	9:03pm Vince from Pearl: So happy to catch you live!
	♥ 9:04pm Ira: Still finishing my morning coffee. Hi, everybody.
	♥ 9:04pm mariano: Hey Ira, Crew, everyone!
	9:04pm Slaboch: Our dinner conversation tonight was if you were gonna have a new theme song or not. Love the new intro!
	9:05pm Jedley: Hi all! Here it's early af (as the kids are saying) but the show seems to have blown the smoke out for the first time in a week! ❤️ ❤️
	♥ 9:05pm Matt Fiveash: Good morning Ira! This is a M-m-m-m-m-auspicious start.
	♥ 9:05pm Ira: @Slaboch: Still haven't decided whether or not to use the old opening music at the end. (Actually that idea just occurred to me.)
	♥ 9:08pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira. I'm happy to be here listening to your show.
	♥ 9:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Iradical, dude!
	♥ 9:09pm Handy Haversack: Mariano, haven't seen you all day! TDK60, Scott, Matt, Gaylord, Ken -- a gathering of lights! Hello!
	♥ 9:09pm Ira: Happy you're here, Gaylord . . . and Vince . . . live-r than I'll ever be.
	♥ 9:11pm TDK60: Handy, been a while.
	9:11pm Marie: Has anyone ever done a show of songs with all 50 states as titles or in the titles?
	♥ 9:11pm spodiodi: hi Ira, Skeletons and everyone!
	♥ 9:12pm Ira: Like George Harrison and Billy Preston at the Bangladesh concert . . . I forgot Matt Fiveash!
	9:12pm ?: welcome to the new time and hi! hi!
	♥ 9:14pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, TDK60, feels that way. Hope you're keeping well!
	♥ 9:14pm LazArchives: Hi Ira, this three hour earlier start works for a few of us seniors!
	♥ 9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: Handy!
	♥ 9:15pm Ira: @LazArchives: You seniors should be studying if you want to get into a good college.
	♥ 9:15pm Corey: Evening Ira and listeners! Working late, but now I don't mind so much.
	♥ 9:17pm Handy Haversack: Wendy! How are things? Actually, going to e-mail you a tune right this very second, Wendy!
	9:19pm BH: One of my local stations has changed slightly due to covid-induced Entercom layoffs. I just realized the layoffs means I can now hear voice-tracks from dudes who do overnights at a specific NYC alternative station while being in the midwest. So I can feel very connected to your part of the country without ever going there?
	9:19pm Jedley: The show is perfectly timed for the second half of west coast drivetime now--can't wait for the Zoo Crew antics.
	♥ 9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Handy: Things are good. Taking a break from unpacking. The CDs and LPs are in their proper places, so that's progress. I look forward to hearing the tune. Give my best to Kate.
	9:19pm emily here: thx for cheering up the night
	♥ 9:20pm Handy Haversack: Will do, Wendy! We're tearing the place apart trying to get ready to get out of here in the morning and head for Maine. Guess we'll be bringing sweaters!
	9:21pm Marie: love this!
	♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Handy: It was 54 when I left the house at 9:30am, and I'm in the warmer valley. Yeah. Bring thick sweaters. And have a fab time!
	9:24pm Greg Mottola: Hi Ira! I'm getting a colonoscopy tomorrow. Is there a way to dedicate a song to Dr. Schmerin?
	♥ 9:26pm LazArchives: @Greg Mottola If you've finished the prep, you've overcome the biggest hurdle. Good luck and make sure he wears gloves.
	♥ 9:26pm efd: Hi Ira! Delighted to have the chance to tune in live, only to be undelighted at the realization that I should be planning my own show. I can see this will be my fate for the next nine months.
	♥ 9:28pm Matt Fiveash: There's really a Concert for Bangladesh analogy for just about every occasion.
	9:28pm KWilde: @EFD - better than staying up until 3:00 am!
	9:31pm RobinSays: Hi Ira! So pleased to hear you DJing. Thanx mucho for playing that Dolly Parton song. She really articulates what women go through...
	9:32pm BH: for some reason, 11pm-2am Central feels less formidable than Midnight-3am Eastern, even if they're the same time
	9:32pm Jedley: Haha thanks for bringing us fire and smoke sufferers onto the waves, and also I support spending the next 2.5 hours not thinking about it.
	9:32pm Marie: Ira, don't watch Rachel Maddow from last night or you might lose your mind
	9:32pm ?: Thank you Ira! We sure need your music here in SF, California
	♥ 9:32pm TDK60: I don't want to think about "greatness" at the moment.
	9:33pm Jedley: Hey ?, we're neighbors
	9:34pm julie: Thanks for calling out the West Coast without delay. Means a lot. :)
	9:34pm Jedley: So John Dwyer of them
	♥ 9:35pm mariano: Handy - yes, I'm trying not to be seen. Can you guess which of the three shrubs I'm hiding behind?
	♥ 9:36pm coelacanth∅: i see london i see france i see mariano amongst the plants
	♥ 9:36pm coelacanth∅: hey Ira and all
	9:39pm Greg Mottola: @Laz Thanks. There's light at the end of the... um, rethinking that figure of speech.
	9:42pm Greg Mottola: Ira, I did recognize Curtis Fuller on the Bud Powell.
	♥ 9:43pm Ira: @Greg Mottola: See, that's why I didn't bother announcing the players. Phil Schaap should save his breath.
	9:43pm BH: Baseball update: Matt Harvey pitched in relief for the Royals, then Harvey was pulled from the game due to injury concern. Stop me if you've heard that before.
	♥ 9:44pm efd: I love Bob & Ray, and I know Matt Fiveash feels the same way.
	♥ 9:45pm Nardo: Thank you Ira for the Bob and Ray!
	♥ 9:45pm Ira: The two and only!
	♥ 9:46pm mariano: Ooh, cherries jubilee. Used to be on lots of New Orleans dessert menus up till the 80s sometime. That and flaming baked Alaska. Mmmm! coela: You see nothing! Also: hi!
	♥ 9:48pm Matt Fiveash: efd- you will be unsurprised to learn that I affirm your statement.
