Listener comments!
	7:00pm Listener Gregory: Hey, Gary. I hope you don't mind if I chip in with analysis, biographical notes, and insights throughout today's show. The only reason I can imagine that you might object is because I know nothing about Sakamoto and his music. But I'm a fast learner.
	♥ 7:00pm listener james from westwood: Heya Gary and all! Sad for the occasion but I know this'll be a splendid show.

	♥ 7:10pm WR: Hi Gary, Bodegans.
	♥ 7:11pm Gary: Hey there, WR!
	♥ 7:14pm maestroso: Bit of a Kate Bush vibe with Akiko-san.
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: Maestroso!
	♥ 7:15pm WR: ↳ Song: "Tong Poo" by "Akiko Yano" Have not heard that version before. Lovely.
	7:18pm Charles: Hello! This is gonna be good!
	♥ 7:19pm Gary: Charles!
	7:32pm Listener Gregory: They blinded me with Citizens of Science.
	♥ 7:32pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 I think Chris Mosdell wrote the lyrics for this one
	7:35pm rf: Thank you for the tribute Gary <3
	♥ 7:36pm Gary: RF! My pleasure, and just glad to share with others
	7:37pm Charles: ↳ Song: "Thousand Knives" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto" This song conveys very well the feeling of having a difficult time choosing an ice cream flavor.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:40pm Ike: (subtly nods to everyone)
	♥ 7:41pm Gary: Ike!
	7:47pm Listener Gregory: (Raising an eyebrow in Ike’s general direction)
	7:55pm peter: hey sorry for the non-Ryuichi aside, but I'm headed to Richmond, VA for the weekend, anyone got recommendations?
	♥ 7:56pm Gary: ↳ peter @7:55 Oooh, never been -- sounds fun, tho
	♥ 8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo !
	8:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @7:40 vacant blank stare
	♥ 8:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Removing virtual hat & placing over heart.
	♥ 8:04pm Gary: NGH and RevRab!
	♥ 8:10pm chresti: (Nodding faster than Ike while raising and lowering eyebrows)
	8:14pm ?: (Nonchalantly tossing cowlick while passive-aggressively ignoring teeming fans, counting a wad of Franklins, and yawning, then, suddenly puzzled by the increasing use of parentheticals for stage directions on comment boards, sidling slowly out the back door and closing it quietly with a hushed click.)
	8:14pm Dean: (Me.)
	♥ 8:15pm Gary: Dean!
	8:17pm ERIK /: Peter: re Richmond VA: I hear👂that Plan 9 Record Store is Not to be missed ! & then there is the giant neon Star ⭐️at night.
	♥ 8:19pm Gary: Erik!
	8:21pm ERIK / VermonT: Big (neon) Star !
	8:21pm Dean: When I visit new cities, I generally seek out good record stores, good restaurants, good beer bars, good bookstores, and the local public library. Everything else is take-or-leave.
	8:22pm headcleaner: Greetings, all - it's so nice to be here
	8:23pm Listener Gregory: (Parentheses)
	8:23pm Dean: ([Good one, @LG.])
	♥ 8:24pm Gary: Headcleaner!
	8:25pm peter: ↳ ERIK / @8:17 thanks, Eric! will have to make a stop for sure
	8:26pm peter: ↳ Dean @8:21 similar travel philosophy here, Dean.. (maybe some natural settings too if time allows)
	8:27pm Dean: Yup, though my view of what is "natural" is quite vast. Shopping malls, for example, are natural in my book.
	8:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:23 www.parenthesismedia.com
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: That (Composition 0919) was quite interesting.
	8:28pm peter: ↳ Dean @8:27 that was my first thought after typing haha.. i should say, "plants and rocks and stuff"
	8:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:21 when was the last time you visited a 'new' city?
	8:29pm peter: (i guess malls often have those as well..)
	♥ 8:29pm chresti: I'm retired from shopping malls
	8:32pm emily_w: Listening in! RIP Sakamoto </3
	8:32pm emily_w: PS Gary I'm sorry I never emailed you, life is a bit ridiculous right now and I'm bad at email to start!!
	♥ 8:32pm Gary: My travel plan is typically: WHAT FOOD ARE THESE FINE FOLKS FAMOUS FOR WHAT MUSIC DO THEY EXCEL IN DO THEY HAVE A GREAT MUSEUM AND OR PARK HOW ABOUT GRAFFITI DID A FAMOUS WRITER OR ARTIST OR MUSICIAN LIVE HERE SOMEWHERE AND IS THERE A PLAQUE PLUS SOME OF HEY LET'S GET ON PUBLIC TRANSPORATION TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NO ONE TALKS ABOUT
	♥ 8:33pm Gary: ↳ emily_w @8:32 Emily! I was literally thinking about you today and wondering what you were up to!
