Listener comments!
	♥ 7:01pm northguineahills: so, no music from revolutionary Iran?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:03pm Webhamster Henry: Hear you fine! Welcome to the bodega!
	♥ 7:03pm TDK60: Hola Bodega DJ Gary. Bring on the Persian. Hola NGH: ?que tal?
	♥ 7:04pm Gary: NGH! Henry! TDK60! Well, it looks like my broadcasting computer is frozen, but still sending out a signal, so we'll just go with it ... lemme know if we drop out
	7:05pm JakeGould: Hey Gary!
	7:05pm david_: The Shah and Ayatollah are dancing cheek to cheek
	7:06pm JakeGould: Also that strong man the Shah had to beat up opposition members!
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: Jake! David!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:07pm chresti: Hi Gary! Bodega friends!
	♥ 7:08pm Gary: This track comes c/o Jesse Kaminsky -- who did a monster Iranian 45 show a while back on this very stream
	♥ 7:08pm Gary: Chresti!
	7:08pm JakeGould: FWIW, Bay Ridge and other parts of deep Brooklyn and Staten Island went blue last night thanks to the work of lots of Middle Eastern women getting out the vote. Thank a Yemeni or Palestinian woman in Brooklyn for getting rid of Marty Golden and Dan Donovan.
	♥ 7:09pm TDK60: Used to know a lot of Iranian exchange students way back in the '70s/'80s. Some lefties, others religious, some more party animals.
	♥ 7:09pm Gary: Yay!
	♥ 7:09pm Gary: Here's that great show of Jesse's: wfmu.org...
	7:11pm JakeGould: Ever want to blow someone’s mind? Show them pictures from the Middle East in the 1960s and 1970s. Like another planet. Wish it could come back.
	♥ 7:12pm Gary: Indeed
	♥ 7:14pm hyde: hello!
	♥ 7:16pm Gary: Hyyyde!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:16pm Webhamster Henry: Nice electronics here. At college there were two Iranian brothers with fancy cars (they were clearly from the Shah's side of the equation).
	♥ 7:17pm northguineahills: @TDK: Better then yesterday, thanks!
	♥ 7:22pm Gary: We'll be hearing a couple more electronic cuts a bit later this evening
	7:27pm JakeGould: Just read through this and the accompanying slideshow. Pretty good read and some of the extremities—wealth, forced secularism and such alienating a religious base—seem pertinent to the U.S. nowadays as well. allthatsinteresting.com...
	♥ 7:29pm Gary: That looks terrific; thanks, Jake
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:32pm Uncle Michael: Sounding good, Gary. maybe you could bump the music up a smidgen...but eh.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:33pm chresti: sounds perfect
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: Uncle Michael!
	♥ 7:39pm northguineahills: Ok, leaving work, hear ya at home.
	♥ 7:40pm Gary: See ya, NGH!
	7:40pm JakeGould: FWIW, the bed music (at least to me) sounded a bit distant.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:40pm chresti: I saw an anti-shah march while having coffee, in 1979 ish, in Beverly Hills. Many Iranians on the westside of LA
	7:41pm glenn: hello, americans. how's things? www.thebeaverton.com...
	♥ 7:42pm Gary: Glenn! I'll up the bed music next break
	♥ 7:42pm Gary: Haha, just clicked the link
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:42pm chresti: oh dear!
	7:43pm JakeGould: Is it like Goatse? Or two girls, one cup?
	♥ 7:44pm Gary: Apparently we kept Glenn up last night
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:44pm chresti: there are many Canadians here
	♥ 7:44pm TDK60: ..things are "great" .. glenn.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:45pm chresti: the best!
	♥ 7:45pm hyde: i'm going to miss Canada
	♥ 7:46pm Gary: Me too -- I was just there this summer
	7:47pm JakeGould: Depends on where you are, but look at my comment near the top about local elections. Would have been awesome if Democrats got the Senate, but we got the House. Trump won’t get a clear path to nothing.
