Listener comments!
	10:57am Otis Fodder: Hello Melon-Balls and Mint-Sugar Garnishes!
	11:00am Sonderangebot: I'd love to start my day with some melons and balls! Yay! Hi!
	11:00am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Otis and Friendly Persuaders!
	11:01am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Sonderangebot!
	11:03am Jan Turkenburg: Otis, your mic sound is a bit distorted.
	11:05am Sonderangebot: Hi Jan :)
	11:05am Otis Fodder: Oooh, let's test it after this song
	11:09am Jan Turkenburg: The music is ok. And it just sounds like your too close to the mic.
	11:09am Carmichael: Heya Otis and seddless green grapes.
	11:09am Carmichael: Your voice is overmodulating.
	11:10am Jan Turkenburg: That was the word I was looking for, Thanks, Carmichael :-)
	11:11am Sonderangebot: Nope still not good, probably your cat ate it during the night.
	11:12am Jan Turkenburg: Music sounds good and when you moving away from the mic it salso sounds good
	11:12am Carmichael: Much better now that you're further away from the mic.
	11:12am Sonderangebot: Speak softly, very moistly, from a distance, it should be ok
	11:13am Carmichael: HA HA, speak moistly.
	11:14am Jan Turkenburg: the last 3 were good thissis
	11:15am Carmichael: Do you have an alternate mic input?
	11:16am Jan Turkenburg: This sounds much better
	11:17am Carmichael: Sounds much cleaner, no distortion. you could raise the level a bit.
	👻 11:23am Kat in Chicago: That watermelon basket seems like an awful lot of work for something that isn't even that cute. Just chop up the fruit and put it in a nice bowl.
	11:23am Otis Fodder: Thanks all for helping diagnose mic issues. It was the channel on the mackie mixer, almost positive, when I switched to another mic line input we were okay. Thanks again!!
	11:25am Sonderangebot: Hi Kat, the person who likes that basket perhaps has an obsession with balls and round things.
	11:28am Otis Fodder: So many balls!
	11:32am Carmichael: This sounds like the music from The Dating Game.
	👻 11:33am Kat in Chicago: @Sonderangebot like this lady? youtu.be...
	11:42am solo mon: Heloo0OoooO John Esquagas other nugget!
	11:43am Sonderangebot: Yes you took out Bertha and Tina! @Kat yes ... balls with "Ernest Lush"... Hi Solo!
	11:44am solo mon: Sonderangebot hi hi
	11:45am Otis Fodder: Mornin' Solo!
	11:47am solo mon: We were obsessed w John esuagas nugget as the commercials constantly played on the tv in SF in the 90s. He was one of those guys who insisted on being in his commercials. A sloppy spokesmodel in a ten gallon hat!
	11:48am Otis Fodder: I have been there so many times Solo, but in the 90s. Wish I could have visited in the 60s or 70s.
	11:48am solo mon: Then he opened one in Vegas called “John Esuagas Other Nugget”
	11:48am Otis Fodder: Did he?! Fantastic!
	11:49am solo mon: they always had some ripe talent showcased at ten nugget
	11:50am Carmichael: www.nevadamagazine.com...
	11:50am solo mon: I was personally obsessed with the peppermill
	11:52am Otis Fodder: The peppermill, have stayed there when visiting (one of my favs) + hit the lobby many times for watered-down drinks while waiting for friends to go elsewhere. Buffet was not too shabby either, won't get you sick like Cal Neva $1.99 steak and eggs in the 90s.
	11:53am solo mon: Looks like they remodeled it to look “classy”but back in the 90s it was all purple and pink
	11:53am Otis Fodder: Sond - Is that postcard link for the nugget online, if so would you share here?
	11:55am solo mon: We saw Charo at the nugget once man that was amazing
	11:56am solo mon: The sound was very good
	11:56am Sonderangebot: I have the same card at home but here it is: www.flickr.com...
	11:57am Otis Fodder: That's the one! Thanks Sondy!
	12:04pm solo mon: What’s wrong w Bertha and Tina’s eyes???
	12:07pm solo mon: Apparently one of the tests is to identify a drawing of an elephant?
	12:08pm solo mon: Yes the rock cats! I want to see that.
	12:10pm ARB: Hi Friends!
	12:10pm Otis Fodder: Solo --- Lion and Rhino and Camel
	12:11pm Otis Fodder: Hiiii ARB
	12:14pm solo mon: ARB!
	12:17pm ARB: I'm watching a Ukranian newcaster lose her tooth mid-broadcast with this as the soundtrack
	12:19pm Bri The Beatnik: Otis, have you ever heard the Ultra Lounge collection?
	12:19pm solo mon: I just keep thinking of the zookeeper character in mighty boosh and how he doesn’t know what any of the animals are called.
	12:20pm Otis Fodder: Hi Bri. Oh yes, love that series!
	12:21pm solo mon: “The black and white chinese guys that eat sticks and leaves” “The pandas?”
	12:22pm solo mon: ARB sounds like one of my nightmares !
	12:22pm Otis Fodder: Mighty Boosh is so good. Need to watch again in full, been over a decade.
	12:22pm Bri The Beatnik: I was just listening to it, then I remembered your show was on!
	12:23pm solo mon: Hi Bri! Ultra lounge series is solid.
	12:23pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Solo! It really is!
	12:24pm solo mon: I loved the boosh, also Noel’s other show, Luxury Comedy.
	12:25pm solo mon: Yeah that would be a fun thing to re watch! Putting that in the cue (or queue)!
	12:26pm Bri The Beatnik: I haven’t watched it. My friend told me I need to watch it!
	12:27pm Bri The Beatnik: This song sounds like a loungy Minha Meninha
	12:28pm Otis Fodder: Oh don't know Minha Meninha, but will check out post-show. Thanks Bri!
	12:29pm Bri The Beatnik: You’re welcome Otis! It’s by Os Mutantes!
	12:30pm Otis Fodder: Oh, I know Mutantes. Nice, will dig in!
	12:31pm Sonderangebot: Tah Zay is kind of how you'd pronounce it
	12:32pm wendy del formaggio: This mic break is like Romper Room! Hi Otis! ❤️
	👻 12:33pm Kat in Chicago: So nice of you, Otis! Thank you! There's a link on my profile page to the Soundcloud.
	👻 12:33pm Kat in Chicago: Caveat: the music is not very Sheena's :)
	12:39pm solo mon: I love a nipple flower
	12:40pm Otis Fodder: We all have very diverse tastes, sound-hoppers here!
	12:41pm solo mon: That brazil 77 album has a nipple mountain on the cover, very discrete from what I remember
	12:42pm solo mon: Kat what’s your music like?
	12:43pm Otis Fodder: Polka Rap
	12:45pm Otis Fodder: Hi Wendy!
	12:46pm solo mon: Oh sorry Brazil 66 album cover, fool on the hill- the back side has a tit mountain. I had it fo years and didn’t see it til I SAW it lol
	12:47pm solo mon: Beautiful song!
	12:47pm Otis Fodder: Yes, THAT '66 album, the mountain tit. Noticed it years after as well.
