	♥ 10:10pm Franco Twinkie: Kris, Yuh,yuh, yooooou the one takin' care of business, uh huh!
	♥ 10:10pm Little Danny: absolutely archetypal Texas blues/R&B sound, that Little Junior Parker
	♥ 10:11pm Little Danny: Status update #2: no chicory coffee at Porter's Kris. Gonna have to order it online
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Kris Holmes: WTF Porter's has gone downhill :(
	♥ 10:13pm Matt from New Orleans: You can buy kaffir lime leaves in marfa?
	♥ 10:14pm Little Danny: That Darlene Paul was a new title to me too. Very nice.
	♥ 10:15pm Little Danny: I have to buy the Kaffir leaves online, alas. Galangal too. We grow the lemon grass tho! Only checked Marfa's Porter's, alas, Kris.
	♥ 10:16pm Little Danny: Huh, always figured Jr. Parker was based in Houston during that time
	♥ 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, I must warn you: Remaindred chocolate Easter bunnies might be a safer bet.
	♥ 10:18pm Little Danny: I'm a jaded black coffee drinker and I like weird tastes, though, Franco!
	♥ 10:18pm Little Danny: Happy to renew chicory talk for another ep of Kris's show either way
	🥁 ♥ 10:19pm Kris Holmes: he may have been based there but i believe he was more all over the place
	♥ 10:20pm Franco Twinkie: Chrestie went to visit a friend in Ojai so I get to turn on the oven and bake a pie!
	♥ 10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: Kris do you remember seeing TK?
	🥁 ♥ 10:21pm Kris Holmes: i don't exactly, i mean, i remember he played, but i don't remember seeing him
	♥ 10:22pm Little Danny: I'm sure you're right Kris, looking up an online bio now
	♥ 10:22pm Franco Twinkie: Que onda! Los Sunglows!
	♥ 10:22pm Matt from New Orleans: Fair enough. I remember he sang that song but not much else.
	♥ 10:23pm Little Danny: That crazy single man Franco at night
	🥁 ♥ 10:23pm Kris Holmes: i wouldn't stake money on me being right in this case Dan
	♥ 10:23pm Little Danny: Yeah that was great, that Sunglows
	♥ 10:24pm Matt from New Orleans: Btw Danny I went back and listened to the section of your show that only you were privy to. You exaggerated your haranguing.
	♥ 10:25pm coelacanth∅: greetings Kris and all
	♥ 10:26pm Little Danny: Thanks, and thanks Matt!
	♥ 10:26pm Matt from New Orleans: Hey C
	♥ 10:26pm Little Danny: Heya coel
	♥ 10:28pm coelacanth∅: hi Matt hi Danny!
	♥ 10:28pm Matt from New Orleans: We heard at most mere seconds of the velvet underground song which confused me when people were saying this song, that didn't sound like them to me, was the VU.
	♥ 10:29pm Franco Twinkie: Yo, Coel. My Compatriot scholar of the secret manuscripts.
	♥ 10:29pm Little Danny: Whoa this Gene Chandler!
	♥ 10:29pm Little Danny: I love a solid Impressions rip
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Kris Holmes: it's a beautiful recording, unfortunately my copy needs upgrading, but fortunately it's cheap & i'm just lazy :)
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Kris Holmes: written by Curtis btw
	♥ 10:30pm Little Danny: @Matt: starting this coming Thursday I'm trying out a new streaming client that I hope will solve some of last week's (and many weeks') network issues
	♥ 10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ll keep my fingers crossed
	♥ 10:35pm coelacanth∅: hey Franco! Matt that was confusing! (at least from the kitchen it was) i sought out that Masayuki Takayanagi new direction unit though and listened to the whole album!
	♥ 10:36pm Matt from New Orleans: Cool
	♥ 10:37pm Little Danny: One of my fave early-ish Marvin Gaye 45s. That mod groove
	♥ 10:37pm Matt from New Orleans: I like every version of this song I’ve heard
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Kris Holmes: the guitar part gets me
	♥ 10:38pm Little Danny: Didn't know anyone else did this
	♥ 10:40pm Little Danny: I do believe after years of listening to the stuff that Motown is my favorite soul & R&B label. Top talent + so many incredible arrangements
	♥ 10:41pm Matt from New Orleans: Maybe you’re right about that. I could have heard a different take. I can’t find any evidence online.
	♥ 10:42pm Franco Twinkie: My girl has gone....so now I get to turn off the air conditioner!
