	9:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ticket to Ride" by "Cathy Berberian" now this is the cathy bererian we love (although her werks w/ berio are nice too)
	9:06pm Dean: ...and her Monteverdi.
	9:06pm Charlie: Wow, I turn my back, and it's standing room only! Hi everyone!
	👻 9:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ticket to Ride" by "Cathy Berberian" I was getting them table set, not paying too much attention, then realized what this was, and cracked up! Hi Charlie and Busy Bodies!
	9:07pm Webhamster Henry: Top this, Mary Wing 🛎️ !

	9:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:07 mary wing voice "challenge accepted!"

	👻 9:08pm doctorjazz: Love bluegrass and Reggae takes on pop/rock!
	9:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:08 drink some down!
	9:10pm Dean: I believe you are correct, ngh, re: Berberian's spousal arrangement.
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: The Radio Is Broken is broken but it's convalescing on some primo pharmaceuticals and listening to this awesome show.
	9:13pm Webhamster Henry: This is going to be fun...
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: Paul McCartney invented the coda?!?!? Wow. Texting all my friends.
	9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: Are you going to play "Leader of the Laundromat" too? That probably has a coda.
	9:15pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:15 I don't think I have it! My collection is lacking.
	9:16pm Charlie: Hey Rich! Hope your pharmaceutical haze improves the show for you;)
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @9:15 If I recall correctly, it's pretty terrible, so your collection is just fine.
	9:16pm spodiodi: greetings, Charlie and all
	9:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 Oy gevalt! Feel better soon, Rich.
	9:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey spodi! Hey Dionne! Hey Burt Bacharach!
	9:18pm spodiodi: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:15 hi Wendy! i need to hear that
	9:18pm Charlie: hiya, btw, to: chresti, Yvang, Dean, tom tom, ngh, dr j, Gregory, spodi!
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: this coda is a little bacharach doing supremes, i think...
	👻 9:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just One Smile" by "Blood, Sweat & Tears" THE version of BST!accept no substitute!
	9:21pm Listener Gregory: Burt Bacharach songs have many surprising parts. (That is my technical description, for the cognoscenti.)
	9:21pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Just One Smile" by "Blood, Sweat & Tears" The Al Kooper years.
	9:21pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @9:21 My fave version too:)
	9:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ spodiodi @9:18 spodi, it's done by... ...wait for it... The Detergents. :-D
	9:21pm Dean: I'm partial to BLT, Blood, Lettuce & Tears.
	9:22pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 I'm not sure the Supremes had had big hits before that record
	9:23pm Charlie: This fugue isn't even the coda...
	9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @9:21 This totally made me giggle out-loud. And not just because I dreamed about lettuce the other night. (True story.)
	9:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:21 I'm more of a blood, liz truss, and tears kind a guy... /wendy!
	9:23pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:21 Cut your lettuce more carefully Dean!
	9:24pm Dean: I love making folks GOL, Wendy. You do NOT want to hear what I dreamed about a couple nights ago.
	9:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:23 :-D
	9:25pm Dean: One shouldn't cut lettuce. One should tear it.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: he's a good mouse
	9:25pm Listener Gregory: Totally forgot the ending of Just One Smile.
	9:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Bike" by "Pink Floyd" Oh yeah! This song's coda is epic.
	9:26pm chresti: Yeah- the whole world is dying!!😁
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: hello Charlie and others
	9:27pm Charlie: Someone asked, Can noise be a coda? Yeah, sure, why not?!
	9:27pm spodiodi: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:21 perfect!
	9:27pm chresti: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:26 And yeah too!
	9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @9:25 You are correct! One also shouldn't refrigerate a tomato unless one had cut into it. And this has been a public service announcement from the Better Salad Bureau.
	9:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @9:22 that's a good point, did not have much confidence in my remark...
	9:28pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Bike" by "Pink Floyd" Coda concrète
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: i often cut lettuce with a scissor. it is the correct thing to do.
	👻 9:29pm doctorjazz: Killing it, Charlie!!!!!
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:28 Hmm... maybe. I cut scallions with scissors sometimes. It's fun. (We take thrills where we can find 'em here in Vermont.)
	9:30pm Roberto: CHArrLiE!
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "One Way or Another" by "Blondie" Another one with a coda I love! I used to date someone who could sing it, and I was impressed.
	9:30pm Listener Gregory: @coel, you will bruise the leaves! It says so in my 1970 cookbook.
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: i remember when this hit the radios. such a revelation!
	👻 9:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:15 I remember Leader of the Laundromats, great/silly version!
	9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: is the blondie coda a switch from major to minor keys?
	9:32pm Dean: Yes, Wendy! Fresh, ripe tomatoes absolutely should not go into the 'fridge.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:30 i use a scissor on food possibly more than i use a knife. it only matters not to cut lettuce if you're not going to eat it right away.
	9:33pm Dean: I like to cube potatoes with a chainsaw.
	9:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:32 True!
	9:34pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:33 Haha. I use scissors to cut my salad. I don't care if I bruise it. Or hurt its feelings.
	9:34pm Charlie: Did I forget to say hi Michael? Hi coelacanth and Roberto:)
	9:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" by "Pet Shop B... Isn't Dusty Springfield doing back-up vocals on this one?
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:30 i don't think that's entirely wrong. if you tear lettuce it courses a natural path between cells, so it won't oxidize as quickly as cutting it, which will cut through cells. but if you're eating it fairly soon it doesn't matter.
	9:36pm Dean: You don't care if you bruise lettuce? That's asteraceae abuse, I hope you realize.
	9:37pm Dean: For me the "tear, don't cut" mandate is all about the aesthetics.
	9:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:35 In the dream I had, I unfolded a Romaine leaf and it was twice the size of a standard pillowcase. I wasn't sure how to cut it, so I just bit into it. It tasted really good.
	9:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:37 And when you woke up, your pillow cover was gone!
	9:39pm Dean: Sometimes a Romaine leaf is just a Romaine leaf.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:37 hahaha ...you could've worn it instead; but then you migh've been in trouble if you got really hungry later in the day.
	9:40pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Bike" by "Pink Floyd" this rules!
	9:41pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:32 i dunno, I'm clumsy as fuck, but I can slice and dice veggies w/ a knife w/o every cutting myself (using a knife for any other purpose, i'll sanguinate myself...)
	9:41pm Dean: I'm now inspired to add to the menu of my imagined restaurant not just Bananas Picasso (a dessert), but also Balsamic Pillow. (Or was that a Jefferson Airplane album?)
	9:41pm Listener Gregory: I would like to clarify that I don't consider trips on private jets with my billionaire friends to be a conflict of interest with my WFMU activities. I have taken musical advice on the matter from Paul McCartney, who confirms this.
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: player #2 and swan dive are buddies. Charlie what was that music bed?
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:41 just say maybe...
	👻 9:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 Was wondering about the bed music as well.
	9:43pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Circle" by "Swan Dive" Aww yeah!
	9:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:39 It was! And my pillow was covered with ranch dressing.
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 (oh i see it's filled in now Thank you)
	9:43pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:41 Is Paul there now?
	👻 9:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bad Smells" by "Glenn Branca" Type, Charlie, Branca...
	9:45pm Dean: Another Jefferson Airplaine-inspired dish: Lapin blanc à la moutarde.
	9:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ELO! Yay!
	👻 9:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:41 Paul has been spotted strolling in a nearby Joisey town a few times, made the local papers.
	9:45pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Mr. Blue Sky" by "Electric Light Orchestra" Aww yeah!
	👻 9:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @9:44 typo... ;-)
	9:46pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Mr. Blue Sky" by "Electric Light Orchestra" You don't need any excuse to play Mr. Blue Sky
	👻 9:47pm doctorjazz: Hittin' those Clicky Stars...
	9:47pm Dean: I might counter that there are so many amazing ELO songs worth airing, from early to late, too.
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:41 i very rarely use a cutting surface, and even though it's nearly as easy to remove the tip of a finger with a scissor as with a knife, it's much easier to get the job done "in the air" with a scissor.
	9:48pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @9:43 No, he charges a very high hourly rate.
	👻 9:49pm doctorjazz: Just burned my thumb tip trying to light a gas grill who's ignition stopped working...
	9:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Mr. Blue Sky" by "Electric Light Orchestra" I like this song, but I feel that it would have been helpful to have an adult edit the lyrics.
	9:50pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:48 i usually don't use a cutting surface unless I'm mincing something good. I can w/ just using the edge of my finger in my sleep. But use scissors for a doc in the office, i'm liable to paper cut myself...
	9:50pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 He'd be asleep now by
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @9:49 i have some medical advice for you, doctor. don't do that again!
	9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: oh no, tuned away for a minute and missed bad smells iirc incorporated in a twyla tharp dance
	👻 9:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 or get longer matches...
	9:51pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Racecar" by "The 3 Clubmen" love this
	9:51pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:50 I think I am too
	9:51pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:49 w/ a kitchen, i never get more than a first degree burn that 45 seconds in cold running water won't cure... (or at least will stop being painful for me)
	9:51pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:50 that is correct:)
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Racecar" by "The 3 Clubmen" Oh haha. I'm catching up with old emails, and I just downloaded this EP because you mentioned it on the gab list, Charlie. :-)
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: my worst burns in the kitchen happen within my mouth. because i'm a dumbass.
