	3:10pm fred: Good afternoon Scott and everyone

	3:12pm andrew: was hoping for more down by the river today
	3:12pm phillippe bastille: hi all. cold and sunshiney
	3:13pm Siobhan in Brooklyn: Between this and the version Gaylord played last night, I’m really getting the creeps...
	3:13pm phillippe bastille: hey Dale, furnace problem solved: bad circuit board that talks between the thermostat and furnace
	3:14pm TDK60: ..took a walk this morn, and will again soon. Yow, bundle up.
	3:15pm dale: hey philippe - well that sucks. probably just a cracked solder joint from vibration too.
	3:16pm Scott Williams: anyone going out for coffee?? I could sure use some!
	3:16pm John from Florham Park: Another good version of down by the river
	3:16pm annie: an upstate friend just released his new cd, too. the music news is good at least
	3:17pm John from Florham Park: Trying too Scott and I have had enough coffee
	3:18pm TDK60: Folks, I implore you, abandon all cotton socks in mid-winter; go wool!
	3:18pm dale: i was supposed to go repair a hand railing in a section 8 rental apartment today but when it was still below zero after 9 am i called and said 'another day'
	3:19pm annie's upstate friend: yes folks, imy new album is out now; buy it.
	3:19pm coelacanth∅: but i love cotton
	3:19pm phillippe bastille: @dale kinda bummed it wasn't the whole unit, actually. we have one of those home warranties (highly recommend) and the furnace isn't the only system we didn't replace to get the place ready to sell. would've appreciated a new one for $100!
	3:20pm rental apartment owner: young people today dont see the value of a good days work
	3:20pm annie: thanks "friend", can i share your link?
	3:20pm coelacanth∅: Scott i can get you some right next door. i'm 100 miles away - it might be cold by the time you get it.
	3:20pm dale: tdk60 - i just got a new pair of wool blend heavy socks, 'dickies' brand is written on the toes. my wife thought it said 'chicken'
	3:20pm phillippe bastille: *is the only
	3:21pm TDK60: sock it to me, coelacanth∅.
	3:21pm annie's upstate friend: go ahead
	3:21pm JakeGould: Someone get Scott coffee. It is very very very cold.
	3:22pm dale: phhillippe - if the combustion chamber was shot that is the only way they would do that. otherwise everything else is replaceable.
	3:23pm dale: ...or boiler unit.
	3:23pm annie: hope this works: celebmix.com...
	3:23pm chicken socks: nobody ever buys me :o(
	3:24pm coelacanth∅: i bought some beautiful cotton socks last year. too short for my boots though, unless i have longjohns on ...which i do.
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: i'd buy some chicken socks if i had some chicken slacks to wear them with.
	3:25pm annie: i could call to have some delivered, but i have no idea of the nearest coffee shop
	3:25pm James Raftery: Good to have Randy on the payroll.
	3:26pm Scott Williams: I've got chickens on my socks. Also, fish
	3:26pm annie: i get the commission
	3:27pm rev. turnip druid: peeple.
	3:27pm annie: my socks are fluffy from november to march, then it's bare feet
	3:28pm Chris from DC: 22, feels like 7. I'm not going out to get chicken socks at this point.
	3:29pm dale: i'd get chicken socks if my chickens complained about cold feet.
	3:29pm mb: Hello DJ Scott Williams and those feeling the bluster. And those who are not.
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: Scott you might want to wash them before wearing them again. unless the fish is fresh.
	3:29pm dale: can we hear a foreigner 'cold as ice' 45 played at 33? thank you in advance.
	3:30pm John from Florham Park: I was out once to the library and not going out anymore
	3:31pm jake6573: hello room
	3:31pm annie: hell,it's even cold here in asheville, 10 last night
	3:31pm phillippe bastille: how about Crack the Sky's "Ice"? always thought that would be a great song to play for a field goal kicker
	3:32pm John from Florham Park: Annie that sucks the cold
	3:32pm coelacanth∅: it's 10f here; feels like 65.
	3:33pm dale: yesterday the snow had rain land on top of it and it is now an ice rink. gotta stay in the paths i made yesterday. the deer were trying to run through and a couple looked like bambi on the frozen pond. i felt bad for them.
	3:33pm annie: i could handle it long ago... now i'm happy for the wood stove, which i don't have, but i can dream..
	3:34pm glenn: oh boy. rolls eyes at the tales of frozen woe
	3:35pm glenn: kidding.
	3:37pm annie: perfect music,scott...old friends are dropping like flies and i'm all cried out...iknew there was a reason why radio was my friend
	3:37pm coelacanth∅: hahaha no you're not!
