	10:14am sphere: hi fleep
	10:15am JakeGould: You ain’t got no celiac disease.

	10:18am thedunkel: nice set today!
	10:18am Chris M.: thanks @thedunkel!
	10:23am P-90: "Jolie...jolie...jolie..." Hi Chris, tip-top show today.
	10:24am Chris M.: thanks @P-90!
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the 'orrible WH♂ ...weaker than the album version, actually...
	♥ 10:30am Greg from Bloomfield: I hope this song is 43 mins long.
	10:32am Chris M.: @Greg from Bloomfield: i guess i could loop it for the rest of my show. let's put it to a vote.
	♥ 10:32am common: goin into a trance
	♥ 10:32am Marcel M: Sounds good to me Chris/Greg
	♥ 10:32am βrian: Assenting to the loop-garou.
	10:37am Chris M.: if i only played one song you wouldn't get to hear all this other great music. this is why voting is stupid.
	♥ 10:39am Marcel M: So true. I think it was Stalin said that, right?
	10:40am steve: best loop would be a great FMA contest! like best few-seconds loop you can listen to on repeat for hours.
	♥ 10:41am Marcel M: Kinda like Lets Build A Pussy. I think thats like a second or less clip spread to an hour
	♥ 10:41am Mike East: @steve - I like that idea
	10:42am bobdoesthings: DJ's should get to feel like dictators. DJ's dictate what shall be heard! "DJ Dictator and his Sonic Regime".. that'd be my fmu show.
	10:43am sphere: My WFMU show would be named "The Inconvenience Store."
	10:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Original by Earl King - smokin' - they do the whole album huh?
	10:44am bobdoesthings: I could even pretend my name is Richard Tator... call me dick though. Dick Tator.
	10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: bob & sphere: great !
	10:47am Chris M.: everyone post the titles for your wfmu shows. mine would be Please Be Quiet, Caller. it would be a phone in show but there would be music blasting in the background so everyone would have to yell.
	10:48am Chris M.: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: it's a comp
	♥ 10:51am Greg from Bloomfield: I often thought of doing a competitive show where 2 DJs square off in a song-for-song battle every week, and the commenters/callers vote for who wins. I don't have a name though. Maybe "BattleBots".
	10:52am steve: Three Hours of B Flat with Steve
	♥ 10:52am Marcel M: Sounds like the Clay vs Fabio battles a bit Greg. I like it.
	10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I would play only comps & 'OverCompensating' - so @ least I wouldn't be over-commenting...
	♥ 10:54am common: mine would be called sound hole...play everything through delay
	♥ 10:54am Greg from Bloomfield: @Marcel: Just thought of that after I typed it! But my friends and I used to do it with mix tapes in college...
	♥ 10:55am Marcel M: Mine would be Unimaginative Radio, and I'd play Top 40
	♥ 10:56am Andrew Waterloo: I wouldn't know how to play Top 40
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When I was a little kid I made Vol.s of cassette tapes of collage of whatever - w/ covers & all - called 'The Everything That's Nothing to Anyone but Me Show' - so that...
	♥ 10:56am Greg from Bloomfield: I would seriously listen to that, Marcel! If once a week I could get caught up on what's popular, WITHOUT commercials, I'd totally do it.
	♥ 10:58am Marcel M: @Greg: haha. I could probably just do it live from a Bodega with their speakers miked.
	10:59am will: This show is beyond archival! (L'Engoulevent?!) It is archaeological!
	♥ 10:59am Greg from Bloomfield: NOW we're talking. Week 1: Live from the Willowbrook Mall. Week 2: Live from a gas station...
	11:00am P-90: Woah... That Bog Oak track was an eye-opener. Czarface was way cool too.
	11:02am Chris M.: Sleep's Holy Mountain one of the greatest metal albums of all time
	♥ 11:02am Rev. Turnip Druid: HOLY CRAP! ...........PEEPLE!
	11:02am bobdoesthings: @chris m - I concur!
	♥ 11:05am Cheyenne: Ooo, is this bio-dome where you're broadcasting from today, Chris? It looks pretty snazzy.
	♥ 11:06am Greg from Bloomfield: @Cheyenne: If you look closely you can see Pauly Shore cavorting about!
	♥ 11:08am common: hee, greg
	11:10am P-90: @Marcel: Greg from Bloomfield is right, you really hit on something there: there really just might be a place on FMU for something like a one-hour show of actual Top Forty. A DJ with just the right touch could keep us up on what's actually popular, play what's at the top of the charts, and maybe contextualize by discussing some background on each artist, maybe play a previous track by same artist or a related track. Call it "These Darned Kids Today...!" or something.
