	2:29pm Listener Robert: ↳ AnAnonymousParty @12:01 I think I just learned where the character name "Hugo Reyes" on "Lost" came from.
	👻 3:00pm 12539: Irwin O'Clock!
	3:01pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: 3pm it’s IRWIN TIME

	👻 3:03pm NC Mark: Eighth!
	3:04pm swivs: Confused slightly more than usual, thanks Irwin.
	3:05pm Andrea C: Hi Irwin and everyone.
	👻 3:05pm Karl Ward: ↳ swivs @3:04 I think it's because Hungry Joe coined the phrase "there's a Van Morrison fan born every minute"
	3:06pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Well. I think we’re all early awating Gus Bodenheims next angry tirade.
	3:08pm Carmichael: Taste the biscuit in the basket out of the rain.
	👻 3:08pm Franco Twinkie: Hello Irwin.
	3:08pm Matt_: ↳ Song: "Basket, Biscuit, Rain" by "Erik Friedlander" I can almost, um, taste the biscuit
	3:09pm Carmichael: A set of biscuit-themed songs, perhaps? Or Bisquick-themed songs ...
	👻 3:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Carmichael @3:09 Bisquick and then the lash!
	3:11pm northguineahills: what is this about soggy biscuits?
	3:12pm Cooh John: Hello Irwin and irwits.
	3:13pm Carmichael: Gus is FMU's version of Basil Fawlty.
	👻 3:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @3:11 If you think of the disappointment in life as a soggy biscuit, when you choke on a chicken bone as your swan song, everything will fall into place as you take your last breath.
	3:15pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Gus is always upset about something
	3:17pm f0Fo (: Can I Irequest for Gus Bodenheim to review the Eurovision 2023 finale?
	3:19pm Matty cannabis: Giuffre trio is my jazz spirit animal
	3:20pm Irwin: Today's Gus is really irate. Steer clear.
	3:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:15 if we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. checkmate....
	👻 3:23pm DjLorraine: I must admit i didn't realize con was short for confidence
	👻 3:24pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @3:22 A++, professor!
	3:24pm brainiac: I'm disturbed by the lack of biscuits in these last few numbers, but I'll get over it. Hi to all, including you, Mr. Atoz.
	3:24pm lieutenant lambrusco: Great cover
	3:24pm Gainstagerliquid90: Just visited a jazz record shop in midtown near Chelsea. Good records but even better CD collection
	3:25pm northguineahills: man city up 1-0 over real madrid...
	3:25pm Monica: greetings, irwin and irwin-ites.
	3:25pm Irwin: ↳ lieutenant lambrusco @3:24 They really turned this upside-down in a brilliant way.
	3:25pm f0Fo (: Precisely why I'd like Gus to review Eurovision. A furious analysis of it.
	3:25pm northguineahills: i can't take credit (zap brannigan from futurama)
	3:28pm brainiac: ↳ Song: "Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." I first heard of this band last week. Can someone tell me what the D.C. stands for?
	3:29pm Mortricia: I know you've said before and I apologize for my lack of memory (or apparently note-taking) but what is your "talk-over" music. I just love it!
	3:29pm Matt_: ↳ brainiac @3:28 Dublin City - they had to add it to distinguish from another band (and are from Dublin)
	3:29pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ brainiac @3:28 Dane Cook
	3:30pm brainiac: ↳ Matt_ @3:29 Thanks, Matt!
	3:32pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @3:29 Last time I tried that he was underdone
	3:33pm Handy Haversack: I told Irwin my dad's Maxwell Bodenheim story during Marathon. My dad waited tables and was on the art scene in the Village in the fifties. He definitely knew Bodenheim, as far as it went.
	3:33pm Gainstagerliquid90: Lol @" look him up" and "dynamo"
	3:33pm Mup Mahoy: Maxwell Bodenheim was born on May 26th, 1892
	👻 3:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: If you're being choked, perform the Bodenheimlich maneuver.
	3:36pm brainiac: My favorite Max Bodenheim work was Naked On roller Skates m.media-amazon.com...
	3:37pm Gainstagerliquid90: Lol
	3:37pm Irwin: ↳ brainiac @3:36 Don't overlook "Replenishing Jessica."
	3:38pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ sydnius @3:32 Is that a cook reference?
	3:38pm chresti: Ergonomica Rising?
	3:39pm Blissland: excellent
	3:40pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @3:38 It was a cooking a Dane reference
	3:40pm Matt_: ↳ sydnius @3:40 Dane, cook!
	3:41pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: I’m surprised! That’s the most coherent I’ve heard Gus yet. He must have been off the “sauce” for longer than a week
	👻 3:41pm Franco Twinkie: Righteous indignation never sounded so, so overdressed for the beach?
	3:41pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ sydnius @3:40 In that case, well played sir
	3:43pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @3:41 aww pshaw I give myself 2.5/5, I have many notes
	3:46pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ sydnius @3:43 I was going to give 10 sheckles and a dreidel for good measure. But ok
	3:53pm steveo: I got to be honest I didn't remember what day it was until this Monk came on
	3:54pm Irwin: ↳ steveo @3:53 I'm not terribly calendar-driven either.
	3:55pm Handy Haversack: I have to drive my calendar home, I'm afraid. I will hopefully catch the third third from friendlier shores. Thanks, Irwin!
	3:55pm northguineahills: WFMU is my calendar. Fill-in djs discombobulate my temporal awareness...
	3:56pm luka: ↳ Song: "Joiner" by "Blondshell" this is sublime
	👻 3:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Irwin @3:54 A calendar with "This Day in Bodenheim History" would be neat.
	3:59pm northguineahills: hither, hether, and heather...
	4:00pm steveo: In the town where I was born
	4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'ello me good fine Men of the Bunco...
	4:03pm The Oscar: I remember as a kid going with my dad to his office and seeing that he had exactly three pictures hung in his cubicle: me, my mom, and Thelonious Monk.
	👻 4:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @3:55 If discombobulation is a result of the custard like posey imbued therein, consider a trip to the laundromat instead.
	👻 4:06pm Franco Twinkie: Jazz is jizz I read someplace. Correct me if I'm speaking out of class.
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As vast & varied & significant & deep & mysterious as the great Continent of Jazz is - it's surprisingly easy for me to tag my Faves : Coltrane #1 ...& Monk 2nd only to him ...then yeah the vertical distances get larger for a but - & then less exactly perpendicular... Actually think of Monk as like SydBarrett - in someone not strictly NeuroNormal giving us one transparent window into an entirely other mode of perception. Art can do many things - but that's probly one of the rarest ~ most rarified...
	4:08pm Blissland: I think the Pop music genre proper came into being just incidentally in the early 70s when the styles began to diverge from actual commercial appeal. So ironically you get Pop music that's not really popular.
	4:09pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:08 2 of my most favorite as well.
	4:09pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" This is pop, jazz, jam, country, and fusion.
	4:09pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Bobby!
	👻 4:10pm Franco Twinkie: ...speaking of the early 70's!
	4:10pm hilaryprudy: What!
	4:10pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Thanks! efd's Rose City Band tune had the Dead in my head so this is a nice treat.
	4:11pm The Butterman: Bizarre choice! And I’m a Deadhead!
	4:11pm Mortricia: ↳ The Butterman @4:11 Agreed but I'll take what I can get since there aren't a lot of FMU DJs that seem to dig the Dead.
	👻 4:12pm Karl Ward: ↳ Irwin @4:09 It's 10/4 time, so it's also prog
	4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Unpopular Pop' - yeah the word can mean two things ...or @ least two (I suppose) - namely, releases actually Popular ...well, what does that mean. How many Copies produced, distributed & heard by how many people - much less purchased ...that's a whole discussion ...but maybe not too painful a one ...or - Stylistic markers like upbeat melodicism as a Genre...
