	12:16pm Woo: Hi to Pseu and everybody
	12:16pm Bill in W.O.: Hey Pseu! New High Water Marks, who knew? Pseu knew. Good knews, erm, news.
	12:18pm Doobois: Yesh! New TSM! Thanksh, Pseu!
	12:18pm Pseu Braun: Heyz All - yep new HWM, TSM, Posies
	12:21pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’ve heard this song on WFMU quite a few times this year. It’s always been my favorite U2 tune :-)
	12:22pm PJ: I think this the first time I have heard U2 on FMU. I had forgotten about this b-side - it’s really good.
	12:22pm mrdonutsu: So much Eno on this.
	12:24pm Pseu Braun: I've played it a handful of times over 20 years, not reflected in the search engine here, though
	12:25pm Niall: This is pretty. Like a... Mumford and Sons I'd want to listen to. Or an Avett Brothers I'm not tired of. Though that chorus is pure vintage AOR gold.
	12:26pm Niall: Honestly, I could listen to the theme song for an hour. I could listen to the theme song read the phone book. Is that the Cobra Verde guy?
	12:29pm Mister Dobalina: You & I time, is the best time!
	12:29pm KlausVonB: Thank you for making Thursday afternoons groovy
	12:31pm mb: Pseu Pseu Lets get it on, peoples!
	12:33pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Those early Lindley records are packed with fun.
	12:33pm Ike: KITTY!!!
	12:35pm efd: I see two plays of that U2 song on "Thing With A Hook," including today. You included "the" in the title today, but not when you played it a few years ago, and there's also a non-Hook spin where it's listed as "3 sunrises" instead of "three" spelled out like the other two times. (Me. I am the playlist nerd who cares.)
	12:35pm steveo: sounding good, Pseu; hello everyone
	12:35pm efd: man, I almost put myself to sleep reading my own comment just now.
	12:36pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd Who needs swank AI/database query software when efd is on the case?!
	12:37pm Pseu Braun: Hey Evan, too funny!
	12:37pm KlausVonB: Every Van Duren track you've played has been super tasty. Looks like I need to pluck out some dinero for it soon.
	12:38pm steveo: i for one, am invigorated by search tool nerdouts
	12:39pm rich from Red Hook: Couldn't agree w Neill more. Can we hear the theme song again. I missed the start of the show
	12:41pm Krys O.: Love the Grass Roots, especially Creed. Rrrawr.....
	12:49pm Four Seasons Grain & Seed: Ooo. Love this Rainy Day Saints.
	12:54pm Mister Dobalina: These tunes are making the monotonous task of listing things on Ebay, a bit more tolerable.
	12:59pm eastvanhalen: Ahahahah Pseu, I feel slightly less terrible about the wreck my place is right now
	12:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Just arrived in time for mention of eyeball holes. It's a Very Good Day.
	12:59pm karlward: Essential New Jersey
	12:59pm Mister Dobalina: Pseu's thing with a tan.
	1:01pm p/b: I'm stuffing old t-shirt facemasks in my shitty window frames now that November demands coming inside so hearing you with your paper window blinds
	1:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Pseu and all. One more week to hook a turkey.
	1:02pm Listener Robert: I remember when your "theme song" consisted of a death-metal type voice saying, overlaid on itself, "Pseu Braun, Pseu Braun," etc.
	1:02pm Michele with One "L": You are right! I'm eating an apple and a pepper.
	1:03pm mb: Shout outs to DJ 1L!!
	1:03pm Woo: Health is your only true wealth.
	1:03pm Listener Robert: It had some sound effect too I can't recall.
	1:03pm Mister Dobalina: I know that Matt W., likes donuts and pizza.
	1:03pm Michele with One "L": Loved that last set Pseu!
	1:04pm Fletchernyc: Hi Pseu!! Also “no comment”
	1:05pm eastvanhalen: eeeeeeeeee you're playing my best friend's band
	1:05pm Pseu Braun: @Listener Robert - OH YEAH I forgot! Ed Shepp did my theme song for quite a while! DJ Mr. Finewine used to taunt me with lyrics
	1:06pm Andrew_in_WI: Michele is womaning the boards today
	1:06pm eastvanhalen: Thanks Pseu!
	1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Skel with one "L."
	1:10pm Krys O.: THANKS for the Q!
	1:11pm Woo: Love the Q especially this song
	1:11pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): NRBQ!!! These guys have always been in the "deserving wider recognition" column for me.
	1:11pm Krys O.: Got a soft spot in my heart for Big Al songs.
	1:13pm Mister Dobalina: Some cool things for sale on FMU's ebay page...check it out.
	1:15pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Me too. Great group that NRBQ. Saw them many years ago in NYC with Skeeter Davis.
	1:15pm Brisbane: Reminds me of that tune "Minivan"
	1:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SKEETER!
	1:18pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hi Pseu. Great show today. Thank you.
	1:18pm Krys O.: Saw NRBQ at Club Bene.
	1:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): How does a person find the WFMU ebay page?
	1:18pm geoff mcq: fuck yeah! never EVER heard this Adem song on the radio ever. Fuck yeah Pseu!
	1:19pm Krys O.: Addendum: Was part of the WFMU contingent at the Q show.
	1:21pm Pseu Braun: happy to accommodate the "fuck yeah Pseu!" contig
	1:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw NRBQ at The State Theater in Portland, Maine. This was in the Spampinato era.
