Listener comments!
	3:01pm DCE: NICE!
	3:01pm common: yes, minnesota jeff...yes!
	3:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: NASCAR = Checkered Flag Today's Show = Czechered Flag Do I have that right?
	3:05pm northguineahills: This isn't one of Bailey's Company events, is it?
	3:07pm steve: im excited for them beatles covers
	3:10pm still b/p: The Silence of the Lads.
	3:11pm Kurt Gottschalk: b/p, ha! hello everyone! we'll get to the czech beatles in a bit, i promise.
	3:15pm emmagineering: oh hai djkg
	3:15pm Kurt Gottschalk: emmmmmmmmmmma!
	3:16pm Mark Helsten: The Chechen Beatles are very strange.
	3:17pm Mark Helsten: Someone should fire them.
	3:17pm Kurt Gottschalk: emmagineering is responsible for my avatar and the minotaurs running on the turntable on my playlist page and a couple of my premium cd covers. and loads of other beautiful work. say hi to her, everyone!
	3:17pm Mark Helsten: Yeah. I really dig her work! Hi Emma!
	3:18pm Kurt Gottschalk: i'm afraid i have no chechen beatles, mark, only czech.
	3:20pm Mark Helsten: Spell check did that for me and I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen.
	3:20pm Kurt Gottschalk: i do have some bulgarian beatles as well, tho.
	3:20pm Kurt Gottschalk: spell czech
	3:21pm fred: The minotaurs on the turntable is a really great image. Where can I see more of Emma's work?
	3:21pm Mark Helsten: Yes. It is a pun buried within a pun buried within a pun!
	3:22pm Mark Helsten: I regress...
	3:23pm emmagineering: fred: vectornectar.com lol thanks!
	3:24pm fred: @Mark Helsten: more bad math jokes: mathwithbaddrawings.com...
	3:28pm fred: @emmagineering: Thanks for the link. You made that Chadbourne cover? Wow
	3:29pm emmagineering: yupp :) thanks! hi mark helsten!
	3:33pm kat330: It may be a mute point, but today's image puts me in mind of "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. BTW, GOOD one, still b/p! Hello, Kurt and gatherees! Everyone's in the mute for a great Labor Day weekend I hope.
	3:36pm Mark Helsten: I posted the cover of that (I have no mouth) to a thread in a Facebook group only minutes ago. Mr. G played dumb...
	3:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: it is no play, i is the dum.
	3:41pm kat330: @Mark: I believe I made this same pun in a different context -- if memory serves, it was re: an image Caryn had -- but your avatar is utterly fedorable!
	3:42pm fred: @kat330: nice reference there! My mood is different, it's back to work for me on Monday. Which means deleting stale emails. 30% should be people looking for phone chargers (Apple dominates my workplace), 25% about elevators being out of order, 20% about "real estate" (meaning looking for roommates or sub-renters), 15% obsolete commit messages, 9% bromide from HR, and 1% stuff I should read but will most likely delete along with the rest
	3:43pm Kurt Gottschalk: some nice imagery: hifructose.com...
	3:46pm kat330: @fred: Ellison and Theodore Sturgeon helped me through my childhood. @Kurt: Nice images indeed. Like the bunny with the bun in the oven.
	3:51pm fred: I always found it interesting that May 1st is Labor day in other countries in a large part because of an event that took place in the US, while the US hold it in September. The history is fascinating to me.
	3:53pm kat330: It would seem much of US holiday setting is based on what's best for consumerism.
	3:55pm DCE: that's completely true, kat
	3:58pm fred: In that particular case, it's also a celebration of hypocrisy: other countries made it a holiday in honor of workers crushed in the US, while crushing their own. I'm not shocked the Cleveland administration preferred another date
	3:58pm TDK60: It's purposeful historical amnesia, Labor Day.
	4:03pm Guido from Cologne: Ach Du Lieber Gott!
	4:03pm fred: Just to be clear, then I stop: almost nobody in France knows about Haymarket, even in the anarcho-syndicalist fringe (yes, they still exist)
	4:08pm kat330: @fred: Are you a Belgian in Paris, or am I way off the mark? What do you think of the work of French photographer JR if you know of him at all?
	4:11pm TDK60: Now that organ has something, at end of 'Michelle'.
	4:11pm fleep: Skipping here, there and everywhere.
	4:12pm fred: @kat330: I don't think I know JR. I'm not sure because I do know photographers, but I never ask anyone's name. I'm a French guy, I was born in Paris but never could afford to live there
	4:14pm fred: @kat330: do you have a link for some of his work? Though if he's well-known, I probably don't know him
	4:14pm kat330: He remains anonymous with the conscience of a humanitarian, like his favela project in Rio and this in a Pakistan field: www.cnn.com...
	4:16pm kat330: And this: solpurpose.com...
	4:18pm Dean: Coincidentally, this is just up on Yahoo: http://www.last.fm/music/The+Beatles/_/Penny+Lane
	4:18pm kat330: But the best about the man himself: thecolbertreport.cc.com...
	4:19pm kat330: This Bootles is certainly a very faithful rendition.
	4:20pm common: indeed, kat330. pretty impressive.
	4:21pm steve: this is awesome
	4:21pm Dean: Mrs. Miller, "Hard Day's Night," wicked.
