	🥁 ♥ 7:25pm listener james from westwood: I was a kid during the disco era, so I grew up on Houston's wonderful version. But it wasn't until I began listening to FMU that I heard Melvin's original. It absolutely lifted the top off my head.
	🥁 ♥ 7:26pm Funky16Corners: Hey Geezerette!
	🥁 ♥ 7:26pm Funky16Corners: @James - Yeah, it's a game changer
	7:27pm geezerette: :)
	♥ 7:34pm northguineahills: I didn't get into my disco until my roommate, who until then was just into indie rock, and was just getting into experimental and pop electronica, suddenly went whole hog into disco and started djing it everywhere (he was the only one doing it down here at the time) in '98.
	🥁 ♥ 7:35pm Funky16Corners: There's so much good music if you ignore all the garbage like Ethel Merman and Disco Lucy and the like
	♥ 7:38pm northguineahills: huh, my bluetooth earbuds listening via my phone sound better then my iPhone earbuds plugged into my work computer (phone is dying)
	🥁 ♥ 7:39pm Funky16Corners: I haven't tried Bluetooth buds/phones yet. Both my sons use them.
	♥ 7:41pm northguineahills: was going to get proper bluetooth tortoise shells, but, b/tn my Miami trip, speeding ticket, fixing my car's A/C, and getting new tires, that may have to wait until Labor day (sat on my old dj pair of headphones I had for 15 years).
	🥁 ♥ 7:42pm Funky16Corners: Losing a good pair of DJ headphones sucks.
	♥ 7:47pm northguineahills: my boss cut me a 4m switch of bamboo for me my ever growing tomato vine, probably need one for my squash and sweet potatoes as well). Now to figure how to get it into my car,,,,,,
	♥ 7:47pm chresti: Heylo!
	🥁 ♥ 7:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey Chresti!
	🥁 ♥ 7:48pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - That's a LOT of bamboo!
	♥ 7:57pm northguineahills: my tomato plant is already 3m, and my trellis is too small. (in NYC, they rarely got to .5m)
	♥ 7:57pm northguineahills: Dug that muscle shoals horns....
	🥁 ♥ 7:59pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, great UK only 45
	🥁 ♥ 8:00pm Funky16Corners: I wish I had the inclination to grow anything (other than WEARY). My son is growing jalapenos, though!
	♥ 8:04pm northguineahills: I have jalapenos, habaneros, ghost peppers, and carolina reapers.....
	🥁 ♥ 8:05pm Funky16Corners: MMMMMMMMM (ouch)
	8:07pm geezerette: Happy Happy Happy
	🥁 ♥ 8:08pm Funky16Corners: The sound of Nigeria!
	8:09pm geezerette: ...oh, and thumbs up for peppers.
	🥁 ♥ 8:16pm Funky16Corners: Now, on to Cameroon
	8:18pm geezerette: Strong, positive music.
	🥁 ♥ 8:19pm Funky16Corners: That's what we need right now
	8:21pm geezerette: Ha, I was being discreet.
	8:21pm geezerette: Freedom sounds like this.
	🥁 ♥ 8:22pm Funky16Corners: As it should!
	♥ 8:25pm northguineahills: got the bamboo in my car. it was a bit of over 5m just measured it, I used a cinder block as a fulcrum to help me bend it in half. alone at the office chair dancing!
	🥁 ♥ 8:32pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from Wisconsin!
	🥁 ♥ 8:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey Jeff!
	🥁 ♥ 8:33pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - I'm dancing here at the controls!
	♥ 8:33pm northguineahills: music, wfmu, and the WC, are the only thing keeping me sane right now...
	🥁 ♥ 8:34pm Funky16Corners: I feel you man. I'm teetering right on the razor's edge today
	♥ 8:42pm northguineahills: Anything Parliament- related gets auto-clicky-starred. /hyphens, I got them!
	🥁 ♥ 8:42pm Funky16Corners: Can't not dance to this one!
	♥ 8:49pm northguineahills: JBs be JBeezing... (instantly recognizable sound...)
	🥁 ♥ 8:50pm Funky16Corners: Indeed. Some night I'm going to have to dig deep into the JBs crate. So much good stuff.
	♥ 8:54pm northguineahills: Why don't I have this Brick 45?
	♥ 8:55pm northguineahills: Oh, wait, I think I have it on cd comp somewhere....
	🥁 ♥ 8:55pm Funky16Corners: It should be a pretty easy pull
	🥁 ♥ 8:55pm Funky16Corners: Oopsy
	♥ 9:03pm northguineahills: ok, heading home, hear ya at home!
	♥ 9:05pm northguineahills: (it's been verboten for me to buy physically musical media unless it's wfmu or a live show for the last 8 years [ran out of room])
	🥁 ♥ 9:06pm Funky16Corners: Safe travels NGH!
	9:21pm still b/p: Freak Your Boom Boom is a nice recommendation/invitation to receive upon arrival.Bring in the funk, bring in the joyz.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey SBP!
	🥁 ♥ 9:24pm Jeff Ash: This is a nice one.
	🥁 ♥ 9:25pm Funky16Corners: Thanks!