	♥ 7:47pm Gary: Oh well, I'm sure somebody else nice will move upstairs
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm chresti: some of my best friends are Canadian
	7:51pm JakeGould: What about just having a northern shore? Like screw the Great Lakes, let’s just connect the oceans.
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: Haha, not a bad idea
	♥ 7:54pm Gary: Here's a piece I wrote after seeing Yellow Dogs live with my friend Carol in 2012: opencitymag.aaww.org...
	♥ 7:58pm TDK60: I was hoping there'd be a secret escape outta this "great again" nation, up north to Canada on a new sorta Underground Railroad. Oh well, it's all water.
	♥ 7:58pm Franco Twinkie: The Golden Ring should be on top of the DJ, not under. Iran's best surf band.
	♥ 8:02pm northguineahills: Back again!
	♥ 8:02pm Gary: Haha, true enough, Franco T!
	8:03pm Doug Schulkind: I briefly dated a woman in the band The Ordinaires. Different Ordinaires, however. Good evening Gary and l’audience extraordinaire!
	♥ 8:04pm Gary: Speaking of extrOrdinaire ... Doug!
	♥ 8:04pm northguineahills: The Golden Ring, not to be confused w/ the Golden Earring.
	♥ 8:08pm Franco Twinkie: Along with Pakistan's Tafo Bros. - the Golden Ring are some of the best instrumental rock anywhere. To bad the stuff is so hard to find.
	♥ 8:09pm Gary: I got a whole album if you want me to DropBox it to ya, Franco
	♥ 8:10pm TDK60: Anyone know the names of the older acoustic stringed instruments? think I heard a zither earlier.
	♥ 8:11pm Franco Twinkie: Whaaa!?! Lets hook up - later!
	♥ 8:11pm Gary: The one we're hearing now is a setar
	♥ 8:12pm TDK60: setar! A cousin of the Indian sitar?
	♥ 8:15pm Gary: Mebbe. It had 3 strings at first and then, 250 years ago, they added a 4th
	♥ 8:15pm Gary: VERY thin neck, tho
	♥ 8:22pm TDK60: less strings.
	8:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Lovin' it all, Gary
	♥ 8:23pm Gary: Kenzo!
	8:27pm tim abdellah: سلام گاری و دوستان. چطور همه هستی؟
	♥ 8:27pm TDK60: This has affinity with Bollywood stuff maybe; very groovy.
	♥ 8:28pm Gary: Tim! We're doing great, how about you?!?
	♥ 8:28pm Gary: Agree, TDK!
	8:29pm tim abdellah: Very well, thanks!! Sad I've missed the last couple of weeks - especially the Singles Going Steady show!
	♥ 8:29pm northguineahills: Boogie!
	♥ 8:30pm hyde: this set is aces
	8:37pm chresti: Yodeling
	♥ 8:37pm Gary: It is a kind of yodeling
	8:41pm Doug Schulkind: It is a kind of gorgeous.
	♥ 8:41pm Gary: A good chunk of that show was from your blog, Tim!
	♥ 8:42pm TDK60: Is there any influence from Arabic culture in Persian music? vice versa?
	♥ 8:44pm Gary: Gosh. I'm not really sure, I would imagine so, but I don't know its history well enough to say what, how much, etc.
	♥ 8:48pm Gary: There are passages about the seamlessness transition between desert musics, which includes Iran, in that Deben Battachayra 4-CD set we heard last set
	♥ 8:49pm Gary: ... so, certainly, Battachayra thought so. But for him, it was all along a (geographic-->cultural) spectrum
	♥ 8:57pm TDK60: I assume there's influence both ways, don't know for sure, should look it up.
	♥ 8:59pm Gary: Start here! www.quora.com...
	♥ 9:00pm TDK60: ..of course Islam's spread involved use of Arabic language, often.
