	9:13pm Beer: Loving this. Thanks Ira!
	9:13pm vj pussycat: ok crazy question i know but @jedley - having just discovered ira's radio show i was exploring the past shows and noticed that you're sf based. is it possible that we were briefly flatmates a long while ago??

	9:16pm Joeybug69: Felicitations to one & all!
	9:16pm Ira: UM, I wonder who Lou Reed was referring to with New Sensations?
	9:17pm ledzeppelinsucks: Did the singer for The Sensations get traded from The Temptations?
	9:17pm JT: Farfisa jar electronica
	9:18pm Ira: @ledzep, it was a complicated swap also involving The Ovations and the O'Kaysions.
	9:19pm Uncle Michael: I'm just sorry Lou's not around to wear a fashionable Blue Mask.
	9:20pm TDK60: Gracias for posting info on the benefit compilation for Georgia, Ira.
	9:21pm Ira: TDKI60 . . . confused. Georgia already knew about the benef-- ok, now I understand.
	9:23pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I need to get away from Christmas music for a moment so I thought I'd stop by!
	9:24pm Gary: Cool cover, I think Michele played it today.
	9:24pm TDK60: Groovy cover, de Love.
	9:24pm Uncle Michael: Todd, if you get snowed in at the Candlewood Suites on Friday, I have you covered, again.
	9:25pm JT: RIP, Stanley
	9:27pm diciassette: Ahoy! I thought I was hearing Peter Peter Ivers for a moment. I think I clicked on the right star.. (will investigate later)
	9:29pm diciassette: Aha! Got it.
	9:30pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello! This Max Roach is killing it! Thanks, Ira.
	9:31pm JT: Tone
	9:38pm melinda: hi Ira and folks!
	9:42pm Mike W: Bad Politics is a christmas song
	9:43pm Ira: @Mike W--that's why I didn't play it tonight!
	9:49pm bobby jay: he's a whore...we're all whores...happy birthday to my dear friend...Rick Nielsen...life is cheap...
	9:54pm Syl: Y'know, when you really think about it, the Chipmunks are pretty funny. I mean, chipmunks singing popular songs! Haha
	9:55pm melinda: I like the Chipmunks
	9:55pm Uncle Michael: Ross Bagdasarian couldn't live on his "Rear Window" residuals.
	9:55pm BH: that Chipmunks In Crowd track made me think of a Harry Harrison/In Sound/US Army/Chipmunks crossover track
	9:55pm JT: Westway munking
	9:55pm Dr. Fauci: Covid Trick are my favorite band...
	9:56pm JB from NP: Wow, Chipmunks again? Chip Hop?
	9:56pm Ira: Uncle Michael, how I would love to hear the isolated track of Ross Bagdasarian's apartment in Rear Window!
	9:57pm Uncle Michael: There might have been rodents.
	9:57pm JT: No matter what happens, the bass.
	9:59pm brenda: I'm going to have the chipmunk version of "long and winding road" played at my funeral...
	9:59pm Ira: Gonna send this one out to birthday boy Rick Nielsen!
	10:00pm slugluv1313: good evening, Ira and Skeletons and Everyone! oh good grief! i have this LP somewhere -- Chipmunks A-Go-Go? think i found it in a thrift shop in the 80s . . . and yeah, i still have all the old Chipmunks LPs from when i was a little kid . . . years later, it got to be this tradition, my Mom playing those Chipmunks records on Christmas morning :)
	10:00pm JT: James Burton
	10:01pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira! I can get used to James Burton's guitar as my intro music.
	10:01pm Casey: Hey Ira, have you ever checked out The Collins Kids / Lorrie Collins, Ricky Nelson's girlfriend in the late 50s? Great rockabilly
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: I think the term is "walk up music", slugger.
	10:02pm Ira: Casey, got to see the Collins Kids at the Ponderosa Stomp with Deke Dickerson's band. Fantastic!
