	8:07pm Flash Strap: not on-air yet! and warmest warm welcomes
	8:11pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Richard in Highland, NY, thank you!
	8:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Gary and other Explorers
	8:14pm Gary: Money where mouth is! :-0
	8:14pm melinda: Woo wee! This will give me the necessary push to get a new receiver and set up my turntable.
	8:15pm hyde: Charles Laughton is amazing
	🥁 8:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Are we not men?'
	8:16pm Gary: Pledge for this incredible film on Blu-Ray! pledge.wfmu.org...
	8:16pm Little Danny: Ahhh, thanks Evan! And congrats, Melinda, I can think of none worthier!
	🥁 8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Puts me in mind of a favorite book : 'The Monster Show - a Cultural History of Horror' by David J. Skal. I wish it were much larger...
	8:19pm coelacanth∅: ah, does that mean i won the other prize? i wasn't sure of what i heard...
	8:20pm Gary: Coelacanth, you got the Creation Rebel New Steppers LP
	8:20pm Gary: OMG, RevRab, you called it!
	8:21pm hyde: @Rev Rab hmmmm, i need to read that. second time i've heard it referenced this week.
	8:22pm coelacanth∅: Woowee! Thanks! that stuff was killer the bit i heard of it.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: Wow wow wow: Hi Coelacanth! Hi RevRab!
	8:24pm Flash Strap: LOVE this track, Guy Warren is a drumgod
	8:26pm Gary: Loving the premium cuts, Evan
	8:27pm coelacanth∅: i'm thinking that folks who listen to other radio stations that have fund drives would probably not believe it if i told them that i bookmark (gold-star) some marathon episodes for future enjoyment.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: It's such a crazy movie! I really can't say enough about what a brilliant, twisted performance Laughton puts down. He reclines, heftily and very louche, on a gurney and proclaims his hubris and makes of it a greatest-of-all-time acting moment instead of another villain monologue (which it is, but still)
	8:27pm hyde: "All you have shall some day be given. Therefore give now when the season of your giving is yours" -- Ghanaba
	8:28pm doctorjazz: Busy at work but enjoying the sounds, take you with me in the car, thanks!
	8:28pm Flash Strap: I hardly believe, it, C! Thanks Gary! Hey, it's an orgy of savagely pounded skins, what's not to love?
	8:29pm Flash Strap: always a pleasure to go on a ride with you, Doc
	8:33pm melinda: @coel: it's an interesting phenomenon, the high entertainment quality of FMU marathon shows. It's one of the things that got me to listen more.
	8:38pm Minnesota Jeff: Awesome premium cover, evan!
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Hi Minnesota Jeff! Thank you my pineapple brother
	8:41pm Flash Strap: I can't believe he had so many kids that they could form a brass band! And it's not even all of them!
	8:41pm Gary: Sure, pledge to win this amazing album, but pledge to say thank you to one of the smartest DJs on the air! pledge.wfmu.org...
	8:41pm Minnesota Jeff: Oddly I was listening to an old episode of Gilbert Gottfrieds podcast today and they talked about the woeful remake of Island of Lost Souls w/ Brando and Val Kilmer.
	8:43pm hyde: there's a cool looking hour long thing on Vimeo by Steven Feld that has Ghanaba aka Guy Warren doing an African drum version of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. The rest of it is an interview with him. Looks promising: vimeo.com...
	8:44pm Flash Strap: I actually love that version as well, MN Jeff! Brando is savage in it, and Kilmer is so cruel in imitating him! I watch it all the time, haha it is pretty awful in a lot of ways, esp. the 3rd act
	8:44pm Gary: Whoa, vocals?
	8:45pm hyde: there's a documentary about the making of that Lost Souls remake, but i haven't seen it
	8:46pm Minnesota Jeff: It had a notorious production, evan. Director changes mid-production, Brando re-writing the script, Kilmer deciding requesting his role be diminished by 60%, etc
	8:46pm Flash Strap: Aw shucks, Gary! Gotta see that, Hyde!
	8:48pm Flash Strap: @Gary, re: vocals - yeah! right? just plain and serious one of my favorite songs, ever. @Jeff: Oh boy, I know! I'd love to see the thing that could have been, but as it stands it's one of the most engrossing failures there is
	8:51pm Flash Strap: y'all, tonight Explorers Room is 67% of the way to it's goal and if you pledge now, you not only help us get closer to 1 hundo per cent, you could stand to win MULTIPLE prizes!
