	2:58pm Daya: Ready for a 7 hour show? ☺️ I’ll be here for most of it, have to step away from about 6-7:30, but otherwise I will be listening
	2:59pm listener james from westwood: Whoo—here comes swing-shift Dark Night!

	3:03pm Julie: hi Phillippe!
	3:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Here we go!
	3:04pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hey Phillippe, Ken
	3:04pm listener james from westwood: Paul!
	3:05pm spodiodi: Phillipe!
	3:09pm Phillippe Bastille: I've been thinking about updating my look. Those Paul Williams glasses may be just the ticket!
	3:12pm Julie: it's not that the glasses are big, it's that he is small
	3:14pm Phillippe Bastille: My wife pointed out that my last pair of glasses were quite popular on most serial killers portrayed on tv.
	3:16pm Julie: jeffrey dahmer glasses?
	3:19pm C.S.: So 13 hours of radio this week. How do you do it, Julie?
	3:20pm Julie: I'll let you know when I'm done! hahaha
	3:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Fictionalized serial killers usually sport the old Ray Ban look, kind of like Edward Kemper
	3:23pm Julie: speaking of serial killers, anyone watch Des? I never even knew about that guy
	3:24pm Phillippe Bastille: I have not seen that as of yet. What's it on?
	3:25pm Julie: AMC maybe?? It's got David Tennant in it, only 3 episodes.
	3:27pm Julie: guy in england who killed a bunch of young men
	3:28pm Daya: Haven’t seen Des yet, but might :)
	3:28pm Phillippe Bastille: Well if it has David Tennant in it it has to be good
	3:28pm Julie: oooh i really like this C&J song
	3:28pm Julie: I was trying to figure out if that was his real accent
	3:33pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Like Brenda Dickson said: WELL, HELLO.
	3:33pm Julie: heya Cha Cha! You got your wish, 7 hours!
	3:35pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: It took a while for it to sink in. 7 hours, whoa! Thank you, Julie!
	3:36pm HyperDose: I can tell this is going to be quite the cathartic seven hours!
	3:39pm C.S.: The Hollies
	3:39pm Daya: Hollies?
	3:43pm C.S.: There's that Saturn and Jupiter conjunction thing in the sky. Of course there were clouds yesterday.
	3:48pm Julie: I didn't even try to look honestly
	3:48pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Every time something like that happens, yours truly is too dumb and has no idea what to look for, where and when. I mean I have never even witnessed a solar eclipse!
	3:49pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Lunar eclipses are nicer - you need no equipment and need not fear for your eyes.
	3:50pm C.S.: Ya, in the end it's just going to be two small dots in the sky.
	3:52pm Julie: yep. I saw photos!
	3:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Shortsightedness and small dots on the sky are not a winning combination. Poor me and my scratched specs.
	3:55pm Miles of Middle Texas: Oh hi. I hear that thing about air. Listening
	3:57pm Scott67: G'day Julie & Soulsters. A Bright Morning of the Summer here.
	3:57pm Julie: hi Scott!
	3:57pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Thanks for the tip Julie, I'll try and find Des from somewhere, David Tennant really does look like him in the promo picture, could be good.
	3:58pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Winter greetings to Julie and all the northerners, happy summer to Scott and all those down under!
	3:59pm Scott67: Cheers Granny.
	3:59pm Julie: hiya Granny!
	4:00pm Mx. Granny (e/em): wait what, 7 hours?!?!?! wahooo!!!!
	4:00pm Julie: haha yes
	4:01pm Phillippe Bastille: hey granny!
	4:03pm Scott67: I'm smiling about it Too! A show that will stay with me for half my day a great treat. Stay hydrated Julie ;-)
	4:03pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I’m liking these songs
	4:04pm Julie: yay Sylvia!
	4:06pm Phillippe Bastille: pre-clicky-starred!
	4:08pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Julie and folks. i missed an hour, but there are still six to go. woot! :)
	4:08pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Phillippe Bastille! great to see ya!
	4:09pm chris in the redwoods: and just in time for White Hills! i truly am a lucky duck.
	4:09pm Julie: hi Chris!
	4:11pm chris in the redwoods: got to see White Hills perform live, in SF, a few years back when they were on tour with Ufomammot. fab show.
	4:16pm Julie: ahhh remember going to shows? that was fun
	4:19pm Daya: Last show I was at was LJG and AM! on march 11th :/
	4:19pm chris in the redwoods: oh yes. i've been watching a few travel shows as well. pre-pandemic life was pretty cool.
	4:21pm Julie: man that would just depress me.
	4:23pm chris in the redwoods: i totally understand that sentiment, Julie. for me its an escape to a time that didn't depress me.
	4:32pm chris in the redwoods: amen
	4:32pm Mx. Granny (e/em): hanging in here, Julie! WFMU helps so much! What would i do without this refuge? xoxox
	4:35pm Julie: same! I remember a Xmas I was home alone listening to the station, a VERY long time ago. Definitely helped.
	4:36pm Sylvia (France-NYC): volume went up!
	4:37pm Julie: is it too loud? I saw how low it was
	4:37pm WR: Volume good 👍 👌 🙌
	4:39pm chris in the redwoods: WHAT? :P
	4:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Btw, my Dark Night of the Soul pre-show Vinyl Warm-up has indeed become a regular thing for me - maybe it was in anticipation of a 7 hour show (well it wasn't as I did not know about it until now) but this time I spread it over the course of two nights: so on Monday, Moody Blues was on the menu with Seventh Sojourn & To Our Children's Children's Children, whereas today was a Donovan Tuesday with Sunshine Superman and Barabajagal. I'll have to do this again on Xmas Eve, though with no Xmas music (I have very few Xmas vinyls, basically all of 'em have been inherited from my mam).
	4:40pm Sylvia (France-NYC): ha, that song!
	4:40pm KWilde: Hi Julie! Gotta run - I'll check back in a couple of hours
	4:41pm Julie: Hiya KWilde! Probably not playing xmas music on Xmas eve, but probably some Xmas night.
	4:41pm Julie: something about this song, Sylvia?
	4:42pm Sylvia (France-NYC): shoutout to single people and the ones in LDR 😑
	4:42pm Julie: aw man I knew you liked this band but that was not intentional
	4:43pm KWilde: I'm sure whatever you play will be good
	4:43pm Sylvia (France-NYC): song’s fine, Julie!
	4:44pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I could have done a singalong to it, but too shy (for someone who sings in a band, that’s odd, I know)
	4:45pm Daya: LDR?
	4:45pm Julie: long distance relationship
	4:46pm Daya: Ahhh! Not ideal, but I would even take one of those at this point :/
	4:48pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I’d advise picking same continent then
	4:50pm Daya: I really don’t get a LDR, especially with folks who never even met IRL, but I see it so often. 🤷🏼‍♀️
	4:52pm Julie: I like the idea of a short distance. Someone who is not always underfoot.
	4:52pm Phillippe Bastille: The level of trust required to maintain an LDR is epic. (Source: a person who once tried to maintain an LDR with an untrustworthy and untrusting partner)
	4:53pm Daya: Yes, that would be ideal.
	4:53pm Julie: been there, phillippe!
	4:54pm Daya: Well, trust can be a thing with a non-LDR too, especially in a polycule
	4:54pm Mr Nobody: Hey All!
	4:54pm Julie: heya Mr Nobody!
	4:55pm listener james from westwood: Where the hell was I when this Fibonaccis track came out?!
	4:55pm Scott67: Sylvia, a shout back! Just me & my dog down here. WFMU is my preferred window to the world right now. I have watched two women in my life board airplanes, one back to California. The other back to France.
	4:55pm chris in the redwoods: agreed, Daya! there's no trust like trust in an open or poly relationship
	4:55pm Daya: Agreed!
	4:56pm listener james from westwood: Release this 25 years later and it'd be in the dark cabaret genre for sure.
	4:56pm HyperDose: WFMU should host a lonely hearts valentines day ice cream social!
	4:56pm Julie: I wonder if there are enough songs about serial killers to fill an hour.
	4:57pm chris in the redwoods: there are a few greats on Cave's Murder Ballads
	4:57pm listener james from westwood: There's that Dahmer-themed Oompa-Loompa song. Also "My Name Is Norman Bates" if we're including fictional ones.
	4:58pm Julie: I had no idea who Ed Gein was when I picked that song
	4:58pm Mr Nobody: Sounds like you have homework now Julie. lol
	4:58pm Julie: haha for sure
	5:00pm listener james from westwood: Oh, wow, Gein's story . . . to reiterate, wow.
	5:00pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Scott67 sorry to hear about your experiences You know, I’ve had my share of trust and betrayals. It can happen right under your own roof where you felt the safest. LDR are hard, for many reasons, I wouldn’t say trust is the main one. Trust is a main requirement in any relationship.
	5:00pm Mr Nobody: I would think that fictional serial killers should count.
	5:00pm Julie: yeah there might be enough about real ones
	5:01pm Handy Haversack: Julie! Dark Ones! Sorry we're late. Dentist in Manhattan. Good thing there's still five hours to go!
	5:01pm Julie: hiya Handy!
	5:02pm Fashion Bird John: love the music in the set so far! :)
	5:02pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Handy!
	5:02pm Julie: thanks John! this set is wrapping up but a new one is upcoming!
	5:03pm C.S.: You have spelled out Retro "Fuure" for that album. Typo?
	5:03pm Julie: yikes thanks
	5:04pm Phillippe Bastille: Psycho Killer qu'est-ce que c'est
	5:04pm Handy Haversack: Chris!
	5:05pm Mr Nobody: If we don't include fictional characters then we wouldn't hear the awesomely awful Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff song about Freddy Kruger.
	5:05pm Phillippe Bastille: speaking of serial killers, here's Handy!
	5:05pm listener james from westwood: OMG, that Freddy rap was abysmal.
	5:06pm listener james from westwood: The lead cut off the Chunky A album might've been better than that track.
	5:07pm C.S.: ...just in time for the holidays, Julie.
	5:07pm Mr Nobody: OMG someone else remembers it? Bahaha
	5:08pm Phillippe Bastille: Rhett Miller refers to himself as a serial lady killer in the Old 97's "Barrier Reef": Empty bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty I saw her sitting at the bar, well you know how some girls are Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, "Hi there" My name's Stewart Ransom Miller, I'm a serial lady-killer" She said, "I'm already dead," that's exactly what she said
	5:12pm Mr Nobody: Yes!! Love this.
	5:12pm chris in the redwoods: excellent post-solstice track here, Julie. nice!
	5:14pm Scott67: I think mine will be a Pink Floyd Crazymess Day. After my compulsory lunch with Mum & Dad.
	5:14pm Julie: I had hoped to get it while the sun was going down but i can't time things quite that perfectly
	5:16pm βrian: The sun is almost down here. Just a few more minutes ...
	5:16pm Tome: Hi Julie !<>! hi everyone ,,, ahh !,.!Set The Controls!..! indeed !.,.!
	5:17pm Julie: hiya Tome!
	5:17pm Scott67: Solstice is so yesterday down here in Australia.
	5:18pm C.S.: @Scott67 They've never been big on Currier and Ives Christmas down under.
	5:18pm chris in the redwoods: i've actually never been to the other hemisphere. missing out, i know. hopefully someday.
	5:19pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Julie!
	5:19pm Julie: hi there Doug!
	5:22pm Scott67: C.S., Indeed! Not a lot of snow and sleighs around this Summer.
	5:25pm βrian: poof The sun is down.
	5:25pm C.S.: Are Bucko and Champs played a lot down there around this time, Scott67?
	5:27pm Handy Haversack: There are other hemispheres? How many?! This crazy old world.
	5:28pm βrian: Oh, Annie.
	5:28pm Scott67: C.S., I just hadta Google them, so definitely not played by me mate. :-)
	5:29pm C.S.: "Aussie Jingle Bells" was really the first time I had considered how different Christmas was in other parts of the world. How myopic of me.
	5:30pm C.S.: Here in New England it's mostly cold and dark. Getting real tired of it.
	5:30pm Phillippe Bastille: That guy on the right is a true Renaissance man.
	5:33pm Scott67: C.S., you're not alone mate. Don't blame yourself, when 70 million Americans voted as if the Earth were flat.
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: Don't worry, C.S., the days are getting longer!
	5:35pm dreamyandseedy: OPAL is incomparable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:36pm Handy Haversack: Opal!!! Yay!
	5:36pm C.S.: In theory, New England winters have a charm all their own. Seeing Maple syrup being made or visiting an orchard to get cider donuts. Nights by a warm fire after cross country skiing. Trouble is those activities are only fun when you have people to hang out with. I am so screwed.
