	7:25pm LambdaCalculus: I've gotta get this album into my library.
	🇰🇷 7:29pm chresti: Outtasite avatar Granny!
	🇰🇷 7:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You spoil us Gary.
	7:39pm northguineahills: I had a Greek coworker give me a bunch of Rembetika vinyl he had from his parents...
	7:41pm Gary: NGH!
	7:41pm Doug Schulkind: Ah! Abatzi!
	🇰🇷 7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow. Ancient resonance it seems. Anything these longitudes always fascinates me as the boundary of East & West.
	7:45pm peter: wow, i just just listening to some Greek records before i switched over! if you haven't heard, I highly recommend Greek Town, USA (Volumes I and II): A Salute To New York's Bouzoukee Casbahs from Alector Records
	7:46pm Gary: Oh, I don't know those; I'll have to check them out. Thanks, Peter!
	7:51pm Labros: Hi from Athens, Greece!
	7:52pm Gary: Labros, hello and welcome!
	7:53pm Labros: The song is about a poor greek guy from Piraeus who found a rich princess from Morocco because ''greek girls are poor'' as he says
	7:54pm Labros: ''Ego Thelo Prigipesa'' = I want a princess
	7:56pm Gary: Ah, thank you, Labros!
	7:58pm Labros: you're welcome, I'm a musician and I play these songs. Btw, the songs you have played so far are not so popular nowadays, unfortunately.
	🇰🇷 8:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Labros: so cool to hear your perspective on these tunes, thanks!
	8:02pm Labros: This is a tradiotional melody. There's another version with lyrics talking about a guy who transported drugs and got busted
	8:04pm Labros: Lemneiko, from the island ''Lemnos''. Zeibekiko is a popular dance.
	🇰🇷 8:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Labros !
	8:06pm Labros: you're welcome guys. I can feel the pain of people listening to music of which they have no clue. It happens to me too
	8:06pm northguineahills: Now do Nollywood sndtrks!
	8:08pm Gary: Super thrilled to have an insider's insights, thanks again, Labros
	8:08pm northguineahills: efcharisto, Labros!
	8:10pm Doug Schulkind: "Btw, the songs you have played so far are not so popular nowadays." — Labros "That's kind of our business model here on Give the Drummer Radio." — Doug Schulkind
	🇰🇷 8:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): right on!
	8:11pm Dean: I doubt that too many listeners at WFMU "have no clue" about music to which they had not been previously exposed.
	8:12pm northguineahills: The Wire did a primer on rembetika about 16 years ago (it's online if you have a subscription). I used that w/ phonetically transliterating the titles of the records I just got to Latin script to figure out what they were about. (I don't speak Greek, but the primer hads some of the same artists and titles).
	8:12pm Gary: Dean!
	8:12pm northguineahills: of course, if they were in English, I wouldn't have known what they are about>
	8:14pm northguineahills: Oh, and Dylan Nyoukis was doing a psyche rembetika project. I think some of it can be found on Bandcamp (or ordered from his Chocolate Monk rec label).
	🇰🇷 8:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: most of what i hear on WFMU is unfamiliar to me, and it just keeps piling up around me. I love it!
	🇰🇷 8:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): actually, it's either unfamiliar to me, or someone i know personally!
	8:15pm Gary: Yeah, ha, I consider myself at least well-enough informed to "get to" do this, and I find myself in the dark most of the time I'm listening to this crazy station
	8:17pm Labros: northguineahills The Wire is my most favourite TV show of all times!
	🇰🇷 8:17pm chresti: ngh, cool!
	8:17pm Dean: Right, GST. My point is that we do have clues, we're open to oddly unsettling stuff, we know that the avenues into music are multiple, and that even when we find ourselves in a musical dark alley, we know how to or at least want to suss out the territory.
	8:18pm Labros: oops wrong wire I guess
	8:19pm Gary: I will say, Labros, when I posted some Stelios Kazantzidis to my music blog many years ago, a reader wrote in to ask me if I was inspired to post it by having just watched The Wire
	8:20pm Gary: I hadn't seen The Wire at that point, but I checked out the DVDs from the library soon after
	🇰🇷 8:21pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: it really is a rare treasure, this WFMU
	8:24pm 23 Wolves: Really fantastic music tonight, thanks a bunch.
