	♥ 12:02pm Irene Trudel: Welcome Sylvia, Andrew, Peter, james and all listening in today. Yes, where's Sean?
	12:02pm YETI BOB: Oh, so this is what the "good" Genesis album sounds like. I've been curious.
	♥ 12:04pm doctorjazz: Hi Irene-i recovering from going out to see Wilco last night on a "school night" (with an assist in getting home really late from NJ Transit). Great show, though!
	♥ 12:04pm Irene Trudel: YETI BOB, I really mostly love the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis. I actually saw "The Lamb" live at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. Pretty amazing.
	12:04pm Sylvia: maybe Sean is spending time with the Easter bunny
	♥ 12:05pm Michael 98145: Is the main page wonky, or is it just me? Aloha, Friends.
	12:08pm YETI BOB: Wonky in what way, Michael? Notes flying all over the staff?
	12:10pm Sylvia: yes, Michael and Yeti Bob, Ken said on Joe's board that the website is having issues today
	♥ 12:10pm Irene Trudel: Sounds like a fun night, doctorjazz! Sylvia, maybe he's had too many chocolate bunnies? Michael, can you describe the wonkiness?
	♥ 12:12pm fred: For some reason I feel really down today. Irene's show is what I need
	12:13pm ?: SMK reported Wordpress issues on the website during Joe M.'s show.
	12:13pm adamdoesit: Hi Irene and Monday noontime folks. “Slow Motion Return” feels 2022-appropriate.
	♥ 12:13pm Michael 98145: No stream details are shown. You hafta wanna be here.
	♥ 12:15pm Sean in Bristol UK: Good evening Irene, hello one and all, sorry I am late on parade. In Amsterdam at the moment so things have been a bit blurry
	12:16pm YETI BOB: Oh I see. I was joking about the animation of sheet music that's exploding. I didn't notice the missing links, because I'm in the habit of going straight to wfmu.org/drummer
	♥ 12:18pm Irene Trudel: Hey fred, adamdoesit and Sewan! Hope I can lift everyone's spirits. Can't guarantee I can un-blur your minds (mine included).
	12:19pm YETI BOB: Irene, you can blur it more, that's fine. I don't really need it!
	♥ 12:19pm Sean in Bristol UK: Off for a cycle shortly and will have this wonderful show in my headphones. The weather here is simply gorgeous
	♥ 12:19pm chresti: Hi Irene and company! Listening from tennis booth in Griffith Park..
	♥ 12:20pm fred: Total bummer: Cooper-Moore is playing at my fave venue, but I have a ticket for a dance show that day. Cooper-Moore, damn, but dance comes first
	12:22pm YETI BOB: fred: I'd go see Cooper-Moore, he's just incredible live!
	♥ 12:22pm Michael 98145: i think my head is broken. i keep having dreams involving wearing/not wearing face masks. cripes.
	♥ 12:25pm fred: @YETI BOB: I know, I want to see both; you don't know what dance means to me
	12:25pm YETI BOB: fred: When I saw him a few years back, he began with a spoken-word bit ... about the history of jazz ... "They say that the blues is the mother jazz ... but who is the mother of the blues?" and then he went off into "Sometimes I Feel like A Motherless Child", it was quite memorable
	12:25pm YETI BOB: fred: I clearly don't know what dance means to you, but I respect your love of it!!
	12:29pm ?: Here's a complete Lamb at Rochester, not long after the Passaic show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CkpT2-uxjY
	♥ 12:30pm Irene Trudel: Hi cresti! Tough call, fred. ?, thanks so much for the Genesis link!
	12:39pm Sylvia: did a cat step on a button?
	12:39pm YETI BOB: guitar on this Wilco track sounds great. haven't listend to YHF for a while, this used to be on heavy rotation at Chez Yeti
	♥ 12:40pm Irene Trudel: Oops! Stopped the wrong CD player. No cat, Sylvia, just my blurry fingers.
	12:40pm βrian: Stumbling in late. Good afternoon.
	12:41pm YETI BOB: This is before Nels Cline joined Wilco, IIRC. I wonder who's playing the electric lead on this.
