	12:11pm Sem: Resonating along with this. Sooooooooooooooooothing.
	12:14pm paddy in matawan: what is happening maaaaaahn
	12:14pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey bryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyce
	12:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): hey bryceketeers!
	12:15pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Plate Mass" by "David First / The World Casio Qua... R.I.P. Plate
	12:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): this is a frampton talk box playing in super slow speeds, right?
	12:20pm common: ↳ Krys O. @12:15 heee
	12:20pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has DMT cake?
	12:23pm Y. pestis: I done something stupid.
	12:24pm Mike W.: love this much
	12:26pm northguineahills: hello beautiful people. i think i might finally go into work in an hour (so i can get everything i need to work from FL if I decide to go down there)
	12:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @12:20 do cupcakes count?
	12:26pm Yes: vibes, ngh. take care
	12:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Yes @12:26 much appreciated
	12:29pm PaulRobeson1924: Hii
	12:32pm Bryce: hi, friends!
	12:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ northguineahills @12:26 always. unless they have those weird sugary sprinkle things that look like neon rice. Ten demerits per sprinkle.
	12:34pm Bryce: but they're 2C-B sprinkles
	12:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @12:32 what if i roll a 20?
	12:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: BRYCE! I need this today. Started work late, super tired, TGIF and all that! Working late tonight then a 3-day weekend.
	12:40pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ northguineahills @12:26 Do what you need to do and let us know if we can help in any way. It must be like being a frog in a blender mentally at this point between all that is going on...
	12:43pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @12:32 Hey, don't diss fancy over-sweet cupcakes. For my birthday last year, which fell on a work day, I treated myself to a red-eye coffee and a fancy schmancy MERMAID cupcake from my local Italian bakery. It had sugar pearls on it and fondant shells and a whale/mermaid tail and ALL the frosting and sparkles and stuff in various aquatic tones. IF I WANT A PRETTY MERMAID CUPCAKE BECAUSE I AM A PRETTY MERMAID ON MY BIRTHDAY I SHALL HAVE IT.
	12:44pm Bryce: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:39 <3
	12:46pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: And speaking of birthdays, I have to catch up on my CLE courses; I'm due this year. Glarbh. The whole thought of staring at a screen attentively for two hours at a time makes me want to puke. You have to click a popup notice ever so often that lasts for only 5 seconds or so to show that you are watching, or you don't get credit for the course. Think Clockwork Orange but much much more boring. Anyone wanna watch a 1.5 hour movie on Converting Revocable Trusts to Irrevocable Trusts without blinking with me?
	12:47pm Carmichael: Heya Bryce and citizens.
	12:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:46 Trust me when I say that I do not, thank you.
	12:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:40 i also want to go into the office just for some routine of normalcy (i also left half a pizza in there).
	12:48pm Frances: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:46 We are an S-corp, we don't allow trusts to be shareholders.
	12:50pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ northguineahills @12:48 I hear that.
	12:50pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: And I'm rolling 1.3 credits from last period to this year, I I only have 22.7 hours of CLE to go! Ugh.
	12:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:43 alas, my sprinkles taste of despair...
	12:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This Ilta Hämärä piece is the absolute, man, the [emphasis added] absolute.
	12:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @12:50 I am sorry. Come to think of it, has anyone come out with cannabis-infused sprinkles yet? ponders
	12:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @12:51 Agreed, digging this track so so much.
	12:52pm Y. pestis: SWEAT YOUR CHEESES BUT NOT ON MY SALAD
	12:53pm Bryce: hahaaaaaa
	12:53pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Anyway, back to the grind....
	12:54pm Frances: Monday, 3/13/67, I was in first grade
	12:57pm WM: Mention of Ezra Pound, my favorite poet.
	12:58pm Bryce: poet (and fascism enthusiast!)
