	9:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:01 If by "going well" you mean "they are now over", than yes.

	9:04pm StringOFperils: Hello Mike and all survivors of the holiest of shopping months.
	🥁 9:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Elude the Torch" by "The Drin" makes me think of the clean but that's a pretty general kind of thang
	9:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:04 They're like a musical sponge of influences, sort of the same way Yo La Tengo is. They sound nothing like YLT, but they have a similar ability to tastefully nod in a zillion different directions at once.
	9:06pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Mike and all
	🥁 9:08pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Of How Hits" by "Voice Imitator" Taking side bets with myself what percentage of your faves are among my clicky stars. 1 for 2 so far.
	9:08pm Mike Lupica: Howdy all, and welcome! I'm feeling all kindsa post-holiday punchy tonight.
	9:09pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:08 Damn, I shoulda called tonight's show "Clickway to the Stars"!
	9:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:09 Actually, I just changed the title. Hat tip, Alex!
	🥁 9:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:06 right👍🏻...that's an interesting quality to have...sometimes ylt pulls one out of the hat where its like.... where'd this come from?
	9:10pm StringOFperils: Starway to Heathen
	🥁 9:11pm tom tom the pipers son: "voiced imitator" is the title of a thomas bernhard book
	9:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:10 Hairway to Steven? (Sorry, obligatory Butthole Surfers reference.)
	🥁 9:12pm tom tom the pipers son: voice imitator...no "d"...
	9:13pm StringOFperils: What you will; it's the song/title we all love to F** with, and/or get kicked out of the guitar store for playing it...with.
	🥁 9:14pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:10 Their ability to cover any song?
	9:15pm StringOFperils: Love that image, although I have this sinking feeling it's from somebody's eugenics back-catalogue.
	9:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @9:13 stairway to Heather, about your really tall girlfriend named Heather.
	9:16pm StringOFperils: Oooh, I'm in love already!
	🥁 9:16pm tom tom the pipers son: re: tension building....there's a marcus schmickler, jaki liebezeit release from 2015 where liebezeit plays a pattern for 20 minutes....very intense...
	🥁 9:17pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Hot Creature Chaos" by "Black Slipper" This sounds a lot like one of tom tom's Times poems.
	9:19pm chresti: Hi I haven't shopped yet- I'm waiting till the after minute
	🥁 9:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @9:14 no... to just turn up with a song that is form-wise unexpected from them
	9:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:19 Deals galore after the apocalypse!
	🥁 9:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @9:17 oh... i'll have to go back and listen again
	🥁 9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:16 @mike...

	🥁 9:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:23 from 2015...but maybe released this year
	9:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:24 Don't know it, but will investigate. I love a song that ropes you in but also has you eyeballing the exit.
	🥁 9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: the... the the image...vicki bennett work?
	9:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oy gevalt. Sorry I'm late, Mike. The line to this joint went all the way 'round the block. Once the bouncer saw me, he waved me in, but it took awhile.
	🥁 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:25 timekeepers II on bandcamp
	9:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:26 Might be! I know she did the video for at least one of the songs from this record.
	🥁 9:27pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:25 On that point. When out exploring music, how long do you give a previously unheard track before the exit sign comes on?
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:26 Yeah, but a lot of people thought they were in line for "Laser Zeppelin". Lots of disappointed folks now making their way back to the PATH train.
	🥁 9:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:26 Wendy!
	9:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:27 Good question! How is "No idea" for an answer? It's such an ephemeral thing, I have a hard time assigning metrics to it. It's one of the few things in life that I'm ok trusting my gut on.
	9:29pm StringOFperils: I liked Lemmy's story about how at some gigs Hawkwind locked the doors so no one could get out.
	9:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:28 Oh whoops. It might've been the huge Physical Graffiti patch on the back of my jean jacket that fooled the people behind me.
	9:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:29 STARLITE LOUNGE LOCK IN.
	9:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:28 Alex!
	🥁 9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:29 i often know in first ten seconds whether or not
	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Hey Merle" by "Tampico Bombers" "Merle" is a name that needs to come back. If you know any preggo people, see if you can convince them.
	9:31pm northguineahills: heresies!
	9:31pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:29 Hahaha! I tricked all of you. This IS the Laser Zeppelin gig! Now everybody hold hands and look into the black obelisk thing from the cover of "Presence" that I made out of clay.
	9:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Hey Merle" by "Tampico Bombers" i know the merle this songy speaks of...
	9:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @9:32 I love this song.
	9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:31 YES! See, I knew there was a reason I wore this jacket. And not just because it's chilly out.
	🥁 9:33pm tom tom the pipers son: merle a ladies as well as man's name
	🥁 9:34pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:33 Also a bird species name in french, same in English?
	9:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:26 damn... and i gave him a slice of pizza to keep an eye open for you. ...i should've gone with the bmw.
	🥁 9:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:33 oh i think i was thinking of a meryl i knew...but there was merle oberon
	9:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:34 I appreciate your attempt, Coel. But what bmw? Like, "Break My Windows" cars?
