	3:03pm KP: Happy Friday, Meghan!
	♥ 3:04pm Meghan: ha..... I haven't done a theme in a while now!
	3:05pm Cliff: Meghan go Boom Boom
	♥ 3:06pm Meghan: That could be dangerous.....
	3:06pm P-90: ...I just saw "Boom chica Boom Boom" at the top and thought you might be taking a cue from Sheila B...
	♥ 3:06pm Guido from Cologne: Hallo Meghan! Alles klar bei Dir? Schön Dich wieder zu hören!
	3:06pm Cliff: Haha ;)
	♥ 3:08pm Meghan: Guten Nacht! It's a late one for you Guido.... Friday night drinking, eh? have one for me!
	♥ 3:09pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Meghan!
	♥ 3:09pm northguineahills: I said a boom chica rocka chica rocka chica boom! Oh Yeah, one more time!
	3:10pm Cliff: I like this Sunflower Bean song, kinda sounds like Lush
	♥ 3:10pm Meghan: Oh Yeah! Uh Huh! Take it away.....
	♥ 3:10pm northguineahills: yeah, like from their early EPs
	♥ 3:11pm Meghan: First set is very shoegaze-y
	♥ 3:11pm Guido from Cologne: Auf Dein Wohl Meghan! Prost!
	3:12pm Cliff: I read a Lush interview once where they said they had a terrible time getting producers to listen to them cuz they were lumped in with all of the other shoegaze bands, and it wasn't until their last album that they actually got the sound they wanted.
	♥ 3:12pm Meghan: Prost!!
	3:12pm Cecile: got swervedriver?
	♥ 3:13pm Ike: Woooooooooooo! Spectrangulous!
	♥ 3:14pm northguineahills: and Lush's last album was very meh, w/ a few good tracks thrown in there.
	3:15pm paula pc: I can't stop looking at my shoes, and it's awesome. THANK YOU, Meghan!
	3:15pm Cliff: Also, Lush is going on tour this year!
	3:16pm Cecile: hey, I didn't know Swervedriver put out an album last year. I liked the couple before they stopped recording.
	3:16pm Cliff: I have no shoes on, I'll just have to stare at my bare feet then
	♥ 3:16pm Meghan: I agree.... I personally loved their early work vs that last album. It was such a drastic switch... took me a long time to warm up to it at all. Got my tickets to see them though!!
	♥ 3:16pm Ike: (That's not a request, that's just me making up words. Unless there IS a band called Spectrangulous. Somebody start one!)
	♥ 3:17pm Meghan: hehehe..... I must have been in this kind of mood this past week and week before.... weather influenced?
	3:19pm Cliff: It would be amazing if there was a shoegaze band named Spectrangulous, sadly nothing shoes up on the Google
	3:20pm Cliff: Bwahahahaa, *shows!
	♥ 3:21pm Meghan: Perfect slip!
	3:21pm Cliff: I can't get tickets yet because I don't know what country I will be in this summer or fall :/
	3:22pm Sean: I should have known this was you, Meghan. You are KILLING it today. THANKS!
	3:23pm Alejandroool: I caught a Swervedriver show a few months ago for that tour, it was pretty good!
	♥ 3:23pm Meghan: hahaha.... thanks! Shoegaze or African.... it could easily be me!
	3:24pm Cecile: Cool, alejandroool! They've been around a long dang time. Good to hear they're still bringing it.
	3:24pm Alejandroool: Enjoying the show Meghan, first time hearing it...
	3:24pm Brendan: Killing Joke is another band that dabbled in the genre
	3:26pm Wild Neil: Cool show Meghan! Its snowing like crazy in Amherst NY and gotta go home early ....
	3:26pm Cliff: Well I'm just gonna go ahead and favorite this episode already
	♥ 3:26pm Meghan: This goes well with snow...
	3:27pm Alejandroool: fer sure Cecile.. if you get to see them somewhere with a decent P.A./system all the better... lots of dense sounds of course.
	3:27pm Cliff: Even though there's still two and a half hours to go
	3:28pm Wild Neil: Lake effect from Lake Erie is POUNDING the northtowns now...Lockport, Amherst, et al...
	3:28pm Cliff: So Meghan, make sure you GO Boom Boom, not MAKE Boom Boom ;)
	♥ 3:29pm Meghan: Oh it's going to go all over the place.... as expected from one of my shows!
	3:30pm Cliff: I know, just teasin' ya :D
	3:31pm Alejandroool: We're getting quite a chilly this weekend in Toronto.. it's been very very mild so even this slightly colder lake wind weather is a shock =/
	3:31pm Cliff: Wild Neil, we're scheduled to get that storm come through tonight and tomorrow
	♥ 3:31pm Uncle Michael: Good afternoon, all and sundry.
	3:32pm Cliff: Good thing I stocked up on groceries this afternoon. MBV!!!! YESSS!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 3:32pm Meghan: Howdy Uncle Michael!
	3:32pm Cliff: Meghan, whadya think of their latest album? I loved it, I'm so glad it didn't end up being Loveless 2.0
	♥ 3:33pm Michael in Seattle: MBV!!! One of the LOUDEST live shows i've ever seen. You could hear them half a block from the theater.
	♥ 3:33pm JtotheK: also enjoyed the latest MBV album.
	♥ 3:34pm Meghan: I saw them tour after they put it out. I think it stands up to the others.... Same feeling and energy. Not some oddity that sticks out
	♥ 3:35pm Uncle Michael: I think it's cookie baking time.
	♥ 3:35pm Summer and Michael: Meghan, you're KILLING it! What a great set! Happy V'day!
	♥ 3:36pm JtotheK: @UM - peanut butter cookies...or ???
	♥ 3:37pm Uncle Michael: oatmeal raisin molasses
	3:40pm still b/p: The show has already helped me go and learn something: "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" was by Daddy Dewdrop.
	♥ 3:40pm Ike: What would be wrong with a whole shoegaze show? Nothing, I say! Okay, okay, it's FMU, three hours of any one style is a lot. Never stopped the Good Doctor though....
	♥ 3:40pm Uncle Michael: There's also a Staple Singers "Chica Boom."
	3:42pm Cliff: Ike, listen to Faye's show Sunday nights, she can get pretty shoegazey at times
	3:42pm Brendan: Sit back relax , cup of hot cocoa you nailed it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hkTSSMfdwk4
	♥ 3:42pm Meghan: now I want PB cookies..... sigh....
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Time to hear what Meghan's been into!
	3:44pm still b/p: 3 words about many home-style and genuine home-made cookies: too...much...sugar. And I gots a creditable sweet tooth...but man, back it off, back it off.
	♥ 3:47pm JtotheK: @meghan I'll second your sigh for I have no PB cookies at the ready. enjoy the oatmeal raisin molasses, UM!