	12:48pm solo mon: A tasteful nude!
	👻 12:50pm Kat in Chicago: Haha, I don't think I've played any polka rap! It's mostly electronic with a tilt to "underground" techno/house, maybe half dance music, mostly new releases. It's a show that's been on the station for 20 years and has morphed from its origins (which you can infer from the show name). I've had it since 2013. I do sneak in some randomness from time to time if I feel like playing something off-genre and I can make it fit.
	👻 12:51pm Kat in Chicago: My friend has (or had, it's dormant atm) a record label called "Tasteful Nudes." That's a fun T-shirt to wear.
	12:51pm Mike Sin: Dramatic stereo panning on the keys was making me sway for a minute there!
	👻 12:53pm Kat in Chicago: I really like this Kool & The Gang track.
	12:53pm Otis Fodder: Hi Mike, nice to see you! Welcome!
	12:54pm Linda Lee: yes dear thank you!! the perfect vibe for my day's journey! hi Otis!
	12:55pm Linda Lee: you wouldn't believe the merde i'm neck deep in here, love. this should do it..
	12:55pm Mike Sin: Hi Otis! Yeah, I'm vibin'... waiting to jump on... you guessed it ... a Zoom meeting for work.
	12:56pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'm a bit late (as usual). Good day, All!
	👻 12:56pm Kat in Chicago: Oh dear LL, good luck with whatever you are mired in.
	👻 12:56pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Hopey!
	12:56pm Linda Lee: hi Hopey! how are you? thanks so much Kat! :-)
	12:57pm Otis Fodder: Nice Mike! I know those Zoom meetings all so well as many of us do now. And hi Hopey and LL!
	12:57pm Linda Lee: just meaning to get 35 years' worth of personal belongings into a single closet. how does one do this?
	12:58pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hey Kat, how are you! Hi Linda, is your mire related to moving?
	12:58pm Otis Fodder: Ah, the purge LL. I bet you feel good though, going through stuff. I do everytime I move, but wow... the time!
	12:59pm Linda Lee: @Hopey ~ it is, dear! looks like my 4th serious buyer may be the one! they've had the bank over.
	1:00pm Linda Lee: Otis love i must say. it's been literally 40 years of moving now & i'm bushed. enough. i wish to rid myself of most everything that doesn't move me.
	1:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Linda, that sounds very promising. Fingers crossed for you!
	1:01pm Linda Lee: thank you so much Hopey! xxx
	1:02pm joe: 'ello folks
	👻 1:02pm Kat in Chicago: I'm curious where you're moving to, Linda?
	1:03pm Linda Lee: don't know yet darlin! i'm free as a bee.
	1:04pm Linda Lee: ergo, the downsizing to fit into a closet. i have the use of a closet while i flit around.
	1:06pm Linda Lee: i'm inspired by a photo i have of a young monk in his room. one room, filled with the things he likes. goals!
	1:07pm Linda Lee: i hope to wind up in a nice room. period!
	1:07pm joe: My aunt tried to make one of those Watermelon Baskets when I was a kid. It didn't work out the way it was supposed to. There was a lot of cursing, tears and very misshapen melon balls.
	1:09pm Linda Lee: this is why valium was so popular then.
	1:10pm solo mon: Kat your radio show sounds great! I was a electronic club dj for about 20 years, I get it! Gonna check it out later for sure
	1:10pm Sonderangebot: Just going to lie in bed now and listen to that tape =D
	1:10pm solo mon: Incel thoughts
	1:11pm Otis Fodder: No Fap Fucker
	1:11pm Linda Lee: if sexual frustration had a voice..
	1:12pm solo mon: Before 4chan there were answering machines?!
	👻 1:12pm Kat in Chicago: Wow solo mon, you have quite a musical range. Do you have any of your club mixes online?
	1:13pm Linda Lee: before the net totally.
	1:14pm Linda Lee: 'so much fun 20 minutes seemed like 60.'
	1:15pm Linda Lee: i'm not sure i can concentrate on my chores now, Otis! :-D
	1:15pm Rich in Washington: Hellooooo Oooootis! Been listening all morning but puttering about the house away from the Computron.
	1:16pm Otis Fodder: Just like reading a comment board for too long here. Opinions are like...
	1:16pm Otis Fodder: Hi ya Rich!
	👻 1:16pm Kat in Chicago: I'll cosign that male gynecologist comment.
	1:17pm Otis Fodder: Great one Kat!
	1:17pm Linda Lee: absolutely right!
	1:17pm Otis Fodder: I haven't listened to this tape in over 25 years so it's entertaining for me here.
	1:26pm solo mon: Very interesting Otis, I’m glad you are playing this.
	1:28pm solo mon: Kat, I don’t think I do have any mixes online.
	1:28pm Otis Fodder: Will archive all these online, on my list. Try to fill gaps with the 9 volumes I have and only know of 13 in total and that is the last one I have. Here are the volumes I added to Discogs - www.discogs.com...
	1:29pm solo mon: Hey Rich! How’s Washington today?
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: I missed out on so much during the Golden Age of Cassette Releases. I love how you and Don-O are sharing this kind of stuff.
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: It's extra Washingtony. I really wish it would rain soon, though.
	1:30pm Otis Fodder: Wish I would have saved more tapes after many moves. Thankfully, used to trade with both Greg and Don in the mid-90s... so they have tapes too!
	1:30pm solo mon: So hot and mugggy right?
	1:30pm Rich in Washington: How's things across the creek for you, solo mon?
	1:31pm solo mon: Is ok. We are all a little sad at what they r doing to our people.
	1:31pm Rich in Washington: We're fortunate that we're rather high up, altitude-wise and surrounded by trees, so it's usually a bit cooler here. Downside: we're also surrounded either by rednecks or well-off rural entitled white people.
	1:31pm Linda Lee: oh man.. this guy was really half baked.
	1:32pm Otis Fodder: Watching what is happening in Portland daily. It's so screwed.
	1:32pm Otis Fodder: So baked!
	1:32pm Rich in Washington: It's super disheartening. The only small solace is that people outside PDX/PNW are watching it, appalled.
	1:33pm Otis Fodder: Canadians are watching it, appalled as well.
	1:33pm Rich in Washington: Last night looked sort of encouraging. Thousands of 'moms' marching peacefully. Also a cadre of dads toting leafblowers supporting them.
	1:34pm Linda Lee: sounds like my neighborhood, Rich. guess who the kinder neighbors are.
	1:35pm Otis Fodder: The leafblowers... the only sorta hot-air talking that I WANT.
	1:37pm Rich in Washington: Lots of Trump signs, flags and banners between my house and town/work. My middle finger's getting sunburned.
	👻 1:39pm Kat in Chicago: Chicago's about to get our own secret federal agent invasion, apparently, although our mayor is fighting it. We've already got tanks driving through groups of protestors in Logan Square and cops knocking teeth out of 18-year-olds mouths...
	1:40pm Linda Lee: i guess you feel allied with the well-to-do?
	1:43pm Sonderangebot: Man does this guy ever have a life? Haha he calls so much!
