	♥ 9:12pm greg g: Yes ! TDK60 & the Tooznighters
	9:13pm Rick G: Greetings Ira and Georgia. Just paused the Odd Couple (with Howard Cosell!) to tune in.
	♥ 9:13pm Ira: Intro was SO high energy that I'm only seeing the comments during the ballad. Hi everyone.
	9:15pm Robm: Evening fellow listeners
	9:16pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Good evening all...
	♥ 9:16pm Ira: The good news about being distracted is I have no, zero, like not at all, idea how the Mets are doing tonight.
	♥ 9:18pm Bruce S.: Mets are loseing big 8-2
	9:19pm georgia: Ah-- well I guess i can fast forward now.
	9:21pm mookie: >>zero, like not at all, idea how the Mets are doing tonight Peterson makes me miss Matz.
	9:21pm georgia: well i did see the meeting on the mound in double time did 0.
	♥ 9:21pm Gurldoggie: Eight to Tooz on Tooznight? Too bad.
	♥ 9:22pm Ira: Sorry, Georgia. But then again maybe you should be thanking me and Bruce S.
	♥ 9:22pm Bruce S.: Peterson is not the answer
	9:22pm Rick A: Hello Ira, longtime listener, first time poster. I'm reading student portfolios and listening to your show which makes the student work more engaging. Rick G., I remember that Odd Couple episode. It's really funny as Oscar and Howard try to out insult each other.
	9:23pm mookie: It is the universe making up for them having deGrom
	9:23pm georgia: forget baseball, to the disco now
	♥ 9:23pm Hughie Considine: There's no crying in baseball ... or at the disco.
	9:23pm mookie: if you are keith hernandez you can do both!
	♥ 9:25pm Bruce S.: I didn't know the Staples dabbled in disco
	9:25pm georgia: @hughie so many tears shed a the disco
	♥ 9:27pm Hughie Considine: Joyous music with lots of underlying pathos, @Georgia
	♥ 9:28pm Ira: Peterson is not the answer. The Answer is doing betting commercials between every half inning.
	♥ 9:28pm steveo: Hello Ira. I'm enjoying the records you are playing 🙂
	9:29pm Rick A: The Staples' song for the movie "Let's Do It Again" is not only disco, but quite sexy as well.
	♥ 9:29pm Cmurtha: World's Worst Record show just played this not that long ago. Disco Disco Disco,
	9:29pm yippie: i know what he really wants to do with that crisco in frisco
	9:29pm Slaboch: This is amazing!
	♥ 9:30pm Bruce S.: I imagine Bill Murray singing this for some reason
	9:30pm Rick G: Rick A: just started but Cosell is pretty good in it so far!
	♥ 9:30pm Hughie Considine: Waiting patiently for Marlin Briscoe
	9:31pm yippie: does he mean sisqo who sings the thong song?
	♥ 9:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi! 🕺 💃 Up and at 'em!
	♥ 9:31pm Gurldoggie: That was appalling.
	9:31pm Michael Shore: Hughie you took the words right out of my keyboard. crushed that Bill Joy failed to name the former Bills QB!
	9:31pm vernalbogneris: SONG POEM!! I love song poems. I presume this is a so-called song poem. Best song poem of all time (and one of my favourite any-kind-of-songs): Ecstacy to Frenzy, by Rodd Keith. (sorry for the delayed comment, had to stop and sign in)
	♥ 9:32pm Hughie Considine: Briefly in tune with the zeitgeist - feels good, @Michael
	9:33pm Michael Shore: calls for something from...Nabisco?
	♥ 9:33pm Cmurtha: It is Vernal! As I said a few weeks back Worlds Worst Record Show on the sheena stream did a full hour of Disco Song Poems. I would recomend it for a laugh. Enjoying the set!
	♥ 9:34pm Bruce S.: You can pair the most redicoulous song with something great Ira
	9:35pm Rick A: I grew up hating Cosell. While that emotion was unnecessarily exaggerated, the guy was rather pompous and I'm not sure he was so smart. He is really funny in the film Bananas, though.
