WFMU: The Wiggle Room: Playlist from June 22, 2024

Listener comments!
	♥ 10:51am Krys O.: Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54am postconsumer: Good morning!
	♥ 11:09am Barno in Akron: ↳ Song: "Flowers on the Wall" by "The Statler Brothers" Quentin Tarantino has hijacked my mental imagery behind so many songs - I don't hate it though :) I can't hear this song without thinking of Butch Coolidge singing along in his car.
	♥ 11:09am Krys O.: Hey, Barno!
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am WR: Hi folks, didn't see or hear about yesterday's part 1. Interested to hear part 2.
	🎸 ♥ 11:10am postconsumer: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:09 I always associate it with sitting on the aquamarine carpet in my grandparent's den, in the seventies. mmmmm.... :)
	♥ 11:11am Barno in Akron: ↳ Krys O. @11:09 Hi Krys!! I'm looking forward to the show today!
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am postconsumer: Welcome, Barno, WR and KrysO. Did anyone else watch Northern Exposure in the 90s?
	♥ 11:14am Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @11:13 Yes, I did. It was a very cool show.
	♥ 11:14am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Fool’s Paradise" by "Charles Brown" I adore Charles Brown.
	♥ 11:15am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:10 postconsumer, your avatar looks way too young to be around in the seventies - How do you stay so young? LOL!
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @11:14 It took me by complete surprise, in my teens and twenties. I was used to tv being of no interest. My Dad insisted I watch and when I sincerely enjoyed it, the two of us bonded over the watching of every episode. I thought of him a lot while making this show.
	♥ 11:19am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Simon and Garfunkel" I listened to this album after school in the early 70s. It was my brother's and had to be careful to put it back in the sleeve and the jacket properly or he'd get mad. I sang along even though some of the lyrics went over my young head.
	♥ 11:19am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:13 Yes, I loved the surrealism of it. For me, it was the perfect amount of surrealism - Where Twin Peaks was a little much for my appetite. What strikes me about Northern Exposure, was that cool little radio station. I always admired it and wanted to have one just like it. When I would see empty buildings with large windows facing the sidewalk, I'd think - Man, that would make a great spot for a radio station! Now, thanks to WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room, I have that ground floor radio studio surrounded by windows in my home, like Northern Exposure impressed on me. :)
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am WR: ↳ postconsumer @11:13 nope, I remember the program being highly recommended but didn't watch it. now I understand why the DJ chatter is (despite his saying otherwise) is so well scripted.
	🎸 ♥ 11:20am postconsumer: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:15 The red square there, to the left with eyes and mouth?
	♥ 11:20am Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @11:19 That's a nice memory.
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am postconsumer: ↳ postconsumer @11:20 Barno! That's not really me! 😂
	♥ 11:22am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:20 Yes. I was being silly / making a "Wow, you appear too young to have been around in the 70's" but basing the observation on your avatar - because I don't know what you actually look like - Hahaha
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am WR: You know anything about www.kbhr570.com ?
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am postconsumer: 😂 I just turned 50. I agree about the surrealism. It walked the line on a lot of things like that. In some ways it was a pretty straightforward little tv program. In others, it was a hot mess. And more importantly, it rises above both with its depiction of community, not just tolerance but empathy, and the overarching theme of the power of change. I've been doing a lot of thinking about this. 😂
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am postconsumer: ↳ WR @11:26 I haven''t had a chance to listen yet, but it's popular with folks on the social media groups.
	♥ 11:29am yerfriendpaul: Hey gang! I’m enjoying this very much. I was a big Northern Exposure fan so it’s nice to have Chris the DJ’s bits all in one place
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @11:19 yes, the lyrics, as a kid... I remember puzzling over those, and it may have been one of the first times I experienced the pleasure of loving something I didn't full understand. You know that feeling? You're almost afraid to figure it out or the mystery will be over...
	♥ 11:33am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:21 postconsumer, you'd appreciate an interesting chance encounter Mrs Barno and I had yesterday. We were trying out a new restaurant above a downtown Akron Jazz Club. The club's show was cancelled at the last minute. An elderly man had come for the show, but since it was cancelled he bellied up next to us at the bar, and ordered dinner. He nd I started chatting, it turns out he's from San Francisco - visiting family in Akron over the weekend. After an bit of time chatting over our meals, I ask if he ever listens to KPFA. His eyes lit up and he said, "THAT'S MY FAVORITE RADIO STATION" and explained that he'd been listening to it online since he's out of town. He was thrilled that I knew about it. He went on to explain how diverse the station is - and they play some really weird programs at night. I asked if he was referencing "Over the Edge?" He said, YES! How do you know this?!?! It was funny and special - I thought you'd appreciate it.
