	6:57pm listener james from westwood: How do, Evan and UM and all!! Make it fliff!
	6:58pm Uncle Michael: Doc! James!
	6:59pm Flash Strap: Hi James!
	6:59pm Uncle Michael: I'm stranded in the jungle!
	7:00pm hyde: i just saw an okapi with stripes that spelled wfmu
	7:01pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	7:02pm listener james from westwood: Oh, man, major flashback: a high school friend lived near enough to a zoo that when we would all leave his house late at night, we could hear the peacocks in the distance.
	7:02pm Flash Strap: Hyde! Hey pal!
	7:03pm Flash Strap: i like the peacock sound, tho a lot of people don't. used to live next to a few
	7:04pm Uncle Michael: I used to live across the street from the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. With the front windows open, we could hear beasts. Now, my neighbor across the creek has peacocks.
	7:04pm hyde: Unca Mikey! one of the few things i miss about not driving back from NY every week on Friday is that now I'm never around for the Hinky Dinky...
	7:05pm Flash Strap: This is from our first prize to give away tonight! pretty cool comp from We Want Sounds
	7:05pm Uncle Michael: Miss you in the comments, hyde.
	7:06pm hyde: i miss being there. some day i'll have a friday off
	7:06pm Uncle Michael: Get in on some Inner Peace for a pledge of $20 or more!
	7:08pm Flash Strap: This is our only CD of the night, so vinyl haters take notice!
	7:09pm Flash Strap: on the plus side, everything else tonight is hot juicy wax! YES
	7:09pm Uncle Michael: Yep, after this...it's all slabs of wax!
	7:09pm northguineahills: @UM: I've been letting the FMU office know in the notes that each pledge is $x/$n to make it easier for them to keep track.
	7:09pm Scraps: h’lo! Any CDs (I hope) ?
	7:10pm Uncle Michael: This first prize is the only CD tonight, Scraps.
	7:10pm Scraps: SHIT. Oh well.
	7:11pm northguineahills: Vinyl would tickle me turquoise. (the marathon is one of the few loopholes I have of acquiring physical musical media, but, cds work as well).
	7:11pm Uncle Michael: NGH, I don't know algebra, but thanks, I guess!
	7:12pm northguineahills: x= specific amount. n=total amount.
	7:12pm hyde: aw, i have really fond memories of seeing the Arkestra play this one live at Mass Art in Boston circa 1980
	7:13pm Flash Strap: more cds next week, Scraps. but the one we have, it's a good one!
	7:13pm Uncle Michael: Ah, as long as you're not expecting them to credit dollar amounts to shows other than where the dollars landed....
	7:13pm northguineahills: On Doug's show a few years back, I was busy at work, and didn't know I received a big prize, so it was a welcome surprise when the swag finally came.
	7:13pm Stepchild: I know division, but am going to opt for multiplication instead! Pledge #1 incoming!!!!!!!
	7:14pm Uncle Michael: Stepchild!
	7:14pm Flash Strap: this comp put together in part by Irwin Chusid this version of Space is the Place, new to me, has been blowing my mind since this came out
	7:14pm Flash Strap: Stepchild! hellllo!
	7:17pm Stepchild: Hello from the surface. Going back under now.
	7:20pm Andrew Waterloo: I do like this version of Space is the Place
	7:20pm Stepchild: This comp, is easy to love. Unfortunately for those easily afflicted with Acquisitive Sun Ra Syndrome, however, the temptation to dig out all of the source sessions is an everpresent danger
	7:20pm Uncle Michael: We need some more names in the hopper for these prizes! Step right up!
	7:20pm Uncle Michael: Andrew!
	7:24pm doctorjazz: I have a decent piece of gear for ripping vinyl, but think I've only done it about 3 times, such a PIA!
	7:27pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to see some more premium-level pledges!
	7:27pm Stepchild: even geared up, it's a daunting thing -- especially if one is "of a certain age" and has a largish vinyl collection, one begins to ask "how many more times am I going to listen to this recording I am ripping in real time and editing in extra time?"
	7:27pm Uncle Michael: YW!
	7:27pm Stepchild: gonna get there Michael, there and beyond
	7:28pm doctorjazz: That's me, @Stepchild. Think I'd die before I finished ripping all the vinyl.
	7:29pm Flash Strap: It's more fun rippin' when you're just grabbing choice tracks, tbh
	7:30pm Flash Strap: yeah, what UM said, I need more people to hear this premium o' mine! labor of love it is
	7:31pm Uncle Michael: Let's get on that widget! Don't make Evan go all Dr. Gene Scott on you all.
	7:32pm Stepchild: if you've merely done as well as prior years, you're not just blowing smoke Flash -- but I'll bet you've outdone yerself
	7:33pm Stepchild: gzzzzappp
	7:33pm Flash Strap: aw shucks Stepchild!
