Listener comments!
	♥ 9:03pm steveo: Number 9 to 5!
	9:03pm Rick G: Good evening Ira and fellow debate truants.
	9:04pm TDK60: It's nine o-somethin. Good. Hello/hola.
	9:05pm LA the other Louisiana: helloooooooooooo
	♥ 9:05pm spodiodi: hi Ira, all. glad to be here listening \m/
	9:07pm slugluv1313: good evening, Ira and Skeleton Crew and Everyone! happy to be here too :)
	♥ 9:08pm spodiodi: this track needs a few more places for clicky stars
	9:10pm Ira: I'll say hi now, and try to think of something cleverer to say later.
	9:11pm drew: Super creepy!
	9:11pm nfrae: pageantry among elites while the world burns
	9:11pm Roberto: This is reminiscent of the WFMU simulcast of the 2004 RNC.
	9:12pm drew: I was thinking "Frankie Teardrop" has nothing on this.
	♥ 9:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Word: Debate Definition: What you use to catch de fish.
	♥ 9:15pm spodiodi: Ken (no shame <3. love it)
	9:16pm mariano: Hey Ira, Crew, folks.
	9:22pm TDK60: ..my neighborhood hardware proprietor.
	9:23pm JakeGould: Hey Ira! If anyone is watching the debate, do it on Twitter with your smartphone. Get it in full screen mode. The left side is Drumpf with endless comments rolling over his face and the right side is Biden with tons of hearts floating up. SO GOOD!
	9:23pm John L: Can't bring myself to watch or listen to the debate. Once in awhile I'll take a gander, but a quick one , like a kid looking through the blinds hoping the lightning is moving away from the house.
	9:25pm StringOFperils: My old orange and white set is on the fritz.
	9:26pm yipster: i lit my orange on fire
	9:26pm Ira: I doubt I'd be watching, even if I weren't on the air. Glad to have the choice made for me.
	9:27pm slugluv1313: @John L. -- my strategy exactly! LOVING Television as a beautiful foil :)
	9:28pm Ira: On another note, so great to hear Televsion's guitars going out of tune within the space of this live cut. If you got to see them live, they would tune and tune and tune. I never saw a better band.
	9:28pm TDK60: Love raw live Television.
	9:28pm Mike W: the counterprogramming this moment demands, thanku i’ll take my answer on the air
	9:29pm slugluv1313: @Ira -- jealous! NEVER got to see them live! and, this "Adventure" not on my LP -- so cool to hear :)
	9:33pm John L: slugluv1313, I'm also getting pretty stoned while drinking tea out of a Feelies coffee cup.
	9:33pm listener 126464: Thanks Ira, my Honey Radar radar was going off.
	♥ 9:34pm spodiodi: sounded like the Jeopardy music for a sec coming in there
	9:34pm Ira: @John L.: I've got that coffee cup! I think I have something different in it.
	9:34pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: The "debate" is unwatchable. tRump has talked non-stop through every Biden answer, as ever, without consequence. Honestly, is anyone "undecided"? The entire exercise is useless in these circumstances.
	9:36pm slugluv1313: @ John L. -- hah! perfect! i mentioned earlier that even though i have not done heavy drugs in ages, and rarely drink these days, i am REALLY craving both right now :)
	9:37pm slugluv1313: A Certain Ration having a kinda Liquid Liquid vibe -- ??
	9:37pm slugluv1313: *Ratio
	9:37pm John L: Speaking of the Feelies, this may be the first year I won't have seen them live since the 2008 show in Battery Park.
	9:38pm slugluv1313: Charanga <3 <3 <3
	9:42pm Rtintera: Love me some elvis
	9:44pm slugluv1313: . . . and doing fun stuff like looking for employment -- in places that actually (hopefully, genuinely) do good work if anyone is in the same boat -- ActBlue is hiring: secure.actblue.com...
	9:44pm John L: Is it be or is Trust kinda underrated in the Elvis canon?
	9:46pm LA the other Louisiana: heading offline, just want to thank Ira and the bones for great sounds
	9:48pm Ira: So long, LA.
