	9:21am SSS: If you let them, they will kill you. (Charles Bukowski)
	9:22am TDK60: My name is a darker yellow as I made the embarrassing choice to look at my "clicky" faves list.
	9:22am Walt: @TDK60: www.htmlcsscolor.com...
	9:22am Polyus: Buncha snow. Bunch more snow coming this weekend. Kiss my ass winter. That's my poem.
	9:23am TDK60: Oh, it may be "HEX #CC6633." Thanks Walt.
	9:25am NotARealDoctor: This sounds very Johnny Costa-Mr. Rogers-esque
	9:25am Walt: @TCK60 According to that page, it's _close_ to "Ecstasy" but not exactly.
	9:26am TDK60: I'd been looking at another color site: the "RGB to Color Name Mapping(Triplet and Hex)" site.
	9:29am Linda Lee: morning Stashu! :-)
	9:29am John Allen: NARD, vibes bring back childhood memories to the lucky
	9:30am Linda Lee: @John Allen ~ definitely!
	9:30am Linda Lee: is this why i love this track? :-D
	9:33am melinda: Vibes are soothing.
	9:34am steveo: Please rename show "Close to Ecstacy".
	9:34am BronwynB: morning john and everybody
	9:34am melinda: They often remind me of Sesame Street music. They must have been a critical component of children's tv jazz.
	9:35am BronwynB: i adore vibes. they make me think im chillin with a martini in 1965
	9:36am sphere: "Deep in the sea are riches beyond compare. But if you seek safety, it is on the shore.” --Idries Shah
	9:36am MD: Good Morning Magical Land Of Freeform...Hairpin Sky Boot Airplane..!
	9:36am Mark Williams: hey JA. So nice to hear someone playing some Simon Crab. He's got new material he's been working on and posting onto Youtube. Ex-main man from Bourbonese Qualk, for those interested.
	9:36am Linda Lee: vibes aren't always soothing actually! sometimes they jump! think Lionel Hampton.
	9:37am steveo: Crap I spelled ecstasy wrong. 8 year old says current musical selection is "fine". 11 year old says "it's nice, it's relaxing". Old man says it's "gorgeous and lush".
	9:41am steveo: Chatty bunch. I blame Warwick.
	9:41am Booz: Close to ecstasy, but not exactly
	9:41am The Oscar: @steveo In high school we had an anti-drug speaker come in once, and they did the thing where they wrote out all the "street" names on a whiteboard. Teenage smartass that I was, I raised my hand and corrected them that "XTC" was the spelling of the band, not the drug.
	👻 9:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Friday! JA! Yay!
	9:44am Booz: The strings in the Chrome Waterfall Orchestra sound a little like XTC's Grass, but not exactly
	9:46am TDK60: Let me think of some other "dumb" topic...
	9:49am TDK60: I've got it! NRA.
	9:51am Linda Lee: please don't. not here. :-D
	9:52am sphere: I agree with Linda Lee.
	9:54am Linda Lee: once you come at a topic for careful thought through the lizard-brain, the conversation's basically done & you'll get nowhere.
	9:55am von w: @Mark Williams, what's Mike Crab's YouTube handle? google is giving mostly crab related vids.
	9:56am TDK60: I will now only chant, and do deep breathing.
	9:57am Linda Lee: i do not listen to JA's show often enough, shamed to say. this is just lovely.
	9:57am von w: ...simon crab
	9:57am Linda Lee: google is idiotic really.
	9:57am Wild Neil: PEACE All. Lets try to talk about the music. My wife works with this guy at Home Depot, a rapper named Heff. I sent a link to his soundcloud to a couple FMU DJs, maybe he'll get more exposure!
	9:58am Linda Lee: might he try posting to the Free Music Archive too? this is where the adventurous go..
	9:59am von w: google works better if you enter the correct name I just found. thanks for the simon crab youtube tip.
