	7:05pm oogoo: poisons the well with beauty, the Gaylord...
	7:05pm Reeshard: To judge from her wardrobe, I'd say the gal in the gif is a moll, not a mom. All the same, a tad rough, given the nature of the day and all.
	7:06pm fleep: Maybe she's a moll mom. Howdy, Monica!
	7:06pm Starwick: Love the lamps, the wallpaper, the furniture . . .
	7:07pm texas scott: hi monica. my earholes are trembling with anticipation!
	7:08pm deanland: Is the lower image the replacement after the rough treatment of the woman above (moll or no moll)?

	7:15pm Catsilk: Happy Mother's Day, all! Nice tunes to relax to after my ever-so-indulgent mothering dinner. Feet up and dishes being done by another. You were smashing last week, M! Don't get us wrong!
	7:15pm Matt F: Tuned in exactly at the first notes of Stardust. God I love this show.
	7:15pm anne: Hey Monica! Now we's gonna move from Chicago back to NYC this fall!

	7:21pm flashback: hello monica and all the listeners.
	7:22pm Dave E: Where's the picture? I see a line but that's all.
	7:23pm Monica: hello to you, flashback...
	7:23pm CB1: Yo Mo! Streaming problem but we made it! There is a rainbow over the Delaware River and your are on the airways . . life is good.
	7:24pm lynchnet: great show Monica!
	7:25pm Monica: CB1 and lynchnet - yay! youse made it!
	7:25pm texas scott: i adore Hinky Dinky Time. hiya,uncle mike.
	7:25pm sugarwolf: hiiiii everyone
	7:27pm 12539: I came, I heard, I reluctantly had to leave early...see you in the archives, Monica.
	7:27pm CB1: By the way - the lower image is beyond beyond
	7:28pm texas scott: above and beyond the valley of the dolls
	7:29pm fleep: BTW nice updates to the home page, if you're there, Kenzo.
	7:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 2nd that fleep - I onna Mac now & can see gifs here...will make up mind if that's an improvement...
	7:32pm Reeshard: Could the lower image resemble to Warhol's BJ film, in that something - best left to the imagination - is happening below the frame? As Quasimodo used to say, just my hunch.
	7:32pm CB1: How the heck did she keep her wig on for that shot?
	7:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if Caryn were here, perhaps she could confirm if bottom image is from Antonioni's 'Blow Up' or not?...sorry...
	7:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I wonder if Zappa got a lotta cards on Mother's Day...
	7:39pm Dave E: Where are the pictures?
	7:40pm Dave E: Oh well, the music is quite fine tonight Ms. Monica
	7:40pm emily: My mother would say, whenever really angry, "So help me Hannah!" I don't know why but I often think of it.
	7:41pm the glowing one: wow, sounds like hand farting!
	7:41pm cavorting with nudists: When I or one of my brothers would say "Mom, I'm bored," she had this thing she would always say: "Why don't you go do something nice for somebody else?" She really knew how to make us regret saying anything in the first place.
	7:41pm Sem Chumbo: "Where are the new scissors?", asked about the scissors she purchased twelve years previously.
	7:41pm listener james from westwood: my mother was a big fan of "jesus, mary, and joseph!" also of "shit, piss, and corruption!" but HER mother used to tell people who exasperated her, "go shit in your hat and punch it!" (wish i had some fcc-friendly examples, but mom's was the "deadwood" side of the family.)
	7:41pm doca: hello monica, loving the hand farts over here.
	7:42pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @fleep: Thanks! More love for all our sundry streams. wfmu.org
	7:42pm uuee: Hi Monica, "That music is the devil's music"
	7:42pm Dave E: My mother used to tell me when I was impatient "Patience is a virgin". I use this phrase all the time . . . of course these days I get odd looks.
	7:43pm texas scott: things my mother used to say: HEY! Stop throwing rocks at cars! Today,at 67 years old,she's STILL gritchy,like that.
	7:43pm cavorting with nudists: On the sweeter side, when Mom would see one of us off on a car trip she would say "Drive carefully, you've got a precious load." I still say that to loved ones.
