	8:06pm Gaylord Fields: @unpopularfred: I certainly hope that's a good thing.
	8:07pm katie: My heart is mournfully satisfied right now. oh those strings.
	8:07pm Linda Lee: good evening Mr Fields!!! what a lovely start!!
	8:08pm Gaylord Fields: @katie: Aw, you!
	8:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...from the infernal to the refined...
	8:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Good evening to you!
	8:08pm unpopularfred: Well, The Left Banke puts me in a better mood.
	8:09pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Demon on one shoulder...
	8:09pm SeanG: XTC!!
	8:09pm glenn: a better mood, but still snowing.
	8:09pm Scraps: Skylarking is wonderful, wonderful.
	8:10pm Uncle Michael: This was almost in my "The Prisoner" show on Friday!
	8:10pm Linda Lee: amazing coming up on 'lucifer rising' after that chat about His Satanic Majesty last show. ;-)
	8:10pm JakeGould: Hello!
	8:11pm Gaylord Fields: @SeanG: perhaps my top artist whose music I neglect on my radio show for some odd reason.
	8:11pm Scraps: god i love the percussion on The Meeting Place
	8:14pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: Once again, our shows magically sync up.
	8:14pm Linda Lee: honestly, this is just like coming into a warm room full of friends after a hike in the snow.. shaking off the flakes in front of a fireplace. smiles all around. very sweet.
	8:15pm Linda Lee: what a welcoming radio show! :-)
	8:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps: I wore out the my vinyl copy when it was first released. It's a great album made under unpleasant circumstances (AP and Todd could not stand each other).
	8:16pm Scraps: Stuart Moxham, too.... thank you
	8:16pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: To which you are always welcome!
	8:16pm Gaylord Fields: Hi @JakeGould.
	8:16pm Linda Lee: oh lovely!! thank you!
	8:16pm glenn: dumb music question, perfect for gaylord - was it stuart moxham the recorded the tribute / homage to margeurite duras?
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: I chose the other Prisoner-related XTC song. Alas.
	8:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...since 2016 & 1968 are both Monkey Years - perhaps White Album moods, masteries, & ranges from pastoral to cataclysmic are par for the course...Jumpin' Jack Crash...nothing Gaylord & Todd Rundgren couldn't handle between them...
	8:21pm Scraps: So Relaxing Music! I'm anticipating Nice (Sydney) ...
	8:23pm Scraps: Later, I heard AP grudgingly admit that Skylarking was a good album.
	8:25pm melinda: Relaxing indeed!
	8:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps: While AP is on the record as dreading his experience with Todd, he also admitted that the ends justified the means.
	8:26pm Cooh John: Hello Gaylord and listeners. C'est si bon. Great denouement for the winding down of the past week and gearing up for the week ahead.
	8:26pm glenn: not rumer willis?
	8:26pm Gaylord Fields: @melinda: That seems to be my mood right now.
	8:26pm P-90: This reminds me- I read somewhere that Rumer was set to release an all Bacharach-David album in October. Gotta catch up with that now...
	8:28pm Linda Lee: P-90. that sounds absolutely perfect.
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: @P-90: Your hearsay about Rumer is true. The song I played is from that very long-player.
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Cooh John: Welcome.
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: That is only speculation.
	8:30pm @sugarwolf@: @gaylord: would you say it is a Rumer rumour?
	8:30pm P-90: I was wondering...!
	8:31pm Mr C: Gaylord Have you heard the Elza Soares album singled out in Times Best of.. today? I have not.
	8:31pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: I haven't, but I must.
	8:32pm Uncle Michael: What a great Andy Williams track.
	8:32pm Slaboch: This might be the perfect song for the gentle steady snow we've got out here in Michigan tonight. Thanks Gaylord!
	8:33pm P-90: Man that cat had a solid set of pipes
	8:33pm Cooh John: Love me some Andy Williams every so often.
	8:33pm Gaylord Fields: @Slaboch: We just had a dusting of snow here in the Windy Apple, so that's my mood too!
	8:33pm chris_in_space: Hey @Gaylord and peeps. Andy Williams is killin' me now, and it ain't even his Christmas record(s).
	8:34pm unpopularfred: Ooooooooooooh! Andy hits those high notes
	8:34pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael @P-90: I simply love that guy's voice. He's a whole lot better than the package he usually comes wrapped in.
