	9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: The dirty legal ID.
	9:11am listener: good morning JA, nice job keeping the station legal.
	9:13am johnzo: good morrow fair listener catz
	9:15am Handy Haversack: David, how goes. WAB convo turned briefly to beans and HP on toast and the vagaries of the Royal Mail.
	9:15am John Allen: Hey everyone. Who's volunteering to be the comments board co-host for me today?
	9:15am YETI BOB: Totally irrelevant but funny: "AI Camera Ruins Soccer Game For Fans After Mistaking Referree's Bald Head For Ball" www.iflscience.com...
	9:16am YETI BOB: "Many viewers complained they missed their team scoring a goal because the camera "kept thinking the Lino bald head was the ball," and some even suggested the club would have to provide the linesman with a toupe or hat."
	9:17am John Allen: c'mon people. It's not a tough job...just say something like "that bald ref head represents the $ goal for this program."
	9:18am PortsmouthJay: that bald ref head represents the $ goal for this program.
	9:18am rsj: the lost track
	9:18am YETI BOB: We need a GOOOOOAL!
	9:19am Cal in Dothan: This is dope
	9:19am PortsmouthJay: GOAL: $1000.06
	9:19am Handy Haversack: That bald ref head represents the $ goal for this program. LET'S KICK IT!!!!
	9:19am David (in London): Handy, fascinating topics one and all. The GPO used to operate a driverless underground railway of its own under the city, known as the Mail Rail. Pretty cool.
	9:19am Phillippe Bastille: How's it going, DiL? Handy, still waiting on that tea.
	9:20am David (in London): The referee's a wanker! (But he still pledged $50 to WFMU).
	9:20am Handy Haversack: Phillippe. you have to send me your address and T-shirt size first. I'm not a tea reader!
	9:21am Strandlund: Good Morning Mr. Allen and all the AM fans!!
	9:21am YETI BOB: @D(iL): You probably know about the great Chicago fire but do you know about the Chicago flood of 1992?
	9:21am Phillippe Bastille: You're supposed to know these things...
	9:21am adampsyche: good mornign johnallen
	9:21am TDK60: Good morning radio people. Windy, rainy day in Manhattan. Going to vote today. I'll stand in line with a gale blowing. There are worse things.
	9:21am PortsmouthJay: Mornin' @Strandlund. What's the word of the day?
	9:22am Handy Haversack: TDK60, Knormalish went to the same place we did around 1 PM and there was no line -- avoid opening time, and maybe it will be short? Also, Kate and I are going to morphe''s garden on Tue. next week. See you there?
	9:23am David (in London): No so bad Phillippe, sliding slowly into weekend atrophy. Hey TDK. CYB - No, I confess I don't. But I'm about to educate myself...!
	9:23am Strandlund: @PortsmouthJay...GOAL!!!
	9:23am John Allen: hey adam, snow up there?
	9:24am YETI BOB: "The Chicago Tunnel Company was the builder and operator of a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge railway freight tunnel network under downtown Chicago. It inspired the construction of the London Post Office Railway."
	9:24am YETI BOB: It was built in the early 20th century ... and abandonded ... and subsequently completely forgotten.
	9:24am John Allen: hey folks, we need a goal
	9:25am Acid Cazh: My fiancée and I are arguing over that last track,"Trusted Environment." I say it sounds like softcore porn soundtrack. She says it sounds like an jazz band at an airport bar at 7:30pm trying to sound sexy but failing. Anyone else have thoughts?
	9:25am YETI BOB: While working on the Kinzie St Bridge, pilings pierced the tunnel and it flooded. The water went straight into to all the basements in Chicago that the freight service used to service.
	9:25am John Allen: Acid, what if i told you your both right?
	9:27am YETI BOB: Billions of dollars in damage. Really crazy story. The building owners didn't even know that this tunnel was there until water started pouring through long-shuttered gates.
	9:27am PortsmouthJay: JA: the goal should be $943 -- seems that's what you need today! 👾
	9:27am Handy Haversack: For a single pledge of $943, all will be revealed!
	9:27am David (in London): CYB - I now feel inspired to write a song called 'The Great Chicago Flood', in the style of 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down'.
	9:28am Acid Cazh: No reason we can't both be right! When I told her it was a German artist who released it last month on an album called "Hold Music Vol 1" she said "That follows."
	9:28am John Allen: no problem Handy, we can dig ourselves of of this
	9:28am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Was out on a local walk,perhaps i passed next to the jazz mobile,got a jazz cigarette for sure.
	9:28am YETI BOB: @D(iL): I'd love to hear it.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: JA, can you commit to revealing all the secrets (of, you know, JAZZ, but also whatever else) if we hit $943? I think we can incentivize this. The people want to know!
	9:29am YETI BOB: "Avoid 2 and 4". Ooops, I spilled the beans!
	9:30am YETI BOB: it's OK, there are other jazz secrets that only JA knows
	9:32am terminalhipness: Everything JA does is jazz, even when he has to go move the car
	9:33am John Allen: i dunno about secrets Yeti, I totally got this one wrong..."NEW YORK - Brooklyn jazz musician Stanley Wright, who'd been missing since last Thursday, was found dead in a storage trunk in his basement, authorities said. Police found the musician's body upon searching his house shortly after he was reported missing by his son early Tuesday morning."
	9:33am rsj: lost in a bill pullman fantasy
	9:33am luka: is this saxophone the platonic ideal of skyline motif jazz graphics? i'll hang up and listen to your answer.
	9:33am tak: now that was a fine president
	9:34am YETI BOB: Here are the real "secrets of jazz" - 25 tips from the coolest cat ever, Thelonious Monk. If you've never seen this before, this is gold: www.openculture.com...
	9:34am Ike: Hi all. @Acid, I like your cat.
