	9:33am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hey Revolution Rabbit. If you go to Saratoga and stop by the Death Wish Coffee store you can’t get a cup there. Just beans
	9:37am ChukAmok: @Mike H Is that "50 Years of Fun" you're talking about? Matt Roberts and Scott Miller?
	9:38am ChukAmok: Ha, I didn't even finish reading your comment before typing.
	9:40am dano59: mmm ... 'Body Heat'
	👻 9:43am Mike H: @ChukAmok Yep that's the one. I think True is actually gonna be on it again next episode to discuss the Legend Destroys the Blues
	9:45am chresti: Morning JA and jazzy jazzers!
	9:46am ChukAmok: @Mike H Very cool. I was in Sacramento several weeks ago and met Scott at Phono Select where he told me about that podcast. I don't know Matt, but I will never forget when he did a stage dive during the Henry's Dress reunion at Rickshaw Stop.
	👻 9:50am Mike H: @ChukAmok LOL. Wish I was there to see that
	9:50am Avrilinmay: ***** sorry it got you. Hope you have fully recovered. feel better
	9:52am John Allen: thanks avril, only a day and a half of feeling poorly
	9:52am ?: Poor JA. You sound like you got roughed up, man :(
	👻 9:53am Handy Haversack: That's good, JA. We had it at the end of June, and it was very mild this time around. I barely felt it, and K8 felt it only for a couple of days.
	9:55am John Allen: yeah it came and went like a lame summer cold
	👻 9:57am Mike H: Glad you're feeling better JA. I got it in late June, was the first time I've had it... despite being vaccinated and boosted, and the comparative mildness of this variant, it still really sucked, I don't recommend it
	9:59am eva: i am looking forward to the newport jazz festival this weekend. saw joni last weekend. it was amazing and very hot. loving the show so far!
	10:00am Avrilinmay: tant mieux (sorry, not sure how to translate that). approximately, "good" although not actually a good thing at all in itself of course.
	10:00am ChukAmok: @JA My covid was the same. A day and a half of fever, then more quarantine time for projects at home. Glad you're better, and back on the air.
	10:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That new Radiohead project came out recently, which made me investigate Sons Of Kemet. Never heard of 'em but man, some very cool funk-oriented jazz.
	10:01am eva: glad you are on the mend!
	10:02am ChukAmok: @Avrilinmay "Better"
	10:02am micah: this late 70s Sanborn is giving me the kindertrauma.
	10:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sanborn is really good on that Tim Berne Diminutive Mysteries record.
	👻 10:04am karlward: This that fire
	10:07am eva: 1989
	10:10am John Allen: this is the experimental funk part of the show and i'm gonna need a realistic head count everybody
	10:11am abbazabba: SMOOTH JAZZ
	10:11am HyperDose: YES I CAN FEEL IT, JOHN ALLEN
	10:11am Passaic River Blues: <<Unironically head bobbing>>
	10:12am abbazabba: I'm present, Maestro, and digging
	10:12am chresti: I'm glad the current covid variants don't make organs explode.
	10:12am D Rok: So SMOOOTH!
	10:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The dammed covid variant is keeping us from seeing an incredible show this weekend: Craig Taborn, Ches Smith, Mary Halvorson. Dang it.
	10:13am Avrilinmay: @ChukAmok : are you referring to the translation of "tant mieux" ? are you certain of that? (hope that does not come across weird or anything. I spend my time translating so I tend to look for the most accurate equivalents, call it a professional tic :) )
	👻 10:15am Mike H: Fully onboard for the experimental funk hour of power
	10:15am Krys O.: Count me in!
	10:15am chresti: Better aunt?
	10:16am ryan d: This is great! City! Love it
	10:16am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I thought "Hide and Seek" by Chuck Mangione would fit in here...but the Watanabe is a little hard-edged for that transition.
	10:16am eva: love this!
	10:17am John Allen: yeah woods we've passed that feeling
	10:18am ChukAmok: @Avrilinmay Yes. Just how I've come to understand it from being around native speakers. By no means an authority on the subject.
	10:18am quinn: yeah
	👻 10:18am Handy Haversack: It's been a while, but isn't "tant mieux" more like "all the better"? Leaves a little room to pre-leaven with irony. Maybe because it's already in contradistinction with "tant pis"?
	👻 10:20am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyy there, good people.
	10:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Man, all of my high school French has long ago leaked outa my head. Wish I'd stuck with it.
	10:22am chresti: I was thinking Tante mieux, my bad!
