	9:18pm ShelbyG: I love the set so far. Front 242! Hi Mona! errrrrybody
	9:19pm listener James from Westwood: Ohhhh, I put this Front 242 on so many ‘90s mix tapes!
	♥ 9:20pm Stevel: Front 242 videos were always welcome and satisfying.
	9:20pm ShelbyG: One, you lock the target Two, you bait the line Three, you slowly spread the net And four, you catch the man Freeze, shoot to kill or die Freeze, shoot to kill or die
	♥ 9:20pm joe mulligan: I danced like a complete maniac to this song in the late 90s club Revival Philly
	9:21pm ShelbyG: @James: me too, so many mixed tapes
	9:21pm Robm: @Andres when I check the website no go on the video, typical wfmu tech screw ups:)
	9:21pm Andres: Hey, Shelby! I saw Front 242 as part of ‘93 Lollapalooza. Biggest in unison pogoing mosh pit I’ve ever been a part of!
	9:21pm ShelbyG: Hi Andres! awww mosh pits!
	9:22pm ShelbyG: Mona. Whatever your genre is, it's fantastic. Very, very nostalgic for me so far!
	9:23pm Cooh John: HH, helloooooo
	♥ 9:24pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, I guess that's when I saw Front 242 too! Front Twofer Tutu?
	♥ 9:24pm Will the Sound Guy: Whatup Mona and all!
	9:24pm ShelbyG: She reminds me so much of Dale Bozzio.
	♥ 9:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Her uncle must have been Bobby Vee, who played the show that Buddy Holly tragically didn't make.
	9:25pm ShelbyG: I don't think I saw Front 242. I did see Ministry Land of Milk & Honey tour. Why do I aways mix these bands up????
	♥ 9:25pm Handy Haversack: WATCH OUT, VENUS!
	9:26pm Andres: 🤘
	9:27pm ShelbyG: I don't have the wherewithal to list you all, but I want to say, I am virtually greeting you all individually, my friends.
	9:28pm ShelbyG: All I can think about is hearing Japan. Or anything David Sylvianesque. Just sharin m'feelz.
	9:28pm Robm: @ShelbyG greetings to you too
	9:31pm upstatesean: Love your shows Mona. Been commuting (driving) to your archives for , how long you been doing your show? Over a year now. So good
	9:31pm Andres: The sun made for a soft landing. A little warm, though.
	9:32pm ShelbyG: in my imagination room we are all hanging out...I see Robm & tip my hat..hey Ken finger pistol..Cooh, rolling my eyes at Handy for his shlocky sense of humor...my avatar would be me, shaved head, rayban's, sweats n' flip flops. I wish I had made an effort, but then thought, wgaf?? Mona is spinning. We're all smiling & chatting & dancin.
	9:33pm Andres: upstatesean: I always start driving a lot faster when I’ve got a Mona archive playing!
	9:34pm ShelbyG: oh..and Andres is talking about obscure soul 45's
	9:34pm ShelbyG: I better chill out...don't wanna get bounced ;p
	9:35pm Andres: ... that ‘FMU taught me about :)
	♥ 9:35pm Handy Haversack: Winter 2020, K8 couldn't go running, we were trapped in the apt., I had to work every day while her work waxed and waned, everything was a little tense and crazy making -- so K8 started dancing to Mona archives in the kitchen, just a three-hour solo dance sanity-saving party for one. That's a mitzvah, Mona.

	♥ 9:45pm TonyR: I've taken up 5-mile walks. At my weight, an actual run would destroy my knees and back in a matter of days.
	9:50pm ShelbyG: I can't wait .. I've never heard your show before, Mona. Not that I'm aware of, & I'm sure I would remember. By your own description, almost anything could happen...zoinks!😬
	9:51pm Andres: Cabaret Voltaire blew my teenaged mind. So great. RIP Richard.