	3:37pm Chris from DC: Sandy, yay
	3:37pm phillippe bastille: days like this is why God invented Florida. probably the only reason.
	3:38pm rev. turnip druid: coil: “are you shivering?” ... somehow appropriate.
	3:41pm Bas NL: Oh yeah @th'rev! All squid-like and squalid..
	3:42pm northguineahills: @phillippe: It was 31F/-1C this morning, although now it's a balmy 56F/13.
	3:43pm annie: yeah,my florida Fb pals are sharing photos of "frost",whatever THAT is
	3:43pm mb: I was told not to like the Everly Brothers that much but the sustain on this guitar and what i heard last week on my WFMU is proving those people were dumb.
	3:43pm glenn: presently -11 c, -15 with wind chill here in trawna.
	3:44pm glenn: sorry, -19 with w.c.
	3:45pm TomDash: WARM regards Scott and all - great first set!
	3:46pm northguineahills: @annie: Well, my garden has survived over a dozen frosts, and this is its second freeze.
	3:48pm phillippe bastille: I tease about FL but I'm actually quite fond of Panama city beach. February is reasonably warm there (high 60s) and off season rates. have snowbirded there
	3:48pm annie: helps to bring those skills when ya move, huh ngh??
	3:54pm Pete G: Hey Scott! Sounding great! It's an icebox out there! Glad those cans are keeping you warm!
	3:54pm northguineahills: @annie: Tomatoes are dying, but still fruiting, chilies are still rather robust. Who knew the experience of my Brooklyn fire escape garden could translate to a real garden.
	3:55pm Scott Williams: Hey there, Pete G! Nice to hear from you, you fine guitar-slinging bringer of the warmth, yourself
	3:58pm rev. turnip druid: TIPSY!
	3:59pm northguineahills: Tipsy, seems like it's been forever since I've heard them!
	3:59pm Chris from DC: This is kind of amazing.
	4:00pm rev. turnip druid: their Trip Tease release holds up like a champion, lo these many years later...
	4:00pm annie: well,to be honest, you can afford to plant more...or train the vines??
	4:01pm Chris from DC: Th'Faith Healers! UK!
	4:02pm phillippe bastille: nice! thought it was electralane for a bit.
	4:03pm annie: anyway, good on ye,you can grow anything now
	4:04pm twinoak170: Hi Scott and popsicles!
	4:04pm Bas NL: Good kraut-y feel these Faith Healers. I like it!
	4:08pm coelacanth∅: not being able to have a year-round garden is really the only thing i dislike about the northeast weather
	4:10pm annie: coel ,elliot coleman is the guy who can help you. he's had success
	4:14pm brycepunk1: I love when you all play Throbbing Gristle. Thank you!
	4:15pm Fox: I forget how much I love Throbbing Gristle until it plays and my brain gets happy.
	4:18pm coelacanth∅: annie Thanks. i have other obstacles right now. my living situation will be different before next winter.
	4:22pm annie: aahh....hope things work out..
	4:25pm coelacanth∅: i did have what was to be a year-round garden here a few years ago, at the community garden. they have an unnecessary rule against gardening in the winter + i failed around late december. i'd made a minimal frame and laid clear plastic sheeting over it; rolled the plastic back every day. i still had plenty of parsely, spinach, kale, lettuce, collards, etc but was working/ using a darkroom in nj and one week i was down there and got offered extra work so i stayed. that would've been okay but it snowed, which mushed everything down; then it warmed up and steamed everything!
	4:26pm coelacanth∅: whoa, long post. sorry.
	4:27pm glenn: don't cry, scott. it'll be okay.
	4:34pm medson: Good day Scott and everyone.
	4:34pm Peter from Dover NJ: Wow. How I remember all these tunes.
	4:35pm annie: coel,you'll find that spot.. your ideas are not revolutionary...
	4:36pm Johnzon: how was my dingaling chuck berry's only number one hit... doesn't make sense on at least two levels
	4:36pm Scott Williams: a lot of these songs were my earliest awareness of music on the radio. I didn't like the radio for a long time!
	4:37pm queems: this is very fun
	4:38pm Scott Williams: if only everything on the radio then sounded like Badfinger and Raspberries!
	🧩 4:38pm chresti: Hell-O!
	4:38pm Johnzon: yea... i wish the clips were five or ten seconds longer tho
	4:38pm annie: i have no idea how iwould have survived without radio... somuch better that teevee.
	4:38pm steveL: Every. Fucking. Song. Every one.
	4:38pm Scott Williams: and Ben...
