	3:37pm Scott Williams: Hi Matt! Danke
	3:38pm MD: That Skip was great you should keep it going...Great music bed!!! LOL! Hello All...XO
	3:39pm Scott Williams: Don't worry MD, I saved it!
	3:40pm steve: its a done deal... in my new years cleaning/downsizing frenzy ive decided im only allowed to own as many records as fit on a single Ikea record shelving unit and will be bringing over a big DJ bag's worth of goodies soon!
	3:41pm Scott Williams: wahhooooie! Thanks Steve - and thanks for the big bag o treats you already dun brung
	3:41pm MD: I knew you would! All Tried and True FMU DJ's don't let a good Skip get Away! W.B. Taught me that!!!
	🧩 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: Ha, I was wondering if that was the groove or just the fade-out! That would make a great bed - Irwin uses/used one that R. Stevie took a skipped groove and played guitar on top of it.
	3:41pm Scott Williams: @MD - Wm Berger!! Major hero
	🧩 3:43pm Matt from Springfield: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a HARVEST if we do not give up."
	3:44pm Matt Warwick: Dropin' da led
	🧩 3:44pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooooooo! Exc Zep cut! I love the alternating soft and hard sections!
	3:44pm MD: Mr Berger is one of my Guru's...Vinyl is always great for those "accidental" Skips...That turn in to songs etc...You just caint get that with those little Digi disks!!!
	3:46pm Scott Williams: @Matt Warwick, and da cred
	🧩 3:47pm Matt from Springfield: Ain't no cred, w/o the led!
	3:47pm MD: AND DA CRED!!! LOL!!!
	3:48pm JakeGould: Dude! Led Zeppelin II! Yes! Everyone’s teen/tween thing. At least for people our age.
	3:48pm JakeGould: And now… RUSH!!!!
	3:48pm хтinа: Very comfy show so far!
	3:48pm MD: Yes i Just laughed out loud! There's something in the air!!! Maybe we should all live like it is our last week on Earth...!!!
	3:49pm Mike East: RUSH!
	3:49pm MD: ie...MORE ZEPP!!!!
	3:49pm kirk from beer city usa: this will be hard to top, but scott can do it
	🧩 3:49pm Matt from Springfield: Which among these / Will be left to shelve / In 21-hundred-12?
	3:49pm Mike East: Attention all planets of the solar federation! We have assumed control!
	3:50pm Andrew Waterloo: Is Scott doing that 10 teen albums thing too?
	3:50pm JakeGould: We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control…
	3:50pm Stevel: Obviously, you've broken into my 15-17year old psyche, and my friend Roger's record collection.
	🧩 3:51pm Matt from Springfield: @Andrew: I didn't know anyone else was. Fortunately, it's more than 10 at this point!!
	3:52pm MD: @ Andrew Waterloo...I am still on the fence about doing that 10 album thing...I think we should boil it down to ONE! I KNOW THAT MAKES THINGS REALLY REALLY HARD...
	3:53pm Monica: ha! this is so great.
	3:53pm Tommy Jack Haynes: In true FMU style you are all over the map today Scott
	3:53pm BennettCap: What Bono sang when his guitarist threatened to leave the band.
	3:54pm northguineahills: This song spoke to me 15 years ago, let alone today.
	3:54pm Scott Williams: Hey Mo! Great to see you, Lady. Loved your email, will get back to you later today...
	3:54pm Scott Williams: @Andrew, yessir... until now
	3:55pm MD: How do us Freeform Fanatics boil it down to just 10...I think freeform is and can be genetic...so how did we not have that gene in high school???
	🧩 3:57pm Matt from Springfield: @MD: It takes exposure to develop Freeform instincts - I didn't tune in to WFMU (online) until I was 24, yet virtually all of my new "leads" come from here. More a criticism of commercial radio nowadays (and for a long time in the DC area) and lack of imagination elsewhere.
	3:58pm Monica: thx, kiddo! would love if they did an Part 2 update to this track. still holds up brilliantly but so much material to skewer since then.
