Listener comments!
	9:02pm Dave Mandl: Evening, friends and neighbors.
	9:06pm deanland: Nice way to kick it off, with sandy Denny ... just before Thanksgiving.
	9:08pm Dave Mandl: Hey deadland. Thanks. Yeah, very autumnal, that record. As usual, the "Late November" was a pure coincidence. Funny how these things happen.
	9:09pm BDR: Hey Man, thanks, I hadn't thought of Bailiff in a bit. There are no coincidences round here. Yes, a Gabriel reference, not a request.
	9:12pm deanland: OMG, Dave. Look how you spelled my name. Much as I like your show, I will never again say, "you killed me" as per the above.
	9:12pm Dave Mandl: Hey BDR. I guess not. There are forces moving my fingers toward the CD decks, but I can't begin to guess what's behind them.
	9:14pm deanland: Tell me you didn't roll the i Ching or pick Tarot cards before typing that.
	9:14pm LovecraftDude888: I was just playing After Halloween last night! Having had a crap Halloween I had to play catch up.
	9:15pm Droll: Studio jazz recordings often seem to be missing applause at the end of each solo. It can make a great performance sound like it happened during rehearsal.
	9:15pm LovecraftDude888: and now it's cold as heck out there. oh the humanitee! I had to spring for some new Isotoners today.
	9:16pm fleep: The Jerry Garcia Ride at Deadland is one of my favorites. You get to drive the train.
	9:17pm Droll: fleep, Watch your speed!
	9:17pm LovecraftDude888: Deadland? where is dat? hadn't heard of that as yet. I had some vision of having a Pink Floyd Convention the other day....I wish I had the bucks to do it. Let's do it! Get a grant.
	9:17pm Dave Mandl: deanland: No I Ching, tarot cards, or Oblique Strategies, I swear.
	9:17pm deanland: @fleep: !!!
	9:18pm LovecraftDude888: what about the Wharf Rat ride....you get to play with the rat
	9:18pm deanland: Whew, Dave. I thought maybe myThanksgivings were numbered, and this might be my Last November.
	9:18pm Dave Mandl: Oops, "deanland," sorry. No Jerry Garcia reference intended.
	9:19pm Dave Mandl: And good evening, LCD888, Droll, fleep.
	9:20pm BDR: Damn you for not knowing the obscure allusions we grab that we think you intend! Adjusting foil.
	9:21pm Richard from Venezuela: Hi Dave and all the listeners.
	9:22pm Dave Mandl: Hey there, Richard.
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: The temperatures' dropping faster than Courtney Stodden's knickers!
	9:24pm LovecraftDude888: I just read Katy Perry opening AMA Awards....Am. Med. Assoc.? what? does anybody care?
	9:25pm JakeGould: It’s nice & cold. When I go outdoors, I know only the strong folks are out there. I respect them. They respect me. No nonsense. It’s nice & cold.
	9:26pm Droll: Deadland would be an awesome theme park to run: very low overhead because all you need is a parking lot to charge for and everyone would bring their own party. Stinky hippies don't need or use hygienic facilities.
	9:26pm The Frisco Kid: !To rub it in, but It's about 55F here.
	9:27pm LovecraftDude888: You can stay at the adjacent Mars Hotel bla bla bla replica I'd like to see like, a Captain Beefheart Park! now THAT would be worth admission. The My Human Gets Me Blues ride.
	9:29pm pacific standard simon: Back from supper, with a jasmine ale. Howdy, Dave.
	9:30pm LovecraftDude888: So what up with new Rough Trade shop in Bklyn? Is it gonna be good or what? saying N. 9th St. for that. I hope it's good.
	9:34pm 12539: Dave, by taking the first letter of every other word in your last announcement I now have the location of Jimmy Hoffa's body. Maybe the next one should be a little harder.
	9:34pm Droll: My favorite tune on this album is Every Kinda People, this is s a very solid album. Good Kinks cover, too.
	9:35pm deanland: @12539 The 3d letter of the second word of every other show leads you to Judge Crater.
