Listener comments!
	🧩 3:01pm Handy Haversack: Hello, Sceleton Scott! Happy to be here with you. Hi, all.
	3:01pm Krys O.: Greetings!
	3:03pm TDK60: Hi. I'll listen up..
	3:03pm hypothete: WQXI East Orange, WXQI Mount Hope
	3:03pm xtrakrispy: Is this what they call an “air check”?
	3:04pm Steve from Dunwoody: Quixie of 1970s Atlanta!
	3:04pm PaulRobeson1920: Greetings! The pigeon sent me
	3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WFMU Sells Out ...again !
	3:04pm Steve from Dunwoody: At some point aka Quixie from Dixie
	3:04pm mariano: Beam us up, Scotty! Hey all.
	3:04pm Doobois: LOL, hypothete! This is fantastic. Thank you, Scott.
	3:04pm yippie: does this have any suzanne ciani?
	3:05pm Kat in Chicago: Haha Steve, I remember Quixie (Quixy?) too!
	3:05pm Kat in Chicago: (I was a teen in the Atlanta suburbs for part of the 70s)
	3:06pm Marley P. Dogg: Great Scott! Hope you’re well! Maybe I’ll check out this WQXI everyone is talking about...
	🧩 3:06pm Handy Haversack: Is that why this is familiar? I was -4 to 6 years old in 1970s Atlanta. This lives in the deep and scary strata of my brain.
	3:06pm BH: the 2019 Station ID sampler would involve a bunch of stations identifying themselves as "The New (x)" despite having the same branding/format for 5 years
	3:06pm Steve from Dunwoody: Deep, deep.
	3:07pm andy the painter: yes! i want to never have problems with time, or sound, again! sign me up!
	3:07pm Webhamster Henry: Hey Folks! In case you're curious, the WFMU benefit film Jazz On A Summer's Day is the perfect summer entertainment.
	3:08pm ami ad: ahoy skipper.
	3:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well my boy the Firesign Theatre can help you there ...sign here ...& here - Praise Bob !
	3:09pm yes: Hello everyone
	🧩 3:09pm Ike: @BH, and also, men saying the station nickname or call letters in deep rumbly treated "badass" voice really quickly, I think. Unless that's also outdated by now.
	🧩 3:09pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Scott and nice folks. Nice Guys is nice!
	3:09pm Woo: Yeah Pidge sent me too and I'm happy to be here.
	3:10pm WM: Thanks for playing the Art Ensemble of Chicago. I was lucky to hear them live a few times.
	3:11pm Little Danny: Hey Scott ‘n’ all
	🧩 3:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hiya, Scott and sun-bleached sods. I realized the other day that I've not heard anything from Klown in a good while. I wonder what they've been up to.
	🧩 3:14pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Woo, PR1920. Afternoon greetings!
	3:14pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, isn't it weird when something surfaces from your very early years like that? I might remember TV stations from that early, but I don't think I had radio awareness till I was 7 or so.
	3:15pm Jeff Moore: Okay, I'm starting to relax into the music. For awhile there, I was tensed for it to turn into another WQXI stinger!
	3:16pm Kat in Chicago: Scott's "Starting with the Seventies" like EFD today.
	🧩 3:16pm Handy Haversack: Kat, somehow when very young I ended with a radio that also picked up TV signals! So there was a lot of messing around with the dials on that thing. Plus: cars. One spent a lot of time in cars.
	3:17pm Woo: radio awareness-I like that. I got mine as a child in early 1967. That was a good time to get it. I just used my transistor radio during a power outage and it reminded me of then. Except the AM stations don't play music anymore.
	3:19pm zopa: hey there. it's good times time.
	3:19pm Pseu Braun: Wednesday is better with Scott in it. Lovely listening.
	🧩 3:19pm Ike: @Handy, you mean a radio that had VHF TV audio? There were a lot of those back in the day because TV channels 2-6 used to be right below the FM band (the audio of channel 6 was ~87.75 FM) and 7-13 used to be right above the FM band. So radio makers just had to expand the FM dial a little bit to "get" TV audio. With digital TV that's no longer the case, of course.
	3:20pm Matt Fiveash: Certifiably groovey!
