22 Jan 2010: "an excellent year" sez Webster (1970)

[Alicat]

I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles...but they can't explain these excruciating times getting page loads, so I think I'll worry about some other stuff.  Listening & enjoying!  BOS to everything so far.

p.s. I start the new job on Monday, so no idea what my 10:00 hour is going to look like yet.

You saw me drop off pretty completely with my new (now old) job. I feel very positive about new opportunity about to happen. More on that later on the private thread.

[RGMike]

BOS Kinks, of course. and proxy of Urth.

Question: Do you guys think Apeman has any racist sentiments in any way?  Would it be written today?  It never occurred to me until I just recently read some internet rant about it.  

WHAT?? you can find an incoherent internet rant about *anything*, dude.  It's a song about wanting to go back to the jungle because modern life sucks.

[Tinka Cat]

BOS to Tears Of A Clown.  One of my favorite songs of all time.

[RGMike]

BOS5 Smokey; BOS6 MJ & his brothas, making a pack.

[Alicat]

BOS little michael. I'll be there.
so sweet.

yeah, I know what it's about, that's what I was thinking, too.  Just wondering what you all thought.  

BTW, I would have like hearing Powerman instead of Apeman. At least we didn't get Lola's dark brown voice this time.

Congrats on accepting the job offer!!!

BOS to "It's a Shame," doubt I'll post much more during this set what with these slow load times.

[RGMike]

BOS7 the Spinners, one of *my* favorite singles of all time.

[mshray]

What a great week this has been, a stellar MLK set, and then '67, '70, '76 & '81.  The only low point was the first half of the '81 set.

ETA: page loads quite a bit better, but still sub-optimal.

[RGMike]

Holy crap! BOS8 Macca in the fallin' rain, mama! That *would* be something!

[Davefish]

Mama told me not to post when it takes this long, but I do like Three Dog Night.

[Alicat]

with the slow page loads, I tried accessing my work web mail while waiting and guess what... no access. I tried at least 5 times. Maybe I have been let go and just not told yet. hmmmmm........On Tuesday I had an email requesting my work phone get shipped back to a processing center but no email saying a new one was shipped. Phones do get swapped regularly but I still wonder.

[Alicat]

Ride Capt. Ride.......fab set today

[urth]

Another fab set I had to miss 'cause of a meeting. Oh well, got some things worked out on our building project that really needed to be. Really hoping to be able to catch the replay tonight--or is KFOG doing a simulcast of the Haiti telethon like they did for the 9/11 telethon in 2001, which resulted in a really great '71 set being lost to the ages, iirc?

Btw, congrats to Mshray on the new gig--nice that you're able to dive right in Monday morning! And best of luck to Alicat on her opportunity--you're due!

Looks like the new gig is pretty uptight about internet use & the cubes are close enough together I doubt I can listen effectively.  And in any case there is a standing company meeting at 10:00 every Monday, so for sure you won't see me then.

But having a job sure beats not having one!
