	3:18pm RevWaldo: Absolutely right about the fork, especially in an office with birthdays and retirements. 🎂
	3:18pm Phillip: Ken never said what they were going to do tonite on ",dinner at andys"
	3:18pm brainiac: I think Seabird is a cover, but I can't remember the original artist. From the 70s I think.
	👻 3:19pm rrg: Nice day if it don't rain.
	3:20pm BH: Brian: Missouri midwest here Anyways, the kitten will eventually wear himself out again, probably. The older cats are asleep so he's trying to find something to do.

	3:22pm wind: 😁
	3:22pm JtotheK: @Irwin - is all of the weather talk prompting any Weather Report? If so - which Weather Report album receives WFMU endorsement?
	3:22pm Phillip: Ken must be paying because andy is a real cheapskate
	3:25pm Phillip: Very nice jazzy sounds @Irwin
	3:25pm Hubig Pie: Weather talk - I have a window sill fulla green tomatoes I hadda pick this am cuz it snowed
	3:26pm Handy Haversack: Was that the first snow of the season, Hubig? K8 and I bet on first accumulation each year. I have set the O/U at December 8. Waiting for her to pick still ...
	3:29pm Robm: @Irwin all of the above about the hell raiser:)
	3:29pm Hubig Pie: Jah, Handy. First since late last May. We usually get snow in October, some years in Sept. It's gonna warm up here this weekend tho.
	3:29pm JetBoy now of Astoria: F the man!
	3:30pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Not Gus. I mean the proverbial “man.”
	3:31pm White Time: (Right)
	3:31pm Dean: WFMU's conception of silence is John Cage's conception of silence.
	3:33pm Robm: I did not know clay was going to be on HBO!!!!!!!
	3:34pm Smacky: Some of my best friends are onanistic shut-ins.
	3:34pm PaulRobeson1922: Sub-Human sensibilities, a
	3:35pm Hubig Pie: Onanistic, just another term for waxing philosophic
	3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if not shut in - you might have Onan the Barbarian ...maybe we do...
	3:35pm brainiac: He said onanistic shut-in as if it was a bad thing
	3:35pm timinoak: The Old Codger will have a few words for Gus.
	3:36pm Carmichael: Taste it!!! TASTE IT!!
	3:36pm JetBoy now of Astoria: This is the money song!
	👻 3:36pm chris in the redwoods: mmmm, biscuits!
	3:36pm FletcherNYC: There it is! Taste it!
	👻 3:37pm AnAnonymousParty: This is what I get for my pledge dollar.
	3:38pm FletcherNYC: @brainiac right?!?!
	3:38pm J. Fred: They're going to take away his sandwich vouchers after that one
	3:38pm The Oscar: That, right there, is what brings me to WFMU.
	3:39pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Great transition there.
	3:39pm Carmichael: Did Gus sign a contract with the same record company as Van Morrison?
	3:45pm Erella: Hi Irwin! I am loving this version of Too High.
	3:45pm Laura L: Got to cut out early to see "Solaris" with live orchestra accompanying the film at NY Film Festival. Fortunately I had just enough time to hit the widget for Gus and Irwin! Will catch up on archive when I return to Earth from Solaris.
	3:45pm Erella: Thank you
	👻 3:46pm chris in the redwoods: sounds wonderful, Laura! enjoy!
	3:46pm Irwin: Erella - Gerry Gibbs is the drummer, always puts together great bands.
	3:46pm timinoak: I remember Jim the Poet covering the morning show and announcing a Belle and Sebastian song but then playing a beautiful punk song instead.
	👻 3:50pm DjLorraine: Laura L i love Solaris! So hauntingly on point.
	3:54pm kuriousornj: lucky you! Laura L
	3:56pm Handy Haversack: Well, gotta head home, under river, over creek. Will catch up with youse thence.
	👻 3:56pm chris in the redwoods: godspeed, HH.
	3:56pm coelacanth∅: greetings Irwin & others
	👻 3:57pm chris in the redwoods: hey, coel!
	3:58pm HyperDose: Oh snap, Irwin is rockin out!
	3:58pm Phillippe: hey coel!
	4:01pm coelacanth∅: aloha chris! Phillippe!
	4:04pm kuriousornj: "... and God created Poodle" - F. Zappa
	4:05pm coelacanth∅: clowns are liars poodles are good dogs if they're not owned by people who'd trim them like poodles
	4:05pm Little Danny: gorgeous
	4:06pm Little Danny: love hampton :)
	4:08pm Irwin: How are all you little biscuit-tasters doing out there today? Tasting that honey sauce?
	4:08pm mb: Irwin
	4:09pm ironybread: Hello the Irwin
	4:09pm HyperDose: Brought a cheeky vial of chili oil if anyone would like a drizzle
	4:10pm JetBoy now of Astoria: I can already tell this is a very sweet cover of Thirteen.
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: Hyperdose, yes please
	4:11pm judy from croton: These feelings never die
	4:11pm francis: This is a cover of a Big Star song if Im not mistaken
	4:12pm judy from croton: Meaning, teen emotions
	4:12pm Irwin: You are not mistaken, fran.
	4:14pm ironybread: Hi Hy, hi coel
	4:14pm francis: I'm still of the opinion that most covers are inferior to the original. I await your comments....
	4:17pm Irwin: Trumpeter Marcus Belgrave wrote this tune.
