	12:12pm jesien: hi my darling.... warsaw feels better now with your music the air
	12:15pm Kurt Gottschalk: hello, jesien! glad you were able to tune in!
	12:15pm crateslinger: could listen to this all day
	12:15pm Kurt Gottschalk: hiya, fred.
	12:21pm Barney Grubbs: Borodin (for whom this quartet is named) was also a pretty famous organic chemist for work the aldol reaction & some other early stuff
	12:21pm JakeGould: Hey Kurt! What’s up?
	12:22pm Kurt Gottschalk: barney, i never knew! heya, jakeg!
	12:27pm Jeff Moore: Thanks for playing this Debussy! It's been so long since I listened to it that I forgot to remember how much I like it.
	12:27pm Kurt Gottschalk: god, it's just so good.
	12:28pm jesien: this debussy is so beautiful, so summer-like...for some strange reason now it feels so much more intense, or this piece specifically, then some other pieces, or what i used to think of him (as light and happy). this G minor quartet is light but also melancholy so it's more. such a nice way to begin the program!
	12:29pm Jeff Moore: What @jesien said.
	12:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Kurt.
	12:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh. I've wanted to check out Julius Eastman's music for awhile and never got around to it. I guess I tuned in at the right time. This is great. Thank you.
	12:33pm Richard Gruesome: This Eastman is amazing
	12:33pm geezerette: Hello, Kurt and everyone. This Kukruz Quartet is wonderful!
	12:35pm geezerette: ...Kukuruz...
	12:36pm jesien: what @Richard said (amazing Eastman!)
	12:37pm Devin B.: Oh yay! Kukuruz Quartet!
	12:39pm fred: Z'EV!
	12:42pm geezerette: :D really can feel it! Hi Fred!
	12:47pm Kurt Gottschalk: thanks for the kind words, everyone. good music is good!
	12:47pm steveo: had to turn this one up to hear it properly
	12:48pm Sandy: music!!!!
	12:51pm Carmichael: Hey Koit and font lovers.
	12:53pm Michael 98145: speaking of Satie, if you ever get a chance to visit Honfleur in Normandy, the Satie Museum is truly wonderful.
	12:53pm crateslinger: Is it crazy that Tanya Tagaq reminds me of Prince? Like, she might lick me or something.
	12:54pm Kurt Gottschalk: michael, i would love to see a satie museum! crates, if that's crazy, everything is.
	12:55pm karlward: This new Toby Keith record sure is weird.
	12:55pm Michael 98145: Maisons Satie: www.musees-honfleur.fr...
	12:56pm crateslinger: somebody should do a mashup
	12:56pm Kurt Gottschalk: & jesien, i miss you. tuesday's not far away at all.
	12:56pm Michael 98145: ... this is great :)
	12:56pm fred: Loving this Tanya Tagaq track
	12:58pm Frankie: Hey Kurt, the great thing about WFMU is to hear music that you never heard before. There is so much out there. Love the show.
	12:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): slow version again!
	12:59pm jesien: i miss you too, kochanie... yes, tuesday is near... (oh and tanya tagaq this time makes me think of shelley harsh... i wonder if she was inspired to some extent)
	12:59pm Carmichael: That sounded more than a little like Diamanda Galas.
	12:59pm steveo: lol @Rob the prophesy has been fulfilled!
	1:00pm jesien: yes, diamanda galas too!
	1:05pm elwyn: hey everyone!
	1:06pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: When I was living in NYC going to Cooper Union I took out a girl on a first date to see Diamonds Galas at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It was 1991. Wow. She insisted on walking out. It was a bit much for me too. i think D. Galas is a witch. I group her with Psychic TV and Fields of The Nephilim as music I will not listen to any more due to their world view.
	1:08pm Devin B.: Might need to get this Angelique Kidjo
	1:08pm JakeGould: I utterly don’t believe anyone—even a fan—would take someone out to see Diamonda Galas on a first date.
	1:08pm mzzmz: Borodin SQ! calling my college days...
