Listener comments!
	3:00pm Wild Neil: Peace Irwin et al!
	👻 3:01pm rrg: We expect bacon today.
	3:05pm Listening Out There: Bacon and Ducks. It's a carnivorous program today...
	3:06pm Dean: "...ogram today..today...today...t-o-d-a-y...o-d-a-y..."
	3:06pm Sem Chumbo: Ohio: home of the idiopathic echo, and some people who silence them.
	3:08pm Mike East: yeah! Give the drummer some!
	3:10pm Wild Neil: Jazz is amazing...it is so full of a WIDE variety of musics..such as Insect Trust...that it always blows my mind. Last week I officially took off my Prog Rock blinders and now am exploring JAZZ...which is too cool beyond words I can write here. Wow. All art aspires to the condition of music somebody once said (heard that at Cooper Union)...
	👻 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder, how much do echo technicians charge to add echos to a place of residence? I'd enjoy having a couple around.
	3:12pm Dean: If I had it all to do over again, I'd work in architectural acoustics.
	👻 3:13pm rrg: I'd work in audio restoration.
	3:15pm Sem Chumbo: I hear there's big money in echolalia.
	3:16pm Michael 98145: not to mention echolocation
	3:17pm Dean: Hell, yeah, that, too! I think of Ward Marston, whose work remastering old vocal recitals is amazing. And the folks at Berkeley who have managed to digitize unique and extremely fragile recordings (on wax, etc.) without injuring the originals. Nice touch, Sem, the "I hear..." part.
	3:19pm Wild Neil: I think it would be super-cool to watch an echo technician work....tools of the trade and experience at play. wow...very unusual...right now I am trying to help people invent new stuff and bring it to market...this is good music for that....I REALLY need to get a turntable to rescue old Jazz records for my collection...
	👻 3:19pm rrg: Yes, Dean, I'm thinking particularly about the work of Carl Haber and his colleagues at LBL. www.macfound.org...
	👻 3:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Internet search shows that echorelocation is a moving company in Anchorage, Alaska.
	3:20pm Sem Chumbo: I hear what you're saying, Dean.
	3:21pm Dean: Yup, rrg, me, too. You hear what I'm saying, Sem? What I'm saying?
	👻 3:22pm rrg: I am second to none in my wish not to spend money needlessly, but rather than try to digitize my own vinyl, I would send it to a service (ReclaimMedia in Seattle is a good one) to digitize it for me.
	3:24pm Dean: Here's something about Marston: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/27/arts/music/a-master-of-making-old-tunes-new-again.html Figures. I never knew he played for a living, too.
	3:28pm berbo: WFMU - just another Classic Rock station. We play all the favorites, at the same time!
	3:29pm V Priceless: perfect
	3:29pm Laura L: what a zippy mish mash
	3:29pm Sem Chumbo: This is so great, Irwin.
	3:31pm Laura L: and a nice segue too
	3:31pm Irwin: The entire REVOLVED mash used to be online. Dig around, might find it. Chris Shaw (ccc) mixed it all by his lonesome.
	3:31pm Michael 98145: i was very happy-uh
	3:35pm Michael 98145: who ever thought we needed fake pot ?? www.cnn.com...
	3:35pm MONEYBAG$: MES needs to have a weekly podcast where he just rambles for an hour
	3:39pm Roberto: Welcome back, Amanda. We've missed you.
	👻 3:39pm rrg: Amanda Rarities?
	3:39pm Laura L: RAAAARRRRR-ities.
	👻 3:40pm βrian: I thought I recognized that velvet cooing!
	3:40pm JakeGould: @Michael98145: K2 (fake pot) is about cashing in on the desire people have for legal weed in places it’s not legal. But K2 is not weed, smells different and the high is different. When was the last time you heard of 30+ people hospitalized for smoking weed? They just just legalize pot already. It would solve so many problems.
	👻 3:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Welcome, Amanda! It's been too long.
	3:42pm Planet Tyler: Being on a psychedelic journey with Amanda would probably suuuuuck. Just sayin' a bad trip fer sure
	3:42pm ChrisB.: Cosmic Rough Riders put on a great show a few years back in Asbury Park. Of course there were only two of us there. Shameful.
	3:44pm rsj: that amanda, vision of GOP youth of the future
	3:45pm Ochre Ogre: Psychedelic Journey- hallucinations... hit it!!!
	3:46pm Michael 98145: @JakeG, up here in the upper left corner pot is everywhere - seldom a bus ride without the dank skunk smell
	3:49pm Roberto: Stay tuned for one of the best lyrics ever...
