	3:13pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Jonathan and all
	3:13pm Handy Haversack: BBQBJA: wfmu.org... for streaming through VLC or similar There are other URLs. Gimme a sec.
	3:14pm mariano: I've (not) been blurred and obscured for so long now. Good to hear you again, JH, hi, everyone! Hey, Handy! Yes, I can't believe I wasn't using the AAC stream or whatever it's called, just switched a few months ago. Much better sound quality than the popup player.
	3:14pm brainiac: I'm down for today's subversive spoken word. "plop"
	3:15pm Handy Haversack: Try: stream0.wfmu.org... www.wfmu.org...
	3:15pm chresti: Sorryto have missed your 199th show , Jherweg.
	3:16pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: thanks handy. tht worked
	3:16pm Hughie Considine: Deft is the word I would use to describe that segue
	3:16pm Handy Haversack: Mariano, mi amor! Happy 200, Jonathan! Hope you had a great time at Mdou Moctar -- we did! Ah, good, BBQBJA!
	3:16pm brainiac: I like stream0.wfmu.org... because, like me, it's low complexity.
	3:17pm Smog on the Tyne: Hello all my fellow travellers in the failure-sphere of sound!
	3:17pm Crosby in KC: @mariano, agreed. I always used the pop-up and had to deal with drop outs and such.
	3:17pm Noel: Nice!
	3:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that ghost forest is one helluva rekkid.
	3:19pm Smog on the Tyne: Never heard this Dangled Sunset track before, it’s lovely stuff!
	3:19pm Stanley: Hello Smoggy, bonnie lad.
	3:21pm Smog on the Tyne: Howdee Stanley! it’s snowing in Geordieland tonight!
	3:22pm Stanley: We've had a bit of snow up here, too, in Auld Reekie
	3:23pm tinyass: hello you all thank you jonathan for the music chears.
	🎙 3:23pm _Ike_: Good to hear ya, JH!
	3:25pm Julian in LA: good set enjoying it
	3:26pm Royvis: Glad to have you back JH!
	3:26pm MikeG: Congratulations! A milestone!
	3:26pm tinyass: momentous! congrats on 200!
	3:27pm listener james from westwood: Happy 200th!
	3:27pm Doobois: Congrats, JH! To the next 200!
	3:27pm mariano: Great minds, Crosby! Speaking of KC, I haven't been there since 1990 or so, but I really liked it the couple of times I went. Spiney Norman's still there? I used to live in Omaha and bought my music at Drastic Plastic, which is (was?) owned by the same guy.
	3:28pm Rich in Washington: I recently watched Testament again.
	3:29pm The Oscar: I watched an old Siskel & Ebert where they did a spotlight on The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, which I guess had a wave of popularity at rental stores when one of its prophecies seemed to come true. They seemed kind of baffled by the whole thing.
	🎙 3:29pm ike̶̬̕: Hoo boy, I was already terrified enough of nukes when I was little in the 80s -- I'm glad I never saw that Orson Welles thing (or stumbled across The Day After), that would have made it much worse.
	3:31pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi
	3:32pm Gnomon: Hey glad to hear you here Johnathan. It’s morning for me and I always like waking up to your show.
	3:32pm Hughie Considine: Scary songs just stick with you. Mine was Dean Gitter's "Skin & Bones" -- terrifying stuff, like a Shirley Jackson story set to music.
	3:32pm headcleaner: There's no bunch of folks I'd rather pull out a lawn chair + await the inevitable shower of hypersonic nuclear-tipped cruise missiles with than all of youse, right now
	3:33pm Crosby in KC: @mariano..Spiney Norman's...I'm not familiar with it. I moved here in 1992 so I may have missed it. There was Needmore Discs, which was great and the Music Exchange and Penny Lane (which was pretty mainstream) when I got here. Lots of new vinyl places have been popping up in the last 5-10 years
	3:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Ike .. heh! The Day After was the TV event of a lifetime, at the time. Screwed a whole generation's (mine) brains into a vortex of anxiety for life. Opioid crisis? I have a theory.
	3:34pm Eric the Hat: Wow. This Brad Mehldau is sick.
	3:34pm ?: Love this show
	3:35pm Eric the Hat: Thanks and Happy Thorsday to you Mr. Herweg
	3:35pm Lixiviated Life: Random Statement of the Day: i've been re-watching Blade Runner 2049 and i find it fascinating.
	3:36pm brainiac: Was out of the room at the start Brad Mehldau and thought I was missing a new WING track.
	3:37pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Hi “It’s much better to die of hunger unhindered by grief and fear than to live affluently beset with worry, dread, suspicion, and unchecked desire.” — The Classical Mannual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness by Epictetus. Modern Translation -Sharon Lebell
	3:38pm headcleaner: So now I understand what all those slightly older and bigger kids, doing bong hits, listening to Tom Sawyer shortly after it came out, were tuning into
	3:38pm tinyass: did anybody ever see "threads"
	3:39pm tinyass: it's like the british "day after" just so terrifying
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + DasHerweg +
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DayAfter leads to OpiodCrisis ...had someone suggest the hysteria of hallucinated GreyAliens was subconscious reaction to the imagery & reality of the Holocaust ...I laughed ...but waitaminnit ...speaking of dying of hunger & fear...
	3:46pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, The Day After messed me up as a kid. tinyass, I think that Creamo might have incorporated some audio from Threads into his early-pandemic sound wallops. See his premium this year! Rev Rab! Damn it, I owe you that piece of mail still. Sorry, it's been a mess here.
	3:46pm luka: LOOOOOOU
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: Mess is something I unnnerstan. Damn but Lou deliver with just an acoustic.
	3:48pm Handy Haversack: "Fade!"
	3:49pm Crosby in KC: The Day After was terrifying at the time. I wonder if it still holds up?
	3:49pm HyperDose: It was the film of Ray Bradbury's All Summer in a Day for me, Handy. That poor kid!
	🎙 3:50pm ike̶̬̕: @Crosby, I saw it (for the first time) as an adult several years ago on Syfy (ugh) when I still had cable. Absolutely chilling.
	3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: War is the Opposite of Civilization ...Nukes are the Opposite of Everything... Yerknow - we ♏︎Scorpios love tripping on Apocalypse & all that funkystuff...
	3:53pm Miss G: Could only tune in a minute but so enjoyed that Lou Reed. Had to put in a plug for graphic novel from UK Raymond Briggs "When the Wind Blows" (did it become a film?) Oddly for me, the same man who did "The Snowman" which I watched a zillion times when my nieces/nephew were little.