	10:03pm Gaylord Fields: @UM: If I were really a slugger, my "walk-up" song would be "Silent Knight" by Son of Pete.
	10:03pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I am so ready to do The Freddie!
	10:03pm leshwatt: Like coolsville, man
	10:03pm Casey: Wow I'm insanely jealous. Hop, Skip and a Jump, that Larry Collins could really play
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: Ira, that's about as cool as having been in the studio audience for Larry Collins throwing down with Merle Travis.
	10:05pm Uncle Michael: Deke must have been in hog heaven.
	10:05pm bobby jay: your always welcome to my garden party
	10:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, Ira and Iradite listeners.
	10:08pm Ira: Casey, The Ponderosa Stomp, always the greatest. When they had two stages, you'd be insanely jealous of the people who were wherever you weren't, even though your mind was exploding with what you were seeing.
	10:10pm yip: i know that song its silent does john richman play on it?
	10:10pm Rick G: Wayne Horvitz-used to play all the time in Seattle and I never took the chance to see him. Regrets, I’ve had a few!
	10:11pm JT: Max Ernst walks up to a door, is denied entry, must figure out what to do next
	10:11pm Ira: Rick G., I'll say this for 2020--there are a lot less great shows happening that we're missing.
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: @Gaylord: "atsa some joke, boss"
	10:11pm listener 126464: Hello Ira, everyone.
	10:12pm Casey: Was that in New Orleans or Memphis? Sounds like a great time
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: I was only holding tickets for one show when lockdown happened. Squeeze.
	10:15pm Ira: Collins Kids were New Orleans, Casey.
	10:17pm ruby/manchester: silent knight...A knight in the snow...with an icicle hanging' from his face...A very snowy capped layout o the 45...brilliant
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: OK, I'm banishing myself. Night all...night Ira.
	10:19pm TDK60: G'night UM.
	10:20pm N'Lo: BaltiMORE! Listening from, and thank you!
	10:20pm KWilde: See you Friday UM
	10:22pm Michael Shore: @IraK other jazz bassoonists (tho none current): James Jackson of the Arkestra...Illinois Jacquet (great "Round Midnight" on bassoon)...Frankie Trumbauer (on "Apple Blossoms" with Joe Venuti)
	10:23pm judy from croton: Just loved seeing your mom Friday night; I am a staunch non-crier. Not anymore
	10:26pm Ira: I stand corrected, Michael Shore, probably not for the last time tonight.
	10:27pm Ira: Judy from Croton, it is always the highlight of our year to rock w/my mom.
	10:27pm Dusty: Is Monkey 101 the same track we could sorta see spinning away from the Hanukkah show? I actually took a photo of my tv to try and figure out the tune.
	10:27pm JT: I will get your water boiling to cook your goose. Swipe right.
	10:27pm yodel: Ira...how could you not play...Yorgi Yorgesson...yingle bells or at least...I must go nuts at Christmas...
	10:28pm Libby’s mom: N’Lo - also from BaltiMo! Ira and Georgia (and James) thanks for the great 9th night show
	10:29pm Ira: Yes it is, Dusty!
	10:32pm Mike W: true sounds of holidays
	10:34pm Aitch: A bit of vintage oz
	10:36pm McGroovey: Hindu Gods of Love is my new favorite song. I love the riff.
	10:38pm glennfromglendale: Thank god this show was able to pull me away from the two day West Wing hole I was in.
	10:38pm Gaylord Fields: Joey Heatherton certainly has The Love Spirit this Christmas season.
	10:38pm Dusty: Joey H beats West Wing, hands down.
	10:41pm tony: lance rentzel...
	10:43pm tony: joey never recovered... A future song title...
	10:44pm Josh G: Good evening everyone, This is a perfect Bananagrams postgame wind down. Thanks, Ira.
	10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: I was hangin' with Carl Stone...and suddenly I'm kicking it with Steve Miller. Nicely executed, Ira!
