Listener comments!
	♥ 5:00pm listener james from westwood: w00t—mega-Bodega!
	5:00pm Gary: James!
	♥ 5:03pm melinda: Bodegathon!
	♥ 5:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Sounds like it will be epic, Gary! (I'll be back next week!)
	5:05pm Gary: Melinda! Kenzo! Nice to see you guys
	♥ 5:06pm northguineahills: (Googles furiously for an Ethiopian restaurant nearby)
	5:07pm Gary: NGH!
	♥ 5:11pm northguineahills: One of the best Ethiopian restaurants I've been to was in South Orange, NJ. I was there for work, and had an hour to kill before the next train came to take me back to the city. Two blocks from the train station, was the best Ethiopian restaurant I had the pleasure of eating at outside of Adams Morgan, DC.
	♥ 5:12pm Stanley: I was just about to settle in with my new Upper Volta box set when, hey, it's all happening live. Here and Now.
	5:13pm Gary: Stanley! Is that the Numero Group set?
	5:13pm Gary: I can't remember the best Ethiopian resto I've been to, but it was probably in Adams Morgan
	♥ 5:15pm Stanley: @Gary: it is, indeed. Bobo Yeye - La Belle Epoque
	5:16pm Gary: That's a freaking great collection!
	🇰🇷 5:17pm weinstein: Where do you go for Ethiopian food in NYC? I've never been to one that matched my own DC experience. (And yay Gary!)
	5:18pm Gary: There was a great place in Brookyln, David, but I can't remember now exactly where it was ... Fort Greene, maybe?
	♥ 5:20pm Stanley: @Gary: Just cracked the seal this evening but it'll have to wait. I remember buying a few of these Éthiopiques CDs back then. Mahmoud Ahmed comes to mind. Mustn't go check as my partner is asleep in the bedroom.
	♥ 5:23pm northguineahills: I'm a light sleeper, but my wife is a very heavy sleeper. I'd come home w/ friends while she was asleep, put on Merzbow or Richie Hawtin on full volume, and she'd have no clue the next morning. (wish I could sleep like that).
	♥ 5:23pm melinda: Talk of Ethiopian food reminds me that I want to try making my own injera with teff flour. I've just started experimenting with gluten-free sourdoughs.
	♥ 5:27pm northguineahills: Amhara is the province where the rock-hewn churches are in Lalibela, Ethiopia. On my bucket list!
	♥ 5:29pm northguineahills: Wow, I remember the first Ethiopiques I picked out was vol 8 in 2000. Can't believe they started in '98.
	♥ 5:31pm northguineahills: Speaking of.....
	♥ 5:32pm Stanley: Swinging Addis indeedy
	5:43pm Gary: Double-checking on Discogs and it looks like Ethiopiques released the first two volumes in 1997
	5:45pm geezerette: Hello, Gary & shoppers! How exciting!
	5:46pm Gary: Gezerette!
	♥ 5:48pm Stanley: Unmistakably Mahmoud
	♥ 5:54pm northguineahills: I love how the piano is tuned....
	♥ 5:55pm melinda: That piano really was beautiful.
	5:55pm geezerette: Ethereal piano,agree!
	6:04pm Dean: That there's Amharic script. I tried to teach myself Amharic, oh, thirty years ago. Lasted about a week.
	6:06pm Gary: Dean! It's a syllabary, like Hindi, yeah? Seems like, but not sure
	6:09pm Dean: You are correct, but it's not like I remembered even that fundamental characteristic!
	♥ 6:12pm Stanley: Damnation, it's past bedtime. I've clicky-ed the whole episode to come back to like some tasty treat in the fridge for later. Have fun everyone.
	6:13pm Gary: Night, Stanley!
	♥ 6:14pm northguineahills: Ethiopian is the closest remaining language to Aramaic. I think Aramaic is still a Syriac liturgical language
	♥ 6:14pm northguineahills: Forgot about clicky episode thingamabob.
	6:14pm Gary: That sounds right, NGH
	6:20pm geezerette: Arabesques.
	6:21pm geezerette: The music sounds like calligraphy.
	6:24pm Gary: It does!