	10:00am Aaron Working In Newark: This is just what I needed this morning. Thank you.
	10:03am TDK60: I still have this cassette.
	10:03am Ike: Cats are superior. They don't meow on mic. Much.
	10:05am Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: I still have the tape re-release of "The Serpent" and "Abandoned Cities". So good.
	10:06am TDK60: That's the one I have.
	10:07am steveo: really enjoyable set, john, thanks. my boys agree this is a wonderstastic program; i just ordered your shirt (curiously my 3 premiums are you, bryce and sheila -- i guess i like fridays [and t-shirts {and tote bags}]). Have a good time, we're off to the met to see some hockney. great enunciation. bow wow.
	10:08am Linda Lee: yes please stick with the mood. just recommended the show to a friend who loves this groove.
	10:08am Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: Haven't listened in a very long time, though in the mid-90s I had it on all the time.
	10:09am ɨkɛ: Oh right, Bryce has a premium this year! The world is going to end! Even if it's a T-shirt and not a CD. That's still enough for an apocalypse.
	10:09am Linda Lee: this is the soundtrack i want for my life, thanks. :-D
	10:09am steveo: speaking of instagram here is john's dog from last week www.instagram.com... (I am eveostay on there...)
	10:10am maestroso: Yes, great sounds JA. And wow, I have this Yas Kaz LP!
	10:10am Booz: I'm not usually a connoisseur of skips, but that was a good one.
	10:10am Linda Lee: well loved record obviously :-)
	10:13am Linda Lee: oh my blesssed lord! the macari! fantastic
	10:15am Booz: On mallet instruments and childhood, they still use Orff instruments in my kid's school.
	10:16am Linda Lee: that's so great Booz! :-) do believe my next sound piece will be all vibratones. just so nice.
	10:17am Booz: Like how Terrence Malick used Orff's music in Badlands to underscore how his characters were still caught in childlike dreams.
	10:17am TDK60: Modern Jazz Quartet is where I first got the vibe.
	10:17am ⓔⓚⓔⓔ: @steveo, that dog DOES sound larger on mic. Much larger!
	10:18am steveo: i know!
	10:18am Booz: @Linda Lee, I will be very excited to hear that piece
	10:20am Linda Lee: thanks! i'm in the wind right now, as they say ~ couch surfing with no sound-work materials ~ hope to get back to work soon!
	10:20am steveo: though john just announced he (the dog) is a chihuahua so that already burst the bubble
	10:21am jess: one of Lou Reed's best songs
	10:21am TDK60: Street Hassle! One of Lou's epics, with great bass lines.
	10:21am Aaron Working In Newark: Can't go wrong with Lou Reed.
	10:21am melinda: I love Street Hassle.
	10:21am jt: always surprised how little there was when Lou Reed died seems almost no one took notice, NYC really doesn't give a shit about its hero's
	10:22am Linda Lee: we sure took notice here :-)
	10:22am Wild Neil: @Linda Lee, great idea!
	10:24am jt: Some of his later albums had amazing songs. You never hear anyone playing 'Possum Song' off of Ecstasy but thats a good song, too, dark and weird...
	10:25am TDK60: I noted Lou's passing. May he sleep a thousand years. // You know who recites a few lines here?
	10:26am Booz: Funny how Ecstasy keeps coming back during a show that's mostly about bliss.
	10:27am TDK60: Bass guitar and cellos! Ecstatic.
	10:27am Lixiviated Life: in my mind i am a whirling dervish
	10:27am TDK60: There he is. a certain rocker from NJ.
	10:29am medson: Great Show thus far John
	10:30am Polyus: Remember when Simple Minds covered this?
	10:33am TDK60: Yes, Polyus.
	10:39am melinda: arf
	10:39am steveo: oh, "her", excuse me
	10:39am Marcel M: Hey John and dog.
	10:39am TDK60: Nobody got it -- the NJ rocker?
