WFMU: Wreck Your Own Adventure with Wendy del Formaggio: Playlist from August 14, 2023

Listener comments!
	♥ 2:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ahoy, Wrecking Crew! What a beautiful day it here at the Bellows Falls Yacht Club. Please find a chaise longue that suits you. A cabin boy will be right over.
	♥ 2:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:45 * it IS here. Whoops
	3:00pm Robm: afternoon fellow wreckers
	♥ 3:01pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Djed" by "Tortoise" Ok, you are starting with one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite artists, you have my attention!
	🧀 ♥ 3:02pm David (in London): Evening Wendy and all Adventurers here gathered: Robm, Count Charles!
	♥ 3:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Robm, Charles in Chicago, and David (in London). Welcome!
	♥ 3:03pm TDK60: Hello DJ Wendy.
	🧀 ♥ 3:03pm egould: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" This is where Spielberg got the ‘Close Encounters’ close encounter.
	♥ 3:03pm sydnius: playing a tritone was a punishable offense
	🧀 ♥ 3:03pm doctorjazz: Like these Bell openings! Hi Wendy, Yacht Club Inhabitants!
	3:03pm Robm: hi DIL and wendy
	🧀 ♥ 3:03pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Wendy, Wrecking Crew. Let's black out.
	♥ 3:03pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" I used to have this LP. Unfortunately, using pure sine waves like this is the worst way to present intervals, because part of what makes intervallic harmony work is the overlap of OVERTONES. And sine waves ("pure tones") are the only sound with NO OVERTONES. Oops!
	♥ 3:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello TDK60, egould, sydnius, doctorjazz, and Handy. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:04pm egould: Hi Wendy! Hello audiophiles. May your audios be philled.
	3:05pm ike-0: Peace and thanks for the maitai chingy
	♥ 3:06pm sydnius: it’s perfectly imperfect
	♥ 3:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello ike-0. We aim to please here at the BFYacht Club.
	♥ 3:07pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @3:03 e.g. if you play a tritone, or other dissonant interval, with sine waves it sounds nowhere near as rough as if you do it with violins, where the higher harmonics will clash
	🧀 ♥ 3:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:03 They get more interesting as they go on (the Bell Sound bits)
	🧀 ♥ 3:07pm Handy Haversack: On day, what, three? of the blackout, our friend Bill called from his LES apartment, bored, asking if he could come over just for something to do. I said sure, and he walked over the Wburg Bridge. He hit the Brooklyn side and started walking north, and as he did the power started coming back on, and it was rolling about a block ahead of him as he walked, so he came north to the sound of cheering! We then went to an air-conditioned bar! Eating ice cream and drinking beer by moon shadow that first night when it was still magical and everyone was relieved it wasn't terrorism was a great time. I guess this means it's been twenty years since I walked east across the Queensboro Bridge. Supposedly they plan on turning that civic emergency lane into a pedestrian lane at some point. We marched west across it and blocked traffic during the summer of 2020.
	3:08pm Listener Robert: And yet the chords using the later scales don't sound any BETTER to me than the Pythagorean.
	🧀 ♥ 3:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" I just feel like this guy spells "Hindu" with two o's.
	♥ 3:09pm sydnius: the call of the wild Bryce
	3:09pm ike-0: I need the for dummies version of this lol
	♥ 3:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Listener Robert. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:10pm egould: Well that was certainly very informative.
	3:10pm ike-0: Ah - I was told there would be no math
	♥ 3:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ike-0 @3:09 Yeah, I sometimes get lost in these, too. I just listen and hope something will stick in my brain.
	3:11pm Listener Robert: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @3:10 Thanks.
	♥ 3:11pm sydnius: ↳ ike-0 @3:10 remember wwhwwwh and you’re good
	♥ 3:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:09 no it's hindew. closely related to the honeydew.
	🧀 ♥ 3:11pm David (in London): ↳ ike-0 @3:10 Open your book of log tables at page eight, please.
	🧀 ♥ 3:12pm Listener Gregory: Sorry I'm checking in late. I was busy tempering my scale, but I botched it. I think I had the heat on too low, and it kind of congealed before getting tempered.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: hi Wendy, wrecking crew
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: my scales have an ill temper.
	3:13pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" In one of the pavilions at the 1964-5 World's Fair they had a Chinese piano out there for anyone to play, so my parents insisted I do so. It was weird.
	♥ 3:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, coel, Listener Gregalah. Welcome!
	3:16pm bradford: Hello Wendy & Crew!
	3:17pm Robm: ↳ Song: "How Soon Is Now?" by "The Smiths" like the group even if morrisey is a complete wanker asshole
	♥ 3:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello bradford. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:20pm egould: ↳ Song: "How Soon Is Now?" by "The Smiths" Need more Johnny Marr guitar in my life.
	🧀 ♥ 3:20pm Brian in UK: What's a Hindu? Lays eggs.
	3:20pm Robm: ↳ egould @3:20 same here but less morrissey
	🧀 ♥ 3:20pm Handy Haversack: Walked home from work near Columbus Circle. Since we had a landline, we were once again the nerve center for information, just like on September 11. I took some turns directing traffic as I walked across town to the Queensboro and joined the parade in the civic emergency outer lane. K8 says she'd never seen moon shadow in the city before that night of free beer and ice cream. The bodega where we got that beer and ice cream is now a fancy hipster provisions sandwich shop. The bar we went to is now a super-fancy high-end Taiwanese chicken restaurant. The studio where my friend lived on the LES is now a fancy bakery. Plus ça change, I guess.
	🧀 ♥ 3:21pm egould: ↳ Brian in UK @3:20 You crack me up!