	7:34pm Flash Strap: This LP is so cool
	7:34pm Uncle Michael: $20 or more and you can WIN this gzzzzappp...I mean Don Cherry record!
	7:34pm northguineahills: You think I would rip vinyl, seeing as I've lived at my house for 7 months and I have yet to hook up my gramophones.
	7:41pm Gary: Howdy, gang!
	7:42pm Uncle Michael: I have a name, written on a slip of paper. This person has won the Inner Peace CD. I'm the only one who knows...
	7:42pm Uncle Michael: Gary!
	7:43pm Uncle Michael: Congrats, Scraps!
	7:43pm listener james from westwood: Scraaaps!
	7:43pm Stepchild: perfect congrats
	7:43pm Scraps: Argh. I tried to say why, and stay around, but I kept getting mad explaining why. 2018 is Wax Ascending (except Bodega Pop, bless them). It’s not just you, so I don’t want to get mad at you. Jeez, I named named you (among others) in my Swag 4 Life. I’m just frustrated (and surprised) at the level of vinyl takeover this year. I thought there was more that doesn’t play vinyl, like me. But maybe I’m wrong. Anyway, I have to go right now. Have fun (sincerely). I hope you get your goal. Cheers.
	7:43pm Little Danny: Go Flash Go! Hi all!
	7:44pm Flash Strap: Hi Gary! Hi LD!
	7:44pm northguineahills: Nice Scraps! You've been cleaning up this marathon!
	7:45pm Uncle Michael: Scraps, you won a CD.
	7:46pm northguineahills: @Scraps: Well, Gary doesn't have a turntable, first of all. It would be hypocritical if he gave out vinyl on Bodega Pop.
	7:46pm Uncle Michael: Danny!
	7:47pm Flash Strap: yeah Scraps you won a CD pal!
	7:49pm Uncle Michael: We're giving away sweet vinyl for the rest of the show. To make that happen, we need PLEDGES! $20 or more gets your name written on a slip of paper and placed face-down on my flannel duvet cover.
	7:50pm Gary: True -- and I did pick up all my prizes a bodegas this year, and bodegas tend to sell CDs and cassettes. Although, having said that, I know of four or five places that do have limited vinyl offerings
	7:50pm Little Danny: Oh man this "Taboo"!
	7:51pm hyde: gonna go to bat for the non-swag-ers. you can send money in and get nothing in return! i just did. maybe you'll still even to put it in as a charitable deduction next year? probably not. BUT WHO CARES
	7:53pm Stepchild: @Gary & Flash Yup, & Whereas, and please correct me, Explorer's Room is a bit of a vinyl heaven of a program space, the black wax is most apropos here
	7:55pm Flash Strap: indeed vinyl is much trafficked here
	7:56pm northguineahills: So many good prizes tonight, I got be careful before I go full Vegas this marathon I realize I bought the golden ticket and Y3K.
	7:57pm Uncle Michael: I have a winner picked and I haven't even turned it over to see who it is!
	7:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you NGH!
	7:58pm northguineahills: Thankuuuuus!
	7:58pm Stepchild: Pledge #2 incoming...
	7:59pm Stepchild: Gotta run for an hour, see and hear you again at 9 ffffooolks
	8:00pm doctorjazz: Congrats NGH and Scraps!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: This is so good
	8:02pm Uncle Michael: You all feel extremely enticed by these prizes. I can see it in your eyes.
	8:05pm Flash Strap: YOU NEED THIS ONDIOLINE DEMO REEL IT IS GOOD TO WANT THIS
	8:05pm Uncle Michael: They're powerless to resist.
	8:08pm northguineahills: If I get drunk w/in the next two weeks, I better stay away from the WFMU marathon (I'll still listen, who am I kidding).
	8:08pm Flash Strap: it's good to listen while drunk, NGH
	8:09pm Uncle Michael: It's good to pledge drunk!
	8:10pm northguineahills: It would be rude of me to try to get another prize.....
	8:10pm Uncle Michael: Don't stand on ceremony.
	8:11pm doctorjazz: Sounds like Spagheetti Western music, fun stuff!
	8:11pm Flash Strap: i know! so cool
	8:12pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm missing all the prize calls :(
	8:12pm Uncle Michael: Do you want the name in my left hand or the name in my right hand, Evan?
	8:14pm Uncle Michael: The winner of the Musique Concrete is... Cory in Illinois!
	8:15pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Cory!
	8:15pm doctorjazz: Time to run, I'll catch more in the car, thanks Evan!
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: The prizes on offer are so great that no matter how many have been spoken for, it's still worth tossing us a pledge of $20 or more.
