	♥ 4:04pm Gary: The Obscurometer: obscurometer.com...
	6:56pm ndbob: Hey there Gary and everyone!
	♥ 6:56pm Gary: Heya, Bob!
	6:59pm Jill B.: Hi Gary and NDBob! Gary, received the postcard about the WFMU music fair. Is that your art work????
	♥ 7:00pm Gary: Hi Mom! No, I'm not sure who did that -- will have to find it and see
	7:00pm ndbob: Heya Jill!
	♥ 7:00pm davex: Hi Gary, ndbob, Jill - looking forward to some more obscurity!
	♥ 7:01pm Gary: Howdy, Dave!
	7:02pm ndbob: Heya Dave!
	7:04pm northguineahills: Most of the obscurameter stuff I looked up I got an obscure rating of 0%, but it should have been null set, as they had no record of any of the artists I looked up (I did that on purpose).
	7:04pm hyde: why is a raven like a writing desk?
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: NGH + Hyde! Welcome!
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: I was surprised by the things I assumed would be 90% or greater, but weren't.
	7:07pm northguineahills: ...and I also second Gary's belief it's queries LastFM's database.
	♥ 7:07pm davex: Great track to start, actually. Quite an interesting sound.
	7:07pm Jill B.: Okay, Hyde, what is he answer, as I have no clue.
	♥ 7:09pm davex: Yes, it definitely goes through Last.fm. But it still gives a general sense of what people listen to (and a lot of people "scrobble" their own music through the site). Of course it's all just for fun.
	7:11pm hyde: @Jill B I don't know! the Mad Hatter asks this riddle during the tea party in Alice in Wonderland, but he never gives the darn answer...
	♥ 7:12pm Gary: @Hyde: How about: Poe wrote on both
	♥ 7:13pm Gary: I almost used Alice in Wonderland imagery for this show, actually, Hyde (think: rabbit hole)
	7:14pm Jill B.: Hyde.....Well, let's just make up an answer then!
	7:14pm hyde: @Gary yes. I also think Lewis Carroll finally came up with some slightly lame answer because people bugged him about it for so long....
	7:17pm hyde: only one of the 7 bands I was in even comes up in the obscurometer, and i think that's because they've kept going for like 15 years after i stopped playing with them
	♥ 7:18pm davex: 100%: Jackpot!
	♥ 7:20pm Gary: What were the bands, Hyde?
	♥ 7:21pm pacific standard simon: What's shakin', baby?
	♥ 7:23pm davex: Hey Simon!
	♥ 7:25pm pacific standard simon: Yo davex! Doubling down on the drummer stream today.
	♥ 7:26pm davex: Can't go wrong...
	♥ 7:26pm Gary: Simon! Booty's shakin
	♥ 7:27pm pacific standard simon: And my head is achin'.
	7:29pm hyde: @Gary I think I miscounted--there was 8. they were: The Household Appliances, The Insane Assholes, Chore Wheel, The Half Worcesters, The Corn Lords, Triple Thick, Rodentt and Jumbo. There's really only tapes of everything except Rodentt, the bad lounge band I was in, we had a 45. (except Triple Thick, who still play). Jumbo was my 40+ piece circus music project. I have .wav files of our tapes somewhere that I guess someday I should convert to .mp3...
	♥ 7:31pm Gary: You should definitely convert them. I'd love to hear some of this
	♥ 7:31pm pacific standard simon: If the writing desk is the old roll-top type, I suppose the similarity could be that they're both corvid.
	7:35pm ndbob: this is great Gary - the Mimi Sisters
	♥ 7:35pm pacific standard simon: Sorry.
	♥ 7:36pm davex: That was one warped answer, Simon. (But ingeniously warped.)
	7:37pm hyde: @Gary careful what you wish for! there was actually a Jumbo 45 too, and it looks like one of the many, many members of the band uploaded it to.....myspace? myspace.com...
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: I should also say that a certain amount of today's stuff came to me via Carol -- she sent me a few discs a few weeks back ... in fact, this song and the song before it I think were among the treasures she sent along
	♥ 7:39pm pacific standard simon: Making vile puns is not helping this headache.
	♥ 7:43pm pacific standard simon: I've never heard (or heard of) any of this stuff, Gary. That's not a problem in my world.
	7:50pm hyde: i loved that Aris San awhile back. reading about him, his life sounds kind of crazy! now I want to see that movie about him.