	5:37pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL
	5:40pm C.S.: North Conway, NH ran a nice snow train for tourists a few years back. Nothing like seeing (and hearing and smelling) a steam locomotive in cold weather.
	5:41pm Scott67: C.S. Hang in there mate, we get cold & dark winters down south in the State of Victoria. But Friday's Summer forecast for us is sunny & 27c - 80f to you. More often Xmas Day is in the mid to high 30c and I've sat through some lunches in the 40c range.
	5:44pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:36 C.S.: weird, I never thought I'd miss cross country skiing. Nowadays, (Southern) Finnish winters are so mild, so there's very little snow and very little point to it.
	5:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, that's my cousin on geetar.
	5:45pm C.S.: Growing up people used to ice skate all the time right up until the mid 1980s. Now lakes and ponds in my hometown rarely freeze.
	5:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:45 Handy Haversack: what, really?
	5:46pm Scott67: C.S. I would be quite content sitting alone by a log fire with a warming beverage (Scotch).
	5:46pm chris in the redwoods: i still miss x-country skiing as a form of winter transit. there's a Haversack in the Airplane?
	5:47pm Dean: Drummer for Security Project is Jerry Marotta, who drummed for Gabriel for a long time. Might still be with him, for all I know.
	5:48pm Handy Haversack: Photocopy, yes, Jorma Kaukonen. His mom and my dad were cousins and very close. Her parents helped raise my dad and sent him to college for 3/4 of a degree (he was orphaned at 13). I was able to meet her once before she died, and I met Jorma's brother, but I have never met him. My sisters have, though, when Hot Tuna played Atlanta. Their mother was wonderful and always very kind to me my whole life.
	5:49pm Scott67: Winter was lockdown down here. So my winter transport was shuffling around the house in thongs (flip-flops).
	5:49pm Dean: That's something, HH! I listened just a couple nights ago to a recent show streamed from JK's digs. The first HT album, the live one, was recorded around the corner from where I live, about three blocks south.
	5:50pm Julie: I have no Hot Tuna, do I need Hot Tuna?
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: Ah, very cool, Dean! That branch of the family had lived in Finland before immigrating, and my "aunt" married a Finnish American in the foreign service and was posted in Finland for a while, @Cha Cha.
	5:51pm wenzo llc.: RIP Bob Mays, poet, record collector, record store owner & all around legend of the Detroit area
	5:53pm Dean: Yes. You need Hot Tuna. I dove in all at once and picked a box collecting their early stuff. Hot Tuna was Jorma's outlet with amazing bass player Jack Casady when they just wanted to tear into the Blues and jam. They rock like crazy, and the stuff with Papa John Creach on the violin is pretty intense.
	5:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Handy Haversack, thanks, fascinating info!
	5:54pm C.S.: @Scott67 We used to call them thongs in the states right up until those bikinis of the same name started making an appearance.
	5:55pm Dean: The Hot Tuna box: https://www.discogs.com/Hot-Tuna-The-CD-Vinyl-Replica-Collection-Boxset-/release/9665224
	5:57pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Hmmm, I have not gotten any further with my Hot Tuna explorations in 36 years, meaning I found "Yellow Fever" from my local library as an 8-year-old, and actually bought the very same record for pennies 10 years later when they were deleting stock. A few tracks aside, that album is all I have heard from Hot Tuna to this day. Then again, funnily enough I heard them years before I heard even a note from Jefferson Airplane.
	5:58pm Scott67: C.S. we still just call them G-strings. So thongs live on as our beloved footwear. I've worn mine virtually all this crazy year.
	5:58pm Handy Haversack: I think there were timber concerns, @Cha Cha? My dad's more immediate branch was in Odessa and emigrated from there around 1905. Ended up as tobacco farmers in Connecticut, but my dad's dad rebelled and became a geological engineer and tried to make it as a writer while exploring the South Seas [sic and !]. My dad's mother died when he was young, and his father was lost at sea trying to sail from Tahiti to Fiji by himself. Thus, the eventual stepping in by his cousin's family.
	6:00pm C.S.: Oddly enough I haven't had any down time during the pandemic. Grocery store that I work at has never been busier, So many projects at home are just languishing.
	6:00pm Scott67: Julie and gang, I'm just popping over to the Shangri-lounge for a cocktail in the sunshine. Back soon, doing great Julie, hah just heard your bird ♡
	6:01pm Julie: See you later Scott, enjoy!
	6:01pm wenzo llc.: good to know the theme... thinking of my siblings as I listen, both the one literal one who I don't think of enough & all the spiritual ones
	6:02pm Daya: Oh no, not the Seagulls! Here comes my PTSD 🤣
	6:02pm Handy Haversack: I am in a massive fight with both my sisters right now. COVID-related. Not sure whether we're gonna recover from this one.
	6:02pm Julie: do you know which one is the drummer? he is the one who is the brother of the singer.
	6:02pm Scott67: You're making me wanna stay......
	6:03pm Julie: @Handy believe me I get it, all mine voted for the oval office resident.. it is HARD
	6:03pm Julie: well, Scott, you are welcome of course!
	6:04pm Scott67: Handy, my sister's becoming a denialist too. What is that all about!???
	6:04pm chris in the redwoods: ooph, sorry Handy.
	6:05pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie. They are in a tough position, but ... who isn't. Ugh. I just hope my one sister doesn't get sick with the risks they're taking. She has asthma, which is what killed our mother. Thus, my fury.
	6:05pm Scott67: She still hates Trump though. Which is a relief.
	6:06pm Julie: Yeah I have one sister taking WAY too many chances
	6:07pm Handy Haversack: They are at my niece's wedding. Today. At Disney World. In Florida. Which is not where they live.
	6:08pm Julie: I have friends who flew to Florida also! Like what even?!
	6:09pm spodiodi: i try not to think about the risks my family are taking, Handy. i feel your fury and worry. that sounds pretty risky... man.
	6:09pm Daya: Have to head out for a bit, be back in about 90 minutes or so...
	6:09pm chris in the redwoods: oh holy hell. what are these people thinking?
	6:10pm Daya: ...not that anyone might miss my presence... 😆
	6:10pm Julie: I will daya see you later!
	6:10pm chris in the redwoods: misses already, Daya
	6:10pm Julie: the one friend I was safely seeing flew to florida to visit her family. I told her, she can't come over anytime soon.
	6:11pm Handy Haversack: The bright spot is that I called my one sister in like Sept. or Oct. to enlist her in backing me up to make sure my 93-year-old aunt and her wife wouldn't drive to FL for it -- and my sister said, "I just talked to her. They're not coming. They said it would make you too upset." Victory? We'll miss you, Daya!
	6:12pm Julie: i have friends in FL planning to go to disneyland. apparently it's a good time, lots of precautions, reservations for rides (!)
	6:12pm chris in the redwoods: i have a son who travels a lot for work. worry about him, but at least its his job he's traveling for
	6:13pm C.S.: Is Mickey wearing a mask?
	6:13pm Handy Haversack: Julie, I have been told to tell you that Kate is freaking out with (melancholy?) joy.
	6:14pm Julie: the junkies?
	6:14pm Julie: i know this is the obvious choice but it was too good to pass up
	6:15pm Handy Haversack: The Junkies!
	6:15pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I haven’t left my French house in 9 months, so glad to hear people are going to fucking Disneyland
	6:15pm Handy Haversack: (She's harmonizing!)
	6:17pm chris in the redwoods: trinity session kept me company during a breakup back in the day. still feels like a dear friend to this day. really good album.
	6:17pm Julie: Ugh for real, Sylvia
	6:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now now - keep appropriate distancing ! ...there's plenty of Julie to go around !!...
	6:19pm spodiodi: sounds like a victory, Handy
	6:22pm Julie: whoops this is the same song
	6:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As vaccines roll out despite some people's best efforts - I think of John Kerry fresh back from Vietnam asking Congress - who should be the last to die for a mistake...
	6:24pm Julie: don't get me started on who is getting it this week, freakin deniers
	6:27pm Dean: I heard it more as a 10CC moment.
	6:27pm Dean: By the way, the original incarnation of Renaissance, pre-Annie, featured siblings.
	6:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have you tried the Classifieds ??
	6:32pm Julie: don't think i haven't thought about it!
	6:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KNICK KNICKS ! About Jimmy Page ?
	6:35pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: gonna head for some 2am shopping - usually not possible here in the sticks as there's no local 245/7 stores, but they're trying to avoid Xmas shop overcrowding by keeping them open at all hours until Xmas eve. Will bring this show with me on my headphones&"smartphone" and try to be back soon.
	6:35pm Julie: hurry back Cha Cha and be safe!
	6:36pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Thanks, I will, but a 245/7 store, now that's something.
	6:37pm Sylvia (France-NYC): in France we are under a curfew, 8pm-6am
	6:39pm Julie: I mean I guess that's to keep folks out of bars, when we had it here it was 10 but you can pack a bar at 6pm just as easy (shrug)
	6:39pm Handy Haversack: Fanny!
	6:39pm Sylvia (France-NYC): bars are closed
	6:40pm Handy Haversack: Pas de Piano-Vache?
	6:40pm Handy Haversack: (Nous, on l'adore!)
	6:41pm Julie: Sylvia are you in the city or country?
	6:41pm HyperDose: We're pulling an all-nighter here! Oh yeah!
	6:42pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I’m in a smallish city (80 000 inhabitants)
	6:44pm Handy Haversack: Oh, sorry, Sylvia, for some reason I thought you were in Paris, which would make the Piano-Vache comment make more sense.
	6:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: J&MC sounding rather BritPop here ! Loves them. ...These are the longest Darkest Nights in fact of course...
	6:45pm Handy Haversack: Dang, the Jesus and Mary Chain kicked such serious butt.
	6:46pm spodiodi: \m/
	6:47pm chris in the redwoods: rawk!
	6:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh wow, the second half is going to be rockin'!
	6:48pm Nick: Overslept, is it still going ! time to tune in!
	6:48pm Julie: ohhh EDDIE
	6:48pm Julie: hiya Nick hi Ken!
	6:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1st VH was a game changer. & then?
	6:48pm Handy Haversack: Calling the dedication line to send this one out to Scott Williams ...
	6:48pm Sylvia (France-NYC): no Handy, Paris is way too expensive, more than Manhattan even
	6:48pm HyperDose: Airheads!
	6:49pm Miles of Middle Texas: Thanks for another great show ! Except for this Van Halen, just kidding. It is to rock.
	6:49pm Nick: hmn. i should also close the window. brb.
	6:49pm Handy Haversack: Je le sais, Sylvia. Je le sais.
	6:49pm Julie: hah you're welcome Miles!
	6:50pm Dean: I seem to recall that the first VH was a WB promo, an EP that my buddy acquired before the release of the eponymous first LP. I don't see it on Discogs, though. Am I making this up?
	6:51pm Dean: Nope, there it is: https://www.discogs.com/Van-Halen-Looney-Tunes-Promo/release/3066871
	6:54pm C.S.: Take care, Julie. Great show as usual. See you next time. Wait..what? There's three more hours to go? Ya!
	6:54pm Julie: hehe yep that's right!
	6:55pm C.S.: They cloned Cherie Currie? Who knew?
	6:55pm Aitch: Phew, sheltering from Xmas songs, about to slap somebody. Thanks Julie, hi all.
	6:56pm coelacanth∅: greetings Julie and soulseekers
	6:56pm Handy Haversack: Settle in, C.S.! I actually have to get on a [MOTHERPUSBUCKET] call in a minute. But you better believe I'll be back! Also, Kate's going to tag in, I think. Love it, Julie. SO glad to be here.
	6:56pm Nick: I am going to try opening this up in the arcade cabinet too, hopefully the two systems sync well.
	6:57pm Julie: hiya aitch! hiya Coela!
	6:57pm spodiodi: greetings Aitch and coelacanth∅
	7:00pm coelacanth∅: 'afternoon spodiø
	7:00pm Handy Haversack: (Did you all know that these so-called volunteers don't even get paid? Back soon.)
	7:00pm C.S.: Steve Lukather from Toto
	7:01pm chris in the redwoods: taking a break to give the puppers some exercise; back in a bit...
	7:02pm spodiodi: good luck, Handy
	7:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Big name amongst gittarheads SL.
	7:02pm coelacanth∅: mike love
	7:03pm C.S.: 1984 was the year released and the name of the album and the title of a song on the album.
	7:03pm Lisa Hammer: Loving this show so much
	7:04pm Dean: Repeat comment from a couple weeks ago: For a while two Cowsills, siblings, were in the Dwight Twilley Band.
