	9:03pm Matt Fiveash: Is this thing on?
	9:04pm Yes: Hi matt amanda and ira !!
	9:04pm PJ: And I am sure the Luc Sante books up for grabs are wonderful, but he wrote one of the most boring books I've ever read, The Other Paris (which seemed to be mostly a cut and paste job from other, better books.)

	9:04pm Rick G: Greetings Ira, Georgia, Amanda, Matt, skeletons closeted and crew, and listeners. Happy pledge drive.
	9:05pm brendangen: What a great song
	9:05pm Matt in Carrboro: From a review of Luc Sante's book: Whatever the topic and mood, these essays are a pleasure—and any work that name-checks the Nightcrawlers’ proto-punk classic “The Little Black Egg” deserves the broadest possible readership.
	9:05pm PJ: Great start to the show, Ira

	9:14pm Gurldoggie: How can I say no? Love this show, love WFMU, and love Luc Sante.
	9:17pm Yes: lol
	9:19pm Kpx: You almost had it, ants on a log is cream cheese on a stick of celery dotted with raisins.
	9:19pm Spinning Giant: Fingers Xed my lucky number comes up for the Luc Sante books...they sound great... You're doing a great job so far in your inaugural funding-drive hosting gig, Ira!
	9:20pm Gurldoggie: Done and done! I'm a swagger for life now! XOXO folks!
	9:20pm B R M: "Do you know how much trouble I have syncopating?" 🤣
	9:21pm joe: I think the first time I ever heard this was on WFMU many years ago.
	9:21pm listener 126464: yoo-hoo!
	9:21pm B R M: When Buddy Rich is unavailable to coach the band #Dad
	9:21pm Ira: My ants on a log research suggests that peanut butter can be substituted for cream cheese.
	9:22pm Spinning Giant: Gurldoggie ---> YES! Welcome to the club! :D
	9:22pm B R M: Yay @Gurldoggie! As they chanted in FREAKS: "One of us... One of us..."
	9:23pm Yes: ants on a log is a well balanced delicious treat
	9:23pm Amanda: There will be a Yo La Tengo request show this coming Saturday during Todd’s show, 3-6pm! :D Hellooooo everybody!
	9:24pm Vince from Pearl: Happy to be here
	9:25pm listener 126464: Honey Radar is going off.
	9:25pm Spinning Giant: There are many menu variations on the ant-log theme - I've heard tell some folks like it with the Cheez Whiz as a filling...
	9:26pm Dayffid: I believe raisins can be substituted for chocolate chips also
	9:27pm brendangen: What about the abomination that is the Lincoln Log sandwich - the greatest culinary achievement from the Sopranos? A hot dog (hot or cold) laid on top of cream cheese on a piece of wonder bread
	9:29pm Spinning Giant: @brendangen ---> that does sound abominable... i don't remember that from the show - i do remember developing an obsession for cannollis (sp?) as a result of watching it though...
	9:29pm Ira: I am never sorry not to have watched The Sopranos, but now I even less sorry.
	9:30pm Kpx: Were here for the cream cheese and peanut butter-🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
	9:30pm Ira: I AM sorry to have left the word "am" out of that last comment.
	9:31pm Matt in Carrboro: My 4th grader sometimes eats ants on a log. It's one of the few vegetables he'll eat.
	9:33pm melinda: hi everyone! I not watch the sopranos either.
	9:33pm brendangen: How can three folk so treacherous love love so much? I confused
	9:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Amanda ! <3
	9:45pm joe: I missed who Ira was making reference to in regards to writing about CBGB.
	9:49pm Ira: Luc Sante
	9:51pm joe: Thank You. I love taking in anything from that time period in NYC life.
	9:51pm Gurldoggie: Wow! I won the books. At least my alter ego did. Tuesday night radio with Ira plus two new books from Luc Sante?! My cup runneth over!
	9:51pm Amanda: Come on everyone, we would love to see some more love for Ira this hour. PLEDGE NOW at wfmu.org/pledge or right at the top of this page!
	9:51pm Brian from MN: enjoy the show, listen from MN and became a swag for life member in 2020 as you have helped me get thru the Rona lockdown...thanks staff for keeping WFMU on the air and I enjoy the banter and great musical selections, it's like listening to records in the basement with friends
	9:52pm Amanda: @gurldoggie Congratulations!
	9:52pm Mike W: I watched part of the 1993 All-Star Game with Jonathan Richman, at First Avenue in Mpls. He’s a thoughtful observer of the game!

