Listener comments!
	3:02pm kat330: One of the finest "get happy!" tunes. Hi, Kurt!
	3:02pm DCE: oh I hated to hear that Deerhoof faded out like that...but it's your show, DJKG.
	3:08pm DJKG: yeah, i shoulda told him to let the deerhoof roll, but i was too busy cuing a scratchy record. hello everyone!
	3:12pm kat330: Composer KURTág, appropriate enough, but it's crashing my revved Nash rambler.
	3:16pm hamburger: interesting violin
	3:16pm fred: Good afternoon Kurt and kat330, hello again DCE Not the first time I hear something I like from that Pieces from the Past CD...
	3:17pm kat330: Allo, Fred!
	3:19pm hamburger: I forgot how the violin can be so dramatic
	3:21pm Cheri Pi: Hey DJKG!
	3:23pm kat330: @hamburger: It's really like a tortured soul, a dramatic monologue.
	3:26pm hamburger: there's a yann tiersen video on youtube I saw doing sur le fil where he just destroys his bow strings - very coo
	3:28pm kat330: Or the opposite of "coo"? ;) Low spark of a high coo....
	3:29pm hamburger: A haiku?
	3:30pm northguineahills: Wow, this is new (Corner/Goldstein)!
	3:33pm DCE: slow down, Johnny!
	3:33pm kat330: Yep, a haiku.
	3:34pm DCE: well, hey, we're all special in some way.
	3:39pm hamburger: @DCE: Yep. Apart from THAT guy.... nothing special going on there....
	3:40pm kat330: He's really revved up.
	3:45pm common: It's mesmerizing.
	3:56pm fred: Since DJKG mentioned Cage, I have a question: I remember hearing a vocal piece recorded in Italy where the boos and catcalls get louder and louder, and he obviously played with that. But I can't remember what it was. Does that ring a bell?
	3:56pm kat330: The piece entirely of silence, maybe?
	3:59pm Cheri Pi: this is badass.
	4:00pm kat330: @fred: Well, obviously if there were a vocal, then NOT the silence piece. Pardonnez-moi.
	4:00pm fred: No, there was voice, and at one point it stops, you can hear the audience's relief and as it starts again the hostility just jumps a few notches.
	4:01pm Carmichael: Hey Kurt, hi everyone. Seems to be a Friday afternoon. Yay!
	4:01pm kat330: Messages crossing in the ether, fred. :)
	4:03pm fred: @kat330: that was close enough, because that pause was silence. I talked about that piece at work today, I'd like to find it. I know it's somewhere in the archives...
	4:06pm DJKG: fred, maybe you're thinking of dylan at newport?
	4:06pm kat330: Not surprising but the rockin' animation isn't fitting with the set tempos so much today.
	4:07pm kat330: Heh! Yes, plenty of boos and catcalls, but I don't think Dylan "played with it" all that much.
	4:09pm northguineahills: Haven't heard this yet, and I automatically recognized it as Om.
	4:13pm fred: I think the piece used long vowels, and the insults sounded Italian. Oh well, I thought this show might have been where I heard it. Fabio maybe? Or Kenny G?
	4:14pm kat330: A thought no doubt of little merit, but I was musing the other day how so much of band vocals in the past 1-2 decades are of unison singing, even if two different octaves (like TV on the Radio, etc.). Harmony missing in the music world corresponding to anything in the Zeitgeist?
	4:18pm DJKG: fred, i don't know the piece, but it does sound familiar. there's a lot to peruse at johncage.info, but you might be able to find the info there.
	4:19pm DJKG: funny how johnny nash looks like he can be in motorhead if the right song is playing.
	4:24pm chris m.: this Earth song is my jam from way back in the day. thanks Kurt!
	4:25pm DJKG: yay chris!
	4:29pm kat330: OK, NOW Johnny's in rhythm.
	4:29pm Cheri Pi: I'm gonna listen to that Earth LP when I get home from work!!!
	4:30pm Cheri Pi: I love this.
