	9:09am sphere: hello fellow Allenites.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09am karlward: Pretty sure very Friday morning starts with JA calling the station at 8:59 from a heliport in Brooklyn, telling Clay to cue up "Wake Up," and then a helicopter ride to the roof of WFMU, where JA is descending from a rope ladder literally right now to take over the station controls.
	9:10am LukeL: Ya know what karl that sounds pretty realistic actually
	🎸 ♥ 9:11am karlward: I have heard reports of falling vinyl copies of "Wake Up" occasionally hitting pedestrians in Lower Manhattan. I suspect these reports are related.
	9:12am LukeL: LOL. Btw what's this song sampling?

	♥ 9:15am steveo: play a cart!
	♥ 9:15am Rob (Jerzcity): hijinks?

	9:20am John Allen: hey man, not my problem. someone left their spotify account open. good morning!
	9:24am V Priceless: Yay! Damned! Hey John, peeps!

	9:29am convoy_pt2: Wow havent heard this song in a long time ☠️☠️black market baby!!!
	♥ 9:30am TomDash: JAZZ is cool and all, but I'm really digging the rock this morning!
	♥ 9:30am Rev. Turnip Druid: Just got here and WHOA. Everything after Rolnick has been my record collection outta high school. Bonus points for th'BM Baby.
	9:30am John from Florham Park: Morning fellow listeners
	♥ 9:31am steveo: oh, hi John, sounding good; happy friday
	9:32am John from Florham Park: Hello stevo
	♥ 9:32am Aaron Working In Newark: Nice set so far. Just what the dr ordered.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33am karlward: Am I the only one who heard an insane cut up of the last half hour of Clay's show on the radiorethink stream just now? It was grabbing random 5 second chunks of the last half hour and playing them out of order. I reloaded the radiorethink window and it works fine now. Like I said I thought Olivia was glitching the stream or something.
	9:33am Listener Robert: I commented on Irwin's show about the evidence from the Summer 1986 LCD that DJs were hard to get -- 4 & 5 hour shows, DJs taking 2 SCHEDULED shows a week, a bit of listener art consisting of a note calling for help because needing someone to sub for them.
	♥ 9:33am steveo: hello, other John :)
	9:37am John from Florham Park: @Karlward never heard of radiorethink
	♥ 9:38am Rob (Jerzcity): Maj. Disclaimer!
	♥ 9:42am steveo: ugh that's no fun, sending a bucket of bears
	♥ 9:43am Dave: That happened to me last year, you need an antihistamine. Being deaf in one ear is horrible.
	9:45am Andy the painter: enjoyed the rocking first set! (at least my half) good luck with the stuff in yer head, john. drywall dust?
	9:47am Doobois: Feel better soon, JA. And thank you for your service.
	♥ 9:47am Haiku Henry: John Allen, I hear you're in a punk mood today. Check out Surfbort. Punk rock at it's finest.
	♥ 9:53am Rob (Jerzcity): @HH - unfortunately they're raising the question of how punk is it to be sponsored by Gucci. Surfbort and Amyl and the Sniffers.
	♥ 9:56am crateslinger: Anybody know what's going on in Brooklyn/Queens? On my way in I passed literally 9 million fire trucks headed south through Williamsburg and Long Island City.
	9:57am Mike tp: getting potted with Potter.....JA very nice..
	♥ 9:57am crateslinger: I supposed I could put on NPR or 1010 WINS, but wait a minute, nah...
	🎸 ♥ 9:57am Beast of Boonton: John Allen - Have a shot of Dr. Dewars
	♥ 9:58am crateslinger: Sorry I missed the punk, but oddly I don't miss punk...
	9:58am Andy the painter: @listener robert i picked up a couple old LCD’s at the record fair. from 86/87, from before i started listening in 91. pretty fascinating, at least for this fmu head. (the letter from the anonymous listener complaining how the “real wfmu” is gone, and SMK’s response?)
	9:58am Listener Robert: I do that H2O2-in-the-ears sideways on the pillow too. Hate when I can't tell whether muffled hearing is an outer or middle ear problem, but usually I have wax regardless.
	♥ 9:59am Ike: Dead air?
	♥ 9:59am crateslinger: all a sudden I hear nothing on the stream for a minute or two.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59am Booz: Love hearing about the old LCDs
	♥ 9:59am Ike: Oh it's just very low and hummy and Bryce-tastic.
	♥ 10:00am crateslinger: maybe it's got something to do with the firetrucks and helicopters over lower manhattan... shit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00am Booz: This air is the deadest.
