	1:35pm chinn: Total chaos today, but I, for one, am having a lovely time.

	1:36pm Dan S: Coming to WFMU now: A Jim the Poet mini-marathon!

	1:40pm Strandlund: Jim The Poet...the MVP of WFMU!!
	1:41pm Fishman: Great tuneage.
	1:41pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Feed the Tree" by "Belly" That tree is getting hungry for me. Be patient, tree, I'll be there for you soon.
	1:41pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Feed the Tree" by "Belly" Is it wrong to say that I've always found this to be an annoying bandname? Hi Jim, hi everyone!
	1:42pm Dan S: ↳ Strandlund @1:40 A great utility in/outfielder.
	1:42pm common: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:41 nope!
	1:42pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Feed the Tree" by "Belly" I wasn't aware there was a fade-out version of this.
	1:46pm Savage in Brooklyn: Dynamite start to the show!
	1:47pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ common @1:42 Hey!. I was thinking other bandnames along those lines might be Forearm, Underarm, Nape, Crotch...
	1:47pm common: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:47 heeeee
	1:48pm DjLorraine: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:41 I agree. One of the only band names i feel odd about.
	1:48pm common: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:47 nape!
	1:49pm Hunterian: ↳ common @1:48 Yeah, Nape would be cool
	1:51pm Dan S: Instead of Belly, how about Torso?
	1:51pm Kat in the chat: Oh, okay, Boxing Day. That took me longer than it should have.
	1:52pm chresti: Hieeeee!
	1:52pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "For Ex-Lovers Only" by "Black Tambourine" Love the BT's
	1:53pm Dan S: ↳ Kat in the chat @1:51 Oh, yeah, Happy Boxing Day to everyone! I say that even though I'm not British and have only a vague idea what that holiday is for.
	1:54pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Mosquito" by "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" A mosquito gave dr fauci west nile virus and it was the most terrified he's been for his own health. He helped millions of people but not ME, lyme and long covid. I wish him and other researchers well.
	1:55pm common: ↳ Hunterian @1:49 marie has to start that band!
	1:56pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Shake the Dope Out" by "Warlocks" Dang I thought I clickystarred this already
	1:56pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dan S @1:53 I'm not sure either
	1:57pm DjLorraine: ↳ Dan S @1:36 I'm wearing my FeeLings shirt ;)
	1:58pm Kat in the chat: Jim starting off with a set of bangers
	1:59pm Handy Haversack: Jim. Poetasters. Checking in before we head off to see Nosferatu. I think we might take the ferry to the theater.
	1:59pm Gerry from Miami: One of Robyn Hitchcock and the Soft Boys' best tunes! Love the group harmony!
	2:00pm P.Welles: killer set! memory lanes!
	2:00pm Jim the Poet: I'm going to go to Nosferatu tonight too if I ever get off the radio
	2:00pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:59 I got K8 sitting next to me adding more harmony on top!
	2:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:00 Nice! We're going to Nitehawk in Wburg.
	2:01pm DjLorraine: NAPE is a band from Tokyo Japan!
	2:01pm luka: hey wow it’s Jim
	🌮 2:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:00 Can somebody livestream the movie to Jim's phone so he doesn't have to leave the studio?
	2:02pm Dan S: ↳ DjLorraine @1:57 OK. Are you expecting Michele to make a surprise appearance today? It's not gonna happen.
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:01 I assume I can. It's dial 0 for livestream, right?
	2:03pm Fishman: Dude, I have been listening about 18 hours a day for the last week. You’re doing an excellent job. Cheers.
	2:03pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Wet Dream" by "Wet Leg" So much Wet!
	2:04pm Adi From Sheffield: Good evening.
	2:04pm DjLorraine: ↳ Dan S @2:02 No, i just felt a connection with you because you also have the shirt.
	2:04pm Hunterian: ↳ DjLorraine @2:01 Looks like there was a German NAPE as well
	2:04pm he's Crafty: ↳ Song: "Wet Dream" by "Wet Leg" Wetter the better
	2:04pm Layet J: Jim, if this is your new year's set, it's making me hype! Love it!
	2:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Roberto @2:03 Just think of it as Leg Dream.
	2:07pm luka: ↳ Song: "Love Spreads" by "The Stone Roses" WHERE’S ME BUCKET HAT
	2:07pm Dan S: JtP can be a Pseu, a Fabio, or whatever is needed. A true utility player.
	2:08pm Fishman: ↳ Song: "Jane of the Waking Universe" by "Guided By Voices" OMG! Love these guys
	2:09pm Ryan Sterlingvirtue: when jim plays pop there is no one better.
