	♥ 9:02am trouble: hello and hello
	9:02am kat330: @trouble: Toothpaste theme, eh? Late Sunday night, Philo comes from the bathroom and tells me to see what's happened. The upper sink area is covered in toothpaste foam the color of your playlist archives! Somehow the canister cap wedged against its push-down top and emptied the entire contents.
	9:03am kat330: Hi, by the way!
	♥ 9:03am annie: another tuesday off!!
	9:03am kat330: Hi, Annie!
	9:04am βrian: Good Morning. Blue skies over the isthmus. The lake is frozen.
	9:05am kat330: And while it's a fact "you can't get the toothpaste back in the tube," you can scoop it into a ziplock baggie. ;)
	♥ 9:05am Parq: Looks good. Easy to read, too.
	9:06am βrian: I've heard of reading tea leaves. But toothpaste?
	9:07am kat330: @βrian: Heh, it was quite the sight. Dag, should have taken a photo.
	9:08am Van in DC: Holy retinal burn ;) Good morning trouble and peoples.
	♥ 9:09am annie: good morning Kat, et al.!
	9:09am Bad Ronald: Why is it called "Tooth Paste" and not "Dental Cleanser"?
	9:09am suzy: Yay! Happy to catch the show live this week. Hello from grey, chilly Berlin.
	9:13am kat330: @Suzy: This song's for you!
	9:13am suzy: Coincidence? I think not! I'm a sucker for Suzie-Q in any version available.
	9:13am seang: charlotte
	9:15am suzy: Awww! Very sweet, Trouble! (blush)
	9:15am βrian: Un frisson de Charlotte !
	9:16am Braveness23: B23 here! Good morning Trouble and all of my other fine feathered FMU's
	9:18am kat330: trouble, will you tell us what that tv screen shot's from in your mic break? Seems like some Twilight Zone episode.
	♥ 9:20am trouble: good morning alllllllll! grey day here, ugh. suzy i had planned this song yesterday, so that is why you are listening live today! i willed it! today's artist is lee friedlander "Florida 1963"
	9:20am βrian: Lee Friedlander http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Friedlander
	9:20am Bad Ronald: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Friedlander Reminds me of a scene in videdrome
	9:20am suzy: isn't that the artist who did the recent david bowie video?
	9:20am Bad Ronald: oops!
	♥ 9:22am BSI: ...did somebody say isthmus?
	9:24am other eddie: good morning trouble et. al. (@suzy außer für dich, guten tag!)
	9:27am kat330: @BSI: Easy for you to say. Actually, not that easy for anyone to say.
	♥ 9:28am trouble: no, suzy. actually there is an interesting similarity that i also picked up looking at this photo from far before tony oursler started his video face projections.
	9:29am βrian: This is the isthmus.
	9:29am Bad Ronald: Isthmus be my lucky day!
	9:30am kat330: All I got for isthmus... isthmus stop!
	9:30am glenn: where is the ain'tthmus?
	9:31am βrian: "... roulent les Rs à l'espagnol." I like that.
	9:35am βrian: The isthmus ith here: http://tinyurl.com/theisthmus
	♥ 9:36am BSI: "isthmus... instant cocoa... yodelay hee-hoo...."
	♥ 9:36am BSI: alright. I'm done now. please carry on.
	9:37am kat330: @βrian: Ah, then, I've been there.
	9:38am gemark: OK, but I'd love to hear some puns using "archipelago."
	♥ 9:39am BSI: Sorry I can't pun on archipelago; the word conjures the Bob & Ray routine about the komodo dragon, and I get led down that rabbit-hole of awesome...
	9:40am will: Au contraire, ma cherie Trouble, some of us are still "hung over" from Sunday night's GlobalFest and the incendiary sets by Oliver Mtukudzi and Muccapazza!
	9:41am glenn: bob and ray komodo dragon routine? how have i missed that?
	♥ 9:41am annie: Teacher: johnny use the word "isthmus " in a sentence johnny: "isthmus be my lucky day" old little rascals schoolroom scene...
	♥ 9:43am trouble: yes indeed, will!
	9:44am glenn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZEyvwhjcFk
	9:44am maja: hi touble hi all listeners, winter has come!