	♥ 3:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: If you watch Woody Allen and Roman Polanski movies, you have no leg to stand on while making fun of Morrissey.
	♥ 3:21pm northguineahills: still on hold (been calling back and forth for a prescription since noon)
	3:23pm Robm: ↳ egould @3:21 was not meant to be funny
	♥ 3:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello ngh! Welcome.
	🧀 ♥ 3:24pm egould: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @3:21 I’m about to crack open Woody Allen’s ‘Horse Feathers’. But I’m going to check in my storage space and see what other “books I’ve bought but not read yet” collection.
	3:24pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @3:21 ugh NGH phone hell
	🧀 ♥ 3:25pm doctorjazz: Happy Birthday Wendy's mom!
	3:26pm Robm: happy happy birthday to your mom wendy
	♥ 3:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ egould @3:24 Wait, isn't that a Marx Bros. movie? I feel so misinformed!
	🧀 ♥ 3:26pm egould: ↳ egould @3:24 ‘Without Feathers’ that is. Jeez it’s sitting on my fucking coffee table right in front of my stupid face.
	🧀 ♥ 3:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Cathy's Clown" by "The Everly Brothers" I contend that no one is called a clown in this sense except in pop songs. I don't even get what the metaphor is.
	🧀 ♥ 3:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @3:28 Similarly, I don't think anyone is called a fool in real life the way they are in pop songs ("I was your fool"), but at least that one makes some sense.
	♥ 3:30pm tom tom the pipers son: hello...
	🧀 ♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: I don't care for Morrissey and never have. So I don't have much of a dog in the fight except for finding him even more distasteful than ever. But it's pretty much impossible to expunge the entire script of Love and Death from my mind. That's just not going anywhere.
	🧀 ♥ 3:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Hots on for Nowhere" by "Led Zeppelin" Odd rhythms from Zep, they were great at that!
	♥ 3:32pm northguineahills: i've been trying to get this medication for my skin for months, it was supposed to be delivered two weeks ago, but miscommunications b/tn my dermatologist, PCP, insurance, and specialty pharmacy, and the pharmaceutical company means they sent it over the weekend. I got it this morning, and it's supposed to be refrigerated, and it was room-temp. So, now, i've been trying to get a replacement. Thankfully, I only need to take the injection once every three months. (TBH, after the last two years, I'll take psoriasis as my only malady of concern). Got to call back in 10 mins to double check everything...
	♥ 3:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello tom tom. Welcome!
	3:35pm Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:30 handy i know where you are coming from, i can appreciate the smiths, eve if i cant stand morrisey
	🧀 ♥ 3:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Overstocked Warehouse: Squirting Carnation" by "B... Getting revenge on a mean newsagent is a marketing angle that seems drastically underused.
	🧀 ♥ 3:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Shopping at the Livingston Mall" by "... Wow! The Livingston Mall was the hangout of my high school in NJ. I didn't hang out there, of course, because I didn't have access to a car. But I probably did buy some pants or a book there.
	♥ 3:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 satanism produces odd rhythms. ;)
	♥ 3:41pm Midge: Hello WdF and everyone! I'm confused, other than being a prick, is Morrissey a sex pest too?
	♥ 3:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @3:39 LG, my parents got married in Livingston. Not at the mall, although that woulda totally won the "We're from NJ" prize. They, instead, got married at Albert's Chateau. Or so they tell me. I wasn't actually there.
	♥ 3:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Midge! I hope not.
	♥ 3:46pm tom tom the pipers son: @ngh: you're giving yourself an injection? ouch... don't the md's usually administer. had a recent bout w/ psoriasis that i got over w/ an ointment.
	🧀 ♥ 3:46pm Bas NL: Hi Wendy & wrecking crew!
	🧀 ♥ 3:49pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: @DJ Wendy, Yoo nice!!!
	♥ 3:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bas! Ace! Meeee nice!
	🧀 ♥ 3:49pm luka: hey folks
	♥ 3:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @3:30 i use both thiose terms quite regularly, especially "fool" - training myself away from other potentially offensive insults.
	♥ 3:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello luka. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All The Things You Are" by "The Modern Jazz Quartet" My first jazz obsession, MJQ was my gateway.
	♥ 3:51pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:46 i opted to do it myself. less middlemen to deal w/. And I don't have to make an appointment to see a nurse.
	♥ 3:52pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:50 Pity the fool!
	🧀 ♥ 3:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @3:51 Not that unusual for folks using long term injectable meds to learn to do it themselves, more convenient.
	🧀 ♥ 3:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blues at Midnight (mono)" by "Sun Ra and His Arke... The range of musics Sun Ra's Arkestras played is amazing! (bebop anyone)
	🧀 ♥ 3:55pm Handy Haversack: Ack, time to split. Hope fully will catch up with you all from the other side of the river.
	♥ 3:56pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ doctorjazz @3:54 be the bop you want to see in the world
	♥ 3:57pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:53 i've drawn my own blood before, how hard can it be? (and I only need to administer it once every 84 days)
	🧀 ♥ 3:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Wendy and outages. A storm blew through here Saturday evening with lots of lightning. The power stayed on just fine through the night. Yesterday morning umder bright, sunny skies and no wind, the power went out for two hours.
	♥ 3:57pm northguineahills: ok, now it's to be delivered, Thursday...
	♥ 3:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:55 later Handy!
	♥ 3:58pm northguineahills: ok, i can finally listen...
	🧀 ♥ 3:58pm anne: oi, hello again, letter in mail to you today, Wendy! long time i no be around.
	♥ 3:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey KenFHP and Anne. Welcome!
