	9:22am DANIELL: Thank you for playing Standing on the Corner, u da best
	9:23am dano59: Fridays are generally hi-NRG Clay days (we sound like the staff and residents on a psych ward, i swear)
	👻 9:26am karlward: $5 says that JA will play the Information Society's "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy Mix)" in this set
	👻 9:26am karlward: Overplayed 80s synth pop is the real jazz

	👻 9:27am karlward: Worst request, so far
	9:28am steveo: there's always next week
	9:30am Lixiviated Life: 30 minutes in, and no allergic reaction
	👻 9:31am karlward: OK OK this is better than Info Society
	9:32am George of Troy: Hey John... good morning
	9:32am avg_schnook: what album is thisfrom: Kiyoaki Iwamoto which track
	9:32am disantlor: this track aligns perfectly with the dancing hand puppet gif on wfmu homepage. was tripping out for a second
	9:32am John Allen: only Natural Information Society here.
	9:33am John Allen: Mornin George
	9:35am Creston: I always ride from Clay into this show straight through the day. Don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t stream WFMU at work
	9:36am Creston: Loving this set by the way!!
	9:36am listener 126464: Hi John, everyone.
	9:37am Doug in JC: Somebody flushed a toilet and my radio went to static for a second. I think I need an engineer
	9:40am yetibob: JA - I love Natural Information, have had a chance to see them many times in Chicago, once in a cemetery
	9:40am steveo: i walked through bedford stuy alone
	9:42am Ike: I dreamt that I was at somebody's house (maybe it was JA, but probably not) and there were cornmeal-flour-based baked goods shaped like hamentaschen (but without the jam) all over their back yard. Just sitting on the grass, clean. And they were delicious. And then some jerk who looked a bit like Ariel Pink started raking the leaves and I was like, "Don't rake up the snacks!" So if you have a back yard, JA, check it for baked goods.
	9:43am Deborah: Clay started out so mellow and calm but energies changed, as can happen. I just turn down what doesn't resonate with me.
	9:43am yetibob: Doug - you need an expert in magnetohydrodynamics
	9:45am Creston: I love when Clay hits all cylinders
	9:46am James Beckett: Yo JA, thanks for the super tunes, kicked my ass back into contributing. Sorry it took me so long!! Explore them shadows mama...
	9:46am Strandlund: I agree Creston...I'm so glad to be able to stream WFMU at work. I listen all week. I've converted a lot of my fellow employees into fans of this station!
	9:46am John Allen: clay is the piston
	9:47am SheWolf: I can't with morning screams and hyperactivity. I begin FMU at 9.
	👻 9:48am PortsmouthJay: JA -- Did you read the article in the latest WIRE about Patricia Brennan's new release? It's so good and to me, soothing.
	9:48am Creston: @Strandlund same here. I work at a coffee shop and have turned on most of the staff here. It’s a daily soundtrack in the kitchen
	9:50am yetibob: Doug - if the vortex in the toilet gets to critical velocity it could be producing radiation
	9:52am steveo: i biked on riverside drive alone, something something combat zone
	9:53am steveo: coincidentally, there were a lot of potholes (not so smooth)
	9:53am John Allen: Hey PJ/ yep / album is outstanding
	9:58am Vixo: ha ha ha ha this is bonkers!!! Love it!!
	9:59am terminalhipness: Whoa is this still Jay Hoggard?
	10:00am John Allen: hoggard: sick vernon reid guitar played out that ending
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @John Allen: No doubt! I think my favorite Reid might be that album he did with Bill Frisell.
	10:02am terminalhipness: Thanks JA! That took off unexpectedly (but nice)
	10:03am Ike: @SheWolf, same. My waking mode is "slow, creaky, cranky ol' bastard". That... uh... does not resonate with the morning show's energy.
	10:04am goodman: love this
	10:05am ?: Is that a coke bottle?
	10:06am Creston: This kickssssss assss! Killer jam!
