Listener comments!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:01pm chresti: Hi friendly bodega show!
	♥ 7:01pm Gary: Evening, Chresti!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:01pm WR: Sing to me of the bodega.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:03pm WR: Wow, I guess some might say that the CD era is past.
	♥ 7:05pm Gary: WR! Yes, it recedes from us as we listen
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:07pm doctorjazz: Hello all!
	7:07pm headcleaner: If CDs are done and gone does that mean ... I'll be done with pretty soon, too?
	♥ 7:08pm Gary: Dr. Jazz and Headcleaner to the rescue!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:09pm doctorjazz: (after being a vinyl fetishist throughout the whole "death of vinyl" years, the high cost of vinyl is making me rethink CD's, which are now the affordable music medium out there.
	♥ 7:10pm Gary: Very true, Dr J. Also, after a few decades of my own listening to CDs, vinyl is hard to come back to, what with all of the surface noise
	♥ 7:10pm Gary: ... he wrote, over the crackly noise of the digitized 78
	7:11pm tim abdellah: Digital hello, everyone!
	♥ 7:11pm Gary: Tim! 010111001110111001101 to you as well!
	♥ 7:14pm ironybread: Hello Bodega Boy
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:14pm WR: Ha ha. 2000 to 2006 I was scooping up piles of LPs for $2 and less. Recently I've been getting lots of CDs for under $5 a disk, though trying to stop that. Too much stuff. Recent release CDs are still a thing and typically $15 to 20.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:15pm WR: ironybread! I've yet to listen to your recent Monty Python specials. Looking forward to it.
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: Ironybread, Welcome!
	♥ 7:17pm ironybread: I'll lay it out, man: I don't want to buy music unless it's a digital file. I buy records, but I don't listen to them! I digitize them! And a 96K file of a master tape is, as far as I'm concerned, the same as the master tape. Now of course CDs aren't at that resolution. But I still would rather buy a WAV file of an album to listen to.
	♥ 7:17pm ironybread: As an art object, however, LPs are exquisite, gorgeous, large, weighty, solid, and satisfying.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:19pm doctorjazz: I need a source for CD's $5 or less... I did hit the used record stores when the CD took off, though I don't think I ever got such bargains as WR did. New Vinyl now sells for around $20 at the cheapest, and reissues of "premium" vinyl starts at $30-35, and some reissues, like Mobile Fidelity UHQR, sell for $125 (and are issued as limited editions, and invariably sell out very quickly). Sheesh!
	♥ 7:20pm Gary: I'm for the first time at a point in my life where I've got all the major options: cassette, CD, digital file, vinyl -- I listen to them all, but find digitizing cassettes and cutting them up into separate tracks to be easier on me than listening to cassettes themselves, but maybe I'm just a big chicken
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:20pm chresti: We're a bit overwhelmed with art objects, presently
	♥ 7:20pm ironybread: doctorjazz - bless Mobile Fidelity, they put out what are still the best-sounding reissues of the great Firesign Theatre albums in the 1990s
	♥ 7:21pm ironybread: @Gary - you're not a chicken, turning a cassette into something you can actually listen to is work; and sitting and waiting for the cassette to finish playing is a great way to get more intimate with the work
	♥ 7:22pm ironybread: hi everybody, by the way
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:22pm doctorjazz: @ironybread-that's what I need, a good analog to digital converter that doesn't break the bank. I have a TASCAM DR-05, which was fairly inexpensive, but the act of digitizing 1 LP takes hours, and it doesn't have good overload warnings for setting levels. As for MoFi, I have nothing against them, and them making a buck on good reissues. They have just become unaffordable. (and I get green with envy when someone has one).
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:24pm doctorjazz: And, as one that has lost many files to crashing external drives and PC failure, I don't like to buy albums that ONLY exist in a digital file (I know, back up, haven't figured how/what to use for it).