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am postconsumer: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:29 hi, yerfriendpaul! thanks for joining us! Yesterday was a four hour program called Cilcelian Four Season and today two new hours
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am WR: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:33 Ha, that's great, Barno.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am postconsumer: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:33 That's awesome. Just out of nowhere like that. ❤️
	♥ 11:37am Barno in Akron: ↳ WR @11:35 It was so cool how a radio station, across the country, could form an instant bond and mutual appreciation between random strangers.
	♥ 11:39am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Mood Indigo" by "Johnny Hodges" This is the stuff right here
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am postconsumer: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:39 It's listed online as a Duke Ellington record, but it appears to be known for Johnny Hodges, specifically?
	♥ 11:41am yerfriendpaul: ↳ postconsumer @11:40 It’s an Ellington tune and I think Hodges is the soloist.
	♥ 11:42am Barno in Akron: @postconsumer - I also want to share a mashup artist I just learned about yesterday on bandcamp, Steven Shilling. His mashups are unique - TV Shows and Musicals mashups + a They Might Be Giants mashup album. Eighty percent of the mashups don't hit with me - but the other twenty percent are pure gold! stevenshilling.bandcamp.com
	♥ 11:43am Barno in Akron: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:42 I'll def be adding some of his mashups into the Cheek in Tongues rotation.
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am postconsumer: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:42 Thanks, I'll check them out! I like the more left field mashup styles
	11:50am TC: Mornin' Jon ... unfortunately spending a few hours working this morning but this programming is making my work gig time abundantly more enjoyable. Appreciate all your hard work coordinating this. Gracias from South Texas!
	♥ 11:51am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Saginaw, Michigan" by "Lefty Frizzell" Just listen to those pretty Anita Kerr Singers backing vocals.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am postconsumer: ↳ TC @11:50 Welcome, TC! It's good work music. Ive been listening to it a lot lately.
	11:58am MarilynH: This is so much fun to listen to!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @11:58 Hi, Marilyn! this is my favorite part... :)
	♥ 12:01pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)" by "T... Living the lyrics
	♥ 12:02pm yerfriendpaul: Loving
	🎸 ♥ 12:03pm postconsumer: ↳ yerfriendpaul @12:01 living AND loving, hopefully. :)
	🎸 ♥ 12:06pm postconsumer: If you weren't here yesterday, this is primarily a mix of music from the series, but I got creative, imagining how to fill the gaps with music I thought Chris would play.
	♥ 12:08pm fred: ↳ postconsumer @12:06 How dare you get creative on a Sheena show! Do you want a show there or something?
	12:09pm MarilynH: I commented before and it disappeared, so I signed up and hope it stays this time! :)
	♥ 12:09pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ postconsumer @12:03 Yes! Makes sense!
	12:09pm Mr Fab: yawn, stretch Good morning, all! Yeah, I didn’t know what “northern exposure“ was, so I started off pretty baffled with yesterday‘s part 1 show. That’s OK, loads of great music.
	12:10pm MarilynH: Mr Fab, you did watch an episode of Northern Exposure?
	12:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ fred @12:08 Hey Fred! Jon does in fact host “The Wiggle Room” once a month. He is indeed a most clever chap.
	12:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ MarilynH @12:10 No, still haven’t seen it.
	♥ 12:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "North to Alaska" by "Johnny Horton" NRBQ used to do this song in their live shows.
	🎸 ♥ 12:11pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:09 Good morning, Mr. Fab! Marilyn, welcome back! Fred, don't believe the h y p e
	12:12pm MarilynH: It's one of the best shows every created! It's addictive!
	🎸 ♥ 12:12pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:12 I've been working on him. I said if he wasn't sure, to start w Spring Break. That was my gateway. 🤣
	🎸 ♥ 12:14pm postconsumer: This is my favorite episode, part 2, because I had a lot more gaps to fill and got to put all these in, which I love from when I was a kid.My grandpa's records fit perfectly on KBHR.
	🎸 ♥ 12:15pm WR: ↳ Song: "Big Bad John" by "Jimmy Dean" Got this 45 when it first came out. Don't remember the circumstances, but listened to it hundreds of time. Mimed it with my brothers.
