	12:48am Daya: Hi spodi, Sylvia, NGH, et. al.
	12:48am BH: I think this is the 3rd winter where the stinkbugs made their presence known. I think they sneak down a chimney (the fireplace can't exactly be used here)
	♥ 12:50am spodiodi: aloha, Daya! long time no see! great to see you! how are ya?
	12:51am egould310: @BH Maybe hey don’t sneak down the chimney? Maybe they’re always there? But they don’t always stink.
	12:51am Daya: Yep, been a while…thanks, I am ok, how’s you?!? 😁
	♥ 12:52am HyperDose: Hey Sylvia & Spodi!
	12:54am egould310: Epic opening set.
	12:54am BH: egould: I think they have to go outside for the Spring to lay eggs on something green. But yeah, they only stink if they're threatened
	12:55am Sylvia: Hi Daya, HyperDose, spodiodi!
	♥ 12:56am Roberto: Nailed it, Joolz!
	12:57am egould310: Sounding good
	12:57am phat in Lincoln: Can you take in your own lamps and turn off all the other lights?
	♥ 12:58am spodiodi: good good, Daya! i'm okay too howdy, HyperDose and Sylvia! glad to be hearing you now, Julie
	♥ 12:58am HyperDose: What was that about bass, Julie? I'm telling Handy and he's gonna tell K8!
	1:00am Sylvia: awww :D a cat was meowing at my door, I'm hungry (always a side effect of jetlag with me) and I have to wake up my sons to go to school! (last day before xmas break here)
	1:00am egould310: TMP: Too Many Pedals
	♥ 1:01am Roberto: Sylvia, was it your cat or just some rando cat?
	1:02am Sylvia: one of mine, Roberto! I do sometimes wake up because of other cats outside
	♥ 1:02am Sean from Austin: thanks Julie! <3
	🦇 ♥ 1:02am Julie: hiya Sean!
	♥ 1:03am Roberto: I like kittys
	♥ 1:04am HyperDose: Can never have enough cats, even if they aren't yours haha
	🦇 ♥ 1:05am Julie: if I wasn't allergic I'd have a bunch of kitties.
	♥ 1:05am Roberto: Aw that sux Joolz. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't have kitties.
	🦇 ♥ 1:06am Julie: I have my birds. They're great but you can't snuggle them in bed.
	1:07am phat in Lincoln: One of Bowie's most unremarked tunes.
	🦇 ♥ 1:10am Julie: it's so good. and I love that cover, and Azar Swan did a version as well.
	1:12am BH: cat update from here: Orange cat is on the bed. But he might get up and go upstairs soon if he thinks food is about to be distributed
	1:13am egould310: Cats are nice. But they’re kind of evil too. One time on my way to work I sat down for a second to pet the alley cat that hung around my apartment building. Gently petting. Good vibes. Then the weirdo cat freaked out and scratched my face. So I stopped petting the cat, and continued on to the bus stop to go to work. Got on the bus and everyone was staring all weird at me. The cat had scratched my nose and apparently there was blood all over my face. Didn’t know until I got to work and everyone was like “What the hell happened?!?!”
	🦇 ♥ 1:14am Julie: birds are a little psycho too. I've got the scars to prove it.
	1:16am phat in Lincoln: Haven't heard Bel Canto in ages
	1:18am egould310: Birds are psycho. Beaks are sharp.
	1:20am BH: birds are gonna insist that they're only that way to defend themselves against cats that want to present dead birds as war trophies
	1:23am Listener John from NJ: Hello, all! DJ Julie: I saw a book advertised on line called "Dark Nights of the Soul." The title didn't seem very original . . .
	🦇 ♥ 1:24am Julie: hiya John! the phrase goes WAY back
	1:24am Susan See: I am thoroughly enjoying this show, Julie. I’m sitting up late drawing my Christmas cards and this mood you’re spinning is enhancing everything.
	1:26am TroyD8: I miss the smell of a clove cigarette in the open air of a crisp winter night.
	🦇 ♥ 1:26am Julie: thank you so much Susan! drawing your own cards, that is wonderful!