	♥ 12:41pm doctorjazz: The Wilco show was the entire Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, work some add on music as an encore. They added a string quartet (who did an opening set), and a 3 piece horn section. So glad I went (but really beat today). Tweedy doesn't sing like he used to much(but he still can).
	12:44pm YETI BOB: Maybe Jay Bennett (RIP)
	♥ 12:44pm Irene Trudel: YETI BOB, I was thinking it was Jay on guitar.
	12:45pm alanr: checking in from the warmth (app on phone)
	♥ 12:45pm doctorjazz: It would have been Jay Bennett (they dedicated the show to him).
	12:47pm YETI BOB: Dr. Jazz: Glad to hear it. I think he was underrated.
	12:48pm YETI BOB: Irene: All these years I never even noticed the cuss-word in that song! Tweedy kind of mumbles it. Hahaha.
	♥ 12:48pm fred: I'm a total dance freak. I've seen many more concerts, but that's because of the price of tickets. At first I was in love with a dancer, then dance itself, then the kind of dance the original crush couldn't stand. 30 years later, I should have known better, but I have no regrets
	♥ 12:49pm doctorjazz: Never been to that theater before, it's amazing! Such beautiful work,carvings, wow! Will be at The Solid Sounds Festival to catch it again.
	12:52pm YETI BOB: Fred: I believe in chance, but I'll never get the modern dance! ;-)
	♥ 12:53pm doctorjazz: Concerts for name groups now cost about what a Broadway show costs, amazing!
	♥ 12:55pm chresti: Seems like dancers are easy to have crushes on.
	12:55pm YETI BOB: For me it's cellists
	♥ 12:56pm fred: I bailed on seeing Cynthia Loemij, ticket was 120€. I regret not going now
	♥ 12:56pm chresti: drummers, piano players...
	♥ 12:58pm doctorjazz: (so my wife goes to Broadway shows, I go to the concerts... Not that I don't like a good musical, but, hey, have to have priorities...)
	♥ 12:58pm Irene Trudel: Glad you made it, βrian and alanr
	12:58pm YETI BOB: chresti: I want someone to hold me close and stroke me sensually, not beat on me with sticks! :-)
	♥ 1:01pm chresti: Kill me gently with your drumming!
	♥ 1:01pm chresti: Guitar, fiddle..
	1:02pm YETI BOB: HENKI!
	♥ 1:06pm fred: @YETI BOB and chresti: You have no idea what Cynthia Loemij means to me, you just don't
	1:07pm YETI BOB: True, Fred, but I respect your passion!
	1:08pm YETI BOB: Maybe its something like what Circle means to me :-)
	1:10pm YETI BOB: great segue from Circle to Carolne. (OK, I've got work to do, more listening, less commenting!)
	♥ 1:11pm fred: @YETI BOB: I once got to see Richard Dawson, mind-blowing set. Circle many times, mind blowing too
	♥ 1:12pm doctorjazz: This caroline is cool!
	♥ 1:12pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	♥ 1:14pm Irene Trudel: Perfect timing, Summer & Michael & Sylvia!
	♥ 1:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene! And thank you!!
	1:15pm Sylvia: thank you, Irene!
	♥ 1:18pm chresti: Sorry to make light of crushes, fred, didn't mean to disrespect yours, they can be quite serious and maddening (like for some people I know)
	♥ 1:21pm Michael 98145: i have a great admiration for dancers. have no idea how they memorize their 'music'
	♥ 1:28pm fred: @chresti: It's not a crush. Cynthia Loemij taught me all about dance. I saw her for most of her career, and I did learn a lot, I knew when she was about to go just by looking at her. My favorite dance moment was seeing her fall, she recovered so fast few people noticed. I did, and her recovery was beautiful
	♥ 1:30pm Michael 98145: "Both architecture and dance share a passion for space and light in time, however they are on opposite ends of the spectrum with respect to time," - architect Steven Holl
	♥ 1:35pm fred: @Michael 98145: Lucinda Childs' Available Light is a great piece that works down music and architecture
	🥁 ♥ 1:38pm TonyR: Irene's talk of Spring and playlist pic shame me. We had a beautiful 3 days over the weekend, 3 stunning moons, many of the flowering trees in fact DID survive an early chill, but I only went out briefly for errands and sucked my thumb indoors for almost all of it, studying for exams I'll never pass, etc.