	1:22pm Woo: Saw the Q with John Sebastian years ago. It was a good one.
	1:22pm geoff mcq: go on yersel!
	1:23pm Niall: Oh, I like this one, too.
	1:23pm Niall: @Krys O.: Where should one start with NRBQ? I've been curious, but... daunted.
	1:24pm Pseu Braun: Bob Brainen is king of the Q. He's back on the air, too!
	1:25pm Niall: Actually all y'all who appear to be fans of NRBQ - a "start here" nudge would be gratefully received.
	1:26pm Niall: I have this mental image of... Little Feat meets Black Oak Arkansas. I have no idea why!
	1:26pm Mister Dobalina: Here is FMU's ebay page, it's on the main page as well. ebay.to...
	1:26pm Krys O.: @Niall: At Yankee Stadium, Tapdancin' Bats, and Grooves in Orbit are mighty fine.
	1:26pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Niall I started with Tiddly Winks. At Yankee Stadium is great too.
	1:28pm captain beef fart: live @ yankee stadium was my foray
	1:29pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	1:29pm Krys O.: Message for the Mess Age is the last one with Big Al.
	1:30pm Joe B: show sounding great Pseu
	1:31pm Krys O.: Peek-a-Boo: The Best of NRBQ is good too.
	1:32pm Fletchernyc: I’m out
	1:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I like mine with marmite.
	1:33pm Peter from Dover NJ: Plain English muffins, please. And yes, I'd use the same knife for both butter and cream cheese.
	1:33pm eastvanhalen: Same knife for butter and cream cheese is acceptable. Same knife for butter and jam is not.
	1:33pm Krys O.: There's a tradition here at the office for the birthday celebrant to bring in bagels for everyone. We have consistently used separate knives for the various spreads.
	1:34pm Listener Robert: I'll use the same knife for cream cheese and jelly. I just don't put butter and cream cheese on the same item. My housemate Fin (formerly known as Bob) would, however.
	1:34pm Bob in DC: Peanut butter all day. One knife always
	1:34pm Deborah: Lunch break from teaching marathon. Vegetable soup and English muffin with Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. And get to listen for a minute....
	1:35pm Bob in DC: Preach
	1:35pm Krys O.: I make PBnJ sandwiches for lunches at work. I use a knife for the PB and a spoon for the apricot preserves. I'm definitely Team OCD.
	1:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Seriously. Utensils don't live forever, people. I support this.
	1:37pm Beast of Boonton: It's OK to re-use paper plates too
	1:37pm Krys O.: Brainen was with us at the Club Bene show.
	1:37pm phat: I can't tell you how much I enjoy NRBQ and Bob Brainen
	1:37pm Peter from Dover NJ: @WoodsofNH I LOVE Marmite.
	1:38pm Bill in W.O.: Re-use of a knife is fine, up to the individual, de gustibus. BUT, leaving traces of a food in a(ny) container of another one is just eww. YMMV but a line must be drawn.
	1:38pm Niall: @Krys O., @WoodsofNH (now Maine) and deffo @Pseu Braun - thank you! Plenty to sink my teeth into, looks like!
	1:38pm Deborah: What is in Marmite? Sounds dreadful. Sorry.
	1:39pm Niall: Word up to Marmite.
	1:40pm Krys O.: Yeast, Deborah.
	1:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: I've made PBJs on leftover hamburger buns, rather than toss them out. I hate wasting food.
	1:41pm Niall: While we're crowd-sourcing, any Philadelphia-smart people here? I had a Philly visitor here in Ireland recently and she was smitten with the white bread we have here - super-fresh, super-soft, fantastic for sandwiches. Sorta like the famous Japanese white bread. Anyone in Philly making loaves like that I could have sent to her?
	1:41pm Niall: Ooo, Lustmørd!
	1:43pm Niall: Bread like this: brennansbread.ie... I get this isn't the best case for recs, but y'all are so much nicer and have better taste than... Facebook or Yelp.
	1:44pm KlausVonB: thanks for Owsley!!!
	1:44pm Niall: Haha, "thank you for tuning into 'Prescriptivist Linguistics Radio Hour on WFMU.'"
	1:45pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Peter from Dover NJ: It's not for everyone, obviously.
	1:46pm phat: I hate "so," too. Just had a conversation with someone else about that. I did, however, start a Twitter thread with it yesterday.
	1:47pm Pseu Braun: ah, yes @KlausVonB - @phat add it to your resolutions for 2021
	1:47pm phat: It's been a pet peeve of mine for years. I blame NPR.
	1:48pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I am with you on "right?". As far as I can tell it is used a lot by the US technocratic elite; business schools, law, academia, and anywhere smart people are making an argument and want to signify that their point is obvious on the face of it, and you should not even have the temerity to dissent!
	1:49pm Niall: Phat: I blame "Beowulf," but that may be Seamus Heaney's fault. ;)
	1:50pm Woo: Talking is just hard.
	1:50pm Deborah: As an academic, I slip sometime but find doing due diligence and any form of the verb to grapple are much much worse offenders. Crap! Almost time to teach again.
	1:51pm Conan the Grammarian: I feel the same way about not capitalizing the first words in sentences and not ending them with periods. À chacun son goût...
	1:52pm Niall: Crom is not pleased.
