	12:13pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Olivia! I'll have to be abusing the archives once you are conflicting with Doug!
	12:13pm Krys O.: Good afternoon!!!
	12:13pm Rich in Washington: I used to like to take leftover pizza and get a skillet good and hot with olive oil and fry both sides of the pie, until they're nearly blackened. I think it depends on the type of pizza.
	12:14pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah. The new schedule change makes for a lot of inter-stream conflicts for me all around. It does mean - for me - that I'll now get to enjoy this show on my morning commutes now, which is good.
	12:14pm chresti: Hello Raviolis!

	12:24pm sphere: @ wfmu_listener_phillip agreed--Olivia and Bryce will make a nice tag-team listen.
	12:25pm maestroso: New (old) Akiko!
	12:26pm fred: I'm reading a Ph.D thesis about DIY noise (in French, unfortunately) but Akiko Yano's voice just stole my focus
	12:27pm Granny Spicy Tuna: really enjoying this set, Olivia. Hi, everyone!
	12:32pm adrian in mpls: Love hearing the Petra Haden glide its way in and out of the soundscapes
	12:38pm cuteCloud: Hi Granny sPICY TuNa! :3
	12:40pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Hi, cuteCloud, have you just emerged from Imaginaryland?
	12:47pm cuteCloud: hehe yes, to sort through the emails :)
	12:58pm fred: I'd love to see So Percussion live someday
	12:59pm chresti: Me too
	1:00pm Cooh John: Good afternoon, Olivia and raviolos.
	1:02pm Booz: Afternoon all. So Percussion rocks.
	1:03pm Booz: Sounds like Melody might be winning the Competition, but I can't be certain.
	1:05pm adrian in mpls: digging this So Percussion
	1:12pm yippie: dont dig it into a deep hole plz
	1:21pm fred: I just read a reference to WFMU in the thesis I'm reading. Probably not the only one in there
	1:24pm BREAKING NEWS!!: station manager KEN is BACK. next wednesday from 9-12. KEN IS BACK WOOO HOOO!!! yeah baby
	1:25pm coelacanth∅: so suddenly you like cassettes! you didn't seem so into them a few months ago when we were talking about a cassette exchange club. this is good!
	1:27pm olivia: not so sudddenly, coel.... I play cassettes quite often! But sometimes they are annoying
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: oh, haha -i guess i just heard the "they are annoying" part. sorry!
	1:28pm Rich in Washington: Cassettes are difficult to cue for DJing, but I still like them.
	1:31pm sphere: i still don't understand why people deserted CDs.
	1:32pm blee: CDs decay
	1:33pm coelacanth∅: i haven't deserted anything (never embraced lossy files, so i don't have to desert them)
	1:33pm fred: @olivia: Is it OK for people from tiny labels here to contact you about sending music? I think/hope Thomas from No Lagos did so, but others are reluctant because they aren't comfortable with what's marketing to them unless there's some personal connection
	1:34pm chresti: I never deserted cassettes, my cassette player did.
	1:34pm βrian: Is that to say the tape became dessert?
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: cds do decay. i still use them though. people decay too.
	1:36pm chresti: Deserted me, that is @1:34
	1:38pm olivia: @fred, sure, of course. Yes, No lagos got in touch!
	1:43pm Rich in Washington: I have always thought the term obsolescence is rather funny.
	1:43pm chresti: CDs seem to fade, they get quieter
	1:43pm tokenware: hell ya Didaktische Einheit
	1:43pm cuteCloud: all is fire
	1:45pm Rich in Washington: CDs do decay. So do some cassette tapes. I've got some inexpensive brand cassettes that have survived being poorly stored over decades that sound pretty good and premium brand cassettes that started going south the moment the shrink wrap came off of them.
	1:45pm βrian: I've had my Nakamichi dual cassette player parked in the basement for years. Hmm.
	1:47pm Rich in Washington: I still have a few packages of unopened Swire/Intermagnetic 'rainbow' cassettes stowed away somewhere. When I die, my offspring will just scratch their heads and think I just hoarded any old thing.
	1:47pm fred: @olivia: Great!
	1:49pm Michael 98145: @Rich, the landfill will devour my cassettes eventually
	1:49pm cuteCloud: mmm rainbow cassettes
	1:50pm βrian: FeO₂ is a fickle laminate.
	1:50pm cuteCloud: i really liked the clear ones with the hot pink and yellow and blue parts inside
	1:50pm zopa: fickle laminate = good band name
	1:52pm Michael 98145: isn't that a Masonic logo ?