	♥ 9:25pm coelacanth∅: greetings Larry and all
	🥁 ♥ 9:25pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	♥ 9:29pm chresti: like that swirly flourish on chic
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm Funky16Corners: Great, great record!
	♥ 9:30pm chresti: Hi coei!
	♥ 9:31pm JtotheK: hi Larry, hi everyone! digging the tunes.
	♥ 9:31pm northguineahills: Ripping apart the bamboo at home, when I realized I had limb trimmers
	♥ 9:33pm chresti: got a bamboo workout
	♥ 9:36pm coelacanth∅: hey chresti!
	♥ 9:36pm chresti: or, freak your bamboo NGH
	9:38pm still b/p: Handled and hauled a lotta living and dead bamboo in the past month.
	♥ 9:39pm JtotheK: @ngh - just like andy williams and earl grant - the house of bamboo!
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey JtotheK!
	♥ 9:40pm JtotheK: missed Duane's show today, saw he played a track from the other Doc Buzz LP -- gonna have to pull those out for a listen, been a while. great records.
	♥ 9:41pm chresti: the voice reminds me of Horace Andy a little bit
	🥁 ♥ 9:41pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed. Great songwriting, vocals and production
	🥁 ♥ 9:43pm Funky16Corners: @Chresti - On the Dr Buzzard song?
	♥ 9:44pm chresti: Yes, a similar quality
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm Funky16Corners: I'm doing a ska/reggae show on 7/11. I'll def play something by him.
	♥ 9:48pm chresti: yay
	♥ 9:51pm northguineahills: @chresti y Jtothe y still b/p:ok, done, all saturated by sweat, forgot how tough it is. (I sort of hope some it grows, so I can have living trellises for my vines).
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm Funky16Corners: I wish I had bamboo growing in our back yard
	♥ 9:53pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Larry! Enjoying the show from the safety of my bed today. Keep on keepin' on!
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco!
	9:54pm still b/p: We called it rhubarb when we were kids and whack-attacked armies of it with sticks.
	♥ 9:54pm Parq: What the Hey? Well, I see I've got a lot of archive listening to do.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, five hour marathon tonight!
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: Larry many people have bamboo growing in their yards who wish they didn't. it can be very invasive in this country (probably depending on the variety) so careful what you wish for.
	♥ 9:58pm Parq: < a la Spazz's drop-in > Why don't some people tell me these things??
	🥁 ♥ 10:01pm Funky16Corners: @C - I love the way it looks, and it would probably piss off my asshole neighbor while simultaneously making his house disappear.
	♥ 10:02pm Franco Twinkie: Bamboo! Ugh! Attacked the runners with an ax. Didn't do any good - shit came right back.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: If it got out of control I'd just bring in some pandas.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: They're cheap and plentiful, right?
	♥ 10:04pm coelacanth∅: Larry it's beautiful for sure...as is japanese knotweed. actually i routinely try to destroy lots of very beautiful plants. asiatic bittersweet is another; and wysteria; and "tree of heaven" (which is really a tree to hell) etc etc
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Funky16Corners: I'm a fan of some things most people hate, i.e. dandelions, clover, sweetpea vines
	♥ 10:05pm northguineahills: For our controlled field sites, we use bamboo as water breaks to keep floating aquatic vegetation from blowing to one side of our berms. My boss has a stand he keeps on chopping down for use at work, planting, or for material. We uproot them before the dry season so they don't spread (they don't spread too well in standing water).
	♥ 10:09pm coelacanth∅: you could keep bamboo under control to some degree by burying a barrier around it on all sides - no splits or holes; metal; strong,thick plastic or concrete... i'm not sure how deep to go. not as deep as with knotweed i know that.
	10:10pm still b/p: I had a nice potted Japanese arrow bamboo plant years ago but neglected to pull it indoors before a freeze. I would place clusters of that if I was to design a yard and patio space.
	♥ 10:10pm northguineahills: we have infestation of knotweed at some of our sites. Bamboo and knotweed are also both edible.
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: I had to look knotweed up. I recognize it.
	♥ 10:12pm coelacanth∅: i don't make an effort to kill dandelions, and i plant lots and lots of clover. those are invasive but nowhere near at the level of these other plants.
	♥ 10:13pm coelacanth∅: (really clover's not much more invasive than grass, by my experience)
	♥ 10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Our bamboo problem is at the back of our property and I simply let our tenant deal with it. He's young and works in a nursery, so it's just like been at work for him.
	♥ 10:15pm northguineahills: I have no lawn, just a garden, natural wildflowers, and otherwise natural undergrowth and trees, (no mowing or monoculture).
	♥ 10:15pm coelacanth∅: knotweed's apparently helpful to treat lyme disease. i haven't tried it, aside from frequent physical contact with it.
	♥ 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Do you have lyme disease?
	♥ 10:20pm coelacanth∅: Franco -probably. tests come back "inconclusive"; in other words some strains say negative and some say "not negative - at risk". i've pulled deer ticks out of my body several times but never noticed a bruise. (i also don't bruise that easily) i have all the symptoms but those symptoms are shared by many ailments.