	1:09pm Michael 98145: enjoying this version
	1:10pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jake Gould-I was famous for bad decisions in the 90's. Today, the decision seems pretty epic failure. She DID say that opera was an apocalyptic act and I HAVE heard some D Galas from my roommate Egg who seemed to like it, so I said "hey, wanna see this OTHER apocalyptic singer? By NO means was I a fan, I just HEARD of her. Pretty dumb of me, I know.
	1:11pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: It's kinda funny now, 25 years later!
	1:11pm mzzmz: Did ya know? Ms Galas often stop-by at Kim's video. Once I told her my admiration especially to her distinctive piano style. She graciously thanked about it. Really her singing style gets attention but listen her piano. It is one and only a kind....
	1:12pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I have been to a Kim's video on avenue A or 1st ave I think in the 90's. THAT one?
	1:12pm Kurt Gottschalk: wild neil, that concert is so famous! i'm jealous (and also can't believe you took a date).
	1:13pm Kurt Gottschalk: i shoulda been your date.
	1:13pm mzzmz: The 2nd floor one was for Rich Kern.
	1:14pm jesien: we both should have been his date!
	1:14pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Heh. Probably Kurt! I would have gutted it out for you since I believe in sonically challenging myself, even to music I HATE at the time! I think she did the satanic litany, it was some scary shit!
	1:15pm JakeGould: “I was famous for bad decisions in the 90's.” At least that trend has stopped, I assume.
	1:15pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Pani Jesien: Moja żona jest Polka! Moj Po Polsku jest duza Katastrofa!! @Jake-I am on the straight and narrow now, so my decisions are generally better now.
	1:15pm JakeGould: @mzzmz: The second floor of what? Kim’s on St. Marks?
	1:15pm mzzmz: There is wonderful Ms.Galas live at NIGHT MUSIC onYoutube. That one is still my favorite.
	1:16pm Kurt Gottschalk: jesien, yes. wildneil, i believe that concert came up in the nea funding controversies, along with robert mapplethorpe and karen finley, if i recall correctly.
	1:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Wow, and the concert was at a CATHEDRAL. Think about that for a minute.
	1:16pm chris: needed this shiva spear through my ego today, Kurt. thanks! and, hi!
	1:17pm mzzmz: Kim's was 2nd floor on the corner of 1st Ave + St Marks then moved to bath place. Real Kim's culture was the 2nd floor one.
	1:17pm geezerette: Alice Coltrane is exquisite.
	1:18pm jesien: yes it was an american version of current pussy riot affair or something, at least they didn't arrest karen finley, robert m. and her... just took the moneys away from us for a long time : (
	1:19pm jesien: oh Wild Neil - say hi to your wife then! (dzień dobry) for me
	1:19pm mzzmz: But I went Ms Galas at Carnegie on the Halloween night tho.
	1:20pm jesien: oh. my love. you are playing now my ever favorite, Nusret Fateh Ali Khan. i recognize him from the first three notes, like first drops of rain
	1:20pm JakeGould: Well, the NEA controversy also bolstered efforts like Giuliani’ war on night life that basically killed off clubs like the Limelight. Now ever club is someone floating party in a dumpster you only know about by texting someone an hour before it al goes down. It’s all literally an SNL Stefon sketch come to life.
	1:22pm mzzmz: Yes Her St Cathedral concert was midst of AIDS, NEA controversy and, remember?, Mayor Dinkins! I remember seeing the posters at Columbia campus.
	1:22pm northguineahills: Missed Alice due to a meeting! ack!!!!
	1:24pm geezerette: Are you done painting? What a crazy job!
	1:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Kurt and the Kurtish people.
	1:25pm geezerette: Especially loving Khan.
	1:26pm jesien: oh pure ecstatic realm...
	1:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: haha, oh no, "the kurtish people"...
	1:26pm geezerette: Ken FHP, your avatar loves Khan too.
	1:28pm geezerette: Jesien, yes!
	1:29pm JakeGould: Ahhh… The 2nd floor Kim’s that then turned into a GAP? Yeah, that one…
	1:33pm mzzmz: indeed.. tons of obscure bootleg VHS, $$$ Richard Kern videos, LES stuff.
