	3:02pm Sem: Oh, yah. Hello, Larry, Erica.
	3:02pm Erica: I always wanted to say that on YouTube haha!
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: Erica!
	3:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	3:03pm John from NP: Fifth isn't a thing.
	3:03pm John from NP: Hi Larry
	3:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey John!
	3:03pm coelacanth∅: Bam, right on!
	3:04pm Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	🥁 3:04pm dutchtheo: Konnichiwa a go go, Larry and testifiers
	3:05pm fred: Hello Larry and all. I'm not often tuning in to this show, but these are weird times
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Theo!
	3:05pm Funky16Corners: Hey Fred!
	3:06pm Funky16Corners: Weird show for weird times!
	3:06pm Julie: oooh Japanese show! I played Jullen I think they were Japanese
	3:07pm Funky16Corners: Hi Julie!
	3:08pm Julie: hiya!
	3:08pm fred: Were The Spiders and Spiders different bands?
	3:08pm Funky16Corners: No, same guys, bad typing
	3:10pm Julie: Lotta guys in that band
	3:11pm Funky16Corners: Some of the Japanese Group Sounds bands had seven or eight members. Lots of guitars!
	3:12pm fred: Could have happened, even with the same guys. Recording for a different label under a slightly different name
	3:12pm Funky16Corners: True that.
	3:13pm Funky16Corners: The arrangement on this one reminds me of the Bee Gees from around the same time
	3:13pm Erica: Like the Jpop and Kpop groups of today Larry. Haha!
	3:14pm Funky16Corners: Except I have yet to see any of those groups with instruments!
	3:15pm coelacanth∅: it reminded me of some moody blues song
	3:15pm Erica: True that. Haha! Then again times have changed since the 60s Larry.
	3:15pm Funky16Corners: Yes, similar vibe
	3:19pm John from NP: Sweet, looking forward to learning a little something today.
	3:22pm fred: @Larry@3:14: maybe you should consider yourself lucky
	3:22pm Phillippe Bastille: howdy
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Phillippe!
	3:22pm Funky16Corners: @Fred - I suspect you are correct
	🥁 3:29pm Brian in UK: Hello Larry and Osaka Sound Seekers. I see you just played the Fab Seven.
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey Brian!
	3:30pm Funky16Corners: The fuzz on this one is killer!
	3:31pm doctorjazz: Hi folks!
	3:31pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	3:34pm fred: Then again Sex Pistols were kind of a boys band and Lydon proved better than that (pack of controversial opinions right there)
	3:35pm ParUbi: Like how heavy this one is getting
	3:35pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, this is a real freak out
	3:38pm Funky16Corners: @Fred - I was discussing the prefab nature of the Sex Pistols with my son the other day, comparing them with musically important bands like the Damned and the Clash (all starting when Captain Sensible's 'Wot' came on the radio
	3:39pm coelacanth∅: fred, i'll just say that john lydon is very lucky we've ever heard of him
	3:40pm Phillippe Bastille: Pretty much anything Malcolm McLaren touched was prefab
	3:41pm coelacanth∅: hey Phillippe
	3:41pm Funky16Corners: I was telling him how genuinely terrified some US officials were of the Pistols coming over here
	3:41pm ParUbi: early PiL is really worth it
	3:42pm Erica: It's unusual that the Pistols are more memorable than Lydon's other band Public Image Ltd. and PIL released more material.
	3:42pm fred: PiL opened my eyes in my high school years
	3:43pm Funky16Corners: PiL were a band. The Sex Pistols were a calculated provocation with a couple of excellent songs
	3:44pm doctorjazz: Bought some One Culture Foods Ramen Noodles (Vietnamese Been Pho and Chinese Chicken Noodle), big hit in my family!
	3:44pm Funky16Corners: We got a bunch of those!I Had the spicy ramen for lunch!
	3:44pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey coel. McLaren was one of those dudes that over-fertilized. Stuff grew like crazy at first because he dumped a lot of manure on it. Soon stuff started dying on the vine, figuratively and literally, however
	3:45pm fred: (PiL also got me kicked out of my own birthday party, down a slippery slope that eventually led to this station)
	3:45pm coelacanth∅: in my opinion, lowly though it may be, p.i.l. was good, very good, mainly because of the music -which lydon had little to do with. his lyrics were/are unremarkable and not much else going on there. just a guy with opinions and an overblown sense of self-importance.
	3:46pm Phillippe Bastille: ok Fred, that you gotta explain
	3:46pm Funky16Corners: Yeah, really.
	3:46pm Erica: It means Fred lost his mind. Haha!
	3:47pm Erica: Or he became obsessed with WFMU.
	3:48pm Doug Schulkind: I don't like spiders and snakes, but that ain't what it takes to love you, Larrry.
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: great version!