	9:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:28 OH! ...this isn't the warm-up for laser zeppelin?
	🥁 9:37pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Out on a Wire" by "Weak Signal" They almost redid the Hendrix American hymn with that feedback...
	9:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:36 In the 90s, I remember hearing a radio spot on some alt-rock commercial station for a local museum hosting "Laser Bush" and "Laser Collective Soul" nights. What a world.
	🥁 9:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @9:34 lemme check...in english ...common blackbird (turdus merula)...
	9:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:37 Hahaha!
	9:38pm kev: Hi
	9:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ kev @9:38 Not yet, but working on it. (Badum-pum) Welcome, Kev.
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:37 wow. i missed that!
	🥁 9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: turdus merula...? a stage name for the right person?
	9:39pm StringOFperils: that was like metal Wreckless Eric
	🥁 9:40pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:37 Turdus Merula? Really? Sounds like a fecal mushroom's name.
	🥁 9:40pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:37 "Laser Bush" sounds like a clubbing accessory. And if it isnt I'm gonna get rich very soon. (I'll show myself out)
	9:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:39 Wow. I'm going to think about that for the rest of my life.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:35 hey it drives! fast! -as you need it to.
	🥁 9:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @9:40 wiki says....
	🥁 9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:41 family name... turdidae
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Deep in a Mud (feat. Magugu)" by "The Bug" sounded like spaceape, but kevin martin was involved, so not far off...
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @9:40 the laser bush company almost went under in the 70s, but made a big comeback in recent years.
	9:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: I totally don't remember that episode, and I did watch "Little House" almost every day. But I've removed most of the memories from my mind because there is a merciful deity or three out there.
	🥁 9:46pm Yvang: There's this episode of the little house where they go to a Trump rally...
	🥁 9:47pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @9:08 set 1: 5 for 9
	9:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @9:46 That woulda been the one with the drowned kittens.
	🥁 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: RE:flushing '24...."i think we need a bigger toilet"
	9:51pm StringOFperils: Gulf-futurism. Catchier than golf fascism.
	9:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:48 I feel that
	🥁 9:51pm egal: moin = hello auf deutsch.
	9:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:50 Oh god yes.
	🥁 9:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:51 it's a quote.....from....
	🥁 9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: gulf futurism? i cannot for the life of me get my head around that... quite blind... and is actually golf fascism
	9:59pm StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 Fore!
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 It's elaborated upon (slightly) on Sophia Al-Maria's wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:59 Let's get #golffascism trending on... actually, never mind.
	🥁 10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @9:59 five six seven......45,000
	🥁 10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:00 thx
	🥁 10:01pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "No. 61 (For Mark Rothko)" by "Jeremy Gluck & Don ... This category speaks to me.
	10:02pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:01 There were a a lot of contenders, but this one came out on top.
	🥁 10:03pm Roberto: Dammit new time slot fuccck
	🥁 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:00 an uncritical look at oil wealth underpinning your art project.....???
	🥁 10:05pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @10:03 Each week! Hi!
	🥁 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Reign" by "Bob Vylan" musical youth> menudo
	10:06pm northguineahills: W/ grime like this, i get hit like I’m watching top boy, feel me fam?
	10:06pm StringOFperils: Rocking the tower blocks as hope fizzles out. UK hip-hop remains strong.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:06 Hells yes. Love this record. Also love that he's wearing a Crass t-shirt in one of his videos.
	🥁 10:08pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Reign" by "Bob Vylan" I think despite current politic tendencies diversity is what makes British youth culture cooler.
	10:09pm StringOFperils: Yeah, England definitely divided along class lines. Black and white and poor all over.
	10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike, I love your descriptions of the songs. I think the 1996 best song for driving down a deserted highway at 3AM (etc.) is "Changeling" by DJ Shadow. I found out by listening to it in the middle of the night while driving on the Newark-Jersey City Tpke., which doesn't get much more post-apocalyptic than that.
	🥁 10:10pm Roberto: ↳ Yvang @10:05 Yeah it's been a running joke for a while now.
	10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 I advise everyone try it, in fact.
	🥁 10:11pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "God's Country" by "Lambrini Girls" Best band I love to be yelled at by.
	10:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:11 Hahaha! For real! So proud that my teenage daughter is (currently) wearing her Lambrini Girls t-shirt from when we went to see them this summer.
	🥁 10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:08 although many generations removed, the ww2 blitz mentality of banding together may play some part in brit youth culture vitality
	🥁 10:12pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:10 Not even a funny one.
	🥁 10:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 In my North Country days I would find myself driving through snowy weather late at night. With snowflakes coming at me like star trek stars and snow snakes winding on the road I would play PortisHead just to fuck with myself.
	10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 Definitely. Having the snot bombed out of your whole country will have lasting effects like that.
	10:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 The stretch between JC and Newark is indeed quite post-apocalyptic
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:13 That sounds like perfect wintertime mind-fuckery. I love it.
