	3:05pm mariano: Hey Olivia, everyone!
	3:06pm Listener Robert: If this is Radio Ravioli, can we rename Stashu's show Radio Pierogi?
	3:07pm mariano: Fyi, not sure if it's on my end or not, but the stream is having some hiccups.
	3:09pm Listener Robert: Garbage Time could be renamed Radio Dump-ling.
	3:12pm northguineahills: This Soul Jazz jewel slipped my notice.... ( I usually pick up all things Soul Jazz/Universal Sound recs related..)
	3:13pm Listener Robert: And finally (I think) the late Joe Frank's "In The Dark" series could be renamed "Radio Dim Sum".
	3:13pm N: Yes Mr Fingers
	3:18pm flashbazbo: Can someone explain radio poke?
	3:19pm mariano: Oh yeah, Joe Frank... was hooked on his shows, need to revisit. Is anyone else getting steady interruptions of the FMU stream? Keeps happening with me, don't think it's my connection because everything else is working fine.
	3:19pm flashbazbo: I don’t understand a few of the newer bistros
	3:20pm bɿɒiniɒc: @mariano: no interruptions here, but sounds a trifle over modulated
	3:21pm northguineahills: I prefer radio poke salad (bonus points for the Southerners who know what that may entail).
	3:23pm fred: ADF... I only saw them three times or so, a long time ago. Not enough, I got lazy
	3:23pm listener james from westwood: Dig this Yarborough track!
	3:23pm Rob (Jerzcity): @mariano - my stream's clean as far as I've been noticing
	3:23pm steveo: poke me no questions I'll pelt you no lies
	3:24pm flashbazbo: In New York you know how to eat real fancy like. Poke salad? Uunnhhh!
	3:24pm mariano: Ok thanks for the feedback on the stream, y'all.
	3:24pm ParUbi: Hello everyone! Hi Olivia!
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: greetings Olivia and all
	3:26pm mariano: ParUbi and coelacanth∅, wussup!
	3:26pm northguineahills: Poke is a PITA to boil multiple times to get the toxins out, but tastey if done right, and grows everywhere.
	3:28pm flashbazbo: If poke is a pita that’s a wrap.
	3:28pm fred: I'm going to miss a great show tomorrow: Ikue Mori, Nate Wooley, Mary Halverson, Susan Alcorn. But I'm going to see a Lucinda Childs piece I've never seen, and dance comes first for me
	3:29pm ParUbi: Waiting to join an online seminar :\
	3:30pm P.S. Annie: "Gators gotcha granny"
	3:31pm northguineahills: damn, fred, I've seen Ikue, Nate, and Susan, but even though I'm good friends w/ one of Mary's music partners, somehow, I've never seen her live....
	3:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Alcorn = always a lovely set if one can...
	3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello.
	3:35pm fred: @ngh: I only saw her once, missing that show is very annoying, but as I said dance comes first
	3:37pm bɿɒiniɒc: Do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell?
	3:42pm fred: Also, Lucinda Childs! I'm not Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker level fan, but in that ballpark
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: hey mariano!
	3:43pm bɿɒiniɒc: hey macarena!
	3:46pm Rich in Washington: pedal steel has so much possibilities for spacey music. I also really like Marisa Anderson's almost cowboy ambient sounding music.
	3:46pm olivia: link to jesse jarnow's article: www.npr.org...
	3:46pm olivia: link to overlooked albums in 2019: toneglow.substack.com...
	3:46pm Rich in Washington: Fantastic show today, Olivia!
	3:47pm steveo: Do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell? Then here it is, quite in the wind. A family with six children, with five men, one woman and a tiny goose. Two wolves, two sheep. One tortoise, and one lion. Now, listen to me very carefully, as I tell you this before you mention it to anybody. Now they're all alive, in fact. They're all alive, except the goose, that's dead. And I am the world's best camel!
	3:52pm Webhamster Henry: The Ravioli is out of the Radio, drained, and ready to serve with a nice puttanesca sauce.
	3:53pm chresti: Hello raviolis and camels!
	3:55pm northguineahills: That was a curious piece by ex-Tortoise guitarist, Jeff Parker.... me gusta!
