	12:09pm David (in London): Hey Carmichael.
	12:09pm Krys O.: Eating PBnJ with my left hand and typing with my right hand as I sit at my desk at work. I will probably have to answer the phone and it will in all liklihood be a telemarketer, but I am happy listening to Bryce.
	12:09pm Andrew_in_WI: Nice! A couple hours of raga before I switch over to Joe Belock
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Bryce and the Marmelized! This is going down a treat.
	12:10pm Hubig Pie: 'Ello, David. (How yooz spell in cockney?)
	12:12pm Sem: Raga against the Machine. Hello, host Bryce, and the raga-minded.
	12:12pm David (in London): Hubig. Good. Now try 'ello me old china!'
	12:12pm YETI BOB: Just realized Jagdish Prasad is holding what looks like an autoharp. Interesting.
	12:14pm zopa: Huzzah! Classical Friday returns! Hi Bryce.
	12:15pm Bryce: hi, all!!
	12:16pm Malcolm: hi david :D what a week... crazy world hey
	12:16pm David (in London): Hey Sem.
	12:17pm Hubig Pie: China be what in Cockney patois?
	12:18pm Bryce: @yeti bob, holy crap, you're right! looks like he's using one in lieu of a swarmandal, which i always describe as 'like an autoharp without the buttons.' hahaa, that's wild
	12:20pm mb: Bryce Bryce!
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: Maybe they just had him pose with the autoharp to draw in the rockabilly crowd. Marketing departments are getting pretty savvy.
	12:22pm David (in London): I'll see his autoharp and raise him a bulbul tarang.
	12:23pm David (in London): Hubig - It's now v archaic rhyming slang, China plate = mate.
	12:23pm Krys O.: Looking at santoor images online and came across this beaut: www.ebay.com...
	12:24pm YETI BOB: @Krys O: Lovely!
	12:25pm Sem: @David 12:12: Greets, David, all well there w/ you. I trust.
	12:27pm chresti: Good morning to afternoon, Bryce and company!
	12:28pm Bryce: morning!
	12:29pm David (in London): Krys, that's a beaut. I love the peacock head uprights.
	12:29pm Bryce: @Krys O - i wouldn't mind a concert cimbalom....you know, if you happen to spot one on the curb...
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Hey, chresti!
	12:30pm chresti: Hi Handy!
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: good morning(ish) Bryce and all
	12:30pm tim from champaign (now washington): I like that the ebayz listing notes that it can be had for only $57/month if you use palpalz credit.
	12:31pm YETI BOB: @tim: I can't afford it, I gave all my money to WFMU :)
	12:33pm Malcolm: when i lived in south africa 'china' was still widely used as a term of endearment - curious!
	12:34pm David (in London): Hey Coela. You're back after your early / late shift. tim / CYB - Spodiodi has been chasing a hurdy-gurdy. He might be able to be convinced...
	12:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti Bob - ha! Yeah, I was just thinking that some poor sap is going to get hornswoggled into a monthly payment. Not me though. I'm way too smart for that ruse. Hmm, I wonder what that little radio is next to the pumpkin on my FMU profile?
	12:35pm miketp: liftoff
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: good afternoon(ish) David(iL) yes, all refreshed ....(ish)
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: Did you get snow, coela?
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: we've got snow, Handy -just stopped about an hour ago. i guess you did?
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: No, just rain in Brooklyn, and plenty of it. It's been right around 40F all day.
	12:45pm chresti: Wow snow, all dry leaves and blazing sun, here.
	12:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, I just made the faux-chorizo quesadillas. Time for some raga goodness.
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: oh i's confused,Handy i thought you were in nj. (maybe thinking of Mr.Pumpy?) -not that i know the snow situation there either ...it rained hard here for a few days. raining inside a bit too.
	12:47pm Krys O.: @Bryce: I will keep my eyes peeled.
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: We're at elevation 7' above sea level -- and I assume that's above Mean Low Water!
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: i'm curious about that Jagdish Prasad album cover. he's holding a plain old autoharp; but i didn't notice an autoharp in the music. maybe i just didn't notice? maybe just not that track?
	12:54pm chresti: I thought it looked like an autoharp, too.
	12:55pm David (in London): HMV: "Jagdish, just hold this a minute for me will you?" whispers to photographer "Right, snap him."
	12:55pm Michael 98145: @Tim, looks like you joined the Swaggers for Life
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: David that's what i was thinking! wikipedia refers to him only as a vocalist but also shows him holding a stringed instrument (maybe an autoharp)
	12:58pm Lixiviated Life: Raga Bye Baby
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Sounds like another wanton act of ego and aggression by Big Autoharp to me.
	1:03pm David (in London): Handy - Let's get Mark Hurst on the case.
	1:03pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Big Autoharp. Ha!
	1:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: [commences patent application for the autotuneharp]
	1:23pm editor_b: Really digging today's show, Bryce
	1:27pm TDK60: Hello Bryce. Just back from voting. I was lucky, the whole process took only 15 minutes. Others in this city have waited 3, 4, 5 hours.
	1:29pm Naila: Can I ask what might seem like a daft and naive question from the UK. Why are the queues so massive at the polling stations in the US? Are there not many polling stations or volunteers? Every picture you see on the news looks like it must take hours to cast your vote...
	1:29pm David (in London): This is going to be one of those shows where everything gets a clicky star. Hey TDK.
	1:33pm TDK60: Naila, brace yourself. There are different election rules, procedures in these 50 states. Then, there's also voter suppression maneuvers. Like in Texas, I think the governor mandated only one early-voting ballot drop box for each county. And many other tricks like that exist to thwart democracy.
	1:34pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Naila: There are a lot of instances where multiple polling places were closed. The claim it was due to cost-cutting measures but yeah...voter suppression. Also, distancing requirements. AND there's been a huge uptick if voter turnout. Yeah, it does look like a mess from the outside...because it IS.
	1:34pm Naila: Good grief
	1:35pm David (in London): I'm glad you asked that Naila, because it's always baffled me too.
	1:36pm Naila: Thanks for the useful explanation
	1:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Naila - That's not a daft or naive question. In my personal opinion, I think it really varies city to city and region to region based on population density, time of day and how the area in question votes (in person vs mail in, early voting vs day of, et al). There's also the factors that TDK60 described. I live in a state that is primarily mail in voting. The ballot is mailed to every registered voter who has the option of returning the ballot by mail or ballot drop box. There's also a voting precinct for in person voting on the day of the election.
	1:38pm Ike: @Naila, depends on the location and whether or not it's run by conservatives who want to suppress the vote (say, Georgia) or just an incompetent patronage-ridden Board of Elections (here in New York). That said, I went near closing time to vote early on Wednesday and there was no line. I was done in 5 minutes. Others have waited hours, even the mayor. It varies wildly.