	9:45am gemark: I remember once in middle school a classmate had to use the word "atrophy" in a sentence. "I entered the bike race and won atrophy" did not impress the teacher.
	♥ 9:46am trouble: hey maja, we are still waiting for winter's true arrival here.
	9:47am kat330: Thanks, glenn via BSI! @trouble: I believe it's on its way.
	9:48am βrian: It's warmed up to 15°F on the isthmus.
	9:48am Shana: @βrian: I'll see your isthmus and raise you a mitten.
	9:48am other eddie: i'm afraid we may need to redefine winter's true arrival
	♥ 9:48am BSI: ISTHMUS!
	9:48am Bad Ronald: A similar incident occurred at our school involving the word "homogenous"...
	9:49am kat330: Isthmus be said: isthmus be very chilly, βrian.
	9:51am Braveness23: We just took down our isthmus tree on Sunday
	9:51am kat330: We're at 26 degrees in Kentuckiana. It was mid-60s (or higher) on Saturday.
	9:53am jamesie: doing the hoovering; Baxter likes the fifes...
	9:53am kat330: Quite a medley here!
	9:53am other eddie: wind like that, isthmus up my hair
	9:53am peter: Good Frosty morning from the West Coast!
	9:53am βrian: @kat330 Near Bloomington?
	9:54am kat330: South a few leagues -- on the river across from Louisville.
	9:55am Priscilla: My Brightest Diamond is playing live 7pm Jan 25th at the Greene Space
	9:55am βrian: Ah. Floyd Knob, perchance?
	9:55am kat330: @peter: Keep those oranges warm!
	9:57am kat330: Anyone see Jon Spencer Blues Explosion perform on Sunday? Ah, love this tune and this version!
	♥ 9:58am annie: kat, we are rainy here in asheville... we could use it, though
	9:58am peter: Bit North of Oranges Kat-- Seattle! Happy MLK jr birthday everyone.
	9:59am kat330: βrian, we're in the Knee of the Knob. And actually it's Floyds Knobs. We're partial to plurals down here. ;)
	10:00am Adrian in London: Hey Trouble, just a flying visit… listening in and out today…
	10:01am βrian: I was told by a Floyd Knob native that it's a matter of debate. I wouldn't know.
	10:01am kat330: @annie: Sunday was nothing but dreary gray rain here. We got cold but sunny starting yesterday. And, yes, peter -- Happy MLK jr Birthday! Also my sister's b'day and also ndbob's.
	10:02am JS: Hey, Trouble, Just saw this article, and hearing your birds, I thought I'd post the link. Poor Ovenbirds! http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/science/2013/01/communication-towers-are-death-traps-for-threatened-bird-species/#ixzz2I3YfNape Let's get blinking lights on those communication towers! Oh, and Happy New Ears . . . Jonathan
	10:03am Dave in PA: I have wondered the same thing about those rear-window stickers... I think it's a cult or a suburban gang sign...
	10:03am Vivian: Oh I detest those stickers! One time, I had a car in front of me with those stick figures..however, the wife/mother of the family had a huge red x through her. Egads!
	10:04am kat330: @βrian: I believe only one of the esses is in debate -- the one on Floyd -- but I deferred to the pros at Weather Underground on zip code 47119.
	10:04am Listener Alexandra: We have those silly "family" stickers on the West Coast, too. Out here (SoCal), they're often turtles or surfboards in place of stick figures. I did see one with zombies once, who appear to have eaten a stick family.
	10:04am Cosmic: What are these stickers? im googling them...
	10:05am βrian: http://www.amazon.com/ChainSaw-Nobody-FIGURE-FAMILY-Sticker/dp/B007PLZGO2/ref=sr_1_1
	♥ 10:05am BSI: I suppose I've noticed the stick-figure stickers but had no idea they reflected some kind of family reality..... that's damned creepy.
	10:06am dale: family stickers can be had at amazon and all over the web. probably auto parts stores as well. they are the 'baby on board' of the day
	10:06am kat330: I seem to visually edit out stickers the same way I do ads, but what I do notice and enjoy are the fish symbols with feet.
	10:07am βrian: I like the "pious" FSM emblems.
