	7:48pm peter: Oh I just meant the title was like.. “I love a jeans-wearer”
	7:49pm Gary: Oh, haha --
	7:49pm peter: Mia is Wife
	7:51pm peter: “Love my main wife, thinking of my ‘other wife’”
	7:52pm peter: “A Woman Like Me ALSO Has A Heart”
	🇰🇷 7:52pm WR: Hi Gary and Bodegans. Oh, oh, peter, that could lead to trouble.
	7:52pm Gary: Google has a ways to go what with its Translate feature
	7:52pm Gary: WR!
	8:00pm peter: That “I Love You” song is something about a mole, but I don’t quite understand
	8:01pm Gary: What?!? Could it be a take on Muskrat Love? haha
	8:02pm Gary: Or my love is deep as a mole hole?
	🇰🇷 8:03pm WR: Mike Hunchback of Brooklyn Record Exchange will be on Blah Blah Woof Woof with Fox tomorrow morning 3AM to 6 AM ET wfmu.org...
	8:04pm tim abdellah: Ya Salaam! Hi Gary and Friends!
	8:05pm Gary: Yes! Thank you, WR
	8:05pm Gary: Tim!
	8:05pm TDK60: This is great music..
	8:05pm Dean: I love you this (6.02214076×10^23) much?
	8:06pm Gary: Dean! haha
	8:07pm Dean: Gary, do you know (the work of) the poet Laura Moriarty? I did a presentation of her work at last night's poetry writing workshop.
	8:08pm Gary: Yes, of course! I know her, but not super-well. That's great you did that!
	8:09pm Dean: Cool! I do know her. She lives up the road a bit with her spouse, a former colleague at Cal. His brother is Kit Robinson. I enjoy her poetry quite a bit.
	8:10pm Gary: Kit! He actually used to listen to my fill-in reggae show a couple of years back. They're all terrific poets
	8:11pm Dean: Oh, yes, and there are many of them. I was skimming Silliman's In the American Tree and Messerli's two anthologies a couple days ago. Quite a creative force.
	8:14pm Gary: Indeed!
	8:16pm Jill B.: Hi Gary, Tuning in a bit late......better late than never!
	8:17pm Gary: I was part of a crew that included Dan Davidson, George Albon, Colleen Lookingbill, Jordan Zorker, Spencer Selby, John McNally, and a few others
	8:18pm Gary: Hi Mom!
	🇰🇷 8:21pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Hey. In the middle of after work dinner cooking etc but wanted to drop in and say that this set is amazing.
	8:21pm Dean: So noted! I will explore. I'm reading Justus George Lawler's Celestial Pantomime: Poetic Structures of Transcendence, far afield from L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E and all. Lawler's an eccentric character, but the book is helpful for a writer willing to translate critical observations to practice.
	8:21pm Gary: Threemoons!
	8:22pm Gary: Dan, Colleen, and Spencer have all passed away, unfortunately. George is still alive and lives in San Francisco. Wonderful person & poet. Used to work at Green Apple, but I think he retired
	8:23pm Dean: Laura retired two or three years ago from Small Press Distribution.
	8:24pm Gary: George was largely responsible for getting me to read poetry -- he sold me a copy of Ted Berrigan & co.'s Bean Spasms before I had read any poetry and told me I'd love it. It was $30, a huge sum for me in the 1980s, but I bought it and loved it and it (and George) changed my life. We worked together at Tower Records, where we met in like 1987-88
	8:31pm doctorjazz: Sharp Left, Hold On..
	🇰🇷 8:31pm WR: I don't remember "Hit Me..." having the global focus. Guess I was just dancing and not paying attention in 1978.
	8:31pm Dean: That is fantastic. Now I need to put my hands on the Berrigan. I've always enjoyed poetry, but a turning point for me was when John Ashbery appeared on the Mike Douglas Show(!!!). I didn't see the episode, but my mom did, and she got a kick out of his one-liners in As We Know, which he read (on television!!!). I bought it for her and was henceforth drawn to difficult wordplay, Ashbery's in particular. But I also have fairly strict conservative tastes in poetry.
	8:34pm Gary: WR, I am convinced that that version of Hit Me is NOT the one I used to listen to as a kid -- but it has been so long since I originally heard it, I can't be sure
	8:34pm Dean: Buddy in library school at UCLA, late '80s, got me into Scalapino, MacLow, Bernstein, Coolidge, etc.
	8:35pm Gary: Coolidge's Solution Passage is my favorite poetry book of the late 20th century
	8:35pm Dean: Adding to want list...
	8:36pm Gary: Also look up p. inman (aka Peter Inman) -- my favorite of the language writing world, but east coast
	8:38pm Dean: I get a kick out of The Rova Improvisations, perhaps for obvious reasons. Hmmm, Inman rings more than a bell... I have a beloved copy of the 1969 Koch When the Sun Tries to Go On, Black Sparrow. I can't read it without laughing until I cry.
