	9:46pm DktrFaustus: Definitely, and the many chef's pop-ups.
	♥ 9:48pm melinda: Nice to hear Jimmie Dale.
	9:51pm nardo: I second that Melinda.
	9:53pm Carmichael: Wow, John Hartford. Nicely done, Jesse.

	♥ 10:04pm Richy4619: Yeah my Haight street gal Jen and I got a nod too. Haha. Omgoshhh Jesse Jarnowww <333
	♥ 10:06pm chris_in_space: I'm groovin' high with the Frow to-night. Killer show @JJ and skelcrew.

	10:07pm John Purcell: SY at the Bowery Ballroom sounds like a dream
	10:09pm nardo: nice to hear TNV too (here in Cbus).
	♥ 10:09pm mariano: Hmm... trying to remember if I was at this SY show or not.
	10:10pm John Purcell: My first SY show was in NYC but at Webster Hall. Great show.
	♥ 10:11pm Chop Scott: Enjoying the program tonight JJ & skeleton Scott W.--Thanks!
	♥ 10:11pm chris_in_space: Yeah this SY slaps deep
	10:14pm slugluv1313: hah! Karenology :) (weird, ALL the people i know who are named "Karen" are the most UN-"Karen" types you will ever meet!) most definitely was not at this show -- was still really reeling from 9/11 . . . went to some events though, which helped immensely
	10:15pm DktrFaustus: Didn't notice that show was so soon after
	♥ 10:17pm mariano: slugluv: Same with the Karens I know. One of them is my aunt, the other is my mail carrier, both of them amazingly sweet. And you're right - I must've seen SY the year before or after, I was pretty reclusive for the first month or two after 9/11.
	10:18pm DktrFaustus: Makes sense
	♥ 10:22pm ParUbi: Hello Jesse, hi everybody
	10:25pm northguineahills: In NYC, I don't believe it achieved the rhythms of 'normal' until after Halloween.
	10:25pm DktrFaustus: Ahoy
	10:26pm DktrFaustus: I wound up back in NY a year later
	♥ 10:26pm Richy4619: Cheers to the good, sweet Karens out there enduring this shitty moment with humor + humility
	10:26pm DktrFaustus: Poor Karens!
	♥ 10:28pm Richy4619: And cheers to all mail carriers !!!
	10:31pm slugluv1313: @ mariano -- one of the coolest people i know is named Karen! incredible painter, artist, photographer, all around spectacular human :) & yeah, i remember a DJ friend held an event in a film studio-type place in Brooklyn (i think it was called The Family?) -- deep reggae dub, roots music, etc. -- i think there was food too (from incredibly generous Rasta cooks, restaurants) . . . anyway, it was really really nice to be out with friends, like-minded people . . . and had just started volunteering with World Music Institute, so being at those shows was equally "healing"
	10:34pm slugluv1313: i think the first Sonic Youth show i saw was at Folk City? early 80s, "Music for Dozens" night, iirc -- Kim Gordon was still taping her glasses together
	♥ 10:34pm Chop Scott: My Mother is named Karen. She was appalled when I related the current use.
	10:35pm slugluv1313: @ Chop Scott -- oh no!
	10:35pm DktrFaustus: First for me was Turin Italy, 1990.
	♥ 10:35pm jj.: @slugluv1313 that music for dozens show would've been put on by WFMU DJ ira the k.
	♥ 10:36pm jj.: the main karen i know is someone i also associate with sonic youth + is definitely high on the list of most un-karens to ever karen.
	10:36pm slugluv1313: WOW Jesse! i went to a buncha those shows
	10:38pm northguineahills: For me, I first saw SY in Atlanta, GA in 1996...
	10:39pm northguineahills: in NYC, I only saw SY once, but I saw the members of SY in solo and side projects almost a dozen times while there....
