WFMU: Bodega Pop with Gary Sullivan: Playlist from December 31, 2014

Listener comments!
	7:00pm ndbob: evening Gary and everyone!
	7:01pm Gary: Welcome to the party, Bob!
	7:06pm northguineahills: I won tickets to see Dizze Rascal from my friend's party raffle the first time he played in NYC. (Where he used a flatbed as a stage). To say the least, I totally spaced on the date and forgot to go.
	7:07pm ndbob: heya NGH!
	7:07pm Gary: Oh, man, NGH ...
	7:09pm northguineahills: hellos, ndbob & Gary!
	7:14pm glenn: dyslexics untie!
	7:15pm Gary: Nnleg!
	7:17pm listener james from westwood: Good evening, Gary and all!!
	7:17pm ndbob: hello Glenn!
	7:18pm Gary: James!
	7:18pm Gary: Nice to see you guys here -- I had no idea if anyone would show up on New Year's Eve
	7:19pm ndbob: Heya James!
	7:20pm Doug Schulkind: Happy gnu ears, Gary! Happy gnu ears, everyone!
	7:21pm steve: hey folks
	7:21pm Gary: Doug! Steve! It's all gnu to me!
	7:22pm listener james from westwood: Workdays all this week, but going to lunch w friends tomorrow. Midweek NYEs are tough amid freelancing. Work, then eat, then read & listen to the stream.
	7:22pm Gary: Discovered this crazy robotic sub-genre / collective, PC Music, via: digthattreasure.blogspot.com
	7:23pm Gary: Also, not sure it's obvious, but GFOTY = Girlfriend of the Year
	7:25pm steve: "Palette" by Tielsie on PC Music was one of my fav tracks this year. very intriguing label.
	7:26pm listener james from westwood: Didn't know GFOTY, but I am approximately as hip as a rock.
	7:32pm listener james from westwood: Oooooh, that sax bit behind NWA during the intro = the one used in "Bring the Noise"?
	7:33pm Gary: Sounds like it, yeah!
	7:36pm listener james from westwood: Aaaaaand Dr. Google sez yes! They also share a bit o "Funky Drummer," the Henrietta Lacks cell of hip-hop.
	7:38pm glenn: hey guys. i like to think of it as boring new year.
	7:39pm glenn: or to quote jackie gleason - "new years eve is for amateurs".
	7:39pm Gary: Just finished Greg Milner's Perfecting Sound Forever: An Aural History of Recorded Music ... great section on Public Enemy near the end of the book
	7:40pm Holly in NC: Happy New Year, Gary & all! @ljfw - +1000000000000 for Henrietta Lacks reference :-)
	7:41pm Doug Schulkind: That GFOTY sounded kinda Die Antwoordish.
	7:42pm Gary: Holly!
	7:43pm Gary: I need to check out Die Antwoord ... I can't remember if I've DLed / listened to anything yet
	7:43pm Holly in NC: Die Antwoord videos make me feel very unclean. Which I suppose is the intent.
	🇰🇷 7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary Sullivan - Truth to Power !
	7:44pm Gary: Rev Rab!
	7:44pm Ike: Hello! I'm just stopping in for a few minutes to feed the cat. Good to see all of you here.
	7:46pm Gary: Bonsoir, Ike!
	7:46pm Gary: Pet kitty for all of us!
	7:49pm Holly in NC: NYC po-pos need to be fired, en masse, and Mayor needs to grow a pair. In contrast, Nashville Police Chief is really quite amazing & very eloquent: www.tennessean.com...
	7:50pm Doug Schulkind: It confounds me that Die Antwoord hasn't received more air play on FMU. On the other hand, I dig them, but have never played a single track. I guess that's what 2015 is for.
	7:50pm Gary: I saw that Nashville guy via FB, yeah. And yes, everyone who turned should just be ... turned out.
	7:50pm glenn: while i'm pretty much pro union, i would throw the police union head dudes off the space shuttle in a heartbeat.
	7:52pm glenn: space station, i should say.
	7:53pm steve: Holly - that letter is so good i couldn't even believe it was real at first.
	7:54pm ndbob: amazing and eloquent is right Holly - tho I think everyone here is overreacting to what admittedly were some seriously unprofessional NYPD actions
	7:55pm steve: agreed re: DeBlasio, even Giuliani was on TV over the weekend saying the PBA spokeman a hole and the cops turning their backs on him crossed a line.
