	7:13pm Gary: Coelacanth!
	7:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Certain Blacks" by "Art Ensemble of Chicago" Hello Gary and folks. Very surprised to not see this track with lots of past favorite clicky stars. Don't see any naming or spelling deviations that would separate the playlist entry from when others may have played it. Surprised.
	7:18pm Gary: WR! It's one of the most wonderful things I've ever heard, I gotta say
	7:20pm emily_w: Hello!!! I am finally able to listen live again! <3
	7:23pm Gary: Emily!!! So nice to see you
	7:25pm peter: hey Gary & all!
	7:27pm Gary: Peter! Hey there!
	7:33pm spodiodi: greetings, Gary and all! (listening since the beginning, just now able to say hello)
	7:33pm tom tom the pipers son: hi gary and listeners
	7:33pm Gary: Tom Tom!
	7:36pm spodiodi: "Certain Men" came to mind the second i saw the track name (that's a Negativalnd song)
	7:38pm Dean: OED on "uniquity": "The quality of being unique, uniqueness." From at least 1789, Horace Walpole.
	7:38pm spodiodi: tidily also legit fwiw
	7:39pm tom tom the pipers son: eunuchquity.... ??
	7:39pm Dean: Little Axe...a sibling (or outcropping) of Mississippi?
	7:39pm spodiodi: in my mind anyway
	7:40pm Gary: Spodiodi and Dean!
	7:40pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Certain Blacks" by "Art Ensemble of Chicago" Hi Gary and chat! Absent any context I couldn't make heads or tails of this piece. Thanks for the explanation. Although joy spewing also requires a little explanation....
	7:40pm Dean: I know I've been to Little Axe...
	7:40pm spodiodi: 🙇🏻‍♂️
	7:41pm Gary: Alex! My interpretation is purely speculative!
	7:41pm tim abdellah: Hiya Gary and Bodegans - listening while refining some algorithms over here. Gorgeous in Berkeley today. That Art Ensemble was 🔥🔥
	7:41pm Gary: ↳ Dean @7:38 Aha! Thanks, Dean
	7:42pm Gary: Tim!!!!! This weekend is the weekend wherein we WILL SOLIDIFY OUR PLANS for the YOU KNOW WHAT
	7:42pm Dean: I second tim's remark about the weather here today.
	7:45pm Dean: A 2007 illustration of "uniquity" in OED, culled from Renaissance Quarterly, has me curious to see the entire source. It reads, "Early modern anxieties about the uniquity of humanity."
	7:46pm peter: I was late to the show cause I was out at the hardware store, and then repairing a medicine cabinet.. now that's all done and I'm just enjoying some jasmine tea and a heong peah
	7:46pm tim abdellah: @Gary - sounds good! @Dean - I was at Caffe Strada earlier today: sunny, breezy, just dreamy
	7:47pm Dean: @tim: I'm just across the street from Strada! Rather, was, as I'm now home. Nothing like hanging at Strada with a book or a notepad on a gorgeous day.
	7:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Side A: Anamorfosen; Kanske; Detta Alternativa Se... thought it was robert wyatt at first
	7:49pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Side A: Anamorfosen; Kanske; Detta Alternativa Se... i this is great
	7:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 some wilsonian progressions too
	7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: like dis
	7:53pm Dean: Sternpost does seem to be tapping influences from various tributaries of prog rock, e.g., Canterbury sound. So, not absolutely incomparable. But then everything is like everything else. I was thinking "Compared to What?" referred to the opposite phenomenon, when completely unfamiliar music nevertheless invokes something so eerily familiar. The Nonesuch Explorer LP Turkish Village Music came to mind. Upon first playing it (thank you, public library) I felt I was hearing something utterly familiar to me, but unplaceably so. ("Unplaceable" is a word, so I took liberties.)
	7:54pm tom tom the pipers son: and dis
	7:55pm tom tom the pipers son: echoes of beginning to california girls
	7:56pm Dean: I need to hear more Secret Oyster, Cafe Jacques, Jack Lancaster stuff like Marscape... All coming to mind here.
