	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike! Please thank the bouncer for saving my favorite table for me. Sorry I'm a little late.
	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello everyone!
	9:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:31 The fact that you carved your name in the table with your switchblade last week sent a pretty clear message...
	9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Career Opportunities" by "Sex Clark Five" I've never heard of this comp. What's your opinion, Mike?
	9:32pm StringOFperils: Greetings, Wendo!
	9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ StringOFperils @9:32 Hey SOFp!
	9:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:32 I haven't heard the rest of it! But I heard this on another station last Friday for International Clash Day and liked it lots. (Lots more than dopey punk bands just doing straight Clash covers, anyway.)
	🥁 9:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:33 good name for a country western band..." dopey punk band" ah nah...
	9:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:33 Yeah, the dopey punk covers can get old. I tuned in right for the Sex Clark Five and thought it was pretty nice. I didn't know Friday was International Clash Day. I rely on my Slingshot planner to tell me about holidays and there ain't nothin'. Dang anarchists!
	9:38pm WR: I choose a bowl of soup and WFMU.
	9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Career Opportunities" by "Sex Clark Five" I just looked it up on discogs. Could be some good stuff! Jon Langford and Sally Timms do "Junco Partner," for example. www.discogs.com...
	9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ WR @9:38 Hey WR! I also choose soup and WFMU. And my friend James and watching some Simpsons.
	9:39pm chresti: I was good in sports until I started smoking and drinking
	🥁 9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: i think there are plenty of non athletic nerds into sports
	🥁 9:40pm Alex from Media: Hi all! Jumping in late due to sports related party.
	9:40pm WR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:38 Hi Wendy, sounds like sound choices.
	9:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: Alex!
	🥁 9:41pm tom tom the pipers son: they want more.... its a bottomless pit
	9:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Sandinista!" is maligned? Tells ya what I know. I love that album.
	🥁 9:41pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:40 Wendy!
	9:44pm StringOFperils: More respectable talk-box reference. Steppenwolf even.
	🥁 9:45pm Alex from Media: Saw Alice Cooper many moons ago. Had the talk box going.
	9:45pm chresti: sports activates the same part of the brain that music does
	9:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:41 it was my clash gateway (wasn't into the clash until i heard that album)
	9:47pm chresti: Oh hi!
	9:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:39 Funny, I could smoke and drink like a frickin' CHAMPION until I started jogging.
	9:47pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:45 *playing sports
	9:49pm chresti: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:47 Haha
	9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:46 Yay! I've loved The Clash since I was a wee girl, hearing "Rock the Casbah" on the FM radio. The first entire album I heard was at my friend Alex's house when I was 13. Her brother had "London Calling" on cassette. We brought it outside and played it on her boombox while we played basketball in the driveway. We bounced the ball to "Rudie Can't Fail." It's a happy memory.
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Damn, Your Booty Don't Stop" by "Timothy Edwin Sc... This is pretty awesome. Is the rest of the CD this good?
	9:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Yes. It all sounds EXACTLY like that song.
	🥁 9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: booty is a concept....
	9:54pm StringOFperils: Those jams needed some kind of tainty segue
	9:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:54 Hahaha!
	9:55pm chresti: I liked jogging until I tripped and fell
	🥁 9:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @9:54 like 'taint too proud to beg"...?
	9:56pm StringOFperils: Hah!
	9:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:55 During lockdown-era Covid, I got attacked by a vicious teacup poodle while jogging. It ran out, chased me, and bit my ankles several times before I turned on it and roared with my arms up like some spooky oak tree from a horror movie. I don't know if anyone else saw it happen, but it probably looked pretty funny.
	🥁 9:59pm Roberto: Well, I'm less late than usual.
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @9:59 Victories are fleeting nowadays. Take this one.
	10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 Seems like a pretty good argument against jogging, if you ask me.
	10:01pm chresti: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 Did the dog stop?
	10:01pm StringOFperils: Should have tucked it under a windshield-wiper
	🥁 10:02pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:00 And against dogs!
