	9:21pm northguineahills: i'm sew bleeding jealous, HD....(can't wait until the goddesses deem myself worthy to have a kitchen again)
	9:22pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida didnt know u were in CO - love me Denver and Boulder - and remember (pre that nasty flooding) about 7 years ago on an early Sunday morning in Boulder finding this wonderful (but not yet open for business) used record store that trustingly had left three crates of vinyl out front and envelopes for honor code record buyers to pay for them in the closed door mail slot - hey NGH
	🥀 9:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mona and magnificent music mavens. Still over an hour to sunset here at my dear mother's in Bale Township 46.32° N 97.68° W. The fun part was hearing Bo Diddley next to her dog Bo.
	9:23pm northguineahills: Da Lab! (sort of...😁) How this remix missed me is beyond any comprehension on my part...
	9:23pm HyperDose: It will happen, ngh. You just spoke it into existence! ✨🕊️ Evening, Alan y Billy Jam.
	9:23pm northguineahills: @HD: tulpa kitchens are the best!
	9:24pm Billy Jam: hey Ken from Hyde Park - didnt notice your comment on my show in time to respond - @HyperD evening all (said in UK bobby/cop voice)
	9:24pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam I lived in Costa Rica 2011 to 2017 after living in NYC 10 yrs to the day...
	9:25pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida - you have good taste in places to live. Where will be next for you? Or is CO that final stop?
	9:26pm kwatts: Ah nice. I dig this groove.
	9:26pm northguineahills: @Ken: You're in one of the few states I've yet to set food in.....
	9:27pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam good for now. low rent,, low $ legal weed, can walk everywhere I need (can't drive, seizures)
	🥀 9:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, no worries, Billy Jam. I think the dog's full name is Bort. I need to get him a souvenir license plate.
	9:29pm luka: {beavis and butthead booty dance}
	9:29pm northguineahills: Ken beat me to the punch before there was a punch....
	9:31pm radiofreebronx: I love this version of Slippery People so much
	9:32pm northguineahills: what radiofreebronx said....
	🥀 9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Your dog also is named Bort, ngh?
	9:33pm Billy Jam: totally forgot about this version of "Slippery People" - good one! @PuraVida - sounds like a perfect fit for you in Boulder CO
	9:33pm northguineahills: @Ken: no, but I've always keep on finding souvenir license plates for Bort ;p
	9:35pm alanSixº: hey pura vida i have lived in costa rica for a combined approximately 5 years over the last 17 years
	9:35pm jeanli: wow gr8 version!
	9:35pm luka: oh shit i typed that last post without actually seeing the gif Mona posted lolol
	9:35pm Billy Jam: and for those taking notes - this is the second Staple Singers song in past hour on WFMU -as Mr Fine Wine played the earlier era Staples joint "Samson and Delilah"
	9:35pm alanSixº: maybe six years actually
	9:35pm northguineahills: @luka:jajaja!
	9:38pm Mona: lol luka i posted it after you said it - i'm taking gif requests tonight also you know what's funny billy, this is not the first time i've repeated artists with mr fine wine - i also did during my pride special with esquerita - who would think mr fine wine and i would be pulling the same records for our sets <3
	9:39pm luka: <3 <3 <3
	9:39pm Billy Jam: @Mona -I know right? But it all somehow works in a unique WFMU kinda way - totally diverse yet somehow cohesive station
	9:39pm PuraVida: I wonder if Chris Frantz has ever played this version on his once monthly radio show on WPKN.ORG in Bridgeport Connecticut
	9:41pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida - speaking of radio stations do u ever listen to KGNU in Boulder (also on FM dial in Denver)?
	9:41pm alanSixº: lots of devil references on the air today - is it like national satan day or something?
	9:42pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam I have KGNU & WFMU open at all times but I am always listening tot WFMU
	9:42pm radiofreebronx: Synths here give me Nation Of Language vibes
	9:43pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam both streaming
	9:43pm Billy Jam: this is a great (and very true) mantra since creation really does keep the devil/negativity at bay - away
	9:44pm luka: ^_^
	9:45pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida - next time I do a live WFMU remote broadcast from Colorado will be sure to let you know in advance - maybe u can stop by
	9:45pm Jesse Dorris: Great show so far Mona!
