Listener comments!
	8:57pm Numero 6: Hola!
	9:02pm Mike Lupica: Hell-o!
	🥁 9:03pm Chop Scott: Good evening Mr. Jackpots!
	🥁 9:03pm egal: hallo.
	🥁 9:03pm Alex from Media: Hi Mike and lounge crew!
	9:03pm Mike Lupica: I understand the Grammys are on now. That's for music, right?
	9:04pm DJ Peter: I'm not surprised if Taupin's dad carried a gun but hope Elton John's dad didn't
	9:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ DJ Peter @9:04 Hahaha!
	9:05pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "My Father's Gun" by "Elton John" This takes me back. Which means one thing - I'm an old fossil who is loosing his marbles.
	9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Mike! Fellow members of the pit crew!
	9:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:05 Better marbles than teeth.
	9:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 Ahoy!
	9:06pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:05 Hmmm. Okay, I'll go with that.
	9:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike, tell us about the .gif headlining the playlist. It looks like a scene outta Repo Man, except that's no Chevy Malibu.
	🥁 9:08pm Chop Scott: Bitchin' Maverick you got there in the parking lot.
	9:08pm StringOFperils: That's the invention of the moon roof
	9:09pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:07 I actually don't know what it's from! I sometimes look for cinemagraphs (really subtle gifs usually from films), but they aren't always ID'd. Regardless, I support the implied sentiment of this one.
	9:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:09 I can dig it. To borrow a phrase from one of our Mothership siblings: BURN IT DOWN!
	9:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:10 Hells to the MF yeah.
	🥁 9:12pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Transmissions" by "Night Collectors" Sounds like The Fall. In a good way.
	9:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:12 \m/
	🥁 9:13pm tom tom the pipers son: hello mike and all...
	9:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:12 You mean "sounds like a lunatic ranting over a relentlessly percussive and repetitive riff"? I can dig it!
	9:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:13 Yo Tom
	9:14pm Mike Lupica: And everyone else, too.
	🥁 9:15pm tom tom the pipers son: made curried potato salad because of someone on the chat.... it came out really good... thanks for the idea....
	9:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:09 Yes! That GIF is really something. On the bank of The L.A. River, I believe. One thing I know for sure, it's not a recent photo,. How do I know, well there's a Southern Pacific GP 20 poking into the frame on the right hand side. The Southern Pacific was decommisioned years ago.
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:14 That's totally my jam, too.
	9:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:16 Super sleuth!
	9:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:16 I grew up next to a Southern Pacific switching yard.
	🥁 9:18pm tom tom the pipers son: agree about the gif...it's great...couldn't see until i expanded screen
	🥁 9:19pm Alex from Media: Wehn I saw the gif David Bowie popped into my head singing "putting out the fire with gasoline"
	9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:17 I grew up up the hill from the terminus to one of the New Jersey Transit lines (formerly Erie-Lackawanna). For nearly all of my life I've lived very close to the train, including now. The tracks are about 30' from my house. I love trains.
	🥁 9:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @9:19 Wehn as in Wehndy!
	9:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:21 Hee hee. Hi, Alex!
	🥁 9:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:18 funny in a search for gif... several actual accounts of women setting cars on fire come up...there's also 'waiting to exhale'...so it's a trope
	9:24pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:19 Me too! First it was the SP, then it was The Santa Fe, now it's the Union Pacific. I've been rocked to sleep by freight trains my entire live.
	🥁 9:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:24 that sound metaphysical
	9:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:24 Definitely something peaceful and reassuring about hearing trains lull you to sleep at night.
	🥁 9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:24 there's the title to your memoir
	9:26pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:25 That's what happens when you don't have any money - you live by train tracks.
	🥁 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:26 the rich people probably can't sleep because of silence
	🥁 9:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:27 their silence is deafening
	9:28pm StringOFperils: Trains are always going somewhere that you're not. It's nice to lie in bed and hitch a ride for a while. Until you discover radio..
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:26 Reminded of apt hunting in Brooklyn years ago. EVERY SINGLE PLACE I looked at was right next to the goddam raised subway tracks.
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:28 Aye.
	🥁 9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:28 there's a different vibe to subway vs. freight though
	🥁 9:29pm Alex from Media: ↳ StringOFperils @9:28 Sounds like a Johnny Cash song....
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:26 Yup! I can afford this house because it's old, on a little piece of land, in one of the poorest towns in Vermont, and my back yard has a really old freight line running through it. I grew up with the whistle and the clanging and the engine cool-downs as my lullaby and I love those sounds.
	9:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ Alex from Media @9:29 This year it's all pig iron.