	1:52pm Pseu Braun: Used to work in the ivy league. I would fkng RECOIL when the stuttering higher-ups would use the crucifixion nails to apply "right?" to merit their points
	1:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all. Sorry I'm a little late on the topic. Pretty much all in on utensil , cup and plate usability. I've even been known to eat over the sink to avoid particular messes. Butter/ Cream Cheese knife....Nahhh.
	1:54pm Niall: @pseu braun: "INRI: 'I No, Rite? Imean....'"
	1:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: "reusability" So?
	1:55pm Niall: Just mind your Irish audience, so.
	1:55pm Niall: "the deathray davies" is a hell of a band name.
	1:57pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I feel like the "SO, " thing started with NPR, but I don't listen to a lot of other newsy things. Heck, I don't even listen to NPR anymore.
	1:58pm Barkevious Shabazz: Vinyl Skyway. Top shelf!
	1:58pm Roberto: Oh yeah, I often wear the yellow Hook tee to my Zoom workouts, and one time my trainer said, what's that show called again? Pseu's Freshly Caught?
	1:59pm Krys O.: I never listened to NPR. My writing was chock full of the passive voice and I try to avoid that when I remember to do that.
	2:00pm Pseu Braun: pseu's freshly caught!
	2:00pm Deborah: @Pseu Braun No Ivy League but a damn good community college in Jersey City. Administrators are more likely to grapple. Faculty use the right? and it doesn't bother me. But grapple will make me want to puke. Sorry, not sorry.
	2:01pm Niall: @WoodsofNH (now Maine): Slate's "Lexicon Valley" podcast did at least two episodes about the phenomenon - first with Garfield and Vuolo (the V1 days) and some years later with John McWhorter (V2, currently). They're worth listening to, IIRC.
	2:01pm luka: oh my goodness, haven't heard this jay bennett in so long.
	2:01pm Bill in W.O.: RIP jb and wo
	2:02pm Fox: Wooop. Halloooo.
	2:03pm West Trenton Vinnie: my entire quarantine cuisine is based entirely on not creating dishes, therefore everything is wrapped in a tortilla
	2:04pm Joe B: alright!
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wow. Haven't heard this in forever.
	2:05pm Pseu Braun: hahaa Belock
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Niall Thanks, i'll have to check that out.
	2:07pm Woo: The answer is Yes
	2:07pm mndave: Loved the Juliana Hatfield version of this song
	2:07pm Pseu Braun: welcome new customers on the board - love it!
	2:07pm KlausVonB: I was busy making salad and crushing up turkey bacon to type and tell you I was in the kitchen, sorry for the delay and thank you for Olivia NJ!
	2:07pm Roberto: Yeah, it's hard to pick a favorite. Both ON-J and JH slay it.
	2:09pm WFMU listener John: Hello fellow listeners
	2:09pm chris_in_space: I don't know if it's been said, but worse than "So," at the beginning of sentences is "So" without the comma. For me, it gets worse—posting one word: "This." Stab me.
	2:10pm Joe B: Lehigh Valley represent!
	2:11pm chaos_in_LA_LA: Wow, I forgot how lovely and burned into my mind ‘a little more love’ is. Thanks Pseu!
	2:11pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Stumbled onto this last night: Jeff Kazee (Southside Johnny) is doing a live stream tonight from Daryl's Place. It's his Early Elton Trio and they're going to reproduce the 11-17-70 album. This is happening tonight. I think the link is on jeffkazee.com.
	2:14pm Pseu Braun: @WONHNM is this information we should thank you for? I'm not even sure what it means - Southside Johnny is doing Elton John songs in a trio?
	2:15pm Niall: @chris_in_space: Oh yeah, that got me right in the feels. <duck/> ;)
	2:16pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Pseu Kazee plays keys in the Jukes. He has this trio (I think the Jukes bass player is in it) that specializes in Elton music from that era. I've never heard them, though he has described it as "not a cover band." So I'm sort of intrigued.
	2:16pm iiibeat: Digging . . In the sand . . No . . Digging this show! Wrote this for a photo of a woman winking from a pile of leaves plus an invisible poem . . All in All . . They fall . . Each and every . . Three plus two . . All in All . . Tree plus too . . Now and again but different again . . Now space in space . . Spring flowers flow from your face . . Racing to the dead of Winter each . . Apiece . . Cannot cease.
	2:18pm Pseu Braun: ah, the poetry of the listeners. appreciated and doesn't happen often.
	2:18pm Fox: The domain I wanted to buy got bought hours after I searched for it. AGAIN. jfc.
	2:19pm Krys O.: Perfect segue!
	2:21pm Krys O.: Speaking of annoyances and speaking, I talk to myself and this happens more and more as I age and fully isolated. I'm quite sure that my co-workers have chalked that up to my being just a weirdo.
	2:22pm Alvy Singer: Ray singing about losing touch with his family
	2:22pm Tome: Hey Pseu !<>! glad you're here and everyone else too !<>!
	2:23pm Mike Sin: The Kinks' entire output on Reprise has only grown in stature during the decades. This LP and "Arthur" are well respected (men) now.
	2:23pm chris_in_space: @Krys O. you still have co-workers? Like, in-person co-workers? What a luxury.
	2:24pm chris_in_space: @Mike Sin: couldn't agree more re: Kinks.