	2:09pm DjLorraine: ↳ Hunterian @2:04 Excellent research there in your neck of the woods (or Nape ;)
	2:10pm dreamyandseedy: hello hello! i'm here just in time
	2:10pm Fishman: ↳ Song: "Love Spreads" by "The Stone Roses" The Stone Roses kick ass!
	2:11pm Dan S: ↳ DjLorraine @2:04 Thanks. I was just kidding you before. I appreciate the connection. The next time Michele is on, I'll try to remember to change my avatar to the photo of me wearing the Feelings t-shirt. It doesn't seem right to present myself wearing it for someone else's show. :-)
	2:13pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." YASsss
	2:13pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." #1!
	2:14pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." Feel like I could turn this up a bit louder
	2:14pm Deano de los Muertos: well, if it isn’t Micah’s sidekick! (It isn’t)
	2:14pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." Power chords for the ages.
	2:15pm Roberto: ↳ Karl @2:14 I need a speaker that goes to 11.
	2:16pm DjLorraine: ↳ Karl @2:14 When i saw D Jr in Ft Lauderdale it was loud.
	2:16pm Fishman: Holy 90’s flashback Batman! lol man, oh man. Am I dating myself with that expression. 😆
	2:16pm Karl: ↳ DjLorraine @2:16 When I saw Dinosaur Jr. in Asbury Park it was loud
	2:17pm sgillies: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." My generation had the best music. Two guitar solos per song!
	2:18pm Andres: When I saw Dinosaur Jr at Lollapalooza it could’ve been louder.
	2:18pm Dan S: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @2:14 I only caught the beginning of 7SD yesterday. Did JtP or a caller find a way to "ungrinchify" Micah? It sounded like a lost cause to me.
	2:18pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." woo hoo!
	2:19pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" Oh this is a good call. ❤️
	2:19pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" Dancefloor filler!
	2:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dan S @2:18 He cheered up momentarily when a caller compared him to Paris Hilton, and when he talked to a nine-year-old. But that was about it.
	2:20pm Hunterian: ↳ DjLorraine @2:09 Ha! Nichts zu danken, bloß ein Nacken…
	2:21pm Dan S: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:19 Not to put you too much on the spot, but as you are from Sheffield, would you like to explain or comment on Boxing Day to us here?
	2:21pm chresti: On the way back from tjs the news on the radio was that a severed leg was found on the beach (somewhere in south LA county)
	2:21pm Dan S: ↳ Kat in the chat @2:20 Call it a small victory.
	2:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @2:21 So there's a good chance it was wet! Coincidence?!
	2:23pm Jim the Poet: do I need an alibi
	2:24pm Dan S: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:23 You have the right to remain silent, etc.
	2:24pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Dan S @2:21 Something to do with wealthy families giving the serving classes boxes of gifts the day after Christmas as I understand it. How accurate that is I don't know. 😄
	2:24pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" Brown sugar cubes - I see!
	2:26pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" There was a version of this done by The Jesus and Mary Chain called "Christmas" if memory serves.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: Off to the movies. Thanks, Jim!
	2:27pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Pantyhose" by "TV Girl" French Exit = leaving the party without thanking the hosts for the hospitality?
	2:27pm tom tom the pipers son: @ jim the poet.... i see your earning your money today and not playing 45 minute tracks so you can hedge fund or play the ponies or however your usual modus operandi works....
	2:28pm Jim the Poet: Don't get bit
	2:29pm Re6ecca: Jim, playing hit after hit!!! <3
	2:31pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Your Favorite Thing" by "Sugar" I want a whole lotta lumps
	2:31pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @2:22 *I'm a wet leg, a wet wet leg..."
	2:32pm SecretSquirrel: Speaking of Sugar, my ear candy cornucopia is overflowing! Loving everything you’re playing today👂🏼🍭 ❤️
	2:32pm Adi From Sheffield: Fox was my gateway on to WFMU. I hope she has a great birthday. I enjoyed her show immensely.
	2:33pm Dan S: ↳ SecretSquirrel @2:32 Concur!
	2:38pm Dan S: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:32 "Who was your gateway DJ" would be an excellent question to ask at any gathering of WFMU listeners.
	🌮 2:40pm zachary: ↳ DjLorraine @1:35 Agreed. I haven't either. We just returned from a walk. Did Jim mention anything, do you know?
	2:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @2:31 in a doc about ex nuns, one tells a story about a mother superior who tells a group of young nuns that if a man attempts to rape you, say "no stop, cut off my leg instead" the nuns would joke among themselves and say "ouch my leg" are there any convents close to the ocean by you?