	9:31pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:30 My house is a shack too.
	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "You're In Love" by "Ratt" Ratt! My old Dominoes Gang (long story, not about shitty pizza) used to call this band "Rat-tuh-tuh" because we insisted on pronouncing the extra "t."
	🥁 9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: actually dj peter should use this ratt gif on his show
	9:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:31 And it's not a pile of carbon, so how great is that?!!
	9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:31 It's about 150 years old, the floors are slanty (I live by the river, so my house is built on fill), the exterior walls are plaster-and-lath, and I love my house.
	🥁 9:34pm Yvang: Hi Mike and pitcrew. I used to live in a port. Now I am at two minutes walk to a train station.
	9:34pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @9:32 Great doesn't begin to explain how I feel about it right now.
	9:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Yes, whey comes from snake cheese. It's a by-product of cheesemaking. When you add something to milk to cause the proteins to bind, the liquid that runs off is the whey.
	9:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:34 It's pretty fucking awesome buddy! And I hope those grammy awards give everyone the clap. Vanitas O vanitas.
	9:36pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:35 Little Miss Muffit sat on her tuffit... What the hell is a tuffit anyway?
	9:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 I'd tell you, but this is a family show.
	9:38pm Franco Twinkie: Har!
	9:38pm StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 Thassa moneymaker, fo shuh.
	🥁 9:41pm Yvang: All my clothes have holes. The only ones that are in good condition are my most recent WFMU tee shirts.
	🥁 9:41pm Alex from Media: Wearing it now. Thermals, holes etc. More threadbare than insulating at this point.
	🥁 9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: i have a green lantern t shirt many sizes too small that i got from a girlfriend whose sister worked for dc in 1992
	🥁 9:43pm Yvang: I am a living threat to fast fashion.
	9:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: When I lived in Jersey City and could walk to the Salvation Army near the Holland Tunnel, I bought myself the sweetest cotton cardigan. Black and white horizontal stripes. Fits me so well. I think I bought it in 2009. Well, the sleeve cuffs are ragged. I replaced some of the buttons. The tag (before I removed it) was pulling at the knit, so there's little holes there. I'm not sure how to fix this sweater and maybe I just won't.
	9:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:43 Don't tell Depeche Mode!
	🥁 9:45pm tom tom the pipers son: 2nd gits of the day...sounding good...
	9:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:43 I know that Salvation Army well! Used to wander across that intersection all the time -- Home Depot, that weird produce market on the Hoboken side, and the massive liquor store that appeared there in the early aughts.
	9:46pm StringOFperils: My doctor was writing me a scrip for some antibiotics, As she was scrawling down the generic drug, she eyeballed my hole-ridden paint spattered cotton T and said,"I saved you some money."
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:45 They were so fucking great. RIP Mia Zapata, forever in our hearts.
	🥁 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: in brooklyn there was domseys...a godsend...
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:46 Hahaha!
	🥁 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:46 thanks mike, i am not familiar with them... :P
	9:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:45 Of course you do! I loved living so close to it, even though it wasn't that great. I did find a few good things there, though, including a long-sleeved horizontal striped shirt that reminds me of Bert and Ernie for no real reason. I still wear it!
	🥁 9:48pm tom tom the pipers son: one thing about faces. i find their musical timing impeccable
	9:49pm StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 They were fantastically sloppy and it worked
	🥁 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 maybe i'm wrong seems a little sloppyu
	9:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:47 Killer Seattle band, late 80s/early 90s. Punker than the grunge stuff but walked / talked amongst those bands and were respected by Mudhoney, Nirvana, etc. Singer Mia Zapata was raped and murdered walking home from a bar around '95, I think. Was featured on that "Unsolved Mysteries" tv show -- they eventually caught the piece of shit who did it. He died in prison a few years ago.
	🥁 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @9:49 that's what i meant....👍🏻
	9:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 Jeez. Horrible.
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 Oy. I forgot that's what happened to her. Fucking horrible and a rage-inducing tragedy.
	🥁 9:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 o m g .. illiciting audible response from me
	9:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:42 In the photo from this morning with my friends Theo and Rueben, I am wearing an M-41 army field jacked, that I found at the PCC flea market years ago when I was with my dear departed friend Jim, Theos father.
	🥁 9:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:53 a hah very nice memory to have...past woven into present... see why you said meet up was great
	🥁 9:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Love in Outer Space" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" very tender version of this...
	9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Love in Outer Space" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" This is beautiful and fun, like the best cartoon soundtrack. Sun Ra loved Disney films, so there we are.
	9:56pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:56 Right.
	9:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Reminds me of midway music from a carnival on Saturn.