	7:04pm Lisa Hammer: Hi! Will stay listening!!!
	7:06pm coelacanth∅: Dave Davies was (probably still is) a brilliant guitarist. Page was good too! but you really got me was/is just childrens music. anybody getting credit for that riff is like getting credit for the key of g.
	7:06pm Julie: I mean it really was the distortion that made it.
	7:07pm Aitch: Familiar names all around, hey Explorers.
	7:07pm coelacanth∅: right it was Dave's sound - and the energy behind it
	7:12pm Julie: cha cha is out shopping missing the finnish band
	7:16pm C.S.: Fugu...named after the deadly puffer fish delicacy?
	7:17pm Julie: that sounds likely!
	7:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The paradox is the reductive simplicity of the riff is what makes it a breakthrough : Pop & Rawk are so often about Sounds - often electronic ones. Like distortion is counterintuitively a simplification of the soundwave - chopping off bits of it to make like a pure electronic impulse - closer to a synthesizer. As soon as guitars were electric it was inevitable amps would be overdriven - there's Howlin' Wolf tracks in 1954 that have it. Right after The Kinks of course TheWho work with Jim Marshall to make the truly large Amos & it's all fond but the screaming. But there were also Surf players like DickDale pushing it with Fender Amos in Cali... Every time I listen to Fools Paradise it's like history gets rewritten !...
	7:19pm Levi: This is one of the funnest radio experiences in a while :D
	7:22pm K8: Hello Julie and Beautiful People! I've been listening for a couple of hours...so excited! I want to be in a dance club...wait, is my living room a dance club?
	7:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: typo bomb
	7:22pm Phillippe Bastille: hey, what did i miss?
	7:23pm Julie: hiya k8, hi Levi! thanks!
	7:24pm Nick: Phil, that depends on how long you were gone.
	7:24pm Julie: Phillippe I don't remember...siblings maybe?
	7:24pm K8: Hey hey Phillippe! From me and Handy..who is in a zoom meeting, and feeling...a little sad about that... @ Julie...this is so exciting! 7 hours!!! Yeeeaaaahhhh!
	7:25pm Julie: it is insanity but at least i finished my typing!
	7:26pm Nick: Hmn come to think of Bastilles I forgot the name of that famous French poet who wrote something about how " man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains." i should google that once i finish listening to music.
	7:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Haha ... K8, meet Kate!
	7:27pm Nick: w8 two kates? x.x that could get confusing.
	7:27pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey K8!
	7:27pm K8: Kate Bush!!! Oh, Ken, I know this Kate...she is amazing.
	7:28pm Julie: this album just grows on me more and more
	7:28pm Nick: She sure has great eyebrows on that album cover.
	7:29pm Nick: I think i need more sleep x.x
	7:29pm K8: She is so wonderfully weird on this album. I love it.
	7:30pm Julie: where you at these days, Nick?
	7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Man is born free, yet he is everywhere in chains. Rousseau's statement still stands, even in societies which are far freer than Old Regime France. This is because, when one takes away authoritarian '...
	7:30pm Dean: Not a poet, per se, Nick. Was Rousseau.
	7:31pm Julie: BORN FREEEEEEEEEEEE AS FREE AS THE WIND BLOWS...oh Elsa
	7:31pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Took me until 7:30 and PULL OUT THE PIN to raise my head out of work and say...hmmm Neighbor's noise is different tonight.
	7:31pm Julie: hiya Rich!
	7:31pm Julie: I love how wonderfully goth the cover of this gal's EP is
	7:31pm Nick: Not a poet? okay! Rouseeau! that was it! , Julie, still at that house I bought a few months ago. It's near the beach but the beach is kind of windy lately.
	7:32pm Julie: which country though? and ahhh beach
	7:32pm Nick: Julie, same country as you, just further down the 95
	7:33pm Dean: Now that we're getting political, you all should read Elizabeth Anderson's Tanner Lectures from 2015: https://tannerlectures.utah.edu/Anderson%20manuscript.pdf Best sentence: "Most workers in the United States are governed by communist dictatorships in their work lives."
	7:34pm Dean: Rousseau was, however, a composer. I have a recording of an opera he wrote.
	7:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Everything we feared from ColdWar Commies we have manifested.
	7:34pm Nick: Oh, a composer! Maybe we can talk Julie into adding him sometime.
	7:35pm Dean: Well, a fledgling composer. Mozart he weren't.
	7:36pm Nick: Rabbit, well, communism definitely explored many ways of exploiting people. But just because people are exploited doesn't mean it is due to communism. But if we get too into politics it might ruin the mood for people who just want to drift around and be carried by the music ^_^ can always message me when the music is off too.
	7:36pm Julie: cold war commies is a great name for a band
	7:36pm Daya: I’m back...
	7:36pm Dean: Hot War Commies is a better name!
	7:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is dancey rawkin catchy & moody all @ once.
	7:36pm Julie: welcome back Daya!
	7:36pm Nick: Julie, remember that Waynes World scene where their fundraising party for rtheir band concert, was a commie party
	7:39pm K8: I just did a search of "cold war commies" and "hot war commies," and they don't exist as bands...soooo..seems like someone out there should start a band...
	7:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The bandname Nat King Kong has been floated : seemed like a good idea till I contemplated graphix...
	7:40pm Nick: Hmn. Starting a band could be fun. Do any of us play instruments well.
	7:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well enuff for that bandname...
	7:41pm K8: I'm a fan of just getting together and making noise...
	7:41pm Daya: I always liked “Legs Akimbo” for a band name ☺️
	7:42pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I was laughed at when I asked a music teacher about Bach's "Tocatta and Fugu in D minor". Gimme a break, I was 20.
	7:42pm K8: Yow! Legs akimbo! That seems like yoga...
	7:42pm coelacanth∅: get with the century...you don't have to be able to play an instrument to have a band. you don't even need ANY talent! that's what software and marketing are for!
	7:42pm Nick: Arms Akimbo was a cartoon villain in the warner brothers cartoon Freakazoid.
	7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LegsAkimbo is the Singer's name...
	7:43pm Nick: coelacanth oe, I understand the concept, but I studied violin, and took voice lessons from an opera singer turned conservatory director. So I'd still rather do it well. ^_^
	7:43pm Daya: I prefer Deep Purple with Tommy Bolin, only two albums tho’
	7:44pm Dean: Interesting, Daya. I was in a band named Akimbo well before the band of that name that had some success. We played a joint in Buena Park (think Knott's Berry Farm, not far from Disneyland) where Metallica played their first "paid" show (years after we played, naturally). It was one of the very few good bands I was in. Good songwriters, good musicians except me. Pretty solid show, as I recall.
	7:44pm K8: Exactly, coela...make some music or noise or whatever...wait, wait @ Rev Rabbit...that's the singer's name? Wow. wow.
	7:45pm coelacanth∅: RR @718 and before Dick Dale was Elmore; and before him was Christian. (although Christian's distortion may have been unavoidable)
	7:45pm Daya: We came up with “legs akimbo” for our name back in 1979, but ended up with an 80s name, that started with “The” like every other band in the 80s.
	7:46pm coelacanth∅: Nick, i'd rather you did too
	7:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elmo !
	7:47pm Nick: coelacanth0 that'd require effort and practice and some amount of cohesion with a band though.
	7:47pm Nick: and I might need a haircut. ... or two.
	7:47pm Julie: oh this guy was in 10CC?
	7:47pm Daya: Of course “Hornets Attack Victor Mature” was a cool band name too ;)
	7:48pm K8: Practice is good...and haircuts...but also just getting together to make noise, that's cool too. I miss a lot of stuff...
	7:48pm Handy Haversack: "Hornets Attack Victor Mature" was a GREAT band name!
	7:49pm K8: Handy is cheating on his Zoom meeting...
	7:50pm Nick: K8, well, making noise could be fun. Writing songs would be effort too. If you want to start a band by combining various listeners it might be fun to try.
	7:50pm Dean: Graham Gouldman? Nope. Never in 10CC. I grew jaded in terms of band names with the advent of X. Still can't fathom why they picked that. I always liked Fruit Eating Bears.
	7:50pm Julie: which 10CC album do I need? I LOVE this but I don't think the band sounds this way
	7:50pm Julie: that's not what google says!
	7:51pm K8: There was a musing of making a skeleton crew fandom track...
	7:51pm Phillippe Bastille: I do believe Graham Gouldman was in 10CC. Also wrote For Your Love years and years ago
	7:51pm Julie: the only constant member, it seems
	7:51pm Nick: meh. speaking of albums I still need to put some effort into hunting for a record player.
	7:52pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Going through the set list and sad to have missed If By Yes. A shame they never really did anything else, at least that I'm aware of.
	7:52pm K8: You want in on that, Nick? Skelton crew fandom/tracksom track?
	7:52pm Dean: Depends on what you mean by "this" and "way." (I'm joking. OF COURSE GRAHAM GOULDMAN WAS IN 10cc!!!) I love Original Soundtrack. "Minestrone," c'mon?
	7:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fruit eats bears shoots & leaves. No hornets sighted.
	7:52pm Julie: Rich they had their own projects
	7:52pm Nick: K8 well, I could give it a try. I'm a tad out of practice at singing and such. But trying new hobbies is usually fun.
	7:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Somebody at FMU had him on for an interview a couple years back. Interesting guy, keeps cranking out the music.
	7:53pm coelacanth∅: K8 i agree with that (which you'd know if you heard the awful noise I make!... i don't recommend that) but what i'm referring to is the mainstream crap that's so often created from marketing/image ideas, algorithm-generated ideas, mass-appeal-tested production ideas... no . . . i'd rather hear unadulterated music by people that can't play for shit, than that
	7:54pm Phillippe Bastille: I preferred Sheet Music out of the 10ccs. Wall Street Shuffle, baby!
	7:55pm K8: well...i have been procrastinating an invitation to the WFMU listening community about making some aural thank yous for our skeletons...
	7:56pm Phillippe Bastille: K8, I'll do one if I don't have to sing it!
	7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My lead gittar noise was Sampled & grafted onto this fellow's track : jamusic6.bandcamp.com... ...careful what you wish for...
	7:57pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel I take it you aren't a Max Martin fan?
	7:57pm Nick: Phil, I can probably sing it. What kind of vocal range will it be in though.
	7:59pm Daya: Can I be in? I play a mean VibraSlap!
	7:59pm K8: @Phillippe Seems like we should all make whatever noises we want to give...I can make you sing at another time.
	8:00pm Cronbat: Great set Julie! Thanks for supersizing the show!
	8:00pm Phillippe Bastille: Oh K8, you'll never make me sing...
	8:00pm Julie: thanks cronbat!!
	8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh I think there's an album's worth of conflict & enthusiasm here...
	8:01pm K8: @Daya VIRBRASLAP? Yowzers! This shit is gonna get crazy...and I love it...and @ Phillippe...I mean, come on, everyone sings...
	8:01pm Nick: at least enough for a dust jacket.
	8:01pm K8: This Still Corners track is gorgeous...
	8:01pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Back home and gotta say, I really can't think of a better way to drown out the horrible xmas soundtracks the supermarkets provide, especially Wilma was a nice surprise. Btw, "Ihmelapsi" means a child prodigy (the German equivalent "Wunderkind" is even more direct translation).
	8:02pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe i'm afraid to listen to a sample of Martin Max. never heard of him, but i'm taking your question as a warning!
	8:02pm Phillippe Bastille: Has anyone watch the television series reboot of High Fidelity? There is WFMU stuff in almost every episode -- tee shirts, bumper stickers...
	8:02pm Julie: thanks for turning me onto Wilma they are so good!
	8:02pm coelacanth∅: ...(Max Martin)
	8:03pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @8:02 Julie: no worries, I'm very glad you like them.
	8:03pm Nick: Photo C C, that reminds me, of some german movie i watched, Vitus, about a wunderkind who gets a head injury and then a chance to pretend to be average and normal again to be happy.
	8:03pm Julie: oooh that sounds good
	8:04pm spodiodi: didn't know one existed, PB. very cool
	8:04pm Nick: Phil, there's bumper stickers? I could put one on my little m35 jeep?
	8:04pm Julie: yeah there's been some chatter about that around the station haven't seen it though. Zoe Kravitz right?
	8:05pm Julie: I don't want to hear anyone tell me there's no good new music! this is pretty fab
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: there's limitless good new music!
