	12:21pm alanr: Buenas tardes, y´all-- in the midst of this crazy election and the country´s polarization, people from the entire social and political spectrum equally love the work of Quincy Jones, even if they don´t realize it.
	12:22pm Sylvia: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:17 thank you! us too, excited, nervous - that’s really the week for a lot of feelings already
	🥁 12:24pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	12:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:05 I don't know about blues, more like anxiety/panic (blues to come later if things go bad).
	12:30pm Irene Trudel: ↳ alanr @12:21 So true, alanr!

	12:34pm ?: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @12:33 Salutations S, M & S, hoping you have a fab time in New York
	12:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Wedding / Signal on the Hill" by "Abdullah Ib... The Wedding is one of my favorite Abdullah Ibrahim tunes (and I have many favorites of his). When he used to play it with the quartet with Carlos Ward, it could bring tears to the eyes...
	12:34pm alanr: btw....nice performance and interview with Amaro Freitas on the New Sounds podcast. Listened yesterday,
	🥁 12:36pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ @12:34 Sorry got logged out, Salutations S, M & S, hoping you have a fab time in New York
	12:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Wedding / Signal on the Hill" by "Abdullah Ib... This version is really nice as well...
	12:38pm Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:36 Thanks, Sean. it’s only me who arrived (from France), Michael is in New York all year long!
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Irene and all
	🥁 12:44pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:36 Thanks, Sean! Michael is always here but Sylvia just arrived on Saturday!
	12:50pm Irene Trudel: Hey there, Kevin-san and coelacanth∅!
	🥁 12:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Daughters" by "Aoife O'Donovan" What a track, thank you, Irene
	1:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Love" by "Robyn Hitchcock" hi all ...hitchcock here reminding me of lennon..."daydream(?)" song
	1:04pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:02 Wow, tom tom! I hadn't noticed that before. Lennon is certainly an influence on Robyn.
	1:05pm tom tom the pipers son: was thinking of #9 dream ...but maybe doesn't really sound like that
	1:05pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Love" by "Robyn Hitchcock" Somebody surely has noted the vocal similarity between Hitchcock and Al Stewart, at least in that track.
	1:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @1:05 funny... stewart scottish born...hitchcock born in london...so no regional similarities in accents
	1:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:56 Hi, Sean!
	1:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:08 hiya, chris!
	1:12pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:09 Hi there, doc!
	1:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:12 Hello Andrew! Did you get the latest Maxie update (I emailed you)?
	1:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:13 Yes, doc. Thanks!
	1:15pm tom tom the pipers son: @ irene...met with david (in london) last week this time, and mentioned that you were on air....threw in for a loop because he associates your show with late afternoon... unfortunately was not feeling all that well for meet up but made it through a 3 hour coffee klache...
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fez Up" by "Guy Klucevsek & Volker Goetze" You likely mentioned this (or will on the next break), but Klucevsek is at Roulette in Brooklyn this Wednesday-kicking around going to it...(I'm a big fan)
	1:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:15 threw him for a loop
	1:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:15 Met DiL at the Record Fair this past Friday (he was working, so it was short, but nice to put a face to the name).
	1:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @1:18 real self is consistent with online self...very warm fellow
	1:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:04 Michael Hurley is greatness!
	1:29pm Peter K.: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:28 He sure is.
	1:29pm wimpy: I should check out the rest of Hurley’s stuff, I’ve only heard him through have moicy! but it’s really good stuff on there
	1:30pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:15 Sorry I missed DiL (and the record fair)! I was out of town for my nephew's wedding.
	1:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:30 Here`s Michael`s bandcamp page: michaelhurley.bandcamp.com
	1:31pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:15 I certainly did, doctorjazz. Unfortunately I can't make the show.
	1:32pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Andrew! wimpy, you do need to to have more Michael in your life! I love his songs and vibe.
	1:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Slurf Song" by "The Unholy Modal Rounders" Another old favorite, the Rounders (Holy or Unholy)!
	1:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ doctorjazz @1:33 It was Peter Stampfel's birthday last week !
	1:36pm wimpy: This song is a thanksgiving mainstay in my house
	1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:34 Happy 86 to Peter Stampfel! (got to see him once, fun show)
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:37 Yes!