	4:31pm DCE: aw, such a sad song title. somebody loves you, Litany. :(
	4:32pm DCE: emoticons are in blackface on this comment board :(
	4:35pm kat330: Miniature Minotaurs Minstrels & Minnesota Jeff Show w/DJKG.
	4:37pm kat330: ♫♫♫ Can I hear a mi-mi-mi-mi from the all-unison chorus? ♫♫♫
	4:40pm fred: Found it, thanks to johncage.it! It's called "Empty Words". Not vowels actually, just disconnected words: http://goo.gl/J8u1w According to the archives, it seems I heard it on Vicki's show
	4:42pm DJKG: oh! empty words! yeah, that's an interesting piece. i think it's being performed in nyc coming up.
	4:50pm northguineahills: Nice segue, Kurt! (missed the first 10 minutes as I was gardening in the daylight.)
	4:50pm common: Friday!!! Beer Day!!!
	4:51pm fred: I'm afraid the audience will be too respectful. I saw a nice performance this year as part of the centenary, it felt weird: the scientific director of the lab where I work was seated right behind me
	4:54pm DJKG: fred, yes, i understand. i'm doing a cage piece in a couple weeks and i'm going to request that audience members leave their cell phones on with the ringers turned up, but not to answer them.
	4:55pm kat330: @DJKG: Even the medical doctors?
	4:56pm northguineahills: I saw a Cage piece at Tonic a while back that was performed by a polite "new" music ensemble, and it was way too perfect (musicians were conservatory trained, etc), and it killed for me.
	4:56pm DJKG: yes, even the doctors can leave their phones on.
	4:56pm kat330: Could offer an interesting side performance piece on "who's most popular with the most calls." ;)
	4:56pm fred: That's a splendid idea!
	4:56pm DJKG: oh, not answering. well what am i gonna do, slap them if the take the call?
	4:57pm kat330: I meant, the doctors may not answer them?
	4:58pm kat330: Ships passing again. The Litany of the Whale....
	4:58pm fred: @DJKG: but you shouldn't talk about it that much, Ken and Andy might steal it for their show
	4:59pm kat330: @fred: Or anyone reading this now might "rig" the performance by having someone auto-dial them every minute or so.
	5:00pm DJKG: the cell phone thing? they can do it if they want.
	5:01pm DJKG: kat, that's true. i'd actually thought of that but figured it wouldn't be too likely since no one would until they got the program. guess i blew that. ok, nobody do that!
	5:01pm fred: @NGH: I saw that too often as well, and the opposite too: people who just slap a "Cage tribute" sticker while they do their usual stuff with a sprinkle of antics.
	5:04pm kat330: [majikat says "pooof!"] Now the whole conversation never happened, Kurt.
	5:05pm fred: @DJKG: will you leave your own phone on?
	5:06pm fred: @kat330: oops! Bad cross this time, did I jinx your spell?
	5:07pm DJKG: should i delete my own comment from the record?
	5:08pm DJKG: i would leave my phone on but i'll be using a stopwatch app and the ringer interrupts it.
	5:08pm kat330: @fred: What's another "poooof" for majikat? [poooof!]
	5:09pm fred: I guess now I have to confess that the lab in Paris where I work is called IRCAM
	5:09pm kat330: @DJKG: Depends on how much traffic you think you get on this playlist -- of people within the NYC area.
	5:10pm kat330: @fred: Are you going to have to kill us all now?
	5:11pm northguineahills: Lol!
	5:12pm fred: Do you really think anyone working there has that kind of budget?
	5:12pm mark vt: Does anyone here sneeze at times when eyes exposed to sunlight or other bright light?
	5:13pm kat330: Chant: Emancypunkx Phil of Punxsutawney!
	5:13pm fred: @mark vt: I do, twice
	5:14pm northguineahills: Yes, it has happened to me since I was a wee one. If I ever need to get a sneeze out, I stare at a bright light (not too bright). My father has the same reaction.
	5:14pm DJKG: i sneeze, yes. john denver cries.
	5:15pm kat330: Odd you should ask, Mark. My man, Monsieur Gristle, is a sunlight sneezer. I think he quite enjoys the experience since he won't wear sunglasses very often.
