WFMU: Bryce: Playlist from March 25, 2016

Listener comments!
	12:09pm βrian: Bryce, would it hurt you to smile a little?
	12:10pm Casement 5ound: Starting it right
	12:10pm Bryce: GRAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
	12:10pm Guido from Cologne: good transition! hello bryce, everyone!
	12:11pm bill: and speak up a bit?
	12:11pm Polyus: Your co-workers find you intimidating and hard to approach.
	12:11pm Cecile: try to be more helpful.
	12:11pm bill: not exactly mr. friendly
	12:12pm βrian: And your music isn't self explanatory. It makes the customers uncomfortable.
	12:12pm Cliff: You need to be more assertive while being a team player or you're just not going to get ahead in this organization.
	12:12pm Cecile: oh, dear Lord, I literally heard that today, Poly.
	12:12pm Bryce: sorry, i was heating up fish in the microwave
	12:12pm Cecile: But you have nothing to be upset about.
	12:13pm sphere: being able and willing to participate in group activities is an important part of the team effort.
	12:14pm Cliff: We're going to need schedule some more team-building exercises at the next yearly meeting.
	12:14pm βrian: [He said "team player," but I heard "meat replay."]
	12:15pm βrian: Cale & Riley reigneth.
	12:15pm bill: you are punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter, and that's ok, but it bothers some people that you use the microwave for heaing up fish
	12:16pm JP from KC: Ah, heating up fish in the office microwave. It really is the best revenge, is it not?
	12:16pm Andrew Waterloo: Our Christmas party is mandatory, and required to develop company spirit.
	12:16pm Cecile: that's OK, Bryce, my shipment of coyote urine just arrived in the mailroom. Oh, it said "use no hooks". And they did...
	12:16pm βrian: @A Waterloo: I hope you work in a distillery.
	12:17pm Cecile: thank you my people. I feel much better.
	12:17pm Cliff: I read that as "my shipment of peyote" at first
	12:18pm Polyus: I did have to have a talk with someone about their b.o. recently. I think I was more mortified that they were.
	12:18pm βrian: You've been reading too much Carlos Castaneda.
	12:18pm museguy: What is that John Cale & Terry Riley playing ? It is great !!!
	12:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: The boss is still waiting for that TPS report that's long overdue.
	12:19pm JP from KC: This comment thread is easing my Friday pain. Thanks, everyone.
	12:19pm Cliff: βrian: never read him actually, the circumstances of his death weird me out too much
	12:19pm Cecile: what it comes down to is that people are way damn shallow.
	12:20pm bill: true story, we had a guy who would pass gas with impunity, and when finally confronted about it, cried
	12:20pm bill: but this track is nice!
	12:21pm Cecile: If I do something wrong, I can control, I fix the situation. If I'm criticized over something I can't, I get very frustrated and emotional.
	12:22pm βrian: @Cecile: Oh and now you're getting "defensive" ...
	12:23pm Cliff: Managers who set you up into double-binds, that's always fun.
	12:23pm bill: after all, only you can make yourself feel bad
	12:25pm Carmichael: Hiya Bryce and corporate drones. Have an ordinary and productive workday.
	12:26pm museguy: Thank you Bryce, John Cale & Terry Riley "Ides of March" Church of Anthrax ---grrrreat !
	12:26pm Andrew Waterloo: This Mantra sounds a bit In C like.
	12:27pm βrian: "Love is like a church of anthrax ..."
	12:28pm sphere: telework sounds nice unless you have the Kids from Hell dancing on your ceiling.
	12:28pm bill: hey today is a holiday we forgot to stay home!
	12:28pm Rory: oh yeah.....
	12:28pm Cecile: YES, Brian, exactly.
	12:29pm Cecile: I get one day of telework a week. I guard it with my life.
	12:30pm Bryce: thanks, museguy :) andrew, you're right! montréalers in 1970, doing a rock-n-roll reading of the score
	12:30pm Dave in Vermont: what i am getting here is that your donations last week are being paid for by your insurance and it is being billed under ' group therapy'
	12:30pm JP from KC: @Sphere: My wife teleworks several days a week. It's pretty much just as shitty as being at work, but you get to do it in pajamas.
	12:31pm museguy: Thank you Bryce you made my day !
	12:32pm βrian: @JC: Depends. I'm tele-twerking now. I get a hello lot done, too.
	12:32pm Cliff: Montréalers in 1970, huh? Cut this down to two chords and you have Godspeed You Black Emperor
	12:32pm Cecile: pretty much, Dave
	12:33pm βrian: Catharsis should be exuberant. Ergo, Bryce Friday.
	12:33pm Alejandro in TO: I'm glad I don't have to deal with superiors telling me how my demeanor should be, happy friday all!
	12:34pm Dave in Vermont: I was there a few years ago and I was lucky enough to get a job where I could pretty much do the minimum and my boss was ok with that , anything above that was appreciated. Then i quit and went back to college. Now it's my wife who should be here on the comments board but alas, no music in her office.
	12:35pm βrian: We have a quiet office. But headphones!
	12:36pm Andrew Waterloo: This type of large electric ensemble is the cornerstone of Victoriaville.
	12:37pm Bryce: ahhhh i miss victo. haven't been in so many years
	12:38pm Andrew Waterloo: I just started going a couple years ago. I will be going again this year.
	12:40pm Rory: This jam is helping in the release of dopamine into my brain.
	12:41pm Andrew Waterloo: Ah, it is based on In C
	12:42pm blee: @Rory - well stated. I completely agree. I walked outside and had the song still going in my head.
	12:42pm Andrew Waterloo: I think I'll have a trampoline party and this will be the music.
	12:42pm Andrew Waterloo: followed by the In C Africa
	12:43pm bill: andrew great idea!
	12:44pm Cliff: Andrew I like the way you think
	12:45pm blee: Trampoline Party! Who spilled the beer? We all did.
	12:45pm Alejandro in TO: andrew: sounds like a perfect trampoline soundtrack! Especially if it was a giant one that fits a large amount of ppl.
	12:46pm Alejandro in TO: flailing limbs and blasting horns
	12:47pm Ike: Help, I ate too much lunch. I may explode and spatter chewed-up rhubarb and salmon all over the office. My coworkers would probably disapprove.
	12:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: blasting limbs. yo.
	12:47pm βrian: @Ike: Perhaps just a wafer-thin slice more?
	12:49pm Chris from DC: Yay, This Heat
	12:49pm blee: @Ike Would you care to join the trampoline party?
