	12:37pm Krys O.: Remember CMJ?
	12:37pm michael cap: Go Pseu!
	12:37pm drowsy: Could start an honor roll: Emerson College (Boston) Radio RIP. ( They held out awhile though. ) University of New Haven South Orange?
	12:38pm Marc15: WABC stopped playing Music in 1982
	12:38pm scott: Oral orifice is comparable to anal orifice in nastiness.
	12:38pm Brian St Cyr: Hmmmm Is fmu clean?????
	12:39pm Brian in New Orleans: there i am
	12:39pm Jack McGuire: Record Pool.
	12:39pm drowsy: BC, a Jesuit College, still has No Commercial Potential so big props. Sorry for the New England bias
	12:40pm Borg9: My sister worked at werehouse records and made me buy the r.e.m. ep chronic town. Still have it.
	12:40pm Wallis...: WSOU from Seton Hall; Catholic university playing tons of Slayer & Motorhead is a-ok
	12:41pm drowsy: YAY! I was worried about SOU. Thank you.
	12:41pm Brian in New Orleans: WBRU! Brown University back in the day
	12:41pm scott: Never cared for REM since Stipe said he didn't care for The Beatles. Same league in music as my wicked step-mother.
	12:42pm rich the greeb: I have an entirely different REM experience. I first heard “losing my religion” at a bar mitzvah. I dug it but not as much as when I heard “baby got back” at another bar mitzvah.
	12:42pm Baja Joe: R.E.M. was a favorite. Not so much after Bill Berry departed. Still love hearing the early stuff.
	12:42pm drowsy: When I lived in NYC I set every rental car preset to SOU/FMU
	12:42pm eileen_tooth: Oh yeah pseu? That’s practically on Staten Island 😂
	12:42pm James: I bought Chronic Town on a whim when it came out. I had never heard of REM and just thought the cover was cool. And because it was an ep, it was cheap! Probably my best random pick ever.
	12:42pm eileen_tooth: Lol @ drowsy
	12:42pm Listener John from NJ: I too was a college radio dj when "Chronic Town" came out. I remember thinking they were "REM" and nt R - E - M. I remember playing "1,000,000" on my show. Such, such were the joys . . ."
	12:43pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Wallis: Chillicothe.
	12:43pm Brian in New Orleans: Love REM ...the too cool for school crowd has an official no like list...U2 included
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: @Brian St Cyr -- FMU is SO clean we barely get noticed by record companies. We gotta beg for everything, even from formerly pro-college ppl
	12:43pm Wallis...: @Listener Jonny: that was my second guess, of course. I can smell the paper factory from here
	12:44pm rich the greeb: New tshirt design idea- WFMU “your choice for clean radio “
	12:44pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): I concur with Baja Joe. "Out of Time" soured me.
	12:44pm Brian in New Orleans: @Pseu....honest question ...Do you pay Ascap etc for all songs aired? There are some pretty out there choices in any 24 hours...
	12:45pm Wallis...: First four REM records; after that Meh....
	12:45pm rich the greeb: REM - Meh, they’re finest album
	12:45pm Brian in New Orleans: WFNX was a great station as well as early WBCN
	12:46pm rich the greeb: Their *
	12:46pm Wallis...: Automatic, For "Meh" People
	12:46pm scott: @Pseu: Are you guys a CIA front?
	12:47pm eileen_tooth: Tiny just got excited and humped the air cuz I told him we would go out 😂
	12:47pm Pseu Braun: @scott OK you got us
	12:48pm Pseu Braun: @eileen he's humping the air waiting for my next track about animals
	12:49pm Wallis...: My 90's college radio program was a rip-off of every FMU stereotype: low energy, weirdo bed music, disinterested mic breaks, music no one (but me) wanted to hear, etc...
	12:50pm Pseu Braun: @Brian in New Orleans, Yep, we're actually in the midst of our reporting period to the RIAA
	12:51pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): America? Ok, I'm tapping out for 5 min.