	9:48pm listener pi: That debate...wow. It's watchable for me. Potus gets called a liar and a jerk to his face in a debate. It's a first. He needed to be harried and challenged much more over the last 4 years. I think everyone was too careful with him.
	9:52pm StringOFperils: I'm happy that people play Sam Rivers' music now and then.
	9:54pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Ira your show is a great excuse to avoid all social media tonight. Thank you for being on the air.
	9:56pm postess: They do play Sam Rivers! I was just reminded of local sax player/composer Nick Mazzarella covering Beatrice with his trio at Andy’s Jazz Club where I had taken some out-of-town folks who were in for my friend Saqib’s wedding. I was so proud of Chicago
	♥ 9:57pm Vanessa bikes: Still missing Nate K but you are making it hard, Ira, this Tuesday night.
	10:04pm postess: I had been hoping for Blue Yodel No. 9 on the blue-themed show. But I’ll swing outside the zone for this
	10:06pm Georgia: David amram will turn 90 next month.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: oh dang slugluv, unfortunately ActBlue isn't hiring in my state or I'd be all over that remote donor support position. I'm job hunting atm too
	10:07pm Georgia: Not next month.. November.
	10:08pm Ira: @Georgia can't wait for that October Hellraiser!
	♥ 10:08pm justoffthebeach: just watched modern romance last night for the first time, and that was the scene I showed my partner.
	10:09pm John L: I am on a FB film page and Albert Brooks came up several times recently. A few people with questionable taste, but he was well defended. Comedy is hard to argue about, though.
	10:10pm Ira: Modern Romance--one of my favorite movies. And James L. Brooks's finest directorial work.
	10:15pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- oh gosh -- same here! they are not hiring in NJ either :( have the debate on but cannot handle watching too much -- my fact-checking brain is having a meltdown aghhhhh!!!!
	10:18pm Kat in Chicago: you're braver than I, I'm not going near the debate.
	10:18pm egould310: Robyn Hitchcock yassss! Greetings from Ellensburg, WA.
	10:19pm Ira: It's a pleasure to have you, Mr. Gould. Big fan.
	10:22pm slugluv1313: @ Kat in Chicago -- not sure if i am braver! i mentioned earlier -- morbid curiosity? and knowing one's enemy grrrrr . . . ! i DID look at the NY Times though, to see if they were hiring fact checkers :)
	10:23pm Rick G: @egould310: I bought my first Yo La Tengo record at Old Skool Records in Ellensburg. (I’m Not Afraid...) Late to the game but still. I try to hit Mark Pickerel’s stand in Thorpe when I visit, too.
	10:29pm leshwatt: Just came over from the debate. Sheesh, give me a little sanity!
	10:30pm slugluv1313: @leshwatt -- sending you healing sane vibes/energy :)
	10:30pm John L: Love this Mordecai. Has a New Zealand sound. I'll have to look them up.
	10:30pm Ira: @leshwatt: You're too late for one of your namesakes. I was threatening to play the song again. Now I think I will.
	10:35pm absmiami: dont feel bad, rick I'm Not Afraid was my maiden voyage, too
	10:37pm leshwatt: Go Ira go!!
	10:38pm rich from Red Hook: Foggy Notion, great song to compliment the debate
	10:40pm egould310: @RickG Old Skool is still here and was open today. I’m in town on business. I’ll stop in tomorrow afternoon and tell ‘em “Rick G says Heeeyyyu-ooooo!!!!”
	10:42pm Rick G: @absmiami: thanks! Here’s the thing: I bought it about 9 years after it came out! I’m a newbie and just happy to have stumbled upon it all. It’s plenty fun to play catch up, even (especially?) at this age, ha.
	10:42pm slugluv1313: something i learned waaaaaay back when i was a kid in the 60s/70s, reading Ann Landers: so many women would write in, asking Ann for advice b/c their husbands were constantly accusing them of cheating on them -- and the wives were not doing any of that at all, nor had any attention of doing so -- and usually it was the husbands who were doing the cheating! and ever since, i have observed that those who shout the loudest and make the biggest stinks about alleged offenses are the ones who are actually committing those offenses :(
	10:42pm John L: Helen Reddy passed away. You have a copy of Angie Baby tucked away?