	10:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" Photo not actually from last Wednesday... playlist system retained the caption I posted a couple months ago when I first shared that photo.
	🥁 10:15pm Roberto: Y'all remember Tom Scharpling's Frankie Teardrop challenge?
	10:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:14 Ain't it, though? The yellow lights totally make it. I mean, I love living in Vermont where it's beautiful all the time, but the NJ kid in me loves a good industrial wasteland.
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:15 Oh god, dare I ask you to remind me?
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" I nominate: "I know you are scared, I'll still love you radically" as lyric of the year.
	🥁 10:17pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:16 He dared his listeners to listen to the entirety of Suicide's Frankie Teardrop while alone in the dark.
	10:17pm StringOFperils: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:16 It's always gratifying, late at night on the road, to see that all your misgivings about everything are not misplaced. Warm satisfaction.
	10:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:17 Ha! I do that now with my (copllege age) students with "Krautrock" by Faust.
	10:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:18 *college
	🥁 10:18pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:18 You're a copllege prof?
	10:19pm Mike Lupica: Not a prof. An "advisor" which has all the responsibility and none of the prestige.
	🥁 10:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" Bought this album. Heard it here first. Actually only ever heard it here.
	🥁 10:19pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:19 Noyce.
	10:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:19 This song was stuck in my head more than any other for calendar year 2024.Not a complaint, just an observation.
	🥁 10:21pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" The solo sounds like the riff from Magic by Pilot.
	🥁 10:21pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:21 Or as it's known now, "Oh Oh Oh Ozempic."
	10:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:21 It does! And I love that song!
	🥁 10:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" i was thinking more early eighties mainstream...a little lisa lisa crossed with cindy lauper?
	🥁 10:23pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" This one is more poppy than most of what I've heard from them, and it works!
	🥁 10:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:23 not for everyone...
	🥁 10:24pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:23 OK so it works for 4 out of 5 WFMU listeners who chew gum.
	🥁 10:25pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @9:47 Set 2 : Also 5 for 9 (but one was new today).
	10:25pm StringOFperils: Is this your S ? I found it on the floor
	🥁 10:26pm Roberto: It has been at least 10 years of Sheer Mag. I remember Scott Williams playing them in 2014.
	🥁 10:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:24 ah, chewing gum is what i'm missing....; )
	10:28pm StringOFperils: JCC's in today's Guardian (they love him!). It's boring, but since you brought him up > www.theguardian.com...
	🥁 10:28pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:28 Bean-go
	🥁 10:30pm tom tom the pipers son: maybe call mom on the tele-phone
	10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Don't leave me hanging on the mobile phone. Whoa. Hang up and run to me. Whoa."
	10:30pm northguineahills: keep reaching for the skiis!
	10:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Marabayassa" by "The Rail Band" mali's best! (of the 70s!)
	10:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:28 He's been on (BBC quiz show) "Would I Lie to You" and it's great!
	🥁 10:32pm Roberto: Your phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait for that call.
	10:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Marabayassa" by "The Rail Band" We got this cranked way up here at the Bellows Falls Yacht Club.
	10:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Roberto @10:32 i haven't had my phone ring since 2000 (i had a landline until 2001, but even before then , i turned off the ringer)
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:32 Awright!
	🥁 10:33pm Roberto: Shit, there's the sodie pop opening again.
	🥁 10:33pm Alex from Media: Another Schlitz gets it's wings.
	10:33pm WR: Did I just hear a drink can being opened?
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:33 It's like the "Where's Waldo" feature of every week's show.
	🥁 10:33pm Roberto: ↳ northguineahills @10:32 I've had to turn on the ringer lately in anticipation of a number of important calls. I hate it.
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:33 Hahaha, Delirium Tremens, actually.
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ WR @10:33 This damn mic picks up everything!
	🥁 10:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:32 but you turned on vibrate and stuck it in "your secret place"
	10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: My mobile ringtone is the Odd Couple theme song. My landline (YES, I DO) just rings like a regular cordless telephone.
	10:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Roberto @10:33 if my phone isn't w/in my viewshed, i'm not going to notice it ring...(i've always have hated ringtones, even w/ my analogue phones).
	10:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: That was one hell of a segue, Mike.
	🥁 10:36pm Roberto: ↳ northguineahills @10:35 I've always had phonephobia. Texting has been my salvation.
	10:36pm StringOFperils: The spiral sucker oozes sticky dreck down into the bathwater
	🥁 10:37pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Rich People" by "Carsie Blanton" Not Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch. Interesting.....
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:37 Another great song of her's. She's amazing.
	🥁 10:38pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:36 And in my head, I'd have been swimmin' in chix if I'd had access to texting and messaging in the '80s.
	10:39pm StringOFperils: The Lambrini Girls sounded more like Amy than this song does
	🥁 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:38 you wild and crazy guy...
	10:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:39 I know, right? Twas a fierce double bill at White Eagle Hall this summer.
	10:40pm StringOFperils: This kind of reminds me of VU. 'Ocean' maybe..?
