WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from March 27, 2013

Listener comments!
	👻 3:00pm rrg: Welcome Interstate Managers!
	3:02pm Mike East: naturally, I was drug....
	3:03pm Sem Chumbo: You know how things are.
	👻 3:03pm G: Yes I can! Pick up the signal on a terrestrial radio till the Haitian dude gets off work about 5 and cranks up his bigass pirate radio generator on an adjacent frequency a mile or two away in Flatbush. :-)
	3:04pm Caryn: Any cats out there need an axe?
	3:04pm Alison Porchnik: I don't know about you, but I'm chronically laid up with hep.
	👻 3:05pm rrg: Hep hep hooray.
	3:05pm Sem Chumbo: Where, I ask you, is the righteous beef?
	👻 3:06pm G: @AP: Does that make you a hep kitty?
	3:06pm fleep: He just can't get it off with his new axe. That's fairly beefy.
	3:06pm Sem Chumbo: As I get older, I worry about having a hep replacement.
	👻 3:06pm rrg: I got your righteous beef right here.
	3:07pm Tome: greetings and felicitations
	👻 3:08pm G: "A wake-up call's..." -- Does that wording reach the level of a metaphor mashup?
	3:09pm fleep: Where has Shuggie been all this time? Monrovia. www.laweekly.com...
	👻 3:11pm G: I was really thinking this was the Mountain Goats...
	3:12pm Droll: G, Ditto!
	👻 3:15pm G: @Drioll: Great minds, huh. The vocals were uncannily Darniellian in spots. Not a few spots.
	3:16pm Laura L: Somehow I don't think the cat is going to come forward to get the axe. Cats are smarter than that.
	👻 3:17pm Alison Porchnik: I agree, Laura. Plus, what does a cat even want with an axe?
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - no comparison really - but it reminds me that Kerouac credits letters from Neal Cassidy - & it does actually scan really well & tell a good little narrative ...& where is Mr. Peter Cohon now & what's his guitar situation...listen: if yer a plankspanker, you know where the cat is coming from, Dad...
	👻 3:17pm Alison Porchnik: Ahh, the cheese.
	3:17pm Caryn: @Laura: especially cats that have just been burned at this dude's pad.
	3:17pm Droll: I love the other version of the Ween Pizza Hut commercial!
	👻 3:18pm Alison Porchnik: He can't play that one
	👻 3:19pm AnAnonymousParty: I don't know about y'all but I got a router at home, and I'm stoppin' at the bank on my way home to get a roll of dimes.
	3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - nice Smart Pop / Rawk start cap'n.
	3:21pm fleep: All Apathy Radio
	3:21pm Listening Out There: ...does Irwin...care?
	3:22pm berbo: Ramones don't care either.
	3:22pm dan: What happened to Irwin this week?
	3:22pm ?: I want to star this.
	3:22pm Caryn: For some reason, I'm starting to suspect Irwin doesn't care...
	3:22pm Woo: I was not expecting this.
	3:23pm berbo: Honey Badger don't care.
	3:23pm Stevel: Fear also is without care.
	3:23pm northguineahills: Well, we know he isn't Caryn ;)
	3:23pm Stevel: Care not, lest we care for thee.
	3:23pm Mr. Lowry: I'm not convinced this is really Irwin.
	3:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I always wanted to meet a woman named Karen Feeding. I have no idea why.
	3:23pm Jeff: Irwin's a rebel.
	3:23pm Tome: ..wants "amanda' and "thomas rewrites the Beatles" oh I'm gonna get fan mail now ...
	3:24pm Caryn: "Yes I Care, No You Caren't"
	3:24pm trim hunter: because he's a republican... coolest one since and before neil young
	3:24pm Ike: G, I hate those bastards. Submitted a complaint to the FCC lately? Please do. Sometimes if they get enough complaints, they actually do their goddamn job. transition.fcc.gov...
	3:24pm steve: hey all... wtf is going on
	👻 3:24pm rrg: Free-form radio. That's why we pay them the big bucks.
	3:24pm Chemical Brothers: It Doesn't Matter
	3:24pm Listening Out There: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/phil+collins/i+dont+care+anymore_20108026.html
	👻 3:24pm rrg: If you're just tuning in, Irwin doesn't care.
	3:24pm Droll: Irwin couldn't give fewer shits even if Jimmy crack corn.
	3:25pm Parq: Indifference is one of the great ills troubling our society.
	3:25pm dan: Is Irwin ill this week?
	3:25pm Listening Out There: This week's program: "A Path to Apathy"...
	3:25pm Tome: Irwin is having maybe just the usual ,,, stinkiin' thinkin' wednesday .. yahh !
	3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ooh, chem.bros: there's a certain Lothar & The Hand People tune that would fit that nicely...
	3:25pm dan: Ooooh... is this bikini kill?
	3:25pm Hep in the Country: Is the date of the newspaper clipping available, or any other information about its origin?
	3:25pm northguineahills: I remember that Chem Bros. track.
	3:25pm Woo: It was inevitable. This.
	👻 3:26pm G: @Ike: I'm trying to pin down an address. I think I may have a lead. Gotta check it a bit more. -- Gotta use those research skills to keep 'em sharp :)
	3:27pm Caryn: @Hep: photo info says Dec. 21, 1968. It also has the initials RS, which might mean "Rolling Stone".
	3:29pm Hep in the Country: 1968 is just too perfect. The letter is a classic. Thanks for the date!
	👻 3:30pm rrg: Oh, this is too wonderful for words.
	3:30pm Ike: G, that's awesome!
	3:30pm northguineahills: Harpers Bizaare!!!!!!! w00t!
	3:30pm Irwin: @Droll: I'm one of the few who DOES care if Jimmy crack corn.
	3:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or it might be an ImpersonIrwinator ...I usually have no idea what's going on here - so same as every other week for me...
	👻 3:31pm rrg: That's because your master hasn't gone away (yet).
	3:32pm Sem Chumbo: @ Caryn @Hep @Rev Rab:"Peter Coyote was born Robert Peter Cohon" bit.ly...
	👻 3:32pm rrg: Plus I'm too old to know what "w00t" means.
	3:33pm Caryn: Peter Cohon's letter reminds me of Arlo Guthrie's speech in the Woodstock film. "I was just rappin' with the fuzz, man... can you dig it?" Even in the context, it felt like a sudden overdose of stereotypical 60s lingo.
	3:33pm Caryn: @Sem: OMG!!!
	3:34pm Stinky_F00t: Very nice, Louis Smith is groovy
	3:35pm Caryn: Now my main wish in life is for an interviewer to hand Peter Coyote this press clipping and ask, "Did you write this, man?"
	3:35pm Yair Yona: Nice tune by Louis Smith
	3:35pm steve: whats the deal with the use of "hep" and "drug"? i thought hep was a good thing... but doesn't sound like it in this context
	3:36pm Caryn: @steve: in this case, hep might not be the slang "hep", but short for hepatitis. But what do I know?
	👻 3:36pm Alison Porchnik: Peter Coyote is also an ardent consumer of Dr. Hauschka skin care products.
	3:37pm Mike East: short for hepatitis?
	3:37pm Hep in the Country: Whoooooah! Could it be him? The dates and places all fit. And how many Peter Cohons cold there be? Either way, One wonders if the letter was serious or just a goof.
	3:37pm Mike East: ...shouldn't even bother when Caryn's around.
	3:38pm Sem Chumbo: www.petercoyote.com... But dead email link, site dated 1998
	3:38pm Caryn: @Mike: what? Just an example of "great minds think alike"...
	3:39pm Hep in the Country: Yes, in those days, "Hep" was a common term for type A hepatitis, which was enjoying a bit of an epidemic at the time, especially among cats who shared needles.
	👻 3:40pm rrg: Cats aren't really as smart as some of you claim.
	3:41pm steve: yikes... didnt see that coming! now im even more afraid of dirty hippies
	3:41pm Mike East: yes...your mind is quicker than mine, though, so I should just let you handle it. :)
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but he doesn't care what his Listeners think about the Playlist - 'cause - yerknow...
	👻 3:41pm rrg: Written by Van Dyke Parks? I always learn things from Irwin's show.
	3:41pm Woo: Caryn, good point about Arlo. But he was young so we make an exception. Graham Nash and Stephen Stills, that's another thing.
	3:42pm Carmichael: I know how things am.
	3:42pm Caryn: @Mike: oh pish tosh! Hey dude, us righteous cats mustn't get drug about these things.
	3:42pm steve: dirty, dirty hippies
	👻 3:43pm rrg: Be sure to ask her what the "O" stands for.
	3:43pm Laura L: @rrg, I agree, many of them are dumb bunnies.
	👻 3:43pm rrg: Because we all want to know.
	3:43pm fleep: Still working on "I was drug" Does it mean, like, bummed out?
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...perhaps Caryn is just an esp. charming Government SuperComputer...
	3:46pm Irwin: @rrg: Ognibene
	👻 3:47pm rrg: Hey, welcome to the Friendship Society, RRN63. When did that happen? I just noticed.
	3:47pm fleep: It's a drag ---> I was drug? Past tense of a noun?
	👻 3:47pm rrg: Ognibene? Oh, you're having me on.
	3:47pm Irwin: en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 3:48pm rrg: Yes, "I was drug" is a creative hippie use of the English language, which is very pliable in that way.