	9:34am Phillippe Bastille: @Acid sadly I missed the tune -- was digging around in the pantry for something -- anything! -- with caffeine
	9:34am Acid Cazh: Thanks @Ike! He likes you. His name is Catman, and he's always looking for someone to sit on and purr.
	9:35am melinda: Reminds me of 80s city-based movies
	9:35am Acid Cazh: @Phillippe: beatbude.bandcamp.com...
	9:36am Acid Cazh: Obvs bookmark it and wait to listen until JA's show is over
	9:36am Phillippe Bastille: @JA so... suicide?
	9:37am Crudbringer: morning everyone! <🎵HANDS🎵>
	9:37am Handy Haversack: Death by storage is a real problem in Brooklyn apartments.
	9:37am johnc: Hi all! How do I get a jazz shirt? I pledged last week but wasn't given the option of the jazz shirt
	9:37am David (in London): melinda - Yes, something like 'To Live and Die in LA'.
	9:38am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Acid!
	9:40am luka: we've replaced glenn frey with folger's crystals. let's see if they notice.
	9:40am Handy Haversack: @johnc, you have to pledge $75 for a DJ Premium, which the JAZZ shirt is. If you wanted to pledge again to make your pledge = $75, then just drop Joe McGasko a line to say you want to add the JAZZ swag. Or, samewise, if you pledged $75 but missed that option, drop him a line.
	9:41am Handy Haversack: (That is to say, with the first option, pledge to make your total = $75 and add in the notes to the office and/or write Joe an e-mail explaining how it happened and ask to get your JAZZ swag!)
	9:42am johnc: Thank you Handy! Will do!
	9:42am Handy Haversack: The spirit of 9:42 lives on Fridays, too!
	9:43am David (in London): Oh man, I love Westchester Lady. My friend Danny introduced me to Bob James many years ago. It's a massive hunk of beautiful cheese.
	9:43am Stillwell Coney Islander: JAZZY ❤️ !! Morning
	9:43am Phillippe Bastille: I had self-excluded from the 9:42 thing. Now I feel bad.
	9:43am andy the painter: yeah, just got into Grand ace
	9:44am fionnland: Agreed, David - though my first exposure was on this show last week!
	9:44am PKNY: "Westchester Lady" has a perfect combo of smoothness and 70s cop show vibes. "Nautilus" is my personal favorite Bob James jam, though.
	9:44am D Rok: Digging the playlist this morning, John.
	9:45am luka: more like Bob Jams
	9:45am John Allen: best thing about his first record is it's him and Robert Ashley. Wonder if they ever shared a cab...
	9:46am andy the painter: Grand Central...gonna hit the accounting with a bialy at my desk. cable guy should be coming to the house to hook up the basement. Terry said she could let him in....
	9:46am sphere: This feels very 80s TV theme song.
	9:46am Ike: @luka@9:40, ha ha. I understood that reference. @Acid@9:34, that's my favorite kind of cat! My cats prefer to sit on the warm stereo receiver because it's warmer than me. So if I want them to sit on my lap instead, I have to turn off WFMU. Pffft, I can't do that!
	9:46am sphere: And hello.
	9:46am David (in London): Tough, uncompromising cop, David London, patrols the mean streets of Hackney. Soundtrack by Bob James.
	9:47am PKNY: @JA - oh, you're talking about the record he put out in the 60s, and not "One"
	9:47am John Allen: hey all! Tshirt posted at the top of the playlist. throw us $75 and its yours!
	9:48am John Allen: right, esp
	9:48am TDK60: David, you don't have the tough job of patrolling Belgravia, eh?
	9:48am melinda: @David haha
	9:49am PKNY: Haven't checked that one, will need to rectify that. Bob has also done soooo many nice appearances as a sideman on CTI/Kudu records. The keys on Idris Muhammad's "Loran's Dance"? So dope.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: I see David London at the end of this song stumbling into a workers' organizing meeting and beginning his political -- and romantic -- awakening ...
	9:49am melinda: My favorite Bob James will always be the Taxi theme
	9:49am David (in London): TDK - I was transferred out of Belgravia due to my insolence, bad attitude and refusal to play by the rules.
	9:52am melinda: I watched Prince of the City a while back, classic movie about NYC cop corruption and it was funny to hear the moody sax interludes that now seem dated but were just part of the cinematic landscape then.
	9:53am Handy Haversack: You're off the case, McGarnickle!
	9:54am Kaper79: I see what your doing here , SYNC> hehe
	9:56am Acid Cazh: @Ike: This cat will follow you around meowing until you lay down so he can sit on your chest. If you don't get there quick enough he'll start bitting at your ankles. Then he kneads and drools. Very demanding kitty.
	10:00am karlward: Obligatory call for angry cat jazz
	10:01am Acid Cazh: I second the call for angry cat jazz
	10:01am Acid Cazh: Not sure what it is, but it sounds like it's right up my alley.
	10:02am sphere: i prefer mildly annoyed cat jazz.
	10:02am John Allen: i can bring in the jazz cats with another pledge
	10:04am karlward: Angry cat jazz, or just some DNA, I'm not picky
	10:05am Handy Haversack: Tough but fair, JA!
	10:06am John Allen: i saw a jump. get ready
	10:08am YETI BOB: i'll be back when this is over. i can take this but my 4-footed friends can't!
	10:08am egould310: Meow! From Seattle.
	10:09am PortsmouthJay: Had to turn it down because the cats freaked out and started scratching the walls. :(
	10:10am Hubig Pie: I gotsa ankle bitin' feline too
	10:11am Handy Haversack: My cats didn't even stir. Nor the dog.
	10:11am monica: dancing to this set... so much movement!
	10:12am John Allen: hey everyone. Pledge for movement!
	10:12am Roberto: Is this guy's name really jack-off-itch?
