Listener comments!

6:03am fxo:

our day begins. How's bayou?

6:03am ! I X Key !:

! Good morning (o:

6:17am bibi:

hi fxo and all. this is the right humor for my monday morning.

6:21am fxo:

hello X Key & bibi. It's morning, here in Jersey City. All is (s)well.

6:32am bibi:

this is probably the first mogwai tune i genuinely enjoy since the happy songs lp...

6:33am HarktheUmpire:

There was still water in the mug I just poured my coffee into.
DAMMIT!

6:33am HarktheUmpire:

Hope you're having a better morning.

6:34am bibi:

@hu, do you call it 'socket juice' in english ?

6:36am Sem Chumbo:

Socket juice: excellent! Hiya, Frank. Good morning, and hello all.

6:37am Brian in UK:

Good day fxo. We need some ice creams over here and some Love!!!

6:38am HarktheUmpire:

Being Dutch, I don't know, but that is a great term, Bibi!
I'm glad I couldn't find 'socket juice' on urbandictionary.

6:39am P-90:

Good Morning fxo and all

6:39am bibi:

un jus de chaussette is the regular drink on french construction sites in the morning.
la Kro for the afternoon... (i let you google)

6:39am fxo:

hallo to Hark, Sem, and UK Brian.

6:40am left:

I'm having a latte graciously made for me this morning. And the sun is shining on the daffodils. G'mo everyone.

6:41am fxo:

and goob morning, P-90 and left

6:41am left:

sock juice - does that mean using a sock as a coffee filter?!

6:41am HarktheUmpire:

Hey Frank!

Jus de chaussette would literally be sock juice, right?
La Kro is... Kronenbourg, the beer?

6:44am P-90:

Un jus de chaussette is cheap, crappy coffee, tasteless and weak. Not sue about "La Kro"

6:45am P-90:

"Not SURE" - not Sue either, but who's counting

6:47am bibi:

yes, la kro is the regular cheap neutral beer in france.
sorry for my poor translation, sock juice.
socket juice is way more dangerous, but tastier.

6:49am P-90:

Yes, if it's "electrical socket juice" it migh tbe dangerous

6:50am duke:

Good morning. Where can I get some of this socket juice. I could use some this morning.

6:51am HarktheUmpire:

I'll use it on girls, when I put on my fake french accent.
"Doo not drink zis disgoosting crepe! Zis jus de chaussette! Let me make yoo some real café!"

6:51am HarktheUmpire:

I suck at this.

6:51am Sem Chumbo:

Isn't "sockette" a little sock, en francais?

6:52am Guido from Cologne:

Good morning Frank!
Guten TZAG everyone!

6:53am P-90:

Ciao Guido!

6:53am HarktheUmpire:

Anyway. Frank, thanks for playing this particular track. It's not just beautiful, it's dedicated to the province in the Netherlands where I grew up. The man reading is a famous Dutch comedian.

6:53am bibi:

@sem, une soquette, right, thus my mistake.

6:55am fxo:

duke, and Guido, we're here wit' you. Thanks for the info Hark.

6:56am HarktheUmpire:

Michiel Romeyn, that comedian, was part of a comedy trio who made Jiskefet, an absurd comedy show that ran for about 25 years until a couple of years ago.
Obviously most sketches involve a lot of spoken Dutch, but I can find a few things that don't require you to learn the language...

7:02am HarktheUmpire:

Sorry for hijacking the comments section!

7:03am bibi:

@hu, i never really understood music in netherlands.
in regular music discussions, i cannot name more than solex and de heideroosjes (excluding of course the infinite list of cheesy tech producers).
well, i never understood much about netherlands, except architecture and speed skating.

7:06am fxo:

Hijacking? I beg to differ.

7:07am bibi:

btw, the trainman scene is wonderful and incarnates wonderfully my ununderstanding.

