	12:15pm waters7: has anyone been listening to the podcast "history of rock in 500 songs". The one on Les Paul was great.

	12:41pm Stanley: The Goddess: youtu.be... Wistful gif at 8:15
	12:42pm tim: ↳ Song: a song Let it blurt!
	12:45pm tim: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:39 Hey Jack! I swear on Isaac Hayes' grave that I had nothing to do with Joe Belock going MIA in Memphis. I did buy him a couple beers which may have contributed though.
	12:46pm 24ducklings: nice to hear you again Monica :^)
	12:48pm tim: This set's on fire, Monica!
	12:49pm Monica: Thx so much, 24ducklings!
	12:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:39 Hi, Jack. Putting on the good pants over here since it's a Monica show this afternoon.
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	12:50pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ tim @12:45 Hahaha ok. I trust you had an amazing time!
	12:51pm Bob from poughkeepsie: Hi Monica, great show to wake up to.Hope all is well.
	12:51pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ love2laf @12:40 Feelies, The Bongos, and Lenny Kaye at the Hoboken Fest yesterday made it a great weekend! I hope yours was groovy too.
	12:51pm Monica: Hey there, Bob from poughkeepsie!
	12:52pm Matt Fiveash: Hit after hit!
	12:53pm love2laf: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:51 Not nearly as groovy, but accomplished many chores that need doing before winter. WFMU did not let me down in the music department. Glad you had a fun and musical weekend.
	12:54pm tim: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:50 It really was. Great bands, great folks to hang out with. I've never seen so many t-shirts of good bands in one place - haha! Whenever Joe resurfaces ask him about the afterparty with The Shitty Stones.
	12:54pm Monica: Hahaha, Matt Fiveash!
	12:55pm tim: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:51 Wow! Sounds like you had a pretty good weekend too, Jack!
	12:57pm Matt Fiveash: Also, happy belated birthday to the People's Champ (yesterday). It's an easy one for me to remember as it is also the birthday of my mom. And Walter Matthau
	12:57pm Greg From Brooklyn: Always so happy when you are back on FMU Monica!
	12:57pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Locomia" by "Loco Mía" OMG LOCOMIA!!! thank you Monica 😻😻
	12:58pm spodiodi: aloha, Handy Haversack!
	12:58pm Monica: Hi Greg f/BK!!
	12:59pm tim: ↳ Matt Fiveash @12:57 That's right! Happy birthday to the Champ! And Mrs. Fiveash too!
	12:59pm slugluv1313: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:51 hi Jack! oh how i wish i could have been there -- my friend Karyn's band was playing too -- glad you got to go!
	1:00pm Chris Hiatt: Some of my favorite bed music right here.
	1:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: The "Chopsicks" part of the bed music seems quite a bit like the one in the Jetsons opening theme song.
	1:02pm love2laf: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:00 Agreed, I just love the cheery, happy version of Sedated, makes me smile every time.
	1:04pm Carmichael: Heya Monica and listeners. Good to see your voice again.
	1:04pm Mick: Happy birthday Joe Belock, and happy Belocktoberfest!!!
	1:05pm Karl: ↳ Mick @1:04 OK, so, I know Hoboken Jack is here, and he has the connections and gusto to make this happen. BELOCKTOBERFEST. Let's do it. Minimum requirements are an open air biergarten and amazing bands.
	1:06pm chresti: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:00 Same!
	1:06pm Monica: Hi Carmichael and Karl!
	1:07pm CC: Pickin up some q tip at the store today
	1:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Karl @1:05 The deli sandwiches for sale will be not quite fully cut through.
	1:08pm tim: ↳ Karl @1:05 That's a brilliant idea!
	1:08pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ slugluv1313 @12:59 She's my friend too and was great! The good news is she seems re-energized about playing so we should get another chance to see them soon!
	1:08pm Karl: ↳ Monica @1:06 Hello! Sounding great! ATCQ forever.
	1:09pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Karl @1:05 I'm Cheryl the Music Nerd, and I approve this message.
	1:10pm Monica: well alright now, CC!
	1:10pm Mick: ↳ Karl @1:05 I feel like this could be a thing...
	1:10pm clarke: Sir, this is a Wendy's drive-thru!!
	1:10pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Subito" by "Moebius & Beerbohm" Weeee!
	1:11pm Mick: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:08 Such a great show!!
	1:11pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Monica and all!
	1:12pm Monica: Hello, Crosby in NC!
	1:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Karl @1:08 I'm in the midst of teaching the Station Eleven HBO series and they make such great use of Tribe. Music direction on that series is superb. (Liza Richardson is no joke.)
	1:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" Pretty different from the First Aid Kit cover. Someone alert Mary Wing!
	1:17pm disco_nap_: Been boppin’ around my apartment to this amazing set, thank you DJ Monica!
	1:17pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" sounds great
	1:17pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" Very season selection.
	1:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" Nice L Cohen re-interpretation
	1:19pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Re-Hab" by "Stew" This could pass for a Shel Silverstein composition (give or take the Save Ferris namecheck)!
	1:20pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Re-Hab" by "Stew" Stew is so funny.
	1:20pm Clincher16": ↳ The Oscar @1:19 Yes indeed!
	1:20pm slugluv1313: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:08 that is wonderful to hear! i was so happy to see her on the festival's list of musicians (& thoroughly bummed that i could not be there to see her!)
	1:21pm Monica: Yo, disco_nap, Frank ZaatarThe Oscar, and Clincher16"!
	1:21pm Karl: Web design, late 90s drug of choice
	1:22pm Jeezuseffinchrist: wow this guy is a DB
	1:22pm Monica: Hello, Jeezuseffinchrist.
	1:23pm Jeezuseffinchrist: lol Hi Monica <3
	1:26pm tim: ↳ Song: "In Your Mind" by "Bryan Ferry" Yes!
	1:27pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "In Your Mind" by "Bryan Ferry" I know you're gonna come through with a Bryan Ferry winner every time, Monica. <3 <3
	1:27pm listener 126464: Hey Monica, everyone. More airplay for Stew/The Negro Problem, please!
	1:27pm Carmichael: was given a collection of Bryan Ferry covers of Dylan. Still not sure how I feel about it ...
	1:28pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @1:27 i know how i feel.
	1:29pm Monica: listener 126464 - hello and yup!
	1:29pm Carmichael: Ha, then it's NOT me, for once.
	1:30pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @1:29 it's ALWAYS you carmichael!!!
	1:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Carmichael @1:27 I like that record but not as much as I like the "Hard Rain" cover on "These Foolish Things" which kind of pulls that whole song apart and puts it back together
	1:30pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @1:29 You're right. It's always clarke!
	1:31pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:30 But I'm a sucker for Bryan Ferry!
	1:31pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:30 Timothy, this is a library.
	1:31pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:30 so... what's the nola band you wanted to tell me about?
	1:32pm clarke: belock sounds.. different.
	1:35pm Chris Hiatt: Swedish Death Cleanse? I love that band! Oh, wait...
	1:36pm clarke: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:35 their second album? meh.
	1:36pm Karl: Monica: consider donating the collection to a music library (e.g. NYU)!
	1:36pm listener 126464: Save them for the 3rd CD revival.
	1:36pm whereswardo: Die with them. Let someone deal with them when you’re gone. Make a list.
	1:36pm chresti: Same- many cds and no cd player!
	1:36pm love2laf: I think if you don't actually use the cds, take pictures of it, rip it to a file, and pass the joy on.