	4:38pm queems: what is nights in white satin doing on there
	4:38pm coelacanth∅: Johnzon yeah it's odd
	4:39pm twinoak170: Popcorn.
	4:39pm coelacanth∅: my parents had 1/2 these 45s; their offspring had 1/2 the other 1/2.
	4:39pm queems: oh reissued
	4:40pm Scott Williams: @queems, right?? reissued to try again, just like Styx's "Lady" a few years later
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: oh haha! i was wondering why i didn't recognise this one.
	4:40pm Kudubundu: Getting a big flashback right now. My first on WFMU. Don't know if that is good or bad? Oh just realised. I am old!
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: annie (@4.35) i didn't think they were; but apparently the garden board did. i eventually got kicked out. (which i would've prevailed on had i fought it, but it was about time i got some other things done)
	4:43pm queems: @scott well, if at first you don't succeed
	4:46pm phillippe bastille: just got the obligatory "What ARE you LISTENING to?!!". happens at least once a week...
	4:48pm phillippe bastille: my bride hasn't exactly bought in to the wfmu thing yet.
	4:51pm annie: @phillipe: i wasn't allowed to play fmu on the radio in my store,either. the employees went crazy.... and oneof them had a husband who was a past dj on fmu
	🧩 4:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: alas i have missed thee Whorl of Sound. That one was always a particular favorite..
	4:56pm twinoak170: Phillippe: hahaha, me too, at least once a week
	4:56pm annie: she'll be assimilated phillipe
	4:59pm steveo: Oh no how could I have missed Buddy Miles Down by the River and also hello I'm glad to be here now.
	5:01pm Doobois: This is so lovely, Scott (and Dan). Perfect for the slowly setting sun.
	5:03pm Bas NL: I really like Richard Youngs.
	5:03pm northguineahills: How many time has Richard Youngs played live on WFMU? Always dig him in any incarnation.
	5:08pm phillippe bastille: @annie she's usually pretty open to whatever I have on, but she'll never explore to find new stuff on her own. and she's never worn that wfmu tee shirt I got her either, damnit
	5:08pm northguineahills: Da Lab!
	5:10pm annie: ... when she does,you know you won her over..... andi had to clicky-star this show's episode..
	5:10pm Brian in New Orleans: how about the "Winter Song"...by Angel
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: "Being Happy All the Time Would Be Extremely Depressing" makes as much sense as "heaven would be boring". (in other words, it's a stupid thing to say)
	🧩 5:15pm chresti: The power keeps going out, it's very windy...
	🧩 5:16pm !ke: Uh oh, it got so windy that the playlist went out!
	🧩 5:17pm !ke: Never mind, optical illusion. Or it's my brain that went out.
	5:24pm phillippe bastille: @annie it's been 31 yrs of marriage so I kinda think I got what I got, if you know what i mean
	🧩 5:26pm ɨkɛlan Wattz: Happy/depressing, heaven/hell... yin/yang? Don't you need the darkness in order to be able to see light? Or is heaven a place where you can always see and remember the darkness in the distance but remain in light forever? Is that even possible? Is heaven where you become a happy, well-watered houseplant?
	5:28pm fred: @Ike: In heaven, everything is fine
	5:29pm Ven: everyone leaves the party at exactly the same time
	5:32pm coelacanth∅: Eek, i wouldn't (& didn't) say i'd want everything to go my way always. i'm personally pro-risk & pro-occasional tragedy - if you will believe that. but if you were always happy then you'd always be happy. you wouldn't care about the yin/yang dynamic. if heaven was boring then it wouldn't be heaven. if hell was fun it wouldn't be hell.
	5:32pm annie: i can dig it phillipe, make it another 30!
	5:37pm coelacanth∅: ...in other words, yes you do need the dark to have the light. it is impossible to be happy all the time. you could conceivably be comfortable all the time; or "content", but that's not happiness.
	5:38pm coelacanth∅: (but for the record i don't believe in "heaven" and "hell", as afterlife situations)
	5:40pm Ven: Has anyone at the station ever done an informal study to see what so-called commercial musical acts have NOT been played once, EVER, by a single dj on WFMU? Like Hootie and the Blowfish or Don Henley ... etc. (I haven't checked these BTW.) I think that would make a fascinating list.
	5:42pm steveo: Ven, Google "WFMU advanced playlist search" if you'd like to explore these questions on your own.
	5:43pm annie: i love the roller coaster, coel
	5:44pm Ven: Hootie isn't there, @steveo.
	5:44pm annie: and i think this thing is the bardo, we just have radio to get us by
	5:45pm fred: But Don Felder is, prominently
	5:45pm Ven: Don Henley IS there!!!!!!
