	🎙 12:23am Jherweg: Hope you guys like slow meandering analog synth sounds because this track goes on for like another 11 minutes !
	12:23am northguineahills: ↳ Jherweg @12:23 pfft! just 11 minutes, give me another 2.5 hours, then we'll talk!
	12:24am Miss G: wow I just turned it on and it's like this thing Droneo I put in my phone from WH Henry, but I never read the directions so it ran down the battery on my phone. . .but this won't .-)
	🎙 12:25am Ike: ↳ Jherweg @12:23 Awesome.
	12:26am northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @12:06 if I had some scratch, and a regular pad, then being unemployed would be a holiday for me...(gotta start looking interviewing this week..., hoping the gap in employment from obvious reasons isn't a problem)...
	12:26am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Gong Pt. 2" by "Esses" eleh would go well after this...
	12:28am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Jherweg @12:23 Every DJ needs a toilet break especially when they've eat Taco Bell or are in Taco Bell withdrawl. You'll be OK.
	12:34am Miss G: Wow I loved that track so much I will write it down Esses.
	12:35am Sally: ↳ northguineahills @12:26 Good luck with the job interviews ngh, it can be stressful! I wish I could afford to be unemployed right now too.
	12:36am Sally: Def into the meditative vibe.
	12:37am Miss G: Play It Jonathan Herweg! You never know who will hear it!
	12:37am northguineahills: ↳ Sally @12:35 Thanks, Sally, it's been since the beginning of the pandemic since i've had a jobby job. Got severely ill 20 months ago, then went to school again and finished last week, (it's been a curious few years).
	12:40am Sally: That sounds rough. I lost my job at the beginning of the pandemic too and had a long job search. Congrats on finishing school! That will definitely help you get work again.
	12:43am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ northguineahills @12:37 Congratulations on finishing! At the end of 2020, I took a voluntary separation package from my job of 19 years. Then I did a 10 week Cybersecurity course and didn't get a job in that field so I went back to Web Developer.
	12:44am Miss G: NGH, JH, nature nature nature! (JH, And cremains can be put into water, in a lotus shaped biodegradable container, and it doesn't cost much.) (Seeing you this moment NGH, gotta go, but wishing you well as always! "all shall be well" my sister gave me a charm of that, when my guy left us!)
	12:45am northguineahills: ↳ Miss G @12:34 we need an excess of essesses....
	12:46am northguineahills: ↳ Miss G @12:44 merci, miss G! (comme toujours)
	12:49am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Görünmez Hava" by "Anadol" faved this on olivia's show, 3 years ago! /i told my parents, that if anything were to happen to me, just throw me overboard far off shore. a rather cheap and sustainable option (Just need a boat)
	12:52am Sally: ↳ northguineahills @12:49 That sounds lovely as far as death goes. I think I would like my ashes spread around a large tree in a forest. But right now while we're alive, let's enjoy it...carpe diem.
	12:52am Katharsis: hellos
	12:54am Sally: profitez de l'instant présent
	12:55am Sally: "El borrón donde las cuentas se renuevan" translates to "The blur where the accounts are renewed" according to Google translate ha.
	12:56am northguineahills: ↳ Sally @12:52 one thing i've learned, is a lifetime of good diet and exercise, makes one's body bounce back from about anything.
	12:56am Marley P. Dogg: Morning friends
	12:56am northguineahills: i'm mostly fluent in spanish, but i've never seen borron, and just translated it as blot, but blur makes more sense....
	12:58am Sally: ↳ northguineahills @12:56 the renewed bodies all blurred and obscured
	🎙 12:59am Aitch: Hello blurry people
	1:00am northguineahills: ↳ Sally @12:58 that would be perfect for my blurred and obscured shirt!
	1:16am Sally: maintenant
	1:17am Yvang: ↳ Song: "1" by "HEYVARD - ANTONELLA EYE PORCELLUZZI" Strong poem. The Name of the Album is "Les Cannibales". veinte33records.bandcamp.com...
	🎙 1:20am Jherweg: Oh yeah there I fixed it.
	1:22am Yvang: ↳ Jherweg @1:20 Sorry Jonathan I will sound like a dick, but it's "Les" Cannibales
	1:24am greenlight: good morning. glad to be back after a last week´s absence. good to be back.