	♥ 7:51pm Gary: Yes! We definitely all gotta track down that movie, it sounds awesome
	♥ 7:52pm Gary: I"ve played Josie Ho before. I'm shocked at her obscurity level. She's a very popular movie star / producer / singer in Hong Kong. I even typed in her name in Chinese and still got an above 90% obscurity rating for her.
	7:53pm juan-gotama: LOL, this is Josie Ho 何超儀, daughter of Stanley Ho Hung Sun, "The King of Gambling" of Macau.
	♥ 7:54pm Gary: You are correct, Juan-Gotama! I super-heart this woman -- I have three or four of her albums.
	♥ 7:54pm Gary: Pappy's the richest man in Macau, if I'm not mistaken
	7:55pm juan-gotama: This is not obscure at all for any cantonese speaker growing up in the '90s. The obscurity level is due to the fact that Chinese music listeners use last.fm less frequently I think.
	7:55pm hyde: looks like someone uploaded that Aris San flick to youtube, but there's no english subs. from the way it opens it sure looks like it's probably worth watching even if it's greek to me: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 7:55pm pacific standard simon: Behind her back, her friends call her a ho.
	♥ 7:56pm Gary: Ho, ho, ho
	7:57pm juan-gotama: Yeah although slightly less powerful as he used to be, pappy still a tycoon in Macau no doubt!
	7:57pm ndbob: excellent first hour Gary! Catch the rest on the archive
	♥ 7:58pm Gary: True, Juan -- for instance, I was thinking of playing Naseebo Lal, the single most popular singer in Pakistan right now -- she had an obscurity rating of 93.8%
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Have a great night, Bob!
	♥ 7:59pm davex: Obscurity is all a matter of perspective in the end.
	♥ 8:00pm Gary: @Dave ... precisely
	8:00pm Gildo-X: top o the eve all
	♥ 8:01pm pacific standard simon: In other words, how many of these bands have heard of YOU?
	8:03pm hyde: hey, i need like 5 minutes of silence in between songs so i can do research before i hear something else i need to research. also, that d mingus was really bizarre. (in a good way)
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: Hyde, I think you can get the album the D Mingus is from free on Bandcamp ...
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: Oh, and Howdy, Gildo-X!
	8:10pm Gildo-X: I've finally actually read your email in time to listen...
	8:10pm Holly in NC: Hello Gary & everyone! xo Sadly I'm not really here, will have to catch up later. Gary, I hope you've had a good week.
	8:12pm Jill B.: Holly! Maybe next week?
	♥ 8:12pm davex: Case in point: Oum Kalthoum is at 82.3%. Of course the alternative spellings play a role as well.
	8:12pm hyde: @Gary yep, it looks like you can Link for reference's sake: is.gd...) (hi Holly...)
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: Holly! Don't make us cry! ... my week was okay, mostly going to various healthcare professionals to do checkups before my insurance runs out at the end of the month
	♥ 8:13pm pacific standard simon: Well shootabasket, Holly!
	♥ 8:14pm Gary: @Dave, yes -- also, Jintara, who I just played a bit ago, is like the most popular morlam singer in Thailand right now.
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: This comes from a comp that Mr Fab put together for his Music for Maniacs blog: musicformaniacs.blogspot.com...
	♥ 8:19pm davex: Köstlich!
	8:19pm hyde: there are a lot of Jintara Poonlap videos on youtube
	♥ 8:25pm Doug Schulkind: Just got home. What'd I miss?!?!
	♥ 8:26pm pacific standard simon: @Gary - I'm downloading some fado music from Portugal -- if I find something awesome, I'll share it with you.
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Doug! You missed me trying to find African songs you hadn't already played and mostly failing miserably
	8:27pm hyde: @Doug ah, you know. brazilian folk/new wave, german go go, israeli greek surf music. that sort of thing.
	♥ 8:28pm davex: Doug, no idea, it was all so obscure...
	♥ 8:29pm Doug Schulkind: I've heard of camera obscura, but radio obscuro is better!
	♥ 8:30pm Gary: WFMU: The Camera Obscura of Radio
	♥ 8:31pm pacific standard simon: So obscure that all you can see are the outlines of its edges.
	8:32pm doca: Hi Gary! I was obscuro and incognito here before
	♥ 8:33pm Gary: DOCA!
	♥ 8:36pm Gary: Where's Child Protection Services when you need them?
	♥ 8:37pm Doug Schulkind: Oy indeed! i1.sndcdn.com...
