Listener comments!
	12:01pm βrian: Cesare Lombroso is sitting in ...
	12:01pm sphere: hullo hullo
	12:02pm passiflora: this song hit my stride as I walked
	12:04pm Booz: up, up, and away. . .
	12:06pm TDK60: Thursday is here. Music plays..
	12:07pm Adrian in London: That Marion track is great. I much prefer covers of The Kinks to The Kinks' versions
	12:08pm Krys O.: Good afternoon!
	12:08pm Z-pulpa: I just scarfed down a bowl of Udon noodles. Just easing into this cloudy feeling Thursday, so happy to be swimming in the ravioli bowl.
	🍝 12:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, they forgot the patch for voodoo bones!
	12:09pm still b/p: This version of BMB has the wonderfulness.
	12:10pm Passaic River Blues: Holy God!
	12:10pm Krys O.: Z-pulpa, I've got chicken noodle soup and now I'm fortified with ravioli!
	12:11pm Carmichael: Heya Olivia and raviolios.
	12:15pm Dave in Vermont: How do people feel about pierogies (sp?) around here?
	12:17pm TDK60: ..I can only rave about this ravioli..
	12:17pm βrian: The Venetian boats, you mean?
	12:17pm Z-pulpa: A friend just shared this really interesting sight about NYC infrastructure with me, I think some you may enjoy it!: seeingnetworks.in...
	12:21pm still b/p: Haven't had pierogi in a long while. Want now. "Cajuns vs. Gondoliers: The Final Battle for Poland" comes out right after the big Avengers flick.
	12:22pm Krys O.: Homemade pierogi are great. Store bought versions tend to suck, IMO, but that's because I grew up having the real thing.
	12:22pm TDK60: Z-pulpa, that looks like an interesting site, will check more later...
	12:29pm sphere: Mrs T.'s Pierogies are pretty good but I have never had homemade, alas.
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: greetings Olivia and pasta-pillow people
	12:30pm βrian: Eating pierogies while lazily drifting in a pirogue sounds appealing.
	12:31pm olivia: ooh i like the idea of ravioli as a pasta pillow
	12:32pm olivia: wow that's a revolutionary thought!
	12:32pm coelacanth∅: and when you wake up you can eat your pillow!
	12:33pm still b/p: WWII song: Praise the Lord and Pasta Pillow.
	🍝 12:34pm diciassette: "I woke up and I'd eaten my pillow!" Hallo fellers. Nice to hear about Hannah Lew. Nice to hear Hannah Lew!
	12:36pm Rich in Washington: Hello. My wife found some Merlot infused pasta at a closeout bin in one of those boojie Trader Joe's type stores and I made it the other night with some marinara sauce. They were strangely pink but tasted nothing like merlot, thankfully.
	12:39pm SKI THE POLOCK: GALUMPKIS AN PIEROGIES POLISH SOUL FOOD
	12:40pm βrian: One has to be selective at Trailer Joe's. Some of their products are really sketchy.
	12:45pm still b/p: And all the products on their shelves should be regarded as temporary offerings. They often vanish for long periods or for good. Ain't no tea leaves or palmistry or graphology gonna help you with what to expect there in your shopping future.
	12:46pm Jeff Golick: @βrian: Although they apparently sell one hell of a butter: food52.com...
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: i usually end up doctoring up prepared dishes from trader joe's. sometimes they're really good though. i had i think it was 3-mushroom ravioli from there that was good. needed garlic or something though.
	12:49pm Dean: That TJ's is my day-to-day butter, well, it and its salted counterpart. It isn't at all like what the article describes. It's good, but not wonderfully buttery.
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: that's interesting Jeff. i buy my butter there but i don't buy trader joe's brand.
	12:51pm still b/p: I just downloaded the Mueller report. Now we get the EAS test. It's gummint gummint gummint every whichaway today. Well, yesterday, too, when I sent off the tax returns.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: (i guess i'm getting "european style". kerrygold, salted)
	12:53pm sphere: i'm waiting for everything to settle down around the Mueller report before getting down and dirty with it.
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: That Kerrygold is sold as a rather large slab, isn't it, @coel?
	12:58pm Hi from Holland: This I like - also nice intro from their bandcamp page "We announce the joyous return of the spacecraft known as IQ+1 to Planet Earth." :)
	1:00pm chresti: Howdy Raviolis!
	1:02pm Z-pulpa: This track really brings things together Radio Ravioli Revolution-wise.
	1:02pm sphere: i needed this collage.
	1:02pm still b/p: Favorite line from that butter article, talking about ill-advised substitutions of European-style butter for American: "And scones: flatter, 'sad, and slumped.'” Belongs in a spoken-word piece.
	1:04pm Rich in Washington: Me in the checkout line: "Trader Joe's? More like Class Traitor Joe's!"
	1:05pm blee: REYNOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:06pm Jeff Golick: [for later] can stream the full 52-cut Reynols set @ Bandcamp: picadisk.bandcamp.com...
	1:08pm olivia: yeah jesus its a hhuge box set, how many hours of listening is the entire thing? I should escape in it for a while over the weekend
	1:08pm still b/p: Pica Disk anagram: Skip Acid.
