Listener comments!
	3:05am Jim the Poet: FIRST
	🌮 3:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Jim. I'm sure I heard a song long ago with lyrics "Nuclear attack," but I have no idea what was the song title or the artist. I found nothing helpful in Google.
	3:08am Jim the Poet: it's the effort that counts
	3:08am Jeff in Whately: Hi Jim. Sleepless on the couch , fancy meetin' you here.
	3:10am Jim the Poet: Hey Jeff!
	3:10am chad from oregon: FOURTH
	3:11am Jim the Poet: HANG IN THERE WEST COAST
	3:13am miketp: king rootin tootin
	3:14am chad from oregon: Hanging on with fire and fury!
	3:16am Vincent Nifigance: SIXTH!
	3:19am Jim the Poet: Hey Vincent where you listening from
	3:25am chad from oregon: We'll all be Forever Young... because after nuclear annihilation, we won't age! It's winning all around!
	3:26am Jim the Poet: You see the pattern that's forming here
	3:27am Vincent Nifigance: I Jim, I am outside the likely blast radius, here in rainy Manchester, England.
	3:28am chad from oregon: And then the final twenty minutes of the show melts down into some Metal Machine Music!
	3:29am Jim the Poet: The last hour of the Show is just Metal Machine Music
	3:30am chad from oregon: I'm totally staying up now.
	3:33am Jim the Poet: STAY OUT OF THE BLAST RADIUS
	3:34am chad from oregon: I think that was on one of the mid-90's Tears For Fears albums.
	3:35am chad from oregon: Stay Out Of The Blast Radius (Of My Love), Josephine
	3:45am Vincent Nifigance: Can you play 'Drop That Bomb' by Tiffany off her sophomore effort 'Hold An Old Friend's Hand'?
	3:46am Vincent Nifigance: Yes it's the one preceded by 'Walk Away While You Can'!!! Either one would do.
	3:52am Vincent Nifigance: Okay, the titular track from Megadeth's Rust In Peace.
	4:01am Vincent Nifigance: NO FUCKING WAY!!
	4:03am Vincent Nifigance: Thanks Jim!!! Gah, so prescient, she never gets her due.
	4:08am Jim the Poet: She's deep
	4:34am Vincent Nifigance: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
	4:38am basement: then trump is the quidzack shadarack!!!
	4:41am Vincent Nifigance: @basement He always reminded me of Baron Harkonnen, but yes!
	4:45am basement: Panic in the world : Bill Nelson
	4:49am chad from oregon: Only twelve minutes until the blast radius brings us the Metal Machine Music.
	4:53am Jim the Poet: I think if I play it all I may fall asleep
	4:54am Vincent Nifigance: It's decided then.
	5:00am Vincent Nifigance: Give it to me.
	5:00am future transport: its good
	5:02am Jim the Poet: METAL MACHINE ME
	5:03am Smilty69: Good morning, all. How about an old John Sterling call "An A-bomb from A Rod!"
	5:10am future transport: JOYOUS
	5:10am Jim the Poet: I was wrong. It makes me feel alive.
	5:13am Sem Chumbo: Been along for the last hour, Jim. Pretty great. Thank you.
	5:14am Jim the Poet: Thanks Sem!
	5:18am J Dream: Ahhhhhhhh! You weren't kidding. I love this record so much...
	5:20am Jim the Poet: I wouldn't kid about Metal Machine Music
	5:20am J Dream: It's such a complete work. Too easily dismissed. Listen to this! Is glorious!!!!
	5:23am J Dream: The elusive, hallowed 8 track version of this really is the ideal format for this. Realizing
	5:23am Jim the Poet: Yeah, I'm not sure why it's still never gotten the respect it deserves. I used to love to listen to it on the Subway.
	5:26am J Dream: I think the myth around it being Lou's "fuck you" to get out of contract is a bit conflated. It's not for everyone so I guess easy to dismiss. Similarly, I loved his new age record much later. Everyone laughed...
	5:27am Vincent Nifigance: I didn't even think Lulu was bad.
	5:27am J Dream: I really liked Lulu actually
	5:28am Vincent Nifigance: I think more than ever we live in a society that just enjoys feverishly liking and disliking certain things depending on what sort of cultural currency it has/how it makes them appear to others.
	5:28am J Dream: *Hudson River Wind Meditations is the "new age" record. It's excellent
	5:29am hOLLYWOOD BILL: This sounds so good, Thanks! Early Modern Lovers would help as well
	5:30am Jim the Poet: They would
	5:32am b k: I once owned "Metal Machine Music" on 8 track. It was in the 99 cent bin and I kept it with me to put in friends 8 track car players to make the Led Zeppelin stop. I did not have an 8 track player but it was still well worth the 99 cents.
	5:34am Jim the Poet: How was the sound on 8 tracks?
	5:34am J Dream: Hey, I'm just a really big Lou fan. Have been for years. I tend to enjoy his more severe oddball excursions more as I get older. True artist. Gave no shits. That's more and more rare these days.
	5:35am hOLLYWOOD BILL: Hey b k- Do you still have it, and what's the price?
	5:35am J Dream: Whoa you scored it for 99 cents????
	5:37am J Dream: Rare one
	5:39am b k: I bought it for 99 cents in 1977!!! Same time I bought Be Bop DeLuxes' "Sunburst Finish" in the 99 cent bin.
	5:40am hOLLYWOOD BILL: It was a very good year
	5:42am b k: oh, the sound on ANY 8 track was horrid.
	5:42am basement: Truly doth remind one of sir glen campbell shorting out on the lineman he of late
	5:45am Marcel M: nice metal machine Thanks for jumping in, Jim! I'm on my way to Seattle
	5:46am Jim the Poet: Marcel! Clay says hi!
	5:48am Sometimes Jasmine: Man this is immensely joyous, what a treat. I'm refusing to take phone calls whilst this is playing.
	5:49am Vincent Nifigance: There should be an installation of as close to Lou's original MMM set-up as can be replicated, permanently installed in NYC somewhere, where it can generate itself forever. Might have to be in a disused subway station to minimise disturbance, but still, it's the thought that counts!
	5:50am Jim the Poet: Glad you guys enjoyed it!
	5:52am Vincent Nifigance: Dance, Clay, DANCE!
	5:54am Marcel M: yo clay!
	5:54am Davee: Where am I?
	5:56am basement: when does ringo get to sing? Ive got blisters on me earlobes
	5:59am jess: what is this? I bet Clay opens with a Glen Campbell song. wanna bet?
