	9:13am Goyim in the AM: Here's that Grindcore/Screamo crossover no-one was waiting for....

	9:15am Cheri Pi: This is pretty tame for th'Nosebleed
	9:16am Michele: Hi Chris. What time is Will Oldham?!
	9:16am Goyim in the AM: They're outta Massachusetts and the lyrics are about pain and I played in a first wave emo band. I know whereof I speak!
	9:17am Chris M.: @Michele: ten
	9:17am Chris M.: @Goyim in the AM: you literally don't.
	9:18am Polyus: This is me screaming at my landlord.
	9:19am Goyim in the AM: I have angered the deejay and will now be subjected to 2 hours of bleeped AC deep cuts.
	9:20am SeanG: Hi Chris M. you sexy beast
	9:22am Cliff: LOL, arguing about metal subgenres, of which I know nothing about
	9:22am Chris M.: hey commenters i'm sorry but i cannot deal with one single piece of negativity today. i absolutely do not want to be here at all. i promise to close the comments down the second you fuck with me. love, chris.
	9:24am Goyim in the AM: I didn't say I didn't like the song!
	9:24am Sue P.: Unfortunately, fucking with you is the only way I know how to express affection so I won't be commenting the remainder of the show.
	9:24am Cliff: Jeeez Chris, a bit cranky aren't we? Didn't take your meds this morning?
	9:26am Cliff: Here, have some of my emergency Xanax.
	9:28am Wild Neil: Peace be unto you, Chris M et al. Have a peaceful morning everybody.
	9:28am goat friend: Hey ding dongs, happy Thursday. Been looking forward to this all week. Thanks!
	9:29am Dave in Vermont on the phone: Oh yes. That was so perfect. I miss this song. Saints.
	9:31am Polyus: This is probably of no interest to anyone outside the Twin Cities area, but Will Oldham is going to be participating in a really cool event called Drone Not Drones on the 26th-27th. A 28-hour uninterrupted drone featuring dozens of performers, raising money for Doctors Without Borders. I think Will is scheduled for Friday night sometime, haven't seen the final list yet.
	9:31am Polyus: www.facebook.com...
	9:32am Pete L: Motorhead to Albert Ayler in one set... A first? Dynamite!
	9:32am DreamCricket: Hey Chris and listeners alike.
	9:32am Cliff: Hey Wild Neil, I am very, very peaceful now that I've popped a couple of my emergency Xanaxes.
	9:32am Wild Neil: This jazz is spooky.
	9:34am Chris from DC: Yay, Agoraphobic Nosebleed. I need to remember to be on time.
	9:38am Wild Neil: @Chris M. Sorry you are having a bad day.
	9:39am Cecile: hola!
	9:40am DreamCricket: I love you Chris, I'm just down the street if you want to go rough some people up!
	9:40am Cecile: Poly, I'll have to check it out. Where is it happening?
	9:40am DreamCricket: We can clobber some fools
	9:40am Flynn: German Dental Work
	9:41am Cecile: Chris M. you are weird and adorable, and I feel nothing but happy toward you right now.
	9:42am Polyus: @Cecile - Cedar Cultural Center.
	9:42am Cecile: Cool, it's on the train and bus. I might have to check it out.
	9:43am Andrew Waterloo: Seems to be a lot of industrial power noise type stuff happening recently. Just waiting for this to bleed into Converter.
	9:43am Cliff: DreamCricket, chilllll ooouuuut maaaaaan. Don't you have any emergency Xanax you could take?
	9:44am DreamCricket: Cliff, no. I used to.
	9:44am Cecile: On a pleasant note, I was in a terrible mood because I could not for the life of me think of what to do for my interactive presentation for InDesign. Then Ronnie James Dio came to me in a dream. And then I knew. I do not shit you. This is going to be so fun to put together.
	9:45am DreamCricket: @Cliff you know any script shrinks?
	9:45am DreamCricket: scripty*
	9:45am Cliff: And I'm a 4-hour drive from Jersey City, if you wanna come over and punch me in the face.
	9:45am Cecile: How about a hot bath, cocoa and listening to the Necks?
	9:45am Polyus: And yes, plenty of people actually bring sleeping bags and crash on the floor. Some will even stay for the entire 28 hours.
	9:45am DreamCricket: @Cliff I'll punch you in the throat
	9:46am DreamCricket: I love you all JKJK
	9:46am DreamCricket: YOU ARE MY PEEPS!
	9:46am Cecile: Wow, that sounds like that 24 hours of music thing Dayton's/Fields used to put on.
	9:47am Marcel M: Morning Chris and all. Tim Hecker is so good.
	9:47am Cliff: Sorry DreamCricket, I was just kidding before about having any Xanax. But I hear you can get Etizolam online pretty easily, you don't even need a prescription in the US cuz it's unscheduled here.
	9:47am Dave in Vermont: great show so far, I wish I could stick around
	9:48am Cliff: Come on over, I live in Syracuse. I got plenty of guns.
	9:48am DreamCricket: Whoa Cliff! Good looks! On it!
	9:49am Cliff: And I'm all benzoed up right now.
	9:49am Brendan: Nice track but yer not gettin me Lucky Charms
	9:49am MD: The band Cream?
	9:50am Cliff: Uh-oh, did I just create another Etizolam addict? That stuff can be a bitch to taper off of, just warning you.
	9:51am MD: Good Morning Freeform Family...Cold this morning on Right Coast(East)!!!
	9:53am Cliff: It only has a 3-hour half-life, so if you start popping it daily and then want to quit you're basically in withdrawals every day. Just giving you a heads-up DreamCricket!
	9:54am Goyim in the AM: It's a good show today -- it usually is -- but you lost a listener today, Chris. Hope you feel better. Bye.
	9:55am SeanG: good riddance
	9:56am Cliff: Yeah, go away, Goyim in the AM, nobody wanted you here anyway you punk. You don't even know your metal subgenres for shit.
	9:56am DreamCricket: I've kicked worse Cliff. But good looks!
	9:56am Wild Neil: What was THAT all about??
	9:57am Cliff: Ok then, good luck DreamCricket!
	9:57am Cecile: Please don't pile on Goyim. Chris is in a bad mood. That doesn't mean everyone else has to be.
	9:58am Flynn: Few years back I went to this drone festival called drone activity in progress over in NYC definitely one of the most insane nights I have ever had
	9:58am Cecile: You don't have to summon an army to defend Chris. He said his piece. Goyim said his. They're moving to opposite corners of the ring, leave them be.