	10:13pm Chop Scott: Happy to hear all three of you on the air together tonight--Cheers!
	10:14pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: A few years back Uncle Michael ripped off Joe Belock's premium idea. What's with that guy? note: Uncle Michael if you are reading this please note that Wikipedia says I am "noted for my dry wit".
	10:14pm Gaylord Fields: For a pledge of $75 or more, you can choose Ira's premium — TA HAVE!!!

	10:17pm bob dublon Plasticland: pete stamphel lived next door to my grandma in Wauwatosa Wisconsin
	10:17pm Gaylord Fields: Aw, Georgia, that's one of my favorite cartoons, especially the ending.
	10:17pm wendy del formaggio: I do believe I signed up for Ira’s premium when I did my pre-marathon S4L renewal. I could not resist such a theme.
	10:18pm melinda: haha
	10:19pm bunjun: my campy mum used to sing 'you beautiful doll' to me all the time when i was a baby girl. lol. it's hardwired now. 😜 also 'hello my baby"

	10:25pm Jason from Houston: ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	10:27pm Rick G: I’m a total rube, but am thankful for all the new and newish (to me) music on all the shows on WFMU: Cut Worms, Giuda, Amyl and the Sniffers, Exbats, Death by Unga Bunga and on and on! And some band called “Slade” some DJ seems to like...
	10:28pm patrick321: Beautiful tune
	10:29pm Little Danny: East New York Ensemble is sooo good.
	10:29pm Matt Fiveash: Pledge 20 bux for more and win certified WFMU smash hit Cut Worms double LP!
	10:32pm Scrappy: I'm with you, Rick. Found out about The Expats and Amyl and the Sniffers here, along with Kid Gulliver, The Airport 77s, Kate Fagan, Death Valley Girls, etc etc.
	10:32pm herb.nyc: Great show (duh). Re Luc Sante, I just finished a very nyc book, Richard Price’s Lush Life. Excellent.
	10:33pm Birdman: Salutations!
	10:33pm herb.nyc: Ive posted this 4,5x since Saturday. I do so now. I just want/hope wfmu to get its needed money. Here: Note- I upped my usual annual amount, due to death of any wfmu listeners (via COVID or other). This is inspired by last yr's passing of listener volunteer Bill Weber, whom I’ve never met. RIP. (The Mountain Goats tweeted about Bill, and that they would pledge extra.). and as per those who can’t pledge due to the pandemic, it’s to try and fill the holes.
	10:38pm Dusty: Thanks for another great Tuesday, Ira and crew; happy to chip in a buck from colorful Colorado.
	10:38pm Scott Williams: Love hearing all of you together on the radio! This version of Sunflower is doing wonders for the anxiety I developed in the hour leading up to show!
	10:39pm Amanda: Love you Scott W, thanks so much for all your help this eve.
	10:43pm wendy del formaggio: This song is the one I most associate with Bugs Bunny. “Powerhouse” being a close second.
	10:45pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:48pm wendy del formaggio: ABBA!
	10:48pm Spinning Giant: damn this Cut Worms x2 LP is epic - if I don't win it, I'm ordering it...
	10:49pm Georgia: Spinning giant: good thinking!
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Rabbit of Seville !
	10:50pm Spinning Giant: Georgia - new to me, but damn! so good!
	10:50pm Steven Manning: hi I pledged $50.00 on the website and as I wrote there: I survived a year of COVID lockdown and all I got was the Ira show to keep me sane. Thanks!
	10:52pm Scott Williams: Steven Manning, we did hear your comment read out on the air!
	10:54pm melinda: I know a Bryan in Cedar Falls, what if it's the same?
	10:56pm chresti: I know where Valley Village is, in the SFV. I'm in the SGV

	9:29pm Spinning Giant: @brendangen ---> that does sound abominable... i don't remember that from the show - i do remember developing an obsession for cannollis (sp?) as a result of watching it though...

	10:33pm herb.nyc: Ive posted this 4,5x since Saturday. I do so now. I just want/hope wfmu to get its needed money. Here: Note- I upped my usual annual amount, due to death of any wfmu listeners (via COVID or other). This is inspired by last yr's passing of listener volunteer Bill Weber, whom I’ve never met. RIP. (The Mountain Goats tweeted about Bill, and that they would pledge extra.). and as per those who can’t pledge due to the pandemic, it’s to try and fill the holes.
	10:38pm Dusty: Thanks for another great Tuesday, Ira and crew; happy to chip in a buck from colorful Colorado.