	1:44pm Linda Lee: the pot guy forget he called already!
	1:45pm Otis Fodder: Whoa mannnnn, did I call or was it a dreammm mannnnn. ha!
	1:46pm Linda Lee: Otis, why are cigarettes legal?! i hate them!
	1:46pm Sonderangebot: Because they bring lots of money, that's why, LL!
	1:47pm joe: Why does the anti pot guy sound like he might be related to the cigarette hating guy?
	1:47pm Linda Lee: oh yes. this we know.
	1:47pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Anti-pot guy needs new friends.
	1:47pm Linda Lee: he does, joe!
	1:48pm Otis Fodder: Feel like pulling out American Beauty now after listening to this hater.
	1:49pm Linda Lee: i hear a little jealousy.
	1:49pm Otis Fodder: Legal here in Montreal, yay!
	👻 1:51pm Kat in Chicago: I do like "Box of Rain"...
	1:52pm Linda Lee: American Beauty is a lovely album.
	1:52pm Otis Fodder: Me too. Gonna go get the LP now. I can play the Dead, I can play anything.
	1:52pm Mr Fab: Hey ho, Otis, diggin your scene, man, just too busy to comment. (This is the closest WFMU gets to 'talk radio' - Otis Fodder taking your calls, discussing the issues!)
	1:53pm Otis Fodder: Hey Grand Poobah! Great show last night!
	1:53pm Sonderangebot: Soulmate screening process...
	1:54pm joe: What is the first question on the Soul Mate screening process? Maybe "have you ever been convicted of a felony".
	1:54pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I judge potential soulmates by their music library.
	1:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): hello! Otis! WFMU pals! Sheena's freaks!
	1:55pm Linda Lee: hi Granny! :-)
	1:55pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hey, Granny!
	1:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Ahoy, Captain Linda Lee!
	1:56pm joe: @hopey sockmonkey. I had a close friend that I would drive nuts because everytime we went to someone's house for the first time I would ask to look through their records/cassettes. Pissed him off so much :)
	1:56pm Linda Lee: are we really out there looking for potential soulmate? that might be the basic problem.
	1:57pm Linda Lee: the people i know who actively look never seem to find.
	1:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Wow, Somerville was a hot bed of zines and cassette trading back then. Never heard that one before. Cool!
	1:57pm Rich in Washington: The soulmate myth sells a lot of grief.
	1:57pm joe: Oh god what a bunch of conformist douche bags.
	1:58pm Linda Lee: for this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago.
	👻 1:58pm Kat in Chicago: If any of y'all missed Mr. Fab's fill-in for Frow Show last night, check out the archive!
	2:00pm zzm: went mandatory COVID testing missed most of the show
	2:00pm solo mon: I love this album, my childhood is in there some where lol
	2:00pm Rich in Washington: Uncle Michael's planning a big Dead lovefest this Friday.
	2:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Mr. Fab's show was so good yesterday. I wonder if any mothership listeners will now be inspired to check out our little corner of FMU?
	2:01pm Otis Fodder: Yep, bay area/Oakland 1970s memories right here.
	2:01pm solo mon: Rich who was the guy on kboo who did the dead shows on sundays, he was so funny and into it, he would isolate guitar solos and discuss them for 20 minutes
	2:02pm Linda Lee: agree, Rich. i knew a man whose girlfriend wept & told him his soulmate was someone else. she upset herself so much over this!
	2:03pm Mr Fab: Wow thanks, guys! There were plenty of unfamiliar names in the chat last night, so hopefully we made a few converts. Hi, new folks!
	2:04pm Linda Lee: sounds like i should check your archive, Mr F!
	2:04pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Rich in Washington: thanks for the warning. I cannot bear a single moment of The Dead at this point in my life.
	2:04pm Linda Lee: bad associations, Granny?
	2:06pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Having grown up in the Bay Area I'm very familiar with the Dead, however I've never owned any of their music.
	2:07pm Rich in Washington: I'm not sure, solo mon. I only know a few of the station's Dead collective. A guy named Phil? I think he's no longer on this side of the veil, as the hippies would say.
	2:07pm Linda Lee: don't think you need it, Hopey! cultural osmosis! :-D
	👻 2:07pm Kat in Chicago: Good pick, Otis.
	2:07pm Otis Fodder: I keep American Beauty on the shelf, the one album in my Dad's collection. Also a fan of John Oswald's Dark Star, really good, broken down and ripped apart. Bay area born and raised and totally get it with the Dead, oh yea.
	2:08pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Linda Lee: Yes. VERY BAD.
	2:08pm Otis Fodder: Thanks Kat. Apropos.
	2:08pm Linda Lee: shit. i'm so sorry, Granny.
	2:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Let's just say, i really really tried, and saw the worst of Dead culture.
	2:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Linda Lee: and, as always, i appreciate your caring
	2:10pm Linda Lee: oh no. that sounds ugly.
	2:10pm Mr Fab: worse than their music, ha ha?
	2:12pm Rich in Washington: I do like some Dead, but really, can't take much of it in one go. And my radio friends and I used to muse about an entire weekly show dedicated to one sole band. I mean, it's one of the things that inspired us to do Throbbing Gristle marathons, several day long marathons of Surrealism and Dada, etc. RIP weird old KBOO. Those were the days.
	2:12pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Mr Fab: yes, even worse than their music—which i REALLY TRIED to appreciate. NO. (Avant Ghetto almost was the closest i got to a true appreciation)
	2:13pm Linda Lee: i think it's all personal associations with the Dead. it's the whole trip. the music is almost incidental.
	2:13pm Mr Fab: Speaking of boring hippie nonsense, Spacebrother was showing me an Eagles album he creatively destroyed in his younger years. The entire cover and artwork was vandalized, except for the song that was theme to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, cuz that's cool. So see, we even like one Eagles song, ha
	2:14pm joe: I've gotten over my hatred for the Dead, but except for a few tracks I don't make a habit to voluntarily listen to them. That being said I've grown above threatening bodily harm to whom ever put their music on. :) I came to realize that my disgust was more for a sector of their fan base not the band. Plus how could I hate them totally that's how the neighborhood acid supply got replenished when they came to town.
	2:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): See? Even the Eagles have a redeeming factor!
	2:15pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Actually, I do own that tribute album Deadicated because Elvis Costello is on it.
	2:15pm Linda Lee: exactly my point! it's not about the music. must say i like the Dead better than i like the Eagles. associations!
	2:15pm Mr Fab: Rich: many stations have all Beatles shows. SiriusXM has channels dedicated to one artist, but then they cheat by adding all these other artists in between.
	2:15pm Otis Fodder: Dead over Eagles here as well personally.
	2:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): joe: yeah, they sure get the best acid. See? A redeeming factor!!! Thanks!
	2:16pm Linda Lee: thank you, Otis. at least there are associations possible. the Eagles are what?
	2:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dead Eagles is best!
	2:16pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh and that album Spacebrother got creative with was probably One of These Nights.
	2:17pm Mr Fab: Interesting , they are not billed as "Charles Wright and the Watts 103."But that def sounded like him singing..?