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: @Michael 98145: when I expire, my wife will finally be able to throw away the huge file-bin boxes of old cassettes filled with radio shows from the late 70s/early 80s, like she's been trying to talk me into for decades.
	1:55pm cuteCloud: does urban outfitters sell tape decks yet? '':)
	🍝 1:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Duct tape is tough as nails. They should adapt some of their technology.
	1:58pm βrian: Nay, gaffer's tape!
	2:01pm Carmichael: I still have my metal cassette tapes, as well as a suitable player. I also have a cassette machine that I use to transfer my old mix tapes to MP3 files.
	2:04pm Michael 98145: @Rich, my wife has actually been enjoying my ancient cassettes while she works out -
	2:06pm fred: @carmichael: what would you recommend to digitize cassettes or records? I used to have a minidisk thing that did that well, but it got stolen years ago (that must have been a very disappointed thief)
	2:07pm βrian: I have the same problem, @fred. I have some recordings of my father that are at risk.
	2:14pm sphere: from my experience, getting records and cassettes into digital form is easy, but chopping them up into separate tracks is an absolute pain.
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: I just send my Tascam deck straight into the soundcard of a computer as a AIFF for editing, processing later (yeah. right). No need for fancy converters. I see those cheap walkman knockoff players with USB out and cringe. They just look cheezy. Not knockin' USB/Firewire interfaces - I've just never felt like I needed one for ripping records or tapes.
	2:15pm Linda Lee: i've done a lot of digitizing with an analogue system, through a T cable that runs between the analogue amp & the computer's mic jack ~ i used audacity to convert the raw data file to sound files.
	2:16pm Linda Lee: you do one track at a time, if you want. chop it up however you like. easy peasy.
	2:17pm Linda Lee: the T cable has male RCA plugs > male mini plug.
	2:18pm Linda Lee: with audacity it doesn't have to be mp3.
	2:18pm Linda Lee: it's just really damn time consuming. but with irreplaceable sounds, it's a good idea.
	2:20pm Linda Lee: in audacity you can clean up the sound, too. reduce tape hiss on tapes, take out pops in vinyl lps. it's always been a good program for me. easy to learn. intuitive.
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: That's what I do, LL. Audacity's great.
	2:20pm βrian: So I'd need to run from my Nakamichi to a USB Type-C port. How does that work?
	2:21pm Lixiviated Life: sorry I'm late
	2:21pm Linda Lee: agree agree! the version i use is a few years old now. i'm sure the newer versions are really spiffy.
	2:21pm βrian: Ah, but there is an earphone port. I had the sense that was one-way out.
	2:22pm Linda Lee: isn't it?
	2:23pm Rich in Washington: I love some of the noise reduction tools of Audacity. As far as fixing major fidelity problems, I sometimes think I have a tin ear. Right now, I'm just ripping as many tapes as I can and doing almost no editing or restoration - just bulk archiving. Eventually, I need to study how to really use EQ and noise reduction properly.
	2:23pm Linda Lee: you need the mic jack.
	🍝 2:24pm diciassette: Behringer makes a good, affordable DAC, UCA202. I have it hooked up to one of the tape loops. Can record anything w/Audacity.
	2:24pm Linda Lee: agree, Rich, just get 'em done. meanwhile Audacity adds tools for clean up!
	🍝 2:24pm diciassette: ps: Ahoy!
	2:25pm Linda Lee: someone just offered me a set of little reel-to-reel machines just like the one i loved as a favorite toy in '68. help! eek!
	2:26pm Linda Lee: i'm supposed to be purging! :-D
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: DO IT! Reel to reel is a lot of fun!
	🍝 2:27pm diciassette: I have a pictue of myself playing with one of those in '69!
	2:27pm Linda Lee: oh god i know. :-D
	2:27pm fred: :@diciassette: this looks good, thanks
	2:28pm cuteCloud: loving all the Tribe Called Red you're playing Olivia :3
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: Open reel is fun because you can physically manipulate the tape, its movement, etc. I still have an old Akai, which I baby and only set up when absolutely necessary. It needs restoration, but I don't have the funds, sadly.
	2:29pm Andrew Waterloo: You can also get tiny USB mixers from Behringer, I use one to connect laptop and desktop to my stereo.. haven't tried the USB port yet
	2:29pm Linda Lee: do you know Amulets? manipulated tape is his thing. he's starating to produce a machine with manual tone & speed adjustment.