	🦇 ♥ 1:26am Julie: hi Troy! Occasionally that is the smell of my show, other times it is more stinkbug
	1:27am Listener John from NJ: @Julie I know San Juan de la Cruz used it as a title for a book. I bet the new book that has "night" in the title is not as good as your show . . .
	1:28am Listener John from NJ: *"night" in the plural
	1:28am TroyD8: Whatever the aroma it is fine audio to fill the moments before I slumber.
	1:29am Daya: The term "dark night (of the soul)" in Roman Catholic spirituality describes a spiritual crisis in the journey toward union with God, like that described by St. John of the Cross.
	🦇 ♥ 1:29am Julie: it's a poem from a 16th century guy, but I got it from F Scott Fitzgerald & Loreena McKennitt
	1:29am phat in Lincoln: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JohnCross.jpg He coined the phrase.
	1:29am Susan See: @Julie, it’s a tradition. It’s also become a tradition not to finish them but I’m determined to get them to a printer this year. I’ll definitely be digging this show out of the archive in the future. Thanks for the tunes!
	1:29am Daya: Dark Night of the Soul is a poem written by the 16th-century Spanish mystic and poet St. John of the Cross. The author himself did not give any title to his poem, on which he wrote two book-length commentaries: Ascent of Mount Carmel and The Dark Night.
	1:30am phat in Lincoln: I haven't read that poem in a long time.
	♥ 1:30am HyperDose: Ouch! Sorry that happened, egould310. My new cat had a similar temperament when I first got her.
	1:31am phat in Lincoln: I haven't heard Loreena McKennit in ages either!
	♥ 1:31am Tome: Great Show Julie feels so right now in this slot too ) ah yes before ABBA there were Dolls )
	🦇 ♥ 1:32am Julie: hiya Tome! You are familiar with Dolls?? I just had to have it because of the name and cover
	♥ 1:33am Bobby: I’m into this
	♥ 1:33am Tome: only way back someone played it for me WAY back ,, lovely vocals , in back of mind mind
	🦇 ♥ 1:33am Julie: hi there Bobby, glad to hear that!
	1:37am BH: I had to check my "not supported since 2014" iPod to find out that the "Dark Night of the Soul" song I remembered hearing was by the Get Up Kids (from KCMO). So yes, it's a phrase that has been used several times in music, as all good musical things are.
	1:37am phat in Lincoln: Ima have to sign off. Great show, as usual. Have a good night
	🦇 ♥ 1:37am Julie: nite Phat good to see ya!
	1:37am ?: Sick set, great way to kickstart to morning here in Tel Aviv. thank you!
	🦇 ♥ 1:38am Julie: David Lynch has an album with that name also, Thanks person in Tel Aviv!
	1:40am egould310: @HyperDose Cats be crazy. My childhood cat Smokey would nuzzle up to me when I was sitting on the sofa watching TV; then just go nuts and start scratching and biting. Cats being cats.
	♥ 1:41am Tome: !<>!
	🦇 ♥ 1:42am Julie: yes I WOULD Like to go out to a show thank you
	1:42am egould310: Good morning to Tel Aviv. Hi from the lobby bar at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
	♥ 1:43am Tome: ... .. me too !<>! but this is so nice !<>!
	🦇 ♥ 1:43am Julie: ooooh Vegas!
	1:50am pp: re: dolls, reminded of the band Doll By Doll https://youtu.be/ZI-41V7SgEA
	1:52am Daya: Or the band Dollshead, with Sierra Swan. Only released one disc, but every song on it is amazing.
	1:57am P-90: “…IF things were normal…”
	1:59am Daya: No “December Will Be Magic Again” by Kate?
	♥ 2:01am Roberto: Charlie is on my top 5 most-missed-WFMU-DJs list.
	2:01am egould310: Gotta plumb the archives for those 4AD shows.
	🦇 ♥ 2:01am Julie: he just moved even farther away! But hopefully he will be back at least doing fill ins soon!
	🦇 ♥ 2:02am Julie: @Daya all the really good Xmas songs like that one I've played so many times.
