	1:14pm Handy Haversack: Yo, spodi!
	👻 1:14pm fred: ↳ Song: "We Are the People" by "Empire of the Sun" A friend did stuff with Littlemore, didn't sell
	1:14pm chresti: Hi Krys O and free foam rollers!
	1:14pm Mr Fab: Hey Krys! “ Dolenz Sings R.E.M. ” - what the HUH?!? This just seems so random. Esp. at this late date, with REM getting pretty far back in culture’s rear-view mirror. I love when these wacky surprises pop up.
	1:15pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:14 Interesting. It's been a long time since I heard Luke Steele's stuff. Will have to seek out Littlemore's work too.
	👻 1:16pm spodiodi: hi chresti!\\//
	1:17pm chresti: hi spodi!
	1:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @1:14 I can't say it enough, but Micky's lullaby album is a treasure. I have to also look for Dolenz Sings Nesmith.
	1:18pm Handy Haversack: Krys, you might like this book. I did the production editing: cup.columbia.edu...
	1:19pm Krys O.: Nice to see ya, chresti! And official howdy to you, Mr. Fab.
	1:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:18 Oooh, thank you! Very keen on that.
	1:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @1:17 Wow, sounds nice. Will check it out. Dolenz def looms large in most of my fave Monkee moments.
	1:20pm Krys O.: Chris Spedding is one of the guitarists on this album. The synthesizers are by Ken Freeman who invented string synthesizers.
	1:23pm tom tom the pipers son: alien ship on war of the worlds album art a little steampunk before steampunk...
	1:23pm Krys O.: Freeman String Synthesizer en.m.wikipedia.org...
	1:24pm Mr Fab: There’s def good bombast. The ‘70s featured a number of examples that successfully walked the balance between rock excitement and theater-class cringe: “rock operas” (like this one), Focus’ “Hocus Pocus,” Queen…
	1:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:23 Used by Jan Hammer!
	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:23 Roger Dean was originally asked to do the artwork, but it didn't work out. There are three different artists' artwork on the sleeve.
	👻 1:26pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:15 Said friend you might know as Ilitch. I'm really pissed off that reissues get praised while his recent stuff is ignored. Just me, but Polaroid bores me (shouldn't say that, this pays his rent)
	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:24 Jazz!
	1:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:26 bombast, down to the artwork...;)
	1:29pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:26 Thanks for the tip.
	1:31pm Handy Haversack: fred, you already have your Hellraiser pumpkin!
	1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: really like ilitch and ruth, had a great thierry muller comp which i lost in hurricane sandy
	1:32pm Krys O.: Nice! Thanks, fred.
	👻 1:35pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:31 That's weird: I'm into banking/national security hell again, Joe trusts me I guess, I take it as encouragement for the ordeal ahead
	1:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:35 All of that has come BACK? Merde.
	1:40pm tom tom the pipers son: getting into this...
	1:42pm Robm: howdy fellow free formers
	1:43pm Krys O.: Hi, Robm!
	1:43pm Robm: hi sister krys
	1:44pm Robm: ↳ fred @1:35 really sucks fred
	1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: the narration to music ratio is quite restrained and tasteful
	1:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 Definitely the adjectives that come to mind about this project.
	1:48pm Robm: love richard burton
	👻 1:48pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine" by "Je... crazy cool synth sounds
	1:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:47 surprisingly, and don't mind the the music is formulaic
	1:49pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:47 My favorite part of this project is Phil Lynott's contribution on side 3.
	1:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds... Well, it's certainly available on Discogs!
	1:49pm Krys O.: And the UL-LA sound.
	1:50pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:49 It was quite popular in the UK at the time.
	1:50pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Forever Autumn" by "Jeff Wayne" This was a top ten hit in the UK charts.
	1:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Forever Autumn" by "Jeff Wayne" oh, i know this...
	1:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:49 Is that this, Krys?
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 Or no, we're still on side 2.