	9:58am Cliff: Oh nothing Wild Neil, just talking about benzos and casual threats of violence because somebody can't tell their grindcore from their sludge metal.
	10:01am Polyus: Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour must have been a whole lot of fun to be on.
	10:03am Wild Neil: I'm tired of human drama...
	10:03am Marcel M: I'm all about dog drama.
	10:05am Cliff: Yeah, who doesn't like a good dog fighting ring, amirite?
	10:05am P-90: Everything OK, Chris?
	10:06am Chris M.: sometimes bands find their music on wfmu archives and may possibly look at your comments. i'm playing their music on the air because it's good music. but genuinely nobody wants to read your negative comments here. save it for your blog.
	10:07am glenn: what in the name of fuck is going on with you folks today?
	10:08am Cliff: But I don't have a blog. WFMU comments are my only outlet.
	10:08am Dåevid: wait a minutes.....this isn't the guy from Gravediggaz
	10:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Dude. Chris M is talking to Will Oldham right now.
	10:09am fekner: Nice live set playing live Will Oldham / Bonnie "Prince" Billy @WFMU on Chris M. show
	10:09am βrian: Somehow I'm reminded of the Far Side cartoon with the flaming Crisis Center on the verge of going over the falls ...
	10:10am Marcel M: @Fekner: Did you mean to tweet that? haha.
	10:10am Cecile: Chris. I appreciate you advocating for the bands, but I'm sure that they know that the comments board doesn't reflect your opinion. It's all good.
	10:11am Cliff: Yeah, get yer social media straight, fekner!
	10:12am Cecile: Mick Turner is a great guitarist. He plays around the sounds.
	10:12am Cecile: Cliff, calm down.
	10:13am Wild Neil: @Chris-I will keep it positive comments about the music only for that very good reason. I don't want to bum any musicians out...music has done so much to make my life brighter and better I don't want to harm that process...
	10:18am Cliff: Cecile, this IS me being calm. As I mentioned before, I'm all benzo-ed up this morning.
	10:18am Marcel M: Woah... This Rick Sabo is really cool.
	10:18am Cecile: WOW. this guy's tone. Unbelievable.
	10:21am Marcel M: I just read about the highly valuable guitar being smashed by mistake. OY!
	10:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Chris M is talking to Will Oldham about Hateful 8.
	10:23am Marcel M: Wait a minute.... Is THIS twitter?!?!?
	10:24am Cliff: Maybe they have some magic plugin that automatically tweets their WFMU comments.
	10:24am Cecile: Merton was a kind of a badass. He combined Catholic theology with eastern religious practices and changed the game.
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: @Marcel: I'm just trying to process this by saying it out loud.
	10:30am Chris from DC: Well said about recording.
	10:30am Lewis: John Lee Hooker says some things along these lines on the Hooker and Heat album talking bout value of giving it all (sort of...)
	10:30am Cecile: It's like keeping a sketchbook. The tape recorder is a sketchbook for musicians.
	10:31am Chris M.: @Greg from ZONE 5: i'm talking to Will Oldham about Jackass 3D
	10:33am Polyus: Oh geez I completely forgot about the Jackass bit. At least he wasn't involved in the Sweatsuit Cocktail.
	10:35am Greg from ZONE 5: If everybody at work doesn't stop talking at or near me, I am going to murder them.
	10:38am Cliff: Hey Greg, just buy yourself some Etizolam online. Jeeeeeez.
	10:39am bill: Didn't the first poolside chat fail to stream, and he bitched about it the whole episode? or was that just a NH bit?
	10:43am Cecile: That sounds awful.
	10:44am Cecile: very culty.
	10:44am Cliff: There are some kooky Buddhist cults out there. Can be hard to find the good teachers, I know from experience.
	10:44am Wild Neil: Glad he "escaped".
	10:47am Cliff: In fact, I eventually gave up on finding a teacher altogether, and now I just meditate on my own every night. It's a lot easier to deal with only my own shit, and not have to also deal with somebody else's creepy authoritarian bullshit.
	10:47am P-90: Whats the Holly Hunter word?
	10:47am Wild Neil: I live in Buffalo!
	10:48am Cliff: Also, the benzos help.
	10:49am bill: My kid had a hard time listening to Beatles' white album on CD. I reminded him it was originally a double album - you didn't listent to the whole thing, you just put on the side you felt like hearing.
	10:49am Devin B.: Great interview! Thanks Chris.
	10:50am Wild Neil: I miss my albums. Gave all 300 to a friend in 1993. Duh.
	10:50am Cecile: I like that the AC/DC reissue CDs have a long pause at the end of the original side ending songs on their albums.
	10:51am Cliff: That's interesting bill, I've had similar problems listening to the White Album all the way through on CD.
	10:53am bill: Cecile, that is a heartwarming nugget of information, thanks
	10:53am Cliff: Yeah, I usually regret giving away my CDs. Can't imagine getting rid of the whole collection at once, wow.
	10:53am Marcel M: That was well done Chris, thanks.
	10:54am Cliff: Nice interview and set, Chris.
	10:54am fekner: good job w/ interview, chris
	10:56am Cliff: Heheh, Prince covering Prince
	10:56am coelacanth: hello Chris and other figments
	10:56am P-90: Lovely, lively chat with Will Oldham, Chris. But what was the word he likes to hear Holly Hunter say?
	10:57am Wild Neil: @Cliff-A friend had convinced me to be a "minimalist"...
	10:57am Opal: that was awesome
	10:58am Marcel M: It sounds like a fuzzed out organ. Hi Opal!
	10:58am Brendan: That was EASy
	10:59am Opal: Hola Marcel!!
	10:59am Rev. Turnip Druid: may i boogie?
	11:00am Marcel M: Damn.. I want this comp.
	11:00am Cliff: Awww jeez. Well I have a several-hundred book collection that I need to cull, went through a buying spree over the past few years and bought lots of books I'm never going to get around reading.
	11:01am Cliff: Hope you bought some more albums since 1993, Wild Neil!
	11:03am Marcel M: Damn this is hot.
	11:04am coelacanth: hmm. records and books. my heaviest anchors.
	11:04am Wild Neil: @Cliff-I put my Pioneeer PL2 Turntable and Pioneer receiver and becker studio monitors out on the curb of 3 Clinton Street back in 1993 or so...duh!!!!
	11:06am Cliff: So you got nuthin now? Online radio is your only source of music?