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	3:49pm Hubig Pie: You're being too harsh , they had 3 excellent songs. GSTQ, Holiday in the Sun and Anarchy in the UK. If you watch The Filth and the Fury , you can see they were actually quite good. (Sid Vicious excepted)
	3:49pm Funky16Corners: @Doug - Is that your way of requesting a Jim Stafford retrospective?
	3:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Hubig Pie!
	3:51pm Doug Schulkind: @Funky16Corners My only request is that you do you. I'll be happy with the results.
	3:51pm fred: @PB: Well, it was also a girl's birthday in my class, which is why people showed up. Given a chance to play a track (because it was my birthday), I chose Four Enclosed Walls. I was shown the door. Worth it
	3:53pm Erica: Was it your house or someone else's? Because why would someone kick you out of your own house?
	3:53pm Phillippe Bastille: @fred nice! well-earned!
	3:53pm coelacanth∅: H Pie and pretty vacant
	3:54pm Hubig Pie: C-lo, Doh !
	3:54pm Doug Schulkind: @fred Did you hear about Irene Trudel?! She has found a home on the Drummer Stream. Mondays, 12-3pm (et), beginning this coming Monday.
	3:55pm fred: Also, I think my first step on that slope was Kate Bush. I was introduced to her music (this is true) by a group of metalhead bikers who swore by Metallica until they got out of sight and played Kate Bush when drunk and high enough
	3:57pm fred: @Erica: Her (other birthday girl) house. I have never lived in a house @Doug: I heard, and I'm so happy about that
	3:58pm John from NP: Was just gonna say, adult film title!
	3:58pm ParUbi: I'll say that I'm very uninterested in any music project that Lydon is involved with now. I think part of the luck being spoken of here was hooking up with Martin Atkins
	4:00pm jazz upholsterer: hey there great show always! what was the time on the disco show you mentioned? always wonder where the list of upcoming shows on the alternate steams can be found, is that a thing?
	4:00pm ParUbi: and Keith Levene
	4:01pm Funky16Corners: @Jazzupholsterer - Tomorrow 3-7 Eastern
	4:01pm Erica: Figured Fred. Where did you live then?
	4:03pm fred: @Erica: Not sure what you mean. Geographically, in the southern suburbs of Paris, as I still do (but closer to the city)
	4:05pm Erica: I meant did you live in an apartment building or something like that? That's all.
	4:06pm fred: I liked that Mieko Hirota track
	4:07pm Funky16Corners: It's a cover/adaptation of Marva Whitney's 'Unwind Yourself'
	4:07pm coelacanth∅: Ubi yes, lucky there too, but he had to have been extraordinarily lucky before that to have had the opportunity to make those acquaintances. (in other words -malcolm mclaren)
	4:07pm fred: @Erica: yeah, apartment building
	4:08pm coelacanth∅: ...as mclaren was to have the talents of Steve Jones and Paul Cook at his disposal.
	4:10pm fred: @ParUbi and coel: at some point getting lucky enough times points at something different than luck
	4:10pm Erica: Thanks Fred. Sorry about what happened at that party.
	4:11pm Funky16Corners: McLaren was a canny manipulator of public sentiment and the press. Fortunately he restricted his abuses to fashion and entertainment
	4:14pm Funky16Corners: BTW These are two sides of the same 45
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: fred, absolutely. lydon, though maybe not on the level of mclaren, is also skilled at manipulation of public sentiment.
	4:15pm Funky16Corners: Lydon is basically the UR version of the modern media troll. He enjoy fucking with people
	4:16pm fred: @Erica: Don't be sorry, I'm not. It was a break from the high school mold. I even got a reverse experience of sort a few years later, when my second shot at choosing a track at a party went to Steve Reich's Drumming, and everybody went wild. Some people even talked to me after that. The popularity lasted days (as in two)
	4:19pm Erica: Cool Fred. Still you never forget the first time.
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: I'm pretty sure he's mixing traditional Japanese drums with a drum set here
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: Ah! He is! Kisaku Katada - "Japanese traditional nagauta percussionist. Appointed as a Living National Treasure by the Japanese state in 1999."
	4:30pm fred: That was nice indeed
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: I have to up the number of records in my collection featuring Living National Treasures
	4:39pm fred: Larry, the good thing about records is that no-longer-living National Treasures also count. Records can bring their talent to those who were born too late to witness it firsthand
	4:40pm ParUbi: That's part of the fun, the VOICES OF THE DEAD
	🥁 4:41pm WR: Hi folks. Listening while working so can't keep up with commenting. Fun show Larry. Thank you.
	4:42pm ParUbi: This is definitely one to download from the archives
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR!
	4:44pm ParUbi: @Larry @4:15-- yeah, his recent political comments have been... hard to take
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: @ParUbi - That's the heart of it. A weekly seance of sorts!
	4:46pm fred: Damn, I never saw Kikagaku Moyo. When will I get to fix that now?
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: Did they break up?