	🎸 ♥ 12:17pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:15 LOVE IT. My Dad used to make mix tapes of Grandpa's old 78s when we'd go visit, in Dallas.
	🎸 ♥ 12:17pm postconsumer: grew up listening to all of it
	🎸 ♥ 12:18pm WR: Even though I never watched Northern Exposure, my love of creative radio and diverse music makes this very enjoyable. I look forward to also listening to part 1.
	12:19pm MarilynH: I just watched Spring Break last night. It had me laughing through the whole thing pretty much.
	🎸 ♥ 12:20pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @11:31 "pleasure of loving something I didn't fully understand" - one of the great joys of life for some, not for all.
	♥ 12:22pm fred: ↳ Mr Fab @12:11 I know that, my own failure of joking there. I should keep away from such attempts
	🎸 ♥ 12:24pm WR: ↳ fred @12:22 that's ok, Fred, I caught the humor and laughed. Mr. Fab is still waking up.
	12:25pm MarilynH: What is the name of this song that is on right now?? Love it on NX!!
	🎸 ♥ 12:25pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:18 That's the beauty of this series, if I may say so myself. I made it with great respect for the fans (as I am one), and that was especially on my mind for part one, Cicelian Four Seasons, but it's also an exercise in, idk, "meta radio?" 😆, and it was a chance for me to really flex my editing muscle. I'm pleased to note that practically none of the thousands of edits are audible. I really started having fun with this episode. Not just the music, but also crafting what Chris said, and shaping that mood...
	12:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ WR @12:24 Have had no caffeine yet! But Jon is a clever chap, no doubt there.
	🎸 ♥ 12:26pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:25 Enya? Look to left in playlists, for all the info.
	12:27pm MarilynH: I see the title now!
	♥ 12:27pm fred: ↳ WR @12:20 My own greatest joy with contemporary dance, which I will never fully understand, having never danced myself (and with how I think about installing a crane to get out of bed, that seems final)
	🎸 ♥ 12:30pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:27 ❤️ 🫎
	🎸 ♥ 12:30pm WR: ↳ MarilynH @12:19 OK, I see the episode spring break is part of season 2 of Northern Exposure. Requesting the season 2 set from the library.
	🎸 ♥ 12:31pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:30 It's also streaming on Prime now, if you have that available.
	♥ 12:33pm fred: I've been hearing a lot of Enya on the station these days (WFMU "a lot" meaning a few times a week)
	🎸 ♥ 12:33pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @12:31 yes, I do, thanks. And by the way, How did you get the audio for this, from DVD or ?
	🎸 ♥ 12:35pm WR: ↳ WR @12:33 meaning the Chris Stevens clips.
	🎸 ♥ 12:37pm postconsumer: ↳ fred @12:33 Enya seems to be finally turning a corner in that way. they went from unlikely pop stars in the 80s, to being considered kind of "not cool" but still widely popular, of course. I remember being made fun of for liking her, anyway. 😆 And recently I've been seeing comments and even an article or two talking about reevaluation.
	🎸 ♥ 12:37pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:35 That's a trade secret...
	🎸 ♥ 12:37pm postconsumer: It's magic!
	12:38pm West Trenton Vinny: quickly elevating towards sailing away for certain
	🎸 ♥ 12:39pm postconsumer: I own the DVDs, from way back and have been streaming lately.
	🎸 ♥ 12:39pm postconsumer: Hiya West Trenton Vinny! Welcome Fred!
	🎸 ♥ 12:49pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @12:37 👍 Fully appreciate the huge amount of time and thought put into this.
	🎸 ♥ 12:52pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:49 Just recording the breaks alone. I remember that took a couple of days. then you have to listen to everything, over and over and over. There's no skipping that part of the process. You have to imprint all of that audio information ONTO your brain, and then the recombinations start to occur to you...
	♥ 12:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Jon!
	♥ 12:54pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you postconsumer! Enjoyed the show!
	🎸 ♥ 12:55pm postconsumer: Wrapping up soon. Be sure to tune in to the final section this Tuesday evening on The Sheena's Jungle Room stream. It's a worthy conclusion, imo. Tues, 8pm est
	🎸 ♥ 12:55pm postconsumer: thanks everyone for listening and commenting! and thanks much to KrysO for running the board. See you all, Tuesday!
	♥ 12:56pm fred: ↳ Song: "Moon River" by "Louis Armstrong" Kid Koala's mom's fave song (I once saw him do him a mind blowing version)
	🎸 ♥ 12:56pm postconsumer: ↳ fred @12:56 ❤️
	🎸 ♥ 12:57pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @12:55 Will be listening. Loading part 1 into the woof moo app to listen to while doing errands today and in subway so can't hear 'FMU live.
