	12:33pm Carmichael: Heya Monica and chicken pickers.
	12:33pm Phillippe: I'm sure Nimoy was doing something in his grave when that was playing. Probably trying to write lyrics

	12:34pm chris in the redwoods: happy birthday, Carm!
	12:37pm patrick321: Hey Monica — always a happy surprise!
	12:37pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hi Monica. A sandwich at Bagel Girls in Chester NY went from 13.99 to 29.99 in one year
	12:38pm Parq: Inflation? Well, after years of telling people that the Union Square Farmers Market is not ridiculously expensive, I find that it suddenly is.
	12:38pm Baja Joe: Inflation is 2 soups, 1 entrée & fried rice=$55.00
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, happy belated birthday eve, Carmichael! Get them torches LIT!
	12:38pm efd: I'm pretty sure I bought a copy of this Eleventh Hour LP from you at a WFMU record fair of old, Monica!
	12:39pm TimSF: How lucky I am to have my favorite DJ Monica on the radio; it is my birthday today and I am very happy. Thank you Monica for such great music. I bet I'll hear some music from the '70s, my coming of age decade.
	12:39pm Parq: But mainly what's made an impression on me is how everyone's talking about inflation. I keep expecting Jerry Ford to pop out and hand me a WIN button.
	12:39pm chris in the redwoods: happy birthday, Tim. party from SF to Sacto! let's go!
	12:40pm iLikedWaterworld: ... yet AirZona tea is still a cool 0.99
	12:40pm MarciB: Hi Monica -what a lovely surprise to hear you today! I'm here in Sunnyside Gardens (maybe you know the hood ;) - and all food at the local grocery stores seem to be a minimum of $7+. Jar of mustard? $7. Carton of nut milk? $7 Brick of organic cheese? $7. And so on...
	12:41pm Monica: welcome, patrick321, Danny in Poughkeepsie, TimSF, iLikedWaterworld, and MarciB! EFD - what a score - a Bob Crewe classic!
	12:41pm Phillippe: Happy birthday Carm and TimSF! For me, inflation is a dozen worms going from $3.49 to $4.99. (I don't get out much)
	12:42pm Carmichael: We share birthdays, Tim? Cool! But boo hoo for me, today is my "Medicare" birthday ... 😭😞
	12:42pm TimSF: Thank you Chris in the redwoods. Yes, party in cali
	12:42pm Carmichael: The Sevendollartree.
	12:44pm Monica: hey ho and HBD to Carmichael and TimSF!
	12:45pm Picante Mint: Inflation for me is a very very confusing fetish.
	12:47pm DjLorraine: Going swimmingly! Lift off
	12:48pm HyperDose: Happy Birthdays to Tim and Carm!
	12:49pm TimSF: Yes Carmichael, we share birthdays (I remember from previous listener comment years.) Maybe not the year though. I'll be listening to the Beatles' When I'm Sixty-Four (on vinyl because today is National Vinyl Record Day)
	12:56pm Listener Robert: Are any Bodenheim contractual obligation anmts coming? I'm listening to Uncle Michael in the meantime.
	12:57pm Listener Robert: My ears can be in only one place at a time.
	12:58pm mark couture: Hi everyone. Monica, enjoying the show!
	1:00pm Listener Robert: When is National SHELLAC Record Day?
	1:02pm phooky: AAA Avocados on Chrystie St. is your best avocado value. They sell one thing.
	1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Teller - model for Dr.Strangelove no less.
	1:03pm Katy_bar_the_door: Buy gold (and silver), kids, it's the 1970s all over again.
	1:04pm chris in the redwoods: foodflation for sure
	1:04pm patrick321: Prices at the Jersey City Acme have always been a bit higher but I've definitely seen the "everyone will blame inflation" markup effect in the past few weeks.
	1:06pm Monica: howdy, Katy_bar_the_door, phooky, Listener Robert, and mark couture!
