	12:14pm StringOFperils: Hope catharsis is working out for everybody today. I need to go beyond the pale, out beyond the bubble membrane. Out that door. Here I go. I'm going now. Right now. Any minute now. Really soon now.
	🦇 12:14pm listener james from westwood: Argh, hoping the bug departs swiftly; this has been a six-month-long month without your needing that on top of everything!
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: excellent ja song
	🦇 12:15pm Julie: hi coela hi String!
	🦇 12:17pm Julie: Don't do it SOP! There ain't nothing out there

	12:21pm StringOFperils: Perfect record choice btw
	12:27pm brainiac: Happy March 54th everybody!
	🦇 12:29pm Julie: this is the month that never ends....
	🦇 12:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): The long march, the endless march… without WFMU, i would be a wreck Thanks for being here, Julie, and the skeleton crew, and everyone here who is supporting this refuge! xoxox
	12:39pm ParUbi: Meow!
	🦇 12:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): MEOW!!!
	12:42pm StringOFperils: Littering is prohibited.
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: (worth the scars)
	12:44pm ParUbi: I love this album!
	🦇 12:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Nice! And hey coel and GST and James and KFHP and ParUbi and SoP
	12:51pm ParUbi: Hey PB!
	🦇 12:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Well, "the news" just said it looks like the most promising Covid vaccine flopped in its first trial (sigh)
	12:53pm Mr Nobody: Hey All! Better late than never right?
	🦇 12:54pm Julie: heya Mr Nobody!
	12:54pm StringOFperils: Smells like teen Camaro
	🦇 12:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Phillippe Bastille: hey there! Great to see you here.
	12:55pm βrian: @PB: "Damn the electric fence!"
	12:56pm Mr Nobody: Hadn't seen the news about the vaccine. That is no Bueno.
	12:56pm ParUbi: Oh, this is a Nick Cave cover
	12:56pm Mr Nobody: Hey Julie
	🦇 12:59pm Phillippe Bastille: @Mr. Nobody news just came out. I've replaced watching sports I can't play for watching a stock market I can't afford to invest in and the market dropped like 250 points in the first 15 minutes after they announced it.
	🦇 1:01pm Julie: so much for bill gates's plan to inject us all with tracking chips!
	1:02pm Mr Nobody: Lol the real news must have been the chips aren't ready
	1:02pm Mr Nobody: I mean everything is fake news right?
	1:02pm ParUbi: We can still inject our own chips, right?
	🦇 1:03pm Julie: yes but I usually take mine through the mouth
	1:04pm Mr Nobody: How can you have any pudding if you don't take your tracking chip?
	🦇 1:05pm Julie: :D
	1:06pm Mr Nobody: Oh and I am greatly amused how this version of Brain Damage is so happy sounding.
	🦇 1:06pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): That PF cover was perfect, i had to seek the whole album and share it with my PF fan girlfriend. Yeah!
	1:07pm ParUbi: Most enjoyable forms of brain damage should be avoided, but this one works for me too!
	🦇 1:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): On a YT post of the whole Chillout album, it says "Brain Damage" was by Argentina Chill Out Social Club, who seems to have covered Michael Jackson, Sting and the Beatles as well.
	🦇 1:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): The robots will win!!!
	1:11pm Andrew Waterloo: Reminds me of the Bossa 'n compilations. Some great Ramones and G'n R covers
	1:12pm Andrew Waterloo: Including an oddly pitched Beat on the Brat
	🦇 1:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i just love interesting covers. i can't get enough!
	🦇 1:14pm Julie: same! (obviously)
	🦇 1:15pm Handy Haversack: Well, that took entirely too long. But otherwise was as low-stress a supply outing as we have had. Hope our luck holds for bank and liquor store later!
	🦇 1:15pm Handy Haversack: Oh, man, I missed Julian Cope!!
	🦇 1:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): A small price to pay for your victory, Handy!
	🦇 1:17pm Julie: whatcha getting at the liquor store?
	🦇 1:19pm Handy Haversack: We need vermouth (sweet and dry), Cynar, Campari, a top up on wine, and probably whisky. And I guess if they have any comfort or self-control, we'll price it.
	🦇 1:19pm Julie: @Andrew there was also an easy listening type grunge album. I have that one somewhere
	1:23pm βrian: When we're out of vermouth, we refill it from the kitchen tap. Noboby seems to notice.
	🦇 1:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ha ha!
	🦇 1:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): booze ain't my thang, but i think i'm officially hoarding chocolate
	1:25pm StringOFperils: @ βrian. Your tap water sounds fantastic !
	🦇 1:25pm Handy Haversack: Well, sure, if you're lucky enough to have municipal vermouth, @βrian. New York's mains are just too old to convert.
	🦇 1:25pm Phillippe Bastille: You guys need to come over, I have a cabinet full of liquor I don't drink anymore. Including vermouth.
	🦇 1:26pm Handy Haversack: How far can you throw, Phillippe?
	🦇 1:26pm Julie: I would like to download some drinks please
	🦇 1:27pm Phillippe Bastille: Its more like "how much can a carrier kingfisher carry?"
	1:27pm StringOFperils: Oh thank you for playing The Narrow Way
	🦇 1:27pm Handy Haversack: African kingfisher or European?
	🦇 1:28pm Julie: ummagumma is quite neglected around here
	1:29pm StringOFperils: Ummagumma's like the original Daydream Nation for me.
	1:29pm βrian: Is the stream dropping out for others?
	🦇 1:30pm Phillippe Bastille: I'll ask
	1:30pm ParUbi: I'm all about PF before 1970. After 1970, it goes steeply downhill for me.