	10:42pm Chop Scott: No malarkey here, thanks Ira.
	10:43pm Ira: I wish I was prepared to pay tribute to Helen Reddy, but sadly all I can do tonight is remember her fondly.
	10:45pm slugluv1313: oh no! Helen Reddy gone? i grew up with her songs Delta Dawn! You and Me Against the World! and even though it is cheesy AF, I am Woman
	10:46pm Ira: My producer is trying to come up with someone who covered this Mayo Thompson song. Anyone know?
	10:46pm Kat in Chicago: it was super cheesy but it was still great
	10:47pm slugluv1313: Don Jr. is coked outta his "mind" and Gayle King looks exhausted -- so THANK YOU IRA FOR BEING HERE!!!!!!!!
	10:48pm John L: I may have to pull out my Midnight Special DVD box after your show is over. Lower Dens do a cover. Just found it on YT.
	10:49pm Scott Williams: Ira, tell your producer I was hoping it would be YLT the next time Todd invites them to his Marathon show
	10:52pm John L: Yes
	10:52pm leshwatt: Thanks Ira and WFMU crew and listeners!
	10:53pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- right? one of the most incongruous things i have ever witnessed was during my 7th or 8th grade talent show -- the basketball team's cheerleaders (b/c back then, there WAS no girls' basketball!) got up on stage and twirled their batons to "I Am Woman" (yeah, by 5th grade i was being referred to as one of those "stupid women's libbers" hah!)
	10:53pm wfmu listener phillip: am I getting thru?? tap tap tap. T mobile throttled me back to 1X.
	♥ 11:00pm Hoboken Jack: I survived the first presidential debate and all I got was this lousy Case Western t-shirt. Hey Ira, Georgia, Scott, Chop Scott, 126464, Jeff, HP Ken, everybody!!
	11:00pm slugluv1313: Mississippi John Hurt HELL YEAH
	11:01pm BH: at least a clinic sponsored the debate, apt
	11:03pm Ira: Hiya, Jack. I'm not playing Jaded Azurites a 3rd time, no matter how nicely you ask!
	11:07pm egould310: Nice piece of bubblegum to chew on. Thanks, Ira.
	11:08pm Ira: As long as I've got your attention, next week's show will be a tribute to the there-are-no-words Marshall Allen. The Arkestra's Tusk Festival set plus lots lots more.
	11:09pm melinda: Sad news about Helen Reddy, I have good childhood memories of listening to her Greatest Hits album with giant headphones.
	11:10pm tom: hey ira did you watch that catherine o'hara outerlimits episode discussed last week?
	11:11pm Kat in Chicago: Marshall Allen is a treasure indeed.
	11:11pm Ira: @tom: Forgot all about it!
	11:12pm tom: its not all that good, but check it out.
	11:14pm wfmu listener phillip: didnt Jabba the hut have a brother? wasnt he orange in color?
	11:15pm Richy4619: ░▧ ☺ ☻ ▨░
	♥ 11:16pm Mx. Granny (e/em): yes so good. hello, ira, wfmu crew and carriers on!
	11:16pm wfmu listener phillip: WOW! is it just me or does Joe Biden look 100 yrs old or someone who had their face burned?
	11:17pm Jedley: Yayyy work ended in time to make it for some quality down-home radio mirth. Waiting to read how the debate went before I assess whether my circulatory system can handle the insult.
	♥ 11:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ah, the Albert Brooks show
	♥ 11:19pm Hoboken Jack: Ira, you're so jaded about Jaded Azurites. jigsawrecords.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 11:20pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i know i already said this, however, so good!
	11:21pm wfmu listener phillip: I watched the whole debate. I can sum it up this way. you know that western the good the bad the ugly.
	11:22pm wfmu listener phillip: the cemetery scene where the three gunfighters shoot it out to get the gold buried in a grave
	11:23pm Kat in Chicago: I like your picture Mx. Granny, you look ready for the next Aloha Friday.