	5:46pm Webhamster Henry: I'm a friend of Shana's and am in the video for Cool Kids.
	5:46pm phillippe bastille: Alex lahey is becoming kinda big in Australia (been told 2nd hand) and I dont think she's ever been played on fmu
	5:47pm Webhamster Henry: She just painted some new supergraphics over at bsp (Kingston's well-known music venue).
	5:48pm zpulpa: hmmm the accumulative malaise of "fineness" can be a kind of resistance to the flux of the human tendency to swim around in a spectrum of being, to require longing and fantasy. Sometimes an "okay" thing can become terrible if one isn't honest with the dreams that are kept at bay by resisting to soar off into a heaven on earth, the risk of course is the crash to the other side of whatever spectrum is calling. the roller coaster! thats it! the wave, the rhythm, the music, the dance! hmmm im almost off work and am anticipating catching to bus in the freezing cold, should i get take out or make a burrito with whats in the fridge?i wonder
	5:48pm annie: what a great show today scott!
	5:48pm Ven: Perhaps he was enjoyed ironically ... .
	5:49pm fred: @Webhamster Henry: Is that the video with the bikes?
	5:50pm Webhamster Henry: @fred - yep . Bikes and hair dryers! I'm on one of the bikes.
	5:50pm Ven: Yeah, sorry Scott. I am enjoying the show as well. ;-)
	5:50pm coelacanth∅: annie i don't always love it! i appreciate it but too often now the lows are almost unbareable (sp?) and % of the time exceed the highs. but the bardo is not so dissimilar to the zodiak belief, that we must go through each one to learn specific lessons.
	5:51pm Scott Williams: Henry: nice! Annie: thanks! Ven: it can be really difficult to tell what plays on FMU actually mean, hahaaa.... artists you may not expect turn up in mixes, or Kenny G plays them to hurt you, or... a million other things
	🧩 5:51pm ɨkɛ: @steveo & @Ven, that only tells you 99% of what's played on the station. The 1% that screws it up is Jones & X-Ray, who don't keep playlists and ironically are perhaps also the most likely to have played Hootie and the Blowfish, or at least something equally wretched. Is Hootie the yang? Do we need Hootie, and/or Don Felder, be able to appreciate real music?
	5:52pm phillippe bastille: great show today Scott. fun board too. bye everyone, stay warm
	5:52pm coelacanth∅: and, that hootie and the blowfish has never (since around 2000 anyway) been played on wfmu makes this day just a little bit better!
	5:52pm steveo: I'm sure there are many surprises. But I'm not surprised about Hootie.
	5:53pm steveo: Ike, true. Also pre 2000 or whatever is a long time
	🧩 5:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Not even backwards and at half-speed?
	5:54pm bleubombersune: A Glorious and Cataclysmic Show
	🧩 5:55pm ɨkɛ: OTOH Jones & X-Ray haven't really done so much of the "intentionally terrible music" thing since the 90s or maybe early 00s, back when they used to be more blatantly macho and talked about pro wrestling and played Tone Loc and popular music a lot. (Also Stan didn't keep playlists until a certain point but I'm sure he never played "terrible" music.)
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: -if it has been played on a record with the hole off center i'm okay with it.
	5:57pm John from Florham Park: How come joes does not have a playlist
	5:58pm coelacanth∅: Stan plays pretty much ONLY good music.
	5:58pm Linda Lee: hello! is WIlliam Tyler a scientologist? is this common knowledge?
	5:58pm Scott Williams: Thanks everybody! See you next week, when my live guest will be this guy here, amazing guitarist William Tyler!
	5:58pm John from Florham Park: I meant jones who does not have a playlist
	5:59pm Linda Lee: a few shows don't run a playlist. jonesy doesn't; i don't think mr sarge does either
	5:59pm yippie: I graffitied a scientology church
	5:59pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, Scott! Great show!
	5:59pm yippie: it was a celebrity center church actually
	5:59pm Ven: I just got curious after hearing another dj ponder the same question with a specific group in mind. It's all good to me!
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: Bill Kelly doesn't run a playlist either, and last i knew Stan still didn't, but someone else fills it in afterward. they just want to do radio. i respect that.
	5:59pm kevlicki: Hi...Scott...by Williams
	5:59pm Bas NL: Promise of good things to come.. i like this William Tyler track.
	6:00pm yippie: but not the one on tamarind street in Hollywood
	6:00pm Linda Lee: good for you, yippie!
	6:00pm steveo: Wait, that's it, Scott? Thanks for the great tunes!
