	12:05pm Tony Coulter: I love how discogs classifies this as "folk rock, ballad."
	♥ 12:05pm Rich in Washington: This sounds exactly like my nextdoor neighbors in the mid-80s. That's not a band. I meant my actual neighbors.
	♥ 12:06pm David (in London): Yeah, I'd have said it was more rhinoceros fork myself.
	♥ 12:06pm Rich in Washington: As someone who lists new stuff to Discogs often, their genre/styles category selections are a bit limited.
	♥ 12:07pm Little Danny: hello Tony hello all
	♥ 12:07pm chresti: Morning non-hissing forks!
	12:07pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Danny!

And this bit of randomness should be the last I will write for a while. Buried in work, but not on a call, so listening. Cheers.
	♥ 12:13pm David (in London): Hey WR. Good luck with it all. JtotheK, solo mon, salutations.
	12:14pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, WR! Glad your ears are here, even if your eyes aren't.
	♥ 12:14pm JtotheK: Tony - the featured playlist art from the 11/23/2021 program was the artwork for a 11/29/2021 NY Times article. When did you realize your show wielded such influence???
	♥ 12:15pm solo mon: Reminds me a little of fad gadget
	♥ 12:15pm Stanley: "Cool" Tony. Greetings to you. And to all the cool listeners.
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: @ JtotheK: Ha! I noticed that! (and ... heya!)
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, solo mon and Stanley!!
	♥ 12:17pm David (in London): Wotcha Stanley.
	♥ 12:17pm solo mon: This 2.3 Children is amaze!
	12:17pm ARB: ummmmm hi this is my new song
	12:18pm Tony Coulter: ARB! Hey there!
	♥ 12:18pm JtotheK: Tony, if 6 days from now there's a feature article in the Times about Italian artist Enrico Baj -- then you might just be onto something . . .
	♥ 12:18pm JtotheK: *I learn something new every time you share art with us!
	♥ 12:19pm chresti: That guitar
	12:20pm HollyRT: Hi Tony and Cargo-Coulterists (okay, that was a reach). Can only stay a bit but loving this oddball piece
	♥ 12:20pm David (in London): Hi ARB.
	♥ 12:20pm Stanley: Hey-up David.
	12:20pm spodiodi: Hi Tony and everyone👋🖖✌️
	♥ 12:20pm David (in London): Holly, don't apologise, it was ambitious, and I loved it.
	♥ 12:20pm JtotheK: Hiya Arb. I've been enjoying the Arbitrarium on Monday's. Airs at a very hectic household time, so I never have time to join the board. (Same thing for Friday heels, been enjoying those a lot with you and Solo! So thanks to you both!)
	♥ 12:21pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi everyone!
	12:21pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Holly (and the Italians)!!!
	12:22pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, spodi and Jan!!
	♥ 12:23pm David (in London): Yo Spod.
	♥ 12:23pm chresti: Makes me think of Trouble Every Day @2.3 children
	♥ 12:24pm David (in London): This Leopard Society is a bit bloody tasty, Tony.
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Leopards like the taste of blood.
	♥ 12:26pm David (in London): Had the honour to meet the great Eddy Merckx once briefly, at a photographic exhibition. Sadly he arrived by car.
	♥ 12:28pm JtotheK: Arb Book Club: Currently reading 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith. Haven't read a third of the book yet, but there haven't been any salt-price negotiation conversations, or talk of the salt supply chain driving up prices. Must be loaded in the second half of the book.
	♥ 12:28pm Stanley: David, the album title is Eddy Merckz. So I reckon it's a different bloke.
	12:28pm ARB: Hi JtotheK, thanks! Glad to hear it!
	12:29pm ARB: oh and thanks for book club update!
	12:29pm ARB: Hi DiL
	♥ 12:30pm David (in London): Oh, Eddy Merckz! Yeah, of course, the guy who runs that great chip shop in Liege. Nice fellah.
	12:32pm spodiodi: Yo, David
	♥ 12:32pm Little Danny: Patricia Highsmith is one my fave authors j2tk!