	11:24pm slugluv1313: this Hanging Gardens is absolutely lovely :)
	11:24pm melinda: I watched part of the debate and found it unbearable.
	11:26pm slugluv1313: adding the TUSK broadcasts to my schedule/calendar -- looking forward!
	♥ 11:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So much loveliness, Ira
	11:27pm Ike: These sounds are soothing after that hideous "debate" which was really more like sticking my head in a buzzsaw. Just constant angry interruptions and lies. Everybody lost, especially the viewers.
	11:27pm slugluv1313: @melinda -- same here, took the carnage in tiny doses i felt so horrible for Chris Wallace! and Gayle King looked exhausted :(
	11:28pm Ira: Thanks, Kenzo. And never to soon to thank everyone for listening. When I was young, just knowing The Birds was on tv was enough to scare the crap out of me, even though I wasn't watching. I felt that way tonight.
	11:29pm BH: fortunately PBS uploaded videos of all the previous debates onto YouTube recently. My buddy Jason Kander deleted his "Like arguing with an airhorn" tweet, so I think that means I can steal it and act like I thought of it myself.
	♥ 11:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): That's like what knowing your show is on is like, except opposite
	11:30pm melinda: @Ike agree, this is good post-debate music
	11:32pm Jedley: Thank goodness I made it in time for the gorgeous trance-inducing section! Thanks for bringing it Ira
	♥ 11:33pm Hoboken Jack: Though I enjoyed the Tarozzi track, I was worried my roof was leaking.
	11:34pm slugluv1313: yes, i agree -- SO soothing/healing -- like music version of Trauma Informed Yoga :) THANK YOU IRA!!!
	11:34pm absmiami: who is Lucas Brode ? this is really good bill frissell influence ?
	11:35pm Ira: That's the advantage of having the headphones on, Jack. I have no idea what's happening outside.
	11:36pm WFMU listener: The whole debate was one big shit show
	11:36pm WillCrete: Thanks for the music tonight Ira. This drumming on the Lucas Brode piece has such an especially nice propulsion and phrasing.
	11:39pm Chop Scott: @Hoboken Jack: I live in perpetual fear of what I hear in my space whenever it rains.
	11:40pm BH: Biden probably did some things tonight that Hillary would have been roasted for if she did it in 2016. But hey, some people's standards are what they are. The one "who won?" poll i've seen seems like it's essentially a "who do you support" poll. So, if you're the candidate that's behind, you kinda want to not lose debates?
	11:42pm egould310: Oh my god that Reivers song is my new favorite song ever. Call Michael Shelley and tell him it’s a “Number One Hit!”
	11:42pm John L: Just found the Lucas Brode on bandcamp. I'll order it this Friday. First Friday of every month the artist gets 100%. They have extended it to the end of the year.
	11:46pm Jedley: Was planning the same John. I'll probably spend over $100 on bands I've heard on this show. And they say artists don't make anything off of radio ;)
	11:47pm Richy4619: yayyy my froggy friends, bardo pond! glorious set, ira. wfmu with the antidote !!!
	11:49pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:50pm Ira: @Jedley: And vice-versa! Don't let on to the muckety mucks, but I'm pocketing a pretty penny on payola. Well, given royalty rates these days, make that a pretty fraction of a penny.
	11:51pm slugluv1313: @ John L. -- YAY! glad to hear that -- too broke to order all i want for this Friday, will set aside $$ for November and December :)
	11:51pm Jedley: <all the laughing emojis>
	11:52pm absmiami: good luck to the Mets in the post season ! Oh sorry ...
	11:53pm slugluv1313: wonderful show, Ira -- infinite thanks! as i have said before -- so grateful for WFMU, a true oasis of sanity in the midst of all this craziness :)
	11:53pm Ira: @absmiami: I didn't see your comment. @Jedley: That's the new Mott the Hoople single.
	11:55pm Joe B: thanks Ira, great show!
	11:55pm melinda: Thanks Ira!
	♥ 11:55pm spodiodi: Thanks, Ira!
