GMAS...
So that everyone here get's the chance of a shout on this week's show, and there choice of song I play, here is your chance, don't waste a second.
I'm still feeling a little flakey after our holiday, Rene's on the mend though, I'm cooking dinner tonight, and I'm going to have a go at sushi, we've got all the stuff and I feel confident, I'll let you know how it goes on the show, but if anyone has any word's of wisdom between now and this evening, please share them.
I just watched the San Marino Grand Prix, I loved it, but I must say that it wasn't the best of race's, whether that was to do with the director, or the actual race, I shall never know.
Once again, please let me know if you want a shout on IN THE ATTIC this week, and tell me the particular song's you would like me to play. Also, any useless fact's you have would be appreciated, as I seem to have exhausted my supply. I hope everyone's having a good weekend, take care you lot, and GMaS.

Mikey! I *love* sushi, and it's so much fun to make, so have fun with that!
I'd love a shout on ITA, and how about playing "Plasticine" or "Pretty Heart" (with Rachel)?
Thanks and good luck... Hopefully I'll have some more cartoons done, as well! :D
Cheers,
-L-
Hi Mikey,
If your not to sick of playing it I would love to hear Plasticine again :)
If you need a useless fact here is one for you:
In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders.
How gross is that!
Take Care

Hi Mikey, now you will have to write this useless fact down 'cos I know that you'll forget. At two minutes and three seconds past one on 4th May 2006 it will be 01.02.03 04/05/06. Plasticine would be good this week or anything else. Like 'em all. Mark
Hi Mikey,
I am still feeling special from my shout-out when Joe tried to break up with me by e-mail...so you don't have to shout out to me this week. I already feel special.
I say "tried to break up" because I think he needs to do it in person. I'm going to see him when I'm in California next weekend.
Luv ya! Good luck with the sushi. Perhaps I'll blog you a useless fact today, if I come upon one.
You look really good in your photos. My son and I went to get our passport photos taken yesterday, and mine is...horrid! really embarrassingly horrid.
Love,
Brina
P.S. Your hand placement in the photo is pretty cute! giggggle
Ha! Mikey the construction worker.
You look pretty comfortable in the role. ;-)
I would love a shout out.
I have some useless facts about Minnesota for you.
Minnesota has 90,000 miles of shoreline, more than California, Florida and Hawaii combined.
Minneapolis’ famed skyway system connecting 52 blocks (nearly five miles) of downtown makes it possible to live, eat, work and shop without going outside.
Minnesota has one recreational boat per every six people, more than any other state.
Feel My Heat, haven't heard that in a while!!!
I'd love a SHOUT! But, I'm just to embarrassed to ask.. ha ha,
But, what would you call me? Not lzygrl, that is a dumb profile name, I used it because, in the beginning, I didn't want to be "known". Now, I feel a bit safer in blogland. You can use Sue or Susie or Susan. My name leaves me a bit schizophrenic. See, I was named Susan, my family stills calls me that, some cousins and friends call me Susie. But, mostly, I refer to myself as Sue. So, you pick. I'll know you mean me! I can't believe it is #9 already. Hey, would you think of doing a John Lennon cover, in honor of #9? Anyway, whatever song(s) you choose, always sound superb!
All the best,
Sue
Hi Mikey,
Apologies, but, I missed the first part of last week's ITA. Did you play the White Stripes video? I'll be so bummed if you did & I missed it, as I was the one clamoring for it for so long. But if not, then I would like to ask for that song/video again. (I feel like such a nag.)
It's been a very floody season where I live on the Northern California Coast. Apparently the whales are still doing their migration. (Cool!) It's been tough to get to the coast as often as I like due to flooded roads and landslides. Anyway, I thought I'd tell you a useless fact about where I live:
In Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "The Birds," it appears as if the schoolhouse is within the Bodega Bay coastal town limits. The frightened children are clearly shown running downhill towards the town and water. In real life, the schoolhouse used for those shots is located 5 miles southeast and inland of Bodega Bay in the separate township of Bodega, California. The ocean isn't even visible from the schoolhouse or church.