	10:27am Jeezuseffinchrist: holy sht I thought this was Coil for a min there lol
	10:27am chresti: Woods, you'd be surprised how much comes back.
	10:28am βrian: Mon oncle d'Amérique. Ma tante d'Angleterre.
	10:30am βrian: Wow, today's Epinephrine Roast is kicking my keester.
	10:30am Avrilinmay: so I'll start from the language I know best (which is french) . "Tant mieux" like in this instance, is to say that "it is "better" that X happened because it would have been worse if Y had happened instead, even though X is something that is not good to begin with". so if you see what I meant by it when I said it earlier, if "all the better" is the usual equivalent that is used in English, or in the US, I'd go with it .. but I am a bit uncertain (sorry! :p ) . They all sound to me like conveying a meaning that is closer to a total positive, while 'tant mieux' implies that we are not all satisfied with the situation, it's just more encouraging to say it than something else completely negative. (BUT there are other contexts of course where it is use simply to say that something is positive and we are glad that it is the case) As for "tant pis" they are constructed very similarly granarically but are not perfect antonyms (tant pis basically means "fuck it" )
	10:31am Mike W.: I’m out in the field but not listening, just commenting. I dunno, just trying something different.
	10:33am βrian: @Mike W.: Outstanding!
	10:37am Avrilinmay: gramatically* (uuugh can barely see the keyboard, the phone I am commenting with fell in a bad way on the floor)
	10:37am Passaic River Blues: Nice!
	10:38am John Allen: mike, hold your hands up so we can't see you!
	👻 10:39am Handy Haversack: Thanks for that, Avrilinmay!
	10:43am Avrilinmay: @WoodsofNH : material restrictions aside* (like this damn phone for instance), happy to volunteer as French conversational pal, especially to my wfmu fellow listeners, if you ever needed it I have to say this because I am no stranger to the phenomenon where my brain is up to all sorts of projects while real life conditions are like : yeah lol we'll see if you can add more *** to the plate :D 😭
	👻 10:44am Handy Haversack: C'est vrai, Avrilinmay. C'est trop vrai.
	10:46am Avrilinmay: @Handy Haversack : thank you too :) and Chuck Amock (and I hope I did not go on too much about it , instead of talking about funk jazz :D )
	10:47am ChukAmok: Thanks for illustrating the nuance, Avrilinmay.
	10:51am eva: 1997
	10:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy. I did think about spending some time with one of those language learning apps but the first one I looked at (can't remember the name) was set up to look like a game. I bailed immediately. Gato!!!
	10:55am Avrilinmay: @Handy Haversack : thank you too :) and Chuck Amock (and I hope I did not go on too much about it , instead of talking about funk jazz :D )
	11:00am Avrilinmay: @Handy Haversack @10:44 : non mais t'as vu! c'est grave quoi ! :D
	👻 11:00am Jason from Houston: Just having a discussion about radio call signs with a friend the other day. Nice.
	11:01am chresti: That was a nice call letter thing with the Ws
	👻 11:02am Handy Haversack: Yeah, could listen to that for a long time. Finally, a use for Ws!
	11:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bassline on this reminds me of one of the riffs in Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein"
	11:03am ?: where did ken move to ?
	11:03am Picante Mint: I was hoping to hear WYSO.
	11:04am Listener John from NJ: While hearing the guy reading the letters for NY stations, it occurred to me that it would be a lot less fun if stations didn't have them.
	11:11am chresti: In California, it's the K
	👻 11:12am Jason from Houston: I know of one W in Texas. WBAP.
	👻 11:15am Jason from Houston: First aired in 1922. Before the switch. Still operating.
	👻 11:21am Handy Haversack: Dividing line is supposed to be the Mississippi, right?
	11:22am Krys O.: Tangentially speaking, old QSL cards are an interesting rabbit hole to venture into. oldqslcards.com
	👻 11:23am Handy Haversack: Which I guess leaves those last couple of hundred miles of northern Minnesota some kind of call-sign Cockaigne. QSOP. YBAP. 7. A world made carnival.
	👻 11:24am Jason from Houston: Here for that content, Krys O. Thank you!
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: W east & K west of the Mississippi ?
	11:25am Krys O.: Yes, Handy. And.. Incidentally, radio call signs are reversed out on the ocean. Ship radios on America’s Pacific coast start with W, and with K on the Atlantic side [7]. It’s unclear whether this practise, which precedes call signs for terrestrial radio, is the reverse by intention (i.e. to facilitate the distinction between radio stations on land and at sea) or, as some sources state, the result of miscommunication. In the latter scenario, the aim was to extend W call signs to radio stations on land in the west of the country, and K to terrestrial stations in the east – but the instructions got scrambled somewhere between the draft of the order and its implementation.