	🥁 10:41pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:40 A wild and crazy guy who was shit at talking to womens!
	🥁 10:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:41 you may have been too occupied chewing gum
	10:43pm Andrew Waterloo: ↳ Song: "Big Dreams" by "Amyl & the Sniffers" This does have a Hole vibe.
	10:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "El Fantasma" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez" I effin' love this album. I've played at least one track off of it, and four more are waiting in my playlist queue.
	🥁 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:43 Actually, I was one of the patients who didn't chew gum.
	🥁 10:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "El Fantasma" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez" very john sayles
	10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:44 They're a band that I have absolutely no read on how popular they are. In my mind, it's pretty obscure / specialist kinda stuff, but I just learned that Amazon has its own special edition vinyl version of it. What do I know... I'm apparently not from this planet.
	🥁 10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:44 was there a patient named patience?
	🥁 10:46pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:46 There must have been at least one. Law of averages and all that.
	🥁 10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:46 if there was... ya should've talked with her
	🥁 10:49pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 Dammit
	🥁 10:49pm Alex from Media: Amazon has this custom vinyl service where they'll cut your selections. Since it's likely from digital I'm not sure if it rates.
	🥁 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:46 perhaps there's a latin bubble going on, although this was different than the cumbia influenced bands that have been playing around the powers that be might lump it all together
	10:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:49 Like I Said.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	10:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Osiris in Pieces" by "Hannah Marcus" I like this quite a bit. Kind of orchestral Exile In Guyville energy, which is a good thing.
	🥁 10:51pm Roberto: Oh, I'm going to use that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	10:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:51 Yes!
	🥁 10:52pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:51 Rats! I thought I could provoke a purist rant out of someone.
	🥁 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Osiris in Pieces" by "Hannah Marcus" yeah hannah marcus...daughter of painter audrey flack who died shortly after being interviewed on currents w/brian d
	10:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Roberto @10:51 (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
	10:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Ipso Facto" by "Kingface" Is this when the laser show begins?
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:46 what planet are you from? and can you do something about this one?
	🥁 10:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:52 flack who lived into her 90's died unexpectedly
	10:54pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @10:53 ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
	10:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:54 Sorry, I'm still at Laser EPMD.
	10:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:54 I wish.
	10:55pm StringOFperils: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:54 I was in a supermarket cash out line yeaterday and there was this rack with Time mag special issues about terra-forming Mars and I started laughing out loud.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:49 it's probably from mp3. last i knew all their music was mp3, or lower, quality.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:52 -so therefore sounds like shit! ...there ya go!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @10:55 at this point no level of idiocy surprises me
	🥁 10:58pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:54 Storytime! (because the childrens love old timey stories) I went to the first laser show in NY in 1974 (at 14y.o.). They used Echoes for one of the tracks. I have not been the same since.
	🥁 10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: work by hannah marcus mother app.cuseum.com...
	🥁 10:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:56 Muchas gracias.
	🥁 11:00pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:59 I'm surprised I'm not familiar with her work, seeing as I'm a former/reformed artist/art student.
	🥁 11:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:55 pretty amazing
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: i went to a laserium show as a class trip (pun only sort of intended) don't feel like details right now...1978? i went to a "laserock" show too. i don't remember which was which, or the details of the other time.
	🥁 11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:00 a photorealist and for some reason photorealism was a real boys club especially
	🥁 11:03pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:59 Nice...and bigger than I thought cdn.thecollector.com...
	🥁 11:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:03 yes, the size surprised me as well...
	🥁 11:03pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:02 Yeah, photorealism was never really my bag, but her work is impressive.
	🥁 11:04pm Yvang: The only laser show I've seen was in Freaks and Geeks.
	11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:58 Holy cow. I would like that to happen in Bellows Falls.
	🥁 11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:03 she talked about the problems of visibility vis a vis the men....maybe it was a boys club because of the "tech" aspect of it...ie. the camera
	🥁 11:06pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @10:25 Set 3: 2 for 9. Overall 12 for 27.
	🥁 11:08pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @11:06 I am clicky starring the few ones I haven't already yet.
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Yvang @11:04 i saw the one at stone mountain, ga (1986)...yes, the one w/ the confederate generals carved in the mountain....
	🥁 11:09pm Yvang: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 Wow
	🥁 11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 toby keith laser show
	11:12pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 it was a revisionist confederate history thingey, but i do believe there was pink floyd in there (i had no idea who pink floyd was in 1986)
	11:12pm StringOFperils: The first Astra Zeneca shot made me puke flames.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: it also tells you when you need more fiber in your diet.
	11:13pm Numero 6: You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.
	11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: "I'll get anything. I love drugs." I laughed out-loud. Yup, I got all my shots. Flu, Heps, TDAP, all the COVIDS, pneumococcal, and because I am "of a certain age," my shingles shots, too. Probably others I can't remember at the moment. I also like drugs.
	🥁 11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:12 that's a memory....