	♥ 6:24pm northguineahills: I would guess the name of the next song, but this might be the last of this set.
	6:25pm Gary: You have a 50/50 chance of guessing right
	6:29pm geezerette: Funny how that sounds like a banjo, or versa.
	♥ 6:33pm Artie: What is the meaning of "Mèla Mèla"?
	6:37pm Gary: Hi Artie! Maybe "peace"? I actually looked it up but can't remember now
	♥ 6:39pm Artie: The sound of it repeated in song was just so hypnotic. My mind was filling in "phenom-e-non" until I looked up to see the song title.
	6:41pm Gary: Heh ... I was looking around to see what I could find about it ... might not actually be a Girma Bèyènè song ...
	♥ 6:48pm hyde: what in th-
	♥ 6:48pm listener james from westwood: What a ride so far! And three more hours ahead! Be sure to hydrate and stretch!
	6:49pm Gary: Hyde! Yeah, right -- gotta go get some water now, come to think of it -- Thanks, James!
	6:51pm Gary: "Mèla Mèla" probably does not mean peace, now that I'm thinking about it.
	♥ 6:58pm melinda: This kind of reminds me of an old-time folk tune or hymn.
	6:58pm Gary: Totally
	♥ 7:01pm melinda: But longer and hypnotic.
	♥ 7:02pm hyde: looking forward to hour 5 when Gary starts to hallucinate
	♥ 7:03pm Artie: *STARTS?!?!*
	♥ 7:03pm northguineahills: I'm so entranced, I forgot to leave work!
	♥ 7:03pm melinda: @hyde haha
	7:05pm Gary: I'll be back with you guys after the visions end
	♥ 7:13pm northguineahills: Down here in FL it's hitting peak winter already, it's supposed get down to 44F/7C tonight.
	7:15pm Gary: Wow, that's cold for Florida!
	7:17pm geezerette: Song reminds me of several American pop hits. Ancient tunes persist. (previous track)
	♥ 7:17pm northguineahills: Yeah, maybe in January we'll get down to freezing 1-3 times, bu then two days later it will be in 80sF/30sC I have this song done by a male Ethiopian vocalist (also on an Ethiopiques comp)
	7:18pm geezerette: NGH, it was 104 in LA yesterday. Today it's cooled off to 98.
	♥ 7:23pm northguineahills: It hasn't hit triple digits since July here, once it got to 105, but the humidity made it interesting.
	7:24pm Gary: Lots of these songs get different versions by different artists it seems
	7:27pm geezerette: NGH, I'd need a snorkle.
	7:29pm geezerette: Love this pop, addictive vocals.
	♥ 7:29pm northguineahills: I believe this also on an Ethiopiques
	7:30pm Gary: Probably a higher quality rip, if so, NGH!
	♥ 7:42pm northguineahills: Ok, I really need to leave work. Ciaosers everyone, see you on the other side!
	7:42pm Gary: Happy homebounding, NGH!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:53pm tim abdellah: I'll fill in for NGH from here on out. Hello Gary and All!
	7:54pm Gary: Tiiiiiim!
	♥ 8:02pm melinda: haha@ciaosers
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:04pm tim abdellah: Musikawi Silt is THE jam! Never heard this version, though - Crunchy!!
	♥ 8:08pm hyde: great show so far (tho i missed two hours)
	♥ 8:10pm hyde: the cloud copper? hallucinations might start in hour four, folks!
	8:13pm Gary: I'm seeing things as fast as I can
	♥ 8:13pm hyde: haha
	♥ 8:15pm northguineahills: Got to the store and am back home. I've spoiled my neighbors cat, and he now greets me at my front door when I get home for belly rubs. He seems to like anchovy oil.
	8:19pm Gary: Who doesn't like anchovy oil?
	8:24pm steve: hey Gary and friends
	8:24pm Gary: Steeeve!
	♥ 8:25pm hyde: @ngh aint that just like a cat
	♥ 8:29pm hyde: my cat story today goes like this: i've been in this pace a couple months, the cat here is nice and i feed him sometimes. he's gotten pretty friendly. last night, for the first time, i came home and he was asleep on my bed. aww, that's so cute, i thought. today i came home, and he had puked on my bed. sigh.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:29pm tim abdellah: That last track was cookin'!
