WFMU: Old Codger with Courtney T. Edison: Playlist from December 14, 2021

Listener comments!
	♥ 12/11 2:39pm G: Gin was mother's milk to her.
	♥ 12/12 2:23pm PigeonsAndRust: Gosh that sounds almost as cheerful as the typical Dalhart disaster song! At least only mother is dead
	12/12 9:47pm Lolabelle Pancake: It's so nice to meet early birds on the comments forum. I generally spend Wednesday to Monday (metaphorically) sweeping up the place, straightening the furniture, wiping up spills and stains, and airing out the poutin' shanty. As you can imagine, by the time Courtney finishes his Tuesday program, the premises reflect the aftermath of a ruckus at best, a battle royal at worst. I take my responsibilities seriously.
	12/13 5:40pm zopa: Presumably, Little Effie Parkhurst never married.
	10:53am Pierre Delecto: So much of what I hear on this station reminds me of large stones being thrown into a dump-cart.
	2:48pm Listener Robert: Pierre, you mean they're hard rock that's never getting out again?
	♥ 6:24pm G: Note: This playlist is still being updated.
	♥ 6:28pm G: @Pierre Delecto: Just stay under control during Music of Mind Control.
	♥ 7:01pm ultradamno: An oasis of quality between the cult music and Morry's Coney Island
	♥ 7:01pm Bruce S.: from the sacred to the sublime
	♥ 7:01pm spodiodi: it smells lovely in here!
	♥ 7:02pm dale: oh - i see i'm very late. but to be fair i was getting my quinine treatment for malaria
	7:03pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: UltraDammy, I always look forward to Tuesdays with Morry.
	7:04pm Lolabelle Pancake: I don't know if he spells his name Morry, Morey, Maury, or Maurie. Does anyone know?
	♥ 7:05pm Webhamster Henry: We're all signing the pledge after the show, we promise!
	♥ 7:05pm dale: i go with 'maury.' the amsterdam family always knows.
	7:05pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: I prefer Morrie.
	♥ 7:05pm spodiodi: i called him pops
	♥ 7:07pm ultradamno: His ambient recordings of the boardwalk are not without their charms, I agree.
	♥ 7:08pm dale: pumpkiin? oh. i prefer tobacco and kerosene.
	7:08pm Laura L: When he's feeling woozy, he spells it Moiré.
	♥ 7:09pm Bruce S.: cutting edge, thats how i'd describe this show
	♥ 7:10pm G: Is this better than lead cosmetics, like the other week?
	♥ 7:11pm dale: i still have my alarm clock with the miracle numerals that glow t night all by the wonders of paint measured in half lifes.
	♥ 7:11pm Bruce S.: Don't forget to send in your stool samples
	7:12pm Lolabelle Pancake: Now you're cookin' with Gamma!
	7:12pm Laura L: No more late-night trips to the dump! Thank you, Delbarton!
	7:13pm Seedy: Delbarton has my back!!!
	7:13pm Listener Robert: I recall the industry came out with a better sounding term for gamma-irradiated foods some years ago. Something like, "treated with radiant energy".
	7:14pm Euneeda S. Bodenheim: I can personally recommend it. I've been enjoying five-minute frankfurter bakes all month thanks to the Gamma Gourmet!
	♥ 7:14pm Webhamster Henry: Serve it up in that Uranium enhanced Fiestaware!
	7:14pm middlebun: Thought we needed radium for glow in the dark stuff.
	7:15pm Listener Robert: Why turn on the lights in your kitchen and wake up the roaches, when you can find your tools by their own glow?
	♥ 7:15pm Bruce S.: who knows,you may end up with super powers
	♥ 7:16pm G: Drillin constantly? Does he work in the oilfields?
	♥ 7:18pm G: Their Bach is worse than their bite.
	7:20pm Glistener MW: I know it’s been a decade or two, but I’m starting to realize that Noel here was actually being “satirical”! 🤔
	♥ 7:22pm G: wiki: "Although popular when performed live (British prime minister Winston Churchill demanded several encores when he first heard it) the humour did not translate well over the wireless and caused some fuss, leading the BBC to ban the song."
	♥ 7:24pm rrg: There's a collection called "This Record Is Not to Be Broadcast: 75 Records Banned by the BBC 1931-1957". Recommended.
	♥ 7:25pm G: @rrg: And there's also a second volume of that.
	7:25pm Glistener MW: Gamma Gourmet! time for a Hulk-B-Q
	♥ 7:26pm G: Ken pinches a quarter so hard he can turn it into three dimes.
	♥ 7:27pm ultradamno: I like this reasonable two step proposal
	♥ 7:30pm G: Gus should go with a speedo.
	♥ 7:30pm Bruce S.: the votes that come in after midnight are as good as the ones before
	♥ 7:31pm ultradamno: Sounds like Gus is getting hip to the new wave
	♥ 7:31pm G: This. Is. Dirty.
	7:31pm Lolabelle Pancake: Too bad Courtney's appeal to the judging committee was denied.
	7:32pm Glistener MW: I’m now picturing Elvis Costello as a giant glowing irradiated city-destroying monster, and kinda like it. Someone animate this!
	♥ 7:32pm G: @ Lolabelle: Stop the steal.
	7:32pm Listener Robert: Where did I see a little while ago a link to the Ritz Bros. doing this in a stagey movie?
	♥ 7:32pm Bruce S.: I was listening to deep blue sea by Mae West, excellent record
	7:33pm Listener Robert: No, wait a minute, that was "Here, Pussy, Pussy".
	♥ 7:36pm spodiodi: murderous thieves <3
	♥ 7:37pm PigeonsAndRust: That was the most amazing Arthur Fields recording I've ever heard!
	♥ 7:42pm G: Just got done listening to two CDs of Louis Jordan (on a UK import compilation), to alleviate that area of my ignorance.
	♥ 7:44pm Bruce S.: kids today don't know what a record is

	♥ 7:45pm Bruce S.: I don't think they even know what a radio is anymore
	7:46pm timinoak: Listen to Hank's voice. Dang.
	7:46pm Lolabelle Pancake: Surface noise on this disc is calibrated at 0.00004-1/2.
	♥ 7:47pm G: Sounds like Hank is in my living room.
	7:49pm Listening Out There: It's grouchy Codger time / It isn't worth a dime...