	10:20pm still b/p: Embedded (but not engorged) tick count for the season: 1 deer tick, 1 wood tick. That's way ahead of any other year in memory.
	♥ 10:23pm coelacanth∅: i haven't found any yet this year, and i've been either up to my hips in grass or over my head in brush, shrubs and trees a lot since april. Lucky so far.
	🥁 ♥ 10:24pm Funky16Corners: We had to tell our sons to stay off the wooded paths this summer. They started coming home with ticks, nothing embedded thankfully
	♥ 10:25pm Franco Twinkie: I've read about it, for sure, but never actually talked to anyone who has it. I remember reading a piece in the New Yorker about John Lurie who suffers from it. He made it sound horrible.
	♥ 10:26pm northguineahills: Thankfully lyme disease is rarely found this far south. Bu I'm also very keen on trying any edible plants I come across. (although many require much blanching or other preperation). Palmettos are everywhere here, just cut the stalks open and they taste like watercress/celery, no prep needed....
	♥ 10:26pm northguineahills: Since I was a kid, I was taught that if I got a tick, to take a knife, put it over a flame, and dig it out....
	♥ 10:27pm Franco Twinkie: I've never had a tick. Leeches,yes.
	♥ 10:31pm northguineahills: @Franco: I've had both... Going for a walk, will probably be back at the end to get ready to hit the hay....
	10:33pm chresti: I had a tick on my head and I got it off before it attached
	10:35pm chresti: Lizards help abate ticks in Griffith Park
	10:35pm still b/p: Tick awareness and reflexive helpfulness are certainly heightened. Where I was clearing bamboo, I got at least three or four "check" advisories from restaurant workers out by the back door for their smoke and lunch breaks.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35pm doctorjazz: Hi all, forgot it was a marathon show, some archive listening to do.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:37pm chresti: One year there were thousands on the trails- a hiker said you could see them jumping
	♥ 10:38pm Franco Twinkie: For me, I'm not sure what is worst, the prospect of parasites on a stroll through the woods or driving across town in afternoon traffic.
	10:40pm still b/p: Ticks or dicks....choose your encounter.
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: Sound like the bushes at Griffith Park!
	♥ 10:41pm coelacanth∅: Franco having a parasite exploit you, whether it's a tick or a politician, is a terrible feeling.
	🥁 ♥ 10:43pm Jeff Ash: These last three songs, I recognize each about six notes in.
	🥁 ♥ 10:44pm Funky16Corners: This one you may recognize later into the song (extended mix)
	♥ 10:45pm coelacanth∅: i once went hiking (somewhere in nj) and each of us (4 people) removed lots & lots of ticks. i remember counting close to 70 on myself - a few that i didn't find until getting home. nobody had any embed yet before being found and removed.
	♥ 10:46pm coelacanth∅: ngh - lyme,ct (where it was invented) is pretty far from florida; but there's nothing stopping it. just a matter of time.
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm Funky16Corners: I think Lyme ticks will reach FLA just as fire ants reach NJ
	♥ 10:49pm coelacanth∅: right, and stinkbugs and brown recluse spiders have made their way to upstate ny. they acclimate
	10:50pm chresti: Yikes C- I can’t remember if it was spring or fall- it was hot and hot and dry most of that year
	♥ 10:51pm coelacanth∅: (maybe we'll end up with a kudzu problem here one day too)
	♥ 10:51pm coelacanth∅: chresti did you risk it? and did you get them on you?
	10:52pm still b/p: Red rover, red rover, send bug plagues right over!
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Funky16Corners: GAHHHHDDDD I hate stinkbugs.
	10:54pm chresti: No. I stayed clear of the brush My parents place had brushy areas where the pets would pick them up
	10:55pm chresti: They are in the foothills of east Sf bay
	♥ 10:56pm Franco Twinkie: In the late summer, when the stream beds run slow in the San Gabriel mountains, there is always at least one case of Bubonic plague. Lot's of people can't help themselves and stick there face in the water.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Funky16Corners: At this point I'd welcome a massive plague that targets stupid people, or at least makes them smarter
	11:02pm chresti: At work, I put in a work order for more lizards when pests are a problem
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm Funky16Corners: Then the lizards get out of control and you have to bring in eagles, then then eagles freak out and you have to get bears, and then tigers and on and on until the place is a shambles.
	♥ 11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, The brown recluse was introduced to this continent in the 1960's just at few miles from here. There was this hippie store in Sierra Madre that was importing, get this, bamboo floor mats from Asia. Guess what came along for the ride? In the park they have a bronze statue of a big spider! Also, they have the worlds largest Wisteria.
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Funky16Corners: Invasive species are incredibly interesting (if also incredibly troublesome)
	11:10pm Dean: Been listening off and on all night. Wish this were a regular gig. Where in Sierra Madre was the former hippie store? I love that story!
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dean!
	♥ 11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Had to be on Baldwin Ave. in that little strip of shops way above Foothill.
	11:14pm Dean: Buddy of mine lives on Orange Grove, I think, not far.
	11:16pm Dean: Used to be a "hippie store" (we called it a head shop) across the street from my junior high school in Whittier, Hair Boutique, c.'73. I got a real kick out of it.