	3:49pm Roberto: There it is.
	3:49pm Carmichael: Dudes, I live in Northern California. Pot abounds. ABOUNDS, I tell yez.
	3:50pm Michael 98145: the west is green
	3:50pm Irwin: Roberto: One of those songs everyone wishes they'd written.
	3:50pm Roberto: Nick was rick rollin' while the internet was still in diapers.
	👻 3:57pm βrian: We have a new Librarian of Congress: Carla Hayden. (Finally)
	3:58pm Dean: Per ALA, "She also is the first professional librarian to be confirmed in more than 60 years."
	3:59pm Irwin: Karen Mantler playing live next Saturday night 7/16 at the Owl Music Parlor, Brooklyn, 10pm, with a band.
	4:02pm Dean: Let the library jokes commence. I'll start with an adaptation from Steven Wright: "“I went to a library and asked the librarian, 'Where’s the self-help section?' She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.” And Rodney Dangerfield: "I came from a real tough neighborhood. In the library the sign says, SHUT THE F..K UP!"
	4:03pm Dean: Giuffre! Gezundheit.
	4:05pm Uncle Michael: I thought the Joey Bishop show was starting.
	4:09pm Dean: Youngman: A man walks into a library and says, "I hope you don’t have a book on reverse psychology."
	👻 4:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Q: What do librarians use for bait when they go fishing? A: Bookworms!
	4:14pm Dean: I tell this too frequently, but here's a bumper sticker I've never seen: LIBRARIANS OVERDUE IT
	👻 4:15pm rrg: The Internet has many of these. I don't know why I feel obliged to contribute, but: A patron asked the librarian why Tales of Robin Hood had been withdrawn from the collection. The librarian replied, "Too much Saxon violence."
	4:18pm Librarian: What's the difference between a pizza and a librarian? A pizza can feed a family of four.
	4:20pm Wild Neil: My ex-wife is a technical librarian. I have no jokes.
	4:21pm Dean: The Robin Joke reminds me of a real-life story from a public library where I worked long ago, when Madonna's scandalous book of photographs was published. To collect or not? Meanwhile, browse the adult fiction shelves, where you'll find Philip Roth's marvelously filthy "Sabbath's Theater," about which nobody makes a peep! You can say that again, Librarian. C'mon, Neil. She has to have told you one or two about non-filing indicators!
	4:22pm Dean: *Robin Hood joke
	👻 4:26pm Seanbelly: So this librarian walks into an abortion clinic and
	4:27pm domenic: How many owls does it take to lick a library into a gum drop?
	👻 4:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Why did the librarian slip and fall in the library? She wasn't paying attention when she entered the non-friction section.
	4:28pm domenic: nice one K f HP
	4:31pm P-90: Hi Irwin and all. Heard about the librarian jokes and had to come by and check them out.
	4:31pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: Primary requirement for library school admission a low self-esteem?
	4:32pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: (I have a MLS.)
	4:36pm Dean: Shoot, colinfrom.... I was waiting for a punch line.
	4:37pm єki: Wait, did the Arkestra sing that they'll go through the sun on their way somewhere?! Hoo boy, that's some dangerous routing misinformation. Clearly their GPS malfunctioned pretty badly, like that time one tried to tell my friends to drive into a barn.
	4:39pm Wild Neil: @Eki-how did you make your name appear backwards??
	4:40pm Uncle Michael: An old friend of mine is playing drums on this Jayhawks track.
	👻 4:40pm rrg: Name him!
	4:40pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: Dean. Not many punchlines from librarians. Life is too sad!
	4:40pm Uncle Michael: Tim O'Reagan
	4:41pm Wild Neil: colinfromvictoriabccanda-I miss the book Books in Print...many libararies no longer bother getting it...
	4:42pm Dean: Wild Neil: You mean like this? liɘИ bliW Go here--http://txtn.us/mirror-words--and use the Reverse button. Takes care of the markup and coding.
	👻 4:42pm Alison Porchnik: I like this song. Beatlesish but without all that Beatles emotional baggage.
	4:43pm Irwin: It's a Syd tune!
	4:44pm Uncle Michael: Syd was the 6345th Beatle.
	4:44pm Wild Neil: Wilb ИɘilWilb ИɘilWilb ИɘilWilb ИɘilWilb Иɘil
	👻 4:44pm rrg: Well, now! A favorite of mine.
	4:44pm Wild Neil: Leaving work now. Bye!