	3:59pm coelacanth∅: hi Scott and others ...i must've fallen asleep immediately after Jim Price. Frank Zappa awoke me and it was splendid! ...what a Great set!
	3:59pm Andrew Waterloo: I dunno, I just quickly listed 10 and made sure they were actually released early enough to count. Actually, having completely different adult tastes is an accomplishment.
	3:59pm MD: @ Matt from Springfield...Excellent Points! Thank you for that Brain Food...That is why I love the message board!
	4:00pm Stevel: Amazing set. Appealing, to my muddled mind.
	4:01pm MD: I guess i am Huffing!!!
	4:01pm KP: When i was a teenager my top band was LCD Sound System
	4:02pm JakeGould: I put the “Risky Business” soundtrack (which had Tangerine Dream on it) on my 10 teen/tween list. So don’t say I was being cool!
	4:03pm MD: See! You should have used the SKIP!
	🧩 4:04pm Matt from Springfield: My pleazh, MD! One can get the munchies on this board, so I always chip in some "snacks"! I checked a Best of VU comp when I was nearly 17 - but it started my love for Lou and John and Mo &c...AND, I got it in under the wire! Yet my hip triumph is unnoted - none of the people I know IRL are even in to THAT!
	4:04pm Andrew Waterloo: I would have put a Rush album on my list except I didn't really own any albums. I had Chronicles and a bunch of bootlegs.
	4:04pm northguineahills: I didn't even listen to music until age 16, and my music tastes didn't even mature until age 24
	4:06pm JakeGould: I had a fairly intense Rush collection back in the 1980s. All vinyl. When my parents passed away in the 1990s and we had to clear out the apartment, I just left all of the Rush right there in my childhood closet. Gotta let go!
	4:06pm coelacanth∅: i knew Moussorgsky as a teen via ELP.
	4:06pm Monica: two-lane blacktop rock? funny...
	4:08pm JakeGould: @Monica: The stuff one listens to in the Chevy? Or the stuff one listens to in the GTO?
	4:08pm Andrew Waterloo: Show of Hands would have been appropriate but that was pre-teen years.
	4:09pm JakeGould: My list with a picture of buttons I wore at various times as a 1980s teen. www.instagram.com...
	🧩 4:10pm Matt from Springfield: @NGH: That's kind of like me - the pop culture mass media choices were so limited (burban VA in the 90s), I listened more to stuff my folks had in their collections (Dad's Steely Dan, Mom's The Band) - some cassettes I had for a while (Beatles "Yellow Submarine", early early Shania) - post-Black Album Metallica was about the heaviest edgiest stuff you could get everywhere. Not till I started driving and listening to the classic rock station did I start to get an appreciation for "catalogue" tracks and really get into the history and evolution of great music. In the privacy of my car, I was able to make it my "own".
	4:11pm geezerette: coel, I knew Moussorgsky as a teen too! He was so cute! :)
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: ...g!
	4:15pm Andrew Waterloo: I was fortunate enough to have Much Music, an OK college radio station, Internet forums, and a mother who did merchandising for a department store record section. My parents didn't really listen to everything and my older brother liked Metallica, Steve Miller, Boston, and then Garth Brooks.
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: nice, Jake! i'd like to see the whole collection.
	🧩 4:15pm Matt from Springfield: True geezerette, I was still pretty familiar with Classical in my teens, even before driving (music lessons helped give exposure to that), and we still have a great terrestrial Classical station in the DC area. But even that classic rock station is gone now! The Arrow/The Globe switched format in spring '09, and commercial terrestrial was dead to me. I got XM in the car and (just happened) to first listen to FMU around the same time. Liberation!
	4:16pm Uncle Michael: This bass line always gives me a cramp.
	🧩 4:19pm Matt from Springfield: @Andrew: Cecile has talked much about Ed the Sock and other kickass stuff from MuchMusic - but you're already in Canada right? I think MM is based there.