7:08am HarktheUmpire:

I don't know much more than you to be honest. There's the Ex of course. Some one hit wonders, like George Baker, Golden Earring and the Pussycats, and some more decent, but often sentimental stuff from the 60s and 70s, like Ramses Shaffy and Boudewijn de Groot.

Here's a 'classic': www.youtube.com...
Famous 60s protest song: www.youtube.com...

7:10am P-90:

Has it been an hour already? "Time flies when you're having fun" --and especially when you're half asleep and having fun

7:13am P-90:

@Hark: In America, Golden Earring are more like 3.5 hit wonders

7:13am HarktheUmpire:

In the last 15 years, the best artist by some distance is Spinvis, who is shamefully ignored on WFMU... though I'm trying hard to get him played. One day soon...

7:14am luca:

speaking of weak, tasteless coffee: 'mare piss' in belgian dutch

7:14am bibi:

amazing language you got, hu.

7:14am Jeroen Kuster:

good morning all

7:14am HarktheUmpire:

Oh, and Focus of course... whose Hocus Pocus AmEdeo always plays. They're Dutch too. The guitarist of Focus is known to be an extremely arrogant prick.

7:15am P-90:

I'm sure I've heard Spinvis once or twice on "The Fun 91", no?

7:16am bibi:

@luca, why dont you say flemish ? are you shy because a real dutch is in here ? ;)

7:17am Sem Chumbo:

@bibi: ah, stirring the pot, I sense.

7:17am luca:

strictly speaking, flemish is only the western variant of belgian dutch bibi ;)...the eastern ones being brabantish and limburgish...but in french, indeed, it's all 'flamand'

7:18am P-90:

Jan Akkerman maintains his reputation as "an arrogant prick" even though he's still coasting on a couple of hits from 1970? Pretty good...

7:19am P-90:

@fxo: LOVE this "Where is the Love?"

7:20am HarktheUmpire:

@P-90: I can't find him in the artist browser.

Flemish Dutch, I consider it a dialect. I kind of speak it. Brabants, Limburgish Dutch don't sound nearly as good.
More interesting music came from Flanders than the Netherlands in the last 30 years actually.

Here's another kind of recent Dutch hit I forgot about:
www.youtube.com...

7:20am HarktheUmpire:

gotta get back to work now...

7:20am fxo:

backatcha Jeroen.

7:21am Sem Chumbo:

@Hark: this ISN'T your work?

7:22am bibi:

@sem, fxo begged to differ, so i execute.
@luca, of course im kidding, and i do agree with hu, so much more interesting music comes from belgium (at least artists i know about).

7:23am luca:

herman brood ain't that bad either...aha, zeelandic hark ;)

7:23am Sem Chumbo:

Re: language variants. Once saw a France 2 documentary about French-speaking aboriginal healers from Northern Quebec. The healers were speaking Quebec French, but France 2 provided subtitles, in "real" French.

7:24am HarktheUmpire:

Zeeuws, luca, Zeeuws.

7:24am P-90:

@Hark:
Jan Akkerman = Focus guitarist, no?
Ohhhh...I see he's been out of the band since 1990. I had the wrong arrogant prick, who exactly is the current prick you referred to?

7:25am luca:

@hark: i know...thought zeelandic was the english term en.wikipedia.org...

7:25am bibi:

@sem, yep, real deep quebecians are ununderstandable to regular metropolitans like me. more an accent problem than vocabulary one. you live in france or did ?

7:26am HarktheUmpire:

@P-90: No idea. Jan Akkerman is famous for being a prick. I had no idea Focus existed beyond the 70s.

@luca: what do those english know? :P

7:29am bibi:

i'll stir the pot again, maybe that's why luca said belgian dutch and not flemish...

7:29am Sem Chumbo:

@bibi:My father is from Normandy, so heard THAT kind of French at home and the Quebec version on radio/TV/at school in Canada.

7:30am bibi:

@sem, so you are an english canadian (unlike belgian dutch) with a portuguese pseudo ?