	🥁 10:02pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 I went for a jog last election day and was stung on the eyelid by a large wasp. It wasn't the only sting I felt that day.
	10:02pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @10:01 It ran away, terrified. Note that I did not kick or harm it in any way.
	10:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:02 Yee-oouch!
	🥁 10:03pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @10:02 WASPs won that day...
	🥁 10:03pm Roberto: ↳ Yvang @10:03 Oy.
	10:04pm StringOFperils: White Christian nationalists and WASPS are stinging me to death
	10:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "How We Never Went To Bed" by "To Rococo Rot & I-S... i haz this rekkid!
	🥁 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry Frustration Over Expansive Facial Recognition Program Has One Grieving Mother’s Concerns Mounting for Migrant Children at Outdoor Holding Sites that Became a Different Kind of Suburb And Gave Insight Into Persistent Ethnic Tensions Amid The Tinge of Stained Glass Treading Carefully Over Who Will Get Colorectal Cancer This Year
	🥁 10:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:04 Excellent!
	🥁 10:05pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:02 Thanks to Climate Change, wasps were still active in November. Then a bunch of jagoffs who plan to change the climate considerably more got "elected."
	10:05pm Mike Lupica: "Who Will Get Colorectal Cancer This Year" is a DJ name just waiting for someone to pick up.
	🥁 10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: thx alex
	10:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Roberto @10:02 owie!
	🥁 10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 ha!
	🥁 10:06pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:04 The Colorectal Cancer is a glimmer of hope in this poem (it can be cured)
	🥁 10:07pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 I can tell you whoever gets it will not be who I hoped would get it.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:06 Yes, everybody please get your booty checked according to doc's instructions.
	🥁 10:08pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Holding the Dawn in Place (Beyond Pt. 2)" by "Dam... The gif is amazingly synchronized to the song.
	🥁 10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:06 you're right....technically this poem is old... i'm redoing recombining stuff from last year
	10:08pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:08 Great! And I did actually make this one.
	🥁 10:08pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:07 It's said one shouldn't wish cancer on anyone, but goddam it's hard to stick to that philosophy lately.
	10:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:02 Oh, but I love dogs!
	🥁 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 oh looks good
	🥁 10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:08 and it just feels redundant too..
	🥁 10:10pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:09 I do too, except the ones who run to me barking agressively.
	🥁 10:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Sixteen Days" by "Ed Kuepper & Jim White" played last week mike? real nice
	10:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:11 I think I played a different song from this album last week, no? But yes -- great album. Love Ed AND Jim.
	10:12pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @10:08 I know right? Out demons out!
	🥁 10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:12 i meant album.... : )
	🥁 10:13pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:08 I suppose in the spirit of Clarence Darrow (often misattributed to Mark Twain), there might be some diagnoses I would read with great satisfaction.
	10:13pm StringOFperils: This week is going to be off-the-charts hideous. Can cancer even get cancer?
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:10 Well, yeah, I draw the line there, too. I mean, if I ran to THEM barking aggressively, I'd understand why they'd respond that way. Otherwise, nope!
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Radio Song" by "Rose City Band" I effin' love Rose City Band.
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:14 I like them, though I am having a hard time getting my head around the apparent fact that 80s Grateful Dead is the current corpse at which the buzzards of underground music are picking.
	🥁 10:17pm Roberto: ↳ StringOFperils @10:13 Good point, that's probably how these saturated-fats-guzzling shitheads have avoided it for this long.
	🥁 10:17pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Radio Song" by "Rose City Band" Rose City Band is is my calm the fuck down music.
	🥁 10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 @ 10:10
	10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:16 I dunno, I kinda dig it. It's a little bit Dead-y, a little bit yacht rock, and it's nice.
	10:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:17 (The whole underground direction thing.)
	🥁 10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike ...you wi-i-i-lll get by....
	🥁 10:22pm tom tom the pipers son: beans...?
	10:22pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Radio Song" by "Rose City Band" Get of the bus Mike! The Grateful Dead with all their flaws were mighty once upon a time.
	🥁 10:23pm Yvang: Wrong station name...