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: Se ya Doc. Thanks for your pledge!
	8:17pm doctorjazz: See/hear you tomorrow, UM!
	8:18pm Flash Strap: Than YOU Doc!
	8:19pm Flash Strap: maybe your luck'll turn around tonight, Andrew!
	8:20pm Uncle Michael: Andrew's in the running with six prizes left!
	8:20pm Uncle Michael: This Syrinx is cool!
	8:21pm Flash Strap: I LOVE this Syrinx release
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Highly recommend getting in on this, potential pledgers!
	8:22pm Andrew Waterloo: My luck's been good :)
	8:23pm northguineahills: What everyone has said about Syrinx.
	8:24pm MrFab: Aaaah...that lovely feeling of listening guilt-free cuz I pledged..(kicks back, with smug grin on face)
	8:25pm Andrew Waterloo: I won the CD of Syrinx last year
	8:26pm Uncle Michael: We're 69% of the way to a modest goal. Push that bar so hard that we have to reconsider our reticence!
	8:27pm Flash Strap: a man so Fab should have no guilt when he listens! thanks for your support comrade Fab
	8:27pm Uncle Michael: Everyone needs to book a first class compartment on the smug train!
	8:28pm Flash Strap: What the Uncle said! we're doing pretty good, let's do a little better and blow the roof off this room!
	8:29pm Flash Strap: about announce a winner for Ondioline! keep those ear peeled
	8:30pm Andrew Waterloo: tear the roof off this mother
	8:31pm Doug Schulkind: I didn't know mothers had roofs, AW! TEAR IT OFF, FLASH STRAP!
	8:31pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Melinda!
	8:32pm Uncle Michael: I've played the Meridian Brothers on my show....they overlap with my love of weirdo cumbia.
	8:33pm Uncle Michael: TRIPLE LP! TRIPLE LP!
	8:35pm Uncle Michael: 72%! Let's roll!
	8:36pm Flash Strap: holy moly 72%!!!!!!!!
	8:37pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug!
	8:41pm MrFab: I didn't even know "weirdo cumbia" was a genre. Guess I now have an answer to: "So, what have you been into lately?"
	8:41pm βrian: I've been listening more to the Drummer Stream in the past year than to the Frequency Modulated stream. Why is that?
	8:41pm Flash Strap: oh man weirdo cumbia is a rich pocket
	8:42pm Flash Strap: ('cause it's where the best stuff is)
	8:43pm northguineahills: Ok, off I go I should leave work., thanks Evan and UM, see y'all on the boards later tonight!
	8:43pm cory: cya ngh
	8:43pm Doug Schulkind: Only $210 to go to reach the goal. REACH REACH REACH. PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!
	8:44pm northguineahills: enjoy the evening, cory!
	8:46pm Uncle Michael: Any time you want to move the Syrinx, I have a winner for you!
	8:48pm Uncle Michael: Tom? Bruce? Hey, now...
	8:48pm βrian: I've been given connubial demerits this evening because I was too weary to go hear some (probably excellent) live music. No crushing banality there, but still, I do have a cat in my lap.
	8:49pm Uncle Michael: Crushing felinity.
	8:49pm Doug Schulkind: Make the cat pledge, βrian.
	8:49pm Little Danny: Preach it brother!
	8:49pm Uncle Michael: βrian!
	8:52pm Flash Strap: Thank you Akiva and enjooooooy
	8:52pm Uncle Michael: If we're in the pledge doldrums I'll have to make the crew scull us into the wind. Let's get the sails luffing!
	8:53pm Uncle Michael: In fact, let's get the spinnaker billowing!
	8:54pm Flash Strap: LET'S GET THE SPINNAKER BILLOWING, LADS
	8:54pm βrian: I shall, but I want to be onsite with Mary W. and Meghan. In the meantime, I'll shower the DrummerDream with praise before lucre.
	8:55pm cory: this Meridian Brothers is awesome
	8:56pm Uncle Michael: We accept praise with two forms of I.D.
	8:56pm cory: thinking about dropping another 20 to try for it
	8:56pm Uncle Michael: I'm pissed that I can't win this.
	8:56pm Flash Strap: try it Cory!
	8:57pm βrian: @UM: Please tell me that isn't what rendered your suit so beautifully ochre!
	8:58pm cory: okay, i'm in
	8:59pm Uncle Michael: Crushing felinity? No, not cat urine.
	8:59pm βrian: Karmic merit falls to cory.
	9:00pm Uncle Michael: 74%!
	9:00pm Stepchild: Back! And pledge #3 is IN
	9:01pm βrian: @UM: Must've been weird to one-up David Bryne, though.
	9:02pm Uncle Michael: It's weirder to one-up myself.
	9:02pm Flash Strap: THANK YOU Stepchild!