	🎸 ♥ 12:59pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:57 sounds like the perfect application!
	🎸 ♥ 1:04pm WR: Thank you!

	♥ 11:11am Barno in Akron: ↳ Krys O. @11:09 Hi Krys!! I'm looking forward to the show today!
	🎸 ♥ 11:13am postconsumer: Welcome, Barno, WR and KrysO. Did anyone else watch Northern Exposure in the 90s?
	♥ 11:14am Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @11:13 Yes, I did. It was a very cool show.
	♥ 11:14am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Fool’s Paradise" by "Charles Brown" I adore Charles Brown.
	♥ 11:15am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:10 postconsumer, your avatar looks way too young to be around in the seventies - How do you stay so young? LOL!
	🎸 ♥ 11:19am postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @11:14 It took me by complete surprise, in my teens and twenties. I was used to tv being of no interest. My Dad insisted I watch and when I sincerely enjoyed it, the two of us bonded over the watching of every episode. I thought of him a lot while making this show.
	♥ 11:19am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "The Boxer" by "Simon and Garfunkel" I listened to this album after school in the early 70s. It was my brother's and had to be careful to put it back in the sleeve and the jacket properly or he'd get mad. I sang along even though some of the lyrics went over my young head.
	♥ 11:19am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:13 Yes, I loved the surrealism of it. For me, it was the perfect amount of surrealism - Where Twin Peaks was a little much for my appetite. What strikes me about Northern Exposure, was that cool little radio station. I always admired it and wanted to have one just like it. When I would see empty buildings with large windows facing the sidewalk, I'd think - Man, that would make a great spot for a radio station!

	♥ 11:20am Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @11:19 That's a nice memory.
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am postconsumer: ↳ postconsumer @11:20 Barno! That's not really me! 😂
	♥ 11:22am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:20 Yes. I was being silly / making a "Wow, you appear too young to have been around in the 70's" but basing the observation on your avatar - because I don't know what you actually look like - Hahaha
	🎸 ♥ 11:26am WR: You know anything about www.kbhr570.com ?
	🎸 ♥ 11:27am postconsumer: 😂 I just turned 50. I agree about the surrealism. It walked the line on a lot of things like that. In some ways it was a pretty straightforward little tv program. In others, it was a hot mess. And more importantly, it rises above both with its depiction of community, not just tolerance but empathy, and the overarching theme of the power of change. I've been doing a lot of thinking about this. 😂
	🎸 ♥ 11:28am postconsumer: ↳ WR @11:26 I haven''t had a chance to listen yet, but it's popular with folks on the social media groups.
	♥ 11:29am yerfriendpaul: Hey gang! I’m enjoying this very much. I was a big Northern Exposure fan so it’s nice to have Chris the DJ’s bits all in one place
	🎸 ♥ 11:31am postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @11:19 yes, the lyrics, as a kid... I remember puzzling over those, and it may have been one of the first times I experienced the pleasure of loving something I didn't full understand. You know that feeling? You're almost afraid to figure it out or the mystery will be over...
	♥ 11:33am Barno in Akron: ↳ postconsumer @11:21 postconsumer, you'd appreciate an interesting chance encounter Mrs Barno and I had yesterday. We were trying out a new restaurant above a downtown Akron Jazz Club. The club's show was cancelled at the last minute. An elderly man had come for the show, but since it was cancelled he bellied up next to us at the bar, and ordered dinner. He nd I started chatting, it turns out he's from San Francisco - visiting family in Akron over the weekend. After an bit of time chatting over our meals, I ask if he ever listens to KPFA. His eyes lit up and he said, "THAT'S MY FAVORITE RADIO STATION" and explained that he'd been listening to it online since he's out of town. He was thrilled that I knew about it. He went on to explain how diverse the station is - and they play some really weird programs at night. I asked if he was referencing "Over the Edge?" He said, YES! How do you know this?!?! It was funny and special - I thought you'd appreciate it.
	🎸 ♥ 11:33am postconsumer: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:29 hi, yerfriendpaul! thanks for joining us! Yesterday was a four hour program called Cilcelian Four Season and today two new hours
	🎸 ♥ 11:35am WR: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:33 Ha, that's great, Barno.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am postconsumer: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:33 That's awesome. Just out of nowhere like that. ❤️
	♥ 11:37am Barno in Akron: ↳ WR @11:35 It was so cool how a radio station, across the country, could form an instant bond and mutual appreciation between random strangers.