	♥ 9:59pm Handy Haversack: Well, one of the bushes seems to have a cherries jubilee ...
	♥ 10:00pm slugluv1313: good evening, Ira and Skeletons and Everyone! hah! @mariano, @Handy, @coelacanthø -- What's All This Then?! another Monty Python sketch?!
	♥ 10:00pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I hope I enjoy this second hour as much as I did the first one.
	10:00pm John L: The Sally Anne Morgan piece reminded me of the soundtrack to The Hired Hand. Sure enough, she appeared on the Bruce Langhorne tribute album a few years back.
	10:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I now join this show already in progress.
	♥ 10:03pm Handy Haversack: Evening-o-phonic! Hey, Todd and slugluv!
	♥ 10:03pm coelacanth∅: oh that's a cherries jubilee bush? which one is the peach pie bush then?
	♥ 10:04pm coelacanth∅: hi slugluv!
	♥ 10:07pm Krull Sagan: This just in...me! Man, I didn't dress for this party- way funky
	♥ 10:08pm ParUbi: Good evening, Ira and everybody
	♥ 10:08pm Krull Sagan: Mariano, Baked Alaska, sheesh- my mom would make that for me like once every couple years and I felt like some kind of royalty for fifteen minutes
	♥ 10:11pm mariano: Wow, that's something, Krull. My mom was an amazing cook but she never made baked Alaska for me. Will have to give my Mommy Pillow a few stabs.
	♥ 10:13pm Handy Haversack: The cherry jubilee bush also serving as the cathexis-effects fake-blood bush. Krull, coela, hey.
	♥ 10:15pm coelacanth∅: wowowow! never heard this! what a great version!
	♥ 10:16pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	♥ 10:16pm TDK60: Got to see Toots several times; fun.
	10:17pm johnzo: man I get that song stuck in my head a lot... never knew there was a Maytals version! Awesome!!
	10:18pm Jedley: That song always pleasantly reminds me of Clue
	♥ 10:18pm coelacanth∅: damn, now i'm blanking out about who's opening theme this was
	10:18pm Chop Scott: This is a favorite track of mine--thanks Ira!
	♥ 10:18pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ ONO ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	♥ 10:18pm Krull Sagan: Handy, cathexis, whaaa?! CoelaØ! Nice to see you. TDK, where was that? Saw ‘em in Providence once but from too far away
	♥ 10:18pm coelacanth∅: oh yeah Clay! (Jedley)
	♥ 10:19pm Krull Sagan: ParUbi, I seem to be falling into your tesseract...
	♥ 10:20pm coelacanth∅: ...(right? the pounding system?)
	10:23pm johnzo: and people talk shit about her music... smh. this is cool af.
	♥ 10:24pm coelacanth∅: no it was Black Ops
	♥ 10:25pm Ira: @johnzo: people are the worst.
	♥ 10:26pm TDK60: Krull: Two were in Pittsburgh, another in Indiana; maybe that was it?
	♥ 10:26pm coelacanth∅: lamprey eels are pretty bad too
	♥ 10:28pm Krull Sagan: Yoko’s “Yes” on the ceiling almost single handedly sold me on her TDK, p’burgh! Cool...I’m from central PA so I’ll always take a shout out to Iron City (Beer)
	♥ 10:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: I heard this Yoko song on WFMU years ago and concluded this is where I wanted to stay.
	10:28pm Jedley: Hasn't changed the dial since!
	♥ 10:28pm patrick321: I just went out to the interwebs to read all about this jam. I don't think I'd want to hear it every day but 1971? people scoff but this is way ahead of that time.
	♥ 10:29pm Handy Haversack: Nice origin story, Ken!
	♥ 10:30pm patrick321: @johnzo I'm with you on that view
	♥ 10:30pm Krull Sagan: This could be a piece for Vocal Fry, if it hasn’t already
	♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: Black Ops opened every show with it, but never (?) put it on the playlist
	♥ 10:31pm mariano: slugluv: I'm still dying to hear an actual British cop say "What's all this then?" and/or "'Allo 'allo 'allo!" Ken: I was firmly in the anti-Yoko camp of Beatles fandom till I heard her portion of "Plastic Ono Band" while on 3 hits of acid, been a fan ever since.
	♥ 10:32pm Ira: Bernard Purdie claimed to be the drummer on this?
	10:32pm Chop Scott: Indeed--I miss Black Ops program.
	♥ 10:32pm Gaylord Fields: Fun Fact: In a WFMU playlist search, "John Lennon" shows up on 337 playlists; "Yoko Ono" appears on 536.
	10:32pm mr. yi: i got into yoko when i heard her play with david peel
	♥ 10:32pm TDK60: Krull - I used to like Rolling Rock better.
	♥ 10:33pm Krull Sagan: Not Yuengling?
	♥ 10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Cue up Stashu: "Again! Again!"
	10:34pm Cheyenne: Nice fun fact, Gaylord!
	♥ 10:34pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, good to see you giving airtime to a fine Jewish band.
	♥ 10:34pm TDK60: ..good too.
	10:34pm Jedley: Wow @Gaylord you just taught me that was possible
	♥ 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Gaylord! <3
	♥ 10:36pm slugluv1313: ahhhhhh YOKO <3 <3 <3 fell in love with this first time i ever heard it -- college, i think? late 70s, but still -- could not believe how many people who claimed to be "cool" HATED it AND Yoko! heavy sigh and YES! agreed, @Krull -- that story of her and Lennon's first encounter gets me every time :)
	♥ 10:37pm Gaylord Fields: @Jedley: Since I've been WFH, I've watched a few episodes of the Michael Landon–starring "Highway to Heaven" and I've picked up a few good habits in the process. @Wendy del Formaggio: Hello! <3
	♥ 10:38pm slugluv1313: @mariano -- hah! my high school Python-devoted friends and i wanted those "What's All This Then?" t-shirts -- oh sure we knew they did not exist, but wanted to figure out how to make them
	10:39pm ?: Really digging these love songs Ira.
	♥ 10:40pm Krull Sagan: When people would ask my dad what his sign was, he’d say “feces”....y’know, instead of “pisces” hahaharrggggkkkk
	♥ 10:40pm mariano: Gaylord: that's interesting (yet not surprising) about FMU's ratio of John to Yoko.