	1:41pm Sylvia: Love Clara Engel’s work
	♥ 1:42pm Irene Trudel: TonyR, no worries about staying in. We were so close to doing noting at home Sunday afternoon but spur-of0the-moment, I decided we should get in the car.
	♥ 1:44pm Michael 98145: @fred, i will look for that !
	♥ 1:44pm fred: @chresti: Cynthia Loemij is a teacher to me, not a crush, sorry about being a bore about it, but it matters to me
	♥ 1:45pm Michael 98145: now our late-blooming cherry trees are putting on a show
	1:50pm Sylvia: Clara Engel's BC page claraengel.bandcamp.com They also do their own illustrations, gorgeous
	♥ 1:52pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Sylvia! Clara's newest, Their Invisible Hands, has just been released and it's stunning.
	♥ 1:54pm Michael 98145: 🇺🇦 🌷
	♥ 1:55pm Irene Trudel: Clara was just commenting on Twitter that someone's already stolen/posted flac files from the album online. She's completely independent and that cuts into her making money on it. I believe in paying to music as much as possible.
	♥ 1:59pm Michael 98145: I will not stop being a client of Bandcamp LLC
	♥ 2:01pm fred: Do you have a legit link for her? I probably won't contribute (many calls) but a vouched campaign could sway
	🥁 ♥ 2:09pm TonyR: I downloaded a lot of music in my day, but nothing I could just go and buy.
	🥁 ♥ 2:11pm TonyR: After a nine-month job search, this 59yo got an offer this morning. Yay me! Yay Spring!
	♥ 2:11pm Michael 98145: Congratulations!
	♥ 2:13pm Irene Trudel: That's wonderful, TonyR!
	2:14pm YETI BOB: Allright Tony!
	♥ 2:14pm Webhamster Henry: I'm a big VDP fan!
	2:14pm YETI BOB: We're expecting SNOW in Chicago today. No cherry blossoms for me.
	♥ 2:14pm Webhamster Henry: And Rebecca Martin fan...
	🥁 ♥ 2:30pm TonyR: Question for Irene - you teased the upcoming Glenn Jones album last week, but only had 1 track to play. Do they still sent promo CDs out? Private download channels? Because Nate the K. had 1 early Sonic Youth track from their eventual recent Bandcamp release.
	🥁 ♥ 2:33pm TonyR: The hardy early bloomers in Philly - like the few remaining Magnolia trees - got slapped down with a bitter freeze after ONE DAY showing their stuff.
	♥ 2:34pm Irene Trudel: TonyR, ! was sent the album by Thrill Jockey but was asked not to play more than that track for now (it's the single). More to come. And there will be a physical release in mid-May.
	🥁 ♥ 2:35pm TonyR: THanks, IT. Went to see GJ in person a couple years ago and it was wonderful. Another "Heard it on the Trudel show" artist.
	2:35pm YETI BOB: TonyR: Thanks for the reminder, I'm going to pre-order the new Glenn Jones LP. And I might as well pick up a copy of "Against Which The Sea Continually Beats" while I'm at it, somehow I missed the LP re-release of that gem.
	2:37pm YETI BOB: Bandcamp says "Vade Mecum" (new GJ LP) ships out June 23, 2022.
	🥁 ♥ 2:37pm TonyR: I've got several Glenn Jones CDs ripped to my HD which I don't remember buying and holding, except for "Fishtown". I want to move all the music I can re-rip into one place, and all the music I'd have to acquire in case of data disaster into another.
	♥ 2:39pm Irene Trudel: Ah, thanks YETI BOB! I mis-remembered the release date.
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm TonyR: Thanks, YB. I currently have a moratorium on new inbound physical product, including books and magazines and CDs. THings are way outta hand. June feels like forEVER. I still have to get through May, when he Stones drop that live album from 1977.
	2:39pm βrian: I'm so glad Joshua Redman decided not to become a lawyer.
	2:40pm YETI BOB: I try not to buy too much stuff, but LPs are my vice!