	👻 10:41am Mick: You are so right steveo - announcement or not, that dog sounds bigger than she is. Happy to know she's there!
	10:41am Wild Neil: @TDK. Lou Reed used to live outside Blairstown, NJ in the hills. I used to drive by his driveway which was really really long. He would shop in the Blairstown Shop Rite and people just left him alone.
	10:42am Wild Neil: This Del Shannon will get a clicky star thanks to sitars!
	10:42am TDK60: Didn't know that Neil, but I'm talking about a guest on Hassle.
	10:43am John Allen: dog is 7 pounds wet. and is trying to ruin my show. like that commenter/troll last week. good luck with that
	10:44am sphere: @ TDK60 - I did hear something that sounded suspiciously like that fellow.
	10:44am Wild Neil: @JA-oh, "anonymous" who listened to pirate radio with raggae in Brooklyn? I remember that.
	10:44am steveo: i enjoy hearing her on the set breaks, adds a homey touch
	10:46am sphere: @ TDK60 - Wikipedia confirms.
	10:49am Wild Neil: This Barry Walker has free jazz going on in the background, its weird. Sounds like Zappa a bit.
	10:51am Booz: I like the dog. But I also enjoyed the halfwit troll.
	10:52am TDK60: From notes I read on an L.A. '60s comp, Del Shannon was accepted as cool by the later '60s L.A. longhairs. Not that he needed that.
	10:52am steveo: did they have a ballot proposal or something?
	10:55am TDK60: Steveo: Apparently, Del was there in the middle of it anyway.
	10:57am steveo: cool; i didn't check the playlist when Del was on, will have to go back later and relisten (postponed museum trip for after noon)
	10:58am steveo: hey ja you didn't play bishop last week...
	10:59am TDK60: Am I hearing part of a bass line from a previous selection?
	10:59am Booz: PSA: US Girls early show at Baby's on 4/13 on sale today; the late show's sold out.
	10:59am John Allen: US Girls has moved into the #1 spot, w Alv B slipping to #2
	10:59am dewittclinton: i like this us girls!
	11:00am steveo: yeah that's what reminded me :)
	11:01am TDK60: By the way, that comp is great: "Where the Action Is! Los Angeles Nuggets: 1965–1968" from Rhino. 4 CDs.
	11:02am steveo: i see the Fall was scheduled for tonight at baby's :(
	11:03am Booz: Steveo, the word "canceled" on their website nearly broke my heart
	11:05am steveo: yeah i know; the guy lived hard, though . . . wow, 7pm sounds pretty great to me... i'll bet us girls is a great show
	11:08am coelacanth∅: good morning John, people, others
	11:09am melinda: morning coel
	11:11am coelacanth∅: hi melinda
	11:14am Marcel M: You are going to turn into Nachum if you aren't careful.
	11:16am ⓔⓘⓘⓘⓘⓚ: Somebody get this man some big whitefish carcasses!
	11:16am John Allen: don't blow my cover maa, this is all leadup. my plan is to slip into jm in the am mode during the marathon.
	11:16am TDK60: It was Bruce. Hope the mention doesn't bother.
	11:17am Marcel M: That is brilliant, John. I'll keep it on the DL.
	11:18am steveo: thanks @booz, me and the missus are making it a date night
	11:18am John Allen: my plan is to get a phone room full of old ladies who don't know they're jewish to yell that they can't hear any phonecalls during my mic breaks
	11:20am ⓔⓘⓚ: Don't forget to call up your pal Rush L. who you helped get into the radio biz in the 80s and get him to donate $25k to the station again, LOL
	11:21am Booz: Steveo, see you at the show! (Early shows are so best.)
	11:26am foofs: SHAKE
	11:28am Carmichael: Listening to this University of Methadone Marching Band ...
	11:29am steveo: yeah late night is hard on me... ja thanks for today, gonna fly now; i'm wearing my underwater dog shirt in case you end up at met.