	2:17pm joe: @Rich In Washington want to hear something similar to that complete minucia of analysis to the point of surrelism. Check out Phil Schaaps Birdflight on WKCR
	2:18pm joe: @MR Fab I was so pissed at SiriusXM they just did a temporery Beastie Boys Station. I thought oh man this going to be great they are going to play all this stuff that the Beasties' love and sampled. Nope just Fight For your Right 734 times.
	2:19pm Linda Lee: that's lame.
	2:19pm joe: @Granny Spicy Tune Glad I can help I'm trying to find the positives now a days.
	2:20pm Linda Lee: is this our technocratic future musically? shoot me now.
	2:23pm Linda Lee: why is this lead vocal so funny? i'm not even stoned!
	2:24pm Mr Fab: Yep, similarly disappointed by the Beasties channel. The Beastie even refused to perform “Fight For Your Right” after their first tour. Tho one of the “influences” portions featured the Slits “Typical Girls” so hopefully that grabbed some new ears.
	2:26pm solo mon: Man I remember when jerry died, hippie girls were throwing themselves in front of cars on haight street. Talk about associations! I’ve been all over the place w the dead stuff, lost a close friend due to the scene (they died of drug related causes) I was a baby when my parents would take me to shows though and it sparked my interest in creative quirky people. Same w Oregon country fair. Young me got to see some THINGS.
	2:28pm Linda Lee: i think you were a lucky child, solo mon. exposed to a different culture from what appeared on tv.
	2:29pm Otis Fodder: Sad to hear about the Beasties station. The BB book though, whoa, so good. Want to try some of the recipies they add in.
	2:29pm solo mon: Thanks Linda Lee- come as no surprise but we also had no TV growing up. Probably why I am obsessed w pop culture now, though.
	2:30pm solo mon: Scarlett Pussy?!
	2:30pm solo mon: I think I went to school w her.
	2:30pm Rich in Washington: I remember hearing about Garcia dying on some talk radio show while driving and then minutes later seeing a young hippie girl hitchhiking on an onramp and crying her eyes out.
	2:31pm Linda Lee: good. i really don't think we should be exposed to tv until we're matured. it's too predatory a medium!
	2:31pm Otis Fodder: Prince as Camille circa Sign of the Times and Black album.
	2:31pm solo mon: Is Camille like Princes drag name???
	2:32pm Mr Fab: Oh! How I loved my bootleg copy of the Black Album.
	2:32pm Linda Lee: sure sounds that way!
	2:32pm Linda Lee: it's Rick James, bitch!
	2:33pm Otis Fodder: I LOVE those skits!
	2:33pm solo mon: The angriest I’ve ever been with my boyfriend is when he told me he said no to attending a children’s birthday party at rick James house.
	2:34pm Linda Lee: damn! don't blame you there, hon. then again, if that's the worst he's done, he's a gem.
	2:34pm Otis Fodder: I can't even imagine that. Ha.
	👻 2:35pm Kat in Chicago: Me neither.
	2:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: keep talking, i am fascinated. what a history!
	2:35pm solo mon: Kicker- it was teena Marie’s childs party!
	2:35pm joe: When the Black Album came out I was working at a mall record store. Warner Bros must have really suckered our buyer that it was going to be this thing EVERYONE was waiting for, because of what it was. We got at least 60 copies in store. I think we sold three. Most folks shopping at Sears really didn't care. :)
	2:35pm Mr Fab: a children’s birthday party at Rick James’ house - What could go wrong?!
	2:35pm Linda Lee: i can imagine it as purposefully polite & classy.
	2:37pm joe: Also my jerk of a manager tried to convince some kid to buy it by telling him it was Prince covering Metallica and they had to use different song titles so as not to get sued.
	2:37pm Mr Fab: I would really prefer Rick’s outfit on a woman.
	2:38pm Linda Lee: this isn't love, it's competition! :-D
	2:39pm solo mon: Haha Granny it would have been a great story- IF HE HAD GONE to the damn PArty!!!
	2:40pm solo mon: A toast to the booooty!
	2:40pm Jan Turkenburg: I'm back :-) Hi eh... everybody!
	2:40pm Linda Lee: this dance floor ain't clearin Otis. :-D
	2:40pm Linda Lee: hi Jan!
	2:41pm Otis Fodder: Oh god, booties touching! Somebody alert the chaperones!
	2:41pm Otis Fodder: Hey Jan!

	2:48pm solo mon: Funks on 45 keep on funkin in my mind
	2:49pm Mr Fab: had to look this up - NOT produced by George Clinton. Good impersonation!

	2:52pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): wait, Linda Lee, i need to know abnout these tails!

	2:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: oh that's priceless! the nudity (like everything) in my childhood was more chaotic than intentional

Travels With Brindle	Holy Tire Iron	https://youtu.be/pbDaeyDl8aI		2019		"In the 90s, a guy named Reverend Ray had an audio zine called Holy Tire Iron. You dialed a number with an East Boston exchange, listened to an audio collage, and left your own message with the prompt “when I was a kid, there was a game we used to play.” Over two decades since Holy Tire Iron rolled over to the great voicemail in the sky, I wrote a song about the beloved party line."	2:06:21 (Pop-up)
Holy Tire Iron	Side One "Side One" by "Holy Tire Iron"	Work In Progress... Volume Four	Holy Tire Iron	1993	Cassette	Holy Tire Iron was a 90s audio zine project by Reverend Raye, from West Somerville, Massachusetts. One would call the phone number and listen to the stories that others had left on the machine. It was not a 900 service, so if you were outside of the Boston area you had to pay for long distance phone charges. There was no advertising, the 'message changed every day,' and was made up of what callers called in. It was active for a number of years in the early-mid 1990s. The motto was "Inspiration is only a phone call away" and Raye called it free public media and added "Would you like fries with your art?"	2:09:39 (Pop-up)

Listener comments!
	10:57am Otis Fodder: Hello Melon-Balls and Mint-Sugar Garnishes!
	11:00am Sonderangebot: I'd love to start my day with some melons and balls! Yay! Hi!
	11:00am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Otis and Friendly Persuaders!
	11:01am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Sonderangebot!
	11:03am Jan Turkenburg: Otis, your mic sound is a bit distorted.
	11:05am Sonderangebot: Hi Jan :)
	11:05am Otis Fodder: Oooh, let's test it after this song
	11:09am Jan Turkenburg: The music is ok. And it just sounds like your too close to the mic.
	11:09am Carmichael: Heya Otis and seddless green grapes.
	11:09am Carmichael: Your voice is overmodulating.
	11:10am Jan Turkenburg: That was the word I was looking for, Thanks, Carmichael :-)
	11:11am Sonderangebot: Nope still not good, probably your cat ate it during the night.
	11:12am Jan Turkenburg: Music sounds good and when you moving away from the mic it salso sounds good
	11:12am Carmichael: Much better now that you're further away from the mic.
	11:12am Sonderangebot: Speak softly, very moistly, from a distance, it should be ok
	11:13am Carmichael: HA HA, speak moistly.