	1:09pm Michael 98145: Dzień dobry. This is somehow just night right : guyfoodguru.com...
	1:09pm Michael 98145: not right
	1:10pm Johnzon: wow... I had no idea what I was listening to here lol... this is awesome. we should do it here
	1:10pm olivia: yeahhh someone showed me a ravioli pizza recently too i don't get why we do this
	1:11pm olivia: foodenvy.tv...
	1:13pm Johnzon: ew
	1:14pm ɛɨk: Go, Argentinians, go! TJ's is the place for certain discount gourmet ingredients for those on a budget. Great prices, but yeah, stuff that's been there for years sometimes just vanishes and never comes back.
	1:14pm chresti: Ravioli pizza is like a macaroni sandwich
	1:15pm still b/p: The fact that it's $1.90(!) a slice is surprising and encouraging.
	1:17pm TDK60: ,.macaroni sandwich? do I have time for it?
	1:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THIS NICE YAY.
	1:20pm chresti: ...just noodles and ketchup between slices of wonder bread
	1:20pm coelacanth∅: Jeff (@12.53) yes it's a 1/2lb hunk. the packaging is fragile too, so it's kind of a pain but it's delicious and i don't use much butter so i figure i can afford it. it's significantly less expensive at tjs too.
	1:20pm sphere: I used to get dried peaches from TJ. It was why I drove to the outer burbs. Unfortunately. they vanished. I definitely miss them.
	1:21pm TDK60: the outer suburbs have vanished.
	1:21pm Krys O.: A macaroni sandwich makes me think of using leftover pasta in a frittata.
	1:22pm sphere: @ TDK60: We still have a few in Maryland.
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: TDK @1.17 Hahaha!
	1:24pm chresti: that's real food @Krys
	1:25pm βrian: I like pasta, but I don't think of it as food.
	1:26pm TDK60: ..this Basinki is just in time.
	1:26pm still b/p: When I bitched (again) in a casually frustrated way to a staffer at TJ about the frequent disappearances, he tried to put it in terms of many different suppliers and a constant drive to find good things and keep them affordable. But it's still a wwwwacky business model -- significant and persistent unreliability. But I'm still walking in the doors with so many others, so...wacky or not, it works, and change ain't likely comin'.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: Rich (@1.04) yeah there's a despicable aspect to trader joe's business model. they offer better-than-average prices, in general, but they'll only set up shop in wealthy communities.
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: (in other words, they're like the us government, aiming to make the rich richer and the middle class poor.)
	1:29pm βrian: "many different suppliers" == "We really have no idea where this stuff is coming from."
	1:29pm chresti: TJs is a good place to get nuts and sparkling water
	1:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: We recently got one (T.Joes) in DC, in an absurdly over-gentrified neighborhood where apartments easily exceed $3K/month. The affluent youngsters flock to it daily like a plague of gilded sparrows clutching their wine & quinoa. Quite amusing.
	1:32pm βrian: What, they sell quinoa?
	1:33pm TDK60: I would go to my neighborhood food co-op, but there isn't one.
	1:33pm Johnzon: that's what aldis is for. whatever keeps two german millionaire brothers from squabbling. family first, I think the aldi/trader joes/europe/america thing is a clever way to avoid fratricide also been covered extensively in previous comments sections. No radio station's audience is better informed about the history & business practices of Aldis & Trader Joes than wfmu for some reason. just keeps coming up.
	1:35pm βrian: Our local coöp has extremely large margins, and it accumulates cash so quickly it needs to spin off a brand new store every few years. To my mind, they're kind of missing the point.
	1:35pm chresti: TJS started out as a delicatessen in...Monovia, CA, I think
	1:35pm Krys O.: I've been shopping at Aldi. I'm stunned at how low the prices are. The food is not terrible. They might not have everything, but they come quite close for me.
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: haha true Johnzon, but i think it's because food is a popular subject.
	1:37pm TDK60: I used to belong to a food co-op, in another locale. (Part of the Federation of Ohio River Co-ops, FORC.)
	1:38pm Johnzon: i still don't know how to pronounce Lidel tho. that one's a question for the ages. luckily there aren't any around here so I don't have to know
	1:38pm chresti: TJs opened a store in Eagle Rock, where my husband would go to stock up on beer and wine, in the 80s
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: i shop at trader joe's mainly because it's the closest store to where i stay when i'm working in ct. now i've grown fond of certain things that i only find there, or only find there at a price i can pay. i still shop at the local shoprite and "health food" store where i live.
	1:39pm Johnzon: has there ever been a cooking or food-talk show on fmu?
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ...for one thing trader joe's produce (which is the majority of my diet) is pretty crappy. tends to rot within a few days. there are exceptions. and they don't sell any good rice, which is also a main part of my diet.
	1:41pm Z-pulpa: cooking much has seemed impossible this week, thus only eating noodles... sometimes I get so tired...
	1:42pm Z-pulpa: Usually I cook a big meal during Hearty White
	1:42pm βrian: There used to be a beer-tasting segment on WFMU. I loved that. Vicarious drinking.
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: (...as i insert noodle soup into my mouth)
	1:45pm βrian: I'm not sure who the engineer was, but she sure knew how to mic a beer glass.
