	12:32pm Andrea in Jersey City: Hello, I am putting some furniture together with a screw and this music is helping me along thanks
	12:32pm William Main: Thanks very much for playing Xenakis! Believe it or not I was listening to another work of his earlier this morning - Legend of Er. It takes a brave man to listen / play this kind of music. Only on WFMU!
	12:33pm George of Troy: Hiya, Bryce! Wearing my marbles shirt at this very moment, and waiting for my mother-in-law to question me as to its meaning.
	12:38pm Bryce: hahaaa :) i watched someone walk up to a person wearing it and ask, "...are those spiders?"
	12:39pm chresti: Hi Bryce!
	12:39pm wfmu_listener_phillip: good afternoon BRYCE! im home from st barnabus hosp. food infection is GONE! i can go out walking now:-)
	12:39pm Bryce: william, that's one of my faves! can really get lost in that one....
	12:39pm adrian in mpls: yes - everyone just left the office for lunch - time to crank this up!!
	12:40pm wfmu_listener_phillip: sorry. foot infection. my bad sorry
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: someone asked me if they're rocks in the blender. (but he knows i listen to wfmu and he knows i listen to ..."unusual"? music)
	12:41pm coelacanth∅: oh and hi Bryce
	12:41pm adrian in mpls: I wear my blender shirt a lot - I always get compliments on the color, but when I try to describe the meaning of the graphic it gets lost in translation
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: my friend loved the explanation!
	12:43pm Booz: crank. up. the. XENAKIS
	12:43pm Bryce: hellooo!
	12:45pm Bryce: good read about this piece: acloserlisten.com...
	12:45pm BLCKDGRD: Is this a birthday Xenakis piece on porpoise or is it just serendipity his birthday day before yesterday?
	12:47pm karen eliot: dystopian sounds. makes me feel like something metal might fall on me. hmmmm. actually appropriate.
	12:48pm G: The mostly Asian last week and South American the week before we're nice. But this is classic Bryce.
	12:48pm sphere: Mr. X in the house!
	12:49pm G: we're? tx autocorrect
	12:52pm Booz: I love these giant, modernist theatrical attempts to change the world. I wish I could go see one of the LICHTs being mounted in Europe soon.
	12:57pm steveo: just walked around midtown to grab some lunch and everyone was checking out my marbles and my blender (true story)
	12:58pm adrian in mpls: oh damn! Parmegiani! yes!
	12:59pm steveo: did you tell them rocks in a blender is a different show?
	1:01pm William Main: Thanks. Here is the inscription written over the Gate of All Nations at Persepolis - “Much else that is good was built within this Persepolis, which I built and my father built. Whatever good construction is seen, all that we built with the aide of Ahura Mazda.”
	1:03pm tim from champaign: Hello Bryce and evereebody! A highlight for me of working at the U of Illinois library was seeing a Xenakis score. It was pretty inspiring to see.
	1:08pm Chris from DC: Yay, Parmegiani
	1:08pm William Main: I just found a quote from Xenakis regarding Persepolis: “neither a work of theater, nor a ballet, nor an event. It is visual symbolism, paralleled in sound, and in the end it is sound –music—that must prevail at all costs.”
	1:09pm G: Interesting background on the event where the original "Persepolis" was performed... Wiki: "The 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire consisted of an elaborate set of festivities that took place on 12–16 October 1971 to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Imperial State of Iran and the Achaemenid Empire by Cyrus the Great. The intent of the celebration was to demonstrate Iran's ancient civilization and history and to showcase its contemporary advances under His Imperial Majesty Mohammad Reza Shah.... The extravagance of the celebrations was striking. Some later historians came to think that this excess... contributed to events that resulted in the Iranian Revolution." I'm just guessing the future Revolutionary Guard wouldn't have been huge Xenakis/avant-garde music fans...
	1:14pm Booz: One person's utopia is another Persian's imperialist orgy of sin.
	1:15pm cuteCloud: ^^hehe
	1:19pm Mister Dobalina: Bryce, some listeners in the previous show were discussing your penmanship status & I was lead to believe that it was on point... but such was not the case. Just sayin'...just kiddin' ...there is always room for improvement...lawd knows that's the case in my own life.
	1:19pm Passaic River Blues: That article on "Persepolis" was fascinating! Thanks for the link, Sir DJ.