	♥ 10:40pm Richy4619: i slung online merch for SY . kung Fu nation = ))
	♥ 10:46pm mariano: ngh: Yeah same here, lots of solo/side stuff, one of the joys of NYC life. Last time it happened by surprise, must've been around 2012. Was riding my bike around the Village on a Sat night, went past St. Mark's in the Bowery and heard this gorgeous noise. It was close to the end of the show so they just let me in, was Kim Gordon and some guy making noise with guitars. '96 would've been the Washing Machine tour, caught that one at the Warfield in SF. Amazing show.
	10:50pm northguineahills: Oh, yeah, I saw SY in Central Park twice as well. kalimbas and mbiras, oh my!
	♥ 10:51pm Richy4619: mariano, perhaps that was Bill Nace of their duo Body/Head?
	♥ 10:53pm Richy4619: they played my art gallery once! I told Kim not to lean her guitar case on my friend's paintings and she gave me the death stare lol
	♥ 10:54pm Richy4619: I asked Kim, rather! sheesh. I'm shushhing up now
	♥ 10:58pm mariano: Richy: Might well have been Body/Head, I'm not very familiar with them.
	11:02pm northguineahills: I was at a Merzbow show, and was wondering who that fit woman was in front of me. It was Kim. Thurston and Lee always were good humored to me. Kim was always stand-offish. I can understand w/ the fan bois and in rock circles, the misogyny.....
	11:03pm DktrFaustus: I was greeted with that stare too :-)
	11:04pm slugluv1313: Kim RULES that Stare!
	♥ 11:06pm mariano: Yeah, the few times I've been in the vicinity of Kim Gordon she exuded a don't-fuck-with-me vibe. Steve Shelley's suuuper nice, I spoke with him for a while once.
	11:06pm northguineahills: Jim O'Rourke was sleeping at their SY Murrray St studio on 9/11. He said he woke up w/ the first hit and saw and engine of one of the planes down the block.
	11:06pm slugluv1313: damn, i missed Merzbow last time he swooped through NYC :(
	11:07pm DktrFaustus: Steve brought my friend and I a bowl of fruit after the show because the restaurants were closed.
	11:08pm northguineahills: @slugluv1313: I saw him 3 times. The aforementioned show was at the Swiss Inst, all of SY was there, Arto Lindsey, and David Byrne. (and more)
	♥ 11:10pm chris_in_space: Yeah @Scott Williams—the heartbeat of a station!
	11:11pm slugluv1313: somewhere i have that Italian Sonic Youth book from the 90s -- to paraphrase Bob Bert in his review, "worth it for the photo of Thurston selling ChipWich on the street" . . . near Columbus Circle, iirc -- where i worked in the early 80s! still wonder if i walked by him without realizing it
	11:15pm DktrFaustus: Wow, I found the photo. It's true.
	♥ 11:15pm Richy4619: Steve Shelley is my true love !
	♥ 11:16pm mariano: DktrF: Aww, what a mensch! An ex of mine I'm really good friends with was part of the NYC poetry scene with the guy she ended up marrying, ended up in the same circle as Thurston. She once gave him some weed that I'd given her and he wrote her an email complimenting her on it. He wrote something like "Your husband smoke any of that kill?" "That kill," hah! Because that's exactly how he would say that.
	♥ 11:16pm mariano: *DKtrF: I mean "Aww" in reference to @11:07.
	11:17pm DktrFaustus: :-)
	11:18pm slugluv1313: @ ngh -- damn! jealous -- have never seen him (and yeah, i totally adore his animal liberation stuff too -- those birds!)
	11:19pm slugluv1313: @ DktrFaustus -- cool!
	11:19pm DktrFaustus: It is often the small kindnesses that one remembers.
	11:20pm slugluv1313: EXACTLY
	11:21pm DktrFaustus: Not sure if I can post the URL for the photo here
	11:21pm DktrFaustus: 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	11:22pm slugluv1313: cool! love Thurston's enthusiasm
	11:22pm DktrFaustus: Ha!
	♥ 11:23pm mariano: Wow, what a beanpole!
