	12:10am G: Hey, meant to remember to mention that my gf liked your Muddy Water premium 2012, which I got after Sandy and just listened to while playing cards this week. FMU material makes the "gf cut" under 50% of the time :-)
	12:11am Joe McG: Excellent, good to hear, G! I aims to please the ladies as often as I can.
	12:13am G: That Joe! lol
	12:15am KP: Hear KP liked what he got.
	12:17am Joe McG: I hope everyone's feeling all right this evening!

	12:21am Chop Scott: I can still usually can do simple math---my Friend. CHeers!!!
	12:22am Scott McDowell: I was seconds away from requesting Frankie newton!
	12:22am Joe McG: @Scott: Ha ha ha! Chop Scott, my friend! Two Great Scotts in the house!
	12:23am Scott McDowell: So great! Thanks Joe!
	12:24am Marmalade Kitty: play that song boy!
	12:25am G: Um, this is reminding me I have to go to bed soon :P after the avocado and toast is finished. or i'll be in trouble...
	12:26am Joe McG: Hey, Kitty!
	12:28am Marmalade Kitty: Evening Joe!
	12:28am Scott McDowell: '20s different decade!
	12:29am Joe McG: Got me!
	12:30am tomB: Weren't Butterbeans & Susie both members of Bea Foote and Her Personal Possessive Pronouns?
	12:31am meghan: Thanks for coming out tonight!!!!!!!
	12:35am Joe McG: Hey, Meghan! It was so great to come out for your b'day bash! Hope you had a great time!
	12:35am fleep: And now for something completely different
	12:36am Joe McG: @tomB: Can I use that name for my Orchestra? @fleep: Freeform Radio, hooray!
	12:36am Holly in NC: Hi Joe & all other friends! Still unpacking, back in 30. This Yoko song kicks ass!
	12:36am Esteban (NJ): And now...the larch. Wow, Yoko is 80. Crazy.
	👻 12:36am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, Yoko Ono will bring something different to the table.
	12:38am Joe McG: Welcome back, Holly! @Esteban: Yes, can you believe it? Hey, Ken!
	12:38am KP: much better test for new headphones.
	12:40am Esteban (NJ): @Joe. I'm feeling old. But I don't want to offend older folks here. CONSIDER THIS: Yoko aged better (and is more relevant) than Kelly LeBrock. /tangent
	12:40am Parq: Three day weekend, son. We can sleep 'til 11 tomorrow without screwing up our sleep pattern for the rest of the week.
	12:42am Holly in NC: Yoko is, in all ways, amazing.
	12:42am Joe McG: @Parq: Ah, now I see! Hooray for presidents! @Esteban: Kelly LeBrock. She played for the Canucks, right?
	12:42am Droll: . o O ( How to tell a tree from a long ways away?!?! ) Holly, Welcome back. Yoko kicks ass? Oh! I see! K and L are right next to each other on the keyboard!
	12:42am G: I gotta be in Manhattan by 11 or so to meet people for good Chinatown parade route spots :-) Yoko is blowin' up teh audioz on thishere one.
	12:43am Marmalade Kitty: How can anybody say that Yoko can't sing?
	12:45am Esteban (NJ): With Yoko, it's about atmosphere. She succeeds? Sure, why not.
	12:46am KP: From 1971!
	12:46am G: @KP: Imagine! :)
	12:47am KP: Ha!
	12:48am KP: G make sure at that parade you are not Walking on Thin Ice.
	12:49am Marmalade Kitty: Happy birthday Meghan & Yoko!
	12:50am Esteban (NJ): DJ DILEMMA: What artist to follow a track by Yoko? ANSWER: ???
	12:50am Holly in NC: Droll - I'm still unpacking, but that was super snarky! I guess we just disagree. This coming from someone who was allowed to stay home from school due to grief over JL's death.
	12:50am Droll: I thought an album side was only about 23 minutes long. Surely this has played longer than all of Tales of Topographical Oceans by now.
	12:51am Esteban (NJ): droll loves Yoko. Don't worry.
	12:51am Joe McG: @Esteban: Let's try this...
	12:52am KP: So far, so good ...
	12:52am G: we'll see what happens, gotta log ( i was waiting to see what else could happen on that loko ono ! )
	12:53am Esteban (NJ): @Joe: So far, so good. No "cackling witch" vocals yet, though.
	12:55am Droll: Esteban, Yoko does a caterwaul.