	🦇 ♥ 2:02am Julie: I may do an Xmas bonus hour this week, we'll see
	2:02am Daya: Ahhh Helen Schneider! I had a poster of her on my wall in 1977 ;)
	🦇 ♥ 2:03am Julie: I knew you'd know who she was!!
	🦇 ♥ 2:03am Julie: wow she goes back that far!
	♥ 2:04am Roberto: Quit movin' 'round, Charlie!
	2:04am Daya: Yep! She was hot there for a few years, then she kinda vanished.
	♥ 2:04am Roberto: Whoa, proto-Genesis.
	2:07am Daya: Her album Let It Be Now, and the ‘black overalls’ poster: www.ebay.com...
	🦇 ♥ 2:11am Julie: I bought the record I thought she looked like a cross between Nena and Susanna Hoffs
	♥ 2:15am van chinski: Really enjoying the show.
	🦇 ♥ 2:16am Julie: thanks van!
	2:16am egould310: @ Daya yeah she sexy.
	2:16am Daya: She was kind of a more ‘goth’ like version of maybe Carla DeVito at that time? At least there were a lot of female singers around that time (thanks to Kate for opening up that genre)
	🦇 ♥ 2:17am Julie: I thought she was German, all the "kick" stuff are german releases. Guess she found a home with them with the US label got tired of her
	2:18am Daya: Sorry: autocorrect: Karla 1981’s “Is This a Cool World or What”
	2:19am Daya: Helen was born in Brooklyn, but works/worked a lot in Germany
	2:20am Daya: She was also in “Eddie and The Cruisers”, if you remember that movie ;)
	🦇 ♥ 2:22am Julie: I remember the movie existing I never saw it thought. Michael Pare'?
	2:24am Daya: Yep, that was him. It was big at the release, kind of thinly veiled movie about ‘Bruce Springsteen’
	🦇 ♥ 2:25am Julie: is he playing a banjo on this?
	2:31am Daya: Sorcerer? I don’t think Lindsay is playing on it, guitar by Waddy Wachtel
	2:32am pp: Helen Schneider also a Kelly LeBrock looker 😍
	🦇 ♥ 2:32am Julie: hmm that's odd.
	2:34am Daya: It wasn’t on the album, but released in ‘84 by Marilyn Martin for the “Streets of Fire” soundtrack (another movie with Michael Paré!)
	2:35am egould310: Diggin Alison’s Halo. Flyying Colours-esque.
	2:36am Daya: Stevie released it in 2001 on “ Trouble in Shangri-La”
	🦇 ♥ 2:36am Julie: but not that version. I thought for sure it was Buckingham/Nicks
	🦇 ♥ 2:37am Julie: it's on some of the illicit "reissues" "
	🦇 ♥ 2:40am Julie: must be an errant demo
	2:40am Daya: Could be. I only ever had the original LP (who could not buy it with that cover photo ;) ), and a cassette version. I only liked “Frozen Love” on it.
	2:42am Daya: Speaking of the cover photo: there’s a whole load of the ‘out takes’ and non-airbrushed photos of that shoot all over the internet
	🦇 ♥ 2:44am Julie: yes! I used one the other day where they both have shirts on
	2:51am Daya: Ah! I found that a subsequent reissue included a bunch of extra songs, including “Sorcerer”
	2:52am Daya: Thanks Julie, great show, as always!
	♥ 2:53am van chinski: Great show and swell company, thanks and good night
	♥ 2:55am spodiodi: thanks, Julie! great fill in!
	🦇 ♥ 2:56am Julie: thanks so much you guys!!
	2:56am Daya: I love Martha and the Muffins! :D
	🦇 ♥ 2:56am Julie: what is not to love?
	2:57am Daya: I played “Echo Beach” incessantly for about 6 months lol
	9:13am john: Like the site, must be a lot ov work, just to say... And all the best.

	🦇 ♥ 12:30am Julie: hiya Phat! Yes, I think so!
	12:32am BH: The brown stink bugs have really ramped up their activity around here lately. The local cluster didn't get blown away by the 50mph winds yesterday and I just escorted one off of a lightbulb to be dispatched
	12:32am northguineahills: Julie! Just woke up, what a surprise!
