	♥ 9:17pm mariano: Hey Ira, Crew, folks. Let's go cray-cray, Mr. Pumpy!

	♥ 9:25pm coelacanth∅: hey mariano, Mr.P
	♥ 9:26pm mariano: Hey coela!
	9:26pm ratty: kick ass set
	9:27pm BH: if you're Electricity works, you can listen to the OMD side-project "Orchestral Manoevres in the Light"
	♥ 9:28pm Ira: I love how on this pro pro pro pop record, the tempo increases within seconds!
	9:29pm egould310: Is this Rex Smith song considered powerpop?
	♥ 9:30pm Ira: And a fake sax solo. Everything about this song is perfect.
	9:30pm egould310: Gaaaahhh!!! Sax solo!!!!
	9:32pm egould310: You “borrowed” this from Michael Shelley’s playlist. Thank you. Great song.
	♥ 9:33pm mariano: There was this busker when I was younger, a girl who played guitar and sang and did the most convincing trumpet solos with her mouth. The same volume, everything.
	♥ 9:44pm Mike W: @Ira i for one believe you deserve a pardon
	♥ 9:45pm John L: Why is it that the Mendocino album has been OOP for so long? I've asked this in other outlets but never got an answer.
	♥ 9:47pm coelacanth∅: i forgot spector produced instant karma. now i feel better about the fact that despite always loving the song and that love remaining undiminished, i never liked the production! ...the drums, mostly.
	♥ 9:47pm spodiodi: hello, hello Ira and everyone
	♥ 9:48pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, Ira, TDK, coel, I'm still screaming it! I got a phone call...and got sidetracked, but I screamed it a the caller! Yahooooooyaaaaayyyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
	♥ 9:48pm Ira: I can't imagine, John L. @colecantho (damn, forgot how to do the slash)--those drum fills are the best!
	♥ 9:48pm mariano: My mom ran into Lil Wayne and entourage a few years back here in Louisiana at a gourmet grocery. Not knowing who he was, she asked him something like "Excuse me, young man, are you a rock star?" and he politely explained "No ma'am, I'm a rapper" and explained a bit about who he was, etc. She said he was very nice, but was kind of wasted. Old ladies can talk to anyone. Hey spodi! Seems like it's been a while.
	♥ 9:48pm Mr. Pumpy: spod! YO!!!!
	♥ 9:49pm spodiodi: YOOOOOO, MR. PUMPY!!!
	♥ 9:49pm mariano: I see you're having something of a Rothko phase, spodi?
	♥ 9:49pm coelacanth∅: oh Ira the playing is great! no it's that they sound hollow and slightly distant. just the sound.
	♥ 9:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Lil Wayne was probably hopped up on the purple sizzurp!
	♥ 9:50pm spodiodi: hey mariano, lol on your mom/lil wayne
	♥ 9:51pm mariano: Very likely, Mr. P.
	♥ 9:52pm TDK60: Charming story, Mariano.
	♥ 9:52pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm thinking spod is doing an Yves Klein thang. Perhaps Lil Wayne did a series in indigo...
	♥ 9:53pm Ira: Fair enough, coelacantho. Mariano, your mom provide any information on what gourmet goods the Lil Waynes were purchasing?
	♥ 9:54pm spodiodi: it's more of a Milton S. Hershey thing tbh
	♥ 9:56pm Ira: Just remembered how to make the ø! Can we start the show again?
	♥ 9:56pm Mr. Pumpy: I sat down here set to complete an assignment for my students to tackle tomorrow. If only they knew I took ten times longer to complete it than need be because I was entrenched in Pharoah Sanders, purple drank, and Rothko! Well, Id be forced to tell them, "That's how good work is done."
	♥ 9:57pm Mr. Pumpy: spod...chocolate paint, what an idea! Yes please.
	♥ 9:58pm spodiodi: it began as a bunch of hershey's kisses... www.candyindustry.com...
	♥ 9:59pm spodiodi: when it dries it makes a delicious crackly shell (hope that's ok)
	10:00pm egould310: Just rented “La Bamba” on Amazon Prime. I have never seen this film in what, 33 years? I’m going to a wedding in Des Moines, IA this spring. I’d like to take a day trip up to the crash site. RIP, Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper. I guess RIP to the pilot, but c’mon dude. You had one job; don’t crash.
	♥ 10:00pm mariano: Ira: Good question, lol, but not as far as I recall. WWLWE: What Would Lil Wayne Eat?
	10:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Interestingly enough, I realized the other week that I don't have a 45 of The Young Rascals version of "Good Lovin'".
	10:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think I don't have a 45 of "Satisfaction" either, but I like "Good Lovin'" more.
	♥ 10:03pm mariano: I know that grocery though, and the thing they're really known for are their marinated crab claws, bet that was it.
	♥ 10:04pm Ira: Once you have the Devo record, T-o-p T, you're pretty much set.
	♥ 10:06pm mariano: This is a beautiful song, "Pamela, Pamela." Never heard it before.
	♥ 10:06pm chresti: Mariano @9:48, that's what I like about getting old.
	♥ 10:07pm chresti: Hello Ira and company!
	♥ 10:08pm spodiodi: hi chresti! \\//
	10:08pm Breughel: JUST NOW making it over from Todd via RockNsoul Stream cause the robot-tunes were just HITTIN' IT!!!!! humans r cool too though. hi everyone!
	♥ 10:09pm chresti: Hi spodi! \\//
	♥ 10:09pm mariano: Heya chresti! Lol, you're not old, come on. Though as I'm getting into my 50s, I notice that the baseline amount of respect I get is going up. I was wondering why some friends of mine in their 30s kept using the "usted" form with me in Spanish, then I realized "Oh my god. They think I'm old." Same thing in north Louisiana when I'm up there: it's "yes sir, no sir" all the way. I can live with that.
	♥ 10:09pm TDK60: Hi spodi, chresti, other humans on board, \\ //
	♥ 10:10pm spodiodi: \\//DK60
	♥ 10:10pm chresti: Hi TDK60 \\ //
	♥ 10:10pm mariano: \\ // and \m/ TDK60!
	♥ 10:12pm chresti: I started getting referred to as "the lady", once I hit my 50s.
	10:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: That Altons 45 was divine. I'll get that before "Good Lovin'" or "Satisfaction".
	♥ 10:13pm mariano: As you should be, doña chresti ;)
	10:14pm KWilde: \\0//
	10:15pm ian: Beautiful stuff tonight, Ira. Curing what ails me!