	3:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Spectrangulous is not the worst name for a band.
	3:52pm Cliff: It's an excellent name, right now when you google it you get a single hit with some kind of game stats in Dutch
	3:53pm Baumer!: Very nice tunes for this rainy day in Seattle thank you!
	♥ 3:54pm Meghan: Isn't everyday a rainy day in Seattle? hehe
	3:54pm Cliff: And now for the African music :)
	♥ 3:55pm Meghan: only 2 today..... both from Zimbabwe....
	3:56pm Baumer!: Only the days between September 1 and July 5 haha
	♥ 3:56pm Ike: @Cliff@3:42, good choice but I can outdo you on the FMU show recommendation front -- check out archives of Blurred & Obscured with J. Herweg, that's the haziest and... uh... glaziest.
	3:57pm Cliff: Ack, and I temporarily turned off the stream for the 1st one to check on something. Oh well :)
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...seriously! : It's brutally frustrating to come up w/ a band name w/out major websearch hits already...
	3:58pm Cliff: Will do, Ike! I love me some shoegaze
	3:58pm JakeGould: You kids don’t know about shoegaze. Feh.
	3:58pm Dave B: HEY! Almost forgot about this
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...to try to I mean...)
	3:59pm Cliff: "glaziest"? Whuzzat?
	3:59pm paula pc: all gorgeous!!!
	4:00pm Cliff: JakeGould, why don't you edumacate us on the subject then
	♥ 4:00pm Meghan: HEY Dave B!
	4:01pm JakeGould: Since this is a “Sophisticated Boom Boom” fill in, let’s make sure to honor the spirit of Sheila B. by playing the song that inspired the show’s name, Paul Lekakis’s “Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)”
	4:01pm Cliff: "Feh", dem's fightin' words
	♥ 4:02pm Meghan: hahahaha.....
	4:02pm Dave B: My trip to Iran has been put on hold at the advice of relatives there. Trying to figure out somewhere else to go...
	4:02pm JakeGould: @Cliff: It’s pretty much just “My Bloody Valentine” and a few others in the 1980s/1990s. So that’s it. chirps chirps chirps wolf howls chirps chirps chirps
	♥ 4:03pm Meghan: yeah, I'd say it's not really a GOOD time to head that direction....
	4:04pm Zok: North Korea?
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth: hello Meghan hello all
	4:05pm Dave B: I don't know anyone there Zok.
	4:05pm JakeGould: I think the best time to go and visit Iran, Iraq and the related “-stans” is during the pre-Ottoman era.
	4:06pm Cliff: Well as I mentioned above, Lush were annoyed that they got lumped in with shoegaze bands and didn't get the sound they wanted on their records until the very last one. So I do know a little about the subject
	♥ 4:06pm Meghan: Hallo Coelacanth!
	4:06pm Cliff: LOL, I recognize this song......the only place I could've possibly heard it before is on this station
	4:06pm Dave B: For me - next year will mark 40 years since I visited last. On a different note, for all your Valentine Day Prank Calls - here's a Charles Bradley soundboard: daptonerecords.com...
	♥ 4:07pm chris: Hi, Meghan! all yous! JakeG, sounds like a Hearty White field trip to me!
	♥ 4:09pm Meghan: hey there Chris
	4:09pm JakeGould: @Cliff: “Lush” and “Ride” complained about the shoegazey sound of their first releases, released other stuff nobody cared about and then—at least in the case of “Ride”—decided to embrace their shoegazey sound again during reunion tours.
	4:09pm kevlicki: @daveB things are quit expectancy kat down in Belize at the moment. Guess it depends on where you're going away from
	4:10pm Cliff: So let's see, by JakeGould's standards it'd be MBV, Slowdive, Ride....and that's it? Anybody else you want to include?
	4:10pm Cliff: Oh, not even Ride, I see, heh
	4:10pm JakeGould: @Cliff: sips tea
	4:11pm Lyle: Funny that you mention shoegaze. As some of you know, I was with the Kenton band for a time in the 50's. Now, Stan Kenton was known for being quite animated onstage. Too animated, some said, and some blamed Krupa for this, though Kenton was no hop-head. Oddly, circa '57, Kenton internalized, withdrew and became very stoic on the bandstand. No more choreographed leaps or sudden lunges towards the front row. (Oh, the crowds loved those!) - Instead, he either stared straight ahead or (you guessed it!) he stared at his shoes. I think it was the Davenport Advocate-Leader that first stated "Shoe-gazer Kenton Disappoints Crowd with Low-Key Performance." Was he the first? I'm not sure. But he certainly was a trendsetter, there's no doubt about that. We had a lot of fun back then.
	4:11pm Dave B: Yeah Kevlicki... maybe that or Costa Rica....
	♥ 4:12pm coelacanth: Dave B that's genius! ...now i have something to do on VD.
	4:12pm Cliff: Oh thank you so much for that Lyle
	4:12pm JakeGould: Jonathan Schwartz makes shoegazers depressed.
	4:12pm Cliff: I believe every word you say Lyle. I always will.
	♥ 4:14pm JtotheK: speaking of stan kenton, about 10 years ago i passed up his drummer's LP -- THE BARON VON OHLEN QUARTET: THE BARON - when it as at area record store, thinking i'll find it again some other time. i have not. another sigh
	♥ 4:16pm chris: i always tell people i was born in the year of the cock... people who know me nod their heads in understanding
	4:16pm Brendan: Uh ok
	4:18pm Brendan: Not that we were thinking that, but um yeah ok
	4:18pm Cliff: JakeGould, so just MBV and Slowdive, that's it? I thought you said there were a few others you'd include (And I was born in '78 and the only alternative music I got to listen to when I was in high school was on a Saturday night program on our local college radio, so have some patience with me ok?)
	4:19pm Brendan: Nothing wrong with raising poultry
	4:20pm Cliff: We didn't even have MTV, except for a brief period from 1991-1994ish.
	4:21pm Dave B: For that Owen and Leon song - just pronounce it with an exaggerated Boston accent - CAULK
	♥ 4:22pm Meghan: hahaha.... I COULD do that!
	4:22pm paula pc: CLASSIC
	4:22pm Lyle: The Baron Von Ohlen! Dear, Lord. His real name was Barry Olson. There's no doubt about it. Barry was a darn fine drummer, though, like Krupa he liked the wacky-tobacky. He was the first to use aluminum sticks. His first pair were actually made of iron, and after playing those for a year or two, he built-up these huge Popeye forearms! We laughed about that. The Baron is a fine record. I actually play on it. (you guessed ... 4th bone). That's me on side two doing a lot of what bone players call "blatting." That low-end, flatulent sound. It was a whole new thing back then. It would be years before Phil Bodner or James Pankow would get into blatting the way I did. Not to blow my own horn! Those were great sessions. Last I heard, Barry was the Assistant Manager of a Hinky Dinky in Crete, Nebraska.
