With the endless, endless snows here in BK, NYC, Kate, unable to go running, has just been having two-hour Mona dance parties in your archives. It's a pretty intense intensification of the already intense WFMUiness of the (tiny) apartment, when she's dancing to you at one end of it and I'm listening to literally whatever the current show is at the other! tl'dr: Thank you! Tom Tom Club!
	♥ 12:21am Roberto: eye hart Tina W

	♥ 12:32am HyperDose: I hope there's a broom in that kitchen
	12:36am BH: I think the music has caused the cat sleeping on the bed to wake up (it's either that, or she was gonna wake up after 2 hours while the lights are still on)
	12:37am Andres: I’m going to keep listening but putting away the keyboard. Take care, all! Mona, your show is a gift each and every week from the very first moment you arrived here. It is truly a great pleasure to hear you do your thing. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

	1:16am JayD: Are you looking into my adolescence?
	♥ 1:17am Scott67: Furrrsss!!!
	1:18am Toutevoix: “In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!” Monsieur Woody Allen pour vous !
	♥ 1:19am mariano: Ooh, my favorite Echo album!
	♥ 1:29am chaos_in_la_la: witch eye this eye
	🥀 ♥ 1:31am Handy Haversack: Damn, eighty-one was a pretty good year for music! Some bad things happened, too. But a ton of that can just be heaped on Reagan and Thatcher.
	🥀 ♥ 1:35am Handy Haversack: It's like if the Tom Baker Dr. Who art team designed an album cover. Human League is so great.
	♥ 1:38am Scott67: Think it was their take on a Vogue magazine cover.
	♥ 1:38am Aitch: Yikes, sounds like a high-school dance from '82, but in a good way
	1:42am Toutevoix: ILS JOUAIENT DU PIANO DEBOUT in the 80's ... Mona going deeper and deeper in the spiral of time and loops take me there
	1:43am Toutevoix: morning of a foggy new day wfmu radio nostalgie ahhh SOUVENIR encore et encore
	♥ 1:45am mariano: Toutevoix (@1:18): I really think that in my case, I'd have gotten much more out of college if I'd gone when I was between 30 and 40. Handy: A while back I was watching some early SNL episodes, and in the ones from 1980, the shock of the idea that Reagan could win was as great as the shock of the idea that Trump could win in 2016. Shows how far we've fallen. Aitch: Yeah, some of this stuff would've been played at my junior-high dances (Tom Tom Club, Blondie, Rick James), but it also would've been mixed in with some not-so-cool stuff. Mona, go back in time and DJ my junior-high dances please!
	1:46am NikiA: I'm so tired and have a splitting headache and YET this whole set has me dancing
	♥ 1:48am Roberto: Yes, we often forget, 40 years later, how ridiculous the thought of a Reagan presidency was at the time. Of course, history has proven us right.
	1:49am malĥerbo (nl): What a nice show again to wake up on ...
	♥ 1:49am mariano: Hey there, NikiA!
	🥀 ♥ 1:49am Handy Haversack: NikiA, that's because you rock!
	♥ 1:50am chaos_in_la_la: that actually hurt
	1:50am Toutevoix: Me too.....wasted years searching for myself at university studying studying neverending hoping for betterdays and inventing something someday... ended teaching!!! Au secours!!!! maybe time was slower then, enjoyed it anyway flowers of youthhhhhh you can waste cause you have a lot of them and you think it will never end
	♥ 1:51am Roberto: I suppose the main difference between Ronnie and Donnie was that Ronnie was able to appear human when necessary, and could also take directions from his handlers.
	1:53am Toutevoix: agreed Mariano how far we have ended globalized crazyness....thanks Amazon & facebook thank you Maggie the cunt ... but here we are 81 and Tchernobyl didn't happened yet
	1:54am NikiA: hi Mariano, hi Handy, you lovely, sweet people.
	🥀 ♥ 1:56am Handy Haversack: We're starting to fade out, but happy birthday, Mona! Kate will definitely be inside-dancing to this show soon soon soon! Good night, you wonderful people.
	1:56am Toutevoix: Let's jump back 1981 kind of summer of love this morning birthdaypartying in souvenirs of childhoooooood full of hope for betterdays to come thru

	2:07am NikiA: @Hyper yesterday during Sheila's set, I was going to wish everyone happy 420 as usual, but she was literally weeping with emotion on air over Mercedes Sosa so I felt it was an inopportune moment 😂
	♥ 2:09am Roberto: I never noticed before how similar Siouxsie Sioux and Geddy Lee's vocal register is.
	2:09am Stillwell Coney Islander: Hello

	♥ 2:10am mariano: 'Night, Handy and K8!
	♥ 2:10am HyperDose: Your 4:20 reminders are part of the charm of the ACCU!

