WFMU: Miniature Minotaurs with Kurt Gottschalk: Playlist from March 29, 2013

Listener comments!
	3:03pm adam_nspy: That was damn good radio!
	3:10pm common: this is hilarious!
	3:11pm Lindsay: Say, is irritating radio your specialty ?
	3:12pm Ike: Oh my gosh, how can the locusts be here already?! The ground isn't 64 degrees yet! Oh, never mind, it's just Kurt's show.
	3:13pm paula pc: 3:00 - 3:13 pm EST has been heavenly so far. Thanks, Kurt!
	3:13pm dçþät: isn't there the WFMU manifesto somewhere that listeners like Linday can be pointed to?....
	3:14pm Droll: Lindsay, You're thinking of Kenny G, this is Kurt G.
	3:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interactive Dog Radio - like birds on DVD for cats... ...the Audio equivalent of a colorful spectrum of light - ? (...right in yer eyes?...)
	3:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We need a favorite button for just certain frequencies.
	3:17pm dçþät: oh, Kenzo--how about a hate button, like a skull for songs we dislike? Don't think I'd use it too much but it'd be fun.
	3:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And then someone could favorite your hate
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - clearly, Kenzo.
	3:18pm dçþät: YES, EXACTLY! Oh just imagine the bad vibes...
	3:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...considereng the Compression Engineering characteristics of dif. Stations, Kenzo - that's prob. less a joke than I think...
	3:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - just like that!: I wanted Shame Icons for NonPledgers - or something Kewler than a Heart - like Spades @ the least...
	3:24pm Mike East: what would a shame icon look like?
	3:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Friendship Society Paintball could release a lot of tension - certainly more interesting (to me) than talk of Fantasy Baseball...or Civil War reenactment...
	3:26pm Droll: RRN, Why stop there? It could show what you paid (and what you still owe). Personally, I put away my 'thon decorations after H&M, my heart is in a box with my Xmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving stuff.
	3:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - a little stinky poo? ...& that Hendrix is just noise, too. ...Did you hear Dylan went Electric - ?!?! - OOMMGG - !
	3:29pm SueAdynamo: you win. i muted.
	3:29pm Lindsay: Seriously,You need to get laid..
	3:31pm Kurt Gottschalk: i love the 'hate' icon idea! hi everyone. lindsay, there's always pandora.
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We were riffing on that Irwin's show before last : www.wfmu.org... - he had a Poster that looks as if could be a replacement for the Pledge Cow-Dog Graphic: If people don't Pledge, does this cartoon kid get run over? It never ends. Someone else said 'You have to Pledge to get rid of your Heart.' - LOL!
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I don't even mind being Guilted into Pledging! The Naked Lunch is crap gotta be paid for. Every Society has Rites & Jumps You In. (RawkBands are very Gang-like, ferinstance.) But I would choose - not @ heart icon...
	3:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That BBC project must be brilliant. Loved the Marclay bit.
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if people don't pay their Pledges - does the cartoon silhouette kid get run over...
	3:46pm Van in DC: I never pledge. I pay up front, always :) Have a great weekend everyone.
	3:51pm Kurt Gottschalk: i just pasted the link for the marclay piece up there on the playlist. you can follow that to hear the other pieces.
	3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I think the Big Book of RockBand Managers hasn't been wrriten yet - the story of Musicians & MoneyMen. - & least @ FMU - the Mgmt. is pretty visible - ?? - When do hearts all disappear? Never?...back to Irregular Programming...Working in Retail, the Holiday comparison certainly resonates... - I usually Work Fridays : So this is what it's like - !...
	3:56pm dçþät: this is a great Bryce-follow-up-show..
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I Charged it - but only @ T-Shirt level (I poor). - Interesting Guiltathon coincided w/ Pope selection - a doublebill... - On the other hand: Loox like Marathon worked - !
	3:58pm shelley hirsch: i adore this piece--thanks kurt!!!!
	3:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Thx for the BBC link. Will follow up with hungry teeth things.
	3:59pm Kurt Gottschalk: shelley!
	4:06pm Caryn: Oh sheesh, I keep forgetting about the one-hour change! Of course, with my luck, when we change our clocks this weekend, I'll then probably forget about that and tune in early for all the shows...