	♥ 10:43pm Matt from New Orleans: The Paul butterfield blues band covered it
	🥁 ♥ 10:43pm Kris Holmes: i just assumed because it's got writing credit of the whole Miracles
	♥ 10:44pm Matt from New Orleans: The artwoods covered it
	♥ 10:45pm Little Danny: Looks like UK singer Cliff Bennett did it too, haven't heard it
	♥ 10:46pm Little Danny: It definitely makes sense in the context of early '60s British R&B (with some mod scene crossover)
	♥ 10:46pm Matt from New Orleans: There’s a rockabilly version by Marvin rainwater
	♥ 10:47pm Little Danny: Talk about Motown tracks that were bigger in the UK. This Marvelettes is so good, especially at top volume. Just roaring production
	♥ 10:47pm coelacanth∅: Franco i just today turned on the ac for the first time this year. not that it was so hot, but hard rain (and for the next 4 days?) and 100% humidity. i wanted to use an electronic device that is old and i cannot afford to replace it so i had to take some of the water out of the air.
	♥ 10:47pm Little Danny: Talk about bangers! This Mary Wells
	♥ 10:48pm Matt from New Orleans: Then it had more covers in the mod revival era
	♥ 10:48pm Little Danny: Huh. This Mary Wells is a Chicago production
	♥ 10:49pm Little Danny: Great set mate
	♥ 10:50pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Rain for four days!?! Where the the hell do you live anyway?
	♥ 10:54pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks for the tutorial, Kris. Filed away.
	♥ 10:55pm Little Danny: Dude. Kris. Use the WFMU app
	♥ 10:56pm Little Danny: Yeah, expert analysis on that Marvin Gaye side. I'm gonna dig into the backstory
	♥ 10:56pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s what I was going to say Danny
	♥ 10:56pm coelacanth∅: 5 days, counting late yesterday. i thought i was in upstate ny but i think something's shifted and washington state has moved in.
	♥ 10:57pm Little Danny: Who's the guitarist on this Al Green? I dig the licks, recognize them from some Wille Mitchell sides too
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Kris Holmes: There's a WFMU app???!!!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm doctorjazz: Nice All! Hi!
	♥ 10:58pm Little Danny: Hey doc
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm doctorjazz: Hey, Danny!
	♥ 10:59pm Little Danny: It was like one of the first audio-enabled streaming apps on the market after the iPhone debuted. C'mon son
	♥ 11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: Probably teenie Hodges
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Kris Holmes: hahahaha, i suck at phoning
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm doctorjazz: I have the app, but always stream off the home page, seems to sound better to me.
	♥ 11:03pm Little Danny: That must be it, Matt, thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm doctorjazz: (But it could be in my head...)
	♥ 11:05pm coelacanth∅: the fmu application is only for "smartphones" right?
	♥ 11:06pm Little Danny: Never noticed a difference, doc, but I wouldn't necessarily recognize slight differences...
	♥ 11:07pm Little Danny: Yeah, coel, I think. Android or iOS but not like an older flipphone or Blackberry.
	♥ 11:08pm coelacanth∅: okay thanks Danny. it doesn't apply to me then!
	♥ 11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Ha,Coel. You a flipper too?
	♥ 11:12pm Matt from New Orleans: Howard Grimes
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm doctorjazz: If you're just listening out of the phone speaker, makes little difference. But, with decent headphones, the home page connection does sound slightly better to me (the app is a bit edgy). But, the difference IS very small, not worth getting crazy over. (Unless you're already crazy with this sort of stuff).
	♥ 11:15pm Little Danny: you talkin' the HPB on Broadway?
	♥ 11:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I love me some James Carr.
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm doctorjazz: That is some set of pipes!
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm Kris Holmes: the way he holds the syllables & then just what he does with the held notes, OMG
	♥ 11:17pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve gotten into so many arguments with Northern Soulies about James Carr and deep soul in general. They don’t like it because you can’t dance to it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Kris Holmes: No, Broadway is probably the tied worst location lol
	11:20pm Dean: I have a flip-phone. I hate it. I hate so-called smartphones even more. I also hate the printing press, so go figure. Must disagree with doctorjazz in a couple respects. First, headphones are not the way to listen for quality sound. Nobody hears the world with objects stuck on or in their ears. Second, digital streaming is dangerous territory. We know so little about sound reproduction, and the legacy of hype about digital reproduction urges caution about the mode. Half Price Books?! Wow, there's one in my town, too.