	11:55pm Kat in Chicago: thank you, Ira. this is a good time to hear this one
	11:56pm scobot: I still love Hot Space.
	♥ 11:56pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks, Ira, Georgia, Scott! Interestingly or not interestingly, this week I took out a Freddie Mercury singles and B sides compilation from the library.
	11:56pm GListener MW: Under Pressure is exactly what I needed right now, pre-bed, after a particularly tough day. <3 Thank you!
	11:57pm Jedley: Thanks Ira, crew, FMU diehards....oasis of sanity indeed
	11:57pm Ira: Thank you, everybody. I don't know about you, but I tear up every single time I hear this song. Take care. And as Daniel Johnston said: Keep punching, Joe.
	11:58pm egould310: Good show (again). Thanks, Ira. Thanks skeleton crew.
	♥ 11:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Farewell, wonderful 'sphere.
	11:58pm mariano: Thank you Ira and Crew, 'night everyone!
	11:59pm GListener MW: Love, everyone. Love everyone. Goodnight all!
	♥ 12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. That sounded a lot like Vanilla Ice's song. Good night, everyone.
	8:50am 12539: Thanks, Ira (& crew!)
	12:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Ira, I'm posting this a few days after this was broadcasted. I saw Yo La Tengo in Champaign, IL in September 2008. You dedicated your encore of Nuclear War to "the junior senator from Illinois". I love that you did that. That's a memory that always sticks with me.

	9:34pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: The "debate" is unwatchable. tRump has talked non-stop through every Biden answer, as ever, without consequence. Honestly, is anyone "undecided"? The entire exercise is useless in these circumstances.
	9:36pm slugluv1313: @ John L. -- hah! perfect! i mentioned earlier that even though i have not done heavy drugs in ages, and rarely drink these days, i am REALLY craving both right now :)
	9:37pm slugluv1313: A Certain Ration having a kinda Liquid Liquid vibe -- ??
	9:37pm slugluv1313: *Ratio
	9:37pm John L: Speaking of the Feelies, this may be the first year I won't have seen them live since the 2008 show in Battery Park.
	9:38pm slugluv1313: Charanga <3 <3 <3
	9:42pm Rtintera: Love me some elvis
	9:44pm slugluv1313: . . . and doing fun stuff like looking for employment -- in places that actually (hopefully, genuinely) do good work if anyone is in the same boat -- ActBlue is hiring: secure.actblue.com...
	9:44pm John L: Is it be or is Trust kinda underrated in the Elvis canon?
	9:46pm LA the other Louisiana: heading offline, just want to thank Ira and the bones for great sounds
	9:48pm Ira: So long, LA.
	9:48pm listener pi: That debate...wow. It's watchable for me. Potus gets called a liar and a jerk to his face in a debate. It's a first. He needed to be harried and challenged much more over the last 4 years. I think everyone was too careful with him.
	9:52pm StringOFperils: I'm happy that people play Sam Rivers' music now and then.
	9:54pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Ira your show is a great excuse to avoid all social media tonight. Thank you for being on the air.
	9:56pm postess: They do play Sam Rivers! I was just reminded of local sax player/composer Nick Mazzarella covering Beatrice with his trio at Andy’s Jazz Club where I had taken some out-of-town folks who were in for my friend Saqib’s wedding. I was so proud of Chicago
	♥ 9:57pm Vanessa bikes: Still missing Nate K but you are making it hard, Ira, this Tuesday night.
	10:04pm postess: I had been hoping for Blue Yodel No. 9 on the blue-themed show. But I’ll swing outside the zone for this
	10:06pm Georgia: David amram will turn 90 next month.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: oh dang slugluv, unfortunately ActBlue isn't hiring in my state or I'd be all over that remote donor support position. I'm job hunting atm too
	10:07pm Georgia: Not next month.. November.
	10:08pm Ira: @Georgia can't wait for that October Hellraiser!
	♥ 10:08pm justoffthebeach: just watched modern romance last night for the first time, and that was the scene I showed my partner.
	10:09pm John L: I am on a FB film page and Albert Brooks came up several times recently. A few people with questionable taste, but he was well defended. Comedy is hard to argue about, though.