	4:47pm fred: They didn't, the world did
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Ah, gotcha.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: The performance I saw was very cool. They were switching instruments and improvising. They had a cello, too
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: BTW it was on the web, not in person
	4:51pm fred: All live shows are banned until September here. At least. Not sure how many small venues will survive that
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah, going overtime again this week (just a few minutes)
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: I suspect we're in the same boat, esp here in NY/NJ. There have already been some threatened venue closures
	4:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello from the Land of Lurkdom. Wasn't near keyboards, but listening. Thanks for another nice un.StereoLab vibe here.
	4:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin! Yes, there are a number of Stereolab-adjacent vibes on this album
	4:57pm Erica: I need to look up "Guruguru Brain". Really avant-garde stuff.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: It's an Amsterdam-based label that mainly releases Asian music
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: oh goody then all the vacant clubs can be bought by big corporations, remodeled according to efficient specifications and equipped with generic, algorithm-proven acts.
	4:58pm Phillippe Bastille: This is such a great show, Larry. Clicky-star worthy!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Phillippe!
	5:00pm coelacanth∅: Excellent program Larry Thanks! take care y'all
	5:00pm Erica: While I'm at it I'll check out Kikagaku Moyo and other artists under that label. Anyway, thanks for the Japanese show Larry! And thanks for the Johnny Lydon conversation guys.
	5:00pm Lizardner Dave 2: Enjoyed this, thanks!
	5:01pm ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: Excellent show today!
	🥁 5:02pm dutchtheo: Thanks Larry! Ippon for this Nippon show, sayonara!
	5:02pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!

I even got a reverse experience of sort a few years later, when my second shot at choosing a track at a party went to Steve Reich's Drumming, and everybody went wild. Some people even talked to me after that. The popularity lasted days (as in two)
	4:19pm Erica: Cool Fred. Still you never forget the first time.
	4:25pm Funky16Corners: I'm pretty sure he's mixing traditional Japanese drums with a drum set here
	4:27pm Funky16Corners: Ah! He is! Kisaku Katada - "Japanese traditional nagauta percussionist. Appointed as a Living National Treasure by the Japanese state in 1999."
	4:30pm fred: That was nice indeed
	4:30pm Funky16Corners: I have to up the number of records in my collection featuring Living National Treasures
	4:39pm fred: Larry, the good thing about records is that no-longer-living National Treasures also count. Records can bring their talent to those who were born too late to witness it firsthand
	4:40pm ParUbi: That's part of the fun, the VOICES OF THE DEAD
	🥁 4:41pm WR: Hi folks. Listening while working so can't keep up with commenting. Fun show Larry. Thank you.
	4:42pm ParUbi: This is definitely one to download from the archives
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: Thanks WR!
	4:44pm ParUbi: @Larry @4:15-- yeah, his recent political comments have been... hard to take
	4:44pm Funky16Corners: @ParUbi - That's the heart of it. A weekly seance of sorts!
	4:46pm fred: Damn, I never saw Kikagaku Moyo. When will I get to fix that now?
	4:46pm Funky16Corners: Did they break up?
	4:47pm fred: They didn't, the world did
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: Ah, gotcha.
	4:49pm Funky16Corners: The performance I saw was very cool. They were switching instruments and improvising. They had a cello, too
	4:50pm Funky16Corners: BTW it was on the web, not in person
	4:51pm fred: All live shows are banned until September here. At least. Not sure how many small venues will survive that
	4:51pm Funky16Corners: Oh yeah, going overtime again this week (just a few minutes)
	4:52pm Funky16Corners: I suspect we're in the same boat, esp here in NY/NJ. There have already been some threatened venue closures
	4:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello from the Land of Lurkdom. Wasn't near keyboards, but listening. Thanks for another nice un.StereoLab vibe here.
	4:55pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kevin! Yes, there are a number of Stereolab-adjacent vibes on this album
	4:57pm Erica: I need to look up "Guruguru Brain". Really avant-garde stuff.
	4:57pm Funky16Corners: It's an Amsterdam-based label that mainly releases Asian music
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: oh goody then all the vacant clubs can be bought by big corporations, remodeled according to efficient specifications and equipped with generic, algorithm-proven acts.
	4:58pm Phillippe Bastille: This is such a great show, Larry. Clicky-star worthy!
	4:58pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Phillippe!
	5:00pm coelacanth∅: Excellent program Larry Thanks! take care y'all
	5:00pm Erica: While I'm at it I'll check out Kikagaku Moyo and other artists under that label. Anyway, thanks for the Japanese show Larry! And thanks for the Johnny Lydon conversation guys.
	5:00pm Lizardner Dave 2: Enjoyed this, thanks!
	5:01pm ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: Excellent show today!
	🥁 5:02pm dutchtheo: Thanks Larry! Ippon for this Nippon show, sayonara!
	5:02pm Funky16Corners: Thank you all!