	♥ 7:25pm Gary: I back everything up on external hard drives -- I've got about a dozen or more now
	♥ 7:26pm Gary: I put the same files on multiple hard drives, which has saved me more than once, as they do fail
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:29pm doctorjazz: (24/96 files aren't really master tape quality-I've done comparison with higher resolution, 24/192, and you can tell the difference. Neil Young's old Pono music player actually had a setting where you could do this and hear for yourself. Having said that, the differences are there if you listen for them, but in usual listening circumstances, with direct A-B comparison, 24/96 should sound fine indeed).
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:30pm doctorjazz: I have 4 external drives-they all have different music on them. You'd think I'd get this organized, but if I have to manually copy them over, it's likely not going to happen.
	♥ 7:34pm ike̶̬̕: USB sticks are getting big now -- how reliable are they compared to external drives? (I obviously have a lot less digital music than you guys, probably only 1 TB or less if I were to get around to ripping all these CDs.)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:34pm doctorjazz: Haven't listened to cassettes since, maybe the 80's... (Still have a bunch, spouse encouraging me to get rid of them)
	♥ 7:35pm Gary: Ike! What are the capacities of USB sticks these days?
	♥ 7:37pm ironybread: Ike - regarding the longevity of flash drives, that's a good question - I don't know the latest archival data on the survivability of solid state drives. All we need to know for now is the good advice we already know, which is: put your data on hard drives, keep the drives spinning, and back them up often
	♥ 7:40pm ike̶̬̕: I have a few 256 GB ones that I got for $20 each, but they go bigger now.
	♥ 7:44pm ironybread: Holy my wish to merge with the man of my dreams
	♥ 7:47pm i̺k̺e̺: Apparently the newest USB drives go up to 1 TB now. Micro Center has 512 GB ones for as cheap as $40, but the 1 TBs are quite expensive and fancy-looking w/no house brand apparently yet available.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:47pm chresti: The problem I've had with flash drives is the formatting for different OS/devices/platforms
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm Webhamster Henry: Super lot of ubuweb material here!
	♥ 7:50pm Gary: Henry! Yes, this set is decidedly in that wheelhouse
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:50pm chresti: nice segue Mr. dj!
	♥ 7:54pm StringOFperils: Hi. Listening. Zoning out. :)
	♥ 7:55pm Gary: StringOFperils!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:56pm Webhamster Henry: USB sticks are capacious and cheap - and slow. So as long as you're just playing music off it, it's not so bad. External drives are also big, cheap and fast. I just got about 6G of raw video delivered on a 1Tb drive! My gray head remembers struggling in 1991 to get 100 M together to save the 1100 frames of one of my animations on so it could be single framed to video tape. [My current WFMU Friendship avatar is from a WFMU TV bumper I did a few years later]
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:03pm chresti: I've noticed a decline in trade-in value when trading in cds at Amoeba in the last 10 years
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: OMG, I recognize this crazy rapper, it's Joey Boy!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:05pm chresti: I want to hear more Joey Boy!
	♥ 8:07pm Gary: I am SO happy to hear you say that, Chresti, for I have ... I have ... LOTS of Joey Boy! Some of it thanks to Peter Doolan, who brought back a double CD Joey Boy retrospective on one of his trips to Thailand
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:08pm chresti: I love crazy rappers and toasters
	8:12pm tim abdellah: I've never listened to these, including the Moroccan one. I think I avoided buying it because I assumed there were no permissions acquired for the artists.
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: I don't think there were permissions for these, no
	8:13pm tim abdellah: Says the guy who posts tapes on a music blog...
	♥ 8:14pm Gary: ... to his blogging friend, haha
	8:16pm tim abdellah: This sounds like Matoub Lones
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: ... in the Spotify/Hitpiece era
	8:16pm tim abdellah: ** Lounes
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: Oh, I think I have one of his CDs
	♥ 8:16pm ironybread: You want posting anonymous Egyptian tapes to his blog? I'll give you posting anonymous Egyptian tapes to his blog: taylorjessen.blogspot.com... #SeriouslyIDontEvenKnowWhatsOnThisTape
	♥ 8:17pm Gary: Sweet, thank you, IronyB!
