	3:16pm The Oscar: Happy marathonning! I mentioned this last time this was played, but having gotten into vinyl as a teen in the '90s, every single word of this song is true.
	3:17pm Bas NL: @Chi Bill.. I guess i could.. Would be great to be able to flush ransomware..
	3:18pm The Oscar: Also, having been a record store clerk in the 2010s, that last verse is equally true.
	3:18pm P20: I'm going to pledge early. Because I know how trying the marathon process is for Irwin.
	3:19pm Roberto: Props for the non-binary inclusion, Irwin!
	3:20pm Ike: Irwin’s not gotten himself paired w/a lady? This must be a first.
	3:21pm Chi Bill: I meant toilet seat shaped kybd. Yeah, had to be there him and michellllle having fun with corona drinkus.
	3:21pm The Oscar: There's a whole genre of music that I call "Uber music," which I've slowly realized the rest of the world calls "music."
	3:22pm Bas NL: .. we're half way there..
	3:22pm Woo: Bon Jovi was just trying to comfort the listener.
	3:22pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Check's in the mail, on a wing and a prayer.
	3:22pm berbo: Jon Bon Jovi contains multitudes.
	3:24pm brainiac: Irwin is, by virtue of his longevity at the station, the boss of everyone, including Ken. Except Stan. Nobody is the boss of Stan.
	3:26pm Handy Haversack: @The Oscar, as in "uber alles" or as in "heard in strangers' cars"?
	3:26pm Phillippe Bastille: I really like the Julia Jacklin. After listening to the record, though, I've found she really doesn't like being touched.
	3:28pm g: What the autism is she singing about?
	3:29pm Carmichael: I took "uber" to mean the kind of songs they perform on American Idol.
	3:29pm The Oscar: @Handy Strangers' cars-- there are a number of songs I've only ever heard when I'm too lazy to wait for the bus, which I'm fairly certain are among the most popular songs in the world.
	3:31pm Irwin: Ike: All the radio gals were taken this week, but next week: Bethany.
	3:32pm Carmichael: Behtany, of A440 fame.
	3:35pm Handy Haversack: @The Oscar: math checks out!
	3:39pm Handy Haversack: I love the Hurstemiads. Why shouldn't we get angry?
	3:39pm Carmichael: Can we still adopt anonymous studio fixtures (including DJs)?
	3:40pm flashbazbo: Ever have one of those days when you needed to take a break from social media and didn’t? Irwin: god bless your good works. Peace in 2020. Serenity! now.
	3:42pm The Oscar: Ha, thanks!!
	3:42pm Ike: Wait, Irwin doesn’t think that big tech should be allowed to do whatever it wants in all circumstances?
	👻 3:43pm βrian: Über musik macht frei.
	3:44pm Handy Haversack: @Carmichael: wfmu.org...
	3:47pm David (in London): Hello, I'm David, and I'm a hopeless FMU addict. I've been off it for almost 24 hours, and am now relapsing with bad, bad cravings. @Handy @Carmichael @Phillippe B @Mr Pumpy.
	3:48pm Handy Haversack: David! You were missed! There was a whole thing about fannies and gravedigger's biscuits on Mary's show! You'd have loved it. Definitely time to quit your job. You can't afford to miss this stuff.
	👻 3:50pm βrian: Was Fanny Ardant among them??
	3:50pm Carmichael: Thanks, Handy!
	3:51pm David (in London): @Handy - I tell you how bad it was: I gave serious consideration to slipping my iPod into my pocket, connecting to the guest Wi-Fi and sneaking out to the toilet. It was a joke yesterday but a cruel reality today.
	3:51pm queems: oh this one’s a jam
	👻 3:52pm Mark Hurst: Call 1-800-989-9368 to pledge! $20 or more to get into the prize drawings.
	3:53pm Handy Haversack: There was some speculation that that very scene might be playing out, @David. Don't worry. We left a yellow and purple light on for you. Also: Mary and Nick thanked you by name.
