	12:13pm Charlie: Stash 'em if you've got 'em!

	12:28pm Charlie: What's everyone else drinking? First round's on me.
	12:28pm listener james from westwood: "Oh my god! Tramampoline! Trabampoline!"
	12:29pm Brian in UK: Hello Charlie. Just in time for an Old Fashioned, thank you.
	12:31pm Charlie: Coming up, Brian:)
	12:31pm Brian in UK: Charlie, have you finished studying?
	12:33pm Charlie: Yes Brian, got my degree January 2020
	12:36pm Charlie: Speaking of drinking, I recently gave up caffeine (at least temporarily). The first week was hell! But feeling pretty "normal" now.
	12:37pm βrian: I give up caffeine every day at about 4.pm.
	12:38pm Charlie: βrian -- yes, exactly!
	12:39pm Brian in UK: Belated Congratulations.
	12:40pm Marie: Hey, really enjoying the show. Busy working (and for a while trying to repeatedly find the end of this damn clear tape roll!)
	12:42pm Charlie: Hi Marie! Hope you're getting paid to find the end of that tape roll -- that's hard work!
	12:43pm annie: so, i see the correct amount of nerds in attendance a question about Filing business cards: by Product? or Name/manufacturer?
	12:43pm Little Danny: Hi Charlie, pleasure to find you here!
	12:43pm Brian C.: Charlie, you and I might be the only ones who own this LP
	12:44pm Brian C.: (er "Press On")
	12:45pm Little Danny: The best part about forgoing caffeine is relapsing.
	12:47pm TDK60: Hi Charlie.
	12:48pm βrian: Why Ontario? The map, I mean.
	12:49pm βrian: I'm a librarian, but not a map librarian, sadly. Maps are fun.
	12:50pm jan: I'm back in the headphones. I was called away! I'll have to revisit @ the archive
	12:51pm still b/p: This show is very very good. Would be fine anywhere, but in the beastly heat, I'd like to be listening with a friend-made gin and tonic on the porch of a funky cottage of character.
	12:52pm Charlie: Hi Brian C -- yes, you may be correct!
	12:53pm Charlie: Pleasure to see you, Little Danny!
	12:53pm chresti: Little Danny, the one time I forwent caffeine was when I was pregnant in 1987-88. Imagine my dismay years later when caffeine was no longer considered harmful to the fetus.
	12:53pm βrian: Between Two Cans seems like a likely Drummer Stream show.
	12:53pm Charlie: Yo, TDK60!
	12:53pm Marie: Nothing quite like satisfying an addiction....@o
	12:54pm Charlie: βrian: I just cut up old maps for collage. liked the way that one looked, and the place names
	12:54pm TDK60: Great to hear folk music. \| Ho chresti. I'm making iced tea right now, the kind with caffeine.
	12:55pm Charlie: hi still b/p :)
	12:55pm Marie: I smoked cigarettes for a while and it was so hard to quit
	12:55pm Little Danny: Sorry, Chresti! I would say you were thusly "building character" but we both know it's not worth it, dammit
	12:56pm TDK60: Years ago I quit alcohol, then cigz. Still got my two 'C's: caffeine and cannabis.
	12:56pm Little Danny: So Charlie why the caffeine embargo?
	12:57pm chresti: Hi ho TDK60, I'm glad! \\ // LD, the only character I was building was my son.
	12:57pm Little Danny: hehe chresti well that worked out then!
	12:59pm βrian: We made the mistake of letting Little Human have a sip of some extremely strong espresso, thinking it would, amusingly, curl her hair. She's immediately began pestering us for coffee.
	12:59pm Marie: Hey TDK60, me too, though not in that order @)
	1:00pm Charlie: Little Danny: in short, BPH
	1:00pm Marie: I love Elvis's voice and how he sings
	1:01pm Little Danny: Gotcha, Charlie. Godspeed sir.
	1:02pm listener james from westwood: Sympathies on that, Charlie.
	1:02pm Charlie: I quit ciggies 15 yrs ago. Still crave 'em.
	1:04pm Charlie: ty, james. workin' on it.
	1:05pm TDK60: I was at a festival in England a few years ago (Before) ---fellow hands me a joint. Oops, it was the European style joint: half tobacco; I almost fainted.
	1:06pm βrian: I thought this was a Laurie parody. I guess only Laurie would know.
	1:12pm Carmichael: Heya Charlie, I'll have a Screaming Viking.
	1:13pm Charlie: Hey, Carmichael, I'm going to have to consult the manual for that one1
	1:14pm Carmichael: They made one on Cheers. Can't remember what's in it.
