	♥ 12:00pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	♥ 12:01pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon, Irene and all! First Monday so far where I was digging for outerwear. Finally fall!
	♥ 12:01pm Irene Trudel: Welcome Mx. Baba Bee, Sean, Summer and Michael and Sylvia, james and all listening in! Gonna be a wild ride through the grooves today.
	🥁 ♥ 12:01pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: hey there, Sean in Bristol UK! Summer and Michael and Sylvia! listener james from westwood!
	12:02pm Billy Mince: Great start with the fantastic Lindisfarne. Afternoon all.
	♥ 12:02pm Brian in UK: Hello Irene, this whole album is a Winter record for me.
	12:02pm annie: i broke out the winter jacket; nice thick cotton flannel thing.
	♥ 12:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irene and chums. The playlist URL is a good poker hand, four eights!
	12:04pm Listener Robert: So, who are the musicians on the Flickr of Oct. 16, after the insurance or landlord damage pix and the pussy cat?
	12:07pm Sylvia: Hello Irene and listeners
	12:07pm Listener Robert: Wow, once again the station tote board took a big jump after (or late during) Mr McGasko's show, reinforcing my suspicion that it stops when he's prepping for his show and has to put down the listener services crank for a few hours.
	♥ 12:07pm Irene Trudel: Hey Billy , Brian, annie, Ken, Sylvia and Robert! Ah, those pictures were of Laurie Anderson, Arto Lindsay and friends. They put on a show at Joe's Pub called Kludge. I didn't get around to labeling them.
	♥ 12:08pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hey there, Mx Baba Bee!
	12:09pm Listener Robert: Is Joe's pub called Kludge, or do those musicians call their show Kludge?
	♥ 12:09pm Brian in UK: Though Tambourine Man is the record that turned my head forever; I think that Turn, Turn, Turn is the best of the early singles. Only taken me fifty five years to reflect on this!!
	♥ 12:11pm Sean in Bristol UK: Greetings Baba Bee, Brian, Robert, Sylvia, Ken, annie, James, Billy, Summer and Michael
	♥ 12:11pm Irene Trudel: Hey all! We're in week 3 of WFMU's Hellraiser. We're trying to raise some much-needed funds to get us through the winter months. If you could drop a pledge, I'd be most appreciative. The Swag for Life Pledges help the most. Click on the box at the top of the playlist to pledge to my show. And Many thanks to those of you who've already done so!
	♥ 12:13pm prguitar: Good afternoon Irene and friends! Glad to be here for a little while on this fall Monday!
	🥁 ♥ 12:14pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: such a wonderful gathering of listeners and chatters here, I wish I could offer each of you the beverage of your choice.
	🥁 ♥ 12:15pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: WISH! Did somebody say wish?
	♥ 12:16pm Irene Trudel: Robert, Kludge was the show, Joe's Pub was the club in NYC.
	♥ 12:18pm Brian in UK: Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧ Just made some Pistachio cake with lemon icing. Samples available in the foyer!!
	♥ 12:18pm Sean in Bristol UK: Her Royal Kateness, thank you Irene
	12:19pm northguineahills: Hello from somewhere!
	🥁 ♥ 12:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: oh, BiUK: that sounds absolutely scrumptious
	♥ 12:23pm Irene Trudel: Welcome prguitar and N.G.H! I send virtual refreshments to all.
	♥ 12:24pm Brian in UK: I cannot grasp the idea that Kate Bush is a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
	♥ 12:26pm Michael 98145: Ah - made it. Love SGS week!
	♥ 12:29pm Sean in Bristol UK: Brian, Kate deserves all plaudits and honours, totally worship this special lady
	♥ 12:29pm alanr: checkin' in from the industrial wasteland of Cleveland (hometown)....
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm TonyR: Caught IT's Oct. 11 show a few days late on the archive, and of course it was stunning, so I threw in a small piece of pumpkin pie today. (Does this get me a drum badge in comments?)
	♥ 12:31pm Brian in UK: Sean, I was surprised that she accepted it.
	12:31pm Listener Robert: Thanks, Irene. Maybe my projection during the first week that the Hell Raiser would need a stretch goal like last year's was premature. It'd take quite a "kick" to get to the goal as early in the month as last year, but getting there comfortably is still quite feasible.
