	♥ 9:05pm TomDash: hmmm...maybe I'll throw in some Santana?
	♥ 9:05pm prof.fuzz: holding steady at 104F in dallas right now.
	9:05pm Elvin: One of the greatest songs ever. Long live Steve Marriott!
	♥ 9:06pm Brainiac from Neuron 3: I crewed a Santana concert @ the Ford Amphitheater back in 2006. I was asked to be a cable pager for the pit cameraman during the show. The cameraman told me to follow him up on the stage for the first song as he took an audience shot, then we jumped back down into the pit. He told me to sit on the back of the barricade until the last song where we'll jump back up. I got to watch the show 10 feet in front of Carlos & Chester Thompson. Melted my face and I got paid. Good times. Samba Pa Ti was awesome!
	9:07pm PuraVida: @Brainiac from Neuron 3 good work!
	♥ 9:08pm steveo: Say there hey there great to be listening
	9:09pm PuraVida: Saw Roger McGuinn in a small theater on the lower wast side of Manhattan in 2008. His wife was uttering positive words of encouragement into his earpiece the entire show due to Roger's stagefright. I was sitting front row center & one of the stagehands told me pre-show
	♥ 9:16pm slugluv1313: awww, NICO 💜🐶💜 greetings, Tom! Dashers! hoping everyone is staying cool! and hydrated!
	♥ 9:17pm ultradamno: Is this a post-goth libertarian manifesto?
	♥ 9:21pm luka: sun be gone, rejoice
	9:22pm Robm: @Slugluv staying in the ac as much as possible
	♥ 9:26pm HyperDose: crank that ac y'all
	9:27pm Robm: @Hyperdose just did and getting nasty looks from the neighbors
	9:29pm timinoak: Oh Hell Yeah Dash
	♥ 9:35pm prof.fuzz: FLIPPER!!! thanks tom!
	9:35pm Bill C: Good evening Tom. The show sounds great. What is that signature music you use when you start to speak that is synth?
	♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: This song is a Ted (Falconi) Talk
	♥ 9:37pm McGroovey: Well, it's not Brainwash, but I've listened to that enough time already in my life. I have Gone Fishin', and I should really listen to it.
	♥ 9:37pm Handy Haversack: TomDash and all the Dippin' Dots! So glad to be here! Sounding great.
	♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: It could be nastier sounding, but it's a good record.
	♥ 9:38pm prof.fuzz: hey hyperD! ultraD! mcG! handyH!slug! puraV! and of course, tomD!
	♥ 9:38pm McGroovey: Does Watt play out of tune on purpose when he pays these songs?
	♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: It almost seemed commercial at the time, which listening to this sounds insane, but there you go... Hiya prof!
	♥ 9:39pm prof.fuzz: flipper usually cleaned up a bit in the studio, but this is still a pretty wild record.
	♥ 9:39pm ultradamno: Under The Big Black Sun was called a sellout back then too though...perspective of time
	♥ 9:39pm McGroovey: That is to say, if Watt doesn't play out of tune, it might not quite sound like Flipper.
	♥ 9:40pm ultradamno: Watt seems like he wouldn't be so fastidious that he couldn't get into the spirit of the thing...
	♥ 9:41pm Destroit: Hi everyone. Glad to be here.
	♥ 9:41pm JB: Door dashing to Tom Dash. The sweet sounds make this enjoyable
	♥ 9:41pm prof.fuzz: watt got loose for the stooges, he can get looser for flipper.
	♥ 9:42pm TomDash: hey y'all - thanks for palying along at home...see? I played Flipper! Bill C- bed music is my buddy Benzoil - you can check out his cassette at Fuzzy Warbles Cassettes (his label too)
	♥ 9:44pm ultradamno: themutantssf.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 9:52pm Handy Haversack: And am I wrong that Todd interviewed someone form the Mutants on Sat.? I think I am not: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:55pm ultradamno: Didn't even know about that one, I just caught up with that Anthony Moore interview with The Mittleman wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:00pm Scott67: G'day Tom, Nico & Dashing! 🍻🤙😎👣🐶🐾🐾☀️🌏🌻
	♥ 10:02pm Handy Haversack: Scotty! G'day, cobber!
