	9:03am Tom from Stirling: Different from the one you are in now.....
	9:03am Strandlund: Thanks for filling in Ira! It's gonna be a great show!!
	9:03am Soundeq: Okay. This is definitely a very short version of "sitting" ... how long?
	♥ 9:03am steveo: Hello. Same.
	9:04am Rick G: Good morning Ira and listeners from Western WA.
	♥ 9:04am Ira: So this is morning? I really don't see what all the hubbub is about.
	9:04am Mary: I am sitting in a room
	9:04am Lixiviated Life: Digging this
	♥ 9:04am karlward: I remember hearing this on KTRU (Rice University radio) back in the 80s and it blew my elementary school mind.
	♥ 9:04am melinda: Howdy Ira and everyone!
	♥ 9:04am karlward: (Though not this version, of course)
	9:05am Tom from Stirling: This sounds different from the original. Ira is that you playing?
	9:05am Earth Walker: Space the final frontier
	♥ 9:05am karlward: I'm expecting this to somehow transform into a wailing wall of guitar feedback
	9:05am Miles: I'm s tting n a ro o
	♥ 9:05am Corey: Morning Ira and everybody. This is cool.
	♥ 9:05am BRM: Now this is an unexpected cover!
	♥ 9:06am LW Rhino: Thank you Ira for filling-in. Now I don't have to listen to Ken's devil music all morning.
	9:06am Will R.: I am lying on a bed
	9:06am pp: resonant frequencies built up or random noise a la entropy increasing? hmmm
	9:06am Soundeq: @karlward I wish I'd heard this at all early age. The long original is arguably not great for radio, but if so totally worth listening to.
	9:06am Miles: i' s tt g ii a oom
	9:07am Colin in Durham, England: Ken got the ‘rona?
	9:07am Will R.: Goin all Steve Reich
	9:07am Slaboch: I love everything about this!
	♥ 9:07am WoodsOfNH: I am lusting after a vanilla wafer.
	♥ 9:07am Ira: @soundeq: we should have an idea around the two-hour mark
	9:07am StringOFperils: Yo La Lucier
	9:07am Tom from Stirling: It is! It is Ira! Playing
	9:08am Miles: my old man used to play this one his ukelalee
	9:08am DonJuanTijuana: Ira the K winning over all kinds of new listeners and not even gigging out!
	9:08am Roberto: Ira, you brilliant bastard.
	9:08am Rachel Bo Bachel: You know who would like this? The Yip Yips. Happy happy happy boing boing boing!
	9:08am Lixiviated Life: @ Ira That don't scare me
	♥ 9:08am Yvang: We all are sitting in this room now...
	9:08am Soundeq: @pp The long Lucier version is much clearer re: resonance vs. whatever is creating that screeching which does not sound like room resonance to me.
	9:08am StringOFperils: This is a better Scottish accent than Clay's.
	9:09am Tom from Stirling: Wasn't his name Alvin Lucier? Or something
	9:09am Will R.: I am walking a dog
	♥ 9:09am Yvang: It's getting better
	9:09am Earth Walker: Sleep Meditation Music
	9:09am StringOFperils: yes, Alvin Lucier
	9:09am yerfriendpaul: This is wild. So glad I heard it from the beginning
	♥ 9:09am Yvang: Alvin Lucifer
	♥ 9:09am Ira: @soundeq: I think Consumer Reports would be very interested in the sound of my external speakers.
	9:10am pp: thank ye @Soundeq
	♥ 9:10am melinda: @LW the devil music can be rough in the morning
	9:10am Earth Walker: My neighbors just called the police
	9:10am Brendan: One too many cigarettes
	♥ 9:10am steveo: "I once listened to this whole thing the night before a math exam before studying at all and it was about 1:30 am and I got a D on that exam but at least I enjoyed those 45 minutes."
	9:11am TDK60: Good morning DJ; are you the fella that used to sell New Wave Hot Dogs?
	9:11am whoo: Very apropo dude
	9:11am jerry koosman jr: i am sitting in my room...watching some cqrtoons ..eating crab rangoon
	9:11am Faux Jean: wow!
	9:11am Earth Walker: All kidding aside this is cool
	9:11am CookieMobster: All I'm hearing is electronic chirping. Am I having technical issues or is Ira just playing something very avant garde?
	♥ 9:11am Yvang: At the end it sounds like Konono music.
	9:11am Soundeq: @Ira I don't believe for a moment that you're letting this go two hours. The jumps from generation to generation are huge and well... obviously the structure has no mandated end point, but ... yeah... there it is.
	9:11am Brendan: Peter Frampton on poopy flute
	9:12am Mary: I enjoyed this moment
	9:12am charlie: just found this station for the first time today! hello people
	9:13am Lixiviated Life: "absolutely the most nervous"
	9:13am Really Lisa: Hi all, Ira fan here too. Joined late, thought my stream was busted.
	9:13am Tom from Stirling: So many peoples know this Lucier thing. Crazy, right?
	9:13am Brendan: Welcome Charlie. This will change your life.

