WFMU: The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from February 4, 2024

Listener comments!
	🕰 6:24pm Listener Gregory: What the hell IS that in the picture???
	6:25pm DJ Peter: Art? You know how to ask for a more complete obfuscation.
	🕰 6:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:25 I'm going to have nightmares tonight.
	6:54pm DJ Peter: It must be a commentary on the cycle that plants go through?
	6:58pm neveract: Hey DJ Peter & Gregory
	🕰 7:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:54 February is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of whatever dead bulb that is under the clock. You may quote me. Hello, @neveract.
	7:03pm doctorjazz: Hey Peter, Clock Watchers!
	7:04pm neveract: Hey doc!
	7:05pm doctorjazz: Cooking dinner (vegetable soup). Spent time catching up with some of my records today-started with the Paul Motian on Broadway Box (g0t to 2 CD's), then the new vinyl Abdullah Ibrahim record. It's 2 LPs, but they're 45 RPM, so it's really like 1.5 albumss.
	7:05pm neveract: I thought Max Roach's birthday was Jan 10..
	7:06pm neveract: I think today is Don Goldie's birthday.
	7:07pm DJ Peter: neveract, great to see you. doc I just picked up the Motian/Bailey on Bandcamp Friday and looking forward to delving in. Love the "broadway" albums esp. the one with Konitz.
	7:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:05 (The Ibrahim is the by the same band I saw him pley with a few months ago. The vinyl sounds great, but the run-in groove on side 1 has click/pop, which stops the minute the music starts. Aggravating, but not enough for me to return it yet. Still have to play sides 3 and 4. The album is very special to this AI fanboy-not his playing from 20-30 years ago, but hits me hard...)
	7:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:07 It's.a great set-not up to the Konitz yet, 1st 2 I played are Lovano/Frisell/Haden/Motian.
	🕰 7:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" I recently picked up a CD of a classical composition of symphony orchestra and concerto, written for Max Roach. After a while I noticed that it was listed as not for sale, making me wonder whether I have an actual "collectors' item." Oooooh! (Composer's name is Tillis, I think, but I don't have the CD at hand now.)
	🕰 7:11pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:05 What is this Motian box of which you speak??? New recordings, or a re-packaging of the JMT and Winter&Winter records?
	7:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:09 If it's Discogs listing "not for sale" it may not be a collector's item but just not meeting their high ethical standards. This is where we are: Discogs is our ethical barometer.
	7:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:08 This Ibrahim set is not getting much buzz, from where I sit... but as I said I've been traveling so maybe out of the loop
	🕰 7:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 No, it said this on the CD. The record featured the UMass orchestra (where the composer and Roach had appointments), and this seems to be something put out by the Music Department or maybe just the composer himself.
	7:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:11 It's a Winter & Winter 5 CD compilation repackaged, 80s and the last ones around 2000. Great stuff!
	7:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 All available on single CD's, though (at least they were). I have some of the CDs, bought the box (up for a trade on the doubles?)
	7:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" There are Black Saint/Soul Note complete boxes floating around (they're out of print, but can still be found at decent prices). I have a few, but not the Max Roach, hmmm....
	7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:14 Oh wow. Is this called "So What" or somesuch?
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 I'll have to check it out. I do have a lot of the original CDs, though. The Konitz one doesn't ring a bell. Please don't make me buy the whole box set just for that one!
	7:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:18 I (shuffles his feet embarassadly) bought the set for the 1 or 2 I was missing...
	7:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:12 So far, I love the set (he's 87 years old, doesn't play like he used to. But he can still play, the tunes are wonderful, and it's sort of a tag team, him and the bass/cello player and reed player. This was just the way they sounded in November at NJPAC.
	7:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 Doesn't "Not for Sale" usually mean it's a promo (DJ, Radio or other) copy?
	7:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:07 Got to see the Motian band with Lovano and Frisell a couple of times, great sets!
	🕰 7:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:17 No... where IS that damned thing? Well, the composer's name is Frederic Tillis, and the piece was probably Ring Shout Concerto. The CD will pop up some day. It's not filed yet.
	🕰 7:25pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:23 Yes, but this was actually printed on the booklet, so I think it was for the performers or donors or something.
	7:25pm adamdoesit: Good evening, DJ Peter and clockers!
