	🥀 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Mona and greetings, Diamanda! diamandagalas.bandcamp.com
	3:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Diamanda Galás" Wow. What a powerful & distinctive Artist. Sometimes - Diamanda Galás is the only Medicine that will do...
	3:12pm common: i went to greece and learned about so much history from my friend and her family. good to hear this!
	3:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Britannia Waives the Rules
	3:14pm nadalex: Hi Diamanda! Im listening and will play for Stephanie tonight! She has tried to call and amsays please call her sometime. So wonderful to hear you talking about poets.
	3:14pm nadalex: This is Alexis in Albany
	3:15pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Mona, Diamanda Galas interview!!
	3:16pm TDK60: Hi Mona. I'm really enjoying this conversation.
	3:16pm Jeff Moore: The word "exotic" always creeps me the F out – it's a word which says way more about the speaker (and what that speaker is unfamiliar with) than about the purported subject. And that's before we get to the massive corpus of just gross white men using the word about Asian women. Eww.
	🥀 3:18pm Handy Haversack: I hope pwrmnstr is hearing this.
	3:18pm Ira: Mona and Diamanda Galás on WFMU! So cool!
	3:22pm San Pedro Girl: I really appreciate what Diamonda is saying. She is spot on.
	3:24pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" This sounds SO good.
	🥀 3:25pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" wowowow! so perfect.
	🥀 3:27pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" Sooooo good...
	3:27pm alexandra: So so so good 💜
	3:28pm c lav: caught her show at St. Thomas the Apostle church in Harlem NY in 2016, one of the most intense concerts of my life
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" Chorus ~ chords are like 'Happy Together' ...which is either meaningless or interesting irony ...anyhow - WOOSH.
	3:28pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Greetings, all. I got here as soon as I could. Appointment radio!
	3:28pm nadalex: Writer or musician... why not both? And a translator too!
	3:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" My mother was born in East Los Angeles. My sister and I heard about La Llorona, Deuendes and the Cucuey from her. She was quite a ham, so she would embellish these these crazy Mexican folk tails for maximum effect... ...kind of like Diamanda, really.
	3:31pm mmzm: maan, just got out of zoom meeting. what did I miss?
	3:32pm mmzm: btw I am also an admirer of her piano work, the last piano album was good too.
	🥀 3:38pm Handy Haversack: Now that I think about it, it's kind of a wonder that Diamanda Galas and Tom Waits have never collaborated.
	3:38pm zumzar: Dear Diamanda, are you coming to Porto any soon? I see your 2024 tour info and it is all US. It would be great to see you and hear your soul singing once again.
	3:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Pardon Me, I've Got Someone To Kill" by "Diamanda... Best version since Andre Williams'
	3:42pm Ochre Ogre: One can be an artist/musician and publicly against social injustice.
	3:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:38 Woah!
	3:42pm pot8o: ↳ zumzar @3:38 do you have a link? i'm not seeing anything on her website
	3:45pm StringOFperils: It's good to be polite right before you commit murder.
	3:46pm c lav: the bleep hahah yasss
	3:46pm nadalex: Love the bleep! Does Mona have a button to just do thst live?
	3:48pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ c lav @3:46 I think this interview was prerecorded.
	3:49pm Ochre Ogre: Kinda like Cajun music.
	3:50pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:49 ...largely ignored.
	3:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:49 Or Cowboy Carter. They don't dig that in Nashville.
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hank Williams, Sr.'s greatest influence was an old Black Bluesman. There is so much Blues in Hank ...yet he's considered the Father of Modern Country. The old joke about 'I like both kinds of Music - Country & Western' has some basis in fact : 'Country' meant Hill Music (Bluegrass & Old UK forms), & 'Western' Cowboy songs ...which you know... Of course - what is it ? A third of actual Cowboys were Black ? For everybody hung up about Beyonce or anybody else... But anyhow - Kuntry as we now it now kinda dates only to the 1940s ? Like most of our Popular forms in way...
	3:51pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" This version gonna make the earth shake.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:51 *Know it now...
	3:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:49 The Starvation Waltz by Hobo Bertrand is the most flipped out Cajun record ever.
	3:53pm dei xhrist: It's wonderful to hear this exploration of Galas' work! I often try to sing along to her recordings to develop my own voice.
	3:53pm ?: this is exactly how I feel right now
	3:54pm steveo: she's so good
	3:54pm zachary: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" I'm really digging this song. Never heard of Diamanda Galás, but I will be checking out more of her work. Thanks, Mona!
	3:54pm c lav: diamanda in 90degrees woooboy
	3:55pm Claudia: Loving this interview! DC INC's New Music America Festival presented Galas at the Pension Building in 1983. It is the National Building Museum now, in the re-vamped DC. The Artists helped this happen by inhabiting the abandoned downtown. Galas was intense and shocking at the time. I am overjoyed to hear her on WFMU. Her strength is palpable. Thank you both and all the crew, too!!!
	3:55pm Dean: This is why I nicknamed by newborn daughter "my little Diamanda Galás."
	3:55pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" Impressive sustain.
	3:55pm Dean: ^"my newborn..."
	3:56pm c lav: ↳ Claudia @3:55 wowww seing her in '83 must have been insane, like no reference point at all, pure terror
	3:56pm StringOFperils: Cosmic lamentations for all that hurts and all who suffer
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There should be Movies made around her. She's like a living Special Effect. A vocal Apparition.
	3:57pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" Cathartic without a shred of new age bullshit.
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:57 - or Goth posturing, for that matter.
	🥀 3:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Vocal Fry shows featuring Diamanda Galás: www.wfmu.org... & www.wfmu.org...
	3:59pm jessica is cool: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" rocked my world
	3:59pm zachary: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:58 Thanks, Ken. Of course Vocal Fry has Diamanda. Makes sense.
