	🥁 12:11pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:02 Hey Andrew
	12:11pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Kevin-san @12:07 When I was a kid, there used to be a storefront in my hometown with a lava lamp in it. I would bicycle over and sit watching it for the longest time (and way before I discovered mind-altering substances). Very soothing to watch.
	12:13pm Dean: My hometown, Whittier, had a cool head shop in the early '70s, Hair Boutique, right across the street from my junior high (alma mater of Richard Nixon). Lava lamps, black lights, florescent posters, paraphernalia...cool place.
	12:14pm doctorjazz: Hello Irene, Monday Stream Gang! Welcome back!
	🥁 12:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	12:15pm Dean: Even before Hair Boutique, I had one of these: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f1/3a/e9/f13ae9dc607f7c0855cddb720b7c904f.jpg I remember sleepovers, spinning Steppenwolf while the lamp spun.
	🥁 12:16pm βrian: ↳ Dean @12:13 Where cooler heads prevailed?
	🥁 12:17pm Sean in Bristol UK: Greeting smit, Kevin-San, cris in the redwoods, David in our capital, doc, S, M &S, James, webhamster, Dean, headcleaner
	12:18pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @12:13 There was a time when those type of shops seemed to be everywhere. I'm thinking Spencer Gifts in malls too...
	12:18pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:14 Hiya, doc!
	🥁 12:18pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:17 hi there, Sean!
	🥁 12:18pm David (in London): The Prisoner and his lava lamp fun: uk.pinterest.com...
	12:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:18 Hey Andrew!
	🥁 12:19pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:18 How’s are rushing friend doing? Hopefully Buddy is sitting relaxed!
	12:20pm Dean: Spencer Gifts was obviously the franchise version (I assume) of more "genuine" head shops like Hair.
	🥁 12:21pm smit: ↳ Song: "Dasht" by "Rahim AlHaj Trio" Digging this!
	12:21pm Irene Trudel: Salutations S&M&S, doctorjazz and βrian!
	🥁 12:21pm chris in the redwoods: at a college friend's house, in dark a bedroom, watching a lava lamp do its thing, i once followed one of the bubbles up through the top of the lamp, through the ceiling, up into the night sky and into outer space. it was amazing, but a bit scary. yeah, lsd on board in reasonable quantity.
	🥁 12:22pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:19 yes, indeed in good health. out shoe shopping at the moment, i expect. :)
	12:25pm Dean: I remember buying a Draft Beer, Not Students poster at Hair. This was during Vietnam. Frankly, I hardly knew what the message was all about, but I dug the pun.
	🥁 12:25pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:17 Hi, Sean!
	🥁 12:27pm Sean in Bristol UK: Splendid, splendid set whilst I cook a rather tasty Shepherds Pie!
	12:28pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Ninkoy" by "Ballaké Sissoko and Derek Gripper" Ooh! What a beautiful record - I've been listening to it lately!
	12:29pm Stork: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:27 Brother Sean! Post a Shepherds Pie to us!!
	🥁 12:30pm smit: ↳ Song: "Ninkoy" by "Ballaké Sissoko and Derek Gripper" Digging this, as well!
	🥁 12:30pm Michael 98145: Hellos, Everyone. It's supposed to sound like that.
	12:33pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @12:18 Number 6 was a Hippie!
	12:34pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Stork @12:28 Hiya Stork! We just did a nice in-studio with Drerek Gripper a couple of weeks ago for Soundcheck. He's touring the US Southwest this week. Such an amazing guitarist, incorporating the sounds of the kora into his playing.
	12:35pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:30 Hellos to you, Michael!
	12:36pm Katharsis: hellos
	🥁 12:36pm Michael 98145: We had a nice world tour last week!
	🥁 12:37pm Mxter Baba: drifting along with you all today, it is sounding quite lovely from my western perch
	🥁 12:37pm David (in London): ↳ Stork @12:33 "I am not a hippie, I am a free man!"
	12:39pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @12:37 But of course, Number 6. Everyone in the Village is an individual.
	🥁 12:40pm Dan S: Welcome back, Irene. I'm a bit preoccupied but I have been listening, though I'll need to head out shortly after 1 PM. Anyway, thanks for the music!
	12:46pm doctorjazz: Reminder: Yasmin Williams coming up this Saturday (may get to it, happens to be my sister's birthday so depends on if anything is up that day). www.bandsintown.com...
	12:47pm Irene Trudel: Happy to have you drifting with us, katharsis, Mxter Baba and Dan S!
	12:56pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @12:46 Ooh, I may not get around to playing something by Yasmin this week. Hope it's a great show!
	12:56pm tom tom the pipers son: hello irene and folks...nice sounds as per the usual....not that i'm taking it for granted... or anything "nice" in these times
	1:00pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:56 tom tom, we need to provide the "nice" to counteract the not-so-nice around us lately.
	1:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Pretty Polly" by "Darol Anger (w/Mary Chapin Carp... This is cool!
	1:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Pretty Polly" by "Darol Anger (w/Mary Chapin Carp... A Google search turned up that this CD was released as an HDCD, an attempt to get better sound from regular CD technology (don't think they're made any more).