	11:14am Jan Turkenburg: the last 3 were good thissis
	11:15am Carmichael: Do you have an alternate mic input?
	11:16am Jan Turkenburg: This sounds much better
	11:17am Carmichael: Sounds much cleaner, no distortion. you could raise the level a bit.
	👻 11:23am Kat in Chicago: That watermelon basket seems like an awful lot of work for something that isn't even that cute. Just chop up the fruit and put it in a nice bowl.
	11:23am Otis Fodder: Thanks all for helping diagnose mic issues. It was the channel on the mackie mixer, almost positive, when I switched to another mic line input we were okay. Thanks again!!
	11:25am Sonderangebot: Hi Kat, the person who likes that basket perhaps has an obsession with balls and round things.
	11:28am Otis Fodder: So many balls!
	11:32am Carmichael: This sounds like the music from The Dating Game.
	👻 11:33am Kat in Chicago: @Sonderangebot like this lady? youtu.be...
	11:42am solo mon: Heloo0OoooO John Esquagas other nugget!
	11:43am Sonderangebot: Yes you took out Bertha and Tina! @Kat yes ... balls with "Ernest Lush"... Hi Solo!
	11:44am solo mon: Sonderangebot hi hi
	11:45am Otis Fodder: Mornin' Solo!
	11:47am solo mon: We were obsessed w John esuagas nugget as the commercials constantly played on the tv in SF in the 90s. He was one of those guys who insisted on being in his commercials. A sloppy spokesmodel in a ten gallon hat!
	11:48am Otis Fodder: I have been there so many times Solo, but in the 90s. Wish I could have visited in the 60s or 70s.
	11:48am solo mon: Then he opened one in Vegas called “John Esuagas Other Nugget”
	11:48am Otis Fodder: Did he?! Fantastic!
	11:49am solo mon: they always had some ripe talent showcased at ten nugget
	11:50am Carmichael: www.nevadamagazine.com...
	11:50am solo mon: I was personally obsessed with the peppermill
	11:52am Otis Fodder: The peppermill, have stayed there when visiting (one of my favs) + hit the lobby many times for watered-down drinks while waiting for friends to go elsewhere. Buffet was not too shabby either, won't get you sick like Cal Neva $1.99 steak and eggs in the 90s.
	11:53am solo mon: Looks like they remodeled it to look “classy”but back in the 90s it was all purple and pink
	11:53am Otis Fodder: Sond - Is that postcard link for the nugget online, if so would you share here?
	11:55am solo mon: We saw Charo at the nugget once man that was amazing
	11:56am solo mon: The sound was very good
	11:56am Sonderangebot: I have the same card at home but here it is: www.flickr.com...
	11:57am Otis Fodder: That's the one! Thanks Sondy!
	12:04pm solo mon: What’s wrong w Bertha and Tina’s eyes???
	12:07pm solo mon: Apparently one of the tests is to identify a drawing of an elephant?
	12:08pm solo mon: Yes the rock cats! I want to see that.
	12:10pm ARB: Hi Friends!
	12:10pm Otis Fodder: Solo --- Lion and Rhino and Camel
	12:11pm Otis Fodder: Hiiii ARB
	12:14pm solo mon: ARB!
	12:17pm ARB: I'm watching a Ukranian newcaster lose her tooth mid-broadcast with this as the soundtrack
	12:19pm Bri The Beatnik: Otis, have you ever heard the Ultra Lounge collection?
	12:19pm solo mon: I just keep thinking of the zookeeper character in mighty boosh and how he doesn’t know what any of the animals are called.
	12:20pm Otis Fodder: Hi Bri. Oh yes, love that series!
	12:21pm solo mon: “The black and white chinese guys that eat sticks and leaves” “The pandas?”
	12:22pm solo mon: ARB sounds like one of my nightmares !
	12:22pm Otis Fodder: Mighty Boosh is so good. Need to watch again in full, been over a decade.
	12:22pm Bri The Beatnik: I was just listening to it, then I remembered your show was on!
	12:23pm solo mon: Hi Bri! Ultra lounge series is solid.
	12:23pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Solo! It really is!
	12:24pm solo mon: I loved the boosh, also Noel’s other show, Luxury Comedy.
	12:25pm solo mon: Yeah that would be a fun thing to re watch! Putting that in the cue (or queue)!
	12:26pm Bri The Beatnik: I haven’t watched it. My friend told me I need to watch it!
	12:27pm Bri The Beatnik: This song sounds like a loungy Minha Meninha
	12:28pm Otis Fodder: Oh don't know Minha Meninha, but will check out post-show. Thanks Bri!
	12:29pm Bri The Beatnik: You’re welcome Otis! It’s by Os Mutantes!
	12:30pm Otis Fodder: Oh, I know Mutantes. Nice, will dig in!
	12:31pm Sonderangebot: Tah Zay is kind of how you'd pronounce it
	12:32pm wendy del formaggio: This mic break is like Romper Room! Hi Otis! ❤️
	👻 12:33pm Kat in Chicago: So nice of you, Otis! Thank you! There's a link on my profile page to the Soundcloud.
	👻 12:33pm Kat in Chicago: Caveat: the music is not very Sheena's :)
	12:39pm solo mon: I love a nipple flower
	12:40pm Otis Fodder: We all have very diverse tastes, sound-hoppers here!
	12:41pm solo mon: That brazil 77 album has a nipple mountain on the cover, very discrete from what I remember
	12:42pm solo mon: Kat what’s your music like?
	12:43pm Otis Fodder: Polka Rap
	12:45pm Otis Fodder: Hi Wendy!
	12:46pm solo mon: Oh sorry Brazil 66 album cover, fool on the hill- the back side has a tit mountain. I had it fo years and didn’t see it til I SAW it lol
	12:47pm solo mon: Beautiful song!
	12:47pm Otis Fodder: Yes, THAT '66 album, the mountain tit. Noticed it years after as well.
	12:48pm solo mon: A tasteful nude!
	👻 12:50pm Kat in Chicago: Haha, I don't think I've played any polka rap! It's mostly electronic with a tilt to "underground" techno/house, maybe half dance music, mostly new releases. It's a show that's been on the station for 20 years and has morphed from its origins (which you can infer from the show name). I've had it since 2013. I do sneak in some randomness from time to time if I feel like playing something off-genre and I can make it fit.
	👻 12:51pm Kat in Chicago: My friend has (or had, it's dormant atm) a record label called "Tasteful Nudes." That's a fun T-shirt to wear.
	12:51pm Mike Sin: Dramatic stereo panning on the keys was making me sway for a minute there!
	👻 12:53pm Kat in Chicago: I really like this Kool & The Gang track.
	12:53pm Otis Fodder: Hi Mike, nice to see you! Welcome!
	12:54pm Linda Lee: yes dear thank you!! the perfect vibe for my day's journey! hi Otis!
	12:55pm Linda Lee: you wouldn't believe the merde i'm neck deep in here, love. this should do it..
	12:55pm Mike Sin: Hi Otis! Yeah, I'm vibin'... waiting to jump on... you guessed it ... a Zoom meeting for work.
