	3:19pm berbo: Their wiki pages shows four different band line-ups just for 1976.
	3:19pm Irwin: ↳ Dean @3:18 Queues was their 2nd. They're both great. Maybe they made a third. I was distracted by punk at that point.
	3:21pm Leber_Eisness: Was Lara Croft actually DJing in the morning?
	3:21pm Dean: They did a tribute to original keyboard player, whose name escapes me. Also great. And at least a couple more recent sets of outtakes and live stuff.

	3:22pm Dean: Alan Gowen, duh.

	3:42pm HyperDose: When I left EFD was funking up my apartment. Come back and it would appear that Gus Bodenheim has hacked into the stream 😱
	3:44pm Irwin: Sorry, Gus and I seem to have chased away all EFD's listeners with dissonant jazzlike substitutes opening the program.
	3:45pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Irwin, HyperD, Ron, all!
	3:46pm Irwin: Hello, Jacques du Silbert.
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @3:44 ...I'm just here for the NPR Jazz & the grumpy non sequitur ...otherwise I get depraved on account of being deprived...

	4:02pm coelacanth∅: too much cheesy synth? too much autotune?

	4:05pm coelacanth∅: Irwin what about a shakuhachi? same opinion?
	4:06pm Irwin: ↳ berbo @4:00 Good Q, berb. Seen them 4x and they're one of the best live bands I've ever seen in my 27 years of life.

	4:09pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Mr. P! Irwin, Matching Outfits got another play this week. Was nice to hear.
	4:09pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: Which is your favorite cut from Van Dyke Parks' "Song Cycle"? This evening I will open and play my Xmas gift - coulda iTunesed it, but this album deserves its own physical media. Looking forward to it!
	4:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! I missed dungeoning this past week.
	4:11pm Mr. Pumpy: I like this. It has the Big Blood vibe I like so much. Retro, baby!
	4:12pm Handy Haversack: Had no idea what to do with myself on Sunday, Mr. P.
	4:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy - my Xmas got cancelled due to Covid coming down on my mother and step-dad. I was itching to game! I did line up some alternate plans, but still.
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: hey Mr. P!
	4:14pm simon&morphe': Bikes, photo by Nigel Henderson https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2002/apr/20/weekend.tomdyckhoff
	4:14pm Mr. Pumpy: yo, coel! Happy Holidays.
	👻 4:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin and all. Send an atmospheric river of sound! 🔉
	4:16pm Matt from Springfield: Uhhhhhhhhhhh...
	4:17pm Handy Haversack: Oof, hope they're on the mend, Mr. P. That sucks. We don't celebrate. I spent Sat. and Sun. getting the records organized and input to Discogs. Hey, Matt from S!
	4:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Shitty Day" by "Jack Ritch" This guy may be the latest incarnation of "Thomas Sings"!! Hi Handy!
	4:19pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi!
	4:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Shitty Day" by "Jack Ritch" Karaoke track and live percussion? Damn, accidentally un-clickied from starring it in June! This historical record is inaccurate!
	4:19pm Mr. Pumpy: This is amazing.
	4:20pm berbo: Many people are saying Jack Ritch is new Dylan.
	4:20pm coelacanth∅: finally able to catch all the lyrics i couldn't make out bvefore
	4:20pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:19 OOOF! Hate when that happens! I was the first to Star "Taste the Biscuit" here, but unclicked because it didn't show up at first!
	4:21pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I'm working on the records over here as well. Discogs is down the line. There are thousands...and they keep arriving, somehow! Uggghhhh...
	4:21pm Mr. Pumpy: And yes, it didn't hit them too hard, but it still messed up plans.
	4:21pm Monica: enjoying this afternoon's program, irwin.
	4:22pm Irwin: Is Jack Ritch in Discogs? Suspect not. Will someone check?
	4:22pm Irwin: 'Lo, Mo! Thanks for popping onto the boards.
	👻 4:22pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:22 Doesn't look like it.
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Irwin @4:22 Doesn't look like it, Irwin. www.discogs.com...
	4:23pm coelacanth∅: cataloguing records on discogs is a full-time job, if you want to be accurate ...and even then some control freak with no life will call you out on your punctuation
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:23 I was definitely in over my head.
	4:24pm Old Dave: I rode a Guzzi in the 80s and lived to tell somehow.
	4:25pm dave wuz here: had an eldorado lapd bike
	👻 4:25pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:23 I HATE the fact that Discogs' official and insisted-upon punctuation rules are in fact wrong for English titles. I don't bother contributing as a result. Yes, I'm that petty.
