	3:40pm Savage in Brooklyn: I know many folks tire of songs with their names in the title, but Mona, are you a fan of Mona Skips Breakfast by Small 23? Fine early indie rock from the 90's if you ask me!
	3:42pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Stevel @3:39 Yes!
	♥ 3:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @3:39 Nice! Though it looks like it could use more panthers. And biloquism.

	♥ 3:44pm Phillippe: Howdy
	3:44pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "What a Bastard the World Is" by "Yoko Ono" Can I say I'm finding this weirdly cathartic?
	🥀 ♥ 3:44pm Aharon: Every time I hear something in the background and am like, "Oh what IS this it's very interesting" and turn it up it turns out to be Yoko Ono.
	3:44pm annette: not a fan of yoko. she waltzed around in front of my truck in jersey in her fur coat
	♥ 3:45pm Stevel: ↳ Song: "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by "Aretha Franklin" Holy shit to the segue into this!

	♥ 3:48pm Ike: Oh wow, I spotted one of the Shn Yn cult members in Midwood putting up their posters for their insane homophobic dance show! Nutty look in her eyes, utterly bananas. Staying far away.

	♥ 3:51pm Phillippe: ↳ northguineahills @3:47 Hey ngh!
	♥ 3:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Aharon @3:44 Sort of the obverse of Nick Cave's “I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.”
	3:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Phillippe @3:51 hip hellos, phillippe!
	♥ 3:52pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @3:49 The ads for their performances play on TV for months
	♥ 3:52pm Ike: ↳ northguineahills @3:49 Part of Falun Gong. Far-right crackpots whose dance troupe has posters up everywhere all the time and inexplicably plays huge venues for weeks and weeks every year. Enemies of the Chinese govt. but the enemy of my enemy, in this case, still really fucking sucks.
	♥ 3:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Billy Jam @3:50 Billy Jam!
	🥀 ♥ 3:53pm Aharon: ↳ annette @3:44 sounds very annoying, tho TBH that is something I'd do, given the opportunity
	🥀 ♥ 3:53pm Aharon: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:52 Ha!

	♥ 3:57pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @3:43 What, inadvertent sibling incest and Werther copycat suicides aren't good enough for you?
	3:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @3:52 ok, i know falun gong, yeah...weird in not the positive way...
	♥ 3:57pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Phillippe @3:46 Thx! It's a weird little book best known as the "first American novel."
	♥ 3:58pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Michael 98145 @3:51 Thx!
	♥ 3:58pm Ike: Hey folks on a budget who barely use data, I discovered a new dirtball off-brand cell provider and so far they are NOT docking me for steaming WFMU at all despite it not being an unlimited plan!!! It’s called MobileX and it’s on Vzn network. Good price of $2.10/GB for a la carte data, but FMU all streaming all day isn’t coming off that GB and I’ve been trying this out for weeks!
	3:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Michael 98145 @3:52 ahhh, i usually mute ads, just assumed it was a PRC funded cultural project (as they do that as well).
	3:58pm Billy Jam: tnx NGH & Ken and howdy Handy and Ike

	♥ 4:00pm alexandra: Aretha and Al = very much needed. Xo always Mona.
	♥ 4:01pm alexandra: ↳ Song: "What a Bastard the World Is" by "Yoko Ono" Oh and this one too.
	♥ 4:01pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Attempted Martyr" by "Prostitute" Not sure where this is going but it puts me in mind of AMMAR 808.
	♥ 4:01pm Michael 98145: ↳ Ike @3:58 good tip
	🥀 ♥ 4:01pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:00 coming right up. please feel free to have a drink at the bar while you wait.

	♥ 4:02pm Michael 98145: ↳ northguineahills @3:58 i think they claim to be primarily anti-commie
	♥ 4:02pm Michael 98145: ↳ chris in the redwoods @4:01 howday
	♥ 4:03pm Acid Cazh: ↳ chris in the redwoods @4:01 I walked right into that one.

