	🥁 12:13pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	12:15pm Peter K.: Fun fact: Big Brother and the Holding Company covered "All Is Loneliness" on their first album. They credited Moondog, too -- although their version didn't sound anything like his.

	12:18pm TDK60: ↳ Peter K. @12:15 Peter, yes, a fine cut I think. I still have that first BB&THC LP. Those San Francisco hippies.
	12:18pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @12:02 Hello TDK60!

	12:25pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ prguitar @12:22 I`m good thanks. How are you doing?
	12:28pm alanr: Good morning. It's not a holiday in Mexico, just a normal Sunday, while we wait for the volcano commonly known as El Popo to make up its mind if its just going to keep spewing ash or completely blow! (most likely, the former).
	12:29pm alanr: oops... its MONDAY!
	12:30pm alanr: for those curious: www.youtube.com...
	12:36pm Stork: Howzee, all!! A striking photo, as always, Irene!
	12:40pm Stork: Hermeto's birthday is June 22 (Thursday) - he'll be 87.
	12:41pm Stork: Chime away!!! Yay!!!
	12:43pm Andrew (Fairfax): Birdsongs behind Irene: robins, sparrows and wrens
	12:43pm fred: Early happy birthday, Irene
	12:43pm David in London: All hail the mighty Stork. Hey Fred.
	12:44pm TDK60: Commenter Paul Robeson1922 on another WFMU show linked to an article that traces the first Decoration Day to an event just weeks after the Civil War ended. Just-freed slaves commemorated hundreds of Union prisoners of war who died on a horse raceway turned prison camp in Charleston, South Carolina. The Union prisoners had been treated horribly. "Decoration" refers to flowers put on graves. The holiday wasn't officially observed until a few years later. Article: www.davidwblight.com...
	12:44pm Irene Trudel: Hey Peter, S&M&S, prguitar, alanr, stork, Fairfax Andrew and fred!
	12:45pm Peter K.: So, for those of you keeping score: Sun Ra: May 22 Ben Monder: May 24 Marshall Allen: May 25 Miles Davis: May 26 Moondog: May 26 Theo Bleckmann: May 28 (And, of course, Bob Dylan: May 24.) Who did I leave out?
	12:46pm SecretSquirrel: Loving the show, Irene! Today is Iannis Xenakis and Erich Korngold's birthday...weird pairing. (And a third composer, yrs truly)
	12:47pm SecretSquirrel: And hey there Andrew in Toronto!
	12:47pm Dean: Xenakis and Korngold, fantastic.
	12:48pm fred: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 Mayuko Fujino: May 30 (of course our host too)
	12:49pm katharsis: alanr that sounds anxious making. Is it like watching a hurricane? I am familiar with that. Or like wildfire threat? -also familiar.
	12:50pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Late, By Myself" by "Theo Bleckmann & Ben Monder" A fantastic album - their best collab, sez old me.
	12:51pm TDK60: I like Theo B.'s music. His album 'Elegy' is...well, elegaic. Good for a listen while alone.
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: Was just coming in with Xenakis!
	12:52pm Stork: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 T-Bone Walker - May 28.
	12:52pm fred: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:46 Happy birthday!
	12:52pm Dean: Jade Warrior here resembles Sensation's Fix.
	12:54pm katharsis: Stork I was unable to make it to the club yesterday. I was teaching a workshop.
	12:55pm spodiodi: greetings, Irene and all!
	12:55pm Stork: ↳ TDK60 @12:51 A beautiful ECM recording, as usual!
	12:56pm fred: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 Also, Henry Kissinger who somehow turned 100 on May 27th, proving evil isn't bad for one's health
	12:56pm Peter K.: I'm no expert on astrology, but it does seem like there's something about Geminis and music, doesn't it? (Yes, including our host.)
	12:56pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 Oops, didn't look up Sun Ra. Thanks Peter!
	12:56pm SecretSquirrel: When is/was your birthday, Irene?
	12:57pm fred: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:56 Tomorrow, I think
	12:57pm Irene Trudel: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:46 Thanks S.Squirrel! I don't think I'll get to those two today. (And Happy Birthday yerself!)
	12:58pm David in London: Hey Spod.
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: ↳ fred @12:57 Yes it is.
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: Hi spodiodi!
	1:01pm TDK60: ↳ Stork @12:55 Hi Stork. Yeah, your "as usual" I agree with.
	1:02pm spodiodi: howdy, David (iL)!
	1:05pm Stork: ↳ David in London @12:58 'Tis his DiL-ness!
	1:05pm Nathan corpus colloseum: Irene you fearless in repeating the Buckleys. Keep listening to the music you have been listening to. Shiit it always fliws somewhere anywaaaays
	1:06pm SecretSquirrel: Early happy birthday to you, Irene!!
	1:06pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" by "Jeff Buckley" Just wowie.
	🥁 1:10pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Early Birthday, Irene!!
	1:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Stork @1:06 Both Jeff and Tim talked about the sticky stuff like real ladies men.
	1:15pm spodiodi: ↳ TDK60 @12:51 happy early bday, Irene!
	1:16pm fred: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @1:10 Jeremiah played Bipolar Explorer this Saturday
	1:20pm Nathan corpus colloseum: I am going down by the river where it is warm and green
	1:20pm Sylvia: ↳ fred @1:16 oh really! thank you for the news!!