	9:17am Jeezy: Ahhhh Xmas! Accidentally stumbled upon the In Excelsior Dayglo album back in the day and still love throwin her on the ol’ Victrola...
	9:18am charlie: Seriously, this might be the beginning of my new life
	9:18am Roberto: Charlie, if you've got a kitty, they make excellent WFMU chat board avatars.
	9:18am Rachel Bo Bachel: Also hello IRA and thank you for filling in!
	9:19am LazArchives: Hey Ira, for everybody missing baseball, could you play a cut from Barbara Manning's "Perfect Green Blanket?"
	9:19am Fredericks: That Christmas song sounded as if X decided to shoot for the mainstream market.
	♥ 9:19am steveo: all the hits all the time; good to hear you, Ira
	9:20am Cp304: Nice keys, morning all
	9:20am Fredericks: What instrument is Paul Bley playing? A drowning piano?
	9:21am StringOFperils: It's a Casioturd.
	♥ 9:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Ira and skeleton keeper. Welcome, charlie. If you find that a song is too weird, listen again in five minutes. It will be either your new favorite song or even wierder (possibly both)!
	9:22am Fredericks: Ah, thanks string.
	9:23am Tom from Stirling: Did Charlie leave? Come back, Charlie. It gets better. Change is difficult but it's how we grow.
	9:23am charlie: oh i'm alive, I'm THRIVING
	9:24am StringOFperils: Ah, see, Charlie's just blissfully sinking back into the carpet a la Trainspotting.
	9:24am Cp304: My last customer sounded just like this guy
	9:24am Tom from Stirling: @Charlie. Yahoooo!
	9:25am TDK60: DJ Ira, are taking requests today? Demands? Philosophical musings?
	9:25am Slaboch: A guy named Clyde showed up to clean our septic tank and looked VERY puzzled by the Paul Bley track blasting throughout the house!
	9:26am Lixiviated Life: I think this "Peddler and His Wife" was our wedding song (maybe)
	♥ 9:26am Ira: The request line is open, but admittedly it's rarely answered.
	9:26am Woo: God bless Clyde and all the septic tank cleaners.
	9:27am Lixiviated Life: The request line is where our thoughts & prayers go to dry up.
	♥ 9:28am Ken From Hyde Park: I reckon social distancing is something septic tank cleaners are used to.
	9:28am StringOFperils: Like socks in the laundromat.
	9:29am David in London: Greetings all. Yo Handy, TDK, steveo. Tip o’ the hat to you today Ira.
	9:29am Fredericks: "Solo percussion is notoriously one of the most unpopular styles of music in history, although less hated than opera and bagpipes."- Eugene Chadbourne
	♥ 9:30am Handy Haversack: Hey there, David. I assume you were late because you had to find a room be sitting in.
	9:30am Mary: @charlie started listening only two months ago and believe me my life has changed. This was the radio I didn't know I needed
	9:30am Tom from Stirling: @Lix. My dad used to say: why don't you dry up and blow away
	9:31am Lixiviated Life: "the request line" can be found strung from the rear window of a Jersey City tenement and stretching all the way to the old mulberry tree in the corner of the yard.
	9:31am Woo: One mint julep was the start of it all. Beautiful.
	9:31am Lixiviated Life: @ Tom from Stirling we may very well be related
	9:31am egould310: Hey! It’s Ira on the ones and twos this morning. What a pleasant surprise. Greetings from Seattle!
	♥ 9:31am WoodsOfNH: @Fredericks Love that quote!
	9:31am Andres: Hey Ira great to listen to you from Uruguay!!!
	9:31am Earth Walker: When the going gets weird WFMU gets going
	9:32am Rick G: Peabody and Sherman for the win!
	9:33am prudy: good morning all..welcome back Ira..always lovely to hear your voice...thanks as always to the skeleton crew...
	9:33am David in London: Handy, when I sit in a room and someone makes a feedback recursion, all you get is the sound of a man eating pistachios. Hey Earth Walker.
	9:33am Lixiviated Life: @ Fredericks quote of the week !
	♥ 9:33am Handy Haversack: Let's play two, Frankie!
	9:33am the cl@m digger: Ira play more Metallica
	9:33am whoo: Yankee Francovic. Make that Mets Frankovic
	9:33am LazArchives: Just as great as BM Ira. THX! (It's Jeff.)
	♥ 9:33am Ira: @the cl@m digger: I couldn't play less!
	♥ 9:34am LW Rhino: Have I tuned in to "Dance with Me Stanley"?????
	♥ 9:34am karlward: Joke's on us that's a young James Hetfield on the banjo
	♥ 9:34am Lisboner Pasc: Stonkin' show, hello Ira, Skellz and Listenerpoops, an Olá all the way from Portugal -- the gauntlet was thrown down with Sitting in a Room but it paid off -- good to hear what's for me a new voice -- let's play ball! Thanks all!
	9:35am Earth Walker: David How r you
	9:35am yerfriendpaul: I’m a baseball fan but not a crazy fan. That said, I can’t believe how many highlight clips I’ve been watching lately
	9:36am TDK60: Ira, this is aging me but I saw the Mets play in the Polo Grounds. Oddball.
	♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: @yerfriendpaul, I can't bring myself to do so. But hooooo, that song made me mourn my softball season. How can I show anyone how old and unathletic I am if I'm trapped in the apartment?!
	9:37am StringOFperils: I saw Ken in the coffee grounds.
	9:37am Lixiviated Life: Mrs. Lix wakes up now a days at 5:00 AM to catch Korean Baseball on ESPN ("You don’t wake up one morning and decide to be a drug addict. It takes at least three months’ shooting twice a day to get any habit at all." W.S.B.)
	9:38am David in London: Ah, Kent Medway in the house. Earth Walker. Fine here really. I had to make an emergency trip across London yesterday which involved going on a train. I’m still recovering from the excitement and novelty.
	9:38am Earth Walker: TDK. Saw Tom Seaver play in the day
	9:38am TDK60: Ira, you won't believe this but I saw The Youngbloods play, at the old Cafe Au Go Go on Bleecker St.
	9:39am LazArchives: Oh to have a guy in the band named Banana.
	♥ 9:39am Ira: @TDK60: Tell me more!
	9:39am yerfriendpaul: @Handy - ha ha!
	9:40am TDK60: Ira, it was 1966 and The Youngbloods were opening for Bo Diddley. What a gas!
	♥ 9:41am LW Rhino: @yerfriendpaul: How's the rockin' robins ?
	9:41am JBeek: Electric Banana gonna be the brand new craze
	9:41am Fredericks: Woods: it came from an Allmusic review he wrote.
	9:42am David in London: TDK, wow, that’s a great bill.
	9:42am Stiegr: Thank you for that amazing version of "sitting in a room"!
	9:43am TDK60: David in Londinium. I was 14 then, taken by my cool jazzbo dad.
	9:44am yerfriendpaul: @LWRhino - the family is doing well! The four chicks are popping their heads out of the nest and it’s amazing to see.
	♥ 9:44am Handy Haversack: Taking this show outside. Play neighbor-pleasing tunes, Ira! @TDK60: My dad (Giants fan) told me about walking from the Polo Grounds to Yankee Stadium to take in two games a day.
	♥ 9:45am WoodsOfNH: @Fredricks Thanks. I'll have to dig that up. It reminded me that one of my favorite "weird" records is Fritz Hauser's "Solodrumming"
	9:46am TDK60: Handy, heh, yeah they were close. The Polo Grounds were funny for baseball. A lefty hitter could easily hit a home run, the field being a rectangle.
	9:47am Earth Walker: David We did our 1st Qigong class ( it’s been awhile ) in a beautiful park by the sea here in Nice Lockdown is now get out Excitement and Novelty followed
	9:48am Antonio: Hi Ira, we miss you down here in Uruguay. Come and play with the band once again!
	9:49am David in London: TDK. That’s so great. Were they OK about underage folk getting in? I guess things were looser in those days and they didn’t have a stick up their arses about such things, and teams of heavies on every door etc. I’m taking my son to loads of gigs now and luckily he’s so tall now that he can pass for 18 easily and get in everywhere.