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Free Four" by "Pink Floyd" remastered, and a tiny bit faster
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:37 You need to ead this, doc: www.nytimes.com...
	1:41pm Irene Trudel: ↳ wimpy @1:36 Slurf Song is a great tune!
	1:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:34 Nice to meet you Friday, Webhamster!
	1:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 malalo, coel!
	1:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Free Four" by "Pink Floyd" never heard, is this considered an 'oddity"
	1:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:40 Thanks Andrew-I saw it (but working today, didn't have time to read it yet).
	1:42pm Webhamster Henry: I got this Firesign collection the second it appeared on Bandcamp...
	1:42pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:41 I understand.
	1:42pm Irene Trudel: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 I thought so. It's from a CD reissue on Pink Floyd's own label. It might've gotten slowed down for the original LP.
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:41 Aloha Andrew!
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:42 it still sounds great! - just threw me off for a second, thought it might be an extremely close cover
	1:45pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:42 There are SO many great bits in that collection! Just grabbing a few choice tidbits in honor of tomorrow's electiondoublespeak.
	1:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Trust" by "Richard Thompson" Was going to clicky-star this, but I already did...
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:45 Here is Peter`s bandcamp page: peterstampfel.bandcamp.com...
	1:55pm tom tom the pipers son: i read "free four" was actually released as a single in the u.s. but did not chart...apparently a dark and cynical song lyrically
	1:58pm coelacanth∅: Irene, here's a seemingly random question! - related to your comments on "free four", and since you know a lot about sound... do you think Robert Johnson's original recordings were sped up for the 78s?
	2:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Leadfoot" by "Väsen & Hawktail" Like this!
	2:02pm judy from croton: Omg just saw Vasen in tiny Brooksville Maine in September! Thx Irene!
	2:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:58 According to this NPR article, (and others), they were indeed sped up. www.npr.org...
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:58 (or, rather, the cutting was done at a slower speed to make the final product sped-up)
	2:04pm Irene Trudel: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:58 coel, I honestly don't know the answer to that one. I do own the CD box set reissue but haven't listened that closely. I would think that's the definitive version, but there have been cases--Miles Davis' Kind of Blue comes to mind-- where they discovered the original had been sped up. But I don't know about the Johnson recordings.
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:02 oh, Thanks dr.J! i'll read that later. last i knew, there was no absolute conclusion.
	2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:04 And some excerpts of Johnson tracks at slower speed. www.touched.co.uk...
	2:05pm Irene Trudel: ↳ judy from croton @2:02 You're welcome, judy! Haven't seen them play live yet.
	2:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sisters" by "Yasmin Williams" Tix are on sale for, I believe it's Feb 8 at Le Poisson Rouge (would like to go, may have some stuff going on that day...) Heard her first here!
	2:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:04 i know they've done it a lot more recently...Billy Joel for instants. but Johnson's voice sounds so great they way i'm used to it; i don't want it to be true!
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:05 i have to check that out later, with a better internet connection. i have heard some slowed-down versions before, but i wasn't convinced.
	2:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:07 I listened to one of the snippets on that slowed-down website, it still sounds like Robert Johnson, 20% slower or not.
	2:08pm Will in Norman: recording engineers during the 78 era didn't always have ways of measuring the speed of their equipment accurately, especially in the earlier decades. So it's not unusual for '78s' to not be recorded at exactly 78 rpm. in fact, the playback speed of records wasn't really standardized until sometime in the 20s, but most companies recorded within the ballpark of 60~90 rpm before then. on top of that, a lot of engineers would slow down the equipment on purpose to save space or to make the musician's playing sound more fast & impressive when played back at 78
	🥁 2:09pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:11 hiya, Andrew!
	2:10pm Will in Norman: that's why it's always best to use a turntable with pitch adjust when playing 78s
	2:12pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Will in Norman @2:08 Thats true! I wonder if there were "test tone" 78s (or 80s or whatever speed was preferred) so people could check pitch with a tuning fork?
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:08 right, true... and i don't really like the title of that article! -"all wrong"! it's creative license. ...i mean, are we supposed to break down strawberry fields forever into the different parts, which were not all recorded in the same key exactly, or at the same speed?!
