	9:56am chresti: ↳ chresti @9:55 And hi Andrea!
	9:56am Andrea C: ↳ chresti @9:55 I need to listen to them again. It's been a while. I vaguely recall the main refrain of that song. off the top of my head I wouldn't attribute hip hop adjective. But it's been a long time, so :)
	9:57am Chrissy T: Hello all, wishing you all a day filled with fun, family and great music
	9:59am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "Safe from Harm" by "Massive Attack" her factoid: when I was living in Bristol I attended the 2017 (16?) Massive Attack concert in Clifton. Under the pouring "rain" (it was a loots of rain). Nobody cared. nor MA on stage, nor us in the field dancing in a pool. Went home in a taxi and then a looong hot bath to gain my limbs back.

I was introduced to FSOL by a mate (among other things like making music with the FT2 and forming a band with him and more) in 1996 I believe with ISDN. Previous I was more clubby house. I'll stop here, I'm making a fool of myself :D
	10:09am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Slave to the Rhythm (Hot Blooded version)" by "Gr... Yes! Grace Jones is always appropriate!
	10:10am Webhamster Henry: I'm glad we're getting a lot of 12" goodies this morning/
	10:10am chresti: ↳ Andrea C @10:07 Oof 95! I’ve lost track of time! Thanks.
	10:11am Andrea C: ↳ chresti @10:10 what is a friend but a clock on thanksgiving! :P
	10:11am listener 126464: Good day! Happy Thanksgiving, if you partake. Thanks for filling in Jack Mello.
	10:22am chinn: ↳ Song: "I Want You Now" by "Liza Minnelli" Was def not expecting to hear 80s Liza Minnelli remixes this Thanksgiving. What a delightful surprise.
	10:31am Jack Mello: dig the snap/crackle/pop!
	10:37am love2laf: Just realised that it's Turkey day, with no birds on Jack's fill-in, and Pseu's fill-in Julie is coming in to the Magic Factory so we won't hear her birds on the mic breaks. That's a lot of bird juxtapositioning right there....
	10:38am john_zilla: ↳ Song: "Where Love Lives (Classic mix)" by "Alison Limerick" oh yes oh yes
	10:46am chresti: ↳ love2laf @10:37 A sad day for birds!

	10:52am alan the painter: Thankful you are spinning Jack
	10:54am Kat in the chat: I used to hang out with Joe Smooth at Smart Bar in Chicago, many many years ago, before he made this even
	10:55am Jack Mello: really appreciate all the kind words, thx Alan and everyone!
	10:55am Jack Mello: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:54 wow wow WOW!
	10:55am Babs: SOOOOOOO FIRE ❤️‍🔥☮️🍁
	10:56am chresti: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:54 In The Warehouse?