	♥ 3:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ anne @3:58 A letter! That's even better than a video. Oh... have we got a video?
	♥ 4:01pm late and insignificant opinion # 22,993∅: i don't know much about Morressey's being a prick, but his fantasic ego and self-centeredness cause him to ruin the majority of smiths material. that said, they were an excellent band and he was or is an excellent lyricist. i find his singing/moaning particularly more tolerable on the meat is murder album, for whatever reason. maybe the musical compositions lean away from the lightness of much of their other songs. (how soon is now being one obvious exception)
	♥ 4:02pm late and insignificant opinion # 22,993∅: ↳ Charles in Chicago @3:52 it's a good word! i also use the word "silly", and sometimes people look at me like i'm silly for using it!
	♥ 4:02pm northguineahills: yes!! Kermie!
	♥ 4:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello late and insignificant opinion (...). Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 4:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:50 Excellent! However, I wonder if you use them in this romantic sense. That is, would you call the unrequited lover a clown? He's not amusing!
	4:04pm ike-0: Kermit and fozzie - Bert and Ernie - oh hey
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @4:03 hmmm, maybe not. my guess is i'm seriously lacking in the classic/classy culture department.
	4:06pm ike-0: I feel like Richard Dreyfuss with the mashed potatoes....this means something....
	♥ 4:06pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Listener Gregory @4:03 Everybody plays the fool, It may be factual, it may be cruel
	♥ 4:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:06 dig this!
	♥ 4:07pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Movin' Right Along" by "Kermit the Frog & Fozzie ... am i trippin, or is this skippin?
	4:08pm ike-0: @Asheville Jon I'm digging the extended remix
	♥ 4:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: Asheville Jon: Yes! (I mean, the two aren't mutually-exclusive, right?)
	♥ 4:11pm Ridonkulous: I was just vacuuming and thought I'd tune in.
	♥ 4:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ridonkulous, you're just in time!
	🧀 ♥ 4:15pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:06 Word!
	♥ 4:17pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" More Tortoise! OK!
	♥ 4:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" i obviously like this album....
	♥ 4:21pm tom tom the pipers son: this seems to have changed its mind at a point
	♥ 4:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @4:19 This album helped me get my bachelor's degree.
	♥ 4:22pm Ridonkulous: "Ry Cooder" could be a vacuum cleaner brand, somehow.
	🧀 ♥ 4:23pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @4:22 B.S. in reptile studies?
	♥ 4:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:22 haha, totally. Ry Cooder could be many things. I mean, in addition to the actual person.
	♥ 4:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @4:23 No! But I don't blame you for guessing that. BA in Sociology. Same thing, really.
	♥ 4:23pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:22 "Cooder" has the same vowel pattern as "Hoover"
	♥ 4:23pm Ridonkulous: A sandwixch, too, of course
	🧀 ♥ 4:24pm egould: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" Just watched ‘Last Man Standing’ last week. Ry Cooder did the soundtrack. Solid film.
	🧀 ♥ 4:24pm David (in London): Sort your gluten free bread with this new rye coder. I'll see myself out.
	♥ 4:25pm tom tom the pipers son: hoover was named after herbert hoover who people thought was vacuous
	🧀 ♥ 4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" Big fan of the REAL Ry Cooder! Haven't been up on Tortoise, know of them but never listened much, do like this track a whole lot!
	4:25pm Max D: Hi Wendy & Wreckers of Adventure!
	♥ 4:25pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ David (in London) @4:24 centralstreetfarmhouse.com...
	♥ 4:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Max D. Welcome!
	♥ 4:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @4:24 Oh David, how COULD you! rye has plenty of gluten!
	♥ 4:26pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 Tortoise have an awesome discography, "Standards" might be my favorite (that opening guitar part!) but they are all good
	4:26pm Max D: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:25 😁😂
	4:27pm Lala: Why why why? Indeed. Now we know.
	♥ 4:27pm coelacanth∅: (+ although i pronounced it "rye" for 40-50 years, at some point i started hearing his name pronounced "Ree".)
	♥ 4:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: Lala! <3 Hello, OPOM.
	♥ 4:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @4:24 or did you mean " Rye Decoder"...
	🧀 ♥ 4:30pm WR: First minute I am not on a customer call since 11AM and I hear Lonnie Holley, Very reassuring. Thank you.
	🧀 ♥ 4:30pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:28 Break encrypted international messages about bread with this new rye decoder. I'll come back in so that I can then see myself out again.
	4:32pm Max D: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:27 Hmm, I have never heard it pronounced like that.
	🧀 ♥ 4:32pm egould: Is there any way to get odds on whether it’ll be a “keep” or a “get rid of”?
	♥ 4:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @4:30 wait i'm going in front of you - in case they throw things
	🧀 ♥ 4:34pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:32 Thanks Coela, you're a pal.
	4:34pm Fred and Alan: Hi Wendy. Thanks for everything love from Fred and Alan
	🧀 ♥ 4:34pm egould: Hoboken? Get rid of it!
	🧀 ♥ 4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @4:30 Hey, WR, how was the Monty Hall movie last night?
	4:35pm Lala: Opinions are like assholes but that doesn't mean you have to be one.
	🧀 ♥ 4:35pm luka: lol
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Max D @4:32 yes, just in the past 2-3 years, via wfmu. ...but then, plenty of names and other words are mispronounced by fmu show hosts!
	♥ 4:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello WR, Fred and Alan. Welcome!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" i kinda like it
	♥ 4:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:36 I reserve the right to mispronounce things. hahahaha. But I try not to.
	4:37pm bradford: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" sounds like a winner to me!