	9:53pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 don't stick white iron in your mouth, and you'll be ok...
	👻 9:53pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, loving the show though, will have to check it out in the archives (have a ride to NYC tomorrow, seeing Iris DeMent, will be good car company (while i'm stiiting in traffic). Thanks Charlie, night all!
	👻 9:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @9:51 (it's small, but it blistered, making it at least second degree. Think I'll live, though...)
	9:55pm Charlie: bye, dr j, enjoy Iris!
	9:55pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:54 if you can smell the dermal burn, it's second degree burn..(but i have keen sense of smell)
	9:55pm Dean: I burn my arms all the time on the oven.
	9:56pm Dean: Rather, in the oven.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:50 the only thing i've used a cutting board for in a few years is a hard winter squash i'd use it for watermelon too, but i haven't busted into one of those in probably >10 years...since i grew my own.
	9:56pm chresti: my worst burn was when the dented pot of boiling water tipped over onto my leg
	9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:55 you're only supposed to eat the leavings...
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: 'night, doctor
	9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey, has anyone read the new book about Harry Smith called "Cosmic Scholar"? I just sent a request to the library for it. I'd rather talk about books than kitchen accidents. Sometimes I'm squeamish. :-(
	9:58pm Charlie: Whew! lots of kitchen accidents! I'm glad my quick dinner this evening was an almond butter sandwich (using only a butter knife) and some chips and dip.
	9:58pm northguineahills: it's weird, i'll gush my temple hitting the medicine cabinet washing my face, and leave blood everywhere, but in the kitchen, it's rare I hurt myself...
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:55 haha, i think the doctor knows what a 2nd degree burn is! (you know he's an actual doctor,right?)
	9:58pm northguineahills: err, rarely...
	9:59pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:57 I have not read it, but would like to. I did just check out from the liberry, but have not started, the James McBride book about James Brown.
	9:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:57 can you read that to me for a bedtime story? (loves me some harry smith!)
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @9:56 Youch!
	10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh. Did someone mention Steely Dan earlier this show? Yes. That someone is ME.
	10:00pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:58 yes, a blister indicates a second degree burn, but I can smell it before it the blister occurs (i spent my life working for a physician, my father, and reading jama as a kid)
	10:01pm DJpeterDE: Hey ho drummers! Everyone stay healthy, or at least healthy-ish, please!
	10:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @9:59 Ooh! I'll request that one, too. I tried reading the Sonny Rollins "Saxophone Colossus" (aka Book Colossus because it's 900 pages), but I couldn't finish it in time. It's really good, though.
	10:02pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:00 I missed it, what was the reference?
	10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:59 Aww, a slumber party! Sure. But I also like being read to, so we can pass the book back and forth until someone passes out.
	10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 Right here was my SD reference, Charlie.
	10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJpeterDE @10:01 Hello, DJpeterDE!
	10:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Throw Back the Little Ones" by "Steely Dan" Duane played some steely dan today!
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @10:00 sadly i have almost no sense of smell now. one of the seemingly rare individuals that actually used his smell sense to useful and enjoyable ends and i've about lost it.
	10:06pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Throw Back the Little Ones" by "Steely Dan" May I suggest that the greatest Steely Dan coda is in King of the World (on Countdown to Ecstasy), though it is a theme that has appeared earlier in the song.
	10:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 Ditto, except for that using it for useful and enjoyable ends. However, I used to be able to detect gas leaks.
	10:08pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 I remember when covid first made the scene loss of smell was an early symptom
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:04 peg... picked up on the de la soul sampled bass line for first time
	10:09pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:06 I'm kinda fussy that way. I feel if the material was presented earlier, it doesn't count. Maybe that's a tag? Semantics. But it's my show, dammit! :)
	10:10pm Charlie: ↳ DJpeterDE @10:01 Hiya, DJpeterDE! What's shakin?
	10:10pm Dean: Loss of a sense of humor was another distinctive symptom of COVID infection.
	10:10pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:03 Oh yeah! I even read that, doh. Good one!
	10:11pm Aitch: A bit late, busy doing something
	10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:10 I dunno, Dean. When I had COVID, I called into Seven Second Delay and made Andy Breckman laugh, which is no small feat.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @10:08 yes - probably due to zinc depletion. and it's true i haven't stepped up my zinc intake since i was critically ill 2 years ago. (have i mentioned recently that i'm a dumbass?)
	10:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @10:10 The only thing I lost during COVID was my marbles.
	10:12pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:01 btw, (trying to get back to books) I'm re-reading Deacon King Kong, which I love! bc reading it w my book club in October. Love it even more the 2nd time
	10:12pm chresti: ↳ Dean @10:10 What else, rashes or something?
	10:12pm Dean: Bravo, Wendy, but I wonder how reliable Andy's laughter is as a measure of actual humor. I myself am still recovering...even though I have never (to my knowledge) had COVID!
	10:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @10:10 When I looked up the James Brown book, I realized it was by the same guy who wrote Deacon King Kong, which you recently recommended to me. And, which I also put on hold at RFPL tonight. It'll be a James McBride party!
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: how haven't i heard this Angel Olsen? is it new?
	10:14pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 Came out in the last year or so I think. Excellent album!
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:12 You can go listen to the archives of 7SD if you like. It was the second week of January, 2022. The theme was "call in if you have COVID." What made Andy laugh was when I asked him if his wife had gills.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @10:14 Thanks. -guess i'm a little behind
	10:15pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Swimsuit Issue" by "Sonic Youth" Hell yeah!
	10:15pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Swimsuit Issue" by "Sonic Youth" Really like this record.
	10:17pm Charlie: Hi Aitch!
	10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: The first few bendy guitar notes had me guessing this was Cap'n Beefheart. Good ears, Wendo!
	10:17pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charlie @10:09 I am sure that you are right. However, I love the ending so much that I am sticking to my opinion.
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Veteran's Day Poppy" by "Captain Beefheart" like this has "codas" thoughout, well basically 2nd half is a coda
	10:17pm Charlie: Before anyone cavils, this is kinda really two songs edited together. But they chose to call it one song, so I'll choose to call the second half a coda.
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ chresti @10:15 I built a tower of beer for an ad in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
	10:18pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:17 Oh, tom tom beat me to it!
	10:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:12 speaking of which, I want to do a tribute to brian mcbride (stars of the lid) who passed a few weeks ago (just a few clicks past our age)
	10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @10:18 skin of the ol' teeth..
	10:19pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:17 Yeah, fine line between coda, tag, fade, repeating chorus + riffing.
	10:19pm still b/p: Wisenheimer plate -- but not too bad -- on the car, coel.
	10:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:12 I think I missed the earlier conversation, but that McBride biography (sort of) of James Brown is really tremendous. IMHO!
	10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @10:17 You're the DJ. You get to do whatever the fuck you wanna! (I mean, as long as it doesn't violate station policy...)
	10:20pm Dean: My high school chemistry and physics teacher taught us about the half lives of radioactive atoms by announcing that he would build a shelter out of full beer cans designed to allow him to drink his way out of the shelter in time sufficient to avoid the detrimental effects of radiation.
	10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: two favorites back to back
	10:21pm Dean: I disagree, Wendy. Violate all you want of station policies. What are they gonna do...fire you?! Just don't violate certain federal laws...
	10:21pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Cabinessence" by "Beach Boys" This is by Van Dyke Parks, right?
	10:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:19 Thanks, LG! It looks like I'll start reading it very soon, because my library has it in their collection. Good ol' RFPL! Have you been to our library? It's a Carnegie!
	10:22pm Listener Gregory: Paul Simon has a song for which Phil Glass wrote a coda (so called on the album, I believe), which seemed musically independent of the song, but nonetheless not bad, if my memory is correct.
	10:22pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:19 Speaking of bks about JB, in the 33 1/3 series, former WFMU DJ Douglas Wolk wrote a wonderful book about Live at the Apollo. My fave book I've read in that series! Highly recommeded!
	10:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:21 wilson/ parks
	10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:21 You can disagree all you like, Dean. And when you get a show on GTDR, see how that goes for you.
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @10:19 it's kinda dumb! but i'm more interested in those honeycomb things in the rear window! ?
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day" by "Scala Choir" So sweet.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day" by "Scala Choir" Wow
	10:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:22 The Late Great Johnny Ace on Hearts and Bones. Definite coda!
	10:25pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day" by "Scala Choir" You're gonna reap just what you sow, Charlie.
	10:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: Charlie, the same week you asked the gab list about songs with a coda, I was listening to a lot of Velvet Underground. It seems like all of their songs (and probably most of Lou's) have a coda.
	10:26pm Dean: I've had my, uhm, negotiations with Mr. Freedman. I can handle this. Anyway, I will never get a show on GTDR or WFMU. And I like it that way.
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:21 unless you were just joking...
	10:27pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:26 Lou is coda-happy! This ain't the last we'll hear of him tonight:)
	10:27pm Aitch: Lovely girls choir singing about heroin, how sweet (jane)
	10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @10:27 Yay! I loves me some Lou. But, I'm also getting sleepy. I've been up since a notch after 7, which is early for me.
