	12:22pm rw: How-dee. Teenage girls, huh?
	12:23pm Ruth Luwisch: Hey Chuck! Loving this weird show!
	12:23pm coelacanth∅: Charlie when i was little i wanted people to start calling me Chuck... probably inspired by peppermint patti in the peanuts comics
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: this is almost a cross between the sabre dance and the first track on the first flying lizards album
	12:25pm Webhamster Henry: There's a good Chuck on Pushing Daisies.
	12:25pm Webhamster Henry: Nino Rota is rotating.
	12:26pm Roberto: How much good could a good Chuck chuck?

	12:34pm Charlie: I see ya, Mike!
	12:34pm Roberto: My grandfather's legal name was David but in the 35 years I knew him, no one ever called him that. He was always Charlie.

	12:44pm Sem: Doin' nothing, I see, Stanley & coel. Good on you both.
	12:44pm Handy Haversack: (Was making lunch.) I don't think I had heard the Solange original! There's a good cover by Big Joanie that was getting some FMU airplay and is easily found in the archives or Bandcamp -- their album is excellent.
	12:44pm Roberto: There was also a great cover of this Melanie tune released last year for NJ covid relief.
	12:44pm spodiodi: Peter, i'm not doubting that, but Rodney claimed something about his getting Bowie played/breaking him in the US in the doc i saw a decade-ish ago
	12:44pm Charlie: Handy -- haven't heard the cover!
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: shh, Sem, i'm BUSY - busy busy busy...
	12:47pm spodiodi: Memphis Minnie's is a good bbq place in SF www.memphisminnies.com
	12:47pm spodiodi: for those who dig on swine
	12:49pm Sem: Nice blaze there, 'spodi'. Apple wood, by its aroma.
	12:50pm Stanley: Whaddya mean Sem? I'm on the spreadsheets with one hand, cooking supper with the other and sweeping the floor with the.....well you know.
	12:50pm Handy Haversack: An excellent story about Sister Rosetta Tharp and Memphis Minnie saving the world from racism by using music and alien fungi: apex-magazine.com...
	12:50pm spodiodi: thanks and aloha, S'em! there may be a little of that in there, but it's mostly juniper
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: (spodi's burnin' commie books again)
	12:52pm Sem: Ah, Stanley: you are the calm centre in the midst of samsara.
	12:53pm Ruth Luwisch: Thankful for so much including this show and your mention of all these great women! Loved the Melanie song, so inspiring.
	12:54pm brattleboro mike: High tide!
	12:54pm Rick from SC: Charlie, thanks for reminding me about Heather Cox Richardson. I had been meaning to sign up for here daily writings
	12:54pm Jerry: Ah Laurie Anderson. She is artist in residence at Museum of Contemporary Art in MA. an Amazing woman
	12:55pm Jerry: Then again, there was the concert for Dogs that her and Lou Reed did, I think in Australia, maybe?
	12:55pm spodiodi: Handy, thanks for the link (looks more impressive than her work with Sister Mary Elephant, at a glance... bookmarked)
	12:57pm Uncle Michael: Hello!
	12:57pm Roberto: Wow, HC Richardson is a very youthful-looking 59.
	12:58pm spodiodi: aloha, Uncle Michael!
	12:58pm Jerry: Miley? quite the diverse selections eh?
	12:58pm Charlie: Hi Uncle Michael!
	12:59pm Roberto: From Laurie to Miley? Now you just flexin'.
	12:59pm Charlie: The video for this song is one amazingly choreographed single camera shot. Story behind how I came to this song. Will share on mic.
	1:00pm Jerry: long way from watching her with my kids on Disney :P
	1:00pm spodiodi: lol Roberto
	1:00pm Doug Schulkind: Miss this radio show? Nothing doing!
	1:00pm steveo: when you realize that song you are liking might be popular :)
	1:01pm Charlie: Howdy, Doug!
	1:02pm Roberto: Oy vey I got so wrapped up in Miley I totally forgot about my 1pm meeting.
	1:03pm Doug Schulkind: Howdy, Chaz!
	1:03pm Hubig Pie: My fav Monkees song that I never knew was penned by Ms King
	1:03pm spodiodi: me either, Hubig
	1:05pm Webhamster Henry: I hate people who recline their bus seats.#whoihate
	1:05pm spodiodi: mmm rice pudding
	1:05pm Charlie: The list of songs Ms. King wrote for other acts is vast!
	1:05pm brattleboro mike: full disclosure- best to be specific
	1:06pm Webhamster Henry: Pleasant Valley Sunday shows up in the new Wandavision.
	1:06pm Hubig Pie: Not as hard as eating jello with chopsticks
	1:06pm eºIºk: Tantor Audio! They put out some really good stuff. (And also some really terrible stuff.)
	1:06pm Charlie: Don't leave anything out, Lydia
	1:07pm spodiodi: DO NOT USE THE BATHROOM WHILE AT THE STATION
	1:07pm Roberto: Airplane seat recliners = worst people in history
	1:07pm Webhamster Henry: My Ex took classes with Lydia Davis for a few years.
	1:08pm Phillippe Bastille: Does Dave Dischelle know about this song?
	👻 1:08pm doctorjazz: Always a pleasure to hear the Roche's, saw them many times back in the day.
	1:08pm chresti in tennis booth: wEBhAM- I bump the back of the reclined seat.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: i don't like red nail polish - especially dark red; could you please decorate them with another color?
	1:08pm Charlie: What kind of classes, Henry? That's one of my fave books of recent years:)
	1:08pm Webhamster Henry: Dave can probably find a Croatian cover of it!