	9:36pm georgia: @vernalbog.. song poems rarely disappoint. convertible and a headband is my personal favorite.
	9:36pm Robm: So can everyone else with this station
	♥ 9:36pm Ira: Rick A, Cosell was a supporter of Muhammad Ali when that was a controversial position to take.
	9:37pm vernalbogneris: Damn, yeah. Convertible and a Headband. I do believe I've heard it. Right on.
	♥ 9:37pm Bruce S.: @Rick A Cosell was also great with mohamed Ali
	♥ 9:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but geee why was there a backlash against Disco after seven years of stuff like that ?! ...OK so it had Phases ...Yes kiddos - let me Discosplain the Discosploitation...
	♥ 9:39pm Bruce S.: My spelling is super lousy
	9:40pm Rick A: Point taken about Cosell and Ali, however, he got in big trouble when he called a Washington receiver "a little monkey" on Monday Night Football.
	♥ 9:41pm Bruce S.: I think this was on out of our heads
	♥ 9:42pm Hughie Considine: AllI can say is it's too bad Jim Steinman wasn't a basketball fan because "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" with Cosell rather than Rizzuto would have been fascinating.
	♥ 9:42pm greg g: the best stones song ive never heard (before)
	♥ 9:42pm MontageWO: a <3 for brian jones
	9:42pm vernalbogneris: Hey I think Jeffrey Lewis quoted this "dont you panic" bit in one of his LSD songs.
	♥ 9:46pm Bruce S.: @Hughie Considine though the thought is very funny it is also nightmare induceing
	♥ 9:47pm Little Danny: Hi Ira, hi y'all.
	♥ 9:51pm greg g: down with the stax trax and looking forward to michael shelleys interview with steve cropper this saturday . well played ira
	♥ 9:51pm Little Danny: Steve Cropper's guitar licks are perfect.
	♥ 9:51pm Bruce S.: Soul city shake down
	♥ 9:58pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good Ira! The K! Good evening from Woodside Queens! Where it always smells good after a heavy rain
	♥ 9:59pm chresti: Evening Ira and clown party!
	♥ 10:03pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Ira and clown POSSE!
	10:05pm absmiami: hoping everyone is appropriately dressed this evening ...
	♥ 10:06pm Bruce S.: Love the percussion
	10:10pm Andres: Hi, Ira! Loved that Mogwai and thinking about the irrational frustration that an instrumental brings up in some people. “Cannot comprehend no lyrics! Argh!”
	♥ 10:12pm MontageWO: love them sculptural rhythms!
	♥ 10:12pm John L: It might just be me, but this Bonzo song sounds like it could have influenced Julian Cope.
	10:14pm absmiami: was wondering what a set combining YLT and Mogwai might sound like - Big Ears just released their March 2022 dates ...
	10:16pm James from Málaga: Listening from Málaga Spain....peace all!
	♥ 10:16pm Gurldoggie: I love how the Bonzos occupy that space of being musically better than a “novelty band” but still unrepentantly silly. What’s a modern equivalent band?
	♥ 10:17pm Oxidized: Not necessarily modern, but Mr. Bungle?
	10:18pm Andres: Ween?
	♥ 10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ween followed Zappa in that realm - if we can be literally Modern & not quite Contempo...
	♥ 10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Residents, Devo...
	♥ 10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Beck Hansen... actually several people featured on the Subgenius Hour of Slack...
	10:19pm sufferwords: kaboooom SCTV
	10:19pm absmiami: The Tubes ??
	♥ 10:19pm Gurldoggie: Great bands one and all. But none of them exactly current…
	♥ 10:20pm PaulRobeson1920: good night, WFMU Land! It’s way past my bed time NIcE SHOW! Thank you <3
	♥ 10:21pm John L: Half Man Half Biscuit?
	♥ 10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Many artists on the Subgenius Hour are. There's kind of a new Genre - almost Medium - of Humor & Music Collage & - I dunno - these Performance things like Subgenius & Do or DIY here on FMU - Negativland &tc. ...