	1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 Yes, it also bubbled under the Top 40 here in the States. I was just reading that the melody was originally written for a Lego commercial.
	1:53pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:52 Tracks are quite long. Only two on side one, three on side two.
	1:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:47 or you were joking...
	1:54pm MHLee: Can't believe I'm missing the musical war of the worlds
	1:55pm MHLee: My dad burned this on cd for me as a kid
	1:55pm MHLee: I gifted a copy to my genetics prof
	1:56pm MHLee: Personally I like the remixes from the 1990s video game and side two
	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @1:55 Hi, MHLee!! That was a nice gesture.
	1:56pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Song: "Forever Autumn" by "Jeff Wayne" This hasn't lost any of it's power and magic.
	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @1:56 True.
	1:57pm MHLee: Spirit of Man and the Artillery Man's Song on the second side both are great
	1:59pm Krys O.: Almost missed the last track. This is the voice of Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
	2:00pm MHLee: The guitar parts on this
	2:00pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Shiny Happy People" by "Micky Dolenz" Huh, I played that on my college station yesterday
	2:01pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:00 It's a gem.
	2:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Krys and freeform freaks!
	2:02pm Handy Haversack: Oof, poor Thunder Child!
	2:02pm tom tom the pipers son: idk, i think the formulaic music and restrained narration creates an aesthetic distance that works against it being bombastic
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds... That was awesome! I might even have to pick this up.
	2:03pm tom tom the pipers son: its not like meatloaf.
	2:04pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:03 KrysO!!!
	2:04pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:02 That's what I mean. On the surface, one would assume this is all bombast, but the elements are beyond that. Harvey squeaked on that mic break.
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @2:04 hi ngh!
	2:05pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:04 HULLOOOO, ngh!
	2:05pm MHLee: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:02 @Tom I think sides 3-4 are less danceable and some of them are quite sad or moving
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:04 agreed
	2:06pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:03 Aye, that is correct. Jim Steinman can get on my nerves.
	2:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ MHLee @2:05 thx, guess i'll see...
	2:08pm Robm: howdy NGH
	👻 2:08pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:38 I wish I knew more. Fun ahead for sure. For added points I'm in trouble with HR. Not for something I said, but someone complained I don't talk enough (after having a complaint saying I shouldn't talk unless asked first, probably the same complainant)
	2:09pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:08 That sounds like harassment.
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Wherm I Gonna Go?" by "Rebby Sharp" like the thurber-esque drawing
	2:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:08 Ugh, what a mess.
	2:10pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:09 I think that's Tuli Kupferberg.
	2:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Wherm I Gonna Go?" by "Rebby Sharp" ah searched this on yt recently
	👻 2:11pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:09 That sounds like an academic boss. So little power...
	2:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:10 oh,... he was def inspired by thurber
	2:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Grease and Flowers" by "Orthotonics" from richmond, va., correct?
	2:14pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:14 Yup
	2:14pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:11 Very much like a petty tyrant.
	2:16pm Robm: ↳ fred @2:08 fred is there anyway you can make a counter complaint against that person?
	👻 2:17pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:09 I was previously told not to antagonize my boss because he can get violent, for context He's a rising AI researcher though, what could go wrong?
	2:17pm northguineahills: oooo, new beths, and on carpark!
	2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:17 It's an expanded release of last year's LP with demos and on blue vinyl.
	2:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Grease and Flowers" by "Orthotonics" like this one my niece is currently looking at campus of university of virginia, which i guess is in richmond(?) seems like an interesting place
	2:19pm Robm: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "The Beths" sweet song by the beths
	2:20pm MHLee: I'm currently watching my university cut entire departments because we are an unjustifiable amount in debt
	2:20pm Krys O.: ↳ Robm @2:19 I'm a big fan of theirs.
	2:20pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:20 Ugh. So sorry.