	1:47pm TDK60: ..is Spiegel climbing the WFMU charts? Let's hope so..
	1:50pm SheWolf: Ooh my melty brain
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: didn't Bronwyn C have a food show? or incorporate some food talk into her book review show or her sportsytalk show?
	1:52pm TDK60: Olivia, is Fabio out there in the library? Can ya ask him if he likes to shop for food?
	1:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what th'SheWolf melty'd.
	1:52pm still b/p: Yeah, the TJ produce does go bad too quickly too often! Cautious about it. Asked about and emphasized it was a thing, and staff reacted as if never heard such complaints and had nothing to say when I asked if they bought second-quality, older produce to get deals. There's one of our chants when the protests start: "What good is cheap if the fruit don't keep?!" And, "Trader Joe, taste my tears! All the good stuff disappears!"
	1:54pm βrian: And those sadistic checkout counters!
	1:54pm Dean: I suspect TJ's sources produce more or less locally, because I've not had a problem with it, at least no more than at my go-to market, Berkeley Bowl West. One day I'll pay $0.69 there for a pound of strawberries (really) that last a good while, another day a $2.00 basket will turn in a couple days. I'm at peace with the disappearing stuff (except, maybe, the 12 oz. tins of Bay Blend coffee beans), because I understand that they're dealing with sometimes ad hoc supply circumstances to keep their prices (relatively) low.
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: haha
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: they do have good organic bananas though, when every other place i've tried has inedible ones.
	1:57pm Krys O.: I've got time confusion today because I'm off tomorrow. Keep thinking it's Friday.
	1:59pm Devin B.: Loving Green Dome!
	1:59pm TDK60: I bought Velvet Underground's 1st LP in a food supermarket, in Nutley, NJ. true story.
	2:00pm chresti: Farmers markets are the best place for fresh produce that keeps a long time.
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: the tjs on the east coast get most (or all?) of their produce from their warehouses on the west coast. at least less than a year ago that's what i was told -when there was that lettuce scare. their lettuce was free of the bacteria or whatever it was because they knew exactly where it was coming from. (not arizona, where the problem was)
	2:00pm chresti: TDK60: Awesome!
	2:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Spent all of Tuesday thinking the next day was Thursday. Then spent all of yesterday thinking it SHOULD DEFINITELY be Thursday. Now it is actually Thursday, so it feels like I've had three consecutive thursdays this week. Thanks to yesterday's problem, seems like today should be Friday. This would be fine since tomorrow would be Saturday, but I would need to work that "saturday" since it's technically Friday (death to consensus reality)...
	2:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for that Green Dome; very cool.
	2:05pm still b/p: Recursday.
	2:06pm TDK60: chresti: it wasn't down in the fruit section by the bananas. It was a stand-alone rekkid shelf right by the front door. A ShopRite supermarket on Franklin Ave.; nearby was Nunzio's music shop where I bought most of my albums as a kid.
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: my week is off too, because i worked through the weekend, till monday night. i awoke early tuesday morning really stoked to hear Grachan Moncur III -the opening to Scott McDowell's show that i haven't heard in a long long time. i got to hear the Clay> Matt transitional banter, which i'd never heard before. (which was pretty damn funny!) -then i managed to sleep late yesterday and miss Grachan Moncur III...again.
	2:10pm TDK60: Nunzio was a kind fellow, taught music lessons (clarinet, violin, etc.) in a glass booth in the back. But he would smilingly interrupt lessons to come sell me an LP or 45: Meet the Beatles, Bringing It All Back Home, Peter, Paul & Mary. But I digress..
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: good ol' Nunzio
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: i was very excited when a record store opened up in my town when i was maybe 9-10 years old. the owner was not very friendly though and i never trusted him. and his prices where higher than the 2-guys record department. but that was way too far to go to by myself.
	2:18pm Carmichael: Tower Records was born in my hometown, so we kewl kids hung out there all the time. All Things Must Pass ...
	2:19pm sphere: the strip mall right next to where i grew up had a record store that was part of those small chains that used to be around. i remember hearing a David Sylvian album on the local weird music station and dashing out to get it.
	2:20pm Z-pulpa: The True Vine record store in Baltimore just moved to a bigger location, I have been meaning to go check it out and snoop for some weird mix tapes.
	2:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Definitely need to visit the new True Vine. Wasn't sure if it had opened there yet...
	2:22pm sphere: It's open. Two blocks away from the Charles Theater. (1872 N. Charles St. i believe)
	2:22pm Z-pulpa: Yeah, I think it just opened on Charles by the movie theater.
	2:23pm sphere: M.C. Schmidt posted the hours on Twitter.
	2:25pm Z-pulpa: @sphere, haha exactly. Freaker Twig said something about bringing a bunch of tapes down there soon. Id love to get some old Baltimore noise gems.
	2:26pm sphere: @Z-pulpa: Nice! I'll definitely be on the lookout. I like Twig.
	2:27pm Franco Twinkie: What, huh? I go down the street to have coffee and every one starts talking about Trader Joe's and the Velvet Underground! I'm not even going to try and catch up.