	8:06pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel he runs a songwriting factory in Sweden or some place like that. They have a bunch of songwriters that sit around and crank out a hit song every 4 hours or so, Their approach is to put the hook in the first 10 seconds or so, or else they'll lose the listener. "Martin has written or co-written 23 Billboard Hot 100 number-one songs, most of which he has also produced or co-produced, including Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" (2008), Maroon 5's "One More Night" (2012), Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space" (2014), and The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (2019). Martin is the songwriter with the third-most number-one singles on the chart, behind only Paul McCartney (32) and John Lennon (26). In addition, he has the second-most Hot 100 number-one singles as a producer, 21, behind George Martin, who had achieved 23 by the time of his death
	8:06pm Mr Nobody: Someone say Jeep? O.o
	8:06pm Mr Nobody: Also lol at "little" M35
	8:07pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @8:03 Nick: you recommend Vitus? Never heard of that one, I googled - no, DDG'd that one. Then again, I have very little knowledge regarding Swiss movies.
	8:07pm Nick: Mr Nobody, it's kind of a cross between a jeep and a truck, but yeah.
	8:07pm Julie: damn I thought Taylor wrote Shake it Off, that's a good song
	8:07pm Phillippe Bastille: Yes, Zoe takes the John Cusack role.
	8:07pm coelacanth∅: < looking at that cover ...i guess the doors didn't have exclusivity
	8:08pm Mr Nobody: Oh I know about Deuces. Very cool.
	8:08pm K8: Zoe takes the Cusack role!!!
	8:08pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: We've been quiet on the comments board tonight, but listening attentively since 3pm, Julie. Great show, as ever!
	8:08pm Nick: Photo CC, well, as a former bright kid who got stuffed into tag programs and forcibly skipped grades and what not, I found it kind of entertaining. The overall production value seemed low. But the plot was delivered well.
	8:09pm Julie: heya S&M&S good to see ya
	8:10pm Phillippe Bastille: @Julie part of his arrangement, I believe, is that the artist (who buys a crapload of money to buy the song) can make some changes to be able to say they co-wrote it. Change a word, make a third.
	8:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Phillippe. i've never heard those 3 songs either... and i hope i never do!
	8:10pm Phillippe Bastille: *pays not buys
	8:10pm K8: @Sylvia...sounds like lock-down in France is...well, the way lock-down is. Hang in there...there is a light at the end of this tunnel....
	8:11pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel you have him to thank for The Backstreet Boys as well
	8:11pm Julie: Sylvia is doing it right. I've had two friends lose family members this month, and two more who have ones with diagnoses.
	8:12pm coelacanth∅: ooh i love the backstreet boys!
	8:12pm Scott67: Hey kids I'm back! Looks like I missed some good stuff.
	8:12pm coelacanth∅: - oh, wait - i meant they make me cringe.
	8:13pm Julie: writing hooks is definitely a skill, but seeing like 10 names on a song mystifies me
	8:13pm K8: Oh Julie...I'm so sorry. This shit is so crazy. Wow...Julie, you're playing PRINCE!!!
	8:13pm Nick: Coel, i liked Weird Al's covers of their oreo song.
	8:13pm Julie: hiya Scott! WB. It's not the first time I've played Prince :D
	8:14pm K8: By which...I mean..."Julie, you're playing PRINCE..." which means I'm crying...because...
	8:14pm Nick: Julie, i dunno, to me its kind of like when politicians co-sponsor a bill, maybe most of the co-authors of a ten author song are just there for moral support.
	8:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Sylvia's hit the hay, K8 (Michael, here) but yes, I think they're handling it much better. I'm also sure Sylvia would/will disagree! She thinks even France could be doing this much better.
	8:15pm Julie: I wish it were longer but I really wanted to hear his Case of You
	8:15pm Nick: I'm still not used to hearing him sing on his own
	8:16pm Julie: wow I'd never know this was Paul if it wasn't Paul
	8:16pm coelacanth∅: 82 years old. guy's fucking amazing.
	8:16pm K8: Moral Support! Moral Creative Support! @Michael...I definitely know over here that we think the gov could've done better for us during all of this..I'm not sure what to do with all that feeling...
	8:17pm Scott67: He's channelling some Johnny Cash there.
	8:17pm K8: I'll second that PC @ 82 is freaking amazing!!!
	8:18pm C.S.: Still can't forgive Paul McCartney for that "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" song that I have to endure at work just about everyday.
	8:19pm coelacanth∅: Scott i was thinking the same thing.
	8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting observation Scott67! It is quite poignant to still have him - & not John or George for so long...
	8:20pm Phillippe Bastille: Run Devil Run was a fun McCartney cover album
	8:20pm coelacanth∅: - except Cash only made it to ...79? ...and wasn't still composing by then, as far as i know
	8:20pm K8: Yeah, C.S., I can see that. The cash cow of holiday music is a weird world...I both hate it and then, weirdly, suprisingly, sometimes, love it again? Or also hate it...ugh, I don't know...
	8:22pm Scott67: C.S., you're not having a good one are ya mate!? Seasons change, & mercifully Governments. Sending you some sunshine and solidarity.
	8:22pm coelacanth∅: ...though i have to say - %-wise, i like more Johnny Cash than i do solo McCartney
	8:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Working retail helped put me over the top for all holiday music & Xmas itself forever. I'm done.
	8:22pm C.S.: It makes me wonder what John Lennon would have done with his music had he lived. What would he think of the world today?
	8:22pm Scott67: Coelacanth, great minds mate.
	8:23pm C.S.: I so miss those 3 AM broadcasts, Julie. Such fun.
	8:23pm Daya: Personally, I would have liked to see how Jimi would have evolved, musically :)
	8:23pm Dean: Songwriting? Check out Schubert, Beethoven, Debussy, Chaminade... There's a huge supply of gorgeous stuff. I remember seeing the first McCartney at KMart during visits time after time. Finally I bought it there, '70 or '71. A superb album.
	8:24pm Phillippe Bastille: Oooh, my favorite Genesis record!
	8:24pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I needed a little Mellotron fix
	8:25pm Daya: “Trick” is a very good disc!
	8:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If only Macca had some collaborator to balance his productivity with gravitas - if only there were ever such a person...
	8:25pm Rich in Bay Ridge: PB I might agree with you on this record
	8:25pm Handy Haversack: Well. That's over.
	8:25pm Julie: WB Handy!
	8:25pm coelacanth∅: judging by double fantasy, Lennon wouldn't be creating anything i'd want to listen to - not for a long time now. but maybe he would've ditched Yoko and started making good, radical folk music or something.
	8:26pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: I so wish I had A Trick of the Tail on vinyl, I quite like this album... to think I used to avoid post-Gabriel Genesis like plague.
	8:27pm Nick: Did their son make music too.
	8:27pm Dean: '76 Starlight Amphitheater, Genesis post-Gabriel, Bruford drumming, the sole Genesis show I've seen live. Sorry, but post-Gabriel Genesis never approached the promise of the earlier band, due not least to Collins' amazing contributions.
	8:27pm coelacanth∅: Daya @823 probably the greatest loss of potential in my opinion with that tragedy
	8:27pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Dean that must have been a banger of a show with Billy B and Philly C going at it.
	8:28pm chris in the redwoods: back from a nice long walk with the puppers and the mrs. hello again.
	8:28pm coelacanth∅: RR @825 that's what i want for Neil Young. so much potential but he needs a collaborator - and a moderator
	8:28pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie. I didn't even yell at anybody. Pretty good.
	8:28pm Scott67: I was a Department Store Santa for a month, in our Summer. The store had virtually no AC, and the line of kids was endless. I even did a 6 hour outdoor sit on Santa's knee, in the sun on a 38c day.
	8:29pm Julie: heya Chris!
	8:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John did pretty well for only making it to 40 & 1980. No telling @ all how much more we would've had. I think he would've aged fast though - he was already showing it. Miss Zappa for what he had to say about things too. Talk about one-offs...
	8:31pm coelacanth∅: Scott i watched an interview with a santa who had a child die on his lap. fucking balling my eyes out
	8:31pm Julie: oh god
	8:31pm chris in the redwoods: jeez, coel. can't imagine recovering from that one.
	8:32pm Phillippe Bastille: damn, that would be hard to watch
	8:32pm Daya: Coel: yep, agree. He had sessions set up with free-thinking jazz musicians, would have loved to see where he went in that environment
	8:32pm coelacanth∅: (in my defense the santa was crying when he told the story)
	8:32pm Julie: how could you not?
	8:33pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, coela, that's intense.
	8:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Losing Hendrix was like losing Coltrane for Jazz. How he would've bridged Genres - in every direction you look there was potential.
	8:33pm Phillippe Bastille: was it a hospital visit type thing or did the kid come to the mall and expire?
	8:33pm coelacanth∅: Daya and he was successfully breaking from the hole they'd dug for him (no pun intended... musically)
	8:34pm Dean: Rich, It was a terrific show! They did "Supper's Ready" and more. I have a bootleg from the show. But while I think Lamb was a pinnacle, and while I love their early records, even though Gabriel's presence could be difficult, I most enjoy that early stuff. Genesis Live is a damn fine album.
	8:34pm Scott67: coelacanth, I had a woman with terminal cancer come in from palliative care with her family for a Santa photo. I was crying when the next child approached me. My elf got in my face and told me to suck it up,. It was horrible.
	8:35pm chris in the redwoods: never trust an elf. never.
	8:35pm Phillippe Bastille: "My elf got in my face and told me to suck it up" gonna go on next year's Christmas card
	8:35pm coelacanth∅: both Hendrix and Trane had already catalyzed so much change in their respective short lives
	8:36pm Julie: will ferrell is the only good elf
	8:36pm coelacanth∅: Phillipe i think the boy had cancer. it was in public, probably the mall
	8:36pm Handy Haversack: Imagine in Hendrix and Nirvana had been able to collaborate.
	8:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Oh my. Tragic.
	8:37pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Awesome @Dean - I watched the video of the 76 show in Paris a thousand times - I recorded it off Night Flight on USA and wore out the tape. I agree that Lamb was probably their pinnacle, but I like the 2 albums they did as a quartet, and Duke is eminently listenable
	8:37pm Scott67: She was young and naive in the emotions of loss I guess. But I'd not long lost several friends to cancer. So suck it up was beyond me.
	8:37pm K8: I'm gonna sign off, although I am still listening, and may tell Handy to type things in my name...JULIE, what a gift this extended time is with you...THANK YOU!
	8:38pm spodiodi: scott, coel: sad stuff. and good for you for doing it, scott
	8:38pm Julie: thanks for listening K8!
	8:38pm passiflora: :)
	8:38pm coelacanth∅: yeah maybe going off-stage for a minute to suck it up would've been more reasonable.
	8:38pm Phillippe Bastille: I can imagine, Scott
	8:38pm Scott67: Cheers spodiodi.
	8:39pm Julie: hi passiflora!
	8:40pm coelacanth∅: tchau K8
	8:40pm Scott67: Merci' Phillippe.
	8:40pm Handy Haversack: Oh, hell yeah, Johanna Warren! One of our favorite albums of the year! (And NOT just because of the title ... though it doesn't hurt.)
	8:40pm passiflora: hi!
	8:41pm Phillippe Bastille: Speaking of elves, I gotta sign off and and wrap a few gifts I'm delivering tomorrow. Thanks for the bonus tracks, Julie! Good night everyone!

	8:41pm spodiodi: aloha, PB, K8
	8:41pm Scott67: Bon soire Phillippe.
	8:42pm Handy Haversack: L8r, Phillippe! I have a package with your address on it, just waiting for one of us to be brave enough to go to the (worst) post office (in New York).
	8:42pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Plenty of good music has been released this year (shame on me not spending enough £$€ on Bandcamp) abd yet every time I see an album or a track is from 2020 I feel surprised any music got released this year.
	8:42pm chris in the redwoods: digging this Johanna Warren.
	8:43pm Nick: I'd love to go to a post office in new york
	8:43pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Handy! Later spodi, scott, coel!
	8:43pm coelacanth∅: tchau Phillippe greetings spodi
	8:43pm Julie: Handy you gotta get a scale and click and ship. they'll pick up your priority stuff!
	8:44pm Nick: But then you can't go and be overly cheerful amid all the people annoyed at waiting in line at the post office...
	8:44pm Handy Haversack: In NYC? I thought the most they offered was in-vestibule smashing service!
	8:45pm Julie: oh yeah Handy I do it all the time
	8:45pm Nick: I keep seeing people use the word vestibule today.
	8:47pm Julie: is Dean still here? You digging that Donovan set?
	8:47pm Scott67: Nick, love that word. They're very useful at the moment too.

	3:02pm Julie: hiya Matt!
	3:02pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hi spodiodi!
	3:03pm Phillippe Bastille: Juuuullllliiiieeeee!