	8:35pm chris_in_space: @Gaylord Fields @Uncle Micheal @P-90 you could say Andy was gifted
	8:36pm Cooh John: Love hanging out @ Lounge Gaylord
	8:36pm Linda Lee: only a dusting down in town? we'll have about a foot on the ground by tomorrow night ~ catskills
	8:37pm Gaylord Fields: @chris_in_space: And those are pretty swell in their own right.
	8:38pm P-90: Andy was gifted but also very polished, one of the last of a vanishing breed of 20th century male torch singers, "crooners" if you must
	8:38pm Uncle Michael: And he gave us the Osmonds.
	8:39pm Mr C: a perfectly classic Gaylord set right here..
	8:40pm still b/p: Andy and such make good mood/mode music to prep me for the Perry Como Christmas in Austria TV Special from 1976, which I expect I'll watch a bit of later this evening -- but I'll keep this Gaylord show on. Recently saw some of Perry's early 80s Xmas in Paris show. Awful!
	8:41pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Mr C!
	8:41pm Cooh John: Right, P-90. All these talent shows eschew those singers who bring it low and slow.
	8:41pm glenn: and the osmonds gave us crazy horses. thanks, andy.
	8:41pm Webhamster Henry: Of all the Gaylord Fields' in the world, Gaylord Fields, you're the Gaylord Fieldsiest.
	8:42pm Cooh John: ;) cheri
	8:42pm chris_in_space: The question now, as always, is, what in the f will Gaylord play out of this?
	8:45pm Gaylord Fields: @Webhamster Henry: To quote Kid Koala, "I gotta rock."
	8:46pm Gaylord Fields: @chris_in_space: Most of the time, I don't even know! ;-)
	8:50pm unpopularfred: That's what I love about WFMU, you can hear all sorts of wild, crazy and transgresive music (and I mean all those words positively), but you can also find out which are the good Perry Como Christmas specials.
	8:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You probably know, but: 'Crooner' is a whole Genre - a whole Way of Singing. The electric microphone meant you could 'whisper' directly to people - not have to resonate thru a whole hall. The equivalent of Guitar going Electric, now I think of it. (The Guitar used to be thot of as an intimate parlor thang - not heavy enuff for Orchestra, what have you. Segovia determined to overthrow that, already...) Bing Crosby generally credited as the Revolutionary here - right before Frankie...& many in Pop & Rawk carry it on - like Jim Morrison (who could also scream & bellow - & all modulated on demand): considerably unpopular these here parts - but frankly in my Top10 Vocalists...
	8:54pm common: gaylord, all
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @common: common.
	8:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm old enuff to remember being Modernist - & hostile to Sinatra (as he often was to Rawk). I vocally made fun of him - then gradually realized there was affection & imitation in that - which is the way of these things, isn't it? That is: I dig Crooners.
	8:56pm Carmichael: Way late to the big dance. Glad to see it's a wonderful boogie party.
	8:57pm northguineahills: Nice Some Velvet Morning cover....!
	8:58pm Linda Lee: amazing cover. is the language Chinese?
	8:58pm alias pail: whuuuu this cover is crazy! never heard this! amazing thanks!
	8:59pm Webhamster Henry: You've finally beaten my oft-played robotic cover of Some Velvet Morning!
	8:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone said this is about smack. (?) Pastoral & cataclysmic.
	8:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Yes.
	9:00pm Cooh John: ethereal
	9:00pm unpopularfred: There's a new person in the office named Phaedra and I get this song in my head whenever i walk past her desk.
	9:01pm alias pail: named my cat phaedra cuz of that song. there i said it
	9:02pm Linda Lee: just now trying to work out the connection between heroin & the myth of Phaedra ..
	9:02pm Linda Lee: great name for a cat, for sure!
	9:04pm alias pail: @rabbit thought its about the greek mythology about phaedra and hippolytus
	9:05pm Carmichael: You mean Manson Bobby Beusoleil? Whoa ..,
	9:06pm unpopularfred: Yhe name of Joe's show will come to you as soon as you play a record with some surface noise
	9:06pm Gaylord Fields: @alias Pail: Lotta good versions, but that one is my fave.