	1:38pm TDK60: Early voting in New York City has been massive. The mayor chided the Board of Elections, ordered more voting machines installed immediately.
	1:39pm Naila: Wow! Thank you. That’s so interesting and really shocking. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but even so
	1:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Naila - Mean and stupid jerk people have weaseled themselves in charge of things here and aim to keep it that way.
	1:40pm Handy Haversack: It is crucial to remember that the system here works just fine. It is also crucial to remember that the system here exists first and foremost to deny the franchise to Black Americans, then any other person of color, and then the working class and poor as much as can be. The system is almost flawless. It's just a racist, capitalist system of oppression and control. And it works every damn time.
	1:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Having the states in charge is both good and bad. Having the federal government in charge, in the case of the current administration, would be frightening.
	1:41pm Carmichael: I just voted here in California. Heard we have 47% voter participation at this point.
	1:41pm YETI BOB: @Handy: Hear, hear.
	1:41pm Andrew_in_WI: @TDK it surprises me that they actually had extra voting machines that weren't already in use.
	1:42pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Yes. And of course we were not taught the real reason or the existence of the electoral college. Just that hooey about small states not being ignored. I'm sure they still teach that.
	1:42pm Tome: RagaYagaDoodle !<>!
	1:42pm Ike: To expand a bit: Voting varies so much from state to state that, for instance, here in New York, we have something called "fusion voting" where candidates can appear on multiple party ballot lines at the same time, and voting on any line still counts just as much for that candidate. (New Yorkers, vote for Biden on the Working Families Party line please!) But that doesn't exist anywhere else in the US. (It was common in the 19th century.) Maine has instituted a GREAT idea, Ranked Choice Voting. People can rank ALL the candidates on their ballot instead of a basic, dumb "first past the post"/plurality-wins system. I love it, we need that EVERYWHERE. (NYC will soon have it, but only for certain city elections.)
	1:43pm TDK60: Hello David in Londonham. / Handy, I have to agree. More democracy is what's needed, not just electoral but in the workplace and neighborhoods.
	1:44pm fred: It's also important to pledge to WFMU. But vote as well. Don't waste time figuring out which is more important: punt and do both
	1:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Not sure if this link will work outside the U.S. www.pbs.org... Documentary on public TV about voter suppression.
	1:44pm YETI BOB: Chicago, being a Democratic stronghold, has made voting pretty easy, early voting started Oct 1 and there are plenty of places to turn in ballots. I think it's harder for the red team to play their dirty tricks here. (Of course the "Democratic Machine" gets accused of its own excesses, but I'll take those)
	1:45pm Handy Haversack: fred makes an excellent point.
	1:45pm tim from champaign (now washington): In Washington State, the top 2 vote getters in the primary appear on the general election ballot. There are 2 democrat candidates for vice governor.
	1:46pm David (in London): Ken, thanks, that link works fine.
	1:46pm diana: Hello! Damn cats! Better now than at 3am.
	1:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Ike Yes. And boy, the republican opposition to it has been relentless. Sort of sad.
	1:47pm Naila: Thanks Ken. It works. I’ll watch that later on.
	1:47pm Pip: Hey Bryce, Your voice is only coming through on the left channel. ;)
	1:47pm TDK60: Ike, I did vote the Working Families Party line. I /try/ to vote as left as possible.
	1:47pm steveo: I wasn't able to resist the pull of the 1975 t-shirt I got it back at the beginning of the fun fallraiser
	1:49pm Krys O.: Here in Jersey, I was able to vote by mail-in ballot that I dropped off in a secure collection box in my neighborhood on September 27th.
	1:49pm Bryce: oh no!!! thanks, pip!! yeah my entire broadcast setup apparently got dashed in an autoupdate, minutes before Showtime, and i had to cobble together a new setup lickety split. brb! cough
	1:50pm YETI BOB: I guess the lines are getting closer as we get closer to Nov 3, I'm now reading some reports of 2-hour waits. I'm glad I voted when I did, I didn't have to wait at all.
	1:50pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm pretty worried about the governor's race here in Washington. It's seems like current governor Jay Inslee is a shoe-in but in driving around my county for work I see only 1 Inslee sign for every 10 of his opponent's signs. His opponent is this jag off sherrif from a rural small town who wants to lock up drug users and clean the scum off the street in Seattle blah blah blah.
	1:50pm chresti: I've been dropping off my mail-in ballot at a polling place for years. There's a few places I can drop it off early, this year.
	1:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: @chresti - I heard a report that one of the parties was setting up fake drop-off boxes in California. The party that shouts "voter fraud" at every turn.
	1:53pm TDK60: At one line I observed that was taking hours, a poll worker shouted that folks with mail-in ballots didn't have to wait in line, just walk up to a drop-off box by the door, and leave.
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: Handy @140 everything is going according to plan pretty smoothly.
	1:54pm Bryce: @diana - now, AND at midnight! AND at 5:30 am. rocks back and forth
	1:55pm chresti: Oh yeah, Ken FHP, LA county sent a card showing the nearest "real" drop boxes.
	1:57pm Krys O.: Ah, my kitties will knock things off my desk to wake me up or they team up and take turns poking me.
	1:59pm Mx. Granny (e/em): greetings, Bryce and folx. I rarely get to listen to your program live, but i listen to your archives regularly, and i want to thank you for sharing such great music—i especially appreciate learning more about these wonderful sounds from India.
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: i've been talking about ranked voting since around 1979 -when i first heard of people voting "for the better of 2 evils". another reasonable option would be a vote "for" and a vote "against". (like, i'm voting for Bernie but i think he wont win so i'm also voting against ronald mcdonald, so clinton might still win)
	2:00pm chresti: Grannykins!
	2:00pm Mx. Granny (e/em): chrestikins! <3
	2:01pm Carmichael: Heya Granny!
	2:02pm Handy Haversack: Woods, new Quaratinti to try today! Black Feather: 2oz brandy, 1oz dry verm, 0.5 cointreau, dash ang. bitters, orange peel garnish, stirred, up. Hey, Granny!
	2:02pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Long time, Carmichael! Great to see you here.
	2:03pm TDK60: Hola Chrestikins sayin' hello to just- arrived Grannykins. I love this Indian music too. It helps with my sociological anxiety.
	2:03pm Mx. Granny (e/em): TDK60: word
	2:03pm Bryce: thx so much, ms. granny!! that makes me happy :)
	2:04pm David (in London): Hi Granny.
	2:04pm Ike: @Yeti Bob@1:44, your anti-machine reforms must be ahead of ours in NY. In addition to the patronage BOE issues I mentioned, the Kings Co. Dem Committee suddenly made up a rule against teleconferencing to get out of having a meeting AT ALL due to Covid-19: gothamist.com...