	2:22pm tom tom the pipers son: u of v NOT in richmond
	2:22pm MHLee: ↳ Krys O. @2:20 Yeah, we suddenly have a union too which picketed the board of governors meeting yesterday
	2:22pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:20 i think you mentioned that on clays show once or twice
	👻 2:22pm fred: ↳ MHLee @2:20 Let me guess: the president got an obscene raise last year
	2:23pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:08 what a kafkaesque nightmare(s)
	2:23pm Robm: ↳ MHLee @2:20 is it west virginia MHLee?
	2:23pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:22 Best of luck to you. Rutgers University was struck earlier this year. I second fred's guess. That's always the case.
	2:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:18 well, i haven't bought any records in ages, i hope to rectify that before xmas...
	2:25pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:22 charlottesville?
	2:25pm Krys O.: ↳ Robm @2:22 Indeed, I have.
	2:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:23 death$antis' appointee at U of Florida got an insane raise...
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:26 Dang it! He also eviscerated New College.
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:26 DeSatan, that is.
	2:29pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 or as i call it the fundamentalist republic of florida
	2:29pm MHLee: ↳ Robm @2:23 Yes @Fred the president said "we aren't paid more than other universities but he's paid 40% more than average for state universities
	2:29pm northguineahills: a woofmoo listener, who's a librarian at a university outside of FL, showed me a library vacancy that's been open for over a semester at the U of FL's Library of African Studies Collection, gee, I wonder why?
	2:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @2:25 yes, my niece likes it, from what i hear, the campus must be old, which i understand liking, but seems quite sportsy which i don't understand
	👻 2:29pm Will thee Sound Guy: hi Krys O and all!!
	2:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 thankfully, I'm actually escaping...
	2:30pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:29 :(
	👻 2:30pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 Bill Zebub would deny having anything to do with that guy
	2:30pm Robm: ↳ MHLee @2:29 i figured that been reading the news about it @NGH YAY
	2:31pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:29 hard to be more sportsy then Florida (maybe other SEC schools)
	2:31pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:30 Correct. It is a misnomer.
	2:31pm MHLee: Apparently the guys in charge of "academic transformation" also did a hack job on New Jersey City University
	2:31pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:31 FSU or UM
	👻 2:32pm spodiodi: hi Will!
	2:32pm Krys O.: Howdy, Will!
	2:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Interview/Timeless Melody" by "The La's" "malady always reminds me" nice line...
	2:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @2:31 fair enough (considering they don't lean as heavily on academics [fsu does have a great music college])
	2:33pm northguineahills: ↳ MHLee @2:31 sort of off topic, my parents met at wvu...
	2:33pm Krys O.: The donations from alumni also drive the future of a university and that is frightening.
	2:34pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:32 UM kinda does too bad they are in coral gables
	2:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:33 i get hit up by the alumni association all the time....it's cute...
	2:35pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:34 tell them your broke
	2:35pm MHLee: ↳ northguineahills @2:34 A lot of alumni are quite upset atm... luckily I'm about to get my PhD and then high tail out of here
	👻 2:35pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:31 Though I wish he would get desperate enough to hire Bill Zebub for a campaign ad. That could be entertaining
	2:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @2:31 right, my brother in law was an all american lacrosse player, so he is probably looking for that sort of environment for daughter, my niece is a good competitive swimmer
	2:40pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:35 DeSantis's campaign is losing money and running through staff. It's destined to end terribly and I'm looking forward to that.
	2:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "There Goes My Outfit" by "The Dears" has a nice sound
	2:41pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:40 There's a demo version of this on the album and it's good too.
	2:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @2:35 i don't dignify them w/ a response...
	2:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:41 musta missed them...
	2:42pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:41 that works too
	2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:41 I used to call alumni for donations at Upsala since I was the recipient of several scholarships. I called Bob Brainen. He was on the list. He honestly said that he couldn't afford it. They shouldn't try the hard sell after that.
	2:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:44 I only get personalized emails, these days, "wanting to meet up for coffee or lunch".