	♥ 11:39am yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Mood Indigo" by "Johnny Hodges" This is the stuff right here
	🎸 ♥ 11:40am postconsumer: ↳ yerfriendpaul @11:39 It's listed online as a Duke Ellington record, but it appears to be known for Johnny Hodges, specifically?
	♥ 11:41am yerfriendpaul: ↳ postconsumer @11:40 It’s an Ellington tune and I think Hodges is the soloist.
	♥ 11:42am Barno in Akron: @postconsumer - I also want to share a mashup artist I just learned about yesterday on bandcamp, Steven Shilling. His mashups are unique - TV Shows and Musicals mashups + a They Might Be Giants mashup album. Eighty percent of the mashups don't hit with me - but the other twenty percent are pure gold! stevenshilling.bandcamp.com
	♥ 11:43am Barno in Akron: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:42 I'll def be adding some of his mashups into the Cheek in Tongues rotation.
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am postconsumer: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:42 Thanks, I'll check them out! I like the more left field mashup styles
	11:50am TC: Mornin' Jon ... unfortunately spending a few hours working this morning but this programming is making my work gig time abundantly more enjoyable. Appreciate all your hard work coordinating this. Gracias from South Texas!
	♥ 11:51am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Saginaw, Michigan" by "Lefty Frizzell" Just listen to those pretty Anita Kerr Singers backing vocals.
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am postconsumer: ↳ TC @11:50 Welcome, TC! It's good work music. Ive been listening to it a lot lately.
	11:58am MarilynH: This is so much fun to listen to!!
	🎸 ♥ 11:59am postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @11:58 Hi, Marilyn! this is my favorite part... :)
	♥ 12:01pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Song: "Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)" by "T... Living the lyrics
	♥ 12:02pm yerfriendpaul: Loving
	🎸 ♥ 12:03pm postconsumer: ↳ yerfriendpaul @12:01 living AND loving, hopefully. :)
	🎸 ♥ 12:06pm postconsumer: If you weren't here yesterday, this is primarily a mix of music from the series, but I got creative, imagining how to fill the gaps with music I thought Chris would play.
	♥ 12:08pm fred: ↳ postconsumer @12:06 How dare you get creative on a Sheena show! Do you want a show there or something?
	12:09pm MarilynH: I commented before and it disappeared, so I signed up and hope it stays this time! :)
	♥ 12:09pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ postconsumer @12:03 Yes! Makes sense!
	12:09pm Mr Fab: yawn, stretch Good morning, all! Yeah, I didn’t know what “northern exposure“ was, so I started off pretty baffled with yesterday‘s part 1 show. That’s OK, loads of great music.
	12:10pm MarilynH: Mr Fab, you did watch an episode of Northern Exposure?
	12:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ fred @12:08 Hey Fred! Jon does in fact host “The Wiggle Room” once a month. He is indeed a most clever chap.
	12:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ MarilynH @12:10 No, still haven’t seen it.
	♥ 12:11pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "North to Alaska" by "Johnny Horton" NRBQ used to do this song in their live shows.
	🎸 ♥ 12:11pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:09 Good morning, Mr. Fab! Marilyn, welcome back! Fred, don't believe the h y p e
	12:12pm MarilynH: It's one of the best shows every created! It's addictive!
	🎸 ♥ 12:12pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:12 I've been working on him. I said if he wasn't sure, to start w Spring Break. That was my gateway. 🤣
	🎸 ♥ 12:14pm postconsumer: This is my favorite episode, part 2, because I had a lot more gaps to fill and got to put all these in, which I love from when I was a kid.My grandpa's records fit perfectly on KBHR.
	🎸 ♥ 12:15pm WR: ↳ Song: "Big Bad John" by "Jimmy Dean" Got this 45 when it first came out. Don't remember the circumstances, but listened to it hundreds of time. Mimed it with my brothers.
	🎸 ♥ 12:17pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:15 LOVE IT. My Dad used to make mix tapes of Grandpa's old 78s when we'd go visit, in Dallas.
	🎸 ♥ 12:17pm postconsumer: grew up listening to all of it
	🎸 ♥ 12:18pm WR: Even though I never watched Northern Exposure, my love of creative radio and diverse music makes this very enjoyable. I look forward to also listening to part 1.
	12:19pm MarilynH: I just watched Spring Break last night. It had me laughing through the whole thing pretty much.
