	9:09am vanessa: I love Wake Traffic!
	9:09am pp: instead of a vomit emoji it's 🥮🥞🍰
	👻 9:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ psy-Ns @9:08 Wow, snackandbakery.com has a paywall. What a world!
	9:10am Toothgrinder Tom: @Handy 9:06 that sounds like fun (not being ironic).

	9:11am Asheville Jon: ah, the good old days of going to south street
	9:11am ∫ydniuß: Zipperhead RIP 🪦
	9:11am luka: i saw the Milkmen a decade or so ago, thought they were gonna phone it in but they absolutely slammed

	👻 9:12am peter_h_christ: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:11 Knicks are taking it in six.
	9:13am jasonspaceman: Possum Dixon opened for the Milkmen in Buffalo back in the day. 1993 I think. Got in with a fake ID, I was 17. Some guy dressed as a cowboy, who was also blind, kept yelling "PLAY SOME SKYNARD!"
	9:13am Hi from Holland: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:09 Just feed the url to Google Cache and you can read it...
	9:13am Tom from Stirling: Here's your hat. There's the door. What's your hurry?
	9:14am Edgar from Maine: Saccharine Trust! Feel the writhe!
	9:14am Toothgrinder Tom: @peter I wouldn’t be at all surprised!
	9:14am The Oscar: I stayed in Philly about a decade ago and had a great time (though I hear the Mutter Museum is under some pretty dire new management). I went to the punk shop formerly known as Zipperhead and bought a Dead Milkmen tee.
	9:14am Dave R: my head holds thoughts.
	9:15am Triple G: Wife and I have spent a few days in Philly a couple different times the past 8 or so months -- great food and fun stuff to do
	9:15am Hi from Holland: ↳ Dave R @9:14 We don't want to hear about pink elephants today...
	👻 9:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:10 Last time we did it, we caught a super-express NJT train. Barely had time to drink a beer before we were suddenly in Trenton! It's a pretty easy trip that way.
	9:16am TerrDE: I'm 2-3 hours from any concert venue. Given the chance I always choose Philadelphia over DC. Audiences are so much more into it
	👻 9:17am Mike H: I had a feeling Saccharine Trust would kick things off. SST’s greatest jazz group
	👻 9:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:15 We caught some music, found a good band, Grocer, who just put out a new album: itsgrocer.bandcamp.com...
	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ♀︎Friday FMUvianz ~
	9:21am dork with a fork: ywch on acid by saccharine trust = this is fantastic ! white light white heat era velvets motifs. Never knew the trust ever sounded like this … what vintage & where does it derive ?
	👻 9:21am Mike H: People think SST stands for Solid State Tuners. The reality is it’s Simply Saccharine Trust
	9:23am Edgar from Maine: I saw ST in Austin 1985 at Liberty Lunch. Of all the forgettable shows I saw that year I definitely remember em. Maybe from Bay Area?
	9:26am Triple G: ↳ Song: "a song of friendship" by "andy mackay" JA dedicates this to Pidge, whether he'd ever admit it or not 🥹
	9:27am Toothgrinder Tom: @Handy 9:15 trains are great: no traffic lights (or very few).
	👻 9:33am Bobby: Morning JA and all!
	9:35am ?: Nice! Don Cherry. A palate cleanser after that old codger
	👻 9:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Bobby @9:33 Bobby, we saved some of the notes for you.
	9:38am TerrDE: This is great ! , has me table drumming
	👻 9:39am Bobby: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:35 Thank you, Handy! I have a good excuse. I was staring at the ceiling and then shuffling around making coffee
	👻 9:40am Karl: ↳ Bobby @9:39 Well, that ceiling isn't going to stare at itself. You were doing God's Work.
	9:40am Fork Dork: ↳ Song: "a song of friendship" by "andy mackay" I Am Smitten by this piece (of glorious pretension) is it the guy from Roxy? (never bumped into any of his solo works - import only?). I gots to dive deeper into all this…. I know I’m a nobody (& will forever ♾️ & always be) but for all our benefit, would be so exciting to augment yer playlists with album derivation info. Especially being aware of your vast knowledge & detail oriented skills ,,, blah yadda blah. Love y’all 🥰🙃
	👻 9:41am Bobby: ↳ Karl @9:40 I appreciate the support, colleague
	👻 9:42am Karl: ↳ Bobby @9:41 Also, on that note, God really isn't pulling His weight lately.
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @9:40 And you should see this guy shuffle around. Sublime.
	9:42am TerrDE: Nice to hear something really happening from this era that isn't 2nd rate Mahavishnu copy
	9:47am TerrDE: ooops I thought this was off the 72 Life Force. Still crappy fusion in 80 , but the times had moved on
	9:48am PaulRobeson1924: Trust in the ultimate
	👻 9:48am Handy Haversack: JA, I, too, have a puppy on me right now. He's deep-sleeping. Gonna roust him out in a few minutes here. Radio: www.wfmu.org... 14 weeks old.