	9:03pm Flash Strap: THANK YOU Cory!
	9:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Stepchild!
	9:04pm βrian: "#MeTooChen!" I like that. I don't have any idea why I know how to pronounce Metuchen, but I think it rhymes with escutcheon.
	9:04pm cory: muh-too-chin
	9:04pm Stepchild: essackly
	9:04pm Flash Strap: meh TOUCH en? Sorry if i said it wrong, everybody
	9:04pm cory: sru, MUH-too-chin
	9:04pm Uncle Michael: I want a chalice of snorkel, Stepchild.

	9:07pm βrian: @cory: Well, "Hoosier daddy?" [smack]
	9:07pm cory: my jersey in-laws will be so proud when i start busting out local references
	9:07pm cory: @Brian, that and the Klan are the two things every Hoosier tries to forget
	9:07pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth! It's so good, LD! I LOVE THIS RECORD
	9:08pm coelacanth∅: boy i'm knackered. i'm depending on the drummer stream to revive me. i don't want to go to bed yet.
	9:10pm βrian: Don't know much about Indiana, but I visited IU and was agog at the campus. Beautiful.
	9:10pm Uncle Michael: Only 51 minutes till te Cool Blue Flame with Little Danny...with his co-host...FLASH STRAP. What a marathon man. www.wfmu.org...
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: cory you better say "meh-tuh-chen" then. heard it said many dozens of times throughout my life; never heard it said any other way.
	9:10pm Stepchild: cheers!
	9:12pm Stepchild: @coel saying it like a native
	9:12pm cory: how is it spelled? there is a Lima, Indiana and we proudly say Lie-muh
	9:13pm Uncle Michael: I HAVE a winner picked, Evan.
	9:13pm MrFab: I made the mistake of pronouncing Milan, Tennessee like the Spanish city, instead of MIE-lin. The locals chuckled at me.
	9:14pm βrian: Lima, Ohio, too. Probably the same odd pronunciation.
	9:15pm cory: @Brian, just asked my Buckeye wife. it's the sane
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: Thank you for supporting the station, Daniel!
	9:15pm coelacanth∅: maybe lima indiana is named for lima beans?! (probably not) ...cory, metuchen (i think...but really testing my memory)
	9:15pm βrian: @MrFab: Italian, no? Yep, there's a "My-Lan" Michigan, too.
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: puh-PILL-yin, Nebraska
	9:16pm Doctorjazz: Out of the car, been enjoying Weirdo Cumbia (didn't know that was a genre either). And, lived neat Metuchen for years, Coel has it right.
	9:17pm βrian: Having grown up in Michigan, I've always liked Buckeyes. [The tree, I mean.]
	9:17pm cory: i can't even get my mom to pronounce her maiden name right,
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Let's raise that last $90 bucks!
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: ha -like people with the last name "weiner" who pronounce it like "whiner" ...shit, some people like weiners; who likes a whiner?!
	9:20pm Stepchild: PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE -- if only to be in the running for these prizes. I have got both the Cowley and the Ra vinyl -- you will be VERY pleased
	9:21pm βrian: @coel: Wouldn't that be "viner?"
	9:22pm Uncle Michael: I don't want to give Flash another winner till we get another pledge or six!
	9:22pm Flash Strap: What Stepchild said!
	9:22pm hyde: @coel haha
	9:23pm coelacanth∅: hmm, maybe it was originally that, but i've never heard it pronounced that way either.
	9:23pm βrian: I'm being kept in the stall for now. They say I'll give good cover next week. I have no idea what that means.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: Let's get all the way to the top, friends! Completely WRECK my set goal please
	9:24pm Stepchild: ONE PREMIUM PLEDGE PLEASE
	9:25pm βrian: Like Weimar, say.
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: We're less than a Premium level pledge away from the goal. Flash Straps premium is the shizzle.
	9:29pm Doug Schulkind: Something exciting is happening in the Explorers Room!
	9:29pm Flash Strap: ALMOST THERE
	9:31pm βrian: @UM: You're speaking in code. For our listening audience, What is a "Premium level pledge?"

	9:33pm coelacanth∅: someone be some kind of sandwich for crying out loud
	9:33pm Stepchild: I'm a toastie
	9:34pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, congrats and thank you!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: i'll just be a tuna salad on a rice cake then

	6:42pm Uncle Michael: Splitting up pledges and prize eligibility: You can split both one-time and monthly "Swag For Life pledges" across multiple shows. But to be eligible for prizes, the split amount has to divide into at least $20/show.
	6:43pm Flash Strap: Thanks UM! Let's raise some fliff do some prizes, Explorers! WFMU needs us!
	6:43pm Uncle Michael: I've seen the list of Flash Strap's prizes, and they're sweet.