	2:46pm Debbie Davenport: Hi Krys O. and gang. Always something interesting going on here. And beautiful.
	2:46pm northguineahills: and unlike upsala, uf is unlikely to go bankrupt any time soon...
	2:47pm Robm: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:46 it’s so wonderful too
	2:47pm Krys O.: Hello, Debbie! Thank you kindly.
	2:47pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Robm @2:47 Hell yeah!
	2:48pm MHLee: We just had another college go bankrupt in this state
	2:48pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Krys O. @2:47 💖
	2:48pm MHLee: Or rather the state shut them down after they had a 666,000 thousand dollar unpaid water bill
	2:49pm Robm: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:47 the problem is too many good shows, not enough hours in the day:)
	2:49pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ MHLee @2:48 What state? I wonder if that's why Humboldt state turned into Humboldt CalPoly. Combinations might help them not go bankrupt.
	2:50pm MHLee: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:49 West Virginia...
	2:51pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Robm @2:49 I agree! I try to keep it to just my favorite few. Then I get interested in more. There are some WFMU shows people have suggested to me that I haven't listened to yet.
	2:51pm northguineahills: ↳ MHLee @2:48 which one? (wv native, here)
	2:51pm MHLee: WVU actually bought the last failed college in state and turned it into WVU Tech
	2:51pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:48 Bloomfield College had to merge with Montclair State University last year. It was nearly bankrupt. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:51pm Jan Turkenburg: Thanks Krys, great show!
	2:51pm tom tom the pipers son: debbie davenport.... alas, your name stepped out of a john waters movie...;)
	👻 2:52pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @2:45 You should reply something like "thanks! I could use a meal!". That should get you off their list
	2:52pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ MHLee @2:50 I'm sorry to hear about what is going on there. I don't know anything about West Virginia. I think you might be the first person who has ever referenced that state in my presence.
	2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:52 i have thought about that, actually....
	👻 2:52pm spodiodi: thanks, Krys! great show
	2:52pm MHLee: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:52 We are the only state with a declining population and we have no young people
	2:53pm Robm: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:51 ohh yeah and the archives are a rabbit hole to down too, before you know it, the whole day is wasted
	2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Lady Who Said She Could Fly" by "The Idle Race" framework for elo laid out already
	2:53pm northguineahills: ↳ MHLee @2:51 i wondered how that appeared...
	2:53pm MHLee: ↳ Krys O. @2:51 My undergrad took most of the responsibilities over for them but my undergrad had a budget deficit when I was there
	2:53pm Krys O.: Thank you ever so much for all of your comments and for tuning in. Be well!
	2:54pm MHLee: Thanks Krys O. good music to grade to
	2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys...
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Krys! I'll keep watching the skies!
	2:54pm Robm: you too krys o see you monday in wake and bake
	2:54pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ MHLee @2:52 I lived in a town in California that had a declining population. It was down to 500 when I was there but it felt like 200. It used to be a popular place in the 40s and 50s too Movie stars used to vacation there. In Lassen County.
	2:54pm northguineahills: oy, it's 3. thanks Krys O, amazingly fun times!
	2:56pm Debbie Davenport: Thanks Krys O. See ya later.
	2:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:54 keep watching the skis!
	2:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Everything and Nothing at All" by "The Blue Daisies" huh, somehow new to me! (and digdug!)
	👻 3:03pm WR: Thank you! Krys!

	1:04pm Krys O.: Hey, tom tom!
	1:04pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Shiny Happy People" by "Micky Dolenz" By the way, the video for this song is co-directed by WFMU's Andrew Sandoval of the Rock and Soul stream.
	1:06pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @1:04 youtu.be...
	👻 1:08pm fred: Cop-out! Stipe is intelligible on that one!
	1:09pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:08 LOL!
	👻 1:10pm spodiodi: greetings, Krys O. and all!

	👻 1:13pm spodiodi: hi Handy!
