	3:33pm Jim the Poet: Happy Gusmas to all who celebrate
	3:34pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Jim the Poet @3:33 All hail the Bodenheim
	3:34pm newton: a glass of wind, a little dog, some small pastimes and the radio. Fa la la la la
	3:35pm newton: wine not wind
	3:37pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ newton @3:35 box of rain
	3:38pm newton: ↳ ∫ydniuß @3:37 or a pocketful of rain
	3:38pm Gaston: Saw Jesus Christ Superstar in 1972 with Dana Gillepsie (ex Bowie girlfriend) as Mary Magdalena) and Paul Jabara (co-writer of It's raining men) as Herod. Fab show.
	👻 3:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Vernacular of the Prince of Peace" by "Gus Bo... You must reprise this for Easter, Irwin.
	3:40pm PaulRobeson1924: 🏀🦆
	3:40pm Irwin: ↳ Dan S @3:39 Excellent suggestion. Flagged for rebroadcast.
	👻 3:41pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Vernacular of the Prince of Peace" by "Gus Bo... In the war on Christmas, Gus is the heavy artillery. Practically the nuclear option.
	3:42pm Irwin: ↳ Gaston @3:38 Wasn't Ian Gillan of Deep Purple in one of the early casts?
	3:43pm Irwin: ↳ Dan S @3:41 He "stormed the bitches at Normandy." I think that's what he said.
	3:44pm Gaston: ↳ Irwin @3:42 possibly, I only saw this once, in August of 1972, the year of Ziggy
	👻 3:45pm Dan S: ↳ Irwin @3:43 And he's a man of his word.
	3:45pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Don't Be Cruel" by "Annette Peacock" This was recorded during Annette's Steely Dan period.
	3:47pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Irwin @3:45 please don't kink-shame
	3:48pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @3:45 All it's missing is Michael MacDonald.
	👻 3:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Two Dreadful Children" by "Cruella de Ville" I used to live next door to those two.
	3:54pm berbo: according to wiki: Colin in particular modelled his guitar playing on Brian May of Queen. modeled? or copied exactly?
	3:55pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Irwin @3:45 I read an article yesterday by Damon Krukowski about her “lost albums” of the 80s. I’d never heard of any of them.
	3:57pm roc: Merry and happy one to irwin, king of the radio
	3:58pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @3:55 I was checking out a Classic '90s playlist on Spotify. Never heard of 75% of the bands. I was ALIVE during that decade and listening to a lot of new music. Not enough, I spose.
	4:00pm roc: Lovely hour for a walk right now. Great soundtrack too.
	4:03pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Irwin @3:58 Boy, Ted Gioia’s substack really put a spotlight on the sinister stuff going on on that platform. Makes me wonder if the bands you hadn’t heard of are made up and from Sweden.
	4:05pm Dean: Ian Gillan was the JCS original number one, above whom no pretenders shall soar. (Almost wrote "sore.")
	4:07pm Jim the Poet: Me and Micah are filling-in for 7SD
	4:11pm Irwin: ↳ Jim the Poet @4:07 They didn't record their "Dylan film" ep?
	4:12pm Jim the Poet: I don't know maybe that's for next week?
	4:12pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:03 No, they were all real. Some of the songs were excellent, I just had never heard 'em.
	4:14pm Irwin: ↳ Jim the Poet @4:07 Will correct. Thanks, JtP.
	👻 4:14pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @3:42 Ian Gillan (as Mr. Christ) was on the original 1970 recording that Messrs. Lloyd-Webber and Rice released before the thing had actually been staged anywhere.
	4:17pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:03 I'm ambivalent about Spotify. I can't condemn it as utterly evil. It's great for discovering obscure (real) music and making it easy to do so.
	4:19pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Irwin @4:17 What they’re doing with “fake artists” is pretty disgusting. I kind of use this station plus The Wire for discovery. Sometimes it’s too much!
	4:19pm Dean: The Nazareth census for year 0 shows a Joseph and Mary Christ at 14 Bethlehem Lane. He was an agricultural consultant, she a homemaker. They had no landline.
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:19 I understand. I read Gioia. He's not the only one pointing out the grifters on the platform. But I use it.
	4:22pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Spotify: a blessing and a curse. It's a blurse.
	4:22pm Su: Genya! aka Goldie
	4:24pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Flying" by "Genya Ravan" Great drum break coming up.
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:24 Brian Keenan, former drummer for Chambers Bros.