	🥁 11:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @11:08 being a scientist I reduce everything to numbers. Overall I would say my background clicky star rate on this show is more like 10-15%. And this is already enough to make the show worth attending regularly (rants a plus). Yet thus far I'm 44% aligned with Mike's best of. Its either a good or a bad sign for one or the other of us.
	🥁 11:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "I See Red" by "Jim Rafferty" Clannad covered this on their Mgical Ring album.
	11:20pm StringOFperils: Wyndham Hill will turn into a screamo metal label. Mark my words.
	11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I See Red" by "Jim Rafferty" This Rafferty Drag City reissue does make no sense, but it's so damn good. Both sides. Gerry Rafferty was also in Stealers Wheel and Bob Brainen-approved The Humblebums.
	11:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 Wow! I must investigate.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 Wow! -didn't see that coming!
	11:21pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @11:20 if EMI can do minimal techno....
	11:21pm Mike Lupica: Stealer's Wheel confession: I spent more than half of my life thinking the song "Stuck in the Middle" was by Wings.
	🥁 11:21pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I See Red" by "Jim Rafferty" Poor Jim doesn't get any respect online. Any citations mentioning him point to Gerry's Wikipedia page.
	11:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:21 Don't tell Brainen, I owe him money.
	11:22pm StringOFperils: Ha ha ha.
	🥁 11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: the rafferty sound.....
	🥁 11:22pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:20 Humblebums feat. legendary actor and comedian Billy Connolly!
	11:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Ferch Gyda'r Llygaid Du" by "Tristwch Y Fenywod" The best / most important paper plate aware of the night.
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:21 i thought it McCartney also; but i really liked it so soon discovered the truth.
	11:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:22 It's a pretty epic award.
	🥁 11:23pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:23 You mean aware!
	🥁 11:23pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Ferch Gyda'r Llygaid Du" by "Tristwch Y Fenywod" Why are women who paint themselves with sacrificial blood so sexy?
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: that stealer's wheel album is excellent, as are the 2 Gerry Rafferti albums i've heard
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:23 really it depends who's blood it is
	11:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:23 I love Gerry Rafferty. I want "The Ark" played at my funeral.
	🥁 11:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:23 did you hear brainen's special....it was last summer sometime
	11:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @11:23 technically, most religions (even abrahamic ones) had their origins in blood sacrifice, and it was for fertility rituals (in good times)
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: ...i also thought alone again, naturally was McCartney...and, of course, a few badfinger songs.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:25 Beautiful!
	🥁 11:27pm Roberto: I love that "other" Stealer's track that Bob plays from time to time: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 11:27pm Yvang: ↳ northguineahills @11:25 It makes sense and explains what's usually happening with religions.
	🥁 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:25 was "those were the days" written by him or just produced
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 i thin k i heard part of it. always meant to go back for the whole program.
	🥁 11:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:28 The Humblebums he played was worth it.
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:27 Mary Hopkin?
	🥁 11:29pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:27 My bad, no apostrophe in "Stealers."
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: ...i should know this
	🥁 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:27 with the firewall eroding between church and state i wonder who takes care of the blood sacrifice?
	🥁 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:29 yes
	11:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:30 The general population, looks like.

	9:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:24 Don't know it, but will investigate. I love a song that ropes you in but also has you eyeballing the exit.
	🥁 9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: the... the the image...vicki bennett work?
	9:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oy gevalt. Sorry I'm late, Mike. The line to this joint went all the way 'round the block. Once the bouncer saw me, he waved me in, but it took awhile.
	🥁 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:25 timekeepers II on bandcamp
	9:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:26 Might be! I know she did the video for at least one of the songs from this record.
	🥁 9:27pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:25 On that point. When out exploring music, how long do you give a previously unheard track before the exit sign comes on?
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:26 Yeah, but a lot of people thought they were in line for "Laser Zeppelin". Lots of disappointed folks now making their way back to the PATH train.
	🥁 9:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:26 Wendy!
	9:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:27 Good question! How is "No idea" for an answer? It's such an ephemeral thing, I have a hard time assigning metrics to it. It's one of the few things in life that I'm ok trusting my gut on.
	9:29pm StringOFperils: I liked Lemmy's story about how at some gigs Hawkwind locked the doors so no one could get out.
	9:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:28 Oh whoops. It might've been the huge Physical Graffiti patch on the back of my jean jacket that fooled the people behind me.
	9:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:29 STARLITE LOUNGE LOCK IN.

	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Hey Merle" by "Tampico Bombers" "Merle" is a name that needs to come back. If you know any preggo people, see if you can convince them.
	9:31pm northguineahills: heresies!
	9:31pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:29 Hahaha! I tricked all of you. This IS the Laser Zeppelin gig! Now everybody hold hands and look into the black obelisk thing from the cover of "Presence" that I made out of clay.
	9:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Hey Merle" by "Tampico Bombers" i know the merle this songy speaks of...
	9:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @9:32 I love this song.
	9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:31 YES! See, I knew there was a reason I wore this jacket. And not just because it's chilly out.