	4:23pm Cliff: There is a Hinky Dinky in Crete, NE. His story checks out.
	4:25pm Cliff: No wait, it's in Auburn. There's a Kens Pharmacy in Crete. (Why am I googling these things?!)
	♥ 4:28pm coelacanth: when does Lyle get his own 1-hour storytime show on wfmu? -have someone else produce it, with musical interludes and such...
	♥ 4:28pm JtotheK: @lyle - i regret passing on 'the baron' lp, i don't remember much of it - i believe the store owner spun a few tracks, but can't say for certain which...
	♥ 4:29pm chris: lovin' these tracks, Meghan! was thinking same, coelacanth, maybe work with the ole' Codger for some on-air tips?
	4:29pm Cliff: coelcanth, you must email Ken about this right away. I will back you up 100%
	♥ 4:29pm Glenn L: I Love Mr. Airplane Man!
	♥ 4:30pm Meghan: They are soooo good
	4:31pm Cecile: this cut sounds like Morphine a little.
	4:31pm DAVEREEEVES: THIS SHOW RULES
	4:31pm Cliff: Hey JakeGould, only TWO bands do not a musical genre make. You're nuts.
	♥ 4:32pm Meghan: blushes thanks Davereeeves
	4:33pm Cecile: Cliff, JakeGould is egging you on.
	4:34pm geezerette: @ceolacanth @cliff A Lyle show would be fantastic!
	4:35pm Dave B: What's the maximum number of Dave's you've had on the chat boards Meghan? The other day Mayuko had 4 or 5. I have a vague recollection of you having a bunch more once or twice
	4:35pm Cliff: Cecile, I know, but he said "feh" to me
	4:35pm Cliff: Feh.
	♥ 4:36pm Meghan: oh man... I don't know... but I know it was almost a bunch of Dave's..... where we had to give them all different last name letters.... maybe 6?
	4:36pm Cecile: shrugs shoulders Ima not in a position to pick your battles for you ,Cliff. Have at it.
	4:37pm Cliff: Well, I'm a little calmer this afternoon then yesterday morning during Chris M.'s show.
	4:37pm Dave L.B.: ...oh dad - we're all Dave-o...
	4:38pm Cecile: that was a stressful morning.
	4:38pm Cliff: And nobody's threatened to punch me in the throat yet, so that's good.
	4:39pm Cliff: Yeah, I don't know what was going on, I was just kidding around but it seemed pretty aggro with the others, huh?
	♥ 4:40pm listener james from westwood: I met the amazing Ted Leonard for the first time yesterday and he was the bestest. So tough to leave at the end of the day and say goodbye to him.
	♥ 4:40pm coelacanth: i went back to that show, and comment board too. getting there late i was oblivious to the reasons why there seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over it.
	4:40pm Cliff: To be fair, that one guy who wanted to drive 4 hours here to punch me in the throat was apparently going through benzo withdrawls, so I can understand that.
	4:41pm Cliff: coelcanth, I guess Chris M. was in a bad mood that day? Although the theme of his show is that he makes stuff up, so I wasn't sure.
	4:42pm Cliff: But the end was good, everybody settled down and I got a lot of good advice from the other posters about buying a turntable.
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth: well, you did confess to being gullible!
	♥ 4:43pm coelacanth: (referring to that "threat"!)
	4:44pm Cliff: I am gullible, but I can BS as well as anyone else. I don't own any firearms, for example.
	4:44pm Cliff: Yeah, I knew benzo dude was just kidding around, but some of the others I wasn't so sure about!
	4:46pm Cliff: Also, as you probably saw, I went back later and read the entire thing while listening to Doug Sahm's "It's Gonna Be Easy" on repeat. It was great.
	4:48pm Linda Lee: really lovely music today Meghan! thank you!
	♥ 4:49pm Meghan: thanks Linda!
	4:50pm Lyle: Bennies? Oh. yes. I remember those. We took them by the fistful in the Frank Chacksfield band. You had to! The music was so dull. This was at the dawn of the easy listening music era, and artists like Montovani, Peter Nero, Frank Purcell and their ilk were cleaning up. Frank desperately wanted in on the action. In the course of one rehearsal, all of the horns were muted, the drums were eliminated altogether, and Frank instructed us all to switch from our usual cardinal red tuxedos to new beige jumpsuits, which we hated (they itched!) I lasted about two months with Chacksfield. It was fun though, in its way.
	4:51pm Cliff: Oh Lyle, please never stop posting here, my God
	♥ 4:52pm coelacanth: yeh Cliff it wasn't overtly hostile when i got there but there was a certain tension. ...then dr."certified audiophile" (HAHAHAHAHA!!!) came along to piss me off with his delusions about being more qualified than 1/2 the rest of us!
	4:53pm Cliff: Never heard of Frank Chacksfield, but he has a wiki page where he's described as a "composer and conductor of popular light orchestral easy listening music". Story checks out again.
	4:55pm Cliff: Oh yes, audiophile guy was recommending me some brand that starts out at $500 for a low end TT, I'd already said my budget was around $200. Just about to click buy on an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB for $219.
	4:55pm Dave L.B.: Benzedrine & itchy jumpsuits.
	4:56pm Cliff: Wait, bennies are amphetamines, not benzos? Yeah, that would make a lot more sense if you're playing easy-listening music.
	4:57pm CeeDubbles: I would bring you cookies but the dough is frozen in the freezer and I have to pick Deb up at EWR at 5:45 pm.
	4:57pm still b/p: Encountered my old low-end turntable the other day, a Glenburn 2155A purchased in 1974 or 75, in the attic while looking for something else -- with the same thought as always, "When I gonna pull this down and see if it works?"
	♥ 4:57pm Meghan: awwwww, the thought that counts!
	4:58pm Cliff: Hey Meghan, apologies if you're bothered by us commandeering your board to talk about another show, and casual drug use and such
	4:59pm Dave B: I need to find someone to repair one of my Sony PS-F5s www.ps-f5.com
	5:00pm Cliff: And threats of violence, real or imaginary
	♥ 5:00pm Meghan: hahaha..... I try to not let what happens on another show bother me.... or even my own! I have had my fair share of jerks and perverts.... they come and go. As long as they go (or get banned!)
	♥ 5:02pm Tome: good stuff . Meghan and a nice surprise on this Friday Afternoon too !
	5:03pm Cliff: It was a weird mood yesterday on Chris M's show....I'm usually not as offensive myself as I was there, I dunno what was going on but everybody was egging each other on.
	♥ 5:03pm coelacanth: still b/p do it now! the rubber parts are drying out and will eventually harden, then break. it needs to be used.