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Scott! Brilliant as always!
	🧩 6:00pm ♪:ɛK: Also, some of those Don Henley plays are "backwards" "remixes" which is definitely a good thing.
	6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	🧩 6:01pm ♪ke: Thanks Scott!
	6:01pm twinoak170: Great show Scott, Thank You.

	3:16pm John from Florham Park: Another good version of down by the river
	3:16pm annie: an upstate friend just released his new cd, too. the music news is good at least
	3:17pm John from Florham Park: Trying too Scott and I have had enough coffee
	3:18pm TDK60: Folks, I implore you, abandon all cotton socks in mid-winter; go wool!
	3:18pm dale: i was supposed to go repair a hand railing in a section 8 rental apartment today but when it was still below zero after 9 am i called and said 'another day'
	3:19pm annie's upstate friend: yes folks, imy new album is out now; buy it.
	3:19pm coelacanth∅: but i love cotton
	3:19pm phillippe bastille: @dale kinda bummed it wasn't the whole unit, actually. we have one of those home warranties (highly recommend) and the furnace isn't the only system we didn't replace to get the place ready to sell. would've appreciated a new one for $100!
	3:20pm rental apartment owner: young people today dont see the value of a good days work
	3:20pm annie: thanks "friend", can i share your link?
	3:20pm coelacanth∅: Scott i can get you some right next door. i'm 100 miles away - it might be cold by the time you get it.
	3:20pm dale: tdk60 - i just got a new pair of wool blend heavy socks, 'dickies' brand is written on the toes. my wife thought it said 'chicken'
	3:20pm phillippe bastille: *is the only
	3:21pm TDK60: sock it to me, coelacanth∅.
	3:21pm annie's upstate friend: go ahead
	3:21pm JakeGould: Someone get Scott coffee. It is very very very cold.
	3:22pm dale: phhillippe - if the combustion chamber was shot that is the only way they would do that. otherwise everything else is replaceable.
	3:23pm dale: ...or boiler unit.
	3:23pm annie: hope this works: celebmix.com...
	3:23pm chicken socks: nobody ever buys me :o(
	3:24pm coelacanth∅: i bought some beautiful cotton socks last year. too short for my boots though, unless i have longjohns on ...which i do.
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: i'd buy some chicken socks if i had some chicken slacks to wear them with.
	3:25pm annie: i could call to have some delivered, but i have no idea of the nearest coffee shop
	3:25pm James Raftery: Good to have Randy on the payroll.
	3:26pm Scott Williams: I've got chickens on my socks. Also, fish
	3:26pm annie: i get the commission
	3:27pm rev. turnip druid: peeple.
	3:27pm annie: my socks are fluffy from november to march, then it's bare feet
	3:28pm Chris from DC: 22, feels like 7. I'm not going out to get chicken socks at this point.
	3:29pm dale: i'd get chicken socks if my chickens complained about cold feet.
	3:29pm mb: Hello DJ Scott Williams and those feeling the bluster. And those who are not.
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: Scott you might want to wash them before wearing them again. unless the fish is fresh.
	3:29pm dale: can we hear a foreigner 'cold as ice' 45 played at 33? thank you in advance.
	3:30pm John from Florham Park: I was out once to the library and not going out anymore
	3:31pm jake6573: hello room
	3:31pm annie: hell,it's even cold here in asheville, 10 last night
	3:31pm phillippe bastille: how about Crack the Sky's "Ice"? always thought that would be a great song to play for a field goal kicker
	3:32pm John from Florham Park: Annie that sucks the cold
	3:32pm coelacanth∅: it's 10f here; feels like 65.
	3:33pm dale: yesterday the snow had rain land on top of it and it is now an ice rink. gotta stay in the paths i made yesterday. the deer were trying to run through and a couple looked like bambi on the frozen pond. i felt bad for them.
	3:33pm annie: i could handle it long ago... now i'm happy for the wood stove, which i don't have, but i can dream..
	3:34pm glenn: oh boy. rolls eyes at the tales of frozen woe
	3:35pm glenn: kidding.
	3:37pm annie: perfect music,scott...old friends are dropping like flies and i'm all cried out...iknew there was a reason why radio was my friend
	3:37pm coelacanth∅: hahaha no you're not!
	3:37pm Chris from DC: Sandy, yay
	3:37pm phillippe bastille: days like this is why God invented Florida. probably the only reason.
	3:38pm rev. turnip druid: coil: “are you shivering?” ... somehow appropriate.
	3:41pm Bas NL: Oh yeah @th'rev! All squid-like and squalid..
