	7:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Works for me...
	7:40am HyperDose: Good morning Drummer stream pals!
	7:43am Yvang: I had never heard of Krisma neither. Their wikipedia page says: "On July 22, 1998 the couple launched Krisma TV, which was broadcast through the Skyplex satellite service (and later Eutelstat) to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East."
	7:43am Meghan: good morning HyperDose!
	7:44am Meghan: Wow, I wonder what they broadcasted and why and who saw it.... and so so many questions....
	7:46am Yvang: Same! There's still a website which maybe brings some answers... www.krismatv.net
	7:51am Meghan: wow that is a really bad website! Hard to see information....
	7:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Here in NewHampshuh - it reached 70℉ - & after that it's snowed twice... Don't know about y'all ! ...Not sleeping apparently ! ...May even go Outside to forage for comestibles...
	7:54am leshwatt: Meghan your show sends me down rabbit holes routinely. The never ending search for the next killer band! Many DJ’s on this station have had this effect.
	7:55am Meghan: I blame listener Bill for the snow... he put away his snow gear. He lives in NY State. I told him he should know better...
	7:56am HyperDose: Almost lived in NH. Hampton is quite nice, and the cost of living is so low compared to similar areas.
	7:56am Meghan: awwww thanks leshwatt! It's fun going down these rabbit holes! There is so much great stuff out there that needs to be found!!
	7:59am Yvang: @Rev Rabbit : Golden sunshine all over France map. Temperatures from 57 to 73 (I had to made the conversion from Celsius)
	8:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HyperDose - this area is known for that charming combo of relative low unemployment ...& low wages.
	8:00am leshwatt: I am constantly amazed at how much music WFMU dj’s unearth. What platforms do you use to search? I lam on last.fm and spotify. Some YouTube.
	8:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: leshwatt I always say every FMU-J is a World.
	8:02am Yvang: My platform to discover new music is ... wfmu of course.
	8:03am Meghan: I use a good combo of things. Spotify, YouTube, old blogs... I'll go in stores and hear something and Shazam it... haha
	8:03am Yvang: Larry Grogan did a show about Plasticland yesterday! Never heard of them before.
	8:04am leshwatt: Yes Shazam is one of the greatest inventions ever. Right up there with the light bulb, or sliced bread.
	8:04am Meghan: I'm the person that hears music everywhere. It's frustrating when I was working at jobs and I'd know the tape by heart or go into other stores and hear the same tape. I can't drown out the sounds like others
	8:05am leshwatt: At work they play a commercial pop mix and I can’t tune it out either. Good or bad music, I listen. One day I’m going to infiltrate the Muzak and slip in the Drummer Stream bwahahaha
	8:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FMU - & Podcasts matter to me - & a few other Stations/Streams. But FMU dominates the timeslots ! Never bothered w/ Spotify or Sirius or - I'm ashamed to say - bandcamp... Yeeearrs ago there was this thing called Shoutcast that got bought by Yahoo! & so 'monetized' & killed. It was the Spotify of the day. I was invested rating thousands of things to feed the algorithms - & it just ended...
	8:07am HyperDose: @RRN63 I have a friend from high school who lives there with her husband and 2 kids. Delightful people, even offered to let me live with them for a while. But I can't see myself having any luck there outside of small business clients. Didn't seem like there was much of a music scene either.
	8:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HyperDose - the blunt fact is this is North of NorthEast of Nowhere. The whole point here is to not be connected to Civilization.
	8:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Meghan and swingers! Should be a nice weekend coming up.
	8:11am Brian in UK: Hello Meghan There was an interesting comment recently about how women and men listen to music. Your comment at 8.03 reminded me. Women hear music and go that good what is it Men go what is it, then make a quality judgement.
	8:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Back in the PreWeb days - I worked in CD Stores - listened to Left of Dial local Public (like KCRW in SoCal) & College stations... & I worked in CD Stores - not making ends meet in the Santa Barbara cost of living... & all the way back - my brother was about nine years older than me & a Rawk obsessive with 1,000s of albums & magazines &tc., is what happened to me...