	10:01am sphere: ah there we go
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Booz: Correction, undead air.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Deadly Air
	10:02am Listener Robert: Andy, many of us must've heard about WFMU the same way I did in 1980, and listened only at night to the likes of Frank O'Toole, Pat Duncan, Paul Cavanaugh (and Morbid) and Jim Price, and got a mistaken impression of WFMU, thinking it was all punk, not realizing that's just how things lined up temporarily for us. That letter writer apparently thought the rest of WFMU's programming was some new departure. He was a little snotty, Ken was a little snotty back.
	10:03am Flowbarian: HEY You will hate this: but take a ton of goldenseal extract and orange peel zest and clove - it will clear you out poor baby.
	10:04am John Allen: i'll get on that, thanks Flow
	♥ 10:07am Haiku Henry: @Rob (Jerzcity) - Makes me think of when Rollins did the Calvin Klein ad. Maybe it makes them more punk? or not? Still love both Surfbort and Rollins. Amyl and the Sniffers are great too.
	10:10am Mister Dobalina: Perfect composition for a perfect Friday.
	10:10am Andy the painter: robert: yeah, i figured that exchange was along those lines. very interesting for me to get a peek into an institution i love before my time.
	10:11am Andy the painter: into a period before my time.
	♥ 10:13am Ike: I haven't had nearly as much trouble since I started eating local honey but my allergies and sinus problems already come and go randomly anyway, so maybe the local honey is just tasty and actually has no woo-woo curative home-remedy effects at all. I have no idea. I really need several clones of myself so I can do experiments on them. Some of them get local honey, some of them get goldenseal and valerian root or dandelion extracts or whatever nasty thing is the current fad, some get expensive kombucha, some of them just get thwacked with wet noodles.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Krys O.: Listener Robert, I was on the air from 1985-1991 and on some schedules I had two shows a week. One week, I also did three fill-ins. Five shows in one week! But our reception was only within a 50 mile radius, so it was for naught.
	10:14am Listener Robert: And the funny thing is, I might have already had that LCD in the moldy papers in the garage, don't remember if I was getting it that far back, got this copy recently from a friend who also subscribed. But back then I didn't listen to as MANY programs as now, and at the time of that issue I'd just moved into a shadow zone that made WFMU only an occasional treat for a while.
	10:15am Zetti: For the ear... the Mullein plant Verbascum Thapsus. Mullein ear oil extract.
	10:16am Listener Robert: And not archived either, Krys, except for whatever cassettes you might've made and kept yourself or that listeners made off air.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Krys O.: There is some wild mullein growing near my office in Roseland.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Barney Grubbs: I suspect these things work differently for everybody, but combo of allegra and morning/evening saline nose spray has been working okay this year (subbed in the saline this year for azelastine spray and seems to working). But for clogged ear stuff I give in & take a pseudoephedrine.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Krys O.: Listener Robert, I used to tape my show each week, but only a few survived due to theft or attrition. The Subgenius rants that I did are still preserved in the archives.
	10:19am Zetti: Yep, Mullein is a common vanguard weed. The leaves are super soft and was used as toilet paper back in the day. The plant is also known as cowboy toilet paper.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Krys O.: Good to know, Zetti. Useful info for the zombie apocalypse.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am The Oscar: Mornin' all! I was actually just having hellish ear problems as well this past week. Wound up just blasting it all out with an ear syringe full of warm water. It was... productive. Anyway, I can hear again!
	10:21am Listener Robert: Krys, YOU did the Subgenius? I'd assumed those came from Ivan Stang. I listened to some of those in the 1980s, only I wasn't sure it was on WFMU rather than another station.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am Booz: RIP Dominique Lawalree
	10:32am Mike tp: wow I have LCD from eighties catalogs of curioities N synthetic pleasure newsletters.enjoying since 1981. I've been much better for it
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am Krys O.: Listener Robert, I featured a half hour of tapes from Stang, but I wrote rants to introduce each feature.
	10:35am passiflora: those metal wares!
	♥ 10:39am crateslinger: @Krys O. - did you have anything to do with the UHF broadcasts of WFMU television in the early 90'z? Very subgeniusy.
	10:41am LukeL: hERE comes the train! :)
	10:46am ledzeppelinsucks: 工作在这里堆积得更高。如果计算机所有者错过了他们的约会，则推迟了这个项目。在网络故障期间我必须离开这里。 TSOL听起来很棒。
	10:50am Zetti: Did anyone else attend or remember the concert promoted by Richard of Synthetic Pleasure with Don Slepian and Emerald Web? OMG, that was an amazing show.
