	♥ 7:32pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:31 I think this was from that blog, yeah
	7:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 My parents wouldn't spring for a live band, so I had a DJ, who thought that Turkish wedding music was "close enough." Ugh!
	7:39pm mic_a: Hello Gary and Boppoes! Sounding terrific. Half moon showed up in the east at lunchtime already today. Waiting for it to descend in the west if it isn't clouded over.
	♥ 7:40pm Gary: mic_a!

	8:34pm Lucia: Hello Gary! AMAZING show. Literally every song is blowing me away. Thank you!!
	♥ 8:35pm Gary: Lucia! Welcome!
	8:39pm Listener Gregory: Say what you want about the Soviet Union, they could organize a choir and orchestra.
	8:48pm wimpy: also chiming in to say i've loved tonight's show!
	♥ 8:49pm Gary: Wimpy!
	8:51pm headcleaner: Damn - I can't stan' myself for missing the first 2/3 of this show
	♥ 8:52pm Gary: Headcleaner! We understan
	♥ 8:53pm rf: this show has been so wonderful, thank you
	♥ 8:53pm Gary: RF!
	8:54pm Dean: I will say what I want about the Soviet Union. They jumped the gun and tried to impose a species of communism across a population for whom the means of production had not evolved adequately to achieve the desired ends. I'm reading Marx these days. Sorry.
	8:56pm Dean: Just received an email that indicates that Fred Frith's house concert in Berkeley might conflict with potential attendees' preferences to view the Super Bowl.
	♥ 8:57pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:56 Haha
	8:57pm wimpy: ↳ Dean @8:54 any specific text you're reading or recommend? I read wage labor and capital last month as a way to dip my toe in the water and it was very informative
	9:01pm Dean: I'm reading Capital, v.1. Ironically, the editors/translator of the new translation are appearing on my campus tomorrow, the very day I WFH (labour from home). I'm also reading Brian Leiter's and Jaime Edward's recent intro to Marx, and I plan to dive into the late Robert Paul Wolff's Understanding Marx. But Marx (via Fowkes) knew how to write. The prose is a joy.
	9:03pm v-dawg: Hi, all. Checking out tonight's music from the Stans.
	9:03pm Lucia: oh my god, that Tora Fazylova track was insanely good
	9:04pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @9:01 If he doesn't talk about choral music, I say the heck with him!
	♥ 9:05pm Gary: ↳ Lucia @9:03 I love that track
	♥ 9:06pm rf: ↳ Song: "Raqsi Kalon" by "Unknown Musicians" i want to sound like this
	9:11pm Dean: Like George W. Bush, with whom everybody wanted to have a beer, I imagine it would have been the same to have shared pints with Marx. Unlike GWB, he knew a lot about a lot, and he had intellectual curiosity. I have strong ideological commitments, but I am not reading Marx to inform or reinforce them. I want to understand the trajectory of his analysis. Put another way, WTF was he talking about?
	9:14pm v-dawg: ↳ Dean @9:01 Have you read the new translation? Is it worth the time? I heard an interviews with the two guys. It seems that it is worthwhile.
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: V-Dawg!
	9:15pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and -stans. Pleased to be here.
	♥ 9:16pm Gary: Carmichael!
	9:16pm tim abdellah: Turkmen music is deep!
	9:18pm Listener Gregory: I feel I could be a vocalist in this tradition.
	9:23pm Listener Gregory: My understanding of Turkmenistan is so close to zero that most microscopes can’t detect it.
	9:23pm Dean: I haven't read the new one, and I likely won't get around to it for a time. It's weird that Wendy Brown penned the intro. After Capital v.1 I'll either proceed to v.2 or to Melville's Omoo or to Darwin's Origin of Species.
	9:25pm Listener Gregory: I apologize for not saying “My understanning…”
	♥ 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @9:23 reading something about marx...he a prophet...about engels....he a communist
	9:29pm wimpy: ↳ Dean @9:23 I should really read melville's other novels. moby dick is without question one of the best books i've read, but i've never read any of his travel novels he wrote beforehand
	♥ 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: actually... he, a prophet...
	9:32pm Listener Gregory: I have had Melville’s White Jacket on my TBR pile for some time but haven’t convinced myself to start it yet.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:33pm mackeral: Dean, I came across this last night. Hitchens on Marx www.theatlantic.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:40pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Birwa-Bir (Solo Voice with Orchestra)" by "Unknown" wow
	♥ 9:48pm Gary: Kids! Music Lovers! People of Earth with Ears! Stick around after this mess for Sam Segal's always-already fabulous If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: "Speak to Me, Little Horse" wfmu.org...
	9:53pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Chang Melody" by "Unknown" this is beautiful
	9:56pm Listener Gregory: I could Stan 3 more hours of this, Gary. Thanks for a great show!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:56pm mackeral: thanks as always, Gary! my soul is nourished for at least another week
	♥ 9:57pm WR: Thank you! Gary! Going to listen to this many times over. Onward!
	9:57pm wimpy: fantastic show! a thousand thanks gary!
	9:58pm tim abdellah: Delightful stanning w you all - thanks Gary! I've heard the Uyghur area called Chinese Turkistan. For another evening.... Good nite all
	♥ 9:59pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, all!
	♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: (belated) Thanks Gary!
	♥ 4:39am Stanley: This show is terrific, Gary. I was in Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan/Kyrgyzstan last year and had a great time. I spent some time in the Tian Shan mountains. It was spectacular and unspoiled. Wonderful people and it was so good to be with them and their happy friendly manner. I'm learning some Russian as I plan to go back to Kyrgyzstan in the autumn. Thanks again for a great show.
	7:57am TDK60: Gary - I'm sorry I missed this show. I love the stringed instruments of central and western Asia - tanbur, saz, the like.