	8:51pm Gary: This track alone is worth a $20 pledge!
	8:53pm Gary: In all seriousness, this show is one of my favorite things in the universe
	8:54pm Scraps: Kilmer is so good when he pulls out the stops; hearing that Kilmer decided that he needed to minimize his role is sad
	8:57pm geezerette: Westmore. They were a dynasty. That film was made when Fascism was eating Europe.
	8:59pm Gary: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:02pm Flash Strap: @G: yes, Westmore! they were, there was a whole passel of Westmores @Scraps: what Kilmer you get is absolutely vicious, some of his best work, completely electric @Gary: the feeling is mutual. No one themes like you do, man, no one is more radical and inclusive
	9:04pm geezerette: Wally Westmore filmography. Jaw dropping! See 'em all! en.wikipedia.org...
	9:04pm Flash Strap: c'mon, you know you'd love to sit down with this platter and spin it till it made any sense! YOU MUST HEAR WHAT THE MIRROR SEES YOU MUST PLEDGE WHAT THE PLEDGER SOUNDS
	9:06pm Mayuko: Greetings, Mr. Flash Strap, Gary and all!
	9:07pm Flash Strap: "If people die, it is not pure music's fault.... pure music is real sincerity, sound & truth" that's the WFMU promise
	9:07pm Gary: Just FYI, the next pledger could walk away with THREE prizes pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:08pm Gary: Welcome, Mayuko!
	9:09pm Flash Strap: Beloved comrade Mayuko! So splendid to see you, sister! Mayuko's p e r f e c t, sublime show just one more reason to support WFMU
	9:10pm Flash Strap: oops don't worry, all is well: "do not adjust your set"
	9:11pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Thank you Jason, in Menomenee Falls, Wisconsin!
	9:11pm Uncle Michael: Greets and salutes!
	9:12pm hyde: "We are controlling transmission"
	9:13pm Doug Schulkind: Calling on all demons to pledge! It feels so damned good to do so! PLEDGE: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:14pm Minnesota Jeff: Uncle Michael -- I was skreetching along with Nazareth the other day listening to your recent archive.
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: Well, thanks for that, Jeff!
	9:19pm Gary: Less than an hour to show your love for this mind-expanding show! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:20pm Mayuko: (belated thank you for your kind comment, Evan!!!)
	9:21pm melinda: Evan I remember you saying something during last year's marathon encouraging us to think of our pledge $$ not just as dollars but as bullets for the resistance. I still think of them that way.
	9:21pm Flash Strap: Hi HI HI Uncle Michael! I only speak truths tonight, Mayuko
	9:24pm Uncle Michael: I think of pledge dollars as banality repellent.
	9:25pm Flash Strap: I'm glad Melinda! money is just paper unless you load it into the chamber of resistance-effort, in which case it transubstantiates into something more useful!
	9:25pm melinda: UM that too is an appropriate metaphor.
	9:25pm Flash Strap: indeed, Uncle. yes!
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: We fire our guns to overthrow this banality republic.
	9:27pm melinda: haha
	9:28pm Flash Strap: hahaha Oh Uncle. That rings extra true because I spent half the day explaining to high school freshman that Banana Republic is not JUST a clothing store
	9:29pm Doug Schulkind: Kyenkyen! Kyenkyen! Kyenkyen! Kyenkyen! What a massive cut. Hey, two premium-size pledges will put Explorers Room within a whisker of the goal. Make a $75 pledge right here right now and sign up for Flash Strap's sizzling collection MADNESS: THE FEAST OF THE DRUM-Percussive ritual sorcery, imitation voodoo, bongo fetishisms, ethnographic hallucinations, the rare authentic, and throbbing mysteries from exotica’s jungle night imaginary. PLEDGE HERE: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:30pm melinda: I wonder why someone thought it was a good idea to give that name to the clothing store.
	9:30pm just julia: i wanted to badly to send some digital dollars down WFMU way today, sorry the 'net didn't cooperate! soon as i can give, i will give
	9:31pm Flash Strap: yeah, it's patently offensive. they did make some good stuff, but damn people
	9:31pm Jeff Golick: What up, peeps.