	♥ 10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like if you're not a Cult, Storyteller, Philosopher, Poet, Sound Collage Artist, Performance Artist, Podcaster, MC, Comedian, Actor, Director yer behind the curve...
	♥ 10:24pm chresti: Love this selection!
	♥ 10:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Uh oh, Bronwyn B's egregious technical errors?
	♥ 10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Glitchcore I'm not sure has found its DaVinci yet though...
	10:26pm BH: this remix could use some work
	♥ 10:26pm Oxidized: work it Greg!
	♥ 10:26pm Fuzzy: Try some toothpaste.
	♥ 10:26pm Little Danny: I've listened to worse.
	♥ 10:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: <Bronwyn C>
	♥ 10:27pm chresti: That Was Great.
	10:27pm Charkrem: I loved every second of that!! no need to apologize!
	♥ 10:27pm John L: Maybe there is schmutz on it.
	♥ 10:28pm drowsy: Glitchcore indeed. I pay money for stuff like that.
	♥ 10:28pm Bruce S.: That was actualy not bad at all great set Ira
	10:28pm Andres: Not quite as charming as a record skipping.
	10:29pm Patty: Had this 45 too-Loved it!!! Thanks Ira for a great show every time!
	♥ 10:29pm drowsy: I do love the mental image of the backup singers etc on this track.
	♥ 10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Given how much Digital is going on here - surprising how rare that is... Andres point taken...
	♥ 10:29pm patrick321: Ira Thx for this! one of my fave late 70s records
	10:29pm Rick A: Sadly, I only learned about this song from the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soundtrack--Cliff Booth blazing down Hollywood boulevard!
	10:36pm Parq: A classic line, the last sentence of Baily's obit in the Good Grey Lady: "In recent years he had been running a business consultancy out of an apartment above a Yarmouth hair salon owned by his girlfriend."
	♥ 10:37pm Bruce S.: Perry Mason one of the all time great theme songs
	10:37pm Glistener MW: R.I.P. Phil Hartman
	♥ 10:37pm Little Danny: Nice Simpsons grab!
	♥ 10:38pm Bruce S.: Don adams great
	♥ 10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Familiar especially w/ F. Lee hosting a drunken Kerouac, Ginsberg & Ed Sanders... & more recently classic formal University debates presenting James Baldwin...
	♥ 10:39pm Nardo: Bilko for president
	♥ 10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this does sizzle...
	10:39pm Andres: You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order!
	♥ 10:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Linc from The Mod Squad passed away this week, Clarence Williams III.
	♥ 10:39pm Franco Twinkie: That is hard to imagine, but we are, old except it. If nothing else I would think everyone has seen Gimme Shelter. That's just the bias of a person on Medicare.
	♥ 10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...used to hear routinely how in the Good Ol' Days @ least you had intellectual Conservatives like F. Lee. Of course the more we learn, the more we hear he was a racist turd in a lumpy suit after all...
	♥ 10:42pm Bruce S.: That sizzle reel was too much and Lambchop great follow up
	10:43pm Rick A: Speaking of old, I saw Lambchop play with Vic Chesnutt at the Bowery Ballroom in January of 98, great show.
	♥ 10:44pm Little Danny: I need to know more about AC&S.
	10:45pm Glistener MW: Me too! This is the best arrangement of this song I’ve ever heard
	♥ 10:45pm Bruce S.: RevRab there were alot of racist,facshist maniacs around in the old days
	10:46pm Glistener MW: Who are AC&S, Ira? Googling now with no luck (apparently there’s an asbestos company with same name)
	♥ 10:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah old drunken Kerouac on F.Lee's was pathetic, depressing - & kinda spontaneous witty Zen Kerouac perfection all @ once...
	♥ 10:50pm John L: I had the same problem Googling AC&S. We must know!
	10:50pm absmiami: Ira think you've played Diabate before - this is really nice - guess we dont know what Kedo means ...