	9:36pm deanland: The tough part is how it takes weeks to get it, and then to know when Dave has cryptically switched to Amelia Earhart.
	9:36pm pacific standard simon: In retrospect, it's hard for me to find Robert Palmer any more irritating than The Police, although it seemed different at the time.
	9:37pm LovecraftDude888: I love Robert Palmer, he was one of my heroes for sure. When I met Jody Stephens back in July, I wore my best RP outfit: black slacks, white dress shirt, dark tie, and dress shoes etc. I doubt Jody cared...but I did it for a larf. The girls came and tore my outfit off. not.
	9:38pm 12539: deanland: Don't forget you have to ignore the "e"s. It's always "without an e" on this show.
	9:38pm Dave Mandl: Welcome pss, 12539, Firsco, Jake.
	9:38pm LovecraftDude888: I was always a Police fan, but god, Sting solo...not so much. I loved when Trouser Press called n. like the sun a vacuous cavern of a record.
	9:39pm Dave Mandl: Jimmy Hoffa's probably buried in the neighborhood where I grew up.
	9:39pm LovecraftDude888: that tape lit. put me to sleep when I first got it. so dull it was scary.
	9:39pm deanland: @12539: I know, which gives me such an identity crisis.
	9:39pm Dave Mandl: Frisco, not Firsco. Sorry, trying to chew gum, type, and do a radio show.
	9:41pm deanland: Note that Firsco came second in that string.
	9:42pm JakeGould: Spelling bad. Alphabetical order, good.
	9:42pm Droll: Sting's fretless playing is torture -- when not intentionally out of pitch it's unintentionally out out pitch. It's just wrong. Thankfully the producers typically dubbed in a synthesizer.
	9:43pm pacific standard simon: Sacha swings.
	9:43pm JakeGould: I actually liked “Dream of the Blue Turtles.” But past that, all the irritating stuff of that solo endeavor became his core. And I have 100% no clue.
	9:44pm JakeGould: Also, The “Dream of the Blue Turtles” tour was my first concert. Radio City. Had a t-shirt that official disintegrated 10 years ago.
	9:44pm Dave Mandl: @Droll: He shouldn't be allowed to play a fretless. Colin Moulding (XTC), on the other hand, should.
	9:46pm Droll: Even I owned (CS) Dream of Blue Turds: Omar Hakim, Darryl Jones, Kenny Kirkland, Branford Marsalis.
	9:48pm pacific standard simon: Percy Jones for fretless president.
	9:49pm deanland: What?! You mean "Dram of The Blue Turtles" wasn't Sting's passive aggressive plan to get Flo & Eddie to join up with BB King?
	9:51pm JakeGould: I was 16 years old when “Dream of the Blue Turtles” came out. Forgive my youth.
	9:51pm deanland: Dream, not Dram. Although "Dram of The Blue Turtles" has a certain pharmaceutical ring to it.
	9:52pm ttrish: Cold? From the very north : http://www.yr.no/place/Canada/Nunavut/Iqaluit/hour_by_hour.html Warmer air arrives in Jersey City from the south starting tomorrow, it looks like: http://www.yr.no/place/United_States/New_Jersey/Jersey_City/hour_by_hour.html
	9:53pm pacific standard simon: Drum of The Blue Turtles sounds like a rhythm band from The Bahamas.
	9:54pm JakeGould: “Dub of the Blue Turtles” is the reggae tribute to Sting that might actually exist but I will not even attempt to Google it.
	9:54pm pacific standard simon: Jah, mon, I play de tenor turtle!
	10:01pm Droll: Looks like this show's gonna be long -- 1st ID down and still now Final Stretch in sight. Fretless: Jaco. Mick Karn close second. The instrument has many great players, Sting is the poster child for "That's enough." My coincidence here is I listened to Don Juan's Reckless Daughter two days ago because... well.. Jaco, Alias, and Metheny are a backing band... At the end I wondered "What is the mood of this album?" I'm still not sure. It has one, I just can't put it in words.
	10:03pm pacific standard simon: Oops, forgot about Jaco. Well, Percy's still alive.