	8:33pm Dean: Good question, @ngh. I'd been there before long ago, but last summer I was in Denver. Prior to that, another follow-up visit to Baltimore. The last time I dropped into a city for the first time was...Philly a decade or so ago? Found a great restaurant, but it was so long ago that I don't recall the other excursions. I was there, as is usually the case since I don't generally like to travel at all, on business.
	8:34pm Listener Gregory: That’s impressive, Gary. What do you do in the second month?
	8:34pm emily_w: Aw! Mostly I've been either working, stressing out about work, or both of the above. Hope you have been well!!
	♥ 8:34pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:34 Haha
	♥ 8:36pm Gary: ↳ emily_w @8:34 Not bad, but, yes, super-busy with work
	8:37pm Dean: I hate planning travel, so I let others do it for me. Best case in point, in '84 I followed Les Arts Florissants and the Clemencic Consort on their respective tours around Europe. I even traveled and roomed with LAF. I did this because I wanted to hear their music, not because I wanted to visit, say, Linz. If see no reason to wander beyond a radius of 20 miles from where I live to find new spaces and places.
	8:38pm emily_w: ↳ Gary @8:36 Glad you are doing ok but hate that we are both working so much!!
	8:38pm Dean: I've lived in Berkeley for over 20 years, and I lived in Whittier for 40 years prior. In neither site have I exhausted the discoveries to be made. Yeah, I've been to the Eiffel Tower, too.
	♥ 8:39pm Franco Twinkie: In 1979 a friend of my girlfriend worked in the warehouse at A&M Records. One day he gave me the Yellow Magic Orchestra record with the lady with big sunglasses and wires coming out of her head. "The cover of this album makes me think of you, I have no idea what it is" I didn't know what to make of it. I traded it for rent money, I think. Now it's worth a ton of money. The guy who gave it to me went on to be one of the writer/producers on The Sopranos.
	♥ 8:40pm Gary: Franco T!
	♥ 8:40pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Gary!
	♥ 8:41pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:38 "I've seen old isreal's arab plains it's quite magnificent, but so is Maine" -- Jonathan Richman
	8:42pm Dean: On the money, Gary!
	8:45pm Listener Gregory: @Franco, console yourself with the thought that rent has also gone up a huge amount, so the album is effectively worth the same.
	8:47pm Dean: I sold Joy Division's "Dead Souls" single for $150 c.1995. It's now worth, I dunno, ten times that amount? Rents haven't gone up that much.
	8:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:33 I was just ribbing ya since i know you don't like to travel... ;p
	8:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:34 niceness!
	♥ 8:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:45 True that. last week I went back to where I lived in 1979. The rest was $150 when I moved in a year earlier. The place is a historical landmark. They were fixing up a unit to rent. I asked the manager what it was going for - $2,200. Everything is relative as they say.
	♥ 8:50pm Franco Twinkie: rent^
	8:50pm Dean: Touché, @ngh. I fell for it!
	8:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:47 I may reconsider selling some of my JD vinyl collection...
	♥ 8:51pm WR: I've been looking for photos I took in Japan at Sakamoto Async multimedia Gallery exhibition in Tokyo in 2017. Finally found that the pics were still in the camera.
	♥ 8:52pm chresti: I like visiting places if I can get myself out of the kitchen
	8:54pm northguineahills: Ok, got more work done. I was called away at 7 to help get shelter checkin computer 'working'. someone deleted an icon from the desktop, and they couldn't figure out how to start the program to login the clients. while there, I somehow agreed to put on 'how to create a resume' seminar. So, off I go again. (I need to learn to say no, sometimes). Thanks, Gary, totally revisiting this set (I still have two hours of Jeff's Wayne Shorter set to go as well).
	8:58pm Dean: And now you have to add the "how to create a resume" seminar to your resume!
	9:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:58 the meta-resume addendum addenda....
	♥ 9:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @8:54 Last night I couldn't figure out how to pay the trash-pick up at my moms house online - Chresti did, it despite the fact she had to go to bed. The invoice was posted before I went to bed. This afternoon the trash truck was going to pass the house without picking up the trash until I ran out in the street screaming.