	🥁 9:33pm tom tom the pipers son: merle a ladies as well as man's name

	🥁 9:37pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Out on a Wire" by "Weak Signal" They almost redid the Hendrix American hymn with that feedback...
	9:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:36 In the 90s, I remember hearing a radio spot on some alt-rock commercial station for a local museum hosting "Laser Bush" and "Laser Collective Soul" nights. What a world.

	9:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:37 wow. i missed that!
	🥁 9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: turdus merula...? a stage name for the right person?
	9:39pm StringOFperils: that was like metal Wreckless Eric
	🥁 9:40pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:37 Turdus Merula? Really? Sounds like a fecal mushroom's name.
	🥁 9:40pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:37 "Laser Bush" sounds like a clubbing accessory. And if it isnt I'm gonna get rich very soon. (I'll show myself out)
	9:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:39 Wow. I'm going to think about that for the rest of my life.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:35 hey it drives! fast! -as you need it to.

	🥁 9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:41 family name... turdidae
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Deep in a Mud (feat. Magugu)" by "The Bug" sounded like spaceape, but kevin martin was involved, so not far off...
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @9:40 the laser bush company almost went under in the 70s, but made a big comeback in recent years.
	9:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: I totally don't remember that episode, and I did watch "Little House" almost every day. But I've removed most of the memories from my mind because there is a merciful deity or three out there.
	🥁 9:46pm Yvang: There's this episode of the little house where they go to a Trump rally...
	🥁 9:47pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @9:08 set 1: 5 for 9

	🥁 9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: gulf futurism? i cannot for the life of me get my head around that... quite blind... and is actually golf fascism
	9:59pm StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 Fore!
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 It's elaborated upon (slightly) on Sophia Al-Maria's wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org...

	🥁 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Reign" by "Bob Vylan" musical youth> menudo
	10:06pm northguineahills: W/ grime like this, i get hit like I’m watching top boy, feel me fam?
	10:06pm StringOFperils: Rocking the tower blocks as hope fizzles out. UK hip-hop remains strong.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:06 Hells yes. Love this record. Also love that he's wearing a Crass t-shirt in one of his videos.
	🥁 10:08pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Reign" by "Bob Vylan" I think despite current politic tendencies diversity is what makes British youth culture cooler.
	10:09pm StringOFperils: Yeah, England definitely divided along class lines. Black and white and poor all over.
	10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike, I love your descriptions of the songs. I think the 1996 best song for driving down a deserted highway at 3AM (etc.) is "Changeling" by DJ Shadow. I found out by listening to it in the middle of the night while driving on the Newark-Jersey City Tpke., which doesn't get much more post-apocalyptic than that.
	🥁 10:10pm Roberto: ↳ Yvang @10:05 Yeah it's been a running joke for a while now.
	10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 I advise everyone try it, in fact.
	🥁 10:11pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "God's Country" by "Lambrini Girls" Best band I love to be yelled at by.
	10:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:11 Hahaha! For real! So proud that my teenage daughter is (currently) wearing her Lambrini Girls t-shirt from when we went to see them this summer.
	🥁 10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:08 although many generations removed, the ww2 blitz mentality of banding together may play some part in brit youth culture vitality
	🥁 10:12pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:10 Not even a funny one.
	🥁 10:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 In my North Country days I would find myself driving through snowy weather late at night. With snowflakes coming at me like star trek stars and snow snakes winding on the road I would play PortisHead just to fuck with myself.
	10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 Definitely. Having the snot bombed out of your whole country will have lasting effects like that.
	10:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 The stretch between JC and Newark is indeed quite post-apocalyptic
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:13 That sounds like perfect wintertime mind-fuckery. I love it.
	10:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" Photo not actually from last Wednesday... playlist system retained the caption I posted a couple months ago when I first shared that photo.
	🥁 10:15pm Roberto: Y'all remember Tom Scharpling's Frankie Teardrop challenge?
	10:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:14 Ain't it, though? The yellow lights totally make it. I mean, I love living in Vermont where it's beautiful all the time, but the NJ kid in me loves a good industrial wasteland.
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:15 Oh god, dare I ask you to remind me?
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Humanity" by "Lava Larue" I nominate: "I know you are scared, I'll still love you radically" as lyric of the year.
	🥁 10:17pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:16 He dared his listeners to listen to the entirety of Suicide's Frankie Teardrop while alone in the dark.
	10:17pm StringOFperils: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:16 It's always gratifying, late at night on the road, to see that all your misgivings about everything are not misplaced. Warm satisfaction.
	10:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:17 Ha! I do that now with my (copllege age) students with "Krautrock" by Faust.
	10:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:18 *college
	🥁 10:18pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:18 You're a copllege prof?
	10:19pm Mike Lupica: Not a prof. An "advisor" which has all the responsibility and none of the prestige.
	🥁 10:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" Bought this album. Heard it here first. Actually only ever heard it here.
	🥁 10:19pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:19 Noyce.
	10:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:19 This song was stuck in my head more than any other for calendar year 2024.Not a complaint, just an observation.