	🥁 9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: night of the purple moon... one of my favorite ra records
	10:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 Me too! A favorite late night record.
	🥁 10:00pm JAZZfromPHILLY: Ok, Mike, I finally registered just to let you know about a great, old shirt I cannot do without. It says 1988-93 on the back & it's a long sleeved tee with moth holes & armpit holes in it. I'm talking about my Invisible Records tee from Chicago!
	10:00pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Distance" by "Damon Locks" I like this. It wouldn't cheer me up if I had it around, but that's okay.
	10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 I'd totally go there.
	🥁 10:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:00 yeah, true...
	10:01pm Numero 6: I was lucky to see Sun Ra several times.
	10:01pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:00 He was a master of the clavinet.
	10:02pm TheDerek: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 Just happy they found the POS
	🥁 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Distance" by "Damon Locks" this is a helluva track...
	10:02pm Roberto: Ded laptop. See y'all next time.
	🥁 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:01 right ...it sort fits his personality
	10:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 Serious contender for modern day classic. This record is the most exciting thing I've heard in eons.
	🥁 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry Amid Arson, Shootings and Sabotage, From Groceries to Cars to 82,150 Gallons of Paint, The Settings Aren’t Real as an Eerie Light Hangs in the Balance With Bafflement and Anger Over Lobster Haunting a Southern Town That Hopes You’re Not Paying Attention and to Hit the Right Note Connected With Dementia Patients Shuttering From the Deadly Winds Around the World And Turning Up in Egypt After Vanishing 5,000 Years Ago
	🥁 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:03 oh... thanks for the tip...
	10:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Ciranda" by "Nyron Higor" What's this all about? It's gorgeous.
	10:05pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:04 When are YOU going to write a book!?
	🥁 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:05 i'm trying to put something together... i have someone helping me edit...thanks....; )
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:05 Contemporary Brazilian sounds! Record is good, but this one really grabbed me for the reason you cite.
	10:06pm TheDerek: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Had a friend who was raped & victim shamed got no legal justice....I still rage as much as I did in 1990 just thinking about it.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ TheDerek @10:06 Geez Derek, I'm sorry. That's awful. Your rage is justified and righteous.
	10:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ TheDerek @10:06 I know. It's endemic and enraging. I'm so sorry your friend went through that. We all deserve better.
	🥁 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: violent crime creates ripples of violence that touch many people
	🥁 10:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Red Army" by "Snatch" oh right these ppl... interesting...ersatz no wavers
	10:14pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:09 Unfortunately, as a species we are hard wired for violence but when polite society eschews violent crimes but the rhetoric propagates it
	🥁 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:11 oh ...didn't know they were in the uk...americans...not really no wavers
	🥁 10:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:14 "hardwired" maybe but there's corrective "software"
	10:15pm TheDerek: ↳ TheDerek @10:14 *but their rhetoric...
	10:15pm Roberto: I wrote a report on Marcus Garvey in high school. The charges against him were definitely BS.
	🥁 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:15 yes bank fraud.... i heard how he was set up recently
	10:17pm Roberto: That's about all I remember from my report.
	10:18pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:15 "corrective"?
	🥁 10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:14 i think its a mistake to wax "philosophically" how humans are hardwired for violence...
	10:20pm socoartdecolime: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:00 i think i know the shirt. if so, it's a good one
	10:21pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:19 I'm not a philosopher. I am looking at it from anthropological perspective
	🥁 10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:18 well not the right word, but it's a mistake to talk about humans mechanistically in the first place
	10:22pm StringOFperils: I agree that the dichotomy is unfortunate. Violence is inculcated from birth. And all the rest is really bad camo.
	10:23pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Another Shot Of Whiskey" by "The Gits" I saw the surviving Gits play at Maxwell's using the name "The Dancing French Liberals of '48". Few attended.
	10:24pm Roberto: I saw that true crime story on Mia's murder. Dateline or something. It was titled "Who Killed the Rock Star"
	🥁 10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: well i read resignation into your comment that i'd describe as philosophical
	10:24pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:21 Are you shaking a no-no finger at me?
	🥁 10:24pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ socoartdecolime @10:20 I always dug Martin Atkins. Saw Pigface many times & Murder, Inc. He's got a fab museum in Chicago now also ~ PPIM.
	🥁 10:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:24 hah no.... i'm trying to counter a closed proposition
	10:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Inspiration Information" by "Shuggie Otis" media0.giphy.com...
	10:26pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:24 My friend played bass(theY had two) on PIGFACE LAST TOUR
	🥁 10:27pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ TheDerek @10:26 🆒 Did you see them?
	10:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:00 Ahh, wonderful Jazz!