	1:14pm Krys O.: Helloooo, Handy!
	1:14pm Handy Haversack: Yo, spodi!
	👻 1:14pm fred: ↳ Song: "We Are the People" by "Empire of the Sun" A friend did stuff with Littlemore, didn't sell
	1:14pm chresti: Hi Krys O and free foam rollers!
	1:14pm Mr Fab: Hey Krys! “ Dolenz Sings R.E.M. ” - what the HUH?!? This just seems so random. Esp. at this late date, with REM getting pretty far back in culture’s rear-view mirror. I love when these wacky surprises pop up.
	1:15pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:14 Interesting. It's been a long time since I heard Luke Steele's stuff. Will have to seek out Littlemore's work too.
	👻 1:16pm spodiodi: hi chresti!\\//
	1:17pm chresti: hi spodi!
	1:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @1:14 I can't say it enough, but Micky's lullaby album is a treasure. I have to also look for Dolenz Sings Nesmith.
	1:18pm Handy Haversack: Krys, you might like this book. I did the production editing: cup.columbia.edu...
	1:19pm Krys O.: Nice to see ya, chresti! And official howdy to you, Mr. Fab.
	1:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:18 Oooh, thank you! Very keen on that.
	1:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @1:17 Wow, sounds nice. Will check it out. Dolenz def looms large in most of my fave Monkee moments.
	1:20pm Krys O.: Chris Spedding is one of the guitarists on this album. The synthesizers are by Ken Freeman who invented string synthesizers.
	1:23pm tom tom the pipers son: alien ship on war of the worlds album art a little steampunk before steampunk...
	1:23pm Krys O.: Freeman String Synthesizer en.m.wikipedia.org...
	1:24pm Mr Fab: There’s def good bombast. The ‘70s featured a number of examples that successfully walked the balance between rock excitement and theater-class cringe: “rock operas” (like this one), Focus’ “Hocus Pocus,” Queen…
	1:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:23 Used by Jan Hammer!
	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:23 Roger Dean was originally asked to do the artwork, but it didn't work out. There are three different artists' artwork on the sleeve.
	👻 1:26pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:15 Said friend you might know as Ilitch. I'm really pissed off that reissues get praised while his recent stuff is ignored. Just me, but Polaroid bores me (shouldn't say that, this pays his rent)
	1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:24 Jazz!
	1:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:26 bombast, down to the artwork...;)
	1:29pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:26 Thanks for the tip.
	1:31pm Handy Haversack: fred, you already have your Hellraiser pumpkin!
	1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: really like ilitch and ruth, had a great thierry muller comp which i lost in hurricane sandy
	1:32pm Krys O.: Nice! Thanks, fred.
	👻 1:35pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:31 That's weird: I'm into banking/national security hell again, Joe trusts me I guess, I take it as encouragement for the ordeal ahead
	1:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:35 All of that has come BACK? Merde.
	1:40pm tom tom the pipers son: getting into this...
	1:42pm Robm: howdy fellow free formers
	1:43pm Krys O.: Hi, Robm!
	1:43pm Robm: hi sister krys
	1:44pm Robm: ↳ fred @1:35 really sucks fred
	1:45pm tom tom the pipers son: the narration to music ratio is quite restrained and tasteful
	1:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 Definitely the adjectives that come to mind about this project.
	1:48pm Robm: love richard burton
	👻 1:48pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine" by "Je... crazy cool synth sounds
	1:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:47 surprisingly, and don't mind the the music is formulaic
	1:49pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:47 My favorite part of this project is Phil Lynott's contribution on side 3.
	1:49pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds... Well, it's certainly available on Discogs!
	1:49pm Krys O.: And the UL-LA sound.
	1:50pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:49 It was quite popular in the UK at the time.
	1:50pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Forever Autumn" by "Jeff Wayne" This was a top ten hit in the UK charts.
	1:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Forever Autumn" by "Jeff Wayne" oh, i know this...
