if you have, tell us what you think. we're attending the features show at the red rose on thursday, the 28th.
we're planning to talk to the band and possibly get them on the show at some point.

i made an attempt while driving to the dr tuesday morning, but it was 9a so i missed out.

yeah i get an e for the effort i made to try and listen, but apparently you have to be down the hall from the control room if you wanna pick up the signal...

I actually pass Mboro every Monday right at 6am so I've listened a couple of times. Once was when you played Figure 8 in its entirety (kudos for that) and the last time there was some trance-y stuff on- I assumed your alarm clock hadn't gone off. But thanks for the Elliott, at least

yeah we overslept one morning. but everyone should tune in tommorrow when the album of the week is ......
PET SOUNDS by the beach boys!!! thank you to everyone who has tuned in, gram parsons and i greatly appreciate it.

'friends' is way better than 'pet sounds'. it pisses me off that some of the beach boys best music goes unnoticed because of that album. it's like saying 'sgt. pepper's...' is the greatest beatles album and ignoring the rest of their catalog.

personally, i enjoy the 'smile' bootleg i have more than pet sounds, but for the sake of giving people an excellent album of the week that doesnt fill up the whole show, we chose pet sounds.

hells yeah, mo' love for 'friends'. what about 'wild honey?'

post sixties bech boys is so nice. somebody fix me a bahama mama.

'wild honey' rules too. '20/20' is a lot of fun as well. i'll second your call on 'little bird'. dennis has a cool voice.

you have suprised me in yer love for said albums. perhaps you have better tastes in music that i thought.

there's more to me than post-punk and scandinavian pop you know....i can be a kind person. i can even listen to a sloan record without getting pissed off.

wow!!!!!!
you've come a long way, baby.

indeed i have. time for me to go early morning grocery shopping.

You should avoid talking at all costs. Just play music. You sound really goofy. Good music though.

i thoroughly enjoyed your two for tuesday show. it was very good.

Yes call me lame but I have decided to spend my Sunday morning going through all the stuff that I missed while I was...well suffering through the second semester of my senior year. I came across this and thought that I would say that Across the Pond actually introduced me to the Hives. I did listen every morning on the way to good ol' SHS. One morning I wanted to hear Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground but didn't have a CD player, and it was played and I was hooked after that.

So that's my story. Way-hey.

hahaha. i used to call in when i was awake. i liked to give ray davies a hard time. of course, it was rare for me to be up that early. getting up before noon is for motivated people.

Or you can be like me: programmed to do it. Yeah right now I get up at 11 or so, but when school starts it'll be up at 6, bed by 10 without fail. I can try to resist but it is no use. I can feel the icy fingers of learning creeping up on me...slowly...it's only a week away!

And I still have to read The Color of Water and go to a seminar next week. If it is anything like the customs HELL then I will definitely drop out and get that College-at-home-thing that Sally Struthers won't stop talking about.

first of all...

getting up in college sucks even worse, but luckily you have the ability to sleep between classes. it's nothing like customs, in that you aren't forced to interact with overly perky tennesseans (this coming from a west virginian perspective- perky tennessee girls can be annoying when you don't care what they're talking about- maybe it's the accent) who bullshit you about everything.

second of all...

well, there really is no second of all. i made it up. anyways, i'd be willing to bet that you break your normal sleep patterns. it's part of the lifestyle.

is sally struthers still alive? last time i saw she was looking prone to heart failure...

I swear I spent 2/3 of the two orientation days sitting around doing nothing. And the people....I've never seen so many frat guys and *Happy Happy* girls. And trust me, I have lived in TN all my life and those girls are just as annoying. I love the fact that they made us take a "tour around campus" for about an hour in the 100 degree heat. That was lovely.

At least I do have about an hour in between all my classes. Sleep time indeed.

Hmmm. Tennessee girls who bullshit you about everything and have bad accents? Man...I hope this isn't your outlook on my personality.

of course not. i was actually referring to other tennessee girls that i met last year- specifically the ones who worked customs. i'm sure i would never use this board a forum through which to casually bash you- even though we are supposed to fight sometime...

That's good to know. And, yes...the fight will still happen...or our version anyway.

what is this so-called version? perhaps you should get in touch with my promoter, don king, before you plan anything.

Well, I'm glad that someone other than my girlfriend and Damon listened to Across the Pond. Thank you for listening, Digsy Slattery. I think Across the Pond may be from 4-6 pm every day this year, but I'm not sure. Wow, I'm still amazed that somebody listened.

Damon and I have pulled many nights where it's 4 am and I have to be up at 5:30 am so I'll just stay up for a day or two. Your sleep pattern will be so fucked up. I'm not even kidding. We would just live for the weekend. It was the only time that we could get any sleep.

i too listened whenever i had the chance. darned good show. good job ray davies.

Ray, where'd you get the info there was a Red Rose show on the 28th?

Check the dizate of that original post Brizian. Ok, I'm sorry.

D'oh!

haha, funny stuff. cheers on the use of dizzate as well.

I'm always down for some Snoop Dogg lingo. Although I am not a master at it.

But I do know what "Fo shizzo my nizzo, used to dribble down in PA" means...

i will one day mizzaster it. and i too know what that lyric means. but i still can't solve the great mystery of the "women's anthem of the year" (aka "my neck, my back") lyrics.... go figure.

Back to the original topic, what is Across the Pond on? I'd never heard of it before the other day.

it was an exceptional show on mtsu radio station early mornings.

I'll announce on the message board when our new time slot is as soon as I get the info. The anticipation mounts...... maybe not.

However, I will have my own show this year called "the modern world". It's a 60's mod/garage rock show. I'm very excited about it. I'll do it and Across the Pond.

I'm always up for hearing older music that I've never heard (it gives me stuff to look for on vinyl). I look to you now, Ray Davies. Guide me to the musical promised land.

I'm very excited about the show. I've been contemplating flyer ideas all summer, constantly drawing and looking up photos on the internet. The show is basically a continuation of my infatuatuation with all things mod.
My main goal on the show is to devote the entire 2 hour block one day to the features as soon as the album comes out. I hope to get the boys in the studio so I can perhaps do an interview and possibly get them to play an acoustic set. I can only wish, though.....

(Edited by ray davies at 9:54 am on Aug. 13, 2002)

As promised, I learned the time slot of my show today. The Modern World will air on Sundays from 10 am to noon. I'm very excited about it. Also Across the Pond will air on Wed. from 10pm to midnight.

Hope you all will listen.