	11:16pm chresti: Funky- there are hawks on patrol-there have been incidents with little dogs getting snatched but usually they go for rabbits and blonde pony tails
	11:17pm Dean: Not far from there in '78 I started work at a record store where the manager played disco incessantly. I fucking hated it, except for Giorgio Moroder's contributions. By now I've adjusted to, for instance, the Bee Gees.
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Funky16Corners: @Chresti - We just had a neighborhod hysteria (on the NextDoor board) about hawks that could supposedly carry off fairly large dogs. People had to have it explained to them that most of the hawks around here weigh less than 6 pounds and while they may kill a bird or squirrel or two, your puppies are safe.
	♥ 11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Oh, Hey Dean. Gotta tell you. last night had a chile colorado burrito from this place in East Pasadena that was inedible. Nuclear waste disguised as food. But I was hungry, man! I ate it anyway with no ill effects.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Funky16Corners: That said, we had one kill a mourning dove out in front of our house. It looked like the dove exploded
	11:23pm Dean: I miss LA nuclear waste Mexican fare, FT. I was in town two or three weeks ago to attend a buddy's birthday party in Arcadia at Villa Catrina. It was great, but I spent most of my time visiting with folks. Would love to know where the killer chile colorado burrito was served. Wait...was it Colorado Blvd.?
	11:25pm Dean: I'm noticing that comment boards in general, but this show in particular, tend to prompt discussion of good local food.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm Jeff Ash: The great Dennis Coffey originally co-produced this group.
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Yes indeed. Great album, too.
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Jeff Ash: I haven't picked it up, perhaps fearing I will be that guy, the Dennis Coffey completist.
	11:27pm chresti: Yeah , the tiny chihuahuas and poodles are prey for red tail hawks and coyotes here. I’ve seen a coyote carrying a cat on the street in LA before-
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Funky16Corners: You could do a lot worse than finding all the records Coffey worked on
	11:27pm chresti: @funky Larry
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Funky16Corners: @Chresti - coyotes are starting to show up around here
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm Jeff Ash: Oh, I know. I already have a bunch of his records.
	♥ 11:29pm Franco Twinkie: You got it! Super Burrito - just west of Rosemead Blvd. Actually, I really like the place, most things are good in that greasy-good kinda way. I just decided to try something new instead of the same old, same old, and lost. No biggie! I'll be back there next week.
	🥁 ♥ 11:29pm Funky16Corners: Jeff, were you listening the night I played the Del Shannon record co-written by Coffey?
	11:30pm Dean: Just realized, FT, that you wrote "inedible," when I read, "incredible." You meant nuclear waste quite literally. Accordingly, would love to know what to avoid!
	♥ 11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Word.
	11:31pm Dean: Rosemead makes me think of Bahuka, no longer there, I believe.
	11:32pm Dean: Eh, Bahooka.
	♥ 11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, It's gone. Now it's some sort of buffet. Haven't been inside. Still looks pretty damn crazy from the outside.
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Jeff Ash: Checking it out now. Don't think I caught that show. Nice!
	11:34pm Dean: Bahooka was a hoot. As was Kelbo's in Hollywood. Heard NON at the latter. One amazing evening.
	♥ 11:35pm northguineahills: Got back in time!
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm Jeff Ash: Larry, have a good evening. Enjoyed this! Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Of course! Non and Monitor really did a special twist on the tiki thing. We went to a reunion type deal of those folks last year downtown L.A.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm doctorjazz: Love this version of If You could Read My Mind, Great!
	11:39pm Dean: Seriously?! Heard Monitor, too, and Nervous Gender at Al's Bar, where I used to do homework.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	♥ 11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Yup, all those band. Usta go to Al's all the time.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Funky16Corners: There's a weird remake of it on the '54' soundtrack. I don't know if they couldn't get the rights or something.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm doctorjazz: Reading a depressing report by Elizabeth Warren on her visit to the refugee "detention centers", more accurately known as cages. Man......
	11:43pm Dean: I left LA in 2001. Al's shut down shortly thereafter. I haven't gotten over it. Al's was my home venue.
	♥ 11:43pm northguineahills: @coel: The tick species that carry lyme here in FL, are very rare, and don't survive very well (for reasons I've yet to to research), so, until they evolve, (the bacteria or the tick, I'm mostly safe for now).
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm doctorjazz: Donna!!!!! Going out with a bang!
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Funky16Corners: One more important one after this, then nighty nite
	♥ 11:46pm Franco Twinkie: You can't imagine what it's like down there now. But, The Box, which is across the street is still carrying the torch when you need to have that type of friction.
	11:46pm chresti: No auto tune needed with Donna!
	♥ 11:47pm northguineahills: Moroder en el casa!
	11:47pm geezerette: Larry, this list will be playing again while we bbq on the fourth. Hey Dean,Coel,Chresti,NGH,FT,Jeff,Doc & anyone I missed; g'night!
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening Geezerette!
	11:48pm Dean: No, I know what's going on. Pisses me off. Do you remember the airplane hanging from the wall outside Al's?