	♥ 9:49am Ira: @Antonio: We hope to. Then again, these days we'd be thrilled to play anywhere.
	♥ 9:50am Rich in Bay Ridge: Hey Ira. Great show, as always. Thanks for the Dream Syndicate. Best reunion project ever.
	9:51am Toby: What a great track for our times.
	9:51am Shane: listened to Electr-o-pura front to back this morning then realized you were on air! love from New Orleans, stay safe & always - thanks for the music
	9:52am TDK60: David, I was with a guardian. They also sold soft drinks. And I later went to the Cafe several times, alone as a teen. The list of bands I saw there is incredible. But I want to save those stories for another time on the WFMU comments!
	9:52am David in London: Earth Walker. That’s great! My wife and I do Qigong in the garden every evening (her brother is a teacher) and I find that it really helps me these days. I feel great after doing the Eight Brocades. Hope I can keep the discipline to make time when the world cranks up again. What got you interested?
	9:53am emily in e orange: agreed - great show for the times so far! and good morning
	♥ 9:55am Handy Haversack: That's great, @TDK60! My dad worked up and down Bleeker in the fifties: Kettle of Fish, Minetta's, Derby Steakhouse. For a while I could always get a drink or even a meal along there, but everything has changed ownership or closed now.
	9:55am Earth Walker: David I remember drinking in bars in Brooklyn Bay Ridge age 14 We had our Italien friend order the pitchers of beer he had a hint of a mustache on his face
	9:55am David in London: TDK, well, I look forward to digging those anecdotes out of you at some stage. My mother and father in law were faces on the Swinging London scene in the Sixties, so though the memories are secondhand, I’ll pass on a few in return.
	9:56am JBeek: The quality of my baby's sculptures has dropped off considerably, hence...
	9:56am Jennica: I loved hanging out at Kettle of Fish.
	9:57am whoo: @Rich In Bay Ridge, Hallooo! across the rooftops from Bath Beach.
	♥ 9:57am coelacanth∅: when is motor cycle meredith from? it's easy to assume it's a rip-off (being a straight cover and all!) but maybe for your love was based on this?
	♥ 9:58am mariano: It also reminded me of "Stepping Stone", coela. 'Morning Ira, crew, folks.
	9:59am David in London: Earth Walker, ha ha, good for you. I didn’t really grow until I was 18, so was still rather small and could never bluff my way in / get served anywhere.
	♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: @Jennica: The "new" version can be pretty pleasant still. Good bartenders. Pinball. Often not chock-full of asshats. My friend's darts team is based there. Hey, Mariano, coela!
	9:59am David in London: Hey Mariano, Coela. Good day to you both.
	10:00am Toby: So many jewels here that orbit outside the Spotify universe. How special.
	♥ 10:00am coelacanth∅: hey Mariano, Handy, David!
	♥ 10:00am Rich in Bay Ridge: @whoo - Hola! It is a clear day over here on the other side of the Gowanus.
	10:01am Lixiviated Life: Ira Will this be a regular time slot for you now that summer is coming?
	♥ 10:03am efd: I love when I turn the radio on just in time to hear my name. Thanks for the mention, Ira!
	10:04am Jennica: @Handy: I look forward to playing pinball with you there some day, perhaps on one of the dart nights.
	10:05am Stacey: Long live the Boaty Weekender!
	♥ 10:06am Handy Haversack: It's a plan, Jennica! That will be a happy day! First round's on me!
	♥ 10:06am mariano: Heya Handy, coela, David (and alla the rest a yas).
	10:06am Rachel Bo Bachel: Oh no Wreckless Eric D: refuah shelemah!!!
	10:07am @fumanchiuonthis: WFMU + fantasy baseball = one kool doode !!!
	♥ 10:07am efd: I love when I turn the radio on just in time to hear a brand new Will Rigby song!
	10:08am Lixiviated Life: Waking up in the morning is THE worst (unless when compared to not waking up at all, then it's ok)
	10:08am βrian: Is this a song about a mullet?
	10:09am Earth Walker: David. My wife came upon it qigong It’s now almost a year I’m still connecting The dots We do online live yoga Twice a week Gonna be looking for in the flesh classes soon Been doin yoga awhile That sounds so cool you do it in the garden !
	10:10am Earth Walker: Ira and crew Thanks so much for the groovy show !
	10:10am Mark: How about equal time to Amy Rigby? Maybe the one she introduces by saying it’s about when men started checking out their daughter? It might be called “Spring Training”
	♥ 10:10am coelacanth∅: been wondering about Wreckless Eric Thanks for the update...although i guess not much has changed. sending Love out
	10:10am morphe': I was in the kitchen and thought "sounds like Ken has a cold???" Thanks Ira!!!!
	10:11am Roberto: Jolines, me encanta esta de Weel Reegbi.
	10:11am Mark: Wake up and smell the covvrdghe
	10:11am Will R.: Make that Corazón
	10:11am Jennica: Perfect, Handy. Thanks.
	10:12am Mike & Dusty: Happy to unexpectedly find this show on the air right now, when I needed it
	♥ 10:12am Artie: Heartlessness is just a scratch of the surface. Love the song.
	10:12am Mark: Sorry for the chin music
	10:14am Lixiviated Life: @ Mark Try to brush me back again and I'm charging the mound
	♥ 10:14am Artie: Wreckless Eric does keep a blog, and has put up a few updates on recent events and his condition. thedysfunctionalworldof.blogspot.com
	10:14am Mark: Fountains of Wayne from “that thing you do”— requests.
	10:15am emily in e orange: nice song will r!
	10:15am David in London: Oh, here’s ‘our Cilla’. Nice.
	10:16am Jamé in Dallas: Listening with my two month old. He is worried about his candy.
	10:18am wild neil peace all: WELCOME CHARLIE!!! There is absolutely nothing on earth like WFMU. KCRW tries but it is NOT EVEN CLOSE.
	10:18am Mark: Have I used up my 3 wishes, swing and a miss, sit down? I met a Rwandan woman in Oakland and took her to the No Name show — she was a Tutsi, but said she was not offended by “the Watusi” craze. Man, I’m all over the place, like early Nolan Ryan. Or...Ryne Duren??
	♥ 10:19am coelacanth∅: Thanks Artie. i looked at his website when i first heard he was sick and there was no mention of sickness.
	10:19am Earth Walker: Jennica Attention. Handys à pinball wizard
	10:19am Roberto: Word, Neil. When I lived in L.A. I thought KCRW was as good as it gets. Then someone introduced me to WFMU.
	10:20am Mark: Cilla! Cilla!
	10:21am Jennica: EW: How do you think he does it?
	10:22am Mark: Bring it. I’m at Candlestick. By candle light. It’s only 6:20 here @lix
	10:23am Lixiviated Life: Intuition? (idah no)
	10:24am Mark: Tip of the cap to @ Will R.
	♥ 10:24am chaos_in_la_la: uh i am still sitting in a room, and I've also been moving about very lively like at thee same time \. sun is up soon here..
	10:24am JakeGould: Hey Ira! @DavidinLondon: What TDK60 describes is about right. Clubs and venues back then — back before my time — were cool with kids as long as there was a guardian and nothing was distracting or got out of hand.
	10:24am TDK60: Betcha this Animal Hospital is climbing the WFMU charts..
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: @Jennica: I don't know! (I'm really not; fallen far from my days of glory!)
	10:25am Jennica: Thanks for singing with me, Handy.
	♥ 10:26am WoodsOfNH: I got to see Animal Hospital a couple of years ago. They did a show in an old UU church where they had guitar players placed all around the perimeter and around the balcony. It was _thunderous_!!!!
	10:27am Earth Walker: Jennica. He ain’t got no distractions
	10:28am Drew: Had to pause during Cilla Black and came back to this Animal Hospital track. Not mad about it.
	10:30am Crei6hton: Morning