	10:05pm The Frisco Kid: this track is Mandlrific.
	10:08pm The Frisco Kid: Tim Hecker.. quite nice. Reminds me a bit of William Fields. www.williamfields.com
	10:11pm Dave Mandl: Percy Jones is one of my heroes. Jaco comes close.
	10:13pm pacific standard simon: I used to own an Ampeg fretless. In my hands, it was wasted.
	10:15pm Droll: "Jaco comes close"? Them's fightin' words, Mandl. pss, If you are wasting any basses presently, I can help you dispose of that burden.
	10:17pm pacific standard simon: Sorry, Droll, my 4-string fantasias are currently limited to the ukulele.
	10:20pm pacific standard simon: I'm going to try that cut-out-of-record coaster thing, 'cause I need a replacement for my Graceland coasters.
	10:20pm Droll: I've never heard of a "Record Coaster" before, I had to Google it. Don't the paper labels get ruined instantly? That doesn't look like a good coaster design.
	10:21pm pacific standard simon: Varathane!
	10:22pm Dave Mandl: Droll: You mean he doesn't come close? Well, I've always been a much bigger fan of Percy, but Jaco was great, no doubt about that.
	10:22pm Dave Mandl: I actually took some lessons from Percy back in the '80s at some point.
	10:22pm Dave Mandl: Maybe I'll play some Brand X?
	10:24pm pacific standard simon: Percy's website, w/YouTube embedded: www.percyjones.net
	10:27pm pacific standard simon: Dave, how about something from the Peter & The Wolf album, sometime?
	10:31pm Dave Mandl: @pss: Which one, the rock one from the mid-'70s?
	10:32pm Droll: Sorry -- I was in the kitchen, you already know you compete with dinner time. Of course Percy is one of the great players I was talking about, I'm actually generous with respect for bassists. I even like my own fretless playing. (Droll) Humor doesn't always carry through the internetz. You may most certainly play Brand X, you're well below you usual prog/fusion balance so far.
	10:32pm pacific standard simon: Yeah, with Eno as the wolf. NOT the Bowie one.
	10:35pm Dave Mandl: I'd completely forgotten about that record. Not sure if FMU has a copy. I definitely don't.
	10:36pm pacific standard simon: We haven't discussed the return of the drummer special, lately, and this makes me wonder... why not do a bassist special edition of World of Echo?
	10:37pm Dave Mandl: Funny, but the subject of a second drum special came up just yesterday, because I saw Irwin. A bass special might be testing people's tolerance, though of course I'd love to do one.
	10:38pm Dave Mandl: I'd focus on things like Jack Casady's opening bass note on the first Jefferson Airplane record.
	10:41pm Droll: I'm so glad the station's undisputed thunder-tubs master, Bryce, will be on the next drum special, and it's so soon!
	10:41pm ttrish: Drum special2. Yeah! Maybe you could make the bounds a bit porous and allow for a bit of bass?
	10:42pm pacific standard simon: Don't be too cautious; there's a lot of us former bass players out there. Casady is a big yes. We discussed Charlie Haden, I believe. Plenty more favorites.
	10:46pm Ike: Hello hello hello!
	10:48pm 12539: Getting all fancy with the animated gifs, I see.
	10:48pm Dave Mandl: Hey there, ttrish and Ike.
	10:51pm Droll: 12539, Some people wear their bling all the time, I'm not totally into it, but they might be fun sometimes.
	10:54pm Dave Mandl: ttrish: I'm not sure about that. If we let bassists in everyone will want to get in.
	10:57pm osvi: Dave, glad to hear the record fair went well. I went on my 30th bday, a long time ago. Bought my Chris Ware 'FMU t-shirt there. This is some nice right here...
	10:57pm Droll: Mandl, You already posed as a drummer because you're just a bassist. Things go downhill quickly... Rockin' Roy into Parmegiani was a gearshift.
	10:59pm Dave Mandl: Blame my parents for not allowing me to get a drumset. That's why I became a bassist. Come to think of it, they wouldn't allow me to get a bass either, but I bought one anyway.