Here’s a simpler useless fact: The seeing-eye dog, or any dog trained to guide the blind, cannot tell a red light from a green one. When it lead its master across the street, it watches the traffic flow to tell when it is safe to cross.
As to sushi: I have no words of wisdom about it. I can’t do the raw fish thing, but I do like vegetarian sushi, with LOTS of that hot green pasty stuff. If my eyes are not watering, then I’m not using enough.
Enjoy your evening!
Much Love,
-Natalie
Hola Mikey!!!
Ha,ha, you look very funny in the photo...
Yeah, I would like to hear "Plasticine" too and "We will fix it"...
I'm afraid I don't like sushi Mikey, so I can't help you..:(...what about doing a "paella"??, hehe..
I couldn't watch the race today as I was on a trip, but it's ok as I don't like the Imola circuit....I think that the race in Montmeló, Spain, is on the 14th of May....One of my workmates is going and got very good tickets...
Love,
Elena

Wanted to make sure you knew about this:
http://www.ukmusicweek.co.uk/newmusic/
incidentally, my fave tracks are still Plasticine and My Pigeon Friend. :-)
ok, here's a useless fact, now everyone else reading cover your eyes. Ready...You can't tickle yourself.
ok, just trying to help! ;)
Hi Mikey!
I requested that you and Rachel sing "Pretty Heart" last week - I guess that's her song-right? We haven't heard "My Pigeon Friend" for awhile!
BIG SMILE :) (Isn't that Pete's favorite song of yours?). I was cracking up when you were calling "Behind Blue Eyes" "Mr. Blue Eyes!" Oh Mikey how could you? Blasphemy! ha ha. I think you bruised Pete's ego just a smidge. (kidding) Of course he had to give YOU *hit back! Too funny.
Oh man my neighbor upstairs GUTTED his apartment - it sounded like a jackhammer was going full blast in my livingroom for a WEEK straight ALL DAY LONG. It was misery...torture I tell ya. I thought of you and your renovation woes.
Anyway, if you want to GMAS I would love it!
Peace,love and sunshine,
Sue D.
PS kid ric has a million useless facts on his blog, just fyi!
Hi Mikey,
I thoroughly enjoyed your Indonesia Journal, but I have one question:
What is the signifance of mentioning your morning bowel movement, or poo in your diary? I don't mean that in a mean way either. Is that another one of those "English/British" things, 'cause as an American is seems unusual.
But, your awesome, and I am so glad to have gotten to know you from reading your blog, listening to your music and watching you on ITA. Your absolutely adorable (and talented)!!!
Johanna :)
Oh, yes, "My Pigeon Friend"! Please, please, pretty please....and "Pretty Heart." Those would be my choices.
Hugs, Brina
Mikey,
I am going to do a plug here for Suesjoy's blog. It is full of amazing pics and anecdotes of her current journey through Taipei. Don't miss it.
And, Sue if you are here, I am having trouble getting to post a comment to you, so I thought I would get you here!
And another PLEA for Feeel my heat, feel my heat, do do do doya da do do.....
Dolphins can swim and sleep at the same time.
Mikey, you continue to rule the fucking universe. :)
Whatever you play will be fine by me. All of your music is wonderful and I will enjoy anything you play.
As far as a useless fact, did you know that you get more radiation from smoking a cigarette than you do from a chest xray. I learned that one in xray school many years ago.
If you don't have too many already, you can give me a shout out. I will be watching live this week.
Take care of yourself and I'm glad Rene is on the mend!
Zoe
Nice picture by the way!
Sorry Mikey,
Left this part out on the Dolphins. How does a dolphin sleep if it lives underwater but has to breathe air? The solution is a series of short naps. The dolphin's brain divides itself in two, that is, one half is asleep while the other half stays awake to get the dolphin to the surface for air.
That's a great photo mikey, yes!
I was up in the mountains this weekend with no internet, and actually got quite into the San Morino F1 race also, I don't watch motorsports, any kind of sports actually, but thought of you and watched most of it.