	10:28pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Ashes to Ashes" by "David Bowie" AW YEAH
	10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Roberto @10:28 What Roberto said!
	10:29pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:28 It is getting late on the east coast:)
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Aitch @10:27 not more absurd than elementary school children singing Leonard Cohen's song about sex! ("hallelujah") ...what they don't know wont hurt them!
	10:31pm Charlie: ↳ Aitch @10:27 I've never felt this song was about doing heroin. Has Lou said it was?
	10:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Ashes to Ashes" by "David Bowie" This whole album is so effin' good.
	10:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:26 I'm no expert on the fine print. but I recognize certain familiar embellishments.
	10:33pm Dean: Our urges to protect children are dysfunctional. We're correct in some vague sense, but our execution almost always fails. Durante: one of the greatest American vocalists.
	10:33pm Doug Schulkind: Good evening, nothingdoers!
	10:33pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:32 The screaming guitar in the title track worth the price of admission alone
	10:33pm Aitch: ↳ Charlie @10:31 What reap is what you sew
	10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Doug!
	10:34pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Young at Heart" by "Jimmy Durante" Second Durante playing of the day on the GTD stream!
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: i've read that perfect day's about heroin, although it seems like a vague interpretation to me. here's Lou's response to that idea: "No. You're talking to the writer, the person who wrote it. No that's not true. I don't object to that, particularly...whatever you think is perfect. But this guy's vision of a perfect day was the girl, sangria in the park, and then you go home; a perfect day, real simple. I meant just what I said."
	10:35pm still b/p: Second Durante number I've heard today. Not many days go that way.
	10:35pm Doug Schulkind: Wendy DF!
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: i'd be fine with a THIRD Durante song before the day's done.
	10:35pm Dean: Never enough Durante. The marvelous Fred Hyatt at KPFK so many years ago played hours and hours of opera. Once, after playing, I dunno, Pavarotti or Schwartzkopf, he announced, "Next, a perfect vocalist." And then he played Durante.
	10:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charlie @10:31 When you think about it, the coda to Perfect Day is very strange. The song is so positive and chill, but the ending seems to be a warning of some kind. "You're gone reap just what you sow" applies negatively and positively, but it's almost always used in negative contexts. Huh!
	10:36pm northguineahills: i know this audience is too hipsterati for contemporary tv shows, but I do suggest 'invasion' (apple +). it takes the view points from three different places on earth, and it take 6ish episodes before you actually start to know wtf is going on, and it can be quite cerebral at times (for normy audiences), but bowie is a piece of the puzzle. also, joy division comes through at an odd moment... ngh's 3 cents...
	10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:32 didn't know if you were being snarky about "ownership" of song, parks did the lyrics , i don't know if he had anything to do w/ the music, bu t music clearly a product of what wilson was doing since good vibrations i.e. cut and paste
	10:37pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @10:36 Just waiting for the whole set to be released, I love that stuff
	10:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 My elderly grandmother loved Durante, especially when he sang "the sad songs." I suspect that she would listen and cry.
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:34 Thank you. I always felt it was about a happy little get together.
	10:37pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:34 that's how i read it when I was young and impressionable..
	10:38pm Roberto: ↳ still b/p @10:35 Uncle Michael played Durante's birthday song to his nose earlier today.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: a friend's dog, Jimmy Durante, checked out of this world not long ago. ...pretty easy to figure out the inspiration for the name. rest in peace.
	10:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @10:37 best to binge it, im(less then)ho
	10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:36 I'm intrigued! Except I don't have any streaming services. (sad trombone) We can watch it when you come visit, perhaps...
	10:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:40 i piggy back on my siblings...(i love them nonetheless)
	10:41pm Dean: An interesting quartet. I like Bowie. The other three you mention, not so much.
	10:41pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @10:39 1st season alright, but the Apple+ shows all so ponderous. High production values, but slow-as. Keen for more Severance
	10:41pm still b/p: ↳ Roberto @10:38 That was it! I'd thought I heard it on local radio while driving, when not listening for a portion of UM's cavalcade of birthday songs today.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:37 Can I say that I always imagined Brian and Van renting a cabin up in the mountains to tinker with ideas that were eluding both of them.
	10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: durante was notorious ly paired w/ buster keaton in early soundies, like paring a very loud kazoo w/ a stradivarious
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:37 his rendition of september song is what opened my mind to Mr. Durante...fortunately when i was just in my 20s. ...the best version of a song that has a million great versions.
	10:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Aitch @10:41 Severance Season 2 was shooting around here before the strike.
	10:42pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "The True Wheel" by "Brian Eno" Awwww YEAH
	10:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @10:41 i prefer slooooooow (just like my music.....) 3.5 hrs of philip glass, yes, i've dj'ed einstein on the beach as the only track at a club...)
	10:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:41 oh, i think they landed a few...
	10:43pm Aitch: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:42 That and Barry my recent(ish) faves, both outstanding
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:37 i mean, we can relate. it has happened!
	10:44pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The True Wheel" by "Brian Eno" looking for a certain ratio myself
	10:44pm still b/p: Enjoyed The True Wheel a lot back in the day, but couldn't have told you until just now that Randi and the Pyramids sing backup.
	10:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @10:42 You are my hero.
	10:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:42 I believe I've heard it, but not for a long time, so I'll look it up. Thx!
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: It sure does! Better that drugs I'd say.
	10:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: One of my favorite Talking Heads songs!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" I love this!
	10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" i still like these early albums up to fear of music
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: favorite 'heads album
	10:48pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" Great track off their best record (for me)
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:45 i should interest you in my glass's music w/ chaning parts beat/note matched w/ boymerang's d&b 'beta'...(accidental at one party, and became a fixture of mine).
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:47 fear of music an easy 2nd, then 77. i don't care at all about any of the others
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @10:49 err, changing parts
	10:49pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 The whole DIY ethos of this track inspirational, been a life theme
	10:49pm Dean: To my ear Talking Heads never approached the achievement of their early promise.
	10:50pm Charlie: I think I love the first 3 albums equally. The rest not as much.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @10:49 your ear's a liar
	10:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:49 TIL Dean had a singular of an ear...
	10:50pm Charlie: Also good 33 1/3 book about Fear of Music, by (iirc) Jonathan Lethem.
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" I saw them twice during this run - at The Roxy, but more importantly, outside at U.C.L.A for free on a Sunday afternoon.
	10:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @10:49 I only understand some of these words, but it does sound very interesting!
	10:51pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:49 Pretty much. The early double live The Name of this band is T Heads brilliant too.
	10:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Charlie @10:50 i dig that series...
	10:51pm Charlie: Makes the case that the title means "fear-of" music, in that all the songs express paranoia about one thing or another.
	10:51pm Dean: All of our ears are liars. Now we have to deal with that fact.
	10:51pm Roberto: LZ's What Is and What Should Never Be has a coda, but it's not on Coda.
	10:52pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Summer" by "Charlotte Hatherley" Aw w aa ww ww YEahhahhhhh
	10:52pm Listener Gregory: I've listened recently to a couple of Talking Heads' lesser albums, but even they are very entertaining, if not reaching the artistic heights of their greatest work.
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Charlie @10:50 Of course. I tried but failed to get Johnathan on a podcast to talk about his book.
	10:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:51 i accidentally had the right pitch control b/tn philip glass and drum and bass and i hit the cross fader, and it was perfect...I then would do it on purpose at warehouse parties, and kids would love the juxtaposition...(boymerang is aka bark psychosis)
	10:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charlie @10:50 I have that upstairs waiting for just the right moment to read. I didn't want to rush it.
	10:55pm Webhamster Henry: I just want to note that Charlie is not the only old school WFMU DJ popping in tonight; John Schnall is doing a Midnight Matinee on Rich's Inflatable Squirrel Carcass show at midnight (EDT) www.wfmu.org...
	10:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:51 hey i dig dean's opinions, and his assessments, as he give me different critiques that i wouldn't have thought of before. that said, i prefer my own assessments, and i'd prefer you to have your own as well...
	10:56pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:55 Wow!
	10:56pm Dean: Well, yeah, they're entertaining. But they aren't good. Byrne and co. thought they were all it, and they paid more attention to superficial presentation than to making music. Sorry. That's how I hear them. Consulting with Eno exacerbated the problem. I regard these folks as fairly lazy artists. Too bad for us.
	10:57pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" He sounded like he's stressed out and wound up tight in those days
	10:57pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The Ocean" by "Led Zeppelin" This the LZ record I'm most likely to play these days, always liked this one
	10:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @10:57 Yeah, I think he was all hopped up then.
	10:58pm Dean: Thanks, ngh.
	10:58pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "The Ocean" by "Led Zeppelin" Another such example.
	10:58pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @10:56 Well I think the first 2 Eno collabs (More Songs, Fear of) were successful fully realized collabs in which Eno expanded what they were doing just enough. Afterwards maybe too much.
	10:59pm chresti: ↳ Dean @10:56 Art school damage?