	♥ 10:03pm Scott67: G'day Handiest of Mans!🍻🤙😎💨🥃
	♥ 10:03pm Stevel: UD: I listened to the Flipper show from '84 that you shared last week. Pretty cool and much as expected!
	♥ 10:03pm Will a Sound Guy: Hi TomDash and all!!!
	♥ 10:03pm Handy Haversack: Any chance you can make it to Mama Tried tomorrow, TomDash?
	♥ 10:04pm prof.fuzz: This BPeople track is a blast from the past! similar vibe to Wounds from SF.
	♥ 10:06pm ultradamno: Needs to be more Wounds stuff available, also Pre Fix and Arkansaw Man...
	♥ 10:07pm ultradamno: An Object is a highlight of Red Spot
	♥ 10:08pm prof.fuzz: agreed, ultraD. i'd be all over a reissue of that Wounds 12"
	♥ 10:11pm ultradamno: @Steve Cool. I remember sitting next to...I'm guessing a manager or somebody with them who was pretty nice. I yelled for Brainwash and he said "they won't do it" well, I didn't really think they would, it was kind of a trolling request, but we had a nice talk. I'm still not sure if Dead Boy is a song or an improvised outburst.
	♥ 10:12pm prof.fuzz: Doh! just checked the tracklist for Let Them Eat Jellybeans and realized that BPeople were right before Wounds on side two. No wonder my brain made that connection again.
	♥ 10:13pm ultradamno: For some reason I always connect them (Wounds) to Sleepers
	♥ 10:13pm Scott67: I like it!
	♥ 10:13pm prof.fuzz: legit
	♥ 10:14pm ultradamno: Though one of them was in No Alternative, a band I would never think of connecting to them
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hullo ! Enjoying the Set.
	♥ 10:21pm ultradamno: Speaking of The Who twitter.com...
	♥ 10:21pm Stevel: Punk friends in Madison talked of a Chicago Flipper gig where someone asked for Sex Bomb, and they responded by clearing the club within minutes with noise. Not sure if it was legend or an eye-witness account, but it was awesome.
	♥ 10:24pm ultradamno: That sounds familiar...I remember hearing of a show where they just started screaming "GO HOME WE'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY ANYMORE"....maybe the same show...
	10:24pm SamTheRam: last week
	♥ 10:24pm prof.fuzz: The TOPT Mutants interview was last Saturday
	10:25pm wearpants: Speaking of bands of last week, I saw Anteloper at a DIY punk space in Pittsburgh after hearing them on your show. So awesome
	♥ 10:25pm TomDash: HA! That's why I don't see it! (egg on face...)
	♥ 10:29pm Stevel: UD: At the end of a really great Replacements show in '83-is, Madison, the band received a strong ovation at the end of the set. As Paul Westerberg was walking by the main mike, heading for the wings, some even shouted 'encore, encore!" "Puh-leeeze" he spat into the mike, and kept moving. I laughed so hard! One definer of 'punk' is doing things on your own terms, no matter the cost. Obviously, Flipper is the patron saint of that shit.
	♥ 10:30pm TomDash: nice @wearpants! I love Jaimie Branch! Anteloper is playing here next week, but i think it is tomorrow...and I'm working...
	♥ 10:35pm McGroovey: @Stevel My college friends and I used to use Sex Bomb (well, the whole Generic album) to clear the annoying people out of our parties.
	♥ 10:36pm McGroovey: Or maybe we were the annoying people, and we were getting rid of the normal people by playing Flipper. Whatever. Same thing.
	♥ 10:37pm prof.fuzz: @mcG: then the only ones left at the party are the real weirdos...
	♥ 10:38pm Stevel: McGroovey: I did that at parties in Jr. High with Alice Cooper records, but I didn't really understand (or care) that I had broken the vibe. I think Sex Bomb is one of the funniest songs I've ever heard and a perfect sendup of pop music. Fucking hilarious [car engine cranking]
	♥ 10:38pm ultradamno: I have cleared parties with Birthday Party and Foetus but I honestly thought it was fun music for a party
	♥ 10:38pm Stevel: Intentionally annoying was definitely a stance.
	♥ 10:39pm McGroovey: The Flowers of Romance was also a useful room clearer.