I also figured out how to play Matches as I love it. It's a bit of a challenge to sing and play at the same time though.
Play anything you like, would be interested in your take on Plunder The Covers some day, anything by Nick Drake, Paul Weller or Pete Townshend, any singer songwriter from the UK in fact.
Hope your Sushi turned out ok, I'm going to have a go at Sheppards Pie with left over spuds.
Hi Mr.Constructor!
Cool pic! I LOVE IT.
Let me say my useless fact..I had
experienced a part-time job at Sushi resuraunt in Tokyo for one year when I was a university student.
So let me help you cook sushi next time.lol.
My request is..My Pigeon Friend!!
Please Please Please..
See you there on Wednesday.
Tomokoxx
Mikey,
New cartoons of you all, in my blog! Take a look, if you get the time!
Thanks! Have a great day! :D
Cheers,
-L-
Thanks! I'll try to splash some colour (and ink) on some of them and repost 'em!
I feel famous! Thanks! :P

A *very* useless fact I found on something I bought for my cat today... it is illegal in the state of Illinois for cats to smoke cigars! I'm baffled... because this means somewhere in Illinois there is a cat smoking cigars who's persuaded the law courts to ban it.
Would love to hear 'Feel my Heat'-maybe everyone cold join in on the do do do do do part!
Sittin on the job with the cig out the mouth and cockeyed hat is hilarious Mikey!!!
My best friend Charlotte from Denmark dated a Grand Prix driver for a long time. So her speaking about things like her love of the race reminds me of you a bit...it is a fun thought....usless thought/fact for you there hahaha.
Shout out to my daughter Alexis NOT to geting into her Mummy's lipstick anymore. and tell people that there is a chat that takes place during the show in case anyone wants to join in. Great fun, Rene and Bex special guests as well as you that time.
You are so talented Mikey...play anything. I love it all!!!!
X-Molly
Have fun tonight....

The other Sue or one of the two Sue's.
Hi Mikey, I haven't been around for a few days because I'm just getting back from a little vacation, went to a resort in the desert area of Borrego Springs, CA. I'm exhausted but feeling good. :)
Anyway, if it isn't too late, a useless fact:
Did you know that ants kidnap aphids and keep them as pets?
I'm sure you recall that aphids are those little tiny light green bugs that you see on plants, they are pests.
Apparently they secrete this sweet, sticky substance that ants love! It's like a treat or dessert for them. So the ants will literally kidnap aphids and keep them as pets,
bring them food, and everything! They keep them as pets so that they can get this sweet substance that they love!
And they actually treat the aphids really well, until they die of old age, I guess.The aphid. Isn't that weird?
Ants keep aphids as pets. :) I read it in a book, and later also heard it on
a documentary.It's 100% true! GMASO
if you want! :D
Love to you and Rene,
xoxoLisa
Honestly Mikey...
I use sushi as bait for fishing! But I loooove Teriyaki.
Just bought the latest IPOD Sunday! 30G and handles podcasts. I saved 50 bux every paycheck I had and this was my reward. I wish kids could learn like my father taught me how to save instead of acting like spoiled brats and wanting it NOW!! NOW!! NOW!!
Kick major ass tonight on ITA! Can't make the actual broadcast as I have to work afternoons, but I will catch the loop.
AND NO SMOKING!!! :)
You fixed it Mikey :)
You rocked ITA
greets Elke!

That was a very sweet show. I loved it all.
Pete's right. What he said...
Feel the positive energy and it just ripples through all of us. Look at all the creativity among the bloggers: you inspire us, we inspire you, it's unstoppable.
See you under the ocean next week!
Love, Brina
P.S. "Plasticine" had a real groove today.
Mikey! I am still watching ITA on the loop, but I just saw my shout out! I was so excited! (Really, I squealed!) And I wanted to let you know that I *did* add colour to them, and reposted a few, so you can go take a look..!
Thanks again, and I may comment again once I've finished watching... just couldn't wait to write you about this!
Cheers,
-L-
Ooh, and "Plasticine" was brill! :D
Hola Mikey!!!
