WFMU: The Wiggle Room: Playlist from February 15, 2022

Listener comments!
	7:51pm Krys O.: Howdy, all! Welcome to the Wiggle Room!
	7:55pm HyperDose: Krys O! 🥰
	👻 7:55pm Austin Rich: Good Hello!
	7:56pm Krys O.: Thanks for hanging out and chiming in.
	7:57pm Andres: Part Deux! Ooh la la!
	7:58pm Kat in Chicago: Ready to wiggle!
	👻 7:58pm Austin Rich: Not to start off with a hung-over thread from the last show, but I do like seeing the playlist as the show unfolds. But I do understand the appeal of not saying anything until afterwards. Don Joyce, my hero, almost REFUSED to make playlists, and would rarely even tell callers what they were hearing, if they deigned to call and ask. I almost feel an obligation to cite as much as possible, but I have often just wanted to post, "You figure it out," and smile. So yeah, not sure. Other thoughts?
	8:00pm Handy Haversack: Dishes are done, dude(s)! And here for the Krys and the Kringlin'!
	👻 8:00pm Mr Fab: Krys, I Can't Take My Ears Off You
	8:01pm Scott67: G'day Krys & Wigglers! 👍😎🍻🎶📻🌞🌏🌷
	8:01pm HyperDose: Suspense is fun, but being that WFMU mostly plays unknowns to me, the playlists keep me in the loop.
	8:01pm Kat in Chicago: Scott! How's yer ribs?
	8:02pm Krys O.: My OCD has a hard time without the playlist most of the time.
	8:02pm Franco Twinkie: Fab, is it raining where you are? It's pouring over in the other valley.
	👻 8:03pm Mr Fab: I'm totally spoiled by having the live playlists. I start getting the heebie-jeebies if I don't know exactly what is playing and I scurry over to Mr Shazam.
	8:03pm Handy Haversack: What exactly is Jackie Gleason doing in this track? Conducting? Driving the bus?
	8:03pm Krys O.: Greetings, one and all! Harvey is driving me nuts trying to get my attention to give him a snack.
	8:03pm Franco Twinkie: Thunder and lightning too!
	8:03pm David in California: I've appreciated it when Jan posts his playlist ahead of time when he can't post the songs as they play.
	8:03pm Kat in Chicago: I used to give friends mixtapes and not give them the tracklists till after they'd listened. However, I do playlists for my radio show because I want artists to get credit and to make it easy for people to find and maybe buy the music
	👻 8:04pm Mr Fab: Hey Franco! Yep, going from 85 degrees couple days ago to chilly and raining.
	8:04pm Krys O.: @Handy: Jackie Gleason was drunk and glowering at everyone, more than likely.
	👻 8:05pm Mr Fab: Kat, that was the idea behind John Oswald's Mystery Tapes. He wanted people to listen without pre-conceived notions.
	8:05pm Andres: Love Tom Jones but appreciating this version without the all powerful delivery. Coming from a more gentle place. Lovely!
	8:05pm Handy Haversack: We have brief peace among mammals over here, Krys. They all ate and then my meal was vegan they didn't even bother trying to steal it. I'm holding Goblin's tail so he can clean the end.
	8:05pm Kat in Chicago: Exactly my intent as well, Fab. I like to sneak a surprise or two into a mix.
	8:06pm Krys O.: Anita Kerr is a genius.
	8:06pm Scott67: I see the Marathon Purge is upon us. Our Pumpkins have been binned!💨🎃
	8:06pm laurapanic: I am obsessive about wfmu playlists and I can't cope without them any more. Love the shows with nice rich info. But I understand its not always possible, or that DJs jam.
	👻 8:06pm Mr Fab: @Handy: near as I can tell, the albums are just sort of Gleason's idea, and then lets the pros take care of the details.
	8:06pm Krys O.: It's that time o' year, Scott.
	8:06pm laurapanic: HI Scott
	8:06pm Kat in Chicago: It's that special time of year
	8:07pm Handy Haversack: Nice work if you can get it, Mr Fab!
	8:07pm HyperDose: The grifter himself, Matt Berry!
	8:07pm Handy Haversack: It's the Valentine Day Massacre of the Icons, Scotty!