	♥ 5:03pm Uncle Michael: cookies are done
	5:03pm Cliff: And yeah, it's good to hear you on the air again Meghan!
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth: what he said^.
	5:05pm glenn: jerks and perverts for the win.
	♥ 5:05pm Meghan: Thanks Tome and all! Hey there glenn!
	5:06pm Cliff: glenn, I liked your one-liner yesterday morning, it made me laugh out loud.
	♥ 5:09pm Guido from Cologne: Enjoying every bit of the show! :-)
	5:10pm Cliff: Lyle, got any stories about the recording of Doug Sahm's "It's Gonna Be Easy"? Apparently Chris M had found a rare version where they were all on acid and played the song 12 times in a row without realizing it.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - you has w/ you the 'oreos in ice cream' dawgie?
	5:11pm Cecile: oh! Gui Boratto. Love him.
	♥ 5:12pm Meghan: I do have my Oreo McFlurry pup next to me!
	5:13pm Mark R.: OK, so I've been enjoying your show (as I enjoy all your fill-ins), but I haven't had a chance to comment until now. First of all, that cover of "Sunshine of Your Love" was the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life! That bass sound was amazing. Point two: I'm pretty sure I used to work with the drummer of the Gories. I think. And finally, Protomartyr is from my old stomping grounds, Ann Arbor, and I'm so happy they're getting so much FMU love. I thought "The Agent Intellect" was one of the best albums of the year, IMHO. And that is all my commenting and I shall now return to delighted listening. Say hello to your most wonderful and excellent and friendly dog for me!
	5:14pm glenn: which one liner was that?
	♥ 5:14pm Mark the Sardine: Love this Gui Boratto track
	5:14pm still b/p: You're right, coelacanth. Be very disappointing to behold it relatively unbattered and then discover elder-rubber failure.
	♥ 5:15pm Meghan: ha! Thanks Mark! That is a mouth full!
	5:15pm Cliff: It was something like, "What in the living fuck is wrong with all of you?"
	5:16pm Cliff: Which just about summed up what was going on the first half of that show
	5:18pm Lyle: Cliff, I hope I have not given you or anyone the impression that I approve of recreational drug ingestion. This being said, as far as LDS is concerned, I do recall the time when the talented Toni Scotti sang "1-2-3" for a group of Marines in Iwakuni on a little package tour we were on. Tony always took pride in his handsome appearance, however, under the influence of the LDS, he forgot one very important thing ... his pants! Imagine the look on those Marines faces when Toni ran onstage fully unaware that he was only half-clad, singing ... "one, two, three, that's how elementary ... it's gonna be." The whole place erupted into one collective guffaw! Even Tony laughed when he realized what he'd done, and like a trooper, he finished the show, despite the cold breeze blowing in off the Seto Inland Sea.
	5:19pm Cliff: You mean he was a Mormon, Lyle?
	5:19pm geezerette: @ Lyle And the Mormons were responsible?
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marines - 1st in, last out.
	5:21pm glenn: speaking of drug ingestion, mets fans, one of your pitchers has just become the first player to receive a lifetime m.l.b. ban for steroids.
	5:21pm Cliff: And I neither condone nor condemn recreational drug use, or the joining of religious groups with "interesting" beliefs. Having done/still doing plenty of both it would be hypocritical of me to do so.
	5:22pm Cliff: Never heard of Tony Scotti either, but he is quite a handsome and well-dressed man on google image search (IMO). Story checks out again.
	5:24pm Cliff: RevRabbit, HAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!! My dad (R.I.P.) was a sergeant in the USMC, he would've loved your zinger. And probably would've elaborated upon it at length.
	♥ 5:26pm Michael in Seattle: ( I have to comment that this has to be one of THE best stations in the known world -- and a much more entertaining forum than i usually stumble into on the InterWeb. )
	5:27pm glenn: we're here for ya, seattle.
	♥ 5:27pm Meghan: I think we can ALL agree on that!
	♥ 5:28pm Michael in Seattle: thankyou
	5:29pm Cliff: Good ol' Dad, he sure was an expert at precisely explaining how he wanted things done, just like my stepdad Pat (also R.I.P.) He also showed me how to properly screw apart any piece of machinery and put it back together without breaking it or losing any screws in the process. He was a helicopter mechanic in the Marine Corps, they trained him well.
	5:32pm Cliff: Served in Vietnam '66-'69, and wasn't treated well at all when he got back, had people spit at him and scream "BABYKILLER!!!" right in his face, he was always bitter about that but I don't blame him for it.
	5:36pm Cliff: Forgot to mention, his showing me how to properly take stuff apart and put it back together when I was a kid was what led to my current hobby of building custom computers.
	5:37pm Lyle: Please thank him for his service, Cliff. Someday I'll tell you about the time I was with Charro's band and we did a swing through Laos in the '80's. Played Euphonium on that tour! Time for a nap. Bless you kids.
	5:38pm Cliff: I'll have to hold a seance to do that, Lyle. He died of cancer back in 1998, just after I turned 20 years old.
	5:38pm Cliff: Still think of him almost every day since then.
	5:39pm Lyle: Well, I am sorry to hear that, but I am sure he lives on in your memories. You take care now.
	5:39pm Cliff: Take care Lyle, and I hope you didn't hit any landmines traveling through Laos in the 80's there!
	5:41pm Cliff: Ugh, that's not really something I should be joking about.
	♥ 5:41pm northguineahills: Off to do laundry, would listen w/ my phone, but my battery has been wonky, especially w/ the cold lately. Thanks Meghan, good to hear you again!
	5:43pm Cliff: But yeah, thanks Lyle. By the way, I have an uncle named Lyle, he even spells it the same way you do.
	5:44pm Cliff: Derp, what am I thinking, no he doesn't, he spells it Lyall. Gotta cut down on the recreational benzos some!

	♥ 3:06pm Meghan: That could be dangerous.....
	3:06pm P-90: ...I just saw "Boom chica Boom Boom" at the top and thought you might be taking a cue from Sheila B...
	♥ 3:06pm Guido from Cologne: Hallo Meghan! Alles klar bei Dir? Schön Dich wieder zu hören!
	3:06pm Cliff: Haha ;)
	♥ 3:08pm Meghan: Guten Nacht! It's a late one for you Guido.... Friday night drinking, eh? have one for me!
	♥ 3:09pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Meghan!
	♥ 3:09pm northguineahills: I said a boom chica rocka chica rocka chica boom! Oh Yeah, one more time!
	3:10pm Cliff: I like this Sunflower Bean song, kinda sounds like Lush
	♥ 3:10pm Meghan: Oh Yeah! Uh Huh! Take it away.....
	♥ 3:10pm northguineahills: yeah, like from their early EPs
	♥ 3:11pm Meghan: First set is very shoegaze-y
	♥ 3:11pm Guido from Cologne: Auf Dein Wohl Meghan! Prost!