	♥ 8:18pm ironybread: "Egyptian Cassette Archive" on Instagram sez: "It’s an interesting cover with a beautiful Font. There is a number ٣١ next to the title, which is 31. I’m not sure if this means that this mixtape is a series or it’s just a number! Anyway most of the songs are Egyptian. The title on the cover is: The most beautiful Arabic variety."
	8:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the not just Frequently - the Reliably Sublime BodegaPop Program ...enuff stolen WiFis to listen & chat same time even...
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: Speaking of pirating, I'll have to see if I can dig up the online article about Cambodia cracking down on pirates and bulldozing tons of CDs ...
	♥ 8:19pm Gary: RevRab!
	8:19pm tim abdellah: Oh Taylor - the Firesign archivist! Is that you? Thanks for your fantastic Firesign work!
	♥ 8:20pm Gary: khmernz.blogspot.com...
	8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Firesign ~ Happy Water Tiger to All ~
	♥ 8:24pm ironybread: Thank you Revolution Rabbit & Tim! Everybody should buy some Firesign stuff.
	♥ 8:24pm ironybread: I'll listen to anything in a foreign language, ever. But as a DJ it's important to me to know what every song is about before I play it on my own show! You should always know what's in the gun before you pull the trigger.
	♥ 8:25pm Gary: I wouldn't have a show if I followed that rule, haha
	♥ 8:26pm ironybread: FAIR! And duly noted, Gary
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:27pm WR: Gary, you sell yourself short. But it has been great when native or fairly fluent speakers are listening and adding to our understanding.
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: I love when folks with the 411 show up
	♥ 8:33pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary & all
	♥ 8:33pm i̺k̺e̺: The foghorn is on!
	8:33pm tim abdellah: Interesting - the music snippets in this excerpt have so far not sounded Moroccan
	♥ 8:34pm Gary: They may well not be -- the Radio Palestine CD I don't think has any Palestinian music
	♥ 8:34pm i̺k̺e̺: I wasn't always crazy about Morocco when I went in 2019 but there definitely really interesting radio!
	♥ 8:34pm ironybread: ike - what bit of Morocco did you visit
	♥ 8:39pm i̺k̺e̺: A few places -- Marrakech (mostly too touristy and very aggressive), Essaouira (loved it even though it's touristy), Ouarzazate (not for me), Meknes (the best place, very few tourists, lots of friendly cats, very pretty, cool music in the town square), Fes (beautiful but aggressive, overrun by tourists and touts), Rabat (actually not bad w/a great small Palestinian restaurant), and passed through Casablanca on my way to the airport (just as ugly as everyone says).
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:43pm WR: Addrienne (think I am remembering her name correctly) often used global radio recordings in her assemblage. She found many different sources.
	♥ 8:44pm drowsy: Carts!
	♥ 8:45pm ironybread: #TheGloryOfTheCart
	♥ 8:47pm coelacanth∅: (especially the blah blah blah)
	♥ 8:47pm drowsy: I absolutely love the Gary DJ origin story!!! If you have interviews etc I'd gobble them up.
	♥ 8:47pm Gary: Drowsy! Thank you, and welcome!
	♥ 8:48pm ironybread: Oh man, now I totally want to go to Meknes www.google.com...
	♥ 8:57pm ironybread: I cannot believe how beautiful this place looks www.google.com...
	♥ 8:58pm Gary: Wow
	♥ 8:59pm ironybread: Minaret of the Lalla Aouda Mosque en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 8:59pm i̺k̺e̺: It was raining one whole day when I was in Meknes but I still enjoyed it. Not much English is spoken but at least there aren't touts constantly bugging you all the time and trying to get you to go to a tannery or something.
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Is anyone finding Mr Peek bearable?