	3:03pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey Sylvia, spoodiodi, James!
	3:03pm Julie: hi Phillippe!
	3:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Here we go!
	3:04pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hey Phillippe, Ken
	3:04pm listener james from westwood: Paul!
	3:05pm spodiodi: Phillipe!
	3:09pm Phillippe Bastille: I've been thinking about updating my look. Those Paul Williams glasses may be just the ticket!
	3:12pm Julie: it's not that the glasses are big, it's that he is small
	3:14pm Phillippe Bastille: My wife pointed out that my last pair of glasses were quite popular on most serial killers portrayed on tv.
	3:16pm Julie: jeffrey dahmer glasses?
	3:19pm C.S.: So 13 hours of radio this week. How do you do it, Julie?
	3:20pm Julie: I'll let you know when I'm done! hahaha
	3:21pm Phillippe Bastille: Fictionalized serial killers usually sport the old Ray Ban look, kind of like Edward Kemper
	3:23pm Julie: speaking of serial killers, anyone watch Des? I never even knew about that guy
	3:24pm Phillippe Bastille: I have not seen that as of yet. What's it on?
	3:25pm Julie: AMC maybe?? It's got David Tennant in it, only 3 episodes.
	3:27pm Julie: guy in england who killed a bunch of young men
	3:28pm Daya: Haven’t seen Des yet, but might :)
	3:28pm Phillippe Bastille: Well if it has David Tennant in it it has to be good
	3:28pm Julie: oooh i really like this C&J song
	3:28pm Julie: I was trying to figure out if that was his real accent
	3:33pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Like Brenda Dickson said: WELL, HELLO.
	3:33pm Julie: heya Cha Cha! You got your wish, 7 hours!
	3:35pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: It took a while for it to sink in. 7 hours, whoa! Thank you, Julie!
	3:36pm HyperDose: I can tell this is going to be quite the cathartic seven hours!
	3:39pm C.S.: The Hollies
	3:39pm Daya: Hollies?
	3:43pm C.S.: There's that Saturn and Jupiter conjunction thing in the sky. Of course there were clouds yesterday.
	3:48pm Julie: I didn't even try to look honestly
	3:48pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Every time something like that happens, yours truly is too dumb and has no idea what to look for, where and when. I mean I have never even witnessed a solar eclipse!
	3:49pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Lunar eclipses are nicer - you need no equipment and need not fear for your eyes.
	3:50pm C.S.: Ya, in the end it's just going to be two small dots in the sky.
	3:52pm Julie: yep. I saw photos!
	3:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Shortsightedness and small dots on the sky are not a winning combination. Poor me and my scratched specs.
	3:55pm Miles of Middle Texas: Oh hi. I hear that thing about air. Listening
	3:57pm Scott67: G'day Julie & Soulsters. A Bright Morning of the Summer here.
	3:57pm Julie: hi Scott!
	3:57pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Thanks for the tip Julie, I'll try and find Des from somewhere, David Tennant really does look like him in the promo picture, could be good.
	3:58pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Winter greetings to Julie and all the northerners, happy summer to Scott and all those down under!
	3:59pm Scott67: Cheers Granny.
	3:59pm Julie: hiya Granny!
	4:00pm Mx. Granny (e/em): wait what, 7 hours?!?!?! wahooo!!!!
	4:00pm Julie: haha yes
	4:01pm Phillippe Bastille: hey granny!
	4:03pm Scott67: I'm smiling about it Too! A show that will stay with me for half my day a great treat. Stay hydrated Julie ;-)
	4:03pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I’m liking these songs
	4:04pm Julie: yay Sylvia!
	4:06pm Phillippe Bastille: pre-clicky-starred!
	4:08pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Julie and folks. i missed an hour, but there are still six to go. woot! :)
	4:08pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Phillippe Bastille! great to see ya!
	4:09pm chris in the redwoods: and just in time for White Hills! i truly am a lucky duck.
	4:09pm Julie: hi Chris!
	4:11pm chris in the redwoods: got to see White Hills perform live, in SF, a few years back when they were on tour with Ufomammot. fab show.
	4:16pm Julie: ahhh remember going to shows? that was fun
	4:19pm Daya: Last show I was at was LJG and AM! on march 11th :/
	4:19pm chris in the redwoods: oh yes. i've been watching a few travel shows as well. pre-pandemic life was pretty cool.
	4:21pm Julie: man that would just depress me.
	4:23pm chris in the redwoods: i totally understand that sentiment, Julie. for me its an escape to a time that didn't depress me.
	4:32pm chris in the redwoods: amen
	4:32pm Mx. Granny (e/em): hanging in here, Julie! WFMU helps so much! What would i do without this refuge? xoxox
	4:35pm Julie: same! I remember a Xmas I was home alone listening to the station, a VERY long time ago. Definitely helped.
	4:36pm Sylvia (France-NYC): volume went up!
	4:37pm Julie: is it too loud? I saw how low it was
	4:37pm WR: Volume good 👍 👌 🙌
	4:39pm chris in the redwoods: WHAT? :P
	4:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Btw, my Dark Night of the Soul pre-show Vinyl Warm-up has indeed become a regular thing for me - maybe it was in anticipation of a 7 hour show (well it wasn't as I did not know about it until now) but this time I spread it over the course of two nights: so on Monday, Moody Blues was on the menu with Seventh Sojourn & To Our Children's Children's Children, whereas today was a Donovan Tuesday with Sunshine Superman and Barabajagal. I'll have to do this again on Xmas Eve, though with no Xmas music (I have very few Xmas vinyls, basically all of 'em have been inherited from my mam).
	4:40pm Sylvia (France-NYC): ha, that song!
	4:40pm KWilde: Hi Julie! Gotta run - I'll check back in a couple of hours
	4:41pm Julie: Hiya KWilde! Probably not playing xmas music on Xmas eve, but probably some Xmas night.
	4:41pm Julie: something about this song, Sylvia?
	4:42pm Sylvia (France-NYC): shoutout to single people and the ones in LDR 😑
	4:42pm Julie: aw man I knew you liked this band but that was not intentional
	4:43pm KWilde: I'm sure whatever you play will be good
	4:43pm Sylvia (France-NYC): song’s fine, Julie!
	4:44pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I could have done a singalong to it, but too shy (for someone who sings in a band, that’s odd, I know)
	4:45pm Daya: LDR?
	4:45pm Julie: long distance relationship
	4:46pm Daya: Ahhh! Not ideal, but I would even take one of those at this point :/
	4:48pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I’d advise picking same continent then
	4:50pm Daya: I really don’t get a LDR, especially with folks who never even met IRL, but I see it so often. 🤷🏼‍♀️
	4:52pm Julie: I like the idea of a short distance. Someone who is not always underfoot.
	4:52pm Phillippe Bastille: The level of trust required to maintain an LDR is epic. (Source: a person who once tried to maintain an LDR with an untrustworthy and untrusting partner)
	4:53pm Daya: Yes, that would be ideal.
	4:53pm Julie: been there, phillippe!
	4:54pm Daya: Well, trust can be a thing with a non-LDR too, especially in a polycule
	4:54pm Mr Nobody: Hey All!
	4:54pm Julie: heya Mr Nobody!
	4:55pm listener james from westwood: Where the hell was I when this Fibonaccis track came out?!
	4:55pm Scott67: Sylvia, a shout back! Just me & my dog down here. WFMU is my preferred window to the world right now. I have watched two women in my life board airplanes, one back to California. The other back to France.
	4:55pm chris in the redwoods: agreed, Daya! there's no trust like trust in an open or poly relationship
	4:55pm Daya: Agreed!
	4:56pm listener james from westwood: Release this 25 years later and it'd be in the dark cabaret genre for sure.
	4:56pm HyperDose: WFMU should host a lonely hearts valentines day ice cream social!
	4:56pm Julie: I wonder if there are enough songs about serial killers to fill an hour.
	4:57pm chris in the redwoods: there are a few greats on Cave's Murder Ballads
	4:57pm listener james from westwood: There's that Dahmer-themed Oompa-Loompa song. Also "My Name Is Norman Bates" if we're including fictional ones.
	4:58pm Julie: I had no idea who Ed Gein was when I picked that song
	4:58pm Mr Nobody: Sounds like you have homework now Julie. lol
	4:58pm Julie: haha for sure
	5:00pm listener james from westwood: Oh, wow, Gein's story . . . to reiterate, wow.
	5:00pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Scott67 sorry to hear about your experiences You know, I’ve had my share of trust and betrayals. It can happen right under your own roof where you felt the safest. LDR are hard, for many reasons, I wouldn’t say trust is the main one. Trust is a main requirement in any relationship.
	5:00pm Mr Nobody: I would think that fictional serial killers should count.
	5:00pm Julie: yeah there might be enough about real ones
	5:01pm Handy Haversack: Julie! Dark Ones! Sorry we're late. Dentist in Manhattan. Good thing there's still five hours to go!
	5:01pm Julie: hiya Handy!
	5:02pm Fashion Bird John: love the music in the set so far! :)
	5:02pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Handy!
	5:02pm Julie: thanks John! this set is wrapping up but a new one is upcoming!
	5:03pm C.S.: You have spelled out Retro "Fuure" for that album. Typo?
	5:03pm Julie: yikes thanks
	5:04pm Phillippe Bastille: Psycho Killer qu'est-ce que c'est
	5:04pm Handy Haversack: Chris!
	5:05pm Mr Nobody: If we don't include fictional characters then we wouldn't hear the awesomely awful Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff song about Freddy Kruger.
	5:05pm Phillippe Bastille: speaking of serial killers, here's Handy!
	5:05pm listener james from westwood: OMG, that Freddy rap was abysmal.
	5:06pm listener james from westwood: The lead cut off the Chunky A album might've been better than that track.
	5:07pm C.S.: ...just in time for the holidays, Julie.
	5:07pm Mr Nobody: OMG someone else remembers it? Bahaha
	5:08pm Phillippe Bastille: Rhett Miller refers to himself as a serial lady killer in the Old 97's "Barrier Reef": Empty bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty I saw her sitting at the bar, well you know how some girls are Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, "Hi there" My name's Stewart Ransom Miller, I'm a serial lady-killer" She said, "I'm already dead," that's exactly what she said
	5:12pm Mr Nobody: Yes!! Love this.
	5:12pm chris in the redwoods: excellent post-solstice track here, Julie. nice!
	5:14pm Scott67: I think mine will be a Pink Floyd Crazymess Day. After my compulsory lunch with Mum & Dad.
	5:14pm Julie: I had hoped to get it while the sun was going down but i can't time things quite that perfectly
	5:16pm βrian: The sun is almost down here. Just a few more minutes ...
	5:16pm Tome: Hi Julie !<>! hi everyone ,,, ahh !,.!Set The Controls!..! indeed !.,.!
	5:17pm Julie: hiya Tome!
	5:17pm Scott67: Solstice is so yesterday down here in Australia.
	5:18pm C.S.: @Scott67 They've never been big on Currier and Ives Christmas down under.
	5:18pm chris in the redwoods: i've actually never been to the other hemisphere. missing out, i know. hopefully someday.
	5:19pm Doug Schulkind: Greetings, Julie!
	5:19pm Julie: hi there Doug!
	5:22pm Scott67: C.S., Indeed! Not a lot of snow and sleighs around this Summer.
	5:25pm βrian: poof The sun is down.
	5:25pm C.S.: Are Bucko and Champs played a lot down there around this time, Scott67?
	5:27pm Handy Haversack: There are other hemispheres? How many?! This crazy old world.
	5:28pm βrian: Oh, Annie.
	5:28pm Scott67: C.S., I just hadta Google them, so definitely not played by me mate. :-)
	5:29pm C.S.: "Aussie Jingle Bells" was really the first time I had considered how different Christmas was in other parts of the world. How myopic of me.
	5:30pm C.S.: Here in New England it's mostly cold and dark. Getting real tired of it.
	5:30pm Phillippe Bastille: That guy on the right is a true Renaissance man.
	5:33pm Scott67: C.S., you're not alone mate. Don't blame yourself, when 70 million Americans voted as if the Earth were flat.
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: Don't worry, C.S., the days are getting longer!
	5:35pm dreamyandseedy: OPAL is incomparable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:36pm Handy Haversack: Opal!!! Yay!
	5:36pm C.S.: In theory, New England winters have a charm all their own. Seeing Maple syrup being made or visiting an orchard to get cider donuts. Nights by a warm fire after cross country skiing. Trouble is those activities are only fun when you have people to hang out with. I am so screwed.