	10:31am Matt: I think this Animal Hospital track is great! Never heard of 'em!
	10:32am Tom in St. Paul: This is definitely putting me in a post-meditative happy place.
	♥ 10:32am common: epic
	10:33am Mark: Hey I liked that track you played two years ago, tomorrow, filling in for Rich. The simplicity of it. Track #12. Or should I say “quack “ ? I’m here all week. Try the duck. Chin music
	10:34am Cp304: I jumped in the work van a few ago and heard that thudding and thought the fan blower motor was going out.
	10:35am Strandlund: Rod Rogers Rocks!!
	10:36am TDK60: Rod Rogers' drummer is avant garde on that snare.
	10:37am DJ Pat K: Sorry Eartha - gonna have to come on-a your house via Zoom
	10:38am David in London: Jake, thanks. I guess things were a little freer and easier in those days. Looking forward to a few more of TDK’s youthful gig stories.
	♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry: Eartha ruuuleezzz
	10:38am Lewis: what @webhamster henry said...
	10:39am Mark: Kimono my house. Speaking of which, did Just Sam win Idol because she appeared in a silk robe?
	♥ 10:40am efd: Cats woman, i believe
	♥ 10:41am chaos_in_la_la: sun done come up
	10:41am Martinibomb: Eartha is the best digging the set
	10:44am Ric: Lee Meriwether, not to be confused with Lee Meredith, whose birthday is October 22.
	10:45am Earth Walker: 16:45 French time
	♥ 10:46am Handy Haversack: I can't believe I have to say this, but I have to get off of here for a work meeting. What a world. Hope to make it back before the end. Really loving it, Ira! Thanks for an excellent show. L8r, pals.
	10:46am JetBoy of Brooklyn: I heard the Watusi song and was thinking of the Batusi and then Eartha Kitt came on - how perfect
	10:47am Lixiviated Life: @Handy work is overrated
	♥ 10:47am Ira: @Ric: You made me worry that I made a mistake, hardly an impossibility, but I THINK I got my facts straight.
	10:48am JakeGould: @Handy: At least you don’t have to shower or do the meeting in person.
	10:48am David in London: Handy, mention ‘the deliverables’ and all will be well.