	12:34pm TDK60: Hi Tony.
	♥ 12:35pm Asheville Jon: wow, yes, that was an abrupt start! hi Tony!
	♥ 12:35pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. Glamorous Pat used to guest on KBOO programmer Jennifer Robin's show Night of the Living Tongues often. What a trip.
	12:36pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Jon!
	12:38pm Tony Coulter: FYI: The vocalist here (for Big Man on Campus ) is Little Fyodor.
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: Or one of them, I mean. The other is Evan Cantor.
	♥ 12:41pm JtotheK: Hi Danny! Above remarks about other shows applies to you, too - been listening more via archives lately, but enjoying! Re: PH - I have seen the Matt Damon Ripley movie, saw Purple Noon a number of years ago, and Strangers on a Train ... saw Carol - but never read any of the books! Starting with 'Salt' and then likely some Ripley novels.
	12:41pm spodiodi: Nice, Little Fyodor! I was about to compose a message saying I liked the song before reading.
	♥ 12:42pm JtotheK: I'm a bit apprehensive about reading Strangers on a Train simply because of how much I like the film, and the homage with Billy Crystal and Danny Devito. Any PH books in particular you recommend, LD?
	♥ 12:44pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Tony - this is a pretty weird buncha commercials.
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Henry!
	♥ 12:47pm Little Danny: @jason: i love especially Edith's Diary, which perhaps a bit lesser-known, same for People Who Knock on the Door which is pleasantly unsettling. Love Salt and all the Ripley books too of course though the first is the only one i'd probably re-read at this point. Carol is wonderful but i think the film may have bested it.
	♥ 12:48pm Little Danny: i need to rewatch purple noon, i remember loving it
	♥ 12:49pm JtotheK: Thanks, LD! What finally prompted me to start on her books is reading that her letters or something were recently published, which also sounded intriguing. But figured I should read some of the novels, first.
	♥ 12:50pm David (in London): Very sadly, I have to bale now. Thanks Tony. Later groovers.
	♥ 12:50pm Little Danny: oh wow i bet her letters are great! i need to look into that
	12:50pm Tony Coulter: See you, David!
	♥ 12:51pm JtotheK: *LD - correction: Her Diaries and Notebooks have been published. www.nytimes.com...
	12:51pm spodiodi: Aloha, David
	♥ 12:52pm chresti: Later, Davidkins! Hi spodi!\\//
	♥ 12:53pm solo mon: Been driving but LOVING this set sooooo much!
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, solo mon!
	♥ 12:55pm Little Danny: ah, excellent, thanks for the link jason
	12:57pm wendy del formaggio: Tony! I tuned in just in time for the Dirt Clods. I don’t know them, I just like the same. Haha
	12:58pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Wendy!! Nice to see you here! The Dirt Clods = Walls of Genius (sort of)
	1:00pm ARB: I once got as a pickup line "I wrote a book about Chrome"
	♥ 1:01pm StringOFperils: Hi there! re. Patricia Highsmith, I'd like to officially underwrite 'Little Tales of Misogyny'. Blistering satire/great writing.
	1:02pm Tony Coulter: Heya, StringOf Perils!
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: @ ARB: At least that pickup line was laser-targeted. That deserves some credit....
	♥ 1:03pm solo mon: Pet Stalk Boys
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: Ha!
	♥ 1:04pm Little Danny: oh man i haven't read that one stringy
	1:05pm ARB: aww he probably says that to all the girls, haha
	♥ 1:05pm Yvang: Looking forward to your pronunciation of F8TLSTK Tony!
	♥ 1:06pm chresti: A friend of ours told us she was checking out a guy at the dog park in Berkeley until he walked up to her to say that he required a shaved pussy.
	1:06pm Tony Coulter: @ Yvang: Actually, it's easy. It's ... "fatalistic."
	♥ 1:06pm StringOFperils: Chrome the band or Chrome the browser? There's a lot riding on the difference.