	12:55am Joe McG: Dub dub, dub dub, dub dub... From trains to sinking ships... glub glub, glub glub, glub glub...
	12:56am KP: G, you know Sean was nice enough to come by FMU and actually do a show for Brian. The place is more blessed than ever.
	12:56am Esteban (NJ): @Droll: damn, you're right. I was going to suggest banshee...what does a banshee do?
	12:57am Joe McG: @KP: He liked Ken's velvet painting collection.
	12:58am Holly in NC: Given Joe successfully avoided the obvious (Meredith Monk, Diamonda Galas, Patty Waters, Jeanne Lee, etc), I'm impressed!
	12:58am KP: I loved the shot of him in front of the Hilary one.
	12:59am Holly in NC: Banshees kick ass! ;-)
	12:59am Esteban (NJ): "And then the ship sank" — why do I feel like I'm watching a melodrama about a boy from Bristol who plays soccer?
	1:00am KP: There was lad from Bristol, footie was his only love. Then the ship sank.
	1:00am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: absolutely. Banshees dominate. And they don't stoop to the mundane level of "screaming", they "scowl", I reckon.
	1:02am KP: Is this in honor of these new phones? Pretty wow already.
	1:02am Esteban (NJ): @KP: Precisely. Now I gotta look up the term "footie" :)
	1:03am KP: not sure if used correctly, could mean american football to them.
	1:04am KP: Knew it was wrong. Aussie rules. Sounds good though.
	1:04am Esteban (NJ): El futbol as far as I'm concerned. I think they call it "American Football" to differentiate the two.
	1:05am fleep: @KP What kind phones?
	1:10am Esteban (NJ): Homophones, clearly...
	1:11am KP: Red!
	1:12am Holly in NC: BTW, Banshees wail, & keen. Keen is an underutilized word for vocalized grief, I think. I have definitely keened on few occasions where grief was unbearable,
	1:13am Holly in NC: @fleep, have I mentioned how much I love your avatar?
	1:13am tomB: upstream fr Veronica Lake?
	1:16am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: Ha! Good to know. I was going to say "weal" (but then I realized that I probably made up the word...it rhymes with squeal, and...that's about it). Wail and keen. Much more dignified.
	1:16am Holly in NC: Joe, thanks for Dentists
	1:17am Joe McG: Mon plaisir, Holly!
	1:18am fleep: @Holly Thanks I have been a dolphin online since '93. Yikes. Are you still listening under a blanket? .
	1:18am KP: Agreed Holly. Will look into them.
	1:19am Droll: keen /kēn/ (n) An Irish funeral song accompanied by wailing in lamentation for the dead. Amazing the Dentists recorded that in '85! Pretty much a low-point for psychedelic power pop.
	1:19am tomB: JM: Before previewing my comment, I had written "Joe McGasko &His Personal Pronouns" in honor of your success in displaying six artists with the same train of mind.
	1:21am Joe McG: @tomB: I love it. Just like Dow Jones and the Industrials!
	1:21am Holly in NC: @fleep - this is 1st cold night in over week, all cool (ha) But yes, blankets, yay blankets xo
	1:25am KP: George Jones speaks truth.
	1:26am Yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Israel,Earth,Milky Way): Good morning
	1:28am Holly in NC: Good morning, Yair. Merle....
	1:29am dknight23: A set that can go from Yoko to George Jones and Merle Haggard, and work!, makes for great radio. Thanks Joe.
	1:29am fleep: @KP Thanks, I'll keep an eye out.
	1:30am KP: Kind of intense to hear both back to back on a saturday night/sunday morning.
	1:30am Holly in NC: Chasing wayward cats who ran out into icy snow & missed Robyn covering Only Ones! !!!! !!! Some sort of weird penance, I guess,
	1:33am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: Dare I say the cats prefer Merle to Robyn? Yes, they do. Good for them.
	1:33am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: Dare I say the cats prefer Merle to Robyn? Yes, they do. Good for them.
	1:37am Joe McG: @dknight23: Thanks, it was fun!
	1:38am KP: Paul Wiliams? i would have said Davy Jones.
	1:39am Joe McG: @KP: You guessed it! Paul Williams doing his very best Davey Jones impersonation.
	1:39am Esteban (NJ): OK, I didn't anticipate Dragnet...
	1:39am KP: dknight23 you are so right. love hearing real country on FMU. Fake country too.