	3:49pm Caryn: "Drug": 1940s- US Black slang: exhausted, disinclined, bored (from verb "drag"). Thus sayeth my slang dictionary.
	👻 3:49pm rrg: So you're saying that Peter Cohon was black?
	3:49pm Listening Out There: "Jenny O" might have a better reason for the initial-as-last-name than "Kenny G" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_g
	3:49pm fleep: @Caryn: Danke!
	👻 3:50pm rrg: You could have told me "Oswald" and I would have believed it. But you didn't abuse that trust.
	3:52pm Caryn: And the verb "drag" apparently in the sense of "to irritate, to bore, to bring down" (1940s- US slang). Which also connects with the noun "a drag".
	3:52pm Hep in the Country: OMG, that's a good guess: "drug" could well have been past tense for "drag" among Sausalito type cats in that remote era. Hence: I was drug = I was subjected to a real drag.
	👻 3:52pm rrg: Why do I have to explicitly click "Return to playlist" after posting a comment? Why doesn't it just do that automatically for me? Jeeze. As if my CTS weren't bad enough already.
	3:53pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Don't let the machines get you down
	3:54pm Caryn: So, "drug" = adjective, "drag" = verb, "a drag" = noun. Now we can use the hep cat terminology in all its forms. And for health and safety reasons, be vigilant so you can distinguish between hep cats and cats with hep.
	3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - happened the very night of the Finale, young sir: Planned (what I thot) the right moment astrologically, even, to join up & to pledge - & of course my ancient PC threw a wrench in & delayed it (universe had own ideas); hippie enuff for everyone - ?... - yes, fleep - how old are you? Never spoke to a hippie? Good lord - I might talk like this given 1/2 a chance - & then old hillibillies are confused by 'stylee' & any more recent hip-hop speak...we should all speak King's English like Prof. Elemental I s'pose...
	3:55pm Droll: rrg, I think it's to inform you that you did submit it even if it doesn't appear for a few seconds. Maybe there should also be a "Don't ask me again" checkbox you can click every time that does nothing.
	👻 3:56pm AnAnonymousParty: Amanda!
	👻 3:56pm AnAnonymousParty: Oh, maybe not.
	3:57pm B. Vigilant: @RR: Who's Prof. Elemental???
	3:57pm Ralphine: Peter Coyote did almost die from hepatitis.
	3:58pm Laura L: Irwin, you have a freak capital "I" there in "Beat Circus." Not that I'm gonna start in on that.
	👻 3:58pm rrg: It could display that page for a few seconds and then redirect automatically. Are you saying that it already does that? And that if I just waited I would know that? Are you saying that I'm too impatient? Is THAT what you're saying?
	3:59pm dan: Hey Irwin, have you heard ZIP by physmiz?
	3:59pm Irwin: @LL: Fixed. That would drive me crazy too.
	4:00pm dan: Zziiiiiiiiiiiip ZZZZZZZZZiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!
	👻 4:00pm rrg: Nope, I had to click it. I waited all that time for NOTHING. And I'm a busy man. Too busy, apparently, to find all the typos that LL has been finding.
	4:01pm dan: Zip is 8 hours long, and literally takes you to hell and back... quite good though
	4:02pm Droll: rrg, Last time I reported a problem to Kenzo he patched the website within an hour. I know some people just don't care, but Kenzo is not one of them.
	4:02pm dan: @rrg, just keep waiting, I promise.
	👻 4:02pm rrg: I've been to Coney Island. There's an aquarium there. I'm just sayin'.
	4:03pm steve: rrg - a (semi professional) answer to this and many other related questions non-programmers ask: probably because it was easier to do it this way. building robust web apps like the live comments and Friendship Society can be nuanced, expensive, and time consuming... very very often less than perfect interactions like that are there only because they work well enough and its not worth the time and money to improve a feature that's less than perfect, but gets the job done.
	4:03pm fleep: @RRN63 You are a Water Rabbit. I am the previous rabbit, the Metal Rabbit. But this usage did not arise among Pawtucket hippies.
	👻 4:05pm rrg: In this case a tiny addition to the text of the page would handle the redirect automatically after a suitably short-but-not-too-short delay. Perhaps this is the way Kenzo prefers it. Hey, who are you calling a "non-programmer"?
	4:06pm B. Vigilant: Wikipedia says P. Coyote's first and middle given names were Pinchus Rachmil. The letter says the guitar was inlaid "with the initials RPC at the 12th fret. Maybe Irwin can get Peter C. (or his secretary, or publicist) on the phone and clear up this whole strange trip.
	4:06pm northguineahills: Yeah, Kenzo tweaks the site when he has time. Now that the marathon is over, he'll probably look at what else he can do.
	👻 4:06pm rrg: These guys don't sound like "Ladies" to me.
	4:07pm _crazyandy_______________________________: I'm fairly positive that some of my comments have auto-redirected in the past.
	4:07pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Then again, I'm crazy.
	👻 4:08pm rrg: How long did you have to wait? I waited over a minute and nothing happened.
	4:08pm steve: my bad rrg! really though, im sure you're aware, the answer to "why is this thing that could obviously be improved not being improved?" is "time and maybe money"
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @3:57 B. Vigilant : Live up to your name ( : P - sorry, but...I'm only human) - & check the Playlist! : ) - I keep whining that I want the Playlist & the Comments to be available in different Windows (esp. for Ken's Program w/ his gifs) - altho' likely as not I am wrong - & this would not help my Browser to have more Windows going - but I could @ least Stop one - &/or Choose... - My PC is scrapheap action, too - so I don't know how much others share my situation(s)...
	4:09pm Droll: rrg, A minute?! That's not nearly long enough. Patience - and never, never, never take your eyes off the screen or you'll miss the Easter Egg.
	4:10pm Brett: Sounds kinda like Homer Simpson singing "Heroes" by David Bowie?
	4:10pm Caryn: "I was on dope" not to be confused with "I was drug".
	👻 4:11pm rrg: Which would be "I was drugged". Right.
	4:11pm steve: you'd think drug would be a good thing!
	👻 4:12pm rrg: Now that we're relieved of the need to do arithmetic, the next logical step is to automate "Return to playlist." Today the pits, tomorrow the wrinkles!
	4:13pm B. Hep AND Vigilant: @ steve: Its generally a good thing, just not in this instance
	4:13pm northguineahills: I drug out a drug that drugged me but it was drugged (the whole experience)>
	4:14pm Stinky_F00t: Fantastic music.
	4:14pm B. Hep AND Vigilant: @NGH: You must have been real drug after that experience.
	4:14pm Caryn: I should really put this slang dictionary down. It's already made me suspect Barry Manilow's "Mandy" is actually about him yearning for drugs he's misplaced.
	👻 4:14pm G: Have we been drug this out long enough yet? :)
	4:15pm steve: right. its like how when the kids say bad, they mean good! and to get funky means to wiggle ones butt. allow me to demonstrate.
	4:15pm fleep: If I had an axe covered in dimes, I'd call myself Ten Cent.
	👻 4:16pm G: @Caryn: psst, ixnay on the arrybay ugsdray
	4:16pm B. Hep AND Vigilant: "Mandys". Now that was fun. They've been out of circulation for years, man.
	4:17pm Richard from Venezuela: Great set.
	4:17pm common: mikey wilde!! i have a couple of his paintings and a jesus marker drawing. great!
	4:18pm common: wild...sorry mikey.
	4:19pm B. Hep in the Vigilant Country: @Irwin: That was indeed a nice set
	👻 4:19pm AnAnonymousParty: Jenny O? Why do I want a turkey sandwich all of a sudden?
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Ah - B.Vigilant knows already & is having me on - & Caryn is a narc...never had hep, but perhaps not immune to other primary Hippie Illness - Paranoia... - I am NOT paranoid - YOU can't call me paranoid. - @this point it would be weird of not Peter Coyote - ?? - I stand (well - sit, honestly) corrected, fleep - ! Well Met, fellow Lapin. ...I wonder, rrg, if it's one's particular Browser, sortofthing - ?...
	4:21pm Turkey: Come and get it Honey.
	👻 4:22pm rrg: This is fine. Now play Miley.
	4:23pm _crazyandy_______________________________: I recommend "The Driveway". One of her worst.
	👻 4:23pm Alison Porchnik: Well this is a little alarming
	4:23pm Mike East: yeah! burn that shit down, Billy Ray!
	4:24pm Parq: Arson is one of the great ills troubling our society.
	👻 4:24pm rrg: Just pop across to the record library there at WFMU. I'm sure there's a whole shelf of Miley Cyrus there.
	4:24pm Hep Me, I B Drug: Miley who?
	👻 4:24pm Alison Porchnik: More so that his ex-girlfriend is in one of those trailers
	4:25pm Jeff: @rrg: said return is automatic for all us other kids - at least for me it's always happened moments after seeing but never having to click on the link. What browser are you using, and have you seen if it behaves differently in any of the other browsers available to you?
	👻 4:25pm rrg: Hey, the bitch asked for it.
	4:25pm Husband Man: Obligitory pop-country offering. Just in case you thought Irwin went soft on us or something.
	4:26pm Caryn: @RRN63: oh, make up your mind. Am I a computer or a narc? And is this paranoia because you're high right now? If so, please speak clearly into the hidden mic so my CPU can process the info and relay it to the proper authorities.