	♥ 10:40pm ultradamno: Mission Of Burma used No New York to weed out squares for band member auditions early on...
	♥ 10:42pm McGroovey: Cover band idea: The whole Flowers is Romance album, as Flipper would play it.
	♥ 10:45pm prof.fuzz: i may have mentioned this last week, but last halloween we played a show and did a livestream of flipper covers, all run through our particular blender. if anyone wants to listen, message me through my profile and i'll send a link. we also have three flipper covers on our last two albums (2 on 1, and 1 on another).
	10:49pm wearpants: @TomDash the start time of her set was so late, like 1130, b/c 20 something year old punks booked the show? I don’t know, it was well past my bedtime to begin with but totally worth it I was a wreck the next day though.
	♥ 10:51pm Stevel: prof.fuzz: I think I messaged you. Possibly. Technology, amirite?
	♥ 10:55pm prof.fuzz: @Stevel: received and accepted. you should get a message back with my email.
	♥ 10:56pm Stevel: Thank you sir!
	♥ 11:01pm prof.fuzz: @SteveL: Incoming! @mcG: Incoming!
	♥ 11:07pm McGroovey: I guess I saw Jamie Branch opening for Yo La Tengo? Great band! I went right downstairs and bought the double live CD.
	♥ 11:10pm ultradamno: Double Soultraintion, they call that
	11:13pm ?: Does anyone know why The DJ after this show (Small Change) always plays the same sound effect during the songs?
	♥ 11:18pm TomDash: Hey folks, sorry been a little quiet...this is one of the shows that is coming together song-by-song! ha...thanks for hanging, as always!
	11:20pm TroyD8: Really enjoying the show tonight!
	♥ 11:23pm McGroovey: I actually listen to Small Change up to the moment when he plays that sound effect the first time. Then I turn it off. It annoys me. He plays great music, though.
	♥ 11:24pm ultradamno: I don't know what you guys are talking about but I'm guessing it's no social media airhorn!
	11:25pm ?: He does play great stuff but the sound effects ruin it for me. Just wondering if it is a underground thing or what.
	11:27pm ?: Some sort of air horn.
	11:32pm David Watts: hey! cool show! a new Wednesday night tradition. thanks for playing new tunes
	♥ 11:36pm McGroovey: It's sort of a seventies disco sound effect. A boy air-horny, but higher-pitched. I think it's in at least one Tom Tom Club song, and maybe some Grandmaster Flash songs and things like that from the early eighties and probably later seventies. He plays it during songs, at inappropriate (to my ears) moments.
	♥ 11:37pm McGroovey: *A bit air-horny...
	♥ 11:44pm McGroovey: I just listened to The Message (Grandmaster Flash), and that sound effect is repeated all the way through it, though it's not very high on the mix --at least on the version I listened to.
	♥ 11:45pm McGroovey: (With apologies to Santana that i was listening to Genius of Love and The Jungle instead)
	♥ 11:45pm ultradamno: I have no complaints about any part of The Message
	♥ 11:46pm McGroovey: No, it's appropriate in The Message, but not so much when dropped into the middle of, say, any random song.
	11:47pm ?: Thanks for the explanation McGroovey!
	♥ 11:47pm McGroovey: I meant that i was listening to Genius of Love and The Message (of course).
	♥ 11:49pm McGroovey: "Inappropriate" in this context means "annoying to me, in my opinion", not "just totally morally wrong wrong wrong and it should be illegal!!!!".
	♥ 11:51pm TomDash: alright folks...wrapping up, thanks as awlays for hanging!
	11:51pm prof.fuzz: Thanks Tom!
	♥ 11:56pm Scott67: Thanks Tom! Been listening with eyes closed on my convalescent couch, with a dose of Bronchitis. Your Show has been good medicine mate> ✌️😎🤙🎶💻☀️🌏🌻
	♥ 11:56pm McGroovey: Great music tonight, as ever.
	♥ 11:56pm slugluv1313: most excellent show, Tom -- thanks so much! please cuddle NICO for me 💖💖 stay cool, everyone!
	11:58pm TroyD8: Great show! 🙏
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ TD ~
	12:00am ?: Thanks Tom and everybody!