	👻 4:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" The Dead sandpapered all the Aoxomoxoa off for this one.
	4:13pm The Butterman: ↳ Mortricia @4:11 True.
	4:13pm Irwin: ↳ The Butterman @4:11 I never tire of this. The guitar, the piano, the drums, the 10/4. It's magnificent. I don't know any other song by Weir - not one.
	4:13pm sydnius: ↳ Mortricia @4:11 There are surprisingly few plays of “China Cat Sunflower” wince 2002
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" When they put out Solo albums that got subsumed into the Dead repertoire anyhow ??
	4:13pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:12 I was thinking of groups like Fotomaker, Flamin' Groovies, Starz, maybe to a lesser extent Rockpile since they were sort of popular
	4:14pm Irwin: ↳ sydnius @4:13 I played a cover by Lane Steinberg from his EP "Lane Plays Dead." It's on Bandcamp.
	4:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Mortricia @4:11 dj jesse jarnow not only digs the dead, he also does a certain official podcast about them. (see tuesday evenings 9-12 edt)
	4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Surely that's Jerry noodling.
	4:14pm Blissland: Pop became a genre unto itself irrespective of commercial considerations
	4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:13 Well - then there's PowerPop...
	4:14pm Mortricia: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:13 Most of the people on here are Dead or Dead adjacent. Basically the solo's gave that person a little more say in the direction. But that's really the only big difference.
	4:15pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:14 Wherever this song meanders, it always lands in the right place.
	4:15pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:14 Unpopular pop, or dare I say "Hipster music"
	4:15pm Mortricia: ↳ northguineahills @4:14 Wow! Had no idea! Thanks man. I'll check it out.
	4:15pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:14 Exactly, although in that case ther are a lot of actually popular acts such as the Raspberries and Badfinger.
	4:15pm The Butterman: Shoulda played a 45 min long version from ‘73.
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:14 ...but if you're talking to a Billboard magazine worker, Pop may still mean the latter. If that's not too archaic a reference...
	4:16pm Mister Dobalina: Happy birthday, Taj Mahal..
	4:16pm Blissland: Pop now in industry terms I'm sure means something I could not recognize.
	4:16pm rsj: endless AI dead, what a sweet nightmare
	4:17pm jan: A new Dead cut for me to enjoy- never got past the sour sounding lyrics of this song before, to appreciate the instrumental jamming. The other cut was Dark Star on Live Dead
	4:17pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Irwin @4:15 It's a miracle, and totally true. A low impact example of musical brinkmanship.
	4:17pm sydnius: Morning Dew, Europe ‘72
	👻 4:18pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" When I asked my sister what she remembered about seen The Dead in 1971, the guffawed "Ogling Bob Weir!"
	4:18pm Gainstagerliquid90: Jazz was called Jazz by critics, not by musicians. And aren't there 4 or 5 evolutions within that genre. Would there be reiterations if there is no one trying to categorize music in a box?
	4:19pm Blissland: I'm partial to post-bop for some reason
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - the idea that the Dead cannot play, sing, write or record - there is evidence to the contrary that they were pretty Musical & serious about it all ...tho of course they never stopped showing up in places & playing - without aggressive ambitions. So meandering became a feature not a bug in their universe (they after all gestated in the Acid Tests - not a Club like everyone else ever)...
	4:19pm brainiac: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Songs from Ace that all became GD staples: Playing In The Band Looks Like Rain Mexicali Blues One More Saturday Night
	4:20pm chresti: Jazz-a-ma-tazz
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ brainiac @4:19 Guess I should check out the rest of the album? It's only been out for 48 years.
	4:20pm wind: Wow wow whot is this!? So good 😎
	4:21pm brainiac: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Do as thou wilt, man.
	👻 4:22pm Franco Twinkie: Bravo!!
	4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sexy Sadie" by "Reno Bo" Pretty faithful cover ...which in this case is admirable & gratifying. To take on Lennon's vocal is one of the highest bars imho. Didn't Paul Weller take a crack @ this ?
	4:24pm Blissland: I guess Big Star didn't have too much commercial success either. Not to beat a dead horse but it was a glaring oversight not to mention them in that context.
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:24 I mean they got the sound down very very well.
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Drift of Things" by "The Spires" EFD aired earlier. I was already committed to it for today's show.
	4:35pm Blissland: Yes I did Irwin, it was beautiful
	👻 4:35pm 12539: ↳ Song: "Eallin" by "Leagus" I enjoyed the Leagus, Irwin.
	4:36pm coelacanth∅: i liked that track.
	4:36pm Matt from Springfield: This weekday has been a pretty weak day! Glad to hear and see you great people here! Hola Irwin y buddychums.
	4:37pm Mortricia: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:18 Bobby in cut off shorts! Even with his preppy polo (!).
	👻 4:37pm Franco Twinkie: Interesting revelation, Irwin.
	4:39pm Matt from Springfield: One step closer to self-aware neurotic consciousness..
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or 'Popular Music' - which after all is different words than just 'Pop'. Which could mean anything not 'Serious' or 'Academic' or Traditional Regional Ethnic Folk or something... A great & confounding thing about Modernism & the 20th Century is all the Labels began to melt &/or get translucent due to various technologies & sociologies... In fact I posit the fact alone that the Population of the World has doubled in my lifespan alone strains the definitions of 'Folk' or 'Popular' or 'Classical' ...the idea that 1960s 'Pop' like TheBeatles is 'Classical' seems to be coming into more relief recently among some - I reckon we've long behaved as if this were so...
	👻 4:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mortricia @4:37 Some of his outfits - OY! But he got the girls, right?
	4:39pm coelacanth∅: i can't stand Weir's voice/singing (post ~1968) so i don't like ace. ...if you think the 'dead is a crappy rock band you haven't heard the first album or "vintage dead" - by far their best 2 albums.
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Matt!
	4:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:40 Greetings, coela! Thank YOU, Scott and Swagsters!
	4:41pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:39 What's the difference between Spice Girls and "Smack My B___ Up" by Prodigy?
	4:41pm Blissland: ugh ... the world population of people has about tripled since I was born
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Blissland @4:41 yeah. we're fucked.
	4:43pm Blissland: Anyway I was probably thinking of power pop, I just don't remember hearing that term until much later on. I don't know when that term was coined.
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: (pun intended)
	4:43pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @4:41 I never was good at integrals ∫
	4:43pm Blissland: It's not just more people, they keep getting worse too
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @4:41 - distinct demographics they chose to pander to - with precisely proportion sales (tho both large). Which makes the point that Pop is often specifically Commercial in intent ...& likely Disposable & temporary like Fast Food (with which it shares even a name)... Whereas 'Classical' has a specific subtextual implication of something Permanent & of lasting value...
	4:46pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:45 The ultimate "catalogue" tracks. Even "library" or "archival" tracks for their preservation...
	👻 4:46pm Karl Ward: Now I want to hear power classical
	4:46pm Blissland: Yet a lot of pop records turned out to have timeless appeal
	4:47pm Irwin: ↳ Karl Ward @4:46 One moment, pls.
	4:47pm sydnius: ↳ Karl Ward @4:46 Speedfolk, oh that’s just bluegrass
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:43 Pete Townshend probly coined the term 'Power Pop' in 1966 to distinguish themselves (TheWho) from the 'heavier' groups coming along - whose Weaponry was pioneered by TheWho in fact...
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Karl Ward @4:46 "Power pop" Classical.. Power "rock" Classical.. Power "metal" Classical.. "Electronic" Classical.. Many ways one can take with that prompt.