	10:08am DCE: good morning, folks.
	10:08am Priscilla: Fleetwood Mac!
	10:09am Cosmic: SFFWD's?? haha
	10:10am kat330: Christian Ichthys symbol with feet I should amend. Isthmus be ichthys.
	10:11am Cosmic: I hope they don't catch on over here. That one on google is the first one ive seen and thats enough. It is a bit creepy/stupid that it represents whos in the family.
	10:12am kat330: And amend: All I Want for Isthmus Is My Toothpaste Back in the Tube -- did anyone ethereal for breakfath?
	♥ 10:15am trouble: hey jamesie! hey peter!
	10:15am kat330: A most mollusk set here, trouble! :)
	♥ 10:25am trouble: i'm violently allergic to shellfish kat330, but perhaps a most mollusk set is a good thing?
	10:26am Bad Ronald: ha ha, Lady Gaga pulled a P.J. Proby over the weekend! http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/cheeky-lady-gaga-rips-pants-stage-article-1.1238940
	10:26am Cosmic: kat330 i saw a fish with feet, and wings! it was a 3d outline. but a sticker nonetheless.
	10:27am kat330: Oooh, sorry about that but, yes indeed, mollusk is most mollusk (syn. "cool" in the Philo-kat lexicon ;).
	10:27am Cosmic: Hey Bad Ronald! Long time!
	10:29am Bad Ronald: Hey Cosmic! Howzit bayou?
	10:29am kat330: @Cosmic: Here's one for real: uglyoverload.blogspot.com...
	10:30am Mike East: i saw a rival suburban gang sticker that had the family represented by zombies and said "my family ate your stick family"
	10:37am kat330: @trouble: For us non-compliant, anti-FBers, any way you can post the video links also on your playlist archives page?
	10:39am listener mark: "This is the Modern World" page shows up frequently on my newsfeed.
	♥ 10:39am trouble: check out the FB page: www.facebook.com...
	♥ 10:40am trouble: kat330 the page is a public page, so i don't think you have to sign up for FB
	10:42am kat330: @JS: [going back to 10:02] Thanks for that info, sad as it is. Mostly songbirds, too... sigh. In my neighborhood there's a trend to cutting down perfectly healthy 50-ft. tree habitats to hawks and falcons. Damn shame.
	10:43am kat330: OK, trouble, I'll try it, but Irene pointed me to FB yesterday, and I had to sign in if I wanted the info.
	10:43am glenn: http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/01/14/march-of-the-penguins-at-the-calgary-zoo/
	10:44am Cosmic: thanks kat330. I am a keen evolutionist curiositeer! That really scratched my itch, if yknow wha'meaan. Not bad, BR. Not bad at all! Adjusting to living in the future, finally.
	10:44am kat330: Ah, OK, got it -- mollusk!
	10:46am kat330: Aw, glenn, thanks! I can always count on you to put the wild into my life any given day.
	10:47am listener mark: All the WFMU related postings appear quite regularly. Nick Zignauskas most of all.
	10:52am kat330: Lullville jug band! :)
	10:54am kat330: Old McDonald's doo-wop jug band.
	10:56am Van in DC: Meg! Thanks trouble!
	♥ 10:57am Parq: Dang, but that Meg Baird song was pretty.
	♥ 11:05am annie: re: the fmu FB page... i never see anything i post on there.. i put up a couple videos, some comments, etc... they all seem to vanish...
	11:10am kat330: Odd the FMU FB has a video clip of Blues Explosion on Letterman (which I saw on my DVR, noting Spencer sucking the mic into his mouth) but not the Sunday performance?
	11:13am kwhitehead: NW is brilliant. Wish I was reading it for the first time again. Didn't know yer hubby was a librarian!. So am I.
	♥ 11:13am trouble: check this:www.nytimes.com...
	11:13am duke: The worst one of those bumperstickers that I saw was: My kid beat up your honor student.
	11:14am wha?: Trouble, if you're in the market for those stickers (as if), check out the zombie version before making a final choice. http://www.bentcastle.com/Bentcastle/caravan.html
	♥ 11:15am trouble: kwhitehead: this show has a huge librarian listenership, we should form a cult and take over the world! are you a public librarian?