	1:08pm spodiodi: recline button is there to be used. don't like mine? use yours to ake the same space for yourself
	1:09pm Handy Haversack: "Commuter train"! (I do the back-up parts for Kate when this song comes on! Kate might disagree about "do" and "parts.")
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: @Charlie It was a writing class. I think they met up in Albany.
	1:09pm spodiodi: people who dig their knees (or let their kids do the same should be ejected) -- happens reclined or not
	👻 1:10pm doctorjazz: We are miserable... Love it!
	1:10pm eºIºk: Speaking of which, The Taste of Empire: How Britain’s Quest for Food Shaped the Modern World looks really interesting. Anybody read/listened to that?
	1:10pm spodiodi: hah Handy
	1:10pm Phillippe Bastille: My family prefers that I limit my back-up vocals to instrumental songs
	1:10pm βrian: Oh, how lovely to come home to the Roches.
	1:12pm chresti in tennis booth: Someone in a store/gallery asked me if I was one of the Roches. This is one of the only times I ever heard them. Back to work..
	1:14pm sphere: hi peoples. hello Charlie
	1:14pm brattleboro mike: Charlie that was a great set! Thanks!
	1:14pm Phillippe Bastille: hey sphere
	1:15pm sphere: nice to see you PB :)
	1:18pm Handy Haversack: Hey, sphere!
	1:20pm Ruth Luwisch: I love Mama C too! Amazing woman. Funny too.
	1:20pm Phillippe Bastille: nice little fire you have going there spodi -- I've been holding up several of those tiny marshmallows you put in hot cocoa next to my screen, but they aren't toasting
	1:21pm Ruth Luwisch: Really happy to be ace-ing the math quiz when commenting!
	1:21pm listener james from westwood: Ton of well-deserved clicky-stars on this U.S. Girls track, mine included. Such a jam.
	1:21pm Charlie: lol, Ruth! If you create an account and log in, you don't have to do any addition:)
	1:22pm Charlie: agreed, James! such an epic hit feel to this song
	1:22pm Charlie: thanks, Bboro Mike!
	1:24pm Jerry: ug, Ruthie, I got one of the math questions wrong somehow :P
	1:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Charlie! Sorry I'm so late to the party. Appointments and junk like that.
	1:24pm sphere: Hey Handy. :)
	1:25pm KWilde: Enjoying this show!
	1:25pm Charlie: Wendeleh! Welcome!
	1:26pm sphere: @ Handy: Pardon, the cat was begging for a laser chase.
	1:26pm Charlie: Hi Sphere and KWilde -- glad to hear from you:)
	1:27pm Charlie: snowed here last night v pretty this a.m.
	1:28pm Charlie: then the lovely guy who plows my driveway and shovels behind my house came while I was making/eating breakfast, which gave me a warm, happy feeling
	1:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: I see Brattleboro Mike is on the chat page. Are you still out there, Mike? (That's a geographical, not a qualitative, question.)
	1:29pm Jerry: How much snow did you get Charlie? All I got was a smidge of 1 inch
	1:29pm spodiodi: thanks, Phillipe! there are some graham crackers and chocolate in the mini-fridge ... and a microwave next to it if you get tired of waiting :)... sorry so slow -on hold for dental fun
	1:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: The snow is falling off the roof at my house. We got about four inches of very fluffy snow. And luckily it happened yesterday and last night, so driving this morning was a piece o' cake. Damn! I forgot to buy cake while I was out.
	1:31pm Handy Haversack: Heh, these things happen, sphere! The fellow at the pet food store sent home a pig's ear for Bagpipe, who knows exactly where it is and is doing his level best to induce guilt every time I approach the kitchen right now. Hi from us all, Wendy! I can see La Chalupa from where I sit/stand every day. We owe you a letter -- maybe Kate will collage something during efd's show tonight.
	1:32pm ?: Hi Charlie
	1:32pm βrian: We have snow fairies who come to clear our sidewalk and sometimes our drive. Can't complain.
	1:33pm Steve Marcus: Hi Charlie
	1:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Handy! I'm glad my little Loteria card is part of your decor. Please give my best to Kate and Bagpipe.
	1:33pm Charlie: Hi, ? -- how are the Mysterions?
	1:33pm Charlie: Steve! Hi!
	1:34pm Jerry: Captain Scarlet and the Mysertions please
	1:35pm Mike Lupica: Good afternoon! Ahh, just in time for one of my favorite B52s songs.
	1:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike Lupica! Long time, no see. How are you?
	1:37pm Charlie: Mike Lupica! Great to see you:)
	1:38pm Mike Lupica: I am well, thanks Wendy! Hope you are survivin' too. And hey Chaz!
	1:38pm spodiodi: my powerbook is almost an antique
	1:39pm steveo: went out to check the mail -- was Pour Toujours the Julie Doiron song?
	1:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm doing pretty well, Mike, thanks!
	1:40pm steveo: nm, found it on youtube :)
	1:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ooh, I've never heard this Chicks on Speed cover, of probably my favorite B-52's song. This is good.
	1:40pm Charlie: Mike L, you must've picked up my signal when I played 4 American Dollars
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Cancer and my name is Larry And I like a woman that loves everything and everybody Because I love everybody and everything And you know what, ladies, if you feel that this is you Then this is what I want you to do
	1:41pm spodiodi: i wanna be a cowboy
	1:42pm Mike Lupica: Yes, I knew there was a reason I started dancing around my house while dreaming of smashing the patriarchy.