	11:08am Wild Neil: I got a whole book case full of CDs and a Tivoli Bookshelf system I got at target onsale for $99 'cause it was missing a knob...Tivoli sent me a new knob for free...
	11:08am coelacanth: Cecile @10:50 the "all things must pass" cd has that too, although i wish the pauses were a little longer! ('be nice if there were a little sound of a needle landing as well!)
	11:09am Cliff: Ok, cool. I need to get myself a turntable, I'm starting to get into vinyl. Anybody got any recommendations?
	11:10am Marie: Could this Sluggie be considered "Yacht Rock"? I love that term.
	11:12am bill: Yes cliff, somebody please recommend a good turntable
	11:15am chris: Massive and Manuva! I had no idea. Must go search it out now.
	11:16am Matt: I have a dual cs5000 that I got out of the box about 10 years ago and is still going strong.
	11:17am coelacanth: i know little about what's out there now. i'm using a techniques tt from c.1980; but i wouldn't suggest getting a vintage turntable unless you know you can get or make parts for it.
	11:18am Wild Neil: The advice I used to hear is if you have a low budget get direct drive, if TONS of money belt drive. That may have changed.
	11:19am Cliff: Dual CS 5000's go for about $500 on eBay, a little outta my price range! :)
	11:19am Polyus: I have an 80s Technics 1200. Built like a tank, drop it out a second floor window and it will probably still work.
	11:19am Wild Neil: AND I do not know if variable pitch is really needed, although it used to be useful for "import records of live performances" which might have been recorded too slow or fast.
	11:20am Chris from DC: I got a decent belt-driven Audio Tecnica for $100. My old Kenwood lasted forever.
	11:22am Cecile: Neil, I would say you don't need variable pitch unless you're DJing professionally.
	11:24am Cliff: Hmmm, I see on Amazon an Audio-Technica AT-LP60 for $89.99, belt drive and has a USB output. Sounds more like what I'm looking for
	11:24am P-90: @Wild Neil: pitch adustment (really speed adjustment) is important because household AC voltage varies enough to cause audible shifts in pitch.
	11:24am coelacanth: records WERE,at least, mastered at close to the correct speed usually - as opposed to cd reissues.
	11:25am Polyus: That is pretty much all you need, Cliff. Unless you wanna go down the audiophile rabbit hole, but that will just drive you nuts.
	11:26am Cliff: What's the difference between direct drive and belt drive? Imma a total noob
	11:27am Cliff: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of Polyus, "the audiophile rabbit hole", I've been there with headphones
	11:28am Ken From Hyde Park: New candidate of a band name: Gravity Waves Goodbye!
	11:28am Cecile: Belt drive you adjust the belt to change speed. Direct drive you use a switch.
	11:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Bluh..for a band name.
	11:29am Cecile: and by adjust the belt, at least with the old AR ones, you physically change the setting of the belt.
	11:29am coelacanth: i like pitch control. semi-automatic is good.(so it lifts off the record at the end. i don't care if it returns to the resting spot.) it needs an easy-to-use anti-skate and counter-balance...that's about it. DO NOT get a "record changer".
	11:30am Cliff: What makes one better than the other?
	11:32am Cliff: (Belt-drive vs. direct-drive I mean)
	11:32am coelacanth: i originally (as a teen) bought a belt-driven dual. i figured if i wrecked something by dragging the platter down with the discwasher, i'd rather replace a belt than a motor...but that never happened.
	11:33am bill: remember some double album sides were ordered to be plopped onto a record changer (1-3, 2-4)? good times.
	11:34am coelacanth: i have a direct-drive now and it will never be damaged by using a discwasher. it's very strong (as Polyus @11:19 said)
	11:35am Cecile: Belt drives are quieter. Direct drives are easier to deal with. It's mostly a matter of taste IMO. I liked my old belt drive, but when I got it, it got hard to find replacement belts.
	11:35am Lewis: @bill - it went 1-4 2-3... I have a few of those in the archives...
	11:37am Cecile: Lewis, exactly. And as people started treating their record better, it was 1-2, 3-4.
	11:37am Lewis: I augment the belt by driving with my finger on the inner ring of the disk... I also clean on a soft cloth on my work table before going onto the platter. but i am fussy geek who can get grumpy...
	11:37am βrian: Ah, but what could be more authentic and charming than the sound of discs dropping onto the platter? Loves me my 400-pound stereophonic entertainment center, btw.
	11:37am Cliff: Is it useful to get one that plays 78 RPM, or is 33-1/13 and 45 good enough?
	11:38am bill: lewis by jove youre right!
	11:38am coelacanth: i remember my father stacking 6 albums when i was little! i imagine they might still be listenable now if he hadn't done that. (but he didn't clean his records before each play, so maybe not.)
	11:39am Cliff: 78 RPMs are pretty much only vintage records, right?
	11:40am Polyus: @Brian - those are kind of a thing again. I even know a guy who fixes them up and retrofits them with a jack for your mp3 player.
	11:40am βrian: Nothing lasts forever. Why get fussy? Soon enough we'll all be repurposed as shingles on a chicken coop.
	11:40am bill: cliff, though vinyl and cassettes are all the rage these days, I haven't heard of anybody making new 78s
	11:40am coelacanth: Lewis, i had to do that with my belt-drives. not with the direct-drive. (although a cheap dd might be stopped by it)
	11:40am SeanG: NICE
	11:40am Greg from ZONE 5: HAHA. I was like "Please be Sahm…"
	11:41am Wild Neil: @Cliff yeah, vintage. Belt drive uses a rubber belt and small pulley to drive the platter. Direct drive has a motor co-axial with the platter. Hence "direct", no belt.
	11:41am Cliff: Ok, that'll save me a hundred bucks then :)
	11:43am doctorjazz: Love this Doug Sahm. Late to the party, hi all, haven't gone through all the posts yet.
	11:43am Cliff: I'm looking at the Audio Technica AT-LP60USB for $104, looks like that'll work for m
	11:43am Cliff: *work for me.
	11:44am Greg from ZONE 5: KEEP 'EM COMING
	11:44am Cliff: Thanks for the turntable advice, everyone! I appreciate it.
	11:45am bill: me too, thanks
	11:45am Cliff: doctorjazz, you might want to skip the beginning if you're sensitive to violence and drug abuse.
	11:45am doctorjazz: I see the discussion has been a lot about vinyl/turntables, as a certified audiophile lunatic, I'll put in my $0.02...most of the people who are nuts for sound quality will tell you belt drive is best (not all, but most)
	11:46am Listener Robert: What'd we do THIS time to deserve this?
