Listener comments!
	9:03pm BH: good evening (is there a line between evening and night?)
	9:04pm Michael Shore: when the baboons are in bev bevan's house...you call the fire brigade?
	9:05pm Rick G: Thanks for hosting this block of relative sanity Ira. Cheers all.
	9:07pm TDK60: \|\|out/demons\out\|\|->
	9:07pm Ira: As always, it's a pleasure to be here. At the very least, it's 3 hours without me looking at the New York Times. Well, not as much.
	9:10pm Libby’s Mom: Here for the soul balm (bomb?)
	9:10pm Ira: The keen-eyed may detect a theme developing.
	9:12pm andrea: that's some research ira! hehe ♪
	9:13pm BH: Wonder how many cents the Honey Drippers get for every time somebody plays "Impeach the President" through a streaming service
	9:13pm Ira: @BH: I'm sure they're penny-aires by now!
	9:16pm Georgia: What happened you?!
	9:18pm Ira: It's a cultural appropriation classic--Terry and Tommy imitating Chuck Berry imitating "Cubans."
	9:19pm Bergey: This is hilarious I love it
	9:31pm Michael Shore: @Ira I see about 1/12th of a theme... more 12ths could be Jay McShann, Ronald Shannon Jackson & George Duke?
	9:31pm slugluv1313: good evening, Ira! Skeleton Crew! Everyone! and yes, Ira, can totally relate re: New York Times :)
	9:34pm walkspot: Why more recording info this week?
	9:35pm Michael Shore: @Ira I came back in the room and heard my name on air? what did I do???
	9:36pm Jedley: @Michael he was panning your lack of attention to the show
	9:38pm Scott Williams: @walkspot, it's one of several annual Sound Exchange reporting periods, the extra info helps the artists pile up all those pennies
	9:38pm Jedley: That was supposed to be a good-natured rib xox
	9:39pm Ira: Oh no, Jedley, it landed right in the solar plexus!
	9:39pm Michael Shore: @Jedley I was afraid of that, thanks (re lack of attention)
	9:40pm Ira: @Michael Shore: Mentioned that Cynthia Heimel has a credit for cover art on the Hamiet Bluiett lp, which led me to take your name in vain.
	9:42pm Michael Shore: @Ira Cynthia? Really? it was a smaller world than we knew back in the day!
	9:42pm Ira: She has a credit on another record, I think, also on India Navigation.
	9:46pm slugluv1313: DAMN now i am craving Black Eyed Peas, Sweet Potatoes, and Collard Greens
	9:48pm slugluv1313: aghhhhhhh Rush Limbaugh's birthday too??? only found out some years ago, but Dick Cheney was also born on my birthday :(
	9:49pm Michael Shore: @Ira for some reason my gut tells me Chico Freeman.
	9:50pm BH: Fortunately Rush came along a few years too late to have a string of novelty records supplementing his talk radio income
	9:51pm Ira: @slugluv1313: Hope this number will cheer you up!
	9:54pm slugluv1313: @Ira -- the collard green and sweet potatoes and black-eyed peas sure helped :) ooooo was just watching The Weather Underground the other night -- THANK YOU!!!
	9:54pm Lori from Eau Claire: Hearing sympathy and optimism in many of the tracks, too. Love the variety, thank you!
	9:56pm Michael Shore: Avoiding Afghan Whigs for Hound Dog Taylor -- well done Mr ItK!
	10:00pm Kat in Chicago: Hello radio sweethearts!
	10:03pm TDK60: It was also Jack London's birthday, socialist and adventure writer. 1876.
	10:03pm John L: It's also the birthday of screenwriter Alan Sharpe who wrote The Hired Hand featuring a great soundtrack by Bruce Langhorne. If you run out of anyone.
	10:03pm KWilde: Tex Ritter
	10:04pm John L: TDK60. Martin Eden was one of my favorite novels as a teenager. Looking forward to the new film version.
	10:05pm walkspot: @ScottWilliams thanks!
	10:06pm TDK60: I've never read that one, John L.