	10:58am chresti: Oh wow!
	11:04am Windy City: Great set to cook by Im moving faster than expected
	11:04am chresti: The turkey oven stopped working yesterday. Franco was preparing for today, yesterday, no heat in his moms electric oven, so no cooked birds today!
	11:04am northguineahills: what a beauty of a T-giving present to me, it's Jack!!!! /will counter the clusterfuck of what my day has set in front of me...
	11:05am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Diamond Life (Dance Ritual Mix)" by "Louie Vega a... yes, I've see louie vega live many times...
	11:06am love2laf: ↳ chresti @11:04 Oooof, that's an unhappy state of affairs. Our oven broke a couple of weeks back, and I was glad it did so when our food was just about ready, just not quite hot enough. Hope it's an easy fix.
	11:07am Joey C: Loving the sounds JM. Giving thanks to your selections. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday all.
	11:07am northguineahills: outside of the family thing, my parents don't know how to cook, so, i dread what fare will be serve tonight...(harrowing nightmares of culinary memories of the past)
	11:07am Kat in the chat: No chresti it was at a basement club called Smart Bar, where I spent a LOT of time in the 80s and then again in the 2010s.I never went to The Warehouse, but I went once to the Power Plant which followed it. Both were in industrial areas I wasn’t confident to go to alone (I was very young and new to Chicago), but we got a group together once for the Power Plant.
	11:08am northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:07 Kat!
	11:08am northguineahills: ↳ chresti @11:04 chresti, she ain't have no turkey!
	11:09am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:06 love2laf! give my regards to your kitteh, erin (oh, and maybe the rest of yer fam)
	11:09am northguineahills: ↳ Joey C @11:07 buenas dias!
	11:10am northguineahills: ↳ Windy City @11:04 salutations!
	11:10am Kat in the chat: Wishing everyone the best of luck with their Thanksgiving challenges! I’m cooking for myself, nothing big or fancy, but I should have nice leftovers for a couple days
	11:10am Andres: ↳ chresti @11:04 Not the same oven as the pie oven I hope.
	11:10am Kat in the chat: Stay strong ngh :)
	11:10am Lana in Bucksom County: Soooo grateful for your music hosting this day, Jack - pure joy. Definitely will be revisited again and again. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all!
	11:12am love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 Erin is having a lovely morning snoozing in front of the fire. Hope your Thanksgiving meal and experience is way better than your expectations.
	11:13am Jack Mello: ↳ Lana in Bucksom County @11:10 thanks so much, Lana. enjoy yr T-day!
	11:14am Yes: This station saves. Morning all
	11:15am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:12 the last past 7 years we've gone to my brother's Colombian brother-in-law's, who's parents know how to cook. but my mother is too frail to travel this year, so....
	11:16am tom tom the pipers son: good morning, the music has the holiday feel....
	11:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @11:04 oh no, it sucks how this stupid holiday sets us up with expectations and disappointment
	11:20am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 I'm perfectly able to set everyone else up for disappointment on any given day! 😉
	11:24am northguineahills: ↳ Yes @11:14 YASSS!!, what yes said!!!
	11:24am Matthew_London: Get in!
	11:26am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:15 Colombian fare or traditional bird and sides?
	11:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:20 made me chuckle, out of identification, but that all change soon... good luck witrh the fam, put your blinders on and try hanging with your nieces. still i'm sure you family will be relieved and supportive of recent job news. the J-O-B thing is important to family esp conservative ones
	11:27am love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @11:15 Getting old is not for the faint of heart, we live long enough, we get frail. Will be hoping it's a kind celebration, if not a feast.
	11:29am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:26 JOB has been driven into my consciousness since HS from my father, but maybe he meant the biblical character, Job...(not to be confused w/ Gob from Arrested Development)
	11:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:29 ha ha! yes, ya gotta laugh...
	11:31am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:26 a little of both, but since my brother and him are married into a Guyanese family, some bengali fare as well....
	11:33am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:31 I like the sound of that!
	11:33am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:27 My mother was physically on the decline for the last decade, and dementia showed up four yers ago. she's only 74. my father called me yesterday at 8:30am to ask if i was coming as it might be my mom's last t-giving. He hasn't called me himself in over a year, so i know it's serious.
	11:35am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "It Should Have Been You" by "Gwen Guthrie" I picked this up in a junk shop in bed stuy. all of the records were spilled all over the place. I also picked up a john cage record at the same spot. go figure...
	11:39am goes211: Only place to be...WFMU!
	11:40am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 Celebrating with the family takes on a lot of dimensions. Not always as straightforward festive as in the tv commercials. Hold on to the good parts.
	11:42am Yes: Jams
	11:42am Andres: ↳ Song: "Come Let M Love You" by "Jeanette "Lady" Day" Tons of gold in these Prelude 12”s!
	11:42am love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 My empathy goes out to you, decline & dementia take their toll on the whole family, and friends. Go with the flow with your mom, and if she's still talking, enjoy that.
	11:43am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:40 yeah, i got to zen out, since my father threw out my sound system, dj equipment, library, kitchenware, etc.... luckily, alcohol calms me as opposed to many people...
	11:45am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:42 she can't hold a cognitive linear conversation. she was able to on good days until last june when i would call her.....
	11:47am nortonjutland: Great show Jack! thanks
	11:47am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:42 et merci bien!
	11:48am Jack Mello: that's it for me today, thanks so much for tuning in, have a happy turkey or veggie day, been a blast. thanks trouble, bye bye my lovelies. xoxoxoxo
	11:49am Andrea C: ↳ Jack Mello @11:48 thank you Jack! amazing show! happy thanksgiving to you and everyone here!
	11:50am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:43 Those scales are heavily stacked the other way. But your nieces sounded awesome when you mentioned them previously so enjoy the kiddos!
	11:51am Andres: ↳ Jack Mello @11:48 Always a blast when you come to visit!! Thanks, Jack!!
	11:52am northguineahills: Jack, gracias por el regalo! feliz thanksgiving, todos!
	11:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:45 there was this story about a nursing home with people with dementia who would keep trying to leave the home on their own and staff would have to search the community for them, so they built a bus stop in front of the building wher they could always find thge people waiting for the bus which would never come, sometimes you have to build your own bus stop in situations like that, hope i'm remembering story correctly...
	11:53am love2laf: Thank you Jack, much appreciated the morning sounds you brought :) @ngh the loss of speech isn't always constant. My Dad actually found the capacity to be almost chatty intermittently at the end. I hope you're lucky and get that gift.
	11:53am dreamyandseedy: thank you Jack, enjoyed the show!
	11:54am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:53 she can technically talk, she no longer has the cognitive aptitude to carry a conversation.
	11:55am Kat in the chat: Thank you Jack!!
	11:56am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:53 my maternal grandmother didn't have dementia, but she would escape her home on the regular, and be found 10-15 miles away before she was found. (my parents got a lot of late night calls when I was a kid).
	11:57am northguineahills: ↳ dreamyandseedy @11:53 D&S!
	11:58am dreamyandseedy: ↳ northguineahills @11:57 hi and bye lol or see you for DNotS!
	👻 11:59am Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Jack!!!