	2:27pm Z-pulpa: This track is is so wonderful. Yeah I do too, I just know him some from going to his float tank a couple times and saying hi at shows. There is a show at The Red Room tonight that looks pretty awesome
	2:27pm chresti: Lovely show Olivia, thanks!
	2:28pm sphere: Really? I'll check the Red Room schedule out.
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: before i was of driving age most of my record purchases where via the record club of america. i was doing mail order before it was fashionable.
	2:29pm olivia: Nadah El Shazly is playing at the Brooklyn Music School Theater next Wednesday, April 24! email olivia@wfmu.org if you wanna get tickets
	2:29pm olivia: www.facebook.com...
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: Franco we were just gossiping about Velvet Joe, who works for the trader underground.
	2:31pm still b/p: Just watched the documentary on the whole Tower Records story the other night.
	2:32pm Passaic River Blues: The ravioli has been exceptional today.
	2:32pm Michael 98145: The original Tower was a pilgrimage site back in the day ..
	2:32pm sphere: @ Rev - want me to send you the True Vine schedule? i have it around here somewhere.
	2:33pm chresti: I liked the Tower Records in Berkeley, which is also a great place for ravioli
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: i visited the tower near st.mark's place a few times. not once did i purchase anything. i was shocked that a 3-story record store could be so limited in their scope. (and their prices were at the absolute high end of the spectrum)
	2:35pm Carmichael: A friend of mine was one for the producers, much to my surprise. Apparently he knows Colin Hanks, which also surprised me. They were schoolmates here way back when.
	2:36pm Carmichael: *one OF
	2:36pm still b/p: Funny to see footage of Elton John making regular rounds in the Sunset Blvd. Tower with his list and his assistant. Claims to have spent more money in there than ANYONE.
	2:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THIS.
	2:37pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I'll throw this one out there, and then drop it. In 1967 I was at The Alpha Beta supermarket with my mom, and in their "record department" next to the potato chips, I found a copy of the first Grateful Dead album. I had seen their name on posters in San Francisco, but I had not yet heard them. To this day, it is one of my favorite Dead records.
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: chresti maybe they were different in different locations. or maybe i was comparing them to all those great little shops in the same vicinity.
	2:38pm coelacanth∅: (and -what the Rev. said^)
	2:39pm coelacanth∅: Franco it's the 'dead's best album!
	2:39pm Devin B.: Nadah El Shazly is amazing. Wish I could go to that show.
	2:40pm chresti: The Tower in Berkeley was smaller, I think it had used stuff, although I liked Rasputins, a few doors down, better
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: THIS nadahelshazly.bandcamp.com...
	2:43pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, for me it's a tie between that and Aoxomoxoa, which I escaped from helping my dad built a planter in the front yard to ride my bike to Gemco and buy for $3.19. He wasn't to happy, but I was!
	2:43pm chresti: This is fantastic @Nadah
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: i don't think the tower on lower manhatten had used records. maybe they didn't bother because of all the other stores nearby that sold primarily used.
	2:45pm still b/p: Wasn't aware of Tower until it was YUUUGE, so it always had that oversized, impersonal chain flavor, as opposed to the hip musically enthusiastic groove and just happy browsy bounty of the earlier years.
	2:47pm Franco Twinkie: I ran over to the Tower on Sunset to buy a record by Love so I would have something for Bryan and Arthur to sign who were playing up the street.
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: Franco i do like a lot of their early stuff (when they still has soul) i even like some of the 70s stuff (when they kinda didn't!) i like aoxomoxoa a lot. and yes there's that too, still b/p.
	2:48pm chresti: I might have combined my memory of Tower in Berkeley, with Amoeba in Berkeley, late 70s era
	2:52pm Chris from DC: Liking that Equipment Pointed Ankh a lot.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: i made a grateful dead playlist on snotify, as i do sometimes with bands that i usually would have to skip tracks when listening to the albums. chronological order, focusing first and primarily on the studio albums. i was surprised at how big it ended up being. 313 songs; 34 hours.
	2:52pm TDK60: Aoxomoxoa album cover sure is a beaut.
	2:53pm chresti: What Chris said...
	🍝 2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Olivia. Your show today was really <redacted>.
	🍝 2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey!
	2:55pm TDK60: they ate their spinach. // Thanks for sounds DJ Ravioli.
	2:55pm Franco Twinkie: A Deadhead with serious reservations, that's me too.
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: i'm so glad i can leisurely listen to the show today -and with a good sound system. it's rare. it sounds great!
	2:57pm sphere: thanks, <redacted>!
	2:57pm steveo: the grateful dead has albums?
	2:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Olivia. Next Thursday I won't leave the house while your show is on.
	2:58pm still b/p: Lunch right now....is 4 things from....Trader Joe's. Ohhh, they've GOT me! Great showioli! Thanks!
	2:58pm <redacted∅>: what's this all about?!
	2:59pm Franco Twinkie: Lunch, yeah!
	2:59pm sphere: Mueller Report
	2:59pm Krys O.: Thanks, Olivia!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Olivia! Brilliant as always!
	2:59pm chresti: Mmmm spinach ravioli...
	3:00pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Olivia!

	12:01pm sphere: hullo hullo
	12:02pm passiflora: this song hit my stride as I walked
	12:04pm Booz: up, up, and away. . .