	🎙 1:25am Scott_Oz: Was out back with my Dog listening, but clouded over now. So I see ya comments Spats & NGH. Yeah I'm fortunate to own my own home on a quarter acre & have some savings from my work years. But it's still bloody tricky surviving on the Dole. Life is getting more expensive & my savings are slowly dwindling to cover my Social Security shortfall. But buck a can beer & my bow wow keep me sane...ish! 🍻😎🤙👣🐶🐾🐾
	1:27am T GRavel: loving this set everyhting is so goood
	1:35am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Scott_Oz @1:25 The cost of living is getting worse, alright! I spent $28 to see a rerelease of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles last night at the cinema in "Stick-O-Vision" (you get a scratch 'n' sniff card to use at appropriate times in the film). I'm going to duck out for a walk and skate and late lunch break.
	1:36am Yvang: It's because I care!
	1:41am cbunny: don’t know if anyone heard, but we lost Jah Shaka earlier this week. this sons of arqa track is excellent
	🎙 1:41am Scott_Oz: ↳ Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150) @1:35 Did you get to sniff Pizza!!??🍕 I haven't been to a major cinema for 10 years mate. & even when I did, it was usually while supporting a Disability Client, so I was free. I occasionally go to our local Independent Cinema, prices are okay for concession holders.
	1:42am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cosmic Jugbandi 11" by "Suns Of Arqa" crackers, i step out and miss suns of arqa....
	🎙 1:42am Jherweg: Oh man I played a Jah Shaka track a few shows ago ..
	1:46am cbunny: ⚫️🖤⚫️
	🎙 1:53am Aitch: ↳ Scott_Oz @1:25 My fave meal combo at the good turkish joint has gone from $49 to $80 over the last 3 years, income v Pide ratio very highly reduced as a consequence.
	1:53am fred: Greetings Jonathan and listeners
	🎙 1:58am Jherweg: Hey Fred thanks for tuning in . Good morning !!
	🎙 2:00am Scott_Oz: ↳ Aitch @1:53 Now I want a Turkish feed, but not for that money mate!
	2:00am fred: @NGH: I'll be seeing Phill Niblock this Friday!
	🎙 2:00am Scott_Oz: ↳ fred @1:53 G'day Fred 🍻😎🤙💨☕
	2:03am Fox: Hullo. I’m listening but rearranging my apartment without computer plugged back in yet.
	🎙 2:04am Ike: One of the best restaurants in NYC is the Thai place in Queens where you can get 3 things over rice from the steam table for about $13-$14 and it's as good as some of the best food I ate in Thailand, so I have trouble wanting to spend any more than that anywhere else.
	2:06am greenlight: ↳ fred @2:00 nice!
	2:10am fred: ↳ Ike @2:04 The last time I went to a restaurant was over 15 years ago, and it was a Thai one. I guess I ended on a high note
	🎙 2:10am Aitch: ↳ Scott_Oz @2:00 It'll feed 4, but still wtf?
	🎙 2:11am Ike: I relate to that rant a bit, but I also feel like a hypocrite, because when I go on dates and the other person lacks confidence, it seems unattractive, yet at the same time I feel like our society places too much of a premium on confidence.
	2:12am Sally: I hear you Jonathan and I've definitely seen an increase in arrogant bullying. But the kind of people you're looking for are out there. As a friend just told me yesterday: we can't change or control other people, but we can try to better humans ourselves. We can be confident AND kind.
	2:13am Yvang: Confidence is okay and helps a lot, arrogance is not.
	2:14am grtyvr: when people show you who they are you should listen.... and act accordingly.
	🎙 2:15am Aitch: See how they treat the waiters.
	2:16am Fox: I agree wholeheartedly. Last year I let go of a few of my remaining old friends. I realized I didn’t like who they were. Selfish.
	🎙 2:20am Aitch: Nearly 7 years since I last went on a day, but just starting to think I might want to give it a try again. Yikes
	🎙 2:20am Aitch: date
	2:22am fred: ↳ Fox @2:16 A few years ago I lost my last childhood friends: we were walking around when a couple of punks approached us, friends of mine actually, so we talked about upcoming gigs. My childhood friends were horrified, it made clear we were too far apart
	2:24am coelacanth: fred that reminds me of the cure song "how beautiful you are"
	2:28am T GRavel: what an great show gotta catch the rest on the archive bonne nuit
	2:29am Sally: bonne nuit!