	1:42pm spodiodi: no way to control it
	1:42pm Charlie: haha
	1:42pm Charlie: Float on...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Yes, that's what I want you to do.
	1:43pm Handy Haversack: Absotively inspired set. I am feeling something very like joy!
	1:43pm Charlie: Note to Ruth L: lead vocal: Ruth Pointer
	1:44pm sphere: SM Ken was playing 80s music too. This is quite weird.
	1:45pm Roberto: Mike L! I was just talking yesterday on Michele's show about how Hip Transistor was my WFMU gateway in 2002.
	1:46pm Steve Marcus: Love the fat synths
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: I have had this song stuck in my head since I was seven.
	1:46pm Mike Lupica: Haha, that's awesome Roberto! Apologies for whatever misfortunes the last 19 years may have involved!
	1:47pm Mike Lupica: I never really thought about whether or not I liked the song "Automatic", but hearing it just now, I think I do.
	1:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh yay! Dreamboat Annie!
	1:47pm steveo: jeepers am i really 6 years older than handy??
	1:47pm Jerry: OMG Heart!@?
	1:48pm Roberto: Heh, it's been a bumpy ride to be sure, Mike.
	1:48pm Handy Haversack: steveo, I have an old soul. And body. Clothes are kind of worn out, too, honestly. The cats are not young, either. Also: what Wendy said!
	1:50pm Phillippe Bastille: ...and I'm 11 years older than steveo. yikes
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: I'm 11 years older than I used to be.
	1:51pm brattleboro mike: Hi Wendy! Step away for a minute and the party changes completely! PS did you say cake? Mike
	1:51pm steveo: as every commenter must, I feel we were spirutually born at the exact same moment, handy
	1:52pm eºIºk: Also from Tantor: The Billion-were Needs a Mate: Alpha Billion-weres, Book 1. LOL.
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: The stars were right, steveo!
	1:52pm Phillippe Bastille: @UM as Mitch Hedberg once said: "have you ever had someone ask you if you want to see a picture of them when they were younger? Isn't every picture a picture of you when you were younger?"
	1:53pm steveo: i assume you mean clickystars
	1:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bboro Mike: Unfortunately, I did say cake without actually having cake. Sigh... I do have cookies, though.
	1:54pm Roberto: Charlie, you were a close second in the WFMU gatewaying competition.
	1:56pm brattleboro mike: Ohhhh....
	1:56pm Phillippe Bastille: damn, I just started humming Heart of Glass...
	1:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hmm. Suddenly I feel so soothed.
	1:56pm Roberto: Gaylord or someone played Soothing Sounds for Baby in its entirely a couple of weeks ago. It gave me Charlie flashbacks.
	1:57pm spodiodi: there's a microwave if it runs out of yule
	1:59pm Hubig Pie: 4 american dollars will get you 2 bag o' potato chips
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: do marshmallows explode in a microwave oven? 'seems like something that would. i'll check youboob
	2:00pm spodiodi: bio-medical engineer specializing in stimulus www.imdb.com...
	2:00pm spodiodi: i've never hd anything explode in a microwave, c∅ :\
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: coela, I have vaugue memories of making marshmallow Peeps melt in a microwave in college. Maybe I was being inculcated in a cult?
	2:02pm Phillippe Bastille: Peeps in the microwave were definitely a thing when I was younger, though the microwave was an open flame in the backyard and the peeps were made of wood
	2:02pm spodiodi: i had a sweet s&m peeps scene pic, but can't find it atm
	2:03pm spodiodi: hah PB
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: mmm, woodpeeps
	2:04pm βrian: We've banished microwaves from our kitchen, and it works out pretty well. Having a steamer is the key. Not sure about steaming peeps, though.
	2:04pm Rick from SC: Thanks for another song where I didn't actually know the real writer.
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Phillippe: "Very small rocks!"
	2:05pm spodiodi: mzSpodi's aunt and uncle are peep FIENDS. they didn't comment on the s&m peeps pic when we shared it though :-B hope they don't thinki'm corrupting their neice or anything, etc
	2:06pm Phillippe Bastille: I did turn my neighbor into a newt...
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: i've never exploded anything but a few beans in a microwave oven. i've seen potatoes explode in there, and can attest to my sister's' being a big mess, most of the time, due to exploding food. i've never owned one. seems like a lot of expense just to experiment with food explosion.
	2:08pm Charlie: Rick, you mean Eli's Coming?
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Close. Very...close.
	2:09pm Rick from SC: Charlie, Yes, and also Pleasant Valley Sunday
	2:09pm spodiodi: i like to explode my potatoes in a conventional oven
	2:10pm steveo: i've never exploded anything but a few beans in a microwave oven. i'm not sure if it's possible to generate enough pressure to blow your ear off in one sitting, but i wouldn't rule it out. it can't possibly have been pleasant for her and it's not like she's had a lot of practice at living. ponyboy is here! we are super excited.
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: Eli's not coming today.
	2:10pm spodiodi: this song makes me keep looking for Suzy Hotrod
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: No need to hide my heart?
	2:11pm Charlie: Rick: Laura Nyro -- another who wrote so many songs that were hits for others!
	2:11pm Michael: Hi Charlie!
	2:12pm Charlie: Hi Michael! How's tricks?
	2:13pm Michael: My brain was playing tricks and made me forget to listen. Other than that, ok. All well up north I trust.
	2:14pm steveo: we sold our microwave when we sold our apartment (it was built in), then we lived without one for more than a year, then several months ago, I went out on trash day and found one within 10 minutes. works great, but it's only 900 watts, so a little slow.
