11:25 am
Good Morning Sam and Majority.fmers.
11:27 am
Fraternizing among the posters wow I forgot you can do that!
11:31 am
sam kinda pre-announced yesterday that there was going to be a guest today; I wonder who it is. Should we do a poll? I think it’s either gonna be laura flanders, marc maron or jeanine aka katherine harris
what’s your guess?
11:32 am
morning all.
11:32 am
Ugh… SO wish they’d open the stream early, either w silence or musak (or something)… Now I gotta sit here continually retrying the connection until it catches.
11:32 am

11:33 am
Nope, still no connection. (11:34am)
11:34 am
Ok, NOW connected…! woot!

No sound yet. Fashionably late?
11:34 am

11:39 am
Cranberry orange muffin warming in the toaster oven for you – help yourself to any of the coffees or teas on the bar.
11:35 am
Fraternizing among the posters”"
ya, it was a turning point in the old MRR blog. at first we posted AT the blog.
it got really interesting when we began posting to each other.
mornin Pink Poodle, welcome to the bloggie, coffee’s on the bar in the solarium.
11:35 am
Got sound!
Hello All !
11:36 am
VCR mode? What century are you broadcasting from…?
11:37 am
Need to use alternate player for sound today -the one on the webpage isnt working for me.
11:37 am
I wonder if the podcast will be available in BetaMax…
11:38 am
no sound here.
?
11:40 am
refreshed the page and the player began working
11:41 am
Mic sounds tinny!
11:41 am
mikes sound good enough.
11:45 am
is there a group level im up and running?
11:45 am
ya a bit tinny but i think that’s bounce off the walls not the mic’s
11:48 am
hey all, Evan-the-producer here. Re-EQing the mic, let me know how it sounds.
11:55 am
I said it sounds tinny. SJ said it may be the sound bouncing off the walls.
11:57 am
mmm. might be the fact that we’re running a condenser rather than a dynamic… thanks, I’ll get on it
12:05 pm
220… 221… whatever it takes.
11:49 am
Nice to see you Dan – no group IM or chat running and while originally sammy said they were thinking of having a Ustream channel – where we all remember having a chat room…. last he said maybe they were not going to have one so we don’t know. For now its here at the blog. Have some coffee and a muffin – best we can offer for now
11:52 am
i stopped in for the great company and to get some sammy
12:07 pm
> “last he said maybe they were not going to have one so we don’t know”
Last word from Sam, in a comment he made to his producer(s), was that they could probably find a chat application separate from their video streaming app. It’s all TBD.
11:53 am
“I represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic party.”
—Paul Wellstone
12:37 pm
was that Wellstone? I heard Howard Dean repeat it often
11:53 am
Student rioting in UK getting bad. People taken to hospital MSNBC reports
11:56 am
Watch ToniD, the State Dept. will issue travel warnings for the U.K. soon, too…
11:57 am
Sam, have you heard of the Pete Peterson Foundation?
11:58 am
Read about it here: http://bluerootsradio.com/?p=4122&cpage=1#comment-33655
12:00 pm
eya Evan
sounds pretty good now.
Sam’s voice tends to buzz a little bit on the percussives.
12:04 pm
Thanks, SJ! working with the limits of the con. mic. Like Sam keeps saying, soft launch!
12:03 pm
eya catchoo!
Paul Wellstone.
seems that the crap really started flying after they crashed his plane and killed him.
12:08 pm
And Carnahan, if you’re going there.
12:09 pm
Re: Wellstone, though…. He was really starting to get some traction in his Senate re-election campaign when he began ramping-up the anti-war talk; even Mary Landrieu started echoing his approach.
12:03 pm
live-1.m3u I am listening this way and I am getting a slight bit of warbling
I like the mic-ing from yesterdays podcast better than today ‘s broadcast.
the gain/ volume might be a little high or Sam is pushing a little bit (out of his sincere intensity) and not used to the distance from the mike that gives the best level. get him a Neumann ( yea thats in the budget). Run Up t0 B&H and see if they have the right mic for this kind of podcast
12:16 pm
the podcast probably has a better bitrate than the webcast, TZ. The sound will be better, fuller.
12:07 pm
court jester thats the only job the aristocracy would have for you.
12:09 pm
no prob Evan, delighted to have a good crew for the show.
waiting for the call in number so we can yak at you all.
12:11 pm
hedge funds
12:12 pm
petersen also wants to turn management of social security over to “wall street”, for a small fee of course
12:13 pm
ya Taozen
Sam was too close to the mike way back when they re-miked at the AAR studio a few years ago.
12:16 pm

12:34 pm
From the video page…
12:16 pm
sound effects a little low on the volume.
12:19 pm
Visual aides – not so helpful on the audio cast. Just sayin’…..
12:32 pm
Sounds like they were working on a video recording. Not sure if it was simply a test or if we might expect a video podcast.
12:25 pm
the only difference between a fascist like kasich (the next governor of ohio) and mussolini is that mussolini had trains.
12:36 pm
chuckle.

