	7:37pm Listener Gregory: Gary, if you want to check out jazz Afro-futurism some day, see the wonderful flutist Nicole Mitchell, who has done some records inspired by novelist Octavia Butler.
	7:39pm Jill B.: Good evenng Gary. Just stopping by to say Hi!

	♥ 7:49pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @7:46 I think I saw a reference to a new techno doc somewhere -- tho I don't think it's connected necessarily with this book
	7:50pm Dean: Great tip, mic_a. I've forwarded it to a professor friend of mine who teaches about countercultures, inter alia. And I just forwarded this marvelous quote from Marx, Capital v.1, to another friend. It's from the beginning of ch.15, incl. a footnote: "John Stuart Mill says in his Principles of Political Economy: 'It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day's toil of any human being.'" Note: "Mill should have said, 'of any human being not fed by other people's labour,' for there is no doubt that machinery has greatly increased the number of distinguished idlers."

	7:52pm TDK60: Great stuff tonight, deejay Gary!
	7:54pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Njombi" by "Franck Biyong" I like this!
	8:02pm TDK60: A song I recall Irene T. played recently might fit here. An Alfa Mist song "Apho" (feat. Bongeziwe Mabandla); album "Variables" On her show from Dec. 2nd. For laters...
	8:02pm mic_a: Did I ever tell the story of the first time I heard "Planet Rock"? Stop me if I did.
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: ↳ TDK60 @8:02 Nice, I'll take a listen
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @8:02 I don't think you did
	♥ 8:03pm chresti: ↳ TDK60 @7:20 Hola TDK60\\// I'll be switching to the herbal portion of the day now.
	8:08pm TDK60: ↳ chresti @8:03 Bless the herbalists and their packaging elves. \\//

	♥ 8:08pm spodiodi: Greetings, Gary and bodega folks
	♥ 8:08pm spodiodi: hi chresti!\\//
	♥ 8:08pm Gary: Spodiodi!
	♥ 8:09pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	8:12pm Carmichael: Heya Gary. Great workout music 🎼
	♥ 8:12pm Gary: Carmichael!
	♥ 8:13pm chresti: ↳ TDK60 @8:08 The good elves.
	8:14pm TDK60: \\// Hi spodi. The Future ain't gonna tolerate no flimflam babylon man. So I have decreed..
	8:14pm mic_a: Summer 1982 -- a weekday afternoon -- a friend and I are driving through a creepy business park zone on an outer perimeter of Philly (he's doing some errands for his mother's business). WDAS on the radio, as was often the case, and this new song comes on. Our jaws were quickly dropped and ears wide open. "This... this... this has EVERYthing!" "Even Kraftwerk!!" The dj segued both sides, and it seemed like it went on for miles and miles. Back home that night, I hurried out to my local record store, and praise Tommy Boy! -- they had it. It's good to remember how amazing it can be to hear a real ground-breaking record.
	8:14pm Dean: Some of this is reminiscent of the great Nik Pascal, a.k.a. Nik Rejcavik (sp. more or less), whose albums featured these bonkers covers with a big flourescent sticker reading, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU ARE STONED.
	♥ 8:15pm spodiodi: aloha, TDK60\\// hear, hear.
	8:15pm northguineahills: so far, everyone but moor mother and gaffaci are new to me!
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @8:14 Those are rare magical moments
	8:17pm Dean: And speaking of "Black experiences in industrialized labor systems" (the Brown book), I recently took a peek at this intriguing volume: https://www.maxrambod.com/details.php?record=21279&jump=1
	8:18pm mic_a: 1982 was an amazing summer for hip hop innovation. "The Message" came out almost immediately after "Planet Rock".
	8:22pm mic_a: Oh... that's a PiL riff there.
	8:22pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Osage" by "Elucid" PiL sample ?!
	8:23pm Dean: I have yet to read Tell Me How Long The Train's Been Gone.
	8:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:23 the last track was reminding me of that (at least the audio doc)
	♥ 8:32pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Osage" by "Elucid" Pow!
	8:33pm Dean: Yeah, ngh, though I was a little queasy about the language uttered about "queers." Yet I think I'm only so because I'm supposed to be so. I don't give much of a good fuck about any language that anybody uses. (This is where I part ways with Catharine MacKinnon, for example.)
	8:34pm Dean: Names aren't likely ever to hurt me.
	8:35pm Dean: "Osage" is an attractive word. I wonder if this is what's meant by Elucid: "An established or recognized mode of procedure, action, or conduct; a custom or practice; spec. one which has force of law."
	♥ 8:36pm chresti: Dean for president!
	8:37pm Listener Gregory: I just realized (too late) that I should have turned off the show and listened to it next week! This will all reach its apex in the future.
	8:37pm Dean: Well, goddammit, chresti, I ran for president last election, and nobody voted for me. Get out there and campaign!
	8:41pm Dean: And I ran on the "Elevate White Trash" platform.
	8:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Zétwal An Mwen (Sagittarius B2 Vibes)" by "iShang... ahhh, i've heard of !shango sound!
	8:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:37 so, you forgot to vote for yourself? /there's a simpsons for that...