	1:36pm geezerette: this set! :)
	1:36pm Michael 98145: let the raga roll
	1:37pm jesien: yes!
	1:38pm geezerette: Michael, :)
	1:39pm Michael 98145: hey, @gz'ette! used to love, love spending evenings at Indian concerts like this
	1:40pm geezerette: Me too.
	1:44pm Lixiviated Life: Once again...
	1:47pm Lixiviated Life: sorry i'm late. i was busy considering an "incredible offer" but i'm over it now so...
	1:51pm JakeGould: @mzzmz: My biggest memory of that Kim’s video was a friend suggesting we go up there to rent a copy of “Penn and Teller Get Killed” and then remembering we were only teenagers and singing up for video rentals was really like filing a Visa application in some places and then deciding to not to that and just rummage through record and CDs again.
	1:54pm JakeGould: I meaning “signing up.” I wouldn’t sing for a video membership.
	1:55pm kudubundu: This music takes me somewhere else and I love it? St Albans UK
	1:55pm slugluv1313: Good Afternoon, Kurt and everyone! loving the raga . . . @ Michael 98145 -- i used to be able to volunteer at the Chhandayan All-Night concerts -- so wonderfully BLISSFUL! i would have been so totally impressed if someone had taken me to that Diamanda Galas event at St. John's -- but hey, that is just me i met Ms. Galas some years later, when i was working at Tower Books -- i thought she looked familiar, but then finally realized it WAS her when she came up to the register and i saw her hand tattoos . . . and she was so super sweet! shook my hand (as i am thinking -- "wait a minute, YOU are the famous person, i should be shaking YOUR hand!" hah!), was saying how much she liked the store (had had to leave with a friend earlier but then came back), was impressed with the selection, etc. . . . :)
	1:56pm The Oscar: Tuning in late, but GOD I miss Kim's-- it used to be an essential part of any NY visit for me. One of my most cherished finds was a DVD-R containing two of the old FMU "Irritainment" specials, along with Harvey Sid Fisher's "Songs of the Zodiac" and a bunch of other gold. Just about anyone who's been in my apartment more than once in the past dozen years or so has been subjected to some or all of that disc.
	1:59pm Michael 98145: our frequent Indian classical concerts dried up when the audience aged to the point where they couldn't stay up past 9 pm. and the young folks just didn't care enough to attend.
	1:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My ex girlfriend wanted me to rent a dirty movie from Kims so I picked Debbie Does Dallas and she was like, "what the heck is this shit? Let ME pick something out". So she did. Classic!
	1:59pm Michael 98145: wow, thanks, Kurt
	2:00pm JakeGould: To be honest, I have mixed feels about Kim’s since I knew a few people who were screwed over by Kim’s in different ways over the years. I’m generally happier that the Internet exists and lots of obscure stuff is a available for streaming and download much quicker—and sometimes better quality—than scoring some 7th generation VHS dub from Kim’s.
	2:01pm geezerette: Pure bliss,thanks Kurt.
	2:02pm Michael 98145: Yes, Fripp in '86 : www.discogs.com...
	2:02pm Michael 98145: that's okay. it's still morning on the left coast. yes.
	2:03pm Carmichael: Yes, we have another hour of morning.
	2:06pm jesien: its' evening in warsaw !
	2:06pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I saw the Crafty Guitarists back in the 80's, 2 shows in one night. Inevitably during the Q and A session the question came up "When will King Crimson return??".
	2:07pm geezerette: Jesien, what color is the sky?
	2:07pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jesian: my inlaws are visiting Podlaskie right now. There is nothing there yet it is so beautiful.
	2:08pm mzzmz: but sill I have fond memories of 2nd floor Kim's. Do you remember the extremely moldy crusted brown carpet? I was told if you were even on sandal, godforbid bare foot would 100% chance to get hep-B.
	2:08pm Carmichael: Kurt, will you be playing Rudolf Schenker next? :)
	2:09pm northguineahills: Can't wait until I leave work, hopefully it's earlier when I left at 11:30 last night (or 3am Sunday night)
	2:09pm Michael 98145: yikes, @ngh
	2:10pm JakeGould: @mzzmz: I don’t remember the carpet. Just the smell. I think the first comment I made was about the carpet. We left their and found even the basement of Venus records to be less stinky.