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm a creaky ole bastard in the AM too (especially before coffee...don't talk to me then!) but I like Clay's optimism. Especially now after all that's fallen on top of us.
	10:08am Creston: Watch out for those horn stabs!! They are sharp!
	10:08am Ike: I do a Benjamin Button every day, looking and acting like I'm 70 (get off my lawn... and its baked goods!) when I wake up, and then losing 30-ish years off that by lunchtime as my consciousness slowly spins up.
	10:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Ike My wife is the exact opposite of me in that respect. I'll bring the coffee into the living room and sit down. A minute later she might start "I think that tomorrow night we should..." ...and I point to my cup of coffee and frown. "Oh...sorry!" Morning people...sheesh!! Heh.
	10:13am steveo: no stabs in that silky trombone solo
	10:16am ?: Anyone know if it's a raag Friday for Bryce?
	10:16am Passaic River Blues: New Ark's Own
	10:16am terminalhipness: I wish "Blackstone..." vinyl didn't cost >$200
	10:20am ?: Shaw played with Nathan Davis for a couple of great LPs.
	👻 10:24am YETI BOB: I've started waking up earlier and earlier. Never used to be a "morning person" but I guess I am now. I'm really grateful that Clay is there for me when I wake up at 5AM!
	10:26am Bucky Dent: my ear wax smells like haddock
	👻 10:27am YETI BOB: @Bucky: Have you been listening to Phish?
	10:29am Bucky Dent: haha that must be it, damn hippies
	10:30am Krys O.: I wake up at 4:30 am Monday through Friday. By the time WnB comes on I am just about out the door to commute to work. I listen as I walk and take NJ Transit. When I get to the office, I have a brief window when I can drink my cup of coffee, eat an apple and listen to FMU at a comfortable volume, but that changes when co-workers come in. I keep the volume down. As a lifelong insomniac, mornings and evenings can blend into one another. I have deep conversations with my cats who are my roommates in my pod.
	👻 10:31am Handy Haversack: I'm here! I'm here! Gah, sorry I missed so much. JA, can you play it all again? Also: greetings, JA, J'All.
	10:31am Bucky Dent: your pod? are you at rikers island?
	10:31am steveo: may i see your late pass, handy?
	10:32am goodman: nice jam!
	10:32am Krys O.: Forgot to add that before 6 am, I get to tune into Emily, Jessie, Time Traveler, Bill Zebub, and Stan. I stan them all.
	👻 10:32am Handy Haversack: Er, sure, steveo, it's uh, right here, under this five-dollar bill.
	10:32am steveo: sweet!
	10:34am Krys O.: @Bucky: A pod in these pandemic times refers to those with whom you share living spaces and microbes.
	10:35am Bucky Dent: okay great, i wont be using that term.
	👻 10:38am Devin B.: Yep. Done with em.
	10:39am seedfriend: Feeling the burn
	10:41am Krys O.: OMG, Ike! I just read your Ariel Pink dream. LOL!
	👻 10:41am YETI BOB: How about some Bernie Worrell memes?
	👻 10:43am karlward: As a culture we just completely skipped the Ben Bernanke memes.
	10:43am Creston: Got lots of love for Tom Verlaine. He put out some great solo stuff on Thrill Jockey way back
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: @karlward: just for you imgur.com...
	👻 10:49am karlward: YETI: you truly know the meaning of jazz
	👻 10:49am Handy Haversack: Testify, YB!
	👻 10:50am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:50am Yes: hello all
	👻 10:51am YETI BOB: @karlward: also i just found this, haha www.marketwatch.com...
	10:51am Ike: @Krys, I know, right? But it also might've been Jared Leto. Somebody sleazy, anyway.
	10:53am John Allen: Ike, I'm going to have to ask you to do a rewrite of the ariel pink piece, it could use a jazz foil and a whodunnit ending.
	👻 10:53am karlward: YETI: with his superpowers of credit freeze breath, and quantitative heating vision
	👻 10:54am Handy Haversack: Bizarro Bernanke interest rates YOU!