	♥ 12:36pm listener james from westwood: Springfields gettin' lurve!
	♥ 12:36pm alanr: Please do not follow this song with Rick.
	♥ 12:40pm melinda: hi all
	♥ 12:41pm Irene Trudel: Thank you, TonyR! Hi to you, alanr, Michael and melinda!
	12:41pm Peter K.: Loving the show so far. (Of course.)
	♥ 12:42pm solo mon: Hello Irene!
	♥ 12:44pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Irene, you're absolutely killing it! What a great show! x
	♥ 12:45pm listener james from westwood: Bit of a waltz with Glenn—dig it!
	♥ 12:46pm solo mon: Love this Glenn- Ann Magnuson does a good cover of this too!
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Irene. really enjoying this set. hellos all around!
	12:48pm Billy Mince: Lovely Laura N. This is such a beautiful song.
	12:49pm The Knave: Hello from Melbourne! ahhhhh it's so late - what am I doing up!!?
	♥ 12:49pm Irene Trudel: Hey Peter, solo mon and chris! Glad you're all lovin' the tunes.
	♥ 12:50pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yes to this Nilsson.
	12:51pm Sylvia: now we karaoke!
	♥ 12:52pm Irene Trudel: Wow, Knave! Glad you've stayed up.
	12:53pm βrian: I honestly never knew this was Nilsson.
	♥ 12:54pm melinda: ooh, I remember this theme, haunting
	♥ 12:55pm Brian in UK: Oblio?
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I love Nilsson so much. That "Who Is Harry Nilsson" doc was such a treat. No one can make me cry and laugh at the same time like he can.
	12:56pm Listener Robert: That Nitzsche sounds suspiciously like a slowed "Please Release Me, Let Me Go".
	🥁 ♥ 12:57pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: βrian: that is the quintessential Nilsson experience.
	12:57pm Billy Mince: It's Laura Nyro's birthday today too. She would have been 74
	♥ 1:00pm Michael 98145: Love being here in the punkin patch
	♥ 1:02pm Sean in Bristol UK: TODD!
	1:02pm Listener Robert: Now that I Google it, I see it acknowledged that that theme music WAS based on "Please Release Me" -- which makes it a great musical wink, considering what "Cuckoo's Nest" was about.
	♥ 1:03pm Brian in UK: I know his is heretical on FMU but did Todd ever do anything better than this. Pure radio music.
	1:05pm Listener Robert: It's a lot of fun for me to recognize in a piece of music a "wink" like that. I think it was a couple years ago I heard a recent piece on WFMU and recognized in it two passages from the theme from the TV series "The Mothers-In-Law".
	♥ 1:08pm Irene Trudel: Brian, it's a tough call. Todd's written and recorded so many great songs over the years. Cool that you realized the Cockoo theme was based on Please Release Me. I do hear it now.
	1:08pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: Hi Irene and fellow listeners
	♥ 1:10pm Irene Trudel: Hey Annabella!
	♥ 1:17pm Brian in UK: Irene this set is a time piece. It was Listener Robert who heard Release Me but I will take the credit!! The English version of Release Me was by Engelbert Humperdinck, kept Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields off the No.1. Such a vain man.
	♥ 1:18pm doctorjazz: Love this old Traffic! Hi Irene and all out there!
	1:19pm Doug Wieselman: Fun show today !
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I love singing along with this one mimicing all of Donovan's trills and vocal playfulness
	♥ 1:23pm Bas NL: Hi Irene & all! Listening from work and enjoying the singles!
	🥁 ♥ 1:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): You're doing great, Irene! This is so much fun!
	1:29pm LadyChanticleer: Always love hearing Donovan on the airwaves
	♥ 1:32pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Wow after wow. Color us wowed. x
	♥ 1:33pm Sean in Bristol UK: So agree Baba Bee, sublime choice of music
	1:33pm Peter K.: Can we all agree that Irene is the Queen of the Segue?
	🥁 ♥ 1:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yeah! and I'm loving this wistful vibe that is soon about to bounce back again!
	♥ 1:35pm listener james from westwood: brrrp brrrp brrrp brrrp
	🥁 ♥ 1:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): who is it??
	♥ 1:36pm Irene Trudel: Hey hey, doctorjazz, Doug W, and Lady Chantecleer! Happy wash these waves over you all.