	🥀 4:01pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Mona and all!!!
	4:01pm ?: gay people can get married
	4:03pm Franco Twinkie: ...now it's getting good!
	4:04pm c lav: diamanda is peak medusa, yes!
	4:04pm Franco Twinkie: Lucy Sante to you!
	4:04pm Dean: I'd love to hear her take on Cyprus.
	4:05pm c lav: omg the pic of manuel hahah

	4:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 👏

	4:09pm charles east: ↳ Mona @4:06 so glad you did
	4:09pm cheyenne: What an interview!!! 🖤🖤🖤
	4:10pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:08 Ha, right.
	4:12pm Ochre Ogre: Great interview!
	🥀 4:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Great work again this week, Mona! 🎙️
	4:22pm Magenta: Great interview, Mona!
	4:22pm Mona: thanks for saying friends! i was very intimidated, but she really put me at ease. what an amazing person!
	4:22pm common: agreed. great great great, mona!
	4:23pm Mona: ↳ @4:01 diamanda's gay husband died of AIDS long before gay marriage was legalized.
	4:23pm charles east: she is just so cool nd clever
	4:26pm Dean: But if her gay "husband" was male and she is female, then there were no legal barriers, were there? I guess it's academic at this point, but curious.
	4:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mona @4:22 Such a heavy - but so straightforward ! So impressed by you both.
	4:32pm TDK60: I definitely "star-clicked" this show for future reference. Thanks, Mona.
	4:33pm Buckaroo: WOW. I don't think I've EVER heard One Dove on the radio. This CD was 1993 for me.
	4:33pm zachary: ↳ Song: "Fallen" by "One Dove" Every time I hear sample-based music I want to go and make music on my samplers.
	4:34pm zachary: ↳ Mona @4:22 Amazing work, Mona!
	4:35pm c lav: dancing in the a/c over here
	🥀 4:37pm Handy Haversack: Just picked about a pint of Brooklyn black raspberries out back and lost a similar amount of blood to thorns and, mainly, skeeters.
	4:37pm Ochre Ogre: I see Diamanda and Marina Abramovic in the same league.
	4:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 mulberries are about ripe here in the yard. never cooked w/ them before....(just ate some off the tree)
	4:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @4:42 franco baked mulberry pie recently...maybe consult
	4:43pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Keep My Mouth Out Of Your Name" by "Early Internet" Nice! I love the shimmering shoegazery sweetness and light. :)
	4:43pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Keep My Mouth Out Of Your Name" by "Early Internet" oh boy this is nice
	🥀 4:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:43 Did you and pwrmnstr hear the interview?
	4:45pm Destroit: Hi Mona and co. Glad to be here. Glad its Friday.
	🥀 4:45pm bluecharlie: Hi! Darn! I missed the interview! I had a good reason, really I did. I hope it'll be up in the archives! Mona, you're such a great interviewer. I really enjoy listening to your conversations
	4:46pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned For A Thing I C... Nice! Keep the shoegazery bliss comin'!!!!!!
	4:46pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Dean @4:26 Correct. No legal barriers. They could marry one another, but not people of their respective, preferred gender preference. That sort of union offered cover at a time when people were expected to marry. Though it was love in the way friends love each other, it must have been dissatisfying. Their outside love affairs were still not socially acceptable. Gay people were, and still are, persecuted and often killed.
	4:46pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:45 We sure did! We are both, naturally, big fans. pwrmnstr is now taking a nap before we head to Irving Plaza for Guided By Voices
	4:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dark Waves" by "Men Seni Suyemin" new to me and digdug! (as well as cold gawd)
	4:47pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned For A Thing I C... oh boy oh boy this is nice this is nice
	4:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b @4:46 what johnny said!!!🙂
	4:48pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:46 bob barth on the sheena stream interviewed the director of the new disco doc on PBS and went way into depth about gay civil rights (as well as other marginalized communities, racial or sexual preference)
	🥀 4:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:46 Excellent on all accounts! Hope she's feeling better! I'm taking off for a couple of weeks on Sunday. If you guys, can, go see Blank Account and Upper Wilds(!) at Berlin on Wednesday -- should be great! I hate to miss it.
	4:51pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 Found it: www.ohmyrockness.com...
	🥀 4:52pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Say My Name" by "The Belair Lip Bombs" Is the chick in this band the same from CLAMM?
	4:52pm Destroit: This Belair Lip track is outstanding
	4:52pm Dean: Thanks, San Pedro Girl. In spring 2004 I took a Law & Sexuality course in law school with two amazing professors, Angela Harris and Kathy Abrams. After the Valentine's Day weekend, when then Mayor Newsom kick-started real government action in favor of same-sex marriage, we of course discussed the development. Two out queer guys in class, one a friend I love and admire to this day, lamented the action. They wanted the government out of their private lives entirely. This entailed eliminating the institution of marriage altogether. I have to say, even though (and not because) I'm a married man, I get their point.
	4:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:46 i don't know the specifics of the relationship but generally many unions similar to galas' were based around getting a green card for one of them
	4:52pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Say My Name" by "The Belair Lip Bombs" holy cow this, too is nice
	4:53pm Dean: Heh, I know a person, now happily married for decades, who married at least twice before exactly to get a green card for the partner.
	4:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @4:52 there are many legal benefits to be married. to eliminate marriage, those issues need to be addressed
	4:54pm Destroit: And now this Attack acks trak is one upping Belair track. Mona on a roll!
	4:54pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:51 Unlikely we can make the Wednesday show, Handy, as pwrmnstr has to be up stupid early Thursday for on-site work (which she hasn't had to do for the last two years or so, this is the first time since maybe 2021) ... but who knows, maybe we can make it!
	4:54pm Dean: Yes, ngh, exactly the point of the two marvelous contrarians in class.