	6:45pm Uncle Michael: Oh, fliff will be raised.
	6:46pm Flash Strap: They are really sweet. Next week too. I got some good goodies to pass around
	6:56pm doctorjazz: Hi guys! Putting you to work, UM! Hi Flash!
	6:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc! Doc's here! now we can get started!
	6:57pm listener james from westwood: How do, Evan and UM and all!! Make it fliff!
	6:58pm Uncle Michael: Doc! James!
	6:59pm Flash Strap: Hi James!
	6:59pm Uncle Michael: I'm stranded in the jungle!
	7:00pm hyde: i just saw an okapi with stripes that spelled wfmu
	7:01pm Uncle Michael: hyde!
	7:02pm listener james from westwood: Oh, man, major flashback: a high school friend lived near enough to a zoo that when we would all leave his house late at night, we could hear the peacocks in the distance.
	7:02pm Flash Strap: Hyde! Hey pal!
	7:03pm Flash Strap: i like the peacock sound, tho a lot of people don't. used to live next to a few
	7:04pm Uncle Michael: I used to live across the street from the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. With the front windows open, we could hear beasts. Now, my neighbor across the creek has peacocks.
	7:04pm hyde: Unca Mikey! one of the few things i miss about not driving back from NY every week on Friday is that now I'm never around for the Hinky Dinky...
	7:05pm Flash Strap: This is from our first prize to give away tonight! pretty cool comp from We Want Sounds
	7:05pm Uncle Michael: Miss you in the comments, hyde.
	7:06pm hyde: i miss being there. some day i'll have a friday off
	7:06pm Uncle Michael: Get in on some Inner Peace for a pledge of $20 or more!
	7:08pm Flash Strap: This is our only CD of the night, so vinyl haters take notice!
	7:09pm Flash Strap: on the plus side, everything else tonight is hot juicy wax! YES
	7:09pm Uncle Michael: Yep, after this...it's all slabs of wax!
	7:09pm northguineahills: @UM: I've been letting the FMU office know in the notes that each pledge is $x/$n to make it easier for them to keep track.
	7:09pm Scraps: h’lo! Any CDs (I hope) ?
	7:10pm Uncle Michael: This first prize is the only CD tonight, Scraps.
	7:10pm Scraps: SHIT. Oh well.
	7:11pm northguineahills: Vinyl would tickle me turquoise. (the marathon is one of the few loopholes I have of acquiring physical musical media, but, cds work as well).
	7:11pm Uncle Michael: NGH, I don't know algebra, but thanks, I guess!
	7:12pm northguineahills: x= specific amount. n=total amount.
	7:12pm hyde: aw, i have really fond memories of seeing the Arkestra play this one live at Mass Art in Boston circa 1980
	7:13pm Flash Strap: more cds next week, Scraps. but the one we have, it's a good one!
	7:13pm Uncle Michael: Ah, as long as you're not expecting them to credit dollar amounts to shows other than where the dollars landed....
	7:13pm northguineahills: On Doug's show a few years back, I was busy at work, and didn't know I received a big prize, so it was a welcome surprise when the swag finally came.
	7:13pm Stepchild: I know division, but am going to opt for multiplication instead! Pledge #1 incoming!!!!!!!
	7:14pm Uncle Michael: Stepchild!
	7:14pm Flash Strap: this comp put together in part by Irwin Chusid this version of Space is the Place, new to me, has been blowing my mind since this came out
	7:14pm Flash Strap: Stepchild! hellllo!
	7:17pm Stepchild: Hello from the surface. Going back under now.
	7:20pm Andrew Waterloo: I do like this version of Space is the Place
	7:20pm Stepchild: This comp, is easy to love. Unfortunately for those easily afflicted with Acquisitive Sun Ra Syndrome, however, the temptation to dig out all of the source sessions is an everpresent danger
	7:20pm Uncle Michael: We need some more names in the hopper for these prizes! Step right up!
	7:20pm Uncle Michael: Andrew!
	7:24pm doctorjazz: I have a decent piece of gear for ripping vinyl, but think I've only done it about 3 times, such a PIA!
	7:27pm Uncle Michael: I'd like to see some more premium-level pledges!
	7:27pm Stepchild: even geared up, it's a daunting thing -- especially if one is "of a certain age" and has a largish vinyl collection, one begins to ask "how many more times am I going to listen to this recording I am ripping in real time and editing in extra time?"
	7:27pm Uncle Michael: YW!
	7:27pm Stepchild: gonna get there Michael, there and beyond
	7:28pm doctorjazz: That's me, @Stepchild. Think I'd die before I finished ripping all the vinyl.