	1:20pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Roxbury, NY Morning Birds" by "Irene Trudel" the morning birds in Roxbury have a beautiful song
	1:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:20 hi spodi!
	1:24pm fred: ↳ Sylvia @1:20 I wasn't sure it was you but said so anyway, glad I didn't fumble that for a change
	1:26pm spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	1:27pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Nathan and Franco! spodiodi, those birds are always a lovely thing to wake up to (and talk along with).
	1:27pm fred: ↳ Sylvia @1:20 And he didn't know you're a listener, so no favoritism involved there
	1:30pm spodiodi: TDK sorry i put Irene's bday wish and mistakenly referred to you. \\// my sincere apologies 🚣‍♀️
	1:30pm spodiodi: that was phrased poorly, but you know what i mean :-B
	1:31pm Sylvia: ↳ fred @1:27 ha! :D I have to say I don't usually listen to his show, there are only 24h in a day to listen to all the music
	1:31pm fred: ↳ spodiodi @1:30 I wouldn't mind being confused with Irene. Alas, that's unlikely
	1:35pm fred: ↳ Sylvia @1:31 Plus you need hours to make some more music
	1:38pm rw: Good morning! Bill Frisell. Of course. Who else plays guitar like that? Nice.
	1:41pm Sylvia: ↳ fred @1:35 yes!
	🥁 1:41pm Michael 98145: ↳ TDK60 @12:44 Thanks so much for that link ( had to step away from the typewriter for a bit )
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Irene and others
	1:45pm Sylvia: early Joyeux Anniversaire, Irene 💖
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: funny how wfmu has suddenly become all about Dylan after all these years
	1:49pm Dean: Never realized before that half of East/West was recorded at Yoshi's.
	1:50pm Dean: The West half, obvs.
	1:50pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:42 Hi coel!
	1:50pm fred: Did Dylan die again? He should avoid these hot air balloon fests by now
	🥁 1:50pm smit: Finally made it...Hi Irene and all!
	1:52pm Dean: In one important respect Yoshi's is like Fez Under Time Cafe (which is now no more?): Trains run just out the front door of Yoshi's, and the subway runs under Fez. At either venue one can hear them rolling, even during a performance.
	1:52pm Katharsis: Hey Coel
	1:52pm rw: Just leave your warehouse eyes and the Arabian drums by the gate
	🥁 1:54pm David (in London): ↳ fred @1:50 I was thinking that, too, Fred. He really shouldn't be messing around with ballast at his age.
	1:55pm chresti: ↳ rw @1:52 Sad warehouse eyes
	1:55pm Dean: What's sad, the warehouse or the eyes?
	1:56pm Dean: ...or the lady?
	🥁 1:56pm David (in London): ↳ chresti @1:55 Chrestikins!
	1:57pm chresti: Davidkins!
	1:57pm Irene Trudel: Hey coel, smit, rw and chresti!
	1:57pm Dean: I'd like to hear more of Self Portrait, one of several Dylan records I don't have, but at the time of its release, it might have been the first of his I'd acquire. I actually liked "Wigwam."
	1:58pm chresti: Hi Irene!
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @1:54 faith
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: olá Andrew
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: hi Katharsis
	2:00pm rw: Happy Pre-Birthday Irene! Hey chresti, coel, Dean, David and everyone!
	2:01pm chresti: Hi rw!
	🥁 2:01pm David (in London): Coela, rw.
	2:02pm Dean: Howdy, rw.
	🥁 2:03pm Michael 98145: ↳ fred @1:50 😎
	2:04pm Dean: Yoshi's is still there.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	2:09pm rw: Listening to a Procol Harum LP is always a funny experience because every track seems like it's the album closer.
	2:10pm Dean: Yoshi's programming really has gone off the rails a bit. In coming months: David Sanborn (okay, that would have fit in the old days), Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Sir Mix-a-Lot... But then Kurt Elling will appear with Charlie Hunter in October.
	2:12pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @2:01 Hi crestikins!
	2:14pm chresti: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:12 Hi Andrew in TOkins!
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ rw @2:09 interesting observation rw i won't disagree with. i had a similar experience recently with something else but i'm not recalling what album at the moment... i kept thinking this must be the finale, song after song for about 5 songs.
	2:14pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Luskus Delph" by "Procol Harum" I recall Procol Harum did a live on radio concert in NYC during their Broken Barricades tour. (1971?) I used to have a reel-to-reel tape recording of it.
	2:15pm chresti: I've never been to Yoshi's (as far as I know)
	2:17pm Dean: I've only been to the Jack London Square site. It was originally in Berkeley. First visit was when I flew up from Southern California in 1997 to hear three nights--two shows each--of a six-night run from Anthony Braxton's Ghost Trance Music.
	2:18pm Dean: The afternoon I arrived I swung by the downtown Berkeley Public Library, headed up to the music room. They were playing...Anthony Braxton!
	2:19pm rw: coel, right? Song after song. From the get-go a perpetual winding down. Don't get me wrong, I love it. Just a funny experience.
	2:20pm chresti: ↳ Dean @2:18 Wow-I'm also impressed that there's a music room in a library!
	2:22pm Dean: I know. I was impressed, for sure, but it was the old building. After we moved to Berkeley in '01, the building was entirely renovated. I don't believe they play music anymore over the PA.
