Listener comments!
	7:01pm chresti: Hi Gary and bodega show!
	7:02pm peter: hey Gary & co.!
	7:03pm WR: The are many compilers, each language needs at least one. The output from the compilers is endless.
	7:05pm Gary: Chresti, Peter, and WR!
	7:06pm doctorjazz: Imagine me and you, I do, I think about you day and night, it's only right... (oh, wrong lyric). Hi Gary and shoppers!
	7:07pm Gary: Dr. Jazz!
	7:09pm spodiodi: Hi Gary! Hi poppers
	7:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:06 Hey, call me up—invest a dime!
	7:10pm Gary: Spodiodi!
	7:11pm Gary: Gregory!
	7:11pm Listener Gregory: I thought I was going out to get dinner, but I'm staying in instead, so your show has to be pretty nourishing, Gary.
	7:13pm mackeral: hey folks!
	7:13pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:11 It's filled with Vitamin B, Gregory. B for Boston
	7:13pm Gary: Mackeral!
	7:17pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @7:13 You're full of Beans today!
	7:19pm chresti: compilations are like the foundation of my music collection
	7:20pm Gary: ↳ chresti @7:19 They're a big part of my CD collection, but less so my records or tapes
	7:22pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @7:17 hi chresti!\\//
	7:27pm Listener Gregory: I think I own a compilation. Maybe.
	7:30pm chresti: ↳ spodiodi @7:22 looking at the postage stamp size version of your avatar, I see a friendly looking puppet- like Cecile
	7:33pm Listener Gregory: Gary, would you count historical collections as compilations? Like the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz or Yazoo albums of blues musicians/songsters from a particular location? In most cases, the artists would not have put out any albums.
	7:33pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 Yes! Absolutely
	7:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 Got a bunch of those (surprise).
	7:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 Smithsonian also put out collections of Big Band, Country Music, Singers.
	7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like legend is when LennyKaye conceived of Nuggets - it was 50% Smithsonian DNA ...& 50% cheapo Pop K-Tel comps sold on TV !... & don't forget Loss Leaders...
	7:42pm Listener Gregory: Yes, they do a great job.
	7:43pm Gary: RevRab!
	7:43pm Listener Gregory: I have the big band one, which I was surprised at how much I liked it.
	7:44pm doctorjazz: New World Records also put out quite a few nice anthologies, and they're we're a number of labels with great early African music. (Original Music was one).
	7:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:43 I also really got into that one!
	7:46pm mackeral: digging the whole spread here, Gary
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:42 Yup, definitely can't forget Nuggets.
	7:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The like 7 platter Smithsonian History of Jazz certainly mattered for me ...I used to gather LPs & vinyl found - from the Library or other people - alphabetize by Artist - & throw it all together on Cassettes to keep it. Whatever it was.
	7:47pm WR: ↳ Gary @7:20 Speaking of CDs, used CDs are still a bargain. I'm unpacking a discogs purchase. 14 CDs, all but 3 are multi CD compilations. $20 for 25 CDs of ~45 minutes each of iconic recordings by jazz greats.
	7:48pm WR: ↳ Song: "Morning in China" by "Clä-Sick" A Japanese new wave compilation. mixmag.asia...
	7:49pm Gary: ↳ doctorjazz @7:44 I picked up a number of those Original Musics in the East Bay when I was hanging out with Tim Abdellah last year
	7:50pm mic_a: Hi, Gary & BPs. I'm usually only in the archived bodega, but here you are, and I am, and what an excellent topic. I'll just offer my usual personal nostalgia. My earliest vinyl comp: https://www.discogs.com/master/324215-Dick-Clark-20-Years-Of-Rock-N-Roll And the one that threw the biggest spin at my little head (looka that lineup!): https://www.discogs.com/master/332821-Various-V
	7:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:47 The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz was the "textbook" for a great jazz history class I took in college (taught by Chuck Israels, who played bass for Bill Evans, among other things. Though I had no idea he was anything special at the time. He did teach a great class, though, changed my listening).
	7:52pm Gary: Mic_a! My earliest comp was my first record purchase: American Graffiti soundtrack
	7:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:47 - so, Comps were beloved. & I let the alphabet do my sequencing...