	👻 3:53pm Mark Hurst: Or you can use the "Internet," whatever that is, to pledge here: wfmu.org...
	👻 3:54pm Mark Hurst: @David glad you're back with us
	3:55pm The Oscar: @David I don't know how I'd manage-- if my office ever cut off WFMU access I honestly might quit.
	3:57pm David (in London): @Handy - Ha, ha, that's good to know. The Crew cares. And I will have to listen to the show on catch-up. Mary has been very supportive of our recent album in terms of airplay and I am so shallow and self-centred that I directed pledge her way as a thank you.
	👻 3:57pm βrian: Someone ought to make an Adverb Pledge.
	3:58pm David (in London): @The Oscar - I was out with a client, locked in a room all day. I figured that they probably wouldn't take kindly to having Ken's Show on in the corner... It was very bad for my well-being though.
	3:58pm Carmichael: Yes Brian, quickly.
	4:01pm The Oscar: @David Ah, I feel you-- I sometimes wonder what my coworkers would think if they knew what I was hearing at any given moment...
	4:02pm Handy Haversack: I've had to smash "speaker mute" several times today. For some reason it was Ask Handy About the Grammar Day all over the office.
	4:05pm rubyschmerling: Ruby From Amherst MA
	4:07pm Handy Haversack: Emotional roller coaster for Hoboken Jack there.
	4:08pm David (in London): @The Oscar - Headphones are one's friend. Particularly when Ken is playing songs where every chord is turned into a 7th and so on.
	👻 4:08pm Listening Out There: I thought Michael Bloomberg should have won "Superette" as a consolation prize...
	4:09pm David (in London): @Handy - "Should I have a semi-colon here?"
	4:09pm RomanDogBird: THIS IS A GOOD TUNE
	4:09pm Snoochienucci: DIL you made it!
	4:09pm Irwin: Michael Bloomberg, President of American Samoa.
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: @David, you joke, but that's kind of what the day was like! (semicolon)
	👻 4:10pm βrian: Did Bloomberg win American Samoa?
	4:10pm Snoochienucci: @Irwin at least he won something right? Also, dont confuse Biden, he may actually think hes President of American Samoa
	4:11pm brainiac: @βrian: It was his lovely parting gift
	4:12pm The Oscar: I'm seeing US Girls in a couple of months, and I'm curious to see if the turnout matches the enthusiasm on WFMU, where she's essentially Beyonce.
	4:12pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy @David when Reagan had part of his colon removed he was left with a semicolon. They had an editor standing by during the surgery
	4:12pm Handy Haversack: I have a box of American (Girl Scout cookie) Samoa(s) in my bag right now. So if it's all the same to the political process, I'm taking the win on this one.
	4:12pm Hoboken Jack: Am now devoting my life to following Chris Lightcap around, Deadhead-style.
	4:13pm David (in London): @Snoochie - Better late and never never! How's yourself?
	4:13pm Handy Haversack: @Phillippe: A period joke!
	4:14pm Snoochienucci: @DIL ehhh usual work day lol, about to get pulled into a meeting myself! no WFMU!!!!! lol
	4:14pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy My kids think of Reagan as "that guy they named the airport after". They are all in their 20s...
	4:15pm The Oscar: There was a great book about Peter Ivers that came out a few years ago. I was amazed I'd never heard of him before-- he was pretty much the conduit between several of my favorite worlds ('70s punk, early National Lampoon, David Lynch...).
	👻 4:15pm Mark Hurst: @Jack, worldwide #1 fan of Chris Lightcap - and deprived of the album!
	4:18pm David (in London): @Handy @The Oscar - I watched Reagan's last film, 'The Killers' not that long ago (Don Siegel at the directorial helm), and he was excellent.
	4:21pm Marc15: Is anyone calling 800-989-WFMU?
	4:21pm Handy Haversack: Sure, when he had a colon, there was no question (mark).
	4:21pm berbo: @Oscar - thanks for the info. Turn out my public library has that book: In heaven everything is fine :the unsolved life of Peter Ivers and the lost history of New wave theatre by Frank, Josh, Buckholtz, Charlie.