	10:07pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: Ridiculous! (Coincidentally — or maybe not — that all-time best Odd Couple episode ran earlier today on the Decades channel.)
	10:13pm Ira: John L: I missed that one! But I might be able to take that suggestion.
	10:16pm John L: Sharpe also wrote Arthur Penn's Night Moves, but I wouldn't want to suggest that particular Bob Seger song.
	10:21pm CDToaster: "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by Elton John? I though that was by "White Plains". Have I tuned in late and I'm missing a joke here somewhere?
	10:23pm Michael Shore: Kreskin & The Sun Ra Arkestra 2019 has to be up there with the greatest YLT Chanukkah opening acts ever
	10:23pm Gaylord Fields: @CDToaster: Ca. 1970, pre-stardom Elton John was enlisted to cover a bunch of the current pop hits for an exploitation LP released by a UK budget label. No joke detected.
	10:23pm Chop Scott: This song blows my mind!
	10:27pm Hams: i share a birthday with yves montand, paul simon, lenny bruce & pharoah sanders. just sayin'.
	10:28pm Michael Shore: Did Liza do Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?
	10:28pm wendy del formaggio: Liza with a “z”! Thanks, Ira!
	10:28pm vertual: Now that's a swinging interpretation!
	10:28pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: That Kreskin/Angry Samoans bit was magic!
	10:29pm Michael Shore: "and I just don't get it!" tell em Liza!
	10:29pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, not to be a scold, but you misspelled "Lorna."
	10:30pm Parq: Dept. of Mondagreens: When Lightfoot's original came out, I thought the line was "Just like a paperback novel/the kind that just don't sell."
	10:30pm Gary: Any way to commemorate Haruki Murakami? Got to be a jazz connection there.
	10:30pm wendy del formaggio: I think The Muppets, specifically Animal, covered “A Foggy Day in London Town.”
	10:31pm Little Danny: Hi Ira, hi all
	10:32pm andrea: oooh what a grooove
	10:35pm vertual: Let's not forget Tim Horton.
	10:36pm scobot: This is unexpected!
	10:38pm Joe B: alright Scott!
	10:38pm TDK60: And they have that big library to themselves. Not fair.
	10:40pm Little Danny: Scott sleeps on an old army cot at the station, correct?
	10:40pm Scott Williams: Thanks Joe B & Ira! New recliner in the main studio, and we've chopped up the library into our own private segments, like a multiplex
	10:41pm Scott Williams: Danny, oh no, I stay right here in this recliner!
	10:42pm Little Danny: Rings true. Full reclination ahoy!
	10:43pm CDToaster: @Gaylord: WOW, thanks so much for the info. I never knew. Much appreciated.
	10:45pm Gaylord Fields: @CDToaster: At your service! As it says on my business card: Pedantic Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
	10:50pm Jason from Houston: Got stuck on CSPAN. Here now... ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	10:51pm Little Danny: Love everything from Lou's Pickwick staffer daze.
	10:52pm Ira: If only the Velvet Underground had backed up the Righteous Brothers on more songs!
	10:52pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Then you're a big Surfsiders fan, I presume.
	10:53pm Little Danny: Same label, should have happened!
	10:53pm Jason from Houston: WUT
	10:53pm Georgia: Psychedelic Bee!
	10:54pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:55pm Dusty: Excited to hear the Morton Feldman/Henny Youngman birthday segment that must be just around the corner...
	10:55pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I was not expecting “Psychedelic Bee”—long time since I heard it
	10:56pm Andres: Evening Ira. Here from watching the debate on H Res 21. I yield the remainder of my time to the gentleman DJ.
	10:57pm Ira: Dusty, Henny Youngman born in March. Just sayin'.
	10:57pm BH: wonder if there's somebody with a stopwatch keeping track of how much time has been used by both sides during a House debate.
	10:58pm Little Danny: @Gaylord: I dumped the Surfsiders LP as it didn't quite have that spectral Pickwick demo fidelity. Is there rumored Lou involvement on it?