	12:49pm Andrew Waterloo: the two trampoline places here have lots of small ones and it's 1 per person. That being said it's a pretty significant trampoline and you get a lot of height
	12:50pm Greg from ZONE 5: A little laundry folding music if you would, Brijesh…OH WAIT this is good.
	12:50pm Chris from DC: Food coma from a nice bowl of katsudon. No trampoline please.
	12:51pm Cliff: Ahh, katsudon, oishii ne
	12:52pm Dave in Vermont: @Chris I second that; slightly medium to medium hangover.
	12:52pm Dave in Vermont: Some spicy ramen would be nice right about now.
	12:53pm Cliff: I'm just having a banana. Maybe munch on some mixed nuts later.
	12:54pm bill: These guys like these notes
	12:54pm Cliff: They're good notes, can't deny that
	12:55pm Dave in Vermont: They are putting a nice amount of space between the notes.
	12:58pm Swan_Gone: Morgan Fisher was in the Mott the Hoople right?
	1:02pm Casement 5ound: Dude killin it tday
	1:02pm bill: thanks bryce for straightening that out
	1:02pm Bryce: sorry, i was a bit unfocused
	1:04pm Bryce: i'm drowning in these piles of punk 7"s
	1:04pm Cliff: We really need you to step up to the plate here and take ownership of this playlist project, Bryce.
	1:06pm βrian: Maybe I'm old school, but DJs are not matadors in my book.
	1:07pm Bryce: well, i can knock off some of the low-hanging fruit, going forward — it's in my wheelhouse — but i don't want to leverage a sea change without an exit strategy.
	1:08pm bill: punk 7"s? i smell synergy
	1:08pm Cliff: Good to hear that. I'll be giving you an "Above Satisfactory" on your next performance review.
	1:10pm βrian: Why aren't you wearing your company polo shirt?
	1:10pm Rory: Why are they yelling! Fuck off!
	1:11pm Cliff: It's Casual Friday, didn't you get the memo?
	1:11pm Chris from DC: Good that you all are being so proactive and having a touch base about this.
	1:12pm βrian: We're reaching out ...
	1:12pm sphere: as as we put our heads together and keep forward-looking, i predict a booming quarter.
	1:14pm Bryce: thanks for bringing that ask to the table. let's circle back around 2, and we'll peel back the onion, drill down and try to close the loop on this playlist, get it in front of some eyeballs. should have some bandwidth by then. like herding cats, all these records....
	1:15pm Chris from DC: And if you could please include all that in the dashboard report.
	1:16pm Cecile: I want to see the Gantt chart by 1600 hours
	1:16pm Cliff: Bryce, your communication skills are above par. You sound like a real go-getter. Remember everyone: Teamwork! And hit your sales targets!
	1:17pm bill: not a single sports metaphor - busted!
	1:18pm Bryce: sports metaphors are not my core competency
	1:18pm Cecile: you're not a subject matter expert
	1:18pm Sem Chumbo: Here is an example of a workflow that has been effective for us: Day 1: Call and email Day 2: Email and Twitter (favorite a tweet) Day 3: Twitter (Follow and retweet) Day 5: Email and LinkedIn (connection request) Day 7: Email Day 10: Call and email Day 17: Email and Twitter (tweet at or retweet) Day 21: Blog and/or LinkedIn (comment of content) Day 28: Call and email
	1:18pm Chris from DC: Maybe you can work on that as a stretch goal.
	1:19pm Rory: Cliff,just give me back my fucking stapler and I won't burn the whole fucking building down.
	1:20pm βrian: @Sem: add Slack to that slurry, and you'll be all set.
	1:20pm Dave in Vermont: Can someone give me hand, here? It's saying paper jam...but I've looked everywhere and can't see a jam...
	1:20pm Cliff: Rory, I'm going to have to write you up again for using inappropriate language in the workplace. You can file a requisition with the office manager for a new stapler.
	1:21pm Cecile: I'm off to lunch. hahahaha
	1:22pm sphere: @Dave - it's that little bit of paper that got caught in the roller again....
	1:22pm βrian: @Cliff: "Espèce de connard, toi !"
	1:22pm Sem Chumbo: @ βrian: can't believe the Lead Geniuses missed that. Thx.
	1:22pm Ryab from LC: Thanks Bryce! My favorite DDAA track!
	1:23pm Bryce: :)
	1:24pm Cliff: βrian, I'm going to have to write you up again for speaking unintelligible gibberish in the workplace.
	1:24pm βrian: Gomez loves it when I say, that by the way.
	1:25pm sphere: Cliff, you have exceeded our writeup quota, I will have to give you a meta-writeup.
	1:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Every tourist on earth seemingly arrived today. All of them.
	1:26pm Dave in Vermont: I spend more time with technology issues...I could actually get something done around here if IT gave a shit. This is really impacting productivity
	1:27pm Cliff: sphere, I gotta keep my subordinates in line. They're not playing ball.
	1:29pm Chris from DC: Rev, awesome. The train ride home should be fun.
	1:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Chris, I'm telling you man, ALL OF THEM. It's slow sidewalk-floaters in baseball caps as far as the eye can see. The lunchtime queues were.... uh......
	1:31pm BriJet: Hellloooo
	1:32pm βrian: Cherry blossoms, or what?
	1:33pm Bryce: i hope they didn't offshore something as mission critical as IT. that's one domain you don't want fulfillment issues in. keep it in-house & hyperlocal. it's just best practice.
	1:35pm Andrew Waterloo: IT reps are generally terrible. They're and paid for because they unique knowledge and skills. Always miserable recalcitrant because you don't share those skills.
	1:37pm George of Troy: Ahoy, Bryce and crew! Bryce, I never attend a meeting without one of these: www.bullshitbingo.net...
	1:39pm Bryce: hahaaa that's beautiful
	1:40pm βrian: @George: "open source?" Really? That doesn't come up in many meetings where I work, because it's assumed. (And we can't afford to buy anything.)
	1:42pm crateslinger: You all obviously need to spend more time with a table saw.
	1:42pm Chris M.: great
	1:42pm Cliff: George, would you say that workflow has led to transformative, fault-tolerant, out-of-the-box leadership? Or have you not gained traction with it yet?
	1:42pm βrian: "Knowledge management" makes me want to hork up my kibble.
	1:43pm Bryce: what's a "table saw?" sounds kinda...brick-and-mortar
	1:44pm Andrew Waterloo: sounds agricultural to me.
	1:44pm Cliff: Anybody here ever have to deal with Agile development, or Scrum: scrummethodology.com ? shudder
	1:44pm βrian: Jack-in-the-box thinking prevails in some workplaces.
	1:46pm βrian: Fragile Development, you mean.