	4:25pm coelacanth∅: someone yesterday told me i "need to" specify that the first matrix variant is "variant 1" when i add a 2nd variant. as if that's not obvious. i shall ignore that person.
	4:26pm Old Dave: Eldorado as well, man that thing flew
	4:28pm dave wuz here: more motor than brakes or chassis 4 sure
	4:28pm Bob: I'm listing Discogs records right now. As I do most days. I've never found these rules to be an issue at all, after years of doing it. 1% are just going to be assholes, no matter what you do. More often than not they are Steely Dan record buyers.
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: rrg i completely agree. - to the point they wont accept the correct spelling of certain names. "WE MUST HAVE ORDER!"...even if it makes no sense... even if it's harder to understand... even if it's grammatically incorrect.
	4:29pm StringOFperils: Good afternoon, hinterland, at some far-lung recess in the universe, just look at you.
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ rrg @4:25 Without pettiness, what are we? A one-size-fits-all world would be too confining!
	4:29pm steveo: Hi Irwin. Sounding good. Hi everyone else. Listening well.
	4:29pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 **far-flung
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: and the insisting on listing label sides as "A","B" etc. is asinine. gets a bit cumbersome when you have an 18-record set and have to compute in your head what letter corresponds to what number.
	4:31pm Magenta: Slow and steady, just what I need for today.
	4:31pm Hoboken Jack: Hi there Handy and Humpday Bagpipe!
	4:33pm steveo: Just got my bivalent booster. Can still feel my face.
	4:34pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Jack! steveo, now we can all feel your face. Welcome to the Bivalent Hivemind.
	4:35pm simon&morphe': Been looking(web) just now for an old Rodchenko photo of a lone cyclist crossing a Russian Square taken from above .. Have a poem i set next to it lost somewhere. great bike photo.. Mayakovsky is in the poem and shows up in all the searches too ... Sadly canna' remember the words of my poem... Here is Mayakovsky: VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY (1893-1930) Mayakovsky from “I” 1. On pavement stones Of my trampled soul Steps of madmen Plait soles of harsh words. Where the cities Are hung And in a cloud noose Stilled Crooked turrets Of towers I walk alone sobbing that on the crossroads are crucified the tsar's cops. 1913
	4:35pm StringOFperils: I came to save face, not to feel it
	4:35pm steveo: Thanks Handy. By the way, is this smooth? Feels pretty smooth to me
	4:39pm coelacanth∅: i saw a lone cyclist today on a unicycle. actually a bicycle with no front wheel. i witnessed 4-5 blocks of steady travel along route 9w before he was out of my sight.
	4:40pm WR: Irwin, you're dedicated enough to be there, I'm acknowledging that I am listening. Thank you for what you do.
	4:41pm WR: ↳ simon&morphe' @4:35 thank you for that.
	4:41pm simon&morphe': ps. Mayakovsky was a loyal commie but yet still fell afoul of Stalin and the - ists and the "writer's Guild" and shot himself dead ...
	4:42pm Magenta: The Old Codger returns!
	4:43pm radioronan: Courtney expired in Branson? What news/rumour is this?
	4:44pm Mr. Pumpy: What's the verdict? Is this Ken or what?
	4:44pm StringOFperils: I miss cruddy answering machine tapes
	4:45pm steveo: Sounds like the diarrhea lady to me
	4:46pm chresti: ↳ steveo @4:45 Or Edith from All In The Family
	4:46pm PaulRobeson1922: Vermint infested
	4:47pm Mr. Pumpy: String...check it! www.youtube.com...
	4:47pm Laura L: I wonder how Euneeda's holding up, holed up with Courtney on the road these many months!
	4:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Actually...here are all the Crazy Calls outgoing messages! www.youtube.com...
	4:49pm Listener Robert: Still scanning the utility poles and Pennysavers for when he might show up with his posse at a nearby venue. But the stack of Pennysavers doesn't seem to be up to date...or even there.
	4:50pm chresti: I see a new Golden Book-Life on the Road with the Old Codger..
	4:51pm Matt from Springfield: I still insist there's no record of Courtney's age (writing systems had yet to be developed then), but Branson officials could ban him under the maximum performing age rule, just by finding documentation of Courtney living in the earliest year that performers can list. Even then he was a crotchety old codger...
	4:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ chresti @4:50 A Pop-Up Book! Codger can stick his finger at the readers!
	4:52pm chresti: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:51 Yes!
	4:52pm Listener Robert: He's probably on one of my Little Golden Records 78s.