	1:22pm G: _De natura sonorum_ is Classical Latin for "On the Nature of Sounds." It's kind of a play on the title of Lucretius's 1C BCE epic/didactic poem _De natura rerum_ (On the Nature of Things).
	1:22pm nic: love this!!!
	1:23pm mic_test: With time and familiarity, marbles in a blender has become such a pleasantly mellow sound. To get that initial thrill now, we would need an infinite nesting of BLENDERS in blenders.
	1:24pm chresti: This goes well with my foggy head.
	1:25pm G: @mic_test: People usually don't want to lose their marbles.
	1:25pm northguineahills: Consarnit, I missed Xenakis! But, wow, Paregiani!
	1:25pm chresti: haha Booz
	1:28pm tim from champaign: My prediction for today's show is we will hear 2 1/2 songs in 3 hours.
	1:29pm Bryce: gotta make up for all the songiness of the last couple weeks
	1:30pm Bryce: ps. parmegiani dabbled in MIMERY for a couple years: www.thewire.co.uk...
	1:30pm Bryce: (pps. that shirt tho)
	1:32pm Michael 98145: i can see i'm gonna enjoy this archive. yes.
	1:32pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi there
	1:34pm Chris from DC: Oh nice, filing that article for later.
	1:38pm Booz: [Permegiani] adding almost apologetically, "That piece has since become a classic of electroacoustlc music."
	1:39pm Michiel: I would just like to comment that this is a great song to work by. I find it matches my activities quite well.
	1:39pm chresti: That shirt indeed!
	1:42pm northguineahills: I'd say, I could fill a 3 hour slot w/ one song/track, But, one can go further and do John Cage's "As slow as possible", which could have a duration of 639 years....universes.art...
	1:43pm steveo: s.m. ken is not going to go for that, ngh
	1:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: I suppose musique concrète could well describe the sound of rocks in a blender.
	1:44pm northguineahills: @steveo: It could be it's own alternate stream!
	1:45pm Michael 98145: * slow stream *
	1:46pm steveo: it exists at www.aslsp.org... !
	1:47pm northguineahills: ha!, Michael! @steveo: mixing in.... (danke!)
	1:49pm G: The blender/marbles comments today reminded me I was on the board when that started, and I could remember about what season of what year. So I went and found it in the archives. This is the original comment hahahaha: "Fri. 3/23/12 1:13pm stubot: good thing wfuv can be relied on to play MUSIC at any given hour. Hey listener- wanna hear bullshit like this? I will put marbles in a blender for you. I was making breakfast (at 1pm) and made a point to come here to the playlist and thrash this bullshit."
	1:51pm northguineahills: @G: doing the good universe's work. I couldn't place it, but I remember it!
	1:52pm Bryce: hahaaaaa THANK YOU!!! been trying to remember when that happened!
	1:53pm Booz: OMG, G, LOL.
	1:54pm tim from champaign: @ngh - I attended most of a 10 hour performance of As Slow As Possible once.
	1:54pm adrian in mpls: haha - that's great - that was prior to me being an active commenter - so it's nice to see the origin
	1:54pm cklequ: My coworkers are loving the show today. I'm pretty sure they are, at least. It's hard to get a read on these weirdos.
	1:55pm Bryce: never quite been able to wrap my brain around the idea of getting incensed at music, lmaoooo
	1:55pm adrian in mpls: someone once came into my office when yr show was playing, Bryce - and they asked me what that sound was and that it sounded like a broken air conditioner - which has been my go to description for your show to my friends
	1:55pm Mick: G - that is amazing. GFTW
	1:56pm steveo: oh that was an all-Terry Riley show; putting it on my to-do list
	1:56pm Michael 98145: whoa. i had no idea bots existed so far in the past. :)
	1:56pm Bryce: jesus, can i rent your coworkers for a couple weeks???
	1:56pm Passaic River Blues: @G: Nice! The original comment resurrected! And it's even better than one might imagine. The structure is beautiful: meaningless reference to FUV (which, while it does some things right, is several orders below FMU), pejorative yet evocatively poetical description of the Bryce aesthetic, and then a fiercely self-important statement that, hey man, I took time out of my busy day to "thrash this bullshit." LOVE IT.
	1:57pm Dave: Well this is pretty epic.