	2:13pm Will in Norman: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:12 there were test tone records during those days, not very easy to find though
	2:13pm Webhamster Henry: If you have a good tuner (or tuning app) and you know the song is in "G" or whatever, and your turntable has a sped adjustment, you can check it that way.
	2:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Will in Norman @2:10 i only wish i still had a 78 turntable
	2:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:13 Assuming Johnson's guitar was perfectly tuned to standard C (no reason he couldn't be tuned a bit higher or lower if he wanted to).
	2:15pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:13 I have a victrola and bought some shellacs (™people who say "vinyls") a the Rec Fair.
	2:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:12 I agree, though I suspect it's just a headline to catch the eye.
	2:16pm doctorjazz: Always wanted a 78 RPM turntable (and a reel-to- reel player, for that matter), but held off, more rabbit holes to fall into...
	2:18pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ doctorjazz @2:14 that is true . The trick is to make sure his voice isn't pitched too high or low, so for that, you'd need to analyze a corpus of his singing to see where his vowel formants are, then compensate those where his voice is not pitched correctly.
	2:19pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:18 I'm a bit of a tech here.
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:15 damn...now we have to be okay with people saying "vinyls"! ...as long as they "styrenes" as indicated!
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:15 it's indeed catchy!
	2:23pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:19 I also have a 78-able "modern" turntable of extremely low quality.
	2:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chant" by "Dave Holland & Lionel Loueke" I like this-pre order, not yet out, seems. daveholland.bandcamp.com...
	🥁 2:24pm Malcontent: Irene, your show today is such a welcome balm at the end of an anxiety-ridden campaign. Now I need to learn more about Lionel Loueke...
	2:28pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Will in Norman @2:08 Will, I've definitely heard that. Mac, who used to air the Antique Phonograph Record Program used to try out the discs to see what the optimal speed should be. In more modern times, I heard some discs were mastered at lower levels so the grooves weren't as wide to increase the playing time.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Nicely reharmonized! (great guitars, Irene!)
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:23 with a cartridge that flips over?! .
	2:30pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Malcontent @2:24 I'm glad of that, Malcontent. I'm also a big fan of Lionel Loueke. He has many albums of his own, and has played with Herbie Hancock and many others. Lovely music!
	2:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:28 The opposite is done to get more bass (on, say 12 inch disco singles), wider spacing between the grooves lets more bass get captured (but does result in shorter playing time).
	2:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Where or When" by "Ben Monder" Can he really do this without overdubbing? I'm beginning to suspect there is some...
	🥁 2:37pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Highway One Just South of Bixby Canyon" by "Bipol... ooo, BPX! nice. :)
	🥁 2:38pm chris in the redwoods: coming out of that Monder track was also classic Trudel perfection. :)
	2:39pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @2:34 Yes he can! Ben played on my show a few times in the distant past, so I know he can do it. I believe it's all him playing in one sitting on this track.
	2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:39 That's pretty amazing!
	2:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:45 What an excellent show! Thanks, Irene!
	🥁 2:50pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Song: "Highway One Just South of Bixby Canyon" by "Bipol... Thank you!
	2:50pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks irene...
	🥁 2:53pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ chris in the redwoods @2:37 Thank you, Chris!
	2:53pm Irene Trudel: It's been great hanging with you all this afternoon, but I must make way for Wendy del Formaggio's Wreck Your Own Adventure, up next: wfmu.org...
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Great show (and slow office day here, actually got to hear much of it; of course, that means you have to bear with more of my posting 😁 )
	🥁 2:58pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Irene. take good care, folks. we'll get through this! :)
	2:58pm luka: thanks, Irene!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Irene!
	🥁 2:59pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Thank you!
	3:08pm Irene Trudel: Almost forgot-- here's info on the Brooklyn Folk Festival next weekend: www.brooklynfolkfest.com

	12:16pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:13 Yes indeed, WHenry!
	12:17pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Sylvia @12:14 Welcome to NYC, Sylvia! I look forward to seeing you and Michael later this week.
	12:21pm alanr: Buenas tardes, y´all-- in the midst of this crazy election and the country´s polarization, people from the entire social and political spectrum equally love the work of Quincy Jones, even if they don´t realize it.
	12:22pm Sylvia: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:17 thank you! us too, excited, nervous - that’s really the week for a lot of feelings already
	🥁 12:24pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Irene!