	♥ 9:01pm Gary: Gregory!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:05pm WR: Is there a listing of these Peel programs online. Curious about the playlists.
	♥ 9:06pm caroline from atlanta: hi all! logging in a little late but so pleased to log into hear cornershop!!
	♥ 9:06pm drowsy: wow, never heard cornershop that was this raw. cool!
	♥ 9:07pm Gary: Caroline! Hey there! And, WR, yes, at: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:08pm chresti: The weather is about the same in Meknes as it is in SoCal
	9:12pm tim abdellah: Meknes is nice, and yeah easy going! I had the most fun in Marrakech, but it helped that I stayed with a family there.
	♥ 9:13pm ironybread: Aw man I want to be in Meknes this instant. Now I have a goal
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:13pm WR: Thank you Gary, didn't realize it would be as such an obvious place as discogs.
	♥ 9:24pm i̺k̺e̺: Overall I really prefer Taiwan, Thailand, Laos, and Peru though! Taiwan has especially great night markets. I'm glad I got a chance to go there a few years ago, because sadly, nobody can be sure how much longer it'll be independent. Chinese nationalist imperialism is chomping at the bit.
	♥ 9:25pm ironybread: ike - what bits of Peru did you get to visit
	9:30pm tim abdellah: An exciting time to be in Meknes would be during the big annual moussem (saint's festival) centering on the zawiya of L-Hadi ben Aissa (eponym of the Aissawa brotherhood). I've never been (I go to the one outside of Marrakech if I'm in Morocco at that time of year). But there would be lots of street processions of various trance brotherhoods that converge on the city for the festival. This year, it should be around the 3rd week of October.
	♥ 9:31pm Gary: Ah, man -- now I'm crying, missing travel so much :(
	♥ 9:32pm ironybread: One of the CDs that made 1995 spectacular #TowaTei
	9:32pm tim abdellah: Oh cool - the Deee Lite DJ, right?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:34pm WR: Towa Tei !
	♥ 9:35pm Gary: I didn't know that, Tim, but just looked it up, and it likes like so, yes
	♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: a bit of shocking blue influence here
	♥ 9:36pm Gary: coelacanth∅!
	♥ 9:37pm i̺k̺e̺: Gosh, it's been a while. Lima, Cuzco, the ubiquitous Machu Picchu of course, Paracas, Puno, maybe one or two others. So much excellent tiradito and ceviche.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:37pm Parq: Sounding great, there, Gary.
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: Parq!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:37pm WR: Yes, he went back to Japan and was very active for a while. I'm totally out of touch for the last 15 years or so, but 90s he did a lot. Have a great EP CD he did with the manzai comedy guys "Downtown" that I love.
	♥ 9:39pm drowsy: semi related to the Walk Tuff track! The story of how a new hire at Casio in 1980 placed a track in the MT-40 that was influenced by reggae and reggae loved her back... www.metafilter.com...
	♥ 9:41pm Gary: Whoa, I no idea about Sleng-Teng's origins, that's amazing
	9:41pm northguineahills: Cornelius!
	♥ 9:42pm Gary: NGH!
	♥ 9:43pm ironybread: Okay Gary, you are actively raiding my CD collection right now...how did you get in my apartment
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: What do you think I was doing all that time the music was playing before ... just sitting here?
	9:44pm northguineahills: P5! Yes I have a fan club card (that came w/ an album).
	♥ 9:44pm ironybread: You're probably going to play Satanicpornocultshop next, right ??? Here let me grab the CD for you
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Haha
	♥ 9:46pm _Ike_: Some old Peru photos: www.instagram.com... www.instagram.com... www.instagram.com...
	♥ 9:46pm Gary: Hey Kids! Right after this mess? The music goes on, with Sam Segal at the Wheel! Tonight's If You Lose Your Horse is called "All I Wanted to Know Was How the Horse Had Known" and you can stream it right here in 14 minutes: wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:54pm WR: Thank you Gary! Great episode!