	4:38pm rw: Good afternoon! I'm keeping my mouth shut about any records from the '90s.
	♥ 4:39pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @4:37 I have not managed to find a clip of Mr Cooder pronouncing his own name but I found several interviews and live performances where he's introduced as "RYE" (not "REE") Cooder and he does not correct the pronunciation.
	4:39pm Max D: I'd keep it. Like the bombastic guitars.
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth∅: it reminds me of lizard music crossed with ... something... i like it
	♥ 4:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey rw! Welcome.
	🧀 ♥ 4:39pm egould: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" The singer/lyrics are the weak point. However, it is earnest. It’s obvious that Fugazi and Samiam were influences…. Keep it!
	🧀 ♥ 4:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" Thumbs up, IMHO.
	4:40pm Max D: ↳ egould @4:39 Agreed. Heard a little Polvo, too.
	♥ 4:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" I always thought the track 'ry cooder' was a pun as a cooter is a turtle in the South (there's a cooter fest about 45 miles from here in FL)
	♥ 4:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:39 that's how i try to find out when it matters enough to me. it hasn't mattered enough to me! but also i figure i'll find out eventually one way or another
	♥ 4:41pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ northguineahills @4:40 Tortoise named themselves after John Fahey's record label, so it's possible they just liked Ry and wanted to tribute him
	🧀 ♥ 4:42pm David (in London): A perfect gift for the turtle loving foodie in your life is this new edible rye cooter. Sorry.
	🧀 ♥ 4:42pm doctorjazz: Really, I would think Ry Cooder would be inspiration to many musicians (wish I could play close to the way he does...)
	♥ 4:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:41 yes of course (just most people outside of FL don't know the cooter connection as well)
	♥ 4:44pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ northguineahills @4:43 We don't have cooters in Chicago, we have Chonkosaurus
	🧀 ♥ 4:46pm Handy Haversack: I think my walk was about five miles. Better than 9/11, when I started down by Gramercy Park.
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: i quite enjoyed that blackout. we made a fire in a steel drum in a parking lot right in the middle of town - talking to cops with a bottle of whiskey in my hand, free food from a local business, playing drums and acoustic guitars all night...
	♥ 4:51pm northguineahills: I had a job where I set my own hours. I was just about to work, when the work power went out (i was in bed-stuy). Our neighbors told us to stay inside as they expected rioting like in '79. But, we needed beer, so, we walked to Pratt, and then finally Myrtle Ave trying to find a bodega open w/ beer. We bought as much as we could carry. went back home, and just drank and smoked on the roof all night. It was a fun and hot night...
	🧀 ♥ 4:51pm Handy Haversack: There was no Markowitz cheering on the Queensboro.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: i have other blackout stories but i don't remember them
	🧀 ♥ 4:54pm spodiodi: greetings, Wendy and all!
	🧀 ♥ 4:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 ZING!
	🧀 ♥ 4:55pm Handy Haversack: K8 was on Roosevelt Island, but fortunately not on the tram.
	♥ 4:55pm coelacanth∅: hi spodi!
	♥ 4:56pm tom tom the pipers son: stayed at friends garden in williamsburg until late, the walk home to east williamsburg w/o streetlights was disorienting as the streets were hardly recognizable
	♥ 4:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:54 glad you got that!
	♥ 4:57pm Ridonkulous: Someone (I think Jim Carroll?) wrote about a kid back in the '60s who was playing hooky from school and passing the time before getting home, whacking power poles with a stick as he passed them. As he got to the last one on the block, he whacked it, and all power on the East Coast went out. Already feeling guilty, he ran home crying, "I did it! It was me!" Good story but not as epic as yours.
	♥ 4:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:57 that story's great!
	🧀 ♥ 4:59pm Handy Haversack: K8 actually has a play series set in the NYC blackouts of 1965, 1977, 2003, and 2042 (projected).
	♥ 5:02pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Djed" by "Tortoise" @Wendy - that song title might be "D.J.'ed" but I'm pretty sure it's pronounced like "Jed", it's an pillar-like Egyptian heiroglyphic representing "stability". en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 5:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, spodi!
	♥ 5:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tamboura" by "Kollectiv" like the beginning.... anticipation
	🧀 ♥ 5:05pm David (in London): Spod, Tom: ahoy.
	♥ 5:06pm tom tom the pipers son: hi, david in london
	🧀 ♥ 5:08pm spodiodi: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:06 what's shakin', David (in London)?
	♥ 5:08pm tom tom the pipers son: am liking, reminiscent of can, eary kraftwerk. esp, w/ flute
	5:09pm Santos L Halper: Digging…
	♥ 5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:08 could have gone on for a while longer, kinda ended before it really ended
	♥ 5:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Santos L Halper. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 5:13pm doctorjazz: Time to head home, thanks for the fine music Wendy! Catch y'all later!
	♥ 5:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bon voyage, doctorjazz!
	♥ 5:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Id Ed Was" by "Les Abranis" v groovy stuff
	♥ 5:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Radio Waves" by "Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark" never heard that before, thx
	🧀 ♥ 5:27pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Starless Summer Night" by "Richard Papiercuts" Nice!
	🧀 ♥ 5:30pm fred: ↳ Song: "Starless Summer Night" by "Richard Papiercuts" I loved his show on the station!
	🧀 ♥ 5:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Starless Summer Night" by "Richard Papiercuts" Hoooo, that Richard Papiercuts! We missed a chance to see them in June. Hope there's another soon.
	♥ 5:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello fred! That album is full of WFMU past and current stars. John Allen on guitar and Thomas Storck on drums, in addition to Mr. "Papiercuts."