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:24 "Not filed yet" covers a big selection of CD's at Chez DoctorJazz (finally got the LPs organized, though. New Racks, alphabetical. CD's, one of these days...)
	🕰 7:26pm Listener Gregory: OK, here it is. Going for $9.95. I'm rich! www.discogs.com...
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @7:25 Hey Adamdoesit, had a nice bike ride?
	7:27pm neveract: Hi adamdoesit
	7:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @7:27 Hi neveract!
	🕰 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" I thought this was more impressive than his other string quartet albums.
	🕰 7:29pm Listener Gregory: OMG, those are two great shows, Peter. Rainey is my favorite drummer.
	7:30pm neveract: What devices, if any, do any of you use to stream music from your computers/phones to your hi-fi?
	7:32pm doctorjazz: I'm going to see Nels Cline on Friday night (as you know). I've seen Cline with Lightcap and with Rainey, neither of which were "out" shows, pretty straight ahead, actually. Which doesn't guarantee anything for the weekend shows, of course, Nels can play like Jim Hall, or he can be out there like nobody's business. As the investor ads like to say, "Attending involves some risk..." Either way should be fun!
	7:33pm doctorjazz: www.discogs.com... www.discogs.com... The Max Roach Black Saint/Soul Note boxes...
	7:33pm DJ Peter: adamdoesit: now here's a man who knows gardening (I'm completely guessing). LG: I've seen Rainey's trio w/ Laubrock and Halvorson. I remember he began one tune by crinkling and shaking a half-filled water bottle. Han Bennink has nothing on Tom Rainey. Doc I can't decide if I want you to "spoil" me before Saturday's Nels Cline show or not... assume not unless you hear different later...
	7:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ neveract @7:30 I am interested too and will eavesdrop on your answers
	🕰 7:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ neveract @7:30 I am considering buying a Cambridge CXN100 or something else from them, but I have to fix some internet connectivity issues first.
	7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:33 I won't spoil the Saturday Matinee show for you, promise! (don't know what they'll do-I have a recording of a house concert of Cline/Lightcap that's very cool, very straight ahead. I went to see Sex Mob with Cline guesting, they skronked and squeeled non-stop, to the dismay of my daughter, who was expecting a fun Sex Mob set) . Who knows what's coming?)
	7:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @7:30 I stream through a Technics SL-G700 CD/SACD Playewr into my stereo (used to use a Slingbox Touch, which I stil have plugged in, but hasn't seen use in a while). Was considering the same Cambridge LG mentioned as well.
	7:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Swing Ghost '59" by "The Nels Cline 4" Seen this group too (Cline is a buddy of a friend, very sweet guy). .
	7:41pm doctorjazz: Actually have a good number of Nels Cline live sets on my hard drive.
	🕰 7:41pm Listener Gregory: Halvorson has a good chance at getting a Grammy tonight, for the first two Amaryllis discs (which somehow were treated as a pair, even though released separately).
	7:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @7:26 Hey doc, I did! I headed under the Verrazano, and felt pretty good, so kept going to Jacob Riis. When I turned around, I understood why I'd felt so good: I'd had a tailwind that became a headwind going home.
	7:45pm DJ Peter: Did the Grammies already get awarded this afternoon? before the telecast?
	🕰 7:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:45 Some did. But as I check out my previous post, it seems it may be all lies. Sorry!
	7:46pm neveract: I'm trying out an ifi Zen Blue v2.. Thanks for the inputs!
	7:47pm adamdoesit: ↳ neveract @7:27 Hey neveract! Sonos here. Their stuff has held up well for me: all of my original speakers from 2012 are still in use. My Connect bit the dust about a year ago, replaced it with a Port. Couple Raspberry Pis in the mix, too.
	🕰 7:48pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @7:47 I use Sonos now, and they are pretty good. My assumption is that a hard-wired connection to a streamer plus my actual stereo will lead to better sound. If not... an expensive experiment.
	🕰 7:53pm Listener Gregory: I'll swear I read that the Amaryllis discs were nominated for Grammys, but they weren't. And as I looked at the list of winners, I became depressed, as I always do. Sigh...