	2:25pm mb: I was forced to walk out of an NRBQ show at the Bowery Ballroom in 2012(?) We went for the opener but the most vocal person in the "crew" was actually offended by them. lol. He demanded our money back and got it! I was and still am miffed about that. Miss that place big time. That being said is there a place on the intertrons that one could find a comprehensive list of past shows at venues in NYC? Would love to re-live some shows as my ticket stub collection is incomplete once they stopped issuing paper tickets for shows. tia
	2:25pm βrian: @Krys O: Friends teased me about that in high school. I remember thinking, "Who doesn't talk to themselves??"
	2:27pm chris_in_space: Great Stampeders Can-Con!
	2:27pm Threemoons: Greetings Pseu, fellow Hookers...
	2:28pm WFMU listener John: @Brian sometimes you have good answers
	2:30pm listener 126464: macaroons!
	2:30pm otto: I LOVE SWEET CITY WOMAN!!!!!
	2:30pm Krys O.: @chris_in_space: Yes, I have co-workers. It's a small company and we are spread out. As a printing company, we are considered an essential business.
	2:30pm βrian: It's also a good way to vet your seemingly reasonable thoughts.
	2:31pm Krys O.: @mb: Was the person offended by NRBQ or the opening band?
	2:32pm otto: gestures the Double Twisted Longhorn fingerstyle-action
	2:32pm Krys O.: Also, @mb: Setlist.fm is helpful. www.setlist.fm
	2:32pm dave wuz here: i skeeve cat food stink
	2:32pm slocker: I love the smell of my cat's breath.
	2:33pm iiibeat: If you are ever being chased by . . A BEAR . . Run downhill! Their heads are too heavy and they will tumble down . . Lost it.
	2:33pm Krys O.: @Brian: I am usually giving myself instructions as I multi-task which is whole other can o' worms.
	2:34pm WFMU listener john: @Pseu olivia newton john is one of my favorite singers
	2:35pm βrian: Then there's always the question of which of those internal speakers to give voice to.
	2:35pm WFMU listener john: @Krys O do you ever answer your self
	2:35pm Krys O.: @listener john: Yes and often.
	2:35pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The Bouffant-Encrusted Thought Police?
	2:36pm iiibeat: It is trying to turn you into a cat!! Don't let it!!!
	2:36pm Spankyflop: Is that the same Alex Winter from Bill & Ted?
	2:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: @John - Julie's show (Tuesday afternoons 3 - 7 PM, currently) on the Drummer stream often features some ONJ selections.
	2:37pm WFMU listener john: @Krys O i had a boss who asked me if i was nuts:)
	2:37pm ami ad: a former boss told me it's only a problem if you start to argue with yourself.
	2:38pm WFMU listener john: @KFHP thanks will giver her a listen
	2:38pm KlausVonB: Same Alex Winter (Frank Zappa doc)
	2:38pm Syl: Pseu, is your cat Naboo named after the Mighty Boosh character? I love him!
	2:41pm Pseu Braun: @Syl xactly! he's made of magic
	2:41pm Krys O.: @Spankyflop: Alex Winter has been working for a long time on this doc. It was held up due to the litigious Zappa trust. :(
	2:42pm dave wuz here: did you get him from the nabootique?
	2:42pm Syl: @Pseu I love it! Perfect name for a magicat
	2:43pm Susan: The undoing is kind of trashy junk tv that will get its claws in you after 10 minutes. Please play some Unicorns 🦄 probably heard them here a decade or more ago
	2:44pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I had a boss who talked to herself and would say "These people, I can't believe it!" and "I can't believe these people!" which became catchphrases for us on her team.
	2:47pm mb: @Krys: NRBQ offended him. I don't think he was expecting the sight of upbeat Normal Joes enjoying themselves on stage. I'm pretty sure it was the Charlie Hunter Trio or the Benevento/Russo duo that opened. THanks!!
	2:48pm Krys O.: Ah, I see, mb.
	2:48pm mariano: Krys O: I have full conversations with myself, and I've reached the age where I don't care, though it is kind of embarrassing if I happen to be doing it in public and someone walks by. It seems like each time though, there's a glimmer or recognition and understanding from them.
	2:49pm Mister Dobalina: Great show, Pseu-Pseu-PseuDio!
	2:49pm mariano: Spankyflop: Alex Winter was also one of the Lost Boys!
	2:52pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Pseu 🌟 :-)) !!
	2:53pm Krys O.: Howard Kaylan used to share Alex Winter's Kickstarter for the doc. Howard also lamented the initial interference of the Zappa trust. Glad to see it was all sorted out. BTW-I'm Team Dweezil.
	2:56pm Chop Scott: Thanks Pseu!
	2:56pm slugluv1313: great show, Pseu! (been listening while working/lurking) thanks so much!
	2:57pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew.
	2:57pm Krys O.: My how the time flies by so swiftly! Thank you, Pseu and the Hooker-types.
	2:57pm Pseu Braun: THANKS LISTENERS! PEACE
	2:58pm Bill in W.O.: Thanks, Pseu!
	2:59pm listener 126464: Thanks Pseu, thanks Michele.

	12:05pm Chop Scott: Hello Pseu!
	12:07pm mariano: Pseu Pseu Pseudio! Greetings, all!
	12:07pm West Trenton Vinnie: WooHoo!!!