	♥ 10:16pm Ira: Thanks, Ian. Get well soon!
	♥ 10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: The intro to that RRM track put me in the mind of Caldonia.
	♥ 10:19pm spodiodi: aye, mrP
	♥ 10:20pm Stevel: Boy, Iggy knocked the shit out of those drums.
	♥ 10:20pm Parq: Miz Chresti, wondering if that was when people would order for you in restaurants ("The lady will have ...")
	♥ 10:21pm TDK60: I dunno Todd, Satisfaction had that cool futuristic fuzz.
	♥ 10:21pm Aitch: Iggy is one of the fundamental forces.
	♥ 10:22pm Ira: Mr. Pumpy--it's practically a medley of Caledonia and Tutti Frutti. A winning formula.
	♥ 10:22pm Franco Twinkie: Wow! That is the first time I've heard Rudy Ray Moore sing. I'm well acquainted with his filthy stories, which I love.
	♥ 10:23pm chresti: Mr. Parq, ha! More like ''Waddya havin'?"
	♥ 10:24pm Mr. Pumpy: Ira...yes! You just put my mind at ease. It was in consternation mode. Thank you!
	♥ 10:24pm Mr. Pumpy: Now...I am loving this João Lobo. Great set!
	♥ 10:25pm Franco Twinkie: Mariano, the first time I got that 'Sir" shit, I looked behind myself. Now, It's "Do you need help?"
	♥ 10:26pm Ira: @Franco Twinkie: If you haven't seen the biopic w/Eddie Murphy, you should. It's really good.
	♥ 10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: Is he yelling "Chrestiiiiiii!"???
	10:29pm Mary L: Loving your show, Ira. Meg and Charlie and I listening from different ends of California now. Hugs!
	♥ 10:29pm Franco Twinkie: Ira, I have. It was filmed at Poobah Records in Pasadena where the singing group I was with at the time would practice. They would leave, we would come in.
	♥ 10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, how's that boomerang haggis?
	10:30pm Georgia: Hi mary meg and Charlie! Miss you guys
	♥ 10:31pm Franco Twinkie: Oh wow! Our friend Tim was in The Pop.
	10:31pm Mary L: Aahh, miss you Georgia!!! Hope you're hangin in there!
	♥ 10:31pm mariano: ¡Saludos don Franco! Yeah, it's not really common in New Orleans, but generally in the South, with anyone older than oneself, if it's a yes/no question, it's always yes sir/no sir or yes ma'am/no ma'am. People in their 60s will say it to their elders.
	♥ 10:32pm Parq: As it happens, I hit 65 today. Much like in that Tom Lehrer song, I'm ready for Medicare. And I have no problem with being called "Sir". On the contrary, the one that rankles me is the one where 20-something phone reps call me by my first name.
	♥ 10:32pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Ira, Georgia, Skeleton, TOPT, Mariano, 126464, Spodi, SteveL, everybody on this super Tuesday!
	10:33pm Georgia: Amanda’s fill in show was sensational
	10:33pm KWilde: So great to hear Amanda back on the air
	♥ 10:34pm chresti: Happy birthday Parq! I'll be 64 in August.
	♥ 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: Happy birthday Parq. I crossed the Rubicon in July. Just think, we're front loaded for the vaccine. I can't wait, because I'm scared.
	♥ 10:35pm ParUbi: I have achieved the comments page
	10:35pm e from eo: Agreed re Amanda’s show! Lucky to be listening...
	♥ 10:36pm ParUbi: Happy birthday Parq from a fellow Par- person
	♥ 10:36pm Franco Twinkie: We all celebrate Amanda.
	♥ 10:36pm mariano: Oh no, I didn't know Amanda was sick, especially that sick, that's terrible! Sending her all the good vibes :( Yeah, we're at the point of surpassing our WWII deaths in just a year. But oh no, letting the federal government manage the response would've been "tyranny." Happy birthday, Parq! It's Therese's birthday today too. Heya HoboJack!
	10:38pm Bri The Beatnik: There were a lot of Beegees songs I didn’t realize they wrote until I watched a video, like this kne
	10:38pm Bri The Beatnik: Happy birthday Parq!
	♥ 10:38pm mariano: Hey ParUbi, Bri!
	10:39pm Bri The Beatnik: We should all sing “When I’m 64” for Chresti!
	♥ 10:39pm Ira: Mary! Charlie! Meg! Hoboken Jack! What a group. Hello to all.
	10:40pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Mariano!
	10:41pm Michael Shore: @Ira Howard Johnson also did this great Miller Lite commercial where the bartenders translates HoJo's "jazz talk" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq-llysqjzw
	♥ 10:41pm chresti: Ha Bri! I often forget how old I am.
	♥ 10:41pm Hoboken Jack: Not gonna lie, was hoping for a segue to "Change Reaction" by Robert Hazard.
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: Howdy Bri. I guess you're an early bird too. I can rarely hit the Night Owl, which is to bad because I love the psychedelic rabbit hole that it is.
	♥ 10:42pm Hoboken Jack: Happy birthday Parq!!
	♥ 10:44pm Ira: Michael Shore, Hoboken Jack . . . clearly the wrong person is steering the ship. If you guys organize a mutiny, no one will blame you.
	10:44pm Jedley: Too soon @Ira! ;0
	♥ 10:45pm mariano: Wel'll still need you and feed you, chresti.
	♥ 10:45pm mariano: *We'll...
	10:46pm Bri The Beatnik: I’m not that much of an early bird, I had therapy at 10 this morning though, I can’t remember getting much sleep before then, but have been getting up earlier due to my antidepressant and my Mom no longer working from home
	♥ 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: When I fall over dead, you can move in Mariano. I'll prepare a list of what Chresti does and doesn't eat and tape it to the refrigerator.
	♥ 10:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...how are you feeling the last few days since we spoke?
	♥ 10:56pm mariano: Franco: Oh come on, you'll outlive me by at least 10 years ;) Besides, the world needs your pies!
	♥ 10:58pm Ira: I don't mind you guys talking among yourselves. In fact, I enjoy it. But if there are pies involved, I feel like it's only fair to share with your disc jockey.
	♥ 10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Ira, I'm your man. What's your fancy?
	♥ 10:59pm Parq: Howard Johnson made the tuba cool. Heavy metal indeed. And thanks, everybody, for the birthday wishes.