	8:52pm Dean: I don't vote. Matter of principle.
	8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Boss" by "TCHOPDYE" camerooni grime!
	8:53pm Dean: Nor do I pay any attention to The Simpsons. Matter of principle.
	8:53pm TDK60: In The Future we appoint Harriet Tubman and Toussaint L.'Overture to commandin' the Interstellar Blimp Fleet of Freedom with solar powered ray guns that fire ultra-concentrated opium bullets. Then, James Baldwin can beam down to negotiate the apartheidists' surrender. k?
	8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:53 oh yeah, well i don't own a teevee and i want everyone to know that! ;)
	♥ 8:54pm chresti: Only a dollar tuition
	8:54pm Dean: Thank you, TDK60. Add Shirley Chisholm to the mix, please. That's my compromise position.
	8:56pm Dean: You miss my point, ngh. I have never liked Groening's work, ever, even in LA Reader days. I can't detect the talent. It's my problem.
	♥ 8:56pm WR: thank you! Gary! another nearly all new-to-me and I dig it episode. Many thanks.
	8:57pm mic_a: Thanks Gary. G'night and good wishes everyone.
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Is it over??? I’m not done yet.
	♥ 8:59pm chresti: Yeah where are you going?
	♥ 8:59pm WR: ↳ chresti @8:59 into the shower FYI
	♥ 9:01pm chresti: Take the program with you!
	9:01pm Listener Gregory: Gary’s show is perfect for showering!
	♥ 9:02pm Gary: Goodnight and Good Showers to those who must go or wash!
	9:02pm Listener Gregory: Gary, you asked if we are curious. People have said that I’m curious, but I don’t think they meant, you know, inquisitive. Any advice?
	♥ 9:06pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:02 We're ad-free here at WFMU, Gregory! But, vice ...? Mmmh ...
	9:14pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Mtjelekwane" by "Ziyawakazitha" Abjectly lacking adequate speakers. ALAS.
	♥ 9:14pm Gary: Still b/p!
	9:15pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @9:06 Curiouser and curiouser.
	9:17pm TDK60: Reiteratin' my praises for sounds tonight, Selector. The Future is now well-equipped with musico-spiritual audio shields against the infernal plans of tyranny. Or something like that.
	9:21pm Dean: The past is pretty cool, too. Worth revisiting.
	9:24pm TDK60: Dean: Of course, that's why history books are being banned. History is pretty darn rad, back there, it is. All those ungratefuls demandin' more.
	♥ 9:27pm chresti: Yay music!
	9:27pm Dean: "Are being banned"? Always have been, haven't they? As much as it's hard for us to swallow, we are not special by virtue of being alive at just this moment.
	♥ 9:31pm spodiodi: sssssssssss
	9:43pm tim abdellah: Going to get my hands dirty with some fish tacos, so I'll stop typing. Great time traveling forward with y'all tonite! Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:44pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Cadavere" by "Pierre Kwenders" Cadaver?
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Women! Children! Old guys! Stick around after this for Sam Segal's always-already terrific If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: "An Old Joy Returns in Holy Horse" wfmu.org...
	9:47pm Dean: Where, tim? I'm heading to NW corner of Gilman & San Pablo, the liquor store where a pretty good taco grill is set up.
	9:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Cosmic Blues" by "Shunaji" Groovy!
	♥ 9:54pm spodiodi: Thanks for the great music, Gary!
	9:54pm TDK60: Fine show. Thanks Gary.
	♥ 9:58pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:58pm WR: clean version: thank you! Gary! another nearly all new-to-me and I dig it episode. Many thanks.
	9:58pm still b/p: Thanks -- nice show. Eager to check parts I missed while diverted by gyoza prep.
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: Great show for the future, Gary. Thanks a lot.
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Goodnight and thanks, everyone!

WDAS on the radio, as was often the case, and this new song comes on. Our jaws were quickly dropped and ears wide open. "This... this... this has EVERYthing!" "Even Kraftwerk!!" The dj segued both sides, and it seemed like it went on for miles and miles. Back home that night, I hurried out to my local record store, and praise Tommy Boy! -- they had it. It's good to remember how amazing it can be to hear a real ground-breaking record.
	8:14pm Dean: Some of this is reminiscent of the great Nik Pascal, a.k.a. Nik Rejcavik (sp. more or less), whose albums featured these bonkers covers with a big flourescent sticker reading, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU ARE STONED.
	♥ 8:15pm spodiodi: aloha, TDK60\\// hear, hear.
	8:15pm northguineahills: so far, everyone but moor mother and gaffaci are new to me!
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @8:14 Those are rare magical moments
	8:17pm Dean: And speaking of "Black experiences in industrialized labor systems" (the Brown book), I recently took a peek at this intriguing volume: https://www.maxrambod.com/details.php?record=21279&jump=1
	8:18pm mic_a: 1982 was an amazing summer for hip hop innovation. "The Message" came out almost immediately after "Planet Rock".
	8:22pm mic_a: Oh... that's a PiL riff there.
	8:22pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Osage" by "Elucid" PiL sample ?!