	11:00pm Joe B: Lou Reed sings lead on two songs, Little Deuce Coupe and ... i forget the other one
	11:01pm Ira: Surfin'
	11:01pm Dusty: Oof. I think there is a joke about a battle of wits with an unarmed man in there somewhere.
	11:01pm Little Danny: Whoa, okay, thanks!
	11:02pm Jedley: (After this is over, you all need to watch AOC's instagram livestream happening now. Shocking... some of them faced invaders and thought they were going to die.)
	11:02pm Michael Shore: @Ira you probably knew this already but: June 21, Ray Davies AND Augustus Pablo's birthdays. And each did a song called "Apeman."
	11:04pm Ira: These songs shorter than I expected. I may have to segue to June 21 before the show ends!
	11:04pm TDK60: I'm kaput. Thanks Ira, Scott. \|\| OUT!
	11:04pm Jason from Houston: ♫ ♫ ♫ ꒰ ᵕ ༚ ᵕ ꒱ ♫ ♫ ♫
	11:05pm BH: are there any good December 1st (12/1) songs for the people whose countries say January 12th is 12/1?
	11:08pm Joe B: You could play a song by Bake Turner in honor of the Jets' birthday as champions, Jan 12, 1969
	11:08pm BH: Jedley: meanwhile on Facebook Watch, the Representative Mikie Sherill video where she mentions "recon missions" last Tuesday is getting noticed by people online. At the risk of giving you even more videos to watch online.
	11:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: What Joe and Ira said. Listen for those two songs; it is unmistakably Lou singing on them.
	11:10pm Joe B: @little danny - still looking into rumors about Lou being involved with the New Surfsiders
	11:11pm Dean: Confused. Today isn't Bev Bevans' birthday.
	11:12pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: Haha!!! I think I hear him in the background on "Luau" (recorded at a New Surfsiders "Party").
	11:14pm Little Danny: @Gaylord: I just did, and I do hear it! Crazy.
	11:15pm Jedley: @BH always room for one more!
	11:15pm Dean: Today is Morton Feldman's birthday, 1926.
	11:16pm BH: I've found that following famous people on Instagram is more fun than following them on Twitter or Facebook. If only Instagram didn't have that algorithm.
	11:17pm Little Danny: @Gaylord: Was just plowing through some of the Cale-heavy "Inside the Dream Syndicate" volumes this weekend, crazy that that world briefly overlapped with one of the crappiest budget labels ever. At least for a second or two in the form of Lou (and John).
	11:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Good luck re-acquiring that now high priced collectible! A VG copy will run you $10 on Discogs these days!
	11:17pm northguineahills: Morton Feldman had the best glasses!
	11:18pm Listening Out There: Play Misty for me. :)
	11:19pm Little Danny: I have an oligarch's budget when it comes to splurging on budget label crapola, Gaylord.
	11:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Highbrow or lowbrow, it's all the same racket.
	11:20pm Gary: George Duke, Maggie Bell
	11:20pm glennfromglendale: Greensleeves is old old
	11:23pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:24pm Jedley: Napoleon would have been lucky to have an army that persecuted its missions as ruthlessly and effectively as you are this theme, @Ira
	11:32pm John L: Here's a stretch: it's Oliver Platt's birthday. His first film was "Married To The Mob." Great soundtrack, so just about anything off of that.
	11:33pm glennfromglendale: Popped over to that AOC stream for a few. I’m so happy she is making waves! I just love her spirit and her story. I was then thinking about a progressive powerful left with a squad full of young AOC’s
	11:34pm Andres: Rabbit Seazon!
	11:34pm Hoboken Jack: Rabbit season!! Late hello, everybody.
	11:34pm glennfromglendale: We would probably be like one of those nice countries
	11:36pm Andres: Jinx! I like your thinking, Hoboken Jack.
	11:37pm Little Danny: Beautiful, this Flamingos. Very similar lyric and arrangement to some other song I'm forgetting.
	11:37pm Joe B: Oliver Platt sat in with us one night on the copy desk at The News while doing research for his TV show Deadline. sad to report, he was kind of a dick
	11:38pm Hoboken Jack: I shall buy you a Coke, Andres!