	10:46pm JT: Arista era Kinks too
	10:49pm ?: Judy from Croton..Do I know you?
	10:51pm Georgia: @judy it’s the riddler!
	10:52pm Mr. Pumpy: Suzy Chreemcheese, what's go into you?
	10:54pm glennfromglendale: I’m actually currently wearing my Arkestra shirt I snagged at the free Union Pool show last year
	10:54pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Ira, Georgia, skeleton, TOPT, Gaylord, McGroove, 126464, HP Ken, all. It's going to be a great last hour+ of this show, kinehora!
	10:56pm TDK60: I think I was there, glennfromglendale. Seems so long ago. '19? -mists of tyme.
	10:58pm glennfromglendale: That show is like a strange dream in my memory. I was feeling out of it and off that day but wouldn’t miss that for the world. Pretty sure every WFMU Dj was there
	11:00pm god like: had a band back in the 80s called...Sunny Davis Ra...we did wild versions of...Mr bojangles.....the candy man...and ended with I've gotta be me..they use to throw candy corn at us...are drummer got hit in the eye...
	11:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hiya, Jack. Plenty of snow left up here. Lots of snow remaining in Hoboken?
	11:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Ken -- just enough snow to muck up street parking and to recreate my favorite failed Garrison Keillor series, Slushy Corners.
	11:09pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, if I mention that I'm in the process of arranging a possible interview with Tony Hatch, does that clarify at all?
	11:11pm god like: my favorite things could easily sidetrack into a Christmas collection...others as well...be careful...that black metal you play could be hark the herald...
	11:12pm Ira: Gaylord (because I don't think Pseu or Michael is listening), you were the first person I thought of, and then I--as is so frequently the case--questioned myself.
	11:14pm Chop Scott: I'm a happy listener, thanks Ira & cheers all!
	11:17pm Kat in Chicago: That new Firesign Theatre release was compiled/produced by Taylor Jessen aka Ironybread who has a show on the Sheena's stream. The cover art is more than a little reminiscent of Pet Sounds.
	11:17pm titi: Gaylord...always finding an opening of restriction...always allowing the passage to come forth...your the portal of pop......the Hatching of pop eggs...
	11:18pm Ira: @titi: I'm sure this is nothing but a coincidence, but that was almost word for word how the late Aldo Jones used to introduce Ben Vaughn at Combo shows.
	11:20pm Gaylord Fields: @titi: I'm a fan of Beat poetry, and what you wrote captures the form beautifully (and is very kind of you to versify).
	11:25pm egould310: Gotta finish this report; then Christmas vacation. Thanks for the tunes Ira. Helps alot.
	11:27pm TDK60: Thanks for the raga. The morrow approaches; night.
	11:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: The dearly departed Aldo Jones and I were born on the exact same day. He was a lovely fella, and the world is a diminished place without him.
	11:27pm Threemoons: Loving this set. Tired.
	11:27pm bradd in spokane: No!!!!!! What happened to Ustad?
	11:28pm Ira: Happy to help, egould310. I always found the incomplete to be a useful tool during my studies. Then again, it took me something like 20 years to get my diploma, so perhaps my life lesson is not the one to follow.
	11:28pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:29pm Ira: Gaylord, I couldn't agree more.
	11:31pm Ira: @bradd: I can't think of a comment I'd rather receive than someone disappointed that a song was only 18 minutes long.
	11:31pm bradd in spokane: Ira, you're welcome! I'm loving this show, by the way.
	11:35pm Kat in Chicago: Nathan Salsburg goes into the bandcamp wishlist.
	11:35pm titi: Ira...is Ben Vaughn...the guy from Man from Uncle?
	11:35pm Kat in Chicago: Is this one 18 minutes long? Because I'm okay with that.
	11:36pm jonah: i just took an incomplete for a course right before going on leave to avoid online classes, not sure when i actually plan on completing it. but I'm digging the set big time!