	4:48pm Blissland: I always thought the Who were just about the heaviest thing
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:46 Indeed. & a subjective & debatable criterion of course...
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ sydnius @4:47 Klezmer too is a type of "speed folk".
	👻 4:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:45 If everyone who eats fast food decided to pull fruit off trees instead, I'd be in deep shit.
	4:49pm Irwin: ↳ Blissland @4:48 As such, the opposite of The Free Design.
	4:49pm Blissland: They should have speed classical. Most of those symphonies are way too long.
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:48 Yes but they were a Singles Band earlier. & then into the 1970s became Heavier & Arena Rawk par excellence...
	4:50pm Blissland: ↳ Irwin @4:49 Can't say I'm familiar with The Free Design.
	4:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @4:50 the free design will show you that kites are fun!
	4:51pm Irwin: ↳ Blissland @4:50 The lightest band ever.
	👻 4:51pm Karl Ward: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:48 I guess I mean extremely catchy classical music with fairly straightforward chord changes and lyrics about being a teenager, also the pieces have to be between 2 and 3 minutes long, and you have to be able to drink and smoke at the shows, and you probably have to stand at the shows, also it's dark, lyrics have to be pretty straightforward, definitely need kit drums, probably a couple guitars, a bass, one lead singer and some backup singers doing harmony, maybe we can move some of the orchestral instruments to the side of the stage...
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:49 Most Digital players allow one to change Speeds without Pitch alteration now... Of course the Time investment of Attention is the whole Medium is Massage of Symphonies one reckons ...& is why we rarely do...
	4:51pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:50 That's true but they always had that raunchy heavy sound even if the songs were lighter
	4:51pm sydnius: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:49 Thank you for leaving my Reuben intact
	4:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @4:49 So light and floating!! Kites Are Fun! So are Bubbles!!
	4:52pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:51 Not a diss. They're terrific. Genius, even.
	4:52pm coelacanth∅: yesterday had a good conversation with someone with whom most of our good conversation is about music. known him for ...10 years? neither of us knew the other liked classical music. so now we each have a few things to check out from the other's ... same person (a bass player) had high praise for Phil Lesh -saying something i've never realised - that Phil plays 'around' the expected notes, or phrases... i said that's a lot like avant jazz.
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Irwin @4:52 what Irwin said!
	4:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ northguineahills @4:51 Well played! I finally get to shake fist at you, instead! 😁
	4:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:52 a rarity on my end, i must admit 😁
	👻 4:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ sydnius @4:51 Don't get me wrong, I eat tacos from street vendors.
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:52 It characterized the Psychedelic Movement that people of different backgrounds became Open to each other. Lesh was from a Classical - & an Avant-guard background. Jerry from Folk & Country & so on...
	4:54pm Blissland: Phil Lesh does dance around a whole lot.
	4:54pm sydnius: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:54 I mean… 🌮
	👻 4:54pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Karl Ward @4:51 you're describing a Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds show i was at several years ago w/Oakland Children's Choir during several tunes.
	4:54pm Blissland: on the bass I mean
	4:55pm listener 126464: Try searching for a The Free Design t-shirt.
	4:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Karl Ward @4:51 Oh yeah, like Falco and "Rock Me Amadeus"! Making pop out of Classical..
	👻 4:55pm chris in the redwoods: also, hello, all!
	👻 4:56pm egould: I don’t understand half of what you people are discussing musically. All I know is that the music being piped in the bar of the Chili’s I’m at is plenty for me.
	4:56pm brainiac: Kite ARE Fun
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Karl Ward @4:51 The advent of Drums in all our U.S. American Forms deriving from African(-American) sources (& maybe even First Nations people - which the Africans were too) - cannot be underestimated. Trap Sets btw are short for Contraption ...cause one person playing many Drums is practically Novel in all the prior History of every Culture...
	4:56pm brainiac: *s
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: right on Rabbit, i didn't know that. i know little about Lesh. but i like his playing.
	4:57pm Blissland: Kites are a good excuse to go outdoors in the spring
	4:57pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ egould @4:56 ftw!
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: ola chris (itr)
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: Back home! Gonna put the radio in the window and go sit outside with a cocktail. But we'll be listening. Cheers, Irwin and all the Irwingers!
	👻 4:58pm chris in the redwoods: hey, coel! cheers, Handy and K8!
	4:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" Wow! A fan mix of Scott Williams' talkover music, they even added lyrics!!...
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 ...what will Irwin come up with next...
	4:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 snert!
	👻 4:59pm Karl Ward: ↳ egould @4:56 Man that Chili's must be cool as hell
	4:59pm jan: Dusty! Such a sweet memory to abut the reality of today’s subway
	5:00pm Charley Brown∅: i don't think kites are fun at all.
	5:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 I was once confused about subways and pouring rain, then I found out that in Britain a "subway" is a pedestrian crossing underneath a road, so that makes better sense. "The Tube" is their term for subterranean rail.
	5:00pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" The great and weird '90s Canadian sitcom Twitch City had an episode where the protagonist is going crazy trying to place the tune his downstairs neighbor's band is constantly playing, and in the end he realizes it's a slow, sludgy cover of "Don't Sleep in the Subway." Great show.
	5:00pm northguineahills: I used to love to sleep on the subway on the way home from work. I'd always wake at my stop...
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I wonder if Kites enjoy flight or are terrified...
	5:01pm jan: Oh my bad - Petula
	5:01pm sydnius: ↳ northguineahills @5:00 …preposition trouble
	5:01pm brainiac: I once slept in the subway 'til the end of the line. That was not fun.
	5:01pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:59 There's a certain dolorose piece of Scott's I hope they don't do lyrics for. It would lose that lovin' feelin'.
	👻 5:02pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:57 Before I was aware of Phil Lesh's playing as a 'thing,' I listened to to The Eleven with headphones on in a barn in Santa Cruz with part of the roof missing. After that I knew.
	5:02pm coelacanth∅: he was a zoomer ahead of his time
	5:02pm Blissland: Hey but at least Petula got a hit song out of it
	👻 5:02pm egould: ↳ Charley Brown∅ @5:00 Thank you. I enjoy humor.
	5:03pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" I still don't know the implication of "the why and wherefore"...
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Petula much more ...'Pop'. Tho had a background in Theater & jumped the Brit Invasion bus... & maybe Dusty sold more (was 'Popular') ? :D ...
	👻 5:03pm Karl Ward: I used to fall asleep on the subway all the time, and I think I'm a catch
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: Franco, "the eleven"?
	5:04pm Wretch: Pretty sure Ellen DeGeneres did a bit about Don't Sleep in the Subway back in the Carson days
	5:05pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Takes Me Over" by "Pale Blue Eyes" Qu-ality 80s alternative sound, TODAY!
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ Wretch @5:04 Who?
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:02 "Don't Sleep in the Subway", b/w "Fine! Be That Way!"
	5:06pm brainiac: ↳ Song: "Takes Me Over" by "Pale Blue Eyes" This is about as diametrically opposed to the VU as you can get
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" It's an interesting bit of Pop to look into. There's subtext about Homelessness & Sleeping Together ...he's a Mod Hobosexual I reckon...
	5:06pm Irwin: ↳ brainiac @5:06 It's just a name, like One Hour Dry Cleaning.
	5:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 haha!
	5:07pm Blissland: hobosexual ...
	5:07pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:06 "Hobosexual" - nice. Could be about a "slummer" trying to turn her "Bo" beau into a "BoBo" beau...
	5:07pm chresti: ↳ Charley Brown∅ @5:00 Kites are a lot of work. Then they crash into something.