	7:56pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Holly! Rebecca Skloot's book on the topic was a gem.
	7:56pm ndbob: firing everyone who behaved terribly won't solve the problem
	7:57pm peter: hey gary! i just today finished "sea of poppies" by amitav ghosh, which i loved, so that's my recommendation!
	7:59pm ndbob: I need to go excellent hour Gary - happy New Year everyone!
	8:00pm Holly in NC: @steve - Yes. Glad you share my reaction. @ndbob - I very respectfully disagree re overreaction, I am seriously worried that NYPD is well on the way to forming its own army. But I should've been more clear, I think the Union head(s) s/b fired immediately, all others s/b retrained & get a second chance before firing. @ljfw - Ms. Skloot's book is one of the best, maybe the best, "pop sci" non-fiction books I've ever read. I've read it 3 times! Hate agreeing w. Oprah, but hey ;-)
	8:01pm Gary: Peter! So nice to see you!
	8:01pm Gary: Have a great night, Bob! And have a terrific year moving forward!
	8:02pm ndbob: @Holly Well I certainly would agree with the retraining
	8:02pm steve: Gary sorry ive been coming and going... are you looking for specific book genres?
	8:03pm Gary: No specific genres -- just anything interesting
	8:04pm Gary: I almost never read contemporary fiction, tho -- unless it's been translated from another language.
	8:04pm glenn: us conductors, by sean michaels.
	8:05pm peter: glad to be here, gary! got off work just in time. oh! another great recent read was "aloha america: hula circuits through the u.s. empire" by adria l. amada
	8:08pm ?: Gary, Erik B. out here in the north woods! Happy New Year!
	8:08pm Gary: Hula circuits?
	8:08pm Stanley: Live at the Bodega. Hi Gary, Happy New Year from Edinburgh
	8:08pm Gary: Erik!!!! So great to see you!
	8:08pm Holly in NC: Dear lord I love Valley of the Jeep beats, what a classic
	8:08pm Gary: Stanley! Howdy Howdy Howdy!
	8:09pm steve: best books this master dilettante read this year (that I can remember): Fiction: The Stench of Honolulu by Jack Handey A Wild Sheep Chase by Murakami Bleeding Edge by Thomas Pynchon Bio: Life After Death by Damien Echols Dishwasher by Pete Jordan Harpo Speaks! by Harpo Marx Science: Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik You Are Now Less Dumb by McRaney Other: What We See When We Read by Peter Mendelsund
	🇰🇷 8:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you haven't, everybody here should should read 'This is Your Brain on Music' by Daniel Levitin @ some point. He's both a neuro-scientist & a music producer. Thx for tip on 'Perfecting Sound Forever' !
	8:11pm ?: God, I remember seeing PE in about 1990 in Minneapolis. There was a guy standing next to me who thought he was "so cool." Turned out to be Prince!
	8:11pm Gary: You guys are totally coming through for me ... !
	8:11pm steve: oh duh also the new Oliver Sachs book Hallucinations (the Levitin mention reminded me)
	8:12pm Gary: Holy shit - seriously, Erik? Xtreme jealousy!
	8:14pm Stanley: Gary, have you read 'The Music in My Head' by Mark Hudson? One man losing it in the music scene in Dakar. Recommended.
	8:15pm Doug Schulkind: I got a bio of Eugene Debs for Xmas.
	8:15pm Gary: I haven't read that one, Stanley -- will definitely check it out
	8:15pm ?: Gary, totally true. Then, at the same PE show, I turned to my right. . . Garrison Keillor!
	8:16pm Holly in NC: @steve - thank you for recommending Damien Echol's book. I've followed the WM3 since initial doc and firmly believe they're not any of them guilty, but was worried Damien's book might be a cash grab. Now I'll check it out. Apparently crazy stepfather exonerated also, but wtf? And again: anyone here fallen into the Serial rabbit hole?
	8:16pm Gary: Ha ha
	8:16pm Gary: I've downloaded Serial, but haven't yet listened ...
	8:17pm Holly in NC: @? - PE concert, Prince to your left, Garrison Keillor to your right - NOONE could ever make that up. You win best story, forever!
	8:20pm steve: Life After Death is one of the top 5 best bios ive ever read (and i love bios and memoirs). HOWEVER the followup (whose name I can't remember.. Yours For Eternity i think its called?) which is a collection of love letters between Damien and his future wife, is, arguably, a cash grab, and while emotionally powerful definitely did not make my best of list...