	12:51pm Chop Scott: Hello Pseu!
	12:51pm katharsis: Drew u had a station. Now a struggling internet station of some kind. Also rem 1985 in the gym.
	12:51pm Bird: This song always annoyed me until I heard the original by Willis Alan Ramsey on his one and only album.
	12:51pm rich the greeb: Muskrat love is an amazing song that by all theory shouldn’t be
	12:52pm rich the greeb: @bird that’s probably what did it for me too
	12:52pm eva: good afternoon! the miyoko❤️s cashew milk cream cheese is very gross.
	12:53pm xtrakrispy: The song that started it all. Or a lot of it...
	12:53pm PB: I’ll take The Byrds version. Still the best one I’ve ever heard. They were The Byrds, after all.
	12:54pm eva: don’t recommend it at all.
	12:54pm eileen_tooth: Yes he is . He got overly excited 😆
	12:54pm xtrakrispy: @pb that 12string Rickenbacker!
	12:55pm rich the greeb: Was it the searchers that did that 12 string jangle thing originally?
	12:57pm PB: Don’t know, but McGuinn was the King!
	12:57pm Krys O.: Extra nice Johnston and Melcher.
	12:58pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Ok....
	12:58pm eileen_tooth: Pseu with the hook
	12:59pm rich the greeb: No question that Roger mcguinn is the king
	12:59pm xtrakrispy: @richthegreeb - i read a story that said the searchers created that sound using 6 strings but the sounds inspired Mcguinn who reproduced it with the 12 string. Echo in the Canyon has Mcguinn talking about Bells of Rhymney and the 12 string sound. Totally worth checking out, if Dylan the younger is kinda annoying.
	1:00pm Krys O.: Saw McGuinn play at Jigg's Corner in Butler about 30 years ago and he did 5-6 encores.
	1:01pm Krys O.: McGuinn did an epic cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door that night.
	1:02pm rich the greeb: @xtrakrispy I just read about the 2 guitars, so strange. I have seen the echos of the canyon and I completely agree
	1:04pm PB: I saw McGuinn many years ago. Solo show. His singing and playing were (of course) fantastic and his between song commentary was interesting, totally engaging and thoroughly charming. He’s a real treasure. There are a few CDs out there of his solo shows. Well worth trying to track down.
	1:06pm eileen_tooth: I guess I should leave the house already
	1:07pm rich the greeb: I think it was in running down a dream where Tom Petty is defending him for some reason to someone, and Roger is just so kind of unassuming in the background. Obviously a very humble and talented individual
	1:13pm Miss G: Beautiful dreamy song by Ivy.
	1:13pm Yes: lovely ivy tune
	1:16pm katharsis: @Eileen. I need to get out also
	1:18pm rich from Red Hook: Woo hoo it's Pseu! So nice to be back with my kitties and listening to wfmu again after being away 9 days. Love this drug dealer. Pseu any advice for getting back into my kitties good graces.
	1:28pm eastvanhalen: How could anyone turn down an invitation to meet Pseu on the playlist page?
	1:35pm Miss G: I hate this story Pseu! (except for the refunds) So sorry you missed your trip. I have heard so many horror stories this summer. (One friend went to a place with a live volcano next to the airport and now is laying in bed wth Covid.) Am enjoying chilling with the AC on and WFMU and Pseu!
	1:36pm xtrakrispy: That is why I am sitting at the beach on Fire Island for the next 3 weeks.
	1:37pm Krys O.: There are 128 days left to 2022.
	1:39pm Krys O.: Cheezus. Incurious anti-science people will be the death of us.
	1:39pm prudy: Pseu, thanks for your great rant...
	1:40pm Miss G: ooh, I can attend this! Putting on my calendar! Gaylord Fields Presents British Beat Ballads 1963–’65 Saturday, September 10th, 6pm - 7pm on Drop-In (on Rock'n'Soul Radio stream)
	1:41pm eastvanhalen: @Krys O - so much, it's so tiring
	1:41pm rich from Red Hook: Pseu, can you eat these lantern bugs? I was just in Missouri and the state was being overrun by cicadas. I saw an Andrew Zimmern show where they deep fried the cicadas and sprinkled them over peanut soup.