	♥ 1:37pm listener james from westwood: Paul's various British voices in this tune are a treat and must've been fun to put on.
	♥ 1:38pm listener james from westwood: The phone voice always reminds me of Terry-Thomas.
	♥ 1:41pm PaulRobeson1920: Good afternoon from Maspeth! What a show!!!
	1:41pm Listener Robert: Elegant way to get out of that via the fade, Ms. Trudel!
	♥ 1:44pm David (in London): Evening groovers. Hi Irene, a visit to the optician has rendered me a little tardy. But at least I can see the playlist clearly...
	🥁 ♥ 1:48pm TonyR: Raincoats on 45!
	♥ 1:48pm melinda: digging this set
	🥁 ♥ 1:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: David (in London): sounds like it was worth the delay and yay, Raincoats!
	🥁 ♥ 1:50pm TonyR: Slits on 45!!
	♥ 1:50pm David (in London): Since Chresti seems to be absent: Mx Baba Beekins! Hello. Raincoats, Slits double whammy. Nice.
	🥁 ♥ 1:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): what was Peter K saying about the royal segues?
	♥ 1:50pm prguitar: Thanks for "Paper Sun" Irene! Sounded like a different mix! I'll take any and all UK Island mixes!! Hey Lady C. and doctorjazz!!
	🥁 ♥ 1:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ha ha! David (in London)kins! thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 1:52pm TonyR: Was "Uncle Albert" really credited to Paul and Linda?
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm TonyR: We need to chip in and get Irene one of these: i.ebayimg.com... so she can take bathroom breaks!
	🥁 ♥ 1:57pm TonyR: Ah, the sounds of Irene's roof being fixed.
	🥁 ♥ 2:00pm TonyR: Linda broke up Wings!!!
	2:05pm TDK60: Hi Irene. 45s!
	🥁 ♥ 2:05pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): that Singles Scavenger Hunt sounds so fun!
	♥ 2:08pm David (in London): Yo, TDK.
	2:09pm TDK60: Hiya, agent on the ground David in London!
	♥ 2:13pm melinda: I love 60s-70s feel good music
	♥ 2:13pm Irene Trudel: TonyR, I have one of those! It's attached to my parents original console TV/78 turntable/radio uint that's taking up space in my guest room. The amplifier fried many years ago but I should see if that 45 player might still work.
	♥ 2:13pm melinda: it's finally starting to feel like autumn here, this is a good soundtrack
	2:14pm TDK60: Hi Melinda. Today's my first day wearing a jacket.
	♥ 2:15pm Irene Trudel: Yes, TDK60! No cassettes either.
	♥ 2:15pm Michael 98145: RIP, John
	2:15pm TDK60: Irene, this John L. song is making the wistfuls fall all around me. I suppose I say, thanks.
	♥ 2:16pm Stanley: Hellraising hello Irene and listeners. I forget how much fun singles were. In my yoof, I bought many ex-jukebox singles el cheapo. All worn out/lost/stolen/given away now.
	♥ 2:17pm David (in London): Wotcha Stanley.
	♥ 2:18pm Stanley: How-do David.
	2:18pm TDK60: Stanley, up there. Baba B out there.
	♥ 2:19pm Irene Trudel: Happy birthday in the afterlife, John! Robyn Hitchcock recently performed a beautiful version of this in concert at Outpost in the Burbs. Stanley, it's good that some of us kept our singles to play for you.
	🥁 ♥ 2:22pm TonyR: Today's friendly 'FMU consumer hint. Ordering a Purple (tm) mattress? Opt for white-glove service. Those suckers are HEAVY.
	♥ 2:24pm Sean in Bristol UK: XTC, marvellous
	♥ 2:24pm Sean in Bristol UK: Would love to watch or get my hands on their documentary
	♥ 2:25pm David (in London): Now that XTC singles double album, Fossil Fuel, was an absolute doozy.
	2:27pm TDK60: Didn't realize Great Fire was a single.
	♥ 2:30pm Irene Trudel: Yes, indeed it was. A 12" single also.