	11:12am Chris M.: @Cheyenne @Greg from Bloomfield: i just re-watched Bio-Dome a few weeks ago and let me tell you it is NO LAUGHING MATTER.
	♥ 11:14am Marcel M: @P-90: I don't know if I could handle the burden of listening to it though.
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Get Off My Lawn'
	♥ 11:15am Greg from Bloomfield: I actually think this could be a thing! Stashu did a Top 40 show recently and it was super great.
	11:15am Chris M.: @Marcel M @P-90: it does sound like a nightmare
	♥ 11:16am Andrew Waterloo: For mainstream what would be interesting is a <3 minute show. That covers 1 song, but mostly talks over it.
	11:17am steve: DJ Stashu and friends recently did a Top 40 countdown. it was good, and merciful, because mostly they'd stop the songs after like 30 seconds.
	♥ 11:17am Andrew Waterloo: ...and the commentary is all music-nerdy biography and industry related stuff.
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Nat Roe to just go off on them...
	11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Not Your Daughter's Pop40'
	11:20am Chris from DC: Oh yes!
	11:20am fleep: Security Blanket Radio - All Covers
	♥ 11:21am Polyus: The Jim Price show, with Detroit Tigers broadcaster and former player Jim Price. One minute to ramble or make up a song about the art of pitching - it would be every bit as avant garde and confusing as WFMU's Jim Price.
	11:23am fleep: A call-out talk show, where I call people randomly instead of waiting around for them to call me.
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah, cold-calling - w/ trashy local bands covering the current Top40 disgracefully. Cold Covers.
	11:28am P-90: "...the burden of listening to it" Hahaha! Perfectly put, Marcel, I agree. In theory, though, like I said, a DJ with just the right sense of the audience she/he is breaking this bad news to, and the right, humorous way of trying to interpret its appeal and exploring how awful so much of it is and why, just might find the formula to pull it off. I heard Stashu's top forty show, and yeah, you can get away with just playing "excerpts" of some songs. Pseu Braun also deserves mention, on her Friday night show she would play some of the arguably "better" new songs, nestled amidst more "freeform-friendly" fare.
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The Burden of Listening' - w/ Nat Roe - Bending everything...because...
	11:31am MenfussMike: what the hell is this guy bitchin' about?
	♥ 11:31am Andrew Waterloo: It could be very humorous to have a bunch of 40 something culture-nerds trying to explain to other 40 something culture-nerds what their adolescent children are listening to, and trying to explain the appeal and relevance without being dismissive or snarky.
	11:34am fleep: MenfussMike - Fjords. They hate 'em.
	11:35am P-90: Another approach might be to play some current "hot" tracks, each followed by one or more tracks that were at the top of the charts in the same week in another decade: the 50's, 60's, 70s, 80s. Invite listeners to cal and discuss why the older songs were so much less crappy, and whether rock/pop wil ever make a comeback. "The Decline and Fall of Top Forty".
	11:36am MenfussMike: Fleep...are you sure it's not Churches?
	11:36am Chris M.: 9 more comments to 100
	11:37am bobdoesthings: that makes me.. 92?
	11:37am Chris from DC: Currently93
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @P-90: That would be 'Get Off My Lawn'.
	11:38am Chris M.: www.meetup.com...
	11:38am fleep: Churches and fjords. Also vindaloo that isn't hot enough.
	11:40am bobdoesthings: hot 97
	11:42am Chris from DC: Good beat, easy to dance to. I give it a 98.
	11:43am paula pc: OH YES!!!!
	11:43am P-90: Anyone here going to the weenie roast meetup? @RRN63: yep, "GOML" sums it up perfectly. Someone like like Scharpling, for instance, could make it work. Maybe a pointless observation, he could make most anything work...
	♥ 11:43am Ken From Hyde Park: My show's name: Back Door to Nowhere.
	11:43am bobdoesthings: p-90 wins!!
	11:44am Chris M.: @P-90 you win! 100th comment
	11:44am paula pc: i just heard this yesterday and was thinking about the Who-esque-ness of it for the first time (or vice versa)
	11:44am P-100: Mwah ha-ha-ha
	♥ 11:46am doctorjazz: Man, haven't heard this in soooo long, Southern Rock with flute!
	11:47am Chris from DC: I just favorited Marshal Tucker. It felt a little weird.
	♥ 11:48am paul b: Curious. I woke up this morning with the song Amie by the Pure Prarrie League stuck in my head -- after breakfast I dialed it up on the YouTube. Which helpfully suggested I might want to listen to the Marshall Tucker Band next. This song in fact. Mmm good song I thought maybe later. It's always later than you think.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @paula: Yes - Townshend deffo does 'Country' licks. That means this Southern band sounds like an English band doing Country Blues pastiche. @Chris D.C.: I know but no Punk yet.