	♥ 9:05pm TomDash: hmmm...maybe I'll throw in some Santana?
	♥ 9:05pm prof.fuzz: holding steady at 104F in dallas right now.
	9:05pm Elvin: One of the greatest songs ever. Long live Steve Marriott!
	♥ 9:06pm Brainiac from Neuron 3: I crewed a Santana concert @ the Ford Amphitheater back in 2006. I was asked to be a cable pager for the pit cameraman during the show. The cameraman told me to follow him up on the stage for the first song as he took an audience shot, then we jumped back down into the pit. He told me to sit on the back of the barricade until the last song where we'll jump back up. I got to watch the show 10 feet in front of Carlos & Chester Thompson. Melted my face and I got paid. Good times. Samba Pa Ti was awesome!
	9:07pm PuraVida: @Brainiac from Neuron 3 good work!
	♥ 9:08pm steveo: Say there hey there great to be listening
	9:09pm PuraVida: Saw Roger McGuinn in a small theater on the lower wast side of Manhattan in 2008. His wife was uttering positive words of encouragement into his earpiece the entire show due to Roger's stagefright. I was sitting front row center & one of the stagehands told me pre-show
	♥ 9:16pm slugluv1313: awww, NICO 💜🐶💜 greetings, Tom! Dashers! hoping everyone is staying cool! and hydrated!
	♥ 9:17pm ultradamno: Is this a post-goth libertarian manifesto?
	♥ 9:21pm luka: sun be gone, rejoice
	9:22pm Robm: @Slugluv staying in the ac as much as possible
	♥ 9:26pm HyperDose: crank that ac y'all
	9:27pm Robm: @Hyperdose just did and getting nasty looks from the neighbors
	9:29pm timinoak: Oh Hell Yeah Dash
	♥ 9:35pm prof.fuzz: FLIPPER!!! thanks tom!
	9:35pm Bill C: Good evening Tom. The show sounds great. What is that signature music you use when you start to speak that is synth?
	♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: This song is a Ted (Falconi) Talk
	♥ 9:37pm McGroovey: Well, it's not Brainwash, but I've listened to that enough time already in my life. I have Gone Fishin', and I should really listen to it.
	♥ 9:37pm Handy Haversack: TomDash and all the Dippin' Dots! So glad to be here! Sounding great.
	♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: It could be nastier sounding, but it's a good record.
	♥ 9:38pm prof.fuzz: hey hyperD! ultraD! mcG! handyH!slug! puraV! and of course, tomD!
	♥ 9:38pm McGroovey: Does Watt play out of tune on purpose when he pays these songs?
	♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: It almost seemed commercial at the time, which listening to this sounds insane, but there you go... Hiya prof!
	♥ 9:39pm prof.fuzz: flipper usually cleaned up a bit in the studio, but this is still a pretty wild record.
	♥ 9:39pm ultradamno: Under The Big Black Sun was called a sellout back then too though...perspective of time
	♥ 9:39pm McGroovey: That is to say, if Watt doesn't play out of tune, it might not quite sound like Flipper.
	♥ 9:40pm ultradamno: Watt seems like he wouldn't be so fastidious that he couldn't get into the spirit of the thing...
	♥ 9:41pm Destroit: Hi everyone. Glad to be here.
	♥ 9:41pm JB: Door dashing to Tom Dash. The sweet sounds make this enjoyable
	♥ 9:41pm prof.fuzz: watt got loose for the stooges, he can get looser for flipper.
	♥ 9:42pm TomDash: hey y'all - thanks for palying along at home...see? I played Flipper! Bill C- bed music is my buddy Benzoil - you can check out his cassette at Fuzzy Warbles Cassettes (his label too)
	♥ 9:44pm ultradamno: themutantssf.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 9:52pm Handy Haversack: And am I wrong that Todd interviewed someone form the Mutants on Sat.? I think I am not: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:55pm ultradamno: Didn't even know about that one, I just caught up with that Anthony Moore interview with The Mittleman wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:00pm Scott67: G'day Tom, Nico & Dashing! 🍻🤙😎👣🐶🐾🐾☀️🌏🌻
	♥ 10:02pm Handy Haversack: Scotty! G'day, cobber!