	1:37pm tim: ↳ clarke @1:31 Hahaha! Yes. They're called the Shitty Stones. They're a Stones cover band but they're awesome. Drunk, out of tune and full of heart. Everyone, I mean everyone in the room was into it. Jack Oblivion played next. Before he started he said "The Stones are my favorite band in the whole world. The Shitty Stones are better than the Stones are now."
	1:37pm Windy City: Its such a tough call ...we cherish those memories so deeply ❤️
	1:37pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:37 jack is a good friend!
	1:37pm tim: Monica - keep the CDs that you have a personal connection to and sell the rest.
	1:38pm Karl: I had a really hard time getting rid of my CD jewel cases. I can't imagine getting rid of the CDs yet.
	1:38pm The Oscar: Personally, I'm always Team Keep-- I have a feeling the streaming universe is going to start contracting very soon, and I worked at the record store long enough to watch people who sold us their life's collections ruefully start buying back.
	1:38pm chresti: I would weed out the b-list cds and trade them in for MORE CDs haha
	1:38pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:37 i've seen that they have played around, but yet to make it to a show.
	1:39pm tim: ↳ clarke @1:37 His current band is SOOOOO good. He gets my MVP vote for Goner Fest. His set at the afterparty plus his set with the Cool Jerks were so good.
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Keep 'em. You don't owe it to anyone in the future to make the clean-up easier. And there may come a time before we die when late capitalism cannot bring music and books and whatnot to us, and I'd frankly like to have a pile in reserve at that point.
	1:39pm Dr. K: Karl has the right idea - donate them if you don't need the scratch to a university library, or an archive like Marr Sound Archive in KC, Mo. at UMKC.
	1:39pm Sweyn Sporkbeard: I have a large LP collection which takes up a lot of space and I have not had a turntable for ten years, but I just cannot part with them.
	1:39pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ slugluv1313 @1:20 i was there too! Karyn's show was a highlight of a lineup that was all highlights.
	1:39pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:39 cool! haven't seen him in years, now!
	1:40pm slugluv1313: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:39 so cool! yes, she is amazing!
	1:40pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:39 And build a bunker to store them!
	1:41pm Karl: ↳ Dr. K @1:39 Doubling down here. Monica, you were right there when so much music history happened! More than that, you had a hand on a lever that moved music history! I would love to spend days looking through your collection, talking to you about it, reading stuff you wrote about it.
	1:41pm clarke: farenheit 451 - not far off.
	1:41pm Dr. K: Great show btw! A listening bunker!! Nice idea!
	1:42pm Zip7: MONICA!!! Yay! Perfect Monday! So as to CDs . . . I have about 4000 CDs, and when I last moved I held every one in Marie Kondo fashion and asked if it gave me joy. Every one of them did! I don't trust hard drive storage . . .
	1:42pm Blatherard: Hold on to your prized CDs -- if Rough Trade is selling used cassette tapes in Rockefeller Center, it's only a matter of time before CDs become highly collectible -- and CDs are the last medium to include liner notes, some of which are superb and will never be re-issued
	1:42pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Autumn Leaves (Kareha)" by "Nat King Cole" A version of this song I can still get behind! Makes me happy. I love his Japanese version of L-O-V-E as well.
	1:42pm The Oscar: I've also come to see the idea of "simplifying" by selling physical music/movies/etc. as a bit of an illusion-- in most cases it just feels like a means of consolidating your dependency on "the cloud," which is an increasingly bleak prospect.
	1:43pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:39 (I mean I was at the festival, not the afterparty.) But since we're talking about covers, Karyn's White Rabbit fakeout was for the ages.
	1:43pm I'm with the banned: ↳ Song: "Ball N' Chain" by "Big Mama Thornton" Hi Monica Big Love for Big Mama Thornton 💙
	1:43pm tim: ↳ Karl @1:41 I second this! As someone who works in an academic library I can attest that there is not enough personal archives from the music world.
	1:45pm tim: ↳ Song: "Subterranean - Movement III" by "Colleen" This is really great!
	1:45pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ chresti @1:40 I'm so down with this idea.
	1:45pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Subterranean - Movement III" by "Colleen" Colleen has a brand new record out: colleencolleen.bandcamp.com...
	1:45pm Juli: Good Afternoon!!
	1:46pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ The Oscar @1:42 It will collapse eventually, either through corporate infighting or nuclear holocaust.
	1:46pm Monica: welcome, whereswardo, Windy City, Dr. K, Zip 7, Blatherard, I'm with the banned, and Juli.
	1:46pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Karl @1:45 This is it!
	1:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: This is a Bandcamp Friday week. www.isitbandcampfriday.com
	1:48pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ chresti @1:36 Ditto. Though I think I'm going to buy a CD player, and actually listening to them again. Plus, when I'm out hobnobbing with music types I still have people give me CDs with no download cards, So I want to be able to honor the gift.
	1:48pm clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:46 i hear bandcamp sold again?? (i live under a rock)
	1:48pm Matt Fiveash: My advice would be to purge enough CDs to feel a little more free & easy, but hold onto at least a little trove of creme de la creme good ones. I justify my record & cd hoarding by imagining a (quite plausible) future where a reliable wi-fi connect is not a given... plus I imagine you have a ton of great CDs whose contents can't be found on youtube, spotify etc. Just the Chronological Classics label alone....
	1:49pm Mariolino: What a fascinating cover, this one by Andy Bey & The Bey Sisters
	1:50pm Handy Haversack: A year or two back we were going to try to at least put the CDs in wallets and get rid of the cases -- but they no longer make wallets, it seems, that can hold the insert cards and liner notes. We had to nope out hard and fast. Put the DVDs in a wallet and tore the pages out of some smaller ones to hold WFMU premiums. And the piles continue to grow here ...
	1:51pm chresti: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:46 Yay!
	1:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ clarke @1:48 Looks like Epic Games is out and Songtradr is in. www.songtradr.com... I wish them luck.
	1:52pm Karl: ↳ Matt Fiveash @1:48 I have a single shelf of CDs that I will not part with: made by people I personally know, or things I love to no end. The rest are in some CD binders. I ripped everything to local hard drives which are doubly backed up. I wish that local storage and backup were not such painful operations.
	1:52pm Lawrence: Phenomenal set with many new discoveries--thank you, Monica!
	1:52pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): speaking of CDs does anyone have a reliable repair shop in NYC? I have a discman and a boom box that both need repairs and looking on line makes it seem like only super high end dealers are still out there.
	1:52pm clarke: one reason to jettison collections is if you are going to be moving a lot. i decided to have a friend "curate" my collections. i have access and he get to have them.
	1:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:52 Yes, referred to me by Fabio when a turntable I'd bought from him had a speed freakout (when it first got out of rehab ...). Let me find the details, one sec.
	1:53pm I'm with the banned: Wow. The Bey Sisters! My dad used to play their record albums when I was a kid.
	1:53pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:50 Priority piles. That's how I roll.
	1:54pm Karl: I will probably be buried with my de Schmog CDs
	1:54pm tim: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:52 I'm thankful Epic sold off Bandcamp rather than running it into the ground or shuddering it. I hope Songtradr is a good steward.
	1:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:53 Ah, that was not hard. www.newhitech.net Just bring them in, they'll give you an estimate. You will dig the shop, too, and possibly leave with more than you came with.
	1:55pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:53 oh yeah.. i wanted to find out what happened to that 'table
	1:55pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry" by "Marty Robbins" This was a top three favorite song for my dad!
	1:56pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @1:55 Had to take it back for a quick adjustment, but now it works like a charm.