	8:02pm tim abdellah: Discogs entry says Ulrika was recorded beteween 2019-22
	8:02pm tim abdellah: www.discogs.com...
	8:03pm Dean: You're right, Gary. Our tendency is to square our circumstances with what we know, and so we try to shoehorn the unfamiliar into patterns of familiarity. Ironically, I "compared" Sternpost to Cafe Jacques, a band I otherwise find entirely incomparable.
	8:03pm tom tom the pipers son: wasn't commenting regarding show's premise
	8:05pm headcleaner: Frankly the ATC analogy is a bit over my head but I'll go with it nonetheless
	8:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Side B: Gigolo Aunt; Clowns and Jugglers; Late Ni... oh... this is going to interesting
	8:06pm slugluv1313: greetings, Gary! Bodega Pop Cats! been lurking, listening from the beginning -- finally getting to say hello to everyone! loving the sounds/vibes -- feels so perfect with this wonderfully gloomy evening (and much needed break in the brutal humidity and heat!) 😺😺
	8:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! On time for AltSyd...
	8:06pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:03 Oh, I'm just funning around
	8:07pm Andres: Sorry, Gary. You’re going to have to return your credentials. JK. I haven’t heard it either as with so much. That’s why I’m tuned in. :)
	8:07pm Gary: Slugluv and Revrab!
	8:07pm Gary: Andres! Thank you for letting me stay haha
	8:08pm Dean: From bandcamp: "Although some analogues can be made to 70s era Robert Wyatt, Brian Wilson’s lush arrangements or Slapp Happy’s charming avant–pop, Herbertsson has done an impeccable job of distilling these influences into his own defined sound. From the production to the compositions, nothing about 'Ulrika' feels modern, the entire affair sounding like it could have been released in 1972 (in the best way possible)."
	8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: .....👍🏻
	8:09pm Dean: Why is the digital album at bandcamp priced from $1,000?
	8:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:08 i'm in halfway aggreement with this
	8:10pm Dean: ...of Sternpost, I mean.
	8:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Side B: Gigolo Aunt; Clowns and Jugglers; Late Ni... Jerry Shirley from HumblePie on Drums if I'm not mistaken.
	8:10pm tim abdellah: ↳ Dean @8:10 maybe not dollars?
	8:11pm Dean: Good point, but it does read $... USD.
	8:11pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:10 Some people might do that to discourage digital purchase I think?
	8:12pm tom tom the pipers son: this version is also on opel
	8:14pm WR: sternpost.bandcamp.com... reasonable price here. don't know what listing you are looking at.
	8:14pm tim abdellah: ↳ Dean @8:11 I'm seeing it sold for 45 SEK (= $4.29 USD) sternpost.bandcamp.com...
	8:14pm wimpy: If you like these songs you really should do yourself a favor and listen to the madcap laughs at least, it’s definitely one of my all time favorites
	8:15pm Dean: https://sternpostulrika.bandcamp.com/album/ulrika-2
	8:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 late night also opel....released by harvest... late eighties
	8:16pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:14 If you click through from the Concentric Circles Bandcamp page it's 1000 bucks
	8:16pm Gary: ↳ wimpy @8:14 Wimpy! Yeah, I definitely wanna hear the final version
	8:16pm rw: Hello!
	8:17pm Gary: RW!
	8:17pm Little Danny: hello gary!
	8:18pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and Syd! Excellent treadmill music.
	8:18pm Gary: Whoa, Little Danny! Hey there!
	8:19pm tom tom the pipers son: @gary...if you're going down the barrett rabbit hole, check out "the bob dylan blues", an homage and piss take on dylan
	8:19pm Dean: This note appears, oddly, at the URL I posted @8:15: "*ATTENTION* Do not purchase digital files from Concentric Circles! All digital sales should be made at https://sternpost.bandcamp.com/album/ulrika "
	8:19pm Dean: Alan Hull...
	8:20pm tom tom the pipers son: i believe this is not on opel
	8:20pm tim abdellah: ↳ Dean @8:19 Very weird!
