	9:18pm upstatesean: love it
	9:19pm Dave Mandl: Welcome, U.S. And thanks.
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: G'devenin'
	9:32pm Dave Mandl: Hey, Unc.
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: This singer sounds a bit like John Stewart.
	9:35pm Dave Mandl: Which John Stewart?
	9:36pm Uncle Michael: Kingston Trio...author of Daydream Believer...later singer songwriter...had the hit "Gold"
	9:37pm Dave Mandl: Ah, right.
	9:38pm Uncle Michael: I never tire of Lee Hazlewood.
	9:52pm Evan47: maybe she thought you were cute
	9:53pm G: Radio Revenge segment :)
	9:55pm Uncle Michael: j'accuse!
	9:55pm Evan47: lol i take back my previous comment... she might have just been a crazy person in sheeps clothing
	9:55pm Richard from Venezuela: Greetings Dave and all the listeners
	9:55pm G: "obvious whack job" -- I ride the 2 through Atlantic Avenue multiple times a week :) I would have never made eye contact with her, but I'm pretty cautious with train riders who do not act friendly :-)
	9:56pm Evan47: hey richard from venezuela
	9:57pm ottovonbqe: She could be a listener.
	9:57pm Uncle Michael: Thank you for reminding me why I left urban living for lower lunatic population density.
	9:57pm Dave Mandl: Hey Evan, Richard, Otto.
	9:58pm Dave Mandl: I never ever engage with crazy people on the subway. I can spot trouble a mile away.
	9:59pm G: crazy angry person whose entire life is creating meaningless drama. my ex wife's mom used to claim men were always following her. trust me, they WEREN'T. she used to tell crazy stories about riding the subway, totally impossible stories about that the government had gotten Columbia to hire her to carry nuclear weapons on the subway for government tests etc etc etc you ran into the doppelganger of my ex-mother-in-law
	9:59pm Droll: [quick kitchen-lurking break] Anyway, I finally unbuttoned my shirt, and said, "look, look, I'm in this band, you know, I'm in this band you know, and we're makin' a recording, you know. It's about New York City, it's about crime in the streets. "The explanation was going nowhere, but, Finally, they just kinda let me go, I don't know why. So I walk around the corner, and I'm like shakin' like a leaf, and I thought, "This is a dangerous place" Who should appear, but two policeman.
	9:59pm earrie: A form of objectification? It doesn't sound like it had anything at all to do with you.
	9:59pm Uncle Michael: You used to be able to do. Time to join me in Kansas.
	10:00pm Dave Mandl: This was strange because she seemed completely normal. She was kind of smirking and rolling her eyes as if I was some subway nut. I'd done absolutely nothing.
	10:00pm G: OMFG Droll, what a power of association!!!!
	10:00pm Dave Mandl: Droll: Adrian Belew!
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: Cool Adrian Belew story, bro.
	10:01pm Dave Mandl: G: Congratulations on your divorce.
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: I gotta hear Thela Hun Ginjeet...
	10:04pm earrie: Thinking, too -- asking a question is engaging -'what's your problem?'. Directives are better. "Please leave me alone."
	10:04pm G: Re divorce: We all have our weirdnesses and hard-to-live-with-nesses. I bear no grudges, and am still friends with my ex (dogsat for her for a week last month); ex-mom-in-law died in 2010. -- The issue with the divorce was not the mother in law, but not being loved. Not a tale for here and now. :)
	10:04pm Richard from Venezuela: I really like this album of a metal heavy jazz kind of thing. Available on Free Music Archive. Resistencia Chaco: goo.gl...
	10:06pm Dave Mandl: @earrie: I wouldn't say anything to a subway nut. They can push me very far and I won't react. This was somehow different.
	10:09pm G: She gotcha, man. She probably does something like that several times a week, and is very good at getting around even our long-ingrained NYC subway-riding strategies and methods. -- Even the acting-normal part: Think how much effort she must have to put into that. :-)
	10:10pm G: The 3 and 4 are weirder than the 2 and 5, all in all :)
	10:12pm G: There's often a pair of cops on the Atlantic Ave 2 platform. What odds you give she knew they'd be there and had it all planned? Yeah, I can't tell you for sure, but hey...