	1:07pm ARB: Call me when you're published on Duck Duck Go
	♥ 1:07pm solo mon: And here I was pronouncing it “fatal steak” this whole time.
	♥ 1:08pm Yvang: I was expecting fœtal Elastic or something...
	♥ 1:08pm solo mon: Or Chrome the metal?
	♥ 1:08pm chresti: OLO ARB and solo mon!
	♥ 1:09pm Little Danny: that's so funny, i read that as fatal steak too
	♥ 1:09pm StringOFperils: True. Meeting the writer of a book on chrome, the alloy, could be the beginning of a beautiful thing. Or impossible boredom.
	♥ 1:11pm StringOFperils: Fatal stake is very Buffy.
	♥ 1:11pm solo mon: …She’s a stake fatale…
	♥ 1:12pm chresti: Or Fatal stick
	1:16pm ARB: ISO Chrome the Browser historian
	♥ 1:18pm chresti: You could say: funny, I was on my way to have my teeth chrome plated.
	♥ 1:20pm Yvang: Probably each Capital city from any country has given its name to a band from another country.
	1:21pm ARB: Who wants to play drums in my new band- Bandar Seri Begawan?
	♥ 1:22pm Yvang: I have in mind the french band Ulan Bator.
	1:23pm Tony Coulter: Bands borrow the names of other countries too. For example, there's an early-'80s AOR band from the U.S. called Russia www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:23pm Yvang: Paris (the band) was never famous in France by the way.
	1:24pm Tony Coulter: How about Boston?
	♥ 1:24pm StringOFperils: ASIA?
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: Japan
	1:25pm ARB: Nice also in France
	♥ 1:25pm StringOFperils: America
	♥ 1:25pm Yvang: Of course as many bands are from the US...But maybe they were not from Massachusetts?
	1:26pm Tony Coulter: @ ARB: Ha!
	♥ 1:26pm chresti: There's Kansas
	1:26pm F8TLSTK: We used to rehearse right next door to the band Boston-when they were starting out- I like Paris better.
	♥ 1:26pm StringOFperils: There's China Slick. Her mom was in a band.
	♥ 1:26pm Yvang: There's this french band Indochine but it was a former colony and it changed its name for Vietnam (the country not the band)
	1:28pm Tony Coulter: Then there's Orleans (also a French city!) www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:28pm Yvang: Chicago was a band from Chicago, how redundant!
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: And Boston were from Boston.
	1:29pm ARB: There's a sign when you are driving into Chicago "Welcome to Chicago, home to the people of Illinois" They like redundancy in Chicago
	♥ 1:29pm Yvang: Yes I wrote Chucago and it ruined my point, sorry!
	♥ 1:30pm StringOFperils: I liked the ARt Ensemble calling it Chicongo
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: I'm just glad I can correct my own typos here.
	♥ 1:30pm Yvang: Redundancy is good for bizness
	♥ 1:31pm Yvang: Can you correct listener's comments typos? ah ah!
	♥ 1:32pm chresti: I was born in Illinois, lived in Wheaton but Chicago was my home?
	1:32pm Tony Coulter: @ Yvang: Yes ... I can. See above! (But I try not to do that.)
	♥ 1:33pm Yvang: Wow this is nice! Thanks!
	1:34pm wendy del formaggio: Caravan! I discovered them a few months ago and have really been enjoying their music. I haven’t made it to this album yet, so thanks for the intro, Tony!
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: It's one of their best for sure.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Not sure how they got away with the title of the album, tho.
	♥ 1:45pm chresti: Maybe the innuendo police missed it with the tiny lettering on the album cover, Tony
	♥ 1:47pm Rick from SC: Hey Tony and all. Great show as usual
	♥ 1:47pm chresti: www.discogs.com...
	1:47pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Rick! Thanks!!
	1:49pm Tony Coulter: @ chresti: Good point....
	♥ 1:51pm StringOFperils: Caravan's 1975 album, Cunning Stunts, was the title that really got past the culture police
	♥ 1:51pm Yvang: Perhaps the complete title includes "And I Wish I Were Stoned, don't Worry"
	1:53pm Tony Coulter: There's a great video for this Very Things track: youtu.be...