	👻 4:17pm chris in the redwoods: i have not done the statistical analysis, francis. my gut feeling is that i have appreciated a great many covers just as much or even more than the original. then there's the edge cases, where an unreleased version is, technically, the original, but a released version is known more widely as the original (i.e. Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U vs Sinead's version). in sum, i love covers something fierce. :)
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @francis: I would say that's a blanket Statement. Which might be appropriate re Covers ...& shut ins pun of choice... One thing a good Cover may do is throw light on the Composition from a different angle. Which is worthy - but not necessarily better... Also only one thing it may do... Oh chris is beating me to this...
	4:18pm judy from croton: Sometimes they enrich, or expand. Sufjen Stevens' Ring Them Bells and Herbie Hancock and Tina Turner's Edith and the Kingpin come to mind
	4:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& it's often which you hear first. Aha... Only once have I 'written' something that a person with a more powerful voice sang. Don't know how people more accustomed to that ride feel - but I found it quite remarkable...
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...TheWho for instance have been called a PeteTownshend coverband...
	4:23pm wind: Beautiful simply gorgeous
	4:23pm Dean: Just to complicate the cover-vs.-original discussion a bit: does a band's live performance of an earlier studio recording count as a cover? I think I prefer the Genesis Live versions of many of the songs that appeared on the band's earlier albums. And what about classical music? What isn't a cover? What was the original?
	4:25pm francis: Again the important qualifier was "most". Sure there are definitely some that are better, like Cash singing Hurt, but I find that even when I've heard the cover first, I'll still like the orig. Covers do have an advantage in that they have an updated sound, which can be appealing to the tastes which are current.
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but what %age ...Originals closer presumably to Source. Like Gershwin piano rolls... But some people how more powerful skills of interpretation. Conductors & Ensembles... Recordings unless spontaneous maybe just one Interpretation - & perhaps artificial or sterile @ that compared to Live. & often the Band / Artist themselves finds it 'opens up' more later ...so why not someone else doing the same for it?
	4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Detroit Cobras did covers exclusively yeah ? & they were great. Recently noted people saying they prefer covers of Beatlesongs ...just when I was thinking how definitively TheBeatles covered others. They started as a hardworking club band of course... Few are those who don't do Covers. Any ?
	4:29pm francis: LOL - this Boytoy band sounds like the B52s covering the Dandy Warhols song Bohemian Like You
	👻 4:29pm rrg: I love covers. I don't feel the need to elaborate on that today. I've tasted enough biscuits.
	4:31pm Carmichael: Zawinul ... sweet.
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Take 'Kicking Against The Pricks' by NickCave & BadSeeds. All covers - & he's celebrated as a Writer. Just great.
	4:34pm BH: excited to hear that Tradio is in 90 minutes
	4:35pm Irwin: I don't think a cover of "Taste the Biscuit" could do justice to the original. Altho I understand Billy Ray Cyrus attempted it.
	4:36pm Dean: Amendola drumming here?
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Covers simply a different challenge than composing I suppose. Biscuit seems to have been done defintively yes. I can hear a super heavy growly interpretation...
	4:37pm Phillippe: @RR63 same with Three Dog Night, to different degrees
	👻 4:39pm chris in the redwoods: Shatner would do a kick-ass "Taste the Biscuit", though i feel we should insist Moose stay on the keys.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or a tweaky convoluted Zappaesque Biscuit arrangement... @Phillippe: For instance Badfinger are marvelous, but their 'Without You' fails for just not hitting the note Nilsson can...
	4:40pm Phillippe: Curious note on the Three Dog Night wikipedia page: they've gone through 31 different members since their inception. 2 have died so far, but surprisingly neither was a drummer
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: i usually like the original better - but then there's Wilson Pickett's hey jude, and the beatles' rock & roll music, and both Aretha's and Mavis' the weight, and Harry Nilsson's without you, and big blood's planet caravan - well that one's close. . . but i always like hearing an original cover
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe that's interesting because their original 7 members didn't change at all the entire duration of their "hit-making" days
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jazz being often about Standards has just this challenge of Interpretation...
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a simple observation - & now thinking about Continuity & Innovation as an entire Cultural fundament...
	4:46pm Phillippe: @coel it's actually a pretty cool page if you like charts and graphs and tables and stuff. They've had 19 different lineups since the heydey. There's a nice looking Gannt-type chart that shows how the line-ups overlap graphically.
	4:47pm Irwin: This Supplicants track is a cover of an Alice Coltrane title. Good enough, francis?
	👻 4:49pm 12539: Irwin! That is all.
	4:49pm Dean: Almost read "cover of an Alice Cooper title."
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: definitely have read that,Phillippe, though i may not be accessing it all in my memory bamks. 3 dog night was my main when i was ~8 years old. i still consider them excellent
	4:50pm Handy Haversack: Made it home, somehow. Yo, coela!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course AliceCooper doesn't get the cred he deserves as a Writer. Speaking of Zappa.
	👻 4:50pm chris in the redwoods: Dean, i almost read, "Ptah, El Dachshund"
	4:51pm Dean: Great name for a Wiener dog!
	4:51pm The Count of Al Dente: "Howdy y'all, y'all."
	4:51pm mark: hi, everybody. Late arrival, but I'll catch the rest on the archive.
	4:53pm Feldy: Is Karen a much older name than I realize?
	👻 4:54pm G: Been super busy during the show. But listening. Not disseminating unwisdom. :-)
	👻 4:56pm Listening Out There: I'm part time, but looking for FTE....
	4:56pm chresti: Get me your supervisor now! HAHA
	4:56pm The Count of Al Dente: Why go see a Russian movie with subtitles when you can stay at home and stream the American version of Solaris with John Travolta?