	4:08pm Kurt Gottschalk: caryn, are you on orthodox daylight savings time?
	4:13pm Caryn: @Kurt: oh, who knows? It's EU-mandated DST nowadays, apparently. But DST occurs at different times in different places. It's like Father's Day that way.
	4:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I am not convinced of the benefits of Savings Time to traffic, farmers, productivity - but what do I know (compared to detriments of getting used to it & coordinating dif. countries?) - but OK - Change the Time if you must - but Change the Time you Change the Time (SavingsTime earlier than before) - now you just messin' w/ me gratuitously. - How are you Caryn?
	4:23pm shelley hirsch: nd for playing alessandros new cd or is it lp?
	4:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: i was in norway when the clocks in the us were set back an hour. i got home and it felt like it was sunny all night!
	4:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: shelley - i have it as an lp, don't know if there's a cd
	4:24pm northguineahills: I should say something...
	4:24pm shelley hirsch: cool-i just set up my record player after many years of it being hidden away
	4:25pm Lindsay: Congratulations,you just composed a show for "The End OF Days" Pass the cyanide...
	4:26pm shelley hirsch: were you really in just in norway? i love oslo
	4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I see only some Member names but not others - you?
	4:29pm Kurt Gottschalk: i was in bergen for the borealis festival. brilliant!
	4:32pm common: Yes!
	4:32pm shelley hirsch: nice!!!!! ive was just in oslo--wonderful-want to see more of norway.did you perform there?
	4:32pm Caryn: @RRN63: oh fine, just bored with everything being closed for Easter. Still waiting to hear from those jobs. WFMU and British panel shows getting me through the days.
	4:35pm Cecile: I have to say that since Kenny G moved on, this is my go-to place to groove on the spoken word.
	4:35pm northguineahills: Even in the Bible belt in N Florida where my parents live, most places are open on Easter Sunday, except for Chik-Fil-A.
	4:36pm Cecile: Lindsay, if you want songs, I would check out Trouble's or Duane's show on the archives.
	4:36pm Kurt Gottschalk: oh, shelley, sweet of you to even think i'd be invited to play a festival in europe. no, i was there as a journalist.
	4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Often feel like it's Later Than I Think - but one aspect of Creativity is to address the Times rather than deny them - & to take the Feelings - & the Sounds -around us - whatever they may be - & try to do something Aesthetic & Self-Expressive w/ even them. This makes them Ours rather than Theirs. (It's what Jung called 'Individuation' - becoming an Individual in relation to your Environment.) - It's legit to have your Tastes - & to Critique things on their own terms - but it's worth learning what those terms are first - & Respectful to do so as well. - Just my opinion (everybody's got one - as they chant in 'I Am the Walrus').
	4:41pm Mr. Lowry: I usually don't like Prince, but this is tolerable.
	4:41pm Kurt Gottschalk: i always like prince and this is tolerable
	4:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This here is tolerable as HELL! Nice.
	4:42pm Cecile: Nothing can bother me now. Dave Attell is playing a couple of private shows for people on my favorite comedy club's mailing list, and I SCORED TICKETS FOR MY ACTUAL BIRTHDAY.
	4:43pm common: i'm with you, kurt.
	4:43pm tim from champaign: Frank Booth Industries. Good label name.
	4:43pm Cecile: YEAH.
	4:44pm northguineahills: Bebobbity awesome, Cecile!
	4:46pm Cecile: This mailing list has been berry, berry good to me. I've seen Patton Oswalt and Demetri Martin at some of this "insider" shows.
	4:47pm Cecile: Attell will also be funnier in front of an audience of comedy loving drunk assholes rather than just plain old drunk assholes like he would at a theatre.
	4:48pm Caryn: Ooh, nice, Cecile! Colour me both happy for you and green with envy at the same time! On a related note, Eddie Izzard coming here, can't afford tickets. :(
	4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's After the End of the World - don't you know that yet - ?! - SunRa
	4:51pm Cecile: Eddie is worth the money. I tagged along with a friend to Chicago to see him and it was worth the crazy ticket price and the plane ride. He was even funny in the United Center.
	4:52pm Carmichael: Hiya Koit. Howzit, everyone?
	4:53pm Cecile: Great, Carm.