	8:12am HyperDose: I want to disappear like that, but more out west. Buy a plot of land, renovate and convert a barn into a studio, and use the extra space as a volunteer-run animal sanctuary. Have 5 or 6 hired hands on the payroll + an asst engineer. One can dream!
	8:13am Meghan: RevRab- I love finding new music on Bandcamp! and I found some great stuff on Soundcloud too
	8:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The West is Horizontal...
	8:14am Meghan: ha interesting Brian.... I can see that. I know I listen to music differently than others... but as a WFMU listener I think we all can relate a bit to each other.
	8:14am Meghan: and morning Ken!
	8:15am HyperDose: @RRN63 I implore you to look up Fort Collins, CO and not completely fall in love. Also The Blasting Room (legendary punk studio) is there.
	8:16am Meghan: Hyperdose- I used to live near Hampton NH. I have a good friend up there. The music scene is definitely in Boston. Though there are things around that area. Hampton Beach has a club that touring bands went to.
	8:17am doctorjazz: Hi Meghan!
	8:17am Brian in UK: Never really wanted to own music just have it available when I wanted to hear it. The object had no real interest. Saying that Compact Discs are awful objects.
	8:17am Meghan: morning doctorjazz!!
	8:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I always natter on about the book 'This Is Your Brain On Music' - in which author posits that a main way we relate to Music is the balance of Familiarity & Novelty. We want to recognize things - but not be bored either. If so - what is it about the brain of the FMUvian that is wired so differently !... NH's small coast & the southern bit of the state are a bit more like Mass. ...I'm in the damn hills...
	8:20am Meghan: Brian- that is a real struggle for me. I go back and forth all the time about that. I want to own the album. There is a tactile quality to holding it, reading it and having a memory attached to the song. A lot of my digital stuff I download and forget. It gets lost. But owning things takes space. And if I buy an album it has to be good cause it costs so much. But i agree, I am done with CD's
	8:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brian in UK: I always wanted to Own all the Music in the World !! ...So the digital revolution is startling ! I think of Dylan stealing Guthrie albums because there was no other source - or George Harrison saying after the War there you couldn't a cup of sugar let alone a Rawk'n'Roll record - o Donovan talking about learning Blues off 78s ! & now it's a gushing firehose of content I'll never have time for...
	8:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jut listenig to a podcast on TheBeatles - & the old critics talking about Ringo putting out an EP not an Album as a sign of the times...
	8:24am Brian in UK: Rev, I think we FMU types use musics as the acceptance of how important it is to our lives, not just background. That is not necessarily nerdy but certainly can be. Like Aldous Huxley on mescalin, wanting to know everything that has happened in the world. EVER.
	8:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Problem with no Artefact is the Internet Providers & such get all the money & the Artists get f*cked.
	8:25am Meghan: I dunno... I throw a lot of money at the little guys even using spotify. I use spotify to find music and then I go buy it!
	8:25am Brian in UK: Meghan certainly with records, the art work was often critical to the object. Try rolling up on a CD!!!.
	8:26am leshwatt: The internet is wonderful and cruel at the same time. I used to buy vinyl and cd’s out of curiosity about the band. Now you just point and click. The artist gets screwed of course. I’m embarrassed about being on Spotify but I’m a music junkie and I NEED my daily fix.
	8:26am Meghan: hahaha. I used to keep those long cardboard CD cases that you would get as wall art
	8:27am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Meghan.
	8:27am leshwatt: Yeah I would buy an album just cause it looked cool. You could almost pick a great band by its album art.
	8:27am Meghan: morning TDK60!
	8:27am Brian in UK: Enjoying this set, goes well with the sunny day. Hey TDK60
	8:28am TDK60: Hiya Brian! (east of Wales)
	8:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otherwise I'm delighted to get everything anytime online ! Just open a vein & stick the FMU stream in me - &tc. ... Yes but Meghan you are much more financially functional than I ever was. ...Yeah - the Art - & it's not sitting with the Album, yerknow ? There are scores of Artists I hear only on FMU - they mean as much to me as any Music ever has to - but I'm not collecting them in my home & learning Names & details...