	🦇 1:31pm Julie: stream seems okay on my little box
	🦇 1:31pm Handy Haversack: The stream is strong with this one.
	1:32pm βrian: I used to be all about PF Flyers.
	1:32pm Michael 98145: happy distanced stream
	1:33pm Michael 98145: Maddy!
	🦇 1:33pm Julie: @Par it's really like 3-4 different bands, I try not to compare it too much.
	1:33pm Mr Nobody: All good down here.
	🦇 1:34pm Julie: hi Michael! this is my old Maddy album, I probably should seek out some earlier of her solo stuff
	🦇 1:34pm Julie: not old ONLY
	🦇 1:37pm Handy Haversack: You can really interchange artist, track, and album however you want here and still stun the judges!
	🦇 1:38pm Julie: less judging more stunning
	1:38pm ParUbi: Now that's a band name
	1:39pm Michael 98145: yup
	1:39pm StringOFperils: A good motto in any event
	🦇 1:40pm Julie: apparently it's an old witch ritual (or so they say)
	1:40pm ParUbi: Reminds me a little of Current 93
	1:41pm doctorjazz: Hi Julie and Dark Ones...
	🦇 1:41pm Julie: hi doctorjazz!
	🦇 1:42pm Handy Haversack: It's been ascribed to Cathars, witches, Jewish people, Muslim people, Satanists, pretty much everyone who's had pogrom against them in Europe. I mean, it's true that you never see a Cathar who's allergic to cats!
	🦇 1:42pm Julie: so pretty much anyone who's anyone is kissing cat butt?
	1:42pm ParUbi: That's a sure way to get toxoplasmosis. No thanks!
	1:43pm Mark R.: Make a note to play this Harpsichord track next Halloween!
	🦇 1:43pm Julie: heya Mark!
	1:43pm StringOFperils: Yep. Six degrees of cat butt.
	1:43pm βrian: My current wine is from Cathar country. Irreverently delicious, too.
	1:44pm Mark R.: Hey Julie--remember when Lurch used to play the harpsichord on "The Addams Family"? This would have been good for that.
	🦇 1:44pm Handy Haversack: Yeah. Only real squares kiss dog butt.
	🦇 1:44pm Julie: perhaps that is the covid cure?
	🦇 1:44pm Julie: YES!
	1:44pm Mx Granny: when you point a finger, there are three fingers pointing back at you. Nyaaa nyaaaa, Cathars!!!!
	🦇 1:45pm Julie: name change Granny?
	1:46pm Mark R.: We'll never find out about that cover cure, Julie--we've been unable to find any test subjects.
	1:46pm Mark R.: Covid cure damn autocorrect
	1:48pm Michael 98145: When this is over, i'd like to see that band on a marquee ...
	1:49pm Mx Granny: yes! can't log in at the moment!
	1:50pm Dean: The album's title supposedly comes from Cambridge slang for sex, commonly used by Pink Floyd friend and occasional roadie, Iain "Emo" Moore, who would say, "I'm going back to the house for some ummagumma". According to Moore, he made up the term himself.--Wikipedia
	1:52pm Michael 98145: i did not know that
	🦇 1:52pm Phillippe Bastille: Instead of "hello", I gotta say "cya later" -- damn call coming up. If I don't get back by the end, thank you Julie. I hope you feel better soon.
	🦇 1:52pm Handy Haversack: L8r, Phillippe!
	🦇 1:53pm Julie: aww bye phillippe! Thanks!
	🦇 1:53pm Julie: ahhh yeah I think I DID hear that story before and kinda blocked it out.
	1:54pm spodiodi: Hi Julie and souls. glad to be drawing breath again with you all
	🦇 1:55pm Handy Haversack: Hey, spod.
	1:55pm dreamyandseedy: missed the Rina Sawayama song, i just heard of her yesterday, i really wanna listen to her album
	1:56pm spodiodi: new cover to me. love this song :)
	🦇 1:56pm Julie: hiya dreamy! Hiya spodiodi!
	1:56pm spodiodi: Handy tips mask
	1:57pm Mark R.: I really love Marissa Nadler's voice.
	🦇 1:57pm Handy Haversack: It's quite an accomplishment to make a Leonard Cohen song sound more serious!
	1:58pm spodiodi: nicely done
	🦇 1:59pm Julie: yes Marissa is fantastic
	🦇 2:00pm Julie: yeah that's right I'm playing 6 minutes of Rod, or as Elton would call him, Phyllis
	2:05pm Mx Granny: Somehow, my log-ins got mixed up and when i switch between gadgets, i can't log in. I keep changing my passwords but that's kwazy, so i gotta synchronize around here!
	2:05pm spodiodi: que? Phyllis?
	2:05pm Mark R.: I like this If By Yes. Never heard of 'em. Love the way they harmonize.
	🦇 2:06pm Julie: That was Rod's "drag name." Elton is Sharon, Freddie Mercury was Malina.
	2:08pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Hi Julie, listeners, neighbor. I am glad you played some Phyllis!
	🦇 2:08pm Julie: they only seem to have the one album :(
	🦇 2:08pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha!
	🦇 2:09pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Photocopy Cha Cha. How are things with you?
	2:09pm spodiodi: very cool to know, Julie! thank you. now i want a drag name
	2:11pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:09 Handy Haversack: I am OK, some cabin fever maybe - unlike some foolhardy Finns who still visit each other, I have not seen anyone for a month! Then again, this also means a month stone cold sober - and I needed that. How are things on your end Handy?