	4:26pm Still Hep: She really has a song called "The Driveway'? What could that possibly be like?
	4:27pm Carmichael: It aint hep.
	4:28pm Caryn: @Parq: is there anything that you don't consider to be one of the great ills of our society?
	👻 4:30pm rrg: Safari on Mac OS X. I could believe that it's a browser difference. On the other hand Safari is hardly a fringe browser so the site should behave properly with it, regardless of the root cause of the issue.
	4:31pm Droll: . o O ( I thought they were kidding about waiting to be redirected -- this is only a test )
	👻 4:31pm rrg: Cancon.
	4:31pm _crazyandy_______________________________: All I remember is she sings about her driveway, and the lyrics were god-awful and simplistic. No surprises.
	4:31pm Parq: Caryn, questioning the observations of amateur pundits is one of the great ills of our society.
	4:32pm Sem Chumbo: Finally, The Hep Replacements.
	4:32pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Bye friends, goin mobile
	4:33pm Woo: New Replacements! For a good cause. And it's nice to see a project that Dave Grohl is not involved with. Just for a change of pace.
	4:34pm northguineahills: I've only heard the Cagney & Lacey (Dean Wareham project) cover of "I'm Not Saying"
	4:34pm Caryn: My computer occasionally redirects me to the playlist after I make a comment, and occasionally doesn't. I have no clue why. But as I'm not too put out by clicking, I don't really care either.
	4:34pm Jeff: I shall now attempt to comment using Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...She started watchin' Oprahh & Rikki Lake - BAM BAM - we lose more Pink Flamingos this way... - Oh - I'm sure you're benign anyhow Caryn - like those people in 'The President's Analyst'...not w/ the Phone Company...
	4:35pm Jeff: Ooh... it didn't return without a click. We shall investigate.
	4:35pm Hep: Oh God. Maybe he really DOESN'T care...
	4:36pm Alan: Cool version of Carry On!
	👻 4:36pm rrg: Where can I get me this "Grahame Steinberg" album? Why does Irwin have all the fun?
	4:36pm Droll: I didn't get redirected using Chrome before I had to remark about how spot-on this CSN cover is. rrg, Seriously, ask Kenzo.
	4:36pm Mike East: new replacements?? Wha??
	4:37pm Caryn: @RRN63: aw, do I have to be one of the benign people? Can't I be James Coburn? I want to be cool.
	4:37pm Irwin: @rrg: GS -- Lane and Grahame are working on an album.
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Caryn just doesn't care. ...or so she says...
	4:40pm Caryn: @RRN63: heh! Having to click to get back to the playlist is just not on my list of technological pet peeves. My DVR breaking down once a week is. As are mobile phone autocorrects. Hate those damn things! Always turn it off first thing whenever I get a new phone.
	4:40pm Alan: No Grahame Steinberg on Spotify. dang
	👻 4:41pm rrg: Too bad there's no TiVo over there in Finland. As long as we're talking about reliable DVRs...
	👻 4:42pm rrg: You must be drug about that, Alan.
	4:42pm Caryn: @Alan: there is on Soundcloud, though. Get thee hence!
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Every time I see Tame Impala I think Tamla Motown ...but really - you shouldn't care...
	4:43pm dan: Is this bikini kill?
	4:44pm Brett: This is awesome!
	4:45pm Hep: @Alan: http://rockandrollreport.com/pigshit-garys-2012-top-12
	4:45pm Alan: @Caryn - splendid - thanks!
	👻 4:45pm rrg: Jeff, I grabbed the source of the page and I don't see anything in there that would redirect after a delay. But I might not be looking closely enough (and it's also not my particular area of expertise).
	👻 4:45pm AnAnonymousParty: Motorboat. What's your price for flight?
	4:45pm Caryn: @rrg: well, fortunately my other DVR is nice and reliable. The burning one just goes haywire routinely.
	👻 4:47pm rrg: Don't tell us your email address! You'll just get spam.
	4:48pm Alan: Thanks @Hep
	👻 4:52pm rrg: I can't get enough of those chicks and ducks and geese.
	4:53pm Hep: Is this Bikini Kill?
	👻 4:54pm Alison Porchnik: This is perhaps my favorite cover of this song ever: because it can't become a frigging earworm.
	👻 4:54pm rrg: Why can't it? I say it can.
	4:55pm hey irwin: please turn this up!
	4:55pm Earworm: You're both friggin' correct!
	4:55pm dan: Is this Bikini Kill?
	4:55pm Jeff: @rrg: [of the post-comment return] FWIW, it's been working swell for me in Chrome.
	4:55pm dan: Is this the guy who did that cheesecake song?
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I had a Robot figure of Wood. - What a hippie...
	4:56pm dan: about how he ate all the cheesecake?
	👻 4:56pm Alison Porchnik: @ RRG, No it can't. But that's Annie Get Your Gun.
	4:57pm dan: www.lyricsfreak.com...
	4:57pm dan: <A HREF="www.lyricsfreak.com... HERE FOR CHEESECAKE!</A>
	5:00pm Richard from Venezuela: Harnett sounds like a gringo Silvio Rodriguez
	5:00pm U 2: You too can own the "The Cheesecake Song" ringtone! And they make great gifts!
	5:01pm dan: very nice
	5:01pm dan: U2 is it as good as the jesus song?
	5:02pm dan: www.youtube.com... # Cup of Jesus .... set to a movie
	👻 5:08pm Alison Porchnik: At last it feels like a springtime afternoon.
	5:08pm Hep: Hoagy rocks!
	👻 5:09pm G: Yeah, was just out for vegetables in BK. Finally not damp, leaden, and near gale force winds, like most days since November
	👻 5:10pm Alison Porchnik: Also, it's Holi. And the Worm Moon.
	👻 5:10pm rrg: You mean it's finally safe to go outdoors?
	👻 5:11pm Alison Porchnik: Yep. Be careful of worms though.
	👻 5:11pm rrg: I'll be in Tuscany in a few days. Now you're telling me that I'll be missing all the great weather here?
	👻 5:12pm G: @rg: mezzo mezzo, it aint 10C yet
	5:13pm wolfg: wfmu @ the moment again is prolonging my life thx
	👻 5:13pm rrg: I had to wear the usual winter garb when I was outside early this morning. But I've been indoors since.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..define 'safe'... ...a Martin D-28, going back to @ least 1956 - if in good shape??? - & certainly w/ an interesting provenance...
	5:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hi.
	👻 5:15pm rrg: Seriously, does anyone here know Peter Coyote? We need to ask him.
	5:15pm Hep: @RRG: Whereabouts in Tuscany? Amo veramente Toscana!
	5:15pm lou: Coyote's email: sfzendog@gmail.com
	👻 5:16pm rrg: Howdy, Kenzo. We had a question for you. A long time ago, it was.
	5:16pm Mr. Lowry: Have you got a diagram or a I.O.U.? Because I ain't got no condominium.
	5:16pm dan: hey... is this Bikini kill?
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Irwin got his paroxysm out early - ? Now he's all orangeypage sunshine pop - ? ...Oh wait...
	5:17pm sFrances from VA: just got home from work & so happy to hear the Raincoats ~~hello WFMU
	👻 5:19pm rrg: Somewhere equidistant to Pisa and to Florence. That's all I know. The women in my family are organizing the whole thing. I've never been to Italy. i'm not even sure I can spell it. All I know is, there's this tower that tilts to one side. And allegedly good gelato.
	5:20pm Hep: Rev. Rabbit was right, at this point it's less likely that it wasn't Peter C. But I sill wonder if it was just a put-on, a little bit of street theater via the RS letters column.
	👻 5:20pm rrg: I don't need to wait until the end of the set to tell Irwin that this is a nice set.
	5:20pm Droll: Hi Kenzo, rrg said awful things about your parentage and I defended you. BTW, are we supposed to be automagically redirected back to the playlist we commented from? RRG and I have an extra page/step to return, but some people say they return directly to the playlist.
	👻 5:21pm rrg: Like Penthouse Forum, you mean. Yeah, that seems likely.
	5:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @rrg: You're not too impatient. That intermediate page is there for a historical reason that no longer applies. I'll probably look to change that behavior, although a much bigger improvement to the whole flow is likely to happen first anyway. @Jeff: There has never been an "auto-redirect" after posting a comment. @Revolution Rabbit: Separating playlist from comments isn't going to happen, but a different change is afoot that might make GIF-heavy playlists less taxing. The catch is, as soon as I make said change, Ken F. and others are going to start sticking videos on their playlists, bringing your browser crashing down again anyway. @Droll: I will never document the easter eggs. @Irwin: Oh, thanks for doing a radio show!
	5:24pm Hep: @RRG: Is it San Gimignano? Wherever it is you're gonna love it there, plus its not ridiculously hot there yet.
	5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): P.S. Suggestions always welcomed. Contact: kenzodb.com...
	👻 5:25pm rrg: Thanks, Kenzo.
	5:26pm fleep: Kenzo watcheth over us. We are his flock. We are not drug.
	5:26pm steve: its pronounced "Yakko hkhkhkhkhardner"
	5:27pm Jeff: Here's me commenting to see what happens.
	👻 5:27pm rrg: There should have been a comma in that last comment of mine. I just can't fix it myself. I'm powerless.