	2:04pm chresti: Hola TDK60. Me too.
	2:05pm David (in London): Bryce, my 16-year old son listens to FMU now, and absolutely loves your show. He puts it straight on when he get home from school on Friday.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: hey Granny
	2:05pm YETI BOB: C∅: I like the idea of ranked-choice too and I've been interested in this idea for a very long time. Our "first-past-the-post" system here enourages 2-party hegemony, makes it impossible for a 3rd party to get off the ground.
	2:05pm Ike: Plus in Queens the old Dem machine put 90-year-olds on the ballots for district leaders without their knowledge or consent. Plus Cuomo... just everything Cuomo. Plus....
	2:06pm Bryce: time for a paloma. (it's 5:30 am somewhere....)
	2:07pm chresti: That's great, David in London and son.
	2:08pm TDK60: Ike, the Demz seems like really two parties, uneasily in the same "party." The center-right is scared of the newer left.
	2:08pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. hot stuff.
	2:08pm YETI BOB: @Ike: Sure, I could point to plenty of failures of the Democrats in Chicago too. I'm just talking about the current election - the fact that this is a Democrat stronghold makes it (relatively) easy to vote here, compared to what I've been hearing from many other parts of the country. I've just got my sights on getting the Orange Menace out of office, we can worry about the rest after that.
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: Yeti but, sadly, those 2 parties would like to keep it this way
	2:10pm Mx. Granny (e/em): greetings, David (in London)! howdy, coelacanth∅!
	2:10pm YETI BOB: @TDK60: And if we had ranked-choice voting, the center-left would probably split off into a new party. @C∅: Sadly, that does seem to be the case. How is anything ever going to change when th power structures are so fossilized?
	2:11pm David (in London): TDK, it's been very much the same with the Labour Party here for the past four or five years.: centrists versus new left 'Momentum' wing. Hola ami ad.
	2:12pm YETI BOB: (i meant new-left not center-left)
	2:12pm TDK60: Granny, is voting in S.F./Bay area challenged in any way?
	2:12pm Bryce: @David, wow that's amazing! you've ruined his brain before he's even left the house!! :) thank you, that's really lovely
	2:12pm ami ad: @David (in London):Hi.
	2:13pm Bryce: i might add: that's the same age i started hanging out at fmu, and my brain has never quite recovered....
	2:13pm WFMU listener WADE: Bryce, I'm loving this. I started listening to a lot of classical raga in March to quiet the nerves. Good Stuff. Thanks.
	2:15pm TDK60: Yes, David-London. Looks similar. And from my position over here, it looks like J. Corbyn is a victim of smears or gross exaggerations. Do you think?
	2:16pm Bryce: wade, same here! same time. it's really been helping me to pull all the pieces back together into some kind of pile.
	2:16pm chresti: 15-16 was when I first heard Captain Beefheart.
	2:17pm tim from champaign (now washington): Wow, Bryce. That's really open minded for a bunch of adults allow a teenager to hang out. What did you do when you first started at FMU?
	2:17pm TDK60: Chresti, didja lose interest in the senior prom after that?
	2:20pm diana: cats can be such jerks. mine like to dance on my head and body slam me around 3:30am. started closing the door.
	2:20pm tim from champaign (now washington): I was in my mid 30s when I first heard the Bryce/Billy Jam transitions. That did a number on me. What little brain cells I had at that time were definitely scrambled.
	2:22pm listener: this show has been an awesome journey, keep it going dear leader Bryce!
	2:22pm Krys O.: @diana: No closed doors allowed. My cats will knock until the door is open or scratch the hell out of any carpet near the door as if they were tunneling through.
	2:22pm David (in London): TDK - Corbyn was definitely the target of smears, but some of the very damaging flak he took was entirely justified. Party politics aside, some of his past actions just wouldn't play well with the electorate no matter their political orientation. I had some interface with him about fifteen years ago when I was working in Islington, where he was an MP. Essentially, he was a very good constituency MP, but probably not the smartest choice as party leader. But that's just my take.
	2:22pm TDK60: ..or, chresti, make the senior prom a tad more freaky?
	2:22pm Krys O.: I was a 17 going on 18 yo college student when I first found out about WFMU and started hanging out there.
	2:24pm chresti: TDK60, I didn't have a senior prom.
	2:24pm TDK60: Thanks for that explanation, David. Certainly a complex, layered situation with Corbyn.
	2:25pm coelacanth∅: i was 15 when i first explored wfmu, but didn't get in the deep end until i was ~19 (didn't physically hang out there)
	2:26pm max (friend of ken‘s): something wrong with the stream?
	2:26pm TDK60: chresti -Oh! You lucked out I figure. I had a junior prom and hated it. (Except for a few good 45s played.)
	2:26pm YETI BOB: I grew up in NJ with two hip older brothers. Hard to remember a time before WFMU!
	2:26pm zopa: I blame Bruce.
	2:27pm Bryce: my internet done diedt! had to reset the ol' router
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: balanese gamelan music was what lured me in once-and-for-all
	2:27pm Bryce: @tim - oh, just normal volunteer things, stuffing envelopes, bon mots. absolutely no one talked to or treated me like a "kid." was just a fellow misfit. i knew i'd be around for a LONG time, lmao. a year later, the music director started putting me on overnights! what a freak show, this joint....
	2:28pm Michael 98145: our place
	2:28pm YETI BOB: C∅: Nice! I'm a member of the Chicago Balinese Gamelan. We haven't been able to get together in a while, of course - I miss it!
	2:28pm Stepchild: Another POV would be “past actions wouldn’t play well” is the essence of smears. The type of thing we’d reject out of hand as the “they were no schoolboys” trope when we see it deployed against police violence victims. But imo, ofc
	2:28pm Bryce: diana & krys, i actually shut them IN my room at night. otherwise, they'll knock glasses off my downstairs neighbors' shelves. fringe benefit: mammal blanket
	2:29pm Michael 98145: Oh! I so miss seeing live gamelan orchestras
	2:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): That's so cool, Bryce!
	2:29pm chresti: Jr, High had the last school sponsored dance I attended.
	2:30pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti Bob - I saw the Chicago Balinese Gamelan at the MCA in the mid 2000s set up in the sculpture garden.
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: Yeti that's awesome! i guess you know Webhamster Henry is also in a gamelan group?
	2:30pm Michael 98145: ( @chresti, love your new avatar :)
	2:32pm Michael 98145: all this music is wonderful
	2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: 10/30/20, Bryce busts his goal.
	2:32pm tim from champaign (now washington): THere's a gamelan master musician from Bali who teaches at the school of music at U of Illinois. He'd teach a gamelan orchestra class for music students and community students. There'd be a concert at the end of each semester. I'd go see it every chance I could.