	5:08pm Blissland: I wonder how many pop songs of that era have a heavy psychological subtext ... I think Georgy Girl is another
	5:08pm wenzo: There’s a kite festival coming up around here… thanks for reminding me
	👻 5:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:04 Live Dead.
	5:09pm coelacanth∅: i wouldn't mind checking out a kite festival. didn't know those existed.
	5:10pm Mortricia: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:39 Indeed, he was definitely the "chick magnet" of the group in the day. Even now he's in great shape (old man arms not withstanding) but who would have thought he'd age into "Robert E Lee" (looks only - politics still def north of the Mason/Dixon line).
	5:10pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ Blissland @5:08 Most bands say that's an afterthought to creating a song which is interesting to me.
	5:11pm Blissland: I guess Georgy Girl is different since it was written for the movie
	5:11pm wenzo: They do in Detroit… and Japan I think? Probably lots of places.
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: oh, Franco that's the one album he mentioned! (and not one of the ones i have; but i can find it online) Thanks
	5:11pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @5:06 Or this one.
	5:12pm Aaron Working In Newark: NICE!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @5:08 I posit the 1960s are broadly about Innocence & the loss thereof (Experience). & the excelerated thrills & demoralization of all the potential extremes & intermediary steps between them... all the exquisite & the crushing states that can be charted in that territory - personally, culturally & globally...
	5:12pm wenzo: Apparently there was one at the Brooklyn bridge park last Saturday
	5:13pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:12 That's eloquent. And sounds about right.
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:12 *accelerated - en excelsis...
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The World's on Fire" by "Strawberry Alarm Clock" Sort of thing reminds me of NYC's own Morgen. If less intelligent. Great track in other words...
	5:15pm Blissland: The 60s were so full that it had to take up most of the 70s too
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The World's on Fire" by "Strawberry Alarm Clock" Juicy artyfact here. Approve.
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @5:15 Pretty good yerself there...
	5:15pm chresti: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:06 I'm imagining Petula singing this to a hobo sleeping in a subway
	5:16pm Mortricia: ↳ Wretch @5:04 It wasn't Elaine Boosler? She also said once that as opposed to some poeple in Hollywood, she sleeps with people who can do her absolutely no good career-wise. She picked them bc she liked them, as foolish as that is. /s
	5:17pm Blissland: De-moralization is a key word. It's where all the freedom stems from, i.e free love, and also the conflict of the generation gap
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chresti @5:15 The Economic Class situation in the 1960s was significant ...we struggle to imagine a Society before even 70s Inflation - when the Wages to Cost metric began to be so rudely manipulated... In other words - Society was in Tumult - but there was still plenty of Money, dammit...
	5:19pm Blissland: Maybe that can be traced back to the 50s, but the 50s counter-culture was nothing near the phenomenon of the 60s
	5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @5:19 "Greenwich Village became the World.' - Roger McGuinn
	5:20pm Gainstagerliquid90: So what happened when Uncle Sam kicked everyone in the butt during the '70s?
	👻 5:21pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mortricia @5:10 Since Bob is obviously on your radar, I must share this: In 1966 The Dead were hiding out in L.A. My friend Mark knew them from the Stanford/Palo Alto folk scene. He dropped in for a visit. They had a dope room upstairs. They were sitting around smoking a joint and Bob casually mentioned that he showed Neil Cassidy how to roll a joint. Jerry Garcia raised his eyebrows "Neil was rolling joints while you were still in diapers!" Undaunted Bob said "Well, I showed him a new way."
	5:22pm chresti: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:18 Dropping out and taking drugs..
	5:22pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Prelude to a Kiss" by "Charles Mingus & Red Norvo" Aw, I love this stuff.
	👻 5:22pm egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:21 …and that’s how the word “weird” entered the lexicon.
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @5:15 Lucky hobo
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chresti @5:22 Right. What's the worst that can happen ...we won't like - starve or anything...
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:21 Bob also thought/thinks he could come within a zillion miles of adequately filling the gap Pig Pen left.
	👻 5:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:25 Mark also told me Pig Pen was very quite AND serious!
	5:28pm Mortricia: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:21 LOL That sounds spot on for both Bobby and Jerry! Love that anecdote!
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:25 Tho what choice did any of them have. Pigpen brought the Blues & R&B. Always thot of Weir as the most BeachBoys ~ Ramones of the Dead - younger & the Rock'n'Roll kid ...which was good for them, but frankly maybe the least interesting...
	5:29pm coelacanth∅: Franco that's just how i've always seen Pig pen
	👻 5:29pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Twist" by "Lorkin O'Reilly (ft. Laura Quirke)" Wow.
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah affected a Biker look as Armor.
	👻 5:30pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" A perfect tune to follow the previous one.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rrg @5:30 Word.
	5:31pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite Joni songs
	5:31pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" YES!!! This is a lovely song from Joni, always wished this got better exposure!
	5:31pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:29 There's another version he recorded without Laura.
	👻 5:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:29 Mark liked The Dead well enough, but it was Owsley's girlfriend he was REALLY interested in.(They lived in the same house as The Dead)
	5:32pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" Dreams for a dollar down? Wow, those were the days.
	5:32pm Mortricia: Yeah the sound with and without Pig was very different. Bobby does the cowboy tunes better - that's more his forte I think. That and the pop-rock (Need a Miracle, etc). I can understand old Deadheads that weren't keen on the post-Pigpen years. We struggle with the post Jerry years, so I totally get it. Shrug. Different strokes and YMMV.
	5:32pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:31 Mine too.
	5:33pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" "...are all the mornings, still to live..." 💖
	5:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mortricia @5:32 yeah Bob's Marty and Hank was good. i run screaming from "need a miracle" though! he yells. that's not singing!
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mortricia @5:32 ...maybe the Dead are like Middle-earth ...we all have our ideal Mythological Vision & resent all others ...& of an afternoon may stumble into Awe there unexpectedly anyhow... Faerie is a Perilous Land...
	5:36pm Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: ↳ Song: "The World's on Fire" by "Strawberry Alarm Clock" These guys could really play. Who knew?
	5:37pm coelacanth∅: ...my introduction to the dead's music was around 1978. so i didn't have any attachment to Pig Pen
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ @5:36 Got that one's groove anyhow. Presuming it weren't Studio people. Let's say not...
	5:37pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Does anyone know what happned to “trans pacific sound paradise”
	5:38pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Gus Meets Lucifer" by "Gus Bodenheim" Bones mott
	5:38pm Irwin: ↳ Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ @5:36 I was impressed when I first heard the track (which was decades after it was issued). They were listening to jazz. I even hear echoes of Sun Ra in there, but I doubt they were into Sunny in 1968.
	5:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gus Meets Lucifer" by "Gus Bodenheim" Gus sure does beguile-and-smile me...
	👻 5:39pm Franco Twinkie: Ross Perot?
	5:39pm -жеи: ↳ listener Phillip in the Bronx @5:37 Yes Phillip, Rob W broke his foot and had to take a few months off to recuperate.
	5:40pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Ohhh WOW😱 I’m sorry I didn’t know that
	5:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:39 "Salesman's pitch" - takes one to know one..
	5:41pm Dean: There's something Frederick Seidel-ish about GB's schtick. In a good way.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ -жеи @5:39 Appreciate the intel. Wishing the one & only RobW all (you'll pardon the term here) Wellness.
	👻 5:41pm Franco Twinkie: Old Scratch?
	5:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ -жеи @5:39 💕 out to Rob Weisberg.
	👻 5:42pm 12539: Thanks, Irwin!
	5:43pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Hard to Love" by "Bully" Another new song I've listened to 10x.