	1:46pm Andrew Waterloo: Most don't understand that Open Source means inheriting most of the work, most of the spec, and some of the problems.
	1:46pm Chris from DC: Cliff, yes familiar with the scrum, and the occasional stand-up meeting.
	1:46pm Cliff: On a Scrum team, there is the Scrum Master, then everyone else is either a pig or a chicken. Because if you're having bacon and eggs for breakfast, the chicken only contributes to the project, while the pig is committed to it. I am not making this up.
	1:46pm crateslinger: It's an early twentieth century transformative strategy tool for a real boots on the ground front end partnership dynamic. Literally thinking ABOUT the box, if you will.
	1:46pm sphere: I subscribe to Schrodinger's school of management. The only things that get done are the ones that are observed.
	1:47pm crateslinger: A table saw that is...
	1:47pm Cliff: Chris, you didn't have to have DAILY stand-ups? Lucky you!
	1:48pm Chris from DC: At least when you're properly incentivized they get done.
	1:49pm Sem Chumbo: I'd subscribe to the bespoke, blue sky thinking model, optimally.
	1:49pm βrian: The implicitly idiotic thing about stand-ups is that it presumes folks are in the same place at the same time. And, by the way, would you please sit down?
	1:49pm Corporate: Bryce, you're a straight-shooter with upper management written all over you.
	1:50pm βrian: "Don't incentivize me, bro!"
	1:51pm Andrew Waterloo: I always figured Agile was an idealistic way of dealing with the fact that companies have sales teams and engineers
	1:53pm George of Troy: Can we monetize the comments board?
	1:54pm βrian: @Corporate: those tattoos finally paid off.
	1:55pm Clay: Ashram something or other? Love this.
	1:55pm Chris from DC: A new revenue stream is always welcome.
	1:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: man, I can't even joke this lingo. It's too close. I'll flip.. & run up to the top floor & take a dive on the aforementioned Baseball-Cap-People. As a holy sacrifice.
	1:56pm βrian: But remember, one can never step into the same revenue stream twice.
	1:58pm Cliff: You can if you cultivate ongoing sales relationships with your clients.
	1:58pm sphere: from now on, free jazz ensembles will wear racing suits with the names of their sponsors.
	1:59pm Corporate: Bryce, we need you to be the forward face of the organization. We're going to go granular with this thing and really zoom in to look at things from the 50-foot level. We're talking to Dave in marketing and Randy in the Delhi office to see if we can't bundle some proposals together and drive home this pitch for the Kauffman account. We need you to back off on the weirdness a little and play some more user-friendly material that doesn't challenge or alienate our core clients. Natalie Merchant, Matchbox 20, Josh Groban ... that type of thing. Play ball with us, Bryce, and we'll play ball with you. I'll have Donna call you later to schedule something.
	2:00pm Andrew Waterloo: All I can say about baseball caps is I really hate them.
	2:01pm steve: boo!
	2:01pm sphere: let's all play ball with each other! interactivity is the name of the game, folks!
	2:01pm βrian: As long as you follow your visor, I can deal.
	2:03pm Rory: More Pearl Jam please :)
	2:03pm crateslinger: baseball caps are great for keeping the rain out of your eyes when you ride a bicycle.
	2:04pm crateslinger: that's not a metaphor. I mean, like, riding a bike in the rain. Outside.
	2:04pm Bryce: don't worry, corporate, i'll make it POP
	2:05pm sphere: i guess a metaphorical baseball cap would protect you from metaphorical rain....
	2:06pm Cliff: I remember an interview on MTV where they were explaining their name, and they were like, "Yeah, Jam is because we're all into basketball, and Pearl is a precious gemstone. And we put them together and liked how it flowed, Pearl Jam."
	2:06pm Bryce: free value, we won't know what to do with all the mindshare
	2:07pm Andrew Waterloo: If you find your baseball cap useful that is good.
	2:07pm Cecile: yeah, right. hahahaha, it's pretty much a gross double-entendre.
	2:08pm Rory: Baseball cap types like Pearl Jam.
	2:09pm Cliff: Cecile, I was 13 I think, and I didn't figure it out until years later! I also like the story about Kurt Cobain thinking "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was some sort of revolutionary statement when it was really referring to ladies' deodorant (and its scent being all over him)
	2:09pm Rory: and also the sandals with socks types
	2:10pm Ike: Tension? Goodness, I hadn't noticed.
	2:11pm Clay: I do like "Jeremy".
	2:11pm βrian: Love socks in sandals. Lets the dogs breath easy.
	2:12pm sphere: Pearl Jam was the primary source of lameness in the 90s. Curse them.
	2:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was away for a while. This conversation will be stored in the cloud, right?
	2:12pm Cliff: Clay, when I was 13-14 I got my mom to sit down and watch the video for Jeremy, and also the entire Unplugged session on MTV. She sat there the whole time with her arms folded across her chest, making "tsk" noises and asking things like "So is this what you call, `alternative'?!"
	2:13pm Cheri Pi: We have scrummers in my organization, thankfully they are isolated fro the most part from the rest of.
	2:13pm Cecile: re: PJ - they liked all the same bands as bands I liked but they were so boring.
	2:14pm Cheri Pi: If somoeone else says "reach out" instead of "talk to" I'm going to lose my mind. I refuse to say it.
	2:14pm βrian: @Cheri Pi: do they have necks? Usually they just get in the way of things.
	2:14pm Cecile: I got an extra loaf of bread once by commiserating with a grocery store employee whose husband kept using that phrase.
	2:15pm Cheri Pi: down with Pearl Jam.
	2:15pm Cliff: So much dislike for Pearl Jam.....I had their 2nd album on cassette and played it over and over in high school until it ran down. Haven't listened to them in years now though.
	2:17pm sphere: every time i hear someone say "reach out," I hear the Four Tops song.
	2:17pm Bryce: they recently started saying "share out" at my job. we'll be sharing this out with everyone later this week.
	2:17pm Cecile: I like "spin the black circle" that's it. here's another funny thing- we hire writing teachers, and I have to edit their copy to make it comprehendable.
	2:18pm crateslinger: @ Cecile: do you mean comprehensible?
	2:18pm βrian: "Hannibal Lecter tried to reach out to her, through the bars."
	2:19pm Cliff: I liked "Rearviewmirror" and "Elderly Woman Behind a Counter etc. etc."
	2:19pm Cecile: We comprehend things, not comprehense things. Jeez. And inflammable should mean not flammable. not extra flammable.
	2:20pm Alejandro in TO: Pearl Jam for me would have been around grade 6/7. I never got into them or owned any of their albums. I think I tried to like them because everyone else did but...nah
	2:20pm Cecile: that was me with Jackson Browne, the Eagles, and the Boss.