	2:32pm chresti: Thanks Michael, my Halloween getup.
	2:34pm chresti: ^And I agree, all this music is wonderful.
	2:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): Them's a lot of kitties!
	2:35pm YETI BOB: C∅: That was a different ensemble. The group I play with - CBG - was founded in 2017. @tim: Do you mean Pak Asnawa Tutde? He comes up from Champaign to help and advise us. And we play some of his compositions. He's a wonderful, generous man (although at first I was a bit intimidated by him and his directness - "No! You are playing that wrong!")
	2:35pm WFMU listener j: Nice music for a crappy day
	2:36pm Bryce: @ken i wish! so close....
	2:36pm YETI BOB: And I think I saw Webhamster Henry at the 24-Hour Drone in Hudson NY.
	2:37pm Krys O.: Never went to the prom and wasn't asked. Dodged that bullet.
	2:37pm Michael 98145: I used to think i would one day spend an entire night watching a shadow play in Bali ...
	2:37pm YETI BOB: sorry, I mixed up tim & coelacanth∅ for a sec
	2:38pm officina: Beautiful show Bryce.
	2:38pm chresti: Awww...kitty cats!
	2:39pm David (in London): Stepchild - I was in a town in Essex, at our regional office there, when Corbyn visited for the day. To a man and a woman, the building rose, went to the window and started boo-ing. It wasn't that he 'was no schoolboy' or that he'd been smeared, it was that people had long memories for things he'd said and done. And believe me, it isn't a right wing or Tory town. If he couldn't get people onside there, it wasn't going to happen anywhere. Again, just my take on it though.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: haha now i'm confused! ... he's in kingston ny, near me. somebody i know personally is or was in another gamelan group near here, and i don't think it's the same one as Henry. popular stuff i guess!
	2:40pm Ike: Point taken @YB@2:08. Mainly I'm angry at Cuomo's Board of Elections (for failing so many others, not so much me) and then I just started ranting, sorry. Lots to be done.
	2:40pm WFMU listener j: @YETI BOB no one else can compare to this station and the fact the DJs here know their music and are not afraid to take risks
	2:40pm chresti: I was going to a continuation school in my "junior" year, no proms, plenty of partys.
	2:42pm Krys O.: Nice mammal blanket!
	2:42pm WFMU listener j: And i live the fact that we can all talk politics on here if we so choose and hate on each other about it
	2:43pm David (in London): That's one big pile of cats in that photo. Is it the angry cat choir's annual jazz meeting, tired after their performance on John Allen's show?
	2:43pm WFMU listener j: I meant not hate on each other
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: oh i just saw the 24-hour drone comment. yeah that would be him
	2:45pm Solo: Ha, son of David In London here. Thanks very much to my wizened old father for the shoutout. The show is perfect for unwinding after the school week, that being said I'm on a break now! Thanks for the music Bryce!
	2:45pm zopa: Is it okay if we mildly dislike cats?
	2:45pm Michael 98145: indeed. the fact remains, this is a very strange country.
	2:45pm tim from champaign (now washington): @ Yeti - I had to look up the name. It is I Ketut Gede Asnawa
	2:45pm YETI BOB: Right on, J
	2:46pm chresti: Hi Solo!
	2:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: It's the 1%ers' world and we're just playing in it.
	2:46pm Krys O.: In a humorous vein, Tracey Ullman does a great imitation of Jeremy Corbyn: youtu.be...
	2:47pm Handy Haversack: Hiya, Solo!
	2:47pm Solo: -chresti, Handy. Good to be here.
	2:48pm WFMU listener j: @Krys O spit coffee out that was funny
	2:48pm YETI BOB: @tim: Yeah, that's the guy! We call him Pak Tutde Asnawa, "Pak" is an honorific and "Tutde" is a different form of his name.
	2:48pm diana: Thank you! Great show today.
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: Huge fan of your dad, Solo! Bryce, I'm jealous. This bunch of cats never catpiles. I can sometimes get one to sit by the dog on me, but the three of them are just not friends. We lost the ones that tied the room together.
	2:49pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - oh very cool. Yeah, I bet he is a task master.
	2:50pm chresti: I grew up with 3 cats.
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: greetings Solo. your dad's alright! you chose wisely
	2:51pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	2:52pm David (in London): 'Wizened' indeed! Despite that horrid and completely untrue slur, hello son.
	2:52pm ami ad: Hey Solo,how do? Say hi to your dad.
	2:52pm Krys O.: Nice to see your post, Solo. Thanks, Bryce and all of the marbles in a blender folks. Be well. Oh, almost forgot, I have a picture on my Instagram (@sisterkrys)of my kitty Harvey splayed out on my lap while I wear the Bryce tee.
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Shoot, Krys is right! Look at the dang time. Bryce, this was just perfect. Thanks so much. Be well, all! See some of you at Sheila's, I hope -- I'll get the drinks in.
	2:54pm chresti: Aww, who's that on your shoulder?
	2:55pm WFMU listener j: @Handy bud light for me please
	2:55pm tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks for the past 3 hours, Bryce! Vote Bryce 2020!
	2:55pm chresti: See you, Handy!
	2:55pm Solo: Yes, he's a good chap, I'm fond of him. And he has quite the fanclub. Hello there dad!
	2:55pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. raga on.
	2:56pm TDK60: Thanks Bryce. Now I want to go look into that cassette show ya did...
	2:56pm Solo: Until next week, perhaps.
	2:56pm YETI BOB: Nice to meet you Solo! See you 'round these parts.
	2:56pm Mx. Granny (e/em): thank you Bryce, wonderful!
	2:57pm chresti: Thank you Bryce and Bryce cats!
	2:57pm Bryce: thanks, everyone! you guys always get my following week off to a warm start. xoxoooo
	2:57pm David (in London): Thanks for a soul-soothing show today Bryce. See you later RaGaroovers. Ta ta Solo.
	2:58pm Stepchild: Everyone I know agrees, but again, this is just my own view of things
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!
	3:00pm tim from champaign (now washington): Both channels are litup!
	3:00pm Michael 98145: Thank you again, Bryce. Kitty!!

	5:53pm Pierre Berthet: Hi Bryce, was listeninf-g to all these nice indian music , then sometimes, around 02:21, some of my old stuff appeared... Think it appeared a little before but assumed it was halucinations. Well, anyway...Not important. nice to hear your show.Hope I can do the addition required to get in touch .

	12:06pm YETI BOB: all due respect to Brötzmann but this is what I need right now
	12:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YOU.
	12:08pm Yes: :)
	12:08pm Carmichael: Heya Bryce and yodelers.