	1:57pm tim from champaign: People can get so PISSED OFF about unfamiliar music. I don't get it either Bryce. Whenever I've DJed Suicide gets people pretty incensed.
	1:58pm adrian in mpls: what would you like to do with them? i'll get you a good deal :)
	1:58pm Passaic River Blues: @steveo: That much invective for TERRY RILEY? Insane.
	1:58pm tim from champaign: Well, I guess I'd start smashing shit if I was forced to listen to modern country and Lady Gaga type pop music.
	1:59pm Michael 98145: those worst are them that sez: I won't listen to this cuz i've never heard of this... erk.
	1:59pm G: @NGH Bryce etc al.: Wasn't tough. maybe five minutes. I knew where I was living in Brooklyn when that happened, and when I moved there and moved away, so I just started with the summer of 2012 and worked backwards. Five clicks per page -- easy. I kept hitting references to "blender" in comments, referencing back to the original event. So I was hot on the trail haha.
	2:00pm Chris from DC: Haas is new to me. This is amazing.
	2:00pm Booz: The original marbles commenter seems to have lost it during "You're Nogood"
	2:01pm chresti: My boyfriend reacts like that to most of the music I listen to..esp. when it is noise/experimental
	2:01pm Michael 98145: they say, noise annoys
	2:01pm Bryce: hahaaaa, terry riley no less!!! smh
	2:02pm tim from champaign: You're Nogood is about as listenable as you can get. So funny.
	2:03pm Bryce: this is great: for years, i've had, in the back of my head, another comment-to-shirt translation...turns out it was the same guy, same show! "cant get in to 'music' that sounds like I ran over a shopping cart with my car and am dragging it for miles. Its shit like this in the middle of the afternoon that makes most people turn off wfmu, its a good thing it's listener supported, otherwise shit like this would tank it."
	2:03pm adrian in mpls: this Haas - wow
	2:03pm steveo: it's literally a pop song :)
	2:04pm steveo: it's funny such a great poet is not a fan of terry riley :D
	2:04pm northguineahills: The main reason I'm still w/ my wife, despite the geographical distance, is that we have nearly identical music/art aesthetic tastes, even though we have polar opposite personalities.
	2:05pm tim from champaign: Bryce, title your show "Music To Run Over Shopping Carts With My Car".
	2:06pm northguineahills: I think I've heard of the name, Georg Friedrich Haas, but never his music, mee digs!
	2:07pm chresti: How long have you been together, ngh?
	2:07pm chresti: Haha tim
	2:08pm northguineahills: @tim: you need to start w/ this book, to find them: books.google.com... @chresti 12 years, 5 married...
	2:09pm mic_test: It's a shame you don't have the address to send "stubot" a Blender T-shirt.
	2:09pm Bryce: ngh, a gotta-hear haas: wfmu.org...
	2:10pm steveo: bryce your reply to stubot on that playlist at 1:22pm is so thoughtful and positive; yay
	2:11pm tim from champaign: @ngh - Perfect!
	2:14pm northguineahills: Danks, Bryce!
	2:19pm Krys O.: I'll say it again. Bryce, your show is a high point of my Friday and I find virtually everything you play exhilarating. I enjoy drones, hums, clanking noises, as well as pop, rock, jazz, opera, hip hop, soul, r'n'b, polka, ad infinitum. When I've had MRIs, I imagine that I'm at an industrial music concert and I find it enjoyable. Down with genre-bashing!
	2:20pm Bryce: :) was hard to be annoyed after a comment that funny!
	2:20pm coelacanth: steveo @ 12.59 no but i did tell them about a commenter's response to 2 dumpsters crashing into each-other in slow motion (but i couldn't, and don't remember what show that was on...Bryce? i've yet to hear that recording.)
	2:21pm sphere: I've done dating sites and it is fascinating that so many people end up saying the equivalent of "I love all music--country AND western!"
	2:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Back from away, and a new Haas to these ears (!)
	2:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also seconding the recommendation for In Vain.
	2:22pm adrian in mpls: off to a tedious meeting - thanks, as always, Bryce! Happy Friday!
	2:24pm northguineahills: What Krys said! I need a Haas Haus!
	2:24pm steveo: /me nods to coel
	2:24pm Bryce: krys, omg, thank you!! your thoughtful comments are always so kind. i'm truly lucky to not just have the easiest job in the world, here, but to be blessed with a "room" full of people who are enjoying the same stuff. the only time in my life i get to experience this in regards to music, tbh.