	8:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:20 version
	8:21pm rw: Cool to hear these versions. Never get sick of this stuff.
	8:21pm Carmichael: Alan Hull of Lindisfarne?
	8:21pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:20 I think the deal is that the label is wanting to ensure that the digital sales all go to the artist, thus the 1000 per track (if you buy from label) + exhortation
	8:22pm Gary: Carmichael!
	8:23pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Side B: Gigolo Aunt; Clowns and Jugglers; Late Ni... A delightful thing, this English language of ours
	8:23pm rw: Dug that last LP too. Reminded me of something could be on Recommended Records. Cow-ish a little.
	8:23pm Andres: “Is this Donovan?” my wife just asked. I hear it.
	8:24pm Dean: Yes, @Carmichael, I was hearing Hull in Barrett's singing.
	8:24pm tom tom the pipers son: last two not on opel
	8:25pm still b/p: I'm getting intermittent Ray Davies/Syd vocal kinship.
	8:26pm tom tom the pipers son: i find syd singing very conversational and brechtian
	8:26pm Gary: Still b/p!
	8:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'GoldenHair' words of course by JamesJoyce.
	8:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes there was Donovan before Marc Bolan or even SydBarrett.
	8:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Cad Walleder" by "Sun City Girls" been hearing a lotof great sun city girls lately...
	8:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& RayDavies often cited as first to really sing Rawk'n'Roll in a distinctly British inflection perhaps one would say.
	8:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:30 and who was the first 'murican to sing with a british accent?...;)
	8:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:31 i can't think of one, but it seems they were out there....
	8:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:31 Alexander Hamilton ?
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:34 good guess ...did they put on british accents for the broadway hamilton?
	8:36pm mackeral: hey folks! so late today, completely crashing out here
	8:37pm tom tom the pipers son: sun city girls indeed...!
	8:37pm WR: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:34 nah, mon, Hamilton was from the West Indies, mon.
	8:37pm tim abdellah: Hi Mack!
	8:37pm mackeral: ↳ tim abdellah @8:37 yo Tim!
	8:41pm still b/p: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:31 Merv Griffin -- I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts. Not first in chronology, but of first quality. A stirring, stellar and standout contribution to the genre.
	8:43pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @8:41 ah, thank you...
	8:44pm tom tom the pipers son: pav(o)ne
	8:45pm tom tom the pipers son: interesting stuff here....
	8:46pm Dean: Pavone, no?
	8:46pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "But Not Here" by "Jessica Pavone" Reminds me of something I heard in the ealry 80s. A recording of someone reading was played in an empty room. Then the recording was played and recorded. And through about 10-15 iterations it sounded like this.
	8:47pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:46 Oh, shoot, yes -- sorry everyone, I just fixed it
	8:47pm Dean: Try again?
	8:48pm WR: ↳ Song: "But Not Here" by "Jessica Pavone" As Dean just commented, it is Pavone jessicapavone.bandcamp.com... She was a guest on Scott McDowell's program in 2019. wfmu.org... If I remember right, they were saying Pah - vo - neh.
	8:49pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @8:46 The compounded reverb rendered it wordless.
	8:50pm Dean: Ah, so probably of Italian extraction, comme moi?
	8:51pm Dean: Nieither VLC nor pop-up is working for me. Y'all?
	8:51pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Side D: The Last Supper; Puppets' Ascension; Walt... damn.
	8:51pm tom tom the pipers son: @ 8:44.......
	8:52pm spodiodi: ↳ spodiodi @8:51 or that was possibly for the previous track
	8:52pm spodiodi: yes
	8:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:51 pop up working
	8:52pm spodiodi: my vlc is solid here in sf, Dean
	8:54pm Dean: Thank, all. I got nuffin' here. This truly will be a program of incomparable (and literally unlistenable) music from here on in.
	8:55pm mackeral: if compounded reverb is your game, check out Jakob Kirkegaard's Four Rooms jacobkirkegaardreleases.bandcamp.com...