	11:00pm Bri The Beatnik: I’ve been feeling better Pumpy, how about you?
	♥ 11:01pm Ira: Franco Twinkie, I put the om in omnivore. Parq: There was a short-lived band in my town that took a page from the Taj Mahal band and had multiple tubas. If I'm not insane, their big number was a 60-minute version of "Who Do You Love." Quicksilver crossed w/Taj Mahal. What I'd give to hear that again!
	♥ 11:03pm Ira: If you were listening to the beginning of the show, I just explained why I didn't get the New York Dolls. Something to do with a 60-minute tuba-driven version of "Who Do You Love."
	♥ 11:04pm brycepunk1: That track was awesome
	♥ 11:04pm mariano: Hoyven maven!
	♥ 11:05pm mariano: There's another really funny Bergman sendup from SCTV with Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara. They do it all in mock Swedish, it's in black and white.
	11:06pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...glad to hear it! Yeah, pretty good. Hanging in. good news here and there offset with a few bummers. Life...they call it. I press forward!
	♥ 11:06pm Hoboken Jack: Not nearly enough Frogs on these airwaves, thank ya!
	♥ 11:07pm Franco Twinkie: That's sounds great Ira! All John Cippolinas sinewy guitar lashings transcribes for tuba.
	11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: Great headline I saw today: Trapped Chinese miners request sausages
	♥ 11:07pm spodiodi: slow hi back, Jack!
	♥ 11:07pm Parq: The Muppets took on Bergman. Something about the Chef meeting Death (the latter played by Beaker).
	♥ 11:07pm chresti: Thank you Ira, nice to listen to you! Going to bed now, gotta get up tomorrow to dodge globulets at the tennis courts, good night everyone!
	♥ 11:07pm Stevel: Now reading this book. Very relevant to the current set! From Nichols and May to Tina Fey (that's such a cute rhyme, I'm gonna leave it.) www.samwasson.com...
	♥ 11:08pm spodiodi: night, chresti!
	11:13pm Mr. Pumpy: I washed my hair for the first time in a month+ earlier. I have to say, I wish I hadn't put it off so long. It is quite luxuriant and pleasing in the way it cascades about the shoulders.
	♥ 11:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Damn...I guess I was signed out. I got tired of solving math equations!
	11:14pm vj pussycat: @mr. pumpy, i heard the miners requested porridge and pickles
	♥ 11:15pm hillzy: ira thank you for helping me get thru the late shift at work :)
	♥ 11:15pm Hoboken Jack: True story: Many years ago, waiting for the PATH at Christopher St, there were Ira and Georgia. Fanboy that I am, I asked them to sign the book I was reading: Shawn Levy's biography of Jerry Lewis. And one of the two inscriptions I received was "Boeing Boeing, Ira"
	♥ 11:16pm spodiodi: saw that porridge and pickles headline earlier
	♥ 11:16pm Scott Williams: I will never ever ever get used to this empty radio station.
	11:16pm Bri The Beatnik: That’s good you’re pressing forward Pumpy! Me too!
	♥ 11:18pm Mr. Pumpy: vj...AND sausages?! The heart wants what it wants. I hope they get the hell out of their soon. Scary stuff.
	♥ 11:18pm Franco Twinkie: Spending all day in my pajamas has become the new norm. I've lost interest in trying to look decent.
	♥ 11:18pm spodiodi: thanks for being there, Scott Williams 🙏
	♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: what food would YOU request if you were trapped in a mine?
	♥ 11:19pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...excellent! Here's to keeping at it!
	♥ 11:19pm spodiodi: sardines and licorice.
	♥ 11:20pm spodiodi: maybe porridge too... idk
	♥ 11:20pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, Pizza, and them some pizza, after that just bring pizza. It's so well-friendly aside from being delicious.
	♥ 11:20pm Richy4619: Aww. The vocals for this Funky Piano song are also mid-90s gold for me. this track accompanied the New Jersey Drive soundtrack...
	♥ 11:20pm Ira: In one of the deleted scenes from Ace in the Hole, the Kirk Douglas character decides to let the guy caught in the mine not get rescued because he just finished a snack of sardines and licorice.
	♥ 11:21pm Franco Twinkie: I think a tube delivery system of rice pudding would be easy to facilitate.
	♥ 11:22pm Mr. Pumpy: 50 hard boiled eggs and an 86 ounce steak. Then come see what I want to eat.
	♥ 11:22pm spodiodi: i've never seen ace in the hole... but i think it's for the best after hearing that, Ira
	♥ 11:22pm coelacanth∅: then i guess sardines and licorice is out.
	11:23pm vj pussycat: a tasty number by my friend/fav sushi chef called mango bass and root beer on ice and bacon
	♥ 11:23pm spodiodi: phooey. no more spelunking for me
	♥ 11:24pm coelacanth∅: i'd like salmon teriyaki with vegetable, cooked rare. in fact i want that right now.
	♥ 11:25pm mariano: Lol, Mr. P! Sounds like those miners have their priorities in order. I hear you, Ira: I've been on the Accu off and on for what, around a dozen years iirc, been listening to FMU for ~23 years, but it's taken on such significance this last year.
	♥ 11:27pm coelacanth∅: porridge? mostly carbs that wont get burned...unless they're trying to dig their way out
	♥ 11:27pm mariano: A friend of mine has been really into congee lately, I need to check it out. It's something I've seen in Chinatown over the years but never gave it a try. It's a rice porridge that's a blank canvas, can be savory or sweet.
	♥ 11:30pm spodiodi: hope the rescuers get the temperature right on the porridge
	♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: what would you add to it?
	11:31pm Bri The Beatnik: I would want Ritz cheese bits
	♥ 11:31pm spodiodi: oh shucks: Goldilocks launches LEGAL ACTION as Three Bears’ porridge wasn’t gluten-free southendnewsnetwork.net...
	♥ 11:31pm coelacanth∅: haha ... do you want that right now?!
	♥ 11:31pm Chop Scott: A pal in France is trying to convince me to try "Tyrkisk peber"--a salty licorice candy dissolved into a bottle of vodka. I am quite skeptical.
	11:31pm Bri The Beatnik: I have a big bag of snacks in my room, I’d take that, maybe some French toast crunch, but I’d need to refrigerate the Sunny Delight that I like to accompany it
	♥ 11:32pm Aitch: Can't go wrong with the vodka part
	♥ 11:32pm mariano: coela: I'd add duck and scallions for sure. I bet Vietnamese roast pork would be good in it too.