	10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:56 i think byrne's ascendency and them becoming part of the culture industry also had something to do with downturn
	11:00pm Charlie: and here's the coda:)
	11:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @10:59 I think their presentation and stagecraft was partly an attempt to involve visual artists in their work. It wasn't done by stylists or record company designers, etc.
	11:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Charlie @11:00 code-A?
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @10:56 Live, they were super tight. And whatever you think of him after the fact, David's persona was a perfect delivery medium for those songs.
	11:01pm Charlie: Hi Doug! I missed your entrance:)
	11:01pm Roberto: It wouldn't be Charlie's show without a high school performance!
	11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Satellite of Love" by "Dondero High School Sympho... WOW!
	11:01pm Dean: Heh. One of my favorite albums is My Life... Who'd a thunk?
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @10:58 what i've read is that Eno did not want to work with talking heads after fear of music because he wanted them to do their own thing, and felt they were plenty able. they begged him so he said only if they do something completely different: remain in light.
	11:04pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 Interesting!
	11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: What? Dondero HS couldn't get Bowie to sing back-up on this track?
	11:04pm Listener Gregory: I saw an early concert in the Stop Making Sense tour, and as an audience member having no idea what was going to happen, the experience was utterly astounding and (I felt) musically fantastic. It was one of the great live music experiences of my life. And with that said, I have to leave to watch the 11 o'clock news, in case something has happened somewhere. Thanks a lot, Charlie!
	11:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 ...which is one of my favorite albums of theirs or anyone's.
	11:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 their "copping a feel" on african music did them in imho
	11:05pm Listener Gregory: Wendy, there may be news on the high school football front that we really cannot afford to miss!
	11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:04 Good night, LG. Please let us know if anything has happened, with BUHS football or any other possible event!
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: i think what went wrong with talking heads (and of course some would say NOTHING did) was they realised the formula, exaggerated it, simplified it, popified it for the masses...and lost the cynical edge that started them going in the first place.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 The Remain in Light band was beyond good. I walked to the show on a hot Summer night and was totally disoriented walking home.
	11:07pm still b/p: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:05 The taint of appropriation, or just lousy adaptation/execution?
	11:08pm Dean: Remain in Light was good...except for Byrne, who spoils it for me.
	11:08pm tom tom the pipers son: always surprised how much i like the association when i hear them, quality stuff
	11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Someone should go to Comic Con dressed like Henny Youngman.
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @11:07 i think more than just taint, they lost themselves
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:07 i somehow never saw them perform. my older brother really liked them and saw them many times. remain in light by far his favorite album. could only rave about that tour's band. strangely, despite remain in light being probably more Eno-influenced than any other 'heads album, he never embraced Eno.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:10 hahaha!
	11:11pm Dean: I love Henny Youngman.
	11:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 they got lost in artifice, aside from appropriation issues
	11:13pm northguineahills: every time i put on my cans, it's charlie speaking...hmm...
	11:14pm northguineahills: i guess we're on the same wavelength...
	11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: Yesterday I was listening to Cosmic Slop (the album) in the car and thinking the same thing: George Clinton is an absolute genius.
	11:15pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:14 Awright!
	11:17pm still b/p: After Eno came up in some conversation of ours, my girlfriend was looking at early images of him -- "He's beautiful!"
	11:18pm chresti: ↳ still b/p @11:17 She's got a sharp eye!
	11:18pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk (Pay Attention - B3M)" by "... I've listened to this song so many times over the years (including a few times in the last few days), I can talk along with every aside George utters.
	11:19pm Charlie: "No one knows where the nose goes when the nose blows"!
	11:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @11:18 You should record that for a marathon premium. Or do it for Hoof 'n' Mouth!
	11:19pm northguineahills: ↳ still b/p @11:17 yeah, he's fully, "glambient!"
	11:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk (Pay Attention - B3M)" by "... still can't deny the funk..
	11:20pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @11:18 That's great! I love it when that happens
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: Cordell Mosson on bass y'all
	11:20pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:19 Ha! I'd love to see this as the finale with a cast of thousands!
	11:21pm Charlie: Syndrome, twiddlee-dee-dum, humdrum don't succumb
	11:25pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:20 not Bootsy?
	11:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hark! I hear another Burt Bacharach song! And this Dave Douglas is my favorite version because not only is it really really good, but it dispenses with the horrid lyrics.
	11:25pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Wives and Lovers" by "Dave Douglas" Hey Little Girl, Fix your hair.
	11:25pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @11:25 Cordell Mosson was the bass voice
	11:26pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:25 Exactly! The lyrics are so, um, sexist. I know they were representative of the times in a way, but yuck.
	11:27pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Charlie @11:26 This is a job for: Alternate Lyrics!
	11:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:25 Fix your hair. Comb your makeup.
	11:28pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:27 Make it a Transgender anthem or something.
	11:29pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:28 Song to a drag queen?
	11:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Wives and Lovers" by "Dave Douglas" This whole comp is one gem after another.
	11:30pm still b/p: ↳ Charlie @11:26 There are those still-gobsmacking books and films from the years preceding the song that spelled it all out -- the duties, methods and attitudes, expected and "successful."
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @11:25 apparently Bootsy played only percussion on this album
	11:31pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Charlie @11:29 Well, something Vivian Justin Bond would like to sing.
	11:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @11:29 Or someone can do a reverse of it and change the lyrics. Working title: "Boys and Husbands"
	11:32pm Charlie: ↳ still b/p @11:30 Yup. I love watching the old Perry Mason shows, on which women are all victims, and have no means except to marry and trade on their looks. (and yet I love the show, and feel it treats everyone in a rather humane way, at least PM does) (amd Della)
	11:32pm Listener Gregory: Bellows Falls creamed Springfield, but Brattleboro got embarrassed by Middlebury. Oy! Back to the news.
	11:32pm Listener Gregory: Sorry, that was intended for Wendy!
	11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:32 That's 'cos the BF kids all grew up on Dari Joy. It makes them mean and strong!
	11:33pm Charlie: I know I just played this recently, and I've only done a few fill-ins, but this song has one of the most beautiful, perfect codas!
	11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:33 Well, that's what Dari Joy does for me, at least... (For those unfortunates who have never been to Bellows Falls, Dari Joy is our local burger and ice cream joint.)
	11:34pm Charlie: Also, I generally just recycle the same few thousand songs over annd over;)
	11:35pm Charlie: I've been to Dari Joy! Yay!
	11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: There are scores and scores of reasons I'm happy I moved to Bellows Falls. Dari Joy is near the top of that list.
	11:37pm Charlie: here comes the coda
	11:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oy gevalt. Charlie, I am up past my bedtime, but you keep playing good songs and I can't shut the radio off. But I must! Good night, Charlie! Good night, everyone else! Kisses and hugs all around.
	11:38pm northguineahills: thanks charlie, I gotta run. love my peeps. ciaosers!
	11:38pm still b/p: ↳ Charlie @11:32 I got Perry Mason on right now with the sound down. Cuz "Busy." The period environment is always enjoyable. I don't give a rat's ass who the real perp is or who's gonna freak out in the courtroom.
	11:40pm Charlie: thanks, ngh! seeya
	11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ still b/p @11:38 Hamilton Burger will get pissed. Lt. Tragg will try to pull something vaguely illegal. Perry and Della will gently flirt. Paul will date someone new. Etc. And I love that show and will watch it again and again.
	11:41pm still b/p: Paul's suitjackets, yeahhhh?
	11:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Alright, I'm going to bed for realz now. Nighty-night, everyone!
	11:46pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:41 Night-night, Wendeleh! Dream about giant lettuce!
	11:47pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:40 Yes, I can watch PM over and over. Love it.
	11:48pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @11:34 Everything that's old is new all over again, I say.
	11:48pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Gimme Something Real" by "Ashford & Simpson" When I discovered this album in high school, and then realized A&S wrote so many great Motown songs, esp the duets w Marvin and Tammi, I decided that their songs were what love looked like.
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: 'night Wendy, ngh
	11:49pm tom tom the pipers son: only if godzilla made an appearance in perry mason as an opposing lawyer or something
	11:50pm still b/p: "I recall Mothra to the stand, your honor,"
	11:51pm KWilde: Excellent show. Come back soon
	11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: that's it...
	11:52pm Charlie: ↳ KWilde @11:51 Thanks, KWilde! I'm back on Mon, Sept 11 filling in for Wendy:)
	11:52pm Charlie: I'm liking this Godzilla/Mothra/Perry Mason mashup.
	11:53pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks charlie enjoy you shows...
	11:53pm Charlie: Thanks tom tom:)
	11:54pm Charlie: Speaking of mash-ups, highly recommend Midnight Matinee, filling in for Inflatable Squirrel Carcass on WFMU! Movie dialogue and music mash-ups--brilliant!
	11:54pm spodiodi: fun show, Charlie! thank you!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: noise coda!
	11:55pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Charlie @11:54 Tonight, it's mixing snippets of dialog from Kubrick/Spielberg's AI with musical bits genned by AI.
	11:56pm still b/p: Giving up on fitting "secret de-coda ring" into the conversation. Thanks for a showpiece of a show.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: i'm amused that the last coda of the evening will be "noise"!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: i'm very glad i'm out from work this evening/morning. (not glad it's due to being sick, but...) not only got this whole program but the elusive John Schnall coming up, which i'm stoked for
	11:58pm Charlie: Thanks everyone for hangin' out and stayin' up late! See you next time:)
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Charlie!