	2:11pm SeanG: great show Kurt! :-D
	2:11pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @NGH: my boss values life/work balance and wants me to go home 4pm every week day. I am SO lucky.
	2:12pm JakeGould: The place I really have fond memories of in my earlier media hunting days was Titus Oak’s Records on Avenue U in Brooklyn. Closer to me and tons of great stuff for cheap.
	2:13pm geezerette: ngh, bound to be a temporary situation, the long hours. Your boss ought to paint your house!
	2:13pm jesien: oh i love the transions today, briliant. from debussy and satie to Tanya Tagaq, Nusret Fateh Ali Khan, to Anoushka Shankar .... the air is thickening and everything, even dust, is dancing :)
	2:13pm northguineahills: @Wild Neil/Michael: Usually if I stay late, it's on my own volition, but this week we have our annual content report to the state DEP at the same time we're expanding our office, and we're doing all of work ourselves instead of hiring contractors, so, I feel like I'm doing two work-days each day this week. Should be back to normal by the end of next week.
	2:14pm JakeGould: @jesien: Hopefully not asbestos.
	2:14pm jesien: JakeGould - haha
	2:15pm Michael 98145: Okocim Time
	2:15pm northguineahills: Gato Preto, new to me, nice black cat!
	2:16pm mzzmz: VENUS was another story.
	2:16pm Michael 98145: hard to see against the black background
	2:17pm Michael 98145: wow wow before the boom boom
	2:17pm slugluv1313: @ Michael 98145 -- THAT is a total bummer! there was always a huge mix of young and old at the Chhandayan concerts -- often whole families -- very sweet vibe (have not been able to volunteer in a few years but i do hope to do so again at some point -- miss it so much!)
	2:18pm Michael 98145: yes
	2:18pm V Priceless: been listening...just too nuts to chime in..heya Kurt, peeps!
	2:19pm Kurt Gottschalk: heya, veep!
	2:20pm slugluv1313: @ NGH -- UGH! i have had jobs like that! hope you get to go home SOON @ Wild Neil -- omg that is SO rare! lucky indeed!
	2:21pm Michael 98145: this is destination radio right here
	2:22pm Kurt Gottschalk: aw shux, michael 9 (if i can call you that)
	2:23pm Michael 98145: some people call me worse :)
	2:24pm geezerette: Great party!
	2:25pm Mike Wolf: Let me be the first to say this is a really good radio show.
	2:26pm geezerette: ooh! :)
	2:26pm jesien: yes! @Mike Wolf
	2:28pm Richard Gruesome: Let me be the second to say this is a really good radio show.
	2:28pm Michael 98145: sounds like someone is makin a mess
	2:28pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Może szarolotka drink alkoholowe?
	2:28pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My boss just wants to be a natural healer.
	2:29pm joe mulligan: prince was so prolific and under-marketed that I could probably listen to a lifetime of new music from him posthumously
	2:30pm V Priceless: abowie!
	2:31pm jesien: of course, it had to come to heros now
	2:31pm V Priceless: for the record, I think there was enough Bowie DNA at the DBis exhibit to successfully clone the man, already!
	2:32pm geezerette: Richard Gruesome, love your outrageous Gifs. Bowie follows Prince, ahhhhhh...joy.
	2:33pm mzzmz: Enjoyed reading this era's bassist George Murray interviews on Bassist Magazine.
	2:33pm geezerette: Kurt, wow,wow,wow. :D
	2:33pm northguineahills: Kobo Town, new to me!
	2:34pm mzzmz: said 'The secret Life of Arabia" was favorite on the album.
	2:35pm geezerette: Howdy, Veep!
	2:36pm Michael 98145: nice - kobotown.bandcamp.com...
	2:37pm northguineahills: what joe said!
	2:38pm Richard Gruesome: thanx, geez!
	2:38pm northguineahills: Thanks michael! off to lunch, thanks Kurt!