	2:40pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Dan S @2:38 It would. I'm looking for others locally. 😄
	2:41pm spodiodi: greetings, Jim the Poet and all
	2:41pm Jim the Poet: I like nuns
	2:42pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:41 I recommend the band Wet Nuns
	2:42pm tom tom the pipers son: i like ex nuns
	2:42pm Hunterian: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:32 I remember that you were one of the folks on Fox's chat board for whom hers was a morning show—ah, those were the days/nights…
	2:44pm Dan S: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:41 Take the 5th, Jim, before you incriminate yourself. :-)
	2:44pm Jim the Poet: My lawyer is also a nun
	2:44pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Hunterian @2:42 She was my breakfast show, loved the old radio plays she used to curate and her knowledge of British science fiction is first rate 😄
	2:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:44 i hear she charges an arm AND a leg
	2:46pm DjLorraine: ↳ zachary @2:40 Not on this show. But i'm waiting for the "stone er status"
	2:47pm chresti: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:42 Ha!
	2:48pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ chresti @2:47 They were a fantastic live band. They also had a side project called "Pamela Handerson"
	2:48pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:44 that's all i need to hear! gonna do a lil archive hunt
	2:49pm Dan S: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:44 Good. She can always appeal to a higher court.
	2:51pm Kat in the chat: P Y L O N
	2:51pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ dreamyandseedy @2:48 She was big on the obscure sci fi. Although I get the impression WFMU listeners as a whole dig a little deeper than most folks. 😁
	2:51pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "Crazy" by "Pylon" blog.wfmu.org...
	2:51pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Kat in the chat @2:51 I was hoping you'd clicky star that
	2:52pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ DjLorraine @2:46 What’s ailing him? If it’s common knowledge, that is
	2:53pm tonyb: Reading the recent REM bio. Happily covers the early days of Pylon in Athens, GA.
	2:53pm Kat in the chat: I’m on the app at the moment Jim, might’ve been starred already :)
	2:55pm Karl: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:51 I talked with Fox for quite a while at Marathon and I'm not sure there is anything out there she's not familiar with. Seriously sharp.
	🌮 2:56pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Jim and all!! In it for the long haul
	2:58pm alanSixº: hi kids, oh ya know, giant kidney stone just stuck in my ureter probly not moving until another procedure on jan 3
	2:58pm alanSixº: i tried to push it out live on the air to no avail for the love of radio but maybe NYE!
	2:59pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Karl @2:55 I look forward to her eventually return. 👍
	2:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 sorry to hear alan...hope it goes ok...the procedure
	2:59pm alanSixº: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:59 🤘🏼
	3:00pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Ah, fuck. Speedy recovery and all that. 🙏
	3:01pm Dan S: So is JtP now a Giant Man?
	3:01pm alanSixº: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @3:00 thanx deano
	3:02pm eastvanhalen: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Ouch, goddamn
	3:02pm PerroCaliente: JIM
	3:02pm Karl: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Wow, I hope you feel better. I heard a rumor though that Ken has an ultrasonic kidney stone blaster in the basement, which he usually just plays on the air (it sounds vaguely like Skynyrd, which is I guess why he has it). Anyway look into that. And feel better.
	🌮 3:03pm zachary: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Hey Alan. I haven't yet listened to the late night fill-in on Christmas. Sorry the stone is stuck in your ureter. May you have a quick and low-pain recovery. How are you feeling today? Horrible I would guess.
	🌮 3:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Ouch!
	3:03pm Fishman: Dude, I am so grateful that I am off work and have WFMU. This dumb ass invented “family, friends, laughter, and good cheer…” time of year is revolting. Music is my salvation and especially WFMU
	3:04pm alanSixº: ↳ Karl @3:02 id do that
	3:04pm alanSixº: ↳ zachary @3:03 yeah it sux
	3:05pm Borg9: Jimmer the P bringin the pet sounds
	3:05pm Dan S: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Hey, someone should do a Dylan parody song and call it "Like a Kidney Stone." Maybe Weird Al Jankovic.
	3:05pm Deano de los Muertos: I’ve feared getting a kidney stone ever since watching Deadwood, and I always knew long before that that it was the “male equivalent to giving birth”. Maybe you can put it on a keychain, Alan?
	3:06pm alanSixº: i'm hoping to get creative with it for sure -
	3:06pm alanSixº: ↳ Dan S @3:05 i was thinking more of a christmas stone song
	3:07pm Deano de los Muertos: I had a friend who’s dad had prominent tooth knocked out, and it was on his keychain.
	3:08pm markinbrooklyn: The rich little of fmu djs!
	3:11pm Dan S: ↳ markinbrooklyn @3:08 Yes, though you're dating yourself a bit with that reference.
	3:11pm markinbrooklyn: Meant as a compliment, of course!