	4:20pm coelacanth∅: my father gave me "the student prince" and Vivaldi- trumpet concertos when i was ...? i liked them but didn't really get into classical until a few years later when i heard my brother playing "the firebird suite", which blew me away. i was touched by my father's gift though. i didn't think he gave a shit.
	🧩 4:22pm Matt from Springfield: Critical albums in shaping my taste at 16 were still from my parents CD stash: Al Stewart's "Time Passages" (1978) and The Beatles "White Album" (1968). Not only for the songs and their styles, but the wonderful SEQUENCING on those albums - the way one song gave way to another is just amazing on both of those, and it really helped define a "concept" album to me and appreciate the little details like that. I took a more broader journey after getting deep into those albums. It's why I really mean it when I appreciate a good DJ segue - the sequencing is important, too :)
	🧩 4:24pm Matt from Springfield: Nice, coela. Which Vivaldi suite? "Il Gardenillo/The Goldfinch" is a flute concerto of his that is EXCELLENT.
	4:24pm Monica: this min bul has got me in my feels!
	4:25pm Scott Williams: same here Monica! listened to it 3 times in a row last night. props to DJs Sam & Fabs for putting it on my radar last week
	🧩 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: Ah, "Firebird Suite" is a Stravinsky from much later. Though still highly acclaimed. I'll have to seek that out (DJ Bethany here turned me on to Stravinsky!)
	4:26pm geezerette: addicted to groove.
	4:32pm Kurt: Improvisation on an Indian Scale is amazingly addictive
	4:33pm coelacanth∅: Matt, agreed about the segues. ...the album is just called "trumpet concertos" and i don't have it here right now. -i am very fond of Vivaldi in general though, now. ...at the same time my brother (inadvertently) turned me on to "le sacru de printemps"(sp?) . i love them both.
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: ("sacre du" ?)
	4:35pm Monica: loving this clark-hutchinson too. sire? wow.
	4:35pm Scott Williams: @Kurt, it's not even the top track on the LP; I just play "Textures in 3/4" so much I feel guilty
	4:36pm Whosondephone: Now Were Talking!
	4:36pm Scott Williams: @Monica, I first heard Pseu B spin Clark-Hutchinson years back!
	4:39pm geezerette: surfing the Ganges.
	4:40pm JakeGould: Speaking of the “10 Teen” lists, someone in my Facebook circles just posted their list… And I am mumbling bullshit to all of it.
	4:41pm Kurt: Just looked them up. I'll be digging into them soon!
	4:42pm Monica: !!! and yet another fave... you hurt real good, scott.
	4:47pm common: scott. all.
	4:48pm steve: Clay pretty much knocked it out of the park this morning... im sincerely wondering who could top him. is there a schedule for upcoming Wake and Bakes online?
	4:49pm Scott Williams: Aww dang, Mo! Get back on the air soon, please, ya kill me every damn time
	4:49pm Bas NL: Hi Scott & all!
	4:49pm Scott Williams: Steve, so far all I see is this here: www.wfmu.org...
	4:50pm Scott Williams: Hola, Bas and Common!
	4:54pm Brian: In Scott Williams' long history of making great radio, this show is legendary!
	4:55pm JakeGould: @Steve: The full list was in Ken’s “Blast of Hot Air” email and here it is now: Jan 16-17: Clay Pigeon Jan 18-19: Dan Carlisle (veteran freeform DJ - WABX/KSAN) Jan 20 & 23: Pat K of the Ichiban Stream Jan 24-25: Todd-o-Phonic Todd Jan 26-27: Matt Warwick Jan 30-31: Glen Jones Feb 7-8: Billy Jam Feb 9-10: Jim the Poet
	4:56pm Scott Williams: blushing, Brian!
	5:00pm Brian: Loved Clay as always this morning, but you can't go wrong with any of those trying out. They all bring different ideas.
	5:02pm JakeGould: But for some reason it seems like Scott mentioned another DJ not on that list?
	5:07pm melinda: I think he mentioned Joe Belock and someone named Renee
	5:08pm melinda: @Brian: I agree, looking forward to hearing all of them.