	12:09pm David (in London): Hey Carmichael.
	12:09pm Krys O.: Eating PBnJ with my left hand and typing with my right hand as I sit at my desk at work. I will probably have to answer the phone and it will in all liklihood be a telemarketer, but I am happy listening to Bryce.
	12:09pm Andrew_in_WI: Nice! A couple hours of raga before I switch over to Joe Belock
	12:09pm Handy Haversack: Bryce and the Marmelized! This is going down a treat.
	12:10pm Hubig Pie: 'Ello, David. (How yooz spell in cockney?)
	12:12pm Sem: Raga against the Machine. Hello, host Bryce, and the raga-minded.
	12:12pm David (in London): Hubig. Good. Now try 'ello me old china!'
	12:12pm YETI BOB: Just realized Jagdish Prasad is holding what looks like an autoharp. Interesting.
	12:14pm zopa: Huzzah! Classical Friday returns! Hi Bryce.
	12:15pm Bryce: hi, all!!
	12:16pm Malcolm: hi david :D what a week... crazy world hey
	12:16pm David (in London): Hey Sem.
	12:17pm Hubig Pie: China be what in Cockney patois?
	12:18pm Bryce: @yeti bob, holy crap, you're right! looks like he's using one in lieu of a swarmandal, which i always describe as 'like an autoharp without the buttons.' hahaa, that's wild
	12:20pm mb: Bryce Bryce!
	12:21pm Handy Haversack: Maybe they just had him pose with the autoharp to draw in the rockabilly crowd. Marketing departments are getting pretty savvy.
	12:22pm David (in London): I'll see his autoharp and raise him a bulbul tarang.
	12:23pm David (in London): Hubig - It's now v archaic rhyming slang, China plate = mate.
	12:23pm Krys O.: Looking at santoor images online and came across this beaut: www.ebay.com...
	12:24pm YETI BOB: @Krys O: Lovely!
	12:25pm Sem: @David 12:12: Greets, David, all well there w/ you. I trust.
	12:27pm chresti: Good morning to afternoon, Bryce and company!
	12:28pm Bryce: morning!
	12:29pm David (in London): Krys, that's a beaut. I love the peacock head uprights.
	12:29pm Bryce: @Krys O - i wouldn't mind a concert cimbalom....you know, if you happen to spot one on the curb...
	12:29pm Handy Haversack: Hey, chresti!
	12:30pm chresti: Hi Handy!
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: good morning(ish) Bryce and all
	12:30pm tim from champaign (now washington): I like that the ebayz listing notes that it can be had for only $57/month if you use palpalz credit.
	12:31pm YETI BOB: @tim: I can't afford it, I gave all my money to WFMU :)
	12:33pm Malcolm: when i lived in south africa 'china' was still widely used as a term of endearment - curious!
	12:34pm David (in London): Hey Coela. You're back after your early / late shift. tim / CYB - Spodiodi has been chasing a hurdy-gurdy. He might be able to be convinced...
	12:34pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti Bob - ha! Yeah, I was just thinking that some poor sap is going to get hornswoggled into a monthly payment. Not me though. I'm way too smart for that ruse. Hmm, I wonder what that little radio is next to the pumpkin on my FMU profile?
	12:35pm miketp: liftoff
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: good afternoon(ish) David(iL) yes, all refreshed ....(ish)
	12:40pm Handy Haversack: Did you get snow, coela?
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: we've got snow, Handy -just stopped about an hour ago. i guess you did?
	12:43pm Handy Haversack: No, just rain in Brooklyn, and plenty of it. It's been right around 40F all day.
	12:45pm chresti: Wow snow, all dry leaves and blazing sun, here.
	12:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, I just made the faux-chorizo quesadillas. Time for some raga goodness.
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: oh i's confused,Handy i thought you were in nj. (maybe thinking of Mr.Pumpy?) -not that i know the snow situation there either ...it rained hard here for a few days. raining inside a bit too.
	12:47pm Krys O.: @Bryce: I will keep my eyes peeled.
	12:47pm Handy Haversack: We're at elevation 7' above sea level -- and I assume that's above Mean Low Water!
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: i'm curious about that Jagdish Prasad album cover. he's holding a plain old autoharp; but i didn't notice an autoharp in the music. maybe i just didn't notice? maybe just not that track?
	12:54pm chresti: I thought it looked like an autoharp, too.
	12:55pm David (in London): HMV: "Jagdish, just hold this a minute for me will you?" whispers to photographer "Right, snap him."
	12:55pm Michael 98145: @Tim, looks like you joined the Swaggers for Life
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: David that's what i was thinking! wikipedia refers to him only as a vocalist but also shows him holding a stringed instrument (maybe an autoharp)
	12:58pm Lixiviated Life: Raga Bye Baby
	1:00pm Handy Haversack: Sounds like another wanton act of ego and aggression by Big Autoharp to me.
	1:03pm David (in London): Handy - Let's get Mark Hurst on the case.
	1:03pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Big Autoharp. Ha!
	1:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: [commences patent application for the autotuneharp]
	1:23pm editor_b: Really digging today's show, Bryce
	1:27pm TDK60: Hello Bryce. Just back from voting. I was lucky, the whole process took only 15 minutes. Others in this city have waited 3, 4, 5 hours.
	1:29pm Naila: Can I ask what might seem like a daft and naive question from the UK. Why are the queues so massive at the polling stations in the US? Are there not many polling stations or volunteers? Every picture you see on the news looks like it must take hours to cast your vote...
	1:29pm David (in London): This is going to be one of those shows where everything gets a clicky star. Hey TDK.
	1:33pm TDK60: Naila, brace yourself. There are different election rules, procedures in these 50 states. Then, there's also voter suppression maneuvers. Like in Texas, I think the governor mandated only one early-voting ballot drop box for each county. And many other tricks like that exist to thwart democracy.
	1:34pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Naila: There are a lot of instances where multiple polling places were closed. The claim it was due to cost-cutting measures but yeah...voter suppression. Also, distancing requirements. AND there's been a huge uptick if voter turnout. Yeah, it does look like a mess from the outside...because it IS.
	1:34pm Naila: Good grief
	1:35pm David (in London): I'm glad you asked that Naila, because it's always baffled me too.
	1:36pm Naila: Thanks for the useful explanation
	1:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Naila - That's not a daft or naive question. In my personal opinion, I think it really varies city to city and region to region based on population density, time of day and how the area in question votes (in person vs mail in, early voting vs day of, et al). There's also the factors that TDK60 described. I live in a state that is primarily mail in voting. The ballot is mailed to every registered voter who has the option of returning the ballot by mail or ballot drop box. There's also a voting precinct for in person voting on the day of the election.