	1:56pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @1:55 THANKS! And it also seems to be not too far from me. Much obliged.
	1:56pm tim: Shuddering = shuttering it.
	1:56pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:56 and if i may ask: how much did that cost ya??
	1:56pm Karl: Dig that distortion! Take that Neil Young!
	1:57pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): My younger brother bought an old industrial 100-disc CD changer and found a giant CD wallet that holds 100 CD cases and so he uses it like a jukebox.
	1:57pm Monica: Hello, Mariolino - and yes:). Hi Lawrence!
	1:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @1:56 $120 as I recall. Fabio was basically, "if it's going to cost more than $120, just buy one of the turntables they have there."
	1:58pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 seems a bit steep - but nyc.
	1:59pm Robm: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:56 listener bryan shows the list mind knows all sees all
	1:59pm Philip: ahhhhhhhhh nice
	1:59pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 there's this guy on the west bank, here, who does quality work cheap, BUT.. a) he's very old, and b) jammed up to the gills!!
	2:00pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 I think this is the window where Walkmen and even players are considered cheap and worthless. In 20 years they will be on Antiques Roadshow next to the Matisse.
	2:00pm Monica: Hi Robm.
	2:00pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Robm @1:59 makes me happy. i've run some searches online but the reviews are often really lousy, the prices steep, or the overall vibe unfriendly. i don't think i've seen the site handy sent over.
	2:00pm clarke: ↳ clarke @1:59 you can barely walk in the front door of his shop!!
	2:02pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:55 comparing the two shops is laughable, mon!!
	2:02pm Robm: ↳ Monica @2:00 hi back monica
	2:03pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ clarke @1:59 Jammed to the gills meaning his shop is full of stuff or that it takes forever to have work done?
	2:04pm clarke: exactly bryan - there's so much stuff in there, i have no idea how the guy moves around. also Handy: how many rat shirts did you purchase??
	2:05pm clarke: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:03 to be sure: both!
	2:05pm Robm: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:00 i know, people have always gotten a great answer on here, thats why i trust the accu more then google, you are never steered wrong
	2:06pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ clarke @2:05 a lot of reviews of these places say they take in work and then it takes months to get things back. i don't know if it's a parts/supply problem or what but it's a common comment.
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:04 Waiting for a crossover Strength Through Failure premium.
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:06 Only took a week for the turntable.
	2:06pm clarke: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:06 i honestly think these old guys hate to turn down work - but, they have no management skillz - just electronic skillz.
	2:06pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 that's a good sign
	2:07pm Robm: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:06 or maybe not enough quality help to do the work
	2:07pm Planet Tyler: Hmmm, I made a pledge and suddenly the stream got louder...........
	2:07pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:07 that too. it is a dying art.
	2:08pm clarke: put yo hands on the ray-dio!!
	2:08pm Monica: Hello Planet Tyler - yes:)
	2:08pm Carmichael: ↳ Planet Tyler @2:07 Individualized stream It's a feature!
	2:08pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:06 clarke wonder what will happen when they retire?
	2:09pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Heaven on My Mind" by "Blue Ridge Quartet" (Please be a song where there's a twist at the end and it turns out that this is really about Baphomet)
	2:09pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:08 yeah, i know. weird times.
	2:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Planet Tyler @2:07 Working as designed!
	2:09pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:07 like i just wrote to clarke what will happen when they retire
	2:10pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Alouette, Gentile Alouette" by "The Delta Rhythm ... Oh I love this!
	2:10pm clarke: there might be a crew of youngsters who are into electronics, as a retro thang, tho??
	2:11pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Monica, I once described your shows to a friend as the ones that have the most years between the earliest things played and the most recent things played and I stand by it. You really put the free in freeform.
	2:11pm clarke: ↳ clarke @2:10 which sounds like the place Handy found.
	2:11pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:09 wonder if WFMU can keep a up to date list of people who work on stuff like this, few and far between clarke for stuff like that
	2:12pm Carmichael: This is better than Robert Clary's version!
	2:12pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:12 le beau!!
	2:12pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ clarke @2:10 You'd think with the cassette and vinyl revivals we'd also see people training to take care of players, but I get the impression Amazon and Urban Outfitters just want people to go through cheap blue tooth-friendly players and throw them out when they inevitably break. No thanks.
	2:13pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:11 the throwaway electronics age also kiled the career. replace instead of repair.
	2:14pm Karl: ↳ clarke @2:10 Guitar tech is going in both directions: increasing focus on vacuum tube hand built stuff on one end, and increasing interest in digital (class D) amps with all kind of digital modeling for amp and cabinet simulation. I recently did some research to see what solid state transistor guitar amps are available and it's really slim pickings.
	2:14pm McGroovey: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:12 I'm ready for the CD revival.
	2:14pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @2:11 Being formally in the industry, and hubby still is, parts are a definite issue. Handy's turntable trouble was very fixable. Other things, circuit boards, resistors, capacitors gets very messy. Then you got the repair people who are big on 'upgrades' which can really change the sound. It's a weird world in electronics and audio.
	2:14pm CC: Fun show today!!! fun fun fun!!!
	2:15pm clarke: ↳ Karl @2:14 i would say guitar amps are on a huge rise. and, yes, the transistor amps are probably going the way of what we discussed above. dying art.
	2:16pm timinoak: What a wonderful show. Thank you, Monica.
	2:16pm clarke: there are some transistor amps i LOVE, tho! especially vox's line - Pathfinder!! etc.
	2:17pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Congestion Hoe-Down" by "Elizabeth Parker" What a great little track. Loved it.
	2:17pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @2:14 i should say so love, there used to be people who like to tinker with stuff, hell apple doesn’t even want you to try and fix stuff on your own!!!
	2:17pm Monica: Hello, timinoak and McGroovey!
	2:18pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @1:59 There used to be an old guy a few blocks from me who did electronics repair, and I was going to take my old receiver to him, but he retired and closed the shop before I got the chance. The old receiver still sits in a shelf. One channel didn't work, but it sounds so much nicer than my modern "digital" receiver.
	2:18pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:17 there is a guy in my hood that works on apple stuff - but, i surmise that is common??
	2:18pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Robm @2:17 Nope. They want you to lease products indefinitely and trade in for the new model ASAP. Such a waste.
	2:18pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @2:18 hellllo! and what kind is it??
	2:19pm McGroovey: I forgot to turn my radio on earlier. I was listening to talk of Washington politics. I regret that choice now.
	2:19pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @2:17 Argh! formerly SMH! And yes, Apple is a very good example of planned obsolescence and pay them to repair.
	2:19pm the nOggin: Enjoying the super mellow grooves on a Monday. Thanks
	2:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ McGroovey @2:19 Definitely buzzkill, yeah.
	2:20pm Monica: welcome, the nOggin.
	2:21pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:18 nope unless you are an authorized repair person, and you have to jump through hoops for that @Love oh hell yeah
	2:21pm SecretSquirrel: An Edwards/Rogers joint? So good
	2:22pm Robm: ↳ McGroovey @2:19 watching cable news, i avoid it like the plague
	2:22pm Zip7: ↳ love2laf @2:19 I still miss Tekserve. Been using Apple since getting a Mac Plus in '88. But I'm never buying another!
	2:22pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @2:16 The only transistor amp I ever liked was a Mesa Boogie. It actually sounded warm. I have a Fender Princeton and an old Pignose practice amp. And after a few dalliances with individual pedals, I returned to my Boss ME-50 floor unit. We're in a long-term relationship.