	♥ 4:05pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Before We Begin" by "Broadcast" ah
	♥ 4:05pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ northguineahills @4:04 Lol I think we had the same reflexive response there.
	♥ 4:06pm Ike: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:02 And there are rumors they’re funded by the (Cough Ick Ack) to fuck with the Chinese govt. — and in most cases I’d say that’s a worthy outcome, but the cultists are homophobic anti-feminist reactionary bigots. So… yeah, the usual Agency hijinks.
	♥ 4:07pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Before We Begin" by "Broadcast" An actual perfect song
	♥ 4:07pm Phillippe: ↳ chris in the redwoods @4:01 Heya chris
	4:07pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): yayyyy its monaaa
	4:08pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Song: "Everybody Hurts" by "Al Green" sad i missed
	4:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @4:05 ha!
	♥ 4:08pm Karl: Cardigans forever (Still have my go-to mid-90s cardigan in my closet, still not ready to wear it again)
	♥ 4:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @4:06 But they also gave us MFA writing programs, and those were never homophobic or antifem -- Oh. Wait. I see.
	4:09pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): mona i don't know if you've listened to TRANSA yet but i listened two-ish times yesterday ... oof. so gorgeous uplifting powerful etc
	♥ 4:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:08 You are. I gotta say. That was a good one.
	♥ 4:09pm Karl: First Band on the Moon is really, really high on my list of best albums.
	♥ 4:10pm Ike: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:09 Oh shit, I totally forgot about that one.
	4:13pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Karl @4:09 the cover of iron man on that album rocks
	4:13pm Matthew: This reminds a little of Sleaford Mods.
	♥ 4:13pm mariano: ↳ Billy Jam @3:50 Billy Jam, good to see ya! You too, ngh (and what the hell, all of the rest a yous as well)!
	♥ 4:13pm spacecadet: ↳ Song: "TREES" by "BIG SPECIAL" what is the song that this reminding me of?
	🥀 ♥ 4:13pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:02 hey hey
	♥ 4:14pm Acid Cazh: ↳ spacecadet @4:13 To me it sounds like a cross between The Streets, The Fall and Crooked Fingers
	🥀 ♥ 4:14pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Phillippe @4:07 hey there.
	♥ 4:14pm mariano: ↳ Ike @4:06 The Epoch Times, Shen Yun/Falun Gong's newspaper, has received generous funding from the US (I've seen the figure of $15 million) because they developed an app to get around the so-called Great Firewall of China.
	🥀 ♥ 4:15pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:14 totally reminded me of the Streets. a good thing.
	♥ 4:15pm spacecadet: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:14 ooo yeah - that's better than what I realized it was. I think what it is, is William Shatner's cover of Common People of all things
	♥ 4:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Supermarket Woman" by "Lemonade Market" OK, Karl mash this up with "Westchester Lady." Your project is due Monday.

	4:21pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @4:19 YES. I was working in the studio having the time of my life
	♥ 4:21pm Harry Corvair: ↳ DaveMiß @4:20 New Young Pony Club? OH HELL YES!!
	4:25pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): how am i supposed to make slaw when i can't stop dancing
	♥ 4:27pm Karl: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:14 My work-week addled brain read this as "a cross between The Streets, Tal Farlow and Crooked Fingers" and I was super-intrigued by what that would sound like. Then I was like "oh, The Fall, right."
	🥀 ♥ 4:27pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:25 Slaw and dancing are not mutually exclusive! And both are HEALTHY and CREATIVE!
	🥀 ♥ 4:29pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: PS I probably should NOT have picked up a large coffee on the way home from the USPS. OTOH I need the energy to pick up my 50+ lbs of laundry tonight.
	4:29pm ?: New!
	♥ 4:29pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Karl @4:27 lmao I'm glad I'm not the only one with trivia from violently disparate and far-flung genres chattering and bouncing around the inside of my skull.
	4:31pm northguineahills: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:25 you need a partner so you can slaw dance...
	4:31pm Paul Szepesvary: "Neubauten" was misspelled.... It's NOT "Neubaten"
	♥ 4:32pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sama" by "Dariush Dolat-Shahi" True story: I fell in love with this record while I lived in a building called Sama Tower, Abu Dhabi, ca 2012.
	4:33pm Paul Szepesvary: Einstuerzede Neubauten means Collapsing New Buildings.
	🥀 ♥ 4:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:33 Indeed!
	♥ 4:33pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sama" by "Dariush Dolat-Shahi" So "Sama" was kind of my secret theme song that year.
	4:35pm Paul Szepesvary: Sorry, Einsturzende Neubauten, ( with an Umlaut over the "u".
	🥀 ♥ 4:35pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: As I sit here drinking my very OK but boring DD coffee, part of me is silently regretting not having gone across the street from them to get an ube latte instead. OTOH I really don't need the extra sugar/calories. I get tempted every time I go out for my mail...same place also has rose lattes and lavender lattes. Iced or hot. Really good.
	4:35pm vrykoluka: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:33 You misspelled "Einstürzende" and left out the umlaut.
	🥀 ♥ 4:36pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:35 If you right click in the text box and hit "emoji" you can bring up special characters: üÜ under the symbols tab 😊
	♥ 4:37pm Handy Haversack: Well, I pulled the Martini Lever. It's time. Let's declare this bastard of a day over already. Hour: trending toward happy!