	🇰🇷 8:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being in over my head is one of the primary reasons I'm dedicated to WFMU. You don't want your culture all figured out - you want to be continuously learning - & really to be submerged & swimming in it - like it's a living current - not some stagnant or desiccated formula product. Which is perhaps no more than my hunger being more insatiable than my discomfort with being unfamiliar - or my embarassment in being under-informed can keep down...
	8:24pm Gary: Holy Crap, there are 23 of you, Mrs. or Mss. Wolves?
	8:25pm northguineahills: @Labros: I love The Wire (the TV show) as well. The rembetika primer was in The Wire (the British music and art magazine(
	8:26pm 23 Wolves: At minimum! And that is well said, RR11/63, really good distillation of what makes WFMU great.
	8:27pm zzzm: hello. catching up late
	8:28pm Gary: Zzzm!
	8:30pm Dean: I'm gonna push against RevRab's comment, just slightly. You also want your continuous learning to proceed in very familiar arenas. For example, I spent quality time over the weekend reading and re-reading poems of Wallace Stevens. New? No. But rewarding? Yes.
	8:31pm Labros: @northguineahills: Yes, I know the magazine, don't know why I understood the TV show haha
	8:35pm tim abdellah: Damn, I legit thought it was Tuesday today. Hi Gary and everyone!
	8:36pm Gary: Tiiiiimmm!
	🇰🇷 8:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Dean: One major takeaway from the book 'This Is Your Brain On Music' is the idea that a large part of the appeal of music is a particular balance of familiarity & novelty. Since this is a book about what music & neurology can tell us about each other - my question is if course why does the FMUvian understand this balance so differently than the mainstteam radio listener ! I don't doubt most every FMUvian has familiar favorites - I sure as hell do - but there is also this hunger of which I speak...
	8:40pm Gary: This next track goes out to 23 Wolves!
	8:40pm northguineahills: Dutch hop!
	8:44pm EvaNeva: @LambdaCalculus I was on the verge of thinking of being a millionaire, but i didnt.
	8:45pm Gary: EvaNeva!
	8:46pm Dean: I don't know "This Is Your Brain...," but I do get science. Such a finding--that "appeal" is a function of "familiarity" and "novelty"--is rife with ambiguity. I'm happy to let neuroscientists conduct their experiments, but at this stage in our evolution, science doesn't "get" art. Any scientist worth her credentials will admit as much.
	8:54pm EvaNeva: This is Your Brain On Music should be renamed This Is Your Brain Convincing You That There Is Any Point To This Book Whatsoever
	🇰🇷 9:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Haha! Its a fairly dense book - it's not reducible to that observation - if it deserves to be called one or not. I also found it interesting to learn of the part different parts of the brain play in processing a sound - & the fact it happens in so many of them...
	9:01pm EvaNeva: He's making it all up
	9:02pm EvaNeva: God absolutely is bullshit
	9:03pm zzzm: maan working in kallisto as we speak
	9:04pm Dean: I don't imagine it's a matter of "making it up," but I do wonder what the scope of "processing a sound" encompasses. Some pop science jerk-offs are hubristic. I have no idea what this guy thinks, but...baby steps, folks...baby steps. We learn incrementally.
	9:04pm northguineahills: i read peer review journals for fun (there might be something wrong w/ me, I mean, who does that?)
	9:05pm LambdaCalculus: I think my sister has a copy of This Is Your Brain on Music.
	9:05pm EvaNeva: jerk-offs
	9:05pm Dean: I do, too, NGH.
	9:06pm northguineahills: My last job sometimes included me editing the aqauchemical biology reports to the state quarterly. (and I can spell or grammar)
	9:08pm northguineahills: I have some Journal of the American Medical Association on my desk right now. (and it has nothing to do w/ my profession)
	9:08pm northguineahills: I wish there was a recording of Lee burning down the Black Ark....
	🇰🇷 9:17pm WR: Oh Lard NGH, you says the wildest things.