	4:22pm kat330: @common: Yes, if that is one's goal. I purposely try for a different spin on my covers.
	4:24pm kat330: this Blues Five being a case in point. ;)
	4:24pm common: @kat330: me too. i still gotta listen to your tunes. i suck.
	4:27pm kat330: @common: No argument from me on that! <g> Seriously, though, some will not be downloadable after October 5th because SC puts a 100 DL cap on tracks within free accounts, which I'm reverting back to at that time.
	4:27pm paula pc: i have a headache, i turned this show, and this just made it worse
	4:27pm paula pc: the tapping is not saving it
	4:28pm paula pc: or the polite? applause
	4:28pm kat330: @paula: Does it sound like someone's tap dancing inside your skull?
	4:29pm paula pc: but I realize, there is a theme to serve here. @kat330 -- yes
	4:30pm Kurt Gottschalk: here to serve!
	4:30pm kat330: I've always loved the counterpoint of the horns in the chorus of this.
	4:31pm paula pc: but that horn counterpoint during the chorus of this is TERRIFIC, and I'm not sure it's in the original
	4:31pm steve: these are so great
	4:31pm kat330: Acccchhhh! JINX, Paula!
	4:32pm paula pc: @kat330 -- so that's in the Beatles version? now I'm gonna go check!
	4:32pm common: @kat330: I'm checking it out this weekend!
	4:32pm kat330: @paula: Yes, it IS in the original. Whenever the song comes up in my iTunes mix, I'm singing that horn counterpoint rather than the melody.
	4:33pm kat330: @common: yeah, yeah, I've heard that one before. Hearing is believing.
	4:33pm paula pc: @ kat330 - superb; THANK YOU. OK Kurt - all is well -- and this is certainly soothing my head
	4:33pm fred: @kat330: of course, the "face 2 face" one. Obviously, I don't know him personally. He did generate interesting discussions. I was just an onlooker, but he came across as despised for his technique, but lines got blurry when discussing technique in context of his aim. Some said he was just building his brand, others that his limitations jelled enough with his discourse for it to be an aesthetically valid statement. Then others said the aesthetic position explained the chosen technique. Divisive, in a way that's hard to make sense of. The criticism is easy to dismiss as sour grapes, but he's indeed building a brand. Some of his critics readily acknowledge it's what's needed to make it. I personally don't like his work, but these conversations made clear I'm in no position to have a valid opinion
	4:34pm TDK60: I like when a cover is somewhat unique and soulful, like Marc R.
	4:35pm kirk from beer city usa: agreed, TDK60. This beats the hell out of Gabor Szabo's Beatles covers.
	4:36pm common: @kat330: you'll see.
	4:37pm kat330: @fred: As usual, thank you for your well-considered thoughts on JR! I only got wind of him on Colbert, and the drone project really moved me. If it can do any good whatsoever, I don't care if his main motive is brand building.
	4:38pm fred: My fave cover of "happiness is a warm gun" is Pipilotti Rist's "I'm not the girl who misses much". Is that on the menu?
	4:39pm Carmichael: Heya Koit, hi kids. Thank God I haven't tuned in yet. Think I'll wait till this song is over ... :)
	4:41pm paula pc: Kurt, can't we hear the whole record?!! They are Slavs, it fits TWO main themes --- you know how great one after 909 and across the universe are on this record
	4:41pm fred: @kat330: As I failed to convey, these were not my thoughts, just my attempt as relaying the thoughts of artists I know. I wouldn't come up with that on my own
	4:41pm paula pc: just kidding -- but I will think about it as if it is happening
	4:42pm MD: Now this is what I call Labor Day Music!!!
	4:47pm kat330: @paula: if misery loves any company, I've had a very painful stiff neck all day and can't turn my head to the left without a jolt of pain. :,
	4:47pm fred: For a moment I thought Laibach were about to break into Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence. Which I think could have been awesome. Or a disaster. Enjoyable either way
	4:47pm chris: Beatles cover? Czech.
	4:49pm Carmichael: Komm gib mir deine Cover.
	4:49pm fred: Proof that the Beatles are an evil plan from outer space: I didn't notice the language change, I was hearing the English lyrics. And I don't even like the Beatles
	4:52pm lloyd michigan: I don't believe anyone who says they don't like the Beatles.
	4:53pm Carmichael: I'm actually so-so about the Beatles. Now the Rutles, I adore!
	4:54pm fred: @kat330: I hope you'll feel better soon. I know it's not that big a deal, but I get a stiff neck once in a while, and I hate it
	4:55pm lloyd michigan: Love the Rutles. All You Need Is Cash.
	4:55pm common: happy 3 day weekend! beersies! feel better kat330.
	4:55pm kat330: @lloyd: Does seem a bit contrarian just for contrarianism's sake. But it's like people who claim to actually enjoy some clearly obnoxious noise. Same idea of some "coolness" factor.
	4:56pm kat330: Thanks, fred and thanks, common! I tried out a new pillow last night is all. Very bad idea.
	4:57pm fred: @lloyd michigan: work for a few weeks on chord transcription software where the only reference is a database made of Beatles songs, and I vouch you won't trust yourself
	4:59pm lloyd michigan: I'll get right on that. Right now, I am outta here. Have a good weekend, all!
	5:01pm Dean: How does a proper name translate to Czech for "Few know me"?