	4:37pm Matthew: ↳ Song: "Sama" by "Dariush Dolat-Shahi" I think I need to get this album.
	♥ 4:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:37 Michael and Yoko get me.
	🥀 ♥ 4:38pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 I'm working until at least 7 tonight; got another late start. Still dealing with a minor case of The Yuck/fatigue. Not sure if it's "long COVID" BS or if I'm just becoming a worn-out old hag.
	4:38pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Sounds so good in my headphones rn
	🥀 ♥ 4:38pm courtneynoir: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 The Martini Lever is my new band
	🥀 ♥ 4:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 You and K8 have a drink for me, and please give all the furbabies a virtual hug from me.
	4:39pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ vrykoluka @4:35 Sorry, I'm a bit long in the tooth and am unaware of how to use the Umlaut on an American keyboard, as there are none. Please tell me where I can find it. Thanks!!
	🥀 ♥ 4:40pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:39 Click in the message box (where I am typing now). Right-click and hit the "emoji" option on the popup. Special characters live under the Symbol tab, which has a Greek Omega on it.
	♥ 4:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @4:38 Feel better! I started working at 7 and was not able to get usual Friday-afternoon slacking off in earlier! I'll squeeze them later. They are hungry right now and dangerous ...
	♥ 4:40pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Mother" by "The Stallion" Declaring a landslide victory for this record
	🥀 ♥ 4:40pm courtneynoir: ↳ Song: "Mother" by "The Stallion" R.I.P. Allastair
	♥ 4:41pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:17 I will never catch up to Supermarket Lady / Westchester Woman
	🥀 ♥ 4:41pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Lįkĕ þʜïS
	🥀 ♥ 4:42pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:40 Yowza! Thank you. I guess you are a morning person? I am NOT. I can STAY up until 7 AM -- and have done so very recently -- but GETIING up at 7....nooooooooooooooooo
	4:42pm Paul Szepesvary: Swans, wow! ... I always thought their cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart Again" was better than the original by JOY DIVISION
	♥ 4:42pm Karl: ↳ courtneynoir @4:40 Oh no
	🥀 ♥ 4:43pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:40 And if you don't feed them soon, at least one of the crew will continue to eat your clothing....
	♥ 4:43pm common: hey, mona! all!
	♥ 4:43pm cbunny: RIP Alastair My copy of this LP is signed by Ben, and I was always hoping to get Alastair's sig too..
	4:44pm winston legthigh: thanks mona and all, have good ones!
	♥ 4:44pm Mick: ↳ courtneynoir @4:40 Oh man the bad news just keeps coming...
	4:46pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @4:36 Thanks very much!
	4:47pm ?: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:39 ö hold down "option" hit "u" then the letter you want to umlaut
	♥ 4:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @4:42 I'm not a morning person. I just HATE working past sundown or really past 4. I got cocktails to deal with. I hate coming home in the dark from the office because I like to read as I walk. And when I'm working from home, the liquor shelf is RIGHT THERE. Why work later than 4?
	4:47pm vrykoluka: Speaking of being Long In The Tooth, I saw Swans at the Limelight circa 1989 and they did Love Will Tear Us Apart with an extremely spare arrangement that was little more than Jarboe singing a capella. She had the crowd in such thrall that, other than her voice, you could've heard a pin drop in there.
	4:48pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ @4:47 Let's see if I can manage! (Many thanks)
	4:48pm ?: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:47 I hate it when my job starts to interfere with my drinking!
	4:49pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ vrykoluka @4:47 Wish I had been there!
	🥀 ♥ 4:50pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:46 You're very welcome!
	♥ 4:50pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:47 Handy, you're a straight shooter with upper management written all over you
	4:51pm Hugo (NL): Hi mona! Hi listeners!
	♥ 4:51pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:47 I wholeheartedly agree — office work should end at least an hour before sunset every day, meaning early office closure in December and January every year.
	4:51pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I hate so much when I have to leave early but I have to leave early. :(
	4:51pm Adi From Sheffield: This has been an excellent show as ever. I'm out early this evening as I'm off to someone else's studio to sit in on a mastering session. (I wanted to see how the magic happens) Laterrs 😀
	🥀 ♥ 4:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ vrykoluka @4:47 I saw Jarboe live a bazillion years ago at SXSW before SXSW started to suck.
	♥ 4:51pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:51 Speaking of, I'm cutting out of work 9 minutes early to eat with pwrmnstr before I head to the studio for 6:30pm rehearsal.

