	12:55am Barrie Lynn: Good lord, y'all. The Richter-Schumann is really overwhelming. For our mom. Really. Great selection, Cullan.
	🎻 12:56am chresti: play it again?
	12:57am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @12:53 hey paulo, that podcast is great, all the background, i listened to about half and had to stop, thought my head was going to explode, and all the cage material, thanks
	12:57am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Fantasie, Op 17: III. Langsam getragen (1838)" by... So comforting. I'm buttering some toast, then going to bed. Off to a great start!

	1:00am Gaylord Fields: From Conlon Nancarrow to the Beatles cutting-and-pasting themselves: I could grow to love this show. What an auspicious debut and Christmas gift of a show!
	1:01am spodiodi: ↳ chresti @12:45 hi chresti!\\// i tried that, and usually do, i also tried using developer's tools to modifay the css, but no love/would have taken more effort than it was worth --- not the first time i've seen this problem... usually it'a case of the show's name being too long (/toomany characters) ---- so what you tried, and what worked for you makes complete sense. (good thinking)!
	1:01am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:57 Ahhh great, glad you enjoyed it :)
	🎻 1:02am chresti: ↳ Song: "The Beatles 1968 Christmas Record" by "The Beatles" almost monty python!
	1:02am Paulo AD: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:54 Ola buddie :) hope youre having a great day
	1:03am Paulo AD: ↳ chresti @1:02 It's very python, but more goon show I think
	1:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:01 its so well done, but i did notice a mistake about andy warhol
	1:03am Gaylord Fields: ↳ chresti @1:02 Hiya, chresti! Both were strongly influenced by the Goons.
	1:04am UWS Joe: Happy Christmas WFMU!!!! Love you all
	1:04am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:03 Yeah there a few during the seasons but he always has a good response if he's made an error. No ego on the man
	1:04am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:03 Haha called it 😂
	1:04am Paulo AD: ↳ UWS Joe @1:04 Love you too :)
	🎻 1:07am chresti: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:03 Hi Gaylord and Paulo! was Goons a show or band? I don't remember hearing them!
	1:08am Erik-Overt: I’m partial to North American CROWS ! (w/ the FOX as a back-up). Funnily enough - they are in a symbiotic relationship - often scolding each other.
	1:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:04 there's such a stronger tradition of radio in britian someone like him has a wealth of things to model themselves on for doing a podcast
	1:09am coelacanth∅: this is Beautiful... but sadly sounds like a very lossy mp3
	1:10am spodiodi: Gimbles. wow. been a while
	1:10am spodiodi: i had one of their tv jingles stuck in my head a week or two ago
	1:11am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:04 You beat me to the answer by mere seconds! I envy you people with evident typing ability!
	1:11am coelacanth∅: i'm distantly related to jp morgan but it'd be hilarious to ask me for money
	1:11am ViolaChica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:09 it's a very old recording!
	1:12am David: Nice Ukrainian thread!
	1:12am tom tom the pipers son: was this used in 'christmas vacation'
	1:13am Gaylord Fields: ↳ chresti @1:07 The Goons were an absurdist comedy troupe who did a much-beloved and highly influential radio show on the BBC in the 1950s. Peter Sellers got his start on The Goon Show. en.wikipedia.org...
	1:13am David: Prokofiev was born in Ukraine
	1:15am coelacanth∅: yes the recording is fine, but it deserves a lossless reproduction. that mp3 is polluted with digital artifacts.
	1:15am coelacanth∅: (shchedryk)
	1:18am Barrie Lynn: Cobbler's children have no shoes...
	1:19am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:11 Hahaha sorry
	1:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Barrie Lynn @1:18 ...and the old woman who lived in a shoe....
	1:20am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:13 Harry Seacombe is Welsh too, reminds me of my grampa
	1:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:20 i'm up to part in podcast where he talks about john cale's welsh childhood
	1:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Carol & Cullan and deadly listeners!
	1:22am ViolaChica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:15 yes, you are right. Cullan is confirming. the mp3 is the closest we could get to the original vinyl
	1:22am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:21 Yes, we are very proud of him
	1:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:22 difficult childhood
	1:23am ViolaChica: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:21 Hello and Merry XMas
	1:24am spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 (1712?)" ... :)
	1:24am Barrie Lynn: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:13 Peter Sellers is a big influence on my brother and I. Of course, Cullan's impersonation 10 minutes ago was a bit Monty Python
	1:24am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:20 As I once pointed out, my worst traceable ancestors were Welsh émigrés to the Southern US in the late 18th–early 19th century (and all that entails historically, if you catch my drift).
	1:25am ViolaChica: ↳ spodiodi @1:24 <3 <3
	1:26am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:24 Oh wow, I'd love to here more. I've specifically been to patagonia to see the the Welsh immigrant community. I got told of for not speaking cymreag
	1:27am coelacanth∅: ↳ ViolaChica @1:22 it's better than nothing! ...i'm looking around discogs and there's no sign of it
	1:27am coelacanth∅: (not that i could afford it... i'm just curious)
	1:29am Paulo AD: My wife has got me the best christmas present ever. It's a calendar of pooping dogs haha
	1:31am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:26 I'm fascinated by British Isles communities in the Americas. That must have been a great experience, despite the admonishment you received. As for my Welsh forebears, it's a rather ugly story, actually, but what they did (and then undid) to one of my African ancestors became case law in antebellum South Carolina. Nonetheless, I've forgiven them enough to have stayed at Portmeirion in North Wales (aka The Village from The Prisoner).
	1:31am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Paulo AD @1:29 Girlie calendars have Miss January, Miss February, etc. You get Mess January, Mess February, etc.
	1:33am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:31 Oh right, I'm with you!! Not great.
	1:34am Up too late in Midtown: An amazing piece! That Bach knew what he was doing...
	1:34am spodiodi: wow
	1:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:31 Port meirion is mental to be fair haha. I'm from south Wales, fro the town Paul robeson went to and equated us with your struggle ( such a british was of saying something bad)
	1:37am tom tom the pipers son: bach = motorik
	1:38am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:35 I have a friend who is Afro-Welsh from Cardiff (her father was an Afro-Scot!), and her sister was an extra in the film Tiger Bay when she was a child.
	1:39am Jim the Poet: Merry Christmas!
	1:41am ViolaChica: ↳ Jim the Poet @1:39 Hey Jim the Poet aka Santa! Thanks for the warm welcome tonight. Merry XMas to you and yours!!
	1:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:38 Yeah that's the big afro community, that's where Shirley is from, absolute legend we can all agree
	1:42am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:38 BTW dude, I'll be in NYC on the 27 Jan if you'd like a beer or two
	1:43am Paulo AD: ↳ Jim the Poet @1:39 Merry Christmas my friend, you're responsible for possible the biggest belly laugh I've had this year. You and Brian during marathon
	1:44am Gaylord Fields: That would be cool! Drop me a line on my WFMU email. You know how to find it, yes?
	1:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:43 i remember that during a fill in for carol
	1:45am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:44 Urrrmmmmm no but I can figure it out :)
	1:46am Paulo AD: Found it
	1:47am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:46 Click on my name and you'll see my avatar, and next to that the word (Contact) — then bob's yer uncle!
	1:47am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:47 And fanny's your aunt :)
	1:48am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:47 Sweet Fanny Adams herself!
	1:48am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:48 Hahaha love it :)
	1:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Latin Parang" by "Colleen Grant" reminiscent of a stevie wonder song?
	1:53am tom tom the pipers son: another star
	1:54am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 It was them laughing at each other, I nearly called in to join in
	1:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:54 yes, they were a lot of fun
	1:57am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:53 yes (now that you mention it)
	1:58am David: He’s making a Liszt and checking it twice…
	1:58am Paulo AD: OK, we've put christmas films on so I'll see you all later. All my love and merry Christmas
	1:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:57 ah, thought i was the only one hearing it...