	11:33pm Bri The Beatnik: I’d bring a cooler ;)
	♥ 11:33pm coelacanth∅: i don't know about tyrkisk peber, but some hot chocolate with sambuca added would be a good afternoon treat
	♥ 11:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Franco, that could work. It would take some figuring, but it has a good chance.
	♥ 11:34pm Aitch: you sexy thing
	♥ 11:34pm Ira: I would definitely try the Tyrkisk peber if I were where it was a local specialty. Equally sure I would not go into the bar on the corner and order one.
	♥ 11:34pm Paulo AD: Morning all :)
	♥ 11:34pm Paulo AD: Mariano, how you feeling after your birthday ?
	♥ 11:35pm Aitch: If he needs congee, he must be hurting
	♥ 11:36pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...I don't think you can so much 'take' things as request them once in the collapsed mine. This limits one's options. But hey...it's all fair game I guess, being a hypothetical situation and all!
	♥ 11:37pm coelacanth∅: yes - i would try the tyrkisk peber. i'll try damn near anything if it's not part of an animal. (and a few things that are)
	♥ 11:38pm coelacanth∅: well, if she requests a cooler be sent down, then they have to drill a hole big enough for a cooler to slide through; then the miners can trick them and crawl out through that hole!
	11:38pm vj pussycat: i would def try the licorice vodka thing - as long as it's black licorice
	♥ 11:39pm coelacanth∅: i like black licorice, just not a big vodka fan
	♥ 11:42pm mariano: Tyrkisk peber, wouldn't that be Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian for Turkish pepper?
	♥ 11:44pm mariano: Møøse bites kän be pretti nasti...
	11:44pm Bri The Beatnik: I don’t like Black licorice
	♥ 11:45pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, did you ever go to Congee Village on Allen St. just south of Delancey? It is a wonderful, multi-level Chinese food establishment, emphasis on the Cantonese cuisine, with karaoke rooms in the basement and all manner of bars and tables throughout. I never thought to look up the meaning of 'congee' in the past. They make an insane Mai-Tai, and are also one of the few places in town that serve geoduck. It is a great place to go to before and after shows. I have hit it many times while catching tunes at the Bowery Ballroom.
	♥ 11:45pm Ira: So that's one virgin peber for mariano, and a Tyrkisk straight up for Bri the Beatnik. Back with your drinks in a flash.
	♥ 11:45pm coelacanth∅: no way mariano, they're a delicacy!
	♥ 11:45pm Mr. Pumpy: IRA! This tune is hitting me in all of the proper spots! Thanks, brother.
	11:45pm Lori from Eau Claire: Great...oscillations!
	♥ 11:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Makes sense this is on Feeding Tube. Lovely, it is.
	♥ 11:49pm Chop Scott: "Tyrkisk peber" is Finnish. Very salty and spicy, made for years by the company Fazar.
	11:49pm vj pussycat: this track is sublime indeed
	♥ 11:49pm Franco Twinkie: This a beautiful and thoughtful jam. It put's me someplace beyond my own circular ruminations.
	♥ 11:50pm coelacanth∅: i wish i'd known about congee village -or maybe it wasn't there when i was going to shows downtown a lot. i don't get into the city much any more. (which i'm fine with)
	♥ 11:50pm mariano: I don't mind licorice but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I'm not a huge fan of pastis and other licorice-tasting booze though. Well, I guess absinthe. Back when I drank, that is. Mr. P: No, I never went to that one, sounds amazing. My late-night go-to spot was Great NY Noodle Town. I love the noodle soup with duck and shrimp dumplings. Last time I was there, a few years back, I was reminded of how difficult it is to pull off seeming sober while eating noodle soup. It was embarrassing because I was sitting at a big table with strangers whispering to each other. Ah, thanks, Chop Scott.
	♥ 11:51pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, it opened in 1996
	♥ 11:53pm coelacanth∅: damn. i went to dozens of shows on lower manhatten between 1996 and 2001.
	♥ 11:53pm Chop Scott: So glad that you are here on the air and navigating the remote situation Ira. Cheers to you, Georgia & Scott W.!
	♥ 11:55pm Mr. Pumpy: Damn...this Spiral Wave Nomads is making me miss playing the guitar. I have been suffering pretty extreme carpal tunnel pain and numbness which I ignored for a year being I was looking after my pops. I finally went to a hand specialist a few weeks ago, and after some tests...I am cleared for a simple surgery that is going to fix it almost immediately. I'm so stoked I'll soon be pain free in my hands again. Doubly stoked I can begin to work on music for the first time in a while. Spiral Wave Nomads is inspiring!
	♥ 11:55pm mariano: The places I tended to go back to were Thai Son and Pho Pasteur for Vietnamese, New Green Bo for cheap eats, Prosperity Dumpling for pot sticker (great scallion pancakes too), though I guess they got shut down when they busted them making dumplings in the alley behind the building, lol. North Star had good dumplings too. And then, when there were enough of us, Jing Fong and Golden Unicorn for dim sum. That's one thing I really miss; no dim sum in NOLA.

	♥ 9:13pm Mr. Pumpy: 'Allo, Ira and all! I'm feeling good and I need to scream it from the hilltops, damnit! The tunes, while not the root cause, are certainly augmenting my joy! May everyone within earshot revel by extension and/or association. Et beatus vivat cerritulus!
	♥ 9:14pm Ira: Scream it, Mr. Pumpy!
	♥ 9:17pm mariano: Hey Ira, Crew, folks. Let's go cray-cray, Mr. Pumpy!
	♥ 9:19pm TDK60: Don't know Latin, Mr. Pumpy, but I get yer drift.
	♥ 9:25pm coelacanth∅: before looking i was hoping this was Al Bino and the Eumelanins
	♥ 9:25pm coelacanth∅: hey mariano, Mr.P
	♥ 9:26pm mariano: Hey coela!
	9:26pm ratty: kick ass set
	9:27pm BH: if you're Electricity works, you can listen to the OMD side-project "Orchestral Manoevres in the Light"
	♥ 9:28pm Ira: I love how on this pro pro pro pop record, the tempo increases within seconds!
	9:29pm egould310: Is this Rex Smith song considered powerpop?
	♥ 9:30pm Ira: And a fake sax solo. Everything about this song is perfect.
	9:30pm egould310: Gaaaahhh!!! Sax solo!!!!