Finally, he went up behind one of them and put his hands on her boobs. A rather capable looking woman in a sleeveless flannel shirt, who I'm sure was just waiting for her moment, decked him with a right cross right to the chin. The whole place erupted in cheers.

It’s called MobileX and it’s on Vzn network. Good price of $2.10/GB for a la carte data, but FMU all streaming all day isn’t coming off that GB and I’ve been trying this out for weeks!

	4:13pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Karl @4:09 the cover of iron man on that album rocks
	4:13pm Matthew: This reminds a little of Sleaford Mods.
	♥ 4:13pm mariano: ↳ Billy Jam @3:50 Billy Jam, good to see ya! You too, ngh (and what the hell, all of the rest a yous as well)!
	♥ 4:13pm spacecadet: ↳ Song: "TREES" by "BIG SPECIAL" what is the song that this reminding me of?
	🥀 ♥ 4:13pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:02 hey hey
	♥ 4:14pm Acid Cazh: ↳ spacecadet @4:13 To me it sounds like a cross between The Streets, The Fall and Crooked Fingers
	🥀 ♥ 4:14pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Phillippe @4:07 hey there.
	♥ 4:14pm mariano: ↳ Ike @4:06 The Epoch Times, Shen Yun/Falun Gong's newspaper, has received generous funding from the US (I've seen the figure of $15 million) because they developed an app to get around the so-called Great Firewall of China.
	🥀 ♥ 4:15pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:14 totally reminded me of the Streets. a good thing.
	♥ 4:15pm spacecadet: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:14 ooo yeah - that's better than what I realized it was. I think what it is, is William Shatner's cover of Common People of all things
	♥ 4:17pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Supermarket Woman" by "Lemonade Market" OK, Karl mash this up with "Westchester Lady." Your project is due Monday.
	4:17pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Song: "Supermarket Woman" by "Lemonade Market" wow
	♥ 4:18pm Stevel: ↳ mariano @4:14 Ahhh. I didn't know their connection to the ET. Yipes.