	2:22pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TDK60 @2:14 In 1973, WNEW-FM in NYC broadcast a live concert with Procol Harum and the Edmunton Symphony. I recorded it on my little portable cassette. (not the same one that came out on album.) Eagerly, I brought it in to my high school radio station to share with others and one of the jerky co-DJs though it was funny to tap the cassette with a bulk eraser, destroying my recording. Oh well!
	2:23pm Irene Trudel: ↳ chresti @2:20 chresti, thank goodness for those! That's where I made some of my earliest musical discoveries.
	2:24pm fred: ↳ Dean @2:18 I once got in a long argument about Braxton with a coworker. Turned out Toni and Anthony are different persons, though neither of us had heard of the "other" Braxton
	2:24pm Dean: Don't tell me: the jerky co-DJ was Adam Carolla? (Thought of him because a track featuring him was recently played on WFMU.)
	2:25pm Dean: ...or are they, @fred, hmmm?
	🥁 2:26pm Michael 98145: a local trend i have to investigate: some of the local breweries are holding vinyl-playing evenings ...
	2:26pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @2:24 Nope. Thankfully I've lost track of him a long time ago.
	2:27pm Dean: I used to do a double-take when I'd see the name Toni Braxton in the newspaper. Is he in town?! Same thing when I used to see Claus Ogerman, whom I would confuse with Franz Koglmann.
	🥁 2:28pm David (in London): I think the phrase 'Toni Braxton is high in the charts' caused more than a few people to have a fit of the vapours back in the day.
	2:29pm chresti: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:23 I remember checking records out from the library in Santa Maria when my family lived there- did not have a music room though
	2:29pm BenZ WPB: Not familiar with Peter Knight but this sounds great. Real peaceful
	2:31pm Dean: Nor I, but his tone reminds me of Gidon Kremer's ECM traversal of Bach's Sonatas & Partitas.
	2:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:26 hopefully not before somehow ruining his djing career
	2:33pm Irene Trudel: ↳ BenZ WPB @2:29 Peter Knight was a member of Steeleye Span. Years ago he was living in New Jersey and recorded this solo album at Mix-o-lydian Studio, which a friend runs. I got to sit in and watch as he recorded a couple of the tracks.
	🥁 2:33pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @2:29 sadly, i don't think i've ever encountered a library w/ a music room -- what a great idea
	2:35pm Andrew in Toronto: What another lovely show! Thanks Irene!
	🥁 2:35pm Michael 98145: i -am- old enough to remember record store listening booths -
	2:36pm northguineahills: phew, made it...
	🥁 2:36pm βrian: I'm a late arrival today. Busy prepping scallops.
	2:36pm Dean: I have a vague recollection of a music store--records, instruments, sheet music--with listening booths in the old covered mall in Whittier.
	2:36pm TDK60: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:33 Michael, luckily my hometown library had one of those. You had to use headphones.
	2:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:33 i remember music libraries w/ music listening stations (part of the reason I got a waiver to take music classes at the music college at uni [as i wasn't a music major])
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite wfmu tshirts depicts something like the listening stations of more recent times. no booths, just headphones.
	2:37pm Dean: Down Home Records has two CD players with headphones affixed for sampling discs.
	2:38pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @2:36 I love Phew, your intro made me think I missed something
	2:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:33 woaaah!
	🥁 2:38pm David (in London): Listening booths with Perspex bubbles to put one's head in are the bomb.
	2:38pm Dean: In the LP room, Down Home has a turntable for spinning used vinyl.
	2:41pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:38 still wish she would release a record w/ that title, so we can interpret whether it's an eponymous release or just a long wait in b/tn releases...
	🥁 2:41pm βrian: I discovered Ottorino Respighi in the listening library.
	🥁 2:42pm smit: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:33 Hey Michael, Irene and my friend, Peter Biedermann plays libraries all around the North East Corridor while he lived here in Jersey and comes back every Fall since he moved to Arizona to play libraries and makes a pretty penny in doing so!
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: each of the 2 previous rhino records stores here had a turntable, chair & headphones near the register. i think the current location is too small to fit that.
	2:42pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:37 i have never used listening stations at a record stations (i refuse to listen to records before buying, lest the experience bias my decision to buy or not)
	🥁 2:43pm βrian: Me, I just never buy.
	2:44pm Webhamster Henry: Hammered dulcimer alert!
	🥁 2:44pm Michael 98145: ↳ smit @2:42 i would love to hear something like that
	2:44pm Dean: If you still dig Respighi, @βrian, try this: https://www.discogs.com/release/15937845-Respighi-Riccardo-Chailly-Filarmonica-Della-Scala-Respighi
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Been listening in transit, Happy Birthday Eve, Irene!
	2:45pm Irene Trudel: A late 'hello' to you, n.g.h., βrian an WHenry!
	🥁 2:45pm βrian: ↳ Dean @2:44 Ooh. Thanks.
	2:46pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @2:42 (haven't set foot in a record store since 2012, my ex banned me when our apt started to run out of room.)
	🥁 2:46pm smit: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:44 Ha...Indeed!
	2:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @2:42 i used to, when i could afford to buy at such stores that would have multiple-person listening stations. the added bonus was that it seemed to be a hot pick-up scenario!