	5:02pm fred: @kat330: I do enjoy some obnoxious noise. Not as much as Mongolian long song. Though some people thing that is obnoxious noise. One can't please everybody, so I just stopped trying
	5:03pm Kurt Gottschalk: dean, a lot of the lyrics to the czech covers were completely rewritten, not just translated. some of them were made into political songs, only borrowing (and licensing) the music.
	5:04pm fred: @lloyd michigan: Enjoy the weekend, and don't let those beersies gather dust!
	5:05pm Dean: Well, I sure hope "Imagine" hasn't been turned into a political song!
	5:05pm paula pc: no fair you are making us listen to this - it is NOT a Beatles song!
	5:06pm paula pc: ok, worth it for Dean's comment.
	5:06pm Kurt Gottschalk: the last three weren't, ppc
	5:07pm kat330: If it's genuine, self-honest appreciation of -- whatever -- sound, then A-ok and more speed to ya by me. But I'm pretty sure I've gotten many whiffs of pretension in both loves and hates since finding WFMU music and these lists back in 2012.
	5:07pm fred: @paula pc: my fave random greeting on the WFMU homepage is "Where Grudges Are Still Harbored Against John Lennon For Breaking Up Fluxus"
	5:08pm paula pc: @ kurt -- ah, right. can't remember what viktor and skupina performed, but I'm sure you're right... and @fred is SO right
	5:10pm chris: is this from some failed sondheim-esque musical?
	5:11pm Dean: I thought all musicals were Sondheim-esque.
	5:12pm kat330: @Dean: Lerner, Lowe, Rodgers and Hammerstein might beg to differ.
	5:12pm fred: @kat330: I swear I'm too socially awkward to pull off any such pretense. The Beatles were before my time, and it's true that I've spent hours listening to poor recordings while debugging software. But deep down, I just like Yoko better
	5:14pm chris: Right on, fred.
	5:15pm kat330: @fred: Surement, hours of lousy recordings could do it, and everyone -- no exceptions -- is somewhat a subjective slave to the era in which they grew up, the soundtrack of their coming-of-age and so on.
	5:15pm Stanley: Hello Kurt and listeners. I'm listening and happy to be so,
	5:15pm robyn: are we gonna listen to "Genius is Pain"?
	5:16pm fred: @paula pc: I love it because it's factually wrong and ridiculous, and very Fluxus in its own way
	5:16pm Dean: I'm confused. Wasn't "The Worst Pies in London" from Camelot?
	5:17pm kat330: @Dean: Shirley you jest.
	5:17pm Dean: Stop calling me, surely.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...John of course actually says 'Cranberry Sauce' @ end of StrawberryFields ...however: if you play 'Revolution #9' backwards - it does say, 'Paul is dead - miss him miss him' every time it says '#9' forwards...
	5:20pm kat330: @Dean: I meant to type: Shirley you joust.
	5:20pm Dean: @kat330: Touché!
	5:22pm steve: bravo, excellent covers/non covers
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Msr. Antunes here reminded me of bits of 'Starship' by MC5...or some Floyd off Ummagumma...or any # of Avant things right...
	5:25pm fred: @kat330: In part, it's because the Beatles basically wrote the book about pop songs. What are you going to rebel against then? In another, more serious way, it became a baseline. Not many ways to top that in that direction. Not that they tried to do this, I even suspect that that enshrinement was more of a factor in their split than Yoko One. It's not that I didn't grow up with them. It's that they defined the musical environment in which I grew up. Then the Clash came. Not smashing the walls, just opening the windows
	5:25pm Carmichael: Touche, Robyn! "And Mick Jagger, I think that Mick's an asshole with his stupid faggot dancing ..." Great parody.
	5:25pm sádlo ð: the 'Př' in Představy: pronounce as p plus j: Pj-ed-stavy. 'P-jed-sta-vie', with 'P-jed' spoken really fast
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon: 'If I could've pulled down TheBeatles pants & shown them for what they really were, I would've stayed'...
	5:28pm fred: @RRN63: he did pull down his own pants, so nobody can say he didn't mean it
	5:28pm chris: děkuji, sádlo :-)
	5:29pm kat330: @fred: Socially awkward face-to-face aside, you are always very thoughtful and well-versed in your comment contributions. Merci for that!
	5:32pm Dean: The Beatles were a formative component of my youth. It's hard to view them objectively. I do think there was something almost sui generis about them, all hype aside. But I never forget that the group went well beyond the Fab Four from Liverpool. George Martin, Billy Preston ... amazing collaborators.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yoko was - / - is - certainly jealous & somewhat possessive of John. Aren't we all?!: that's why it's an issue & we have this sort of discussion. ...But for any single 'event' - I go w/ Epstein dying being responsible for their demise as band. No one could 'Manage' TheBeatles - certianly not themselves (buncha musicial counter-culturists)... ...Lennon said in early 70s - you wanna know what TheBeatles would be like now - just play our solo albums together!; pity that they couldn't have stuck together - but McCartney & others hang whilst John explored where he did ? John hang whilst Paul thrives playing Live & mastering the Top40 in his 70s stylee ? They'd just outgrown each other, is all...
	5:34pm Dean: I kick myself to this day for unloading the Yoko LPs I once owned. I have a bruise to prove it.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I meant - Epstein's death as the single most important thing in the break-up...