	4:27pm Dean: I subscribe to Fanfare, a multi-hundred page, narrow-margin bimonthly magazine that reviews new classical recordings. It's my Spotify, old tech, but mostly reliable, and thankfully devoid of playlists, whatever those are.
	4:29pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:27 My ears are open everywhere. Radio, streaming platforms, friends' houses, parties, restaurants, supermarkets. Wherever there's music, I'm tuned in (for better or worse). If I hear something I like and don't know what it is, I hunt for it.
	4:31pm Dean: Well, damn if there isn't a current Chambers Bros.! I echo your sentiments and behaviors, Irwin. I even imagine music where it isn't, for instance when I help my neighborhood coffee shop take its tables and chairs outside before the early morning opening. On occasion, I'm carrying a chair that bangs against the door jamb and I am transported.
	4:32pm Dean: Never mind the local recycling site, where I've dumped huge supplies of empty beer bottles into the bins. Headphones advised, because the volume is around 100db. I shudder and love it.
	4:33pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:31 Brian Keenan was an amazing drummer. Died at 33. But the band played on.
	4:34pm Dean: I won't ask why Keenan died, because it hardly matters. Just sad. Earlier today I was hoping somebody would spin Viagra Boys. Thank you.
	👻 4:34pm βrian: Wow. I adjusted my color profile and I no longer recognize Irwin. Now more pumpkin-ish than ochre-ish.
	4:40pm Dean: The fuck?! He was 42. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Keenan_(musician,_born_1943) Get things straight, Irwin. Jesus died at 33! (Both too young.)
	4:41pm Mailman Tom: Watched A Complete Unknown at a morning matinee today. It's awesome!
	4:42pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Irwin @4:14 Uh oh Full Luigi
	4:42pm ∫ydniuß: does a nostalgic limerick count
	4:43pm PaulRobeson1924: Learn to forget, learn to forget
	4:44pm Listener Robert: Irwin's right. YouTube is full of content for which video or even audio is a waste, where text would get across the info much more efficiently.
	4:45pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:40 I confuse those two all the time.
	4:46pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:40 Further to that, I was thinking Keenan was part of what's known as "The 33 Club."
	4:47pm Dean: Funny how there is (or could be) a club for every year. 27, 92, 8...
	4:47pm galigis: Hi All, just discovered Irwin's show. Newbie here. Enjoyed so far. Keep safe all!
	4:47pm Dean: Disney celebrates only one of them.
	4:47pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Like a Rolling Stone" by "Buddy Greco" This was Buddy's hippie pivot.
	4:48pm kevlicki: Erwin – May 19? That’s C the birthday of Malcolm X and hi chi Minh .
	👻 4:48pm Will thee SG OCNY: like a lump of COAL
	4:49pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Like a Rolling Stone" by "Buddy Greco" You can thank Al Kooper for making this version sing.
	4:49pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:48 I got you bionicle too
	4:54pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:48 and a telefunken U-47
	👻 4:54pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Song: "Like a Rolling Stone" by "Buddy Greco" OK, as long as you don't play the Four Season's cover of Mr Tambourine Man.
	👻 4:55pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:54 very well then, Governaah 🧐
	4:55pm Irwin: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @4:54 Didn't they do entire Dylan album?
	4:55pm Dean: One of the blessings of punk, succinctness.
	4:56pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:55 No guitar, sax, or keyboard break.
	4:56pm Dean: I meant it "ironically," as is the convention lately.
	👻 4:58pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:54 If you look in the rack you will find a massive passive Manley pair and a Pultec parametric pair
	4:58pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:55 Wrong, wrong, wrong. They covered "Don't Think Twice" as The Wonder Who.
	👻 5:03pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Irwin @4:55 I thought so, but discogs shows an album from 1965:half Bacharach, half Dylan.
	👻 5:04pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:55 Almost. A whole album of Bacharach-David and Dylan songs: www.discogs.com...
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:04 Half-right, half-right, half-right. AGAIN.
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:04 Odd juxtaposition, eh?
	👻 5:11pm Will thee SG OCNY: diggin the vibe Irwin!
	5:13pm Irwin: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @5:11 Decidedly un-Xmas, but it's important that we focus importantly on the important things in life.
	5:14pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:58 I do like to leave the spider patrol back there alone 😃
	5:15pm Irwin: I'm commenting more than usual today, filling in for Matt from Springfield.
	5:18pm Spikey BXL: Hello Irwin, chusidals.
	5:20pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:18 pie & pudding?
