Listener comments!
	3:05pm V Priceless: Sonny boy! Hey!
	3:06pm Kurt Gottschalk: PAPA!
	3:07pm still b/p: That image...is that the Left Blank of Paris?
	3:07pm V Priceless: now you run along and do a good show, kid! I'll be a-listenin'!
	3:07pm fleep: Banjo Fury!
	3:07pm Brendan: Love me some strummin banjo with a a flat brim straw hat, suspenders and glass of lemonade
	3:12pm Banjobriath: My cerebral cortex is shriveling.
	3:13pm Banjobriath: My cerebral cortex is shriveling.
	3:14pm Brendan: Id love to hear some goth banjo
	3:16pm V Priceless: or Viking banjo!
	3:16pm Kurt Gottschalk: i'm not sure what a goth banjo'd be, but we got plenty more banjo to come, folks. after that, accordion.
	3:16pm Hot Topic: Gothgrass
	3:17pm Dean: No banjos, but Claw Hammer would fit in nicely, by which I mean they wouldn't.
	3:18pm Brendan: Id like a shiny fiddle made of gold so o could play along
	3:18pm Kurt Gottschalk: i see what you did there, brendan.
	3:20pm Brendan: Porcupine Tree's 'Trains' has a nice banjo break in the middle of it
	3:20pm P-90: Hi Kurt
	3:21pm Brendan: That was awesome Kurt
	3:22pm El Diablo: My strings just made an evil hiss!
	3:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: heh heh, thanks!
	3:24pm glenn: accordion? it IS good friday.
	3:26pm V Priceless: of course, lot of swell banjo on those early Strawbs records. I think Dave Cousins may have been the fastest picker in the UK back then.
	3:29pm Hod: Bela Fleck looked to be the John McLaughlin of the banjo a few years back until he went crab-core.
	3:30pm Dean: Joe's been a heap o' trouble lately, but I think it goes too far to outright ban Joe.
	3:33pm Jeff: I really like the theme song Gangstagrass did for the TV show Justified. When you go poking around in their albums, though, they can be a bit sweary for air.
	3:35pm i k e: Hot dang. FMU can always use more banjo.
	3:36pm rednex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOYZaiDZ7BM
	3:36pm glenn: as much as i'm an advocate for swearies, they get a bit tiresome after a while.
	♥ 3:37pm Caryn: If we're talking banjo, I'll always root for "Journey of the Sorcerer" because 1) it's great, 2) it's the only bearable Eagles track and 3) the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy connection makes it even greater.
	3:40pm Brendan: Thrash Banjo
	3:40pm Howe on Earth: Love this manic progdolin
	♥ 3:41pm Caryn: It's surprising how many banjo covers of Slayer songs there are.
	3:43pm Ryab: IS this the guy from Seabrook Power Plant?
	3:47pm Lady Remington: Harry Razor!
	3:48pm V Priceless: Yay! You're quite welcome, KG! Go get 'em!
	3:51pm Brendan: Im digging the bed music
	3:55pm paula pc: Yasou!
	3:59pm glenn: yasou, omorfi. ti kanis?
	♥ 4:00pm Caryn: Speaking of trash banjo: itunes.apple.com...
	4:14pm Mark: Hey a tribute to Kurt Weill. Well done!
	♥ 4:17pm common: hey kurt and all! i missed vp's thing, dammit!
	4:17pm Kurt Gottschalk: i was thinking "can one song be a tribute?" then i thought, "yes, one song can be a tribute."
	4:27pm V Priceless: hey common! No music was harmed - it was simply a few words of gratitide from my newly-adopted Miniature Minotaur himself! : )
	4:28pm V Priceless: tude...I say..tude, that is!
	♥ 4:30pm Caryn: I missed the start of the show. Has the playlist been adopted yet? I'm asking because I'm unsure whether the "This space has been intentionally left blank" thing is a sign that there's been no adoption yet or an artistic statement.
	4:32pm Kurt Gottschalk: no adoption. sadface. but as you probably sussed, vp adopted me!