	2:08am JnJ and PnL in Berkeley: Whatcha doing up so late, anyway?
	2:10am Eric the Hat: Wait!
	2:11am Jim the Poet: ↳ ViolaChica @1:41 great first show!!!
	2:17am Eric the Hat: I thought I head a quote from Rite Of Spring in that Nutcracker except.
	2:17am ViolaChica: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:11 Thank you SO MUCH! This studio is filled with inspiration and history! We are honored to be here.
	2:17am Eric the Hat: Probably that cognac and strawberry cough. lol
	2:17am mark/: Mahalia nice!!
	2:18am ViolaChica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:06 I think it depends on the interpretation. The ABT 70s performance is one of my personal favs!
	2:19am Barrie Lynn: Mahalia Jackson was the inspiration for Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. "Tell them about the dream, Martin!"
	2:20am mark: also saw snead with my daughter at Dylan tribute show in 92 when she was booed off the stage by the morons at msg
	2:22am Eric the Hat: ↳ mark @2:20 SNEAD!

	2:26am Eric the Hat: ↳ mark @2:24 I figured as much. I just love snead. I think it’s bonkers how much adversity Sinead met in her career. Honestly just pathetic. Especially about the SNL pope picture thing?

	2:32am mark: I could write a long story about this migrant experience almost all venenzuelans 800 /more than half kids..great spirit and kindness very tough country venenzuela to live in now...denver has some great people working/helping them.i know the least Spanish, but learning more each day...only been three days...