	5:37pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL OPAL
	5:40pm C.S.: North Conway, NH ran a nice snow train for tourists a few years back. Nothing like seeing (and hearing and smelling) a steam locomotive in cold weather.
	5:41pm Scott67: C.S. Hang in there mate, we get cold & dark winters down south in the State of Victoria. But Friday's Summer forecast for us is sunny & 27c - 80f to you. More often Xmas Day is in the mid to high 30c and I've sat through some lunches in the 40c range.
	5:44pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:36 C.S.: weird, I never thought I'd miss cross country skiing. Nowadays, (Southern) Finnish winters are so mild, so there's very little snow and very little point to it.
	5:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, that's my cousin on geetar.
	5:45pm C.S.: Growing up people used to ice skate all the time right up until the mid 1980s. Now lakes and ponds in my hometown rarely freeze.
	5:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @5:45 Handy Haversack: what, really?
	5:46pm Scott67: C.S. I would be quite content sitting alone by a log fire with a warming beverage (Scotch).
	5:46pm chris in the redwoods: i still miss x-country skiing as a form of winter transit. there's a Haversack in the Airplane?
	5:47pm Dean: Drummer for Security Project is Jerry Marotta, who drummed for Gabriel for a long time. Might still be with him, for all I know.
	5:48pm Handy Haversack: Photocopy, yes, Jorma Kaukonen. His mom and my dad were cousins and very close. Her parents helped raise my dad and sent him to college for 3/4 of a degree (he was orphaned at 13). I was able to meet her once before she died, and I met Jorma's brother, but I have never met him. My sisters have, though, when Hot Tuna played Atlanta. Their mother was wonderful and always very kind to me my whole life.
	5:49pm Scott67: Winter was lockdown down here. So my winter transport was shuffling around the house in thongs (flip-flops).
	5:49pm Dean: That's something, HH! I listened just a couple nights ago to a recent show streamed from JK's digs. The first HT album, the live one, was recorded around the corner from where I live, about three blocks south.
	5:50pm Julie: I have no Hot Tuna, do I need Hot Tuna?
	5:50pm Handy Haversack: Ah, very cool, Dean! That branch of the family had lived in Finland before immigrating, and my "aunt" married a Finnish American in the foreign service and was posted in Finland for a while, @Cha Cha.
	5:51pm wenzo llc.: RIP Bob Mays, poet, record collector, record store owner & all around legend of the Detroit area
	5:53pm Dean: Yes. You need Hot Tuna. I dove in all at once and picked a box collecting their early stuff. Hot Tuna was Jorma's outlet with amazing bass player Jack Casady when they just wanted to tear into the Blues and jam. They rock like crazy, and the stuff with Papa John Creach on the violin is pretty intense.
	5:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Handy Haversack, thanks, fascinating info!
	5:54pm C.S.: @Scott67 We used to call them thongs in the states right up until those bikinis of the same name started making an appearance.
	5:55pm Dean: The Hot Tuna box: https://www.discogs.com/Hot-Tuna-The-CD-Vinyl-Replica-Collection-Boxset-/release/9665224
	5:57pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Hmmm, I have not gotten any further with my Hot Tuna explorations in 36 years, meaning I found "Yellow Fever" from my local library as an 8-year-old, and actually bought the very same record for pennies 10 years later when they were deleting stock. A few tracks aside, that album is all I have heard from Hot Tuna to this day. Then again, funnily enough I heard them years before I heard even a note from Jefferson Airplane.
	5:58pm Scott67: C.S. we still just call them G-strings. So thongs live on as our beloved footwear. I've worn mine virtually all this crazy year.
	5:58pm Handy Haversack: I think there were timber concerns, @Cha Cha? My dad's more immediate branch was in Odessa and emigrated from there around 1905. Ended up as tobacco farmers in Connecticut, but my dad's dad rebelled and became a geological engineer and tried to make it as a writer while exploring the South Seas [sic and !]. My dad's mother died when he was young, and his father was lost at sea trying to sail from Tahiti to Fiji by himself. Thus, the eventual stepping in by his cousin's family.
	6:00pm C.S.: Oddly enough I haven't had any down time during the pandemic. Grocery store that I work at has never been busier, So many projects at home are just languishing.
	6:00pm Scott67: Julie and gang, I'm just popping over to the Shangri-lounge for a cocktail in the sunshine. Back soon, doing great Julie, hah just heard your bird ♡
	6:01pm Julie: See you later Scott, enjoy!
	6:01pm wenzo llc.: good to know the theme... thinking of my siblings as I listen, both the one literal one who I don't think of enough & all the spiritual ones
	6:02pm Daya: Oh no, not the Seagulls! Here comes my PTSD 🤣
	6:02pm Handy Haversack: I am in a massive fight with both my sisters right now. COVID-related. Not sure whether we're gonna recover from this one.
	6:02pm Julie: do you know which one is the drummer? he is the one who is the brother of the singer.
	6:02pm Scott67: You're making me wanna stay......
	6:03pm Julie: @Handy believe me I get it, all mine voted for the oval office resident.. it is HARD
	6:03pm Julie: well, Scott, you are welcome of course!
	6:04pm Scott67: Handy, my sister's becoming a denialist too. What is that all about!???
	6:04pm chris in the redwoods: ooph, sorry Handy.
	6:05pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie. They are in a tough position, but ... who isn't. Ugh. I just hope my one sister doesn't get sick with the risks they're taking. She has asthma, which is what killed our mother. Thus, my fury.
	6:05pm Scott67: She still hates Trump though. Which is a relief.
	6:06pm Julie: Yeah I have one sister taking WAY too many chances
	6:07pm Handy Haversack: They are at my niece's wedding. Today. At Disney World. In Florida. Which is not where they live.
	6:08pm Julie: I have friends who flew to Florida also! Like what even?!
	6:09pm spodiodi: i try not to think about the risks my family are taking, Handy. i feel your fury and worry. that sounds pretty risky... man.
	6:09pm Daya: Have to head out for a bit, be back in about 90 minutes or so...
	6:09pm chris in the redwoods: oh holy hell. what are these people thinking?
	6:10pm Daya: ...not that anyone might miss my presence... 😆
	6:10pm Julie: I will daya see you later!
	6:10pm chris in the redwoods: misses already, Daya
	6:10pm Julie: the one friend I was safely seeing flew to florida to visit her family. I told her, she can't come over anytime soon.
	6:11pm Handy Haversack: The bright spot is that I called my one sister in like Sept. or Oct. to enlist her in backing me up to make sure my 93-year-old aunt and her wife wouldn't drive to FL for it -- and my sister said, "I just talked to her. They're not coming. They said it would make you too upset." Victory? We'll miss you, Daya!
	6:12pm Julie: i have friends in FL planning to go to disneyland. apparently it's a good time, lots of precautions, reservations for rides (!)
	6:12pm chris in the redwoods: i have a son who travels a lot for work. worry about him, but at least its his job he's traveling for
	6:13pm C.S.: Is Mickey wearing a mask?
	6:13pm Handy Haversack: Julie, I have been told to tell you that Kate is freaking out with (melancholy?) joy.
	6:14pm Julie: the junkies?
	6:14pm Julie: i know this is the obvious choice but it was too good to pass up
	6:15pm Handy Haversack: The Junkies!
	6:15pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I haven’t left my French house in 9 months, so glad to hear people are going to fucking Disneyland
	6:15pm Handy Haversack: (She's harmonizing!)
	6:17pm chris in the redwoods: trinity session kept me company during a breakup back in the day. still feels like a dear friend to this day. really good album.
	6:17pm Julie: Ugh for real, Sylvia
	6:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now now - keep appropriate distancing ! ...there's plenty of Julie to go around !!...
	6:19pm spodiodi: sounds like a victory, Handy
	6:22pm Julie: whoops this is the same song
	6:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As vaccines roll out despite some people's best efforts - I think of John Kerry fresh back from Vietnam asking Congress - who should be the last to die for a mistake...
	6:24pm Julie: don't get me started on who is getting it this week, freakin deniers
	6:27pm Dean: I heard it more as a 10CC moment.
	6:27pm Dean: By the way, the original incarnation of Renaissance, pre-Annie, featured siblings.
	6:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have you tried the Classifieds ??
	6:32pm Julie: don't think i haven't thought about it!
	6:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KNICK KNICKS ! About Jimmy Page ?
	6:35pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: gonna head for some 2am shopping - usually not possible here in the sticks as there's no local 245/7 stores, but they're trying to avoid Xmas shop overcrowding by keeping them open at all hours until Xmas eve. Will bring this show with me on my headphones&"smartphone" and try to be back soon.
	6:35pm Julie: hurry back Cha Cha and be safe!
	6:36pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Thanks, I will, but a 245/7 store, now that's something.
	6:37pm Sylvia (France-NYC): in France we are under a curfew, 8pm-6am
	6:39pm Julie: I mean I guess that's to keep folks out of bars, when we had it here it was 10 but you can pack a bar at 6pm just as easy (shrug)
	6:39pm Handy Haversack: Fanny!
	6:39pm Sylvia (France-NYC): bars are closed
	6:40pm Handy Haversack: Pas de Piano-Vache?
	6:40pm Handy Haversack: (Nous, on l'adore!)
	6:41pm Julie: Sylvia are you in the city or country?
	6:41pm HyperDose: We're pulling an all-nighter here! Oh yeah!
	6:42pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I’m in a smallish city (80 000 inhabitants)
	6:44pm Handy Haversack: Oh, sorry, Sylvia, for some reason I thought you were in Paris, which would make the Piano-Vache comment make more sense.
	6:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: J&MC sounding rather BritPop here ! Loves them. ...These are the longest Darkest Nights in fact of course...
	6:45pm Handy Haversack: Dang, the Jesus and Mary Chain kicked such serious butt.
	6:46pm spodiodi: \m/
	6:47pm chris in the redwoods: rawk!
	6:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh wow, the second half is going to be rockin'!
	6:48pm Nick: Overslept, is it still going ! time to tune in!
	6:48pm Julie: ohhh EDDIE
	6:48pm Julie: hiya Nick hi Ken!
	6:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1st VH was a game changer. & then?
	6:48pm Handy Haversack: Calling the dedication line to send this one out to Scott Williams ...
	6:48pm Sylvia (France-NYC): no Handy, Paris is way too expensive, more than Manhattan even
	6:48pm HyperDose: Airheads!
	6:49pm Miles of Middle Texas: Thanks for another great show ! Except for this Van Halen, just kidding. It is to rock.
	6:49pm Nick: hmn. i should also close the window. brb.
	6:49pm Handy Haversack: Je le sais, Sylvia. Je le sais.
	6:49pm Julie: hah you're welcome Miles!
	6:50pm Dean: I seem to recall that the first VH was a WB promo, an EP that my buddy acquired before the release of the eponymous first LP. I don't see it on Discogs, though. Am I making this up?
	6:51pm Dean: Nope, there it is: https://www.discogs.com/Van-Halen-Looney-Tunes-Promo/release/3066871
	6:54pm C.S.: Take care, Julie. Great show as usual. See you next time. Wait..what? There's three more hours to go? Ya!
	6:54pm Julie: hehe yep that's right!
	6:55pm C.S.: They cloned Cherie Currie? Who knew?
	6:55pm Aitch: Phew, sheltering from Xmas songs, about to slap somebody. Thanks Julie, hi all.
	6:56pm coelacanth∅: greetings Julie and soulseekers
	6:56pm Handy Haversack: Settle in, C.S.! I actually have to get on a [MOTHERPUSBUCKET] call in a minute. But you better believe I'll be back! Also, Kate's going to tag in, I think. Love it, Julie. SO glad to be here.
	6:56pm Nick: I am going to try opening this up in the arcade cabinet too, hopefully the two systems sync well.
	6:57pm Julie: hiya aitch! hiya Coela!
	6:57pm spodiodi: greetings Aitch and coelacanth∅
	7:00pm coelacanth∅: 'afternoon spodiø
	7:00pm Handy Haversack: (Did you all know that these so-called volunteers don't even get paid? Back soon.)
	7:00pm C.S.: Steve Lukather from Toto
	7:01pm chris in the redwoods: taking a break to give the puppers some exercise; back in a bit...
	7:02pm spodiodi: good luck, Handy
	7:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Big name amongst gittarheads SL.
	7:02pm coelacanth∅: mike love
	7:03pm C.S.: 1984 was the year released and the name of the album and the title of a song on the album.
	7:03pm Lisa Hammer: Loving this show so much
	7:04pm Dean: Repeat comment from a couple weeks ago: For a while two Cowsills, siblings, were in the Dwight Twilley Band.