	🥁 10:21pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" The solo sounds like the riff from Magic by Pilot.
	🥁 10:21pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:21 Or as it's known now, "Oh Oh Oh Ozempic."
	10:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:21 It does! And I love that song!
	🥁 10:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" i was thinking more early eighties mainstream...a little lisa lisa crossed with cindy lauper?
	🥁 10:23pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Moonstruck" by "Sheer Mag" This one is more poppy than most of what I've heard from them, and it works!
	🥁 10:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:23 not for everyone...
	🥁 10:24pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:23 OK so it works for 4 out of 5 WFMU listeners who chew gum.
	🥁 10:25pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @9:47 Set 2 : Also 5 for 9 (but one was new today).
	10:25pm StringOFperils: Is this your S ? I found it on the floor
	🥁 10:26pm Roberto: It has been at least 10 years of Sheer Mag. I remember Scott Williams playing them in 2014.
	🥁 10:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:24 ah, chewing gum is what i'm missing....; )
	10:28pm StringOFperils: JCC's in today's Guardian (they love him!). It's boring, but since you brought him up > www.theguardian.com...
	🥁 10:28pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:28 Bean-go
	🥁 10:30pm tom tom the pipers son: maybe call mom on the tele-phone
	10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Don't leave me hanging on the mobile phone. Whoa. Hang up and run to me. Whoa."
	10:30pm northguineahills: keep reaching for the skiis!
	10:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Marabayassa" by "The Rail Band" mali's best! (of the 70s!)
	10:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:28 He's been on (BBC quiz show) "Would I Lie to You" and it's great!
	🥁 10:32pm Roberto: Your phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait for that call.
	10:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Marabayassa" by "The Rail Band" We got this cranked way up here at the Bellows Falls Yacht Club.
	10:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Roberto @10:32 i haven't had my phone ring since 2000 (i had a landline until 2001, but even before then , i turned off the ringer)
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:32 Awright!
	🥁 10:33pm Roberto: Shit, there's the sodie pop opening again.
	🥁 10:33pm Alex from Media: Another Schlitz gets it's wings.
	10:33pm WR: Did I just hear a drink can being opened?
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:33 It's like the "Where's Waldo" feature of every week's show.
	🥁 10:33pm Roberto: ↳ northguineahills @10:32 I've had to turn on the ringer lately in anticipation of a number of important calls. I hate it.
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:33 Hahaha, Delirium Tremens, actually.
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ WR @10:33 This damn mic picks up everything!
	🥁 10:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:32 but you turned on vibrate and stuck it in "your secret place"
	10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: My mobile ringtone is the Odd Couple theme song. My landline (YES, I DO) just rings like a regular cordless telephone.
	10:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Roberto @10:33 if my phone isn't w/in my viewshed, i'm not going to notice it ring...(i've always have hated ringtones, even w/ my analogue phones).
	10:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: That was one hell of a segue, Mike.
	🥁 10:36pm Roberto: ↳ northguineahills @10:35 I've always had phonephobia. Texting has been my salvation.
	10:36pm StringOFperils: The spiral sucker oozes sticky dreck down into the bathwater
	🥁 10:37pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Rich People" by "Carsie Blanton" Not Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch. Interesting.....
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:37 Another great song of her's. She's amazing.
	🥁 10:38pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:36 And in my head, I'd have been swimmin' in chix if I'd had access to texting and messaging in the '80s.
	10:39pm StringOFperils: The Lambrini Girls sounded more like Amy than this song does
	🥁 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:38 you wild and crazy guy...
	10:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:39 I know, right? Twas a fierce double bill at White Eagle Hall this summer.
	10:40pm StringOFperils: This kind of reminds me of VU. 'Ocean' maybe..?
	🥁 10:41pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:40 A wild and crazy guy who was shit at talking to womens!
	🥁 10:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:41 you may have been too occupied chewing gum
	10:43pm Andrew Waterloo: ↳ Song: "Big Dreams" by "Amyl & the Sniffers" This does have a Hole vibe.
	10:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "El Fantasma" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez" I effin' love this album. I've played at least one track off of it, and four more are waiting in my playlist queue.
	🥁 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:43 Actually, I was one of the patients who didn't chew gum.
	🥁 10:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "El Fantasma" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez" very john sayles
	10:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:44 They're a band that I have absolutely no read on how popular they are. In my mind, it's pretty obscure / specialist kinda stuff, but I just learned that Amazon has its own special edition vinyl version of it. What do I know... I'm apparently not from this planet.
	🥁 10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:44 was there a patient named patience?
	🥁 10:46pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:46 There must have been at least one. Law of averages and all that.
	🥁 10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:46 if there was... ya should've talked with her
	🥁 10:49pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:48 Dammit
	🥁 10:49pm Alex from Media: Amazon has this custom vinyl service where they'll cut your selections. Since it's likely from digital I'm not sure if it rates.