	7:43pm Monica: Evenin', S'Wolf!...12539 - you get out of jail on "time spent"... CB1, that dad-burned tumblr... hi, Revolution Rabbit Nov63...good call, Reeshard...
	7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & you can Favorite from the HomePage! ...this also goes w/ the 'new' Mac situation for me...
	7:44pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Yup, the homepage is a star party now.
	7:45pm lynchnet: Monica, did your mother ever say godd dammitt in a raised tone?
	7:46pm ?: Funky fun!
	7:46pm ?: Funky fun!
	7:47pm Dave E: I used to here "Darn Kids" a lot . . . usually directed at other kids in the neighborhood but sometimes I wonder....
	7:50pm Monica: emily - xlent... glowing one - he who smelt it... cavorting - yeah, that's a buzzkiller,,, funny, sem...LJFW, damn!...thanks, doca!... kenzo in the house!! many thanks for all you do...uuee, hell yeah...
	7:51pm CB2: Stretch it girl!
	7:52pm Reeshard: My mom was and remains a doll, but cooking was always a necessary evil in her household. I'd ask what was for dinner and, upon finding a familiar but barely edible item on the menu, would groan, make a face, etc.. After a while, when asked about the evening meal, she'd say "Judy & Ebby & Tea & Baps." Really. And, smiling, she would return to her infernal preparations. This worked, in that it shut me up, if only by virtue of sheer unanswerability.
	7:53pm Reeshard: J. Gtr Watson! PERFECTION, Miz M.!
	7:54pm Monica: alright now, CB2!... Dave E - not my child!...hi, ?... lynchnet, it was never in a hushed tone... reeshard, my moms was awful in the kitchen as well, and thanks!
	7:59pm CB1: CB2 wants to know how he can have the lower image as his avatar - I won't tell you his nickname.
	8:00pm Monica: CB1, just save the image and upload it as your avatar!
	8:02pm deanland: My mother was a horrendous cook. She could burn water. Meats were turned into charcoal. She'd serve dinner and look at us a la Nurse Ratchet and say, "EAT!" I always thought it was more of a threat, or maybe a dare, than an entreaty.
	8:03pm Andrew Waterloo: hello
	8:03pm deanland: The lower image brings new meaning to the term,"bobble head"
	8:05pm Andrew Waterloo: My mom was a decent cook but also a very meat and potatoes cook. She still is.
	8:06pm Reeshard: The return of the Nutley Brass! After a few weeks' of non-traditional episodes and absences, so glad to here my fave among your bed music selections.
	8:06pm Andrew Waterloo: The roast beef was always extremely dry.
	8:07pm Uncle Michael: My mother was a chef. That certainly had advantages.
	8:08pm Sem Chumbo: My Mother could cook chicken so rare a talented ICU team could have brought it back to life.
	8:10pm Andrew Waterloo: Or at least the Re-Animator
	8:10pm bloopy: howdy!
	8:12pm Monica: bloopy!... andrew waterloo, bloody!... sem, that's raw...no fair, uncle michael!... yes, reeshard...ha, deanland!...
	8:12pm Uncle Michael: Andrew, before my mother worked professionally as a chef, she worked in theater in Chicago and worked for Stuart Gordon at the Organic Theater before he directed Re-animator. Apparently I'm going to link every comment to my mom tonight.
	8:13pm Green Mountain Man Mark: high
	8:14pm CB1: Can't make avatar for CB2 because we share the same email address. Ah, shucks . . .
	8:16pm Andrew Waterloo: Don't mind if you do Uncle Michael
	8:17pm Andrew Waterloo: I've learned to live with the fact that I have a redneck background. Sometimes it comes in handy.
	8:17pm deanland: As I would stare at my mostly untouched plate in disgust and fear, my mother would offer up that old canard, "Children are starving in China" (although sometimes it was children in India) and I would think, "send them this food and they'd go from starving to dying." But wisely, for self preservation, I never said that aloud. I, too, did the food in a napkin trick, and wished we'd had a dog I could sneak the food to .. although even a dog might have refused such drek.
	8:18pm Uncle Michael: Especially on date night. WHAT?!
	8:20pm Mutant: I was just looking at this Goat record in the store today but I didn't buy it. I didn't think it could be as interesting as the original record, but this is making me think otherwise.