	12:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: well everybody needs a hobby, i suppose
	1:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: dangerously close to clicky-starring this whole gott-damned episode
	1:00pm Bryce: so odd, separating artists' legitimate art from their weird politics
	1:01pm WM: Too true, but I love his poetry anyway.
	1:02pm chresti: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:46 Jeez
	1:04pm WM: I've come to the conclusion that, for the most part, art and politics don't mix well. There are exceptions, but most artists are better off avoiding overt politics (at least in their work).
	1:06pm TDK60: ↳ WM @1:04 Except for socially engaged artists like we folksters, punkers, reggae singers, the like.
	1:06pm chresti: ↳ Frances @12:54 I was in 5th grade
	1:06pm Bryce: totally agree! tho i don't mind when frederic rzewski has at it :)
	1:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hugely in favor of separating those worlds. Both are important but art + politics = propaganda (for good or bad) .. never been a fighting type but folks who proclaim "all art is political" will get a huffy response. yr rev. in violent defense of meaningless art...
	1:09pm WM: I'm going to hear the Sun Ra Arkestra tomorrow at White Eagle Hall here in JC. Sun Ra and Ezra Pound have been the two biggest aesthetic influences in my life. I discovered them both a long time ago when I was in highschool. How's that for an eclectic mix?
	1:10pm Andrea C: Hello Bryce and everyone.
	1:11pm coelacanth∅))): greetings Bryce
	1:13pm Bryce: hi, friends!!
	1:16pm PaulRobeson1924: Furiously Pumping their stiff green
	1:19pm TDK60: Thanks Bryce. Gotta head out early, to protest against genocide. See ya...
	1:21pm Bryce: yes!!!! seeya, tdk60
	1:23pm tim: Hiya Bryce! These sounds are making me quite happy.
	1:23pm Bryce: :)
	1:32pm Niall: ↳ Song: "All Ami" by "Le Syndicat" Well, you don’t hear Le Syndicat every day.
	1:33pm Bryce: hahaaaa :) just in time for lunch over here!
	1:34pm common: just took a nice long, cold walk in the sun with these noises. so good!
	1:36pm tim: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @1:09 I quite, RTD. It's quite a complicated issue. Art and politics are important. And important to me. I don't feel that music needs to be apolitical. I think it's OK for artists to express themselves politically. I don't agree when listeners/fans dismiss artists' work because the artists' politics differ. That's very narrow minded and a filter between the art and the person. I'm a flaming liberal. Johnny Ramone and Gilbert and George are conservative. I'd miss out on a lot of good art if I dismissed them because their politics don't align with mine. Enough said. I'm going back to being a muttonhead now. :)
	1:36pm Niall: @bryce I never gave you my unsolicited Favorite Thing You Played in 2023: it was Egisto Macchi’s “Il Deserto.”
	1:37pm Handy Haversack: Bryce! Brycepacitors!
	1:37pm tim: ↳ tim @1:36 ***it should start with "I quite agree".
	1:40pm tim: ↳ Niall @1:36 This is my unsolicited Bryce favorite: www.sonicjourneys.com...
	1:40pm Bryce: @hh, rerro! @niall, fascinating composer! he's like the other morricone. such a huge output, everything from cinematic corn to wild avant garde.
	1:43pm Bryce: @tim totally agree. tho not a political thing per se, someone like cosby can be erased from cultural memory as far as i'm concerned but plenty of great artists have had bad takes....
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: Speaking of deeply problematic artists, I'm going to a reading about H. P. Lovecraft's time in NYC today. No proceeds will benefit the HPL estate or racism in general, as best I can tell.
	1:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: holy damn, this piece. ALL these pieces.
	1:49pm Sem: ^ what the Reverend Turnip said.
	1:49pm common: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @1:46 i agree
	1:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ tim @1:36 absolutely to everything. Artists of all types have great potential to be comms operatives for whatever cause moves them. I just find the "ALL art is political" mantra to be a lazy and reductive thing; it imposes purpose on everyone, and as a lover of pure abstraction, can't stand it. Nothing wrong with propaganda, so it's just a beef with verbiage. Now it is MEEE that shut up. And dissolve. Excellent show for sitting outside with speakers blaring.