	11:25am Barefoot Jimmy G: This Byron Black is outstanding. Year?
	11:26am Various Julius: Those QSL cards are great Krys
	11:27am northguineahills: green tea on an empty stomach was a fool's errand. I'll need to rectify that (why did I eat all of my mochi?). \
	11:27am xtrakrispy: This album is going for way more than $1 on disccogs
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: W for East ...right.
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: So ships have individual call signs? I guess that makes sense. I use a marine radio, but call signs never come up among captains using it -- they also can see one another's transponders on either radar or location apps so tend to know whom they're talking to.
	11:29am HyperDose: Ghost tone, baby!
	11:29am northguineahills: yeah, all radio stations in american samoa start w/ K these days, so marine in must be....
	11:30am steveo: Really nice show today I also enjoyed the part where it faded into classical music for like an hour south of holmdel
	11:32am Yes: hey yal
	11:33am The Butterman: Radio station W.E.F.U.N.K, the uncut funk. The bomb. I now want P-Funk. Who will be the next DJ to play some? I guess, The Pidge, tomorrow will play some. He damn- well better! I’ll probably sleep through it now that I said that. I feel like a jerk now. Future jerk. Also, I use Parliament/Funkadelic interchangeably as opposed to specific according to their proper chronology.
	11:37am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all.
	11:40am prof.fuzz: oh. hell. yes. BIG BOYS!
	👻 11:40am karlward: JA: Thank you for introducing me to this song years ago
	11:40am Passaic River Blues: That Andrew More--where the hell did that come from? Really good.
	11:42am Tinley Park Randy: Haven’t heard this in decades
	11:43am Yes: :)
	👻 11:43am adampsyche: so sad to miss most of this show due to having to do a work, but loving this now
	11:43am prof.fuzz: 3x the punk funk! thanks JA!
	11:43am jt: I'm told members of Big Boys hung posters of all the Frat house locations in Austin which said: "Know your Enemy"
	👻 11:44am Jason from Houston: Niiiiice!
	11:45am dave: Biscuit!
	👻 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, JA. Have a jazzy weekend!
	11:50am Carmichael: Skronk in the AM. Heya JA and FMUers.
	11:50am ifeelfatnsassy: Good grief my ears.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Because of curiosity I'm just riddled with anxiety.
	👻 11:51am adampsyche: this is beutiful
	11:51am Yes: 😎
	👻 11:51am Handy Haversack: Sending this one out to my colleagues. Thanks, JA! Another excellent Friday. Here's to the weekend. Later on, J'All.
	11:51am timinoak: mental flossing music
	👻 11:52am Barney Grubbs: now this is the jazz I have been waiting for (but nothing against the earlier jazz, which was also lovely)
	11:52am mrdonutsu: Not quite enough feedback to really rock, tho.
	👻 11:52am adampsyche: glad the wife is out of the house at the moment or we'd be having discussions
	11:52am ryan d: I like wasteland jazz better than Big boys
	11:52am Yes: getting the full effect combined with my coffee
	👻 11:52am Jason from Houston: Shout out to the volunteer working in the office next to mine. LOL
	👻 11:53am Jason from Houston: Good shit.
	👻 11:53am adampsyche: give 'em hell jason
	11:53am Passaic River Blues: @Jason: hahahaha
	11:54am Krys O.: My colleagues are scrambling to go on lunch breaks and they are unaware of the subliminal hearing test going on now.
	11:54am The Butterman: Glad I’m wearing my pink, “Trust us it’s music” shirt today.
	👻 11:54am Jason from Houston: They are super nice. I turned it down a bit.
	11:54am Krys O.: Thanks, JA!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if Iggy were snarling & groaning with it it'd be Rawk...
	👻 11:55am Jason from Houston: Thank you, JA. Happy Friday. Stay safe and sweet out there.
	11:56am Krys O.: I remember hearing Lullabuys Help the Brain Grow on WoofMoo back in the day.
	11:57am Melissa: Waiting for noon and the torture to stop.
	11:58am eva: appreciate today’s show. trash picking is fun.
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...see.
	11:58am Yes: Thanks JA
	👻 11:58am Handy Haversack: Heh.