	4:25pm brainiac: Ivers's New Wave Theater presented the Angry Samoans
	4:25pm Marc15: This is not a drill
	4:25pm Phillippe Bastille: crap, i got the socks instead of the calendar. If only I had looked at the premiums list more closely...
	4:25pm David (in London): Armand Schaubroeck's last album 'Ratf.....' Great title.
	4:26pm The Oscar: Ivers was also the voice (and co-songwriter) of the Lady in the Radiator in Eraserhead!
	4:27pm Laura L: The new calendar won't have quite such icky pictures (wonderful as they are) as the 2020, we promise--2021 will be purely delightful!
	👻 4:29pm βrian: It's like a reverse tooth fairy.
	4:36pm Irwin: Oscar: I'll be having someone from RVNG Records down here in April for an Ivers interview.
	4:41pm The Oscar: @Irwin Oooh, good to know!
	4:42pm Handy Haversack: OK, everyone. I am taking myself back under and over various bits of the estuary. Keep that pledge-tastic argosy afloat! Ooo, love this song. Hope to catch the end of the show from an even longer island.
	4:43pm Irwin: "Psych Ward" is another WFMU "hit." Figures.
	4:43pm Phillippe Bastille: Nothing says "home" to me more than this Okay Kaya song
	👻 4:48pm Mark Hurst: @Handy see you on the other side
	4:54pm Ike: STIMPY IS NOT A CAT. NO! No no no! UNACCEPTABLE!
	4:55pm brainiac: OT: Bloomberg could have given everyone in the US $1 million and donated $125 million to WFMU with what he spent on campaign advertising.
	4:57pm Greg from ZONE 5: I love love LOVE this song!
	4:58pm Matt Fiveash: Turn this shit off!
	4:59pm Irwin: Matt5, the only surviving member of the Piggies!
	5:00pm Matt Fiveash: Three down, one to go!
	5:01pm Irwin: Too bad about the plane crash. You magnanimously gave up your seat to the band's accountant.
	5:03pm Matt Fiveash: You win some, you lose some
	👻 5:04pm Mark Hurst: @Ike not a cat? what is Stimpy?
	👻 5:05pm Mark Hurst: Show your support for Irwin! Call 1-800-989-9368 or pledge here: wfmu.org...
	5:06pm Chris Echo: loving the tunes!!
	5:08pm Daybreak: The Marathon Man: Sounds a bit like the Modest Mouse singer. Is it?
	5:14pm Daybreak: The Marathon Man: This sounds like a great transgendered song to me!!!!
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thuh Hoot.
	👻 5:22pm βrian: Show us a pic of the phone.
	5:24pm David in London: Hi, is Mark there?
	5:24pm Handy Haversack: Light Phone?
	5:24pm WoodsOfNH: Each Light Phone comes with a complementary bottle of Geritol.
	👻 5:26pm Alison Porchnik: Mark, I think those phones are great. Similar to the Motorola Fone I used to have, but smarter looking.
	👻 5:26pm RegisteredListener: Light phone here. www.thelightphone.com
	5:26pm Tome: bit.ly...
	5:27pm Tome: KooL !<>!
	5:27pm David in London: You have to wear your Reflectacles whilst using your Lightphone for the full Techtonic look.
	5:27pm spodiodi: Mark's interview re:light phone is here: December 2, 2019: Joe Hollier, co-founder, The Light Phone
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: If everything truly goes to hell and I end up having to get my first mobile phone, at least I know what kind I'll get!
	5:28pm spodiodi: www.wfmu.org...
	5:29pm spodiodi: first? i commend you, Handy Haversack
	👻 5:29pm βrian: @Handy: Wow, I know only one person who's resisted for so long.
	5:30pm David in London: Hey spodiodi.
	5:30pm Handy Haversack: This and other pointlessly intransigent stands are a Haversack stock-in-trade, @spodiodi! Don't even get me started on microwaves!