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: It turned out they were right. The chain thrives and kids don't get it about United Fruit at all.
	9:32pm melinda: hi Jeff
	9:32pm Uncle Michael: It's not even Easter yet, Jeff.
	9:32pm Flash Strap: Just Julia is a true friend of WFMU all drummers know this no worries sister
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: We're less than $13k away from finding out who Zone 5 Greg kills next.
	9:34pm Jeff Golick: ...and yet Peeps are already out in force. In Oreos, even! Hi, @melinda!
	9:35pm Jeff Golick: Can't believe I missed all that Ra and Cohran!
	9:35pm Uncle Michael: Peeps in Oreos?
	9:35pm Flash Strap: Hi and hello Jeff! They get it now, Uncle! at least these ones do. Eyes like saucers. You gotta tell the story bloody, with passion not that they'll quit shopping, but one step at a time
	9:36pm Jeff Golick: Oh, it's been a whole thing, @UM: www.buzzfeed.com...
	9:36pm Uncle Michael: Oreo Peep poop: nbc4i.com...
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: those kids are lucky to have you Evan (even if some of them only give a shit for a few years of their lives.)
	9:41pm Gary: This must have on vinyl is yours for $20 pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:41pm Doug Schulkind: Pound those pledge-nails in the coffin of the Man, my friends! We have to stick together now more than ever. We can't do it without you and your prospects doing it without us are fairly grim, no? Hand and hand, we will continue this journey together. Merrily we stream along... PLEDGE: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:42pm Gary: Love your description of the Dorker Vibes!
	9:43pm hyde: i love this Sun City Girls record
	9:43pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Thank you Tim in Oak Ridge, Tennessee!
	9:44pm Flash Strap: Thanks, C.! They're nominally quakers, so the hope is that they'll carry it forward into life for actual real. who knows, mileage varies
	9:45pm Flash Strap: Doug: that was beautiful PLEDGE FOR THE SAKE OF DOUG'S BEAUTY DOUG IS SO BEAUTIFUL, he's full of stars I swear to god
	9:45pm Uncle Michael: Brothers and sisters , I wanna see a sea of pledges out there... I want everybody to kick up some cash , I wanna hear some revolution... Brothers and sisters , the time has come for each and every one of you to decide whether you are going to be the problem or you are going to be the solution! You must choose , brothers , you must choose. It takes five seconds , five seconds of decision , five seconds to realize your purpose here on the planet. It takes five seconds to realize that its time to move , it's time to get down with it. Brothers , it's time to pledge. And I want to know - are you ready to pledge ? Are you ready !! I give you a testimonial. GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO !!
	9:46pm Flash Strap: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TIM BLESS YOUR TENNESSEE HOME TIM
	9:46pm Doug Schulkind: Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
	9:47pm Flash Strap: Testify, UNCLE MIIIIIIIIIICHAEL IT IS TIME TO GET DOWN WITH IT
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER DRUMMER!
	9:47pm Gary: A mere quarter of the way to the goal! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:49pm Gary: So close ... so close ...!
	9:50pm Mayuko: This Médico Doktor Vibes is so good.
	9:50pm melinda: I love this song.
	9:51pm slawooy: ive donated a mouse pledge tonight and dedicated it to the whole station but thought it would show up in your account. you've played brilliant shows recently. GDR stream has become equally important to me just as the main stream. global grease, bodega ifyoulooseyourhorse and others...man im totally hooked..sorry the money didnt occur on your account.cheers to you and everyone from djs to volunteers
	9:51pm Minnesota Jeff: DORKER VIBES, amazing

	9:56pm Gary: One last pledge! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:56pm Dean: I can't even listen right now, but I thought you ought to know how the comments read independent of the audio. There's UM talking about "it takes five seconds," and Gary proclaiming, "So close...," and Doug talking about a "steaming cauldron of love," and I'm suddenly wondering whether WFMU has gone full hard-core.
	9:56pm Little Danny: Rage on my friends: wfmu.org... Please join us!
	9:56pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Thank you Dean in Berkeley, CA!
	9:56pm Dean: Oh, for crying out loud, "come come come..."!

	9:57pm coelacanth∅: i wish i could pledge twice this program. last year i went to 280 or 300... (beyond my s4L). i might as well've done a mouse. i don't know yet if that's even close to possible this year.
	9:57pm northguineahills: Come on Flashsters!