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Our tastes were sophisticated but our skills limited.' - Iggy
	11:59am bradford: many thanks JA
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JA ~
	12:01pm Avrilinmay: really happy that I get to hang out with you here. Thank you all (Thanks John. Thank you wfmu volunteers)

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from July 28, 2022

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:33am Danny in Poughkeepsie: Hey Revolution Rabbit. If you go to Saratoga and stop by the Death Wish Coffee store you can’t get a cup there. Just beans
	9:37am ChukAmok: @Mike H Is that "50 Years of Fun" you're talking about? Matt Roberts and Scott Miller?
	9:38am ChukAmok: Ha, I didn't even finish reading your comment before typing.
	9:40am dano59: mmm ... 'Body Heat'
	👻 9:43am Mike H: @ChukAmok Yep that's the one. I think True is actually gonna be on it again next episode to discuss the Legend Destroys the Blues
	9:45am chresti: Morning JA and jazzy jazzers!
	9:46am ChukAmok: @Mike H Very cool. I was in Sacramento several weeks ago and met Scott at Phono Select where he told me about that podcast. I don't know Matt, but I will never forget when he did a stage dive during the Henry's Dress reunion at Rickshaw Stop.
	👻 9:50am Mike H: @ChukAmok LOL. Wish I was there to see that
	9:50am Avrilinmay: ***** sorry it got you. Hope you have fully recovered. feel better
	9:52am John Allen: thanks avril, only a day and a half of feeling poorly
	9:52am ?: Poor JA. You sound like you got roughed up, man :(
	👻 9:53am Handy Haversack: That's good, JA. We had it at the end of June, and it was very mild this time around. I barely felt it, and K8 felt it only for a couple of days.
	9:55am John Allen: yeah it came and went like a lame summer cold
	👻 9:57am Mike H: Glad you're feeling better JA. I got it in late June, was the first time I've had it... despite being vaccinated and boosted, and the comparative mildness of this variant, it still really sucked, I don't recommend it
	9:59am eva: i am looking forward to the newport jazz festival this weekend. saw joni last weekend. it was amazing and very hot. loving the show so far!
	10:00am Avrilinmay: tant mieux (sorry, not sure how to translate that). approximately, "good" although not actually a good thing at all in itself of course.
	10:00am ChukAmok: @JA My covid was the same. A day and a half of fever, then more quarantine time for projects at home. Glad you're better, and back on the air.
	10:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That new Radiohead project came out recently, which made me investigate Sons Of Kemet. Never heard of 'em but man, some very cool funk-oriented jazz.
	10:01am eva: glad you are on the mend!
	10:02am ChukAmok: @Avrilinmay "Better"
	10:02am micah: this late 70s Sanborn is giving me the kindertrauma.
	10:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sanborn is really good on that Tim Berne Diminutive Mysteries record.
	👻 10:04am karlward: This that fire
	10:07am eva: 1989
	10:10am John Allen: this is the experimental funk part of the show and i'm gonna need a realistic head count everybody
	10:11am abbazabba: SMOOTH JAZZ
	10:11am HyperDose: YES I CAN FEEL IT, JOHN ALLEN
	10:11am Passaic River Blues: <<Unironically head bobbing>>
	10:12am abbazabba: I'm present, Maestro, and digging
	10:12am chresti: I'm glad the current covid variants don't make organs explode.
	10:12am D Rok: So SMOOOTH!
	10:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The dammed covid variant is keeping us from seeing an incredible show this weekend: Craig Taborn, Ches Smith, Mary Halvorson. Dang it.
	10:13am Avrilinmay: @ChukAmok : are you referring to the translation of "tant mieux" ? are you certain of that? (hope that does not come across weird or anything. I spend my time translating so I tend to look for the most accurate equivalents, call it a professional tic :) )
	👻 10:15am Mike H: Fully onboard for the experimental funk hour of power
	10:15am Krys O.: Count me in!
	10:15am chresti: Better aunt?
	10:16am ryan d: This is great! City! Love it
	10:16am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I thought "Hide and Seek" by Chuck Mangione would fit in here...but the Watanabe is a little hard-edged for that transition.
	10:16am eva: love this!
	10:17am John Allen: yeah woods we've passed that feeling
	10:18am ChukAmok: @Avrilinmay Yes. Just how I've come to understand it from being around native speakers. By no means an authority on the subject.
	10:18am quinn: yeah
	👻 10:18am Handy Haversack: It's been a while, but isn't "tant mieux" more like "all the better"? Leaves a little room to pre-leaven with irony. Maybe because it's already in contradistinction with "tant pis"?