	3:21pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, I do remember singing along to "I Want To Hold Your Hand" in the car when I was four or five. I think I was nine when I got my own transistor radio, I loved it so.
	3:21pm Scott Williams: Hey everybody!! Very happy to be with you in sunshiney vibes. This Snowgoose reminds me of Crosby & Nash, in the good ways
	3:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being born Nov.1963 I often wish I could hear what was on the car radio when I was a toddler! Although I don't think my Dad was much into that... Older brother otoh started with the Records right away... Eventually trying to pull in WBCN Boston up here New Hampshire... College radio away from home as Alt became a thing ...today - here & y'all...
	3:23pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah, Scott, I hear the non-cringey C&N in this too.
	🧩 3:23pm tim from champaign (now washington): I hear it now, Scott. At first I thought you were referring to the singers' mustache and goatee.
	3:23pm Jeremy: Utterly beautifieous and yes, so so CSNY
	3:23pm hip: Snowgoose voice reminds me to Elia and Elisabeth very much
	🧩 3:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what it is!
	3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' how do you catch the sparrow '
	🧩 3:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: "snowgoose" makes me think of Camel which is confusing because I associate that kind of prog with autumn for some reason and it's too hot for Camel but camels are desert creatures oh jeezus the room is a-spinnin..
	3:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....progressive hump day condition - seasonal reflective disorder ...get this man a stoopid groove quickly....
	🧩 3:29pm Handy Haversack: ::administers carrot-cake-scented smelling salts to Rev. Turnip Druid::
	🧩 3:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): A timely song in 1982.
	🧩 3:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Holy heck, this is sounding familiar, cracking through the fog of years, likely haven't heard this since it was new .. weird brain sensation
	3:31pm Rtintera: i can't find this song anywhere. it's so good!
	3:31pm Jeremy: Love this! glad that eva tone survived!
	3:32pm TomDash: Hey Scott - great track...new to me
	3:33pm TomDash: ...Chemicals Made From Dirt track...
	3:35pm spodiodi: who's baking carrot cake?
	3:35pm tak: this was my introduction to this heat
	3:39pm Bas NL: Hi Scott & friends! I love Madalitso Band!
	3:40pm hypothete: One day I want to start the world's worst cover band, just to do terrible things like A New Kind of Water -> Drums -> Franklin's Tower.
	🧩 3:41pm Handy Haversack: We're getting the thunder but not the storm in north Brooklyn, which seems like the raw end of the deal.
	3:42pm TDK60: Storm sounds along the Hudson.
	3:42pm hip: Love the swing of it all. Boiling whether here (Mediterranean) too.
	3:43pm Rtintera: i saw tiger lillies in Moscow back in the day. They were cute.
	🧩 3:43pm tim from champaign (now washington): @hypothete - I think countless of shitty local jam bands playing at micro-brewery beer gardens around the country beat you to it.
	3:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Saw the Tiger Lillies do the music for Shock Headed Peter. Disturbing in all ways.
	3:48pm iiibeat: Finally . . Almost 40 years of life . . And now a shadow in my radio! I'm glad for it. Happy too.
	3:48pm The Oscar: I knew a guy who saw the Tiger Lillies open for the Dresden Dolls in the mid 2000s. He said there were a LOT of very confused teenage girls in the audience.
	3:49pm iiibeat: What kinda Peter Pan bullshit is this??
	3:49pm PaulRobeson1920: Only 180 days till Broadway reopens. Feb 2021
	3:51pm hypothete: @The Oscar I was wondering if there was some Dresden Dolls genre overlap, actually. Makes sense.
	3:52pm PaulRobeson1920: The listeners can take it! One day at a time
	3:53pm Rtintera: @The Oscar I was a confused teenage girl at the show. and I'm a guy.
	3:54pm BH: if albums had reviews on the back (ala books)... then "too weird" would be an amazing review for that
	3:55pm iiibeat: Sign your own front door. Sneak the signature onto many, many others that do not belong to you.
	🧩 3:56pm tim from champaign (now washington): "Too Weird"? Sounds like Crosby can't remember 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' BH - I'd listen to or read something with a review of "Too Weird"!