	9:57pm Little Danny: Evan: take as long as you need!

	9:58pm melinda: haha! @Dean: the reference to the steaming cauldron of love grabbed my attention, too.
	9:58pm Uncle Michael: Dean, this is always full hardcore!

View Flash Strap's profile

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

	8:11pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Richard in Highland, NY, thank you!
	8:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Gary and other Explorers
	8:14pm Gary: Money where mouth is! :-0
	8:14pm melinda: Woo wee! This will give me the necessary push to get a new receiver and set up my turntable.
	8:15pm hyde: Charles Laughton is amazing
	🥁 8:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Are we not men?'
	8:16pm Gary: Pledge for this incredible film on Blu-Ray! pledge.wfmu.org...
	8:16pm Little Danny: Ahhh, thanks Evan! And congrats, Melinda, I can think of none worthier!
	🥁 8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Puts me in mind of a favorite book : 'The Monster Show - a Cultural History of Horror' by David J. Skal. I wish it were much larger...
	8:19pm coelacanth∅: ah, does that mean i won the other prize? i wasn't sure of what i heard...
	8:20pm Gary: Coelacanth, you got the Creation Rebel New Steppers LP
	8:20pm Gary: OMG, RevRab, you called it!
	8:21pm hyde: @Rev Rab hmmmm, i need to read that. second time i've heard it referenced this week.
	8:22pm coelacanth∅: Woowee! Thanks! that stuff was killer the bit i heard of it.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: Wow wow wow: Hi Coelacanth! Hi RevRab!
	8:24pm Flash Strap: LOVE this track, Guy Warren is a drumgod
	8:26pm Gary: Loving the premium cuts, Evan
	8:27pm coelacanth∅: i'm thinking that folks who listen to other radio stations that have fund drives would probably not believe it if i told them that i bookmark (gold-star) some marathon episodes for future enjoyment.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: It's such a crazy movie! I really can't say enough about what a brilliant, twisted performance Laughton puts down. He reclines, heftily and very louche, on a gurney and proclaims his hubris and makes of it a greatest-of-all-time acting moment instead of another villain monologue (which it is, but still)
	8:27pm hyde: "All you have shall some day be given. Therefore give now when the season of your giving is yours" -- Ghanaba
	8:28pm doctorjazz: Busy at work but enjoying the sounds, take you with me in the car, thanks!
	8:28pm Flash Strap: I hardly believe, it, C! Thanks Gary! Hey, it's an orgy of savagely pounded skins, what's not to love?
	8:29pm Flash Strap: always a pleasure to go on a ride with you, Doc
	8:33pm melinda: @coel: it's an interesting phenomenon, the high entertainment quality of FMU marathon shows. It's one of the things that got me to listen more.
	8:38pm Minnesota Jeff: Awesome premium cover, evan!
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Hi Minnesota Jeff! Thank you my pineapple brother
	8:41pm Flash Strap: I can't believe he had so many kids that they could form a brass band! And it's not even all of them!
	8:41pm Gary: Sure, pledge to win this amazing album, but pledge to say thank you to one of the smartest DJs on the air! pledge.wfmu.org...
	8:41pm Minnesota Jeff: Oddly I was listening to an old episode of Gilbert Gottfrieds podcast today and they talked about the woeful remake of Island of Lost Souls w/ Brando and Val Kilmer.
	8:43pm hyde: there's a cool looking hour long thing on Vimeo by Steven Feld that has Ghanaba aka Guy Warren doing an African drum version of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. The rest of it is an interview with him. Looks promising: vimeo.com...
	8:44pm Flash Strap: I actually love that version as well, MN Jeff! Brando is savage in it, and Kilmer is so cruel in imitating him! I watch it all the time, haha it is pretty awful in a lot of ways, esp. the 3rd act
	8:44pm Gary: Whoa, vocals?
	8:45pm hyde: there's a documentary about the making of that Lost Souls remake, but i haven't seen it
	8:46pm Minnesota Jeff: It had a notorious production, evan. Director changes mid-production, Brando re-writing the script, Kilmer deciding requesting his role be diminished by 60%, etc
	8:46pm Flash Strap: Aw shucks, Gary! Gotta see that, Hyde!