	11:38pm Ira: @Kat: I was just thinking something similar, that sadly this one's a mere 10 minutes long. @titi: I think you're confusing Ben Vaughn with Vaughn Meader.
	11:38pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm enthralled. Nathan Salsburg is laying it down! I feel my wallet opening...
	11:38pm rocco: had a great sex...thanks for the 18 minutes...
	11:38pm Ira: Thanks for sharing, rocco!
	11:40pm Mr. Pumpy: rocco...it's only 10 mins. Don't go chasing waterfalls!
	11:41pm Mr. Pumpy: The vinyl is on the way. Holidays 2020, Covid, USPS...I'll have it in June.
	11:42pm Charkrem: that was exquisite.... Happy Holidays, Ira!!
	11:43pm Ira: Mr. Pumpy, here's to the best National Egg Day (June 3) ever.
	11:46pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm with ya, Ira! How do you like 'em?
	11:48pm McGroovey: Dang. I was loading the dishwasher and brushing my teeth and missed the left song/right song thing. One left song/right song thing I remember hearing a long time ago was the Flipper Brainwash 7" in one channel, Fripp or Fripp & Eno ambience in the other. This was on WRPI in the eighties when that Flipper 7" had just come out.
	11:49pm Ira: Mr. Pumpy: deviled.
	11:49pm Kat in Chicago: Dura went into the wishlist too.
	11:49pm Mr. Pumpy: McGroove3y...imma try that! Sounds like a good mix.
	11:50pm Mr. Pumpy: @Kat, same here. Dura is like a subdued tremolo of the gods.
	11:51pm Kat in Chicago: sounds like we have similarly tuned ears, Mr. Pumpy :)
	11:53pm Kat in Chicago: I played the same Ana Roxanne track on my show on Monday. That one was fun to back-announce. "Uh, three dashes?"
	11:53pm Ira: There's a reason I saved it for the set I don't back announce, Kat.
	11:54pm bang: those last 3-4 songs was like a snickers mantra...could not differentiate the nougat...caramel...or peanuts...Zen Candy
	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. Have a good week.
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Well played, Ira. Those first two selections would have been a challenge as well, I reckon.
	11:56pm Kat in Chicago: Also, Snickers Mantra is my new band, thank you @bang
	11:57pm JT: Night night and thanks, Ira.
	11:57pm Ira: Thanks for listening, everybody. Merry Christmas. Stay out of trouble!
	11:58pm Lori from Eau Claire: Grazie and goodnight!
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Ira, and let nothing y'all dismay.
	12:00am Matt Fiveash: Nice one Ira! Thanks for you
	12:01am Mr. Pumpy: awesome!
	12:28am McGroovey: At 11:55 the cat came up beside me and pissed on a stack of records. One of them was Yo La Tengo. She can't read, as far as I know, so it's not a commentary. Most were in plastic, but the cover of the Bongos Numbers With Wings EP is done for. I have another. The Oh Sees sustained a minor droplet hit. Cats

	9:55pm Uncle Michael: Ross Bagdasarian couldn't live on his "Rear Window" residuals.
	9:55pm BH: that Chipmunks In Crowd track made me think of a Harry Harrison/In Sound/US Army/Chipmunks crossover track
	9:55pm JT: Westway munking
	9:55pm Dr. Fauci: Covid Trick are my favorite band...
	9:56pm JB from NP: Wow, Chipmunks again? Chip Hop?
	9:56pm Ira: Uncle Michael, how I would love to hear the isolated track of Ross Bagdasarian's apartment in Rear Window!
	9:57pm Uncle Michael: There might have been rodents.
	9:57pm JT: No matter what happens, the bass.
	9:59pm brenda: I'm going to have the chipmunk version of "long and winding road" played at my funeral...
	9:59pm Ira: Gonna send this one out to birthday boy Rick Nielsen!