	♥ 2:30pm prguitar: This show is fabulous Irene! Have to run to an appointment.. Will be in touch later on. Glad to share a couple of hours with everyone!! Thanks!!🙏🏼♥️
	♥ 2:31pm PaulRobeson1920: HapPpPy Birthday Day in the Great Beyond John Lennon!!! John is doin alrightt. The other day I saw him, working behind the counter @The Puppy Loft, on W26th St.
	♥ 2:35pm listener james from westwood: Spaaaarks!
	♥ 2:35pm Sean in Bristol UK: LOVE THIS!
	♥ 2:35pm Stanley: Irene - I was just thinking that. Do they still make them? I dunno. I visited an ex-gf a couple of years ago and she said she had some old photos to show me. She opened a box and alongside photos, lettters etc was a bunch of my old scratched up singles including Anarchy in the UK, God Save the Queen and some early Stiffs. I let her keep them as keepsakes.
	♥ 2:39pm David (in London): Ah, The Set, they were so great at this time.
	♥ 2:41pm Stanley: SW12 - that's Clapham, Sarf London
	♥ 2:42pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for the update on John, PaulRobeson! Stanley, do you mean singles? They definitely are still being made. David, I wish I'd had the chance to see Monochrome Set. Loved their tunes-- so funny!
	♥ 2:42pm Michael 98145: @Stanley, still make them? Yes, indeed! Love the artifacts.
	2:43pm TDK60: I've heard of Monochrome Set but never heard, till now. Don't tell my punk/noo wave pals down at the club.
	🥁 ♥ 2:44pm chris in the redwoods: hell yes :)
	♥ 2:44pm Stanley: Gary Numan - he had one hellava sound.
	🥁 ♥ 2:44pm TonyR: You won't get a little radio icon if you don't do a recurring donation! (He says with no little radio).
	2:45pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: What a set this is
	♥ 2:46pm listener james from westwood: "Cars" is just a perfect track. Good memories of hearing it from the back seat of my parents' car as we'd motor about.
	♥ 2:46pm Bas NL: Numan! :D
	♥ 2:46pm David (in London): Irene, I was lucky enough to see them once in 1984, at a free festival in Oxford. They played amidst bales of hay, and they were bloody marvellous. Gazza still sounding awesome here.
	2:48pm annie: i really miss car radio, especially the talk shows, lots of great shows out of NYC..
	♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: Never been to Omaha
	♥ 2:49pm Stanley: This show has been so good, I just had to pony up.
	2:50pm TDK60: I've driven through, on my way to Haight-Ashbury, man. Golly, these hippies had their espresso.
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm TonyR: Whoops. Pink Floyd spiked.
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm TonyR: Sagitarius with two 'g's is just saggi.
	♥ 2:52pm David (in London): Their world fell down due the weight of excess gs.
	♥ 2:53pm Irene Trudel: Oopsie!
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, Irene !!
	♥ 2:54pm Stanley: This PF track was a single?
	♥ 2:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: Majestic show, Irene, thank you, thank you
	♥ 2:56pm Irene Trudel: Hey, thanks everyone for enjoying this wild ride with me today. And thanks for your generosity in edging to our Hellraiser! I'll be back next week with Guitars Galore (electric version). Stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza: wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:56pm David (in London): Yeah, today's show was a real doozy. Thanks Irene.
	2:56pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: Thank you Irene, wonderful
	♥ 2:56pm Irene Trudel: Stanley, the b side of Money.
	♥ 2:57pm Stanley: Thanks Irene.
	2:57pm TDK60: Good day, Irene. Thanks for the singles spun.
	2:57pm ?: It's a gas.
	♥ 2:58pm Michael 98145: that was sumthin
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks Irene! Up momentarily here on the Drummer stream: "A Series of Dreams (it's a hard-knock life)", a newly remastered sound collage on Ken's Last Ever... hellos over here! wfmu.org...

	12:09pm Listener Robert: Is Joe's pub called Kludge, or do those musicians call their show Kludge?
	♥ 12:09pm Brian in UK: Though Tambourine Man is the record that turned my head forever; I think that Turn, Turn, Turn is the best of the early singles. Only taken me fifty five years to reflect on this!!

	🥁 ♥ 12:15pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: WISH! Did somebody say wish?
	♥ 12:16pm Irene Trudel: Robert, Kludge was the show, Joe's Pub was the club in NYC.