	5:30pm spodiodi: hi David in London
	5:31pm spodiodi: to you your stands! ask me about my boycotts sometime.
	5:31pm David in London: I still have my old Motorola pager from the mid 1990s. Perhaps I can dust it off again..?
	👻 5:32pm Mark Hurst: @David yes I'm here!
	5:33pm spodiodi: microwaves... hardcore.
	👻 5:33pm Mark Hurst: @spodiodi thanks for posting the link. It was a fun interview - Joe was live in-studio
	5:33pm Listener Robert: Just noticed: Is $4,292 a dollar for every show Irwin's done on WFMU? Or every hour? Or every year the Old Codger's been alive?
	5:33pm spodiodi: thanks for the great interview(s) and shows, Mark!
	👻 5:34pm Mark Hurst: @spodiodi thx!
	5:36pm Handy Haversack: Heh, @spodiodi, making a virtue out of a lack of counter space is another Haversackian move!
	5:37pm David in London: @spodiodi. That ‘sometime’ has now come. Tell us about your boycotts.
	5:38pm edelkakao cha cha: This is the best Beach Boys track of all time! For me at least. Unfinished but heavenly (as is the case with SMiLE! slightly earlier)
	5:39pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, @spodiodi, I haven't quit something all day long -- gimme an object!
	5:39pm Brendan: Queue Sir Richard Thompson. Nik Wallenda is going Walkin On A Wire tonight (over an active volcano).
	5:42pm Dave Miss: Good show! I’ve always imagined Irwin in a turban: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=s8hurODt-VY&feature=share
	5:44pm Irwin: Edel: There's so much going on in that BB track that's unusual. Only Brian could pull it off. It's uncopyable.
	5:48pm Ike: [New Ark] is correct.
	5:49pm PJ: Mark is correct, NewArk (not Newerk) is the correct pronunciation.
	5:49pm David in London: @Handy, is your new / old innovation the Heavyphone?
	5:50pm spodiodi: David, i guess i'll have to give them some thought to make them interesting, actually. (mostly it's just my being overly-sensitive, probably.)
	👻 5:50pm Mark Hurst: Thanks, Ike & PJ.
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: I have found a home -- it turns out that when all the DJs were saying listen online, one actually can. Radio signal here can be dodgy. And once I started listening online, suddenly all the rest just flowed out of that. Because I also really wanted to be able to thank the DJs. Also: I'm chatty. And with no cell phone, I don't have texting or social media to use as an outlet! So WFMU gets all of me. Sorry, all.
	5:51pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:44 Irwin: but an important part of Can't Wait Too Long is the riff that was already put to good use during SMiLE: at least the end of Wind Chimes comes to mind - the very same musical motif there. Brian Wilson's self-recycling was rather creative.
	👻 5:51pm Mark Hurst: @Handy, thanks - we're happy you're here
	5:54pm Handy Haversack: That means a lot, Mark Hurst. It really does. It's been a renaissance for me in many ways. Though as Kate would point out, the LAST thing I need is more hobbies ...
	5:55pm Reno D: He’s Something!! Thx, Irwin!
	5:55pm David in London: @Handy, social media’s loss is our gain, and I for one am very happy about that.
	5:56pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin & Mark--yeah, sent a pledge your way just now!
	5:56pm spodiodi: thanks Irwin! thanks Mark!
	5:56pm Bas NL: Thanks Irwin & Mark!
	5:57pm zzz: thanks Irwin and Mark great show! loved that last Marco tune
	5:57pm David in London: @spodiodi, ha ha. They don’t have to be epic to be interesting. House Rule #2 here is ‘No Whole Earth peanut butter’, so I appreciate the value of the small scale boycott.
	👻 5:57pm 12539: Thanks Irwin (& Mark)!
	5:57pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Irwin and Mark! The co-hosts with the co-most! David, that's really kind of you! I used the board to send you my e-mail address -- want to send you toward Kate's band and hear yours!
	5:59pm David in London: Handy, splendid. Let’s ‘take this offline’ as we say at high powered NFFFF meetings.