	👻 10:55am karlward: Years later, when they're like "what was it that killed the Internet?" people are going to point to this show, and they'll say "it was jazz, and Ben Bernanke memes, that's what killed the Internet."
	10:56am Krys O.: Jared Leto looks really creepy in his latest film, The Little Things. I mean, creepier.
	10:56am Krys O.: IMO, Ariel is writing his own nightmare in real life.
	👻 10:58am karlward: Wow this went from a "two or more songs playing at once" vibe into a really cohesive jammer
	10:58am Creston: Wow!!!!!
	11:01am Passaic River Blues: Word, that was a grower.
	👻 11:01am Handy Haversack: I'm not saying it was Mary Halvorson's fault, but I just knocked the laptop off this idiotic jury-rigged, jerry-built standing desk for the first time.
	11:05am John Allen: handy, sounds like studio a here
	11:06am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy JA and JAzzmeisters!
	11:06am steveo: if i had a dollar for every time mary halvorson made me drop something
	11:11am David (in London): Late-joining groover reporting for duty. I had the world's most ridiculous meeting, but now I'm free to soak up at least an hour of JA in the PM.
	👻 11:12am Handy Haversack: All flamingos and marmalade, David?
	11:12am tim from champaign (now washington): @DiL - How ridiculous was it?
	👻 11:14am karlward: "These flamingos aren't even vaguely pink. Wot's all this then?" --David (in London)
	11:16am David (in London): At one point I was trying so hard not to laugh I did the old Harry Palmer pen jabbed into the hand trick. Then I looked up and saw my colleague trying immensely hard not to laugh, too, and I had to turn off the video and audio and just let it out.
	11:16am Hubig Pie: Feed 'em more algae and brine shrimp, that'll bring on the pink
	11:17am Carmichael: Heya JA and AM'ers. It's payday, and thus payback day.
	11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): This is Anne Murray - The Snow Queen? I new the Biden administration would bring back the soothing sounds of Anne Murray.
	👻 11:22am Jason from Houston: Hahaha... Glanced at the playlist and read "Anne Murray" for a second.
	👻 11:24am Jason from Houston: You know it's coming, Tim! She gonna take your guns away...
	11:25am Creston: This reminds me of Beach House . I dig it
	11:25am Creston: At least the beginning did
	11:29am Hubig Pie: I been stuck behind that truck
	11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): Fabio is literally the sound of failure?
	👻 11:30am Handy Haversack: Oh, HI, Fabio.
	11:30am Joe Mulligan: JA you just made my day. Can’t get enough of the Fabio Chocolate Egg Failure
	11:31am steveo: don't mention Fabio, there might be a fistfight
	11:31am sphere: Just wanted to hop in and say "wow" to the Daniel Knox song.
	11:33am miniteeny: I just got my first shot of nanobots :)
	11:33am Niall: What ho.
	11:34am Krys O.: Congrats, miniteeny!
	11:35am sphere: good on you, miniteeny :)
	11:35am David (in London): I bought at OTO tote bag since I can't attend any gigs there right now. It's small beans, but every little helps as they say.
	11:35am Niall: David (in London), I’m so excited to go there someday.
	11:35am Krys O.: I've gotta check the Tokuroku site at Cafe OTO.
	👻 11:37am YETI BOB: I can't quite believe I did this but I did. I blame Karlward :) imgur.com...
	11:37am sphere: @ Krys O: It's really really good.
	11:38am Krys O.: Ooh, Cafe OTO downloads for sale: www.cafeoto.co.uk...
	11:38am mei2ti3: sick of all the tom verlaine memes
	11:38am Passaic River Blues: @Yeti Bob: Bravo!
	11:38am Krys O.: I know, sphere. I've been loving what Olivia has featured on Radio Ravioli.
	11:39am sphere: I need to catch up on Olivia's show. Work tends to swallow me up on Mondays.
	11:41am Krys O.: I get to listen to Olivia on my commute home. It makes for a pleasant experience.