	3:13pm Dan S: Well, this has been fun, but I have some errands to run soon. Also, frankly, I'm much more into Pseu's kind of music than Fabio's. Different strokes for different folks. Thanks, Jim, and enjoy the rest of the show, fellow listeners!
	3:16pm alanSixº: i don't think my kidney stone is worthy of a set of music 🤪🪨
	3:16pm blee: Either this noise band is Amazing, or the internet station transmitter is on the fritz.
	3:16pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Dan S @3:13 Laters Dan
	🌮 3:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Cure for Pain" by "Morphine" I thought going outside and doing some vigorous exercise would cure my Christmas pain, but I was wrong. Now I'm having buttered toast and ibuprofen.
	3:20pm Bas NL: Jeez Jim, you are conducting a marathon fill-in! Super DJ! Hello and hellos alls!
	3:27pm Kat in the chat: I like how Jim went from musically cosplaying Pseu to musically cosplaying Fabio
	3:28pm Kat in the chat: Alan, I hope you are relieved of your obstruction soon! Sounds awful.
	3:31pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:17 Breakfast of champions. Hope the ibuprofen is kicking in.
	🌮 3:31pm zachary: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:27 The magical Poet Jim. To be fair, Jim plays this type of music/noise/drone/ambient during his late night shows, too.
	3:32pm Kat in the chat: ↳ zachary @3:31 Yes he does, it's nice
	3:33pm Adi From Sheffield: Its rare I catch Jim in my waking time zone. I know there's archives but I have so much to catch up on etc.
	🌮 3:39pm zachary: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:32 I love it. Jim's amazing.
	🌮 3:40pm zachary: Hear, hear. Every time you're listening to an archive, you are behind on the live streams.
	3:42pm blee: ↳ Song: "Natur" by "KMRU" Ohh, this drone is building nicely!
	3:43pm Kat in the chat: ↳ blee @3:42 It is. I haven't had a chance to listen to this one all the way through before.
	3:47pm spodiodi: they're removing the pigeon and other netting and scaffolding!!!!!!!! happy fucking day... over a month of darkness and cold!!!!! ☀️
	🌮 3:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ alanSixº @3:16 If you can't do your planned Bucci fill-in tomorrow, can Jim fill in for you?
	3:53pm Andres: ↳ spodiodi @3:47 It’s a Boxing Day miracle! More like unboxing but still.
	3:53pm alanSixº: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:48 i'm planning on being there - since jim and i are married, he can do it if i can't
	3:54pm alanSixº: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:28 thanks
	3:56pm The Oscar: ↳ Andres @3:53 Oh my god I JUST got why there are boxes falling on the playlist!
	3:57pm spodiodi: ↳ Andres @3:53 Yes!!! you have no idea! seriously weighs on the mind... was miserable. i am SO SO SO happy!
	3:57pm spodiodi: largest retail day of the year just passed as well (i'm sure the two are connected)
	3:58pm chresti: ↳ zachary @3:31 hi spodi!\\// happy fd!
	4:00pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @3:58 i keep sneaking pics of the descaffolding ! they must think i'm crazy but wow... i guess i don't care. hi chresti!\\//
	4:00pm alanSixº: possibly
	4:02pm sofa rex: oh jim the poet! was a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he called for the marble and called for his floor and called for directional mics 3 !!!
	4:03pm Andres: ↳ The Oscar @3:56 It’s a statutory holiday here in Canada so looked right to me. :)
	4:04pm Fishman: ↳ sofa rex @4:02 LOL
	4:08pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "The Carolina Lady" by "Tuluum Shimmering" Hey, sounding good, Jim. Thanks
	4:13pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "The Carolina Lady" by "Tuluum Shimmering" Jim always bless us with some of this.
	4:13pm TDK60: Jim the Poet! Is it going swell there in the deejay booth?
	4:13pm Yes: alpha and omega vibes
	4:14pm Jim the Poet: I'm out of cold brew I need to go upstairs for a fake beer
	4:16pm alanSixº: ↳ Song: "The Carolina Lady" by "Tuluum Shimmering" my ailing body has enjoyed this track
	4:17pm Adi From Sheffield: Drawn and lettered while listening www.instagram.com...
	4:18pm TDK60: I dig Tuluum Shimmering. (They have lotsa music to play on their online homestead.)
	4:21pm The Butterman: Lovin this! Is this bluegrass?
	4:23pm The Butterman: I figured Jim woulda put on Tuluum at 1:30 and took off.
	4:30pm allyjojo: Loving Tuluum! Can’t find much about this artist online. Anyone know who they are?
	4:31pm chresti: ↳ The Butterman @4:23 Smart
	4:32pm Adi From Sheffield: I was contemplating going for a run but this has sidetracked me (and the CBD drops didn't help).