	♥ 10:41pm Gaylord Fields: @slugluv1313: I see the problem right there — "people who claimed to be 'cool'" (another divine deed performed on my personal Highway to Heaven)! @mariano: I was actually surprised. I thought the ratio would be at least double in favor of Yoko.
	♥ 10:41pm mariano: The melody to this Shep Fields sounds a lot like "Sunny Side of the Street."
	10:43pm Cheyenne: @Gaylord Looks like FMU needs more Yoko in the mix. Hopefully y'all can organize some sort of Yoko-thon and make it happen!
	♥ 10:43pm Krull Sagan: ^is that the song that goes through your head after you stab your mommy pillow, Mariano?
	10:44pm javakid: Dent May has a FoW vibe
	10:46pm Be Now Homeboy: Enjoying this amazing show. Greetings Earthlings
	♥ 10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: Jon Appleton! I wonder what he's up to these days.
	10:47pm Jedley: Now I'm in playlist search land thanks to Gaylord. To my shock, I found a band I love that I has only been played 6 times on FMU and only the same song at that. Apparently I need a show!
	♥ 10:47pm Gaylord Fields: @Cheyenne: A Yok-o-rama is a superb idea! Also: <3
	♥ 10:47pm mariano: Glass half full, Gaylord. I'm sure the balance will reach favorable equilibrium. Actually, can't think of a single time I've heard any (solo) Lennon on FMU, and only a handful of Beatles songs. Krull: Hah! That and D.I.'s "No Moms."
	♥ 10:48pm Krull Sagan: Oh a cover of the hit Black Crowes song!
	♥ 10:48pm Jason from Houston: Firm bed...
	♥ 10:49pm Handy Haversack: All Mariano wanted was a Pepsi.
	10:50pm Be Now Homeboy: "most peculiar momma, strange days indeed.. "
	♥ 10:50pm Krull Sagan: @Jedley, is your 6-play band my band in high school, The Poseurs, and our only recognizable song, “Vegas in Space”? Probably.
	♥ 10:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yoko has a Bandcamp page going for her.
	♥ 10:50pm Jason from Houston: )
	♥ 10:50pm mariano: All I wanted was homemade baked Alaska, and SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME!!!
	10:50pm Mike W: Thanks Ira, no hurry
	10:50pm Cheyenne: LOL well done Jason
	♥ 10:51pm Krull Sagan: [Mariano stabs pillow]
	♥ 10:52pm slugluv1313: hiya Gaylord! oh yes -- amongst those who considered themselves "cool," Yoko was considered "noise" (and not in a positive way!) -- nor was it "cool" or "punk" to like Joni Mitchell, The Moody Blues, Neil Young, etc. etc. etc. (weird, when i began college in 1977, everyone HATED "punk"/"New Wave" -- by the time i was in my last year, it had become "trendy" and people could be really judgmental/elitist about what was considered "cool")
	10:52pm Jedley: @Krull there's plenty of space in my new show for some Poseurs deep cuts
	♥ 10:52pm northguineahills: @ken: what going on w/ Yoko??!!! She's my music/art hero!
	♥ 10:52pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: The Beatles are one of the most-played groups on WFMU — they're on over 2,200 playlists! It's just that it seems like less, because keep in mind that literally anything ever recorded (and some that are not) is eligible to played on the station, so the most-played artists on the station are a teensy percentage of all airplays.
	♥ 10:54pm northguineahills: (I fell in love w/ my partner randomly in Mexico, when we both loved Yoko). We saw her 80th bday at BAM). (about to call said partner)
	♥ 10:55pm northguineahills: and I missed Jon Appleton (he lectured my electro-acoustic class in 1998.
	♥ 10:56pm Jason from Houston: I may or may not have played Eleanor Rigby on a CD jukebox at a friend's bar 3-4 times in a row because of McGasko.
	♥ 10:56pm slugluv1313: @ngh -- that is so SWEET!
	♥ 10:57pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 10:57pm Gaylord Fields: @slugluv: My point is that people who feel the need to label themselves as "cool" are automatically disqualified from being such, specifically because actually cool people would never do something as uncool as announce that they are.
	♥ 10:57pm slugluv1313: @mariano -- just looked up Baked Alaska now i understand why my Mom never made it for us either! cheers to those LUCKY KIDS whose Moms make them Baked Alaska
	♥ 10:58pm slugluv1313: @Gaylord -- exactly! it was all very strange and clique-ish :(
	♥ 10:59pm northguineahills: @Ira: and we also fell in love over YLT's music (her passwords were iterations of said full band letters. She just had her 9/11 cumpleanos).
	♥ 10:59pm Krull Sagan: Slug is a sucker for the love origin story! As a cool kid, whose mom made him baked Alaska, I can confirm that she was an arsonist
	♥ 11:00pm Jason from Houston: Gonna watch A Well Spent Life again soon.
	♥ 11:00pm mariano: Wow, that's really interesting, Gaylord. I'll need to explore past playlists more. slugluv: Right? Very elaborate dessert. At restaurants when I was a kid they'd wheel out the whole dome on a cart, douse it with booze and flambe it, then cut a slice for you. Ok Ira and folks, need to run out for a bit, so thanks in advance if I'm not back before show's over. Take care everyone!
	♥ 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: @ngh: How was Jon as a lecturer? I bet he was great. Back in the late-90s/early-2000s I was part of a small gang that included him. I found him to be fascinating and sometimes really effin' intimidating.
	♥ 11:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: @ngh: also, where were you studying?
	♥ 11:02pm Krull Sagan: Back to your infernal realm, Pazuzu!
	♥ 11:02pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
	♥ 11:02pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: It's a fun thing to do to confirm or dispel various WFMU truisms. For example, in the past seven days, the Beatles show up on nine playlists — including twice within the past three hours.
	♥ 11:03pm slugluv1313: @mariano -- ahh Baked Alaska run? :) (& damn! at least you got to go to restaurants where you could get it!) (hah! i will stop before this turns into another Monty Python bit!) @Krull -- LOVE to yer Mom!