	👻 11:42am Handy Haversack: Never apologize, YB!
	11:42am David (in London): Niall. Well, I'll meet you for a show and some drinks there sometime.
	👻 11:43am YETI BOB: HH: No apology but I just surprised myself, I've never actually made a meme before. I've always enjoyed this format, though.
	👻 11:43am Handy Haversack: Scott W. has also played some great Cafe OTO tracks. I picked up an album after hearing a track from him. Nice one, miniteeny!
	11:43am Passaic River Blues: @sphere: same. I listened to Olivia more in the old time slot; now it's catch-as-catch-can archive dabbling.
	11:44am Krys O.: A friend in London went to see Linda Sharrock at Cafe OTO in 2015 and they described it as a religious experience.
	11:45am Krys O.: Right, Handy! Scott too and that's another commuting home show.
	👻 11:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning. Dropping in late to JAZZ up just a little.
	11:47am Krys O.: I like to spread my meagre donations around to musicians, artists, the ACLU, animal rescue, etc. It's better than tithing to a religion.
	👻 11:47am Handy Haversack: Lately during Olivia's show Kate has one of her more involved teaching sessions and takes over the front room. So I move to the middle room and sit down and Monday catches up with me, and I often drowse a little between 4 and 5, which can sometimes be a cool ride with her selections. Then I make us drinks for when Kate finishes at 5.
	11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): @Krys O - that sounds pretty amazing being able to see Linda Sharrock.
	11:51am Ike: Pursuant to JA's request: I dreamt that I was at somebody's house (maybe JA) and there were cornmeal-flour-based baked goods shaped like hamentaschen (but without jam) all over their back yard. Just sitting on the grass, clean. And they were delicious. And then Jelly Roll Morton started raking the leaves and I was like, "Don't rake up the snacks!" And then a shrouded figure stabbed Jelly Roll Morton dead with a very sharp baguette. TO BE CONTINUED?
	11:52am steveo: needs jam
	11:52am steveo: ja jan jam
	👻 11:52am YETI BOB: No jam, but jelly! I like it.
	👻 11:53am joe mulligan: my father did vibe to Anne Murray. He was also friends w Joe Biden
	11:53am David (in London): The amazing thing was that OTO was only supposed to ever be a pop-up. The building (a former printworks) was due for demolition, but it had a reprieve, and by that time the place was so firmly established on the international circuit, that it's managed to make it permanent. The calibre of performer they get there is astonishing. I never thought I would ever get to see Art Ensemble of Chicago and Annette Peacock and This Heat on my doorstep. The only drawback is that man, in the summer, it's like a blast-furnace with the doors closed.
	👻 11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Now I'm pining for jelly rolls like my dear mother used to make.
	11:54am steveo: only for @joe ,my mom made a dress for jill (not-yet) biden in the early 70s... they had mutual friends who taught at st. marks
	11:55am ami ad: Thank you DJ. Crew.
	👻 11:56am Handy Haversack: Thanks, JA! I owe you an hour and a half. There has to be a way! Be well, J'All.
	11:56am Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks John Allen! Have a nice weekend !
	👻 11:56am joe mulligan: @Steveo that is too cool!! love it
	11:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks JA!
	11:57am Creston: Awesome show!!!
	👻 11:57am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:58am terminalhipness: Thank you JA, another great show.
	11:58am listener 126464: Thanks JA and crew!
	👻 11:58am YETI BOB: Thank you everyone. I had fun this morning. TGIF!
	11:58am Passaic River Blues: Superb showing, Mister Allen!
	11:58am John Allen: www.clearsky.art
	11:58am David (in London): Thanks JA, you saved the afternoon for me.
	12:00pm Krys O.: Thanks, JA! @David in London. Same friend saw Annette Peacock at OTO.
	12:00pm PaulRobeson1920: Thanks JA!
	12:01pm steveo: great show; thanks JA
	12:01pm Lixiviated Life: 180 minutes and still here
	11:11am Avrilinmay: looking at the fully completed info columns in this show, and picturing the look on John's face as he was filling them :D

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from January 22, 2021

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.)