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: Dean i never thought of a live version by the original artist as a cover, but technically i guess it's so. ...i very rarely like a live version better -but again, exceptions exist
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a second take woulda lost the feel...
	4:58pm Carmichael: You never had that person at the tennis courts, chresti?
	4:58pm ironybread: Those last two tracks are a 100% match of my mood today, thanks
	5:00pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	5:00pm Dean: @coelacanth∅: I once felt that way, too, but lately I've been finding many live albums more enjoyable than the canned ones.
	👻 5:00pm Karl Ward: Prague?
	👻 5:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Every song comes from Prague, in the Czech Republic? Cool!
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wait - MANDL - for real ?! ...I can't tell when you're ...how do I know if...
	5:02pm Handy Haversack: It's go time! MANDLPROG! MANDLPROG! MANDLPROG! (Yeah, not getting that out of my system any time soon.)
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cause perfect Program name.
	5:02pm Irwin: It's just been added to the schedule.
	5:03pm Phillip: Blessing in disguise. Dave Mandl returning to the airwaves even for just an hour.
	5:03pm chresti: Yeah PRAGUE!ROCK!
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: :D
	👻 5:03pm Karl Ward: www.wfmu.org...
	5:03pm Phillip: For many many sundays I’d tune into hear “world of echo”
	5:03pm coelacanth∅: i'm PSYCHED, but is it good prog, or genesis?! (or post-red kc...)
	5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cream ftw
	👻 5:04pm Karl Ward: coelacanth∅ said it first
	5:04pm brainiac: I'd call Cream prog-adjacent
	5:05pm Irwin: I'd concur, Brain.
	👻 5:05pm Karl Ward: Handy and others know about my serious and very real medical condition of prog blindness
	5:05pm Dean: Bah, Genesis was a good band through Lamb, at least. A little pompous, but c'mon, that's part of the point.
	5:05pm Irwin: With Cream, often there is math.
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is deep roots.
	👻 5:06pm βrian: Like "proggish?"
	5:06pm Carmichael: Pompous and prog often compliment one another.
	👻 5:06pm Listening Out There: "White Room" is singular...
	5:06pm wind: I never knew genesis is Prague rock 😂
	5:06pm Dean: I'm reading a book of poetry by an acquaintance. Here's a brief passage: Steppenwolf Big Brother Cream
	5:06pm Irwin: I always describe the band Bent Knee as "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" with a better singer.
	5:07pm Carmichael: I consider Genesis proggy until Gabriel left. Then they took the bus to Hitsville.
	5:07pm coelacanth∅: Dean one exception goes back to probably the first live album i ever heard, creatively called "live album", by grand funk railroad. GREAT album and by far the best grand funk. ...and i often don't like the watered-downness of studio recordings; but often the live performances area compromises from the initial idea the composer had for the piece.
	5:07pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: So many great streams today....
	👻 5:08pm βrian: The last time I saw Steppenwolf was on a bar parking lot events sign in Flint, Michigan.
	👻 5:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ginger Baker going to town here.
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Coming exactly between TheWho & Hendrix - Cream get left off the shortlists now. But I was as into their records as a little kid as much as anybody's is the truth of it.
	5:08pm Dean: I adored Peter Gabriel until my love waned. That's just the fickleness of human admiration. There are "live" albums and "live" albums. Warren Dewey, who engineered Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus told me how he spent time with Lowell in the studio redoing the solos.
	5:09pm wind: As long as he doesn’t play emo !
	5:09pm Carmichael: Felix Pappalardi on keys back there.
	5:10pm Feldy: Yes! Phoenix' own Andrew Jackson Jihad
	👻 5:10pm βrian: … on Dort Highway, to be exact.
	5:10pm Dean: Little drop-out in the stream a moment ago. Something by his mom?
	5:10pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, Irwin and Irwinners! Moving on to the productive part of the day!
	5:11pm Feldy: Serendipitously, I was revisiting this one and their "Issue Problems" albums a week ago
	5:11pm Dean: ^about his mom?
	5:11pm Irwin: Dean: Technical glitch, "of sorts."
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: i love Gabriel's first 4 (5?) solo albums; but still only consider early genesis "pretty good". wind & wuthering -barely a prog album, is my favorite genesis album.
	5:12pm Dean: Fave Genesis album is probably Selling England. It's certainly the one most played in my experience.
	5:13pm Handy Haversack: Yup, there it is. www.wfmu.org...
	5:14pm Carmichael: From Genesis to Revelation. Certainly mysterioso prog.
	5:14pm PaulRobeson1922: The opening of the previous song sounded like “Fantastic Piece of Architecture"
	5:15pm Handy Haversack: I'm just assuming that my gateway prog will not be featured. Marillion rarely makes the cut.
	5:15pm Dean: Best Genesis album that has in fact nothing to do with Genesis is to my ear Acqua Fragile's first album.
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had the impression the early Genesis was like KingCrimson before reaching puberty. Which is not necessarily terrible...
	5:15pm Dean: Nor does IQ, Handy.
	5:16pm Irwin: FYI: The prog show actually launches next Monday, but Ken will host the first ep. Mandl begins his weekly stint Oct. 24.
	5:17pm brainiac: I can't believe they're allowing Ken back in the new schedule
	5:17pm Dean: Nor Barclay James Harvest. Real pity.
	5:17pm Irwin: Right?
	👻 5:17pm βrian: Is the show titled ProgGnosis?