	♥ 4:36pm Caryn: I think people are intimidated by the thought of following Minnesota Jeff's stellar gif record.
	♥ 4:36pm common: ah, i see, vp. hey, my boss just called and offered me my shit job back. i turned it down. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
	4:37pm Kurt Gottschalk: you're probably right, caryn. but someone needs to step up and make it their own!
	♥ 4:38pm Caryn: I briefly contemplated adoption, but all my art is in non-digital form, so there goes that. Considering the success of the Marathon gif, I'm kinda hoping Greg will end up as the adopter.
	♥ 4:40pm common: i gotta learn how to make gifs.
	4:42pm Carmichael: Hi Kurt and Friday people. I loves me some banjo. Was listening last night to that strange Seattle band Pretty Green. They have lots of banjo, if you can stand the guy's lead vocal.
	4:48pm P-90: @common: Way to go! Tell the Man where he can stick it! When Kenzo figures out how we can buy each other drinks over this gizmo, I owe you one...
	4:49pm Dean: Damn, missed a ton of good stuff. I heard Holshauser, Bennink & Moore at the Freight around the time of the Ramboy recording. Was splendid.
	♥ 4:51pm common: thanks p-90 and absotutely!
	4:51pm Dean: Gianluigi Trovesi (clarinets) and Gianni Coscia (accordion) is a FANTASTIC accordion record on ECM.
	4:54pm V Priceless: @ common: nice! Woo!
	♥ 4:55pm common: thanks vp!
	4:56pm JakeGould: Hey there folks! Anyone here from the Pacific Northwest? NYC now has all this stupid rain. Please come and take it back.
	4:57pm Dean: California would love your rain.
	4:58pm MenfussMike: play "SHE" ;-)
	4:58pm JakeGould: @Dean: Yeah, sorry to gloat about the rain in NYC. Also the pizza, the women, the music, the city itself… Gloating about it all.
	5:00pm Dean: Gloat away. But the pizza, well, I'm afraid nothing beats the joint i visit in Southern California in unincorporated LA County. It is the antithesis of every species of pizza served these days. Hot out of the oven it's unbeatable.
	♥ 5:02pm Stanley: Nuthin' beatsa pieca pizza
	5:04pm JakeGould: @Dean: Also you have “In and Out” burger. NYC has nothing like that. It’s all either diner burgers, fast food dreck or artisanal overwrought burgers served with something weird… Like tater tots instead of fries…
	5:05pm V Priceless: NYC area also kicks butt in bagel superiority - it's in the wonderful water we get from those flooded towns upstate like Neversink and Bittersweet.
	5:05pm P-90: am I the only one having stream problems via iOS app?
	5:06pm JakeGould: @Stanley: Your Fat Freddy’s cat icon always makes me smile.
	5:06pm Kurt Gottschalk: anyone else have stream problems? ios or otherwise?
	5:07pm V Priceless: stream powerful here on desktop.
	♥ 5:08pm chris: no, all good over here
	5:08pm P-90: In NY we have Shake Shack and a few others in the In-N-Out mode, but none of them are quite as good.
	5:08pm JakeGould: @VPriceless: I’d say the bagels as well, but I am just old enough to remember when they were truly great. Like crusts you could lose a tooth on. Basically big circular pretzels. Ahh, the good old days. Watch this film from the good old days of 1970s bagel making. Note no protective gloves. Also ignore the yammering narrator. www.youtube.com...
	5:09pm Kurt Gottschalk: ok, thanks. always good to let us know if there's problems. our tech people snap to! p-90, if it persists, lemme know.
	♥ 5:10pm chris: P-90, have you killed the iOS app and restarted? Ess-A-Bagel is the shit for bagels in NYC.
	5:10pm JakeGould: @P-90:Yes, “Shake Shack” is the closest to “In-N-Out” but still, that is on the rare/artisanal side. I like them but burger places in California are just so consistently good. In contrast just fast food dreck here.
	♥ 5:11pm Stanley: @Jake - aw that's nice. F. Frederick Skitty is an old pal.