	2:30pm Linda Lee: he's starating!
	2:30pm Linda Lee: he's asking a wee pile for the machine, tho. boo hoo hoo!
	🍝 2:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: In case there's a Garbecue this summer, there should be a table with tapes and things set up. Folks can play around and make some recordings or mixes on the spot.
	2:32pm Linda Lee: very nice! :-) well, back to the workaday work. just thought i'd pitch my 2 cents in :-D
	2:32pm agnesfidget: Hi Olivia, I am trying to find an audio track of the Keyoshin "Pop the Trunk" song but can't find any references to it online besides here. Can you tell me where I can find it?
	2:34pm Carmichael: @Fred, sorry for the delay. Here is what I use (minus the turntable): www.dak.com... There are other competitors out there, too. I bought a cassette machine that plugs into that board, but I can''t remember where.
	2:38pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: I think there should also be a stand where you can hammer what is presented as the original Heavy Metal record into dust (my guess is that the actual crap is played from mp3, but it could be cathartic). Ike would be a regular
	2:38pm chresti: I need one of those@Carmichael
	2:39pm olivia: hey agnes - I misspelled! its kyeoshin
	2:41pm Carmichael: @chresti, really slick little system. Kinda labor intensive on the back end, when you split up tracks, name them and organize folders. But otherwise a lot of fun. I can see that being my retirement hobby for my house full o' records.
	2:41pm Rich in Washington: I've just never used USB for audio. I'm not purposely a luddite - I just don't know why I would it need to send audio into my computer for. I've just always sent the analog signal into a computer that way ever since computers have had stereo soundcards.
	2:42pm fred: @Carmichael: Thanks! I'll have to look seriously into that later (bit of a crash crunch at the moment)
	2:43pm Barney Grubbs: There used to be a noise-ish band around where I went to college called Carne A (the A stood for something different every time they played--Assassin, Arkansas, etc.) that had a dude playing live reel-to-reel tape loops/noise during their live sets (possibly Bill Nelson from Man is the Bastard/Bastard Noise/Sleestak/Geronimo). He would end up with a pile of tangled tape on stage next to him.
	2:45pm Joe D.: :) :) :)
	2:46pm queems: old town road!!!
	2:46pm sphere: Old Town Road by Lil Nas X
	2:46pm chresti: Joseph Hammer and Carl Stone are tape manipulators. Hammer wears white gloves while performing
	2:46pm sphere: one mix features Billy Ray Cyrus guesting.
	2:47pm queems: i’m obsessed with that song because memes
	2:47pm Jackie: I love that video!
	2:47pm sphere: i think it's a pretty good song. only 2:30 though.
	2:48pm chresti: Hammer also has his reel to reel in an old leather suitcase, he looks like a magician on stage
	2:48pm hevykevy: hey Olivia i always love your show today is special because we are paddling a canoe on the haw river in north carolina. me and august have tasty beers and sandwiches and posion ivy rash on my foot
	2:51pm chresti: No tornado in SC?
	2:51pm august rayshine: hello misses im here just enjoying yer dirty set everybody is just clippin on and idk things move a little bit slower down here
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: I had an electronic music artist from Germany on my show last year named Marta Zapparoli who used tiny reel to reel players and several cassette players in her performances. It was incredible. She's really worth checking out.
	2:51pm Andrew Waterloo: Holy Fuck uses a tape splicer or some sort of tape editor on stage
	2:52pm Krys O.: Thanks for the DC! Always a pleasure hearing your show. Many thanks.
	2:52pm Barney Grubbs: Mission of Burma used to use tapes, too, right?
	2:52pm Andrew Waterloo: Ah... 35mm film synchronizer
	2:53pm hevykevy: @chrestie clear skies 90 degrees were gettin burnt in the river like two fat toads
	2:53pm Ike: I have been summoned by the above talk of hammering the original Heavy Metal master tapes into dust. Greetings! Enjoying the show.
	🍝 2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: @fred - We'd have a hard time prying the hammer from Ike's grip. Thanks, Olivia. If some of these tape-centric groups are on tour, they should stop by your show.
	2:54pm fred: I remember one incarnation of To Live And Shave In LA featuring tape strips on cards
	2:55pm Krys O.: Yes, Mission of Burma used tape sounds on stage. So did early Human League.
	2:57pm chresti: Thanks Olivia!