	12:56pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I'm a bit late (as usual). Good day, All!
	👻 12:56pm Kat in Chicago: Oh dear LL, good luck with whatever you are mired in.
	👻 12:56pm Kat in Chicago: Hi Hopey!
	12:56pm Linda Lee: hi Hopey! how are you? thanks so much Kat! :-)
	12:57pm Otis Fodder: Nice Mike! I know those Zoom meetings all so well as many of us do now. And hi Hopey and LL!
	12:57pm Linda Lee: just meaning to get 35 years' worth of personal belongings into a single closet. how does one do this?
	12:58pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hey Kat, how are you! Hi Linda, is your mire related to moving?
	12:58pm Otis Fodder: Ah, the purge LL. I bet you feel good though, going through stuff. I do everytime I move, but wow... the time!
	12:59pm Linda Lee: @Hopey ~ it is, dear! looks like my 4th serious buyer may be the one! they've had the bank over.
	1:00pm Linda Lee: Otis love i must say. it's been literally 40 years of moving now & i'm bushed. enough. i wish to rid myself of most everything that doesn't move me.
	1:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Linda, that sounds very promising. Fingers crossed for you!
	1:01pm Linda Lee: thank you so much Hopey! xxx
	1:02pm joe: 'ello folks
	👻 1:02pm Kat in Chicago: I'm curious where you're moving to, Linda?
	1:03pm Linda Lee: don't know yet darlin! i'm free as a bee.
	1:04pm Linda Lee: ergo, the downsizing to fit into a closet. i have the use of a closet while i flit around.
	1:06pm Linda Lee: i'm inspired by a photo i have of a young monk in his room. one room, filled with the things he likes. goals!
	1:07pm Linda Lee: i hope to wind up in a nice room. period!
	1:07pm joe: My aunt tried to make one of those Watermelon Baskets when I was a kid. It didn't work out the way it was supposed to. There was a lot of cursing, tears and very misshapen melon balls.
	1:09pm Linda Lee: this is why valium was so popular then.
	1:10pm solo mon: Kat your radio show sounds great! I was a electronic club dj for about 20 years, I get it! Gonna check it out later for sure
	1:10pm Sonderangebot: Just going to lie in bed now and listen to that tape =D
	1:10pm solo mon: Incel thoughts
	1:11pm Otis Fodder: No Fap Fucker
	1:11pm Linda Lee: if sexual frustration had a voice..
	1:12pm solo mon: Before 4chan there were answering machines?!
	👻 1:12pm Kat in Chicago: Wow solo mon, you have quite a musical range. Do you have any of your club mixes online?
	1:13pm Linda Lee: before the net totally.
	1:14pm Linda Lee: 'so much fun 20 minutes seemed like 60.'
	1:15pm Linda Lee: i'm not sure i can concentrate on my chores now, Otis! :-D
	1:15pm Rich in Washington: Hellooooo Oooootis! Been listening all morning but puttering about the house away from the Computron.
	1:16pm Otis Fodder: Just like reading a comment board for too long here. Opinions are like...
	1:16pm Otis Fodder: Hi ya Rich!
	👻 1:16pm Kat in Chicago: I'll cosign that male gynecologist comment.
	1:17pm Otis Fodder: Great one Kat!
	1:17pm Linda Lee: absolutely right!
	1:17pm Otis Fodder: I haven't listened to this tape in over 25 years so it's entertaining for me here.
	1:26pm solo mon: Very interesting Otis, I’m glad you are playing this.
	1:28pm solo mon: Kat, I don’t think I do have any mixes online.
	1:28pm Otis Fodder: Will archive all these online, on my list. Try to fill gaps with the 9 volumes I have and only know of 13 in total and that is the last one I have. Here are the volumes I added to Discogs - www.discogs.com...
	1:29pm solo mon: Hey Rich! How’s Washington today?
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: I missed out on so much during the Golden Age of Cassette Releases. I love how you and Don-O are sharing this kind of stuff.
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: It's extra Washingtony. I really wish it would rain soon, though.
	1:30pm Otis Fodder: Wish I would have saved more tapes after many moves. Thankfully, used to trade with both Greg and Don in the mid-90s... so they have tapes too!
	1:30pm solo mon: So hot and mugggy right?
	1:30pm Rich in Washington: How's things across the creek for you, solo mon?
	1:31pm solo mon: Is ok. We are all a little sad at what they r doing to our people.
	1:31pm Rich in Washington: We're fortunate that we're rather high up, altitude-wise and surrounded by trees, so it's usually a bit cooler here. Downside: we're also surrounded either by rednecks or well-off rural entitled white people.
	1:31pm Linda Lee: oh man.. this guy was really half baked.
	1:32pm Otis Fodder: Watching what is happening in Portland daily. It's so screwed.
	1:32pm Otis Fodder: So baked!
	1:32pm Rich in Washington: It's super disheartening. The only small solace is that people outside PDX/PNW are watching it, appalled.
	1:33pm Otis Fodder: Canadians are watching it, appalled as well.
	1:33pm Rich in Washington: Last night looked sort of encouraging. Thousands of 'moms' marching peacefully. Also a cadre of dads toting leafblowers supporting them.
	1:34pm Linda Lee: sounds like my neighborhood, Rich. guess who the kinder neighbors are.
	1:35pm Otis Fodder: The leafblowers... the only sorta hot-air talking that I WANT.
	1:37pm Rich in Washington: Lots of Trump signs, flags and banners between my house and town/work. My middle finger's getting sunburned.
	👻 1:39pm Kat in Chicago: Chicago's about to get our own secret federal agent invasion, apparently, although our mayor is fighting it. We've already got tanks driving through groups of protestors in Logan Square and cops knocking teeth out of 18-year-olds mouths...
	1:40pm Linda Lee: i guess you feel allied with the well-to-do?
	1:43pm Sonderangebot: Man does this guy ever have a life? Haha he calls so much!
	1:44pm Linda Lee: the pot guy forget he called already!
	1:45pm Otis Fodder: Whoa mannnnn, did I call or was it a dreammm mannnnn. ha!
	1:46pm Linda Lee: Otis, why are cigarettes legal?! i hate them!
	1:46pm Sonderangebot: Because they bring lots of money, that's why, LL!
	1:47pm joe: Why does the anti pot guy sound like he might be related to the cigarette hating guy?
	1:47pm Linda Lee: oh yes. this we know.
	1:47pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Anti-pot guy needs new friends.
	1:47pm Linda Lee: he does, joe!
	1:48pm Otis Fodder: Feel like pulling out American Beauty now after listening to this hater.
	1:49pm Linda Lee: i hear a little jealousy.
	1:49pm Otis Fodder: Legal here in Montreal, yay!
	👻 1:51pm Kat in Chicago: I do like "Box of Rain"...
	1:52pm Linda Lee: American Beauty is a lovely album.
	1:52pm Otis Fodder: Me too. Gonna go get the LP now. I can play the Dead, I can play anything.