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm doctorjazz: Night, Geezerette!
	♥ 11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Yes! I could tell you some stories...but not here.
	🥁 ♥ 11:51pm doctorjazz: The beginning of the end for live musicians (at least the need for as many).
	♥ 11:51pm northguineahills: errr.., la casa. hablo espanol como un gringo...
	11:51pm Dean: A story: on my marriage day, my wife and I headed to Al's and hung out with friends for the evening. This was post-airplane, 2000.
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - The first time Brian Eno heard 'I Feel Love' in a club he pegged it as revolutionary
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm doctorjazz: It was!
	11:53pm Dean: Revolutionary? I'm sorry, but Eno needed to get out more often.
	11:53pm chresti: From the age of hi shine lip gloss
	♥ 11:53pm Franco Twinkie: Larry! This show was extra, extra special. Got me back on the good foot. Thanks, bro.
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm Funky16Corners: THIS, this right here, this is the bang!
	♥ 11:53pm northguineahills: Finishing (starting, and everything in b/tn, strong! en fuego!)
	11:53pm Dean: (I'm not an Eno fan.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Franco!
	11:54pm chresti: Geez! Goodnight!
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm Funky16Corners: @DEan - It changed the face of dance music in a big way. Paved the way for High NRG, House and new wave dance.
	♥ 11:56pm northguineahills: Moroder mixing donna, holy scheisser, you should hear the extended mix...
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, danced up a good sweat! Night all!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks NGH!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	♥ 11:56pm northguineahills: Night Larry, geezerette was full of good ideas, good 4th sndtrk material...!!!
	11:57pm Dean: This assumes that the face of dance music is the measure of real change. I don't buy it.
	11:57pm geezerette: I remember that airplane. :) About Al's demise, I've lost a whole ecosystem of galleries and dealers/gallerists that were oases for me too. Know whatcha mean, Dean.
	11:58pm Dean: Doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.
	♥ 11:58pm northguineahills: @Dean:Jaques Attali would beg to answer (Mitterand's economist and cultural theorist).
	11:59pm Dean: I know Noise.
	♥ 12:00am northguineahills: :)
	♥ 12:02am northguineahills: The Crowley extended mix of I Feel Love is amazing
	12:02am still b/p: Had to return to headphones a number of times to enjoy tracks more closely....some of them in that category of "indifferent then, stirring and fun now." Thanks!
	♥ 12:02am northguineahills: errr... Cowley...
	🥁 ♥ 12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks SBP!
	12:02am Dean: This is a viable model: five hours every other hour from each DJ!
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am Funky16Corners: I don't think I could do this every week.
	12:04am Dean: Every other week...
	12:05am chresti: Goodnight every one! Thanks Larry
	🥁 ♥ 12:05am Funky16Corners: Nite Chresti!
	12:05am chresti: Looking forward to7/11

	♥ 9:36pm coelacanth∅: hey chresti!
	♥ 9:36pm chresti: or, freak your bamboo NGH
	9:38pm still b/p: Handled and hauled a lotta living and dead bamboo in the past month.
	♥ 9:39pm JtotheK: @ngh - just like andy williams and earl grant - the house of bamboo!
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm Funky16Corners: Hey JtotheK!
	♥ 9:40pm JtotheK: missed Duane's show today, saw he played a track from the other Doc Buzz LP -- gonna have to pull those out for a listen, been a while. great records.

	♥ 9:44pm chresti: Yes, a similar quality
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm Funky16Corners: I'm doing a ska/reggae show on 7/11. I'll def play something by him.
	♥ 9:48pm chresti: yay
	♥ 9:51pm northguineahills: @chresti y Jtothe y still b/p:ok, done, all saturated by sweat, forgot how tough it is. (I sort of hope some it grows, so I can have living trellises for my vines).
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm Funky16Corners: I wish I had bamboo growing in our back yard
	♥ 9:53pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Larry! Enjoying the show from the safety of my bed today. Keep on keepin' on!
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco!
	9:54pm still b/p: We called it rhubarb when we were kids and whack-attacked armies of it with sticks.
	♥ 9:54pm Parq: What the Hey? Well, I see I've got a lot of archive listening to do.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Funky16Corners: Hey Parq!
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, five hour marathon tonight!
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: Larry many people have bamboo growing in their yards who wish they didn't. it can be very invasive in this country (probably depending on the variety) so careful what you wish for.
	♥ 9:58pm Parq: < a la Spazz's drop-in > Why don't some people tell me these things??
	🥁 ♥ 10:01pm Funky16Corners: @C - I love the way it looks, and it would probably piss off my asshole neighbor while simultaneously making his house disappear.
	♥ 10:02pm Franco Twinkie: Bamboo! Ugh! Attacked the runners with an ax. Didn't do any good - shit came right back.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: If it got out of control I'd just bring in some pandas.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: They're cheap and plentiful, right?