	8:24pm listener james from westwood: I enjoyed Roxane Gay's "Bad Feminist" & Charles Blow's memoir, "Fire Shut Up in My Bones." Also Penny Red's "Unspeakable Things." Mostly nonfiction and essays this year.
	8:27pm listener james from westwood: I've got about 8 library books to start 2015 off with, incl. 2 on life in Victorian London and/or England by the same author. The fact that my job is essentially all reading (editing or proofing) does take up a bit of my leisure reading, but I hope to read more for myself next year (~25 leisure books in 24).
	8:28pm Holly in NC: ooh steel pan drums yes yes! GARY! Your wonderful girlfriend, sister & Mom are probably pushing same or similar, but this I guarantee - if not helpful, you need to go see a medical professional stat: - slug of whiskey, scotch, rum, or bourbon - huge squeeze of lemon - big glug of honey - lg pinch cayenne - lg coin fresh ginger, bruised, or a shitstorm of dried - mix with water to fill vessel of choice, heat or nuke - top up with more (fresh) booze, honey, lemon & cayenne Drink. IF not leaving house, repeat. Sleep, for at least 8 hours. Call in all love & favors to allow you to sleep for 8 hours. xoxox
	8:30pm Gary: Thank you for that, Holly! I used to make a sort of cayenne, ginger and one other ingredient that I've forgotten "espresso" by boiling the 3 down in water until it was almost too thick to drink.
	8:34pm northguineahills: @Holly, that sounds like an amazing cocktail I'd drink, sick or not.
	8:34pm Uncle Michael: I'm late. I apologize.
	8:35pm Gary: Tio Miguel!
	8:36pm Uncle Michael: Been listening for over an hour but I was working on my show and maintaining focus.
	8:36pm Doug Schulkind: Remember when international rap was basically MC Solaar and a few others.
	8:38pm ?: Oh, and Holly. . . guess who was behind me. . . Jesse Ventura!!!
	8:38pm Gary: I'm waiting for the hipster labels to start compiling international hip hop collections the way they do now for psych and garage
	8:39pm Holly in NC: Bad me, I forget that way before The Roots were mainstream, they were (& still are) pretty dang awesome. NO denying this song. Thank you, Gary! (Mom mode) - go make that drink! @ngh - it's wonderful, but not a cocktail. If made & used appropriately, you will go to bed, and sleep hard... and Gary sounds so awful he might need 2! ;-)
	8:39pm peter: just stumbled across this.. of interest maybe? http://www.myanmarmp3.net/en/albums/pull/1436/best-of-2014
	8:39pm Gary: Erik, you're lying!
	8:39pm Gary: Of definite interest, Peter!
	8:39pm Holly in NC: @? -OK, now I want proof. No way, ;-)
	8:40pm ?: But the Prince part was true
	8:41pm Gary: Erik, the closest I ever got to Prince was being blocked by his wedding procession (cars) as I was on my way to my job at Legal Aid.
	8:42pm ?: He does that all the time to legal aid employees.
	8:44pm ?: How come everyone else's name shows up, but I show up as a question mark? "Damnit I'm a MAN!" - Bob Segar
	8:45pm Gary: You gotta type your name in the "Name: " field
	8:45pm Uncle Michael: It's a mysterian.
	8:46pm Holly in NC: @? - new best comment tonight. Wish I could share w my Legal Aid friends. Also, @? -who are you?
	8:46pm your name: like this?
	8:46pm it's easy.: join the crowd.
	8:48pm My name is Erik B.: Oh, I thought if I entered my name, I'd get identity thefted up the ying yang.
	8:50pm 20 Benson & Hedges: You can get away with all sorts of crazy names online these days. Luckily, nobody's checking up on us.
	8:50pm would we do that?: never.
	8:52pm yeah, fuck all the checkers up.: crazy? whatchoo mean, willis?
	8:53pm northguineahills: I have it easy. My wife has just has one sister in Monterrey, and my two brothers in Orlando share the same DNA.
	9:01pm Holly in NC: @20 Benson & Hedges: I smoked, A LOT for many years. A LOT. Anyway, when I first started, after going through the usual teenage gateway Marlboro/Newport/More cigs, and a flirtation with Players, for an embarrassingly long time was all about "Benson & Hedges Ultra Light Menthol 100s" because yes, they existed, and what fun to say! I was such an idiot.
	9:02pm listener james from westwood: Kicking ass at the 2-hour mark, Gary!