	👻 4:52pm Jennica: I have been working, but listening. I'm loving this listening time so very much - thank you, Irwin. x
	4:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy - Smell that jazz. Smell it, son!
	4:56pm Irwin: Hello, Jenn. I have it on good authority that Gus sends his love.
	4:56pm simon&morphe': Thanks Irwin and all !!!!!
	4:56pm Matt from Springfield: Skiffley ska, love it!
	4:58pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:56 It's actually a calypso hybrid called mento.
	4:59pm simon&morphe': ↳ Irwin @4:58 Mento is - has become T&T xmas-holiday music
	👻 4:59pm Jennica: Aw, thanks Irwin. Gotta love that Gus.
	5:01pm PaulRobeson1922: Vermint infested WFMU!!!
	5:03pm PaulRobeson1922: Cockroaches everywhere. In every bathroom and sink at all times of the day and night
	5:04pm D Rok: Are we getting any Anuc Atittawan in the last hour? That rendition of "Chersnurst Rothring Oln Ahn Ohpa Fai" was gold last week. (I too have now watched that video at least a dozen times)
	5:05pm Quinn02: I agree that song can be played anytime of the year
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ D Rok @5:04 I don't have any other songs by Anuc. Perhaps you can locate some on the web, which I understand is worldwide?
	5:11pm brainiac: Every time I hear this Boyd Rice number, I'm convinced the DJ is aiming it directly at their own listeners
	5:11pm Quinn02: Good song
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Shitty Day" by "Jack Ritch" It's all about parameters with mass murder.
	5:14pm JetBoy of Astoria: I enjoy this People song. I understand that more people are living right now than if you were to add up all the people who lived in the past but are dead.
	👻 5:14pm Alison Porchnik: ↳ brainiac @5:11 I certainly feel that way
	5:15pm StringOFperils: The holidays are never the same until you have Boyd over.
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Alison Porchnik @5:14 It makes for a creepier experience. Not just you hearing it, but another person "signing off" and making it part of their program.
	5:17pm StringOFperils: The roux will be out of phase.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @5:14 World population has more than doubled in my lifetime. Problem with zero population growth movements has been - yerknow - always those people who should not reproduce - not us. Eugenics & fascists - the worst. So ...not discussed so much.
	5:20pm Irwin: ↳ Alison Porchnik @5:14 I find that song invigorating. It maketh me smile.
	5:22pm D Rok: ↳ Irwin @5:05 He has his own channel on Youtube (www.youtube.com...). My partner particularly enjoyed of his rendition of How Deep Is Your Love (youtu.be...). He also has some songs in his native Thai, which have slightly less camp value. Slightly.
	5:23pm Fredericks: Kenny Wollesen is a wonderful drummer.
	5:23pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @5:20 It's 100% ceremonial cacao.
	5:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dusty Village" by "Ilhan Ersahin, Dave Harrington... Nice sounds for today - 1970s fusion?
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ Fredericks @5:23 Agreed. Saw him only once, I think backing Steven Bernstein. I was impressed.
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:24 This is brand new.
	5:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @5:24 Excellent! Def shows the legacy of the past half-century in prog/jazz fusion sounds.
	5:28pm Listener Robert: ↳ PaulRobeson1922 @5:03 Coming and going all day, slamming doors?
	5:34pm egould: Gamboled
	5:35pm PaulRobeson1922: ↳ Listener Robert @5:28 You know the day destroys the night, night divides the day
	5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gus goes Noir, a bit Beatnik too.
	5:36pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" Beautiful. I hear the Beat Generation in this poem.
	5:36pm Leif Ericson: I just tuned in....what song was recently played where the lyrics ask "where is Genghis Khan when you need him?"
	5:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" "So cantankerous you can't anchor us"!! :D
	5:37pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" "vast pumpkin patch we're all plugged into"- I feel this line.
	5:37pm Irwin: ↳ Leif Ericson @5:36 "People" by Boyd Rice
	5:37pm StringOFperils: Easterner varsity beatnik swell sees the best minds of his generation, hoodwinked by Ace Bittman
	5:38pm Leif Ericson: ↳ Irwin @5:37 Thanks!
	5:38pm coelacanth∅: hwy not gus. hwy not.
	5:38pm Asheville Jon: happy new year Gus!
	5:39pm G: Gus is even harsher than usual this week. Holiday spirit.
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" Couldn't Beat that with a stick. Tho I'll maybe stick to the Beats...
	5:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ StringOFperils @5:37 Finger snaps, man
	5:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ G @5:39 Holiday spirit(s), will do that to ya.