	1:50pm Handy Haversack: I do think we need to assess art and artists in the context of politics, though. It's all a part of critical judgment. When we like any piece, we're already engaged in that critical judgment. Being clear-eyed about its political situatedness does not interfere with that -- it adds layers. But no one ever said art was simple. THAT SAID, I sure am digging what Bryce is tossing out today! Glad I brung my art shovel along!
	1:52pm Edgar from Maine: I don't understand how people can create art effectively if they're deeply worried about what people will think of them in 100 years.
	1:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Edgar from Maine @1:52 I worry about what people will think of me 100 years in the past.
	1:54pm Bryce: you city slickers with your dirigibles.....
	1:55pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:53 As far as problems go that's a good one to have.
	1:55pm Ike: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 Is any of Lovecraft's writing actually anywhere near as good as a lot of the things that he inspired? Based on what I've attempted of his in the past, I feel like I'm betting off rereading Charles Stross's Laundry Files series...
	1:55pm Ike: *better off
	1:56pm WM: I think the poet George Oppen had the best strategy for balancing art and politics. There was a gap of 28 years between his first and second book of poetry. In the interim he was an organizer for the American Communist party, served in WWI (he was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge), and then lived in Mexico through much of the MaCarthy years. He balanced his poetry and art by separating them. (There is a Marxist element to his poetry, but it is not overt.) Eventually he won a Pulitzer Prize for his poetry. Oddly enough, Ezra Pound was one of his earliest promoters.
	1:56pm Edgar from Maine: I just finished "House on the Borderlands" by William Hodgson who was a contemporary of HPL and I think it's better than anything I've read by HPL.
	1:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @1:55 Well, to each their own. But I have a lot of room in my sensorium for wildly florid prose and totally unlikely applications of anthropology to million-year-old bas reliefs. Also: generationally traumatized penguins. They just do it for me! House on the Borderlands is pretty good. I don't think there's anything like HPL's imagination or sense of how to pace horror in it. But it's good! Clark Ashton-Smith is my fave of HPL's contemporaries, I think. Do NOT read letters between HPL and Robert Howard. Boiling-hot, Texas-style racism!
	2:00pm Ike: Wait... generationally traumatized penguins? OK, tell me more. Or at least point me to a particular story.
	2:02pm Bryce: speaking of wildly florid prose, anyone into bruno schulz?
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @2:00 At the Mountains of Madness. Between that and The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, I think Southern Hemisphere ocean birds have been definitively treated with in horror fiction!
	2:03pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Mausoleum / The Diva / Dying Down" by "Yannick Fr... Love this! yannickfranck.bandcamp.com...
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bryce @2:02 Oh, definitely!
	2:05pm WM: Bryce regarding your comments about Cosby: Eric Gill (1882 - 1940) was a very talented artist (engraver, sculpture). He also considered himself a committed Catholic. Yet, he had a voracious appetite. Nowadays he would almost certainly have been arrested for his misbehavior. Of course his behavior can't be overlooked, but does his behavior depreciate the value of his art?
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: For fans of early American weird fiction, Charles Brockden Brown also manages to get pretty florid. Our own Listener Bryan (the Professor) edited some critical editions of Brockden Brown!
	2:09pm Krys O.: "It's too complicated, Shrevie. You see, every time I pull out a record, there's this whole procedure I have to go through. I just want to hear the music...."
	2:15pm WM: Bruno Schulz! Have you seen the very excellent film Hourglass Sanatorium directed by Wojciech Has and based on the novel by Schulz? It's available on Youtube. I've been meaning to read the novel.
	2:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 Hey-o! Thanks for the shout out. Yes, if people are looking for books that feature spontaneous combustion, axe murdering antinomians, yellow fever epidemics, French Revolutionary crossdressers, sleepwalkers, or the occasional panther sushi fest.