	10:51am Listener Robert: Krys, I do recall someone's talking before or after taped segments from Stang, but I don't recall whether I thought those fun or just annoying interruptions. But then, such is the work of a DJ, huh?
	10:52am Listener Robert: Zetti, both I and my friend, unknown to each other at the time, listened to Synthetic Pleasure, but I had another friend who was friendly with Don Slepian. I have the latter's Music Through The Ages calling card.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am Passaic River Blues: This is pretty incredible.
	10:57am Listener Robert: Then again my friend, Greg who recently gave me that old LCD, had mixed up Synthetic Pleasure with Vin Scelsa's program, so I'm not really sure what he listened to. We each have a lot of trouble with names, and the intervening decades don't help with memory.
	♥ 10:58am ɨkɛ: To be more specific, I've been getting the Highland Valley Apiaries honey at Trader Joe's. Like I said, no idea if it's actually got any woo-woo magic in it or my lack of allergy problems lately is a coincidence, but it's really goddamn delicious.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Krys O.: 1. No, I had nothing to do with the UHF broadcasts. 2. I wasn't the only one who featured the Subgenius tapes. Here is a link to my archives to judge for yourself again. wfmu.org...
	10:59am Zetti: @Listenr Robert, I'm pretty sure Slepian lives in the Poconos and continues to make music.
	♥ 11:03am ɛɨk: Pseudoephedrine used to work well for me, but I seem to have gotten acclimated to it now. Either that or the Man neutered its powers so that bikers can't make meth out of it anymore.
	♥ 11:10am steveo: i've been taking capsules stuffed with live bees; does wonders
	♥ 11:12am destructo: An old roommate told me his uncle or something had his sinuses cauterized. Very rarely had any sinus problems but when he did, the stuff just came pouring right out because they were basically just smooth tubes, like those windy drinking straws.
	11:12am John Allen: Steveo, looking at the backend of the comments board, you are the 100th comment today! To celebrate, I will go with that suggestion and eventually block you from ever commenting again
	♥ 11:14am ɛɨkɛɨ: @steveo, ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL
	♥ 11:15am steveo: i'm sure i deserve nothing less, JA; nice set
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am Passaic River Blues: Nice, the "Ashes and Diamonds" guy!
	♥ 11:16am tim from champaign: Hi everybody! This is Professor Griff?
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am Krys O.: Zbigniew Cybulski was the James Dean of Poland. I would free the bees from their capsule. My dad had one nostril cauterized because of frequent epistaxis which I also suffer from. I had my throat cauterized when I was a kid due to frequent sore throats. Having a needle stuck in the back of my throat hurt like a mofo.
	11:23am Listener Robert: Thanks, Krys, maybe I'll relive those nights. I won't complain if it turns out I want to skip your intros, because even with your favorite DJ, aren't there SOME times you shout back at the radio, just get one with it? OTOH, I might prefer to listen to ONLY your intros, better than the part from Stang, in which case I'll tell you. Thanks for the tip, Zetti. I think Don Slepian was then a Jerseyite and my friend Ed's interaction with him was over interests other than music. I think I tried to phone him once on a long shot he'd be interested commercially in a completely other thing of mine.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am Krys O.: Lori Paisley, Don Slepian and Yanni were in heavy rotation on Richard Ginsburg's show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Booz: Yanni has deeper roots in FMU than I thought.
	♥ 11:38am blee: Really digging the show today. JA on a Friday is the best.
	♥ 11:38am zopa: I used to work for a Cybulski. This one: infocus.nlm.nih.gov...
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: damned damned chicken
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: gimme ranger
	11:51am cuteCloud: pretty sure this is where i live
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: eggsistentially
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Booz: TIL that "Verticle" is not a typo and that 12" goes for $50-$80
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Krys O.: Thanks, JA!
	11:55am Chi Bill: I believe more people would enjoy chicken skin planet than commercials, hype and stale music than currently do, if only they knew WFMU.
	11:56am sphere: thanks Mr. Allen. Good healing vibes to you.
	♥ 11:56am steveo: thanks JA. very good music today; hope your ear clears asap
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Booz: thx JA, enjoy yr symptom
	🎸 ♥ 12:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, JA. Enjoy your chopper ride back to Brooklyn.
	12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ENJOY YR SYMPTOM
	12:04pm Zetti: Thanks!