	1:07pm Stanley: Nice to see/hear you again, Monica. Hope you are doing well.
	1:08pm Monica: hi stanley - right back atcha!
	1:08pm Carmichael: The price of tacos have gone through the roof!
	1:08pm Cooh John: Gene Krantz from Toledo.
	1:09pm Monica: oh hi, cooh john!
	1:09pm TimSF: Thank you for the great humor listeners: Sevendollar Tree, Shellac day and AAA Avocado (would that be like a scotch tape store?)
	1:09pm Yes: Hi friends
	1:10pm Hubig Pie: Don't get me started on the price of a jar o' mayo....
	1:10pm Handy Haversack: You want a deal on tacos, Carmichael? I got a guy.
	1:10pm Monica: hello, Yes!
	1:14pm Stanley: Was that Chico Marx in disguise?
	1:15pm Passaic River Blues: Thank God for Ms. Monica.
	1:20pm Monica: many thx, Passaic River Blues!

	1:30pm efd: so great
	1:30pm Monica: indeed, olivia + efd:)
	1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sure that Daniel Johnston shoulda fronted BlackSabbath - but this is pretty great too...
	1:30pm Hubig Pie: It's bike week in my neighborhood and my head's about to pop.
	1:30pm eric from lake hiawatha: Thank you for Daniel Johnston
	1:31pm Passaic River Blues: Seconding Stanley: dope set capped by a magical collab!
	1:32pm joe mulligan: I bought the Speeding Motorcycle 45 back in 1990 but ironically didn't discover wfmu until I moved to New Jeresy in 2004. If only I read the fine print on the label!
	1:33pm Joe McG: Hey Monica, the Daniel Johnston/YLT was definitely recorded at FMU. I believe on Nick Hill's show!
	1:33pm efd: "Speeding Motorcycle" was indeed recorded at WFMU, on Nick Hill's Music Faucet show. Here's the backstory and the rest of Daniel's appearance on that show: blog.wfmu.org...
	1:34pm Miss G: What a great set to have blasting in the car, only 80deg out, windows open, blue sky white puffy clouds, that Ìxtahuele is great, I have that double LP! Thank you DJ Monica!
	1:34pm Baja Joe: www.discogs.com...
	👻 1:35pm captain beef fart: This has been a great show for winding down the work week and packing for vacay. Thanks!
	1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Toast Ye All with the DeathWish Coffeez ~
	1:37pm efd: here is a "gift link" to that NYT pedal steel article, which can be accessed by non-subscribers. (The price you pay is the 10-mile long url.) www.nytimes.com...
	1:37pm βrian: Yes, I'm on the cusp of vacation, too. Heading north to hear the loons.
	1:38pm Bob from poughkeepsie: Hi Monica love your show.love speeding motorcycle.awesome song as the other songs you played
	1:39pm SamTheRam: Digging the mix Monica!
	1:39pm βrian: Dearie me!
	1:40pm joe mulligan: whenever I hear Blossom Dearie and it's not schoolhouse rock I feel like a grownup
	1:41pm Miss G: Thank you for the pedal steel guitar article, efd!
	1:41pm Monica: Joe McG and EFD - thx for the clarification + backstory:)...thank YOU,Miss G, eric from lake hiawatha, joe mulligan, captain beef fart, hi Bob from poughkeepsie, and SamTheRam!
	1:42pm Parq: I've said plenty about Blossom Dearie on Monica's playlists, but oh, what a terrific version of "Surry" this is.
	1:44pm ?: Robert Randolph reminds me of 20+ years ago when I would see him play, listen to too many jam bands, and read everything that Jesse Jarnow would write
	👻 1:45pm captain beef fart: Cheers, βrian!
	1:46pm βrian: Good day. Say, is there such a thing as Buffet Music?
	1:47pm ?: @Brian Jimmy Buffet
	1:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Monica, chatboard chaps / chapelles / chapettes / chappuccinos, etc.