	🥁 ♥ 2:42pm TonyR: My turntble's been mothballed since 2003. I grew up on vinyl, but I do not miss cleaning records, and I dreaded the cartridge changes more than i did dental work.
	2:42pm YETI BOB: TonyR: I have an upstairs turntable and a downstairs turntable and records all over the house :-)
	♥ 2:44pm Webhamster Henry: I have lots of unfile-able vinyl , boxes of K7s and CDs and used to have 14 boxes of piano rolls that I miss along with the matching piano.
	♥ 2:44pm Michael 98145: Records all over the place here as well
	2:44pm YETI BOB: K7s, WHH? I'm intrigued, what are those?
	🥁 ♥ 2:44pm TonyR: I once watched a super-up-close video of a stylus playing a record, and could not shake the feeling after that that with every play, my vinyl was dying. Very glad when CDs came along. Just the idea that there could be friction-free playback....
	♥ 2:45pm Webhamster Henry: K7 == Cassette (how it's pronounced in French)
	🥁 ♥ 2:45pm TonyR: Now do German!
	♥ 2:45pm Michael 98145: 😎
	2:46pm YETI BOB: TonyR: I used to work in an electron-microscope lab and got some pretty interesting images of record grooves in various states. Really interesting. I started to work on an optical (frictionless!) record player but never really got it to work. WHH: Aha, je vois, merci !
	🥁 ♥ 2:47pm TonyR: It's 2022. We were promised jetpacks, and no-needle record playing. Yet where are we?
	♥ 2:48pm Webhamster Henry: The antique recording obsessives are concerned about the state of their grooves. Old shellac records had some grit in the mixture so that in the battle between needles and grooves, the grooves would win.
	♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: @YB, suprised that technology never made much progress ..
	2:48pm βrian: Yes, and no-needle vaccinations, as well!
	♥ 2:49pm Michael 98145: Well, it -does- seem we will be getting breathalyzer Covid testing
	♥ 2:50pm Irene Trudel: YETI BOB, there is a device that will scan vinyl optically and it is called Irene! irene.lbl.gov
	2:51pm YETI BOB: Irene: oh I'm so glad! I was working on something like this (as a hobby project with no funding) in the early 90s. Glad somebody with real resources picked up the project. Our tax dollars at work!!
	2:51pm YETI BOB: (I'd rather have LBL work on optical record players than bombs.)
	2:52pm YETI BOB: I guess LBL doesn't do defense work. Got my labs mixed up. That's Livermore.
	2:52pm βrian: "Your BAC is 0.1% and you have covid, Bro."
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm TonyR: Even dead sober, I could not pass the classic field sobriety test. I get dizzy doing some of the things they make those drivers do roadside. Also, too, balance issues.
	2:54pm YETI BOB: What's interesting about the optical process is that if you have 2 damaged copies of the same record, you should be able to combine them optically into one clean version - the scratches and damage won't be in the exact same place. The more copies you have, the better quality you will get. Can't really do that with audio ...
	♥ 2:56pm Michael 98145: @YB, what a great idea
	♥ 2:56pm Irene Trudel: Thanks to all of you for joining me today! I'm back Saturday at 5pm to fill in for Gina Bacon, and my own show next Monday at noon. Do stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, up next on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	2:56pm YETI BOB: it's also interesting to see the shape of the groove. it's got a deep V, but the elliptical stylus only makes contact with the sides of the groove - even on a badly-worn record, the bottom of the groove is still distinct. so you should be able to extract some signal from that too.
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: Cripes, that was fast. Thanks again, Irene.
	2:57pm YETI BOB: Now I want to quit my job and go work on the Irene project at LBL!!!
	2:57pm βrian: Huh, that's how keyboarded transcriptions are verified. It's not perfect, but different people rarely make the same typos at the same place in the same text.
	♥ 2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks for another great show, Irene! Maybe I'll see you at Town Hall tomorrow! Laters all!
	2:58pm YETI BOB: Time is too fast. See y'all next Monday!
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks, Irene! This week, the spooky dreamy catchy classic sound collages "So Now You Take My Breath Away" & "The Retina of the Mind's Eye." Hello's hither! wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Irene!