	👻 5:22pm DjLorraine: Too many to star i must return
	👻 5:24pm rrg: We all should have some Christmas pudding today (I refer to the British sweet). Most of us won't, but I might, because I actually have one here.
	5:24pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ rrg @5:24 exectly! 🥂
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:24 What's in it?
	5:24pm Spikey BXL: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:20 I'm full thank you, had more cheese than a human should have in one sitting,
	5:26pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:24 consent is required as always may thee cheesecuperate
	5:27pm Spikey BXL: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:26 The calvados-finished Camembert kept eyeing me, and the flesh is weak.
	5:30pm jan: ↳ Song: "The Milk Carton" by "Madilyn Mei" Lovely sound.Reminds me of Joanna Newsome
	5:32pm jan: ↳ Irwin @3:18 just checked back in at the comments and read your thanks!
	👻 5:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: In the "Probably TMI Department," I noticed a bunch of mouse droppings in the cabinet beneath the sink. Got that all cleaned up and plugged the holes with some aluminium foil. That fixes short term problems, but need to set some traps in the basement to complete the mission.
	5:36pm Irwin: ↳ jan @5:30 Not sure who she reminds me of, but quite an amazing little musical adventure there in 5 minutes.
	5:36pm Matt_E: Gus themed ashtrays would be an excellent DJ premium
	👻 5:36pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Things for Tots™" by "Gus Bodenheim" Besides being immensely entertaining, Gus provides a moral compass for me. What a guy!
	👻 5:37pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:33 sounds like you could enlist the services of a cat... 🐈 our cat TyTy get some work done around here
	5:37pm Irwin: ↳ Matt_E @5:36 Brilliant thought. Passing along to the folks at Delbarton.
	👻 5:38pm Dan S: ↳ Irwin @5:37 Coasters would be good too.
	👻 5:39pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @5:24 Highly variable depending on the pudding, but this one, Cole's Partridge in a Pear Tree Pudding, has this: INGREDIENTS: Vine Fruits (26%) (Sultanas, Currants, Raisins), Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamine), Vegetable Suet (Palm Oil*, Sunflower Oil, Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamine)), Brown Sugar, Breadcrumbs (Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calciun Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamine), Water, Salt, Yeast), Black Treacle, Golden Syrup, Pear Cider (5%), Water, Candied Pear Pieces (6%) (Pear, Sugar, Glucose Fructose Syrup, Acidity Regulator: Citric Acid), Prune Paste (Prunes, Water, Sugar), Lemon Juice From Concentrate, Orange Juice From Concentrate, Salt, Mixed Spice, Pear Oil.
	5:39pm Dean: I gotcher Christmas pudding right here.
	5:40pm Dean: This Amendola?
	👻 5:40pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	👻 5:40pm rrg: I expect there are gluten-free versions but I haven't gone looking, not having that particular handicap.
	5:40pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:40 Remind me - Scott Amendola plays which instrument?
	5:41pm Dean: The thing with the smashy things.
	5:41pm Irwin: Hunter's a guitarist.
	5:42pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:41 The pummel tubs?
	👻 5:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @5:37 I'm away from the house too much for pets, but if there was a cat library where I could check out a cat for a week, I'd be in business! 😺
	5:42pm Dean: That's Amendola's degree derived from study in SE Asia.
	5:43pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @5:42 The slap canisters?
	5:43pm Dean: Ham-bonisters... Thank you, thank you, thank you. Was musing over JD Souther earlier today.
	5:44pm Roberto: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:42 Maybe cat fostering is right for you.
	5:45pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:43 Always enjoyed this song. Didn't know he wrote it, which I assume he did.
	5:45pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:43 Souther is in the Judee Sill doc quite a bit.
	5:45pm Dean: Souther delivers where that too-American-by-half-named-band lapses.
	👻 5:52pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Ireland" by "Lorkin O'Reilly" I love the downer vibe of this one.
	👻 5:53pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:42 I believe rental cats may draw more blood than one's own
	5:54pm Spikey BXL: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @5:53 That's the name of the company settled: Hurtz
	👻 5:55pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:54 paw, claw, bite was already taken
	👻 5:56pm rrg: The time has flown. Thanks, Irwin, and Season's Greetings to all, especially to those of you I know personally, but even to those of you I don't.

	3:28pm Laura L: ↳ Irwin @3:18 Me too--thanks, Jan, for the splendid e-card.
	3:28pm Irwin: ↳ berbo @3:20 Post a LOT. Please.