	2:38pm Michael 98145: "the story of a man paralyzed by his inability to deal with the stress engendered by 24-hour newscasts and constant terror alerts." heh
	2:39pm V Priceless: hey geez!
	2:42pm geezerette: "The End Of The World "in rotation with Tiny Tim's "The Icecaps Are Melting". Music will keep us sane. I really believe that.
	2:49pm Michael 98145: angel didn't want to fall --
	2:51pm jesien: but ikarus did fall....
	2:53pm geezerette: weak wax...
	2:54pm JakeGould: Thanks Kurt!!!
	2:55pm jesien: how beautiful the silences at the very end of the world (unless it's my internet in poland acting out) - loren connor like our ultimate, weird, beautiful guitar-made testament (hopefully someone is doing a recording up there) - haha, yes, weak wax
	2:55pm jesien: this was brilliant yes
	2:56pm V Priceless: thank u, KG!

	12:42pm geezerette: :D really can feel it! Hi Fred!
	12:47pm Kurt Gottschalk: thanks for the kind words, everyone. good music is good!
	12:47pm steveo: had to turn this one up to hear it properly
	12:48pm Sandy: music!!!!
	12:51pm Carmichael: Hey Koit and font lovers.
	12:53pm Michael 98145: speaking of Satie, if you ever get a chance to visit Honfleur in Normandy, the Satie Museum is truly wonderful.
	12:53pm crateslinger: Is it crazy that Tanya Tagaq reminds me of Prince? Like, she might lick me or something.
	12:54pm Kurt Gottschalk: michael, i would love to see a satie museum! crates, if that's crazy, everything is.
	12:55pm karlward: This new Toby Keith record sure is weird.
	12:55pm Michael 98145: Maisons Satie: www.musees-honfleur.fr...
	12:56pm crateslinger: somebody should do a mashup
	12:56pm Kurt Gottschalk: & jesien, i miss you. tuesday's not far away at all.
	12:56pm Michael 98145: ... this is great :)
	12:56pm fred: Loving this Tanya Tagaq track
	12:58pm Frankie: Hey Kurt, the great thing about WFMU is to hear music that you never heard before. There is so much out there. Love the show.
	12:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): slow version again!
	12:59pm jesien: i miss you too, kochanie... yes, tuesday is near... (oh and tanya tagaq this time makes me think of shelley harsh... i wonder if she was inspired to some extent)
	12:59pm Carmichael: That sounded more than a little like Diamanda Galas.
	12:59pm steveo: lol @Rob the prophesy has been fulfilled!
	1:00pm jesien: yes, diamanda galas too!
	1:05pm elwyn: hey everyone!
	1:06pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: When I was living in NYC going to Cooper Union I took out a girl on a first date to see Diamonds Galas at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It was 1991. Wow. She insisted on walking out. It was a bit much for me too. i think D. Galas is a witch. I group her with Psychic TV and Fields of The Nephilim as music I will not listen to any more due to their world view.
	1:08pm Devin B.: Might need to get this Angelique Kidjo
	1:08pm JakeGould: I utterly don’t believe anyone—even a fan—would take someone out to see Diamonda Galas on a first date.
	1:08pm mzzmz: Borodin SQ! calling my college days...
	1:09pm Michael 98145: enjoying this version
	1:10pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jake Gould-I was famous for bad decisions in the 90's. Today, the decision seems pretty epic failure. She DID say that opera was an apocalyptic act and I HAVE heard some D Galas from my roommate Egg who seemed to like it, so I said "hey, wanna see this OTHER apocalyptic singer? By NO means was I a fan, I just HEARD of her. Pretty dumb of me, I know.
	1:11pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: It's kinda funny now, 25 years later!
	1:11pm mzzmz: Did ya know? Ms Galas often stop-by at Kim's video. Once I told her my admiration especially to her distinctive piano style. She graciously thanked about it. Really her singing style gets attention but listen her piano. It is one and only a kind....
	1:12pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I have been to a Kim's video on avenue A or 1st ave I think in the 90's. THAT one?
	1:12pm Kurt Gottschalk: wild neil, that concert is so famous! i'm jealous (and also can't believe you took a date).