	♥ 9:54pm ironybread: I'll listen to Sam's show if you all will listen to my show on the Sheena's stream on Saturday morning #BlatantPlug
	♥ 9:54pm coelacanth∅: Ike are those good n fruity candies in that peruvian dish?
	♥ 9:55pm ironybread: #BlessOutStreamsAndAllWhoSailInThem
	9:56pm tim abdellah: Fun digital grooving with y'all tonite! Thx Gary!
	♥ 9:57pm Gary: Always great to see you, Tim!
	9:58pm rw: Thank you Gary!!!!!
	♥ 9:58pm Gary: RW! hello! Goodbye!
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm ironybread: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 10:01pm chresti: Thanks Gary!

	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:15pm WR: ironybread! I've yet to listen to your recent Monty Python specials. Looking forward to it.
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: Ironybread, Welcome!
	♥ 7:17pm ironybread: I'll lay it out, man: I don't want to buy music unless it's a digital file. I buy records, but I don't listen to them! I digitize them! And a 96K file of a master tape is, as far as I'm concerned, the same as the master tape. Now of course CDs aren't at that resolution. But I still would rather buy a WAV file of an album to listen to.
	♥ 7:17pm ironybread: As an art object, however, LPs are exquisite, gorgeous, large, weighty, solid, and satisfying.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:19pm doctorjazz: I need a source for CD's $5 or less... I did hit the used record stores when the CD took off, though I don't think I ever got such bargains as WR did. New Vinyl now sells for around $20 at the cheapest, and reissues of "premium" vinyl starts at $30-35, and some reissues, like Mobile Fidelity UHQR, sell for $125 (and are issued as limited editions, and invariably sell out very quickly). Sheesh!
	♥ 7:20pm Gary: I'm for the first time at a point in my life where I've got all the major options: cassette, CD, digital file, vinyl -- I listen to them all, but find digitizing cassettes and cutting them up into separate tracks to be easier on me than listening to cassettes themselves, but maybe I'm just a big chicken
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:20pm chresti: We're a bit overwhelmed with art objects, presently
	♥ 7:20pm ironybread: doctorjazz - bless Mobile Fidelity, they put out what are still the best-sounding reissues of the great Firesign Theatre albums in the 1990s
	♥ 7:21pm ironybread: @Gary - you're not a chicken, turning a cassette into something you can actually listen to is work; and sitting and waiting for the cassette to finish playing is a great way to get more intimate with the work
	♥ 7:22pm ironybread: hi everybody, by the way
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:22pm doctorjazz: @ironybread-that's what I need, a good analog to digital converter that doesn't break the bank. I have a TASCAM DR-05, which was fairly inexpensive, but the act of digitizing 1 LP takes hours, and it doesn't have good overload warnings for setting levels. As for MoFi, I have nothing against them, and them making a buck on good reissues. They have just become unaffordable. (and I get green with envy when someone has one).
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:24pm doctorjazz: And, as one that has lost many files to crashing external drives and PC failure, I don't like to buy albums that ONLY exist in a digital file (I know, back up, haven't figured how/what to use for it).
	♥ 7:25pm Gary: I back everything up on external hard drives -- I've got about a dozen or more now
	♥ 7:26pm Gary: I put the same files on multiple hard drives, which has saved me more than once, as they do fail
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:29pm doctorjazz: (24/96 files aren't really master tape quality-I've done comparison with higher resolution, 24/192, and you can tell the difference. Neil Young's old Pono music player actually had a setting where you could do this and hear for yourself. Having said that, the differences are there if you listen for them, but in usual listening circumstances, with direct A-B comparison, 24/96 should sound fine indeed).
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:30pm doctorjazz: I have 4 external drives-they all have different music on them. You'd think I'd get this organized, but if I have to manually copy them over, it's likely not going to happen.