	1:38pm Ike: @Naila, depends on the location and whether or not it's run by conservatives who want to suppress the vote (say, Georgia) or just an incompetent patronage-ridden Board of Elections (here in New York). That said, I went near closing time to vote early on Wednesday and there was no line. I was done in 5 minutes. Others have waited hours, even the mayor. It varies wildly.
	1:38pm TDK60: Early voting in New York City has been massive. The mayor chided the Board of Elections, ordered more voting machines installed immediately.
	1:39pm Naila: Wow! Thank you. That’s so interesting and really shocking. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but even so
	1:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Naila - Mean and stupid jerk people have weaseled themselves in charge of things here and aim to keep it that way.
	1:40pm Handy Haversack: It is crucial to remember that the system here works just fine. It is also crucial to remember that the system here exists first and foremost to deny the franchise to Black Americans, then any other person of color, and then the working class and poor as much as can be. The system is almost flawless. It's just a racist, capitalist system of oppression and control. And it works every damn time.
	1:40pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Having the states in charge is both good and bad. Having the federal government in charge, in the case of the current administration, would be frightening.
	1:41pm Carmichael: I just voted here in California. Heard we have 47% voter participation at this point.
	1:41pm YETI BOB: @Handy: Hear, hear.
	1:41pm Andrew_in_WI: @TDK it surprises me that they actually had extra voting machines that weren't already in use.
	1:42pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy: Yes. And of course we were not taught the real reason or the existence of the electoral college. Just that hooey about small states not being ignored. I'm sure they still teach that.
	1:42pm Tome: RagaYagaDoodle !<>!
	1:42pm Ike: To expand a bit: Voting varies so much from state to state that, for instance, here in New York, we have something called "fusion voting" where candidates can appear on multiple party ballot lines at the same time, and voting on any line still counts just as much for that candidate. (New Yorkers, vote for Biden on the Working Families Party line please!) But that doesn't exist anywhere else in the US. (It was common in the 19th century.) Maine has instituted a GREAT idea, Ranked Choice Voting. People can rank ALL the candidates on their ballot instead of a basic, dumb "first past the post"/plurality-wins system. I love it, we need that EVERYWHERE. (NYC will soon have it, but only for certain city elections.)
	1:43pm TDK60: Hello David in Londonham. / Handy, I have to agree. More democracy is what's needed, not just electoral but in the workplace and neighborhoods.
	1:44pm fred: It's also important to pledge to WFMU. But vote as well. Don't waste time figuring out which is more important: punt and do both
	1:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Not sure if this link will work outside the U.S. www.pbs.org... Documentary on public TV about voter suppression.
	1:44pm YETI BOB: Chicago, being a Democratic stronghold, has made voting pretty easy, early voting started Oct 1 and there are plenty of places to turn in ballots. I think it's harder for the red team to play their dirty tricks here. (Of course the "Democratic Machine" gets accused of its own excesses, but I'll take those)
	1:45pm Handy Haversack: fred makes an excellent point.
	1:45pm tim from champaign (now washington): In Washington State, the top 2 vote getters in the primary appear on the general election ballot. There are 2 democrat candidates for vice governor.
	1:46pm David (in London): Ken, thanks, that link works fine.
	1:46pm diana: Hello! Damn cats! Better now than at 3am.
	1:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Ike Yes. And boy, the republican opposition to it has been relentless. Sort of sad.
	1:47pm Naila: Thanks Ken. It works. I’ll watch that later on.
	1:47pm Pip: Hey Bryce, Your voice is only coming through on the left channel. ;)
	1:47pm TDK60: Ike, I did vote the Working Families Party line. I /try/ to vote as left as possible.
	1:47pm steveo: I wasn't able to resist the pull of the 1975 t-shirt I got it back at the beginning of the fun fallraiser
	1:49pm Krys O.: Here in Jersey, I was able to vote by mail-in ballot that I dropped off in a secure collection box in my neighborhood on September 27th.
	1:49pm Bryce: oh no!!! thanks, pip!! yeah my entire broadcast setup apparently got dashed in an autoupdate, minutes before Showtime, and i had to cobble together a new setup lickety split. brb! cough
	1:50pm YETI BOB: I guess the lines are getting closer as we get closer to Nov 3, I'm now reading some reports of 2-hour waits. I'm glad I voted when I did, I didn't have to wait at all.
	1:50pm tim from champaign (now washington): I'm pretty worried about the governor's race here in Washington. It's seems like current governor Jay Inslee is a shoe-in but in driving around my county for work I see only 1 Inslee sign for every 10 of his opponent's signs. His opponent is this jag off sherrif from a rural small town who wants to lock up drug users and clean the scum off the street in Seattle blah blah blah.
	1:50pm chresti: I've been dropping off my mail-in ballot at a polling place for years. There's a few places I can drop it off early, this year.
	1:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: @chresti - I heard a report that one of the parties was setting up fake drop-off boxes in California. The party that shouts "voter fraud" at every turn.
	1:53pm TDK60: At one line I observed that was taking hours, a poll worker shouted that folks with mail-in ballots didn't have to wait in line, just walk up to a drop-off box by the door, and leave.
	1:53pm coelacanth∅: Handy @140 everything is going according to plan pretty smoothly.
	1:54pm Bryce: @diana - now, AND at midnight! AND at 5:30 am. rocks back and forth
	1:55pm chresti: Oh yeah, Ken FHP, LA county sent a card showing the nearest "real" drop boxes.
	1:57pm Krys O.: Ah, my kitties will knock things off my desk to wake me up or they team up and take turns poking me.
	1:59pm Mx. Granny (e/em): greetings, Bryce and folx. I rarely get to listen to your program live, but i listen to your archives regularly, and i want to thank you for sharing such great music—i especially appreciate learning more about these wonderful sounds from India.
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: i've been talking about ranked voting since around 1979 -when i first heard of people voting "for the better of 2 evils". another reasonable option would be a vote "for" and a vote "against". (like, i'm voting for Bernie but i think he wont win so i'm also voting against ronald mcdonald, so clinton might still win)
	2:00pm chresti: Grannykins!
	2:00pm Mx. Granny (e/em): chrestikins! <3
	2:01pm Carmichael: Heya Granny!
	2:02pm Handy Haversack: Woods, new Quaratinti to try today! Black Feather: 2oz brandy, 1oz dry verm, 0.5 cointreau, dash ang. bitters, orange peel garnish, stirred, up. Hey, Granny!
	2:02pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Long time, Carmichael! Great to see you here.
	2:03pm TDK60: Hola Chrestikins sayin' hello to just- arrived Grannykins. I love this Indian music too. It helps with my sociological anxiety.
	2:03pm Mx. Granny (e/em): TDK60: word
	2:03pm Bryce: thx so much, ms. granny!! that makes me happy :)
	2:04pm David (in London): Hi Granny.