	5:41pm coelacanth∅: gus seems to be gradually becoming more disgusting -slurping and belching whilst prophetizing
	5:42pm Lyle: The Primitives. There's a name that brings back memories. As I recall, I was on the road with Wallace Winter (Johnny and Edgar's adopted brother) who was doing a series of UK dates backing up Timex Social Club. The Primitives joined up with us in Coventry for the middle leg of the tour. Wallace (a great bassist who was transitioning to the Chapman Stick at that time, and was definitely struggling with its complexity) opened up these shows, usually with an extended solo that often alienated the crowd. Eventually I would wander onstage to join him, playing piccolo trombone as Wallace had requested. A piccolo trombone is not easy to play with it’s extremely small mouthpiece and 6-inch slide. Between Wallace’s errant fingerings on his Chapman Stick and my tortured squeaks on the piccolo trombone, the Coventry crowd was having none of it. As I recall, it wasn’t long before we were pelted with hard candy, small rocks, etc.; whatever the quickly thinning crowd could get their hands on. The Primitives went on after us. Coventry being their hometown, they went over quite well. We could hear the fans cheering wildly as we sat dejected in our tiny dressing room. Timex Social Club were no fans of Wallace and tried to have us booted off the tour, but contractually we were safe and they could do nothing to have us removed, and so we soldiered on, getting boo’ed off every stage we graced, but believing in our hearts we were making art, and that art was not always understood. Soon enough, The Primitives were tired of us too, and demanded that we be thrown off the bill. This lead to an unsavory confrontation on the midway of a small carnival in Burford where Tracy Tracy of The Primitives slapped Wallace and caused him to fall in the mud. Many onlookers pointed and laughed, something that continues to haunt Wallace to this day. Many feel it was this incident that caused him to cancel our participation in the tour and give up music altogether. Fortunately, Eugene Chadbourne asked me to join his hendectet as a piccolo trombonist. As I recall, we did a short tour of South Korea before he grew tired of piccolo trombone sound and asked me to fly home. Despite my protestations and promises to switch to my Gemeinhardt standard trombone it was not enough. Dejected, I caught a midnight flight back to Atlanta from Pousan. The longest flight if my life. 30 hours. No peanuts, no coke. Just an old, angry steward with halitosis. A musician’s life is tough. Back in Atlanta, I hooked up with Wet Willy for a short tour of Natchez Trace watering holes. I never encountered The Primitives or Timex Social Club again, nor do I hope to.
	👻 5:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Lyle! Buddy!
	5:44pm coelacanth∅: Lyle's back!
	5:46pm Lyle: Good to see you old friends. It's been awhile. I've been out on the road with a Pat Suzuki tribute show. Good to be home and listening to Irwin and my favorite radio show again. Happy New Year!
	5:48pm Irwin: Lyle, your reminiscences are always welcome on my comments board. How're the memoirs coming along?
	5:48pm Matt from Springfield: Happy New Year Lyle! 'hendectet'! :)
	5:49pm brainiac: AKA the 'undectet'.
	5:49pm WR: ↳ Lyle @5:42 Cheers.
	👻 5:50pm βrian: ↳ Song: "All My Days" by "Alexi Murdoch" Contemporary, this?
	5:51pm JetBoy of Astoria: Wow, this is NOT Nick Drake. Hmm.
	5:51pm Carmichael: I berlieve it is ...
	5:52pm Irwin: ↳ βrian @5:50 2006
	5:52pm Asheville Jon: thanks Irwin! Have a safe and happy new year!
	5:52pm brainiac: 2013. Also, this is NOT a Dylan song.
	5:53pm neil quarantino: ↳ Song: "All My Days" by "Alexi Murdoch" Sounds very John Martyn-ish
	5:53pm Lyle: Thank you all for remembering me. Irwin, my stories of the road are limited to your playlists. Perhaps one day someone will gather them together in a proper collection. I feel most comfortable here, sharing my stories with your intelligent and art-sensitive listeners.
	5:53pm StringOFperils: This is nice. Reminds me of Bert Jansch
	5:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @5:51 Def reminds me of his sound! Alexi Murdoch (prob Scottish?) had albums out 20 years ago, not sure when this is from. I remember his "Orange Sky" from a "hit" commercial 16 years ago, the only track in my iTunes from him. This is quite good, I'll explore his other albums.
	5:53pm brainiac: 2006. I stand corrected. Thanks, Irwin.
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, Irwin. Enjoyed the enjoyable content! Content with joy. Happy New Year, all!
	5:54pm radioronan: Thanks, Irwin. New Year's Cheers, Bodenheims!