	7:04pm Lisa Hammer: Hi! Will stay listening!!!
	7:06pm coelacanth∅: Dave Davies was (probably still is) a brilliant guitarist. Page was good too! but you really got me was/is just childrens music. anybody getting credit for that riff is like getting credit for the key of g.
	7:06pm Julie: I mean it really was the distortion that made it.
	7:07pm Aitch: Familiar names all around, hey Explorers.
	7:07pm coelacanth∅: right it was Dave's sound - and the energy behind it
	7:12pm Julie: cha cha is out shopping missing the finnish band
	7:16pm C.S.: Fugu...named after the deadly puffer fish delicacy?
	7:17pm Julie: that sounds likely!
	7:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The paradox is the reductive simplicity of the riff is what makes it a breakthrough : Pop & Rawk are so often about Sounds - often electronic ones. Like distortion is counterintuitively a simplification of the soundwave - chopping off bits of it to make like a pure electronic impulse - closer to a synthesizer. As soon as guitars were electric it was inevitable amps would be overdriven - there's Howlin' Wolf tracks in 1954 that have it. Right after The Kinks of course TheWho work with Jim Marshall to make the truly large Amos & it's all fond but the screaming. But there were also Surf players like DickDale pushing it with Fender Amos in Cali... Every time I listen to Fools Paradise it's like history gets rewritten !...
	7:19pm Levi: This is one of the funnest radio experiences in a while :D
	7:22pm K8: Hello Julie and Beautiful People! I've been listening for a couple of hours...so excited! I want to be in a dance club...wait, is my living room a dance club?
	7:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: typo bomb
	7:22pm Phillippe Bastille: hey, what did i miss?
	7:23pm Julie: hiya k8, hi Levi! thanks!
	7:24pm Nick: Phil, that depends on how long you were gone.
	7:24pm Julie: Phillippe I don't remember...siblings maybe?
	7:24pm K8: Hey hey Phillippe! From me and Handy..who is in a zoom meeting, and feeling...a little sad about that... @ Julie...this is so exciting! 7 hours!!! Yeeeaaaahhhh!
	7:25pm Julie: it is insanity but at least i finished my typing!
	7:26pm Nick: Hmn come to think of Bastilles I forgot the name of that famous French poet who wrote something about how " man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains." i should google that once i finish listening to music.
	7:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Haha ... K8, meet Kate!
	7:27pm Nick: w8 two kates? x.x that could get confusing.
	7:27pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey K8!
	7:27pm K8: Kate Bush!!! Oh, Ken, I know this Kate...she is amazing.
	7:28pm Julie: this album just grows on me more and more
	7:28pm Nick: She sure has great eyebrows on that album cover.
	7:29pm Nick: I think i need more sleep x.x
	7:29pm K8: She is so wonderfully weird on this album. I love it.
	7:30pm Julie: where you at these days, Nick?
	7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Man is born free, yet he is everywhere in chains. Rousseau's statement still stands, even in societies which are far freer than Old Regime France. This is because, when one takes away authoritarian '...
	7:30pm Dean: Not a poet, per se, Nick. Was Rousseau.
	7:31pm Julie: BORN FREEEEEEEEEEEE AS FREE AS THE WIND BLOWS...oh Elsa
	7:31pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Took me until 7:30 and PULL OUT THE PIN to raise my head out of work and say...hmmm Neighbor's noise is different tonight.
	7:31pm Julie: hiya Rich!
	7:31pm Julie: I love how wonderfully goth the cover of this gal's EP is
	7:31pm Nick: Not a poet? okay! Rouseeau! that was it! , Julie, still at that house I bought a few months ago. It's near the beach but the beach is kind of windy lately.
	7:32pm Julie: which country though? and ahhh beach
	7:32pm Nick: Julie, same country as you, just further down the 95
	7:33pm Dean: Now that we're getting political, you all should read Elizabeth Anderson's Tanner Lectures from 2015: https://tannerlectures.utah.edu/Anderson%20manuscript.pdf Best sentence: "Most workers in the United States are governed by communist dictatorships in their work lives."
	7:34pm Dean: Rousseau was, however, a composer. I have a recording of an opera he wrote.
	7:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Everything we feared from ColdWar Commies we have manifested.
	7:34pm Nick: Oh, a composer! Maybe we can talk Julie into adding him sometime.
	7:35pm Dean: Well, a fledgling composer. Mozart he weren't.
	7:36pm Nick: Rabbit, well, communism definitely explored many ways of exploiting people. But just because people are exploited doesn't mean it is due to communism. But if we get too into politics it might ruin the mood for people who just want to drift around and be carried by the music ^_^ can always message me when the music is off too.
	7:36pm Julie: cold war commies is a great name for a band
	7:36pm Daya: I’m back...
	7:36pm Dean: Hot War Commies is a better name!
	7:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is dancey rawkin catchy & moody all @ once.
	7:36pm Julie: welcome back Daya!
	7:36pm Nick: Julie, remember that Waynes World scene where their fundraising party for rtheir band concert, was a commie party
	7:39pm K8: I just did a search of "cold war commies" and "hot war commies," and they don't exist as bands...soooo..seems like someone out there should start a band...
	7:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The bandname Nat King Kong has been floated : seemed like a good idea till I contemplated graphix...
	7:40pm Nick: Hmn. Starting a band could be fun. Do any of us play instruments well.
	7:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well enuff for that bandname...
	7:41pm K8: I'm a fan of just getting together and making noise...
	7:41pm Daya: I always liked “Legs Akimbo” for a band name ☺️
	7:42pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I was laughed at when I asked a music teacher about Bach's "Tocatta and Fugu in D minor". Gimme a break, I was 20.
	7:42pm K8: Yow! Legs akimbo! That seems like yoga...
	7:42pm coelacanth∅: get with the century...you don't have to be able to play an instrument to have a band. you don't even need ANY talent! that's what software and marketing are for!
	7:42pm Nick: Arms Akimbo was a cartoon villain in the warner brothers cartoon Freakazoid.
	7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LegsAkimbo is the Singer's name...
	7:43pm Nick: coelacanth oe, I understand the concept, but I studied violin, and took voice lessons from an opera singer turned conservatory director. So I'd still rather do it well. ^_^
	7:43pm Daya: I prefer Deep Purple with Tommy Bolin, only two albums tho’
	7:44pm Dean: Interesting, Daya. I was in a band named Akimbo well before the band of that name that had some success. We played a joint in Buena Park (think Knott's Berry Farm, not far from Disneyland) where Metallica played their first "paid" show (years after we played, naturally). It was one of the very few good bands I was in. Good songwriters, good musicians except me. Pretty solid show, as I recall.
	7:44pm K8: Exactly, coela...make some music or noise or whatever...wait, wait @ Rev Rabbit...that's the singer's name? Wow. wow.
	7:45pm coelacanth∅: RR @718 and before Dick Dale was Elmore; and before him was Christian. (although Christian's distortion may have been unavoidable)
	7:45pm Daya: We came up with “legs akimbo” for our name back in 1979, but ended up with an 80s name, that started with “The” like every other band in the 80s.
	7:46pm coelacanth∅: Nick, i'd rather you did too
	7:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elmo !
	7:47pm Nick: coelacanth0 that'd require effort and practice and some amount of cohesion with a band though.
	7:47pm Nick: and I might need a haircut. ... or two.
	7:47pm Julie: oh this guy was in 10CC?
	7:47pm Daya: Of course “Hornets Attack Victor Mature” was a cool band name too ;)
	7:48pm K8: Practice is good...and haircuts...but also just getting together to make noise, that's cool too. I miss a lot of stuff...
	7:48pm Handy Haversack: "Hornets Attack Victor Mature" was a GREAT band name!
	7:49pm K8: Handy is cheating on his Zoom meeting...
	7:50pm Nick: K8, well, making noise could be fun. Writing songs would be effort too. If you want to start a band by combining various listeners it might be fun to try.
	7:50pm Dean: Graham Gouldman? Nope. Never in 10CC. I grew jaded in terms of band names with the advent of X. Still can't fathom why they picked that. I always liked Fruit Eating Bears.
	7:50pm Julie: which 10CC album do I need? I LOVE this but I don't think the band sounds this way
	7:50pm Julie: that's not what google says!
	7:51pm K8: There was a musing of making a skeleton crew fandom track...
	7:51pm Phillippe Bastille: I do believe Graham Gouldman was in 10CC. Also wrote For Your Love years and years ago
	7:51pm Julie: the only constant member, it seems
	7:51pm Nick: meh. speaking of albums I still need to put some effort into hunting for a record player.
	7:52pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Going through the set list and sad to have missed If By Yes. A shame they never really did anything else, at least that I'm aware of.
	7:52pm K8: You want in on that, Nick? Skelton crew fandom/tracksom track?
	7:52pm Dean: Depends on what you mean by "this" and "way." (I'm joking. OF COURSE GRAHAM GOULDMAN WAS IN 10cc!!!) I love Original Soundtrack. "Minestrone," c'mon?
	7:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fruit eats bears shoots & leaves. No hornets sighted.
	7:52pm Julie: Rich they had their own projects
	7:52pm Nick: K8 well, I could give it a try. I'm a tad out of practice at singing and such. But trying new hobbies is usually fun.
	7:53pm Phillippe Bastille: Somebody at FMU had him on for an interview a couple years back. Interesting guy, keeps cranking out the music.
	7:53pm coelacanth∅: K8 i agree with that (which you'd know if you heard the awful noise I make!... i don't recommend that) but what i'm referring to is the mainstream crap that's so often created from marketing/image ideas, algorithm-generated ideas, mass-appeal-tested production ideas... no . . . i'd rather hear unadulterated music by people that can't play for shit, than that
	7:54pm Phillippe Bastille: I preferred Sheet Music out of the 10ccs. Wall Street Shuffle, baby!
	7:55pm K8: well...i have been procrastinating an invitation to the WFMU listening community about making some aural thank yous for our skeletons...
	7:56pm Phillippe Bastille: K8, I'll do one if I don't have to sing it!
	7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My lead gittar noise was Sampled & grafted onto this fellow's track : jamusic6.bandcamp.com... ...careful what you wish for...
	7:57pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel I take it you aren't a Max Martin fan?
	7:57pm Nick: Phil, I can probably sing it. What kind of vocal range will it be in though.
	7:59pm Daya: Can I be in? I play a mean VibraSlap!
	7:59pm K8: @Phillippe Seems like we should all make whatever noises we want to give...I can make you sing at another time.
	8:00pm Cronbat: Great set Julie! Thanks for supersizing the show!
	8:00pm Phillippe Bastille: Oh K8, you'll never make me sing...
	8:00pm Julie: thanks cronbat!!
	8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh I think there's an album's worth of conflict & enthusiasm here...
	8:01pm K8: @Daya VIRBRASLAP? Yowzers! This shit is gonna get crazy...and I love it...and @ Phillippe...I mean, come on, everyone sings...
	8:01pm Nick: at least enough for a dust jacket.
	8:01pm K8: This Still Corners track is gorgeous...
	8:01pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Back home and gotta say, I really can't think of a better way to drown out the horrible xmas soundtracks the supermarkets provide, especially Wilma was a nice surprise. Btw, "Ihmelapsi" means a child prodigy (the German equivalent "Wunderkind" is even more direct translation).
	8:02pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe i'm afraid to listen to a sample of Martin Max. never heard of him, but i'm taking your question as a warning!
	8:02pm Phillippe Bastille: Has anyone watch the television series reboot of High Fidelity? There is WFMU stuff in almost every episode -- tee shirts, bumper stickers...
	8:02pm Julie: thanks for turning me onto Wilma they are so good!
	8:02pm coelacanth∅: ...(Max Martin)
	8:03pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @8:02 Julie: no worries, I'm very glad you like them.
	8:03pm Nick: Photo C C, that reminds me, of some german movie i watched, Vitus, about a wunderkind who gets a head injury and then a chance to pretend to be average and normal again to be happy.
	8:03pm Julie: oooh that sounds good
	8:04pm spodiodi: didn't know one existed, PB. very cool
	8:04pm Nick: Phil, there's bumper stickers? I could put one on my little m35 jeep?
	8:04pm Julie: yeah there's been some chatter about that around the station haven't seen it though. Zoe Kravitz right?
	8:05pm Julie: I don't want to hear anyone tell me there's no good new music! this is pretty fab
	8:05pm coelacanth∅: there's limitless good new music!