	♥ 9:07pm coelacanth∅: hey Gary & Bodegatrons
	♥ 9:07pm Gary: coelacanth∅!
	9:08pm Erik B in Minnesota: Hey, I just got the internet back today and tuned in right away! - Erik B.
	♥ 9:10pm Gary: Whaaa ... ??? Hey there, Erik! Just in time for this incredible electronic track
	♥ 9:11pm TDK60: ..this is wonderful and annoying at the same time.
	♥ 9:12pm TDK60: heh heh
	9:12pm Erik B in Minnesota: I know. Loving it. How do you all like Minnesota punking the rest of the US with the first female Muslim senator? Booyah!!
	♥ 9:12pm Gary: It does kind of feel like your bones are being scraped
	♥ 9:13pm Gary: Haha, that response was meant for TDK ... super thrilled about a number of the election results, including that one!
	♥ 9:17pm coelacanth∅: the scraping sorta sound sounds like a piece i made, and the "instrument" used was a toy of some sort my nephew had that had stiff wires coming out, like a whisk, only they had ends, and many more of them than a whisk - just running it along a door and other things. i can't think of it as annoying!
	♥ 9:17pm Gary: But Erik ... what happened to your internet?
	♥ 9:17pm northguineahills: That Aras was nice!
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: I think you can find them on Bandcamp, NGH
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: ... and this is still them!
	♥ 9:19pm Gary: aras.bandcamp.com...
	9:19pm Erik B in Minnesota: They "ran out of internet" in our area. That's what the sales guys said, "We're out of Internet in your area." The company got a grant to establish more rural internet connections and gave it all to their executives. That's what the attorney general's office told me.
	♥ 9:20pm northguineahills: Well, Erik, you elected the first Muslim Rep to the House 12 years ago, so, kudos!
	♥ 9:21pm Gary: OMG. That's ... that's crazy.
	9:21pm Erik B in Minnesota: He's now our state attorney general! I had a 90 year old guy tell me this morning to get ready because as of January 1, Minnesota is under Sharia law. True story.
	♥ 9:22pm Ike: Hello hello hi hi hello!
	♥ 9:23pm coelacanth∅: i'd much prefer all political positions in this country be held by agnostics.
	♥ 9:25pm Gary: Ike!
	♥ 9:25pm TDK60: we're out of internet; no strawberries either.
	9:25pm Erik B in Minnesota: Sorry. I'll drop the politics. I got all jazzed up by some of the results last night.
	♥ 9:25pm Gary: Erik: Google "sharia in the usa kominas"
	♥ 9:26pm Gary: Don't stop ... WE'RE ALL JAZZED UP!!!
	♥ 9:26pm northguineahills: My mother told me the same thing about all Muslims last Xmas (sharia law). Still looking for my eyes that rolled out of my sockets (hard to do). At least my father refuted her.
	9:26pm Jill B.: Hi Gary. Stopping by for a short visit. Everyone head for the streets at 5:00 pm tomorrow evening to protest the firing of Sessions. Find an event near you !
	♥ 9:27pm Gary: Hi Mom!!! See you guys soon ...
	♥ 9:27pm TDK60: Erik be calm; my impression is most here are of a possibly progressive persuasion.
	♥ 9:29pm coelacanth∅: the results give reason for hope, that's for sure.
	9:29pm Erik B in Minnesota: TDK60 - I'm impressed by your handle. In 1980-83, my entire music collection was on TDK60's. Is that the reference?
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: (despite my revulsion to organized religion)
	♥ 9:31pm hyde: i used to generally buy TDK cassettes too
	♥ 9:32pm Ike: I don't mind talking politics! Last night was disappointing in some ways but at least we finally beat the Republican state senator in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, who ran over an old lady and killed her, impersonated cops while screaming at cyclists, etc. for the last 16 years and kept getting re-elected anyway... until now! I'm sure the Democratic-leaning Arabic community of Bay Ridge played a big role in that flip. Hooray!