	3:56pm chris: the Tsunoda recording could also be the ear-protected sound of skydiving. hi, olivia and folks! enjoying the selections!
	3:56pm XVNMY: https://erstwhilerecords.bandcamp.com/album/extract-from-field-recording-archive
	4:00pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	4:01pm ParUbi: Hey chresti!
	4:02pm fred: @ngh: I've never heard Susan Alcorn live, damn. But Lucinda Childs remains wonderful, I can't miss her (music by David Lang too, played live by Maya Beiser)
	4:03pm tim from champaign (now washington): Are the fake Texas duo Hank & Slim related to the fake Texas combo Jon Wayne?
	4:07pm olivia: Hank and Slim is Robin Storey and Nigel Ayers of Nocturnal Emissions. there's a bunch of mutated, mix'd n flipp'd 'n stretched country
	4:08pm olivia: On the CD, it describes them as a a duo from the 50s / 60s, who collaborrated and then had a falling out
	4:09pm olivia: they also tell you how to make Slim's "Dream Catcher", which is made by manipulating a Sony DAT machine with rubber bands
	4:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): Very intriguing!
	4:13pm Guido from Cologne: Stringtronics! Finally got the LP! 8of cause not the original) Can it become more beautiful?
	4:13pm steveo: I've been putting Hank and Slim into the neural net text completion engine, but what you wrote above, Olivia, is better than anything it could come up with
	4:14pm Joe D.: MADLIB SAMPLED THIS!!!
	4:14pm Guido from Cologne: Stringtronics is BBC arranger Barry Forgie (in this case) on library album "Mindbender". "the holy grail of library" as they say.
	4:17pm Guido from Cologne: I used to have the vinyl version of Barry 7's Connectors with the title printed so small you can hardly read the. the cover art is beautiful though, but what does it help?
	4:19pm fred: I think I just ordered a book. Hopefully only the site was in German. Hard to tell, the site was about as skilled in foreign language as a French one, which is terrible
	4:19pm coelacanth∅: heh, Guido i thought you'd just invented the word "stringtronics" as a reference to a dream catcher involving electronic devices
	4:20pm olivia: It also says in the liner notes to Hank and Slim that "Hank made a brief comeback playing local gigs with a country/punk crossover band ... The band opened for better known acts such as k.d. lang, ZZ top, ... Hank especially liked the Thompson Twins and befriended lead singer Tom Bailey. .... However, Hank's brief comeback was not to last, as the interest for novelty punk bands died out. ... He left the music industry to return to his beloved Slim in Obscurity, Texas ... Hank and Slim remained recluses for another two decades before these recordings emerged. "(left out a lot that's on the CD case!)
	4:24pm steveo: more good stuff; hank & slim are definitely my favorite fake texas duo
	4:24pm fred: I got a second box of Jandek records from Texas this week. I got lucky and it avoided tariffs this time (somehow France sometimes deems Jandek a strategic threat)
	4:25pm yes: Is this emdr therapy?
	4:27pm Aitch: Shame Hank and Slim never did anything with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy for a fake Texan 3 piece. Nice lilting show @Olivia, hi all (howdy even).
	4:28pm yippie: i know this 1 from polkarobics
	4:28pm βrian: "Peggy Lee, Peggy Lee, I say unto thee ..."
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: i ♥ Peggy Lee
	4:30pm mariano: "Is That All There Is?" reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer's running a daycare, and the kids say "Uncle Homer, sing that funny song you always sing!" and he starts singing it.
	4:33pm fred: @mariano: did you get to ask Earth Walker about duck recipes?
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: This is lovely.
	4:35pm Rich in Washington: I hear Christine!
	4:36pm mariano: No, @fred, matter of fact it slipped my mind, thanks for the reminder! I think I passed out minutes after that exchange ;)
	4:36pm Aitch: As long as you can't hear Christeene, that's quite scary
	4:37pm Rich in Washington: Hi Aitch!
	4:37pm Ike: The addition of "a disco" doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense, come to think of it. If you're going to keep dancing as a substitute for being jaded about everything else, but you're jaded about the disco, where are you going to dance?
	4:37pm βrian: Speaking of recipes, I've been dabbling with saffron: It makes kheer especially pretty, and yes, one can add too much.