	7:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:48 Wired Ethernet: when you want it to Just Work all the time. The Port feeds the living room stereo, set to "pass through" to use the integrated amp's D/A converter. This makes me feel good about myself, but I wouldn't swear that I can hear the difference.
	7:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:33 DJ Peter, I've met gardening, and like it, but it has mixed feelings about me.
	7:57pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:56 I frequently find Mrs. DJP cursing and muttering, invariably about some parasite that she is doing war with, and I ask her why she gardens and she says "it's relaxing!"
	7:59pm neveract: This ifi device has made my streaming listening from HD or lossless files unbelievably better. I can hear things I could only hear from vinyl through my Cary tube equipment or through a Cary CD player and xrCD's. I never would've thought it would be that good.
	7:59pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:57 Cursing at aphids and fungus may have no effect, but I keep doing it anyway.
	8:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:59 She actually orders warrior mites etc. to attack the other aphids and mites... it's crazy
	🕰 8:01pm Listener Gregory: ↳ neveract @7:59 That's a little DAC, right? And you use WiFI as its input?
	8:04pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 Dang, that is way beyond my spray bottle of Dawn and curses.
	8:05pm neveract: ↳ adamdoesit @7:47 For "casual" listening, I'm still using some AR-4x's on which I did a bit of freshening up via an ancient Soundcraftsmen integrated. The ifi device has given that setup a whole new life.
	8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:04 You know you're in trouble when the instructions are on how to release the mites so they crawl onto the plants and not on to you.
	8:07pm neveract: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:01 yep.. but the signal from my computer or phone is BT only ifi-audio.com...
	🕰 8:08pm Listener Gregory: OK, my sanity is not quite as far gone as I'd thought: The two Amaryllis records won the Downbeat critics' poll this year, as a pair. No Grammy nomination, though, amazingly. Halvorson will have to be satisfied with her MacArthur.
	🕰 8:10pm Listener Gregory: Sadly, my stomach is telling me I have to leave and get dinner. I'll finish the show on the archive. No, really, I will! Thanks a lot, DJ Peter! Enjoy those amazing shows.
	8:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ neveract @8:05 Neat, keeping some classics alive! No argument with audiophilia here, but can't ignore the consistent delight I get from this lossy 128kbps MP3 stream…
	8:11pm DJ Peter: Listen to your stomach: advice from a wise man
	8:13pm doctorjazz: Had to attend to my vegatable soup, now to eat it. Have the music on, though!
	8:13pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:10 Later, LG!
	8:13pm neveract: ↳ adamdoesit @8:11 Since my Soundcraftsmen can't pick up the WFMU broadcast signal here in LA, I haveta stream..lol. And this ifi has made the sound from the website SO much better!
	8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:13 If you have a chance to type between slurps, would love to know the secret to a vegetable soup. Good stock of course. But then how do you get the vegetables themselves tasty but not mushy? Roast first?
	8:14pm neveract: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:10 bon appetit LG!
	8:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @7:46 IFi gear has a great reputation
	8:21pm neveract: ↳ doctorjazz @8:19 Thanks doc! I got it on faith and some googling; Makes me glad to know you respect that company!
	8:23pm spodiodi: greetings, DJ Peter and all
	8:24pm DJ Peter: spodiodi! you got here in time for Charlie Haden's flamenco act
	8:24pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 Cut to a consistent size, saute with a little salt, and keep an eye on the pot after the water/stock goes in? That's my method anyhow.
	8:25pm spodiodi: ↳ DJ Peter @8:24 excellent
	8:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:24 saute to still al dente? or cook through and just warm in the stock?
	8:28pm neveract: Hi spodiodi
	8:29pm coelacanth∅: good evening Peter & laughing clockpeople
	8:30pm DJ Peter: Hi coelacanthø! Any new wheels lately?
	8:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:25 Al dente, imo. I like them to finish cooking in the stock.
	8:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:30 just ol' mr. belvedere here
	8:34pm DJ Peter: Don Grolnick as session pianist coming up
	8:37pm spodiodi: ↳ neveract @8:28 hi neveract
	8:37pm spodiodi: howdy, coelacanthØ
	8:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 I'm a NY Times Cooking cook-use they're recipes often. cooking.nytimes.com... The veggies basically go in at the last 10 minutes, so they don't become mush (being winter, and being lazy, used frozen corn, frozen broccoli, frozen string beans at the end). Times recipes can be a bit bland-I add lots of Italian Seasoning, and a Parmegian Rind, sometimes some wine or mirin. That's it-came out good (could have added even more Italian Seasoning, but no complaints from the fam).