	2:12pm spodiodi: that's a long month
	2:14pm βrian: An ordinary month is 30 days long. A sober month is 30 days and 30 nights long.
	2:15pm spodiodi: βrian knows
	2:15pm Marie: Hey Julie (and all!), so glad I tuned in. I am loving the tunes.
	🦇 2:15pm Julie: so are we back at March 54th again
	🦇 2:15pm Julie: hi Marie! Thanks!
	🦇 2:16pm Handy Haversack: Well, we are NOT sober, PCCha, but also a little stiry crazy. We had a supermarket run earlier and need to hit the bank and liquor store later -- and errand day. We are probably drinking a wee drop too much, but I'm going to forgive us for a while! Otherwise, despite the occasional tantrum as we wrestle with tech, we're doing OK at the Haversackery. The cats are satisfied and asprawl. The domestication of the dog proceeds apace.
	2:16pm spodiodi: i miss the March 40s
	2:16pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Hey Julie sorry to bother you with a dumb question, but have you done some changes to your computer or something? The previous home shows you did had some light clicks and pops (not loud but you could hear it with good headphones). And now they are gone completely. (I have got this old windows laptop and the same problem there which never has been solved)
	2:16pm spodiodi: btw, lol Julie :D
	🦇 2:17pm Julie: Cha Cha I am using different software today! I think it has taken care of the clicks.
	🦇 2:17pm Handy Haversack: My calendar still says Blearsday the Q11th. I'll have to flip it. One of these weeks.
	🦇 2:17pm Julie: cats asprawl, I like that image
	🦇 2:18pm Julie: I was up last night comparing two different streaming softwares, of course the one I didn't pay for seems to be click free.
	🦇 2:19pm Julie: it was not a playback issue but in fact a streaming one, which is why I didn't ever hear them until I listened to the archive.
	2:19pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:16 Handy Haversack: like I said somewhere else around wfmu, no booze home deliveries here in Finland unless you are a business owner. Hence, sobriety, as a supermarket run would be a risk - I was scared shitless going to a nurse/doctor twice during the last 2 weeks.
	2:19pm spodiodi: calendars confuse me. we had one last year or the year before. it had some sweet pigs. i miss the pigs, but not all numbers
	2:20pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:18 Julie: hooray for freeware!
	🦇 2:20pm Julie: ah calendars.. remember plans and appointments and such?
	2:21pm spodiodi: a little?
	2:21pm StringOFperils: @spodiodi..Well, Spod, it promises to be a year of pigs and numbers. Buckle up.
	🦇 2:21pm Julie: pigs with abacuses?
	2:22pm βrian: Cats asprawl and arms akimbo.
	2:22pm StringOFperils: Someone should get that abacus looked at.
	🦇 2:22pm Julie: ahhh that piano work
	2:22pm Mx Granny: my calendar seems suddenly MORE crammed with all of the distant events i didn't consider now going online at the same time
	🦇 2:23pm Handy Haversack: Now there is just appointment listening -- but lots of it! (I have a 3 o'clock with Fabio.)
	🦇 2:23pm Julie: Granny, too true! Also Robyn Hitchcock's doing another Beatles show tomorrow 3pm Eastern time so evening perfect for Europe. I only caught a bit of yesterday's.
	🦇 2:24pm Julie: FABIO WILL SEE YOU NOW
	🦇 2:24pm Handy Haversack: Eep!
	2:25pm Photocopy Cha Cha: I guess from June onwards public events of less than 500 people will be permitted here in Finland - I wonder if this is a little too early. I mean 500+ people in a concert hall might be safer than 100 people crammed into what they call a "toilet venue".
	2:27pm spodiodi: StringO, i think that's probably good advice. thank you click i hope these pigs are as sweet
	2:28pm spodiodi: btw, nice new av -- the last one was hard to follow
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Julie and Dark Knights!
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: Hi Julie!
	🦇 2:33pm Julie: Hiya Doug! Hi Larry!
	2:34pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Helloooooooo I love this song
	2:36pm Dean: There's your 8-track with the split Georgie: https://www.discogs.com/Rod-Stewart-Greatest-Hits/release/1506461
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3PM - wfmu.org/playlists/shows/92773
	🦇 2:38pm Julie: @dean oh yes! whoever thought those tapes were a good idea.. fade out the song, restart it next track. ridiculous.
	2:40pm Sylvia (France-NYC): oh, I love Andrea Parker, Julie! I listened to her album Kiss My Arp so much when it go released
	2:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha: That Kate Bush song reminded me - I don't remember why I missed it, but still a bit miffed about not catching The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices feat. Lisa Gerrard last October. It was apparently raaather good.
	🦇 2:40pm Julie: hiya Sylvia! I haven't heard much of her, I need to check out that one too
	2:40pm Dean: I have fond memories of 8-tracks. A weird early David Bowie, a Genesis compilation, and most importantly, the first time I heard Yes's Close to the Edge was off an 8-track I borrowed from a neighbor. But yeah, other than sentimental value, they were a pretty clunky medium.
	2:41pm Michael 98145: i'm so old i actually had an 8-trk player stolen out of my car ...
	2:42pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:40 Dean: they never came here to Finland. Cassettes were the thing here.
	🦇 2:42pm Julie: yeah mom's car had an 8-track player when I was little. She'd let me pick, it was usually between Tom Jones and Vicki Carr.
	🦇 2:42pm Julie: wow not at all? I feel like they were around a long time.
	2:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:42 Julie: I guess they were a very American thing. Like I once wrote on Larry's show, Bruce Springsteen was among the last releases (the 1985 live set, only available from a record club), perfect car music - and of course I have no first hand experience, just have read about it.