	1:48pm Monica: EFD - thx so much for the "gift" link, love that featue:)...? - reading jesse jarnow is a smart move:)...
	1:48pm βrian: Nay. Music whose raison d'être is to accompany slow-moving diners at a buffet.
	1:48pm Phillippe: This Lisa Germano is so nice
	1:49pm ?: @Brian Wasting Away at the Salad Bar
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SingerSongwriter who condescended to be in our basement band where I am had been LisaGermano's Bass player on the road for a bit - but I'm basically ignorant of her work. :D So I always appreciate it being played ...small strange world that this is.
	1:53pm eric from lake hiawatha: Robert Randolph into Blossom Dearie, brilliant
	1:53pm Monica: Yo, Ken From Hyde Park!
	1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aretha open mouth. Thing happen.
	1:56pm Handy Haversack: Missed Blossom Dearie and way too much else while cleaning up outside. Crap damn it.
	1:56pm Hubig Pie: Originally sung by Sir Lancelot
	1:57pm Miss G: L I was well into adulthood before I knew that "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen" wasn't "By me Mr. Shane."
	1:57pm love2laf: I've given up. There is no way to keep working with this kind of music going on, and I refuse to wait until it's available in the archives. Working is keeping me from clicky hearting. Thanks Monica!
	1:58pm Parq: Monica, this set is sensational!
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always loved that - Lerner & Loewe.
	2:00pm Passaic River Blues: Vibin' hard to the bed music.
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: Is anyone local having trouble with the 91.1 broadcast? Our normally reliable bathroom boombox has static.
	2:03pm Phillippe: Take it out of the tub and check the sound again, Handy
	2:03pm Passaic River Blues: Seems like it was a Gopnik joint: www.newyorker.com...
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: But it's still dirty, Phillippe!
	2:04pm Phillippe: So it's probably the bubbles causing the problem. Let it dry out, it'll be fine
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: BYO JAZZ jar.
	2:05pm Monica: Passaic River Blues - that's it! Adam Gopnik:) thx.
	2:07pm Hubig Pie: A dirty boombox has serious street cred. Do not wash the boombox
	2:10pm TimSF: wow Phillippe, you are really funny. You 2 Hubig
	2:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: May the RoboFours Be With You
	2:12pm Hubig Pie: @TimSF, I'll be here all week...
	2:12pm TimSF: Handy, so you save it in a jar?
	2:13pm Handy Haversack: The contents of the JAZZ jar are unknowable.
	2:16pm Gaylord Fields: Monica, I may be late to the party, but I'm gobbling up the hors d'oeuvres as fast as you're serving them! <3
	2:16pm chris in the redwoods: hell yeah
	2:17pm TimSF: Handy, your comments are sometimes ajar.
	2:17pm Monica: awww, gaylord!!! your ears musta been burning, gave you a shoutout earlier:)
	2:18pm Phillippe: TimSF my wife and kids tell me I'm funny too, usually dripping with sarcasm. I'm used to it.
	2:19pm Phillippe: Oooh, this Moon King <3 <3 <3
	2:19pm Gaylord Fields: So that's why I was feeling out of sync before but am on a cloud now that I'm here! Either that, or the music — but probably both. :)
	2:20pm Monica: xxoo, G!
	2:21pm TimSF: Phillippe, at least they're not telling you you're funny (looking)
	2:23pm Phillippe: Oh, I get that too...
	2:24pm prof.fuzz: i once witnessed a five year old in a shouting match with my then-girlfriend's car. The car kept saying "A door is ajar," and the five year old yelled back, repeatedly, "NO! A door is a door. A door is NOT A JAR!"
	2:24pm abbazabba: Woah, that synth is so cool!
	2:24pm duluoz: This Daphni track...big jams
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: If it were a JAZZ jar, you never know.
	2:26pm Carmichael: Just sit quietly and watch the jazz in the jar.