	11:29am TDK60: You can never go wrong with an E chord all the way thru! Or was it F?
	11:30am steveo: 11-year-old wants to know if this is the sex pistols. jk. bye.
	11:41am quinn: i love watching my baby's face when he listens to your show. very wide eyes.
	11:47am queems: i like the conspiracy theory that andrew wk doesn’t exist/is more than one person
	11:47am John Allen: we have to start them off young here Quinn, otherwise we've lost them until their hearts start breaking and their minds start cracking
	11:48am Carmichael: Kids get jaded earlier and earlier these days ...
	11:48am TDK60: So, this pianist parties too much.
	11:49am John Allen: i like the conspiracy that he's actually a 3 pack of white medium size T shirts
	11:49am George of Troy: Speaking of this guy, I saw this the other day and thought it was an Onion article: www.einpresswire.com...
	11:53am TDK60: DJ JA: Thanks for the fine, colorful music selections today.
	11:55am Greg: JA another great one. Friday morning appointment radio.
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks JA

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from February 23, 2018

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	10:09am steveo: speaking of instagram here is john's dog from last week www.instagram.com... (I am eveostay on there...)
	10:10am maestroso: Yes, great sounds JA. And wow, I have this Yas Kaz LP!
	10:10am Booz: I'm not usually a connoisseur of skips, but that was a good one.
	10:10am Linda Lee: well loved record obviously :-)
	10:13am Linda Lee: oh my blesssed lord! the macari! fantastic
	10:15am Booz: On mallet instruments and childhood, they still use Orff instruments in my kid's school.
	10:16am Linda Lee: that's so great Booz! :-) do believe my next sound piece will be all vibratones. just so nice.
	10:17am Booz: Like how Terrence Malick used Orff's music in Badlands to underscore how his characters were still caught in childlike dreams.
	10:17am TDK60: Modern Jazz Quartet is where I first got the vibe.
	10:17am ⓔⓚⓔⓔ: @steveo, that dog DOES sound larger on mic. Much larger!
	10:18am steveo: i know!
	10:18am Booz: @Linda Lee, I will be very excited to hear that piece
	10:20am Linda Lee: thanks! i'm in the wind right now, as they say ~ couch surfing with no sound-work materials ~ hope to get back to work soon!
	10:20am steveo: though john just announced he (the dog) is a chihuahua so that already burst the bubble
	10:21am jess: one of Lou Reed's best songs
	10:21am TDK60: Street Hassle! One of Lou's epics, with great bass lines.
	10:21am Aaron Working In Newark: Can't go wrong with Lou Reed.
	10:21am melinda: I love Street Hassle.
	10:21am jt: always surprised how little there was when Lou Reed died seems almost no one took notice, NYC really doesn't give a shit about its hero's
	10:22am Linda Lee: we sure took notice here :-)
	10:22am Wild Neil: @Linda Lee, great idea!
	10:24am jt: Some of his later albums had amazing songs. You never hear anyone playing 'Possum Song' off of Ecstasy but thats a good song, too, dark and weird...
	10:25am TDK60: I noted Lou's passing. May he sleep a thousand years. // You know who recites a few lines here?
	10:26am Booz: Funny how Ecstasy keeps coming back during a show that's mostly about bliss.
	10:27am TDK60: Bass guitar and cellos! Ecstatic.
	10:27am Lixiviated Life: in my mind i am a whirling dervish
	10:27am TDK60: There he is. a certain rocker from NJ.
	10:29am medson: Great Show thus far John
	10:30am Polyus: Remember when Simple Minds covered this?
	10:33am TDK60: Yes, Polyus.
	10:39am melinda: arf
	10:39am steveo: oh, "her", excuse me
	10:39am Marcel M: Hey John and dog.
	10:39am TDK60: Nobody got it -- the NJ rocker?
	👻 10:41am Mick: You are so right steveo - announcement or not, that dog sounds bigger than she is. Happy to know she's there!