	5:17pm Carmichael: What's not proggy about Marillion? Is it the Fish v. Hogarth feud?
	👻 5:18pm Listening Out There: Znort...
	5:18pm Irwin: "Mr. Walker" is a Mighty Sparrow cover.
	5:18pm Dean: Show is called Tales from Topographic Freeform
	5:18pm brainiac: @βrian: Why don't they consult you about these things in advance?
	5:18pm Carmichael: HipGnosis was already taken.
	5:19pm Dean: I mean Mandl Lies Down on Broadway
	5:19pm Handy Haversack: I think people just don't like them, Carm. But they were one of the first bands I ever got into, and I maintain quite a number of soft spots. Julie even played "Grendel" at my request in an "epic songs" hour!
	5:19pm HyperDose: Love to see Mr. Walker's daughter
	5:19pm Dean: Wait. Twentieth Century Schizoid Mandl. Yeah, that's it.
	👻 5:20pm G: Marillion is counted as prog in any book about prog.
	5:20pm coelacanth∅: Dave's tongue in aspic?
	5:21pm Annette: Nice song
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - any blasé feelings about Schedule Changes somewhat ameliorated by the Return of Mandl ...just this moment anyhow.
	5:21pm Handy Haversack: How do I redeem all the Prog Points I accumulated by playing in a Court of the Crimson King-themed D&D[ish] adventure at an actual D&D[ish] convention in a former Playboy Club in the town where D&D was invented. I mean, it's a lot.
	5:22pm Dean: A bunch of my friends who were (and remain) heavy into prog were elated at the arrival of Marillion.
	5:23pm Carmichael: My favorite prog band name thus far is Spock's Beard.
	5:24pm Dean: Il Balletto di Bronzo, my favorite.
	5:26pm coelacanth∅: Moe Moe Moe, how do you like it how do you like it?
	5:26pm HyperDose: @Irwin Have you heard Juliet's first hardcore song? Think you'd dig it www.youtube.com...
	👻 5:27pm DjLorraine: I love the poodle.
	5:27pm PaulRobeson1922: Whoa whoa whoa good chimp, groovy chimp
	5:27pm brainiac: @Handy, You've been to Wisconsin? My respect just continues to grow.
	5:27pm Irwin: Hyper: Yes, I've aired it.
	5:27pm Mr. Jackpots: great song!
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not entirely sure Stipe swings your way dear. Good sense of dynamics tho. You'll be fronting bands in no time.
	5:29pm coelacanth∅: not familiar with medicine but this reminds me of jesus & mary chain
	5:29pm HyperDose: That makes me so happy to hear, Irwin :)
	5:30pm brainiac: There's a really good song on this album...
	5:30pm SeaCreature: Been recording faux King Crimson songs because I wanted to hear new KC. So bring that prog.
	👻 5:31pm DjLorraine: I thought it was detective
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wigkeypedo says Stipe goes both ways - you go go Joan !
	5:35pm PaulRobeson1922: @RevRabbit: Was it Leary who said all people are born that way? The Ancient Greeks?
	5:36pm coelacanth∅: (being a direct descendant of classical music prog isn't always complicated)
	5:36pm brainiac: I think it was Gaga
	5:36pm coelacanth∅: haha
	5:37pm Phillippe: I think "Monkeyshines" woulda been a better name for this record
	5:37pm PaulRobeson1922: @brainiac: yes but Leary said it 1st and before him, The Greek
	5:37pm jan: Irwin: today’s broadcast helps make my hospital stay much more tolerable. That and a diagnosis turning out to be not serious. Gus was good for some levity, too.
	5:38pm Dean: Compare Adrienne Rich on compulsory heterosexuality and Kenneth Dover on Greek homosexuality.
	5:38pm PaulRobeson1922: Aw heck. True love can only exist between two men we all know it’s true. Have you ever played team sports!
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well clearly some are 'born that way'. Kinda respect Stipe for resisting checking any boxes on demand.
	5:40pm Dean: I was born one way or another, but I'm willing to make an effort to change if the price is right.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in fact anyone who tries to put 'normal' & 'sexuality' into the same sentence is immediately suspect to me...
	5:41pm Irwin: "Blue" is a Jayhawks cover.
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & ye harm none do as thou wilt. HBD Aleister Crowley
	5:42pm Phillippe: I'll stick with the original on this one
	5:42pm Carmichael: I remember in the movie Stripes where the Army recruiter asks if Murray and Ramis are homosexuals. Ramis responds, "No, but we're willing to learn."
	5:42pm PaulRobeson1922: Let me get the Nixon encyclopedia out and find the quote on Plato
	👻 5:43pm rrg: Beth's voice is unmistakable. I didn't even have to look.
	5:43pm JetBoy now of Astoria: @Carmichael - one of my favorite lines. RIP Harold.
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. A little like SusannahHoffs. Wonderful.
	5:44pm Tom from Stirling: Oh yeah, Jayhawks, they're good. Not prog, but still....
	5:45pm brainiac: Hey, @Carmichael: Mrs. brainiac ducked into Hilltop yesterday after work to see if you were there. Are you still on the wagon?
	5:45pm Dean: Well, there's "normal" as in bell curve normal and "normal" as in not f'd up, normative. It's the confusion of the two that does so much of the damage.
	5:46pm dale: hey now - really like this philip price tune. never heard of him.
	👻 5:47pm chris in the redwoods: same here, dale.