	♥ 12:18pm Brian in UK: Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧ Just made some Pistachio cake with lemon icing. Samples available in the foyer!!
	♥ 12:18pm Sean in Bristol UK: Her Royal Kateness, thank you Irene
	12:19pm northguineahills: Hello from somewhere!
	🥁 ♥ 12:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: oh, BiUK: that sounds absolutely scrumptious
	♥ 12:23pm Irene Trudel: Welcome prguitar and N.G.H! I send virtual refreshments to all.
	♥ 12:24pm Brian in UK: I cannot grasp the idea that Kate Bush is a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
	♥ 12:26pm Michael 98145: Ah - made it. Love SGS week!
	♥ 12:29pm Sean in Bristol UK: Brian, Kate deserves all plaudits and honours, totally worship this special lady
	♥ 12:29pm alanr: checkin' in from the industrial wasteland of Cleveland (hometown)....
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm TonyR: Caught IT's Oct. 11 show a few days late on the archive, and of course it was stunning, so I threw in a small piece of pumpkin pie today. (Does this get me a drum badge in comments?)
	♥ 12:31pm Brian in UK: Sean, I was surprised that she accepted it.
	12:31pm Listener Robert: Thanks, Irene. Maybe my projection during the first week that the Hell Raiser would need a stretch goal like last year's was premature. It'd take quite a "kick" to get to the goal as early in the month as last year, but getting there comfortably is still quite feasible.
	♥ 12:36pm listener james from westwood: Springfields gettin' lurve!
	♥ 12:36pm alanr: Please do not follow this song with Rick.
	♥ 12:40pm melinda: hi all
	♥ 12:41pm Irene Trudel: Thank you, TonyR! Hi to you, alanr, Michael and melinda!
	12:41pm Peter K.: Loving the show so far. (Of course.)
	♥ 12:42pm solo mon: Hello Irene!
	♥ 12:44pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Irene, you're absolutely killing it! What a great show! x
	♥ 12:45pm listener james from westwood: Bit of a waltz with Glenn—dig it!
	♥ 12:46pm solo mon: Love this Glenn- Ann Magnuson does a good cover of this too!
	🥁 ♥ 12:47pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Irene. really enjoying this set. hellos all around!
	12:48pm Billy Mince: Lovely Laura N. This is such a beautiful song.
	12:49pm The Knave: Hello from Melbourne! ahhhhh it's so late - what am I doing up!!?
	♥ 12:49pm Irene Trudel: Hey Peter, solo mon and chris! Glad you're all lovin' the tunes.
	♥ 12:50pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yes to this Nilsson.
	12:51pm Sylvia: now we karaoke!
	♥ 12:52pm Irene Trudel: Wow, Knave! Glad you've stayed up.
	12:53pm βrian: I honestly never knew this was Nilsson.
	♥ 12:54pm melinda: ooh, I remember this theme, haunting
	♥ 12:55pm Brian in UK: Oblio?
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I love Nilsson so much. That "Who Is Harry Nilsson" doc was such a treat. No one can make me cry and laugh at the same time like he can.
	12:56pm Listener Robert: That Nitzsche sounds suspiciously like a slowed "Please Release Me, Let Me Go".
	🥁 ♥ 12:57pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: βrian: that is the quintessential Nilsson experience.
	12:57pm Billy Mince: It's Laura Nyro's birthday today too. She would have been 74
	♥ 1:00pm Michael 98145: Love being here in the punkin patch
	♥ 1:02pm Sean in Bristol UK: TODD!
	1:02pm Listener Robert: Now that I Google it, I see it acknowledged that that theme music WAS based on "Please Release Me" -- which makes it a great musical wink, considering what "Cuckoo's Nest" was about.
	♥ 1:03pm Brian in UK: I know his is heretical on FMU but did Todd ever do anything better than this. Pure radio music.
	1:05pm Listener Robert: It's a lot of fun for me to recognize in a piece of music a "wink" like that. I think it was a couple years ago I heard a recent piece on WFMU and recognized in it two passages from the theme from the TV series "The Mothers-In-Law".
	♥ 1:08pm Irene Trudel: Brian, it's a tough call. Todd's written and recorded so many great songs over the years. Cool that you realized the Cockoo theme was based on Please Release Me. I do hear it now.