	8:30pm Gary: Think of it as a present
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:30pm tim abdellah: @hyde - LOL!
	♥ 8:31pm northguineahills: The only good cat I had w/ me had to go b/c of the new landlord, so my roommate who was moving out got him, I still got visitation rights. I've lost a few keyboards to a certain roommate's cat who liked to puke on it.
	8:36pm Gary: For some weird reason, my cat never pukes. Not even hairballs. Not one hairball in like 3 years
	♥ 8:44pm hyde: @Gary wow, that's a good cat. just about every cat i've ever had has been some kind of pukebucket.
	8:46pm Gary: Ezra's an anomaly
	8:48pm steve: well i might as well join this conversation: the one flaw of one of my two cats is that she will eat until she throws up... i have to let her eat for 2-3 minutes then go over and pet her and slow her down. i don't understand how she could not have learned not to do this by now, just for her own sake.
	8:49pm Gary: I hate to laugh at that image, but it cracks me up for some reason. Good for you for intervening, Steve!
	8:51pm steve: haha shes such a sweet innocent well meaning creature its almost funny how stupid it is
	♥ 8:51pm hyde: @steve ha. somehow that sort of thing does not surprise me.
	♥ 8:55pm coelacanth∅: What?! What!!! What?!? i'vw missed 4 hours of ethiopian music?!!
	♥ 8:55pm coelacanth∅: crap! crap.
	8:56pm Gary: But, coelacanth∅, you're here for the last hour!
	♥ 8:56pm coelacanth∅: ......hi Gary and all
	8:57pm Gary: Welcome!
	♥ 8:58pm coelacanth∅: true. thank you. and there's the archive. i just need to listen to it while it's still good sound quality, before it's only available as the pop-up player.
	8:59pm steve: man i haven't had ethiopian food in forever
	♥ 9:01pm hyde: just had a new Ethiopian place open in the next town over from where i spend my weekends. must investigate.
	9:02pm Gary: Sweet
	♥ 9:02pm hyde: @coel hiya. glad you made it.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:07pm tim abdellah: Dammit. I'm being sucked into the World Series, which is pretty compelling. Catch up with ya in the archives!
	9:08pm steve: Gary do you have any nyc Ethiopian food recs?
	9:08pm Gary: Happy Seriesing, Tim!
	9:09pm Gary: It's been a long time since I've had any in New York, but I remember there was this great place in Brooklyn ... I'll try and Yelp it in a moment ...
	♥ 9:10pm coelacanth∅: howdy hyde!
	♥ 9:12pm coelacanth∅: there used to be very good ethiopian places on the upper west side, but i'm talking decades ago. i'm totally out of touch with nyc now, even though i work within 45 minutes of it.
	9:13pm steve: theres apparently a newish vegan ethiopian place somewhere in brooklyn, im curious how authentic that is.
	9:14pm Gary: www.yelp.com...
	♥ 9:14pm northguineahills: There's a decent place at MacDougal St & Minetta Ln in the Village.
	9:15pm steve: thanks Gary!
	9:16pm Gary: Bunna Cafe is the vegan place. I think the place I went to was Ghenet
	9:16pm steve: ok i just realized i went to Ghenet years ago... yeah it was really good!
	♥ 9:18pm northguineahills: I think it was called Meskerem. It's where I went when Addis came calling. It's not Adams Morgan good, but still plenty good.
	9:19pm Gary: I think I've been to Meskerem, NGH, but years ago
	9:21pm steve: oh right yep that place is still there ngh, i work two blocks away... its so small on the outside and half underground i forget its even there. i did like it when i last ate there probably 5+ years ago.
	♥ 9:27pm coelacanth∅: this psyches me up. i'm a few electrical connections away from being able to listen to my (non-computer file) music collection again. if i stay up late i can listen to my Aster Aweke tapes tonight!
	♥ 9:29pm coelacanth∅: there are dj premiums and albums i won last marathon that i've never even listened to, because of technical difficulties.
	9:30pm Gary: Y ... you got Aster Aweke t-t-tapes, C?