	2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:15 Oh, man. That poor panther.
	2:20pm Rev. Turnip Druid: OOH, panther sushi... always thought "cormorant" sounded more like a fruit or berry than a large shorebird. Then started dreaming of cormorant jam on scones and thoughts promptly turned to brutalizing sea-fowl for a savory treat...
	2:21pm Hubig Pie: I enjoyed reading HPL's pre-Cthulhu short stories. The Music of Erich Zann and The Picture in the House my favs.
	2:22pm Bryce: ↳ WM @2:15 totally agree! and gill's a great example, for sure. i guess cos doesn't carry as much cultural capital for me personally, but that's absolutely subjective. went on a has bender during the panny-d! vacuumed up everything i could find in the digital wild. he made quite a few! but hourglass and saragossa, jeez.... i don't know if it's been eclipsed since, but hourglass sanatorium was for decades, iirc, the most expensive film ever made in poland? so good
	2:24pm common: ↳ Bryce @2:22 have always wanted to see that flick
	2:25pm Krys O.: I had a DVD of Saragossa Manuscript about ten years ago and loaned it to my brother. Haven't seen it since. :( I think I paid a decent amount of coin for it. I'm Cybulski fan. Loved his work with Wajda. I used to watch Wajda films with my dad.
	2:27pm Krys O.: For a good surreal time, I recommend The Cremator (1969) by Juraj Herz. AWESOME!!
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @2:25 *a Cybulski fan.
	2:28pm mic_a: Comparison of 3 sets of Schulz translations: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/studies-in-heresy-on-the-intimate-translations-and-translated-intimacies-of-bruno-schulz/ Hello, Bryce, everyone. Best wishes.
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:21 Totally great! More in his Dunsanian vein. Dunsany also very worth reading.
	2:28pm Bryce: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 oh man, don't know wajda or herz, but will look in!! are you coming down during the thon? if so, i can burn ye the hassesesess
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mic_a @2:28 Yes, I remember that article. Wild stuff!
	2:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Bryce @2:28 Sadly, no I won't be there physically. My heart will be there though. Be sure to keep it hydrated.
	2:30pm Krys O.: ↳ Bryce @2:28 Thee best Wajda is Ashes and Diamonds.
	2:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:29 I'll drop Scott a line and sign up for a shift of cardiohydration.
	2:34pm WM: Hourglass Sanatorium on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8nHhstKtEA&t=10s&ab_channel=Calvin I notice that the very opening scene of HS is featured on the WFMU website.
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 HA! Thanks!
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ WM @2:34 Thanks, WM.
	2:37pm Niall: ↳ tim @1:40 I need to find this!
	2:37pm Handy Haversack: Probably also a good time to mention that Horse Lords is touring and is playing Brooklyn just after Marathon, 3/19, at Market Hotel. We'll be there!
	2:42pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" love this. hi, Bryce and marbled ones. happy Friday!
	2:43pm WM: If you are a Wajda fan check out Katyn (2007) about the mass murcer of Polish officers by the Soviet army early in WWII. I think it was his last film. It's on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taVdIFONkCw&ab_channel=TheresaMarieMoreau
	2:43pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" A weather notice on my work PC just popped up: high winds soon. How did they know?
	2:44pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" Awesome this... kalerne.bandcamp.com...
	2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ WM @2:43 I have it on DVD. Burned a copy for my dad. It's extremely difficult to watch. My parents and their families were directly impacted in Poland by WWII. Mom and Dad were taken to do forced labor in Germany. They met in a refugee camp after the war. And so on.
	2:47pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" This is an amazing recording.
	2:47pm WM: Krys O: Quite a story. Can't think of any film that has such a personal meaning for me.
	2:50pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 and look what is happening now with russia, trying to be the big bully again
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" Mine ears overfloweth.
	2:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks drone!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Robm @2:50 but they'll always be #2 bully, after the u.s.