	9:49am PaulRobeson1924: Since life may summon us at every age Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor, Be ready bravely and without remorse To find new light that old ties cannot give. In all beginnings dwells a magic force For guarding us and helping us to live.
	👻 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:48 Do you have to bring him to the vet for his periodic EAS test or you have a kit?
	9:51am Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:48 That is a cutie-pie puppy!!!
	9:51am HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:48 the cutest poop machine!
	👻 9:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:50 The real tricky part is getting the broadcast license squared away!
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "electric ephemron" by "kochi" ...some Electric Miles type goodness now - for lack of better informed comparison ...Comparison being the Enemy of Joy... Good Morning.
	👻 9:53am Mike H: ↳ Song: "electric ephemron" by "kochi" Really dig this
	👻 9:53am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:51 Conversely, his ability to bark at Terminators is your Emergency Alert System.
	9:54am Toothgrinder Tom: @Handy I’ll be going to Japan this summer so = train nirvana.
	9:54am Triple G: ↳ Song: "electric ephemron" by "kochi" This is the stuff
	9:55am Triple G: ↳ Krys O. @9:51 Seconding Krys's sentiment, Handy!
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Hullo Cleveland ! We are - Barking @ Terminators ! ...dawgtreats & handywipes under yer seat...
	👻 9:58am Bobby: Work call, back soon
	9:58am ?: That Koshi track reminded me of Tribute to Jack Johnson!
	👻 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:54 Oooo, nice!
	10:00am Toothgrinder Tom: Hate it when Terminators show up all unexpected-like.
	10:01am Andres: Jan Hammer always surprises with diverse sounds.
	10:02am ?: Hate to correct JA but that bans was called “Kochi”
	10:03am ?: Guess I can’t type either
	10:03am Sarf: lovely stuff
	10:04am John Allen: ↳ ? @10:02 good morning everybody. thanks yeah busy dog-sitting
	10:07am Triple G: ↳ John Allen @10:04 Well then it's been some quality multitasking because this set is great
	10:13am Triple G: WFMU Fridays 9am-12pm Eastern: a safe space for dog-sitters and jazz cats alike
	👻 10:13am Karl: ↳ Song: "led by the bit" by "animal, surrender" Peter Kerlin in the house!
	10:14am love2laf: ↳ Triple G @10:13 Exactly, our jazz cat is absolutely loving this today.
	👻 10:14am Karl: ↳ Song: "led by the bit" by "animal, surrender" animalsurrender.bandcamp.com...
	10:16am PNX: Is it still dog-sitting if it's your dog?
	👻 10:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ PNX @10:16 It's Saturday if you're a dog. We know that much.
	10:17am vixo: Animal, Surrender track was great!!!!
	👻 10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:17 The best of all possible worlds.
	👻 10:24am Bobby: This plays in the background of all my best thinking
	10:24am Joe Mulligan 🦀: I’ve been wracking my brain trying to find an old psych song with the refrain “I found you”. Some band kind of like pearls before swine? Not jazz adjacent but I’d appreciate any help
	👻 10:25am Karl: Reloading the firmware on the Bob James Machine is a nightmare, but that's probably the answer
	10:25am Triple G: ↳ Bobby @10:24 Wow ... love that
	10:25am Toothgrinder Tom: I’ve often thought that about country music too (that your age as a musician is irrelevant).
	10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have had convos recent weeks in Jonathan Herweg's comments about everybody sounding like Coltrane & such things... I ponder that whereas Artists sounding too much like TheBeatles or Hendrix has got people flack - all the Trane emulators generally delight me...
	👻 10:26am Gregosaurus: No Bob James??...this is an outrage!!
	👻 10:26am Handy Haversack: It's platform capture. As soon as anything succeeds on the internet, surveillance capitalism has to come in and break it in order to build another pleasure dome out of the wreckage of neighborhoods. The Bob James machine has been co-opted.
	10:26am Holland Oatzier Holland: When’s WFMU getting a dedicated jazz stream?
	10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:24 Not the Gene Clark song ? (More the FolkRawks...)
	10:27am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:26 "enshittification"
	👻 10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Pig Talk at 11:30? Cool!
	10:30am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:26 Red Lobster used to be good. Toys ’R Us was a casualty of greed. Sears. It goes on.
	👻 10:30am joe mulligan: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:26 Same era but very mellower, like folk psych
	10:31am Edgar from Maine: ↳ ∫ydniuß @10:30 Boeing for god's sake.