	10:41am Wild Neil: @TDK. Lou Reed used to live outside Blairstown, NJ in the hills. I used to drive by his driveway which was really really long. He would shop in the Blairstown Shop Rite and people just left him alone.
	10:42am Wild Neil: This Del Shannon will get a clicky star thanks to sitars!
	10:42am TDK60: Didn't know that Neil, but I'm talking about a guest on Hassle.
	10:43am John Allen: dog is 7 pounds wet. and is trying to ruin my show. like that commenter/troll last week. good luck with that
	10:44am sphere: @ TDK60 - I did hear something that sounded suspiciously like that fellow.
	10:44am Wild Neil: @JA-oh, "anonymous" who listened to pirate radio with raggae in Brooklyn? I remember that.
	10:44am steveo: i enjoy hearing her on the set breaks, adds a homey touch
	10:46am sphere: @ TDK60 - Wikipedia confirms.
	10:49am Wild Neil: This Barry Walker has free jazz going on in the background, its weird. Sounds like Zappa a bit.
	10:51am Booz: I like the dog. But I also enjoyed the halfwit troll.
	10:52am TDK60: From notes I read on an L.A. '60s comp, Del Shannon was accepted as cool by the later '60s L.A. longhairs. Not that he needed that.
	10:52am steveo: did they have a ballot proposal or something?
	10:55am TDK60: Steveo: Apparently, Del was there in the middle of it anyway.
	10:57am steveo: cool; i didn't check the playlist when Del was on, will have to go back later and relisten (postponed museum trip for after noon)
	10:58am steveo: hey ja you didn't play bishop last week...
	10:59am TDK60: Am I hearing part of a bass line from a previous selection?
	10:59am Booz: PSA: US Girls early show at Baby's on 4/13 on sale today; the late show's sold out.
	10:59am John Allen: US Girls has moved into the #1 spot, w Alv B slipping to #2
	10:59am dewittclinton: i like this us girls!
	11:00am steveo: yeah that's what reminded me :)
	11:01am TDK60: By the way, that comp is great: "Where the Action Is! Los Angeles Nuggets: 1965–1968" from Rhino. 4 CDs.
	11:02am steveo: i see the Fall was scheduled for tonight at baby's :(
	11:03am Booz: Steveo, the word "canceled" on their website nearly broke my heart
	11:05am steveo: yeah i know; the guy lived hard, though . . . wow, 7pm sounds pretty great to me... i'll bet us girls is a great show
	11:08am coelacanth∅: good morning John, people, others

	11:16am John Allen: don't blow my cover maa, this is all leadup. my plan is to slip into jm in the am mode during the marathon.
	11:16am TDK60: It was Bruce. Hope the mention doesn't bother.
	11:17am Marcel M: That is brilliant, John. I'll keep it on the DL.
	11:18am steveo: thanks @booz, me and the missus are making it a date night
	11:18am John Allen: my plan is to get a phone room full of old ladies who don't know they're jewish to yell that they can't hear any phonecalls during my mic breaks
	11:20am ⓔⓘⓚ: Don't forget to call up your pal Rush L. who you helped get into the radio biz in the 80s and get him to donate $25k to the station again, LOL
	11:21am Booz: Steveo, see you at the show! (Early shows are so best.)

	11:29am TDK60: You can never go wrong with an E chord all the way thru! Or was it F?
	11:30am steveo: 11-year-old wants to know if this is the sex pistols. jk. bye.
	11:41am quinn: i love watching my baby's face when he listens to your show. very wide eyes.
	11:47am queems: i like the conspiracy theory that andrew wk doesn’t exist/is more than one person
	11:47am John Allen: we have to start them off young here Quinn, otherwise we've lost them until their hearts start breaking and their minds start cracking
	11:48am Carmichael: Kids get jaded earlier and earlier these days ...
	11:48am TDK60: So, this pianist parties too much.
