	1:04pm CDToaster: Just a quick note to say how good it is to still hear you broadcasting, Charlie. I think we go waaaay back, right? via some Zappa rarities... Thanks for the updates to when you'll be filling-in. You know I love all fmu DJ's, but of course some have an extra special voice that's so nice to listen to, and you've got it. You really have a very nice and relaxed way of speaking. Looking forward to many more years hearing your wonderful, usually very relaxing shows (mta) Tony

	1:10pm spodiodi: greetings, Charlie and do-nothings!
	1:10pm Charlie: hiya spodiodi!
	1:11pm Charlie: ↳ People Like Us @12:52 Vicki, is it pronounced like "copy" or like "copious," or is it DJ's choice?
	1:14pm wendy del formaggio: Cindy Lee. ❤️❤️❤️
	1:14pm tom tom the pipers son: 'sorrow' revised
	1:15pm People Like Us: ↳ Charlie @1:11 Your choice! I say copia like copious but copy also stems from the same word so i think both are correct!
	1:18pm Charlie: ↳ People Like Us @1:15 I appreciate you doing mash-ups with language as well as with audio annd video;)
	1:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @1:10 hiya, spodi!
	1:25pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Little Girl Blue" by "Nina Simone" Do you have a date for this recording?
	1:26pm Charlie: ↳ βrian @1:25 1959 I think. her first album
	1:26pm Dean: No matter what is on my mind, I'm finding that I think on almost a daily basis of Nina Simone and Johann Sebastian Bach.
	1:27pm tom tom the pipers son: nice follow
	👻 1:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "River" by "Joni Mitchell" I thought there was a law against playing this any time but December...
	1:32pm Dean: Per OED, /ˈkəʊpɪə/ So, like copious without the terminal s.
	👻 1:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Badfinger" Ahhhh.....
	1:34pm tom tom the pipers son: dig this eye the most, and most disturbing
	1:34pm wendy del formaggio: OMG, every time I hear this Badfinger song, I say to myself, “Why don’t I have this single? I love it so much.”
	1:35pm Dean: Still another Badfinger tune was playing yesterday at my Trader Joe's.
	👻 1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Badfinger" Cool, interesting chords that don't call attention to themselves...
	1:36pm Dean: And honest to god, Badfinger is still one of the best band names ever.
	1:37pm tom tom the pipers son: dig these eyes in simple frames...
	1:37pm northguineahills: Charlie!
	1:38pm Dean: https://artvee.com/dl/plate-xi-a-severely-burned-eye-in-the-acute-stage-b-slightly-later-stage-of-acute-burning#00

	1:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @1:39 i find the ones in the simple frames more interesting ...reminding me of "the prisoner"
	1:52pm Dean: The framed ones remind me in a good way of the recent Tudors exhibition, Hilliard's miniatures.
	👻 1:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Caligari's Mirror" by "Pere Ubu" Nice!
	1:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @1:52 hilliard often regarded as britain's first notable painter. ...never seen his miniatures

	2:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "What Do We Do With a Drunken Sailor?" by "David T... i don't think david thomas has any answers abot what to do with...

	2:05pm Chris S.: Wait - DID you play Pere Ubu?? Now I'm confused.
	2:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ah the ol' change of pace...
	2:07pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @2:05 Yes, I played Pere Ubu, followed by David Thomas actually singing the whole "what do we do with a drunken sailor"!
	2:09pm Chris S.: OK, that's what was playing as I was first logging in.
	👻 2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "What Do We Do With a Drunken Sailor?" by "David T... Saw David Thomas once, wotta trip!
	2:22pm Chris S.: ↳ doctorjazz @2:17 I saw Pere Ubu years ago in Seattle on the "Story of My Life" tour. Hmm. I don't think of them as "touring." Anyway, they were performing in support of that album - sort of. It was brilliant.
	2:23pm Charlie: I saw Pere Ubu once too. Great show. At the Knitting Factory.
	2:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Fanfare, Fire Poem" by "Arthur Brown" not to date myself, or anything, but this was the first record I bought with my own money.
	2:28pm Chris S.: "Chuck and Danny"! They're famous!!Aren't they from the Atacama?
	2:29pm Chris S.: Does this Eno song make anyone else emotional? It gets me every time.
	2:31pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @2:29 It gets me too. Much of this album does. The Big Ship is another.
	2:32pm Chris S.: ↳ Charlie @2:31 So very pretty and melancholy.
	2:33pm wendy del formaggio: Holy cow! The Eno to YLT segue was FLAWLESS.
	2:34pm Charlie: ↳ wendy del formaggio @2:33 I feel like this YLT song is almost inspired by that Eno song
	2:35pm Chris S.: ↳ Charlie @2:34 Excellent. Such a nice segue, too.
	👻 2:45pm doctorjazz: Almost the end, great show, thanks Charlie!
	2:46pm Brian in UK: ↳ Charlie @2:31 Charlie, I would come running to tie your shoes!

	1:04pm CDToaster: Just a quick note to say how good it is to still hear you broadcasting, Charlie. I think we go waaaay back, right? via some Zappa rarities... Thanks for the updates to when you'll be filling-in. You know I love all fmu DJ's, but of course some have an extra special voice that's so nice to listen to, and you've got it. You really have a very nice and relaxed way of speaking. Looking forward to many more years hearing your wonderful, usually very relaxing shows (mta) Tony

	1:11pm Charlie: ↳ People Like Us @12:52 Vicki, is it pronounced like "copy" or like "copious," or is it DJ's choice?
	1:14pm wendy del formaggio: Cindy Lee. ❤️❤️❤️
	1:14pm tom tom the pipers son: 'sorrow' revised
	1:15pm People Like Us: ↳ Charlie @1:11 Your choice! I say copia like copious but copy also stems from the same word so i think both are correct!

	👻 1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Baby Blue" by "Badfinger" Cool, interesting chords that don't call attention to themselves...