	1:52pm Mr Fab: Hey ho, Otis, diggin your scene, man, just too busy to comment. (This is the closest WFMU gets to 'talk radio' - Otis Fodder taking your calls, discussing the issues!)
	1:53pm Otis Fodder: Hey Grand Poobah! Great show last night!
	1:53pm Sonderangebot: Soulmate screening process...
	1:54pm joe: What is the first question on the Soul Mate screening process? Maybe "have you ever been convicted of a felony".
	1:54pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I judge potential soulmates by their music library.
	1:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): hello! Otis! WFMU pals! Sheena's freaks!
	1:55pm Linda Lee: hi Granny! :-)
	1:55pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hey, Granny!
	1:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Ahoy, Captain Linda Lee!
	1:56pm joe: @hopey sockmonkey. I had a close friend that I would drive nuts because everytime we went to someone's house for the first time I would ask to look through their records/cassettes. Pissed him off so much :)
	1:56pm Linda Lee: are we really out there looking for potential soulmate? that might be the basic problem.
	1:57pm Linda Lee: the people i know who actively look never seem to find.
	1:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Wow, Somerville was a hot bed of zines and cassette trading back then. Never heard that one before. Cool!
	1:57pm Rich in Washington: The soulmate myth sells a lot of grief.
	1:57pm joe: Oh god what a bunch of conformist douche bags.
	1:58pm Linda Lee: for this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago.
	👻 1:58pm Kat in Chicago: If any of y'all missed Mr. Fab's fill-in for Frow Show last night, check out the archive!
	2:00pm zzm: went mandatory COVID testing missed most of the show
	2:00pm solo mon: I love this album, my childhood is in there some where lol
	2:00pm Rich in Washington: Uncle Michael's planning a big Dead lovefest this Friday.
	2:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Mr. Fab's show was so good yesterday. I wonder if any mothership listeners will now be inspired to check out our little corner of FMU?
	2:01pm Otis Fodder: Yep, bay area/Oakland 1970s memories right here.
	2:01pm solo mon: Rich who was the guy on kboo who did the dead shows on sundays, he was so funny and into it, he would isolate guitar solos and discuss them for 20 minutes
	2:02pm Linda Lee: agree, Rich. i knew a man whose girlfriend wept & told him his soulmate was someone else. she upset herself so much over this!
	2:03pm Mr Fab: Wow thanks, guys! There were plenty of unfamiliar names in the chat last night, so hopefully we made a few converts. Hi, new folks!
	2:04pm Linda Lee: sounds like i should check your archive, Mr F!
	2:04pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Rich in Washington: thanks for the warning. I cannot bear a single moment of The Dead at this point in my life.
	2:04pm Linda Lee: bad associations, Granny?
	2:06pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Having grown up in the Bay Area I'm very familiar with the Dead, however I've never owned any of their music.
	2:07pm Rich in Washington: I'm not sure, solo mon. I only know a few of the station's Dead collective. A guy named Phil? I think he's no longer on this side of the veil, as the hippies would say.
	2:07pm Linda Lee: don't think you need it, Hopey! cultural osmosis! :-D
	👻 2:07pm Kat in Chicago: Good pick, Otis.
	2:07pm Otis Fodder: I keep American Beauty on the shelf, the one album in my Dad's collection. Also a fan of John Oswald's Dark Star, really good, broken down and ripped apart. Bay area born and raised and totally get it with the Dead, oh yea.
	2:08pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Linda Lee: Yes. VERY BAD.
	2:08pm Otis Fodder: Thanks Kat. Apropos.
	2:08pm Linda Lee: shit. i'm so sorry, Granny.
	2:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Let's just say, i really really tried, and saw the worst of Dead culture.
	2:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Linda Lee: and, as always, i appreciate your caring
	2:10pm Linda Lee: oh no. that sounds ugly.
	2:10pm Mr Fab: worse than their music, ha ha?
	2:12pm Rich in Washington: I do like some Dead, but really, can't take much of it in one go. And my radio friends and I used to muse about an entire weekly show dedicated to one sole band. I mean, it's one of the things that inspired us to do Throbbing Gristle marathons, several day long marathons of Surrealism and Dada, etc. RIP weird old KBOO. Those were the days.
	2:12pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Mr Fab: yes, even worse than their music—which i REALLY TRIED to appreciate. NO. (Avant Ghetto almost was the closest i got to a true appreciation)
	2:13pm Linda Lee: i think it's all personal associations with the Dead. it's the whole trip. the music is almost incidental.
	2:13pm Mr Fab: Speaking of boring hippie nonsense, Spacebrother was showing me an Eagles album he creatively destroyed in his younger years. The entire cover and artwork was vandalized, except for the song that was theme to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, cuz that's cool. So see, we even like one Eagles song, ha
	2:14pm joe: I've gotten over my hatred for the Dead, but except for a few tracks I don't make a habit to voluntarily listen to them. That being said I've grown above threatening bodily harm to whom ever put their music on. :) I came to realize that my disgust was more for a sector of their fan base not the band. Plus how could I hate them totally that's how the neighborhood acid supply got replenished when they came to town.
	2:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): See? Even the Eagles have a redeeming factor!
	2:15pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Actually, I do own that tribute album Deadicated because Elvis Costello is on it.
	2:15pm Linda Lee: exactly my point! it's not about the music. must say i like the Dead better than i like the Eagles. associations!
	2:15pm Mr Fab: Rich: many stations have all Beatles shows. SiriusXM has channels dedicated to one artist, but then they cheat by adding all these other artists in between.
	2:15pm Otis Fodder: Dead over Eagles here as well personally.
	2:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): joe: yeah, they sure get the best acid. See? A redeeming factor!!! Thanks!
	2:16pm Linda Lee: thank you, Otis. at least there are associations possible. the Eagles are what?
	2:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dead Eagles is best!
	2:16pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh and that album Spacebrother got creative with was probably One of These Nights.
	2:17pm Mr Fab: Interesting , they are not billed as "Charles Wright and the Watts 103."But that def sounded like him singing..?
	2:17pm joe: @Rich In Washington want to hear something similar to that complete minucia of analysis to the point of surrelism. Check out Phil Schaaps Birdflight on WKCR
	2:18pm joe: @MR Fab I was so pissed at SiriusXM they just did a temporery Beastie Boys Station. I thought oh man this going to be great they are going to play all this stuff that the Beasties' love and sampled. Nope just Fight For your Right 734 times.
	2:19pm Linda Lee: that's lame.
	2:19pm joe: @Granny Spicy Tune Glad I can help I'm trying to find the positives now a days.
	2:20pm Linda Lee: is this our technocratic future musically? shoot me now.
	2:23pm Linda Lee: why is this lead vocal so funny? i'm not even stoned!
	2:24pm Mr Fab: Yep, similarly disappointed by the Beasties channel. The Beastie even refused to perform “Fight For Your Right” after their first tour. Tho one of the “influences” portions featured the Slits “Typical Girls” so hopefully that grabbed some new ears.