	10:13am Ken From Hyde Park: Pledge for disgruntled cat jazz! 🐈‍
	10:13am John Allen: Roberto, pledge for interpretations
	10:16am sphere: pledge for postmodernism!
	10:19am Handy Haversack: Pledge for hermeneutics! (And Daybreak!)
	10:20am karlward: Man, The Cure has some weird b-sides from the mid 80s
	10:26am Roberto: I would more likely pledge for angry cats! But I've already pledged (and paid in full) anyway.
	10:27am Acid Cazh: Every time I run out to move the car after alternate-side parking my fiancée calls me Frank Costanza
	10:27am Acid Cazh: I don't think she gets it, she doesn't drive.
	10:29am Handy Haversack: We're combining car moving with emergency pumpkin shopping today.
	10:30am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy JA and Make Jazz Like Spyro Gyra Agaign movementers.
	10:31am Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ CUÍCA TIME ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	10:34am Roberto: Did the Giant Man go solo?
	10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Gizzards, just remembered I need to sign up for the Zoom party with Marty that happens tomorrow night - www.eventbrite.com...
	10:39am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Ken! Kate and I and various other mammals will be there!
	10:39am Crudbringer: god, the holidays used to mean driving to Chicago and then, yes - moving cars around under the supervision of my father-in-law. and aimless parvas y cafe all morning
	10:42am David (in London): Handy - I was tempted, but the time difference... Skeptech was just about do-able, but this is pushing it too far for me.
	10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: @David i L - Alternatively, you could wake up early Sunday morning for the Mon Ami portion of the party.
	10:47am David (in London): Ken, my wife likes FMU as much as the next carbon-based life form, but I think she might take a dim view of that.
	10:47am Handy Haversack: The veils might really thin if you reach us from All Saints Day while we're still on All Hallows Eve, David. I do think the station should do some events timed for our European and Europe-adjacent listeners -- and then keep moving around the globe!
	10:51am melinda: I love Nina's version of Bojangles
	10:52am tim from champaign (now washington): I don't think there's a song that cannot be elevated by Nina Simone.
	10:52am adampsyche: what tim said
	10:56am steveo: i'm not sure what to say
	10:56am steveo: oh wait how about "hi"
	10:56am John Allen: hey steveo
	10:57am Handy Haversack: We're fixing to go on this pumpkin-and-parking run. We'll be listening in the car.
	10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Is Haley Fohr also Circuit de Yeux?
	10:57am Morphe': Never new Jerry Jeff wrote that...
	10:57am luka: sounds like it, tim. what a voice.
	10:57am John Allen: tim, yes
	10:57am Mike W: @JA what’s this Haley track from? I’ve lost touch a bit @tim yes
	10:58am Morphe': EarthWalker - are you out there???? Ok?
	10:58am Mike W: good sunless new york city morning to my fellow JAAMmers
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mike W. We have the dog in his Stefon sweater and are going to drag him along. Hopefully back before the end!
	10:59am Morphe': Tim from C - I was going to write "Nina does the best covers!!!!!"
	11:00am YETI BOB: @tim: She's also Jackie Lynn
	11:01am sphere: @tim: she's also Circuit des Yeux.
	11:03am Mike W: oh, “bluesy Diamanda” is pretty keen
	11:06am David (in London): Hey morphester.
	11:07am karlward: HELL YES
	11:08am YETI BOB: um what happened to this song?
	11:09am Morphe': Hello David van der Stoke!!! Halloween always makes me think of Guy Fawkes day and the reverse is also true...
	11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks for the confirmation folks! JA - Did you say Mick Collins was involved in this?
	11:09am fionnland: Haha - can't tell if deliberate
	11:10am Jason from Houston: So fine...
	11:10am HappyHolmes: every other beat missing?
	11:11am karlward: Brian Eno hears "New Grub Street" for the first time. Doesn't leave his apartment for days. Despondent. Bryan Ferry calls, no answer. Ferry calls again and again. Finally, Eno answers: "What's the point, Bryan? Western Eyes, Bryan. Western Eyes." Hangs up. It will be two more years before Eno puts out another record.
	11:14am steveo: whoa that is from 1984 whoa
	11:15am Morphe': Regarding the skipping/stuttering song: In the spirit of Irreverent X-Ray Burns -I was going to make a bad joke about the guy did not go to his speech therapy classes but I do not want to get banned -OOOOPPPPPSSSS. I can make that joke as I refused to go to my speech therapy classes in 2nd grade Brooklyn Catholic School .. being IN the outsider group gives joking ... Like the guy with Tourettes who made the film about Tourettes called "Twitch and Shout" - a great informative film - especially about the different forms of Tourettes.
	11:16am YETI BOB: Unlistenable in 1984, unlistenable in 2020! (but this Bent Arcana is great)
	11:16am tim from champaign (now washington): Is Bent Arcana going to bust into Radar Love?
	11:17am sphere: The Wire did not like Bent Arcana at all, but I totally dig them.
	11:19am tim from champaign (now washington): I dig Bent Arcana too. What did the Wire say about them?
	11:19am Morphe': Wonering about the origins of Arcana, Indiana??? https://roadsidethoughts.com/in/arcana-xx-grant-profile.htm website does not answer the question???
	11:20am sphere: They kinda just briefly slagged them off as lame prog in an overall package review centering around the OHSEES.
	11:21am YETI BOB: @Tim: I just dug out the October issue - "the sound made by a load of fusion-loving music store employees tinkering around with a new shipment of gear before the boss shows up."
	11:23am YETI BOB: "only flashes of excitement to be found", etc etc. They love the Brigid Dawson record though (backed by Sunwatchers) - I've gotta check that one out
	11:23am sphere: sorry tim, "lame fusion." :)
	11:24am PaulRobeson1920: Sweet Jams JA!
	11:24am johnc: Eddie!