	👻 9:26am karlward: Overplayed 80s synth pop is the real jazz
	9:26am steveo: that's the worst way to phrase a request i can recall seeing, karl
	👻 9:27am karlward: Worst request, so far
	9:28am steveo: there's always next week
	9:30am Lixiviated Life: 30 minutes in, and no allergic reaction
	👻 9:31am karlward: OK OK this is better than Info Society
	9:32am George of Troy: Hey John... good morning
	9:32am avg_schnook: what album is thisfrom: Kiyoaki Iwamoto which track
	9:32am disantlor: this track aligns perfectly with the dancing hand puppet gif on wfmu homepage. was tripping out for a second
	9:32am John Allen: only Natural Information Society here.
	9:33am John Allen: Mornin George
	9:35am Creston: I always ride from Clay into this show straight through the day. Don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t stream WFMU at work
	9:36am Creston: Loving this set by the way!!
	9:36am listener 126464: Hi John, everyone.
	9:37am Doug in JC: Somebody flushed a toilet and my radio went to static for a second. I think I need an engineer
	9:40am yetibob: JA - I love Natural Information, have had a chance to see them many times in Chicago, once in a cemetery
	9:40am steveo: i walked through bedford stuy alone
	9:42am Ike: I dreamt that I was at somebody's house (maybe it was JA, but probably not) and there were cornmeal-flour-based baked goods shaped like hamentaschen (but without the jam) all over their back yard. Just sitting on the grass, clean. And they were delicious. And then some jerk who looked a bit like Ariel Pink started raking the leaves and I was like, "Don't rake up the snacks!" So if you have a back yard, JA, check it for baked goods.
	9:43am Deborah: Clay started out so mellow and calm but energies changed, as can happen. I just turn down what doesn't resonate with me.
	9:43am yetibob: Doug - you need an expert in magnetohydrodynamics
	9:45am Creston: I love when Clay hits all cylinders
	9:46am James Beckett: Yo JA, thanks for the super tunes, kicked my ass back into contributing. Sorry it took me so long!! Explore them shadows mama...
	9:46am Strandlund: I agree Creston...I'm so glad to be able to stream WFMU at work. I listen all week. I've converted a lot of my fellow employees into fans of this station!
	9:46am John Allen: clay is the piston
	9:47am SheWolf: I can't with morning screams and hyperactivity. I begin FMU at 9.
	👻 9:48am PortsmouthJay: JA -- Did you read the article in the latest WIRE about Patricia Brennan's new release? It's so good and to me, soothing.
	9:48am Creston: @Strandlund same here. I work at a coffee shop and have turned on most of the staff here. It’s a daily soundtrack in the kitchen
	9:50am yetibob: Doug - if the vortex in the toilet gets to critical velocity it could be producing radiation
	9:52am steveo: i biked on riverside drive alone, something something combat zone
	9:53am steveo: coincidentally, there were a lot of potholes (not so smooth)
	9:53am John Allen: Hey PJ/ yep / album is outstanding
	9:58am Vixo: ha ha ha ha this is bonkers!!! Love it!!
	9:59am terminalhipness: Whoa is this still Jay Hoggard?
	10:00am John Allen: hoggard: sick vernon reid guitar played out that ending
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @John Allen: No doubt! I think my favorite Reid might be that album he did with Bill Frisell.
	10:02am terminalhipness: Thanks JA! That took off unexpectedly (but nice)
	10:03am Ike: @SheWolf, same. My waking mode is "slow, creaky, cranky ol' bastard". That... uh... does not resonate with the morning show's energy.
	10:04am goodman: love this
	10:05am ?: Is that a coke bottle?
	10:06am Creston: This kickssssss assss! Killer jam!
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm a creaky ole bastard in the AM too (especially before coffee...don't talk to me then!) but I like Clay's optimism. Especially now after all that's fallen on top of us.