	2:24pm steveo: (tried to google for dumpsters crashing, unsuccessfully)
	2:25pm Passaic River Blues: @Krys: hear, hear!
	2:25pm Hi from Holland: Haas
	2:26pm northguineahills: When people ask me what music I like, I say, "every genre, every culture, every geography, and every temporal period". (they then get confused)
	2:26pm mic_test: Haas giving us a master class in tension & release here today.
	2:26pm sphere: Haas reminds me of a kindler gentler Scelsi.
	2:27pm chresti: Thanks Bryce, agree with krys.
	2:28pm Krys O.: @ngh! YOWZA!
	2:29pm tim from champaign: Good answer, ngh.
	2:29pm Robert Tables: "I like all the notes, in any order." I aspire to achieve this level of enlightenment.
	2:29pm steveo: haha ngh i say i like everything but lately i'm really into [song i heard on fmu an hour ago]
	2:30pm William Main: Great show, Bryce! It takes courage to play this kind of music (especially these very long tracks). We are lucky to have WFMU and WFMU is lucky to have listeners who appreciate this kind of programming.
	2:30pm northguineahills: The "country & western" response is a Blues Brothers quote.
	2:30pm sphere: yup :)
	2:30pm Krys O.: Life is too short to not like music.
	2:32pm sphere: @ngh i figured most folks would pick it up.
	2:32pm northguineahills: I could say my tastes are eclectic, but to most people, that means they like rock and hiphop….
	2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to see a game show where the host plays increasingly "not good" music until the last contestant gives up. The interviews afterwards would be the highlight.
	2:33pm Lixiviated Life: "Obey little. Resist much."
	2:34pm northguineahills: @Ken: Bad rock/pop music has made me leave many restaurants/bars (I can tolerate bad hiphop).
	2:35pm Carmichael: Wow, I just went back and read that whole "Marbles in a Blender" playlist from 2012. Our boy Stubot woke up on the wrong side of the snore fort.
	2:37pm Bryce: coelacanth, blumin and i were talking about that the other week. i think that one mighta happened during him!
	2:37pm tim from champaign: Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.
	2:37pm sphere: these days Muzak is actually trying to recreate entire classic songs like Stand By Me, and that annoys me more than anything. they're perfect cover tunes that are wrong in every way.
	2:38pm Michael 98145: stubot is just tobuts backward
	2:38pm Nicholas from Montclair: Was about to listen to the 2 CD set of experimental Latin American music I won during your marathon show, but when I saw the clock was 1 p.m. I thought, "Well, heck, why don't I just listen to Bryce live right now?"
	2:40pm Michael 98145: indeed
	2:42pm northguineahills: @Nicholas: I'm jealous!
	2:42pm northguineahills: Clara Maida, new to me and digdug!
	2:42pm steveo: lol "Doppelklänger"; digging
	2:42pm chresti: My boyfriend, Franco, has made somewhat good natured, snarky comments on Blumin's show before
	2:42pm steveo: jinx!
	2:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: N from M: is that 2CD set the one on the Sound of Pig label? It's a great one...
	2:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...or Pogus, can't remember the one I'm thinking of now..
	2:43pm chresti: And he is one to use a dumpster analogy
	2:43pm cuteCloud: thank ewe Bryce! good music for working along with :)
	2:47pm mic_test: Must confess that (in limited doses) I enjoy the easy listening channel in the cable TV music-only tier ("Music Choice"). The selections are mainly from the peak era of the 60s and 70s, and along with that sound, it's enjoyable to hear what they did with the pop/rock hits of the day. So many Beatles covers...
	2:49pm Michael 98145: this is quite - cinematic. loverly.
	2:50pm chresti: I like working with instrumental music, helps me focus
	2:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CLICKY.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: Love Love Love Somei Satoh
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: ...i may have my chronology wrong but i feel his work has influenced many others who are better known
	2:53pm northguineahills: I can't focus w/o any kind of music, (it staves off the ADD).
	2:53pm chresti: Thanks Bryce, I learned about you after someone mentioned the strange sounds you played, I thought hmmm, must investigate!
	2:53pm tim from champaign: @mic_test - I'm with you. Give me Laurence Welk over Austin City Limits any time.