	4:38pm Rich in Washington: Oh. Cristina, I meant.
	4:38pm fred: @mariano: come to think of it, I might have done the same thing
	4:40pm βrian: @Ike: In front of one's mirror, of course: peyman.live...
	4:41pm Webhamster Henry: Is That All There is makes a kind of a cameo in John August's movie "The Nines".
	4:43pm olivia: I like its use in Mad Men too, I think it starts an episode and then does it reappear later in?
	4:43pm fred: Wasn't there a Shatner version of "Is that all there is"?
	4:43pm bɿɒiniɒc: "let's bring out the ludes and have a ball" A version with altered lyrics, by No wave singer Cristina, was available briefly in 1980. However, it offended songwriters Leiber and Stoller, who sued and were able to get it suppressed for some time. Produced by August Darnell (Kid Creole), this version was eventually re-issued in 2004, with the songwriters' blessing, as a bonus track on a Cristina compilation album - Wiki
	4:44pm Joe D.: they played it over the end credits of the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline UPN reality show from 2005. That's the first time I ever heard it. No joke.
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: Gotta take off. In case I don't make it back online, thanks for the show, Olivia! Really great. L8r, all.
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: tchau Handy
	4:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: slog lumber
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: fred if there's not...What'r they thinking?!
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: (or he)
	4:51pm Meesalikeu: kind of sounds like a noiser version of pole.
	4:54pm fred: @Coel: I'm pretty sure it was on a Stan premium, meaning I might not be a reliable witness
	4:54pm Guitar Slim: Jon Wayne is it Live! Viva Tejas....
	4:56pm yes: Thank you , Olivia
	4:56pm mariano: With this chopper sound I'm halfway expecting someone to shriek "You! Yes, you! I'm stiiiill waiting!"
	4:57pm bɿɒiniɒc: Oh jeeze. I just saw a certain orange boil on the neck of the country once declared "Is That all There Is" as his favorite song of all time. images.genius.com...
	4:59pm Aitch: @bɿɒiniɒc Just pretend it's a GIF of Josh Homme rocking out and you'll feel better.
	5:02pm Matt Warwick: This song is HOT
	5:03pm Stanley: Digging
	5:05pm yes: I’m getting my steps in
	5:06pm chris: he's a lumberjack, and he's ok...
	5:07pm mariano: Sorry, can't resist: He sleeps all night, he works all day.
	5:08pm Rich in Washington: Having grown up among gen-u-ine Pacific Northwest timber trash, the song title has frightening connotations.
	5:08pm chresti: Is that all there is (in his brain), is what I think when I hear that orange boil speak..
	5:14pm yes: :) very nice
	5:27pm tim from champaign (now washington): I had no idea Last Poets were active in the 80s.
	5:27pm coelacanth∅: it makes sense ronald mcdonald trump would relate to "is that all there is" -spoiled greedy baby that he is. he may not understand the not-that-subtleties of the song.
	5:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Olivia - I was just thinking during the last Poets song that Celluloid seems like the American cousin of On-U-Sound.
	5:36pm Meesalikeu: lafawnduh from napoleon dynamite?
	5:39pm morphe': Last Poets and Gil Scott are the origins of rap.. ".. for a few dollars more they'd start a war with some other's mothers mother..." Also found via the Pop Group sample.. Thanks for spinning Rav.
	5:43pm Handy Haversack: Clearly, I'm going to regret having missed something called "Lumberjacks in Heat."
	5:43pm olivia: lol Meesalikeu
	5:46pm Derbs: Good tunes Olivia!
	5:47pm ultradamno: Was that all the Peggy Lee there was? Hi everybody.
	5:48pm upstate sean: Hey Olivia, pasta peeps
	5:48pm ultradamno: Is that a jug in the low end?
	5:51pm geezerette: bong. bong. bong. bong.
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Appreciating.
	5:53pm coelacanth∅: on january 21, 2002 i said to myself," is that all there is -to Peggy Lee?"
	5:55pm geezerette: ha ha!
	5:56pm tim from champaign (now washington): Wow, I was not aware of this Folkways release. Thanks as always for the excellent 3 hours, Olivia!
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: That was a kicking set! Glad I made it back for it! Thanks, Olivia.