	♥ 2:59pm chresti: Thanks Irene! Packing up at work at the end of my shift..

	12:39pm Sylvia: did a cat step on a button?
	12:39pm YETI BOB: guitar on this Wilco track sounds great. haven't listend to YHF for a while, this used to be on heavy rotation at Chez Yeti
	♥ 12:40pm Irene Trudel: Oops! Stopped the wrong CD player. No cat, Sylvia, just my blurry fingers.

	♥ 12:48pm fred: I'm a total dance freak. I've seen many more concerts, but that's because of the price of tickets. At first I was in love with a dancer, then dance itself, then the kind of dance the original crush couldn't stand. 30 years later, I should have known better, but I have no regrets
	♥ 12:49pm doctorjazz: Never been to that theater before, it's amazing! Such beautiful work,carvings, wow! Will be at The Solid Sounds Festival to catch it again.
	12:52pm YETI BOB: Fred: I believe in chance, but I'll never get the modern dance! ;-)
	♥ 12:53pm doctorjazz: Concerts for name groups now cost about what a Broadway show costs, amazing!
	♥ 12:55pm chresti: Seems like dancers are easy to have crushes on.
	12:55pm YETI BOB: For me it's cellists
	♥ 12:56pm fred: I bailed on seeing Cynthia Loemij, ticket was 120€. I regret not going now
	♥ 12:56pm chresti: drummers, piano players...
	♥ 12:58pm doctorjazz: (so my wife goes to Broadway shows, I go to the concerts... Not that I don't like a good musical, but, hey, have to have priorities...)
	♥ 12:58pm Irene Trudel: Glad you made it, βrian and alanr
	12:58pm YETI BOB: chresti: I want someone to hold me close and stroke me sensually, not beat on me with sticks! :-)
	♥ 1:01pm chresti: Kill me gently with your drumming!
	♥ 1:01pm chresti: Guitar, fiddle..
	1:02pm YETI BOB: HENKI!
	♥ 1:06pm fred: @YETI BOB and chresti: You have no idea what Cynthia Loemij means to me, you just don't
	1:07pm YETI BOB: True, Fred, but I respect your passion!
	1:08pm YETI BOB: Maybe its something like what Circle means to me :-)
	1:10pm YETI BOB: great segue from Circle to Carolne. (OK, I've got work to do, more listening, less commenting!)
	♥ 1:11pm fred: @YETI BOB: I once got to see Richard Dawson, mind-blowing set. Circle many times, mind blowing too
	♥ 1:12pm doctorjazz: This caroline is cool!
	♥ 1:12pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	♥ 1:14pm Irene Trudel: Perfect timing, Summer & Michael & Sylvia!
	♥ 1:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene! And thank you!!
	1:15pm Sylvia: thank you, Irene!
	♥ 1:18pm chresti: Sorry to make light of crushes, fred, didn't mean to disrespect yours, they can be quite serious and maddening (like for some people I know)
	♥ 1:21pm Michael 98145: i have a great admiration for dancers. have no idea how they memorize their 'music'
	♥ 1:28pm fred: @chresti: It's not a crush. Cynthia Loemij taught me all about dance. I saw her for most of her career, and I did learn a lot, I knew when she was about to go just by looking at her. My favorite dance moment was seeing her fall, she recovered so fast few people noticed. I did, and her recovery was beautiful
	♥ 1:30pm Michael 98145: "Both architecture and dance share a passion for space and light in time, however they are on opposite ends of the spectrum with respect to time," - architect Steven Holl
	♥ 1:35pm fred: @Michael 98145: Lucinda Childs' Available Light is a great piece that works down music and architecture
	🥁 ♥ 1:38pm TonyR: Irene's talk of Spring and playlist pic shame me. We had a beautiful 3 days over the weekend, 3 stunning moons, many of the flowering trees in fact DID survive an early chill, but I only went out briefly for errands and sucked my thumb indoors for almost all of it, studying for exams I'll never pass, etc.
	1:41pm Sylvia: Love Clara Engel’s work
	♥ 1:42pm Irene Trudel: TonyR, no worries about staying in. We were so close to doing noting at home Sunday afternoon but spur-of0the-moment, I decided we should get in the car.