	1:13pm Kurt Gottschalk: i shoulda been your date.
	1:13pm mzzmz: The 2nd floor one was for Rich Kern.
	1:14pm jesien: we both should have been his date!
	1:14pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Heh. Probably Kurt! I would have gutted it out for you since I believe in sonically challenging myself, even to music I HATE at the time! I think she did the satanic litany, it was some scary shit!
	1:15pm JakeGould: “I was famous for bad decisions in the 90's.” At least that trend has stopped, I assume.
	1:15pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Pani Jesien: Moja żona jest Polka! Moj Po Polsku jest duza Katastrofa!! @Jake-I am on the straight and narrow now, so my decisions are generally better now.
	1:15pm JakeGould: @mzzmz: The second floor of what? Kim’s on St. Marks?
	1:15pm mzzmz: There is wonderful Ms.Galas live at NIGHT MUSIC onYoutube. That one is still my favorite.
	1:16pm Kurt Gottschalk: jesien, yes. wildneil, i believe that concert came up in the nea funding controversies, along with robert mapplethorpe and karen finley, if i recall correctly.
	1:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Wow, and the concert was at a CATHEDRAL. Think about that for a minute.
	1:16pm chris: needed this shiva spear through my ego today, Kurt. thanks! and, hi!
	1:17pm mzzmz: Kim's was 2nd floor on the corner of 1st Ave + St Marks then moved to bath place. Real Kim's culture was the 2nd floor one.
	1:17pm geezerette: Alice Coltrane is exquisite.
	1:18pm jesien: yes it was an american version of current pussy riot affair or something, at least they didn't arrest karen finley, robert m. and her... just took the moneys away from us for a long time : (
	1:19pm jesien: oh Wild Neil - say hi to your wife then! (dzień dobry) for me
	1:19pm mzzmz: But I went Ms Galas at Carnegie on the Halloween night tho.
	1:20pm jesien: oh. my love. you are playing now my ever favorite, Nusret Fateh Ali Khan. i recognize him from the first three notes, like first drops of rain
	1:20pm JakeGould: Well, the NEA controversy also bolstered efforts like Giuliani’ war on night life that basically killed off clubs like the Limelight. Now ever club is someone floating party in a dumpster you only know about by texting someone an hour before it al goes down. It’s all literally an SNL Stefon sketch come to life.
	1:22pm mzzmz: Yes Her St Cathedral concert was midst of AIDS, NEA controversy and, remember?, Mayor Dinkins! I remember seeing the posters at Columbia campus.
	1:22pm northguineahills: Missed Alice due to a meeting! ack!!!!
	1:24pm geezerette: Are you done painting? What a crazy job!
	1:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Kurt and the Kurtish people.
	1:25pm geezerette: Especially loving Khan.
	1:26pm jesien: oh pure ecstatic realm...
	1:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: haha, oh no, "the kurtish people"...
	1:26pm geezerette: Ken FHP, your avatar loves Khan too.
	1:28pm geezerette: Jesien, yes!
	1:29pm JakeGould: Ahhh… The 2nd floor Kim’s that then turned into a GAP? Yeah, that one…
	1:33pm mzzmz: indeed.. tons of obscure bootleg VHS, $$$ Richard Kern videos, LES stuff.
	1:36pm geezerette: this set! :)
	1:36pm Michael 98145: let the raga roll
	1:37pm jesien: yes!
	1:38pm geezerette: Michael, :)
	1:39pm Michael 98145: hey, @gz'ette! used to love, love spending evenings at Indian concerts like this
	1:40pm geezerette: Me too.
	1:44pm Lixiviated Life: Once again...
	1:47pm Lixiviated Life: sorry i'm late. i was busy considering an "incredible offer" but i'm over it now so...
	1:51pm JakeGould: @mzzmz: My biggest memory of that Kim’s video was a friend suggesting we go up there to rent a copy of “Penn and Teller Get Killed” and then remembering we were only teenagers and singing up for video rentals was really like filing a Visa application in some places and then deciding to not to that and just rummage through record and CDs again.
	1:54pm JakeGould: I meaning “signing up.” I wouldn’t sing for a video membership.