	11:46am doctorjazz: Rega makes some turntables that, while a bit more expensive than mass market, are not too expensive, and are supposed to be really good sounding. There are others if anyone is interested.
	11:47am doctorjazz: Sorry, I'll stop now (you are at fault for getting me going...)
	11:48am Cliff: What do you think of Audio Technica vs. Rega, doctorjazz?
	11:48am bill: go ahead, doctor
	11:48am Cecile: I'm not an audiophile, but really liked belt drive. However, belt drive wouldn't work at all at a radio station.
	11:48am ?: It's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be EasyIt's Gonna Be Easy
	11:49am Cliff: I'm trying not to go over $200, by the way.
	11:49am Marie: I really love "Is Anyone Going to San Amton'"
	11:49am bill: I have a queasy feeling Sid Haig is going to pop up somehow
	11:50am doctorjazz: I haven't listened to the Audio Technica stuff so it's hard to say anything definitive (they make great headphones, for instance), and I'm sure the AT will do fine, but I'd lean Rega (but, take this as coming from someone that has spend ridiculous amounts of money on gear).
	11:50am Cliff: Does that mean you really, really, really like this song? Heh
	11:50am doctorjazz: Loving the Doug Sahm...
	11:50am KP: Digging the Doug, Chris!
	11:51am Lewis: I am pretty happy with my u-turn audio turntable, and the completely basic model is under 200,but it is very basic.
	11:51am Devin B.: doctorjazz, do you know anything about the project debut carbon or the u-turn orbit?
	11:51am DreamCricket: LET'S GO!! Owwwww!
	11:51am chris: rinse, lather, repeat
	11:51am Devin B.: ha! good timing, lewis.
	11:52am Marie: I have this feeling this song might be channeling some reel (?) feelings...
	11:52am doctorjazz: Pro-Ject makes good stuff, I have a nice phono preamp (don't ask) from them
	11:52am Listener Robert: I went w my friend Nancy (who's in the antiques biz) over a decade ago junk shopping at someone's house. She asked my advice at buying a turntable that was $10, I said, "How could you go wrong?" so she did. We got it to her home. It turned out to be belt-driven, and appeared just to need the belt tightened or replaced, but her boyfriend I think convinced her to throw it out.
	11:52am coelacanth: AT makes decent cartridges, but over-priced. ...and when i contacted them with a "technical" question about a mic cable, they gave me a line of horse shit.
	11:52am Polyus: AT makes a belt drive turntable that also features a USB setup for about $150.
	11:52am Cliff: Cecile, fortunately for me I'm not a radio station ;)
	11:53am bill: In the split screen movie of this show, chris is getting a milkshake from down the street
	11:53am Lewis: I got the external preamp from u-turn. I would probably shop a bit more and get a simple one that has gain on it...
	11:54am doctorjazz: I've reat about the U-turn, also supposed to be good as well.
	11:54am bill: walking along the canal taking pictures
	11:54am Rich in Washington: I'm a human radio station. How about you?
	11:54am Cliff: Polyus, I'm looking at that one, it goes for $104 on Amazon, or $149.95 with some bundled mixing software.
	11:54am Chris M.: oh god
	11:55am coelacanth: considering that i think audiotechnica is over-priced, i wonder about the quality of their inexpensive products. - is that rational?
	11:55am Cliff: Hahaha bill
	11:55am Marshall Stacks: 10 GOTO 10
	11:55am bill: chris, what?
	11:55am coelacanth: Chris i was thinking the same thing.
	11:55am chris: have you locked yourself out of the studio, Chris?
	11:55am marc15: This is the 5h time this song has played. Was that done on purpose?
	11:56am doctorjazz: @coelacanth, you don't know overpriced!!!
	11:56am Rich in Washington: I keep having dreams I step out for a smoke and lock myself out of the station with a record about to end.
	11:56am Polyus: Of course, once you get a turntable, you will wonder if your amplifier sucks. And then you will need a new pair of speakers to really get the best out of it. . .
	11:57am Marie: I love it. I wonder what the record is on WFMU for playing the same song over and over. I think Kenny G did taht for a whole show once.
	11:57am Cliff: Looking forward to Chris's explanation for the situation here.
	11:57am doctorjazz: and you fall into the audiophile rabbit hole...
	11:57am chris: @marc15, its actually a very rare studio session recording... they were all on acid and didn't realize they were doing the same song over and over...
	11:57am bill: marc15, it's all a terrible mistake!
	11:57am Cecile: @ marc - Yep.
	11:58am marc15: Okay, Just wondered. :)
	11:58am ?: come on
	11:58am Wild Neil: Bye Chris. Have a better one.
	11:58am Cliff: This song has played so many times now that I just had to favorite it.
	11:58am chris: thanks, Chris... for the new Massive and Manuva, that is! ;-)
	11:58am Cecile: Marie, I remember it well. He played Chocolate City for three hours the day of Obama's first inauguration. It was great.
	11:58am Polyus: Wait til you get into tubes!
	11:59am coelacanth: i do, but i pay no attention to that shit! my brother-in-law has a $5000.00 amp. which he rarely uses. he listens to sirius in the car, which tells you something about his attention to sound-quality.
	11:59am Listener Robert: Marie, I haven't kept count, but Chris M. might only have tied the # of times he played this one at a stretch last yr.
	11:59am doctorjazz: I'm OK with this loop, actually love the song (but I likely won't have the urge to pull it out for a while...)
	11:59am Cliff: Bye Chris, and thanks again everyone for the turntable advice!
	11:59am BennettCap: It's a good song!!
	12:00pm βrian: Reminds of me of when Ronald Reagan was elected. WCBN found it's theme and stick with it!
	12:00pm Listener Robert: I suspect Chris M. is pissed off, maybe just got some bad news. Let's send positive energy.
	12:01pm βrian: wfmu.org... Charlie, on the Drummer Stream now.
	12:03pm coelacanth: fuck,you're still here?
	12:05pm coelacanth: doctorjazz , over-priced is over-priced. you know fuck-all about what i know.
	2:14pm Cliff: I just reread all of the comments while playing Doug Sahm on repeat. It was great.

Listener comments!
	9:00am Cliff: Good morning Chris, love this cover of Sympathy for the Devil
	9:04am Cheri Pi: WORD
	9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi! Put your imaginary ratings here: www.ratethatdj.com...