	4:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @4:52 that's plenty interesting
	4:56pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:52 i have a friend who has been two hetero marriages for cash for a green card.
	4:56pm Dean: Of course, one response to my classmates is that marriage is an aspect of one's public life, at which point we need to refer to our Foucault.
	4:57pm TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 I haven't seen/felt any skeeters on this island, HH. Yet. Bon Voyage!
	🥀 4:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:54 I gotcha. There's another, daytime show, 7/13 at Mama Tried with Shell Shag(!!), which might be easier for youse.
	4:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @4:56 (i once made a tee-shirt that proclaimed, "i was foucault's love slave".) , my mother threw it out when I was visiting home about 20 years ago.
	🥀 4:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @4:57 Oh, wow, you are lucky! The back yards are lousy with them here.
	4:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @4:56 u huh wasn't discounting those relationships, i think the mixed orientation relationships i knew of no money was involved and one couple didn't live with each other
	4:59pm TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:58 HH; It may be that I live on a windy hill, high above the river. Hudson Heights it's called.
	4:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:58 everyone around me gets bit by skeeters (they're out here in VT). but, i got bit exactly once the whole time i was in FL where they're omnipresent all the time.
	5:00pm northguineahills: ↳ TDK60 @4:59 skeeters steer clear of me, i never use insect repellent.
	5:00pm c lav: ↳ Song: "Life (featuring Robyn)" by "Jamie xx" This is also giving me life!!!
	5:01pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:59 mos def.... i've had friends of all orientations lose a friend/partner due us deportation bs.....
	5:02pm Dean: Foucault spent time here at Berkeley, of course, and one of my colleagues at the law school interviewed him when he was a Ph.D. student at Cal. He asked me to find the archived, digitized files...and I did.
	5:02pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:58 We will be on a flight back from Jacksonville seeing my family 😩
	🥀 5:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:02 One day!
	5:03pm tom tom the pipers son: i don't know how much of a demographic fran liebowitz represents in the gay community but she expresses a more or less meh attitude when it came to gay marrriage
	5:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @5:02 excellent. sounds like a task i would really enjoy....
	5:03pm Imgur: Absolute banger
	5:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:02 i'm so sorry!!! 😜 /went to hs in jax and father still lives there...
	5:03pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:02 Definitely! One of these days we'll see Blank Account, I regularly go check the upcoming dates to see if anything new's been added. Gotta duck out now, time to go see some Bob Pollard & Co. www.wfmu.org...
	5:03pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Back To One" by "Peggy Gou" Great segue into this jammer.
	🥀 5:04pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Back To One" by "Peggy Gou" Those are some big ears!
	5:04pm Acid Cazh: ↳ northguineahills @5:03 Oh I don't even want to talk about it, my family all moved there — I'd never willingly set foot in the state of Florida otherwise. OK off to GBV, bye everyone, happy Weekend!
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:04 i escaped FL, and glad for it!
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:04 oh, and enjoy gbv!
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Sean T-Rex @5:04 earie, ain't it!
	5:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:05 you should contact john carpenter
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:06 worst sequel evar!!! (escape from FL)
	5:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:06 idk...desantis good villian...disney plotpoints gators ...a lot to work with
	5:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Dean @4:52 Having been married and divorced, I wonder why people are so eager to enter into such legal contracts...equal opportunity misery…ironic…Freedom is what I desire. I did not find it in marriage.
	5:10pm Juli P: Oh my! I missed much of this amaze special
	5:11pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:08 add this in, and we have a flick! www.dailymotion.com...
	5:12pm Juli P: Never really listened to Diamanda before but I have heard something & felt like a soul connection to their music: So excited to hear this in the archive
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:08 after divorce my ex told me she didn't think i was ready for marriage....i had no idea what she meant
	5:12pm chresti: Hi Mona and mes amis!
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:11 sooo funny!
	5:12pm Dean: Marriage is about partnership, which is a relinquishment of freedom, ideally with a net benefit.
	🥀 5:15pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Dean @5:12 I'm sorry if this was said but... Can't you argue that marriage is just a legal agreement? Cause you can have partnership without it
	5:15pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Misty Circles (Demo)" by "Dead or Alive" Thank you for reminding me I have to get another copy of Youthquake.
	5:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @5:12 in appropriate and complicated to get into why it ended, but we never tired of being with one another, that was the partnership
	5:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sirius Syntoms" by "Lindstrøm" daggnabbit, i step out and missed lindstrom......
	🥀 5:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Dean @5:12 I sometimes -- usually -- think of marriage a lot like the cops: an institution that is supposed to be good for society but that has its foundations so deep in oppression, violence, and even outright slavery that I don't think that it's salvageable. But I'm notoriously a downer.
	5:17pm ?: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:37 Once upon a time Marina Abramovic did have the same ferocity and commitment as Diamanda -especially the work she did with her then-partner Ulay- but she has since descended into Art Star "celebrity" self-caricature. Diamanda, however, remains as raw, feral, and unfiltered as ever.
	5:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ @5:17 hard agree
	5:18pm Juli P: ↳ Dean @5:12 Net? AS in lol? What
	5:18pm Juli P: Art should be paid for for everyone:
	5:19pm DanFA: ↳ @5:17 I quite enjoyed the piece she did where she locked people inside the gallery, lit it on fire, and locked the doors from the outside so people couldn't get out.
	5:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Sean T-Rex @5:15 mine was a convenience for the green card as we were both freelancing, but later during the pandemic it became the point...(meh, a 14 year relationship, it was a good run).
	5:20pm ?: ↳ DanFA @5:19 she has certainly lost her edge, or her conviction, or is just glad to become a commodity and be comfortable
	5:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:16 after looking at this we'd have been better off unmarried
	5:22pm DanFA: ↳ @5:20 And running up the steps of an old castle, what was with that?
