	👻 3:02pm βrian: Ooh, it's nice to plunge into this field of orange.
	3:03pm Dean: The painting is signed by Pablo's brother Gary.
	3:03pm Itzall Ablurr: Brian, that thought just occurred to me. Always looks like this song sounds!
	👻 3:04pm βrian: Not Geraldo?
	3:04pm Wild Neil: Billy Bob Thornton said he really admired Don Knotts commitment to the characters he played. PEACE all.
	3:06pm Hoboken Jack: Irwin! Bronwyn! Frenchie, wherever you are. Hello to all!
	3:06pm Wild Neil: This riff sounds a lot like "I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so..." song.
	3:06pm BronwynB: hey jack :D
	3:06pm thatpatsmith: Irwin! Hey there!
	👻 3:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, cool! "Is this new Jethro Tull?"
	3:10pm Carmichael: The marathon has started? I've been off-air (off-life, really) the past week.
	3:10pm Wild Neil: I really like music math and approximate music guessing like that Ken.
	3:10pm Itzall Ablurr: Speaking of the marathon... what do you need to do if you already support monthly? Anything? Nothing? Plotz?
	3:12pm Laura L: No wonder Elisha Cook Jr. looks sad--somebody shot a paint gun at him, sheesh!
	3:12pm Dean: Dominant paradigm? Infinite regression? False equivalency!
	3:13pm Dean: Mentioned earlier on a comment board today, but worth repeating: story today in NYT about Julius Eastman.
	👻 3:15pm βrian: @Itzall: I think it's automatically renewed and a message is sent to confirm.
	3:17pm Kat in Chicago: @Itzall I heard on earlier shows today that the email is supposed to go out today to Swag4Lifers. Haven't seen mine yet,
	3:18pm Kat in Chicago: The renewal is automatic for sure, if you need to adjust anything Joe McGasko takes care of that.
	3:20pm Itzall Ablurr: Joe. Of course. It's always Joe who helps.
	👻 3:20pm βrian: Thanks, Dean www.nytimes.com...
	3:21pm Lixiviated Life: Aren't all records somewhat wonderful?
	👻 3:22pm βrian: Cafe owners should offer matching funds for tip jars.
	3:22pm Lixiviated Life: stop feeling
	3:24pm Dean: Until last year where I buy coffee a cup cost $1.70. I routinely handed over two bucks, put the quarter in the tip jar and the nickel in my pocket. Come the New Year the price went up to two bucks. Now I have to dig a quarter out of my change pocket or, worse, leave nothing because I have no change.
	3:24pm Dean: Er, until late last year...
	👻 3:24pm βrian: Don't forswear; swear!
	3:24pm fletchernyc: And overdose on adverbs
	3:30pm Wild Neil: Non-contradictory oxymoron is a meta joke. And so is this!
	3:33pm Dean: I never μετα...
	3:34pm Chud: I love it when my twin loves of WFMU and Matt Berry line up
	👻 3:37pm AnAnonymousParty: Shouldn't one quack when one ducks and covers?
	3:37pm yippie: did Rihanna change her name to RIAA
	3:37pm ɨkɛ: Good advice from Mr. Fab! We might need to duck and cover pretty soon when the orange maniac starts a nuclear war, so let's get ready!
	3:38pm Dean: INSTRUCTIONS TO PATRONS ON PREMISES IN CASE OF NUCLEAR BOMB ATTACK http://www.dpvintageposters.com/cgi-local/detail.cgi?d=2469
	👻 3:38pm βrian: Extra whipped cream on my Pleasant Valley Sunday, please.
	3:40pm Itzall Ablurr: Dear AnAnonymousParty- yes, you should always Quack your A## Goodbye in that event.
	👻 3:40pm βrian: "Send my mouth way down south ..."
	3:40pm yippie: cause im the cunnilingus champion from company c
	3:46pm Wild Neil: That's kinda dirty, yippie. I think we can swear in here, but THAT is really kinda I don't know how to put it.....
