	8:03pm TDK60: Hello Gary.
	8:03pm monkeyz: cheers
	♥ 8:05pm Gary: Hey there, Henry, RevRab, TDK60, and Monkeyz!
	8:05pm peter: (Actually in all seriousness I do find cassette easier than vinyl, mostly because I just obsess over the cleaning, click removal, etc. stages on LP.. whereas cassette is usually just about as good as it’s gonna get after pass one, barring the extreme fix-up cases)
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:05 Touche, good points
	8:06pm northguineahills: ↳ peter @8:05 just keep them out of the sun and salt water...
	8:06pm Jill B: Gary, It ill be treacherously cold when you are here. Pack lots of warm clothes/layers!
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: For me the difficulty is finding the danged track when I need it on the looooooong cassette
	♥ 8:07pm Gary: ↳ Jill B @8:06 Yikes! I might need to buy boots when I'm out there
	8:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Suite Al Culto Solar - Ketzalkoatl Yauh Miktlan" ... me gusta...... y nueva para mi, y digdug!
	8:15pm Carmichael: Pop goes the bodega! Heya Gary and world.
	8:16pm TDK60: ↳ Gary @8:06 Searching a tape for the correct place is a part of life. I practice deep breathing, or practice insults.
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: Carmichael!
	8:18pm Jill B: For sure!
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: ↳ TDK60 @8:16 I feel like I had a cassette player at one time where you could fast forward it on a certain settiging and it stopped between tracks so you could skip tracks and get to the next one without having to guess where it started
	♥ 8:21pm Bobby: Hello Gary and friends!
	8:21pm Jill B: What happened to the sound?
	♥ 8:22pm Gary: Bobby!
	8:23pm TDK60: ↳ Gary @8:18 Yeah, some decks have that feature. I used to do that.
	♥ 8:24pm Gary: ↳ Jill B @8:21 Mom, the sound seems to be okay -- maybe reboot?
	8:25pm Listener Gregory: Hello, Gary and Bo-peeps. I'm really sorry I'm so late. The holidays have just really messed with my schedule.
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Gregory! Shame on you!
	♥ 8:27pm Gary: Music is about timing! Timing is everything!
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @8:26 On the positive side, I did get dinner.
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:28 Did you bring enough for everyone?
	8:30pm TDK60: Really interesting stuff, this set.
	8:31pm Jill B: Got it!
	8:31pm Carmichael: Sony TKC tape deck finds spaces between songs. I used to own one back in the 90s. Unless you’re a champion mixmaster, then there are no spaces.
	♥ 8:32pm doctorjazz: Dinner done, just gonna sit her for a bit.
	8:36pm Listener Gregory: Pro tip, Gary: If the artist’s name is Nigel, he is British. Otherwise, probably American.
	8:37pm TDK60: Another tip, Gary. I can tell Brits. They dress smart. Americans are sloppy dressers, can't even be Mods. No.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:38pm mackeral: been hearing Humbert on WFMU more recently, love it
	♥ 8:38pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:36 I've made a "mental" note!

	8:54pm peter: This is my kinda track
	♥ 8:55pm Gary: This Doukkali single is a 1-2 punch of BRAWL-PACKED SOPHISTICATION
	8:56pm emily_w: ↳ Gary @8:55 It's so good!!
	♥ 8:57pm Gary: Side One's even MORE brawl-packed, more sophisticated: arabicsinglesgoingsteady.blogspot.com...
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Why isn’t this, “Baby, c’est toi?” Oh, doesn’t rhyme.
	♥ 8:59pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:59 Don't do the crime if it ain't got that rhyme
	9:02pm Dean: My debut--as a debutante--was in 1972. I was 13.
	9:03pm Dean: Funny, I kept hearing Neil Diamond in that "Ah Ya Yalyam." For a moment I thought it was a cover of "Sweet Caroline."
	9:03pm Listener Gregory: I missed the show’s beginning… Is Gary drinking cough syrup?
	9:04pm Dean: Oooh, Chinese opera! Does some of this appear on those Hugo recordings?
	9:05pm peter: ..runs towards screaming..
	9:05pm tim abdellah: I am ready for this!
	9:06pm Dean: I'll answer my own question. No. Hugo includes no vocal music. https://www.discogs.com/release/24468740-Various-The-Hugo-Masters-An-Anthology-Of-Chinese-Classical-Music