	2:22pm Monica: SecretSquirrel - yep!
	2:22pm McGroovey: ↳ Karl @2:14 Hey, Karl, I might have to make you help me fix my old receiver. I did buy a repair manual for it on eBay 15 years ago. That's as far as my DIY efforts have taken me.
	2:23pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Zip7 @2:22 I miss Tekserve too.
	2:23pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Lovesick" by "Laufey" I dig Laufey.
	2:24pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:21 this guy has a big sign on the front of his shop! REPAIR APPLE.
	2:25pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:24 okay then i hope he knows what the hell he is doing then
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:22 i have a vintage princeton that is UNREAL! someday tell u the story on that one.
	2:26pm love2laf: ↳ Zip7 @2:22 We never had Tekserve up here, that I remember. I walk in Apple and Windows worlds, they both have terrible drawbacks. I just count it a good day when I can reliably stream WFMU to the rig.
	2:26pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:25 i will never know - don't have apple anything.
	2:26pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:11 Also the longest chronological sweeps within single sets. <3
	2:27pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Lovesick" by "Laufey" Wow, what an instrument she has.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: With the even worse direction Microsoft is going, I think I'm going to have to turn to Linux at some point.
	2:27pm Philip: NORMA!!!! thank you Monica.
	2:28pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:26 gotcha clarke @Love2Laf we all sound like grumpy old farts
	2:28pm Colleen: Love it!
	2:29pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Clowns and Kids Suite: I. Title-Credit Music" by ... 🙂
	2:29pm Robm: hey colleen
	2:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Clowns and Kids Suite: I. Title-Credit Music" by ... I'm crying this set has been so good.
	2:30pm spodiodi: uguntu is a great first distro imho
	2:30pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 I've been running Linux for 25 years. Life is easy
	2:31pm spodiodi: same +
	2:31pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @2:26 I was gifted an iPhone a long time ago, so I keep buying them because I know the lay of the land with them. Definitely have NOT drank the kool aid, though. And I don't get into the class wars of Apple vs smart phones.
	2:31pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @2:30 until you start listening to politics.
	2:32pm spodiodi: i gave it up about a year ago "give me convenience or give me death" ala macos
	2:33pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:31 class war koolaid. don't drink!!
	2:33pm spodiodi: i do miss thee control... i'll put it on another box naext time i have one
	2:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @2:30 I will turn to you for help. You brought this on yourself!
	2:33pm Karl: Is today the day that JA fills in for Dave Mandl?
	2:34pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 oh shit.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @2:33 He's still putting his reel together.
	2:34pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:34 We may one day learn what JA thinks of Rush
	2:35pm Marie in Queens: Hey Monica, I am really enjoying the show. Thank you! Hey Everybody!
	2:36pm Robm: ↳ Marie in Queens @2:35 hi marie
	2:36pm morphe': Thanks Monica and all ... gotta spit ... Till.....=>
	2:37pm Monica: Thank you, Marie in Queens!
	2:38pm Monica: Hi morphe, thx!
	2:38pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 I first installed Linux in 1997 via FTP. Come at me, bro.
	2:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @2:34 I'm not sure I'm ready!
	2:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @2:30 What do you use for a browser?
	2:39pm nycmusicnerd: Nerds talking smack--I love it!
	2:39pm McGroovey: ↳ spodiodi @2:30 I've been using Ubuntu Studio for a while. Whenever I got a new computer, I used to install a dual-boot system, in case I needed to use Windows. And some laptops used to require that you leave Windows installed, for certain system reasons. But a few months ago, I had a system failure (I accidentally corrupted the boot system), I was about to install the new version of Ubuntu Studio , and I realized that I hadn't booted into Windows in five years, and I didn't know where my windows discs, or whatever TF passwords Microsoft requires to fetch a new installation image, so I just installed Ubuntu Studio by itself, and it works just fine. Buh-bye, Microsoft. I guess Ubuntu includes substitutes for the proprietary MS system stuff Linux used to need on my laptop.
	2:39pm clarke: that's a rather personal question
	2:40pm spodiodi: firsfox works well w ubuntu
	2:41pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:34 Another absolutely fantastic show in that 9am Friday slot is Doug Schulkind on the Drummer stream. Highly recommend: wfmu.org...
	2:41pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:39 I've been using Opera forever, although for the past few years, I think Opera has become Chromium-based?
	2:41pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "My Little Blue Heaven" by "Jimmie Tarlton" That was a really interesting take on the song. Gospelfied. Instead of Molly and me and baby makes three it's Jesus makes three...which I guess makes sense bc it's heaven?
	2:42pm StringOFperils: All I want is my old analog stuff. All I want is the corporate state to stop following me around to see what it can peel off and sell. All I want is to break even.
	2:42pm Zip7: ↳ Chris Hiatt @2:41 Doug's show is an absolute MUST! Never miss it if I can help it
	2:43pm spodiodi: ↳ McGroovey @2:39 ssirght on. i make most of my machine triple boot. usd ubuntustudio for a few year, then came back to a vanilla LTS when the gig i had at the tim called for it. I likes it thogh -- the extra packages invlude are very helpful
	2:43pm spodiodi: firfox ftw... forever
	2:44pm Karl: I'm partial to Debian, but Ubuntu probably has more desktop environment users, so it 's probably easier to get help with problems.
	2:44pm Monica: Greetings, StringOFperils!
	2:44pm eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for Tim Buckley
	2:45pm tim: ↳ Song: "Blue Melody" by "Tim Buckley" This is great.
	2:45pm StringOFperils: Hello Monica. Enjoying the Buckley fellow
	2:45pm Planet Tyler: Tim Buckley is so good
	2:46pm Monica: Hey there, eric from lake hiawatha!
	2:46pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 Sure. No problem. It's become pretty easy, though. You download an installation image, follow instructions to use the image to format a flash drive as the installation medium, then start the computer running off the flash drive instead of your hard drive. It asks you if you want to install Linux. You say yes, and you're off and running...
	2:47pm spodiodi: ubuntu is hadda-down the wasiest/mot like what a user is use to. i gave all of my friends ubuntu discs for decade until i finally gave up. too many hooked on the M$ um. stuff.
	2:47pm Philip: ↳ Planet Tyler @2:45 Totally. Lorca is a wild album
	2:47pm Chris Hiatt: Nice work today, Monica. Thank you.
	2:50pm Monica: Thanks one and all for tuning in to day. Much appreciated. Please consider tossing a few coins into the October Hellraiser if you're so inclined. Joe will be back next week. I'll be back someday, sometime!
	2:50pm clarke: puppies is the cwaziest peoples!!
	2:50pm spodiodi: the show has been the inverse of my typing ability plus typos. thank you and apologies, Monica and everybody else! see you next time ⭐️🙏
	2:50pm greg g: Sounding wonderful Monica! Thank you!!
	2:50pm love2laf: ↳ Monica @2:50 Thank you Monica, it's been a wonderful pleasure to hear your fill in. Thanks accu friends for the interesting chat.
	2:51pm Zip7: What a wonderful show, Monica! Thanx!!!
	2:52pm holland oats: ↳ Song: "We'll Be Together Again" by "Vi Redd" What about tears FOR fears, huh vi? What then?!?!
	2:52pm bradford: Thanks Monica, your fill ins are always essential listening.
	2:52pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks Monica!
	2:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Monica. Good luck with the Swedish Death Purge. Perhaps a CD funeral pyre is an option? (Joking, as that would be bad for the environment and other things.)
	2:53pm Monica: Hi, holland oats and bradford!