	2:54pm cuteCloud: me too @chresti! I switch between here and nts and my soundcloud stream to hit that sweet spot
	2:55pm cuteCloud: wfmu has the best chat tho ;)
	2:56pm Bryce: wow, thanks for all the positive vibes, everyone....as always! such a pleasure to share fri. afternoons with you. :)
	2:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: See ya, Bryce. Have a good weekend.
	2:56pm Sem: So far, high concept. Just this: the Elgin Marbles in a blender. Rights issue right off the bat. Thanks for the sound and chat, Bryce.Later.
	2:57pm Krys O.: Thankee, Bryce and all!
	2:57pm steveo: we had some chimes like this in high school band. great stuff. (pretty sure) image: s1.lonestarpercussion.com... thanks; wonderful show!
	2:58pm Michael 98145: Hmm. myarchetypes.bandcamp.com...
	2:58pm mic_test: Thanks for the high modern listening party, Bryce. Another fine Friday afternoon.
	2:58pm Michael 98145: Thank you again, Bryce
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Bryce @2.37 thanks. i have to try to find it (or ,ask him...)
	2:58pm chresti: Same here, ngh
	2:58pm northguineahills: happy thanks, Bryce!
	2:58pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Bryce!
	2:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for all the marbles Bryce!
	2:59pm P-90: Thanks Bryce!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!

Bryce: Playlist from May 31, 2019

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

	1:03pm tim from champaign: Hello Bryce and evereebody! A highlight for me of working at the U of Illinois library was seeing a Xenakis score. It was pretty inspiring to see.
	1:08pm Chris from DC: Yay, Parmegiani
	1:08pm William Main: I just found a quote from Xenakis regarding Persepolis: “neither a work of theater, nor a ballet, nor an event. It is visual symbolism, paralleled in sound, and in the end it is sound –music—that must prevail at all costs.”
	1:09pm G: Interesting background on the event where the original "Persepolis" was performed... Wiki: "The 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire consisted of an elaborate set of festivities that took place on 12–16 October 1971 to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Imperial State of Iran and the Achaemenid Empire by Cyrus the Great. The intent of the celebration was to demonstrate Iran's ancient civilization and history and to showcase its contemporary advances under His Imperial Majesty Mohammad Reza Shah.... The extravagance of the celebrations was striking. Some later historians came to think that this excess... contributed to events that resulted in the Iranian Revolution." I'm just guessing the future Revolutionary Guard wouldn't have been huge Xenakis/avant-garde music fans...
	1:14pm Booz: One person's utopia is another Persian's imperialist orgy of sin.
	1:15pm cuteCloud: ^^hehe
	1:19pm Mister Dobalina: Bryce, some listeners in the previous show were discussing your penmanship status & I was lead to believe that it was on point... but such was not the case. Just sayin'...just kiddin' ...there is always room for improvement...lawd knows that's the case in my own life.
	1:19pm Passaic River Blues: That article on "Persepolis" was fascinating! Thanks for the link, Sir DJ.
	1:22pm G: _De natura sonorum_ is Classical Latin for "On the Nature of Sounds." It's kind of a play on the title of Lucretius's 1C BCE epic/didactic poem _De natura rerum_ (On the Nature of Things).
	1:22pm nic: love this!!!
	1:23pm mic_test: With time and familiarity, marbles in a blender has become such a pleasantly mellow sound. To get that initial thrill now, we would need an infinite nesting of BLENDERS in blenders.
	1:24pm chresti: This goes well with my foggy head.
	1:25pm G: @mic_test: People usually don't want to lose their marbles.
	1:25pm northguineahills: Consarnit, I missed Xenakis! But, wow, Paregiani!
	1:25pm chresti: haha Booz
	1:28pm tim from champaign: My prediction for today's show is we will hear 2 1/2 songs in 3 hours.
	1:29pm Bryce: gotta make up for all the songiness of the last couple weeks
	1:30pm Bryce: ps. parmegiani dabbled in MIMERY for a couple years: www.thewire.co.uk...
	1:30pm Bryce: (pps. that shirt tho)
	1:32pm Michael 98145: i can see i'm gonna enjoy this archive. yes.
	1:32pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi there
	1:34pm Chris from DC: Oh nice, filing that article for later.
	1:38pm Booz: [Permegiani] adding almost apologetically, "That piece has since become a classic of electroacoustlc music."