	5:11pm geezerette: perfect !
	5:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Scott! I'm just buzzing in for a bit before I have to leave my computer. I didn't want to not say hello.
	5:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: BAS! xoxo
	5:13pm Bas NL: Hi Wendy!!
	5:13pm Linda Lee: it's always the right time for Sun Ra!! lovely. thank you Scott!
	5:14pm Scott Williams: Wendy!! Hey there, friend - glad you dropped in.
	5:16pm Scott Williams: Hello, Linda Lee! thank YOU
	5:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: Scott, me too. I couldn't tune in before because of work stuff I had to listen to, but I can listen for now while I write. This is nice writing music. Anyway, I hope you're well. Bas, too. It's nice to see friends here.
	5:24pm Bas NL: What's the writing about Wendy?
	5:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bas, right now I'm writing short pieces on municipal government news. Earlier today I wrote a longer story on this place: richearthinstitute.org I'm a newspaper reporter now. I don't know if you know that.
	🧩 5:31pm Matt from Springfield: Real Pussy = True Cat...
	5:34pm Bas NL: @Wendy: Yes! Awesome to read some of your output.
	🧩 5:36pm Matt from Springfield: Whoa, like a Syd re-incarnation. PRE-incarnation perhaps.
	5:36pm mjgoins: Classic LPD jam
	5:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Bas. :-) You can find my stuff over here: www.commonsnews.org...
	5:36pm Linda Lee: loooove this vibe Scott. .. perfect
	5:37pm Bas NL: I love the CP 1 & 2..
	5:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm heading out now. Bye everyone! Take care of yourself, especially in this challenging week. Big hugs from Vermont.
	5:39pm Scott Williams: G'night Wendy!
	5:40pm JakeGould: You know with those top 10 lists on social media? If someone lists “Front 242” in their list I call bullshit on that. But list “Killing Joke” and I believe that.
	5:41pm Bas NL: Bye Wendy!
	🧩 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: Nightmare Techno-Astrology Deteriorata...
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Closed for Repair'
	🧩 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: True that. I only heard of Front 242 a couple years ago myself, and that was because I first heard a cover of "Headhunter" and found the original while investigating. Like the Nurse With Wound list, a lot of these obscure pioneers are like a cheat-sheet for poseurs establishing cred.
	5:46pm JakeGould: Or anyone listing Boredoms on their list.
	🧩 5:47pm Matt from Springfield: And I bet no one is ballsy enough to list King Frog on their lists!!! Whatever this is, I like it!
	5:47pm Linda Lee: hm. the lists i'm seeing are all about fave bands in high school ..
	5:48pm JakeGould: I’m borderline on anyone saying they had a specific Bowie album they were influenced on. I can see that, but also know too many people who simply had “Changes One” to be completely onboard with actual albums being on a list.
	5:48pm Linda Lee: from the older folks like myself. mainly big label stuff.
	🧩 5:49pm Matt from Springfield: Oops, I meant the Russ Columbo :) Puts the OOOOOOOOOoooooooon in CrOOOOOOOOOoooooooon!
	🧩 5:52pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: It's like, what's the difference between Space Oddity and The Man Who Sold The World and Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane...each evolves and changes from the last, but without knowing the track lists by heart how can you place a song to any of those? I like promoting TMWSTW because a lot of people aren't aware of it, but I don't know if it's one of Bowie's "best" conceptual albums.
	🧩 5:52pm Matt from Springfield: Early KC reincarnation.
	5:53pm JakeGould: Or in general, most people in their teens were heavy into “Best Of…” comps or soundtracks that had cool tracks more that full albums.
	5:55pm khd: this guy is listing everything i listened to in high school
	5:56pm JakeGould: Oooo… Scott really nailed it! Bravo! Bravisimo!
	5:57pm melinda: Wow, this brings back the adolescent memories
	5:57pm Roberto: HAHAHHAHA!!!
	5:57pm Whosondephone: Great set today Scott!