	3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - if you can read 'Hiroshima' by John Hersey & still think Homo sapiens doesn't have some serious kind of problem to consider these things strategically - it's something I can't account for ...w/out the obligatory exposition of how the A-Bomb compares to the H-Bomb - &tc. ...
	3:53pm PaulRobeson1920: That reminds me
	3:54pm PaulRobeson1920: Oppenheimer wrote that everyone should read “Hiroshima Diary” 1955 UNC press
	3:54pm manana: This is really nice
	3:54pm Miss G: Or yes, RRN63, <Black Rain (黒い雨, Kuroi ame) is a 1989 Japanese drama film by director Shōhei Imamura, based on the novel of the same name by Masuji Ibuse.> Saw it at the NYFF. Hard to find now. Devastating.
	3:55pm Miss G: Robert Haigh very nice to hear after the tornado went by 2 PM
	3:58pm Crosby in KC: @ike̶̬̕: I'll have to see it again, given the potential renewed cold war ...sheesh!
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the context of yer BuckyFullers & TerenceMcKennas & DavidLynches & all who make the point we could feed & clothe & house & educate every soul on the planet - we've arrived @ a the point in Human History it could finally be done ! ...If that really was what our actual Values were ...it should be PartyTime on PlanetEarth. But no.
	3:59pm PaulRobeson1920: uncpress.org... Hiroshima Diary The Journal of a Japanese Physician, August 6-September 30, 1945 By Michihiko Hachiya, M.D. Michihiko Haciya was the director of the communications hospital, when the bomb fell he was at home… never intended to publishing his diary…Oppenheimer is adamant…He WANTS U to READ THE DIARY
	4:01pm PaulRobeson1920: Please Forgive the typos There are stories in there that every school child the world over should know by heart
	4:01pm Robm: Fellow listeners if you ever want to be really depressed watch on the beach that will really make so
	4:02pm Handy Haversack: SUBDIVISIONS
	4:02pm PaulRobeson1920: Stories about children. To draw lessons from
	4:02pm HyperDose: I have a sample dump folder too. Usually wait until it hits a couple hundred files before I bother to sort through it.
	4:02pm luka: i also blew it re: Rush
	4:03pm Andres: Go see/play Primus playing Rush.
	4:03pm Handy Haversack: Same. And Leonard Cohen.
	4:03pm PaulRobeson1920: Turn off the moving image for good. & free time will find you
	4:03pm luka: what Andres said, i saw Primus in Oct. and they killed.
	4:04pm mariano: SUBDIVISIONS
	4:04pm ?: Play Rush. Just do it. Play The Anarchist off their last album.
	🎙 4:05pm ike̶̬̕: OMG Bixby Incredible Hulk sad piano music!!!
	4:06pm Handy Haversack: "Bury me in torn purple pants ..."
	4:06pm P-90: “Fabweg” today? I’m in!
	4:07pm PaulRobeson1920: no eye lids, no shade, no water, no lips, still alive
	🎙 4:07pm JtotheK: Thanks for the Jason W. track - he has a radio program on local community radio, classical music/chamber music.
	🎙 4:07pm ike̶̬̕: That was my favorite show when I was a little kid. A lot of those Bixby IH episodes don't hold up AT ALL, but the one that's a rip-off of "The Most Dangerous Game" is still good! (Every 70s-80s action show did a rip-off of that.)
	4:09pm TDK60: Hi Jonathan.
	4:10pm YETI BOB: This is a long way from Ravenstine's synth work with Pere Ubu. Interesting. Thanks Jonathan.
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think of NeilPeart as the other end of some spectrum as KeithMoon (whom Peart praised btw) - all Technique as opposed to Expression. But what Technique ! ...& yerknow - one (maybe not you) tends to think these Artists worked up to such a standard on one day & made a record. But no - RoyOrbison - for instance - sang like that every stinkin' night of his life...
	4:12pm Meesalikeu: ahello cleveland its alan ravenstine … pere ubu’s guy … i applaud your excellent taste mr dj
	4:16pm P-90: @Ike: the 2-hour pilot movie for the Bixby Hulk series is the real gem there (imho), the rest is very uneven.
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (>L< )))
	4:17pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Jonathan and all!!!
	🎙 4:20pm ike̶̬̕: @P-90, agreed, saw the pilot movie for the first time several years ago and it was great! Some of the other TV-movies/two-parters are interesting too, particularly the very weird one where he's stuck in the middle of a transformation and gets captured by the military, though unfortunately it fizzles out at the end.
	🎙 4:21pm Flint_Jack: Hey Jonathan, really enjoying the music
	4:21pm abbazabba: I thought this was Pigpen from the Dead singing at first
	🎙 4:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jonathan. Happy bicentennial! 💯💯
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Owned now by Disney - but Marvel characters endure because they're that good. Created primarily by JackKirby & not so much StanLee as people think... TheHulk : How to fight an enemy who gets stronger the madder he becomes ?? I love asking little boys into the superheroes what they think about that ...the Kirby work was as relevant as SciFi novelists...
	4:27pm Carmichael: Heya Jonathan and waxing philosophers. Fabio is no doubt observing the Cesar Chavez holiday like all of un California.
	4:28pm mr 6: Jonathan welcome back
	4:28pm Miss G: Good song by McDaniels to listen to as I attempt to figure out the VA budget and whether the Veteran Farmer Training where my niece works was/will be funded. . .I mean, that is a _readymade._
	4:28pm Carmichael: *us in
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not to mention poor CaptainAmerica - literally frozen in WWII & thawed out into the 1960s...
	4:33pm HyperDose: Imagine that culture shock, RRN63!
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - as yer DC heroes - Superman Batman WonderWoman are WWII era archetypes - & Marvel was 1960s...
	4:35pm dale: will smith should be kicked out of sag. hey now - great music.
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1920: America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor…..They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1920: 1969
	4:36pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, I was already dreaming about unCalifornia, where the laborers won and the intentional communities flourished in the orange groves and there was water where water was meant to be. It sounds like a nice place!
	4:36pm Noel: Chris Rock is a grown man.
	4:36pm Meesalikeu: ‘they’ say the oscars slap incident was likely faked - who knows tho or cares really?
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Campbell saying the Myths are enacted now on StreetCorners - that's Marvel, which focused a lot on NYC... 'You think it's about Freedom - but it's not. It's about Money. If you don't think so - try going anywhere without Money.' - BillHicks Scripted ? By Actors ? @ a popularly flagging TV ceremony ? Well - it's Scripted now...