	7:56pm WR: ↳ mic_a @7:50 Cool. Never has seen that Virgin comp, a mix of performers I know well and love and some new to me even now.
	7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @7:51 Fabulous job of starting with Africa & worksongs - on up thru Ornette & CecilTaylor.
	7:57pm TDK60: Hi Gary.
	7:57pm Gary: TDK60!
	7:58pm mic_a: If we allow cassette, I got Cruisin' 1961 even earlier: https://www.discogs.com/master/266890-Various-Cruisin-1961 50s nostalgia was a big thing in the early 70s.
	8:00pm Erik/VT: oh yea, forgot about that original 2xLp American Graffiti soundtrack - what a fun way to learn about the past as a 70s youth. 👏
	8:01pm Gary: Erik!
	8:01pm WR: Here is the the first comp that I picked out for myself: www.discogs.com... Got it when it was first released. I stole it from a department store at a mall in 1966.
	8:01pm mic_a: Yes, that "V" comp was an amazing guide.
	8:03pm Listener Gregory: Wilmington, Vermont.
	8:04pm mic_a: That KILT is a pretty amazing lineup too.
	8:08pm peter: sure you won't be surprised to hear that i'm absolutely mad for comps! especially for singles-based scenes (which so many are) or the like.. they're indispensable! i love a nicely thought-out full-album listen as well, but comps are almost always where i always start when checking out a new genre
	8:09pm Listener Gregory: There’s also a Wilmington, NC, but no one cares about that one.
	8:13pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:08 Peter, how would you go about a compilation drawn entirely from Thai cassettes?
	8:13pm mic_a: Must bow out now. Will catch the echoes in the archive. Thanks Gary, good nights everyone.
	8:13pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @8:13 Night, and nice to meet you here, mic_a!
	8:18pm Erik/VT: my 15/16 year old mindblower transition as a ‘wake-up-call comp’ was “Wanna Buy a Bridge” (1980) = UK bands get a significant domestic push - folks go bonkers over it. Followed by the life changing 2xLp comp: ‘Recommended Records Sampler’ (1982) = literally changed the way I perceived & pursued music ever since hearing it.🌟👏 🥳. Btw@Gary: absolutely loved those 1st 3 compilations you shared! 👏👏👏.
	8:22pm Gary: ↳ Erik/VT @8:18 That Wanna Buy a Bridge comp looks amazing
	8:23pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Good Vibes" by "Hot Soul Singers" A hammer, a hoo hoo!
	8:29pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:13 first step would be to find an audio engineer who specializes in mastering from cassette source haha.. well maybe second, if you count locating the rights-holders, and if you find them they might have access to the masters (but that's not really your question)
	8:30pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:29 No, that is not really my question, haha, but yeah, we don't tend to think of all of the extra groundwork that has to be done to pull one of these together
	8:30pm peter: but yeah, if i were actually making a compilation from cassette sources, i'd want to have a remastering job done that would justify people spending money instead of me sharing it for free online like i always do
	8:31pm WR: ↳ Erik/VT @8:18 Interesting random footnote to the two comps you got and the Virgin records V comp that mic_a got. Each one of the three has a track by Robert Wyatt.
	8:34pm headcleaner: Evening, peoples. Sorry to be late for class, but I had some business to conduct down at my ... bodega.
	8:35pm Gary: Headcleaner!
	8:43pm Listener Gregory: These cuts are so different from the South African side, much of which could have been from the US.
	8:43pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Don't You Know" by "Peter Abdul" Woo hoooooo! Hi Gary, hi All!
	8:44pm Gary: Marie! How goes?
	8:44pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:43 They share our pop bubblegum leanings
	8:47pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @8:43 Hey, pretty alright. I'm hating my job, but, hey, everything else is alright @) More fun and live music would help. How about you?
	8:47pm Dean: Somewhere along or beyond the spectrum "crass...to...preservation" we'll have to situate scholarship, namely, liner notes. The almost unique example that comes to mind is Graham Johnson's series on Hyperion of the complete Schubert lieder, coupled with an assortment of related works. These appeared from the '80s into the '00s, each with a CD booklet so fat that most wouldn't survive the jewel case. After its completion, Johnson published a book consisting of the compiled booklet texts. So, while not a vinyl release, it is a striking instance of liner note as a medium for scholarship.