	🦇 2:46pm Julie: 8-track seems like it was invented just so you could play them in the car
	2:46pm Dean: My player was in one of those cheesy consoles with a tuner and a turntable atop a bookcase in my bedroom. Shoot, you could find budget priced 8-tracks and LPs at the supermarket!
	🦇 2:46pm Julie: and there was a very satisfying feeling when that 8-track clicked into place
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: I like this cut. Has a little bit of a Moody Blues thing going on
	2:47pm StringOFperils: Plus changing records in the front seat was always such a pain.
	2:48pm spodiodi: blew my mind as a teen to learn there actually were factory-option record player options in cars
	🦇 2:49pm Handy Haversack: That's why you'd have the 5-LP changer in the trunk, StringOFp.
	2:49pm Michael 98145: thank you again, Julie
	🦇 2:49pm Julie: thanks for listening Michael!
	🦇 2:49pm Julie: wow I can't imagine playing records in the car
	2:50pm Dean: Used to listen to WFMU most of the day from work, but now that I'm working from home, I listen from work from home. Today I decided to take a vacation day, so I'm listening from home from home.
	🦇 2:50pm Julie: Dean, very nice! Happy vacay day!
	2:50pm Michael 98145: it's difficult enough to run a printer in the car :)
	2:50pm StringOFperils: Isn't there a scene or two in the old Bond films, where there's a little open-reel tape machine inside the dashboard of the Aston-Martin? So ahead of the curve. A reel to reel in the car.
	🦇 2:51pm Julie: can you imagine the needle jumps when you hit a bump in the road.. yikes
	2:51pm spodiodi: here's one i.pinimg.com... i had an even older chevy where it was also an option
	2:51pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - I like the way you think
	2:51pm Michael 98145: or the pressure would be so great you'd only get three plays per disc
	🦇 2:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: For a while, the factory-installed radios had 8-track players and CB radios built in. Or you had to pick one or the other?
	2:52pm spodiodi: my first Car Discman had a big floating mechanism to prevent skips (poorly), before they added 3 little ball bearings as a standard, changing the game forever. amazing. i love elegant solutions
	2:52pm Mr Nobody: A reason to drive slow and carefully. lol
	2:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Dean, what a pity there seem to be no english subs anywhere for the Tolonen doc I talked about yesterday. Otherwise I could have been able to share with you my copy in spite of the geographical distance
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: I have to get this album out
	2:53pm Listener Bob in PGH: Haha, that reminds me of an old 70s TV commercial for some luxury car where they have a jeweler cutting a diamond on the backseat to demonstrate how smooth the ride was
	2:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Hah, Peter Gabriel had a rather cool reversed mohawk in that Mick Rock documentary (I was tempted to write Mick Rock Doc)
	2:54pm Dean: There are car turntables and car turntables: https://www.mckinleyelevator.com/products/car-turntables/ Heh, speaking of Genesis comps. This track (or its official release) was on the 8-track I had.
	🦇 2:54pm Handy Haversack: Another great show, Julie, and another great afternoon with you and the very fine folx who hang out around you. It really is always a pleasure.
	🦇 2:54pm Julie: very cool
	2:54pm spodiodi: or the SNL(?) commercial where a rabbi is performing a Bris in the backseat of a luxury car to prove how smoother
	🦇 2:54pm Julie: thanks for listening everyone!
	🦇 2:54pm Julie: oh spodi I remember that one!
	2:55pm Photocopy Cha Cha: the said Mick Rock flick had also some homebaked footage of Syd I had never seen before.
	2:55pm Listener Bob in PGH: yeah, i think that's what they were spoofing
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Julie!
	2:55pm Dean: You know, PCC, I might wanna see that Tolonen thing anyway, just to see him. I assume it has old footage of his playing?
	2:55pm Mx Granny: My golly, is it over already? Thanks Julie, and take good care of your beautiful self. That goes for the rest of you, too. Sub your preferred adjective!
	2:56pm Michael 98145: love the conversations here
	2:56pm Mr Nobody: @Listener Bob that would be the 1972 Mercury Grand Marquis. I will admit I cheated and looked it up but it was a commercial I had seen before.
	2:56pm StringOFperils: Thank you for arranging all of that...bye.
	🦇 2:56pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Julie!
	2:56pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:55 Dean: well a bit, but I guess it is more about the changes in his life situation
	2:56pm spodiodi: cool, Bob -- not sure i know it!
	2:57pm Mx Granny: what Michael 98145 said! ^^
	2:57pm Mr Nobody: Thanks Julie! Adios all.
	2:58pm Dean: That's really interesting, PCC. I mean, his music is what brought him a modicum of celebrity.
	🦇 2:58pm Julie: I think I need to see this Mick Rock Doc
	2:58pm Photocopy Cha Cha: once again, so cool you do this Julie, even if you have had plenty on your plate recently! Even if I showed up rather late to the chatboard, I enjoyed all 3 hours of this.
	🦇 2:59pm Julie: thank you Cha Cha! and I do appreciate your pointing out the sound issues, hopefully all is fixed now!
	2:59pm spodiodi: StringO, i think you're right re: Bond -- thanks for that memory
	2:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:58 Julie: you hae yet to see it? at least on Finnish netflix, probably yours too. it is called SHOT! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock
	3:00pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Julie!
	3:00pm Photocopy Cha Cha: yes julie, sounds perfect!
	🦇 3:00pm Julie: thanks everyone!
	3:00pm brainiac: That was great, Julie! Feel better soon.