	♥ 5:40pm Midge: Gotta run now. Thank you WdF
	♥ 5:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bon voyage, Midge!
	♥ 5:41pm prof.fuzz: afternoon y'all
	♥ 5:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, prof.fuzz!
	5:45pm mmzm: hello!

Listener comments!
	♥ 2:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ahoy, Wrecking Crew! What a beautiful day it here at the Bellows Falls Yacht Club. Please find a chaise longue that suits you. A cabin boy will be right over.
	♥ 2:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @2:45 * it IS here. Whoops
	3:00pm Robm: afternoon fellow wreckers
	♥ 3:01pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Djed" by "Tortoise" Ok, you are starting with one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite artists, you have my attention!
	🧀 ♥ 3:02pm David (in London): Evening Wendy and all Adventurers here gathered: Robm, Count Charles!
	♥ 3:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Robm, Charles in Chicago, and David (in London). Welcome!
	♥ 3:03pm TDK60: Hello DJ Wendy.
	🧀 ♥ 3:03pm egould: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" This is where Spielberg got the ‘Close Encounters’ close encounter.
	♥ 3:03pm sydnius: playing a tritone was a punishable offense
	🧀 ♥ 3:03pm doctorjazz: Like these Bell openings! Hi Wendy, Yacht Club Inhabitants!
	3:03pm Robm: hi DIL and wendy
	🧀 ♥ 3:03pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Wendy, Wrecking Crew. Let's black out.
	♥ 3:03pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" I used to have this LP. Unfortunately, using pure sine waves like this is the worst way to present intervals, because part of what makes intervallic harmony work is the overlap of OVERTONES. And sine waves ("pure tones") are the only sound with NO OVERTONES. Oops!
	♥ 3:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello TDK60, egould, sydnius, doctorjazz, and Handy. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:04pm egould: Hi Wendy! Hello audiophiles. May your audios be philled.
	3:05pm ike-0: Peace and thanks for the maitai chingy
	♥ 3:06pm sydnius: it’s perfectly imperfect
	♥ 3:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello ike-0. We aim to please here at the BFYacht Club.
	♥ 3:07pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @3:03 e.g. if you play a tritone, or other dissonant interval, with sine waves it sounds nowhere near as rough as if you do it with violins, where the higher harmonics will clash
	🧀 ♥ 3:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @3:03 They get more interesting as they go on (the Bell Sound bits)
	🧀 ♥ 3:07pm Handy Haversack: On day, what, three? of the blackout, our friend Bill called from his LES apartment, bored, asking if he could come over just for something to do. I said sure, and he walked over the Wburg Bridge. He hit the Brooklyn side and started walking north, and as he did the power started coming back on, and it was rolling about a block ahead of him as he walked, so he came north to the sound of cheering! We then went to an air-conditioned bar! Eating ice cream and drinking beer by moon shadow that first night when it was still magical and everyone was relieved it wasn't terrorism was a great time. I guess this means it's been twenty years since I walked east across the Queensboro Bridge. Supposedly they plan on turning that civic emergency lane into a pedestrian lane at some point. We marched west across it and blocked traffic during the summer of 2020.
	3:08pm Listener Robert: And yet the chords using the later scales don't sound any BETTER to me than the Pythagorean.
	🧀 ♥ 3:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" I just feel like this guy spells "Hindu" with two o's.
	♥ 3:09pm sydnius: the call of the wild Bryce
	3:09pm ike-0: I need the for dummies version of this lol
	♥ 3:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Listener Robert. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:10pm egould: Well that was certainly very informative.
	3:10pm ike-0: Ah - I was told there would be no math
	♥ 3:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ike-0 @3:09 Yeah, I sometimes get lost in these, too. I just listen and hope something will stick in my brain.
	3:11pm Listener Robert: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @3:10 Thanks.
	♥ 3:11pm sydnius: ↳ ike-0 @3:10 remember wwhwwwh and you’re good
	♥ 3:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:09 no it's hindew. closely related to the honeydew.
	🧀 ♥ 3:11pm David (in London): ↳ ike-0 @3:10 Open your book of log tables at page eight, please.
	🧀 ♥ 3:12pm Listener Gregory: Sorry I'm checking in late. I was busy tempering my scale, but I botched it. I think I had the heat on too low, and it kind of congealed before getting tempered.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: hi Wendy, wrecking crew
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: my scales have an ill temper.
	3:13pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Music Scales" by "Bell Telephone Laboratories" In one of the pavilions at the 1964-5 World's Fair they had a Chinese piano out there for anyone to play, so my parents insisted I do so. It was weird.
	♥ 3:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, coel, Listener Gregalah. Welcome!
	3:16pm bradford: Hello Wendy & Crew!
	3:17pm Robm: ↳ Song: "How Soon Is Now?" by "The Smiths" like the group even if morrisey is a complete wanker asshole
	♥ 3:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello bradford. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:20pm egould: ↳ Song: "How Soon Is Now?" by "The Smiths" Need more Johnny Marr guitar in my life.
	🧀 ♥ 3:20pm Brian in UK: What's a Hindu? Lays eggs.
	3:20pm Robm: ↳ egould @3:20 same here but less morrissey
	🧀 ♥ 3:20pm Handy Haversack: Walked home from work near Columbus Circle. Since we had a landline, we were once again the nerve center for information, just like on September 11. I took some turns directing traffic as I walked across town to the Queensboro and joined the parade in the civic emergency outer lane. K8 says she'd never seen moon shadow in the city before that night of free beer and ice cream. The bodega where we got that beer and ice cream is now a fancy hipster provisions sandwich shop. The bar we went to is now a super-fancy high-end Taiwanese chicken restaurant. The studio where my friend lived on the LES is now a fancy bakery. Plus ça change, I guess.