	3:00am Hubig Pie: Venite adoremus!
	4:50am Pianoman: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:30 Yes that's why he hot-rodded player pianos to play his stuff
	4:54am Pianoman: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:32 Classical music moved into tonality and calmed down a lot, mostly spearheaded by the avant-gardists who mellowed as they got older, or felt they had run it into the ground. But the broader sense of the term "avant-garde" really includes Gesualdo, Beethoven, Liszt, and more
	5:01am Pianoman: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:00 Thank you so much Gaylord!
	8:49am WR: Goldang it, I had to go lead the sleigh last night and now come back and no archive?!?!?!?!?

	🎻 12:56am chresti: play it again?
	12:57am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @12:53 hey paulo, that podcast is great, all the background, i listened to about half and had to stop, thought my head was going to explode, and all the cage material, thanks
	12:57am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Fantasie, Op 17: III. Langsam getragen (1838)" by... So comforting. I'm buttering some toast, then going to bed. Off to a great start!

	1:00am Gaylord Fields: From Conlon Nancarrow to the Beatles cutting-and-pasting themselves: I could grow to love this show. What an auspicious debut and Christmas gift of a show!
	1:01am spodiodi: ↳ chresti @12:45 hi chresti!\\// i tried that, and usually do, i also tried using developer's tools to modifay the css, but no love/would have taken more effort than it was worth --- not the first time i've seen this problem... usually it'a case of the show's name being too long (/toomany characters) ---- so what you tried, and what worked for you makes complete sense. (good thinking)!
	1:01am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:57 Ahhh great, glad you enjoyed it :)
	🎻 1:02am chresti: ↳ Song: "The Beatles 1968 Christmas Record" by "The Beatles" almost monty python!
	1:02am Paulo AD: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:54 Ola buddie :) hope youre having a great day
	1:03am Paulo AD: ↳ chresti @1:02 It's very python, but more goon show I think
	1:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:01 its so well done, but i did notice a mistake about andy warhol
	1:03am Gaylord Fields: ↳ chresti @1:02 Hiya, chresti! Both were strongly influenced by the Goons.
	1:04am UWS Joe: Happy Christmas WFMU!!!! Love you all
	1:04am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:03 Yeah there a few during the seasons but he always has a good response if he's made an error. No ego on the man
	1:04am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:03 Haha called it 😂
	1:04am Paulo AD: ↳ UWS Joe @1:04 Love you too :)
	🎻 1:07am chresti: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:03 Hi Gaylord and Paulo! was Goons a show or band? I don't remember hearing them!
	1:08am Erik-Overt: I’m partial to North American CROWS ! (w/ the FOX as a back-up). Funnily enough - they are in a symbiotic relationship - often scolding each other.
	1:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:04 there's such a stronger tradition of radio in britian someone like him has a wealth of things to model themselves on for doing a podcast
	1:09am coelacanth∅: this is Beautiful... but sadly sounds like a very lossy mp3
	1:10am spodiodi: Gimbles. wow. been a while
	1:10am spodiodi: i had one of their tv jingles stuck in my head a week or two ago
	1:11am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:04 You beat me to the answer by mere seconds! I envy you people with evident typing ability!
	1:11am coelacanth∅: i'm distantly related to jp morgan but it'd be hilarious to ask me for money
	1:11am ViolaChica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:09 it's a very old recording!
	1:12am David: Nice Ukrainian thread!
	1:12am tom tom the pipers son: was this used in 'christmas vacation'
	1:13am Gaylord Fields: ↳ chresti @1:07 The Goons were an absurdist comedy troupe who did a much-beloved and highly influential radio show on the BBC in the 1950s. Peter Sellers got his start on The Goon Show. en.wikipedia.org...
	1:13am David: Prokofiev was born in Ukraine
	1:15am coelacanth∅: yes the recording is fine, but it deserves a lossless reproduction. that mp3 is polluted with digital artifacts.
	1:15am coelacanth∅: (shchedryk)
	1:18am Barrie Lynn: Cobbler's children have no shoes...
	1:19am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:11 Hahaha sorry
	1:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Barrie Lynn @1:18 ...and the old woman who lived in a shoe....
	1:20am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:13 Harry Seacombe is Welsh too, reminds me of my grampa
	1:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:20 i'm up to part in podcast where he talks about john cale's welsh childhood
	1:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Carol & Cullan and deadly listeners!