	5:01pm Carmichael: Way to go, Cecile! I would love to see The Insomniac himself. Last night I was playing an old David Sanborn show I taped on VHS. Christian Marclay fairly stunned the audience with a musical melange from his four turntables and pile o' vinyl.
	5:05pm Sigurdur: thats quite the list you have mr DJ
	5:05pm Cecile: Carm, he is like the modern comedy Rabelais - a poet of absolute filth.
	5:06pm Caryn: Nicely put, Cecile!
	5:07pm Folsom: Gotta love john Paul Jones
	5:08pm Mr. Lowry: I normally don't like Lady Gaga, but this is tolerable.
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How much does Izzard have Routines (some of his stuff is pretty involved) - & how much does he Riff? - I'd feel disappointed if he didn't leave me - crippled...
	5:09pm Ian: awesome set so far!
	5:11pm Cecile: He riffs a lot. His mind doesn't stay in one place very long.
	5:12pm Cecile: I mean, the Death Star routine shows up, and he retells the history of the world quite randomly, but he just gets distracted and goes off on weird tangents.
	5:13pm tim from champaign: Lately, I've been marvelling in how much Led Zep I hear in the Jesus Lizard. The Diamanda JPJ fits with my theory.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - So not regular daytime Fri. listener - but today (?) observe that Programs have been a little 'rough' - more Abstract stuff or 'Uneasy Listening' to begin w/ - then reward the effort w/ texture change later ...reminds me of an Ecstasy trip (...only had one, in fact...) in sense of it being an amphetamine-related ascent of tension - & the 'rolling' fun part the hanglide from that altitude. Or perhaps not.
	5:15pm Kurt Gottschalk: FRIDAY DRIVE TIME, BABY!
	5:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that cassette dropout texture sure takes me back...
	5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Diamanda Galas & JPJ - they were a Really Good Band. - Really!
	5:20pm Caryn: I just don't get why they've booked Izzard into an arena for his gig here? I mean, stand-up in general has only been popular here for 2-3 years, Izzard himself has fans certainly, but nowhere enough to fill an arena I suspect. Since the arena booking list for 6 months is essentially "Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Iron Maiden, Eddie Izzard, Bruce Springsteen". Really? I complain because as a fan I'd like to see him come here again, and if he ends up performing for a mostly empty house, he ain't gonna come back!
	5:20pm tim from champaign: RRN - I think you captured the essence of Friday afternoon WFMU with "uneasy listening".
	5:23pm Carmichael: "Kurt Gottschalk, stashed in yer dash for the drive home, here at WFMU, where we reach the beach and rule the pools!!!"
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the good artist empty house no come back thing Sucks...Could he really not know all that though?
	5:25pm Kurt Gottschalk: carm, HA!
	5:26pm Caryn: @RRN63: he's been here once before, but it was a way smaller venue. I suspect the arena booking now is part "lots of fans were unable to get tickets last time, so we need a bigger venue" gone overboard and part "the booking agent is having delusions of grandieur".
	5:26pm Carmichael: I like Izzard and Colin Quinn because they make me consider complex and lofty premises. If I want some easy straight forward observational stuff, Louis CK is my go-to.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I guess three-hour DJing is common - it's just the nature of the ride @ FMU that makes it seem Epic! ...Early on (I might have been home for more Fri. then around Xmas??) FMU had me thinking of '2001:A S.O.' all the time...perhaps not w/out reason.
	5:29pm Carmichael: @RRN63: As nervous and paranoid as a lot of standups normally are, I'm sure they stress out all the time about empty seats or worse, blank stares. You're looking at 1 person on the stage; they're looking at a few hundred or thousand people, worried that they won't laugh.
	5:30pm Kurt Gottschalk: ha! bryce and i were talking about 2001 today, and the ligeti music used in the soundtrack!
	5:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sweet loop...
	5:33pm Carmichael: Kurt, haven't you practiced all your DJ -isms for when you get the big call to be on the wacky Morning Zoo? Better to be prepared.
	5:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...loop(s)
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Yes - Artist & Mgmt. (Agent) theme again. I can't see Member names against Black (tho' I like Black) - but I never know if it's my old PC & just my situation. Suspect Colored name Fony on Black ='s no Contrast. Not critical but harder to tell who's who. Then again, like John&Yoko Bagism: If inna Bag - have to judge what's Said - not the Sayer.