	3:46pm yippie: yeah i think that song is illegal
	3:47pm Itzall Ablurr: "Bad form" I believe would be the operative term.
	3:48pm yippie: like an exception to making parodies if you make your parody too dirty its illegal thats why weird al cant make songs about sex
	3:48pm Joel St. Germain: Lot of great tunes today, Irwin
	3:50pm Irwin: Thank you, Other Joel. (My older bro's name is Joel. He's Joel #1.)
	3:54pm Kat in Chicago: Aren't marvelous and tasteless adjectives?
	3:54pm The Oscar: Afternoon all! Snuff Box permanently changed the way I say "Fuck you."
	3:56pm rsj: a shower? maybe a golden dog shower
	3:56pm mrdonutsu: Speaking of the end of the world: It's a snow day in Portland, OR.
	3:57pm stalvey: end of the world stuff a bummer-but i just saved big on car insurance so...
	3:57pm ɨkɛ: Zzzzzzzzz. Is this interminable inevitable conservative advocacy for smokestacks and a return to 70s smog actually going somewhere? Get some new material. Now, the apocalypse of all adverbs, THAT'S an interesting premise. You should have developed that a bit more instead.
	3:58pm Tommy in Neversink: Thanks for that inspiring message Irwin
	3:58pm Irwin: So easy to trigger Ike.
	4:00pm ⓘⓚⓔ: It is! But that's also an old shtick for you, and I'm a terribly easy target. It's like shooting monkeys in a fishery, isn't it? Are you already done growing and changing, Irwin?
	4:00pm Dean: Notice how he didn't say "interminably inevitable" or "inevitably interminable"?
	4:01pm Dean: And without adverbs we wouldn't have as many Lee Konitz tunes.
	4:03pm jess: Will we ever hear Joe Frank again?
	4:08pm Irwin: Jess: Not soon. Complicated issue.
	4:11pm jess: I miss him
	👻 4:20pm βrian: The album named itself?
	4:27pm Irwin: Self-titled albums are narcissistic by self-definition.
	4:30pm Carmichael: So Tyler Perry is quite narcissistic.
	4:33pm Laura L: Thirlwell! Thanks, Irwin!
	👻 4:33pm βrian: I wrote a one-page essay titled "This Page Intentionally Left Blank"
	4:33pm joe mulligan: JG Thirlwell is so unmistakably unique
	4:36pm The Oscar: Nice to hear a less frequently quoted line from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
	4:36pm JFR: one man gang bang?
	4:37pm BronwynB: i can no longer listen to this without thinking that poor oscar & adam's pleas were not answered, and they were sent to space, as poe dameron and kylo ren respectively. looking forward to seeing JT as jar jar binks' nephew in episode IX.
	4:39pm Roberto: Is it acceptable to pre-favorite a track?
	4:39pm Roberto: We're about to find out.
	4:39pm berbo: This is the best thing ever invented.
	4:41pm Soul Captain: Two songs that should never be played on MU at the same time.
	4:42pm Itzall Ablurr: 3, technically.
	4:42pm mrdonutsu: Paul sounds like Mark Arm!
	4:43pm The Oscar: Every time I hear "Wonderful Christmastime" I remind myself that the man who wrote it also wrote a hard rock song brutal enough to inspire one of the most notorious crimes of the 20th century.
	4:44pm Lixiviated Life: how about maybe someday WFMU plays every song in the library at the same time. whats the worst that could happen?
	4:44pm andrewb: led zeppelin was a real good band
	4:44pm Roberto: YESS the fade-back-in too!
	4:46pm Hoboken Jack: @Bronwyn:ha!!
	4:48pm jess: that mashup is fucking awesome!
	4:49pm BronwynB: inside llewyn davis was derided? i liked it but would have liked it better if it had more to do with 60s folk and less to do with llewyn davis. but i guess that would have been a different movie.