	♥ 8:37pm davex: Hey, kids complain sometimes.
	8:37pm doca: Who needs Child Protection Services? I thought WFMU was family-friendly
	♥ 8:38pm Gary: @Doca, well someone has to save us from that kid
	8:40pm doca: Hahaha kids are a major nuisance sometimes. Vinícius de Moraes has a song in which he says that then the schools are out he even thinks "Herodes was a nice guy"
	♥ 8:41pm pacific standard simon: Damn, the umbrellas are starting to open at Coors Field...
	♥ 8:43pm davex: Yugoslavia is historically correct.
	8:51pm hyde: i'm still stuck on Arda Kardes. who is this kid?
	♥ 8:53pm Gary: I'm too scared to look around on the internet right now Hyde, for fear I'll step onto a page that has an automatic video or sound file, or I'd help with the research
	8:58pm hyde: I've found some hypothesizing that he was the kid of some Turkish psych guy or something, but I don't know if that's at all accurate. i also found him doing a cover of the Doors' "Mosquito", which is cuh-razy. it seems to be early seventies stuff, near as I can tell.
	♥ 8:58pm Gary: I believe these women are singing in Maori, but if anyone can find info to the contrary, please lemme konw!
	9:00pm Gildo-x: Sounds Like Montanan to me
	♥ 9:01pm Gary: You almost had me Googlin' "Montanan" there for a sec :)
	9:02pm Gildo-x: I'm so proud... LOL
	9:03pm hyde: this site says the Piiraa 'E record is from French Polynesia: nathannothinsez.blogspot.com...
	9:04pm hyde: actually, you can grab that record there. so maybe that's where you got it. at least, that's where i'm gettin' it.
	9:06pm d.francis: Good evening Mr. Funk. love the old Ultravox! daniel
	♥ 9:07pm pacific standard simon: hee hee hee
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: Thank you for that link, Hyde!
	9:08pm d.francis: sorry Gary. diggin' it.
	♥ 9:09pm Gary: No worries, Daniel!
	♥ 9:09pm pacific standard simon: Ultravox is an anagram for o xtra luv.
	♥ 9:10pm Gary: I'm givin all my xtra luv to Ms. Hennaway :)
	9:14pm Gildo-x: OK I'm in too many spaces at once... where/who/when is this from?
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: This is Mayada el Hennaway from Syria. Not sure what year it was recorded
	9:17pm Gildo-x: Merci
	♥ 9:17pm Gary: Mais oui!
	9:18pm Gildo-x: May God (however you conceive of her) bless the people of Syria.
	♥ 9:18pm pacific standard simon: Dinner cookin' is underway! Grilled lamb steaks, roast baby potatoes with mint, and peas in anchovy butter.
	9:19pm Gildo-x: OMG you're killin' me PSS... I had chips and a Gin-n-Tonic
	♥ 9:20pm pacific standard simon: ...that gin and tonic would hit the spot right now, but I might ruin supper.
	9:23pm juan-gotama: Did you get this Mayada el Hennaway music in CD, or mp3? I must acquire this...
	♥ 9:26pm Gary: Juan, this is an MP3 -- If you email me (click on my name and I think that takes you to my profile page, which has a way to email me) I'll send you a link to download. I'll post it up after the show tonight or tomorrow morning
	9:27pm hyde: @juan looks like he got it here, the link is live: tapesss.blogspot.com...
	♥ 9:27pm Gary: YES! Thank you, Hyde!
	9:28pm hyde: it's what i do.
	9:30pm juan-gotama: @hyde @Gary Thank you very much!!
	9:32pm Gildo-x: I gotta hit the rack... Great show Gary... "I'll be back".
	9:32pm northguineahills: earch.culturalequity.org is making all of the Lomax tapes available via the Library of Congress. Check it out. They're still digitizing music for free online consumption.
	9:33pm northguineahills: that should read, research.culturalequity.org
	♥ 9:34pm Gary: Have a great night, G-X!
	♥ 9:34pm pacific standard simon: Hunter Pence hits a home run! The camera goes to the dugout, following Pence and his teammates hi-5in'. Catcher Hector Sanchez is waddling through the dugout with his pants down to the middle of his thighs, his jersey barely covering his business. Whuuuut?!