	♥ 10:04pm coelacanth∅: Larry it's beautiful for sure...as is japanese knotweed. actually i routinely try to destroy lots of very beautiful plants. asiatic bittersweet is another; and wysteria; and "tree of heaven" (which is really a tree to hell) etc etc
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Funky16Corners: I'm a fan of some things most people hate, i.e. dandelions, clover, sweetpea vines
	♥ 10:05pm northguineahills: For our controlled field sites, we use bamboo as water breaks to keep floating aquatic vegetation from blowing to one side of our berms. My boss has a stand he keeps on chopping down for use at work, planting, or for material. We uproot them before the dry season so they don't spread (they don't spread too well in standing water).
	♥ 10:09pm coelacanth∅: you could keep bamboo under control to some degree by burying a barrier around it on all sides - no splits or holes; metal; strong,thick plastic or concrete... i'm not sure how deep to go. not as deep as with knotweed i know that.
	10:10pm still b/p: I had a nice potted Japanese arrow bamboo plant years ago but neglected to pull it indoors before a freeze. I would place clusters of that if I was to design a yard and patio space.
	♥ 10:10pm northguineahills: we have infestation of knotweed at some of our sites. Bamboo and knotweed are also both edible.
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: I had to look knotweed up. I recognize it.
	♥ 10:12pm coelacanth∅: i don't make an effort to kill dandelions, and i plant lots and lots of clover. those are invasive but nowhere near at the level of these other plants.
	♥ 10:13pm coelacanth∅: (really clover's not much more invasive than grass, by my experience)
	♥ 10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Our bamboo problem is at the back of our property and I simply let our tenant deal with it. He's young and works in a nursery, so it's just like been at work for him.
	♥ 10:15pm northguineahills: I have no lawn, just a garden, natural wildflowers, and otherwise natural undergrowth and trees, (no mowing or monoculture).
	♥ 10:15pm coelacanth∅: knotweed's apparently helpful to treat lyme disease. i haven't tried it, aside from frequent physical contact with it.
	♥ 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Do you have lyme disease?
	♥ 10:20pm coelacanth∅: Franco -probably. tests come back "inconclusive"; in other words some strains say negative and some say "not negative - at risk". i've pulled deer ticks out of my body several times but never noticed a bruise. (i also don't bruise that easily) i have all the symptoms but those symptoms are shared by many ailments.
	10:20pm still b/p: Embedded (but not engorged) tick count for the season: 1 deer tick, 1 wood tick. That's way ahead of any other year in memory.
	♥ 10:23pm coelacanth∅: i haven't found any yet this year, and i've been either up to my hips in grass or over my head in brush, shrubs and trees a lot since april. Lucky so far.
	🥁 ♥ 10:24pm Funky16Corners: We had to tell our sons to stay off the wooded paths this summer. They started coming home with ticks, nothing embedded thankfully
	♥ 10:25pm Franco Twinkie: I've read about it, for sure, but never actually talked to anyone who has it. I remember reading a piece in the New Yorker about John Lurie who suffers from it. He made it sound horrible.
	♥ 10:26pm northguineahills: Thankfully lyme disease is rarely found this far south. Bu I'm also very keen on trying any edible plants I come across. (although many require much blanching or other preperation). Palmettos are everywhere here, just cut the stalks open and they taste like watercress/celery, no prep needed....
	♥ 10:26pm northguineahills: Since I was a kid, I was taught that if I got a tick, to take a knife, put it over a flame, and dig it out....
	♥ 10:27pm Franco Twinkie: I've never had a tick. Leeches,yes.
	♥ 10:31pm northguineahills: @Franco: I've had both... Going for a walk, will probably be back at the end to get ready to hit the hay....
	10:33pm chresti: I had a tick on my head and I got it off before it attached
	10:35pm chresti: Lizards help abate ticks in Griffith Park
	10:35pm still b/p: Tick awareness and reflexive helpfulness are certainly heightened. Where I was clearing bamboo, I got at least three or four "check" advisories from restaurant workers out by the back door for their smoke and lunch breaks.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35pm doctorjazz: Hi all, forgot it was a marathon show, some archive listening to do.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:37pm chresti: One year there were thousands on the trails- a hiker said you could see them jumping
	♥ 10:38pm Franco Twinkie: For me, I'm not sure what is worst, the prospect of parasites on a stroll through the woods or driving across town in afternoon traffic.
	10:40pm still b/p: Ticks or dicks....choose your encounter.
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: Sound like the bushes at Griffith Park!
	♥ 10:41pm coelacanth∅: Franco having a parasite exploit you, whether it's a tick or a politician, is a terrible feeling.
	🥁 ♥ 10:43pm Jeff Ash: These last three songs, I recognize each about six notes in.
	🥁 ♥ 10:44pm Funky16Corners: This one you may recognize later into the song (extended mix)
	♥ 10:45pm coelacanth∅: i once went hiking (somewhere in nj) and each of us (4 people) removed lots & lots of ticks. i remember counting close to 70 on myself - a few that i didn't find until getting home. nobody had any embed yet before being found and removed.
	♥ 10:46pm coelacanth∅: ngh - lyme,ct (where it was invented) is pretty far from florida; but there's nothing stopping it. just a matter of time.