	9:56am Andrea C: ↳ chresti @9:55 I need to listen to them again. It's been a while. I vaguely recall the main refrain of that song. off the top of my head I wouldn't attribute hip hop adjective. But it's been a long time, so :)
	9:57am Chrissy T: Hello all, wishing you all a day filled with fun, family and great music
	9:59am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "Safe from Harm" by "Massive Attack" her factoid: when I was living in Bristol I attended the 2017 (16?) Massive Attack concert in Clifton. Under the pouring "rain" (it was a loots of rain). Nobody cared. nor MA on stage, nor us in the field dancing in a pool. Went home in a taxi and then a looong hot bath to gain my limbs back.

	10:22am chinn: ↳ Song: "I Want You Now" by "Liza Minnelli" Was def not expecting to hear 80s Liza Minnelli remixes this Thanksgiving. What a delightful surprise.
	10:31am Jack Mello: dig the snap/crackle/pop!
	10:37am love2laf: Just realised that it's Turkey day, with no birds on Jack's fill-in, and Pseu's fill-in Julie is coming in to the Magic Factory so we won't hear her birds on the mic breaks. That's a lot of bird juxtapositioning right there....
	10:38am john_zilla: ↳ Song: "Where Love Lives (Classic mix)" by "Alison Limerick" oh yes oh yes
	10:46am chresti: ↳ love2laf @10:37 A sad day for birds!

	10:58am chresti: Oh wow!
	11:04am Windy City: Great set to cook by Im moving faster than expected
	11:04am chresti: The turkey oven stopped working yesterday. Franco was preparing for today, yesterday, no heat in his moms electric oven, so no cooked birds today!

	11:06am love2laf: ↳ chresti @11:04 Oooof, that's an unhappy state of affairs. Our oven broke a couple of weeks back, and I was glad it did so when our food was just about ready, just not quite hot enough. Hope it's an easy fix.
	11:07am Joey C: Loving the sounds JM. Giving thanks to your selections. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday all.
	11:07am northguineahills: outside of the family thing, my parents don't know how to cook, so, i dread what fare will be serve tonight...(harrowing nightmares of culinary memories of the past)
	11:07am Kat in the chat: No chresti it was at a basement club called Smart Bar, where I spent a LOT of time in the 80s and then again in the 2010s.I never went to The Warehouse, but I went once to the Power Plant which followed it. Both were in industrial areas I wasn’t confident to go to alone (I was very young and new to Chicago), but we got a group together once for the Power Plant.
	11:08am northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:07 Kat!
	11:08am northguineahills: ↳ chresti @11:04 chresti, she ain't have no turkey!