	8:07pm chresti: Bone swar Krys and wigglers!
	8:07pm Krys O.: I remember Gleason being interviewed on 60 Minutes. He was stewed all the time.
	👻 8:07pm Austin Rich: Gotta love Matt Berry. I still get the "Snuff Box" theme stuck in my head all the time, and the last time i watched that was 10 years ago.
	8:08pm Kat in Chicago: Swag For Life means never being icon-less
	8:08pm Scott67: Kat, thanks for asking mate!👍😎 Fuuuuuuckennnnnnpaaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnnffffuuullll!!! 👍😎🍻
	8:08pm Krys O.: Right on, Kat! Hey, chresti!
	8:08pm Mr. X: I'll chime in and say it's all about context. If it's about mystery and intrigue, or if it's about being in some sort of realm of music being all blended into some sort of cosmic unity with itself, then don't do playlists. On the other hand, if it's all about sharing info with people and giving them access to find the music later, then do playlists.
	8:08pm chresti: That's a luxe looking bedspread!
	8:09pm Krys O.: Likely chenille.
	8:09pm Kat in Chicago: Aw Scott, sorry to hear! C'mon ribs, mend already!
	8:09pm Andres: I picked up a Jackie Gleason record at a garage sale and asked the woman if it was any good. She went into a reverie about how wonderful it made her feel. I wish I could remember her exact words but I had to buy it of course.
	8:10pm Scott67: G'day Laura, how ya feelin after giging your arses off mate? 👍😎💨🍺
	8:10pm Krys O.: Ack, Scott. Hope you recover soon.
	8:10pm Franco Twinkie: ARB gave me a mix tape that was totally unmarked. It was at the beginning of the pandemic when everything was so unsettled. I use to drive around in my truck on empty streets listening to the craziest, spookiest music. It was like a funny/bad dream.
	8:10pm Handy Haversack: Adriene's Blind Tourist playlists are interesting artifacts. She's mixing so much stuff in and repeating and alluding and remixing, but it all does manage to reach the playlist, often with links and more info included. Great radio. Remember to rub beer on it internally, Scotty!
	8:11pm Krys O.: That's awesome, Franco. It's like a musical escape room.
	👻 8:11pm Austin Rich: @Mr. Fab: I've been thinking about "Coffee & Cigarettes," since the last show chat. I think it would have been better if we'd gotten a new installment of "Coffee & Cigarettes: The Short Film," every few years (like we were getting), rather than all as one anthology film. Some of those shorts were great. But I probably think about Ghost Dog more often, if I'm honest.
	8:12pm Krys O.: I'm a Blind Tourist fan, most definitely.
	👻 8:13pm Mr Fab: Mr X, Don Bolles' two shows here take both approaches: "Kitten Sparkkles" show often just says "live collage" for the playlist, but his "Wired Up" show of rare rock 45s breaks it all down: song, artist, country, picture sleeve..
	👻 8:14pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X! Good to see you in the chat. It is a question of curators intent, isn't it? Academic or Aesthetic? I'm certainly further on the Academic end of the spectrum, but I like the other end a lot, too. Don Bolles shows are both great, for two different and excellent reasons. That guy is on another plane.
	8:14pm laurapanic: Scott I don't drink and it still took this old lady 2 days to recover (linkage youtu.be...)
	8:14pm Scott67: Cheers Krys. 👍😎🍻
	8:15pm Scott67: "Felicity Kendal's underpants"!
	8:15pm Krys O.: LOL, Scott!
	8:17pm Aitch: Hey Krys and all
	8:18pm Krys O.: Hidey ho!
	8:18pm Scott67: Cheers Laura, will enjoy watching later mate. If it makes ya feel better, I fell off me bike last Thursday & wrecked my ribs. & I assure you, I was drinking! 👍😎🍺💨💥💫
	8:19pm Scott67: Dr Handy, I am following your prescription hourly mate! 👍😎🍻
	8:19pm Kat in Chicago: This cover of Paris 1919 certainly took a turn
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: @Scott67: That's awful! I had a roommate who fell off his bike and shattered his elbow. Had to get all sorts of metal bits in his arm. He's fine, but I remember that day, thinking, "Wow, he's really late getting home from work. Must have grabbed a couple beers with a friend... maybe getting lucky? Who can say?" Then he came home with a cast. Lucky, indeed!