	5:27pm Laura L: Oh, yay! Strausbaugh coming back--that will be great. His brick of a book on the Village is going to be fantastic.
	5:28pm wolfg: unfortunately i m not drug either
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - those tricky subversive anarcho-commie hippies & their hiddeos LSD-mutated foetuses...& their paranoia about hepatitus.
	5:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We are all. Powerless.
	👻 5:28pm rrg: You WOULD say that, Laura, being into books and all that like you are.
	👻 5:29pm rrg: But Irwin has the power and he sometimes exercises it on our behalf if he's feeling kind and isn't too busy.
	5:29pm Irwin: Thanks Kenzo for addressing all Q's, inquiries, suggestions, and concerns. And for building this awesome db.
	5:29pm Droll: rrg, HA!! You need this writing guide: 25.media.tumblr.com...
	5:30pm Irwin: @rrg: fixed!
	5:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I see what you mean. Irwin is the editor in chief here.
	5:31pm wolfg: rrg is oke
	5:31pm Hep: @RRG: It's not Volterra is it? The ancient walled fortress-city?
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm totally drug by the browser loading stylee : - a sentence no single member of any stereotypical age or social group should fully understand ...or care about. - but I wanna test it too, 'cause I always click to get back...
	👻 5:34pm rrg: Hep, I just checked and the place is Montaione. About 20km from the place you mentioned.
	5:34pm wolfg: ya all this math in between posting
	5:35pm Jimi: Is this Bikini Kill?
	5:35pm Sem Chumbo: Bet that gayageum fret board is inlaid with Roosevelt dimes.
	👻 5:36pm G: Look, you're not in charge of your own itinerary. I suspect you could get herded to the cute more than to the interesting. (Pisa, e.g.) :-) Spend as much time in Firenze as possible. That's the most interesting part. Many of the smaller towns are in-and-out. Siena is second most worthwhile after Firenze.
	👻 5:36pm rrg: Thanks, Irwin. Can you now please fix my comment at 5:27 when I referred to a "comment if mine" instead of a "comment of mine"? Let's mess with history. We do it all the time here.
	5:37pm northguineahills: Just put forth another salary requirement for another job. I wish one these will just start me rather then the endless interviewing. At least there have been more opportunities lately. Listening to WFMU all day is all good and everything (actually, I'd be doing that too if I was working).....
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No Clicky no Returny for me - but my PC & Browser are so old & weak it's too embarassing to discuss...
	5:38pm Jeff: Um, oops. I must've just been on acid or something - I guess I was conflating the auto-returning behavior after signing in with the gotta-click behavior to return to a playlist after commenting, because I'd never actually consciously paid attention to each step of the process until rrg complained. I presumably just always clicked the return link automatically and didn't notice doing so. After posting, one must click to return. Sorry to summon up the Kenzo unnecessarily (lovely as it is to have him stop by and say hi).
	5:38pm steve: ngh - are you still waiting to hear back from the city job?
	👻 5:38pm G: If you have a car in Toscana, driving between the in-and-out hilltop towns and the like goes very fast... Just steel yourself. The drivers really are impatient. SRSLY You'll get up to speed, as long as you plan where you're going next before you turn the ignition key.
	5:39pm Irwin: @rrg: fixed, and subsequent apologia deleted.
	👻 5:40pm rrg: Thank you, sir.
	5:40pm Hep: @RRG: G is correct. Be sure to plan an entire day each in Sienna and Florence. Oh, but you're not in control of the itinerary. Do the ladies organizing the expedition know the region well?
	👻 5:40pm rrg: Uh oh, she said "bullshit".
	5:41pm berbo: I don't care if she swears.
	5:41pm Sem Chumbo: @rrg: all the best parts of that part of Italy were unexpectedly just there, on the way to the "sights."
	👻 5:41pm G: Someone drives a stick, right? Renting an automatic (aka training wheels for Americans who never learned how to drive) is a fortune, b/c they know they have you over a barrel, and few people want one there, they all learned on standard transmission.
	5:42pm smallybiggs: wow, this is pretty awful...
	5:42pm Hep: And if you can visit that town Volterra, it's really worth a looksee. It's a trip man.
	5:42pm northguineahills: Yes, Steve, it's a wee bit irritating, but I got two other offers to interview this week. So, hopefully one will start soon. I miss my manual transmission. So, much fun to drive.
	👻 5:43pm rrg: They know more than I do, that's for sure. And I trust them. I'm sure it will be fine. Yes, we'll have a car. And it will even have automatic transmission (so we're told). And it won't even cost all that much. The car, I mean. I hope.
	👻 5:44pm rrg: I know that we're visiting San Gimignano on the first day.
	5:44pm Hep: @Sem C.: Bravo, well put.
	👻 5:44pm rrg: And Pisa on the second.
	👻 5:44pm G: I still drive manual, because when I started driving in NYC I was also in Europe a fair amount, and didn't want to be out of practice over there when the heat was on. -- If you stall it at a green light, for ex., they will tell you THEY ARE NOTICING.
	5:45pm steve: grr, sorry to hear that. but if you're getting interviews, seems like employers are interested.
	👻 5:45pm G: San Gimignano "merits the detour," as they used to say in the Blue Guide.
	👻 5:45pm G: Pisa won't take that long. I'm just saying. Ive been there.
	5:46pm Caryn: @ngh: what I would give to even get an interview. Last time I got an interview was last June, I think. Waiting to hear back from the latest job applications. Easter is kinda messing with things, too.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I Googled the term 'SmartPop' once to see if I'd invented it (...well - to find some, I think) - & all I got was popcorn. - Surely the world is bigger than that (it's been used) - ?...
	👻 5:46pm G: It ain't exactly Sicilian pisa :)
	5:47pm northguineahills: I don't own a car here in the city, and it's really hard to find a rental manual transmission. Although, when I go to FL, I enjoy driving my bros. manual.
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Junip is kinda KCRW stylee. - I like it.
	5:49pm northguineahills: Once I fixed my email typo on my resume, I got a smattering of interested employers. It wasn't until the last two weeks I got a flurry or requests. I'm coming up on 20 months w/o having a real job, a bit depressing.
	👻 5:49pm rrg: I think they've planned a whole day in Pisa. It might be Sunday, when most everything is likely to be closed because it's, you know, Chocolate Day. But there will be food.
	5:49pm Hep: Si, San G is absolutely worth a visit, you can see it all in an hour. I recommend lunch at the outdoor cafe in the square. And don't miss the pistachio gelato!
	👻 5:49pm G: Just took three online trainings, ranging from three to five weeks each, all unpaid, but each leads to an additional paid work stream starting in June. No problem I just save the crap I wrote for older trainings and paste it into newer ones. 0:-) They all cover the same damn crap everyone already knows. It's an income support program for the full-timers who run the trainings :-)
	👻 5:50pm G: Food works. :)
	5:50pm northguineahills: Something will stick, Caryn, something always will. Keep at it!
	5:51pm steve: that's rough, im sorry to hear that ngh. btw, do you have any programming skills?
	5:52pm northguineahills: I have programming skills, but I've usually only used it to clean up simple things or to write pseudo-code for the developers. I'm ok, but no genius like some people I know.
	5:52pm *: Is this Bikini Kill?
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Escher filled his notebooks w/ one trip to Italy & never needed travel again. - Italy also makes me think of Suze Rotollo's book about being w/ Dylan early 60's - "A Freewheelin' Time" - but really, you shouldn't care...
	👻 5:56pm rrg: Goodness, where has the time gone? Look, we're almost done here again. Thanks, Irwin. G'night, all. Back here again in a couple of weeks (I expect that I'll be busy overseas next week).
	5:58pm Caryn: @ngh: yeah, the jobs I'm now going for are the same type that led to me ending up in a near-psychotic state last time. So I'm somewhat anxious even if I manage to get them. But as there is literally no other work here, had to bite the bullet.
	5:58pm Laura L: S'long, rrg--have fun!
	5:58pm steve: sorry if its annoying or lame to say this... if you have lots of free time and are relatively young and underemployed the answer is to start going on coursera or signing up for web or programming classes. its daunting at first but becomes easy and fun eventually and is a very good way to make yourself more employable. i didn't go to school for comp sci but taught myself and have managed to make a living as a freelancer for 5+ years...
	5:58pm Hep: @RRG: Buon Viaggio! an if you happen to be near a computer next week, check in w/us!
	5:58pm dan: PLAY BIKINI KILL!
	5:58pm Droll: rrg, Have a good trip! Irwin, Thanks again. All, see you next week.
	5:59pm Sem Chumbo: Over and out.
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gheezus Caryn - no openings for a human supercomputing brain like your own? - You're obviously looking in only a specific skillset (payrange, whathaveyou)...
	6:08pm Caryn: @RRN63: nope, have looked for anything I'm the least bit qualified for, but nothing. I was accepted into a thing where a professional whose only job is looking for jobs for specific people finds you a job, and he announced after 3 months that he was cancelling things, because even he could not find anyone in his group jobs because no-one in the area is hiring. Attempts to do SOMETHING went awry when even all 6 openings for cleaning women in the area announced that you need a driving licence and your own car to do the job. No car: no job. So yeah, no specific skillset or pay range demands, just literally no work, except for people with cars or high training in welding or other such skills. sigh
	9:51am Michael: Great show Irwin - danke!

Listener comments!