	🦇 ♥ 12:33am Julie: hiya BH! Hey NGH! oh no stink bugs ewww

	🦇 ♥ 12:47am Julie: hiya Spodi!
	12:48am Daya: Hi spodi, Sylvia, NGH, et. al.
	12:48am BH: I think this is the 3rd winter where the stinkbugs made their presence known. I think they sneak down a chimney (the fireplace can't exactly be used here)
	♥ 12:50am spodiodi: aloha, Daya! long time no see! great to see you! how are ya?
	12:51am egould310: @BH Maybe hey don’t sneak down the chimney? Maybe they’re always there? But they don’t always stink.
	12:51am Daya: Yep, been a while…thanks, I am ok, how’s you?!? 😁
	♥ 12:52am HyperDose: Hey Sylvia & Spodi!
	12:54am egould310: Epic opening set.
	12:54am BH: egould: I think they have to go outside for the Spring to lay eggs on something green. But yeah, they only stink if they're threatened
	12:55am Sylvia: Hi Daya, HyperDose, spodiodi!
	♥ 12:56am Roberto: Nailed it, Joolz!
	12:57am egould310: Sounding good
	12:57am phat in Lincoln: Can you take in your own lamps and turn off all the other lights?
	♥ 12:58am spodiodi: good good, Daya! i'm okay too howdy, HyperDose and Sylvia! glad to be hearing you now, Julie
	♥ 12:58am HyperDose: What was that about bass, Julie? I'm telling Handy and he's gonna tell K8!
	1:00am Sylvia: awww :D a cat was meowing at my door, I'm hungry (always a side effect of jetlag with me) and I have to wake up my sons to go to school! (last day before xmas break here)
	1:00am egould310: TMP: Too Many Pedals
	♥ 1:01am Roberto: Sylvia, was it your cat or just some rando cat?
	1:02am Sylvia: one of mine, Roberto! I do sometimes wake up because of other cats outside
	♥ 1:02am Sean from Austin: thanks Julie! <3
	🦇 ♥ 1:02am Julie: hiya Sean!
	♥ 1:03am Roberto: I like kittys
	♥ 1:04am HyperDose: Can never have enough cats, even if they aren't yours haha
	🦇 ♥ 1:05am Julie: if I wasn't allergic I'd have a bunch of kitties.
	♥ 1:05am Roberto: Aw that sux Joolz. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't have kitties.
	🦇 ♥ 1:06am Julie: I have my birds. They're great but you can't snuggle them in bed.
	1:07am phat in Lincoln: One of Bowie's most unremarked tunes.
	🦇 ♥ 1:10am Julie: it's so good. and I love that cover, and Azar Swan did a version as well.
	1:12am BH: cat update from here: Orange cat is on the bed. But he might get up and go upstairs soon if he thinks food is about to be distributed
	1:13am egould310: Cats are nice. But they’re kind of evil too. One time on my way to work I sat down for a second to pet the alley cat that hung around my apartment building. Gently petting. Good vibes. Then the weirdo cat freaked out and scratched my face. So I stopped petting the cat, and continued on to the bus stop to go to work. Got on the bus and everyone was staring all weird at me. The cat had scratched my nose and apparently there was blood all over my face. Didn’t know until I got to work and everyone was like “What the hell happened?!?!”
	🦇 ♥ 1:14am Julie: birds are a little psycho too. I've got the scars to prove it.
	1:16am phat in Lincoln: Haven't heard Bel Canto in ages
	1:18am egould310: Birds are psycho. Beaks are sharp.
	1:20am BH: birds are gonna insist that they're only that way to defend themselves against cats that want to present dead birds as war trophies
	1:23am Listener John from NJ: Hello, all! DJ Julie: I saw a book advertised on line called "Dark Nights of the Soul." The title didn't seem very original . . .
	🦇 ♥ 1:24am Julie: hiya John! the phrase goes WAY back
	1:24am Susan See: I am thoroughly enjoying this show, Julie. I’m sitting up late drawing my Christmas cards and this mood you’re spinning is enhancing everything.