	2:26pm Monica: hey there, prof.fuzz, abbazabba, and duluoz!
	2:26pm Carmichael: Didn't Thin Lizzy play Jazz in The Jar?
	2:27pm TimSF: prof.fuzz: I adoor your story
	2:27pm eric from lake hiawatha: @efd thanks for the pedal steel guitar link
	2:27pm Carmichael: This sounds vaguely like that song the nerds did at the fair in Revenge of the Nerds.
	2:31pm Carmichael: The KH song, I meant.
	2:34pm Passaic River Blues: Pretty cool how Monica's mining disparate grooves (contemporary hip-house queendom by MTS, KH's updated poppy skittering melodic garage, Bando el Recodo's speed ranchera, and this late, high velocity krautrocky thing) ALL IN SERVICE OF THE UNIVERSAL GROOVE!
	2:36pm prof.fuzz: Hey monica! handy! @TimSF: the kid was way more adoor-able than the gf... the car was hot though.
	2:36pm _Ike_: Sunnyside sounds awesome. Haven't been over there lately. Really love Thailand's Center Point in Woodside, fantastic little restaurant.
	2:36pm Zach from Hackensack: stop telling people about Queens!! they're gonna ruin it :(
	2:36pm dmartnewmexico: Monica!! Love your train of thought. I always tune in when you’re hosting ❤️
	2:38pm Passaic River Blues: @Ike: Yes, man! Shouts to everyone serving up delish Thai eats on 39th Avenue!
	2:40pm Monica: hola, _Ike_, Zach from Hackensack, dmartnewmexico!!!
	2:42pm Steve L: Sun-swept flamingos must sleep
	2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Good Thai food ! The best ?
	2:43pm BLCKDGRD: Roxy forever, thanks!
	2:43pm Laura L: Hi Monica, working but listening... thanks for Sunset--one of my top favorite Roxy Music songs. Happy Friday!
	2:43pm Baja Joe: Not that this radio station doesn't continually impress, but, Faye, and now you Monica, 2 DJ's I am only recently coming to know, are amazingly talented at tune and sound selections. Makes me glad to be stuck at home nursing my COVID stricken self. Thanks for the great stuff. Always learning, am I.
	2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Eno Weird & Ferry Romantic was a good combination.
	2:44pm Monica: Steve L !!!! xxooo.... hello and thx, BLCKDGRD + Laura L. Msny thx, Baja Joe!
	2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <+> WELLNESS <+> ~ Baja Joe ~ & Everyone.
	👻 2:46pm captain beef fart: I once asked The Duane Train, "Who is your favorite WFMU dj besides you"? He said he couldn't possibly try to answer then alluded to trying not to miss any of Monica's shows. I went to the archives then have been looking forward to Monica filling in ever since.
	2:46pm Tom from Stirling: Oko! Just in time for Roxy. Savin' the best for last.
	2:46pm Miss G: sniff had to step away but back to hear Roxy Forever! (& get better soon Baja Joe!)
	2:47pm Monica: Many thx to everyone for coming thru today - it's been a blast. Irwin will be back next week! Buzzsaw with Lil Stranger will be in for Sheila at 6.
	2:47pm dale: had my ears on the last hour. good sounds monica.
	2:50pm Baja Joe: @ Miss G & Revolution, I'm being well medicated by the good doctors of sound at WFMU. Tx.
	2:50pm Tom from Stirling: Goin' to Fun City cause it's two to one. Goin' to Fun City cause it's two to one....
	2:50pm Monica: Tom from Stirling and Dale - great to have you here:)
	2:51pm Passaic River Blues: Big ups, Lindsay-era Fun City! Big ups, Ma, Queen of Kingsbridge!
	2:51pm Peter v: Midnight cowboy?

	2:52pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Monica! always a massive pleasure to listen. :)
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks so much, Monica! This was great. I just wish the terrestrial radios were cooperating in here so I never missed a minute! Later on, Monicans!