	10:32am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:31 That’s the dog catching the car. A constant theme.
	👻 10:33am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyy there.
	10:34am dork with a fork: 🎷Saxy Mackay related; guitarist Raymond Russell: co-created that 2nd 1978 concept album: does this register: “Raymond Russell is an English session musician and experimental jazz rock guitarist. He is also a record producer and composer. Russell made his professional debut as Vic Flick's replacement as lead guitarist in the John Barry Seven”. - curios to hear career (might be terrible, perhaps in a good way).
	👻 10:35am Noir Lover: ↳ Song: "untitled" by "basic (chris forsyth/ nick millevoi)" I saw stage shots of Basic where they were sitting down. But this is not sit down music.
	10:36am Edgar from Maine: ↳ ∫ydniuß @10:32 I hope "shareholder value" dies with "trickle down" while I'm still breathing.
	10:37am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:36 I hope the Boeing exec who ordered murder faces justice. Ha!
	👻 10:41am Ken From Hyde Park: I've got a joke about trickle down economics, but only 1% of you would get it.
	👻 10:41am Karl: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" It's like both JA worlds colliding, hardcore + jazz
	10:41am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" Seeing them next month in Belgium. Can't wait.
	10:41am love2laf: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:41 HA!
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. Central fact of our time ?
	10:41am TerrDE: Google just gives Bob James the artist. What is the "Bob James Machine"
	10:42am milknpie: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" this is fantastic.
	10:42am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Octogenarian week for me. Saw Buddy Guy on Sunday, and Michael Hurley on Tuesday. Both excellent.
	10:42am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:41 That deserves a hearty rimshot.
	10:42am northguineahills: woke up w/ a belle epoque/weezer mashup in me noggin... (i stopped asking my brain questions long ago)
	👻 10:42am Mike H: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" Hadn't liked the Messthetics I'd heard before but I like this track. A good saxophone player makes a big difference!
	10:43am ∫ydniuß: ↳ love2laf @10:41 laughin or cryin, imma choose laughin
	10:43am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" This riff is almost identical to Thin Lizzy’s “Black Boys On The Corner.” Check it out.
	10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:41 Oh ...stealin' that awlright...
	10:47am Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "lost days" by "jerry david decicca feat. james br... Getting Ween vibes from this.
	10:47am TerrDE: Every time I've heard Buddy live, it was too much talkin and not enough playin
	10:48am egould: ↳ Song: "lost days" by "jerry david decicca feat. james br... Is this a duet? Or was the vocal processed?
	10:48am love2laf: ↳ ∫ydniuß @10:43 We have a plan, we're laughing and Ken from Hyde Park keeps us laughing!
	10:49am ∫ydniuß: ↳ love2laf @10:48 i aint afraid a bombin imma keep tryin
	👻 11:13am Mike H: Loved that Christer Bothen and whatever it is that we're hearing now!
	👻 11:16am Mike H: What I should have said was that I loved the Room 31 track as well as the Christer Bothen we're hearing now :-)
	11:18am John Allen: ↳ Mike H @11:16 still multitasking over here
	11:18am PaulRobeson1924: Has Mr.Clay gone?
	11:19am John Allen: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @11:18 mr. clay departed two hours ago :(
	11:19am dork with a fork: Hi Mike H & DJ: please inform what we heard prior to Christer Bothan & Bolon Bata “TranceDance” concept jazz epic (circa late 80s?) formerly of the incredibly worthy group Archimedes Badkar (sp?). Usta be impossible to find any of their records. I have this trancedance on vinyl - would love a CD copy. - sigh …the good ole daze.
	11:20am Spikey BXL: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:43 You do have a point
	👻 11:20am Mike H: ↳ John Allen @11:18 Totally know how it goes with a puppy! You're doin a great job I simply got mixed up
	👻 11:22am Mike H: ↳ dork with a fork @11:19 I don't know anything other than what's on the playlist...
	11:23am dork with a fork: Oops 🙊- I see the tack listings now (don’t forget, ima dork!, after all).
	11:24am terminalhipness: ↳ Song: "sundiata" by "tony vacca & tim moran with don che... Digging this set the most! Nice flow. Go Johnny go!!
	👻 11:25am Handy Haversack: Gotta go guard the car. Bringing the puppy for muscle. Thanks, JA! Good stuff!
	11:25am terminalhipness: (Meant the current set, but fumbled some how)
	11:29am PaulRobeson1924: ↳ John Allen @11:19 I hope he went before he departed