	♥ 10:50am Handy Haversack: Lix, Jake, David, I agree with you all!
	10:50am Stacey: NJ’s finest!
	10:50am Jennica: Pesky work. See you later, Handy. x
	10:50am Toby: Wondering where that RZA tune lives?
	♥ 10:50am jmr3: The Trypes - New Jersey's Greatest ... . . . uh, sorry, nevermind
	10:51am Rachel Bo Bachel: I like this Trypes- thx for introducing me to this band I never heard before, Ira the K!
	10:52am whoo: Not Not The Feelies. Thanks Mr. Ira, I learned something new today.
	10:52am TDK60: This sounds like something from New Jersey, not Greece.
	10:52am Lixiviated Life: I have a foggy memory of seeing The Trypes play at a bar in Haledon NJ (or was is Paterson). A life time ago.
	10:53am Nick S.: Duane's uncle! One of my favorite singers period.
	10:54am Lixiviated Life: the singer occasionally hung out at a bar i spent too many nights at in Hawthorne.
	♥ 10:54am Marley P. Dogg: Is this Duane train’s uncle?
	10:55am pp: that undertow song reminded me of the Pretenders tune, was it tattoed love boys?
	10:55am Will R.: Play a record that skips please
	♥ 10:55am popaye: Hooray for Ira!
	10:57am JakeGould: @DavidinLondon: Freer days indeed. You know in NYC the club scene changed for the worse in the 1980s when drinking age was raised from 19 to 21 in 1985? And then the 1990s came along with the stupid cabaret laws and such. My one hope for NYC in this Coronoavirus mess is the silver lining of perhaps those two things changing — or being eliminated — as local bars, restaurants and venues struggle with a dead economy.
	10:58am Pablo: Aí sim, Ira!
	10:58am yerfriendpaul: This feels very Tommy
	10:58am Mary: Os selvagens, only at wfmu
	10:59am Mark: Duck Baker “in walked bud” it’s a contrafact of hello hawk come pick me up by Superchunk featuring Ken vandermark — this month was also John Vanderslice birthday he shares with sun Ra and Harley Milk
	11:00am JakeGould: @WillR: What about a record with someone yelling in an Eastern European language? Or slowed down to 16 to 33rpm?
	11:01am pp: Duane Harriott is Derrick Harriott's nephew? cool
	11:03am JakeGould: @pp: Yes! Duane’s family has a lot of music in their blood. And that is not a medical ailment!
	11:03am pp: tx Jake https://blacren.com/2012/08/dj-duane-harriott-does-it-for-the-love/#.Xs6BBmlOl-E
	11:04am Woo: Dance New Jersey. Dance now.
	11:04am David in London: Jake, I remember on a visit to NYC circa ‘96 being asked if I was 21. I was nearly 30 at the time. I was flabbergasted. “You’re old enough to serve in the military and fight in a war, but not old enough to have a beer in a bar? This is madness!”
	11:05am Woo: Now stop dancing New Jersey.
	11:05am Jennica: yfp: one of today's themes...
	11:05am Cp304: I thought that song was stuck o n loop
	11:07am Mark: I’ve never been to Hoboken but I’ve seen it from the balcony of the Whitney.
	11:08am JakeGould: @PP: And here is the Wikipedia page on Derrick with a nice pic of the record store he owned. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:08am TDK60: Someone above mentioned 16 RPM LPs. I later discovered, aside from children's talk records, as they fit more songs, they were often used as party records. Trini Lopez did a 16 RPM partee album. Lo-fidelity I think.
	11:08am Mark: It was a 3 Teens Kill 4 show — at least I thought to look.
	11:10am judy from croton: Ho boy, fanTAStic show, Mr. TheKay
	11:10am mary: Great portuguese Ira, ahah muito bom.
	11:12am JakeGould: @DavidinLondon: True! But the other factor is this: If the drinking age is 21, the only people you get sneaking into places like that will be 18 to 21. If the drinking age is 18 you get teenagers who are exposed to hip and cool stuff at a time in their life when they can soak it in and create as. By 21 you are on a career path. Seems like wacky sociology until you think about it a bit; raising the drinking age like that effectively smothers a creative class.
	♥ 11:13am chaos_in_la_la: well played GhostD then, there ya go
	11:14am JakeGould: @TDK60: Yeah, but you are talking about 16RPM records that were intentionally recorded that way… This is WFMU… Gotta think different!
	11:15am TDK60: I dig Marisa Anderson's music. Traditional tunes and covers. That's what I do at open mikes (well, did), covers well-chosen, hopefully.
	♥ 11:15am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Greetings, Ira and WFMU folx. Freeform for the deform!
	♥ 11:15am coelacanth∅: (reminds me of Johhnny Cash)
	11:16am Martinibomb: hiya Gran! TDK, Coela!
	11:17am Lixiviated Life: Hey G-Spicey-Teeeee long time no see
	11:17am TDK60: Jake, I wanna hear some hardcore punk from 1983 sped up to 78 RPM! / Hiya MartiniB!
	♥ 11:18am PMD: FYI to all, if you have Amazon Prime Andy's Rat Race is one of the free featured movies right now. That's my public service announcement for the day.
	♥ 11:18am coelacanth∅: ...or Hank Williams' at the first fall of snow? hey Martinibomb!
	11:19am David in London: Jake, yes I agree. Certainly here in the UK, the pubs also provided a good platform for the youngest of bands (in the age bracket you mention) to cut their teeth before playing ‘proper venues’. It was a thriving scene in the 80s.
	♥ 11:22am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Lixiviated Life: by golly, it has been! Great to see you. And Martinibomb, hiyeeeee!
	11:22am JakeGould: @TDK60: No. Also, there’s fog in NY harbor on a sunny day because man… Those foghorns I am hearing are off the hook!
	11:23am TDK60: Oh, Jake. You'd rather hear the '83 h/c at 16 RPM?
	11:24am JakeGould: @PMD: Thanks for letting me know! cancels amazon prime immediately
	11:24am JakeGould: @TDK60: YES!
	♥ 11:27am mariano: Got to see Derrick Harriott in Jamaica in 2012, along with John Holt, U-Roy, and Shabba Ranks. Hell of a show.
	11:28am whoo: @ Mr. Ira DJ: Oh yeah- forgot about Luxury Condos... landmark album (remember those)... in my defense I was only 17...
	♥ 11:28am Carmichael: Heya Ira, pleasant surprise! @David, I like all things pub rock!
	11:30am David in London: Carmichael, the spirit of Dr Feelgood is strong within you sir.
	11:31am Lixiviated Life: so many clicky-stars
	♥ 11:32am Santos L. Halper: Where was that Soft Boys from Ira?
	11:33am Michael Shelley: Good morning all... I slept very late...