	1:26am TroyD8: I miss the smell of a clove cigarette in the open air of a crisp winter night.
	🦇 ♥ 1:26am Julie: thank you so much Susan! drawing your own cards, that is wonderful!
	🦇 ♥ 1:26am Julie: hi Troy! Occasionally that is the smell of my show, other times it is more stinkbug
	1:27am Listener John from NJ: @Julie I know San Juan de la Cruz used it as a title for a book. I bet the new book that has "night" in the title is not as good as your show . . .
	1:28am Listener John from NJ: *"night" in the plural
	1:28am TroyD8: Whatever the aroma it is fine audio to fill the moments before I slumber.
	1:29am Daya: The term "dark night (of the soul)" in Roman Catholic spirituality describes a spiritual crisis in the journey toward union with God, like that described by St. John of the Cross.
	🦇 ♥ 1:29am Julie: it's a poem from a 16th century guy, but I got it from F Scott Fitzgerald & Loreena McKennitt
	1:29am phat in Lincoln: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:JohnCross.jpg He coined the phrase.
	1:29am Susan See: @Julie, it’s a tradition. It’s also become a tradition not to finish them but I’m determined to get them to a printer this year. I’ll definitely be digging this show out of the archive in the future. Thanks for the tunes!
	1:29am Daya: Dark Night of the Soul is a poem written by the 16th-century Spanish mystic and poet St. John of the Cross. The author himself did not give any title to his poem, on which he wrote two book-length commentaries: Ascent of Mount Carmel and The Dark Night.
	1:30am phat in Lincoln: I haven't read that poem in a long time.
	♥ 1:30am HyperDose: Ouch! Sorry that happened, egould310. My new cat had a similar temperament when I first got her.
	1:31am phat in Lincoln: I haven't heard Loreena McKennit in ages either!
	♥ 1:31am Tome: Great Show Julie feels so right now in this slot too ) ah yes before ABBA there were Dolls )
	🦇 ♥ 1:32am Julie: hiya Tome! You are familiar with Dolls?? I just had to have it because of the name and cover
	♥ 1:33am Bobby: I’m into this
	♥ 1:33am Tome: only way back someone played it for me WAY back ,, lovely vocals , in back of mind mind
	🦇 ♥ 1:33am Julie: hi there Bobby, glad to hear that!
	1:37am BH: I had to check my "not supported since 2014" iPod to find out that the "Dark Night of the Soul" song I remembered hearing was by the Get Up Kids (from KCMO). So yes, it's a phrase that has been used several times in music, as all good musical things are.
	1:37am phat in Lincoln: Ima have to sign off. Great show, as usual. Have a good night
	🦇 ♥ 1:37am Julie: nite Phat good to see ya!
	1:37am ?: Sick set, great way to kickstart to morning here in Tel Aviv. thank you!
	🦇 ♥ 1:38am Julie: David Lynch has an album with that name also, Thanks person in Tel Aviv!
	1:40am egould310: @HyperDose Cats be crazy. My childhood cat Smokey would nuzzle up to me when I was sitting on the sofa watching TV; then just go nuts and start scratching and biting. Cats being cats.
	♥ 1:41am Tome: !<>!
	🦇 ♥ 1:42am Julie: yes I WOULD Like to go out to a show thank you
	1:42am egould310: Good morning to Tel Aviv. Hi from the lobby bar at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
	♥ 1:43am Tome: ... .. me too !<>! but this is so nice !<>!
	🦇 ♥ 1:43am Julie: ooooh Vegas!
	1:50am pp: re: dolls, reminded of the band Doll By Doll https://youtu.be/ZI-41V7SgEA
	1:52am Daya: Or the band Dollshead, with Sierra Swan. Only released one disc, but every song on it is amazing.
	1:57am P-90: “…IF things were normal…”
	1:59am Daya: No “December Will Be Magic Again” by Kate?
	♥ 2:01am Roberto: Charlie is on my top 5 most-missed-WFMU-DJs list.
	2:01am egould310: Gotta plumb the archives for those 4AD shows.