	2:46pm BenZ WPB: I never listen to a record on a turntable at a record store. Just buy the damn record. Kind of like the people requesting all the little ice cream samples on the little spoons at the store. Just pick a flavor already!
	2:47pm Dean: Here's Fanfare's Steven Kruger on the Chailly Respighi: "This is quite a wonderful release. The Milan La Scala Philharmonic is deeply engaged and rich in creamy sonority and atmosphere. This is a weighty orchestra of 135 players, most surely onstage here. The woodwinds glow. You will not find more seductive Respighi anywhere."
	2:48pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @2:41 Still one of the best live shows I ever attended
	🥁 2:49pm βrian: If you're at a library, of course, you can't buy it. But you can listen. listen, listen.
	2:50pm Irene Trudel: ↳ BenZ WPB @2:46 Well, with vinyl prices at $40 or so (Hermeto Pascoal's latest on sale at shows) I usually pass. I long for the days back in high school where I used to get 3 LPs for $10! Then I could take a chance on something I'd never heard before.
	🥁 2:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:50 Yes $1.99 LPs at Discount Records. Great times.
	2:51pm coelacanth∅: but the point of a "lending library" is that you can take it home without buying; so why listen to it there?
	🥁 2:51pm David (in London): Gotta split now, just before the end. Thanks Irene, great show today. Later groovers. Have a good week.
	2:52pm rw: But I remember $3 being kind of a big deal back then.
	2:52pm TDK60: The NYC Library for Performing Arts has a listening room. Stuff that's been taken out of circulation is there. I go sometimes. But I prefer to take physical copies home to listen. I think the library takes too many things out of circulation. Especially older rock.
	2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Aljibe" by "Paolo Angeli" nice chiterra sarda!
	2:52pm Irene Trudel: Hey thanks for all the pre-birthday wishes and for listening in today! I'll be back next Monday at noon. Do stay tuned for Wreck Your Own Adventure with Wendy, up next on GTDR! wfmu.org...
	2:52pm rw: Later D(iL)!
	2:52pm northguineahills: laters, David! fantastic last 30 minutes (and I imagine the preceding 150 minutes as well). Thanks, Irene!
	2:53pm TDK60: See ya later, David in London. \|\| And thanks, DJ Irene!
	🥁 2:53pm Michael 98145: Have a Happy Birthday -- thank you, again!
	2:53pm spodiodi: thank you, Irene , for another wonderful show. you make Monday mornings enjoyable
	2:54pm BenZ WPB: Jimmy’s Music World on Long Island in the late 70’s. $2.99 for new records. Of course they could not survive and went out of business
	2:54pm fred: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:50 Sticker shock is real. I bailed on a couple of dance shows because of it already
	2:54pm rw: Thanks Irene. Take care everyone! (Thought I'll probably be back on the comments soon... trying to finish up some work on a holiday)
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: 1.99, 2.50, 3 bucks... i'd buy 15 albums i'd never heard of before based on the covers or song titles. but one would have to be a moron to not listen to a used record now before buying at a record store with a no-return policy
	2:55pm rw: (Though)
	2:56pm Dean: My first day at Music+, 1978, I was charged with changing the stickers on ordinary single LPs from $2.99 to $3.99.
	2:56pm Erik/VermonT: Irene (et al) : indeed the cost of those vinyls at live concerts (recently VIJAY IYER & co) were $40 !?! - redonkulous, imo. Thanks for the continued Theo Bleckmann education..(Stork’s show Sunday was stellar !!!). & I can’t believe I’ve slept on Jade Warrior all these years. - thanks to WFMU replaying them, I have much to discover yet. Appreciate all y’all & what y’all give & share with us !
	🥁 2:56pm smit: Thanks, Irene...I'll have to listen back later, as I missed Jade Warrior...WNEW used to play them all the time. Have a great rest of your day to you and everyone!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Irene!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irene and Happy birthday!
	2:57pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Erik/VermonT @2:56 There's a show Theo did for me back in 2000 with John Hollenbeck. So great! I'll post the link later.
	2:58pm fred: Again, early happy birthday Irene!
	2:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Malaika" by "Ed Gerhard" Lovely close to the show, feel like I'm in the Islands!
	2:59pm Erik/VermonT: Oh yea. Re hermeto p; lucky enough to see at Dartmouth! I wanted to buy everything he had on his merch table ! so wish I had … & immediately wanted to see him again in concert !
	2:59pm prguitar: I'm doing well Andrew, enjoying this relatively quiet NYC weekend.. save for the visiting fighter jets Irene mentioned earlier.. My Dad passed a year ago in mid May, his spirit right there with those jets, moving too fast for a physical hug, but certainly a salute from my fifth floor window... Memorial Day has taken on more significance, now that he is no longer with us. Dad served in the 8th Air Force during WW ll. Stationed in the UK, he was a bombardier and bomb sight technician, remaining in service and retiring from the Air Force Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel. Thanks Irene for this special show.. My Dad instilled the joy of music in this life.. As an aeronautics engineer after the war, he was fascinated with Hi Fi audio, along with possessing the skills to build his own system. I miss him dearly... Hope to cross paths with you soon! xoxoP

	3:05pm Irene Trudel: ↳ prguitar @2:59 Thanks for telling us about your dad, prguitar! Sorry for your loss, no matter when it occurred.