	9:32pm egould310: You “borrowed” this from Michael Shelley’s playlist. Thank you. Great song.
	♥ 9:33pm mariano: There was this busker when I was younger, a girl who played guitar and sang and did the most convincing trumpet solos with her mouth. The same volume, everything.
	♥ 9:44pm Mike W: @Ira i for one believe you deserve a pardon
	♥ 9:45pm John L: Why is it that the Mendocino album has been OOP for so long? I've asked this in other outlets but never got an answer.
	♥ 9:47pm coelacanth∅: i forgot spector produced instant karma. now i feel better about the fact that despite always loving the song and that love remaining undiminished, i never liked the production! ...the drums, mostly.
	♥ 9:47pm spodiodi: hello, hello Ira and everyone
	♥ 9:48pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, Ira, TDK, coel, I'm still screaming it! I got a phone call...and got sidetracked, but I screamed it a the caller! Yahooooooyaaaaayyyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
	♥ 9:48pm Ira: I can't imagine, John L. @colecantho (damn, forgot how to do the slash)--those drum fills are the best!
	♥ 9:48pm mariano: My mom ran into Lil Wayne and entourage a few years back here in Louisiana at a gourmet grocery. Not knowing who he was, she asked him something like "Excuse me, young man, are you a rock star?" and he politely explained "No ma'am, I'm a rapper" and explained a bit about who he was, etc. She said he was very nice, but was kind of wasted. Old ladies can talk to anyone. Hey spodi! Seems like it's been a while.
	♥ 9:48pm Mr. Pumpy: spod! YO!!!!
	♥ 9:49pm spodiodi: YOOOOOO, MR. PUMPY!!!
	♥ 9:49pm mariano: I see you're having something of a Rothko phase, spodi?
	♥ 9:49pm coelacanth∅: oh Ira the playing is great! no it's that they sound hollow and slightly distant. just the sound.
	♥ 9:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Lil Wayne was probably hopped up on the purple sizzurp!
	♥ 9:50pm spodiodi: hey mariano, lol on your mom/lil wayne
	♥ 9:51pm mariano: Very likely, Mr. P.
	♥ 9:52pm TDK60: Charming story, Mariano.
	♥ 9:52pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm thinking spod is doing an Yves Klein thang. Perhaps Lil Wayne did a series in indigo...
	♥ 9:53pm Ira: Fair enough, coelacantho. Mariano, your mom provide any information on what gourmet goods the Lil Waynes were purchasing?
	♥ 9:54pm spodiodi: it's more of a Milton S. Hershey thing tbh
	♥ 9:56pm Ira: Just remembered how to make the ø! Can we start the show again?
	♥ 9:56pm Mr. Pumpy: I sat down here set to complete an assignment for my students to tackle tomorrow. If only they knew I took ten times longer to complete it than need be because I was entrenched in Pharoah Sanders, purple drank, and Rothko! Well, Id be forced to tell them, "That's how good work is done."
	♥ 9:57pm Mr. Pumpy: spod...chocolate paint, what an idea! Yes please.
	♥ 9:58pm spodiodi: it began as a bunch of hershey's kisses... www.candyindustry.com...
	♥ 9:59pm spodiodi: when it dries it makes a delicious crackly shell (hope that's ok)
	10:00pm egould310: Just rented “La Bamba” on Amazon Prime. I have never seen this film in what, 33 years? I’m going to a wedding in Des Moines, IA this spring. I’d like to take a day trip up to the crash site. RIP, Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper. I guess RIP to the pilot, but c’mon dude. You had one job; don’t crash.
	♥ 10:00pm mariano: Ira: Good question, lol, but not as far as I recall. WWLWE: What Would Lil Wayne Eat?
	10:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Interestingly enough, I realized the other week that I don't have a 45 of The Young Rascals version of "Good Lovin'".
	10:01pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I think I don't have a 45 of "Satisfaction" either, but I like "Good Lovin'" more.
	♥ 10:03pm mariano: I know that grocery though, and the thing they're really known for are their marinated crab claws, bet that was it.
	♥ 10:04pm Ira: Once you have the Devo record, T-o-p T, you're pretty much set.
	♥ 10:06pm mariano: This is a beautiful song, "Pamela, Pamela." Never heard it before.
	♥ 10:06pm chresti: Mariano @9:48, that's what I like about getting old.
	♥ 10:07pm chresti: Hello Ira and company!
	♥ 10:08pm spodiodi: hi chresti! \\//
	10:08pm Breughel: JUST NOW making it over from Todd via RockNsoul Stream cause the robot-tunes were just HITTIN' IT!!!!! humans r cool too though. hi everyone!
	♥ 10:09pm chresti: Hi spodi! \\//
	♥ 10:09pm mariano: Heya chresti! Lol, you're not old, come on. Though as I'm getting into my 50s, I notice that the baseline amount of respect I get is going up. I was wondering why some friends of mine in their 30s kept using the "usted" form with me in Spanish, then I realized "Oh my god. They think I'm old." Same thing in north Louisiana when I'm up there: it's "yes sir, no sir" all the way. I can live with that.
	♥ 10:09pm TDK60: Hi spodi, chresti, other humans on board, \\ //
	♥ 10:10pm spodiodi: \\//DK60
	♥ 10:10pm chresti: Hi TDK60 \\ //
	♥ 10:10pm mariano: \\ // and \m/ TDK60!
	♥ 10:12pm chresti: I started getting referred to as "the lady", once I hit my 50s.
	10:12pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: That Altons 45 was divine. I'll get that before "Good Lovin'" or "Satisfaction".
	♥ 10:13pm mariano: As you should be, doña chresti ;)
	10:14pm KWilde: \\0//
	10:15pm ian: Beautiful stuff tonight, Ira. Curing what ails me!
	♥ 10:16pm Ira: Thanks, Ian. Get well soon!
	♥ 10:19pm Mr. Pumpy: The intro to that RRM track put me in the mind of Caldonia.
	♥ 10:19pm spodiodi: aye, mrP
	♥ 10:20pm Stevel: Boy, Iggy knocked the shit out of those drums.
	♥ 10:20pm Parq: Miz Chresti, wondering if that was when people would order for you in restaurants ("The lady will have ...")
	♥ 10:21pm TDK60: I dunno Todd, Satisfaction had that cool futuristic fuzz.
	♥ 10:21pm Aitch: Iggy is one of the fundamental forces.
	♥ 10:22pm Ira: Mr. Pumpy--it's practically a medley of Caledonia and Tutti Frutti. A winning formula.