	10:12pm Dave Mandl: It was convincing. I was checking myself in the window to see if there was anything wrong, like I had toothpaste on my nose or something. (I didn't.)
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: You don't sound that nuts to me, Dave....for what it's worth.
	10:14pm Dave Mandl: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
	10:14pm G: You wuz set up, dude. -- Doing that to people who look like they have it together is a major sense of power and control in her otherwise semi-pointless life :)
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: Kenzo has changed the handling of icons in the last two days. We're all perfectly square now.
	10:16pm G: Square pegs in round holes. Gotta call Cali. BBL...
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Call me crazy...but I preferred it the other way.
	10:19pm Dave Mandl: Very perceptive. I didn't notice that.
	10:20pm earrie: Hope you shook/shake/shooka the shaken quickly, Dave.
	10:21pm Dave Mandl: Yeah, thanks. Maybe I'm too nice. I was worried that I'd done something. But it's impossible.
	10:22pm Richard from Venezuela: This piano piece sounds mesmerizing
	10:24pm sean: Nice sounds. Thanks Dave.
	10:25pm fearson: this is so beautiful
	10:25pm fearson: like are we mermaids frolicking under the sea right now with its creatures
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: I can do my thing under water.
	10:28pm G: H. R. Pufnstuf ≠ Sponge Bob Squarepants
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: I know but I'm pretty tight with P-Funk.
	10:31pm G: I sit corrected :)
	10:34pm Evan47: Dungen is sweet...seen them play a few years ago in NYC... check them out if you are not aware of them,
	10:35pm Evan47: www.youtube.com...
	10:37pm Dave Mandl: @Evan: Never seen them, but I'm a fan. I hope they come to NYC again soon.
	10:37pm Dave Mandl: Sean, Fearson: Thanks.
	10:41pm Richard from Venezuela: Wire are masters.
	10:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Noticed the squaring-off of icons immeadiately - as most of mine are not square. Prob. inevitable - simpler for 'em. Tidy little metaphor!...I was self-conscious my Rabbit one was bigger than most anyway... Another DJ played Lee Hazlewood 'It's an Actuality' this morning: Made me think of Tom Lerher...
	10:47pm Mutant: My favorite are the Towner/Peacock duos.
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom 'Lehrer'...not getting better @ spelling...
	10:50pm cklequ: This squaring of the avatars has cut the top of my head off.
	10:50pm Dave Mandl: I love those '70s ECM records. Lots of good Towner and Abercrombie stuff, together and separate.
	10:50pm cklequ: ...Makes me feel like a real "L 7"
	10:50pm Carmichael: Lee Hazlewood = Tom Lehrer ... oddly congruous.
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...eh - squaring actually improves a few of my icons - while @ least one goes back to the image program for work...
	10:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My grandmother used to cut our heads off in every photo. Blame her.
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: WFMU and all of it's enforced conformity...
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: Serial Grandma.
	10:52pm Mutant: Yeah, I buy almost every ECM record I can find, unless there is too much Jan Garbarek on it.
	10:53pm G: @cklequ: that's gotta hurt.
	10:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (Has a non-square avatar; I might have to letterbox mine, fight the pan & scan...)
	10:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sounds like she'd've been usefull on the subway...
	10:53pm Dave Mandl: Blame Instagram.
	10:55pm G: I always blame Instagram, when I'm not blaming Facebook. I've dropped MySpace and LiveJournal from the "default blame list". No point any more :)
	10:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What - Kenzo doesn't know why we're Square - ?! ...It's thru Amazon or something - ??...
	10:55pm G: Oh, and Twitter. Definitely still on the list...
	10:57pm G: Mauuice Mandelbaum. Big intellectual historian in the mid 20th century. "almond tree"
	10:59pm Carmichael: I loved that century.
	10:59pm Droll: The Lubomyr Melnyk was amazing -- I thought it was two pianists. I didn't notice the change to icons. I'm so often confounded by the lack of WYSIWYG software I hardly notice. I blame defective bloatware. The two central fallacies of computing are: 1. Any problem with software can be remedied with more software 2. Testing is not way to inspect-in quality. Testing proves the presence of bugs, not their absence.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: Kenzo didn't say he didn't know. He knows. He's just in the same boat.