	2:20pm Alejandro in TO: "Ballcap Rock"
	2:21pm crateslinger: I didn't make the rules.
	2:22pm Cliff: My middle-school math substitute teacher, who was from Ireland, gave me a copy of U2 - Achtung Baby on cassette! She was so cool, everybody loved her.
	2:22pm Cecile: I know. You're just doing your job.
	2:22pm Chris from DC: Hey is that ballcap rock? Well turn it up!
	2:22pm Cecile: the kids call a lot of bands "dad-rock"
	2:22pm sphere: @Cecile - As a professional writer of some years, I am not surprised.
	2:23pm Cecile: It's Homer's favorite hymn!
	2:23pm Polyus: I just wanted to touch base with you to let you know there are some issues with the music you listen to at your desk. It's great that you have adventurous tastes, but it has become a distraction for some of your coworkers.
	2:23pm Bryce: "defraud"
	2:23pm Rory: I also hate people who wear baseball caps backwards. It's like, ok white boy you're not cool.
	2:24pm Rory: btw, great show Bryce!
	2:24pm Cecile: In the old days, you only wore your baseball hat backwards if you were a baseball catcher off the job.
	2:24pm Cliff: Ok, what is this riff? I know I should know it, but I can't remember.
	2:24pm bill: (unless to avoid a red neck, a course)
	2:25pm βrian: @Rory: As I said, follow your visor. (So if you want to walk backwards, you're good.)
	2:25pm Alejandro in TO: Not only is it a distraction to the other workers, but it may be in violation of work ethics code #4276 and I'm not sure you even want to know the penalty for such a violation.
	2:25pm bill: "In the garden of eden" after a 6 pack
	2:26pm Bryce: thx, rory! :) as jimmy pardo has pointed out: the only two acceptable reasons to turn your baseball cap around are you're a sniper or giving your buddy a blow job.
	2:26pm Cliff: Of course! Thanks bill.
	2:26pm Alejandro in TO: In a gotta live la vida loca
	2:27pm Cheri Pi: lol
	2:28pm Cecile: seriously, though, this corporate stuff is like a new religion to some folks
	2:29pm Cliff: Silicon Valley especially.
	2:31pm Cliff: (looks at BS Bingo again) "Soup to nuts 24/7" - what does that even mean?!
	2:31pm Cecile: for about 5 minutes, I was like that. If you just organized and believed hard enough, the world would be beautiful. I learned, instead, it makes a lot more sense to navigate this ugly world that transform it.
	2:32pm Cliff: Be in the world while not being of the world, right?
	2:32pm Cecile: and jeez, once you're out in it, it's kind of beautiful anyway.
	2:33pm Cecile: Yeah, that was the old Catholic doctrine, which I also understand is preached by Latter-Day Saints as well.
	2:36pm Cliff: I try to practice that myself, but I don't think ironic detachment is the way to do it like so many people in their 20's and 30's
	2:37pm Brendan: Wild and wonderful greetings stargazers!
	2:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think Ty Webb from Caddyshack understood the philosophy. "Be the ball."
	2:38pm βrian: I think it's time to go to the Indian restaurant and onboard some buffet.
	2:38pm Cliff: Hi Brendan!
	2:38pm Cecile: I'm not detached from the world. I just don't fight it the way I used to.
	2:39pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm more Buddhist in that I practice finding wonder and fulfillment in simpler things. I figure by the time I'm 90 sweeping the floor will be as satisfying as an A+ on a difficult exam.
	2:39pm Cliff: There's a Zen saying I like: "Let go or be dragged."
	2:41pm Cliff: And a Japanese one: Nanakorobi yaoki (fall down 7 times and get up 8)
	2:42pm Brendan: I like the wind chimes in the background of this piece sounded like a squirrel got like tangled in them, which im guessing would look pretty cool
	2:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Cliff - That is very applicable when water skiing.
	2:43pm Cliff: Haha!
	2:44pm Sem Chumbo: "Fate leads the willing, and drags the unwilling" -some Roman guy in a toga.
	2:44pm Cliff: "Living life is like skiing on water." - Enlightened 8th Degree Master Cliff (maybe I need to work more on my pithy sayings)
	2:45pm Andrew Waterloo: It's good for the mind to have a less adversarial relationship with the world. It's like those cheesy affirmations that go like "if you don't like the rain, buy a nice rain jacket, and when it rains enjoy wearing your beautiful rain jacket"
	2:46pm bill: "If there's a bustle -" konk, splat
	2:46pm crateslinger: "Hope is a distraction." - Aang, the last air-bender.
	2:46pm Andrew Waterloo: for some reason my mind reads that in Bill Bailey's voice.
	2:47pm Sem Chumbo: "Hope is a thing with feathers." -some esteemed American poet
	2:47pm βrian: @Sem: that was my cat, actually.
	2:48pm Brendan: 'I'll have another" -Me
	2:48pm crateslinger: lol, brian
	2:48pm Andrew Waterloo: "Hope said she'd be here if I needed her, but I think she's on a smoke break" - a sage shopper
	2:50pm βrian: Hunger is at the door, yet still I listen ...
	2:51pm Cliff: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these _is_ charity."
	2:51pm sphere: "Hopefully, she'll never see this quote."
	2:52pm Sem Chumbo: hahaha, βrian.
	2:53pm Andrew Waterloo: so much not getting done because it involves being too far away from the speakers.
	2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: I recognize Grachan Moncur III as the dude from Scott McDowell's opening number each week ("Hipnosis").
	2:54pm βrian: While my stomach languishes, my ears sup at the stream of Moncur.
	2:54pm Cliff: Andrew, that's why I always listen on a laptop, heh
	2:56pm crateslinger: Time to turn the cap around, pull up my socks and slip the dogs into a pair of birkenstocks, then crank up Pearl Jam on the ol' walkman, and go play some paintball. Later, gators.
	2:56pm Rory: Thanks for the show. Good times listening live.
	2:56pm Cliff: βrian, go get something to eat already! ;)

Bryce: Playlist from March 25, 2016

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Listener comments!
	12:09pm βrian: Bryce, would it hurt you to smile a little?
	12:10pm Casement 5ound: Starting it right
	12:10pm Bryce: GRAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
	12:10pm Guido from Cologne: good transition! hello bryce, everyone!
	12:11pm bill: and speak up a bit?
	12:11pm Polyus: Your co-workers find you intimidating and hard to approach.
	12:11pm Cecile: try to be more helpful.
	12:11pm bill: not exactly mr. friendly
	12:12pm βrian: And your music isn't self explanatory. It makes the customers uncomfortable.