	5:57pm chresti: Thanks Olivia!
	5:57pm mariano: Great show Olivia, thanks!
	5:58pm bɿɒiniɒc: Thanks for another meditative state-inducing show, Olivia
	5:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thank you Olivia. You are pretty darn cool
	5:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Olivia
	5:58pm ultradamno: Fatal coolness is what separates the cool boys from the cool corpses.
	5:59pm Phillippe Bastille: We do have a place for you at the cool kids table, but you do have to sit on the end closest to the empty tray line

	4:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): Very intriguing!
	4:13pm Guido from Cologne: Stringtronics! Finally got the LP! 8of cause not the original) Can it become more beautiful?
	4:13pm steveo: I've been putting Hank and Slim into the neural net text completion engine, but what you wrote above, Olivia, is better than anything it could come up with
	4:14pm Joe D.: MADLIB SAMPLED THIS!!!
	4:14pm Guido from Cologne: Stringtronics is BBC arranger Barry Forgie (in this case) on library album "Mindbender". "the holy grail of library" as they say.
	4:17pm Guido from Cologne: I used to have the vinyl version of Barry 7's Connectors with the title printed so small you can hardly read the. the cover art is beautiful though, but what does it help?
	4:19pm fred: I think I just ordered a book. Hopefully only the site was in German. Hard to tell, the site was about as skilled in foreign language as a French one, which is terrible
	4:19pm coelacanth∅: heh, Guido i thought you'd just invented the word "stringtronics" as a reference to a dream catcher involving electronic devices
	4:20pm olivia: It also says in the liner notes to Hank and Slim that "Hank made a brief comeback playing local gigs with a country/punk crossover band ... The band opened for better known acts such as k.d. lang, ZZ top, ... Hank especially liked the Thompson Twins and befriended lead singer Tom Bailey. .... However, Hank's brief comeback was not to last, as the interest for novelty punk bands died out. ... He left the music industry to return to his beloved Slim in Obscurity, Texas ... Hank and Slim remained recluses for another two decades before these recordings emerged. "(left out a lot that's on the CD case!)
	4:24pm steveo: more good stuff; hank & slim are definitely my favorite fake texas duo
	4:24pm fred: I got a second box of Jandek records from Texas this week. I got lucky and it avoided tariffs this time (somehow France sometimes deems Jandek a strategic threat)
	4:25pm yes: Is this emdr therapy?
	4:27pm Aitch: Shame Hank and Slim never did anything with the Legendary Stardust Cowboy for a fake Texan 3 piece. Nice lilting show @Olivia, hi all (howdy even).
	4:28pm yippie: i know this 1 from polkarobics
	4:28pm βrian: "Peggy Lee, Peggy Lee, I say unto thee ..."
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: i ♥ Peggy Lee
	4:30pm mariano: "Is That All There Is?" reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer's running a daycare, and the kids say "Uncle Homer, sing that funny song you always sing!" and he starts singing it.
	4:33pm fred: @mariano: did you get to ask Earth Walker about duck recipes?
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: This is lovely.
	4:35pm Rich in Washington: I hear Christine!
	4:36pm mariano: No, @fred, matter of fact it slipped my mind, thanks for the reminder! I think I passed out minutes after that exchange ;)
	4:36pm Aitch: As long as you can't hear Christeene, that's quite scary
	4:37pm Rich in Washington: Hi Aitch!
	4:37pm Ike: The addition of "a disco" doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense, come to think of it. If you're going to keep dancing as a substitute for being jaded about everything else, but you're jaded about the disco, where are you going to dance?
	4:37pm βrian: Speaking of recipes, I've been dabbling with saffron: It makes kheer especially pretty, and yes, one can add too much.
	4:38pm Rich in Washington: Oh. Cristina, I meant.
	4:38pm fred: @mariano: come to think of it, I might have done the same thing
	4:40pm βrian: @Ike: In front of one's mirror, of course: peyman.live...
	4:41pm Webhamster Henry: Is That All There is makes a kind of a cameo in John August's movie "The Nines".
	4:43pm olivia: I like its use in Mad Men too, I think it starts an episode and then does it reappear later in?
	4:43pm fred: Wasn't there a Shatner version of "Is that all there is"?