	8:48pm Gary: ↳ Marie in Chicago @8:47 STRESSED b/c of work, but in most life matters, terrific
	8:49pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:47 Dean! I am a super-fan of liner notes and that sounds just amazing
	8:54pm northguineahills: Gary!
	8:56pm Dean: In law school--law school!--I took a course in Cal's notorious Rhetoric Dep't in which I wrote a paper about liner notes. My narrow subject was the notes accompanying recordings designed to reenact not just the music of a certain time and place, but particular historical events and circumstances.
	8:57pm Dean: "As Americans, we don't know what the fuck's going on." May I quote you?
	8:59pm northguineahills: the jamaican scene is very male dominated. but the British lovers rock scene is very female dominated....
	8:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Devon Jean" by "Ralph Johnson" Have this, cool set!
	8:59pm WR: ↳ Dean @8:47 Yes, there are several comps that I have bought mostly to get the "liner notes". A couple of them being precursors to books. Various compilations by Allen Lowe, Smithsonian Classic Country set with book by Bill Malone are examples I can see on the shelf right next to me.
	9:01pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @8:59 (from jamaican immigrants and jamaicans who just wanted to record away from the misogyny of rastafarianism...
	9:01pm Gary: NGH! That's true about Lovers Rock yeah
	9:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Uptown Top Ranking" by "Althea & Donna" of course, i have the original on vinyl!
	9:01pm Erik/VT: ↳ WR @8:31 Re Wyatt, indeed! -good catch. As a kid, I hadn’t yet been aware of Wyatt’s legacy career, & it was pretty bizarre finding out that my 1st intro to him was his stunningly emotional cover version take of Chic’s “At Last I Am Free”. Of course, it would be a few years before I would even know that & collect those great Chic albums. Of course, immediately beguiled by Wyatt - perused his entire career as fast as possible… Mind thoroughly Blown = Forever ♾️ 😃.
	9:03pm wimpy: I’d never really considered the fact that I’ve never heard a woman fronted reggae group before. Interesting considering from what I know of the origin of Rastafarianism a woman was pretty important to its development
	9:03pm Gary: Wimpy!
	9:04pm Dean: The Selecter doesn't count, wimpy?
	9:05pm wimpy: Gary! I’ve been listening the whole time but haven’t really had much to say. I also love liner notes! I’m always disappointed when a record I buy just has a white sleeve and that’s it
	9:05pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, thanks Gary!
	9:05pm Dean: And today we have Hollie Cook, amen.
	9:07pm northguineahills: ↳ wimpy @9:03 strict rastafarism is very mysoginist (and very anti-LTFBQ+, but since the 90s, it's started to become more flexible. /used to go to rastafarian dub parties in brooklyn in the 2000s. music and bud was crazy awesome...
	9:08pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:07 lo siento, wimpy, that comment was meant for the whole bodega community, not you specifically....
	9:08pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Girlie Girlie" by "Sophia George" Nice comp! nice Trojan!
	9:09pm Dean: I thought I had this comp, but no. I have this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/1383609-Various-Trojan-Reggae-Sisters-Box-Set
	9:11pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:09 That's a terrific comp tho
	9:11pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peoples...
	9:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:09 those trojan comps are bargain /used to get 3cd sets for $14....
	9:12pm Dean: (Slight on the liner notes.)
	9:12pm Gary: TomTwice!
	9:12pm tom tom the pipers son: hi gary...
	9:12pm wimpy: I actually haven’t heard of the selecter, guess I’m lacking on my 2 tone knowledge! And no worries ngh, I’m jealous of that latter part for sure!
	9:13pm peter: I love all those Trojan clamshell style comps.. I snatch one up whenever I see
	9:15pm Gary: ↳ peter @9:13 I think my fave is the "Rated X" comp -- which is kind of not actually really X rated
	9:18pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Gary @8:48 Yeah. They extract their pound of flesh.