	5:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ @5:20 complete 180 degree turn
	5:24pm northguineahills: ok, rain is abating for a hot second, so, I'm off for a speed walk. thanks mona and my monite friends! happy friday!
	5:24pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ northguineahills @5:24 Peace, you too!
	5:25pm northguineahills: ↳ 80sZuulScully @5:24 palabara!
	5:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:24 see ya...
	5:26pm Dean: I want to engage the comments about marriage, but I'm in a meeting! Damnit.
	5:26pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Dean @5:26 Hahaha
	5:28pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Ooh! This was my first Yaeji
	5:29pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:28 Hey! What do you think? Guap is also excellent.
	5:29pm William Smith: Hi Mona! I sadly missed your interview with Diamanda Galas. Also, I don’t know my way around the wfmu webpage. Is there an archive link? I miss you much here in Berkeley but am so happy for you about your place in life. I still remember meeting you at KALX during your DJ training show debut as an 18 year old undergrad. You go, Monamie💜
	5:29pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Enjoyed the first part of the show from the volunteer room. <3 Hey, Mona, monastics…
	5:30pm misterdavid: Obsessed with “brat”
	5:30pm Mennlinn Rebarts: A great DJ premium would be recordings of wfmu dj's clamoring to get to the dump button unexpectedly.
	5:30pm Dean: Ha! Right now a presenter on the Zoom meeting has the KALX LP library as his background!
	5:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): @scully — I mean it was my first when it was new. Makes me nostalgic now for prepandemic times.
	5:30pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ William Smith @5:29 Hope Mona responds to this, sounds like a throwback ... Archive page here: www.wfmu.org...
	5:31pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:30 Ah, right on, I was very excited for you, haha.
	🥀 5:31pm Handy Haversack: The hour just got a whole lot happier. Each cocktail has fourteen black raspberries in it so that K8 and I don't get scurvy. Cheers, m'dears!
	🥀 5:31pm bluecharlie: ↳ Song: "Raingurl" by "Yaeji" I think raingurl and thunder and lightning guy got together and made the mess that I'm trying to drive through
	5:31pm DanFA: Charli XCX is probably my favorite current pop star because she seems a lot more fun, down to earth, and has a real rock star energy. And she's actually making pop music that is experimental, but still has hooks for days.
	🥀 5:32pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ DanFA @5:31 I'd have to agree with that, lol

	5:34pm Juli P: It's like the Art World is disappearing.....
	5:34pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Raingurl" by "Yaeji" Hello. Banger!! Did I hear a Three 6 Mafia shout out in there? Nice.
	5:34pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Contort Yourself" by "James White & the Blacks" James Chance looks like a downtown NYC version of Nick Cave.
	5:34pm Juli P: Beautiful humans who care for others & love ART?! Wow I am actually scared there are so few of us.
	5:35pm Juli P: Truly horrifying to think humans are bitter.
	5:36pm William Smith: Thanks, Handy Halversack!👍🏾
	🥀 5:37pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Juli P @5:35 How so? It's an emotion, no? Human beings are emotional creatures.

	🥀 5:40pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "i like the way you kiss me" by "Artemas" Hah, I was just listening to his today I think

	🥀 5:46pm The Butterman: Love this.
	5:47pm Juli P: Saved: end hedonism: end bitterness: keep bliss tho & respect: hard work all of this is fine: it's the bitter & the sadness which can exit because we need only tiny amounts to contain our beings
	5:47pm c lav: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" oh dip, lets goooooo! dance emoji
	🥀 5:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" A song title that makes me really agitated about the way Itunes made it so people capitalize every word in song titles. Personal bugbear, I know, I know.

	5:48pm Harry Corvair: Mona! Forever grateful for this station, this show! There But For The Grace Of God Go I by Machine (Machine)

	5:49pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" Man, great groove with depressing as hell lyrics, brain struggling to reconcile!
	5:49pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" And they say disco has no soul.
	5:49pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): @Handy — Ha! And yes!
	5:49pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" Who said disco was dead then, really?

	🥀 5:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:49 And it was such a good song!
	🥀 5:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @5:51 efd will hear of this!
	5:52pm DanFA: ↳ 80sZuulScully @5:49 Disco never died in the 70s, it just lived on through early hip hop, synth pop, and the electronic-oriented post-punk through to modern groups like Daft Punk and all of today's pop music.
	🥀 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mona -- unbelievable that we heard you chat with Diamanda. What a world!
	5:54pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:52 itunes is gonna hate the title track to our next album, but EFD nailed it when he put it in the accuplay last month. Final score: EFD 1 v. iTunes 0
	5:54pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Thanks, Mona!! Have a great weekend, friends.

	🥀 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Mona and greetings, Diamanda! diamandagalas.bandcamp.com
	3:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Diamanda Galás" Wow. What a powerful & distinctive Artist. Sometimes - Diamanda Galás is the only Medicine that will do...
	3:12pm common: i went to greece and learned about so much history from my friend and her family. good to hear this!
	3:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Britannia Waives the Rules
	3:14pm nadalex: Hi Diamanda! Im listening and will play for Stephanie tonight! She has tried to call and amsays please call her sometime. So wonderful to hear you talking about poets.
	3:14pm nadalex: This is Alexis in Albany
	3:15pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Mona, Diamanda Galas interview!!
	3:16pm TDK60: Hi Mona. I'm really enjoying this conversation.
	3:16pm Jeff Moore: The word "exotic" always creeps me the F out – it's a word which says way more about the speaker (and what that speaker is unfamiliar with) than about the purported subject. And that's before we get to the massive corpus of just gross white men using the word about Asian women. Eww.
	🥀 3:18pm Handy Haversack: I hope pwrmnstr is hearing this.