	5:58pm Whosondephone: Some true gems.
	5:59pm melinda: @Jake: yeah, I loved Changes One and didn't generally explore beyond greatest hits albums. That came later.
	🧩 5:59pm Matt from Springfield: And there's the bed! :) Thanks Scott for your memories, now they're our memories too! Have a good evening, everyone! DREAM!!!
	6:01pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!

	🧩 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: Ha, I was wondering if that was the groove or just the fade-out! That would make a great bed - Irwin uses/used one that R. Stevie took a skipped groove and played guitar on top of it.
	3:41pm Scott Williams: @MD - Wm Berger!! Major hero
	🧩 3:43pm Matt from Springfield: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a HARVEST if we do not give up."
	3:44pm Matt Warwick: Dropin' da led
	🧩 3:44pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooooooo! Exc Zep cut! I love the alternating soft and hard sections!
	3:44pm MD: Mr Berger is one of my Guru's...Vinyl is always great for those "accidental" Skips...That turn in to songs etc...You just caint get that with those little Digi disks!!!
	3:46pm Scott Williams: @Matt Warwick, and da cred
	🧩 3:47pm Matt from Springfield: Ain't no cred, w/o the led!
	3:47pm MD: AND DA CRED!!! LOL!!!
	3:48pm JakeGould: Dude! Led Zeppelin II! Yes! Everyone’s teen/tween thing. At least for people our age.
	3:48pm JakeGould: And now… RUSH!!!!
	3:48pm хтinа: Very comfy show so far!
	3:48pm MD: Yes i Just laughed out loud! There's something in the air!!! Maybe we should all live like it is our last week on Earth...!!!
	3:49pm Mike East: RUSH!
	3:49pm MD: ie...MORE ZEPP!!!!
	3:49pm kirk from beer city usa: this will be hard to top, but scott can do it
	🧩 3:49pm Matt from Springfield: Which among these / Will be left to shelve / In 21-hundred-12?
	3:49pm Mike East: Attention all planets of the solar federation! We have assumed control!
	3:50pm Andrew Waterloo: Is Scott doing that 10 teen albums thing too?
	3:50pm JakeGould: We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control… We have assumed control…
	3:50pm Stevel: Obviously, you've broken into my 15-17year old psyche, and my friend Roger's record collection.
	🧩 3:51pm Matt from Springfield: @Andrew: I didn't know anyone else was. Fortunately, it's more than 10 at this point!!
	3:52pm MD: @ Andrew Waterloo...I am still on the fence about doing that 10 album thing...I think we should boil it down to ONE! I KNOW THAT MAKES THINGS REALLY REALLY HARD...
	3:53pm Monica: ha! this is so great.
	3:53pm Tommy Jack Haynes: In true FMU style you are all over the map today Scott
	3:53pm BennettCap: What Bono sang when his guitarist threatened to leave the band.
	3:54pm northguineahills: This song spoke to me 15 years ago, let alone today.
	3:54pm Scott Williams: Hey Mo! Great to see you, Lady. Loved your email, will get back to you later today...
	3:54pm Scott Williams: @Andrew, yessir... until now
	3:55pm MD: How do us Freeform Fanatics boil it down to just 10...I think freeform is and can be genetic...so how did we not have that gene in high school???
	🧩 3:57pm Matt from Springfield: @MD: It takes exposure to develop Freeform instincts - I didn't tune in to WFMU (online) until I was 24, yet virtually all of my new "leads" come from here. More a criticism of commercial radio nowadays (and for a long time in the DC area) and lack of imagination elsewhere.
	3:58pm Monica: thx, kiddo! would love if they did an Part 2 update to this track. still holds up brilliantly but so much material to skewer since then.
	3:59pm coelacanth∅: hi Scott and others ...i must've fallen asleep immediately after Jim Price. Frank Zappa awoke me and it was splendid! ...what a Great set!
	3:59pm Andrew Waterloo: I dunno, I just quickly listed 10 and made sure they were actually released early enough to count. Actually, having completely different adult tastes is an accomplishment.
