WFMU: Airborne Event: Playlist from November 3, 2014

Listener comments!
	9:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Atomic Earburn Net ?
	9:08pm ! I X Key !: !
	9:09pm ! I X Key !: I can be about as devoted to Dan Bodah as a Scientologist is to Mr. Hubbard
	9:10pm ! I X Key !: One of the onlyest things is
	9:10pm JakeGould: Screw L.Ron Hubbard, have you seen “Alex from Target” on Twitter? Talk about charismatic leaders!
	9:11pm ! I X Key !: The Church of Scientology isn't a real religion. It isn't. LRH said it isn't. What it is is a criminal organization that got religious status by constantly litigating the IRS -- constant litigation tech -- until they got religious status so they wouldn't have to pay taxes.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I quite enjoyed the SubGenius 'Hour of Slack' for the 1st time today. Also - on the Eve of an Election - I'm so glad we've gotten to know the Family of SarahPalin. Also - the Mothers of Invention. ...Yes Jake - very pretty...[rolls eyes]...
	9:14pm ! I X Key !: Tomorrow 4 states will be voting on serious changes in marijuana laws. After tomorrow it could be more than half the states that have legalized it.
	9:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I think they even caught PopeFrancis sniggering to LennyBruce...yes - there's real Progress afoot...
	9:19pm ranjit: Pope Francis Bebey? Don't give him bananas, potatoes, and yams at the same time.
	9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yams are natural steroids.
	9:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I yam what I yam...
	9:21pm ranjit: That explains why they look so muscular.
	9:27pm JakeGould: Yams are just sugar potatoes.
	9:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alex is a sugar potatoe.
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...time is exactly 21:32 (not 22)...
	9:32pm ! I X Key !: Yam
	9:34pm ! I X Key !: ! Yams are so good for you Yams are one of the best sources of carotenoids That's what makes it orange Yams & salmon Yum all up yams (o:
	9:35pm ! I X Key !: & carotenoids are also what give kale its GREEN color
	9:36pm ! I X Key !: Yams are one of my favorite popatoe -shaped roots
	9:37pm JakeGould: I think I had too many carotenoids this weekend because I drank all this carrot juice and now I feel woozy. That happens with vitamin A. Is that carotenoid?
	9:38pm Cliff: 2cm is pretty big....remember, if it's bitter it's a spitter
	9:38pm ! I X Key !: I''m a sucker for sweet potatoe kale burritoes alongside ceviche
	9:38pm ! I X Key !: Cevicheo
	9:42pm Cliff: Funny how I can recognize a Coil track within the first few seconds of it playing.
	9:47pm ! I X Key !: unlike how Scientologists who are at the Gold Base aka Int Base are fed only a starvation diet of rike & beans Not rice & beans as part of a nice diet or anything Only rike & beans, with all the actual real suffering that comes with it. It's not something a person generally wants to be locked inside & guarded to be. That's why people have jumped the fence or run through a door as soon as it was open & wrestled guards & founght a "soft recovery," handlers sent everywhere who have found you to talk you into going back to the org or whatever, & is that doesn't work, a "hard recovery" which is physically kidnapping & locking in the back of the OSA van & put back on post
	9:49pm JakeGould: Why you-a talking about Scientology jibber jabber? Listen to the music!
	9:50pm ! I X Key !: I grieved when John Balance passed away. So young, & an unnatural death
	9:53pm ! I X Key !: How can you tell a Coil track right away? Production? How?
	9:54pm Cliff: Don't know, it's whatever magic they did when they recorded it that makes me go, oh, it's Coil!
	9:59pm Cliff: I think Bardo Pond is the only other band that gives me that insta-recognition reaction.
	10:02pm glenn: dirty deeds done with sheep. www.youtube.com...
	10:02pm 12539: (Happy Birthday if you're still around, RRNov63)
	10:05pm ! I X Key !: Holy shit Horse Rotovator
	10:07pm JakeGould: Glenn, I thought that would be with actual sheep.
	10:07pm ! I X Key !: Sex Sex
	10:07pm glenn: there's a couple.
	10:12pm fleep: Cheers for Solar Motel.
	10:13pm ! I X Key !: there's Alex Grey
	10:27pm Dan Bodah: "The most intimate personal choices & requests central to your personal dignity will be sung"
	10:29pm ranjit: I'm in bed but this lullaby is not relaxing me at all.
	10:30pm ! I X Key !: &ranjit I can't imagine why
	10:30pm northguineahills: I was never a Scott Walker fan, but his last three albums have really make me like what he does.
	10:31pm Dan Bodah: @ranjit, lol -- Scott Walker tends to have a, er, slightly different effect. It is comparatively peaceful compared to some of his other stuff tho
	10:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheers 12539 ! The Scott O))) ! HolyCrow ! ...I wonder how JulianCope like him now...
	10:37pm Kurt Gottschalk: yup! 'sex' is their first.
	10:38pm ! I X Key !: I feel weird calling him "L. Ron Hubbard." Who goes by heir first initial & the first half of their middle name? It's already getting into his weirdness
	10:40pm northguineahills: Feliz cumpleanos RevRabbit!
	10:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheers ngh ! ...not like I really wanna add +1 - I'm in shock as it is...but Solar Return & all anyhow - yerknow... - My best to you in all endeavors, you crazy Newlywed !...
	10:48pm coelacanth: hello Dan Bodah and flyers, gliders. ...I see a reference to l ron hubbard, and this music rminds me of some of the music he has made. (coincidence?)