	6:12pm Daybreak: The Marathon Man: Good news everyone there is still a chance to protect Station Manager Ken by donating enough to get him to drink his own urine. It is the only way to protect him from the coronavirus now as he gave away his hazmat suit this morning.

	3:58pm David (in London): @The Oscar - I was out with a client, locked in a room all day. I figured that they probably wouldn't take kindly to having Ken's Show on in the corner... It was very bad for my well-being though.
	3:58pm Carmichael: Yes Brian, quickly.
	4:01pm The Oscar: @David Ah, I feel you-- I sometimes wonder what my coworkers would think if they knew what I was hearing at any given moment...
	4:02pm Handy Haversack: I've had to smash "speaker mute" several times today. For some reason it was Ask Handy About the Grammar Day all over the office.
	4:05pm rubyschmerling: Ruby From Amherst MA
	4:07pm Handy Haversack: Emotional roller coaster for Hoboken Jack there.
	4:08pm David (in London): @The Oscar - Headphones are one's friend. Particularly when Ken is playing songs where every chord is turned into a 7th and so on.
	👻 4:08pm Listening Out There: I thought Michael Bloomberg should have won "Superette" as a consolation prize...
	4:09pm David (in London): @Handy - "Should I have a semi-colon here?"
	4:09pm RomanDogBird: THIS IS A GOOD TUNE
	4:09pm Snoochienucci: DIL you made it!
	4:09pm Irwin: Michael Bloomberg, President of American Samoa.
	4:10pm Handy Haversack: @David, you joke, but that's kind of what the day was like! (semicolon)
	👻 4:10pm βrian: Did Bloomberg win American Samoa?
	4:10pm Snoochienucci: @Irwin at least he won something right? Also, dont confuse Biden, he may actually think hes President of American Samoa
	4:11pm brainiac: @βrian: It was his lovely parting gift
	4:12pm The Oscar: I'm seeing US Girls in a couple of months, and I'm curious to see if the turnout matches the enthusiasm on WFMU, where she's essentially Beyonce.
	4:12pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy @David when Reagan had part of his colon removed he was left with a semicolon. They had an editor standing by during the surgery
	4:12pm Handy Haversack: I have a box of American (Girl Scout cookie) Samoa(s) in my bag right now. So if it's all the same to the political process, I'm taking the win on this one.
	4:12pm Hoboken Jack: Am now devoting my life to following Chris Lightcap around, Deadhead-style.
	4:13pm David (in London): @Snoochie - Better late and never never! How's yourself?
	4:13pm Handy Haversack: @Phillippe: A period joke!
	4:14pm Snoochienucci: @DIL ehhh usual work day lol, about to get pulled into a meeting myself! no WFMU!!!!! lol
	4:14pm Phillippe Bastille: @Handy My kids think of Reagan as "that guy they named the airport after". They are all in their 20s...
	4:15pm The Oscar: There was a great book about Peter Ivers that came out a few years ago. I was amazed I'd never heard of him before-- he was pretty much the conduit between several of my favorite worlds ('70s punk, early National Lampoon, David Lynch...).
	👻 4:15pm Mark Hurst: @Jack, worldwide #1 fan of Chris Lightcap - and deprived of the album!
	4:18pm David (in London): @Handy @The Oscar - I watched Reagan's last film, 'The Killers' not that long ago (Don Siegel at the directorial helm), and he was excellent.
	4:21pm Marc15: Is anyone calling 800-989-WFMU?
	4:21pm Handy Haversack: Sure, when he had a colon, there was no question (mark).
	4:21pm berbo: @Oscar - thanks for the info. Turn out my public library has that book: In heaven everything is fine :the unsolved life of Peter Ivers and the lost history of New wave theatre by Frank, Josh, Buckholtz, Charlie.
	4:25pm brainiac: Ivers's New Wave Theater presented the Angry Samoans
	4:25pm Marc15: This is not a drill
	4:25pm Phillippe Bastille: crap, i got the socks instead of the calendar. If only I had looked at the premiums list more closely...