	12:06pm TDK60: Thursday is here. Music plays..
	12:07pm Adrian in London: That Marion track is great. I much prefer covers of The Kinks to The Kinks' versions
	12:08pm Krys O.: Good afternoon!
	12:08pm Z-pulpa: I just scarfed down a bowl of Udon noodles. Just easing into this cloudy feeling Thursday, so happy to be swimming in the ravioli bowl.
	🍝 12:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey, they forgot the patch for voodoo bones!
	12:09pm still b/p: This version of BMB has the wonderfulness.
	12:10pm Passaic River Blues: Holy God!
	12:10pm Krys O.: Z-pulpa, I've got chicken noodle soup and now I'm fortified with ravioli!
	12:11pm Carmichael: Heya Olivia and raviolios.
	12:15pm Dave in Vermont: How do people feel about pierogies (sp?) around here?
	12:17pm TDK60: ..I can only rave about this ravioli..
	12:17pm βrian: The Venetian boats, you mean?
	12:17pm Z-pulpa: A friend just shared this really interesting sight about NYC infrastructure with me, I think some you may enjoy it!: seeingnetworks.in...
	12:21pm still b/p: Haven't had pierogi in a long while. Want now. "Cajuns vs. Gondoliers: The Final Battle for Poland" comes out right after the big Avengers flick.
	12:22pm Krys O.: Homemade pierogi are great. Store bought versions tend to suck, IMO, but that's because I grew up having the real thing.
	12:22pm TDK60: Z-pulpa, that looks like an interesting site, will check more later...
	12:29pm sphere: Mrs T.'s Pierogies are pretty good but I have never had homemade, alas.
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: greetings Olivia and pasta-pillow people
	12:30pm βrian: Eating pierogies while lazily drifting in a pirogue sounds appealing.
	12:31pm olivia: ooh i like the idea of ravioli as a pasta pillow
	12:32pm olivia: wow that's a revolutionary thought!
	12:32pm coelacanth∅: and when you wake up you can eat your pillow!
	12:33pm still b/p: WWII song: Praise the Lord and Pasta Pillow.
	🍝 12:34pm diciassette: "I woke up and I'd eaten my pillow!" Hallo fellers. Nice to hear about Hannah Lew. Nice to hear Hannah Lew!
	12:36pm Rich in Washington: Hello. My wife found some Merlot infused pasta at a closeout bin in one of those boojie Trader Joe's type stores and I made it the other night with some marinara sauce. They were strangely pink but tasted nothing like merlot, thankfully.
	12:39pm SKI THE POLOCK: GALUMPKIS AN PIEROGIES POLISH SOUL FOOD
	12:40pm βrian: One has to be selective at Trailer Joe's. Some of their products are really sketchy.
	12:45pm still b/p: And all the products on their shelves should be regarded as temporary offerings. They often vanish for long periods or for good. Ain't no tea leaves or palmistry or graphology gonna help you with what to expect there in your shopping future.
	12:46pm Jeff Golick: @βrian: Although they apparently sell one hell of a butter: food52.com...
	12:46pm coelacanth∅: i usually end up doctoring up prepared dishes from trader joe's. sometimes they're really good though. i had i think it was 3-mushroom ravioli from there that was good. needed garlic or something though.
	12:49pm Dean: That TJ's is my day-to-day butter, well, it and its salted counterpart. It isn't at all like what the article describes. It's good, but not wonderfully buttery.
	12:50pm coelacanth∅: that's interesting Jeff. i buy my butter there but i don't buy trader joe's brand.
	12:51pm still b/p: I just downloaded the Mueller report. Now we get the EAS test. It's gummint gummint gummint every whichaway today. Well, yesterday, too, when I sent off the tax returns.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: (i guess i'm getting "european style". kerrygold, salted)
	12:53pm sphere: i'm waiting for everything to settle down around the Mueller report before getting down and dirty with it.
	12:53pm Jeff Golick: That Kerrygold is sold as a rather large slab, isn't it, @coel?
	12:58pm Hi from Holland: This I like - also nice intro from their bandcamp page "We announce the joyous return of the spacecraft known as IQ+1 to Planet Earth." :)
	1:00pm chresti: Howdy Raviolis!
	1:02pm Z-pulpa: This track really brings things together Radio Ravioli Revolution-wise.
	1:02pm sphere: i needed this collage.
	1:02pm still b/p: Favorite line from that butter article, talking about ill-advised substitutions of European-style butter for American: "And scones: flatter, 'sad, and slumped.'” Belongs in a spoken-word piece.
	1:04pm Rich in Washington: Me in the checkout line: "Trader Joe's? More like Class Traitor Joe's!"
	1:05pm blee: REYNOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:06pm Jeff Golick: [for later] can stream the full 52-cut Reynols set @ Bandcamp: picadisk.bandcamp.com...
	1:08pm olivia: yeah jesus its a hhuge box set, how many hours of listening is the entire thing? I should escape in it for a while over the weekend
	1:08pm still b/p: Pica Disk anagram: Skip Acid.
	1:09pm Michael 98145: Dzień dobry. This is somehow just night right : guyfoodguru.com...