	8:56pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @8:54 pop up is working here, fwiw
	8:57pm tom tom the pipers son: j a seazer a japanese artist w/ a couple of disciplines i believe
	8:58pm Alex from Media: ↳ mackeral @8:55 thanks mackeral!
	9:01pm Dean: Yeah, I'm not getting anything. Probably my kid upstairs hogging the bandwidth on video games. But damn, this Dolphy Outward Bound is sounding fine!
	9:05pm TDK60: Hello.
	9:06pm spodiodi: ↳ TDK60 @9:05 \\//
	9:07pm Jeff g. via app: Viola!
	9:09pm TDK60: Hi spodiodi. \\//
	9:12pm wimpy: This is kind of a crazy beat for 83
	9:12pm Gary: Jeff G and TDK60!
	9:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Beat Bop" by "Rammellzee & K-Rob" they were probably digging tom tom club
	9:14pm wimpy: Also love the show so far! Syd Barrett, art ensemble of Chicago and sun city girls are all some of my favorites
	9:17pm wimpy: I’m at work so I didn’t get to listen to that last supper track as closely as I would’ve liked but I’ll definitely listen to it again in the archive
	9:19pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Beat Bop" by "Rammellzee & K-Rob" Envious of this find. Epic jam!
	9:20pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Beat Bop" by "Rammellzee & K-Rob" oh hell yeah! 🔥🔥🔥
	9:22pm slugluv1313: ↳ Andres @9:19 hi Andres! right? i know someone who has an original that they got way back then --- sooooo jealous
	9:25pm Andres: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:22 Hey, slug! This was the first I heard it. Loved it!
	9:25pm Dean: Cleared cookies. Back to normal.
	9:25pm Carmichael: This sounds like 80s soundtrack stuff. And that’s a good thing.
	9:38pm slugluv1313: ↳ Carmichael @9:25 hi Carmichel! yes! feeling a kinda Midnight Express/Giorgio Moroder vibe . . . now Tears For Fears-ish -- very cool!
	9:41pm Gary: Hey Kids! Stick around after this mess for Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: " I Sat Outside with Horses Last Night" wfmu.org...
	9:42pm Little Danny: sick!

	8:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! On time for AltSyd...
	8:06pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:03 Oh, I'm just funning around
	8:07pm Andres: Sorry, Gary. You’re going to have to return your credentials. JK. I haven’t heard it either as with so much. That’s why I’m tuned in. :)
	8:07pm Gary: Slugluv and Revrab!
	8:07pm Gary: Andres! Thank you for letting me stay haha
	8:08pm Dean: From bandcamp: "Although some analogues can be made to 70s era Robert Wyatt, Brian Wilson’s lush arrangements or Slapp Happy’s charming avant–pop, Herbertsson has done an impeccable job of distilling these influences into his own defined sound. From the production to the compositions, nothing about 'Ulrika' feels modern, the entire affair sounding like it could have been released in 1972 (in the best way possible)."
	8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: .....👍🏻
	8:09pm Dean: Why is the digital album at bandcamp priced from $1,000?
	8:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:08 i'm in halfway aggreement with this
	8:10pm Dean: ...of Sternpost, I mean.
	8:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Side B: Gigolo Aunt; Clowns and Jugglers; Late Ni... Jerry Shirley from HumblePie on Drums if I'm not mistaken.
	8:10pm tim abdellah: ↳ Dean @8:10 maybe not dollars?
	8:11pm Dean: Good point, but it does read $... USD.
	8:11pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:10 Some people might do that to discourage digital purchase I think?
	8:12pm tom tom the pipers son: this version is also on opel
	8:14pm WR: sternpost.bandcamp.com... reasonable price here. don't know what listing you are looking at.
	8:14pm tim abdellah: ↳ Dean @8:11 I'm seeing it sold for 45 SEK (= $4.29 USD) sternpost.bandcamp.com...