	12:28pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:05 I don't know about blues, more like anxiety/panic (blues to come later if things go bad).
	12:30pm Irene Trudel: ↳ alanr @12:21 So true, alanr!
	12:31pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @12:24 G'day, S&M&S! Looking forward to our session, and I got the new CD, which may show up a bit later.
	🥁 12:33pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Irene Trudel @12:31 Great! Looking forward, too! Thank you! 💕🙏🎧
	🥁 12:34pm Kevin-san: G'day all! Just back from the dentist, and boy are my teeth shiny! Fingers crossed I'll be smiling later this week :D
	12:34pm ?: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @12:33 Salutations S, M & S, hoping you have a fab time in New York
	12:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Wedding / Signal on the Hill" by "Abdullah Ib... The Wedding is one of my favorite Abdullah Ibrahim tunes (and I have many favorites of his). When he used to play it with the quartet with Carlos Ward, it could bring tears to the eyes...
	12:34pm alanr: btw....nice performance and interview with Amaro Freitas on the New Sounds podcast. Listened yesterday,
	🥁 12:36pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ @12:34 Sorry got logged out, Salutations S, M & S, hoping you have a fab time in New York
	12:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "The Wedding / Signal on the Hill" by "Abdullah Ib... This version is really nice as well...
	12:38pm Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:36 Thanks, Sean. it’s only me who arrived (from France), Michael is in New York all year long!
	12:40pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Irene and all
	🥁 12:44pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:36 Thanks, Sean! Michael is always here but Sylvia just arrived on Saturday!
	12:50pm Irene Trudel: Hey there, Kevin-san and coelacanth∅!
	🥁 12:56pm Sean in Bristol UK: ↳ Song: "Daughters" by "Aoife O'Donovan" What a track, thank you, Irene
	1:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Love" by "Robyn Hitchcock" hi all ...hitchcock here reminding me of lennon..."daydream(?)" song
	1:04pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:02 Wow, tom tom! I hadn't noticed that before. Lennon is certainly an influence on Robyn.
	1:05pm tom tom the pipers son: was thinking of #9 dream ...but maybe doesn't really sound like that
	1:05pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Love" by "Robyn Hitchcock" Somebody surely has noted the vocal similarity between Hitchcock and Al Stewart, at least in that track.
	1:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @1:05 funny... stewart scottish born...hitchcock born in london...so no regional similarities in accents
	1:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sean in Bristol UK @12:56 Hi, Sean!
	1:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:08 hiya, chris!
	1:12pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @12:09 Hi there, doc!
	1:13pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:12 Hello Andrew! Did you get the latest Maxie update (I emailed you)?
	1:14pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:13 Yes, doc. Thanks!
	1:15pm tom tom the pipers son: @ irene...met with david (in london) last week this time, and mentioned that you were on air....threw in for a loop because he associates your show with late afternoon... unfortunately was not feeling all that well for meet up but made it through a 3 hour coffee klache...
	1:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fez Up" by "Guy Klucevsek & Volker Goetze" You likely mentioned this (or will on the next break), but Klucevsek is at Roulette in Brooklyn this Wednesday-kicking around going to it...(I'm a big fan)
	1:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:15 threw him for a loop
	1:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:15 Met DiL at the Record Fair this past Friday (he was working, so it was short, but nice to put a face to the name).
	1:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @1:18 real self is consistent with online self...very warm fellow
	1:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:04 Michael Hurley is greatness!
	1:29pm Peter K.: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:28 He sure is.
	1:29pm wimpy: I should check out the rest of Hurley’s stuff, I’ve only heard him through have moicy! but it’s really good stuff on there
	1:30pm Irene Trudel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @1:15 Sorry I missed DiL (and the record fair)! I was out of town for my nephew's wedding.
	1:30pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:30 Here`s Michael`s bandcamp page: michaelhurley.bandcamp.com
	1:31pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @1:15 I certainly did, doctorjazz. Unfortunately I can't make the show.
	1:32pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Andrew! wimpy, you do need to to have more Michael in your life! I love his songs and vibe.
	1:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Slurf Song" by "The Unholy Modal Rounders" Another old favorite, the Rounders (Holy or Unholy)!
	1:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ doctorjazz @1:33 It was Peter Stampfel's birthday last week !