	8:25pm Monica: Mutant - i like, grabbed a DL.... deanland, oy!...
	8:26pm listener gary: Hello dj monica. You woke me up ...but it's ok ...I had to get up anyway. Wish I could remember why.
	8:26pm ScottC: thinking of Dave's upcomming drummer show reminded me of a really underrated drummer - Canned Heat's drummer. you see he's so underrated that I don't even know his name...
	8:26pm Uncle Michael: hucklebuck!
	8:28pm pacific standard simon: Shamefully late to the party... Hello Monica and all yez.
	8:28pm Mutant: I'm not usually a remix person
	8:28pm tomB: steve krinsky alert!
	8:29pm Melissa: love this song.....
	8:29pm pacific standard simon: This is the song I wanted to hear during the George Jones marathons.
	8:29pm Uncle Michael: The Hucklebuck has interesting history. Most people probably wouldn't think "Lionel Hampton."
	8:30pm Monica: howdy, pacific standard simon - better tardy than absent...hi, tomB - yes... uncle michael, a classic... ScottC - be sure to post during Dave's show!Listener Gary - wake up, dumplin'!
	8:32pm Melissa: Years ago there was a wonderful FMU marathon reward cassette of every version of the Hucklebuck ever recorded, cant remember which DJ offered it- but it was genius.............
	8:32pm Monica: yo, melissa!
	8:33pm Melissa: yo, yerself!
	8:34pm Uncle Michael: @Melissa, that's excellent.
	8:35pm Melissa: maybe it was Steve Krinsky who did that cassette..............I have it, available if anyone wants to borrow and digitize.....
	8:39pm Uncle Michael: Hucklebuck: wfmu.org...
	8:39pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm see Dan Deacon this fall, or at least something to do with Dan Deacon and the local Symphony
	8:40pm unununun: What release is this Daniel Johnston track from?
	8:42pm Monica: unununun - i think it's a soundtrack called crazy ducks,.., andrew - coolio....YES, steve krnsky did the huckleback history, folks ! thanks, melissa, michael, and callers!
	8:44pm Uncle Michael: I still haven't found a link to the music. Not giving up...
	8:47pm david_: I'm glad Canadian Brass worked the coda/fadeout into their rendition...
	8:52pm Parq: Way belateed hellos. If these GIFs are any indication of what I missed, I am going to have to listen to the archive with my office door tightly closed.
	8:52pm clueless in MI: monica, pretty, as usual, thanx for the show
	8:53pm G: On and off for two hours practically I've been trying to puzzle out which gif is more disturbing, and simply can't decide. Does the bottom one have a caption, for example maybe "Inflatable Mother's Day"?
	8:53pm amEdeo: This is great.
	8:53pm pacific standard simon: Huh. TCM ran a short from 1929 tonight featuring the singing of "Baby Rose Marie" -- the very same Rose Marie who was on the Dick Van Dyke show, and is still alive today. That woman has had a helluva long career!
	8:57pm CB1: Thanks for the great show. Night Butter!
	8:57pm Random Dave: Good show - interesting mix - thanks, Monica!
	8:57pm pacific standard simon: The inflatable GIF is even more disturbing when accompanied by the sound of a dog drinking water.
	8:57pm lynchnet: thank you Monica
	8:58pm Monica: Thanks all for tuning in! See you next week! stay tuned for Dave!
	8:58pm amEdeo: No wait. THAT Butter interlude was great.
	8:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, Monica.
	8:59pm amEdeo: Aw thanks! :~)
	9:00pm fleep: Thanks, Monica!
	9:03pm deanland: We love our Sundays: a Yankee game in the afternoon, quickie dinner at our local diner, then home in time to catch Monica's show. A little more time, then Mad Men. Nice way to wrap up the weekend.

	8:17pm Andrew Waterloo: I've learned to live with the fact that I have a redneck background. Sometimes it comes in handy.
	8:17pm deanland: As I would stare at my mostly untouched plate in disgust and fear, my mother would offer up that old canard, "Children are starving in China" (although sometimes it was children in India) and I would think, "send them this food and they'd go from starving to dying." But wisely, for self preservation, I never said that aloud. I, too, did the food in a napkin trick, and wished we'd had a dog I could sneak the food to .. although even a dog might have refused such drek.