	🧀 ♥ 3:21pm egould: ↳ Brian in UK @3:20 You crack me up!
	♥ 3:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: If you watch Woody Allen and Roman Polanski movies, you have no leg to stand on while making fun of Morrissey.
	♥ 3:21pm northguineahills: still on hold (been calling back and forth for a prescription since noon)
	3:23pm Robm: ↳ egould @3:21 was not meant to be funny
	♥ 3:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello ngh! Welcome.
	🧀 ♥ 3:24pm egould: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @3:21 I’m about to crack open Woody Allen’s ‘Horse Feathers’. But I’m going to check in my storage space and see what other “books I’ve bought but not read yet” collection.
	3:24pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @3:21 ugh NGH phone hell
	🧀 ♥ 3:25pm doctorjazz: Happy Birthday Wendy's mom!
	3:26pm Robm: happy happy birthday to your mom wendy
	♥ 3:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ egould @3:24 Wait, isn't that a Marx Bros. movie? I feel so misinformed!
	🧀 ♥ 3:26pm egould: ↳ egould @3:24 ‘Without Feathers’ that is. Jeez it’s sitting on my fucking coffee table right in front of my stupid face.
	🧀 ♥ 3:28pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Cathy's Clown" by "The Everly Brothers" I contend that no one is called a clown in this sense except in pop songs. I don't even get what the metaphor is.
	🧀 ♥ 3:30pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @3:28 Similarly, I don't think anyone is called a fool in real life the way they are in pop songs ("I was your fool"), but at least that one makes some sense.
	♥ 3:30pm tom tom the pipers son: hello...
	🧀 ♥ 3:30pm Handy Haversack: I don't care for Morrissey and never have. So I don't have much of a dog in the fight except for finding him even more distasteful than ever. But it's pretty much impossible to expunge the entire script of Love and Death from my mind. That's just not going anywhere.
	🧀 ♥ 3:31pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Hots on for Nowhere" by "Led Zeppelin" Odd rhythms from Zep, they were great at that!
	♥ 3:32pm northguineahills: i've been trying to get this medication for my skin for months, it was supposed to be delivered two weeks ago, but miscommunications b/tn my dermatologist, PCP, insurance, and specialty pharmacy, and the pharmaceutical company means they sent it over the weekend. I got it this morning, and it's supposed to be refrigerated, and it was room-temp. So, now, i've been trying to get a replacement. Thankfully, I only need to take the injection once every three months. (TBH, after the last two years, I'll take psoriasis as my only malady of concern). Got to call back in 10 mins to double check everything...
	♥ 3:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello tom tom. Welcome!
	3:35pm Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:30 handy i know where you are coming from, i can appreciate the smiths, eve if i cant stand morrisey
	🧀 ♥ 3:37pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Overstocked Warehouse: Squirting Carnation" by "B... Getting revenge on a mean newsagent is a marketing angle that seems drastically underused.
	🧀 ♥ 3:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Everybody's Shopping at the Livingston Mall" by "... Wow! The Livingston Mall was the hangout of my high school in NJ. I didn't hang out there, of course, because I didn't have access to a car. But I probably did buy some pants or a book there.
	♥ 3:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ doctorjazz @3:31 satanism produces odd rhythms. ;)
	♥ 3:41pm Midge: Hello WdF and everyone! I'm confused, other than being a prick, is Morrissey a sex pest too?
	♥ 3:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @3:39 LG, my parents got married in Livingston. Not at the mall, although that woulda totally won the "We're from NJ" prize. They, instead, got married at Albert's Chateau. Or so they tell me. I wasn't actually there.
	♥ 3:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Midge! I hope not.
	♥ 3:46pm tom tom the pipers son: @ngh: you're giving yourself an injection? ouch... don't the md's usually administer. had a recent bout w/ psoriasis that i got over w/ an ointment.
	🧀 ♥ 3:46pm Bas NL: Hi Wendy & wrecking crew!
	🧀 ♥ 3:49pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: @DJ Wendy, Yoo nice!!!
	♥ 3:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bas! Ace! Meeee nice!
	🧀 ♥ 3:49pm luka: hey folks
	♥ 3:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @3:30 i use both thiose terms quite regularly, especially "fool" - training myself away from other potentially offensive insults.
	♥ 3:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello luka. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 3:51pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "All The Things You Are" by "The Modern Jazz Quartet" My first jazz obsession, MJQ was my gateway.
	♥ 3:51pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:46 i opted to do it myself. less middlemen to deal w/. And I don't have to make an appointment to see a nurse.
	♥ 3:52pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:50 Pity the fool!
	🧀 ♥ 3:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ northguineahills @3:51 Not that unusual for folks using long term injectable meds to learn to do it themselves, more convenient.
	🧀 ♥ 3:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Blues at Midnight (mono)" by "Sun Ra and His Arke... The range of musics Sun Ra's Arkestras played is amazing! (bebop anyone)
	🧀 ♥ 3:55pm Handy Haversack: Ack, time to split. Hope fully will catch up with you all from the other side of the river.
	♥ 3:56pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ doctorjazz @3:54 be the bop you want to see in the world
	♥ 3:57pm northguineahills: ↳ doctorjazz @3:53 i've drawn my own blood before, how hard can it be? (and I only need to administer it once every 84 days)
	🧀 ♥ 3:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Wendy and outages. A storm blew through here Saturday evening with lots of lightning. The power stayed on just fine through the night. Yesterday morning umder bright, sunny skies and no wind, the power went out for two hours.