	7:29pm Flash Strap: It's more fun rippin' when you're just grabbing choice tracks, tbh
	7:30pm Flash Strap: yeah, what UM said, I need more people to hear this premium o' mine! labor of love it is
	7:31pm Uncle Michael: Let's get on that widget! Don't make Evan go all Dr. Gene Scott on you all.
	7:32pm Stepchild: if you've merely done as well as prior years, you're not just blowing smoke Flash -- but I'll bet you've outdone yerself
	7:33pm Stepchild: gzzzzappp
	7:33pm Flash Strap: aw shucks Stepchild!
	7:34pm Flash Strap: This LP is so cool
	7:34pm Uncle Michael: $20 or more and you can WIN this gzzzzappp...I mean Don Cherry record!
	7:34pm northguineahills: You think I would rip vinyl, seeing as I've lived at my house for 7 months and I have yet to hook up my gramophones.
	7:41pm Gary: Howdy, gang!
	7:42pm Uncle Michael: I have a name, written on a slip of paper. This person has won the Inner Peace CD. I'm the only one who knows...
	7:42pm Uncle Michael: Gary!
	7:43pm Uncle Michael: Congrats, Scraps!
	7:43pm listener james from westwood: Scraaaps!
	7:43pm Stepchild: perfect congrats
	7:43pm Scraps: Argh. I tried to say why, and stay around, but I kept getting mad explaining why. 2018 is Wax Ascending (except Bodega Pop, bless them). It’s not just you, so I don’t want to get mad at you. Jeez, I named named you (among others) in my Swag 4 Life. I’m just frustrated (and surprised) at the level of vinyl takeover this year. I thought there was more that doesn’t play vinyl, like me. But maybe I’m wrong. Anyway, I have to go right now. Have fun (sincerely). I hope you get your goal. Cheers.
	7:43pm Little Danny: Go Flash Go! Hi all!
	7:44pm Flash Strap: Hi Gary! Hi LD!
	7:44pm northguineahills: Nice Scraps! You've been cleaning up this marathon!
	7:45pm Uncle Michael: Scraps, you won a CD.
	7:46pm northguineahills: @Scraps: Well, Gary doesn't have a turntable, first of all. It would be hypocritical if he gave out vinyl on Bodega Pop.
	7:46pm Uncle Michael: Danny!
	7:47pm Flash Strap: yeah Scraps you won a CD pal!
	7:49pm Uncle Michael: We're giving away sweet vinyl for the rest of the show. To make that happen, we need PLEDGES! $20 or more gets your name written on a slip of paper and placed face-down on my flannel duvet cover.
	7:50pm Gary: True -- and I did pick up all my prizes a bodegas this year, and bodegas tend to sell CDs and cassettes. Although, having said that, I know of four or five places that do have limited vinyl offerings
	7:50pm Little Danny: Oh man this "Taboo"!
	7:51pm hyde: gonna go to bat for the non-swag-ers. you can send money in and get nothing in return! i just did. maybe you'll still even to put it in as a charitable deduction next year? probably not. BUT WHO CARES
	7:53pm Stepchild: @Gary & Flash Yup, & Whereas, and please correct me, Explorer's Room is a bit of a vinyl heaven of a program space, the black wax is most apropos here
	7:55pm Flash Strap: indeed vinyl is much trafficked here
	7:56pm northguineahills: So many good prizes tonight, I got be careful before I go full Vegas this marathon I realize I bought the golden ticket and Y3K.
	7:57pm Uncle Michael: I have a winner picked and I haven't even turned it over to see who it is!
	7:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you NGH!
	7:58pm northguineahills: Thankuuuuus!
	7:58pm Stepchild: Pledge #2 incoming...
	7:59pm Stepchild: Gotta run for an hour, see and hear you again at 9 ffffooolks
	8:00pm doctorjazz: Congrats NGH and Scraps!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: This is so good
	8:02pm Uncle Michael: You all feel extremely enticed by these prizes. I can see it in your eyes.
	8:05pm Flash Strap: YOU NEED THIS ONDIOLINE DEMO REEL IT IS GOOD TO WANT THIS
	8:05pm Uncle Michael: They're powerless to resist.
	8:08pm northguineahills: If I get drunk w/in the next two weeks, I better stay away from the WFMU marathon (I'll still listen, who am I kidding).
	8:08pm Flash Strap: it's good to listen while drunk, NGH
	8:09pm Uncle Michael: It's good to pledge drunk!
	8:10pm northguineahills: It would be rude of me to try to get another prize.....
	8:10pm Uncle Michael: Don't stand on ceremony.
	8:11pm doctorjazz: Sounds like Spagheetti Western music, fun stuff!
	8:11pm Flash Strap: i know! so cool
	8:12pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm missing all the prize calls :(
	8:12pm Uncle Michael: Do you want the name in my left hand or the name in my right hand, Evan?