	🥁 10:30pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:28 Old music memorabilia is hard for me to release, but as I age, it's become easier!
	10:31pm Mike Lupica: Weirdly, all of my associations with Pigface are Philadelphia-related because (like 30 years ago) I was randomly in Philly the night after they played there and every funny-haired kid on South Street was wearing... a Pigface t-shirt.
	10:32pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:27 No but met them. It was last minute when she contacted me. I was trying to keep it cool when i shook hands with MA. then we hing out at the back of the bus and did some catching up. We were joking anytime I see her her is when she is touring. My wife was pleasantly disconcerted by the experience
	🥁 10:35pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:31 How funny! I only have one Pigface tee, their logo. It usually gets a comment or two.
	10:35pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Doledrum" by "The La's" A great song that don't get played enough
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:35 Also, Bill Tucker worked at my local record store when I was a kid. He thumbs-upped my purchase of a Stooges cassette when I weas like 14 years old. Never forgot that. RIP.
	🥁 10:37pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ TheDerek @10:32 Trying to remember who that was?
	10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ TheDerek @10:35 Agree -- really remarkable band beyond the ubiquitous hit (which is a good song that suffers only from having been overplayed on MTV).
	🥁 10:39pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:37 I've had many happy memories from that whole revolving circus.
	10:39pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 I query your experience with violence. But i want to drop the subject
	10:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Sirop Amer (La Goule)" by "Anadol & Marie Klock" I love this album cover. What is going on in the photo?
	10:41pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:37 The bass player?
	🥁 10:41pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ TheDerek @10:41 Yes
	10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Forest Nativity" by "Francis Bebey" \m/
	10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:41 I don't know, but I love this record. Marie Klock is new to me but she seems really weird and wonderful.
	10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:42 I love that you threw the devil horns for Francis Bebey!
	🥁 10:43pm tom tom the pipers son: apropos of nothing (maybe anthropology) i recently read an account of an anthropologist who visited a tribe of cannibals... he stayed with them for a time but he saw no cannibalism, then an old woman died and her body disappeared. after some investigating the anthropologist found out the cannibals had eaten the old woman... the cannibals told him "we were hiding it from you because we know you don't approve and we didn't want to hurt yor feelings... the antropologist asked them why they ate flesh and they said it wasn't for spiritual reasons to absorb the spirit of the person they were eating it was "that the nmeat tasted so good"
	10:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 grins This album fuckin' rocks.
	10:43pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:41 They had two on that particular tour. She was the left handed player with short spiky blonde hair
	10:45pm TheDerek: ↳ TheDerek @10:43 Greta Brinkman is her name
	🥁 10:46pm JAZZfromPHILLY: Yay, to Lefties!
	🥁 10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:39 that's thoughtful of you... i'd say it's complicated yes ...dropped
	10:47pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:46 Yes lefties are a lot of fun
	🥁 10:47pm Yvang: For a long time I only knew about one (amazing) song by Francis Bebe. Then Born Bad (re) issued two fantastic LPs.
	🥁 10:47pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:43 I had an anthropology perfesser who claimed that there were no verified cannibals, it was just a slur neighboring people used. He was a bit nutty. But I call people who eat jarred tomato sauce cannibals now so if nothing else he had that impact on me.
	10:48pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:47 Born Bad does a lot of god's work in that arena.
	10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:47 All this cannibal talk is tying into a track I had planned to play tonight. I was leaning against it, but it seems the matter is calling to me from across the time vortex/dinner table. We shall see.
	🥁 10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:47 idk... i find the story very human...and funny
	10:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, this is my stop. Time for me to get off the train and head for bed. Thanks, Mike! I hope you have an excellent week.
	10:49pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Forest Nativity" by "Francis Bebey" Did it again mr. Lupica...Got a song that is be in heavy rotation this week
	🥁 10:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 Today is a day of portents.
	🥁 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:49 a ha....
	🥁 10:50pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:49 Good Night Wendy! See you tomorrow on the radio.
	10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:49 Likewise! See ya!
	10:51pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Love, Life, and Money" by "Lydia Lunch" she actually did a solid job on this
	🥁 10:53pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ TheDerek @10:45 She's played with some of the best!
	🥁 10:54pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Love, Life, and Money" by "Lydia Lunch" Very much digging this.
	🥁 10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: on comps like this i wonder if the artists choose the songs they perform...this does fit lydia like a glove
	🥁 10:56pm JAZZfromPHILLY: G'nite Mike! Thanks for the sounds & chatter.