	♥ 3:57pm northguineahills: ok, now it's to be delivered, Thursday...
	♥ 3:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:55 later Handy!
	♥ 3:58pm northguineahills: ok, i can finally listen...
	🧀 ♥ 3:58pm anne: oi, hello again, letter in mail to you today, Wendy! long time i no be around.
	♥ 3:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey KenFHP and Anne. Welcome!
	♥ 3:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ anne @3:58 A letter! That's even better than a video. Oh... have we got a video?
	♥ 4:01pm late and insignificant opinion # 22,993∅: i don't know much about Morressey's being a prick, but his fantasic ego and self-centeredness cause him to ruin the majority of smiths material. that said, they were an excellent band and he was or is an excellent lyricist. i find his singing/moaning particularly more tolerable on the meat is murder album, for whatever reason. maybe the musical compositions lean away from the lightness of much of their other songs. (how soon is now being one obvious exception)
	♥ 4:02pm late and insignificant opinion # 22,993∅: ↳ Charles in Chicago @3:52 it's a good word! i also use the word "silly", and sometimes people look at me like i'm silly for using it!
	♥ 4:02pm northguineahills: yes!! Kermie!
	♥ 4:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello late and insignificant opinion (...). Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 4:03pm Listener Gregory: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:50 Excellent! However, I wonder if you use them in this romantic sense. That is, would you call the unrequited lover a clown? He's not amusing!
	4:04pm ike-0: Kermit and fozzie - Bert and Ernie - oh hey
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Listener Gregory @4:03 hmmm, maybe not. my guess is i'm seriously lacking in the classic/classy culture department.
	4:06pm ike-0: I feel like Richard Dreyfuss with the mashed potatoes....this means something....
	♥ 4:06pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Listener Gregory @4:03 Everybody plays the fool, It may be factual, it may be cruel
	♥ 4:07pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:06 dig this!
	♥ 4:07pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Movin' Right Along" by "Kermit the Frog & Fozzie ... am i trippin, or is this skippin?
	4:08pm ike-0: @Asheville Jon I'm digging the extended remix
	♥ 4:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: Asheville Jon: Yes! (I mean, the two aren't mutually-exclusive, right?)
	♥ 4:11pm Ridonkulous: I was just vacuuming and thought I'd tune in.
	♥ 4:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ridonkulous, you're just in time!
	🧀 ♥ 4:15pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:06 Word!
	♥ 4:17pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" More Tortoise! OK!
	♥ 4:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" i obviously like this album....
	♥ 4:21pm tom tom the pipers son: this seems to have changed its mind at a point
	♥ 4:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @4:19 This album helped me get my bachelor's degree.
	♥ 4:22pm Ridonkulous: "Ry Cooder" could be a vacuum cleaner brand, somehow.
	🧀 ♥ 4:23pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @4:22 B.S. in reptile studies?
	♥ 4:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:22 haha, totally. Ry Cooder could be many things. I mean, in addition to the actual person.
	♥ 4:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Gregory @4:23 No! But I don't blame you for guessing that. BA in Sociology. Same thing, really.
	♥ 4:23pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:22 "Cooder" has the same vowel pattern as "Hoover"
	♥ 4:23pm Ridonkulous: A sandwixch, too, of course
	🧀 ♥ 4:24pm egould: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" Just watched ‘Last Man Standing’ last week. Ry Cooder did the soundtrack. Solid film.
	🧀 ♥ 4:24pm David (in London): Sort your gluten free bread with this new rye coder. I'll see myself out.
	♥ 4:25pm tom tom the pipers son: hoover was named after herbert hoover who people thought was vacuous
	🧀 ♥ 4:25pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" Big fan of the REAL Ry Cooder! Haven't been up on Tortoise, know of them but never listened much, do like this track a whole lot!
	4:25pm Max D: Hi Wendy & Wreckers of Adventure!
	♥ 4:25pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ David (in London) @4:24 centralstreetfarmhouse.com...
	♥ 4:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Max D. Welcome!
	♥ 4:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @4:24 Oh David, how COULD you! rye has plenty of gluten!
	♥ 4:26pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ doctorjazz @4:25 Tortoise have an awesome discography, "Standards" might be my favorite (that opening guitar part!) but they are all good
	4:26pm Max D: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:25 😁😂
	4:27pm Lala: Why why why? Indeed. Now we know.
	♥ 4:27pm coelacanth∅: (+ although i pronounced it "rye" for 40-50 years, at some point i started hearing his name pronounced "Ree".)
	♥ 4:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: Lala! <3 Hello, OPOM.
	♥ 4:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @4:24 or did you mean " Rye Decoder"...
	🧀 ♥ 4:30pm WR: First minute I am not on a customer call since 11AM and I hear Lonnie Holley, Very reassuring. Thank you.
	🧀 ♥ 4:30pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:28 Break encrypted international messages about bread with this new rye decoder. I'll come back in so that I can then see myself out again.
	4:32pm Max D: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:27 Hmm, I have never heard it pronounced like that.
	🧀 ♥ 4:32pm egould: Is there any way to get odds on whether it’ll be a “keep” or a “get rid of”?
	♥ 4:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @4:30 wait i'm going in front of you - in case they throw things
	🧀 ♥ 4:34pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:32 Thanks Coela, you're a pal.
	4:34pm Fred and Alan: Hi Wendy. Thanks for everything love from Fred and Alan
	🧀 ♥ 4:34pm egould: Hoboken? Get rid of it!
	🧀 ♥ 4:34pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @4:30 Hey, WR, how was the Monty Hall movie last night?
	4:35pm Lala: Opinions are like assholes but that doesn't mean you have to be one.