	5:54pm Lyle: This Murdoch is reminding me of my short time with Livingston Taylor. A tale for another day. Happy New Year Irwinners!
	5:55pm JetBoy of Astoria: Another show nearly in the books. The electronic books that is. Very enjoyable as always, thank you Irwin.
	👻 5:55pm Jennica: Thanks, Irwin. Happy New Year, Irwin, Gus, Lyle, rrg, LL, Handy, brainiac, Matt from S, all. x
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: Great to see you, Jennica!

	5:56pm Irwin: Thanks to all for listening throughout the year. Fully intending to hang around for another. See you on the flip.
	5:56pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Great show
	5:56pm Matt from Springfield: +Jennica! :) To a wonderful 2023!!
	5:56pm Irwin: I might see Gus Bodenheim tomorrow at a soiree. I will tell him how much he is admired, adored, and occasionally reviled.
	👻 5:57pm βrian: 2006 was 20 minutes ago, as far as I'm concerned.
	5:57pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Happy your back on the FMU airwaves
	5:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @5:56 And when he's really at it, all at the same time!!
	5:57pm Magenta: ↳ Irwin @5:56 I love listening to this program! Great accompaniment to the workday!

	3:19pm berbo: Their wiki pages shows four different band line-ups just for 1976.

	3:42pm HyperDose: When I left EFD was funking up my apartment. Come back and it would appear that Gus Bodenheim has hacked into the stream 😱
	3:44pm Irwin: Sorry, Gus and I seem to have chased away all EFD's listeners with dissonant jazzlike substitutes opening the program.
	3:45pm Hoboken Jack: Hello Irwin, HyperD, Ron, all!
	3:46pm Irwin: Hello, Jacques du Silbert.
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @3:44 ...I'm just here for the NPR Jazz & the grumpy non sequitur ...otherwise I get depraved on account of being deprived...

	4:09pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Mr. P! Irwin, Matching Outfits got another play this week. Was nice to hear.
	4:09pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: Which is your favorite cut from Van Dyke Parks' "Song Cycle"? This evening I will open and play my Xmas gift - coulda iTunesed it, but this album deserves its own physical media. Looking forward to it!
	4:10pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! I missed dungeoning this past week.
	4:11pm Mr. Pumpy: I like this. It has the Big Blood vibe I like so much. Retro, baby!
	4:12pm Handy Haversack: Had no idea what to do with myself on Sunday, Mr. P.
	4:14pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy - my Xmas got cancelled due to Covid coming down on my mother and step-dad. I was itching to game! I did line up some alternate plans, but still.
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: hey Mr. P!

	4:14pm Mr. Pumpy: yo, coel! Happy Holidays.
	👻 4:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Irwin and all. Send an atmospheric river of sound! 🔉
	4:16pm Matt from Springfield: Uhhhhhhhhhhh...
	4:17pm Handy Haversack: Oof, hope they're on the mend, Mr. P. That sucks. We don't celebrate. I spent Sat. and Sun. getting the records organized and input to Discogs. Hey, Matt from S!
	4:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Shitty Day" by "Jack Ritch" This guy may be the latest incarnation of "Thomas Sings"!! Hi Handy!
	4:19pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi!
	4:19pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Shitty Day" by "Jack Ritch" Karaoke track and live percussion? Damn, accidentally un-clickied from starring it in June! This historical record is inaccurate!
	4:19pm Mr. Pumpy: This is amazing.
	4:20pm berbo: Many people are saying Jack Ritch is new Dylan.
	4:20pm coelacanth∅: finally able to catch all the lyrics i couldn't make out bvefore
	4:20pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:19 OOOF! Hate when that happens! I was the first to Star "Taste the Biscuit" here, but unclicked because it didn't show up at first!
	4:21pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy, I'm working on the records over here as well. Discogs is down the line. There are thousands...and they keep arriving, somehow! Uggghhhh...
	4:21pm Mr. Pumpy: And yes, it didn't hit them too hard, but it still messed up plans.
	4:21pm Monica: enjoying this afternoon's program, irwin.
	4:22pm Irwin: Is Jack Ritch in Discogs? Suspect not. Will someone check?
	4:22pm Irwin: 'Lo, Mo! Thanks for popping onto the boards.
	👻 4:22pm rrg: ↳ Irwin @4:22 Doesn't look like it.
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Irwin @4:22 Doesn't look like it, Irwin. www.discogs.com...
	4:23pm coelacanth∅: cataloguing records on discogs is a full-time job, if you want to be accurate ...and even then some control freak with no life will call you out on your punctuation
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:23 I was definitely in over my head.