	♥ 7:34pm ike̶̬̕: USB sticks are getting big now -- how reliable are they compared to external drives? (I obviously have a lot less digital music than you guys, probably only 1 TB or less if I were to get around to ripping all these CDs.)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:34pm doctorjazz: Haven't listened to cassettes since, maybe the 80's... (Still have a bunch, spouse encouraging me to get rid of them)
	♥ 7:35pm Gary: Ike! What are the capacities of USB sticks these days?
	♥ 7:37pm ironybread: Ike - regarding the longevity of flash drives, that's a good question - I don't know the latest archival data on the survivability of solid state drives. All we need to know for now is the good advice we already know, which is: put your data on hard drives, keep the drives spinning, and back them up often
	♥ 7:40pm ike̶̬̕: I have a few 256 GB ones that I got for $20 each, but they go bigger now.
	♥ 7:44pm ironybread: Holy my wish to merge with the man of my dreams
	♥ 7:47pm i̺k̺e̺: Apparently the newest USB drives go up to 1 TB now. Micro Center has 512 GB ones for as cheap as $40, but the 1 TBs are quite expensive and fancy-looking w/no house brand apparently yet available.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:47pm chresti: The problem I've had with flash drives is the formatting for different OS/devices/platforms
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm Webhamster Henry: Super lot of ubuweb material here!
	♥ 7:50pm Gary: Henry! Yes, this set is decidedly in that wheelhouse
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:50pm chresti: nice segue Mr. dj!
	♥ 7:54pm StringOFperils: Hi. Listening. Zoning out. :)
	♥ 7:55pm Gary: StringOFperils!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:56pm Webhamster Henry: USB sticks are capacious and cheap - and slow. So as long as you're just playing music off it, it's not so bad. External drives are also big, cheap and fast. I just got about 6G of raw video delivered on a 1Tb drive! My gray head remembers struggling in 1991 to get 100 M together to save the 1100 frames of one of my animations on so it could be single framed to video tape. [My current WFMU Friendship avatar is from a WFMU TV bumper I did a few years later]
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:03pm chresti: I've noticed a decline in trade-in value when trading in cds at Amoeba in the last 10 years
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: OMG, I recognize this crazy rapper, it's Joey Boy!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:05pm chresti: I want to hear more Joey Boy!
	♥ 8:07pm Gary: I am SO happy to hear you say that, Chresti, for I have ... I have ... LOTS of Joey Boy! Some of it thanks to Peter Doolan, who brought back a double CD Joey Boy retrospective on one of his trips to Thailand
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:08pm chresti: I love crazy rappers and toasters
	8:12pm tim abdellah: I've never listened to these, including the Moroccan one. I think I avoided buying it because I assumed there were no permissions acquired for the artists.
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: I don't think there were permissions for these, no
	8:13pm tim abdellah: Says the guy who posts tapes on a music blog...
	♥ 8:14pm Gary: ... to his blogging friend, haha
	8:16pm tim abdellah: This sounds like Matoub Lones
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: ... in the Spotify/Hitpiece era
	8:16pm tim abdellah: ** Lounes
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: Oh, I think I have one of his CDs
	♥ 8:16pm ironybread: You want posting anonymous Egyptian tapes to his blog? I'll give you posting anonymous Egyptian tapes to his blog: taylorjessen.blogspot.com... #SeriouslyIDontEvenKnowWhatsOnThisTape
	♥ 8:17pm Gary: Sweet, thank you, IronyB!
	♥ 8:18pm ironybread: "Egyptian Cassette Archive" on Instagram sez: "It’s an interesting cover with a beautiful Font. There is a number ٣١ next to the title, which is 31. I’m not sure if this means that this mixtape is a series or it’s just a number! Anyway most of the songs are Egyptian. The title on the cover is: The most beautiful Arabic variety."
	8:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the not just Frequently - the Reliably Sublime BodegaPop Program ...enuff stolen WiFis to listen & chat same time even...