	♥ 11:04pm Jason from Houston: Are The Slugs only played on Tuesdays?
	♥ 11:05pm northguineahills: @Wendy: University of Florida, my last semester (I was trying to minor in music, but I twice as many credits needed to graduate, so, I graduate ([I just needed 3 more music credits]). My prof was a friend of Joel Chadabe, who was knew Job Appleton. It, was a guest lecture. but, I bought all books and records under his name aftet that.
	♥ 11:06pm coelacanth∅: tchau mariano
	♥ 11:06pm northguineahills: pardon the lack of grammar, just woke up... (I would tear myself apart over that post, arghhh...)
	♥ 11:07pm Krull Sagan: ngh, I loved it but was a bit concerned you were having a stroke
	♥ 11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: @ngh: It's okay. I was able to translate your post. Don't stress over it. Perfection isn't required!
	♥ 11:09pm northguineahills: @mariano: At least sally is east of NO, and you're getting a Baked Alaska. @Krull: will confirm later if it was a stroke (one mistake, ok, two, I let it slide, 5!!!!, no excuse!).
	11:10pm Owen: missed the beginning but glad i'm able to make it for the last hour!
	♥ 11:10pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:11pm Ira: @Owen: It's a lot like Perry Mason--you don't really need to be there for the first half.
	♥ 11:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Then there's the real Beatles / fake Beatles ratio.
	♥ 11:12pm TDK60: That Santa Sprees might climb the charts.
	♥ 11:12pm Ira: @Ken: Paul was hit by a car in 1963 (I may have my year wrong) and killed. IT'S ALL FAKE BEATLES.
	♥ 11:13pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:14pm Handy Haversack: Only 1,487 for the Monkees. I thought they might beat the Beatles.
	♥ 11:15pm coelacanth∅: (162 rutles)
	11:17pm Chop Scott: @ Ira: especially when Paul Drake is slowly and diligently at work uncovering the facts of the case.
	11:18pm Mike W: don’t forget the Negative Beatles very effective outfit
	11:19pm Jedley: It's summer til the equinox and anyone who says otherwise can go to Stonehenge
	♥ 11:21pm Jason from Houston: That doc... So fine...
	♥ 11:22pm Jason from Houston: lesblank.com...
	♥ 11:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Right around the equinox is when the Pumpkin Spice Beatles start seeing more airplay.
	♥ 11:24pm Handy Haversack: Is there a hot mic catching Ira flipping through the pages of the /Sporting News/?
	♥ 11:25pm Krull Sagan: Princess Irulan, from Dune- “Whoever controls the pumpkin spice, controls the universe”
	♥ 11:26pm Ira: @Handy Haversack: One of the advantages of being a Mets fan is that the Sporting News is not really essential reading.
	11:27pm FatboyMc: Ira: new Mets owners: pro or con?
	♥ 11:27pm Handy Haversack: Same for all of us this year, Ira.
	♥ 11:27pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	♥ 11:31pm Ira: @FatboyMc: I'm going to go with the devil I don't know on this one. For now.
	♥ 11:32pm Krull Sagan: Sam Prekop! I have been out of touch with that dude for too long; never would’ve guessed. Was he with Sea & Cake? Or tortoise.....
	♥ 11:34pm Ira: Sea & Cake. Also Shrimp Boat.
	♥ 11:36pm Krull Sagan: Correct, Ira! I was just testing you....
	♥ 11:38pm Ira: Phew! The baked alaska thread that I've only been 1/3 following had me in a tizzy. Years ago, I failed to know what baked alaska was in a moment when it would have been preferable if I had.
	11:39pm Jedley: Despite that failed run on $25,000 Pyramid, you've still earned a great time slot Ira.
	11:40pm Be Now Homeboy: was just listening to Steve miller band song, serenade. I feel I appreciate them more than I used to.
	♥ 11:42pm Ira: @Jedley: you're only slightly off.
	♥ 11:46pm mariano: Hey, made it back in time! And bearing four types of weed, we're gonna have us a tasting.
	11:48pm Jedley: Now that's what I call baked Alaska
	♥ 11:48pm Ira: @Mariano: On first glance, I thought you had spotted four typos. What a relief.
	11:48pm Jedley: <various sound cues>
	♥ 11:48pm mariano: Haha! About to be baked Louisiana. Then we'll deal with those typos.
	11:48pm Fuzzy: I only have one type here, will have to make do...to Alaska!
	♥ 11:48pm Krull Sagan: Jedley I am LOLing out loud in IRL life
	11:49pm Jedley: Your customer satisfaction is our #1 priority!
	11:49pm Izzy: First time listening and now I know what I'll be doing every Tuesday night! I also have sooo much to check out in between. Thank you!!!
	♥ 11:50pm Handy Haversack: First, we go in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50's each, means we'll miss out on Monday and come up smiling Tuesday morning.
	11:51pm greg: wonderful enjoyment
	11:51pm Jedley: Yeah @Izzy this show fills up browser tabs each week and by the next Bandcamp Friday I have way too many records to choose from
	♥ 11:51pm Ira: Thanks, Izzy.
	♥ 11:51pm Krull Sagan: Handy, I have no idea what a Surmontil is or where I the hell this is but let the record state that I WANT IN
	♥ 11:52pm slugluv1313: hello Izzy and welcome to WFMU!!!
	♥ 11:53pm mariano: Two large gins, two pints of cider, ice in the cider!
	♥ 11:53pm Handy Haversack: That's the spirit, Krull! Thanks for getting up early, Ira! Much appreciated, you and the Skeletons. Be well, all. Catch you later on.
	♥ 11:53pm mariano: Handy: I know you're not asleep... BOY.
	11:54pm Jedley: This is so wonderful--thanks for bringing the trance-inducing this eve Ira
	♥ 11:54pm Handy Haversack: Mariano, I've been watching you. Especially you.
	11:54pm Izzy: You're welcome Ira and thank you slugluv, happy to be here!
	♥ 11:54pm slugluv1313: now i wanna hear a mash-up (somehow) of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black's "Going to (Baked) Alaska"
	♥ 11:55pm mariano: You want working on, boy! Oh man, Handy. Jake the poacher might be my favorite of all of them.