	9:08pm Linda Lee: he does reference the name phaedra .. but 'how she gave me life /and how she made it end' .. ?? def sounds like addiction
	9:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Yes. And yes, I do wash my hands after I take that disc out of the player.
	9:09pm Linda Lee: i hear Elliott Smith pretty strongly in this Scritti Politti ..
	9:09pm common: thank you so much for dr. abernathy gaylord! one of my favorites! makes my night
	9:10pm Gaylord Fields: @common: That makes me happy.
	9:10pm common: @gaylord: me too
	9:11pm Gaylord Fields: @unpopularfred: Yeah, the name will surface once I'm not listening to this noise.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elliot x Jellyfish. Interesting.
	9:12pm Listening Out There: Evening from the left coast....
	9:12pm Eric Hat: Just realized Scritti Politti is like a bizarro Seals and Crofts.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Scott Miller?...
	9:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Listening Out There: Thanks for waving to us from in front of the sunset.
	9:15pm Gaylord Fields: @cheri: Same to you.
	9:17pm Scraps: i shoulda known the high llamas were poking around the sound this set
	9:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: There must be at least four different ways to interpret the name The High Llamas.
	9:17pm Linda Lee: oh dear, should i worry about overposting? i can get pretty chatty
	9:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Never worry! You're a welcomed guest in my house, and your comfort is my business!
	9:21pm Carmichael: I have been studying those freaks (Manson followers) in regard to their musical inclinations and what went wrong where. I have no clear or easy answers...
	9:21pm Scraps: this is so good too.... sigh
	9:22pm Carmichael: @eric hat: Ha, you may be right!
	9:25pm Gaylord Fields: @eric hat: I agree with @Carmichael — that's a pretty sharp assessment.
	9:26pm Scraps: now Mwng is running through my head
	9:26pm Philthy woman: LoOOVIN this Gayllord. Thanky
	9:26pm melinda: @Ken: for some reason it didn't occur to me that the llamas might be high on weed, I just pictured llamas in the Andes at a high altitude. Silly me.
	9:27pm Linda Lee: thank you Gaylord!!! enjoying the hospitality!!
	9:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Philthy woman: Thanks!
	9:28pm @sugarwolf@: I've met llamas, but never high ones.
	9:28pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: I'm glad you asked, so I can reassure you that I really appreciate your presence and your contributions to this board.
	9:28pm Linda Lee: melinda ~ i'm thinkin llamas as spiritual teachers, not the animals. but i think the double L is for the animals .. !
	9:28pm Scraps: Wow.
	9:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - Yeah, and then some holy lamas from Tibet that are in the mountains or getting high.
	9:29pm Scraps: (for the music)
	9:29pm Gaylord Fields: @@sugarwolf@ Remember to follow high-altitude baking instructions.
	9:30pm Linda Lee: thank you Mr. Fields! it's great to be a guest!
	9:30pm Eric Hat: Right? And I love both of those outfits!
	9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Folks - I struggle constantly w/ OverPosting disorder. It's in the screen & eye of the beholder (a lynch mob is a 'Democracy', after all). @ 1st I didn't understand how my literal over-enthusiasm could be turning others off from Commenting. Leave space for others - try & keep the signal-to-noise ratio high : respect the DJ & the music & the topics @ hand in the thread: listen & read as well as post...I figure it's Ultimately up to the DJ - as he/she is the Programmer & gets to say what's what (& there are in fact a couple I completely leave alone). Another thing is: It's Community - but not necessarily Therapy. People support each other - but it's also about Music Entertainment here - the toybox of Life. Perhaps going to a Party to get Help isn't always the most effective strategy. @Carmichael: Lennon observed that a.) Manson was 'cracked'. - & b.) He made some valid observations: society had rejected those people, & he took them in. I observe that Manson is held up as the inevitable Dark Side of the Hippies - but he was Older - close to Elvis' age - & had spent most of his life in Institutions & the rest of it w/ abusive step-fathers & such. Therefore - he's a product of that : he's Theirs, not Ours! Julian Cope observed that everyone freaked over Manson's small handful of murders - while Kissinger conducted illegal war. Also true.
	9:35pm @sugarwolf@: Llamas can be spiritual teachers too! Or maybe just alpacas.
	9:36pm melinda: Good point about Manson, RevRabbit.