	♥ 10:50pm Ira: AC&S . . . all will be explained . . . presently . . .
	10:50pm georgia: Ira, the people need answers!
	10:52pm PortsmouthJay: AC&S is…
	♥ 10:52pm drowsy: Anton Corbijn and ... ?
	10:53pm absmiami: this bands deserves a much better name than the door knobs ...
	10:53pm Glistener MW: Al Cowlings & Simpson
	10:53pm Andres: The Doors was taken.
	10:53pm absmiami: can we rename them ?
	♥ 10:54pm Bruce S.: Yeah In exile was great
	10:54pm KWilde: How can anyone not love this?
	10:55pm Glistener MW: good ol’ Pete StumbleFell
	10:56pm Parq: Speaking of the Odd Couple, isn't there an episode in which Felix sings "Stumblin'"?
	♥ 10:56pm Bruce S.: The Holy Model rounders kind of fit with the discussion before,not contemprary of course
	10:58pm georgia: is the skipping Reigning Sound song again? so far so good you gave it a good talking to huh
	10:59pm absmiami: that never worked for me ...
	♥ 10:59pm Chop Scott: I miss the Big G. program on the R&S stream.
	♥ 10:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was listening to an interview with Stampfel - & while he was making this recent project of recording all these Classic old songs thru the decades ...sounded a little bit like Richard Thompson's Millennium project - a deep historical dive if maybe only recent Centuries ...& Peter's voice gave out completely in the middle of it - like clinically & totally - Dysphonia...
	11:01pm PortsmouthJay: Really digging that reigning sound LP
	♥ 11:01pm Little Danny: @Rev: Have you heard any of the tracks from said Stampfel project (and how where they)?
	♥ 11:02pm Little Danny: Really digging this set, Ira.
	♥ 11:05pm Bruce S.: This is what I call music
	♥ 11:05pm Gurldoggie: This evening’s whole show is in that very musical and very silly space I was talking about!
	♥ 11:06pm Chop Scott: Opps! Back in the day of Ichiban.
	11:07pm Rick A: Musical, silly, and sexy--it's been sexy from the start.
	♥ 11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LittleDanny : I wish I remembered what Program I heard this on - some NPR I suppose?... maybe Aquarium Drunkard ?? Well his voice then has became even more of a threshold for listening than it might already have been - quite seriously. Some are pre & some are post this ? Otherwise - the song choice & the intention are of course presenting these 'Hits' of now receding eras in a different light than as outmoded & unrelatable - yerknow - on their own terms rather than as naive from our perspective...
	11:07pm PortsmouthJay: Ira’s loose and havin’ some funn (extra n for numma numma)
	11:11pm Glistener MW: There are skipping CDs on Spotify as well, I’ve found! =} one track on the Pixies’ “Bossanova” album on there - and another incident I can’t recall.
	♥ 11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sure it were this actually : www.npr.org... - & that's all I know.
	♥ 11:15pm greg g: thanks ira and all the tooznighters. have a restful night and a good week...
	♥ 11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe the longer a Pixie track skips on SpottyFees the more nanofractions of a penny they'll get for it...
	♥ 11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nite greg g !
	11:17pm PortsmouthJay: Rev: thanks for that laugh before bed. 😎
	♥ 11:17pm John L: Felix Unger is not the only person to sing "Stumblin' " on that episode. It was also sung by Monty Hall. It all comes together, like an isosceles triangle!
	♥ 11:20pm Gurldoggie: This new Chills is wonderful.
	11:20pm Chapelhillian: I thought this might be the Strawbs
	♥ 11:24pm Yes: good evening
	♥ 11:25pm Bruce S.: This piece is takeing me to wonderland
	11:27pm Andres: The buzz of a hot summer day. Beautiful sounds!