	11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): @Sphere and YB - that's the type of bad review that I think "this make me want to check it out".
	11:26am YETI BOB: @morphe': The name Arcana is likely derived from a Latin word meaning "secluded". (via Wikipedia).
	11:27am Tome: Eddie's ie.. "machine gun" !<>!
	11:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Really good article on Eddie in RS: www.rollingstone.com... Man, Eddie was a mess at times. Amazing what he ended up putting out.
	11:27am luka: friday morning in the park
	11:27am luka: {flangers intensify}
	11:28am mrmikestandsir: Funny, I recognized what was going on here from the snare sound.
	11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @John Allen: Cool collage!
	11:28am TomDash: digging the collage...
	11:28am PKNY: "One Foot Out the Door" is rulin' so hard right now!
	11:28am sphere: @ tim: also it makes one think that the Wire reviewer is one of those "songwriting uber alles" types.
	11:29am TomDash: ...and OF COURSE I missed Jan again - story of my life...
	11:29am Beast of Boonton: "One break coming up..."
	11:32am steveo: this enos is like spring break after collage
	11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This reminds me of Angelo Badala-dudewhosenameIcanneverspellcorrectly.
	11:32am YETI BOB: @sphere: I think The Bent Arcana wasn't druggy or proggy enough for the Wire reviewer. Right before the bit I quoted, he complains that it is "toted in its press release as a homage to progressive rock from days gone by. Yet it does not give off vibes of the intimate late night, drug-fueled and wonderfully ponderous studio explorations we associate with bands of this ilk."
	11:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Which month's issue is that review in?
	11:33am David (in London): morphe - 'Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot...'
	11:33am YETI BOB: October 2020, with The Arkestra on the cover
	11:33am tim from champaign (now washington): What would happen if Roger and Brian Eno were trapped in a room with Eddie and ALex Van Halen? My guess is that Alex and Eddie would frequently say "Sit down, Waldos!"
	11:36am David (in London): tim - Brian would have slowly and craftily converted them using the Oblique Strategies, as he did with Carlos Alomar.
	11:36am Yes: Good morning
	11:36am Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	11:37am Jason from Houston: ꒰⌯•̩̩̩́ ˑ̫ •̩̩̩̀⌯꒱
	11:37am Krys O.: I feel like I'm watching Brief Encounter.
	11:37am Jeezuseffinchrist: I'm here singing along with full interpretive chair dance, but it's more like, " I WANNA BE...." lol because I'm a huge dork
	11:37am egould310: Eric Carmen, yessss!!!! And I think he’s crazy, making love is still just for fun. Get over it, dude. Good song, though.
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): @David - totally! Evening Star II would be the result.
	11:37am TomDash: JA - that song cut out...is all ok?
	11:37am Jason from Houston: LOL
	11:38am YETI BOB: @D(iL): If I could favorite a comment, I would
	11:38am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey man, I was just getting into it!
	11:38am luka: and stay out of Riverdale!
	11:38am Jason from Houston: WUT
	11:38am Hubig Pie: Harsh
	11:38am Bob in DC: Good save
	11:38am Cmurtha: Oh now I just went on his twitter. WHY DID YOU DO THIS
	11:38am TomDash: raspberries, shmaspberries...
	11:41am Jason from Houston: No time for freaks like Carmen...
	11:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Keep JAZZ alive! Kick some ducketts JA's way!
	11:44am PaulRobeson1920: Twitter is a medium of communication not suited for serious public discourse. The form excludes the content... 140 characters...
	11:49am YETI BOB: wag little tail
	11:49am Ike: Counterpoint: Some comedians are excellent on Twitter. (And it's 280 characters now.)
	11:51am Jason from Houston: Love a good food song...
	11:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: twitter still exists? ......why?
	11:52am PaulRobeson1920: Happy Halloween everybody! I am going to be a Pumpkin! @Ike Absolutely there are some good people using Twitter.
	11:52am YETI BOB: @PR: I think Twitter is pretty bad but I don't think the character limit is the source of the problem. It's the whole environment, the "re-tweeting" and "following" and "trending" that amplifies stupidity
	11:52am David (in London): Afternoon Reverend.
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: @YB ... and the trolling.
	11:53am Rev. Turnip Druid: [salutes the heart of the Empire]
	11:54am PortsmouthJay: Great show, JA.
	11:54am Stillwell Coney Islander: Congratulations John !
	11:54am ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Sweet tunes.
	11:54am Acid Cazh: Social media isn't the problem — it's the monetization of social media. The companies benefit from "engagement" — and nothing drives engagement more than anger-driven mob mentality. Back when Twitter was profitless it was far less toxic. Same with Facebook.
	11:55am Acid Cazh: Thanks for the crate show JA! Happy Halloween!
	11:55am Ike: Excellent ancient Chinese cat poems via Twitter: www.openculture.com... Cats already had it figured out 800 years ago!
	11:58am YETI BOB: Those are great, Ike. "A Chinese Poet Describes Being Domesticated by His Own Cats"
	11:58am Ike: What Acid Cazh said at 11:54. We need more nonprofit social media. And nonprofit media in general. Small local newspapers need to all or mostly go to a nonprofit model instead of dying out.
	11:59am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks JA! Stay cool, mang!
	11:59am Acid Cazh: @Ike yes — donation driven, like the great WFMU!
	11:59am PaulRobeson1920: I love animals. Maybe I’ll be a Kitty Cat or a big old lizard or maybe a blue bird for Haloween
	11:59am YETI BOB: another great show, thanks for helping me get through 3 more hours of lockdown
	11:59am Morphe': thanks JA and all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:59am David (in London): Thanks JA. Later Groove-mongers.
	12:00pm Handy Haversack: Back with pumpkins, but the end is nigh! Thanks for the car tunes, JA!