	12:28pm alanr: Good morning. It's not a holiday in Mexico, just a normal Sunday, while we wait for the volcano commonly known as El Popo to make up its mind if its just going to keep spewing ash or completely blow! (most likely, the former).
	12:29pm alanr: oops... its MONDAY!
	12:30pm alanr: for those curious: www.youtube.com...
	12:36pm Stork: Howzee, all!! A striking photo, as always, Irene!
	12:40pm Stork: Hermeto's birthday is June 22 (Thursday) - he'll be 87.
	12:41pm Stork: Chime away!!! Yay!!!
	12:43pm Andrew (Fairfax): Birdsongs behind Irene: robins, sparrows and wrens
	12:43pm fred: Early happy birthday, Irene
	12:43pm David in London: All hail the mighty Stork. Hey Fred.
	12:44pm TDK60: Commenter Paul Robeson1922 on another WFMU show linked to an article that traces the first Decoration Day to an event just weeks after the Civil War ended. Just-freed slaves commemorated hundreds of Union prisoners of war who died on a horse raceway turned prison camp in Charleston, South Carolina. The Union prisoners had been treated horribly. "Decoration" refers to flowers put on graves. The holiday wasn't officially observed until a few years later. Article: www.davidwblight.com...
	12:44pm Irene Trudel: Hey Peter, S&M&S, prguitar, alanr, stork, Fairfax Andrew and fred!
	12:45pm Peter K.: So, for those of you keeping score: Sun Ra: May 22 Ben Monder: May 24 Marshall Allen: May 25 Miles Davis: May 26 Moondog: May 26 Theo Bleckmann: May 28 (And, of course, Bob Dylan: May 24.) Who did I leave out?
	12:46pm SecretSquirrel: Loving the show, Irene! Today is Iannis Xenakis and Erich Korngold's birthday...weird pairing. (And a third composer, yrs truly)
	12:47pm SecretSquirrel: And hey there Andrew in Toronto!
	12:47pm Dean: Xenakis and Korngold, fantastic.
	12:48pm fred: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 Mayuko Fujino: May 30 (of course our host too)
	12:49pm katharsis: alanr that sounds anxious making. Is it like watching a hurricane? I am familiar with that. Or like wildfire threat? -also familiar.
	12:50pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Late, By Myself" by "Theo Bleckmann & Ben Monder" A fantastic album - their best collab, sez old me.
	12:51pm TDK60: I like Theo B.'s music. His album 'Elegy' is...well, elegaic. Good for a listen while alone.
	12:51pm listener james from westwood: Was just coming in with Xenakis!
	12:52pm Stork: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 T-Bone Walker - May 28.
	12:52pm fred: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:46 Happy birthday!
	12:52pm Dean: Jade Warrior here resembles Sensation's Fix.
	12:54pm katharsis: Stork I was unable to make it to the club yesterday. I was teaching a workshop.
	12:55pm spodiodi: greetings, Irene and all!
	12:55pm Stork: ↳ TDK60 @12:51 A beautiful ECM recording, as usual!
	12:56pm fred: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 Also, Henry Kissinger who somehow turned 100 on May 27th, proving evil isn't bad for one's health
	12:56pm Peter K.: I'm no expert on astrology, but it does seem like there's something about Geminis and music, doesn't it? (Yes, including our host.)
	12:56pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Peter K. @12:45 Oops, didn't look up Sun Ra. Thanks Peter!
	12:56pm SecretSquirrel: When is/was your birthday, Irene?
	12:57pm fred: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:56 Tomorrow, I think
	12:57pm Irene Trudel: ↳ SecretSquirrel @12:46 Thanks S.Squirrel! I don't think I'll get to those two today. (And Happy Birthday yerself!)
	12:58pm David in London: Hey Spod.
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: ↳ fred @12:57 Yes it is.
	12:58pm Irene Trudel: Hi spodiodi!
	1:01pm TDK60: ↳ Stork @12:55 Hi Stork. Yeah, your "as usual" I agree with.
	1:02pm spodiodi: howdy, David (iL)!
	1:05pm Stork: ↳ David in London @12:58 'Tis his DiL-ness!
	1:05pm Nathan corpus colloseum: Irene you fearless in repeating the Buckleys. Keep listening to the music you have been listening to. Shiit it always fliws somewhere anywaaaays
	1:06pm SecretSquirrel: Early happy birthday to you, Irene!!
	1:06pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Lover, You Should Have Come Over" by "Jeff Buckley" Just wowie.
	🥁 1:10pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy Early Birthday, Irene!!
	1:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Stork @1:06 Both Jeff and Tim talked about the sticky stuff like real ladies men.
	1:15pm spodiodi: ↳ TDK60 @12:51 happy early bday, Irene!
	1:16pm fred: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @1:10 Jeremiah played Bipolar Explorer this Saturday
	1:20pm Nathan corpus colloseum: I am going down by the river where it is warm and green
	1:20pm Sylvia: ↳ fred @1:16 oh really! thank you for the news!!
	1:20pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Roxbury, NY Morning Birds" by "Irene Trudel" the morning birds in Roxbury have a beautiful song
	1:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:20 hi spodi!