	2:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Monica! Always great to have you on the air.
	2:53pm tim: Thank you, Monica! Your shows are always a genuine treat.

	2:55pm dreamyandseedy: thank you Monica!

	2:55pm Marie in Chicago: Thanks again, Monica! (typed "in Queens" automatically before)
	2:55pm kym: What a treat today! Thank you, Monica!
	2:56pm listener 126464: Nice to hear you, Monica. Thanks for filling in.

	12:42pm tim: ↳ Song: a song Let it blurt!
	12:45pm tim: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:39 Hey Jack! I swear on Isaac Hayes' grave that I had nothing to do with Joe Belock going MIA in Memphis. I did buy him a couple beers which may have contributed though.
	12:46pm 24ducklings: nice to hear you again Monica :^)
	12:48pm tim: This set's on fire, Monica!
	12:49pm Monica: Thx so much, 24ducklings!
	12:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:39 Hi, Jack. Putting on the good pants over here since it's a Monica show this afternoon.
	12:49pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Jack!
	12:50pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ tim @12:45 Hahaha ok. I trust you had an amazing time!
	12:51pm Bob from poughkeepsie: Hi Monica, great show to wake up to.Hope all is well.
	12:51pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ love2laf @12:40 Feelies, The Bongos, and Lenny Kaye at the Hoboken Fest yesterday made it a great weekend! I hope yours was groovy too.
	12:51pm Monica: Hey there, Bob from poughkeepsie!
	12:52pm Matt Fiveash: Hit after hit!
	12:53pm love2laf: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:51 Not nearly as groovy, but accomplished many chores that need doing before winter. WFMU did not let me down in the music department. Glad you had a fun and musical weekend.
	12:54pm tim: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:50 It really was. Great bands, great folks to hang out with. I've never seen so many t-shirts of good bands in one place - haha! Whenever Joe resurfaces ask him about the afterparty with The Shitty Stones.
	12:54pm Monica: Hahaha, Matt Fiveash!
	12:55pm tim: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:51 Wow! Sounds like you had a pretty good weekend too, Jack!
	12:57pm Matt Fiveash: Also, happy belated birthday to the People's Champ (yesterday). It's an easy one for me to remember as it is also the birthday of my mom. And Walter Matthau
	12:57pm Greg From Brooklyn: Always so happy when you are back on FMU Monica!
	12:57pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Locomia" by "Loco Mía" OMG LOCOMIA!!! thank you Monica 😻😻
	12:58pm spodiodi: aloha, Handy Haversack!
	12:58pm Monica: Hi Greg f/BK!!
	12:59pm tim: ↳ Matt Fiveash @12:57 That's right! Happy birthday to the Champ! And Mrs. Fiveash too!
	12:59pm slugluv1313: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:51 hi Jack! oh how i wish i could have been there -- my friend Karyn's band was playing too -- glad you got to go!
	1:00pm Chris Hiatt: Some of my favorite bed music right here.
	1:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: The "Chopsicks" part of the bed music seems quite a bit like the one in the Jetsons opening theme song.
	1:02pm love2laf: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:00 Agreed, I just love the cheery, happy version of Sedated, makes me smile every time.
	1:04pm Carmichael: Heya Monica and listeners. Good to see your voice again.
	1:04pm Mick: Happy birthday Joe Belock, and happy Belocktoberfest!!!
	1:05pm Karl: ↳ Mick @1:04 OK, so, I know Hoboken Jack is here, and he has the connections and gusto to make this happen. BELOCKTOBERFEST. Let's do it. Minimum requirements are an open air biergarten and amazing bands.
	1:06pm chresti: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:00 Same!
	1:06pm Monica: Hi Carmichael and Karl!
	1:07pm CC: Pickin up some q tip at the store today
	1:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Karl @1:05 The deli sandwiches for sale will be not quite fully cut through.
	1:08pm tim: ↳ Karl @1:05 That's a brilliant idea!
	1:08pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ slugluv1313 @12:59 She's my friend too and was great! The good news is she seems re-energized about playing so we should get another chance to see them soon!
	1:08pm Karl: ↳ Monica @1:06 Hello! Sounding great! ATCQ forever.
	1:09pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Karl @1:05 I'm Cheryl the Music Nerd, and I approve this message.
	1:10pm Monica: well alright now, CC!
	1:10pm Mick: ↳ Karl @1:05 I feel like this could be a thing...
	1:10pm clarke: Sir, this is a Wendy's drive-thru!!
	1:10pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Subito" by "Moebius & Beerbohm" Weeee!
	1:11pm Mick: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:08 Such a great show!!
	1:11pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Monica and all!
	1:12pm Monica: Hello, Crosby in NC!
	1:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Karl @1:08 I'm in the midst of teaching the Station Eleven HBO series and they make such great use of Tribe. Music direction on that series is superb. (Liza Richardson is no joke.)
	1:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" Pretty different from the First Aid Kit cover. Someone alert Mary Wing!
	1:17pm disco_nap_: Been boppin’ around my apartment to this amazing set, thank you DJ Monica!
	1:17pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" sounds great
	1:17pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" Very season selection.
	1:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Who by Fire" by "Skinny Pelembe & Beth Orton" Nice L Cohen re-interpretation
	1:19pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Re-Hab" by "Stew" This could pass for a Shel Silverstein composition (give or take the Save Ferris namecheck)!
	1:20pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Re-Hab" by "Stew" Stew is so funny.
	1:20pm Clincher16": ↳ The Oscar @1:19 Yes indeed!
	1:20pm slugluv1313: ↳ Hoboken Jack @1:08 that is wonderful to hear! i was so happy to see her on the festival's list of musicians (& thoroughly bummed that i could not be there to see her!)
	1:21pm Monica: Yo, disco_nap, Frank ZaatarThe Oscar, and Clincher16"!
	1:21pm Karl: Web design, late 90s drug of choice
	1:22pm Jeezuseffinchrist: wow this guy is a DB
	1:22pm Monica: Hello, Jeezuseffinchrist.
	1:23pm Jeezuseffinchrist: lol Hi Monica <3
	1:26pm tim: ↳ Song: "In Your Mind" by "Bryan Ferry" Yes!
	1:27pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "In Your Mind" by "Bryan Ferry" I know you're gonna come through with a Bryan Ferry winner every time, Monica. <3 <3
	1:27pm listener 126464: Hey Monica, everyone. More airplay for Stew/The Negro Problem, please!
	1:27pm Carmichael: was given a collection of Bryan Ferry covers of Dylan. Still not sure how I feel about it ...
	1:28pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @1:27 i know how i feel.
	1:29pm Monica: listener 126464 - hello and yup!
	1:29pm Carmichael: Ha, then it's NOT me, for once.
	1:30pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @1:29 it's ALWAYS you carmichael!!!
	1:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Carmichael @1:27 I like that record but not as much as I like the "Hard Rain" cover on "These Foolish Things" which kind of pulls that whole song apart and puts it back together
	1:30pm tim: ↳ Carmichael @1:29 You're right. It's always clarke!
	1:31pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:30 But I'm a sucker for Bryan Ferry!
	1:31pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:30 Timothy, this is a library.
	1:31pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:30 so... what's the nola band you wanted to tell me about?
	1:32pm clarke: belock sounds.. different.
	1:35pm Chris Hiatt: Swedish Death Cleanse? I love that band! Oh, wait...
	1:36pm clarke: ↳ Chris Hiatt @1:35 their second album? meh.