	10:59pm northguineahills: www.doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com has a live set of the Solar Motel Band in Philly. Thanks, Rev Rabbit, still jumping through bureaucratic hoops for the dumb visa for the wife.
	11:00pm fleep: @RRN63 Speaking from one rabbit behind you - you ain't seen nothin' yet. Enjoy.
	11:05pm Ike: Hi all! I just tried a restaurant in (Manhattan's) Chinatown called Noodle Village. I don't eat a lot of Cantonese Chinese food -- some of it's kind of bland. But this was tasty.
	11:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - always good to 'see' you fleep !
	11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yer a heavy, DJ DanB !
	11:19pm coelacanth: ...so i'm curious how lrh got into the comments & now want to correct something.(no offense to whomever said it) Yams are white inside & probably dont contain much carotene.Sweet potatoes (some types usually,and incorrectly,referred to as "yams" -such as "garnet yams")have lots.(they are not related to yams or potatoes)...and chlorophyll is what makes kale green,though it does have carotenoids too. [for me,this is important. I'm sorry if i sound like a "know-it-all"]
	11:23pm rw: I worked on a project recently that involved ancient Chinese textiles. Carbon dating revealed that one of the textiles was a forgery but it was still 1000 years old!
	11:24pm rw: The authentic textiles were 2000 years old. Pretty amazing.
	11:25pm Dan Bodah: @rw, exactly! and the forger was presumably Chinese too?
	11:27pm Kurt Gottschalk: oh man, i love this song (shalabi). thanks for playing it. i was just thinking about this record recently.
	11:29pm Dan Bodah: I was just looking at Canadian record labels on Wikipedia a few days ago and looked at the Alien8 discography & lo and behold, I thought "I gotta play Bright Guilty World again!"
	11:29pm ! I X Key !: Gayatri
	11:31pm Kurt Gottschalk: ohi and hey y'allz, just cuz the fundraiser is "over" doesn't mean it's too late to pledge to dan's fine show!
	11:32pm rw: Dan, Yes. It was explained to me that the forgeries were probably "in the style of" Much like somebody building an English Tudor style house in Southern California. The forger was using ancient themes and was probably not necessarily trying to trick anybody.
	11:34pm rw: Probably not necessarily isn't correct grammar, but you get the idea.
	11:35pm JakeGould: I like Hearty White.
	11:36pm Dan Bodah: Exactly @rw
	11:36pm Dan Bodah: & @Kurt, what he said!
	11:38pm Dan Bodah: re authenticity in "ethnic" music, I was inspired by reading this article today: artery.wbur.org...
	11:38pm Dan Bodah: Key excerpt: "More than that of her Boston-area gamelan colleagues, Diamond’s work deals directly with the legacy of colonialism and imperialism in gamelan’s spread across the globe. In a 1990 essay published in Musicworks, she identifies the way in which ethnomusicological practices have perpetuated power imbalances between researcher and ostensible “subject,” writing, “World music is a dangerous idea. If ‘world music’ means all music except Western music, it perpetuates a hierarchy of knowledge. It separates Western Culture, ‘reality’, from Other Culture, ‘an exotic variation to be observed’. ‘We’ know who ‘they’ are but they don’t know who we are. We understand the entire world but they only understand part of it. We decide what is good for our world and for theirs. We can participate in their world but should not have too much influence. We study ‘them’ and don’t share the results; they don’t need information.” Diamond believes that by fostering more equitable relationships—economically, academically, and personally—between researchers and those who would have once been referred to as “informants,” a truly equal cultural exchange can be realized. The upshot is a kind of post-modern, postcolonial musical philosophy in which no one, either local or foreign, is arbiter or keeper of any tradition. Diamond is not concerned with “preserving” gamelan music so much as interacting with it. Her compositions include mash-ups of American standards like “Wayfaring Stranger” with tunes written in a Javanese gamelan idiom."
	11:39pm blee: Clicky star all up on this bad Momma.
	11:44pm ?: Nice show tonight Dan Bodah. Have a good week.
	11:44pm Ike: Re: "ethnic": I used to say that I love ethnic restaurants, but as Tyler Cowen says, "All food is ethnic food."
	11:50pm rw: That cultural dilemma is pretty interesting/slippery territory. Love that stuff.
	11:53pm rw: Even bringing up the subject plays into the dilemma.
	11:53pm JakeGould: The issue of cultural imperialism is just troubling and the best you can do is be aware of it. But otherwise. what can you do when you discover something & adapt it which is what cultural transference of art is anyway? Or some nonsense.
	11:54pm fleep: For afters: the Hearty White/Adult Swim spot, even better with visuals www.youtube.com... Excellent eclectic evening, Dan, thanks.
	11:57pm rw: Yes!Thank you Dan Bodah!
	11:58pm Dan Bodah: So let's think about this obvious Black Sabbath rip off (and awesome rocker) by Ngozi Family in the context of the discussion we've been having about cultural appropriation etc. I'm not making an easy point, I'm exploring.
	11:59pm Dan Bodah: @fleep thanks for posting -- I meant to but forgot it.
	11:59pm 12539: Thanks, Dan.
	12:00am Ike: Thanks Dan, very nice sounds!
	12:00am rw: I remember my friend Craig in High school explaining to me that Arthur Lee was a black guy trying to sound like a white guy trying to sound like a black guy
	12:01am coelacanth: Thank you Dan Bodah.