	8:38pm doctorjazz: (I suspect Adamdoesit is a much better cook-I just started when I cut back my work week).
	8:39pm coelacanth∅: olá spodi
	8:39pm neveract: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:29 Hi coelacanth∅ - LOVE your Belvedere! '61?
	8:40pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @8:38 There's only one way to settle this, doc: a cook-off. Hey spodi and cøel!
	8:41pm doctorjazz: I find the wired connection to my CD player/Streamer is better sounding to me. (I'm a geek-thinking of getting audiophile cables to connect the internet box to the streamer. Haven't been able to stream my music on upstairs hard drives on the downstairs stereo, though, even though it's supposed to. I likely need a NAS, Audiophile steamer/server, or a good therapist).
	8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Smile" by "David Sanborn" Sanborn had a great music show in TV years back.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: just storing ideas in my head 'till i have a real kitchen again; but in december i made split pea soup...the base smelled unbelievable and i plan to experiment...but basically, as adam said cut to consistent size; in my case adding them in shifts depending on cooking rate. i sauteed in 1/2 butter 1/2 olive oil.
	8:46pm neveract: ↳ doctorjazz @8:41 I never stream any physical media.. just Apple Music and radio streams. Maybe I should check it out for physical media.
	8:47pm coelacanth∅: greetings neveract! she's a beaut- yes, 61
	8:47pm coelacanth∅: hi adam!
	8:47pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Mimosa (alternate take)" by "Herbie Hancock" It's your show, DJ Peter. No shade here. Maybe a little side-eye tho.
	8:49pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:45 I just put 5 pints of split pea in the fridge for lunches this week! Snuck some ham hock in there, too. If anyone asks, Basie made me do it.
	8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:49 thanks, adam, that's all i ask. i want to feel a little bit judged.
	8:50pm neveract: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:47 Nice!! leaning tower of power.. 318.. 361.. 383?
	8:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ neveract @8:50 ha! i don't really own this car i just culled the picture from the internet! ...and i may have read the specs on it but i don't remember now. - so let's just say 383!
	8:54pm neveract: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:53 woo hoo! Sonoramic Commando!
	8:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @8:46 I have a few TB of music on hard drives, been trying to get them to play on the living room stereo through the Technics CD/DVD/Stremer, but haven't been able to get it to work (It's supposed to, but tell that to the player). I can play them off a Flash Drive, but can only add a limited number of albums to those.
	8:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 As a general rule, if you like it enough to play it, then maybe I should open my ears to it.
	8:57pm doctorjazz: Have that Hancock album, interesting stuff!
	8:57pm DJ Peter: That's a kind general rule and one we should offer to everyone i would think: open ears. at least for the first 3 minutes
	8:58pm neveract: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 I swore off relying on digital media after a few incidents of file corruption.. music and photos :-(
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, DJ Peter, great show! Catch you around the stream Boards! Night all!
	8:59pm neveract: Thank you DJ Peter!
	9:00pm adamdoesit: Wow, that happened fast. Thank you, DJ Peter! Always a treat.
	9:00pm spodiodi: thank you, DJ Peter!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 i just play from an external hard drive, through the laptop, via pine player, out the headphone jack, through the "hi-fi"
	9:01pm DJ Peter: time flies when you don't know what you're doing! Thanks everyone!
	9:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 11:59am Listener Gregory: Writing from the future: I don't think those divr musicians are Finnish, even if the label is. Did you mean to call the group "1divr"?
	6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" For anyone checking this out in the archive: I misspoke when I said the string quartet plus Max Roach was recorded in Italy. Twas New York City!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Went to see Nels abd crew last night. No spoilers, but im sure you'll enjoy the show!

The Laughing Clock with DJ Peter: Playlist from February 4, 2024

View DJ Peter's profile

Obscure musical gems, avant experimentation, and classics worth rehearing. A conurbation of Leslie speakers, timbales, plungers, arch-tops, tablas, and squeaky reeds. Black ties, pork pies, Cuban boots, Nudie suits, bobbysocks, turtlenecks, and high-heeled sneakers. Jazz is the north star but it’s a wide universe, so says The Laughing Clock.