	1:36pm Karl: Monica: consider donating the collection to a music library (e.g. NYU)!
	1:36pm listener 126464: Save them for the 3rd CD revival.
	1:36pm whereswardo: Die with them. Let someone deal with them when you’re gone. Make a list.
	1:36pm chresti: Same- many cds and no cd player!
	1:36pm love2laf: I think if you don't actually use the cds, take pictures of it, rip it to a file, and pass the joy on.
	1:37pm tim: ↳ clarke @1:31 Hahaha! Yes. They're called the Shitty Stones. They're a Stones cover band but they're awesome. Drunk, out of tune and full of heart. Everyone, I mean everyone in the room was into it. Jack Oblivion played next. Before he started he said "The Stones are my favorite band in the whole world. The Shitty Stones are better than the Stones are now."
	1:37pm Windy City: Its such a tough call ...we cherish those memories so deeply ❤️
	1:37pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:37 jack is a good friend!
	1:37pm tim: Monica - keep the CDs that you have a personal connection to and sell the rest.
	1:38pm Karl: I had a really hard time getting rid of my CD jewel cases. I can't imagine getting rid of the CDs yet.
	1:38pm The Oscar: Personally, I'm always Team Keep-- I have a feeling the streaming universe is going to start contracting very soon, and I worked at the record store long enough to watch people who sold us their life's collections ruefully start buying back.
	1:38pm chresti: I would weed out the b-list cds and trade them in for MORE CDs haha
	1:38pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:37 i've seen that they have played around, but yet to make it to a show.
	1:39pm tim: ↳ clarke @1:37 His current band is SOOOOO good. He gets my MVP vote for Goner Fest. His set at the afterparty plus his set with the Cool Jerks were so good.
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Keep 'em. You don't owe it to anyone in the future to make the clean-up easier. And there may come a time before we die when late capitalism cannot bring music and books and whatnot to us, and I'd frankly like to have a pile in reserve at that point.
	1:39pm Dr. K: Karl has the right idea - donate them if you don't need the scratch to a university library, or an archive like Marr Sound Archive in KC, Mo. at UMKC.
	1:39pm Sweyn Sporkbeard: I have a large LP collection which takes up a lot of space and I have not had a turntable for ten years, but I just cannot part with them.
	1:39pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ slugluv1313 @1:20 i was there too! Karyn's show was a highlight of a lineup that was all highlights.
	1:39pm clarke: ↳ tim @1:39 cool! haven't seen him in years, now!
	1:40pm slugluv1313: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:39 so cool! yes, she is amazing!
	1:40pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:39 And build a bunker to store them!
	1:41pm Karl: ↳ Dr. K @1:39 Doubling down here. Monica, you were right there when so much music history happened! More than that, you had a hand on a lever that moved music history! I would love to spend days looking through your collection, talking to you about it, reading stuff you wrote about it.
	1:41pm clarke: farenheit 451 - not far off.
	1:41pm Dr. K: Great show btw! A listening bunker!! Nice idea!
	1:42pm Zip7: MONICA!!! Yay! Perfect Monday! So as to CDs . . . I have about 4000 CDs, and when I last moved I held every one in Marie Kondo fashion and asked if it gave me joy. Every one of them did! I don't trust hard drive storage . . .
	1:42pm Blatherard: Hold on to your prized CDs -- if Rough Trade is selling used cassette tapes in Rockefeller Center, it's only a matter of time before CDs become highly collectible -- and CDs are the last medium to include liner notes, some of which are superb and will never be re-issued
	1:42pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Autumn Leaves (Kareha)" by "Nat King Cole" A version of this song I can still get behind! Makes me happy. I love his Japanese version of L-O-V-E as well.
	1:42pm The Oscar: I've also come to see the idea of "simplifying" by selling physical music/movies/etc. as a bit of an illusion-- in most cases it just feels like a means of consolidating your dependency on "the cloud," which is an increasingly bleak prospect.
	1:43pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Frank Zaatar @1:39 (I mean I was at the festival, not the afterparty.) But since we're talking about covers, Karyn's White Rabbit fakeout was for the ages.
	1:43pm I'm with the banned: ↳ Song: "Ball N' Chain" by "Big Mama Thornton" Hi Monica Big Love for Big Mama Thornton 💙
	1:43pm tim: ↳ Karl @1:41 I second this! As someone who works in an academic library I can attest that there is not enough personal archives from the music world.
	1:45pm tim: ↳ Song: "Subterranean - Movement III" by "Colleen" This is really great!
	1:45pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ chresti @1:40 I'm so down with this idea.
	1:45pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Subterranean - Movement III" by "Colleen" Colleen has a brand new record out: colleencolleen.bandcamp.com...
	1:45pm Juli: Good Afternoon!!
	1:46pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ The Oscar @1:42 It will collapse eventually, either through corporate infighting or nuclear holocaust.
	1:46pm Monica: welcome, whereswardo, Windy City, Dr. K, Zip 7, Blatherard, I'm with the banned, and Juli.
	1:46pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Karl @1:45 This is it!
	1:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: This is a Bandcamp Friday week. www.isitbandcampfriday.com
	1:48pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ chresti @1:36 Ditto. Though I think I'm going to buy a CD player, and actually listening to them again. Plus, when I'm out hobnobbing with music types I still have people give me CDs with no download cards, So I want to be able to honor the gift.
	1:48pm clarke: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:46 i hear bandcamp sold again?? (i live under a rock)
	1:48pm Matt Fiveash: My advice would be to purge enough CDs to feel a little more free & easy, but hold onto at least a little trove of creme de la creme good ones. I justify my record & cd hoarding by imagining a (quite plausible) future where a reliable wi-fi connect is not a given... plus I imagine you have a ton of great CDs whose contents can't be found on youtube, spotify etc. Just the Chronological Classics label alone....
	1:49pm Mariolino: What a fascinating cover, this one by Andy Bey & The Bey Sisters
	1:50pm Handy Haversack: A year or two back we were going to try to at least put the CDs in wallets and get rid of the cases -- but they no longer make wallets, it seems, that can hold the insert cards and liner notes. We had to nope out hard and fast. Put the DVDs in a wallet and tore the pages out of some smaller ones to hold WFMU premiums. And the piles continue to grow here ...
	1:51pm chresti: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:46 Yay!
	1:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ clarke @1:48 Looks like Epic Games is out and Songtradr is in. www.songtradr.com... I wish them luck.
	1:52pm Karl: ↳ Matt Fiveash @1:48 I have a single shelf of CDs that I will not part with: made by people I personally know, or things I love to no end. The rest are in some CD binders. I ripped everything to local hard drives which are doubly backed up. I wish that local storage and backup were not such painful operations.
	1:52pm Lawrence: Phenomenal set with many new discoveries--thank you, Monica!
	1:52pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): speaking of CDs does anyone have a reliable repair shop in NYC? I have a discman and a boom box that both need repairs and looking on line makes it seem like only super high end dealers are still out there.
	1:52pm clarke: one reason to jettison collections is if you are going to be moving a lot. i decided to have a friend "curate" my collections. i have access and he get to have them.
	1:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:52 Yes, referred to me by Fabio when a turntable I'd bought from him had a speed freakout (when it first got out of rehab ...). Let me find the details, one sec.
	1:53pm I'm with the banned: Wow. The Bey Sisters! My dad used to play their record albums when I was a kid.
	1:53pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:50 Priority piles. That's how I roll.
	1:54pm Karl: I will probably be buried with my de Schmog CDs
	1:54pm tim: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:52 I'm thankful Epic sold off Bandcamp rather than running it into the ground or shuddering it. I hope Songtradr is a good steward.