Thanks for singing "Plasticine" and "We will fix it", really love them....Thanks for being so nice to all of us...:):)
Love,
Elena
XXXXXX
Thanks for the shout out.
Loved your Dvd at the end! All of your music was brilliant!!
Thank you too for the shout out!!
Zoe
I like you in glasses too.
Mikey
Can you do a shout out for Ronzi and Lou from The BB's on next weeks show.. thanks much... Loved your music today
Hi Mikey,
You know that feeling when you're just a small kid, and you want so badly to win a prize, and it goes to another kid instead? Your heart sinks a little, and you wonder how great it would have felt to win. When you played "White Stripes" for me at the end of today's show, I felt like a little kid that had won The Big Prize. It's just a cool feeling; I dunno how else to explain it.
I do love that song. And the video is so serene. The sound of the thunder and/or jets above meshes perfectly with the vibe of it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to play it. Such a beautiful song, it is.
I hope life brings you the rich gifts you bring others.
Much Love,
-Natalie
P.S. - I put up a special thanks to you on the forum.
:-)
:-)
:-)
Hope the sushi went well!! The blue collar look is great. Glad to hear Rene is on the mend. Here is a fun useless fact. Bob Seger once said in the song Against The Wind:
"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"
Have a great weekend
Oh THANK YOU Mikey the shout!!!
I feel special! :)
My daughter says you look like Harry Potter with your glasses...but with the beard, she thought you looked like Johnny Depp. (Not too shabby).
I'm sad that you were nixed on Pigeon, oh well. I wish I could watch podcasts...someday... Plasticine was gorgeous.
Thanks again Mikey!
Take care,
Sue D.
ok nevermind I just saw the podcast...duh!
:)
Thank you for the shout out Mikey! Very sweet! i think the chat was sweet to mention for me. We had a blast as usual! just caught the loop and enjoyed the show greatly.
Your youngest fan knows ALL the words to your Tourist song which I think I have worn out from playing. So HELLO from Alexis my daughter!
XX-Molly
Mikey,
When are you and I going to talk fishing?
Possibly your only fan in Wisconsin USA,
pat
Thank you for my shout!
We Will Fix It, rocked....you are always so brilliant!
I loved seeing the White Stripes video, so cool to see it again.
Take Care Mikey and my best to RENE, who I hope is all better by now!
Susie
Thank's everyone, I had a great time on the show last night, I hope I got all the shout's, and didn't miss anyone out.
I've just got back home, feeling pretty tired after the journey, but I'll try and blog later, thank's again everyone, you are all star's.
Take care all,
mikey
Mikey,
Forgot to mention; "We Will Fix It" was fab, as well. SUPER even. :D
And how's this for a useless fact?:
Studies have shown that people eat at a slower pace if there is slow music playing.
Fancy that! Be on the look out for more cartoons for next week! :D
Cheers,
-L-
Thanks for the Shout Out Mikey,
My feed was caca yesterday, but just caught the loop. The show just keeps getting better.
Hey Mikey, thank you so much for such an excellent show yesterday. The only thing bad for me was that I had to watch it from work and no loop when I got home. Hopefully it can loop through tomorrow because they're taking me out to dinner tonight. Thanks for taking the time to do shout outs. Plasticine was sounding excellent. I can't wait till VH1 or MTV pours money into a for-TV show with you all, and you become even more famous.
Hey Mikey...
Miss the razor this week??
:)
So I am still new to this whole blogging but is there anyway to shoot stuff back and forth between bloggers outside of a particular blog?
By the way Mikey, I think the version of "Misery" with you and Simon is superb. Has there been talk of releasing a CD of "In the Attic" music? I really enjoy the laid back feel of everything. We will have to talk carp later.
Thank's everyone, I got to see the loop today, sorry if other people missed it, but it was really nice to catch it, normally I don't get to see it. It was a great show, and I was happy with what I done, my glasses were falling off when I played 'We will fix it', it really put me off, but they were fine in 'Plasticine', I suppose I've played it more often, and don't need to look down as much.
Thank's for all the shout's, keep enjoying the loop, take care all.
mikey
