	12:34am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Didn't want to have to do it" by "Cass Elliot" still have never heard a really sad version of that lovin' spoonful song. the lyrics are sad, but the music is light and easygoing (both the original and Mama Cass' version) the singing disconnected.

	12:50am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:49 looks delish!
	12:50am San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:49 Sounds very tasty.
	12:51am tom tom the pipers son: thanks i'm getting the cooking bug
	12:51am coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @12:49 i have it on a tape someone made for me in the 90s. i never knew what the album cover, nor the band, looked like until now.
	12:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:50 it did taste good...
	12:54am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "And So I Know" by "Stone Temple Pilots" well, gert somehow made me fave the stp. dog sand cats living together!
	12:55am wimpy: I’ve never heard this before, and am blown away that I could like a stone temple pilots song
	12:55am San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:51 Great!
	12:56am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Maquiladora" by "Radiohead" sort of missed this release...
	12:57am bengertner: ↳ northguineahills @12:54 its just as shocking to me... but that guitar solo is just so nice. Stone Temple Pilots !!
	12:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Maquiladora" by "Radiohead" one of the 3(?) radiohead releases i don't have. in fact i didn't know this existed
	1:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:55 i've posted this before but i bought microwavable dinners from trader joes for a long time, started cooking with fresh ingredients and i've had a had a weight loss of 15 pounds since november...3 pounds this week.. i haven't been cooking since november but i think it has something to do with weightloss...metabolism change...
	1:03am northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:58 same!
	1:04am San Pedro Girl: Did you mean to lose that weight?
	1:04am devlwan: That bed music always hits me. I remember the exact spot I bought Endtroducing on CD.
	1:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:04 yes... i can lose a lot more
	1:06am San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:05 You might want to pace yourself.
	1:07am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "OneTwoThree" by "Bocardo" I've found many records in the trash, on the curb, etc. one of my best finds was a stack of fania records in the middle of the street in astoria, queens. a little soggy, but the vinyl was in good condition.
	1:07am Listener Jonny in Hahvahd Skwayah: Hi Gert! Loving the show!
	1:08am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "OneTwoThree" by "Bocardo" wait, i have a comp, "welcome to drum & lounge", someone gave me in 2004, but it had a different cover, and it was by various artists..
	1:10am devlwan: I bought Endtroducing at the same HMV where I asked someone working there if they had the hives. There were too many genres, and I could find The Hives. I think thats the only context you can ask someone if they have the hives.
	1:10am San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:06 Cooking for oneself can be satisfying. Still, I prefer having others around to prepare food for. It is hard to cook for 1 and not waste food.
	1:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:06 i haven't deprived myself at all, also cut way back on processed sugar... lotta fruit instead.... in '23 pulled leg muscles, put on a lot of weight from not being too mobile for a long time, aiming to lose that weight at least
	1:12am devlwan: I mean i couldn't find the hives.
	1:13am northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:10 i rarely get to cook, as my housemate cooks so much, there is always leftovers, and i feel i need to eat everything before cooking something myself (and i don't eat much, maybe a medium sized meal 1.5 meal/day)
	1:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:10 oh i haven't wasted anything, any extra ingredients goes into a container for next day
	1:15am devlwan: I can't believe that you've made it this far with this vibe and not played the Smashing Pumpkins.
	1:16am devlwan: I find I can only eat what I cook myself. I don't like eating out or anything premade.
	1:16am coelacanth∅: ↳ devlwan @1:10 unless you're a licensed professional
	1:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "For A While" by "Frank Sinatra" oh this album...did not recognize sinatra...
	1:25am northguineahills: ↳ devlwan @1:12 that's what a dermatologist is for... 😜
	1:30am devlwan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:22 I didn't know that existed until now.
	1:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ devlwan @1:30 learned about it not that long ago... liked that song... forget how rest of album is...
	1:32am devlwan: Is the Neil Young album Greendale based on that Frank album. The covers art is so similar.
	1:34am tom tom the pipers son: don't think so... and concept of greendale uses non professionals...right?
	1:36am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "What's His Name" by "Thee SinSeers" Crispy
	1:37am devlwan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:34 Pegi sings on it. It's a Crazy Horse Album. don't call Pegi non professional.
	1:38am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "Lounge Angst" by "Ulrika Spacek" Oh man. Ben, You introduced me to this group. So dope. Thank you.
	1:39am bengertner: ↳ Eric the Hat @1:38 so glad! They're amazing. and if you ever get the chance to see them live—perhaps one of the tightest bands in concert.
	1:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ devlwan @1:37 i don't know who pegi is and i don't appreciate the scold... thought there were school kids on it or somethiong like that
	1:42am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Near to You" by "Teenage Fanclub & Jad Fair" thought for sure this was half japanese well...
	1:45am devlwan: Maybe it is that album. His discography is too long to look thru. I thought there was another album. Sorry I didn't mean to be aggressive.
	1:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ devlwan @1:45 ok
	1:48am tom tom the pipers son: g'nite all...
	1:48am Eric the Hat: Night tom.
	1:48am rock pigeon: ↳ devlwan @1:16 Me too, and i also stopped using non-stick pans (those with PFAS coating) and vegetable oils, as they are believed to be obesogenic and drive heart disease: https://www.jeffnobbs.com/posts/why-is-vegetable-oil-unhealthy + https://www.zeroacre.com/white-papers/how-vegetable-oil-makes-us-fat I much prefer whole foods, like fresh fruit and raw veggies now... Back to the roots :)
	1:49am Rob Gee - Hanoi: great set!!!! thanks
	1:53am devlwan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 Living with War was the one you were thinking about, not Greendale.
	1:56am devlwan: ↳ rock pigeon @1:48 My insides are coated with Teflon at this point I don't think it matters.