	11:00pm I X Key!: !
	11:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hmph on the bloatware
	11:02pm Uncle Michael: The only reason I can imagine for max height and width is if there might be a grid display of some sort. Otherwise, this design really only requires max height or width.
	11:04pm Carmichael: My next band will be called Grid Display.
	11:05pm Uncle Michael: What was your last band called?
	11:05pm Carmichael: Buckets of God.
	11:05pm cklequ: I may be an 'L 7', but not so much that i can't reclaim my head.
	11:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): One day a month we can have vertical-only avatar day
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: I'm calling my band Head Reclamation.
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheri Pi mentioned - 'Mystery Spots' - some Tourism thing - & I thot : - Great band name - !!!
	11:08pm cklequ: How about Vertical Head Reclamation?
	11:08pm Dave Mandl: My photo was already square. Thanks, Instagram.
	11:09pm G: Is Square Avatars a band name yet?
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they're getting better, folx...
	11:10pm Droll: Kenzo, Don't get me wrong, I very well understand the allure of the tools that let you whip together a solution to the Trifecta Pseudo-Problem in a few hours... But you can't live on candy alone, you get fat.
	11:10pm G: Code wars :)
	11:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bonzotime!
	11:10pm Uncle Michael: Kenzo, if we letterbox, are transparent .png files supported so the background will fill the void?
	11:12pm G: Listeners, this is the audience-favorite "Stump the Developer" segment of your comments program
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marc Bolan speaks for the 2%...
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: Rev. You missed the CCR.
	11:13pm G: T Rex + CCR = 2
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mandl's a Headbanger. We can't be fooled.
	11:14pm Uncle Michael: so we get 100? sweet!
	11:14pm earrie: What? Horizontal and vertical panoramas ?
	11:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @UM: I was wondering the same thing. I haven't seen a single transparent image posted yet.
	11:15pm Dave Mandl: @RR: That's actually true. At home I mostly listen to Deep Purple and Mountain.
	11:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Droll: Candy holds no allure for me.
	11:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you can tell the transparent ones from their sunglasses & the bandages around their heads...
	11:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh, you mean Joe Belock's avatar?
	11:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Joe: wfmu.org...
	11:17pm Uncle Michael: I know animated .gifs aren't supported.
	11:17pm 12539: Mine is transparent.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Precisely Kenzo. ...You see thru to the burger behind it...I'm confused...
	11:18pm Dave Mandl: Is there something we can do about the people who call animated GIFs just "GIFs"?
	11:19pm Uncle Michael: We could put them in camps.
	11:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Do they say it like Jiff or Gift?
	11:20pm cklequ: Camps sound fun!
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Dave - Ken is Station Manager. Tread carefully...
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anigifs.
	11:23pm Uncle Michael: I put up a squared png. Hasn't updated yet.
	11:23pm G: "anigifs" sounds kinda anal
	11:24pm Dave Mandl: Jiff.
	11:24pm Uncle Michael: transparency is a bust
	11:25pm fleep: This is eerie, it sounds like those recordings of number stations.
	11:25pm I X Key!: Hif or Zhiff
	11:25pm Dave Mandl: We're always in favor of transparency here at FMU.
	11:26pm Uncle Michael: Choosy mothers choose png.
	11:26pm Dave Mandl: I worked for a company where you heard the word "transparency" like 20 times a day. Drove me crazy.
	11:26pm Dave Mandl: Not in the graphic sense.
	11:27pm fleep: My avatar isn't transparent, but it is wet.
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: kinetogif. sequigif. temperogif. ...no no & no.
	11:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Nope, the resize doesn't preserve the transparency. On my list.
	11:27pm Uncle Michael: I have hours and hours of numbers station recordings. I do not know why.
	11:27pm I X Key!: ! This show is so brilliant to listen to, thanks DM (o:
	11:27pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Kenzo.
	11:28pm Dave Mandl: @IXK: Thanks very much.
	11:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ooh, numbers stations. On my list for my next show.
	11:29pm cklequ: I have hours of numbers stations too. If it helps at all, i did know why at some point.