	1:09pm Michael 98145: not right
	1:10pm Johnzon: wow... I had no idea what I was listening to here lol... this is awesome. we should do it here
	1:10pm olivia: yeahhh someone showed me a ravioli pizza recently too i don't get why we do this
	1:11pm olivia: foodenvy.tv...
	1:13pm Johnzon: ew
	1:14pm ɛɨk: Go, Argentinians, go! TJ's is the place for certain discount gourmet ingredients for those on a budget. Great prices, but yeah, stuff that's been there for years sometimes just vanishes and never comes back.
	1:14pm chresti: Ravioli pizza is like a macaroni sandwich
	1:15pm still b/p: The fact that it's $1.90(!) a slice is surprising and encouraging.
	1:17pm TDK60: ,.macaroni sandwich? do I have time for it?
	1:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THIS NICE YAY.
	1:20pm chresti: ...just noodles and ketchup between slices of wonder bread
	1:20pm coelacanth∅: Jeff (@12.53) yes it's a 1/2lb hunk. the packaging is fragile too, so it's kind of a pain but it's delicious and i don't use much butter so i figure i can afford it. it's significantly less expensive at tjs too.
	1:20pm sphere: I used to get dried peaches from TJ. It was why I drove to the outer burbs. Unfortunately. they vanished. I definitely miss them.
	1:21pm TDK60: the outer suburbs have vanished.
	1:21pm Krys O.: A macaroni sandwich makes me think of using leftover pasta in a frittata.
	1:22pm sphere: @ TDK60: We still have a few in Maryland.
	1:23pm coelacanth∅: TDK @1.17 Hahaha!
	1:24pm chresti: that's real food @Krys
	1:25pm βrian: I like pasta, but I don't think of it as food.
	1:26pm TDK60: ..this Basinki is just in time.
	1:26pm still b/p: When I bitched (again) in a casually frustrated way to a staffer at TJ about the frequent disappearances, he tried to put it in terms of many different suppliers and a constant drive to find good things and keep them affordable. But it's still a wwwwacky business model -- significant and persistent unreliability. But I'm still walking in the doors with so many others, so...wacky or not, it works, and change ain't likely comin'.
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: Rich (@1.04) yeah there's a despicable aspect to trader joe's business model. they offer better-than-average prices, in general, but they'll only set up shop in wealthy communities.
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: (in other words, they're like the us government, aiming to make the rich richer and the middle class poor.)
	1:29pm βrian: "many different suppliers" == "We really have no idea where this stuff is coming from."
	1:29pm chresti: TJs is a good place to get nuts and sparkling water
	1:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: We recently got one (T.Joes) in DC, in an absurdly over-gentrified neighborhood where apartments easily exceed $3K/month. The affluent youngsters flock to it daily like a plague of gilded sparrows clutching their wine & quinoa. Quite amusing.
	1:32pm βrian: What, they sell quinoa?
	1:33pm TDK60: I would go to my neighborhood food co-op, but there isn't one.
	1:33pm Johnzon: that's what aldis is for. whatever keeps two german millionaire brothers from squabbling. family first, I think the aldi/trader joes/europe/america thing is a clever way to avoid fratricide also been covered extensively in previous comments sections. No radio station's audience is better informed about the history & business practices of Aldis & Trader Joes than wfmu for some reason. just keeps coming up.
	1:35pm βrian: Our local coöp has extremely large margins, and it accumulates cash so quickly it needs to spin off a brand new store every few years. To my mind, they're kind of missing the point.
	1:35pm chresti: TJS started out as a delicatessen in...Monovia, CA, I think
	1:35pm Krys O.: I've been shopping at Aldi. I'm stunned at how low the prices are. The food is not terrible. They might not have everything, but they come quite close for me.
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: haha true Johnzon, but i think it's because food is a popular subject.
	1:37pm TDK60: I used to belong to a food co-op, in another locale. (Part of the Federation of Ohio River Co-ops, FORC.)
	1:38pm Johnzon: i still don't know how to pronounce Lidel tho. that one's a question for the ages. luckily there aren't any around here so I don't have to know
	1:38pm chresti: TJs opened a store in Eagle Rock, where my husband would go to stock up on beer and wine, in the 80s
	1:38pm coelacanth∅: i shop at trader joe's mainly because it's the closest store to where i stay when i'm working in ct. now i've grown fond of certain things that i only find there, or only find there at a price i can pay. i still shop at the local shoprite and "health food" store where i live.
	1:39pm Johnzon: has there ever been a cooking or food-talk show on fmu?
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ...for one thing trader joe's produce (which is the majority of my diet) is pretty crappy. tends to rot within a few days. there are exceptions. and they don't sell any good rice, which is also a main part of my diet.
	1:41pm Z-pulpa: cooking much has seemed impossible this week, thus only eating noodles... sometimes I get so tired...
	1:42pm Z-pulpa: Usually I cook a big meal during Hearty White
	1:42pm βrian: There used to be a beer-tasting segment on WFMU. I loved that. Vicarious drinking.
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: (...as i insert noodle soup into my mouth)
	1:45pm βrian: I'm not sure who the engineer was, but she sure knew how to mic a beer glass.
	1:47pm TDK60: ..is Spiegel climbing the WFMU charts? Let's hope so..