	12:08pm patrick321: Hey hey hey! Pseu on the radio!
	12:11pm ami ad: /hello
	12:16pm Woo: Hi to Pseu and everybody
	12:16pm Bill in W.O.: Hey Pseu! New High Water Marks, who knew? Pseu knew. Good knews, erm, news.
	12:18pm Doobois: Yesh! New TSM! Thanksh, Pseu!
	12:18pm Pseu Braun: Heyz All - yep new HWM, TSM, Posies
	12:21pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: I’ve heard this song on WFMU quite a few times this year. It’s always been my favorite U2 tune :-)
	12:22pm PJ: I think this the first time I have heard U2 on FMU. I had forgotten about this b-side - it’s really good.
	12:22pm mrdonutsu: So much Eno on this.
	12:24pm Pseu Braun: I've played it a handful of times over 20 years, not reflected in the search engine here, though
	12:25pm Niall: This is pretty. Like a... Mumford and Sons I'd want to listen to. Or an Avett Brothers I'm not tired of. Though that chorus is pure vintage AOR gold.
	12:26pm Niall: Honestly, I could listen to the theme song for an hour. I could listen to the theme song read the phone book. Is that the Cobra Verde guy?
	12:29pm Mister Dobalina: You & I time, is the best time!
	12:29pm KlausVonB: Thank you for making Thursday afternoons groovy
	12:31pm mb: Pseu Pseu Lets get it on, peoples!
	12:33pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Those early Lindley records are packed with fun.
	12:33pm Ike: KITTY!!!
	12:35pm efd: I see two plays of that U2 song on "Thing With A Hook," including today. You included "the" in the title today, but not when you played it a few years ago, and there's also a non-Hook spin where it's listed as "3 sunrises" instead of "three" spelled out like the other two times. (Me. I am the playlist nerd who cares.)
	12:35pm steveo: sounding good, Pseu; hello everyone
	12:35pm efd: man, I almost put myself to sleep reading my own comment just now.
	12:36pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd Who needs swank AI/database query software when efd is on the case?!
	12:37pm Pseu Braun: Hey Evan, too funny!
	12:37pm KlausVonB: Every Van Duren track you've played has been super tasty. Looks like I need to pluck out some dinero for it soon.
	12:38pm steveo: i for one, am invigorated by search tool nerdouts
	12:39pm rich from Red Hook: Couldn't agree w Neill more. Can we hear the theme song again. I missed the start of the show
	12:41pm Krys O.: Love the Grass Roots, especially Creed. Rrrawr.....
	12:49pm Four Seasons Grain & Seed: Ooo. Love this Rainy Day Saints.
	12:54pm Mister Dobalina: These tunes are making the monotonous task of listing things on Ebay, a bit more tolerable.
	12:59pm eastvanhalen: Ahahahah Pseu, I feel slightly less terrible about the wreck my place is right now
	12:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Just arrived in time for mention of eyeball holes. It's a Very Good Day.
	12:59pm karlward: Essential New Jersey
	12:59pm Mister Dobalina: Pseu's thing with a tan.
	1:01pm p/b: I'm stuffing old t-shirt facemasks in my shitty window frames now that November demands coming inside so hearing you with your paper window blinds
	1:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Pseu and all. One more week to hook a turkey.
	1:02pm Listener Robert: I remember when your "theme song" consisted of a death-metal type voice saying, overlaid on itself, "Pseu Braun, Pseu Braun," etc.
	1:02pm Michele with One "L": You are right! I'm eating an apple and a pepper.
	1:03pm mb: Shout outs to DJ 1L!!
	1:03pm Woo: Health is your only true wealth.
	1:03pm Listener Robert: It had some sound effect too I can't recall.
	1:03pm Mister Dobalina: I know that Matt W., likes donuts and pizza.
	1:03pm Michele with One "L": Loved that last set Pseu!
	1:04pm Fletchernyc: Hi Pseu!! Also “no comment”
	1:05pm eastvanhalen: eeeeeeeeee you're playing my best friend's band
	1:05pm Pseu Braun: @Listener Robert - OH YEAH I forgot! Ed Shepp did my theme song for quite a while! DJ Mr. Finewine used to taunt me with lyrics
	1:06pm Andrew_in_WI: Michele is womaning the boards today
	1:06pm eastvanhalen: Thanks Pseu!
	1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Skel with one "L."
	1:10pm Krys O.: THANKS for the Q!
	1:11pm Woo: Love the Q especially this song
	1:11pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): NRBQ!!! These guys have always been in the "deserving wider recognition" column for me.
	1:11pm Krys O.: Got a soft spot in my heart for Big Al songs.
	1:13pm Mister Dobalina: Some cool things for sale on FMU's ebay page...check it out.
	1:15pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Me too. Great group that NRBQ. Saw them many years ago in NYC with Skeeter Davis.
	1:15pm Brisbane: Reminds me of that tune "Minivan"
	1:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SKEETER!
	1:18pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hi Pseu. Great show today. Thank you.
	1:18pm Krys O.: Saw NRBQ at Club Bene.
	1:18pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): How does a person find the WFMU ebay page?
	1:18pm geoff mcq: fuck yeah! never EVER heard this Adem song on the radio ever. Fuck yeah Pseu!
	1:19pm Krys O.: Addendum: Was part of the WFMU contingent at the Q show.