	1:24pm fred: ↳ Sylvia @1:20 I wasn't sure it was you but said so anyway, glad I didn't fumble that for a change
	1:26pm spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	1:27pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Nathan and Franco! spodiodi, those birds are always a lovely thing to wake up to (and talk along with).
	1:27pm fred: ↳ Sylvia @1:20 And he didn't know you're a listener, so no favoritism involved there
	1:30pm spodiodi: TDK sorry i put Irene's bday wish and mistakenly referred to you. \\// my sincere apologies 🚣‍♀️
	1:30pm spodiodi: that was phrased poorly, but you know what i mean :-B
	1:31pm Sylvia: ↳ fred @1:27 ha! :D I have to say I don't usually listen to his show, there are only 24h in a day to listen to all the music
	1:31pm fred: ↳ spodiodi @1:30 I wouldn't mind being confused with Irene. Alas, that's unlikely
	1:35pm fred: ↳ Sylvia @1:31 Plus you need hours to make some more music
	1:38pm rw: Good morning! Bill Frisell. Of course. Who else plays guitar like that? Nice.
	1:41pm Sylvia: ↳ fred @1:35 yes!
	🥁 1:41pm Michael 98145: ↳ TDK60 @12:44 Thanks so much for that link ( had to step away from the typewriter for a bit )
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Irene and others
	1:45pm Sylvia: early Joyeux Anniversaire, Irene 💖
	1:46pm coelacanth∅: funny how wfmu has suddenly become all about Dylan after all these years
	1:49pm Dean: Never realized before that half of East/West was recorded at Yoshi's.
	1:50pm Dean: The West half, obvs.
	1:50pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:42 Hi coel!
	1:50pm fred: Did Dylan die again? He should avoid these hot air balloon fests by now
	🥁 1:50pm smit: Finally made it...Hi Irene and all!
	1:52pm Dean: In one important respect Yoshi's is like Fez Under Time Cafe (which is now no more?): Trains run just out the front door of Yoshi's, and the subway runs under Fez. At either venue one can hear them rolling, even during a performance.
	1:52pm Katharsis: Hey Coel
	1:52pm rw: Just leave your warehouse eyes and the Arabian drums by the gate
	🥁 1:54pm David (in London): ↳ fred @1:50 I was thinking that, too, Fred. He really shouldn't be messing around with ballast at his age.
	1:55pm chresti: ↳ rw @1:52 Sad warehouse eyes
	1:55pm Dean: What's sad, the warehouse or the eyes?
	1:56pm Dean: ...or the lady?
	🥁 1:56pm David (in London): ↳ chresti @1:55 Chrestikins!
	1:57pm chresti: Davidkins!
	1:57pm Irene Trudel: Hey coel, smit, rw and chresti!
	1:57pm Dean: I'd like to hear more of Self Portrait, one of several Dylan records I don't have, but at the time of its release, it might have been the first of his I'd acquire. I actually liked "Wigwam."
	1:58pm chresti: Hi Irene!
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @1:54 faith
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: olá Andrew
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: hi Katharsis
	2:00pm rw: Happy Pre-Birthday Irene! Hey chresti, coel, Dean, David and everyone!
	2:01pm chresti: Hi rw!
	🥁 2:01pm David (in London): Coela, rw.
	2:02pm Dean: Howdy, rw.
	🥁 2:03pm Michael 98145: ↳ fred @1:50 😎
	2:04pm Dean: Yoshi's is still there.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	2:09pm rw: Listening to a Procol Harum LP is always a funny experience because every track seems like it's the album closer.
	2:10pm Dean: Yoshi's programming really has gone off the rails a bit. In coming months: David Sanborn (okay, that would have fit in the old days), Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Sir Mix-a-Lot... But then Kurt Elling will appear with Charlie Hunter in October.
	2:12pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @2:01 Hi crestikins!
	2:14pm chresti: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:12 Hi Andrew in TOkins!
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ rw @2:09 interesting observation rw i won't disagree with. i had a similar experience recently with something else but i'm not recalling what album at the moment... i kept thinking this must be the finale, song after song for about 5 songs.
	2:14pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Luskus Delph" by "Procol Harum" I recall Procol Harum did a live on radio concert in NYC during their Broken Barricades tour. (1971?) I used to have a reel-to-reel tape recording of it.
	2:15pm chresti: I've never been to Yoshi's (as far as I know)
	2:17pm Dean: I've only been to the Jack London Square site. It was originally in Berkeley. First visit was when I flew up from Southern California in 1997 to hear three nights--two shows each--of a six-night run from Anthony Braxton's Ghost Trance Music.
	2:18pm Dean: The afternoon I arrived I swung by the downtown Berkeley Public Library, headed up to the music room. They were playing...Anthony Braxton!
	2:19pm rw: coel, right? Song after song. From the get-go a perpetual winding down. Don't get me wrong, I love it. Just a funny experience.
	2:20pm chresti: ↳ Dean @2:18 Wow-I'm also impressed that there's a music room in a library!
	2:22pm Dean: I know. I was impressed, for sure, but it was the old building. After we moved to Berkeley in '01, the building was entirely renovated. I don't believe they play music anymore over the PA.
	2:22pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TDK60 @2:14 In 1973, WNEW-FM in NYC broadcast a live concert with Procol Harum and the Edmunton Symphony. I recorded it on my little portable cassette. (not the same one that came out on album.) Eagerly, I brought it in to my high school radio station to share with others and one of the jerky co-DJs though it was funny to tap the cassette with a bulk eraser, destroying my recording. Oh well!