	9:46pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam KGNU has broadcast studios here in Boulder & downtonwn Denver
	🥀 9:46pm NickM: If you try hard enough, every day can be Satan day!
	9:46pm Mona: ack ICON IN THE HAUS, thank you jesse!
	9:46pm ron-ji: Great set, but of course. The last five DJs have all been amazing in their own ways today/night. I’m not even sure anymore why other radio stations even exist at this point.
	9:46pm still b/p: The devil went up to Jersey, He was looking for some sounds to steal...
	9:47pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam cool, I'll look you up through your profile
	9:47pm alanSixº: sheila had a lot of fun with devil tunes today
	9:47pm Billy Jam: @still b/p haha - @ron-ji - you might be right about that
	9:47pm northguineahills: remember when caribou was manitoba until handsome dick manitoba threaten him w/ legal action?
	9:48pm luka: these summer fridays rips so hard starting with Faye. it’s wild.
	9:49pm ron-ji: Every day is Satan Day in America! Ok, every day is Satan Day on WFMU. And Dec 25 is Santa Day all around the world.
	🥀 9:49pm NickM: Help doctor! I need to feel more feelings and less feelings!
	9:49pm luka: oh hell and damn yes
	9:50pm radiofreebronx: It’s the eyes for me....
	9:50pm Dano59: oh, Mona! nice remix (and anything beats Jackie DeShannon's original, I regret to say)
	9:50pm ron-ji: Let’s all write letters to Satan requesting that commercial radio stations be banished from Earth to His Demonic Domain.
	9:51pm ron-ji: Has anyone played HADESTOWN for World Satan Day yet?
	9:52pm Dano59: Satan Claus is out there
	🥀 9:53pm NickM: If world Satan day is real I'll see you all there ;)
	9:53pm Jesse Dorris: Alright!
	9:54pm radiofreebronx: Play What Thou Wilt
	9:55pm Dano59: a gif of Mick Jaggar dancing would be Satan-appropriate.
	9:55pm PuraVida: Reminds me of Friday nights at the Fifth Column in Washington DC around 1990 right across the street from the original 930 club on F St NW
	9:56pm HyperDose: Yay Jesse's here :)
	9:56pm northguineahills: Lucifer Rising would work as well....
	🥀 9:56pm NickM: Or all winners Trinity snatch game .gif

	10:03pm Dano59: for starters, efd has been doing some epic fill-ins on Wake.
	10:03pm ruby: quarantine jams were life changing. lbh
	10:03pm ron-ji: Welcome back Mona! I respectfully point out that the Sterling Void version is the original and the Pets’ is the (much better) cover.
	10:04pm alanSixº: jesse, for school or to publish?
	10:04pm DjArioch: Long time listener, first time poster.
	10:04pm Dano59: maybe Jen Trynin's Devil's Got Your Boyfriend.
	10:05pm Mona: OMG thank you ron ji! so embarrassing, will correct next mic break!
	10:05pm Mona: can we blame the rona?
	10:05pm Dano59: Sheila got through a whole show. without playing Devil in His Heart.
	10:06pm still b/p: Satan AND the virus be collabo-gangin' up on ya.
	10:07pm Dano59: Paloma just GOES for. it
	🥀 10:07pm NickM: Blame the Rona! By Shaggy ft. Rik Rok
	10:08pm Jesse Dorris: Alan, for one of the art mags I write for
	10:08pm Jesse Dorris: It's all Rona's fault!
	10:08pm alanSixº: very cool jesse
	10:08pm ron-ji: We can ALL blame the Rona for EVERYTHING for the rest of our lives. We can still keep blaming Satan for everything, too. After all, the Rona was his best work in decades.
	10:09pm alanSixº: goddamn rona
	10:09pm DanFA: @Mona, blame it on tha Rona.