	3:12pm Cliff: I read a Lush interview once where they said they had a terrible time getting producers to listen to them cuz they were lumped in with all of the other shoegaze bands, and it wasn't until their last album that they actually got the sound they wanted.
	♥ 3:12pm Meghan: Prost!!
	3:12pm Cecile: got swervedriver?
	♥ 3:13pm Ike: Woooooooooooo! Spectrangulous!
	♥ 3:14pm northguineahills: and Lush's last album was very meh, w/ a few good tracks thrown in there.
	3:15pm paula pc: I can't stop looking at my shoes, and it's awesome. THANK YOU, Meghan!
	3:15pm Cliff: Also, Lush is going on tour this year!
	3:16pm Cecile: hey, I didn't know Swervedriver put out an album last year. I liked the couple before they stopped recording.
	3:16pm Cliff: I have no shoes on, I'll just have to stare at my bare feet then
	♥ 3:16pm Meghan: I agree.... I personally loved their early work vs that last album. It was such a drastic switch... took me a long time to warm up to it at all. Got my tickets to see them though!!
	♥ 3:16pm Ike: (That's not a request, that's just me making up words. Unless there IS a band called Spectrangulous. Somebody start one!)
	♥ 3:17pm Meghan: hehehe..... I must have been in this kind of mood this past week and week before.... weather influenced?
	3:19pm Cliff: It would be amazing if there was a shoegaze band named Spectrangulous, sadly nothing shoes up on the Google
	3:20pm Cliff: Bwahahahaa, *shows!
	♥ 3:21pm Meghan: Perfect slip!
	3:21pm Cliff: I can't get tickets yet because I don't know what country I will be in this summer or fall :/
	3:22pm Sean: I should have known this was you, Meghan. You are KILLING it today. THANKS!
	3:23pm Alejandroool: I caught a Swervedriver show a few months ago for that tour, it was pretty good!
	♥ 3:23pm Meghan: hahaha.... thanks! Shoegaze or African.... it could easily be me!
	3:24pm Cecile: Cool, alejandroool! They've been around a long dang time. Good to hear they're still bringing it.
	3:24pm Alejandroool: Enjoying the show Meghan, first time hearing it...
	3:24pm Brendan: Killing Joke is another band that dabbled in the genre
	3:26pm Wild Neil: Cool show Meghan! Its snowing like crazy in Amherst NY and gotta go home early ....
	3:26pm Cliff: Well I'm just gonna go ahead and favorite this episode already
	♥ 3:26pm Meghan: This goes well with snow...
	3:27pm Alejandroool: fer sure Cecile.. if you get to see them somewhere with a decent P.A./system all the better... lots of dense sounds of course.
	3:27pm Cliff: Even though there's still two and a half hours to go
	3:28pm Wild Neil: Lake effect from Lake Erie is POUNDING the northtowns now...Lockport, Amherst, et al...
	3:28pm Cliff: So Meghan, make sure you GO Boom Boom, not MAKE Boom Boom ;)
	♥ 3:29pm Meghan: Oh it's going to go all over the place.... as expected from one of my shows!
	3:30pm Cliff: I know, just teasin' ya :D
	3:31pm Alejandroool: We're getting quite a chilly this weekend in Toronto.. it's been very very mild so even this slightly colder lake wind weather is a shock =/
	3:31pm Cliff: Wild Neil, we're scheduled to get that storm come through tonight and tomorrow
	♥ 3:31pm Uncle Michael: Good afternoon, all and sundry.
	3:32pm Cliff: Good thing I stocked up on groceries this afternoon. MBV!!!! YESSS!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 3:32pm Meghan: Howdy Uncle Michael!
	3:32pm Cliff: Meghan, whadya think of their latest album? I loved it, I'm so glad it didn't end up being Loveless 2.0
	♥ 3:33pm Michael in Seattle: MBV!!! One of the LOUDEST live shows i've ever seen. You could hear them half a block from the theater.
	♥ 3:33pm JtotheK: also enjoyed the latest MBV album.
	♥ 3:34pm Meghan: I saw them tour after they put it out. I think it stands up to the others.... Same feeling and energy. Not some oddity that sticks out
	♥ 3:35pm Uncle Michael: I think it's cookie baking time.
	♥ 3:35pm Summer and Michael: Meghan, you're KILLING it! What a great set! Happy V'day!
	♥ 3:36pm JtotheK: @UM - peanut butter cookies...or ???
	♥ 3:37pm Uncle Michael: oatmeal raisin molasses
	3:40pm still b/p: The show has already helped me go and learn something: "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" was by Daddy Dewdrop.
	♥ 3:40pm Ike: What would be wrong with a whole shoegaze show? Nothing, I say! Okay, okay, it's FMU, three hours of any one style is a lot. Never stopped the Good Doctor though....
	♥ 3:40pm Uncle Michael: There's also a Staple Singers "Chica Boom."
	3:42pm Cliff: Ike, listen to Faye's show Sunday nights, she can get pretty shoegazey at times
	3:42pm Brendan: Sit back relax , cup of hot cocoa you nailed it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hkTSSMfdwk4
	♥ 3:42pm Meghan: now I want PB cookies..... sigh....
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Time to hear what Meghan's been into!
	3:44pm still b/p: 3 words about many home-style and genuine home-made cookies: too...much...sugar. And I gots a creditable sweet tooth...but man, back it off, back it off.
	♥ 3:47pm JtotheK: @meghan I'll second your sigh for I have no PB cookies at the ready. enjoy the oatmeal raisin molasses, UM!
	3:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Spectrangulous is not the worst name for a band.
	3:52pm Cliff: It's an excellent name, right now when you google it you get a single hit with some kind of game stats in Dutch
	3:53pm Baumer!: Very nice tunes for this rainy day in Seattle thank you!
	♥ 3:54pm Meghan: Isn't everyday a rainy day in Seattle? hehe
	3:54pm Cliff: And now for the African music :)
	♥ 3:55pm Meghan: only 2 today..... both from Zimbabwe....
	3:56pm Baumer!: Only the days between September 1 and July 5 haha
	♥ 3:56pm Ike: @Cliff@3:42, good choice but I can outdo you on the FMU show recommendation front -- check out archives of Blurred & Obscured with J. Herweg, that's the haziest and... uh... glaziest.
	3:57pm Cliff: Ack, and I temporarily turned off the stream for the 1st one to check on something. Oh well :)
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...seriously! : It's brutally frustrating to come up w/ a band name w/out major websearch hits already...
	3:58pm Cliff: Will do, Ike! I love me some shoegaze
	3:58pm JakeGould: You kids don’t know about shoegaze. Feh.
	3:58pm Dave B: HEY! Almost forgot about this
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...to try to I mean...)
