	12:26am ToTetsu: man. I was reading about Albuquerque yesterday. There is a big google sheet of police violence videos. In there there was one of a posse of Albuquerque cops roll up to an old guy lazing in a bus stop and then waste him with an AR. The police department there has been so bad for so many years.. Hiring people that other departments wouldn't take. Killing scores of mentally ill people each year, with no statergy to deal with these people, and then politically freezing out their own district attorney in retaliation for prosecuting some cops where there was clear video of them killing an other homeless guy
	12:31am BH: One of the people arrested in Albuquerque had been a candidate for office (finishing 5th of 6 for a city council spot). So, that arrest might hinder future failed bids.
	12:33am Joe B: wow great pick with Sheila E! topical and great
	12:33am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Greetings, Ira and WFMU pals! YAY Sheila E!
	12:34am ?: I’m sorry I don’t speak Yodel lengua
	12:35am Paper Moog: Erdu I
	12:37am Ira: I'm sure they're out there, but what musical family is as wide-ranging as the Escovedos?
	12:37am Paper Moog: Can you play I Ooh Ooh by Imperial Teen live from hobo con?
	12:41am Joe B: I can't think of one
	12:41am Mike W: the Partridges?
	12:43am Michael Shelley: what musical family is as wide-ranging as the Escovedos? hmmmmmm????
	12:44am Artemesia Shamsky: Lambchop is so good!
	12:45am Scott Williams: and that segue from Sheila E to Lambchop, magic!
	12:46am mariano: Ooh I know, the Ramones.
	12:47am Ira: Mariano, I hate to break this to you, but they're not really brothers.
	12:49am Joe B: then how about the Walker Brothers?
	12:49am Mike W: there’s like three good segues just within this Lambchop song
	12:49am Mike W: Were the Banana Splits considered a family
	12:50am mariano: Lies, Ira! Lies! What makes you lie?!
	12:52am Paper Moog: Molly Tuttle, Sullivan Tuttle (Blue Summit), Jack Tuttle
	12:52am Joeybug69: Can’t spell “Ira” without “radio.” Let the airwaves flow!
	12:53am Chris H: Lambchop was so good last fall in Brooklyn. Oh what I would give for another show.
	12:53am Jim the Poet: Hey Ira and everyone.
	12:54am Joe B: @Mike - good point. they are now - game over!
	12:55am Artemesia Shamsky: I only know Lambchop because they opened for YLT on Leap Day in 2000.
	12:56am flashbazbo: Wilson. Now which one?
	12:57am Scott Williams: Turning the skeleton key over to Carol now, goodnight Ira and Iraniacs!
	12:57am Jim the Poet: Bye Scott, looking forward to your show! Hello, Ruth!
	12:57am Paper Moog: Oh, are you?!
	12:58am Jim the Poet: Oops, I mean Carol
	12:59am Paper Moog: This reminds me of listening to Casey Kasem AT 40 in 1978
	1:07am nanspired: This Pointer Sisters song is really hitting the spot right now.
	1:09am JuneBeesMatthews: YES Pointer Sisters! Alright it's official new favorite segment on WFMU <3
	1:10am Tookie Wuthry Guffy: getting down on music i would usually scoff at
	1:11am Ira: That's what we're here for, Tookie.
	1:11am mariano: Night Scott, heya Carol!
	1:12am Joe B: during the baseball strike in 1981, Doug Flynn toured with the Oak Ridge Boys, playing rhythm guitar and singing backups
	1:17am Joe B: Tom Snow is the co writer - he also plays the great synth hook on he's so shy
	1:18am BH: Weezer is a band where there's a gap between how good I think their singles are and how good I think the rest of their albums are. Which might be controversial since some people aren't gonna give Weezer credit for the singles?
	1:18am Chris H: I heard Jay Horowitz on the radio the other day tell a story about how Frank Cashen wanted to fire him after they all wore cowboy hats at the Lone Star Cafe to celebrate Doug Flynn’s signing.
	1:19am Joe B: @BH - good one
	1:20am Mike W: oh i’ve been wanting to hear this Don Howland, thanks Ira! (update, transient random-noise bursts continue into wednesday in the Least Village, dog is I-Rate)
	1:20am Ira: Chris H, at first I thought you wrote that Frank Cashen wanted to fire Jay Horowitz for celebrating Doug Flynn's SINGING.
	1:22am Paper Moog: Bonnie Pointer went to same high school as Curt Flood and Ricky Henderson. As did my mother in law Maggie Davis who is listening tonite on the down low under the covers at an undisclosed East Bay mad skills so to speak joint.
	1:23am Ira: Was Rickey already referring to himself in the third person?
	1:25am Paper Moog: No, that was his sister
	1:26am Paper Moog: Oakland Tech, though in those days it was called Oakland Low Tech
	1:28am mariano: Interesting about Doug Flynn. Are there any other musician pro athletes? I mean good enough to play with a professional band like Flynn did.
	1:34am Joe B: bronson arroyo has sat in with dropkick murphys and pearl jam but i think those were one offs (or two-offs)
	1:34am BH: also I was kinda surprised to find that the Pointer Sisters group is now a Ruth+Ruth's daughter+Ruth's granddaughter... so they could actually keep the group going forever as long as they have enough family members willing to join up
	1:35am Joe B: june and bonnie are dead. anita retired. ruth, still going strong, is the oldest
	1:37am Joe B: I'm ok with the family members - was always a family group anyway.