	2:23pm Irene Trudel: ↳ chresti @2:20 chresti, thank goodness for those! That's where I made some of my earliest musical discoveries.
	2:24pm fred: ↳ Dean @2:18 I once got in a long argument about Braxton with a coworker. Turned out Toni and Anthony are different persons, though neither of us had heard of the "other" Braxton
	2:24pm Dean: Don't tell me: the jerky co-DJ was Adam Carolla? (Thought of him because a track featuring him was recently played on WFMU.)
	2:25pm Dean: ...or are they, @fred, hmmm?
	🥁 2:26pm Michael 98145: a local trend i have to investigate: some of the local breweries are holding vinyl-playing evenings ...
	2:26pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @2:24 Nope. Thankfully I've lost track of him a long time ago.
	2:27pm Dean: I used to do a double-take when I'd see the name Toni Braxton in the newspaper. Is he in town?! Same thing when I used to see Claus Ogerman, whom I would confuse with Franz Koglmann.
	🥁 2:28pm David (in London): I think the phrase 'Toni Braxton is high in the charts' caused more than a few people to have a fit of the vapours back in the day.
	2:29pm chresti: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:23 I remember checking records out from the library in Santa Maria when my family lived there- did not have a music room though
	2:29pm BenZ WPB: Not familiar with Peter Knight but this sounds great. Real peaceful
	2:31pm Dean: Nor I, but his tone reminds me of Gidon Kremer's ECM traversal of Bach's Sonatas & Partitas.
	2:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:26 hopefully not before somehow ruining his djing career
	2:33pm Irene Trudel: ↳ BenZ WPB @2:29 Peter Knight was a member of Steeleye Span. Years ago he was living in New Jersey and recorded this solo album at Mix-o-lydian Studio, which a friend runs. I got to sit in and watch as he recorded a couple of the tracks.
	🥁 2:33pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @2:29 sadly, i don't think i've ever encountered a library w/ a music room -- what a great idea
	2:35pm Andrew in Toronto: What another lovely show! Thanks Irene!
	🥁 2:35pm Michael 98145: i -am- old enough to remember record store listening booths -
	2:36pm northguineahills: phew, made it...
	🥁 2:36pm βrian: I'm a late arrival today. Busy prepping scallops.
	2:36pm Dean: I have a vague recollection of a music store--records, instruments, sheet music--with listening booths in the old covered mall in Whittier.
	2:36pm TDK60: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:33 Michael, luckily my hometown library had one of those. You had to use headphones.
	2:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:33 i remember music libraries w/ music listening stations (part of the reason I got a waiver to take music classes at the music college at uni [as i wasn't a music major])
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite wfmu tshirts depicts something like the listening stations of more recent times. no booths, just headphones.
	2:37pm Dean: Down Home Records has two CD players with headphones affixed for sampling discs.
	2:38pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @2:36 I love Phew, your intro made me think I missed something
	2:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:33 woaaah!
	🥁 2:38pm David (in London): Listening booths with Perspex bubbles to put one's head in are the bomb.
	2:38pm Dean: In the LP room, Down Home has a turntable for spinning used vinyl.
	2:41pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:38 still wish she would release a record w/ that title, so we can interpret whether it's an eponymous release or just a long wait in b/tn releases...
	🥁 2:41pm βrian: I discovered Ottorino Respighi in the listening library.
	🥁 2:42pm smit: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:33 Hey Michael, Irene and my friend, Peter Biedermann plays libraries all around the North East Corridor while he lived here in Jersey and comes back every Fall since he moved to Arizona to play libraries and makes a pretty penny in doing so!
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: each of the 2 previous rhino records stores here had a turntable, chair & headphones near the register. i think the current location is too small to fit that.
	2:42pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:37 i have never used listening stations at a record stations (i refuse to listen to records before buying, lest the experience bias my decision to buy or not)
	🥁 2:43pm βrian: Me, I just never buy.
	2:44pm Webhamster Henry: Hammered dulcimer alert!
	🥁 2:44pm Michael 98145: ↳ smit @2:42 i would love to hear something like that
	2:44pm Dean: If you still dig Respighi, @βrian, try this: https://www.discogs.com/release/15937845-Respighi-Riccardo-Chailly-Filarmonica-Della-Scala-Respighi
	2:45pm doctorjazz: Been listening in transit, Happy Birthday Eve, Irene!
	2:45pm Irene Trudel: A late 'hello' to you, n.g.h., βrian an WHenry!
	🥁 2:45pm βrian: ↳ Dean @2:44 Ooh. Thanks.
	2:46pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @2:42 (haven't set foot in a record store since 2012, my ex banned me when our apt started to run out of room.)
	🥁 2:46pm smit: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:44 Ha...Indeed!
	2:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @2:42 i used to, when i could afford to buy at such stores that would have multiple-person listening stations. the added bonus was that it seemed to be a hot pick-up scenario!
	2:46pm BenZ WPB: I never listen to a record on a turntable at a record store. Just buy the damn record. Kind of like the people requesting all the little ice cream samples on the little spoons at the store. Just pick a flavor already!