	10:10pm Ira: Modern Romance--one of my favorite movies. And James L. Brooks's finest directorial work.
	10:15pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- oh gosh -- same here! they are not hiring in NJ either :( have the debate on but cannot handle watching too much -- my fact-checking brain is having a meltdown aghhhhh!!!!
	10:18pm Kat in Chicago: you're braver than I, I'm not going near the debate.
	10:18pm egould310: Robyn Hitchcock yassss! Greetings from Ellensburg, WA.
	10:19pm Ira: It's a pleasure to have you, Mr. Gould. Big fan.
	10:22pm slugluv1313: @ Kat in Chicago -- not sure if i am braver! i mentioned earlier -- morbid curiosity? and knowing one's enemy grrrrr . . . ! i DID look at the NY Times though, to see if they were hiring fact checkers :)
	10:23pm Rick G: @egould310: I bought my first Yo La Tengo record at Old Skool Records in Ellensburg. (I’m Not Afraid...) Late to the game but still. I try to hit Mark Pickerel’s stand in Thorpe when I visit, too.
	10:29pm leshwatt: Just came over from the debate. Sheesh, give me a little sanity!
	10:30pm slugluv1313: @leshwatt -- sending you healing sane vibes/energy :)
	10:30pm John L: Love this Mordecai. Has a New Zealand sound. I'll have to look them up.
	10:30pm Ira: @leshwatt: You're too late for one of your namesakes. I was threatening to play the song again. Now I think I will.
	10:35pm absmiami: dont feel bad, rick I'm Not Afraid was my maiden voyage, too
	10:37pm leshwatt: Go Ira go!!
	10:38pm rich from Red Hook: Foggy Notion, great song to compliment the debate
	10:40pm egould310: @RickG Old Skool is still here and was open today. I’m in town on business. I’ll stop in tomorrow afternoon and tell ‘em “Rick G says Heeeyyyu-ooooo!!!!”
	10:42pm Rick G: @absmiami: thanks! Here’s the thing: I bought it about 9 years after it came out! I’m a newbie and just happy to have stumbled upon it all. It’s plenty fun to play catch up, even (especially?) at this age, ha.
	10:42pm slugluv1313: something i learned waaaaaay back when i was a kid in the 60s/70s, reading Ann Landers: so many women would write in, asking Ann for advice b/c their husbands were constantly accusing them of cheating on them -- and the wives were not doing any of that at all, nor had any attention of doing so -- and usually it was the husbands who were doing the cheating! and ever since, i have observed that those who shout the loudest and make the biggest stinks about alleged offenses are the ones who are actually committing those offenses :(
	10:42pm John L: Helen Reddy passed away. You have a copy of Angie Baby tucked away?
	10:42pm Chop Scott: No malarkey here, thanks Ira.
	10:43pm Ira: I wish I was prepared to pay tribute to Helen Reddy, but sadly all I can do tonight is remember her fondly.
	10:45pm slugluv1313: oh no! Helen Reddy gone? i grew up with her songs Delta Dawn! You and Me Against the World! and even though it is cheesy AF, I am Woman
	10:46pm Ira: My producer is trying to come up with someone who covered this Mayo Thompson song. Anyone know?
	10:46pm Kat in Chicago: it was super cheesy but it was still great
	10:47pm slugluv1313: Don Jr. is coked outta his "mind" and Gayle King looks exhausted -- so THANK YOU IRA FOR BEING HERE!!!!!!!!
	10:48pm John L: I may have to pull out my Midnight Special DVD box after your show is over. Lower Dens do a cover. Just found it on YT.
	10:49pm Scott Williams: Ira, tell your producer I was hoping it would be YLT the next time Todd invites them to his Marathon show
	10:52pm John L: Yes
	10:52pm leshwatt: Thanks Ira and WFMU crew and listeners!
	10:53pm slugluv1313: @Kat in Chicago -- right? one of the most incongruous things i have ever witnessed was during my 7th or 8th grade talent show -- the basketball team's cheerleaders (b/c back then, there WAS no girls' basketball!) got up on stage and twirled their batons to "I Am Woman" (yeah, by 5th grade i was being referred to as one of those "stupid women's libbers" hah!)