	11:38pm Ira: Joe B.: If only it had been Ed Platt. I'm sure he was a prince!
	11:38pm Michael Shore: and John L thought Oliver Platt was a stretch? I keed, I keed...this is the bestest funnest Ira show ever and NOT just cos he gave me a shoutout!
	11:41pm Joe B: @Ira - I am imagining the specially designed 8-person cone of silence coming down for the person in the office who taped the sopranos every sunday, and would get pissed when everyone was talking about it before they watched it
	11:41pm abdu: neubauten has a new album out and it's blixa's birthday
	11:42pm Joe B: for every mistake I let in the paper, I could tell him, missed it by that much
	11:44pm Little Danny: Lovely.
	11:44pm MONEYBAG$: I fell asleep for much of the show, but apparently it caused me have a dream about watching Gilbert Gottfried beat someone up.
	11:44pm John L: If you've seen "Rebel Without A Cause" you know that Ed Platt can take on James Dean in a fight.
	11:45pm Hoboken Jack: Happy birthday Dylan Kennedy (parents musta been hippies) of Tunes and Hoboken-based band Dog Date.
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Ira. Sounded great! I'm fixin' to kick this Pastels tune and push off. Be well, all.
	11:47pm Joe B: re Maharishi - thanks for sparing us The TM Song by the Beach Boys!
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: Whoa...cut to ENO?!
	11:50pm Little Danny: Loved the show, especially this set. Thanks Ira.
	11:51pm jt: Love this version. So warm!
	11:51pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:51pm McGroovey: Ack. I just remembered that it's Tuesday night. I missed the first 170 minutes!
	11:54pm Spinning Giant: Happy last-minute birthday to all the other Jan. 12-ers (I am also one) - thanks Ira - a fab soundtrack for the evening as I pack in preparation for a big move this weekend - cheers all!
	11:56pm Jason from Houston: Happy Birthday... Love you, good people. Stay safe and sweet, okay?
	11:56pm Andres: kingdoughnut - Not Canadian but Japanese! Thanks, Ira!
	11:56pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	11:57pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:58pm Michael Shore: Thanks for a fabulous show Ira. Cynthia-Bluiett musta had something to do with Peter O.
	11:58pm Joe B: great show Ira, thanks!
	11:58pm Ira: Thanks, everybody and everyone. Stay safe.
	12:00am andrea: thank u ira! nite!
	12:00am McGroovey: Well, it was a great 10 minutes.

	9:31pm slugluv1313: good evening, Ira! Skeleton Crew! Everyone! and yes, Ira, can totally relate re: New York Times :)
	9:34pm walkspot: Why more recording info this week?
	9:35pm Michael Shore: @Ira I came back in the room and heard my name on air? what did I do???
	9:36pm Jedley: @Michael he was panning your lack of attention to the show
	9:38pm Scott Williams: @walkspot, it's one of several annual Sound Exchange reporting periods, the extra info helps the artists pile up all those pennies
	9:38pm Jedley: That was supposed to be a good-natured rib xox
	9:39pm Ira: Oh no, Jedley, it landed right in the solar plexus!
	9:39pm Michael Shore: @Jedley I was afraid of that, thanks (re lack of attention)
	9:40pm Ira: @Michael Shore: Mentioned that Cynthia Heimel has a credit for cover art on the Hamiet Bluiett lp, which led me to take your name in vain.
	9:42pm Michael Shore: @Ira Cynthia? Really? it was a smaller world than we knew back in the day!
	9:42pm Ira: She has a credit on another record, I think, also on India Navigation.
	9:46pm slugluv1313: DAMN now i am craving Black Eyed Peas, Sweet Potatoes, and Collard Greens
	9:48pm slugluv1313: aghhhhhhh Rush Limbaugh's birthday too??? only found out some years ago, but Dick Cheney was also born on my birthday :(
	9:49pm Michael Shore: @Ira for some reason my gut tells me Chico Freeman.