	10:08am Creston: Watch out for those horn stabs!! They are sharp!
	10:08am Ike: I do a Benjamin Button every day, looking and acting like I'm 70 (get off my lawn... and its baked goods!) when I wake up, and then losing 30-ish years off that by lunchtime as my consciousness slowly spins up.
	10:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Ike My wife is the exact opposite of me in that respect. I'll bring the coffee into the living room and sit down. A minute later she might start "I think that tomorrow night we should..." ...and I point to my cup of coffee and frown. "Oh...sorry!" Morning people...sheesh!! Heh.
	10:13am steveo: no stabs in that silky trombone solo
	10:16am ?: Anyone know if it's a raag Friday for Bryce?
	10:16am Passaic River Blues: New Ark's Own
	10:16am terminalhipness: I wish "Blackstone..." vinyl didn't cost >$200
	10:20am ?: Shaw played with Nathan Davis for a couple of great LPs.
	👻 10:24am YETI BOB: I've started waking up earlier and earlier. Never used to be a "morning person" but I guess I am now. I'm really grateful that Clay is there for me when I wake up at 5AM!
	10:26am Bucky Dent: my ear wax smells like haddock
	👻 10:27am YETI BOB: @Bucky: Have you been listening to Phish?
	10:29am Bucky Dent: haha that must be it, damn hippies
	10:30am Krys O.: I wake up at 4:30 am Monday through Friday. By the time WnB comes on I am just about out the door to commute to work. I listen as I walk and take NJ Transit. When I get to the office, I have a brief window when I can drink my cup of coffee, eat an apple and listen to FMU at a comfortable volume, but that changes when co-workers come in. I keep the volume down. As a lifelong insomniac, mornings and evenings can blend into one another. I have deep conversations with my cats who are my roommates in my pod.
	👻 10:31am Handy Haversack: I'm here! I'm here! Gah, sorry I missed so much. JA, can you play it all again? Also: greetings, JA, J'All.
	10:31am Bucky Dent: your pod? are you at rikers island?
	10:31am steveo: may i see your late pass, handy?
	10:32am goodman: nice jam!
	10:32am Krys O.: Forgot to add that before 6 am, I get to tune into Emily, Jessie, Time Traveler, Bill Zebub, and Stan. I stan them all.
	👻 10:32am Handy Haversack: Er, sure, steveo, it's uh, right here, under this five-dollar bill.
	10:32am steveo: sweet!
	10:34am Krys O.: @Bucky: A pod in these pandemic times refers to those with whom you share living spaces and microbes.
	10:35am Bucky Dent: okay great, i wont be using that term.
	👻 10:38am Devin B.: Yep. Done with em.
	10:39am seedfriend: Feeling the burn
	10:41am Krys O.: OMG, Ike! I just read your Ariel Pink dream. LOL!
	👻 10:41am YETI BOB: How about some Bernie Worrell memes?
	👻 10:43am karlward: As a culture we just completely skipped the Ben Bernanke memes.
	10:43am Creston: Got lots of love for Tom Verlaine. He put out some great solo stuff on Thrill Jockey way back
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: @karlward: just for you imgur.com...
	👻 10:49am karlward: YETI: you truly know the meaning of jazz
	👻 10:49am Handy Haversack: Testify, YB!
	👻 10:50am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:50am Yes: hello all
	👻 10:51am YETI BOB: @karlward: also i just found this, haha www.marketwatch.com...
	10:51am Ike: @Krys, I know, right? But it also might've been Jared Leto. Somebody sleazy, anyway.
	10:53am John Allen: Ike, I'm going to have to ask you to do a rewrite of the ariel pink piece, it could use a jazz foil and a whodunnit ending.
	👻 10:53am karlward: YETI: with his superpowers of credit freeze breath, and quantitative heating vision
	👻 10:54am Handy Haversack: Bizarro Bernanke interest rates YOU!