	10:09pm alanSixº: satan is way cooler than the rona
	10:09pm Jesse Dorris: This Chapterhouse is a swoooooon
	10:09pm northguineahills: switch the track and artist, if i'm not mistaken...
	10:10pm northguineahills: and what jesse said....
	10:10pm Mona: yes ngh! rona take the wheel!
	10:11pm Keys_Made: <3
	10:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Then again the pandemic kept Drumpf from being reelected. What Tolkien called a Eucatastrophe ?
	10:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YES. Their version.
	10:13pm northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit: yes, a eucatastrophe, and yes! the L&R versionn!
	10:13pm Mona: Temptations covered them right?
	10:14pm Andres: !!!
	10:14pm northguineahills: oui, mon amie!
	10:15pm DanFA: @Mona, also Anthrax
	10:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Temptations are unassailable. No worries there.
	10:16pm still b/p: "The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us; but he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. His attack is psychological, Damien. And powerful."
	10:17pm northguineahills: scratching that south african itch...
	10:17pm alanSixº: major snack shortage at the magic factory
	🥀 10:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mona > 'Rona
	10:18pm alanSixº: i could really use a few reeses
	10:20pm still b/p: I got sunflower butter and cashew butter dark chocolate cups on recent birthday. Like narcotics.
	10:21pm Jesse Dorris: Tina Turner also does a great cover of that Love & Rockets song :)
	10:21pm radiofreebronx: Here this as “Hot Roast Beef Blues” and you will never be the same again
	10:21pm alanSixº: rub it in still b/p!
	10:21pm radiofreebronx: Hear++
	10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sunflower butter a current fave.
	10:21pm alanSixº: way cheaper than almond butter too
	🥀 10:21pm NickM: So ..Rona is weird for me because when I was in college circa 2008 I worked at Rutgers making a "pandemic simulation video game" where you keep your business running during a pandemic. Everyone complained about how no matter how they played the game basically they lost. The game was modeled on real world data provided by the offices of continuing public education. After it was reviewed, the college wanted the game to be "easier"... The last few years have been the punchline to the joke that is my life.
	10:22pm still b/p: Sorry. Maybe snack pride goeth before a fall.
	10:22pm northguineahills: haha, nice, nickm...
	10:26pm still b/p: That would've been a great story, nickm, for news to feature at early heights of pandemic attention and amid the other stories on the warnings and advice on record, but that portion of media attention span has sailed, slid, slouched on.
	10:28pm radiofreebronx: Gonna say Chad and Dave was a UK trip find
	10:29pm Mona: yes! from an episode of only fools and horses - a new discovery for me...SO HILARIOUS
	10:30pm radiofreebronx: Nice @mona
	10:32pm still b/p: There was a hue of "I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" in "Margate."
	10:39pm Jesse Dorris: C'mon Blue Boy!
	10:40pm Jesse Dorris: Meanwhile I'm terrified we're all just actually living inside NickM's game
	10:40pm northguineahills: @jesse: you're not supposed to say that out loud....
	10:42pm Jesse Dorris: legendary kiss curl
	10:43pm DanFA: Is this blue eyed soul?
	10:44pm Keys_Made: ilove when she tells me about her quarrels
	🥀 10:45pm D Rok: Sounding great Mona!
	10:49pm JakeGould: Mona? You getting over the Rona? I assure you that can mess with you head. I think my case of brain fog only really passed finally after 2+ years. Seriously. I had Rona back in February 2020. No vaxx then!
	10:50pm northguineahills: it's really a curiosity I don't have any Bob Lind on vinyl....
	10:51pm ron-ji: M-m-m-MY MonaRona…
	10:52pm northguineahills: arigato, mona....
	10:54pm Dano59: this Con Dolore is really, really beautiful.
	10:55pm alanSixº: yeah dano59 this is sweet
	10:57pm chresti: Hi Mona and mes amis!
	10:58pm DanFA: Great levels.