	👻 3:00pm rrg: Welcome Interstate Managers!
	3:02pm Mike East: naturally, I was drug....
	3:03pm Sem Chumbo: You know how things are.
	👻 3:03pm G: Yes I can! Pick up the signal on a terrestrial radio till the Haitian dude gets off work about 5 and cranks up his bigass pirate radio generator on an adjacent frequency a mile or two away in Flatbush. :-)
	3:04pm Caryn: Any cats out there need an axe?
	3:04pm Alison Porchnik: I don't know about you, but I'm chronically laid up with hep.
	👻 3:05pm rrg: Hep hep hooray.
	3:05pm Sem Chumbo: Where, I ask you, is the righteous beef?
	👻 3:06pm G: @AP: Does that make you a hep kitty?
	3:06pm fleep: He just can't get it off with his new axe. That's fairly beefy.
	3:06pm Sem Chumbo: As I get older, I worry about having a hep replacement.
	👻 3:06pm rrg: I got your righteous beef right here.
	3:07pm Tome: greetings and felicitations
	👻 3:08pm G: "A wake-up call's..." -- Does that wording reach the level of a metaphor mashup?
	3:09pm fleep: Where has Shuggie been all this time? Monrovia. www.laweekly.com...
	👻 3:11pm G: I was really thinking this was the Mountain Goats...
	3:12pm Droll: G, Ditto!
	👻 3:15pm G: @Drioll: Great minds, huh. The vocals were uncannily Darniellian in spots. Not a few spots.
	3:16pm Laura L: Somehow I don't think the cat is going to come forward to get the axe. Cats are smarter than that.
	👻 3:17pm Alison Porchnik: I agree, Laura. Plus, what does a cat even want with an axe?
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - no comparison really - but it reminds me that Kerouac credits letters from Neal Cassidy - & it does actually scan really well & tell a good little narrative ...& where is Mr. Peter Cohon now & what's his guitar situation...listen: if yer a plankspanker, you know where the cat is coming from, Dad...
	👻 3:17pm Alison Porchnik: Ahh, the cheese.
	3:17pm Caryn: @Laura: especially cats that have just been burned at this dude's pad.
	3:17pm Droll: I love the other version of the Ween Pizza Hut commercial!
	👻 3:18pm Alison Porchnik: He can't play that one
	👻 3:19pm AnAnonymousParty: I don't know about y'all but I got a router at home, and I'm stoppin' at the bank on my way home to get a roll of dimes.
	3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - nice Smart Pop / Rawk start cap'n.
	3:21pm fleep: All Apathy Radio
	3:21pm Listening Out There: ...does Irwin...care?
	3:22pm berbo: Ramones don't care either.
	3:22pm dan: What happened to Irwin this week?
	3:22pm ?: I want to star this.
	3:22pm Caryn: For some reason, I'm starting to suspect Irwin doesn't care...
	3:22pm Woo: I was not expecting this.
	3:23pm berbo: Honey Badger don't care.
	3:23pm Stevel: Fear also is without care.
	3:23pm northguineahills: Well, we know he isn't Caryn ;)
	3:23pm Stevel: Care not, lest we care for thee.
	3:23pm Mr. Lowry: I'm not convinced this is really Irwin.
	3:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I always wanted to meet a woman named Karen Feeding. I have no idea why.
	3:23pm Jeff: Irwin's a rebel.
	3:23pm Tome: ..wants "amanda' and "thomas rewrites the Beatles" oh I'm gonna get fan mail now ...
	3:24pm Caryn: "Yes I Care, No You Caren't"
	3:24pm trim hunter: because he's a republican... coolest one since and before neil young
	3:24pm Ike: G, I hate those bastards. Submitted a complaint to the FCC lately? Please do. Sometimes if they get enough complaints, they actually do their goddamn job. transition.fcc.gov...
	3:24pm steve: hey all... wtf is going on
	👻 3:24pm rrg: Free-form radio. That's why we pay them the big bucks.
	3:24pm Chemical Brothers: It Doesn't Matter
	3:24pm Listening Out There: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/phil+collins/i+dont+care+anymore_20108026.html
	👻 3:24pm rrg: If you're just tuning in, Irwin doesn't care.
	3:24pm Droll: Irwin couldn't give fewer shits even if Jimmy crack corn.
	3:25pm Parq: Indifference is one of the great ills troubling our society.
	3:25pm dan: Is Irwin ill this week?
	3:25pm Listening Out There: This week's program: "A Path to Apathy"...
	3:25pm Tome: Irwin is having maybe just the usual ,,, stinkiin' thinkin' wednesday .. yahh !
	3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ooh, chem.bros: there's a certain Lothar & The Hand People tune that would fit that nicely...
	3:25pm dan: Ooooh... is this bikini kill?
	3:25pm Hep in the Country: Is the date of the newspaper clipping available, or any other information about its origin?
	3:25pm northguineahills: I remember that Chem Bros. track.
	3:25pm Woo: It was inevitable. This.
	👻 3:26pm G: @Ike: I'm trying to pin down an address. I think I may have a lead. Gotta check it a bit more. -- Gotta use those research skills to keep 'em sharp :)
	3:27pm Caryn: @Hep: photo info says Dec. 21, 1968. It also has the initials RS, which might mean "Rolling Stone".
	3:29pm Hep in the Country: 1968 is just too perfect. The letter is a classic. Thanks for the date!
	👻 3:30pm rrg: Oh, this is too wonderful for words.
	3:30pm Ike: G, that's awesome!
	3:30pm northguineahills: Harpers Bizaare!!!!!!! w00t!
	3:30pm Irwin: @Droll: I'm one of the few who DOES care if Jimmy crack corn.
	3:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or it might be an ImpersonIrwinator ...I usually have no idea what's going on here - so same as every other week for me...
	👻 3:31pm rrg: That's because your master hasn't gone away (yet).
	3:32pm Sem Chumbo: @ Caryn @Hep @Rev Rab:"Peter Coyote was born Robert Peter Cohon" bit.ly...
	👻 3:32pm rrg: Plus I'm too old to know what "w00t" means.
	3:33pm Caryn: Peter Cohon's letter reminds me of Arlo Guthrie's speech in the Woodstock film. "I was just rappin' with the fuzz, man... can you dig it?" Even in the context, it felt like a sudden overdose of stereotypical 60s lingo.
	3:33pm Caryn: @Sem: OMG!!!
	3:34pm Stinky_F00t: Very nice, Louis Smith is groovy
	3:35pm Caryn: Now my main wish in life is for an interviewer to hand Peter Coyote this press clipping and ask, "Did you write this, man?"
	3:35pm Yair Yona: Nice tune by Louis Smith
	3:35pm steve: whats the deal with the use of "hep" and "drug"? i thought hep was a good thing... but doesn't sound like it in this context
	3:36pm Caryn: @steve: in this case, hep might not be the slang "hep", but short for hepatitis. But what do I know?
	👻 3:36pm Alison Porchnik: Peter Coyote is also an ardent consumer of Dr. Hauschka skin care products.
	3:37pm Mike East: short for hepatitis?
	3:37pm Hep in the Country: Whoooooah! Could it be him? The dates and places all fit. And how many Peter Cohons cold there be? Either way, One wonders if the letter was serious or just a goof.
	3:37pm Mike East: ...shouldn't even bother when Caryn's around.
	3:38pm Sem Chumbo: www.petercoyote.com... But dead email link, site dated 1998
	3:38pm Caryn: @Mike: what? Just an example of "great minds think alike"...
	3:39pm Hep in the Country: Yes, in those days, "Hep" was a common term for type A hepatitis, which was enjoying a bit of an epidemic at the time, especially among cats who shared needles.
	👻 3:40pm rrg: Cats aren't really as smart as some of you claim.
	3:41pm steve: yikes... didnt see that coming! now im even more afraid of dirty hippies
	3:41pm Mike East: yes...your mind is quicker than mine, though, so I should just let you handle it. :)
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but he doesn't care what his Listeners think about the Playlist - 'cause - yerknow...
	👻 3:41pm rrg: Written by Van Dyke Parks? I always learn things from Irwin's show.
	3:41pm Woo: Caryn, good point about Arlo. But he was young so we make an exception. Graham Nash and Stephen Stills, that's another thing.
	3:42pm Carmichael: I know how things am.
	3:42pm Caryn: @Mike: oh pish tosh! Hey dude, us righteous cats mustn't get drug about these things.
	3:42pm steve: dirty, dirty hippies
	👻 3:43pm rrg: Be sure to ask her what the "O" stands for.
	3:43pm Laura L: @rrg, I agree, many of them are dumb bunnies.
	👻 3:43pm rrg: Because we all want to know.
	3:43pm fleep: Still working on "I was drug" Does it mean, like, bummed out?
	3:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...perhaps Caryn is just an esp. charming Government SuperComputer...
	3:46pm Irwin: @rrg: Ognibene
	👻 3:47pm rrg: Hey, welcome to the Friendship Society, RRN63. When did that happen? I just noticed.
	3:47pm fleep: It's a drag ---> I was drug? Past tense of a noun?
	👻 3:47pm rrg: Ognibene? Oh, you're having me on.
	3:47pm Irwin: en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 3:48pm rrg: Yes, "I was drug" is a creative hippie use of the English language, which is very pliable in that way.