	👻 10:55am karlward: Years later, when they're like "what was it that killed the Internet?" people are going to point to this show, and they'll say "it was jazz, and Ben Bernanke memes, that's what killed the Internet."
	10:56am Krys O.: Jared Leto looks really creepy in his latest film, The Little Things. I mean, creepier.
	10:56am Krys O.: IMO, Ariel is writing his own nightmare in real life.
	👻 10:58am karlward: Wow this went from a "two or more songs playing at once" vibe into a really cohesive jammer
	10:58am Creston: Wow!!!!!
	11:01am Passaic River Blues: Word, that was a grower.
	👻 11:01am Handy Haversack: I'm not saying it was Mary Halvorson's fault, but I just knocked the laptop off this idiotic jury-rigged, jerry-built standing desk for the first time.
	11:05am John Allen: handy, sounds like studio a here
	11:06am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy JA and JAzzmeisters!
	11:06am steveo: if i had a dollar for every time mary halvorson made me drop something
	11:11am David (in London): Late-joining groover reporting for duty. I had the world's most ridiculous meeting, but now I'm free to soak up at least an hour of JA in the PM.
	👻 11:12am Handy Haversack: All flamingos and marmalade, David?
	11:12am tim from champaign (now washington): @DiL - How ridiculous was it?
	👻 11:14am karlward: "These flamingos aren't even vaguely pink. Wot's all this then?" --David (in London)
	11:16am David (in London): At one point I was trying so hard not to laugh I did the old Harry Palmer pen jabbed into the hand trick. Then I looked up and saw my colleague trying immensely hard not to laugh, too, and I had to turn off the video and audio and just let it out.
	11:16am Hubig Pie: Feed 'em more algae and brine shrimp, that'll bring on the pink
	11:17am Carmichael: Heya JA and AM'ers. It's payday, and thus payback day.
	11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): This is Anne Murray - The Snow Queen? I new the Biden administration would bring back the soothing sounds of Anne Murray.
	👻 11:22am Jason from Houston: Hahaha... Glanced at the playlist and read "Anne Murray" for a second.
	👻 11:24am Jason from Houston: You know it's coming, Tim! She gonna take your guns away...
	11:25am Creston: This reminds me of Beach House . I dig it
	11:25am Creston: At least the beginning did
	11:29am Hubig Pie: I been stuck behind that truck
	11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): Fabio is literally the sound of failure?
	👻 11:30am Handy Haversack: Oh, HI, Fabio.
	11:30am Joe Mulligan: JA you just made my day. Can’t get enough of the Fabio Chocolate Egg Failure
	11:31am steveo: don't mention Fabio, there might be a fistfight
	11:31am sphere: Just wanted to hop in and say "wow" to the Daniel Knox song.
	11:33am miniteeny: I just got my first shot of nanobots :)
	11:33am Niall: What ho.
	11:34am Krys O.: Congrats, miniteeny!
	11:35am sphere: good on you, miniteeny :)
	11:35am David (in London): I bought at OTO tote bag since I can't attend any gigs there right now. It's small beans, but every little helps as they say.
	11:35am Niall: David (in London), I’m so excited to go there someday.
	11:35am Krys O.: I've gotta check the Tokuroku site at Cafe OTO.
	👻 11:37am YETI BOB: I can't quite believe I did this but I did. I blame Karlward :) imgur.com...
	11:37am sphere: @ Krys O: It's really really good.
	11:38am Krys O.: Ooh, Cafe OTO downloads for sale: www.cafeoto.co.uk...
	11:38am mei2ti3: sick of all the tom verlaine memes
	11:38am Passaic River Blues: @Yeti Bob: Bravo!
	11:38am Krys O.: I know, sphere. I've been loving what Olivia has featured on Radio Ravioli.
	11:39am sphere: I need to catch up on Olivia's show. Work tends to swallow me up on Mondays.
	11:41am Krys O.: I get to listen to Olivia on my commute home. It makes for a pleasant experience.
	👻 11:42am Handy Haversack: Never apologize, YB!