	9:50pm BH: Fortunately Rush came along a few years too late to have a string of novelty records supplementing his talk radio income
	9:51pm Ira: @slugluv1313: Hope this number will cheer you up!
	9:54pm slugluv1313: @Ira -- the collard green and sweet potatoes and black-eyed peas sure helped :) ooooo was just watching The Weather Underground the other night -- THANK YOU!!!
	9:54pm Lori from Eau Claire: Hearing sympathy and optimism in many of the tracks, too. Love the variety, thank you!
	9:56pm Michael Shore: Avoiding Afghan Whigs for Hound Dog Taylor -- well done Mr ItK!
	10:00pm Kat in Chicago: Hello radio sweethearts!
	10:03pm TDK60: It was also Jack London's birthday, socialist and adventure writer. 1876.
	10:03pm John L: It's also the birthday of screenwriter Alan Sharpe who wrote The Hired Hand featuring a great soundtrack by Bruce Langhorne. If you run out of anyone.
	10:03pm KWilde: Tex Ritter
	10:04pm John L: TDK60. Martin Eden was one of my favorite novels as a teenager. Looking forward to the new film version.
	10:05pm walkspot: @ScottWilliams thanks!
	10:06pm TDK60: I've never read that one, John L.
	10:07pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: Ridiculous! (Coincidentally — or maybe not — that all-time best Odd Couple episode ran earlier today on the Decades channel.)
	10:13pm Ira: John L: I missed that one! But I might be able to take that suggestion.
	10:16pm John L: Sharpe also wrote Arthur Penn's Night Moves, but I wouldn't want to suggest that particular Bob Seger song.
	10:21pm CDToaster: "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by Elton John? I though that was by "White Plains". Have I tuned in late and I'm missing a joke here somewhere?
	10:23pm Michael Shore: Kreskin & The Sun Ra Arkestra 2019 has to be up there with the greatest YLT Chanukkah opening acts ever
	10:23pm Gaylord Fields: @CDToaster: Ca. 1970, pre-stardom Elton John was enlisted to cover a bunch of the current pop hits for an exploitation LP released by a UK budget label. No joke detected.
	10:23pm Chop Scott: This song blows my mind!
	10:27pm Hams: i share a birthday with yves montand, paul simon, lenny bruce & pharoah sanders. just sayin'.
	10:28pm Michael Shore: Did Liza do Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?
	10:28pm wendy del formaggio: Liza with a “z”! Thanks, Ira!
	10:28pm vertual: Now that's a swinging interpretation!
	10:28pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: That Kreskin/Angry Samoans bit was magic!
	10:29pm Michael Shore: "and I just don't get it!" tell em Liza!
	10:29pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, not to be a scold, but you misspelled "Lorna."
	10:30pm Parq: Dept. of Mondagreens: When Lightfoot's original came out, I thought the line was "Just like a paperback novel/the kind that just don't sell."
	10:30pm Gary: Any way to commemorate Haruki Murakami? Got to be a jazz connection there.
	10:30pm wendy del formaggio: I think The Muppets, specifically Animal, covered “A Foggy Day in London Town.”
	10:31pm Little Danny: Hi Ira, hi all
	10:32pm andrea: oooh what a grooove
	10:35pm vertual: Let's not forget Tim Horton.
	10:36pm scobot: This is unexpected!
	10:38pm Joe B: alright Scott!
	10:38pm TDK60: And they have that big library to themselves. Not fair.
	10:40pm Little Danny: Scott sleeps on an old army cot at the station, correct?
	10:40pm Scott Williams: Thanks Joe B & Ira! New recliner in the main studio, and we've chopped up the library into our own private segments, like a multiplex
	10:41pm Scott Williams: Danny, oh no, I stay right here in this recliner!
	10:42pm Little Danny: Rings true. Full reclination ahoy!
	10:43pm CDToaster: @Gaylord: WOW, thanks so much for the info. I never knew. Much appreciated.
