Old joke: she says, "How did you know that was just what I've been needing?" He says, "How did you know my name is Katz?"

How do, Charlie and all! Cats aplenty!

Heya Charlie. Good luck in your herding endeavor!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:03pm listener james from westwood:

I do admire "The Muppet Show" for including this fairly-heavy-for-kids tune in one of its episodes, esp. with a hunting motif.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:03pm Charlie:

Howdy, ßrian, Parq, Jesse, mauri, James, Carmichael -- glad to see all you cool cats :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:03pm Jeff Golick:

Hooray for our side.
Avatar 12:03pm βrian:

Hey, James. Is your blue pencil sharp and ready to go?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:05pm listener james from westwood:

βrian: Always! With several sharpened backups in case the typos are running thick!
Avatar 12:06pm βrian:

I've always wondered, how does one distinguish between a typo and a random mutation?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:06pm schmutz:

Me-ow.

Avatar 12:06pm Michael:

Hiya Charlie.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:07pm Jeff Golick:

Improving on the one good Doors song!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:08pm listener james from westwood:

I kind of think of typos themselves as random mutations, in the sense of them not being deliberate.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:09pm Charlie:

Hey there, Gary, Jeff G, schmutz, thatpat, Michael!

@ Jeff "Indian Summer" is good, tho.

Welcome, Little Danny, doctorjazz, Uncle Michael. Finger foods are over on the sideboard.

Ah, good. I love chili.

Little Danny! Your debut program was a joy!

Muchas gracias James!

Oooh, and is that chocolate pudding?

John-John was the best.

Just checked out Little Danny's playlist from last week, looks great. The show is past my bedtime, need that beauty rest, have to listen later to the archive after Matt.

Avatar 12:38pm Carmichael:

Yes, this is not Charlie's show on the stream.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:38pm listener james from westwood:

Sounded like it switched just there...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:38pm Charlie:

I'm back, people. Had another computer issue.
  12:38pm gary mitchell:

Switching back from the Bi Bim Bap stream. I'm replenished.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:40pm Charlie:

thanks to all who hung in there -- wish I could have communicated with you, but had a brief internet blackout, required restarting everything, ugh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:41pm listener james from westwood:

Back indeed! Sorry the computer's giving you tsuris, Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:43pm Jeff Golick:

Ugh that sucks, Charlie. Thanks for comin' back!

I was working at home on Monday when all of a sudden my computer, internet, and lighting went dark. Turns out they were doing electrical work in the basement. New laundry machines = yay. Sudden blackout = nay.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 12:48pm doctorjazz:

Is this what Janis/Big Brother started from? Cool!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:50pm listener james from westwood:

Oh, Jeff, that sends a terror thru my home-worker's soul. My bldg's usually good about notifying about outages but they can't cover the doings of every contractor.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:59pm Charlie:

greetings, ndbob and bobdoesthings, if you're still here! sorry i missed you when you walked in. also stepchild.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:05pm Uncle Michael:

I run my studio computers' CPUs, external storage, and my modem and router on UPS so that they can ride out a momentary loss of power and to give me time to shut them down if it's not momentary.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:06pm Guido from Cologne:

Joe Meek!
Avatar 1:06pm βrian:

UM: What's your tornado contingency?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:07pm Charlie:

Yes Guido! You know it's Joe Meek because there's a line about people who live in the moon :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:09pm Uncle Michael:

Brian, when the sirens go off, I put my laptop, my medication, a pair of shoes and a six-pack inside the clothes drier and hope the storm misses me.
Avatar 1:10pm βrian:

Wow. Dare I ask what setting?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:10pm Uncle Michael:

"off"
Avatar 1:11pm βrian:

And, Charlie, where is your studio?
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:11pm doctorjazz:

Television!!!! GREAT TUNE!
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:13pm doctorjazz:

I have some sort of power surge thingy at home that has a battery in it, supposed to protect from surge and power outages so you have time to shut down without the disaster that happens in Windows.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:13pm Uncle Michael:

What's the worst song on Marquee Moon?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm Charlie:

haha, none
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:15pm doctorjazz:

Whose the worse guitarist on that album?
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:16pm doctorjazz:

The Punk Jam Band.
Avatar 1:16pm βrian:

I experienced a power surge only once. Actually had smoke coming out of the surge protector, and afterward it sounded like a can of sand if you shook it. But it worked, by golly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:19pm listener james from westwood:

Had a computer catch fire a couple of Novembers ago, which was the closest I've come to throwing a computer out a window. And this is coming from a person who used to use QuarkXpress.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:21pm Jeff Golick:

Ha. But did you ever use MultiMate?
Avatar 1:21pm βrian:

Why, I remember when Pine was the only e-mail client.
Avatar 1:23pm ndbob:

Great one here Charlie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:24pm Charlie:

Glad you dig it, Bob! I like the way they sing the Ray Charles numbers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26pm Little Danny:

Yeah, that Anita Kerr Singers track was great. And they even went there during the "you know my name is Ray" part.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:31pm Brian in UK:

Hello Charlie and everyone; sunshine and aeroplanes playing noughts and crosses with their vapours trials over here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:33pm Brian in UK:

Is there a copy editor in the house?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm listener james from westwood:

@Brian in UK: There is!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm Charlie:

There often are :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm listener james from westwood:

I don't mark points off for tweets, chats, etc. That would be churlish.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:42pm listener james from westwood:

I've actually had folks admit being afraid to email me b/c they're worried about my editing them. Good gods, what sort of monster do they think I am?

Scrolling back I see someone mentioned they have a cat named Vlad - just like my imaginary rat Vlada
Avatar 1:52pm testingwithfire:

Sunny Laura Nyro! Hi Charlie and gadabouts.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm Charlie:

Hey, bob, where can I get my imaginary rat?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Brian in UK:

@james have you ever see Dark Star, John Carpenter's first film? There was a sort of alien/monster there that tickled the crew on the space ship.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:53pm Charlie:

Remember in Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book, the picture of him walking his tiny pet buffalo? Because all Americans were entitled to a free buffalo or something, and he suggested we all pester the govt for our free buffalo...
Avatar 1:54pm ndbob:

@Charlie - Vlada has one just for you:)
Avatar 1:54pm ndbob:

I just read that Fermilabs has a name the buffalo contest
Avatar 1:55pm Michael:

My cat eats some Buffalo brand cat food.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm Charlie:

Please have Vlada introduce me!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:56pm Charlie:

Blue Buffalo, Michael? Me too. I mean our cat.

Excellent show Charlie! and will do of course:)
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 1:56pm doctorjazz:

great show, Charlie, thanks
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Charlie:

thanks to all you nothing-doing hangers-in-there for sticking around today! See you all next week. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Parq:

Another great one. That Laura Nyro track was thrilling.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:58pm listener james from westwood:

Thanks a ton, Charlie!

Go in Peas, Chaz et Al.
  1:58pm Listening Out There:

Charlie, did you ever track down "Chester and Lester," the Chet Atkins album I mentioned sometime back? Great fun, it is. Background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_and_Lester
Avatar 1:59pm Carmichael:

Thanky Chucky!
  1:59pm gary mitchell:
