	11:20am gene sculatti: ow,Kenny B is great! Had never listened to him
	11:22am JoeChrisMorris: Morning all! Going on year 25 of listening to Bob. Useless without my tea, sorry about that, having a lie-in
	🥁 11:22am Gina Bacon: This is so great!
	11:23am JoeChrisMorris: Oh no, the brass reminds me of Trout Mask!
	11:23am Bob Brainen: ↳ gene sculatti @11:20 Morning JoeChrisMorris

	11:25am Meself: ↳ Jeff @11:01 Like it! Hail all pre-hipsters.

	11:29am Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @11:28 Me too! He did great work.
	11:29am JoeChrisMorris: Tell me more
	11:29am JoeChrisMorris: I don't recognize anyone post Left Banke
	11:31am JoeChrisMorris: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:02 Oh no! Melancholy man!!
	11:32am Dean: Seems everybody's singin', too.
	11:33am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ wmfromd @11:28 likewise.
	11:34am DJ Peter: As it happens the Stone Church Press blog put out a long post yesterday of Aaron Lange's Japan diary. Some clear-sighted views, some hazier through USA lens. But a fun read: www.patreon.com...
	🥁 11:35am (Mr) Bill: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:31 Exactly and precisely. You can likely appreciate the appeal of this song in particular and Pinder’s work overall to a depressed and overly contemplative late teen.
	11:35am DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @11:34 Referring to Spampinato Bros.
	11:37am DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "New Monastery" by "Andrew Hill" I'll be featuring a lot of Blue Note vault stuff today, The Laughing Clock fills in for Sewelson after Bob B. wraps up. RIP Michael Cuscuna!
	11:40am Franco Twinkie: Interesting revelation Bob. When do we let go of self imposed judgements of value? As a youngster, I too would create frameworks of worthiness that I imposed on things that never recognized my existence. I'm a lot looser in my old age, or looked at another way, I simply don't give a shit.
	🥁 11:42am wmfromd: Saw Andrew Hill with Milford Graves at the Knitting Factory (early 90's?) Off the hook.
	11:49am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:29 Heres the Earth Flower bandcamp page: earthflower.bandcamp.com...
	11:51am Meself: Finally, Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill documentary is available to stream! You can rent it on Amazon Prime.
	11:53am Dean: I'm hearing something Leonard Cohen-ish in St. John's melody.
	12:05pm Meself: ↳ Song: "Why Wasn't I Made Of Stone" by "Tip 'N Tinker & C... Beautiful
	12:16pm doctorjazz: Hi Bob and listeners out there!! In transit, parked now, been listening while driving.
	12:18pm Roberto: KITTTIIIEESSSS
	12:18pm doctorjazz: Know of YMG and Weekend, but don't know the music, looking forward to a schooling!
	12:20pm fred: Just saying, PeterDE is filling in for Dave later today. Not sure he had time to grow a decent beard though
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Hi doctorjazz
	12:21pm Bob Brainen: Roberto, my girls.
	12:22pm Roberto: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:21 Who's the big'n?
	12:24pm Dean: The LA show was Oct. 29, 1980, quite a long time ago.
	12:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ fred @12:20 I didn’t shave this morning but I don’t know that you’ll be able to hear that on mic
	12:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @12:26 Keep that up for 4-5 more years, and you'll get to Free World beard level...
	12:30pm Marshland: Always great to hear YMG and Weekend. Those early Rough Trade releases were just so good.
	12:30pm patrick321: Hey Bob and all I've been enjoying the show but had to sign in to like this one
	12:31pm fred: ↳ doctorjazz @12:28 More like 2 decades I think
	12:33pm adamdoesit: Hi Bob and bobolinks! Been listening while running my errands (dog food re-up). Good sounds all around.
	12:33pm Marshland: I was at this 2018 gig at Café Oto in London, still sounding great: www.cafeoto.co.uk...
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: Hey! - to all on board!
	12:35pm Dean: It has just occurred to me that the marble in Young Marble Giants is not the little spherical object kids play with, but the material with which Greek and Renaissance sculptors and architects worked.
	12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Winter Moon" by "Weekend w/ Keith Tippett" Very cool track!
	12:36pm patrick321: Such a great EP
	12:36pm Dean: Only too me 44 years to figure that out. Duh.
	12:36pm Dean: ^took
	12:38pm fred: ↳ Dean @12:36 It might take that long for Peter to grow a Free World beard
	12:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:35 I like the image of giants sitting around playing marbles trying to get the tiny spheres against their gigantic thumbs...
	12:39pm Dean: I always heard YMG music as the sound made by a marble rolling around in a shoebox.
	12:39pm Dean: As here...
	12:39pm Listener Robert: Uh-oh, this is WFMU's default "in case of trouble" signal!
	12:40pm doctorjazz: Missed these bands back in the day (and the British jazz players).
	12:40pm adamdoesit: And here I was picturing freshly-baked, half-rye, half-pumpernickel giants.
	12:40pm patrick321: I bought all the Working Week records later but they never captured the easy light-hearted magic of Weekend.
	12:40pm fred: ↳ Dean @12:39 As opposed to Bryce's marbles in a blender?
	12:41pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:22 The new gal is Rosie...am I remembering right?
	12:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Searching for Mr. Right" by "Young Marble Giants" I'm doing back stretching moves to this.
	🥁 12:44pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Zebra Trucks" by "Young Marble Giants" I've heard this in someone's bed music but who?
	12:46pm sydniuß: ↳ chresti @12:44 It is a Ken Classic©
	🥁 12:49pm chresti: ↳ sydniuß @12:46 Aw thanks!
	12:49pm fred: ↳ chresti @12:44 Mary Wing? She did use it
	12:49pm Bob Brainen: Sorry, yes, Rosie, calico kitten, Ruthie, the tiger
	12:53pm sydniuß: ↳ chresti @12:49 sorry if I ruined the joke; context is hard with text only
	🥁 12:57pm chresti: ↳ sydniuß @12:53 ha! it went over my head anyway..
	12:59pm SecretSquirrel: I think the phrase “Young Marble Giant” came from an art history textbook
	12:59pm Elvin: This is my favorite song by weekend.
	1:03pm ∫ydniuß: Aww that kitty looks so happy Bob! 😺
	1:06pm Franco Twinkie: I love the sound of lead bass!
	1:12pm Dean: I've actually run off to the store and returned in the interim. Bryce plays marbles in a blender? That's brilliant.
	1:12pm Dean: An art history textbook? Makes sense, but only just now to me.
	1:13pm Dean: However, I do know that Elgin is pronounced with a hard g.
	1:18pm SecretSquirrel: “Salad Days” always gives me goosebumps. So simple, poignant, beautiful.
	1:19pm Dean: You know, Elgin? The guy who took his marbles and went home?
	1:23pm adamdoesit: Allison Statton's voice decongests my heart. YMG's all new to me, and also familiar. I think Stephin Merritt must've listened closely.
	1:24pm ?: stop smacking your chops!, Misophonia!
	1:24pm SecretSquirrel: Apparently, “Noddemix” is a Swedish breakfast bar.
	1:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Spanish Swat" by "Jelly Roll Morton" So good!
	1:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @1:28 I feel this one, too. I love when Jelly speaks, but hearing him strut his piano stuff might be even better.
	1:30pm Dean: The word "gist" derives from Old French, and gained wide usage in Anglo-Norman law.
	1:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @1:30 Is there a word for someone is speaks BS but then backs it up when they play?
	1:33pm Dean: Yes, DJ Peter. Muhammad Ali.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Spanish Swat" by "Jelly Roll Morton" What DJ Peter and adamdoesit said, loved the Jelly Roll (just got home)! I also like to hear him talk, but just playing even more!
	1:34pm Dean: Compare David Lee Roth.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: Time for some matzoh with cream cheese and lox. (starving)
	1:36pm Dean: I'm skimming a food magazine that arrived at our house for some unknown reason. An ad appears for "The first and only heated ice press of its kind." A gift, I suppose, for the person who has two of everything.
	1:38pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @1:36 Lox! Now I'm hungry, too. @DJ Peter, what Dean said. That would make "greatest" a valid answer, too.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Hippy Song" by "Slim Harpo" The title of this album is a bit puzzling/sad-did Slim forget hie blues?
	1:50pm Sem: Thanks for the spins, Bob. I fully endorse your fondness of sound. Seeya later.
	1:51pm sydniuß: ↳ Dean @1:36 pardon me, do you have a spare ice press?
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	🥁 1:52pm listener 126464: Big thanks once again, Bob.
	1:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @1:38 Yes, the greatest! Hats off, Dean!
	1:54pm DJ Peter: The Laughing Clock fills in for Music for a Free World, coming up! wfmu.org...
	1:54pm ∫ydniuß: Bob! Thanks!
	1:55pm Meself: Great OHW! Thanks! Learned a lot.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob, dug the show!
	🥁 1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Fabulous, Bob. See you all after May Day.
	1:58pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:58pm wmfromd: Another great excursion Bob. Thanks!
	1:59pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob! Great show.

	11:22am JoeChrisMorris: Morning all! Going on year 25 of listening to Bob. Useless without my tea, sorry about that, having a lie-in
	🥁 11:22am Gina Bacon: This is so great!
	11:23am JoeChrisMorris: Oh no, the brass reminds me of Trout Mask!
	11:23am Bob Brainen: ↳ gene sculatti @11:20 Morning JoeChrisMorris
	🥁 11:24am (Mr) Bill: Happy birthday, Bob. (Three days ago?)