	2:14pm Charlie: All's good here!
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: Never actually owned a microwave. And since one would take up like 40 percent of the apartment at this point, that is likely to continue.
	2:17pm steveo: just get one big enough to sleep in and you're set
	2:18pm spodiodi: we currently have the biggest microwave i've ever had, and we use it to mostly reheat tea :-B
	2:18pm spodiodi: you could stretch out in this one, steveo
	2:19pm steveo: thanks. let me drink some tea first, though
	2:20pm Charlie: I never had a microwave before the house I live in now (it's built in). Managed ok without, but I like using it now for various things.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: if i had a microwave oven i'd use it only to reheat leftovers, which means i'd use it about once/month or 2. 3 times i've been offered one for free, and declined.
	2:22pm Phillippe Bastille: How could anyone possibly get that smell of burnt popcorn in their house without a microwave? Damn luddites.
	2:22pm Michael: For a while, we had a microwave/toaster combo thing. It was huge.
	2:23pm Charlie: never heard of a microwave/toaster!
	2:24pm Charlie: I have a hot air popper, so I've never made popcorn in the nuke-ro-wave
	2:24pm coelacanth∅: i do reheat tea now and then, maybe 1-2X/month. a microwave oven would save me a good 30-60 seconds and only use double the electricity, over an electric stove. i guess i can justify it.
	2:24pm Sem: This Pugs is getting to me. Thx, Charlie!
	2:25pm Phillippe Bastille: we've transitioned to an induction cooktop. Can't get gas where we are and electric ranges suck. Induction comes with its own challenges, however
	2:25pm βrian: We have a dedicated popcorn pot, an old ceramic steel beast from the 70s. Makes great popcorn. Can someone please pass the nutritional yeast?
	2:26pm Michael: It was from Sears. I never saw one before either. Had a microwave side and at one end a little door pulled down to reveal tow toaster slots. It saved space in a way but like I said was quite large.
	2:26pm steveo: someone gave us some microwave popcorn before we had a microwave so we just made it in a pot. worked fine. also, i am making microwave popcorn now, hurrah
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: i've made popcorn in someone else's microwave. something like 3/4 of them pop. all of them pop in the air popper.
	2:26pm βrian: @PB: We have induction and gas side-by-side. Best of both worlds, though the induction is a little noisy.
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: holy crap i forgot all about this song!
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: I was regifted a combo six-slice toaster with egg-poaching attachment and never even managed to get it set up because all of the counter space we have does not, technically, exist. GAR-DOCH!
	2:28pm Phillippe Bastille: @ βrian when we use cast iron, there's not any real noise. Some of the clad cookware can get kinda buzzy though.
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe i much prefer fire but i rent and for the past 15 years it's been electric. i still don't like it but i've got it down.
	2:32pm βrian: Ours always sounds the same, no matter the cookware or whether it's on a low simmer vs searing the ceiling.
	2:32pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel my biggest issues with electric is how long it takes to heat up and when you turn it off, it's not really off for a while. There's no radiant heat with induction, so off is really off -- its just whatever heat your cookware retains. You can get a couple cups of water to boiling in about 30 seconds
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: (re:spector don't forget thief and douchebag in general)
	2:34pm Phillippe Bastille: @ βrian I think we've collected our cast iron from a better class of thrift stores
	2:36pm Phillippe Bastille: Oooh, my #1 rock and roll crush, Angel Olsen!
	2:36pm Michael 98145: I'm partial to fire, as well. Just mostly used to it, i suppose. @HH, that device sounds incredible! Is there Alexa inside? 🙄
	2:37pm Charlie: Phillippe -- me too!
	2:39pm Stanley: I'll just add to the kitchen appliance discussion that the best thing I ever bought was a cute mini rice cooker. Does slow cook, too. A bit pricey but it's brilliant. www.yumasiaworld.com...
	2:40pm Hubig Pie: Handy, did that contraption also have a hollandaise whirly gig? Complete brunch from one gadget
	2:41pm Michael 98145: We get a LOT of use out of our rice cooker. And coffee grinder...
	2:41pm Phillippe Bastille: My son has a sous vide thingy that really does a great job cooking things evenly
	2:41pm Handy Haversack: Too soon, Hubig! The heartache is too fresh still. (I assume it could even provide a slice of cantaloupe at the end!)
	2:42pm Michael 98145: Just stopped by to say i've enjoyed the show. Thanx.
	2:42pm Charlie: this convo is making me hungry!
	2:43pm βrian: I won't cede one square centimeter of counter space to a cooking device. Never!!
	2:44pm Stanley: I suppose the group who called themselves Y Pants, wanted to be The Y Fronts but probably found the name trade marked.
	2:44pm βrian: Baked orzo with shrimp, kalamata olives, and feta. Does that help, Charlie?
	2:45pm steveo: my bag of microwave popcorn is gone; 67 unpopped kernels; zero regrets
	2:45pm Tamar: Loving Nothing, Charlie!
	2:45pm Phillippe Bastille: Our kitchen is the largest room in our house. We have counter space to spare for all of you. The island alone is about 40 square feet.
	2:46pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe yes those attributes are one thing i don't like but i work with. i know at what point before the thing (whatever the thing is) is finished to turn the power off. like with ramen i drop the noodles in then the seaweed and turn it right off. roasting seeds in a cast iron skillet i turn the power on, put the seeds in and turn the power off as soon as the coils reach a glow. it heats up fast here. the one in my last apartment it was slow. (and sparky)
	2:47pm spodiodi: Charlie, PopLite? we <3 our PopLite -- air-popped popcorn FTW! we use that thing every night
	2:47pm Handy Haversack: Fanny!