	4:38pm brainiac: Handy, exchange oranges for tomatoes and you've got Sacramento. Happy Cesar Chavez Day, everyone.
	4:38pm TDK60: Carmichael, I do recall boycotting grapes and lettuce in support of the United Farm Workers union.
	4:38pm PaulRobeson1920: Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves. Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five 1969 Have you read Hiroshima Diary, Yet? Oppenheimer WANTS YOU
	4:39pm Carmichael: Hollywood isn’t real, so anything that happens there isn’t either.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Everybody on TV is Upper Middle Class like it's still the white 1950s ...& that's a slap in the face awlright...
	4:41pm TDK60: Paul Robeson, been down to Bryant Park lately?
	4:42pm egould310: Stuck in a railyard in Kalama, WA. Slowly the train goes back and forth. Will traffic ever move again? Will I get to my destination? This show is all that is keeping me from going insane. Thank you.
	4:42pm HyperDose: I'm boycotting Russian dressing for a while. Gotta do your part 🦅🇺🇸
	4:42pm PaulRobeson1920: @TDK: Hey man. Yes, on Monday. Bitterly cold day
	4:42pm desi: yes! sounds gr8 here in live oak. fl
	4:43pm Crosby in KC: Byrd always sounds so effortless. Like his fingers and breath just know what to do before his brain does.
	4:44pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: egould310 that puts me in mind of One Toke Over the Line
	4:44pm Mike W: Chris Rock is a dick. “I hope this is right,” said Rock. “Ahmir Thompson and four white guys.” Was he in shock from getting slapped? Maybe, but, he used the same shitty joke the night before. www.nbcnews.com... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/indian-american-filmmaker-slams-chris-rock-calling-white-guy-oscars-rcna22437
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: “This country has socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poor.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, 1968 Now after more than a Half Century of calling us pinko commie sympathizers - the Crypto Far Right is licking Putin's backside...
	4:45pm PaulRobeson1920: The Pigeons in Bryant Park are plump! Some of the Biggest pigeons in the city. They had their heads tucked in it was so cold & windy
	4:47pm TDK60: Yes, I'd been out walking in that cold, Paul. In Fort Tryon Park.
	4:47pm Andres: Goes back to earlier talk of The Incredible Hulk tv show. Just focusing on this part, “Banner lives a nomadic life, traveling from town to town in search of a cure and helping people where he can.” - from ‘pedia. Hard to imagine that being accepted as a plausible scenario these days. At least the Littlest Hobo was cute so it was tougher to ignore him.
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BruceBanner is a supergenius DoctorScientist - & the Hulk the purest Id... Great. None of Frankenstein's confusion of which is Doctor & which is Monster... Metaphysician & Golem...
	4:51pm rx scabin: Good evening. Dinner is cooking. The grandchildren etc are here.
	4:52pm Toby Core: Glad to hear you mixing it up on FMU Jon
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am become Death the Destroyer of Worlds.
	4:53pm Rich in Washington: I always found Incredible Hulk the TV show weird as a kid. Banner/Bixby's character always ended up in these implausible scenarios where someone would inflict pain on him so he could turn into the Hulk. It seemed like he liked getting hurt, as he was always roaming around and getting himself into these situations. They should've explored the weird psycho aspect of that.
	4:54pm PaulRobeson1920: Not many people out on Monday, the wind took all the heat from you
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh it's all about Schizophrenia there.
	4:55pm egould310: How come when he “hulks out” all of his clothes rip off; except his pants?
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well, that's Freudian...
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they do turn quite purple...
	4:56pm Andres: Ha! Never thought about the purple pants!
	🎙 4:57pm Jherweg: Oh man I miss Toby Core so much, he was my main homeboy! :(
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: It was the seventies, egould. Sans-a-Belt ruled us all.
	4:57pm PaulRobeson1920: @egould310: because the women and children, egould. Who will protect the women and children?
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...any creative can gainfully retrocon that kinda stuff...
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: Goblin, Jonathan's playing your song! Jonathan, please play "A Bugbear, a Bugbear" next so that the kittens don't get jealous of each other.
	4:59pm DjLorraine: Good evening. That remends me of the Kung Fu series in the 70's. The gentle pacificist always had to Fu up the bad guys.
	5:00pm Miss G: Did "Red Sonja" ever have a show? That was the comic I read. ;-)
	5:01pm pollypinocle: Great show! Thank you!
	5:01pm Handy Haversack: There was a movie, Miss G. In the eighties.
	5:02pm dale: you hulk fans, benny hulk is HI-larious! www.dailymotion.com...
	5:03pm Miss G: Thank you HH but I guess I'll just live with my memories. I loved her outfit, her hair, and the tagline "She Devil With A Sword." The action part would put me to sleep.
	5:04pm pollypinocle: Purple and green are complimentary colors, but of course!
	5:04pm Rich in Washington: The first ever time I did late night radio my car got towed! It took me hours and hours and hundreds of dollars to get it sorted out.
	5:04pm desi: Hmmm true pollypinocle fashionably late
	5:05pm pollypinocle: You could tell that the Hulk worked very hard on his whole ensemble. Always ripped in all the right places, like a Hot Topic tee!
	5:06pm rx scabin: To warn you that he is the Hulk. There are lots of other angry people.
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: I think the comic was the best iteration of the Red Sonja character, Miss G -- you're better off!
	5:07pm Crosby in KC: Miss G, the film had Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger so.....y'know.
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MissG: FrankThorne had a particular gift for portraying not unattractive womenz. I had noticed that... Yeah Handy - they'd haft Animate her in that style to make it...
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rawk rhythms driving into the Earth & Spacey sounds go together like Green & Purple.
	5:12pm Andres: Also, the Ang Lee / Eric Bana “Hulk” (2003) was the best at a nuanced exploration of the character on film. I think it was well before the conception of the MCU / Avengers through line so it was able to be its own thing.
	5:12pm fred: It must be my lucky day: I come back from a good dance show, and Jonathan is on the air! (I expect payback tomorrow)
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Andres: & naturally - considered a relative financial flop...
	5:14pm Miss G: Yes, agreed on Frank Thorne, I wasn't remembering his name. I mean, the women in comics at that time were, you know, over the top (emphasis on top) but when I do an image search, in later years the illustration is just nutso.
	5:16pm lazy rider: Just reading back here, I picked up a copy from WFMU on eBay of "Nobody Loves The Hulk" by The Traits a while back. What a great song. Mysterious label too, Queens City Records. Great track!