	1:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:49 Is that this, Krys?
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 Or no, we're still on side 2.
	1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:51 Yes, it also bubbled under the Top 40 here in the States. I was just reading that the melody was originally written for a Lego commercial.
	1:53pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:52 Tracks are quite long. Only two on side one, three on side two.
	1:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:47 or you were joking...
	1:54pm MHLee: Can't believe I'm missing the musical war of the worlds
	1:55pm MHLee: My dad burned this on cd for me as a kid
	1:55pm MHLee: I gifted a copy to my genetics prof
	1:56pm MHLee: Personally I like the remixes from the 1990s video game and side two
	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @1:55 Hi, MHLee!! That was a nice gesture.
	1:56pm Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Song: "Forever Autumn" by "Jeff Wayne" This hasn't lost any of it's power and magic.
	1:56pm Krys O.: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @1:56 True.
	1:57pm MHLee: Spirit of Man and the Artillery Man's Song on the second side both are great
	1:59pm Krys O.: Almost missed the last track. This is the voice of Blinded by the Light by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
	2:00pm MHLee: The guitar parts on this
	2:00pm MHLee: ↳ Song: "Shiny Happy People" by "Micky Dolenz" Huh, I played that on my college station yesterday
	2:01pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:00 It's a gem.
	2:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Krys and freeform freaks!
	2:02pm Handy Haversack: Oof, poor Thunder Child!
	2:02pm tom tom the pipers son: idk, i think the formulaic music and restrained narration creates an aesthetic distance that works against it being bombastic
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds... That was awesome! I might even have to pick this up.
	2:03pm tom tom the pipers son: its not like meatloaf.
	2:04pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:03 KrysO!!!
	2:04pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:02 That's what I mean. On the surface, one would assume this is all bombast, but the elements are beyond that. Harvey squeaked on that mic break.
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @2:04 hi ngh!
	2:05pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:04 HULLOOOO, ngh!
	2:05pm MHLee: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:02 @Tom I think sides 3-4 are less danceable and some of them are quite sad or moving
	2:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:04 agreed
	2:06pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:03 Aye, that is correct. Jim Steinman can get on my nerves.
	2:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ MHLee @2:05 thx, guess i'll see...
	2:08pm Robm: howdy NGH
	👻 2:08pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:38 I wish I knew more. Fun ahead for sure. For added points I'm in trouble with HR. Not for something I said, but someone complained I don't talk enough (after having a complaint saying I shouldn't talk unless asked first, probably the same complainant)
	2:09pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:08 That sounds like harassment.
	2:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Wherm I Gonna Go?" by "Rebby Sharp" like the thurber-esque drawing
	2:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @2:08 Ugh, what a mess.
	2:10pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:09 I think that's Tuli Kupferberg.
	2:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Wherm I Gonna Go?" by "Rebby Sharp" ah searched this on yt recently
	👻 2:11pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:09 That sounds like an academic boss. So little power...
	2:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:10 oh,... he was def inspired by thurber
	2:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Grease and Flowers" by "Orthotonics" from richmond, va., correct?
	2:14pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:14 Yup
	2:14pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:11 Very much like a petty tyrant.
	2:16pm Robm: ↳ fred @2:08 fred is there anyway you can make a counter complaint against that person?
	👻 2:17pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:09 I was previously told not to antagonize my boss because he can get violent, for context He's a rising AI researcher though, what could go wrong?
	2:17pm northguineahills: oooo, new beths, and on carpark!
	2:18pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:17 It's an expanded release of last year's LP with demos and on blue vinyl.
	2:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Grease and Flowers" by "Orthotonics" like this one my niece is currently looking at campus of university of virginia, which i guess is in richmond(?) seems like an interesting place
	2:19pm Robm: ↳ Song: "Expert in a Dying Field (demo)" by "The Beths" sweet song by the beths
	2:20pm MHLee: I'm currently watching my university cut entire departments because we are an unjustifiable amount in debt
	2:20pm Krys O.: ↳ Robm @2:19 I'm a big fan of theirs.