	👻 5:43pm egould: ↳ Song: "Gus Meets Lucifer" by "Gus Bodenheim" Ok. I am freaked OUT!!!
	5:43pm coelacanth∅: my house is loud
	5:43pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Wow 😱 I’m stunned.
	5:43pm coelacanth∅: i hate that until my wfmu swag comes i have to put pants on every day
	👻 5:44pm Franco Twinkie: I'd wash my clothes with gasoline in the middle of the street before I trusted to a so-called 'dry cleaners' Thanks for confirming my suspicion, Gus.
	👻 5:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: I liked Gus Bodenheim Mellencamp's set at the last Farm Aid concert.
	👻 5:46pm DjLorraine: 💕 Rob Weisberg
	5:47pm Gainstagerliquid90: Is there an end to the insidiousness of it all?
	5:47pm Erik/VermonT: Freakin Love John Cooper Clarke !!! Yes 👏
	5:48pm coelacanth∅: "dry cleaned" is neither dry nor clean
	👻 5:50pm egould: Bye everybody. I have to go interact with people in real life. Thanks Irwin.
	5:50pm Fishtown Mike: Great show Irwin (& Gus)! Thanks!
	5:50pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Rag Doll" by "Packs" I like the name of this album

	5:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @5:50 💕 out to you, egould..
	5:52pm chresti: ↳ Song: "You Can Be Loved" by "Orenda Fink" The answer song to "Hard to Love"?
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Irwin @4:09 That's astute that - way back up there.
	5:53pm Roberto: Genre-toking surfenism at its finest.
	5:54pm Carmichael: ↳ DjLorraine @5:46 DJ Saltzshaker has been doing a swell job in relief of Rob. Brilliant management, brother Ken.
	5:54pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @5:53 Maurice (?) is looking happy buddha like.
	👻 5:55pm chris in the redwoods: adorable. you, too, Irwin. thanks!
	5:55pm chresti: Thanks Irwin!
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @5:53 Does exactly what it says on the tin.
	5:56pm rf: ↳ Song: "Three Little Birds" by "Beth and Twenty Little Bi... great
	5:56pm katharsis: Sweet soothing tunes today. Thank you

	3:05pm Andrea C: Hi Irwin and everyone.
	👻 3:05pm Karl Ward: ↳ swivs @3:04 I think it's because Hungry Joe coined the phrase "there's a Van Morrison fan born every minute"
	3:06pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Well. I think we’re all early awating Gus Bodenheims next angry tirade.
	3:08pm Carmichael: Taste the biscuit in the basket out of the rain.
	👻 3:08pm Franco Twinkie: Hello Irwin.
	3:08pm Matt_: ↳ Song: "Basket, Biscuit, Rain" by "Erik Friedlander" I can almost, um, taste the biscuit
	3:09pm Carmichael: A set of biscuit-themed songs, perhaps? Or Bisquick-themed songs ...
	👻 3:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Carmichael @3:09 Bisquick and then the lash!
	3:11pm northguineahills: what is this about soggy biscuits?
	3:12pm Cooh John: Hello Irwin and irwits.
	3:13pm Carmichael: Gus is FMU's version of Basil Fawlty.
	👻 3:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @3:11 If you think of the disappointment in life as a soggy biscuit, when you choke on a chicken bone as your swan song, everything will fall into place as you take your last breath.
	3:15pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Gus is always upset about something
	3:17pm f0Fo (: Can I Irequest for Gus Bodenheim to review the Eurovision 2023 finale?

	3:20pm Irwin: Today's Gus is really irate. Steer clear.
	3:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:15 if we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. checkmate....

	3:24pm Gainstagerliquid90: Just visited a jazz record shop in midtown near Chelsea. Good records but even better CD collection
	3:25pm northguineahills: man city up 1-0 over real madrid...
	3:25pm Monica: greetings, irwin and irwin-ites.
	3:25pm Irwin: ↳ lieutenant lambrusco @3:24 They really turned this upside-down in a brilliant way.
	3:25pm f0Fo (: Precisely why I'd like Gus to review Eurovision. A furious analysis of it.
	3:25pm northguineahills: i can't take credit (zap brannigan from futurama)
	3:28pm brainiac: ↳ Song: "Cello Song" by "Fontaines D.C." I first heard of this band last week. Can someone tell me what the D.C. stands for?
	3:29pm Mortricia: I know you've said before and I apologize for my lack of memory (or apparently note-taking) but what is your "talk-over" music. I just love it!
	3:29pm Matt_: ↳ brainiac @3:28 Dublin City - they had to add it to distinguish from another band (and are from Dublin)
	3:29pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ brainiac @3:28 Dane Cook
	3:30pm brainiac: ↳ Matt_ @3:29 Thanks, Matt!
	3:32pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @3:29 Last time I tried that he was underdone

	3:33pm Gainstagerliquid90: Lol @" look him up" and "dynamo"
	3:33pm Mup Mahoy: Maxwell Bodenheim was born on May 26th, 1892

	3:36pm brainiac: My favorite Max Bodenheim work was Naked On roller Skates m.media-amazon.com...
	3:37pm Gainstagerliquid90: Lol
	3:37pm Irwin: ↳ brainiac @3:36 Don't overlook "Replenishing Jessica."
	3:38pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ sydnius @3:32 Is that a cook reference?
	3:38pm chresti: Ergonomica Rising?
	3:39pm Blissland: excellent
	3:40pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @3:38 It was a cooking a Dane reference
	3:40pm Matt_: ↳ sydnius @3:40 Dane, cook!
	3:41pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: I’m surprised! That’s the most coherent I’ve heard Gus yet. He must have been off the “sauce” for longer than a week
	👻 3:41pm Franco Twinkie: Righteous indignation never sounded so, so overdressed for the beach?
	3:41pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ sydnius @3:40 In that case, well played sir
	3:43pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @3:41 aww pshaw I give myself 2.5/5, I have many notes

	3:54pm Irwin: ↳ steveo @3:53 I'm not terribly calendar-driven either.
	3:55pm Handy Haversack: I have to drive my calendar home, I'm afraid. I will hopefully catch the third third from friendlier shores. Thanks, Irwin!
	3:55pm northguineahills: WFMU is my calendar. Fill-in djs discombobulate my temporal awareness...
	3:56pm luka: ↳ Song: "Joiner" by "Blondshell" this is sublime
	👻 3:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Irwin @3:54 A calendar with "This Day in Bodenheim History" would be neat.
	3:59pm northguineahills: hither, hether, and heather...
	4:00pm steveo: In the town where I was born
	4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'ello me good fine Men of the Bunco...
	4:03pm The Oscar: I remember as a kid going with my dad to his office and seeing that he had exactly three pictures hung in his cubicle: me, my mom, and Thelonious Monk.
	👻 4:03pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @3:55 If discombobulation is a result of the custard like posey imbued therein, consider a trip to the laundromat instead.
	👻 4:06pm Franco Twinkie: Jazz is jizz I read someplace. Correct me if I'm speaking out of class.
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As vast & varied & significant & deep & mysterious as the great Continent of Jazz is - it's surprisingly easy for me to tag my Faves : Coltrane #1 ...& Monk 2nd only to him ...then yeah the vertical distances get larger for a but - & then less exactly perpendicular... Actually think of Monk as like SydBarrett - in someone not strictly NeuroNormal giving us one transparent window into an entirely other mode of perception. Art can do many things - but that's probly one of the rarest ~ most rarified...
	4:08pm Blissland: I think the Pop music genre proper came into being just incidentally in the early 70s when the styles began to diverge from actual commercial appeal. So ironically you get Pop music that's not really popular.