	9:18pm peter: I think they have TWO x-rated ones.. if I remember correctly, one is more intense than the other haha
	9:19pm Dean: I have the Rated X one. Not as fun as Copulatin' Blues. I often wonder why I don't hear tracks from Chinga Chavin's Country Porn on WFMU. Seems like a natural for the station. Not a particularly good album, I know.
	9:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Lovin' You" by "Janet Kay & The Kaylettes" I have this on a soul jazz comp...
	9:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Hortense Ellis" and this comp comes up, lultz!
	9:22pm tom tom the pipers son: hey ngh....howyadoin....do you know any thing about speaker deck? easy to use?
	9:25pm Dean: Richard Strauss' Symphonia Domestica is a famously X-rated classical instrumental work. Go figure.
	9:25pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Melody Life" by "Marcia Griffiths" Such a voice, such words ...
	9:26pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:22 not yet!
	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:25 i have more classical recs going online soonish (I put the first batch via yer email last weekish)
	9:28pm Dean: Oh, shoot, yes, ngh! Thanks for the reminder. I'm also poised to start bidding for Marston Records on eBay. They have a few old issues up for grab$.
	9:29pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, does it have lyrics? Or is the action of the strings towards the trombones just highly suggestive?
	9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:26 ah that was a pregnant pause...thought you were looking it up. want to load a slideshow to my website...it's a sort of file converter...i need a keynote file in https to load on to site...
	9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:29 it's played withy a rusty trombone
	9:31pm Listener Gregory: @tom tom, I came home and found another viola kicking in my stall?
	9:32pm Dean: @LG, the latter, I think, as I have to confess that I don't hear Strauss's "van a'rockin'" when I listen. No lyrics, all symphonic instrumental.
	9:33pm Dean: Chicago Live was 4LPs, not then all that insane.
	9:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:31 hmmm...(???)
	9:35pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:29 who knocked you up? 😉
	9:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:35 hey...no fat jokes!!!!....; )
	9:39pm Erik/VT: - always had fun listening to many of the On-U-Sounds “Pay It All Back” compilations.
	9:41pm Dean: Here's the Strauss. Make sure the children leave the room. This will make Cardi B blush. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp7x6nx1j_A&t=1164s
	9:43pm Listener Gregory: @dean, there’s an avant-garde feminist composition from a few decades back that features a tape of what is clearly a woman uhhh… experiencing carnal pleasure shall we say. The liner notes describe this as, “this composition features the sounds of a woman’s breathing.” Maybe it could be performed with the Strauss piece.
	9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: wet ass waltz
	9:47pm Dean: I'm reminded, LG, of morning FM radio featuring pairs of barely talented DJs who yuck it up while enlisting listeners to call the station in flagrante delicto. It's funny once or twice and then just stupidly exploitative. Being of the tribe of Andrea Dworkin, whose absence I mourn if not daily, then weekly, I eschew pornography.
	9:51pm Listener Gregory: Symphonia Domestica killed my pappy and drove my mammy stone blind. True story.
	9:51pm chresti: Here We Go (Live at the Funhouse) by Run DMC (Rockit) ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫
	9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: What would andrea dworkin think of cardi b...?
	9:56pm Dean: I can't speak for her, of course, but I think she would admire her as much as I do. Cardi B is smart, talented, beautiful, brave, and in your face. I met Dworkin at the late lamented Sisterhood Bookstore in Westwood. One of the happiest days of my life.
	9:57pm Listener Gregory: Great concept for a show, Gary. Thanks for this.
	9:58pm Dean: I love the idea of a series of radio shows. Looking forward to the next installment.
	9:58pm Listener Gregory: @dean, I’m going to check out the Strauss.
	9:58pm Gary: wfmu.org...
	9:58pm Dean: No doubt, Sam Segal is cooking horse.
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks gary... cardi different than porno but the "how" it complex...maybe
	9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	9:59pm Dean: Not at all complex.
	10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	10:01pm WR: Thank you! Gary! We got a lot acCOMPlished today!
	10:07pm spodiodi: thank you, Gary!

Listener comments!
	7:01pm chresti: Hi Gary and bodega show!