	1:03pm Peter K.: This "Pretty Polly" is remarkable.
	🥁 1:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Hey Irene, all. Listening and working out here....
	🥁 1:05pm smit: ↳ Peter K. @1:03 Indeed, Peter...really beautiful tune!
	1:06pm Dean: Have you seen the new plinth on offer from Linn, doctorjazz?
	1:06pm Dean: I want it, but...gulp. https://www.linn.co.uk/us/turntables/components/decks/bedrok
	1:08pm Katharsis: i was thinking too, an exceptional take on pretty polly. mmm much needed drifting. my wires feeling frayed
	1:10pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @1:06 Ouch! $11,000+ is a tad too much for my purse.
	1:10pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @1:02 i remember when they had those out...briefly...
	🥁 1:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ Dean @1:06 Beautiful. But, Holy Crap 💲
	🥁 1:14pm βrian: "Engineered wood?" Nah.
	🥁 1:14pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @1:02 "In 2000, the technology was purchased by Microsoft, and the following year, there were over 5,000 HDCD titles available. Microsoft's HDCD official website was discontinued in 2005; by 2008, the number of available titles had declined to around 4,000."
	1:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nocturne for 2020" by "Jenny Scheinman" Saw Scheinman at the Winter Jazz Fest (at The City Winery), did a great set!
	1:15pm Dean: That is in fact my turntable, sans new plinth. I have to say that Linn's upgrades deliver.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:15 Another victem of Linn Envy/Obsessing here...
	1:17pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:14 I love Jenny's new album. Nice that you got to see her. Couldn't go to the WJF this year unfortunately.
	1:35pm Dean: Yesterday, I played this two LP set: https://www.discogs.com/release/2857198-Ramnad-Krishnan-Vidwan-Songs-Of-The-Carnatic-Tradition Acquired it used last weekend at Groove Yard. Musically, it is glorious; sonically, spectacular.
	1:40pm Jeff Moore: ↳ doctorjazz @1:16 I have the utmost respect for Linn's turntables, and have for lo these many decades... but I avoided the temptation to experience each of their revelatory upgrade generations by buying a VPI instead of a Linn ages ago and sidestepping the bright spotlight of Linn update curiosity/envy. I tracked a few VPI updates years ago, then just ignored it all and listened to music. I have to admit that part of my ability to leave the turntable setup as-is for years at a time stems from having decided that digital had finally gotten actually good and musical (as long as one applies the same unhinged attention to tweaky optimization to it which one would have been applying to the LP deck).
	1:40pm spodiodi: Greetings, Irene and rich people and everyone else too
	1:43pm Dean: One of my favorite listening experiences was with a VPI. I was in San Diego decades ago, visiting a stereo store equipped with the flagship VPI spinning an early pressing of Kind of Blue. Never heard it better. For a time, I ran Linn's CD player, the Karik (transport)/Numerik (DAC), to my ears the finest player at the time. Still have it, but the laser is shot.
	1:43pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Masters of War" by "Bob Dylan" Bob is the last of The Band.
	1:44pm still b/p: ↳ Dean @1:06 Sitting in my front hall is a Pioneer PL300 turntable which has a significant drag-lag-warp once every several seconds. Anyone can have this li'l beauty for just $25 American dollars and a lava lamp to be named later. It's not stowed/buried because I brought it last week to a local vintage components place that bought a receiver from me a few years ago. "Maybe. Oh...direct drive? And motor trouble? Don't want it. Sorry." A guy on craigslist has a "vintage stereo wanted" posting, and he was going to buy it along the two non-working 70s cassette decks and 90s Kenwood speakers. Then HE bailed because of motor fears. Bruised by tease and disappointment. If I was an ebay seller, I'd post just the dustcover. An object of desire for some. It's not a turntable from my own younger history -- no special attachment. But still loathe to heave it dumpward. Can make some weird thing or things from it. Lordy, lordy, look who's hoardy.
	1:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:40 I agree, there's a certain obsessiveness with constant updates (and, something that sounded great after your last upgrade didn't suddenly sound awful because a new, latest, greatest upgrade is available). But, suffering from Audiophilia Nervosa, I'm never completely able to avoid those feelings. VPI doesn't quite trumpet their upgrades like Linn dose, but they do release them as well. (my system was a killer system in 1990-1995, thinking of amp/preamp/speaker/turntable, DAC upgrades, but it's quite expensive).
	1:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ still b/p @1:44 There's a Brooklyn dealer, StereoBuyers, that buys used stuff, might be worth checking out...
	1:47pm Dean: Constant updates are Linn's business model. That was clear to me from the get-go. Once you have a Linn object, you'll have endless opportunities to upgrade it. I still don't have the top-of-the-line power supply for the 'table, but I bet it actually improves the sound. I feel your pain, still b/p. There used to be a fun stereo store in town, Berkeley Stereo, that peddled vintage objects.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Did anyone see the Dylan Movie? (I really liked it, even though I could hardly understand anything "Dylan" said in the whole movie...)