	3:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Olivia

	1:50pm zopa: fickle laminate = good band name
	1:52pm Michael 98145: isn't that a Masonic logo ?
	1:53pm Rich in Washington: @Michael 98145: when I expire, my wife will finally be able to throw away the huge file-bin boxes of old cassettes filled with radio shows from the late 70s/early 80s, like she's been trying to talk me into for decades.
	1:55pm cuteCloud: does urban outfitters sell tape decks yet? '':)
	🍝 1:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Duct tape is tough as nails. They should adapt some of their technology.
	1:58pm βrian: Nay, gaffer's tape!
	2:01pm Carmichael: I still have my metal cassette tapes, as well as a suitable player. I also have a cassette machine that I use to transfer my old mix tapes to MP3 files.
	2:04pm Michael 98145: @Rich, my wife has actually been enjoying my ancient cassettes while she works out -
	2:06pm fred: @carmichael: what would you recommend to digitize cassettes or records? I used to have a minidisk thing that did that well, but it got stolen years ago (that must have been a very disappointed thief)
	2:07pm βrian: I have the same problem, @fred. I have some recordings of my father that are at risk.
	2:14pm sphere: from my experience, getting records and cassettes into digital form is easy, but chopping them up into separate tracks is an absolute pain.
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: I just send my Tascam deck straight into the soundcard of a computer as a AIFF for editing, processing later (yeah. right). No need for fancy converters. I see those cheap walkman knockoff players with USB out and cringe. They just look cheezy. Not knockin' USB/Firewire interfaces - I've just never felt like I needed one for ripping records or tapes.
	2:15pm Linda Lee: i've done a lot of digitizing with an analogue system, through a T cable that runs between the analogue amp & the computer's mic jack ~ i used audacity to convert the raw data file to sound files.
	2:16pm Linda Lee: you do one track at a time, if you want. chop it up however you like. easy peasy.
	2:17pm Linda Lee: the T cable has male RCA plugs > male mini plug.
	2:18pm Linda Lee: with audacity it doesn't have to be mp3.
	2:18pm Linda Lee: it's just really damn time consuming. but with irreplaceable sounds, it's a good idea.
	2:20pm Linda Lee: in audacity you can clean up the sound, too. reduce tape hiss on tapes, take out pops in vinyl lps. it's always been a good program for me. easy to learn. intuitive.
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: That's what I do, LL. Audacity's great.
	2:20pm βrian: So I'd need to run from my Nakamichi to a USB Type-C port. How does that work?
	2:21pm Lixiviated Life: sorry I'm late
	2:21pm Linda Lee: agree agree! the version i use is a few years old now. i'm sure the newer versions are really spiffy.
	2:21pm βrian: Ah, but there is an earphone port. I had the sense that was one-way out.
	2:22pm Linda Lee: isn't it?
	2:23pm Rich in Washington: I love some of the noise reduction tools of Audacity. As far as fixing major fidelity problems, I sometimes think I have a tin ear. Right now, I'm just ripping as many tapes as I can and doing almost no editing or restoration - just bulk archiving. Eventually, I need to study how to really use EQ and noise reduction properly.
	2:23pm Linda Lee: you need the mic jack.
	🍝 2:24pm diciassette: Behringer makes a good, affordable DAC, UCA202. I have it hooked up to one of the tape loops. Can record anything w/Audacity.
	2:24pm Linda Lee: agree, Rich, just get 'em done. meanwhile Audacity adds tools for clean up!
	🍝 2:24pm diciassette: ps: Ahoy!
	2:25pm Linda Lee: someone just offered me a set of little reel-to-reel machines just like the one i loved as a favorite toy in '68. help! eek!
	2:26pm Linda Lee: i'm supposed to be purging! :-D
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: DO IT! Reel to reel is a lot of fun!
	🍝 2:27pm diciassette: I have a pictue of myself playing with one of those in '69!
	2:27pm Linda Lee: oh god i know. :-D
	2:27pm fred: :@diciassette: this looks good, thanks
	2:28pm cuteCloud: loving all the Tribe Called Red you're playing Olivia :3
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: Open reel is fun because you can physically manipulate the tape, its movement, etc. I still have an old Akai, which I baby and only set up when absolutely necessary. It needs restoration, but I don't have the funds, sadly.
	2:29pm Andrew Waterloo: You can also get tiny USB mixers from Behringer, I use one to connect laptop and desktop to my stereo.. haven't tried the USB port yet
	2:29pm Linda Lee: do you know Amulets? manipulated tape is his thing. he's starating to produce a machine with manual tone & speed adjustment.