	♥ 1:54pm coelacanth∅: greetings tony & all
	1:54pm Nick S.: Hey, Tony!
	♥ 1:55pm Yvang: A gorgeous TV set with a tiny screen is featured in this video.
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy there, coel and Nick!
	♥ 1:56pm Yvang: Many greats 7"s today!
	1:57pm Listening Out There: Meetings are done. Whew. Now for...adventures in listening...
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, L.O.T.!
	1:58pm Listening Out There: Hello, Mr. Tony Sir...
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: Notorische Rflxe aka Notorische Reflexe
	♥ 2:03pm Yvang: Rэflэxe
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: This Made for TV single (on now) was produced by John Cale.
	♥ 2:06pm Yvang: Still relevant.
	2:07pm Listening Out There: RE the FMU popup player...with So Afraid of the Russians, it's showing a thumbnail for Def Leppard's "London to Vegas." Gotta like technology...
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Well, this is kinda like Def Leppard.
	2:09pm Listening Out There: I've seen the player do this before, i.e. when I actually stop for a moment and lactually ook at it. Endless fun & surprises...
	♥ 2:23pm chresti: Ha, LOT, the other day it showed Abby Road during.. Wire, I think?
	♥ 2:29pm coelacanth∅: Tony i missed made for tv today but i wonder if you played so afraid of the russians on your show sometime in the 80s? i have it on a cassette, off wfmu. you go back that far right?
	♥ 2:29pm coelacanth∅: ...i mean, your show!
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: My show almost goes that far back. I started in 1990. But I have played that Made for TV cut before, over the years....
	♥ 2:32pm coelacanth∅: the tape could be from the 90s. i gotta find it, see if there's a bit of your 30 years ago voice on it!
	2:33pm Tony Coulter: I'll probably sound like I just huffed some helium.
	2:33pm from Quebec: It (So afraid of the Russians) is on Rich H.'s "Television" premium from a few years ago (certainly not back to the 80s ...)
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: Heya, from Quebec!
	2:36pm from Quebec: No! It's actually on his Cold War premium I think (could have done for both). So a few years earlier
	2:36pm Tony Coulter: I remember that Rich Hazelton comp....
	2:36pm Tony Coulter: The Cold War one, I mean....
	♥ 2:37pm coelacanth∅: rich goes back to pre-archives but i don't think to the 80s. (could be totally mistaken on that)
	♥ 2:38pm coelacanth∅: i have a tape of Irwin and yeah, helium!
	2:39pm Tony Coulter: Irwin, of course, goes back to the '70s, along with a few others.
	2:44pm Julie: oh this is great
	♥ 2:44pm coelacanth∅: i have a recording of who i think is Diane Ferris but i'd like to find out for sure. she's going to town on some honey-roasted cashews on the air and having a cashewgasm from the sound of it! from the 80s.
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Julie!
	2:46pm Julie: hiya Tony!
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: Here's that magic year....
	2:48pm Julie: haha yep! I do look forward to digging into '82 next year!
	♥ 2:50pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony! cheerio, all hi/bye chresti! \\// (been training my computer to be less broken)
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: See you, spodi!
	♥ 2:53pm chresti: Thanks Tony! Bye spodi, rolled up newspaper will learn it!
	2:53pm Julie: I'll be here when Tony is finished, until 7pm! wfmu.org...
	2:55pm F8TLSTK: Great show Tony-very nice!

	♥ 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks Tony, I loved today show !
	2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everyone!! Hope to see you here next time!
	♥ 2:57pm listener james from westwood: Always a delight and today no exception; thanks, Tony!
	♥ 2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tony! ...and all those other great songs more than made up for that bob song!
	♥ 2:58pm WR: Didn't realize that it was a mostly all 7" show. That is one vice I didn't indulge in, collecting 7" records. Can't do it all. THank you Tony! Onward all.

	♥ 12:01pm David (in London): Afternoon Tony and all Coultards!