	10:58pm northguineahills: @Dano59: a friend's band, also on this comp is loveliescrushing, and ecstasy of st theresa, amongst others...
	11:00pm DanFA: Holding everything together with duct tape. Duct tape. It's the cure to all of life's problems.
	11:00pm Dano59: in my day we had spit and baling wire.
	11:01pm northguineahills: @Jake: I had the 'rona two weeks ago, and all I did in quarantine was sleep 12-14 hours a day, otherwise, no symptoms... (my brain is a fog already, so, I wouldn't notice).
	11:02pm Dano59: the Moonrise Kingdom still for Paloma Faith is much appreciated.
	11:03pm Dano59: @ngh: I think I need to hear the rest of that album ... there's one copy on Discogs
	11:06pm northguineahills: I was just reading about his Orbital special release.... I first saw them in '95 (just started uni)...
	11:09pm seedfriend: !!! Horror folk !!!
	11:09pm northguineahills: @Dano: i think I know most of the people who got the original copy, as it was made for their wedding (I ended up djing)
	11:12pm Mystery Juggalo: Those "fine night tonight vocals" are prominently sampled on the great Violent J's brother ep first track
	11:15pm northguineahills: oooooo, derrick may!
	11:19pm Jesse Dorris: release the wiggle!
	11:20pm northguineahills: @Jesse: or in the words of herbie hancock, wiggle waggle.....
	11:22pm Mona: any opinions on the new beyonce? i saw a lot of people on the internet annoyed about the house sounds
	11:23pm DanFA: Is this the new Beyonce?
	11:24pm Mona: right before this techno track!
	11:24pm northguineahills: my opinions on beyonce are void, as I never had an opinion of her music beforehand, but my ears perk up to the pulsing soul of house.....
	11:25pm DjArioch: Every time I hear a great dance song I look it up and it's HAAi and I love it.
	11:25pm CrunchyBob: @Mona: Not a fan, but I quite liked it. Now I've been definitely digging any HAAi that I've heard tho'
	11:26pm DjArioch: HAAI and Boy Harsher are my current obsessions
	11:26pm Richy4619: ▓▒░☆ﾟ♪-.┗(｀ー´)┓┏(＾0＾)┛♬·。ﾟ░
	11:26pm DanFA: @Mona, right. I have no strong feelings one way or another towards Beyonce's music. Sounded very house.
	11:27pm northguineahills: ....reminds me, the Bunker party is back on the 29th.... (for you nycers)
	11:28pm Jesse Dorris: I think it's a great single and if the rumors are true about a certain legendary house producer working on the album, it's going to be major....
	11:28pm Jesse Dorris: oh damn @northguineahills I wonder if I'll be in town
	11:29pm Dano59: my snack stash is running low so I've dug into beef jerky and plantains from last night's Salvadoran food truck dinner. Would rather have Junior Mints.
	11:30pm Mona: dano, sharing is caring...please to have? can you also send some chocoolate to alan?
	11:30pm alanSixº: Dano59 what I would do for a few junior mints
	11:31pm Dano59: why shouldn't Bey be allowed to be house?
	11:31pm northguineahills: @jesse: (dj nobux, wata iragashi, blacklauren, mike servito, analog soul, + more)
	11:32pm Dano59: Mona, I felt for you just as I hit the button. I'm 4 hours. away so I hope you are using DoorDash and your friends to the full extent. No one should be housebound without snackage. You can't. live on music alone!
	11:32pm Jesse Dorris: that's a helluva lineup!
	11:33pm northguineahills: @jesse: just based on that one bey track, I have a good clue who the producer is....
	11:34pm Dano59: @Jesse: read your piece on Ugo Mulas. Good stuff!
	11:39pm Jesse Dorris: haha I've said too much already
	11:39pm Jesse Dorris: aww shucks @Dano, that's very kind of you, thanks!