	3:59pm MD: @ Matt from Springfield...Excellent Points! Thank you for that Brain Food...That is why I love the message board!
	4:00pm Stevel: Amazing set. Appealing, to my muddled mind.
	4:01pm MD: I guess i am Huffing!!!
	4:01pm KP: When i was a teenager my top band was LCD Sound System
	4:02pm JakeGould: I put the “Risky Business” soundtrack (which had Tangerine Dream on it) on my 10 teen/tween list. So don’t say I was being cool!
	4:03pm MD: See! You should have used the SKIP!
	🧩 4:04pm Matt from Springfield: My pleazh, MD! One can get the munchies on this board, so I always chip in some "snacks"! I checked a Best of VU comp when I was nearly 17 - but it started my love for Lou and John and Mo &c...AND, I got it in under the wire! Yet my hip triumph is unnoted - none of the people I know IRL are even in to THAT!
	4:04pm Andrew Waterloo: I would have put a Rush album on my list except I didn't really own any albums. I had Chronicles and a bunch of bootlegs.
	4:04pm northguineahills: I didn't even listen to music until age 16, and my music tastes didn't even mature until age 24
	4:06pm JakeGould: I had a fairly intense Rush collection back in the 1980s. All vinyl. When my parents passed away in the 1990s and we had to clear out the apartment, I just left all of the Rush right there in my childhood closet. Gotta let go!
	4:06pm coelacanth∅: i knew Moussorgsky as a teen via ELP.
	4:06pm Monica: two-lane blacktop rock? funny...
	4:08pm JakeGould: @Monica: The stuff one listens to in the Chevy? Or the stuff one listens to in the GTO?
	4:08pm Andrew Waterloo: Show of Hands would have been appropriate but that was pre-teen years.
	4:09pm JakeGould: My list with a picture of buttons I wore at various times as a 1980s teen. www.instagram.com...
	🧩 4:10pm Matt from Springfield: @NGH: That's kind of like me - the pop culture mass media choices were so limited (burban VA in the 90s), I listened more to stuff my folks had in their collections (Dad's Steely Dan, Mom's The Band) - some cassettes I had for a while (Beatles "Yellow Submarine", early early Shania) - post-Black Album Metallica was about the heaviest edgiest stuff you could get everywhere. Not till I started driving and listening to the classic rock station did I start to get an appreciation for "catalogue" tracks and really get into the history and evolution of great music. In the privacy of my car, I was able to make it my "own".
	4:11pm geezerette: coel, I knew Moussorgsky as a teen too! He was so cute! :)
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: ...g!
	4:15pm Andrew Waterloo: I was fortunate enough to have Much Music, an OK college radio station, Internet forums, and a mother who did merchandising for a department store record section. My parents didn't really listen to everything and my older brother liked Metallica, Steve Miller, Boston, and then Garth Brooks.
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: nice, Jake! i'd like to see the whole collection.
	🧩 4:15pm Matt from Springfield: True geezerette, I was still pretty familiar with Classical in my teens, even before driving (music lessons helped give exposure to that), and we still have a great terrestrial Classical station in the DC area. But even that classic rock station is gone now! The Arrow/The Globe switched format in spring '09, and commercial terrestrial was dead to me. I got XM in the car and (just happened) to first listen to FMU around the same time. Liberation!
	4:16pm Uncle Michael: This bass line always gives me a cramp.
	🧩 4:19pm Matt from Springfield: @Andrew: Cecile has talked much about Ed the Sock and other kickass stuff from MuchMusic - but you're already in Canada right? I think MM is based there.
	4:20pm coelacanth∅: my father gave me "the student prince" and Vivaldi- trumpet concertos when i was ...? i liked them but didn't really get into classical until a few years later when i heard my brother playing "the firebird suite", which blew me away. i was touched by my father's gift though. i didn't think he gave a shit.