	1:50pm Irene Trudel: Hi Jeff, spodiodi and and still b/p! I have a fairly solid Stanton DJ turntable currently. Despite my pretty decent ears, I don't have expensive playback tastes. Just happy to have a useable TT.
	1:51pm still b/p: ↳ doctorjazz @1:46 Thanks. But shipping likely = 8 to 20 times the value of the odds and ends on my Island of Red-Shirted, Elder and Ailing Audio Toys.
	1:52pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:47 We saw it last week and really liked it. Timothee did a pretty good job interpreting Dylan.
	1:53pm Dean: I'll never forget a series of reviews by Harry Pearson of Absolute Sound, '80s or '90s, of two Lyra cartridges. The first one determined that Lyra's then flagship was leaps and bounds beyond any cartridge heard before, a true breakthrough in analog fidelity. Fast forward a few issues and Pearson reviews the new Lyra flagship. He queries how anybody can even bear to listen to the former cartridge. I do a lot of listening via a crappy Apple laptop, and I don't think there is such a thing as "expensive playback tastes." I believe anybody can hear important differences with gear. It's not wine tasting, though the Pearsons of the world want us to believe it is.
	1:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ still b/p @1:51 I wasn't sure if you're in the NY area or not (that shop is in Brooklyn-they also sell new stuff, speakers I've been eyeing, the Devore O93. Oh well...
	1:59pm still b/p: Bouncing around to forums on vintage audio, people were arguing about certain gear claims. Some say better cables/connectors and other discriminatingly purchased features are bullshit for any noticeable diffference, that some things become hot topics and people think they have to have them, fearful of being not aware or discriminating enough. Somebody went /s in the discussion, with a reminder about not letting your cables have too many bends in them because electrons get backed up. Someone else took it seriously enough to challenge.
	1:59pm doctorjazz: I liked the musical performances in the Dylan movie, really got the feel of that music (and dug when Al Kooper came in, they didn't need him on guitar, and he sat down at the organ).
	2:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ still b/p @1:59 There's snake oil out there for sure, but there really is gear that's better sounding than other gear. It's not alway the big bucks that gets it, though, matching gear so it's compatible can get better sound than expensive stuff not matched well.
	🥁 2:02pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Morning Sun" by "Marianne Faithfull" RIP, MF :(
	🥁 2:02pm Michael 98145: RIP, Beautiful Marianne
	2:03pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @1:53 I agree, Dean. You can go all crazy trying for the perfect experience and lose touch with the joy of just hearing the music.
	2:05pm Dean: Curiously, my current audio gear dealer is a huge advocate for good (and expensive) cable. He was also Steve Jobs' audio dealer for a time, which makes me wonder. I can't imagine Jobs appreciating anything beyond a close-and-play, but that's my bias. But then my dealer is very down to earth, too. He loves spinning beat-up old rock 'n' roll LPs, and he has YouTube videos running in his store on the home theater rigs. They are captivating.
	2:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "As Tears Go By" by "Marianne Faithfull" That's the 1st hit she had, if memory serves me...
	2:06pm doctorjazz: Too Many RIPs these days, y'know?
	🥁 2:06pm Michael 98145: Speaking of listening and watching, i tried a few times to watch part of the Grammys. Could, Not.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:06 I do my best to avoid them. (which I also can. not. completely pull off.)
	🥁 2:07pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" Wow, been a minute since I've heard this one...love it. Back to work...
	2:08pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Song: "As Tears Go By" by "Marianne Faithfull" The You Tube video for "As Tears Go By" is just a stark close-up of mostly her eyes, and a floor curl-up: youtu.be...
	🥁 2:10pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:06 Auto-tune burlesque brings me no joy.
	🥁 2:10pm TonyR: We thought MF sounded old in 1979. She's younger than that now.
	2:10pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @2:07 I loved the Broken English album when it came out. What a stark, honest portrait of Marianne after so many yers off the scene!
	🥁 2:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:10 Mine is autographed
	2:13pm still b/p: Saw a portion of Grammys, some nice energy and capable performances, but, yes, was the typical orgy of production whizzbammery and stage attitudes, and the whole show and biz, from a few angles, just be wwwwweird.
	🥁 2:13pm chris in the redwoods: out for a walk before rain returns. thanks for the lovely tunes, Irene. happy trails, all!
	🥁 2:13pm Michael 98145: ↳ chris in the redwoods @2:13 cheers!
	2:14pm Irene Trudel: ↳ chris in the redwoods @2:13 Enjoy the walk, chris!
	🥁 2:14pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Unzucht (Lust)" by "Marianne Faithfull" Used to have a record-store promo balloon for this album, matching the sleeve coloring. Who hears "The Seven Deadly Sins" and thinks "Balloons!"??
	2:14pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:11 Very cool!
	2:16pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:10 So true. She returned with a beautifully world-worn voice.
	2:17pm still b/p: This makes me think I'd like to have heard a trio harmony number of Marianne in this period with Glynis Johns and Carol Channing.