	♥ 10:26pm TonyR: "mimes immesurably superior to ours"??
	10:26pm De Fenestrated: Fab Show
	♥ 10:27pm D Rok: Excuse me... MUSICAL version of War of the Worlds!? And they thought we were an inferior species...
	10:28pm Jocelyn: This show tonight is amazing! Happy Friday everyone!
	♥ 10:28pm TonyR: Mona used to be Saturday at Midnight, after Marty McSorly, then Thursday at Midnight after Dave the Spazz; now Fridays at 9!!
	10:28pm Andres: Digging the groove of intergalactic war!
	♥ 10:29pm D Rok: Mona kicked Ray Boogie's ass and took his time slot.
	10:30pm rich the greeb: Holy shit! This is fantastic to walk home from the train listening to
	♥ 10:30pm TonyR: Now, now. We're all friends here!
	10:31pm ShelbyG: I really enjoyed Ray Boogie's show. I am really excited about Mona's show. Seasons change.
	10:31pm Andres: Ray Boogie brought the party every moment he was here.
	10:31pm Jeff_from_Harrison: i was not aware i wanted this
	♥ 10:31pm TonyR: I dunno. It sounds like a Moody Blue or two is involved in this tune.
	10:32pm ruby: I hope you are all as stoned as I am and really loving this right now ❤
	10:33pm Andres: YES!!
	10:33pm rich the greeb: Yaasssssss
	♥ 10:33pm D Rok: @ShelbyG: Agreed! Good music is good music, and I want all our WFMU DJs to have success and happiness. It's just a shame there are only so many time slots in a week.
	10:33pm ShelbyG: very very smoothe
	♥ 10:35pm TonyR: Remember, kids. THere is an October "Silent Fundraiser" for WFMU every year, during which you get to vote for your favorite shows with your dollars. ("They're called 'dollar votes'!)
	10:36pm ShelbyG: D Rok:I haven't been around for long..I don't know...is this seasonal change up pretty average or is it a "shake up"?
	10:37pm Andres: “Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat.” ATF lyric.
	♥ 10:38pm Stephen O: All WFMU is good WFMU as long as it is WFMU
	♥ 10:38pm Stephen O: Just keep listening
	♥ 10:40pm TonyR: Lisa!!! I wore this album out in college!! She's not readily available in the digital age, except YouTube rips. TY, Mona!!!
	10:41pm Andres: Nancy Drew!
	♥ 10:42pm D Rok: ShelbyG: They change the schedule twice per year. Some DJs move times. Others come and go. Sometimes they leave temporarily, sometimes permanently. Sometimes they just want a break. Sometimes Station manager Ken has to make tough calls to create space to give new DJs opportunities. I can't imagine how stressful it must be for everyone.
	♥ 10:43pm TonyR: FWIW, the 3 stream schedules change over time, but not seasonally like the FM signal. More stability.
	♥ 10:43pm Stephen O: No matter how the schedule is arranged, it is always an embarrassment of riches.
	♥ 10:44pm Stephen O: We are the luckiest listeners
	♥ 10:44pm D Rok: @Stephen O: Indeed!
	10:44pm ruby: drag race fans checking in!
	♥ 10:45pm TonyR: Yup. Not enough time in the day to hear everything I already love. I literally can't listen to all my Friday faves on Friday. Gotta hit the archives.
	♥ 10:46pm medson: Nice tunes happening
	♥ 10:46pm Heavy Chevy: <3
	♥ 10:47pm TonyR: Mona is crushing her first Prime Time shift.
	10:47pm ruby: Michelle Visage checking in!!
	♥ 10:48pm D Rok: That Lisa album cover is fantastic.
	♥ 10:49pm TonyR: THere was another dance-floor filler from Lisa ("Sex Dance", IIRC.)
	♥ 10:50pm Will the Sound Guy: hi Mona and all, hope everyone is doing well tonight
	10:51pm Andres: Totally missed Seduction all this time. Great!!

	9:18pm Jeezy: yeeessssss
	9:18pm Andres: Video stream might be a glitch on the app. Not showing as available on home page or Accu-Playlist.
	9:18pm ShelbyG: I love the set so far. Front 242! Hi Mona! errrrrybody
	9:19pm listener James from Westwood: Ohhhh, I put this Front 242 on so many ‘90s mix tapes!
	♥ 9:20pm Stevel: Front 242 videos were always welcome and satisfying.
	9:20pm ShelbyG: One, you lock the target Two, you bait the line Three, you slowly spread the net And four, you catch the man Freeze, shoot to kill or die Freeze, shoot to kill or die
	♥ 9:20pm joe mulligan: I danced like a complete maniac to this song in the late 90s club Revival Philly

	9:21pm ShelbyG: Hi Andres! awww mosh pits!

	9:24pm ShelbyG: She reminds me so much of Dale Bozzio.
	♥ 9:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Her uncle must have been Bobby Vee, who played the show that Buddy Holly tragically didn't make.
	9:25pm ShelbyG: I don't think I saw Front 242. I did see Ministry Land of Milk & Honey tour. Why do I aways mix these bands up????
	♥ 9:25pm Handy Haversack: WATCH OUT, VENUS!
	9:26pm Andres: 🤘
	9:27pm ShelbyG: I don't have the wherewithal to list you all, but I want to say, I am virtually greeting you all individually, my friends.
	9:28pm ShelbyG: All I can think about is hearing Japan. Or anything David Sylvianesque. Just sharin m'feelz.
	9:28pm Robm: @ShelbyG greetings to you too
	9:31pm upstatesean: Love your shows Mona. Been commuting (driving) to your archives for , how long you been doing your show? Over a year now. So good
	9:31pm Andres: The sun made for a soft landing. A little warm, though.
	9:32pm ShelbyG: in my imagination room we are all hanging out...I see Robm & tip my hat..hey Ken finger pistol..Cooh, rolling my eyes at Handy for his shlocky sense of humor...my avatar would be me, shaved head, rayban's, sweats n' flip flops. I wish I had made an effort, but then thought, wgaf?? Mona is spinning. We're all smiling & chatting & dancin.
	9:33pm Andres: upstatesean: I always start driving a lot faster when I’ve got a Mona archive playing!
	9:34pm ShelbyG: oh..and Andres is talking about obscure soul 45's
	9:34pm ShelbyG: I better chill out...don't wanna get bounced ;p
	9:35pm Andres: ... that ‘FMU taught me about :)
	♥ 9:35pm Handy Haversack: Winter 2020, K8 couldn't go running, we were trapped in the apt., I had to work every day while her work waxed and waned, everything was a little tense and crazy making -- so K8 started dancing to Mona archives in the kitchen, just a three-hour solo dance sanity-saving party for one. That's a mitzvah, Mona.