	8:19pm Krys O.: Shelley is a gem.
	8:20pm HyperDose: I agree with Austin. Sir Bolles is a national treasure.
	8:21pm Handy Haversack: Something in the spirit of Klaus Nomi's covers going on. Not the same kind of sound but an energy? Maybe makes no sense.
	8:22pm Krys O.: Shelley's been on the downtown scene for a long time. I'd bet that she knew Klaus.
	8:23pm Mr. X: Having some connection issues here. I'm getting a bit lagged. Just so you know why I might seem slow to pick up on the thread.
	8:23pm Handy Haversack: I liked it a lot, Krys!
	👻 8:23pm Austin Rich: Hey! It's Cornershop! Thanks!
	8:23pm Handy Haversack: Oh, and is Dave Soldier the Soldier in that String Quartet?
	8:24pm Krys O.: I've had issues with posting comments too, Mr. X. It happens.
	👻 8:24pm Austin Rich: I'm getting a little lag here, too, Mr. X. Hopefully it doesn't affect tonight's broadcast. I usually don't have issues, so this is a little odd.
	8:24pm Krys O.: Yes, Handy. One in the same.
	8:25pm Aitch: Dub Floyd is good
	8:25pm Andres: Great cover album!!
	👻 8:26pm Mr Fab: Right on, I saw Easy All-Stars play this album live - outdoors, Santa Monica pier, a summer night, aaah...
	8:26pm Kat in Chicago: This works really really well
	8:27pm Krys O.: That sounds like heaven, Mr. Fab.
	8:27pm laurapanic: mmmmmmmmm scott, the heady mix of liquor and cycling
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: Mr. Fab: I feel like you have so many great stories of seeing great shows! You are one lucky Fab.
	8:28pm HyperDose: Dub Side of the Moon sounds like something I need
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: The laughing fits TOO well.
	8:28pm Krys O.: Get it, HyperDose.
	8:29pm Handy Haversack: Krys, is this the same thing? Or collect that album maybe? davesoldier.bandcamp.com...
	8:29pm Franco Twinkie: Fab, we saw Lee Scratch Perry on the Santa Monica Pier. He was toasting how much he loved white pussy. Not a peep from the West side audience in protest.
	8:29pm Mr. X: I like their Sgt. Pepper cover, too. And the Radiohead one has some highlights.
	👻 8:30pm Austin Rich: I might be in the minority, but I really liked Radiohead at first, and they have sort of worn off on me as the years have gone on. (Which seems to be the opposite of popular opinion, as I understand it.) I'm waiting for that moment, like when I was 28 and suddenly GOT Joy Division. Like, maybe that happens with Radiohead someday?
	8:31pm Kat in Chicago: OOOH I didn't know Dave Soldier had a bandcamp!
	8:31pm Krys O.: @Handy: The Soldier/Hirsch collab is on Sojourner Truth. Not sure if that is the same version of 1919.
	👻 8:31pm Mr Fab: I was there, Franco! Scratch was a trip. the band would end the song, but sometimes he'd just keep on going. Singing along to the music in his head..?
	8:32pm Handy Haversack: Gotcha. Found it on Discogs, Krys -- thanks!
	8:32pm Franco Twinkie: Haha! What a show!!
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: I loved that first Kropotkins release so much but I never tracked down any of the subsequent ones. Gonna fix THAT.
	👻 8:33pm Mr Fab: Ah, poor ol' Wm Berger. Didn't he die young of something?
	8:33pm Aitch: Dread Zeppelin was a fun band thinking dub covers
	8:34pm Krys O.: Wm was in failing health for a few years before he died in 2017. He was a year younger than me. I think he was 54.
	8:35pm Krys O.: I liked Dread Zeppelin.
	8:37pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhh, yes. The best.
	8:37pm Scott67: Lucky I didn't do my heady Laura, I wasn't wearing a lid. No liquor, only ever beer here dear! 👍😎🍻🌻
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: Eartha Kitt is my Co-Pilot.
