WFMU: Old Codger with Courtney T. Edison: Playlist from March 18, 2021

Listener comments!
	12:35pm Lolabelle Pancake: Welcome, Codgetarians! We look forward to seeing you at 6pm. We have quite a few special guests on tonight's program who will attest to Courtney's dominance of the radio arts. They will urge you to pledge to WFMU (and of course, 50% of that pledge money will go directly into Courtney's pocket!).
	1:54pm Listener Robert: Flabbio thinks he's something for being able to proclaim he's playing a vinyl. Meaning a cheap plastic imitation. Wake me up when he can say it's a genuine shellac. Or wax.
	3:10pm Listener Robert: Hah! While Codger keeps up with audio technology, Flabbio's playing Morse code!
	3:34pm Listener Robert: Did you lift "Codgetarians" from the handle used an hour earlier, "The Encogitationer", by someone commenting on The Blog Formerly Known As Hit and Run?
	♥ 5:00pm rrg: I'm here. Ready when you are, LP.
	5:32pm Lolabelle Pancake: Hello, everyone. I was under the sunlamp this afternoon. I'm tanned, relaxed, and ready to monitor the comments board and administer the playlist. Sorry my photo here doesn't reflect that I'm now technically a Person of Color.
	♥ 5:39pm rrg: What treats are in store for us this evening, Lolabelle? Can you share any of it ahead of time?
	5:41pm Lolabelle Pancake: There will be special guest appearances by TWO Bodenheims, one making his debut!
	♥ 5:51pm loveless: @Lolabelle Pancake I'll be the judge of that.
	♥ 5:55pm ultradamno: Fablio apparently has some cartoon bird friend with him in studio, he's quite loud.
	♥ 5:59pm rrg: "Sorry... no playlist updates in over 15 minutes, waiting for the DJ to update what they've been playing." Consider how much better Lolabelle maintains the playlist here!
	♥ 6:00pm ultradamno: Indeed. Prof...FART?!
	♥ 6:01pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Woah, surely that was defamation!
	6:03pm Laura L: Loveless, I am guessing Lolabelle's apparent melanin deficiency would make her a PPC--a Person of Pale Color--even after a tanning booth session.
	♥ 6:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...fundraising - but no feat's too big w/ Fats Waller...
	♥ 6:05pm ultradamno: It's glove slap, demand of satisfaction time, it seems to me.
	♥ 6:06pm loveless: @Laura L Just teasing LC and I agree.
	6:07pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: I'm so excited, I brought my party sweater with me today!
	6:11pm HyperDose: Courtney will get his licensing fee one way, or he'll take a detour.
	6:12pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thank you, Joe McGasko. That was mighty gracious of you considering your "complicated" history with Courtney.
	♥ 6:12pm G: Codger doesn't actually even use the phrase Surface Noise. He uses the phrase "Shurfashe Noizhe."
	6:12pm Lolabelle Pancake: We want to thank Lisa from Brooklyn for her pledge to the Old Codger pension fund.
	♥ 6:13pm G: George Formby, the dirty old isle of man.
	♥ 6:13pm rrg: With his little ukulele in his hand.
	♥ 6:13pm ultradamno: I understand this Formby song is being considered for the opening credits sequence of the movie adaptation of Gus Bodenheim's "Handful of Chuck"
	6:14pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to Gregory in Crystal, Minnesota, for pledging. WOW! The FM signal is really drifting far tonight!
	♥ 6:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...draw the curtains - he's always looking innuendo...
	6:15pm Lolabelle Pancake: Ultra, the title of Gus's salacious novel is "A Fistful of Chuck."
	♥ 6:15pm dale: lolabelle - do you know the next year after 2022 that calendar would be good for? i'm just doing some estate planning and want to will it to someone who might still be alive.
	6:16pm Lolabelle Pancake: It will work for 2033 and 2039.
	6:16pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: Ladies, go get your pocketbooks and put a smile on Courtney's face!
	♥ 6:16pm dale: oh. i might still be on this side of the grass then.
	♥ 6:17pm ultradamno: I had heard the movie producers made a change for further salaciousness' sake.
	6:17pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to listener William in Brooklyn who has tithed to the Church of Courtney.
	♥ 6:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Louis Jordan sounding Caribbean. Well that's interesting.
	6:21pm Lolabelle Pancake: Louis Jordan recorded a number of calypso tunes.
	♥ 6:24pm G: "all manner of bottom-feeders" -- don't hold back, Courtney -- tell us what you really think
	6:24pm Listener Robert: Speaking of schedule makers, it looks like some skullduggery from Flabbio must have resulted in the Rock and Soul stream's having a "retro" program opposite the Old Codger's. Flabbio will resort to anything to divert audience from here, even if he has to sacrifice some of his own in the process.
	6:25pm HyperDose: Gus' bed music is always top-tier
	♥ 6:25pm Gaylord Fields: Yawn! Same old Bodenheim blather! That family has lost its ability to surprise us.
	♥ 6:26pm G: Everyone's Got Sex Appeal for Someone -- or as my ex's Italian grandmother used to say: There's a lid for every pot.
	6:26pm Lolabelle Pancake: Gaylord! Glad you're tuned in. We appreciate the "facilitation" you did for us this past week.
