You guy's can tell the Brecker boy's songs apart? They all sound the same to me. "Bread and Butter", "Under The Milky Way"? I'm guessing this one has a theme? Not up there with my "Mad Cow Radio", but related.

I was talking to the Widder Fansome about the Milkmen just the other day. One of You Know Who's favorite bands. Steve Miller with "Space Cowboy". He's from Texas, he knows cows.

No "Milk Cow Blues" yet? Bob Wills And His Texas Playboy's did a great version of it. Mooo!

I tuned in to gwen stefani, and the first thing I thought of was milkshake or dairy theme.  I don't know why...

A little noisy here in the hills of WV, But S9 signal.  Storms somewhere...

Thanks for another show!

Just about even with my S7 noise floor here.  Hard to copy but occasionally rising to readable levels.  However, I enjoyed the live stream at ballsmacker.net and got this SSTV image.