	1:21pm Pseu Braun: happy to accommodate the "fuck yeah Pseu!" contig
	1:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw NRBQ at The State Theater in Portland, Maine. This was in the Spampinato era.
	1:22pm Woo: Saw the Q with John Sebastian years ago. It was a good one.
	1:22pm geoff mcq: go on yersel!
	1:23pm Niall: Oh, I like this one, too.
	1:23pm Niall: @Krys O.: Where should one start with NRBQ? I've been curious, but... daunted.
	1:24pm Pseu Braun: Bob Brainen is king of the Q. He's back on the air, too!
	1:25pm Niall: Actually all y'all who appear to be fans of NRBQ - a "start here" nudge would be gratefully received.
	1:26pm Niall: I have this mental image of... Little Feat meets Black Oak Arkansas. I have no idea why!
	1:26pm Mister Dobalina: Here is FMU's ebay page, it's on the main page as well. ebay.to...
	1:26pm Krys O.: @Niall: At Yankee Stadium, Tapdancin' Bats, and Grooves in Orbit are mighty fine.
	1:26pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Niall I started with Tiddly Winks. At Yankee Stadium is great too.
	1:28pm captain beef fart: live @ yankee stadium was my foray
	1:29pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	1:29pm Krys O.: Message for the Mess Age is the last one with Big Al.
	1:30pm Joe B: show sounding great Pseu
	1:31pm Krys O.: Peek-a-Boo: The Best of NRBQ is good too.
	1:32pm Fletchernyc: I’m out
	1:32pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I like mine with marmite.
	1:33pm Peter from Dover NJ: Plain English muffins, please. And yes, I'd use the same knife for both butter and cream cheese.
	1:33pm eastvanhalen: Same knife for butter and cream cheese is acceptable. Same knife for butter and jam is not.
	1:33pm Krys O.: There's a tradition here at the office for the birthday celebrant to bring in bagels for everyone. We have consistently used separate knives for the various spreads.
	1:34pm Listener Robert: I'll use the same knife for cream cheese and jelly. I just don't put butter and cream cheese on the same item. My housemate Fin (formerly known as Bob) would, however.
	1:34pm Bob in DC: Peanut butter all day. One knife always
	1:34pm Deborah: Lunch break from teaching marathon. Vegetable soup and English muffin with Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. And get to listen for a minute....
	1:35pm Bob in DC: Preach
	1:35pm Krys O.: I make PBnJ sandwiches for lunches at work. I use a knife for the PB and a spoon for the apricot preserves. I'm definitely Team OCD.
	1:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Seriously. Utensils don't live forever, people. I support this.
	1:37pm Beast of Boonton: It's OK to re-use paper plates too
	1:37pm Krys O.: Brainen was with us at the Club Bene show.
	1:37pm phat: I can't tell you how much I enjoy NRBQ and Bob Brainen
	1:37pm Peter from Dover NJ: @WoodsofNH I LOVE Marmite.
	1:38pm Bill in W.O.: Re-use of a knife is fine, up to the individual, de gustibus. BUT, leaving traces of a food in a(ny) container of another one is just eww. YMMV but a line must be drawn.
	1:38pm Niall: @Krys O., @WoodsofNH (now Maine) and deffo @Pseu Braun - thank you! Plenty to sink my teeth into, looks like!
	1:38pm Deborah: What is in Marmite? Sounds dreadful. Sorry.
	1:39pm Niall: Word up to Marmite.
	1:40pm Krys O.: Yeast, Deborah.
	1:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: I've made PBJs on leftover hamburger buns, rather than toss them out. I hate wasting food.
	1:41pm Niall: While we're crowd-sourcing, any Philadelphia-smart people here? I had a Philly visitor here in Ireland recently and she was smitten with the white bread we have here - super-fresh, super-soft, fantastic for sandwiches. Sorta like the famous Japanese white bread. Anyone in Philly making loaves like that I could have sent to her?
	1:41pm Niall: Ooo, Lustmørd!
	1:43pm Niall: Bread like this: brennansbread.ie... I get this isn't the best case for recs, but y'all are so much nicer and have better taste than... Facebook or Yelp.
	1:44pm KlausVonB: thanks for Owsley!!!
	1:44pm Niall: Haha, "thank you for tuning into 'Prescriptivist Linguistics Radio Hour on WFMU.'"
	1:45pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Peter from Dover NJ: It's not for everyone, obviously.
	1:46pm phat: I hate "so," too. Just had a conversation with someone else about that. I did, however, start a Twitter thread with it yesterday.
	1:47pm Pseu Braun: ah, yes @KlausVonB - @phat add it to your resolutions for 2021
	1:47pm phat: It's been a pet peeve of mine for years. I blame NPR.
	1:48pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: I am with you on "right?". As far as I can tell it is used a lot by the US technocratic elite; business schools, law, academia, and anywhere smart people are making an argument and want to signify that their point is obvious on the face of it, and you should not even have the temerity to dissent!
	1:49pm Niall: Phat: I blame "Beowulf," but that may be Seamus Heaney's fault. ;)
	1:50pm Woo: Talking is just hard.
	1:50pm Deborah: As an academic, I slip sometime but find doing due diligence and any form of the verb to grapple are much much worse offenders. Crap! Almost time to teach again.