	8:28am Meghan: I would never shame anyone's use of music platforms. I just shame on the music being played.... hahaha
	8:28am HyperDose: @Meghan I've only done the Faneuil Hall tourist thing. Newbury Comics had some dope rare stuff though. What kind of music scene does Boston have?
	8:29am Brian in UK: I was not one of those who carried albums around as a kind of badge to show which club you belonged to.
	8:30am TDK60: I will reveal here that indeed I did purchase some albums only due to covers. (I can't recall the percentage of pleasure vs. non-pleasure at this time.)
	8:30am Meghan: Well, I haven't been there in the midst of it since 1999... so it's been a while, but man there is an AMAZING scene there! Think about it, all those colleges... you get all the touring bands and all the upcoming bands... I've done all Boston music shows before. Seriously a great scene
	8:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's all changed / changing so rapidly that it's whiplash futureshock...
	8:31am Meghan: Boston will always have a good punk/hardcore/indie scene
	8:32am HyperDose: The only place I'd never tour is St. Louis. Haven't heard of one band that didn't get their van broken into or the whole van + trailer flat out stolen.
	8:33am Brian in UK: Remember the David St Hubbins saying that Boston is not much of a college town. In the Seventies over here, universities were probably the best place to see bands and maybe even have them crash at your place afterwards.
	8:34am Meghan: I have had many touring hardcore bands crash at my place and be their border crossing phone call. Had members of Godspeed You Black Emperor crash at my place here in JC.
	8:35am BillD: Good morning from sunny but chilly Orange County NY.
	8:35am HyperDose: I just love that Harvey Danger (yes, the Flagpole Sitta guys)started out as college chums who didn't even really play. The drummer used a paint tub as a drum. If that isn't Clinton's America, I don't know what is.
	8:35am TDK60: I'll never reveal the times I bought an album, didn't like it, gave it away, then later came to like it. There's only so much embarrassment I can take in one day.
	8:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always say I'm not ashamed of what I used to like - but what I remember I couldn't get to yet !
	8:37am TDK60: Meghan, I love GY!BE. Intense. Saw 'em twice.
	8:38am Brian in UK: Making up band names and then asking those who thought they were cool whether they liked them. My favourite was Plastic Tearful.
	8:38am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Hey everyone. I just got home from the gym. I'm currently reading a Bowie biography that's a comic. It's really disappointing.
	8:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The dream is to be Friends & then a Band. I held out for stuff & just got old... Even TheBeatles met over John's band...
	8:38am leshwatt: I listen to stuff now that I wouldn’t have even thought about listening to 30 years ago.
	8:38am Meghan: my husband went to college in Montreal so his friends knew them.... one of those things. Been lucky to see them a bunch of times! My friend does sound for them
	8:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Spatulator that almost never seems to work. & there are genius Artists who could do it too !...
	8:39am Brian in UK: Whoda thought that I would like mid Fifties Frank Sinatra.
	8:41am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Revolution: I wanted to like this book but it's just so dull.
	8:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I remember being a little shit in grade school identifying completley with my Who albums. Outta the Library I got Eno, the Staples, Curtis Mayfield - couldn't get to any of them ! Imagine ! Brian in UK exactly. But Frank himself talked smack about Rawk often... We did go from Modern to PostMod - after all !... Like - how is the Life of Bowie any kind of dull ??
	8:44am Meghan: I have only heard bad things about the Bowie movie....
	8:44am TDK60: They could use this on that Wake show over there..
	8:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems to me that RawkStars are so charismatic themselves - & use Identity & Image as part of their palette. So getting some schmuck outta Hollywood to sub for them...
	8:46am Yvang: Wape up songs coud be a theme....he he
	8:46am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Revolution: The comic feels like I am reading an illustrated Wikipedia page. Many pages are <date> [Huge slab of exposition] There isn't enough insight. The dialogue is often superficial or lame. I'm nearing the end of the book and there's a new level of laziness. The format is <date> Picture of Bowie just saying the city he's playing in.