	11:29pm Droll: I could listen to hours of numbers stations, but even that's all computer-voices now and doesn't have the funk of Eastern European people reading them endlessly. Still, it's worth listening to just for sort-wave multipath noise.
	11:30pm Dave Mandl: I own a copy of the Conet Project set. Not something I listen to often, I must admit.
	11:30pm Dave Mandl: i should try it.
	11:30pm Uncle Michael: That's what I've got too, Dave.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had to Google 'numbers stations'. No idea. - &: Flat out Creepiest thing I've become aware of in a while...
	11:33pm Ike: In the TV series The Americans, on FX, set in the 80s, the Soviet spies posing as Americans sometimes listen to numbers stations for orders.
	11:33pm Uncle Michael: google conet project. it's all easily found for listening
	11:34pm Dave Mandl: RR: Strange phenomenon. It's pretty fascinating when you first read about it.
	11:34pm cklequ: @ RR63 archive.org...
	11:35pm Uncle Michael: I used to hear the tone and beep numbers stations when I'd be up at night DX'ing as a kid. Never heard any spoken ones.
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One Google result : ...'Like any good student of the internet, you know what numbers stations are. They' re part of the unexplained oddity canon, the "mystery spots" on the vast trunk of' ... - So okay - 'Mystery Spots' is definitely my bandname now...
	11:36pm fleep: Or a disease to be named later.
	11:36pm G: le hiphop
	11:37pm Ike: RRN63, the Conet Project box set of numbers stations recordings was a big WFMU hit in 1997-98. Seems like almost every DJ played some of it.
	11:37pm Dave Mandl: Ouai.
	11:38pm Uncle Michael: Well, at least now I'm master of my own crop.
	11:39pm fleep: Cicadas on espresso.
	11:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes fleep - makes it 'Punk'. Brits call acne 'spots' - & it recalls AIDS - no laughing matter, of course - maybe we're a solemn band...
	11:41pm G: The Ghost of Marc Bolan thanks you
	11:43pm Uncle Michael: 3%
	11:43pm Dave Mandl: Oops.
	11:44pm Dave Mandl: I would argue that Jack Casady's bass makes this not-rock-and-roll.
	11:44pm Dave Mandl: And this part is in 7.
	11:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Airplane is some of the earliest stuff I was exposed to in my life (sibling).
	11:45pm Dave Mandl: Ditto. Listen to the bass chord coming up.
	11:46pm Dave Mandl: Beautiful.
	11:46pm cklequ: Me too RR (not sibling). And i always sort of considered it not-rock-and-roll
	11:47pm Uncle Michael: I consider lots of things not-in-4 to be R&R.
	11:48pm Dave Mandl: U.M.: True.
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jimi loved Jack C. ... - This is Rock, not Rock'n'Roll. - The shift to Electric BassGuitar from Standup Violin Bass was a big thing...You can hear the dif. in vibe immeadiately in Eddie Cochran tunes w/ one or the other...
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Why does the Swedish Rhapsody Numbers Station use a small girls voice?'... - That's just too Stephen King - ! - or somebody better/worse...
	11:54pm brycepunk: This Laddio Bolocko track might be the best new thing I have heard in months! Holy shit this is good!
	11:54pm Uncle Michael: Is that a rhetorical question?
	11:54pm RUBY: put it in the wheelbarrow and wheel it this way. late again. flipped on the network and powered up the 28 dollar speakers.
	11:55pm RUBY: thank you mr mandl
	11:55pm Uncle Michael: We've got 50,000 watts in a big acoustic tower.
	11:55pm 12539: Thanks for the show, Dave. And don't do anything weird on the train home.
	11:55pm Andrew Waterloo: I discovered Laddio Bolocko through those "What's in my bag" things on Youtube
	11:56pm Uncle Michael: This has been a damned fine show, Dave. Thank you.
	11:56pm brycepunk: is this being mixed right now or is this one track?
	11:57pm Uncle Michael: Who's bag was this in, Andrew?
	11:57pm Carmichael: its 11:56.
	11:57pm Droll: DM, Thanks for having us over. See you next week!
	11:58pm fleep: Thanks, Dave.
	11:58pm brycepunk: that might be the best bit of music I've heard since ... wow. I feel like I just got laid.