	11:15am Van in DC: This be nice.
	♥ 11:15am BSI: Yay Roedelius. i smell a korg ms2000b in there...
	♥ 11:16am BSI: geek line there, apologies.
	♥ 11:16am trouble: thank you wha?, i am just trying to figure them out, not take one on. i think they are freaky deaky weird, actually
	11:18am Van in DC: The Meg Baird tune was from here: http://www.dragcity.com/products/dear-companion
	11:19am Priscilla: @duke I saw one that said "My kid resisted your honor student through nonviolent means"
	11:21am TDK60: Yep, U$A has a Grand Canyon-sized shoulder chip, going way back, thru Wounded Knee, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. Protestant capitalism run amok. Great tunes today. I think the Meg Baird is a New Riders of the Purple Sage cover.
	11:22am kat330: My last word on these stickers: That's all we need, even more distractions for drivers. Indiana still allows texting while driving.
	11:24am peter: thanks for the birthday show Trouble! Students arriving for Comix to Printmaking! Until next week.
	11:25am Priscilla: One of my favorite bumper stickers: "Your karma ran over my dogma"
	♥ 11:26am trouble: bonne anniversaire peter!!!
	11:27am kwhitehead: I am, up in tony Connecticut. I constantly feel guilty about how well funded we are.
	11:27am kat330: Airlessly: Apt track title for the conditions in Beijing at the moment.
	♥ 11:29am trouble: don't give it a thought, kwhitehead, you can do good where ever you are. people always need opening up, no matter the funding level
	11:31am lewis: well said Trouble: challenge their creativity help them to interpret the world using their own intellect and experience and turn them loose...
	11:31am Van in DC: Gosh loving this set
	11:32am kat330: I lived in the Knob Knee library after school most days. I consider myself mostly self-educated from library resources.
	11:32am moose: hi DJ Trouble! missed most o the show, looks swell
	♥ 11:34am annie: wow kat, that pulled up a great memory of my waiting in the library after school, too.. loved the sourroundings of books, grew up in a household full of em. eschewed most formal reading education by the time i was 12 or so..
	♥ 11:35am BSI: "cult librarian" - another band name up for grabs there.
	♥ 11:36am trouble: hello moose! thanks for the good words
	♥ 11:36am trouble: you too van in DC!
	11:37am kat330: @annie: The library was a haven as much as an education (latchkey kid w/ a bully older brother at home). Making lemonade out of lemons. :) @trouble: Concur with Van -- super mollusk set, with an extra serving of Ravi.
	11:37am kwhitehead: Thanks Trouble. I feel better already.
	11:38am duke: band name for librarians: The Dewey Decibel System
	11:39am kat330: That's a royal one, duke!
	11:39am Cosmic: This is helping me work, Trouble! Thanks.
	♥ 11:40am annie: mine as well kat, yet for diff circumstances. my replacement haven is coffee shops and cafes, diners.. etc..
	11:41am suzy: gorgeous song
	11:42am Van in DC: The Dewey Decibel System - greatness. Do they do just covers?
	11:47am TDK60: Y.L.T. NJ's Best? (Along with Feelies & Patti.)
	11:47am kat330: Let's hope the interwebs never force the closure of all the Carnegie brick and mortars. Lots of people across the spectrum take haven in the libraries of the world.
	♥ 11:48am annie: i miss card catalogues
	11:49am kwhitehead: We have an old (and very beautiful) oak card catalog in our living room.
	11:49am Jennique: Just in time to chime in! I'm out in L.A. and realized it was Tuesday morning. Will have to go back on the archives to get the full show. Happy Tuesday Trouble-makers.
	11:50am Dewey: I've got a system to sell ya
	11:51am lewis: @kwhitehead: does it still have the cards?
	11:52am kwhitehead: it does not.
	♥ 11:52am annie: 30 years ago, when i had lots of time on my hands and a room full of books, i catalogued them all.. to this day i run across a book or so which has the original typed card hidden in it.
	11:53am kat330: Simone for Simone!
	11:54am Dewey: Is there a National Borrow a Book Day?