	4:09pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:08 2 of my most favorite as well.
	4:09pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" This is pop, jazz, jam, country, and fusion.
	4:09pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Bobby!
	👻 4:10pm Franco Twinkie: ...speaking of the early 70's!
	4:10pm hilaryprudy: What!
	4:10pm Mortricia: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Thanks! efd's Rose City Band tune had the Dead in my head so this is a nice treat.
	4:11pm The Butterman: Bizarre choice! And I’m a Deadhead!
	4:11pm Mortricia: ↳ The Butterman @4:11 Agreed but I'll take what I can get since there aren't a lot of FMU DJs that seem to dig the Dead.
	👻 4:12pm Karl Ward: ↳ Irwin @4:09 It's 10/4 time, so it's also prog
	4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Unpopular Pop' - yeah the word can mean two things ...or @ least two (I suppose) - namely, releases actually Popular ...well, what does that mean. How many Copies produced, distributed & heard by how many people - much less purchased ...that's a whole discussion ...but maybe not too painful a one ...or - Stylistic markers like upbeat melodicism as a Genre...
	👻 4:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" The Dead sandpapered all the Aoxomoxoa off for this one.
	4:13pm The Butterman: ↳ Mortricia @4:11 True.
	4:13pm Irwin: ↳ The Butterman @4:11 I never tire of this. The guitar, the piano, the drums, the 10/4. It's magnificent. I don't know any other song by Weir - not one.
	4:13pm sydnius: ↳ Mortricia @4:11 There are surprisingly few plays of “China Cat Sunflower” wince 2002
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" When they put out Solo albums that got subsumed into the Dead repertoire anyhow ??
	4:13pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:12 I was thinking of groups like Fotomaker, Flamin' Groovies, Starz, maybe to a lesser extent Rockpile since they were sort of popular
	4:14pm Irwin: ↳ sydnius @4:13 I played a cover by Lane Steinberg from his EP "Lane Plays Dead." It's on Bandcamp.
	4:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Mortricia @4:11 dj jesse jarnow not only digs the dead, he also does a certain official podcast about them. (see tuesday evenings 9-12 edt)
	4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Surely that's Jerry noodling.
	4:14pm Blissland: Pop became a genre unto itself irrespective of commercial considerations
	4:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:13 Well - then there's PowerPop...
	4:14pm Mortricia: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:13 Most of the people on here are Dead or Dead adjacent. Basically the solo's gave that person a little more say in the direction. But that's really the only big difference.
	4:15pm Irwin: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:14 Wherever this song meanders, it always lands in the right place.
	4:15pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:14 Unpopular pop, or dare I say "Hipster music"
	4:15pm Mortricia: ↳ northguineahills @4:14 Wow! Had no idea! Thanks man. I'll check it out.
	4:15pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:14 Exactly, although in that case ther are a lot of actually popular acts such as the Raspberries and Badfinger.
	4:15pm The Butterman: Shoulda played a 45 min long version from ‘73.
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:14 ...but if you're talking to a Billboard magazine worker, Pop may still mean the latter. If that's not too archaic a reference...
	4:16pm Mister Dobalina: Happy birthday, Taj Mahal..
	4:16pm Blissland: Pop now in industry terms I'm sure means something I could not recognize.
	4:16pm rsj: endless AI dead, what a sweet nightmare
	4:17pm jan: A new Dead cut for me to enjoy- never got past the sour sounding lyrics of this song before, to appreciate the instrumental jamming. The other cut was Dark Star on Live Dead
	4:17pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Irwin @4:15 It's a miracle, and totally true. A low impact example of musical brinkmanship.
	4:17pm sydnius: Morning Dew, Europe ‘72
	👻 4:18pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" When I asked my sister what she remembered about seen The Dead in 1971, the guffawed "Ogling Bob Weir!"
	4:18pm Gainstagerliquid90: Jazz was called Jazz by critics, not by musicians. And aren't there 4 or 5 evolutions within that genre. Would there be reiterations if there is no one trying to categorize music in a box?
	4:19pm Blissland: I'm partial to post-bop for some reason
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - the idea that the Dead cannot play, sing, write or record - there is evidence to the contrary that they were pretty Musical & serious about it all ...tho of course they never stopped showing up in places & playing - without aggressive ambitions. So meandering became a feature not a bug in their universe (they after all gestated in the Acid Tests - not a Club like everyone else ever)...
	4:19pm brainiac: ↳ Song: "Playing in the Band" by "Bob Weir" Songs from Ace that all became GD staples: Playing In The Band Looks Like Rain Mexicali Blues One More Saturday Night
	4:20pm chresti: Jazz-a-ma-tazz
	4:20pm Irwin: ↳ brainiac @4:19 Guess I should check out the rest of the album? It's only been out for 48 years.
	4:20pm wind: Wow wow whot is this!? So good 😎
	4:21pm brainiac: ↳ Irwin @4:20 Do as thou wilt, man.
	👻 4:22pm Franco Twinkie: Bravo!!
	4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sexy Sadie" by "Reno Bo" Pretty faithful cover ...which in this case is admirable & gratifying. To take on Lennon's vocal is one of the highest bars imho. Didn't Paul Weller take a crack @ this ?
	4:24pm Blissland: I guess Big Star didn't have too much commercial success either. Not to beat a dead horse but it was a glaring oversight not to mention them in that context.
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:24 I mean they got the sound down very very well.
	4:25pm Irwin: ↳ Song: "Drift of Things" by "The Spires" EFD aired earlier. I was already committed to it for today's show.
	4:35pm Blissland: Yes I did Irwin, it was beautiful
	👻 4:35pm 12539: ↳ Song: "Eallin" by "Leagus" I enjoyed the Leagus, Irwin.
	4:36pm coelacanth∅: i liked that track.
	4:36pm Matt from Springfield: This weekday has been a pretty weak day! Glad to hear and see you great people here! Hola Irwin y buddychums.
	4:37pm Mortricia: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:18 Bobby in cut off shorts! Even with his preppy polo (!).
	👻 4:37pm Franco Twinkie: Interesting revelation, Irwin.
	4:39pm Matt from Springfield: One step closer to self-aware neurotic consciousness..
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or 'Popular Music' - which after all is different words than just 'Pop'. Which could mean anything not 'Serious' or 'Academic' or Traditional Regional Ethnic Folk or something... A great & confounding thing about Modernism & the 20th Century is all the Labels began to melt &/or get translucent due to various technologies & sociologies... In fact I posit the fact alone that the Population of the World has doubled in my lifespan alone strains the definitions of 'Folk' or 'Popular' or 'Classical' ...the idea that 1960s 'Pop' like TheBeatles is 'Classical' seems to be coming into more relief recently among some - I reckon we've long behaved as if this were so...
	👻 4:39pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mortricia @4:37 Some of his outfits - OY! But he got the girls, right?
	4:39pm coelacanth∅: i can't stand Weir's voice/singing (post ~1968) so i don't like ace. ...if you think the 'dead is a crappy rock band you haven't heard the first album or "vintage dead" - by far their best 2 albums.
	4:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Matt!
	4:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:40 Greetings, coela! Thank YOU, Scott and Swagsters!
	4:41pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:39 What's the difference between Spice Girls and "Smack My B___ Up" by Prodigy?
	4:41pm Blissland: ugh ... the world population of people has about tripled since I was born
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Blissland @4:41 yeah. we're fucked.
	4:43pm Blissland: Anyway I was probably thinking of power pop, I just don't remember hearing that term until much later on. I don't know when that term was coined.