	♥ 9:32pm coelacanth∅: i tried every brand i found, at least once. nothing came close to tdk. still have hundreds of 'em and they all still play and sound good.
	♥ 9:34pm Gary: Tokyo Denkikagaku Kōgyō (Tokyo Electronics and Chemicals)
	9:34pm Erik B in Minnesota: I just heard an early Pink Floyd lick in this tune. I can't place the song.
	♥ 9:35pm TDK60: Erik that's the reference; yet, I later realized I had actually used more TDK90s back then. Also used (and still use) Maxells. Just found some old Memorex mix-tapes from the early 80s that are now shot. But on the comments board the other night an artist came forward who collects old tapes for art pieces. I'm going to send to him.
	9:39pm Erik B in Minnesota: Gary, wasn't "Larry Grogan" a fictional character we made up?
	9:39pm chresti: I also bought TDK 90s. My player is out of service though
	9:40pm Erik B in Minnesota: No, my bad. It was Larry Scroggins.
	♥ 9:40pm Franco Twinkie: Good swoon factor on this one!
	♥ 9:41pm Gary: Scroggins! There actually is I believe a real Scroggins scholar who specializes in non-mainstream poetry, if I'm remembering correctly
	♥ 9:43pm Gary: Larry Grogan's Testify! Alvin Robinson and a Soul Food Buffet: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:44pm coelacanth∅: i had maybe 100-200 maxells. some sounded great and still do but a too big proportion of them failed quickly. i only had one memorex and it sounded like crap from the get-go. the other terrible ones were basf, and sony. (& some fly by night brands i bought one each of) the only tdk i had problems with was their metal ("m") tape, supposedly the "professional", best one. most of them sounded bad fairly soon.
	9:44pm Funky16corners: Gary!
	9:45pm Erik B in Minnesota: Wow. This has been fun. I think this whole "Internet" thing might really turn into something!
	♥ 9:45pm hyde: this one is heavy
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: There's the man of the (next) (2) hour(s)!
	♥ 9:46pm TDK60: coelacanth∅: thanks for your "Concise History of the Early Eighties"!!
	♥ 9:47pm Gary: Larry, the computer I'm using to broadcast froze and so it may take me a bit longer to get off the stream tonight, though I'll try to do it as quickly as possible -- I just know from past similar situations that when the computer freezes like this I have to unplug it to actually disconnect
	9:47pm Funky16corners: Ok Gary. I’ll watch from this end
	♥ 9:48pm Gary: I'm a big believe that the "internet" is going to change the way we do some things in life ... not sure what, though.
	9:49pm Erik B in Minnesota: It's almost like it could become an "information superhighway!"
	♥ 9:49pm Gary: Information wants to be super!
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: Informaton wants to be super-high?
	♥ 9:54pm coelacanth∅: haha tdk! late 70s through the mid 90s but okay! (i stupidly resisted cds for years and new records were no longer available so i bought lots of cassettes all the way up to about 1997)
	♥ 9:56pm Ike: Where's all the love for Fuji DR-II cassettes?! (Maxell was good too.)
	♥ 9:58pm Franco Twinkie: A friend of mine lived in Tehran pre-revolution. Been a nice Jewish girl from Pasadena, she stole a Christmas tree from a hotel lobby and was chased down the street.until she picked up a big rock and threw at her pursuer and knocked him down.
	9:58pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:58pm TDK60: coel: I shouldn't have been so time restricted: of course, my tape heydays were, late '70s til about '89-'90; CDs came in then but I continued with LPs and tapes too.
	♥ 9:58pm coelacanth∅: Gary @9.48 i think it's a passing craze. like the 4-wheeled motor vehicle, (according to karl benz)
	♥ 9:59pm northguineahills: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	♥ 9:59pm TDK60: ..great sounds tonight Gary. Thanks.
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:02pm hyde: thanks!