	11:58pm Dave Mandl: Thanks, folks, I appreciate it. You've been great. Have a wonderful week.
	12:01am Andrew Waterloo: @Uncle Michael, JG Thirlwel
	12:01am Carmichael: From one leslie west fan to another. great show!
	12:01am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): David on the 12:20 without fail
	12:02am earrie: Great listening. Thanks, Dave.
	12:02am Dave Mandl: 12:18

	9:55pm Evan47: lol i take back my previous comment... she might have just been a crazy person in sheeps clothing
	9:55pm Richard from Venezuela: Greetings Dave and all the listeners
	9:55pm G: "obvious whack job" -- I ride the 2 through Atlantic Avenue multiple times a week :) I would have never made eye contact with her, but I'm pretty cautious with train riders who do not act friendly :-)

	9:58pm Dave Mandl: I never ever engage with crazy people on the subway. I can spot trouble a mile away.
	9:59pm G: crazy angry person whose entire life is creating meaningless drama. my ex wife's mom used to claim men were always following her. trust me, they WEREN'T. she used to tell crazy stories about riding the subway, totally impossible stories about that the government had gotten Columbia to hire her to carry nuclear weapons on the subway for government tests etc etc etc you ran into the doppelganger of my ex-mother-in-law
	9:59pm Droll: [quick kitchen-lurking break] Anyway, I finally unbuttoned my shirt, and said, "look, look, I'm in this band, you know, I'm in this band you know, and we're makin' a recording, you know. It's about New York City, it's about crime in the streets. "The explanation was going nowhere, but, Finally, they just kinda let me go, I don't know why. So I walk around the corner, and I'm like shakin' like a leaf, and I thought, "This is a dangerous place" Who should appear, but two policeman.
	9:59pm earrie: A form of objectification? It doesn't sound like it had anything at all to do with you.
	9:59pm Uncle Michael: You used to be able to do. Time to join me in Kansas.
	10:00pm Dave Mandl: This was strange because she seemed completely normal. She was kind of smirking and rolling her eyes as if I was some subway nut. I'd done absolutely nothing.
	10:00pm G: OMFG Droll, what a power of association!!!!
	10:00pm Dave Mandl: Droll: Adrian Belew!
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: Cool Adrian Belew story, bro.
	10:01pm Dave Mandl: G: Congratulations on your divorce.
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: I gotta hear Thela Hun Ginjeet...
	10:04pm earrie: Thinking, too -- asking a question is engaging -'what's your problem?'. Directives are better. "Please leave me alone."
	10:04pm G: Re divorce: We all have our weirdnesses and hard-to-live-with-nesses. I bear no grudges, and am still friends with my ex (dogsat for her for a week last month); ex-mom-in-law died in 2010. -- The issue with the divorce was not the mother in law, but not being loved. Not a tale for here and now. :)
	10:04pm Richard from Venezuela: I really like this album of a metal heavy jazz kind of thing. Available on Free Music Archive. Resistencia Chaco: goo.gl...
	10:06pm Dave Mandl: @earrie: I wouldn't say anything to a subway nut. They can push me very far and I won't react. This was somehow different.
	10:09pm G: She gotcha, man. She probably does something like that several times a week, and is very good at getting around even our long-ingrained NYC subway-riding strategies and methods. -- Even the acting-normal part: Think how much effort she must have to put into that. :-)
	10:10pm G: The 3 and 4 are weirder than the 2 and 5, all in all :)
	10:12pm G: There's often a pair of cops on the Atlantic Ave 2 platform. What odds you give she knew they'd be there and had it all planned? Yeah, I can't tell you for sure, but hey...
	10:12pm Dave Mandl: It was convincing. I was checking myself in the window to see if there was anything wrong, like I had toothpaste on my nose or something. (I didn't.)
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: You don't sound that nuts to me, Dave....for what it's worth.
	10:14pm Dave Mandl: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
	10:14pm G: You wuz set up, dude. -- Doing that to people who look like they have it together is a major sense of power and control in her otherwise semi-pointless life :)
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: Kenzo has changed the handling of icons in the last two days. We're all perfectly square now.
	10:16pm G: Square pegs in round holes. Gotta call Cali. BBL...