	12:03pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, heya, hoo ya, Yvang and David!!
	12:05pm Tony Coulter: I love how discogs classifies this as "folk rock, ballad."
	♥ 12:05pm Rich in Washington: This sounds exactly like my nextdoor neighbors in the mid-80s. That's not a band. I meant my actual neighbors.
	♥ 12:06pm David (in London): Yeah, I'd have said it was more rhinoceros fork myself.
	♥ 12:06pm Rich in Washington: As someone who lists new stuff to Discogs often, their genre/styles category selections are a bit limited.
	♥ 12:07pm Little Danny: hello Tony hello all
	♥ 12:07pm chresti: Morning non-hissing forks!
	12:07pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Danny!
	12:08pm Tony Coulter: ... and chresti too!

And this bit of randomness should be the last I will write for a while. Buried in work, but not on a call, so listening. Cheers.
	♥ 12:13pm David (in London): Hey WR. Good luck with it all. JtotheK, solo mon, salutations.
	12:14pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, WR! Glad your ears are here, even if your eyes aren't.
	♥ 12:14pm JtotheK: Tony - the featured playlist art from the 11/23/2021 program was the artwork for a 11/29/2021 NY Times article. When did you realize your show wielded such influence???
	♥ 12:15pm solo mon: Reminds me a little of fad gadget
	♥ 12:15pm Stanley: "Cool" Tony. Greetings to you. And to all the cool listeners.
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: @ JtotheK: Ha! I noticed that! (and ... heya!)
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, solo mon and Stanley!!
	♥ 12:17pm David (in London): Wotcha Stanley.
	♥ 12:17pm solo mon: This 2.3 Children is amaze!
	12:17pm ARB: ummmmm hi this is my new song
	12:18pm Tony Coulter: ARB! Hey there!
	♥ 12:18pm JtotheK: Tony, if 6 days from now there's a feature article in the Times about Italian artist Enrico Baj -- then you might just be onto something . . .
	♥ 12:18pm JtotheK: *I learn something new every time you share art with us!
	♥ 12:19pm chresti: That guitar
	12:20pm HollyRT: Hi Tony and Cargo-Coulterists (okay, that was a reach). Can only stay a bit but loving this oddball piece
	♥ 12:20pm David (in London): Hi ARB.
	♥ 12:20pm Stanley: Hey-up David.
	12:20pm spodiodi: Hi Tony and everyone👋🖖✌️
	♥ 12:20pm David (in London): Holly, don't apologise, it was ambitious, and I loved it.
	♥ 12:20pm JtotheK: Hiya Arb. I've been enjoying the Arbitrarium on Monday's. Airs at a very hectic household time, so I never have time to join the board. (Same thing for Friday heels, been enjoying those a lot with you and Solo! So thanks to you both!)
	♥ 12:21pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi everyone!
	12:21pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Holly (and the Italians)!!!
	12:22pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, spodi and Jan!!
	♥ 12:23pm David (in London): Yo Spod.
	♥ 12:23pm chresti: Makes me think of Trouble Every Day @2.3 children
	♥ 12:24pm David (in London): This Leopard Society is a bit bloody tasty, Tony.
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Leopards like the taste of blood.
	♥ 12:26pm David (in London): Had the honour to meet the great Eddy Merckx once briefly, at a photographic exhibition. Sadly he arrived by car.
	♥ 12:28pm JtotheK: Arb Book Club: Currently reading 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith. Haven't read a third of the book yet, but there haven't been any salt-price negotiation conversations, or talk of the salt supply chain driving up prices. Must be loaded in the second half of the book.
	♥ 12:28pm Stanley: David, the album title is Eddy Merckz. So I reckon it's a different bloke.
	12:28pm ARB: Hi JtotheK, thanks! Glad to hear it!
	12:29pm ARB: oh and thanks for book club update!
	12:29pm ARB: Hi DiL
	♥ 12:30pm David (in London): Oh, Eddy Merckz! Yeah, of course, the guy who runs that great chip shop in Liege. Nice fellah.