	♥ 7:47pm Gary: Oh well, I'm sure somebody else nice will move upstairs
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm chresti: some of my best friends are Canadian
	7:51pm JakeGould: What about just having a northern shore? Like screw the Great Lakes, let’s just connect the oceans.
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: Haha, not a bad idea
	♥ 7:54pm Gary: Here's a piece I wrote after seeing Yellow Dogs live with my friend Carol in 2012: opencitymag.aaww.org...
	♥ 7:58pm TDK60: I was hoping there'd be a secret escape outta this "great again" nation, up north to Canada on a new sorta Underground Railroad. Oh well, it's all water.
	♥ 7:58pm Franco Twinkie: The Golden Ring should be on top of the DJ, not under. Iran's best surf band.
	♥ 8:02pm northguineahills: Back again!
	♥ 8:02pm Gary: Haha, true enough, Franco T!
	8:03pm Doug Schulkind: I briefly dated a woman in the band The Ordinaires. Different Ordinaires, however. Good evening Gary and l’audience extraordinaire!
	♥ 8:04pm Gary: Speaking of extrOrdinaire ... Doug!
	♥ 8:04pm northguineahills: The Golden Ring, not to be confused w/ the Golden Earring.
	♥ 8:08pm Franco Twinkie: Along with Pakistan's Tafo Bros. - the Golden Ring are some of the best instrumental rock anywhere. To bad the stuff is so hard to find.
	♥ 8:09pm Gary: I got a whole album if you want me to DropBox it to ya, Franco
	♥ 8:10pm TDK60: Anyone know the names of the older acoustic stringed instruments? think I heard a zither earlier.
	♥ 8:11pm Franco Twinkie: Whaaa!?! Lets hook up - later!
	♥ 8:11pm Gary: The one we're hearing now is a setar
	♥ 8:12pm TDK60: setar! A cousin of the Indian sitar?
	♥ 8:15pm Gary: Mebbe. It had 3 strings at first and then, 250 years ago, they added a 4th
	♥ 8:15pm Gary: VERY thin neck, tho
	♥ 8:22pm TDK60: less strings.
	8:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Lovin' it all, Gary
	♥ 8:23pm Gary: Kenzo!
	8:27pm tim abdellah: سلام گاری و دوستان. چطور همه هستی؟
	♥ 8:27pm TDK60: This has affinity with Bollywood stuff maybe; very groovy.
	♥ 8:28pm Gary: Tim! We're doing great, how about you?!?
	♥ 8:28pm Gary: Agree, TDK!
	8:29pm tim abdellah: Very well, thanks!! Sad I've missed the last couple of weeks - especially the Singles Going Steady show!
	♥ 8:29pm northguineahills: Boogie!
	♥ 8:30pm hyde: this set is aces
	8:37pm chresti: Yodeling
	♥ 8:37pm Gary: It is a kind of yodeling
	8:41pm Doug Schulkind: It is a kind of gorgeous.
	♥ 8:41pm Gary: A good chunk of that show was from your blog, Tim!
	♥ 8:42pm TDK60: Is there any influence from Arabic culture in Persian music? vice versa?
	♥ 8:44pm Gary: Gosh. I'm not really sure, I would imagine so, but I don't know its history well enough to say what, how much, etc.
	♥ 8:48pm Gary: There are passages about the seamlessness transition between desert musics, which includes Iran, in that Deben Battachayra 4-CD set we heard last set
	♥ 8:49pm Gary: ... so, certainly, Battachayra thought so. But for him, it was all along a (geographic-->cultural) spectrum
	♥ 8:57pm TDK60: I assume there's influence both ways, don't know for sure, should look it up.
	♥ 8:59pm Gary: Start here! www.quora.com...
	♥ 9:00pm TDK60: ..of course Islam's spread involved use of Arabic language, often.