	2:20pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:20 Ugh. So sorry.
	2:22pm tom tom the pipers son: u of v NOT in richmond
	2:22pm MHLee: ↳ Krys O. @2:20 Yeah, we suddenly have a union too which picketed the board of governors meeting yesterday
	2:22pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:20 i think you mentioned that on clays show once or twice
	👻 2:22pm fred: ↳ MHLee @2:20 Let me guess: the president got an obscene raise last year
	2:23pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:08 what a kafkaesque nightmare(s)
	2:23pm Robm: ↳ MHLee @2:20 is it west virginia MHLee?
	2:23pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:22 Best of luck to you. Rutgers University was struck earlier this year. I second fred's guess. That's always the case.
	2:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:18 well, i haven't bought any records in ages, i hope to rectify that before xmas...
	2:25pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:22 charlottesville?
	2:25pm Krys O.: ↳ Robm @2:22 Indeed, I have.
	2:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:23 death$antis' appointee at U of Florida got an insane raise...
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:26 Dang it! He also eviscerated New College.
	2:27pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:26 DeSatan, that is.
	2:29pm Robm: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 or as i call it the fundamentalist republic of florida
	2:29pm MHLee: ↳ Robm @2:23 Yes @Fred the president said "we aren't paid more than other universities but he's paid 40% more than average for state universities
	2:29pm northguineahills: a woofmoo listener, who's a librarian at a university outside of FL, showed me a library vacancy that's been open for over a semester at the U of FL's Library of African Studies Collection, gee, I wonder why?
	2:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @2:25 yes, my niece likes it, from what i hear, the campus must be old, which i understand liking, but seems quite sportsy which i don't understand
	👻 2:29pm Will thee Sound Guy: hi Krys O and all!!
	2:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 thankfully, I'm actually escaping...
	2:30pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:29 :(
	👻 2:30pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:27 Bill Zebub would deny having anything to do with that guy
	2:30pm Robm: ↳ MHLee @2:29 i figured that been reading the news about it @NGH YAY
	2:31pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:29 hard to be more sportsy then Florida (maybe other SEC schools)
	2:31pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:30 Correct. It is a misnomer.
	2:31pm MHLee: Apparently the guys in charge of "academic transformation" also did a hack job on New Jersey City University
	2:31pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:31 FSU or UM
	👻 2:32pm spodiodi: hi Will!
	2:32pm Krys O.: Howdy, Will!
	2:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Interview/Timeless Melody" by "The La's" "malady always reminds me" nice line...
	2:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @2:31 fair enough (considering they don't lean as heavily on academics [fsu does have a great music college])
	2:33pm northguineahills: ↳ MHLee @2:31 sort of off topic, my parents met at wvu...
	2:33pm Krys O.: The donations from alumni also drive the future of a university and that is frightening.
	2:34pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:32 UM kinda does too bad they are in coral gables
	2:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:33 i get hit up by the alumni association all the time....it's cute...
	2:35pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:34 tell them your broke
	2:35pm MHLee: ↳ northguineahills @2:34 A lot of alumni are quite upset atm... luckily I'm about to get my PhD and then high tail out of here
	👻 2:35pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:31 Though I wish he would get desperate enough to hire Bill Zebub for a campaign ad. That could be entertaining
	2:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @2:31 right, my brother in law was an all american lacrosse player, so he is probably looking for that sort of environment for daughter, my niece is a good competitive swimmer
	2:40pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:35 DeSantis's campaign is losing money and running through staff. It's destined to end terribly and I'm looking forward to that.
	2:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "There Goes My Outfit" by "The Dears" has a nice sound
	2:41pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:40 There's a demo version of this on the album and it's good too.
	2:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @2:35 i don't dignify them w/ a response...
	2:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:41 musta missed them...