	3:01pm Dean: Here's a shot of Gabriel with the reverse mohawk: https://tinyurl.com/y7vb6xbr
	6:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Julie (...my battery died) i hope you're well soon
	4:18pm ?: Thanks, Julie.

	12:14pm StringOFperils: Hope catharsis is working out for everybody today. I need to go beyond the pale, out beyond the bubble membrane. Out that door. Here I go. I'm going now. Right now. Any minute now. Really soon now.
	🦇 12:14pm listener james from westwood: Argh, hoping the bug departs swiftly; this has been a six-month-long month without your needing that on top of everything!
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: excellent ja song

	🦇 12:17pm Julie: Don't do it SOP! There ain't nothing out there

	🦇 12:29pm Julie: this is the month that never ends....
	🦇 12:38pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): The long march, the endless march… without WFMU, i would be a wreck Thanks for being here, Julie, and the skeleton crew, and everyone here who is supporting this refuge! xoxox
	12:39pm ParUbi: Meow!
	🦇 12:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): MEOW!!!
	12:42pm StringOFperils: Littering is prohibited.
	12:42pm coelacanth∅: (worth the scars)
	12:44pm ParUbi: I love this album!
	🦇 12:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Nice! And hey coel and GST and James and KFHP and ParUbi and SoP
	12:51pm ParUbi: Hey PB!
	🦇 12:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Well, "the news" just said it looks like the most promising Covid vaccine flopped in its first trial (sigh)
	12:53pm Mr Nobody: Hey All! Better late than never right?
	🦇 12:54pm Julie: heya Mr Nobody!
	12:54pm StringOFperils: Smells like teen Camaro
	🦇 12:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Phillippe Bastille: hey there! Great to see you here.
	12:55pm βrian: @PB: "Damn the electric fence!"
	12:56pm Mr Nobody: Hadn't seen the news about the vaccine. That is no Bueno.
	12:56pm ParUbi: Oh, this is a Nick Cave cover
	12:56pm Mr Nobody: Hey Julie
	🦇 12:59pm Phillippe Bastille: @Mr. Nobody news just came out. I've replaced watching sports I can't play for watching a stock market I can't afford to invest in and the market dropped like 250 points in the first 15 minutes after they announced it.
	🦇 1:01pm Julie: so much for bill gates's plan to inject us all with tracking chips!
	1:02pm Mr Nobody: Lol the real news must have been the chips aren't ready
	1:02pm Mr Nobody: I mean everything is fake news right?
	1:02pm ParUbi: We can still inject our own chips, right?
	🦇 1:03pm Julie: yes but I usually take mine through the mouth
	1:04pm Mr Nobody: How can you have any pudding if you don't take your tracking chip?
	🦇 1:05pm Julie: :D
	1:06pm Mr Nobody: Oh and I am greatly amused how this version of Brain Damage is so happy sounding.
	🦇 1:06pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): That PF cover was perfect, i had to seek the whole album and share it with my PF fan girlfriend. Yeah!
	1:07pm ParUbi: Most enjoyable forms of brain damage should be avoided, but this one works for me too!
	🦇 1:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): On a YT post of the whole Chillout album, it says "Brain Damage" was by Argentina Chill Out Social Club, who seems to have covered Michael Jackson, Sting and the Beatles as well.
	🦇 1:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): The robots will win!!!
	1:11pm Andrew Waterloo: Reminds me of the Bossa 'n compilations. Some great Ramones and G'n R covers
	1:12pm Andrew Waterloo: Including an oddly pitched Beat on the Brat
	🦇 1:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): i just love interesting covers. i can't get enough!
	🦇 1:14pm Julie: same! (obviously)
	🦇 1:15pm Handy Haversack: Well, that took entirely too long. But otherwise was as low-stress a supply outing as we have had. Hope our luck holds for bank and liquor store later!
	🦇 1:15pm Handy Haversack: Oh, man, I missed Julian Cope!!
	🦇 1:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): A small price to pay for your victory, Handy!
	🦇 1:17pm Julie: whatcha getting at the liquor store?
	🦇 1:19pm Handy Haversack: We need vermouth (sweet and dry), Cynar, Campari, a top up on wine, and probably whisky. And I guess if they have any comfort or self-control, we'll price it.
	🦇 1:19pm Julie: @Andrew there was also an easy listening type grunge album. I have that one somewhere
	1:23pm βrian: When we're out of vermouth, we refill it from the kitchen tap. Noboby seems to notice.
	🦇 1:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ha ha!
	🦇 1:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): booze ain't my thang, but i think i'm officially hoarding chocolate
	1:25pm StringOFperils: @ βrian. Your tap water sounds fantastic !
	🦇 1:25pm Handy Haversack: Well, sure, if you're lucky enough to have municipal vermouth, @βrian. New York's mains are just too old to convert.
	🦇 1:25pm Phillippe Bastille: You guys need to come over, I have a cabinet full of liquor I don't drink anymore. Including vermouth.
	🦇 1:26pm Handy Haversack: How far can you throw, Phillippe?
	🦇 1:26pm Julie: I would like to download some drinks please
	🦇 1:27pm Phillippe Bastille: Its more like "how much can a carrier kingfisher carry?"
	1:27pm StringOFperils: Oh thank you for playing The Narrow Way
	🦇 1:27pm Handy Haversack: African kingfisher or European?
	🦇 1:28pm Julie: ummagumma is quite neglected around here
	1:29pm StringOFperils: Ummagumma's like the original Daydream Nation for me.
	1:29pm βrian: Is the stream dropping out for others?
	🦇 1:30pm Phillippe Bastille: I'll ask
	1:30pm ParUbi: I'm all about PF before 1970. After 1970, it goes steeply downhill for me.