7:32am Sem Chumbo:

Just so.

7:34am P-90:

@Hark:
OK it was Spinvis you couldn't find, not Jan Akkerman, who therefore IS still apparently an arrogant prick, even though coasting on a couple of hits from 1970, with a band he hasn't played with for 23 years
Got confused there...funny you're a native and didn't know Focus has reformed a few times, shows how unimportant they've been without the arrogant prick, I guess

7:34am luca:

@bibi: bit logical…viewed from across the channel, it’s all the same language, dutch….just like the french call german ‘allemand’ (= all men btw), even though that’s just the name for one dialect, spoken in the southwest of germany….pars pro toto

7:35am P-90:

..I'm more coherent AFTER coffee, getting some right now...

7:37am HarktheUmpire:

@P-90: That's right. Sorry for the confusion! Focus was never big, as far as I know. Not Golden Earring big in any case. Akkerman just considers himself the greatest guitarist in the history of.. well, the universe I guess?
Another cup of coffee would be great. Yes! This time without water in my cup.

7:38am Sem Chumbo:

Stellar set, fxo. This Pirate Jenny thing is pure sorcery.

7:40am P-90:

@fxo: yes, Pirate Jenny was quite magical

7:42am bibi:

@sem, i feel so tasteless now, like a sock juice, i ll look for an indonesian pseudo.
@luca, yes, meanings differ when crossing borders, shifting language, if it wanst that early i would pompously say 'empiric metonymies'. yet flemish is flemish. btw they say deutsch, i say allemand, most here say german, any idea why italians say tedescho ?

7:44am dicxlx kkfu8k:

yeahhh

7:44am Sem Chumbo:

@bibi: how about this: tanpa timbal.

7:46am mauri:

Afternoon

7:48am bibi:

wow, thank you world leading search engine for helping me. nice one sem.
is there a patent i must pay for ?
im pretty sure many consonants happen in the dutch version

7:48am P-90:

Originally, where Germany is now, there were many small nation-states (like in Italy) and the educated, formal language was Latin, but the common language was called "Theodisce"
So: This was "La lingua Tedesca" to the Italians

7:50am fxo:

hey Mauri, welcome to our club.

7:50am Sem Chumbo:

@P-90: thanks for the research, I had wondered about that:)

7:51am HarktheUmpire:

Yeah, me too P-90. Thanks!

7:54am P-90:

Various pronunciations of "Theodisce" were also the origins of "Deutsch" in German

7:57am mauri:

Thanks Frank. Hows tricks? So many birds came back here already. Saw a swan couple this morning too.

7:59am P-90:

@mauri: hyvaa huomenta!
Swans are returning in pairs to Central Park in New York also. Ah, Spring...

8:00am bibi:

wow, very interesting, even more considering theodisce sounds more greek than roman. this will never end.

8:02am bibi:

...or it will end somewhere in the rift valley.

8:03am mauri:

Hey P-90 ! spring indeed! Tomorrow I go to record a friends band for 10 days. That'll be fun. Haven't left this shore for months.

Nice gurgling Fgrank!

8:03am doca:

Morning, FXO and FXOers

8:04am bibi:

@mauri, at least you got a shore... my life is desperately continental.

8:05am P-90:

Everyone who learns Italian wants to know where the Hell "tedesco" comes from, it seems so far from "German" in any other familiar language.
Tedesco is also a surname in Italy, presumably once adopted by those of German descent.

8:07am P-90:

@bibi: "Desperately Continental" sounds like it could be the name of a song from a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musical film from the 1930's

8:07am fxo:

hello from all of us, doca.

8:08am P-90:

Good Morning, doca

8:08am bibi:

now we know it's deutsch coming from tedescho...
before seeing it on the list, i thought this was some kind of 70s original version i didnt know about and felt miserable. this is probably my fave qotsa tune, and this cover is good. thx fxo.