	5:47pm brainiac: Well spotted, RevRabNov63
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well, 'comparison is the enemy of joy' - but similar good qualities in that range.
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: Gotta feed the monsters. Thanks, Irwin! Later on, all. See you in Prague!
	5:51pm Carmichael: Afraid so, brainiac.
	5:52pm Dean: Joelle Leandre is playing not one, but two house concerts in the area this month, and I can't make either of them. But I did hear Myra Melford, Liberty Elmann, and Ben Goldberg free of charge last week.
	5:52pm PaulRobeson1922: Gay is OK

	3:18pm Phillip: Ken never said what they were going to do tonite on ",dinner at andys"

	👻 3:19pm rrg: Nice day if it don't rain.
	3:20pm BH: Brian: Missouri midwest here Anyways, the kitten will eventually wear himself out again, probably. The older cats are asleep so he's trying to find something to do.

	3:25pm Phillip: Very nice jazzy sounds @Irwin
	3:25pm Hubig Pie: Weather talk - I have a window sill fulla green tomatoes I hadda pick this am cuz it snowed

	3:29pm Robm: @Irwin all of the above about the hell raiser:)
	3:29pm Hubig Pie: Jah, Handy. First since late last May. We usually get snow in October, some years in Sept. It's gonna warm up here this weekend tho.
	3:29pm JetBoy now of Astoria: F the man!
	3:30pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Not Gus. I mean the proverbial “man.”
	3:31pm White Time: (Right)
	3:31pm Dean: WFMU's conception of silence is John Cage's conception of silence.
	3:33pm Robm: I did not know clay was going to be on HBO!!!!!!!

	3:34pm PaulRobeson1922: Sub-Human sensibilities, a
	3:35pm Hubig Pie: Onanistic, just another term for waxing philosophic
	3:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if not shut in - you might have Onan the Barbarian ...maybe we do...
	3:35pm brainiac: He said onanistic shut-in as if it was a bad thing
	3:35pm timinoak: The Old Codger will have a few words for Gus.
	3:36pm Carmichael: Taste it!!! TASTE IT!!
	3:36pm JetBoy now of Astoria: This is the money song!

	3:38pm The Oscar: That, right there, is what brings me to WFMU.
	3:39pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Great transition there.
	3:39pm Carmichael: Did Gus sign a contract with the same record company as Van Morrison?
	3:45pm Erella: Hi Irwin! I am loving this version of Too High.
	3:45pm Laura L: Got to cut out early to see "Solaris" with live orchestra accompanying the film at NY Film Festival. Fortunately I had just enough time to hit the widget for Gus and Irwin! Will catch up on archive when I return to Earth from Solaris.
	3:45pm Erella: Thank you
	👻 3:46pm chris in the redwoods: sounds wonderful, Laura! enjoy!
	3:46pm Irwin: Erella - Gerry Gibbs is the drummer, always puts together great bands.
	3:46pm timinoak: I remember Jim the Poet covering the morning show and announcing a Belle and Sebastian song but then playing a beautiful punk song instead.
	👻 3:50pm DjLorraine: Laura L i love Solaris! So hauntingly on point.
	3:54pm kuriousornj: lucky you! Laura L
	3:56pm Handy Haversack: Well, gotta head home, under river, over creek. Will catch up with youse thence.

	👻 3:57pm chris in the redwoods: hey, coel!
	3:58pm HyperDose: Oh snap, Irwin is rockin out!
	3:58pm Phillippe: hey coel!
	4:01pm coelacanth∅: aloha chris! Phillippe!
	4:04pm kuriousornj: "... and God created Poodle" - F. Zappa
	4:05pm coelacanth∅: clowns are liars poodles are good dogs if they're not owned by people who'd trim them like poodles
	4:05pm Little Danny: gorgeous
	4:06pm Little Danny: love hampton :)
	4:08pm Irwin: How are all you little biscuit-tasters doing out there today? Tasting that honey sauce?
	4:08pm mb: Irwin
	4:09pm ironybread: Hello the Irwin
	4:09pm HyperDose: Brought a cheeky vial of chili oil if anyone would like a drizzle
	4:10pm JetBoy now of Astoria: I can already tell this is a very sweet cover of Thirteen.
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: Hyperdose, yes please
	4:11pm judy from croton: These feelings never die
	4:11pm francis: This is a cover of a Big Star song if Im not mistaken
	4:12pm judy from croton: Meaning, teen emotions
	4:12pm Irwin: You are not mistaken, fran.
	4:14pm ironybread: Hi Hy, hi coel
	4:14pm francis: I'm still of the opinion that most covers are inferior to the original. I await your comments....
	4:17pm Irwin: Trumpeter Marcus Belgrave wrote this tune.
	👻 4:17pm chris in the redwoods: i have not done the statistical analysis, francis. my gut feeling is that i have appreciated a great many covers just as much or even more than the original. then there's the edge cases, where an unreleased version is, technically, the original, but a released version is known more widely as the original (i.e. Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U vs Sinead's version). in sum, i love covers something fierce. :)
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @francis: I would say that's a blanket Statement. Which might be appropriate re Covers ...& shut ins pun of choice... One thing a good Cover may do is throw light on the Composition from a different angle. Which is worthy - but not necessarily better... Also only one thing it may do... Oh chris is beating me to this...
	4:18pm judy from croton: Sometimes they enrich, or expand. Sufjen Stevens' Ring Them Bells and Herbie Hancock and Tina Turner's Edith and the Kingpin come to mind
	4:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& it's often which you hear first. Aha... Only once have I 'written' something that a person with a more powerful voice sang. Don't know how people more accustomed to that ride feel - but I found it quite remarkable...