	2:48pm steveo: the beatles must have been amused by the name of this band
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: Pretty sure the last time I had popcorn I was in either a movie theater or the Fourth Avenue Pub. Probably the latter.
	2:50pm Charlie: now i want popcorn! I forget what brand my popper is, but it's toppermost of the poppermost:)
	2:52pm Jay S: Hi from San Francisco!
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Saw Fanny in the Student Lounge of the University of Pennsylvania so many years ago, my calculator exploded right now when I tried to dial up the number.
	2:52pm Jay S: Thanks for playing Fanny's great version of Hey Bulldog!
	2:52pm Charlie: Hi Jay! Hi Gerry, and wow!
	2:53pm spodiodi: we had a scare once that we broke it, and bought another. deduced that the old one wasn't broken by "breaking" the new one as well. so, now we have a spare in case anything should ever (actually) happen to the first one
	2:53pm βrian: My wife has the popcorn routine down pat. A couple tbs of safflower oil, blast the heat, shake, and go. That's tasty insta-food for 7YrOld.
	2:54pm Jay S: The Millington sisters who led Fanny were still killer musicians years later: youtu.be...
	2:54pm spodiodi: this has been a great fill-in, Charlie! thanks for the tunes! great to hear you. cheerio! see you all soon
	2:55pm Sem: Nothing, accomplished! Couldn't have not done it without your help, Charlie. See you later.
	2:55pm Michael 98145: i got some fancy popcorn from nuts.com (no, really) but have been too lazy to try it yet. maybe today.
	2:55pm βrian: Thanks for keeping us busy, Charlie.
	2:56pm Michael 98145: ooh. never heard this before, either.
	2:56pm Charlie: Thanks, everyone, for hanging out today! Great to see you all.
	2:56pm Stanley: Thanks Charlie.
	2:56pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Charlie!
	2:57pm Handy Haversack: Great show! Very glad to have caught it. Thanks so much, Charlie. Be well, all.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: i have the air popper my sister got for her dorm room >40 years ago. works great! presto!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: (that's the brand)
	2:58pm brattleboro mike: Had a great time Charlie- thanks for a fun show!
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Charlie—always a treat!
	2:59pm schmutz: 💃 ❤️🔥 always a delight Charlie!
	2:59pm spodiodi: magical, coel
	2:59pm βrian: I've heard of people using those to roast coffee.
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: i've given up on nuts.com.
	2:59pm Michael: Thanks much Charlie - always fun. Haven't heard Pour it Out in a while. Lovely finish. I will have to catch up on the first 2 hours.
	2:59pm steveo: Thanks Charlie, great to hear you today!
	2:59pm Michael 98145: Thank you!

	12:44pm Roberto: There was also a great cover of this Melanie tune released last year for NJ covid relief.
	12:44pm spodiodi: Peter, i'm not doubting that, but Rodney claimed something about his getting Bowie played/breaking him in the US in the doc i saw a decade-ish ago

	12:50pm spodiodi: thanks and aloha, S'em! there may be a little of that in there, but it's mostly juniper
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: (spodi's burnin' commie books again)
	12:52pm Sem: Ah, Stanley: you are the calm centre in the midst of samsara.

	1:02pm Roberto: Oy vey I got so wrapped up in Miley I totally forgot about my 1pm meeting.

	1:08pm Charlie: What kind of classes, Henry? That's one of my fave books of recent years:)
	1:08pm Webhamster Henry: Dave can probably find a Croatian cover of it!
	1:08pm spodiodi: recline button is there to be used. don't like mine? use yours to ake the same space for yourself
	1:09pm Handy Haversack: "Commuter train"! (I do the back-up parts for Kate when this song comes on! Kate might disagree about "do" and "parts.")
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: @Charlie It was a writing class. I think they met up in Albany.

	1:22pm Charlie: agreed, James! such an epic hit feel to this song
	1:22pm Charlie: thanks, Bboro Mike!
	1:24pm Jerry: ug, Ruthie, I got one of the math questions wrong somehow :P
	1:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Charlie! Sorry I'm so late to the party. Appointments and junk like that.
	1:24pm sphere: Hey Handy. :)
	1:25pm KWilde: Enjoying this show!
	1:25pm Charlie: Wendeleh! Welcome!
	1:26pm sphere: @ Handy: Pardon, the cat was begging for a laser chase.
	1:26pm Charlie: Hi Sphere and KWilde -- glad to hear from you:)
	1:27pm Charlie: snowed here last night v pretty this a.m.
	1:28pm Charlie: then the lovely guy who plows my driveway and shovels behind my house came while I was making/eating breakfast, which gave me a warm, happy feeling
	1:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: I see Brattleboro Mike is on the chat page. Are you still out there, Mike? (That's a geographical, not a qualitative, question.)
	1:29pm Jerry: How much snow did you get Charlie? All I got was a smidge of 1 inch
	1:29pm spodiodi: thanks, Phillipe! there are some graham crackers and chocolate in the mini-fridge ... and a microwave next to it if you get tired of waiting :)... sorry so slow -on hold for dental fun
	1:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: The snow is falling off the roof at my house. We got about four inches of very fluffy snow. And luckily it happened yesterday and last night, so driving this morning was a piece o' cake. Damn! I forgot to buy cake while I was out.