	2:13am NikiA: 😂😂 Well Hyper, you are charming, and I am charmed 😂
	♥ 2:16am Roberto: That Go-Go's gif is from '84 but I'll allow it.
	2:17am BH: I've mentioned this before, but the colors still pop in the "Head Over Heels" video. Which was one of two unrelated "Head Over Heels" songs from the time
	♥ 2:18am Roberto: I was shocked to learn years later that someone from my high school class had at one time been married to Kathy Valentine (rockin' the yellow jacket in that gif).

With the endless, endless snows here in BK, NYC, Kate, unable to go running, has just been having two-hour Mona dance parties in your archives. It's a pretty intense intensification of the already intense WFMUiness of the (tiny) apartment, when she's dancing to you at one end of it and I'm listening to literally whatever the current show is at the other! tl'dr: Thank you! Tom Tom Club!
	♥ 12:21am Roberto: eye hart Tina W

	12:36am BH: I think the music has caused the cat sleeping on the bed to wake up (it's either that, or she was gonna wake up after 2 hours while the lights are still on)
	12:37am Andres: I’m going to keep listening but putting away the keyboard. Take care, all! Mona, your show is a gift each and every week from the very first moment you arrived here. It is truly a great pleasure to hear you do your thing. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

	1:16am JayD: Are you looking into my adolescence?
	♥ 1:17am Scott67: Furrrsss!!!
	1:18am Toutevoix: “In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!” Monsieur Woody Allen pour vous !
	♥ 1:19am mariano: Ooh, my favorite Echo album!
	♥ 1:29am chaos_in_la_la: witch eye this eye
	🥀 ♥ 1:31am Handy Haversack: Damn, eighty-one was a pretty good year for music! Some bad things happened, too. But a ton of that can just be heaped on Reagan and Thatcher.
	🥀 ♥ 1:35am Handy Haversack: It's like if the Tom Baker Dr. Who art team designed an album cover. Human League is so great.
	♥ 1:38am Scott67: Think it was their take on a Vogue magazine cover.
	♥ 1:38am Aitch: Yikes, sounds like a high-school dance from '82, but in a good way
	1:42am Toutevoix: ILS JOUAIENT DU PIANO DEBOUT in the 80's ... Mona going deeper and deeper in the spiral of time and loops take me there
	1:43am Toutevoix: morning of a foggy new day wfmu radio nostalgie ahhh SOUVENIR encore et encore
	♥ 1:45am mariano: Toutevoix (@1:18): I really think that in my case, I'd have gotten much more out of college if I'd gone when I was between 30 and 40. Handy: A while back I was watching some early SNL episodes, and in the ones from 1980, the shock of the idea that Reagan could win was as great as the shock of the idea that Trump could win in 2016. Shows how far we've fallen. Aitch: Yeah, some of this stuff would've been played at my junior-high dances (Tom Tom Club, Blondie, Rick James), but it also would've been mixed in with some not-so-cool stuff. Mona, go back in time and DJ my junior-high dances please!
	1:46am NikiA: I'm so tired and have a splitting headache and YET this whole set has me dancing
	♥ 1:48am Roberto: Yes, we often forget, 40 years later, how ridiculous the thought of a Reagan presidency was at the time. Of course, history has proven us right.
	1:49am malĥerbo (nl): What a nice show again to wake up on ...
	♥ 1:49am mariano: Hey there, NikiA!

Au secours!!!! maybe time was slower then, enjoyed it anyway flowers of youthhhhhh you can waste cause you have a lot of them and you think it will never end
	♥ 1:51am Roberto: I suppose the main difference between Ronnie and Donnie was that Ronnie was able to appear human when necessary, and could also take directions from his handlers.
	1:53am Toutevoix: agreed Mariano how far we have ended globalized crazyness....thanks Amazon & facebook thank you Maggie the cunt ... but here we are 81 and Tchernobyl didn't happened yet
	1:54am NikiA: hi Mariano, hi Handy, you lovely, sweet people.

	♥ 2:18am Roberto: I was shocked to learn years later that someone from my high school class had at one time been married to Kathy Valentine (rockin' the yellow jacket in that gif).