	9:19pm Gary: WR!
	🇰🇷 9:19pm WR: Sorry to say I've been on a service call and have had this show low low low so I could only just barely follow the flow. Here for the last lap.
	9:20pm Gary: Hope the servicin' went well, tho
	🇰🇷 9:21pm WR: I was going to remark when you started with the New Orleans Indian songs but was swept away.
	9:21pm northguineahills: (oh, I can't spell or grammar, but everyone here knew that).
	9:30pm Franco Twinkie: Me neither NGH, but I persist. Why? because I just can't shut up!
	🇰🇷 9:47pm WR: Everybody gramma ok for me.
	9:47pm Gary: Grammar Grammar Hey
	🇰🇷 9:51pm chresti: Beautiful fantastic lovely show, Gary!
	9:51pm Gary: Stick around after this show for Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: Changed Horse Who the Changeless Love Still Serve wfmu.org...
	9:52pm northguineahills: The liminanas is the only band in this set I recognize...
	9:53pm Gary: Everything this set comes courtesy the fine folks at troubleinmindrecords.bandcamp.com
	🇰🇷 9:54pm chresti: Wow, thanks Gary!
	9:56pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks, Gary!
	9:57pm tim abdellah: Good night, music heads! Thanks Gary!
	9:57pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks for another awesome show!
	9:58pm northguineahills: merci, Gary!
	9:59pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!

	8:14pm northguineahills: Oh, and Dylan Nyoukis was doing a psyche rembetika project. I think some of it can be found on Bandcamp (or ordered from his Chocolate Monk rec label).
	🇰🇷 8:14pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: most of what i hear on WFMU is unfamiliar to me, and it just keeps piling up around me. I love it!
	🇰🇷 8:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): actually, it's either unfamiliar to me, or someone i know personally!
	8:15pm Gary: Yeah, ha, I consider myself at least well-enough informed to "get to" do this, and I find myself in the dark most of the time I'm listening to this crazy station
	8:17pm Labros: northguineahills The Wire is my most favourite TV show of all times!
	🇰🇷 8:17pm chresti: ngh, cool!
	8:17pm Dean: Right, GST. My point is that we do have clues, we're open to oddly unsettling stuff, we know that the avenues into music are multiple, and that even when we find ourselves in a musical dark alley, we know how to or at least want to suss out the territory.
	8:18pm Labros: oops wrong wire I guess
	8:19pm Gary: I will say, Labros, when I posted some Stelios Kazantzidis to my music blog many years ago, a reader wrote in to ask me if I was inspired to post it by having just watched The Wire
	8:20pm Gary: I hadn't seen The Wire at that point, but I checked out the DVDs from the library soon after
	🇰🇷 8:21pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Dean: it really is a rare treasure, this WFMU
	8:24pm 23 Wolves: Really fantastic music tonight, thanks a bunch.
	🇰🇷 8:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Being in over my head is one of the primary reasons I'm dedicated to WFMU. You don't want your culture all figured out - you want to be continuously learning - & really to be submerged & swimming in it - like it's a living current - not some stagnant or desiccated formula product. Which is perhaps no more than my hunger being more insatiable than my discomfort with being unfamiliar - or my embarassment in being under-informed can keep down...
	8:24pm Gary: Holy Crap, there are 23 of you, Mrs. or Mss. Wolves?
	8:25pm northguineahills: @Labros: I love The Wire (the TV show) as well. The rembetika primer was in The Wire (the British music and art magazine(
	8:26pm 23 Wolves: At minimum! And that is well said, RR11/63, really good distillation of what makes WFMU great.
	8:27pm zzzm: hello. catching up late
	8:28pm Gary: Zzzm!
	8:30pm Dean: I'm gonna push against RevRab's comment, just slightly. You also want your continuous learning to proceed in very familiar arenas. For example, I spent quality time over the weekend reading and re-reading poems of Wallace Stevens. New? No. But rewarding? Yes.
	8:31pm Labros: @northguineahills: Yes, I know the magazine, don't know why I understood the TV show haha
	8:35pm tim abdellah: Damn, I legit thought it was Tuesday today. Hi Gary and everyone!