	7:02pm peter: hey Gary & co.!
	7:03pm WR: The are many compilers, each language needs at least one. The output from the compilers is endless.
	7:05pm Gary: Chresti, Peter, and WR!
	7:06pm doctorjazz: Imagine me and you, I do, I think about you day and night, it's only right... (oh, wrong lyric). Hi Gary and shoppers!
	7:07pm Gary: Dr. Jazz!
	7:09pm spodiodi: Hi Gary! Hi poppers
	7:10pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:06 Hey, call me up—invest a dime!
	7:10pm Gary: Spodiodi!
	7:11pm Gary: Gregory!
	7:11pm Listener Gregory: I thought I was going out to get dinner, but I'm staying in instead, so your show has to be pretty nourishing, Gary.
	7:13pm mackeral: hey folks!
	7:13pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:11 It's filled with Vitamin B, Gregory. B for Boston
	7:13pm Gary: Mackeral!
	7:17pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	7:18pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @7:13 You're full of Beans today!
	7:19pm chresti: compilations are like the foundation of my music collection
	7:20pm Gary: ↳ chresti @7:19 They're a big part of my CD collection, but less so my records or tapes
	7:22pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @7:17 hi chresti!\\//
	7:27pm Listener Gregory: I think I own a compilation. Maybe.
	7:30pm chresti: ↳ spodiodi @7:22 looking at the postage stamp size version of your avatar, I see a friendly looking puppet- like Cecile
	7:33pm Listener Gregory: Gary, would you count historical collections as compilations? Like the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz or Yazoo albums of blues musicians/songsters from a particular location? In most cases, the artists would not have put out any albums.
	7:33pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 Yes! Absolutely
	7:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 Got a bunch of those (surprise).
	7:38pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:33 Smithsonian also put out collections of Big Band, Country Music, Singers.
	7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like legend is when LennyKaye conceived of Nuggets - it was 50% Smithsonian DNA ...& 50% cheapo Pop K-Tel comps sold on TV !... & don't forget Loss Leaders...
	7:42pm Listener Gregory: Yes, they do a great job.
	7:43pm Gary: RevRab!
	7:43pm Listener Gregory: I have the big band one, which I was surprised at how much I liked it.
	7:44pm doctorjazz: New World Records also put out quite a few nice anthologies, and they're we're a number of labels with great early African music. (Original Music was one).
	7:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:43 I also really got into that one!
	7:46pm mackeral: digging the whole spread here, Gary
	7:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:42 Yup, definitely can't forget Nuggets.
	7:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The like 7 platter Smithsonian History of Jazz certainly mattered for me ...I used to gather LPs & vinyl found - from the Library or other people - alphabetize by Artist - & throw it all together on Cassettes to keep it. Whatever it was.
	7:47pm WR: ↳ Gary @7:20 Speaking of CDs, used CDs are still a bargain. I'm unpacking a discogs purchase. 14 CDs, all but 3 are multi CD compilations. $20 for 25 CDs of ~45 minutes each of iconic recordings by jazz greats.
	7:48pm WR: ↳ Song: "Morning in China" by "Clä-Sick" A Japanese new wave compilation. mixmag.asia...
	7:49pm Gary: ↳ doctorjazz @7:44 I picked up a number of those Original Musics in the East Bay when I was hanging out with Tim Abdellah last year
	7:50pm mic_a: Hi, Gary & BPs. I'm usually only in the archived bodega, but here you are, and I am, and what an excellent topic. I'll just offer my usual personal nostalgia. My earliest vinyl comp: https://www.discogs.com/master/324215-Dick-Clark-20-Years-Of-Rock-N-Roll And the one that threw the biggest spin at my little head (looka that lineup!): https://www.discogs.com/master/332821-Various-V
	7:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:47 The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz was the "textbook" for a great jazz history class I took in college (taught by Chuck Israels, who played bass for Bill Evans, among other things. Though I had no idea he was anything special at the time. He did teach a great class, though, changed my listening).
	7:52pm Gary: Mic_a! My earliest comp was my first record purchase: American Graffiti soundtrack
	7:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:47 - so, Comps were beloved. & I let the alphabet do my sequencing...