	2:21pm northguineahills: ↳ still b/p @2:17 i can hear that
	🥁 2:23pm TonyR: I need to give "Horses..." album another listen. Didn't like it when it came out.
	2:25pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:23 Same here. A bit of a mixed bag.
	2:26pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Unzucht (Lust)" by "Marianne Faithfull" Marianne Faithfull is someone I was aware existed but somehow never happened to develop an enthusiasm for / interest in – which I assume had more to do with historical accidents of what I happened to encounter over the years combined with the quirks of my own ear than anything intrinsic to her music. But I think it would have caught my ear if I'd stumbled across her doing Brecht/Weill back in the day.
	🥁 2:28pm TonyR: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:26 "Back in the Day??" Why, I oughta... Oh wait. Saw her do it at BAM in 1995. 30 years??
	2:29pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:28 Yeas, it really was that long ago. An eye-blink...
	🥁 2:30pm βrian: ↳ TonyR @2:28 1995 was twenty minutes ago.
	🥁 2:30pm TonyR: ↳ βrian @2:30 There ya go.
	2:30pm northguineahills: ↳ βrian @2:30 february has been a long decade...
	🥁 2:33pm Brian in UK: Hello Irene & music listeners.
	🥁 2:33pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Children of Stone" by "Marianne Faithfull" I think this one has Rufus Wainwright on it.
	2:36pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:33 Good Ear, Tony!
	🥁 2:37pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Don't Forget Me" by "Marianne Faithfull" ⭐⭐
	🥁 2:38pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Don't Forget Me" by "Marianne Faithfull" Harry Nilsson tune. MF always prefaced it live with a great Nilsson story.
	2:39pm BenZ WPB: Great song. That’s something when she says she’ll miss the alimony!
	2:41pm technicalflaw: ↳ Song: "Don't Forget Me" by "Marianne Faithfull" Hi Irene, tuning in from my hospital bed, and loving the show. Recently re-listened to Marianne’s “Rich Kid Blues” covers album. Forgot just how great it is.
	2:43pm northguineahills: ↳ technicalflaw @2:41 hope you feel better soon! pixie dust yer way!
	🥁 2:43pm TonyR: Thanks for the McGasko tip.
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Garth Hudson, was very sad to hear it
	🥁 2:44pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:37 written 1974
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Got to see The Band a number of times back in the day...
	🥁 2:44pm βrian: The Gulf of Mexico, you say?
	2:46pm Irene Trudel: ↳ northguineahills @2:30 I have no sense of time any more, n.g.h.
	🥁 2:46pm βrian: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:46 Every night is a long night of white chickens.
	🥁 2:47pm Brian in UK: Just been playing the reissue of Stage Fright plus a live CD. I was at the concert, they knocked me out. You really appreciate Garth's work playing live. He gives each song textures that make it sublime. Garth playing the Royal Albert Hall organ was the best, Chest Fever ofcourse.
	2:47pm Irene Trudel: ↳ technicalflaw @2:41 Oh, no! Hope it's nothing serious, technicalflaw, and that you're feeling better soon.
	2:47pm BenZ WPB: Never got to see the Band live. I did see Rick Danko at the Lone Star Cafe in Manhattan. That was a great place
	🥁 2:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ technicalflaw @2:41 Hope you can get some sleep.
	🥁 2:51pm TonyR: Gotta run. TYSM for the Marianne today, IT.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Words and Numbers (song sketch)" by "The Band" One I haven't heard on any tribute yet, cool!
	2:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:47 I post this like a broken record, but I saw The Band in NYC, Academy of Music, New Year's Eve 1991, horn section, Dylan came out and played encores. Great night!
	2:53pm spodiodi: Thank you, Irene! Your shows are always such a pleasure.
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks Irene, great show!
	🥁 2:54pm bradford: Thanks, Irene!
	2:54pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Brian in UK @2:47 Lucky you!
	2:54pm northguineahills: thanks, Irene, it's been fun!
	🥁 2:55pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @2:53 Have to say that I loathe the Last Waltz. It struck me that they ended up as a backing band for themselves. Well filmed etc but otherwise....
	2:55pm technicalflaw: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:47 Thanks for your concern,Irene & Brian. Yes I’m OK apparently, just recovering from surgery overnight. Music (and WFMU) make it much more tolerable.
	2:56pm Irene Trudel: Thanks everyone for drifting along with me today! I'll return next Monday. Do stay tuned for Wendy del Formaggio and Wreck Your Own Adventure, up next.wfmu.org...
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:55 I dug that movie when it came out (didn't get to that concert, though).
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:55 And the Staple Singers, man...
	🥁 2:58pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @2:56 It was the idea of the whole project that I found unnecessary. Yes, there were good performances.
	🥁 2:59pm Michael 98145: Wonderful. Thank you.
	2:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:58 It was self indulgent, granted...
	🥁 2:59pm smit: Thanks, Irene!
	🥁 3:00pm Michael 98145: ↳ technicalflaw @2:55 Yikes. Best wishes.

