Moir Drammaz. Thinking they are from Poland (based on quick google search)
"Review by Frans de Waard (Vital Weekly 263 - a newsletter of Staalplaat Records): "Wojt3k
belongs to the people behind the Polish band Moir Drammaz (who have a
couple of releases on Open Circuit) and works as a visual artist and
runs the Mik Musik label. However this is his first solo release. Even
when some people out there think that Poland is still a remote area,
Wojt3k proofs he's been catching up with the latest stuff on
electronica, more particulary microwave and click music. He presents us
very clinical pieces, pieces that enter a groove, a mode and continue
inside that mode. Clicks remain clicks, and rhythms never become
danceable. Unclear wether these clicks are derived from digital sources
or from good old analogue synths. Wojt3k manages to keep his pieces
short and despite some repetition, his release is varied enough to hold
ones attention throughout. And some of these sounds are inspiring
enough (or should that be "empty enough"?) to attempt remixing or
reworking? Maybe Mik Musik could start a series of likewise releases.
Arty package too, blue transparant box and small edition, 55 copies
only...""

No Problem - I was looking for a way to buy it, and found one (http://wsm.serpent.pl/sklep/album.php?alb_id=1029)
and the track is called, as if it helps until you get a Polish translator:
"czy znasz mnie czy nie?"

"czy znasz mnie czy nie?" = If (or) you know me if (or) not

So, to pick up where we left
off last week - do any web designers feel like taking a shot at
designing a new version of this playlist page, with 3 frames instead of
the current two, so that the most recent comment and the most recent
song dont need to be separated? The only additional requirement is that
this change would need to be applicable to all WFMU playlist pages, not
just this one.
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 9:51amFrom: Chuck
I would do it but I dont know what a frame is. Or how to make a web page. Or how to read good.
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 9:51amFrom: Pat
Why not just add another
small frame to the right of what you have? Keep in mind though that
these frames are hell on search engines. You could be searching for
Frans de Waard in Google and just end up with the comments.
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 9:52amFrom: The Framinator
Finally, a topic I can sink my teeth into. The more frames the better, I always say.
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 9:54amFrom: Trish
If someone just wants to design it, I'll code it in css/html.

mmmmmmmm melons
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 9:58amFrom: Melon Lover
Whether growing or buying
melons, it is discouraging to select melons which are not ripe, and
most people prefer melons which are ripe and freshly picked from the
garden.
Watermelons give you several clues as to when to harvest. Observe the
tendril, a small curly stem (pigtail) on the watermelon vine directly
opposite the point where the melon is attached to the vine. When the
melon ripens, this tendril dries and turns brown or gray. The melon
also develops a "soil spot" where the melon sits on the soil, unless
you periodically turn the melon. Don't turn the melon, because you want
to use this soil spot to determine ripeness in the melon. When the
melon is immature, the spot is greenish or white. As the melon ripens
the spot develops a cream or yellowish color. This indicates ripeness.
Thumping the melon to determine ripeness is difficult. However, people
with a musician's ear may wish to choose their watermelon by thumping
it. A dull thud sound indicates ripeness, or perhaps over-ripeness. A
ringing sound heard when the melon is thumped indicates an unripe melon.
The method with the greatest chance of success for choosing a ripe
watermelon is "plugging," or cutting a plug out of the melon to look at
the flesh just beyond the rind. Some watermelon sellers will plug
melons for you, others do not. Plugging is not acceptable practice in
the grocery store unless the produce manager does it for you. In the
garden, plugging ruins the watermelon if it is not ripe.

Kelly Johnson passed away in July- Lead guitarist of Girlschool during the early 1980s. All-female
groups have always been a rarity in rock music. One of the best was
Girlschool, which combined a heavy metal sound with a punk sensibility
in their early 1980s heyday. The group's outstanding instrumentalist
was lead guitarist Kelly Johnson, who has died of cancer of the spine,
aged 49. Read the obituary in The Guardian.

Of Race With the Devil and
Johnson's trenchant guitar playing, the eminent rock guitarist Jeff
Beck was quoted as saying he "couldn't believe it was a girl playing",
a remark described by the DJ John Peel as the most sexist comment he
had ever heard.

Thanks for all the offers on

Your show is truly
sample-delic today! (You know you're getting old when you recognize the
songs people have cribbed samples from!) Keep spinning good stuph like
this, and I'll be happy!

Design it is! Just email mock-ups/comps to Ken Garson?
Another fine show: any Clash (LondonBooted) sop is cheating, but effective. I'm a sucker for pandering...

Buz - The ideal way to
submit a design is to post it on a server and e-mail me the URL to ken
at wfmu dot org but if you can't post it on a server then send me a
jpeg of the design as an attachment.

Quick note on Pat's "frames
are hell on search engines" comment: That's why the playlist page turns
back into a non-frames-oriented page as soon as the show is finished. I
only go into frames temporarily.

(avatar example #1)
i know people mostly hate the idea of iframes,
but what if the play list and the comment box were in iframes of
their own, that would allow them to dynamically update without making
the whole page flash.
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 11:53amFrom: Buz
(avatar example #2) this may be the first time
geek-speak -- overlayed with whatever the hell ken is playing -- is
cool, so ... Ali, you're suggesting, perhaps an AJAX approach... sorry,
this track is awesome!
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 11:55amFrom: Kenzo
The problems with an iframes-based solution (which I considered):
1) Not going to work reliably in every browser.
2) Still makes the user scroll all over the place to get between totally different kinds of content.
My ideal design, assuming no pop-up for entering comments, is the
3-frames one. I'd stick the comments along the right side in their own
frame, and keep the comments box at the bottom. I think what Ken F.
must be asking for is a more broad pretty-fying of the generic playlist
pages.
Buz: ali's iframes suggestion isn't quite AJAX. I also considered an
AJAX approach but it suffers even more from the mixed browser support
issue. I would consider it unacceptable if a playlist page didn't
function on even one browser. (* The text-based browsers Lynx and Links
DO support regular frames!)
Wed Aug. 1, 2007 11:56amFrom: ali
not necessarily ajax
oriented, just with those stupid iframes, so they could be set inside a
page. and yes this track is great, i think its cause the broad is
laughing so much.