	7:56pm WR: ↳ mic_a @7:50 Cool. Never has seen that Virgin comp, a mix of performers I know well and love and some new to me even now.
	7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @7:51 Fabulous job of starting with Africa & worksongs - on up thru Ornette & CecilTaylor.
	7:57pm TDK60: Hi Gary.
	7:57pm Gary: TDK60!
	7:58pm mic_a: If we allow cassette, I got Cruisin' 1961 even earlier: https://www.discogs.com/master/266890-Various-Cruisin-1961 50s nostalgia was a big thing in the early 70s.
	8:00pm Erik/VT: oh yea, forgot about that original 2xLp American Graffiti soundtrack - what a fun way to learn about the past as a 70s youth. 👏
	8:01pm Gary: Erik!
	8:01pm WR: Here is the the first comp that I picked out for myself: www.discogs.com... Got it when it was first released. I stole it from a department store at a mall in 1966.
	8:01pm mic_a: Yes, that "V" comp was an amazing guide.
	8:03pm Listener Gregory: Wilmington, Vermont.
	8:04pm mic_a: That KILT is a pretty amazing lineup too.
	8:08pm peter: sure you won't be surprised to hear that i'm absolutely mad for comps! especially for singles-based scenes (which so many are) or the like.. they're indispensable! i love a nicely thought-out full-album listen as well, but comps are almost always where i always start when checking out a new genre
	8:09pm Listener Gregory: There’s also a Wilmington, NC, but no one cares about that one.
	8:13pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:08 Peter, how would you go about a compilation drawn entirely from Thai cassettes?
	8:13pm mic_a: Must bow out now. Will catch the echoes in the archive. Thanks Gary, good nights everyone.
	8:13pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @8:13 Night, and nice to meet you here, mic_a!
	8:18pm Erik/VT: my 15/16 year old mindblower transition as a ‘wake-up-call comp’ was “Wanna Buy a Bridge” (1980) = UK bands get a significant domestic push - folks go bonkers over it. Followed by the life changing 2xLp comp: ‘Recommended Records Sampler’ (1982) = literally changed the way I perceived & pursued music ever since hearing it.🌟👏 🥳. Btw@Gary: absolutely loved those 1st 3 compilations you shared! 👏👏👏.
	8:22pm Gary: ↳ Erik/VT @8:18 That Wanna Buy a Bridge comp looks amazing
	8:23pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Good Vibes" by "Hot Soul Singers" A hammer, a hoo hoo!
	8:29pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:13 first step would be to find an audio engineer who specializes in mastering from cassette source haha.. well maybe second, if you count locating the rights-holders, and if you find them they might have access to the masters (but that's not really your question)
	8:30pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:29 No, that is not really my question, haha, but yeah, we don't tend to think of all of the extra groundwork that has to be done to pull one of these together
	8:30pm peter: but yeah, if i were actually making a compilation from cassette sources, i'd want to have a remastering job done that would justify people spending money instead of me sharing it for free online like i always do
	8:31pm WR: ↳ Erik/VT @8:18 Interesting random footnote to the two comps you got and the Virgin records V comp that mic_a got. Each one of the three has a track by Robert Wyatt.
	8:34pm headcleaner: Evening, peoples. Sorry to be late for class, but I had some business to conduct down at my ... bodega.
	8:35pm Gary: Headcleaner!
	8:43pm Listener Gregory: These cuts are so different from the South African side, much of which could have been from the US.
	8:43pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Don't You Know" by "Peter Abdul" Woo hoooooo! Hi Gary, hi All!
	8:44pm Gary: Marie! How goes?
	8:44pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:43 They share our pop bubblegum leanings
	8:47pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @8:43 Hey, pretty alright. I'm hating my job, but, hey, everything else is alright @) More fun and live music would help. How about you?
	8:47pm Dean: Somewhere along or beyond the spectrum "crass...to...preservation" we'll have to situate scholarship, namely, liner notes. The almost unique example that comes to mind is Graham Johnson's series on Hyperion of the complete Schubert lieder, coupled with an assortment of related works. These appeared from the '80s into the '00s, each with a CD booklet so fat that most wouldn't survive the jewel case. After its completion, Johnson published a book consisting of the compiled booklet texts. So, while not a vinyl release, it is a striking instance of liner note as a medium for scholarship.