	8:46am Brian in UK: It is 5.45 and the cat is walking all over me. Wanting food. Wet nose in the ear. AAAAH.
	8:47am Meghan: I never watched the Queen or Elton John movies.... but I am also not a fan so they didn't interest me. I did watch the Simpsons one that made fun of Morrissey
	8:47am Yvang: @Spatulator : Sounds like a bad comics
	8:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Comics like Movies are supposed to be about Drama & Action... & then they Dramatize an Artist & I just wish I had a good Documentary...
	8:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but there's no MegaMoney in that...
	8:48am Doug Schulkind: Hello you handsome devils! The Drummer Stream has more good, clean fun in store for you today. Coming up next... GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME (9-noon, ET) with some random dude, live from Pittsburgh, PA wfmu.org... Immediately following will be... HINKY DINKY TIME (Noon-3pm, ET) with Uncle Michael, live from Topeka, KS wfmu.org... Then, after a nice nap, you get... ACID JAZZ HANDS (7-9pm, ET) with Bronwyn Bishop, live from NYC wfmu.org...
	8:49am Brian in UK: There was a brief piece this week about Steven getting very upset about the Simpsons.
	8:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morrissey was our great AntiThatcherite Poet & now wtf.
	8:51am Brian in UK: Linton Kwesi Johnson was tops over here years ago.
	8:51am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Meghan: I never saw the Queen or Elton John films. I tend to prefer documentaries over reenactments. @Yang: I wish the book was better. Instead of trying to do one page per event, go into depth into less things.
	8:51am Meghan: haha yes he was very unhappy about it and how he was portrayed. Though I will say I thought it was good. Lisa finds his music and connects to the early days of it and then sees him live and realizes what a self centered dick he is. But it helped her express herself.
	8:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice Lisa ! :D
	8:52am TDK60: LKJ! Brian. Is he still active?
	8:55am HyperDose: Thanks Meghan! Your show is so fun, I should get up earlier on Fridays. Little Danny's Cool Blue Flame keeps us up a bit later around here. ^_^
	8:58am TDK60: Merci, Meghan. I'll try to stop by more often.
	8:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - I thot Scorsese did the Dylan documentary right: taking this mass of material & pulling a narrative out of it that was coherent & even relevant ! But he's Scorsese...
	8:59am Doug Schulkind: @HyperDose Tell me about it!
	8:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whomp just like that ! ! Thanks Meghan !! Flawless Playlist. Always appreciated.
	9:00am Yvang: Thanks Meghan!
	9:00am Brian in UK: Thanks, Meghan.

We want to recognize things - but not be bored either. If so - what is it about the brain of the FMUvian that is wired so differently !... NH's small coast & the southern bit of the state are a bit more like Mass. ...I'm in the damn hills...
	8:20am Meghan: Brian- that is a real struggle for me. I go back and forth all the time about that. I want to own the album. There is a tactile quality to holding it, reading it and having a memory attached to the song. A lot of my digital stuff I download and forget. It gets lost. But owning things takes space. And if I buy an album it has to be good cause it costs so much. But i agree, I am done with CD's
	8:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brian in UK: I always wanted to Own all the Music in the World !! ...So the digital revolution is startling ! I think of Dylan stealing Guthrie albums because there was no other source - or George Harrison saying after the War there you couldn't a cup of sugar let alone a Rawk'n'Roll record - o Donovan talking about learning Blues off 78s ! & now it's a gushing firehose of content I'll never have time for...
	8:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jut listenig to a podcast on TheBeatles - & the old critics talking about Ringo putting out an EP not an Album as a sign of the times...
	8:24am Brian in UK: Rev, I think we FMU types use musics as the acceptance of how important it is to our lives, not just background. That is not necessarily nerdy but certainly can be. Like Aldous Huxley on mescalin, wanting to know everything that has happened in the world. EVER.