	5:17pm Andres: RevRab: Yes. A failure only by that absurd measure.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Hulk's girlfriend - his Anima - BettyRoss - essentially BetsyRoss the creator of the AmericanFlag..
	5:20pm egould310: Well I’m out of the railyard. Made it to my destination. Downed a vodka soda and a hummus plate. Took a pee. And now it’s back on the road to Seattle. Bring me home safely, Jonathan.
	5:25pm Miss G: Just remembered, there was a "Teen Hulk" in Crazy Magazine circa 1980. Funny to type that as such sublime sounds are playing.
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...all we care about is Sax & Violins...
	5:26pm Fredericks: Bone Prisms makes me think of some of Alice Coltrane's work.
	5:27pm jameson 57: Is Elle Fanning any relation to Eli Manning?
	5:37pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, everyone. It's waaaaaay after five, local time.
	5:37pm Miss G: Aww, I love Gabor Szabo. And Cheers, HH.
	5:38pm abbazabba: Been listening since the beginning, but have to go now. Thank you for the awesome show today, Jonathan. I always get excited when I see you're doing a show
	5:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This talk of the 1970s Hulk series makes me realize ... All those shows from that time explain why I never went into a "bar" until I was in my 20s. Always seemed like you'd immediately be hassled by a character-actor in a denim vest & thrown against the mirrored wall behind the bar.
	🎙 5:39pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: What Abbazabba said.
	🎙 5:39pm Jherweg: Gamma rays turn pants purple , everyone knows that!!
	5:40pm Handy Haversack: Did experience bear that out once you went through the swinging saloon doors, Rev.?
	5:40pm :): Such a awesome set, so happy to hear you on the radio today, you belong on the air all the time!!! 💞
	5:41pm Miss G: ha, Rev. Turnip Druid. Peaceful thoughts going out to the descendants of the old men in the bars I used to go to in the EV. . .
	5:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sadly, no, HH .. And then in the intervening years, "gastropubs" happened and now the character-actors in denim vests & mutton-chop sideburns are left in the cold, poor dears.
	5:42pm fred: @Handy: I think the vegetable clergy later got the hint and bought a denim vest
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just rewatched 'There But For Fortune' about PhilOchs ...posited that altho' he's the Greatest LeftWing Political Songwriter - he had gone to Military School & had John Wayne in his heart...
	5:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: suddenly feeling like i absolutely need a denim vest.
	5:43pm Andres: In an episode of Twin Peaks: The Return, Sarah Palmer went into a bar and literally almost bit the head off a guy that was hassling her. So yes, enjoy your beverages at home. Cheers!
	5:44pm PaulRobeson1920: Ah, Phil Ochs
	5:44pm Old Dave: respect the accordian
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is why we pretend to have 'Pubs' in the U.S. now ...they're really gentrified family friendly corporate digital TV sportsbars...
	5:45pm Handy Haversack: Denim vests all around!
	5:46pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Pauline Oliveros
	5:46pm PaulRobeson1920: @Rev Rabbit: You know Phil Ochs loves Paul. They died in the same year
	5:47pm Handy Haversack: Even the punk bars are charging $9 for pints around here, Rev Rab.
	5:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: There's at least one classic 1970s-era ride-up open-front biker bar around here (baltimore). Gonna give it a shot, once the denim vest is in place. No time to grow the muttons, alas...
	5:48pm Miss G: White Fence = Tim Presley = DRINKS. I love being the secretary.
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ * BICENTENNIAL HERWEG * ~
	5:49pm wolfette: well this show was great! Happy 200!!
	5:49pm chresti: Haha Fabio withdrawal
	5:49pm fred: For some reason, "gastropub" always reminds me of "gastropod". Doesn't make it more appealing
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: fred, transitively, I think we can now just call them "pseudopods."
	5:50pm squidbeak: Had a great night listening at work, cheers everyone 👍
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great recent interview w/ Lee Renaldo & Steve Shelley reflecting on many aspects of the SY scene : podcasts.apple.com...
	5:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: we must not deny a mollusc his or her well-deserved booze!
	5:51pm VincentNifigance: So happy to hear you Jonathan.
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pseudopubz...
	5:52pm Jay k: 🤘🏼
	5:52pm Andres: Handy, $9 pints?! Add “violence to your wallet” to the list of threats right below “denim vested character actors”.
	5:52pm Handy Haversack: And those snails look so cute in their denim vests.
	5:53pm Kafuka: I’m happy you are here again. We all miss you.
	5:54pm fred: @Handy: Many years ago, a guy had a paladin character with pseudopods for eyes (also a gaseous houri, the guy eventually got a PhD in pure mathematics, made sense)
	5:54pm Miss G: I liked those albums SY1, SY2, etc. Well OK! Wow, so glad I could stick around and still get things done. Thank you so much Jonathan Herweg, I already shared around the Eugene McDaniels. Congrats on your 200th show!
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: I am totally on board, fred. (Except the paladin part, honestly. We have found they don't quite fit with player morals, let alone character morals! At some point I'll stop being lazy and just write up a "religious fanatic fighter" class and make the break with the TSR-inflected Jehovah's Witness paladin complete.)
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bitchen show for sure. ~ TY Always DJ JH ~
	5:57pm Handy Haversack: Oh, crap, and many thanks, Jonathan! So glad to hear you and be here for show 200! Congrats! Stay blurry and obscurey, everyone!
	5:57pm YETI BOB: :ZOVIET*FRANCE:
	5:58pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for the excellent show today, Jonathan! Everyone have a lovely weekend!
	5:58pm bleubombersune: JH thanks for the fantastic music
	5:58pm Andres: Great 200th show! Thanks, Johnathan!
	5:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: perfect ending, this.
	5:58pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank Uuu. Good show, Johnathan
	5:59pm Old Dave: Pint of Yuengling Premium costs exactly $0.97166667 with tax here in Pennsylvania. Of course, you have to haul it to your destination and open the container yourself among those you wish to imbibe among. I don't have a pub license, though... and that is making the world safer for all concerned.
	5:59pm fred: Thanks Jonathan! Please consider coming back to a regular show
	5:59pm YETI BOB: Trippiest music ever...
	5:59pm Niall: Ah, :Z*F:, I love you.
	5:59pm brainiac: I could spend the rest of your life listening to Zoviet France after I won the lottery. Thank you, Jonathan
	6:00pm Old Dave: Great show!
	6:00pm chresti: Thanks Jonathan!
	11:13pm JakeGould: Sorry to have missed this live! Will catch it in the archives.