	5:35pm Cecile: Colin Quinn? I think he's a great writer, but he always seems like he's stumbling over his words. Like his thoughts are coming out faster than he can form words.
	5:38pm Carmichael: I was impressed by his HBO special on the history of the world, which he wrote himself. He was slower paced, I think. Very Izzard-like in his observations, but without the heels.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dave the Spazz uses HAL (being a 'Dave', as am I) - which might be where it started - & I was Commenting Ligeti (?:I will learn to spell that!) @ Bryce's today, yeah...He played Mr. Morse & I made the comparison (out loud).
	5:40pm Cecile: Carm, I'll have to check it out.
	5:40pm Caryn: Colin Quinn and Norm McDonald are the two comedians other comedians compliment but I just don't care for, apart for the very occasional joke or performance. Occasional moments of genius and hilarity, and then 80-95 % nothing.
	5:42pm Cecile: Petra Haden kinda wears thin after a while.
	5:43pm Carmichael: You're right, Caryn. Their humor is very wry and dry, in my opinion. Although they make me laugh, I don't spit out my drink. I just smile.
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Now only 'Cecile' shows up in bright red...?... - Writer & Performer (& Improviser) are deffo. dif. skills. - They nagged Milton Berle (anachronism) for just being a (memorized) joke encyclopedia but they say he always smoked challengers.
	5:44pm Cecile: You know who I miss? Patrice O' Neal.
	5:45pm Cecile: Norm McDonald is funny in interviews, but I never got his standup.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah: Petra an example?: Only covers?
	5:46pm G: Translation: Dear SoundExchange, Y'ALL ARE A WORLDCLASS PAIN IN THE BACKSIDE. I HOPE YOU'RE REALLY PROUD OF YOURSELVES. HAVE A BLESSED DAY, BITCHES. :)
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whereas Robyn Hitchcock the mad writer. Imagine being locked inna room w/ him & Izzard???
	5:47pm Kurt Gottschalk: naw, not so much. they do really pay artists. i'm just annoyed that i couldn't find info on that track (which i like quite a bit, mind you).
	5:49pm Cecile: that would be too much of a good thing, rabbit.
	5:50pm Green Mountain Man Mark: Thanks for the show, Kurt. Today is the first day I got out my flip flops to wear, and some shorts. I gain about 20 lbs every winter and I really notice it this time of year when I put shorts on for the first time since last year. By the end of summer I am about normal weight, then fall comes and I turn into a bear.
	5:50pm G: my bad. not kurt's. though "not so much" is not a ringing denial :)
	5:51pm northguineahills: Super fun show Kurt, Have a great weekend everyone!
	5:52pm Kurt Gottschalk: no harm no foul, g. i neither love nor hate soundexchange.
	5:53pm Caryn: An Izzard/Hitchcock double would be crazy. The closest I ever got was a night at a bar with Terry Pratchett and Robert Rankin. One is nutty enough on his own, but both at the same time? Fun times.
	5:54pm G: Royalty documentation is fun, though, and that we can all agree on. I know someone who did clerical work for ASCAP a few years back....
	5:54pm emmagineering: DJKG! FURSAXA! wish i could be listening right now. playlist looks good? :)
	5:54pm Carmichael: @RRN63: When you click on a commentor's profile, the name changes color. That's probably why you are seeing a particular name and not the others. It IS a font color issue; it happens to me on some FMU pages and not others.
	5:54pm Cecile: that sounds amazing, Caryn. And poor Terry...
	5:54pm glenn: two words, caryn: john otway.
	5:55pm Carmichael: Thanks for the great show, Kurt! And for quoting my idiot DJ -isms. :-)
	5:55pm emmagineering: non-sequitir: i like how wfmu would never ask you to carry a one on the math question.
	5:57pm Green Mountain Man Mark: you still have like 4 minutes
	5:57pm Caryn: @glenn: ooh...
	5:57pm G: different DJs have different bespoke color schemes. on kurt's show, already visited profile links are dark blue on the black background. after week one i saw the blue lettering pretty easily. and the avatar is plenty anyhow, if you've seen it a lot...