	6:58pm neveract: Hey DJ Peter & Gregory
	🕰 7:00pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @6:54 February is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of whatever dead bulb that is under the clock. You may quote me. Hello, @neveract.
	7:03pm doctorjazz: Hey Peter, Clock Watchers!
	7:04pm neveract: Hey doc!
	7:05pm doctorjazz: Cooking dinner (vegetable soup). Spent time catching up with some of my records today-started with the Paul Motian on Broadway Box (g0t to 2 CD's), then the new vinyl Abdullah Ibrahim record. It's 2 LPs, but they're 45 RPM, so it's really like 1.5 albumss.
	7:05pm neveract: I thought Max Roach's birthday was Jan 10..
	7:06pm neveract: I think today is Don Goldie's birthday.
	7:07pm DJ Peter: neveract, great to see you. doc I just picked up the Motian/Bailey on Bandcamp Friday and looking forward to delving in. Love the "broadway" albums esp. the one with Konitz.
	7:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:05 (The Ibrahim is the by the same band I saw him pley with a few months ago. The vinyl sounds great, but the run-in groove on side 1 has click/pop, which stops the minute the music starts. Aggravating, but not enough for me to return it yet. Still have to play sides 3 and 4. The album is very special to this AI fanboy-not his playing from 20-30 years ago, but hits me hard...)
	7:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:07 It's.a great set-not up to the Konitz yet, 1st 2 I played are Lovano/Frisell/Haden/Motian.
	🕰 7:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" I recently picked up a CD of a classical composition of symphony orchestra and concerto, written for Max Roach. After a while I noticed that it was listed as not for sale, making me wonder whether I have an actual "collectors' item." Oooooh! (Composer's name is Tillis, I think, but I don't have the CD at hand now.)
	🕰 7:11pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:05 What is this Motian box of which you speak??? New recordings, or a re-packaging of the JMT and Winter&Winter records?
	7:11pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:09 If it's Discogs listing "not for sale" it may not be a collector's item but just not meeting their high ethical standards. This is where we are: Discogs is our ethical barometer.
	7:12pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @7:08 This Ibrahim set is not getting much buzz, from where I sit... but as I said I've been traveling so maybe out of the loop
	🕰 7:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 No, it said this on the CD. The record featured the UMass orchestra (where the composer and Roach had appointments), and this seems to be something put out by the Music Department or maybe just the composer himself.
	7:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:11 It's a Winter & Winter 5 CD compilation repackaged, 80s and the last ones around 2000. Great stuff!
	7:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 All available on single CD's, though (at least they were). I have some of the CDs, bought the box (up for a trade on the doubles?)
	7:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" There are Black Saint/Soul Note complete boxes floating around (they're out of print, but can still be found at decent prices). I have a few, but not the Max Roach, hmmm....
	7:17pm DJ Peter: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:14 Oh wow. Is this called "So What" or somesuch?
	🕰 7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:14 I'll have to check it out. I do have a lot of the original CDs, though. The Konitz one doesn't ring a bell. Please don't make me buy the whole box set just for that one!
	7:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:18 I (shuffles his feet embarassadly) bought the set for the 1 or 2 I was missing...
	7:22pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:12 So far, I love the set (he's 87 years old, doesn't play like he used to. But he can still play, the tunes are wonderful, and it's sort of a tag team, him and the bass/cello player and reed player. This was just the way they sounded in November at NJPAC.
	7:23pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:11 Doesn't "Not for Sale" usually mean it's a promo (DJ, Radio or other) copy?
	7:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:07 Got to see the Motian band with Lovano and Frisell a couple of times, great sets!
	🕰 7:24pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:17 No... where IS that damned thing? Well, the composer's name is Frederic Tillis, and the piece was probably Ring Shout Concerto. The CD will pop up some day. It's not filed yet.
	🕰 7:25pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:23 Yes, but this was actually printed on the booklet, so I think it was for the performers or donors or something.
	7:25pm adamdoesit: Good evening, DJ Peter and clockers!
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:24 "Not filed yet" covers a big selection of CD's at Chez DoctorJazz (finally got the LPs organized, though. New Racks, alphabetical. CD's, one of these days...)