	1:36pm wimpy: This song is a thanksgiving mainstay in my house
	1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:34 Happy 86 to Peter Stampfel! (got to see him once, fun show)
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:37 Yes!
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Free Four" by "Pink Floyd" remastered, and a tiny bit faster
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:37 You need to ead this, doc: www.nytimes.com...
	1:41pm Irene Trudel: ↳ wimpy @1:36 Slurf Song is a great tune!
	1:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:34 Nice to meet you Friday, Webhamster!
	1:41pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 malalo, coel!
	1:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Free Four" by "Pink Floyd" never heard, is this considered an 'oddity"
	1:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:40 Thanks Andrew-I saw it (but working today, didn't have time to read it yet).
	1:42pm Webhamster Henry: I got this Firesign collection the second it appeared on Bandcamp...
	1:42pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ doctorjazz @1:41 I understand.
	1:42pm Irene Trudel: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:40 I thought so. It's from a CD reissue on Pink Floyd's own label. It might've gotten slowed down for the original LP.
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:41 Aloha Andrew!
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:42 it still sounds great! - just threw me off for a second, thought it might be an extremely close cover
	1:45pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:42 There are SO many great bits in that collection! Just grabbing a few choice tidbits in honor of tomorrow's electiondoublespeak.
	1:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Trust" by "Richard Thompson" Was going to clicky-star this, but I already did...
	1:53pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:45 Here is Peter`s bandcamp page: peterstampfel.bandcamp.com...
	1:55pm tom tom the pipers son: i read "free four" was actually released as a single in the u.s. but did not chart...apparently a dark and cynical song lyrically
	1:58pm coelacanth∅: Irene, here's a seemingly random question! - related to your comments on "free four", and since you know a lot about sound... do you think Robert Johnson's original recordings were sped up for the 78s?
	2:00pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Leadfoot" by "Väsen & Hawktail" Like this!
	2:02pm judy from croton: Omg just saw Vasen in tiny Brooksville Maine in September! Thx Irene!
	2:02pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:58 According to this NPR article, (and others), they were indeed sped up. www.npr.org...
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:58 (or, rather, the cutting was done at a slower speed to make the final product sped-up)
	2:04pm Irene Trudel: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:58 coel, I honestly don't know the answer to that one. I do own the CD box set reissue but haven't listened that closely. I would think that's the definitive version, but there have been cases--Miles Davis' Kind of Blue comes to mind-- where they discovered the original had been sped up. But I don't know about the Johnson recordings.
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:02 oh, Thanks dr.J! i'll read that later. last i knew, there was no absolute conclusion.
	2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:04 And some excerpts of Johnson tracks at slower speed. www.touched.co.uk...
	2:05pm Irene Trudel: ↳ judy from croton @2:02 You're welcome, judy! Haven't seen them play live yet.
	2:06pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Sisters" by "Yasmin Williams" Tix are on sale for, I believe it's Feb 8 at Le Poisson Rouge (would like to go, may have some stuff going on that day...) Heard her first here!
	2:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:04 i know they've done it a lot more recently...Billy Joel for instants. but Johnson's voice sounds so great they way i'm used to it; i don't want it to be true!
	2:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:05 i have to check that out later, with a better internet connection. i have heard some slowed-down versions before, but i wasn't convinced.
	2:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:07 I listened to one of the snippets on that slowed-down website, it still sounds like Robert Johnson, 20% slower or not.
	2:08pm Will in Norman: recording engineers during the 78 era didn't always have ways of measuring the speed of their equipment accurately, especially in the earlier decades. So it's not unusual for '78s' to not be recorded at exactly 78 rpm. in fact, the playback speed of records wasn't really standardized until sometime in the 20s, but most companies recorded within the ballpark of 60~90 rpm before then. on top of that, a lot of engineers would slow down the equipment on purpose to save space or to make the musician's playing sound more fast & impressive when played back at 78
	🥁 2:09pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:11 hiya, Andrew!
	2:10pm Will in Norman: that's why it's always best to use a turntable with pitch adjust when playing 78s
	2:12pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Will in Norman @2:08 Thats true! I wonder if there were "test tone" 78s (or 80s or whatever speed was preferred) so people could check pitch with a tuning fork?