	🥁 10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:22 @ mike ... i think you were talking about beans, a dj...ngh probably knew him
	🥁 10:26pm Roberto: Philly hath emerged victorious. I'm glad my daughter moved out of there in '23.
	🥁 10:27pm Alex from Media: Local fireworks going. Game over. Eagles big win.
	10:28pm chresti: Y
	10:28pm Jim Haku: I was at that Southpaw show, working the merch table w/ Jeff Mangum, who I did not recognize, I think Scott told me later.
	10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "It's Up To You" by "The Specials" Nice song. Nice gif.
	10:28pm chresti: Ay eagles!
	10:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Jim Haku @10:28 Hey Jim, that gets written down in the big notebook of excellent stories!
	10:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:23 Shit, did I do that again?
	🥁 10:30pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:29 I am afraid so.
	10:31pm StringOFperils: Universe is unravelling.
	🥁 10:31pm Roberto: ↳ chresti @10:28 Z
	10:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:30 Around 15 years ago, I was still doing a show on the FMU mothership while doing pickup work at WNYC and starting my full-time gig as the advisor for WPRB. Picking up the phone was a crapshoot, you never knew which radio station I was gonna identify.
	🥁 10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 me @ 10:24
	10:33pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "It's Up To You" by "The Specials" I saw The Specials at The Whisky on The Sunset Strip in 1979. Notable for the last time my then girlfriend when to see music with me.
	10:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:33 Beans as in the guy from Antipop Consortium?
	🥁 10:35pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 You had a show in 2009 that I re-listened to for years. The last set was positively epic and bore repeated listening.
	🥁 10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:35 yes i think so... am i wrong?
	10:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Nice. I saw a reunion gig they did w/ members of the English Beat in 1988 or 89. Did songs by both bands, but was lots of fun despite the state fair supergroup vibe.
	10:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:35 Aww, that's nice to hear! Which show was it?
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:35 He might've worked there, but he doesn't look anything like the guy on the To Rococo Rot album cover, so I think that's someone else.
	🥁 10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:37 oh i know he worked there, but it prob was not him....it seems
	10:39pm WR: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 Two main companies that I have worked for are both called BT. Perversely I prefer to answer the phone stating the name instead of the initials and maybe 5% of the time I answer with the name of the company that I have not worked with for nearly 35 years. And I only worked there for about 5 years.
	🥁 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: very strong fahey vibes here
	🥁 10:40pm Alex from Media: Where does that "There is no death" clip come from?
	10:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ WR @10:39 That sounds like a variation on the recurring nightmare of the college course you signed up for in the last semester but never attended and the test is tomorrow. I still have that one at least a few times a year.
	🥁 10:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:40 a little academic
	10:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:40 Yep, the Fahey is strong with this one!
	10:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:40 It's a clip from a Bill Hicks standup comedy routine about a weatherman on acid.
	🥁 10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:41 although ersatz fahey worthwhile too...
	10:43pm StringOFperils: I can always listen to that stuff
	10:44pm northguineahills: not sure which beans...
	🥁 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:36 I'd have to check the archives. I recall in the final set were Duffy, Joe Pop-O-Pies, Kurt Vile, and John Lennon, among others.
	🥁 10:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:44 more than one beans hung at tonic?
	10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:44 Nice. That sounds very on-brand for my musical taste circa 2009.
	10:47pm Mike Lupica: @NGH, did you work at Tonic?
	10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 I was also moonlighting as an occasional fill-in at East Village Radio back then, further adding to the call-letter confusion.
	🥁 10:50pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:45 Yup yup yup.
	10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:50 Nice. Thank you for your service!
	🥁 10:50pm Alex from Media: Thanks.
	10:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 no, but I lived there, I was there about 4-5 days a week (got in for free, and drank for free) (only djed about once every other month)
	🥁 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 my ex hund at tonic around same period as ngh...my ex knew beans at kim's from tonic
	10:52pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:45 i didn't know anyone named, beans. the only person i knew that went by beans in nyc was the guy from antipop.