	11:54am kat330: @kwhitehead: So, knickknacks? Old TDK60s? ;)
	11:54am kwhitehead: Card catalog drawers being used for 1) cassette tapes, 2)star wars figures 3) crayons 4) tax info 5) legos
	11:55am kat330: Ding ding ding on the cassette tapes. Do I win a Dewey prize?
	♥ 11:56am annie: (6) saved seeds in seed-sharing stations
	11:56am Dewey: I keep my stash in the 800s
	11:57am kwhitehead: It should be in the 600's, that's gardening.
	♥ 11:58am trouble: thanks for listening today dollies! happy week
	11:58am TDK60: 7) real card catalogs for a "little library"...
	11:59am Dewey: Hey grab some Ginsberg in the 800s and you'll get some fine kind bud
	11:59am kat330: Thank you for always giving me an UNtroubled morning, Lynn! Bye you dewy folks!

	9:18am kat330: trouble, will you tell us what that tv screen shot's from in your mic break? Seems like some Twilight Zone episode.
	♥ 9:20am trouble: good morning alllllllll! grey day here, ugh. suzy i had planned this song yesterday, so that is why you are listening live today! i willed it! today's artist is lee friedlander "Florida 1963"
	9:20am βrian: Lee Friedlander http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Friedlander
	9:20am Bad Ronald: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Friedlander Reminds me of a scene in videdrome
	9:20am suzy: isn't that the artist who did the recent david bowie video?
	9:20am Bad Ronald: oops!
	♥ 9:22am BSI: ...did somebody say isthmus?
	9:24am other eddie: good morning trouble et. al. (@suzy außer für dich, guten tag!)
	9:27am kat330: @BSI: Easy for you to say. Actually, not that easy for anyone to say.
	♥ 9:28am trouble: no, suzy. actually there is an interesting similarity that i also picked up looking at this photo from far before tony oursler started his video face projections.
	9:29am βrian: This is the isthmus.
	9:29am Bad Ronald: Isthmus be my lucky day!
	9:30am kat330: All I got for isthmus... isthmus stop!
	9:30am glenn: where is the ain'tthmus?
	9:31am βrian: "... roulent les Rs à l'espagnol." I like that.
	9:35am βrian: The isthmus ith here: http://tinyurl.com/theisthmus
	♥ 9:36am BSI: "isthmus... instant cocoa... yodelay hee-hoo...."
	♥ 9:36am BSI: alright. I'm done now. please carry on.
	9:37am kat330: @βrian: Ah, then, I've been there.
	9:38am gemark: OK, but I'd love to hear some puns using "archipelago."
	♥ 9:39am BSI: Sorry I can't pun on archipelago; the word conjures the Bob & Ray routine about the komodo dragon, and I get led down that rabbit-hole of awesome...
	9:40am will: Au contraire, ma cherie Trouble, some of us are still "hung over" from Sunday night's GlobalFest and the incendiary sets by Oliver Mtukudzi and Muccapazza!
	9:41am glenn: bob and ray komodo dragon routine? how have i missed that?
	♥ 9:41am annie: Teacher: johnny use the word "isthmus " in a sentence johnny: "isthmus be my lucky day" old little rascals schoolroom scene...
	♥ 9:43am trouble: yes indeed, will!
	9:44am glenn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZEyvwhjcFk
	9:44am maja: hi touble hi all listeners, winter has come!
	9:45am gemark: I remember once in middle school a classmate had to use the word "atrophy" in a sentence. "I entered the bike race and won atrophy" did not impress the teacher.
	♥ 9:46am trouble: hey maja, we are still waiting for winter's true arrival here.
	9:47am kat330: Thanks, glenn via BSI! @trouble: I believe it's on its way.
	9:48am βrian: It's warmed up to 15°F on the isthmus.
	9:48am Shana: @βrian: I'll see your isthmus and raise you a mitten.
	9:48am other eddie: i'm afraid we may need to redefine winter's true arrival
	♥ 9:48am BSI: ISTHMUS!
	9:48am Bad Ronald: A similar incident occurred at our school involving the word "homogenous"...
	9:49am kat330: Isthmus be said: isthmus be very chilly, βrian.