12:42 pm
is that working again. last time i tried it, kaspersky blocked it saying there was a trojan script on the site.
12:26 pm
it’s simple enough, we’re talking class warfare here.
they made plans for this in the 1920′s.
12:35 pm
Yep, the PTB have been looking to rollback all the progress that the people and labor made over the 20th Century.
12:38 pm
PTB?
12:41 pm
PTB … “Powers That Be”
12:42 pm
PTB=Powers That Be
12:40 pm
Peaches!
12:42 pm
i like the after show segment best
12:43 pm
me too; i don’t think it gets podcasted though
12:48 pm
Thus far, the IM comments have been included in the podcasts, but Sam has alluded to them only being included in the “premium” package, in the future.
12:42 pm
sam’s like a little kid sometimes….
jet pack!

i loaded up pidgin which is supposed to be a universal im client. everything i’ve tried gets no response so i’m not sure what i’m doing wrong.
1:03 pm
hmmm I don’t know dan – I use AIM specifically for IMing Sam so cannot help with this. hopefully someone else here will be able to guide you futher.
Fingers crossed.
1:03 pm
Sam could do Obama email nigerian scam spam.
love his satire. please encourage him to bring out more of the humor and irony of this shituation.
1:08 pm
ya Dan
last time i tried to IM i had the same hassles.
i like the bloggie, more accessible and it’s a good written reference record.
1:14 pm
Thanks for the plug Sam!
1:18 pm
Well, that was an abrupt ending… was that intentional or technical difficulty?
1:24 pm
heh!
launch tech itchy fingers.
ready for web prime time even so, video next.
1:24 pm
Time for me to get moving. Coffee and tea bar remains open as always help yourself.
IM – For some reason AIM ims seem to not like outside clients – I dont know anything technical to suggest or to help – I hope others here might and will help those with problems – I installed and use AIM express specifically for IM’ing re: sammy and the show etc…. because nothing else worked for me.
Have an awesome day everyone.
1:30 pm
AIM Express can also be run from one’s web browser, avoiding any pesky software installs…

I wrote a song about Paul LePage, Maine’s new governor. Sure he’s said a lot of insane things at tea parties, but hopefully he won’t mess up the state too bad. Follow the link below and you can get the mp3!

1:55 pm
heh!
good one! keep making satirical tunes we need the humor out there.
2:40 pm
thanks jim, the music relieves the pain. pass it on!
of course, getting sammy to play it on the show would make me proud!
2:46 pm
ya Cyrus,
go for it, Sam’s been pretty supportive of the bloggie musicians over the years. Email him the link and a note at :

Sam: Please do not fold guests. It is rude. Or with rope, etc, porno. Or possibly a circus. It’s really just a decision about your niche I guess.

Can Chris Hedges do this?

Actually, I meant this…

1. By all means, save time & test equipment on the air, but don’t DISCUSS the testing on the air (people are tuning out or off during excessive show logistics talk; write notes down and discuss it later)
2. LOVE the PODCASTs!!! (I too don’t own a TV and manage fine without cable….and will until Verizon/Google turns the net into a gated exclusive community…until we subscribe direct to Indian sat cos???)
3. Happy to hear others find L O’Donnell self-gratuitious slurry, despite any other talents he may have! Every time Rachel Maddow plugs him, I try him again, and every time I turn it off (except when M Moore was on; I’ll look again to hear the show you cited), because every sentence he mentions has some kind of self-kowtow ego massage in it I would prefer to live without!
4. Keep nailing the blue dogs & drawing the clear lines! Now how to get the social security thieving ultra-rich message out to the masses? (Your printed flier idea is sounding better suddenly to this new listener!!!)
6:08 am
no entertainment stories, please!!!! — life is too short for yet another source of mindless chatter; you mix in plenty of your own entertainment while talking about stuff that matters; anyhow, you’ve got the inside scoop on Myla, who can match that
12:34 pm
that’s puritanism – dealing with people that don’t agree with your fundamental beliefs.
9:02 pm
Sam, I realize your principles won’t allow this, but on This Week in Tech (TWiT) podcast, they talked about how good Heil microphones were and the next week they received a shipment of them.
6:23 am
Thank you for your post!