	♥ 9:30pm hyde: @coel go for it! i miss my analog setup. hoping to get mine back up soon too.
	♥ 9:38pm coelacanth∅: ...yeah, my volume control on my receiver would suddenly turn itself up - all the way! so i jammed a hunk of wood in there at 1/2 way up and only listen to sources that have their own output control. i still cannot afford to have it fixed, but i suddenly realized i could use my emergency back up amp if i ran the speaker wires through junction box, which i already owned. i just had to buy some rca connectors - which i just got in the mail. (so i have 2 amplifiers, hooked up to different components)
	♥ 9:39pm coelacanth∅: Gary, just her first 2 albums. (direct from shanachie, back in the day)
	9:40pm Gary: Larry's up in 20 mins with Windy City People and Chitown Hustlers on Testify!: wfmu.org...
	9:41pm Meghan: Ohhhh yay! I get to catch a bit of this tonight!
	9:41pm Ike: Been digging this show, but have not had a chance to comment until now! I'll have to hit the archive later for the parts I've missed.
	9:41pm Meghan: same here Ike!
	9:42pm Meghan: especially for the Méla Méla set....
	9:42pm Gary: Meghan, Ike! Welcome!
	♥ 9:55pm hyde: the 3/5 of this show that i heard were crazy good. THANKS
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:56pm Doug Schulkind: Heartmelting! Hello, Gary and Ethiofaithful!
	9:56pm Gary: Thank you for hanging out, Hyde!
	9:57pm Gary: Douuug!
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: i do not know why music from this region of the planet speaks to me so profoundly. it melts me. if i could i'd go to ethiopia and maybe find out.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm Doug Schulkind: Been listening and lurking. So massively fantastic, Gary. Do they award Pulitzers to radio shows?
	♥ 9:58pm coelacanth∅: ha, Doug! ("heartmelting"...yes.)
	9:58pm Meghan: wonderful job Gary!!! and wonderful job doing a 5 hour set!!!! Amazing!
	9:59pm geezerette: What incredible music! Spectacular show Gary,five hours zoomed!
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Gary. Stellar!
	♥ 10:00pm northguineahills: Thanks Gary!
	10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!
	4:41pm Luis: I am sorry that I missed the show last night but I am looking forward to the archive. Thanks for putting it together.

	♥ 5:03pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Sounds like it will be epic, Gary! (I'll be back next week!)
	5:05pm Gary: Melinda! Kenzo! Nice to see you guys
	♥ 5:06pm northguineahills: (Googles furiously for an Ethiopian restaurant nearby)
	5:07pm Gary: NGH!
	♥ 5:11pm northguineahills: One of the best Ethiopian restaurants I've been to was in South Orange, NJ. I was there for work, and had an hour to kill before the next train came to take me back to the city. Two blocks from the train station, was the best Ethiopian restaurant I had the pleasure of eating at outside of Adams Morgan, DC.
	♥ 5:12pm Stanley: I was just about to settle in with my new Upper Volta box set when, hey, it's all happening live. Here and Now.
	5:13pm Gary: Stanley! Is that the Numero Group set?
	5:13pm Gary: I can't remember the best Ethiopian resto I've been to, but it was probably in Adams Morgan
	♥ 5:15pm Stanley: @Gary: it is, indeed. Bobo Yeye - La Belle Epoque
	5:16pm Gary: That's a freaking great collection!
	🇰🇷 5:17pm weinstein: Where do you go for Ethiopian food in NYC? I've never been to one that matched my own DC experience. (And yay Gary!)
	5:18pm Gary: There was a great place in Brookyln, David, but I can't remember now exactly where it was ... Fort Greene, maybe?
	♥ 5:20pm Stanley: @Gary: Just cracked the seal this evening but it'll have to wait. I remember buying a few of these Éthiopiques CDs back then. Mahmoud Ahmed comes to mind. Mustn't go check as my partner is asleep in the bedroom.
	♥ 5:23pm northguineahills: I'm a light sleeper, but my wife is a very heavy sleeper. I'd come home w/ friends while she was asleep, put on Merzbow or Richie Hawtin on full volume, and she'd have no clue the next morning. (wish I could sleep like that).