	🎸 ♥ 12:20pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @11:31 "pleasure of loving something I didn't fully understand" - one of the great joys of life for some, not for all.
	♥ 12:22pm fred: ↳ Mr Fab @12:11 I know that, my own failure of joking there. I should keep away from such attempts
	🎸 ♥ 12:24pm WR: ↳ fred @12:22 that's ok, Fred, I caught the humor and laughed. Mr. Fab is still waking up.
	12:25pm MarilynH: What is the name of this song that is on right now?? Love it on NX!!
	🎸 ♥ 12:25pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:18 That's the beauty of this series, if I may say so myself. I made it with great respect for the fans (as I am one), and that was especially on my mind for part one, Cicelian Four Seasons, but it's also an exercise in, idk, "meta radio?" 😆, and it was a chance for me to really flex my editing muscle. I'm pleased to note that practically none of the thousands of edits are audible. I really started having fun with this episode. Not just the music, but also crafting what Chris said, and shaping that mood...
	12:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ WR @12:24 Have had no caffeine yet! But Jon is a clever chap, no doubt there.
	🎸 ♥ 12:26pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:25 Enya? Look to left in playlists, for all the info.
	12:27pm MarilynH: I see the title now!
	♥ 12:27pm fred: ↳ WR @12:20 My own greatest joy with contemporary dance, which I will never fully understand, having never danced myself (and with how I think about installing a crane to get out of bed, that seems final)
	🎸 ♥ 12:30pm postconsumer: ↳ MarilynH @12:27 ❤️ 🫎
	🎸 ♥ 12:30pm WR: ↳ MarilynH @12:19 OK, I see the episode spring break is part of season 2 of Northern Exposure. Requesting the season 2 set from the library.
	🎸 ♥ 12:31pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:30 It's also streaming on Prime now, if you have that available.
	♥ 12:33pm fred: I've been hearing a lot of Enya on the station these days (WFMU "a lot" meaning a few times a week)
	🎸 ♥ 12:33pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @12:31 yes, I do, thanks. And by the way, How did you get the audio for this, from DVD or ?
	🎸 ♥ 12:35pm WR: ↳ WR @12:33 meaning the Chris Stevens clips.
	🎸 ♥ 12:37pm postconsumer: ↳ fred @12:33 Enya seems to be finally turning a corner in that way. they went from unlikely pop stars in the 80s, to being considered kind of "not cool" but still widely popular, of course. I remember being made fun of for liking her, anyway. 😆 And recently I've been seeing comments and even an article or two talking about reevaluation.
	🎸 ♥ 12:37pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:35 That's a trade secret...
	🎸 ♥ 12:37pm postconsumer: It's magic!
	12:38pm West Trenton Vinny: quickly elevating towards sailing away for certain
	🎸 ♥ 12:39pm postconsumer: I own the DVDs, from way back and have been streaming lately.
	🎸 ♥ 12:39pm postconsumer: Hiya West Trenton Vinny! Welcome Fred!
	🎸 ♥ 12:49pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @12:37 👍 Fully appreciate the huge amount of time and thought put into this.
	🎸 ♥ 12:52pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:49 Just recording the breaks alone. I remember that took a couple of days. then you have to listen to everything, over and over and over. There's no skipping that part of the process. You have to imprint all of that audio information ONTO your brain, and then the recombinations start to occur to you...
	♥ 12:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Jon!
	♥ 12:54pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you postconsumer! Enjoyed the show!
	🎸 ♥ 12:55pm postconsumer: Wrapping up soon. Be sure to tune in to the final section this Tuesday evening on The Sheena's Jungle Room stream. It's a worthy conclusion, imo. Tues, 8pm est
	🎸 ♥ 12:55pm postconsumer: thanks everyone for listening and commenting! and thanks much to KrysO for running the board. See you all, Tuesday!
	♥ 12:56pm fred: ↳ Song: "Moon River" by "Louis Armstrong" Kid Koala's mom's fave song (I once saw him do him a mind blowing version)
	🎸 ♥ 12:56pm postconsumer: ↳ fred @12:56 ❤️
	🎸 ♥ 12:57pm WR: ↳ postconsumer @12:55 Will be listening. Loading part 1 into the woof moo app to listen to while doing errands today and in subway so can't hear 'FMU live.
	🎸 ♥ 12:59pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @12:57 sounds like the perfect application!
	🎸 ♥ 1:04pm WR: Thank you!