	11:27pm Jedley: I love how the bloop mixes with the crunch
	♥ 11:28pm Bruce S.: I'm getting an underwater carnival for some reason
	11:29pm Jedley: Yeah this could be a Pram song if Rosie's disturbing vox came in now
	11:31pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: This music is spectacular
	11:36pm vj pussycat: good tuesday night ira and all. i’m feeling a bit down for missing most of the program tonight, but thankful to have tuned in at all. love this synthy stuff

	♥ 11:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. I like these brain cool-down sets at the end of your shows. Was that your idea or your producer's?

	9:19pm georgia: Ah-- well I guess i can fast forward now.
	9:21pm mookie: >>zero, like not at all, idea how the Mets are doing tonight Peterson makes me miss Matz.
	9:21pm georgia: well i did see the meeting on the mound in double time did 0.
	♥ 9:21pm Gurldoggie: Eight to Tooz on Tooznight? Too bad.
	♥ 9:22pm Ira: Sorry, Georgia. But then again maybe you should be thanking me and Bruce S.
	♥ 9:22pm Bruce S.: Peterson is not the answer
	9:22pm Rick A: Hello Ira, longtime listener, first time poster. I'm reading student portfolios and listening to your show which makes the student work more engaging. Rick G., I remember that Odd Couple episode. It's really funny as Oscar and Howard try to out insult each other.
	9:23pm mookie: It is the universe making up for them having deGrom
	9:23pm georgia: forget baseball, to the disco now
	♥ 9:23pm Hughie Considine: There's no crying in baseball ... or at the disco.

	♥ 9:27pm Hughie Considine: Joyous music with lots of underlying pathos, @Georgia
	♥ 9:28pm Ira: Peterson is not the answer. The Answer is doing betting commercials between every half inning.
	♥ 9:28pm steveo: Hello Ira. I'm enjoying the records you are playing 🙂
	9:29pm Rick A: The Staples' song for the movie "Let's Do It Again" is not only disco, but quite sexy as well.
	♥ 9:29pm Cmurtha: World's Worst Record show just played this not that long ago. Disco Disco Disco,
	9:29pm yippie: i know what he really wants to do with that crisco in frisco
	9:29pm Slaboch: This is amazing!
	♥ 9:30pm Bruce S.: I imagine Bill Murray singing this for some reason
	9:30pm Rick G: Rick A: just started but Cosell is pretty good in it so far!
	♥ 9:30pm Hughie Considine: Waiting patiently for Marlin Briscoe
	9:31pm yippie: does he mean sisqo who sings the thong song?
	♥ 9:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi! 🕺 💃 Up and at 'em!
	♥ 9:31pm Gurldoggie: That was appalling.
	9:31pm Michael Shore: Hughie you took the words right out of my keyboard. crushed that Bill Joy failed to name the former Bills QB!
	9:31pm vernalbogneris: SONG POEM!! I love song poems. I presume this is a so-called song poem. Best song poem of all time (and one of my favourite any-kind-of-songs): Ecstacy to Frenzy, by Rodd Keith. (sorry for the delayed comment, had to stop and sign in)
	♥ 9:32pm Hughie Considine: Briefly in tune with the zeitgeist - feels good, @Michael
	9:33pm Michael Shore: calls for something from...Nabisco?
	♥ 9:33pm Cmurtha: It is Vernal! As I said a few weeks back Worlds Worst Record Show on the sheena stream did a full hour of Disco Song Poems. I would recomend it for a laugh. Enjoying the set!
	♥ 9:34pm Bruce S.: You can pair the most redicoulous song with something great Ira
	9:35pm Rick A: I grew up hating Cosell. While that emotion was unnecessarily exaggerated, the guy was rather pompous and I'm not sure he was so smart. He is really funny in the film Bananas, though.
	9:36pm georgia: @vernalbog.. song poems rarely disappoint. convertible and a headband is my personal favorite.
	9:36pm Robm: So can everyone else with this station
	♥ 9:36pm Ira: Rick A, Cosell was a supporter of Muhammad Ali when that was a controversial position to take.
	9:37pm vernalbogneris: Damn, yeah. Convertible and a Headband. I do believe I've heard it. Right on.