	1:40am KP: I did not guess, sorry to say.
	1:41am Holly in NC: @Esteban - I would never dare guess what the beasts prefer musically. They run almost every other aspect of my life, and they've all heard tons, tons of both Merle & Robyn, so.. Dragnet! ;-)
	1:43am fleep: mark gutkowski – goodnight (it's getting late, you know)
	1:44am Joe McG: @fleep: Do you know anything about him?
	1:46am Esteban (NJ): @H: Fair enough. @Joe: I LOVE THIS SYNTHDISCOPOP (proper genre eludes me). Love it!
	1:47am Joe McG: @Esteban: Sylvia talks pillow talk to the robots!
	1:47am fleep: @Joe Found something on the 1910 Fruitgum Company Vocalist Mark Gutkowski had the pitch and timbre that the Super K team felt would be perfect for “Simon Says.”
	1:48am Esteban (NJ): Seriously!
	1:49am Joe McG: @fleep: Oh, wow, you're right, it's the 1910 singer going solo! Thanks, fleep!
	1:55am KP: Which track was MarK Gutkowski? tHanks
	1:56am Joe McG: @KP: That was the first 45, the one on Team (which is a division of Buddah, the bubblegum label).
	2:00am Evil Scientist: Wish I were a robot ):
	2:01am KP: My phones!
	2:03am tomB: "goin" to th country {Frumpy}, think I'll dye my hair blue (Missing Persons). Conscious?
	2:05am Esteban (NJ): Of course we remember Missing Persons.
	2:09am Holly in NC: What does it mean when someone's name in comment section is bright red, & rest of us are in black or blue (and indeed, what's dif between black & blue)? Voices carry.
	2:11am Evil Scientist: Reds are probably registered users (or users representing communist threat)
	2:12am Holly in NC: Evil Scientist, you are indeed bright red. But I'm registered and a very drab blue I be.
	2:13am Esteban (NJ): ASIDE: All you folks are using fancy computers? I'm on my phone: no color-coded threat levels, no avatars, no nothing...
	2:14am Evil Scientist: @Holly in NC, your nick shows up in red for me. So does my own.
	2:14am Holly in NC: @Estaban - switching to my phone in 1 hot minute, where yes, we are all equal
	2:16am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: thank you, comrade.
	2:16am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: thank you, comrade.
	2:17am fleep: This is not a fancy computer. This is a gray computer.
	2:19am Holly in NC: Ooh, I think I've figured out! Black = not registered OR using mobile app Blue - registered users who are "friends" Red - registered users who aren't yet friends Maybe?
	2:19am Evil Scientist: I don't have internet access on my phone... does my gray computer make me a bourgeoisie who uses colour codes to differentiate between classes?!
	2:19am KP: Love these old Vanilla Fudge covers. thnx.
	2:20am Esteban (NJ): @fleep: I hear ya. But, I sneezed during my prior post and accidentally double-posted. @Joe: this is a great song.
	2:22am Esteban (NJ): Red: folks who prefer Yoko Ono to Can.
	2:24am Holly in NC: YES. My theory correct. I just friended Evil Scientist, and now he's as drab as the rest of us. Heh Heh, I'm such a good friend...
	2:24am Evil Scientist: But I prefer Can ): (Musically)
	2:25am Minnesota Jeff: Hello, Joe!
	2:27am Joe McG: Hey, Minnesota Jeff! Nice to see you so late!
	2:27am JDM: the real mc5 haha!
	2:28am Minnesota Jeff: If John Lennon were alive today, how many more times would have been married? Obviously he and yoko would have divorced at some point.
	2:28am Esteban (NJ): @Evil: Aha! Red = folks who prefer Can over Tangerine Dream.
	2:28am KP: Shadow Morton was from Hicksville, LI. I went to HS there. Wiki also says Elli Greenwich from nearby Levittown was his friend. I'm sort of from both places, as is a guy whose name is never mentioned on these shores.
	2:29am Joe McG: @JDM: I'm gettin' hiya just listening to this!
	2:30am fleep: I turned all red nicks to blue just by looking at the profile pages.
	2:30am Evil Scientist: @Esteban (NJ), that's more like it (: (How do you "befriend" people?)
	2:31am fleep: Dog biscuits, initially, until they follow you home.
	2:31am KP: Fleep you are dolphin blue!
	2:32am Evil Scientist: Ah, so blue = visited link...