	♥ 1:44pm Michael 98145: @fred, i will look for that !
	♥ 1:44pm fred: @chresti: Cynthia Loemij is a teacher to me, not a crush, sorry about being a bore about it, but it matters to me
	♥ 1:45pm Michael 98145: now our late-blooming cherry trees are putting on a show
	1:50pm Sylvia: Clara Engel's BC page claraengel.bandcamp.com They also do their own illustrations, gorgeous
	♥ 1:52pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Sylvia! Clara's newest, Their Invisible Hands, has just been released and it's stunning.
	♥ 1:54pm Michael 98145: 🇺🇦 🌷
	♥ 1:55pm Irene Trudel: Clara was just commenting on Twitter that someone's already stolen/posted flac files from the album online. She's completely independent and that cuts into her making money on it. I believe in paying to music as much as possible.
	♥ 1:59pm Michael 98145: I will not stop being a client of Bandcamp LLC
	♥ 2:01pm fred: Do you have a legit link for her? I probably won't contribute (many calls) but a vouched campaign could sway
	🥁 ♥ 2:09pm TonyR: I downloaded a lot of music in my day, but nothing I could just go and buy.
	🥁 ♥ 2:11pm TonyR: After a nine-month job search, this 59yo got an offer this morning. Yay me! Yay Spring!
	♥ 2:11pm Michael 98145: Congratulations!
	♥ 2:13pm Irene Trudel: That's wonderful, TonyR!
	2:14pm YETI BOB: Allright Tony!
	♥ 2:14pm Webhamster Henry: I'm a big VDP fan!
	2:14pm YETI BOB: We're expecting SNOW in Chicago today. No cherry blossoms for me.
	♥ 2:14pm Webhamster Henry: And Rebecca Martin fan...
	🥁 ♥ 2:30pm TonyR: Question for Irene - you teased the upcoming Glenn Jones album last week, but only had 1 track to play. Do they still sent promo CDs out? Private download channels? Because Nate the K. had 1 early Sonic Youth track from their eventual recent Bandcamp release.
	🥁 ♥ 2:33pm TonyR: The hardy early bloomers in Philly - like the few remaining Magnolia trees - got slapped down with a bitter freeze after ONE DAY showing their stuff.
	♥ 2:34pm Irene Trudel: TonyR, ! was sent the album by Thrill Jockey but was asked not to play more than that track for now (it's the single). More to come. And there will be a physical release in mid-May.
	🥁 ♥ 2:35pm TonyR: THanks, IT. Went to see GJ in person a couple years ago and it was wonderful. Another "Heard it on the Trudel show" artist.
	2:35pm YETI BOB: TonyR: Thanks for the reminder, I'm going to pre-order the new Glenn Jones LP. And I might as well pick up a copy of "Against Which The Sea Continually Beats" while I'm at it, somehow I missed the LP re-release of that gem.
	2:37pm YETI BOB: Bandcamp says "Vade Mecum" (new GJ LP) ships out June 23, 2022.
	🥁 ♥ 2:37pm TonyR: I've got several Glenn Jones CDs ripped to my HD which I don't remember buying and holding, except for "Fishtown". I want to move all the music I can re-rip into one place, and all the music I'd have to acquire in case of data disaster into another.
	♥ 2:39pm Irene Trudel: Ah, thanks YETI BOB! I mis-remembered the release date.
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm TonyR: Thanks, YB. I currently have a moratorium on new inbound physical product, including books and magazines and CDs. THings are way outta hand. June feels like forEVER. I still have to get through May, when he Stones drop that live album from 1977.
	2:39pm βrian: I'm so glad Joshua Redman decided not to become a lawyer.
	2:40pm YETI BOB: I try not to buy too much stuff, but LPs are my vice!
	🥁 ♥ 2:42pm TonyR: My turntble's been mothballed since 2003. I grew up on vinyl, but I do not miss cleaning records, and I dreaded the cartridge changes more than i did dental work.