	1:39pm Michiel: I would just like to comment that this is a great song to work by. I find it matches my activities quite well.
	1:39pm chresti: That shirt indeed!
	1:42pm northguineahills: I'd say, I could fill a 3 hour slot w/ one song/track, But, one can go further and do John Cage's "As slow as possible", which could have a duration of 639 years....universes.art...
	1:43pm steveo: s.m. ken is not going to go for that, ngh
	1:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: I suppose musique concrète could well describe the sound of rocks in a blender.
	1:44pm northguineahills: @steveo: It could be it's own alternate stream!
	1:45pm Michael 98145: * slow stream *
	1:46pm steveo: it exists at www.aslsp.org... !
	1:47pm northguineahills: ha!, Michael! @steveo: mixing in.... (danke!)
	1:49pm G: The blender/marbles comments today reminded me I was on the board when that started, and I could remember about what season of what year. So I went and found it in the archives. This is the original comment hahahaha: "Fri. 3/23/12 1:13pm stubot: good thing wfuv can be relied on to play MUSIC at any given hour. Hey listener- wanna hear bullshit like this? I will put marbles in a blender for you. I was making breakfast (at 1pm) and made a point to come here to the playlist and thrash this bullshit."
	1:51pm northguineahills: @G: doing the good universe's work. I couldn't place it, but I remember it!
	1:52pm Bryce: hahaaaaa THANK YOU!!! been trying to remember when that happened!
	1:53pm Booz: OMG, G, LOL.
	1:54pm tim from champaign: @ngh - I attended most of a 10 hour performance of As Slow As Possible once.
	1:54pm adrian in mpls: haha - that's great - that was prior to me being an active commenter - so it's nice to see the origin
	1:54pm cklequ: My coworkers are loving the show today. I'm pretty sure they are, at least. It's hard to get a read on these weirdos.
	1:55pm Bryce: never quite been able to wrap my brain around the idea of getting incensed at music, lmaoooo
	1:55pm adrian in mpls: someone once came into my office when yr show was playing, Bryce - and they asked me what that sound was and that it sounded like a broken air conditioner - which has been my go to description for your show to my friends
	1:55pm Mick: G - that is amazing. GFTW
	1:56pm steveo: oh that was an all-Terry Riley show; putting it on my to-do list
	1:56pm Michael 98145: whoa. i had no idea bots existed so far in the past. :)
	1:56pm Bryce: jesus, can i rent your coworkers for a couple weeks???
	1:56pm Passaic River Blues: @G: Nice! The original comment resurrected! And it's even better than one might imagine. The structure is beautiful: meaningless reference to FUV (which, while it does some things right, is several orders below FMU), pejorative yet evocatively poetical description of the Bryce aesthetic, and then a fiercely self-important statement that, hey man, I took time out of my busy day to "thrash this bullshit." LOVE IT.
	1:57pm Dave: Well this is pretty epic.
	1:57pm tim from champaign: People can get so PISSED OFF about unfamiliar music. I don't get it either Bryce. Whenever I've DJed Suicide gets people pretty incensed.
	1:58pm adrian in mpls: what would you like to do with them? i'll get you a good deal :)
	1:58pm Passaic River Blues: @steveo: That much invective for TERRY RILEY? Insane.
	1:58pm tim from champaign: Well, I guess I'd start smashing shit if I was forced to listen to modern country and Lady Gaga type pop music.
	1:59pm Michael 98145: those worst are them that sez: I won't listen to this cuz i've never heard of this... erk.
	1:59pm G: @NGH Bryce etc al.: Wasn't tough. maybe five minutes. I knew where I was living in Brooklyn when that happened, and when I moved there and moved away, so I just started with the summer of 2012 and worked backwards. Five clicks per page -- easy. I kept hitting references to "blender" in comments, referencing back to the original event. So I was hot on the trail haha.
	2:00pm Chris from DC: Haas is new to me. This is amazing.
	2:00pm Booz: The original marbles commenter seems to have lost it during "You're Nogood"
	2:01pm chresti: My boyfriend reacts like that to most of the music I listen to..esp. when it is noise/experimental
	2:01pm Michael 98145: they say, noise annoys
	2:01pm Bryce: hahaaaa, terry riley no less!!! smh
	2:02pm tim from champaign: You're Nogood is about as listenable as you can get. So funny.