	🧩 4:22pm Matt from Springfield: Critical albums in shaping my taste at 16 were still from my parents CD stash: Al Stewart's "Time Passages" (1978) and The Beatles "White Album" (1968). Not only for the songs and their styles, but the wonderful SEQUENCING on those albums - the way one song gave way to another is just amazing on both of those, and it really helped define a "concept" album to me and appreciate the little details like that. I took a more broader journey after getting deep into those albums. It's why I really mean it when I appreciate a good DJ segue - the sequencing is important, too :)
	🧩 4:24pm Matt from Springfield: Nice, coela. Which Vivaldi suite? "Il Gardenillo/The Goldfinch" is a flute concerto of his that is EXCELLENT.
	4:24pm Monica: this min bul has got me in my feels!
	4:25pm Scott Williams: same here Monica! listened to it 3 times in a row last night. props to DJs Sam & Fabs for putting it on my radar last week
	🧩 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: Ah, "Firebird Suite" is a Stravinsky from much later. Though still highly acclaimed. I'll have to seek that out (DJ Bethany here turned me on to Stravinsky!)
	4:26pm geezerette: addicted to groove.
	4:32pm Kurt: Improvisation on an Indian Scale is amazingly addictive
	4:33pm coelacanth∅: Matt, agreed about the segues. ...the album is just called "trumpet concertos" and i don't have it here right now. -i am very fond of Vivaldi in general though, now. ...at the same time my brother (inadvertently) turned me on to "le sacru de printemps"(sp?) . i love them both.
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: ("sacre du" ?)
	4:35pm Monica: loving this clark-hutchinson too. sire? wow.
	4:35pm Scott Williams: @Kurt, it's not even the top track on the LP; I just play "Textures in 3/4" so much I feel guilty
	4:36pm Whosondephone: Now Were Talking!
	4:36pm Scott Williams: @Monica, I first heard Pseu B spin Clark-Hutchinson years back!
	4:39pm geezerette: surfing the Ganges.
	4:40pm JakeGould: Speaking of the “10 Teen” lists, someone in my Facebook circles just posted their list… And I am mumbling bullshit to all of it.
	4:41pm Kurt: Just looked them up. I'll be digging into them soon!
	4:42pm Monica: !!! and yet another fave... you hurt real good, scott.
	4:47pm common: scott. all.
	4:48pm steve: Clay pretty much knocked it out of the park this morning... im sincerely wondering who could top him. is there a schedule for upcoming Wake and Bakes online?
	4:49pm Scott Williams: Aww dang, Mo! Get back on the air soon, please, ya kill me every damn time
	4:49pm Bas NL: Hi Scott & all!
	4:49pm Scott Williams: Steve, so far all I see is this here: www.wfmu.org...
	4:50pm Scott Williams: Hola, Bas and Common!
	4:54pm Brian: In Scott Williams' long history of making great radio, this show is legendary!
	4:55pm JakeGould: @Steve: The full list was in Ken’s “Blast of Hot Air” email and here it is now: Jan 16-17: Clay Pigeon Jan 18-19: Dan Carlisle (veteran freeform DJ - WABX/KSAN) Jan 20 & 23: Pat K of the Ichiban Stream Jan 24-25: Todd-o-Phonic Todd Jan 26-27: Matt Warwick Jan 30-31: Glen Jones Feb 7-8: Billy Jam Feb 9-10: Jim the Poet
	4:56pm Scott Williams: blushing, Brian!
	5:00pm Brian: Loved Clay as always this morning, but you can't go wrong with any of those trying out. They all bring different ideas.
	5:02pm JakeGould: But for some reason it seems like Scott mentioned another DJ not on that list?
	5:07pm melinda: I think he mentioned Joe Belock and someone named Renee
	5:08pm melinda: @Brian: I agree, looking forward to hearing all of them.
	5:11pm geezerette: perfect !
	5:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Scott! I'm just buzzing in for a bit before I have to leave my computer. I didn't want to not say hello.
	5:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: BAS! xoxo
	5:13pm Bas NL: Hi Wendy!!
	5:13pm Linda Lee: it's always the right time for Sun Ra!! lovely. thank you Scott!