	12:01pm PaulRobeson1920: Good Stuff JA in the Am! Happy Haloween Ya’ll

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from October 30, 2020

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:11am David (in London): Hey Handy, CYB, Phillippe, Krys and all other Groovers (tendency Allenite) here assembled.
	9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: The dirty legal ID.
	9:11am listener: good morning JA, nice job keeping the station legal.
	9:13am johnzo: good morrow fair listener catz
	9:15am Handy Haversack: David, how goes. WAB convo turned briefly to beans and HP on toast and the vagaries of the Royal Mail.
	9:15am John Allen: Hey everyone. Who's volunteering to be the comments board co-host for me today?
	9:15am YETI BOB: Totally irrelevant but funny: "AI Camera Ruins Soccer Game For Fans After Mistaking Referree's Bald Head For Ball" www.iflscience.com...
	9:16am YETI BOB: "Many viewers complained they missed their team scoring a goal because the camera "kept thinking the Lino bald head was the ball," and some even suggested the club would have to provide the linesman with a toupe or hat."
	9:17am John Allen: c'mon people. It's not a tough job...just say something like "that bald ref head represents the $ goal for this program."
	9:18am PortsmouthJay: that bald ref head represents the $ goal for this program.
	9:18am rsj: the lost track
	9:18am YETI BOB: We need a GOOOOOAL!
	9:19am Cal in Dothan: This is dope
	9:19am PortsmouthJay: GOAL: $1000.06
	9:19am Handy Haversack: That bald ref head represents the $ goal for this program. LET'S KICK IT!!!!
	9:19am David (in London): Handy, fascinating topics one and all. The GPO used to operate a driverless underground railway of its own under the city, known as the Mail Rail. Pretty cool.
	9:19am Phillippe Bastille: How's it going, DiL? Handy, still waiting on that tea.
	9:20am David (in London): The referee's a wanker! (But he still pledged $50 to WFMU).
	9:20am Handy Haversack: Phillippe. you have to send me your address and T-shirt size first. I'm not a tea reader!
	9:21am Strandlund: Good Morning Mr. Allen and all the AM fans!!
	9:21am YETI BOB: @D(iL): You probably know about the great Chicago fire but do you know about the Chicago flood of 1992?
	9:21am Phillippe Bastille: You're supposed to know these things...
	9:21am adampsyche: good mornign johnallen
	9:21am TDK60: Good morning radio people. Windy, rainy day in Manhattan. Going to vote today. I'll stand in line with a gale blowing. There are worse things.
	9:21am PortsmouthJay: Mornin' @Strandlund. What's the word of the day?
	9:22am Handy Haversack: TDK60, Knormalish went to the same place we did around 1 PM and there was no line -- avoid opening time, and maybe it will be short? Also, Kate and I are going to morphe''s garden on Tue. next week. See you there?
	9:23am David (in London): No so bad Phillippe, sliding slowly into weekend atrophy. Hey TDK. CYB - No, I confess I don't. But I'm about to educate myself...!
	9:23am Strandlund: @PortsmouthJay...GOAL!!!
	9:23am John Allen: hey adam, snow up there?
	9:24am YETI BOB: "The Chicago Tunnel Company was the builder and operator of a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge railway freight tunnel network under downtown Chicago. It inspired the construction of the London Post Office Railway."
	9:24am YETI BOB: It was built in the early 20th century ... and abandonded ... and subsequently completely forgotten.
	9:24am John Allen: hey folks, we need a goal
	9:25am Acid Cazh: My fiancée and I are arguing over that last track,"Trusted Environment." I say it sounds like softcore porn soundtrack. She says it sounds like an jazz band at an airport bar at 7:30pm trying to sound sexy but failing. Anyone else have thoughts?
	9:25am YETI BOB: While working on the Kinzie St Bridge, pilings pierced the tunnel and it flooded. The water went straight into to all the basements in Chicago that the freight service used to service.
	9:25am John Allen: Acid, what if i told you your both right?
	9:27am YETI BOB: Billions of dollars in damage. Really crazy story. The building owners didn't even know that this tunnel was there until water started pouring through long-shuttered gates.
	9:27am PortsmouthJay: JA: the goal should be $943 -- seems that's what you need today! 👾
	9:27am Handy Haversack: For a single pledge of $943, all will be revealed!
	9:27am David (in London): CYB - I now feel inspired to write a song called 'The Great Chicago Flood', in the style of 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down'.
	9:28am Acid Cazh: No reason we can't both be right! When I told her it was a German artist who released it last month on an album called "Hold Music Vol 1" she said "That follows."
	9:28am John Allen: no problem Handy, we can dig ourselves of of this
	9:28am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Was out on a local walk,perhaps i passed next to the jazz mobile,got a jazz cigarette for sure.
	9:28am YETI BOB: @D(iL): I'd love to hear it.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: JA, can you commit to revealing all the secrets (of, you know, JAZZ, but also whatever else) if we hit $943? I think we can incentivize this. The people want to know!
	9:29am YETI BOB: "Avoid 2 and 4". Ooops, I spilled the beans!
	9:30am YETI BOB: it's OK, there are other jazz secrets that only JA knows
	9:32am terminalhipness: Everything JA does is jazz, even when he has to go move the car
	9:33am John Allen: i dunno about secrets Yeti, I totally got this one wrong..."NEW YORK - Brooklyn jazz musician Stanley Wright, who'd been missing since last Thursday, was found dead in a storage trunk in his basement, authorities said. Police found the musician's body upon searching his house shortly after he was reported missing by his son early Tuesday morning."
	9:33am rsj: lost in a bill pullman fantasy
	9:33am luka: is this saxophone the platonic ideal of skyline motif jazz graphics? i'll hang up and listen to your answer.