	2:32am Joe McG: @KP: I think I know who you're talking about. Yes, we don't mention his name here....
	2:32am Holly in NC: @fleep - :-)
	2:32am Esteban (NJ): @Evil: Be kind
	2:33am Evil Scientist: @Esteban, doesn't that only work for the real world?
	2:34am KP: I did find a former member of the later Byrds, bassist John York, also went to Hicksville. I traded emails with him about it. Nice to talk to a Byrd.
	2:35am Holly in NC: Who don't you mention? Hint?
	2:35am Esteban (NJ): @Evil: probably. Ask Holly...she has fancy computer.
	2:36am JDM: surrounded by tattoo artists for years, I have only natural scars. At 36 years of age, for the first time I thought of a tattoo (drunk), and its WFMU por vida
	2:36am Joe McG: @Holly: His initials are BJ. He doesn't have a Bear.
	2:38am Holly in NC: OH! Is a piano man?
	2:38am KP: Love Vanilla Fudge, finally saw the reunited original group a while ago. They did a fantastic Some Velvet Morning. To me, as great as the original is, it's the Vanilla Fudge's song, and prob Shadow Morton.
	2:39am Esteban (NJ): Hahahaha. I wouldn't have figured that out, sadly.
	2:39am KP: He did have us Humming in an earlier betterer incarnation.
	2:40am Evil Scientist: The Group Image were produced by Shadow Morton?
	2:41am KP: I saw him play a dance n gym at Hicksville HS. but he played Keith Emerson/Nice type stuff so nobody danced.
	2:41am Yair Yona: Sunday morning are awful, this is the start of our work week. Listening to this show every sunday morning, brings back the hope to this life. thanks Joe.
	2:41am Holly in NC: Moving from non fancy Costco laptop to non fancy free phone. Love 'em both. @Fleep you're right, simply clicking on profile turns people blue. But I'm still friends wiht Evil Scientist ;-)
	2:41am Joe McG: @Evil: Yep, indeed!
	2:41am Minnesota Jeff: The answer is 5. John Lennon would be on his fifth wife.
	2:42am KP: Yair Yona, so well put.
	2:43am tomB: Hicksville nixed stix pix
	2:43am Holly in NC: @KP - beg to differ - for me original, then Thin White Rope
	2:44am KP: I dunno, they were married 11 years and seemed to have it going on up until end.
	2:44am Joe McG: @Yair Yona: Wow, thanks! And thank YOU for giving us great music to play on this station, as well!
	2:45am Esteban (NJ): Thanks for NYD. Sadly, I only have the Dolls on cassette...why oh why did I buy albums on tape?
	2:46am Esteban (NJ): Answer: bargain bins.
	2:46am Holly in NC: @Esteban - because they were portable, remember?
	2:46am Yair Yona: @Joe - my pleasure of course ;)
	2:47am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: portable—yeah, that too.
	2:48am Holly in NC: OK, here's where you hate me when I confess how much I love Aerosmith's cover... I WAS A KID, DAMMIT!
	2:49am tomB: so if John Lennon lived long enough to divorce, Yoko would have no reason to be loyal. To whom would she be married?
	2:49am Joe McG: @Holly: That was the first version I heard! Night in the Ruts/Right in the Nuts!
	2:51am Esteban (NJ): ???!!! Never heard this song. Children of heaven, indeed. Great.
	2:52am Holly in NC: @Joe - my seagulls are SO scratched up.
	2:52am KP: Holly, what did Aerosmith cover?
	2:53am Holly in NC: @KP - Walkin' In the Sand.
	2:53am KP: Walking in Sand? Yuk!
	2:54am Esteban (NJ): @tom: clearly, Yoko would (should) be with David Byrne. Or Peter Gabriel.
	2:55am KP: Getting there, huh. Geat fun. Joe. Thanks.
	2:55am fleep: Thanks for a great evening (or morning) Joe
	2:55am KP: Sorry holly, doesnt seem entertaining to me but they had their moments. thanks.
	2:57am Minnesota Jeff: I imagine Yoko marrying some mega rich european eccentric.
	2:58am Holly in NC: @KP - It's very much a time/place thing. If you weren't listening w your best friend over a summer of 6th grade sleepovers, yeah, kinda sucks.
	2:59am Esteban (NJ): Good night, folks. :)
	2:59am Evil Scientist: Thanks!