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	10:01am sphere: ah there we go
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Booz: Correction, undead air.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Deadly Air
	10:02am Listener Robert: Andy, many of us must've heard about WFMU the same way I did in 1980, and listened only at night to the likes of Frank O'Toole, Pat Duncan, Paul Cavanaugh (and Morbid) and Jim Price, and got a mistaken impression of WFMU, thinking it was all punk, not realizing that's just how things lined up temporarily for us. That letter writer apparently thought the rest of WFMU's programming was some new departure. He was a little snotty, Ken was a little snotty back.
	10:03am Flowbarian: HEY You will hate this: but take a ton of goldenseal extract and orange peel zest and clove - it will clear you out poor baby.
	10:04am John Allen: i'll get on that, thanks Flow
	♥ 10:07am Haiku Henry: @Rob (Jerzcity) - Makes me think of when Rollins did the Calvin Klein ad. Maybe it makes them more punk? or not? Still love both Surfbort and Rollins. Amyl and the Sniffers are great too.
	10:10am Mister Dobalina: Perfect composition for a perfect Friday.
	10:10am Andy the painter: robert: yeah, i figured that exchange was along those lines. very interesting for me to get a peek into an institution i love before my time.
	10:11am Andy the painter: into a period before my time.
	♥ 10:13am Ike: I haven't had nearly as much trouble since I started eating local honey but my allergies and sinus problems already come and go randomly anyway, so maybe the local honey is just tasty and actually has no woo-woo curative home-remedy effects at all. I have no idea. I really need several clones of myself so I can do experiments on them. Some of them get local honey, some of them get goldenseal and valerian root or dandelion extracts or whatever nasty thing is the current fad, some get expensive kombucha, some of them just get thwacked with wet noodles.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14am Krys O.: Listener Robert, I was on the air from 1985-1991 and on some schedules I had two shows a week. One week, I also did three fill-ins. Five shows in one week! But our reception was only within a 50 mile radius, so it was for naught.
	10:14am Listener Robert: And the funny thing is, I might have already had that LCD in the moldy papers in the garage, don't remember if I was getting it that far back, got this copy recently from a friend who also subscribed. But back then I didn't listen to as MANY programs as now, and at the time of that issue I'd just moved into a shadow zone that made WFMU only an occasional treat for a while.
	10:15am Zetti: For the ear... the Mullein plant Verbascum Thapsus. Mullein ear oil extract.
	10:16am Listener Robert: And not archived either, Krys, except for whatever cassettes you might've made and kept yourself or that listeners made off air.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16am Krys O.: There is some wild mullein growing near my office in Roseland.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Barney Grubbs: I suspect these things work differently for everybody, but combo of allegra and morning/evening saline nose spray has been working okay this year (subbed in the saline this year for azelastine spray and seems to working). But for clogged ear stuff I give in & take a pseudoephedrine.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17am Krys O.: Listener Robert, I used to tape my show each week, but only a few survived due to theft or attrition. The Subgenius rants that I did are still preserved in the archives.
	10:19am Zetti: Yep, Mullein is a common vanguard weed. The leaves are super soft and was used as toilet paper back in the day. The plant is also known as cowboy toilet paper.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am Krys O.: Good to know, Zetti. Useful info for the zombie apocalypse.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20am The Oscar: Mornin' all! I was actually just having hellish ear problems as well this past week. Wound up just blasting it all out with an ear syringe full of warm water. It was... productive. Anyway, I can hear again!
	10:21am Listener Robert: Krys, YOU did the Subgenius? I'd assumed those came from Ivan Stang. I listened to some of those in the 1980s, only I wasn't sure it was on WFMU rather than another station.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am Booz: RIP Dominique Lawalree
	10:32am Mike tp: wow I have LCD from eighties catalogs of curioities N synthetic pleasure newsletters.enjoying since 1981. I've been much better for it
	🎸 ♥ 10:34am Krys O.: Listener Robert, I featured a half hour of tapes from Stang, but I wrote rants to introduce each feature.
	10:35am passiflora: those metal wares!
	♥ 10:39am crateslinger: @Krys O. - did you have anything to do with the UHF broadcasts of WFMU television in the early 90'z? Very subgeniusy.
	10:41am LukeL: hERE comes the train! :)
	10:46am ledzeppelinsucks: 工作在这里堆积得更高。如果计算机所有者错过了他们的约会，则推迟了这个项目。在网络故障期间我必须离开这里。 TSOL听起来很棒。
	10:50am Zetti: Did anyone else attend or remember the concert promoted by Richard of Synthetic Pleasure with Don Slepian and Emerald Web? OMG, that was an amazing show.