	8:48pm Gary: ↳ Marie in Chicago @8:47 STRESSED b/c of work, but in most life matters, terrific
	8:49pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:47 Dean! I am a super-fan of liner notes and that sounds just amazing
	8:54pm northguineahills: Gary!
	8:56pm Dean: In law school--law school!--I took a course in Cal's notorious Rhetoric Dep't in which I wrote a paper about liner notes. My narrow subject was the notes accompanying recordings designed to reenact not just the music of a certain time and place, but particular historical events and circumstances.
	8:57pm Dean: "As Americans, we don't know what the fuck's going on." May I quote you?
	8:59pm northguineahills: the jamaican scene is very male dominated. but the British lovers rock scene is very female dominated....
	8:59pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Devon Jean" by "Ralph Johnson" Have this, cool set!
	8:59pm WR: ↳ Dean @8:47 Yes, there are several comps that I have bought mostly to get the "liner notes". A couple of them being precursors to books. Various compilations by Allen Lowe, Smithsonian Classic Country set with book by Bill Malone are examples I can see on the shelf right next to me.
	9:01pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @8:59 (from jamaican immigrants and jamaicans who just wanted to record away from the misogyny of rastafarianism...
	9:01pm Gary: NGH! That's true about Lovers Rock yeah
	9:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Uptown Top Ranking" by "Althea & Donna" of course, i have the original on vinyl!
	9:01pm Erik/VT: ↳ WR @8:31 Re Wyatt, indeed! -good catch. As a kid, I hadn’t yet been aware of Wyatt’s legacy career, & it was pretty bizarre finding out that my 1st intro to him was his stunningly emotional cover version take of Chic’s “At Last I Am Free”. Of course, it would be a few years before I would even know that & collect those great Chic albums. Of course, immediately beguiled by Wyatt - perused his entire career as fast as possible… Mind thoroughly Blown = Forever ♾️ 😃.
	9:03pm wimpy: I’d never really considered the fact that I’ve never heard a woman fronted reggae group before. Interesting considering from what I know of the origin of Rastafarianism a woman was pretty important to its development
	9:03pm Gary: Wimpy!
	9:04pm Dean: The Selecter doesn't count, wimpy?
	9:05pm wimpy: Gary! I’ve been listening the whole time but haven’t really had much to say. I also love liner notes! I’m always disappointed when a record I buy just has a white sleeve and that’s it
	9:05pm doctorjazz: Gotta run, thanks Gary!
	9:05pm Dean: And today we have Hollie Cook, amen.
	9:07pm northguineahills: ↳ wimpy @9:03 strict rastafarism is very mysoginist (and very anti-LTFBQ+, but since the 90s, it's started to become more flexible. /used to go to rastafarian dub parties in brooklyn in the 2000s. music and bud was crazy awesome...
	9:08pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:07 lo siento, wimpy, that comment was meant for the whole bodega community, not you specifically....
	9:08pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Girlie Girlie" by "Sophia George" Nice comp! nice Trojan!
	9:09pm Dean: I thought I had this comp, but no. I have this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/1383609-Various-Trojan-Reggae-Sisters-Box-Set
	9:11pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:09 That's a terrific comp tho
	9:11pm tom tom the pipers son: hello peoples...
	9:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:09 those trojan comps are bargain /used to get 3cd sets for $14....
	9:12pm Dean: (Slight on the liner notes.)
	9:12pm Gary: TomTwice!
	9:12pm tom tom the pipers son: hi gary...
	9:12pm wimpy: I actually haven’t heard of the selecter, guess I’m lacking on my 2 tone knowledge! And no worries ngh, I’m jealous of that latter part for sure!
	9:13pm peter: I love all those Trojan clamshell style comps.. I snatch one up whenever I see
	9:15pm Gary: ↳ peter @9:13 I think my fave is the "Rated X" comp -- which is kind of not actually really X rated
	9:18pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Gary @8:48 Yeah. They extract their pound of flesh.