	3:29pm PoL in Berlin: ↳ Song: "We Were Poor" by "Prefab Sprout" Such a great song
	3:29pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Song: "We Were Poor" by "Prefab Sprout" Where are ya Paddy?
	3:30pm PoL in Berlin: Happy xmas Irwin and listeners
	3:31pm PoL in Berlin: The 24th is the big xmas day here in Germany
	3:31pm berbo: Our state Capital has a Festivus pole. This has been the highlight of my holiday spirit.
	3:33pm Jim the Poet: Happy Gusmas to all who celebrate
	3:34pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Jim the Poet @3:33 All hail the Bodenheim
	3:34pm newton: a glass of wind, a little dog, some small pastimes and the radio. Fa la la la la
	3:35pm newton: wine not wind
	3:37pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ newton @3:35 box of rain
	3:38pm newton: ↳ ∫ydniuß @3:37 or a pocketful of rain
	3:38pm Gaston: Saw Jesus Christ Superstar in 1972 with Dana Gillepsie (ex Bowie girlfriend) as Mary Magdalena) and Paul Jabara (co-writer of It's raining men) as Herod. Fab show.
	👻 3:39pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Vernacular of the Prince of Peace" by "Gus Bo... You must reprise this for Easter, Irwin.
	3:40pm PaulRobeson1924: 🏀🦆
	3:40pm Irwin: ↳ Dan S @3:39 Excellent suggestion. Flagged for rebroadcast.
	👻 3:41pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Vernacular of the Prince of Peace" by "Gus Bo... In the war on Christmas, Gus is the heavy artillery. Practically the nuclear option.
	3:42pm Irwin: ↳ Gaston @3:38 Wasn't Ian Gillan of Deep Purple in one of the early casts?
	3:43pm Irwin: ↳ Dan S @3:41 He "stormed the bitches at Normandy." I think that's what he said.
	3:44pm Gaston: ↳ Irwin @3:42 possibly, I only saw this once, in August of 1972, the year of Ziggy
	👻 3:45pm Dan S: ↳ Irwin @3:43 And he's a man of his word.
	3:45pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Don't Be Cruel" by "Annette Peacock" This was recorded during Annette's Steely Dan period.
	3:47pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Irwin @3:45 please don't kink-shame
	3:48pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @3:45 All it's missing is Michael MacDonald.
	👻 3:54pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Two Dreadful Children" by "Cruella de Ville" I used to live next door to those two.
	3:54pm berbo: according to wiki: Colin in particular modelled his guitar playing on Brian May of Queen. modeled? or copied exactly?
	3:55pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Irwin @3:45 I read an article yesterday by Damon Krukowski about her “lost albums” of the 80s. I’d never heard of any of them.
	3:57pm roc: Merry and happy one to irwin, king of the radio
	3:58pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @3:55 I was checking out a Classic '90s playlist on Spotify. Never heard of 75% of the bands. I was ALIVE during that decade and listening to a lot of new music. Not enough, I spose.
	4:00pm roc: Lovely hour for a walk right now. Great soundtrack too.
	4:03pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Irwin @3:58 Boy, Ted Gioia’s substack really put a spotlight on the sinister stuff going on on that platform. Makes me wonder if the bands you hadn’t heard of are made up and from Sweden.
	4:05pm Dean: Ian Gillan was the JCS original number one, above whom no pretenders shall soar. (Almost wrote "sore.")
	4:07pm Jim the Poet: Me and Micah are filling-in for 7SD
	4:11pm Irwin: ↳ Jim the Poet @4:07 They didn't record their "Dylan film" ep?
	4:12pm Jim the Poet: I don't know maybe that's for next week?
	4:12pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:03 No, they were all real. Some of the songs were excellent, I just had never heard 'em.
	4:14pm Irwin: ↳ Jim the Poet @4:07 Will correct. Thanks, JtP.
	👻 4:14pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @3:42 Ian Gillan (as Mr. Christ) was on the original 1970 recording that Messrs. Lloyd-Webber and Rice released before the thing had actually been staged anywhere.
	4:17pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:03 I'm ambivalent about Spotify. I can't condemn it as utterly evil. It's great for discovering obscure (real) music and making it easy to do so.
	4:19pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Irwin @4:17 What they’re doing with “fake artists” is pretty disgusting. I kind of use this station plus The Wire for discovery. Sometimes it’s too much!
	4:19pm Dean: The Nazareth census for year 0 shows a Joseph and Mary Christ at 14 Bethlehem Lane. He was an agricultural consultant, she a homemaker. They had no landline.