	1:37am Tim in NC: Quite a few NBA players-turned-rappers, never heard any of Shaq's stuff but he's probably the most famous example. Damian Lillard puts out music from time to time
	1:40am CarolCrow: Hello Jim the Poet, mariano, Ira & everyone! Glad to be here:)
	1:41am BH: "Champions" by the former Ron Artest could be plausibly good. There's also an Artest tribute song to Michael Jackson with was weird even then. Also on checking Wikipedia, they're formatted the list of former Oak Ridge Boys members across 4 columns and there's a "This section does not cite any sources" notice. The Oak Ridge Boys will do their best to make a run at having a 100 year anniversary
	1:41am Joe B: hey Carol! thanks for skeletoning
	1:41am Ira: Glad you're there, Carol!
	1:43am CarolCrow: Hey Joe B! Always nice to "see" you! :)
	1:43am Paper Moog: Golden glove man and country harmonizer Doug Flynn shares or shared a birthday with blues fiddler Clarence Gatemouth Brown, punk pundit Kathy Acker and Dartmouth grad Robert Christgau (Village Voice)
	1:43am CarolCrow: It's all sounding great here in JC:)
	1:45am Mike W: what’d you call me
	1:45am tortilladc: just tuned in from LA to hear Ira's voice on the stream!
	1:45am Joe B: THE 2 AM HOT TAKE
	1:45am Buena Vista Projects: I heard that!
	1:45am Dungaroos Kipawah: Haha, we all heard it!
	1:46am Joe B: You've done it now - Toddophonic has Billy Bremner on speed dial
	1:51am Paper Moog: On the back of an early Don Cherry record it says that Sanders’ nickname was “Little Rock” whereas tonite show is Little Rock, little Jazz, little punk, funk and pop.
	1:52am jj.: if buffalo springfield had called it "what's that sound," the uniques never would've recorded their wonderfully synaesthetic "watch this sound" www.youtube.com...
	1:54am Joe B: ahmet ertegun did make them add the parenthetical (Stop, Hey What's That Sound) to the 45 label once the record was taking off for the second pressing
	1:55am Joe B: buffalo springfield that is, not the uniques!
	1:55am Mr. Pumpy: Hello Ira and all friends and listeners. I've not had much in me to post, but I'm thankful for WoofMu and all the rest in my life. Peace!
	1:56am jj.: that advice might've helped the uniques, too.
	1:56am Ira: We're thankful that you're listening, Mr. P. Like Mr. Ed, no need to talk unless you have something to say.
	2:00am Hubig Pie: Nothing to say cept this is groovy
	2:02am mariano: Thanks for the sports/music answers. Hey Mr. P.
	2:04am Paper Moog: “What’s What Sound, Maan?”
	2:06am Tim in NC: is this the version on the Hitchhiker record from a few years back? Homegrown is available 2 days early on the NYArchives as of tonight for anyone with a subscription, btw!
	2:14am Mr. Pumpy: What's this Mr. Ed on about?
	2:15am Hubig Pie: Now I'm 14
	2:19am pp: after all these years finally realized Rodfish the Codfish was trying to call from Minnesota
	2:20am Joe B: @Tim - yes
	2:22am Chris H: Better late than never!
	2:27am Hubig Pie: There will be hell to pay. G'night all yooz
	2:29am mariano: 'Night Hubig
	2:34am goyim in the am: Ooh, this isn’t the version with the greatest out of tunevocal of all time. :-(
	2:37am Hubig Pie: G'night Mariano, here's to dreams of shell barges floating down the Industrial Canal
	2:38am mariano: Lol Hubig!
	2:39am Mike W: bathroom break everyone!
	2:39am tom: the larke sisters have a sassy sound
	2:40am Mike W: I saw them do this on the Frying Pan one night and it altered the city
	2:40am Ira: Mike W, to paraphrase the Jerry Lewis telethon slogan: You miss a light, you miss a lot.
	2:46am Mike W: not that this isn’t a perfect 2:40am song but also did you run out of records (p.s. i love this side, i was just remarking on the side-ness of it)
	2:48am Ira: First time I heard them play this, I never wanted it to end. Every time I've heard this, I've never wanted it to end.
	2:54am mariano: Thanks Ira, thanks Carol, nighty-night everyone!
	2:56am Ira: Thanks for listening & thanks for your comments. See you next week, I hope (except for the part about "seeing" you).
	2:56am 12539: Thanks, Ira! and Carol!
	2:57am Joe B: thanks Ira and Carol. maybe we'll hear Gerald's dad on the next show!
	2:58am Mike W: Thank you Ira!
	2:59am Tim in NC: thanks for a great show!
	2:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. You got it!
	4:50pm efd: I am going to repeat that 2am Nick Lowe hot take on my show next week. PREPARE FOR THE BACKLASH.
	4:51pm Jimpeet: Portable speaker in the other room...could have sworn you said Eno, Desi and Billy. Has Eno ever worked with them?