	1:50pm SheWolf: Ooh my melty brain
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: didn't Bronwyn C have a food show? or incorporate some food talk into her book review show or her sportsytalk show?
	1:52pm TDK60: Olivia, is Fabio out there in the library? Can ya ask him if he likes to shop for food?
	1:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what th'SheWolf melty'd.
	1:52pm still b/p: Yeah, the TJ produce does go bad too quickly too often! Cautious about it. Asked about and emphasized it was a thing, and staff reacted as if never heard such complaints and had nothing to say when I asked if they bought second-quality, older produce to get deals. There's one of our chants when the protests start: "What good is cheap if the fruit don't keep?!" And, "Trader Joe, taste my tears! All the good stuff disappears!"
	1:54pm βrian: And those sadistic checkout counters!
	1:54pm Dean: I suspect TJ's sources produce more or less locally, because I've not had a problem with it, at least no more than at my go-to market, Berkeley Bowl West. One day I'll pay $0.69 there for a pound of strawberries (really) that last a good while, another day a $2.00 basket will turn in a couple days. I'm at peace with the disappearing stuff (except, maybe, the 12 oz. tins of Bay Blend coffee beans), because I understand that they're dealing with sometimes ad hoc supply circumstances to keep their prices (relatively) low.
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: haha
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: they do have good organic bananas though, when every other place i've tried has inedible ones.
	1:57pm Krys O.: I've got time confusion today because I'm off tomorrow. Keep thinking it's Friday.
	1:59pm Devin B.: Loving Green Dome!
	1:59pm TDK60: I bought Velvet Underground's 1st LP in a food supermarket, in Nutley, NJ. true story.
	2:00pm chresti: Farmers markets are the best place for fresh produce that keeps a long time.
	2:00pm coelacanth∅: the tjs on the east coast get most (or all?) of their produce from their warehouses on the west coast. at least less than a year ago that's what i was told -when there was that lettuce scare. their lettuce was free of the bacteria or whatever it was because they knew exactly where it was coming from. (not arizona, where the problem was)
	2:00pm chresti: TDK60: Awesome!
	2:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Spent all of Tuesday thinking the next day was Thursday. Then spent all of yesterday thinking it SHOULD DEFINITELY be Thursday. Now it is actually Thursday, so it feels like I've had three consecutive thursdays this week. Thanks to yesterday's problem, seems like today should be Friday. This would be fine since tomorrow would be Saturday, but I would need to work that "saturday" since it's technically Friday (death to consensus reality)...
	2:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks for that Green Dome; very cool.
	2:05pm still b/p: Recursday.
	2:06pm TDK60: chresti: it wasn't down in the fruit section by the bananas. It was a stand-alone rekkid shelf right by the front door. A ShopRite supermarket on Franklin Ave.; nearby was Nunzio's music shop where I bought most of my albums as a kid.
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: my week is off too, because i worked through the weekend, till monday night. i awoke early tuesday morning really stoked to hear Grachan Moncur III -the opening to Scott McDowell's show that i haven't heard in a long long time. i got to hear the Clay> Matt transitional banter, which i'd never heard before. (which was pretty damn funny!) -then i managed to sleep late yesterday and miss Grachan Moncur III...again.
	2:10pm TDK60: Nunzio was a kind fellow, taught music lessons (clarinet, violin, etc.) in a glass booth in the back. But he would smilingly interrupt lessons to come sell me an LP or 45: Meet the Beatles, Bringing It All Back Home, Peter, Paul & Mary. But I digress..
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: good ol' Nunzio
	2:15pm coelacanth∅: i was very excited when a record store opened up in my town when i was maybe 9-10 years old. the owner was not very friendly though and i never trusted him. and his prices where higher than the 2-guys record department. but that was way too far to go to by myself.
	2:18pm Carmichael: Tower Records was born in my hometown, so we kewl kids hung out there all the time. All Things Must Pass ...
	2:19pm sphere: the strip mall right next to where i grew up had a record store that was part of those small chains that used to be around. i remember hearing a David Sylvian album on the local weird music station and dashing out to get it.
	2:20pm Z-pulpa: The True Vine record store in Baltimore just moved to a bigger location, I have been meaning to go check it out and snoop for some weird mix tapes.
	2:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Definitely need to visit the new True Vine. Wasn't sure if it had opened there yet...
	2:22pm sphere: It's open. Two blocks away from the Charles Theater. (1872 N. Charles St. i believe)
	2:22pm Z-pulpa: Yeah, I think it just opened on Charles by the movie theater.
	2:23pm sphere: M.C. Schmidt posted the hours on Twitter.
	2:25pm Z-pulpa: @sphere, haha exactly. Freaker Twig said something about bringing a bunch of tapes down there soon. Id love to get some old Baltimore noise gems.
	2:26pm sphere: @Z-pulpa: Nice! I'll definitely be on the lookout. I like Twig.
	2:27pm Franco Twinkie: What, huh? I go down the street to have coffee and every one starts talking about Trader Joe's and the Velvet Underground! I'm not even going to try and catch up.