	10:00pm slugluv1313: good evening, Ira and Skeletons and Everyone! oh good grief! i have this LP somewhere -- Chipmunks A-Go-Go? think i found it in a thrift shop in the 80s . . . and yeah, i still have all the old Chipmunks LPs from when i was a little kid . . . years later, it got to be this tradition, my Mom playing those Chipmunks records on Christmas morning :)
	10:00pm JT: James Burton
	10:01pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Ira! I can get used to James Burton's guitar as my intro music.
	10:01pm Casey: Hey Ira, have you ever checked out The Collins Kids / Lorrie Collins, Ricky Nelson's girlfriend in the late 50s? Great rockabilly
	10:01pm Uncle Michael: I think the term is "walk up music", slugger.
	10:02pm Ira: Casey, got to see the Collins Kids at the Ponderosa Stomp with Deke Dickerson's band. Fantastic!
	10:03pm Gaylord Fields: @UM: If I were really a slugger, my "walk-up" song would be "Silent Knight" by Son of Pete.
	10:03pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: I am so ready to do The Freddie!
	10:03pm leshwatt: Like coolsville, man
	10:03pm Casey: Wow I'm insanely jealous. Hop, Skip and a Jump, that Larry Collins could really play
	10:04pm Uncle Michael: Ira, that's about as cool as having been in the studio audience for Larry Collins throwing down with Merle Travis.
	10:05pm Uncle Michael: Deke must have been in hog heaven.
	10:05pm bobby jay: your always welcome to my garden party
	10:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, Ira and Iradite listeners.
	10:08pm Ira: Casey, The Ponderosa Stomp, always the greatest. When they had two stages, you'd be insanely jealous of the people who were wherever you weren't, even though your mind was exploding with what you were seeing.
	10:10pm yip: i know that song its silent does john richman play on it?
	10:10pm Rick G: Wayne Horvitz-used to play all the time in Seattle and I never took the chance to see him. Regrets, I’ve had a few!
	10:11pm JT: Max Ernst walks up to a door, is denied entry, must figure out what to do next
	10:11pm Ira: Rick G., I'll say this for 2020--there are a lot less great shows happening that we're missing.
	10:11pm Uncle Michael: @Gaylord: "atsa some joke, boss"
	10:11pm listener 126464: Hello Ira, everyone.
	10:12pm Casey: Was that in New Orleans or Memphis? Sounds like a great time
	10:13pm Uncle Michael: I was only holding tickets for one show when lockdown happened. Squeeze.
	10:15pm Ira: Collins Kids were New Orleans, Casey.
	10:17pm ruby/manchester: silent knight...A knight in the snow...with an icicle hanging' from his face...A very snowy capped layout o the 45...brilliant
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: OK, I'm banishing myself. Night all...night Ira.
	10:19pm TDK60: G'night UM.
	10:20pm N'Lo: BaltiMORE! Listening from, and thank you!
	10:20pm KWilde: See you Friday UM
	10:22pm Michael Shore: @IraK other jazz bassoonists (tho none current): James Jackson of the Arkestra...Illinois Jacquet (great "Round Midnight" on bassoon)...Frankie Trumbauer (on "Apple Blossoms" with Joe Venuti)
	10:23pm judy from croton: Just loved seeing your mom Friday night; I am a staunch non-crier. Not anymore
	10:26pm Ira: I stand corrected, Michael Shore, probably not for the last time tonight.
	10:27pm Ira: Judy from Croton, it is always the highlight of our year to rock w/my mom.
	10:27pm Dusty: Is Monkey 101 the same track we could sorta see spinning away from the Hanukkah show? I actually took a photo of my tv to try and figure out the tune.
	10:27pm JT: I will get your water boiling to cook your goose. Swipe right.
	10:27pm yodel: Ira...how could you not play...Yorgi Yorgesson...yingle bells or at least...I must go nuts at Christmas...
	10:28pm Libby’s mom: N’Lo - also from BaltiMo! Ira and Georgia (and James) thanks for the great 9th night show
	10:29pm Ira: Yes it is, Dusty!