	10:17pm Uncle Michael: Call me crazy...but I preferred it the other way.
	10:19pm Dave Mandl: Very perceptive. I didn't notice that.
	10:20pm earrie: Hope you shook/shake/shooka the shaken quickly, Dave.
	10:21pm Dave Mandl: Yeah, thanks. Maybe I'm too nice. I was worried that I'd done something. But it's impossible.
	10:22pm Richard from Venezuela: This piano piece sounds mesmerizing
	10:24pm sean: Nice sounds. Thanks Dave.
	10:25pm fearson: this is so beautiful
	10:25pm fearson: like are we mermaids frolicking under the sea right now with its creatures
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: I can do my thing under water.
	10:28pm G: H. R. Pufnstuf ≠ Sponge Bob Squarepants
	10:30pm Uncle Michael: I know but I'm pretty tight with P-Funk.
	10:31pm G: I sit corrected :)
	10:34pm Evan47: Dungen is sweet...seen them play a few years ago in NYC... check them out if you are not aware of them,
	10:35pm Evan47: www.youtube.com...
	10:37pm Dave Mandl: @Evan: Never seen them, but I'm a fan. I hope they come to NYC again soon.
	10:37pm Dave Mandl: Sean, Fearson: Thanks.
	10:41pm Richard from Venezuela: Wire are masters.
	10:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Noticed the squaring-off of icons immeadiately - as most of mine are not square. Prob. inevitable - simpler for 'em. Tidy little metaphor!...I was self-conscious my Rabbit one was bigger than most anyway... Another DJ played Lee Hazlewood 'It's an Actuality' this morning: Made me think of Tom Lerher...
	10:47pm Mutant: My favorite are the Towner/Peacock duos.
	10:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tom 'Lehrer'...not getting better @ spelling...
	10:50pm cklequ: This squaring of the avatars has cut the top of my head off.
	10:50pm Dave Mandl: I love those '70s ECM records. Lots of good Towner and Abercrombie stuff, together and separate.
	10:50pm cklequ: ...Makes me feel like a real "L 7"
	10:50pm Carmichael: Lee Hazlewood = Tom Lehrer ... oddly congruous.
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...eh - squaring actually improves a few of my icons - while @ least one goes back to the image program for work...
	10:51pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): My grandmother used to cut our heads off in every photo. Blame her.
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: WFMU and all of it's enforced conformity...
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: Serial Grandma.
	10:52pm Mutant: Yeah, I buy almost every ECM record I can find, unless there is too much Jan Garbarek on it.
	10:53pm G: @cklequ: that's gotta hurt.
	10:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (Has a non-square avatar; I might have to letterbox mine, fight the pan & scan...)
	10:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sounds like she'd've been usefull on the subway...
	10:53pm Dave Mandl: Blame Instagram.
	10:55pm G: I always blame Instagram, when I'm not blaming Facebook. I've dropped MySpace and LiveJournal from the "default blame list". No point any more :)
	10:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What - Kenzo doesn't know why we're Square - ?! ...It's thru Amazon or something - ??...
	10:55pm G: Oh, and Twitter. Definitely still on the list...
	10:57pm G: Mauuice Mandelbaum. Big intellectual historian in the mid 20th century. "almond tree"
	10:59pm Carmichael: I loved that century.
	10:59pm Droll: The Lubomyr Melnyk was amazing -- I thought it was two pianists. I didn't notice the change to icons. I'm so often confounded by the lack of WYSIWYG software I hardly notice. I blame defective bloatware. The two central fallacies of computing are: 1. Any problem with software can be remedied with more software 2. Testing is not way to inspect-in quality. Testing proves the presence of bugs, not their absence.
	10:59pm Uncle Michael: Kenzo didn't say he didn't know. He knows. He's just in the same boat.
	11:00pm I X Key!: !
	11:01pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hmph on the bloatware
	11:02pm Uncle Michael: The only reason I can imagine for max height and width is if there might be a grid display of some sort. Otherwise, this design really only requires max height or width.
	11:04pm Carmichael: My next band will be called Grid Display.
	11:05pm Uncle Michael: What was your last band called?
	11:05pm Carmichael: Buckets of God.
	11:05pm cklequ: I may be an 'L 7', but not so much that i can't reclaim my head.