	12:12pm Cliff: You need to be more assertive while being a team player or you're just not going to get ahead in this organization.
	12:12pm Cecile: oh, dear Lord, I literally heard that today, Poly.
	12:12pm Bryce: sorry, i was heating up fish in the microwave
	12:12pm Cecile: But you have nothing to be upset about.
	12:13pm sphere: being able and willing to participate in group activities is an important part of the team effort.
	12:14pm Cliff: We're going to need schedule some more team-building exercises at the next yearly meeting.
	12:14pm βrian: [He said "team player," but I heard "meat replay."]
	12:15pm βrian: Cale & Riley reigneth.
	12:15pm bill: you are punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter, and that's ok, but it bothers some people that you use the microwave for heaing up fish
	12:16pm JP from KC: Ah, heating up fish in the office microwave. It really is the best revenge, is it not?
	12:16pm Andrew Waterloo: Our Christmas party is mandatory, and required to develop company spirit.
	12:16pm Cecile: that's OK, Bryce, my shipment of coyote urine just arrived in the mailroom. Oh, it said "use no hooks". And they did...
	12:16pm βrian: @A Waterloo: I hope you work in a distillery.
	12:17pm Cecile: thank you my people. I feel much better.
	12:17pm Cliff: I read that as "my shipment of peyote" at first
	12:18pm Polyus: I did have to have a talk with someone about their b.o. recently. I think I was more mortified that they were.
	12:18pm βrian: You've been reading too much Carlos Castaneda.
	12:18pm museguy: What is that John Cale & Terry Riley playing ? It is great !!!
	12:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: The boss is still waiting for that TPS report that's long overdue.
	12:19pm JP from KC: This comment thread is easing my Friday pain. Thanks, everyone.
	12:19pm Cliff: βrian: never read him actually, the circumstances of his death weird me out too much
	12:19pm Cecile: what it comes down to is that people are way damn shallow.
	12:20pm bill: true story, we had a guy who would pass gas with impunity, and when finally confronted about it, cried
	12:20pm bill: but this track is nice!
	12:21pm Cecile: If I do something wrong, I can control, I fix the situation. If I'm criticized over something I can't, I get very frustrated and emotional.
	12:22pm βrian: @Cecile: Oh and now you're getting "defensive" ...
	12:23pm Cliff: Managers who set you up into double-binds, that's always fun.
	12:23pm bill: after all, only you can make yourself feel bad
	12:25pm Carmichael: Hiya Bryce and corporate drones. Have an ordinary and productive workday.
	12:26pm museguy: Thank you Bryce, John Cale & Terry Riley "Ides of March" Church of Anthrax ---grrrreat !
	12:26pm Andrew Waterloo: This Mantra sounds a bit In C like.
	12:27pm βrian: "Love is like a church of anthrax ..."
	12:28pm sphere: telework sounds nice unless you have the Kids from Hell dancing on your ceiling.
	12:28pm bill: hey today is a holiday we forgot to stay home!
	12:28pm Rory: oh yeah.....
	12:28pm Cecile: YES, Brian, exactly.
	12:29pm Cecile: I get one day of telework a week. I guard it with my life.
	12:30pm Bryce: thanks, museguy :) andrew, you're right! montréalers in 1970, doing a rock-n-roll reading of the score
	12:30pm Dave in Vermont: what i am getting here is that your donations last week are being paid for by your insurance and it is being billed under ' group therapy'
	12:30pm JP from KC: @Sphere: My wife teleworks several days a week. It's pretty much just as shitty as being at work, but you get to do it in pajamas.
	12:31pm museguy: Thank you Bryce you made my day !
	12:32pm βrian: @JC: Depends. I'm tele-twerking now. I get a hello lot done, too.
	12:32pm Cliff: Montréalers in 1970, huh? Cut this down to two chords and you have Godspeed You Black Emperor
	12:32pm Cecile: pretty much, Dave
	12:33pm βrian: Catharsis should be exuberant. Ergo, Bryce Friday.
	12:33pm Alejandro in TO: I'm glad I don't have to deal with superiors telling me how my demeanor should be, happy friday all!
	12:34pm Dave in Vermont: I was there a few years ago and I was lucky enough to get a job where I could pretty much do the minimum and my boss was ok with that , anything above that was appreciated. Then i quit and went back to college. Now it's my wife who should be here on the comments board but alas, no music in her office.
	12:35pm βrian: We have a quiet office. But headphones!
	12:36pm Andrew Waterloo: This type of large electric ensemble is the cornerstone of Victoriaville.
	12:37pm Bryce: ahhhh i miss victo. haven't been in so many years
	12:38pm Andrew Waterloo: I just started going a couple years ago. I will be going again this year.
	12:40pm Rory: This jam is helping in the release of dopamine into my brain.
	12:41pm Andrew Waterloo: Ah, it is based on In C
	12:42pm blee: @Rory - well stated. I completely agree. I walked outside and had the song still going in my head.
	12:42pm Andrew Waterloo: I think I'll have a trampoline party and this will be the music.
	12:42pm Andrew Waterloo: followed by the In C Africa
	12:43pm bill: andrew great idea!
	12:44pm Cliff: Andrew I like the way you think
	12:45pm blee: Trampoline Party! Who spilled the beer? We all did.
	12:45pm Alejandro in TO: andrew: sounds like a perfect trampoline soundtrack! Especially if it was a giant one that fits a large amount of ppl.
	12:46pm Alejandro in TO: flailing limbs and blasting horns
	12:47pm Ike: Help, I ate too much lunch. I may explode and spatter chewed-up rhubarb and salmon all over the office. My coworkers would probably disapprove.
	12:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: blasting limbs. yo.
	12:47pm βrian: @Ike: Perhaps just a wafer-thin slice more?
	12:49pm Chris from DC: Yay, This Heat
	12:49pm blee: @Ike Would you care to join the trampoline party?
	12:49pm Andrew Waterloo: the two trampoline places here have lots of small ones and it's 1 per person. That being said it's a pretty significant trampoline and you get a lot of height
	12:50pm Greg from ZONE 5: A little laundry folding music if you would, Brijesh…OH WAIT this is good.
	12:50pm Chris from DC: Food coma from a nice bowl of katsudon. No trampoline please.
	12:51pm Cliff: Ahh, katsudon, oishii ne
	12:52pm Dave in Vermont: @Chris I second that; slightly medium to medium hangover.
	12:52pm Dave in Vermont: Some spicy ramen would be nice right about now.
	12:53pm Cliff: I'm just having a banana. Maybe munch on some mixed nuts later.