	4:25pm David (in London): Armand Schaubroeck's last album 'Ratf.....' Great title.
	4:26pm The Oscar: Ivers was also the voice (and co-songwriter) of the Lady in the Radiator in Eraserhead!
	4:27pm Laura L: The new calendar won't have quite such icky pictures (wonderful as they are) as the 2020, we promise--2021 will be purely delightful!
	👻 4:29pm βrian: It's like a reverse tooth fairy.
	4:36pm Irwin: Oscar: I'll be having someone from RVNG Records down here in April for an Ivers interview.
	4:41pm The Oscar: @Irwin Oooh, good to know!
	4:42pm Handy Haversack: OK, everyone. I am taking myself back under and over various bits of the estuary. Keep that pledge-tastic argosy afloat! Ooo, love this song. Hope to catch the end of the show from an even longer island.
	4:43pm Irwin: "Psych Ward" is another WFMU "hit." Figures.
	4:43pm Phillippe Bastille: Nothing says "home" to me more than this Okay Kaya song
	👻 4:48pm Mark Hurst: @Handy see you on the other side
	4:54pm Ike: STIMPY IS NOT A CAT. NO! No no no! UNACCEPTABLE!
	4:55pm brainiac: OT: Bloomberg could have given everyone in the US $1 million and donated $125 million to WFMU with what he spent on campaign advertising.
	4:57pm Greg from ZONE 5: I love love LOVE this song!
	4:58pm Matt Fiveash: Turn this shit off!
	4:59pm Irwin: Matt5, the only surviving member of the Piggies!
	5:00pm Matt Fiveash: Three down, one to go!
	5:01pm Irwin: Too bad about the plane crash. You magnanimously gave up your seat to the band's accountant.
	5:03pm Matt Fiveash: You win some, you lose some
	👻 5:04pm Mark Hurst: @Ike not a cat? what is Stimpy?
	👻 5:05pm Mark Hurst: Show your support for Irwin! Call 1-800-989-9368 or pledge here: wfmu.org...
	5:06pm Chris Echo: loving the tunes!!
	5:08pm Daybreak: The Marathon Man: Sounds a bit like the Modest Mouse singer. Is it?
	5:14pm Daybreak: The Marathon Man: This sounds like a great transgendered song to me!!!!
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thuh Hoot.
	👻 5:22pm βrian: Show us a pic of the phone.
	5:24pm David in London: Hi, is Mark there?
	5:24pm Handy Haversack: Light Phone?
	5:24pm WoodsOfNH: Each Light Phone comes with a complementary bottle of Geritol.
	👻 5:26pm Alison Porchnik: Mark, I think those phones are great. Similar to the Motorola Fone I used to have, but smarter looking.
	👻 5:26pm RegisteredListener: Light phone here. www.thelightphone.com
	5:26pm Tome: bit.ly...
	5:27pm Tome: KooL !<>!
	5:27pm David in London: You have to wear your Reflectacles whilst using your Lightphone for the full Techtonic look.
	5:27pm spodiodi: Mark's interview re:light phone is here: December 2, 2019: Joe Hollier, co-founder, The Light Phone
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: If everything truly goes to hell and I end up having to get my first mobile phone, at least I know what kind I'll get!
	5:28pm spodiodi: www.wfmu.org...
	5:29pm spodiodi: first? i commend you, Handy Haversack
	👻 5:29pm βrian: @Handy: Wow, I know only one person who's resisted for so long.
	5:30pm David in London: Hey spodiodi.
	5:30pm Handy Haversack: This and other pointlessly intransigent stands are a Haversack stock-in-trade, @spodiodi! Don't even get me started on microwaves!
	5:30pm spodiodi: hi David in London
	5:31pm spodiodi: to you your stands! ask me about my boycotts sometime.
	5:31pm David in London: I still have my old Motorola pager from the mid 1990s. Perhaps I can dust it off again..?
	👻 5:32pm Mark Hurst: @David yes I'm here!
