	12:02am Alejandroool: this is delightful
	♥ 12:03am coelacanth: i second that^ hi Jesse and others
	12:04am KP: Three, two, one ... Jesse!
	12:05am Alejandroool: heya coela, Jesse, Bowie fans of varying degrees, monday nighters...
	12:07am MONEYBAG$: great soundtrack for eating cookies at bedtime
	12:08am Alejandroool: Bedcrumbs
	12:08am daveB from Oakland: Hello, this Bill Frisell is lovely
	♥ 12:09am coelacanth: hey, A! i haven't been asleep in 40 hours and i may not sleep tonight but i hope so so if i disappear i have a reasonable reason.
	12:09am clontle: Is scharpling on tomorrow?
	12:10am Alejandroool: 40 hrs. damn... I always feel pretty squirrel-y if that happens
	12:13am MONEYBAG$: scharpling moved to sunday 3-6 AM
	12:15am Matt: Pretty far out.
	♥ 12:16am coelacanth: yeah it's not great. ...it's Bowie's fault! i was close to getting to bed when i got the word. and,worse- i was nursing a hangover all day yesterday after not enough sleep the night before. (WAH!) ...if you'd asked me a week ago how i'd be affected when David Bowie dies, i would not have suspected it to be this profound.
	12:18am Alejandroool: ouch, haven't slept well in a couple days now, look forward to demain's un-disturbable day.
	♥ 12:18am coelacanth: $BAGS- and he changed his/her name; and his/her show is good.
	12:19am Alejandroool: I was never a hardcore Bowie fan like some people. but he definitely left his mark in important ways
	12:19am MONEYBAG$: I was up 2 hours past my bedtime when Therese broke the news, then I couldn't sleep
	♥ 12:20am jj.: i am by no means a bowie hardcore, just a casual lover. wasn't expecting to be slammed by his death, but i was, and am.
	12:21am Alejandroool: what jj said. listening to the sound of his singing voice when he's really belting it out takes on a whole other feeling now.
	♥ 12:26am coelacanth: Alej - i totally dug albums 3,4,5,&6 then with some reservation until low & heroes, which i loved; then gave him 3 chances and gave up on him with let's dance. ...but now i think i've missed some solid releases here and there.
	12:29am daveB from Oakland: Damn you for doing such a great show, Jesse :) :(
	♥ 12:29am coelacanth: - yeah,and then friday i heard some of his new album and loved it immediately. maybe that has something to do with why i'm hit so hard. i suddenly, after decades of not caring, was psyched about a Bowie album.
	12:31am KUMA: I love this America played with omnichord . Thnx for playing.
	12:34am P-90: The Frowie Show! Sounding good jj!
	12:35am Alejandroool: I am enjoying Blackstar the more times I hear it... so dark-sounding
	12:36am Alejandroool: mean bass+drums
	12:38am Snortley: Seems as if he'd been listening to some Scott Walker.
	♥ 12:47am coelacanth: through all the years of not liking his contrived hit songs on commercial radio,and not liking many of his masks, i still read interviews and such; and i should say- the more i learned the more i respected and liked him...so i was very happy when i heard blackstar and it sounds so honest and pure and passionate, because that's what i always wanted from him- having grown to like him as a person.
	12:48am daveB from Oakland: there was definitely some mutual admiration between Scott Walker and Bowie. Look up "1997 Scott Walker birthday greeting to David Bowie". Bowie gets pretty emotional about it.
	12:52am ?: totally identify with bowie's death hitting you harder than expected - i've always liked and appreciated him and returned to some favorites of mine from him in a comfortable way, but never delved deep into his discography like I did with Lou Reed - but now suddenly I'm hit much harder by his death than I expected, in a distant but very real way - harder than I was by Lou Reed's death, in fact - somehow it seems more impossible that Bowie could die. In retrospect he felt kind of foundational - he's the guest room in my house that I only used occasionally but that allowed an occasional intimacy which I took for granted. Now it's like, when friends visit, they're gonna have to not drink too much and leave by 10pm because that guest room is gone..
	♥ 12:53am jj.: +1 to everything you just said.
	12:59am Moon: Hi Jesse from Oberlin - great show tonight!
	1:00am JakeGould: To me, David Bowie dying was weird because… The man charted his whole career perfectly… He timed and choreographed so much in what he did… And then he not only dies a few days after his last album is released… But also a few days after his birthday? I mean… Shit. That is… Shit. Really? Think about that? That’s like a bricklayer dying after the last brick on a building is laid.
	♥ 1:01am coelacanth: ha! yeah the guest room's gone. what happened, it just popped off the house? right, it seems impossible. ...when i first read the news, my reaction was to think it's a hoax!..a Paul McCartney! ...but,no.
	♥ 1:07am coelacanth: Jake,it's like, "okay,it's done.it sounds good and it's been released. now i may die."
	♥ 1:08am coelacanth: i dig this Yonatan Gat.
	1:08am JakeGould: @coelacanth: Pretty much. That is what “creeps” me out a bit. I’m sad he’s gone but when timing like that happens. Yeesssh. I start to want to look at star charts and such.
	♥ 1:15am coelacanth: i'm open to a lot of things; but the power of the human mind,the mind-body relationship, and the "6th sense", seems to me the most powerful tool we have.
	♥ 1:17am coelacanth: ...but there could be physiological explanations too. ...or he's just as extraordinary as he always seemed!
	1:19am Alejandroool: Unknowable, as this Guardian piece puts it
	1:26am Alejandroool: didn't know the story behind Bowie's eyes... So his friend George Underwood punched him in the eye fighting over a girl, left him with the permanently dilated pupil. they stayed friends and he did the artwork for Ziggy Stardust & Hunky Dory.
	♥ 1:34am coelacanth: ha! it's the least he could do right?!
	1:43am rw: Hey kids. Yeah... weird, right? I like this Elyse W. record. What I've heard of it anyway.
	♥ 1:52am coelacanth: hi rw... okay Jesse radio on-lights off. i've taken valerian,melissa, skulcap,tryptophan,melatonin,magnesium,niacin (etc)...and i still might not sleep; but i might, so now i Thank you. good night everyone. rest in peace David Bowie...or do whatever it is you do at this point- but with peace. ...same to Paul Bley,Otis Clay, etc etc.....
	1:54am Alejandroool: night coela, good luck with the ZZZ's
	1:55am rw: Later coelacanth! Hope you get some rest.
	♥ 1:56am jj.: sweet dreams (hopefully), coelacanth!
	♥ 1:57am coelacanth: Thanks! (if i dont i'll see you on Samantha's playlist!)
	2:08am Alejandroool: I'm out for tonight as well (maybe) ZZZ's until the other side. 24 hrs on the nose now of Bowie's passing.
	2:11am rw: 'night A! It's been a strange 24 hrs.