	5:14pm Scott Williams: Wendy!! Hey there, friend - glad you dropped in.
	5:16pm Scott Williams: Hello, Linda Lee! thank YOU
	5:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: Scott, me too. I couldn't tune in before because of work stuff I had to listen to, but I can listen for now while I write. This is nice writing music. Anyway, I hope you're well. Bas, too. It's nice to see friends here.
	5:24pm Bas NL: What's the writing about Wendy?
	5:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bas, right now I'm writing short pieces on municipal government news. Earlier today I wrote a longer story on this place: richearthinstitute.org I'm a newspaper reporter now. I don't know if you know that.
	🧩 5:31pm Matt from Springfield: Real Pussy = True Cat...
	5:34pm Bas NL: @Wendy: Yes! Awesome to read some of your output.
	🧩 5:36pm Matt from Springfield: Whoa, like a Syd re-incarnation. PRE-incarnation perhaps.
	5:36pm mjgoins: Classic LPD jam
	5:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Bas. :-) You can find my stuff over here: www.commonsnews.org...
	5:36pm Linda Lee: loooove this vibe Scott. .. perfect
	5:37pm Bas NL: I love the CP 1 & 2..
	5:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm heading out now. Bye everyone! Take care of yourself, especially in this challenging week. Big hugs from Vermont.
	5:39pm Scott Williams: G'night Wendy!
	5:40pm JakeGould: You know with those top 10 lists on social media? If someone lists “Front 242” in their list I call bullshit on that. But list “Killing Joke” and I believe that.
	5:41pm Bas NL: Bye Wendy!
	🧩 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: Nightmare Techno-Astrology Deteriorata...
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Closed for Repair'
	🧩 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: True that. I only heard of Front 242 a couple years ago myself, and that was because I first heard a cover of "Headhunter" and found the original while investigating. Like the Nurse With Wound list, a lot of these obscure pioneers are like a cheat-sheet for poseurs establishing cred.
	5:46pm JakeGould: Or anyone listing Boredoms on their list.
	🧩 5:47pm Matt from Springfield: And I bet no one is ballsy enough to list King Frog on their lists!!! Whatever this is, I like it!
	5:47pm Linda Lee: hm. the lists i'm seeing are all about fave bands in high school ..
	5:48pm JakeGould: I’m borderline on anyone saying they had a specific Bowie album they were influenced on. I can see that, but also know too many people who simply had “Changes One” to be completely onboard with actual albums being on a list.
	5:48pm Linda Lee: from the older folks like myself. mainly big label stuff.
	🧩 5:49pm Matt from Springfield: Oops, I meant the Russ Columbo :) Puts the OOOOOOOOOoooooooon in CrOOOOOOOOOoooooooon!
	🧩 5:52pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: It's like, what's the difference between Space Oddity and The Man Who Sold The World and Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane...each evolves and changes from the last, but without knowing the track lists by heart how can you place a song to any of those? I like promoting TMWSTW because a lot of people aren't aware of it, but I don't know if it's one of Bowie's "best" conceptual albums.
	🧩 5:52pm Matt from Springfield: Early KC reincarnation.
	5:53pm JakeGould: Or in general, most people in their teens were heavy into “Best Of…” comps or soundtracks that had cool tracks more that full albums.
	5:55pm khd: this guy is listing everything i listened to in high school
	5:56pm JakeGould: Oooo… Scott really nailed it! Bravo! Bravisimo!
	5:57pm melinda: Wow, this brings back the adolescent memories
	5:57pm Roberto: HAHAHHAHA!!!
	5:57pm Whosondephone: Great set today Scott!
	5:58pm Whosondephone: Some true gems.
	5:59pm melinda: @Jake: yeah, I loved Changes One and didn't generally explore beyond greatest hits albums. That came later.
	🧩 5:59pm Matt from Springfield: And there's the bed! :) Thanks Scott for your memories, now they're our memories too! Have a good evening, everyone! DREAM!!!
	6:01pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