	♥ 9:13pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:04 Dean! It's on the Fung Hang Records Co. label
	♥ 9:14pm Gary: We're listening to this version, but on LP rather than cassette: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:14pm mackeral: I've only scratched the surface of this stuff, so much to learn. I have Princess Hundred Flowers, Peking style. killer www.discogs.com...
	9:15pm peter: just the other night i watched The Prodigal Son by Sammo Hung which features a lot of excellent opera content
	9:15pm Listener Gregory: I understand this a lot better than Turandot, which I saw (with subtitles) for the first time this week. (No, I don’t speak Mandarin.) (Or English, really.)
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: ↳ mackeral @9:14 Great mask on that cover!
	♥ 9:16pm Gary: ↳ peter @9:15 Oh shoot -- I think I have that on DVD? I can't remember if I saw it yet tho
	♥ 9:16pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:15 My copy comes with lyrics so you can sing along Gregory!
	♥ 9:17pm chresti: Enjoying immensely
	9:17pm Dean: Let a 1000 tenors bloom!
	9:17pm peter: Lam Ching-ying plays a Wing Chun kung fu master hiding out as an actor playing the female parts in a traveling troupe
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: ↳ peter @9:17 That sounds super-familiar, mebbe I did see?
	♥ 9:19pm tom tom the pipers son: strange but i'm hearing a similarity with certain indian popular music...the high pitched female voice and somewhat similar string phrasings
	9:21pm Listener Gregory: @tom tom, good point.
	9:22pm rw: The plot is beginning to thicken...
	♥ 9:24pm Gary: RW!
	♥ 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's a Japanese Horror film about an Invisible Man who is determined to see his beloved give a Traditional performance - which dooms him - & she is duty bound to see it thru from start to finish. A sort of Phantom of the Opera motif I suppose...
	♥ 9:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:19 i don't particularly like the type of indian music so i don't know what it's called, if it has a name.
	9:25pm rw: I don't trust the character with the deeper voice.
	9:26pm Dean: It seems this opera made it to Quadraphonic. Maybe an excerpt? Something similarly titled? Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to listen to this beyond my superficial admiration for the way it takes the road it's taking.
	9:29pm Dean: https://t.ly/yLIBl
	9:31pm Listener Gregory: I have written three comments and erased each one. You’re welcome!
	♥ 9:34pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:31 Thank you, thank you, thank you?
	♥ 9:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Maner 2" by "Jogun & Iamun" neat overtones, was listening to stuff w/ overtones on ridgewood radio
	9:37pm Listener Gregory: Trying to imagine a bamboo jew’s harp…
	♥ 9:39pm WR: ↳ Dean @9:26 Here is Hong Kong gov cultural site info on film version of the opera. Page available in English and two flavors of Chinese. Can perhaps help parse the many hits on youtube get the right one. www.filmarchive.gov.hk...
	♥ 9:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:37 could imagine a jaw harp playing along
	9:42pm Dean: Good background, WR. Thanks.
	9:43pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Al Wad الواد (Al Keya)" by "Moualine Nouba موالين... This track is so nice! Never heard of this group 'til I saw this on Arabic Singles Going Steady!
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @9:43 I think this was a Bay of e purchase? But might have been something I got on Discogs
	♥ 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: when a listener commented this morning that his jew's harp was hurting his teeth, i joked it was all a conspiracy of the jewish dental industry. unfortunately that 'theory' is probably already out there
	♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: aipac is another matter though
	♥ 9:48pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:46 A conspiracy, right?
	♥ 9:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @9:48 not exactly that but a 'strongarm-er' reason why congress is not calling for ceasefire, they're all beholden to aipac
	♥ 9:51pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:52pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:48 Ah
	♥ 9:53pm Gary: Stick around after this mess for the always-already clean and spiffy Sam Segal and his If You Lose Your Horse Players! Tonight's episode: Cucumber Education to Support the Horse's Matriculation wfmu.org...
	9:54pm TDK60: Thanks from the other borough, DJ Gary.
	9:54pm Carmichael: All you gotta say is “it’s an election year “.
	9:55pm tim abdellah: Thx for the freeform flow, Gary - great way to start the new year!
	9:55pm headcleaner: Fine stuff tonite, Gary
	♥ 9:55pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks gary...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:55pm mackeral: best place on the internet, thanks Gary!
	9:56pm TDK60: ↳ Carmichael @9:54 There's more to say: cowardice, mendacity, complicity, etc.
	9:58pm rw: TYGS!
	9:59pm Mike W.: Just got here! Did I miss much? [looks] oh
	9:59pm emily_w: Thanks for a great show as always, Gary!!
	♥ 9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Gary. I heard music.
	♥ 9:59pm WR: Thank you! Gary!

	8:21pm Jill B: What happened to the sound?
	♥ 8:22pm Gary: Bobby!
	8:23pm TDK60: ↳ Gary @8:18 Yeah, some decks have that feature. I used to do that.
	♥ 8:24pm Gary: ↳ Jill B @8:21 Mom, the sound seems to be okay -- maybe reboot?
	8:25pm Listener Gregory: Hello, Gary and Bo-peeps. I'm really sorry I'm so late. The holidays have just really messed with my schedule.
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Gregory! Shame on you!
	♥ 8:27pm Gary: Music is about timing! Timing is everything!
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @8:26 On the positive side, I did get dinner.
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:28 Did you bring enough for everyone?
	8:30pm TDK60: Really interesting stuff, this set.
	8:31pm Jill B: Got it!
	8:31pm Carmichael: Sony TKC tape deck finds spaces between songs. I used to own one back in the 90s. Unless you’re a champion mixmaster, then there are no spaces.
	♥ 8:32pm doctorjazz: Dinner done, just gonna sit her for a bit.
	8:36pm Listener Gregory: Pro tip, Gary: If the artist’s name is Nigel, he is British. Otherwise, probably American.
	8:37pm TDK60: Another tip, Gary. I can tell Brits. They dress smart. Americans are sloppy dressers, can't even be Mods. No.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:38pm mackeral: been hearing Humbert on WFMU more recently, love it