	3:42pm northguineahills: @phillippe: It was 31F/-1C this morning, although now it's a balmy 56F/13.
	3:43pm annie: yeah,my florida Fb pals are sharing photos of "frost",whatever THAT is
	3:43pm mb: I was told not to like the Everly Brothers that much but the sustain on this guitar and what i heard last week on my WFMU is proving those people were dumb.
	3:43pm glenn: presently -11 c, -15 with wind chill here in trawna.
	3:44pm glenn: sorry, -19 with w.c.
	3:45pm TomDash: WARM regards Scott and all - great first set!
	3:46pm northguineahills: @annie: Well, my garden has survived over a dozen frosts, and this is its second freeze.
	3:48pm phillippe bastille: I tease about FL but I'm actually quite fond of Panama city beach. February is reasonably warm there (high 60s) and off season rates. have snowbirded there
	3:48pm annie: helps to bring those skills when ya move, huh ngh??
	3:54pm Pete G: Hey Scott! Sounding great! It's an icebox out there! Glad those cans are keeping you warm!
	3:54pm northguineahills: @annie: Tomatoes are dying, but still fruiting, chilies are still rather robust. Who knew the experience of my Brooklyn fire escape garden could translate to a real garden.
	3:55pm Scott Williams: Hey there, Pete G! Nice to hear from you, you fine guitar-slinging bringer of the warmth, yourself
	3:58pm rev. turnip druid: TIPSY!
	3:59pm northguineahills: Tipsy, seems like it's been forever since I've heard them!
	3:59pm Chris from DC: This is kind of amazing.
	4:00pm rev. turnip druid: their Trip Tease release holds up like a champion, lo these many years later...
	4:00pm annie: well,to be honest, you can afford to plant more...or train the vines??
	4:01pm Chris from DC: Th'Faith Healers! UK!
	4:02pm phillippe bastille: nice! thought it was electralane for a bit.
	4:03pm annie: anyway, good on ye,you can grow anything now
	4:04pm twinoak170: Hi Scott and popsicles!
	4:04pm Bas NL: Good kraut-y feel these Faith Healers. I like it!
	4:08pm coelacanth∅: not being able to have a year-round garden is really the only thing i dislike about the northeast weather
	4:10pm annie: coel ,elliot coleman is the guy who can help you. he's had success
	4:14pm brycepunk1: I love when you all play Throbbing Gristle. Thank you!
	4:15pm Fox: I forget how much I love Throbbing Gristle until it plays and my brain gets happy.
	4:18pm coelacanth∅: annie Thanks. i have other obstacles right now. my living situation will be different before next winter.
	4:22pm annie: aahh....hope things work out..
	4:25pm coelacanth∅: i did have what was to be a year-round garden here a few years ago, at the community garden. they have an unnecessary rule against gardening in the winter + i failed around late december. i'd made a minimal frame and laid clear plastic sheeting over it; rolled the plastic back every day. i still had plenty of parsely, spinach, kale, lettuce, collards, etc but was working/ using a darkroom in nj and one week i was down there and got offered extra work so i stayed. that would've been okay but it snowed, which mushed everything down; then it warmed up and steamed everything!
	4:26pm coelacanth∅: whoa, long post. sorry.
	4:27pm glenn: don't cry, scott. it'll be okay.
	4:34pm medson: Good day Scott and everyone.
	4:34pm Peter from Dover NJ: Wow. How I remember all these tunes.
	4:35pm annie: coel,you'll find that spot.. your ideas are not revolutionary...
	4:36pm Johnzon: how was my dingaling chuck berry's only number one hit... doesn't make sense on at least two levels
	4:36pm Scott Williams: a lot of these songs were my earliest awareness of music on the radio. I didn't like the radio for a long time!
	4:37pm queems: this is very fun
	4:38pm Scott Williams: if only everything on the radio then sounded like Badfinger and Raspberries!
	🧩 4:38pm chresti: Hell-O!
	4:38pm Johnzon: yea... i wish the clips were five or ten seconds longer tho
	4:38pm annie: i have no idea how iwould have survived without radio... somuch better that teevee.
	4:38pm steveL: Every. Fucking. Song. Every one.
	4:38pm Scott Williams: and Ben...
	4:38pm queems: what is nights in white satin doing on there
	4:38pm coelacanth∅: Johnzon yeah it's odd
	4:39pm twinoak170: Popcorn.
	4:39pm coelacanth∅: my parents had 1/2 these 45s; their offspring had 1/2 the other 1/2.