	2:47pm Dean: Here's Fanfare's Steven Kruger on the Chailly Respighi: "This is quite a wonderful release. The Milan La Scala Philharmonic is deeply engaged and rich in creamy sonority and atmosphere. This is a weighty orchestra of 135 players, most surely onstage here. The woodwinds glow. You will not find more seductive Respighi anywhere."
	2:48pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @2:41 Still one of the best live shows I ever attended
	🥁 2:49pm βrian: If you're at a library, of course, you can't buy it. But you can listen. listen, listen.
	2:50pm Irene Trudel: ↳ BenZ WPB @2:46 Well, with vinyl prices at $40 or so (Hermeto Pascoal's latest on sale at shows) I usually pass. I long for the days back in high school where I used to get 3 LPs for $10! Then I could take a chance on something I'd never heard before.
	🥁 2:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:50 Yes $1.99 LPs at Discount Records. Great times.
	2:51pm coelacanth∅: but the point of a "lending library" is that you can take it home without buying; so why listen to it there?
	🥁 2:51pm David (in London): Gotta split now, just before the end. Thanks Irene, great show today. Later groovers. Have a good week.
	2:52pm rw: But I remember $3 being kind of a big deal back then.
	2:52pm TDK60: The NYC Library for Performing Arts has a listening room. Stuff that's been taken out of circulation is there. I go sometimes. But I prefer to take physical copies home to listen. I think the library takes too many things out of circulation. Especially older rock.
	2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Aljibe" by "Paolo Angeli" nice chiterra sarda!
	2:52pm Irene Trudel: Hey thanks for all the pre-birthday wishes and for listening in today! I'll be back next Monday at noon. Do stay tuned for Wreck Your Own Adventure with Wendy, up next on GTDR! wfmu.org...
	2:52pm rw: Later D(iL)!
	2:52pm northguineahills: laters, David! fantastic last 30 minutes (and I imagine the preceding 150 minutes as well). Thanks, Irene!
	2:53pm TDK60: See ya later, David in London. \|\| And thanks, DJ Irene!
	🥁 2:53pm Michael 98145: Have a Happy Birthday -- thank you, again!
	2:53pm spodiodi: thank you, Irene , for another wonderful show. you make Monday mornings enjoyable
	2:54pm BenZ WPB: Jimmy’s Music World on Long Island in the late 70’s. $2.99 for new records. Of course they could not survive and went out of business
	2:54pm fred: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:50 Sticker shock is real. I bailed on a couple of dance shows because of it already
	2:54pm rw: Thanks Irene. Take care everyone! (Thought I'll probably be back on the comments soon... trying to finish up some work on a holiday)
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: 1.99, 2.50, 3 bucks... i'd buy 15 albums i'd never heard of before based on the covers or song titles. but one would have to be a moron to not listen to a used record now before buying at a record store with a no-return policy
	2:55pm rw: (Though)
	2:56pm Dean: My first day at Music+, 1978, I was charged with changing the stickers on ordinary single LPs from $2.99 to $3.99.
	2:56pm Erik/VermonT: Irene (et al) : indeed the cost of those vinyls at live concerts (recently VIJAY IYER & co) were $40 !?! - redonkulous, imo. Thanks for the continued Theo Bleckmann education..(Stork’s show Sunday was stellar !!!). & I can’t believe I’ve slept on Jade Warrior all these years. - thanks to WFMU replaying them, I have much to discover yet. Appreciate all y’all & what y’all give & share with us !
	🥁 2:56pm smit: Thanks, Irene...I'll have to listen back later, as I missed Jade Warrior...WNEW used to play them all the time. Have a great rest of your day to you and everyone!
	2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Irene!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irene and Happy birthday!
	2:57pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Erik/VermonT @2:56 There's a show Theo did for me back in 2000 with John Hollenbeck. So great! I'll post the link later.
	2:58pm fred: Again, early happy birthday Irene!
	2:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Malaika" by "Ed Gerhard" Lovely close to the show, feel like I'm in the Islands!
	2:59pm Erik/VermonT: Oh yea. Re hermeto p; lucky enough to see at Dartmouth! I wanted to buy everything he had on his merch table ! so wish I had … & immediately wanted to see him again in concert !
	2:59pm prguitar: I'm doing well Andrew, enjoying this relatively quiet NYC weekend.. save for the visiting fighter jets Irene mentioned earlier.. My Dad passed a year ago in mid May, his spirit right there with those jets, moving too fast for a physical hug, but certainly a salute from my fifth floor window... Memorial Day has taken on more significance, now that he is no longer with us. Dad served in the 8th Air Force during WW ll. Stationed in the UK, he was a bombardier and bomb sight technician, remaining in service and retiring from the Air Force Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel. Thanks Irene for this special show.. My Dad instilled the joy of music in this life.. As an aeronautics engineer after the war, he was fascinated with Hi Fi audio, along with possessing the skills to build his own system. I miss him dearly... Hope to cross paths with you soon! xoxoP
	2:59pm Andrew (Fairfax): nice set
	3:04pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Erik/VermonT @2:56 Here's the link to that show Theo Bleckmann & John Hollenbeck did live for me: wfmu.org...
	3:05pm Irene Trudel: ↳ prguitar @2:59 Thanks for telling us about your dad, prguitar! Sorry for your loss, no matter when it occurred.