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: Thank youuuuu, Bryceeeee. Cheers, good buddies. MWA
	2:56pm Bryce: oh wow. it's that time! gotta re-file all these punk 7-inches.... thanks so much for hanging out, everyone!!! xo
	2:56pm Krys O.: ↳ WM @2:47 The woman who ran the refugee camp was Kathryn Hulme. She wrote the Nun's Story. She also wrote a book about her experience running the DP camp at Wildflecken. It's called The Wild Place. Very interesting. I heard lots of stories from my parents, but the book presented more of a picture of day to day life in the camp. My three sisters were born in refugee camps.
	2:56pm Krys O.: THANK YOU, BRYCE!!!!!! YOU ROCK OUR WORLD!
	2:56pm WM: Great show & and thanks for letting me blather.
	2:56pm Krys O.: And thanks to all you kind souls for engaging chat.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!
	2:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Bryce! Loved all the Ramones covers especially!
	2:58pm chresti: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm Bas NL: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm Robm: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:55 okay coela
	2:58pm Adi From Sheffield: Thanks Bryce!
	2:59pm chris in the redwoods: hey, thanks, Bryce!
	3:00pm Niall: I’ve decided that tonight’s playlist was tailored specifically for me, and I won’t brook contradictions.
	3:00pm steveo: thank you, Bryce!!!
	3:21pm WR: Thank you!

	12:48pm Frances: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:46 We are an S-corp, we don't allow trusts to be shareholders.
	12:50pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ northguineahills @12:48 I hear that.
	12:50pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: And I'm rolling 1.3 credits from last period to this year, I I only have 22.7 hours of CLE to go! Ugh.
	12:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:43 alas, my sprinkles taste of despair...
	12:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This Ilta Hämärä piece is the absolute, man, the [emphasis added] absolute.
	12:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @12:50 I am sorry. Come to think of it, has anyone come out with cannabis-infused sprinkles yet? ponders
	12:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @12:51 Agreed, digging this track so so much.
	12:52pm Y. pestis: SWEAT YOUR CHEESES BUT NOT ON MY SALAD
	12:53pm Bryce: hahaaaaaa
	12:53pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Anyway, back to the grind....
	12:54pm Frances: Monday, 3/13/67, I was in first grade
	12:57pm WM: Mention of Ezra Pound, my favorite poet.
	12:58pm Bryce: poet (and fascism enthusiast!)
	12:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: well everybody needs a hobby, i suppose
	1:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: dangerously close to clicky-starring this whole gott-damned episode
	1:00pm Bryce: so odd, separating artists' legitimate art from their weird politics
	1:01pm WM: Too true, but I love his poetry anyway.
	1:02pm chresti: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @12:46 Jeez
	1:04pm WM: I've come to the conclusion that, for the most part, art and politics don't mix well. There are exceptions, but most artists are better off avoiding overt politics (at least in their work).
	1:06pm TDK60: ↳ WM @1:04 Except for socially engaged artists like we folksters, punkers, reggae singers, the like.
	1:06pm chresti: ↳ Frances @12:54 I was in 5th grade
	1:06pm Bryce: totally agree! tho i don't mind when frederic rzewski has at it :)
	1:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hugely in favor of separating those worlds. Both are important but art + politics = propaganda (for good or bad) .. never been a fighting type but folks who proclaim "all art is political" will get a huffy response. yr rev. in violent defense of meaningless art...
	1:09pm WM: I'm going to hear the Sun Ra Arkestra tomorrow at White Eagle Hall here in JC. Sun Ra and Ezra Pound have been the two biggest aesthetic influences in my life. I discovered them both a long time ago when I was in highschool. How's that for an eclectic mix?
	1:10pm Andrea C: Hello Bryce and everyone.
	1:11pm coelacanth∅))): greetings Bryce
	1:13pm Bryce: hi, friends!!