	4:32pm PaulRobeson1924: When I was back there in Seminary School
	4:35pm TDK60: ↳ allyjojo @4:30 Allyjojo. I know not /who/ they are. They have a Bandcamp page with the extensive and fab menu mentioned in my comment upscroll at 4:18. Time for tea...
	4:39pm Yes: They take requests
	4:40pm Krull Sagan: This Shimmering is PRECISELY what I needed, WHEN i needed it.....Thank you so mush, J the P!
	4:43pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Omid / Hope (2022 Remaster)" by "Silence" nice, typa thing I usually hear on Blumin’s show
	🌮 4:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: This soothing music is giving me ideas. If Alan has access to a pogo stick or trampamoline, jumping up & down on them may dislodge that stone. Or hopping about on one foot.
	🌮 4:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: That Viagra stuff opens up narrow passages. Why not take some and see if that gets it moving? Take more every four hours until mission is accomplished. 🪨
	5:03pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Omid / Hope (2022 Remaster)" by "Silence" Greatest sound by Pete Namlook.. rest in peace..
	5:10pm Gaston: Apropos nothing you are playing. This just got added to youtube and i thought everyone should have a look at what was happening 50 years ago on stage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygmSa8vcq40
	5:16pm Fishman: ↳ Gaston @5:10 Gaston, thanks for the link. Cool stuff. And of course YouTube had a lot of other ancient Bowie videos.
	5:31pm alanSixº: Zen the Poet
	5:36pm dale: been digging this track jim. hey now.
	5:37pm Jim the Poet: I got this on cassette. Side A is also pretty amazing
	5:47pm northguineahills: New to me, and digdug! Loving it Gumby! Stuck it Jersey traffic for once!
	5:52pm northguineahills: Rare to hear wfmu terrestrially!
	5:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Jim the Poet!
	5:56pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Karl @1:36 Fingerblastica
	5:58pm Kat in the chat: Thank you, Jim! Hope you can go home and relax now!
	5:58pm bleubombersune: Jim the Poet Thanks for sharing this Wonderful musical experience All stray safe and be well
	6:00pm Adi From Sheffield: Great stint. Really enjoyed it
	6:00pm Fishman: Intense. Reminds me of the early Pink Floyd
	6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Jim!

Weirs and Magic Tuber Stringband	Tunnel Dub	The Crozet Tunnel	BEING THERE, by Sarah Bachman (artist, musician) "The Crozet Tunnel—a one-mile-long, abandoned railroad passage turned hiking destination that cuts through Afton Mountain in Rockfish Gap near Waynesboro, VA. The group hauled all of their gear down the path and set up inside the tunnel, just beyond the illumination of the eastern entrance. They performed these songs in darkness, using only small lights between pieces to secure their instruments. The physical environment of the tunnel became a collaborator with the quartet. The dripping of rocks, the sound of wet gravel footsteps, and the echoes of their own voices and distant noises intertwine with their songs.  I was present during the recording, and incredibly lucky to tag along, as I am a huge fan of both projects and an avid Crozet enthusiast. Hands down, the greatest thing about hiking the tunnel is that it's completely unlit. I recommend walking through without a flashlight on a dreary weekday when nobody else is around. Allow yourself to be enveloped by the darkness. Walk to the very middle and stand in the void. Then look down and notice that you can't see your hands or feet. The only thing you can see is the floating marble-sized orb of light at the far entrance, which gives you direction and a sense of escape. I had this experience while listening to these songs live. I wept as they sang and played the “Cherry Tree Carol”, overcome by the beauty of their music in such a unique venue. I realized as I was standing there that I was inadvertently experiencing an almost perfect simulation of what people talk about when they leave the physical body and come back to tell the tales—walking toward a distant light. Heavenly voices. Faint figures passing you by. The tunnel is Virginia’s only hiking destination where you can have a near-ego-death without the use of any psychedelics. This tape is evidence of an event that happened, but the recordings did not seem to me to be the entire purpose of the event when they were discussing the details prior to recording. It felt more like the fulfillment of something that Ollie, Justin, Evan, and Courtney all recognized simply should happen. People should sing in that tunnel, because of the incredible way sounds are carried and bent and bounce around the walls. People should play experimental music inside of the tunnel because people should honor the special and mysterious places in this world with interesting and visionary arts. That about sums up the type of artists those four are. So grateful I can relive the experience by listening to this tape."	3:26:53 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Bernard Baschet	Errance "Errance" by "Bernard Baschet"	4 Espaces Sonores	The Baschet brothers are known worldwide as creators of Sound Sculptures, fantastic shapes of moulded metal and glass, which combine the visual arts with music. François Baschet had always been fascinated by acoustics, by the relationships between the shape and material of an instrument and the beauty of its sound. Bernard Baschet was passionately interested in contemporary music and firmly believed that such instruments were the proper tools for modern music, for they offered to the artist and performer a personal means of expression denied by electronic devices. Together the brothers began to design and produce Sound Sculptures, which could also be regarded as musical instruments. Circa 1965, Bernard worked alongside Pierre Schaeffer as a member of the GRM (Musical Research Group) on the elaboration of what was to become Schaeffer’s "Traité des objets musicaux" (Treatise on Musical Objects). The Baschet brothers also created structures and instruments of all sizes, including bell towers, windmills and fountains, using the natural elements of wind and water to make music. Bernard Baschet was especially proud of his pedagogical work amongst deprived and handicapped children, with the instrumentaium made up of fourteen pieces.	4:03:42 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

	1:42pm common: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:41 nope!