	2:03pm Bryce: this is great: for years, i've had, in the back of my head, another comment-to-shirt translation...turns out it was the same guy, same show! "cant get in to 'music' that sounds like I ran over a shopping cart with my car and am dragging it for miles. Its shit like this in the middle of the afternoon that makes most people turn off wfmu, its a good thing it's listener supported, otherwise shit like this would tank it."
	2:03pm adrian in mpls: this Haas - wow
	2:03pm steveo: it's literally a pop song :)
	2:04pm steveo: it's funny such a great poet is not a fan of terry riley :D
	2:04pm northguineahills: The main reason I'm still w/ my wife, despite the geographical distance, is that we have nearly identical music/art aesthetic tastes, even though we have polar opposite personalities.
	2:05pm tim from champaign: Bryce, title your show "Music To Run Over Shopping Carts With My Car".
	2:06pm northguineahills: I think I've heard of the name, Georg Friedrich Haas, but never his music, mee digs!
	2:07pm chresti: How long have you been together, ngh?
	2:07pm chresti: Haha tim
	2:08pm northguineahills: @tim: you need to start w/ this book, to find them: books.google.com... @chresti 12 years, 5 married...
	2:09pm mic_test: It's a shame you don't have the address to send "stubot" a Blender T-shirt.
	2:09pm Bryce: ngh, a gotta-hear haas: wfmu.org...
	2:10pm steveo: bryce your reply to stubot on that playlist at 1:22pm is so thoughtful and positive; yay
	2:11pm tim from champaign: @ngh - Perfect!
	2:14pm northguineahills: Danks, Bryce!
	2:19pm Krys O.: I'll say it again. Bryce, your show is a high point of my Friday and I find virtually everything you play exhilarating. I enjoy drones, hums, clanking noises, as well as pop, rock, jazz, opera, hip hop, soul, r'n'b, polka, ad infinitum. When I've had MRIs, I imagine that I'm at an industrial music concert and I find it enjoyable. Down with genre-bashing!
	2:20pm Bryce: :) was hard to be annoyed after a comment that funny!
	2:20pm coelacanth: steveo @ 12.59 no but i did tell them about a commenter's response to 2 dumpsters crashing into each-other in slow motion (but i couldn't, and don't remember what show that was on...Bryce? i've yet to hear that recording.)
	2:21pm sphere: I've done dating sites and it is fascinating that so many people end up saying the equivalent of "I love all music--country AND western!"
	2:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Back from away, and a new Haas to these ears (!)
	2:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also seconding the recommendation for In Vain.
	2:22pm adrian in mpls: off to a tedious meeting - thanks, as always, Bryce! Happy Friday!
	2:24pm northguineahills: What Krys said! I need a Haas Haus!
	2:24pm steveo: /me nods to coel
	2:24pm Bryce: krys, omg, thank you!! your thoughtful comments are always so kind. i'm truly lucky to not just have the easiest job in the world, here, but to be blessed with a "room" full of people who are enjoying the same stuff. the only time in my life i get to experience this in regards to music, tbh.
	2:24pm steveo: (tried to google for dumpsters crashing, unsuccessfully)
	2:25pm Passaic River Blues: @Krys: hear, hear!
	2:25pm Hi from Holland: Haas
	2:26pm northguineahills: When people ask me what music I like, I say, "every genre, every culture, every geography, and every temporal period". (they then get confused)
	2:26pm mic_test: Haas giving us a master class in tension & release here today.
	2:26pm sphere: Haas reminds me of a kindler gentler Scelsi.
	2:27pm chresti: Thanks Bryce, agree with krys.
	2:28pm Krys O.: @ngh! YOWZA!
	2:29pm tim from champaign: Good answer, ngh.
	2:29pm Robert Tables: "I like all the notes, in any order." I aspire to achieve this level of enlightenment.
	2:29pm steveo: haha ngh i say i like everything but lately i'm really into [song i heard on fmu an hour ago]
	2:30pm William Main: Great show, Bryce! It takes courage to play this kind of music (especially these very long tracks). We are lucky to have WFMU and WFMU is lucky to have listeners who appreciate this kind of programming.
	2:30pm northguineahills: The "country & western" response is a Blues Brothers quote.
	2:30pm sphere: yup :)
	2:30pm Krys O.: Life is too short to not like music.
