	3:08pm SueAdynamo: baseball song
	🎸 ♥ 3:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, gang. I'm sure Lyle has a long and interesting story about the musician in the playlist photo.
	♥ 3:10pm Irwin: Welcome all here rockings people.
	3:10pm jan: Hi Irwin- You know music, right? Maybe you can shed some light- All weekend there was endless promotion of the Tonys and Hamilton. I'm no fan of Broadway, but have found merit from time to time in some of that genre, but Hamilton? I just don't get it. anyone else?
	♥ 3:13pm Irwin: Jan - I know music. About Broadway - nada.
	♥ 3:13pm JP from KC: Hiya Irwin! Totally digging this track!
	3:17pm jan: Irwin- But have you heard Hamilton? It's Rap the music of our time, or so I heard Lin-Manuel Miranda say on TV. And you have played show tunes...
	♥ 3:21pm Irwin: The Hamilton phenomenon has barely penetrated my consciousness. And I still don't know what a Kardashian looks like.
	3:24pm Shannon: Yay, haven't heard this Catchers song in ages! This is inspiring me to dig through my CD crates...
	♥ 3:25pm Irwin: Shannon: the album still sounds great. Band dissolved too quickly.
	♥ 3:26pm Irwin: This track is playing because it features basic rock song structures, a subtle use of vocal harmony, mild rhythmic syncopation, major key tonality, and a vocal-centric aesthetic.
	♥ 3:30pm Irwin: Hiromi: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 3:31pm Aharon: BUT IS IT ROCK?
	♥ 3:31pm Irwin: This track is playing because it features an angular melody, strong rhythmic syncopation, a compelling intensity, a sense of anxiety, wildly complex rhythm, chromatic harmony, atonal harmony, dissonant harmony, a Modern style, a Contemporary style, and a broad tempo.
	♥ 3:32pm coelacanth: hello Irwin and others
	♥ 3:32pm Parq: @Irwin, 3:21. You're not missing anything.
	3:33pm geezerette: Yes,you know music!

	3:33pm Michael: Irwin sounding a bit like the Dean. Horrors.
	♥ 3:34pm coelacanth: are you talking about Alexander Hamilton, or the Hamilton that played with Joe Frank and reynolds?
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm Aharon: Wow, this Hiromi is really great too.
	♥ 3:37pm Parq: Coelacanth, they mean that Hamilton woman.
	3:37pm jan: @coelacanth: didn't know about that Hamilton, I only know what I see on the TV or hear on WFMU
	♥ 3:37pm Irwin: This track is playing because it features an overall compositional virtuosity, a tranquil mood, an acclaimed work, a well-known composer, a Classical-Era style, a small string orchestra, tonal harmony, major key tonality, and a fast and bright tempo.
	♥ 3:38pm coelacanth: i was wondering why this track was playing. now i know.
	♥ 3:38pm melinda: This is lovely.
	♥ 3:38pm Parq: Shit, I thought it was because it had a good beat and was fun to dance to.
	♥ 3:39pm coelacanth: not aware of a hamilton woman. should i gargle it?
	3:39pm geezerette: Keep going Irwin,learning a lot. :)
	♥ 3:40pm coelacanth: ...i mean, google.
	♥ 3:40pm Irwin: This track is playing because it features block piano chords, Brazilian jazz influences, a melodic piano solo, a horn ensemble, big band arrangements, Latin percussion, and unique instrumentation. And it is about taking drugs.
	♥ 3:40pm Mike East: Irene played this Monkees cut last night...its really nice. Thanks.
	3:45pm jan: Irwin, you do really know music!
	3:47pm Listening Out There: Always liked the "Triplets" soundtrack...
	♥ 3:48pm coelacanth: this track is playing because Irwin put it on.
	♥ 3:49pm Mike East: Seeing the Triplets of Belleville in the theater not knowing what to expect was quite thrilling, I recall.
	3:49pm jan: Triplets: Thanks to Irwin mentioning of the show and playing the music, I saw that great film!
	♥ 3:56pm Irwin: This track is playing because it features New Orleans influences, swing influences, a melodic tenor sax solo, acoustic piano accompaniment, a horn ensemble, big band arrangements, a lazy swing groove, a groove oriented approach, and a major tonality.
	3:59pm geezerette: UH!
	♥ 4:02pm coelacanth: are you going to play any songs featuring electric rock instrumentation,a subtle use of vocal harmony, extensive vamping,minor key tonality, a vocal-centric aesthetic, and electric pianos?
	4:04pm geezerette: Love these descriptions of decisions Irwin.
	♥ 4:05pm coelacanth: i kind of know what one of the kardashians looks like...the one that my niece thought was pretty, whichever one that is.
	♥ 4:06pm Irwin: This track is playing because it features an acclaimed work, a well-known composer, tonal harmony, minor key tonality, a walking pace tempo, and a Baroque style.
	♥ 4:07pm melinda: I like her voice.
	4:10pm geezerette: HAHA!!!!

