Radio is the perfect form of social distancing, but remaining social!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:09am
Meghan:

morning Leshwatt and Dave!
  7:09am
Dave B.:

broadcasting from home?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:11am
Meghan:

Not yet! I SHOULD be getting the last cable today... then we shall see if it all works. Delivery is a lot slower, I ordered this thing 2 weeks ago!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:12am
Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150):

So is this pre-recorded then sent in?
  7:14am
Dave B.:

let me know if i can be of any help from afar... by the way: https://www.actioned.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/working-from-home-meme-29.jpg

No Elwyn- Playlist from July 20, 2017! What was life like back then?! Hmmmm
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:16am
Meghan:

ha that meme is for Jeff!
  7:18am
Listener Robert:

So what I gather from the above is that Meghan's getting deliveries intended for Spatulator in 2017.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:19am
Meghan:

Hahahahaha! Good morning Robert!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:21am
Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150):

OK. I'm a big confused because the main page says "Live DJ". I knew you're live on the message boards.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:23am
Meghan:

I'm not a dead DJ. Yes, There are still a bunch of us that haven't done any prerecorded shows or done any live remote broadcasting. I promised that I was going to put a new show together for next week.... we shall see!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:23am
Meghan:

OHHH! I don't have a sore throat! I am 100% OK! Just some allergies!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:25am
Meghan:

Come on Meghan from the past! It was Grandmaster Flash!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:28am
ParUbi:

If only we could warn past-Meghan about the future!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:29am
Meghan:

Oh seriously! There would be SOOOO many things I would have told her! Buy stock in toilet paper and Clorox wipes, don't take that job, this one night, you will get too drunk... sooo many things!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:36am
Stanley:

Hi Meghan. Just a quick flip from the other side to say hello.
Ooo, African music. You can take it from here.
Avatar 7:36am
leshwatt:

So if you go back and listen to this show in the archives, and read the comments, do they come from 2017 or 2020? Or both?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:38am
Meghan:

This one will be archived with these comments, but the comments from 2017 will still be there. We are doing this all separately.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:38am
Meghan:

Hello Stanley! Hope all is well over by you!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:42am
WR:

July 2017 we hardly knew you. Let's get better acquainted.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:43am
Meghan:

haha, morning WR!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:46am
Stanley:

We're fine, just doing what has to be done.
It's taken me a week to get used to working from my small flat; files, computer etc perched on the edge of a chest of drawers. WFMU on constantly, bar a bit of tv in the evening.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:47am
ParUbi:

I'm leaving WFMU on when I'm not around for the parakeets.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:48am
Meghan:

Yeah, all of a sudden adding a workspace from home has become cumbersome! My husband is trying to teach classes and is having a hard time finding a back drop in our house that won't distract the students. I don't have a lot of plain space!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:49am
ParUbi:

Do you have gallery walls?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:50am
Stanley:

Yeah, you don't want them seeing your tropical island wall mural.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:51am
Meghan:

hahaha. Just lots of art and items to see.... He's sitting in front of armoire with a bunch of old fans on top of it. One of his fellow teachers commented on the fans!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:56am
Meghan:

OH NO! Advil and Tylenol is a bad combo! It made my throat feel better BUT it made me photosensitive! I had the biggest rash on my body... Anything that saw the sun! I went to see Amadou and Mariam the following night and was broken out in the BIGGEST rash!
  7:58am
elwyn:

the drug i have had the most problems with are nurofen. it gave me stomach ulcers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:01am
ParUbi:

I am pretending my classes are podcasts and recording audio lectures. They suck. I stuttered through one of them and coughed my way through the other yesterday.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:01am
Meghan:

Yeah for some reason, taking both Tylenol and Advil together makes you hyper photosensitive. And that summer I didn't have health insurance so I was scared to go to a doctor for fear that it would cost us a crazy amount. But it was all good in the end. Happy ending. I am here and learned from my mistake! The doctor was like- OH YEAH! That combo is bad! hahah
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:02am
ParUbi:

We used to do that combo with the kids, yikes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:02am
Meghan:

Oh no ParUbi! I keep telling my husband to stop getting in the habit of swearing in front of his computer!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:06am
ParUbi:

Maybe I need bed music!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:06am
Meghan:

Ohhhh yes! I love it! Lecture bed music!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:06am
ParUbi:

Or This American Life style, play Penguin Cafe Orchestra or some shit like that in the background

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:17am
Stanley:

I love this track. In fact the whole show is lifting my beleaguered heart, immensely.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:20am
Meghan:

Isn't it amazing how African music can do that?! I feel the same way!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:21am
Meghan:

I have the most amazing dog snuggles happening right now.... that lifts my spirit too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:21am
Stanley:

You have a real dog?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:23am
Meghan:

Yup! Bailey! She's a German Shorthair Pointer mix...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:26am
Stanley:

Bailey! How lovely (I looked it up)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:27am
Meghan:

She's my little Oreo McFlurry

Does she speak German? Bitte Sitzen, Hund!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:42am
Meghan:

My old dog did! He knew Platz!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:43am
Stanley:

Sweet Sweet Mbombo - you can say that again
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45am
ParUbi:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:46am
Meghan:

Oh man, I am going to have this song in my head for the rest of the day.... Sweetie!!! Sweetie!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50am
Doug Schulkind:

The underwater has been so warm and lovely this morning! I could stay in here all day!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
Meghan:

I am glad I picked this archive.... something that whisks you away to happy warm places....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
ParUbi:

What do you guys think about Mdou Moctar? I know everyone played a bit of him during the pledge season...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
ParUbi:

Howdy, neighbor Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
Meghan:

Oh that last album of his was AMAZING. It was in my list of top releases of last year
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53am
Stanley:

A kenyan outfit with a right old blend here - Congolese with South African Kwazulu thing going. Grooving along nicely.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53am
ParUbi:

I got his new single after hearing it during the pledge season. Definitely need to dig deeper into his discography. I like the electrified but traditionally informed style he seems to have
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:54am

Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:56am

Then there was that 75 Dollar Bill album that seemed to borrow a lot from north African music...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:59am

Terrific re-run, Meghan. Thanks very much.
A great pick from almost everywhere in the Sub Sahara.
Except The Congo. Maybe save that for one on it's own.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:59am

More than seemed, ParUbi! Che Chen studied Mauritian guitar deeply.