	3:13pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Jonathan and all
	3:13pm Handy Haversack: BBQBJA: wfmu.org... for streaming through VLC or similar There are other URLs. Gimme a sec.
	3:14pm mariano: I've (not) been blurred and obscured for so long now. Good to hear you again, JH, hi, everyone! Hey, Handy! Yes, I can't believe I wasn't using the AAC stream or whatever it's called, just switched a few months ago. Much better sound quality than the popup player.
	3:14pm brainiac: I'm down for today's subversive spoken word. "plop"
	3:15pm Handy Haversack: Try: stream0.wfmu.org... www.wfmu.org...
	3:15pm chresti: Sorryto have missed your 199th show , Jherweg.
	3:16pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: thanks handy. tht worked
	3:16pm Hughie Considine: Deft is the word I would use to describe that segue
	3:16pm Handy Haversack: Mariano, mi amor! Happy 200, Jonathan! Hope you had a great time at Mdou Moctar -- we did! Ah, good, BBQBJA!
	3:16pm brainiac: I like stream0.wfmu.org... because, like me, it's low complexity.
	3:17pm Smog on the Tyne: Hello all my fellow travellers in the failure-sphere of sound!
	3:17pm Crosby in KC: @mariano, agreed. I always used the pop-up and had to deal with drop outs and such.
	3:17pm Noel: Nice!
	3:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that ghost forest is one helluva rekkid.
	3:19pm Smog on the Tyne: Never heard this Dangled Sunset track before, it’s lovely stuff!
	3:19pm Stanley: Hello Smoggy, bonnie lad.
	3:21pm Smog on the Tyne: Howdee Stanley! it’s snowing in Geordieland tonight!
	3:22pm Stanley: We've had a bit of snow up here, too, in Auld Reekie
	3:23pm tinyass: hello you all thank you jonathan for the music chears.
	🎙 3:23pm _Ike_: Good to hear ya, JH!
	3:25pm Julian in LA: good set enjoying it
	3:26pm Royvis: Glad to have you back JH!
	3:26pm MikeG: Congratulations! A milestone!

	3:27pm listener james from westwood: Happy 200th!
	3:27pm Doobois: Congrats, JH! To the next 200!
	3:27pm mariano: Great minds, Crosby! Speaking of KC, I haven't been there since 1990 or so, but I really liked it the couple of times I went. Spiney Norman's still there? I used to live in Omaha and bought my music at Drastic Plastic, which is (was?) owned by the same guy.
	3:28pm Rich in Washington: I recently watched Testament again.
	3:29pm The Oscar: I watched an old Siskel & Ebert where they did a spotlight on The Man Who Saw Tomorrow, which I guess had a wave of popularity at rental stores when one of its prophecies seemed to come true. They seemed kind of baffled by the whole thing.
	🎙 3:29pm ike̶̬̕: Hoo boy, I was already terrified enough of nukes when I was little in the 80s -- I'm glad I never saw that Orson Welles thing (or stumbled across The Day After), that would have made it much worse.
	3:31pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi
	3:32pm Gnomon: Hey glad to hear you here Johnathan. It’s morning for me and I always like waking up to your show.
	3:32pm Hughie Considine: Scary songs just stick with you. Mine was Dean Gitter's "Skin & Bones" -- terrifying stuff, like a Shirley Jackson story set to music.
	3:32pm headcleaner: There's no bunch of folks I'd rather pull out a lawn chair + await the inevitable shower of hypersonic nuclear-tipped cruise missiles with than all of youse, right now
	3:33pm Crosby in KC: @mariano..Spiney Norman's...I'm not familiar with it. I moved here in 1992 so I may have missed it. There was Needmore Discs, which was great and the Music Exchange and Penny Lane (which was pretty mainstream) when I got here. Lots of new vinyl places have been popping up in the last 5-10 years
	3:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Ike .. heh! The Day After was the TV event of a lifetime, at the time. Screwed a whole generation's (mine) brains into a vortex of anxiety for life. Opioid crisis? I have a theory.
	3:34pm Eric the Hat: Wow. This Brad Mehldau is sick.
	3:34pm ?: Love this show
	3:35pm Eric the Hat: Thanks and Happy Thorsday to you Mr. Herweg
	3:35pm Lixiviated Life: Random Statement of the Day: i've been re-watching Blade Runner 2049 and i find it fascinating.
	3:36pm brainiac: Was out of the room at the start Brad Mehldau and thought I was missing a new WING track.
	3:37pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Hi “It’s much better to die of hunger unhindered by grief and fear than to live affluently beset with worry, dread, suspicion, and unchecked desire.” — The Classical Mannual on Virtue, Happiness, and Effectiveness by Epictetus. Modern Translation -Sharon Lebell
	3:38pm headcleaner: So now I understand what all those slightly older and bigger kids, doing bong hits, listening to Tom Sawyer shortly after it came out, were tuning into
	3:38pm tinyass: did anybody ever see "threads"
	3:39pm tinyass: it's like the british "day after" just so terrifying
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + DasHerweg +
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DayAfter leads to OpiodCrisis ...had someone suggest the hysteria of hallucinated GreyAliens was subconscious reaction to the imagery & reality of the Holocaust ...I laughed ...but waitaminnit ...speaking of dying of hunger & fear...
	3:46pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, The Day After messed me up as a kid. tinyass, I think that Creamo might have incorporated some audio from Threads into his early-pandemic sound wallops. See his premium this year! Rev Rab! Damn it, I owe you that piece of mail still. Sorry, it's been a mess here.
	3:46pm luka: LOOOOOOU
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Handy: Mess is something I unnnerstan. Damn but Lou deliver with just an acoustic.
	3:48pm Handy Haversack: "Fade!"
	3:49pm Crosby in KC: The Day After was terrifying at the time. I wonder if it still holds up?
	3:49pm HyperDose: It was the film of Ray Bradbury's All Summer in a Day for me, Handy. That poor kid!
	🎙 3:50pm ike̶̬̕: @Crosby, I saw it (for the first time) as an adult several years ago on Syfy (ugh) when I still had cable. Absolutely chilling.
	3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: War is the Opposite of Civilization ...Nukes are the Opposite of Everything... Yerknow - we ♏︎Scorpios love tripping on Apocalypse & all that funkystuff...
	3:53pm Miss G: Could only tune in a minute but so enjoyed that Lou Reed. Had to put in a plug for graphic novel from UK Raymond Briggs "When the Wind Blows" (did it become a film?) Oddly for me, the same man who did "The Snowman" which I watched a zillion times when my nieces/nephew were little.