	9:35pm hyde: @ngh yeah, that's good stuff. someone (reneshoua, mebbe) recently put up all the Deep River of Song records, which are amazing
	♥ 9:36pm Gary: Who, thanks, NGH! And, Hyde, I think you're right -- Doug hipped me to Reneshoua a few weeks ago and I DLed like 100 albums ...
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: That shouldda been "whoa, thanks"
	9:41pm hyde: reneshoua tends to get nuked after awhile (i think this is the 3rd incarnation), so it's good to get it while you can
	9:42pm doca: This is so obscure that I thought it was from Mali but actually it is from Guinea!
	♥ 9:43pm Gary: @Hyde, yeah, I realize I probably have to go back there soon, since whoever's managing it seems to post many, many albums a week
	9:44pm hyde: i think you mean many, many a day
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Yes, right, a day (!)
	9:45pm mike east: Yeah doca I hear a Mali vibe in there. Hey Gary, hey all!
	♥ 9:46pm pacific standard simon: BTW, Gary, you need to fix the link to your blog on your profile page. It should be bodegapop.blogspot.com
	♥ 9:46pm Gary: Howdy, Mike E!
	♥ 9:46pm davex: Looks like probably 1997 on Mayada; www.balaha-records.com...
	♥ 9:47pm Gary: Wait, I have that CD ... are you telling me that song was there on my shelf all along?!?
	♥ 9:48pm davex: Or this: www.balaha-records.com...
	9:48pm Doug Schulkind: Jillem, the feller behind Reneshoua (née African Gospel Church), is a big WFMU fan!
	♥ 9:48pm davex: I think that's the song. It wasn't easy.
	♥ 9:50pm Gary: I'll have to put it into my computer after the show and see!
	9:50pm d.francis: A friend just picked up a copy of What You Want Is In The Limo. I'm psyched to read it. Does the title refer to the Bowie song Fame? (is that a stupid question?)
	9:51pm hyde: @Doug heh, that's no shock!
	♥ 9:52pm pacific standard simon: Anyway, Gary, thank you for coloring the mix of my afternoon/evening. Always a wild, wild show.
	♥ 9:53pm pacific standard simon: And how does d.francis keep doing that?
	♥ 9:54pm davex: How can that have been three hours?
	♥ 9:55pm Gary: Wasn't planning to play this The News song, but I see I undershot the timing tonight ... alas, their obscurity rating isn't available via obscurometer ... THAT'S JUST HOW OBSCURE THEY ARE.
	♥ 9:56pm davex: This is the absolute best!
	9:57pm Doug Schulkind: If I was going to name a record label after this radio show, I'd call it Sublime Constantly.
	9:57pm mike east: Great end of the show. Sorry I couldn't get here earlier
	9:58pm northguineahills: Super drunken chest-bump thanks, Gary!
	9:58pm hyde: amazing show tonight. totally appreciate it.
	9:58pm juan-gotama: great show!
	♥ 9:59pm davex: Quite a few revelations from the depths of obscurity, Gary.
	10:00pm doca: Thanks, Gary!
	10:00pm mike east: Sorry, Doug playing something doesn't mean it's not obscure :)
	♥ 10:01pm Gary: Thank you all so much for hanging out! See you soon ...
	♥ 10:03pm Gary: And, Mike E, you're right, natch!

	7:17pm hyde: only one of the 7 bands I was in even comes up in the obscurometer, and i think that's because they've kept going for like 15 years after i stopped playing with them
	♥ 7:18pm davex: 100%: Jackpot!
	♥ 7:20pm Gary: What were the bands, Hyde?
	♥ 7:21pm pacific standard simon: What's shakin', baby?
	♥ 7:23pm davex: Hey Simon!
	♥ 7:25pm pacific standard simon: Yo davex! Doubling down on the drummer stream today.
	♥ 7:26pm davex: Can't go wrong...
	♥ 7:26pm Gary: Simon! Booty's shakin
	♥ 7:27pm pacific standard simon: And my head is achin'.
	7:29pm hyde: @Gary I think I miscounted--there was 8. they were: The Household Appliances, The Insane Assholes, Chore Wheel, The Half Worcesters, The Corn Lords, Triple Thick, Rodentt and Jumbo. There's really only tapes of everything except Rodentt, the bad lounge band I was in, we had a 45. (except Triple Thick, who still play). Jumbo was my 40+ piece circus music project. I have .wav files of our tapes somewhere that I guess someday I should convert to .mp3...