	8:48pm Flash Strap: @Gary, re: vocals - yeah! right? just plain and serious one of my favorite songs, ever. @Jeff: Oh boy, I know! I'd love to see the thing that could have been, but as it stands it's one of the most engrossing failures there is
	8:51pm Flash Strap: y'all, tonight Explorers Room is 67% of the way to it's goal and if you pledge now, you not only help us get closer to 1 hundo per cent, you could stand to win MULTIPLE prizes!
	8:51pm Gary: This track alone is worth a $20 pledge!
	8:53pm Gary: In all seriousness, this show is one of my favorite things in the universe
	8:54pm Scraps: Kilmer is so good when he pulls out the stops; hearing that Kilmer decided that he needed to minimize his role is sad
	8:57pm geezerette: Westmore. They were a dynasty. That film was made when Fascism was eating Europe.
	8:59pm Gary: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:02pm Flash Strap: @G: yes, Westmore! they were, there was a whole passel of Westmores @Scraps: what Kilmer you get is absolutely vicious, some of his best work, completely electric @Gary: the feeling is mutual. No one themes like you do, man, no one is more radical and inclusive
	9:04pm geezerette: Wally Westmore filmography. Jaw dropping! See 'em all! en.wikipedia.org...
	9:04pm Flash Strap: c'mon, you know you'd love to sit down with this platter and spin it till it made any sense! YOU MUST HEAR WHAT THE MIRROR SEES YOU MUST PLEDGE WHAT THE PLEDGER SOUNDS
	9:06pm Mayuko: Greetings, Mr. Flash Strap, Gary and all!
	9:07pm Flash Strap: "If people die, it is not pure music's fault.... pure music is real sincerity, sound & truth" that's the WFMU promise
	9:07pm Gary: Just FYI, the next pledger could walk away with THREE prizes pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:08pm Gary: Welcome, Mayuko!
	9:09pm Flash Strap: Beloved comrade Mayuko! So splendid to see you, sister! Mayuko's p e r f e c t, sublime show just one more reason to support WFMU
	9:10pm Flash Strap: oops don't worry, all is well: "do not adjust your set"
	9:11pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Thank you Jason, in Menomenee Falls, Wisconsin!
	9:11pm Uncle Michael: Greets and salutes!
	9:12pm hyde: "We are controlling transmission"
	9:13pm Doug Schulkind: Calling on all demons to pledge! It feels so damned good to do so! PLEDGE: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:14pm Minnesota Jeff: Uncle Michael -- I was skreetching along with Nazareth the other day listening to your recent archive.
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: Well, thanks for that, Jeff!
	9:19pm Gary: Less than an hour to show your love for this mind-expanding show! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:20pm Mayuko: (belated thank you for your kind comment, Evan!!!)
	9:21pm melinda: Evan I remember you saying something during last year's marathon encouraging us to think of our pledge $$ not just as dollars but as bullets for the resistance. I still think of them that way.
	9:21pm Flash Strap: Hi HI HI Uncle Michael! I only speak truths tonight, Mayuko
	9:24pm Uncle Michael: I think of pledge dollars as banality repellent.
	9:25pm Flash Strap: I'm glad Melinda! money is just paper unless you load it into the chamber of resistance-effort, in which case it transubstantiates into something more useful!
	9:25pm melinda: UM that too is an appropriate metaphor.
	9:25pm Flash Strap: indeed, Uncle. yes!
	9:26pm Uncle Michael: We fire our guns to overthrow this banality republic.
	9:27pm melinda: haha
	9:28pm Flash Strap: hahaha Oh Uncle. That rings extra true because I spent half the day explaining to high school freshman that Banana Republic is not JUST a clothing store
	9:29pm Doug Schulkind: Kyenkyen! Kyenkyen! Kyenkyen! Kyenkyen! What a massive cut. Hey, two premium-size pledges will put Explorers Room within a whisker of the goal. Make a $75 pledge right here right now and sign up for Flash Strap's sizzling collection MADNESS: THE FEAST OF THE DRUM-Percussive ritual sorcery, imitation voodoo, bongo fetishisms, ethnographic hallucinations, the rare authentic, and throbbing mysteries from exotica’s jungle night imaginary. PLEDGE HERE: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:30pm melinda: I wonder why someone thought it was a good idea to give that name to the clothing store.