	11:25am Meself: ↳ Jeff @11:01 Like it! Hail all pre-hipsters.
	11:25am JoeChrisMorris: oh! happy birthday Bob! you're a Virgo (well, close enough!)
	11:26am Dean: 19th century Soul, nice!
	11:27am JoeChrisMorris: This is so much better than Syd's Double O Bo! the backing vox are AWESOME! good choice
	🥁 11:28am wmfromd: I was saddened by the news of Michael Cuscuna's passing.
	11:29am Bob Brainen: ↳ wmfromd @11:28 Me too! He did great work.
	11:29am JoeChrisMorris: Tell me more
	11:29am JoeChrisMorris: I don't recognize anyone post Left Banke
	11:31am JoeChrisMorris: ↳ (Mr) Bill @11:02 Oh no! Melancholy man!!
	11:32am Dean: Seems everybody's singin', too.
	11:33am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ wmfromd @11:28 likewise.
	11:34am DJ Peter: As it happens the Stone Church Press blog put out a long post yesterday of Aaron Lange's Japan diary. Some clear-sighted views, some hazier through USA lens. But a fun read: www.patreon.com...
	🥁 11:35am (Mr) Bill: ↳ JoeChrisMorris @11:31 Exactly and precisely. You can likely appreciate the appeal of this song in particular and Pinder’s work overall to a depressed and overly contemplative late teen.
	11:35am DJ Peter: ↳ DJ Peter @11:34 Referring to Spampinato Bros.
	11:37am DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "New Monastery" by "Andrew Hill" I'll be featuring a lot of Blue Note vault stuff today, The Laughing Clock fills in for Sewelson after Bob B. wraps up. RIP Michael Cuscuna!
	11:40am Franco Twinkie: Interesting revelation Bob. When do we let go of self imposed judgements of value? As a youngster, I too would create frameworks of worthiness that I imposed on things that never recognized my existence. I'm a lot looser in my old age, or looked at another way, I simply don't give a shit.
	🥁 11:42am wmfromd: Saw Andrew Hill with Milford Graves at the Knitting Factory (early 90's?) Off the hook.
	11:49am Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Bob Brainen @11:29 Heres the Earth Flower bandcamp page: earthflower.bandcamp.com...
	11:51am Meself: Finally, Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill documentary is available to stream! You can rent it on Amazon Prime.
	11:53am Dean: I'm hearing something Leonard Cohen-ish in St. John's melody.
	12:05pm Meself: ↳ Song: "Why Wasn't I Made Of Stone" by "Tip 'N Tinker & C... Beautiful
	12:16pm doctorjazz: Hi Bob and listeners out there!! In transit, parked now, been listening while driving.
	12:18pm Roberto: KITTTIIIEESSSS
	12:18pm doctorjazz: Know of YMG and Weekend, but don't know the music, looking forward to a schooling!
	12:20pm fred: Just saying, PeterDE is filling in for Dave later today. Not sure he had time to grow a decent beard though
	12:20pm Bob Brainen: Hi doctorjazz
	12:21pm Bob Brainen: Roberto, my girls.
	12:22pm Roberto: ↳ Bob Brainen @12:21 Who's the big'n?
	12:24pm Dean: The LA show was Oct. 29, 1980, quite a long time ago.
	12:26pm DJ Peter: ↳ fred @12:20 I didn’t shave this morning but I don’t know that you’ll be able to hear that on mic
	12:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @12:26 Keep that up for 4-5 more years, and you'll get to Free World beard level...
	12:30pm Marshland: Always great to hear YMG and Weekend. Those early Rough Trade releases were just so good.
	12:30pm patrick321: Hey Bob and all I've been enjoying the show but had to sign in to like this one
	12:31pm fred: ↳ doctorjazz @12:28 More like 2 decades I think
	12:33pm adamdoesit: Hi Bob and bobolinks! Been listening while running my errands (dog food re-up). Good sounds all around.
	12:33pm Marshland: I was at this 2018 gig at Café Oto in London, still sounding great: www.cafeoto.co.uk...
	12:34pm Bob Brainen: Hey! - to all on board!
	12:35pm Dean: It has just occurred to me that the marble in Young Marble Giants is not the little spherical object kids play with, but the material with which Greek and Renaissance sculptors and architects worked.
	12:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Winter Moon" by "Weekend w/ Keith Tippett" Very cool track!
	12:36pm patrick321: Such a great EP
	12:36pm Dean: Only too me 44 years to figure that out. Duh.
	12:36pm Dean: ^took
	12:38pm fred: ↳ Dean @12:36 It might take that long for Peter to grow a Free World beard
	12:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @12:35 I like the image of giants sitting around playing marbles trying to get the tiny spheres against their gigantic thumbs...
	12:39pm Dean: I always heard YMG music as the sound made by a marble rolling around in a shoebox.