	8:14pm wimpy: If you like these songs you really should do yourself a favor and listen to the madcap laughs at least, it’s definitely one of my all time favorites
	8:15pm Dean: https://sternpostulrika.bandcamp.com/album/ulrika-2
	8:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 late night also opel....released by harvest... late eighties
	8:16pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:14 If you click through from the Concentric Circles Bandcamp page it's 1000 bucks

	8:18pm Gary: Whoa, Little Danny! Hey there!
	8:19pm tom tom the pipers son: @gary...if you're going down the barrett rabbit hole, check out "the bob dylan blues", an homage and piss take on dylan
	8:19pm Dean: This note appears, oddly, at the URL I posted @8:15: "*ATTENTION* Do not purchase digital files from Concentric Circles! All digital sales should be made at https://sternpost.bandcamp.com/album/ulrika "
	8:19pm Dean: Alan Hull...
	8:20pm tom tom the pipers son: i believe this is not on opel
	8:20pm tim abdellah: ↳ Dean @8:19 Very weird!
	8:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:20 version
	8:21pm rw: Cool to hear these versions. Never get sick of this stuff.
	8:21pm Carmichael: Alan Hull of Lindisfarne?
	8:21pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:20 I think the deal is that the label is wanting to ensure that the digital sales all go to the artist, thus the 1000 per track (if you buy from label) + exhortation
	8:22pm Gary: Carmichael!
	8:23pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Side B: Gigolo Aunt; Clowns and Jugglers; Late Ni... A delightful thing, this English language of ours
	8:23pm rw: Dug that last LP too. Reminded me of something could be on Recommended Records. Cow-ish a little.
	8:23pm Andres: “Is this Donovan?” my wife just asked. I hear it.
	8:24pm Dean: Yes, @Carmichael, I was hearing Hull in Barrett's singing.
	8:24pm tom tom the pipers son: last two not on opel
	8:25pm still b/p: I'm getting intermittent Ray Davies/Syd vocal kinship.
	8:26pm tom tom the pipers son: i find syd singing very conversational and brechtian
	8:26pm Gary: Still b/p!
	8:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'GoldenHair' words of course by JamesJoyce.
	8:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes there was Donovan before Marc Bolan or even SydBarrett.
	8:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Cad Walleder" by "Sun City Girls" been hearing a lotof great sun city girls lately...
	8:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& RayDavies often cited as first to really sing Rawk'n'Roll in a distinctly British inflection perhaps one would say.
	8:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:30 and who was the first 'murican to sing with a british accent?...;)
	8:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:31 i can't think of one, but it seems they were out there....
	8:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:31 Alexander Hamilton ?
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:34 good guess ...did they put on british accents for the broadway hamilton?
	8:36pm mackeral: hey folks! so late today, completely crashing out here
	8:37pm tom tom the pipers son: sun city girls indeed...!
	8:37pm WR: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:34 nah, mon, Hamilton was from the West Indies, mon.

	8:44pm tom tom the pipers son: pav(o)ne
	8:45pm tom tom the pipers son: interesting stuff here....
	8:46pm Dean: Pavone, no?
	8:46pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "But Not Here" by "Jessica Pavone" Reminds me of something I heard in the ealry 80s. A recording of someone reading was played in an empty room. Then the recording was played and recorded. And through about 10-15 iterations it sounded like this.
	8:47pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:46 Oh, shoot, yes -- sorry everyone, I just fixed it
	8:47pm Dean: Try again?
	8:48pm WR: ↳ Song: "But Not Here" by "Jessica Pavone" As Dean just commented, it is Pavone jessicapavone.bandcamp.com... She was a guest on Scott McDowell's program in 2019. wfmu.org... If I remember right, they were saying Pah - vo - neh.
	8:49pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @8:46 The compounded reverb rendered it wordless.
	8:50pm Dean: Ah, so probably of Italian extraction, comme moi?
	8:51pm Dean: Nieither VLC nor pop-up is working for me. Y'all?
	8:51pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Side D: The Last Supper; Puppets' Ascension; Walt... damn.

	9:19pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Beat Bop" by "Rammellzee & K-Rob" Envious of this find. Epic jam!