	🥁 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:46 perhaps there's a latin bubble going on, although this was different than the cumbia influenced bands that have been playing around the powers that be might lump it all together
	10:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:49 Like I Said.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	10:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Osiris in Pieces" by "Hannah Marcus" I like this quite a bit. Kind of orchestral Exile In Guyville energy, which is a good thing.
	🥁 10:51pm Roberto: Oh, I'm going to use that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	10:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:51 Yes!

	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:52 -so therefore sounds like shit! ...there ya go!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @10:55 at this point no level of idiocy surprises me

	🥁 11:03pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:02 Yeah, photorealism was never really my bag, but her work is impressive.
	🥁 11:04pm Yvang: The only laser show I've seen was in Freaks and Geeks.
	11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:58 Holy cow. I would like that to happen in Bellows Falls.
	🥁 11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:03 she talked about the problems of visibility vis a vis the men....maybe it was a boys club because of the "tech" aspect of it...ie. the camera
	🥁 11:06pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @10:25 Set 3: 2 for 9. Overall 12 for 27.

	11:12pm StringOFperils: The first Astra Zeneca shot made me puke flames.
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: it also tells you when you need more fiber in your diet.
	11:13pm Numero 6: You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.
	11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: "I'll get anything. I love drugs." I laughed out-loud. Yup, I got all my shots. Flu, Heps, TDAP, all the COVIDS, pneumococcal, and because I am "of a certain age," my shingles shots, too. Probably others I can't remember at the moment. I also like drugs.
	🥁 11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:12 that's a memory....
	🥁 11:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @11:08 being a scientist I reduce everything to numbers. Overall I would say my background clicky star rate on this show is more like 10-15%. And this is already enough to make the show worth attending regularly (rants a plus). Yet thus far I'm 44% aligned with Mike's best of. Its either a good or a bad sign for one or the other of us.
	🥁 11:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "I See Red" by "Jim Rafferty" Clannad covered this on their Mgical Ring album.
	11:20pm StringOFperils: Wyndham Hill will turn into a screamo metal label. Mark my words.
	11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I See Red" by "Jim Rafferty" This Rafferty Drag City reissue does make no sense, but it's so damn good. Both sides. Gerry Rafferty was also in Stealers Wheel and Bob Brainen-approved The Humblebums.
	11:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 Wow! I must investigate.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:19 Wow! -didn't see that coming!
	11:21pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @11:20 if EMI can do minimal techno....
	11:21pm Mike Lupica: Stealer's Wheel confession: I spent more than half of my life thinking the song "Stuck in the Middle" was by Wings.
	🥁 11:21pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I See Red" by "Jim Rafferty" Poor Jim doesn't get any respect online. Any citations mentioning him point to Gerry's Wikipedia page.
	11:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:21 Don't tell Brainen, I owe him money.
	11:22pm StringOFperils: Ha ha ha.
	🥁 11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: the rafferty sound.....
	🥁 11:22pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:20 Humblebums feat. legendary actor and comedian Billy Connolly!
	11:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Ferch Gyda'r Llygaid Du" by "Tristwch Y Fenywod" The best / most important paper plate aware of the night.
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:21 i thought it McCartney also; but i really liked it so soon discovered the truth.
	11:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:22 It's a pretty epic award.
	🥁 11:23pm Roberto: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:23 You mean aware!
	🥁 11:23pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Ferch Gyda'r Llygaid Du" by "Tristwch Y Fenywod" Why are women who paint themselves with sacrificial blood so sexy?
	11:23pm coelacanth∅: that stealer's wheel album is excellent, as are the 2 Gerry Rafferti albums i've heard
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:23 really it depends who's blood it is
	11:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:23 I love Gerry Rafferty. I want "The Ark" played at my funeral.
	🥁 11:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:23 did you hear brainen's special....it was last summer sometime
	11:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @11:23 technically, most religions (even abrahamic ones) had their origins in blood sacrifice, and it was for fertility rituals (in good times)
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: ...i also thought alone again, naturally was McCartney...and, of course, a few badfinger songs.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:25 Beautiful!
	🥁 11:27pm Roberto: I love that "other" Stealer's track that Bob plays from time to time: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 11:27pm Yvang: ↳ northguineahills @11:25 It makes sense and explains what's usually happening with religions.
	🥁 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:25 was "those were the days" written by him or just produced
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:25 i thin k i heard part of it. always meant to go back for the whole program.
	🥁 11:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:28 The Humblebums he played was worth it.
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:27 Mary Hopkin?
	🥁 11:29pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:27 My bad, no apostrophe in "Stealers."
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: ...i should know this
	🥁 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:27 with the firewall eroding between church and state i wonder who takes care of the blood sacrifice?
	🥁 11:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:29 yes
	11:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:30 The general population, looks like.

	🥁 11:46pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Images of .44 Casings" by "Dalek" Did any of you catch the Dalek Relaxation Tapes that People Like Us played during her fill-in for Ken last Wednesday?
	11:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:46 Is that the Hipster Be-Bop Junkie single?
	🥁 11:48pm Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:47 Flip side as I recall.