	♥ 5:23pm melinda: Talk of Ethiopian food reminds me that I want to try making my own injera with teff flour. I've just started experimenting with gluten-free sourdoughs.
	♥ 5:27pm northguineahills: Amhara is the province where the rock-hewn churches are in Lalibela, Ethiopia. On my bucket list!
	♥ 5:29pm northguineahills: Wow, I remember the first Ethiopiques I picked out was vol 8 in 2000. Can't believe they started in '98.
	♥ 5:31pm northguineahills: Speaking of.....
	♥ 5:32pm Stanley: Swinging Addis indeedy
	5:43pm Gary: Double-checking on Discogs and it looks like Ethiopiques released the first two volumes in 1997
	5:45pm geezerette: Hello, Gary & shoppers! How exciting!
	5:46pm Gary: Gezerette!
	♥ 5:48pm Stanley: Unmistakably Mahmoud
	♥ 5:54pm northguineahills: I love how the piano is tuned....
	♥ 5:55pm melinda: That piano really was beautiful.
	5:55pm geezerette: Ethereal piano,agree!
	6:04pm Dean: That there's Amharic script. I tried to teach myself Amharic, oh, thirty years ago. Lasted about a week.
	6:06pm Gary: Dean! It's a syllabary, like Hindi, yeah? Seems like, but not sure
	6:09pm Dean: You are correct, but it's not like I remembered even that fundamental characteristic!
	♥ 6:12pm Stanley: Damnation, it's past bedtime. I've clicky-ed the whole episode to come back to like some tasty treat in the fridge for later. Have fun everyone.
	6:13pm Gary: Night, Stanley!
	♥ 6:14pm northguineahills: Ethiopian is the closest remaining language to Aramaic. I think Aramaic is still a Syriac liturgical language
	♥ 6:14pm northguineahills: Forgot about clicky episode thingamabob.
	6:14pm Gary: That sounds right, NGH
	6:20pm geezerette: Arabesques.
	6:21pm geezerette: The music sounds like calligraphy.
	6:24pm Gary: It does!
	♥ 6:24pm northguineahills: I would guess the name of the next song, but this might be the last of this set.
	6:25pm Gary: You have a 50/50 chance of guessing right
	6:29pm geezerette: Funny how that sounds like a banjo, or versa.
	♥ 6:33pm Artie: What is the meaning of "Mèla Mèla"?
	6:37pm Gary: Hi Artie! Maybe "peace"? I actually looked it up but can't remember now
	♥ 6:39pm Artie: The sound of it repeated in song was just so hypnotic. My mind was filling in "phenom-e-non" until I looked up to see the song title.
	6:41pm Gary: Heh ... I was looking around to see what I could find about it ... might not actually be a Girma Bèyènè song ...
	♥ 6:48pm hyde: what in th-
	♥ 6:48pm listener james from westwood: What a ride so far! And three more hours ahead! Be sure to hydrate and stretch!
	6:49pm Gary: Hyde! Yeah, right -- gotta go get some water now, come to think of it -- Thanks, James!
	6:51pm Gary: "Mèla Mèla" probably does not mean peace, now that I'm thinking about it.
	♥ 6:58pm melinda: This kind of reminds me of an old-time folk tune or hymn.
	6:58pm Gary: Totally
	♥ 7:01pm melinda: But longer and hypnotic.
	♥ 7:02pm hyde: looking forward to hour 5 when Gary starts to hallucinate
	♥ 7:03pm Artie: *STARTS?!?!*
	♥ 7:03pm northguineahills: I'm so entranced, I forgot to leave work!
	♥ 7:03pm melinda: @hyde haha
	7:05pm Gary: I'll be back with you guys after the visions end
	♥ 7:13pm northguineahills: Down here in FL it's hitting peak winter already, it's supposed get down to 44F/7C tonight.
	7:15pm Gary: Wow, that's cold for Florida!
	7:17pm geezerette: Song reminds me of several American pop hits. Ancient tunes persist. (previous track)
	♥ 7:17pm northguineahills: Yeah, maybe in January we'll get down to freezing 1-3 times, bu then two days later it will be in 80sF/30sC I have this song done by a male Ethiopian vocalist (also on an Ethiopiques comp)
	7:18pm geezerette: NGH, it was 104 in LA yesterday. Today it's cooled off to 98.