	1:45pm Listening Out There: Enjoying the usual tunes 'n rants...
	1:45pm Krys O.: Cicadas won't destroy trees and plants like spotted lanternflies.
	1:47pm Krys O.: A week ago I began to see spotted lanternflies on the front porch where I live. I surprised myself by doing a high kick then smash like a martial arts move.
	1:51pm Roberto: My daughter's cat likes to watch the spotted lanternflies writhing on the windowsill of her Philadelphia apartment.
	1:52pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello to all my fellow Spotted Lanternfly moiderers out there! Don't want them messing with my fig tree.
	1:53pm drr: oh that's weird...melanie s jane made me wonder what happened to Danielle Dax
	1:57pm vinylmonkee: Serena-Maneesh 🖤
	1:57pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Pseu! Oh man D Dax, thanks for the reminder, used to have one of her LPs, she was so unique!
	1:57pm Miss G: whoa loving this Serena-Maneesh
	1:57pm rich from Red Hook: Take me To The Other Side!
	2:01pm PB: A lot of great stuff on the show today! Never heard of Serena-Maneesh, but that track was great.
	2:03pm EG_Astro: Have not heard electrelane in some time, what a great band
	2:04pm Deano de los Muertos: They could just replace the drummer in electolane/stereolab with a metronome. It really is the same beat in every song
	2:06pm egould: Keyboards! Gah! Keyboards are the 2000’s version of 80’s saxophone.
	2:06pm Simon y morphe: Sounds like electrelane recorded that in full effect rather than tracking?? Yes???
	2:09pm Miss G: Birthday party for niece just delayed! sad face glad I have this great set to enjoy
	2:10pm drr: egould: that's pretty funny cause it's true.
	2:11pm drr: A lot of 2000s DIY indie rock seemed to have Berklee grads in it.
	2:20pm bradford: now this is the stuff!
	2:21pm Tome: !<>! !<>! !<>!
	2:21pm drr: one chord is usually enough
	2:22pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Pseu! Hi morphe’ & Simon! Hi ya’ll! Rock & stinkinn rolll!
	2:22pm chresti: Hi Pseu and the hooked!
	2:22pm LiXiviated Life: Listening to this music has got me sitting here wondering, Am I just kidding myself or do I really have room for jello
	2:22pm drr: one and a half turns it into something else.
	2:22pm Mike Sin: Didn’t get a chance to crank it up until 2pm or so, but I’m in live and loud for the last hour!
	2:23pm PB: Spacemen 3 always struck me as a band to play late at night, but mid-afternoon works well too!
	2:24pm Fishtown Mike: Holy cow, new Photon Band !? Thanks & great show Pseu!
	2:33pm vinylmonkee: Loving this set
	2:33pm drr: Flat Worms a big WFMU discovery for me.
	2:34pm dave wuz here: flat worms very dan melchior sounding
	2:36pm drr: maybe I should discover Dan Melchior? (thought he was a kind-of Billy Childish adjacent guy?)
	2:36pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): QoTS! Nice!
	2:37pm _Ike_: @katharsis@12:51, I did a show on that crappy little 10-watt Drew station back in the mid-90s! As did FMU volunteer Zoe D.!
	2:38pm rich from Red Hook: Miss that Mark Lanegan. He and Josh wrote the intro song to Anthony Bourdain's show.
	2:42pm Krys O.: Do they have a metronome? I used to hear the band rehearsals when I lived next to the high school football field in Bloomfield. The band sounded great. The goldarn fireworks display on July 4th was the bane of my existence for five years. That traumatized me and my cats.
	2:42pm Creature Boy: Chuckling over here
	2:43pm rich the greeb: Poor Jerry
	2:43pm DoberBoy: Sounds terrible. Are all condos like that?