	3:56pm BH: Too Weird, somehow not the name of a Weird Al Yankovic experimental album
	3:57pm xtrakrispy: Funny but feznyc.com is still up and running.
	3:59pm medson: Hola Scott, hope all is well with you and the skeleton crew.
	4:00pm iiibeat: Shock Headed Peter . . Just now seeing that.
	4:04pm Cp304: Good jam here
	4:06pm Woo: This Bender has a good beat.
	4:07pm spodiodi: it's consistent. i value that
	4:09pm efd: Scott! I am fully empowered to listen today!
	4:10pm Scott Williams: efd! I look forward to you using that power to this evening's radio advantage!
	4:11pm efd: ME TOO
	🧩 4:18pm Handy Haversack: A fully empowered efd released on an unsuspecting world ... air horns and angels ... firmaments will tremble!
	4:21pm Little Danny: Beautiful!
	4:21pm efd: just wait til I get that solar-powered airhorn.
	🧩 4:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CLICK.
	4:24pm Yes: i like these vibrations
	4:24pm Bas NL: This is nearing Dark Ambient.. fantastic!
	4:24pm Kat in Chicago: efd, note that Scott started with the seventies today.
	4:25pm Pseu Braun: oh yessss this dean hurley
	4:25pm efd: ohhh, I had a meeting for the first part of the show and missed that! I love TM Productions.
	🧩 4:26pm tim from champaign (now washington): Nice!
	4:26pm Kat in Chicago: those of us who remember WQXI in Atlanta were especially engaged.
	🧩 4:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): I wish I'd had the wherewithal to scour the soundtrack and new age bins for misfiled gems back when used records were cheap.
	4:28pm Fox: Hullo everyone! yaaaaaawn.
	4:29pm Fox: Oh wait! I just woke up! That's not a statement on the musical choices!
	4:29pm Kat in Chicago: good morning, Fox :)
	4:30pm Yes: heloo
	4:34pm ami ad: Hello Fox,how do?
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: hi Scott and all
	🧩 4:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: More enthusiastic jumpy !! things for that Théâtre du Chêne Noir ..
	4:36pm Fox: Halloooo Kat, Hi there Ami.
	4:38pm Fox: The stir crazy is finally starting to hit me, I think.
	4:39pm Pseu Braun: Now you're bringing the minstrels in...
	4:39pm Kat in Chicago: Worst first line of a song I've heard in a while.
	4:39pm Scott Williams: Pseu, they don't call 'em that anymore
	4:40pm Scott Williams: Kat, they really keep going
	4:40pm Kat in Chicago: uh oh
	4:40pm Webhamster Henry: I'm mellowing here. I feel like a s'more.
	4:40pm andy the painter: mellow AND classy
	4:41pm Jeff Moore: Oof, awkward modulation.
	4:41pm Steve from Dunwoody: Alice!
	4:41pm Scott Williams: this is intended to involve you
	4:41pm Kat in Chicago: NOOOOOOOO
	4:41pm Bas NL: We're one hot mellow puddle now..
	4:42pm Webhamster Henry: Female appeal ... inserted ... SUBLIMINAL MUCH?
	🧩 4:42pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm feeling really good now all of a sudden!
	4:42pm Woo: female audience appeal-well, females, whaddya think?
	4:42pm philosofish: "mellow" -- word of the 70s
	4:42pm Kat in Chicago: mostly-female-identified listener runs screaming from the room
	🧩 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Fox. I have been feeling the stir-crazies the past couple of days, too. A couple of opportunities to get outside foreclosed, and then ... well, mixing up some sidecars right now! This is going to be great for Smooth 91.1 FM!
	4:43pm Little Danny: These ad spots are so good.
	🧩 4:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CONTINUOUS CONSULTATIONS!
	4:44pm Jeff Moore: They're called... listeners.
	4:44pm Webhamster Henry: Haha from Network!
	4:44pm coelacanth∅: i would reasons # 8,9 and 11 please
	4:44pm Woo: Dear God
	4:44pm Steve from Dunwoody: Ron Nickle, I'm calling on your dime.
	4:44pm Webhamster Henry: Or Rather Broadcast News
	4:44pm Little Danny: @Scott: Any idea what year these spots are from?