	9:05pm Dean: "couldn't figure out how to pay" How is it that the burden of "figuring out how to pay" has now fallen upon the buyers? This is that moment in every day of my life when I thank God that Steve Jobs is dead and gone, and when I ponder how best to move us this much closer to a healthy regime of communism.
	♥ 9:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Are you suggesting the removal of trash might be in the general interest ? ...Another commie behind ever corner I swear ...what's the human race coming to...
	9:08pm Listener Gregory: My town requires you to buy its garbage bags for all trash pickup, so it’s very easy to pay. Many stores carry them. Recycling and composting are free.
	♥ 9:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:07 I only mentioned it so I could say: When all else fails, I start screaming.
	9:10pm Listener Gregory: My last comment was so uninteresting to anyone else that I’m going to leave the show. Thanks a lot, Gary. I can sense the love that put all this together.
	♥ 9:14pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:10 Interesting! Wondering how much the garbage bags cost?
	9:14pm Dean: But all else always fails. That's no excuse for screaming.
	♥ 9:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @9:14 But I like to scream.
	9:18pm Dean: Franco, I scream. You scream... You see where I'm heading?
	♥ 9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Wilhelm Scream shall be supplanted by the Twinkie Scream. & Franco shall echo down the corridors & landfill of all time. & see if he doesn't.
	♥ 9:20pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @9:18 Of course. We both like to scream.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:21pm Ike: I prefer hollering and yelping, but I'll take the occasional scream.
	♥ 9:22pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:20 Thank yo RR. Sometimes outside intervention is the only way to move discourse in a forward direction.
	♥ 9:25pm chresti: ow my ears if you scream right next to me!
	9:25pm Dean: I like to say nothing at all. If you only knew how often I do that.
	♥ 9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no Thank You. Very Munch ...I mean much...
	♥ 9:26pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @9:25 I should try that sometime. What's it like?
	♥ 9:32pm WR: Gary, though you have 30 minutes yet to go, as I review the choices you've made, most notable is that you've not included any of the well known sound track compositions, A reasonable choice since they are well known.
	9:32pm Dean: Not saying.
	♥ 9:35pm Gary: ↳ WR @9:32 Just you wait
	♥ 9:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Vampira had a notable scream as well ...maybe it's an L.A. thing ...civilization begins in Africa & migrates ...ends on the West Coast screaming @ the garbage collector for justice...
	9:37pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Forbidden Colors" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto & David Sy... Finally
	9:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:37 I like the way you think!
	♥ 9:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:43 ...uh oh...
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Great news, everyone! Sam Segal and his If You Lose Your Horse-chestra are standing in the wings just waiting to pull out all of the stops in an episode they're calling "The Times When a Slow Horse Along a Canal Bank Seems Irrelevant." Click the link here to be whisked away: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Franco's only beginning to find his Hoarse...
	9:47pm ERIK / VermonT: Yay … love All the diversity from the man, but am particularly fond of his pop moves with Neo Geo, Beauty (!!!), Heartbeat, Sweet Revenge, Smoochy, Chasm (!). - don’t sleep on finding the Non Robyn Scott version of Left Handed Dream 1981 ! = superior album.
	♥ 9:50pm Gary: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @9:47 Will seek it out, Erik!
	♥ 9:54pm chresti: ↳ chresti @8:52 To a kitchen somewhere else
	9:55pm headcleaner: Get read to be Going Places, people! wfmu.org...
	9:56pm emily_w: Such a great show, thank you Gary!!
	♥ 9:56pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	9:56pm Dean: Must confess that I'm now listening to Melchior Neusidler.
	♥ 9:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Gary. I'm going back in the kitchen to try and regain order.
	♥ 9:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, all!

	8:45pm Listener Gregory: @Franco, console yourself with the thought that rent has also gone up a huge amount, so the album is effectively worth the same.
	8:47pm Dean: I sold Joy Division's "Dead Souls" single for $150 c.1995. It's now worth, I dunno, ten times that amount? Rents haven't gone up that much.
	8:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:33 I was just ribbing ya since i know you don't like to travel... ;p
	8:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:34 niceness!
	♥ 8:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:45 True that. last week I went back to where I lived in 1979. The rest was $150 when I moved in a year earlier. The place is a historical landmark. They were fixing up a unit to rent. I asked the manager what it was going for - $2,200. Everything is relative as they say.
	♥ 8:50pm Franco Twinkie: rent^
	8:50pm Dean: Touché, @ngh. I fell for it!
	8:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:47 I may reconsider selling some of my JD vinyl collection...