	2:44pm prof.fuzz: jerry needs to start playing air trombone and just jam along with the kiddos...
	2:44pm chresti: Haha
	2:44pm Tome: I'd be making my own "marching band" in my base apt here for sure !<>!
	2:45pm Miss G: Whoa. I will never complain about the girl next door screaming into zoom at all hours, ever again. Marching bands! wow.
	2:45pm chresti: It could be worse, better than car alarms sounding off all day.
	2:46pm Robm: Hello fellow hookers
	2:47pm Krys O.: I adore The Beths!
	2:48pm drr: We get to hear the bands on Friday night from the high school football games across the Mississippi river. That's fun, though.
	2:48pm katharsis: @Ike Sweet! I listened mostly in the 80s and into the 90s some.
	2:48pm Bill in W.O.: What Krys O. said! Fun show today Pseu. Thanks!
	2:50pm Krys O.: Must say thanks, Pseu before work spirits me away from the comments board.
	2:50pm Robm: @Krys O the more i hear the beths the more i am glad i don’t listen to commercial music radio anymore.
	2:52pm Krys O.: Ooh, the Marine Girls too!
	2:53pm vinylmonkee: Another great show, thanks Pseu!
	2:54pm katharsis: Great show. Thanks all.
	2:54pm eastvanhalen: This show has been so much fun. Thanks, Pseu!
	2:54pm Robm: @Krys O them too
	2:56pm Miss G: Thanks so much Pseu and wishing you much of the chilling.
	2:56pm eastvanhalen: Just got an email, Crowded House is postponing their North American dates, and now I am sad
	2:57pm Picante Mint: Thanks for the show today Pseu!
	2:57pm scott: oops
	2:57pm drr: Like the Wedding Present, The Verlaines seem to have recorded their music to take full advantage of my particular hearing loss.
	2:57pm Pseu Braun: Thanks everyone!
	2:57pm listener 126464: Thanks Pseu!
	2:57pm miles: marching band = bad cop psue =good cop in Jerry world
	2:58pm drr: (I can tell both of those bands have good songs but sections of the aural spectrum are missing for me.)
	2:58pm Krys O.: As Pseu mentioned earlier, there's nothing wrong with enjoying R.E.M. and the Birthday Party. The list could go on and on. If you are so rigid in your tastes, you might just have a problem. :)
	2:58pm scott: Pseu, you are the best, my lady.
	2:59pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): THanks Pseu! Psee you next week!
	2:59pm Simon y morphe: Thanks Pseu and all !!!!
	2:59pm lmbrtdn: Great show Pseu!!
	2:59pm radioronan: Thanks Pseu!
	3:01pm Robm: @Krys O this station and a couple of others have expanded my music tastes to the point where I despise commercial radio
	3:12pm rich the greeb: Verlaines are definitely in my favorite bands ever category and dream show to see

	12:42pm eileen_tooth: Lol @ drowsy
	12:42pm Listener John from NJ: I too was a college radio dj when "Chronic Town" came out. I remember thinking they were "REM" and nt R - E - M. I remember playing "1,000,000" on my show. Such, such were the joys . . ."
	12:43pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Wallis: Chillicothe.
	12:43pm Brian in New Orleans: Love REM ...the too cool for school crowd has an official no like list...U2 included
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: @Brian St Cyr -- FMU is SO clean we barely get noticed by record companies. We gotta beg for everything, even from formerly pro-college ppl
	12:43pm Wallis...: @Listener Jonny: that was my second guess, of course. I can smell the paper factory from here
	12:44pm rich the greeb: New tshirt design idea- WFMU “your choice for clean radio “
	12:44pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): I concur with Baja Joe. "Out of Time" soured me.
	12:44pm Brian in New Orleans: @Pseu....honest question ...Do you pay Ascap etc for all songs aired? There are some pretty out there choices in any 24 hours...