	2:30am Fox: ↳ Aitch @2:20 I spent five years thinking myself physically unfuckable, a doctor visit changed that, and two weeks later I started dating a younger man. It lasted six months. Right after it ended, Covid happened. Been alone ever since.
	2:32am Fox: But I joined one of those apps and I might go on an app date for the first time in my life next week. Craziness. I don’t know the rules!
	2:35am Yvang: ↳ coelacanth @2:24 This is the song based on a poem by Baudelaire, same story different words.
	🎙 2:36am Ike: ↳ Fox @2:32 Online dating is like democracy: it's the worst system there is, except for all the others (for me anyway).
	2:39am coelacanth∅: Yvang i think i've heard that. or read that. ... or did i imagine that because the setting is paris!
	2:41am Fox: ↳ Ike @2:36 I’ve never done it before, but on my own I have a dated a disproportionate number of junkies and broke ass Peter Pan Syndrome dudes, so it can’t be worse.
	🎙 2:43am Aitch: I'm scared of Ed Shearing loving ladies that sing along to commercial radio
	🎙 2:44am Ike: ↳ Fox @2:41 As I see it, the things to keep in mind are: You will prob. meet a lot of people with whom you have zero chemistry, so that's why coffee/tea/a drink is preferable to a "real" first date. Be persistent. You will prob. get discouraged. Just keep going. It's a numbers game -- frustrating but true. For some, it's much easier to meet people "in real life" but I've never been good at that. Junkies? Never encountered that on Hinge or Bumble. But they might be on Tinder or Coffee Meets Bagel, ha ha!
	🎙 2:44am Aitch: ↳ Fox @2:41 Did 25 years with an actual demon, but don't want a nanna either.
	2:47am Fox: I think I’ve only been on like five dates in my life.
	2:47am ERIK / VermonT: re Suns of Arqa : as with many music artists catalogs, I recommend starting at the beginnings of career & move forward. I love the first 10+ or so albums. Especially the 1980-1991 era. Earliest still my faves. Revenge of the Mozabites 1980 is a kick.
	🎙 2:49am Ike: JH, don't underestimate housing problems in the UK. My understanding is it's as bad as NYC or worse, esp. in London. I'm no expert but I think they've had ongoing issues with this for decades. The grass isn't always greener.
	2:53am Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:39 Here's the poem : www.musicfanclubs.org...
	2:56am grtyvr: thank you so much for a great few hours of music.
	🎙 2:57am Scott_Oz: Thanks Jonathan, great sound session mate! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	2:57am Yvang: It's been a delight. A freeform one. Thanks Jonathan!
	🎙 2:58am Aitch: Thanks JH.
	🎙 2:58am Ike: Thanks, JH!
	2:59am Hubig Pie: Hola for the last few notes of one of the best shows
	2:59am coelacanth∅: Yvang yeah that most certainly was Smith's inspiration (at least!)

View Jherweg's profile

An underground journey through the history of psychedelic rock, modern music, shimmering noise, free jazz, punk, funk, children's records played at the wrong speed, tape cut-up, static, the composition of decomposition, and subversive spoken word.

	🎙 2:00am Scott_Oz: ↳ Aitch @1:53 Now I want a Turkish feed, but not for that money mate!
	2:00am fred: @NGH: I'll be seeing Phill Niblock this Friday!
	🎙 2:00am Scott_Oz: ↳ fred @1:53 G'day Fred 🍻😎🤙💨☕
	2:03am Fox: Hullo. I’m listening but rearranging my apartment without computer plugged back in yet.
	🎙 2:04am Ike: One of the best restaurants in NYC is the Thai place in Queens where you can get 3 things over rice from the steam table for about $13-$14 and it's as good as some of the best food I ate in Thailand, so I have trouble wanting to spend any more than that anywhere else.
	2:06am greenlight: ↳ fred @2:00 nice!
	2:10am fred: ↳ Ike @2:04 The last time I went to a restaurant was over 15 years ago, and it was a Thai one. I guess I ended on a high note
	🎙 2:10am Aitch: ↳ Scott_Oz @2:00 It'll feed 4, but still wtf?