	🦇 ♥ 2:01am Julie: he just moved even farther away! But hopefully he will be back at least doing fill ins soon!
	🦇 ♥ 2:02am Julie: @Daya all the really good Xmas songs like that one I've played so many times.
	🦇 ♥ 2:02am Julie: I may do an Xmas bonus hour this week, we'll see
	2:02am Daya: Ahhh Helen Schneider! I had a poster of her on my wall in 1977 ;)
	🦇 ♥ 2:03am Julie: I knew you'd know who she was!!
	🦇 ♥ 2:03am Julie: wow she goes back that far!
	♥ 2:04am Roberto: Quit movin' 'round, Charlie!
	2:04am Daya: Yep! She was hot there for a few years, then she kinda vanished.
	♥ 2:04am Roberto: Whoa, proto-Genesis.
	2:07am Daya: Her album Let It Be Now, and the ‘black overalls’ poster: www.ebay.com...
	🦇 ♥ 2:11am Julie: I bought the record I thought she looked like a cross between Nena and Susanna Hoffs
	♥ 2:15am van chinski: Really enjoying the show.
	🦇 ♥ 2:16am Julie: thanks van!
	2:16am egould310: @ Daya yeah she sexy.
	2:16am Daya: She was kind of a more ‘goth’ like version of maybe Carla DeVito at that time? At least there were a lot of female singers around that time (thanks to Kate for opening up that genre)
	🦇 ♥ 2:17am Julie: I thought she was German, all the "kick" stuff are german releases. Guess she found a home with them with the US label got tired of her
	2:18am Daya: Sorry: autocorrect: Karla 1981’s “Is This a Cool World or What”
	2:19am Daya: Helen was born in Brooklyn, but works/worked a lot in Germany
	2:20am Daya: She was also in “Eddie and The Cruisers”, if you remember that movie ;)
	🦇 ♥ 2:22am Julie: I remember the movie existing I never saw it thought. Michael Pare'?
	2:24am Daya: Yep, that was him. It was big at the release, kind of thinly veiled movie about ‘Bruce Springsteen’
	🦇 ♥ 2:25am Julie: is he playing a banjo on this?
	2:31am Daya: Sorcerer? I don’t think Lindsay is playing on it, guitar by Waddy Wachtel
	2:32am pp: Helen Schneider also a Kelly LeBrock looker 😍
	🦇 ♥ 2:32am Julie: hmm that's odd.
	2:34am Daya: It wasn’t on the album, but released in ‘84 by Marilyn Martin for the “Streets of Fire” soundtrack (another movie with Michael Paré!)
	2:35am egould310: Diggin Alison’s Halo. Flyying Colours-esque.
	2:36am Daya: Stevie released it in 2001 on “ Trouble in Shangri-La”
	🦇 ♥ 2:36am Julie: but not that version. I thought for sure it was Buckingham/Nicks
	🦇 ♥ 2:37am Julie: it's on some of the illicit "reissues" "
	🦇 ♥ 2:40am Julie: must be an errant demo
	2:40am Daya: Could be. I only ever had the original LP (who could not buy it with that cover photo ;) ), and a cassette version. I only liked “Frozen Love” on it.
	2:42am Daya: Speaking of the cover photo: there’s a whole load of the ‘out takes’ and non-airbrushed photos of that shoot all over the internet
	🦇 ♥ 2:44am Julie: yes! I used one the other day where they both have shirts on
	2:51am Daya: Ah! I found that a subsequent reissue included a bunch of extra songs, including “Sorcerer”
	2:52am Daya: Thanks Julie, great show, as always!
	♥ 2:53am van chinski: Great show and swell company, thanks and good night
	♥ 2:55am spodiodi: thanks, Julie! great fill in!
	🦇 ♥ 2:56am Julie: thanks so much you guys!!
	2:56am Daya: I love Martha and the Muffins! :D
	🦇 ♥ 2:56am Julie: what is not to love?
	2:57am Daya: I played “Echo Beach” incessantly for about 6 months lol
	9:13am john: Like the site, must be a lot ov work, just to say... And all the best.