	12:45pm Wallis...: First four REM records; after that Meh....
	12:45pm rich the greeb: REM - Meh, they’re finest album
	12:45pm Brian in New Orleans: WFNX was a great station as well as early WBCN
	12:46pm rich the greeb: Their *
	12:46pm Wallis...: Automatic, For "Meh" People
	12:46pm scott: @Pseu: Are you guys a CIA front?
	12:47pm eileen_tooth: Tiny just got excited and humped the air cuz I told him we would go out 😂
	12:47pm Pseu Braun: @scott OK you got us
	12:48pm Pseu Braun: @eileen he's humping the air waiting for my next track about animals
	12:49pm Wallis...: My 90's college radio program was a rip-off of every FMU stereotype: low energy, weirdo bed music, disinterested mic breaks, music no one (but me) wanted to hear, etc...
	12:50pm Pseu Braun: @Brian in New Orleans, Yep, we're actually in the midst of our reporting period to the RIAA
	12:51pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): America? Ok, I'm tapping out for 5 min.
	12:51pm Chop Scott: Hello Pseu!
	12:51pm katharsis: Drew u had a station. Now a struggling internet station of some kind. Also rem 1985 in the gym.
	12:51pm Bird: This song always annoyed me until I heard the original by Willis Alan Ramsey on his one and only album.
	12:51pm rich the greeb: Muskrat love is an amazing song that by all theory shouldn’t be
	12:52pm rich the greeb: @bird that’s probably what did it for me too
	12:52pm eva: good afternoon! the miyoko❤️s cashew milk cream cheese is very gross.
	12:53pm xtrakrispy: The song that started it all. Or a lot of it...
	12:53pm PB: I’ll take The Byrds version. Still the best one I’ve ever heard. They were The Byrds, after all.
	12:54pm eva: don’t recommend it at all.
	12:54pm eileen_tooth: Yes he is . He got overly excited 😆
	12:54pm xtrakrispy: @pb that 12string Rickenbacker!
	12:55pm rich the greeb: Was it the searchers that did that 12 string jangle thing originally?
	12:57pm PB: Don’t know, but McGuinn was the King!
	12:57pm Krys O.: Extra nice Johnston and Melcher.
	12:58pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Ok....
	12:58pm eileen_tooth: Pseu with the hook
	12:59pm rich the greeb: No question that Roger mcguinn is the king
	12:59pm xtrakrispy: @richthegreeb - i read a story that said the searchers created that sound using 6 strings but the sounds inspired Mcguinn who reproduced it with the 12 string. Echo in the Canyon has Mcguinn talking about Bells of Rhymney and the 12 string sound. Totally worth checking out, if Dylan the younger is kinda annoying.
	1:00pm Krys O.: Saw McGuinn play at Jigg's Corner in Butler about 30 years ago and he did 5-6 encores.
	1:01pm Krys O.: McGuinn did an epic cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door that night.
	1:02pm rich the greeb: @xtrakrispy I just read about the 2 guitars, so strange. I have seen the echos of the canyon and I completely agree
	1:04pm PB: I saw McGuinn many years ago. Solo show. His singing and playing were (of course) fantastic and his between song commentary was interesting, totally engaging and thoroughly charming. He’s a real treasure. There are a few CDs out there of his solo shows. Well worth trying to track down.
	1:06pm eileen_tooth: I guess I should leave the house already
	1:07pm rich the greeb: I think it was in running down a dream where Tom Petty is defending him for some reason to someone, and Roger is just so kind of unassuming in the background. Obviously a very humble and talented individual
	1:13pm Miss G: Beautiful dreamy song by Ivy.
	1:13pm Yes: lovely ivy tune
	1:16pm katharsis: @Eileen. I need to get out also
	1:18pm rich from Red Hook: Woo hoo it's Pseu! So nice to be back with my kitties and listening to wfmu again after being away 9 days. Love this drug dealer. Pseu any advice for getting back into my kitties good graces.