	8:06pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel he runs a songwriting factory in Sweden or some place like that. They have a bunch of songwriters that sit around and crank out a hit song every 4 hours or so, Their approach is to put the hook in the first 10 seconds or so, or else they'll lose the listener. "Martin has written or co-written 23 Billboard Hot 100 number-one songs, most of which he has also produced or co-produced, including Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" (2008), Maroon 5's "One More Night" (2012), Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space" (2014), and The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" (2019). Martin is the songwriter with the third-most number-one singles on the chart, behind only Paul McCartney (32) and John Lennon (26). In addition, he has the second-most Hot 100 number-one singles as a producer, 21, behind George Martin, who had achieved 23 by the time of his death
	8:06pm Mr Nobody: Someone say Jeep? O.o
	8:06pm Mr Nobody: Also lol at "little" M35
	8:07pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @8:03 Nick: you recommend Vitus? Never heard of that one, I googled - no, DDG'd that one. Then again, I have very little knowledge regarding Swiss movies.
	8:07pm Nick: Mr Nobody, it's kind of a cross between a jeep and a truck, but yeah.
	8:07pm Julie: damn I thought Taylor wrote Shake it Off, that's a good song
	8:07pm Phillippe Bastille: Yes, Zoe takes the John Cusack role.
	8:07pm coelacanth∅: < looking at that cover ...i guess the doors didn't have exclusivity
	8:08pm Mr Nobody: Oh I know about Deuces. Very cool.
	8:08pm K8: Zoe takes the Cusack role!!!
	8:08pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: We've been quiet on the comments board tonight, but listening attentively since 3pm, Julie. Great show, as ever!
	8:08pm Nick: Photo CC, well, as a former bright kid who got stuffed into tag programs and forcibly skipped grades and what not, I found it kind of entertaining. The overall production value seemed low. But the plot was delivered well.
	8:09pm Julie: heya S&M&S good to see ya
	8:10pm Phillippe Bastille: @Julie part of his arrangement, I believe, is that the artist (who buys a crapload of money to buy the song) can make some changes to be able to say they co-wrote it. Change a word, make a third.
	8:10pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Phillippe. i've never heard those 3 songs either... and i hope i never do!
	8:10pm Phillippe Bastille: *pays not buys
	8:10pm K8: @Sylvia...sounds like lock-down in France is...well, the way lock-down is. Hang in there...there is a light at the end of this tunnel....
	8:11pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel you have him to thank for The Backstreet Boys as well
	8:11pm Julie: Sylvia is doing it right. I've had two friends lose family members this month, and two more who have ones with diagnoses.
	8:12pm coelacanth∅: ooh i love the backstreet boys!
	8:12pm Scott67: Hey kids I'm back! Looks like I missed some good stuff.
	8:12pm coelacanth∅: - oh, wait - i meant they make me cringe.
	8:13pm Julie: writing hooks is definitely a skill, but seeing like 10 names on a song mystifies me
	8:13pm K8: Oh Julie...I'm so sorry. This shit is so crazy. Wow...Julie, you're playing PRINCE!!!
	8:13pm Nick: Coel, i liked Weird Al's covers of their oreo song.
	8:13pm Julie: hiya Scott! WB. It's not the first time I've played Prince :D
	8:14pm K8: By which...I mean..."Julie, you're playing PRINCE..." which means I'm crying...because...
	8:14pm Nick: Julie, i dunno, to me its kind of like when politicians co-sponsor a bill, maybe most of the co-authors of a ten author song are just there for moral support.
	8:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Sylvia's hit the hay, K8 (Michael, here) but yes, I think they're handling it much better. I'm also sure Sylvia would/will disagree! She thinks even France could be doing this much better.
	8:15pm Julie: I wish it were longer but I really wanted to hear his Case of You
	8:15pm Nick: I'm still not used to hearing him sing on his own
	8:16pm Julie: wow I'd never know this was Paul if it wasn't Paul
	8:16pm coelacanth∅: 82 years old. guy's fucking amazing.
	8:16pm K8: Moral Support! Moral Creative Support! @Michael...I definitely know over here that we think the gov could've done better for us during all of this..I'm not sure what to do with all that feeling...
	8:17pm Scott67: He's channelling some Johnny Cash there.
	8:17pm K8: I'll second that PC @ 82 is freaking amazing!!!
	8:18pm C.S.: Still can't forgive Paul McCartney for that "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" song that I have to endure at work just about everyday.
	8:19pm coelacanth∅: Scott i was thinking the same thing.
	8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting observation Scott67! It is quite poignant to still have him - & not John or George for so long...
	8:20pm Phillippe Bastille: Run Devil Run was a fun McCartney cover album
	8:20pm coelacanth∅: - except Cash only made it to ...79? ...and wasn't still composing by then, as far as i know
	8:20pm K8: Yeah, C.S., I can see that. The cash cow of holiday music is a weird world...I both hate it and then, weirdly, suprisingly, sometimes, love it again? Or also hate it...ugh, I don't know...
	8:22pm Scott67: C.S., you're not having a good one are ya mate!? Seasons change, & mercifully Governments. Sending you some sunshine and solidarity.
	8:22pm coelacanth∅: ...though i have to say - %-wise, i like more Johnny Cash than i do solo McCartney
	8:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Working retail helped put me over the top for all holiday music & Xmas itself forever. I'm done.
	8:22pm C.S.: It makes me wonder what John Lennon would have done with his music had he lived. What would he think of the world today?
	8:22pm Scott67: Coelacanth, great minds mate.
	8:23pm C.S.: I so miss those 3 AM broadcasts, Julie. Such fun.
	8:23pm Daya: Personally, I would have liked to see how Jimi would have evolved, musically :)
	8:23pm Dean: Songwriting? Check out Schubert, Beethoven, Debussy, Chaminade... There's a huge supply of gorgeous stuff. I remember seeing the first McCartney at KMart during visits time after time. Finally I bought it there, '70 or '71. A superb album.
	8:24pm Phillippe Bastille: Oooh, my favorite Genesis record!
	8:24pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I needed a little Mellotron fix
	8:25pm Daya: “Trick” is a very good disc!
	8:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If only Macca had some collaborator to balance his productivity with gravitas - if only there were ever such a person...
	8:25pm Rich in Bay Ridge: PB I might agree with you on this record
	8:25pm Handy Haversack: Well. That's over.
	8:25pm Julie: WB Handy!
	8:25pm coelacanth∅: judging by double fantasy, Lennon wouldn't be creating anything i'd want to listen to - not for a long time now. but maybe he would've ditched Yoko and started making good, radical folk music or something.
	8:26pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: I so wish I had A Trick of the Tail on vinyl, I quite like this album... to think I used to avoid post-Gabriel Genesis like plague.
	8:27pm Nick: Did their son make music too.
	8:27pm Dean: '76 Starlight Amphitheater, Genesis post-Gabriel, Bruford drumming, the sole Genesis show I've seen live. Sorry, but post-Gabriel Genesis never approached the promise of the earlier band, due not least to Collins' amazing contributions.
	8:27pm coelacanth∅: Daya @823 probably the greatest loss of potential in my opinion with that tragedy
	8:27pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Dean that must have been a banger of a show with Billy B and Philly C going at it.
	8:28pm chris in the redwoods: back from a nice long walk with the puppers and the mrs. hello again.
	8:28pm coelacanth∅: RR @825 that's what i want for Neil Young. so much potential but he needs a collaborator - and a moderator
	8:28pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie. I didn't even yell at anybody. Pretty good.
	8:28pm Scott67: I was a Department Store Santa for a month, in our Summer. The store had virtually no AC, and the line of kids was endless. I even did a 6 hour outdoor sit on Santa's knee, in the sun on a 38c day.
	8:29pm Julie: heya Chris!
	8:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: John did pretty well for only making it to 40 & 1980. No telling @ all how much more we would've had. I think he would've aged fast though - he was already showing it. Miss Zappa for what he had to say about things too. Talk about one-offs...
	8:31pm coelacanth∅: Scott i watched an interview with a santa who had a child die on his lap. fucking balling my eyes out
	8:31pm Julie: oh god
	8:31pm chris in the redwoods: jeez, coel. can't imagine recovering from that one.
	8:32pm Phillippe Bastille: damn, that would be hard to watch
	8:32pm Daya: Coel: yep, agree. He had sessions set up with free-thinking jazz musicians, would have loved to see where he went in that environment
	8:32pm coelacanth∅: (in my defense the santa was crying when he told the story)
	8:32pm Julie: how could you not?
	8:33pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, coela, that's intense.
	8:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Losing Hendrix was like losing Coltrane for Jazz. How he would've bridged Genres - in every direction you look there was potential.
	8:33pm Phillippe Bastille: was it a hospital visit type thing or did the kid come to the mall and expire?
	8:33pm coelacanth∅: Daya and he was successfully breaking from the hole they'd dug for him (no pun intended... musically)
	8:34pm Dean: Rich, It was a terrific show! They did "Supper's Ready" and more. I have a bootleg from the show. But while I think Lamb was a pinnacle, and while I love their early records, even though Gabriel's presence could be difficult, I most enjoy that early stuff. Genesis Live is a damn fine album.
	8:34pm Scott67: coelacanth, I had a woman with terminal cancer come in from palliative care with her family for a Santa photo. I was crying when the next child approached me. My elf got in my face and told me to suck it up,. It was horrible.
	8:35pm chris in the redwoods: never trust an elf. never.
	8:35pm Phillippe Bastille: "My elf got in my face and told me to suck it up" gonna go on next year's Christmas card
	8:35pm coelacanth∅: both Hendrix and Trane had already catalyzed so much change in their respective short lives
	8:36pm Julie: will ferrell is the only good elf
	8:36pm coelacanth∅: Phillipe i think the boy had cancer. it was in public, probably the mall
	8:36pm Handy Haversack: Imagine in Hendrix and Nirvana had been able to collaborate.
	8:37pm Phillippe Bastille: Oh my. Tragic.
	8:37pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Awesome @Dean - I watched the video of the 76 show in Paris a thousand times - I recorded it off Night Flight on USA and wore out the tape. I agree that Lamb was probably their pinnacle, but I like the 2 albums they did as a quartet, and Duke is eminently listenable
	8:37pm Scott67: She was young and naive in the emotions of loss I guess. But I'd not long lost several friends to cancer. So suck it up was beyond me.
	8:37pm K8: I'm gonna sign off, although I am still listening, and may tell Handy to type things in my name...JULIE, what a gift this extended time is with you...THANK YOU!
	8:38pm spodiodi: scott, coel: sad stuff. and good for you for doing it, scott
	8:38pm Julie: thanks for listening K8!
	8:38pm passiflora: :)
	8:38pm coelacanth∅: yeah maybe going off-stage for a minute to suck it up would've been more reasonable.
	8:38pm Phillippe Bastille: I can imagine, Scott
	8:38pm Scott67: Cheers spodiodi.
	8:39pm Julie: hi passiflora!
	8:40pm coelacanth∅: tchau K8
	8:40pm Scott67: Merci' Phillippe.
	8:40pm Handy Haversack: Oh, hell yeah, Johanna Warren! One of our favorite albums of the year! (And NOT just because of the title ... though it doesn't hurt.)
	8:40pm passiflora: hi!
	8:41pm Phillippe Bastille: Speaking of elves, I gotta sign off and and wrap a few gifts I'm delivering tomorrow. Thanks for the bonus tracks, Julie! Good night everyone!
	8:41pm Julie: nite Phillippe thanks for listening!
	8:41pm spodiodi: aloha, PB, K8
	8:41pm Scott67: Bon soire Phillippe.
	8:42pm Handy Haversack: L8r, Phillippe! I have a package with your address on it, just waiting for one of us to be brave enough to go to the (worst) post office (in New York).
	8:42pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Plenty of good music has been released this year (shame on me not spending enough £$€ on Bandcamp) abd yet every time I see an album or a track is from 2020 I feel surprised any music got released this year.
	8:42pm chris in the redwoods: digging this Johanna Warren.
	8:43pm Nick: I'd love to go to a post office in new york
	8:43pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Handy! Later spodi, scott, coel!
	8:43pm coelacanth∅: tchau Phillippe greetings spodi
	8:43pm Julie: Handy you gotta get a scale and click and ship. they'll pick up your priority stuff!
	8:44pm Nick: But then you can't go and be overly cheerful amid all the people annoyed at waiting in line at the post office...
	8:44pm Handy Haversack: In NYC? I thought the most they offered was in-vestibule smashing service!
	8:45pm Julie: oh yeah Handy I do it all the time
	8:45pm Nick: I keep seeing people use the word vestibule today.
	8:47pm Julie: is Dean still here? You digging that Donovan set?
	8:47pm Scott67: Nick, love that word. They're very useful at the moment too.