	4:39pm queems: oh reissued
	4:40pm Scott Williams: @queems, right?? reissued to try again, just like Styx's "Lady" a few years later
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: oh haha! i was wondering why i didn't recognise this one.
	4:40pm Kudubundu: Getting a big flashback right now. My first on WFMU. Don't know if that is good or bad? Oh just realised. I am old!
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: annie (@4.35) i didn't think they were; but apparently the garden board did. i eventually got kicked out. (which i would've prevailed on had i fought it, but it was about time i got some other things done)
	4:43pm queems: @scott well, if at first you don't succeed
	4:46pm phillippe bastille: just got the obligatory "What ARE you LISTENING to?!!". happens at least once a week...
	4:48pm phillippe bastille: my bride hasn't exactly bought in to the wfmu thing yet.
	4:51pm annie: @phillipe: i wasn't allowed to play fmu on the radio in my store,either. the employees went crazy.... and oneof them had a husband who was a past dj on fmu
	🧩 4:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: alas i have missed thee Whorl of Sound. That one was always a particular favorite..
	4:56pm twinoak170: Phillippe: hahaha, me too, at least once a week
	4:56pm annie: she'll be assimilated phillipe
	4:59pm steveo: Oh no how could I have missed Buddy Miles Down by the River and also hello I'm glad to be here now.
	5:01pm Doobois: This is so lovely, Scott (and Dan). Perfect for the slowly setting sun.
	5:03pm Bas NL: I really like Richard Youngs.
	5:03pm northguineahills: How many time has Richard Youngs played live on WFMU? Always dig him in any incarnation.
	5:08pm phillippe bastille: @annie she's usually pretty open to whatever I have on, but she'll never explore to find new stuff on her own. and she's never worn that wfmu tee shirt I got her either, damnit
	5:08pm northguineahills: Da Lab!
	5:10pm annie: ... when she does,you know you won her over..... andi had to clicky-star this show's episode..
	5:10pm Brian in New Orleans: how about the "Winter Song"...by Angel
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: "Being Happy All the Time Would Be Extremely Depressing" makes as much sense as "heaven would be boring". (in other words, it's a stupid thing to say)
	🧩 5:15pm chresti: The power keeps going out, it's very windy...
	🧩 5:16pm !ke: Uh oh, it got so windy that the playlist went out!
	🧩 5:17pm !ke: Never mind, optical illusion. Or it's my brain that went out.
	5:24pm phillippe bastille: @annie it's been 31 yrs of marriage so I kinda think I got what I got, if you know what i mean
	🧩 5:26pm ɨkɛlan Wattz: Happy/depressing, heaven/hell... yin/yang? Don't you need the darkness in order to be able to see light? Or is heaven a place where you can always see and remember the darkness in the distance but remain in light forever? Is that even possible? Is heaven where you become a happy, well-watered houseplant?
	5:28pm fred: @Ike: In heaven, everything is fine
	5:29pm Ven: everyone leaves the party at exactly the same time
	5:32pm coelacanth∅: Eek, i wouldn't (& didn't) say i'd want everything to go my way always. i'm personally pro-risk & pro-occasional tragedy - if you will believe that. but if you were always happy then you'd always be happy. you wouldn't care about the yin/yang dynamic. if heaven was boring then it wouldn't be heaven. if hell was fun it wouldn't be hell.
	5:32pm annie: i can dig it phillipe, make it another 30!
	5:37pm coelacanth∅: ...in other words, yes you do need the dark to have the light. it is impossible to be happy all the time. you could conceivably be comfortable all the time; or "content", but that's not happiness.
	5:38pm coelacanth∅: (but for the record i don't believe in "heaven" and "hell", as afterlife situations)
	5:40pm Ven: Has anyone at the station ever done an informal study to see what so-called commercial musical acts have NOT been played once, EVER, by a single dj on WFMU? Like Hootie and the Blowfish or Don Henley ... etc. (I haven't checked these BTW.) I think that would make a fascinating list.
	5:42pm steveo: Ven, Google "WFMU advanced playlist search" if you'd like to explore these questions on your own.
	5:43pm annie: i love the roller coaster, coel
	5:44pm Ven: Hootie isn't there, @steveo.
	5:44pm annie: and i think this thing is the bardo, we just have radio to get us by
	5:45pm fred: But Don Felder is, prominently
	5:45pm Ven: Don Henley IS there!!!!!!
	5:46pm Webhamster Henry: I'm a friend of Shana's and am in the video for Cool Kids.
	5:46pm phillippe bastille: Alex lahey is becoming kinda big in Australia (been told 2nd hand) and I dont think she's ever been played on fmu
	5:47pm Webhamster Henry: She just painted some new supergraphics over at bsp (Kingston's well-known music venue).