	🥁 12:11pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:02 Hey Andrew
	12:11pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Kevin-san @12:07 When I was a kid, there used to be a storefront in my hometown with a lava lamp in it. I would bicycle over and sit watching it for the longest time (and way before I discovered mind-altering substances). Very soothing to watch.
	12:13pm Dean: My hometown, Whittier, had a cool head shop in the early '70s, Hair Boutique, right across the street from my junior high (alma mater of Richard Nixon). Lava lamps, black lights, florescent posters, paraphernalia...cool place.
	12:14pm doctorjazz: Hello Irene, Monday Stream Gang! Welcome back!
	🥁 12:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	12:15pm Dean: Even before Hair Boutique, I had one of these: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f1/3a/e9/f13ae9dc607f7c0855cddb720b7c904f.jpg I remember sleepovers, spinning Steppenwolf while the lamp spun.
	🥁 12:16pm βrian: ↳ Dean @12:13 Where cooler heads prevailed?
	🥁 12:17pm Sean in Bristol UK: Greeting smit, Kevin-San, cris in the redwoods, David in our capital, doc, S, M &S, James, webhamster, Dean, headcleaner
	12:18pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @12:13 There was a time when those type of shops seemed to be everywhere. I'm thinking Spencer Gifts in malls too...
	12:18pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:14 Hiya, doc!
	🥁 12:18pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:17 hi there, Sean!
	🥁 12:18pm David (in London): The Prisoner and his lava lamp fun: uk.pinterest.com...
	12:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:18 Hey Andrew!
	🥁 12:19pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:18 How’s are rushing friend doing? Hopefully Buddy is sitting relaxed!
	12:20pm Dean: Spencer Gifts was obviously the franchise version (I assume) of more "genuine" head shops like Hair.
	🥁 12:21pm smit: ↳ Song: "Dasht" by "Rahim AlHaj Trio" Digging this!
	12:21pm Irene Trudel: Salutations S&M&S, doctorjazz and βrian!
	🥁 12:21pm chris in the redwoods: at a college friend's house, in dark a bedroom, watching a lava lamp do its thing, i once followed one of the bubbles up through the top of the lamp, through the ceiling, up into the night sky and into outer space. it was amazing, but a bit scary. yeah, lsd on board in reasonable quantity.
	🥁 12:22pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:19 yes, indeed in good health. out shoe shopping at the moment, i expect. :)
	12:25pm Dean: I remember buying a Draft Beer, Not Students poster at Hair. This was during Vietnam. Frankly, I hardly knew what the message was all about, but I dug the pun.
	🥁 12:25pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:17 Hi, Sean!
	🥁 12:27pm Sean in Bristol UK: Splendid, splendid set whilst I cook a rather tasty Shepherds Pie!
	12:28pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Ninkoy" by "Ballaké Sissoko and Derek Gripper" Ooh! What a beautiful record - I've been listening to it lately!
	12:29pm Stork: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:27 Brother Sean! Post a Shepherds Pie to us!!
	🥁 12:30pm smit: ↳ Song: "Ninkoy" by "Ballaké Sissoko and Derek Gripper" Digging this, as well!
	🥁 12:30pm Michael 98145: Hellos, Everyone. It's supposed to sound like that.
	12:33pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @12:18 Number 6 was a Hippie!
	12:34pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Stork @12:28 Hiya Stork! We just did a nice in-studio with Drerek Gripper a couple of weeks ago for Soundcheck. He's touring the US Southwest this week. Such an amazing guitarist, incorporating the sounds of the kora into his playing.
	12:35pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:30 Hellos to you, Michael!
	12:36pm Katharsis: hellos
	🥁 12:36pm Michael 98145: We had a nice world tour last week!
	🥁 12:37pm Mxter Baba: drifting along with you all today, it is sounding quite lovely from my western perch
	🥁 12:37pm David (in London): ↳ Stork @12:33 "I am not a hippie, I am a free man!"
	12:39pm Stork: ↳ David (in London) @12:37 But of course, Number 6. Everyone in the Village is an individual.
	🥁 12:40pm Dan S: Welcome back, Irene. I'm a bit preoccupied but I have been listening, though I'll need to head out shortly after 1 PM. Anyway, thanks for the music!
	12:46pm doctorjazz: Reminder: Yasmin Williams coming up this Saturday (may get to it, happens to be my sister's birthday so depends on if anything is up that day). www.bandsintown.com...
	12:47pm Irene Trudel: Happy to have you drifting with us, katharsis, Mxter Baba and Dan S!
	12:56pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @12:46 Ooh, I may not get around to playing something by Yasmin this week. Hope it's a great show!
	12:56pm tom tom the pipers son: hello irene and folks...nice sounds as per the usual....not that i'm taking it for granted... or anything "nice" in these times
	1:00pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:56 tom tom, we need to provide the "nice" to counteract the not-so-nice around us lately.
	1:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Pretty Polly" by "Darol Anger (w/Mary Chapin Carp... This is cool!
	1:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Pretty Polly" by "Darol Anger (w/Mary Chapin Carp... A Google search turned up that this CD was released as an HDCD, an attempt to get better sound from regular CD technology (don't think they're made any more).