	2:53pm bil OHara: such a pleasure monica from sunnyside

	12:11pm Monica: MikeG - she's in a whirl, BillyLundun - me too, Picante Mint - yes!!... no worries, charlie, I've been called worse:)
	12:11pm love2laf: Friday's a very busy work day, but the music is making it so much better. First a great 3 hours of Faye, and now Monica is filling in and already setting the speakers on fire!
	12:12pm Howard & the Cats: Yay yay yay Monica!!! :D
	12:12pm DjLorraine: I'm a Monican.
	12:13pm Monica: hey there and thx, love2laf, Howard & the Cats, and DjLorraine!
	12:15pm JtotheK: Hiya Monica, hi everyone. Enjoyed that Duke Phantom. I’ve a few Pearson LPs but that one has proven to be elusive!
	12:15pm Phillippe: Yay, Monica! I heard Irwin was going to be out and that brought me down. Then I heard Monica is the fill-in and it brought me right back up!
	12:16pm Handy Haversack: Yo(-yo), Phillippe!
	12:17pm Monica: Hey there, JtotheK and Phillippe!
	12:19pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Monica. happy Friday, all.

	12:31pm Handy Haversack: Boldly goin'!
	12:32pm Cooh John: Nice Friday groove, Monica.
	12:32pm Parq: Where no guitar has gone before.
	12:33pm Picante Mint: Am I gonna have to click the star on every song this set?
	12:33pm Carmichael: Heya Monica and chicken pickers.
	12:33pm Phillippe: I'm sure Nimoy was doing something in his grave when that was playing. Probably trying to write lyrics
	12:34pm Handy Haversack: RIP, Nichelle Nichols!
	12:34pm chris in the redwoods: happy birthday, Carm!
	12:37pm patrick321: Hey Monica — always a happy surprise!
	12:37pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hi Monica. A sandwich at Bagel Girls in Chester NY went from 13.99 to 29.99 in one year
	12:38pm Parq: Inflation? Well, after years of telling people that the Union Square Farmers Market is not ridiculously expensive, I find that it suddenly is.
	12:38pm Baja Joe: Inflation is 2 soups, 1 entrée & fried rice=$55.00
	12:38pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, happy belated birthday eve, Carmichael! Get them torches LIT!
	12:38pm efd: I'm pretty sure I bought a copy of this Eleventh Hour LP from you at a WFMU record fair of old, Monica!
	12:39pm TimSF: How lucky I am to have my favorite DJ Monica on the radio; it is my birthday today and I am very happy. Thank you Monica for such great music. I bet I'll hear some music from the '70s, my coming of age decade.
	12:39pm Parq: But mainly what's made an impression on me is how everyone's talking about inflation. I keep expecting Jerry Ford to pop out and hand me a WIN button.
	12:39pm chris in the redwoods: happy birthday, Tim. party from SF to Sacto! let's go!
	12:40pm iLikedWaterworld: ... yet AirZona tea is still a cool 0.99
	12:40pm MarciB: Hi Monica -what a lovely surprise to hear you today! I'm here in Sunnyside Gardens (maybe you know the hood ;) - and all food at the local grocery stores seem to be a minimum of $7+. Jar of mustard? $7. Carton of nut milk? $7 Brick of organic cheese? $7. And so on...
	12:41pm Monica: welcome, patrick321, Danny in Poughkeepsie, TimSF, iLikedWaterworld, and MarciB! EFD - what a score - a Bob Crewe classic!
	12:41pm Phillippe: Happy birthday Carm and TimSF! For me, inflation is a dozen worms going from $3.49 to $4.99. (I don't get out much)
	12:42pm Carmichael: We share birthdays, Tim? Cool! But boo hoo for me, today is my "Medicare" birthday ... 😭😞
	12:42pm TimSF: Thank you Chris in the redwoods. Yes, party in cali
	12:42pm Carmichael: The Sevendollartree.