	♥ 4:12pm Parq: Perfect.
	4:12pm em: love this so much. my hubs never understands why TED talks make me vomit. gotta play this for him.
	4:12pm geezerette: That hideous sound of faux wonder.
	♥ 4:13pm melinda: In the beginning TED talks seemed fresh and interesting.
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Zats, I always think of Turtle Exclusion Device when I see TED. Keeps sea turtles from drowning when they get scooped up into trawlers' nets.
	4:14pm geezerette: Me! Me!Me!
	♥ 4:14pm melinda: But maybe I'm a simpleton.
	♥ 4:14pm Mike East: likewise, em, I need to play this for my wife for similar reasons.
	4:14pm geezerette: in air quotes.
	♥ 4:15pm Cheyenne: This is the most PoMo Ted Talk in history.
	🎸 ♥ 4:15pm βrian: Still, Baby Jesus weeps for the subjunctive.
	♥ 4:15pm Irwin: This track is playing because it features swing influences, a leisurely tempo, a well-articulated piano solo, acoustic piano accompaniment, a horn section, trumpet playing, light drumming, electric guitar accompaniment, use of call-and-response melodies, a lazy swing groove, interesting part writing, strong melodies, major tonality, two-step style, and elaborate arrangements.
	♥ 4:17pm coelacanth: it's very subtle.
	4:17pm Fredericks: I was about to ask: Why the hell is Irwin playing this? Now. I know.
	♥ 4:18pm fred: That talk sounded like subtitles for when the director of the institute where I work introduces the yearly festival. He once ended his speech by playing random scenes from a Bergman film, then asked if anyone had questions
	♥ 4:22pm coelacanth: at the risk of missing a song featuring electric rock instrumentation,subtle use of vocal harmony,extensive vamping,minor key tonality,a vocal-centric aesthetic and electric pianos; i must depart. Thanks Irwin.
	♥ 4:24pm coelacanth: well, damn. i guess i'll wait.

	♥ 4:33pm coelacanth: ...minor key tonality, electric rock instrumentation, use of feedback,a vocal-centric aesthetic,prominent drums,subtle use of harmony...
	♥ 4:35pm Bronwyn Bishop: Am I the only one who loves clowns? Especially European clowns. Maybe it's because my mom was a clown back in the '70s.

	4:44pm Wild Neil: @Irwin et al-PEACE. Signing in, but gotta go work is over and gotta grill some organic food. Bye! I LIKE minor key tonality in music...it sounds smarter than the la-di-da of most major key songs...but I might be wrong!
	♥ 4:46pm Irwin: See you here next week, Wildman.
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm βrian: I read that title as "Dracula's Cauliflower."
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: Are there any good songs that sing about the Brexit vote? Are there any songs about it at all for that matter?
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm βrian: "Into the Brabyss"?

	5:28pm Andy the painter: great set Irwin. and all new to me. thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm -Ken: Yeah Stephen was rejected for the Monkees because of the gap in his teeth. They hadn't invented dental work yet.
	5:29pm Linda Lee: but Ken, Mickey Dolenz had a gap too!
	5:30pm Linda Lee: i'd say it was really the hairline.
	♥ 5:30pm neilwarren: Wow
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm -Ken: Mickey Dolenz had a good gap. Stephen Stills had a evil gap. Big difference.
	5:33pm Linda Lee: was that dependent on the ratio between the measurement of the gap & the width of the septum? if so, i get it.