	4:24pm Old Dave: I rode a Guzzi in the 80s and lived to tell somehow.
	4:25pm dave wuz here: had an eldorado lapd bike
	👻 4:25pm rrg: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:23 I HATE the fact that Discogs' official and insisted-upon punctuation rules are in fact wrong for English titles. I don't bother contributing as a result. Yes, I'm that petty.
	4:25pm coelacanth∅: someone yesterday told me i "need to" specify that the first matrix variant is "variant 1" when i add a 2nd variant. as if that's not obvious. i shall ignore that person.
	4:26pm Old Dave: Eldorado as well, man that thing flew
	4:28pm dave wuz here: more motor than brakes or chassis 4 sure
	4:28pm Bob: I'm listing Discogs records right now. As I do most days. I've never found these rules to be an issue at all, after years of doing it. 1% are just going to be assholes, no matter what you do. More often than not they are Steely Dan record buyers.
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: rrg i completely agree. - to the point they wont accept the correct spelling of certain names. "WE MUST HAVE ORDER!"...even if it makes no sense... even if it's harder to understand... even if it's grammatically incorrect.
	4:29pm StringOFperils: Good afternoon, hinterland, at some far-lung recess in the universe, just look at you.
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ rrg @4:25 Without pettiness, what are we? A one-size-fits-all world would be too confining!
	4:29pm steveo: Hi Irwin. Sounding good. Hi everyone else. Listening well.
	4:29pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @4:29 **far-flung
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: and the insisting on listing label sides as "A","B" etc. is asinine. gets a bit cumbersome when you have an 18-record set and have to compute in your head what letter corresponds to what number.
	4:31pm Magenta: Slow and steady, just what I need for today.
	4:31pm Hoboken Jack: Hi there Handy and Humpday Bagpipe!
	4:33pm steveo: Just got my bivalent booster. Can still feel my face.
	4:34pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, Jack! steveo, now we can all feel your face. Welcome to the Bivalent Hivemind.
	4:35pm simon&morphe': Been looking(web) just now for an old Rodchenko photo of a lone cyclist crossing a Russian Square taken from above .. Have a poem i set next to it lost somewhere. great bike photo.. Mayakovsky is in the poem and shows up in all the searches too ... Sadly canna' remember the words of my poem... Here is Mayakovsky: VLADIMIR MAYAKOVSKY (1893-1930) Mayakovsky from “I” 1. On pavement stones Of my trampled soul Steps of madmen Plait soles of harsh words. Where the cities Are hung And in a cloud noose Stilled Crooked turrets Of towers I walk alone sobbing that on the crossroads are crucified the tsar's cops. 1913
	4:35pm StringOFperils: I came to save face, not to feel it
	4:35pm steveo: Thanks Handy. By the way, is this smooth? Feels pretty smooth to me
	4:39pm coelacanth∅: i saw a lone cyclist today on a unicycle. actually a bicycle with no front wheel. i witnessed 4-5 blocks of steady travel along route 9w before he was out of my sight.
	4:40pm WR: Irwin, you're dedicated enough to be there, I'm acknowledging that I am listening. Thank you for what you do.
	4:41pm WR: ↳ simon&morphe' @4:35 thank you for that.
	4:41pm simon&morphe': ps. Mayakovsky was a loyal commie but yet still fell afoul of Stalin and the - ists and the "writer's Guild" and shot himself dead ...
	4:42pm Magenta: The Old Codger returns!
	4:43pm radioronan: Courtney expired in Branson? What news/rumour is this?
	4:44pm Mr. Pumpy: What's the verdict? Is this Ken or what?
	4:44pm StringOFperils: I miss cruddy answering machine tapes
	4:45pm steveo: Sounds like the diarrhea lady to me
	4:46pm chresti: ↳ steveo @4:45 Or Edith from All In The Family
	4:46pm PaulRobeson1922: Vermint infested
	4:47pm Mr. Pumpy: String...check it! www.youtube.com...
	4:47pm Laura L: I wonder how Euneeda's holding up, holed up with Courtney on the road these many months!
	4:49pm Mr. Pumpy: Actually...here are all the Crazy Calls outgoing messages! www.youtube.com...
	4:49pm Listener Robert: Still scanning the utility poles and Pennysavers for when he might show up with his posse at a nearby venue. But the stack of Pennysavers doesn't seem to be up to date...or even there.
	4:50pm chresti: I see a new Golden Book-Life on the Road with the Old Codger..