	♥ 10:22pm Franco Twinkie: Wow! That is the first time I've heard Rudy Ray Moore sing. I'm well acquainted with his filthy stories, which I love.
	♥ 10:23pm chresti: Mr. Parq, ha! More like ''Waddya havin'?"
	♥ 10:24pm Mr. Pumpy: Ira...yes! You just put my mind at ease. It was in consternation mode. Thank you!
	♥ 10:24pm Mr. Pumpy: Now...I am loving this João Lobo. Great set!
	♥ 10:25pm Franco Twinkie: Mariano, the first time I got that 'Sir" shit, I looked behind myself. Now, It's "Do you need help?"
	♥ 10:26pm Ira: @Franco Twinkie: If you haven't seen the biopic w/Eddie Murphy, you should. It's really good.
	♥ 10:28pm Mr. Pumpy: Is he yelling "Chrestiiiiiii!"???
	10:29pm Mary L: Loving your show, Ira. Meg and Charlie and I listening from different ends of California now. Hugs!
	♥ 10:29pm Franco Twinkie: Ira, I have. It was filmed at Poobah Records in Pasadena where the singing group I was with at the time would practice. They would leave, we would come in.
	♥ 10:30pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, how's that boomerang haggis?
	10:30pm Georgia: Hi mary meg and Charlie! Miss you guys
	♥ 10:31pm Franco Twinkie: Oh wow! Our friend Tim was in The Pop.
	10:31pm Mary L: Aahh, miss you Georgia!!! Hope you're hangin in there!
	♥ 10:31pm mariano: ¡Saludos don Franco! Yeah, it's not really common in New Orleans, but generally in the South, with anyone older than oneself, if it's a yes/no question, it's always yes sir/no sir or yes ma'am/no ma'am. People in their 60s will say it to their elders.
	♥ 10:32pm Parq: As it happens, I hit 65 today. Much like in that Tom Lehrer song, I'm ready for Medicare. And I have no problem with being called "Sir". On the contrary, the one that rankles me is the one where 20-something phone reps call me by my first name.
	♥ 10:32pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Ira, Georgia, Skeleton, TOPT, Mariano, 126464, Spodi, SteveL, everybody on this super Tuesday!
	10:33pm Georgia: Amanda’s fill in show was sensational
	10:33pm KWilde: So great to hear Amanda back on the air
	♥ 10:34pm chresti: Happy birthday Parq! I'll be 64 in August.
	♥ 10:35pm Franco Twinkie: Happy birthday Parq. I crossed the Rubicon in July. Just think, we're front loaded for the vaccine. I can't wait, because I'm scared.
	♥ 10:35pm ParUbi: I have achieved the comments page
	10:35pm e from eo: Agreed re Amanda’s show! Lucky to be listening...
	♥ 10:36pm ParUbi: Happy birthday Parq from a fellow Par- person
	♥ 10:36pm Franco Twinkie: We all celebrate Amanda.
	♥ 10:36pm mariano: Oh no, I didn't know Amanda was sick, especially that sick, that's terrible! Sending her all the good vibes :( Yeah, we're at the point of surpassing our WWII deaths in just a year. But oh no, letting the federal government manage the response would've been "tyranny." Happy birthday, Parq! It's Therese's birthday today too. Heya HoboJack!
	10:38pm Bri The Beatnik: There were a lot of Beegees songs I didn’t realize they wrote until I watched a video, like this kne
	10:38pm Bri The Beatnik: Happy birthday Parq!
	♥ 10:38pm mariano: Hey ParUbi, Bri!
	10:39pm Bri The Beatnik: We should all sing “When I’m 64” for Chresti!
	♥ 10:39pm Ira: Mary! Charlie! Meg! Hoboken Jack! What a group. Hello to all.
	10:40pm Bri The Beatnik: Hey Mariano!
	10:41pm Michael Shore: @Ira Howard Johnson also did this great Miller Lite commercial where the bartenders translates HoJo's "jazz talk" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq-llysqjzw
	♥ 10:41pm chresti: Ha Bri! I often forget how old I am.
	♥ 10:41pm Hoboken Jack: Not gonna lie, was hoping for a segue to "Change Reaction" by Robert Hazard.
	♥ 10:41pm Franco Twinkie: Howdy Bri. I guess you're an early bird too. I can rarely hit the Night Owl, which is to bad because I love the psychedelic rabbit hole that it is.
	♥ 10:42pm Hoboken Jack: Happy birthday Parq!!
	♥ 10:44pm Ira: Michael Shore, Hoboken Jack . . . clearly the wrong person is steering the ship. If you guys organize a mutiny, no one will blame you.
	10:44pm Jedley: Too soon @Ira! ;0
	♥ 10:45pm mariano: Wel'll still need you and feed you, chresti.
	♥ 10:45pm mariano: *We'll...
	10:46pm Bri The Beatnik: I’m not that much of an early bird, I had therapy at 10 this morning though, I can’t remember getting much sleep before then, but have been getting up earlier due to my antidepressant and my Mom no longer working from home
	♥ 10:48pm Franco Twinkie: When I fall over dead, you can move in Mariano. I'll prepare a list of what Chresti does and doesn't eat and tape it to the refrigerator.
	♥ 10:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...how are you feeling the last few days since we spoke?
	♥ 10:56pm mariano: Franco: Oh come on, you'll outlive me by at least 10 years ;) Besides, the world needs your pies!
	♥ 10:58pm Ira: I don't mind you guys talking among yourselves. In fact, I enjoy it. But if there are pies involved, I feel like it's only fair to share with your disc jockey.
	♥ 10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Ira, I'm your man. What's your fancy?
	♥ 10:59pm Parq: Howard Johnson made the tuba cool. Heavy metal indeed. And thanks, everybody, for the birthday wishes.
	11:00pm Bri The Beatnik: I’ve been feeling better Pumpy, how about you?
	♥ 11:01pm Ira: Franco Twinkie, I put the om in omnivore. Parq: There was a short-lived band in my town that took a page from the Taj Mahal band and had multiple tubas. If I'm not insane, their big number was a 60-minute version of "Who Do You Love." Quicksilver crossed w/Taj Mahal. What I'd give to hear that again!
	♥ 11:03pm Ira: If you were listening to the beginning of the show, I just explained why I didn't get the New York Dolls. Something to do with a 60-minute tuba-driven version of "Who Do You Love."