	♥ 9:37pm Bruce S.: @Rick A Cosell was also great with mohamed Ali
	♥ 9:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but geee why was there a backlash against Disco after seven years of stuff like that ?! ...OK so it had Phases ...Yes kiddos - let me Discosplain the Discosploitation...
	♥ 9:39pm Bruce S.: My spelling is super lousy
	9:40pm Rick A: Point taken about Cosell and Ali, however, he got in big trouble when he called a Washington receiver "a little monkey" on Monday Night Football.
	♥ 9:41pm Bruce S.: I think this was on out of our heads
	♥ 9:42pm Hughie Considine: AllI can say is it's too bad Jim Steinman wasn't a basketball fan because "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" with Cosell rather than Rizzuto would have been fascinating.
	♥ 9:42pm greg g: the best stones song ive never heard (before)
	♥ 9:42pm MontageWO: a <3 for brian jones
	9:42pm vernalbogneris: Hey I think Jeffrey Lewis quoted this "dont you panic" bit in one of his LSD songs.
	♥ 9:46pm Bruce S.: @Hughie Considine though the thought is very funny it is also nightmare induceing
	♥ 9:47pm Little Danny: Hi Ira, hi y'all.
	♥ 9:51pm greg g: down with the stax trax and looking forward to michael shelleys interview with steve cropper this saturday . well played ira
	♥ 9:51pm Little Danny: Steve Cropper's guitar licks are perfect.
	♥ 9:51pm Bruce S.: Soul city shake down
	♥ 9:58pm PaulRobeson1920: Sounding good Ira! The K! Good evening from Woodside Queens! Where it always smells good after a heavy rain
	♥ 9:59pm chresti: Evening Ira and clown party!
	♥ 10:03pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Ira and clown POSSE!
	10:05pm absmiami: hoping everyone is appropriately dressed this evening ...
	♥ 10:06pm Bruce S.: Love the percussion
	10:10pm Andres: Hi, Ira! Loved that Mogwai and thinking about the irrational frustration that an instrumental brings up in some people. “Cannot comprehend no lyrics! Argh!”
	♥ 10:12pm MontageWO: love them sculptural rhythms!
	♥ 10:12pm John L: It might just be me, but this Bonzo song sounds like it could have influenced Julian Cope.
	10:14pm absmiami: was wondering what a set combining YLT and Mogwai might sound like - Big Ears just released their March 2022 dates ...
	10:16pm James from Málaga: Listening from Málaga Spain....peace all!
	♥ 10:16pm Gurldoggie: I love how the Bonzos occupy that space of being musically better than a “novelty band” but still unrepentantly silly. What’s a modern equivalent band?
	♥ 10:17pm Oxidized: Not necessarily modern, but Mr. Bungle?
	10:18pm Andres: Ween?
	♥ 10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ween followed Zappa in that realm - if we can be literally Modern & not quite Contempo...
	♥ 10:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Residents, Devo...
	♥ 10:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Beck Hansen... actually several people featured on the Subgenius Hour of Slack...
	10:19pm sufferwords: kaboooom SCTV
	10:19pm absmiami: The Tubes ??
	♥ 10:19pm Gurldoggie: Great bands one and all. But none of them exactly current…
	♥ 10:20pm PaulRobeson1920: good night, WFMU Land! It’s way past my bed time NIcE SHOW! Thank you <3
	♥ 10:21pm John L: Half Man Half Biscuit?
	♥ 10:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Many artists on the Subgenius Hour are. There's kind of a new Genre - almost Medium - of Humor & Music Collage & - I dunno - these Performance things like Subgenius & Do or DIY here on FMU - Negativland &tc. ...
	♥ 10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like if you're not a Cult, Storyteller, Philosopher, Poet, Sound Collage Artist, Performance Artist, Podcaster, MC, Comedian, Actor, Director yer behind the curve...
	♥ 10:24pm chresti: Love this selection!
	♥ 10:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Uh oh, Bronwyn B's egregious technical errors?