	4:44pm Irwin: Great drums by Gerry Conway on this Matthews recording.
	4:45pm Uncle Michael: What is, Ron?
	4:45pm Irwin: Richard Farina wrote the tune.
	👻 4:45pm rrg: A Richard Fariña song. This song, Michael. "Morgan the Pirate."
	4:45pm Uncle Michael: I like Ian Matthews.
	👻 4:46pm rrg: Crossed in the mail.
	4:46pm Irwin: Richard Thompson's on the album, but there's three guitarists credited. Not sure if he plays on this.
	👻 4:47pm rrg: Gerry Conway was also with Fotheringay. And he played for a while with Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
	4:48pm Joe McG: Song's allegedly about Bob Dylan!
	4:48pm Dean: Is it Ian or Iain or either or both?
	👻 4:48pm rrg: There's also a version of this song by Richard and Mimi Fariña (natch).
	👻 4:49pm rrg: It's either Ian or Iain depending on how Irish you're feeling.
	4:49pm Irwin: Ian McDonald, then Ian Matthews, than Iain. I couldn't keep up.
	👻 4:49pm rrg: I like to say "natch" because Stan Lee always said it.
	👻 4:50pm rrg: Probably still does.
	👻 4:50pm βrian: He sounds a little like Sixto Rodriguez.
	👻 4:51pm rrg: Yeah, song about Bob Dylan. A little bit of envy there, wouldn't you say?
	5:00pm Carmichael: Simon Phillips. Saw him live with Pete Towshend once.
	5:01pm Dean: There's a decimal joke in there somewhere...
	5:02pm Dean: ..."there" being Irwin's now-deleted comment about the 100th comment.
	👻 5:02pm Alison Porchnik: Ahhhh. Needed some of this.
	5:03pm Irwin: I can undo the deletion. But the world might end.
	👻 5:03pm rrg: I missed it, Dean. Please tell me what the now-deleted comment said.
	👻 5:04pm rrg: This version of "Morning Train" is a little "incorrect", isn't it?
	5:05pm Michael 98145: rhythmically challenged
	5:05pm Rich in Washington: Is this the Dreams of a sociopath dude?
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& what a lucky fellow he is... ...um - pretty good take, Simon Phillips. Can we have exactly that again w/ just a leetle more feeling 14th bar...from the top now...
	5:06pm Dean: Maybe Irwin should replace it with its mirror image. See above. It was a meta-comment about there not yet being a 100th comment, which, it so happened, the meta-comment became.
	👻 5:06pm rrg: Now, you see. This is why I listen to this program.
	5:08pm MG: STILL playing this shizz? Groan
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jimi would be down...not unlike his 'Stars That Play w/ Laughing Sam's Dice'...
	👻 5:09pm rrg: Irwin doesn't call this a mashup but it is! CCC isn't the only person who can do these.
	5:10pm Irwin: MG: still listening?
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...your people I do not understand...
	5:10pm Cliff in Prague: I love it when I switch on the stream and hear "AAAAIAIEEIEEIIAAAIAUAUUGAAAGHAHAGUAUGAGHGHUAAUAUUGUUGHGHGHGHGHGH!HGH!GH!HG!HGHG!!H1!!H!HGH!GH!H!H!!H!!! COOKIE!!!!!!"
	5:11pm Carmichael: I love the Power Child!
	5:12pm Cliff in Prague: KNEEL BEFORE ME COOKIE AND WORSHIP ME
	5:12pm laughingacademy: BRB,getting my tubes tied so I WILL NEVER HAVE KIDS
	5:13pm berbo: Rumor has that Mitch Mitchell was not happy with mix.
	👻 5:14pm rrg: There are no bad versions of Caravan. Irwin is right.
	5:15pm Irwin: Thanks to rrg for this one.
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mitch: "Chas Chandler [Manager & former Animals' Bassist] never tired of telling us how cheaply & quickly they recorded 'House of the Rising Sun' "...
	5:15pm ChrisB.: Is Amanda currently aware of her status as musical outsider artist?
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this is Scott Walker right?
	5:16pm Dean: Gotta play Claw Hammer's version one of these days.
	👻 5:22pm rrg: ChrisB, Amanda and her brother were interviewed for this program a few years ago. I'm sure it's in the archives.
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Band' is too small a word for this.
	5:30pm ChrisB.: Thank you, rrg. I will pursue.
	👻 5:36pm rrg: I wish I could buy this album. Can't find it.