	12:32pm spodiodi: Yo, David
	♥ 12:32pm Little Danny: Patricia Highsmith is one my fave authors j2tk!
	12:34pm TDK60: Hi Tony.
	♥ 12:35pm Asheville Jon: wow, yes, that was an abrupt start! hi Tony!
	♥ 12:35pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. Glamorous Pat used to guest on KBOO programmer Jennifer Robin's show Night of the Living Tongues often. What a trip.
	12:36pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Jon!
	12:38pm Tony Coulter: FYI: The vocalist here (for Big Man on Campus ) is Little Fyodor.
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: Or one of them, I mean. The other is Evan Cantor.
	♥ 12:41pm JtotheK: Hi Danny! Above remarks about other shows applies to you, too - been listening more via archives lately, but enjoying! Re: PH - I have seen the Matt Damon Ripley movie, saw Purple Noon a number of years ago, and Strangers on a Train ... saw Carol - but never read any of the books! Starting with 'Salt' and then likely some Ripley novels.
	12:41pm spodiodi: Nice, Little Fyodor! I was about to compose a message saying I liked the song before reading.
	♥ 12:42pm JtotheK: I'm a bit apprehensive about reading Strangers on a Train simply because of how much I like the film, and the homage with Billy Crystal and Danny Devito. Any PH books in particular you recommend, LD?
	♥ 12:44pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Tony - this is a pretty weird buncha commercials.
	12:45pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Henry!
	♥ 12:47pm Little Danny: @jason: i love especially Edith's Diary, which perhaps a bit lesser-known, same for People Who Knock on the Door which is pleasantly unsettling. Love Salt and all the Ripley books too of course though the first is the only one i'd probably re-read at this point. Carol is wonderful but i think the film may have bested it.
	♥ 12:48pm Little Danny: i need to rewatch purple noon, i remember loving it
	♥ 12:49pm JtotheK: Thanks, LD! What finally prompted me to start on her books is reading that her letters or something were recently published, which also sounded intriguing. But figured I should read some of the novels, first.
	♥ 12:50pm David (in London): Very sadly, I have to bale now. Thanks Tony. Later groovers.
	♥ 12:50pm Little Danny: oh wow i bet her letters are great! i need to look into that
	12:50pm Tony Coulter: See you, David!
	♥ 12:51pm JtotheK: *LD - correction: Her Diaries and Notebooks have been published. www.nytimes.com...
	12:51pm spodiodi: Aloha, David
	♥ 12:52pm chresti: Later, Davidkins! Hi spodi!\\//
	♥ 12:53pm solo mon: Been driving but LOVING this set sooooo much!
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, solo mon!
	♥ 12:55pm Little Danny: ah, excellent, thanks for the link jason
	12:57pm wendy del formaggio: Tony! I tuned in just in time for the Dirt Clods. I don’t know them, I just like the same. Haha
	12:58pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Wendy!! Nice to see you here! The Dirt Clods = Walls of Genius (sort of)
	1:00pm ARB: I once got as a pickup line "I wrote a book about Chrome"
	♥ 1:01pm StringOFperils: Hi there! re. Patricia Highsmith, I'd like to officially underwrite 'Little Tales of Misogyny'. Blistering satire/great writing.
	1:02pm Tony Coulter: Heya, StringOf Perils!
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: @ ARB: At least that pickup line was laser-targeted. That deserves some credit....
	♥ 1:03pm solo mon: Pet Stalk Boys
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: Ha!
	♥ 1:04pm Little Danny: oh man i haven't read that one stringy
	1:05pm ARB: aww he probably says that to all the girls, haha
	♥ 1:05pm Yvang: Looking forward to your pronunciation of F8TLSTK Tony!
	♥ 1:06pm chresti: A friend of ours told us she was checking out a guy at the dog park in Berkeley until he walked up to her to say that he required a shaved pussy.
	1:06pm Tony Coulter: @ Yvang: Actually, it's easy. It's ... "fatalistic."