	♥ 10:03pm Scott67: G'day Handiest of Mans!🍻🤙😎💨🥃
	♥ 10:03pm Stevel: UD: I listened to the Flipper show from '84 that you shared last week. Pretty cool and much as expected!
	♥ 10:03pm Will a Sound Guy: Hi TomDash and all!!!
	♥ 10:03pm Handy Haversack: Any chance you can make it to Mama Tried tomorrow, TomDash?
	♥ 10:04pm prof.fuzz: This BPeople track is a blast from the past! similar vibe to Wounds from SF.
	♥ 10:06pm ultradamno: Needs to be more Wounds stuff available, also Pre Fix and Arkansaw Man...
	♥ 10:07pm ultradamno: An Object is a highlight of Red Spot
	♥ 10:08pm prof.fuzz: agreed, ultraD. i'd be all over a reissue of that Wounds 12"
	♥ 10:11pm ultradamno: @Steve Cool. I remember sitting next to...I'm guessing a manager or somebody with them who was pretty nice. I yelled for Brainwash and he said "they won't do it" well, I didn't really think they would, it was kind of a trolling request, but we had a nice talk. I'm still not sure if Dead Boy is a song or an improvised outburst.
	♥ 10:12pm prof.fuzz: Doh! just checked the tracklist for Let Them Eat Jellybeans and realized that BPeople were right before Wounds on side two. No wonder my brain made that connection again.
	♥ 10:13pm ultradamno: For some reason I always connect them (Wounds) to Sleepers
	♥ 10:13pm Scott67: I like it!
	♥ 10:13pm prof.fuzz: legit
	♥ 10:14pm ultradamno: Though one of them was in No Alternative, a band I would never think of connecting to them
	10:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hullo ! Enjoying the Set.
	♥ 10:21pm ultradamno: Speaking of The Who twitter.com...
	♥ 10:21pm Stevel: Punk friends in Madison talked of a Chicago Flipper gig where someone asked for Sex Bomb, and they responded by clearing the club within minutes with noise. Not sure if it was legend or an eye-witness account, but it was awesome.
	♥ 10:24pm ultradamno: That sounds familiar...I remember hearing of a show where they just started screaming "GO HOME WE'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY ANYMORE"....maybe the same show...
	10:24pm SamTheRam: last week
	♥ 10:24pm prof.fuzz: The TOPT Mutants interview was last Saturday
	10:25pm wearpants: Speaking of bands of last week, I saw Anteloper at a DIY punk space in Pittsburgh after hearing them on your show. So awesome
	♥ 10:25pm TomDash: HA! That's why I don't see it! (egg on face...)
	♥ 10:29pm Stevel: UD: At the end of a really great Replacements show in '83-is, Madison, the band received a strong ovation at the end of the set. As Paul Westerberg was walking by the main mike, heading for the wings, some even shouted 'encore, encore!" "Puh-leeeze" he spat into the mike, and kept moving. I laughed so hard! One definer of 'punk' is doing things on your own terms, no matter the cost. Obviously, Flipper is the patron saint of that shit.
	♥ 10:30pm TomDash: nice @wearpants! I love Jaimie Branch! Anteloper is playing here next week, but i think it is tomorrow...and I'm working...
	♥ 10:35pm McGroovey: @Stevel My college friends and I used to use Sex Bomb (well, the whole Generic album) to clear the annoying people out of our parties.
	♥ 10:36pm McGroovey: Or maybe we were the annoying people, and we were getting rid of the normal people by playing Flipper. Whatever. Same thing.
	♥ 10:37pm prof.fuzz: @mcG: then the only ones left at the party are the real weirdos...
	♥ 10:38pm Stevel: McGroovey: I did that at parties in Jr. High with Alice Cooper records, but I didn't really understand (or care) that I had broken the vibe. I think Sex Bomb is one of the funniest songs I've ever heard and a perfect sendup of pop music. Fucking hilarious [car engine cranking]
	♥ 10:38pm ultradamno: I have cleared parties with Birthday Party and Foetus but I honestly thought it was fun music for a party
	♥ 10:38pm Stevel: Intentionally annoying was definitely a stance.
	♥ 10:39pm McGroovey: The Flowers of Romance was also a useful room clearer.