	8:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Problem with no Artefact is the Internet Providers & such get all the money & the Artists get f*cked.
	8:25am Meghan: I dunno... I throw a lot of money at the little guys even using spotify. I use spotify to find music and then I go buy it!
	8:25am Brian in UK: Meghan certainly with records, the art work was often critical to the object. Try rolling up on a CD!!!.
	8:26am leshwatt: The internet is wonderful and cruel at the same time. I used to buy vinyl and cd’s out of curiosity about the band. Now you just point and click. The artist gets screwed of course. I’m embarrassed about being on Spotify but I’m a music junkie and I NEED my daily fix.
	8:26am Meghan: hahaha. I used to keep those long cardboard CD cases that you would get as wall art
	8:27am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Meghan.
	8:27am leshwatt: Yeah I would buy an album just cause it looked cool. You could almost pick a great band by its album art.
	8:27am Meghan: morning TDK60!
	8:27am Brian in UK: Enjoying this set, goes well with the sunny day. Hey TDK60
	8:28am TDK60: Hiya Brian! (east of Wales)
	8:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...otherwise I'm delighted to get everything anytime online ! Just open a vein & stick the FMU stream in me - &tc. ... Yes but Meghan you are much more financially functional than I ever was. ...Yeah - the Art - & it's not sitting with the Album, yerknow ? There are scores of Artists I hear only on FMU - they mean as much to me as any Music ever has to - but I'm not collecting them in my home & learning Names & details...
	8:28am Meghan: I would never shame anyone's use of music platforms. I just shame on the music being played.... hahaha
	8:28am HyperDose: @Meghan I've only done the Faneuil Hall tourist thing. Newbury Comics had some dope rare stuff though. What kind of music scene does Boston have?
	8:29am Brian in UK: I was not one of those who carried albums around as a kind of badge to show which club you belonged to.
	8:30am TDK60: I will reveal here that indeed I did purchase some albums only due to covers. (I can't recall the percentage of pleasure vs. non-pleasure at this time.)
	8:30am Meghan: Well, I haven't been there in the midst of it since 1999... so it's been a while, but man there is an AMAZING scene there! Think about it, all those colleges... you get all the touring bands and all the upcoming bands... I've done all Boston music shows before. Seriously a great scene
	8:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's all changed / changing so rapidly that it's whiplash futureshock...
	8:31am Meghan: Boston will always have a good punk/hardcore/indie scene
	8:32am HyperDose: The only place I'd never tour is St. Louis. Haven't heard of one band that didn't get their van broken into or the whole van + trailer flat out stolen.
	8:33am Brian in UK: Remember the David St Hubbins saying that Boston is not much of a college town. In the Seventies over here, universities were probably the best place to see bands and maybe even have them crash at your place afterwards.
	8:34am Meghan: I have had many touring hardcore bands crash at my place and be their border crossing phone call. Had members of Godspeed You Black Emperor crash at my place here in JC.
	8:35am BillD: Good morning from sunny but chilly Orange County NY.
	8:35am HyperDose: I just love that Harvey Danger (yes, the Flagpole Sitta guys)started out as college chums who didn't even really play. The drummer used a paint tub as a drum. If that isn't Clinton's America, I don't know what is.
	8:35am TDK60: I'll never reveal the times I bought an album, didn't like it, gave it away, then later came to like it. There's only so much embarrassment I can take in one day.
	8:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always say I'm not ashamed of what I used to like - but what I remember I couldn't get to yet !
	8:37am TDK60: Meghan, I love GY!BE. Intense. Saw 'em twice.
	8:38am Brian in UK: Making up band names and then asking those who thought they were cool whether they liked them. My favourite was Plastic Tearful.
	8:38am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Hey everyone. I just got home from the gym. I'm currently reading a Bowie biography that's a comic. It's really disappointing.
	8:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The dream is to be Friends & then a Band. I held out for stuff & just got old... Even TheBeatles met over John's band...
	8:38am leshwatt: I listen to stuff now that I wouldn’t have even thought about listening to 30 years ago.