	4:45pm Kat in Chicago: what just happened
	4:46pm ceedub: I'm so Billy pilgrimed - today is my work weekend, yet the bed music tells me that Wednesday is Monday?
	4:46pm coelacanth∅: how do i get involved with these things?
	4:49pm People Like Us: I want this bed music
	4:49pm Kat in Chicago: hi Vicki!
	4:49pm Yes: that was nice
	4:50pm People Like Us: hello!
	4:50pm Bas NL: Grab der Mutter = Grave of the mother
	4:52pm Dean from Old Bridge: Also thought that was Daniel Johnston before checking
	4:53pm People Like Us: it's nearly 10 here
	4:55pm Fox: Handy - I was doing ok, but part of what I was using to keep myself chipper was that I would end up taking over the apartment if I couldn't find a roommate. I took over the master bedroom that used to be mine, and one night of sleeping in there had me completely ill. Burning eyes, shitty throat, headache all day. So now I feel pretty trapped here, and angry that I slept in that room every night for three years.
	🧩 4:56pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, Fox, that sucks -- the mold still?
	4:56pm Bas NL: Looking forward to the Discotheque!
	4:57pm WM: @ceedub: I like your reference to Slaughter House 5. (Actually I think the movie by George Roy Hill is even better than the novel.)
	5:00pm spodiodi: sang it merle
	5:00pm iiibeat: You may find me . . Yes, me . . Stitching a shadow onto a radio sail . . The canvas made of oscillating lines composing the interchangeable boundaries of several competing environs . . Becoming near and far . . Standing and staring in blonde puddles, at each other . . Drawing up inspiration and energy from reflected clouds and recordings of laughing audiences . . All mashed-up like potato pumpkin harps . . Toward blood filled moon craters . . Swimming dogs in particular. Critters stitched on sun symbol thump.
	5:00pm Steve from Dunwoody: Most mud got so little. You got so much.
	5:01pm Yes: MERLE
	5:02pm Fox: Handy - yuppppp.
	5:07pm The Oscar: Hag 'n' Hig!
	🧩 5:07pm Handy Haversack: I like drinking whisky in a dirty downtown bar, too! (RIP Pete of Pete's Corner.)
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ahm shorrr glad y'all didn't riot cause ah sang purity enuff ...now I shor hope you'll welcome onstage some friends of mine - The Fugs !! ...
	5:12pm McGroovey: I wanna be the king: ooooof. Rather ragged. And the bass player should have stuck to covering the bass line.
	5:13pm dale: afternoon. cool curation of music as always.
	🧩 5:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Man, that opening low reed note had me convinced we were in for Zappa/Mothers' Mr.Green Genes for a sec.
	🧩 5:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [for the record, me prefer this]
	5:17pm TDK60: As fun as a tear gas canister returned.
	5:17pm Scott Williams: @Rev, i think I heard the same thing, and preferred that they just stuck with the big note
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or the giant monster turned the corner & showed itself...
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...them sardonic horn players what mastered smirkular breathing...
	5:24pm Quinn: Well I like this
	🧩 5:25pm tim from champaign (now washington): YES!!!!
	5:26pm Scott Williams: Me too, Quinn! Tho I kinda like "smirkular breathing" tho I disagree with it
	5:27pm Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from sweaty Tannersville to all in Marineville! BLAM!!

	🧩 5:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'FABLES.
	5:40pm dale: is this the 'let the sideshow begin' people?
	🧩 5:40pm Handy Haversack: I don't know them, Rev., but that track was super.
	5:46pm Kat in Chicago: dale: Stylistics, yep.
	5:48pm Kat in Chicago: Kenneth Higney's "Attic Demonstration" has made a couple of appearances on The World's Worst Records on the Sheena stream.
	5:49pm dale: thanks kat. so much better than the a.m. fodder they were known for.
	5:50pm Kat in Chicago: oh wow, Mike Polizze making pretty music. I like Purling Hiss a lot.
	5:54pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. lovely time.
	5:56pm scott: Arecibo telescope telescope is damaged. 'Wishing Well' reminded me of the last shot of a 'Connections' episode from a camera that was dropped from the detector to the ground far below.