	♥ 5:15pm chris: Jake, if you're ever in the area, check this place out. Its down the road from where I live... www.marinsunfarms.com... Beef, Lamb, Goat, All... oh dear god its good stuff
	5:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	5:19pm JakeGould: @chris: That looks amazing! I live in a part of Brooklyn that is a bit Middle Eastern and I think that if some kid growing up with shawarma would just come up with a decent basic burger but made with like ground shawarma meat that would be killer.
	5:19pm glenn: burger's priest. there is no other.
	♥ 5:20pm Caryn: They say the best NYC bagels are ones actually made in Canada and imported there. I lack the experience to say yea or nay to this.
	♥ 5:20pm chris: mmmm, shawarma burger.... oh yeah...
	5:21pm glenn: my fave canadian presidential hopeful has opened his fool yap agin. www.rawstory.com...
	♥ 5:21pm chris: you can watch the bagels being made at Ess-A-Bagel, Caryn.... mmmm, fresh bagel...
	5:21pm V Priceless: @JakeG: thanks - that was a riot! Now I want a bagel! It also makes me miss hearing my dad say "water's ber-lin' " (he was from Bklyn, obviously). @ Caryn: No way Canada is stealing our bagel thunder - that's a myth.
	5:22pm JakeGould: @Caryn: You mean that “Mile End” place that imports bagels from Montreal? I lived near them and the food is not bad, but not great… Not worth going out of your way for… Especially on the bagel front.
	5:22pm glenn: you are referring to the mighty montreal bagel, as made at fairmount bagel, and taken warm to brooklyn every morning.
	♥ 5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ooo - this is good afterwerk...
	5:23pm glenn: sorry, v. montreal bagels beat new york bagels, hands down.
	5:24pm Kurt Gottschalk: i wouldn't wanna hafta pick a winner but montreal bages are pretty great.
	5:24pm V Priceless: hmm glenn...now I'm curious - where can I score one here in NY for a taste comparison?
	5:24pm Kurt Gottschalk: also i'm not allowed to disagree w/ vp
	♥ 5:25pm Caryn: @glenn: that's the one, glenn!
	5:25pm V Priceless: haha..have we established those parameters yet, Kurt?
	5:25pm glenn: editorial freedom, kurt.
	5:25pm JakeGould: @glenn: Importing bagels from Montreal to NYC is just not right. I still have my memories of real old school NYC bagels so tough to accept imported bagels are good. And yeah, Montreal bagels are good. But still.
	5:26pm JakeGould: @VPriceless: Mile End Deli on Hoyt Street in Boerum Hill. www.yelp.com...
	♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for banjo there's always The Monks...then I got tired of reading Comments...
	5:27pm V Priceless: thanks JG..on mission to score some..will report back with findings.
	♥ 5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...banjos & bagels sounds like a Klezmer party...
	5:29pm glenn: hmmmmm. i may be wrong. i thought there were guys driving bagels to new york. anyway, black seed bagels is apparently the place to go. www.facebook.com...
	5:31pm Kurt Gottschalk: revrab, close? www.discogs.com...
	5:32pm JakeGould: @VPriceless: You can read more about the Montreal versus NYC bagel nontroversy here: www.huffingtonpost.com...
	♥ 5:32pm Caryn: @glenn: there should be, I watched a documentary about the Fairmount bagels a couple of months ago.
	5:32pm glenn: of course, you could always go to montreal, one of the great places in the world, and try one fresh. www.fairmountbagel.com
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hell - bring a banjo - we have fun...
	5:32pm glenn: really? a bagel doc?
	5:33pm PB: Toronto bagels used to be the best, but not anymore.
	5:33pm Dean: I thought Chicago was famous for its big El.
	5:34pm Carmichael: Speaking of legendary craziness, The Motor City Madman chimed in today with his outlook on the world: www.huffingtonpost.com...
	5:36pm V Priceless: interesting, aside from the 'sweet factor', the less doughy, crispy angle of The Montreal variety does sound very nice....