	♥ 11:55pm Krull Sagan: Slug, don’t you know that to be COOL is to be EXCLUSIVE?! Jus’ messin’ (see above) hi Izzy!
	♥ 11:55pm slugluv1313: fantastic show, Ira -- thanks so much!
	♥ 11:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Ira!
	11:55pm Owen: great transition!! loved the last few songs :)
	♥ 11:56pm northguineahills: danks, Ira!

	9:02pm yip: glad you kept william parker
	9:02pm javakid: evenin' folks - a tweaked opening bid as promised - looking forward to being more awake for the festivities
	♥ 9:03pm TDK60: The radio is on.
	9:03pm BH: it feels like 11pm Central on a Tuesday night
	♥ 9:03pm Scott Williams: Glad I get to hear your whole show now, Ira! Howdy pals!
	9:03pm Vince from Pearl: So happy to catch you live!
	♥ 9:04pm Ira: Still finishing my morning coffee. Hi, everybody.
	♥ 9:04pm mariano: Hey Ira, Crew, everyone!
	9:04pm Slaboch: Our dinner conversation tonight was if you were gonna have a new theme song or not. Love the new intro!
	9:05pm Jedley: Hi all! Here it's early af (as the kids are saying) but the show seems to have blown the smoke out for the first time in a week! ❤️ ❤️
	♥ 9:05pm Matt Fiveash: Good morning Ira! This is a M-m-m-m-m-auspicious start.
	♥ 9:05pm Ira: @Slaboch: Still haven't decided whether or not to use the old opening music at the end. (Actually that idea just occurred to me.)
	♥ 9:08pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira. I'm happy to be here listening to your show.
	♥ 9:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Iradical, dude!
	♥ 9:09pm Handy Haversack: Mariano, haven't seen you all day! TDK60, Scott, Matt, Gaylord, Ken -- a gathering of lights! Hello!
	♥ 9:09pm Ira: Happy you're here, Gaylord . . . and Vince . . . live-r than I'll ever be.
	♥ 9:11pm TDK60: Handy, been a while.
	9:11pm Marie: Has anyone ever done a show of songs with all 50 states as titles or in the titles?
	♥ 9:11pm spodiodi: hi Ira, Skeletons and everyone!
	♥ 9:12pm Ira: Like George Harrison and Billy Preston at the Bangladesh concert . . . I forgot Matt Fiveash!
	9:12pm ?: welcome to the new time and hi! hi!
	♥ 9:14pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, TDK60, feels that way. Hope you're keeping well!
	♥ 9:14pm LazArchives: Hi Ira, this three hour earlier start works for a few of us seniors!
	♥ 9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: Handy!
	♥ 9:15pm Ira: @LazArchives: You seniors should be studying if you want to get into a good college.
	♥ 9:15pm Corey: Evening Ira and listeners! Working late, but now I don't mind so much.
	♥ 9:17pm Handy Haversack: Wendy! How are things? Actually, going to e-mail you a tune right this very second, Wendy!
	9:19pm BH: One of my local stations has changed slightly due to covid-induced Entercom layoffs. I just realized the layoffs means I can now hear voice-tracks from dudes who do overnights at a specific NYC alternative station while being in the midwest. So I can feel very connected to your part of the country without ever going there?
	9:19pm Jedley: The show is perfectly timed for the second half of west coast drivetime now--can't wait for the Zoo Crew antics.
	♥ 9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Handy: Things are good. Taking a break from unpacking. The CDs and LPs are in their proper places, so that's progress. I look forward to hearing the tune. Give my best to Kate.
	9:19pm emily here: thx for cheering up the night
	♥ 9:20pm Handy Haversack: Will do, Wendy! We're tearing the place apart trying to get ready to get out of here in the morning and head for Maine. Guess we'll be bringing sweaters!
	9:21pm Marie: love this!
	♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Handy: It was 54 when I left the house at 9:30am, and I'm in the warmer valley. Yeah. Bring thick sweaters. And have a fab time!
	9:24pm Greg Mottola: Hi Ira! I'm getting a colonoscopy tomorrow. Is there a way to dedicate a song to Dr. Schmerin?
	♥ 9:26pm LazArchives: @Greg Mottola If you've finished the prep, you've overcome the biggest hurdle. Good luck and make sure he wears gloves.
	♥ 9:26pm efd: Hi Ira! Delighted to have the chance to tune in live, only to be undelighted at the realization that I should be planning my own show. I can see this will be my fate for the next nine months.
	♥ 9:28pm Matt Fiveash: There's really a Concert for Bangladesh analogy for just about every occasion.
	9:28pm KWilde: @EFD - better than staying up until 3:00 am!
	9:31pm RobinSays: Hi Ira! So pleased to hear you DJing. Thanx mucho for playing that Dolly Parton song. She really articulates what women go through...
	9:32pm BH: for some reason, 11pm-2am Central feels less formidable than Midnight-3am Eastern, even if they're the same time
	9:32pm Jedley: Haha thanks for bringing us fire and smoke sufferers onto the waves, and also I support spending the next 2.5 hours not thinking about it.
	9:32pm Marie: Ira, don't watch Rachel Maddow from last night or you might lose your mind
	9:32pm ?: Thank you Ira! We sure need your music here in SF, California
	♥ 9:32pm TDK60: I don't want to think about "greatness" at the moment.
	9:33pm Jedley: Hey ?, we're neighbors
	9:34pm julie: Thanks for calling out the West Coast without delay. Means a lot. :)
	9:34pm Jedley: So John Dwyer of them
	♥ 9:35pm mariano: Handy - yes, I'm trying not to be seen. Can you guess which of the three shrubs I'm hiding behind?
	♥ 9:36pm coelacanth∅: i see london i see france i see mariano amongst the plants
	♥ 9:36pm coelacanth∅: hey Ira and all
	9:39pm Greg Mottola: @Laz Thanks. There's light at the end of the... um, rethinking that figure of speech.
	9:42pm Greg Mottola: Ira, I did recognize Curtis Fuller on the Bud Powell.
	♥ 9:43pm Ira: @Greg Mottola: See, that's why I didn't bother announcing the players. Phil Schaap should save his breath.