	5:59pm Carmichael: Unless you cahnge your avatar daily, like I do.

Listener comments!
	3:03pm adam_nspy: That was damn good radio!
	3:10pm common: this is hilarious!
	3:11pm Lindsay: Say, is irritating radio your specialty ?
	3:12pm Ike: Oh my gosh, how can the locusts be here already?! The ground isn't 64 degrees yet! Oh, never mind, it's just Kurt's show.
	3:13pm paula pc: 3:00 - 3:13 pm EST has been heavenly so far. Thanks, Kurt!
	3:13pm dçþät: isn't there the WFMU manifesto somewhere that listeners like Linday can be pointed to?....
	3:14pm Droll: Lindsay, You're thinking of Kenny G, this is Kurt G.
	3:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interactive Dog Radio - like birds on DVD for cats... ...the Audio equivalent of a colorful spectrum of light - ? (...right in yer eyes?...)
	3:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We need a favorite button for just certain frequencies.
	3:17pm dçþät: oh, Kenzo--how about a hate button, like a skull for songs we dislike? Don't think I'd use it too much but it'd be fun.
	3:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): And then someone could favorite your hate
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - clearly, Kenzo.
	3:18pm dçþät: YES, EXACTLY! Oh just imagine the bad vibes...
	3:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...considereng the Compression Engineering characteristics of dif. Stations, Kenzo - that's prob. less a joke than I think...
	3:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - just like that!: I wanted Shame Icons for NonPledgers - or something Kewler than a Heart - like Spades @ the least...
	3:24pm Mike East: what would a shame icon look like?
	3:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Friendship Society Paintball could release a lot of tension - certainly more interesting (to me) than talk of Fantasy Baseball...or Civil War reenactment...
	3:26pm Droll: RRN, Why stop there? It could show what you paid (and what you still owe). Personally, I put away my 'thon decorations after H&M, my heart is in a box with my Xmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving stuff.
	3:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - a little stinky poo? ...& that Hendrix is just noise, too. ...Did you hear Dylan went Electric - ?!?! - OOMMGG - !
	3:29pm SueAdynamo: you win. i muted.
	3:29pm Lindsay: Seriously,You need to get laid..
	3:31pm Kurt Gottschalk: i love the 'hate' icon idea! hi everyone. lindsay, there's always pandora.
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We were riffing on that Irwin's show before last : www.wfmu.org... - he had a Poster that looks as if could be a replacement for the Pledge Cow-Dog Graphic: If people don't Pledge, does this cartoon kid get run over? It never ends. Someone else said 'You have to Pledge to get rid of your Heart.' - LOL!
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I don't even mind being Guilted into Pledging! The Naked Lunch is crap gotta be paid for. Every Society has Rites & Jumps You In. (RawkBands are very Gang-like, ferinstance.) But I would choose - not @ heart icon...
	3:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That BBC project must be brilliant. Loved the Marclay bit.
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if people don't pay their Pledges - does the cartoon silhouette kid get run over...
	3:46pm Van in DC: I never pledge. I pay up front, always :) Have a great weekend everyone.
	3:51pm Kurt Gottschalk: i just pasted the link for the marclay piece up there on the playlist. you can follow that to hear the other pieces.
	3:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I think the Big Book of RockBand Managers hasn't been wrriten yet - the story of Musicians & MoneyMen. - & least @ FMU - the Mgmt. is pretty visible - ?? - When do hearts all disappear? Never?...back to Irregular Programming...Working in Retail, the Holiday comparison certainly resonates... - I usually Work Fridays : So this is what it's like - !...
	3:56pm dçþät: this is a great Bryce-follow-up-show..
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I Charged it - but only @ T-Shirt level (I poor). - Interesting Guiltathon coincided w/ Pope selection - a doublebill... - On the other hand: Loox like Marathon worked - !
	3:58pm shelley hirsch: i adore this piece--thanks kurt!!!!
	3:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Thx for the BBC link. Will follow up with hungry teeth things.
	3:59pm Kurt Gottschalk: shelley!
	4:06pm Caryn: Oh sheesh, I keep forgetting about the one-hour change! Of course, with my luck, when we change our clocks this weekend, I'll then probably forget about that and tune in early for all the shows...
	4:08pm Kurt Gottschalk: caryn, are you on orthodox daylight savings time?