	👻 8:38pm Mr Fab: Eartha didn't want to sing thru tremolo?
	8:38pm Krys O.: Tee hee, Austin Rich.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: When you've got a voice like that, you don't need FX.
	8:38pm Scott67: The crying of your manitee?
	8:39pm Joeybug69: Hey Krys! Just got here late to the party, but I’ll check out the archive later. Great set list, love that Easy All Stars project. Prolly have that Gleason inherited from my dad’s collection, he had them all. Cheers & Shemp, of course.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: Sometimes I think I like Eartha Kitt. And then I remember stuff like this, and I think I LOVE her.
	8:39pm Krys O.: It's gonna get raunchy here.....
	8:39pm Scott67: Manatee*
	8:40pm Scott67: Ruanch it baby!!!👍😎🍻
	8:40pm Krys O.: Cheers, Joeybug69!
	8:40pm Xeres of Xeron: Eartha was the best Catwoman
	8:41pm Handy Haversack: Gotta jump up and find some pearls to clutch.
	8:44pm HyperDose: gasps
	8:46pm Joeybug69: Just wow.
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: I've never heard this Tallulah Bankhead stuff before. Where did you get it? This is GOLD.
	8:47pm Franco Twinkie: Did he say what I think he said!?
	8:48pm Krys O.: He did, Franco. He did.
	👻 8:48pm Mr Fab: and people think that the '50s were so innocent...
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: I mean, all the same words we swear with now existed then... and they often were more "subtle" than we were...
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: You notice that no one was yelling, "Fuck, Dude! Dude! That fuckin' ruled. Fuck!"
	8:50pm Scott67: Helen, Aussie Royalty!!
	8:50pm Krys O.: Ha!
	8:50pm Aitch: this scares me
	8:50pm Krys O.: Indeed, Scott.
	8:52pm Krys O.: Medleys on TV variety shows were often bizarre no matter who performed them.
	8:52pm Kat in Chicago: they were!
	8:52pm HyperDose: My idea of the 50's was shattered the day I started reading Peyton Place
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: This Medley rules!
	8:52pm Mr. X: This flows about as well as a Dickie Goodman record.
	8:52pm chresti: My ex worked on shows like this starting in the early 80s
	8:53pm Krys O.: Exactly, Mr. X.
	8:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Happy trails to youu
	8:53pm Franco Twinkie: THIS is gold!
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: I was just thinking about how Medley's were sort of like "live collage."
	👻 8:53pm Mr Fab: the very definition of the word "random"
	8:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Sing yer own special song!
	8:53pm Krys O.: Interesting, chresti. The 80s variety shows were closer to the 70s than they were to our time.
	8:54pm laurapanic: There are so many very cool variety shows on youtube and Tubi. I've watched many of Olivia Newton John's variety specials, for a start.
	8:54pm Kat in Chicago: Even as a kid, medleys like this usually made me cringe.
	8:54pm HyperDose: Reading the medley description really threw me, but that was expertly executed!
	8:55pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Krys! What a selection!
	8:55pm David in California: Thank you, Krys. I enjoyed listening to the additional covers.
	8:55pm Handy Haversack: So great, Krys! Very glad to have been here. Many thanks for hosting! Stay goldenrod, everyone!
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: Great show, as usual! See ya'll in the next chat!
	8:56pm Krys O.: Thank you to everyone for your gracious presence! Mwah!
	8:56pm HyperDose: Thanks, Krys. As someone who missed many of your earlier broadcasts, it's so fun getting to hear a heavy WFMU hitter each month!
	8:56pm PaulRobeson1920: John Brown’s body lies mouldering in the grave! John Brown’s body lies mouldering in the grave, but his SoUL goes Marching Onn! Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
	8:56pm chresti: You know they were well-sauced for it!
	8:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Krys! This was something to have nightmares about.
	8:56pm Krys O.: Welcome to my night traumas.
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: from the days when former big band singers had their own daytime tv shows..
	8:57pm PaulRobeson1920: So Happy Trails to youu , untill, we meet, again!
	8:57pm Franco Twinkie: Wasn't Jack Cassidy in The Jefferson Airplane?