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Charlie!
	12:01am Yvang: Thanks for all the codas!
	12:01am Franco Twinkie: Very good gateway to the end of Summer. Thanks Charlie.
	12:01am Webhamster Henry: Thanks Charlie, it's been a fun concept to go with!
	12:02am Charlie: Thanks Henry! Bye, all:)
	10:54am Kim Sorise: ↳ Song: "Satellite of Love" by "Dondero High School Sympho... Dondero of Royal Oak, Michigan - nice. Great show, Charlie!

	9:05pm Michael: Hey Charlie and fellow travelers.
	9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Ticket to Ride" by "Cathy Berberian" Even Cathy Berberian knows there's one roulade she can't sing.
	9:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ticket to Ride" by "Cathy Berberian" now this is the cathy bererian we love (although her werks w/ berio are nice too)
	9:06pm Dean: ...and her Monteverdi.
	9:06pm Charlie: Wow, I turn my back, and it's standing room only! Hi everyone!
	👻 9:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ticket to Ride" by "Cathy Berberian" I was getting them table set, not paying too much attention, then realized what this was, and cracked up! Hi Charlie and Busy Bodies!
	9:07pm Webhamster Henry: Top this, Mary Wing 🛎️ !

	9:10pm Dean: I believe you are correct, ngh, re: Berberian's spousal arrangement.
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: The Radio Is Broken is broken but it's convalescing on some primo pharmaceuticals and listening to this awesome show.
	9:13pm Webhamster Henry: This is going to be fun...
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: Paul McCartney invented the coda?!?!? Wow. Texting all my friends.
	9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: Are you going to play "Leader of the Laundromat" too? That probably has a coda.
	9:15pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:15 I don't think I have it! My collection is lacking.
	9:16pm Charlie: Hey Rich! Hope your pharmaceutical haze improves the show for you;)
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @9:15 If I recall correctly, it's pretty terrible, so your collection is just fine.
	9:16pm spodiodi: greetings, Charlie and all
	9:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 Oy gevalt! Feel better soon, Rich.
	9:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey spodi! Hey Dionne! Hey Burt Bacharach!
	9:18pm spodiodi: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:15 hi Wendy! i need to hear that
	9:18pm Charlie: hiya, btw, to: chresti, Yvang, Dean, tom tom, ngh, dr j, Gregory, spodi!
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: this coda is a little bacharach doing supremes, i think...
	👻 9:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Just One Smile" by "Blood, Sweat & Tears" THE version of BST!accept no substitute!
	9:21pm Listener Gregory: Burt Bacharach songs have many surprising parts. (That is my technical description, for the cognoscenti.)
	9:21pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Just One Smile" by "Blood, Sweat & Tears" The Al Kooper years.
	9:21pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @9:21 My fave version too:)
	9:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ spodiodi @9:18 spodi, it's done by... ...wait for it... The Detergents. :-D
	9:21pm Dean: I'm partial to BLT, Blood, Lettuce & Tears.
	9:22pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 I'm not sure the Supremes had had big hits before that record
	9:23pm Charlie: This fugue isn't even the coda...
	9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @9:21 This totally made me giggle out-loud. And not just because I dreamed about lettuce the other night. (True story.)
	9:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:21 I'm more of a blood, liz truss, and tears kind a guy... /wendy!
	9:23pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:21 Cut your lettuce more carefully Dean!
	9:24pm Dean: I love making folks GOL, Wendy. You do NOT want to hear what I dreamed about a couple nights ago.
	9:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:23 :-D
	9:25pm Dean: One shouldn't cut lettuce. One should tear it.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: he's a good mouse
	9:25pm Listener Gregory: Totally forgot the ending of Just One Smile.
	9:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Bike" by "Pink Floyd" Oh yeah! This song's coda is epic.
	9:26pm chresti: Yeah- the whole world is dying!!😁
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: hello Charlie and others
	9:27pm Charlie: Someone asked, Can noise be a coda? Yeah, sure, why not?!
	9:27pm spodiodi: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:21 perfect!
	9:27pm chresti: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:26 And yeah too!
	9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @9:25 You are correct! One also shouldn't refrigerate a tomato unless one had cut into it. And this has been a public service announcement from the Better Salad Bureau.
	9:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @9:22 that's a good point, did not have much confidence in my remark...
	9:28pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Bike" by "Pink Floyd" Coda concrète
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: i often cut lettuce with a scissor. it is the correct thing to do.
	👻 9:29pm doctorjazz: Killing it, Charlie!!!!!
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:28 Hmm... maybe. I cut scallions with scissors sometimes. It's fun. (We take thrills where we can find 'em here in Vermont.)
	9:30pm Roberto: CHArrLiE!
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "One Way or Another" by "Blondie" Another one with a coda I love! I used to date someone who could sing it, and I was impressed.
	9:30pm Listener Gregory: @coel, you will bruise the leaves! It says so in my 1970 cookbook.
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: i remember when this hit the radios. such a revelation!
	👻 9:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:15 I remember Leader of the Laundromats, great/silly version!
	9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: is the blondie coda a switch from major to minor keys?
	9:32pm Dean: Yes, Wendy! Fresh, ripe tomatoes absolutely should not go into the 'fridge.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:30 i use a scissor on food possibly more than i use a knife. it only matters not to cut lettuce if you're not going to eat it right away.
	9:33pm Dean: I like to cube potatoes with a chainsaw.
	9:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:32 True!
	9:34pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:33 Haha. I use scissors to cut my salad. I don't care if I bruise it. Or hurt its feelings.
	9:34pm Charlie: Did I forget to say hi Michael? Hi coelacanth and Roberto:)
	9:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" by "Pet Shop B... Isn't Dusty Springfield doing back-up vocals on this one?
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:30 i don't think that's entirely wrong. if you tear lettuce it courses a natural path between cells, so it won't oxidize as quickly as cutting it, which will cut through cells. but if you're eating it fairly soon it doesn't matter.
	9:36pm Dean: You don't care if you bruise lettuce? That's asteraceae abuse, I hope you realize.
	9:37pm Dean: For me the "tear, don't cut" mandate is all about the aesthetics.
	9:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:35 In the dream I had, I unfolded a Romaine leaf and it was twice the size of a standard pillowcase. I wasn't sure how to cut it, so I just bit into it. It tasted really good.
	9:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:37 And when you woke up, your pillow cover was gone!
	9:39pm Dean: Sometimes a Romaine leaf is just a Romaine leaf.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:37 hahaha ...you could've worn it instead; but then you migh've been in trouble if you got really hungry later in the day.
	9:40pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Bike" by "Pink Floyd" this rules!
	9:41pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:32 i dunno, I'm clumsy as fuck, but I can slice and dice veggies w/ a knife w/o every cutting myself (using a knife for any other purpose, i'll sanguinate myself...)
	9:41pm Dean: I'm now inspired to add to the menu of my imagined restaurant not just Bananas Picasso (a dessert), but also Balsamic Pillow. (Or was that a Jefferson Airplane album?)
	9:41pm Listener Gregory: I would like to clarify that I don't consider trips on private jets with my billionaire friends to be a conflict of interest with my WFMU activities. I have taken musical advice on the matter from Paul McCartney, who confirms this.
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: player #2 and swan dive are buddies. Charlie what was that music bed?
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:41 just say maybe...
	👻 9:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 Was wondering about the bed music as well.
	9:43pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Circle" by "Swan Dive" Aww yeah!
	9:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:39 It was! And my pillow was covered with ranch dressing.
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 (oh i see it's filled in now Thank you)
	9:43pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:41 Is Paul there now?
	👻 9:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Bad Smells" by "Glenn Branca" Type, Charlie, Branca...
	9:45pm Dean: Another Jefferson Airplaine-inspired dish: Lapin blanc à la moutarde.
	9:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ELO! Yay!
	👻 9:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:41 Paul has been spotted strolling in a nearby Joisey town a few times, made the local papers.
	9:45pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Mr. Blue Sky" by "Electric Light Orchestra" Aww yeah!
	👻 9:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @9:44 typo... ;-)
	9:46pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Mr. Blue Sky" by "Electric Light Orchestra" You don't need any excuse to play Mr. Blue Sky
	👻 9:47pm doctorjazz: Hittin' those Clicky Stars...
	9:47pm Dean: I might counter that there are so many amazing ELO songs worth airing, from early to late, too.
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:41 i very rarely use a cutting surface, and even though it's nearly as easy to remove the tip of a finger with a scissor as with a knife, it's much easier to get the job done "in the air" with a scissor.
	9:48pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @9:43 No, he charges a very high hourly rate.
	👻 9:49pm doctorjazz: Just burned my thumb tip trying to light a gas grill who's ignition stopped working...
	9:49pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Mr. Blue Sky" by "Electric Light Orchestra" I like this song, but I feel that it would have been helpful to have an adult edit the lyrics.