	♥ 9:45pm TonyR: I've taken up 5-mile walks. At my weight, an actual run would destroy my knees and back in a matter of days.
	9:50pm ShelbyG: I can't wait .. I've never heard your show before, Mona. Not that I'm aware of, & I'm sure I would remember. By your own description, almost anything could happen...zoinks!😬
	9:51pm Andres: Cabaret Voltaire blew my teenaged mind. So great. RIP Richard.

	10:26pm De Fenestrated: Fab Show
	♥ 10:27pm D Rok: Excuse me... MUSICAL version of War of the Worlds!? And they thought we were an inferior species...
	10:28pm Jocelyn: This show tonight is amazing! Happy Friday everyone!
	♥ 10:28pm TonyR: Mona used to be Saturday at Midnight, after Marty McSorly, then Thursday at Midnight after Dave the Spazz; now Fridays at 9!!
	10:28pm Andres: Digging the groove of intergalactic war!
	♥ 10:29pm D Rok: Mona kicked Ray Boogie's ass and took his time slot.
	10:30pm rich the greeb: Holy shit! This is fantastic to walk home from the train listening to
	♥ 10:30pm TonyR: Now, now. We're all friends here!
	10:31pm ShelbyG: I really enjoyed Ray Boogie's show. I am really excited about Mona's show. Seasons change.
	10:31pm Andres: Ray Boogie brought the party every moment he was here.
	10:31pm Jeff_from_Harrison: i was not aware i wanted this
	♥ 10:31pm TonyR: I dunno. It sounds like a Moody Blue or two is involved in this tune.
	10:32pm ruby: I hope you are all as stoned as I am and really loving this right now ❤
	10:33pm Andres: YES!!
	10:33pm rich the greeb: Yaasssssss
	♥ 10:33pm D Rok: @ShelbyG: Agreed! Good music is good music, and I want all our WFMU DJs to have success and happiness. It's just a shame there are only so many time slots in a week.
	10:33pm ShelbyG: very very smoothe
	♥ 10:35pm TonyR: Remember, kids. THere is an October "Silent Fundraiser" for WFMU every year, during which you get to vote for your favorite shows with your dollars. ("They're called 'dollar votes'!)
	10:36pm ShelbyG: D Rok:I haven't been around for long..I don't know...is this seasonal change up pretty average or is it a "shake up"?
	10:37pm Andres: “Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat.” ATF lyric.
	♥ 10:38pm Stephen O: All WFMU is good WFMU as long as it is WFMU
	♥ 10:38pm Stephen O: Just keep listening
	♥ 10:40pm TonyR: Lisa!!! I wore this album out in college!! She's not readily available in the digital age, except YouTube rips. TY, Mona!!!
	10:41pm Andres: Nancy Drew!
	♥ 10:42pm D Rok: ShelbyG: They change the schedule twice per year. Some DJs move times. Others come and go. Sometimes they leave temporarily, sometimes permanently. Sometimes they just want a break. Sometimes Station manager Ken has to make tough calls to create space to give new DJs opportunities. I can't imagine how stressful it must be for everyone.
	♥ 10:43pm TonyR: FWIW, the 3 stream schedules change over time, but not seasonally like the FM signal. More stability.
	♥ 10:43pm Stephen O: No matter how the schedule is arranged, it is always an embarrassment of riches.
	♥ 10:44pm Stephen O: We are the luckiest listeners
	♥ 10:44pm D Rok: @Stephen O: Indeed!
	10:44pm ruby: drag race fans checking in!
	♥ 10:45pm TonyR: Yup. Not enough time in the day to hear everything I already love. I literally can't listen to all my Friday faves on Friday. Gotta hit the archives.
	♥ 10:46pm medson: Nice tunes happening
	♥ 10:46pm Heavy Chevy: <3
	♥ 10:47pm TonyR: Mona is crushing her first Prime Time shift.

	♥ 10:48pm D Rok: That Lisa album cover is fantastic.
	♥ 10:49pm TonyR: THere was another dance-floor filler from Lisa ("Sex Dance", IIRC.)
	♥ 10:50pm Will the Sound Guy: hi Mona and all, hope everyone is doing well tonight
	10:51pm Andres: Totally missed Seduction all this time. Great!!