	5:36pm JakeGould: Hello peeps!
	5:37pm kat330: @Dean: Yep, I imagine it was not GJP or R who came up with that "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" horn counterpoint for e.g., nor many of the arrangement parts that speak to me the most -- well, a G maybe, but not the Fab Four one.
	5:37pm fred: @kat330: I'm blushing... Thanks for being around. I mean it. I resented the time when you went away and didn't comment. I know it's the wrong feeling, especially as it wasn't directed at anyone or anything, but it was aimless resentment at whatever made that happen. Please don't do that again. Or specify a target
	5:37pm Kurt Gottschalk: i love the beatles, all of them.
	5:38pm Dean: Did I mention (last week) I met Pete Best?
	5:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: v cool!
	5:39pm Stanley: I love this violin track by Henry Flint.
	5:40pm Dean: The parenthetical refers to the anterior verb, btw. I didn't meet him last week.
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some people will just never get to Yoko - but then - TheBeatles started to noticibly lose people by 1965 w/ their progressions anyhow...altho' Psychedelia brought a huge amount of the human race into the Avant Guard successfully !! - I've said before here I rate George Martin pretty high in it all - Producer/Arranger of those recordings - that's almost Writer, & the man who sealed the deal on their success, really...
	5:42pm Dean: If you're ever asked for an example of understatement, you could do worse than "some people will just never get to Yoko."
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still people w/ 'I Still Hate Yoko' t-shirts @ Beatle things...
	5:43pm kat330: @fred: My primary not-commenting period was/is specified in my profile for the most part. The overall lessening of commenting has to do with 1) Can I spare the time (and put my music production aside)? and 2) Do I feel good afterwards or lousy (with certain group dynamics)?
	5:43pm P-90: @Dean: Yes you said you met Pete B. in the San Fernando Valley.... I think?
	5:44pm kat330: @Stanley: Me, too.
	5:45pm Dean: @P-90: Almost. It was the east end of LA County, in Whittier, an uptown street fair.
	5:49pm fred: @RRN63: No joke there, I think Yoko Ono is interesting as an artist. Not just then (though here contribution to Fluxus shouldn't be overlooked). Now too. Well, now, I'm not so lucky, but I saw her work a couple of years ago, and there's actually something potent there. She used photos of John and Sean there, but it was soon obvious it was just another possible way into the main thing, which was fragile yet strong, but thoroughly naive. I think she owns that, and the emotional appeal was potent. And she still tries to drag you in, to involve you. Even when she doesn't, I have to applaud the craftsmanship of the trap. Which isn't really one. She's awfully smart
	5:52pm Kurt Gottschalk: gene santoro once wrote that yoko didn't ruin john's career, he ruined hers. and while they clearly wanted to work together and be together, there is a valid point there. ono wasn't the kind of artist who needed to be working with eric clapton or known by millions. i like a lot of her records but she still suffers from having been put on the pop market. it's very possible she could have been much more interesting if she hadn't been so popular and so unpopular.
	5:55pm Carmichael: Is SUW a rerun this evening?
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yoko's relevance is just so obvious to some of us more comfortable w/ the Avant ...like most prejudices, people think her talentless who know the least about her oeuvre... ...John said if he could do it over again, he'd be the kind of Artist who worked in obscurity. In light of the Reality of what happened ! - that's... ...Of course, the whole thing about that whole Era is the interplay & collisions of Art & Pop ; that's where all of us here live, isn't it - ?!...
	5:56pm robyn: @Carmichael I don't think so.
	5:56pm kat330: If there's anyone who has not seen this smile-producer (my caption is Bao Bao Takes a Bough), brace your face muscles: tinyurl.com... Hang in there, Bao-bies, and happy Labor Day weekend to you all!
	5:57pm Carmichael: Good, Robyn. Thanks.
	5:57pm Dean: That's a tall glass of counterfactual, Kurt. It makes sense that mutually sacrificed aspects of their careers. They were a married couple, and celebrities to boot. I don't know much of her pop stuff, but I love "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss." It's the one Yoko record remaining in my collection, a 45rpm.
	5:57pm fred: @kat330: How socially awkward... It never occurred to me to check your profile, so I didn't know about it (I always wonder about whether it's a breach of privacy to look at someone's profile). Still, not speaking for any community, just for myself: I missed you, so please don't disappear again. I'm just saying that as egoistically as possible
	5:58pm kat330: @Kurt and commenters: Thanks for a program where I indeed feel good afterwards! :)
	5:58pm P-90: ...and Happy Labor Day to you too, kat330, Philo too, and all the WFMUsers
	5:59pm kat330: @fred: Whenever the planets align, count on it!
	5:59pm Dean: The show is over. Send in the clowns. Nice chatting with all of you. Thanks!
	6:00pm Carmichael: And thank you, Kurt. Good long weekend, everyone!
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Thx All.
	6:01pm P-90: Coming in 2015: The Chechen Beatles arrive!
	6:03pm fred: @Dean: Kiss, Kiss, Kiss is a jewel, and the Dirtbombs cover might be even better
	6:05pm Dean: @fred: I will seek it out! Thank you for the tip.
	6:10pm fred: @Dean: I you don't find it, I'll send it to you
	6:15pm Dean: @fred: Just found it on Grooveshark. Digging the baritone.

Listener comments!