	3:59pm Cliff: "glaziest"? Whuzzat?
	3:59pm paula pc: all gorgeous!!!
	4:00pm Cliff: JakeGould, why don't you edumacate us on the subject then
	♥ 4:00pm Meghan: HEY Dave B!
	4:01pm JakeGould: Since this is a “Sophisticated Boom Boom” fill in, let’s make sure to honor the spirit of Sheila B. by playing the song that inspired the show’s name, Paul Lekakis’s “Boom Boom (Let's Go Back to My Room)”
	4:01pm Cliff: "Feh", dem's fightin' words
	♥ 4:02pm Meghan: hahahaha.....
	4:02pm Dave B: My trip to Iran has been put on hold at the advice of relatives there. Trying to figure out somewhere else to go...
	4:02pm JakeGould: @Cliff: It’s pretty much just “My Bloody Valentine” and a few others in the 1980s/1990s. So that’s it. chirps chirps chirps wolf howls chirps chirps chirps
	♥ 4:03pm Meghan: yeah, I'd say it's not really a GOOD time to head that direction....
	4:04pm Zok: North Korea?
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth: hello Meghan hello all
	4:05pm Dave B: I don't know anyone there Zok.
	4:05pm JakeGould: I think the best time to go and visit Iran, Iraq and the related “-stans” is during the pre-Ottoman era.
	4:06pm Cliff: Well as I mentioned above, Lush were annoyed that they got lumped in with shoegaze bands and didn't get the sound they wanted on their records until the very last one. So I do know a little about the subject
	♥ 4:06pm Meghan: Hallo Coelacanth!
	4:06pm Cliff: LOL, I recognize this song......the only place I could've possibly heard it before is on this station
	4:06pm Dave B: For me - next year will mark 40 years since I visited last. On a different note, for all your Valentine Day Prank Calls - here's a Charles Bradley soundboard: daptonerecords.com...
	♥ 4:07pm chris: Hi, Meghan! all yous! JakeG, sounds like a Hearty White field trip to me!
	♥ 4:09pm Meghan: hey there Chris
	4:09pm JakeGould: @Cliff: “Lush” and “Ride” complained about the shoegazey sound of their first releases, released other stuff nobody cared about and then—at least in the case of “Ride”—decided to embrace their shoegazey sound again during reunion tours.
	4:09pm kevlicki: @daveB things are quit expectancy kat down in Belize at the moment. Guess it depends on where you're going away from
	4:10pm Cliff: So let's see, by JakeGould's standards it'd be MBV, Slowdive, Ride....and that's it? Anybody else you want to include?
	4:10pm Cliff: Oh, not even Ride, I see, heh
	4:10pm JakeGould: @Cliff: sips tea
	4:11pm Lyle: Funny that you mention shoegaze. As some of you know, I was with the Kenton band for a time in the 50's. Now, Stan Kenton was known for being quite animated onstage. Too animated, some said, and some blamed Krupa for this, though Kenton was no hop-head. Oddly, circa '57, Kenton internalized, withdrew and became very stoic on the bandstand. No more choreographed leaps or sudden lunges towards the front row. (Oh, the crowds loved those!) - Instead, he either stared straight ahead or (you guessed it!) he stared at his shoes. I think it was the Davenport Advocate-Leader that first stated "Shoe-gazer Kenton Disappoints Crowd with Low-Key Performance." Was he the first? I'm not sure. But he certainly was a trendsetter, there's no doubt about that. We had a lot of fun back then.
	4:11pm Dave B: Yeah Kevlicki... maybe that or Costa Rica....
	♥ 4:12pm coelacanth: Dave B that's genius! ...now i have something to do on VD.
	4:12pm Cliff: Oh thank you so much for that Lyle
	4:12pm JakeGould: Jonathan Schwartz makes shoegazers depressed.
	4:12pm Cliff: I believe every word you say Lyle. I always will.
	♥ 4:14pm JtotheK: speaking of stan kenton, about 10 years ago i passed up his drummer's LP -- THE BARON VON OHLEN QUARTET: THE BARON - when it as at area record store, thinking i'll find it again some other time. i have not. another sigh
	♥ 4:16pm chris: i always tell people i was born in the year of the cock... people who know me nod their heads in understanding
	4:16pm Brendan: Uh ok
	4:18pm Brendan: Not that we were thinking that, but um yeah ok
	4:18pm Cliff: JakeGould, so just MBV and Slowdive, that's it? I thought you said there were a few others you'd include (And I was born in '78 and the only alternative music I got to listen to when I was in high school was on a Saturday night program on our local college radio, so have some patience with me ok?)
	4:19pm Brendan: Nothing wrong with raising poultry
	4:20pm Cliff: We didn't even have MTV, except for a brief period from 1991-1994ish.
	4:21pm Dave B: For that Owen and Leon song - just pronounce it with an exaggerated Boston accent - CAULK
	♥ 4:22pm Meghan: hahaha.... I COULD do that!
	4:22pm paula pc: CLASSIC
	4:22pm Lyle: The Baron Von Ohlen! Dear, Lord. His real name was Barry Olson. There's no doubt about it. Barry was a darn fine drummer, though, like Krupa he liked the wacky-tobacky. He was the first to use aluminum sticks. His first pair were actually made of iron, and after playing those for a year or two, he built-up these huge Popeye forearms! We laughed about that. The Baron is a fine record. I actually play on it. (you guessed ... 4th bone). That's me on side two doing a lot of what bone players call "blatting." That low-end, flatulent sound. It was a whole new thing back then. It would be years before Phil Bodner or James Pankow would get into blatting the way I did. Not to blow my own horn! Those were great sessions. Last I heard, Barry was the Assistant Manager of a Hinky Dinky in Crete, Nebraska.
	4:23pm Cliff: There is a Hinky Dinky in Crete, NE. His story checks out.
	4:25pm Cliff: No wait, it's in Auburn. There's a Kens Pharmacy in Crete. (Why am I googling these things?!)
	♥ 4:28pm coelacanth: when does Lyle get his own 1-hour storytime show on wfmu? -have someone else produce it, with musical interludes and such...
	♥ 4:28pm JtotheK: @lyle - i regret passing on 'the baron' lp, i don't remember much of it - i believe the store owner spun a few tracks, but can't say for certain which...
	♥ 4:29pm chris: lovin' these tracks, Meghan! was thinking same, coelacanth, maybe work with the ole' Codger for some on-air tips?
	4:29pm Cliff: coelcanth, you must email Ken about this right away. I will back you up 100%
	♥ 4:29pm Glenn L: I Love Mr. Airplane Man!
	♥ 4:30pm Meghan: They are soooo good
	4:31pm Cecile: this cut sounds like Morphine a little.