	🕰 7:26pm Listener Gregory: OK, here it is. Going for $9.95. I'm rich! www.discogs.com...
	7:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @7:25 Hey Adamdoesit, had a nice bike ride?
	7:27pm neveract: Hi adamdoesit
	7:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @7:27 Hi neveract!
	🕰 7:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" I thought this was more impressive than his other string quartet albums.
	🕰 7:29pm Listener Gregory: OMG, those are two great shows, Peter. Rainey is my favorite drummer.
	7:30pm neveract: What devices, if any, do any of you use to stream music from your computers/phones to your hi-fi?
	7:32pm doctorjazz: I'm going to see Nels Cline on Friday night (as you know). I've seen Cline with Lightcap and with Rainey, neither of which were "out" shows, pretty straight ahead, actually. Which doesn't guarantee anything for the weekend shows, of course, Nels can play like Jim Hall, or he can be out there like nobody's business. As the investor ads like to say, "Attending involves some risk..." Either way should be fun!
	7:33pm doctorjazz: www.discogs.com... www.discogs.com... The Max Roach Black Saint/Soul Note boxes...
	7:33pm DJ Peter: adamdoesit: now here's a man who knows gardening (I'm completely guessing). LG: I've seen Rainey's trio w/ Laubrock and Halvorson. I remember he began one tune by crinkling and shaking a half-filled water bottle. Han Bennink has nothing on Tom Rainey. Doc I can't decide if I want you to "spoil" me before Saturday's Nels Cline show or not... assume not unless you hear different later...
	7:34pm DJ Peter: ↳ neveract @7:30 I am interested too and will eavesdrop on your answers
	🕰 7:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ neveract @7:30 I am considering buying a Cambridge CXN100 or something else from them, but I have to fix some internet connectivity issues first.
	7:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @7:33 I won't spoil the Saturday Matinee show for you, promise! (don't know what they'll do-I have a recording of a house concert of Cline/Lightcap that's very cool, very straight ahead. I went to see Sex Mob with Cline guesting, they skronked and squeeled non-stop, to the dismay of my daughter, who was expecting a fun Sex Mob set) . Who knows what's coming?)
	7:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @7:30 I stream through a Technics SL-G700 CD/SACD Playewr into my stereo (used to use a Slingbox Touch, which I stil have plugged in, but hasn't seen use in a while). Was considering the same Cambridge LG mentioned as well.
	7:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Swing Ghost '59" by "The Nels Cline 4" Seen this group too (Cline is a buddy of a friend, very sweet guy). .
	7:41pm doctorjazz: Actually have a good number of Nels Cline live sets on my hard drive.
	🕰 7:41pm Listener Gregory: Halvorson has a good chance at getting a Grammy tonight, for the first two Amaryllis discs (which somehow were treated as a pair, even though released separately).
	7:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @7:26 Hey doc, I did! I headed under the Verrazano, and felt pretty good, so kept going to Jacob Riis. When I turned around, I understood why I'd felt so good: I'd had a tailwind that became a headwind going home.
	7:45pm DJ Peter: Did the Grammies already get awarded this afternoon? before the telecast?
	🕰 7:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳ DJ Peter @7:45 Some did. But as I check out my previous post, it seems it may be all lies. Sorry!
	7:46pm neveract: I'm trying out an ifi Zen Blue v2.. Thanks for the inputs!
	7:47pm adamdoesit: ↳ neveract @7:27 Hey neveract! Sonos here. Their stuff has held up well for me: all of my original speakers from 2012 are still in use. My Connect bit the dust about a year ago, replaced it with a Port. Couple Raspberry Pis in the mix, too.
	🕰 7:48pm Listener Gregory: ↳ adamdoesit @7:47 I use Sonos now, and they are pretty good. My assumption is that a hard-wired connection to a streamer plus my actual stereo will lead to better sound. If not... an expensive experiment.
	🕰 7:53pm Listener Gregory: I'll swear I read that the Amaryllis discs were nominated for Grammys, but they weren't. And as I looked at the list of winners, I became depressed, as I always do. Sigh...
	7:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:48 Wired Ethernet: when you want it to Just Work all the time. The Port feeds the living room stereo, set to "pass through" to use the integrated amp's D/A converter. This makes me feel good about myself, but I wouldn't swear that I can hear the difference.