	11:40pm Billy Jam: love me dem Cockney Rebels/Steve Harley and have this rekkid - and just played it other day
	11:43pm northguineahills: ack, mukatu astatke! (saw him when he came to nyc)
	11:45pm Dano59: I was on a Heavenly/Sarah Records/Cocteau Twins/dreampop kick a couple months ago. I think my next set of rabbitholes will be Ethiopiques.
	11:46pm northguineahills: @Dano: both good holes to spelunk!
	11:52pm northguineahills: uhhh, I think Alan starved to death, someone check on him!
	11:52pm Dano59: I hope Friday is the night Jersey City doesn't roll up its sidewalks early
	11:53pm Mona: all hail alan...thank you so much for making it possible for me to hang with you all tonight!
	11:54pm Billy Jam: thank you Mona for DJing and Alan (Mondays 3am on WFMU) for engineering

	9:22pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida didnt know u were in CO - love me Denver and Boulder - and remember (pre that nasty flooding) about 7 years ago on an early Sunday morning in Boulder finding this wonderful (but not yet open for business) used record store that trustingly had left three crates of vinyl out front and envelopes for honor code record buyers to pay for them in the closed door mail slot - hey NGH
	🥀 9:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mona and magnificent music mavens. Still over an hour to sunset here at my dear mother's in Bale Township 46.32° N 97.68° W. The fun part was hearing Bo Diddley next to her dog Bo.

	9:23pm HyperDose: It will happen, ngh. You just spoke it into existence! ✨🕊️ Evening, Alan y Billy Jam.
	9:23pm northguineahills: @HD: tulpa kitchens are the best!

	9:25pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida - you have good taste in places to live. Where will be next for you? Or is CO that final stop?
	9:26pm kwatts: Ah nice. I dig this groove.
	9:26pm northguineahills: @Ken: You're in one of the few states I've yet to set food in.....
	9:27pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam good for now. low rent,, low $ legal weed, can walk everywhere I need (can't drive, seizures)
	🥀 9:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, no worries, Billy Jam. I think the dog's full name is Bort. I need to get him a souvenir license plate.
	9:29pm luka: {beavis and butthead booty dance}
	9:29pm northguineahills: Ken beat me to the punch before there was a punch....
	9:31pm radiofreebronx: I love this version of Slippery People so much
	9:32pm northguineahills: what radiofreebronx said....
	🥀 9:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Your dog also is named Bort, ngh?
	9:33pm Billy Jam: totally forgot about this version of "Slippery People" - good one! @PuraVida - sounds like a perfect fit for you in Boulder CO
	9:33pm northguineahills: @Ken: no, but I've always keep on finding souvenir license plates for Bort ;p
	9:35pm alanSixº: hey pura vida i have lived in costa rica for a combined approximately 5 years over the last 17 years
	9:35pm jeanli: wow gr8 version!
	9:35pm luka: oh shit i typed that last post without actually seeing the gif Mona posted lolol
	9:35pm Billy Jam: and for those taking notes - this is the second Staple Singers song in past hour on WFMU -as Mr Fine Wine played the earlier era Staples joint "Samson and Delilah"
	9:35pm alanSixº: maybe six years actually
	9:35pm northguineahills: @luka:jajaja!
	9:38pm Mona: lol luka i posted it after you said it - i'm taking gif requests tonight also you know what's funny billy, this is not the first time i've repeated artists with mr fine wine - i also did during my pride special with esquerita - who would think mr fine wine and i would be pulling the same records for our sets <3
	9:39pm luka: <3 <3 <3
	9:39pm Billy Jam: @Mona -I know right? But it all somehow works in a unique WFMU kinda way - totally diverse yet somehow cohesive station
	9:39pm PuraVida: I wonder if Chris Frantz has ever played this version on his once monthly radio show on WPKN.ORG in Bridgeport Connecticut
	9:41pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida - speaking of radio stations do u ever listen to KGNU in Boulder (also on FM dial in Denver)?
	9:41pm alanSixº: lots of devil references on the air today - is it like national satan day or something?