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: (pun intended)
	4:43pm sydnius: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @4:41 I never was good at integrals ∫
	4:43pm Blissland: It's not just more people, they keep getting worse too
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Gainstagerliquid90 @4:41 - distinct demographics they chose to pander to - with precisely proportion sales (tho both large). Which makes the point that Pop is often specifically Commercial in intent ...& likely Disposable & temporary like Fast Food (with which it shares even a name)... Whereas 'Classical' has a specific subtextual implication of something Permanent & of lasting value...
	4:46pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:45 The ultimate "catalogue" tracks. Even "library" or "archival" tracks for their preservation...
	👻 4:46pm Karl Ward: Now I want to hear power classical
	4:46pm Blissland: Yet a lot of pop records turned out to have timeless appeal
	4:47pm Irwin: ↳ Karl Ward @4:46 One moment, pls.
	4:47pm sydnius: ↳ Karl Ward @4:46 Speedfolk, oh that’s just bluegrass
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:43 Pete Townshend probly coined the term 'Power Pop' in 1966 to distinguish themselves (TheWho) from the 'heavier' groups coming along - whose Weaponry was pioneered by TheWho in fact...
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Karl Ward @4:46 "Power pop" Classical.. Power "rock" Classical.. Power "metal" Classical.. "Electronic" Classical.. Many ways one can take with that prompt.
	4:48pm Blissland: I always thought the Who were just about the heaviest thing
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:46 Indeed. & a subjective & debatable criterion of course...
	4:48pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ sydnius @4:47 Klezmer too is a type of "speed folk".
	👻 4:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:45 If everyone who eats fast food decided to pull fruit off trees instead, I'd be in deep shit.
	4:49pm Irwin: ↳ Blissland @4:48 As such, the opposite of The Free Design.
	4:49pm Blissland: They should have speed classical. Most of those symphonies are way too long.
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:48 Yes but they were a Singles Band earlier. & then into the 1970s became Heavier & Arena Rawk par excellence...
	4:50pm Blissland: ↳ Irwin @4:49 Can't say I'm familiar with The Free Design.
	4:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Blissland @4:50 the free design will show you that kites are fun!
	4:51pm Irwin: ↳ Blissland @4:50 The lightest band ever.
	👻 4:51pm Karl Ward: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:48 I guess I mean extremely catchy classical music with fairly straightforward chord changes and lyrics about being a teenager, also the pieces have to be between 2 and 3 minutes long, and you have to be able to drink and smoke at the shows, and you probably have to stand at the shows, also it's dark, lyrics have to be pretty straightforward, definitely need kit drums, probably a couple guitars, a bass, one lead singer and some backup singers doing harmony, maybe we can move some of the orchestral instruments to the side of the stage...
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @4:49 Most Digital players allow one to change Speeds without Pitch alteration now... Of course the Time investment of Attention is the whole Medium is Massage of Symphonies one reckons ...& is why we rarely do...
	4:51pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:50 That's true but they always had that raunchy heavy sound even if the songs were lighter
	4:51pm sydnius: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:49 Thank you for leaving my Reuben intact
	4:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @4:49 So light and floating!! Kites Are Fun! So are Bubbles!!
	4:52pm Irwin: ↳ Irwin @4:51 Not a diss. They're terrific. Genius, even.
	4:52pm coelacanth∅: yesterday had a good conversation with someone with whom most of our good conversation is about music. known him for ...10 years? neither of us knew the other liked classical music. so now we each have a few things to check out from the other's ... same person (a bass player) had high praise for Phil Lesh -saying something i've never realised - that Phil plays 'around' the expected notes, or phrases... i said that's a lot like avant jazz.
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Irwin @4:52 what Irwin said!
	4:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ northguineahills @4:51 Well played! I finally get to shake fist at you, instead! 😁
	4:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:52 a rarity on my end, i must admit 😁
	👻 4:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ sydnius @4:51 Don't get me wrong, I eat tacos from street vendors.
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:52 It characterized the Psychedelic Movement that people of different backgrounds became Open to each other. Lesh was from a Classical - & an Avant-guard background. Jerry from Folk & Country & so on...
	4:54pm Blissland: Phil Lesh does dance around a whole lot.
	4:54pm sydnius: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:54 I mean… 🌮
	👻 4:54pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Karl Ward @4:51 you're describing a Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds show i was at several years ago w/Oakland Children's Choir during several tunes.
	4:54pm Blissland: on the bass I mean
	4:55pm listener 126464: Try searching for a The Free Design t-shirt.
	4:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Karl Ward @4:51 Oh yeah, like Falco and "Rock Me Amadeus"! Making pop out of Classical..
	👻 4:55pm chris in the redwoods: also, hello, all!
	👻 4:56pm egould: I don’t understand half of what you people are discussing musically. All I know is that the music being piped in the bar of the Chili’s I’m at is plenty for me.
	4:56pm brainiac: Kite ARE Fun
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Karl Ward @4:51 The advent of Drums in all our U.S. American Forms deriving from African(-American) sources (& maybe even First Nations people - which the Africans were too) - cannot be underestimated. Trap Sets btw are short for Contraption ...cause one person playing many Drums is practically Novel in all the prior History of every Culture...
	4:56pm brainiac: *s
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: right on Rabbit, i didn't know that. i know little about Lesh. but i like his playing.
	4:57pm Blissland: Kites are a good excuse to go outdoors in the spring
	4:57pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ egould @4:56 ftw!
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: ola chris (itr)
	4:57pm Handy Haversack: Back home! Gonna put the radio in the window and go sit outside with a cocktail. But we'll be listening. Cheers, Irwin and all the Irwingers!
	👻 4:58pm chris in the redwoods: hey, coel! cheers, Handy and K8!
	4:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" Wow! A fan mix of Scott Williams' talkover music, they even added lyrics!!...
	4:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 ...what will Irwin come up with next...
	4:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 snert!
	👻 4:59pm Karl Ward: ↳ egould @4:56 Man that Chili's must be cool as hell
	4:59pm jan: Dusty! Such a sweet memory to abut the reality of today’s subway
	5:00pm Charley Brown∅: i don't think kites are fun at all.
	5:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 I was once confused about subways and pouring rain, then I found out that in Britain a "subway" is a pedestrian crossing underneath a road, so that makes better sense. "The Tube" is their term for subterranean rail.
	5:00pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" The great and weird '90s Canadian sitcom Twitch City had an episode where the protagonist is going crazy trying to place the tune his downstairs neighbor's band is constantly playing, and in the end he realizes it's a slow, sludgy cover of "Don't Sleep in the Subway." Great show.
	5:00pm northguineahills: I used to love to sleep on the subway on the way home from work. I'd always wake at my stop...
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I wonder if Kites enjoy flight or are terrified...
	5:01pm jan: Oh my bad - Petula
	5:01pm sydnius: ↳ northguineahills @5:00 …preposition trouble
	5:01pm brainiac: I once slept in the subway 'til the end of the line. That was not fun.
	5:01pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:59 There's a certain dolorose piece of Scott's I hope they don't do lyrics for. It would lose that lovin' feelin'.
	👻 5:02pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:57 Before I was aware of Phil Lesh's playing as a 'thing,' I listened to to The Eleven with headphones on in a barn in Santa Cruz with part of the roof missing. After that I knew.
	5:02pm coelacanth∅: he was a zoomer ahead of his time
	5:02pm Blissland: Hey but at least Petula got a hit song out of it
	👻 5:02pm egould: ↳ Charley Brown∅ @5:00 Thank you. I enjoy humor.
	5:03pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" I still don't know the implication of "the why and wherefore"...
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Petula much more ...'Pop'. Tho had a background in Theater & jumped the Brit Invasion bus... & maybe Dusty sold more (was 'Popular') ? :D ...