	2:42pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @2:41 that works too
	2:44pm Krys O.: ↳ northguineahills @2:41 I used to call alumni for donations at Upsala since I was the recipient of several scholarships. I called Bob Brainen. He was on the list. He honestly said that he couldn't afford it. They shouldn't try the hard sell after that.
	2:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Krys O. @2:44 I only get personalized emails, these days, "wanting to meet up for coffee or lunch".
	2:46pm Debbie Davenport: Hi Krys O. and gang. Always something interesting going on here. And beautiful.
	2:46pm northguineahills: and unlike upsala, uf is unlikely to go bankrupt any time soon...
	2:47pm Robm: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:46 it’s so wonderful too
	2:47pm Krys O.: Hello, Debbie! Thank you kindly.
	2:47pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Robm @2:47 Hell yeah!
	2:48pm MHLee: We just had another college go bankrupt in this state
	2:48pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Krys O. @2:47 💖
	2:48pm MHLee: Or rather the state shut them down after they had a 666,000 thousand dollar unpaid water bill
	2:49pm Robm: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:47 the problem is too many good shows, not enough hours in the day:)
	2:49pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ MHLee @2:48 What state? I wonder if that's why Humboldt state turned into Humboldt CalPoly. Combinations might help them not go bankrupt.
	2:50pm MHLee: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:49 West Virginia...
	2:51pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ Robm @2:49 I agree! I try to keep it to just my favorite few. Then I get interested in more. There are some WFMU shows people have suggested to me that I haven't listened to yet.
	2:51pm northguineahills: ↳ MHLee @2:48 which one? (wv native, here)
	2:51pm MHLee: WVU actually bought the last failed college in state and turned it into WVU Tech
	2:51pm Krys O.: ↳ MHLee @2:48 Bloomfield College had to merge with Montclair State University last year. It was nearly bankrupt. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:51pm Jan Turkenburg: Thanks Krys, great show!
	2:51pm tom tom the pipers son: debbie davenport.... alas, your name stepped out of a john waters movie...;)
	👻 2:52pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @2:45 You should reply something like "thanks! I could use a meal!". That should get you off their list
	2:52pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ MHLee @2:50 I'm sorry to hear about what is going on there. I don't know anything about West Virginia. I think you might be the first person who has ever referenced that state in my presence.
	2:52pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:52 i have thought about that, actually....
	👻 2:52pm spodiodi: thanks, Krys! great show
	2:52pm MHLee: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:52 We are the only state with a declining population and we have no young people
	2:53pm Robm: ↳ Debbie Davenport @2:51 ohh yeah and the archives are a rabbit hole to down too, before you know it, the whole day is wasted
	2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Lady Who Said She Could Fly" by "The Idle Race" framework for elo laid out already
	2:53pm northguineahills: ↳ MHLee @2:51 i wondered how that appeared...
	2:53pm MHLee: ↳ Krys O. @2:51 My undergrad took most of the responsibilities over for them but my undergrad had a budget deficit when I was there
	2:53pm Krys O.: Thank you ever so much for all of your comments and for tuning in. Be well!
	2:54pm MHLee: Thanks Krys O. good music to grade to
	2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys...
	2:54pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Krys! I'll keep watching the skies!
	2:54pm Robm: you too krys o see you monday in wake and bake
	2:54pm Debbie Davenport: ↳ MHLee @2:52 I lived in a town in California that had a declining population. It was down to 500 when I was there but it felt like 200. It used to be a popular place in the 40s and 50s too Movie stars used to vacation there. In Lassen County.
	2:54pm northguineahills: oy, it's 3. thanks Krys O, amazingly fun times!
	2:56pm Debbie Davenport: Thanks Krys O. See ya later.
	2:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:54 keep watching the skis!
	2:59pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Everything and Nothing at All" by "The Blue Daisies" huh, somehow new to me! (and digdug!)
	👻 3:03pm WR: Thank you! Krys!