	5:16pm kat330: My sneezing -- which is considerable in Ohio Valley August -- is only from everything else BUT sunlight.
	5:17pm Xeroz: I've heard before that the tilting of the head upwards is whats helpful when needing to sneeze... I've always enjoyed sneezing, i think.
	5:17pm Chinchilla: The Ani-Nash is really rockin now!
	5:19pm DJKG: one of my favorite things in the world is the reason behind head tilting connoting confusion. anyone know that story?
	5:20pm kat330: If there were ever a quorum of women on these lists, we might discover if it's only or mainly males who sneeze at the sun. Our lovely Sol is nothing to sneeze at, btw. ;)
	5:21pm DJKG: the head tilt is left over from hunting days. you listen once and then reposition your ears and listen again to help triangulate on a sound. dogs do it a lot. i love that.
	5:22pm kat330: I've heard that shifting one's eyes up and R. (or L.?) connotes someone lying. But it also is standard when trying to recall something. Like fishing for a file drawer in the brain.
	5:23pm Xeroz: so I suppose all those teens playing shoot-em-ups on their headphones could really relate!
	5:24pm fred: @DJKG: I didn't know that. Then again one of my ears doesn't work, so I can't tell where a sound comes from
	5:24pm kat330: Hunting and fishing. Well, I'm gathering and, in fact, need to scuttle out to the garden for some din-din dinguses.
	5:29pm mark vt: I ask about the sneezing thing because a couple years ago I heard station manager Ken had this. Plus some other people at wfmu. I tried to organize a quick sneeze fest break at the record fair. Ken could not sneeze and Clay P was there and didn't have this issue. Thinking about doing it again this record fair.
	5:31pm mark vt: Oh. About a third of humans have this capability. It is genetic. Something to do with some nerves in the face that cross in some people with eye and nose nerves.
	5:32pm dc p@: I sure missed a lot here--for the record, I sneeze every time the sun hits my eyes. Hence the constant need for sun glasses..
	5:37pm northguineahills: I love Gruenrekorder Recs!
	5:38pm northguineahills: I sneeze on cue if I go from a dark space to a very bright.
	5:39pm the glowing one: I sneeze when I stick something up my nose
	5:40pm kat330: Back. Say, Fred, very impressive your IRCAM! We are fortunate to be in your FMU presence! :)
	5:40pm fred: @mark vt: since you did some research, is my double sneezing genetic too? It's always twice in that situation
	5:41pm kat330: Joni, here? Thank you, DJKG! Actually, thanks all ways for this afternoon's sunshine and shadow! Good weekends, everyone!
	5:41pm mark vt: I was trying to think if why I thought if that here in Kurt's forum. Then I realized it was because people were talking about iPhone apps. I wondered if an app could be made, a sneeze app that you stare at and makes you sneeze. Maybe I should test this out on one of those flashlight apps.
	5:42pm kat330: @mark: Do animals, dogs for e.g., also have that genetic trait? I'm thinking I've noticed dogs sneezing when looking upwards on a sunny day.
	5:43pm fred: @kat330: I'm afraid the history is more impressive than the reality. But my telling about the scientific director at a Cage concert was misleading in light of DJKG talking about Boulez. I'm just a geek there, nothing to be fortunate about
	5:44pm kat330: And I still haven't noticed a female's name mentioned. I believe we are possessed of more powerful olfactory equipment, so maybe that interferes with the trait for sun-sneezing.
	5:46pm kat330: @fred: I suppose there's an irony with some hearing loss to be working at IRCAM?
	5:46pm mark vt: Wonder if squirting and sneezing are genetically intertwined in women.
	5:48pm kat330: You've lost me, mark.