	11:35am common: loved gig talk miss you and kevin on the radio, dadio
	11:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I like the Jazzes.

	👻 11:36am Barney Grubbs: there's a nice recent interview with Matt on Creamo Coyl's substack thing (I was totally oblivious that he was one of the gig talk folks--that was a fun show) erickbradshaw.substack.com...
	11:37am dork with a fork: If you like C Bothen etc : try Bengt Berger & his bitter beer band (bitter funeral beer band ?). I am forever searching for the likes. I also love a guy that I rarely hear via WFMU (very surprisingly!) -Nik Bärtsch, you might also like: Nik Bärtsch's Ronin & Mobile outfits. Hard to categorize jazz related avant piano & rhythm based - perhaps neo jazz-prog adjacent.
	11:40am Krys O.: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:36 Oooh, I liked Gig Talk. That was a fun show.
	11:43am Krys O.: I think I called in a couple of times too.

	11:54am Krys O.: I don't have the volume up because I'm at work. Will have to check out the archive later. Not sure if he mentioned it, but I recall the guys talking about Cecil Taylor on an episode of Gig Talk. Fascinating stuff.

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from April 19, 2024

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:14am Toothgrinder Tom: @peter I wouldn’t be at all surprised!

	👻 9:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:10 Last time we did it, we caught a super-express NJT train. Barely had time to drink a beer before we were suddenly in Trenton! It's a pretty easy trip that way.
	9:16am TerrDE: I'm 2-3 hours from any concert venue. Given the chance I always choose Philadelphia over DC. Audiences are so much more into it

	👻 9:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:15 We caught some music, found a good band, Grocer, who just put out a new album: itsgrocer.bandcamp.com...
	9:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Good ♀︎Friday FMUvianz ~
	9:21am dork with a fork: ywch on acid by saccharine trust = this is fantastic ! white light white heat era velvets motifs. Never knew the trust ever sounded like this … what vintage & where does it derive ?
	👻 9:21am Mike H: People think SST stands for Solid State Tuners. The reality is it’s Simply Saccharine Trust
	9:23am Edgar from Maine: I saw ST in Austin 1985 at Liberty Lunch. Of all the forgettable shows I saw that year I definitely remember em. Maybe from Bay Area?
	9:26am Triple G: ↳ Song: "a song of friendship" by "andy mackay" JA dedicates this to Pidge, whether he'd ever admit it or not 🥹

	👻 9:40am Karl: ↳ Bobby @9:39 Well, that ceiling isn't going to stare at itself. You were doing God's Work.
	9:40am Fork Dork: ↳ Song: "a song of friendship" by "andy mackay" I Am Smitten by this piece (of glorious pretension) is it the guy from Roxy? (never bumped into any of his solo works - import only?). I gots to dive deeper into all this…. I know I’m a nobody (& will forever ♾️ & always be) but for all our benefit, would be so exciting to augment yer playlists with album derivation info. Especially being aware of your vast knowledge & detail oriented skills ,,, blah yadda blah. Love y’all 🥰🙃
	👻 9:41am Bobby: ↳ Karl @9:40 I appreciate the support, colleague
	👻 9:42am Karl: ↳ Bobby @9:41 Also, on that note, God really isn't pulling His weight lately.
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: ↳ Karl @9:40 And you should see this guy shuffle around. Sublime.
	9:42am TerrDE: Nice to hear something really happening from this era that isn't 2nd rate Mahavishnu copy