	4:31pm DAVEREEEVES: THIS SHOW RULES
	4:31pm Cliff: Hey JakeGould, only TWO bands do not a musical genre make. You're nuts.
	♥ 4:32pm Meghan: blushes thanks Davereeeves
	4:33pm Cecile: Cliff, JakeGould is egging you on.
	4:34pm geezerette: @ceolacanth @cliff A Lyle show would be fantastic!
	4:35pm Dave B: What's the maximum number of Dave's you've had on the chat boards Meghan? The other day Mayuko had 4 or 5. I have a vague recollection of you having a bunch more once or twice
	4:35pm Cliff: Cecile, I know, but he said "feh" to me
	4:35pm Cliff: Feh.
	♥ 4:36pm Meghan: oh man... I don't know... but I know it was almost a bunch of Dave's..... where we had to give them all different last name letters.... maybe 6?
	4:36pm Cecile: shrugs shoulders Ima not in a position to pick your battles for you ,Cliff. Have at it.
	4:37pm Cliff: Well, I'm a little calmer this afternoon then yesterday morning during Chris M.'s show.
	4:37pm Dave L.B.: ...oh dad - we're all Dave-o...
	4:38pm Cecile: that was a stressful morning.
	4:38pm Cliff: And nobody's threatened to punch me in the throat yet, so that's good.
	4:39pm Cliff: Yeah, I don't know what was going on, I was just kidding around but it seemed pretty aggro with the others, huh?
	♥ 4:40pm listener james from westwood: I met the amazing Ted Leonard for the first time yesterday and he was the bestest. So tough to leave at the end of the day and say goodbye to him.
	♥ 4:40pm coelacanth: i went back to that show, and comment board too. getting there late i was oblivious to the reasons why there seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over it.
	4:40pm Cliff: To be fair, that one guy who wanted to drive 4 hours here to punch me in the throat was apparently going through benzo withdrawls, so I can understand that.
	4:41pm Cliff: coelcanth, I guess Chris M. was in a bad mood that day? Although the theme of his show is that he makes stuff up, so I wasn't sure.
	4:42pm Cliff: But the end was good, everybody settled down and I got a lot of good advice from the other posters about buying a turntable.
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth: well, you did confess to being gullible!
	♥ 4:43pm coelacanth: (referring to that "threat"!)
	4:44pm Cliff: I am gullible, but I can BS as well as anyone else. I don't own any firearms, for example.
	4:44pm Cliff: Yeah, I knew benzo dude was just kidding around, but some of the others I wasn't so sure about!
	4:46pm Cliff: Also, as you probably saw, I went back later and read the entire thing while listening to Doug Sahm's "It's Gonna Be Easy" on repeat. It was great.
	4:48pm Linda Lee: really lovely music today Meghan! thank you!
	♥ 4:49pm Meghan: thanks Linda!
	4:50pm Lyle: Bennies? Oh. yes. I remember those. We took them by the fistful in the Frank Chacksfield band. You had to! The music was so dull. This was at the dawn of the easy listening music era, and artists like Montovani, Peter Nero, Frank Purcell and their ilk were cleaning up. Frank desperately wanted in on the action. In the course of one rehearsal, all of the horns were muted, the drums were eliminated altogether, and Frank instructed us all to switch from our usual cardinal red tuxedos to new beige jumpsuits, which we hated (they itched!) I lasted about two months with Chacksfield. It was fun though, in its way.
	4:51pm Cliff: Oh Lyle, please never stop posting here, my God
	♥ 4:52pm coelacanth: yeh Cliff it wasn't overtly hostile when i got there but there was a certain tension. ...then dr."certified audiophile" (HAHAHAHAHA!!!) came along to piss me off with his delusions about being more qualified than 1/2 the rest of us!
	4:53pm Cliff: Never heard of Frank Chacksfield, but he has a wiki page where he's described as a "composer and conductor of popular light orchestral easy listening music". Story checks out again.
	4:55pm Cliff: Oh yes, audiophile guy was recommending me some brand that starts out at $500 for a low end TT, I'd already said my budget was around $200. Just about to click buy on an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB for $219.
	4:55pm Dave L.B.: Benzedrine & itchy jumpsuits.
	4:56pm Cliff: Wait, bennies are amphetamines, not benzos? Yeah, that would make a lot more sense if you're playing easy-listening music.
	4:57pm CeeDubbles: I would bring you cookies but the dough is frozen in the freezer and I have to pick Deb up at EWR at 5:45 pm.
	4:57pm still b/p: Encountered my old low-end turntable the other day, a Glenburn 2155A purchased in 1974 or 75, in the attic while looking for something else -- with the same thought as always, "When I gonna pull this down and see if it works?"
	♥ 4:57pm Meghan: awwwww, the thought that counts!
	4:58pm Cliff: Hey Meghan, apologies if you're bothered by us commandeering your board to talk about another show, and casual drug use and such
	4:59pm Dave B: I need to find someone to repair one of my Sony PS-F5s www.ps-f5.com
	5:00pm Cliff: And threats of violence, real or imaginary
	♥ 5:00pm Meghan: hahaha..... I try to not let what happens on another show bother me.... or even my own! I have had my fair share of jerks and perverts.... they come and go. As long as they go (or get banned!)
	♥ 5:02pm Tome: good stuff . Meghan and a nice surprise on this Friday Afternoon too !
	5:03pm Cliff: It was a weird mood yesterday on Chris M's show....I'm usually not as offensive myself as I was there, I dunno what was going on but everybody was egging each other on.
	♥ 5:03pm coelacanth: still b/p do it now! the rubber parts are drying out and will eventually harden, then break. it needs to be used.
	♥ 5:03pm Uncle Michael: cookies are done
	5:03pm Cliff: And yeah, it's good to hear you on the air again Meghan!
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth: what he said^.
	5:05pm glenn: jerks and perverts for the win.
	♥ 5:05pm Meghan: Thanks Tome and all! Hey there glenn!
	5:06pm Cliff: glenn, I liked your one-liner yesterday morning, it made me laugh out loud.
	♥ 5:09pm Guido from Cologne: Enjoying every bit of the show! :-)
	5:10pm Cliff: Lyle, got any stories about the recording of Doug Sahm's "It's Gonna Be Easy"? Apparently Chris M had found a rare version where they were all on acid and played the song 12 times in a row without realizing it.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - you has w/ you the 'oreos in ice cream' dawgie?
	5:11pm Cecile: oh! Gui Boratto. Love him.
	♥ 5:12pm Meghan: I do have my Oreo McFlurry pup next to me!