	♥ 10:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Glitchcore I'm not sure has found its DaVinci yet though...
	10:26pm BH: this remix could use some work
	♥ 10:26pm Oxidized: work it Greg!
	♥ 10:26pm Fuzzy: Try some toothpaste.
	♥ 10:26pm Little Danny: I've listened to worse.
	♥ 10:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: <Bronwyn C>
	♥ 10:27pm chresti: That Was Great.
	10:27pm Charkrem: I loved every second of that!! no need to apologize!
	♥ 10:27pm John L: Maybe there is schmutz on it.
	♥ 10:28pm drowsy: Glitchcore indeed. I pay money for stuff like that.
	♥ 10:28pm Bruce S.: That was actualy not bad at all great set Ira
	10:28pm Andres: Not quite as charming as a record skipping.
	10:29pm Patty: Had this 45 too-Loved it!!! Thanks Ira for a great show every time!
	♥ 10:29pm drowsy: I do love the mental image of the backup singers etc on this track.
	♥ 10:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Given how much Digital is going on here - surprising how rare that is... Andres point taken...
	♥ 10:29pm patrick321: Ira Thx for this! one of my fave late 70s records
	10:29pm Rick A: Sadly, I only learned about this song from the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood soundtrack--Cliff Booth blazing down Hollywood boulevard!
	10:36pm Parq: A classic line, the last sentence of Baily's obit in the Good Grey Lady: "In recent years he had been running a business consultancy out of an apartment above a Yarmouth hair salon owned by his girlfriend."
	♥ 10:37pm Bruce S.: Perry Mason one of the all time great theme songs
	10:37pm Glistener MW: R.I.P. Phil Hartman
	♥ 10:37pm Little Danny: Nice Simpsons grab!
	♥ 10:38pm Bruce S.: Don adams great
	♥ 10:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Familiar especially w/ F. Lee hosting a drunken Kerouac, Ginsberg & Ed Sanders... & more recently classic formal University debates presenting James Baldwin...
	♥ 10:39pm Nardo: Bilko for president
	♥ 10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this does sizzle...
	10:39pm Andres: You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order!
	♥ 10:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Linc from The Mod Squad passed away this week, Clarence Williams III.
	♥ 10:39pm Franco Twinkie: That is hard to imagine, but we are, old except it. If nothing else I would think everyone has seen Gimme Shelter. That's just the bias of a person on Medicare.
	♥ 10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...used to hear routinely how in the Good Ol' Days @ least you had intellectual Conservatives like F. Lee. Of course the more we learn, the more we hear he was a racist turd in a lumpy suit after all...
	♥ 10:42pm Bruce S.: That sizzle reel was too much and Lambchop great follow up
	10:43pm Rick A: Speaking of old, I saw Lambchop play with Vic Chesnutt at the Bowery Ballroom in January of 98, great show.
	♥ 10:44pm Little Danny: I need to know more about AC&S.
	10:45pm Glistener MW: Me too! This is the best arrangement of this song I’ve ever heard
	♥ 10:45pm Bruce S.: RevRab there were alot of racist,facshist maniacs around in the old days
	10:46pm Glistener MW: Who are AC&S, Ira? Googling now with no luck (apparently there’s an asbestos company with same name)
	♥ 10:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah old drunken Kerouac on F.Lee's was pathetic, depressing - & kinda spontaneous witty Zen Kerouac perfection all @ once...
	♥ 10:50pm John L: I had the same problem Googling AC&S. We must know!
	10:50pm absmiami: Ira think you've played Diabate before - this is really nice - guess we dont know what Kedo means ...
	♥ 10:50pm Ira: AC&S . . . all will be explained . . . presently . . .
	10:50pm georgia: Ira, the people need answers!
	10:52pm PortsmouthJay: AC&S is…
	♥ 10:52pm drowsy: Anton Corbijn and ... ?
	10:53pm absmiami: this bands deserves a much better name than the door knobs ...