	4:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...TheWho for instance have been called a PeteTownshend coverband...
	4:23pm wind: Beautiful simply gorgeous
	4:23pm Dean: Just to complicate the cover-vs.-original discussion a bit: does a band's live performance of an earlier studio recording count as a cover? I think I prefer the Genesis Live versions of many of the songs that appeared on the band's earlier albums. And what about classical music? What isn't a cover? What was the original?
	4:25pm francis: Again the important qualifier was "most". Sure there are definitely some that are better, like Cash singing Hurt, but I find that even when I've heard the cover first, I'll still like the orig. Covers do have an advantage in that they have an updated sound, which can be appealing to the tastes which are current.
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but what %age ...Originals closer presumably to Source. Like Gershwin piano rolls... But some people how more powerful skills of interpretation. Conductors & Ensembles... Recordings unless spontaneous maybe just one Interpretation - & perhaps artificial or sterile @ that compared to Live. & often the Band / Artist themselves finds it 'opens up' more later ...so why not someone else doing the same for it?
	4:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Detroit Cobras did covers exclusively yeah ? & they were great. Recently noted people saying they prefer covers of Beatlesongs ...just when I was thinking how definitively TheBeatles covered others. They started as a hardworking club band of course... Few are those who don't do Covers. Any ?
	4:29pm francis: LOL - this Boytoy band sounds like the B52s covering the Dandy Warhols song Bohemian Like You
	👻 4:29pm rrg: I love covers. I don't feel the need to elaborate on that today. I've tasted enough biscuits.
	4:31pm Carmichael: Zawinul ... sweet.
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Take 'Kicking Against The Pricks' by NickCave & BadSeeds. All covers - & he's celebrated as a Writer. Just great.
	4:34pm BH: excited to hear that Tradio is in 90 minutes
	4:35pm Irwin: I don't think a cover of "Taste the Biscuit" could do justice to the original. Altho I understand Billy Ray Cyrus attempted it.
	4:36pm Dean: Amendola drumming here?
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Covers simply a different challenge than composing I suppose. Biscuit seems to have been done defintively yes. I can hear a super heavy growly interpretation...
	4:37pm Phillippe: @RR63 same with Three Dog Night, to different degrees
	👻 4:39pm chris in the redwoods: Shatner would do a kick-ass "Taste the Biscuit", though i feel we should insist Moose stay on the keys.
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or a tweaky convoluted Zappaesque Biscuit arrangement... @Phillippe: For instance Badfinger are marvelous, but their 'Without You' fails for just not hitting the note Nilsson can...
	4:40pm Phillippe: Curious note on the Three Dog Night wikipedia page: they've gone through 31 different members since their inception. 2 have died so far, but surprisingly neither was a drummer
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: i usually like the original better - but then there's Wilson Pickett's hey jude, and the beatles' rock & roll music, and both Aretha's and Mavis' the weight, and Harry Nilsson's without you, and big blood's planet caravan - well that one's close. . . but i always like hearing an original cover
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe that's interesting because their original 7 members didn't change at all the entire duration of their "hit-making" days
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jazz being often about Standards has just this challenge of Interpretation...
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a simple observation - & now thinking about Continuity & Innovation as an entire Cultural fundament...
	4:46pm Phillippe: @coel it's actually a pretty cool page if you like charts and graphs and tables and stuff. They've had 19 different lineups since the heydey. There's a nice looking Gannt-type chart that shows how the line-ups overlap graphically.
	4:47pm Irwin: This Supplicants track is a cover of an Alice Coltrane title. Good enough, francis?
	👻 4:49pm 12539: Irwin! That is all.
	4:49pm Dean: Almost read "cover of an Alice Cooper title."
	4:50pm coelacanth∅: definitely have read that,Phillippe, though i may not be accessing it all in my memory bamks. 3 dog night was my main when i was ~8 years old. i still consider them excellent
	4:50pm Handy Haversack: Made it home, somehow. Yo, coela!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course AliceCooper doesn't get the cred he deserves as a Writer. Speaking of Zappa.
	👻 4:50pm chris in the redwoods: Dean, i almost read, "Ptah, El Dachshund"
	4:51pm Dean: Great name for a Wiener dog!
	4:51pm The Count of Al Dente: "Howdy y'all, y'all."
	4:51pm mark: hi, everybody. Late arrival, but I'll catch the rest on the archive.
	4:53pm Feldy: Is Karen a much older name than I realize?
	👻 4:54pm G: Been super busy during the show. But listening. Not disseminating unwisdom. :-)
	👻 4:56pm Listening Out There: I'm part time, but looking for FTE....
	4:56pm chresti: Get me your supervisor now! HAHA
	4:56pm The Count of Al Dente: Why go see a Russian movie with subtitles when you can stay at home and stream the American version of Solaris with John Travolta?
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: Dean i never thought of a live version by the original artist as a cover, but technically i guess it's so. ...i very rarely like a live version better -but again, exceptions exist
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a second take woulda lost the feel...
	4:58pm Carmichael: You never had that person at the tennis courts, chresti?
	4:58pm ironybread: Those last two tracks are a 100% match of my mood today, thanks
	5:00pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	5:00pm Dean: @coelacanth∅: I once felt that way, too, but lately I've been finding many live albums more enjoyable than the canned ones.
	👻 5:00pm Karl Ward: Prague?