	🦇 1:31pm Julie: stream seems okay on my little box
	🦇 1:31pm Handy Haversack: The stream is strong with this one.
	1:32pm βrian: I used to be all about PF Flyers.
	1:32pm Michael 98145: happy distanced stream
	1:33pm Michael 98145: Maddy!
	🦇 1:33pm Julie: @Par it's really like 3-4 different bands, I try not to compare it too much.
	1:33pm Mr Nobody: All good down here.
	🦇 1:34pm Julie: hi Michael! this is my old Maddy album, I probably should seek out some earlier of her solo stuff
	🦇 1:34pm Julie: not old ONLY
	🦇 1:37pm Handy Haversack: You can really interchange artist, track, and album however you want here and still stun the judges!
	🦇 1:38pm Julie: less judging more stunning
	1:38pm ParUbi: Now that's a band name
	1:39pm Michael 98145: yup
	1:39pm StringOFperils: A good motto in any event
	🦇 1:40pm Julie: apparently it's an old witch ritual (or so they say)
	1:40pm ParUbi: Reminds me a little of Current 93
	1:41pm doctorjazz: Hi Julie and Dark Ones...
	🦇 1:41pm Julie: hi doctorjazz!
	🦇 1:42pm Handy Haversack: It's been ascribed to Cathars, witches, Jewish people, Muslim people, Satanists, pretty much everyone who's had pogrom against them in Europe. I mean, it's true that you never see a Cathar who's allergic to cats!
	🦇 1:42pm Julie: so pretty much anyone who's anyone is kissing cat butt?
	1:42pm ParUbi: That's a sure way to get toxoplasmosis. No thanks!
	1:43pm Mark R.: Make a note to play this Harpsichord track next Halloween!
	🦇 1:43pm Julie: heya Mark!
	1:43pm StringOFperils: Yep. Six degrees of cat butt.
	1:43pm βrian: My current wine is from Cathar country. Irreverently delicious, too.
	1:44pm Mark R.: Hey Julie--remember when Lurch used to play the harpsichord on "The Addams Family"? This would have been good for that.
	🦇 1:44pm Handy Haversack: Yeah. Only real squares kiss dog butt.
	🦇 1:44pm Julie: perhaps that is the covid cure?
	🦇 1:44pm Julie: YES!
	1:44pm Mx Granny: when you point a finger, there are three fingers pointing back at you. Nyaaa nyaaaa, Cathars!!!!
	🦇 1:45pm Julie: name change Granny?
	1:46pm Mark R.: We'll never find out about that cover cure, Julie--we've been unable to find any test subjects.
	1:46pm Mark R.: Covid cure damn autocorrect
	1:48pm Michael 98145: When this is over, i'd like to see that band on a marquee ...
	1:49pm Mx Granny: yes! can't log in at the moment!
	1:50pm Dean: The album's title supposedly comes from Cambridge slang for sex, commonly used by Pink Floyd friend and occasional roadie, Iain "Emo" Moore, who would say, "I'm going back to the house for some ummagumma". According to Moore, he made up the term himself.--Wikipedia
	1:52pm Michael 98145: i did not know that
	🦇 1:52pm Phillippe Bastille: Instead of "hello", I gotta say "cya later" -- damn call coming up. If I don't get back by the end, thank you Julie. I hope you feel better soon.
	🦇 1:52pm Handy Haversack: L8r, Phillippe!
	🦇 1:53pm Julie: aww bye phillippe! Thanks!
	🦇 1:53pm Julie: ahhh yeah I think I DID hear that story before and kinda blocked it out.
	1:54pm spodiodi: Hi Julie and souls. glad to be drawing breath again with you all
	🦇 1:55pm Handy Haversack: Hey, spod.
	1:55pm dreamyandseedy: missed the Rina Sawayama song, i just heard of her yesterday, i really wanna listen to her album
	1:56pm spodiodi: new cover to me. love this song :)
	🦇 1:56pm Julie: hiya dreamy! Hiya spodiodi!
	1:56pm spodiodi: Handy tips mask
	1:57pm Mark R.: I really love Marissa Nadler's voice.
	🦇 1:57pm Handy Haversack: It's quite an accomplishment to make a Leonard Cohen song sound more serious!
	1:58pm spodiodi: nicely done
	🦇 1:59pm Julie: yes Marissa is fantastic
	🦇 2:00pm Julie: yeah that's right I'm playing 6 minutes of Rod, or as Elton would call him, Phyllis
	2:05pm Mx Granny: Somehow, my log-ins got mixed up and when i switch between gadgets, i can't log in. I keep changing my passwords but that's kwazy, so i gotta synchronize around here!
	2:05pm spodiodi: que? Phyllis?
	2:05pm Mark R.: I like this If By Yes. Never heard of 'em. Love the way they harmonize.
	🦇 2:06pm Julie: That was Rod's "drag name." Elton is Sharon, Freddie Mercury was Malina.
	2:08pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Hi Julie, listeners, neighbor. I am glad you played some Phyllis!
	🦇 2:08pm Julie: they only seem to have the one album :(
	🦇 2:08pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha!
	🦇 2:09pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Photocopy Cha Cha. How are things with you?
	2:09pm spodiodi: very cool to know, Julie! thank you. now i want a drag name
	2:11pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:09 Handy Haversack: I am OK, some cabin fever maybe - unlike some foolhardy Finns who still visit each other, I have not seen anyone for a month! Then again, this also means a month stone cold sober - and I needed that. How are things on your end Handy?