	♥ 5:36pm Caryn: @glenn: well, it was a documentary series focusing on different food-related things. That time it was Fairmount Bagels, and transporting them to NYC daily. I seem to remember someone like Bourdain talking about how superior Montreal bagels were to NYC ones, which pained him.
	5:36pm glenn: i have never had a toronto bagel any where near as goodas anything from montreal. they're too big, and not dense enough.
	5:37pm Carmichael: I think everyone named Ted must be nuts.
	5:38pm JakeGould: Also I think the issue is not just the water, but the flour used in dough nowadays. Unless you go out of your way for better quality flour, every place in NYC nowadays uses sacks of Pillsbury crap. No disrespect to that paunchy little Doughboy, but man… That stuff is like just so close to pure sugar nowadays.
	5:38pm glenn: bourdain's episode on quebecois cuisaine is stellar.
	♥ 5:39pm Caryn: Yeah, and I think one of his eps also dealt with the Montreal bagels.
	5:41pm V Priceless: @ Carm - Nugent is insane. Yikes.
	5:42pm SeanG: Is Frangry drunk yet?
	5:45pm Dean: A chain of Quebecois poutine restaurants just opened its first US store in Berkeley.
	5:47pm PB: glenn, Montreal and Toronto bagels are very different. I guess it depends what you grew up with. I grew up in Toronto but did appreciate the uniqueness of Montreal bagels. Great in their own way.
	5:48pm glenn: i grew up in milton. i never saw a bagel until i moved here.
	5:49pm glenn: toronto, that is.
	♥ 5:51pm Caryn: It's been 17 years since I ate a bagel. I miss them.
	5:51pm glenn: bourdain in montreal. www.dailymotion.com...
	5:55pm glenn: the commentors on that nugent article seem fairly united in their dislike of him.
	5:56pm V Priceless: cool show, Kurt! Thanks!
	5:58pm JakeGould: Adios Kurt! May you always get the baker’s dozen of whatever bagels you prefer!

	♥ 5:11pm Stanley: @Jake - aw that's nice. F. Frederick Skitty is an old pal.
	♥ 5:15pm chris: Jake, if you're ever in the area, check this place out. Its down the road from where I live... www.marinsunfarms.com... Beef, Lamb, Goat, All... oh dear god its good stuff
	5:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	5:19pm JakeGould: @chris: That looks amazing! I live in a part of Brooklyn that is a bit Middle Eastern and I think that if some kid growing up with shawarma would just come up with a decent basic burger but made with like ground shawarma meat that would be killer.
	5:19pm glenn: burger's priest. there is no other.
	♥ 5:20pm Caryn: They say the best NYC bagels are ones actually made in Canada and imported there. I lack the experience to say yea or nay to this.
	♥ 5:20pm chris: mmmm, shawarma burger.... oh yeah...
	5:21pm glenn: my fave canadian presidential hopeful has opened his fool yap agin. www.rawstory.com...
	♥ 5:21pm chris: you can watch the bagels being made at Ess-A-Bagel, Caryn.... mmmm, fresh bagel...
	5:21pm V Priceless: @JakeG: thanks - that was a riot! Now I want a bagel! It also makes me miss hearing my dad say "water's ber-lin' " (he was from Bklyn, obviously). @ Caryn: No way Canada is stealing our bagel thunder - that's a myth.
	5:22pm JakeGould: @Caryn: You mean that “Mile End” place that imports bagels from Montreal? I lived near them and the food is not bad, but not great… Not worth going out of your way for… Especially on the bagel front.
	5:22pm glenn: you are referring to the mighty montreal bagel, as made at fairmount bagel, and taken warm to brooklyn every morning.
	♥ 5:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ooo - this is good afterwerk...
	5:23pm glenn: sorry, v. montreal bagels beat new york bagels, hands down.
	5:24pm Kurt Gottschalk: i wouldn't wanna hafta pick a winner but montreal bages are pretty great.
	5:24pm V Priceless: hmm glenn...now I'm curious - where can I score one here in NY for a taste comparison?