	♥ 6:27pm dale: did gaylord get his cat back?
	♥ 6:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Even G.G.Allin Had a Girlfriend
	♥ 6:27pm ultradamno: I do hope the cat was returned no worse for wear.
	6:27pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney thrives on "facilitators." The more facile, the better.
	♥ 6:29pm G: not Love Me And Then Leave Me?
	♥ 6:29pm dale: the cat came back. the very next day.
	♥ 6:30pm dale: love ruth. you can't spell 'petting' without 'etting.'
	♥ 6:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When the gerontologist says you need to Catnap...
	♥ 6:33pm dale: this IS kate and anna mcgarrigle.
	♥ 6:33pm G: Now I know what group Alvin and the Chipmunks were copying
	6:36pm HyperDose: Wait, that wasn't The Ardells singing Chipmunks?
	♥ 6:38pm G: Flip is a Non-People of Green Color
	♥ 6:39pm ultradamno: A double-digit phone number? Kid.
	♥ 6:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Flip was apparently just as often B&W...
	6:40pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney is a black & white supremacist.
	♥ 6:40pm G: A mulatto frog? Wow.
	♥ 6:43pm Gaylord Fields: Now that's a Bodemheim I can relate with!
	6:44pm Lolabelle Pancake: Someone asked Courtney about Cancel Culture. He's not a stamp collector.
	♥ 6:45pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Just made my first donation. So excited for the calendar. Hope I did everything right! Looked as if I did. I make sure to catch this show live every week. Radio at its best, and I really appreciate how I wind up learning about all of these great artists who were so famous back in their days and seem otherwise forgotten now.
	♥ 6:45pm G: Courtney's not a philatelist. He's a philanderer.
	6:46pm Lolabelle Pancake: Gaylord, do you know Bobby "Blue" Bodenheim? Not sure which branch he came from.
	6:46pm βrian: I think there's a comma missing in the byline.
	6:47pm Lolabelle Pancake: Brian, you must hail from Oxford!
	♥ 6:47pm G: No expects the Punctuation Inquisition.
	6:49pm Lolabelle Pancake: We want to thank Laura from NYC, Monica from Sunnyside (contributing to the Codger's Medicare Part Z fund), Alan in Brooklyn, and Michael in Fort Lee for pledges!
	♥ 6:49pm ultradamno: I understand Flip found it quite easy being green and referred to Kermit by many emasculating nicknames over his whining ballad.
	♥ 6:50pm dale: the gay 90s.
	♥ 6:51pm ultradamno: Irwin Chusid? That's a name?
	6:51pm Lolabelle Pancake: Irwin Chusid used to do a show on WFMU during the 1990s. They were quite gay!
	6:52pm Laura L: Even though the calendar will be good again in 2033, it's better not to wait that long!
	6:52pm βrian: Is that why they call it a Faulknerian Comma?
	♥ 6:54pm G: No, that comma ("serial comma") was house style at Oxford Univ Press in the UK
	6:54pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney once knew an editor who was a serial comma killer.
	♥ 6:55pm G: So Courtney met him, too haha
	♥ 6:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well ...being an internal digital vandal & bio-hazard sounds very au courant...
	6:56pm βrian: The choice is between the serial comma or the cereal comma.
	6:56pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to Jeff of Red Bank and Dan from Bellingham MA for pledging and helping the Codger limp towards the finish line.
	♥ 6:56pm rrg: I love the Oxford comma, but I'll do without it if that's the price of having the Old Codger Hour on the radio.
	♥ 6:56pm Gaylord Fields: Hi, Lolabelle. I'm happy to be the liaison between Courtney and Booker T. Just don't ask me to do the same between Booker T. and the other Bodenheims.
	6:57pm βrian: @rrg: Aye that.
	♥ 6:58pm Gaylord Fields: Bobby "Blue" Bodenheim hails from the Mississippi River branch, but strangely enough for a blues singer, the part of the river in Minnesota.
	6:58pm Lolabelle Pancake: Well, Gaylord, Booker T. reads a lot of books, and the other Bodenheims write a lot of them. Surely there is some grounds for rapprochement.
	♥ 6:59pm radioronan: Thanks Codger, Lolabelle, skeleton crew!
	6:59pm βrian: Blue State Blues.
	6:59pm Lolabelle Pancake: Has BTB read Gus's "A Fistful of Chuck"?
	♥ 6:59pm D Rok (in brooklyn): I just pledged a little more to support The Old Codger. May God have mercy on my soul.
	♥ 6:59pm Gaylord Fields: Lolabelle, I believe the thing that will bring them all together is their shared art of the grift.
	7:00pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thank you, Derek of Brooklyn, for your last-minute pledge.
	♥ 7:00pm D Rok (in brooklyn): Hi Gaylord. I hope Courtney gave you your cat back!
	♥ 7:01pm Gaylord Fields: @D Rok: Yes, and four others.
	♥ 7:01pm D Rok (in brooklyn): HA! Very good.
	7:02pm HyperDose: Superb!
	7:02pm Lolabelle Pancake: The Codger is the only person who would abduct your cat for ransom, and when the ransom is paid, you get back more cats than were abducted.