	10:57pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:53 She was on SNL with Moby & saw her in Austin when he played there. she lives in Berlin now hanging out with Kristof Hahn
	🥁 10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: faithfull's persona and transformation could be seen as a deconstruction of the cliche of the 'english rose' an ideal of feminine beauty still prevalent inthe uk today
	🥁 10:57pm JAZZfromPHILLY: RIP Marianne Faithfully.
	🥁 10:58pm JAZZfromPHILLY: * Faithfull 🤣

	11:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:04 YOU'RE LATE, WE ALREADY TALKED ALL ABOUT YOU.
	🥁 11:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Makin' It" by "Impala" My threadbare clothes have been in this act all night.
	11:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:05 OK, not really. But DO YOU HAVE a hall pass.
	🥁 11:05pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:04 Sure!
	11:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:05 This is why god invented saxophones.

Listener comments!
	8:57pm Numero 6: Hola!
	9:02pm Mike Lupica: Hell-o!
	🥁 9:03pm Chop Scott: Good evening Mr. Jackpots!
	🥁 9:03pm egal: hallo.
	🥁 9:03pm Alex from Media: Hi Mike and lounge crew!
	9:03pm Mike Lupica: I understand the Grammys are on now. That's for music, right?
	9:04pm DJ Peter: I'm not surprised if Taupin's dad carried a gun but hope Elton John's dad didn't
	9:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ DJ Peter @9:04 Hahaha!
	9:05pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "My Father's Gun" by "Elton John" This takes me back. Which means one thing - I'm an old fossil who is loosing his marbles.
	9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Mike! Fellow members of the pit crew!
	9:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:05 Better marbles than teeth.
	9:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 Ahoy!
	9:06pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:05 Hmmm. Okay, I'll go with that.
	9:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike, tell us about the .gif headlining the playlist. It looks like a scene outta Repo Man, except that's no Chevy Malibu.
	🥁 9:08pm Chop Scott: Bitchin' Maverick you got there in the parking lot.
	9:08pm StringOFperils: That's the invention of the moon roof
	9:09pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:07 I actually don't know what it's from! I sometimes look for cinemagraphs (really subtle gifs usually from films), but they aren't always ID'd. Regardless, I support the implied sentiment of this one.
	9:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:09 I can dig it. To borrow a phrase from one of our Mothership siblings: BURN IT DOWN!
	9:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:10 Hells to the MF yeah.
	🥁 9:12pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Transmissions" by "Night Collectors" Sounds like The Fall. In a good way.
	9:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:12 \m/
	🥁 9:13pm tom tom the pipers son: hello mike and all...
	9:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:12 You mean "sounds like a lunatic ranting over a relentlessly percussive and repetitive riff"? I can dig it!
	9:14pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:13 Yo Tom
	9:14pm Mike Lupica: And everyone else, too.
	🥁 9:15pm tom tom the pipers son: made curried potato salad because of someone on the chat.... it came out really good... thanks for the idea....
	9:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:09 Yes! That GIF is really something. On the bank of The L.A. River, I believe. One thing I know for sure, it's not a recent photo,. How do I know, well there's a Southern Pacific GP 20 poking into the frame on the right hand side. The Southern Pacific was decommisioned years ago.
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:14 That's totally my jam, too.
	9:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:16 Super sleuth!
	9:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:16 I grew up next to a Southern Pacific switching yard.
	🥁 9:18pm tom tom the pipers son: agree about the gif...it's great...couldn't see until i expanded screen
	🥁 9:19pm Alex from Media: Wehn I saw the gif David Bowie popped into my head singing "putting out the fire with gasoline"
	9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:17 I grew up up the hill from the terminus to one of the New Jersey Transit lines (formerly Erie-Lackawanna). For nearly all of my life I've lived very close to the train, including now. The tracks are about 30' from my house. I love trains.
	🥁 9:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @9:19 Wehn as in Wehndy!
	9:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:21 Hee hee. Hi, Alex!
	🥁 9:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:18 funny in a search for gif... several actual accounts of women setting cars on fire come up...there's also 'waiting to exhale'...so it's a trope
	9:24pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:19 Me too! First it was the SP, then it was The Santa Fe, now it's the Union Pacific. I've been rocked to sleep by freight trains my entire live.
	🥁 9:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:24 that sound metaphysical
	9:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:24 Definitely something peaceful and reassuring about hearing trains lull you to sleep at night.
	🥁 9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:24 there's the title to your memoir
	9:26pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:25 That's what happens when you don't have any money - you live by train tracks.
	🥁 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:26 the rich people probably can't sleep because of silence
	🥁 9:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:27 their silence is deafening
	9:28pm StringOFperils: Trains are always going somewhere that you're not. It's nice to lie in bed and hitch a ride for a while. Until you discover radio..