	4:51pm Michael 98145: [ love, love those archives ... ]
	👻 4:52pm βrian: Instead of "marathon," maybe the WFMU season?
	4:53pm Michael 98145: please, -not- FMU-a-palooza
	4:54pm Irwin: By "unfairly derided," BB, I mean Ken didn't like it.
	👻 4:55pm βrian: WFMU Fortnight? Nah, that'll probably be dated before long.
	4:55pm judy from croton: Oh it’s a very Jack Bruce kind of day. Without the hard liquor.
	4:55pm Roberto: Jack! The cream of Cream.
	4:55pm Michael 98145: good to hear him again ...
	4:55pm Irwin: Did some wonderful stuff outside the power trio.
	4:57pm judy from croton: Dare I say it? The musical backbone of that trio.
	👻 4:58pm βrian: The WFMU Retreat? No, that seems to imply silence.
	5:02pm BronwynB: @irwin: hahaha
	5:02pm berbo: "The WFMU Literally Campaign"
	5:03pm Doobois: They Might Be Giants use a Mellotron sample of Jack Bruce's voice on their new album "I Like Fun," on the title track.
	5:03pm TDK60: Bruce was a great bassist and singer.
	5:03pm Hoboken Jack: Llewyn Davis tied in my personal rankings for best film of 2013 with The Spectacular Now.
	5:03pm James in ATL: What a terrific show today. Thanks so much Irwin.
	5:03pm Sean B.: Thanks for the perfect soundtrack to a sporadically uneven but great day. Hey I woke up today, And pillow faced; surrounded by music; Beats nonesuch.
	👻 5:04pm βrian: The WFMU Crusade. That's it.
	5:04pm Irwin: Thanks to Hoboken Jacques for intro'ing me to the dollar-store sounds of Ms. Green.
	5:07pm Dean: Just knew this was ECM.
	5:08pm Soul Captain: WFMU Compendium & Forecast
	5:11pm Sean B.: Saw Mr. Tyner at the Boston conservatory in the early 90s.
	5:18pm Sean B.: Adorable.
	5:19pm Roberto: My daughter was in a summer program where Beth was in residence in 2011. They didn't work together directly though.
	5:21pm berbo: "Give money to WFMU and get drunk by Noon".
	5:27pm TDK60: It's gotta be Blood Sweat & Tears.
	5:30pm common: blood sweat and tears! hello!
	5:30pm jan: 50 yrs! Melancholy washes over me. I heard this, just as you did. But the music sounds great!
	5:30pm kev: I went to the philmore easy to see Al,and to my surprise there was a fat Canadian taking his place. Jethro Tull on before
	5:31pm glenn: i have al's book [backstage passes and backstabbing bastards]. it's pretty good.
	5:31pm Irwin: Pretty good? It's a monumental bio. So well-written, and hilarious.
	5:32pm glenn: i understate things.
	5:33pm glenn: it's definitely better than any neil young book.
	5:33pm judy from croton: A fat canadian!! Haha; enjoyed that.
	5:33pm jan: And the bands Al played in before, Blues Project, and after, Electric Flag, and then Super Session are worth revisiting...
	5:34pm TDK60: Oh, forgot the comma after Blood.
	5:34pm Passaic River Blues: I thought Kooper did some of the work on the second BST record. I always liked the Satie stuff, but you are right that, post-Kooper, BST quickly became boring.
	5:34pm Listener Robert: REmember how Bob & Ray had John Simon the theater critic as the worst person in the world? I wonder what review he gave them to cause that reaction.
	5:37pm TDK60: I did see Blues Project once.
	5:37pm kev: it was disappointed but Tull was great
	5:38pm BronwynB: john simon sure is controversial, but when i contacted hundreds of theater critics to review a tiny production i was involved with, his 91-year-old self was one of the only people to actually give me the dignity of a reply. he declined, saying something along the lines of "if i give you a review they'll all want one," but he was very cordial.