	1:54pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Mosquito" by "Yeah Yeah Yeahs" A mosquito gave dr fauci west nile virus and it was the most terrified he's been for his own health. He helped millions of people but not ME, lyme and long covid. I wish him and other researchers well.

	1:58pm Kat in the chat: Jim starting off with a set of bangers
	1:59pm Handy Haversack: Jim. Poetasters. Checking in before we head off to see Nosferatu. I think we might take the ferry to the theater.

	2:02pm Dan S: ↳ DjLorraine @1:57 OK. Are you expecting Michele to make a surprise appearance today? It's not gonna happen.
	2:03pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:01 I assume I can. It's dial 0 for livestream, right?
	2:03pm Fishman: Dude, I have been listening about 18 hours a day for the last week. You’re doing an excellent job. Cheers.
	2:03pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Wet Dream" by "Wet Leg" So much Wet!

	2:10pm dreamyandseedy: hello hello! i'm here just in time
	2:10pm Fishman: ↳ Song: "Love Spreads" by "The Stone Roses" The Stone Roses kick ass!
	2:11pm Dan S: ↳ DjLorraine @2:04 Thanks. I was just kidding you before. I appreciate the connection. The next time Michele is on, I'll try to remember to change my avatar to the photo of me wearing the Feelings t-shirt. It doesn't seem right to present myself wearing it for someone else's show. :-)
	2:13pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." YASsss
	2:13pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." #1!
	2:14pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." Feel like I could turn this up a bit louder
	2:14pm Deano de los Muertos: well, if it isn’t Micah’s sidekick! (It isn’t)
	2:14pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." Power chords for the ages.
	2:15pm Roberto: ↳ Karl @2:14 I need a speaker that goes to 11.
	2:16pm DjLorraine: ↳ Karl @2:14 When i saw D Jr in Ft Lauderdale it was loud.
	2:16pm Fishman: Holy 90’s flashback Batman! lol man, oh man. Am I dating myself with that expression. 😆
	2:16pm Karl: ↳ DjLorraine @2:16 When I saw Dinosaur Jr. in Asbury Park it was loud
	2:17pm sgillies: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." My generation had the best music. Two guitar solos per song!
	2:18pm Andres: When I saw Dinosaur Jr at Lollapalooza it could’ve been louder.
	2:18pm Dan S: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @2:14 I only caught the beginning of 7SD yesterday. Did JtP or a caller find a way to "ungrinchify" Micah? It sounded like a lost cause to me.
	2:18pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Start Choppin'" by "Dinosaur Jr." woo hoo!
	2:19pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" Oh this is a good call. ❤️
	2:19pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" Dancefloor filler!
	2:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dan S @2:18 He cheered up momentarily when a caller compared him to Paris Hilton, and when he talked to a nine-year-old. But that was about it.
	2:20pm Hunterian: ↳ DjLorraine @2:09 Ha! Nichts zu danken, bloß ein Nacken…
	2:21pm Dan S: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:19 Not to put you too much on the spot, but as you are from Sheffield, would you like to explain or comment on Boxing Day to us here?
	2:21pm chresti: On the way back from tjs the news on the radio was that a severed leg was found on the beach (somewhere in south LA county)
	2:21pm Dan S: ↳ Kat in the chat @2:20 Call it a small victory.
	2:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ chresti @2:21 So there's a good chance it was wet! Coincidence?!
	2:23pm Jim the Poet: do I need an alibi
	2:24pm Dan S: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:23 You have the right to remain silent, etc.
	2:24pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Dan S @2:21 Something to do with wealthy families giving the serving classes boxes of gifts the day after Christmas as I understand it. How accurate that is I don't know. 😄
	2:24pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" Brown sugar cubes - I see!
	2:26pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Birthday Justin Robinson (12" Mix)" by "Sugarcubes" There was a version of this done by The Jesus and Mary Chain called "Christmas" if memory serves.