	1:55pm kudubundu: This music takes me somewhere else and I love it? St Albans UK
	1:55pm slugluv1313: Good Afternoon, Kurt and everyone! loving the raga . . . @ Michael 98145 -- i used to be able to volunteer at the Chhandayan All-Night concerts -- so wonderfully BLISSFUL! i would have been so totally impressed if someone had taken me to that Diamanda Galas event at St. John's -- but hey, that is just me i met Ms. Galas some years later, when i was working at Tower Books -- i thought she looked familiar, but then finally realized it WAS her when she came up to the register and i saw her hand tattoos . . . and she was so super sweet! shook my hand (as i am thinking -- "wait a minute, YOU are the famous person, i should be shaking YOUR hand!" hah!), was saying how much she liked the store (had had to leave with a friend earlier but then came back), was impressed with the selection, etc. . . . :)
	1:56pm The Oscar: Tuning in late, but GOD I miss Kim's-- it used to be an essential part of any NY visit for me. One of my most cherished finds was a DVD-R containing two of the old FMU "Irritainment" specials, along with Harvey Sid Fisher's "Songs of the Zodiac" and a bunch of other gold. Just about anyone who's been in my apartment more than once in the past dozen years or so has been subjected to some or all of that disc.
	1:59pm Michael 98145: our frequent Indian classical concerts dried up when the audience aged to the point where they couldn't stay up past 9 pm. and the young folks just didn't care enough to attend.
	1:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My ex girlfriend wanted me to rent a dirty movie from Kims so I picked Debbie Does Dallas and she was like, "what the heck is this shit? Let ME pick something out". So she did. Classic!
	1:59pm Michael 98145: wow, thanks, Kurt
	2:00pm JakeGould: To be honest, I have mixed feels about Kim’s since I knew a few people who were screwed over by Kim’s in different ways over the years. I’m generally happier that the Internet exists and lots of obscure stuff is a available for streaming and download much quicker—and sometimes better quality—than scoring some 7th generation VHS dub from Kim’s.
	2:01pm geezerette: Pure bliss,thanks Kurt.
	2:02pm Michael 98145: Yes, Fripp in '86 : www.discogs.com...
	2:02pm Michael 98145: that's okay. it's still morning on the left coast. yes.
	2:03pm Carmichael: Yes, we have another hour of morning.
	2:06pm jesien: its' evening in warsaw !
	2:06pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I saw the Crafty Guitarists back in the 80's, 2 shows in one night. Inevitably during the Q and A session the question came up "When will King Crimson return??".
	2:07pm geezerette: Jesien, what color is the sky?
	2:07pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Jesian: my inlaws are visiting Podlaskie right now. There is nothing there yet it is so beautiful.
	2:08pm mzzmz: but sill I have fond memories of 2nd floor Kim's. Do you remember the extremely moldy crusted brown carpet? I was told if you were even on sandal, godforbid bare foot would 100% chance to get hep-B.
	2:08pm Carmichael: Kurt, will you be playing Rudolf Schenker next? :)
	2:09pm northguineahills: Can't wait until I leave work, hopefully it's earlier when I left at 11:30 last night (or 3am Sunday night)
	2:09pm Michael 98145: yikes, @ngh
	2:10pm JakeGould: @mzzmz: I don’t remember the carpet. Just the smell. I think the first comment I made was about the carpet. We left their and found even the basement of Venus records to be less stinky.
	2:11pm SeanG: great show Kurt! :-D
	2:11pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @NGH: my boss values life/work balance and wants me to go home 4pm every week day. I am SO lucky.
	2:12pm JakeGould: The place I really have fond memories of in my earlier media hunting days was Titus Oak’s Records on Avenue U in Brooklyn. Closer to me and tons of great stuff for cheap.
	2:13pm geezerette: ngh, bound to be a temporary situation, the long hours. Your boss ought to paint your house!