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:26 Reminded of apt hunting in Brooklyn years ago. EVERY SINGLE PLACE I looked at was right next to the goddam raised subway tracks.
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:28 Aye.
	🥁 9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:28 there's a different vibe to subway vs. freight though
	🥁 9:29pm Alex from Media: ↳ StringOFperils @9:28 Sounds like a Johnny Cash song....
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:26 Yup! I can afford this house because it's old, on a little piece of land, in one of the poorest towns in Vermont, and my back yard has a really old freight line running through it. I grew up with the whistle and the clanging and the engine cool-downs as my lullaby and I love those sounds.
	9:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ Alex from Media @9:29 This year it's all pig iron.
	9:31pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:30 My house is a shack too.
	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "You're In Love" by "Ratt" Ratt! My old Dominoes Gang (long story, not about shitty pizza) used to call this band "Rat-tuh-tuh" because we insisted on pronouncing the extra "t."
	🥁 9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: actually dj peter should use this ratt gif on his show
	9:32pm StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:31 And it's not a pile of carbon, so how great is that?!!
	9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:31 It's about 150 years old, the floors are slanty (I live by the river, so my house is built on fill), the exterior walls are plaster-and-lath, and I love my house.
	🥁 9:34pm Yvang: Hi Mike and pitcrew. I used to live in a port. Now I am at two minutes walk to a train station.
	9:34pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @9:32 Great doesn't begin to explain how I feel about it right now.
	9:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Yes, whey comes from snake cheese. It's a by-product of cheesemaking. When you add something to milk to cause the proteins to bind, the liquid that runs off is the whey.
	9:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:34 It's pretty fucking awesome buddy! And I hope those grammy awards give everyone the clap. Vanitas O vanitas.
	9:36pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:35 Little Miss Muffit sat on her tuffit... What the hell is a tuffit anyway?
	9:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 I'd tell you, but this is a family show.
	9:38pm Franco Twinkie: Har!
	9:38pm StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:36 Thassa moneymaker, fo shuh.
	🥁 9:41pm Yvang: All my clothes have holes. The only ones that are in good condition are my most recent WFMU tee shirts.
	🥁 9:41pm Alex from Media: Wearing it now. Thermals, holes etc. More threadbare than insulating at this point.
	🥁 9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: i have a green lantern t shirt many sizes too small that i got from a girlfriend whose sister worked for dc in 1992
	🥁 9:43pm Yvang: I am a living threat to fast fashion.
	9:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: When I lived in Jersey City and could walk to the Salvation Army near the Holland Tunnel, I bought myself the sweetest cotton cardigan. Black and white horizontal stripes. Fits me so well. I think I bought it in 2009. Well, the sleeve cuffs are ragged. I replaced some of the buttons. The tag (before I removed it) was pulling at the knit, so there's little holes there. I'm not sure how to fix this sweater and maybe I just won't.
	9:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:43 Don't tell Depeche Mode!
	🥁 9:45pm tom tom the pipers son: 2nd gits of the day...sounding good...
	9:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:43 I know that Salvation Army well! Used to wander across that intersection all the time -- Home Depot, that weird produce market on the Hoboken side, and the massive liquor store that appeared there in the early aughts.
	9:46pm StringOFperils: My doctor was writing me a scrip for some antibiotics, As she was scrawling down the generic drug, she eyeballed my hole-ridden paint spattered cotton T and said,"I saved you some money."
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:45 They were so fucking great. RIP Mia Zapata, forever in our hearts.
	🥁 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: in brooklyn there was domseys...a godsend...
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:46 Hahaha!
	🥁 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:46 thanks mike, i am not familiar with them... :P
	9:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:45 Of course you do! I loved living so close to it, even though it wasn't that great. I did find a few good things there, though, including a long-sleeved horizontal striped shirt that reminds me of Bert and Ernie for no real reason. I still wear it!
	🥁 9:48pm tom tom the pipers son: one thing about faces. i find their musical timing impeccable
	9:49pm StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 They were fantastically sloppy and it worked
	🥁 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 maybe i'm wrong seems a little sloppyu
	9:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:47 Killer Seattle band, late 80s/early 90s. Punker than the grunge stuff but walked / talked amongst those bands and were respected by Mudhoney, Nirvana, etc. Singer Mia Zapata was raped and murdered walking home from a bar around '95, I think. Was featured on that "Unsolved Mysteries" tv show -- they eventually caught the piece of shit who did it. He died in prison a few years ago.
	🥁 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @9:49 that's what i meant....👍🏻
	9:51pm StringOFperils: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 Jeez. Horrible.