	9:36pm Eric Hat: ^^^average listeners' post length ^^^
	9:39pm Eric Hat: Exalted Alpacas
	9:39pm Scraps: i feel that one can be horrified by both Kissinger and Manson, and many are.
	9:39pm Linda Lee: Rev ~ looking for consistent delineation of good & evil in commercial institutions really gets us nowhere.
	9:42pm Linda Lee: there's no actual morality there.
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - Manson grew up in jail.
	9:48pm axlotl: OK, just came from a Bed=Stuy Popeye's, so my limit is low, but this is beautiful/
	9:48pm Scraps: This has been a beautiful two hours of music. Thanks so much.
	9:49pm Gaylord Fields: @axlotl: Not sure what one has to do with the other, but I'm glad you're here.
	9:49pm Scraps: Love Baden Powell, too. Man.
	9:50pm axlotl: Live experiences. Thanks for the tunes.
	9:52pm Linda Lee: listening hard, one hears Sir Paul for sure!
	9:54pm Linda Lee: oh my dear, those flat notes hurt. i'm sorry, Ms Wood ..
	9:54pm Cooh John: Thanks Gaylord for sending me off to nod in a relaxed state.
	9:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the music tonight, Gaylord. Enjoy the second half of the football game!
	9:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for not spoiling the game! @everyone else: Thank you for all the great conversation!
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the good you've done my savage breast, Gaylord.
	9:56pm maggiemaggie: Thanks Gaylord for the great soundtrack to Sunday night, as always!
	9:57pm P-90: Thanks, Santa Fields!
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
	9:58pm P-90: In showbiz, this is called "vamping"
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
	9:58pm Faye: GUYS IM TEARING UP HERE
	10:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: No spoiler, I!

	8:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Yes.
	9:00pm Cooh John: ethereal
	9:00pm unpopularfred: There's a new person in the office named Phaedra and I get this song in my head whenever i walk past her desk.
	9:01pm alias pail: named my cat phaedra cuz of that song. there i said it
	9:02pm Linda Lee: just now trying to work out the connection between heroin & the myth of Phaedra ..
	9:02pm Linda Lee: great name for a cat, for sure!
	9:04pm alias pail: @rabbit thought its about the greek mythology about phaedra and hippolytus
	9:05pm Carmichael: You mean Manson Bobby Beusoleil? Whoa ..,
	9:06pm unpopularfred: Yhe name of Joe's show will come to you as soon as you play a record with some surface noise
	9:06pm Gaylord Fields: @alias Pail: Lotta good versions, but that one is my fave.
	9:08pm Linda Lee: he does reference the name phaedra .. but 'how she gave me life /and how she made it end' .. ?? def sounds like addiction
	9:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Yes. And yes, I do wash my hands after I take that disc out of the player.
	9:09pm Linda Lee: i hear Elliott Smith pretty strongly in this Scritti Politti ..
	9:09pm common: thank you so much for dr. abernathy gaylord! one of my favorites! makes my night
	9:10pm Gaylord Fields: @common: That makes me happy.
	9:10pm common: @gaylord: me too
	9:11pm Gaylord Fields: @unpopularfred: Yeah, the name will surface once I'm not listening to this noise.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elliot x Jellyfish. Interesting.
	9:12pm Listening Out There: Evening from the left coast....
	9:12pm Eric Hat: Just realized Scritti Politti is like a bizarro Seals and Crofts.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Scott Miller?...
	9:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Listening Out There: Thanks for waving to us from in front of the sunset.
	9:15pm Gaylord Fields: @cheri: Same to you.
	9:17pm Scraps: i shoulda known the high llamas were poking around the sound this set
	9:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: There must be at least four different ways to interpret the name The High Llamas.
	9:17pm Linda Lee: oh dear, should i worry about overposting? i can get pretty chatty
	9:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Never worry! You're a welcomed guest in my house, and your comfort is my business!
	9:21pm Carmichael: I have been studying those freaks (Manson followers) in regard to their musical inclinations and what went wrong where. I have no clear or easy answers...
	9:21pm Scraps: this is so good too.... sigh
	9:22pm Carmichael: @eric hat: Ha, you may be right!
	9:25pm Gaylord Fields: @eric hat: I agree with @Carmichael — that's a pretty sharp assessment.