	♥ 4:19pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:19 did you hear the fill-in for clay the other day? sooooo gooood.
	♥ 4:20pm DaveMiß: ↳ Song: "The Get Go" by "New Young Pony Club" This is the jam
	4:21pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @4:19 YES. I was working in the studio having the time of my life
	♥ 4:21pm Harry Corvair: ↳ DaveMiß @4:20 New Young Pony Club? OH HELL YES!!
	4:25pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): how am i supposed to make slaw when i can't stop dancing
	♥ 4:27pm Karl: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:14 My work-week addled brain read this as "a cross between The Streets, Tal Farlow and Crooked Fingers" and I was super-intrigued by what that would sound like. Then I was like "oh, The Fall, right."
	🥀 ♥ 4:27pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:25 Slaw and dancing are not mutually exclusive! And both are HEALTHY and CREATIVE!
	🥀 ♥ 4:29pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: PS I probably should NOT have picked up a large coffee on the way home from the USPS. OTOH I need the energy to pick up my 50+ lbs of laundry tonight.
	4:29pm ?: New!
	♥ 4:29pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Karl @4:27 lmao I'm glad I'm not the only one with trivia from violently disparate and far-flung genres chattering and bouncing around the inside of my skull.
	4:31pm northguineahills: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @4:25 you need a partner so you can slaw dance...
	4:31pm Paul Szepesvary: "Neubauten" was misspelled.... It's NOT "Neubaten"
	♥ 4:32pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sama" by "Dariush Dolat-Shahi" True story: I fell in love with this record while I lived in a building called Sama Tower, Abu Dhabi, ca 2012.
	4:33pm Paul Szepesvary: Einstuerzede Neubauten means Collapsing New Buildings.
	🥀 ♥ 4:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:33 Indeed!
	♥ 4:33pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sama" by "Dariush Dolat-Shahi" So "Sama" was kind of my secret theme song that year.
	4:35pm Paul Szepesvary: Sorry, Einsturzende Neubauten, ( with an Umlaut over the "u".
	🥀 ♥ 4:35pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: As I sit here drinking my very OK but boring DD coffee, part of me is silently regretting not having gone across the street from them to get an ube latte instead. OTOH I really don't need the extra sugar/calories. I get tempted every time I go out for my mail...same place also has rose lattes and lavender lattes. Iced or hot. Really good.
	4:35pm vrykoluka: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:33 You misspelled "Einstürzende" and left out the umlaut.
	🥀 ♥ 4:36pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:35 If you right click in the text box and hit "emoji" you can bring up special characters: üÜ under the symbols tab 😊