	9:51am Braveness23: We just took down our isthmus tree on Sunday
	9:51am kat330: We're at 26 degrees in Kentuckiana. It was mid-60s (or higher) on Saturday.
	9:53am jamesie: doing the hoovering; Baxter likes the fifes...
	9:53am kat330: Quite a medley here!
	9:53am other eddie: wind like that, isthmus up my hair
	9:53am peter: Good Frosty morning from the West Coast!
	9:53am βrian: @kat330 Near Bloomington?
	9:54am kat330: South a few leagues -- on the river across from Louisville.
	9:55am Priscilla: My Brightest Diamond is playing live 7pm Jan 25th at the Greene Space
	9:55am βrian: Ah. Floyd Knob, perchance?
	9:55am kat330: @peter: Keep those oranges warm!
	9:57am kat330: Anyone see Jon Spencer Blues Explosion perform on Sunday? Ah, love this tune and this version!
	♥ 9:58am annie: kat, we are rainy here in asheville... we could use it, though
	9:58am peter: Bit North of Oranges Kat-- Seattle! Happy MLK jr birthday everyone.
	9:59am kat330: βrian, we're in the Knee of the Knob. And actually it's Floyds Knobs. We're partial to plurals down here. ;)
	10:00am Adrian in London: Hey Trouble, just a flying visit… listening in and out today…
	10:01am βrian: I was told by a Floyd Knob native that it's a matter of debate. I wouldn't know.
	10:01am kat330: @annie: Sunday was nothing but dreary gray rain here. We got cold but sunny starting yesterday. And, yes, peter -- Happy MLK jr Birthday! Also my sister's b'day and also ndbob's.
	10:02am JS: Hey, Trouble, Just saw this article, and hearing your birds, I thought I'd post the link. Poor Ovenbirds! http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/science/2013/01/communication-towers-are-death-traps-for-threatened-bird-species/#ixzz2I3YfNape Let's get blinking lights on those communication towers! Oh, and Happy New Ears . . . Jonathan
	10:03am Dave in PA: I have wondered the same thing about those rear-window stickers... I think it's a cult or a suburban gang sign...
	10:03am Vivian: Oh I detest those stickers! One time, I had a car in front of me with those stick figures..however, the wife/mother of the family had a huge red x through her. Egads!
	10:04am kat330: @βrian: I believe only one of the esses is in debate -- the one on Floyd -- but I deferred to the pros at Weather Underground on zip code 47119.
	10:04am Listener Alexandra: We have those silly "family" stickers on the West Coast, too. Out here (SoCal), they're often turtles or surfboards in place of stick figures. I did see one with zombies once, who appear to have eaten a stick family.
	10:04am Cosmic: What are these stickers? im googling them...
	10:05am βrian: http://www.amazon.com/ChainSaw-Nobody-FIGURE-FAMILY-Sticker/dp/B007PLZGO2/ref=sr_1_1
	♥ 10:05am BSI: I suppose I've noticed the stick-figure stickers but had no idea they reflected some kind of family reality..... that's damned creepy.
	10:06am dale: family stickers can be had at amazon and all over the web. probably auto parts stores as well. they are the 'baby on board' of the day
	10:06am kat330: I seem to visually edit out stickers the same way I do ads, but what I do notice and enjoy are the fish symbols with feet.
	10:07am βrian: I like the "pious" FSM emblems.
	10:08am DCE: good morning, folks.
	10:08am Priscilla: Fleetwood Mac!
	10:09am Cosmic: SFFWD's?? haha
	10:10am kat330: Christian Ichthys symbol with feet I should amend. Isthmus be ichthys.
	10:11am Cosmic: I hope they don't catch on over here. That one on google is the first one ive seen and thats enough. It is a bit creepy/stupid that it represents whos in the family.
	10:12am kat330: And amend: All I Want for Isthmus Is My Toothpaste Back in the Tube -- did anyone ethereal for breakfath?
	♥ 10:15am trouble: hey jamesie! hey peter!
	10:15am kat330: A most mollusk set here, trouble! :)
	♥ 10:25am trouble: i'm violently allergic to shellfish kat330, but perhaps a most mollusk set is a good thing?