	👻 9:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:50 The real tricky part is getting the broadcast license squared away!
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "electric ephemron" by "kochi" ...some Electric Miles type goodness now - for lack of better informed comparison ...Comparison being the Enemy of Joy... Good Morning.
	👻 9:53am Mike H: ↳ Song: "electric ephemron" by "kochi" Really dig this
	👻 9:53am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:51 Conversely, his ability to bark at Terminators is your Emergency Alert System.
	9:54am Toothgrinder Tom: @Handy I’ll be going to Japan this summer so = train nirvana.
	9:54am Triple G: ↳ Song: "electric ephemron" by "kochi" This is the stuff
	9:55am Triple G: ↳ Krys O. @9:51 Seconding Krys's sentiment, Handy!
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Hullo Cleveland ! We are - Barking @ Terminators ! ...dawgtreats & handywipes under yer seat...
	👻 9:58am Bobby: Work call, back soon
	9:58am ?: That Koshi track reminded me of Tribute to Jack Johnson!
	👻 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:54 Oooo, nice!
	10:00am Toothgrinder Tom: Hate it when Terminators show up all unexpected-like.
	10:01am Andres: Jan Hammer always surprises with diverse sounds.
	10:02am ?: Hate to correct JA but that bans was called “Kochi”
	10:03am ?: Guess I can’t type either
	10:03am Sarf: lovely stuff
	10:04am John Allen: ↳ ? @10:02 good morning everybody. thanks yeah busy dog-sitting
	10:07am Triple G: ↳ John Allen @10:04 Well then it's been some quality multitasking because this set is great
	10:13am Triple G: WFMU Fridays 9am-12pm Eastern: a safe space for dog-sitters and jazz cats alike
	👻 10:13am Karl: ↳ Song: "led by the bit" by "animal, surrender" Peter Kerlin in the house!
	10:14am love2laf: ↳ Triple G @10:13 Exactly, our jazz cat is absolutely loving this today.
	👻 10:14am Karl: ↳ Song: "led by the bit" by "animal, surrender" animalsurrender.bandcamp.com...
	10:16am PNX: Is it still dog-sitting if it's your dog?
	👻 10:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ PNX @10:16 It's Saturday if you're a dog. We know that much.
	10:17am vixo: Animal, Surrender track was great!!!!
	👻 10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:17 The best of all possible worlds.
	👻 10:24am Bobby: This plays in the background of all my best thinking
	10:24am Joe Mulligan 🦀: I’ve been wracking my brain trying to find an old psych song with the refrain “I found you”. Some band kind of like pearls before swine? Not jazz adjacent but I’d appreciate any help
	👻 10:25am Karl: Reloading the firmware on the Bob James Machine is a nightmare, but that's probably the answer
	10:25am Triple G: ↳ Bobby @10:24 Wow ... love that
	10:25am Toothgrinder Tom: I’ve often thought that about country music too (that your age as a musician is irrelevant).
	10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have had convos recent weeks in Jonathan Herweg's comments about everybody sounding like Coltrane & such things... I ponder that whereas Artists sounding too much like TheBeatles or Hendrix has got people flack - all the Trane emulators generally delight me...
	👻 10:26am Gregosaurus: No Bob James??...this is an outrage!!
	👻 10:26am Handy Haversack: It's platform capture. As soon as anything succeeds on the internet, surveillance capitalism has to come in and break it in order to build another pleasure dome out of the wreckage of neighborhoods. The Bob James machine has been co-opted.
	10:26am Holland Oatzier Holland: When’s WFMU getting a dedicated jazz stream?
	10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @10:24 Not the Gene Clark song ? (More the FolkRawks...)
	10:27am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:26 "enshittification"
	👻 10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Pig Talk at 11:30? Cool!
	10:30am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:26 Red Lobster used to be good. Toys ’R Us was a casualty of greed. Sears. It goes on.
	👻 10:30am joe mulligan: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:26 Same era but very mellower, like folk psych
	10:31am Edgar from Maine: ↳ ∫ydniuß @10:30 Boeing for god's sake.
	10:32am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:31 That’s the dog catching the car. A constant theme.
	👻 10:33am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyy there.