	8:57pm Krys O.: The Dinah Shore show was the best. Bowie was on there.
	👻 8:58pm Mr Fab: Wonderful show for us cover-lovers, Krys!
	8:58pm Krys O.: Many thanks again!
	8:58pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Krys O : !
	8:59pm chresti: Thanks KrysO!
	9:00pm Krys O.: xxxooo
	9:12pm Scott67: Thanks Krys!! Sorry got a call from my sister as you ended. Had to put in my painkiller order ✌😎🌷

	8:08pm Mr. X: I'll chime in and say it's all about context. If it's about mystery and intrigue, or if it's about being in some sort of realm of music being all blended into some sort of cosmic unity with itself, then don't do playlists. On the other hand, if it's all about sharing info with people and giving them access to find the music later, then do playlists.

	8:09pm Andres: I picked up a Jackie Gleason record at a garage sale and asked the woman if it was any good. She went into a reverie about how wonderful it made her feel. I wish I could remember her exact words but I had to buy it of course.
	8:10pm Scott67: G'day Laura, how ya feelin after giging your arses off mate? 👍😎💨🍺
	8:10pm Krys O.: Ack, Scott. Hope you recover soon.
	8:10pm Franco Twinkie: ARB gave me a mix tape that was totally unmarked. It was at the beginning of the pandemic when everything was so unsettled. I use to drive around in my truck on empty streets listening to the craziest, spookiest music. It was like a funny/bad dream.
	8:10pm Handy Haversack: Adriene's Blind Tourist playlists are interesting artifacts. She's mixing so much stuff in and repeating and alluding and remixing, but it all does manage to reach the playlist, often with links and more info included. Great radio. Remember to rub beer on it internally, Scotty!
	8:11pm Krys O.: That's awesome, Franco. It's like a musical escape room.
	👻 8:11pm Austin Rich: @Mr. Fab: I've been thinking about "Coffee & Cigarettes," since the last show chat. I think it would have been better if we'd gotten a new installment of "Coffee & Cigarettes: The Short Film," every few years (like we were getting), rather than all as one anthology film. Some of those shorts were great. But I probably think about Ghost Dog more often, if I'm honest.
	8:12pm Krys O.: I'm a Blind Tourist fan, most definitely.
	👻 8:13pm Mr Fab: Mr X, Don Bolles' two shows here take both approaches: "Kitten Sparkkles" show often just says "live collage" for the playlist, but his "Wired Up" show of rare rock 45s breaks it all down: song, artist, country, picture sleeve..
	👻 8:14pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X! Good to see you in the chat. It is a question of curators intent, isn't it? Academic or Aesthetic? I'm certainly further on the Academic end of the spectrum, but I like the other end a lot, too. Don Bolles shows are both great, for two different and excellent reasons. That guy is on another plane.
	8:14pm laurapanic: Scott I don't drink and it still took this old lady 2 days to recover (linkage youtu.be...)
	8:14pm Scott67: Cheers Krys. 👍😎🍻
	8:15pm Scott67: "Felicity Kendal's underpants"!
	8:15pm Krys O.: LOL, Scott!
	8:17pm Aitch: Hey Krys and all
	8:18pm Krys O.: Hidey ho!
	8:18pm Scott67: Cheers Laura, will enjoy watching later mate. If it makes ya feel better, I fell off me bike last Thursday & wrecked my ribs. & I assure you, I was drinking! 👍😎🍺💨💥💫
	8:19pm Scott67: Dr Handy, I am following your prescription hourly mate! 👍😎🍻
	8:19pm Kat in Chicago: This cover of Paris 1919 certainly took a turn
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: @Scott67: That's awful! I had a roommate who fell off his bike and shattered his elbow. Had to get all sorts of metal bits in his arm. He's fine, but I remember that day, thinking, "Wow, he's really late getting home from work. Must have grabbed a couple beers with a friend... maybe getting lucky? Who can say?" Then he came home with a cast. Lucky, indeed!
	8:19pm Krys O.: Shelley is a gem.
	8:20pm HyperDose: I agree with Austin. Sir Bolles is a national treasure.
	8:21pm Handy Haversack: Something in the spirit of Klaus Nomi's covers going on. Not the same kind of sound but an energy? Maybe makes no sense.