	1:51pm Conan the Grammarian: I feel the same way about not capitalizing the first words in sentences and not ending them with periods. À chacun son goût...
	1:52pm Niall: Crom is not pleased.
	1:52pm Pseu Braun: Used to work in the ivy league. I would fkng RECOIL when the stuttering higher-ups would use the crucifixion nails to apply "right?" to merit their points
	1:53pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all. Sorry I'm a little late on the topic. Pretty much all in on utensil , cup and plate usability. I've even been known to eat over the sink to avoid particular messes. Butter/ Cream Cheese knife....Nahhh.
	1:54pm Niall: @pseu braun: "INRI: 'I No, Rite? Imean....'"
	1:54pm KevinfromBayRidge: "reusability" So?
	1:55pm Niall: Just mind your Irish audience, so.
	1:55pm Niall: "the deathray davies" is a hell of a band name.
	1:57pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I feel like the "SO, " thing started with NPR, but I don't listen to a lot of other newsy things. Heck, I don't even listen to NPR anymore.
	1:58pm Barkevious Shabazz: Vinyl Skyway. Top shelf!
	1:58pm Roberto: Oh yeah, I often wear the yellow Hook tee to my Zoom workouts, and one time my trainer said, what's that show called again? Pseu's Freshly Caught?
	1:59pm Krys O.: I never listened to NPR. My writing was chock full of the passive voice and I try to avoid that when I remember to do that.
	2:00pm Pseu Braun: pseu's freshly caught!
	2:00pm Deborah: @Pseu Braun No Ivy League but a damn good community college in Jersey City. Administrators are more likely to grapple. Faculty use the right? and it doesn't bother me. But grapple will make me want to puke. Sorry, not sorry.
	2:01pm Niall: @WoodsofNH (now Maine): Slate's "Lexicon Valley" podcast did at least two episodes about the phenomenon - first with Garfield and Vuolo (the V1 days) and some years later with John McWhorter (V2, currently). They're worth listening to, IIRC.
	2:01pm luka: oh my goodness, haven't heard this jay bennett in so long.
	2:01pm Bill in W.O.: RIP jb and wo
	2:02pm Fox: Wooop. Halloooo.
	2:03pm West Trenton Vinnie: my entire quarantine cuisine is based entirely on not creating dishes, therefore everything is wrapped in a tortilla
	2:04pm Joe B: alright!
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wow. Haven't heard this in forever.
	2:05pm Pseu Braun: hahaa Belock
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Niall Thanks, i'll have to check that out.
	2:07pm Woo: The answer is Yes
	2:07pm mndave: Loved the Juliana Hatfield version of this song
	2:07pm Pseu Braun: welcome new customers on the board - love it!
	2:07pm KlausVonB: I was busy making salad and crushing up turkey bacon to type and tell you I was in the kitchen, sorry for the delay and thank you for Olivia NJ!
	2:07pm Roberto: Yeah, it's hard to pick a favorite. Both ON-J and JH slay it.
	2:09pm WFMU listener John: Hello fellow listeners
	2:09pm chris_in_space: I don't know if it's been said, but worse than "So," at the beginning of sentences is "So" without the comma. For me, it gets worse—posting one word: "This." Stab me.
	2:10pm Joe B: Lehigh Valley represent!
	2:11pm chaos_in_LA_LA: Wow, I forgot how lovely and burned into my mind ‘a little more love’ is. Thanks Pseu!
	2:11pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Stumbled onto this last night: Jeff Kazee (Southside Johnny) is doing a live stream tonight from Daryl's Place. It's his Early Elton Trio and they're going to reproduce the 11-17-70 album. This is happening tonight. I think the link is on jeffkazee.com.
	2:14pm Pseu Braun: @WONHNM is this information we should thank you for? I'm not even sure what it means - Southside Johnny is doing Elton John songs in a trio?
	2:15pm Niall: @chris_in_space: Oh yeah, that got me right in the feels. <duck/> ;)
	2:16pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Pseu Kazee plays keys in the Jukes. He has this trio (I think the Jukes bass player is in it) that specializes in Elton music from that era. I've never heard them, though he has described it as "not a cover band." So I'm sort of intrigued.
	2:16pm iiibeat: Digging . . In the sand . . No . . Digging this show! Wrote this for a photo of a woman winking from a pile of leaves plus an invisible poem . . All in All . . They fall . . Each and every . . Three plus two . . All in All . . Tree plus too . . Now and again but different again . . Now space in space . . Spring flowers flow from your face . . Racing to the dead of Winter each . . Apiece . . Cannot cease.
	2:18pm Pseu Braun: ah, the poetry of the listeners. appreciated and doesn't happen often.
	2:18pm Fox: The domain I wanted to buy got bought hours after I searched for it. AGAIN. jfc.
	2:19pm Krys O.: Perfect segue!
	2:21pm Krys O.: Speaking of annoyances and speaking, I talk to myself and this happens more and more as I age and fully isolated. I'm quite sure that my co-workers have chalked that up to my being just a weirdo.
	2:22pm Alvy Singer: Ray singing about losing touch with his family
	2:22pm Tome: Hey Pseu !<>! glad you're here and everyone else too !<>!
	2:23pm Mike Sin: The Kinks' entire output on Reprise has only grown in stature during the decades. This LP and "Arthur" are well respected (men) now.