	10:45pm Gaylord Fields: @CDToaster: At your service! As it says on my business card: Pedantic Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
	10:50pm Jason from Houston: Got stuck on CSPAN. Here now... ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	10:51pm Little Danny: Love everything from Lou's Pickwick staffer daze.
	10:52pm Ira: If only the Velvet Underground had backed up the Righteous Brothers on more songs!
	10:52pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Then you're a big Surfsiders fan, I presume.
	10:53pm Little Danny: Same label, should have happened!
	10:53pm Jason from Houston: WUT
	10:53pm Georgia: Psychedelic Bee!
	10:54pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:55pm Dusty: Excited to hear the Morton Feldman/Henny Youngman birthday segment that must be just around the corner...
	10:55pm Dungaroos Kipawah: I was not expecting “Psychedelic Bee”—long time since I heard it
	10:56pm Andres: Evening Ira. Here from watching the debate on H Res 21. I yield the remainder of my time to the gentleman DJ.
	10:57pm Ira: Dusty, Henny Youngman born in March. Just sayin'.
	10:57pm BH: wonder if there's somebody with a stopwatch keeping track of how much time has been used by both sides during a House debate.
	10:58pm Little Danny: @Gaylord: I dumped the Surfsiders LP as it didn't quite have that spectral Pickwick demo fidelity. Is there rumored Lou involvement on it?
	11:00pm Joe B: Lou Reed sings lead on two songs, Little Deuce Coupe and ... i forget the other one
	11:01pm Ira: Surfin'
	11:01pm Dusty: Oof. I think there is a joke about a battle of wits with an unarmed man in there somewhere.
	11:01pm Little Danny: Whoa, okay, thanks!
	11:02pm Jedley: (After this is over, you all need to watch AOC's instagram livestream happening now. Shocking... some of them faced invaders and thought they were going to die.)
	11:02pm Michael Shore: @Ira you probably knew this already but: June 21, Ray Davies AND Augustus Pablo's birthdays. And each did a song called "Apeman."
	11:04pm Ira: These songs shorter than I expected. I may have to segue to June 21 before the show ends!
	11:04pm TDK60: I'm kaput. Thanks Ira, Scott. \|\| OUT!
	11:04pm Jason from Houston: ♫ ♫ ♫ ꒰ ᵕ ༚ ᵕ ꒱ ♫ ♫ ♫
	11:05pm BH: are there any good December 1st (12/1) songs for the people whose countries say January 12th is 12/1?
	11:08pm Joe B: You could play a song by Bake Turner in honor of the Jets' birthday as champions, Jan 12, 1969
	11:08pm BH: Jedley: meanwhile on Facebook Watch, the Representative Mikie Sherill video where she mentions "recon missions" last Tuesday is getting noticed by people online. At the risk of giving you even more videos to watch online.
	11:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: What Joe and Ira said. Listen for those two songs; it is unmistakably Lou singing on them.
	11:10pm Joe B: @little danny - still looking into rumors about Lou being involved with the New Surfsiders
	11:11pm Dean: Confused. Today isn't Bev Bevans' birthday.
	11:12pm Gaylord Fields: @Joe B: Haha!!! I think I hear him in the background on "Luau" (recorded at a New Surfsiders "Party").
	11:14pm Little Danny: @Gaylord: I just did, and I do hear it! Crazy.
	11:15pm Jedley: @BH always room for one more!
	11:15pm Dean: Today is Morton Feldman's birthday, 1926.
	11:16pm BH: I've found that following famous people on Instagram is more fun than following them on Twitter or Facebook. If only Instagram didn't have that algorithm.
	11:17pm Little Danny: @Gaylord: Was just plowing through some of the Cale-heavy "Inside the Dream Syndicate" volumes this weekend, crazy that that world briefly overlapped with one of the crappiest budget labels ever. At least for a second or two in the form of Lou (and John).
	11:17pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Good luck re-acquiring that now high priced collectible! A VG copy will run you $10 on Discogs these days!
	11:17pm northguineahills: Morton Feldman had the best glasses!
	11:18pm Listening Out There: Play Misty for me. :)
	11:19pm Little Danny: I have an oligarch's budget when it comes to splurging on budget label crapola, Gaylord.