	8:56pm emily_w: ↳ Gary @8:55 It's so good!!
	♥ 8:57pm Gary: Side One's even MORE brawl-packed, more sophisticated: arabicsinglesgoingsteady.blogspot.com...
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: Why isn’t this, “Baby, c’est toi?” Oh, doesn’t rhyme.
	♥ 8:59pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:59 Don't do the crime if it ain't got that rhyme
	9:02pm Dean: My debut--as a debutante--was in 1972. I was 13.
	9:03pm Dean: Funny, I kept hearing Neil Diamond in that "Ah Ya Yalyam." For a moment I thought it was a cover of "Sweet Caroline."
	9:03pm Listener Gregory: I missed the show’s beginning… Is Gary drinking cough syrup?
	9:04pm Dean: Oooh, Chinese opera! Does some of this appear on those Hugo recordings?
	9:05pm peter: ..runs towards screaming..
	9:05pm tim abdellah: I am ready for this!
	9:06pm Dean: I'll answer my own question. No. Hugo includes no vocal music. https://www.discogs.com/release/24468740-Various-The-Hugo-Masters-An-Anthology-Of-Chinese-Classical-Music

	♥ 9:14pm Gary: We're listening to this version, but on LP rather than cassette: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:14pm mackeral: I've only scratched the surface of this stuff, so much to learn. I have Princess Hundred Flowers, Peking style. killer www.discogs.com...
	9:15pm peter: just the other night i watched The Prodigal Son by Sammo Hung which features a lot of excellent opera content
	9:15pm Listener Gregory: I understand this a lot better than Turandot, which I saw (with subtitles) for the first time this week. (No, I don’t speak Mandarin.) (Or English, really.)
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: ↳ mackeral @9:14 Great mask on that cover!
	♥ 9:16pm Gary: ↳ peter @9:15 Oh shoot -- I think I have that on DVD? I can't remember if I saw it yet tho

	9:17pm Dean: Let a 1000 tenors bloom!
	9:17pm peter: Lam Ching-ying plays a Wing Chun kung fu master hiding out as an actor playing the female parts in a traveling troupe
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: ↳ peter @9:17 That sounds super-familiar, mebbe I did see?
	♥ 9:19pm tom tom the pipers son: strange but i'm hearing a similarity with certain indian popular music...the high pitched female voice and somewhat similar string phrasings
	9:21pm Listener Gregory: @tom tom, good point.
	9:22pm rw: The plot is beginning to thicken...
	♥ 9:24pm Gary: RW!
	♥ 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's a Japanese Horror film about an Invisible Man who is determined to see his beloved give a Traditional performance - which dooms him - & she is duty bound to see it thru from start to finish. A sort of Phantom of the Opera motif I suppose...
	♥ 9:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:19 i don't particularly like the type of indian music so i don't know what it's called, if it has a name.
	9:25pm rw: I don't trust the character with the deeper voice.
	9:26pm Dean: It seems this opera made it to Quadraphonic. Maybe an excerpt? Something similarly titled? Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to listen to this beyond my superficial admiration for the way it takes the road it's taking.
	9:29pm Dean: https://t.ly/yLIBl
	9:31pm Listener Gregory: I have written three comments and erased each one. You’re welcome!

	9:37pm Listener Gregory: Trying to imagine a bamboo jew’s harp…
	♥ 9:39pm WR: ↳ Dean @9:26 Here is Hong Kong gov cultural site info on film version of the opera. Page available in English and two flavors of Chinese. Can perhaps help parse the many hits on youtube get the right one. www.filmarchive.gov.hk...
	♥ 9:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:37 could imagine a jaw harp playing along
	9:42pm Dean: Good background, WR. Thanks.
	9:43pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Al Wad الواد (Al Keya)" by "Moualine Nouba موالين... This track is so nice! Never heard of this group 'til I saw this on Arabic Singles Going Steady!
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @9:43 I think this was a Bay of e purchase? But might have been something I got on Discogs
	♥ 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: when a listener commented this morning that his jew's harp was hurting his teeth, i joked it was all a conspiracy of the jewish dental industry. unfortunately that 'theory' is probably already out there
	♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: aipac is another matter though
	♥ 9:48pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:46 A conspiracy, right?
	♥ 9:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @9:48 not exactly that but a 'strongarm-er' reason why congress is not calling for ceasefire, they're all beholden to aipac
	♥ 9:51pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:52pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:48 Ah

	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:55pm mackeral: best place on the internet, thanks Gary!
	9:56pm TDK60: ↳ Carmichael @9:54 There's more to say: cowardice, mendacity, complicity, etc.
	9:58pm rw: TYGS!