	3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean - if you can read 'Hiroshima' by John Hersey & still think Homo sapiens doesn't have some serious kind of problem to consider these things strategically - it's something I can't account for ...w/out the obligatory exposition of how the A-Bomb compares to the H-Bomb - &tc. ...
	3:53pm PaulRobeson1920: That reminds me
	3:54pm PaulRobeson1920: Oppenheimer wrote that everyone should read “Hiroshima Diary” 1955 UNC press
	3:54pm manana: This is really nice
	3:54pm Miss G: Or yes, RRN63, <Black Rain (黒い雨, Kuroi ame) is a 1989 Japanese drama film by director Shōhei Imamura, based on the novel of the same name by Masuji Ibuse.> Saw it at the NYFF. Hard to find now. Devastating.
	3:55pm Miss G: Robert Haigh very nice to hear after the tornado went by 2 PM
	3:58pm Crosby in KC: @ike̶̬̕: I'll have to see it again, given the potential renewed cold war ...sheesh!
	3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in the context of yer BuckyFullers & TerenceMcKennas & DavidLynches & all who make the point we could feed & clothe & house & educate every soul on the planet - we've arrived @ a the point in Human History it could finally be done ! ...If that really was what our actual Values were ...it should be PartyTime on PlanetEarth. But no.
	3:59pm PaulRobeson1920: uncpress.org... Hiroshima Diary The Journal of a Japanese Physician, August 6-September 30, 1945 By Michihiko Hachiya, M.D. Michihiko Haciya was the director of the communications hospital, when the bomb fell he was at home… never intended to publishing his diary…Oppenheimer is adamant…He WANTS U to READ THE DIARY
	4:01pm PaulRobeson1920: Please Forgive the typos There are stories in there that every school child the world over should know by heart
	4:01pm Robm: Fellow listeners if you ever want to be really depressed watch on the beach that will really make so
	4:02pm Handy Haversack: SUBDIVISIONS
	4:02pm PaulRobeson1920: Stories about children. To draw lessons from
	4:02pm HyperDose: I have a sample dump folder too. Usually wait until it hits a couple hundred files before I bother to sort through it.
	4:02pm luka: i also blew it re: Rush
	4:03pm Andres: Go see/play Primus playing Rush.
	4:03pm Handy Haversack: Same. And Leonard Cohen.
	4:03pm PaulRobeson1920: Turn off the moving image for good. & free time will find you
	4:03pm luka: what Andres said, i saw Primus in Oct. and they killed.
	4:04pm mariano: SUBDIVISIONS
	4:04pm ?: Play Rush. Just do it. Play The Anarchist off their last album.
	🎙 4:05pm ike̶̬̕: OMG Bixby Incredible Hulk sad piano music!!!
	4:06pm Handy Haversack: "Bury me in torn purple pants ..."
	4:06pm P-90: “Fabweg” today? I’m in!
	4:07pm PaulRobeson1920: no eye lids, no shade, no water, no lips, still alive
	🎙 4:07pm JtotheK: Thanks for the Jason W. track - he has a radio program on local community radio, classical music/chamber music.
	🎙 4:07pm ike̶̬̕: That was my favorite show when I was a little kid. A lot of those Bixby IH episodes don't hold up AT ALL, but the one that's a rip-off of "The Most Dangerous Game" is still good! (Every 70s-80s action show did a rip-off of that.)
	4:09pm TDK60: Hi Jonathan.
	4:10pm YETI BOB: This is a long way from Ravenstine's synth work with Pere Ubu. Interesting. Thanks Jonathan.
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think of NeilPeart as the other end of some spectrum as KeithMoon (whom Peart praised btw) - all Technique as opposed to Expression. But what Technique ! ...& yerknow - one (maybe not you) tends to think these Artists worked up to such a standard on one day & made a record. But no - RoyOrbison - for instance - sang like that every stinkin' night of his life...
	4:12pm Meesalikeu: ahello cleveland its alan ravenstine … pere ubu’s guy … i applaud your excellent taste mr dj
	4:16pm P-90: @Ike: the 2-hour pilot movie for the Bixby Hulk series is the real gem there (imho), the rest is very uneven.
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (>L< )))
	4:17pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Jonathan and all!!!
	🎙 4:20pm ike̶̬̕: @P-90, agreed, saw the pilot movie for the first time several years ago and it was great! Some of the other TV-movies/two-parters are interesting too, particularly the very weird one where he's stuck in the middle of a transformation and gets captured by the military, though unfortunately it fizzles out at the end.
	🎙 4:21pm Flint_Jack: Hey Jonathan, really enjoying the music
	4:21pm abbazabba: I thought this was Pigpen from the Dead singing at first
	🎙 4:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jonathan. Happy bicentennial! 💯💯
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Owned now by Disney - but Marvel characters endure because they're that good. Created primarily by JackKirby & not so much StanLee as people think... TheHulk : How to fight an enemy who gets stronger the madder he becomes ?? I love asking little boys into the superheroes what they think about that ...the Kirby work was as relevant as SciFi novelists...
	4:27pm Carmichael: Heya Jonathan and waxing philosophers. Fabio is no doubt observing the Cesar Chavez holiday like all of un California.
	4:28pm mr 6: Jonathan welcome back
	4:28pm Miss G: Good song by McDaniels to listen to as I attempt to figure out the VA budget and whether the Veteran Farmer Training where my niece works was/will be funded. . .I mean, that is a _readymade._
	4:28pm Carmichael: *us in
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not to mention poor CaptainAmerica - literally frozen in WWII & thawed out into the 1960s...
	4:33pm HyperDose: Imagine that culture shock, RRN63!
	4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - as yer DC heroes - Superman Batman WonderWoman are WWII era archetypes - & Marvel was 1960s...
	4:35pm dale: will smith should be kicked out of sag. hey now - great music.
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1920: America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor…..They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1920: 1969
	4:36pm Handy Haversack: Carmichael, I was already dreaming about unCalifornia, where the laborers won and the intentional communities flourished in the orange groves and there was water where water was meant to be. It sounds like a nice place!
	4:36pm Noel: Chris Rock is a grown man.
	4:36pm Meesalikeu: ‘they’ say the oscars slap incident was likely faked - who knows tho or cares really?
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like Campbell saying the Myths are enacted now on StreetCorners - that's Marvel, which focused a lot on NYC... 'You think it's about Freedom - but it's not. It's about Money. If you don't think so - try going anywhere without Money.' - BillHicks Scripted ? By Actors ? @ a popularly flagging TV ceremony ? Well - it's Scripted now...