	11:25pm northguineahills: @Slugluv: The odd thing, is I saw Merzbow also at the Japanese Cultural Institute, so, that makes 2 cultural institutes I saw him at (the other show was Tonic).
	♥ 11:25pm chris_in_space: This show tonight. I mean... it's rockin' my little scene.
	11:31pm slugluv1313: @ngh -- DAMN! way cool -- i had to look it up, he was at KnockDown Center in Queens, December 2018 (and once again, i found out AFTER it happened, ugh!)
	♥ 11:32pm zzz: oh my god RANA!! brining it way back!
	♥ 11:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Were those actual kazoos in the Dew Claw number? Please settle a bet.
	♥ 11:42pm jj.: i hope so!
	11:43pm Grizzled: What's good?
	11:46pm Merzbow: You never saw me. Liars!
	♥ 11:46pm zzz: song is always a treat. so i was thinking about ween after that rana track. what is the link btw the two bands?
	11:48pm east hollywood: Wow. Thanks for this set
	♥ 11:49pm jj.: RANA were sort of associated with the ween/new hope scene, fair bit of crossover. scott played in one of aaron's solo bands, etc.
	11:50pm slugluv1313: awwww WEEN!!!!! my dear little cat BAD BRAIN loved them
	11:52pm northguineahills: @Merzbow: Funny, I also saw the Liars once....(and Thurston was there).
	♥ 11:52pm zzz: cool, miss that time. was a youngin first set loose in the city saw a ton of rana etc shows.
	11:53pm Grizzled: ah, blue bayou
	♥ 11:55pm mariano: Thanks jj, thanks Crew, great hangin' and reminiscing with everyone!
	11:56pm DktrFaustus: Cheers
	♥ 11:56pm Richy4619: ✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩
	♥ 11:56pm zzz: nice one
	♥ 11:57pm Scott Williams: nice take, Sex Mob! nice show, jj!
	11:58pm northguineahills: Thanks, Jesse!
	11:59pm DktrFaustus: Love it.
	12:00am DktrFaustus: Great show Jesse
	12:01am slugluv1313: fantastic show, Jesse -- thanks so much! thanks to Skeleton Scott and y'all here on comments board and lurking in WFMU-land too :)

	♥ 10:40pm Richy4619: i slung online merch for SY . kung Fu nation = ))
	♥ 10:46pm mariano: ngh: Yeah same here, lots of solo/side stuff, one of the joys of NYC life. Last time it happened by surprise, must've been around 2012. Was riding my bike around the Village on a Sat night, went past St. Mark's in the Bowery and heard this gorgeous noise. It was close to the end of the show so they just let me in, was Kim Gordon and some guy making noise with guitars. '96 would've been the Washing Machine tour, caught that one at the Warfield in SF. Amazing show.
	10:50pm northguineahills: Oh, yeah, I saw SY in Central Park twice as well. kalimbas and mbiras, oh my!
	♥ 10:51pm Richy4619: mariano, perhaps that was Bill Nace of their duo Body/Head?
	♥ 10:53pm Richy4619: they played my art gallery once! I told Kim not to lean her guitar case on my friend's paintings and she gave me the death stare lol
	♥ 10:54pm Richy4619: I asked Kim, rather! sheesh. I'm shushhing up now
	♥ 10:58pm mariano: Richy: Might well have been Body/Head, I'm not very familiar with them.
	11:02pm northguineahills: I was at a Merzbow show, and was wondering who that fit woman was in front of me. It was Kim. Thurston and Lee always were good humored to me. Kim was always stand-offish. I can understand w/ the fan bois and in rock circles, the misogyny.....
	11:03pm DktrFaustus: I was greeted with that stare too :-)
	11:04pm slugluv1313: Kim RULES that Stare!
	♥ 11:06pm mariano: Yeah, the few times I've been in the vicinity of Kim Gordon she exuded a don't-fuck-with-me vibe. Steve Shelley's suuuper nice, I spoke with him for a while once.