	9:05am Cheri Pi: Nice one Ken, I heard that episode of Uncle Andy.
	9:08am Uncle Michael: May I come in?
	9:13am Goyim in the AM: Here's that Grindcore/Screamo crossover no-one was waiting for....
	9:14am Chris M.: @Goyim in the AM: it's neither of those genres. this is sludge metal. go listen to mastodon.
	9:15am Cheri Pi: This is pretty tame for th'Nosebleed
	9:16am Michele: Hi Chris. What time is Will Oldham?!
	9:16am Goyim in the AM: They're outta Massachusetts and the lyrics are about pain and I played in a first wave emo band. I know whereof I speak!
	9:17am Chris M.: @Michele: ten
	9:17am Chris M.: @Goyim in the AM: you literally don't.
	9:18am Polyus: This is me screaming at my landlord.
	9:19am Goyim in the AM: I have angered the deejay and will now be subjected to 2 hours of bleeped AC deep cuts.
	9:20am SeanG: Hi Chris M. you sexy beast
	9:22am Cliff: LOL, arguing about metal subgenres, of which I know nothing about
	9:22am Chris M.: hey commenters i'm sorry but i cannot deal with one single piece of negativity today. i absolutely do not want to be here at all. i promise to close the comments down the second you fuck with me. love, chris.
	9:24am Goyim in the AM: I didn't say I didn't like the song!
	9:24am Sue P.: Unfortunately, fucking with you is the only way I know how to express affection so I won't be commenting the remainder of the show.
	9:24am Cliff: Jeeez Chris, a bit cranky aren't we? Didn't take your meds this morning?
	9:26am Cliff: Here, have some of my emergency Xanax.
	9:28am Wild Neil: Peace be unto you, Chris M et al. Have a peaceful morning everybody.
	9:28am goat friend: Hey ding dongs, happy Thursday. Been looking forward to this all week. Thanks!
	9:29am Dave in Vermont on the phone: Oh yes. That was so perfect. I miss this song. Saints.
	9:31am Polyus: This is probably of no interest to anyone outside the Twin Cities area, but Will Oldham is going to be participating in a really cool event called Drone Not Drones on the 26th-27th. A 28-hour uninterrupted drone featuring dozens of performers, raising money for Doctors Without Borders. I think Will is scheduled for Friday night sometime, haven't seen the final list yet.
	9:31am Polyus: www.facebook.com...
	9:32am Pete L: Motorhead to Albert Ayler in one set... A first? Dynamite!
	9:32am DreamCricket: Hey Chris and listeners alike.
	9:32am Cliff: Hey Wild Neil, I am very, very peaceful now that I've popped a couple of my emergency Xanaxes.
	9:32am Wild Neil: This jazz is spooky.
	9:34am Chris from DC: Yay, Agoraphobic Nosebleed. I need to remember to be on time.
	9:38am Wild Neil: @Chris M. Sorry you are having a bad day.
	9:39am Cecile: hola!
	9:40am DreamCricket: I love you Chris, I'm just down the street if you want to go rough some people up!
	9:40am Cecile: Poly, I'll have to check it out. Where is it happening?
	9:40am DreamCricket: We can clobber some fools
	9:40am Flynn: German Dental Work
	9:41am Cecile: Chris M. you are weird and adorable, and I feel nothing but happy toward you right now.
	9:42am Polyus: @Cecile - Cedar Cultural Center.
	9:42am Cecile: Cool, it's on the train and bus. I might have to check it out.
	9:43am Andrew Waterloo: Seems to be a lot of industrial power noise type stuff happening recently. Just waiting for this to bleed into Converter.
	9:43am Cliff: DreamCricket, chilllll ooouuuut maaaaaan. Don't you have any emergency Xanax you could take?
	9:44am DreamCricket: Cliff, no. I used to.
	9:44am Cecile: On a pleasant note, I was in a terrible mood because I could not for the life of me think of what to do for my interactive presentation for InDesign. Then Ronnie James Dio came to me in a dream. And then I knew. I do not shit you. This is going to be so fun to put together.
	9:45am DreamCricket: @Cliff you know any script shrinks?
	9:45am DreamCricket: scripty*
	9:45am Cliff: And I'm a 4-hour drive from Jersey City, if you wanna come over and punch me in the face.
	9:45am Cecile: How about a hot bath, cocoa and listening to the Necks?
	9:45am Polyus: And yes, plenty of people actually bring sleeping bags and crash on the floor. Some will even stay for the entire 28 hours.
	9:45am DreamCricket: @Cliff I'll punch you in the throat
	9:46am DreamCricket: I love you all JKJK
	9:46am DreamCricket: YOU ARE MY PEEPS!
	9:46am Cecile: Wow, that sounds like that 24 hours of music thing Dayton's/Fields used to put on.
	9:47am Marcel M: Morning Chris and all. Tim Hecker is so good.
	9:47am Cliff: Sorry DreamCricket, I was just kidding before about having any Xanax. But I hear you can get Etizolam online pretty easily, you don't even need a prescription in the US cuz it's unscheduled here.
	9:47am Dave in Vermont: great show so far, I wish I could stick around
	9:48am Cliff: Come on over, I live in Syracuse. I got plenty of guns.
	9:48am DreamCricket: Whoa Cliff! Good looks! On it!
	9:49am Cliff: And I'm all benzoed up right now.
	9:49am Brendan: Nice track but yer not gettin me Lucky Charms
	9:49am MD: The band Cream?
	9:50am Cliff: Uh-oh, did I just create another Etizolam addict? That stuff can be a bitch to taper off of, just warning you.
	9:51am MD: Good Morning Freeform Family...Cold this morning on Right Coast(East)!!!
	9:53am Cliff: It only has a 3-hour half-life, so if you start popping it daily and then want to quit you're basically in withdrawals every day. Just giving you a heads-up DreamCricket!
	9:54am Goyim in the AM: It's a good show today -- it usually is -- but you lost a listener today, Chris. Hope you feel better. Bye.
	9:55am SeanG: good riddance
	9:56am Cliff: Yeah, go away, Goyim in the AM, nobody wanted you here anyway you punk. You don't even know your metal subgenres for shit.
	9:56am DreamCricket: I've kicked worse Cliff. But good looks!
	9:56am Wild Neil: What was THAT all about??
	9:57am Cliff: Ok then, good luck DreamCricket!
	9:57am Cecile: Please don't pile on Goyim. Chris is in a bad mood. That doesn't mean everyone else has to be.