	8:38am Meghan: my husband went to college in Montreal so his friends knew them.... one of those things. Been lucky to see them a bunch of times! My friend does sound for them
	8:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Spatulator that almost never seems to work. & there are genius Artists who could do it too !...
	8:39am Brian in UK: Whoda thought that I would like mid Fifties Frank Sinatra.
	8:41am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Revolution: I wanted to like this book but it's just so dull.
	8:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I remember being a little shit in grade school identifying completley with my Who albums. Outta the Library I got Eno, the Staples, Curtis Mayfield - couldn't get to any of them ! Imagine ! Brian in UK exactly. But Frank himself talked smack about Rawk often... We did go from Modern to PostMod - after all !... Like - how is the Life of Bowie any kind of dull ??
	8:44am Meghan: I have only heard bad things about the Bowie movie....
	8:44am TDK60: They could use this on that Wake show over there..
	8:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seems to me that RawkStars are so charismatic themselves - & use Identity & Image as part of their palette. So getting some schmuck outta Hollywood to sub for them...
	8:46am Yvang: Wape up songs coud be a theme....he he
	8:46am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Revolution: The comic feels like I am reading an illustrated Wikipedia page. Many pages are <date> [Huge slab of exposition] There isn't enough insight. The dialogue is often superficial or lame. I'm nearing the end of the book and there's a new level of laziness. The format is <date> Picture of Bowie just saying the city he's playing in.
	8:46am Brian in UK: It is 5.45 and the cat is walking all over me. Wanting food. Wet nose in the ear. AAAAH.
	8:47am Meghan: I never watched the Queen or Elton John movies.... but I am also not a fan so they didn't interest me. I did watch the Simpsons one that made fun of Morrissey
	8:47am Yvang: @Spatulator : Sounds like a bad comics
	8:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Comics like Movies are supposed to be about Drama & Action... & then they Dramatize an Artist & I just wish I had a good Documentary...
	8:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but there's no MegaMoney in that...
	8:48am Doug Schulkind: Hello you handsome devils! The Drummer Stream has more good, clean fun in store for you today. Coming up next... GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME (9-noon, ET) with some random dude, live from Pittsburgh, PA wfmu.org... Immediately following will be... HINKY DINKY TIME (Noon-3pm, ET) with Uncle Michael, live from Topeka, KS wfmu.org... Then, after a nice nap, you get... ACID JAZZ HANDS (7-9pm, ET) with Bronwyn Bishop, live from NYC wfmu.org...
	8:49am Brian in UK: There was a brief piece this week about Steven getting very upset about the Simpsons.
	8:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morrissey was our great AntiThatcherite Poet & now wtf.
	8:51am Brian in UK: Linton Kwesi Johnson was tops over here years ago.
	8:51am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Meghan: I never saw the Queen or Elton John films. I tend to prefer documentaries over reenactments. @Yang: I wish the book was better. Instead of trying to do one page per event, go into depth into less things.
	8:51am Meghan: haha yes he was very unhappy about it and how he was portrayed. Though I will say I thought it was good. Lisa finds his music and connects to the early days of it and then sees him live and realizes what a self centered dick he is. But it helped her express herself.
	8:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nice Lisa ! :D
	8:52am TDK60: LKJ! Brian. Is he still active?
	8:55am HyperDose: Thanks Meghan! Your show is so fun, I should get up earlier on Fridays. Little Danny's Cool Blue Flame keeps us up a bit later around here. ^_^
	8:58am TDK60: Merci, Meghan. I'll try to stop by more often.
	8:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - I thot Scorsese did the Dylan documentary right: taking this mass of material & pulling a narrative out of it that was coherent & even relevant ! But he's Scorsese...
	8:59am Doug Schulkind: @HyperDose Tell me about it!
	8:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whomp just like that ! ! Thanks Meghan !! Flawless Playlist. Always appreciated.
	9:00am Yvang: Thanks Meghan!
	9:00am Brian in UK: Thanks, Meghan.