	4:13pm Caryn: @Kurt: oh, who knows? It's EU-mandated DST nowadays, apparently. But DST occurs at different times in different places. It's like Father's Day that way.
	4:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I am not convinced of the benefits of Savings Time to traffic, farmers, productivity - but what do I know (compared to detriments of getting used to it & coordinating dif. countries?) - but OK - Change the Time if you must - but Change the Time you Change the Time (SavingsTime earlier than before) - now you just messin' w/ me gratuitously. - How are you Caryn?
	4:23pm shelley hirsch: nd for playing alessandros new cd or is it lp?
	4:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: i was in norway when the clocks in the us were set back an hour. i got home and it felt like it was sunny all night!
	4:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: shelley - i have it as an lp, don't know if there's a cd
	4:24pm northguineahills: I should say something...
	4:24pm shelley hirsch: cool-i just set up my record player after many years of it being hidden away
	4:25pm Lindsay: Congratulations,you just composed a show for "The End OF Days" Pass the cyanide...
	4:26pm shelley hirsch: were you really in just in norway? i love oslo
	4:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I see only some Member names but not others - you?
	4:29pm Kurt Gottschalk: i was in bergen for the borealis festival. brilliant!
	4:32pm common: Yes!
	4:32pm shelley hirsch: nice!!!!! ive was just in oslo--wonderful-want to see more of norway.did you perform there?
	4:32pm Caryn: @RRN63: oh fine, just bored with everything being closed for Easter. Still waiting to hear from those jobs. WFMU and British panel shows getting me through the days.
	4:35pm Cecile: I have to say that since Kenny G moved on, this is my go-to place to groove on the spoken word.
	4:35pm northguineahills: Even in the Bible belt in N Florida where my parents live, most places are open on Easter Sunday, except for Chik-Fil-A.
	4:36pm Cecile: Lindsay, if you want songs, I would check out Trouble's or Duane's show on the archives.
	4:36pm Kurt Gottschalk: oh, shelley, sweet of you to even think i'd be invited to play a festival in europe. no, i was there as a journalist.
	4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Often feel like it's Later Than I Think - but one aspect of Creativity is to address the Times rather than deny them - & to take the Feelings - & the Sounds -around us - whatever they may be - & try to do something Aesthetic & Self-Expressive w/ even them. This makes them Ours rather than Theirs. (It's what Jung called 'Individuation' - becoming an Individual in relation to your Environment.) - It's legit to have your Tastes - & to Critique things on their own terms - but it's worth learning what those terms are first - & Respectful to do so as well. - Just my opinion (everybody's got one - as they chant in 'I Am the Walrus').
	4:41pm Mr. Lowry: I usually don't like Prince, but this is tolerable.
	4:41pm Kurt Gottschalk: i always like prince and this is tolerable
	4:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This here is tolerable as HELL! Nice.
	4:42pm Cecile: Nothing can bother me now. Dave Attell is playing a couple of private shows for people on my favorite comedy club's mailing list, and I SCORED TICKETS FOR MY ACTUAL BIRTHDAY.
	4:43pm common: i'm with you, kurt.
	4:43pm tim from champaign: Frank Booth Industries. Good label name.
	4:43pm Cecile: YEAH.
	4:44pm northguineahills: Bebobbity awesome, Cecile!
	4:46pm Cecile: This mailing list has been berry, berry good to me. I've seen Patton Oswalt and Demetri Martin at some of this "insider" shows.
	4:47pm Cecile: Attell will also be funnier in front of an audience of comedy loving drunk assholes rather than just plain old drunk assholes like he would at a theatre.
	4:48pm Caryn: Ooh, nice, Cecile! Colour me both happy for you and green with envy at the same time! On a related note, Eddie Izzard coming here, can't afford tickets. :(
	4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's After the End of the World - don't you know that yet - ?! - SunRa
	4:51pm Cecile: Eddie is worth the money. I tagged along with a friend to Chicago to see him and it was worth the crazy ticket price and the plane ride. He was even funny in the United Center.
	4:52pm Carmichael: Hiya Koit. Howzit, everyone?
	4:53pm Cecile: Great, Carm.