	9:58am Flynn: Few years back I went to this drone festival called drone activity in progress over in NYC definitely one of the most insane nights I have ever had
	9:58am Cecile: You don't have to summon an army to defend Chris. He said his piece. Goyim said his. They're moving to opposite corners of the ring, leave them be.
	9:58am Cliff: Oh nothing Wild Neil, just talking about benzos and casual threats of violence because somebody can't tell their grindcore from their sludge metal.
	10:01am Polyus: Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour must have been a whole lot of fun to be on.
	10:03am Wild Neil: I'm tired of human drama...
	10:03am Marcel M: I'm all about dog drama.
	10:05am Cliff: Yeah, who doesn't like a good dog fighting ring, amirite?
	10:05am P-90: Everything OK, Chris?
	10:06am Chris M.: sometimes bands find their music on wfmu archives and may possibly look at your comments. i'm playing their music on the air because it's good music. but genuinely nobody wants to read your negative comments here. save it for your blog.
	10:07am glenn: what in the name of fuck is going on with you folks today?
	10:08am Cliff: But I don't have a blog. WFMU comments are my only outlet.
	10:08am Dåevid: wait a minutes.....this isn't the guy from Gravediggaz
	10:09am Greg from ZONE 5: Dude. Chris M is talking to Will Oldham right now.
	10:09am fekner: Nice live set playing live Will Oldham / Bonnie "Prince" Billy @WFMU on Chris M. show
	10:09am βrian: Somehow I'm reminded of the Far Side cartoon with the flaming Crisis Center on the verge of going over the falls ...
	10:10am Marcel M: @Fekner: Did you mean to tweet that? haha.
	10:10am Cecile: Chris. I appreciate you advocating for the bands, but I'm sure that they know that the comments board doesn't reflect your opinion. It's all good.
	10:11am Cliff: Yeah, get yer social media straight, fekner!
	10:12am Cecile: Mick Turner is a great guitarist. He plays around the sounds.
	10:12am Cecile: Cliff, calm down.
	10:13am Wild Neil: @Chris-I will keep it positive comments about the music only for that very good reason. I don't want to bum any musicians out...music has done so much to make my life brighter and better I don't want to harm that process...
	10:18am Cliff: Cecile, this IS me being calm. As I mentioned before, I'm all benzo-ed up this morning.
	10:18am Marcel M: Woah... This Rick Sabo is really cool.
	10:18am Cecile: WOW. this guy's tone. Unbelievable.
	10:21am Marcel M: I just read about the highly valuable guitar being smashed by mistake. OY!
	10:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Chris M is talking to Will Oldham about Hateful 8.
	10:23am Marcel M: Wait a minute.... Is THIS twitter?!?!?
	10:24am Cliff: Maybe they have some magic plugin that automatically tweets their WFMU comments.
	10:24am Cecile: Merton was a kind of a badass. He combined Catholic theology with eastern religious practices and changed the game.
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: @Marcel: I'm just trying to process this by saying it out loud.
	10:30am Chris from DC: Well said about recording.
	10:30am Lewis: John Lee Hooker says some things along these lines on the Hooker and Heat album talking bout value of giving it all (sort of...)
	10:30am Cecile: It's like keeping a sketchbook. The tape recorder is a sketchbook for musicians.
	10:31am Chris M.: @Greg from ZONE 5: i'm talking to Will Oldham about Jackass 3D
	10:33am Polyus: Oh geez I completely forgot about the Jackass bit. At least he wasn't involved in the Sweatsuit Cocktail.
	10:35am Greg from ZONE 5: If everybody at work doesn't stop talking at or near me, I am going to murder them.
	10:38am Cliff: Hey Greg, just buy yourself some Etizolam online. Jeeeeeez.
	10:39am bill: Didn't the first poolside chat fail to stream, and he bitched about it the whole episode? or was that just a NH bit?
	10:43am Cecile: That sounds awful.
	10:44am Cecile: very culty.
	10:44am Cliff: There are some kooky Buddhist cults out there. Can be hard to find the good teachers, I know from experience.
	10:44am Wild Neil: Glad he "escaped".
	10:47am Cliff: In fact, I eventually gave up on finding a teacher altogether, and now I just meditate on my own every night. It's a lot easier to deal with only my own shit, and not have to also deal with somebody else's creepy authoritarian bullshit.
	10:47am P-90: Whats the Holly Hunter word?
	10:47am Wild Neil: I live in Buffalo!
	10:48am Cliff: Also, the benzos help.
	10:49am bill: My kid had a hard time listening to Beatles' white album on CD. I reminded him it was originally a double album - you didn't listent to the whole thing, you just put on the side you felt like hearing.
	10:49am Devin B.: Great interview! Thanks Chris.
	10:50am Wild Neil: I miss my albums. Gave all 300 to a friend in 1993. Duh.
	10:50am Cecile: I like that the AC/DC reissue CDs have a long pause at the end of the original side ending songs on their albums.
	10:51am Cliff: That's interesting bill, I've had similar problems listening to the White Album all the way through on CD.
	10:53am bill: Cecile, that is a heartwarming nugget of information, thanks
	10:53am Cliff: Yeah, I usually regret giving away my CDs. Can't imagine getting rid of the whole collection at once, wow.
	10:53am Marcel M: That was well done Chris, thanks.
	10:54am Cliff: Nice interview and set, Chris.
	10:54am fekner: good job w/ interview, chris
	10:56am Cliff: Heheh, Prince covering Prince
	10:56am coelacanth: hello Chris and other figments
	10:56am P-90: Lovely, lively chat with Will Oldham, Chris. But what was the word he likes to hear Holly Hunter say?
	10:57am Wild Neil: @Cliff-A friend had convinced me to be a "minimalist"...
	10:57am Opal: that was awesome
	10:58am Marcel M: It sounds like a fuzzed out organ. Hi Opal!
	10:58am Brendan: That was EASy
	10:59am Opal: Hola Marcel!!
	10:59am Rev. Turnip Druid: may i boogie?
	11:00am Marcel M: Damn.. I want this comp.
	11:00am Cliff: Awww jeez. Well I have a several-hundred book collection that I need to cull, went through a buying spree over the past few years and bought lots of books I'm never going to get around reading.
	11:01am Cliff: Hope you bought some more albums since 1993, Wild Neil!
	11:03am Marcel M: Damn this is hot.
	11:04am coelacanth: hmm. records and books. my heaviest anchors.