	9:50pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:48 i usually don't use a cutting surface unless I'm mincing something good. I can w/ just using the edge of my finger in my sleep. But use scissors for a doc in the office, i'm liable to paper cut myself...
	9:50pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 He'd be asleep now by
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @9:49 i have some medical advice for you, doctor. don't do that again!
	9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: oh no, tuned away for a minute and missed bad smells iirc incorporated in a twyla tharp dance
	👻 9:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 or get longer matches...
	9:51pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Racecar" by "The 3 Clubmen" love this
	9:51pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:50 I think I am too
	9:51pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:49 w/ a kitchen, i never get more than a first degree burn that 45 seconds in cold running water won't cure... (or at least will stop being painful for me)
	9:51pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:50 that is correct:)
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Racecar" by "The 3 Clubmen" Oh haha. I'm catching up with old emails, and I just downloaded this EP because you mentioned it on the gab list, Charlie. :-)
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: my worst burns in the kitchen happen within my mouth. because i'm a dumbass.
	9:53pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 don't stick white iron in your mouth, and you'll be ok...
	👻 9:53pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, loving the show though, will have to check it out in the archives (have a ride to NYC tomorrow, seeing Iris DeMent, will be good car company (while i'm stiiting in traffic). Thanks Charlie, night all!
	👻 9:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @9:51 (it's small, but it blistered, making it at least second degree. Think I'll live, though...)
	9:55pm Charlie: bye, dr j, enjoy Iris!
	9:55pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @9:54 if you can smell the dermal burn, it's second degree burn..(but i have keen sense of smell)
	9:55pm Dean: I burn my arms all the time on the oven.
	9:56pm Dean: Rather, in the oven.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:50 the only thing i've used a cutting board for in a few years is a hard winter squash i'd use it for watermelon too, but i haven't busted into one of those in probably >10 years...since i grew my own.
	9:56pm chresti: my worst burn was when the dented pot of boiling water tipped over onto my leg
	9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:55 you're only supposed to eat the leavings...
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: 'night, doctor
	9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey, has anyone read the new book about Harry Smith called "Cosmic Scholar"? I just sent a request to the library for it. I'd rather talk about books than kitchen accidents. Sometimes I'm squeamish. :-(
	9:58pm Charlie: Whew! lots of kitchen accidents! I'm glad my quick dinner this evening was an almond butter sandwich (using only a butter knife) and some chips and dip.
	9:58pm northguineahills: it's weird, i'll gush my temple hitting the medicine cabinet washing my face, and leave blood everywhere, but in the kitchen, it's rare I hurt myself...
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:55 haha, i think the doctor knows what a 2nd degree burn is! (you know he's an actual doctor,right?)
	9:58pm northguineahills: err, rarely...
	9:59pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:57 I have not read it, but would like to. I did just check out from the liberry, but have not started, the James McBride book about James Brown.
	9:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:57 can you read that to me for a bedtime story? (loves me some harry smith!)
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @9:56 Youch!
	10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh. Did someone mention Steely Dan earlier this show? Yes. That someone is ME.
	10:00pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:58 yes, a blister indicates a second degree burn, but I can smell it before it the blister occurs (i spent my life working for a physician, my father, and reading jama as a kid)
	10:01pm DJpeterDE: Hey ho drummers! Everyone stay healthy, or at least healthy-ish, please!
	10:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @9:59 Ooh! I'll request that one, too. I tried reading the Sonny Rollins "Saxophone Colossus" (aka Book Colossus because it's 900 pages), but I couldn't finish it in time. It's really good, though.
	10:02pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:00 I missed it, what was the reference?
	10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:59 Aww, a slumber party! Sure. But I also like being read to, so we can pass the book back and forth until someone passes out.
	10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 Right here was my SD reference, Charlie.
	10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJpeterDE @10:01 Hello, DJpeterDE!
	10:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Throw Back the Little Ones" by "Steely Dan" Duane played some steely dan today!
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @10:00 sadly i have almost no sense of smell now. one of the seemingly rare individuals that actually used his smell sense to useful and enjoyable ends and i've about lost it.
	10:06pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Throw Back the Little Ones" by "Steely Dan" May I suggest that the greatest Steely Dan coda is in King of the World (on Countdown to Ecstasy), though it is a theme that has appeared earlier in the song.
	10:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 Ditto, except for that using it for useful and enjoyable ends. However, I used to be able to detect gas leaks.
	10:08pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 I remember when covid first made the scene loss of smell was an early symptom
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:04 peg... picked up on the de la soul sampled bass line for first time
	10:09pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:06 I'm kinda fussy that way. I feel if the material was presented earlier, it doesn't count. Maybe that's a tag? Semantics. But it's my show, dammit! :)
	10:10pm Charlie: ↳ DJpeterDE @10:01 Hiya, DJpeterDE! What's shakin?
	10:10pm Dean: Loss of a sense of humor was another distinctive symptom of COVID infection.
	10:10pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:03 Oh yeah! I even read that, doh. Good one!
	10:11pm Aitch: A bit late, busy doing something
	10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:10 I dunno, Dean. When I had COVID, I called into Seven Second Delay and made Andy Breckman laugh, which is no small feat.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @10:08 yes - probably due to zinc depletion. and it's true i haven't stepped up my zinc intake since i was critically ill 2 years ago. (have i mentioned recently that i'm a dumbass?)
	10:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @10:10 The only thing I lost during COVID was my marbles.
	10:12pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:01 btw, (trying to get back to books) I'm re-reading Deacon King Kong, which I love! bc reading it w my book club in October. Love it even more the 2nd time
	10:12pm chresti: ↳ Dean @10:10 What else, rashes or something?
	10:12pm Dean: Bravo, Wendy, but I wonder how reliable Andy's laughter is as a measure of actual humor. I myself am still recovering...even though I have never (to my knowledge) had COVID!
	10:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @10:10 When I looked up the James Brown book, I realized it was by the same guy who wrote Deacon King Kong, which you recently recommended to me. And, which I also put on hold at RFPL tonight. It'll be a James McBride party!
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: how haven't i heard this Angel Olsen? is it new?
	10:14pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 Came out in the last year or so I think. Excellent album!
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:12 You can go listen to the archives of 7SD if you like. It was the second week of January, 2022. The theme was "call in if you have COVID." What made Andy laugh was when I asked him if his wife had gills.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @10:14 Thanks. -guess i'm a little behind
	10:15pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Swimsuit Issue" by "Sonic Youth" Hell yeah!
	10:15pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Swimsuit Issue" by "Sonic Youth" Really like this record.
	10:17pm Charlie: Hi Aitch!
	10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: The first few bendy guitar notes had me guessing this was Cap'n Beefheart. Good ears, Wendo!
	10:17pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charlie @10:09 I am sure that you are right. However, I love the ending so much that I am sticking to my opinion.
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Veteran's Day Poppy" by "Captain Beefheart" like this has "codas" thoughout, well basically 2nd half is a coda
	10:17pm Charlie: Before anyone cavils, this is kinda really two songs edited together. But they chose to call it one song, so I'll choose to call the second half a coda.
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ chresti @10:15 I built a tower of beer for an ad in a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
	10:18pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:17 Oh, tom tom beat me to it!
	10:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:12 speaking of which, I want to do a tribute to brian mcbride (stars of the lid) who passed a few weeks ago (just a few clicks past our age)
	10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @10:18 skin of the ol' teeth..
	10:19pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:17 Yeah, fine line between coda, tag, fade, repeating chorus + riffing.
	10:19pm still b/p: Wisenheimer plate -- but not too bad -- on the car, coel.
	10:19pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:12 I think I missed the earlier conversation, but that McBride biography (sort of) of James Brown is really tremendous. IMHO!
	10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @10:17 You're the DJ. You get to do whatever the fuck you wanna! (I mean, as long as it doesn't violate station policy...)
	10:20pm Dean: My high school chemistry and physics teacher taught us about the half lives of radioactive atoms by announcing that he would build a shelter out of full beer cans designed to allow him to drink his way out of the shelter in time sufficient to avoid the detrimental effects of radiation.
	10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: two favorites back to back
	10:21pm Dean: I disagree, Wendy. Violate all you want of station policies. What are they gonna do...fire you?! Just don't violate certain federal laws...
	10:21pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Cabinessence" by "Beach Boys" This is by Van Dyke Parks, right?
	10:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:19 Thanks, LG! It looks like I'll start reading it very soon, because my library has it in their collection. Good ol' RFPL! Have you been to our library? It's a Carnegie!
	10:22pm Listener Gregory: Paul Simon has a song for which Phil Glass wrote a coda (so called on the album, I believe), which seemed musically independent of the song, but nonetheless not bad, if my memory is correct.
	10:22pm Charlie: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:19 Speaking of bks about JB, in the 33 1/3 series, former WFMU DJ Douglas Wolk wrote a wonderful book about Live at the Apollo. My fave book I've read in that series! Highly recommeded!
	10:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:21 wilson/ parks
	10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @10:21 You can disagree all you like, Dean. And when you get a show on GTDR, see how that goes for you.
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @10:19 it's kinda dumb! but i'm more interested in those honeycomb things in the rear window! ?
