	Mon. 4/23/12 8:04pm rr in sc: great start as always
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:06pm G: Them's some nice obstinacies
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:08pm ranjit: waaay back in college, back when there was such a thing as a repertory movie theater, the UC Theater put together Koyaanisqatsi, a Colin McPhee documentary, and The Secret Life of Plants (with soundtrack by Stevie Wonder). I think that broke my brain permanently, and now here I am listening to A440!
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:10pm rr in sc: ranjit, sounds cool. Just reminded me of the time I saw Koyaanisqatsi with a live orchestra somewhere in central NJ in the 90s
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:10pm W in NJ: Who's performing?
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:13pm W in NJ: Thanks!
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:13pm gpo: good music for reading becomes more conventional than the previous show 2001-2009
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:14pm Tim: Elvis was born in 1935, quite the year!
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:33pm ranjit: Justin Timberlake and Paris Hilton were born in 1981.
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:34pm G: It's a cultural harmonic convergence then!
	Mon. 4/23/12 8:34pm Joe Mulligan: So rawsome that gamelan influenced minimalism in the 30s Love the freeform history lesson Bethany

	Mon. 4/23/12 8:49pm j4ff: So...I never listened to 'classical' music before Bethany's show, and I think I'm getting a pretty damn good introduction to things they wouldn't play in any other music appreciation course. So, thanks, I appreciate it.