	1:03pm Peter K.: This "Pretty Polly" is remarkable.
	🥁 1:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Hey Irene, all. Listening and working out here....
	🥁 1:05pm smit: ↳ Peter K. @1:03 Indeed, Peter...really beautiful tune!
	1:06pm Dean: Have you seen the new plinth on offer from Linn, doctorjazz?
	1:06pm Dean: I want it, but...gulp. https://www.linn.co.uk/us/turntables/components/decks/bedrok
	1:08pm Katharsis: i was thinking too, an exceptional take on pretty polly. mmm much needed drifting. my wires feeling frayed
	1:10pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @1:06 Ouch! $11,000+ is a tad too much for my purse.
	1:10pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @1:02 i remember when they had those out...briefly...
	🥁 1:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ Dean @1:06 Beautiful. But, Holy Crap 💲
	🥁 1:14pm βrian: "Engineered wood?" Nah.
	🥁 1:14pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @1:02 "In 2000, the technology was purchased by Microsoft, and the following year, there were over 5,000 HDCD titles available. Microsoft's HDCD official website was discontinued in 2005; by 2008, the number of available titles had declined to around 4,000."
	1:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nocturne for 2020" by "Jenny Scheinman" Saw Scheinman at the Winter Jazz Fest (at The City Winery), did a great set!
	1:15pm Dean: That is in fact my turntable, sans new plinth. I have to say that Linn's upgrades deliver.
	1:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @1:15 Another victem of Linn Envy/Obsessing here...
	1:17pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:14 I love Jenny's new album. Nice that you got to see her. Couldn't go to the WJF this year unfortunately.
	1:35pm Dean: Yesterday, I played this two LP set: https://www.discogs.com/release/2857198-Ramnad-Krishnan-Vidwan-Songs-Of-The-Carnatic-Tradition Acquired it used last weekend at Groove Yard. Musically, it is glorious; sonically, spectacular.
	1:40pm Jeff Moore: ↳ doctorjazz @1:16 I have the utmost respect for Linn's turntables, and have for lo these many decades... but I avoided the temptation to experience each of their revelatory upgrade generations by buying a VPI instead of a Linn ages ago and sidestepping the bright spotlight of Linn update curiosity/envy. I tracked a few VPI updates years ago, then just ignored it all and listened to music. I have to admit that part of my ability to leave the turntable setup as-is for years at a time stems from having decided that digital had finally gotten actually good and musical (as long as one applies the same unhinged attention to tweaky optimization to it which one would have been applying to the LP deck).
	1:40pm spodiodi: Greetings, Irene and rich people and everyone else too
	1:43pm Dean: One of my favorite listening experiences was with a VPI. I was in San Diego decades ago, visiting a stereo store equipped with the flagship VPI spinning an early pressing of Kind of Blue. Never heard it better. For a time, I ran Linn's CD player, the Karik (transport)/Numerik (DAC), to my ears the finest player at the time. Still have it, but the laser is shot.
	1:43pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Masters of War" by "Bob Dylan" Bob is the last of The Band.
	1:44pm still b/p: ↳ Dean @1:06 Sitting in my front hall is a Pioneer PL300 turntable which has a significant drag-lag-warp once every several seconds. Anyone can have this li'l beauty for just $25 American dollars and a lava lamp to be named later. It's not stowed/buried because I brought it last week to a local vintage components place that bought a receiver from me a few years ago. "Maybe. Oh...direct drive? And motor trouble? Don't want it. Sorry." A guy on craigslist has a "vintage stereo wanted" posting, and he was going to buy it along the two non-working 70s cassette decks and 90s Kenwood speakers. Then HE bailed because of motor fears. Bruised by tease and disappointment. If I was an ebay seller, I'd post just the dustcover. An object of desire for some. It's not a turntable from my own younger history -- no special attachment. But still loathe to heave it dumpward. Can make some weird thing or things from it. Lordy, lordy, look who's hoardy.
	1:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:40 I agree, there's a certain obsessiveness with constant updates (and, something that sounded great after your last upgrade didn't suddenly sound awful because a new, latest, greatest upgrade is available). But, suffering from Audiophilia Nervosa, I'm never completely able to avoid those feelings. VPI doesn't quite trumpet their upgrades like Linn dose, but they do release them as well. (my system was a killer system in 1990-1995, thinking of amp/preamp/speaker/turntable, DAC upgrades, but it's quite expensive).
	1:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ still b/p @1:44 There's a Brooklyn dealer, StereoBuyers, that buys used stuff, might be worth checking out...
	1:47pm Dean: Constant updates are Linn's business model. That was clear to me from the get-go. Once you have a Linn object, you'll have endless opportunities to upgrade it. I still don't have the top-of-the-line power supply for the 'table, but I bet it actually improves the sound. I feel your pain, still b/p. There used to be a fun stereo store in town, Berkeley Stereo, that peddled vintage objects.
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Did anyone see the Dylan Movie? (I really liked it, even though I could hardly understand anything "Dylan" said in the whole movie...)