	5:48pm fred: @kat330: Where are Cecile and Cheri? BTW, the station is a big part of how I ended up working there, and that's not really hearing loss: I was born that way, so there was nothing to lose
	5:50pm Mr. Potato Head: ALMOST 6 O'clock baby!!!!! I AM PUMMMPED!!! LOL
	5:50pm other david: The perfect soundtrack to a most befuddling day, thanks for the show KG! ahoy kat, fred and everyone
	5:52pm kat330: Heya, OD! :)
	5:53pm Mr. Potato Head: only 7 minutes left!!!!! YAY!!!
	5:54pm mark vt: Seems there are all sorts of scientific correlations to think about being connected to "sun" sneezing. wonder if the percentage of wfmu listeners with this "ease" as it is not a disease but rather pleasant and useful, is higher than the public.
	5:54pm northguineahills: My olfactory sensors are beyond compare. Very, sensitive and accurate. However, I inherited my sense if smell from my mom.
	5:55pm northguineahills: if=of
	5:55pm kat330: If your poll here is any indication, it certainly seems more than 1/3 among FMU males
	5:55pm Roadkill: +Thanks for the listening... RK
	5:56pm Mr. Potato Head: FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! PUUUUUUUMPED!!!!!
	5:56pm kat330: @NGH: I figured as much! (Check out Steinski's list for my Opa! pita sandwich today.)
	5:57pm kat330: Goodbye, sneezers and nons! T&GC!
	5:57pm fred: Another nice show DJKG, hear you next week! @kat 330: now that's a small sample size
	5:57pm northguineahills: I saw the pita sandwich, I was just never around my laptop to comment. have a great weekend kat!
	5:58pm kat330: :) Love you all!
	5:59pm mark vt: Thanks, Kurt. Always one of the best part of my Friday afternoons.

	5:09pm fred: I guess now I have to confess that the lab in Paris where I work is called IRCAM
	5:09pm kat330: @DJKG: Depends on how much traffic you think you get on this playlist -- of people within the NYC area.
	5:10pm kat330: @fred: Are you going to have to kill us all now?
	5:11pm northguineahills: Lol!
	5:12pm fred: Do you really think anyone working there has that kind of budget?
	5:12pm mark vt: Does anyone here sneeze at times when eyes exposed to sunlight or other bright light?
	5:13pm kat330: Chant: Emancypunkx Phil of Punxsutawney!
	5:13pm fred: @mark vt: I do, twice
	5:14pm northguineahills: Yes, it has happened to me since I was a wee one. If I ever need to get a sneeze out, I stare at a bright light (not too bright). My father has the same reaction.
	5:14pm DJKG: i sneeze, yes. john denver cries.
	5:15pm kat330: Odd you should ask, Mark. My man, Monsieur Gristle, is a sunlight sneezer. I think he quite enjoys the experience since he won't wear sunglasses very often.
	5:16pm kat330: My sneezing -- which is considerable in Ohio Valley August -- is only from everything else BUT sunlight.
	5:17pm Xeroz: I've heard before that the tilting of the head upwards is whats helpful when needing to sneeze... I've always enjoyed sneezing, i think.
	5:17pm Chinchilla: The Ani-Nash is really rockin now!
	5:19pm DJKG: one of my favorite things in the world is the reason behind head tilting connoting confusion. anyone know that story?
	5:20pm kat330: If there were ever a quorum of women on these lists, we might discover if it's only or mainly males who sneeze at the sun. Our lovely Sol is nothing to sneeze at, btw. ;)
	5:21pm DJKG: the head tilt is left over from hunting days. you listen once and then reposition your ears and listen again to help triangulate on a sound. dogs do it a lot. i love that.
	5:22pm kat330: I've heard that shifting one's eyes up and R. (or L.?) connotes someone lying. But it also is standard when trying to recall something. Like fishing for a file drawer in the brain.
	5:23pm Xeroz: so I suppose all those teens playing shoot-em-ups on their headphones could really relate!
	5:24pm fred: @DJKG: I didn't know that. Then again one of my ears doesn't work, so I can't tell where a sound comes from
	5:24pm kat330: Hunting and fishing. Well, I'm gathering and, in fact, need to scuttle out to the garden for some din-din dinguses.