	8:14pm Uncle Michael: The winner of the Musique Concrete is... Cory in Illinois!
	8:15pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Cory!
	8:15pm doctorjazz: Time to run, I'll catch more in the car, thanks Evan!
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: The prizes on offer are so great that no matter how many have been spoken for, it's still worth tossing us a pledge of $20 or more.
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: Se ya Doc. Thanks for your pledge!
	8:17pm doctorjazz: See/hear you tomorrow, UM!
	8:18pm Flash Strap: Than YOU Doc!
	8:19pm Flash Strap: maybe your luck'll turn around tonight, Andrew!
	8:20pm Uncle Michael: Andrew's in the running with six prizes left!
	8:20pm Uncle Michael: This Syrinx is cool!
	8:21pm Flash Strap: I LOVE this Syrinx release
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Highly recommend getting in on this, potential pledgers!
	8:22pm Andrew Waterloo: My luck's been good :)
	8:23pm northguineahills: What everyone has said about Syrinx.
	8:24pm MrFab: Aaaah...that lovely feeling of listening guilt-free cuz I pledged..(kicks back, with smug grin on face)
	8:25pm Andrew Waterloo: I won the CD of Syrinx last year
	8:26pm Uncle Michael: We're 69% of the way to a modest goal. Push that bar so hard that we have to reconsider our reticence!
	8:27pm Flash Strap: a man so Fab should have no guilt when he listens! thanks for your support comrade Fab
	8:27pm Uncle Michael: Everyone needs to book a first class compartment on the smug train!
	8:28pm Flash Strap: What the Uncle said! we're doing pretty good, let's do a little better and blow the roof off this room!
	8:29pm Flash Strap: about announce a winner for Ondioline! keep those ear peeled
	8:30pm Andrew Waterloo: tear the roof off this mother
	8:31pm Doug Schulkind: I didn't know mothers had roofs, AW! TEAR IT OFF, FLASH STRAP!
	8:31pm Uncle Michael: Thank you Melinda!
	8:32pm Uncle Michael: I've played the Meridian Brothers on my show....they overlap with my love of weirdo cumbia.
	8:33pm Uncle Michael: TRIPLE LP! TRIPLE LP!
	8:35pm Uncle Michael: 72%! Let's roll!
	8:36pm Flash Strap: holy moly 72%!!!!!!!!
	8:37pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug!
	8:41pm MrFab: I didn't even know "weirdo cumbia" was a genre. Guess I now have an answer to: "So, what have you been into lately?"
	8:41pm βrian: I've been listening more to the Drummer Stream in the past year than to the Frequency Modulated stream. Why is that?
	8:41pm Flash Strap: oh man weirdo cumbia is a rich pocket
	8:42pm Flash Strap: ('cause it's where the best stuff is)
	8:43pm northguineahills: Ok, off I go I should leave work., thanks Evan and UM, see y'all on the boards later tonight!
	8:43pm cory: cya ngh

	8:44pm northguineahills: enjoy the evening, cory!
	8:46pm Uncle Michael: Any time you want to move the Syrinx, I have a winner for you!
	8:48pm Uncle Michael: Tom? Bruce? Hey, now...
	8:48pm βrian: I've been given connubial demerits this evening because I was too weary to go hear some (probably excellent) live music. No crushing banality there, but still, I do have a cat in my lap.
	8:49pm Uncle Michael: Crushing felinity.
	8:49pm Doug Schulkind: Make the cat pledge, βrian.
	8:49pm Little Danny: Preach it brother!
	8:49pm Uncle Michael: βrian!
	8:52pm Flash Strap: Thank you Akiva and enjooooooy
	8:52pm Uncle Michael: If we're in the pledge doldrums I'll have to make the crew scull us into the wind. Let's get the sails luffing!
	8:53pm Uncle Michael: In fact, let's get the spinnaker billowing!
	8:54pm Flash Strap: LET'S GET THE SPINNAKER BILLOWING, LADS
	8:54pm βrian: I shall, but I want to be onsite with Mary W. and Meghan. In the meantime, I'll shower the DrummerDream with praise before lucre.
	8:55pm cory: this Meridian Brothers is awesome
	8:56pm Uncle Michael: We accept praise with two forms of I.D.
	8:56pm cory: thinking about dropping another 20 to try for it
	8:56pm Uncle Michael: I'm pissed that I can't win this.
	8:56pm Flash Strap: try it Cory!
	8:57pm βrian: @UM: Please tell me that isn't what rendered your suit so beautifully ochre!
	8:58pm cory: okay, i'm in
	8:59pm Uncle Michael: Crushing felinity? No, not cat urine.
	8:59pm βrian: Karmic merit falls to cory.
