	♥ 12:54pm Krys O.: Hello! Waving to all from a giant shopping card!
	♥ 12:54pm fred: Good afternoon Krys and all
	♥ 12:55pm Krys O.: Hi, fred!
	♥ 12:57pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @12:54 This pic looks like it could fit in a Vicki video (I got her new record this week, kinda obsessed with it)
	♥ 12:59pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @12:57 I got two copies. I forgot I contributed to the Indigogo and I bought an extra copy. I'm happy to give what I can to PLU.
	♥ 1:01pm Handy Haversack: Krys and Coasters!
	♥ 1:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hello krys ...all...
	♥ 1:01pm Krys O.: Hello, Handy!
	♥ 1:02pm Krys O.: Hey, tom tom!
	♥ 1:02pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @12:59 Fun fact: the first time I should have seen her, she got ill and cancelled. The second time was supposed to be in a proper theater, but a fire broke out and it was moved to a nearby artist space. I'm not her good luck charm
	♥ 1:02pm yerfriendpaul: Hi Krys! Hi everyone! Krys, I thought of you on Thursday. I was at a record store and I found “The Six Million Dollar Man” record! Of course I bought it!
	♥ 1:03pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:02 Oof! :(
	♥ 1:03pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:02 Hey, Paul! Awesome! Hope it wasn't too steep.
	♥ 1:04pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Krys O. @1:03 Luckily not bad at all! 12 bucks! Worth it!
	♥ 1:05pm Krys O.: ↳ yerfriendpaul @1:04 Cool!
	♥ 1:05pm Handy Haversack: Krys, you introduced me to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, which I then picked up at Record Fair. Do you have his Spartacus? I think I need to get it. Fish is on it! Mind: blown. Seems like it came out only on CD.
	♥ 1:06pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:05 Had no idea about Spartacus. Will definitely check it out.
	♥ 1:07pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:05 Any Radio update?
	♥ 1:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Krys O. @1:06 We were playing Spartacus: Blood and Sand the boardgame last weekend and listening to War of the Worlds, and then it all came clear from Wikipedia, and mind: blown!
	♥ 1:08pm WR: Hi Krys and free form streamers
	♥ 1:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:07 Snoring on my hip right now! He's had a great week.
	♥ 1:08pm Krys O.: Hi, WR!
	♥ 1:08pm tom tom the pipers son: my ex in-laws knew ravi shankar...a picture of her as a baby with him, she also played with anoushka as children...my ex mother in law stayed in touch with shankar's wives
	♥ 1:09pm tom tom the pipers son: picture of my ex with shankar...
	♥ 1:10pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:08 You always seem to say he's sleeping. Are you sure he's not a cat? Maybe he's trying to fit in
	♥ 1:10pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:08 Nice!
	♥ 1:10pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @1:10 Right? He has learned some habits from them, I think.
	♥ 1:12pm Krys O.: Puppies sleep 15-20 hours a day on the average. Cats sleep 12-18 hours, but I thought I heard Nadia mention that cats sleep closer to 20 hours a day.
	♥ 1:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Swara-Kakali" by "Ravi Shankar & Yehudi Menuhin" digging...bryce had a really good show on friday, he often plays indian music plated with western instruments
	♥ 1:14pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:13 I'm a die-hard Bryce fan from way back. He used to be a neighbor.
	♥ 1:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:14 oh really, so glad he recovered from his accident...painful to think about
	♥ 1:17pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:14 Bryce is awesome. I once missed a concert because his show was so great I couldn't leave
	♥ 1:17pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:16 That was so frightening when that happened. Every single atom that makes up Bryce is kind and sweet.
	♥ 1:18pm tom tom the pipers son: i can imagine...
	♥ 1:18pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:17 Sometimes we have the opportunity to leave work early on Fridays, but I like to stick around until Bryce's show is done. It also gives me a chance to catch up on things without others distracting me.
	♥ 1:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Literature is Fluff" by "The High Llamas" They have a new record out I think?
	♥ 1:25pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @1:17 After the accident, I told one member of the La Novia collective about it, saying he's a DJ who played their stuff. He thought about it and said his last name (which I didn't know) as in "this Bryce?" Seems he ordered basically everything from them, and that musician handles orders
	♥ 1:26pm Krys O.: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:24 I see that now. Thanks for the tip.