	11:10am Kat in the chat: Stay strong ngh :)
	11:10am Lana in Bucksom County: Soooo grateful for your music hosting this day, Jack - pure joy. Definitely will be revisited again and again. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all!
	11:12am love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 Erin is having a lovely morning snoozing in front of the fire. Hope your Thanksgiving meal and experience is way better than your expectations.
	11:13am Jack Mello: ↳ Lana in Bucksom County @11:10 thanks so much, Lana. enjoy yr T-day!
	11:14am Yes: This station saves. Morning all
	11:15am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:12 the last past 7 years we've gone to my brother's Colombian brother-in-law's, who's parents know how to cook. but my mother is too frail to travel this year, so....
	11:16am tom tom the pipers son: good morning, the music has the holiday feel....
	11:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @11:04 oh no, it sucks how this stupid holiday sets us up with expectations and disappointment
	11:20am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 I'm perfectly able to set everyone else up for disappointment on any given day! 😉
	11:24am northguineahills: ↳ Yes @11:14 YASSS!!, what yes said!!!
	11:24am Matthew_London: Get in!
	11:26am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:15 Colombian fare or traditional bird and sides?
	11:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:20 made me chuckle, out of identification, but that all change soon... good luck witrh the fam, put your blinders on and try hanging with your nieces. still i'm sure you family will be relieved and supportive of recent job news. the J-O-B thing is important to family esp conservative ones
	11:27am love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @11:15 Getting old is not for the faint of heart, we live long enough, we get frail. Will be hoping it's a kind celebration, if not a feast.
	11:29am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:26 JOB has been driven into my consciousness since HS from my father, but maybe he meant the biblical character, Job...(not to be confused w/ Gob from Arrested Development)
	11:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:29 ha ha! yes, ya gotta laugh...
	11:31am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:26 a little of both, but since my brother and him are married into a Guyanese family, some bengali fare as well....
	11:33am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:31 I like the sound of that!
	11:33am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:27 My mother was physically on the decline for the last decade, and dementia showed up four yers ago. she's only 74. my father called me yesterday at 8:30am to ask if i was coming as it might be my mom's last t-giving. He hasn't called me himself in over a year, so i know it's serious.
	11:35am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "It Should Have Been You" by "Gwen Guthrie" I picked this up in a junk shop in bed stuy. all of the records were spilled all over the place. I also picked up a john cage record at the same spot. go figure...
	11:39am goes211: Only place to be...WFMU!
	11:40am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 Celebrating with the family takes on a lot of dimensions. Not always as straightforward festive as in the tv commercials. Hold on to the good parts.
	11:42am Yes: Jams
	11:42am Andres: ↳ Song: "Come Let M Love You" by "Jeanette "Lady" Day" Tons of gold in these Prelude 12”s!
	11:42am love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 My empathy goes out to you, decline & dementia take their toll on the whole family, and friends. Go with the flow with your mom, and if she's still talking, enjoy that.
	11:43am northguineahills: ↳ Andres @11:40 yeah, i got to zen out, since my father threw out my sound system, dj equipment, library, kitchenware, etc.... luckily, alcohol calms me as opposed to many people...
	11:45am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:42 she can't hold a cognitive linear conversation. she was able to on good days until last june when i would call her.....
	11:47am nortonjutland: Great show Jack! thanks
	11:47am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:42 et merci bien!
	11:48am Jack Mello: that's it for me today, thanks so much for tuning in, have a happy turkey or veggie day, been a blast. thanks trouble, bye bye my lovelies. xoxoxoxo
	11:49am Andrea C: ↳ Jack Mello @11:48 thank you Jack! amazing show! happy thanksgiving to you and everyone here!
	11:50am Andres: ↳ northguineahills @11:43 Those scales are heavily stacked the other way. But your nieces sounded awesome when you mentioned them previously so enjoy the kiddos!
	11:51am Andres: ↳ Jack Mello @11:48 Always a blast when you come to visit!! Thanks, Jack!!
	11:52am northguineahills: Jack, gracias por el regalo! feliz thanksgiving, todos!
	11:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:45 there was this story about a nursing home with people with dementia who would keep trying to leave the home on their own and staff would have to search the community for them, so they built a bus stop in front of the building wher they could always find thge people waiting for the bus which would never come, sometimes you have to build your own bus stop in situations like that, hope i'm remembering story correctly...
	11:53am love2laf: Thank you Jack, much appreciated the morning sounds you brought :) @ngh the loss of speech isn't always constant. My Dad actually found the capacity to be almost chatty intermittently at the end. I hope you're lucky and get that gift.
	11:53am dreamyandseedy: thank you Jack, enjoyed the show!
	11:54am northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @11:53 she can technically talk, she no longer has the cognitive aptitude to carry a conversation.
	11:55am Kat in the chat: Thank you Jack!!
	11:56am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:53 my maternal grandmother didn't have dementia, but she would escape her home on the regular, and be found 10-15 miles away before she was found. (my parents got a lot of late night calls when I was a kid).
	11:57am northguineahills: ↳ dreamyandseedy @11:53 D&S!
	11:58am dreamyandseedy: ↳ northguineahills @11:57 hi and bye lol or see you for DNotS!
	👻 11:59am Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Jack!!!