	1:31pm Handy Haversack: Heh, these things happen, sphere! The fellow at the pet food store sent home a pig's ear for Bagpipe, who knows exactly where it is and is doing his level best to induce guilt every time I approach the kitchen right now. Hi from us all, Wendy! I can see La Chalupa from where I sit/stand every day. We owe you a letter -- maybe Kate will collage something during efd's show tonight.
	1:32pm ?: Hi Charlie
	1:32pm βrian: We have snow fairies who come to clear our sidewalk and sometimes our drive. Can't complain.
	1:33pm Steve Marcus: Hi Charlie
	1:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Handy! I'm glad my little Loteria card is part of your decor. Please give my best to Kate and Bagpipe.
	1:33pm Charlie: Hi, ? -- how are the Mysterions?
	1:33pm Charlie: Steve! Hi!
	1:34pm Jerry: Captain Scarlet and the Mysertions please
	1:35pm Mike Lupica: Good afternoon! Ahh, just in time for one of my favorite B52s songs.
	1:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike Lupica! Long time, no see. How are you?
	1:37pm Charlie: Mike Lupica! Great to see you:)
	1:38pm Mike Lupica: I am well, thanks Wendy! Hope you are survivin' too. And hey Chaz!
	1:38pm spodiodi: my powerbook is almost an antique
	1:39pm steveo: went out to check the mail -- was Pour Toujours the Julie Doiron song?
	1:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm doing pretty well, Mike, thanks!
	1:40pm steveo: nm, found it on youtube :)
	1:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ooh, I've never heard this Chicks on Speed cover, of probably my favorite B-52's song. This is good.
	1:40pm Charlie: Mike L, you must've picked up my signal when I played 4 American Dollars
	1:41pm Uncle Michael: Cancer and my name is Larry And I like a woman that loves everything and everybody Because I love everybody and everything And you know what, ladies, if you feel that this is you Then this is what I want you to do
	1:41pm spodiodi: i wanna be a cowboy
	1:42pm Mike Lupica: Yes, I knew there was a reason I started dancing around my house while dreaming of smashing the patriarchy.
	1:42pm spodiodi: no way to control it
	1:42pm Charlie: haha
	1:42pm Charlie: Float on...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: Yes, that's what I want you to do.
	1:43pm Handy Haversack: Absotively inspired set. I am feeling something very like joy!
	1:43pm Charlie: Note to Ruth L: lead vocal: Ruth Pointer
	1:44pm sphere: SM Ken was playing 80s music too. This is quite weird.
	1:45pm Roberto: Mike L! I was just talking yesterday on Michele's show about how Hip Transistor was my WFMU gateway in 2002.
	1:46pm Steve Marcus: Love the fat synths
	1:46pm Handy Haversack: I have had this song stuck in my head since I was seven.
	1:46pm Mike Lupica: Haha, that's awesome Roberto! Apologies for whatever misfortunes the last 19 years may have involved!
	1:47pm Mike Lupica: I never really thought about whether or not I liked the song "Automatic", but hearing it just now, I think I do.
	1:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh yay! Dreamboat Annie!
	1:47pm steveo: jeepers am i really 6 years older than handy??
	1:47pm Jerry: OMG Heart!@?
	1:48pm Roberto: Heh, it's been a bumpy ride to be sure, Mike.
	1:48pm Handy Haversack: steveo, I have an old soul. And body. Clothes are kind of worn out, too, honestly. The cats are not young, either. Also: what Wendy said!
	1:50pm Phillippe Bastille: ...and I'm 11 years older than steveo. yikes
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: I'm 11 years older than I used to be.
	1:51pm brattleboro mike: Hi Wendy! Step away for a minute and the party changes completely! PS did you say cake? Mike
	1:51pm steveo: as every commenter must, I feel we were spirutually born at the exact same moment, handy
	1:52pm eºIºk: Also from Tantor: The Billion-were Needs a Mate: Alpha Billion-weres, Book 1. LOL.
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: The stars were right, steveo!
	1:52pm Phillippe Bastille: @UM as Mitch Hedberg once said: "have you ever had someone ask you if you want to see a picture of them when they were younger? Isn't every picture a picture of you when you were younger?"
	1:53pm steveo: i assume you mean clickystars
	1:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bboro Mike: Unfortunately, I did say cake without actually having cake. Sigh... I do have cookies, though.
	1:54pm Roberto: Charlie, you were a close second in the WFMU gatewaying competition.
	1:56pm brattleboro mike: Ohhhh....
	1:56pm Phillippe Bastille: damn, I just started humming Heart of Glass...
	1:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hmm. Suddenly I feel so soothed.
	1:56pm Roberto: Gaylord or someone played Soothing Sounds for Baby in its entirely a couple of weeks ago. It gave me Charlie flashbacks.
	1:57pm spodiodi: there's a microwave if it runs out of yule
	1:59pm Hubig Pie: 4 american dollars will get you 2 bag o' potato chips
	1:59pm coelacanth∅: do marshmallows explode in a microwave oven? 'seems like something that would. i'll check youboob
	2:00pm spodiodi: bio-medical engineer specializing in stimulus www.imdb.com...
	2:00pm spodiodi: i've never hd anything explode in a microwave, c∅ :\
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: coela, I have vaugue memories of making marshmallow Peeps melt in a microwave in college. Maybe I was being inculcated in a cult?