	3:49pm Caryn: "Drug": 1940s- US Black slang: exhausted, disinclined, bored (from verb "drag"). Thus sayeth my slang dictionary.
	👻 3:49pm rrg: So you're saying that Peter Cohon was black?
	3:49pm Listening Out There: "Jenny O" might have a better reason for the initial-as-last-name than "Kenny G" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_g
	3:49pm fleep: @Caryn: Danke!
	👻 3:50pm rrg: You could have told me "Oswald" and I would have believed it. But you didn't abuse that trust.
	3:52pm Caryn: And the verb "drag" apparently in the sense of "to irritate, to bore, to bring down" (1940s- US slang). Which also connects with the noun "a drag".
	3:52pm Hep in the Country: OMG, that's a good guess: "drug" could well have been past tense for "drag" among Sausalito type cats in that remote era. Hence: I was drug = I was subjected to a real drag.
	👻 3:52pm rrg: Why do I have to explicitly click "Return to playlist" after posting a comment? Why doesn't it just do that automatically for me? Jeeze. As if my CTS weren't bad enough already.
	3:53pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Don't let the machines get you down
	3:54pm Caryn: So, "drug" = adjective, "drag" = verb, "a drag" = noun. Now we can use the hep cat terminology in all its forms. And for health and safety reasons, be vigilant so you can distinguish between hep cats and cats with hep.
	3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - happened the very night of the Finale, young sir: Planned (what I thot) the right moment astrologically, even, to join up & to pledge - & of course my ancient PC threw a wrench in & delayed it (universe had own ideas); hippie enuff for everyone - ?... - yes, fleep - how old are you? Never spoke to a hippie? Good lord - I might talk like this given 1/2 a chance - & then old hillibillies are confused by 'stylee' & any more recent hip-hop speak...we should all speak King's English like Prof. Elemental I s'pose...
	3:55pm Droll: rrg, I think it's to inform you that you did submit it even if it doesn't appear for a few seconds. Maybe there should also be a "Don't ask me again" checkbox you can click every time that does nothing.
	👻 3:56pm AnAnonymousParty: Amanda!
	👻 3:56pm AnAnonymousParty: Oh, maybe not.
	3:57pm B. Vigilant: @RR: Who's Prof. Elemental???
	3:57pm Ralphine: Peter Coyote did almost die from hepatitis.
	3:58pm Laura L: Irwin, you have a freak capital "I" there in "Beat Circus." Not that I'm gonna start in on that.
	👻 3:58pm rrg: It could display that page for a few seconds and then redirect automatically. Are you saying that it already does that? And that if I just waited I would know that? Are you saying that I'm too impatient? Is THAT what you're saying?
	3:59pm dan: Hey Irwin, have you heard ZIP by physmiz?
	3:59pm Irwin: @LL: Fixed. That would drive me crazy too.
	4:00pm dan: Zziiiiiiiiiiiip ZZZZZZZZZiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!
	👻 4:00pm rrg: Nope, I had to click it. I waited all that time for NOTHING. And I'm a busy man. Too busy, apparently, to find all the typos that LL has been finding.
	4:01pm dan: Zip is 8 hours long, and literally takes you to hell and back... quite good though
	4:02pm Droll: rrg, Last time I reported a problem to Kenzo he patched the website within an hour. I know some people just don't care, but Kenzo is not one of them.
	4:02pm dan: @rrg, just keep waiting, I promise.
	👻 4:02pm rrg: I've been to Coney Island. There's an aquarium there. I'm just sayin'.
	4:03pm steve: rrg - a (semi professional) answer to this and many other related questions non-programmers ask: probably because it was easier to do it this way. building robust web apps like the live comments and Friendship Society can be nuanced, expensive, and time consuming... very very often less than perfect interactions like that are there only because they work well enough and its not worth the time and money to improve a feature that's less than perfect, but gets the job done.
	4:03pm fleep: @RRN63 You are a Water Rabbit. I am the previous rabbit, the Metal Rabbit. But this usage did not arise among Pawtucket hippies.
	👻 4:05pm rrg: In this case a tiny addition to the text of the page would handle the redirect automatically after a suitably short-but-not-too-short delay. Perhaps this is the way Kenzo prefers it. Hey, who are you calling a "non-programmer"?
	4:06pm B. Vigilant: Wikipedia says P. Coyote's first and middle given names were Pinchus Rachmil. The letter says the guitar was inlaid "with the initials RPC at the 12th fret. Maybe Irwin can get Peter C. (or his secretary, or publicist) on the phone and clear up this whole strange trip.
	4:06pm northguineahills: Yeah, Kenzo tweaks the site when he has time. Now that the marathon is over, he'll probably look at what else he can do.
	👻 4:06pm rrg: These guys don't sound like "Ladies" to me.
	4:07pm _crazyandy_______________________________: I'm fairly positive that some of my comments have auto-redirected in the past.
	4:07pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Then again, I'm crazy.
	👻 4:08pm rrg: How long did you have to wait? I waited over a minute and nothing happened.
	4:08pm steve: my bad rrg! really though, im sure you're aware, the answer to "why is this thing that could obviously be improved not being improved?" is "time and maybe money"
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @3:57 B. Vigilant : Live up to your name ( : P - sorry, but...I'm only human) - & check the Playlist! : ) - I keep whining that I want the Playlist & the Comments to be available in different Windows (esp. for Ken's Program w/ his gifs) - altho' likely as not I am wrong - & this would not help my Browser to have more Windows going - but I could @ least Stop one - &/or Choose... - My PC is scrapheap action, too - so I don't know how much others share my situation(s)...
	4:09pm Droll: rrg, A minute?! That's not nearly long enough. Patience - and never, never, never take your eyes off the screen or you'll miss the Easter Egg.
	4:10pm Brett: Sounds kinda like Homer Simpson singing "Heroes" by David Bowie?
	4:10pm Caryn: "I was on dope" not to be confused with "I was drug".
	👻 4:11pm rrg: Which would be "I was drugged". Right.
	4:11pm steve: you'd think drug would be a good thing!
	👻 4:12pm rrg: Now that we're relieved of the need to do arithmetic, the next logical step is to automate "Return to playlist." Today the pits, tomorrow the wrinkles!
	4:13pm B. Hep AND Vigilant: @ steve: Its generally a good thing, just not in this instance
	4:13pm northguineahills: I drug out a drug that drugged me but it was drugged (the whole experience)>
	4:14pm Stinky_F00t: Fantastic music.
	4:14pm B. Hep AND Vigilant: @NGH: You must have been real drug after that experience.
	4:14pm Caryn: I should really put this slang dictionary down. It's already made me suspect Barry Manilow's "Mandy" is actually about him yearning for drugs he's misplaced.
	👻 4:14pm G: Have we been drug this out long enough yet? :)
	4:15pm steve: right. its like how when the kids say bad, they mean good! and to get funky means to wiggle ones butt. allow me to demonstrate.
	4:15pm fleep: If I had an axe covered in dimes, I'd call myself Ten Cent.
	👻 4:16pm G: @Caryn: psst, ixnay on the arrybay ugsdray
	4:16pm B. Hep AND Vigilant: "Mandys". Now that was fun. They've been out of circulation for years, man.
	4:17pm Richard from Venezuela: Great set.
	4:17pm common: mikey wilde!! i have a couple of his paintings and a jesus marker drawing. great!
	4:18pm common: wild...sorry mikey.
	4:19pm B. Hep in the Vigilant Country: @Irwin: That was indeed a nice set
	👻 4:19pm AnAnonymousParty: Jenny O? Why do I want a turkey sandwich all of a sudden?
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Ah - B.Vigilant knows already & is having me on - & Caryn is a narc...never had hep, but perhaps not immune to other primary Hippie Illness - Paranoia... - I am NOT paranoid - YOU can't call me paranoid. - @this point it would be weird of not Peter Coyote - ?? - I stand (well - sit, honestly) corrected, fleep - ! Well Met, fellow Lapin. ...I wonder, rrg, if it's one's particular Browser, sortofthing - ?...
	4:21pm Turkey: Come and get it Honey.
	👻 4:22pm rrg: This is fine. Now play Miley.
	4:23pm _crazyandy_______________________________: I recommend "The Driveway". One of her worst.
	👻 4:23pm Alison Porchnik: Well this is a little alarming
	4:23pm Mike East: yeah! burn that shit down, Billy Ray!
	4:24pm Parq: Arson is one of the great ills troubling our society.
	👻 4:24pm rrg: Just pop across to the record library there at WFMU. I'm sure there's a whole shelf of Miley Cyrus there.
	4:24pm Hep Me, I B Drug: Miley who?
	👻 4:24pm Alison Porchnik: More so that his ex-girlfriend is in one of those trailers
	4:25pm Jeff: @rrg: said return is automatic for all us other kids - at least for me it's always happened moments after seeing but never having to click on the link. What browser are you using, and have you seen if it behaves differently in any of the other browsers available to you?
	👻 4:25pm rrg: Hey, the bitch asked for it.
	4:25pm Husband Man: Obligitory pop-country offering. Just in case you thought Irwin went soft on us or something.
	4:26pm Caryn: @RRN63: oh, make up your mind. Am I a computer or a narc? And is this paranoia because you're high right now? If so, please speak clearly into the hidden mic so my CPU can process the info and relay it to the proper authorities.
	4:26pm Still Hep: She really has a song called "The Driveway'? What could that possibly be like?