	2:12pm spodiodi: that's a long month
	2:14pm βrian: An ordinary month is 30 days long. A sober month is 30 days and 30 nights long.
	2:15pm spodiodi: βrian knows
	2:15pm Marie: Hey Julie (and all!), so glad I tuned in. I am loving the tunes.
	🦇 2:15pm Julie: so are we back at March 54th again
	🦇 2:15pm Julie: hi Marie! Thanks!
	🦇 2:16pm Handy Haversack: Well, we are NOT sober, PCCha, but also a little stiry crazy. We had a supermarket run earlier and need to hit the bank and liquor store later -- and errand day. We are probably drinking a wee drop too much, but I'm going to forgive us for a while! Otherwise, despite the occasional tantrum as we wrestle with tech, we're doing OK at the Haversackery. The cats are satisfied and asprawl. The domestication of the dog proceeds apace.
	2:16pm spodiodi: i miss the March 40s
	2:16pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Hey Julie sorry to bother you with a dumb question, but have you done some changes to your computer or something? The previous home shows you did had some light clicks and pops (not loud but you could hear it with good headphones). And now they are gone completely. (I have got this old windows laptop and the same problem there which never has been solved)
	2:16pm spodiodi: btw, lol Julie :D
	🦇 2:17pm Julie: Cha Cha I am using different software today! I think it has taken care of the clicks.
	🦇 2:17pm Handy Haversack: My calendar still says Blearsday the Q11th. I'll have to flip it. One of these weeks.
	🦇 2:17pm Julie: cats asprawl, I like that image
	🦇 2:18pm Julie: I was up last night comparing two different streaming softwares, of course the one I didn't pay for seems to be click free.
	🦇 2:19pm Julie: it was not a playback issue but in fact a streaming one, which is why I didn't ever hear them until I listened to the archive.
	2:19pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:16 Handy Haversack: like I said somewhere else around wfmu, no booze home deliveries here in Finland unless you are a business owner. Hence, sobriety, as a supermarket run would be a risk - I was scared shitless going to a nurse/doctor twice during the last 2 weeks.
	2:19pm spodiodi: calendars confuse me. we had one last year or the year before. it had some sweet pigs. i miss the pigs, but not all numbers
	2:20pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:18 Julie: hooray for freeware!
	🦇 2:20pm Julie: ah calendars.. remember plans and appointments and such?
	2:21pm spodiodi: a little?
	2:21pm StringOFperils: @spodiodi..Well, Spod, it promises to be a year of pigs and numbers. Buckle up.
	🦇 2:21pm Julie: pigs with abacuses?
	2:22pm βrian: Cats asprawl and arms akimbo.
	2:22pm StringOFperils: Someone should get that abacus looked at.
	🦇 2:22pm Julie: ahhh that piano work
	2:22pm Mx Granny: my calendar seems suddenly MORE crammed with all of the distant events i didn't consider now going online at the same time
	🦇 2:23pm Handy Haversack: Now there is just appointment listening -- but lots of it! (I have a 3 o'clock with Fabio.)
	🦇 2:23pm Julie: Granny, too true! Also Robyn Hitchcock's doing another Beatles show tomorrow 3pm Eastern time so evening perfect for Europe. I only caught a bit of yesterday's.
	🦇 2:24pm Julie: FABIO WILL SEE YOU NOW
	🦇 2:24pm Handy Haversack: Eep!
	2:25pm Photocopy Cha Cha: I guess from June onwards public events of less than 500 people will be permitted here in Finland - I wonder if this is a little too early. I mean 500+ people in a concert hall might be safer than 100 people crammed into what they call a "toilet venue".
	2:27pm spodiodi: StringO, i think that's probably good advice. thank you click i hope these pigs are as sweet
	2:28pm spodiodi: btw, nice new av -- the last one was hard to follow
	2:30pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Julie and Dark Knights!
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: Hi Julie!
	🦇 2:33pm Julie: Hiya Doug! Hi Larry!
	2:34pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Helloooooooo I love this song
	2:36pm Dean: There's your 8-track with the split Georgie: https://www.discogs.com/Rod-Stewart-Greatest-Hits/release/1506461
	2:37pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3PM - wfmu.org/playlists/shows/92773
	🦇 2:38pm Julie: @dean oh yes! whoever thought those tapes were a good idea.. fade out the song, restart it next track. ridiculous.
	2:40pm Sylvia (France-NYC): oh, I love Andrea Parker, Julie! I listened to her album Kiss My Arp so much when it go released
	2:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha: That Kate Bush song reminded me - I don't remember why I missed it, but still a bit miffed about not catching The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices feat. Lisa Gerrard last October. It was apparently raaather good.
	🦇 2:40pm Julie: hiya Sylvia! I haven't heard much of her, I need to check out that one too
	2:40pm Dean: I have fond memories of 8-tracks. A weird early David Bowie, a Genesis compilation, and most importantly, the first time I heard Yes's Close to the Edge was off an 8-track I borrowed from a neighbor. But yeah, other than sentimental value, they were a pretty clunky medium.
	2:41pm Michael 98145: i'm so old i actually had an 8-trk player stolen out of my car ...
	2:42pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:40 Dean: they never came here to Finland. Cassettes were the thing here.
	🦇 2:42pm Julie: yeah mom's car had an 8-track player when I was little. She'd let me pick, it was usually between Tom Jones and Vicki Carr.
	🦇 2:42pm Julie: wow not at all? I feel like they were around a long time.
	2:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:42 Julie: I guess they were a very American thing. Like I once wrote on Larry's show, Bruce Springsteen was among the last releases (the 1985 live set, only available from a record club), perfect car music - and of course I have no first hand experience, just have read about it.