	5:56pm Scott Williams: Lovely time was had by me too - thanks everybody! See you next week. Skeleton me seez yaz tonight
	5:56pm TDK60: Gracias Scott, another swell Fun 91 show.

	3:06pm Marley P. Dogg: Great Scott! Hope you’re well! Maybe I’ll check out this WQXI everyone is talking about...
	🧩 3:06pm Handy Haversack: Is that why this is familiar? I was -4 to 6 years old in 1970s Atlanta. This lives in the deep and scary strata of my brain.
	3:06pm BH: the 2019 Station ID sampler would involve a bunch of stations identifying themselves as "The New (x)" despite having the same branding/format for 5 years

	🧩 3:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hiya, Scott and sun-bleached sods. I realized the other day that I've not heard anything from Klown in a good while. I wonder what they've been up to.
	🧩 3:14pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Woo, PR1920. Afternoon greetings!
	3:14pm Kat in Chicago: Handy, isn't it weird when something surfaces from your very early years like that? I might remember TV stations from that early, but I don't think I had radio awareness till I was 7 or so.
	3:15pm Jeff Moore: Okay, I'm starting to relax into the music. For awhile there, I was tensed for it to turn into another WQXI stinger!
	3:16pm Kat in Chicago: Scott's "Starting with the Seventies" like EFD today.
	🧩 3:16pm Handy Haversack: Kat, somehow when very young I ended with a radio that also picked up TV signals! So there was a lot of messing around with the dials on that thing. Plus: cars. One spent a lot of time in cars.
	3:17pm Woo: radio awareness-I like that. I got mine as a child in early 1967. That was a good time to get it. I just used my transistor radio during a power outage and it reminded me of then. Except the AM stations don't play music anymore.
	3:19pm zopa: hey there. it's good times time.
	3:19pm Pseu Braun: Wednesday is better with Scott in it. Lovely listening.
	🧩 3:19pm Ike: @Handy, you mean a radio that had VHF TV audio? There were a lot of those back in the day because TV channels 2-6 used to be right below the FM band (the audio of channel 6 was ~87.75 FM) and 7-13 used to be right above the FM band. So radio makers just had to expand the FM dial a little bit to "get" TV audio. With digital TV that's no longer the case, of course.
	3:20pm Matt Fiveash: Certifiably groovey!
	3:21pm Kat in Chicago: Oh, I do remember singing along to "I Want To Hold Your Hand" in the car when I was four or five. I think I was nine when I got my own transistor radio, I loved it so.
	3:21pm Scott Williams: Hey everybody!! Very happy to be with you in sunshiney vibes. This Snowgoose reminds me of Crosby & Nash, in the good ways
	3:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being born Nov.1963 I often wish I could hear what was on the car radio when I was a toddler! Although I don't think my Dad was much into that... Older brother otoh started with the Records right away... Eventually trying to pull in WBCN Boston up here New Hampshire... College radio away from home as Alt became a thing ...today - here & y'all...
	3:23pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah, Scott, I hear the non-cringey C&N in this too.
	🧩 3:23pm tim from champaign (now washington): I hear it now, Scott. At first I thought you were referring to the singers' mustache and goatee.
	3:23pm Jeremy: Utterly beautifieous and yes, so so CSNY
	3:23pm hip: Snowgoose voice reminds me to Elia and Elisabeth very much
	🧩 3:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what it is!
	3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' how do you catch the sparrow '
	🧩 3:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: "snowgoose" makes me think of Camel which is confusing because I associate that kind of prog with autumn for some reason and it's too hot for Camel but camels are desert creatures oh jeezus the room is a-spinnin..
	3:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....progressive hump day condition - seasonal reflective disorder ...get this man a stoopid groove quickly....
	🧩 3:29pm Handy Haversack: ::administers carrot-cake-scented smelling salts to Rev. Turnip Druid::
	🧩 3:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): A timely song in 1982.
	🧩 3:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Holy heck, this is sounding familiar, cracking through the fog of years, likely haven't heard this since it was new .. weird brain sensation
	3:31pm Rtintera: i can't find this song anywhere. it's so good!
	3:31pm Jeremy: Love this! glad that eva tone survived!