	9:43pm BH: Baseball update: Matt Harvey pitched in relief for the Royals, then Harvey was pulled from the game due to injury concern. Stop me if you've heard that before.
	♥ 9:44pm efd: I love Bob & Ray, and I know Matt Fiveash feels the same way.
	♥ 9:45pm Nardo: Thank you Ira for the Bob and Ray!
	♥ 9:45pm Ira: The two and only!
	♥ 9:46pm mariano: Ooh, cherries jubilee. Used to be on lots of New Orleans dessert menus up till the 80s sometime. That and flaming baked Alaska. Mmmm! coela: You see nothing! Also: hi!
	♥ 9:48pm Matt Fiveash: efd- you will be unsurprised to learn that I affirm your statement.
	♥ 9:59pm Handy Haversack: Well, one of the bushes seems to have a cherries jubilee ...
	♥ 10:00pm slugluv1313: good evening, Ira and Skeletons and Everyone! hah! @mariano, @Handy, @coelacanthø -- What's All This Then?! another Monty Python sketch?!
	♥ 10:00pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I hope I enjoy this second hour as much as I did the first one.
	10:00pm John L: The Sally Anne Morgan piece reminded me of the soundtrack to The Hired Hand. Sure enough, she appeared on the Bruce Langhorne tribute album a few years back.
	10:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I now join this show already in progress.
	♥ 10:03pm Handy Haversack: Evening-o-phonic! Hey, Todd and slugluv!
	♥ 10:03pm coelacanth∅: oh that's a cherries jubilee bush? which one is the peach pie bush then?
	♥ 10:04pm coelacanth∅: hi slugluv!
	♥ 10:07pm Krull Sagan: This just in...me! Man, I didn't dress for this party- way funky
	♥ 10:08pm ParUbi: Good evening, Ira and everybody
	♥ 10:08pm Krull Sagan: Mariano, Baked Alaska, sheesh- my mom would make that for me like once every couple years and I felt like some kind of royalty for fifteen minutes
	♥ 10:11pm mariano: Wow, that's something, Krull. My mom was an amazing cook but she never made baked Alaska for me. Will have to give my Mommy Pillow a few stabs.
	♥ 10:13pm Handy Haversack: The cherry jubilee bush also serving as the cathexis-effects fake-blood bush. Krull, coela, hey.
	♥ 10:15pm coelacanth∅: wowowow! never heard this! what a great version!
	♥ 10:16pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	♥ 10:16pm TDK60: Got to see Toots several times; fun.
	10:17pm johnzo: man I get that song stuck in my head a lot... never knew there was a Maytals version! Awesome!!
	10:18pm Jedley: That song always pleasantly reminds me of Clue
	♥ 10:18pm coelacanth∅: damn, now i'm blanking out about who's opening theme this was
	10:18pm Chop Scott: This is a favorite track of mine--thanks Ira!
	♥ 10:18pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ ONO ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	♥ 10:18pm Krull Sagan: Handy, cathexis, whaaa?! CoelaØ! Nice to see you. TDK, where was that? Saw ‘em in Providence once but from too far away
	♥ 10:18pm coelacanth∅: oh yeah Clay! (Jedley)
	♥ 10:19pm Krull Sagan: ParUbi, I seem to be falling into your tesseract...
	♥ 10:20pm coelacanth∅: ...(right? the pounding system?)
	10:23pm johnzo: and people talk shit about her music... smh. this is cool af.
	♥ 10:24pm coelacanth∅: no it was Black Ops
	♥ 10:25pm Ira: @johnzo: people are the worst.
	♥ 10:26pm TDK60: Krull: Two were in Pittsburgh, another in Indiana; maybe that was it?
	♥ 10:26pm coelacanth∅: lamprey eels are pretty bad too
	♥ 10:28pm Krull Sagan: Yoko’s “Yes” on the ceiling almost single handedly sold me on her TDK, p’burgh! Cool...I’m from central PA so I’ll always take a shout out to Iron City (Beer)
	♥ 10:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: I heard this Yoko song on WFMU years ago and concluded this is where I wanted to stay.
	10:28pm Jedley: Hasn't changed the dial since!
	♥ 10:28pm patrick321: I just went out to the interwebs to read all about this jam. I don't think I'd want to hear it every day but 1971? people scoff but this is way ahead of that time.
	♥ 10:29pm Handy Haversack: Nice origin story, Ken!
	♥ 10:30pm patrick321: @johnzo I'm with you on that view
	♥ 10:30pm Krull Sagan: This could be a piece for Vocal Fry, if it hasn’t already
	♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: Black Ops opened every show with it, but never (?) put it on the playlist
	♥ 10:31pm mariano: slugluv: I'm still dying to hear an actual British cop say "What's all this then?" and/or "'Allo 'allo 'allo!" Ken: I was firmly in the anti-Yoko camp of Beatles fandom till I heard her portion of "Plastic Ono Band" while on 3 hits of acid, been a fan ever since.
	♥ 10:32pm Ira: Bernard Purdie claimed to be the drummer on this?
	10:32pm Chop Scott: Indeed--I miss Black Ops program.
	♥ 10:32pm Gaylord Fields: Fun Fact: In a WFMU playlist search, "John Lennon" shows up on 337 playlists; "Yoko Ono" appears on 536.
	10:32pm mr. yi: i got into yoko when i heard her play with david peel
	♥ 10:32pm TDK60: Krull - I used to like Rolling Rock better.
	♥ 10:33pm Krull Sagan: Not Yuengling?
	♥ 10:34pm Ken From Hyde Park: Cue up Stashu: "Again! Again!"
	10:34pm Cheyenne: Nice fun fact, Gaylord!
	♥ 10:34pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, good to see you giving airtime to a fine Jewish band.
	♥ 10:34pm TDK60: ..good too.