	2:42pm YETI BOB: TonyR: I have an upstairs turntable and a downstairs turntable and records all over the house :-)
	♥ 2:44pm Webhamster Henry: I have lots of unfile-able vinyl , boxes of K7s and CDs and used to have 14 boxes of piano rolls that I miss along with the matching piano.
	♥ 2:44pm Michael 98145: Records all over the place here as well
	2:44pm YETI BOB: K7s, WHH? I'm intrigued, what are those?
	🥁 ♥ 2:44pm TonyR: I once watched a super-up-close video of a stylus playing a record, and could not shake the feeling after that that with every play, my vinyl was dying. Very glad when CDs came along. Just the idea that there could be friction-free playback....
	♥ 2:45pm Webhamster Henry: K7 == Cassette (how it's pronounced in French)
	🥁 ♥ 2:45pm TonyR: Now do German!
	♥ 2:45pm Michael 98145: 😎
	2:46pm YETI BOB: TonyR: I used to work in an electron-microscope lab and got some pretty interesting images of record grooves in various states. Really interesting. I started to work on an optical (frictionless!) record player but never really got it to work. WHH: Aha, je vois, merci !
	🥁 ♥ 2:47pm TonyR: It's 2022. We were promised jetpacks, and no-needle record playing. Yet where are we?
	♥ 2:48pm Webhamster Henry: The antique recording obsessives are concerned about the state of their grooves. Old shellac records had some grit in the mixture so that in the battle between needles and grooves, the grooves would win.
	♥ 2:48pm Michael 98145: @YB, suprised that technology never made much progress ..
	2:48pm βrian: Yes, and no-needle vaccinations, as well!
	♥ 2:49pm Michael 98145: Well, it -does- seem we will be getting breathalyzer Covid testing
	♥ 2:50pm Irene Trudel: YETI BOB, there is a device that will scan vinyl optically and it is called Irene! irene.lbl.gov
	2:51pm YETI BOB: Irene: oh I'm so glad! I was working on something like this (as a hobby project with no funding) in the early 90s. Glad somebody with real resources picked up the project. Our tax dollars at work!!
	2:51pm YETI BOB: (I'd rather have LBL work on optical record players than bombs.)
	2:52pm YETI BOB: I guess LBL doesn't do defense work. Got my labs mixed up. That's Livermore.
	2:52pm βrian: "Your BAC is 0.1% and you have covid, Bro."
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm TonyR: Even dead sober, I could not pass the classic field sobriety test. I get dizzy doing some of the things they make those drivers do roadside. Also, too, balance issues.
	2:54pm YETI BOB: What's interesting about the optical process is that if you have 2 damaged copies of the same record, you should be able to combine them optically into one clean version - the scratches and damage won't be in the exact same place. The more copies you have, the better quality you will get. Can't really do that with audio ...
	♥ 2:56pm Michael 98145: @YB, what a great idea
	♥ 2:56pm Irene Trudel: Thanks to all of you for joining me today! I'm back Saturday at 5pm to fill in for Gina Bacon, and my own show next Monday at noon. Do stay tuned for Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza, up next on the Drummer stream: wfmu.org...
	2:56pm YETI BOB: it's also interesting to see the shape of the groove. it's got a deep V, but the elliptical stylus only makes contact with the sides of the groove - even on a badly-worn record, the bottom of the groove is still distinct. so you should be able to extract some signal from that too.
	♥ 2:57pm Michael 98145: Cripes, that was fast. Thanks again, Irene.
	2:57pm YETI BOB: Now I want to quit my job and go work on the Irene project at LBL!!!
	2:57pm βrian: Huh, that's how keyboarded transcriptions are verified. It's not perfect, but different people rarely make the same typos at the same place in the same text.
	♥ 2:57pm doctorjazz: Thanks for another great show, Irene! Maybe I'll see you at Town Hall tomorrow! Laters all!
	2:58pm YETI BOB: Time is too fast. See y'all next Monday!
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Thanks, Irene! This week, the spooky dreamy catchy classic sound collages "So Now You Take My Breath Away" & "The Retina of the Mind's Eye." Hello's hither! wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Irene!
	♥ 2:59pm chresti: Thanks Irene! Packing up at work at the end of my shift..