	♥ 11:20pm Little Danny: Haha, used to be okay like 15 years ago Will be curious to hear some of yer Latin LP haul in future shows
	♥ 11:21pm Little Danny: That post is PEAK DEAN. Hey bud
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm Kris Holmes: Hard soul isn't even that fashionable right now so they don't even like James Carr's "Northern" sides right now
	♥ 11:21pm coelacanth∅: Franco i have a "smartphone" kind of device but i disabled wi-fi and gps. (i think. i hope) it's the least expensive phone service i could find.
	♥ 11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, Northern Soul purists also wear sta-pressed flairs when it's really hot outside. Why would you listen to people who are clearly nuts?
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Kris Holmes: Chronis also says that location used to be the best, but no more, either a staff member is skimming or it just gets hit so hard being in a populated area
	♥ 11:23pm coelacanth∅: i actually fucking hate it, the touch screen bullshit. but tracphone didn't offer flip-phones.
	♥ 11:23pm Matt from New Orleans: I don’t listen to them Franco just like antagonizing closed minded people of all sorts
	11:25pm doctorjazz: Hey, Dean, we can agree to disagree. I love new a good speaker system (and have one). But headphone listening is a different activity (and as capable of good, if different sound). And live music is hey another, different way to hear music (which can be good orbad, depending on the venue, your seats, your neighbors, etc). As far as digitalsound, you go for the best you can manage...
	♥ 11:26pm Little Danny: It's amazing to me that in 2019 such purists still exist. But they do. They're bores, always.
	♥ 11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: I also listen to a radio show from Brisbane Australia called nowhere to run and two of the three hosts hate ska for no real reason that I can ascertain and the third loves to play at least one ska song per show just to antagonize them because they can’t even offer cogent objections. One even stated that she had hated mod jazz until recently but now is more neutral. There’s clearly musical styles I don’t prefer but I’m willing to be exposed to them by someone I respect
	♥ 11:28pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, nothing is ever black and white with you, is it? I have a flip phone because I have a serious fuck you attitude about techno-everything. Including this devise i am sitting in front of right now.
	♥ 11:31pm coelacanth∅: some people aggressively argue in favor of mono music reproduction too. there is no argument as far as what is more "real-life"-sounding - more like live music; but if they like the way the mono sound hits them in the forehead then no one can argue with that. it's a preference of perception. (of course, if they're aggressive about their opinion, as so many are, then it's okay to argue!)
	♥ 11:34pm Franco Twinkie: Solipsism is the operative angle here.
	♥ 11:34pm Little Danny: @Matt. Right. I would occasionally troll the garage fonzies at G45 just to watch them freak out over anything that wasn't some '66 moptop fuzz 'n' farfisa predictability... I can't imagine ever wholesale dismissing even any sub-sub-genre or sub-sub-style.
	♥ 11:35pm Little Danny: Wow. Great production on this the Fuzz. Deep and hypnotic groove
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm Kris Holmes: popping drums
	♥ 11:40pm Matt from New Orleans: Putting my phone down and gonna listen to the final 20 min. Have a good night everyone.
	♥ 11:40pm Little Danny: Ahhh, this Bettye is another deep production head-nodder
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Kris Holmes: goodnight Matt
	11:42pm Dean: I listen to WFMU on my old Chromebook at home and on a crappy Apple at work. Fidelity is not my goal. If it were I'd invest in a decent server and streaming device. Instead, I revel in the transistor radio quality of the playback. It can be a joy. Speakers are the least relevant components of a good system. If everything upstream from the source is decent, you can settle for a huge array of speakers and enjoy endless pleasure. Everyone's a "purist" when it comes to one thing or another. I don't get the criticism, frankly.
	♥ 11:43pm Little Danny: Dean, sure, tho I was leveling the purist criticism at a very specific type of record collector
	11:44pm Dean: Oops. Gotcha. Mistook the comment, LD.
	♥ 11:44pm Little Danny: I do wish there were some sort of AM fidelity browser plugin for shows like Kris's
	11:46pm Dean: Franco, you're right. Nothing (except pianos) is black or white with me.
	11:47pm Dean: And the history of the USA. That, too, is black or white.
	♥ 11:48pm Franco Twinkie: Today I plugged in my Sears 5XL tube amp, and have to admit it sounded like absolute shit.
	♥ 11:50pm coelacanth∅: gnight Matt
	11:51pm Dean: Last week, doctorjazz, I was seriously considering acquiring a pair of Duntech Sovereigns. (Never mind my insistence that speakers don't matter.) I've had Dunlavy SC-IVs, which were utterly gorgeous. Couldn't afford to move them, dammit.