	11:04am Wild Neil: @Cliff-I put my Pioneeer PL2 Turntable and Pioneer receiver and becker studio monitors out on the curb of 3 Clinton Street back in 1993 or so...duh!!!!
	11:06am Cliff: So you got nuthin now? Online radio is your only source of music?
	11:08am Wild Neil: I got a whole book case full of CDs and a Tivoli Bookshelf system I got at target onsale for $99 'cause it was missing a knob...Tivoli sent me a new knob for free...
	11:08am coelacanth: Cecile @10:50 the "all things must pass" cd has that too, although i wish the pauses were a little longer! ('be nice if there were a little sound of a needle landing as well!)
	11:09am Cliff: Ok, cool. I need to get myself a turntable, I'm starting to get into vinyl. Anybody got any recommendations?
	11:10am Marie: Could this Sluggie be considered "Yacht Rock"? I love that term.
	11:12am bill: Yes cliff, somebody please recommend a good turntable
	11:15am chris: Massive and Manuva! I had no idea. Must go search it out now.
	11:16am Matt: I have a dual cs5000 that I got out of the box about 10 years ago and is still going strong.
	11:17am coelacanth: i know little about what's out there now. i'm using a techniques tt from c.1980; but i wouldn't suggest getting a vintage turntable unless you know you can get or make parts for it.
	11:18am Wild Neil: The advice I used to hear is if you have a low budget get direct drive, if TONS of money belt drive. That may have changed.
	11:19am Cliff: Dual CS 5000's go for about $500 on eBay, a little outta my price range! :)
	11:19am Polyus: I have an 80s Technics 1200. Built like a tank, drop it out a second floor window and it will probably still work.
	11:19am Wild Neil: AND I do not know if variable pitch is really needed, although it used to be useful for "import records of live performances" which might have been recorded too slow or fast.
	11:20am Chris from DC: I got a decent belt-driven Audio Tecnica for $100. My old Kenwood lasted forever.
	11:22am Cecile: Neil, I would say you don't need variable pitch unless you're DJing professionally.
	11:24am Cliff: Hmmm, I see on Amazon an Audio-Technica AT-LP60 for $89.99, belt drive and has a USB output. Sounds more like what I'm looking for
	11:24am P-90: @Wild Neil: pitch adustment (really speed adjustment) is important because household AC voltage varies enough to cause audible shifts in pitch.
	11:24am coelacanth: records WERE,at least, mastered at close to the correct speed usually - as opposed to cd reissues.
	11:25am Polyus: That is pretty much all you need, Cliff. Unless you wanna go down the audiophile rabbit hole, but that will just drive you nuts.
	11:26am Cliff: What's the difference between direct drive and belt drive? Imma a total noob
	11:27am Cliff: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of Polyus, "the audiophile rabbit hole", I've been there with headphones
	11:28am Ken From Hyde Park: New candidate of a band name: Gravity Waves Goodbye!
	11:28am Cecile: Belt drive you adjust the belt to change speed. Direct drive you use a switch.
	11:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Bluh..for a band name.
	11:29am Cecile: and by adjust the belt, at least with the old AR ones, you physically change the setting of the belt.
	11:29am coelacanth: i like pitch control. semi-automatic is good.(so it lifts off the record at the end. i don't care if it returns to the resting spot.) it needs an easy-to-use anti-skate and counter-balance...that's about it. DO NOT get a "record changer".
	11:30am Cliff: What makes one better than the other?
	11:32am Cliff: (Belt-drive vs. direct-drive I mean)
	11:32am coelacanth: i originally (as a teen) bought a belt-driven dual. i figured if i wrecked something by dragging the platter down with the discwasher, i'd rather replace a belt than a motor...but that never happened.
	11:33am bill: remember some double album sides were ordered to be plopped onto a record changer (1-3, 2-4)? good times.
	11:34am coelacanth: i have a direct-drive now and it will never be damaged by using a discwasher. it's very strong (as Polyus @11:19 said)
	11:35am Cecile: Belt drives are quieter. Direct drives are easier to deal with. It's mostly a matter of taste IMO. I liked my old belt drive, but when I got it, it got hard to find replacement belts.
	11:35am Lewis: @bill - it went 1-4 2-3... I have a few of those in the archives...
	11:37am Cecile: Lewis, exactly. And as people started treating their record better, it was 1-2, 3-4.
	11:37am Lewis: I augment the belt by driving with my finger on the inner ring of the disk... I also clean on a soft cloth on my work table before going onto the platter. but i am fussy geek who can get grumpy...
	11:37am βrian: Ah, but what could be more authentic and charming than the sound of discs dropping onto the platter? Loves me my 400-pound stereophonic entertainment center, btw.
	11:37am Cliff: Is it useful to get one that plays 78 RPM, or is 33-1/13 and 45 good enough?
	11:38am bill: lewis by jove youre right!
	11:38am coelacanth: i remember my father stacking 6 albums when i was little! i imagine they might still be listenable now if he hadn't done that. (but he didn't clean his records before each play, so maybe not.)
	11:39am Cliff: 78 RPMs are pretty much only vintage records, right?
	11:40am Polyus: @Brian - those are kind of a thing again. I even know a guy who fixes them up and retrofits them with a jack for your mp3 player.
	11:40am βrian: Nothing lasts forever. Why get fussy? Soon enough we'll all be repurposed as shingles on a chicken coop.
	11:40am bill: cliff, though vinyl and cassettes are all the rage these days, I haven't heard of anybody making new 78s
	11:40am coelacanth: Lewis, i had to do that with my belt-drives. not with the direct-drive. (although a cheap dd might be stopped by it)
	11:40am SeanG: NICE
	11:40am Greg from ZONE 5: HAHA. I was like "Please be Sahm…"
	11:41am Wild Neil: @Cliff yeah, vintage. Belt drive uses a rubber belt and small pulley to drive the platter. Direct drive has a motor co-axial with the platter. Hence "direct", no belt.
	11:41am Cliff: Ok, that'll save me a hundred bucks then :)
	11:43am doctorjazz: Love this Doug Sahm. Late to the party, hi all, haven't gone through all the posts yet.
	11:43am Cliff: I'm looking at the Audio Technica AT-LP60USB for $104, looks like that'll work for m
	11:43am Cliff: *work for me.
	11:44am Greg from ZONE 5: KEEP 'EM COMING
	11:44am Cliff: Thanks for the turntable advice, everyone! I appreciate it.