	1:55pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:53 Ah, that was not hard. www.newhitech.net Just bring them in, they'll give you an estimate. You will dig the shop, too, and possibly leave with more than you came with.
	1:55pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:53 oh yeah.. i wanted to find out what happened to that 'table
	1:55pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry" by "Marty Robbins" This was a top three favorite song for my dad!
	1:56pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @1:55 Had to take it back for a quick adjustment, but now it works like a charm.
	1:56pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @1:55 THANKS! And it also seems to be not too far from me. Much obliged.
	1:56pm tim: Shuddering = shuttering it.
	1:56pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:56 and if i may ask: how much did that cost ya??
	1:56pm Karl: Dig that distortion! Take that Neil Young!
	1:57pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): My younger brother bought an old industrial 100-disc CD changer and found a giant CD wallet that holds 100 CD cases and so he uses it like a jukebox.
	1:57pm Monica: Hello, Mariolino - and yes:). Hi Lawrence!
	1:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @1:56 $120 as I recall. Fabio was basically, "if it's going to cost more than $120, just buy one of the turntables they have there."
	1:58pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 seems a bit steep - but nyc.
	1:59pm Robm: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @1:56 listener bryan shows the list mind knows all sees all
	1:59pm Philip: ahhhhhhhhh nice
	1:59pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 there's this guy on the west bank, here, who does quality work cheap, BUT.. a) he's very old, and b) jammed up to the gills!!
	2:00pm Carmichael: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:57 I think this is the window where Walkmen and even players are considered cheap and worthless. In 20 years they will be on Antiques Roadshow next to the Matisse.
	2:00pm Monica: Hi Robm.
	2:00pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Robm @1:59 makes me happy. i've run some searches online but the reviews are often really lousy, the prices steep, or the overall vibe unfriendly. i don't think i've seen the site handy sent over.
	2:00pm clarke: ↳ clarke @1:59 you can barely walk in the front door of his shop!!
	2:02pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:55 comparing the two shops is laughable, mon!!
	2:02pm Robm: ↳ Monica @2:00 hi back monica
	2:03pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ clarke @1:59 Jammed to the gills meaning his shop is full of stuff or that it takes forever to have work done?
	2:04pm clarke: exactly bryan - there's so much stuff in there, i have no idea how the guy moves around. also Handy: how many rat shirts did you purchase??
	2:05pm clarke: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:03 to be sure: both!
	2:05pm Robm: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:00 i know, people have always gotten a great answer on here, thats why i trust the accu more then google, you are never steered wrong
	2:06pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ clarke @2:05 a lot of reviews of these places say they take in work and then it takes months to get things back. i don't know if it's a parts/supply problem or what but it's a common comment.
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ clarke @2:04 Waiting for a crossover Strength Through Failure premium.
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:06 Only took a week for the turntable.
	2:06pm clarke: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:06 i honestly think these old guys hate to turn down work - but, they have no management skillz - just electronic skillz.
	2:06pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 that's a good sign
	2:07pm Robm: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:06 or maybe not enough quality help to do the work
	2:07pm Planet Tyler: Hmmm, I made a pledge and suddenly the stream got louder...........
	2:07pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:07 that too. it is a dying art.
	2:08pm clarke: put yo hands on the ray-dio!!
	2:08pm Monica: Hello Planet Tyler - yes:)
	2:08pm Carmichael: ↳ Planet Tyler @2:07 Individualized stream It's a feature!
	2:08pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:06 clarke wonder what will happen when they retire?
	2:09pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Heaven on My Mind" by "Blue Ridge Quartet" (Please be a song where there's a twist at the end and it turns out that this is really about Baphomet)
	2:09pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:08 yeah, i know. weird times.
	2:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Planet Tyler @2:07 Working as designed!
	2:09pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:07 like i just wrote to clarke what will happen when they retire
	2:10pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Alouette, Gentile Alouette" by "The Delta Rhythm ... Oh I love this!
	2:10pm clarke: there might be a crew of youngsters who are into electronics, as a retro thang, tho??
	2:11pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Monica, I once described your shows to a friend as the ones that have the most years between the earliest things played and the most recent things played and I stand by it. You really put the free in freeform.
	2:11pm clarke: ↳ clarke @2:10 which sounds like the place Handy found.
	2:11pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:09 wonder if WFMU can keep a up to date list of people who work on stuff like this, few and far between clarke for stuff like that
	2:12pm Carmichael: This is better than Robert Clary's version!
	2:12pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:12 le beau!!
	2:12pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ clarke @2:10 You'd think with the cassette and vinyl revivals we'd also see people training to take care of players, but I get the impression Amazon and Urban Outfitters just want people to go through cheap blue tooth-friendly players and throw them out when they inevitably break. No thanks.
	2:13pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:11 the throwaway electronics age also kiled the career. replace instead of repair.
	2:14pm Karl: ↳ clarke @2:10 Guitar tech is going in both directions: increasing focus on vacuum tube hand built stuff on one end, and increasing interest in digital (class D) amps with all kind of digital modeling for amp and cabinet simulation. I recently did some research to see what solid state transistor guitar amps are available and it's really slim pickings.
	2:14pm McGroovey: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:12 I'm ready for the CD revival.
	2:14pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @2:11 Being formally in the industry, and hubby still is, parts are a definite issue. Handy's turntable trouble was very fixable. Other things, circuit boards, resistors, capacitors gets very messy. Then you got the repair people who are big on 'upgrades' which can really change the sound. It's a weird world in electronics and audio.
	2:14pm CC: Fun show today!!! fun fun fun!!!
	2:15pm clarke: ↳ Karl @2:14 i would say guitar amps are on a huge rise. and, yes, the transistor amps are probably going the way of what we discussed above. dying art.
	2:16pm timinoak: What a wonderful show. Thank you, Monica.
	2:16pm clarke: there are some transistor amps i LOVE, tho! especially vox's line - Pathfinder!! etc.
	2:17pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Congestion Hoe-Down" by "Elizabeth Parker" What a great little track. Loved it.
	2:17pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @2:14 i should say so love, there used to be people who like to tinker with stuff, hell apple doesn’t even want you to try and fix stuff on your own!!!
	2:17pm Monica: Hello, timinoak and McGroovey!
	2:18pm McGroovey: ↳ clarke @1:59 There used to be an old guy a few blocks from me who did electronics repair, and I was going to take my old receiver to him, but he retired and closed the shop before I got the chance. The old receiver still sits in a shelf. One channel didn't work, but it sounds so much nicer than my modern "digital" receiver.
	2:18pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:17 there is a guy in my hood that works on apple stuff - but, i surmise that is common??
	2:18pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Robm @2:17 Nope. They want you to lease products indefinitely and trade in for the new model ASAP. Such a waste.
	2:18pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @2:18 hellllo! and what kind is it??
	2:19pm McGroovey: I forgot to turn my radio on earlier. I was listening to talk of Washington politics. I regret that choice now.
	2:19pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @2:17 Argh! formerly SMH! And yes, Apple is a very good example of planned obsolescence and pay them to repair.
	2:19pm the nOggin: Enjoying the super mellow grooves on a Monday. Thanks
	2:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ McGroovey @2:19 Definitely buzzkill, yeah.
	2:20pm Monica: welcome, the nOggin.