	9:02pm Gary: Grazie, James!
	9:03pm davex: Checking in late tonight, Gary. Happy new year everyone - three hours in over here.
	9:03pm Holly in NC: Happy New Year & much love, Gary. Feel better soon! You will if you make that suggested Hot Toddy :-) xo
	9:03pm Gary: Happy New Year, Dave!
	9:04pm Gary: Thanks, Holly! I'll try for a modified version using what I've got in the cupboards!
	9:04pm Gary: And Happy New Year to you as well!
	9:05pm Erik B.: Gary, don't forget about the theory where you drink your own urine and it somehow has an antibiotic effect. . . or something.
	9:06pm listener james from westwood: Holly, B
	9:07pm Gary: Eww! Hey, how is Bonny doing?
	9:08pm Erik B.: She's excellent. Great show.
	9:09pm listener james from westwood: Dammit, the mobile app ate my comment. My maternal grandparents' nail of choice was Benson & Hedges. Their daughter preferred More Menthol by the time I was on the scene. Dad, Pall Mall until he made the superhuman decision to quit cold turkey in 1980. Friends of mine favor(ed) Marlboro reds, Dunghills, or, inexplicably, Djarums.
	9:09pm Erik B.: I'm realizing that I can barely calculate the formula you need to calculate to be allowed to send messages, so this will be my last. . . let's see . . . carry the 3. .. ?
	9:09pm Rakim: I wanna be paid in full.
	9:10pm Gary: I just read her sentence: "A look at Keith Richards' face is enough to provoke an existential crisis at a bookstore."
	9:12pm Gary: Happy New Year, Erik!
	9:14pm Erik B.: You too, man.
	9:18pm northguineahills: UM, nice one!
	9:20pm listener james from westwood: Foam earplugs for sleeping are the bomb and have kept me out of prison.
	9:20pm northguineahills: I used to have a downstairs neighbor whose band would cover Exile on Main Street at all hours non-stop for months.
	9:27pm listener james from westwood: My next door neighbor in sophomore year of college would blast the first Jane's Addiction record each day, it seemed, on his mega speakers.
	9:28pm Gary: That's horrible, NGH. We had a band out in the backyard next to us playing terribly performed death metal. The bass would penetrate the whole apartment.
	9:30pm peter: my neighbours in sunset park would play rammstein's "du hast" at least 4 times in a row every morning, followed by cumbia for the rest of the day
	9:32pm Gary: That's an odd, but oddly compelling, combo, Peter
	9:33pm peter: oh, that's every sunday morning, the lord's day. the cumbia was every day, though
	9:34pm peter: i know! i was into it
	9:35pm Gary: I freaking missed seeing these guys at the beer garden two summers ago
	9:39pm northguineahills: @Gary: To this day, I can't listen to the Stones version.
	9:40pm Gary: NGH, do you like Liz Phair's album?
	9:47pm Holly in NC: @ljfw - Djarums are kinda inexplicable, but then again, so is smoking in general. Chain-smoking defined my life for many years, and I'm not unintelligent or irrational ..so... * my grownup cig = Camel Lights, and then American Spirit Yellows, which I smoked WAY before any hipsters caught on, as a crotchety old school 'scenester' I want credit ;-)
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: I freaking love "Du Hast."
	9:47pm northguineahills: I've missed that, and my college gf listened to Liz Phair non-stop.
	9:49pm northguineahills: I forgot the Last Poets recorded together this late.
	9:56pm Holly in NC: I can sing all of Liz Phair's 1st lp by heart, but haven't put it on my own changer in at least 10 years. But maybe I should - those songs are embedded in my brain for a good reason. Just so disliked everything that followed.
	9:57pm Gary: That album was amazing ... I've heard it in the last couple of months, and it does totally hold up.
	9:58pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for the party, Gary!
	9:59pm listener james from westwood: Holly: I never had any urge for a cigarette, but I often grabbed a cigar when out in Las Vegas. Then none for a long time, then I tried one on my 40th and spent the rest of the day Googling tobacco poisoning and lying in bed. None since!
	10:00pm Uncle Michael: Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for the show, Gary.
	10:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks mightily for the fine shows this year, Gary! A safe and happy 2015 to all!
	10:02pm northguineahills: Ok off to a party. Have a happy New Years Gary, and everyone!
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: A friend of mine wrote the 33 1/3rd on the other Exile.
	10:08pm Gary: Have a great New Year, everyone, and thanks for hanging out!