	1:22am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:21 Yes, we are very proud of him
	1:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:22 difficult childhood

	1:24am spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 (1712?)" ... :)
	1:24am Barrie Lynn: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:13 Peter Sellers is a big influence on my brother and I. Of course, Cullan's impersonation 10 minutes ago was a bit Monty Python
	1:24am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:20 As I once pointed out, my worst traceable ancestors were Welsh émigrés to the Southern US in the late 18th–early 19th century (and all that entails historically, if you catch my drift).
	1:25am ViolaChica: ↳ spodiodi @1:24 <3 <3
	1:26am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:24 Oh wow, I'd love to here more. I've specifically been to patagonia to see the the Welsh immigrant community. I got told of for not speaking cymreag
	1:27am coelacanth∅: ↳ ViolaChica @1:22 it's better than nothing! ...i'm looking around discogs and there's no sign of it
	1:27am coelacanth∅: (not that i could afford it... i'm just curious)
	1:29am Paulo AD: My wife has got me the best christmas present ever. It's a calendar of pooping dogs haha
	1:31am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:26 I'm fascinated by British Isles communities in the Americas. That must have been a great experience, despite the admonishment you received. As for my Welsh forebears, it's a rather ugly story, actually, but what they did (and then undid) to one of my African ancestors became case law in antebellum South Carolina. Nonetheless, I've forgiven them enough to have stayed at Portmeirion in North Wales (aka The Village from The Prisoner).
	1:31am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Paulo AD @1:29 Girlie calendars have Miss January, Miss February, etc. You get Mess January, Mess February, etc.
	1:33am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:31 Oh right, I'm with you!! Not great.
	1:34am Up too late in Midtown: An amazing piece! That Bach knew what he was doing...
	1:34am spodiodi: wow
	1:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:31 Port meirion is mental to be fair haha. I'm from south Wales, fro the town Paul robeson went to and equated us with your struggle ( such a british was of saying something bad)
	1:37am tom tom the pipers son: bach = motorik
	1:38am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:35 I have a friend who is Afro-Welsh from Cardiff (her father was an Afro-Scot!), and her sister was an extra in the film Tiger Bay when she was a child.
	1:39am Jim the Poet: Merry Christmas!
	1:41am ViolaChica: ↳ Jim the Poet @1:39 Hey Jim the Poet aka Santa! Thanks for the warm welcome tonight. Merry XMas to you and yours!!
	1:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:38 Yeah that's the big afro community, that's where Shirley is from, absolute legend we can all agree
	1:42am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:38 BTW dude, I'll be in NYC on the 27 Jan if you'd like a beer or two
	1:43am Paulo AD: ↳ Jim the Poet @1:39 Merry Christmas my friend, you're responsible for possible the biggest belly laugh I've had this year. You and Brian during marathon

	1:47am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:47 And fanny's your aunt :)
	1:48am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Paulo AD @1:47 Sweet Fanny Adams herself!
	1:48am Paulo AD: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:48 Hahaha love it :)
	1:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Latin Parang" by "Colleen Grant" reminiscent of a stevie wonder song?
	1:53am tom tom the pipers son: another star
	1:54am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:45 It was them laughing at each other, I nearly called in to join in
	1:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @1:54 yes, they were a lot of fun
	1:57am coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:53 yes (now that you mention it)
	1:58am David: He’s making a Liszt and checking it twice…
	1:58am Paulo AD: OK, we've put christmas films on so I'll see you all later. All my love and merry Christmas

	2:10am Eric the Hat: Wait!
	2:11am Jim the Poet: ↳ ViolaChica @1:41 great first show!!!

	2:17am ViolaChica: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:11 Thank you SO MUCH! This studio is filled with inspiration and history! We are honored to be here.
	2:17am Eric the Hat: Probably that cognac and strawberry cough. lol
	2:17am mark/: Mahalia nice!!
	2:18am ViolaChica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:06 I think it depends on the interpretation. The ABT 70s performance is one of my personal favs!
	2:19am Barrie Lynn: Mahalia Jackson was the inspiration for Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. "Tell them about the dream, Martin!"
	2:20am mark: also saw snead with my daughter at Dylan tribute show in 92 when she was booed off the stage by the morons at msg
	2:22am Eric the Hat: ↳ mark @2:20 SNEAD!

	2:26am Eric the Hat: ↳ mark @2:24 I figured as much. I just love snead. I think it’s bonkers how much adversity Sinead met in her career. Honestly just pathetic. Especially about the SNL pope picture thing?

	2:32am mark: I could write a long story about this migrant experience almost all venenzuelans 800 /more than half kids..great spirit and kindness very tough country venenzuela to live in now...denver has some great people working/helping them.i know the least Spanish, but learning more each day...only been three days...

	4:50am Pianoman: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:30 Yes that's why he hot-rodded player pianos to play his stuff
	4:54am Pianoman: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:32 Classical music moved into tonality and calmed down a lot, mostly spearheaded by the avant-gardists who mellowed as they got older, or felt they had run it into the ground. But the broader sense of the term "avant-garde" really includes Gesualdo, Beethoven, Liszt, and more
	5:01am Pianoman: ↳ Gaylord Fields @1:00 Thank you so much Gaylord!
	8:49am WR: Goldang it, I had to go lead the sleigh last night and now come back and no archive?!?!?!?!?