	3:18pm Ira: Mona and Diamanda Galás on WFMU! So cool!
	3:22pm San Pedro Girl: I really appreciate what Diamonda is saying. She is spot on.
	3:24pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" This sounds SO good.
	🥀 3:25pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" wowowow! so perfect.
	🥀 3:27pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" Sooooo good...
	3:27pm alexandra: So so so good 💜
	3:28pm c lav: caught her show at St. Thomas the Apostle church in Harlem NY in 2016, one of the most intense concerts of my life
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" Chorus ~ chords are like 'Happy Together' ...which is either meaningless or interesting irony ...anyhow - WOOSH.
	3:28pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Greetings, all. I got here as soon as I could. Appointment radio!
	3:28pm nadalex: Writer or musician... why not both? And a translator too!
	3:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "La Llorona" by "Diamanda Galás" My mother was born in East Los Angeles. My sister and I heard about La Llorona, Deuendes and the Cucuey from her. She was quite a ham, so she would embellish these these crazy Mexican folk tails for maximum effect... ...kind of like Diamanda, really.
	3:31pm mmzm: maan, just got out of zoom meeting. what did I miss?
	3:32pm mmzm: btw I am also an admirer of her piano work, the last piano album was good too.
	🥀 3:38pm Handy Haversack: Now that I think about it, it's kind of a wonder that Diamanda Galas and Tom Waits have never collaborated.
	3:38pm zumzar: Dear Diamanda, are you coming to Porto any soon? I see your 2024 tour info and it is all US. It would be great to see you and hear your soul singing once again.
	3:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Pardon Me, I've Got Someone To Kill" by "Diamanda... Best version since Andre Williams'
	3:42pm Ochre Ogre: One can be an artist/musician and publicly against social injustice.
	3:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:38 Woah!
	3:42pm pot8o: ↳ zumzar @3:38 do you have a link? i'm not seeing anything on her website
	3:45pm StringOFperils: It's good to be polite right before you commit murder.
	3:46pm c lav: the bleep hahah yasss
	3:46pm nadalex: Love the bleep! Does Mona have a button to just do thst live?
	3:48pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ c lav @3:46 I think this interview was prerecorded.
	3:49pm Ochre Ogre: Kinda like Cajun music.
	3:50pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:49 ...largely ignored.
	3:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:49 Or Cowboy Carter. They don't dig that in Nashville.
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hank Williams, Sr.'s greatest influence was an old Black Bluesman. There is so much Blues in Hank ...yet he's considered the Father of Modern Country. The old joke about 'I like both kinds of Music - Country & Western' has some basis in fact : 'Country' meant Hill Music (Bluegrass & Old UK forms), & 'Western' Cowboy songs ...which you know... Of course - what is it ? A third of actual Cowboys were Black ? For everybody hung up about Beyonce or anybody else... But anyhow - Kuntry as we now it now kinda dates only to the 1940s ? Like most of our Popular forms in way...
	3:51pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" This version gonna make the earth shake.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:51 *Know it now...
	3:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Ochre Ogre @3:49 The Starvation Waltz by Hobo Bertrand is the most flipped out Cajun record ever.
	3:53pm dei xhrist: It's wonderful to hear this exploration of Galas' work! I often try to sing along to her recordings to develop my own voice.
	3:53pm ?: this is exactly how I feel right now
	3:54pm steveo: she's so good
	3:54pm zachary: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" I'm really digging this song. Never heard of Diamanda Galás, but I will be checking out more of her work. Thanks, Mona!
	3:54pm c lav: diamanda in 90degrees woooboy
	3:55pm Claudia: Loving this interview! DC INC's New Music America Festival presented Galas at the Pension Building in 1983. It is the National Building Museum now, in the re-vamped DC. The Artists helped this happen by inhabiting the abandoned downtown. Galas was intense and shocking at the time. I am overjoyed to hear her on WFMU. Her strength is palpable. Thank you both and all the crew, too!!!
	3:55pm Dean: This is why I nicknamed by newborn daughter "my little Diamanda Galás."
	3:55pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" Impressive sustain.
	3:55pm Dean: ^"my newborn..."
	3:56pm c lav: ↳ Claudia @3:55 wowww seing her in '83 must have been insane, like no reference point at all, pure terror
	3:56pm StringOFperils: Cosmic lamentations for all that hurts and all who suffer
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There should be Movies made around her. She's like a living Special Effect. A vocal Apparition.
	3:57pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" Cathartic without a shred of new age bullshit.
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:57 - or Goth posturing, for that matter.
	🥀 3:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Vocal Fry shows featuring Diamanda Galás: www.wfmu.org... & www.wfmu.org...
	3:59pm jessica is cool: ↳ Song: "O Death (Live)" by "Diamanda Galás" rocked my world
	3:59pm zachary: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:58 Thanks, Ken. Of course Vocal Fry has Diamanda. Makes sense.
	🥀 4:01pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Mona and all!!!
	4:01pm ?: gay people can get married
	4:03pm Franco Twinkie: ...now it's getting good!
	4:04pm c lav: diamanda is peak medusa, yes!
	4:04pm Franco Twinkie: Lucy Sante to you!
	4:04pm Dean: I'd love to hear her take on Cyprus.
	4:05pm c lav: omg the pic of manuel hahah

	4:09pm StringOFperils: Thanks to MUTE for this too!
	4:09pm charles east: ↳ Mona @4:06 so glad you did
	4:09pm cheyenne: What an interview!!! 🖤🖤🖤
	4:10pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:08 Ha, right.
	4:12pm Ochre Ogre: Great interview!
	🥀 4:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Great work again this week, Mona! 🎙️
	4:22pm Magenta: Great interview, Mona!
	4:22pm Mona: thanks for saying friends! i was very intimidated, but she really put me at ease. what an amazing person!