	11:45am bill: me too, thanks
	11:45am Cliff: doctorjazz, you might want to skip the beginning if you're sensitive to violence and drug abuse.
	11:45am doctorjazz: I see the discussion has been a lot about vinyl/turntables, as a certified audiophile lunatic, I'll put in my $0.02...most of the people who are nuts for sound quality will tell you belt drive is best (not all, but most)
	11:46am Listener Robert: What'd we do THIS time to deserve this?
	11:46am doctorjazz: Rega makes some turntables that, while a bit more expensive than mass market, are not too expensive, and are supposed to be really good sounding. There are others if anyone is interested.
	11:47am doctorjazz: Sorry, I'll stop now (you are at fault for getting me going...)
	11:48am Cliff: What do you think of Audio Technica vs. Rega, doctorjazz?
	11:48am bill: go ahead, doctor
	11:48am Cecile: I'm not an audiophile, but really liked belt drive. However, belt drive wouldn't work at all at a radio station.

	11:49am Cliff: I'm trying not to go over $200, by the way.
	11:49am Marie: I really love "Is Anyone Going to San Amton'"
	11:49am bill: I have a queasy feeling Sid Haig is going to pop up somehow
	11:50am doctorjazz: I haven't listened to the Audio Technica stuff so it's hard to say anything definitive (they make great headphones, for instance), and I'm sure the AT will do fine, but I'd lean Rega (but, take this as coming from someone that has spend ridiculous amounts of money on gear).
	11:50am Cliff: Does that mean you really, really, really like this song? Heh
	11:50am doctorjazz: Loving the Doug Sahm...
	11:50am KP: Digging the Doug, Chris!
	11:51am Lewis: I am pretty happy with my u-turn audio turntable, and the completely basic model is under 200,but it is very basic.
	11:51am Devin B.: doctorjazz, do you know anything about the project debut carbon or the u-turn orbit?
	11:51am DreamCricket: LET'S GO!! Owwwww!
	11:51am chris: rinse, lather, repeat
	11:51am Devin B.: ha! good timing, lewis.
	11:52am Marie: I have this feeling this song might be channeling some reel (?) feelings...
	11:52am doctorjazz: Pro-Ject makes good stuff, I have a nice phono preamp (don't ask) from them
	11:52am Listener Robert: I went w my friend Nancy (who's in the antiques biz) over a decade ago junk shopping at someone's house. She asked my advice at buying a turntable that was $10, I said, "How could you go wrong?" so she did. We got it to her home. It turned out to be belt-driven, and appeared just to need the belt tightened or replaced, but her boyfriend I think convinced her to throw it out.
	11:52am coelacanth: AT makes decent cartridges, but over-priced. ...and when i contacted them with a "technical" question about a mic cable, they gave me a line of horse shit.
	11:52am Polyus: AT makes a belt drive turntable that also features a USB setup for about $150.
	11:52am Cliff: Cecile, fortunately for me I'm not a radio station ;)
	11:53am bill: In the split screen movie of this show, chris is getting a milkshake from down the street
	11:53am Lewis: I got the external preamp from u-turn. I would probably shop a bit more and get a simple one that has gain on it...
	11:54am doctorjazz: I've reat about the U-turn, also supposed to be good as well.
	11:54am bill: walking along the canal taking pictures
	11:54am Rich in Washington: I'm a human radio station. How about you?
	11:54am Cliff: Polyus, I'm looking at that one, it goes for $104 on Amazon, or $149.95 with some bundled mixing software.
	11:54am Chris M.: oh god
	11:55am coelacanth: considering that i think audiotechnica is over-priced, i wonder about the quality of their inexpensive products. - is that rational?
	11:55am Cliff: Hahaha bill
	11:55am Marshall Stacks: 10 GOTO 10
	11:55am bill: chris, what?
	11:55am coelacanth: Chris i was thinking the same thing.
	11:55am chris: have you locked yourself out of the studio, Chris?
	11:55am marc15: This is the 5h time this song has played. Was that done on purpose?
	11:56am doctorjazz: @coelacanth, you don't know overpriced!!!
	11:56am Rich in Washington: I keep having dreams I step out for a smoke and lock myself out of the station with a record about to end.
	11:56am Polyus: Of course, once you get a turntable, you will wonder if your amplifier sucks. And then you will need a new pair of speakers to really get the best out of it. . .
	11:57am Marie: I love it. I wonder what the record is on WFMU for playing the same song over and over. I think Kenny G did taht for a whole show once.
	11:57am Cliff: Looking forward to Chris's explanation for the situation here.
	11:57am doctorjazz: and you fall into the audiophile rabbit hole...
	11:57am chris: @marc15, its actually a very rare studio session recording... they were all on acid and didn't realize they were doing the same song over and over...
	11:57am bill: marc15, it's all a terrible mistake!
	11:57am Cecile: @ marc - Yep.
	11:58am marc15: Okay, Just wondered. :)
	11:58am ?: come on
	11:58am Wild Neil: Bye Chris. Have a better one.
	11:58am Cliff: This song has played so many times now that I just had to favorite it.
	11:58am chris: thanks, Chris... for the new Massive and Manuva, that is! ;-)
	11:58am Cecile: Marie, I remember it well. He played Chocolate City for three hours the day of Obama's first inauguration. It was great.
	11:58am Polyus: Wait til you get into tubes!
	11:59am coelacanth: i do, but i pay no attention to that shit! my brother-in-law has a $5000.00 amp. which he rarely uses. he listens to sirius in the car, which tells you something about his attention to sound-quality.
	11:59am Listener Robert: Marie, I haven't kept count, but Chris M. might only have tied the # of times he played this one at a stretch last yr.
	11:59am doctorjazz: I'm OK with this loop, actually love the song (but I likely won't have the urge to pull it out for a while...)
	11:59am Cliff: Bye Chris, and thanks again everyone for the turntable advice!
	11:59am BennettCap: It's a good song!!
	12:00pm βrian: Reminds of me of when Ronald Reagan was elected. WCBN found it's theme and stick with it!
	12:00pm Listener Robert: I suspect Chris M. is pissed off, maybe just got some bad news. Let's send positive energy.
	12:01pm βrian: wfmu.org... Charlie, on the Drummer Stream now.
	12:03pm coelacanth: fuck,you're still here?
	12:05pm coelacanth: doctorjazz , over-priced is over-priced. you know fuck-all about what i know.
	2:14pm Cliff: I just reread all of the comments while playing Doug Sahm on repeat. It was great.