Listener comments!
	7:00pm ndbob: evening Gary and everyone!
	7:01pm Gary: Welcome to the party, Bob!
	7:06pm northguineahills: I won tickets to see Dizze Rascal from my friend's party raffle the first time he played in NYC. (Where he used a flatbed as a stage). To say the least, I totally spaced on the date and forgot to go.
	7:07pm ndbob: heya NGH!
	7:07pm Gary: Oh, man, NGH ...
	7:09pm northguineahills: hellos, ndbob & Gary!
	7:14pm glenn: dyslexics untie!
	7:15pm Gary: Nnleg!
	7:17pm listener james from westwood: Good evening, Gary and all!!
	7:17pm ndbob: hello Glenn!
	7:18pm Gary: James!
	7:18pm Gary: Nice to see you guys here -- I had no idea if anyone would show up on New Year's Eve
	7:19pm ndbob: Heya James!
	7:20pm Doug Schulkind: Happy gnu ears, Gary! Happy gnu ears, everyone!
	7:21pm steve: hey folks
	7:21pm Gary: Doug! Steve! It's all gnu to me!
	7:22pm listener james from westwood: Workdays all this week, but going to lunch w friends tomorrow. Midweek NYEs are tough amid freelancing. Work, then eat, then read & listen to the stream.
	7:22pm Gary: Discovered this crazy robotic sub-genre / collective, PC Music, via: digthattreasure.blogspot.com
	7:23pm Gary: Also, not sure it's obvious, but GFOTY = Girlfriend of the Year
	7:25pm steve: "Palette" by Tielsie on PC Music was one of my fav tracks this year. very intriguing label.
	7:26pm listener james from westwood: Didn't know GFOTY, but I am approximately as hip as a rock.
	7:32pm listener james from westwood: Oooooh, that sax bit behind NWA during the intro = the one used in "Bring the Noise"?
	7:33pm Gary: Sounds like it, yeah!
	7:36pm listener james from westwood: Aaaaaand Dr. Google sez yes! They also share a bit o "Funky Drummer," the Henrietta Lacks cell of hip-hop.
	7:38pm glenn: hey guys. i like to think of it as boring new year.
	7:39pm glenn: or to quote jackie gleason - "new years eve is for amateurs".
	7:39pm Gary: Just finished Greg Milner's Perfecting Sound Forever: An Aural History of Recorded Music ... great section on Public Enemy near the end of the book
	7:40pm Holly in NC: Happy New Year, Gary & all! @ljfw - +1000000000000 for Henrietta Lacks reference :-)
	7:41pm Doug Schulkind: That GFOTY sounded kinda Die Antwoordish.
	7:42pm Gary: Holly!
	7:43pm Gary: I need to check out Die Antwoord ... I can't remember if I've DLed / listened to anything yet
	7:43pm Holly in NC: Die Antwoord videos make me feel very unclean. Which I suppose is the intent.
	🇰🇷 7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary Sullivan - Truth to Power !
	7:44pm Gary: Rev Rab!
	7:44pm Ike: Hello! I'm just stopping in for a few minutes to feed the cat. Good to see all of you here.
	7:46pm Gary: Bonsoir, Ike!
	7:46pm Gary: Pet kitty for all of us!
	7:49pm Holly in NC: NYC po-pos need to be fired, en masse, and Mayor needs to grow a pair. In contrast, Nashville Police Chief is really quite amazing & very eloquent: www.tennessean.com...
	7:50pm Doug Schulkind: It confounds me that Die Antwoord hasn't received more air play on FMU. On the other hand, I dig them, but have never played a single track. I guess that's what 2015 is for.
	7:50pm Gary: I saw that Nashville guy via FB, yeah. And yes, everyone who turned should just be ... turned out.
	7:50pm glenn: while i'm pretty much pro union, i would throw the police union head dudes off the space shuttle in a heartbeat.
	7:52pm glenn: space station, i should say.
	7:53pm steve: Holly - that letter is so good i couldn't even believe it was real at first.
	7:54pm ndbob: amazing and eloquent is right Holly - tho I think everyone here is overreacting to what admittedly were some seriously unprofessional NYPD actions
	7:55pm steve: agreed re: DeBlasio, even Giuliani was on TV over the weekend saying the PBA spokeman a hole and the cops turning their backs on him crossed a line.
	7:56pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Holly! Rebecca Skloot's book on the topic was a gem.