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm Funky16Corners: I think Lyme ticks will reach FLA just as fire ants reach NJ
	♥ 10:49pm coelacanth∅: right, and stinkbugs and brown recluse spiders have made their way to upstate ny. they acclimate
	10:50pm chresti: Yikes C- I can’t remember if it was spring or fall- it was hot and hot and dry most of that year
	♥ 10:51pm coelacanth∅: (maybe we'll end up with a kudzu problem here one day too)
	♥ 10:51pm coelacanth∅: chresti did you risk it? and did you get them on you?
	10:52pm still b/p: Red rover, red rover, send bug plagues right over!
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Funky16Corners: GAHHHHDDDD I hate stinkbugs.
	10:54pm chresti: No. I stayed clear of the brush My parents place had brushy areas where the pets would pick them up
	10:55pm chresti: They are in the foothills of east Sf bay
	♥ 10:56pm Franco Twinkie: In the late summer, when the stream beds run slow in the San Gabriel mountains, there is always at least one case of Bubonic plague. Lot's of people can't help themselves and stick there face in the water.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Funky16Corners: At this point I'd welcome a massive plague that targets stupid people, or at least makes them smarter
	11:02pm chresti: At work, I put in a work order for more lizards when pests are a problem
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm Funky16Corners: Then the lizards get out of control and you have to bring in eagles, then then eagles freak out and you have to get bears, and then tigers and on and on until the place is a shambles.
	♥ 11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, The brown recluse was introduced to this continent in the 1960's just at few miles from here. There was this hippie store in Sierra Madre that was importing, get this, bamboo floor mats from Asia. Guess what came along for the ride? In the park they have a bronze statue of a big spider! Also, they have the worlds largest Wisteria.
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Funky16Corners: Invasive species are incredibly interesting (if also incredibly troublesome)
	11:10pm Dean: Been listening off and on all night. Wish this were a regular gig. Where in Sierra Madre was the former hippie store? I love that story!
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm Funky16Corners: Hey Dean!
	♥ 11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Had to be on Baldwin Ave. in that little strip of shops way above Foothill.
	11:14pm Dean: Buddy of mine lives on Orange Grove, I think, not far.
	11:16pm Dean: Used to be a "hippie store" (we called it a head shop) across the street from my junior high school in Whittier, Hair Boutique, c.'73. I got a real kick out of it.
	11:16pm chresti: Funky- there are hawks on patrol-there have been incidents with little dogs getting snatched but usually they go for rabbits and blonde pony tails
	11:17pm Dean: Not far from there in '78 I started work at a record store where the manager played disco incessantly. I fucking hated it, except for Giorgio Moroder's contributions. By now I've adjusted to, for instance, the Bee Gees.
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Funky16Corners: @Chresti - We just had a neighborhod hysteria (on the NextDoor board) about hawks that could supposedly carry off fairly large dogs. People had to have it explained to them that most of the hawks around here weigh less than 6 pounds and while they may kill a bird or squirrel or two, your puppies are safe.
	♥ 11:20pm Franco Twinkie: Oh, Hey Dean. Gotta tell you. last night had a chile colorado burrito from this place in East Pasadena that was inedible. Nuclear waste disguised as food. But I was hungry, man! I ate it anyway with no ill effects.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Funky16Corners: That said, we had one kill a mourning dove out in front of our house. It looked like the dove exploded
	11:23pm Dean: I miss LA nuclear waste Mexican fare, FT. I was in town two or three weeks ago to attend a buddy's birthday party in Arcadia at Villa Catrina. It was great, but I spent most of my time visiting with folks. Would love to know where the killer chile colorado burrito was served. Wait...was it Colorado Blvd.?
	11:25pm Dean: I'm noticing that comment boards in general, but this show in particular, tend to prompt discussion of good local food.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm Jeff Ash: The great Dennis Coffey originally co-produced this group.
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm Funky16Corners: @Jeff - Yes indeed. Great album, too.
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Jeff Ash: I haven't picked it up, perhaps fearing I will be that guy, the Dennis Coffey completist.
	11:27pm chresti: Yeah , the tiny chihuahuas and poodles are prey for red tail hawks and coyotes here. I’ve seen a coyote carrying a cat on the street in LA before-
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Funky16Corners: You could do a lot worse than finding all the records Coffey worked on
	11:27pm chresti: @funky Larry
	🥁 ♥ 11:27pm Funky16Corners: @Chresti - coyotes are starting to show up around here
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm Jeff Ash: Oh, I know. I already have a bunch of his records.
	♥ 11:29pm Franco Twinkie: You got it! Super Burrito - just west of Rosemead Blvd. Actually, I really like the place, most things are good in that greasy-good kinda way. I just decided to try something new instead of the same old, same old, and lost. No biggie! I'll be back there next week.
	🥁 ♥ 11:29pm Funky16Corners: Jeff, were you listening the night I played the Del Shannon record co-written by Coffey?
	11:30pm Dean: Just realized, FT, that you wrote "inedible," when I read, "incredible." You meant nuclear waste quite literally. Accordingly, would love to know what to avoid!
	♥ 11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Word.
	11:31pm Dean: Rosemead makes me think of Bahuka, no longer there, I believe.
	11:32pm Dean: Eh, Bahooka.