	2:02pm Phillippe Bastille: Peeps in the microwave were definitely a thing when I was younger, though the microwave was an open flame in the backyard and the peeps were made of wood
	2:02pm spodiodi: i had a sweet s&m peeps scene pic, but can't find it atm
	2:03pm spodiodi: hah PB
	2:03pm coelacanth∅: mmm, woodpeeps
	2:04pm βrian: We've banished microwaves from our kitchen, and it works out pretty well. Having a steamer is the key. Not sure about steaming peeps, though.
	2:04pm Rick from SC: Thanks for another song where I didn't actually know the real writer.
	2:04pm Handy Haversack: Phillippe: "Very small rocks!"
	2:05pm spodiodi: mzSpodi's aunt and uncle are peep FIENDS. they didn't comment on the s&m peeps pic when we shared it though :-B hope they don't thinki'm corrupting their neice or anything, etc
	2:06pm Phillippe Bastille: I did turn my neighbor into a newt...
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: i've never exploded anything but a few beans in a microwave oven. i've seen potatoes explode in there, and can attest to my sister's' being a big mess, most of the time, due to exploding food. i've never owned one. seems like a lot of expense just to experiment with food explosion.
	2:08pm Charlie: Rick, you mean Eli's Coming?
	2:09pm Uncle Michael: Close. Very...close.
	2:09pm Rick from SC: Charlie, Yes, and also Pleasant Valley Sunday
	2:09pm spodiodi: i like to explode my potatoes in a conventional oven
	2:10pm steveo: i've never exploded anything but a few beans in a microwave oven. i'm not sure if it's possible to generate enough pressure to blow your ear off in one sitting, but i wouldn't rule it out. it can't possibly have been pleasant for her and it's not like she's had a lot of practice at living. ponyboy is here! we are super excited.
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: Eli's not coming today.
	2:10pm spodiodi: this song makes me keep looking for Suzy Hotrod
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: No need to hide my heart?
	2:11pm Charlie: Rick: Laura Nyro -- another who wrote so many songs that were hits for others!
	2:11pm Michael: Hi Charlie!
	2:12pm Charlie: Hi Michael! How's tricks?
	2:13pm Michael: My brain was playing tricks and made me forget to listen. Other than that, ok. All well up north I trust.
	2:14pm steveo: we sold our microwave when we sold our apartment (it was built in), then we lived without one for more than a year, then several months ago, I went out on trash day and found one within 10 minutes. works great, but it's only 900 watts, so a little slow.
	2:14pm Charlie: All's good here!
	2:17pm Handy Haversack: Never actually owned a microwave. And since one would take up like 40 percent of the apartment at this point, that is likely to continue.
	2:17pm steveo: just get one big enough to sleep in and you're set
	2:18pm spodiodi: we currently have the biggest microwave i've ever had, and we use it to mostly reheat tea :-B
	2:18pm spodiodi: you could stretch out in this one, steveo
	2:19pm steveo: thanks. let me drink some tea first, though
	2:20pm Charlie: I never had a microwave before the house I live in now (it's built in). Managed ok without, but I like using it now for various things.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: if i had a microwave oven i'd use it only to reheat leftovers, which means i'd use it about once/month or 2. 3 times i've been offered one for free, and declined.
	2:22pm Phillippe Bastille: How could anyone possibly get that smell of burnt popcorn in their house without a microwave? Damn luddites.
	2:22pm Michael: For a while, we had a microwave/toaster combo thing. It was huge.
	2:23pm Charlie: never heard of a microwave/toaster!
	2:24pm Charlie: I have a hot air popper, so I've never made popcorn in the nuke-ro-wave
	2:24pm coelacanth∅: i do reheat tea now and then, maybe 1-2X/month. a microwave oven would save me a good 30-60 seconds and only use double the electricity, over an electric stove. i guess i can justify it.
	2:24pm Sem: This Pugs is getting to me. Thx, Charlie!
	2:25pm Phillippe Bastille: we've transitioned to an induction cooktop. Can't get gas where we are and electric ranges suck. Induction comes with its own challenges, however
	2:25pm βrian: We have a dedicated popcorn pot, an old ceramic steel beast from the 70s. Makes great popcorn. Can someone please pass the nutritional yeast?
	2:26pm Michael: It was from Sears. I never saw one before either. Had a microwave side and at one end a little door pulled down to reveal tow toaster slots. It saved space in a way but like I said was quite large.
	2:26pm steveo: someone gave us some microwave popcorn before we had a microwave so we just made it in a pot. worked fine. also, i am making microwave popcorn now, hurrah
	2:26pm coelacanth∅: i've made popcorn in someone else's microwave. something like 3/4 of them pop. all of them pop in the air popper.
	2:26pm βrian: @PB: We have induction and gas side-by-side. Best of both worlds, though the induction is a little noisy.
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: holy crap i forgot all about this song!
	2:28pm Handy Haversack: I was regifted a combo six-slice toaster with egg-poaching attachment and never even managed to get it set up because all of the counter space we have does not, technically, exist. GAR-DOCH!
	2:28pm Phillippe Bastille: @ βrian when we use cast iron, there's not any real noise. Some of the clad cookware can get kinda buzzy though.
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe i much prefer fire but i rent and for the past 15 years it's been electric. i still don't like it but i've got it down.
	2:32pm βrian: Ours always sounds the same, no matter the cookware or whether it's on a low simmer vs searing the ceiling.
	2:32pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel my biggest issues with electric is how long it takes to heat up and when you turn it off, it's not really off for a while. There's no radiant heat with induction, so off is really off -- its just whatever heat your cookware retains. You can get a couple cups of water to boiling in about 30 seconds
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: (re:spector don't forget thief and douchebag in general)
	2:34pm Phillippe Bastille: @ βrian I think we've collected our cast iron from a better class of thrift stores
	2:36pm Phillippe Bastille: Oooh, my #1 rock and roll crush, Angel Olsen!