	8:39pm Dean: Illus., Larry Rivers.
	8:39pm Gary: Do you know the story behind Sun Tries to Go On?
	8:40pm Dean: Nope. Do tell.
	8:40pm northguineahills: been here, ....
	8:42pm Gary: Frank O'Hara and Kenneth Koch challenged each other to write the longest poem: Koch wrote When the Sun Tries to Go On and O'Hara wrote Second Avenue, I think.
	8:42pm Gary: NGH!
	8:42pm tim abdellah: Damn! Lady B brings it!
	8:42pm Gary: Although I just googled it and found this quote from Koch, which tells a slightly different story: “Frank said to me, on seeing the first 72 lines [of When the Sun Tries to Go On] — which I regarded as a poem by itself — ‘Why don’t you go on with it as long as you can?’ Frank at this time decided to write a long poem too…”
	8:43pm Dean: A contest. Splendid. We discussed O'Hara's "Ave Maria" last night.
	8:43pm Dean: So, not a contest, but ordinary inspiration and anxiety of influence. Even better!
	8:44pm Zipperhead7: Hi Gary and Bodegans! An exciting day today. Took a friend to Monticello NY to visit his boyhood home and got chased by a man wielding a pitchfork
	8:44pm Gary: Damn, Mr. Zip!
	8:45pm Dean: Beware men wielding pitchforks. Or embrace them. But perhaps not literally?
	8:56pm doctorjazz: Spent summers in Monticello and towns in the area, managed to avoid pitchforks, though (thankfully).
	9:05pm Mr. Jackpots: Hi Gary, I really enjoyed last week's Stereolab show. I didn't know they released those demos. Was cool to hear.
	9:06pm Gary: Mr. Jackpots! Great, so glad you got to hear that!
	9:10pm Zipperhead7: Monticello looked pretty down at the heels. All the big Catskills resorts are long gone.
	🇰🇷 9:11pm chresti: Zipperhead. on the property or on the street? That's wild!
	9:16pm tim abdellah: This is pretty weird!
	9:16pm Gary: From the great EM Records in Japan!
	9:17pm tim abdellah: I went to see a Japanese band last night called Otoboke Beaver. They're super great!
	9:18pm northguineahills: I've stopped to get beer in monticello while camping near liberty about a 8 years ago...
	9:20pm zzz: loooooove the agadez/tuareg guitar shredders
	9:20pm Gary: Tim, I've heard of them, I think, but I can't remember what they do
	9:20pm Gary: ZZZ!
	9:23pm tim abdellah: Pretty inventive punk. I've been listening to this song for months, and it still cracks me up: www.youtube.com...
	9:24pm Dean: I'll guess I have encountered P. Inman's work in Paul Hoover's series of New American Writing, stacks of which I have here.
	9:25pm Gary: Oh, nice, Tim -- I'll give it a listen after the show
	9:27pm Jill B.: Gary, is the show this evening done with 45's?
	9:27pm Gary: Yes, mom -- they're all 45s that I digitized
	9:28pm TDK60: I appreciate the DJs keeping things steady, from my unsteady perch here at the cassette castle.
	9:28pm Gary: Mom, I started this blog a few weeks ago, where you can listen to a bunch of what I've got from the Arabic-speaking world. I update it every few days: arabicsinglesgoingsteady.blogspot.com
	9:29pm Jill B.: Well, as usual, your selection of music is incredible.
	9:30pm Jill B.: I'll check out your new blog.
	9:35pm tim abdellah: ☺️ Tachelhit
	🇰🇷 9:38pm WR: Ha, I split my donation between so many hosts that each is just getting only small change credited to their goal.
	9:40pm Gary: It's deeply appreciated, WR -- thank you!
	9:43pm TDK60: I must away; tired. Gracias, Gary! See you radio bathers in the streams..
	9:43pm Gary: Kids! La musica la musica continues at 10 pm with Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: "Leader of the Self-Proclaimed Visceral Horse" wfmu.org...
	9:44pm Gary: Happy Trails and lovely to see you tonight, TDK!
	🇰🇷 9:44pm chresti: See you later, TDK60\\//
	9:44pm zzz: these tracks are wild. feel like sonkor reminded me of like a bizarro disney story lp from the 60s or something
	9:45pm TDK60: noche, chresti.
	9:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks Gary!
	9:51pm tim abdellah: Wow - what a crazy Ramadan record!
	9:54pm Parq: Just catching the last 40 minutes or so, but digging your take on Singles Going Steady Week, Gary.
	9:54pm Zipperhead7: It was on the property. At least he didn't have a shotgun filled with rock salt or worse!
	9:54pm Gary: Parq!
	9:56pm northguineahills: @Zipperhead: shotgun w/ saltrock is southern redneck territory (been shot at w/ saltrock many times as a kid riding my bike through rednecks' property and hunting blinds...