	🦇 2:46pm Julie: 8-track seems like it was invented just so you could play them in the car
	2:46pm Dean: My player was in one of those cheesy consoles with a tuner and a turntable atop a bookcase in my bedroom. Shoot, you could find budget priced 8-tracks and LPs at the supermarket!
	🦇 2:46pm Julie: and there was a very satisfying feeling when that 8-track clicked into place
	2:47pm Funky16Corners: I like this cut. Has a little bit of a Moody Blues thing going on
	2:47pm StringOFperils: Plus changing records in the front seat was always such a pain.
	2:48pm spodiodi: blew my mind as a teen to learn there actually were factory-option record player options in cars
	🦇 2:49pm Handy Haversack: That's why you'd have the 5-LP changer in the trunk, StringOFp.
	2:49pm Michael 98145: thank you again, Julie
	🦇 2:49pm Julie: thanks for listening Michael!
	🦇 2:49pm Julie: wow I can't imagine playing records in the car
	2:50pm Dean: Used to listen to WFMU most of the day from work, but now that I'm working from home, I listen from work from home. Today I decided to take a vacation day, so I'm listening from home from home.
	🦇 2:50pm Julie: Dean, very nice! Happy vacay day!
	2:50pm Michael 98145: it's difficult enough to run a printer in the car :)
	2:50pm StringOFperils: Isn't there a scene or two in the old Bond films, where there's a little open-reel tape machine inside the dashboard of the Aston-Martin? So ahead of the curve. A reel to reel in the car.
	🦇 2:51pm Julie: can you imagine the needle jumps when you hit a bump in the road.. yikes
	2:51pm spodiodi: here's one i.pinimg.com... i had an even older chevy where it was also an option
	2:51pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - I like the way you think
	2:51pm Michael 98145: or the pressure would be so great you'd only get three plays per disc
	🦇 2:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: For a while, the factory-installed radios had 8-track players and CB radios built in. Or you had to pick one or the other?
	2:52pm spodiodi: my first Car Discman had a big floating mechanism to prevent skips (poorly), before they added 3 little ball bearings as a standard, changing the game forever. amazing. i love elegant solutions
	2:52pm Mr Nobody: A reason to drive slow and carefully. lol
	2:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Dean, what a pity there seem to be no english subs anywhere for the Tolonen doc I talked about yesterday. Otherwise I could have been able to share with you my copy in spite of the geographical distance
	2:53pm Funky16Corners: I have to get this album out
	2:53pm Listener Bob in PGH: Haha, that reminds me of an old 70s TV commercial for some luxury car where they have a jeweler cutting a diamond on the backseat to demonstrate how smooth the ride was
	2:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Hah, Peter Gabriel had a rather cool reversed mohawk in that Mick Rock documentary (I was tempted to write Mick Rock Doc)
	2:54pm Dean: There are car turntables and car turntables: https://www.mckinleyelevator.com/products/car-turntables/ Heh, speaking of Genesis comps. This track (or its official release) was on the 8-track I had.
	🦇 2:54pm Handy Haversack: Another great show, Julie, and another great afternoon with you and the very fine folx who hang out around you. It really is always a pleasure.
	🦇 2:54pm Julie: very cool
	2:54pm spodiodi: or the SNL(?) commercial where a rabbi is performing a Bris in the backseat of a luxury car to prove how smoother
	🦇 2:54pm Julie: thanks for listening everyone!
	🦇 2:54pm Julie: oh spodi I remember that one!
	2:55pm Photocopy Cha Cha: the said Mick Rock flick had also some homebaked footage of Syd I had never seen before.
	2:55pm Listener Bob in PGH: yeah, i think that's what they were spoofing
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Julie!
	2:55pm Dean: You know, PCC, I might wanna see that Tolonen thing anyway, just to see him. I assume it has old footage of his playing?
	2:55pm Mx Granny: My golly, is it over already? Thanks Julie, and take good care of your beautiful self. That goes for the rest of you, too. Sub your preferred adjective!
	2:56pm Michael 98145: love the conversations here
	2:56pm Mr Nobody: @Listener Bob that would be the 1972 Mercury Grand Marquis. I will admit I cheated and looked it up but it was a commercial I had seen before.
	2:56pm StringOFperils: Thank you for arranging all of that...bye.
	🦇 2:56pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Julie!
	2:56pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:55 Dean: well a bit, but I guess it is more about the changes in his life situation
	2:56pm spodiodi: cool, Bob -- not sure i know it!
	2:57pm Mx Granny: what Michael 98145 said! ^^
	2:57pm Mr Nobody: Thanks Julie! Adios all.
	2:58pm Dean: That's really interesting, PCC. I mean, his music is what brought him a modicum of celebrity.
	🦇 2:58pm Julie: I think I need to see this Mick Rock Doc
	2:58pm Photocopy Cha Cha: once again, so cool you do this Julie, even if you have had plenty on your plate recently! Even if I showed up rather late to the chatboard, I enjoyed all 3 hours of this.
	🦇 2:59pm Julie: thank you Cha Cha! and I do appreciate your pointing out the sound issues, hopefully all is fixed now!
	2:59pm spodiodi: StringO, i think you're right re: Bond -- thanks for that memory
	2:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @2:58 Julie: you hae yet to see it? at least on Finnish netflix, probably yours too. it is called SHOT! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra of Rock
	3:00pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Julie!
	3:00pm Photocopy Cha Cha: yes julie, sounds perfect!
	🦇 3:00pm Julie: thanks everyone!
	3:00pm brainiac: That was great, Julie! Feel better soon.