	7:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:33 DJ Peter, I've met gardening, and like it, but it has mixed feelings about me.
	7:57pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:56 I frequently find Mrs. DJP cursing and muttering, invariably about some parasite that she is doing war with, and I ask her why she gardens and she says "it's relaxing!"
	7:59pm neveract: This ifi device has made my streaming listening from HD or lossless files unbelievably better. I can hear things I could only hear from vinyl through my Cary tube equipment or through a Cary CD player and xrCD's. I never would've thought it would be that good.
	7:59pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @7:57 Cursing at aphids and fungus may have no effect, but I keep doing it anyway.
	8:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @7:59 She actually orders warrior mites etc. to attack the other aphids and mites... it's crazy
	🕰 8:01pm Listener Gregory: ↳ neveract @7:59 That's a little DAC, right? And you use WiFI as its input?
	8:04pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:01 Dang, that is way beyond my spray bottle of Dawn and curses.
	8:05pm neveract: ↳ adamdoesit @7:47 For "casual" listening, I'm still using some AR-4x's on which I did a bit of freshening up via an ancient Soundcraftsmen integrated. The ifi device has given that setup a whole new life.
	8:07pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:04 You know you're in trouble when the instructions are on how to release the mites so they crawl onto the plants and not on to you.
	8:07pm neveract: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:01 yep.. but the signal from my computer or phone is BT only ifi-audio.com...
	🕰 8:08pm Listener Gregory: OK, my sanity is not quite as far gone as I'd thought: The two Amaryllis records won the Downbeat critics' poll this year, as a pair. No Grammy nomination, though, amazingly. Halvorson will have to be satisfied with her MacArthur.
	🕰 8:10pm Listener Gregory: Sadly, my stomach is telling me I have to leave and get dinner. I'll finish the show on the archive. No, really, I will! Thanks a lot, DJ Peter! Enjoy those amazing shows.
	8:11pm adamdoesit: ↳ neveract @8:05 Neat, keeping some classics alive! No argument with audiophilia here, but can't ignore the consistent delight I get from this lossy 128kbps MP3 stream…
	8:11pm DJ Peter: Listen to your stomach: advice from a wise man
	8:13pm doctorjazz: Had to attend to my vegatable soup, now to eat it. Have the music on, though!
	8:13pm adamdoesit: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:10 Later, LG!
	8:13pm neveract: ↳ adamdoesit @8:11 Since my Soundcraftsmen can't pick up the WFMU broadcast signal here in LA, I haveta stream..lol. And this ifi has made the sound from the website SO much better!
	8:14pm DJ Peter: ↳ doctorjazz @8:13 If you have a chance to type between slurps, would love to know the secret to a vegetable soup. Good stock of course. But then how do you get the vegetables themselves tasty but not mushy? Roast first?
	8:14pm neveract: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:10 bon appetit LG!
	8:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @7:46 IFi gear has a great reputation
	8:21pm neveract: ↳ doctorjazz @8:19 Thanks doc! I got it on faith and some googling; Makes me glad to know you respect that company!
	8:23pm spodiodi: greetings, DJ Peter and all
	8:24pm DJ Peter: spodiodi! you got here in time for Charlie Haden's flamenco act
	8:24pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 Cut to a consistent size, saute with a little salt, and keep an eye on the pot after the water/stock goes in? That's my method anyhow.
	8:25pm spodiodi: ↳ DJ Peter @8:24 excellent
	8:25pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:24 saute to still al dente? or cook through and just warm in the stock?
	8:28pm neveract: Hi spodiodi
	8:29pm coelacanth∅: good evening Peter & laughing clockpeople
	8:30pm DJ Peter: Hi coelacanthø! Any new wheels lately?
	8:30pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:25 Al dente, imo. I like them to finish cooking in the stock.
	8:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DJ Peter @8:30 just ol' mr. belvedere here
	8:34pm DJ Peter: Don Grolnick as session pianist coming up
	8:37pm spodiodi: ↳ neveract @8:28 hi neveract
	8:37pm spodiodi: howdy, coelacanthØ
	8:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ DJ Peter @8:14 I'm a NY Times Cooking cook-use they're recipes often. cooking.nytimes.com... The veggies basically go in at the last 10 minutes, so they don't become mush (being winter, and being lazy, used frozen corn, frozen broccoli, frozen string beans at the end). Times recipes can be a bit bland-I add lots of Italian Seasoning, and a Parmegian Rind, sometimes some wine or mirin. That's it-came out good (could have added even more Italian Seasoning, but no complaints from the fam).