	1:08pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: Hi Irene and fellow listeners
	♥ 1:10pm Irene Trudel: Hey Annabella!
	♥ 1:17pm Brian in UK: Irene this set is a time piece. It was Listener Robert who heard Release Me but I will take the credit!! The English version of Release Me was by Engelbert Humperdinck, kept Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields off the No.1. Such a vain man.
	♥ 1:18pm doctorjazz: Love this old Traffic! Hi Irene and all out there!
	1:19pm Doug Wieselman: Fun show today !
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I love singing along with this one mimicing all of Donovan's trills and vocal playfulness
	♥ 1:23pm Bas NL: Hi Irene & all! Listening from work and enjoying the singles!
	🥁 ♥ 1:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): You're doing great, Irene! This is so much fun!
	1:29pm LadyChanticleer: Always love hearing Donovan on the airwaves
	♥ 1:32pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Wow after wow. Color us wowed. x
	♥ 1:33pm Sean in Bristol UK: So agree Baba Bee, sublime choice of music
	1:33pm Peter K.: Can we all agree that Irene is the Queen of the Segue?
	🥁 ♥ 1:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yeah! and I'm loving this wistful vibe that is soon about to bounce back again!
	♥ 1:35pm listener james from westwood: brrrp brrrp brrrp brrrp
	🥁 ♥ 1:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): who is it??
	♥ 1:36pm Irene Trudel: Hey hey, doctorjazz, Doug W, and Lady Chantecleer! Happy wash these waves over you all.
	♥ 1:37pm listener james from westwood: Paul's various British voices in this tune are a treat and must've been fun to put on.
	♥ 1:38pm listener james from westwood: The phone voice always reminds me of Terry-Thomas.
	♥ 1:41pm PaulRobeson1920: Good afternoon from Maspeth! What a show!!!
	1:41pm Listener Robert: Elegant way to get out of that via the fade, Ms. Trudel!
	♥ 1:44pm David (in London): Evening groovers. Hi Irene, a visit to the optician has rendered me a little tardy. But at least I can see the playlist clearly...
	🥁 ♥ 1:48pm TonyR: Raincoats on 45!
	♥ 1:48pm melinda: digging this set
	🥁 ♥ 1:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: David (in London): sounds like it was worth the delay and yay, Raincoats!
	🥁 ♥ 1:50pm TonyR: Slits on 45!!
	♥ 1:50pm David (in London): Since Chresti seems to be absent: Mx Baba Beekins! Hello. Raincoats, Slits double whammy. Nice.
	🥁 ♥ 1:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): what was Peter K saying about the royal segues?
	♥ 1:50pm prguitar: Thanks for "Paper Sun" Irene! Sounded like a different mix! I'll take any and all UK Island mixes!! Hey Lady C. and doctorjazz!!
	🥁 ♥ 1:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): ha ha! David (in London)kins! thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 1:52pm TonyR: Was "Uncle Albert" really credited to Paul and Linda?
	🥁 ♥ 1:56pm TonyR: We need to chip in and get Irene one of these: i.ebayimg.com... so she can take bathroom breaks!
	🥁 ♥ 1:57pm TonyR: Ah, the sounds of Irene's roof being fixed.
	🥁 ♥ 2:00pm TonyR: Linda broke up Wings!!!
	2:05pm TDK60: Hi Irene. 45s!
	🥁 ♥ 2:05pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): that Singles Scavenger Hunt sounds so fun!
	♥ 2:08pm David (in London): Yo, TDK.
	2:09pm TDK60: Hiya, agent on the ground David in London!
	♥ 2:13pm melinda: I love 60s-70s feel good music
	♥ 2:13pm Irene Trudel: TonyR, I have one of those! It's attached to my parents original console TV/78 turntable/radio uint that's taking up space in my guest room. The amplifier fried many years ago but I should see if that 45 player might still work.
	♥ 2:13pm melinda: it's finally starting to feel like autumn here, this is a good soundtrack
	2:14pm TDK60: Hi Melinda. Today's my first day wearing a jacket.
	♥ 2:15pm Irene Trudel: Yes, TDK60! No cassettes either.
	♥ 2:15pm Michael 98145: RIP, John
	2:15pm TDK60: Irene, this John L. song is making the wistfuls fall all around me. I suppose I say, thanks.