	10:24pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day" by "Scala Choir" So sweet.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day" by "Scala Choir" Wow
	10:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:22 The Late Great Johnny Ace on Hearts and Bones. Definite coda!
	10:25pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day" by "Scala Choir" You're gonna reap just what you sow, Charlie.
	10:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: Charlie, the same week you asked the gab list about songs with a coda, I was listening to a lot of Velvet Underground. It seems like all of their songs (and probably most of Lou's) have a coda.
	10:26pm Dean: I've had my, uhm, negotiations with Mr. Freedman. I can handle this. Anyway, I will never get a show on GTDR or WFMU. And I like it that way.
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:21 unless you were just joking...
	10:27pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:26 Lou is coda-happy! This ain't the last we'll hear of him tonight:)
	10:27pm Aitch: Lovely girls choir singing about heroin, how sweet (jane)
	10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @10:27 Yay! I loves me some Lou. But, I'm also getting sleepy. I've been up since a notch after 7, which is early for me.
	10:28pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Ashes to Ashes" by "David Bowie" AW YEAH
	10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Roberto @10:28 What Roberto said!
	10:29pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:28 It is getting late on the east coast:)
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Aitch @10:27 not more absurd than elementary school children singing Leonard Cohen's song about sex! ("hallelujah") ...what they don't know wont hurt them!
	10:31pm Charlie: ↳ Aitch @10:27 I've never felt this song was about doing heroin. Has Lou said it was?
	10:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Ashes to Ashes" by "David Bowie" This whole album is so effin' good.
	10:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:26 I'm no expert on the fine print. but I recognize certain familiar embellishments.
	10:33pm Dean: Our urges to protect children are dysfunctional. We're correct in some vague sense, but our execution almost always fails. Durante: one of the greatest American vocalists.
	10:33pm Doug Schulkind: Good evening, nothingdoers!
	10:33pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:32 The screaming guitar in the title track worth the price of admission alone
	10:33pm Aitch: ↳ Charlie @10:31 What reap is what you sew
	10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Doug!
	10:34pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Young at Heart" by "Jimmy Durante" Second Durante playing of the day on the GTD stream!
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: i've read that perfect day's about heroin, although it seems like a vague interpretation to me. here's Lou's response to that idea: "No. You're talking to the writer, the person who wrote it. No that's not true. I don't object to that, particularly...whatever you think is perfect. But this guy's vision of a perfect day was the girl, sangria in the park, and then you go home; a perfect day, real simple. I meant just what I said."
	10:35pm still b/p: Second Durante number I've heard today. Not many days go that way.
	10:35pm Doug Schulkind: Wendy DF!
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: i'd be fine with a THIRD Durante song before the day's done.
	10:35pm Dean: Never enough Durante. The marvelous Fred Hyatt at KPFK so many years ago played hours and hours of opera. Once, after playing, I dunno, Pavarotti or Schwartzkopf, he announced, "Next, a perfect vocalist." And then he played Durante.
	10:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charlie @10:31 When you think about it, the coda to Perfect Day is very strange. The song is so positive and chill, but the ending seems to be a warning of some kind. "You're gone reap just what you sow" applies negatively and positively, but it's almost always used in negative contexts. Huh!
	10:36pm northguineahills: i know this audience is too hipsterati for contemporary tv shows, but I do suggest 'invasion' (apple +). it takes the view points from three different places on earth, and it take 6ish episodes before you actually start to know wtf is going on, and it can be quite cerebral at times (for normy audiences), but bowie is a piece of the puzzle. also, joy division comes through at an odd moment... ngh's 3 cents...
	10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:32 didn't know if you were being snarky about "ownership" of song, parks did the lyrics , i don't know if he had anything to do w/ the music, bu t music clearly a product of what wilson was doing since good vibrations i.e. cut and paste
	10:37pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @10:36 Just waiting for the whole set to be released, I love that stuff
	10:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 My elderly grandmother loved Durante, especially when he sang "the sad songs." I suspect that she would listen and cry.
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:34 Thank you. I always felt it was about a happy little get together.
	10:37pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:34 that's how i read it when I was young and impressionable..
	10:38pm Roberto: ↳ still b/p @10:35 Uncle Michael played Durante's birthday song to his nose earlier today.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: a friend's dog, Jimmy Durante, checked out of this world not long ago. ...pretty easy to figure out the inspiration for the name. rest in peace.
	10:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @10:37 best to binge it, im(less then)ho
	10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:36 I'm intrigued! Except I don't have any streaming services. (sad trombone) We can watch it when you come visit, perhaps...
	10:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:40 i piggy back on my siblings...(i love them nonetheless)
	10:41pm Dean: An interesting quartet. I like Bowie. The other three you mention, not so much.
	10:41pm Aitch: ↳ northguineahills @10:39 1st season alright, but the Apple+ shows all so ponderous. High production values, but slow-as. Keen for more Severance
	10:41pm still b/p: ↳ Roberto @10:38 That was it! I'd thought I heard it on local radio while driving, when not listening for a portion of UM's cavalcade of birthday songs today.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:37 Can I say that I always imagined Brian and Van renting a cabin up in the mountains to tinker with ideas that were eluding both of them.
	10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: durante was notorious ly paired w/ buster keaton in early soundies, like paring a very loud kazoo w/ a stradivarious
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:37 his rendition of september song is what opened my mind to Mr. Durante...fortunately when i was just in my 20s. ...the best version of a song that has a million great versions.
	10:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Aitch @10:41 Severance Season 2 was shooting around here before the strike.
	10:42pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "The True Wheel" by "Brian Eno" Awwww YEAH
	10:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @10:41 i prefer slooooooow (just like my music.....) 3.5 hrs of philip glass, yes, i've dj'ed einstein on the beach as the only track at a club...)
	10:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:41 oh, i think they landed a few...
	10:43pm Aitch: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:42 That and Barry my recent(ish) faves, both outstanding
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:37 i mean, we can relate. it has happened!
	10:44pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The True Wheel" by "Brian Eno" looking for a certain ratio myself
	10:44pm still b/p: Enjoyed The True Wheel a lot back in the day, but couldn't have told you until just now that Randi and the Pyramids sing backup.
	10:45pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @10:42 You are my hero.
	10:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:42 I believe I've heard it, but not for a long time, so I'll look it up. Thx!
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: It sure does! Better that drugs I'd say.
	10:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: One of my favorite Talking Heads songs!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" I love this!
	10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" i still like these early albums up to fear of music
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: favorite 'heads album
	10:48pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" Great track off their best record (for me)
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:45 i should interest you in my glass's music w/ chaning parts beat/note matched w/ boymerang's d&b 'beta'...(accidental at one party, and became a fixture of mine).
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:47 fear of music an easy 2nd, then 77. i don't care at all about any of the others
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @10:49 err, changing parts
	10:49pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 The whole DIY ethos of this track inspirational, been a life theme
	10:49pm Dean: To my ear Talking Heads never approached the achievement of their early promise.
	10:50pm Charlie: I think I love the first 3 albums equally. The rest not as much.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @10:49 your ear's a liar
	10:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:49 TIL Dean had a singular of an ear...
	10:50pm Charlie: Also good 33 1/3 book about Fear of Music, by (iirc) Jonathan Lethem.
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" I saw them twice during this run - at The Roxy, but more importantly, outside at U.C.L.A for free on a Sunday afternoon.
	10:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @10:49 I only understand some of these words, but it does sound very interesting!
	10:51pm Aitch: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:49 Pretty much. The early double live The Name of this band is T Heads brilliant too.
	10:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Charlie @10:50 i dig that series...
	10:51pm Charlie: Makes the case that the title means "fear-of" music, in that all the songs express paranoia about one thing or another.
	10:51pm Dean: All of our ears are liars. Now we have to deal with that fact.
	10:51pm Roberto: LZ's What Is and What Should Never Be has a coda, but it's not on Coda.
	10:52pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Summer" by "Charlotte Hatherley" Aw w aa ww ww YEahhahhhhh
	10:52pm Listener Gregory: I've listened recently to a couple of Talking Heads' lesser albums, but even they are very entertaining, if not reaching the artistic heights of their greatest work.
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Charlie @10:50 Of course. I tried but failed to get Johnathan on a podcast to talk about his book.
	10:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @10:51 i accidentally had the right pitch control b/tn philip glass and drum and bass and i hit the cross fader, and it was perfect...I then would do it on purpose at warehouse parties, and kids would love the juxtaposition...(boymerang is aka bark psychosis)
	10:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charlie @10:50 I have that upstairs waiting for just the right moment to read. I didn't want to rush it.
	10:55pm Webhamster Henry: I just want to note that Charlie is not the only old school WFMU DJ popping in tonight; John Schnall is doing a Midnight Matinee on Rich's Inflatable Squirrel Carcass show at midnight (EDT) www.wfmu.org...
	10:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:51 hey i dig dean's opinions, and his assessments, as he give me different critiques that i wouldn't have thought of before. that said, i prefer my own assessments, and i'd prefer you to have your own as well...
	10:56pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:55 Wow!
	10:56pm Dean: Well, yeah, they're entertaining. But they aren't good. Byrne and co. thought they were all it, and they paid more attention to superficial presentation than to making music. Sorry. That's how I hear them. Consulting with Eno exacerbated the problem. I regard these folks as fairly lazy artists. Too bad for us.