	1:16pm PaulRobeson1924: Furiously Pumping their stiff green
	1:19pm TDK60: Thanks Bryce. Gotta head out early, to protest against genocide. See ya...
	1:21pm Bryce: yes!!!! seeya, tdk60
	1:23pm tim: Hiya Bryce! These sounds are making me quite happy.
	1:23pm Bryce: :)
	1:32pm Niall: ↳ Song: "All Ami" by "Le Syndicat" Well, you don’t hear Le Syndicat every day.
	1:33pm Bryce: hahaaaa :) just in time for lunch over here!
	1:34pm common: just took a nice long, cold walk in the sun with these noises. so good!
	1:36pm tim: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @1:09 I quite, RTD. It's quite a complicated issue. Art and politics are important. And important to me. I don't feel that music needs to be apolitical. I think it's OK for artists to express themselves politically. I don't agree when listeners/fans dismiss artists' work because the artists' politics differ. That's very narrow minded and a filter between the art and the person. I'm a flaming liberal. Johnny Ramone and Gilbert and George are conservative. I'd miss out on a lot of good art if I dismissed them because their politics don't align with mine. Enough said. I'm going back to being a muttonhead now. :)
	1:36pm Niall: @bryce I never gave you my unsolicited Favorite Thing You Played in 2023: it was Egisto Macchi’s “Il Deserto.”
	1:37pm Handy Haversack: Bryce! Brycepacitors!
	1:37pm tim: ↳ tim @1:36 ***it should start with "I quite agree".
	1:40pm tim: ↳ Niall @1:36 This is my unsolicited Bryce favorite: www.sonicjourneys.com...
	1:40pm Bryce: @hh, rerro! @niall, fascinating composer! he's like the other morricone. such a huge output, everything from cinematic corn to wild avant garde.
	1:43pm Bryce: @tim totally agree. tho not a political thing per se, someone like cosby can be erased from cultural memory as far as i'm concerned but plenty of great artists have had bad takes....
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: Speaking of deeply problematic artists, I'm going to a reading about H. P. Lovecraft's time in NYC today. No proceeds will benefit the HPL estate or racism in general, as best I can tell.
	1:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: holy damn, this piece. ALL these pieces.
	1:49pm Sem: ^ what the Reverend Turnip said.
	1:49pm common: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @1:46 i agree
	1:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ tim @1:36 absolutely to everything. Artists of all types have great potential to be comms operatives for whatever cause moves them. I just find the "ALL art is political" mantra to be a lazy and reductive thing; it imposes purpose on everyone, and as a lover of pure abstraction, can't stand it. Nothing wrong with propaganda, so it's just a beef with verbiage. Now it is MEEE that shut up. And dissolve. Excellent show for sitting outside with speakers blaring.
	1:50pm Handy Haversack: I do think we need to assess art and artists in the context of politics, though. It's all a part of critical judgment. When we like any piece, we're already engaged in that critical judgment. Being clear-eyed about its political situatedness does not interfere with that -- it adds layers. But no one ever said art was simple. THAT SAID, I sure am digging what Bryce is tossing out today! Glad I brung my art shovel along!
	1:52pm Edgar from Maine: I don't understand how people can create art effectively if they're deeply worried about what people will think of them in 100 years.
	1:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Edgar from Maine @1:52 I worry about what people will think of me 100 years in the past.
	1:54pm Bryce: you city slickers with your dirigibles.....
	1:55pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:53 As far as problems go that's a good one to have.
	1:55pm Ike: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:46 Is any of Lovecraft's writing actually anywhere near as good as a lot of the things that he inspired? Based on what I've attempted of his in the past, I feel like I'm betting off rereading Charles Stross's Laundry Files series...
	1:55pm Ike: *better off
	1:56pm WM: I think the poet George Oppen had the best strategy for balancing art and politics. There was a gap of 28 years between his first and second book of poetry. In the interim he was an organizer for the American Communist party, served in WWI (he was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge), and then lived in Mexico through much of the MaCarthy years. He balanced his poetry and art by separating them. (There is a Marxist element to his poetry, but it is not overt.) Eventually he won a Pulitzer Prize for his poetry. Oddly enough, Ezra Pound was one of his earliest promoters.