	2:30pm Linda Lee: he's starating!
	2:30pm Linda Lee: he's asking a wee pile for the machine, tho. boo hoo hoo!
	🍝 2:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: In case there's a Garbecue this summer, there should be a table with tapes and things set up. Folks can play around and make some recordings or mixes on the spot.
	2:32pm Linda Lee: very nice! :-) well, back to the workaday work. just thought i'd pitch my 2 cents in :-D
	2:32pm agnesfidget: Hi Olivia, I am trying to find an audio track of the Keyoshin "Pop the Trunk" song but can't find any references to it online besides here. Can you tell me where I can find it?
	2:34pm Carmichael: @Fred, sorry for the delay. Here is what I use (minus the turntable): www.dak.com... There are other competitors out there, too. I bought a cassette machine that plugs into that board, but I can''t remember where.
	2:38pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: I think there should also be a stand where you can hammer what is presented as the original Heavy Metal record into dust (my guess is that the actual crap is played from mp3, but it could be cathartic). Ike would be a regular
	2:38pm chresti: I need one of those@Carmichael
	2:39pm olivia: hey agnes - I misspelled! its kyeoshin
	2:41pm Carmichael: @chresti, really slick little system. Kinda labor intensive on the back end, when you split up tracks, name them and organize folders. But otherwise a lot of fun. I can see that being my retirement hobby for my house full o' records.
	2:41pm Rich in Washington: I've just never used USB for audio. I'm not purposely a luddite - I just don't know why I would it need to send audio into my computer for. I've just always sent the analog signal into a computer that way ever since computers have had stereo soundcards.
	2:42pm fred: @Carmichael: Thanks! I'll have to look seriously into that later (bit of a crash crunch at the moment)
	2:43pm Barney Grubbs: There used to be a noise-ish band around where I went to college called Carne A (the A stood for something different every time they played--Assassin, Arkansas, etc.) that had a dude playing live reel-to-reel tape loops/noise during their live sets (possibly Bill Nelson from Man is the Bastard/Bastard Noise/Sleestak/Geronimo). He would end up with a pile of tangled tape on stage next to him.
	2:45pm Joe D.: :) :) :)
	2:46pm queems: old town road!!!
	2:46pm sphere: Old Town Road by Lil Nas X
	2:46pm chresti: Joseph Hammer and Carl Stone are tape manipulators. Hammer wears white gloves while performing
	2:46pm sphere: one mix features Billy Ray Cyrus guesting.
	2:47pm queems: i’m obsessed with that song because memes
	2:47pm Jackie: I love that video!
	2:47pm sphere: i think it's a pretty good song. only 2:30 though.
	2:48pm chresti: Hammer also has his reel to reel in an old leather suitcase, he looks like a magician on stage
	2:48pm hevykevy: hey Olivia i always love your show today is special because we are paddling a canoe on the haw river in north carolina. me and august have tasty beers and sandwiches and posion ivy rash on my foot
	2:51pm chresti: No tornado in SC?
	2:51pm august rayshine: hello misses im here just enjoying yer dirty set everybody is just clippin on and idk things move a little bit slower down here
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: I had an electronic music artist from Germany on my show last year named Marta Zapparoli who used tiny reel to reel players and several cassette players in her performances. It was incredible. She's really worth checking out.
	2:51pm Andrew Waterloo: Holy Fuck uses a tape splicer or some sort of tape editor on stage
	2:52pm Krys O.: Thanks for the DC! Always a pleasure hearing your show. Many thanks.
	2:52pm Barney Grubbs: Mission of Burma used to use tapes, too, right?
	2:52pm Andrew Waterloo: Ah... 35mm film synchronizer
	2:53pm hevykevy: @chrestie clear skies 90 degrees were gettin burnt in the river like two fat toads
	2:53pm Ike: I have been summoned by the above talk of hammering the original Heavy Metal master tapes into dust. Greetings! Enjoying the show.
	🍝 2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: @fred - We'd have a hard time prying the hammer from Ike's grip. Thanks, Olivia. If some of these tape-centric groups are on tour, they should stop by your show.
	2:54pm fred: I remember one incarnation of To Live And Shave In LA featuring tape strips on cards
	2:55pm Krys O.: Yes, Mission of Burma used tape sounds on stage. So did early Human League.
	2:57pm chresti: Thanks Olivia!
	3:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Olivia