	1:50pm Irene Trudel: Hi Jeff, spodiodi and and still b/p! I have a fairly solid Stanton DJ turntable currently. Despite my pretty decent ears, I don't have expensive playback tastes. Just happy to have a useable TT.
	1:51pm still b/p: ↳ doctorjazz @1:46 Thanks. But shipping likely = 8 to 20 times the value of the odds and ends on my Island of Red-Shirted, Elder and Ailing Audio Toys.
	1:52pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:47 We saw it last week and really liked it. Timothee did a pretty good job interpreting Dylan.
	1:53pm Dean: I'll never forget a series of reviews by Harry Pearson of Absolute Sound, '80s or '90s, of two Lyra cartridges. The first one determined that Lyra's then flagship was leaps and bounds beyond any cartridge heard before, a true breakthrough in analog fidelity. Fast forward a few issues and Pearson reviews the new Lyra flagship. He queries how anybody can even bear to listen to the former cartridge. I do a lot of listening via a crappy Apple laptop, and I don't think there is such a thing as "expensive playback tastes." I believe anybody can hear important differences with gear. It's not wine tasting, though the Pearsons of the world want us to believe it is.
	1:58pm doctorjazz: ↳ still b/p @1:51 I wasn't sure if you're in the NY area or not (that shop is in Brooklyn-they also sell new stuff, speakers I've been eyeing, the Devore O93. Oh well...
	1:59pm still b/p: Bouncing around to forums on vintage audio, people were arguing about certain gear claims. Some say better cables/connectors and other discriminatingly purchased features are bullshit for any noticeable diffference, that some things become hot topics and people think they have to have them, fearful of being not aware or discriminating enough. Somebody went /s in the discussion, with a reminder about not letting your cables have too many bends in them because electrons get backed up. Someone else took it seriously enough to challenge.
	1:59pm doctorjazz: I liked the musical performances in the Dylan movie, really got the feel of that music (and dug when Al Kooper came in, they didn't need him on guitar, and he sat down at the organ).
	2:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ still b/p @1:59 There's snake oil out there for sure, but there really is gear that's better sounding than other gear. It's not alway the big bucks that gets it, though, matching gear so it's compatible can get better sound than expensive stuff not matched well.
	🥁 2:02pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Morning Sun" by "Marianne Faithfull" RIP, MF :(
	🥁 2:02pm Michael 98145: RIP, Beautiful Marianne
	2:03pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Dean @1:53 I agree, Dean. You can go all crazy trying for the perfect experience and lose touch with the joy of just hearing the music.
	2:05pm Dean: Curiously, my current audio gear dealer is a huge advocate for good (and expensive) cable. He was also Steve Jobs' audio dealer for a time, which makes me wonder. I can't imagine Jobs appreciating anything beyond a close-and-play, but that's my bias. But then my dealer is very down to earth, too. He loves spinning beat-up old rock 'n' roll LPs, and he has YouTube videos running in his store on the home theater rigs. They are captivating.
	2:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "As Tears Go By" by "Marianne Faithfull" That's the 1st hit she had, if memory serves me...
	2:06pm doctorjazz: Too Many RIPs these days, y'know?
	🥁 2:06pm Michael 98145: Speaking of listening and watching, i tried a few times to watch part of the Grammys. Could, Not.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:06 I do my best to avoid them. (which I also can. not. completely pull off.)
	🥁 2:07pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" Wow, been a minute since I've heard this one...love it. Back to work...
	2:08pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Song: "As Tears Go By" by "Marianne Faithfull" The You Tube video for "As Tears Go By" is just a stark close-up of mostly her eyes, and a floor curl-up: youtu.be...
	🥁 2:10pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:06 Auto-tune burlesque brings me no joy.
	🥁 2:10pm TonyR: We thought MF sounded old in 1979. She's younger than that now.
	2:10pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @2:07 I loved the Broken English album when it came out. What a stark, honest portrait of Marianne after so many yers off the scene!
	🥁 2:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:10 Mine is autographed
	2:13pm still b/p: Saw a portion of Grammys, some nice energy and capable performances, but, yes, was the typical orgy of production whizzbammery and stage attitudes, and the whole show and biz, from a few angles, just be wwwwweird.
	🥁 2:13pm chris in the redwoods: out for a walk before rain returns. thanks for the lovely tunes, Irene. happy trails, all!
	🥁 2:13pm Michael 98145: ↳ chris in the redwoods @2:13 cheers!
	2:14pm Irene Trudel: ↳ chris in the redwoods @2:13 Enjoy the walk, chris!
	🥁 2:14pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Unzucht (Lust)" by "Marianne Faithfull" Used to have a record-store promo balloon for this album, matching the sleeve coloring. Who hears "The Seven Deadly Sins" and thinks "Balloons!"??
	2:14pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:11 Very cool!
	2:16pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:10 So true. She returned with a beautifully world-worn voice.
	2:17pm still b/p: This makes me think I'd like to have heard a trio harmony number of Marianne in this period with Glynis Johns and Carol Channing.
	2:21pm northguineahills: ↳ still b/p @2:17 i can hear that
	🥁 2:23pm TonyR: I need to give "Horses..." album another listen. Didn't like it when it came out.