	10:32pm Mike W: true sounds of holidays
	10:34pm Aitch: A bit of vintage oz
	10:36pm McGroovey: Hindu Gods of Love is my new favorite song. I love the riff.
	10:38pm glennfromglendale: Thank god this show was able to pull me away from the two day West Wing hole I was in.
	10:38pm Gaylord Fields: Joey Heatherton certainly has The Love Spirit this Christmas season.
	10:38pm Dusty: Joey H beats West Wing, hands down.
	10:41pm tony: lance rentzel...
	10:43pm tony: joey never recovered... A future song title...
	10:44pm Josh G: Good evening everyone, This is a perfect Bananagrams postgame wind down. Thanks, Ira.
	10:45pm Mr. Pumpy: I was hangin' with Carl Stone...and suddenly I'm kicking it with Steve Miller. Nicely executed, Ira!
	10:46pm JT: Arista era Kinks too
	10:49pm ?: Judy from Croton..Do I know you?
	10:51pm Georgia: @judy it’s the riddler!
	10:52pm Mr. Pumpy: Suzy Chreemcheese, what's go into you?
	10:54pm glennfromglendale: I’m actually currently wearing my Arkestra shirt I snagged at the free Union Pool show last year
	10:54pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Ira, Georgia, skeleton, TOPT, Gaylord, McGroove, 126464, HP Ken, all. It's going to be a great last hour+ of this show, kinehora!
	10:56pm TDK60: I think I was there, glennfromglendale. Seems so long ago. '19? -mists of tyme.
	10:58pm glennfromglendale: That show is like a strange dream in my memory. I was feeling out of it and off that day but wouldn’t miss that for the world. Pretty sure every WFMU Dj was there
	11:00pm god like: had a band back in the 80s called...Sunny Davis Ra...we did wild versions of...Mr bojangles.....the candy man...and ended with I've gotta be me..they use to throw candy corn at us...are drummer got hit in the eye...
	11:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hiya, Jack. Plenty of snow left up here. Lots of snow remaining in Hoboken?
	11:06pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Ken -- just enough snow to muck up street parking and to recreate my favorite failed Garrison Keillor series, Slushy Corners.
	11:09pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, if I mention that I'm in the process of arranging a possible interview with Tony Hatch, does that clarify at all?
	11:11pm god like: my favorite things could easily sidetrack into a Christmas collection...others as well...be careful...that black metal you play could be hark the herald...
	11:12pm Ira: Gaylord (because I don't think Pseu or Michael is listening), you were the first person I thought of, and then I--as is so frequently the case--questioned myself.
	11:14pm Chop Scott: I'm a happy listener, thanks Ira & cheers all!
	11:17pm Kat in Chicago: That new Firesign Theatre release was compiled/produced by Taylor Jessen aka Ironybread who has a show on the Sheena's stream. The cover art is more than a little reminiscent of Pet Sounds.
	11:17pm titi: Gaylord...always finding an opening of restriction...always allowing the passage to come forth...your the portal of pop......the Hatching of pop eggs...
	11:18pm Ira: @titi: I'm sure this is nothing but a coincidence, but that was almost word for word how the late Aldo Jones used to introduce Ben Vaughn at Combo shows.
	11:20pm Gaylord Fields: @titi: I'm a fan of Beat poetry, and what you wrote captures the form beautifully (and is very kind of you to versify).
	11:25pm egould310: Gotta finish this report; then Christmas vacation. Thanks for the tunes Ira. Helps alot.
	11:27pm TDK60: Thanks for the raga. The morrow approaches; night.
	11:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: The dearly departed Aldo Jones and I were born on the exact same day. He was a lovely fella, and the world is a diminished place without him.
	11:27pm Threemoons: Loving this set. Tired.
	11:27pm bradd in spokane: No!!!!!! What happened to Ustad?