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 Oy. I forgot that's what happened to her. Fucking horrible and a rage-inducing tragedy.
	🥁 9:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 o m g .. illiciting audible response from me
	9:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:42 In the photo from this morning with my friends Theo and Rueben, I am wearing an M-41 army field jacked, that I found at the PCC flea market years ago when I was with my dear departed friend Jim, Theos father.
	🥁 9:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:53 a hah very nice memory to have...past woven into present... see why you said meet up was great
	🥁 9:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Love in Outer Space" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" very tender version of this...
	9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Love in Outer Space" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" This is beautiful and fun, like the best cartoon soundtrack. Sun Ra loved Disney films, so there we are.
	9:56pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:56 Right.
	9:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Reminds me of midway music from a carnival on Saturn.
	🥁 9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: night of the purple moon... one of my favorite ra records
	10:00pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 Me too! A favorite late night record.
	🥁 10:00pm JAZZfromPHILLY: Ok, Mike, I finally registered just to let you know about a great, old shirt I cannot do without. It says 1988-93 on the back & it's a long sleeved tee with moth holes & armpit holes in it. I'm talking about my Invisible Records tee from Chicago!
	10:00pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Distance" by "Damon Locks" I like this. It wouldn't cheer me up if I had it around, but that's okay.
	10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 I'd totally go there.
	🥁 10:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:00 yeah, true...
	10:01pm Numero 6: I was lucky to see Sun Ra several times.
	10:01pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:00 He was a master of the clavinet.
	10:02pm TheDerek: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:50 Just happy they found the POS
	🥁 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Distance" by "Damon Locks" this is a helluva track...
	10:02pm Roberto: Ded laptop. See y'all next time.
	🥁 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:01 right ...it sort fits his personality
	10:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 Serious contender for modern day classic. This record is the most exciting thing I've heard in eons.
	🥁 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry Amid Arson, Shootings and Sabotage, From Groceries to Cars to 82,150 Gallons of Paint, The Settings Aren’t Real as an Eerie Light Hangs in the Balance With Bafflement and Anger Over Lobster Haunting a Southern Town That Hopes You’re Not Paying Attention and to Hit the Right Note Connected With Dementia Patients Shuttering From the Deadly Winds Around the World And Turning Up in Egypt After Vanishing 5,000 Years Ago
	🥁 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:03 oh... thanks for the tip...
	10:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Ciranda" by "Nyron Higor" What's this all about? It's gorgeous.
	10:05pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:04 When are YOU going to write a book!?
	🥁 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:05 i'm trying to put something together... i have someone helping me edit...thanks....; )
	10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:05 Contemporary Brazilian sounds! Record is good, but this one really grabbed me for the reason you cite.
	10:06pm TheDerek: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Had a friend who was raped & victim shamed got no legal justice....I still rage as much as I did in 1990 just thinking about it.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ TheDerek @10:06 Geez Derek, I'm sorry. That's awful. Your rage is justified and righteous.
	10:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ TheDerek @10:06 I know. It's endemic and enraging. I'm so sorry your friend went through that. We all deserve better.
	🥁 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: violent crime creates ripples of violence that touch many people
	🥁 10:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Red Army" by "Snatch" oh right these ppl... interesting...ersatz no wavers
	10:14pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:09 Unfortunately, as a species we are hard wired for violence but when polite society eschews violent crimes but the rhetoric propagates it
	🥁 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:11 oh ...didn't know they were in the uk...americans...not really no wavers
	🥁 10:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:14 "hardwired" maybe but there's corrective "software"
	10:15pm TheDerek: ↳ TheDerek @10:14 *but their rhetoric...
	10:15pm Roberto: I wrote a report on Marcus Garvey in high school. The charges against him were definitely BS.
	🥁 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:15 yes bank fraud.... i heard how he was set up recently
	10:17pm Roberto: That's about all I remember from my report.
	10:18pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:15 "corrective"?
	🥁 10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:14 i think its a mistake to wax "philosophically" how humans are hardwired for violence...
	10:20pm socoartdecolime: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:00 i think i know the shirt. if so, it's a good one
	10:21pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:19 I'm not a philosopher. I am looking at it from anthropological perspective
	🥁 10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:18 well not the right word, but it's a mistake to talk about humans mechanistically in the first place
	10:22pm StringOFperils: I agree that the dichotomy is unfortunate. Violence is inculcated from birth. And all the rest is really bad camo.
	10:23pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Another Shot Of Whiskey" by "The Gits" I saw the surviving Gits play at Maxwell's using the name "The Dancing French Liberals of '48". Few attended.