	10:26am Bad Ronald: ha ha, Lady Gaga pulled a P.J. Proby over the weekend! http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/cheeky-lady-gaga-rips-pants-stage-article-1.1238940
	10:26am Cosmic: kat330 i saw a fish with feet, and wings! it was a 3d outline. but a sticker nonetheless.
	10:27am kat330: Oooh, sorry about that but, yes indeed, mollusk is most mollusk (syn. "cool" in the Philo-kat lexicon ;).
	10:27am Cosmic: Hey Bad Ronald! Long time!
	10:29am Bad Ronald: Hey Cosmic! Howzit bayou?
	10:29am kat330: @Cosmic: Here's one for real: uglyoverload.blogspot.com...
	10:30am Mike East: i saw a rival suburban gang sticker that had the family represented by zombies and said "my family ate your stick family"
	10:37am kat330: @trouble: For us non-compliant, anti-FBers, any way you can post the video links also on your playlist archives page?
	10:39am listener mark: "This is the Modern World" page shows up frequently on my newsfeed.
	♥ 10:39am trouble: check out the FB page: www.facebook.com...
	♥ 10:40am trouble: kat330 the page is a public page, so i don't think you have to sign up for FB
	10:42am kat330: @JS: [going back to 10:02] Thanks for that info, sad as it is. Mostly songbirds, too... sigh. In my neighborhood there's a trend to cutting down perfectly healthy 50-ft. tree habitats to hawks and falcons. Damn shame.
	10:43am kat330: OK, trouble, I'll try it, but Irene pointed me to FB yesterday, and I had to sign in if I wanted the info.
	10:43am glenn: http://news.nationalpost.com/2013/01/14/march-of-the-penguins-at-the-calgary-zoo/
	10:44am Cosmic: thanks kat330. I am a keen evolutionist curiositeer! That really scratched my itch, if yknow wha'meaan. Not bad, BR. Not bad at all! Adjusting to living in the future, finally.
	10:44am kat330: Ah, OK, got it -- mollusk!
	10:46am kat330: Aw, glenn, thanks! I can always count on you to put the wild into my life any given day.
	10:47am listener mark: All the WFMU related postings appear quite regularly. Nick Zignauskas most of all.
	10:52am kat330: Lullville jug band! :)
	10:54am kat330: Old McDonald's doo-wop jug band.
	10:56am Van in DC: Meg! Thanks trouble!
	♥ 10:57am Parq: Dang, but that Meg Baird song was pretty.
	♥ 11:05am annie: re: the fmu FB page... i never see anything i post on there.. i put up a couple videos, some comments, etc... they all seem to vanish...
	11:10am kat330: Odd the FMU FB has a video clip of Blues Explosion on Letterman (which I saw on my DVR, noting Spencer sucking the mic into his mouth) but not the Sunday performance?
	11:13am kwhitehead: NW is brilliant. Wish I was reading it for the first time again. Didn't know yer hubby was a librarian!. So am I.
	♥ 11:13am trouble: check this:www.nytimes.com...
	11:13am duke: The worst one of those bumperstickers that I saw was: My kid beat up your honor student.
	11:14am wha?: Trouble, if you're in the market for those stickers (as if), check out the zombie version before making a final choice. http://www.bentcastle.com/Bentcastle/caravan.html
	♥ 11:15am trouble: kwhitehead: this show has a huge librarian listenership, we should form a cult and take over the world! are you a public librarian?
	11:15am Van in DC: This be nice.
	♥ 11:15am BSI: Yay Roedelius. i smell a korg ms2000b in there...
	♥ 11:16am BSI: geek line there, apologies.
	♥ 11:16am trouble: thank you wha?, i am just trying to figure them out, not take one on. i think they are freaky deaky weird, actually
	11:18am Van in DC: The Meg Baird tune was from here: http://www.dragcity.com/products/dear-companion
	11:19am Priscilla: @duke I saw one that said "My kid resisted your honor student through nonviolent means"
	11:21am TDK60: Yep, U$A has a Grand Canyon-sized shoulder chip, going way back, thru Wounded Knee, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. Protestant capitalism run amok. Great tunes today. I think the Meg Baird is a New Riders of the Purple Sage cover.