	3:01pm DCE: NICE!
	3:01pm common: yes, minnesota jeff...yes!
	3:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: NASCAR = Checkered Flag Today's Show = Czechered Flag Do I have that right?
	3:05pm northguineahills: This isn't one of Bailey's Company events, is it?
	3:07pm steve: im excited for them beatles covers
	3:10pm still b/p: The Silence of the Lads.
	3:11pm Kurt Gottschalk: b/p, ha! hello everyone! we'll get to the czech beatles in a bit, i promise.
	3:15pm emmagineering: oh hai djkg
	3:15pm Kurt Gottschalk: emmmmmmmmmmma!
	3:16pm Mark Helsten: The Chechen Beatles are very strange.
	3:17pm Mark Helsten: Someone should fire them.
	3:17pm Kurt Gottschalk: emmagineering is responsible for my avatar and the minotaurs running on the turntable on my playlist page and a couple of my premium cd covers. and loads of other beautiful work. say hi to her, everyone!
	3:17pm Mark Helsten: Yeah. I really dig her work! Hi Emma!
	3:18pm Kurt Gottschalk: i'm afraid i have no chechen beatles, mark, only czech.
	3:20pm Mark Helsten: Spell check did that for me and I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen.
	3:20pm Kurt Gottschalk: i do have some bulgarian beatles as well, tho.
	3:20pm Kurt Gottschalk: spell czech
	3:21pm fred: The minotaurs on the turntable is a really great image. Where can I see more of Emma's work?
	3:21pm Mark Helsten: Yes. It is a pun buried within a pun buried within a pun!
	3:22pm Mark Helsten: I regress...
	3:23pm emmagineering: fred: vectornectar.com lol thanks!
	3:24pm fred: @Mark Helsten: more bad math jokes: mathwithbaddrawings.com...
	3:28pm fred: @emmagineering: Thanks for the link. You made that Chadbourne cover? Wow
	3:29pm emmagineering: yupp :) thanks! hi mark helsten!
	3:33pm kat330: It may be a mute point, but today's image puts me in mind of "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. BTW, GOOD one, still b/p! Hello, Kurt and gatherees! Everyone's in the mute for a great Labor Day weekend I hope.
	3:36pm Mark Helsten: I posted the cover of that (I have no mouth) to a thread in a Facebook group only minutes ago. Mr. G played dumb...
	3:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: it is no play, i is the dum.
	3:41pm kat330: @Mark: I believe I made this same pun in a different context -- if memory serves, it was re: an image Caryn had -- but your avatar is utterly fedorable!
	3:42pm fred: @kat330: nice reference there! My mood is different, it's back to work for me on Monday. Which means deleting stale emails. 30% should be people looking for phone chargers (Apple dominates my workplace), 25% about elevators being out of order, 20% about "real estate" (meaning looking for roommates or sub-renters), 15% obsolete commit messages, 9% bromide from HR, and 1% stuff I should read but will most likely delete along with the rest
	3:43pm Kurt Gottschalk: some nice imagery: hifructose.com...
	3:46pm kat330: @fred: Ellison and Theodore Sturgeon helped me through my childhood. @Kurt: Nice images indeed. Like the bunny with the bun in the oven.
	3:51pm fred: I always found it interesting that May 1st is Labor day in other countries in a large part because of an event that took place in the US, while the US hold it in September. The history is fascinating to me.
	3:53pm kat330: It would seem much of US holiday setting is based on what's best for consumerism.
	3:55pm DCE: that's completely true, kat
	3:58pm fred: In that particular case, it's also a celebration of hypocrisy: other countries made it a holiday in honor of workers crushed in the US, while crushing their own. I'm not shocked the Cleveland administration preferred another date
	3:58pm TDK60: It's purposeful historical amnesia, Labor Day.
	4:03pm Guido from Cologne: Ach Du Lieber Gott!
	4:03pm fred: Just to be clear, then I stop: almost nobody in France knows about Haymarket, even in the anarcho-syndicalist fringe (yes, they still exist)
	4:08pm kat330: @fred: Are you a Belgian in Paris, or am I way off the mark? What do you think of the work of French photographer JR if you know of him at all?
	4:11pm TDK60: Now that organ has something, at end of 'Michelle'.
	4:11pm fleep: Skipping here, there and everywhere.
	4:12pm fred: @kat330: I don't think I know JR. I'm not sure because I do know photographers, but I never ask anyone's name. I'm a French guy, I was born in Paris but never could afford to live there
	4:14pm fred: @kat330: do you have a link for some of his work? Though if he's well-known, I probably don't know him
	4:14pm kat330: He remains anonymous with the conscience of a humanitarian, like his favela project in Rio and this in a Pakistan field: www.cnn.com...
	4:16pm kat330: And this: solpurpose.com...
	4:18pm Dean: Coincidentally, this is just up on Yahoo: http://www.last.fm/music/The+Beatles/_/Penny+Lane
	4:18pm kat330: But the best about the man himself: thecolbertreport.cc.com...
	4:19pm kat330: This Bootles is certainly a very faithful rendition.
	4:20pm common: indeed, kat330. pretty impressive.
	4:21pm steve: this is awesome
	4:21pm Dean: Mrs. Miller, "Hard Day's Night," wicked.
	4:22pm kat330: @common: Yes, if that is one's goal. I purposely try for a different spin on my covers.