	👻 10:20am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyy there, good people.
	10:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Man, all of my high school French has long ago leaked outa my head. Wish I'd stuck with it.
	10:22am chresti: I was thinking Tante mieux, my bad!
	10:27am Jeezuseffinchrist: holy sht I thought this was Coil for a min there lol
	10:27am chresti: Woods, you'd be surprised how much comes back.
	10:28am βrian: Mon oncle d'Amérique. Ma tante d'Angleterre.
	10:30am βrian: Wow, today's Epinephrine Roast is kicking my keester.
	10:30am Avrilinmay: so I'll start from the language I know best (which is french) . "Tant mieux" like in this instance, is to say that "it is "better" that X happened because it would have been worse if Y had happened instead, even though X is something that is not good to begin with". so if you see what I meant by it when I said it earlier, if "all the better" is the usual equivalent that is used in English, or in the US, I'd go with it .. but I am a bit uncertain (sorry! :p ) . They all sound to me like conveying a meaning that is closer to a total positive, while 'tant mieux' implies that we are not all satisfied with the situation, it's just more encouraging to say it than something else completely negative. (BUT there are other contexts of course where it is use simply to say that something is positive and we are glad that it is the case) As for "tant pis" they are constructed very similarly granarically but are not perfect antonyms (tant pis basically means "fuck it" )
	10:31am Mike W.: I’m out in the field but not listening, just commenting. I dunno, just trying something different.
	10:33am βrian: @Mike W.: Outstanding!
	10:37am Avrilinmay: gramatically* (uuugh can barely see the keyboard, the phone I am commenting with fell in a bad way on the floor)
	10:37am Passaic River Blues: Nice!
	10:38am John Allen: mike, hold your hands up so we can't see you!
	👻 10:39am Handy Haversack: Thanks for that, Avrilinmay!
	10:43am Avrilinmay: @WoodsofNH : material restrictions aside* (like this damn phone for instance), happy to volunteer as French conversational pal, especially to my wfmu fellow listeners, if you ever needed it I have to say this because I am no stranger to the phenomenon where my brain is up to all sorts of projects while real life conditions are like : yeah lol we'll see if you can add more *** to the plate :D 😭
	👻 10:44am Handy Haversack: C'est vrai, Avrilinmay. C'est trop vrai.
	10:46am Avrilinmay: @Handy Haversack : thank you too :) and Chuck Amock (and I hope I did not go on too much about it , instead of talking about funk jazz :D )
	10:47am ChukAmok: Thanks for illustrating the nuance, Avrilinmay.
	10:51am eva: 1997
	10:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy. I did think about spending some time with one of those language learning apps but the first one I looked at (can't remember the name) was set up to look like a game. I bailed immediately. Gato!!!
	10:55am Avrilinmay: @Handy Haversack : thank you too :) and Chuck Amock (and I hope I did not go on too much about it , instead of talking about funk jazz :D )
	11:00am Avrilinmay: @Handy Haversack @10:44 : non mais t'as vu! c'est grave quoi ! :D
	👻 11:00am Jason from Houston: Just having a discussion about radio call signs with a friend the other day. Nice.
	11:01am chresti: That was a nice call letter thing with the Ws
	👻 11:02am Handy Haversack: Yeah, could listen to that for a long time. Finally, a use for Ws!
	11:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bassline on this reminds me of one of the riffs in Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein"
	11:03am ?: where did ken move to ?
	11:03am Picante Mint: I was hoping to hear WYSO.
	11:04am Listener John from NJ: While hearing the guy reading the letters for NY stations, it occurred to me that it would be a lot less fun if stations didn't have them.
	11:11am chresti: In California, it's the K
	👻 11:12am Jason from Houston: I know of one W in Texas. WBAP.
	👻 11:15am Jason from Houston: First aired in 1922. Before the switch. Still operating.
	👻 11:21am Handy Haversack: Dividing line is supposed to be the Mississippi, right?
	11:22am Krys O.: Tangentially speaking, old QSL cards are an interesting rabbit hole to venture into. oldqslcards.com
	👻 11:23am Handy Haversack: Which I guess leaves those last couple of hundred miles of northern Minnesota some kind of call-sign Cockaigne. QSOP. YBAP. 7. A world made carnival.
	👻 11:24am Jason from Houston: Here for that content, Krys O. Thank you!
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: W east & K west of the Mississippi ?