	♥ 4:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Michael 98145 @4:37 Michael and Yoko get me.
	🥀 ♥ 4:38pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 I'm working until at least 7 tonight; got another late start. Still dealing with a minor case of The Yuck/fatigue. Not sure if it's "long COVID" BS or if I'm just becoming a worn-out old hag.
	4:38pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Sounds so good in my headphones rn
	🥀 ♥ 4:38pm courtneynoir: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 The Martini Lever is my new band
	🥀 ♥ 4:39pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:37 You and K8 have a drink for me, and please give all the furbabies a virtual hug from me.
	4:39pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ vrykoluka @4:35 Sorry, I'm a bit long in the tooth and am unaware of how to use the Umlaut on an American keyboard, as there are none. Please tell me where I can find it. Thanks!!
	🥀 ♥ 4:40pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:39 Click in the message box (where I am typing now). Right-click and hit the "emoji" option on the popup. Special characters live under the Symbol tab, which has a Greek Omega on it.
	♥ 4:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @4:38 Feel better! I started working at 7 and was not able to get usual Friday-afternoon slacking off in earlier! I'll squeeze them later. They are hungry right now and dangerous ...
	♥ 4:40pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Mother" by "The Stallion" Declaring a landslide victory for this record
	🥀 ♥ 4:40pm courtneynoir: ↳ Song: "Mother" by "The Stallion" R.I.P. Allastair
	♥ 4:41pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:17 I will never catch up to Supermarket Lady / Westchester Woman
	🥀 ♥ 4:41pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: Lįkĕ þʜïS
	🥀 ♥ 4:42pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:40 Yowza! Thank you. I guess you are a morning person? I am NOT. I can STAY up until 7 AM -- and have done so very recently -- but GETIING up at 7....nooooooooooooooooo
	4:42pm Paul Szepesvary: Swans, wow! ... I always thought their cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart Again" was better than the original by JOY DIVISION
	♥ 4:42pm Karl: ↳ courtneynoir @4:40 Oh no
	🥀 ♥ 4:43pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:40 And if you don't feed them soon, at least one of the crew will continue to eat your clothing....
	♥ 4:43pm common: hey, mona! all!
	♥ 4:43pm cbunny: RIP Alastair My copy of this LP is signed by Ben, and I was always hoping to get Alastair's sig too..
	4:44pm winston legthigh: thanks mona and all, have good ones!
	♥ 4:44pm Mick: ↳ courtneynoir @4:40 Oh man the bad news just keeps coming...
	4:46pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @4:36 Thanks very much!
	4:47pm ?: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:39 ö hold down "option" hit "u" then the letter you want to umlaut
	♥ 4:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @4:42 I'm not a morning person. I just HATE working past sundown or really past 4. I got cocktails to deal with. I hate coming home in the dark from the office because I like to read as I walk. And when I'm working from home, the liquor shelf is RIGHT THERE. Why work later than 4?
	4:47pm vrykoluka: Speaking of being Long In The Tooth, I saw Swans at the Limelight circa 1989 and they did Love Will Tear Us Apart with an extremely spare arrangement that was little more than Jarboe singing a capella. She had the crowd in such thrall that, other than her voice, you could've heard a pin drop in there.
	4:48pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ @4:47 Let's see if I can manage! (Many thanks)
	4:48pm ?: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:47 I hate it when my job starts to interfere with my drinking!
	4:49pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ vrykoluka @4:47 Wish I had been there!
	🥀 ♥ 4:50pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Paul Szepesvary @4:46 You're very welcome!
	♥ 4:50pm Karl: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:47 Handy, you're a straight shooter with upper management written all over you
	4:51pm Hugo (NL): Hi mona! Hi listeners!
	♥ 4:51pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:47 I wholeheartedly agree — office work should end at least an hour before sunset every day, meaning early office closure in December and January every year.
	4:51pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): I hate so much when I have to leave early but I have to leave early. :(
	4:51pm Adi From Sheffield: This has been an excellent show as ever. I'm out early this evening as I'm off to someone else's studio to sit in on a mastering session. (I wanted to see how the magic happens) Laterrs 😀
	🥀 ♥ 4:51pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ vrykoluka @4:47 I saw Jarboe live a bazillion years ago at SXSW before SXSW started to suck.
	♥ 4:51pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:51 Speaking of, I'm cutting out of work 9 minutes early to eat with pwrmnstr before I head to the studio for 6:30pm rehearsal.
	♥ 4:51pm Karl: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:51 Mastering is so much fun! Enjoy!
	🥀 ♥ 4:52pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:47 Heh...for this case a lot of my team is in San Diego and I like sleeping in...I'm one of those people whose peak REM kicks in right around dawn...
	♥ 4:52pm Acid Cazh: Thanks as always for an amazing show Mona — I will be listening from the kitchen, just won't be on the comments board. Have a great weekend everyone!

	♥ 5:25pm chinn: ↳ Song: "Pretend We're Dead" by "L7" Oh hell yes
	🥀 ♥ 5:26pm courtneynoir: ↳ Song: "Pretend We're Dead" by "L7" ohhhhhhhhh high school .......
	♥ 5:27pm mariano: ↳ Song: "Pretend We're Dead" by "L7" I saw L7 back in the day in San Francisco. During the show, this drunk, shirtless frat boy was being gross with the women. Finally, he went up behind one of them and put his hands on her boobs. A rather capable looking woman in a sleeveless flannel shirt, who I'm sure was just waiting for her moment, decked him with a right cross right to the chin. The whole place erupted in cheers.
	♥ 5:29pm chinn: ↳ mariano @5:27 Fantastic.
	🥀 ♥ 5:30pm courtneynoir: ↳ mariano @5:27 that's awsome

	♥ 5:51pm chinn: ↳ Song: "People Hold On (feat. Lisa Stansfield)" by "Coldcut" Despite the ambient insanity, we can always count on Mona for a smooth entry into the weekend. Thank you!
	♥ 5:52pm mariano: ↳ joeydetroit @5:40 I have some old family movies and the 70s portion is a real hoot. There was a gathering where everyone, including my grandparents, were dancing the bump. Lots of polyester and Quiana, an array of 70s hairstyle, uh, choices.