	11:00pm fascinoma: wonderful show tonight, Dave. thanks for the Parmegiani.
	11:03pm pacific standard simon: Also, there's nothing at all that I like about Queen, aside from bassist John Deacon, whom I adore. Also Martin Gordon, of Sparks (Island Records version). EFD will know.
	11:05pm deanland: My 1966 Ludwig Pearl/Zildjian Cymbals/Gretsch accessories drum set came a a result of a desperate bribe from my parents. Best deal I may ever have made with them, come to think of it.
	11:05pm deanland: Typo: came as a result (not a a result)
	11:08pm Dave Mandl: Hi osvi. And thanks, fascinoma.
	11:11pm Cubicle Carl: This sounds a little like Ken Nordine.
	11:11pm pacific standard simon: Regarding Jack Casady, I'd go for that first note at the beginning of "House At Poohneil Corners", the Yggdrasil bass, as it was said. My other idol on bass was Paul Gray, of Eddie & The Hot Rods.
	11:16pm Droll: Cerrone is a drummer and he's still alive. He did disco mega-jams!
	11:20pm Droll: . o O ( Humor is completely filtered out by the comments board, or I'm not funny, or DM has no sense of humor, or some combination )
	11:21pm pacific standard simon: You gotta LOL it like you talk it, lest you lose that beat.
	11:22pm Dave Mandl: I have no sense of humor. Also, I could only see the first couple of words of your comment when I was on mic, including the crucial bit about the disco jams. Oh well.
	11:23pm Dave Mandl: There are a few Cerrones, though the disco Cerrone was the king.
	11:23pm Droll: Recently Kenzo said he couldn't figure out if I was making a joke or "standing on [my] head". 30-40 seconds of delay also throws off timing.
	11:24pm 12539: I'll never trust anything out of Mandl's mouth ever again.
	11:24pm Dave Mandl: @pss: Seriously, listen to when Casady comes in at the beginning of "Blues from an Airplane." Four little notes, but you can tell it's a master at work.
	11:25pm Dave Mandl: Casady's playing on "After Bathing at Baxter's" generally is the best.
	11:27pm Droll: All talk and no special, that's what they say...
	11:29pm pacific standard simon: I will, I will. I'm also quite fond of that first Hot Tuna record. Also nuts about Spencer Dryden's drum intro to "She Has Funny Cars".
	11:31pm pacific standard simon: Drummers are iconic, bassists are ironic.
	11:31pm ttrish: ..Drums. Yes. So many frequencies in the spectrum. So few that are syncopated.
	11:32pm pacific standard simon: Although The Airplane may reverse that pattern.
	11:33pm Droll: Okay -- Let's say we compromise with a rhythm section show: Burford-Wetton, Ward-Butler, Rogers-Edwards, etc.
	11:34pm pacific standard simon: McCartney-Starr
	11:35pm pacific standard simon: Haden-Higgins
	11:35pm Droll: Thopmson-Edwards, I meant. pss, I think you mean McCartney-McCartney.
	11:35pm pacific standard simon: I think not.
	11:38pm pacific standard simon: All-cello show would be pushing it.
	11:41pm pacific standard simon: Is the drummer a part of the quartet?
	11:43pm Dave Mandl: The Balanescus? No, isn't.
	11:43pm JakeGould: This is nice. Thanks, Dave.
	11:45pm pacific standard simon: That's what I was wondering. Sometimes I have trouble waiting for the back-announce.
	11:52pm Dave Mandl: That should have been "No, he isn't" (part of the quartet).
	11:52pm Dave Mandl: Jake: Yeah, I agree.
	11:54pm pacific standard simon: If I wanted to follow anyone on Twitter, which I would right before I slashed my wrists, I would follow you. Plus, I already follow you on Tumbler.
	11:54pm 12539: Funny "coincidence" about those pieces with "II/2" in the name. Now I can set my decoder ring for next week's show.
	11:56pm Dave Mandl: @pss: Don't do it. (I mean slash your wrists! You definitely should follow me.)