	9:33am tak: now that was a fine president
	9:34am YETI BOB: Here are the real "secrets of jazz" - 25 tips from the coolest cat ever, Thelonious Monk. If you've never seen this before, this is gold: www.openculture.com...
	9:34am Ike: Hi all. @Acid, I like your cat.
	9:34am Phillippe Bastille: @Acid sadly I missed the tune -- was digging around in the pantry for something -- anything! -- with caffeine
	9:34am Acid Cazh: Thanks @Ike! He likes you. His name is Catman, and he's always looking for someone to sit on and purr.
	9:35am melinda: Reminds me of 80s city-based movies
	9:35am Acid Cazh: @Phillippe: beatbude.bandcamp.com...
	9:36am Acid Cazh: Obvs bookmark it and wait to listen until JA's show is over
	9:36am Phillippe Bastille: @JA so... suicide?
	9:37am Crudbringer: morning everyone! <🎵HANDS🎵>
	9:37am Handy Haversack: Death by storage is a real problem in Brooklyn apartments.
	9:37am johnc: Hi all! How do I get a jazz shirt? I pledged last week but wasn't given the option of the jazz shirt
	9:37am David (in London): melinda - Yes, something like 'To Live and Die in LA'.
	9:38am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Acid!
	9:40am luka: we've replaced glenn frey with folger's crystals. let's see if they notice.
	9:40am Handy Haversack: @johnc, you have to pledge $75 for a DJ Premium, which the JAZZ shirt is. If you wanted to pledge again to make your pledge = $75, then just drop Joe McGasko a line to say you want to add the JAZZ swag. Or, samewise, if you pledged $75 but missed that option, drop him a line.
	9:41am Handy Haversack: (That is to say, with the first option, pledge to make your total = $75 and add in the notes to the office and/or write Joe an e-mail explaining how it happened and ask to get your JAZZ swag!)
	9:42am johnc: Thank you Handy! Will do!
	9:42am Handy Haversack: The spirit of 9:42 lives on Fridays, too!
	9:43am David (in London): Oh man, I love Westchester Lady. My friend Danny introduced me to Bob James many years ago. It's a massive hunk of beautiful cheese.
	9:43am Stillwell Coney Islander: JAZZY ❤️ !! Morning
	9:43am Phillippe Bastille: I had self-excluded from the 9:42 thing. Now I feel bad.
	9:43am andy the painter: yeah, just got into Grand ace
	9:44am fionnland: Agreed, David - though my first exposure was on this show last week!
	9:44am PKNY: "Westchester Lady" has a perfect combo of smoothness and 70s cop show vibes. "Nautilus" is my personal favorite Bob James jam, though.
	9:44am D Rok: Digging the playlist this morning, John.
	9:45am luka: more like Bob Jams
	9:45am John Allen: best thing about his first record is it's him and Robert Ashley. Wonder if they ever shared a cab...
	9:46am andy the painter: Grand Central...gonna hit the accounting with a bialy at my desk. cable guy should be coming to the house to hook up the basement. Terry said she could let him in....
	9:46am sphere: This feels very 80s TV theme song.
	9:46am Ike: @luka@9:40, ha ha. I understood that reference. @Acid@9:34, that's my favorite kind of cat! My cats prefer to sit on the warm stereo receiver because it's warmer than me. So if I want them to sit on my lap instead, I have to turn off WFMU. Pffft, I can't do that!
	9:46am sphere: And hello.
	9:46am David (in London): Tough, uncompromising cop, David London, patrols the mean streets of Hackney. Soundtrack by Bob James.
	9:47am PKNY: @JA - oh, you're talking about the record he put out in the 60s, and not "One"
	9:47am John Allen: hey all! Tshirt posted at the top of the playlist. throw us $75 and its yours!
	9:48am John Allen: right, esp
	9:48am TDK60: David, you don't have the tough job of patrolling Belgravia, eh?
	9:48am melinda: @David haha
	9:49am PKNY: Haven't checked that one, will need to rectify that. Bob has also done soooo many nice appearances as a sideman on CTI/Kudu records. The keys on Idris Muhammad's "Loran's Dance"? So dope.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: I see David London at the end of this song stumbling into a workers' organizing meeting and beginning his political -- and romantic -- awakening ...
	9:49am melinda: My favorite Bob James will always be the Taxi theme
	9:49am David (in London): TDK - I was transferred out of Belgravia due to my insolence, bad attitude and refusal to play by the rules.
	9:52am melinda: I watched Prince of the City a while back, classic movie about NYC cop corruption and it was funny to hear the moody sax interludes that now seem dated but were just part of the cinematic landscape then.
	9:53am Handy Haversack: You're off the case, McGarnickle!
	9:54am Kaper79: I see what your doing here , SYNC> hehe
	9:56am Acid Cazh: @Ike: This cat will follow you around meowing until you lay down so he can sit on your chest. If you don't get there quick enough he'll start bitting at your ankles. Then he kneads and drools. Very demanding kitty.
	10:00am karlward: Obligatory call for angry cat jazz
	10:01am Acid Cazh: I second the call for angry cat jazz
	10:01am Acid Cazh: Not sure what it is, but it sounds like it's right up my alley.
	10:02am sphere: i prefer mildly annoyed cat jazz.
	10:02am John Allen: i can bring in the jazz cats with another pledge
	10:04am karlward: Angry cat jazz, or just some DNA, I'm not picky
	10:05am Handy Haversack: Tough but fair, JA!
	10:06am John Allen: i saw a jump. get ready
	10:08am YETI BOB: i'll be back when this is over. i can take this but my 4-footed friends can't!
	10:08am egould310: Meow! From Seattle.
	10:09am PortsmouthJay: Had to turn it down because the cats freaked out and started scratching the walls. :(
	10:10am Hubig Pie: I gotsa ankle bitin' feline too
	10:11am Handy Haversack: My cats didn't even stir. Nor the dog.