	♥ 11:33pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, It's gone. Now it's some sort of buffet. Haven't been inside. Still looks pretty damn crazy from the outside.
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Jeff Ash: Checking it out now. Don't think I caught that show. Nice!
	11:34pm Dean: Bahooka was a hoot. As was Kelbo's in Hollywood. Heard NON at the latter. One amazing evening.
	♥ 11:35pm northguineahills: Got back in time!
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm Jeff Ash: Larry, have a good evening. Enjoyed this! Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	♥ 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Of course! Non and Monitor really did a special twist on the tiki thing. We went to a reunion type deal of those folks last year downtown L.A.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm doctorjazz: Love this version of If You could Read My Mind, Great!
	11:39pm Dean: Seriously?! Heard Monitor, too, and Nervous Gender at Al's Bar, where I used to do homework.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	♥ 11:41pm Franco Twinkie: Yup, all those band. Usta go to Al's all the time.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Funky16Corners: There's a weird remake of it on the '54' soundtrack. I don't know if they couldn't get the rights or something.
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm doctorjazz: Reading a depressing report by Elizabeth Warren on her visit to the refugee "detention centers", more accurately known as cages. Man......
	11:43pm Dean: I left LA in 2001. Al's shut down shortly thereafter. I haven't gotten over it. Al's was my home venue.
	♥ 11:43pm northguineahills: @coel: The tick species that carry lyme here in FL, are very rare, and don't survive very well (for reasons I've yet to to research), so, until they evolve, (the bacteria or the tick, I'm mostly safe for now).
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm doctorjazz: Donna!!!!! Going out with a bang!
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Funky16Corners: One more important one after this, then nighty nite
	♥ 11:46pm Franco Twinkie: You can't imagine what it's like down there now. But, The Box, which is across the street is still carrying the torch when you need to have that type of friction.
	11:46pm chresti: No auto tune needed with Donna!
	♥ 11:47pm northguineahills: Moroder en el casa!
	11:47pm geezerette: Larry, this list will be playing again while we bbq on the fourth. Hey Dean,Coel,Chresti,NGH,FT,Jeff,Doc & anyone I missed; g'night!
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening Geezerette!
	11:48pm Dean: No, I know what's going on. Pisses me off. Do you remember the airplane hanging from the wall outside Al's?
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm doctorjazz: Night, Geezerette!
	♥ 11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Yes! I could tell you some stories...but not here.
	🥁 ♥ 11:51pm doctorjazz: The beginning of the end for live musicians (at least the need for as many).
	♥ 11:51pm northguineahills: errr.., la casa. hablo espanol como un gringo...
	11:51pm Dean: A story: on my marriage day, my wife and I headed to Al's and hung out with friends for the evening. This was post-airplane, 2000.
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - The first time Brian Eno heard 'I Feel Love' in a club he pegged it as revolutionary
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm doctorjazz: It was!
	11:53pm Dean: Revolutionary? I'm sorry, but Eno needed to get out more often.
	11:53pm chresti: From the age of hi shine lip gloss
	♥ 11:53pm Franco Twinkie: Larry! This show was extra, extra special. Got me back on the good foot. Thanks, bro.
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm Funky16Corners: THIS, this right here, this is the bang!
	♥ 11:53pm northguineahills: Finishing (starting, and everything in b/tn, strong! en fuego!)
	11:53pm Dean: (I'm not an Eno fan.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Franco!
	11:54pm chresti: Geez! Goodnight!
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm Funky16Corners: @DEan - It changed the face of dance music in a big way. Paved the way for High NRG, House and new wave dance.
	♥ 11:56pm northguineahills: Moroder mixing donna, holy scheisser, you should hear the extended mix...
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, danced up a good sweat! Night all!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks NGH!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Doc!
	♥ 11:56pm northguineahills: Night Larry, geezerette was full of good ideas, good 4th sndtrk material...!!!
	11:57pm Dean: This assumes that the face of dance music is the measure of real change. I don't buy it.
	11:57pm geezerette: I remember that airplane. :) About Al's demise, I've lost a whole ecosystem of galleries and dealers/gallerists that were oases for me too. Know whatcha mean, Dean.
	11:58pm Dean: Doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.
	♥ 11:58pm northguineahills: @Dean:Jaques Attali would beg to answer (Mitterand's economist and cultural theorist).
	11:59pm Dean: I know Noise.
	♥ 12:00am northguineahills: :)
	♥ 12:02am northguineahills: The Crowley extended mix of I Feel Love is amazing
	12:02am still b/p: Had to return to headphones a number of times to enjoy tracks more closely....some of them in that category of "indifferent then, stirring and fun now." Thanks!
	♥ 12:02am northguineahills: errr... Cowley...
	🥁 ♥ 12:02am Funky16Corners: Thanks SBP!
	12:02am Dean: This is a viable model: five hours every other hour from each DJ!
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am Funky16Corners: I don't think I could do this every week.
	12:04am Dean: Every other week...
	12:05am chresti: Goodnight every one! Thanks Larry
	🥁 ♥ 12:05am Funky16Corners: Nite Chresti!