	12:44pm Monica: hey ho and HBD to Carmichael and TimSF!
	12:45pm Picante Mint: Inflation for me is a very very confusing fetish.
	12:47pm DjLorraine: Going swimmingly! Lift off
	12:48pm HyperDose: Happy Birthdays to Tim and Carm!
	12:49pm TimSF: Yes Carmichael, we share birthdays (I remember from previous listener comment years.) Maybe not the year though. I'll be listening to the Beatles' When I'm Sixty-Four (on vinyl because today is National Vinyl Record Day)
	12:56pm Listener Robert: Are any Bodenheim contractual obligation anmts coming? I'm listening to Uncle Michael in the meantime.
	12:57pm Listener Robert: My ears can be in only one place at a time.
	12:58pm mark couture: Hi everyone. Monica, enjoying the show!
	1:00pm Listener Robert: When is National SHELLAC Record Day?
	1:02pm phooky: AAA Avocados on Chrystie St. is your best avocado value. They sell one thing.
	1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Teller - model for Dr.Strangelove no less.
	1:03pm Katy_bar_the_door: Buy gold (and silver), kids, it's the 1970s all over again.
	1:04pm chris in the redwoods: foodflation for sure
	1:04pm patrick321: Prices at the Jersey City Acme have always been a bit higher but I've definitely seen the "everyone will blame inflation" markup effect in the past few weeks.
	1:06pm Monica: howdy, Katy_bar_the_door, phooky, Listener Robert, and mark couture!
	1:07pm Stanley: Nice to see/hear you again, Monica. Hope you are doing well.
	1:08pm Monica: hi stanley - right back atcha!
	1:08pm Carmichael: The price of tacos have gone through the roof!
	1:08pm Cooh John: Gene Krantz from Toledo.
	1:09pm Monica: oh hi, cooh john!
	1:09pm TimSF: Thank you for the great humor listeners: Sevendollar Tree, Shellac day and AAA Avocado (would that be like a scotch tape store?)
	1:09pm Yes: Hi friends
	1:10pm Hubig Pie: Don't get me started on the price of a jar o' mayo....
	1:10pm Handy Haversack: You want a deal on tacos, Carmichael? I got a guy.
	1:10pm Monica: hello, Yes!
	1:14pm Stanley: Was that Chico Marx in disguise?
	1:15pm Passaic River Blues: Thank God for Ms. Monica.

	1:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sure that Daniel Johnston shoulda fronted BlackSabbath - but this is pretty great too...
	1:30pm Hubig Pie: It's bike week in my neighborhood and my head's about to pop.
	1:30pm eric from lake hiawatha: Thank you for Daniel Johnston
	1:31pm Passaic River Blues: Seconding Stanley: dope set capped by a magical collab!
	1:32pm joe mulligan: I bought the Speeding Motorcycle 45 back in 1990 but ironically didn't discover wfmu until I moved to New Jeresy in 2004. If only I read the fine print on the label!
	1:33pm Joe McG: Hey Monica, the Daniel Johnston/YLT was definitely recorded at FMU. I believe on Nick Hill's show!
	1:33pm efd: "Speeding Motorcycle" was indeed recorded at WFMU, on Nick Hill's Music Faucet show. Here's the backstory and the rest of Daniel's appearance on that show: blog.wfmu.org...
	1:34pm Miss G: What a great set to have blasting in the car, only 80deg out, windows open, blue sky white puffy clouds, that Ìxtahuele is great, I have that double LP! Thank you DJ Monica!
	1:34pm Baja Joe: www.discogs.com...
	👻 1:35pm captain beef fart: This has been a great show for winding down the work week and packing for vacay. Thanks!
	1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Toast Ye All with the DeathWish Coffeez ~
	1:37pm efd: here is a "gift link" to that NYT pedal steel article, which can be accessed by non-subscribers. (The price you pay is the 10-mile long url.) www.nytimes.com...