	♥ 11:04pm brycepunk1: That track was awesome
	♥ 11:04pm mariano: Hoyven maven!
	♥ 11:05pm mariano: There's another really funny Bergman sendup from SCTV with Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara. They do it all in mock Swedish, it's in black and white.
	11:06pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...glad to hear it! Yeah, pretty good. Hanging in. good news here and there offset with a few bummers. Life...they call it. I press forward!
	♥ 11:06pm Hoboken Jack: Not nearly enough Frogs on these airwaves, thank ya!
	♥ 11:07pm Franco Twinkie: That's sounds great Ira! All John Cippolinas sinewy guitar lashings transcribes for tuba.
	11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: Great headline I saw today: Trapped Chinese miners request sausages
	♥ 11:07pm spodiodi: slow hi back, Jack!
	♥ 11:07pm Parq: The Muppets took on Bergman. Something about the Chef meeting Death (the latter played by Beaker).
	♥ 11:07pm chresti: Thank you Ira, nice to listen to you! Going to bed now, gotta get up tomorrow to dodge globulets at the tennis courts, good night everyone!
	♥ 11:07pm Stevel: Now reading this book. Very relevant to the current set! From Nichols and May to Tina Fey (that's such a cute rhyme, I'm gonna leave it.) www.samwasson.com...
	♥ 11:08pm spodiodi: night, chresti!
	11:13pm Mr. Pumpy: I washed my hair for the first time in a month+ earlier. I have to say, I wish I hadn't put it off so long. It is quite luxuriant and pleasing in the way it cascades about the shoulders.
	♥ 11:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Damn...I guess I was signed out. I got tired of solving math equations!
	11:14pm vj pussycat: @mr. pumpy, i heard the miners requested porridge and pickles
	♥ 11:15pm hillzy: ira thank you for helping me get thru the late shift at work :)
	♥ 11:15pm Hoboken Jack: True story: Many years ago, waiting for the PATH at Christopher St, there were Ira and Georgia. Fanboy that I am, I asked them to sign the book I was reading: Shawn Levy's biography of Jerry Lewis. And one of the two inscriptions I received was "Boeing Boeing, Ira"
	♥ 11:16pm spodiodi: saw that porridge and pickles headline earlier
	♥ 11:16pm Scott Williams: I will never ever ever get used to this empty radio station.
	11:16pm Bri The Beatnik: That’s good you’re pressing forward Pumpy! Me too!
	♥ 11:18pm Mr. Pumpy: vj...AND sausages?! The heart wants what it wants. I hope they get the hell out of their soon. Scary stuff.
	♥ 11:18pm Franco Twinkie: Spending all day in my pajamas has become the new norm. I've lost interest in trying to look decent.
	♥ 11:18pm spodiodi: thanks for being there, Scott Williams 🙏
	♥ 11:19pm coelacanth∅: what food would YOU request if you were trapped in a mine?
	♥ 11:19pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...excellent! Here's to keeping at it!
	♥ 11:19pm spodiodi: sardines and licorice.
	♥ 11:20pm spodiodi: maybe porridge too... idk
	♥ 11:20pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, Pizza, and them some pizza, after that just bring pizza. It's so well-friendly aside from being delicious.
	♥ 11:20pm Richy4619: Aww. The vocals for this Funky Piano song are also mid-90s gold for me. this track accompanied the New Jersey Drive soundtrack...
	♥ 11:20pm Ira: In one of the deleted scenes from Ace in the Hole, the Kirk Douglas character decides to let the guy caught in the mine not get rescued because he just finished a snack of sardines and licorice.
	♥ 11:21pm Franco Twinkie: I think a tube delivery system of rice pudding would be easy to facilitate.
	♥ 11:22pm Mr. Pumpy: 50 hard boiled eggs and an 86 ounce steak. Then come see what I want to eat.
	♥ 11:22pm spodiodi: i've never seen ace in the hole... but i think it's for the best after hearing that, Ira
	♥ 11:22pm coelacanth∅: then i guess sardines and licorice is out.
	11:23pm vj pussycat: a tasty number by my friend/fav sushi chef called mango bass and root beer on ice and bacon
	♥ 11:23pm spodiodi: phooey. no more spelunking for me
	♥ 11:24pm coelacanth∅: i'd like salmon teriyaki with vegetable, cooked rare. in fact i want that right now.
	♥ 11:25pm mariano: Lol, Mr. P! Sounds like those miners have their priorities in order. I hear you, Ira: I've been on the Accu off and on for what, around a dozen years iirc, been listening to FMU for ~23 years, but it's taken on such significance this last year.
	♥ 11:27pm coelacanth∅: porridge? mostly carbs that wont get burned...unless they're trying to dig their way out
	♥ 11:27pm mariano: A friend of mine has been really into congee lately, I need to check it out. It's something I've seen in Chinatown over the years but never gave it a try. It's a rice porridge that's a blank canvas, can be savory or sweet.
	♥ 11:30pm spodiodi: hope the rescuers get the temperature right on the porridge
	♥ 11:30pm coelacanth∅: what would you add to it?
	11:31pm Bri The Beatnik: I would want Ritz cheese bits
	♥ 11:31pm spodiodi: oh shucks: Goldilocks launches LEGAL ACTION as Three Bears’ porridge wasn’t gluten-free southendnewsnetwork.net...
	♥ 11:31pm coelacanth∅: haha ... do you want that right now?!
	♥ 11:31pm Chop Scott: A pal in France is trying to convince me to try "Tyrkisk peber"--a salty licorice candy dissolved into a bottle of vodka. I am quite skeptical.
	11:31pm Bri The Beatnik: I have a big bag of snacks in my room, I’d take that, maybe some French toast crunch, but I’d need to refrigerate the Sunny Delight that I like to accompany it
	♥ 11:32pm Aitch: Can't go wrong with the vodka part
	♥ 11:32pm mariano: coela: I'd add duck and scallions for sure. I bet Vietnamese roast pork would be good in it too.
	11:33pm Bri The Beatnik: I’d bring a cooler ;)
	♥ 11:33pm coelacanth∅: i don't know about tyrkisk peber, but some hot chocolate with sambuca added would be a good afternoon treat
	♥ 11:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Franco, that could work. It would take some figuring, but it has a good chance.
	♥ 11:34pm Aitch: you sexy thing
	♥ 11:34pm Ira: I would definitely try the Tyrkisk peber if I were where it was a local specialty. Equally sure I would not go into the bar on the corner and order one.