	11:22am kat330: My last word on these stickers: That's all we need, even more distractions for drivers. Indiana still allows texting while driving.
	11:24am peter: thanks for the birthday show Trouble! Students arriving for Comix to Printmaking! Until next week.
	11:25am Priscilla: One of my favorite bumper stickers: "Your karma ran over my dogma"
	♥ 11:26am trouble: bonne anniversaire peter!!!
	11:27am kwhitehead: I am, up in tony Connecticut. I constantly feel guilty about how well funded we are.
	11:27am kat330: Airlessly: Apt track title for the conditions in Beijing at the moment.
	♥ 11:29am trouble: don't give it a thought, kwhitehead, you can do good where ever you are. people always need opening up, no matter the funding level
	11:31am lewis: well said Trouble: challenge their creativity help them to interpret the world using their own intellect and experience and turn them loose...
	11:31am Van in DC: Gosh loving this set
	11:32am kat330: I lived in the Knob Knee library after school most days. I consider myself mostly self-educated from library resources.
	11:32am moose: hi DJ Trouble! missed most o the show, looks swell
	♥ 11:34am annie: wow kat, that pulled up a great memory of my waiting in the library after school, too.. loved the sourroundings of books, grew up in a household full of em. eschewed most formal reading education by the time i was 12 or so..
	♥ 11:35am BSI: "cult librarian" - another band name up for grabs there.
	♥ 11:36am trouble: hello moose! thanks for the good words
	♥ 11:36am trouble: you too van in DC!
	11:37am kat330: @annie: The library was a haven as much as an education (latchkey kid w/ a bully older brother at home). Making lemonade out of lemons. :) @trouble: Concur with Van -- super mollusk set, with an extra serving of Ravi.
	11:37am kwhitehead: Thanks Trouble. I feel better already.
	11:38am duke: band name for librarians: The Dewey Decibel System
	11:39am kat330: That's a royal one, duke!
	11:39am Cosmic: This is helping me work, Trouble! Thanks.
	♥ 11:40am annie: mine as well kat, yet for diff circumstances. my replacement haven is coffee shops and cafes, diners.. etc..
	11:41am suzy: gorgeous song
	11:42am Van in DC: The Dewey Decibel System - greatness. Do they do just covers?
	11:47am TDK60: Y.L.T. NJ's Best? (Along with Feelies & Patti.)
	11:47am kat330: Let's hope the interwebs never force the closure of all the Carnegie brick and mortars. Lots of people across the spectrum take haven in the libraries of the world.
	♥ 11:48am annie: i miss card catalogues
	11:49am kwhitehead: We have an old (and very beautiful) oak card catalog in our living room.
	11:49am Jennique: Just in time to chime in! I'm out in L.A. and realized it was Tuesday morning. Will have to go back on the archives to get the full show. Happy Tuesday Trouble-makers.
	11:50am Dewey: I've got a system to sell ya
	11:51am lewis: @kwhitehead: does it still have the cards?
	11:52am kwhitehead: it does not.
	♥ 11:52am annie: 30 years ago, when i had lots of time on my hands and a room full of books, i catalogued them all.. to this day i run across a book or so which has the original typed card hidden in it.
	11:53am kat330: Simone for Simone!
	11:54am Dewey: Is there a National Borrow a Book Day?
	11:54am kat330: @kwhitehead: So, knickknacks? Old TDK60s? ;)
	11:54am kwhitehead: Card catalog drawers being used for 1) cassette tapes, 2)star wars figures 3) crayons 4) tax info 5) legos
	11:55am kat330: Ding ding ding on the cassette tapes. Do I win a Dewey prize?
	♥ 11:56am annie: (6) saved seeds in seed-sharing stations
	11:56am Dewey: I keep my stash in the 800s
	11:57am kwhitehead: It should be in the 600's, that's gardening.
	♥ 11:58am trouble: thanks for listening today dollies! happy week
	11:58am TDK60: 7) real card catalogs for a "little library"...
	11:59am Dewey: Hey grab some Ginsberg in the 800s and you'll get some fine kind bud
	11:59am kat330: Thank you for always giving me an UNtroubled morning, Lynn! Bye you dewy folks!