	4:43pm bɿɒiniɒc: "let's bring out the ludes and have a ball" A version with altered lyrics, by No wave singer Cristina, was available briefly in 1980. However, it offended songwriters Leiber and Stoller, who sued and were able to get it suppressed for some time. Produced by August Darnell (Kid Creole), this version was eventually re-issued in 2004, with the songwriters' blessing, as a bonus track on a Cristina compilation album - Wiki
	4:44pm Joe D.: they played it over the end credits of the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline UPN reality show from 2005. That's the first time I ever heard it. No joke.
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: Gotta take off. In case I don't make it back online, thanks for the show, Olivia! Really great. L8r, all.
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: tchau Handy
	4:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: slog lumber
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: fred if there's not...What'r they thinking?!
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: (or he)
	4:51pm Meesalikeu: kind of sounds like a noiser version of pole.
	4:54pm fred: @Coel: I'm pretty sure it was on a Stan premium, meaning I might not be a reliable witness
	4:54pm Guitar Slim: Jon Wayne is it Live! Viva Tejas....
	4:56pm yes: Thank you , Olivia
	4:56pm mariano: With this chopper sound I'm halfway expecting someone to shriek "You! Yes, you! I'm stiiiill waiting!"
	4:57pm bɿɒiniɒc: Oh jeeze. I just saw a certain orange boil on the neck of the country once declared "Is That all There Is" as his favorite song of all time. images.genius.com...
	4:59pm Aitch: @bɿɒiniɒc Just pretend it's a GIF of Josh Homme rocking out and you'll feel better.
	5:02pm Matt Warwick: This song is HOT
	5:03pm Stanley: Digging
	5:05pm yes: I’m getting my steps in
	5:06pm chris: he's a lumberjack, and he's ok...
	5:07pm mariano: Sorry, can't resist: He sleeps all night, he works all day.
	5:08pm Rich in Washington: Having grown up among gen-u-ine Pacific Northwest timber trash, the song title has frightening connotations.
	5:08pm chresti: Is that all there is (in his brain), is what I think when I hear that orange boil speak..
	5:14pm yes: :) very nice
	5:27pm tim from champaign (now washington): I had no idea Last Poets were active in the 80s.
	5:27pm coelacanth∅: it makes sense ronald mcdonald trump would relate to "is that all there is" -spoiled greedy baby that he is. he may not understand the not-that-subtleties of the song.
	5:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): Olivia - I was just thinking during the last Poets song that Celluloid seems like the American cousin of On-U-Sound.
	5:36pm Meesalikeu: lafawnduh from napoleon dynamite?
	5:39pm morphe': Last Poets and Gil Scott are the origins of rap.. ".. for a few dollars more they'd start a war with some other's mothers mother..." Also found via the Pop Group sample.. Thanks for spinning Rav.
	5:43pm Handy Haversack: Clearly, I'm going to regret having missed something called "Lumberjacks in Heat."
	5:43pm olivia: lol Meesalikeu
	5:46pm Derbs: Good tunes Olivia!
	5:47pm ultradamno: Was that all the Peggy Lee there was? Hi everybody.
	5:48pm upstate sean: Hey Olivia, pasta peeps
	5:48pm ultradamno: Is that a jug in the low end?
	5:51pm geezerette: bong. bong. bong. bong.
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Appreciating.
	5:53pm coelacanth∅: on january 21, 2002 i said to myself," is that all there is -to Peggy Lee?"
	5:55pm geezerette: ha ha!
	5:56pm tim from champaign (now washington): Wow, I was not aware of this Folkways release. Thanks as always for the excellent 3 hours, Olivia!
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: That was a kicking set! Glad I made it back for it! Thanks, Olivia.
	5:57pm chresti: Thanks Olivia!
	5:57pm mariano: Great show Olivia, thanks!
	5:58pm bɿɒiniɒc: Thanks for another meditative state-inducing show, Olivia
	5:58pm Phillippe Bastille: Thank you Olivia. You are pretty darn cool
	5:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Olivia
	5:58pm ultradamno: Fatal coolness is what separates the cool boys from the cool corpses.
	5:59pm Phillippe Bastille: We do have a place for you at the cool kids table, but you do have to sit on the end closest to the empty tray line