	4:22pm common: agreed. great great great, mona!
	4:23pm Mona: ↳ @4:01 diamanda's gay husband died of AIDS long before gay marriage was legalized.
	4:23pm charles east: she is just so cool nd clever
	4:26pm Dean: But if her gay "husband" was male and she is female, then there were no legal barriers, were there? I guess it's academic at this point, but curious.
	4:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mona @4:22 Such a heavy - but so straightforward ! So impressed by you both.
	4:32pm TDK60: I definitely "star-clicked" this show for future reference. Thanks, Mona.
	4:33pm Buckaroo: WOW. I don't think I've EVER heard One Dove on the radio. This CD was 1993 for me.
	4:33pm zachary: ↳ Song: "Fallen" by "One Dove" Every time I hear sample-based music I want to go and make music on my samplers.
	4:34pm zachary: ↳ Mona @4:22 Amazing work, Mona!
	4:35pm c lav: dancing in the a/c over here
	🥀 4:37pm Handy Haversack: Just picked about a pint of Brooklyn black raspberries out back and lost a similar amount of blood to thorns and, mainly, skeeters.
	4:37pm Ochre Ogre: I see Diamanda and Marina Abramovic in the same league.
	4:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 mulberries are about ripe here in the yard. never cooked w/ them before....(just ate some off the tree)
	4:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @4:42 franco baked mulberry pie recently...maybe consult
	4:43pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Keep My Mouth Out Of Your Name" by "Early Internet" Nice! I love the shimmering shoegazery sweetness and light. :)
	4:43pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Keep My Mouth Out Of Your Name" by "Early Internet" oh boy this is nice
	🥀 4:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:43 Did you and pwrmnstr hear the interview?
	4:45pm Destroit: Hi Mona and co. Glad to be here. Glad its Friday.
	🥀 4:45pm bluecharlie: Hi! Darn! I missed the interview! I had a good reason, really I did. I hope it'll be up in the archives! Mona, you're such a great interviewer. I really enjoy listening to your conversations
	4:46pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "All My Life, My Heart Has Yearned For A Thing I C... Nice! Keep the shoegazery bliss comin'!!!!!!
	4:46pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Dean @4:26 Correct. No legal barriers. They could marry one another, but not people of their respective, preferred gender preference. That sort of union offered cover at a time when people were expected to marry. Though it was love in the way friends love each other, it must have been dissatisfying. Their outside love affairs were still not socially acceptable. Gay people were, and still are, persecuted and often killed.
	4:46pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:45 We sure did! We are both, naturally, big fans. pwrmnstr is now taking a nap before we head to Irving Plaza for Guided By Voices
	4:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dark Waves" by "Men Seni Suyemin" new to me and digdug! (as well as cold gawd)

	4:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b @4:46 what johnny said!!!🙂
	4:48pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:46 bob barth on the sheena stream interviewed the director of the new disco doc on PBS and went way into depth about gay civil rights (as well as other marginalized communities, racial or sexual preference)
	🥀 4:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:46 Excellent on all accounts! Hope she's feeling better! I'm taking off for a couple of weeks on Sunday. If you guys, can, go see Blank Account and Upper Wilds(!) at Berlin on Wednesday -- should be great! I hate to miss it.
	4:51pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:49 Found it: www.ohmyrockness.com...
	🥀 4:52pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Say My Name" by "The Belair Lip Bombs" Is the chick in this band the same from CLAMM?
	4:52pm Destroit: This Belair Lip track is outstanding
	4:52pm Dean: Thanks, San Pedro Girl. In spring 2004 I took a Law & Sexuality course in law school with two amazing professors, Angela Harris and Kathy Abrams. After the Valentine's Day weekend, when then Mayor Newsom kick-started real government action in favor of same-sex marriage, we of course discussed the development. Two out queer guys in class, one a friend I love and admire to this day, lamented the action. They wanted the government out of their private lives entirely. This entailed eliminating the institution of marriage altogether. I have to say, even though (and not because) I'm a married man, I get their point.
	4:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:46 i don't know the specifics of the relationship but generally many unions similar to galas' were based around getting a green card for one of them
	4:52pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Say My Name" by "The Belair Lip Bombs" holy cow this, too is nice
	4:53pm Dean: Heh, I know a person, now happily married for decades, who married at least twice before exactly to get a green card for the partner.
	4:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @4:52 there are many legal benefits to be married. to eliminate marriage, those issues need to be addressed
	4:54pm Destroit: And now this Attack acks trak is one upping Belair track. Mona on a roll!
	4:54pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:51 Unlikely we can make the Wednesday show, Handy, as pwrmnstr has to be up stupid early Thursday for on-site work (which she hasn't had to do for the last two years or so, this is the first time since maybe 2021) ... but who knows, maybe we can make it!
	4:54pm Dean: Yes, ngh, exactly the point of the two marvelous contrarians in class.
	4:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @4:52 that's plenty interesting
	4:56pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:52 i have a friend who has been two hetero marriages for cash for a green card.
	4:56pm Dean: Of course, one response to my classmates is that marriage is an aspect of one's public life, at which point we need to refer to our Foucault.
	4:57pm TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 I haven't seen/felt any skeeters on this island, HH. Yet. Bon Voyage!
	🥀 4:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:54 I gotcha. There's another, daytime show, 7/13 at Mama Tried with Shell Shag(!!), which might be easier for youse.
	4:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @4:56 (i once made a tee-shirt that proclaimed, "i was foucault's love slave".) , my mother threw it out when I was visiting home about 20 years ago.
	🥀 4:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @4:57 Oh, wow, you are lucky! The back yards are lousy with them here.
	4:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @4:56 u huh wasn't discounting those relationships, i think the mixed orientation relationships i knew of no money was involved and one couple didn't live with each other
	4:59pm TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:58 HH; It may be that I live on a windy hill, high above the river. Hudson Heights it's called.