	🎙 2:11am Ike: I relate to that rant a bit, but I also feel like a hypocrite, because when I go on dates and the other person lacks confidence, it seems unattractive, yet at the same time I feel like our society places too much of a premium on confidence.
	2:12am Sally: I hear you Jonathan and I've definitely seen an increase in arrogant bullying. But the kind of people you're looking for are out there. As a friend just told me yesterday: we can't change or control other people, but we can try to better humans ourselves. We can be confident AND kind.
	2:13am Yvang: Confidence is okay and helps a lot, arrogance is not.
	2:14am grtyvr: when people show you who they are you should listen.... and act accordingly.
	🎙 2:15am Aitch: See how they treat the waiters.
	2:16am Fox: I agree wholeheartedly. Last year I let go of a few of my remaining old friends. I realized I didn’t like who they were. Selfish.
	🎙 2:20am Aitch: Nearly 7 years since I last went on a day, but just starting to think I might want to give it a try again. Yikes
	🎙 2:20am Aitch: date
	2:22am fred: ↳ Fox @2:16 A few years ago I lost my last childhood friends: we were walking around when a couple of punks approached us, friends of mine actually, so we talked about upcoming gigs. My childhood friends were horrified, it made clear we were too far apart
	2:24am coelacanth: fred that reminds me of the cure song "how beautiful you are"
	2:28am T GRavel: what an great show gotta catch the rest on the archive bonne nuit
	2:29am Sally: bonne nuit!
	2:30am Fox: ↳ Aitch @2:20 I spent five years thinking myself physically unfuckable, a doctor visit changed that, and two weeks later I started dating a younger man. It lasted six months. Right after it ended, Covid happened. Been alone ever since.
	2:32am Fox: But I joined one of those apps and I might go on an app date for the first time in my life next week. Craziness. I don’t know the rules!
	2:35am Yvang: ↳ coelacanth @2:24 This is the song based on a poem by Baudelaire, same story different words.
	🎙 2:36am Ike: ↳ Fox @2:32 Online dating is like democracy: it's the worst system there is, except for all the others (for me anyway).
	2:39am coelacanth∅: Yvang i think i've heard that. or read that. ... or did i imagine that because the setting is paris!
	2:41am Fox: ↳ Ike @2:36 I’ve never done it before, but on my own I have a dated a disproportionate number of junkies and broke ass Peter Pan Syndrome dudes, so it can’t be worse.
	🎙 2:43am Aitch: I'm scared of Ed Shearing loving ladies that sing along to commercial radio
	🎙 2:44am Ike: ↳ Fox @2:41 As I see it, the things to keep in mind are: You will prob. meet a lot of people with whom you have zero chemistry, so that's why coffee/tea/a drink is preferable to a "real" first date. Be persistent. You will prob. get discouraged. Just keep going. It's a numbers game -- frustrating but true. For some, it's much easier to meet people "in real life" but I've never been good at that. Junkies? Never encountered that on Hinge or Bumble. But they might be on Tinder or Coffee Meets Bagel, ha ha!
	🎙 2:44am Aitch: ↳ Fox @2:41 Did 25 years with an actual demon, but don't want a nanna either.
	2:47am Fox: I think I’ve only been on like five dates in my life.
	2:47am ERIK / VermonT: re Suns of Arqa : as with many music artists catalogs, I recommend starting at the beginnings of career & move forward. I love the first 10+ or so albums. Especially the 1980-1991 era. Earliest still my faves. Revenge of the Mozabites 1980 is a kick.
	🎙 2:49am Ike: JH, don't underestimate housing problems in the UK. My understanding is it's as bad as NYC or worse, esp. in London. I'm no expert but I think they've had ongoing issues with this for decades. The grass isn't always greener.
	2:53am Yvang: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:39 Here's the poem : www.musicfanclubs.org...
	2:56am grtyvr: thank you so much for a great few hours of music.
	🎙 2:57am Scott_Oz: Thanks Jonathan, great sound session mate! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	2:57am Yvang: It's been a delight. A freeform one. Thanks Jonathan!
	🎙 2:58am Aitch: Thanks JH.
	🎙 2:58am Ike: Thanks, JH!
	2:59am Hubig Pie: Hola for the last few notes of one of the best shows
	2:59am coelacanth∅: Yvang yeah that most certainly was Smith's inspiration (at least!)