	9:26pm Scraps: now Mwng is running through my head
	9:26pm Philthy woman: LoOOVIN this Gayllord. Thanky
	9:26pm melinda: @Ken: for some reason it didn't occur to me that the llamas might be high on weed, I just pictured llamas in the Andes at a high altitude. Silly me.
	9:27pm Linda Lee: thank you Gaylord!!! enjoying the hospitality!!
	9:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Philthy woman: Thanks!
	9:28pm @sugarwolf@: I've met llamas, but never high ones.
	9:28pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: I'm glad you asked, so I can reassure you that I really appreciate your presence and your contributions to this board.
	9:28pm Linda Lee: melinda ~ i'm thinkin llamas as spiritual teachers, not the animals. but i think the double L is for the animals .. !
	9:28pm Scraps: Wow.
	9:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - Yeah, and then some holy lamas from Tibet that are in the mountains or getting high.
	9:29pm Scraps: (for the music)
	9:29pm Gaylord Fields: @@sugarwolf@ Remember to follow high-altitude baking instructions.
	9:30pm Linda Lee: thank you Mr. Fields! it's great to be a guest!
	9:30pm Eric Hat: Right? And I love both of those outfits!
	9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Folks - I struggle constantly w/ OverPosting disorder. It's in the screen & eye of the beholder (a lynch mob is a 'Democracy', after all). @ 1st I didn't understand how my literal over-enthusiasm could be turning others off from Commenting. Leave space for others - try & keep the signal-to-noise ratio high : respect the DJ & the music & the topics @ hand in the thread: listen & read as well as post...I figure it's Ultimately up to the DJ - as he/she is the Programmer & gets to say what's what (& there are in fact a couple I completely leave alone). Another thing is: It's Community - but not necessarily Therapy. People support each other - but it's also about Music Entertainment here - the toybox of Life. Perhaps going to a Party to get Help isn't always the most effective strategy. @Carmichael: Lennon observed that a.) Manson was 'cracked'. - & b.) He made some valid observations: society had rejected those people, & he took them in. I observe that Manson is held up as the inevitable Dark Side of the Hippies - but he was Older - close to Elvis' age - & had spent most of his life in Institutions & the rest of it w/ abusive step-fathers & such. Therefore - he's a product of that : he's Theirs, not Ours! Julian Cope observed that everyone freaked over Manson's small handful of murders - while Kissinger conducted illegal war. Also true.
	9:35pm @sugarwolf@: Llamas can be spiritual teachers too! Or maybe just alpacas.
	9:36pm melinda: Good point about Manson, RevRabbit.
	9:36pm Eric Hat: ^^^average listeners' post length ^^^
	9:39pm Eric Hat: Exalted Alpacas
	9:39pm Scraps: i feel that one can be horrified by both Kissinger and Manson, and many are.
	9:39pm Linda Lee: Rev ~ looking for consistent delineation of good & evil in commercial institutions really gets us nowhere.
	9:42pm Linda Lee: there's no actual morality there.
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - Manson grew up in jail.
	9:48pm axlotl: OK, just came from a Bed=Stuy Popeye's, so my limit is low, but this is beautiful/
	9:48pm Scraps: This has been a beautiful two hours of music. Thanks so much.
	9:49pm Gaylord Fields: @axlotl: Not sure what one has to do with the other, but I'm glad you're here.
	9:49pm Scraps: Love Baden Powell, too. Man.
	9:50pm axlotl: Live experiences. Thanks for the tunes.
	9:52pm Linda Lee: listening hard, one hears Sir Paul for sure!
	9:54pm Linda Lee: oh my dear, those flat notes hurt. i'm sorry, Ms Wood ..
	9:54pm Cooh John: Thanks Gaylord for sending me off to nod in a relaxed state.
	9:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the music tonight, Gaylord. Enjoy the second half of the football game!
	9:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for not spoiling the game! @everyone else: Thank you for all the great conversation!
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the good you've done my savage breast, Gaylord.
	9:56pm maggiemaggie: Thanks Gaylord for the great soundtrack to Sunday night, as always!
	9:57pm P-90: Thanks, Santa Fields!
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
	9:58pm P-90: In showbiz, this is called "vamping"
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
	9:58pm Faye: GUYS IM TEARING UP HERE