	4:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:58 everyone around me gets bit by skeeters (they're out here in VT). but, i got bit exactly once the whole time i was in FL where they're omnipresent all the time.
	5:00pm northguineahills: ↳ TDK60 @4:59 skeeters steer clear of me, i never use insect repellent.
	5:00pm c lav: ↳ Song: "Life (featuring Robyn)" by "Jamie xx" This is also giving me life!!!
	5:01pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:59 mos def.... i've had friends of all orientations lose a friend/partner due us deportation bs.....
	5:02pm Dean: Foucault spent time here at Berkeley, of course, and one of my colleagues at the law school interviewed him when he was a Ph.D. student at Cal. He asked me to find the archived, digitized files...and I did.
	5:02pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:58 We will be on a flight back from Jacksonville seeing my family 😩
	🥀 5:02pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:02 One day!
	5:03pm tom tom the pipers son: i don't know how much of a demographic fran liebowitz represents in the gay community but she expresses a more or less meh attitude when it came to gay marrriage
	5:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @5:02 excellent. sounds like a task i would really enjoy....
	5:03pm Imgur: Absolute banger
	5:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:02 i'm so sorry!!! 😜 /went to hs in jax and father still lives there...
	5:03pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:02 Definitely! One of these days we'll see Blank Account, I regularly go check the upcoming dates to see if anything new's been added. Gotta duck out now, time to go see some Bob Pollard & Co. www.wfmu.org...
	5:03pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Back To One" by "Peggy Gou" Great segue into this jammer.
	🥀 5:04pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Back To One" by "Peggy Gou" Those are some big ears!
	5:04pm Acid Cazh: ↳ northguineahills @5:03 Oh I don't even want to talk about it, my family all moved there — I'd never willingly set foot in the state of Florida otherwise. OK off to GBV, bye everyone, happy Weekend!
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:04 i escaped FL, and glad for it!
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Acid Cazh @5:04 oh, and enjoy gbv!
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Sean T-Rex @5:04 earie, ain't it!
	5:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:05 you should contact john carpenter
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:06 worst sequel evar!!! (escape from FL)
	5:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:06 idk...desantis good villian...disney plotpoints gators ...a lot to work with
	5:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Dean @4:52 Having been married and divorced, I wonder why people are so eager to enter into such legal contracts...equal opportunity misery…ironic…Freedom is what I desire. I did not find it in marriage.
	5:10pm Juli P: Oh my! I missed much of this amaze special
	5:11pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:08 add this in, and we have a flick! www.dailymotion.com...
	5:12pm Juli P: Never really listened to Diamanda before but I have heard something & felt like a soul connection to their music: So excited to hear this in the archive
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:08 after divorce my ex told me she didn't think i was ready for marriage....i had no idea what she meant
	5:12pm chresti: Hi Mona and mes amis!
	5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:11 sooo funny!
	5:12pm Dean: Marriage is about partnership, which is a relinquishment of freedom, ideally with a net benefit.
	🥀 5:15pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Dean @5:12 I'm sorry if this was said but... Can't you argue that marriage is just a legal agreement? Cause you can have partnership without it
	5:15pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Misty Circles (Demo)" by "Dead or Alive" Thank you for reminding me I have to get another copy of Youthquake.
	5:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @5:12 in appropriate and complicated to get into why it ended, but we never tired of being with one another, that was the partnership
	5:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sirius Syntoms" by "Lindstrøm" daggnabbit, i step out and missed lindstrom......
	🥀 5:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Dean @5:12 I sometimes -- usually -- think of marriage a lot like the cops: an institution that is supposed to be good for society but that has its foundations so deep in oppression, violence, and even outright slavery that I don't think that it's salvageable. But I'm notoriously a downer.
	5:17pm ?: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:37 Once upon a time Marina Abramovic did have the same ferocity and commitment as Diamanda -especially the work she did with her then-partner Ulay- but she has since descended into Art Star "celebrity" self-caricature. Diamanda, however, remains as raw, feral, and unfiltered as ever.
	5:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ @5:17 hard agree
	5:18pm Juli P: ↳ Dean @5:12 Net? AS in lol? What
	5:18pm Juli P: Art should be paid for for everyone:
	5:19pm DanFA: ↳ @5:17 I quite enjoyed the piece she did where she locked people inside the gallery, lit it on fire, and locked the doors from the outside so people couldn't get out.
	5:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Sean T-Rex @5:15 mine was a convenience for the green card as we were both freelancing, but later during the pandemic it became the point...(meh, a 14 year relationship, it was a good run).
	5:20pm ?: ↳ DanFA @5:19 she has certainly lost her edge, or her conviction, or is just glad to become a commodity and be comfortable
	5:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:16 after looking at this we'd have been better off unmarried
	5:22pm DanFA: ↳ @5:20 And running up the steps of an old castle, what was with that?
	5:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ @5:20 complete 180 degree turn
	5:24pm northguineahills: ok, rain is abating for a hot second, so, I'm off for a speed walk. thanks mona and my monite friends! happy friday!
	5:24pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ northguineahills @5:24 Peace, you too!
	5:25pm northguineahills: ↳ 80sZuulScully @5:24 palabara!
	5:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @5:24 see ya...
	5:26pm Dean: I want to engage the comments about marriage, but I'm in a meeting! Damnit.
	5:26pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Dean @5:26 Hahaha
	5:28pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Ooh! This was my first Yaeji
	5:29pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:28 Hey! What do you think? Guap is also excellent.