	2:27pm Z-pulpa: This track is is so wonderful. Yeah I do too, I just know him some from going to his float tank a couple times and saying hi at shows. There is a show at The Red Room tonight that looks pretty awesome
	2:27pm chresti: Lovely show Olivia, thanks!
	2:28pm sphere: Really? I'll check the Red Room schedule out.
	2:29pm coelacanth∅: before i was of driving age most of my record purchases where via the record club of america. i was doing mail order before it was fashionable.
	2:29pm olivia: Nadah El Shazly is playing at the Brooklyn Music School Theater next Wednesday, April 24! email olivia@wfmu.org if you wanna get tickets
	2:29pm olivia: www.facebook.com...
	2:31pm coelacanth∅: Franco we were just gossiping about Velvet Joe, who works for the trader underground.
	2:31pm still b/p: Just watched the documentary on the whole Tower Records story the other night.
	2:32pm Passaic River Blues: The ravioli has been exceptional today.
	2:32pm Michael 98145: The original Tower was a pilgrimage site back in the day ..
	2:32pm sphere: @ Rev - want me to send you the True Vine schedule? i have it around here somewhere.
	2:33pm chresti: I liked the Tower Records in Berkeley, which is also a great place for ravioli
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: i visited the tower near st.mark's place a few times. not once did i purchase anything. i was shocked that a 3-story record store could be so limited in their scope. (and their prices were at the absolute high end of the spectrum)
	2:35pm Carmichael: A friend of mine was one for the producers, much to my surprise. Apparently he knows Colin Hanks, which also surprised me. They were schoolmates here way back when.
	2:36pm Carmichael: *one OF
	2:36pm still b/p: Funny to see footage of Elton John making regular rounds in the Sunset Blvd. Tower with his list and his assistant. Claims to have spent more money in there than ANYONE.
	2:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THIS.
	2:37pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I'll throw this one out there, and then drop it. In 1967 I was at The Alpha Beta supermarket with my mom, and in their "record department" next to the potato chips, I found a copy of the first Grateful Dead album. I had seen their name on posters in San Francisco, but I had not yet heard them. To this day, it is one of my favorite Dead records.
	2:37pm coelacanth∅: chresti maybe they were different in different locations. or maybe i was comparing them to all those great little shops in the same vicinity.
	2:38pm coelacanth∅: (and -what the Rev. said^)
	2:39pm coelacanth∅: Franco it's the 'dead's best album!
	2:39pm Devin B.: Nadah El Shazly is amazing. Wish I could go to that show.
	2:40pm chresti: The Tower in Berkeley was smaller, I think it had used stuff, although I liked Rasputins, a few doors down, better
	2:41pm coelacanth∅: THIS nadahelshazly.bandcamp.com...
	2:43pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, for me it's a tie between that and Aoxomoxoa, which I escaped from helping my dad built a planter in the front yard to ride my bike to Gemco and buy for $3.19. He wasn't to happy, but I was!
	2:43pm chresti: This is fantastic @Nadah
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: i don't think the tower on lower manhatten had used records. maybe they didn't bother because of all the other stores nearby that sold primarily used.
	2:45pm still b/p: Wasn't aware of Tower until it was YUUUGE, so it always had that oversized, impersonal chain flavor, as opposed to the hip musically enthusiastic groove and just happy browsy bounty of the earlier years.
	2:47pm Franco Twinkie: I ran over to the Tower on Sunset to buy a record by Love so I would have something for Bryan and Arthur to sign who were playing up the street.
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: Franco i do like a lot of their early stuff (when they still has soul) i even like some of the 70s stuff (when they kinda didn't!) i like aoxomoxoa a lot. and yes there's that too, still b/p.
	2:48pm chresti: I might have combined my memory of Tower in Berkeley, with Amoeba in Berkeley, late 70s era
	2:52pm Chris from DC: Liking that Equipment Pointed Ankh a lot.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: i made a grateful dead playlist on snotify, as i do sometimes with bands that i usually would have to skip tracks when listening to the albums. chronological order, focusing first and primarily on the studio albums. i was surprised at how big it ended up being. 313 songs; 34 hours.
	2:52pm TDK60: Aoxomoxoa album cover sure is a beaut.
	2:53pm chresti: What Chris said...
	🍝 2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Olivia. Your show today was really <redacted>.
	🍝 2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hey!
	2:55pm TDK60: they ate their spinach. // Thanks for sounds DJ Ravioli.
	2:55pm Franco Twinkie: A Deadhead with serious reservations, that's me too.
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: i'm so glad i can leisurely listen to the show today -and with a good sound system. it's rare. it sounds great!
	2:57pm sphere: thanks, <redacted>!
	2:57pm steveo: the grateful dead has albums?
	2:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Olivia. Next Thursday I won't leave the house while your show is on.
	2:58pm still b/p: Lunch right now....is 4 things from....Trader Joe's. Ohhh, they've GOT me! Great showioli! Thanks!
	2:58pm <redacted∅>: what's this all about?!
	2:59pm Franco Twinkie: Lunch, yeah!
	2:59pm sphere: Mueller Report
	2:59pm Krys O.: Thanks, Olivia!
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Olivia! Brilliant as always!
	2:59pm chresti: Mmmm spinach ravioli...
	3:00pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Olivia!