	11:57pm pacific standard simon: Don't worry, ain't gonna (slash, twitter, facebook).
	11:58pm Ike: Hearing Biosphere is always good. I believe Biosphere features someone who used to be in Bel Canto, a favorite from the 90s.
	11:58pm JakeGould: You follow him on the Tumbler? What about Tumblr. I think now that Yahoo! took over the spambot filters on Tumblr are busted.
	11:59pm Droll: 12539, Don't forget "Double Fun" and "Eight Electronic Pieces" or you'll never find the right Numbers Station. DM, Sorry your Mellotron is broken and you had you use so many real strings this week. Until the next Final Stretch... Pot your bed down!
	11:59pm 12539: Thanks, Dave.
	12:00am pacific standard simon: I know, Jake. It's a legacy social media thing for me. I have some history with it.
	12:00am Dave Mandl: Night, everyone. Have a great week.
	12:01am ttrish: Enjoyed listening, Dave. To-do's got done. Thanks.
	4:46am Chris from Stroud, England: Hey, great start to the show with Sandy. Held up all the way through dude. Fair play to you!

	9:12pm Dave Mandl: Hey BDR. I guess not. There are forces moving my fingers toward the CD decks, but I can't begin to guess what's behind them.
	9:14pm deanland: Tell me you didn't roll the i Ching or pick Tarot cards before typing that.
	9:14pm LovecraftDude888: I was just playing After Halloween last night! Having had a crap Halloween I had to play catch up.
	9:15pm Droll: Studio jazz recordings often seem to be missing applause at the end of each solo. It can make a great performance sound like it happened during rehearsal.
	9:15pm LovecraftDude888: and now it's cold as heck out there. oh the humanitee! I had to spring for some new Isotoners today.
	9:16pm fleep: The Jerry Garcia Ride at Deadland is one of my favorites. You get to drive the train.
	9:17pm Droll: fleep, Watch your speed!
	9:17pm LovecraftDude888: Deadland? where is dat? hadn't heard of that as yet. I had some vision of having a Pink Floyd Convention the other day....I wish I had the bucks to do it. Let's do it! Get a grant.
	9:17pm Dave Mandl: deanland: No I Ching, tarot cards, or Oblique Strategies, I swear.
	9:17pm deanland: @fleep: !!!
	9:18pm LovecraftDude888: what about the Wharf Rat ride....you get to play with the rat
	9:18pm deanland: Whew, Dave. I thought maybe myThanksgivings were numbered, and this might be my Last November.
	9:18pm Dave Mandl: Oops, "deanland," sorry. No Jerry Garcia reference intended.
	9:19pm Dave Mandl: And good evening, LCD888, Droll, fleep.
	9:20pm BDR: Damn you for not knowing the obscure allusions we grab that we think you intend! Adjusting foil.
	9:21pm Richard from Venezuela: Hi Dave and all the listeners.
	9:22pm Dave Mandl: Hey there, Richard.
	9:22pm LovecraftDude888: The temperatures' dropping faster than Courtney Stodden's knickers!
	9:24pm LovecraftDude888: I just read Katy Perry opening AMA Awards....Am. Med. Assoc.? what? does anybody care?
	9:25pm JakeGould: It’s nice & cold. When I go outdoors, I know only the strong folks are out there. I respect them. They respect me. No nonsense. It’s nice & cold.
	9:26pm Droll: Deadland would be an awesome theme park to run: very low overhead because all you need is a parking lot to charge for and everyone would bring their own party. Stinky hippies don't need or use hygienic facilities.
	9:26pm The Frisco Kid: !To rub it in, but It's about 55F here.
	9:27pm LovecraftDude888: You can stay at the adjacent Mars Hotel bla bla bla replica I'd like to see like, a Captain Beefheart Park! now THAT would be worth admission. The My Human Gets Me Blues ride.
	9:29pm pacific standard simon: Back from supper, with a jasmine ale. Howdy, Dave.
	9:30pm LovecraftDude888: So what up with new Rough Trade shop in Bklyn? Is it gonna be good or what? saying N. 9th St. for that. I hope it's good.