	♥ 1:06pm StringOFperils: Chrome the band or Chrome the browser? There's a lot riding on the difference.
	1:07pm ARB: Call me when you're published on Duck Duck Go
	♥ 1:07pm solo mon: And here I was pronouncing it “fatal steak” this whole time.
	♥ 1:08pm Yvang: I was expecting fœtal Elastic or something...
	♥ 1:08pm solo mon: Or Chrome the metal?
	♥ 1:08pm chresti: OLO ARB and solo mon!
	♥ 1:09pm Little Danny: that's so funny, i read that as fatal steak too
	♥ 1:09pm StringOFperils: True. Meeting the writer of a book on chrome, the alloy, could be the beginning of a beautiful thing. Or impossible boredom.
	♥ 1:11pm StringOFperils: Fatal stake is very Buffy.
	♥ 1:11pm solo mon: …She’s a stake fatale…
	♥ 1:12pm chresti: Or Fatal stick
	1:16pm ARB: ISO Chrome the Browser historian
	♥ 1:18pm chresti: You could say: funny, I was on my way to have my teeth chrome plated.
	♥ 1:20pm Yvang: Probably each Capital city from any country has given its name to a band from another country.
	1:21pm ARB: Who wants to play drums in my new band- Bandar Seri Begawan?
	♥ 1:22pm Yvang: I have in mind the french band Ulan Bator.
	1:23pm Tony Coulter: Bands borrow the names of other countries too. For example, there's an early-'80s AOR band from the U.S. called Russia www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:23pm Yvang: Paris (the band) was never famous in France by the way.
	1:24pm Tony Coulter: How about Boston?
	♥ 1:24pm StringOFperils: ASIA?
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: Japan
	1:25pm ARB: Nice also in France
	♥ 1:25pm StringOFperils: America
	♥ 1:25pm Yvang: Of course as many bands are from the US...But maybe they were not from Massachusetts?
	1:26pm Tony Coulter: @ ARB: Ha!
	♥ 1:26pm chresti: There's Kansas
	1:26pm F8TLSTK: We used to rehearse right next door to the band Boston-when they were starting out- I like Paris better.
	♥ 1:26pm StringOFperils: There's China Slick. Her mom was in a band.
	♥ 1:26pm Yvang: There's this french band Indochine but it was a former colony and it changed its name for Vietnam (the country not the band)
	1:28pm Tony Coulter: Then there's Orleans (also a French city!) www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:28pm Yvang: Chicago was a band from Chicago, how redundant!
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: And Boston were from Boston.
	1:29pm ARB: There's a sign when you are driving into Chicago "Welcome to Chicago, home to the people of Illinois" They like redundancy in Chicago
	♥ 1:29pm Yvang: Yes I wrote Chucago and it ruined my point, sorry!
	♥ 1:30pm StringOFperils: I liked the ARt Ensemble calling it Chicongo
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: I'm just glad I can correct my own typos here.
	♥ 1:30pm Yvang: Redundancy is good for bizness
	♥ 1:31pm Yvang: Can you correct listener's comments typos? ah ah!
	♥ 1:32pm chresti: I was born in Illinois, lived in Wheaton but Chicago was my home?
	1:32pm Tony Coulter: @ Yvang: Yes ... I can. See above! (But I try not to do that.)
	♥ 1:33pm Yvang: Wow this is nice! Thanks!
	1:34pm wendy del formaggio: Caravan! I discovered them a few months ago and have really been enjoying their music. I haven’t made it to this album yet, so thanks for the intro, Tony!
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: It's one of their best for sure.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Not sure how they got away with the title of the album, tho.
	♥ 1:45pm chresti: Maybe the innuendo police missed it with the tiny lettering on the album cover, Tony
	♥ 1:47pm Rick from SC: Hey Tony and all. Great show as usual
	♥ 1:47pm chresti: www.discogs.com...
	1:47pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Rick! Thanks!!
	1:49pm Tony Coulter: @ chresti: Good point....