	9:42pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam I have KGNU & WFMU open at all times but I am always listening tot WFMU
	9:42pm radiofreebronx: Synths here give me Nation Of Language vibes
	9:43pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam both streaming
	9:43pm Billy Jam: this is a great (and very true) mantra since creation really does keep the devil/negativity at bay - away
	9:44pm luka: ^_^
	9:45pm Billy Jam: @PuraVida - next time I do a live WFMU remote broadcast from Colorado will be sure to let you know in advance - maybe u can stop by
	9:45pm Jesse Dorris: Great show so far Mona!
	9:46pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam KGNU has broadcast studios here in Boulder & downtonwn Denver
	🥀 9:46pm NickM: If you try hard enough, every day can be Satan day!
	9:46pm Mona: ack ICON IN THE HAUS, thank you jesse!
	9:46pm ron-ji: Great set, but of course. The last five DJs have all been amazing in their own ways today/night. I’m not even sure anymore why other radio stations even exist at this point.
	9:46pm still b/p: The devil went up to Jersey, He was looking for some sounds to steal...
	9:47pm PuraVida: @Billy Jam cool, I'll look you up through your profile
	9:47pm alanSixº: sheila had a lot of fun with devil tunes today
	9:47pm Billy Jam: @still b/p haha - @ron-ji - you might be right about that
	9:47pm northguineahills: remember when caribou was manitoba until handsome dick manitoba threaten him w/ legal action?
	9:48pm luka: these summer fridays rips so hard starting with Faye. it’s wild.
	9:49pm ron-ji: Every day is Satan Day in America! Ok, every day is Satan Day on WFMU. And Dec 25 is Santa Day all around the world.
	🥀 9:49pm NickM: Help doctor! I need to feel more feelings and less feelings!
	9:49pm luka: oh hell and damn yes
	9:50pm radiofreebronx: It’s the eyes for me....
	9:50pm Dano59: oh, Mona! nice remix (and anything beats Jackie DeShannon's original, I regret to say)
	9:50pm ron-ji: Let’s all write letters to Satan requesting that commercial radio stations be banished from Earth to His Demonic Domain.
	9:51pm ron-ji: Has anyone played HADESTOWN for World Satan Day yet?
	9:52pm Dano59: Satan Claus is out there
	🥀 9:53pm NickM: If world Satan day is real I'll see you all there ;)
	9:53pm Jesse Dorris: Alright!
	9:54pm radiofreebronx: Play What Thou Wilt
	9:55pm Dano59: a gif of Mick Jaggar dancing would be Satan-appropriate.
	9:55pm PuraVida: Reminds me of Friday nights at the Fifth Column in Washington DC around 1990 right across the street from the original 930 club on F St NW
	9:56pm HyperDose: Yay Jesse's here :)

	10:03pm ruby: quarantine jams were life changing. lbh
	10:03pm ron-ji: Welcome back Mona! I respectfully point out that the Sterling Void version is the original and the Pets’ is the (much better) cover.
	10:04pm alanSixº: jesse, for school or to publish?
	10:04pm DjArioch: Long time listener, first time poster.
	10:04pm Dano59: maybe Jen Trynin's Devil's Got Your Boyfriend.
	10:05pm Mona: OMG thank you ron ji! so embarrassing, will correct next mic break!

	10:08pm Jesse Dorris: Alan, for one of the art mags I write for
	10:08pm Jesse Dorris: It's all Rona's fault!
	10:08pm alanSixº: very cool jesse
	10:08pm ron-ji: We can ALL blame the Rona for EVERYTHING for the rest of our lives. We can still keep blaming Satan for everything, too. After all, the Rona was his best work in decades.
	10:09pm alanSixº: goddamn rona
	10:09pm DanFA: @Mona, blame it on tha Rona.
	10:09pm alanSixº: satan is way cooler than the rona
	10:09pm Jesse Dorris: This Chapterhouse is a swoooooon

	10:11pm Keys_Made: <3
	10:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Then again the pandemic kept Drumpf from being reelected. What Tolkien called a Eucatastrophe ?
	10:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YES. Their version.