	♥ 8:51pm WR: I've been looking for photos I took in Japan at Sakamoto Async multimedia Gallery exhibition in Tokyo in 2017. Finally found that the pics were still in the camera.
	♥ 8:52pm chresti: I like visiting places if I can get myself out of the kitchen
	8:54pm northguineahills: Ok, got more work done. I was called away at 7 to help get shelter checkin computer 'working'. someone deleted an icon from the desktop, and they couldn't figure out how to start the program to login the clients. while there, I somehow agreed to put on 'how to create a resume' seminar. So, off I go again. (I need to learn to say no, sometimes). Thanks, Gary, totally revisiting this set (I still have two hours of Jeff's Wayne Shorter set to go as well).
	8:58pm Dean: And now you have to add the "how to create a resume" seminar to your resume!
	9:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:58 the meta-resume addendum addenda....
	♥ 9:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @8:54 Last night I couldn't figure out how to pay the trash-pick up at my moms house online - Chresti did, it despite the fact she had to go to bed. The invoice was posted before I went to bed. This afternoon the trash truck was going to pass the house without picking up the trash until I ran out in the street screaming.
	9:05pm Dean: "couldn't figure out how to pay" How is it that the burden of "figuring out how to pay" has now fallen upon the buyers? This is that moment in every day of my life when I thank God that Steve Jobs is dead and gone, and when I ponder how best to move us this much closer to a healthy regime of communism.
	♥ 9:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Are you suggesting the removal of trash might be in the general interest ? ...Another commie behind ever corner I swear ...what's the human race coming to...
	9:08pm Listener Gregory: My town requires you to buy its garbage bags for all trash pickup, so it’s very easy to pay. Many stores carry them. Recycling and composting are free.
	♥ 9:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:07 I only mentioned it so I could say: When all else fails, I start screaming.
	9:10pm Listener Gregory: My last comment was so uninteresting to anyone else that I’m going to leave the show. Thanks a lot, Gary. I can sense the love that put all this together.
	♥ 9:14pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:10 Interesting! Wondering how much the garbage bags cost?
	9:14pm Dean: But all else always fails. That's no excuse for screaming.
	♥ 9:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @9:14 But I like to scream.
	9:18pm Dean: Franco, I scream. You scream... You see where I'm heading?
	♥ 9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Wilhelm Scream shall be supplanted by the Twinkie Scream. & Franco shall echo down the corridors & landfill of all time. & see if he doesn't.
	♥ 9:20pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @9:18 Of course. We both like to scream.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:21pm Ike: I prefer hollering and yelping, but I'll take the occasional scream.
	♥ 9:22pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:20 Thank yo RR. Sometimes outside intervention is the only way to move discourse in a forward direction.
	♥ 9:25pm chresti: ow my ears if you scream right next to me!
	9:25pm Dean: I like to say nothing at all. If you only knew how often I do that.
	♥ 9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no Thank You. Very Munch ...I mean much...
	♥ 9:26pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @9:25 I should try that sometime. What's it like?
	♥ 9:32pm WR: Gary, though you have 30 minutes yet to go, as I review the choices you've made, most notable is that you've not included any of the well known sound track compositions, A reasonable choice since they are well known.
	9:32pm Dean: Not saying.
	♥ 9:35pm Gary: ↳ WR @9:32 Just you wait
	♥ 9:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Vampira had a notable scream as well ...maybe it's an L.A. thing ...civilization begins in Africa & migrates ...ends on the West Coast screaming @ the garbage collector for justice...
	9:37pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Forbidden Colors" by "Ryuichi Sakamoto & David Sy... Finally
	9:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:37 I like the way you think!
	♥ 9:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:43 ...uh oh...
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Great news, everyone! Sam Segal and his If You Lose Your Horse-chestra are standing in the wings just waiting to pull out all of the stops in an episode they're calling "The Times When a Slow Horse Along a Canal Bank Seems Irrelevant." Click the link here to be whisked away: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Franco's only beginning to find his Hoarse...
	9:47pm ERIK / VermonT: Yay … love All the diversity from the man, but am particularly fond of his pop moves with Neo Geo, Beauty (!!!), Heartbeat, Sweet Revenge, Smoochy, Chasm (!). - don’t sleep on finding the Non Robyn Scott version of Left Handed Dream 1981 ! = superior album.
	♥ 9:50pm Gary: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @9:47 Will seek it out, Erik!
	♥ 9:54pm chresti: ↳ chresti @8:52 To a kitchen somewhere else