	7:56pm ndbob: firing everyone who behaved terribly won't solve the problem
	7:57pm peter: hey gary! i just today finished "sea of poppies" by amitav ghosh, which i loved, so that's my recommendation!
	7:59pm ndbob: I need to go excellent hour Gary - happy New Year everyone!
	8:00pm Holly in NC: @steve - Yes. Glad you share my reaction. @ndbob - I very respectfully disagree re overreaction, I am seriously worried that NYPD is well on the way to forming its own army. But I should've been more clear, I think the Union head(s) s/b fired immediately, all others s/b retrained & get a second chance before firing. @ljfw - Ms. Skloot's book is one of the best, maybe the best, "pop sci" non-fiction books I've ever read. I've read it 3 times! Hate agreeing w. Oprah, but hey ;-)
	8:01pm Gary: Peter! So nice to see you!
	8:01pm Gary: Have a great night, Bob! And have a terrific year moving forward!
	8:02pm ndbob: @Holly Well I certainly would agree with the retraining
	8:02pm steve: Gary sorry ive been coming and going... are you looking for specific book genres?
	8:03pm Gary: No specific genres -- just anything interesting
	8:04pm Gary: I almost never read contemporary fiction, tho -- unless it's been translated from another language.
	8:04pm glenn: us conductors, by sean michaels.
	8:05pm peter: glad to be here, gary! got off work just in time. oh! another great recent read was "aloha america: hula circuits through the u.s. empire" by adria l. amada
	8:08pm ?: Gary, Erik B. out here in the north woods! Happy New Year!
	8:08pm Gary: Hula circuits?
	8:08pm Stanley: Live at the Bodega. Hi Gary, Happy New Year from Edinburgh
	8:08pm Gary: Erik!!!! So great to see you!
	8:08pm Holly in NC: Dear lord I love Valley of the Jeep beats, what a classic
	8:08pm Gary: Stanley! Howdy Howdy Howdy!
	8:09pm steve: best books this master dilettante read this year (that I can remember): Fiction: The Stench of Honolulu by Jack Handey A Wild Sheep Chase by Murakami Bleeding Edge by Thomas Pynchon Bio: Life After Death by Damien Echols Dishwasher by Pete Jordan Harpo Speaks! by Harpo Marx Science: Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik You Are Now Less Dumb by McRaney Other: What We See When We Read by Peter Mendelsund
	🇰🇷 8:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If you haven't, everybody here should should read 'This is Your Brain on Music' by Daniel Levitin @ some point. He's both a neuro-scientist & a music producer. Thx for tip on 'Perfecting Sound Forever' !
	8:11pm ?: God, I remember seeing PE in about 1990 in Minneapolis. There was a guy standing next to me who thought he was "so cool." Turned out to be Prince!
	8:11pm Gary: You guys are totally coming through for me ... !
	8:11pm steve: oh duh also the new Oliver Sachs book Hallucinations (the Levitin mention reminded me)
	8:12pm Gary: Holy shit - seriously, Erik? Xtreme jealousy!
	8:14pm Stanley: Gary, have you read 'The Music in My Head' by Mark Hudson? One man losing it in the music scene in Dakar. Recommended.
	8:15pm Doug Schulkind: I got a bio of Eugene Debs for Xmas.
	8:15pm Gary: I haven't read that one, Stanley -- will definitely check it out
	8:15pm ?: Gary, totally true. Then, at the same PE show, I turned to my right. . . Garrison Keillor!
	8:16pm Holly in NC: @steve - thank you for recommending Damien Echol's book. I've followed the WM3 since initial doc and firmly believe they're not any of them guilty, but was worried Damien's book might be a cash grab. Now I'll check it out. Apparently crazy stepfather exonerated also, but wtf? And again: anyone here fallen into the Serial rabbit hole?
	8:16pm Gary: Ha ha
	8:16pm Gary: I've downloaded Serial, but haven't yet listened ...
	8:17pm Holly in NC: @? - PE concert, Prince to your left, Garrison Keillor to your right - NOONE could ever make that up. You win best story, forever!
	8:20pm steve: Life After Death is one of the top 5 best bios ive ever read (and i love bios and memoirs). HOWEVER the followup (whose name I can't remember.. Yours For Eternity i think its called?) which is a collection of love letters between Damien and his future wife, is, arguably, a cash grab, and while emotionally powerful definitely did not make my best of list...