	9:00pm Uncle Michael: 74%!
	9:00pm Stepchild: Back! And pledge #3 is IN
	9:01pm βrian: @UM: Must've been weird to one-up David Bryne, though.
	9:02pm Uncle Michael: It's weirder to one-up myself.
	9:02pm Flash Strap: THANK YOU Stepchild!
	9:03pm Flash Strap: THANK YOU Cory!
	9:03pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Stepchild!
	9:04pm βrian: "#MeTooChen!" I like that. I don't have any idea why I know how to pronounce Metuchen, but I think it rhymes with escutcheon.
	9:04pm cory: muh-too-chin
	9:04pm Stepchild: essackly
	9:04pm Flash Strap: meh TOUCH en? Sorry if i said it wrong, everybody
	9:04pm cory: sru, MUH-too-chin
	9:04pm Uncle Michael: I want a chalice of snorkel, Stepchild.
	9:04pm Stepchild: it's an uh, not an oo
	9:05pm cory: i'm nor even sure if i'm from indiana or illinois
	9:06pm cory: ah thanks!
	9:06pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Explorers
	9:06pm Little Danny: My god this Finis Africae track is transcendent
	9:06pm Little Danny: Heya Coel!
	9:06pm Uncle Michael: Coel!
	9:06pm Stepchild: @UM updated chalice avatar incoming is best I can offer
	9:07pm βrian: @cory: Well, "Hoosier daddy?" [smack]
	9:07pm cory: my jersey in-laws will be so proud when i start busting out local references
	9:07pm cory: @Brian, that and the Klan are the two things every Hoosier tries to forget
	9:07pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth! It's so good, LD! I LOVE THIS RECORD
	9:08pm coelacanth∅: boy i'm knackered. i'm depending on the drummer stream to revive me. i don't want to go to bed yet.
	9:10pm βrian: Don't know much about Indiana, but I visited IU and was agog at the campus. Beautiful.
	9:10pm Uncle Michael: Only 51 minutes till te Cool Blue Flame with Little Danny...with his co-host...FLASH STRAP. What a marathon man. www.wfmu.org...
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: cory you better say "meh-tuh-chen" then. heard it said many dozens of times throughout my life; never heard it said any other way.
	9:10pm Stepchild: cheers!
	9:12pm Stepchild: @coel saying it like a native
	9:12pm cory: how is it spelled? there is a Lima, Indiana and we proudly say Lie-muh
	9:13pm Uncle Michael: I HAVE a winner picked, Evan.
	9:13pm MrFab: I made the mistake of pronouncing Milan, Tennessee like the Spanish city, instead of MIE-lin. The locals chuckled at me.
	9:14pm βrian: Lima, Ohio, too. Probably the same odd pronunciation.
	9:15pm cory: @Brian, just asked my Buckeye wife. it's the sane
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: Thank you for supporting the station, Daniel!
	9:15pm coelacanth∅: maybe lima indiana is named for lima beans?! (probably not) ...cory, metuchen (i think...but really testing my memory)
	9:15pm βrian: @MrFab: Italian, no? Yep, there's a "My-Lan" Michigan, too.
	9:15pm Uncle Michael: puh-PILL-yin, Nebraska
	9:16pm Doctorjazz: Out of the car, been enjoying Weirdo Cumbia (didn't know that was a genre either). And, lived neat Metuchen for years, Coel has it right.
	9:17pm βrian: Having grown up in Michigan, I've always liked Buckeyes. [The tree, I mean.]
	9:17pm cory: i can't even get my mom to pronounce her maiden name right,
	9:18pm Uncle Michael: Let's raise that last $90 bucks!
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: ha -like people with the last name "weiner" who pronounce it like "whiner" ...shit, some people like weiners; who likes a whiner?!
	9:20pm Stepchild: PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE -- if only to be in the running for these prizes. I have got both the Cowley and the Ra vinyl -- you will be VERY pleased
	9:21pm βrian: @coel: Wouldn't that be "viner?"
	9:22pm Uncle Michael: I don't want to give Flash another winner till we get another pledge or six!
	9:22pm Flash Strap: What Stepchild said!
	9:22pm hyde: @coel haha
	9:23pm coelacanth∅: hmm, maybe it was originally that, but i've never heard it pronounced that way either.
	9:23pm βrian: I'm being kept in the stall for now. They say I'll give good cover next week. I have no idea what that means.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: Let's get all the way to the top, friends! Completely WRECK my set goal please
	9:24pm Stepchild: ONE PREMIUM PLEDGE PLEASE
	9:25pm βrian: Like Weimar, say.
	9:28pm Uncle Michael: We're less than a Premium level pledge away from the goal. Flash Straps premium is the shizzle.