	12:54pm bill: These guys like these notes
	12:54pm Cliff: They're good notes, can't deny that
	12:55pm Dave in Vermont: They are putting a nice amount of space between the notes.
	12:58pm Swan_Gone: Morgan Fisher was in the Mott the Hoople right?
	1:02pm Casement 5ound: Dude killin it tday
	1:02pm bill: thanks bryce for straightening that out
	1:02pm Bryce: sorry, i was a bit unfocused
	1:04pm Bryce: i'm drowning in these piles of punk 7"s
	1:04pm Cliff: We really need you to step up to the plate here and take ownership of this playlist project, Bryce.
	1:06pm βrian: Maybe I'm old school, but DJs are not matadors in my book.
	1:07pm Bryce: well, i can knock off some of the low-hanging fruit, going forward — it's in my wheelhouse — but i don't want to leverage a sea change without an exit strategy.
	1:08pm bill: punk 7"s? i smell synergy
	1:08pm Cliff: Good to hear that. I'll be giving you an "Above Satisfactory" on your next performance review.
	1:10pm βrian: Why aren't you wearing your company polo shirt?
	1:10pm Rory: Why are they yelling! Fuck off!
	1:11pm Cliff: It's Casual Friday, didn't you get the memo?
	1:11pm Chris from DC: Good that you all are being so proactive and having a touch base about this.
	1:12pm βrian: We're reaching out ...
	1:12pm sphere: as as we put our heads together and keep forward-looking, i predict a booming quarter.
	1:14pm Bryce: thanks for bringing that ask to the table. let's circle back around 2, and we'll peel back the onion, drill down and try to close the loop on this playlist, get it in front of some eyeballs. should have some bandwidth by then. like herding cats, all these records....
	1:15pm Chris from DC: And if you could please include all that in the dashboard report.
	1:16pm Cecile: I want to see the Gantt chart by 1600 hours
	1:16pm Cliff: Bryce, your communication skills are above par. You sound like a real go-getter. Remember everyone: Teamwork! And hit your sales targets!
	1:17pm bill: not a single sports metaphor - busted!
	1:18pm Bryce: sports metaphors are not my core competency
	1:18pm Cecile: you're not a subject matter expert
	1:18pm Sem Chumbo: Here is an example of a workflow that has been effective for us: Day 1: Call and email Day 2: Email and Twitter (favorite a tweet) Day 3: Twitter (Follow and retweet) Day 5: Email and LinkedIn (connection request) Day 7: Email Day 10: Call and email Day 17: Email and Twitter (tweet at or retweet) Day 21: Blog and/or LinkedIn (comment of content) Day 28: Call and email
	1:18pm Chris from DC: Maybe you can work on that as a stretch goal.
	1:19pm Rory: Cliff,just give me back my fucking stapler and I won't burn the whole fucking building down.
	1:20pm βrian: @Sem: add Slack to that slurry, and you'll be all set.
	1:20pm Dave in Vermont: Can someone give me hand, here? It's saying paper jam...but I've looked everywhere and can't see a jam...
	1:20pm Cliff: Rory, I'm going to have to write you up again for using inappropriate language in the workplace. You can file a requisition with the office manager for a new stapler.
	1:21pm Cecile: I'm off to lunch. hahahaha
	1:22pm sphere: @Dave - it's that little bit of paper that got caught in the roller again....
	1:22pm βrian: @Cliff: "Espèce de connard, toi !"
	1:22pm Sem Chumbo: @ βrian: can't believe the Lead Geniuses missed that. Thx.
	1:22pm Ryab from LC: Thanks Bryce! My favorite DDAA track!
	1:23pm Bryce: :)
	1:24pm Cliff: βrian, I'm going to have to write you up again for speaking unintelligible gibberish in the workplace.
	1:24pm βrian: Gomez loves it when I say, that by the way.
	1:25pm sphere: Cliff, you have exceeded our writeup quota, I will have to give you a meta-writeup.
	1:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Every tourist on earth seemingly arrived today. All of them.
	1:26pm Dave in Vermont: I spend more time with technology issues...I could actually get something done around here if IT gave a shit. This is really impacting productivity
	1:27pm Cliff: sphere, I gotta keep my subordinates in line. They're not playing ball.
	1:29pm Chris from DC: Rev, awesome. The train ride home should be fun.
	1:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Chris, I'm telling you man, ALL OF THEM. It's slow sidewalk-floaters in baseball caps as far as the eye can see. The lunchtime queues were.... uh......
	1:31pm BriJet: Hellloooo
	1:32pm βrian: Cherry blossoms, or what?
	1:33pm Bryce: i hope they didn't offshore something as mission critical as IT. that's one domain you don't want fulfillment issues in. keep it in-house & hyperlocal. it's just best practice.
	1:35pm Andrew Waterloo: IT reps are generally terrible. They're and paid for because they unique knowledge and skills. Always miserable recalcitrant because you don't share those skills.
	1:37pm George of Troy: Ahoy, Bryce and crew! Bryce, I never attend a meeting without one of these: www.bullshitbingo.net...
	1:39pm Bryce: hahaaa that's beautiful
	1:40pm βrian: @George: "open source?" Really? That doesn't come up in many meetings where I work, because it's assumed. (And we can't afford to buy anything.)
	1:42pm crateslinger: You all obviously need to spend more time with a table saw.
	1:42pm Chris M.: great
	1:42pm Cliff: George, would you say that workflow has led to transformative, fault-tolerant, out-of-the-box leadership? Or have you not gained traction with it yet?
	1:42pm βrian: "Knowledge management" makes me want to hork up my kibble.
	1:43pm Bryce: what's a "table saw?" sounds kinda...brick-and-mortar
	1:44pm Andrew Waterloo: sounds agricultural to me.
	1:44pm Cliff: Anybody here ever have to deal with Agile development, or Scrum: scrummethodology.com ? shudder
	1:44pm βrian: Jack-in-the-box thinking prevails in some workplaces.
	1:46pm βrian: Fragile Development, you mean.
	1:46pm Andrew Waterloo: Most don't understand that Open Source means inheriting most of the work, most of the spec, and some of the problems.
	1:46pm Chris from DC: Cliff, yes familiar with the scrum, and the occasional stand-up meeting.
	1:46pm Cliff: On a Scrum team, there is the Scrum Master, then everyone else is either a pig or a chicken. Because if you're having bacon and eggs for breakfast, the chicken only contributes to the project, while the pig is committed to it. I am not making this up.
	1:46pm crateslinger: It's an early twentieth century transformative strategy tool for a real boots on the ground front end partnership dynamic. Literally thinking ABOUT the box, if you will.