	11:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Little Danny: Highbrow or lowbrow, it's all the same racket.
	11:20pm Gary: George Duke, Maggie Bell
	11:20pm glennfromglendale: Greensleeves is old old
	11:23pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:24pm Jedley: Napoleon would have been lucky to have an army that persecuted its missions as ruthlessly and effectively as you are this theme, @Ira
	11:32pm John L: Here's a stretch: it's Oliver Platt's birthday. His first film was "Married To The Mob." Great soundtrack, so just about anything off of that.
	11:33pm glennfromglendale: Popped over to that AOC stream for a few. I’m so happy she is making waves! I just love her spirit and her story. I was then thinking about a progressive powerful left with a squad full of young AOC’s
	11:34pm Andres: Rabbit Seazon!
	11:34pm Hoboken Jack: Rabbit season!! Late hello, everybody.
	11:34pm glennfromglendale: We would probably be like one of those nice countries
	11:36pm Andres: Jinx! I like your thinking, Hoboken Jack.
	11:37pm Little Danny: Beautiful, this Flamingos. Very similar lyric and arrangement to some other song I'm forgetting.
	11:37pm Joe B: Oliver Platt sat in with us one night on the copy desk at The News while doing research for his TV show Deadline. sad to report, he was kind of a dick
	11:38pm Hoboken Jack: I shall buy you a Coke, Andres!
	11:38pm Ira: Joe B.: If only it had been Ed Platt. I'm sure he was a prince!
	11:38pm Michael Shore: and John L thought Oliver Platt was a stretch? I keed, I keed...this is the bestest funnest Ira show ever and NOT just cos he gave me a shoutout!
	11:41pm Joe B: @Ira - I am imagining the specially designed 8-person cone of silence coming down for the person in the office who taped the sopranos every sunday, and would get pissed when everyone was talking about it before they watched it
	11:41pm abdu: neubauten has a new album out and it's blixa's birthday
	11:42pm Joe B: for every mistake I let in the paper, I could tell him, missed it by that much
	11:44pm Little Danny: Lovely.
	11:44pm MONEYBAG$: I fell asleep for much of the show, but apparently it caused me have a dream about watching Gilbert Gottfried beat someone up.
	11:44pm John L: If you've seen "Rebel Without A Cause" you know that Ed Platt can take on James Dean in a fight.
	11:45pm Hoboken Jack: Happy birthday Dylan Kennedy (parents musta been hippies) of Tunes and Hoboken-based band Dog Date.
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Ira. Sounded great! I'm fixin' to kick this Pastels tune and push off. Be well, all.
	11:47pm Joe B: re Maharishi - thanks for sparing us The TM Song by the Beach Boys!
	11:47pm Mr. Pumpy: Whoa...cut to ENO?!
	11:50pm Little Danny: Loved the show, especially this set. Thanks Ira.
	11:51pm jt: Love this version. So warm!
	11:51pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:51pm McGroovey: Ack. I just remembered that it's Tuesday night. I missed the first 170 minutes!
	11:54pm Spinning Giant: Happy last-minute birthday to all the other Jan. 12-ers (I am also one) - thanks Ira - a fab soundtrack for the evening as I pack in preparation for a big move this weekend - cheers all!
	11:56pm Jason from Houston: Happy Birthday... Love you, good people. Stay safe and sweet, okay?
	11:56pm Andres: kingdoughnut - Not Canadian but Japanese! Thanks, Ira!
	11:56pm Jason from Houston: OH DANG
	11:57pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:58pm Michael Shore: Thanks for a fabulous show Ira. Cynthia-Bluiett musta had something to do with Peter O.
	11:58pm Joe B: great show Ira, thanks!
	11:58pm Ira: Thanks, everybody and everyone. Stay safe.
	12:00am andrea: thank u ira! nite!
	12:00am McGroovey: Well, it was a great 10 minutes.
	12:00am Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Thanks for the great show, Ira!
	8:14am alan the painter: Clay, thank you for this wake up call!