	8:24pm listener james from westwood: I enjoyed Roxane Gay's "Bad Feminist" & Charles Blow's memoir, "Fire Shut Up in My Bones." Also Penny Red's "Unspeakable Things." Mostly nonfiction and essays this year.
	8:27pm listener james from westwood: I've got about 8 library books to start 2015 off with, incl. 2 on life in Victorian London and/or England by the same author. The fact that my job is essentially all reading (editing or proofing) does take up a bit of my leisure reading, but I hope to read more for myself next year (~25 leisure books in 24).
	8:28pm Holly in NC: ooh steel pan drums yes yes! GARY! Your wonderful girlfriend, sister & Mom are probably pushing same or similar, but this I guarantee - if not helpful, you need to go see a medical professional stat: - slug of whiskey, scotch, rum, or bourbon - huge squeeze of lemon - big glug of honey - lg pinch cayenne - lg coin fresh ginger, bruised, or a shitstorm of dried - mix with water to fill vessel of choice, heat or nuke - top up with more (fresh) booze, honey, lemon & cayenne Drink. IF not leaving house, repeat. Sleep, for at least 8 hours. Call in all love & favors to allow you to sleep for 8 hours. xoxox
	8:30pm Gary: Thank you for that, Holly! I used to make a sort of cayenne, ginger and one other ingredient that I've forgotten "espresso" by boiling the 3 down in water until it was almost too thick to drink.
	8:34pm northguineahills: @Holly, that sounds like an amazing cocktail I'd drink, sick or not.
	8:34pm Uncle Michael: I'm late. I apologize.
	8:35pm Gary: Tio Miguel!
	8:36pm Uncle Michael: Been listening for over an hour but I was working on my show and maintaining focus.
	8:36pm Doug Schulkind: Remember when international rap was basically MC Solaar and a few others.
	8:38pm ?: Oh, and Holly. . . guess who was behind me. . . Jesse Ventura!!!
	8:38pm Gary: I'm waiting for the hipster labels to start compiling international hip hop collections the way they do now for psych and garage
	8:39pm Holly in NC: Bad me, I forget that way before The Roots were mainstream, they were (& still are) pretty dang awesome. NO denying this song. Thank you, Gary! (Mom mode) - go make that drink! @ngh - it's wonderful, but not a cocktail. If made & used appropriately, you will go to bed, and sleep hard... and Gary sounds so awful he might need 2! ;-)
	8:39pm peter: just stumbled across this.. of interest maybe? http://www.myanmarmp3.net/en/albums/pull/1436/best-of-2014
	8:39pm Gary: Erik, you're lying!
	8:39pm Gary: Of definite interest, Peter!
	8:39pm Holly in NC: @? -OK, now I want proof. No way, ;-)
	8:40pm ?: But the Prince part was true
	8:41pm Gary: Erik, the closest I ever got to Prince was being blocked by his wedding procession (cars) as I was on my way to my job at Legal Aid.
	8:42pm ?: He does that all the time to legal aid employees.
	8:44pm ?: How come everyone else's name shows up, but I show up as a question mark? "Damnit I'm a MAN!" - Bob Segar
	8:45pm Gary: You gotta type your name in the "Name: " field
	8:45pm Uncle Michael: It's a mysterian.
	8:46pm Holly in NC: @? - new best comment tonight. Wish I could share w my Legal Aid friends. Also, @? -who are you?
	8:46pm your name: like this?
	8:46pm it's easy.: join the crowd.
	8:48pm My name is Erik B.: Oh, I thought if I entered my name, I'd get identity thefted up the ying yang.
	8:50pm 20 Benson & Hedges: You can get away with all sorts of crazy names online these days. Luckily, nobody's checking up on us.
	8:50pm would we do that?: never.
	8:52pm yeah, fuck all the checkers up.: crazy? whatchoo mean, willis?
	8:53pm northguineahills: I have it easy. My wife has just has one sister in Monterrey, and my two brothers in Orlando share the same DNA.
	9:01pm Holly in NC: @20 Benson & Hedges: I smoked, A LOT for many years. A LOT. Anyway, when I first started, after going through the usual teenage gateway Marlboro/Newport/More cigs, and a flirtation with Players, for an embarrassingly long time was all about "Benson & Hedges Ultra Light Menthol 100s" because yes, they existed, and what fun to say! I was such an idiot.
	9:02pm listener james from westwood: Kicking ass at the 2-hour mark, Gary!
	9:02pm Gary: Grazie, James!
	9:03pm davex: Checking in late tonight, Gary. Happy new year everyone - three hours in over here.