	9:18pm peter: I think they have TWO x-rated ones.. if I remember correctly, one is more intense than the other haha
	9:19pm Dean: I have the Rated X one. Not as fun as Copulatin' Blues. I often wonder why I don't hear tracks from Chinga Chavin's Country Porn on WFMU. Seems like a natural for the station. Not a particularly good album, I know.
	9:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Lovin' You" by "Janet Kay & The Kaylettes" I have this on a soul jazz comp...
	9:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Can I Change My Mind" by "Hortense Ellis" and this comp comes up, lultz!
	9:22pm tom tom the pipers son: hey ngh....howyadoin....do you know any thing about speaker deck? easy to use?
	9:25pm Dean: Richard Strauss' Symphonia Domestica is a famously X-rated classical instrumental work. Go figure.
	9:25pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Melody Life" by "Marcia Griffiths" Such a voice, such words ...
	9:26pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:22 not yet!
	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:25 i have more classical recs going online soonish (I put the first batch via yer email last weekish)
	9:28pm Dean: Oh, shoot, yes, ngh! Thanks for the reminder. I'm also poised to start bidding for Marston Records on eBay. They have a few old issues up for grab$.
	9:29pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, does it have lyrics? Or is the action of the strings towards the trombones just highly suggestive?
	9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:26 ah that was a pregnant pause...thought you were looking it up. want to load a slideshow to my website...it's a sort of file converter...i need a keynote file in https to load on to site...
	9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:29 it's played withy a rusty trombone
	9:31pm Listener Gregory: @tom tom, I came home and found another viola kicking in my stall?
	9:32pm Dean: @LG, the latter, I think, as I have to confess that I don't hear Strauss's "van a'rockin'" when I listen. No lyrics, all symphonic instrumental.
	9:33pm Dean: Chicago Live was 4LPs, not then all that insane.
	9:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:31 hmmm...(???)
	9:35pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:29 who knocked you up? 😉
	9:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @9:35 hey...no fat jokes!!!!....; )
	9:39pm Erik/VT: - always had fun listening to many of the On-U-Sounds “Pay It All Back” compilations.
	9:41pm Dean: Here's the Strauss. Make sure the children leave the room. This will make Cardi B blush. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp7x6nx1j_A&t=1164s
	9:43pm Listener Gregory: @dean, there’s an avant-garde feminist composition from a few decades back that features a tape of what is clearly a woman uhhh… experiencing carnal pleasure shall we say. The liner notes describe this as, “this composition features the sounds of a woman’s breathing.” Maybe it could be performed with the Strauss piece.
	9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: wet ass waltz
	9:47pm Dean: I'm reminded, LG, of morning FM radio featuring pairs of barely talented DJs who yuck it up while enlisting listeners to call the station in flagrante delicto. It's funny once or twice and then just stupidly exploitative. Being of the tribe of Andrea Dworkin, whose absence I mourn if not daily, then weekly, I eschew pornography.
	9:51pm Listener Gregory: Symphonia Domestica killed my pappy and drove my mammy stone blind. True story.
	9:51pm chresti: Here We Go (Live at the Funhouse) by Run DMC (Rockit) ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫
	9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: What would andrea dworkin think of cardi b...?
	9:56pm Dean: I can't speak for her, of course, but I think she would admire her as much as I do. Cardi B is smart, talented, beautiful, brave, and in your face. I met Dworkin at the late lamented Sisterhood Bookstore in Westwood. One of the happiest days of my life.
	9:57pm Listener Gregory: Great concept for a show, Gary. Thanks for this.
	9:58pm Dean: I love the idea of a series of radio shows. Looking forward to the next installment.
	9:58pm Listener Gregory: @dean, I’m going to check out the Strauss.
	9:58pm Gary: wfmu.org...
	9:58pm Dean: No doubt, Sam Segal is cooking horse.
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks gary... cardi different than porno but the "how" it complex...maybe
	9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	9:59pm Dean: Not at all complex.
	10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	10:01pm WR: Thank you! Gary! We got a lot acCOMPlished today!
	10:07pm spodiodi: thank you, Gary!