	9:34pm 12539: Dave, by taking the first letter of every other word in your last announcement I now have the location of Jimmy Hoffa's body. Maybe the next one should be a little harder.

	9:36pm pacific standard simon: In retrospect, it's hard for me to find Robert Palmer any more irritating than The Police, although it seemed different at the time.

	9:42pm Droll: Sting's fretless playing is torture -- when not intentionally out of pitch it's unintentionally out out pitch. It's just wrong. Thankfully the producers typically dubbed in a synthesizer.
	9:43pm pacific standard simon: Sacha swings.
	9:43pm JakeGould: I actually liked “Dream of the Blue Turtles.” But past that, all the irritating stuff of that solo endeavor became his core. And I have 100% no clue.
	9:44pm JakeGould: Also, The “Dream of the Blue Turtles” tour was my first concert. Radio City. Had a t-shirt that official disintegrated 10 years ago.
	9:44pm Dave Mandl: @Droll: He shouldn't be allowed to play a fretless. Colin Moulding (XTC), on the other hand, should.
	9:46pm Droll: Even I owned (CS) Dream of Blue Turds: Omar Hakim, Darryl Jones, Kenny Kirkland, Branford Marsalis.
	9:48pm pacific standard simon: Percy Jones for fretless president.
	9:49pm deanland: What?! You mean "Dram of The Blue Turtles" wasn't Sting's passive aggressive plan to get Flo & Eddie to join up with BB King?
	9:51pm JakeGould: I was 16 years old when “Dream of the Blue Turtles” came out. Forgive my youth.
	9:51pm deanland: Dream, not Dram. Although "Dram of The Blue Turtles" has a certain pharmaceutical ring to it.
	9:52pm ttrish: Cold? From the very north : http://www.yr.no/place/Canada/Nunavut/Iqaluit/hour_by_hour.html Warmer air arrives in Jersey City from the south starting tomorrow, it looks like: http://www.yr.no/place/United_States/New_Jersey/Jersey_City/hour_by_hour.html
	9:53pm pacific standard simon: Drum of The Blue Turtles sounds like a rhythm band from The Bahamas.
	9:54pm JakeGould: “Dub of the Blue Turtles” is the reggae tribute to Sting that might actually exist but I will not even attempt to Google it.
	9:54pm pacific standard simon: Jah, mon, I play de tenor turtle!
	10:01pm Droll: Looks like this show's gonna be long -- 1st ID down and still now Final Stretch in sight. Fretless: Jaco. Mick Karn close second. The instrument has many great players, Sting is the poster child for "That's enough." My coincidence here is I listened to Don Juan's Reckless Daughter two days ago because... well.. Jaco, Alias, and Metheny are a backing band... At the end I wondered "What is the mood of this album?" I'm still not sure. It has one, I just can't put it in words.
	10:03pm pacific standard simon: Oops, forgot about Jaco. Well, Percy's still alive.
	10:05pm The Frisco Kid: this track is Mandlrific.
	10:08pm The Frisco Kid: Tim Hecker.. quite nice. Reminds me a bit of William Fields. www.williamfields.com
	10:11pm Dave Mandl: Percy Jones is one of my heroes. Jaco comes close.
	10:13pm pacific standard simon: I used to own an Ampeg fretless. In my hands, it was wasted.
	10:15pm Droll: "Jaco comes close"? Them's fightin' words, Mandl. pss, If you are wasting any basses presently, I can help you dispose of that burden.
	10:17pm pacific standard simon: Sorry, Droll, my 4-string fantasias are currently limited to the ukulele.
	10:20pm pacific standard simon: I'm going to try that cut-out-of-record coaster thing, 'cause I need a replacement for my Graceland coasters.
	10:20pm Droll: I've never heard of a "Record Coaster" before, I had to Google it. Don't the paper labels get ruined instantly? That doesn't look like a good coaster design.
	10:21pm pacific standard simon: Varathane!