	2:27pm Handy Haversack: Off to the movies. Thanks, Jim!
	2:27pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Pantyhose" by "TV Girl" French Exit = leaving the party without thanking the hosts for the hospitality?
	2:27pm tom tom the pipers son: @ jim the poet.... i see your earning your money today and not playing 45 minute tracks so you can hedge fund or play the ponies or however your usual modus operandi works....

	2:32pm SecretSquirrel: Speaking of Sugar, my ear candy cornucopia is overflowing! Loving everything you’re playing today👂🏼🍭 ❤️
	2:32pm Adi From Sheffield: Fox was my gateway on to WFMU. I hope she has a great birthday. I enjoyed her show immensely.
	2:33pm Dan S: ↳ SecretSquirrel @2:32 Concur!
	2:38pm Dan S: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:32 "Who was your gateway DJ" would be an excellent question to ask at any gathering of WFMU listeners.
	🌮 2:40pm zachary: ↳ DjLorraine @1:35 Agreed. I haven't either. We just returned from a walk. Did Jim mention anything, do you know?
	2:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @2:31 in a doc about ex nuns, one tells a story about a mother superior who tells a group of young nuns that if a man attempts to rape you, say "no stop, cut off my leg instead" the nuns would joke among themselves and say "ouch my leg" are there any convents close to the ocean by you?
	2:40pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Dan S @2:38 It would. I'm looking for others locally. 😄
	2:41pm spodiodi: greetings, Jim the Poet and all
	2:41pm Jim the Poet: I like nuns
	2:42pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:41 I recommend the band Wet Nuns
	2:42pm tom tom the pipers son: i like ex nuns
	2:42pm Hunterian: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:32 I remember that you were one of the folks on Fox's chat board for whom hers was a morning show—ah, those were the days/nights…
	2:44pm Dan S: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:41 Take the 5th, Jim, before you incriminate yourself. :-)
	2:44pm Jim the Poet: My lawyer is also a nun
	2:44pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Hunterian @2:42 She was my breakfast show, loved the old radio plays she used to curate and her knowledge of British science fiction is first rate 😄
	2:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:44 i hear she charges an arm AND a leg
	2:46pm DjLorraine: ↳ zachary @2:40 Not on this show. But i'm waiting for the "stone er status"
	2:47pm chresti: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:42 Ha!
	2:48pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ chresti @2:47 They were a fantastic live band. They also had a side project called "Pamela Handerson"
	2:48pm dreamyandseedy: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:44 that's all i need to hear! gonna do a lil archive hunt
	2:49pm Dan S: ↳ Jim the Poet @2:44 Good. She can always appeal to a higher court.
	2:51pm Kat in the chat: P Y L O N
	2:51pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ dreamyandseedy @2:48 She was big on the obscure sci fi. Although I get the impression WFMU listeners as a whole dig a little deeper than most folks. 😁
	2:51pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "Crazy" by "Pylon" blog.wfmu.org...
	2:51pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Kat in the chat @2:51 I was hoping you'd clicky star that
	2:52pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ DjLorraine @2:46 What’s ailing him? If it’s common knowledge, that is
	2:53pm tonyb: Reading the recent REM bio. Happily covers the early days of Pylon in Athens, GA.
	2:53pm Kat in the chat: I’m on the app at the moment Jim, might’ve been starred already :)
	2:55pm Karl: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @2:51 I talked with Fox for quite a while at Marathon and I'm not sure there is anything out there she's not familiar with. Seriously sharp.
	🌮 2:56pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Jim and all!! In it for the long haul
	2:58pm alanSixº: hi kids, oh ya know, giant kidney stone just stuck in my ureter probly not moving until another procedure on jan 3
	2:58pm alanSixº: i tried to push it out live on the air to no avail for the love of radio but maybe NYE!
	2:59pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Karl @2:55 I look forward to her eventually return. 👍
	2:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 sorry to hear alan...hope it goes ok...the procedure
	2:59pm alanSixº: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @2:59 🤘🏼
	3:00pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Ah, fuck. Speedy recovery and all that. 🙏
	3:01pm Dan S: So is JtP now a Giant Man?
	3:01pm alanSixº: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @3:00 thanx deano
	3:02pm eastvanhalen: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Ouch, goddamn
	3:02pm PerroCaliente: JIM
	3:02pm Karl: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Wow, I hope you feel better. I heard a rumor though that Ken has an ultrasonic kidney stone blaster in the basement, which he usually just plays on the air (it sounds vaguely like Skynyrd, which is I guess why he has it). Anyway look into that. And feel better.
	🌮 3:03pm zachary: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Hey Alan. I haven't yet listened to the late night fill-in on Christmas. Sorry the stone is stuck in your ureter. May you have a quick and low-pain recovery. How are you feeling today? Horrible I would guess.