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:19 I understand. I read Gioia. He's not the only one pointing out the grifters on the platform. But I use it.
	4:22pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Spotify: a blessing and a curse. It's a blurse.
	4:22pm Su: Genya! aka Goldie
	4:24pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Flying" by "Genya Ravan" Great drum break coming up.
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:24 Brian Keenan, former drummer for Chambers Bros.
	4:27pm Dean: I subscribe to Fanfare, a multi-hundred page, narrow-margin bimonthly magazine that reviews new classical recordings. It's my Spotify, old tech, but mostly reliable, and thankfully devoid of playlists, whatever those are.
	4:29pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:27 My ears are open everywhere. Radio, streaming platforms, friends' houses, parties, restaurants, supermarkets. Wherever there's music, I'm tuned in (for better or worse). If I hear something I like and don't know what it is, I hunt for it.
	4:31pm Dean: Well, damn if there isn't a current Chambers Bros.! I echo your sentiments and behaviors, Irwin. I even imagine music where it isn't, for instance when I help my neighborhood coffee shop take its tables and chairs outside before the early morning opening. On occasion, I'm carrying a chair that bangs against the door jamb and I am transported.
	4:32pm Dean: Never mind the local recycling site, where I've dumped huge supplies of empty beer bottles into the bins. Headphones advised, because the volume is around 100db. I shudder and love it.
	4:33pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:31 Brian Keenan was an amazing drummer. Died at 33. But the band played on.
	4:34pm Dean: I won't ask why Keenan died, because it hardly matters. Just sad. Earlier today I was hoping somebody would spin Viagra Boys. Thank you.
	👻 4:34pm βrian: Wow. I adjusted my color profile and I no longer recognize Irwin. Now more pumpkin-ish than ochre-ish.
	4:40pm Dean: The fuck?! He was 42. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Keenan_(musician,_born_1943) Get things straight, Irwin. Jesus died at 33! (Both too young.)
	4:41pm Mailman Tom: Watched A Complete Unknown at a morning matinee today. It's awesome!
	4:42pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Irwin @4:14 Uh oh Full Luigi
	4:42pm ∫ydniuß: does a nostalgic limerick count
	4:43pm PaulRobeson1924: Learn to forget, learn to forget
	4:44pm Listener Robert: Irwin's right. YouTube is full of content for which video or even audio is a waste, where text would get across the info much more efficiently.
	4:45pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:40 I confuse those two all the time.
	4:46pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:40 Further to that, I was thinking Keenan was part of what's known as "The 33 Club."
	4:47pm Dean: Funny how there is (or could be) a club for every year. 27, 92, 8...
	4:47pm galigis: Hi All, just discovered Irwin's show. Newbie here. Enjoyed so far. Keep safe all!
	4:47pm Dean: Disney celebrates only one of them.
	4:47pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Like a Rolling Stone" by "Buddy Greco" This was Buddy's hippie pivot.
	4:48pm kevlicki: Erwin – May 19? That’s C the birthday of Malcolm X and hi chi Minh .
	👻 4:48pm Will thee SG OCNY: like a lump of COAL
	4:49pm Frank Zaatar: ↳ Song: "Like a Rolling Stone" by "Buddy Greco" You can thank Al Kooper for making this version sing.
	4:49pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:48 I got you bionicle too
	4:54pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:48 and a telefunken U-47
	👻 4:54pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Song: "Like a Rolling Stone" by "Buddy Greco" OK, as long as you don't play the Four Season's cover of Mr Tambourine Man.
	👻 4:55pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:54 very well then, Governaah 🧐
	4:55pm Irwin: ↳ Larry in Merrlin @4:54 Didn't they do entire Dylan album?
	4:55pm Dean: One of the blessings of punk, succinctness.
	4:56pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @4:55 No guitar, sax, or keyboard break.
	4:56pm Dean: I meant it "ironically," as is the convention lately.
	👻 4:58pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:54 If you look in the rack you will find a massive passive Manley pair and a Pultec parametric pair
	4:58pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:55 Wrong, wrong, wrong. They covered "Don't Think Twice" as The Wonder Who.
	👻 5:03pm Larry in Merrlin: ↳ Irwin @4:55 I thought so, but discogs shows an album from 1965:half Bacharach, half Dylan.
	👻 5:04pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:55 Almost. A whole album of Bacharach-David and Dylan songs: www.discogs.com...