	10:51am Listener Robert: Krys, I do recall someone's talking before or after taped segments from Stang, but I don't recall whether I thought those fun or just annoying interruptions. But then, such is the work of a DJ, huh?
	10:52am Listener Robert: Zetti, both I and my friend, unknown to each other at the time, listened to Synthetic Pleasure, but I had another friend who was friendly with Don Slepian. I have the latter's Music Through The Ages calling card.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57am Passaic River Blues: This is pretty incredible.
	10:57am Listener Robert: Then again my friend, Greg who recently gave me that old LCD, had mixed up Synthetic Pleasure with Vin Scelsa's program, so I'm not really sure what he listened to. We each have a lot of trouble with names, and the intervening decades don't help with memory.
	♥ 10:58am ɨkɛ: To be more specific, I've been getting the Highland Valley Apiaries honey at Trader Joe's. Like I said, no idea if it's actually got any woo-woo magic in it or my lack of allergy problems lately is a coincidence, but it's really goddamn delicious.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59am Krys O.: 1. No, I had nothing to do with the UHF broadcasts. 2. I wasn't the only one who featured the Subgenius tapes. Here is a link to my archives to judge for yourself again. wfmu.org...
	10:59am Zetti: @Listenr Robert, I'm pretty sure Slepian lives in the Poconos and continues to make music.
	♥ 11:03am ɛɨk: Pseudoephedrine used to work well for me, but I seem to have gotten acclimated to it now. Either that or the Man neutered its powers so that bikers can't make meth out of it anymore.
	♥ 11:10am steveo: i've been taking capsules stuffed with live bees; does wonders
	♥ 11:12am destructo: An old roommate told me his uncle or something had his sinuses cauterized. Very rarely had any sinus problems but when he did, the stuff just came pouring right out because they were basically just smooth tubes, like those windy drinking straws.
	11:12am John Allen: Steveo, looking at the backend of the comments board, you are the 100th comment today! To celebrate, I will go with that suggestion and eventually block you from ever commenting again
	♥ 11:14am ɛɨkɛɨ: @steveo, ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL
	♥ 11:15am steveo: i'm sure i deserve nothing less, JA; nice set
	🎸 ♥ 11:15am Passaic River Blues: Nice, the "Ashes and Diamonds" guy!
	♥ 11:16am tim from champaign: Hi everybody! This is Professor Griff?
	🎸 ♥ 11:21am Krys O.: Zbigniew Cybulski was the James Dean of Poland. I would free the bees from their capsule. My dad had one nostril cauterized because of frequent epistaxis which I also suffer from. I had my throat cauterized when I was a kid due to frequent sore throats. Having a needle stuck in the back of my throat hurt like a mofo.
	11:23am Listener Robert: Thanks, Krys, maybe I'll relive those nights. I won't complain if it turns out I want to skip your intros, because even with your favorite DJ, aren't there SOME times you shout back at the radio, just get one with it? OTOH, I might prefer to listen to ONLY your intros, better than the part from Stang, in which case I'll tell you. Thanks for the tip, Zetti. I think Don Slepian was then a Jerseyite and my friend Ed's interaction with him was over interests other than music. I think I tried to phone him once on a long shot he'd be interested commercially in a completely other thing of mine.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25am Krys O.: Lori Paisley, Don Slepian and Yanni were in heavy rotation on Richard Ginsburg's show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:37am Booz: Yanni has deeper roots in FMU than I thought.
	♥ 11:38am blee: Really digging the show today. JA on a Friday is the best.
	♥ 11:38am zopa: I used to work for a Cybulski. This one: infocus.nlm.nih.gov...
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: damned damned chicken
	11:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: gimme ranger
	11:51am cuteCloud: pretty sure this is where i live
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: eggsistentially
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Booz: TIL that "Verticle" is not a typo and that 12" goes for $50-$80
	🎸 ♥ 11:54am Krys O.: Thanks, JA!
	11:55am Chi Bill: I believe more people would enjoy chicken skin planet than commercials, hype and stale music than currently do, if only they knew WFMU.
	11:56am sphere: thanks Mr. Allen. Good healing vibes to you.
	♥ 11:56am steveo: thanks JA. very good music today; hope your ear clears asap
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Booz: thx JA, enjoy yr symptom
	🎸 ♥ 12:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, JA. Enjoy your chopper ride back to Brooklyn.
	12:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ENJOY YR SYMPTOM
	12:04pm Zetti: Thanks!