	11:50am bobdoesthings: im hungry.. gonna get an early lunch.. thanks Chris! fun show as always.
	11:52am paula pc: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - exactly right, and that's so great!!!
	11:53am Chris M.: thanks everybody!
	♥ 11:54am fred: I'm not interesting in top X, whatever the period. WFMU does a good job of keeping up with new bands. I love that because I can see them live in small venue (cheap ones too, that matters)
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There is/was some YouTube type show two Classical Brooklyn hipsters wryly analyzed Pop40 in technical musical terms...
	♥ 11:57am βrian: I'm sneaking over to the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:57am Andrew Waterloo: @fred, I tend to agree. my line on mainstream music has always been that it just doesn't interest me, and when it does I'm usually not aware that it's mainstream.
	♥ 11:58am Tome: I'll pass on the sausage ..
	11:59am P-90: Thanks, Chris. This is one of those shows that's always good, and always seems to be getting better. Have a beach-blanket week for yourself!

	♥ 11:31am Andrew Waterloo: It could be very humorous to have a bunch of 40 something culture-nerds trying to explain to other 40 something culture-nerds what their adolescent children are listening to, and trying to explain the appeal and relevance without being dismissive or snarky.
	11:34am fleep: MenfussMike - Fjords. They hate 'em.
	11:35am P-90: Another approach might be to play some current "hot" tracks, each followed by one or more tracks that were at the top of the charts in the same week in another decade: the 50's, 60's, 70s, 80s. Invite listeners to cal and discuss why the older songs were so much less crappy, and whether rock/pop wil ever make a comeback. "The Decline and Fall of Top Forty".
	11:36am MenfussMike: Fleep...are you sure it's not Churches?
	11:36am Chris M.: 9 more comments to 100
	11:37am bobdoesthings: that makes me.. 92?
	11:37am Chris from DC: Currently93
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @P-90: That would be 'Get Off My Lawn'.
	11:38am Chris M.: www.meetup.com...
	11:38am fleep: Churches and fjords. Also vindaloo that isn't hot enough.
	11:40am bobdoesthings: hot 97
	11:42am Chris from DC: Good beat, easy to dance to. I give it a 98.
	11:43am paula pc: OH YES!!!!
	11:43am P-90: Anyone here going to the weenie roast meetup? @RRN63: yep, "GOML" sums it up perfectly. Someone like like Scharpling, for instance, could make it work. Maybe a pointless observation, he could make most anything work...
	♥ 11:43am Ken From Hyde Park: My show's name: Back Door to Nowhere.
	11:43am bobdoesthings: p-90 wins!!
	11:44am Chris M.: @P-90 you win! 100th comment
	11:44am paula pc: i just heard this yesterday and was thinking about the Who-esque-ness of it for the first time (or vice versa)
	11:44am P-100: Mwah ha-ha-ha
	♥ 11:46am doctorjazz: Man, haven't heard this in soooo long, Southern Rock with flute!
	11:47am Chris from DC: I just favorited Marshal Tucker. It felt a little weird.
	♥ 11:48am paul b: Curious. I woke up this morning with the song Amie by the Pure Prarrie League stuck in my head -- after breakfast I dialed it up on the YouTube. Which helpfully suggested I might want to listen to the Marshall Tucker Band next. This song in fact. Mmm good song I thought maybe later. It's always later than you think.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @paula: Yes - Townshend deffo does 'Country' licks. That means this Southern band sounds like an English band doing Country Blues pastiche. @Chris D.C.: I know but no Punk yet.
	11:50am bobdoesthings: im hungry.. gonna get an early lunch.. thanks Chris! fun show as always.
	11:52am paula pc: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - exactly right, and that's so great!!!
	11:53am Chris M.: thanks everybody!
	♥ 11:54am fred: I'm not interesting in top X, whatever the period. WFMU does a good job of keeping up with new bands. I love that because I can see them live in small venue (cheap ones too, that matters)
	11:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There is/was some YouTube type show two Classical Brooklyn hipsters wryly analyzed Pop40 in technical musical terms...
	♥ 11:57am βrian: I'm sneaking over to the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:57am Andrew Waterloo: @fred, I tend to agree. my line on mainstream music has always been that it just doesn't interest me, and when it does I'm usually not aware that it's mainstream.
	♥ 11:58am Tome: I'll pass on the sausage ..
	11:59am P-90: Thanks, Chris. This is one of those shows that's always good, and always seems to be getting better. Have a beach-blanket week for yourself!