	5:40pm Irwin: Different John Simon, just to clarify.
	5:41pm glenn: david c.t. was really a fat englishman, since he was born in blighty.
	5:41pm Irwin: This John Simon also produced the first Leonard Cohen album, another monumental project.
	5:41pm BronwynB: i know, i just like talking about my email encounter with the other john simon whenever i can shoehorn it in.
	5:41pm TDK60: This Simon also involved with The Band.
	5:42pm Irwin: Yep. Same guy. Still around.
	5:42pm BronwynB: my boyfriend's name is one letter away from being john simon.
	5:42pm Hoboken Jack: If more Blood Sweat & Tears songs sounded like this, I'd probably listen to them a whole lot more.
	5:43pm Dean: Simon on Bob & Ray: http://bit.ly/2BGJYFO
	5:43pm Listener Robert: John Simon's got to be one of the commonest English language names. Probably more than mine, Robert Goodman, but maybe less common than my friend, Nancy Wilson.
	5:44pm Passaic River Blues: I'm pretty sure my dad subscribed to New York Magazine just to read Simon reviews to plays he'd never see and either exclaim in agreement or rage in fulsome dissent.
	5:45pm Listener Robert: I chortled out loud just at the headline, Dean.
	5:45pm TDK60: Wonderful tune. // I celebrated many 1967 albums last year, like "Surrealistic Pillow" by Jefferson Airplane. I still celebrate them. 1968 was also a year full of fine music.
	5:45pm BronwynB: my name's not that common, but the weird thing about it is that the most famous person with my first name also has my last name.
	5:45pm debt collector: Blood sweat and TEARS
	5:46pm Fredericks: The produced version of "Modern Adventures..."brought to mind Love's Forever Changes.
	5:46pm Dean: There are six Irwin Chusids on my block alone. I work with four others.
	5:46pm Dave in Vermont: hey, dc- don't think I've ever seen you on here after dawn.
	5:47pm BronwynB: @dean: i suspect hyperbole
	5:47pm common: totally Fredericks. and this more of zombies.
	5:47pm Dave in Vermont: wait, is it before dawn, now?
	5:47pm Mister Eddie: Beautiful song. But I agree with the other band members about being included on the album. It was all Al, and he should of just kept it for himself.
	5:47pm Michael 98145: ... "ostrich-like escapism" ... :)
	5:48pm Dean: @BronwynB: I never, ever resort to hyperbole.
	5:48pm TDK60: Maybe Al could have let them add horn charts?
	5:49pm glenn: never ever implies some wiggle room.
	5:49pm BronwynB: @dean: but do you ever resort to ADVERBS
	5:50pm Dean: Frequently, obsessively, routinely. Hair s/t was '68.
	5:50pm kev: you did good Irwin
	5:51pm yippie: maybe a bugle chart
	5:51pm Dean: My favorite adverb: contumely.
	5:52pm Michael 98145: OUch: "The Two and Only [Bob & Ray] are not even radio any more, merely static."
	5:55pm Mike East: diggin' the show today, Irwin. That cut from the Llewyn Davis movie particularly made me smile.
	5:56pm Michael 98145: Thank you again, Irwin. Nowhere else is there radio like this.
	5:57pm Dean: Coulda just played "Conrad. It's Me, Erik," and the rest again. Not like we would have remembered them.
	6:03pm Fredericks: Showed up late. Liked what I heard.

	4:42pm Itzall Ablurr: 3, technically.
	4:42pm mrdonutsu: Paul sounds like Mark Arm!
	4:43pm The Oscar: Every time I hear "Wonderful Christmastime" I remind myself that the man who wrote it also wrote a hard rock song brutal enough to inspire one of the most notorious crimes of the 20th century.
	4:44pm Lixiviated Life: how about maybe someday WFMU plays every song in the library at the same time. whats the worst that could happen?