	♥ 7:31pm Gary: You should definitely convert them. I'd love to hear some of this
	♥ 7:31pm pacific standard simon: If the writing desk is the old roll-top type, I suppose the similarity could be that they're both corvid.
	7:35pm ndbob: this is great Gary - the Mimi Sisters
	♥ 7:35pm pacific standard simon: Sorry.
	♥ 7:36pm davex: That was one warped answer, Simon. (But ingeniously warped.)
	7:37pm hyde: @Gary careful what you wish for! there was actually a Jumbo 45 too, and it looks like one of the many, many members of the band uploaded it to.....myspace? myspace.com...
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: I should also say that a certain amount of today's stuff came to me via Carol -- she sent me a few discs a few weeks back ... in fact, this song and the song before it I think were among the treasures she sent along
	♥ 7:39pm pacific standard simon: Making vile puns is not helping this headache.
	♥ 7:43pm pacific standard simon: I've never heard (or heard of) any of this stuff, Gary. That's not a problem in my world.
	7:50pm hyde: i loved that Aris San awhile back. reading about him, his life sounds kind of crazy! now I want to see that movie about him.
	♥ 7:51pm Gary: Yes! We definitely all gotta track down that movie, it sounds awesome
	♥ 7:52pm Gary: I"ve played Josie Ho before. I'm shocked at her obscurity level. She's a very popular movie star / producer / singer in Hong Kong. I even typed in her name in Chinese and still got an above 90% obscurity rating for her.
	7:53pm juan-gotama: LOL, this is Josie Ho 何超儀, daughter of Stanley Ho Hung Sun, "The King of Gambling" of Macau.
	♥ 7:54pm Gary: You are correct, Juan-Gotama! I super-heart this woman -- I have three or four of her albums.
	♥ 7:54pm Gary: Pappy's the richest man in Macau, if I'm not mistaken
	7:55pm juan-gotama: This is not obscure at all for any cantonese speaker growing up in the '90s. The obscurity level is due to the fact that Chinese music listeners use last.fm less frequently I think.
	7:55pm hyde: looks like someone uploaded that Aris San flick to youtube, but there's no english subs. from the way it opens it sure looks like it's probably worth watching even if it's greek to me: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 7:55pm pacific standard simon: Behind her back, her friends call her a ho.
	♥ 7:56pm Gary: Ho, ho, ho
	7:57pm juan-gotama: Yeah although slightly less powerful as he used to be, pappy still a tycoon in Macau no doubt!
	7:57pm ndbob: excellent first hour Gary! Catch the rest on the archive
	♥ 7:58pm Gary: True, Juan -- for instance, I was thinking of playing Naseebo Lal, the single most popular singer in Pakistan right now -- she had an obscurity rating of 93.8%
	♥ 7:59pm Gary: Have a great night, Bob!
	♥ 7:59pm davex: Obscurity is all a matter of perspective in the end.
	♥ 8:00pm Gary: @Dave ... precisely
	8:00pm Gildo-X: top o the eve all
	♥ 8:01pm pacific standard simon: In other words, how many of these bands have heard of YOU?
	8:03pm hyde: hey, i need like 5 minutes of silence in between songs so i can do research before i hear something else i need to research. also, that d mingus was really bizarre. (in a good way)
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: Hyde, I think you can get the album the D Mingus is from free on Bandcamp ...
	♥ 8:06pm Gary: Oh, and Howdy, Gildo-X!
	8:10pm Gildo-X: I've finally actually read your email in time to listen...
	8:10pm Holly in NC: Hello Gary & everyone! xo Sadly I'm not really here, will have to catch up later. Gary, I hope you've had a good week.
	8:12pm Jill B.: Holly! Maybe next week?
	♥ 8:12pm davex: Case in point: Oum Kalthoum is at 82.3%. Of course the alternative spellings play a role as well.
	8:12pm hyde: @Gary yep, it looks like you can Link for reference's sake: is.gd...) (hi Holly...)
	♥ 8:13pm Gary: Holly! Don't make us cry! ... my week was okay, mostly going to various healthcare professionals to do checkups before my insurance runs out at the end of the month
	♥ 8:13pm pacific standard simon: Well shootabasket, Holly!
	♥ 8:14pm Gary: @Dave, yes -- also, Jintara, who I just played a bit ago, is like the most popular morlam singer in Thailand right now.
	♥ 8:18pm Gary: This comes from a comp that Mr Fab put together for his Music for Maniacs blog: musicformaniacs.blogspot.com...