	11:42am David (in London): Niall. Well, I'll meet you for a show and some drinks there sometime.
	👻 11:43am YETI BOB: HH: No apology but I just surprised myself, I've never actually made a meme before. I've always enjoyed this format, though.
	👻 11:43am Handy Haversack: Scott W. has also played some great Cafe OTO tracks. I picked up an album after hearing a track from him. Nice one, miniteeny!
	11:43am Passaic River Blues: @sphere: same. I listened to Olivia more in the old time slot; now it's catch-as-catch-can archive dabbling.
	11:44am Krys O.: A friend in London went to see Linda Sharrock at Cafe OTO in 2015 and they described it as a religious experience.
	11:45am Krys O.: Right, Handy! Scott too and that's another commuting home show.
	👻 11:47am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning. Dropping in late to JAZZ up just a little.
	11:47am Krys O.: I like to spread my meagre donations around to musicians, artists, the ACLU, animal rescue, etc. It's better than tithing to a religion.
	👻 11:47am Handy Haversack: Lately during Olivia's show Kate has one of her more involved teaching sessions and takes over the front room. So I move to the middle room and sit down and Monday catches up with me, and I often drowse a little between 4 and 5, which can sometimes be a cool ride with her selections. Then I make us drinks for when Kate finishes at 5.
	11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): @Krys O - that sounds pretty amazing being able to see Linda Sharrock.
	11:51am Ike: Pursuant to JA's request: I dreamt that I was at somebody's house (maybe JA) and there were cornmeal-flour-based baked goods shaped like hamentaschen (but without jam) all over their back yard. Just sitting on the grass, clean. And they were delicious. And then Jelly Roll Morton started raking the leaves and I was like, "Don't rake up the snacks!" And then a shrouded figure stabbed Jelly Roll Morton dead with a very sharp baguette. TO BE CONTINUED?
	11:52am steveo: needs jam
	11:52am steveo: ja jan jam
	👻 11:52am YETI BOB: No jam, but jelly! I like it.
	👻 11:53am joe mulligan: my father did vibe to Anne Murray. He was also friends w Joe Biden
	11:53am David (in London): The amazing thing was that OTO was only supposed to ever be a pop-up. The building (a former printworks) was due for demolition, but it had a reprieve, and by that time the place was so firmly established on the international circuit, that it's managed to make it permanent. The calibre of performer they get there is astonishing. I never thought I would ever get to see Art Ensemble of Chicago and Annette Peacock and This Heat on my doorstep. The only drawback is that man, in the summer, it's like a blast-furnace with the doors closed.
	👻 11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: Now I'm pining for jelly rolls like my dear mother used to make.
	11:54am steveo: only for @joe ,my mom made a dress for jill (not-yet) biden in the early 70s... they had mutual friends who taught at st. marks
	11:55am ami ad: Thank you DJ. Crew.
	👻 11:56am Handy Haversack: Thanks, JA! I owe you an hour and a half. There has to be a way! Be well, J'All.
	11:56am Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks John Allen! Have a nice weekend !
	👻 11:56am joe mulligan: @Steveo that is too cool!! love it
	11:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks JA!
	11:57am Creston: Awesome show!!!
	👻 11:57am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:58am terminalhipness: Thank you JA, another great show.
	11:58am listener 126464: Thanks JA and crew!
	👻 11:58am YETI BOB: Thank you everyone. I had fun this morning. TGIF!
	11:58am Passaic River Blues: Superb showing, Mister Allen!
	11:58am John Allen: www.clearsky.art
	11:58am David (in London): Thanks JA, you saved the afternoon for me.
	12:00pm Krys O.: Thanks, JA! @David in London. Same friend saw Annette Peacock at OTO.
	12:00pm PaulRobeson1920: Thanks JA!
	12:01pm steveo: great show; thanks JA
	12:01pm Lixiviated Life: 180 minutes and still here
	11:11am Avrilinmay: looking at the fully completed info columns in this show, and picturing the look on John's face as he was filling them :D