	10:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Isotope Soap" by "Geza X" \m/ This comp!
	10:52pm StringOFperils: Wow! I taped this LP off somebody waaaaay back
	🥁 10:52pm Roberto: Found that shizzle: www.wfmu.org...
	🥁 10:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:52 oh, i assumed tara knew beans from tonic, we chatted with him a couple of times at kim's
	10:54pm WR: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Franco! As usual I greatly enjoy your assortment of avatar PICs and the pics of the concrete creatures in the park remind me: My son listens to WFMU, he is 36. On Friday he calls me and says "are you listening to the Bucci show" and I reply, "no, I rarely listen to that show." We rarely listen to the same show. He says, "there's guy who called in talking about being in a park with concrete animals and what he is saying isn't very interesting and what Bucci is saying back isn't interesting but the two together are very entertaining, hilarious." I reply, "I wonder if the caller is Franco" He says, "Who knows, I wasn't paying that close attention, but maybe, he seems to be a regular."
	🥁 10:54pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Isotope Soap" by "Geza X" Fuckin' Reagan. That's where all this shit started.
	10:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Misquote (Tiers la Familia Remix)" by "Abbie from... abbie sounding like seefeel....
	10:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:52 Yee-har! Oh, that Feederz song...
	10:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:54 Aye.
	10:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @10:54 Yay! Abbie rules.
	10:55pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:54 i had a lot of friends that worked at kims, but would only go once every other month.
	10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:54 hahaha right?! Kinda scathing in a good way, kinda outdated in an "I really won't play this on the radio" way.
	🥁 10:57pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I'm Sorry" by "Inflatable Boy Clams" Best apology song ever.
	10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I'm Sorry" by "Inflatable Boy Clams" I love this track! I think I first heard it cos'-a Charlie Lewis.
	10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:57 So genius. They were saying fuck you to the patriarchy before the patriarchy even knew it sucked.
	🥁 10:58pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:58 Right??
	11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Launderette" by "Vivien Goldman" Ooh! The hits just keep on coming! I love this one, too.
	11:01pm Mike Lupica: She's the coolest!
	🥁 11:02pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Launderette" by "Vivien Goldman" Wasn't this Liz Berg bed music bed?
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mike and others
	11:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hola, coel!
	11:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @11:02 Not sure, but that would be pretty on brand for Liz. Also, I have reason to believe that Liz sometimes LURKS on this show w/o commenting, so maybe if we all scream her name really loudly we can summon her?
	11:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:06 Hola! / Hell-o!
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ Yvang @11:02 aye!
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:09 Hi Wendy!
	11:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:10 Maybe it's a Beetlejuice thing and we have to say her name thrice. LIZ! LIZ! LIZ!
	11:19pm WR: Maybe three times three? LIZ! LIZ! LIZ! ?
	🥁 11:20pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Native Waiter" by "The Victor Dimisich Band" I thought it was Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Something in the voice.
	🥁 11:20pm Chop Scott: ↳ Song: "The Crippled Lion" by "Michael Nesmith & The Firs... Howdy Mike! Here just in time.
	11:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "The Crippled Lion" by "Michael Nesmith & The Firs... All this AND he produced "Repo Man"!
	🥁 11:22pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:17 Liz Thrice but not Liz Truss (or a black pudding will appear).
	11:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:20 ALL RISE, CHOP SCOTT HAS ENTERED THE GAME GRID.
	🥁 11:25pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Working Class Woman" by "Barbara Dane" I have another LP sleeve which pairs well with this one www.discogs.com...
	🥁 11:25pm Liz Berg: Have I been summoned?
	11:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @11:22 I don't think I'd like Liz Truss to appear. But I've nothing against black pudding.
	🥁 11:26pm Yvang: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 Hi Liz Berg!
	11:26pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 Holy shit, it worked! Good job, pitcrew!
	11:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 Hey Liz Berg!!! (nice work, everyone!)
	11:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 It may take a while for people to regain their composure so I will re-up the original question: Did you ever use the song "Launderette" by Vivien Goldman as talkover music? This is a thing that WFMU's Sunday Night Pitcrew needs to know.