	5:29pm mark vt: I ask about the sneezing thing because a couple years ago I heard station manager Ken had this. Plus some other people at wfmu. I tried to organize a quick sneeze fest break at the record fair. Ken could not sneeze and Clay P was there and didn't have this issue. Thinking about doing it again this record fair.
	5:31pm mark vt: Oh. About a third of humans have this capability. It is genetic. Something to do with some nerves in the face that cross in some people with eye and nose nerves.
	5:32pm dc p@: I sure missed a lot here--for the record, I sneeze every time the sun hits my eyes. Hence the constant need for sun glasses..
	5:37pm northguineahills: I love Gruenrekorder Recs!
	5:38pm northguineahills: I sneeze on cue if I go from a dark space to a very bright.
	5:39pm the glowing one: I sneeze when I stick something up my nose
	5:40pm kat330: Back. Say, Fred, very impressive your IRCAM! We are fortunate to be in your FMU presence! :)
	5:40pm fred: @mark vt: since you did some research, is my double sneezing genetic too? It's always twice in that situation
	5:41pm kat330: Joni, here? Thank you, DJKG! Actually, thanks all ways for this afternoon's sunshine and shadow! Good weekends, everyone!
	5:41pm mark vt: I was trying to think if why I thought if that here in Kurt's forum. Then I realized it was because people were talking about iPhone apps. I wondered if an app could be made, a sneeze app that you stare at and makes you sneeze. Maybe I should test this out on one of those flashlight apps.
	5:42pm kat330: @mark: Do animals, dogs for e.g., also have that genetic trait? I'm thinking I've noticed dogs sneezing when looking upwards on a sunny day.
	5:43pm fred: @kat330: I'm afraid the history is more impressive than the reality. But my telling about the scientific director at a Cage concert was misleading in light of DJKG talking about Boulez. I'm just a geek there, nothing to be fortunate about
	5:44pm kat330: And I still haven't noticed a female's name mentioned. I believe we are possessed of more powerful olfactory equipment, so maybe that interferes with the trait for sun-sneezing.
	5:46pm kat330: @fred: I suppose there's an irony with some hearing loss to be working at IRCAM?
	5:46pm mark vt: Wonder if squirting and sneezing are genetically intertwined in women.
	5:48pm kat330: You've lost me, mark.
	5:48pm fred: @kat330: Where are Cecile and Cheri? BTW, the station is a big part of how I ended up working there, and that's not really hearing loss: I was born that way, so there was nothing to lose
	5:50pm Mr. Potato Head: ALMOST 6 O'clock baby!!!!! I AM PUMMMPED!!! LOL
	5:50pm other david: The perfect soundtrack to a most befuddling day, thanks for the show KG! ahoy kat, fred and everyone
	5:52pm kat330: Heya, OD! :)
	5:53pm Mr. Potato Head: only 7 minutes left!!!!! YAY!!!
	5:54pm mark vt: Seems there are all sorts of scientific correlations to think about being connected to "sun" sneezing. wonder if the percentage of wfmu listeners with this "ease" as it is not a disease but rather pleasant and useful, is higher than the public.
	5:54pm northguineahills: My olfactory sensors are beyond compare. Very, sensitive and accurate. However, I inherited my sense if smell from my mom.
	5:55pm northguineahills: if=of
	5:55pm kat330: If your poll here is any indication, it certainly seems more than 1/3 among FMU males
	5:55pm Roadkill: +Thanks for the listening... RK
	5:56pm Mr. Potato Head: FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! FRANGRY!! PUUUUUUUMPED!!!!!
	5:56pm kat330: @NGH: I figured as much! (Check out Steinski's list for my Opa! pita sandwich today.)
	5:57pm kat330: Goodbye, sneezers and nons! T&GC!
	5:57pm fred: Another nice show DJKG, hear you next week! @kat 330: now that's a small sample size
	5:57pm northguineahills: I saw the pita sandwich, I was just never around my laptop to comment. have a great weekend kat!
	5:58pm kat330: :) Love you all!
	5:59pm mark vt: Thanks, Kurt. Always one of the best part of my Friday afternoons.