	5:29pm William Smith: Hi Mona! I sadly missed your interview with Diamanda Galas. Also, I don’t know my way around the wfmu webpage. Is there an archive link? I miss you much here in Berkeley but am so happy for you about your place in life. I still remember meeting you at KALX during your DJ training show debut as an 18 year old undergrad. You go, Monamie💜
	5:29pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Enjoyed the first part of the show from the volunteer room. <3 Hey, Mona, monastics…
	5:30pm misterdavid: Obsessed with “brat”
	5:30pm Mennlinn Rebarts: A great DJ premium would be recordings of wfmu dj's clamoring to get to the dump button unexpectedly.
	5:30pm Dean: Ha! Right now a presenter on the Zoom meeting has the KALX LP library as his background!
	5:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): @scully — I mean it was my first when it was new. Makes me nostalgic now for prepandemic times.
	5:30pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ William Smith @5:29 Hope Mona responds to this, sounds like a throwback ... Archive page here: www.wfmu.org...
	5:31pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:30 Ah, right on, I was very excited for you, haha.
	🥀 5:31pm Handy Haversack: The hour just got a whole lot happier. Each cocktail has fourteen black raspberries in it so that K8 and I don't get scurvy. Cheers, m'dears!
	🥀 5:31pm bluecharlie: ↳ Song: "Raingurl" by "Yaeji" I think raingurl and thunder and lightning guy got together and made the mess that I'm trying to drive through
	5:31pm DanFA: Charli XCX is probably my favorite current pop star because she seems a lot more fun, down to earth, and has a real rock star energy. And she's actually making pop music that is experimental, but still has hooks for days.
	🥀 5:32pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ DanFA @5:31 I'd have to agree with that, lol
	🥀 5:33pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Contort Yourself" by "James White & the Blacks" RIP
	5:33pm Juli P: Why are there so few ppl in the world?!
	🥀 5:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ William Smith @5:29 The archive will be up about half an hour after the show ends, and you can see it listed on the homepage or on Mona's show page: www.wfmu.org...
	5:34pm Juli P: It's like the Art World is disappearing.....
	5:34pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Raingurl" by "Yaeji" Hello. Banger!! Did I hear a Three 6 Mafia shout out in there? Nice.
	5:34pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Contort Yourself" by "James White & the Blacks" James Chance looks like a downtown NYC version of Nick Cave.
	5:34pm Juli P: Beautiful humans who care for others & love ART?! Wow I am actually scared there are so few of us.
	5:35pm Juli P: Truly horrifying to think humans are bitter.
	5:36pm William Smith: Thanks, Handy Halversack!👍🏾
	🥀 5:37pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Juli P @5:35 How so? It's an emotion, no? Human beings are emotional creatures.
	🥀 5:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ William Smith @5:36 You got it!
	🥀 5:40pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "i like the way you kiss me" by "Artemas" Hah, I was just listening to his today I think
	🥀 5:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "i like the way you kiss me" by "Artemas" Wisteria Artemas is definitely going in the ol' D&D(ish) game ...
	5:41pm Mona: ↳ William Smith @5:29 aww Last Will! my forever radio mentor! thank you for listening and saying hi! <3 <3 <3
	5:42pm Juli P: ↳ Sean T-Rex @5:37 Yes but bitter?~
	5:43pm Juli P: How is bitter anything worth anything..... We must consider what we need not just feel...........
	5:43pm Juli P: It's already far too late............
	5:44pm Drewid: Such a great show, Mona. You’ve brought some joy to my drive to DC
	5:45pm katie somewhere: another killer pride month mona <333
	5:45pm Juli P: If even HALF the humans who are bitter changed: the human race may be save: a better place! Anyway: I am excited for Art This weekend I have Art Openings for Pride Month!
	5:46pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Favourite" by "Fontaines D.C." Like this tune, 90s sound with a contemporary edge, gracias
	🥀 5:46pm The Butterman: Love this.
	5:47pm Juli P: Saved: end hedonism: end bitterness: keep bliss tho & respect: hard work all of this is fine: it's the bitter & the sadness which can exit because we need only tiny amounts to contain our beings
	5:47pm c lav: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" oh dip, lets goooooo! dance emoji
	🥀 5:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" A song title that makes me really agitated about the way Itunes made it so people capitalize every word in song titles. Personal bugbear, I know, I know.
	5:48pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): So here for the Machine.
	5:48pm Harry Corvair: Mona! Forever grateful for this station, this show! There But For The Grace Of God Go I by Machine (Machine)
	5:48pm Juli P: Hard work builds humans: & souls Not sadness.
	🥀 5:48pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Juli P @5:42 I mean, I have been bitter in life. Not that I wanted to feel that way. Eventually overcame it.
	5:49pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" Man, great groove with depressing as hell lyrics, brain struggling to reconcile!
	5:49pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" And they say disco has no soul.
	5:49pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): @Handy — Ha! And yes!
	5:49pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" by "Machine" Who said disco was dead then, really?
	5:51pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:47 damn capitalists, again!
	🥀 5:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @5:49 And it was such a good song!
	🥀 5:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @5:51 efd will hear of this!
	5:52pm DanFA: ↳ 80sZuulScully @5:49 Disco never died in the 70s, it just lived on through early hip hop, synth pop, and the electronic-oriented post-punk through to modern groups like Daft Punk and all of today's pop music.
	🥀 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mona -- unbelievable that we heard you chat with Diamanda. What a world!
	5:54pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:52 itunes is gonna hate the title track to our next album, but EFD nailed it when he put it in the accuplay last month. Final score: EFD 1 v. iTunes 0
	5:54pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Thanks, Mona!! Have a great weekend, friends.
	5:54pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ DanFA @5:52 I am glad you chimed in. Astute insight and I never thought of it that way before. Can't say I disagree.
	🥀 5:55pm Sean T-Rex: Thanks Mona!
	5:55pm radioronan: Thanks Mona & thanks bringing us the amazing Diamanda interview..for some reason I never thought I would hear her do a radio interview..bravo!! Cheers y'all!