	8:36pm Gary: Tiiiiimmm!
	🇰🇷 8:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Dean: One major takeaway from the book 'This Is Your Brain On Music' is the idea that a large part of the appeal of music is a particular balance of familiarity & novelty. Since this is a book about what music & neurology can tell us about each other - my question is if course why does the FMUvian understand this balance so differently than the mainstteam radio listener ! I don't doubt most every FMUvian has familiar favorites - I sure as hell do - but there is also this hunger of which I speak...
	8:40pm Gary: This next track goes out to 23 Wolves!
	8:40pm northguineahills: Dutch hop!
	8:44pm EvaNeva: @LambdaCalculus I was on the verge of thinking of being a millionaire, but i didnt.
	8:45pm Gary: EvaNeva!
	8:46pm Dean: I don't know "This Is Your Brain...," but I do get science. Such a finding--that "appeal" is a function of "familiarity" and "novelty"--is rife with ambiguity. I'm happy to let neuroscientists conduct their experiments, but at this stage in our evolution, science doesn't "get" art. Any scientist worth her credentials will admit as much.
	8:54pm EvaNeva: This is Your Brain On Music should be renamed This Is Your Brain Convincing You That There Is Any Point To This Book Whatsoever
	🇰🇷 9:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Haha! Its a fairly dense book - it's not reducible to that observation - if it deserves to be called one or not. I also found it interesting to learn of the part different parts of the brain play in processing a sound - & the fact it happens in so many of them...
	9:01pm EvaNeva: He's making it all up
	9:02pm EvaNeva: God absolutely is bullshit
	9:03pm zzzm: maan working in kallisto as we speak
	9:04pm Dean: I don't imagine it's a matter of "making it up," but I do wonder what the scope of "processing a sound" encompasses. Some pop science jerk-offs are hubristic. I have no idea what this guy thinks, but...baby steps, folks...baby steps. We learn incrementally.
	9:04pm northguineahills: i read peer review journals for fun (there might be something wrong w/ me, I mean, who does that?)
	9:05pm LambdaCalculus: I think my sister has a copy of This Is Your Brain on Music.
	9:05pm EvaNeva: jerk-offs
	9:05pm Dean: I do, too, NGH.
	9:06pm northguineahills: My last job sometimes included me editing the aqauchemical biology reports to the state quarterly. (and I can spell or grammar)
	9:08pm northguineahills: I have some Journal of the American Medical Association on my desk right now. (and it has nothing to do w/ my profession)
	9:08pm northguineahills: I wish there was a recording of Lee burning down the Black Ark....
	🇰🇷 9:17pm WR: Oh Lard NGH, you says the wildest things.
	9:19pm Gary: WR!
	🇰🇷 9:19pm WR: Sorry to say I've been on a service call and have had this show low low low so I could only just barely follow the flow. Here for the last lap.
	9:20pm Gary: Hope the servicin' went well, tho
	🇰🇷 9:21pm WR: I was going to remark when you started with the New Orleans Indian songs but was swept away.
	9:21pm northguineahills: (oh, I can't spell or grammar, but everyone here knew that).
	9:30pm Franco Twinkie: Me neither NGH, but I persist. Why? because I just can't shut up!
	🇰🇷 9:47pm WR: Everybody gramma ok for me.
	9:47pm Gary: Grammar Grammar Hey
	🇰🇷 9:51pm chresti: Beautiful fantastic lovely show, Gary!
	9:51pm Gary: Stick around after this show for Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: Changed Horse Who the Changeless Love Still Serve wfmu.org...
	9:52pm northguineahills: The liminanas is the only band in this set I recognize...
	9:53pm Gary: Everything this set comes courtesy the fine folks at troubleinmindrecords.bandcamp.com
	🇰🇷 9:54pm chresti: Wow, thanks Gary!
	9:56pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks, Gary!
	9:57pm tim abdellah: Good night, music heads! Thanks Gary!
	9:57pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks for another awesome show!
	9:58pm northguineahills: merci, Gary!
	9:59pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!