	10:53pm wfmu listener phillip: am I getting thru?? tap tap tap. T mobile throttled me back to 1X.
	♥ 11:00pm Hoboken Jack: I survived the first presidential debate and all I got was this lousy Case Western t-shirt. Hey Ira, Georgia, Scott, Chop Scott, 126464, Jeff, HP Ken, everybody!!
	11:00pm slugluv1313: Mississippi John Hurt HELL YEAH
	11:01pm BH: at least a clinic sponsored the debate, apt
	11:03pm Ira: Hiya, Jack. I'm not playing Jaded Azurites a 3rd time, no matter how nicely you ask!
	11:07pm egould310: Nice piece of bubblegum to chew on. Thanks, Ira.
	11:08pm Ira: As long as I've got your attention, next week's show will be a tribute to the there-are-no-words Marshall Allen. The Arkestra's Tusk Festival set plus lots lots more.
	11:09pm melinda: Sad news about Helen Reddy, I have good childhood memories of listening to her Greatest Hits album with giant headphones.
	11:10pm tom: hey ira did you watch that catherine o'hara outerlimits episode discussed last week?
	11:11pm Kat in Chicago: Marshall Allen is a treasure indeed.
	11:11pm Ira: @tom: Forgot all about it!
	11:12pm tom: its not all that good, but check it out.
	11:14pm wfmu listener phillip: didnt Jabba the hut have a brother? wasnt he orange in color?
	11:15pm Richy4619: ░▧ ☺ ☻ ▨░
	♥ 11:16pm Mx. Granny (e/em): yes so good. hello, ira, wfmu crew and carriers on!
	11:16pm wfmu listener phillip: WOW! is it just me or does Joe Biden look 100 yrs old or someone who had their face burned?
	11:17pm Jedley: Yayyy work ended in time to make it for some quality down-home radio mirth. Waiting to read how the debate went before I assess whether my circulatory system can handle the insult.
	♥ 11:18pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Ah, the Albert Brooks show
	♥ 11:19pm Hoboken Jack: Ira, you're so jaded about Jaded Azurites. jigsawrecords.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 11:20pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i know i already said this, however, so good!
	11:21pm wfmu listener phillip: I watched the whole debate. I can sum it up this way. you know that western the good the bad the ugly.
	11:22pm wfmu listener phillip: the cemetery scene where the three gunfighters shoot it out to get the gold buried in a grave
	11:23pm Kat in Chicago: I like your picture Mx. Granny, you look ready for the next Aloha Friday.
	11:24pm slugluv1313: this Hanging Gardens is absolutely lovely :)
	11:24pm melinda: I watched part of the debate and found it unbearable.
	11:26pm slugluv1313: adding the TUSK broadcasts to my schedule/calendar -- looking forward!
	♥ 11:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So much loveliness, Ira
	11:27pm Ike: These sounds are soothing after that hideous "debate" which was really more like sticking my head in a buzzsaw. Just constant angry interruptions and lies. Everybody lost, especially the viewers.
	11:27pm slugluv1313: @melinda -- same here, took the carnage in tiny doses i felt so horrible for Chris Wallace! and Gayle King looked exhausted :(
	11:28pm Ira: Thanks, Kenzo. And never to soon to thank everyone for listening. When I was young, just knowing The Birds was on tv was enough to scare the crap out of me, even though I wasn't watching. I felt that way tonight.
	11:29pm BH: fortunately PBS uploaded videos of all the previous debates onto YouTube recently. My buddy Jason Kander deleted his "Like arguing with an airhorn" tweet, so I think that means I can steal it and act like I thought of it myself.
	♥ 11:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): That's like what knowing your show is on is like, except opposite
	11:30pm melinda: @Ike agree, this is good post-debate music
	11:32pm Jedley: Thank goodness I made it in time for the gorgeous trance-inducing section! Thanks for bringing it Ira
	♥ 11:33pm Hoboken Jack: Though I enjoyed the Tarozzi track, I was worried my roof was leaking.
