	12:07pm Cecile: Afternoon, Maria!
	12:11pm annie: still here, been setting up the new computer.. not even half finished..
	12:14pm james: Before Midnight, Cecile
	12:16pm recession wretch: Cecile, what would you say were the funniest songs of the decade about to conclude?
	12:18pm annie: hey, didn't we have the same discussion when the year turned to 2001?? the decade begins with 1, not zero?
	12:19pm recession wretch: but would that make, say, 1990 part of the eighties?
	12:21pm annie: uuuuhhh... ok, sure!
	12:22pm Dan: oh yeah deca means 10
	12:23pm Carmichael: So a deca cards would mean ten cards, right?
	12:24pm Cecile: Uh. Let me think. I liked Obie Trice's Got Some Teeth Flight of the Conchords Business Time and Ladies of the World Sweet and funny was Clare and the Reasons' song about Pluto
	12:27pm recession wretch: thanks, Cecile, for the thoughts! I'm partial to the Conchords' "I've Got Hurt Feelings" myself.
	12:28pm dc pat: nope, decade begins with 0. 2000 to 2009 = 10 years. We cleared this up on Joe's show.
	12:28pm Cecile: Sloan's Emergency 911 (it's such a good "shut up you damn kids!" song) Jonathan Coulton's Chiron Beta Prime Arj Barker's The Sickest Buddhist I like that as well. "Once again, they forgot about J." As well as Too Many D*cks on the Dancefloor...
	12:29pm annie: pat, does that just apply to music, then>> ? or is it a blanket decade.
	12:29pm recession wretch: yes! "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor" is fantastic!
	12:31pm Cecile: I'd put Stana by FoTC there, but they haven't recorded it properly yet., it's only been done life. Sickest Buddhist is just a vid, but it's properly produced.
	12:32pm Cecile: live, I mean I think Mika is pretty funny, but in small doses.
	12:33pm dc pat: computers are 0-based too. a list in most (all?) programming languages starts with 0. annie: I dunno! I don't make the rules. When Joe Belock says the decade starts with 0, I go with it!
	12:34pm maria: I think "01" is the completion of the first year, and '09" is the completion of the tenth, etc
	12:34pm dc pat: what are the most un-funny songs of the decade?
	12:35pm Poindexter: The problem with that, Maria, is that the savants who concocted the calendar did not think to include a Year 0. So the year before 1 A.D. was 1 B.C. If a decade runs from xxx0 to xxx9, then the first decade would only have had 9 years (1 A.D. - 9 A.D.). Which is to say, the first decade would not have been a decade. Proof by reductio ad absurdum. Hence all decades start in the year xxx1.
	12:35pm annie: i absolutely love circular discussions, they can get soo silly..
	12:36pm Cecile: Opeth. I love them, but they are dead serious. Even their frontman has to play in a goofy black-metal side band to cope. LOL! U2 were serious, but since their first album have been hilarious to me.
	12:36pm Poindexter: Are you calling my "0" circular? Well, you have a point. A decimal point, you might say.
	12:36pm recession wretch: anything by Shakira is unintentionally funny, therefore perhaps unfunny.
	12:38pm annie: poindexter, that O is more ovoid, dontcha think?
	12:38pm Poindexter: And another thing, I forgot to say "QED."
	12:38pm Cecile: OH, Korpliklaani are hiliarious and pretty deliberately so. They're a finnish folk-black-metal band that sounds like they're throwing a wild party on every song, and their flawed command of sung English only makes it better. I have no doubt IRL they speak English better than mee.
	12:43pm Steve: Cue Eydie?
	12:46pm dc pat: Poindexter: good point but does it really matter that the 1st century AD gets screwed out of a year?
	12:47pm Cecile: And Sentenced! Antoher Finnish metal band. They'd have these hilarious grumpy, suicidal lyrics set to these cheerful metal melodies. They were funny.
	12:48pm maria: But it isnt as though the year 1 ad was the beginning of time. SO even if thye didnt start with 0. there was a year 0 no? or did the folks who came up with the BC calendar forget to put a 0 in there? what do I know? And I gree with pat. aftert 2010 years, it kind of averages out to not mattering too much
	12:49pm dc pat: I mean, we have to add 1/3 of a day on to our calendar each year but we don't get to have that third of a day. That would be cool. Boss:"okay lunch time" Me: "fuck that, day's over, pal. see you later"
	12:51pm annie: and who says we have to number them anyway??? man-made problems.. and time, what about that? does it really exist?
	12:51pm dc pat: well I guess we do get to have leap day, never mind.
	12:52pm dc pat: that's my point, annie. We made this shit up anyway so why not just forget about year 0? or better yet, why not fix it all by moving everything back a year and installing year 0?
	12:53pm Cecile: hey, Maria, do you have any Bobby Hutcherson?
	12:54pm annie: what you said, pat!
	12:54pm still b/p: I was whistling part of Oldfield's Ommadawn last night in my kitchen. What happened to that LP -- did I lose it or sell it before I moved two-and-a-half decades ago?
	12:58pm PMD: Oh, my. my brain is too toasted to discuss the existence of time.
	1:01pm annie: on a diff subject, it looks like i will be going ahead with my plans to relocate to maine..
	1:03pm still b/p: Maria = anti-Krampus!
	1:04pm Cecile: really, annie? When?
	1:10pm still b/p: Ohh, the film images I was going to create and set to that M.O. track when I was 17. Thanks, Maria.
	1:11pm annie: i have a perspective ride towards the end of january..
	1:12pm annie: pro?
	1:14pm recession wretch: perhaps Annie can help vote out Susan Collins or Olympia Snowe in favor of someone who really gives a damn about health care reform.
	1:19pm ?: @ rw -- Ain't you seen the scary picture that keeps playin' up here? "Easy Incumbency of the Fifty-Foot Moderate Republican Women"
	1:19pm annie: not really sure if this is true, but i hear that maine is generally right-leaning...
	1:26pm recession wretch: haven't been to Maine in several years, alas--it's a beautiful state (with middle-of-the-road politicians and a Democratic gov).
	1:27pm Bob: Listening in Copenhagen. "Stainless Steel Gamelan" went well with the snow currently happening.
	2:08pm Cecile: very lovely, Maria.
	2:26pm thecleef: sounds like a mellow/dreamy Mallard
	2:30pm sophie: Maya Deren?
	2:44pm mikeC: yo maria, check out the Big Love Christmas album. Hits like 'Silient Wife'
	2:52pm Cecile: I really like the John Waters Christmas album. A great mix of silly, kitschy and really soulful. Good stuff. And the liner notes sound exactly like him speaking.
	2:56pm thecleef: Claude Vivier -esque moments...
	2:57pm BSI: ...i wish i was listening in Copenhagen.