	3:32pm TomDash: Hey Scott - great track...new to me
	3:33pm TomDash: ...Chemicals Made From Dirt track...
	3:35pm spodiodi: who's baking carrot cake?
	3:35pm tak: this was my introduction to this heat
	3:39pm Bas NL: Hi Scott & friends! I love Madalitso Band!
	3:40pm hypothete: One day I want to start the world's worst cover band, just to do terrible things like A New Kind of Water -> Drums -> Franklin's Tower.
	🧩 3:41pm Handy Haversack: We're getting the thunder but not the storm in north Brooklyn, which seems like the raw end of the deal.
	3:42pm TDK60: Storm sounds along the Hudson.
	3:42pm hip: Love the swing of it all. Boiling whether here (Mediterranean) too.
	3:43pm Rtintera: i saw tiger lillies in Moscow back in the day. They were cute.
	🧩 3:43pm tim from champaign (now washington): @hypothete - I think countless of shitty local jam bands playing at micro-brewery beer gardens around the country beat you to it.
	3:47pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Saw the Tiger Lillies do the music for Shock Headed Peter. Disturbing in all ways.
	3:48pm iiibeat: Finally . . Almost 40 years of life . . And now a shadow in my radio! I'm glad for it. Happy too.
	3:48pm The Oscar: I knew a guy who saw the Tiger Lillies open for the Dresden Dolls in the mid 2000s. He said there were a LOT of very confused teenage girls in the audience.
	3:49pm iiibeat: What kinda Peter Pan bullshit is this??
	3:49pm PaulRobeson1920: Only 180 days till Broadway reopens. Feb 2021
	3:51pm hypothete: @The Oscar I was wondering if there was some Dresden Dolls genre overlap, actually. Makes sense.
	3:52pm PaulRobeson1920: The listeners can take it! One day at a time
	3:53pm Rtintera: @The Oscar I was a confused teenage girl at the show. and I'm a guy.
	3:54pm BH: if albums had reviews on the back (ala books)... then "too weird" would be an amazing review for that
	3:55pm iiibeat: Sign your own front door. Sneak the signature onto many, many others that do not belong to you.
	🧩 3:56pm tim from champaign (now washington): "Too Weird"? Sounds like Crosby can't remember 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' BH - I'd listen to or read something with a review of "Too Weird"!
	3:56pm BH: Too Weird, somehow not the name of a Weird Al Yankovic experimental album
	3:57pm xtrakrispy: Funny but feznyc.com is still up and running.
	3:59pm medson: Hola Scott, hope all is well with you and the skeleton crew.
	4:00pm iiibeat: Shock Headed Peter . . Just now seeing that.
	4:04pm Cp304: Good jam here
	4:06pm Woo: This Bender has a good beat.
	4:07pm spodiodi: it's consistent. i value that
	4:09pm efd: Scott! I am fully empowered to listen today!
	4:10pm Scott Williams: efd! I look forward to you using that power to this evening's radio advantage!
	4:11pm efd: ME TOO
	🧩 4:18pm Handy Haversack: A fully empowered efd released on an unsuspecting world ... air horns and angels ... firmaments will tremble!
	4:21pm Little Danny: Beautiful!
	4:21pm efd: just wait til I get that solar-powered airhorn.
	🧩 4:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CLICK.
	4:24pm Yes: i like these vibrations
	4:24pm Bas NL: This is nearing Dark Ambient.. fantastic!
	4:24pm Kat in Chicago: efd, note that Scott started with the seventies today.
	4:25pm Pseu Braun: oh yessss this dean hurley
	4:25pm efd: ohhh, I had a meeting for the first part of the show and missed that! I love TM Productions.
	🧩 4:26pm tim from champaign (now washington): Nice!
	4:26pm Kat in Chicago: those of us who remember WQXI in Atlanta were especially engaged.
	🧩 4:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): I wish I'd had the wherewithal to scour the soundtrack and new age bins for misfiled gems back when used records were cheap.
	4:28pm Fox: Hullo everyone! yaaaaaawn.
	4:29pm Fox: Oh wait! I just woke up! That's not a statement on the musical choices!