	11:28pm Ira: Happy to help, egould310. I always found the incomplete to be a useful tool during my studies. Then again, it took me something like 20 years to get my diploma, so perhaps my life lesson is not the one to follow.
	11:28pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:29pm Ira: Gaylord, I couldn't agree more.
	11:31pm Ira: @bradd: I can't think of a comment I'd rather receive than someone disappointed that a song was only 18 minutes long.
	11:31pm bradd in spokane: Ira, you're welcome! I'm loving this show, by the way.
	11:35pm Kat in Chicago: Nathan Salsburg goes into the bandcamp wishlist.
	11:35pm titi: Ira...is Ben Vaughn...the guy from Man from Uncle?
	11:35pm Kat in Chicago: Is this one 18 minutes long? Because I'm okay with that.
	11:36pm jonah: i just took an incomplete for a course right before going on leave to avoid online classes, not sure when i actually plan on completing it. but I'm digging the set big time!
	11:38pm Ira: @Kat: I was just thinking something similar, that sadly this one's a mere 10 minutes long. @titi: I think you're confusing Ben Vaughn with Vaughn Meader.
	11:38pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm enthralled. Nathan Salsburg is laying it down! I feel my wallet opening...
	11:38pm rocco: had a great sex...thanks for the 18 minutes...
	11:38pm Ira: Thanks for sharing, rocco!
	11:40pm Mr. Pumpy: rocco...it's only 10 mins. Don't go chasing waterfalls!
	11:41pm Mr. Pumpy: The vinyl is on the way. Holidays 2020, Covid, USPS...I'll have it in June.
	11:42pm Charkrem: that was exquisite.... Happy Holidays, Ira!!
	11:43pm Ira: Mr. Pumpy, here's to the best National Egg Day (June 3) ever.
	11:46pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm with ya, Ira! How do you like 'em?
	11:48pm McGroovey: Dang. I was loading the dishwasher and brushing my teeth and missed the left song/right song thing. One left song/right song thing I remember hearing a long time ago was the Flipper Brainwash 7" in one channel, Fripp or Fripp & Eno ambience in the other. This was on WRPI in the eighties when that Flipper 7" had just come out.
	11:49pm Ira: Mr. Pumpy: deviled.
	11:49pm Kat in Chicago: Dura went into the wishlist too.
	11:49pm Mr. Pumpy: McGroove3y...imma try that! Sounds like a good mix.
	11:50pm Mr. Pumpy: @Kat, same here. Dura is like a subdued tremolo of the gods.
	11:51pm Kat in Chicago: sounds like we have similarly tuned ears, Mr. Pumpy :)
	11:53pm Kat in Chicago: I played the same Ana Roxanne track on my show on Monday. That one was fun to back-announce. "Uh, three dashes?"
	11:53pm Ira: There's a reason I saved it for the set I don't back announce, Kat.
	11:54pm bang: those last 3-4 songs was like a snickers mantra...could not differentiate the nougat...caramel...or peanuts...Zen Candy
	11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. Have a good week.
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Well played, Ira. Those first two selections would have been a challenge as well, I reckon.
	11:56pm Kat in Chicago: Also, Snickers Mantra is my new band, thank you @bang
	11:57pm JT: Night night and thanks, Ira.
	11:57pm Ira: Thanks for listening, everybody. Merry Christmas. Stay out of trouble!
	11:58pm Lori from Eau Claire: Grazie and goodnight!
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Ira, and let nothing y'all dismay.
	12:00am Matt Fiveash: Nice one Ira! Thanks for you
	12:01am Mr. Pumpy: awesome!
	12:28am McGroovey: At 11:55 the cat came up beside me and pissed on a stack of records. One of them was Yo La Tengo. She can't read, as far as I know, so it's not a commentary. Most were in plastic, but the cover of the Bongos Numbers With Wings EP is done for. I have another. The Oh Sees sustained a minor droplet hit. Cats