	♥ 8:19pm davex: Köstlich!
	8:19pm hyde: there are a lot of Jintara Poonlap videos on youtube
	♥ 8:25pm Doug Schulkind: Just got home. What'd I miss?!?!
	♥ 8:26pm pacific standard simon: @Gary - I'm downloading some fado music from Portugal -- if I find something awesome, I'll share it with you.
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Doug! You missed me trying to find African songs you hadn't already played and mostly failing miserably
	8:27pm hyde: @Doug ah, you know. brazilian folk/new wave, german go go, israeli greek surf music. that sort of thing.
	♥ 8:28pm davex: Doug, no idea, it was all so obscure...
	♥ 8:29pm Doug Schulkind: I've heard of camera obscura, but radio obscuro is better!
	♥ 8:30pm Gary: WFMU: The Camera Obscura of Radio
	♥ 8:31pm pacific standard simon: So obscure that all you can see are the outlines of its edges.
	8:32pm doca: Hi Gary! I was obscuro and incognito here before
	♥ 8:33pm Gary: DOCA!
	♥ 8:36pm Gary: Where's Child Protection Services when you need them?
	♥ 8:37pm Doug Schulkind: Oy indeed! i1.sndcdn.com...
	♥ 8:37pm davex: Hey, kids complain sometimes.
	8:37pm doca: Who needs Child Protection Services? I thought WFMU was family-friendly
	♥ 8:38pm Gary: @Doca, well someone has to save us from that kid
	8:40pm doca: Hahaha kids are a major nuisance sometimes. Vinícius de Moraes has a song in which he says that then the schools are out he even thinks "Herodes was a nice guy"
	♥ 8:41pm pacific standard simon: Damn, the umbrellas are starting to open at Coors Field...
	♥ 8:43pm davex: Yugoslavia is historically correct.
	8:51pm hyde: i'm still stuck on Arda Kardes. who is this kid?
	♥ 8:53pm Gary: I'm too scared to look around on the internet right now Hyde, for fear I'll step onto a page that has an automatic video or sound file, or I'd help with the research
	8:58pm hyde: I've found some hypothesizing that he was the kid of some Turkish psych guy or something, but I don't know if that's at all accurate. i also found him doing a cover of the Doors' "Mosquito", which is cuh-razy. it seems to be early seventies stuff, near as I can tell.
	♥ 8:58pm Gary: I believe these women are singing in Maori, but if anyone can find info to the contrary, please lemme konw!
	9:00pm Gildo-x: Sounds Like Montanan to me
	♥ 9:01pm Gary: You almost had me Googlin' "Montanan" there for a sec :)
	9:02pm Gildo-x: I'm so proud... LOL
	9:03pm hyde: this site says the Piiraa 'E record is from French Polynesia: nathannothinsez.blogspot.com...
	9:04pm hyde: actually, you can grab that record there. so maybe that's where you got it. at least, that's where i'm gettin' it.
	9:06pm d.francis: Good evening Mr. Funk. love the old Ultravox! daniel
	♥ 9:07pm pacific standard simon: hee hee hee
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: Thank you for that link, Hyde!
	9:08pm d.francis: sorry Gary. diggin' it.
	♥ 9:09pm Gary: No worries, Daniel!
	♥ 9:09pm pacific standard simon: Ultravox is an anagram for o xtra luv.
	♥ 9:10pm Gary: I'm givin all my xtra luv to Ms. Hennaway :)
	9:14pm Gildo-x: OK I'm in too many spaces at once... where/who/when is this from?
	♥ 9:15pm Gary: This is Mayada el Hennaway from Syria. Not sure what year it was recorded
	9:17pm Gildo-x: Merci
	♥ 9:17pm Gary: Mais oui!
	9:18pm Gildo-x: May God (however you conceive of her) bless the people of Syria.
	♥ 9:18pm pacific standard simon: Dinner cookin' is underway! Grilled lamb steaks, roast baby potatoes with mint, and peas in anchovy butter.
	9:19pm Gildo-x: OMG you're killin' me PSS... I had chips and a Gin-n-Tonic
	♥ 9:20pm pacific standard simon: ...that gin and tonic would hit the spot right now, but I might ruin supper.
	9:23pm juan-gotama: Did you get this Mayada el Hennaway music in CD, or mp3? I must acquire this...