	1:17pm still b/p: The brand of the already-mixed version in a bottle is Leif Hystericson.
	1:23pm Charlie: haha!
	1:24pm Phillippe: Love this FB3!
	1:24pm βrian: @TDK60: I used to think marijuana might be a gateway drug to tobacco. That scared me straight — for a while, anyway.
	1:28pm TDK60: Los Meridians seem loco.
	1:28pm Charlie: βrian: that's how it worked for me, actually!
	1:29pm chresti: This is a nice crazy version of preacherman.
	1:34pm Webhamster Henry: Sorry I can't stick around, Charlie, I have a rehearsal!
	1:34pm Marie: This has all been a very pleasant enterprise
	1:39pm Little Danny: Wow, I love Juana Molina but had no idea about her background in comedy.
	1:44pm Charlie: Hi and 'bye, Henry!
	1:44pm Webhamster Henry: George goes Locrian.
	1:45pm Charlie: He was a holy modal rounder
	1:46pm Charlie: Little Danny, Juana Molina was part of a successful sketch comedy tv show, then had her own show, called Juana y sus Hermanas. Then she quit to make records!
	1:49pm Little Danny: Beautiful. I love the haunting string arrangements on this record.
	1:51pm Charlie: Me too, LD! Also, Bobbie's guitar playing is terrific.
	1:52pm Phillippe: You're killing it today, Charlie! Hey Little Danny, what can I bring tonight? 7 layer dip okay?
	1:53pm Marie: Charlie, ur like playing so many excellent tunes--really hitting all the buttons, like, this elevator is going all the way to the top and beyond. Loving this Robyn H.!
	1:55pm Rick from SC: Hey Charlie. Nice to hear from you
	👻 1:55pm doctorjazz: Love this TMBG!
	1:56pm Charlie: Thanks, Marie! Glad I'm hitting all the buttons:) Hi Rick! Welcome abroad!
	1:56pm Marie: Yeah, I run out of words @)
	1:57pm Little Danny: Oh yes Phillippe that would be lovely, I'll even clean and return the serving bowl after the party's over.
	1:57pm βrian: If we keep Busy Doing Nothing for long enough, we'll get full credit for a year abroad.
	2:09pm Phillippe: That would be perfect, LD. Funny story, I come from an old Polish family and my late grandmother would always make sauerkraut and kielbasa according to the old family recipe. On the holidays she'd bring over a soup pot full of it. When we were done eating she would never let anyone wash her pot -- she said she'd take it home to wash it. It took a little while for us to catch on that it would have to be emptied to be cleaned and the leftovers in the pot might not all make it home with her. She was a real trip.
	👻 2:12pm doctorjazz: Great set! Crenshaw, another fave!
	2:12pm Carmichael: Party at Danny's place!
	2:13pm Charlie: This is my fave Marshall Crenshaw album. It's also the one he disowned bc of Steve Liliwhite's production.
	2:13pm Charlie: [Lillywhite]
	👻 2:14pm doctorjazz: Ahhh....
	2:15pm annie: damn, iris dement.. sigh
	2:15pm Phillippe: This Iris is so sweet... Hey doctorjazz!
	👻 2:16pm doctorjazz: Busy as hell in the office, you're not helping things, Charlie!!!!😜
	2:17pm Charlie: I do what I can to decrease productivity, doctorjazz...
	👻 2:17pm doctorjazz: Hey, Philippe!
	2:19pm chresti: Thanks Charlie! Gotta go meet the tow truck outside..
	2:20pm Phillippe: Thanks for that Charlie! Because around my co-workers, I'm known as the guy that really multitasks effectively. Well, maybe that's someone else. Hey chresti! Carvana delivering a new Jaguar?
	2:22pm Charlie: seeya chresti
	2:24pm Carmichael: They're towing Franco away ...😜
	2:30pm Charlie: You're towing my heart away...
	2:32pm Funky16Corners: Hey Charlie!
	2:32pm Charlie: Hi Larry! Warming up in the bullpen?
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3PM ET - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/107149
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: Yes indeed!
	2:38pm Carmichael: What year was that Dylan?
	2:40pm Charlie: 1970 I think. New Morning. last track.
	👻 2:40pm doctorjazz: Probably not near radio when you end, thanks, Charlie, always dig the show!
	2:41pm Charlie: thanks doctorjazz!
	2:42pm Carmichael: I quit listening to Dylan after Slow Train Comin', or whatever that was called.
	2:47pm Rick from SC: Yumbo was a ham and cheese sandwich from Burger King back in the 70s
	2:50pm Funky16Corners: This Blanketship is cool
	2:52pm Charlie: I'll have a Yumbo and two Whalers.