	11:25am Krys O.: Yes, Handy. And.. Incidentally, radio call signs are reversed out on the ocean. Ship radios on America’s Pacific coast start with W, and with K on the Atlantic side [7]. It’s unclear whether this practise, which precedes call signs for terrestrial radio, is the reverse by intention (i.e. to facilitate the distinction between radio stations on land and at sea) or, as some sources state, the result of miscommunication. In the latter scenario, the aim was to extend W call signs to radio stations on land in the west of the country, and K to terrestrial stations in the east – but the instructions got scrambled somewhere between the draft of the order and its implementation.
	11:25am Barefoot Jimmy G: This Byron Black is outstanding. Year?
	11:26am Various Julius: Those QSL cards are great Krys
	11:27am northguineahills: green tea on an empty stomach was a fool's errand. I'll need to rectify that (why did I eat all of my mochi?). \
	11:27am xtrakrispy: This album is going for way more than $1 on disccogs
	11:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: W for East ...right.
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: So ships have individual call signs? I guess that makes sense. I use a marine radio, but call signs never come up among captains using it -- they also can see one another's transponders on either radar or location apps so tend to know whom they're talking to.
	11:29am HyperDose: Ghost tone, baby!
	11:29am northguineahills: yeah, all radio stations in american samoa start w/ K these days, so marine in must be....
	11:30am steveo: Really nice show today I also enjoyed the part where it faded into classical music for like an hour south of holmdel
	11:32am Yes: hey yal
	11:33am The Butterman: Radio station W.E.F.U.N.K, the uncut funk. The bomb. I now want P-Funk. Who will be the next DJ to play some? I guess, The Pidge, tomorrow will play some. He damn- well better! I’ll probably sleep through it now that I said that. I feel like a jerk now. Future jerk. Also, I use Parliament/Funkadelic interchangeably as opposed to specific according to their proper chronology.
	11:37am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all.
	11:40am prof.fuzz: oh. hell. yes. BIG BOYS!
	👻 11:40am karlward: JA: Thank you for introducing me to this song years ago
	11:40am Passaic River Blues: That Andrew More--where the hell did that come from? Really good.
	11:42am Tinley Park Randy: Haven’t heard this in decades
	11:43am Yes: :)
	👻 11:43am adampsyche: so sad to miss most of this show due to having to do a work, but loving this now
	11:43am prof.fuzz: 3x the punk funk! thanks JA!
	11:43am jt: I'm told members of Big Boys hung posters of all the Frat house locations in Austin which said: "Know your Enemy"
	👻 11:44am Jason from Houston: Niiiiice!
	11:45am dave: Biscuit!
	👻 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, JA. Have a jazzy weekend!
	11:50am Carmichael: Skronk in the AM. Heya JA and FMUers.
	11:50am ifeelfatnsassy: Good grief my ears.
	11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Because of curiosity I'm just riddled with anxiety.
	👻 11:51am adampsyche: this is beutiful

	11:51am timinoak: mental flossing music
	👻 11:52am Barney Grubbs: now this is the jazz I have been waiting for (but nothing against the earlier jazz, which was also lovely)
	11:52am mrdonutsu: Not quite enough feedback to really rock, tho.
	👻 11:52am adampsyche: glad the wife is out of the house at the moment or we'd be having discussions
	11:52am ryan d: I like wasteland jazz better than Big boys
	11:52am Yes: getting the full effect combined with my coffee
	👻 11:52am Jason from Houston: Shout out to the volunteer working in the office next to mine. LOL
	👻 11:53am Jason from Houston: Good shit.
	👻 11:53am adampsyche: give 'em hell jason
	11:53am Passaic River Blues: @Jason: hahahaha
	11:54am Krys O.: My colleagues are scrambling to go on lunch breaks and they are unaware of the subliminal hearing test going on now.
	11:54am The Butterman: Glad I’m wearing my pink, “Trust us it’s music” shirt today.
	👻 11:54am Jason from Houston: They are super nice. I turned it down a bit.
	11:54am Krys O.: Thanks, JA!
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if Iggy were snarling & groaning with it it'd be Rawk...
	👻 11:55am Jason from Houston: Thank you, JA. Happy Friday. Stay safe and sweet out there.
	11:56am Krys O.: I remember hearing Lullabuys Help the Brain Grow on WoofMoo back in the day.
	11:57am Melissa: Waiting for noon and the torture to stop.
	11:58am eva: appreciate today’s show. trash picking is fun.
	11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...see.
	11:58am Yes: Thanks JA