	10:22pm Dave Mandl: Droll: You mean he doesn't come close? Well, I've always been a much bigger fan of Percy, but Jaco was great, no doubt about that.
	10:22pm Dave Mandl: I actually took some lessons from Percy back in the '80s at some point.
	10:22pm Dave Mandl: Maybe I'll play some Brand X?
	10:24pm pacific standard simon: Percy's website, w/YouTube embedded: www.percyjones.net
	10:27pm pacific standard simon: Dave, how about something from the Peter & The Wolf album, sometime?
	10:31pm Dave Mandl: @pss: Which one, the rock one from the mid-'70s?
	10:32pm Droll: Sorry -- I was in the kitchen, you already know you compete with dinner time. Of course Percy is one of the great players I was talking about, I'm actually generous with respect for bassists. I even like my own fretless playing. (Droll) Humor doesn't always carry through the internetz. You may most certainly play Brand X, you're well below you usual prog/fusion balance so far.
	10:32pm pacific standard simon: Yeah, with Eno as the wolf. NOT the Bowie one.
	10:35pm Dave Mandl: I'd completely forgotten about that record. Not sure if FMU has a copy. I definitely don't.
	10:36pm pacific standard simon: We haven't discussed the return of the drummer special, lately, and this makes me wonder... why not do a bassist special edition of World of Echo?
	10:37pm Dave Mandl: Funny, but the subject of a second drum special came up just yesterday, because I saw Irwin. A bass special might be testing people's tolerance, though of course I'd love to do one.
	10:38pm Dave Mandl: I'd focus on things like Jack Casady's opening bass note on the first Jefferson Airplane record.
	10:41pm Droll: I'm so glad the station's undisputed thunder-tubs master, Bryce, will be on the next drum special, and it's so soon!
	10:41pm ttrish: Drum special2. Yeah! Maybe you could make the bounds a bit porous and allow for a bit of bass?
	10:42pm pacific standard simon: Don't be too cautious; there's a lot of us former bass players out there. Casady is a big yes. We discussed Charlie Haden, I believe. Plenty more favorites.
	10:46pm Ike: Hello hello hello!
	10:48pm 12539: Getting all fancy with the animated gifs, I see.
	10:48pm Dave Mandl: Hey there, ttrish and Ike.
	10:51pm Droll: 12539, Some people wear their bling all the time, I'm not totally into it, but they might be fun sometimes.
	10:54pm Dave Mandl: ttrish: I'm not sure about that. If we let bassists in everyone will want to get in.
	10:57pm osvi: Dave, glad to hear the record fair went well. I went on my 30th bday, a long time ago. Bought my Chris Ware 'FMU t-shirt there. This is some nice right here...
	10:57pm Droll: Mandl, You already posed as a drummer because you're just a bassist. Things go downhill quickly... Rockin' Roy into Parmegiani was a gearshift.
	10:59pm Dave Mandl: Blame my parents for not allowing me to get a drumset. That's why I became a bassist. Come to think of it, they wouldn't allow me to get a bass either, but I bought one anyway.
	11:00pm fascinoma: wonderful show tonight, Dave. thanks for the Parmegiani.
	11:03pm pacific standard simon: Also, there's nothing at all that I like about Queen, aside from bassist John Deacon, whom I adore. Also Martin Gordon, of Sparks (Island Records version). EFD will know.
	11:05pm deanland: My 1966 Ludwig Pearl/Zildjian Cymbals/Gretsch accessories drum set came a a result of a desperate bribe from my parents. Best deal I may ever have made with them, come to think of it.
	11:05pm deanland: Typo: came as a result (not a a result)
	11:08pm Dave Mandl: Hi osvi. And thanks, fascinoma.
	11:11pm Cubicle Carl: This sounds a little like Ken Nordine.
	11:11pm pacific standard simon: Regarding Jack Casady, I'd go for that first note at the beginning of "House At Poohneil Corners", the Yggdrasil bass, as it was said. My other idol on bass was Paul Gray, of Eddie & The Hot Rods.
	11:16pm Droll: Cerrone is a drummer and he's still alive. He did disco mega-jams!