	9:03pm Holly in NC: Happy New Year & much love, Gary. Feel better soon! You will if you make that suggested Hot Toddy :-) xo
	9:03pm Gary: Happy New Year, Dave!
	9:04pm Gary: Thanks, Holly! I'll try for a modified version using what I've got in the cupboards!
	9:04pm Gary: And Happy New Year to you as well!
	9:05pm Erik B.: Gary, don't forget about the theory where you drink your own urine and it somehow has an antibiotic effect. . . or something.
	9:06pm listener james from westwood: Holly, B
	9:07pm Gary: Eww! Hey, how is Bonny doing?
	9:08pm Erik B.: She's excellent. Great show.
	9:09pm listener james from westwood: Dammit, the mobile app ate my comment. My maternal grandparents' nail of choice was Benson & Hedges. Their daughter preferred More Menthol by the time I was on the scene. Dad, Pall Mall until he made the superhuman decision to quit cold turkey in 1980. Friends of mine favor(ed) Marlboro reds, Dunghills, or, inexplicably, Djarums.
	9:09pm Erik B.: I'm realizing that I can barely calculate the formula you need to calculate to be allowed to send messages, so this will be my last. . . let's see . . . carry the 3. .. ?
	9:09pm Rakim: I wanna be paid in full.
	9:10pm Gary: I just read her sentence: "A look at Keith Richards' face is enough to provoke an existential crisis at a bookstore."
	9:12pm Gary: Happy New Year, Erik!
	9:14pm Erik B.: You too, man.
	9:18pm northguineahills: UM, nice one!
	9:20pm listener james from westwood: Foam earplugs for sleeping are the bomb and have kept me out of prison.
	9:20pm northguineahills: I used to have a downstairs neighbor whose band would cover Exile on Main Street at all hours non-stop for months.
	9:27pm listener james from westwood: My next door neighbor in sophomore year of college would blast the first Jane's Addiction record each day, it seemed, on his mega speakers.
	9:28pm Gary: That's horrible, NGH. We had a band out in the backyard next to us playing terribly performed death metal. The bass would penetrate the whole apartment.
	9:30pm peter: my neighbours in sunset park would play rammstein's "du hast" at least 4 times in a row every morning, followed by cumbia for the rest of the day
	9:32pm Gary: That's an odd, but oddly compelling, combo, Peter
	9:33pm peter: oh, that's every sunday morning, the lord's day. the cumbia was every day, though
	9:34pm peter: i know! i was into it
	9:35pm Gary: I freaking missed seeing these guys at the beer garden two summers ago
	9:39pm northguineahills: @Gary: To this day, I can't listen to the Stones version.
	9:40pm Gary: NGH, do you like Liz Phair's album?
	9:47pm Holly in NC: @ljfw - Djarums are kinda inexplicable, but then again, so is smoking in general. Chain-smoking defined my life for many years, and I'm not unintelligent or irrational ..so... * my grownup cig = Camel Lights, and then American Spirit Yellows, which I smoked WAY before any hipsters caught on, as a crotchety old school 'scenester' I want credit ;-)
	9:47pm Uncle Michael: I freaking love "Du Hast."
	9:47pm northguineahills: I've missed that, and my college gf listened to Liz Phair non-stop.
	9:49pm northguineahills: I forgot the Last Poets recorded together this late.
	9:56pm Holly in NC: I can sing all of Liz Phair's 1st lp by heart, but haven't put it on my own changer in at least 10 years. But maybe I should - those songs are embedded in my brain for a good reason. Just so disliked everything that followed.
	9:57pm Gary: That album was amazing ... I've heard it in the last couple of months, and it does totally hold up.
	9:58pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks for the party, Gary!
	9:59pm listener james from westwood: Holly: I never had any urge for a cigarette, but I often grabbed a cigar when out in Las Vegas. Then none for a long time, then I tried one on my 40th and spent the rest of the day Googling tobacco poisoning and lying in bed. None since!
	10:00pm Uncle Michael: Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for the show, Gary.
	10:00pm listener james from westwood: Thanks mightily for the fine shows this year, Gary! A safe and happy 2015 to all!
	10:02pm northguineahills: Ok off to a party. Have a happy New Years Gary, and everyone!
	10:02pm Uncle Michael: A friend of mine wrote the 33 1/3rd on the other Exile.
	10:08pm Gary: Have a great New Year, everyone, and thanks for hanging out!