	1:28pm eastvanhalen: How could anyone turn down an invitation to meet Pseu on the playlist page?
	1:35pm Miss G: I hate this story Pseu! (except for the refunds) So sorry you missed your trip. I have heard so many horror stories this summer. (One friend went to a place with a live volcano next to the airport and now is laying in bed wth Covid.) Am enjoying chilling with the AC on and WFMU and Pseu!
	1:36pm xtrakrispy: That is why I am sitting at the beach on Fire Island for the next 3 weeks.
	1:37pm Krys O.: There are 128 days left to 2022.
	1:39pm Krys O.: Cheezus. Incurious anti-science people will be the death of us.
	1:39pm prudy: Pseu, thanks for your great rant...
	1:40pm Miss G: ooh, I can attend this! Putting on my calendar! Gaylord Fields Presents British Beat Ballads 1963–’65 Saturday, September 10th, 6pm - 7pm on Drop-In (on Rock'n'Soul Radio stream)
	1:41pm eastvanhalen: @Krys O - so much, it's so tiring
	1:41pm rich from Red Hook: Pseu, can you eat these lantern bugs? I was just in Missouri and the state was being overrun by cicadas. I saw an Andrew Zimmern show where they deep fried the cicadas and sprinkled them over peanut soup.
	1:45pm Listening Out There: Enjoying the usual tunes 'n rants...
	1:45pm Krys O.: Cicadas won't destroy trees and plants like spotted lanternflies.
	1:47pm Krys O.: A week ago I began to see spotted lanternflies on the front porch where I live. I surprised myself by doing a high kick then smash like a martial arts move.
	1:51pm Roberto: My daughter's cat likes to watch the spotted lanternflies writhing on the windowsill of her Philadelphia apartment.
	1:52pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello to all my fellow Spotted Lanternfly moiderers out there! Don't want them messing with my fig tree.
	1:53pm drr: oh that's weird...melanie s jane made me wonder what happened to Danielle Dax
	1:57pm vinylmonkee: Serena-Maneesh 🖤
	1:57pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Pseu! Oh man D Dax, thanks for the reminder, used to have one of her LPs, she was so unique!
	1:57pm Miss G: whoa loving this Serena-Maneesh
	1:57pm rich from Red Hook: Take me To The Other Side!
	2:01pm PB: A lot of great stuff on the show today! Never heard of Serena-Maneesh, but that track was great.
	2:03pm EG_Astro: Have not heard electrelane in some time, what a great band
	2:04pm Deano de los Muertos: They could just replace the drummer in electolane/stereolab with a metronome. It really is the same beat in every song
	2:06pm egould: Keyboards! Gah! Keyboards are the 2000’s version of 80’s saxophone.
	2:06pm Simon y morphe: Sounds like electrelane recorded that in full effect rather than tracking?? Yes???
	2:09pm Miss G: Birthday party for niece just delayed! sad face glad I have this great set to enjoy
	2:10pm drr: egould: that's pretty funny cause it's true.
	2:11pm drr: A lot of 2000s DIY indie rock seemed to have Berklee grads in it.
	2:20pm bradford: now this is the stuff!
	2:21pm Tome: !<>! !<>! !<>!
	2:21pm drr: one chord is usually enough
	2:22pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Pseu! Hi morphe’ & Simon! Hi ya’ll! Rock & stinkinn rolll!
	2:22pm chresti: Hi Pseu and the hooked!
	2:22pm LiXiviated Life: Listening to this music has got me sitting here wondering, Am I just kidding myself or do I really have room for jello
	2:22pm drr: one and a half turns it into something else.
	2:22pm Mike Sin: Didn’t get a chance to crank it up until 2pm or so, but I’m in live and loud for the last hour!
	2:23pm PB: Spacemen 3 always struck me as a band to play late at night, but mid-afternoon works well too!
	2:24pm Fishtown Mike: Holy cow, new Photon Band !? Thanks & great show Pseu!