	2:59am Holly in NC: Thank you, Joe
	2:59am Evil Scientist: Thanks!
	3:00am Holly in NC: Thank you, Joe

	12:20am G: one never knows, do one
	12:21am Joe McG: Wow, Scott McD, Friday morning man at WFMU! You're up late, sir! Hey, Parq! Wow, all the daytime folks are up late!
	12:21am Chop Scott: I can still usually can do simple math---my Friend. CHeers!!!
	12:22am Scott McDowell: I was seconds away from requesting Frankie newton!
	12:22am Joe McG: @Scott: Ha ha ha! Chop Scott, my friend! Two Great Scotts in the house!
	12:23am Scott McDowell: So great! Thanks Joe!
	12:24am Marmalade Kitty: play that song boy!
	12:25am G: Um, this is reminding me I have to go to bed soon :P after the avocado and toast is finished. or i'll be in trouble...
	12:26am Joe McG: Hey, Kitty!
	12:28am Marmalade Kitty: Evening Joe!
	12:28am Scott McDowell: '20s different decade!
	12:29am Joe McG: Got me!
	12:30am tomB: Weren't Butterbeans & Susie both members of Bea Foote and Her Personal Possessive Pronouns?
	12:31am meghan: Thanks for coming out tonight!!!!!!!
	12:35am Joe McG: Hey, Meghan! It was so great to come out for your b'day bash! Hope you had a great time!
	12:35am fleep: And now for something completely different
	12:36am Joe McG: @tomB: Can I use that name for my Orchestra? @fleep: Freeform Radio, hooray!
	12:36am Holly in NC: Hi Joe & all other friends! Still unpacking, back in 30. This Yoko song kicks ass!
	12:36am Esteban (NJ): And now...the larch. Wow, Yoko is 80. Crazy.
	👻 12:36am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, Yoko Ono will bring something different to the table.
	12:38am Joe McG: Welcome back, Holly! @Esteban: Yes, can you believe it? Hey, Ken!
	12:38am KP: much better test for new headphones.
	12:40am Esteban (NJ): @Joe. I'm feeling old. But I don't want to offend older folks here. CONSIDER THIS: Yoko aged better (and is more relevant) than Kelly LeBrock. /tangent
	12:40am Parq: Three day weekend, son. We can sleep 'til 11 tomorrow without screwing up our sleep pattern for the rest of the week.
	12:42am Holly in NC: Yoko is, in all ways, amazing.
	12:42am Joe McG: @Parq: Ah, now I see! Hooray for presidents! @Esteban: Kelly LeBrock. She played for the Canucks, right?
	12:42am Droll: . o O ( How to tell a tree from a long ways away?!?! ) Holly, Welcome back. Yoko kicks ass? Oh! I see! K and L are right next to each other on the keyboard!
	12:42am G: I gotta be in Manhattan by 11 or so to meet people for good Chinatown parade route spots :-) Yoko is blowin' up teh audioz on thishere one.
	12:43am Marmalade Kitty: How can anybody say that Yoko can't sing?
	12:45am Esteban (NJ): With Yoko, it's about atmosphere. She succeeds? Sure, why not.
	12:46am KP: From 1971!
	12:46am G: @KP: Imagine! :)
	12:47am KP: Ha!
	12:48am KP: G make sure at that parade you are not Walking on Thin Ice.
	12:49am Marmalade Kitty: Happy birthday Meghan & Yoko!
	12:50am Esteban (NJ): DJ DILEMMA: What artist to follow a track by Yoko? ANSWER: ???
	12:50am Holly in NC: Droll - I'm still unpacking, but that was super snarky! I guess we just disagree. This coming from someone who was allowed to stay home from school due to grief over JL's death.
	12:50am Droll: I thought an album side was only about 23 minutes long. Surely this has played longer than all of Tales of Topographical Oceans by now.
	12:51am Esteban (NJ): droll loves Yoko. Don't worry.
	12:51am Joe McG: @Esteban: Let's try this...
	12:52am KP: So far, so good ...
	12:52am G: we'll see what happens, gotta log ( i was waiting to see what else could happen on that loko ono ! )
	12:53am Esteban (NJ): @Joe: So far, so good. No "cackling witch" vocals yet, though.
	12:55am Droll: Esteban, Yoko does a caterwaul.
	12:55am Joe McG: Dub dub, dub dub, dub dub... From trains to sinking ships... glub glub, glub glub, glub glub...