	5:37pm zachary: It's hard to imagine a bad version of "Windy" too
	5:37pm Dean: Dang. I was at my mother's in LA a few weeks ago. I intended to grab her copy of this, but forgot! Instead, I picked up her (really my) Carpenters' Close to You and Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits.
	5:40pm berbo: I think I've got the entire Carpenters catalog in my basement, including both Christmas albums (on cassette!). That gives me a warm feeling.
	5:49pm Dean: Long ago, I grabbed my parents' Burt Bacharach and Jonathan & Darlene Edwards records. Prized possessions.
	5:49pm Carmichael: I hope they don't speak French during this Morticia song.
	👻 5:49pm rrg: I love all that stuff too, Dean.
	👻 5:55pm rrg: This Mingus is the son of THAT Mingus, is that right?
	5:56pm P-90: @Dean: ditto on the Burt and Jonathan & Darlene.
	👻 5:57pm rrg: Thanks for the program. G'night, all.
	5:58pm Dean: I like to think that Bacharach's recording of his "Mexican Divorce" is the greatest pop song of all time. Hard sometimes to think of anything better. And Ry Cooder's version doesn't come close.
	6:00pm P-90: Thanks, Irwin. See you next week for some Joe.

	4:22pm Dean: *Robin Hood joke
	👻 4:26pm Seanbelly: So this librarian walks into an abortion clinic and
	4:27pm domenic: How many owls does it take to lick a library into a gum drop?
	👻 4:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Why did the librarian slip and fall in the library? She wasn't paying attention when she entered the non-friction section.
	4:28pm domenic: nice one K f HP
	4:31pm P-90: Hi Irwin and all. Heard about the librarian jokes and had to come by and check them out.
	4:31pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: Primary requirement for library school admission a low self-esteem?
	4:32pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: (I have a MLS.)
	4:36pm Dean: Shoot, colinfrom.... I was waiting for a punch line.
	4:37pm єki: Wait, did the Arkestra sing that they'll go through the sun on their way somewhere?! Hoo boy, that's some dangerous routing misinformation. Clearly their GPS malfunctioned pretty badly, like that time one tried to tell my friends to drive into a barn.
	4:39pm Wild Neil: @Eki-how did you make your name appear backwards??
	4:40pm Uncle Michael: An old friend of mine is playing drums on this Jayhawks track.
	👻 4:40pm rrg: Name him!
	4:40pm colinfromvictoriabccanada: Dean. Not many punchlines from librarians. Life is too sad!
	4:40pm Uncle Michael: Tim O'Reagan
	4:41pm Wild Neil: colinfromvictoriabccanda-I miss the book Books in Print...many libararies no longer bother getting it...
	4:42pm Dean: Wild Neil: You mean like this? liɘИ bliW Go here--http://txtn.us/mirror-words--and use the Reverse button. Takes care of the markup and coding.
	👻 4:42pm Alison Porchnik: I like this song. Beatlesish but without all that Beatles emotional baggage.
	4:43pm Irwin: It's a Syd tune!
	4:44pm Uncle Michael: Syd was the 6345th Beatle.
	4:44pm Wild Neil: Wilb ИɘilWilb ИɘilWilb ИɘilWilb ИɘilWilb Иɘil
	👻 4:44pm rrg: Well, now! A favorite of mine.
	4:44pm Wild Neil: Leaving work now. Bye!
	4:44pm Irwin: Great drums by Gerry Conway on this Matthews recording.
	4:45pm Uncle Michael: What is, Ron?
	4:45pm Irwin: Richard Farina wrote the tune.
	👻 4:45pm rrg: A Richard Fariña song. This song, Michael. "Morgan the Pirate."
	4:45pm Uncle Michael: I like Ian Matthews.
	👻 4:46pm rrg: Crossed in the mail.
	4:46pm Irwin: Richard Thompson's on the album, but there's three guitarists credited. Not sure if he plays on this.
	👻 4:47pm rrg: Gerry Conway was also with Fotheringay. And he played for a while with Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
	4:48pm Joe McG: Song's allegedly about Bob Dylan!
	4:48pm Dean: Is it Ian or Iain or either or both?
	👻 4:48pm rrg: There's also a version of this song by Richard and Mimi Fariña (natch).
	👻 4:49pm rrg: It's either Ian or Iain depending on how Irish you're feeling.
	4:49pm Irwin: Ian McDonald, then Ian Matthews, than Iain. I couldn't keep up.
	👻 4:49pm rrg: I like to say "natch" because Stan Lee always said it.
	👻 4:50pm rrg: Probably still does.