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:08 right, true... and i don't really like the title of that article! -"all wrong"! it's creative license. ...i mean, are we supposed to break down strawberry fields forever into the different parts, which were not all recorded in the same key exactly, or at the same speed?!
	2:13pm Will in Norman: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:12 there were test tone records during those days, not very easy to find though
	2:13pm Webhamster Henry: If you have a good tuner (or tuning app) and you know the song is in "G" or whatever, and your turntable has a sped adjustment, you can check it that way.
	2:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Will in Norman @2:10 i only wish i still had a 78 turntable
	2:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:13 Assuming Johnson's guitar was perfectly tuned to standard C (no reason he couldn't be tuned a bit higher or lower if he wanted to).
	2:15pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:13 I have a victrola and bought some shellacs (™people who say "vinyls") a the Rec Fair.
	2:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:12 I agree, though I suspect it's just a headline to catch the eye.
	2:16pm doctorjazz: Always wanted a 78 RPM turntable (and a reel-to- reel player, for that matter), but held off, more rabbit holes to fall into...
	2:18pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ doctorjazz @2:14 that is true . The trick is to make sure his voice isn't pitched too high or low, so for that, you'd need to analyze a corpus of his singing to see where his vowel formants are, then compensate those where his voice is not pitched correctly.
	2:19pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:18 I'm a bit of a tech here.
	2:19pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:15 damn...now we have to be okay with people saying "vinyls"! ...as long as they "styrenes" as indicated!
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ doctorjazz @2:15 it's indeed catchy!
	2:23pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:19 I also have a 78-able "modern" turntable of extremely low quality.
	2:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Chant" by "Dave Holland & Lionel Loueke" I like this-pre order, not yet out, seems. daveholland.bandcamp.com...
	🥁 2:24pm Malcontent: Irene, your show today is such a welcome balm at the end of an anxiety-ridden campaign. Now I need to learn more about Lionel Loueke...
	2:28pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Will in Norman @2:08 Will, I've definitely heard that. Mac, who used to air the Antique Phonograph Record Program used to try out the discs to see what the optimal speed should be. In more modern times, I heard some discs were mastered at lower levels so the grooves weren't as wide to increase the playing time.
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Nicely reharmonized! (great guitars, Irene!)
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:23 with a cartridge that flips over?! .
	2:30pm Irene Trudel: ↳ Malcontent @2:24 I'm glad of that, Malcontent. I'm also a big fan of Lionel Loueke. He has many albums of his own, and has played with Herbie Hancock and many others. Lovely music!
	2:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:28 The opposite is done to get more bass (on, say 12 inch disco singles), wider spacing between the grooves lets more bass get captured (but does result in shorter playing time).
	2:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Where or When" by "Ben Monder" Can he really do this without overdubbing? I'm beginning to suspect there is some...
	🥁 2:37pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Highway One Just South of Bixby Canyon" by "Bipol... ooo, BPX! nice. :)
	🥁 2:38pm chris in the redwoods: coming out of that Monder track was also classic Trudel perfection. :)
	2:39pm Irene Trudel: ↳ doctorjazz @2:34 Yes he can! Ben played on my show a few times in the distant past, so I know he can do it. I believe it's all him playing in one sitting on this track.
	2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Irene Trudel @2:39 That's pretty amazing!
	2:48pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Irene Trudel @1:45 What an excellent show! Thanks, Irene!
	🥁 2:50pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ Song: "Highway One Just South of Bixby Canyon" by "Bipol... Thank you!
	2:50pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks irene...
	🥁 2:53pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ chris in the redwoods @2:37 Thank you, Chris!
	2:53pm Irene Trudel: It's been great hanging with you all this afternoon, but I must make way for Wendy del Formaggio's Wreck Your Own Adventure, up next: wfmu.org...
	2:54pm doctorjazz: Great show (and slow office day here, actually got to hear much of it; of course, that means you have to bear with more of my posting 😁 )
	🥁 2:58pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Irene. take good care, folks. we'll get through this! :)
	2:58pm luka: thanks, Irene!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Irene!
	🥁 2:59pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Thank you!
	3:08pm Irene Trudel: Almost forgot-- here's info on the Brooklyn Folk Festival next weekend: www.brooklynfolkfest.com