	5:33pm spodiodi: microwaves... hardcore.
	👻 5:33pm Mark Hurst: @spodiodi thanks for posting the link. It was a fun interview - Joe was live in-studio
	5:33pm Listener Robert: Just noticed: Is $4,292 a dollar for every show Irwin's done on WFMU? Or every hour? Or every year the Old Codger's been alive?
	5:33pm spodiodi: thanks for the great interview(s) and shows, Mark!
	👻 5:34pm Mark Hurst: @spodiodi thx!
	5:36pm Handy Haversack: Heh, @spodiodi, making a virtue out of a lack of counter space is another Haversackian move!
	5:37pm David in London: @spodiodi. That ‘sometime’ has now come. Tell us about your boycotts.
	5:38pm edelkakao cha cha: This is the best Beach Boys track of all time! For me at least. Unfinished but heavenly (as is the case with SMiLE! slightly earlier)
	5:39pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, @spodiodi, I haven't quit something all day long -- gimme an object!
	5:39pm Brendan: Queue Sir Richard Thompson. Nik Wallenda is going Walkin On A Wire tonight (over an active volcano).
	5:42pm Dave Miss: Good show! I’ve always imagined Irwin in a turban: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=s8hurODt-VY&feature=share
	5:44pm Irwin: Edel: There's so much going on in that BB track that's unusual. Only Brian could pull it off. It's uncopyable.
	5:48pm Ike: [New Ark] is correct.
	5:49pm PJ: Mark is correct, NewArk (not Newerk) is the correct pronunciation.
	5:49pm David in London: @Handy, is your new / old innovation the Heavyphone?
	5:50pm spodiodi: David, i guess i'll have to give them some thought to make them interesting, actually. (mostly it's just my being overly-sensitive, probably.)
	👻 5:50pm Mark Hurst: Thanks, Ike & PJ.
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: I have found a home -- it turns out that when all the DJs were saying listen online, one actually can. Radio signal here can be dodgy. And once I started listening online, suddenly all the rest just flowed out of that. Because I also really wanted to be able to thank the DJs. Also: I'm chatty. And with no cell phone, I don't have texting or social media to use as an outlet! So WFMU gets all of me. Sorry, all.
	5:51pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:44 Irwin: but an important part of Can't Wait Too Long is the riff that was already put to good use during SMiLE: at least the end of Wind Chimes comes to mind - the very same musical motif there. Brian Wilson's self-recycling was rather creative.
	👻 5:51pm Mark Hurst: @Handy, thanks - we're happy you're here
	5:54pm Handy Haversack: That means a lot, Mark Hurst. It really does. It's been a renaissance for me in many ways. Though as Kate would point out, the LAST thing I need is more hobbies ...
	5:55pm Reno D: He’s Something!! Thx, Irwin!
	5:55pm David in London: @Handy, social media’s loss is our gain, and I for one am very happy about that.
	5:56pm Laura L: Thanks, Irwin & Mark--yeah, sent a pledge your way just now!
	5:56pm spodiodi: thanks Irwin! thanks Mark!
	5:56pm Bas NL: Thanks Irwin & Mark!
	5:57pm zzz: thanks Irwin and Mark great show! loved that last Marco tune
	5:57pm David in London: @spodiodi, ha ha. They don’t have to be epic to be interesting. House Rule #2 here is ‘No Whole Earth peanut butter’, so I appreciate the value of the small scale boycott.
	👻 5:57pm 12539: Thanks Irwin (& Mark)!
	5:57pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Irwin and Mark! The co-hosts with the co-most! David, that's really kind of you! I used the board to send you my e-mail address -- want to send you toward Kate's band and hear yours!
	5:59pm David in London: Handy, splendid. Let’s ‘take this offline’ as we say at high powered NFFFF meetings.
	6:12pm Daybreak: The Marathon Man: Good news everyone there is still a chance to protect Station Manager Ken by donating enough to get him to drink his own urine. It is the only way to protect him from the coronavirus now as he gave away his hazmat suit this morning.