	♥ 9:07pm coelacanth∅: hey Gary & Bodegatrons
	♥ 9:07pm Gary: coelacanth∅!
	9:08pm Erik B in Minnesota: Hey, I just got the internet back today and tuned in right away! - Erik B.
	♥ 9:10pm Gary: Whaaa ... ??? Hey there, Erik! Just in time for this incredible electronic track
	♥ 9:11pm TDK60: ..this is wonderful and annoying at the same time.
	♥ 9:12pm TDK60: heh heh
	9:12pm Erik B in Minnesota: I know. Loving it. How do you all like Minnesota punking the rest of the US with the first female Muslim senator? Booyah!!
	♥ 9:12pm Gary: It does kind of feel like your bones are being scraped
	♥ 9:13pm Gary: Haha, that response was meant for TDK ... super thrilled about a number of the election results, including that one!
	♥ 9:17pm coelacanth∅: the scraping sorta sound sounds like a piece i made, and the "instrument" used was a toy of some sort my nephew had that had stiff wires coming out, like a whisk, only they had ends, and many more of them than a whisk - just running it along a door and other things. i can't think of it as annoying!
	♥ 9:17pm Gary: But Erik ... what happened to your internet?
	♥ 9:17pm northguineahills: That Aras was nice!
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: I think you can find them on Bandcamp, NGH
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: ... and this is still them!
	♥ 9:19pm Gary: aras.bandcamp.com...
	9:19pm Erik B in Minnesota: They "ran out of internet" in our area. That's what the sales guys said, "We're out of Internet in your area." The company got a grant to establish more rural internet connections and gave it all to their executives. That's what the attorney general's office told me.
	♥ 9:20pm northguineahills: Well, Erik, you elected the first Muslim Rep to the House 12 years ago, so, kudos!
	♥ 9:21pm Gary: OMG. That's ... that's crazy.
	9:21pm Erik B in Minnesota: He's now our state attorney general! I had a 90 year old guy tell me this morning to get ready because as of January 1, Minnesota is under Sharia law. True story.
	♥ 9:22pm Ike: Hello hello hi hi hello!
	♥ 9:23pm coelacanth∅: i'd much prefer all political positions in this country be held by agnostics.
	♥ 9:25pm Gary: Ike!
	♥ 9:25pm TDK60: we're out of internet; no strawberries either.
	9:25pm Erik B in Minnesota: Sorry. I'll drop the politics. I got all jazzed up by some of the results last night.
	♥ 9:25pm Gary: Erik: Google "sharia in the usa kominas"
	♥ 9:26pm Gary: Don't stop ... WE'RE ALL JAZZED UP!!!
	♥ 9:26pm northguineahills: My mother told me the same thing about all Muslims last Xmas (sharia law). Still looking for my eyes that rolled out of my sockets (hard to do). At least my father refuted her.
	9:26pm Jill B.: Hi Gary. Stopping by for a short visit. Everyone head for the streets at 5:00 pm tomorrow evening to protest the firing of Sessions. Find an event near you !
	♥ 9:27pm Gary: Hi Mom!!! See you guys soon ...
	♥ 9:27pm TDK60: Erik be calm; my impression is most here are of a possibly progressive persuasion.
	♥ 9:29pm coelacanth∅: the results give reason for hope, that's for sure.
	9:29pm Erik B in Minnesota: TDK60 - I'm impressed by your handle. In 1980-83, my entire music collection was on TDK60's. Is that the reference?
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: (despite my revulsion to organized religion)
	♥ 9:31pm hyde: i used to generally buy TDK cassettes too
	♥ 9:32pm Ike: I don't mind talking politics! Last night was disappointing in some ways but at least we finally beat the Republican state senator in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, who ran over an old lady and killed her, impersonated cops while screaming at cyclists, etc. for the last 16 years and kept getting re-elected anyway... until now! I'm sure the Democratic-leaning Arabic community of Bay Ridge played a big role in that flip. Hooray!