	2:52pm Charlie: Larry, that whole Motown Meltdown album is, well, a mind meltdown!
	2:52pm Carmichael: And a Bonus Jack for me.
	2:52pm Charlie: The link has a free download:)

	12:56pm Little Danny: So Charlie why the caffeine embargo?
	12:57pm chresti: Hi ho TDK60, I'm glad! \\ // LD, the only character I was building was my son.
	12:57pm Little Danny: hehe chresti well that worked out then!
	12:59pm βrian: We made the mistake of letting Little Human have a sip of some extremely strong espresso, thinking it would, amusingly, curl her hair. She's immediately began pestering us for coffee.
	12:59pm Marie: Hey TDK60, me too, though not in that order @)
	1:00pm Charlie: Little Danny: in short, BPH
	1:00pm Marie: I love Elvis's voice and how he sings
	1:01pm Little Danny: Gotcha, Charlie. Godspeed sir.
	1:02pm listener james from westwood: Sympathies on that, Charlie.
	1:02pm Charlie: I quit ciggies 15 yrs ago. Still crave 'em.
	1:04pm Charlie: ty, james. workin' on it.
	1:05pm TDK60: I was at a festival in England a few years ago (Before) ---fellow hands me a joint. Oops, it was the European style joint: half tobacco; I almost fainted.
	1:06pm βrian: I thought this was a Laurie parody. I guess only Laurie would know.
	1:12pm Carmichael: Heya Charlie, I'll have a Screaming Viking.
	1:13pm Charlie: Hey, Carmichael, I'm going to have to consult the manual for that one1
	1:14pm Carmichael: They made one on Cheers. Can't remember what's in it.
	1:17pm still b/p: The brand of the already-mixed version in a bottle is Leif Hystericson.
	1:23pm Charlie: haha!
	1:24pm Phillippe: Love this FB3!
	1:24pm βrian: @TDK60: I used to think marijuana might be a gateway drug to tobacco. That scared me straight — for a while, anyway.
	1:28pm TDK60: Los Meridians seem loco.
	1:28pm Charlie: βrian: that's how it worked for me, actually!
	1:29pm chresti: This is a nice crazy version of preacherman.
	1:34pm Webhamster Henry: Sorry I can't stick around, Charlie, I have a rehearsal!
	1:34pm Marie: This has all been a very pleasant enterprise
	1:39pm Little Danny: Wow, I love Juana Molina but had no idea about her background in comedy.
	1:44pm Charlie: Hi and 'bye, Henry!
	1:44pm Webhamster Henry: George goes Locrian.
	1:45pm Charlie: He was a holy modal rounder
	1:46pm Charlie: Little Danny, Juana Molina was part of a successful sketch comedy tv show, then had her own show, called Juana y sus Hermanas. Then she quit to make records!
	1:49pm Little Danny: Beautiful. I love the haunting string arrangements on this record.
	1:51pm Charlie: Me too, LD! Also, Bobbie's guitar playing is terrific.
	1:52pm Phillippe: You're killing it today, Charlie! Hey Little Danny, what can I bring tonight? 7 layer dip okay?
	1:53pm Marie: Charlie, ur like playing so many excellent tunes--really hitting all the buttons, like, this elevator is going all the way to the top and beyond. Loving this Robyn H.!
	1:55pm Rick from SC: Hey Charlie. Nice to hear from you
	👻 1:55pm doctorjazz: Love this TMBG!
	1:56pm Charlie: Thanks, Marie! Glad I'm hitting all the buttons:) Hi Rick! Welcome abroad!
	1:56pm Marie: Yeah, I run out of words @)
	1:57pm Little Danny: Oh yes Phillippe that would be lovely, I'll even clean and return the serving bowl after the party's over.
	1:57pm βrian: If we keep Busy Doing Nothing for long enough, we'll get full credit for a year abroad.
	2:09pm Phillippe: That would be perfect, LD. Funny story, I come from an old Polish family and my late grandmother would always make sauerkraut and kielbasa according to the old family recipe. On the holidays she'd bring over a soup pot full of it. When we were done eating she would never let anyone wash her pot -- she said she'd take it home to wash it. It took a little while for us to catch on that it would have to be emptied to be cleaned and the leftovers in the pot might not all make it home with her. She was a real trip.
	👻 2:12pm doctorjazz: Great set! Crenshaw, another fave!
	2:12pm Carmichael: Party at Danny's place!
	2:13pm Charlie: This is my fave Marshall Crenshaw album. It's also the one he disowned bc of Steve Liliwhite's production.