	10:34am dork with a fork: 🎷Saxy Mackay related; guitarist Raymond Russell: co-created that 2nd 1978 concept album: does this register: “Raymond Russell is an English session musician and experimental jazz rock guitarist. He is also a record producer and composer. Russell made his professional debut as Vic Flick's replacement as lead guitarist in the John Barry Seven”. - curios to hear career (might be terrible, perhaps in a good way).
	👻 10:35am Noir Lover: ↳ Song: "untitled" by "basic (chris forsyth/ nick millevoi)" I saw stage shots of Basic where they were sitting down. But this is not sit down music.
	10:36am Edgar from Maine: ↳ ∫ydniuß @10:32 I hope "shareholder value" dies with "trickle down" while I'm still breathing.
	10:37am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:36 I hope the Boeing exec who ordered murder faces justice. Ha!
	👻 10:41am Ken From Hyde Park: I've got a joke about trickle down economics, but only 1% of you would get it.
	👻 10:41am Karl: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" It's like both JA worlds colliding, hardcore + jazz
	10:41am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" Seeing them next month in Belgium. Can't wait.
	10:41am love2laf: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:41 HA!
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: More & More is owned by Fewer & Fewer. Central fact of our time ?
	10:41am TerrDE: Google just gives Bob James the artist. What is the "Bob James Machine"
	10:42am milknpie: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" this is fantastic.
	10:42am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Octogenarian week for me. Saw Buddy Guy on Sunday, and Michael Hurley on Tuesday. Both excellent.
	10:42am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:41 That deserves a hearty rimshot.
	10:42am northguineahills: woke up w/ a belle epoque/weezer mashup in me noggin... (i stopped asking my brain questions long ago)
	👻 10:42am Mike H: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" Hadn't liked the Messthetics I'd heard before but I like this track. A good saxophone player makes a big difference!
	10:43am ∫ydniuß: ↳ love2laf @10:41 laughin or cryin, imma choose laughin
	10:43am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "emergence" by "messthetics and james brandon lewis" This riff is almost identical to Thin Lizzy’s “Black Boys On The Corner.” Check it out.
	10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:41 Oh ...stealin' that awlright...
	10:47am Picante Mint: ↳ Song: "lost days" by "jerry david decicca feat. james br... Getting Ween vibes from this.
	10:47am TerrDE: Every time I've heard Buddy live, it was too much talkin and not enough playin
	10:48am egould: ↳ Song: "lost days" by "jerry david decicca feat. james br... Is this a duet? Or was the vocal processed?
	10:48am love2laf: ↳ ∫ydniuß @10:43 We have a plan, we're laughing and Ken from Hyde Park keeps us laughing!
	10:49am ∫ydniuß: ↳ love2laf @10:48 i aint afraid a bombin imma keep tryin
	👻 11:13am Mike H: Loved that Christer Bothen and whatever it is that we're hearing now!
	👻 11:16am Mike H: What I should have said was that I loved the Room 31 track as well as the Christer Bothen we're hearing now :-)
	11:18am John Allen: ↳ Mike H @11:16 still multitasking over here
	11:18am PaulRobeson1924: Has Mr.Clay gone?
	11:19am John Allen: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @11:18 mr. clay departed two hours ago :(
	11:19am dork with a fork: Hi Mike H & DJ: please inform what we heard prior to Christer Bothan & Bolon Bata “TranceDance” concept jazz epic (circa late 80s?) formerly of the incredibly worthy group Archimedes Badkar (sp?). Usta be impossible to find any of their records. I have this trancedance on vinyl - would love a CD copy. - sigh …the good ole daze.
	11:20am Spikey BXL: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:43 You do have a point

	11:25am terminalhipness: (Meant the current set, but fumbled some how)
	11:29am PaulRobeson1924: ↳ John Allen @11:19 I hope he went before he departed

	11:37am dork with a fork: If you like C Bothen etc : try Bengt Berger & his bitter beer band (bitter funeral beer band ?). I am forever searching for the likes. I also love a guy that I rarely hear via WFMU (very surprisingly!) -Nik Bärtsch, you might also like: Nik Bärtsch's Ronin & Mobile outfits. Hard to categorize jazz related avant piano & rhythm based - perhaps neo jazz-prog adjacent.