	4:51pm Matt from Springfield: I still insist there's no record of Courtney's age (writing systems had yet to be developed then), but Branson officials could ban him under the maximum performing age rule, just by finding documentation of Courtney living in the earliest year that performers can list. Even then he was a crotchety old codger...
	4:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ chresti @4:50 A Pop-Up Book! Codger can stick his finger at the readers!
	4:52pm chresti: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:51 Yes!
	4:52pm Listener Robert: He's probably on one of my Little Golden Records 78s.
	👻 4:52pm Jennica: I have been working, but listening. I'm loving this listening time so very much - thank you, Irwin. x
	4:54pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy - Smell that jazz. Smell it, son!
	4:56pm Irwin: Hello, Jenn. I have it on good authority that Gus sends his love.
	4:56pm simon&morphe': Thanks Irwin and all !!!!!
	4:56pm Matt from Springfield: Skiffley ska, love it!
	4:58pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:56 It's actually a calypso hybrid called mento.
	4:59pm simon&morphe': ↳ Irwin @4:58 Mento is - has become T&T xmas-holiday music
	👻 4:59pm Jennica: Aw, thanks Irwin. Gotta love that Gus.
	5:01pm PaulRobeson1922: Vermint infested WFMU!!!
	5:03pm PaulRobeson1922: Cockroaches everywhere. In every bathroom and sink at all times of the day and night
	5:04pm D Rok: Are we getting any Anuc Atittawan in the last hour? That rendition of "Chersnurst Rothring Oln Ahn Ohpa Fai" was gold last week. (I too have now watched that video at least a dozen times)
	5:05pm Quinn02: I agree that song can be played anytime of the year
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ D Rok @5:04 I don't have any other songs by Anuc. Perhaps you can locate some on the web, which I understand is worldwide?
	5:11pm brainiac: Every time I hear this Boyd Rice number, I'm convinced the DJ is aiming it directly at their own listeners
	5:11pm Quinn02: Good song
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Shitty Day" by "Jack Ritch" It's all about parameters with mass murder.
	5:14pm JetBoy of Astoria: I enjoy this People song. I understand that more people are living right now than if you were to add up all the people who lived in the past but are dead.
	👻 5:14pm Alison Porchnik: ↳ brainiac @5:11 I certainly feel that way
	5:15pm StringOFperils: The holidays are never the same until you have Boyd over.
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Alison Porchnik @5:14 It makes for a creepier experience. Not just you hearing it, but another person "signing off" and making it part of their program.
	5:17pm StringOFperils: The roux will be out of phase.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @5:14 World population has more than doubled in my lifetime. Problem with zero population growth movements has been - yerknow - always those people who should not reproduce - not us. Eugenics & fascists - the worst. So ...not discussed so much.
	5:20pm Irwin: ↳ Alison Porchnik @5:14 I find that song invigorating. It maketh me smile.
	5:22pm D Rok: ↳ Irwin @5:05 He has his own channel on Youtube (www.youtube.com...). My partner particularly enjoyed of his rendition of How Deep Is Your Love (youtu.be...). He also has some songs in his native Thai, which have slightly less camp value. Slightly.
	5:23pm Fredericks: Kenny Wollesen is a wonderful drummer.
	5:23pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @5:20 It's 100% ceremonial cacao.
	5:24pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dusty Village" by "Ilhan Ersahin, Dave Harrington... Nice sounds for today - 1970s fusion?
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ Fredericks @5:23 Agreed. Saw him only once, I think backing Steven Bernstein. I was impressed.
	5:24pm Irwin: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:24 This is brand new.
	5:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @5:24 Excellent! Def shows the legacy of the past half-century in prog/jazz fusion sounds.
	5:28pm Listener Robert: ↳ PaulRobeson1922 @5:03 Coming and going all day, slamming doors?
	5:34pm egould: Gamboled
	5:35pm PaulRobeson1922: ↳ Listener Robert @5:28 You know the day destroys the night, night divides the day
	5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gus goes Noir, a bit Beatnik too.
	5:36pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" Beautiful. I hear the Beat Generation in this poem.
	5:36pm Leif Ericson: I just tuned in....what song was recently played where the lyrics ask "where is Genghis Khan when you need him?"
	5:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" "So cantankerous you can't anchor us"!! :D
	5:37pm Magenta: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" "vast pumpkin patch we're all plugged into"- I feel this line.
	5:37pm Irwin: ↳ Leif Ericson @5:36 "People" by Boyd Rice
	5:37pm StringOFperils: Easterner varsity beatnik swell sees the best minds of his generation, hoodwinked by Ace Bittman
	5:38pm Leif Ericson: ↳ Irwin @5:37 Thanks!