	11:20pm Droll: . o O ( Humor is completely filtered out by the comments board, or I'm not funny, or DM has no sense of humor, or some combination )
	11:21pm pacific standard simon: You gotta LOL it like you talk it, lest you lose that beat.
	11:22pm Dave Mandl: I have no sense of humor. Also, I could only see the first couple of words of your comment when I was on mic, including the crucial bit about the disco jams. Oh well.
	11:23pm Dave Mandl: There are a few Cerrones, though the disco Cerrone was the king.
	11:23pm Droll: Recently Kenzo said he couldn't figure out if I was making a joke or "standing on [my] head". 30-40 seconds of delay also throws off timing.
	11:24pm 12539: I'll never trust anything out of Mandl's mouth ever again.
	11:24pm Dave Mandl: @pss: Seriously, listen to when Casady comes in at the beginning of "Blues from an Airplane." Four little notes, but you can tell it's a master at work.
	11:25pm Dave Mandl: Casady's playing on "After Bathing at Baxter's" generally is the best.
	11:27pm Droll: All talk and no special, that's what they say...
	11:29pm pacific standard simon: I will, I will. I'm also quite fond of that first Hot Tuna record. Also nuts about Spencer Dryden's drum intro to "She Has Funny Cars".
	11:31pm pacific standard simon: Drummers are iconic, bassists are ironic.
	11:31pm ttrish: ..Drums. Yes. So many frequencies in the spectrum. So few that are syncopated.
	11:32pm pacific standard simon: Although The Airplane may reverse that pattern.
	11:33pm Droll: Okay -- Let's say we compromise with a rhythm section show: Burford-Wetton, Ward-Butler, Rogers-Edwards, etc.
	11:34pm pacific standard simon: McCartney-Starr
	11:35pm pacific standard simon: Haden-Higgins
	11:35pm Droll: Thopmson-Edwards, I meant. pss, I think you mean McCartney-McCartney.
	11:35pm pacific standard simon: I think not.
	11:38pm pacific standard simon: All-cello show would be pushing it.
	11:41pm pacific standard simon: Is the drummer a part of the quartet?
	11:43pm Dave Mandl: The Balanescus? No, isn't.
	11:43pm JakeGould: This is nice. Thanks, Dave.
	11:45pm pacific standard simon: That's what I was wondering. Sometimes I have trouble waiting for the back-announce.
	11:52pm Dave Mandl: That should have been "No, he isn't" (part of the quartet).
	11:52pm Dave Mandl: Jake: Yeah, I agree.
	11:54pm pacific standard simon: If I wanted to follow anyone on Twitter, which I would right before I slashed my wrists, I would follow you. Plus, I already follow you on Tumbler.
	11:54pm 12539: Funny "coincidence" about those pieces with "II/2" in the name. Now I can set my decoder ring for next week's show.
	11:56pm Dave Mandl: @pss: Don't do it. (I mean slash your wrists! You definitely should follow me.)
	11:57pm pacific standard simon: Don't worry, ain't gonna (slash, twitter, facebook).
	11:58pm Ike: Hearing Biosphere is always good. I believe Biosphere features someone who used to be in Bel Canto, a favorite from the 90s.
	11:58pm JakeGould: You follow him on the Tumbler? What about Tumblr. I think now that Yahoo! took over the spambot filters on Tumblr are busted.
	11:59pm Droll: 12539, Don't forget "Double Fun" and "Eight Electronic Pieces" or you'll never find the right Numbers Station. DM, Sorry your Mellotron is broken and you had you use so many real strings this week. Until the next Final Stretch... Pot your bed down!
	11:59pm 12539: Thanks, Dave.
	12:00am pacific standard simon: I know, Jake. It's a legacy social media thing for me. I have some history with it.
	12:00am Dave Mandl: Night, everyone. Have a great week.
	12:01am ttrish: Enjoyed listening, Dave. To-do's got done. Thanks.
	4:46am Chris from Stroud, England: Hey, great start to the show with Sandy. Held up all the way through dude. Fair play to you!