	12:39pm Dean: As here...
	12:39pm Listener Robert: Uh-oh, this is WFMU's default "in case of trouble" signal!
	12:40pm doctorjazz: Missed these bands back in the day (and the British jazz players).
	12:40pm adamdoesit: And here I was picturing freshly-baked, half-rye, half-pumpernickel giants.
	12:40pm patrick321: I bought all the Working Week records later but they never captured the easy light-hearted magic of Weekend.
	12:40pm fred: ↳ Dean @12:39 As opposed to Bryce's marbles in a blender?
	12:41pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @12:22 The new gal is Rosie...am I remembering right?
	12:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Searching for Mr. Right" by "Young Marble Giants" I'm doing back stretching moves to this.
	🥁 12:44pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Zebra Trucks" by "Young Marble Giants" I've heard this in someone's bed music but who?
	12:46pm sydniuß: ↳ chresti @12:44 It is a Ken Classic©
	🥁 12:49pm chresti: ↳ sydniuß @12:46 Aw thanks!
	12:49pm fred: ↳ chresti @12:44 Mary Wing? She did use it
	12:49pm Bob Brainen: Sorry, yes, Rosie, calico kitten, Ruthie, the tiger
	12:53pm sydniuß: ↳ chresti @12:49 sorry if I ruined the joke; context is hard with text only
	🥁 12:57pm chresti: ↳ sydniuß @12:53 ha! it went over my head anyway..
	12:59pm SecretSquirrel: I think the phrase “Young Marble Giant” came from an art history textbook
	12:59pm Elvin: This is my favorite song by weekend.
	1:03pm ∫ydniuß: Aww that kitty looks so happy Bob! 😺
	1:06pm Franco Twinkie: I love the sound of lead bass!
	1:12pm Dean: I've actually run off to the store and returned in the interim. Bryce plays marbles in a blender? That's brilliant.
	1:12pm Dean: An art history textbook? Makes sense, but only just now to me.
	1:13pm Dean: However, I do know that Elgin is pronounced with a hard g.
	1:18pm SecretSquirrel: “Salad Days” always gives me goosebumps. So simple, poignant, beautiful.
	1:19pm Dean: You know, Elgin? The guy who took his marbles and went home?
	1:23pm adamdoesit: Allison Statton's voice decongests my heart. YMG's all new to me, and also familiar. I think Stephin Merritt must've listened closely.
	1:24pm ?: stop smacking your chops!, Misophonia!
	1:24pm SecretSquirrel: Apparently, “Noddemix” is a Swedish breakfast bar.
	1:28pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Spanish Swat" by "Jelly Roll Morton" So good!
	1:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @1:28 I feel this one, too. I love when Jelly speaks, but hearing him strut his piano stuff might be even better.
	1:30pm Dean: The word "gist" derives from Old French, and gained wide usage in Anglo-Norman law.
	1:32pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @1:30 Is there a word for someone is speaks BS but then backs it up when they play?
	1:33pm Dean: Yes, DJ Peter. Muhammad Ali.
	1:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Spanish Swat" by "Jelly Roll Morton" What DJ Peter and adamdoesit said, loved the Jelly Roll (just got home)! I also like to hear him talk, but just playing even more!
	1:34pm Dean: Compare David Lee Roth.
	1:36pm doctorjazz: Time for some matzoh with cream cheese and lox. (starving)
	1:36pm Dean: I'm skimming a food magazine that arrived at our house for some unknown reason. An ad appears for "The first and only heated ice press of its kind." A gift, I suppose, for the person who has two of everything.
	1:38pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @1:36 Lox! Now I'm hungry, too. @DJ Peter, what Dean said. That would make "greatest" a valid answer, too.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Hippy Song" by "Slim Harpo" The title of this album is a bit puzzling/sad-did Slim forget hie blues?
	1:50pm Sem: Thanks for the spins, Bob. I fully endorse your fondness of sound. Seeya later.
	1:51pm sydniuß: ↳ Dean @1:36 pardon me, do you have a spare ice press?
	1:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an inspired show! Thanks, Bob!
	🥁 1:52pm listener 126464: Big thanks once again, Bob.
	1:53pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @1:38 Yes, the greatest! Hats off, Dean!
	1:54pm DJ Peter: The Laughing Clock fills in for Music for a Free World, coming up! wfmu.org...
	1:54pm ∫ydniuß: Bob! Thanks!
	1:55pm Meself: Great OHW! Thanks! Learned a lot.
	1:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Bob, dug the show!
	🥁 1:57pm (Mr) Bill: Fabulous, Bob. See you all after May Day.
	1:58pm Jeff: Thanks Bob!
	🥁 1:58pm wmfromd: Another great excursion Bob. Thanks!
	1:59pm adamdoesit: Thank you, Bob! Great show.