	10:34pm Jedley: Wow @Gaylord you just taught me that was possible
	♥ 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Gaylord! <3
	♥ 10:36pm slugluv1313: ahhhhhh YOKO <3 <3 <3 fell in love with this first time i ever heard it -- college, i think? late 70s, but still -- could not believe how many people who claimed to be "cool" HATED it AND Yoko! heavy sigh and YES! agreed, @Krull -- that story of her and Lennon's first encounter gets me every time :)
	♥ 10:37pm Gaylord Fields: @Jedley: Since I've been WFH, I've watched a few episodes of the Michael Landon–starring "Highway to Heaven" and I've picked up a few good habits in the process. @Wendy del Formaggio: Hello! <3
	♥ 10:38pm slugluv1313: @mariano -- hah! my high school Python-devoted friends and i wanted those "What's All This Then?" t-shirts -- oh sure we knew they did not exist, but wanted to figure out how to make them
	10:39pm ?: Really digging these love songs Ira.
	♥ 10:40pm Krull Sagan: When people would ask my dad what his sign was, he’d say “feces”....y’know, instead of “pisces” hahaharrggggkkkk
	♥ 10:40pm mariano: Gaylord: that's interesting (yet not surprising) about FMU's ratio of John to Yoko.
	♥ 10:41pm Gaylord Fields: @slugluv1313: I see the problem right there — "people who claimed to be 'cool'" (another divine deed performed on my personal Highway to Heaven)! @mariano: I was actually surprised. I thought the ratio would be at least double in favor of Yoko.
	♥ 10:41pm mariano: The melody to this Shep Fields sounds a lot like "Sunny Side of the Street."
	10:43pm Cheyenne: @Gaylord Looks like FMU needs more Yoko in the mix. Hopefully y'all can organize some sort of Yoko-thon and make it happen!
	♥ 10:43pm Krull Sagan: ^is that the song that goes through your head after you stab your mommy pillow, Mariano?
	10:44pm javakid: Dent May has a FoW vibe
	10:46pm Be Now Homeboy: Enjoying this amazing show. Greetings Earthlings
	♥ 10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: Jon Appleton! I wonder what he's up to these days.
	10:47pm Jedley: Now I'm in playlist search land thanks to Gaylord. To my shock, I found a band I love that I has only been played 6 times on FMU and only the same song at that. Apparently I need a show!
	♥ 10:47pm Gaylord Fields: @Cheyenne: A Yok-o-rama is a superb idea! Also: <3
	♥ 10:47pm mariano: Glass half full, Gaylord. I'm sure the balance will reach favorable equilibrium. Actually, can't think of a single time I've heard any (solo) Lennon on FMU, and only a handful of Beatles songs. Krull: Hah! That and D.I.'s "No Moms."
	♥ 10:48pm Krull Sagan: Oh a cover of the hit Black Crowes song!
	♥ 10:48pm Jason from Houston: Firm bed...
	♥ 10:49pm Handy Haversack: All Mariano wanted was a Pepsi.
	10:50pm Be Now Homeboy: "most peculiar momma, strange days indeed.. "
	♥ 10:50pm Krull Sagan: @Jedley, is your 6-play band my band in high school, The Poseurs, and our only recognizable song, “Vegas in Space”? Probably.
	♥ 10:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yoko has a Bandcamp page going for her.
	♥ 10:50pm Jason from Houston: )
	♥ 10:50pm mariano: All I wanted was homemade baked Alaska, and SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME!!!
	10:50pm Mike W: Thanks Ira, no hurry
	10:50pm Cheyenne: LOL well done Jason
	♥ 10:51pm Krull Sagan: [Mariano stabs pillow]
	♥ 10:52pm slugluv1313: hiya Gaylord! oh yes -- amongst those who considered themselves "cool," Yoko was considered "noise" (and not in a positive way!) -- nor was it "cool" or "punk" to like Joni Mitchell, The Moody Blues, Neil Young, etc. etc. etc. (weird, when i began college in 1977, everyone HATED "punk"/"New Wave" -- by the time i was in my last year, it had become "trendy" and people could be really judgmental/elitist about what was considered "cool")
	10:52pm Jedley: @Krull there's plenty of space in my new show for some Poseurs deep cuts
	♥ 10:52pm northguineahills: @ken: what going on w/ Yoko??!!! She's my music/art hero!
	♥ 10:52pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: The Beatles are one of the most-played groups on WFMU — they're on over 2,200 playlists! It's just that it seems like less, because keep in mind that literally anything ever recorded (and some that are not) is eligible to played on the station, so the most-played artists on the station are a teensy percentage of all airplays.
	♥ 10:54pm northguineahills: (I fell in love w/ my partner randomly in Mexico, when we both loved Yoko). We saw her 80th bday at BAM). (about to call said partner)
	♥ 10:55pm northguineahills: and I missed Jon Appleton (he lectured my electro-acoustic class in 1998.
	♥ 10:56pm Jason from Houston: I may or may not have played Eleanor Rigby on a CD jukebox at a friend's bar 3-4 times in a row because of McGasko.
	♥ 10:56pm slugluv1313: @ngh -- that is so SWEET!
	♥ 10:57pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 10:57pm Gaylord Fields: @slugluv: My point is that people who feel the need to label themselves as "cool" are automatically disqualified from being such, specifically because actually cool people would never do something as uncool as announce that they are.
	♥ 10:57pm slugluv1313: @mariano -- just looked up Baked Alaska now i understand why my Mom never made it for us either! cheers to those LUCKY KIDS whose Moms make them Baked Alaska
	♥ 10:58pm slugluv1313: @Gaylord -- exactly! it was all very strange and clique-ish :(
	♥ 10:59pm northguineahills: @Ira: and we also fell in love over YLT's music (her passwords were iterations of said full band letters. She just had her 9/11 cumpleanos).
	♥ 10:59pm Krull Sagan: Slug is a sucker for the love origin story! As a cool kid, whose mom made him baked Alaska, I can confirm that she was an arsonist
	♥ 11:00pm Jason from Houston: Gonna watch A Well Spent Life again soon.
	♥ 11:00pm mariano: Wow, that's really interesting, Gaylord. I'll need to explore past playlists more. slugluv: Right? Very elaborate dessert. At restaurants when I was a kid they'd wheel out the whole dome on a cart, douse it with booze and flambe it, then cut a slice for you. Ok Ira and folks, need to run out for a bit, so thanks in advance if I'm not back before show's over. Take care everyone!