	4:24pm kat330: this Blues Five being a case in point. ;)
	4:24pm common: @kat330: me too. i still gotta listen to your tunes. i suck.
	4:27pm kat330: @common: No argument from me on that! <g> Seriously, though, some will not be downloadable after October 5th because SC puts a 100 DL cap on tracks within free accounts, which I'm reverting back to at that time.
	4:27pm paula pc: i have a headache, i turned this show, and this just made it worse
	4:27pm paula pc: the tapping is not saving it
	4:28pm paula pc: or the polite? applause
	4:28pm kat330: @paula: Does it sound like someone's tap dancing inside your skull?
	4:29pm paula pc: but I realize, there is a theme to serve here. @kat330 -- yes
	4:30pm Kurt Gottschalk: here to serve!
	4:30pm kat330: I've always loved the counterpoint of the horns in the chorus of this.
	4:31pm paula pc: but that horn counterpoint during the chorus of this is TERRIFIC, and I'm not sure it's in the original
	4:31pm steve: these are so great
	4:31pm kat330: Acccchhhh! JINX, Paula!
	4:32pm paula pc: @kat330 -- so that's in the Beatles version? now I'm gonna go check!
	4:32pm common: @kat330: I'm checking it out this weekend!
	4:32pm kat330: @paula: Yes, it IS in the original. Whenever the song comes up in my iTunes mix, I'm singing that horn counterpoint rather than the melody.
	4:33pm kat330: @common: yeah, yeah, I've heard that one before. Hearing is believing.
	4:33pm paula pc: @ kat330 - superb; THANK YOU. OK Kurt - all is well -- and this is certainly soothing my head
	4:33pm fred: @kat330: of course, the "face 2 face" one. Obviously, I don't know him personally. He did generate interesting discussions. I was just an onlooker, but he came across as despised for his technique, but lines got blurry when discussing technique in context of his aim. Some said he was just building his brand, others that his limitations jelled enough with his discourse for it to be an aesthetically valid statement. Then others said the aesthetic position explained the chosen technique. Divisive, in a way that's hard to make sense of. The criticism is easy to dismiss as sour grapes, but he's indeed building a brand. Some of his critics readily acknowledge it's what's needed to make it. I personally don't like his work, but these conversations made clear I'm in no position to have a valid opinion
	4:34pm TDK60: I like when a cover is somewhat unique and soulful, like Marc R.
	4:35pm kirk from beer city usa: agreed, TDK60. This beats the hell out of Gabor Szabo's Beatles covers.
	4:36pm common: @kat330: you'll see.
	4:37pm kat330: @fred: As usual, thank you for your well-considered thoughts on JR! I only got wind of him on Colbert, and the drone project really moved me. If it can do any good whatsoever, I don't care if his main motive is brand building.
	4:38pm fred: My fave cover of "happiness is a warm gun" is Pipilotti Rist's "I'm not the girl who misses much". Is that on the menu?
	4:39pm Carmichael: Heya Koit, hi kids. Thank God I haven't tuned in yet. Think I'll wait till this song is over ... :)
	4:41pm paula pc: Kurt, can't we hear the whole record?!! They are Slavs, it fits TWO main themes --- you know how great one after 909 and across the universe are on this record
	4:41pm fred: @kat330: As I failed to convey, these were not my thoughts, just my attempt as relaying the thoughts of artists I know. I wouldn't come up with that on my own
	4:41pm paula pc: just kidding -- but I will think about it as if it is happening
	4:42pm MD: Now this is what I call Labor Day Music!!!
	4:47pm kat330: @paula: if misery loves any company, I've had a very painful stiff neck all day and can't turn my head to the left without a jolt of pain. :,
	4:47pm fred: For a moment I thought Laibach were about to break into Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence. Which I think could have been awesome. Or a disaster. Enjoyable either way
	4:47pm chris: Beatles cover? Czech.
	4:49pm Carmichael: Komm gib mir deine Cover.
	4:49pm fred: Proof that the Beatles are an evil plan from outer space: I didn't notice the language change, I was hearing the English lyrics. And I don't even like the Beatles
	4:52pm lloyd michigan: I don't believe anyone who says they don't like the Beatles.
	4:53pm Carmichael: I'm actually so-so about the Beatles. Now the Rutles, I adore!
	4:54pm fred: @kat330: I hope you'll feel better soon. I know it's not that big a deal, but I get a stiff neck once in a while, and I hate it
	4:55pm lloyd michigan: Love the Rutles. All You Need Is Cash.
	4:55pm common: happy 3 day weekend! beersies! feel better kat330.
	4:55pm kat330: @lloyd: Does seem a bit contrarian just for contrarianism's sake. But it's like people who claim to actually enjoy some clearly obnoxious noise. Same idea of some "coolness" factor.
	4:56pm kat330: Thanks, fred and thanks, common! I tried out a new pillow last night is all. Very bad idea.
	4:57pm fred: @lloyd michigan: work for a few weeks on chord transcription software where the only reference is a database made of Beatles songs, and I vouch you won't trust yourself
	4:59pm lloyd michigan: I'll get right on that. Right now, I am outta here. Have a good weekend, all!
	5:01pm Dean: How does a proper name translate to Czech for "Few know me"?
