I love "Michael," which is one of the Gayest Songs Ever
I have 10 Marc Almond albums, half a dozen Pet Shop Boys albums, the complete works of Erasure, Pansy Division and the Boystown Gang who'd like to discuss that with you...
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Modest Mouse's Good News For People Who Love Bad News, on which I seem to love half the songs and find the other half really annoying
I feel the same way about this album. If you *really* love half, try Lonesome Crowded West which is their best beginning to end album, IMO.
It's not over yet, but - great show Jon! I will be listening next week for sure. (Also the interbunny/iTunes/the whole streaming radio station from across the country thing still amazes me.)
An interview with John Flansburgh (half of They Might Be Giants) about a compilation benefit for MoveOn.org he's doing with Spike Jonze.
I live on the East coast, tommyrot, but it doesn't help me hear Jon's show. Way too far for the radio & I can rarely get MBR's streaming audio. High bandwidth's always full & low, when it works, sounds like shit. So I just look at the playlists & think, "Don't know that one. Don't know that one. Don't know that one. Heard of them, but not the song. Don't know that one. I know that one! Wait... no, I know a different version. Don't know that one. Too bad they only archive the playlists." And if they archive the shows I didn't find the link.

Well, when I tried to connect (starting at 9:00 eastern time) I kept on getting the message that the server has reached its maximum number of connections and can't accept any more. I was thinking that if I tried to connect at 8:00 eastern (7:00 here) I'd have been able to get a connection before they were all gone.
At 9:03 ADT (8:03 EDT) I couldnt get on the high bandwith streams.
Damn east coasters, with their early-getting-up ways!
That DLR story is very weird, Joe.
Anyhoo, thanks to everyone who could listen and apologies to those who couldn't get on. It does typically fill-up in the first hour. I recorded the show and plan to archive it so youse who missed it will have a chance to listen. In the meantime, today's playlist.
Hey Jim -- have you heard the Outnumbered? I played them this morning. They were Jon Ginoli's band prior to Pansy Division, and much better IMO. I admire Pansy Division, but song after song about gay sex gets wearing after awhile.
I like the Outnumbered! I used to go see them all the time in Champaign.