	11:27pm northguineahills: heyza liz!
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:26 haha Hi Liz Berg!
	🥁 11:29pm Liz Berg: It’s an honor to be here with you fine people! And yes, I did use Launderette as bed music.
	🥁 11:31pm Roberto: Wait, what?? Liz freakin' Berg is here?
	11:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Hexenzsene" by "Unwound" That gif almost looks like the phone room at the station.
	11:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:29 What a day -- I had lunch with Scott Williams and now Liz Berg is up in my playlist chat. WHAT'S NEXT, MOSUROCK AT THE VINCE LOMBARDI REST AREA?
	11:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:32 That's Jabberjaw -- so probably has some of the same smells, if nothing else.
	11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:33 How... uh... "nice" for them.
	11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, this is my stop. Time for me to get ready for bed. Thanks a bunch, Mike! G'night, everyone. Take care of your fine selves.
	🥁 11:36pm Roberto: ↳ Liz Berg @11:29 Lizzziiiziziz
	🥁 11:39pm Liz Berg: Enjoying these fine sounds tonight with you fine people! Hope everyone is hanging in there. Marveling at the footage of folks wilding in the streets of Philly.
	11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:39 I'm not surprised, but also a little scared to look. Is it, like, good natured wilding, or are they burning shit down?

	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike! Please thank the bouncer for saving my favorite table for me. Sorry I'm a little late.
	9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello everyone!
	9:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:31 The fact that you carved your name in the table with your switchblade last week sent a pretty clear message...
	9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Career Opportunities" by "Sex Clark Five" I've never heard of this comp. What's your opinion, Mike?
	9:32pm StringOFperils: Greetings, Wendo!
	9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ StringOFperils @9:32 Hey SOFp!
	9:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:32 I haven't heard the rest of it! But I heard this on another station last Friday for International Clash Day and liked it lots. (Lots more than dopey punk bands just doing straight Clash covers, anyway.)
	🥁 9:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:33 good name for a country western band..." dopey punk band" ah nah...
	9:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:33 Yeah, the dopey punk covers can get old. I tuned in right for the Sex Clark Five and thought it was pretty nice. I didn't know Friday was International Clash Day. I rely on my Slingshot planner to tell me about holidays and there ain't nothin'. Dang anarchists!
	9:38pm WR: I choose a bowl of soup and WFMU.
	9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Career Opportunities" by "Sex Clark Five" I just looked it up on discogs. Could be some good stuff! Jon Langford and Sally Timms do "Junco Partner," for example. www.discogs.com...
	9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ WR @9:38 Hey WR! I also choose soup and WFMU. And my friend James and watching some Simpsons.
	9:39pm chresti: I was good in sports until I started smoking and drinking
	🥁 9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: i think there are plenty of non athletic nerds into sports
	🥁 9:40pm Alex from Media: Hi all! Jumping in late due to sports related party.
	9:40pm WR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:38 Hi Wendy, sounds like sound choices.
	9:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: Alex!
	🥁 9:41pm tom tom the pipers son: they want more.... its a bottomless pit
	9:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Sandinista!" is maligned? Tells ya what I know. I love that album.
	🥁 9:41pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:40 Wendy!
	9:44pm StringOFperils: More respectable talk-box reference. Steppenwolf even.
	🥁 9:45pm Alex from Media: Saw Alice Cooper many moons ago. Had the talk box going.
	9:45pm chresti: sports activates the same part of the brain that music does
	9:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:41 it was my clash gateway (wasn't into the clash until i heard that album)
	9:47pm chresti: Oh hi!
	9:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:39 Funny, I could smoke and drink like a frickin' CHAMPION until I started jogging.
	9:47pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:45 *playing sports
	9:49pm chresti: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:47 Haha
	9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:46 Yay! I've loved The Clash since I was a wee girl, hearing "Rock the Casbah" on the FM radio. The first entire album I heard was at my friend Alex's house when I was 13. Her brother had "London Calling" on cassette. We brought it outside and played it on her boombox while we played basketball in the driveway. We bounced the ball to "Rudie Can't Fail." It's a happy memory.