	🌮 3:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Ouch!
	3:03pm Fishman: Dude, I am so grateful that I am off work and have WFMU. This dumb ass invented “family, friends, laughter, and good cheer…” time of year is revolting. Music is my salvation and especially WFMU
	3:04pm alanSixº: ↳ Karl @3:02 id do that
	3:04pm alanSixº: ↳ zachary @3:03 yeah it sux
	3:05pm Borg9: Jimmer the P bringin the pet sounds
	3:05pm Dan S: ↳ alanSixº @2:58 Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Hey, someone should do a Dylan parody song and call it "Like a Kidney Stone." Maybe Weird Al Jankovic.
	3:05pm Deano de los Muertos: I’ve feared getting a kidney stone ever since watching Deadwood, and I always knew long before that that it was the “male equivalent to giving birth”. Maybe you can put it on a keychain, Alan?
	3:06pm alanSixº: i'm hoping to get creative with it for sure -
	3:06pm alanSixº: ↳ Dan S @3:05 i was thinking more of a christmas stone song
	3:07pm Deano de los Muertos: I had a friend who’s dad had prominent tooth knocked out, and it was on his keychain.
	3:08pm markinbrooklyn: The rich little of fmu djs!
	3:11pm Dan S: ↳ markinbrooklyn @3:08 Yes, though you're dating yourself a bit with that reference.
	3:11pm markinbrooklyn: Meant as a compliment, of course!
	3:13pm Dan S: Well, this has been fun, but I have some errands to run soon. Also, frankly, I'm much more into Pseu's kind of music than Fabio's. Different strokes for different folks. Thanks, Jim, and enjoy the rest of the show, fellow listeners!
	3:16pm alanSixº: i don't think my kidney stone is worthy of a set of music 🤪🪨
	3:16pm blee: Either this noise band is Amazing, or the internet station transmitter is on the fritz.
	3:16pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Dan S @3:13 Laters Dan
	🌮 3:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Cure for Pain" by "Morphine" I thought going outside and doing some vigorous exercise would cure my Christmas pain, but I was wrong. Now I'm having buttered toast and ibuprofen.
	3:20pm Bas NL: Jeez Jim, you are conducting a marathon fill-in! Super DJ! Hello and hellos alls!
	3:27pm Kat in the chat: I like how Jim went from musically cosplaying Pseu to musically cosplaying Fabio
	3:28pm Kat in the chat: Alan, I hope you are relieved of your obstruction soon! Sounds awful.
	3:31pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Franco Twinkie @3:17 Breakfast of champions. Hope the ibuprofen is kicking in.
	🌮 3:31pm zachary: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:27 The magical Poet Jim. To be fair, Jim plays this type of music/noise/drone/ambient during his late night shows, too.
	3:32pm Kat in the chat: ↳ zachary @3:31 Yes he does, it's nice
	3:33pm Adi From Sheffield: Its rare I catch Jim in my waking time zone. I know there's archives but I have so much to catch up on etc.
	🌮 3:39pm zachary: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:32 I love it. Jim's amazing.
	🌮 3:40pm zachary: Hear, hear. Every time you're listening to an archive, you are behind on the live streams.
	3:42pm blee: ↳ Song: "Natur" by "KMRU" Ohh, this drone is building nicely!
	3:43pm Kat in the chat: ↳ blee @3:42 It is. I haven't had a chance to listen to this one all the way through before.
	3:47pm spodiodi: they're removing the pigeon and other netting and scaffolding!!!!!!!! happy fucking day... over a month of darkness and cold!!!!! ☀️
	🌮 3:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ alanSixº @3:16 If you can't do your planned Bucci fill-in tomorrow, can Jim fill in for you?
	3:53pm Andres: ↳ spodiodi @3:47 It’s a Boxing Day miracle! More like unboxing but still.
	3:53pm alanSixº: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:48 i'm planning on being there - since jim and i are married, he can do it if i can't
	3:54pm alanSixº: ↳ Kat in the chat @3:28 thanks
	3:56pm The Oscar: ↳ Andres @3:53 Oh my god I JUST got why there are boxes falling on the playlist!
	3:57pm spodiodi: ↳ Andres @3:53 Yes!!! you have no idea! seriously weighs on the mind... was miserable. i am SO SO SO happy!
	3:57pm spodiodi: largest retail day of the year just passed as well (i'm sure the two are connected)
	3:58pm chresti: ↳ zachary @3:31 hi spodi!\\// happy fd!
	4:00pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @3:58 i keep sneaking pics of the descaffolding ! they must think i'm crazy but wow... i guess i don't care. hi chresti!\\//