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: Speaking of pirating, I'll have to see if I can dig up the online article about Cambodia cracking down on pirates and bulldozing tons of CDs ...
	♥ 8:19pm Gary: RevRab!
	8:19pm tim abdellah: Oh Taylor - the Firesign archivist! Is that you? Thanks for your fantastic Firesign work!
	♥ 8:20pm Gary: khmernz.blogspot.com...
	8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Firesign ~ Happy Water Tiger to All ~
	♥ 8:24pm ironybread: Thank you Revolution Rabbit & Tim! Everybody should buy some Firesign stuff.
	♥ 8:24pm ironybread: I'll listen to anything in a foreign language, ever. But as a DJ it's important to me to know what every song is about before I play it on my own show! You should always know what's in the gun before you pull the trigger.
	♥ 8:25pm Gary: I wouldn't have a show if I followed that rule, haha
	♥ 8:26pm ironybread: FAIR! And duly noted, Gary
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:27pm WR: Gary, you sell yourself short. But it has been great when native or fairly fluent speakers are listening and adding to our understanding.
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: I love when folks with the 411 show up
	♥ 8:33pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary & all
	♥ 8:33pm i̺k̺e̺: The foghorn is on!
	8:33pm tim abdellah: Interesting - the music snippets in this excerpt have so far not sounded Moroccan
	♥ 8:34pm Gary: They may well not be -- the Radio Palestine CD I don't think has any Palestinian music
	♥ 8:34pm i̺k̺e̺: I wasn't always crazy about Morocco when I went in 2019 but there definitely really interesting radio!
	♥ 8:34pm ironybread: ike - what bit of Morocco did you visit
	♥ 8:39pm i̺k̺e̺: A few places -- Marrakech (mostly too touristy and very aggressive), Essaouira (loved it even though it's touristy), Ouarzazate (not for me), Meknes (the best place, very few tourists, lots of friendly cats, very pretty, cool music in the town square), Fes (beautiful but aggressive, overrun by tourists and touts), Rabat (actually not bad w/a great small Palestinian restaurant), and passed through Casablanca on my way to the airport (just as ugly as everyone says).
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:43pm WR: Addrienne (think I am remembering her name correctly) often used global radio recordings in her assemblage. She found many different sources.
	♥ 8:44pm drowsy: Carts!
	♥ 8:45pm ironybread: #TheGloryOfTheCart
	♥ 8:47pm coelacanth∅: (especially the blah blah blah)
	♥ 8:47pm drowsy: I absolutely love the Gary DJ origin story!!! If you have interviews etc I'd gobble them up.
	♥ 8:47pm Gary: Drowsy! Thank you, and welcome!
	♥ 8:48pm ironybread: Oh man, now I totally want to go to Meknes www.google.com...
	♥ 8:57pm ironybread: I cannot believe how beautiful this place looks www.google.com...
	♥ 8:58pm Gary: Wow
	♥ 8:59pm ironybread: Minaret of the Lalla Aouda Mosque en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 8:59pm i̺k̺e̺: It was raining one whole day when I was in Meknes but I still enjoyed it. Not much English is spoken but at least there aren't touts constantly bugging you all the time and trying to get you to go to a tannery or something.
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Is anyone finding Mr Peek bearable?
	♥ 9:01pm Gary: Gregory!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:05pm WR: Is there a listing of these Peel programs online. Curious about the playlists.
	♥ 9:06pm caroline from atlanta: hi all! logging in a little late but so pleased to log into hear cornershop!!
	♥ 9:06pm drowsy: wow, never heard cornershop that was this raw. cool!
	♥ 9:07pm Gary: Caroline! Hey there! And, WR, yes, at: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:08pm chresti: The weather is about the same in Meknes as it is in SoCal
	9:12pm tim abdellah: Meknes is nice, and yeah easy going! I had the most fun in Marrakech, but it helped that I stayed with a family there.