	2:13pm jesien: oh i love the transions today, briliant. from debussy and satie to Tanya Tagaq, Nusret Fateh Ali Khan, to Anoushka Shankar .... the air is thickening and everything, even dust, is dancing :)
	2:13pm northguineahills: @Wild Neil/Michael: Usually if I stay late, it's on my own volition, but this week we have our annual content report to the state DEP at the same time we're expanding our office, and we're doing all of work ourselves instead of hiring contractors, so, I feel like I'm doing two work-days each day this week. Should be back to normal by the end of next week.
	2:14pm JakeGould: @jesien: Hopefully not asbestos.
	2:14pm jesien: JakeGould - haha
	2:15pm Michael 98145: Okocim Time
	2:15pm northguineahills: Gato Preto, new to me, nice black cat!
	2:16pm mzzmz: VENUS was another story.
	2:16pm Michael 98145: hard to see against the black background
	2:17pm Michael 98145: wow wow before the boom boom
	2:17pm slugluv1313: @ Michael 98145 -- THAT is a total bummer! there was always a huge mix of young and old at the Chhandayan concerts -- often whole families -- very sweet vibe (have not been able to volunteer in a few years but i do hope to do so again at some point -- miss it so much!)
	2:18pm Michael 98145: yes
	2:18pm V Priceless: been listening...just too nuts to chime in..heya Kurt, peeps!
	2:19pm Kurt Gottschalk: heya, veep!
	2:20pm slugluv1313: @ NGH -- UGH! i have had jobs like that! hope you get to go home SOON @ Wild Neil -- omg that is SO rare! lucky indeed!
	2:21pm Michael 98145: this is destination radio right here
	2:22pm Kurt Gottschalk: aw shux, michael 9 (if i can call you that)
	2:23pm Michael 98145: some people call me worse :)
	2:24pm geezerette: Great party!
	2:25pm Mike Wolf: Let me be the first to say this is a really good radio show.
	2:26pm geezerette: ooh! :)
	2:26pm jesien: yes! @Mike Wolf
	2:28pm Richard Gruesome: Let me be the second to say this is a really good radio show.
	2:28pm Michael 98145: sounds like someone is makin a mess
	2:28pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Może szarolotka drink alkoholowe?
	2:28pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My boss just wants to be a natural healer.
	2:29pm joe mulligan: prince was so prolific and under-marketed that I could probably listen to a lifetime of new music from him posthumously
	2:30pm V Priceless: abowie!
	2:31pm jesien: of course, it had to come to heros now
	2:31pm V Priceless: for the record, I think there was enough Bowie DNA at the DBis exhibit to successfully clone the man, already!
	2:32pm geezerette: Richard Gruesome, love your outrageous Gifs. Bowie follows Prince, ahhhhhh...joy.
	2:33pm mzzmz: Enjoyed reading this era's bassist George Murray interviews on Bassist Magazine.
	2:33pm geezerette: Kurt, wow,wow,wow. :D
	2:33pm northguineahills: Kobo Town, new to me!
	2:34pm mzzmz: said 'The secret Life of Arabia" was favorite on the album.
	2:35pm geezerette: Howdy, Veep!
	2:36pm Michael 98145: nice - kobotown.bandcamp.com...
	2:37pm northguineahills: what joe said!
	2:38pm Richard Gruesome: thanx, geez!
	2:38pm northguineahills: Thanks michael! off to lunch, thanks Kurt!
	2:38pm Michael 98145: "the story of a man paralyzed by his inability to deal with the stress engendered by 24-hour newscasts and constant terror alerts." heh
	2:39pm V Priceless: hey geez!
	2:42pm geezerette: "The End Of The World "in rotation with Tiny Tim's "The Icecaps Are Melting". Music will keep us sane. I really believe that.
	2:49pm Michael 98145: angel didn't want to fall --
	2:51pm jesien: but ikarus did fall....
	2:53pm geezerette: weak wax...
	2:54pm JakeGould: Thanks Kurt!!!
	2:55pm jesien: how beautiful the silences at the very end of the world (unless it's my internet in poland acting out) - loren connor like our ultimate, weird, beautiful guitar-made testament (hopefully someone is doing a recording up there) - haha, yes, weak wax
	2:55pm jesien: this was brilliant yes
	2:56pm V Priceless: thank u, KG!