	10:13pm northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit: yes, a eucatastrophe, and yes! the L&R versionn!
	10:13pm Mona: Temptations covered them right?
	10:14pm Andres: !!!
	10:14pm northguineahills: oui, mon amie!
	10:15pm DanFA: @Mona, also Anthrax
	10:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Temptations are unassailable. No worries there.
	10:16pm still b/p: "The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us; but he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. His attack is psychological, Damien. And powerful."
	10:17pm northguineahills: scratching that south african itch...
	10:17pm alanSixº: major snack shortage at the magic factory
	🥀 10:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mona > 'Rona
	10:18pm alanSixº: i could really use a few reeses
	10:20pm still b/p: I got sunflower butter and cashew butter dark chocolate cups on recent birthday. Like narcotics.
	10:21pm Jesse Dorris: Tina Turner also does a great cover of that Love & Rockets song :)
	10:21pm radiofreebronx: Here this as “Hot Roast Beef Blues” and you will never be the same again
	10:21pm alanSixº: rub it in still b/p!
	10:21pm radiofreebronx: Hear++
	10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sunflower butter a current fave.
	10:21pm alanSixº: way cheaper than almond butter too
	🥀 10:21pm NickM: So ..Rona is weird for me because when I was in college circa 2008 I worked at Rutgers making a "pandemic simulation video game" where you keep your business running during a pandemic. Everyone complained about how no matter how they played the game basically they lost. The game was modeled on real world data provided by the offices of continuing public education. After it was reviewed, the college wanted the game to be "easier"... The last few years have been the punchline to the joke that is my life.
	10:22pm still b/p: Sorry. Maybe snack pride goeth before a fall.
	10:22pm northguineahills: haha, nice, nickm...
	10:26pm still b/p: That would've been a great story, nickm, for news to feature at early heights of pandemic attention and amid the other stories on the warnings and advice on record, but that portion of media attention span has sailed, slid, slouched on.
	10:28pm radiofreebronx: Gonna say Chad and Dave was a UK trip find
	10:29pm Mona: yes! from an episode of only fools and horses - a new discovery for me...SO HILARIOUS
	10:30pm radiofreebronx: Nice @mona
	10:32pm still b/p: There was a hue of "I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" in "Margate."
	10:39pm Jesse Dorris: C'mon Blue Boy!
	10:40pm Jesse Dorris: Meanwhile I'm terrified we're all just actually living inside NickM's game
	10:40pm northguineahills: @jesse: you're not supposed to say that out loud....
	10:42pm Jesse Dorris: legendary kiss curl
	10:43pm DanFA: Is this blue eyed soul?
	10:44pm Keys_Made: ilove when she tells me about her quarrels
	🥀 10:45pm D Rok: Sounding great Mona!
	10:49pm JakeGould: Mona? You getting over the Rona? I assure you that can mess with you head. I think my case of brain fog only really passed finally after 2+ years. Seriously. I had Rona back in February 2020. No vaxx then!
	10:50pm northguineahills: it's really a curiosity I don't have any Bob Lind on vinyl....
	10:51pm ron-ji: M-m-m-MY MonaRona…
	10:52pm northguineahills: arigato, mona....
	10:54pm Dano59: this Con Dolore is really, really beautiful.
	10:55pm alanSixº: yeah dano59 this is sweet
	10:57pm chresti: Hi Mona and mes amis!
	10:58pm DanFA: Great levels.
	10:58pm northguineahills: @Dano59: a friend's band, also on this comp is loveliescrushing, and ecstasy of st theresa, amongst others...
	11:00pm DanFA: Holding everything together with duct tape. Duct tape. It's the cure to all of life's problems.
	11:00pm Dano59: in my day we had spit and baling wire.
	11:01pm northguineahills: @Jake: I had the 'rona two weeks ago, and all I did in quarantine was sleep 12-14 hours a day, otherwise, no symptoms... (my brain is a fog already, so, I wouldn't notice).
	11:02pm Dano59: the Moonrise Kingdom still for Paloma Faith is much appreciated.