	1:56pm Edgar from Maine: I just finished "House on the Borderlands" by William Hodgson who was a contemporary of HPL and I think it's better than anything I've read by HPL.
	1:58pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @1:55 Well, to each their own. But I have a lot of room in my sensorium for wildly florid prose and totally unlikely applications of anthropology to million-year-old bas reliefs. Also: generationally traumatized penguins. They just do it for me! House on the Borderlands is pretty good. I don't think there's anything like HPL's imagination or sense of how to pace horror in it. But it's good! Clark Ashton-Smith is my fave of HPL's contemporaries, I think. Do NOT read letters between HPL and Robert Howard. Boiling-hot, Texas-style racism!
	2:00pm Ike: Wait... generationally traumatized penguins? OK, tell me more. Or at least point me to a particular story.
	2:02pm Bryce: speaking of wildly florid prose, anyone into bruno schulz?
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @2:00 At the Mountains of Madness. Between that and The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, I think Southern Hemisphere ocean birds have been definitively treated with in horror fiction!
	2:03pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Mausoleum / The Diva / Dying Down" by "Yannick Fr... Love this! yannickfranck.bandcamp.com...
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Bryce @2:02 Oh, definitely!
	2:05pm WM: Bryce regarding your comments about Cosby: Eric Gill (1882 - 1940) was a very talented artist (engraver, sculpture). He also considered himself a committed Catholic. Yet, he had a voracious appetite. Nowadays he would almost certainly have been arrested for his misbehavior. Of course his behavior can't be overlooked, but does his behavior depreciate the value of his art?
	2:06pm Handy Haversack: For fans of early American weird fiction, Charles Brockden Brown also manages to get pretty florid. Our own Listener Bryan (the Professor) edited some critical editions of Brockden Brown!
	2:09pm Krys O.: "It's too complicated, Shrevie. You see, every time I pull out a record, there's this whole procedure I have to go through. I just want to hear the music...."
	2:15pm WM: Bruno Schulz! Have you seen the very excellent film Hourglass Sanatorium directed by Wojciech Has and based on the novel by Schulz? It's available on Youtube. I've been meaning to read the novel.
	2:15pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @2:06 Hey-o! Thanks for the shout out. Yes, if people are looking for books that feature spontaneous combustion, axe murdering antinomians, yellow fever epidemics, French Revolutionary crossdressers, sleepwalkers, or the occasional panther sushi fest.
	2:16pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @2:15 Oh, man. That poor panther.
	2:20pm Rev. Turnip Druid: OOH, panther sushi... always thought "cormorant" sounded more like a fruit or berry than a large shorebird. Then started dreaming of cormorant jam on scones and thoughts promptly turned to brutalizing sea-fowl for a savory treat...
	2:21pm Hubig Pie: I enjoyed reading HPL's pre-Cthulhu short stories. The Music of Erich Zann and The Picture in the House my favs.
	2:22pm Bryce: ↳ WM @2:15 totally agree! and gill's a great example, for sure. i guess cos doesn't carry as much cultural capital for me personally, but that's absolutely subjective. went on a has bender during the panny-d! vacuumed up everything i could find in the digital wild. he made quite a few! but hourglass and saragossa, jeez.... i don't know if it's been eclipsed since, but hourglass sanatorium was for decades, iirc, the most expensive film ever made in poland? so good
	2:24pm common: ↳ Bryce @2:22 have always wanted to see that flick
	2:25pm Krys O.: I had a DVD of Saragossa Manuscript about ten years ago and loaned it to my brother. Haven't seen it since. :( I think I paid a decent amount of coin for it. I'm Cybulski fan. Loved his work with Wajda. I used to watch Wajda films with my dad.