	♥ 1:27pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @1:25 That sounds about right.
	♥ 1:31pm tom tom the pipers son: dug that high llamas song but i got the impression they were shadowing the beach boys...where the animal collective who are bbs fans i feel have fully absorbed the influence
	♥ 1:33pm tom tom the pipers son: i did not recognize this as sinatra at first ...nice backing
	♥ 1:33pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:31 Do you remember Microdisney?
	♥ 1:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:33 no. i don't know what it is...
	♥ 1:37pm tom tom the pipers son: oh interesting...i do remember fatima mansions
	♥ 1:39pm fred: ↳ Song: "The Prisoner Theme" by "Ron Grainer Orchestra" It totally blew my mind (aired in the '80s in France)
	♥ 1:40pm tom tom the pipers son: recent news A 2024 documentary, titled Microdisney: The Clock Comes Down the Stairs and focusing on the band's formation and career and reformation, was broadcast on BBC4 on 15 March 2024.[17]
	♥ 1:41pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:40 👍
	♥ 1:43pm Krys O.: Lew Grade was behind the success of the Muppet Show and their movies.
	♥ 1:49pm fred: Now iPhones are becoming mandatory (I still resist, but I know I will have to give in)
	♥ 1:50pm tom tom the pipers son: i watched quite a few episodes of the prisoner but never saw number one...
	♥ 1:51pm WR: ↳ Song: "Interviewed by Warner Troyer" by "Patrick McGoohan" Great interview, hadn't heard it before.
	♥ 1:52pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @1:51 I only came upon it a couple of weeks ago.
	♥ 1:53pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:50 prisoner.fandom.com...
	♥ 1:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:53 thanks ...interesting
	♥ 1:56pm Krys O.: Wm Berger, some friends and I went to a Halloween party in the mid-80s, and Berger went as Number 6. No one at the party knew what that was. He even had McGoohan's speech patterns down.
	♥ 1:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:56 haha...
	♥ 2:00pm Krys O.: Oddly enough Muscat died seven months after this interview in 1977. His character in the Prisoner reminded me a little of Dr. Miguelito Loveless from Wild, Wild West played by Michael Dunn.
	♥ 2:08pm Herb: Hi Krys & Krüe!
	♥ 2:08pm Krys O.: Hello, Herb!
	♥ 2:09pm Herb: I miss Van de Kamp's salt rising bread
	♥ 2:12pm Herb: ↳ Song: "The Prisoner Theme" by "Ron Grainer Orchestra" I loved this series!
	♥ 2:13pm Krys O.: ↳ Herb @2:12 Ditto!
	♥ 2:15pm WR: Be Seeing You
	♥ 2:16pm fred: Great interview! The Prisoner was top TV for me, until Twin Peaks
	2:18pm Mr. Oxford: Hello Krys O! Hello all! Missed out on the Ravi Shankar & Yehudi Menuhin track but will look for it in the archives.
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:16 My brother is 7 years older than me and he's very much into science, science fiction, etc. Through him I learned more than my peers in school were exposed to. I don't recall being able to talk to my schoolmates back then about The Prisoner. That happened only later on in college and beyond.
	♥ 2:19pm tom tom the pipers son: sounded like the interviewer wanted to reassure his audience that the prisoner was only "fiction"
	♥ 2:19pm Krys O.: Hi, Mr. Oxford!
	♥ 2:20pm Herb: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:19 red flag!
	♥ 2:20pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:19 I know what you mean. He was almost saying that's it's not all that bad, is it?
	♥ 2:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:20 he said something like "you have control over your villages" at the end
	♥ 2:24pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:20 I guess there's an escaping in Twin Peaks in saying evil is out there, while The Prisoner says evil has always been within
	♥ 2:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @2:20 with implying that, the interview could almost be used as a coda to the series
	♥ 2:24pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:24 Sounds about right.