	11:03pm Dano59: @ngh: I think I need to hear the rest of that album ... there's one copy on Discogs
	11:06pm northguineahills: I was just reading about his Orbital special release.... I first saw them in '95 (just started uni)...
	11:09pm seedfriend: !!! Horror folk !!!
	11:09pm northguineahills: @Dano: i think I know most of the people who got the original copy, as it was made for their wedding (I ended up djing)
	11:12pm Mystery Juggalo: Those "fine night tonight vocals" are prominently sampled on the great Violent J's brother ep first track
	11:15pm northguineahills: oooooo, derrick may!
	11:19pm Jesse Dorris: release the wiggle!
	11:20pm northguineahills: @Jesse: or in the words of herbie hancock, wiggle waggle.....
	11:22pm Mona: any opinions on the new beyonce? i saw a lot of people on the internet annoyed about the house sounds
	11:23pm DanFA: Is this the new Beyonce?
	11:24pm Mona: right before this techno track!
	11:24pm northguineahills: my opinions on beyonce are void, as I never had an opinion of her music beforehand, but my ears perk up to the pulsing soul of house.....
	11:25pm DjArioch: Every time I hear a great dance song I look it up and it's HAAi and I love it.
	11:25pm CrunchyBob: @Mona: Not a fan, but I quite liked it. Now I've been definitely digging any HAAi that I've heard tho'
	11:26pm DjArioch: HAAI and Boy Harsher are my current obsessions
	11:26pm Richy4619: ▓▒░☆ﾟ♪-.┗(｀ー´)┓┏(＾0＾)┛♬·。ﾟ░
	11:26pm DanFA: @Mona, right. I have no strong feelings one way or another towards Beyonce's music. Sounded very house.
	11:27pm northguineahills: ....reminds me, the Bunker party is back on the 29th.... (for you nycers)
	11:28pm Jesse Dorris: I think it's a great single and if the rumors are true about a certain legendary house producer working on the album, it's going to be major....
	11:28pm Jesse Dorris: oh damn @northguineahills I wonder if I'll be in town
	11:29pm Dano59: my snack stash is running low so I've dug into beef jerky and plantains from last night's Salvadoran food truck dinner. Would rather have Junior Mints.
	11:30pm Mona: dano, sharing is caring...please to have? can you also send some chocoolate to alan?
	11:30pm alanSixº: Dano59 what I would do for a few junior mints
	11:31pm Dano59: why shouldn't Bey be allowed to be house?
	11:31pm northguineahills: @jesse: (dj nobux, wata iragashi, blacklauren, mike servito, analog soul, + more)
	11:32pm Dano59: Mona, I felt for you just as I hit the button. I'm 4 hours. away so I hope you are using DoorDash and your friends to the full extent. No one should be housebound without snackage. You can't. live on music alone!
	11:32pm Jesse Dorris: that's a helluva lineup!
	11:33pm northguineahills: @jesse: just based on that one bey track, I have a good clue who the producer is....
	11:34pm Dano59: @Jesse: read your piece on Ugo Mulas. Good stuff!
	11:39pm Jesse Dorris: haha I've said too much already
	11:39pm Jesse Dorris: aww shucks @Dano, that's very kind of you, thanks!
	11:40pm Billy Jam: love me dem Cockney Rebels/Steve Harley and have this rekkid - and just played it other day
	11:43pm northguineahills: ack, mukatu astatke! (saw him when he came to nyc)
	11:45pm Dano59: I was on a Heavenly/Sarah Records/Cocteau Twins/dreampop kick a couple months ago. I think my next set of rabbitholes will be Ethiopiques.
	11:46pm northguineahills: @Dano: both good holes to spelunk!
	11:52pm northguineahills: uhhh, I think Alan starved to death, someone check on him!
	11:52pm Dano59: I hope Friday is the night Jersey City doesn't roll up its sidewalks early
	11:53pm Mona: all hail alan...thank you so much for making it possible for me to hang with you all tonight!