	👻 5:03pm Karl Ward: I used to fall asleep on the subway all the time, and I think I'm a catch
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: Franco, "the eleven"?
	5:04pm Wretch: Pretty sure Ellen DeGeneres did a bit about Don't Sleep in the Subway back in the Carson days
	5:05pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Takes Me Over" by "Pale Blue Eyes" Qu-ality 80s alternative sound, TODAY!
	5:05pm Irwin: ↳ Wretch @5:04 Who?
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:02 "Don't Sleep in the Subway", b/w "Fine! Be That Way!"
	5:06pm brainiac: ↳ Song: "Takes Me Over" by "Pale Blue Eyes" This is about as diametrically opposed to the VU as you can get
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Sleep in the Subway" by "Petula Clark" It's an interesting bit of Pop to look into. There's subtext about Homelessness & Sleeping Together ...he's a Mod Hobosexual I reckon...
	5:06pm Irwin: ↳ brainiac @5:06 It's just a name, like One Hour Dry Cleaning.
	5:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:06 haha!
	5:07pm Blissland: hobosexual ...
	5:07pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:06 "Hobosexual" - nice. Could be about a "slummer" trying to turn her "Bo" beau into a "BoBo" beau...
	5:07pm chresti: ↳ Charley Brown∅ @5:00 Kites are a lot of work. Then they crash into something.
	5:08pm Blissland: I wonder how many pop songs of that era have a heavy psychological subtext ... I think Georgy Girl is another
	5:08pm wenzo: There’s a kite festival coming up around here… thanks for reminding me
	👻 5:09pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:04 Live Dead.
	5:09pm coelacanth∅: i wouldn't mind checking out a kite festival. didn't know those existed.
	5:10pm Mortricia: ↳ Franco Twinkie @4:39 Indeed, he was definitely the "chick magnet" of the group in the day. Even now he's in great shape (old man arms not withstanding) but who would have thought he'd age into "Robert E Lee" (looks only - politics still def north of the Mason/Dixon line).
	5:10pm Gainstagerliquid90: ↳ Blissland @5:08 Most bands say that's an afterthought to creating a song which is interesting to me.
	5:11pm Blissland: I guess Georgy Girl is different since it was written for the movie
	5:11pm wenzo: They do in Detroit… and Japan I think? Probably lots of places.
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: oh, Franco that's the one album he mentioned! (and not one of the ones i have; but i can find it online) Thanks
	5:11pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Irwin @5:06 Or this one.
	5:12pm Aaron Working In Newark: NICE!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @5:08 I posit the 1960s are broadly about Innocence & the loss thereof (Experience). & the excelerated thrills & demoralization of all the potential extremes & intermediary steps between them... all the exquisite & the crushing states that can be charted in that territory - personally, culturally & globally...
	5:12pm wenzo: Apparently there was one at the Brooklyn bridge park last Saturday
	5:13pm Blissland: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:12 That's eloquent. And sounds about right.
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:12 *accelerated - en excelsis...
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "The World's on Fire" by "Strawberry Alarm Clock" Sort of thing reminds me of NYC's own Morgen. If less intelligent. Great track in other words...
	5:15pm Blissland: The 60s were so full that it had to take up most of the 70s too
	5:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The World's on Fire" by "Strawberry Alarm Clock" Juicy artyfact here. Approve.
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @5:15 Pretty good yerself there...
	5:15pm chresti: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:06 I'm imagining Petula singing this to a hobo sleeping in a subway
	5:16pm Mortricia: ↳ Wretch @5:04 It wasn't Elaine Boosler? She also said once that as opposed to some poeple in Hollywood, she sleeps with people who can do her absolutely no good career-wise. She picked them bc she liked them, as foolish as that is. /s
	5:17pm Blissland: De-moralization is a key word. It's where all the freedom stems from, i.e free love, and also the conflict of the generation gap
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chresti @5:15 The Economic Class situation in the 1960s was significant ...we struggle to imagine a Society before even 70s Inflation - when the Wages to Cost metric began to be so rudely manipulated... In other words - Society was in Tumult - but there was still plenty of Money, dammit...
	5:19pm Blissland: Maybe that can be traced back to the 50s, but the 50s counter-culture was nothing near the phenomenon of the 60s
	5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Blissland @5:19 "Greenwich Village became the World.' - Roger McGuinn
	5:20pm Gainstagerliquid90: So what happened when Uncle Sam kicked everyone in the butt during the '70s?
	👻 5:21pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mortricia @5:10 Since Bob is obviously on your radar, I must share this: In 1966 The Dead were hiding out in L.A. My friend Mark knew them from the Stanford/Palo Alto folk scene. He dropped in for a visit. They had a dope room upstairs. They were sitting around smoking a joint and Bob casually mentioned that he showed Neil Cassidy how to roll a joint. Jerry Garcia raised his eyebrows "Neil was rolling joints while you were still in diapers!" Undaunted Bob said "Well, I showed him a new way."
	5:22pm chresti: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:18 Dropping out and taking drugs..
	5:22pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Prelude to a Kiss" by "Charles Mingus & Red Norvo" Aw, I love this stuff.
	👻 5:22pm egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:21 …and that’s how the word “weird” entered the lexicon.
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @5:15 Lucky hobo
	5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chresti @5:22 Right. What's the worst that can happen ...we won't like - starve or anything...
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:21 Bob also thought/thinks he could come within a zillion miles of adequately filling the gap Pig Pen left.
	👻 5:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:25 Mark also told me Pig Pen was very quite AND serious!
	5:28pm Mortricia: ↳ Franco Twinkie @5:21 LOL That sounds spot on for both Bobby and Jerry! Love that anecdote!
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:25 Tho what choice did any of them have. Pigpen brought the Blues & R&B. Always thot of Weir as the most BeachBoys ~ Ramones of the Dead - younger & the Rock'n'Roll kid ...which was good for them, but frankly maybe the least interesting...
	5:29pm coelacanth∅: Franco that's just how i've always seen Pig pen
	👻 5:29pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Twist" by "Lorkin O'Reilly (ft. Laura Quirke)" Wow.
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah affected a Biker look as Armor.
	👻 5:30pm rrg: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" A perfect tune to follow the previous one.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rrg @5:30 Word.
	5:31pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite Joni songs
	5:31pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" YES!!! This is a lovely song from Joni, always wished this got better exposure!
	5:31pm Irwin: ↳ rrg @5:29 There's another version he recorded without Laura.
	👻 5:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:29 Mark liked The Dead well enough, but it was Owsley's girlfriend he was REALLY interested in.(They lived in the same house as The Dead)
	5:32pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" Dreams for a dollar down? Wow, those were the days.
	5:32pm Mortricia: Yeah the sound with and without Pig was very different. Bobby does the cowboy tunes better - that's more his forte I think. That and the pop-rock (Need a Miracle, etc). I can understand old Deadheads that weren't keen on the post-Pigpen years. We struggle with the post Jerry years, so I totally get it. Shrug. Different strokes and YMMV.
	5:32pm Chris Hiatt: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:31 Mine too.
	5:33pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Morning Morgantown" by "Joni Mitchell" "...are all the mornings, still to live..." 💖

	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mortricia @5:32 ...maybe the Dead are like Middle-earth ...we all have our ideal Mythological Vision & resent all others ...& of an afternoon may stumble into Awe there unexpectedly anyhow... Faerie is a Perilous Land...
	5:36pm Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: ↳ Song: "The World's on Fire" by "Strawberry Alarm Clock" These guys could really play. Who knew?

	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ @5:36 Got that one's groove anyhow. Presuming it weren't Studio people. Let's say not...