	2:27pm Krys O.: For a good surreal time, I recommend The Cremator (1969) by Juraj Herz. AWESOME!!
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @2:25 *a Cybulski fan.
	2:28pm mic_a: Comparison of 3 sets of Schulz translations: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/studies-in-heresy-on-the-intimate-translations-and-translated-intimacies-of-bruno-schulz/ Hello, Bryce, everyone. Best wishes.
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:21 Totally great! More in his Dunsanian vein. Dunsany also very worth reading.
	2:28pm Bryce: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 oh man, don't know wajda or herz, but will look in!! are you coming down during the thon? if so, i can burn ye the hassesesess
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mic_a @2:28 Yes, I remember that article. Wild stuff!
	2:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Bryce @2:28 Sadly, no I won't be there physically. My heart will be there though. Be sure to keep it hydrated.
	2:30pm Krys O.: ↳ Bryce @2:28 Thee best Wajda is Ashes and Diamonds.
	2:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @2:29 I'll drop Scott a line and sign up for a shift of cardiohydration.
	2:34pm WM: Hourglass Sanatorium on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8nHhstKtEA&t=10s&ab_channel=Calvin I notice that the very opening scene of HS is featured on the WFMU website.
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:33 HA! Thanks!
	2:36pm Krys O.: ↳ WM @2:34 Thanks, WM.
	2:37pm Niall: ↳ tim @1:40 I need to find this!
	2:37pm Handy Haversack: Probably also a good time to mention that Horse Lords is touring and is playing Brooklyn just after Marathon, 3/19, at Market Hotel. We'll be there!
	2:42pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" love this. hi, Bryce and marbled ones. happy Friday!
	2:43pm WM: If you are a Wajda fan check out Katyn (2007) about the mass murcer of Polish officers by the Soviet army early in WWII. I think it was his last film. It's on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taVdIFONkCw&ab_channel=TheresaMarieMoreau
	2:43pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" A weather notice on my work PC just popped up: high winds soon. How did they know?
	2:44pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" Awesome this... kalerne.bandcamp.com...
	2:45pm Krys O.: ↳ WM @2:43 I have it on DVD. Burned a copy for my dad. It's extremely difficult to watch. My parents and their families were directly impacted in Poland by WWII. Mom and Dad were taken to do forced labor in Germany. They met in a refugee camp after the war. And so on.
	2:47pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" This is an amazing recording.
	2:47pm WM: Krys O: Quite a story. Can't think of any film that has such a personal meaning for me.
	2:50pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:45 and look what is happening now with russia, trying to be the big bully again
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Overflows" by "Yannick Dauby" Mine ears overfloweth.
	2:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks drone!
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Robm @2:50 but they'll always be #2 bully, after the u.s.
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: Thank youuuuu, Bryceeeee. Cheers, good buddies. MWA
	2:56pm Bryce: oh wow. it's that time! gotta re-file all these punk 7-inches.... thanks so much for hanging out, everyone!!! xo
	2:56pm Krys O.: ↳ WM @2:47 The woman who ran the refugee camp was Kathryn Hulme. She wrote the Nun's Story. She also wrote a book about her experience running the DP camp at Wildflecken. It's called The Wild Place. Very interesting. I heard lots of stories from my parents, but the book presented more of a picture of day to day life in the camp. My three sisters were born in refugee camps.
	2:56pm Krys O.: THANK YOU, BRYCE!!!!!! YOU ROCK OUR WORLD!
	2:56pm WM: Great show & and thanks for letting me blather.
	2:56pm Krys O.: And thanks to all you kind souls for engaging chat.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!
	2:57pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Bryce! Loved all the Ramones covers especially!
	2:58pm chresti: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm Bas NL: Thanks Bryce!
	2:58pm Robm: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:55 okay coela
	2:58pm Adi From Sheffield: Thanks Bryce!
	2:59pm chris in the redwoods: hey, thanks, Bryce!