	11:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): One day a month we can have vertical-only avatar day
	11:07pm Uncle Michael: I'm calling my band Head Reclamation.
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheri Pi mentioned - 'Mystery Spots' - some Tourism thing - & I thot : - Great band name - !!!
	11:08pm cklequ: How about Vertical Head Reclamation?
	11:08pm Dave Mandl: My photo was already square. Thanks, Instagram.
	11:09pm G: Is Square Avatars a band name yet?
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they're getting better, folx...
	11:10pm Droll: Kenzo, Don't get me wrong, I very well understand the allure of the tools that let you whip together a solution to the Trifecta Pseudo-Problem in a few hours... But you can't live on candy alone, you get fat.
	11:10pm G: Code wars :)
	11:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bonzotime!
	11:10pm Uncle Michael: Kenzo, if we letterbox, are transparent .png files supported so the background will fill the void?
	11:12pm G: Listeners, this is the audience-favorite "Stump the Developer" segment of your comments program
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marc Bolan speaks for the 2%...
	11:13pm Uncle Michael: Rev. You missed the CCR.
	11:13pm G: T Rex + CCR = 2
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mandl's a Headbanger. We can't be fooled.
	11:14pm Uncle Michael: so we get 100? sweet!
	11:14pm earrie: What? Horizontal and vertical panoramas ?
	11:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @UM: I was wondering the same thing. I haven't seen a single transparent image posted yet.
	11:15pm Dave Mandl: @RR: That's actually true. At home I mostly listen to Deep Purple and Mountain.
	11:15pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Droll: Candy holds no allure for me.
	11:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you can tell the transparent ones from their sunglasses & the bandages around their heads...
	11:16pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh, you mean Joe Belock's avatar?
	11:17pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Joe: wfmu.org...
	11:17pm Uncle Michael: I know animated .gifs aren't supported.
	11:17pm 12539: Mine is transparent.
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Precisely Kenzo. ...You see thru to the burger behind it...I'm confused...
	11:18pm Dave Mandl: Is there something we can do about the people who call animated GIFs just "GIFs"?
	11:19pm Uncle Michael: We could put them in camps.
	11:19pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Do they say it like Jiff or Gift?
	11:20pm cklequ: Camps sound fun!
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh Dave - Ken is Station Manager. Tread carefully...
	11:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anigifs.
	11:23pm Uncle Michael: I put up a squared png. Hasn't updated yet.
	11:23pm G: "anigifs" sounds kinda anal
	11:24pm Dave Mandl: Jiff.
	11:24pm Uncle Michael: transparency is a bust
	11:25pm fleep: This is eerie, it sounds like those recordings of number stations.
	11:25pm I X Key!: Hif or Zhiff
	11:25pm Dave Mandl: We're always in favor of transparency here at FMU.
	11:26pm Uncle Michael: Choosy mothers choose png.
	11:26pm Dave Mandl: I worked for a company where you heard the word "transparency" like 20 times a day. Drove me crazy.
	11:26pm Dave Mandl: Not in the graphic sense.
	11:27pm fleep: My avatar isn't transparent, but it is wet.
	11:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: kinetogif. sequigif. temperogif. ...no no & no.
	11:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Nope, the resize doesn't preserve the transparency. On my list.
	11:27pm Uncle Michael: I have hours and hours of numbers station recordings. I do not know why.
	11:27pm I X Key!: ! This show is so brilliant to listen to, thanks DM (o:
	11:27pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Kenzo.
	11:28pm Dave Mandl: @IXK: Thanks very much.
	11:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ooh, numbers stations. On my list for my next show.
	11:29pm cklequ: I have hours of numbers stations too. If it helps at all, i did know why at some point.
	11:29pm Droll: I could listen to hours of numbers stations, but even that's all computer-voices now and doesn't have the funk of Eastern European people reading them endlessly. Still, it's worth listening to just for sort-wave multipath noise.
	11:30pm Dave Mandl: I own a copy of the Conet Project set. Not something I listen to often, I must admit.
	11:30pm Dave Mandl: i should try it.
	11:30pm Uncle Michael: That's what I've got too, Dave.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had to Google 'numbers stations'. No idea. - &: Flat out Creepiest thing I've become aware of in a while...