	4:44pm andrewb: led zeppelin was a real good band
	4:44pm Roberto: YESS the fade-back-in too!
	4:46pm Hoboken Jack: @Bronwyn:ha!!
	4:48pm jess: that mashup is fucking awesome!
	4:49pm BronwynB: inside llewyn davis was derided? i liked it but would have liked it better if it had more to do with 60s folk and less to do with llewyn davis. but i guess that would have been a different movie.
	4:51pm Michael 98145: [ love, love those archives ... ]
	👻 4:52pm βrian: Instead of "marathon," maybe the WFMU season?
	4:53pm Michael 98145: please, -not- FMU-a-palooza
	4:54pm Irwin: By "unfairly derided," BB, I mean Ken didn't like it.
	👻 4:55pm βrian: WFMU Fortnight? Nah, that'll probably be dated before long.
	4:55pm judy from croton: Oh it’s a very Jack Bruce kind of day. Without the hard liquor.
	4:55pm Roberto: Jack! The cream of Cream.
	4:55pm Michael 98145: good to hear him again ...
	4:55pm Irwin: Did some wonderful stuff outside the power trio.
	4:57pm judy from croton: Dare I say it? The musical backbone of that trio.
	👻 4:58pm βrian: The WFMU Retreat? No, that seems to imply silence.
	5:02pm BronwynB: @irwin: hahaha
	5:02pm berbo: "The WFMU Literally Campaign"
	5:03pm Doobois: They Might Be Giants use a Mellotron sample of Jack Bruce's voice on their new album "I Like Fun," on the title track.
	5:03pm TDK60: Bruce was a great bassist and singer.
	5:03pm Hoboken Jack: Llewyn Davis tied in my personal rankings for best film of 2013 with The Spectacular Now.
	5:03pm James in ATL: What a terrific show today. Thanks so much Irwin.
	5:03pm Sean B.: Thanks for the perfect soundtrack to a sporadically uneven but great day. Hey I woke up today, And pillow faced; surrounded by music; Beats nonesuch.
	👻 5:04pm βrian: The WFMU Crusade. That's it.
	5:04pm Irwin: Thanks to Hoboken Jacques for intro'ing me to the dollar-store sounds of Ms. Green.
	5:07pm Dean: Just knew this was ECM.
	5:08pm Soul Captain: WFMU Compendium & Forecast
	5:11pm Sean B.: Saw Mr. Tyner at the Boston conservatory in the early 90s.
	5:18pm Sean B.: Adorable.
	5:19pm Roberto: My daughter was in a summer program where Beth was in residence in 2011. They didn't work together directly though.
	5:21pm berbo: "Give money to WFMU and get drunk by Noon".
	5:27pm TDK60: It's gotta be Blood Sweat & Tears.
	5:30pm common: blood sweat and tears! hello!
	5:30pm jan: 50 yrs! Melancholy washes over me. I heard this, just as you did. But the music sounds great!
	5:30pm kev: I went to the philmore easy to see Al,and to my surprise there was a fat Canadian taking his place. Jethro Tull on before
	5:31pm glenn: i have al's book [backstage passes and backstabbing bastards]. it's pretty good.
	5:31pm Irwin: Pretty good? It's a monumental bio. So well-written, and hilarious.
	5:32pm glenn: i understate things.
	5:33pm glenn: it's definitely better than any neil young book.
	5:33pm judy from croton: A fat canadian!! Haha; enjoyed that.
	5:33pm jan: And the bands Al played in before, Blues Project, and after, Electric Flag, and then Super Session are worth revisiting...
	5:34pm TDK60: Oh, forgot the comma after Blood.
	5:34pm Passaic River Blues: I thought Kooper did some of the work on the second BST record. I always liked the Satie stuff, but you are right that, post-Kooper, BST quickly became boring.