	8:22pm Krys O.: Shelley's been on the downtown scene for a long time. I'd bet that she knew Klaus.
	8:23pm Mr. X: Having some connection issues here. I'm getting a bit lagged. Just so you know why I might seem slow to pick up on the thread.
	8:23pm Handy Haversack: I liked it a lot, Krys!
	👻 8:23pm Austin Rich: Hey! It's Cornershop! Thanks!
	8:23pm Handy Haversack: Oh, and is Dave Soldier the Soldier in that String Quartet?
	8:24pm Krys O.: I've had issues with posting comments too, Mr. X. It happens.
	👻 8:24pm Austin Rich: I'm getting a little lag here, too, Mr. X. Hopefully it doesn't affect tonight's broadcast. I usually don't have issues, so this is a little odd.
	8:24pm Krys O.: Yes, Handy. One in the same.
	8:25pm Aitch: Dub Floyd is good
	8:25pm Andres: Great cover album!!
	👻 8:26pm Mr Fab: Right on, I saw Easy All-Stars play this album live - outdoors, Santa Monica pier, a summer night, aaah...
	8:26pm Kat in Chicago: This works really really well
	8:27pm Krys O.: That sounds like heaven, Mr. Fab.
	8:27pm laurapanic: mmmmmmmmm scott, the heady mix of liquor and cycling
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: Mr. Fab: I feel like you have so many great stories of seeing great shows! You are one lucky Fab.
	8:28pm HyperDose: Dub Side of the Moon sounds like something I need
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: The laughing fits TOO well.
	8:28pm Krys O.: Get it, HyperDose.
	8:29pm Handy Haversack: Krys, is this the same thing? Or collect that album maybe? davesoldier.bandcamp.com...
	8:29pm Franco Twinkie: Fab, we saw Lee Scratch Perry on the Santa Monica Pier. He was toasting how much he loved white pussy. Not a peep from the West side audience in protest.
	8:29pm Mr. X: I like their Sgt. Pepper cover, too. And the Radiohead one has some highlights.
	👻 8:30pm Austin Rich: I might be in the minority, but I really liked Radiohead at first, and they have sort of worn off on me as the years have gone on. (Which seems to be the opposite of popular opinion, as I understand it.) I'm waiting for that moment, like when I was 28 and suddenly GOT Joy Division. Like, maybe that happens with Radiohead someday?
	8:31pm Kat in Chicago: OOOH I didn't know Dave Soldier had a bandcamp!
	8:31pm Krys O.: @Handy: The Soldier/Hirsch collab is on Sojourner Truth. Not sure if that is the same version of 1919.
	👻 8:31pm Mr Fab: I was there, Franco! Scratch was a trip. the band would end the song, but sometimes he'd just keep on going. Singing along to the music in his head..?
	8:32pm Handy Haversack: Gotcha. Found it on Discogs, Krys -- thanks!
	8:32pm Franco Twinkie: Haha! What a show!!
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: I loved that first Kropotkins release so much but I never tracked down any of the subsequent ones. Gonna fix THAT.
	👻 8:33pm Mr Fab: Ah, poor ol' Wm Berger. Didn't he die young of something?
	8:33pm Aitch: Dread Zeppelin was a fun band thinking dub covers
	8:34pm Krys O.: Wm was in failing health for a few years before he died in 2017. He was a year younger than me. I think he was 54.
	8:35pm Krys O.: I liked Dread Zeppelin.
	8:37pm Handy Haversack: Ahhhh, yes. The best.
	8:37pm Scott67: Lucky I didn't do my heady Laura, I wasn't wearing a lid. No liquor, only ever beer here dear! 👍😎🍻🌻
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: Eartha Kitt is my Co-Pilot.
	👻 8:38pm Mr Fab: Eartha didn't want to sing thru tremolo?
	8:38pm Krys O.: Tee hee, Austin Rich.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: When you've got a voice like that, you don't need FX.
	8:38pm Scott67: The crying of your manitee?