	2:33pm vinylmonkee: Loving this set
	2:33pm drr: Flat Worms a big WFMU discovery for me.
	2:34pm dave wuz here: flat worms very dan melchior sounding
	2:36pm drr: maybe I should discover Dan Melchior? (thought he was a kind-of Billy Childish adjacent guy?)
	2:36pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): QoTS! Nice!
	2:37pm _Ike_: @katharsis@12:51, I did a show on that crappy little 10-watt Drew station back in the mid-90s! As did FMU volunteer Zoe D.!
	2:38pm rich from Red Hook: Miss that Mark Lanegan. He and Josh wrote the intro song to Anthony Bourdain's show.
	2:42pm Krys O.: Do they have a metronome? I used to hear the band rehearsals when I lived next to the high school football field in Bloomfield. The band sounded great. The goldarn fireworks display on July 4th was the bane of my existence for five years. That traumatized me and my cats.
	2:42pm Creature Boy: Chuckling over here
	2:43pm rich the greeb: Poor Jerry
	2:43pm DoberBoy: Sounds terrible. Are all condos like that?
	2:44pm prof.fuzz: jerry needs to start playing air trombone and just jam along with the kiddos...
	2:44pm chresti: Haha
	2:44pm Tome: I'd be making my own "marching band" in my base apt here for sure !<>!
	2:45pm Miss G: Whoa. I will never complain about the girl next door screaming into zoom at all hours, ever again. Marching bands! wow.
	2:45pm chresti: It could be worse, better than car alarms sounding off all day.
	2:46pm Robm: Hello fellow hookers
	2:47pm Krys O.: I adore The Beths!
	2:48pm drr: We get to hear the bands on Friday night from the high school football games across the Mississippi river. That's fun, though.
	2:48pm katharsis: @Ike Sweet! I listened mostly in the 80s and into the 90s some.
	2:48pm Bill in W.O.: What Krys O. said! Fun show today Pseu. Thanks!
	2:50pm Krys O.: Must say thanks, Pseu before work spirits me away from the comments board.
	2:50pm Robm: @Krys O the more i hear the beths the more i am glad i don’t listen to commercial music radio anymore.
	2:52pm Krys O.: Ooh, the Marine Girls too!
	2:53pm vinylmonkee: Another great show, thanks Pseu!
	2:54pm katharsis: Great show. Thanks all.
	2:54pm eastvanhalen: This show has been so much fun. Thanks, Pseu!
	2:54pm Robm: @Krys O them too
	2:56pm Miss G: Thanks so much Pseu and wishing you much of the chilling.
	2:56pm eastvanhalen: Just got an email, Crowded House is postponing their North American dates, and now I am sad
	2:57pm Picante Mint: Thanks for the show today Pseu!
	2:57pm scott: oops
	2:57pm drr: Like the Wedding Present, The Verlaines seem to have recorded their music to take full advantage of my particular hearing loss.
	2:57pm Pseu Braun: Thanks everyone!
	2:57pm listener 126464: Thanks Pseu!
	2:57pm miles: marching band = bad cop psue =good cop in Jerry world
	2:58pm drr: (I can tell both of those bands have good songs but sections of the aural spectrum are missing for me.)
	2:58pm Krys O.: As Pseu mentioned earlier, there's nothing wrong with enjoying R.E.M. and the Birthday Party. The list could go on and on. If you are so rigid in your tastes, you might just have a problem. :)
	2:58pm scott: Pseu, you are the best, my lady.
	2:59pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): THanks Pseu! Psee you next week!
	2:59pm Simon y morphe: Thanks Pseu and all !!!!
	2:59pm lmbrtdn: Great show Pseu!!
	2:59pm radioronan: Thanks Pseu!
	3:01pm Robm: @Krys O this station and a couple of others have expanded my music tastes to the point where I despise commercial radio
	3:12pm rich the greeb: Verlaines are definitely in my favorite bands ever category and dream show to see