	10:11am monica: dancing to this set... so much movement!
	10:12am John Allen: hey everyone. Pledge for movement!
	10:12am Roberto: Is this guy's name really jack-off-itch?
	10:13am Ken From Hyde Park: Pledge for disgruntled cat jazz! 🐈‍
	10:13am John Allen: Roberto, pledge for interpretations
	10:16am sphere: pledge for postmodernism!
	10:19am Handy Haversack: Pledge for hermeneutics! (And Daybreak!)
	10:20am karlward: Man, The Cure has some weird b-sides from the mid 80s
	10:26am Roberto: I would more likely pledge for angry cats! But I've already pledged (and paid in full) anyway.
	10:27am Acid Cazh: Every time I run out to move the car after alternate-side parking my fiancée calls me Frank Costanza
	10:27am Acid Cazh: I don't think she gets it, she doesn't drive.
	10:29am Handy Haversack: We're combining car moving with emergency pumpkin shopping today.
	10:30am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy JA and Make Jazz Like Spyro Gyra Agaign movementers.
	10:31am Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ CUÍCA TIME ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	10:34am Roberto: Did the Giant Man go solo?
	10:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Gizzards, just remembered I need to sign up for the Zoom party with Marty that happens tomorrow night - www.eventbrite.com...
	10:39am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Ken! Kate and I and various other mammals will be there!
	10:39am Crudbringer: god, the holidays used to mean driving to Chicago and then, yes - moving cars around under the supervision of my father-in-law. and aimless parvas y cafe all morning
	10:42am David (in London): Handy - I was tempted, but the time difference... Skeptech was just about do-able, but this is pushing it too far for me.
	10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: @David i L - Alternatively, you could wake up early Sunday morning for the Mon Ami portion of the party.
	10:47am David (in London): Ken, my wife likes FMU as much as the next carbon-based life form, but I think she might take a dim view of that.
	10:47am Handy Haversack: The veils might really thin if you reach us from All Saints Day while we're still on All Hallows Eve, David. I do think the station should do some events timed for our European and Europe-adjacent listeners -- and then keep moving around the globe!
	10:51am melinda: I love Nina's version of Bojangles
	10:52am tim from champaign (now washington): I don't think there's a song that cannot be elevated by Nina Simone.
	10:52am adampsyche: what tim said
	10:56am steveo: i'm not sure what to say
	10:56am steveo: oh wait how about "hi"
	10:56am John Allen: hey steveo
	10:57am Handy Haversack: We're fixing to go on this pumpkin-and-parking run. We'll be listening in the car.
	10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Is Haley Fohr also Circuit de Yeux?
	10:57am Morphe': Never new Jerry Jeff wrote that...
	10:57am luka: sounds like it, tim. what a voice.
	10:57am John Allen: tim, yes
	10:57am Mike W: @JA what’s this Haley track from? I’ve lost touch a bit @tim yes
	10:58am Morphe': EarthWalker - are you out there???? Ok?
	10:58am Mike W: good sunless new york city morning to my fellow JAAMmers
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mike W. We have the dog in his Stefon sweater and are going to drag him along. Hopefully back before the end!
	10:59am Morphe': Tim from C - I was going to write "Nina does the best covers!!!!!"
	11:00am YETI BOB: @tim: She's also Jackie Lynn
	11:01am sphere: @tim: she's also Circuit des Yeux.
	11:03am Mike W: oh, “bluesy Diamanda” is pretty keen
	11:06am David (in London): Hey morphester.
	11:07am karlward: HELL YES
	11:08am YETI BOB: um what happened to this song?
	11:09am Morphe': Hello David van der Stoke!!! Halloween always makes me think of Guy Fawkes day and the reverse is also true...
	11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks for the confirmation folks! JA - Did you say Mick Collins was involved in this?
	11:09am fionnland: Haha - can't tell if deliberate
	11:10am Jason from Houston: So fine...
	11:10am HappyHolmes: every other beat missing?
	11:11am karlward: Brian Eno hears "New Grub Street" for the first time. Doesn't leave his apartment for days. Despondent. Bryan Ferry calls, no answer. Ferry calls again and again. Finally, Eno answers: "What's the point, Bryan? Western Eyes, Bryan. Western Eyes." Hangs up. It will be two more years before Eno puts out another record.
	11:14am steveo: whoa that is from 1984 whoa
	11:15am Morphe': Regarding the skipping/stuttering song: In the spirit of Irreverent X-Ray Burns -I was going to make a bad joke about the guy did not go to his speech therapy classes but I do not want to get banned -OOOOPPPPPSSSS. I can make that joke as I refused to go to my speech therapy classes in 2nd grade Brooklyn Catholic School .. being IN the outsider group gives joking ... Like the guy with Tourettes who made the film about Tourettes called "Twitch and Shout" - a great informative film - especially about the different forms of Tourettes.
	11:16am YETI BOB: Unlistenable in 1984, unlistenable in 2020! (but this Bent Arcana is great)
	11:16am tim from champaign (now washington): Is Bent Arcana going to bust into Radar Love?
	11:17am sphere: The Wire did not like Bent Arcana at all, but I totally dig them.
	11:19am tim from champaign (now washington): I dig Bent Arcana too. What did the Wire say about them?
	11:19am Morphe': Wonering about the origins of Arcana, Indiana??? https://roadsidethoughts.com/in/arcana-xx-grant-profile.htm website does not answer the question???
	11:20am sphere: They kinda just briefly slagged them off as lame prog in an overall package review centering around the OHSEES.
	11:21am YETI BOB: @Tim: I just dug out the October issue - "the sound made by a load of fusion-loving music store employees tinkering around with a new shipment of gear before the boss shows up."