	♥ 11:34pm Paulo AD: Morning all :)
	♥ 11:34pm Paulo AD: Mariano, how you feeling after your birthday ?
	♥ 11:35pm Aitch: If he needs congee, he must be hurting
	♥ 11:36pm Mr. Pumpy: Bri...I don't think you can so much 'take' things as request them once in the collapsed mine. This limits one's options. But hey...it's all fair game I guess, being a hypothetical situation and all!
	♥ 11:37pm coelacanth∅: yes - i would try the tyrkisk peber. i'll try damn near anything if it's not part of an animal. (and a few things that are)
	♥ 11:38pm coelacanth∅: well, if she requests a cooler be sent down, then they have to drill a hole big enough for a cooler to slide through; then the miners can trick them and crawl out through that hole!
	11:38pm vj pussycat: i would def try the licorice vodka thing - as long as it's black licorice
	♥ 11:39pm coelacanth∅: i like black licorice, just not a big vodka fan
	♥ 11:42pm mariano: Tyrkisk peber, wouldn't that be Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian for Turkish pepper?
	♥ 11:44pm mariano: Møøse bites kän be pretti nasti...
	11:44pm Bri The Beatnik: I don’t like Black licorice
	♥ 11:45pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, did you ever go to Congee Village on Allen St. just south of Delancey? It is a wonderful, multi-level Chinese food establishment, emphasis on the Cantonese cuisine, with karaoke rooms in the basement and all manner of bars and tables throughout. I never thought to look up the meaning of 'congee' in the past. They make an insane Mai-Tai, and are also one of the few places in town that serve geoduck. It is a great place to go to before and after shows. I have hit it many times while catching tunes at the Bowery Ballroom.
	♥ 11:45pm Ira: So that's one virgin peber for mariano, and a Tyrkisk straight up for Bri the Beatnik. Back with your drinks in a flash.
	♥ 11:45pm coelacanth∅: no way mariano, they're a delicacy!
	♥ 11:45pm Mr. Pumpy: IRA! This tune is hitting me in all of the proper spots! Thanks, brother.
	11:45pm Lori from Eau Claire: Great...oscillations!
	♥ 11:46pm Mr. Pumpy: Makes sense this is on Feeding Tube. Lovely, it is.
	♥ 11:49pm Chop Scott: "Tyrkisk peber" is Finnish. Very salty and spicy, made for years by the company Fazar.
	11:49pm vj pussycat: this track is sublime indeed
	♥ 11:49pm Franco Twinkie: This a beautiful and thoughtful jam. It put's me someplace beyond my own circular ruminations.
	♥ 11:50pm coelacanth∅: i wish i'd known about congee village -or maybe it wasn't there when i was going to shows downtown a lot. i don't get into the city much any more. (which i'm fine with)
	♥ 11:50pm mariano: I don't mind licorice but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. I'm not a huge fan of pastis and other licorice-tasting booze though. Well, I guess absinthe. Back when I drank, that is. Mr. P: No, I never went to that one, sounds amazing. My late-night go-to spot was Great NY Noodle Town. I love the noodle soup with duck and shrimp dumplings. Last time I was there, a few years back, I was reminded of how difficult it is to pull off seeming sober while eating noodle soup. It was embarrassing because I was sitting at a big table with strangers whispering to each other. Ah, thanks, Chop Scott.
	♥ 11:51pm Mr. Pumpy: coel, it opened in 1996
	♥ 11:53pm coelacanth∅: damn. i went to dozens of shows on lower manhatten between 1996 and 2001.
	♥ 11:53pm Chop Scott: So glad that you are here on the air and navigating the remote situation Ira. Cheers to you, Georgia & Scott W.!
	♥ 11:55pm Mr. Pumpy: Damn...this Spiral Wave Nomads is making me miss playing the guitar. I have been suffering pretty extreme carpal tunnel pain and numbness which I ignored for a year being I was looking after my pops. I finally went to a hand specialist a few weeks ago, and after some tests...I am cleared for a simple surgery that is going to fix it almost immediately. I'm so stoked I'll soon be pain free in my hands again. Doubly stoked I can begin to work on music for the first time in a while. Spiral Wave Nomads is inspiring!
	♥ 11:55pm mariano: The places I tended to go back to were Thai Son and Pho Pasteur for Vietnamese, New Green Bo for cheap eats, Prosperity Dumpling for pot sticker (great scallion pancakes too), though I guess they got shut down when they busted them making dumplings in the alley behind the building, lol. North Star had good dumplings too. And then, when there were enough of us, Jing Fong and Golden Unicorn for dim sum. That's one thing I really miss; no dim sum in NOLA. Great Vietnamese though, and a lot of it's taken on its own Creole edge. Thank you Ira, Scott! Hope to see everyone at TomDash's!
	♥ 11:55pm Ira: Thanks for listening, everyone. Thanks for commenting, those what did. Let's all raise a double Tyrkisk peber to our new president and vice-president.
	♥ 11:55pm Hoboken Jack: I dug that Spiral Wave Nomads a lot. Thanks Ira, Georgia, Scott! Happy new America, everybody!
	♥ 11:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Ira! ✌️
	♥ 11:57pm mariano: Glad you'll be pain-free soon, Mr. P! And a big "¡A la vuestra!" for Joe and Kamala, Raphael and Joe!
	♥ 11:58pm coelacanth∅: hear hear clink and hopes for escape for the trapped miners
	♥ 11:58pm Mr. Pumpy: Thank you, Ira. Good to see you all! I have the Chinese miners in my thoughts. May they have sausages and porridge until they ar freed and returned to there loved ones. Seriously, folks...it could always be worse. Perspective is key.
	♥ 11:58pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, mariano!
	♥ 11:59pm Franco Twinkie: This was a great Tuesday night diversion. Thank you Ira, I'll be back.
	11:59pm Lori from Eau Claire: Cheers and thank you!
	♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Ira! take care everone
	11:59pm vj pussycat: excellent three hours that was. thanks ira and goodnight to y'all
	♥ 11:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Franco, I concur
	11:59pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Thanks for the great show, Ira!
	♥ 12:00am Matt Fiveash: What'd I miss?
	♥ 12:00am Mr. Pumpy: IRA! IRA! IRA! IRA! (shouted from a crowded stadium)
	12:01am vj pussycat: ps. great night of art videos and random stuff at cathode cinema on twitch - right now a film from nyc