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Damn, Your Booty Don't Stop" by "Timothy Edwin Sc... This is pretty awesome. Is the rest of the CD this good?
	9:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Yes. It all sounds EXACTLY like that song.
	🥁 9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: booty is a concept....
	9:54pm StringOFperils: Those jams needed some kind of tainty segue
	9:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @9:54 Hahaha!
	9:55pm chresti: I liked jogging until I tripped and fell
	🥁 9:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @9:54 like 'taint too proud to beg"...?
	9:56pm StringOFperils: Hah!
	9:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:55 During lockdown-era Covid, I got attacked by a vicious teacup poodle while jogging. It ran out, chased me, and bit my ankles several times before I turned on it and roared with my arms up like some spooky oak tree from a horror movie. I don't know if anyone else saw it happen, but it probably looked pretty funny.
	🥁 9:59pm Roberto: Well, I'm less late than usual.
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @9:59 Victories are fleeting nowadays. Take this one.
	10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 Seems like a pretty good argument against jogging, if you ask me.
	10:01pm chresti: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 Did the dog stop?
	10:01pm StringOFperils: Should have tucked it under a windshield-wiper
	🥁 10:02pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:00 And against dogs!
	🥁 10:02pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:57 I went for a jog last election day and was stung on the eyelid by a large wasp. It wasn't the only sting I felt that day.
	10:02pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @10:01 It ran away, terrified. Note that I did not kick or harm it in any way.
	10:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:02 Yee-oouch!
	🥁 10:03pm Yvang: ↳ Roberto @10:02 WASPs won that day...
	🥁 10:03pm Roberto: ↳ Yvang @10:03 Oy.
	10:04pm StringOFperils: White Christian nationalists and WASPS are stinging me to death
	10:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "How We Never Went To Bed" by "To Rococo Rot & I-S... i haz this rekkid!
	🥁 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry Frustration Over Expansive Facial Recognition Program Has One Grieving Mother’s Concerns Mounting for Migrant Children at Outdoor Holding Sites that Became a Different Kind of Suburb And Gave Insight Into Persistent Ethnic Tensions Amid The Tinge of Stained Glass Treading Carefully Over Who Will Get Colorectal Cancer This Year
	🥁 10:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:04 Excellent!
	🥁 10:05pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:02 Thanks to Climate Change, wasps were still active in November. Then a bunch of jagoffs who plan to change the climate considerably more got "elected."
	10:05pm Mike Lupica: "Who Will Get Colorectal Cancer This Year" is a DJ name just waiting for someone to pick up.
	🥁 10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: thx alex
	10:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Roberto @10:02 owie!
	🥁 10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 ha!
	🥁 10:06pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:04 The Colorectal Cancer is a glimmer of hope in this poem (it can be cured)
	🥁 10:07pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 I can tell you whoever gets it will not be who I hoped would get it.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:06 Yes, everybody please get your booty checked according to doc's instructions.
	🥁 10:08pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Holding the Dawn in Place (Beyond Pt. 2)" by "Dam... The gif is amazingly synchronized to the song.
	🥁 10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:06 you're right....technically this poem is old... i'm redoing recombining stuff from last year
	10:08pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:08 Great! And I did actually make this one.
	🥁 10:08pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:07 It's said one shouldn't wish cancer on anyone, but goddam it's hard to stick to that philosophy lately.
	10:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:02 Oh, but I love dogs!
	🥁 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 oh looks good
	🥁 10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @10:08 and it just feels redundant too..
	🥁 10:10pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:09 I do too, except the ones who run to me barking agressively.
	🥁 10:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Sixteen Days" by "Ed Kuepper & Jim White" played last week mike? real nice
	10:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:11 I think I played a different song from this album last week, no? But yes -- great album. Love Ed AND Jim.
	10:12pm chresti: ↳ Roberto @10:08 I know right? Out demons out!