	12:56am KP: G, you know Sean was nice enough to come by FMU and actually do a show for Brian. The place is more blessed than ever.
	12:56am Esteban (NJ): @Droll: damn, you're right. I was going to suggest banshee...what does a banshee do?
	12:57am Joe McG: @KP: He liked Ken's velvet painting collection.
	12:58am Holly in NC: Given Joe successfully avoided the obvious (Meredith Monk, Diamonda Galas, Patty Waters, Jeanne Lee, etc), I'm impressed!
	12:58am KP: I loved the shot of him in front of the Hilary one.
	12:59am Holly in NC: Banshees kick ass! ;-)
	12:59am Esteban (NJ): "And then the ship sank" — why do I feel like I'm watching a melodrama about a boy from Bristol who plays soccer?
	1:00am KP: There was lad from Bristol, footie was his only love. Then the ship sank.
	1:00am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: absolutely. Banshees dominate. And they don't stoop to the mundane level of "screaming", they "scowl", I reckon.
	1:02am KP: Is this in honor of these new phones? Pretty wow already.
	1:02am Esteban (NJ): @KP: Precisely. Now I gotta look up the term "footie" :)
	1:03am KP: not sure if used correctly, could mean american football to them.
	1:04am KP: Knew it was wrong. Aussie rules. Sounds good though.
	1:04am Esteban (NJ): El futbol as far as I'm concerned. I think they call it "American Football" to differentiate the two.
	1:05am fleep: @KP What kind phones?
	1:10am Esteban (NJ): Homophones, clearly...
	1:11am KP: Red!
	1:12am Holly in NC: BTW, Banshees wail, & keen. Keen is an underutilized word for vocalized grief, I think. I have definitely keened on few occasions where grief was unbearable,
	1:13am Holly in NC: @fleep, have I mentioned how much I love your avatar?
	1:13am tomB: upstream fr Veronica Lake?
	1:16am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: Ha! Good to know. I was going to say "weal" (but then I realized that I probably made up the word...it rhymes with squeal, and...that's about it). Wail and keen. Much more dignified.
	1:16am Holly in NC: Joe, thanks for Dentists
	1:17am Joe McG: Mon plaisir, Holly!
	1:18am fleep: @Holly Thanks I have been a dolphin online since '93. Yikes. Are you still listening under a blanket? .
	1:18am KP: Agreed Holly. Will look into them.
	1:19am Droll: keen /kēn/ (n) An Irish funeral song accompanied by wailing in lamentation for the dead. Amazing the Dentists recorded that in '85! Pretty much a low-point for psychedelic power pop.
	1:19am tomB: JM: Before previewing my comment, I had written "Joe McGasko &His Personal Pronouns" in honor of your success in displaying six artists with the same train of mind.
	1:21am Joe McG: @tomB: I love it. Just like Dow Jones and the Industrials!
	1:21am Holly in NC: @fleep - this is 1st cold night in over week, all cool (ha) But yes, blankets, yay blankets xo
	1:25am KP: George Jones speaks truth.
	1:26am Yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Israel,Earth,Milky Way): Good morning
	1:28am Holly in NC: Good morning, Yair. Merle....
	1:29am dknight23: A set that can go from Yoko to George Jones and Merle Haggard, and work!, makes for great radio. Thanks Joe.
	1:29am fleep: @KP Thanks, I'll keep an eye out.
	1:30am KP: Kind of intense to hear both back to back on a saturday night/sunday morning.
	1:30am Holly in NC: Chasing wayward cats who ran out into icy snow & missed Robyn covering Only Ones! !!!! !!! Some sort of weird penance, I guess,
	1:33am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: Dare I say the cats prefer Merle to Robyn? Yes, they do. Good for them.
	1:33am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: Dare I say the cats prefer Merle to Robyn? Yes, they do. Good for them.
	1:37am Joe McG: @dknight23: Thanks, it was fun!
	1:38am KP: Paul Wiliams? i would have said Davy Jones.
	1:39am Joe McG: @KP: You guessed it! Paul Williams doing his very best Davey Jones impersonation.
	1:39am Esteban (NJ): OK, I didn't anticipate Dragnet...
	1:39am KP: dknight23 you are so right. love hearing real country on FMU. Fake country too.
	1:40am KP: I did not guess, sorry to say.
