	♥ 12:06am sberger: Morning Jeff...That Becky Ryan is scarce. Loved the cut.
	12:09am saucerful: Great version of "A Heart Needs a Home"! Love the harp...
	♥ 12:11am Aitch: Mellow fellow tonight JC, what's up?
	♥ 12:11am sberger: Rare lp night...
	12:19am AdamFromOldeKenzo: I remember when I was a kid my grandparents had a Charles Schulz Peanuts book called Happiness Is A Sad Song, and I was like "that doesn't make sense", but now it does.
	♥ 12:24am Aitch: Eurodisco Jeff, always brings an ironic smile
	♥ 12:27am Aitch: www.youtube.com...
	12:30am sarahinflorida: happy noise :)
	12:44am Number Six: Good Evening, Jeff & All! Enjoying this evenings selections.
	12:52am Hippie Jesus: Tonight, I’m thankful for this first hour!
	12:56am MONEYBAG$: Imagine supplying John Fahey's needs
	1:05am saucerful: You are impatient Jeff! I'm in the middle of writing a question...Is the version of "A Heart Needs a Home" that's on Hokey Pokey the first version of that song?
	1:06am yippie: i saw acid mothers temple on mothers day; they wrecked the place
	1:10am Jeff Conklin: @saucerful: I believe so
	1:11am saucerful: Interrrrestingggg...
	1:12am zenkoan: Hi Jeff--lurking but loving it as always. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving and are doing well tonight.
	1:12am Eric Hat: I high on believing.
	1:12am Jeff Conklin: Just gearing up for a cold, cold, cold winter
	1:15am zenkoan: Thought I detected a bit of a blue note in your voice before...perhaps you are speaking metaphorically about the cold x 3 winter approaching
	1:16am zenkoan: Oh--I get it now
	1:20am saucerful: The winter chill is perfect for hybernating, drinking tea, reading, listening to music, cooking at home, etc. (whether you're coupled up or not).
	1:22am DARCEY LEONARD: It's warm in LA.
	1:23am Jeff Conklin: I'm talking about the real cold and the existential one.
	1:23am Jeff Conklin: If/when WFMU opens up shop in LA, I'll gladly move. This is all that keeps me in new york
	1:25am Agent Peter: or new jersey, presumably...
	1:30am zenkoan: Have you spent much time in LA, Jeff? I have ( as well as in NYC) and, though the LA weather in winter may beat NY's, a soulful, introspective fellow like yourself might find LA pretty lacking in that department (apologies to above poster in LA, but still)
	1:31am AdamFromOldeKenzo: I predict...warm East Coast winter.
	1:32am Jeff Conklin: I've spent maybe a month total in Los Angeles. It's appeal to me is the closeness of the ocean and the mountains. As a "city", well, it seems to have what one requires of such a construct.
	1:35am zenkoan: Would be a great spot without all the superficial/habitually insincere people and absurd traffic.
	1:36am kyle landstra: wow never heard this track by the dead before. love it.
	1:36am Jeff Conklin: I still have a little daydreaming left in me but the reality is ill most likely die cold and miserable in NYC
	1:36am saucerful: Zenkoan, don't believe the bad hype about LA.
	1:37am kyle landstra: ahh cover. makes sense.
	1:37am Jeff Conklin: @kyle: Not played after 1969, and not much when it was in rotation.
	1:38am zenkoan: I know it's not applicable to everyone there, saucerful, but in my experience there's more than a grain of truth underlying the stereotype, unfortunately
	1:38am rw: Hello! Not everybody in Los Angeles is superficial and insincere, but the traffic IS absurd and I think that does keep people from connecting because it's so difficult to get around.
	1:39am DARCEY LEONARD: Agreed. LA ain't so bad and when it is you sit in the sunshine and don't care. I lived here before and it's a great time here right now. Why do you think al those Cali jams are so laid back?
	1:39am zenkoan: Besides, I'm willing to bet that Mr. Conklin fully realizes that contentment, or its absence, is far more a function of state of mind than state of residence.
	1:40am saucerful: Amen
	1:41am Jeff Conklin: Yes. I've been discontent long enough where I am, might as well see what discontent is somewhere else.
	1:41am zenkoan: China Rider on the way? Or just China? Love it either way!!
	1:42am rw: Jeff, if you're ever in LA I'll buy you a taco.
	1:44am zenkoan: I hope a small bit of the discontent is ameliorated by the knowledge that your carefully curated shows generate contentment for many every single week.
	1:46am saucerful: Yeah, feeling contented right now. That was a smoking hot guitar lead on China Cat. I'm imagining I'm at the Fillmore West in '69.
	1:47am saucerful: Think how high everyone in California is going to be after Jan 1st. LOL
	1:49am Jeff Conklin: @zen: It is
	1:49am saucerful: Marijuana becomes legalized in California Jan. 1st for those not aware.
	1:51am Jeff Conklin: That's not a selling point for me
	1:51am saucerful: hahahah
	1:52am rw: Saucerful, my daughter's in Boulder where marijuana is legal. She sent a text yesterday that said, "Lots of parents who are in town for the holidays are getting their Colorado weed on. It's an interesting scene." Accompanied by a photo she stole of a stoned looking soccer-type mom holding a frappuccino.
	1:52am saucerful: That's hilarious!
	1:54am saucerful: Jeff, just goes to show being a head is also a state of mind...
	1:55am Jeff Conklin: Absolutley
	1:59am rw: I've got to put my head in a state of sleep for a few hours. Thanks Mr. Conklin! Good night kids!
	♥ 2:00am Andrew Waterloo: Canada has to wait until summer
	2:02am saucerful: Jeff "bummer" Conklin
	2:05am AdamFromOldeKenzo: It is interesting how sad songs are cool to listen to even if you aren't sad....
	2:07am zenkoan: And if you are sad (and isn't every adult, on some level, a mixture of sad and other states, having lived life for some time?), those songs are very cathartic and ultimately healing
	2:12am Jeff Conklin: Yeah i mean sad songs always sounded good to me. they just sound GREAT lately.
	2:12am AdamFromOldeKenzo: yep!
	2:16am zenkoan: I'm a very nocturnal person myself (obviously, since I listen to this show every week!), but I try to adjust my schedule a little when the days get shorter so I can get more sunlight, which supports my mood. Also use one of those 10,000 lux lamps in my house to compensate for less sun exposure.
	2:30am Mark R: Diggin' this spacey "Electric Blend," man.
	2:40am saucerful: The only thing we can be certain of is change.
	2:47am AdamFromOldeKenzo: ...or for things to be the same for a while..
	2:47am AdamFromOldeKenzo: ha ha not really.
	2:48am saucerful: :-)
	2:56am Jeff Conklin: Be well, everyone, see you next time.
	1:51pm JD sr: Beautiful stuff Jeff, till next time.