	11:52pm Dean: Alex's Bar! Fantastic! I heard Tom Verlaine there many years ago.
	♥ 11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Tom Verlaine always plays through an old Vox-AC30. THAT is a good speaker.
	♥ 11:58pm coelacanth∅: a good tube amp is a beautiful thing
	11:58pm Dean: Oddly, I'm a solid state kinda guy.
	♥ 11:58pm Little Danny: Night Kris, have a great time in Los Angeles! Night all
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Kris Holmes: Night guys, thanks for tuning in!
	♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kris good night everyone

	♥ 10:50pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Rain for four days!?! Where the the hell do you live anyway?
	♥ 10:54pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks for the tutorial, Kris. Filed away.
	♥ 10:55pm Little Danny: Dude. Kris. Use the WFMU app
	♥ 10:56pm Little Danny: Yeah, expert analysis on that Marvin Gaye side. I'm gonna dig into the backstory
	♥ 10:56pm Matt from New Orleans: That’s what I was going to say Danny
	♥ 10:56pm coelacanth∅: 5 days, counting late yesterday. i thought i was in upstate ny but i think something's shifted and washington state has moved in.
	♥ 10:57pm Little Danny: Who's the guitarist on this Al Green? I dig the licks, recognize them from some Wille Mitchell sides too
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Kris Holmes: There's a WFMU app???!!!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm doctorjazz: Nice All! Hi!
	♥ 10:58pm Little Danny: Hey doc
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm doctorjazz: Hey, Danny!
	♥ 10:59pm Little Danny: It was like one of the first audio-enabled streaming apps on the market after the iPhone debuted. C'mon son
	♥ 11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: Probably teenie Hodges
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Kris Holmes: hahahaha, i suck at phoning
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm doctorjazz: I have the app, but always stream off the home page, seems to sound better to me.
	♥ 11:03pm Little Danny: That must be it, Matt, thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm doctorjazz: (But it could be in my head...)
	♥ 11:05pm coelacanth∅: the fmu application is only for "smartphones" right?
	♥ 11:06pm Little Danny: Never noticed a difference, doc, but I wouldn't necessarily recognize slight differences...
	♥ 11:07pm Little Danny: Yeah, coel, I think. Android or iOS but not like an older flipphone or Blackberry.
	♥ 11:08pm coelacanth∅: okay thanks Danny. it doesn't apply to me then!
	♥ 11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Ha,Coel. You a flipper too?
	♥ 11:12pm Matt from New Orleans: Howard Grimes
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm doctorjazz: If you're just listening out of the phone speaker, makes little difference. But, with decent headphones, the home page connection does sound slightly better to me (the app is a bit edgy). But, the difference IS very small, not worth getting crazy over. (Unless you're already crazy with this sort of stuff).
	♥ 11:15pm Little Danny: you talkin' the HPB on Broadway?
	♥ 11:15pm Matt from New Orleans: I love me some James Carr.
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm doctorjazz: That is some set of pipes!
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm Kris Holmes: the way he holds the syllables & then just what he does with the held notes, OMG
	♥ 11:17pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve gotten into so many arguments with Northern Soulies about James Carr and deep soul in general. They don’t like it because you can’t dance to it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Kris Holmes: No, Broadway is probably the tied worst location lol
	11:20pm Dean: I have a flip-phone. I hate it. I hate so-called smartphones even more. I also hate the printing press, so go figure. Must disagree with doctorjazz in a couple respects. First, headphones are not the way to listen for quality sound. Nobody hears the world with objects stuck on or in their ears. Second, digital streaming is dangerous territory. We know so little about sound reproduction, and the legacy of hype about digital reproduction urges caution about the mode. Half Price Books?! Wow, there's one in my town, too.
	♥ 11:20pm Little Danny: Haha, used to be okay like 15 years ago Will be curious to hear some of yer Latin LP haul in future shows
	♥ 11:21pm Little Danny: That post is PEAK DEAN. Hey bud
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm Kris Holmes: Hard soul isn't even that fashionable right now so they don't even like James Carr's "Northern" sides right now
	♥ 11:21pm coelacanth∅: Franco i have a "smartphone" kind of device but i disabled wi-fi and gps. (i think. i hope) it's the least expensive phone service i could find.
	♥ 11:22pm Franco Twinkie: Matt, Northern Soul purists also wear sta-pressed flairs when it's really hot outside. Why would you listen to people who are clearly nuts?