	5:13pm Mark R.: OK, so I've been enjoying your show (as I enjoy all your fill-ins), but I haven't had a chance to comment until now. First of all, that cover of "Sunshine of Your Love" was the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life! That bass sound was amazing. Point two: I'm pretty sure I used to work with the drummer of the Gories. I think. And finally, Protomartyr is from my old stomping grounds, Ann Arbor, and I'm so happy they're getting so much FMU love. I thought "The Agent Intellect" was one of the best albums of the year, IMHO. And that is all my commenting and I shall now return to delighted listening. Say hello to your most wonderful and excellent and friendly dog for me!
	5:14pm glenn: which one liner was that?
	♥ 5:14pm Mark the Sardine: Love this Gui Boratto track
	5:14pm still b/p: You're right, coelacanth. Be very disappointing to behold it relatively unbattered and then discover elder-rubber failure.
	♥ 5:15pm Meghan: ha! Thanks Mark! That is a mouth full!
	5:15pm Cliff: It was something like, "What in the living fuck is wrong with all of you?"
	5:16pm Cliff: Which just about summed up what was going on the first half of that show
	5:18pm Lyle: Cliff, I hope I have not given you or anyone the impression that I approve of recreational drug ingestion. This being said, as far as LDS is concerned, I do recall the time when the talented Toni Scotti sang "1-2-3" for a group of Marines in Iwakuni on a little package tour we were on. Tony always took pride in his handsome appearance, however, under the influence of the LDS, he forgot one very important thing ... his pants! Imagine the look on those Marines faces when Toni ran onstage fully unaware that he was only half-clad, singing ... "one, two, three, that's how elementary ... it's gonna be." The whole place erupted into one collective guffaw! Even Tony laughed when he realized what he'd done, and like a trooper, he finished the show, despite the cold breeze blowing in off the Seto Inland Sea.
	5:19pm Cliff: You mean he was a Mormon, Lyle?
	5:19pm geezerette: @ Lyle And the Mormons were responsible?
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marines - 1st in, last out.
	5:21pm glenn: speaking of drug ingestion, mets fans, one of your pitchers has just become the first player to receive a lifetime m.l.b. ban for steroids.
	5:21pm Cliff: And I neither condone nor condemn recreational drug use, or the joining of religious groups with "interesting" beliefs. Having done/still doing plenty of both it would be hypocritical of me to do so.
	5:22pm Cliff: Never heard of Tony Scotti either, but he is quite a handsome and well-dressed man on google image search (IMO). Story checks out again.
	5:24pm Cliff: RevRabbit, HAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!! My dad (R.I.P.) was a sergeant in the USMC, he would've loved your zinger. And probably would've elaborated upon it at length.
	♥ 5:26pm Michael in Seattle: ( I have to comment that this has to be one of THE best stations in the known world -- and a much more entertaining forum than i usually stumble into on the InterWeb. )
	5:27pm glenn: we're here for ya, seattle.
	♥ 5:27pm Meghan: I think we can ALL agree on that!
	♥ 5:28pm Michael in Seattle: thankyou
	5:29pm Cliff: Good ol' Dad, he sure was an expert at precisely explaining how he wanted things done, just like my stepdad Pat (also R.I.P.) He also showed me how to properly screw apart any piece of machinery and put it back together without breaking it or losing any screws in the process. He was a helicopter mechanic in the Marine Corps, they trained him well.
	5:32pm Cliff: Served in Vietnam '66-'69, and wasn't treated well at all when he got back, had people spit at him and scream "BABYKILLER!!!" right in his face, he was always bitter about that but I don't blame him for it.
	5:36pm Cliff: Forgot to mention, his showing me how to properly take stuff apart and put it back together when I was a kid was what led to my current hobby of building custom computers.
	5:37pm Lyle: Please thank him for his service, Cliff. Someday I'll tell you about the time I was with Charro's band and we did a swing through Laos in the '80's. Played Euphonium on that tour! Time for a nap. Bless you kids.
	5:38pm Cliff: I'll have to hold a seance to do that, Lyle. He died of cancer back in 1998, just after I turned 20 years old.
	5:38pm Cliff: Still think of him almost every day since then.
	5:39pm Lyle: Well, I am sorry to hear that, but I am sure he lives on in your memories. You take care now.
	5:39pm Cliff: Take care Lyle, and I hope you didn't hit any landmines traveling through Laos in the 80's there!
	5:41pm Cliff: Ugh, that's not really something I should be joking about.
	♥ 5:41pm northguineahills: Off to do laundry, would listen w/ my phone, but my battery has been wonky, especially w/ the cold lately. Thanks Meghan, good to hear you again!
	5:43pm Cliff: But yeah, thanks Lyle. By the way, I have an uncle named Lyle, he even spells it the same way you do.
	5:44pm Cliff: Derp, what am I thinking, no he doesn't, he spells it Lyall. Gotta cut down on the recreational benzos some!
	♥ 5:44pm coelacanth: diggin' this
	♥ 5:44pm chris: super great set!
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Meghan deffo works by the Set, no? Like a meal w/ courses...
	5:46pm Cliff: True dat, RevRabbit
	♥ 5:46pm chris: yeah, and this raw meat course is killer! :)
	♥ 5:47pm Meghan: hahaha.....
	♥ 5:48pm Tome: loving the heaviness now ..
	5:48pm Lyle: Well, you tell old Uncle Lyle hello and no, I managed to avoid the minefields. I did get the mumps, though, which was quite serious at my age. Not that I intend to father another child or anything.
	♥ 5:48pm Tome: SpEcTaCULaR !! show yes
	♥ 5:49pm Michael in Seattle: this'll make you forget the temperature outside.
	♥ 5:49pm Meghan: I was in this kind of mood this week too.... hahaha. Shoegaze to rawk. Saw this band, Graveyard, on Monday. Soooo good
	5:49pm Cliff: Meghan, you go all over the place. You and Gaylord Fields and Marty McSorley are the heart and soul of WFMU!
	5:50pm Jefff: Lights out!
	♥ 5:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: OK, here now. Shall we start this party already?
	5:51pm Cliff: And not to mention Ken, of course. Who introduced us all a couple weeks ago to the wonderful Siberian Jew's-Harp Goddess known as Olga Podluzhnaya.
	♥ 5:51pm Meghan: the joys of freeform! Also shows we have a very diverse taste in music. Love it!
	5:54pm Jefff: ...and thanks for Earth. Haven't heard that track in a while.
	♥ 5:54pm Meghan: that Jew harp player was introduced to him by ME!
	5:54pm glenn: it's -16 celsius outside. it's kinda hard to forget about.
	♥ 5:55pm chris: thanks so much, Meghan! great show! loved it.
	5:55pm geezerette: Live DJs infinitely better than Spotify!
	5:55pm glenn: oh? did you find olga on radioooo, meghan?
	5:56pm Cliff: Meghan, God bless you!!!!! You're the best!!!! (For Olga newbs, here's the video of her awesomeness: youtu.be... )
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Righteous. Thx Meghan !