	1:41am Holly in NC: @Esteban - I would never dare guess what the beasts prefer musically. They run almost every other aspect of my life, and they've all heard tons, tons of both Merle & Robyn, so.. Dragnet! ;-)
	1:43am fleep: mark gutkowski – goodnight (it's getting late, you know)
	1:44am Joe McG: @fleep: Do you know anything about him?
	1:46am Esteban (NJ): @H: Fair enough. @Joe: I LOVE THIS SYNTHDISCOPOP (proper genre eludes me). Love it!
	1:47am Joe McG: @Esteban: Sylvia talks pillow talk to the robots!
	1:47am fleep: @Joe Found something on the 1910 Fruitgum Company Vocalist Mark Gutkowski had the pitch and timbre that the Super K team felt would be perfect for “Simon Says.”
	1:48am Esteban (NJ): Seriously!
	1:49am Joe McG: @fleep: Oh, wow, you're right, it's the 1910 singer going solo! Thanks, fleep!
	1:55am KP: Which track was MarK Gutkowski? tHanks
	1:56am Joe McG: @KP: That was the first 45, the one on Team (which is a division of Buddah, the bubblegum label).
	2:00am Evil Scientist: Wish I were a robot ):
	2:01am KP: My phones!
	2:03am tomB: "goin" to th country {Frumpy}, think I'll dye my hair blue (Missing Persons). Conscious?
	2:05am Esteban (NJ): Of course we remember Missing Persons.
	2:09am Holly in NC: What does it mean when someone's name in comment section is bright red, & rest of us are in black or blue (and indeed, what's dif between black & blue)? Voices carry.
	2:11am Evil Scientist: Reds are probably registered users (or users representing communist threat)
	2:12am Holly in NC: Evil Scientist, you are indeed bright red. But I'm registered and a very drab blue I be.
	2:13am Esteban (NJ): ASIDE: All you folks are using fancy computers? I'm on my phone: no color-coded threat levels, no avatars, no nothing...
	2:14am Evil Scientist: @Holly in NC, your nick shows up in red for me. So does my own.
	2:14am Holly in NC: @Estaban - switching to my phone in 1 hot minute, where yes, we are all equal
	2:16am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: thank you, comrade.
	2:16am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: thank you, comrade.
	2:17am fleep: This is not a fancy computer. This is a gray computer.
	2:19am Holly in NC: Ooh, I think I've figured out! Black = not registered OR using mobile app Blue - registered users who are "friends" Red - registered users who aren't yet friends Maybe?
	2:19am Evil Scientist: I don't have internet access on my phone... does my gray computer make me a bourgeoisie who uses colour codes to differentiate between classes?!
	2:19am KP: Love these old Vanilla Fudge covers. thnx.
	2:20am Esteban (NJ): @fleep: I hear ya. But, I sneezed during my prior post and accidentally double-posted. @Joe: this is a great song.
	2:22am Esteban (NJ): Red: folks who prefer Yoko Ono to Can.
	2:24am Holly in NC: YES. My theory correct. I just friended Evil Scientist, and now he's as drab as the rest of us. Heh Heh, I'm such a good friend...
	2:24am Evil Scientist: But I prefer Can ): (Musically)
	2:25am Minnesota Jeff: Hello, Joe!
	2:27am Joe McG: Hey, Minnesota Jeff! Nice to see you so late!
	2:27am JDM: the real mc5 haha!
	2:28am Minnesota Jeff: If John Lennon were alive today, how many more times would have been married? Obviously he and yoko would have divorced at some point.
	2:28am Esteban (NJ): @Evil: Aha! Red = folks who prefer Can over Tangerine Dream.
	2:28am KP: Shadow Morton was from Hicksville, LI. I went to HS there. Wiki also says Elli Greenwich from nearby Levittown was his friend. I'm sort of from both places, as is a guy whose name is never mentioned on these shores.
	2:29am Joe McG: @JDM: I'm gettin' hiya just listening to this!
	2:30am fleep: I turned all red nicks to blue just by looking at the profile pages.
	2:30am Evil Scientist: @Esteban (NJ), that's more like it (: (How do you "befriend" people?)
	2:31am fleep: Dog biscuits, initially, until they follow you home.
	2:31am KP: Fleep you are dolphin blue!
	2:32am Evil Scientist: Ah, so blue = visited link...
	2:32am Joe McG: @KP: I think I know who you're talking about. Yes, we don't mention his name here....