	♥ 11:35am Krys O.: Gentleman Jim, sooo smooth.
	♥ 11:35am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): am i awake?
	♥ 11:37am BLCKDGRD: Did you know it was Siouxsie's birthday or just luck?
	♥ 11:37am BLCKDGRD: You did!
	11:37am TDK60: Hi Granny. Maybe you're sleep-typing!
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: time to hit the road Thanks Ira! Thanks skeleton crew! take care folks
	11:39am DonJuanTijuana: Ira was born in 1957 for the record

	♥ 11:41am Carmichael: So was I.
	11:41am Mark: That’s a record? I’ve met people older than that!!
	♥ 11:41am Santos L. Halper: Ah, thanks. And it's on the FMA as a bonus!
	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: Don't go, coela! I just made it back!
	11:41am Slaboch: VERY excited to check out The Miamis comp. Didn't know about that one!
	11:41am Glorious Estephonic: Hi Earth Walker ! apologies for delay. i had to go into a restorative yoga class with Genny Kapuler. nice to tune back in to la bamba lots of childhood flashbacks life is floaty. how are you ?
	11:42am David in London: Connie is really rocking this one.
	11:42am DonJuanTijuana: @JakeGould you gotta follow the cookie crumbs Ira throws around
	11:42am Michael Shelley: I've got this one in next weeks crate as well - #1.
	11:44am Mark: Did you guys and gals all go to high school together or something? Paul Green class of 1976?
	11:44am JakeGould: @DonJuanTijuana: “You gotta follow those cookie crumbs…” lights cigarette “Straight down the hallway, out the freight entrance and down the alley…” takes a puff “Walk a few feet to a dumpster, look behind it…” exhales “To find the Cookie Monster shaking behind it, desperately trying to get his daily fix…” puts down drink, walks out door and gets immediately hit by a guy win a deliver bike

	11:46am TDK60: One can only agree, Mike & Dusty. "Take it from me, Ted.." Ha!
	11:46am Glorious Estephonic: I slept on 40 loaves of bread one night back in 2013.
	11:47am Rachel Bo Bachel: We spent a lot of moola on a good bed 10 years ago. Paid back in dividends for sure! Still so comfy!!
	♥ 11:47am efd: @Glorious E. - Not Wonder, I'm assuming.
	♥ 11:47am ParUbi: Hey Ira, hello everyone
	11:48am Mark: Is this that new ap social media for only special people? I was up all night studying for the entrance exam. It literally asked me to answer “911” which was creepy enough but just then my cell died. So my comment was lost. Something about Ira, Miles Davis and my Aunt...
	11:48am JakeGould: @efd: You think a pile of baguettes would be comfortable?
	11:49am Jennica: @Rachel: I have an inexpensive memory foam; it has been my most favorite ever. I bought another for one of the guest rooms.
	♥ 11:49am efd: @Jake surely there's a happy medium

	11:50am JakeGould: @efd: A layer of bagels sounds comfortable.
	11:50am Glorious Estephonic: i love my avocado
	♥ 11:50am PMD: Someone highly recommends the purple one.

	11:50am JakeGould: @GloriousEstephonic: Is the avocado the pillow?
	11:51am Mr C: Nice and easy does it one more time..

	♥ 9:04am melinda: Howdy Ira and everyone!
	♥ 9:04am karlward: (Though not this version, of course)
	9:05am Tom from Stirling: This sounds different from the original. Ira is that you playing?
	9:05am Earth Walker: Space the final frontier

	♥ 9:08am Yvang: We all are sitting in this room now...
	9:08am Soundeq: @pp The long Lucier version is much clearer re: resonance vs. whatever is creating that screeching which does not sound like room resonance to me.
	9:08am StringOFperils: This is a better Scottish accent than Clay's.
	9:09am Tom from Stirling: Wasn't his name Alvin Lucier? Or something
	9:09am Will R.: I am walking a dog

	9:25am TDK60: DJ Ira, are taking requests today? Demands? Philosophical musings?
	9:25am Slaboch: A guy named Clyde showed up to clean our septic tank and looked VERY puzzled by the Paul Bley track blasting throughout the house!
	9:26am Lixiviated Life: I think this "Peddler and His Wife" was our wedding song (maybe)
	♥ 9:26am Ira: The request line is open, but admittedly it's rarely answered.