	11:33pm Ike: In the TV series The Americans, on FX, set in the 80s, the Soviet spies posing as Americans sometimes listen to numbers stations for orders.
	11:33pm Uncle Michael: google conet project. it's all easily found for listening
	11:34pm Dave Mandl: RR: Strange phenomenon. It's pretty fascinating when you first read about it.
	11:34pm cklequ: @ RR63 archive.org...
	11:35pm Uncle Michael: I used to hear the tone and beep numbers stations when I'd be up at night DX'ing as a kid. Never heard any spoken ones.
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One Google result : ...'Like any good student of the internet, you know what numbers stations are. They' re part of the unexplained oddity canon, the "mystery spots" on the vast trunk of' ... - So okay - 'Mystery Spots' is definitely my bandname now...
	11:36pm fleep: Or a disease to be named later.
	11:36pm G: le hiphop
	11:37pm Ike: RRN63, the Conet Project box set of numbers stations recordings was a big WFMU hit in 1997-98. Seems like almost every DJ played some of it.
	11:37pm Dave Mandl: Ouai.
	11:38pm Uncle Michael: Well, at least now I'm master of my own crop.
	11:39pm fleep: Cicadas on espresso.
	11:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes fleep - makes it 'Punk'. Brits call acne 'spots' - & it recalls AIDS - no laughing matter, of course - maybe we're a solemn band...
	11:41pm G: The Ghost of Marc Bolan thanks you
	11:43pm Uncle Michael: 3%
	11:43pm Dave Mandl: Oops.
	11:44pm Dave Mandl: I would argue that Jack Casady's bass makes this not-rock-and-roll.
	11:44pm Dave Mandl: And this part is in 7.
	11:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Airplane is some of the earliest stuff I was exposed to in my life (sibling).
	11:45pm Dave Mandl: Ditto. Listen to the bass chord coming up.
	11:46pm Dave Mandl: Beautiful.
	11:46pm cklequ: Me too RR (not sibling). And i always sort of considered it not-rock-and-roll
	11:47pm Uncle Michael: I consider lots of things not-in-4 to be R&R.
	11:48pm Dave Mandl: U.M.: True.
	11:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jimi loved Jack C. ... - This is Rock, not Rock'n'Roll. - The shift to Electric BassGuitar from Standup Violin Bass was a big thing...You can hear the dif. in vibe immeadiately in Eddie Cochran tunes w/ one or the other...
	11:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Why does the Swedish Rhapsody Numbers Station use a small girls voice?'... - That's just too Stephen King - ! - or somebody better/worse...
	11:54pm brycepunk: This Laddio Bolocko track might be the best new thing I have heard in months! Holy shit this is good!
	11:54pm Uncle Michael: Is that a rhetorical question?
	11:54pm RUBY: put it in the wheelbarrow and wheel it this way. late again. flipped on the network and powered up the 28 dollar speakers.
	11:55pm RUBY: thank you mr mandl
	11:55pm Uncle Michael: We've got 50,000 watts in a big acoustic tower.
	11:55pm 12539: Thanks for the show, Dave. And don't do anything weird on the train home.
	11:55pm Andrew Waterloo: I discovered Laddio Bolocko through those "What's in my bag" things on Youtube
	11:56pm Uncle Michael: This has been a damned fine show, Dave. Thank you.
	11:56pm brycepunk: is this being mixed right now or is this one track?
	11:57pm Uncle Michael: Who's bag was this in, Andrew?
	11:57pm Carmichael: its 11:56.
	11:57pm Droll: DM, Thanks for having us over. See you next week!
	11:58pm fleep: Thanks, Dave.
	11:58pm brycepunk: that might be the best bit of music I've heard since ... wow. I feel like I just got laid.
	11:58pm Dave Mandl: Thanks, folks, I appreciate it. You've been great. Have a wonderful week.
	12:01am Andrew Waterloo: @Uncle Michael, JG Thirlwel
	12:01am Carmichael: From one leslie west fan to another. great show!
	12:01am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): David on the 12:20 without fail
	12:02am earrie: Great listening. Thanks, Dave.
	12:02am Dave Mandl: 12:18