8:09am mauri:

@bibi Jeah I sure like waking up to see the ice melting and moving about, trees around me and birds singing. But I'm going to move at some point.

8:10am bibi:

@p90, yeah, it would be ternary. quite fast pace, lots of brass.

8:10am P-90:

@mauri: so no more morning skiing?

8:10am bibi:

@mauri, are you that north ? like oulu or something ?

8:12am doca:

Morning, P-90.

8:12am mauri:

@bibi, no, I'm in southeast. Between the largest lake and Russian border.

8:14am bibi:

like close to viipuri ? there's ice down there. remember helsinki in march (i think), no ice floating around in the sea...

8:14am HarktheUmpire:

Aaaaaaaaahahhhahahahahahahaha!
I'M DONE WORKING!

8:17am Sem Chumbo:

Nas and Damien are possessed.

8:17am HarktheUmpire:

I was in Finland once. We noticed that nobody said a single word the entire train ride from Helsinki to Tampere. But then in the evening, when some alcohol was consumed...

8:17am P-90:

@fxo: great playlist, sorry if the quality of the music's been neglected on Comments.
Gang Starr reminded me that the AM web-only shows aren't subject to FCC regs......ha!

8:18am common:

good morn everyone!

8:19am P-90:

Ahoy common!

8:19am mauri:

@bibi in joutseno. Never been to Russia.

@P-90 thats often the case.

8:20am mauri:

heheh I meant
@HarktheUmpire, that's often the case!

8:20am fxo:

the discourse is working well, IMHO.
yes, good morning, common.

8:21am bibi:

@hu, yep, all the same, some really good memories once finnish girls drink ! the obvious contrast in night & day experiences made it very emotional for me, i remeber it like being in a tragicomedy movie (sorry for the cheesy comparison but it is).

8:25am Sem Chumbo:

@bibi:"Once Finnish Girls Drink" = '60's exploitation movie title.

8:26am HarktheUmpire:

@bibi: I think I know what you mean, I found Kaurismäki's films portray Finland pretty accurately.

8:28am bibi:

this rap quart d'heure was delicious btw.
@sem, a low budget sequel to "à nous les petites anglaises".

8:36am P-90:

@sem: ad campaign slogan: "Once Finnish Girls Drink, can mayhem and hilarity be far behind?"

8:40am Sem Chumbo:

@P-90: you were born to write movie posters!

8:41am P-90:

OK, this Mr. Sandman thing is far-freakin-out

8:42am P-90:

Hey @fxo: is that all there is of "Sandman"?

8:45am bibi:

mayhem & hilarity are only by-products, P90, indeed it makes it an even better teaser....

8:46am fxo:

P-90: it was part of a loop that I put together, way back when.

8:47am Guido from Cologne:

@Frank
What is your favoured audio-mixing software.
'm still stuck with ol'-fashioned Cubase/Wavelab on my old system.

8:49am Sem Chumbo:

@Frank: another successful Exciting Moments salon this morning. Really dug the music and talk. See you and everyone next time.

8:50am fxo:

time is getting late. Thanks for the great conversation(s), between alla yez. Have a nice week. I'll be back, with a new webcast, next week (Monday, and later, in the FMU archives).
Enjoy yourselves.
Peace ...

8:52am HarktheUmpire:

Thanks for a great set, Frank!

8:52am P-90:

Thanks, Mr. O'Toole!
btw: what IS your favorite editing software???

8:53am bibi:

the groove of this groove is oddly close to a lindstroem tune. guitar might be the same source.
fxo, please reply guido's question, i want to know too !
otherwise brilliant set.

8:55am fxo:

Guido, I'll never tell. Things are put together, as time DOES fly!

8:57am P-90:

so: tight-lipped, ay? nyuk nyuk nyuk

8:57am duke:

thanks fxo

8:58am Guido from Cologne:

Allrighty ... thanx 4 the exiting and pleasant mixes Frank!

9:01am Ken From Hyde Park:
