Good Morning, DU. What are you listening to right now?

[mcscajun]

I'm listening to WUMB Streaming Audio...at this moment playing David Bromberg's "The Holdup" :)

[fight4my3sons]

1. "M is for Monsters" on Sesame Street

kids are up, they have total control of background noise right now.

After Sesame Street, Dan Zanes goes on!

[mcscajun]

3. And after that, try "Not for Kids Only"

By Jerry Garcia and David Grisman.

:)

[fight4my3sons]

7. Have that too, of course!

I've had them listening to Jerry since before they were born! :)

They like Laurie Berkner too.

[mcscajun]

8. You're raisin' 'em Right.

Very right. :)

[fight4my3sons]

11. Thanks!

They are still very young - the oldest is 3 they younger two are 17 months. They pretty much go along with anything right now. I'm trying to get him into Pete Seeger too, he likes Abiyoyo so far.

I think Dan Zanes is their favorite at the moment. We got his DVD and my older son asks to watch it all the time. I keep emailing his website begging him to come to Portland, but he hasn't made up here yet :-(

We are going to Sesame Street in a week and a half. My son is psyched about that! They younger two don't really "get" that we are going yet.

[mcscajun]

12. The youngest couldn't, of course...they only know two time frames...

...Right NOW! And forever from NOW.

:)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. Switching stations back and forth on the radio...

Waffling between classic rock and the 24/7 x-mas station. I always switch when I get a commercial. :P

[mcscajun]

4. Commercials! ACK! And thus was satellite radio born.

:)

NOT that I have it...wish I could.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

6. Oh, me too.... I SO

want satellite radio.

And I don't have it! :cry:

[fight4my3sons]

9. There's a 24/7 Christmas station in our area?

I think you live near me. I've seen you post on the Maine board before, right?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. Yeah, I'm from Maine.

Greater Portland area.

94.9 WHOM plays "holiday" (read: x-mas) music 24/7 until Christmas. Well, ALMOST 24/7.... they play Dave Koz's smooth jazz syndicated program for two hours every Sunday morning. (Which I listen to--yes, I'm a sucker for schmaltz. My guilty pleasure. :P)

[fight4my3sons]

18. Thanks!

I'm a little north of you - Wiscasset area. We go to Portland for some shopping and I go down for one of my doctors. We moved up three days after Christmas last year, right around that time when it was
-20 degrees! Crap that was cold! I guess we are getting snow tomorrow! I love the snow - fun for my kids :-)

Thanks for the "holiday" music info, I like to listen to it sometimes.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

19. No problem.

Oh geesh, I remember that frigid time. Froze my ass off everyday for a month, I swear it :D :D

Yes--I can't wait for the snow! I really can't get into the whole x-mas groove until there is snow on the ground.

:D :D

[mcscajun]

5. "Girl" from Rubber Soul

Damn. :)

[stlsaxman]

30. I love the bridge of that song "She's the kind of girl..."

and the cymbal crashes sound like the cracks of a whip... i can just see her with a cat-of-nine-tails...

ooooh!

[Maestro]

10. The Goofy Goober Song

from the SpongeBob SquarePants movie. It's Saturday and my kids are watching cartoons. What can I say? ;)

[mcscajun]

13. Not a thing. You're a parent.

No explanations necessary. :)

[Shine]

27. Hello, I can soooo relate!

Spongebob Squarepants rules. I actually love that show. Very funny stuff.

and I know the song of which you mention, too. My 12 yr old son actually bought, with his own money no less, the movie soundtrack on CD.

Sadly, I know most of the words on those songs by heart.

:hi:

14. My breathing, a sleeping's person breathing, a cat's breathing

a train whistle in the distance, my laptop's fan, my keyboard clicking.

[mcscajun]

15. Very peaceful.

Thanks for sharing.

[supernova]

16. My breakfast bacon sizzling

on the stove. :9

[mcscajun]

20. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....Bacon!

omg

[Burma Jones]

21. My Wife and 7 Year old son and 5 Year Old Daughter

performing Romeo and Juliet.

[mcscajun]

22. Wow. Now there's an interesting morning image...

...what prompted that? :)

[Burma Jones]

23. My Five year old has a play theatre set

Both Kids read very well and the wife was an actress. So, since it's cold out, they're playing Romeo and Juliet.

I wanted them to do Macbeth, but the Wife nixed that.

[mcscajun]

26. Yeah, I'm with your wife...

...the thought of your daughter doing Lady Macbeth was probably reason enough. :)

Out, damned spot! out, I say! One: two: why, then, 'tis time to do't. Hell is murky! Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him.

[Shine]

24. I am listening to some stupid rap song as my son and his

sleepover buddy play a Gamecube game on the TV right next to my computer. The game they're playing is called "Need for Speed: Undeground II".

Aren't you thrilled? :eyes: Whatever.

Overlapping the rap is a "Spongebob Squarepants" episode being watched by my daughter and her two sleepover girlfriends, out in the living room.

Yes friends, my house has been taken over by children.

:hi:

25. 89.3 The Current streaming Audio

http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/

[stlsaxman]

28. Podcast of Morning Sedition from last Thursday...

Marc Maron talking to Tim Robbins who said "Hillary Clinton can kiss my butt!"

:headbang: - "Fuckin-A right, Tim! YOU RAWK!!!!!"

Jesus, I'm gonna miss that show terribly... Dan Goldberg is an asshole.

[mcscajun]

29. WUMB has moved on to Mountain Stage...with Beausoleil, Marcia Ball

Tim O'Brien, and Bruce Cockburn.

Beausoliel! :woohoo:

[stlsaxman]

31. My old dear friend Leroy Pierson who has a huge collection of

old-tyme cajun 78's says that the instrument tuner was the death of cajun music. I rather agree with him... it makes it too... polished and cold... like Steeley Dan.

[mcscajun]

33. I'd have to take issue with that. I've heard some of the old time Cajuns

and they're just fine, but everything changes. Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys do Cajun music justice and then some, extending the tradition. Without change, some things just die...or fade away.

Check out the earliest work of Steve Riley and David Greeley, you'll hear that they learned well from the Balfa Brothers. :) And they keep taking Cajun music to the next level, CD after CD. Their live performances are nothing short of electrifying...as the dancers at them will attest to, every one.

And Bruce Daigrepont? Nothing much sweeter than his accordion playing. Lucky me, I'm going to a dance in Sugar Loaf, NY tonight where he'll be performing. Yee-HA!

[two gun sid]

32. James McMurtry - Ole Slew Foot on XM12

[khashka]

34. Susie Bright's "In Bed With Susie Bright"

on my iPod. Just at the moment she's quit talking about sex and is championing communism. Gods that girl is fun.

Khash.

[kedrys]

35. The quiet humming of my computers

and kitties chasing leaves on the deck.

The s.o. just got up, so I'm enjoying the last few minutes of that before the TV comes on. :P

[Broken_Hero]

36. the Matrix Soundtrack right now...