	👻 5:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Every song comes from Prague, in the Czech Republic? Cool!
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wait - MANDL - for real ?! ...I can't tell when you're ...how do I know if...
	5:02pm Handy Haversack: It's go time! MANDLPROG! MANDLPROG! MANDLPROG! (Yeah, not getting that out of my system any time soon.)
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cause perfect Program name.
	5:02pm Irwin: It's just been added to the schedule.
	5:03pm Phillip: Blessing in disguise. Dave Mandl returning to the airwaves even for just an hour.
	5:03pm chresti: Yeah PRAGUE!ROCK!
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: :D
	👻 5:03pm Karl Ward: www.wfmu.org...
	5:03pm Phillip: For many many sundays I’d tune into hear “world of echo”
	5:03pm coelacanth∅: i'm PSYCHED, but is it good prog, or genesis?! (or post-red kc...)
	5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cream ftw
	👻 5:04pm Karl Ward: coelacanth∅ said it first
	5:04pm brainiac: I'd call Cream prog-adjacent
	5:05pm Irwin: I'd concur, Brain.
	👻 5:05pm Karl Ward: Handy and others know about my serious and very real medical condition of prog blindness
	5:05pm Dean: Bah, Genesis was a good band through Lamb, at least. A little pompous, but c'mon, that's part of the point.
	5:05pm Irwin: With Cream, often there is math.
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is deep roots.
	👻 5:06pm βrian: Like "proggish?"
	5:06pm Carmichael: Pompous and prog often compliment one another.
	👻 5:06pm Listening Out There: "White Room" is singular...
	5:06pm wind: I never knew genesis is Prague rock 😂
	5:06pm Dean: I'm reading a book of poetry by an acquaintance. Here's a brief passage: Steppenwolf Big Brother Cream
	5:06pm Irwin: I always describe the band Bent Knee as "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" with a better singer.
	5:07pm Carmichael: I consider Genesis proggy until Gabriel left. Then they took the bus to Hitsville.
	5:07pm coelacanth∅: Dean one exception goes back to probably the first live album i ever heard, creatively called "live album", by grand funk railroad. GREAT album and by far the best grand funk. ...and i often don't like the watered-downness of studio recordings; but often the live performances area compromises from the initial idea the composer had for the piece.
	5:07pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: So many great streams today....
	👻 5:08pm βrian: The last time I saw Steppenwolf was on a bar parking lot events sign in Flint, Michigan.
	👻 5:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ginger Baker going to town here.
	5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Coming exactly between TheWho & Hendrix - Cream get left off the shortlists now. But I was as into their records as a little kid as much as anybody's is the truth of it.
	5:08pm Dean: I adored Peter Gabriel until my love waned. That's just the fickleness of human admiration. There are "live" albums and "live" albums. Warren Dewey, who engineered Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus told me how he spent time with Lowell in the studio redoing the solos.
	5:09pm wind: As long as he doesn’t play emo !
	5:09pm Carmichael: Felix Pappalardi on keys back there.
	5:10pm Feldy: Yes! Phoenix' own Andrew Jackson Jihad
	👻 5:10pm βrian: … on Dort Highway, to be exact.
	5:10pm Dean: Little drop-out in the stream a moment ago. Something by his mom?
	5:10pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, Irwin and Irwinners! Moving on to the productive part of the day!
	5:11pm Feldy: Serendipitously, I was revisiting this one and their "Issue Problems" albums a week ago
	5:11pm Dean: ^about his mom?
	5:11pm Irwin: Dean: Technical glitch, "of sorts."
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: i love Gabriel's first 4 (5?) solo albums; but still only consider early genesis "pretty good". wind & wuthering -barely a prog album, is my favorite genesis album.
	5:12pm Dean: Fave Genesis album is probably Selling England. It's certainly the one most played in my experience.
	5:13pm Handy Haversack: Yup, there it is. www.wfmu.org...
	5:14pm Carmichael: From Genesis to Revelation. Certainly mysterioso prog.
	5:14pm PaulRobeson1922: The opening of the previous song sounded like “Fantastic Piece of Architecture"
	5:15pm Handy Haversack: I'm just assuming that my gateway prog will not be featured. Marillion rarely makes the cut.
	5:15pm Dean: Best Genesis album that has in fact nothing to do with Genesis is to my ear Acqua Fragile's first album.
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Had the impression the early Genesis was like KingCrimson before reaching puberty. Which is not necessarily terrible...
	5:15pm Dean: Nor does IQ, Handy.
	5:16pm Irwin: FYI: The prog show actually launches next Monday, but Ken will host the first ep. Mandl begins his weekly stint Oct. 24.
	5:17pm brainiac: I can't believe they're allowing Ken back in the new schedule
	5:17pm Dean: Nor Barclay James Harvest. Real pity.
	5:17pm Irwin: Right?
	👻 5:17pm βrian: Is the show titled ProgGnosis?
	5:17pm Carmichael: What's not proggy about Marillion? Is it the Fish v. Hogarth feud?
	👻 5:18pm Listening Out There: Znort...
	5:18pm Irwin: "Mr. Walker" is a Mighty Sparrow cover.
	5:18pm Dean: Show is called Tales from Topographic Freeform
	5:18pm brainiac: @βrian: Why don't they consult you about these things in advance?
	5:18pm Carmichael: HipGnosis was already taken.
	5:19pm Dean: I mean Mandl Lies Down on Broadway
	5:19pm Handy Haversack: I think people just don't like them, Carm. But they were one of the first bands I ever got into, and I maintain quite a number of soft spots. Julie even played "Grendel" at my request in an "epic songs" hour!
