I’m fine with it as long as I get to personalize the sound. Like I can have my car sound like the Jetsons car or a stampede of horses or Charlton Heston running down the street shouting “Soylent Green is people!”.
It’s still a good idea to look both ways before you cross the street. Jersey City, I’m looking at you, even if you can’t hear my Prius.
Friday's Topic: Worst Year Ever
shutupweirdo:
In solemn observance of Frangry’s 30th birthday (Dec. 14 — petition your congressman now), we ask callers to look back and tell us: after which birthday did it all go wrong for you.
Was it turmoil at 12? An elegy for 18? Trouble at 26? Failure at 40? A deep funk at 50? (Hey, things may be great now, but nothing lasts forever.)
Call Andy & Frangry on the air (201-209-9368)...
Finally watched “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp” (1943), which has been on my DVR for 18 months. Spoiler alert: He doesn’t die at the end, but he’s surely dead by now.

Friday's Topic: Best Invention Ever?
Andy: We don't have a topic yet ... How to Be Cool at Parties: Our Listeners Weigh In, and Slam Charities They Don't Like. Or maybe just the first part.
Frangry: Those topics are embarrassing. We are doing "What's the best invention?"
Andy: That's what it took you all this time to come up with? Really? What's your nominee for best invention? I want to see where you're going with this.
Frangry: cardboard box
Andy: Great. You're writing it up. Here's some touchstones to get you started: fire, wheel, religion/government/democracy, chocolate, steam engine, automobile, computer, nuclear power, birth-control pill, iPod. You're welcome.
Frangry: Boy, thanks Andy! The show would be nothing without your always awesome contributions.
Andy: Blah, blah, blah. Call us on the air (201-209-9368) this Friday from 6 to 7pm EST on WFMU 91.1 (NYC area) or WFMU.org (spoiler alert: via mankind's greatest invention ever), "Shut Up, Weirdo." Promise of Joy, yadda, yadda.

I'm Moving Next Week
frangry:
This past Sunday, I told myself that I would pack two boxes worth of stuff every day until the move. That same day, I packed 7 boxes, and I’ve been sitting on my ass ever since. Ten minutes ago, I taped up another box and labeled it “Crap”. And even though there is nothing in it, I am considering my goal met.
Also, for those nerds out there who give a shit, I went with Fios. Also,...