	8:18pm Uncle Michael: Especially on date night. WHAT?!
	8:20pm Mutant: I was just looking at this Goat record in the store today but I didn't buy it. I didn't think it could be as interesting as the original record, but this is making me think otherwise.
	8:25pm Monica: Mutant - i like, grabbed a DL.... deanland, oy!...
	8:26pm listener gary: Hello dj monica. You woke me up ...but it's ok ...I had to get up anyway. Wish I could remember why.
	8:26pm ScottC: thinking of Dave's upcomming drummer show reminded me of a really underrated drummer - Canned Heat's drummer. you see he's so underrated that I don't even know his name...
	8:26pm Uncle Michael: hucklebuck!
	8:28pm pacific standard simon: Shamefully late to the party... Hello Monica and all yez.
	8:28pm Mutant: I'm not usually a remix person
	8:28pm tomB: steve krinsky alert!
	8:29pm Melissa: love this song.....
	8:29pm pacific standard simon: This is the song I wanted to hear during the George Jones marathons.
	8:29pm Uncle Michael: The Hucklebuck has interesting history. Most people probably wouldn't think "Lionel Hampton."
	8:30pm Monica: howdy, pacific standard simon - better tardy than absent...hi, tomB - yes... uncle michael, a classic... ScottC - be sure to post during Dave's show!Listener Gary - wake up, dumplin'!
	8:32pm Melissa: Years ago there was a wonderful FMU marathon reward cassette of every version of the Hucklebuck ever recorded, cant remember which DJ offered it- but it was genius.............
	8:32pm Monica: yo, melissa!
	8:33pm Melissa: yo, yerself!
	8:34pm Uncle Michael: @Melissa, that's excellent.
	8:35pm Melissa: maybe it was Steve Krinsky who did that cassette..............I have it, available if anyone wants to borrow and digitize.....
	8:39pm Uncle Michael: Hucklebuck: wfmu.org...
	8:39pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm see Dan Deacon this fall, or at least something to do with Dan Deacon and the local Symphony
	8:40pm unununun: What release is this Daniel Johnston track from?
	8:42pm Monica: unununun - i think it's a soundtrack called crazy ducks,.., andrew - coolio....YES, steve krnsky did the huckleback history, folks ! thanks, melissa, michael, and callers!
	8:44pm Uncle Michael: I still haven't found a link to the music. Not giving up...
	8:47pm david_: I'm glad Canadian Brass worked the coda/fadeout into their rendition...
	8:52pm Parq: Way belateed hellos. If these GIFs are any indication of what I missed, I am going to have to listen to the archive with my office door tightly closed.
	8:52pm clueless in MI: monica, pretty, as usual, thanx for the show
	8:53pm G: On and off for two hours practically I've been trying to puzzle out which gif is more disturbing, and simply can't decide. Does the bottom one have a caption, for example maybe "Inflatable Mother's Day"?
	8:53pm amEdeo: This is great.
	8:53pm pacific standard simon: Huh. TCM ran a short from 1929 tonight featuring the singing of "Baby Rose Marie" -- the very same Rose Marie who was on the Dick Van Dyke show, and is still alive today. That woman has had a helluva long career!
	8:57pm CB1: Thanks for the great show. Night Butter!
	8:57pm Random Dave: Good show - interesting mix - thanks, Monica!
	8:57pm pacific standard simon: The inflatable GIF is even more disturbing when accompanied by the sound of a dog drinking water.
	8:57pm lynchnet: thank you Monica
	8:58pm Monica: Thanks all for tuning in! See you next week! stay tuned for Dave!
	8:58pm amEdeo: No wait. THAT Butter interlude was great.
	8:59pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the music, Monica.
	8:59pm amEdeo: Aw thanks! :~)
	9:00pm fleep: Thanks, Monica!
	9:03pm deanland: We love our Sundays: a Yankee game in the afternoon, quickie dinner at our local diner, then home in time to catch Monica's show. A little more time, then Mad Men. Nice way to wrap up the weekend.