	9:36am TDK60: Ira, this is aging me but I saw the Mets play in the Polo Grounds. Oddball.
	♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: @yerfriendpaul, I can't bring myself to do so. But hooooo, that song made me mourn my softball season. How can I show anyone how old and unathletic I am if I'm trapped in the apartment?!

	9:42am Stiegr: Thank you for that amazing version of "sitting in a room"!
	9:43am TDK60: David in Londinium. I was 14 then, taken by my cool jazzbo dad.

	♥ 9:44am Handy Haversack: Taking this show outside. Play neighbor-pleasing tunes, Ira! @TDK60: My dad (Giants fan) told me about walking from the Polo Grounds to Yankee Stadium to take in two games a day.
	♥ 9:45am WoodsOfNH: @Fredricks Thanks. I'll have to dig that up. It reminded me that one of my favorite "weird" records is Fritz Hauser's "Solodrumming"
	9:46am TDK60: Handy, heh, yeah they were close. The Polo Grounds were funny for baseball. A lefty hitter could easily hit a home run, the field being a rectangle.
	9:47am Earth Walker: David We did our 1st Qigong class ( it’s been awhile ) in a beautiful park by the sea here in Nice Lockdown is now get out Excitement and Novelty followed
	9:48am Antonio: Hi Ira, we miss you down here in Uruguay. Come and play with the band once again!
	9:49am David in London: TDK. That’s so great. Were they OK about underage folk getting in? I guess things were looser in those days and they didn’t have a stick up their arses about such things, and teams of heavies on every door etc. I’m taking my son to loads of gigs now and luckily he’s so tall now that he can pass for 18 easily and get in everywhere.
	♥ 9:49am Ira: @Antonio: We hope to. Then again, these days we'd be thrilled to play anywhere.
	♥ 9:50am Rich in Bay Ridge: Hey Ira. Great show, as always. Thanks for the Dream Syndicate. Best reunion project ever.
	9:51am Toby: What a great track for our times.
	9:51am Shane: listened to Electr-o-pura front to back this morning then realized you were on air! love from New Orleans, stay safe & always - thanks for the music
	9:52am TDK60: David, I was with a guardian. They also sold soft drinks. And I later went to the Cafe several times, alone as a teen. The list of bands I saw there is incredible. But I want to save those stories for another time on the WFMU comments!
	9:52am David in London: Earth Walker. That’s great! My wife and I do Qigong in the garden every evening (her brother is a teacher) and I find that it really helps me these days. I feel great after doing the Eight Brocades. Hope I can keep the discipline to make time when the world cranks up again. What got you interested?
	9:53am emily in e orange: agreed - great show for the times so far! and good morning
	♥ 9:55am Handy Haversack: That's great, @TDK60! My dad worked up and down Bleeker in the fifties: Kettle of Fish, Minetta's, Derby Steakhouse. For a while I could always get a drink or even a meal along there, but everything has changed ownership or closed now.
	9:55am Earth Walker: David I remember drinking in bars in Brooklyn Bay Ridge age 14 We had our Italien friend order the pitchers of beer he had a hint of a mustache on his face
	9:55am David in London: TDK, well, I look forward to digging those anecdotes out of you at some stage. My mother and father in law were faces on the Swinging London scene in the Sixties, so though the memories are secondhand, I’ll pass on a few in return.
	9:56am JBeek: The quality of my baby's sculptures has dropped off considerably, hence...

	10:18am wild neil peace all: WELCOME CHARLIE!!! There is absolutely nothing on earth like WFMU. KCRW tries but it is NOT EVEN CLOSE.
	10:18am Mark: Have I used up my 3 wishes, swing and a miss, sit down? I met a Rwandan woman in Oakland and took her to the No Name show — she was a Tutsi, but said she was not offended by “the Watusi” craze. Man, I’m all over the place, like early Nolan Ryan. Or...Ryne Duren??
	♥ 10:19am coelacanth∅: Thanks Artie. i looked at his website when i first heard he was sick and there was no mention of sickness.

	10:24am JakeGould: Hey Ira! @DavidinLondon: What TDK60 describes is about right. Clubs and venues back then — back before my time — were cool with kids as long as there was a guardian and nothing was distracting or got out of hand.
	10:24am TDK60: Betcha this Animal Hospital is climbing the WFMU charts..
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: @Jennica: I don't know! (I'm really not; fallen far from my days of glory!)

	10:52am Lixiviated Life: I have a foggy memory of seeing The Trypes play at a bar in Haledon NJ (or was is Paterson). A life time ago.
	10:53am Nick S.: Duane's uncle! One of my favorite singers period.

	♥ 10:55am popaye: Hooray for Ira!
	10:57am JakeGould: @DavidinLondon: Freer days indeed. You know in NYC the club scene changed for the worse in the 1980s when drinking age was raised from 19 to 21 in 1985? And then the 1990s came along with the stupid cabaret laws and such. My one hope for NYC in this Coronoavirus mess is the silver lining of perhaps those two things changing — or being eliminated — as local bars, restaurants and venues struggle with a dead economy.
	10:58am Pablo: Aí sim, Ira!

	11:04am David in London: Jake, I remember on a visit to NYC circa ‘96 being asked if I was 21. I was nearly 30 at the time. I was flabbergasted. “You’re old enough to serve in the military and fight in a war, but not old enough to have a beer in a bar? This is madness!”
	11:05am Woo: Now stop dancing New Jersey.
	11:05am Jennica: yfp: one of today's themes...