	5:48pm zpulpa: hmmm the accumulative malaise of "fineness" can be a kind of resistance to the flux of the human tendency to swim around in a spectrum of being, to require longing and fantasy. Sometimes an "okay" thing can become terrible if one isn't honest with the dreams that are kept at bay by resisting to soar off into a heaven on earth, the risk of course is the crash to the other side of whatever spectrum is calling. the roller coaster! thats it! the wave, the rhythm, the music, the dance! hmmm im almost off work and am anticipating catching to bus in the freezing cold, should i get take out or make a burrito with whats in the fridge?i wonder
	5:48pm annie: what a great show today scott!
	5:48pm Ven: Perhaps he was enjoyed ironically ... .
	5:49pm fred: @Webhamster Henry: Is that the video with the bikes?
	5:50pm Webhamster Henry: @fred - yep . Bikes and hair dryers! I'm on one of the bikes.
	5:50pm Ven: Yeah, sorry Scott. I am enjoying the show as well. ;-)
	5:50pm coelacanth∅: annie i don't always love it! i appreciate it but too often now the lows are almost unbareable (sp?) and % of the time exceed the highs. but the bardo is not so dissimilar to the zodiak belief, that we must go through each one to learn specific lessons.
	5:51pm Scott Williams: Henry: nice! Annie: thanks! Ven: it can be really difficult to tell what plays on FMU actually mean, hahaaa.... artists you may not expect turn up in mixes, or Kenny G plays them to hurt you, or... a million other things
	🧩 5:51pm ɨkɛ: @steveo & @Ven, that only tells you 99% of what's played on the station. The 1% that screws it up is Jones & X-Ray, who don't keep playlists and ironically are perhaps also the most likely to have played Hootie and the Blowfish, or at least something equally wretched. Is Hootie the yang? Do we need Hootie, and/or Don Felder, be able to appreciate real music?
	5:52pm phillippe bastille: great show today Scott. fun board too. bye everyone, stay warm
	5:52pm coelacanth∅: and, that hootie and the blowfish has never (since around 2000 anyway) been played on wfmu makes this day just a little bit better!
	5:52pm steveo: I'm sure there are many surprises. But I'm not surprised about Hootie.
	5:53pm steveo: Ike, true. Also pre 2000 or whatever is a long time
	🧩 5:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Not even backwards and at half-speed?
	5:54pm bleubombersune: A Glorious and Cataclysmic Show
	🧩 5:55pm ɨkɛ: OTOH Jones & X-Ray haven't really done so much of the "intentionally terrible music" thing since the 90s or maybe early 00s, back when they used to be more blatantly macho and talked about pro wrestling and played Tone Loc and popular music a lot. (Also Stan didn't keep playlists until a certain point but I'm sure he never played "terrible" music.)
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: -if it has been played on a record with the hole off center i'm okay with it.
	5:57pm John from Florham Park: How come joes does not have a playlist
	5:58pm coelacanth∅: Stan plays pretty much ONLY good music.
	5:58pm Linda Lee: hello! is WIlliam Tyler a scientologist? is this common knowledge?
	5:58pm Scott Williams: Thanks everybody! See you next week, when my live guest will be this guy here, amazing guitarist William Tyler!
	5:58pm John from Florham Park: I meant jones who does not have a playlist
	5:59pm Linda Lee: a few shows don't run a playlist. jonesy doesn't; i don't think mr sarge does either
	5:59pm yippie: I graffitied a scientology church
	5:59pm Jeff Moore: Thanks, Scott! Great show!
	5:59pm yippie: it was a celebrity center church actually
	5:59pm Ven: I just got curious after hearing another dj ponder the same question with a specific group in mind. It's all good to me!
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: Bill Kelly doesn't run a playlist either, and last i knew Stan still didn't, but someone else fills it in afterward. they just want to do radio. i respect that.
	5:59pm kevlicki: Hi...Scott...by Williams
	5:59pm Bas NL: Promise of good things to come.. i like this William Tyler track.
	6:00pm yippie: but not the one on tamarind street in Hollywood
	6:00pm Linda Lee: good for you, yippie!
	6:00pm steveo: Wait, that's it, Scott? Thanks for the great tunes!
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Scott! Brilliant as always!
	🧩 6:00pm ♪:ɛK: Also, some of those Don Henley plays are "backwards" "remixes" which is definitely a good thing.
	6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	🧩 6:01pm ♪ke: Thanks Scott!
	6:01pm twinoak170: Great show Scott, Thank You.