	🥁 10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:12 i meant album.... : )
	🥁 10:13pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:08 I suppose in the spirit of Clarence Darrow (often misattributed to Mark Twain), there might be some diagnoses I would read with great satisfaction.
	10:13pm StringOFperils: This week is going to be off-the-charts hideous. Can cancer even get cancer?
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @10:10 Well, yeah, I draw the line there, too. I mean, if I ran to THEM barking aggressively, I'd understand why they'd respond that way. Otherwise, nope!
	10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Radio Song" by "Rose City Band" I effin' love Rose City Band.
	10:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:14 I like them, though I am having a hard time getting my head around the apparent fact that 80s Grateful Dead is the current corpse at which the buzzards of underground music are picking.
	🥁 10:17pm Roberto: ↳ StringOFperils @10:13 Good point, that's probably how these saturated-fats-guzzling shitheads have avoided it for this long.
	🥁 10:17pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Radio Song" by "Rose City Band" Rose City Band is is my calm the fuck down music.
	🥁 10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:10 @ 10:10
	10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:16 I dunno, I kinda dig it. It's a little bit Dead-y, a little bit yacht rock, and it's nice.
	10:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:17 (The whole underground direction thing.)
	🥁 10:19pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike ...you wi-i-i-lll get by....

	🥁 10:31pm Roberto: ↳ chresti @10:28 Z
	10:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:30 Around 15 years ago, I was still doing a show on the FMU mothership while doing pickup work at WNYC and starting my full-time gig as the advisor for WPRB. Picking up the phone was a crapshoot, you never knew which radio station I was gonna identify.
	🥁 10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 me @ 10:24
	10:33pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "It's Up To You" by "The Specials" I saw The Specials at The Whisky on The Sunset Strip in 1979. Notable for the last time my then girlfriend when to see music with me.
	10:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:33 Beans as in the guy from Antipop Consortium?
	🥁 10:35pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 You had a show in 2009 that I re-listened to for years. The last set was positively epic and bore repeated listening.
	🥁 10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:35 yes i think so... am i wrong?
	10:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Nice. I saw a reunion gig they did w/ members of the English Beat in 1988 or 89. Did songs by both bands, but was lots of fun despite the state fair supergroup vibe.
	10:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:35 Aww, that's nice to hear! Which show was it?
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:35 He might've worked there, but he doesn't look anything like the guy on the To Rococo Rot album cover, so I think that's someone else.

	10:39pm WR: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 Two main companies that I have worked for are both called BT. Perversely I prefer to answer the phone stating the name instead of the initials and maybe 5% of the time I answer with the name of the company that I have not worked with for nearly 35 years. And I only worked there for about 5 years.
	🥁 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: very strong fahey vibes here
	🥁 10:40pm Alex from Media: Where does that "There is no death" clip come from?
	10:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ WR @10:39 That sounds like a variation on the recurring nightmare of the college course you signed up for in the last semester but never attended and the test is tomorrow. I still have that one at least a few times a year.
	🥁 10:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:40 a little academic

	🥁 10:44pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:36 I'd have to check the archives. I recall in the final set were Duffy, Joe Pop-O-Pies, Kurt Vile, and John Lennon, among others.
	🥁 10:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:44 more than one beans hung at tonic?
	10:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:44 Nice. That sounds very on-brand for my musical taste circa 2009.
	10:47pm Mike Lupica: @NGH, did you work at Tonic?
	10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:32 I was also moonlighting as an occasional fill-in at East Village Radio back then, further adding to the call-letter confusion.
	🥁 10:50pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:45 Yup yup yup.
	10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:50 Nice. Thank you for your service!

	10:54pm WR: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Franco! As usual I greatly enjoy your assortment of avatar PICs and the pics of the concrete creatures in the park remind me: My son listens to WFMU, he is 36. On Friday he calls me and says "are you listening to the Bucci show" and I reply, "no, I rarely listen to that show." We rarely listen to the same show. He says, "there's guy who called in talking about being in a park with concrete animals and what he is saying isn't very interesting and what Bucci is saying back isn't interesting but the two together are very entertaining, hilarious." I reply, "I wonder if the caller is Franco" He says, "Who knows, I wasn't paying that close attention, but maybe, he seems to be a regular."