	2:32am Holly in NC: @fleep - :-)
	2:32am Esteban (NJ): @Evil: Be kind
	2:33am Evil Scientist: @Esteban, doesn't that only work for the real world?
	2:34am KP: I did find a former member of the later Byrds, bassist John York, also went to Hicksville. I traded emails with him about it. Nice to talk to a Byrd.
	2:35am Holly in NC: Who don't you mention? Hint?
	2:35am Esteban (NJ): @Evil: probably. Ask Holly...she has fancy computer.
	2:36am JDM: surrounded by tattoo artists for years, I have only natural scars. At 36 years of age, for the first time I thought of a tattoo (drunk), and its WFMU por vida
	2:36am Joe McG: @Holly: His initials are BJ. He doesn't have a Bear.
	2:38am Holly in NC: OH! Is a piano man?
	2:38am KP: Love Vanilla Fudge, finally saw the reunited original group a while ago. They did a fantastic Some Velvet Morning. To me, as great as the original is, it's the Vanilla Fudge's song, and prob Shadow Morton.
	2:39am Esteban (NJ): Hahahaha. I wouldn't have figured that out, sadly.
	2:39am KP: He did have us Humming in an earlier betterer incarnation.
	2:40am Evil Scientist: The Group Image were produced by Shadow Morton?
	2:41am KP: I saw him play a dance n gym at Hicksville HS. but he played Keith Emerson/Nice type stuff so nobody danced.
	2:41am Yair Yona: Sunday morning are awful, this is the start of our work week. Listening to this show every sunday morning, brings back the hope to this life. thanks Joe.
	2:41am Holly in NC: Moving from non fancy Costco laptop to non fancy free phone. Love 'em both. @Fleep you're right, simply clicking on profile turns people blue. But I'm still friends wiht Evil Scientist ;-)
	2:41am Joe McG: @Evil: Yep, indeed!
	2:41am Minnesota Jeff: The answer is 5. John Lennon would be on his fifth wife.
	2:42am KP: Yair Yona, so well put.
	2:43am tomB: Hicksville nixed stix pix
	2:43am Holly in NC: @KP - beg to differ - for me original, then Thin White Rope
	2:44am KP: I dunno, they were married 11 years and seemed to have it going on up until end.
	2:44am Joe McG: @Yair Yona: Wow, thanks! And thank YOU for giving us great music to play on this station, as well!
	2:45am Esteban (NJ): Thanks for NYD. Sadly, I only have the Dolls on cassette...why oh why did I buy albums on tape?
	2:46am Esteban (NJ): Answer: bargain bins.
	2:46am Holly in NC: @Esteban - because they were portable, remember?
	2:46am Yair Yona: @Joe - my pleasure of course ;)
	2:47am Esteban (NJ): @Holly: portable—yeah, that too.
	2:48am Holly in NC: OK, here's where you hate me when I confess how much I love Aerosmith's cover... I WAS A KID, DAMMIT!
	2:49am tomB: so if John Lennon lived long enough to divorce, Yoko would have no reason to be loyal. To whom would she be married?
	2:49am Joe McG: @Holly: That was the first version I heard! Night in the Ruts/Right in the Nuts!
	2:51am Esteban (NJ): ???!!! Never heard this song. Children of heaven, indeed. Great.
	2:52am Holly in NC: @Joe - my seagulls are SO scratched up.
	2:52am KP: Holly, what did Aerosmith cover?
	2:53am Holly in NC: @KP - Walkin' In the Sand.
	2:53am KP: Walking in Sand? Yuk!
	2:54am Esteban (NJ): @tom: clearly, Yoko would (should) be with David Byrne. Or Peter Gabriel.
	2:55am KP: Getting there, huh. Geat fun. Joe. Thanks.
	2:55am fleep: Thanks for a great evening (or morning) Joe
	2:55am KP: Sorry holly, doesnt seem entertaining to me but they had their moments. thanks.
	2:57am Minnesota Jeff: I imagine Yoko marrying some mega rich european eccentric.
	2:58am Holly in NC: @KP - It's very much a time/place thing. If you weren't listening w your best friend over a summer of 6th grade sleepovers, yeah, kinda sucks.
	2:59am Esteban (NJ): Good night, folks. :)
	2:59am Evil Scientist: Thanks!
	2:59am Holly in NC: Thank you, Joe
	2:59am Evil Scientist: Thanks!
	3:00am Holly in NC: Thank you, Joe