	4:38pm brainiac: Handy, exchange oranges for tomatoes and you've got Sacramento. Happy Cesar Chavez Day, everyone.
	4:38pm TDK60: Carmichael, I do recall boycotting grapes and lettuce in support of the United Farm Workers union.
	4:38pm PaulRobeson1920: Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves. Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five 1969 Have you read Hiroshima Diary, Yet? Oppenheimer WANTS YOU
	4:39pm Carmichael: Hollywood isn’t real, so anything that happens there isn’t either.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Everybody on TV is Upper Middle Class like it's still the white 1950s ...& that's a slap in the face awlright...
	4:41pm TDK60: Paul Robeson, been down to Bryant Park lately?
	4:42pm egould310: Stuck in a railyard in Kalama, WA. Slowly the train goes back and forth. Will traffic ever move again? Will I get to my destination? This show is all that is keeping me from going insane. Thank you.
	4:42pm HyperDose: I'm boycotting Russian dressing for a while. Gotta do your part 🦅🇺🇸
	4:42pm PaulRobeson1920: @TDK: Hey man. Yes, on Monday. Bitterly cold day
	4:42pm desi: yes! sounds gr8 here in live oak. fl
	4:43pm Crosby in KC: Byrd always sounds so effortless. Like his fingers and breath just know what to do before his brain does.
	4:44pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: egould310 that puts me in mind of One Toke Over the Line
	4:44pm Mike W: Chris Rock is a dick. “I hope this is right,” said Rock. “Ahmir Thompson and four white guys.” Was he in shock from getting slapped? Maybe, but, he used the same shitty joke the night before. www.nbcnews.com... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/indian-american-filmmaker-slams-chris-rock-calling-white-guy-oscars-rcna22437
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: “This country has socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poor.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, 1968 Now after more than a Half Century of calling us pinko commie sympathizers - the Crypto Far Right is licking Putin's backside...
	4:45pm PaulRobeson1920: The Pigeons in Bryant Park are plump! Some of the Biggest pigeons in the city. They had their heads tucked in it was so cold & windy
	4:47pm TDK60: Yes, I'd been out walking in that cold, Paul. In Fort Tryon Park.
	4:47pm Andres: Goes back to earlier talk of The Incredible Hulk tv show. Just focusing on this part, “Banner lives a nomadic life, traveling from town to town in search of a cure and helping people where he can.” - from ‘pedia. Hard to imagine that being accepted as a plausible scenario these days. At least the Littlest Hobo was cute so it was tougher to ignore him.
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BruceBanner is a supergenius DoctorScientist - & the Hulk the purest Id... Great. None of Frankenstein's confusion of which is Doctor & which is Monster... Metaphysician & Golem...
	4:51pm rx scabin: Good evening. Dinner is cooking. The grandchildren etc are here.
	4:52pm Toby Core: Glad to hear you mixing it up on FMU Jon
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am become Death the Destroyer of Worlds.
	4:53pm Rich in Washington: I always found Incredible Hulk the TV show weird as a kid. Banner/Bixby's character always ended up in these implausible scenarios where someone would inflict pain on him so he could turn into the Hulk. It seemed like he liked getting hurt, as he was always roaming around and getting himself into these situations. They should've explored the weird psycho aspect of that.
	4:54pm PaulRobeson1920: Not many people out on Monday, the wind took all the heat from you
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh it's all about Schizophrenia there.
	4:55pm egould310: How come when he “hulks out” all of his clothes rip off; except his pants?
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well, that's Freudian...
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they do turn quite purple...
	4:56pm Andres: Ha! Never thought about the purple pants!
	🎙 4:57pm Jherweg: Oh man I miss Toby Core so much, he was my main homeboy! :(
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: It was the seventies, egould. Sans-a-Belt ruled us all.
	4:57pm PaulRobeson1920: @egould310: because the women and children, egould. Who will protect the women and children?
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...any creative can gainfully retrocon that kinda stuff...
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: Goblin, Jonathan's playing your song! Jonathan, please play "A Bugbear, a Bugbear" next so that the kittens don't get jealous of each other.
	4:59pm DjLorraine: Good evening. That remends me of the Kung Fu series in the 70's. The gentle pacificist always had to Fu up the bad guys.
	5:00pm Miss G: Did "Red Sonja" ever have a show? That was the comic I read. ;-)
	5:01pm pollypinocle: Great show! Thank you!
	5:01pm Handy Haversack: There was a movie, Miss G. In the eighties.
	5:02pm dale: you hulk fans, benny hulk is HI-larious! www.dailymotion.com...
	5:03pm Miss G: Thank you HH but I guess I'll just live with my memories. I loved her outfit, her hair, and the tagline "She Devil With A Sword." The action part would put me to sleep.
	5:04pm pollypinocle: Purple and green are complimentary colors, but of course!
	5:04pm Rich in Washington: The first ever time I did late night radio my car got towed! It took me hours and hours and hundreds of dollars to get it sorted out.
	5:04pm desi: Hmmm true pollypinocle fashionably late
	5:05pm pollypinocle: You could tell that the Hulk worked very hard on his whole ensemble. Always ripped in all the right places, like a Hot Topic tee!
	5:06pm rx scabin: To warn you that he is the Hulk. There are lots of other angry people.
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: I think the comic was the best iteration of the Red Sonja character, Miss G -- you're better off!
	5:07pm Crosby in KC: Miss G, the film had Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger so.....y'know.
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MissG: FrankThorne had a particular gift for portraying not unattractive womenz. I had noticed that... Yeah Handy - they'd haft Animate her in that style to make it...
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rawk rhythms driving into the Earth & Spacey sounds go together like Green & Purple.
	5:12pm Andres: Also, the Ang Lee / Eric Bana “Hulk” (2003) was the best at a nuanced exploration of the character on film. I think it was well before the conception of the MCU / Avengers through line so it was able to be its own thing.
	5:12pm fred: It must be my lucky day: I come back from a good dance show, and Jonathan is on the air! (I expect payback tomorrow)
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Andres: & naturally - considered a relative financial flop...
	5:14pm Miss G: Yes, agreed on Frank Thorne, I wasn't remembering his name. I mean, the women in comics at that time were, you know, over the top (emphasis on top) but when I do an image search, in later years the illustration is just nutso.
	5:16pm lazy rider: Just reading back here, I picked up a copy from WFMU on eBay of "Nobody Loves The Hulk" by The Traits a while back. What a great song. Mysterious label too, Queens City Records. Great track!