	2:23pm chris_in_space: @Krys O. you still have co-workers? Like, in-person co-workers? What a luxury.
	2:24pm chris_in_space: @Mike Sin: couldn't agree more re: Kinks.
	2:25pm mb: I was forced to walk out of an NRBQ show at the Bowery Ballroom in 2012(?) We went for the opener but the most vocal person in the "crew" was actually offended by them. lol. He demanded our money back and got it! I was and still am miffed about that. Miss that place big time. That being said is there a place on the intertrons that one could find a comprehensive list of past shows at venues in NYC? Would love to re-live some shows as my ticket stub collection is incomplete once they stopped issuing paper tickets for shows. tia
	2:25pm βrian: @Krys O: Friends teased me about that in high school. I remember thinking, "Who doesn't talk to themselves??"
	2:27pm chris_in_space: Great Stampeders Can-Con!
	2:27pm Threemoons: Greetings Pseu, fellow Hookers...
	2:28pm WFMU listener John: @Brian sometimes you have good answers
	2:30pm listener 126464: macaroons!
	2:30pm otto: I LOVE SWEET CITY WOMAN!!!!!
	2:30pm Krys O.: @chris_in_space: Yes, I have co-workers. It's a small company and we are spread out. As a printing company, we are considered an essential business.
	2:30pm βrian: It's also a good way to vet your seemingly reasonable thoughts.
	2:31pm Krys O.: @mb: Was the person offended by NRBQ or the opening band?
	2:32pm otto: gestures the Double Twisted Longhorn fingerstyle-action
	2:32pm Krys O.: Also, @mb: Setlist.fm is helpful. www.setlist.fm
	2:32pm dave wuz here: i skeeve cat food stink
	2:32pm slocker: I love the smell of my cat's breath.
	2:33pm iiibeat: If you are ever being chased by . . A BEAR . . Run downhill! Their heads are too heavy and they will tumble down . . Lost it.
	2:33pm Krys O.: @Brian: I am usually giving myself instructions as I multi-task which is whole other can o' worms.
	2:34pm WFMU listener john: @Pseu olivia newton john is one of my favorite singers
	2:35pm βrian: Then there's always the question of which of those internal speakers to give voice to.
	2:35pm WFMU listener john: @Krys O do you ever answer your self
	2:35pm Krys O.: @listener john: Yes and often.
	2:35pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The Bouffant-Encrusted Thought Police?
	2:36pm iiibeat: It is trying to turn you into a cat!! Don't let it!!!
	2:36pm Spankyflop: Is that the same Alex Winter from Bill & Ted?
	2:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: @John - Julie's show (Tuesday afternoons 3 - 7 PM, currently) on the Drummer stream often features some ONJ selections.
	2:37pm WFMU listener john: @Krys O i had a boss who asked me if i was nuts:)
	2:37pm ami ad: a former boss told me it's only a problem if you start to argue with yourself.
	2:38pm WFMU listener john: @KFHP thanks will giver her a listen
	2:38pm KlausVonB: Same Alex Winter (Frank Zappa doc)
	2:38pm Syl: Pseu, is your cat Naboo named after the Mighty Boosh character? I love him!
	2:41pm Pseu Braun: @Syl xactly! he's made of magic
	2:41pm Krys O.: @Spankyflop: Alex Winter has been working for a long time on this doc. It was held up due to the litigious Zappa trust. :(
	2:42pm dave wuz here: did you get him from the nabootique?
	2:42pm Syl: @Pseu I love it! Perfect name for a magicat
	2:43pm Susan: The undoing is kind of trashy junk tv that will get its claws in you after 10 minutes. Please play some Unicorns 🦄 probably heard them here a decade or more ago
	2:44pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: I had a boss who talked to herself and would say "These people, I can't believe it!" and "I can't believe these people!" which became catchphrases for us on her team.
	2:47pm mb: @Krys: NRBQ offended him. I don't think he was expecting the sight of upbeat Normal Joes enjoying themselves on stage. I'm pretty sure it was the Charlie Hunter Trio or the Benevento/Russo duo that opened. THanks!!
	2:48pm Krys O.: Ah, I see, mb.
	2:48pm mariano: Krys O: I have full conversations with myself, and I've reached the age where I don't care, though it is kind of embarrassing if I happen to be doing it in public and someone walks by. It seems like each time though, there's a glimmer or recognition and understanding from them.
	2:49pm Mister Dobalina: Great show, Pseu-Pseu-PseuDio!
	2:49pm mariano: Spankyflop: Alex Winter was also one of the Lost Boys!
	2:52pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Pseu 🌟 :-)) !!
	2:53pm Krys O.: Howard Kaylan used to share Alex Winter's Kickstarter for the doc. Howard also lamented the initial interference of the Zappa trust. Glad to see it was all sorted out. BTW-I'm Team Dweezil.
	2:56pm Chop Scott: Thanks Pseu!
	2:56pm slugluv1313: great show, Pseu! (been listening while working/lurking) thanks so much!
	2:57pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew.
	2:57pm Krys O.: My how the time flies by so swiftly! Thank you, Pseu and the Hooker-types.
	2:57pm Pseu Braun: THANKS LISTENERS! PEACE
	2:58pm Bill in W.O.: Thanks, Pseu!
	2:59pm listener 126464: Thanks Pseu, thanks Michele.