	10:53pm Glistener MW: Al Cowlings & Simpson
	10:53pm Andres: The Doors was taken.
	10:53pm absmiami: can we rename them ?
	♥ 10:54pm Bruce S.: Yeah In exile was great
	10:54pm KWilde: How can anyone not love this?
	10:55pm Glistener MW: good ol’ Pete StumbleFell
	10:56pm Parq: Speaking of the Odd Couple, isn't there an episode in which Felix sings "Stumblin'"?
	♥ 10:56pm Bruce S.: The Holy Model rounders kind of fit with the discussion before,not contemprary of course
	10:58pm georgia: is the skipping Reigning Sound song again? so far so good you gave it a good talking to huh
	10:59pm absmiami: that never worked for me ...
	♥ 10:59pm Chop Scott: I miss the Big G. program on the R&S stream.
	♥ 10:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was listening to an interview with Stampfel - & while he was making this recent project of recording all these Classic old songs thru the decades ...sounded a little bit like Richard Thompson's Millennium project - a deep historical dive if maybe only recent Centuries ...& Peter's voice gave out completely in the middle of it - like clinically & totally - Dysphonia...
	11:01pm PortsmouthJay: Really digging that reigning sound LP
	♥ 11:01pm Little Danny: @Rev: Have you heard any of the tracks from said Stampfel project (and how where they)?
	♥ 11:02pm Little Danny: Really digging this set, Ira.
	♥ 11:05pm Bruce S.: This is what I call music
	♥ 11:05pm Gurldoggie: This evening’s whole show is in that very musical and very silly space I was talking about!
	♥ 11:06pm Chop Scott: Opps! Back in the day of Ichiban.
	11:07pm Rick A: Musical, silly, and sexy--it's been sexy from the start.
	♥ 11:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LittleDanny : I wish I remembered what Program I heard this on - some NPR I suppose?... maybe Aquarium Drunkard ?? Well his voice then has became even more of a threshold for listening than it might already have been - quite seriously. Some are pre & some are post this ? Otherwise - the song choice & the intention are of course presenting these 'Hits' of now receding eras in a different light than as outmoded & unrelatable - yerknow - on their own terms rather than as naive from our perspective...
	11:07pm PortsmouthJay: Ira’s loose and havin’ some funn (extra n for numma numma)
	11:11pm Glistener MW: There are skipping CDs on Spotify as well, I’ve found! =} one track on the Pixies’ “Bossanova” album on there - and another incident I can’t recall.
	♥ 11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sure it were this actually : www.npr.org... - & that's all I know.
	♥ 11:15pm greg g: thanks ira and all the tooznighters. have a restful night and a good week...
	♥ 11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe the longer a Pixie track skips on SpottyFees the more nanofractions of a penny they'll get for it...
	♥ 11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nite greg g !
	11:17pm PortsmouthJay: Rev: thanks for that laugh before bed. 😎
	♥ 11:17pm John L: Felix Unger is not the only person to sing "Stumblin' " on that episode. It was also sung by Monty Hall. It all comes together, like an isosceles triangle!
	♥ 11:20pm Gurldoggie: This new Chills is wonderful.
	11:20pm Chapelhillian: I thought this might be the Strawbs
	♥ 11:24pm Yes: good evening
	♥ 11:25pm Bruce S.: This piece is takeing me to wonderland
	11:27pm Andres: The buzz of a hot summer day. Beautiful sounds!
	11:27pm Jedley: I love how the bloop mixes with the crunch
	♥ 11:28pm Bruce S.: I'm getting an underwater carnival for some reason
	11:29pm Jedley: Yeah this could be a Pram song if Rosie's disturbing vox came in now
	11:31pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: This music is spectacular
	11:36pm vj pussycat: good tuesday night ira and all. i’m feeling a bit down for missing most of the program tonight, but thankful to have tuned in at all. love this synthy stuff

	♥ 11:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Ira. I like these brain cool-down sets at the end of your shows. Was that your idea or your producer's?