	2:32pm sphere: @ngh i figured most folks would pick it up.
	2:32pm northguineahills: I could say my tastes are eclectic, but to most people, that means they like rock and hiphop….
	2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to see a game show where the host plays increasingly "not good" music until the last contestant gives up. The interviews afterwards would be the highlight.
	2:33pm Lixiviated Life: "Obey little. Resist much."
	2:34pm northguineahills: @Ken: Bad rock/pop music has made me leave many restaurants/bars (I can tolerate bad hiphop).
	2:35pm Carmichael: Wow, I just went back and read that whole "Marbles in a Blender" playlist from 2012. Our boy Stubot woke up on the wrong side of the snore fort.
	2:37pm Bryce: coelacanth, blumin and i were talking about that the other week. i think that one mighta happened during him!
	2:37pm tim from champaign: Orange whip? Orange whip? Three orange whips.
	2:37pm sphere: these days Muzak is actually trying to recreate entire classic songs like Stand By Me, and that annoys me more than anything. they're perfect cover tunes that are wrong in every way.
	2:38pm Michael 98145: stubot is just tobuts backward
	2:38pm Nicholas from Montclair: Was about to listen to the 2 CD set of experimental Latin American music I won during your marathon show, but when I saw the clock was 1 p.m. I thought, "Well, heck, why don't I just listen to Bryce live right now?"
	2:40pm Michael 98145: indeed
	2:42pm northguineahills: @Nicholas: I'm jealous!
	2:42pm northguineahills: Clara Maida, new to me and digdug!
	2:42pm steveo: lol "Doppelklänger"; digging
	2:42pm chresti: My boyfriend, Franco, has made somewhat good natured, snarky comments on Blumin's show before
	2:42pm steveo: jinx!
	2:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: N from M: is that 2CD set the one on the Sound of Pig label? It's a great one...
	2:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...or Pogus, can't remember the one I'm thinking of now..
	2:43pm chresti: And he is one to use a dumpster analogy
	2:43pm cuteCloud: thank ewe Bryce! good music for working along with :)
	2:47pm mic_test: Must confess that (in limited doses) I enjoy the easy listening channel in the cable TV music-only tier ("Music Choice"). The selections are mainly from the peak era of the 60s and 70s, and along with that sound, it's enjoyable to hear what they did with the pop/rock hits of the day. So many Beatles covers...
	2:49pm Michael 98145: this is quite - cinematic. loverly.
	2:50pm chresti: I like working with instrumental music, helps me focus
	2:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CLICKY.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: Love Love Love Somei Satoh
	2:53pm coelacanth∅: ...i may have my chronology wrong but i feel his work has influenced many others who are better known
	2:53pm northguineahills: I can't focus w/o any kind of music, (it staves off the ADD).
	2:53pm chresti: Thanks Bryce, I learned about you after someone mentioned the strange sounds you played, I thought hmmm, must investigate!
	2:53pm tim from champaign: @mic_test - I'm with you. Give me Laurence Welk over Austin City Limits any time.
	2:54pm cuteCloud: me too @chresti! I switch between here and nts and my soundcloud stream to hit that sweet spot
	2:55pm cuteCloud: wfmu has the best chat tho ;)
	2:56pm Bryce: wow, thanks for all the positive vibes, everyone....as always! such a pleasure to share fri. afternoons with you. :)
	2:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: See ya, Bryce. Have a good weekend.
	2:56pm Sem: So far, high concept. Just this: the Elgin Marbles in a blender. Rights issue right off the bat. Thanks for the sound and chat, Bryce.Later.
	2:57pm Krys O.: Thankee, Bryce and all!
	2:57pm steveo: we had some chimes like this in high school band. great stuff. (pretty sure) image: s1.lonestarpercussion.com... thanks; wonderful show!
	2:58pm Michael 98145: Hmm. myarchetypes.bandcamp.com...
	2:58pm mic_test: Thanks for the high modern listening party, Bryce. Another fine Friday afternoon.
	2:58pm Michael 98145: Thank you again, Bryce
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Bryce @2.37 thanks. i have to try to find it (or ,ask him...)
	2:58pm chresti: Same here, ngh
	2:58pm northguineahills: happy thanks, Bryce!
	2:58pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Bryce!
	2:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for all the marbles Bryce!
	2:59pm P-90: Thanks Bryce!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!