	7:22pm tim abdellah: ↳ tim abdellah @7:21 via Iran and Turkmenstan
	♥ 7:24pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:22 In the internet age, everyone can be Deben Bhattacharya
	7:27pm tim abdellah: ↳ Gary @7:24 No kiddin' - in hi-def too!
	♥ 7:30pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Guati-Damali Ceremony" by "Pahlevan Boland Zangsh... Love this-sounds like he's singing "liar"
	7:31pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Guati-Damali Ceremony" by "Pahlevan Boland Zangsh... Do you have a copy of this? Or did you get it from the Oriental Traditional Music blog? Such an amazing collection!
	7:32pm Listener Gregory: I wish I’d had this band at my Guati-Damali ceremony.
	♥ 7:32pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:31 I think this was from that blog, yeah
	7:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:32 My parents wouldn't spring for a live band, so I had a DJ, who thought that Turkish wedding music was "close enough." Ugh!
	7:39pm mic_a: Hello Gary and Boppoes! Sounding terrific. Half moon showed up in the east at lunchtime already today. Waiting for it to descend in the west if it isn't clouded over.
	♥ 7:40pm Gary: mic_a!
	8:02pm tim abdellah: Wikipedia on "-stan": en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 8:05pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:02 Yes! Thank you, Tim
	8:06pm Dean: Disneyland, with its this-land and that-land, propelled me into a spiral of amusement park names, concluding with Town World Land Village Park. Now I can improve that: Townworldlandvillageparkstan

	♥ 8:16pm spodiodi: Greeetings, Gary and all!