	5:34pm Listener Robert: REmember how Bob & Ray had John Simon the theater critic as the worst person in the world? I wonder what review he gave them to cause that reaction.
	5:37pm TDK60: I did see Blues Project once.
	5:37pm kev: it was disappointed but Tull was great
	5:38pm BronwynB: john simon sure is controversial, but when i contacted hundreds of theater critics to review a tiny production i was involved with, his 91-year-old self was one of the only people to actually give me the dignity of a reply. he declined, saying something along the lines of "if i give you a review they'll all want one," but he was very cordial.
	5:40pm Irwin: Different John Simon, just to clarify.
	5:41pm glenn: david c.t. was really a fat englishman, since he was born in blighty.
	5:41pm Irwin: This John Simon also produced the first Leonard Cohen album, another monumental project.
	5:41pm BronwynB: i know, i just like talking about my email encounter with the other john simon whenever i can shoehorn it in.
	5:41pm TDK60: This Simon also involved with The Band.
	5:42pm Irwin: Yep. Same guy. Still around.
	5:42pm BronwynB: my boyfriend's name is one letter away from being john simon.
	5:42pm Hoboken Jack: If more Blood Sweat & Tears songs sounded like this, I'd probably listen to them a whole lot more.
	5:43pm Dean: Simon on Bob & Ray: http://bit.ly/2BGJYFO
	5:43pm Listener Robert: John Simon's got to be one of the commonest English language names. Probably more than mine, Robert Goodman, but maybe less common than my friend, Nancy Wilson.
	5:44pm Passaic River Blues: I'm pretty sure my dad subscribed to New York Magazine just to read Simon reviews to plays he'd never see and either exclaim in agreement or rage in fulsome dissent.
	5:45pm Listener Robert: I chortled out loud just at the headline, Dean.
	5:45pm TDK60: Wonderful tune. // I celebrated many 1967 albums last year, like "Surrealistic Pillow" by Jefferson Airplane. I still celebrate them. 1968 was also a year full of fine music.
	5:45pm BronwynB: my name's not that common, but the weird thing about it is that the most famous person with my first name also has my last name.
	5:45pm debt collector: Blood sweat and TEARS
	5:46pm Fredericks: The produced version of "Modern Adventures..."brought to mind Love's Forever Changes.
	5:46pm Dean: There are six Irwin Chusids on my block alone. I work with four others.
	5:46pm Dave in Vermont: hey, dc- don't think I've ever seen you on here after dawn.
	5:47pm BronwynB: @dean: i suspect hyperbole
	5:47pm common: totally Fredericks. and this more of zombies.
	5:47pm Dave in Vermont: wait, is it before dawn, now?
	5:47pm Mister Eddie: Beautiful song. But I agree with the other band members about being included on the album. It was all Al, and he should of just kept it for himself.
	5:47pm Michael 98145: ... "ostrich-like escapism" ... :)
	5:48pm Dean: @BronwynB: I never, ever resort to hyperbole.
	5:48pm TDK60: Maybe Al could have let them add horn charts?
	5:49pm glenn: never ever implies some wiggle room.
	5:49pm BronwynB: @dean: but do you ever resort to ADVERBS
	5:50pm Dean: Frequently, obsessively, routinely. Hair s/t was '68.
	5:50pm kev: you did good Irwin
	5:51pm yippie: maybe a bugle chart
	5:51pm Dean: My favorite adverb: contumely.
	5:52pm Michael 98145: OUch: "The Two and Only [Bob & Ray] are not even radio any more, merely static."
	5:55pm Mike East: diggin' the show today, Irwin. That cut from the Llewyn Davis movie particularly made me smile.
	5:56pm Michael 98145: Thank you again, Irwin. Nowhere else is there radio like this.
	5:57pm Dean: Coulda just played "Conrad. It's Me, Erik," and the rest again. Not like we would have remembered them.
	6:03pm Fredericks: Showed up late. Liked what I heard.