	11:06pm northguineahills: Jim O'Rourke was sleeping at their SY Murrray St studio on 9/11. He said he woke up w/ the first hit and saw and engine of one of the planes down the block.
	11:06pm slugluv1313: damn, i missed Merzbow last time he swooped through NYC :(
	11:07pm DktrFaustus: Steve brought my friend and I a bowl of fruit after the show because the restaurants were closed.
	11:08pm northguineahills: @slugluv1313: I saw him 3 times. The aforementioned show was at the Swiss Inst, all of SY was there, Arto Lindsey, and David Byrne. (and more)
	♥ 11:10pm chris_in_space: Yeah @Scott Williams—the heartbeat of a station!
	11:11pm slugluv1313: somewhere i have that Italian Sonic Youth book from the 90s -- to paraphrase Bob Bert in his review, "worth it for the photo of Thurston selling ChipWich on the street" . . . near Columbus Circle, iirc -- where i worked in the early 80s! still wonder if i walked by him without realizing it
	11:15pm DktrFaustus: Wow, I found the photo. It's true.
	♥ 11:15pm Richy4619: Steve Shelley is my true love !
	♥ 11:16pm mariano: DktrF: Aww, what a mensch! An ex of mine I'm really good friends with was part of the NYC poetry scene with the guy she ended up marrying, ended up in the same circle as Thurston. She once gave him some weed that I'd given her and he wrote her an email complimenting her on it. He wrote something like "Your husband smoke any of that kill?" "That kill," hah! Because that's exactly how he would say that.
	♥ 11:16pm mariano: *DKtrF: I mean "Aww" in reference to @11:07.
	11:17pm DktrFaustus: :-)
	11:18pm slugluv1313: @ ngh -- damn! jealous -- have never seen him (and yeah, i totally adore his animal liberation stuff too -- those birds!)
	11:19pm slugluv1313: @ DktrFaustus -- cool!
	11:19pm DktrFaustus: It is often the small kindnesses that one remembers.
	11:20pm slugluv1313: EXACTLY
	11:21pm DktrFaustus: Not sure if I can post the URL for the photo here
	11:21pm DktrFaustus: 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	11:22pm slugluv1313: cool! love Thurston's enthusiasm
	11:22pm DktrFaustus: Ha!
	♥ 11:23pm mariano: Wow, what a beanpole!
	11:25pm northguineahills: @Slugluv: The odd thing, is I saw Merzbow also at the Japanese Cultural Institute, so, that makes 2 cultural institutes I saw him at (the other show was Tonic).
	♥ 11:25pm chris_in_space: This show tonight. I mean... it's rockin' my little scene.
	11:31pm slugluv1313: @ngh -- DAMN! way cool -- i had to look it up, he was at KnockDown Center in Queens, December 2018 (and once again, i found out AFTER it happened, ugh!)
	♥ 11:32pm zzz: oh my god RANA!! brining it way back!
	♥ 11:37pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Were those actual kazoos in the Dew Claw number? Please settle a bet.
	♥ 11:42pm jj.: i hope so!
	11:43pm Grizzled: What's good?
	11:46pm Merzbow: You never saw me. Liars!
	♥ 11:46pm zzz: song is always a treat. so i was thinking about ween after that rana track. what is the link btw the two bands?
	11:48pm east hollywood: Wow. Thanks for this set
	♥ 11:49pm jj.: RANA were sort of associated with the ween/new hope scene, fair bit of crossover. scott played in one of aaron's solo bands, etc.
	11:50pm slugluv1313: awwww WEEN!!!!! my dear little cat BAD BRAIN loved them
	11:52pm northguineahills: @Merzbow: Funny, I also saw the Liars once....(and Thurston was there).
	♥ 11:52pm zzz: cool, miss that time. was a youngin first set loose in the city saw a ton of rana etc shows.
	11:53pm Grizzled: ah, blue bayou