	5:38pm coelacanth∅: hwy not gus. hwy not.
	5:38pm Asheville Jon: happy new year Gus!
	5:39pm G: Gus is even harsher than usual this week. Holiday spirit.
	5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Bittman, Semper Bittman (poem)" by "Gus Bodenheim" Couldn't Beat that with a stick. Tho I'll maybe stick to the Beats...
	5:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ StringOFperils @5:37 Finger snaps, man
	5:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ G @5:39 Holiday spirit(s), will do that to ya.
	5:41pm coelacanth∅: gus seems to be gradually becoming more disgusting -slurping and belching whilst prophetizing
	5:42pm Lyle: The Primitives. There's a name that brings back memories. As I recall, I was on the road with Wallace Winter (Johnny and Edgar's adopted brother) who was doing a series of UK dates backing up Timex Social Club. The Primitives joined up with us in Coventry for the middle leg of the tour. Wallace (a great bassist who was transitioning to the Chapman Stick at that time, and was definitely struggling with its complexity) opened up these shows, usually with an extended solo that often alienated the crowd. Eventually I would wander onstage to join him, playing piccolo trombone as Wallace had requested. A piccolo trombone is not easy to play with it’s extremely small mouthpiece and 6-inch slide. Between Wallace’s errant fingerings on his Chapman Stick and my tortured squeaks on the piccolo trombone, the Coventry crowd was having none of it. As I recall, it wasn’t long before we were pelted with hard candy, small rocks, etc.; whatever the quickly thinning crowd could get their hands on. The Primitives went on after us. Coventry being their hometown, they went over quite well. We could hear the fans cheering wildly as we sat dejected in our tiny dressing room. Timex Social Club were no fans of Wallace and tried to have us booted off the tour, but contractually we were safe and they could do nothing to have us removed, and so we soldiered on, getting boo’ed off every stage we graced, but believing in our hearts we were making art, and that art was not always understood. Soon enough, The Primitives were tired of us too, and demanded that we be thrown off the bill. This lead to an unsavory confrontation on the midway of a small carnival in Burford where Tracy Tracy of The Primitives slapped Wallace and caused him to fall in the mud. Many onlookers pointed and laughed, something that continues to haunt Wallace to this day. Many feel it was this incident that caused him to cancel our participation in the tour and give up music altogether. Fortunately, Eugene Chadbourne asked me to join his hendectet as a piccolo trombonist. As I recall, we did a short tour of South Korea before he grew tired of piccolo trombone sound and asked me to fly home. Despite my protestations and promises to switch to my Gemeinhardt standard trombone it was not enough. Dejected, I caught a midnight flight back to Atlanta from Pousan. The longest flight if my life. 30 hours. No peanuts, no coke. Just an old, angry steward with halitosis. A musician’s life is tough. Back in Atlanta, I hooked up with Wet Willy for a short tour of Natchez Trace watering holes. I never encountered The Primitives or Timex Social Club again, nor do I hope to.

	5:46pm Lyle: Good to see you old friends. It's been awhile. I've been out on the road with a Pat Suzuki tribute show. Good to be home and listening to Irwin and my favorite radio show again. Happy New Year!
	5:48pm Irwin: Lyle, your reminiscences are always welcome on my comments board. How're the memoirs coming along?
	5:48pm Matt from Springfield: Happy New Year Lyle! 'hendectet'! :)
	5:49pm brainiac: AKA the 'undectet'.

	5:52pm Asheville Jon: thanks Irwin! Have a safe and happy new year!
	5:52pm brainiac: 2013. Also, this is NOT a Dylan song.
	5:53pm neil quarantino: ↳ Song: "All My Days" by "Alexi Murdoch" Sounds very John Martyn-ish
	5:53pm Lyle: Thank you all for remembering me. Irwin, my stories of the road are limited to your playlists. Perhaps one day someone will gather them together in a proper collection. I feel most comfortable here, sharing my stories with your intelligent and art-sensitive listeners.
	5:53pm StringOFperils: This is nice. Reminds me of Bert Jansch
	5:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ JetBoy of Astoria @5:51 Def reminds me of his sound! Alexi Murdoch (prob Scottish?) had albums out 20 years ago, not sure when this is from. I remember his "Orange Sky" from a "hit" commercial 16 years ago, the only track in my iTunes from him. This is quite good, I'll explore his other albums.
	5:53pm brainiac: 2006. I stand corrected. Thanks, Irwin.