	10:57pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Found a Job" by "Talking Heads" He sounded like he's stressed out and wound up tight in those days
	10:57pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The Ocean" by "Led Zeppelin" This the LZ record I'm most likely to play these days, always liked this one
	10:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @10:57 Yeah, I think he was all hopped up then.
	10:58pm Dean: Thanks, ngh.
	10:58pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "The Ocean" by "Led Zeppelin" Another such example.
	10:58pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @10:56 Well I think the first 2 Eno collabs (More Songs, Fear of) were successful fully realized collabs in which Eno expanded what they were doing just enough. Afterwards maybe too much.
	10:59pm chresti: ↳ Dean @10:56 Art school damage?
	10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:56 i think byrne's ascendency and them becoming part of the culture industry also had something to do with downturn
	11:00pm Charlie: and here's the coda:)
	11:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ chresti @10:59 I think their presentation and stagecraft was partly an attempt to involve visual artists in their work. It wasn't done by stylists or record company designers, etc.
	11:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Charlie @11:00 code-A?
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @10:56 Live, they were super tight. And whatever you think of him after the fact, David's persona was a perfect delivery medium for those songs.
	11:01pm Charlie: Hi Doug! I missed your entrance:)
	11:01pm Roberto: It wouldn't be Charlie's show without a high school performance!
	11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Satellite of Love" by "Dondero High School Sympho... WOW!
	11:01pm Dean: Heh. One of my favorite albums is My Life... Who'd a thunk?
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @10:58 what i've read is that Eno did not want to work with talking heads after fear of music because he wanted them to do their own thing, and felt they were plenty able. they begged him so he said only if they do something completely different: remain in light.
	11:04pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 Interesting!
	11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: What? Dondero HS couldn't get Bowie to sing back-up on this track?
	11:04pm Listener Gregory: I saw an early concert in the Stop Making Sense tour, and as an audience member having no idea what was going to happen, the experience was utterly astounding and (I felt) musically fantastic. It was one of the great live music experiences of my life. And with that said, I have to leave to watch the 11 o'clock news, in case something has happened somewhere. Thanks a lot, Charlie!
	11:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 ...which is one of my favorite albums of theirs or anyone's.
	11:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 their "copping a feel" on african music did them in imho
	11:05pm Listener Gregory: Wendy, there may be news on the high school football front that we really cannot afford to miss!
	11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:04 Good night, LG. Please let us know if anything has happened, with BUHS football or any other possible event!
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: i think what went wrong with talking heads (and of course some would say NOTHING did) was they realised the formula, exaggerated it, simplified it, popified it for the masses...and lost the cynical edge that started them going in the first place.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 The Remain in Light band was beyond good. I walked to the show on a hot Summer night and was totally disoriented walking home.
	11:07pm still b/p: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:05 The taint of appropriation, or just lousy adaptation/execution?
	11:08pm Dean: Remain in Light was good...except for Byrne, who spoils it for me.
	11:08pm tom tom the pipers son: always surprised how much i like the association when i hear them, quality stuff
	11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Someone should go to Comic Con dressed like Henny Youngman.
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @11:07 i think more than just taint, they lost themselves
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:07 i somehow never saw them perform. my older brother really liked them and saw them many times. remain in light by far his favorite album. could only rave about that tour's band. strangely, despite remain in light being probably more Eno-influenced than any other 'heads album, he never embraced Eno.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:10 hahaha!
	11:11pm Dean: I love Henny Youngman.
	11:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 they got lost in artifice, aside from appropriation issues
	11:13pm northguineahills: every time i put on my cans, it's charlie speaking...hmm...
	11:14pm northguineahills: i guess we're on the same wavelength...
	11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: Yesterday I was listening to Cosmic Slop (the album) in the car and thinking the same thing: George Clinton is an absolute genius.
	11:15pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:14 Awright!
	11:17pm still b/p: After Eno came up in some conversation of ours, my girlfriend was looking at early images of him -- "He's beautiful!"
	11:18pm chresti: ↳ still b/p @11:17 She's got a sharp eye!
	11:18pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk (Pay Attention - B3M)" by "... I've listened to this song so many times over the years (including a few times in the last few days), I can talk along with every aside George utters.
	11:19pm Charlie: "No one knows where the nose goes when the nose blows"!
	11:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @11:18 You should record that for a marathon premium. Or do it for Hoof 'n' Mouth!
	11:19pm northguineahills: ↳ still b/p @11:17 yeah, he's fully, "glambient!"
	11:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk (Pay Attention - B3M)" by "... still can't deny the funk..
	11:20pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @11:18 That's great! I love it when that happens
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: Cordell Mosson on bass y'all
	11:20pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:19 Ha! I'd love to see this as the finale with a cast of thousands!
	11:21pm Charlie: Syndrome, twiddlee-dee-dum, humdrum don't succumb
	11:25pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:20 not Bootsy?
	11:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hark! I hear another Burt Bacharach song! And this Dave Douglas is my favorite version because not only is it really really good, but it dispenses with the horrid lyrics.
	11:25pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Wives and Lovers" by "Dave Douglas" Hey Little Girl, Fix your hair.
	11:25pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @11:25 Cordell Mosson was the bass voice
	11:26pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:25 Exactly! The lyrics are so, um, sexist. I know they were representative of the times in a way, but yuck.
	11:27pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Charlie @11:26 This is a job for: Alternate Lyrics!
	11:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:25 Fix your hair. Comb your makeup.
	11:28pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:27 Make it a Transgender anthem or something.
	11:29pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:28 Song to a drag queen?
	11:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Wives and Lovers" by "Dave Douglas" This whole comp is one gem after another.
	11:30pm still b/p: ↳ Charlie @11:26 There are those still-gobsmacking books and films from the years preceding the song that spelled it all out -- the duties, methods and attitudes, expected and "successful."
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @11:25 apparently Bootsy played only percussion on this album
	11:31pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Charlie @11:29 Well, something Vivian Justin Bond would like to sing.
	11:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @11:29 Or someone can do a reverse of it and change the lyrics. Working title: "Boys and Husbands"
	11:32pm Charlie: ↳ still b/p @11:30 Yup. I love watching the old Perry Mason shows, on which women are all victims, and have no means except to marry and trade on their looks. (and yet I love the show, and feel it treats everyone in a rather humane way, at least PM does) (amd Della)
	11:32pm Listener Gregory: Bellows Falls creamed Springfield, but Brattleboro got embarrassed by Middlebury. Oy! Back to the news.
	11:32pm Listener Gregory: Sorry, that was intended for Wendy!
	11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:32 That's 'cos the BF kids all grew up on Dari Joy. It makes them mean and strong!
	11:33pm Charlie: I know I just played this recently, and I've only done a few fill-ins, but this song has one of the most beautiful, perfect codas!
	11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:33 Well, that's what Dari Joy does for me, at least... (For those unfortunates who have never been to Bellows Falls, Dari Joy is our local burger and ice cream joint.)
	11:34pm Charlie: Also, I generally just recycle the same few thousand songs over annd over;)
	11:35pm Charlie: I've been to Dari Joy! Yay!
	11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: There are scores and scores of reasons I'm happy I moved to Bellows Falls. Dari Joy is near the top of that list.
	11:37pm Charlie: here comes the coda
	11:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oy gevalt. Charlie, I am up past my bedtime, but you keep playing good songs and I can't shut the radio off. But I must! Good night, Charlie! Good night, everyone else! Kisses and hugs all around.
	11:38pm northguineahills: thanks charlie, I gotta run. love my peeps. ciaosers!
	11:38pm still b/p: ↳ Charlie @11:32 I got Perry Mason on right now with the sound down. Cuz "Busy." The period environment is always enjoyable. I don't give a rat's ass who the real perp is or who's gonna freak out in the courtroom.
	11:40pm Charlie: thanks, ngh! seeya
	11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ still b/p @11:38 Hamilton Burger will get pissed. Lt. Tragg will try to pull something vaguely illegal. Perry and Della will gently flirt. Paul will date someone new. Etc. And I love that show and will watch it again and again.
	11:41pm still b/p: Paul's suitjackets, yeahhhh?
	11:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Alright, I'm going to bed for realz now. Nighty-night, everyone!
	11:46pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:41 Night-night, Wendeleh! Dream about giant lettuce!
	11:47pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:40 Yes, I can watch PM over and over. Love it.
	11:48pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @11:34 Everything that's old is new all over again, I say.
	11:48pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Gimme Something Real" by "Ashford & Simpson" When I discovered this album in high school, and then realized A&S wrote so many great Motown songs, esp the duets w Marvin and Tammi, I decided that their songs were what love looked like.
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: 'night Wendy, ngh
	11:49pm tom tom the pipers son: only if godzilla made an appearance in perry mason as an opposing lawyer or something
	11:50pm still b/p: "I recall Mothra to the stand, your honor,"
	11:51pm KWilde: Excellent show. Come back soon
	11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: that's it...
	11:52pm Charlie: ↳ KWilde @11:51 Thanks, KWilde! I'm back on Mon, Sept 11 filling in for Wendy:)