	5:24pm Kurt Gottschalk: also i'm not allowed to disagree w/ vp
	♥ 5:25pm Caryn: @glenn: that's the one, glenn!
	5:25pm V Priceless: haha..have we established those parameters yet, Kurt?
	5:25pm glenn: editorial freedom, kurt.
	5:25pm JakeGould: @glenn: Importing bagels from Montreal to NYC is just not right. I still have my memories of real old school NYC bagels so tough to accept imported bagels are good. And yeah, Montreal bagels are good. But still.
	5:26pm JakeGould: @VPriceless: Mile End Deli on Hoyt Street in Boerum Hill. www.yelp.com...
	♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for banjo there's always The Monks...then I got tired of reading Comments...
	5:27pm V Priceless: thanks JG..on mission to score some..will report back with findings.
	♥ 5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...banjos & bagels sounds like a Klezmer party...
	5:29pm glenn: hmmmmm. i may be wrong. i thought there were guys driving bagels to new york. anyway, black seed bagels is apparently the place to go. www.facebook.com...
	5:31pm Kurt Gottschalk: revrab, close? www.discogs.com...
	5:32pm JakeGould: @VPriceless: You can read more about the Montreal versus NYC bagel nontroversy here: www.huffingtonpost.com...
	♥ 5:32pm Caryn: @glenn: there should be, I watched a documentary about the Fairmount bagels a couple of months ago.
	5:32pm glenn: of course, you could always go to montreal, one of the great places in the world, and try one fresh. www.fairmountbagel.com
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hell - bring a banjo - we have fun...
	5:32pm glenn: really? a bagel doc?
	5:33pm PB: Toronto bagels used to be the best, but not anymore.
	5:33pm Dean: I thought Chicago was famous for its big El.
	5:34pm Carmichael: Speaking of legendary craziness, The Motor City Madman chimed in today with his outlook on the world: www.huffingtonpost.com...
	5:36pm V Priceless: interesting, aside from the 'sweet factor', the less doughy, crispy angle of The Montreal variety does sound very nice....
	♥ 5:36pm Caryn: @glenn: well, it was a documentary series focusing on different food-related things. That time it was Fairmount Bagels, and transporting them to NYC daily. I seem to remember someone like Bourdain talking about how superior Montreal bagels were to NYC ones, which pained him.
	5:36pm glenn: i have never had a toronto bagel any where near as goodas anything from montreal. they're too big, and not dense enough.
	5:37pm Carmichael: I think everyone named Ted must be nuts.
	5:38pm JakeGould: Also I think the issue is not just the water, but the flour used in dough nowadays. Unless you go out of your way for better quality flour, every place in NYC nowadays uses sacks of Pillsbury crap. No disrespect to that paunchy little Doughboy, but man… That stuff is like just so close to pure sugar nowadays.
	5:38pm glenn: bourdain's episode on quebecois cuisaine is stellar.
	♥ 5:39pm Caryn: Yeah, and I think one of his eps also dealt with the Montreal bagels.
	5:41pm V Priceless: @ Carm - Nugent is insane. Yikes.
	5:42pm SeanG: Is Frangry drunk yet?
	5:45pm Dean: A chain of Quebecois poutine restaurants just opened its first US store in Berkeley.
	5:47pm PB: glenn, Montreal and Toronto bagels are very different. I guess it depends what you grew up with. I grew up in Toronto but did appreciate the uniqueness of Montreal bagels. Great in their own way.
	5:48pm glenn: i grew up in milton. i never saw a bagel until i moved here.
	5:49pm glenn: toronto, that is.
	♥ 5:51pm Caryn: It's been 17 years since I ate a bagel. I miss them.
	5:51pm glenn: bourdain in montreal. www.dailymotion.com...
	5:55pm glenn: the commentors on that nugent article seem fairly united in their dislike of him.
	5:56pm V Priceless: cool show, Kurt! Thanks!
	5:58pm JakeGould: Adios Kurt! May you always get the baker’s dozen of whatever bagels you prefer!