	♥ 7:23pm northguineahills: It hasn't hit triple digits since July here, once it got to 105, but the humidity made it interesting.
	7:24pm Gary: Lots of these songs get different versions by different artists it seems
	7:27pm geezerette: NGH, I'd need a snorkle.
	7:29pm geezerette: Love this pop, addictive vocals.
	♥ 7:29pm northguineahills: I believe this also on an Ethiopiques
	7:30pm Gary: Probably a higher quality rip, if so, NGH!
	♥ 7:42pm northguineahills: Ok, I really need to leave work. Ciaosers everyone, see you on the other side!
	7:42pm Gary: Happy homebounding, NGH!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:53pm tim abdellah: I'll fill in for NGH from here on out. Hello Gary and All!
	7:54pm Gary: Tiiiiiim!
	♥ 8:02pm melinda: haha@ciaosers
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:04pm tim abdellah: Musikawi Silt is THE jam! Never heard this version, though - Crunchy!!
	♥ 8:08pm hyde: great show so far (tho i missed two hours)
	♥ 8:10pm hyde: the cloud copper? hallucinations might start in hour four, folks!
	8:13pm Gary: I'm seeing things as fast as I can
	♥ 8:13pm hyde: haha
	♥ 8:15pm northguineahills: Got to the store and am back home. I've spoiled my neighbors cat, and he now greets me at my front door when I get home for belly rubs. He seems to like anchovy oil.
	8:19pm Gary: Who doesn't like anchovy oil?
	8:24pm steve: hey Gary and friends
	8:24pm Gary: Steeeve!
	♥ 8:25pm hyde: @ngh aint that just like a cat
	♥ 8:29pm hyde: my cat story today goes like this: i've been in this pace a couple months, the cat here is nice and i feed him sometimes. he's gotten pretty friendly. last night, for the first time, i came home and he was asleep on my bed. aww, that's so cute, i thought. today i came home, and he had puked on my bed. sigh.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:29pm tim abdellah: That last track was cookin'!
	8:30pm Gary: Think of it as a present
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:30pm tim abdellah: @hyde - LOL!
	♥ 8:31pm northguineahills: The only good cat I had w/ me had to go b/c of the new landlord, so my roommate who was moving out got him, I still got visitation rights. I've lost a few keyboards to a certain roommate's cat who liked to puke on it.
	8:36pm Gary: For some weird reason, my cat never pukes. Not even hairballs. Not one hairball in like 3 years
	♥ 8:44pm hyde: @Gary wow, that's a good cat. just about every cat i've ever had has been some kind of pukebucket.
	8:46pm Gary: Ezra's an anomaly
	8:48pm steve: well i might as well join this conversation: the one flaw of one of my two cats is that she will eat until she throws up... i have to let her eat for 2-3 minutes then go over and pet her and slow her down. i don't understand how she could not have learned not to do this by now, just for her own sake.
	8:49pm Gary: I hate to laugh at that image, but it cracks me up for some reason. Good for you for intervening, Steve!
	8:51pm steve: haha shes such a sweet innocent well meaning creature its almost funny how stupid it is
	♥ 8:51pm hyde: @steve ha. somehow that sort of thing does not surprise me.
	♥ 8:55pm coelacanth∅: What?! What!!! What?!? i'vw missed 4 hours of ethiopian music?!!
	♥ 8:55pm coelacanth∅: crap! crap.
	8:56pm Gary: But, coelacanth∅, you're here for the last hour!
	♥ 8:56pm coelacanth∅: ......hi Gary and all
	8:57pm Gary: Welcome!
	♥ 8:58pm coelacanth∅: true. thank you. and there's the archive. i just need to listen to it while it's still good sound quality, before it's only available as the pop-up player.
	8:59pm steve: man i haven't had ethiopian food in forever
	♥ 9:01pm hyde: just had a new Ethiopian place open in the next town over from where i spend my weekends. must investigate.