	8:23pm Dean: I have yet to read Tell Me How Long The Train's Been Gone.
	8:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:23 the last track was reminding me of that (at least the audio doc)
	♥ 8:32pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Osage" by "Elucid" Pow!
	8:33pm Dean: Yeah, ngh, though I was a little queasy about the language uttered about "queers." Yet I think I'm only so because I'm supposed to be so. I don't give much of a good fuck about any language that anybody uses. (This is where I part ways with Catharine MacKinnon, for example.)
	8:34pm Dean: Names aren't likely ever to hurt me.
	8:35pm Dean: "Osage" is an attractive word. I wonder if this is what's meant by Elucid: "An established or recognized mode of procedure, action, or conduct; a custom or practice; spec. one which has force of law."
	♥ 8:36pm chresti: Dean for president!
	8:37pm Listener Gregory: I just realized (too late) that I should have turned off the show and listened to it next week! This will all reach its apex in the future.
	8:37pm Dean: Well, goddammit, chresti, I ran for president last election, and nobody voted for me. Get out there and campaign!
	8:41pm Dean: And I ran on the "Elevate White Trash" platform.
	8:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Zétwal An Mwen (Sagittarius B2 Vibes)" by "iShang... ahhh, i've heard of !shango sound!
	8:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:37 so, you forgot to vote for yourself? /there's a simpsons for that...
	8:52pm Dean: I don't vote. Matter of principle.
	8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Boss" by "TCHOPDYE" camerooni grime!
	8:53pm Dean: Nor do I pay any attention to The Simpsons. Matter of principle.
	8:53pm TDK60: In The Future we appoint Harriet Tubman and Toussaint L.'Overture to commandin' the Interstellar Blimp Fleet of Freedom with solar powered ray guns that fire ultra-concentrated opium bullets. Then, James Baldwin can beam down to negotiate the apartheidists' surrender. k?
	8:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:53 oh yeah, well i don't own a teevee and i want everyone to know that! ;)
	♥ 8:54pm chresti: Only a dollar tuition
	8:54pm Dean: Thank you, TDK60. Add Shirley Chisholm to the mix, please. That's my compromise position.
	8:56pm Dean: You miss my point, ngh. I have never liked Groening's work, ever, even in LA Reader days. I can't detect the talent. It's my problem.
	♥ 8:56pm WR: thank you! Gary! another nearly all new-to-me and I dig it episode. Many thanks.
	8:57pm mic_a: Thanks Gary. G'night and good wishes everyone.
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: Is it over??? I’m not done yet.
	♥ 8:59pm chresti: Yeah where are you going?
	♥ 8:59pm WR: ↳ chresti @8:59 into the shower FYI
	♥ 9:01pm chresti: Take the program with you!
	9:01pm Listener Gregory: Gary’s show is perfect for showering!
	♥ 9:02pm Gary: Goodnight and Good Showers to those who must go or wash!
	9:02pm Listener Gregory: Gary, you asked if we are curious. People have said that I’m curious, but I don’t think they meant, you know, inquisitive. Any advice?
	♥ 9:06pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:02 We're ad-free here at WFMU, Gregory! But, vice ...? Mmmh ...
	9:14pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Mtjelekwane" by "Ziyawakazitha" Abjectly lacking adequate speakers. ALAS.
	♥ 9:14pm Gary: Still b/p!
	9:15pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @9:06 Curiouser and curiouser.
	9:17pm TDK60: Reiteratin' my praises for sounds tonight, Selector. The Future is now well-equipped with musico-spiritual audio shields against the infernal plans of tyranny. Or something like that.
	9:21pm Dean: The past is pretty cool, too. Worth revisiting.
	9:24pm TDK60: Dean: Of course, that's why history books are being banned. History is pretty darn rad, back there, it is. All those ungratefuls demandin' more.
	♥ 9:27pm chresti: Yay music!
	9:27pm Dean: "Are being banned"? Always have been, haven't they? As much as it's hard for us to swallow, we are not special by virtue of being alive at just this moment.
	♥ 9:31pm spodiodi: sssssssssss
	9:43pm tim abdellah: Going to get my hands dirty with some fish tacos, so I'll stop typing. Great time traveling forward with y'all tonite! Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:44pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Cadavere" by "Pierre Kwenders" Cadaver?
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Women! Children! Old guys! Stick around after this for Sam Segal's always-already terrific If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: "An Old Joy Returns in Holy Horse" wfmu.org...
	9:47pm Dean: Where, tim? I'm heading to NW corner of Gilman & San Pablo, the liquor store where a pretty good taco grill is set up.
	9:53pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Cosmic Blues" by "Shunaji" Groovy!
	♥ 9:54pm spodiodi: Thanks for the great music, Gary!
	9:54pm TDK60: Fine show. Thanks Gary.
	♥ 9:58pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:58pm WR: clean version: thank you! Gary! another nearly all new-to-me and I dig it episode. Many thanks.
	9:58pm still b/p: Thanks -- nice show. Eager to check parts I missed while diverted by gyoza prep.
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: Great show for the future, Gary. Thanks a lot.
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Goodnight and thanks, everyone!