	5:02pm fred: @kat330: I do enjoy some obnoxious noise. Not as much as Mongolian long song. Though some people thing that is obnoxious noise. One can't please everybody, so I just stopped trying
	5:03pm Kurt Gottschalk: dean, a lot of the lyrics to the czech covers were completely rewritten, not just translated. some of them were made into political songs, only borrowing (and licensing) the music.
	5:04pm fred: @lloyd michigan: Enjoy the weekend, and don't let those beersies gather dust!
	5:05pm Dean: Well, I sure hope "Imagine" hasn't been turned into a political song!
	5:05pm paula pc: no fair you are making us listen to this - it is NOT a Beatles song!
	5:06pm paula pc: ok, worth it for Dean's comment.
	5:06pm Kurt Gottschalk: the last three weren't, ppc
	5:07pm kat330: If it's genuine, self-honest appreciation of -- whatever -- sound, then A-ok and more speed to ya by me. But I'm pretty sure I've gotten many whiffs of pretension in both loves and hates since finding WFMU music and these lists back in 2012.
	5:07pm fred: @paula pc: my fave random greeting on the WFMU homepage is "Where Grudges Are Still Harbored Against John Lennon For Breaking Up Fluxus"
	5:08pm paula pc: @ kurt -- ah, right. can't remember what viktor and skupina performed, but I'm sure you're right... and @fred is SO right
	5:10pm chris: is this from some failed sondheim-esque musical?
	5:11pm Dean: I thought all musicals were Sondheim-esque.
	5:12pm kat330: @Dean: Lerner, Lowe, Rodgers and Hammerstein might beg to differ.
	5:12pm fred: @kat330: I swear I'm too socially awkward to pull off any such pretense. The Beatles were before my time, and it's true that I've spent hours listening to poor recordings while debugging software. But deep down, I just like Yoko better
	5:14pm chris: Right on, fred.
	5:15pm kat330: @fred: Surement, hours of lousy recordings could do it, and everyone -- no exceptions -- is somewhat a subjective slave to the era in which they grew up, the soundtrack of their coming-of-age and so on.
	5:15pm Stanley: Hello Kurt and listeners. I'm listening and happy to be so,
	5:15pm robyn: are we gonna listen to "Genius is Pain"?
	5:16pm fred: @paula pc: I love it because it's factually wrong and ridiculous, and very Fluxus in its own way
	5:16pm Dean: I'm confused. Wasn't "The Worst Pies in London" from Camelot?
	5:17pm kat330: @Dean: Shirley you jest.
	5:17pm Dean: Stop calling me, surely.
	5:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...John of course actually says 'Cranberry Sauce' @ end of StrawberryFields ...however: if you play 'Revolution #9' backwards - it does say, 'Paul is dead - miss him miss him' every time it says '#9' forwards...
	5:20pm kat330: @Dean: I meant to type: Shirley you joust.
	5:20pm Dean: @kat330: Touché!
	5:22pm steve: bravo, excellent covers/non covers
	5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Msr. Antunes here reminded me of bits of 'Starship' by MC5...or some Floyd off Ummagumma...or any # of Avant things right...
	5:25pm fred: @kat330: In part, it's because the Beatles basically wrote the book about pop songs. What are you going to rebel against then? In another, more serious way, it became a baseline. Not many ways to top that in that direction. Not that they tried to do this, I even suspect that that enshrinement was more of a factor in their split than Yoko One. It's not that I didn't grow up with them. It's that they defined the musical environment in which I grew up. Then the Clash came. Not smashing the walls, just opening the windows
	5:25pm Carmichael: Touche, Robyn! "And Mick Jagger, I think that Mick's an asshole with his stupid faggot dancing ..." Great parody.
	5:25pm sádlo ð: the 'Př' in Představy: pronounce as p plus j: Pj-ed-stavy. 'P-jed-sta-vie', with 'P-jed' spoken really fast
	5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon: 'If I could've pulled down TheBeatles pants & shown them for what they really were, I would've stayed'...
	5:28pm fred: @RRN63: he did pull down his own pants, so nobody can say he didn't mean it
	5:28pm chris: děkuji, sádlo :-)
	5:29pm kat330: @fred: Socially awkward face-to-face aside, you are always very thoughtful and well-versed in your comment contributions. Merci for that!
	5:32pm Dean: The Beatles were a formative component of my youth. It's hard to view them objectively. I do think there was something almost sui generis about them, all hype aside. But I never forget that the group went well beyond the Fab Four from Liverpool. George Martin, Billy Preston ... amazing collaborators.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yoko was - / - is - certainly jealous & somewhat possessive of John. Aren't we all?!: that's why it's an issue & we have this sort of discussion. ...But for any single 'event' - I go w/ Epstein dying being responsible for their demise as band. No one could 'Manage' TheBeatles - certianly not themselves (buncha musicial counter-culturists)... ...Lennon said in early 70s - you wanna know what TheBeatles would be like now - just play our solo albums together!; pity that they couldn't have stuck together - but McCartney & others hang whilst John explored where he did ? John hang whilst Paul thrives playing Live & mastering the Top40 in his 70s stylee ? They'd just outgrown each other, is all...
	5:34pm Dean: I kick myself to this day for unloading the Yoko LPs I once owned. I have a bruise to prove it.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I meant - Epstein's death as the single most important thing in the break-up...