	♥ 9:26pm Gary: Juan, this is an MP3 -- If you email me (click on my name and I think that takes you to my profile page, which has a way to email me) I'll send you a link to download. I'll post it up after the show tonight or tomorrow morning
	9:27pm hyde: @juan looks like he got it here, the link is live: tapesss.blogspot.com...
	♥ 9:27pm Gary: YES! Thank you, Hyde!
	9:28pm hyde: it's what i do.
	9:30pm juan-gotama: @hyde @Gary Thank you very much!!
	9:32pm Gildo-x: I gotta hit the rack... Great show Gary... "I'll be back".
	9:32pm northguineahills: earch.culturalequity.org is making all of the Lomax tapes available via the Library of Congress. Check it out. They're still digitizing music for free online consumption.
	9:33pm northguineahills: that should read, research.culturalequity.org
	♥ 9:34pm Gary: Have a great night, G-X!
	♥ 9:34pm pacific standard simon: Hunter Pence hits a home run! The camera goes to the dugout, following Pence and his teammates hi-5in'. Catcher Hector Sanchez is waddling through the dugout with his pants down to the middle of his thighs, his jersey barely covering his business. Whuuuut?!
	9:35pm hyde: @ngh yeah, that's good stuff. someone (reneshoua, mebbe) recently put up all the Deep River of Song records, which are amazing
	♥ 9:36pm Gary: Who, thanks, NGH! And, Hyde, I think you're right -- Doug hipped me to Reneshoua a few weeks ago and I DLed like 100 albums ...
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: That shouldda been "whoa, thanks"
	9:41pm hyde: reneshoua tends to get nuked after awhile (i think this is the 3rd incarnation), so it's good to get it while you can
	9:42pm doca: This is so obscure that I thought it was from Mali but actually it is from Guinea!
	♥ 9:43pm Gary: @Hyde, yeah, I realize I probably have to go back there soon, since whoever's managing it seems to post many, many albums a week
	9:44pm hyde: i think you mean many, many a day
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: Yes, right, a day (!)
	9:45pm mike east: Yeah doca I hear a Mali vibe in there. Hey Gary, hey all!
	♥ 9:46pm pacific standard simon: BTW, Gary, you need to fix the link to your blog on your profile page. It should be bodegapop.blogspot.com
	♥ 9:46pm Gary: Howdy, Mike E!
	♥ 9:46pm davex: Looks like probably 1997 on Mayada; www.balaha-records.com...
	♥ 9:47pm Gary: Wait, I have that CD ... are you telling me that song was there on my shelf all along?!?
	♥ 9:48pm davex: Or this: www.balaha-records.com...
	9:48pm Doug Schulkind: Jillem, the feller behind Reneshoua (née African Gospel Church), is a big WFMU fan!
	♥ 9:48pm davex: I think that's the song. It wasn't easy.
	♥ 9:50pm Gary: I'll have to put it into my computer after the show and see!
	9:50pm d.francis: A friend just picked up a copy of What You Want Is In The Limo. I'm psyched to read it. Does the title refer to the Bowie song Fame? (is that a stupid question?)
	9:51pm hyde: @Doug heh, that's no shock!
	♥ 9:52pm pacific standard simon: Anyway, Gary, thank you for coloring the mix of my afternoon/evening. Always a wild, wild show.
	♥ 9:53pm pacific standard simon: And how does d.francis keep doing that?
	♥ 9:54pm davex: How can that have been three hours?
	♥ 9:55pm Gary: Wasn't planning to play this The News song, but I see I undershot the timing tonight ... alas, their obscurity rating isn't available via obscurometer ... THAT'S JUST HOW OBSCURE THEY ARE.
	♥ 9:56pm davex: This is the absolute best!
	9:57pm Doug Schulkind: If I was going to name a record label after this radio show, I'd call it Sublime Constantly.
	9:57pm mike east: Great end of the show. Sorry I couldn't get here earlier
	9:58pm northguineahills: Super drunken chest-bump thanks, Gary!
	9:58pm hyde: amazing show tonight. totally appreciate it.
	9:58pm juan-gotama: great show!
	♥ 9:59pm davex: Quite a few revelations from the depths of obscurity, Gary.
	10:00pm doca: Thanks, Gary!
	10:00pm mike east: Sorry, Doug playing something doesn't mean it's not obscure :)
	♥ 10:01pm Gary: Thank you all so much for hanging out! See you soon ...
	♥ 10:03pm Gary: And, Mike E, you're right, natch!