	♥ 2:32pm WR: ↳ fred @2:16 I wasn't pulled in to Twin Peaks when it was originally broadcast, though one group of friends were deep into it. I've just got it on DVD from the library and with try again. I had already seen several episodes of Secret Agent Man in the 60s and was delighted with The Prisoner. I was lucky that it didn't conflict with something my father liked so saw most of the in their first US run. I was enhanced even if much of it was over my head.
	♥ 2:35pm Krys O.: I remember watching reruns of Secret Agent. I also watched The Saint with Roger Moore. In my teens I watched the original Saint movies with George Sanders.
	🎢 ♥ 2:40pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "We'll Sing in the Sunshine" by "Betty Colson" I wish I could be singing in the sunshine today. There's just enough rain falling this afternoon to be annoying, and to make bike riding (which I was doing before) an uncomfortable hazard.
	♥ 2:40pm WR: ↳ WR @2:32 meant to write enchanted but the series surely enhanced my thinking as well.
	♥ 2:41pm Krys O.: Hello, Dan S!
	🎢 ♥ 2:42pm Dan S: ↳ Krys O. @2:41 Hi Krys. On the plus side, i now have an excuse to stay home and listen to WFMU.
	♥ 2:42pm Krys O.: ↳ Dan S @2:42 Thanks for joining us.
	♥ 2:47pm WR: ↳ Song: "Doncha Go 'way Mad" by "Page Cavanaugh Trio" the credits on the label: "add two wives"?
	♥ 2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @2:47 The two female vocalists: Gale Allan and Lynn Davis.
	♥ 2:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Food" by "The Turtles" This Turtles album is so good.
	♥ 2:52pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @2:52 It's a masterpiece. Used to listen to it in the 90s. It held up well.
	♥ 2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys, have a good rest of weekend...weather tomorrow...(?)
	♥ 2:53pm Krys O.: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:53 Thanks, tom tom. You too. It's a good time for some spring cleaning.
	♥ 2:54pm DJ Babs: wonderful show Krys thank you!!!
	♥ 2:55pm Krys O.: Hey, Babs! Thanks!
	♥ 2:56pm Krys O.: Thank you, all for spending your time here. It's always appreciated! xxxooo
	♥ 2:56pm fred: I hate people rant: why do people stop to chat, check their phone, search a bag, at the narrowest place in the sidewalk? Also, why do people drive faster when it rains? Might be French specific stupidity
	♥ 2:57pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:56 Ah, cell phone zombies. I used to call them out on the streets of NYC. Stay safe, fred.
	♥ 2:58pm WR: Thank you! Krys!
	🎢 ♥ 2:58pm Dan S: Be well, Krys!
	♥ 2:59pm Krys O.: I should add "Be seeing you."
	♥ 2:59pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:57 I tried to sneak that rant when nobody would see it

	♥ 2:40pm WR: ↳ WR @2:32 meant to write enchanted but the series surely enhanced my thinking as well.
	♥ 2:41pm Krys O.: Hello, Dan S!
	🎢 ♥ 2:42pm Dan S: ↳ Krys O. @2:41 Hi Krys. On the plus side, i now have an excuse to stay home and listen to WFMU.

	♥ 2:47pm WR: ↳ Song: "Doncha Go 'way Mad" by "Page Cavanaugh Trio" the credits on the label: "add two wives"?
	♥ 2:48pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @2:47 The two female vocalists: Gale Allan and Lynn Davis.
	♥ 2:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Food" by "The Turtles" This Turtles album is so good.
	♥ 2:52pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @2:52 It's a masterpiece. Used to listen to it in the 90s. It held up well.
	♥ 2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks krys, have a good rest of weekend...weather tomorrow...(?)

	♥ 2:56pm fred: I hate people rant: why do people stop to chat, check their phone, search a bag, at the narrowest place in the sidewalk? Also, why do people drive faster when it rains? Might be French specific stupidity
	♥ 2:57pm Krys O.: ↳ fred @2:56 Ah, cell phone zombies. I used to call them out on the streets of NYC. Stay safe, fred.
	♥ 2:58pm WR: Thank you! Krys!

	♥ 2:59pm Krys O.: I should add "Be seeing you."
	♥ 2:59pm fred: ↳ Krys O. @2:57 I tried to sneak that rant when nobody would see it