	2:25pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:23 Same here. A bit of a mixed bag.
	2:26pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Unzucht (Lust)" by "Marianne Faithfull" Marianne Faithfull is someone I was aware existed but somehow never happened to develop an enthusiasm for / interest in – which I assume had more to do with historical accidents of what I happened to encounter over the years combined with the quirks of my own ear than anything intrinsic to her music. But I think it would have caught my ear if I'd stumbled across her doing Brecht/Weill back in the day.
	🥁 2:28pm TonyR: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:26 "Back in the Day??" Why, I oughta... Oh wait. Saw her do it at BAM in 1995. 30 years??
	2:29pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:28 Yeas, it really was that long ago. An eye-blink...
	🥁 2:30pm βrian: ↳ TonyR @2:28 1995 was twenty minutes ago.
	🥁 2:30pm TonyR: ↳ βrian @2:30 There ya go.
	2:30pm northguineahills: ↳ βrian @2:30 february has been a long decade...
	🥁 2:33pm Brian in UK: Hello Irene & music listeners.
	🥁 2:33pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Children of Stone" by "Marianne Faithfull" I think this one has Rufus Wainwright on it.
	2:36pm Irene Trudel: ↳ TonyR @2:33 Good Ear, Tony!
	🥁 2:37pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Don't Forget Me" by "Marianne Faithfull" ⭐⭐
	🥁 2:38pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Don't Forget Me" by "Marianne Faithfull" Harry Nilsson tune. MF always prefaced it live with a great Nilsson story.
	2:39pm BenZ WPB: Great song. That’s something when she says she’ll miss the alimony!
	2:41pm technicalflaw: ↳ Song: "Don't Forget Me" by "Marianne Faithfull" Hi Irene, tuning in from my hospital bed, and loving the show. Recently re-listened to Marianne’s “Rich Kid Blues” covers album. Forgot just how great it is.
	2:43pm northguineahills: ↳ technicalflaw @2:41 hope you feel better soon! pixie dust yer way!
	🥁 2:43pm TonyR: Thanks for the McGasko tip.
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Garth Hudson, was very sad to hear it
	🥁 2:44pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:37 written 1974
	2:44pm doctorjazz: Got to see The Band a number of times back in the day...
	🥁 2:44pm βrian: The Gulf of Mexico, you say?
	2:46pm Irene Trudel: ↳ northguineahills @2:30 I have no sense of time any more, n.g.h.
	🥁 2:46pm βrian: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:46 Every night is a long night of white chickens.
	🥁 2:47pm Brian in UK: Just been playing the reissue of Stage Fright plus a live CD. I was at the concert, they knocked me out. You really appreciate Garth's work playing live. He gives each song textures that make it sublime. Garth playing the Royal Albert Hall organ was the best, Chest Fever ofcourse.
	2:47pm Irene Trudel: ↳ technicalflaw @2:41 Oh, no! Hope it's nothing serious, technicalflaw, and that you're feeling better soon.
	2:47pm BenZ WPB: Never got to see the Band live. I did see Rick Danko at the Lone Star Cafe in Manhattan. That was a great place
	🥁 2:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ technicalflaw @2:41 Hope you can get some sleep.
	🥁 2:51pm TonyR: Gotta run. TYSM for the Marianne today, IT.
	2:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Words and Numbers (song sketch)" by "The Band" One I haven't heard on any tribute yet, cool!
	2:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:47 I post this like a broken record, but I saw The Band in NYC, Academy of Music, New Year's Eve 1991, horn section, Dylan came out and played encores. Great night!
	2:53pm spodiodi: Thank you, Irene! Your shows are always such a pleasure.
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Thanks Irene, great show!
	🥁 2:54pm bradford: Thanks, Irene!
	2:54pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Brian in UK @2:47 Lucky you!
	2:54pm northguineahills: thanks, Irene, it's been fun!
	🥁 2:55pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @2:53 Have to say that I loathe the Last Waltz. It struck me that they ended up as a backing band for themselves. Well filmed etc but otherwise....
	2:55pm technicalflaw: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:47 Thanks for your concern,Irene & Brian. Yes I’m OK apparently, just recovering from surgery overnight. Music (and WFMU) make it much more tolerable.
	2:56pm Irene Trudel: Thanks everyone for drifting along with me today! I'll return next Monday. Do stay tuned for Wendy del Formaggio and Wreck Your Own Adventure, up next.wfmu.org...
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:55 I dug that movie when it came out (didn't get to that concert, though).
	2:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:55 And the Staple Singers, man...
	🥁 2:58pm Brian in UK: ↳ doctorjazz @2:56 It was the idea of the whole project that I found unnecessary. Yes, there were good performances.
	🥁 2:59pm Michael 98145: Wonderful. Thank you.
	2:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Brian in UK @2:58 It was self indulgent, granted...
	🥁 2:59pm smit: Thanks, Irene!
	🥁 3:00pm Michael 98145: ↳ technicalflaw @2:55 Yikes. Best wishes.