	10:24pm Roberto: I saw that true crime story on Mia's murder. Dateline or something. It was titled "Who Killed the Rock Star"
	🥁 10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: well i read resignation into your comment that i'd describe as philosophical
	10:24pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:21 Are you shaking a no-no finger at me?
	🥁 10:24pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ socoartdecolime @10:20 I always dug Martin Atkins. Saw Pigface many times & Murder, Inc. He's got a fab museum in Chicago now also ~ PPIM.
	🥁 10:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:24 hah no.... i'm trying to counter a closed proposition
	10:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Inspiration Information" by "Shuggie Otis" media0.giphy.com...
	10:26pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:24 My friend played bass(theY had two) on PIGFACE LAST TOUR
	🥁 10:27pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ TheDerek @10:26 🆒 Did you see them?
	10:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:00 Ahh, wonderful Jazz!
	🥁 10:30pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:28 Old music memorabilia is hard for me to release, but as I age, it's become easier!
	10:31pm Mike Lupica: Weirdly, all of my associations with Pigface are Philadelphia-related because (like 30 years ago) I was randomly in Philly the night after they played there and every funny-haired kid on South Street was wearing... a Pigface t-shirt.
	10:32pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:27 No but met them. It was last minute when she contacted me. I was trying to keep it cool when i shook hands with MA. then we hing out at the back of the bus and did some catching up. We were joking anytime I see her her is when she is touring. My wife was pleasantly disconcerted by the experience
	🥁 10:35pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:31 How funny! I only have one Pigface tee, their logo. It usually gets a comment or two.
	10:35pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Doledrum" by "The La's" A great song that don't get played enough
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:35 Also, Bill Tucker worked at my local record store when I was a kid. He thumbs-upped my purchase of a Stooges cassette when I weas like 14 years old. Never forgot that. RIP.
	🥁 10:37pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ TheDerek @10:32 Trying to remember who that was?
	10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ TheDerek @10:35 Agree -- really remarkable band beyond the ubiquitous hit (which is a good song that suffers only from having been overplayed on MTV).
	🥁 10:39pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:37 I've had many happy memories from that whole revolving circus.
	10:39pm TheDerek: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 I query your experience with violence. But i want to drop the subject
	10:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Sirop Amer (La Goule)" by "Anadol & Marie Klock" I love this album cover. What is going on in the photo?
	10:41pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:37 The bass player?
	🥁 10:41pm JAZZfromPHILLY: ↳ TheDerek @10:41 Yes
	10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Forest Nativity" by "Francis Bebey" \m/
	10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:41 I don't know, but I love this record. Marie Klock is new to me but she seems really weird and wonderful.
	10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:42 I love that you threw the devil horns for Francis Bebey!
	🥁 10:43pm tom tom the pipers son: apropos of nothing (maybe anthropology) i recently read an account of an anthropologist who visited a tribe of cannibals... he stayed with them for a time but he saw no cannibalism, then an old woman died and her body disappeared. after some investigating the anthropologist found out the cannibals had eaten the old woman... the cannibals told him "we were hiding it from you because we know you don't approve and we didn't want to hurt yor feelings... the antropologist asked them why they ate flesh and they said it wasn't for spiritual reasons to absorb the spirit of the person they were eating it was "that the nmeat tasted so good"
	10:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 grins This album fuckin' rocks.
	10:43pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:41 They had two on that particular tour. She was the left handed player with short spiky blonde hair
	10:45pm TheDerek: ↳ TheDerek @10:43 Greta Brinkman is her name
	🥁 10:46pm JAZZfromPHILLY: Yay, to Lefties!
	🥁 10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TheDerek @10:39 that's thoughtful of you... i'd say it's complicated yes ...dropped
	10:47pm TheDerek: ↳ JAZZfromPHILLY @10:46 Yes lefties are a lot of fun
	🥁 10:47pm Yvang: For a long time I only knew about one (amazing) song by Francis Bebe. Then Born Bad (re) issued two fantastic LPs.
	🥁 10:47pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:43 I had an anthropology perfesser who claimed that there were no verified cannibals, it was just a slur neighboring people used. He was a bit nutty. But I call people who eat jarred tomato sauce cannibals now so if nothing else he had that impact on me.
	10:48pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:47 Born Bad does a lot of god's work in that arena.
	10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:47 All this cannibal talk is tying into a track I had planned to play tonight. I was leaning against it, but it seems the matter is calling to me from across the time vortex/dinner table. We shall see.
	🥁 10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:47 idk... i find the story very human...and funny
	10:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, this is my stop. Time for me to get off the train and head for bed. Thanks, Mike! I hope you have an excellent week.