	♥ 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: @ngh: How was Jon as a lecturer? I bet he was great. Back in the late-90s/early-2000s I was part of a small gang that included him. I found him to be fascinating and sometimes really effin' intimidating.
	♥ 11:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: @ngh: also, where were you studying?
	♥ 11:02pm Krull Sagan: Back to your infernal realm, Pazuzu!
	♥ 11:02pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
	♥ 11:02pm Gaylord Fields: @mariano: It's a fun thing to do to confirm or dispel various WFMU truisms. For example, in the past seven days, the Beatles show up on nine playlists — including twice within the past three hours.
	♥ 11:03pm slugluv1313: @mariano -- ahh Baked Alaska run? :) (& damn! at least you got to go to restaurants where you could get it!) (hah! i will stop before this turns into another Monty Python bit!) @Krull -- LOVE to yer Mom!
	♥ 11:04pm Jason from Houston: Are The Slugs only played on Tuesdays?
	♥ 11:05pm northguineahills: @Wendy: University of Florida, my last semester (I was trying to minor in music, but I twice as many credits needed to graduate, so, I graduate ([I just needed 3 more music credits]). My prof was a friend of Joel Chadabe, who was knew Job Appleton. It, was a guest lecture. but, I bought all books and records under his name aftet that.
	♥ 11:06pm coelacanth∅: tchau mariano
	♥ 11:06pm northguineahills: pardon the lack of grammar, just woke up... (I would tear myself apart over that post, arghhh...)
	♥ 11:07pm Krull Sagan: ngh, I loved it but was a bit concerned you were having a stroke
	♥ 11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: @ngh: It's okay. I was able to translate your post. Don't stress over it. Perfection isn't required!
	♥ 11:09pm northguineahills: @mariano: At least sally is east of NO, and you're getting a Baked Alaska. @Krull: will confirm later if it was a stroke (one mistake, ok, two, I let it slide, 5!!!!, no excuse!).
	11:10pm Owen: missed the beginning but glad i'm able to make it for the last hour!
	♥ 11:10pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:11pm Ira: @Owen: It's a lot like Perry Mason--you don't really need to be there for the first half.
	♥ 11:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Then there's the real Beatles / fake Beatles ratio.
	♥ 11:12pm TDK60: That Santa Sprees might climb the charts.
	♥ 11:12pm Ira: @Ken: Paul was hit by a car in 1963 (I may have my year wrong) and killed. IT'S ALL FAKE BEATLES.
	♥ 11:13pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:14pm Handy Haversack: Only 1,487 for the Monkees. I thought they might beat the Beatles.
	♥ 11:15pm coelacanth∅: (162 rutles)
	11:17pm Chop Scott: @ Ira: especially when Paul Drake is slowly and diligently at work uncovering the facts of the case.
	11:18pm Mike W: don’t forget the Negative Beatles very effective outfit
	11:19pm Jedley: It's summer til the equinox and anyone who says otherwise can go to Stonehenge
	♥ 11:21pm Jason from Houston: That doc... So fine...
	♥ 11:22pm Jason from Houston: lesblank.com...
	♥ 11:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Right around the equinox is when the Pumpkin Spice Beatles start seeing more airplay.
	♥ 11:24pm Handy Haversack: Is there a hot mic catching Ira flipping through the pages of the /Sporting News/?
	♥ 11:25pm Krull Sagan: Princess Irulan, from Dune- “Whoever controls the pumpkin spice, controls the universe”
	♥ 11:26pm Ira: @Handy Haversack: One of the advantages of being a Mets fan is that the Sporting News is not really essential reading.
	11:27pm FatboyMc: Ira: new Mets owners: pro or con?
	♥ 11:27pm Handy Haversack: Same for all of us this year, Ira.
	♥ 11:27pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	♥ 11:31pm Ira: @FatboyMc: I'm going to go with the devil I don't know on this one. For now.
	♥ 11:32pm Krull Sagan: Sam Prekop! I have been out of touch with that dude for too long; never would’ve guessed. Was he with Sea & Cake? Or tortoise.....
	♥ 11:34pm Ira: Sea & Cake. Also Shrimp Boat.
	♥ 11:36pm Krull Sagan: Correct, Ira! I was just testing you....
	♥ 11:38pm Ira: Phew! The baked alaska thread that I've only been 1/3 following had me in a tizzy. Years ago, I failed to know what baked alaska was in a moment when it would have been preferable if I had.
	11:39pm Jedley: Despite that failed run on $25,000 Pyramid, you've still earned a great time slot Ira.
	11:40pm Be Now Homeboy: was just listening to Steve miller band song, serenade. I feel I appreciate them more than I used to.
	♥ 11:42pm Ira: @Jedley: you're only slightly off.
	♥ 11:46pm mariano: Hey, made it back in time! And bearing four types of weed, we're gonna have us a tasting.
	11:48pm Jedley: Now that's what I call baked Alaska
	♥ 11:48pm Ira: @Mariano: On first glance, I thought you had spotted four typos. What a relief.
	11:48pm Jedley: <various sound cues>
	♥ 11:48pm mariano: Haha! About to be baked Louisiana. Then we'll deal with those typos.
	11:48pm Fuzzy: I only have one type here, will have to make do...to Alaska!
	♥ 11:48pm Krull Sagan: Jedley I am LOLing out loud in IRL life
	11:49pm Jedley: Your customer satisfaction is our #1 priority!
	11:49pm Izzy: First time listening and now I know what I'll be doing every Tuesday night! I also have sooo much to check out in between. Thank you!!!
	♥ 11:50pm Handy Haversack: First, we go in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50's each, means we'll miss out on Monday and come up smiling Tuesday morning.
	11:51pm greg: wonderful enjoyment
	11:51pm Jedley: Yeah @Izzy this show fills up browser tabs each week and by the next Bandcamp Friday I have way too many records to choose from

	♥ 11:54pm slugluv1313: now i wanna hear a mash-up (somehow) of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black's "Going to (Baked) Alaska"
	♥ 11:55pm mariano: You want working on, boy! Oh man, Handy. Jake the poacher might be my favorite of all of them.