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:04 Half-right, half-right, half-right. AGAIN.
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:04 Odd juxtaposition, eh?
	👻 5:11pm Will thee SG OCNY: diggin the vibe Irwin!
	5:13pm Irwin: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @5:11 Decidedly un-Xmas, but it's important that we focus importantly on the important things in life.
	5:14pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @4:58 I do like to leave the spider patrol back there alone 😃
	5:15pm Irwin: I'm commenting more than usual today, filling in for Matt from Springfield.
	5:18pm Spikey BXL: Hello Irwin, chusidals.
	5:20pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:18 pie & pudding?
	👻 5:22pm DjLorraine: Too many to star i must return
	👻 5:24pm rrg: We all should have some Christmas pudding today (I refer to the British sweet). Most of us won't, but I might, because I actually have one here.
	5:24pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ rrg @5:24 exectly! 🥂
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:24 What's in it?
	5:24pm Spikey BXL: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:20 I'm full thank you, had more cheese than a human should have in one sitting,
	5:26pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:24 consent is required as always may thee cheesecuperate
	5:27pm Spikey BXL: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:26 The calvados-finished Camembert kept eyeing me, and the flesh is weak.
	5:30pm jan: ↳ Song: "The Milk Carton" by "Madilyn Mei" Lovely sound.Reminds me of Joanna Newsome
	5:32pm jan: ↳ Irwin @3:18 just checked back in at the comments and read your thanks!
	👻 5:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: In the "Probably TMI Department," I noticed a bunch of mouse droppings in the cabinet beneath the sink. Got that all cleaned up and plugged the holes with some aluminium foil. That fixes short term problems, but need to set some traps in the basement to complete the mission.
	5:36pm Irwin: ↳ jan @5:30 Not sure who she reminds me of, but quite an amazing little musical adventure there in 5 minutes.
	5:36pm Matt_E: Gus themed ashtrays would be an excellent DJ premium
	👻 5:36pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Things for Tots™" by "Gus Bodenheim" Besides being immensely entertaining, Gus provides a moral compass for me. What a guy!
	👻 5:37pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:33 sounds like you could enlist the services of a cat... 🐈 our cat TyTy get some work done around here
	5:37pm Irwin: ↳ Matt_E @5:36 Brilliant thought. Passing along to the folks at Delbarton.
	👻 5:38pm Dan S: ↳ Irwin @5:37 Coasters would be good too.
	👻 5:39pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @5:24 Highly variable depending on the pudding, but this one, Cole's Partridge in a Pear Tree Pudding, has this: INGREDIENTS: Vine Fruits (26%) (Sultanas, Currants, Raisins), Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamine), Vegetable Suet (Palm Oil*, Sunflower Oil, Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamine)), Brown Sugar, Breadcrumbs (Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calciun Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamine), Water, Salt, Yeast), Black Treacle, Golden Syrup, Pear Cider (5%), Water, Candied Pear Pieces (6%) (Pear, Sugar, Glucose Fructose Syrup, Acidity Regulator: Citric Acid), Prune Paste (Prunes, Water, Sugar), Lemon Juice From Concentrate, Orange Juice From Concentrate, Salt, Mixed Spice, Pear Oil.

	5:40pm Dean: This Amendola?
	👻 5:40pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	👻 5:40pm rrg: I expect there are gluten-free versions but I haven't gone looking, not having that particular handicap.
	5:40pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:40 Remind me - Scott Amendola plays which instrument?
	5:41pm Dean: The thing with the smashy things.
	5:41pm Irwin: Hunter's a guitarist.
	5:42pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:41 The pummel tubs?
	👻 5:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @5:37 I'm away from the house too much for pets, but if there was a cat library where I could check out a cat for a week, I'd be in business! 😺
	5:42pm Dean: That's Amendola's degree derived from study in SE Asia.
	5:43pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @5:42 The slap canisters?
	5:43pm Dean: Ham-bonisters... Thank you, thank you, thank you. Was musing over JD Souther earlier today.
	5:44pm Roberto: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:42 Maybe cat fostering is right for you.
	5:45pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:43 Always enjoyed this song. Didn't know he wrote it, which I assume he did.
	5:45pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @5:43 Souther is in the Judee Sill doc quite a bit.
	5:45pm Dean: Souther delivers where that too-American-by-half-named-band lapses.
	👻 5:52pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Ireland" by "Lorkin O'Reilly" I love the downer vibe of this one.
	👻 5:53pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:42 I believe rental cats may draw more blood than one's own