	8:22pm Dean: Enya avant la lettre?
	♥ 8:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 恭喜發財 🐍 Gōngxǐ Fācái ! 🐍
	♥ 8:23pm Gary: RevRab!
	♥ 8:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Oilo Sen" by "Myskal Omurkanova" Fabulous.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:33pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Votarakh" by "T. Tinibekov (Temir-komuz lute)" this is a great record
	8:34pm Lucia: Hello Gary! AMAZING show. Literally every song is blowing me away. Thank you!!
	♥ 8:35pm Gary: Lucia! Welcome!
	8:39pm Listener Gregory: Say what you want about the Soviet Union, they could organize a choir and orchestra.
	8:48pm wimpy: also chiming in to say i've loved tonight's show!
	♥ 8:49pm Gary: Wimpy!
	8:51pm headcleaner: Damn - I can't stan' myself for missing the first 2/3 of this show
	♥ 8:52pm Gary: Headcleaner! We understan
	♥ 8:53pm rf: this show has been so wonderful, thank you
	♥ 8:53pm Gary: RF!
	8:54pm Dean: I will say what I want about the Soviet Union. They jumped the gun and tried to impose a species of communism across a population for whom the means of production had not evolved adequately to achieve the desired ends. I'm reading Marx these days. Sorry.
	8:56pm Dean: Just received an email that indicates that Fred Frith's house concert in Berkeley might conflict with potential attendees' preferences to view the Super Bowl.
	♥ 8:57pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:56 Haha
	8:57pm wimpy: ↳ Dean @8:54 any specific text you're reading or recommend? I read wage labor and capital last month as a way to dip my toe in the water and it was very informative
	9:01pm Dean: I'm reading Capital, v.1. Ironically, the editors/translator of the new translation are appearing on my campus tomorrow, the very day I WFH (labour from home). I'm also reading Brian Leiter's and Jaime Edward's recent intro to Marx, and I plan to dive into the late Robert Paul Wolff's Understanding Marx. But Marx (via Fowkes) knew how to write. The prose is a joy.
	9:03pm v-dawg: Hi, all. Checking out tonight's music from the Stans.
	9:03pm Lucia: oh my god, that Tora Fazylova track was insanely good
	9:04pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @9:01 If he doesn't talk about choral music, I say the heck with him!
	♥ 9:05pm Gary: ↳ Lucia @9:03 I love that track
	♥ 9:06pm rf: ↳ Song: "Raqsi Kalon" by "Unknown Musicians" i want to sound like this
	9:11pm Dean: Like George W. Bush, with whom everybody wanted to have a beer, I imagine it would have been the same to have shared pints with Marx. Unlike GWB, he knew a lot about a lot, and he had intellectual curiosity. I have strong ideological commitments, but I am not reading Marx to inform or reinforce them. I want to understand the trajectory of his analysis. Put another way, WTF was he talking about?
	9:14pm v-dawg: ↳ Dean @9:01 Have you read the new translation? Is it worth the time? I heard an interviews with the two guys. It seems that it is worthwhile.
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: V-Dawg!
	9:15pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and -stans. Pleased to be here.
	♥ 9:16pm Gary: Carmichael!
	9:16pm tim abdellah: Turkmen music is deep!
	9:18pm Listener Gregory: I feel I could be a vocalist in this tradition.
	9:23pm Listener Gregory: My understanding of Turkmenistan is so close to zero that most microscopes can’t detect it.
	9:23pm Dean: I haven't read the new one, and I likely won't get around to it for a time. It's weird that Wendy Brown penned the intro. After Capital v.1 I'll either proceed to v.2 or to Melville's Omoo or to Darwin's Origin of Species.
	9:25pm Listener Gregory: I apologize for not saying “My understanning…”
	♥ 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @9:23 reading something about marx...he a prophet...about engels....he a communist
	9:29pm wimpy: ↳ Dean @9:23 I should really read melville's other novels. moby dick is without question one of the best books i've read, but i've never read any of his travel novels he wrote beforehand
	♥ 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: actually... he, a prophet...
	9:32pm Listener Gregory: I have had Melville’s White Jacket on my TBR pile for some time but haven’t convinced myself to start it yet.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:33pm mackeral: Dean, I came across this last night. Hitchens on Marx www.theatlantic.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:40pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Birwa-Bir (Solo Voice with Orchestra)" by "Unknown" wow

	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, all!
	♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: (belated) Thanks Gary!
	♥ 4:39am Stanley: This show is terrific, Gary. I was in Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan/Kyrgyzstan last year and had a great time. I spent some time in the Tian Shan mountains. It was spectacular and unspoiled. Wonderful people and it was so good to be with them and their happy friendly manner. I'm learning some Russian as I plan to go back to Kyrgyzstan in the autumn. Thanks again for a great show.
	7:57am TDK60: Gary - I'm sorry I missed this show. I love the stringed instruments of central and western Asia - tanbur, saz, the like.