	11:23am YETI BOB: "only flashes of excitement to be found", etc etc. They love the Brigid Dawson record though (backed by Sunwatchers) - I've gotta check that one out
	11:23am sphere: sorry tim, "lame fusion." :)
	11:24am PaulRobeson1920: Sweet Jams JA!
	11:24am johnc: Eddie!
	11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): @Sphere and YB - that's the type of bad review that I think "this make me want to check it out".
	11:26am YETI BOB: @morphe': The name Arcana is likely derived from a Latin word meaning "secluded". (via Wikipedia).
	11:27am Tome: Eddie's ie.. "machine gun" !<>!
	11:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Really good article on Eddie in RS: www.rollingstone.com... Man, Eddie was a mess at times. Amazing what he ended up putting out.
	11:27am luka: friday morning in the park
	11:27am luka: {flangers intensify}
	11:28am mrmikestandsir: Funny, I recognized what was going on here from the snare sound.
	11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @John Allen: Cool collage!
	11:28am TomDash: digging the collage...
	11:28am PKNY: "One Foot Out the Door" is rulin' so hard right now!
	11:28am sphere: @ tim: also it makes one think that the Wire reviewer is one of those "songwriting uber alles" types.
	11:29am TomDash: ...and OF COURSE I missed Jan again - story of my life...
	11:29am Beast of Boonton: "One break coming up..."
	11:32am steveo: this enos is like spring break after collage
	11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This reminds me of Angelo Badala-dudewhosenameIcanneverspellcorrectly.
	11:32am YETI BOB: @sphere: I think The Bent Arcana wasn't druggy or proggy enough for the Wire reviewer. Right before the bit I quoted, he complains that it is "toted in its press release as a homage to progressive rock from days gone by. Yet it does not give off vibes of the intimate late night, drug-fueled and wonderfully ponderous studio explorations we associate with bands of this ilk."
	11:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Which month's issue is that review in?
	11:33am David (in London): morphe - 'Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot...'
	11:33am YETI BOB: October 2020, with The Arkestra on the cover
	11:33am tim from champaign (now washington): What would happen if Roger and Brian Eno were trapped in a room with Eddie and ALex Van Halen? My guess is that Alex and Eddie would frequently say "Sit down, Waldos!"
	11:36am David (in London): tim - Brian would have slowly and craftily converted them using the Oblique Strategies, as he did with Carlos Alomar.
	11:36am Yes: Good morning
	11:36am Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	11:37am Jason from Houston: ꒰⌯•̩̩̩́ ˑ̫ •̩̩̩̀⌯꒱
	11:37am Krys O.: I feel like I'm watching Brief Encounter.
	11:37am Jeezuseffinchrist: I'm here singing along with full interpretive chair dance, but it's more like, " I WANNA BE...." lol because I'm a huge dork
	11:37am egould310: Eric Carmen, yessss!!!! And I think he’s crazy, making love is still just for fun. Get over it, dude. Good song, though.
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): @David - totally! Evening Star II would be the result.
	11:37am TomDash: JA - that song cut out...is all ok?
	11:37am Jason from Houston: LOL
	11:38am YETI BOB: @D(iL): If I could favorite a comment, I would
	11:38am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey man, I was just getting into it!
	11:38am luka: and stay out of Riverdale!
	11:38am Jason from Houston: WUT
	11:38am Hubig Pie: Harsh
	11:38am Bob in DC: Good save
	11:38am Cmurtha: Oh now I just went on his twitter. WHY DID YOU DO THIS
	11:38am TomDash: raspberries, shmaspberries...
	11:41am Jason from Houston: No time for freaks like Carmen...
	11:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Keep JAZZ alive! Kick some ducketts JA's way!
	11:44am PaulRobeson1920: Twitter is a medium of communication not suited for serious public discourse. The form excludes the content... 140 characters...
	11:49am YETI BOB: wag little tail
	11:49am Ike: Counterpoint: Some comedians are excellent on Twitter. (And it's 280 characters now.)
	11:51am Jason from Houston: Love a good food song...
	11:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: twitter still exists? ......why?
	11:52am PaulRobeson1920: Happy Halloween everybody! I am going to be a Pumpkin! @Ike Absolutely there are some good people using Twitter.
	11:52am YETI BOB: @PR: I think Twitter is pretty bad but I don't think the character limit is the source of the problem. It's the whole environment, the "re-tweeting" and "following" and "trending" that amplifies stupidity
	11:52am David (in London): Afternoon Reverend.
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: @YB ... and the trolling.
	11:53am Rev. Turnip Druid: [salutes the heart of the Empire]
	11:54am PortsmouthJay: Great show, JA.
	11:54am Stillwell Coney Islander: Congratulations John !
	11:54am ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Sweet tunes.
	11:54am Acid Cazh: Social media isn't the problem — it's the monetization of social media. The companies benefit from "engagement" — and nothing drives engagement more than anger-driven mob mentality. Back when Twitter was profitless it was far less toxic. Same with Facebook.
	11:55am Acid Cazh: Thanks for the crate show JA! Happy Halloween!
	11:55am Ike: Excellent ancient Chinese cat poems via Twitter: www.openculture.com... Cats already had it figured out 800 years ago!
	11:58am YETI BOB: Those are great, Ike. "A Chinese Poet Describes Being Domesticated by His Own Cats"
	11:58am Ike: What Acid Cazh said at 11:54. We need more nonprofit social media. And nonprofit media in general. Small local newspapers need to all or mostly go to a nonprofit model instead of dying out.
	11:59am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks JA! Stay cool, mang!
	11:59am Acid Cazh: @Ike yes — donation driven, like the great WFMU!
	11:59am PaulRobeson1920: I love animals. Maybe I’ll be a Kitty Cat or a big old lizard or maybe a blue bird for Haloween
	11:59am YETI BOB: another great show, thanks for helping me get through 3 more hours of lockdown
	11:59am Morphe': thanks JA and all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