	9:02pm Gary: Sweet
	♥ 9:02pm hyde: @coel hiya. glad you made it.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:07pm tim abdellah: Dammit. I'm being sucked into the World Series, which is pretty compelling. Catch up with ya in the archives!
	9:08pm steve: Gary do you have any nyc Ethiopian food recs?
	9:08pm Gary: Happy Seriesing, Tim!
	9:09pm Gary: It's been a long time since I've had any in New York, but I remember there was this great place in Brooklyn ... I'll try and Yelp it in a moment ...
	♥ 9:10pm coelacanth∅: howdy hyde!
	♥ 9:12pm coelacanth∅: there used to be very good ethiopian places on the upper west side, but i'm talking decades ago. i'm totally out of touch with nyc now, even though i work within 45 minutes of it.
	9:13pm steve: theres apparently a newish vegan ethiopian place somewhere in brooklyn, im curious how authentic that is.
	9:14pm Gary: www.yelp.com...
	♥ 9:14pm northguineahills: There's a decent place at MacDougal St & Minetta Ln in the Village.
	9:15pm steve: thanks Gary!
	9:16pm Gary: Bunna Cafe is the vegan place. I think the place I went to was Ghenet
	9:16pm steve: ok i just realized i went to Ghenet years ago... yeah it was really good!
	♥ 9:18pm northguineahills: I think it was called Meskerem. It's where I went when Addis came calling. It's not Adams Morgan good, but still plenty good.
	9:19pm Gary: I think I've been to Meskerem, NGH, but years ago
	9:21pm steve: oh right yep that place is still there ngh, i work two blocks away... its so small on the outside and half underground i forget its even there. i did like it when i last ate there probably 5+ years ago.
	♥ 9:27pm coelacanth∅: this psyches me up. i'm a few electrical connections away from being able to listen to my (non-computer file) music collection again. if i stay up late i can listen to my Aster Aweke tapes tonight!
	♥ 9:29pm coelacanth∅: there are dj premiums and albums i won last marathon that i've never even listened to, because of technical difficulties.
	9:30pm Gary: Y ... you got Aster Aweke t-t-tapes, C?
	♥ 9:30pm hyde: @coel go for it! i miss my analog setup. hoping to get mine back up soon too.
	♥ 9:38pm coelacanth∅: ...yeah, my volume control on my receiver would suddenly turn itself up - all the way! so i jammed a hunk of wood in there at 1/2 way up and only listen to sources that have their own output control. i still cannot afford to have it fixed, but i suddenly realized i could use my emergency back up amp if i ran the speaker wires through junction box, which i already owned. i just had to buy some rca connectors - which i just got in the mail. (so i have 2 amplifiers, hooked up to different components)
	♥ 9:39pm coelacanth∅: Gary, just her first 2 albums. (direct from shanachie, back in the day)
	9:40pm Gary: Larry's up in 20 mins with Windy City People and Chitown Hustlers on Testify!: wfmu.org...
	9:41pm Meghan: Ohhhh yay! I get to catch a bit of this tonight!
	9:41pm Ike: Been digging this show, but have not had a chance to comment until now! I'll have to hit the archive later for the parts I've missed.
	9:41pm Meghan: same here Ike!
	9:42pm Meghan: especially for the Méla Méla set....
	9:42pm Gary: Meghan, Ike! Welcome!
	♥ 9:55pm hyde: the 3/5 of this show that i heard were crazy good. THANKS
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:56pm Doug Schulkind: Heartmelting! Hello, Gary and Ethiofaithful!
	9:56pm Gary: Thank you for hanging out, Hyde!
	9:57pm Gary: Douuug!
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: i do not know why music from this region of the planet speaks to me so profoundly. it melts me. if i could i'd go to ethiopia and maybe find out.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm Doug Schulkind: Been listening and lurking. So massively fantastic, Gary. Do they award Pulitzers to radio shows?
	♥ 9:58pm coelacanth∅: ha, Doug! ("heartmelting"...yes.)
	9:58pm Meghan: wonderful job Gary!!! and wonderful job doing a 5 hour set!!!! Amazing!
	9:59pm geezerette: What incredible music! Spectacular show Gary,five hours zoomed!