	4:27pm Carmichael: It aint hep.
	4:28pm Caryn: @Parq: is there anything that you don't consider to be one of the great ills of our society?
	👻 4:30pm rrg: Safari on Mac OS X. I could believe that it's a browser difference. On the other hand Safari is hardly a fringe browser so the site should behave properly with it, regardless of the root cause of the issue.
	4:31pm Droll: . o O ( I thought they were kidding about waiting to be redirected -- this is only a test )
	👻 4:31pm rrg: Cancon.
	4:31pm _crazyandy_______________________________: All I remember is she sings about her driveway, and the lyrics were god-awful and simplistic. No surprises.
	4:31pm Parq: Caryn, questioning the observations of amateur pundits is one of the great ills of our society.
	4:32pm Sem Chumbo: Finally, The Hep Replacements.
	4:32pm _crazyandy_______________________________: Bye friends, goin mobile
	4:33pm Woo: New Replacements! For a good cause. And it's nice to see a project that Dave Grohl is not involved with. Just for a change of pace.
	4:34pm northguineahills: I've only heard the Cagney & Lacey (Dean Wareham project) cover of "I'm Not Saying"
	4:34pm Caryn: My computer occasionally redirects me to the playlist after I make a comment, and occasionally doesn't. I have no clue why. But as I'm not too put out by clicking, I don't really care either.
	4:34pm Jeff: I shall now attempt to comment using Safari 6.0.2 on Mac OS 10.8.2.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...She started watchin' Oprahh & Rikki Lake - BAM BAM - we lose more Pink Flamingos this way... - Oh - I'm sure you're benign anyhow Caryn - like those people in 'The President's Analyst'...not w/ the Phone Company...
	4:35pm Jeff: Ooh... it didn't return without a click. We shall investigate.
	4:35pm Hep: Oh God. Maybe he really DOESN'T care...
	4:36pm Alan: Cool version of Carry On!
	👻 4:36pm rrg: Where can I get me this "Grahame Steinberg" album? Why does Irwin have all the fun?
	4:36pm Droll: I didn't get redirected using Chrome before I had to remark about how spot-on this CSN cover is. rrg, Seriously, ask Kenzo.
	4:36pm Mike East: new replacements?? Wha??
	4:37pm Caryn: @RRN63: aw, do I have to be one of the benign people? Can't I be James Coburn? I want to be cool.
	4:37pm Irwin: @rrg: GS -- Lane and Grahame are working on an album.
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Caryn just doesn't care. ...or so she says...
	4:40pm Caryn: @RRN63: heh! Having to click to get back to the playlist is just not on my list of technological pet peeves. My DVR breaking down once a week is. As are mobile phone autocorrects. Hate those damn things! Always turn it off first thing whenever I get a new phone.
	4:40pm Alan: No Grahame Steinberg on Spotify. dang
	👻 4:41pm rrg: Too bad there's no TiVo over there in Finland. As long as we're talking about reliable DVRs...
	👻 4:42pm rrg: You must be drug about that, Alan.
	4:42pm Caryn: @Alan: there is on Soundcloud, though. Get thee hence!
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Every time I see Tame Impala I think Tamla Motown ...but really - you shouldn't care...
	4:43pm dan: Is this bikini kill?
	4:44pm Brett: This is awesome!
	4:45pm Hep: @Alan: http://rockandrollreport.com/pigshit-garys-2012-top-12
	4:45pm Alan: @Caryn - splendid - thanks!
	👻 4:45pm rrg: Jeff, I grabbed the source of the page and I don't see anything in there that would redirect after a delay. But I might not be looking closely enough (and it's also not my particular area of expertise).
	👻 4:45pm AnAnonymousParty: Motorboat. What's your price for flight?
	4:45pm Caryn: @rrg: well, fortunately my other DVR is nice and reliable. The burning one just goes haywire routinely.
	👻 4:47pm rrg: Don't tell us your email address! You'll just get spam.
	4:48pm Alan: Thanks @Hep
	👻 4:52pm rrg: I can't get enough of those chicks and ducks and geese.
	4:53pm Hep: Is this Bikini Kill?
	👻 4:54pm Alison Porchnik: This is perhaps my favorite cover of this song ever: because it can't become a frigging earworm.
	👻 4:54pm rrg: Why can't it? I say it can.
	4:55pm hey irwin: please turn this up!
	4:55pm Earworm: You're both friggin' correct!
	4:55pm dan: Is this Bikini Kill?
	4:55pm Jeff: @rrg: [of the post-comment return] FWIW, it's been working swell for me in Chrome.
	4:55pm dan: Is this the guy who did that cheesecake song?
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I had a Robot figure of Wood. - What a hippie...
	4:56pm dan: about how he ate all the cheesecake?
	👻 4:56pm Alison Porchnik: @ RRG, No it can't. But that's Annie Get Your Gun.
	4:57pm dan: www.lyricsfreak.com...
	4:57pm dan: <A HREF="www.lyricsfreak.com... HERE FOR CHEESECAKE!</A>
	5:00pm Richard from Venezuela: Harnett sounds like a gringo Silvio Rodriguez
	5:00pm U 2: You too can own the "The Cheesecake Song" ringtone! And they make great gifts!
	5:01pm dan: very nice
	5:01pm dan: U2 is it as good as the jesus song?
	5:02pm dan: www.youtube.com... # Cup of Jesus .... set to a movie
	👻 5:08pm Alison Porchnik: At last it feels like a springtime afternoon.
	5:08pm Hep: Hoagy rocks!
	👻 5:09pm G: Yeah, was just out for vegetables in BK. Finally not damp, leaden, and near gale force winds, like most days since November
	👻 5:10pm Alison Porchnik: Also, it's Holi. And the Worm Moon.
	👻 5:10pm rrg: You mean it's finally safe to go outdoors?
	👻 5:11pm Alison Porchnik: Yep. Be careful of worms though.
	👻 5:11pm rrg: I'll be in Tuscany in a few days. Now you're telling me that I'll be missing all the great weather here?
	👻 5:12pm G: @rg: mezzo mezzo, it aint 10C yet
	5:13pm wolfg: wfmu @ the moment again is prolonging my life thx
	👻 5:13pm rrg: I had to wear the usual winter garb when I was outside early this morning. But I've been indoors since.
	5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..define 'safe'... ...a Martin D-28, going back to @ least 1956 - if in good shape??? - & certainly w/ an interesting provenance...
	5:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Hi.
	👻 5:15pm rrg: Seriously, does anyone here know Peter Coyote? We need to ask him.
	5:15pm Hep: @RRG: Whereabouts in Tuscany? Amo veramente Toscana!
	5:15pm lou: Coyote's email: sfzendog@gmail.com
	👻 5:16pm rrg: Howdy, Kenzo. We had a question for you. A long time ago, it was.
	5:16pm Mr. Lowry: Have you got a diagram or a I.O.U.? Because I ain't got no condominium.
	5:16pm dan: hey... is this Bikini kill?
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Irwin got his paroxysm out early - ? Now he's all orangeypage sunshine pop - ? ...Oh wait...
	5:17pm sFrances from VA: just got home from work & so happy to hear the Raincoats ~~hello WFMU
	👻 5:19pm rrg: Somewhere equidistant to Pisa and to Florence. That's all I know. The women in my family are organizing the whole thing. I've never been to Italy. i'm not even sure I can spell it. All I know is, there's this tower that tilts to one side. And allegedly good gelato.
	5:20pm Hep: Rev. Rabbit was right, at this point it's less likely that it wasn't Peter C. But I sill wonder if it was just a put-on, a little bit of street theater via the RS letters column.
	👻 5:20pm rrg: I don't need to wait until the end of the set to tell Irwin that this is a nice set.
	5:20pm Droll: Hi Kenzo, rrg said awful things about your parentage and I defended you. BTW, are we supposed to be automagically redirected back to the playlist we commented from? RRG and I have an extra page/step to return, but some people say they return directly to the playlist.
	👻 5:21pm rrg: Like Penthouse Forum, you mean. Yeah, that seems likely.
	5:23pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @rrg: You're not too impatient. That intermediate page is there for a historical reason that no longer applies. I'll probably look to change that behavior, although a much bigger improvement to the whole flow is likely to happen first anyway. @Jeff: There has never been an "auto-redirect" after posting a comment. @Revolution Rabbit: Separating playlist from comments isn't going to happen, but a different change is afoot that might make GIF-heavy playlists less taxing. The catch is, as soon as I make said change, Ken F. and others are going to start sticking videos on their playlists, bringing your browser crashing down again anyway. @Droll: I will never document the easter eggs. @Irwin: Oh, thanks for doing a radio show!
	5:24pm Hep: @RRG: Is it San Gimignano? Wherever it is you're gonna love it there, plus its not ridiculously hot there yet.
	5:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): P.S. Suggestions always welcomed. Contact: kenzodb.com...
	👻 5:25pm rrg: Thanks, Kenzo.
	5:26pm fleep: Kenzo watcheth over us. We are his flock. We are not drug.
	5:26pm steve: its pronounced "Yakko hkhkhkhkhardner"
	5:27pm Jeff: Here's me commenting to see what happens.
	👻 5:27pm rrg: There should have been a comma in that last comment of mine. I just can't fix it myself. I'm powerless.