	5:01pm Carmichael: Way to go, Cecile! I would love to see The Insomniac himself. Last night I was playing an old David Sanborn show I taped on VHS. Christian Marclay fairly stunned the audience with a musical melange from his four turntables and pile o' vinyl.
	5:05pm Sigurdur: thats quite the list you have mr DJ
	5:05pm Cecile: Carm, he is like the modern comedy Rabelais - a poet of absolute filth.
	5:06pm Caryn: Nicely put, Cecile!
	5:07pm Folsom: Gotta love john Paul Jones
	5:08pm Mr. Lowry: I normally don't like Lady Gaga, but this is tolerable.
	5:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How much does Izzard have Routines (some of his stuff is pretty involved) - & how much does he Riff? - I'd feel disappointed if he didn't leave me - crippled...
	5:09pm Ian: awesome set so far!
	5:11pm Cecile: He riffs a lot. His mind doesn't stay in one place very long.
	5:12pm Cecile: I mean, the Death Star routine shows up, and he retells the history of the world quite randomly, but he just gets distracted and goes off on weird tangents.
	5:13pm tim from champaign: Lately, I've been marvelling in how much Led Zep I hear in the Jesus Lizard. The Diamanda JPJ fits with my theory.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - So not regular daytime Fri. listener - but today (?) observe that Programs have been a little 'rough' - more Abstract stuff or 'Uneasy Listening' to begin w/ - then reward the effort w/ texture change later ...reminds me of an Ecstasy trip (...only had one, in fact...) in sense of it being an amphetamine-related ascent of tension - & the 'rolling' fun part the hanglide from that altitude. Or perhaps not.
	5:15pm Kurt Gottschalk: FRIDAY DRIVE TIME, BABY!
	5:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that cassette dropout texture sure takes me back...
	5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Diamanda Galas & JPJ - they were a Really Good Band. - Really!
	5:20pm Caryn: I just don't get why they've booked Izzard into an arena for his gig here? I mean, stand-up in general has only been popular here for 2-3 years, Izzard himself has fans certainly, but nowhere enough to fill an arena I suspect. Since the arena booking list for 6 months is essentially "Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, Iron Maiden, Eddie Izzard, Bruce Springsteen". Really? I complain because as a fan I'd like to see him come here again, and if he ends up performing for a mostly empty house, he ain't gonna come back!
	5:20pm tim from champaign: RRN - I think you captured the essence of Friday afternoon WFMU with "uneasy listening".
	5:23pm Carmichael: "Kurt Gottschalk, stashed in yer dash for the drive home, here at WFMU, where we reach the beach and rule the pools!!!"
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the good artist empty house no come back thing Sucks...Could he really not know all that though?
	5:25pm Kurt Gottschalk: carm, HA!
	5:26pm Caryn: @RRN63: he's been here once before, but it was a way smaller venue. I suspect the arena booking now is part "lots of fans were unable to get tickets last time, so we need a bigger venue" gone overboard and part "the booking agent is having delusions of grandieur".
	5:26pm Carmichael: I like Izzard and Colin Quinn because they make me consider complex and lofty premises. If I want some easy straight forward observational stuff, Louis CK is my go-to.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I guess three-hour DJing is common - it's just the nature of the ride @ FMU that makes it seem Epic! ...Early on (I might have been home for more Fri. then around Xmas??) FMU had me thinking of '2001:A S.O.' all the time...perhaps not w/out reason.
	5:29pm Carmichael: @RRN63: As nervous and paranoid as a lot of standups normally are, I'm sure they stress out all the time about empty seats or worse, blank stares. You're looking at 1 person on the stage; they're looking at a few hundred or thousand people, worried that they won't laugh.
	5:30pm Kurt Gottschalk: ha! bryce and i were talking about 2001 today, and the ligeti music used in the soundtrack!
	5:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sweet loop...
	5:33pm Carmichael: Kurt, haven't you practiced all your DJ -isms for when you get the big call to be on the wacky Morning Zoo? Better to be prepared.
	5:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...loop(s)
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Yes - Artist & Mgmt. (Agent) theme again. I can't see Member names against Black (tho' I like Black) - but I never know if it's my old PC & just my situation. Suspect Colored name Fony on Black ='s no Contrast. Not critical but harder to tell who's who. Then again, like John&Yoko Bagism: If inna Bag - have to judge what's Said - not the Sayer.