	1:46pm sphere: I subscribe to Schrodinger's school of management. The only things that get done are the ones that are observed.
	1:47pm crateslinger: A table saw that is...
	1:47pm Cliff: Chris, you didn't have to have DAILY stand-ups? Lucky you!
	1:48pm Chris from DC: At least when you're properly incentivized they get done.
	1:49pm Sem Chumbo: I'd subscribe to the bespoke, blue sky thinking model, optimally.
	1:49pm βrian: The implicitly idiotic thing about stand-ups is that it presumes folks are in the same place at the same time. And, by the way, would you please sit down?
	1:49pm Corporate: Bryce, you're a straight-shooter with upper management written all over you.
	1:50pm βrian: "Don't incentivize me, bro!"
	1:51pm Andrew Waterloo: I always figured Agile was an idealistic way of dealing with the fact that companies have sales teams and engineers
	1:53pm George of Troy: Can we monetize the comments board?
	1:54pm βrian: @Corporate: those tattoos finally paid off.
	1:55pm Clay: Ashram something or other? Love this.
	1:55pm Chris from DC: A new revenue stream is always welcome.
	1:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: man, I can't even joke this lingo. It's too close. I'll flip.. & run up to the top floor & take a dive on the aforementioned Baseball-Cap-People. As a holy sacrifice.
	1:56pm βrian: But remember, one can never step into the same revenue stream twice.
	1:58pm Cliff: You can if you cultivate ongoing sales relationships with your clients.
	1:58pm sphere: from now on, free jazz ensembles will wear racing suits with the names of their sponsors.
	1:59pm Corporate: Bryce, we need you to be the forward face of the organization. We're going to go granular with this thing and really zoom in to look at things from the 50-foot level. We're talking to Dave in marketing and Randy in the Delhi office to see if we can't bundle some proposals together and drive home this pitch for the Kauffman account. We need you to back off on the weirdness a little and play some more user-friendly material that doesn't challenge or alienate our core clients. Natalie Merchant, Matchbox 20, Josh Groban ... that type of thing. Play ball with us, Bryce, and we'll play ball with you. I'll have Donna call you later to schedule something.
	2:00pm Andrew Waterloo: All I can say about baseball caps is I really hate them.
	2:01pm steve: boo!
	2:01pm sphere: let's all play ball with each other! interactivity is the name of the game, folks!
	2:01pm βrian: As long as you follow your visor, I can deal.
	2:03pm Rory: More Pearl Jam please :)
	2:03pm crateslinger: baseball caps are great for keeping the rain out of your eyes when you ride a bicycle.
	2:04pm crateslinger: that's not a metaphor. I mean, like, riding a bike in the rain. Outside.
	2:04pm Bryce: don't worry, corporate, i'll make it POP
	2:05pm sphere: i guess a metaphorical baseball cap would protect you from metaphorical rain....
	2:06pm Cliff: I remember an interview on MTV where they were explaining their name, and they were like, "Yeah, Jam is because we're all into basketball, and Pearl is a precious gemstone. And we put them together and liked how it flowed, Pearl Jam."
	2:06pm Bryce: free value, we won't know what to do with all the mindshare
	2:07pm Andrew Waterloo: If you find your baseball cap useful that is good.
	2:07pm Cecile: yeah, right. hahahaha, it's pretty much a gross double-entendre.
	2:08pm Rory: Baseball cap types like Pearl Jam.
	2:09pm Cliff: Cecile, I was 13 I think, and I didn't figure it out until years later! I also like the story about Kurt Cobain thinking "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was some sort of revolutionary statement when it was really referring to ladies' deodorant (and its scent being all over him)
	2:09pm Rory: and also the sandals with socks types
	2:10pm Ike: Tension? Goodness, I hadn't noticed.
	2:11pm Clay: I do like "Jeremy".
	2:11pm βrian: Love socks in sandals. Lets the dogs breath easy.
	2:12pm sphere: Pearl Jam was the primary source of lameness in the 90s. Curse them.
	2:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was away for a while. This conversation will be stored in the cloud, right?
	2:12pm Cliff: Clay, when I was 13-14 I got my mom to sit down and watch the video for Jeremy, and also the entire Unplugged session on MTV. She sat there the whole time with her arms folded across her chest, making "tsk" noises and asking things like "So is this what you call, `alternative'?!"
	2:13pm Cheri Pi: We have scrummers in my organization, thankfully they are isolated fro the most part from the rest of.
	2:13pm Cecile: re: PJ - they liked all the same bands as bands I liked but they were so boring.
	2:14pm Cheri Pi: If somoeone else says "reach out" instead of "talk to" I'm going to lose my mind. I refuse to say it.
	2:14pm βrian: @Cheri Pi: do they have necks? Usually they just get in the way of things.
	2:14pm Cecile: I got an extra loaf of bread once by commiserating with a grocery store employee whose husband kept using that phrase.
	2:15pm Cheri Pi: down with Pearl Jam.
	2:15pm Cliff: So much dislike for Pearl Jam.....I had their 2nd album on cassette and played it over and over in high school until it ran down. Haven't listened to them in years now though.
	2:17pm sphere: every time i hear someone say "reach out," I hear the Four Tops song.
	2:17pm Bryce: they recently started saying "share out" at my job. we'll be sharing this out with everyone later this week.
	2:17pm Cecile: I like "spin the black circle" that's it. here's another funny thing- we hire writing teachers, and I have to edit their copy to make it comprehendable.
	2:18pm crateslinger: @ Cecile: do you mean comprehensible?
	2:18pm βrian: "Hannibal Lecter tried to reach out to her, through the bars."
	2:19pm Cliff: I liked "Rearviewmirror" and "Elderly Woman Behind a Counter etc. etc."
	2:19pm Cecile: We comprehend things, not comprehense things. Jeez. And inflammable should mean not flammable. not extra flammable.
	2:20pm Alejandro in TO: Pearl Jam for me would have been around grade 6/7. I never got into them or owned any of their albums. I think I tried to like them because everyone else did but...nah
	2:20pm Cecile: that was me with Jackson Browne, the Eagles, and the Boss.
	2:20pm Alejandro in TO: "Ballcap Rock"
	2:21pm crateslinger: I didn't make the rules.
	2:22pm Cliff: My middle-school math substitute teacher, who was from Ireland, gave me a copy of U2 - Achtung Baby on cassette! She was so cool, everybody loved her.
	2:22pm Cecile: I know. You're just doing your job.
	2:22pm Chris from DC: Hey is that ballcap rock? Well turn it up!