	♥ 9:13pm ironybread: Aw man I want to be in Meknes this instant. Now I have a goal
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:13pm WR: Thank you Gary, didn't realize it would be as such an obvious place as discogs.
	♥ 9:24pm i̺k̺e̺: Overall I really prefer Taiwan, Thailand, Laos, and Peru though! Taiwan has especially great night markets. I'm glad I got a chance to go there a few years ago, because sadly, nobody can be sure how much longer it'll be independent. Chinese nationalist imperialism is chomping at the bit.
	♥ 9:25pm ironybread: ike - what bits of Peru did you get to visit
	9:30pm tim abdellah: An exciting time to be in Meknes would be during the big annual moussem (saint's festival) centering on the zawiya of L-Hadi ben Aissa (eponym of the Aissawa brotherhood). I've never been (I go to the one outside of Marrakech if I'm in Morocco at that time of year). But there would be lots of street processions of various trance brotherhoods that converge on the city for the festival. This year, it should be around the 3rd week of October.
	♥ 9:31pm Gary: Ah, man -- now I'm crying, missing travel so much :(
	♥ 9:32pm ironybread: One of the CDs that made 1995 spectacular #TowaTei
	9:32pm tim abdellah: Oh cool - the Deee Lite DJ, right?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:34pm WR: Towa Tei !
	♥ 9:35pm Gary: I didn't know that, Tim, but just looked it up, and it likes like so, yes
	♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: a bit of shocking blue influence here
	♥ 9:36pm Gary: coelacanth∅!
	♥ 9:37pm i̺k̺e̺: Gosh, it's been a while. Lima, Cuzco, the ubiquitous Machu Picchu of course, Paracas, Puno, maybe one or two others. So much excellent tiradito and ceviche.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:37pm Parq: Sounding great, there, Gary.
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: Parq!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:37pm WR: Yes, he went back to Japan and was very active for a while. I'm totally out of touch for the last 15 years or so, but 90s he did a lot. Have a great EP CD he did with the manzai comedy guys "Downtown" that I love.
	♥ 9:39pm drowsy: semi related to the Walk Tuff track! The story of how a new hire at Casio in 1980 placed a track in the MT-40 that was influenced by reggae and reggae loved her back... www.metafilter.com...
	♥ 9:41pm Gary: Whoa, I no idea about Sleng-Teng's origins, that's amazing
	9:41pm northguineahills: Cornelius!
	♥ 9:42pm Gary: NGH!
	♥ 9:43pm ironybread: Okay Gary, you are actively raiding my CD collection right now...how did you get in my apartment
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: What do you think I was doing all that time the music was playing before ... just sitting here?
	9:44pm northguineahills: P5! Yes I have a fan club card (that came w/ an album).
	♥ 9:44pm ironybread: You're probably going to play Satanicpornocultshop next, right ??? Here let me grab the CD for you
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Haha
	♥ 9:46pm _Ike_: Some old Peru photos: www.instagram.com... www.instagram.com... www.instagram.com...
	♥ 9:46pm Gary: Hey Kids! Right after this mess? The music goes on, with Sam Segal at the Wheel! Tonight's If You Lose Your Horse is called "All I Wanted to Know Was How the Horse Had Known" and you can stream it right here in 14 minutes: wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:54pm WR: Thank you Gary! Great episode!
	♥ 9:54pm ironybread: I'll listen to Sam's show if you all will listen to my show on the Sheena's stream on Saturday morning #BlatantPlug
	♥ 9:54pm coelacanth∅: Ike are those good n fruity candies in that peruvian dish?
	♥ 9:55pm ironybread: #BlessOutStreamsAndAllWhoSailInThem
	9:56pm tim abdellah: Fun digital grooving with y'all tonite! Thx Gary!
	♥ 9:57pm Gary: Always great to see you, Tim!
	9:58pm rw: Thank you Gary!!!!!
	♥ 9:58pm Gary: RW! hello! Goodbye!