	2:04pm Ike: @Yeti Bob@1:44, your anti-machine reforms must be ahead of ours in NY. In addition to the patronage BOE issues I mentioned, the Kings Co. Dem Committee suddenly made up a rule against teleconferencing to get out of having a meeting AT ALL due to Covid-19: gothamist.com...
	2:04pm chresti: Hola TDK60. Me too.
	2:05pm David (in London): Bryce, my 16-year old son listens to FMU now, and absolutely loves your show. He puts it straight on when he get home from school on Friday.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: hey Granny
	2:05pm YETI BOB: C∅: I like the idea of ranked-choice too and I've been interested in this idea for a very long time. Our "first-past-the-post" system here enourages 2-party hegemony, makes it impossible for a 3rd party to get off the ground.
	2:05pm Ike: Plus in Queens the old Dem machine put 90-year-olds on the ballots for district leaders without their knowledge or consent. Plus Cuomo... just everything Cuomo. Plus....
	2:06pm Bryce: time for a paloma. (it's 5:30 am somewhere....)
	2:07pm chresti: That's great, David in London and son.
	2:08pm TDK60: Ike, the Demz seems like really two parties, uneasily in the same "party." The center-right is scared of the newer left.
	2:08pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. hot stuff.
	2:08pm YETI BOB: @Ike: Sure, I could point to plenty of failures of the Democrats in Chicago too. I'm just talking about the current election - the fact that this is a Democrat stronghold makes it (relatively) easy to vote here, compared to what I've been hearing from many other parts of the country. I've just got my sights on getting the Orange Menace out of office, we can worry about the rest after that.
	2:09pm coelacanth∅: Yeti but, sadly, those 2 parties would like to keep it this way
	2:10pm Mx. Granny (e/em): greetings, David (in London)! howdy, coelacanth∅!
	2:10pm YETI BOB: @TDK60: And if we had ranked-choice voting, the center-left would probably split off into a new party. @C∅: Sadly, that does seem to be the case. How is anything ever going to change when th power structures are so fossilized?
	2:11pm David (in London): TDK, it's been very much the same with the Labour Party here for the past four or five years.: centrists versus new left 'Momentum' wing. Hola ami ad.
	2:12pm YETI BOB: (i meant new-left not center-left)
	2:12pm TDK60: Granny, is voting in S.F./Bay area challenged in any way?
	2:12pm Bryce: @David, wow that's amazing! you've ruined his brain before he's even left the house!! :) thank you, that's really lovely
	2:12pm ami ad: @David (in London):Hi.
	2:13pm Bryce: i might add: that's the same age i started hanging out at fmu, and my brain has never quite recovered....
	2:13pm WFMU listener WADE: Bryce, I'm loving this. I started listening to a lot of classical raga in March to quiet the nerves. Good Stuff. Thanks.
	2:15pm TDK60: Yes, David-London. Looks similar. And from my position over here, it looks like J. Corbyn is a victim of smears or gross exaggerations. Do you think?
	2:16pm Bryce: wade, same here! same time. it's really been helping me to pull all the pieces back together into some kind of pile.
	2:16pm chresti: 15-16 was when I first heard Captain Beefheart.
	2:17pm tim from champaign (now washington): Wow, Bryce. That's really open minded for a bunch of adults allow a teenager to hang out. What did you do when you first started at FMU?
	2:17pm TDK60: Chresti, didja lose interest in the senior prom after that?
	2:20pm diana: cats can be such jerks. mine like to dance on my head and body slam me around 3:30am. started closing the door.
	2:20pm tim from champaign (now washington): I was in my mid 30s when I first heard the Bryce/Billy Jam transitions. That did a number on me. What little brain cells I had at that time were definitely scrambled.
	2:22pm listener: this show has been an awesome journey, keep it going dear leader Bryce!
	2:22pm Krys O.: @diana: No closed doors allowed. My cats will knock until the door is open or scratch the hell out of any carpet near the door as if they were tunneling through.
	2:22pm David (in London): TDK - Corbyn was definitely the target of smears, but some of the very damaging flak he took was entirely justified. Party politics aside, some of his past actions just wouldn't play well with the electorate no matter their political orientation. I had some interface with him about fifteen years ago when I was working in Islington, where he was an MP. Essentially, he was a very good constituency MP, but probably not the smartest choice as party leader. But that's just my take.
	2:22pm TDK60: ..or, chresti, make the senior prom a tad more freaky?
	2:22pm Krys O.: I was a 17 going on 18 yo college student when I first found out about WFMU and started hanging out there.
	2:24pm chresti: TDK60, I didn't have a senior prom.
	2:24pm TDK60: Thanks for that explanation, David. Certainly a complex, layered situation with Corbyn.
	2:25pm coelacanth∅: i was 15 when i first explored wfmu, but didn't get in the deep end until i was ~19 (didn't physically hang out there)
	2:26pm max (friend of ken‘s): something wrong with the stream?
	2:26pm TDK60: chresti -Oh! You lucked out I figure. I had a junior prom and hated it. (Except for a few good 45s played.)
	2:26pm YETI BOB: I grew up in NJ with two hip older brothers. Hard to remember a time before WFMU!
	2:26pm zopa: I blame Bruce.
	2:27pm Bryce: my internet done diedt! had to reset the ol' router
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: balanese gamelan music was what lured me in once-and-for-all
	2:27pm Bryce: @tim - oh, just normal volunteer things, stuffing envelopes, bon mots. absolutely no one talked to or treated me like a "kid." was just a fellow misfit. i knew i'd be around for a LONG time, lmao. a year later, the music director started putting me on overnights! what a freak show, this joint....
	2:28pm Michael 98145: our place
	2:28pm YETI BOB: C∅: Nice! I'm a member of the Chicago Balinese Gamelan. We haven't been able to get together in a while, of course - I miss it!
	2:28pm Stepchild: Another POV would be “past actions wouldn’t play well” is the essence of smears. The type of thing we’d reject out of hand as the “they were no schoolboys” trope when we see it deployed against police violence victims. But imo, ofc
	2:28pm Bryce: diana & krys, i actually shut them IN my room at night. otherwise, they'll knock glasses off my downstairs neighbors' shelves. fringe benefit: mammal blanket
	2:29pm Michael 98145: Oh! I so miss seeing live gamelan orchestras
	2:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): That's so cool, Bryce!
	2:29pm chresti: Jr, High had the last school sponsored dance I attended.
	2:30pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti Bob - I saw the Chicago Balinese Gamelan at the MCA in the mid 2000s set up in the sculpture garden.
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: Yeti that's awesome! i guess you know Webhamster Henry is also in a gamelan group?