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Kris Holmes: Chronis also says that location used to be the best, but no more, either a staff member is skimming or it just gets hit so hard being in a populated area
	♥ 11:23pm coelacanth∅: i actually fucking hate it, the touch screen bullshit. but tracphone didn't offer flip-phones.
	♥ 11:23pm Matt from New Orleans: I don’t listen to them Franco just like antagonizing closed minded people of all sorts
	11:25pm doctorjazz: Hey, Dean, we can agree to disagree. I love new a good speaker system (and have one). But headphone listening is a different activity (and as capable of good, if different sound). And live music is hey another, different way to hear music (which can be good orbad, depending on the venue, your seats, your neighbors, etc). As far as digitalsound, you go for the best you can manage...
	♥ 11:26pm Little Danny: It's amazing to me that in 2019 such purists still exist. But they do. They're bores, always.
	♥ 11:27pm Matt from New Orleans: I also listen to a radio show from Brisbane Australia called nowhere to run and two of the three hosts hate ska for no real reason that I can ascertain and the third loves to play at least one ska song per show just to antagonize them because they can’t even offer cogent objections. One even stated that she had hated mod jazz until recently but now is more neutral. There’s clearly musical styles I don’t prefer but I’m willing to be exposed to them by someone I respect
	♥ 11:28pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, nothing is ever black and white with you, is it? I have a flip phone because I have a serious fuck you attitude about techno-everything. Including this devise i am sitting in front of right now.
	♥ 11:31pm coelacanth∅: some people aggressively argue in favor of mono music reproduction too. there is no argument as far as what is more "real-life"-sounding - more like live music; but if they like the way the mono sound hits them in the forehead then no one can argue with that. it's a preference of perception. (of course, if they're aggressive about their opinion, as so many are, then it's okay to argue!)
	♥ 11:34pm Franco Twinkie: Solipsism is the operative angle here.
	♥ 11:34pm Little Danny: @Matt. Right. I would occasionally troll the garage fonzies at G45 just to watch them freak out over anything that wasn't some '66 moptop fuzz 'n' farfisa predictability... I can't imagine ever wholesale dismissing even any sub-sub-genre or sub-sub-style.
	♥ 11:35pm Little Danny: Wow. Great production on this the Fuzz. Deep and hypnotic groove
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm Kris Holmes: popping drums
	♥ 11:40pm Matt from New Orleans: Putting my phone down and gonna listen to the final 20 min. Have a good night everyone.
	♥ 11:40pm Little Danny: Ahhh, this Bettye is another deep production head-nodder
	🥁 ♥ 11:41pm Kris Holmes: goodnight Matt
	11:42pm Dean: I listen to WFMU on my old Chromebook at home and on a crappy Apple at work. Fidelity is not my goal. If it were I'd invest in a decent server and streaming device. Instead, I revel in the transistor radio quality of the playback. It can be a joy. Speakers are the least relevant components of a good system. If everything upstream from the source is decent, you can settle for a huge array of speakers and enjoy endless pleasure. Everyone's a "purist" when it comes to one thing or another. I don't get the criticism, frankly.
	♥ 11:43pm Little Danny: Dean, sure, tho I was leveling the purist criticism at a very specific type of record collector
	11:44pm Dean: Oops. Gotcha. Mistook the comment, LD.
	♥ 11:44pm Little Danny: I do wish there were some sort of AM fidelity browser plugin for shows like Kris's
	11:46pm Dean: Franco, you're right. Nothing (except pianos) is black or white with me.
	11:47pm Dean: And the history of the USA. That, too, is black or white.
	♥ 11:48pm Franco Twinkie: Today I plugged in my Sears 5XL tube amp, and have to admit it sounded like absolute shit.
	♥ 11:50pm coelacanth∅: gnight Matt
	11:51pm Dean: Last week, doctorjazz, I was seriously considering acquiring a pair of Duntech Sovereigns. (Never mind my insistence that speakers don't matter.) I've had Dunlavy SC-IVs, which were utterly gorgeous. Couldn't afford to move them, dammit.
	11:52pm Dean: Alex's Bar! Fantastic! I heard Tom Verlaine there many years ago.
	♥ 11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Tom Verlaine always plays through an old Vox-AC30. THAT is a good speaker.
	♥ 11:58pm coelacanth∅: a good tube amp is a beautiful thing
	11:58pm Dean: Oddly, I'm a solid state kinda guy.
	♥ 11:58pm Little Danny: Night Kris, have a great time in Los Angeles! Night all
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Kris Holmes: Night guys, thanks for tuning in!
	♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kris good night everyone