	👻 4:50pm βrian: He sounds a little like Sixto Rodriguez.
	👻 4:51pm rrg: Yeah, song about Bob Dylan. A little bit of envy there, wouldn't you say?
	5:00pm Carmichael: Simon Phillips. Saw him live with Pete Towshend once.
	5:01pm Dean: There's a decimal joke in there somewhere...
	5:02pm Dean: ..."there" being Irwin's now-deleted comment about the 100th comment.
	👻 5:02pm Alison Porchnik: Ahhhh. Needed some of this.
	5:03pm Irwin: I can undo the deletion. But the world might end.
	👻 5:03pm rrg: I missed it, Dean. Please tell me what the now-deleted comment said.
	👻 5:04pm rrg: This version of "Morning Train" is a little "incorrect", isn't it?
	5:05pm Michael 98145: rhythmically challenged
	5:05pm Rich in Washington: Is this the Dreams of a sociopath dude?
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& what a lucky fellow he is... ...um - pretty good take, Simon Phillips. Can we have exactly that again w/ just a leetle more feeling 14th bar...from the top now...
	5:06pm Dean: Maybe Irwin should replace it with its mirror image. See above. It was a meta-comment about there not yet being a 100th comment, which, it so happened, the meta-comment became.
	👻 5:06pm rrg: Now, you see. This is why I listen to this program.
	5:08pm MG: STILL playing this shizz? Groan
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jimi would be down...not unlike his 'Stars That Play w/ Laughing Sam's Dice'...
	👻 5:09pm rrg: Irwin doesn't call this a mashup but it is! CCC isn't the only person who can do these.
	5:10pm Irwin: MG: still listening?
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...your people I do not understand...
	5:10pm Cliff in Prague: I love it when I switch on the stream and hear "AAAAIAIEEIEEIIAAAIAUAUUGAAAGHAHAGUAUGAGHGHUAAUAUUGUUGHGHGHGHGHGH!HGH!GH!HG!HGHG!!H1!!H!HGH!GH!H!H!!H!!! COOKIE!!!!!!"
	5:11pm Carmichael: I love the Power Child!
	5:12pm Cliff in Prague: KNEEL BEFORE ME COOKIE AND WORSHIP ME
	5:12pm laughingacademy: BRB,getting my tubes tied so I WILL NEVER HAVE KIDS
	5:13pm berbo: Rumor has that Mitch Mitchell was not happy with mix.
	👻 5:14pm rrg: There are no bad versions of Caravan. Irwin is right.
	5:15pm Irwin: Thanks to rrg for this one.
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mitch: "Chas Chandler [Manager & former Animals' Bassist] never tired of telling us how cheaply & quickly they recorded 'House of the Rising Sun' "...
	5:15pm ChrisB.: Is Amanda currently aware of her status as musical outsider artist?
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this is Scott Walker right?
	5:16pm Dean: Gotta play Claw Hammer's version one of these days.
	👻 5:22pm rrg: ChrisB, Amanda and her brother were interviewed for this program a few years ago. I'm sure it's in the archives.
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Band' is too small a word for this.
	5:30pm ChrisB.: Thank you, rrg. I will pursue.
	👻 5:36pm rrg: I wish I could buy this album. Can't find it.
	5:37pm zachary: It's hard to imagine a bad version of "Windy" too
	5:37pm Dean: Dang. I was at my mother's in LA a few weeks ago. I intended to grab her copy of this, but forgot! Instead, I picked up her (really my) Carpenters' Close to You and Mrs. Miller's Greatest Hits.
	5:40pm berbo: I think I've got the entire Carpenters catalog in my basement, including both Christmas albums (on cassette!). That gives me a warm feeling.
	5:49pm Dean: Long ago, I grabbed my parents' Burt Bacharach and Jonathan & Darlene Edwards records. Prized possessions.
	5:49pm Carmichael: I hope they don't speak French during this Morticia song.
	👻 5:49pm rrg: I love all that stuff too, Dean.
	👻 5:55pm rrg: This Mingus is the son of THAT Mingus, is that right?
	5:56pm P-90: @Dean: ditto on the Burt and Jonathan & Darlene.
	👻 5:57pm rrg: Thanks for the program. G'night, all.
	5:58pm Dean: I like to think that Bacharach's recording of his "Mexican Divorce" is the greatest pop song of all time. Hard sometimes to think of anything better. And Ry Cooder's version doesn't come close.
	6:00pm P-90: Thanks, Irwin. See you next week for some Joe.