	8:39pm Joeybug69: Hey Krys! Just got here late to the party, but I’ll check out the archive later. Great set list, love that Easy All Stars project. Prolly have that Gleason inherited from my dad’s collection, he had them all. Cheers & Shemp, of course.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: Sometimes I think I like Eartha Kitt. And then I remember stuff like this, and I think I LOVE her.
	8:39pm Krys O.: It's gonna get raunchy here.....
	8:39pm Scott67: Manatee*
	8:40pm Scott67: Ruanch it baby!!!👍😎🍻
	8:40pm Krys O.: Cheers, Joeybug69!
	8:40pm Xeres of Xeron: Eartha was the best Catwoman
	8:41pm Handy Haversack: Gotta jump up and find some pearls to clutch.
	8:44pm HyperDose: gasps
	8:46pm Joeybug69: Just wow.
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: I've never heard this Tallulah Bankhead stuff before. Where did you get it? This is GOLD.
	8:47pm Franco Twinkie: Did he say what I think he said!?
	8:48pm Krys O.: He did, Franco. He did.
	👻 8:48pm Mr Fab: and people think that the '50s were so innocent...
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: I mean, all the same words we swear with now existed then... and they often were more "subtle" than we were...
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: You notice that no one was yelling, "Fuck, Dude! Dude! That fuckin' ruled. Fuck!"
	8:50pm Scott67: Helen, Aussie Royalty!!
	8:50pm Krys O.: Ha!
	8:50pm Aitch: this scares me
	8:50pm Krys O.: Indeed, Scott.
	8:52pm Krys O.: Medleys on TV variety shows were often bizarre no matter who performed them.
	8:52pm Kat in Chicago: they were!
	8:52pm HyperDose: My idea of the 50's was shattered the day I started reading Peyton Place
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: This Medley rules!
	8:52pm Mr. X: This flows about as well as a Dickie Goodman record.
	8:52pm chresti: My ex worked on shows like this starting in the early 80s
	8:53pm Krys O.: Exactly, Mr. X.
	8:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Happy trails to youu
	8:53pm Franco Twinkie: THIS is gold!
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: I was just thinking about how Medley's were sort of like "live collage."
	👻 8:53pm Mr Fab: the very definition of the word "random"
	8:53pm PaulRobeson1920: Sing yer own special song!
	8:53pm Krys O.: Interesting, chresti. The 80s variety shows were closer to the 70s than they were to our time.
	8:54pm laurapanic: There are so many very cool variety shows on youtube and Tubi. I've watched many of Olivia Newton John's variety specials, for a start.
	8:54pm Kat in Chicago: Even as a kid, medleys like this usually made me cringe.
	8:54pm HyperDose: Reading the medley description really threw me, but that was expertly executed!
	8:55pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, Krys! What a selection!
	8:55pm David in California: Thank you, Krys. I enjoyed listening to the additional covers.
	8:55pm Handy Haversack: So great, Krys! Very glad to have been here. Many thanks for hosting! Stay goldenrod, everyone!
	👻 8:55pm Austin Rich: Great show, as usual! See ya'll in the next chat!
	8:56pm Krys O.: Thank you to everyone for your gracious presence! Mwah!
	8:56pm HyperDose: Thanks, Krys. As someone who missed many of your earlier broadcasts, it's so fun getting to hear a heavy WFMU hitter each month!
	8:56pm PaulRobeson1920: John Brown’s body lies mouldering in the grave! John Brown’s body lies mouldering in the grave, but his SoUL goes Marching Onn! Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
	8:56pm chresti: You know they were well-sauced for it!
	8:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Krys! This was something to have nightmares about.
	8:56pm Krys O.: Welcome to my night traumas.
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: from the days when former big band singers had their own daytime tv shows..
	8:57pm PaulRobeson1920: So Happy Trails to youu , untill, we meet, again!
	8:57pm Franco Twinkie: Wasn't Jack Cassidy in The Jefferson Airplane?
	8:57pm Krys O.: The Dinah Shore show was the best. Bowie was on there.
	👻 8:58pm Mr Fab: Wonderful show for us cover-lovers, Krys!
	8:58pm Krys O.: Many thanks again!
	8:58pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Thanks Krys O : !
	8:59pm chresti: Thanks KrysO!
	9:00pm Krys O.: xxxooo