	2:36pm Michael 98145: I'm partial to fire, as well. Just mostly used to it, i suppose. @HH, that device sounds incredible! Is there Alexa inside? 🙄
	2:37pm Charlie: Phillippe -- me too!
	2:39pm Stanley: I'll just add to the kitchen appliance discussion that the best thing I ever bought was a cute mini rice cooker. Does slow cook, too. A bit pricey but it's brilliant. www.yumasiaworld.com...
	2:40pm Hubig Pie: Handy, did that contraption also have a hollandaise whirly gig? Complete brunch from one gadget
	2:41pm Michael 98145: We get a LOT of use out of our rice cooker. And coffee grinder...
	2:41pm Phillippe Bastille: My son has a sous vide thingy that really does a great job cooking things evenly
	2:41pm Handy Haversack: Too soon, Hubig! The heartache is too fresh still. (I assume it could even provide a slice of cantaloupe at the end!)
	2:42pm Michael 98145: Just stopped by to say i've enjoyed the show. Thanx.
	2:42pm Charlie: this convo is making me hungry!
	2:43pm βrian: I won't cede one square centimeter of counter space to a cooking device. Never!!
	2:44pm Stanley: I suppose the group who called themselves Y Pants, wanted to be The Y Fronts but probably found the name trade marked.
	2:44pm βrian: Baked orzo with shrimp, kalamata olives, and feta. Does that help, Charlie?
	2:45pm steveo: my bag of microwave popcorn is gone; 67 unpopped kernels; zero regrets
	2:45pm Tamar: Loving Nothing, Charlie!
	2:45pm Phillippe Bastille: Our kitchen is the largest room in our house. We have counter space to spare for all of you. The island alone is about 40 square feet.
	2:46pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe yes those attributes are one thing i don't like but i work with. i know at what point before the thing (whatever the thing is) is finished to turn the power off. like with ramen i drop the noodles in then the seaweed and turn it right off. roasting seeds in a cast iron skillet i turn the power on, put the seeds in and turn the power off as soon as the coils reach a glow. it heats up fast here. the one in my last apartment it was slow. (and sparky)
	2:47pm spodiodi: Charlie, PopLite? we <3 our PopLite -- air-popped popcorn FTW! we use that thing every night
	2:47pm Handy Haversack: Fanny!
	2:48pm steveo: the beatles must have been amused by the name of this band
	2:49pm Handy Haversack: Pretty sure the last time I had popcorn I was in either a movie theater or the Fourth Avenue Pub. Probably the latter.
	2:50pm Charlie: now i want popcorn! I forget what brand my popper is, but it's toppermost of the poppermost:)
	2:52pm Jay S: Hi from San Francisco!
	2:52pm Gerry from Miami: Saw Fanny in the Student Lounge of the University of Pennsylvania so many years ago, my calculator exploded right now when I tried to dial up the number.
	2:52pm Jay S: Thanks for playing Fanny's great version of Hey Bulldog!
	2:52pm Charlie: Hi Jay! Hi Gerry, and wow!
	2:53pm spodiodi: we had a scare once that we broke it, and bought another. deduced that the old one wasn't broken by "breaking" the new one as well. so, now we have a spare in case anything should ever (actually) happen to the first one
	2:53pm βrian: My wife has the popcorn routine down pat. A couple tbs of safflower oil, blast the heat, shake, and go. That's tasty insta-food for 7YrOld.
	2:54pm Jay S: The Millington sisters who led Fanny were still killer musicians years later: youtu.be...
	2:54pm spodiodi: this has been a great fill-in, Charlie! thanks for the tunes! great to hear you. cheerio! see you all soon
	2:55pm Sem: Nothing, accomplished! Couldn't have not done it without your help, Charlie. See you later.
	2:55pm Michael 98145: i got some fancy popcorn from nuts.com (no, really) but have been too lazy to try it yet. maybe today.
	2:55pm βrian: Thanks for keeping us busy, Charlie.
	2:56pm Michael 98145: ooh. never heard this before, either.
	2:56pm Charlie: Thanks, everyone, for hanging out today! Great to see you all.
	2:56pm Stanley: Thanks Charlie.
	2:56pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Charlie!
	2:57pm Handy Haversack: Great show! Very glad to have caught it. Thanks so much, Charlie. Be well, all.
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: i have the air popper my sister got for her dorm room >40 years ago. works great! presto!
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: (that's the brand)
	2:58pm brattleboro mike: Had a great time Charlie- thanks for a fun show!
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Charlie—always a treat!
	2:59pm schmutz: 💃 ❤️🔥 always a delight Charlie!
	2:59pm spodiodi: magical, coel
	2:59pm βrian: I've heard of people using those to roast coffee.
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: i've given up on nuts.com.
	2:59pm Michael: Thanks much Charlie - always fun. Haven't heard Pour it Out in a while. Lovely finish. I will have to catch up on the first 2 hours.
	2:59pm steveo: Thanks Charlie, great to hear you today!
	2:59pm Michael 98145: Thank you!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Charlie! y'all come back now,y'hear!
	3:00pm Steve Marcus: Great show Thanks!
	3:00pm Gerry from Miami: Tuned in late. Will try to be on time next chance I get. Later!
	3:13pm Webhamster Henry: Sorry was on the phone with my son; I'll catch the last hour in the archives!