	1:37pm βrian: Yes, I'm on the cusp of vacation, too. Heading north to hear the loons.
	1:38pm Bob from poughkeepsie: Hi Monica love your show.love speeding motorcycle.awesome song as the other songs you played
	1:39pm SamTheRam: Digging the mix Monica!
	1:39pm βrian: Dearie me!

	1:41pm Miss G: Thank you for the pedal steel guitar article, efd!
	1:41pm Monica: Joe McG and EFD - thx for the clarification + backstory:)...thank YOU,Miss G, eric from lake hiawatha, joe mulligan, captain beef fart, hi Bob from poughkeepsie, and SamTheRam!
	1:42pm Parq: I've said plenty about Blossom Dearie on Monica's playlists, but oh, what a terrific version of "Surry" this is.
	1:44pm ?: Robert Randolph reminds me of 20+ years ago when I would see him play, listen to too many jam bands, and read everything that Jesse Jarnow would write
	👻 1:45pm captain beef fart: Cheers, βrian!
	1:46pm βrian: Good day. Say, is there such a thing as Buffet Music?
	1:47pm ?: @Brian Jimmy Buffet
	1:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Monica, chatboard chaps / chapelles / chapettes / chappuccinos, etc.
	1:48pm Monica: EFD - thx so much for the "gift" link, love that featue:)...? - reading jesse jarnow is a smart move:)...
	1:48pm βrian: Nay. Music whose raison d'être is to accompany slow-moving diners at a buffet.
	1:48pm Phillippe: This Lisa Germano is so nice
	1:49pm ?: @Brian Wasting Away at the Salad Bar
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SingerSongwriter who condescended to be in our basement band where I am had been LisaGermano's Bass player on the road for a bit - but I'm basically ignorant of her work. :D So I always appreciate it being played ...small strange world that this is.
	1:53pm eric from lake hiawatha: Robert Randolph into Blossom Dearie, brilliant
	1:53pm Monica: Yo, Ken From Hyde Park!
	1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aretha open mouth. Thing happen.
	1:56pm Handy Haversack: Missed Blossom Dearie and way too much else while cleaning up outside. Crap damn it.
	1:56pm Hubig Pie: Originally sung by Sir Lancelot
	1:57pm Miss G: L I was well into adulthood before I knew that "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen" wasn't "By me Mr. Shane."
	1:57pm love2laf: I've given up. There is no way to keep working with this kind of music going on, and I refuse to wait until it's available in the archives. Working is keeping me from clicky hearting. Thanks Monica!
	1:58pm Parq: Monica, this set is sensational!
	1:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always loved that - Lerner & Loewe.
	2:00pm Passaic River Blues: Vibin' hard to the bed music.
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: Is anyone local having trouble with the 91.1 broadcast? Our normally reliable bathroom boombox has static.
	2:03pm Phillippe: Take it out of the tub and check the sound again, Handy
	2:03pm Passaic River Blues: Seems like it was a Gopnik joint: www.newyorker.com...
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: But it's still dirty, Phillippe!
	2:04pm Phillippe: So it's probably the bubbles causing the problem. Let it dry out, it'll be fine
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: BYO JAZZ jar.
	2:05pm Monica: Passaic River Blues - that's it! Adam Gopnik:) thx.
	2:07pm Hubig Pie: A dirty boombox has serious street cred. Do not wash the boombox
	2:10pm TimSF: wow Phillippe, you are really funny. You 2 Hubig
	2:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: May the RoboFours Be With You
	2:12pm Hubig Pie: @TimSF, I'll be here all week...
	2:12pm TimSF: Handy, so you save it in a jar?
	2:13pm Handy Haversack: The contents of the JAZZ jar are unknowable.