	♥ 9:32pm coelacanth∅: i tried every brand i found, at least once. nothing came close to tdk. still have hundreds of 'em and they all still play and sound good.
	♥ 9:34pm Gary: Tokyo Denkikagaku Kōgyō (Tokyo Electronics and Chemicals)
	9:34pm Erik B in Minnesota: I just heard an early Pink Floyd lick in this tune. I can't place the song.
	♥ 9:35pm TDK60: Erik that's the reference; yet, I later realized I had actually used more TDK90s back then. Also used (and still use) Maxells. Just found some old Memorex mix-tapes from the early 80s that are now shot. But on the comments board the other night an artist came forward who collects old tapes for art pieces. I'm going to send to him.
	9:39pm Erik B in Minnesota: Gary, wasn't "Larry Grogan" a fictional character we made up?
	9:39pm chresti: I also bought TDK 90s. My player is out of service though
	9:40pm Erik B in Minnesota: No, my bad. It was Larry Scroggins.
	♥ 9:40pm Franco Twinkie: Good swoon factor on this one!
	♥ 9:41pm Gary: Scroggins! There actually is I believe a real Scroggins scholar who specializes in non-mainstream poetry, if I'm remembering correctly
	♥ 9:43pm Gary: Larry Grogan's Testify! Alvin Robinson and a Soul Food Buffet: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:44pm coelacanth∅: i had maybe 100-200 maxells. some sounded great and still do but a too big proportion of them failed quickly. i only had one memorex and it sounded like crap from the get-go. the other terrible ones were basf, and sony. (& some fly by night brands i bought one each of) the only tdk i had problems with was their metal ("m") tape, supposedly the "professional", best one. most of them sounded bad fairly soon.
	9:44pm Funky16corners: Gary!
	9:45pm Erik B in Minnesota: Wow. This has been fun. I think this whole "Internet" thing might really turn into something!
	♥ 9:45pm hyde: this one is heavy
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: There's the man of the (next) (2) hour(s)!
	♥ 9:46pm TDK60: coelacanth∅: thanks for your "Concise History of the Early Eighties"!!
	♥ 9:47pm Gary: Larry, the computer I'm using to broadcast froze and so it may take me a bit longer to get off the stream tonight, though I'll try to do it as quickly as possible -- I just know from past similar situations that when the computer freezes like this I have to unplug it to actually disconnect
	9:47pm Funky16corners: Ok Gary. I’ll watch from this end
	♥ 9:48pm Gary: I'm a big believe that the "internet" is going to change the way we do some things in life ... not sure what, though.
	9:49pm Erik B in Minnesota: It's almost like it could become an "information superhighway!"
	♥ 9:49pm Gary: Information wants to be super!
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: Informaton wants to be super-high?
	♥ 9:54pm coelacanth∅: haha tdk! late 70s through the mid 90s but okay! (i stupidly resisted cds for years and new records were no longer available so i bought lots of cassettes all the way up to about 1997)
	♥ 9:56pm Ike: Where's all the love for Fuji DR-II cassettes?! (Maxell was good too.)
	♥ 9:58pm Franco Twinkie: A friend of mine lived in Tehran pre-revolution. Been a nice Jewish girl from Pasadena, she stole a Christmas tree from a hotel lobby and was chased down the street.until she picked up a big rock and threw at her pursuer and knocked him down.
	9:58pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:58pm TDK60: coel: I shouldn't have been so time restricted: of course, my tape heydays were, late '70s til about '89-'90; CDs came in then but I continued with LPs and tapes too.
	♥ 9:58pm coelacanth∅: Gary @9.48 i think it's a passing craze. like the 4-wheeled motor vehicle, (according to karl benz)
	♥ 9:59pm northguineahills: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 9:59pm Gary: Night everyone!
	♥ 9:59pm TDK60: ..great sounds tonight Gary. Thanks.
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:02pm hyde: thanks!