	11:34pm slugluv1313: yes, i agree -- SO soothing/healing -- like music version of Trauma Informed Yoga :) THANK YOU IRA!!!
	11:34pm absmiami: who is Lucas Brode ? this is really good bill frissell influence ?
	11:35pm Ira: That's the advantage of having the headphones on, Jack. I have no idea what's happening outside.
	11:36pm WFMU listener: The whole debate was one big shit show
	11:36pm WillCrete: Thanks for the music tonight Ira. This drumming on the Lucas Brode piece has such an especially nice propulsion and phrasing.
	11:39pm Chop Scott: @Hoboken Jack: I live in perpetual fear of what I hear in my space whenever it rains.
	11:40pm BH: Biden probably did some things tonight that Hillary would have been roasted for if she did it in 2016. But hey, some people's standards are what they are. The one "who won?" poll i've seen seems like it's essentially a "who do you support" poll. So, if you're the candidate that's behind, you kinda want to not lose debates?
	11:42pm egould310: Oh my god that Reivers song is my new favorite song ever. Call Michael Shelley and tell him it’s a “Number One Hit!”
	11:42pm John L: Just found the Lucas Brode on bandcamp. I'll order it this Friday. First Friday of every month the artist gets 100%. They have extended it to the end of the year.
	11:46pm Jedley: Was planning the same John. I'll probably spend over $100 on bands I've heard on this show. And they say artists don't make anything off of radio ;)
	11:47pm Richy4619: yayyy my froggy friends, bardo pond! glorious set, ira. wfmu with the antidote !!!
	11:49pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:50pm Ira: @Jedley: And vice-versa! Don't let on to the muckety mucks, but I'm pocketing a pretty penny on payola. Well, given royalty rates these days, make that a pretty fraction of a penny.
	11:51pm slugluv1313: @ John L. -- YAY! glad to hear that -- too broke to order all i want for this Friday, will set aside $$ for November and December :)
	11:51pm Jedley: <all the laughing emojis>
	11:52pm absmiami: good luck to the Mets in the post season ! Oh sorry ...
	11:53pm slugluv1313: wonderful show, Ira -- infinite thanks! as i have said before -- so grateful for WFMU, a true oasis of sanity in the midst of all this craziness :)
	11:53pm Ira: @absmiami: I didn't see your comment. @Jedley: That's the new Mott the Hoople single.
	11:55pm Joe B: thanks Ira, great show!
	11:55pm melinda: Thanks Ira!
	♥ 11:55pm spodiodi: Thanks, Ira!
	11:55pm Kat in Chicago: thank you, Ira. this is a good time to hear this one
	11:56pm scobot: I still love Hot Space.
	♥ 11:56pm Hoboken Jack: Thanks, Ira, Georgia, Scott! Interestingly or not interestingly, this week I took out a Freddie Mercury singles and B sides compilation from the library.
	11:56pm GListener MW: Under Pressure is exactly what I needed right now, pre-bed, after a particularly tough day. <3 Thank you!
	11:57pm Jedley: Thanks Ira, crew, FMU diehards....oasis of sanity indeed
	11:57pm Ira: Thank you, everybody. I don't know about you, but I tear up every single time I hear this song. Take care. And as Daniel Johnston said: Keep punching, Joe.
	11:58pm egould310: Good show (again). Thanks, Ira. Thanks skeleton crew.
	♥ 11:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Farewell, wonderful 'sphere.
	11:58pm mariano: Thank you Ira and Crew, 'night everyone!
	11:59pm GListener MW: Love, everyone. Love everyone. Goodnight all!
	♥ 12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. That sounded a lot like Vanilla Ice's song. Good night, everyone.
	8:50am 12539: Thanks, Ira (& crew!)
	12:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Ira, I'm posting this a few days after this was broadcasted. I saw Yo La Tengo in Champaign, IL in September 2008. You dedicated your encore of Nuclear War to "the junior senator from Illinois". I love that you did that. That's a memory that always sticks with me.