	2:26pm solo mon: Man I remember when jerry died, hippie girls were throwing themselves in front of cars on haight street. Talk about associations! I’ve been all over the place w the dead stuff, lost a close friend due to the scene (they died of drug related causes) I was a baby when my parents would take me to shows though and it sparked my interest in creative quirky people. Same w Oregon country fair. Young me got to see some THINGS.
	2:28pm Linda Lee: i think you were a lucky child, solo mon. exposed to a different culture from what appeared on tv.
	2:29pm Otis Fodder: Sad to hear about the Beasties station. The BB book though, whoa, so good. Want to try some of the recipies they add in.
	2:29pm solo mon: Thanks Linda Lee- come as no surprise but we also had no TV growing up. Probably why I am obsessed w pop culture now, though.
	2:30pm solo mon: Scarlett Pussy?!
	2:30pm solo mon: I think I went to school w her.
	2:30pm Rich in Washington: I remember hearing about Garcia dying on some talk radio show while driving and then minutes later seeing a young hippie girl hitchhiking on an onramp and crying her eyes out.
	2:31pm Linda Lee: good. i really don't think we should be exposed to tv until we're matured. it's too predatory a medium!
	2:31pm Otis Fodder: Prince as Camille circa Sign of the Times and Black album.
	2:31pm solo mon: Is Camille like Princes drag name???
	2:32pm Mr Fab: Oh! How I loved my bootleg copy of the Black Album.
	2:32pm Linda Lee: sure sounds that way!
	2:32pm Linda Lee: it's Rick James, bitch!
	2:33pm Otis Fodder: I LOVE those skits!
	2:33pm solo mon: The angriest I’ve ever been with my boyfriend is when he told me he said no to attending a children’s birthday party at rick James house.
	2:34pm Linda Lee: damn! don't blame you there, hon. then again, if that's the worst he's done, he's a gem.
	2:34pm Otis Fodder: I can't even imagine that. Ha.
	👻 2:35pm Kat in Chicago: Me neither.
	2:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: keep talking, i am fascinated. what a history!
	2:35pm solo mon: Kicker- it was teena Marie’s childs party!
	2:35pm joe: When the Black Album came out I was working at a mall record store. Warner Bros must have really suckered our buyer that it was going to be this thing EVERYONE was waiting for, because of what it was. We got at least 60 copies in store. I think we sold three. Most folks shopping at Sears really didn't care. :)
	2:35pm Mr Fab: a children’s birthday party at Rick James’ house - What could go wrong?!
	2:35pm Linda Lee: i can imagine it as purposefully polite & classy.
	2:37pm joe: Also my jerk of a manager tried to convince some kid to buy it by telling him it was Prince covering Metallica and they had to use different song titles so as not to get sued.
	2:37pm Mr Fab: I would really prefer Rick’s outfit on a woman.
	2:38pm Linda Lee: this isn't love, it's competition! :-D
	2:39pm solo mon: Haha Granny it would have been a great story- IF HE HAD GONE to the damn PArty!!!
	2:40pm solo mon: A toast to the booooty!
	2:40pm Jan Turkenburg: I'm back :-) Hi eh... everybody!
	2:40pm Linda Lee: this dance floor ain't clearin Otis. :-D
	2:40pm Linda Lee: hi Jan!
	2:41pm Otis Fodder: Oh god, booties touching! Somebody alert the chaperones!
	2:41pm Otis Fodder: Hey Jan!
	2:42pm Mr Fab: P-FUNK!! I am so happy now. Bottoms up! (Bernie Worrell = one of my biggest synth heroes)
	2:42pm BC Sterrett: Hello Everyone, Sorry I'm late. Been taking care of family
	2:42pm Otis Fodder: Hi BC!
	2:42pm solo mon: I’ve got jam between my legs and I’m ready to spread
	2:43pm Linda Lee: i'm off early, babies. have a beautiful day!! thanks for an amazing show, Otis!!! xxx
	2:43pm solo mon: A tail ain’t nothing but a long boootay
	2:43pm Otis Fodder: Bye Linda, have a wonderful day!
	2:44pm solo mon: Bye LL have a great day!
	2:44pm Linda Lee: speaking of, just before i go: i saw the most amazing tails you can wear right there. no tape, no glue..
	2:44pm Linda Lee: thank you frens! xx
	2:45pm solo mon: Loving this funky finish Otis
	2:45pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Bye LL, good luck with your closet project!
	2:46pm Linda Lee: thanks Hopey! see you soon! xx
	2:46pm Mr Fab: The 45 rpm version sounded intriguing, Otis...
	2:47pm Otis Fodder: Ha! Too much supersonic funk we may have landed on the actual, mothership by connection.
	2:48pm solo mon: Funks on 45 keep on funkin in my mind
	2:49pm Mr Fab: had to look this up - NOT produced by George Clinton. Good impersonation!
	2:51pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: i mean your TV deprivation and enforced Dead shows. As a child of hippies, i am always eager to hear tales of horrorshow childhood grooviness
	2:51pm solo mon: Dj please!
	2:52pm Otis Fodder: A-Side to Roof is on Fire
	2:52pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): wait, Linda Lee, i need to know abnout these tails!
	2:53pm Otis Fodder: Sometimes I think about asking to do an old-school hip hop show, so much here. Loads of mixes too, like all the Roadium ones I shared on the FMU blog years back.
	2:53pm solo mon: Ha! Oh my gosh granny maybe we should have a hotline for children of hippies on my show. I can help!
	2:54pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: please! Mannnn!
	2:54pm solo mon: My particular commune was some nudists so that got really awkward when I brought friends home from school.
	2:55pm Mr Fab: Otis, Ken actually said he was thinking about bringing a hip-hop show to Rock n Soul channel. You'd be perfect. You can be on 2 channels, it's not cheating, it's all for the luv of the Woof-Moo!
	2:55pm solo mon: Otis I love this old hip hop too, I would love to do an electro hip hop show sometime
	2:55pm Otis Fodder: Really? Let's talk off-mic homeslice!
	2:56pm solo mon: Xo
	2:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: oh that's priceless! the nudity (like everything) in my childhood was more chaotic than intentional
	2:58pm solo mon: Ah shit Jaina it felt chaotic back then but now I see it was allllll intentional.
	2:58pm Otis Fodder: Hmmm, could have guests regularly. Scratch DJs doing sets too. Hmmmm. Fab, let's chat please about it.
	2:58pm Rich in Washington: I would love to hear an old school hip hop show.
	2:58pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: well there was never any statement, like "we are nudists" or "we are Deadheads." that's all the "intention" i mean!
	2:59pm joe: Oh of those rare Run DMC curses.
	2:59pm solo mon: I’m a scratcher and turntablist from wayback.
	2:59pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I too would LOVE an old school hip-hop show. So much.
	3:00pm solo mon: Great show!!!!!
	3:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon: and i never even went to the Oregon Country Faire, though a cousin married into OCF royalty and i went to high school in Eugene
	3:00pm Mr Fab: WORD!
	3:00pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Your shows go by too quickly, Otis!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Otis!
	3:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Thanks, Otis! Thanks all you wonderful WFMU weirdos!
	👻 3:00pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks Otis, over to Herk now!