	4:29pm Kat in Chicago: good morning, Fox :)
	4:30pm Yes: heloo
	4:34pm ami ad: Hello Fox,how do?

	4:38pm Fox: The stir crazy is finally starting to hit me, I think.
	4:39pm Pseu Braun: Now you're bringing the minstrels in...
	4:39pm Kat in Chicago: Worst first line of a song I've heard in a while.
	4:39pm Scott Williams: Pseu, they don't call 'em that anymore
	4:40pm Scott Williams: Kat, they really keep going
	4:40pm Kat in Chicago: uh oh
	4:40pm Webhamster Henry: I'm mellowing here. I feel like a s'more.
	4:40pm andy the painter: mellow AND classy
	4:41pm Jeff Moore: Oof, awkward modulation.
	4:41pm Steve from Dunwoody: Alice!
	4:41pm Scott Williams: this is intended to involve you
	4:41pm Kat in Chicago: NOOOOOOOO
	4:41pm Bas NL: We're one hot mellow puddle now..
	4:42pm Webhamster Henry: Female appeal ... inserted ... SUBLIMINAL MUCH?
	🧩 4:42pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm feeling really good now all of a sudden!
	4:42pm Woo: female audience appeal-well, females, whaddya think?
	4:42pm philosofish: "mellow" -- word of the 70s
	4:42pm Kat in Chicago: mostly-female-identified listener runs screaming from the room
	🧩 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Fox. I have been feeling the stir-crazies the past couple of days, too. A couple of opportunities to get outside foreclosed, and then ... well, mixing up some sidecars right now! This is going to be great for Smooth 91.1 FM!
	4:43pm Little Danny: These ad spots are so good.
	🧩 4:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CONTINUOUS CONSULTATIONS!

	4:44pm Little Danny: @Scott: Any idea what year these spots are from?
	4:45pm Kat in Chicago: what just happened
	4:46pm ceedub: I'm so Billy pilgrimed - today is my work weekend, yet the bed music tells me that Wednesday is Monday?

	4:52pm Dean from Old Bridge: Also thought that was Daniel Johnston before checking
	4:53pm People Like Us: it's nearly 10 here
	4:55pm Fox: Handy - I was doing ok, but part of what I was using to keep myself chipper was that I would end up taking over the apartment if I couldn't find a roommate. I took over the master bedroom that used to be mine, and one night of sleeping in there had me completely ill. Burning eyes, shitty throat, headache all day. So now I feel pretty trapped here, and angry that I slept in that room every night for three years.
	🧩 4:56pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, Fox, that sucks -- the mold still?
	4:56pm Bas NL: Looking forward to the Discotheque!
	4:57pm WM: @ceedub: I like your reference to Slaughter House 5. (Actually I think the movie by George Roy Hill is even better than the novel.)
	5:00pm spodiodi: sang it merle
	5:00pm iiibeat: You may find me . . Yes, me . . Stitching a shadow onto a radio sail . . The canvas made of oscillating lines composing the interchangeable boundaries of several competing environs . . Becoming near and far . . Standing and staring in blonde puddles, at each other . . Drawing up inspiration and energy from reflected clouds and recordings of laughing audiences . . All mashed-up like potato pumpkin harps . . Toward blood filled moon craters . . Swimming dogs in particular. Critters stitched on sun symbol thump.
	5:00pm Steve from Dunwoody: Most mud got so little. You got so much.
	5:01pm Yes: MERLE
	5:02pm Fox: Handy - yuppppp.
	5:07pm The Oscar: Hag 'n' Hig!
	🧩 5:07pm Handy Haversack: I like drinking whisky in a dirty downtown bar, too! (RIP Pete of Pete's Corner.)
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ahm shorrr glad y'all didn't riot cause ah sang purity enuff ...now I shor hope you'll welcome onstage some friends of mine - The Fugs !! ...

	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or the giant monster turned the corner & showed itself...
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...them sardonic horn players what mastered smirkular breathing...

	5:46pm Kat in Chicago: dale: Stylistics, yep.
	5:48pm Kat in Chicago: Kenneth Higney's "Attic Demonstration" has made a couple of appearances on The World's Worst Records on the Sheena stream.

	5:54pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. lovely time.