	9:59pm zzz: thanks Gary
	9:59pm Jill B.: Thank you for a great evening!
	10:00pm tim abdellah: Thanks Gary! Goodnite all!
	🇰🇷 10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	10:00pm Gary: Night everyone!
	🇰🇷 10:03pm WR: Laters. Thank you! Gary!
	11:19am Little Danny: this was a GREAT show Gary that Abdallah Ben Driss really caught my ear, thanks!

	8:38pm Dean: I get a kick out of The Rova Improvisations, perhaps for obvious reasons. Hmmm, Inman rings more than a bell... I have a beloved copy of the 1969 Koch When the Sun Tries to Go On, Black Sparrow. I can't read it without laughing until I cry.
	8:39pm Dean: Illus., Larry Rivers.
	8:39pm Gary: Do you know the story behind Sun Tries to Go On?
	8:40pm Dean: Nope. Do tell.
	8:40pm northguineahills: been here, ....
	8:42pm Gary: Frank O'Hara and Kenneth Koch challenged each other to write the longest poem: Koch wrote When the Sun Tries to Go On and O'Hara wrote Second Avenue, I think.
	8:42pm Gary: NGH!
	8:42pm tim abdellah: Damn! Lady B brings it!
	8:42pm Gary: Although I just googled it and found this quote from Koch, which tells a slightly different story: “Frank said to me, on seeing the first 72 lines [of When the Sun Tries to Go On] — which I regarded as a poem by itself — ‘Why don’t you go on with it as long as you can?’ Frank at this time decided to write a long poem too…”
	8:43pm Dean: A contest. Splendid. We discussed O'Hara's "Ave Maria" last night.
	8:43pm Dean: So, not a contest, but ordinary inspiration and anxiety of influence. Even better!
	8:44pm Zipperhead7: Hi Gary and Bodegans! An exciting day today. Took a friend to Monticello NY to visit his boyhood home and got chased by a man wielding a pitchfork
	8:44pm Gary: Damn, Mr. Zip!
	8:45pm Dean: Beware men wielding pitchforks. Or embrace them. But perhaps not literally?
	8:56pm doctorjazz: Spent summers in Monticello and towns in the area, managed to avoid pitchforks, though (thankfully).
	9:05pm Mr. Jackpots: Hi Gary, I really enjoyed last week's Stereolab show. I didn't know they released those demos. Was cool to hear.
	9:06pm Gary: Mr. Jackpots! Great, so glad you got to hear that!
	9:10pm Zipperhead7: Monticello looked pretty down at the heels. All the big Catskills resorts are long gone.
	🇰🇷 9:11pm chresti: Zipperhead. on the property or on the street? That's wild!
	9:16pm tim abdellah: This is pretty weird!
	9:16pm Gary: From the great EM Records in Japan!
	9:17pm tim abdellah: I went to see a Japanese band last night called Otoboke Beaver. They're super great!
	9:18pm northguineahills: I've stopped to get beer in monticello while camping near liberty about a 8 years ago...
	9:20pm zzz: loooooove the agadez/tuareg guitar shredders
	9:20pm Gary: Tim, I've heard of them, I think, but I can't remember what they do
	9:20pm Gary: ZZZ!
	9:23pm tim abdellah: Pretty inventive punk. I've been listening to this song for months, and it still cracks me up: www.youtube.com...
	9:24pm Dean: I'll guess I have encountered P. Inman's work in Paul Hoover's series of New American Writing, stacks of which I have here.
	9:25pm Gary: Oh, nice, Tim -- I'll give it a listen after the show
	9:27pm Jill B.: Gary, is the show this evening done with 45's?
	9:27pm Gary: Yes, mom -- they're all 45s that I digitized
	9:28pm TDK60: I appreciate the DJs keeping things steady, from my unsteady perch here at the cassette castle.
	9:28pm Gary: Mom, I started this blog a few weeks ago, where you can listen to a bunch of what I've got from the Arabic-speaking world. I update it every few days: arabicsinglesgoingsteady.blogspot.com
	9:29pm Jill B.: Well, as usual, your selection of music is incredible.

	9:44pm zzz: these tracks are wild. feel like sonkor reminded me of like a bizarro disney story lp from the 60s or something
	9:45pm TDK60: noche, chresti.
	9:48pm doctorjazz: Thanks Gary!
	9:51pm tim abdellah: Wow - what a crazy Ramadan record!
	9:54pm Parq: Just catching the last 40 minutes or so, but digging your take on Singles Going Steady Week, Gary.
	9:54pm Zipperhead7: It was on the property. At least he didn't have a shotgun filled with rock salt or worse!
	9:54pm Gary: Parq!
	9:56pm northguineahills: @Zipperhead: shotgun w/ saltrock is southern redneck territory (been shot at w/ saltrock many times as a kid riding my bike through rednecks' property and hunting blinds...
	9:59pm zzz: thanks Gary