	2:30pm Michael 98145: ( @chresti, love your new avatar :)
	2:32pm Michael 98145: all this music is wonderful
	2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: 10/30/20, Bryce busts his goal.
	2:32pm tim from champaign (now washington): THere's a gamelan master musician from Bali who teaches at the school of music at U of Illinois. He'd teach a gamelan orchestra class for music students and community students. There'd be a concert at the end of each semester. I'd go see it every chance I could.
	2:32pm chresti: Thanks Michael, my Halloween getup.
	2:34pm chresti: ^And I agree, all this music is wonderful.
	2:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): Them's a lot of kitties!
	2:35pm YETI BOB: C∅: That was a different ensemble. The group I play with - CBG - was founded in 2017. @tim: Do you mean Pak Asnawa Tutde? He comes up from Champaign to help and advise us. And we play some of his compositions. He's a wonderful, generous man (although at first I was a bit intimidated by him and his directness - "No! You are playing that wrong!")
	2:35pm WFMU listener j: Nice music for a crappy day
	2:36pm Bryce: @ken i wish! so close....
	2:36pm YETI BOB: And I think I saw Webhamster Henry at the 24-Hour Drone in Hudson NY.
	2:37pm Krys O.: Never went to the prom and wasn't asked. Dodged that bullet.
	2:37pm Michael 98145: I used to think i would one day spend an entire night watching a shadow play in Bali ...
	2:37pm YETI BOB: sorry, I mixed up tim & coelacanth∅ for a sec
	2:38pm officina: Beautiful show Bryce.
	2:38pm chresti: Awww...kitty cats!
	2:39pm David (in London): Stepchild - I was in a town in Essex, at our regional office there, when Corbyn visited for the day. To a man and a woman, the building rose, went to the window and started boo-ing. It wasn't that he 'was no schoolboy' or that he'd been smeared, it was that people had long memories for things he'd said and done. And believe me, it isn't a right wing or Tory town. If he couldn't get people onside there, it wasn't going to happen anywhere. Again, just my take on it though.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: haha now i'm confused! ... he's in kingston ny, near me. somebody i know personally is or was in another gamelan group near here, and i don't think it's the same one as Henry. popular stuff i guess!
	2:40pm Ike: Point taken @YB@2:08. Mainly I'm angry at Cuomo's Board of Elections (for failing so many others, not so much me) and then I just started ranting, sorry. Lots to be done.
	2:40pm WFMU listener j: @YETI BOB no one else can compare to this station and the fact the DJs here know their music and are not afraid to take risks
	2:40pm chresti: I was going to a continuation school in my "junior" year, no proms, plenty of partys.
	2:42pm Krys O.: Nice mammal blanket!
	2:42pm WFMU listener j: And i live the fact that we can all talk politics on here if we so choose and hate on each other about it
	2:43pm David (in London): That's one big pile of cats in that photo. Is it the angry cat choir's annual jazz meeting, tired after their performance on John Allen's show?
	2:43pm WFMU listener j: I meant not hate on each other
	2:45pm coelacanth∅: oh i just saw the 24-hour drone comment. yeah that would be him
	2:45pm Solo: Ha, son of David In London here. Thanks very much to my wizened old father for the shoutout. The show is perfect for unwinding after the school week, that being said I'm on a break now! Thanks for the music Bryce!
	2:45pm zopa: Is it okay if we mildly dislike cats?
	2:45pm Michael 98145: indeed. the fact remains, this is a very strange country.
	2:45pm tim from champaign (now washington): @ Yeti - I had to look up the name. It is I Ketut Gede Asnawa
	2:45pm YETI BOB: Right on, J
	2:46pm chresti: Hi Solo!
	2:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: It's the 1%ers' world and we're just playing in it.
	2:46pm Krys O.: In a humorous vein, Tracey Ullman does a great imitation of Jeremy Corbyn: youtu.be...
	2:47pm Handy Haversack: Hiya, Solo!
	2:47pm Solo: -chresti, Handy. Good to be here.
	2:48pm WFMU listener j: @Krys O spit coffee out that was funny
	2:48pm YETI BOB: @tim: Yeah, that's the guy! We call him Pak Tutde Asnawa, "Pak" is an honorific and "Tutde" is a different form of his name.
	2:48pm diana: Thank you! Great show today.
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: Huge fan of your dad, Solo! Bryce, I'm jealous. This bunch of cats never catpiles. I can sometimes get one to sit by the dog on me, but the three of them are just not friends. We lost the ones that tied the room together.
	2:49pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Yeti - oh very cool. Yeah, I bet he is a task master.
	2:50pm chresti: I grew up with 3 cats.
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: greetings Solo. your dad's alright! you chose wisely
	2:51pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	2:52pm David (in London): 'Wizened' indeed! Despite that horrid and completely untrue slur, hello son.
	2:52pm ami ad: Hey Solo,how do? Say hi to your dad.
	2:52pm Krys O.: Nice to see your post, Solo. Thanks, Bryce and all of the marbles in a blender folks. Be well. Oh, almost forgot, I have a picture on my Instagram (@sisterkrys)of my kitty Harvey splayed out on my lap while I wear the Bryce tee.
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Shoot, Krys is right! Look at the dang time. Bryce, this was just perfect. Thanks so much. Be well, all! See some of you at Sheila's, I hope -- I'll get the drinks in.
	2:54pm chresti: Aww, who's that on your shoulder?
	2:55pm WFMU listener j: @Handy bud light for me please
	2:55pm tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks for the past 3 hours, Bryce! Vote Bryce 2020!
	2:55pm chresti: See you, Handy!
	2:55pm Solo: Yes, he's a good chap, I'm fond of him. And he has quite the fanclub. Hello there dad!
	2:55pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. raga on.
	2:56pm TDK60: Thanks Bryce. Now I want to go look into that cassette show ya did...
	2:56pm Solo: Until next week, perhaps.
	2:56pm YETI BOB: Nice to meet you Solo! See you 'round these parts.
	2:56pm Mx. Granny (e/em): thank you Bryce, wonderful!
	2:57pm chresti: Thank you Bryce and Bryce cats!
	2:57pm Bryce: thanks, everyone! you guys always get my following week off to a warm start. xoxoooo
	2:57pm David (in London): Thanks for a soul-soothing show today Bryce. See you later RaGaroovers. Ta ta Solo.
	2:58pm Stepchild: Everyone I know agrees, but again, this is just my own view of things
	2:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Bryce!
	3:00pm tim from champaign (now washington): Both channels are litup!
	3:00pm Michael 98145: Thank you again, Bryce. Kitty!!
	3:00pm Honeybear: cats are so much smarter than humans
	3:00pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ªʳⁱ૭ªᵗ°♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