	5:36pm JakeGould: Hello peeps!
	5:37pm kat330: @Dean: Yep, I imagine it was not GJP or R who came up with that "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" horn counterpoint for e.g., nor many of the arrangement parts that speak to me the most -- well, a G maybe, but not the Fab Four one.
	5:37pm fred: @kat330: I'm blushing... Thanks for being around. I mean it. I resented the time when you went away and didn't comment. I know it's the wrong feeling, especially as it wasn't directed at anyone or anything, but it was aimless resentment at whatever made that happen. Please don't do that again. Or specify a target
	5:37pm Kurt Gottschalk: i love the beatles, all of them.
	5:38pm Dean: Did I mention (last week) I met Pete Best?
	5:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: v cool!
	5:39pm Stanley: I love this violin track by Henry Flint.
	5:40pm Dean: The parenthetical refers to the anterior verb, btw. I didn't meet him last week.
	5:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some people will just never get to Yoko - but then - TheBeatles started to noticibly lose people by 1965 w/ their progressions anyhow...altho' Psychedelia brought a huge amount of the human race into the Avant Guard successfully !! - I've said before here I rate George Martin pretty high in it all - Producer/Arranger of those recordings - that's almost Writer, & the man who sealed the deal on their success, really...
	5:42pm Dean: If you're ever asked for an example of understatement, you could do worse than "some people will just never get to Yoko."
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still people w/ 'I Still Hate Yoko' t-shirts @ Beatle things...
	5:43pm kat330: @fred: My primary not-commenting period was/is specified in my profile for the most part. The overall lessening of commenting has to do with 1) Can I spare the time (and put my music production aside)? and 2) Do I feel good afterwards or lousy (with certain group dynamics)?
	5:43pm P-90: @Dean: Yes you said you met Pete B. in the San Fernando Valley.... I think?
	5:44pm kat330: @Stanley: Me, too.
	5:45pm Dean: @P-90: Almost. It was the east end of LA County, in Whittier, an uptown street fair.
	5:49pm fred: @RRN63: No joke there, I think Yoko Ono is interesting as an artist. Not just then (though here contribution to Fluxus shouldn't be overlooked). Now too. Well, now, I'm not so lucky, but I saw her work a couple of years ago, and there's actually something potent there. She used photos of John and Sean there, but it was soon obvious it was just another possible way into the main thing, which was fragile yet strong, but thoroughly naive. I think she owns that, and the emotional appeal was potent. And she still tries to drag you in, to involve you. Even when she doesn't, I have to applaud the craftsmanship of the trap. Which isn't really one. She's awfully smart
	5:52pm Kurt Gottschalk: gene santoro once wrote that yoko didn't ruin john's career, he ruined hers. and while they clearly wanted to work together and be together, there is a valid point there. ono wasn't the kind of artist who needed to be working with eric clapton or known by millions. i like a lot of her records but she still suffers from having been put on the pop market. it's very possible she could have been much more interesting if she hadn't been so popular and so unpopular.
	5:55pm Carmichael: Is SUW a rerun this evening?
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yoko's relevance is just so obvious to some of us more comfortable w/ the Avant ...like most prejudices, people think her talentless who know the least about her oeuvre... ...John said if he could do it over again, he'd be the kind of Artist who worked in obscurity. In light of the Reality of what happened ! - that's... ...Of course, the whole thing about that whole Era is the interplay & collisions of Art & Pop ; that's where all of us here live, isn't it - ?!...
	5:56pm robyn: @Carmichael I don't think so.
	5:56pm kat330: If there's anyone who has not seen this smile-producer (my caption is Bao Bao Takes a Bough), brace your face muscles: tinyurl.com... Hang in there, Bao-bies, and happy Labor Day weekend to you all!
	5:57pm Carmichael: Good, Robyn. Thanks.
	5:57pm Dean: That's a tall glass of counterfactual, Kurt. It makes sense that mutually sacrificed aspects of their careers. They were a married couple, and celebrities to boot. I don't know much of her pop stuff, but I love "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss." It's the one Yoko record remaining in my collection, a 45rpm.
	5:57pm fred: @kat330: How socially awkward... It never occurred to me to check your profile, so I didn't know about it (I always wonder about whether it's a breach of privacy to look at someone's profile). Still, not speaking for any community, just for myself: I missed you, so please don't disappear again. I'm just saying that as egoistically as possible
	5:58pm kat330: @Kurt and commenters: Thanks for a program where I indeed feel good afterwards! :)
	5:58pm P-90: ...and Happy Labor Day to you too, kat330, Philo too, and all the WFMUsers
	5:59pm kat330: @fred: Whenever the planets align, count on it!
	5:59pm Dean: The show is over. Send in the clowns. Nice chatting with all of you. Thanks!
	6:00pm Carmichael: And thank you, Kurt. Good long weekend, everyone!
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Thx All.
	6:01pm P-90: Coming in 2015: The Chechen Beatles arrive!
	6:03pm fred: @Dean: Kiss, Kiss, Kiss is a jewel, and the Dirtbombs cover might be even better
	6:05pm Dean: @fred: I will seek it out! Thank you for the tip.
	6:10pm fred: @Dean: I you don't find it, I'll send it to you
	6:15pm Dean: @fred: Just found it on Grooveshark. Digging the baritone.