	🧀 ♥ 4:35pm luka: lol
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Max D @4:32 yes, just in the past 2-3 years, via wfmu. ...but then, plenty of names and other words are mispronounced by fmu show hosts!
	♥ 4:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello WR, Fred and Alan. Welcome!
	♥ 4:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" i kinda like it
	♥ 4:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:36 I reserve the right to mispronounce things. hahahaha. But I try not to.
	4:37pm bradford: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" sounds like a winner to me!
	4:38pm rw: Good afternoon! I'm keeping my mouth shut about any records from the '90s.
	♥ 4:39pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @4:37 I have not managed to find a clip of Mr Cooder pronouncing his own name but I found several interviews and live performances where he's introduced as "RYE" (not "REE") Cooder and he does not correct the pronunciation.
	4:39pm Max D: I'd keep it. Like the bombastic guitars.
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth∅: it reminds me of lizard music crossed with ... something... i like it
	♥ 4:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey rw! Welcome.
	🧀 ♥ 4:39pm egould: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" The singer/lyrics are the weak point. However, it is earnest. It’s obvious that Fugazi and Samiam were influences…. Keep it!
	🧀 ♥ 4:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Cross My Fingers" by "Gigantic" Thumbs up, IMHO.
	4:40pm Max D: ↳ egould @4:39 Agreed. Heard a little Polvo, too.
	♥ 4:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ry Cooder" by "Tortoise" I always thought the track 'ry cooder' was a pun as a cooter is a turtle in the South (there's a cooter fest about 45 miles from here in FL)
	♥ 4:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:39 that's how i try to find out when it matters enough to me. it hasn't mattered enough to me! but also i figure i'll find out eventually one way or another
	♥ 4:41pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ northguineahills @4:40 Tortoise named themselves after John Fahey's record label, so it's possible they just liked Ry and wanted to tribute him
	🧀 ♥ 4:42pm David (in London): A perfect gift for the turtle loving foodie in your life is this new edible rye cooter. Sorry.
	🧀 ♥ 4:42pm doctorjazz: Really, I would think Ry Cooder would be inspiration to many musicians (wish I could play close to the way he does...)
	♥ 4:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Charles in Chicago @4:41 yes of course (just most people outside of FL don't know the cooter connection as well)
	♥ 4:44pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ northguineahills @4:43 We don't have cooters in Chicago, we have Chonkosaurus
	🧀 ♥ 4:46pm Handy Haversack: I think my walk was about five miles. Better than 9/11, when I started down by Gramercy Park.
	♥ 4:51pm coelacanth∅: i quite enjoyed that blackout. we made a fire in a steel drum in a parking lot right in the middle of town - talking to cops with a bottle of whiskey in my hand, free food from a local business, playing drums and acoustic guitars all night...
	♥ 4:51pm northguineahills: I had a job where I set my own hours. I was just about to work, when the work power went out (i was in bed-stuy). Our neighbors told us to stay inside as they expected rioting like in '79. But, we needed beer, so, we walked to Pratt, and then finally Myrtle Ave trying to find a bodega open w/ beer. We bought as much as we could carry. went back home, and just drank and smoked on the roof all night. It was a fun and hot night...
	🧀 ♥ 4:51pm Handy Haversack: There was no Markowitz cheering on the Queensboro.
	♥ 4:53pm coelacanth∅: i have other blackout stories but i don't remember them
	🧀 ♥ 4:54pm spodiodi: greetings, Wendy and all!
	🧀 ♥ 4:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:53 ZING!
	🧀 ♥ 4:55pm Handy Haversack: K8 was on Roosevelt Island, but fortunately not on the tram.
	♥ 4:55pm coelacanth∅: hi spodi!
	♥ 4:56pm tom tom the pipers son: stayed at friends garden in williamsburg until late, the walk home to east williamsburg w/o streetlights was disorienting as the streets were hardly recognizable
	♥ 4:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:54 glad you got that!
	♥ 4:57pm Ridonkulous: Someone (I think Jim Carroll?) wrote about a kid back in the '60s who was playing hooky from school and passing the time before getting home, whacking power poles with a stick as he passed them. As he got to the last one on the block, he whacked it, and all power on the East Coast went out. Already feeling guilty, he ran home crying, "I did it! It was me!" Good story but not as epic as yours.
	♥ 4:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:57 that story's great!
	🧀 ♥ 4:59pm Handy Haversack: K8 actually has a play series set in the NYC blackouts of 1965, 1977, 2003, and 2042 (projected).
	♥ 5:02pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Djed" by "Tortoise" @Wendy - that song title might be "D.J.'ed" but I'm pretty sure it's pronounced like "Jed", it's an pillar-like Egyptian heiroglyphic representing "stability". en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 5:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, spodi!
	♥ 5:03pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tamboura" by "Kollectiv" like the beginning.... anticipation
	🧀 ♥ 5:05pm David (in London): Spod, Tom: ahoy.
	♥ 5:06pm tom tom the pipers son: hi, david in london
	🧀 ♥ 5:08pm spodiodi: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:06 what's shakin', David (in London)?
	♥ 5:08pm tom tom the pipers son: am liking, reminiscent of can, eary kraftwerk. esp, w/ flute
	5:09pm Santos L Halper: Digging…
	♥ 5:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:08 could have gone on for a while longer, kinda ended before it really ended
	♥ 5:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello, Santos L Halper. Welcome!
	🧀 ♥ 5:13pm doctorjazz: Time to head home, thanks for the fine music Wendy! Catch y'all later!

	♥ 5:47pm sydnius: ↳ prof.fuzz @5:41 Hiya! I hope the fuzz flows