	8:38pm doctorjazz: (I suspect Adamdoesit is a much better cook-I just started when I cut back my work week).
	8:39pm coelacanth∅: olá spodi
	8:39pm neveract: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:29 Hi coelacanth∅ - LOVE your Belvedere! '61?
	8:40pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @8:38 There's only one way to settle this, doc: a cook-off. Hey spodi and cøel!
	8:41pm doctorjazz: I find the wired connection to my CD player/Streamer is better sounding to me. (I'm a geek-thinking of getting audiophile cables to connect the internet box to the streamer. Haven't been able to stream my music on upstairs hard drives on the downstairs stereo, though, even though it's supposed to. I likely need a NAS, Audiophile steamer/server, or a good therapist).
	8:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Smile" by "David Sanborn" Sanborn had a great music show in TV years back.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: just storing ideas in my head 'till i have a real kitchen again; but in december i made split pea soup...the base smelled unbelievable and i plan to experiment...but basically, as adam said cut to consistent size; in my case adding them in shifts depending on cooking rate. i sauteed in 1/2 butter 1/2 olive oil.
	8:46pm neveract: ↳ doctorjazz @8:41 I never stream any physical media.. just Apple Music and radio streams. Maybe I should check it out for physical media.
	8:47pm coelacanth∅: greetings neveract! she's a beaut- yes, 61
	8:47pm coelacanth∅: hi adam!
	8:47pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Mimosa (alternate take)" by "Herbie Hancock" It's your show, DJ Peter. No shade here. Maybe a little side-eye tho.
	8:49pm adamdoesit: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:45 I just put 5 pints of split pea in the fridge for lunches this week! Snuck some ham hock in there, too. If anyone asks, Basie made me do it.
	8:49pm DJ Peter: ↳ adamdoesit @8:49 thanks, adam, that's all i ask. i want to feel a little bit judged.
	8:50pm neveract: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:47 Nice!! leaning tower of power.. 318.. 361.. 383?
	8:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ neveract @8:50 ha! i don't really own this car i just culled the picture from the internet! ...and i may have read the specs on it but i don't remember now. - so let's just say 383!
	8:54pm neveract: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:53 woo hoo! Sonoramic Commando!
	8:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ neveract @8:46 I have a few TB of music on hard drives, been trying to get them to play on the living room stereo through the Technics CD/DVD/Stremer, but haven't been able to get it to work (It's supposed to, but tell that to the player). I can play them off a Flash Drive, but can only add a limited number of albums to those.
	8:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ DJ Peter @8:49 As a general rule, if you like it enough to play it, then maybe I should open my ears to it.
	8:57pm doctorjazz: Have that Hancock album, interesting stuff!
	8:57pm DJ Peter: That's a kind general rule and one we should offer to everyone i would think: open ears. at least for the first 3 minutes
	8:58pm neveract: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 I swore off relying on digital media after a few incidents of file corruption.. music and photos :-(
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Thanks, DJ Peter, great show! Catch you around the stream Boards! Night all!
	8:59pm neveract: Thank you DJ Peter!
	9:00pm adamdoesit: Wow, that happened fast. Thank you, DJ Peter! Always a treat.
	9:00pm spodiodi: thank you, DJ Peter!
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @8:55 i just play from an external hard drive, through the laptop, via pine player, out the headphone jack, through the "hi-fi"
	9:01pm DJ Peter: time flies when you don't know what you're doing! Thanks everyone!
	9:01pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Peter!
	🕰 11:59am Listener Gregory: Writing from the future: I don't think those divr musicians are Finnish, even if the label is. Did you mean to call the group "1divr"?
	6:40pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Survivors" by "Max Roach" For anyone checking this out in the archive: I misspoke when I said the string quartet plus Max Roach was recorded in Italy. Twas New York City!
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Went to see Nels abd crew last night. No spoilers, but im sure you'll enjoy the show!