	5:27pm Laura L: Oh, yay! Strausbaugh coming back--that will be great. His brick of a book on the Village is going to be fantastic.
	5:28pm wolfg: unfortunately i m not drug either
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - those tricky subversive anarcho-commie hippies & their hiddeos LSD-mutated foetuses...& their paranoia about hepatitus.
	5:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): We are all. Powerless.
	👻 5:28pm rrg: You WOULD say that, Laura, being into books and all that like you are.
	👻 5:29pm rrg: But Irwin has the power and he sometimes exercises it on our behalf if he's feeling kind and isn't too busy.
	5:29pm Irwin: Thanks Kenzo for addressing all Q's, inquiries, suggestions, and concerns. And for building this awesome db.
	5:29pm Droll: rrg, HA!! You need this writing guide: 25.media.tumblr.com...
	5:30pm Irwin: @rrg: fixed!
	5:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I see what you mean. Irwin is the editor in chief here.
	5:31pm wolfg: rrg is oke
	5:31pm Hep: @RRG: It's not Volterra is it? The ancient walled fortress-city?
	5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm totally drug by the browser loading stylee : - a sentence no single member of any stereotypical age or social group should fully understand ...or care about. - but I wanna test it too, 'cause I always click to get back...
	👻 5:34pm rrg: Hep, I just checked and the place is Montaione. About 20km from the place you mentioned.
	5:34pm wolfg: ya all this math in between posting
	5:35pm Jimi: Is this Bikini Kill?
	5:35pm Sem Chumbo: Bet that gayageum fret board is inlaid with Roosevelt dimes.
	👻 5:36pm G: Look, you're not in charge of your own itinerary. I suspect you could get herded to the cute more than to the interesting. (Pisa, e.g.) :-) Spend as much time in Firenze as possible. That's the most interesting part. Many of the smaller towns are in-and-out. Siena is second most worthwhile after Firenze.
	👻 5:36pm rrg: Thanks, Irwin. Can you now please fix my comment at 5:27 when I referred to a "comment if mine" instead of a "comment of mine"? Let's mess with history. We do it all the time here.
	5:37pm northguineahills: Just put forth another salary requirement for another job. I wish one these will just start me rather then the endless interviewing. At least there have been more opportunities lately. Listening to WFMU all day is all good and everything (actually, I'd be doing that too if I was working).....
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No Clicky no Returny for me - but my PC & Browser are so old & weak it's too embarassing to discuss...
	5:38pm Jeff: Um, oops. I must've just been on acid or something - I guess I was conflating the auto-returning behavior after signing in with the gotta-click behavior to return to a playlist after commenting, because I'd never actually consciously paid attention to each step of the process until rrg complained. I presumably just always clicked the return link automatically and didn't notice doing so. After posting, one must click to return. Sorry to summon up the Kenzo unnecessarily (lovely as it is to have him stop by and say hi).
	5:38pm steve: ngh - are you still waiting to hear back from the city job?
	👻 5:38pm G: If you have a car in Toscana, driving between the in-and-out hilltop towns and the like goes very fast... Just steel yourself. The drivers really are impatient. SRSLY You'll get up to speed, as long as you plan where you're going next before you turn the ignition key.
	5:39pm Irwin: @rrg: fixed, and subsequent apologia deleted.
	👻 5:40pm rrg: Thank you, sir.
	5:40pm Hep: @RRG: G is correct. Be sure to plan an entire day each in Sienna and Florence. Oh, but you're not in control of the itinerary. Do the ladies organizing the expedition know the region well?
	👻 5:40pm rrg: Uh oh, she said "bullshit".
	5:41pm berbo: I don't care if she swears.
	5:41pm Sem Chumbo: @rrg: all the best parts of that part of Italy were unexpectedly just there, on the way to the "sights."
	👻 5:41pm G: Someone drives a stick, right? Renting an automatic (aka training wheels for Americans who never learned how to drive) is a fortune, b/c they know they have you over a barrel, and few people want one there, they all learned on standard transmission.
	5:42pm smallybiggs: wow, this is pretty awful...
	5:42pm Hep: And if you can visit that town Volterra, it's really worth a looksee. It's a trip man.
	5:42pm northguineahills: Yes, Steve, it's a wee bit irritating, but I got two other offers to interview this week. So, hopefully one will start soon. I miss my manual transmission. So, much fun to drive.
	👻 5:43pm rrg: They know more than I do, that's for sure. And I trust them. I'm sure it will be fine. Yes, we'll have a car. And it will even have automatic transmission (so we're told). And it won't even cost all that much. The car, I mean. I hope.
	👻 5:44pm rrg: I know that we're visiting San Gimignano on the first day.
	5:44pm Hep: @Sem C.: Bravo, well put.
	👻 5:44pm rrg: And Pisa on the second.
	👻 5:44pm G: I still drive manual, because when I started driving in NYC I was also in Europe a fair amount, and didn't want to be out of practice over there when the heat was on. -- If you stall it at a green light, for ex., they will tell you THEY ARE NOTICING.
	5:45pm steve: grr, sorry to hear that. but if you're getting interviews, seems like employers are interested.
	👻 5:45pm G: San Gimignano "merits the detour," as they used to say in the Blue Guide.
	👻 5:45pm G: Pisa won't take that long. I'm just saying. Ive been there.
	5:46pm Caryn: @ngh: what I would give to even get an interview. Last time I got an interview was last June, I think. Waiting to hear back from the latest job applications. Easter is kinda messing with things, too.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I Googled the term 'SmartPop' once to see if I'd invented it (...well - to find some, I think) - & all I got was popcorn. - Surely the world is bigger than that (it's been used) - ?...
	👻 5:46pm G: It ain't exactly Sicilian pisa :)
	5:47pm northguineahills: I don't own a car here in the city, and it's really hard to find a rental manual transmission. Although, when I go to FL, I enjoy driving my bros. manual.
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Junip is kinda KCRW stylee. - I like it.
	5:49pm northguineahills: Once I fixed my email typo on my resume, I got a smattering of interested employers. It wasn't until the last two weeks I got a flurry or requests. I'm coming up on 20 months w/o having a real job, a bit depressing.
	👻 5:49pm rrg: I think they've planned a whole day in Pisa. It might be Sunday, when most everything is likely to be closed because it's, you know, Chocolate Day. But there will be food.
	5:49pm Hep: Si, San G is absolutely worth a visit, you can see it all in an hour. I recommend lunch at the outdoor cafe in the square. And don't miss the pistachio gelato!
	👻 5:49pm G: Just took three online trainings, ranging from three to five weeks each, all unpaid, but each leads to an additional paid work stream starting in June. No problem I just save the crap I wrote for older trainings and paste it into newer ones. 0:-) They all cover the same damn crap everyone already knows. It's an income support program for the full-timers who run the trainings :-)
	👻 5:50pm G: Food works. :)
	5:50pm northguineahills: Something will stick, Caryn, something always will. Keep at it!
	5:51pm steve: that's rough, im sorry to hear that ngh. btw, do you have any programming skills?
	5:52pm northguineahills: I have programming skills, but I've usually only used it to clean up simple things or to write pseudo-code for the developers. I'm ok, but no genius like some people I know.
	5:52pm *: Is this Bikini Kill?
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Escher filled his notebooks w/ one trip to Italy & never needed travel again. - Italy also makes me think of Suze Rotollo's book about being w/ Dylan early 60's - "A Freewheelin' Time" - but really, you shouldn't care...
	👻 5:56pm rrg: Goodness, where has the time gone? Look, we're almost done here again. Thanks, Irwin. G'night, all. Back here again in a couple of weeks (I expect that I'll be busy overseas next week).
	5:58pm Caryn: @ngh: yeah, the jobs I'm now going for are the same type that led to me ending up in a near-psychotic state last time. So I'm somewhat anxious even if I manage to get them. But as there is literally no other work here, had to bite the bullet.
	5:58pm Laura L: S'long, rrg--have fun!
	5:58pm steve: sorry if its annoying or lame to say this... if you have lots of free time and are relatively young and underemployed the answer is to start going on coursera or signing up for web or programming classes. its daunting at first but becomes easy and fun eventually and is a very good way to make yourself more employable. i didn't go to school for comp sci but taught myself and have managed to make a living as a freelancer for 5+ years...
	5:58pm Hep: @RRG: Buon Viaggio! an if you happen to be near a computer next week, check in w/us!
	5:58pm dan: PLAY BIKINI KILL!
	5:58pm Droll: rrg, Have a good trip! Irwin, Thanks again. All, see you next week.
	5:59pm Sem Chumbo: Over and out.
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gheezus Caryn - no openings for a human supercomputing brain like your own? - You're obviously looking in only a specific skillset (payrange, whathaveyou)...
	6:08pm Caryn: @RRN63: nope, have looked for anything I'm the least bit qualified for, but nothing. I was accepted into a thing where a professional whose only job is looking for jobs for specific people finds you a job, and he announced after 3 months that he was cancelling things, because even he could not find anyone in his group jobs because no-one in the area is hiring. Attempts to do SOMETHING went awry when even all 6 openings for cleaning women in the area announced that you need a driving licence and your own car to do the job. No car: no job. So yeah, no specific skillset or pay range demands, just literally no work, except for people with cars or high training in welding or other such skills. sigh
	9:51am Michael: Great show Irwin - danke!