	5:19pm HyperDose: Love to see Mr. Walker's daughter
	5:19pm Dean: Wait. Twentieth Century Schizoid Mandl. Yeah, that's it.
	👻 5:20pm G: Marillion is counted as prog in any book about prog.
	5:20pm coelacanth∅: Dave's tongue in aspic?
	5:21pm Annette: Nice song
	5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - any blasé feelings about Schedule Changes somewhat ameliorated by the Return of Mandl ...just this moment anyhow.
	5:21pm Handy Haversack: How do I redeem all the Prog Points I accumulated by playing in a Court of the Crimson King-themed D&D[ish] adventure at an actual D&D[ish] convention in a former Playboy Club in the town where D&D was invented. I mean, it's a lot.
	5:22pm Dean: A bunch of my friends who were (and remain) heavy into prog were elated at the arrival of Marillion.
	5:23pm Carmichael: My favorite prog band name thus far is Spock's Beard.
	5:24pm Dean: Il Balletto di Bronzo, my favorite.
	5:26pm coelacanth∅: Moe Moe Moe, how do you like it how do you like it?
	5:26pm HyperDose: @Irwin Have you heard Juliet's first hardcore song? Think you'd dig it www.youtube.com...
	👻 5:27pm DjLorraine: I love the poodle.
	5:27pm PaulRobeson1922: Whoa whoa whoa good chimp, groovy chimp
	5:27pm brainiac: @Handy, You've been to Wisconsin? My respect just continues to grow.
	5:27pm Irwin: Hyper: Yes, I've aired it.
	5:27pm Mr. Jackpots: great song!
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not entirely sure Stipe swings your way dear. Good sense of dynamics tho. You'll be fronting bands in no time.
	5:29pm coelacanth∅: not familiar with medicine but this reminds me of jesus & mary chain
	5:29pm HyperDose: That makes me so happy to hear, Irwin :)
	5:30pm brainiac: There's a really good song on this album...
	5:30pm SeaCreature: Been recording faux King Crimson songs because I wanted to hear new KC. So bring that prog.
	👻 5:31pm DjLorraine: I thought it was detective
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wigkeypedo says Stipe goes both ways - you go go Joan !
	5:35pm PaulRobeson1922: @RevRabbit: Was it Leary who said all people are born that way? The Ancient Greeks?
	5:36pm coelacanth∅: (being a direct descendant of classical music prog isn't always complicated)
	5:36pm brainiac: I think it was Gaga
	5:36pm coelacanth∅: haha
	5:37pm Phillippe: I think "Monkeyshines" woulda been a better name for this record
	5:37pm PaulRobeson1922: @brainiac: yes but Leary said it 1st and before him, The Greek
	5:37pm jan: Irwin: today’s broadcast helps make my hospital stay much more tolerable. That and a diagnosis turning out to be not serious. Gus was good for some levity, too.
	5:38pm Dean: Compare Adrienne Rich on compulsory heterosexuality and Kenneth Dover on Greek homosexuality.
	5:38pm PaulRobeson1922: Aw heck. True love can only exist between two men we all know it’s true. Have you ever played team sports!
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well clearly some are 'born that way'. Kinda respect Stipe for resisting checking any boxes on demand.
	5:40pm Dean: I was born one way or another, but I'm willing to make an effort to change if the price is right.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in fact anyone who tries to put 'normal' & 'sexuality' into the same sentence is immediately suspect to me...
	5:41pm Irwin: "Blue" is a Jayhawks cover.
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & ye harm none do as thou wilt. HBD Aleister Crowley
	5:42pm Phillippe: I'll stick with the original on this one
	5:42pm Carmichael: I remember in the movie Stripes where the Army recruiter asks if Murray and Ramis are homosexuals. Ramis responds, "No, but we're willing to learn."
	5:42pm PaulRobeson1922: Let me get the Nixon encyclopedia out and find the quote on Plato
	👻 5:43pm rrg: Beth's voice is unmistakable. I didn't even have to look.
	5:43pm JetBoy now of Astoria: @Carmichael - one of my favorite lines. RIP Harold.
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. A little like SusannahHoffs. Wonderful.
	5:44pm Tom from Stirling: Oh yeah, Jayhawks, they're good. Not prog, but still....
	5:45pm brainiac: Hey, @Carmichael: Mrs. brainiac ducked into Hilltop yesterday after work to see if you were there. Are you still on the wagon?
	5:45pm Dean: Well, there's "normal" as in bell curve normal and "normal" as in not f'd up, normative. It's the confusion of the two that does so much of the damage.
	5:46pm dale: hey now - really like this philip price tune. never heard of him.
	👻 5:47pm chris in the redwoods: same here, dale.
	5:47pm brainiac: Well spotted, RevRabNov63
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well, 'comparison is the enemy of joy' - but similar good qualities in that range.
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: Gotta feed the monsters. Thanks, Irwin! Later on, all. See you in Prague!
	5:51pm Carmichael: Afraid so, brainiac.
	5:52pm Dean: Joelle Leandre is playing not one, but two house concerts in the area this month, and I can't make either of them. But I did hear Myra Melford, Liberty Elmann, and Ben Goldberg free of charge last week.
	5:52pm PaulRobeson1922: Gay is OK
	5:52pm brainiac: @Carm: God bless you and keep you, sir
	5:55pm PaulRobeson1922: Such a, Fantastic Piece of Architecture