	2:16pm Gaylord Fields: Monica, I may be late to the party, but I'm gobbling up the hors d'oeuvres as fast as you're serving them! <3
	2:16pm chris in the redwoods: hell yeah
	2:17pm TimSF: Handy, your comments are sometimes ajar.
	2:17pm Monica: awww, gaylord!!! your ears musta been burning, gave you a shoutout earlier:)
	2:18pm Phillippe: TimSF my wife and kids tell me I'm funny too, usually dripping with sarcasm. I'm used to it.
	2:19pm Phillippe: Oooh, this Moon King <3 <3 <3
	2:19pm Gaylord Fields: So that's why I was feeling out of sync before but am on a cloud now that I'm here! Either that, or the music — but probably both. :)
	2:20pm Monica: xxoo, G!
	2:21pm TimSF: Phillippe, at least they're not telling you you're funny (looking)
	2:23pm Phillippe: Oh, I get that too...
	2:24pm prof.fuzz: i once witnessed a five year old in a shouting match with my then-girlfriend's car. The car kept saying "A door is ajar," and the five year old yelled back, repeatedly, "NO! A door is a door. A door is NOT A JAR!"
	2:24pm abbazabba: Woah, that synth is so cool!
	2:24pm duluoz: This Daphni track...big jams
	2:25pm Handy Haversack: If it were a JAZZ jar, you never know.
	2:26pm Carmichael: Just sit quietly and watch the jazz in the jar.
	2:26pm Monica: hey there, prof.fuzz, abbazabba, and duluoz!
	2:26pm Carmichael: Didn't Thin Lizzy play Jazz in The Jar?
	2:27pm TimSF: prof.fuzz: I adoor your story
	2:27pm eric from lake hiawatha: @efd thanks for the pedal steel guitar link
	2:27pm Carmichael: This sounds vaguely like that song the nerds did at the fair in Revenge of the Nerds.
	2:31pm Carmichael: The KH song, I meant.
	2:34pm Passaic River Blues: Pretty cool how Monica's mining disparate grooves (contemporary hip-house queendom by MTS, KH's updated poppy skittering melodic garage, Bando el Recodo's speed ranchera, and this late, high velocity krautrocky thing) ALL IN SERVICE OF THE UNIVERSAL GROOVE!
	2:36pm prof.fuzz: Hey monica! handy! @TimSF: the kid was way more adoor-able than the gf... the car was hot though.
	2:36pm _Ike_: Sunnyside sounds awesome. Haven't been over there lately. Really love Thailand's Center Point in Woodside, fantastic little restaurant.
	2:36pm Zach from Hackensack: stop telling people about Queens!! they're gonna ruin it :(
	2:36pm dmartnewmexico: Monica!! Love your train of thought. I always tune in when you’re hosting ❤️

	2:43pm Laura L: Hi Monica, working but listening... thanks for Sunset--one of my top favorite Roxy Music songs. Happy Friday!
	2:43pm Baja Joe: Not that this radio station doesn't continually impress, but, Faye, and now you Monica, 2 DJ's I am only recently coming to know, are amazingly talented at tune and sound selections. Makes me glad to be stuck at home nursing my COVID stricken self. Thanks for the great stuff. Always learning, am I.
	2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Eno Weird & Ferry Romantic was a good combination.
	2:44pm Monica: Steve L !!!! xxooo.... hello and thx, BLCKDGRD + Laura L. Msny thx, Baja Joe!
	2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <+> WELLNESS <+> ~ Baja Joe ~ & Everyone.
	👻 2:46pm captain beef fart: I once asked The Duane Train, "Who is your favorite WFMU dj besides you"? He said he couldn't possibly try to answer then alluded to trying not to miss any of Monica's shows. I went to the archives then have been looking forward to Monica filling in ever since.
	2:46pm Tom from Stirling: Oko! Just in time for Roxy. Savin' the best for last.
	2:46pm Miss G: sniff had to step away but back to hear Roxy Forever! (& get better soon Baja Joe!)