	9:30pm just julia: i wanted to badly to send some digital dollars down WFMU way today, sorry the 'net didn't cooperate! soon as i can give, i will give
	9:31pm Flash Strap: yeah, it's patently offensive. they did make some good stuff, but damn people
	9:31pm Jeff Golick: What up, peeps.
	9:31pm Uncle Michael: It turned out they were right. The chain thrives and kids don't get it about United Fruit at all.
	9:32pm melinda: hi Jeff
	9:32pm Uncle Michael: It's not even Easter yet, Jeff.
	9:32pm Flash Strap: Just Julia is a true friend of WFMU all drummers know this no worries sister
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: We're less than $13k away from finding out who Zone 5 Greg kills next.
	9:34pm Jeff Golick: ...and yet Peeps are already out in force. In Oreos, even! Hi, @melinda!
	9:35pm Jeff Golick: Can't believe I missed all that Ra and Cohran!
	9:35pm Uncle Michael: Peeps in Oreos?
	9:35pm Flash Strap: Hi and hello Jeff! They get it now, Uncle! at least these ones do. Eyes like saucers. You gotta tell the story bloody, with passion not that they'll quit shopping, but one step at a time
	9:36pm Jeff Golick: Oh, it's been a whole thing, @UM: www.buzzfeed.com...
	9:36pm Uncle Michael: Oreo Peep poop: nbc4i.com...
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: those kids are lucky to have you Evan (even if some of them only give a shit for a few years of their lives.)
	9:41pm Gary: This must have on vinyl is yours for $20 pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:41pm Doug Schulkind: Pound those pledge-nails in the coffin of the Man, my friends! We have to stick together now more than ever. We can't do it without you and your prospects doing it without us are fairly grim, no? Hand and hand, we will continue this journey together. Merrily we stream along... PLEDGE: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:42pm Gary: Love your description of the Dorker Vibes!
	9:43pm hyde: i love this Sun City Girls record
	9:43pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Thank you Tim in Oak Ridge, Tennessee!
	9:44pm Flash Strap: Thanks, C.! They're nominally quakers, so the hope is that they'll carry it forward into life for actual real. who knows, mileage varies
	9:45pm Flash Strap: Doug: that was beautiful PLEDGE FOR THE SAKE OF DOUG'S BEAUTY DOUG IS SO BEAUTIFUL, he's full of stars I swear to god
	9:45pm Uncle Michael: Brothers and sisters , I wanna see a sea of pledges out there... I want everybody to kick up some cash , I wanna hear some revolution... Brothers and sisters , the time has come for each and every one of you to decide whether you are going to be the problem or you are going to be the solution! You must choose , brothers , you must choose. It takes five seconds , five seconds of decision , five seconds to realize your purpose here on the planet. It takes five seconds to realize that its time to move , it's time to get down with it. Brothers , it's time to pledge. And I want to know - are you ready to pledge ? Are you ready !! I give you a testimonial. GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO !!
	9:46pm Flash Strap: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TIM BLESS YOUR TENNESSEE HOME TIM

	9:47pm Uncle Michael: KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER DRUMMER!
	9:47pm Gary: A mere quarter of the way to the goal! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:49pm Gary: So close ... so close ...!
	9:50pm Mayuko: This Médico Doktor Vibes is so good.
	9:50pm melinda: I love this song.
	9:51pm slawooy: ive donated a mouse pledge tonight and dedicated it to the whole station but thought it would show up in your account. you've played brilliant shows recently. GDR stream has become equally important to me just as the main stream. global grease, bodega ifyoulooseyourhorse and others...man im totally hooked..sorry the money didnt occur on your account.cheers to you and everyone from djs to volunteers
	9:51pm Minnesota Jeff: DORKER VIBES, amazing

	9:56pm Gary: One last pledge! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:56pm Dean: I can't even listen right now, but I thought you ought to know how the comments read independent of the audio. There's UM talking about "it takes five seconds," and Gary proclaiming, "So close...," and Doug talking about a "steaming cauldron of love," and I'm suddenly wondering whether WFMU has gone full hard-core.
	9:56pm Little Danny: Rage on my friends: wfmu.org... Please join us!
	9:56pm Gary: PLEDGE ALERT: Thank you Dean in Berkeley, CA!
	9:56pm Dean: Oh, for crying out loud, "come come come..."!

	9:57pm Little Danny: Evan: take as long as you need!