	5:17pm Andres: RevRab: Yes. A failure only by that absurd measure.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Hulk's girlfriend - his Anima - BettyRoss - essentially BetsyRoss the creator of the AmericanFlag..
	5:20pm egould310: Well I’m out of the railyard. Made it to my destination. Downed a vodka soda and a hummus plate. Took a pee. And now it’s back on the road to Seattle. Bring me home safely, Jonathan.
	5:25pm Miss G: Just remembered, there was a "Teen Hulk" in Crazy Magazine circa 1980. Funny to type that as such sublime sounds are playing.
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...all we care about is Sax & Violins...
	5:26pm Fredericks: Bone Prisms makes me think of some of Alice Coltrane's work.
	5:27pm jameson 57: Is Elle Fanning any relation to Eli Manning?
	5:37pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, everyone. It's waaaaaay after five, local time.
	5:37pm Miss G: Aww, I love Gabor Szabo. And Cheers, HH.
	5:38pm abbazabba: Been listening since the beginning, but have to go now. Thank you for the awesome show today, Jonathan. I always get excited when I see you're doing a show
	5:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This talk of the 1970s Hulk series makes me realize ... All those shows from that time explain why I never went into a "bar" until I was in my 20s. Always seemed like you'd immediately be hassled by a character-actor in a denim vest & thrown against the mirrored wall behind the bar.
	🎙 5:39pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: What Abbazabba said.
	🎙 5:39pm Jherweg: Gamma rays turn pants purple , everyone knows that!!
	5:40pm Handy Haversack: Did experience bear that out once you went through the swinging saloon doors, Rev.?
	5:40pm :): Such a awesome set, so happy to hear you on the radio today, you belong on the air all the time!!! 💞
	5:41pm Miss G: ha, Rev. Turnip Druid. Peaceful thoughts going out to the descendants of the old men in the bars I used to go to in the EV. . .
	5:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sadly, no, HH .. And then in the intervening years, "gastropubs" happened and now the character-actors in denim vests & mutton-chop sideburns are left in the cold, poor dears.
	5:42pm fred: @Handy: I think the vegetable clergy later got the hint and bought a denim vest
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just rewatched 'There But For Fortune' about PhilOchs ...posited that altho' he's the Greatest LeftWing Political Songwriter - he had gone to Military School & had John Wayne in his heart...
	5:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: suddenly feeling like i absolutely need a denim vest.
	5:43pm Andres: In an episode of Twin Peaks: The Return, Sarah Palmer went into a bar and literally almost bit the head off a guy that was hassling her. So yes, enjoy your beverages at home. Cheers!
	5:44pm PaulRobeson1920: Ah, Phil Ochs
	5:44pm Old Dave: respect the accordian
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...is why we pretend to have 'Pubs' in the U.S. now ...they're really gentrified family friendly corporate digital TV sportsbars...
	5:45pm Handy Haversack: Denim vests all around!
	5:46pm Dave in Vermont on the phone: Pauline Oliveros
	5:46pm PaulRobeson1920: @Rev Rabbit: You know Phil Ochs loves Paul. They died in the same year
	5:47pm Handy Haversack: Even the punk bars are charging $9 for pints around here, Rev Rab.
	5:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: There's at least one classic 1970s-era ride-up open-front biker bar around here (baltimore). Gonna give it a shot, once the denim vest is in place. No time to grow the muttons, alas...
	5:48pm Miss G: White Fence = Tim Presley = DRINKS. I love being the secretary.
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ * BICENTENNIAL HERWEG * ~
	5:49pm wolfette: well this show was great! Happy 200!!
	5:49pm chresti: Haha Fabio withdrawal
	5:49pm fred: For some reason, "gastropub" always reminds me of "gastropod". Doesn't make it more appealing
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: fred, transitively, I think we can now just call them "pseudopods."
	5:50pm squidbeak: Had a great night listening at work, cheers everyone 👍
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great recent interview w/ Lee Renaldo & Steve Shelley reflecting on many aspects of the SY scene : podcasts.apple.com...
	5:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: we must not deny a mollusc his or her well-deserved booze!
	5:51pm VincentNifigance: So happy to hear you Jonathan.
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pseudopubz...
	5:52pm Jay k: 🤘🏼
	5:52pm Andres: Handy, $9 pints?! Add “violence to your wallet” to the list of threats right below “denim vested character actors”.
	5:52pm Handy Haversack: And those snails look so cute in their denim vests.
	5:53pm Kafuka: I’m happy you are here again. We all miss you.
	5:54pm fred: @Handy: Many years ago, a guy had a paladin character with pseudopods for eyes (also a gaseous houri, the guy eventually got a PhD in pure mathematics, made sense)
	5:54pm Miss G: I liked those albums SY1, SY2, etc. Well OK! Wow, so glad I could stick around and still get things done. Thank you so much Jonathan Herweg, I already shared around the Eugene McDaniels. Congrats on your 200th show!
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: I am totally on board, fred. (Except the paladin part, honestly. We have found they don't quite fit with player morals, let alone character morals! At some point I'll stop being lazy and just write up a "religious fanatic fighter" class and make the break with the TSR-inflected Jehovah's Witness paladin complete.)
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bitchen show for sure. ~ TY Always DJ JH ~
	5:57pm Handy Haversack: Oh, crap, and many thanks, Jonathan! So glad to hear you and be here for show 200! Congrats! Stay blurry and obscurey, everyone!
	5:57pm YETI BOB: :ZOVIET*FRANCE:
	5:58pm Crosby in KC: Thanks for the excellent show today, Jonathan! Everyone have a lovely weekend!
	5:58pm bleubombersune: JH thanks for the fantastic music
	5:58pm Andres: Great 200th show! Thanks, Johnathan!
	5:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: perfect ending, this.
	5:58pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank Uuu. Good show, Johnathan
	5:59pm Old Dave: Pint of Yuengling Premium costs exactly $0.97166667 with tax here in Pennsylvania. Of course, you have to haul it to your destination and open the container yourself among those you wish to imbibe among. I don't have a pub license, though... and that is making the world safer for all concerned.
	5:59pm fred: Thanks Jonathan! Please consider coming back to a regular show
	5:59pm YETI BOB: Trippiest music ever...
	5:59pm Niall: Ah, :Z*F:, I love you.
	5:59pm brainiac: I could spend the rest of your life listening to Zoviet France after I won the lottery. Thank you, Jonathan
	6:00pm Old Dave: Great show!
	6:00pm chresti: Thanks Jonathan!
	11:13pm JakeGould: Sorry to have missed this live! Will catch it in the archives.