	2:21pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:18 nope unless you are an authorized repair person, and you have to jump through hoops for that @Love oh hell yeah
	2:21pm SecretSquirrel: An Edwards/Rogers joint? So good
	2:22pm Robm: ↳ McGroovey @2:19 watching cable news, i avoid it like the plague
	2:22pm Zip7: ↳ love2laf @2:19 I still miss Tekserve. Been using Apple since getting a Mac Plus in '88. But I'm never buying another!
	2:22pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @2:16 The only transistor amp I ever liked was a Mesa Boogie. It actually sounded warm. I have a Fender Princeton and an old Pignose practice amp. And after a few dalliances with individual pedals, I returned to my Boss ME-50 floor unit. We're in a long-term relationship.
	2:22pm Monica: SecretSquirrel - yep!
	2:22pm McGroovey: ↳ Karl @2:14 Hey, Karl, I might have to make you help me fix my old receiver. I did buy a repair manual for it on eBay 15 years ago. That's as far as my DIY efforts have taken me.
	2:23pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Zip7 @2:22 I miss Tekserve too.
	2:23pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Lovesick" by "Laufey" I dig Laufey.
	2:24pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:21 this guy has a big sign on the front of his shop! REPAIR APPLE.
	2:25pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:24 okay then i hope he knows what the hell he is doing then
	2:25pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:22 i have a vintage princeton that is UNREAL! someday tell u the story on that one.
	2:26pm love2laf: ↳ Zip7 @2:22 We never had Tekserve up here, that I remember. I walk in Apple and Windows worlds, they both have terrible drawbacks. I just count it a good day when I can reliably stream WFMU to the rig.
	2:26pm clarke: ↳ Robm @2:25 i will never know - don't have apple anything.
	2:26pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:11 Also the longest chronological sweeps within single sets. <3
	2:27pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Lovesick" by "Laufey" Wow, what an instrument she has.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: With the even worse direction Microsoft is going, I think I'm going to have to turn to Linux at some point.
	2:27pm Philip: NORMA!!!! thank you Monica.
	2:28pm Robm: ↳ clarke @2:26 gotcha clarke @Love2Laf we all sound like grumpy old farts
	2:28pm Colleen: Love it!
	2:29pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Clowns and Kids Suite: I. Title-Credit Music" by ... 🙂
	2:29pm Robm: hey colleen
	2:30pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Clowns and Kids Suite: I. Title-Credit Music" by ... I'm crying this set has been so good.
	2:30pm spodiodi: uguntu is a great first distro imho
	2:30pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:27 I've been running Linux for 25 years. Life is easy
	2:31pm spodiodi: same +
	2:31pm Carmichael: ↳ clarke @2:26 I was gifted an iPhone a long time ago, so I keep buying them because I know the lay of the land with them. Definitely have NOT drank the kool aid, though. And I don't get into the class wars of Apple vs smart phones.
	2:31pm clarke: ↳ McGroovey @2:30 until you start listening to politics.
	2:32pm spodiodi: i gave it up about a year ago "give me convenience or give me death" ala macos
	2:33pm clarke: ↳ Carmichael @2:31 class war koolaid. don't drink!!
	2:33pm spodiodi: i do miss thee control... i'll put it on another box naext time i have one
	2:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @2:30 I will turn to you for help. You brought this on yourself!
	2:33pm Karl: Is today the day that JA fills in for Dave Mandl?
	2:34pm clarke: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 oh shit.
	2:34pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @2:33 He's still putting his reel together.
	2:34pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:34 We may one day learn what JA thinks of Rush
	2:35pm Marie in Queens: Hey Monica, I am really enjoying the show. Thank you! Hey Everybody!
	2:36pm Robm: ↳ Marie in Queens @2:35 hi marie
	2:36pm morphe': Thanks Monica and all ... gotta spit ... Till.....=>
	2:37pm Monica: Thank you, Marie in Queens!
	2:38pm Monica: Hi morphe, thx!
	2:38pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 I first installed Linux in 1997 via FTP. Come at me, bro.
	2:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @2:34 I'm not sure I'm ready!
	2:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGroovey @2:30 What do you use for a browser?
	2:39pm nycmusicnerd: Nerds talking smack--I love it!
	2:39pm McGroovey: ↳ spodiodi @2:30 I've been using Ubuntu Studio for a while. Whenever I got a new computer, I used to install a dual-boot system, in case I needed to use Windows. And some laptops used to require that you leave Windows installed, for certain system reasons. But a few months ago, I had a system failure (I accidentally corrupted the boot system), I was about to install the new version of Ubuntu Studio , and I realized that I hadn't booted into Windows in five years, and I didn't know where my windows discs, or whatever TF passwords Microsoft requires to fetch a new installation image, so I just installed Ubuntu Studio by itself, and it works just fine. Buh-bye, Microsoft. I guess Ubuntu includes substitutes for the proprietary MS system stuff Linux used to need on my laptop.
	2:39pm clarke: that's a rather personal question
	2:40pm spodiodi: firsfox works well w ubuntu
	2:41pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:34 Another absolutely fantastic show in that 9am Friday slot is Doug Schulkind on the Drummer stream. Highly recommend: wfmu.org...
	2:41pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:39 I've been using Opera forever, although for the past few years, I think Opera has become Chromium-based?
	2:41pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "My Little Blue Heaven" by "Jimmie Tarlton" That was a really interesting take on the song. Gospelfied. Instead of Molly and me and baby makes three it's Jesus makes three...which I guess makes sense bc it's heaven?
	2:42pm StringOFperils: All I want is my old analog stuff. All I want is the corporate state to stop following me around to see what it can peel off and sell. All I want is to break even.
	2:42pm Zip7: ↳ Chris Hiatt @2:41 Doug's show is an absolute MUST! Never miss it if I can help it
	2:43pm spodiodi: ↳ McGroovey @2:39 ssirght on. i make most of my machine triple boot. usd ubuntustudio for a few year, then came back to a vanilla LTS when the gig i had at the tim called for it. I likes it thogh -- the extra packages invlude are very helpful
	2:43pm spodiodi: firfox ftw... forever
	2:44pm Karl: I'm partial to Debian, but Ubuntu probably has more desktop environment users, so it 's probably easier to get help with problems.
	2:44pm Monica: Greetings, StringOFperils!
	2:44pm eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for Tim Buckley
	2:45pm tim: ↳ Song: "Blue Melody" by "Tim Buckley" This is great.
	2:45pm StringOFperils: Hello Monica. Enjoying the Buckley fellow
	2:45pm Planet Tyler: Tim Buckley is so good
	2:46pm Monica: Hey there, eric from lake hiawatha!
	2:46pm McGroovey: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 Sure. No problem. It's become pretty easy, though. You download an installation image, follow instructions to use the image to format a flash drive as the installation medium, then start the computer running off the flash drive instead of your hard drive. It asks you if you want to install Linux. You say yes, and you're off and running...
	2:47pm spodiodi: ubuntu is hadda-down the wasiest/mot like what a user is use to. i gave all of my friends ubuntu discs for decade until i finally gave up. too many hooked on the M$ um. stuff.
	2:47pm Philip: ↳ Planet Tyler @2:45 Totally. Lorca is a wild album

	2:52pm holland oats: ↳ Song: "We'll Be Together Again" by "Vi Redd" What about tears FOR fears, huh vi? What then?!?!
	2:52pm bradford: Thanks Monica, your fill ins are always essential listening.
	2:52pm nycmusicnerd: Thanks Monica!
	2:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Monica. Good luck with the Swedish Death Purge. Perhaps a CD funeral pyre is an option? (Joking, as that would be bad for the environment and other things.)