	11:07am Mark: I’ve never been to Hoboken but I’ve seen it from the balcony of the Whitney.
	11:08am JakeGould: @PP: And here is the Wikipedia page on Derrick with a nice pic of the record store he owned. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:08am TDK60: Someone above mentioned 16 RPM LPs. I later discovered, aside from children's talk records, as they fit more songs, they were often used as party records. Trini Lopez did a 16 RPM partee album. Lo-fidelity I think.
	11:08am Mark: It was a 3 Teens Kill 4 show — at least I thought to look.
	11:10am judy from croton: Ho boy, fanTAStic show, Mr. TheKay
	11:10am mary: Great portuguese Ira, ahah muito bom.
	11:12am JakeGould: @DavidinLondon: True! But the other factor is this: If the drinking age is 21, the only people you get sneaking into places like that will be 18 to 21. If the drinking age is 18 you get teenagers who are exposed to hip and cool stuff at a time in their life when they can soak it in and create as. By 21 you are on a career path. Seems like wacky sociology until you think about it a bit; raising the drinking age like that effectively smothers a creative class.
	♥ 11:13am chaos_in_la_la: well played GhostD then, there ya go
	11:14am JakeGould: @TDK60: Yeah, but you are talking about 16RPM records that were intentionally recorded that way… This is WFMU… Gotta think different!
	11:15am TDK60: I dig Marisa Anderson's music. Traditional tunes and covers. That's what I do at open mikes (well, did), covers well-chosen, hopefully.
	♥ 11:15am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Greetings, Ira and WFMU folx. Freeform for the deform!
	♥ 11:15am coelacanth∅: (reminds me of Johhnny Cash)
	11:16am Martinibomb: hiya Gran! TDK, Coela!
	11:17am Lixiviated Life: Hey G-Spicey-Teeeee long time no see
	11:17am TDK60: Jake, I wanna hear some hardcore punk from 1983 sped up to 78 RPM! / Hiya MartiniB!
	♥ 11:18am PMD: FYI to all, if you have Amazon Prime Andy's Rat Race is one of the free featured movies right now. That's my public service announcement for the day.
	♥ 11:18am coelacanth∅: ...or Hank Williams' at the first fall of snow? hey Martinibomb!
	11:19am David in London: Jake, yes I agree. Certainly here in the UK, the pubs also provided a good platform for the youngest of bands (in the age bracket you mention) to cut their teeth before playing ‘proper venues’. It was a thriving scene in the 80s.
	♥ 11:22am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Lixiviated Life: by golly, it has been! Great to see you. And Martinibomb, hiyeeeee!
	11:22am JakeGould: @TDK60: No. Also, there’s fog in NY harbor on a sunny day because man… Those foghorns I am hearing are off the hook!
	11:23am TDK60: Oh, Jake. You'd rather hear the '83 h/c at 16 RPM?
	11:24am JakeGould: @PMD: Thanks for letting me know! cancels amazon prime immediately
	11:24am JakeGould: @TDK60: YES!
	♥ 11:27am mariano: Got to see Derrick Harriott in Jamaica in 2012, along with John Holt, U-Roy, and Shabba Ranks. Hell of a show.
	11:28am whoo: @ Mr. Ira DJ: Oh yeah- forgot about Luxury Condos... landmark album (remember those)... in my defense I was only 17...
	♥ 11:28am Carmichael: Heya Ira, pleasant surprise! @David, I like all things pub rock!
	11:30am David in London: Carmichael, the spirit of Dr Feelgood is strong within you sir.
	11:31am Lixiviated Life: so many clicky-stars
	♥ 11:32am Santos L. Halper: Where was that Soft Boys from Ira?

	♥ 11:37am BLCKDGRD: You did!
	11:37am TDK60: Hi Granny. Maybe you're sleep-typing!

	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: Don't go, coela! I just made it back!
	11:41am Slaboch: VERY excited to check out The Miamis comp. Didn't know about that one!
	11:41am Glorious Estephonic: Hi Earth Walker ! apologies for delay. i had to go into a restorative yoga class with Genny Kapuler. nice to tune back in to la bamba lots of childhood flashbacks life is floaty. how are you ?
	11:42am David in London: Connie is really rocking this one.
	11:42am DonJuanTijuana: @JakeGould you gotta follow the cookie crumbs Ira throws around
	11:42am Michael Shelley: I've got this one in next weeks crate as well - #1.
	11:44am Mark: Did you guys and gals all go to high school together or something? Paul Green class of 1976?
	11:44am JakeGould: @DonJuanTijuana: “You gotta follow those cookie crumbs…” lights cigarette “Straight down the hallway, out the freight entrance and down the alley…” takes a puff “Walk a few feet to a dumpster, look behind it…” exhales “To find the Cookie Monster shaking behind it, desperately trying to get his daily fix…” puts down drink, walks out door and gets immediately hit by a guy win a deliver bike

	11:46am Glorious Estephonic: I slept on 40 loaves of bread one night back in 2013.
	11:47am Rachel Bo Bachel: We spent a lot of moola on a good bed 10 years ago. Paid back in dividends for sure! Still so comfy!!
	♥ 11:47am efd: @Glorious E. - Not Wonder, I'm assuming.
	♥ 11:47am ParUbi: Hey Ira, hello everyone
	11:48am Mark: Is this that new ap social media for only special people? I was up all night studying for the entrance exam. It literally asked me to answer “911” which was creepy enough but just then my cell died. So my comment was lost. Something about Ira, Miles Davis and my Aunt...
	11:48am JakeGould: @efd: You think a pile of baguettes would be comfortable?
	11:49am Jennica: @Rachel: I have an inexpensive memory foam; it has been my most favorite ever. I bought another for one of the guest rooms.