	1:57am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Pt 1 - Blue Sky Re... Flashback time. Oof
	2:08am San Pedro Girl: Thanks, Ben. Goodnight everyone.
	2:16am Onion: Hey Ben! I've never heard you before. Happy to catch the last hour!
	2:38am coelacanth∅: ↳ San Pedro Girl @2:08 g'night San Pedro Girl
	2:49am Eric the Hat: Ben! Thank you again for the rad program. Always a swell time spent with you.
	2:51am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "Telephone" by "Andy Shauf" Sweet
	2:55am bengertner: Thanks so much everyone for listening ! As always, it meant the world ...
	2:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Ben!

	12:57am bengertner: ↳ northguineahills @12:54 its just as shocking to me... but that guitar solo is just so nice. Stone Temple Pilots !!
	12:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Maquiladora" by "Radiohead" one of the 3(?) radiohead releases i don't have. in fact i didn't know this existed
	1:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @12:55 i've posted this before but i bought microwavable dinners from trader joes for a long time, started cooking with fresh ingredients and i've had a had a weight loss of 15 pounds since november...3 pounds this week.. i haven't been cooking since november but i think it has something to do with weightloss...metabolism change...
	1:03am northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:58 same!
	1:04am San Pedro Girl: Did you mean to lose that weight?
	1:04am devlwan: That bed music always hits me. I remember the exact spot I bought Endtroducing on CD.
	1:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:04 yes... i can lose a lot more
	1:06am San Pedro Girl: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:05 You might want to pace yourself.
	1:07am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "OneTwoThree" by "Bocardo" I've found many records in the trash, on the curb, etc. one of my best finds was a stack of fania records in the middle of the street in astoria, queens. a little soggy, but the vinyl was in good condition.
	1:07am Listener Jonny in Hahvahd Skwayah: Hi Gert! Loving the show!
	1:08am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "OneTwoThree" by "Bocardo" wait, i have a comp, "welcome to drum & lounge", someone gave me in 2004, but it had a different cover, and it was by various artists..
	1:10am devlwan: I bought Endtroducing at the same HMV where I asked someone working there if they had the hives. There were too many genres, and I could find The Hives. I think thats the only context you can ask someone if they have the hives.
	1:10am San Pedro Girl: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:06 Cooking for oneself can be satisfying. Still, I prefer having others around to prepare food for. It is hard to cook for 1 and not waste food.
	1:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:06 i haven't deprived myself at all, also cut way back on processed sugar... lotta fruit instead.... in '23 pulled leg muscles, put on a lot of weight from not being too mobile for a long time, aiming to lose that weight at least
	1:12am devlwan: I mean i couldn't find the hives.
	1:13am northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:10 i rarely get to cook, as my housemate cooks so much, there is always leftovers, and i feel i need to eat everything before cooking something myself (and i don't eat much, maybe a medium sized meal 1.5 meal/day)
	1:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ San Pedro Girl @1:10 oh i haven't wasted anything, any extra ingredients goes into a container for next day
	1:15am devlwan: I can't believe that you've made it this far with this vibe and not played the Smashing Pumpkins.
	1:16am devlwan: I find I can only eat what I cook myself. I don't like eating out or anything premade.
	1:16am coelacanth∅: ↳ devlwan @1:10 unless you're a licensed professional
	1:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "For A While" by "Frank Sinatra" oh this album...did not recognize sinatra...
	1:25am northguineahills: ↳ devlwan @1:12 that's what a dermatologist is for... 😜
	1:30am devlwan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:22 I didn't know that existed until now.
	1:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ devlwan @1:30 learned about it not that long ago... liked that song... forget how rest of album is...
	1:32am devlwan: Is the Neil Young album Greendale based on that Frank album. The covers art is so similar.
	1:34am tom tom the pipers son: don't think so... and concept of greendale uses non professionals...right?
	1:36am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "What's His Name" by "Thee SinSeers" Crispy
	1:37am devlwan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:34 Pegi sings on it. It's a Crazy Horse Album. don't call Pegi non professional.
	1:38am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "Lounge Angst" by "Ulrika Spacek" Oh man. Ben, You introduced me to this group. So dope. Thank you.
	1:39am bengertner: ↳ Eric the Hat @1:38 so glad! They're amazing. and if you ever get the chance to see them live—perhaps one of the tightest bands in concert.
	1:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ devlwan @1:37 i don't know who pegi is and i don't appreciate the scold... thought there were school kids on it or somethiong like that
	1:42am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Near to You" by "Teenage Fanclub & Jad Fair" thought for sure this was half japanese well...
	1:45am devlwan: Maybe it is that album. His discography is too long to look thru. I thought there was another album. Sorry I didn't mean to be aggressive.
	1:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ devlwan @1:45 ok
	1:48am tom tom the pipers son: g'nite all...
	1:48am Eric the Hat: Night tom.
	1:48am rock pigeon: ↳ devlwan @1:16 Me too, and i also stopped using non-stick pans (those with PFAS coating) and vegetable oils, as they are believed to be obesogenic and drive heart disease: https://www.jeffnobbs.com/posts/why-is-vegetable-oil-unhealthy + https://www.zeroacre.com/white-papers/how-vegetable-oil-makes-us-fat I much prefer whole foods, like fresh fruit and raw veggies now... Back to the roots :)
	1:49am Rob Gee - Hanoi: great set!!!! thanks
	1:53am devlwan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 Living with War was the one you were thinking about, not Greendale.
	1:56am devlwan: ↳ rock pigeon @1:48 My insides are coated with Teflon at this point I don't think it matters.
	1:57am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Pt 1 - Blue Sky Re... Flashback time. Oof
	2:08am San Pedro Girl: Thanks, Ben. Goodnight everyone.