	🥁 10:54pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Isotope Soap" by "Geza X" Fuckin' Reagan. That's where all this shit started.
	10:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Misquote (Tiers la Familia Remix)" by "Abbie from... abbie sounding like seefeel....

	10:55pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:54 i had a lot of friends that worked at kims, but would only go once every other month.
	10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:54 hahaha right?! Kinda scathing in a good way, kinda outdated in an "I really won't play this on the radio" way.
	🥁 10:57pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I'm Sorry" by "Inflatable Boy Clams" Best apology song ever.
	10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I'm Sorry" by "Inflatable Boy Clams" I love this track! I think I first heard it cos'-a Charlie Lewis.
	10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @10:57 So genius. They were saying fuck you to the patriarchy before the patriarchy even knew it sucked.

	11:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hola, coel!
	11:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @11:02 Not sure, but that would be pretty on brand for Liz. Also, I have reason to believe that Liz sometimes LURKS on this show w/o commenting, so maybe if we all scream her name really loudly we can summon her?
	11:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:06 Hola! / Hell-o!
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ Yvang @11:02 aye!
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:09 Hi Wendy!

	11:19pm WR: Maybe three times three? LIZ! LIZ! LIZ! ?
	🥁 11:20pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Native Waiter" by "The Victor Dimisich Band" I thought it was Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Something in the voice.

	🥁 11:25pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Working Class Woman" by "Barbara Dane" I have another LP sleeve which pairs well with this one www.discogs.com...
	🥁 11:25pm Liz Berg: Have I been summoned?
	11:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @11:22 I don't think I'd like Liz Truss to appear. But I've nothing against black pudding.
	🥁 11:26pm Yvang: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 Hi Liz Berg!
	11:26pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 Holy shit, it worked! Good job, pitcrew!
	11:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 Hey Liz Berg!!! (nice work, everyone!)
	11:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:25 It may take a while for people to regain their composure so I will re-up the original question: Did you ever use the song "Launderette" by Vivien Goldman as talkover music? This is a thing that WFMU's Sunday Night Pitcrew needs to know.
	11:27pm northguineahills: heyza liz!
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:26 haha Hi Liz Berg!

	🥁 11:31pm Roberto: Wait, what?? Liz freakin' Berg is here?
	11:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Hexenzsene" by "Unwound" That gif almost looks like the phone room at the station.
	11:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:29 What a day -- I had lunch with Scott Williams and now Liz Berg is up in my playlist chat. WHAT'S NEXT, MOSUROCK AT THE VINCE LOMBARDI REST AREA?
	11:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:32 That's Jabberjaw -- so probably has some of the same smells, if nothing else.
	11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:33 How... uh... "nice" for them.
	11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, this is my stop. Time for me to get ready for bed. Thanks a bunch, Mike! G'night, everyone. Take care of your fine selves.

	🥁 11:39pm Liz Berg: Enjoying these fine sounds tonight with you fine people! Hope everyone is hanging in there. Marveling at the footage of folks wilding in the streets of Philly.
	11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Liz Berg @11:39 I'm not surprised, but also a little scared to look. Is it, like, good natured wilding, or are they burning shit down?
	🥁 11:41pm Roberto: Hey Liz. remember 2015 mascot Dusty the Chinchilla? She's still with us nearly 10 years later!
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:35 nightnight

	11:48pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:47 Yeah, that's some nightmare fuel for sure.
	11:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Tarnished" by "Dalek" jersey's finest, and also collabed w/ faust!
	11:49pm StringOFperils: Didn't think I was going to make it there, but Sleestak revived me.
	11:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @11:49 And performed live on this show three (or maybe four?) times! (I'm sure that's right up there with. the Faust collab in their minds....😉)
	11:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:49 Excellent. My plan is working perfectly.
	🥁 11:53pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:47 We tried to get Izzy to enter the mascot competition but she was too derpy to hold the WFMU membership card.