	♥ 2:16pm Stanley: Hellraising hello Irene and listeners. I forget how much fun singles were. In my yoof, I bought many ex-jukebox singles el cheapo. All worn out/lost/stolen/given away now.
	♥ 2:17pm David (in London): Wotcha Stanley.
	♥ 2:18pm Stanley: How-do David.
	2:18pm TDK60: Stanley, up there. Baba B out there.
	♥ 2:19pm Irene Trudel: Happy birthday in the afterlife, John! Robyn Hitchcock recently performed a beautiful version of this in concert at Outpost in the Burbs. Stanley, it's good that some of us kept our singles to play for you.
	🥁 ♥ 2:22pm TonyR: Today's friendly 'FMU consumer hint. Ordering a Purple (tm) mattress? Opt for white-glove service. Those suckers are HEAVY.
	♥ 2:24pm Sean in Bristol UK: XTC, marvellous
	♥ 2:24pm Sean in Bristol UK: Would love to watch or get my hands on their documentary
	♥ 2:25pm David (in London): Now that XTC singles double album, Fossil Fuel, was an absolute doozy.
	2:27pm TDK60: Didn't realize Great Fire was a single.
	♥ 2:30pm Irene Trudel: Yes, indeed it was. A 12" single also.
	♥ 2:30pm prguitar: This show is fabulous Irene! Have to run to an appointment.. Will be in touch later on. Glad to share a couple of hours with everyone!! Thanks!!🙏🏼♥️
	♥ 2:31pm PaulRobeson1920: HapPpPy Birthday Day in the Great Beyond John Lennon!!! John is doin alrightt. The other day I saw him, working behind the counter @The Puppy Loft, on W26th St.
	♥ 2:35pm listener james from westwood: Spaaaarks!
	♥ 2:35pm Sean in Bristol UK: LOVE THIS!
	♥ 2:35pm Stanley: Irene - I was just thinking that. Do they still make them? I dunno. I visited an ex-gf a couple of years ago and she said she had some old photos to show me. She opened a box and alongside photos, lettters etc was a bunch of my old scratched up singles including Anarchy in the UK, God Save the Queen and some early Stiffs. I let her keep them as keepsakes.
	♥ 2:39pm David (in London): Ah, The Set, they were so great at this time.
	♥ 2:41pm Stanley: SW12 - that's Clapham, Sarf London
	♥ 2:42pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for the update on John, PaulRobeson! Stanley, do you mean singles? They definitely are still being made. David, I wish I'd had the chance to see Monochrome Set. Loved their tunes-- so funny!
	♥ 2:42pm Michael 98145: @Stanley, still make them? Yes, indeed! Love the artifacts.
	2:43pm TDK60: I've heard of Monochrome Set but never heard, till now. Don't tell my punk/noo wave pals down at the club.
	🥁 ♥ 2:44pm chris in the redwoods: hell yes :)
	♥ 2:44pm Stanley: Gary Numan - he had one hellava sound.
	🥁 ♥ 2:44pm TonyR: You won't get a little radio icon if you don't do a recurring donation! (He says with no little radio).
	2:45pm Annabella in Crewkerne UK: What a set this is
	♥ 2:46pm listener james from westwood: "Cars" is just a perfect track. Good memories of hearing it from the back seat of my parents' car as we'd motor about.
	♥ 2:46pm Bas NL: Numan! :D
	♥ 2:46pm David (in London): Irene, I was lucky enough to see them once in 1984, at a free festival in Oxford. They played amidst bales of hay, and they were bloody marvellous. Gazza still sounding awesome here.
	2:48pm annie: i really miss car radio, especially the talk shows, lots of great shows out of NYC..
	♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: Never been to Omaha
	♥ 2:49pm Stanley: This show has been so good, I just had to pony up.
	2:50pm TDK60: I've driven through, on my way to Haight-Ashbury, man. Golly, these hippies had their espresso.
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm TonyR: Whoops. Pink Floyd spiked.
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm TonyR: Sagitarius with two 'g's is just saggi.
	♥ 2:52pm David (in London): Their world fell down due the weight of excess gs.
	♥ 2:53pm Irene Trudel: Oopsie!
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: Thanks again, Irene !!
	♥ 2:54pm Stanley: This PF track was a single?