	2:22pm Cecile: the kids call a lot of bands "dad-rock"
	2:22pm sphere: @Cecile - As a professional writer of some years, I am not surprised.
	2:23pm Cecile: It's Homer's favorite hymn!
	2:23pm Polyus: I just wanted to touch base with you to let you know there are some issues with the music you listen to at your desk. It's great that you have adventurous tastes, but it has become a distraction for some of your coworkers.
	2:23pm Bryce: "defraud"
	2:23pm Rory: I also hate people who wear baseball caps backwards. It's like, ok white boy you're not cool.
	2:24pm Rory: btw, great show Bryce!
	2:24pm Cecile: In the old days, you only wore your baseball hat backwards if you were a baseball catcher off the job.
	2:24pm Cliff: Ok, what is this riff? I know I should know it, but I can't remember.
	2:24pm bill: (unless to avoid a red neck, a course)
	2:25pm βrian: @Rory: As I said, follow your visor. (So if you want to walk backwards, you're good.)
	2:25pm Alejandro in TO: Not only is it a distraction to the other workers, but it may be in violation of work ethics code #4276 and I'm not sure you even want to know the penalty for such a violation.
	2:25pm bill: "In the garden of eden" after a 6 pack
	2:26pm Bryce: thx, rory! :) as jimmy pardo has pointed out: the only two acceptable reasons to turn your baseball cap around are you're a sniper or giving your buddy a blow job.
	2:26pm Cliff: Of course! Thanks bill.
	2:26pm Alejandro in TO: In a gotta live la vida loca
	2:27pm Cheri Pi: lol
	2:28pm Cecile: seriously, though, this corporate stuff is like a new religion to some folks
	2:29pm Cliff: Silicon Valley especially.
	2:31pm Cliff: (looks at BS Bingo again) "Soup to nuts 24/7" - what does that even mean?!
	2:31pm Cecile: for about 5 minutes, I was like that. If you just organized and believed hard enough, the world would be beautiful. I learned, instead, it makes a lot more sense to navigate this ugly world that transform it.
	2:32pm Cliff: Be in the world while not being of the world, right?
	2:32pm Cecile: and jeez, once you're out in it, it's kind of beautiful anyway.
	2:33pm Cecile: Yeah, that was the old Catholic doctrine, which I also understand is preached by Latter-Day Saints as well.
	2:36pm Cliff: I try to practice that myself, but I don't think ironic detachment is the way to do it like so many people in their 20's and 30's
	2:37pm Brendan: Wild and wonderful greetings stargazers!
	2:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: I think Ty Webb from Caddyshack understood the philosophy. "Be the ball."
	2:38pm βrian: I think it's time to go to the Indian restaurant and onboard some buffet.
	2:38pm Cliff: Hi Brendan!
	2:38pm Cecile: I'm not detached from the world. I just don't fight it the way I used to.
	2:39pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm more Buddhist in that I practice finding wonder and fulfillment in simpler things. I figure by the time I'm 90 sweeping the floor will be as satisfying as an A+ on a difficult exam.
	2:39pm Cliff: There's a Zen saying I like: "Let go or be dragged."
	2:41pm Cliff: And a Japanese one: Nanakorobi yaoki (fall down 7 times and get up 8)
	2:42pm Brendan: I like the wind chimes in the background of this piece sounded like a squirrel got like tangled in them, which im guessing would look pretty cool
	2:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Cliff - That is very applicable when water skiing.
	2:43pm Cliff: Haha!
	2:44pm Sem Chumbo: "Fate leads the willing, and drags the unwilling" -some Roman guy in a toga.
	2:44pm Cliff: "Living life is like skiing on water." - Enlightened 8th Degree Master Cliff (maybe I need to work more on my pithy sayings)
	2:45pm Andrew Waterloo: It's good for the mind to have a less adversarial relationship with the world. It's like those cheesy affirmations that go like "if you don't like the rain, buy a nice rain jacket, and when it rains enjoy wearing your beautiful rain jacket"
	2:46pm bill: "If there's a bustle -" konk, splat
	2:46pm crateslinger: "Hope is a distraction." - Aang, the last air-bender.
	2:46pm Andrew Waterloo: for some reason my mind reads that in Bill Bailey's voice.
	2:47pm Sem Chumbo: "Hope is a thing with feathers." -some esteemed American poet
	2:47pm βrian: @Sem: that was my cat, actually.
	2:48pm Brendan: 'I'll have another" -Me
	2:48pm crateslinger: lol, brian
	2:48pm Andrew Waterloo: "Hope said she'd be here if I needed her, but I think she's on a smoke break" - a sage shopper
	2:50pm βrian: Hunger is at the door, yet still I listen ...
	2:51pm Cliff: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these _is_ charity."
	2:51pm sphere: "Hopefully, she'll never see this quote."
	2:52pm Sem Chumbo: hahaha, βrian.
	2:53pm Andrew Waterloo: so much not getting done because it involves being too far away from the speakers.
	2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: I recognize Grachan Moncur III as the dude from Scott McDowell's opening number each week ("Hipnosis").
	2:54pm βrian: While my stomach languishes, my ears sup at the stream of Moncur.
	2:54pm Cliff: Andrew, that's why I always listen on a laptop, heh
	2:56pm crateslinger: Time to turn the cap around, pull up my socks and slip the dogs into a pair of birkenstocks, then crank up Pearl Jam on the ol' walkman, and go play some paintball. Later, gators.
	2:56pm Rory: Thanks for the show. Good times listening live.
	2:56pm Cliff: βrian, go get something to eat already! ;)
	2:56pm Sem Chumbo: from peteski: thisisnthappiness.com...
	2:56pm sphere: nice show mr. B! good stuff.
	2:56pm Cliff: Paintball?! Don't you mean hacky-sack?
	2:57pm Rory: crateslinger, Rock on man!
	2:58pm Sem Chumbo: Thx, Bryce. NIceity, nice.
	2:58pm Cliff: If Julie from Dark Night of the Soul wasn't on next I'd be getting out my Soundgarden CDs
	2:58pm Bryce: hey, guys, just want to thank you again for being around, not just this week but whenever you're here. it's always such a pleasure to do this thing among sympatico folks. thank you, thank you, for helping us all make it through the marathon another year. how wonderful to be part of this weird magic.
	2:59pm George of Troy: Thank you, Bryce!
	2:59pm Cliff: Thank you Bryce for doing this show every week! And thanks everyone else for the corporate doublespeak today :D
	3:00pm Cecile: It's not hard. Bryce, you are the man.
	3:00pm Alejandro in TO: Thanks Bryce, what a good afternoon soundtrack
	3:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Show's over? What a drag!