	5:35pm Cecile: Colin Quinn? I think he's a great writer, but he always seems like he's stumbling over his words. Like his thoughts are coming out faster than he can form words.
	5:38pm Carmichael: I was impressed by his HBO special on the history of the world, which he wrote himself. He was slower paced, I think. Very Izzard-like in his observations, but without the heels.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dave the Spazz uses HAL (being a 'Dave', as am I) - which might be where it started - & I was Commenting Ligeti (?:I will learn to spell that!) @ Bryce's today, yeah...He played Mr. Morse & I made the comparison (out loud).
	5:40pm Cecile: Carm, I'll have to check it out.
	5:40pm Caryn: Colin Quinn and Norm McDonald are the two comedians other comedians compliment but I just don't care for, apart for the very occasional joke or performance. Occasional moments of genius and hilarity, and then 80-95 % nothing.
	5:42pm Cecile: Petra Haden kinda wears thin after a while.
	5:43pm Carmichael: You're right, Caryn. Their humor is very wry and dry, in my opinion. Although they make me laugh, I don't spit out my drink. I just smile.
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Now only 'Cecile' shows up in bright red...?... - Writer & Performer (& Improviser) are deffo. dif. skills. - They nagged Milton Berle (anachronism) for just being a (memorized) joke encyclopedia but they say he always smoked challengers.
	5:44pm Cecile: You know who I miss? Patrice O' Neal.
	5:45pm Cecile: Norm McDonald is funny in interviews, but I never got his standup.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah: Petra an example?: Only covers?
	5:46pm G: Translation: Dear SoundExchange, Y'ALL ARE A WORLDCLASS PAIN IN THE BACKSIDE. I HOPE YOU'RE REALLY PROUD OF YOURSELVES. HAVE A BLESSED DAY, BITCHES. :)
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whereas Robyn Hitchcock the mad writer. Imagine being locked inna room w/ him & Izzard???
	5:47pm Kurt Gottschalk: naw, not so much. they do really pay artists. i'm just annoyed that i couldn't find info on that track (which i like quite a bit, mind you).
	5:49pm Cecile: that would be too much of a good thing, rabbit.
	5:50pm Green Mountain Man Mark: Thanks for the show, Kurt. Today is the first day I got out my flip flops to wear, and some shorts. I gain about 20 lbs every winter and I really notice it this time of year when I put shorts on for the first time since last year. By the end of summer I am about normal weight, then fall comes and I turn into a bear.
	5:50pm G: my bad. not kurt's. though "not so much" is not a ringing denial :)
	5:51pm northguineahills: Super fun show Kurt, Have a great weekend everyone!
	5:52pm Kurt Gottschalk: no harm no foul, g. i neither love nor hate soundexchange.
	5:53pm Caryn: An Izzard/Hitchcock double would be crazy. The closest I ever got was a night at a bar with Terry Pratchett and Robert Rankin. One is nutty enough on his own, but both at the same time? Fun times.
	5:54pm G: Royalty documentation is fun, though, and that we can all agree on. I know someone who did clerical work for ASCAP a few years back....
	5:54pm emmagineering: DJKG! FURSAXA! wish i could be listening right now. playlist looks good? :)
	5:54pm Carmichael: @RRN63: When you click on a commentor's profile, the name changes color. That's probably why you are seeing a particular name and not the others. It IS a font color issue; it happens to me on some FMU pages and not others.
	5:54pm Cecile: that sounds amazing, Caryn. And poor Terry...
	5:54pm glenn: two words, caryn: john otway.
	5:55pm Carmichael: Thanks for the great show, Kurt! And for quoting my idiot DJ -isms. :-)
	5:55pm emmagineering: non-sequitir: i like how wfmu would never ask you to carry a one on the math question.
	5:57pm Green Mountain Man Mark: you still have like 4 minutes
	5:57pm Caryn: @glenn: ooh...
	5:57pm G: different DJs have different bespoke color schemes. on kurt's show, already visited profile links are dark blue on the black background. after week one i saw the blue lettering pretty easily. and the avatar is plenty anyhow, if you've seen it a lot...
	5:59pm Carmichael: Unless you cahnge your avatar daily, like I do.