	♥ 10:40pm ultradamno: Mission Of Burma used No New York to weed out squares for band member auditions early on...
	♥ 10:42pm McGroovey: Cover band idea: The whole Flowers is Romance album, as Flipper would play it.
	♥ 10:45pm prof.fuzz: i may have mentioned this last week, but last halloween we played a show and did a livestream of flipper covers, all run through our particular blender. if anyone wants to listen, message me through my profile and i'll send a link. we also have three flipper covers on our last two albums (2 on 1, and 1 on another).
	10:49pm wearpants: @TomDash the start time of her set was so late, like 1130, b/c 20 something year old punks booked the show? I don’t know, it was well past my bedtime to begin with but totally worth it I was a wreck the next day though.
	♥ 10:51pm Stevel: prof.fuzz: I think I messaged you. Possibly. Technology, amirite?
	♥ 10:55pm prof.fuzz: @Stevel: received and accepted. you should get a message back with my email.
	♥ 10:56pm Stevel: Thank you sir!
	♥ 11:01pm prof.fuzz: @SteveL: Incoming! @mcG: Incoming!
	♥ 11:07pm McGroovey: I guess I saw Jamie Branch opening for Yo La Tengo? Great band! I went right downstairs and bought the double live CD.
	♥ 11:10pm ultradamno: Double Soultraintion, they call that
	11:13pm ?: Does anyone know why The DJ after this show (Small Change) always plays the same sound effect during the songs?
	♥ 11:18pm TomDash: Hey folks, sorry been a little quiet...this is one of the shows that is coming together song-by-song! ha...thanks for hanging, as always!
	11:20pm TroyD8: Really enjoying the show tonight!
	♥ 11:23pm McGroovey: I actually listen to Small Change up to the moment when he plays that sound effect the first time. Then I turn it off. It annoys me. He plays great music, though.
	♥ 11:24pm ultradamno: I don't know what you guys are talking about but I'm guessing it's no social media airhorn!
	11:25pm ?: He does play great stuff but the sound effects ruin it for me. Just wondering if it is a underground thing or what.
	11:27pm ?: Some sort of air horn.
	11:32pm David Watts: hey! cool show! a new Wednesday night tradition. thanks for playing new tunes
	♥ 11:36pm McGroovey: It's sort of a seventies disco sound effect. A boy air-horny, but higher-pitched. I think it's in at least one Tom Tom Club song, and maybe some Grandmaster Flash songs and things like that from the early eighties and probably later seventies. He plays it during songs, at inappropriate (to my ears) moments.
	♥ 11:37pm McGroovey: *A bit air-horny...
	♥ 11:44pm McGroovey: I just listened to The Message (Grandmaster Flash), and that sound effect is repeated all the way through it, though it's not very high on the mix --at least on the version I listened to.
	♥ 11:45pm McGroovey: (With apologies to Santana that i was listening to Genius of Love and The Jungle instead)
	♥ 11:45pm ultradamno: I have no complaints about any part of The Message
	♥ 11:46pm McGroovey: No, it's appropriate in The Message, but not so much when dropped into the middle of, say, any random song.
	11:47pm ?: Thanks for the explanation McGroovey!
	♥ 11:47pm McGroovey: I meant that i was listening to Genius of Love and The Message (of course).
	♥ 11:49pm McGroovey: "Inappropriate" in this context means "annoying to me, in my opinion", not "just totally morally wrong wrong wrong and it should be illegal!!!!".
	♥ 11:51pm TomDash: alright folks...wrapping up, thanks as awlays for hanging!
	11:51pm prof.fuzz: Thanks Tom!
	♥ 11:56pm Scott67: Thanks Tom! Been listening with eyes closed on my convalescent couch, with a dose of Bronchitis. Your Show has been good medicine mate> ✌️😎🤙🎶💻☀️🌏🌻
	♥ 11:56pm McGroovey: Great music tonight, as ever.
	♥ 11:56pm slugluv1313: most excellent show, Tom -- thanks so much! please cuddle NICO for me 💖💖 stay cool, everyone!
	11:58pm TroyD8: Great show! 🙏
	11:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ TD ~
	12:00am ?: Thanks Tom and everybody!