	♥ 1:51pm StringOFperils: Caravan's 1975 album, Cunning Stunts, was the title that really got past the culture police
	♥ 1:51pm Yvang: Perhaps the complete title includes "And I Wish I Were Stoned, don't Worry"
	1:53pm Tony Coulter: There's a great video for this Very Things track: youtu.be...
	♥ 1:54pm coelacanth∅: greetings tony & all
	1:54pm Nick S.: Hey, Tony!
	♥ 1:55pm Yvang: A gorgeous TV set with a tiny screen is featured in this video.
	1:55pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy there, coel and Nick!
	♥ 1:56pm Yvang: Many greats 7"s today!
	1:57pm Listening Out There: Meetings are done. Whew. Now for...adventures in listening...
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, L.O.T.!
	1:58pm Listening Out There: Hello, Mr. Tony Sir...
	2:00pm Tony Coulter: Notorische Rflxe aka Notorische Reflexe
	♥ 2:03pm Yvang: Rэflэxe
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: This Made for TV single (on now) was produced by John Cale.
	♥ 2:06pm Yvang: Still relevant.
	2:07pm Listening Out There: RE the FMU popup player...with So Afraid of the Russians, it's showing a thumbnail for Def Leppard's "London to Vegas." Gotta like technology...
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Well, this is kinda like Def Leppard.
	2:09pm Listening Out There: I've seen the player do this before, i.e. when I actually stop for a moment and lactually ook at it. Endless fun & surprises...
	♥ 2:23pm chresti: Ha, LOT, the other day it showed Abby Road during.. Wire, I think?
	♥ 2:29pm coelacanth∅: Tony i missed made for tv today but i wonder if you played so afraid of the russians on your show sometime in the 80s? i have it on a cassette, off wfmu. you go back that far right?
	♥ 2:29pm coelacanth∅: ...i mean, your show!
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: My show almost goes that far back. I started in 1990. But I have played that Made for TV cut before, over the years....
	♥ 2:32pm coelacanth∅: the tape could be from the 90s. i gotta find it, see if there's a bit of your 30 years ago voice on it!
	2:33pm Tony Coulter: I'll probably sound like I just huffed some helium.
	2:33pm from Quebec: It (So afraid of the Russians) is on Rich H.'s "Television" premium from a few years ago (certainly not back to the 80s ...)
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: Heya, from Quebec!
	2:36pm from Quebec: No! It's actually on his Cold War premium I think (could have done for both). So a few years earlier
	2:36pm Tony Coulter: I remember that Rich Hazelton comp....
	2:36pm Tony Coulter: The Cold War one, I mean....
	♥ 2:37pm coelacanth∅: rich goes back to pre-archives but i don't think to the 80s. (could be totally mistaken on that)
	♥ 2:38pm coelacanth∅: i have a tape of Irwin and yeah, helium!
	2:39pm Tony Coulter: Irwin, of course, goes back to the '70s, along with a few others.
	2:44pm Julie: oh this is great
	♥ 2:44pm coelacanth∅: i have a recording of who i think is Diane Ferris but i'd like to find out for sure. she's going to town on some honey-roasted cashews on the air and having a cashewgasm from the sound of it! from the 80s.
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Julie!
	2:46pm Julie: hiya Tony!
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: Here's that magic year....
	2:48pm Julie: haha yep! I do look forward to digging into '82 next year!
	♥ 2:50pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony! cheerio, all hi/bye chresti! \\// (been training my computer to be less broken)
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: See you, spodi!
	♥ 2:53pm chresti: Thanks Tony! Bye spodi, rolled up newspaper will learn it!
	2:53pm Julie: I'll be here when Tony is finished, until 7pm! wfmu.org...

	♥ 2:57pm listener james from westwood: Always a delight and today no exception; thanks, Tony!
	♥ 2:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tony! ...and all those other great songs more than made up for that bob song!
	♥ 2:58pm WR: Didn't realize that it was a mostly all 7" show. That is one vice I didn't indulge in, collecting 7" records. Can't do it all. THank you Tony! Onward all.
