	9:09pm luka: i almost fell over when i found a copy of Script of the Bridge a few years back, even if it is the goofy 8 song version.
	9:10pm Ike: Hi all! @sheila, after the story you told today, any time my cats swat at things I can't see, I'm going to assume they're destroying some minuscule demonic warships that are trying to plug their USB cables into me. Hence, cats are light workers. I have spoken! ;)
	🥀 9:10pm B R M: Hello @Mona & all... back and forth between the browser window and enjoying the show away from this screen, but here with you always! 🖤

	9:15pm Sunny: Nice to hear peak Moz
	9:15pm Hubig Pie: Carve my name in your arm with a fountain pen.....
	9:15pm ShelbyG: oooooohhhh, The Smiths always make me happy Up The Runza's!
	9:16pm mariano: Up the Runzas, ShelbyG!
	9:16pm chris_in_space: Hey all! Love the slightly different tone of this version of "Rusholme Ruffians".
	9:17pm ShelbyG: it's been a minute, mariano! How are you?
	🥀 9:17pm karlward: Whatever happened to the bassist from the Smiths?
	9:17pm Andres: Hi, Mona! Hey, all! I caught one of my kids trying to sneak my Meat Is Murder t-shirt!
	🥀 9:18pm karlward: djsheilab: please loan me a cat, I have the rest
	🥀 9:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Haha! Glad the cookies worked out. Thanks to the fast and efficient US postal system!
	9:21pm Mona: andy rourke lives in nyc i think...at least he used to before all this roni business
	9:21pm Ik乇: (All joking aside, I wish I was as brave as Sheila. I am very worried about what darkness I'd find... in there.)
	9:21pm Andres: chris_in_space: I’ll catch that GBV show next time I hope ;)
	9:22pm ShelbyG: any chance for some Japan?
	🥀 9:22pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Mona and all!!!
	9:22pm mariano: Good, thanks, ShelbyG! Really busy with work, so I've been mainly lurking these days. How've you been?
	🥀 9:23pm karlward: First heard this Orange Juice on Surface Noise, I think. Every time I hear Orange Juice I'm always so happy. However I know nothing about them, because every time I think of them I look them up with variations on "Orange Juice band" and "Orange Juice Manchester" and I get nowhere, and wander off.
	9:23pm chad from oregon: Falling & Laughing is always a good time.
	9:24pm chad from oregon: Try Orange Juice Edwyn.
	🥀 9:24pm karlward: Oh I found it, here goes: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:24pm DjLorraine: Shelby!
	9:25pm ShelbyG: Sorta excited, mariano. My husband's had his 6 mos. in the UK making money, so we can submit the spousal visa application. If things go well, I hope to be living in Devon by March. I'm also being encouraged to have a radio show on WGDR, a local community radio station here in VT. I just need a show name. I'm really engaged with my creativity rn. HOLY SHIT, MONA! THANK YOU FOR THE JAPAN!!! I love this band.
	9:25pm Andres: SjelbyG called it!
	9:26pm ShelbyG: damn, I love this band...saw David Sylvian w/Ryuchi Sakamoto in Minneapolish at The Guthrie back in the 80's! thank you thank you
	🥀 9:27pm karlward: Those Scots in Orange Juice have a record called "Texas Fever"? OK, now they are just trolling me, from the past.
	9:28pm mariano: Nice, ShelbyG! Always wanted to visit Devon. Glad to hear things are going well. :)
	9:29pm ShelbyG: thank you, mariano, my friend!
	9:29pm JohnEBGood: Peace. Rock on Mona and WFMU family.
	9:29pm ShelbyG: Devon is ridiculously beautiful..and...it's England ffs
	9:31pm ShelbyG: Hi DjL!
	9:31pm Andres: “Devon is renowned for an assortment of things such as its spectacular coastline, beautiful beaches and of course the Devonshire cream tea, all making it a popular holiday destination.” Sounds okay ;)
	9:32pm JohnEBGood: you good in Texas Mario?
	9:34pm ShelbyG: Andres: I love it there. I have been sorta nomadic for the last 20 yrs. I felt like I was "home" there. My favorite part of Devon is the sea, the Jurassic Coast (found ammonite fossils there 160 million years old), pirate graveyards, hidden pathways. The history, both natural & people, is just magical. And, lots of mushrooms!
	9:35pm ShelbyG: and my husband <3
	9:37pm ShelbyG: I will try not to make this too long. I lived in Lincoln, NE in the late 80's/early 90's. The Psychic TV crowd had quite a following. Thee Temple of Psychic Youth had a handhold. I knew people that sent their pubic hair & menstrual blood to some sort of PTV headquarters. It was so weird!
	9:37pm ShelbyG: DANCEFLOOR
	9:38pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG we almost certainly met.
	9:39pm phat in Lincoln: RIP Steve Bronski
	9:39pm Andres: Digging this Bronski Beat! Making me think of a Dead Or Alive song but can’t place which one.
	9:40pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG and there's almost no chance I didn't know who you're talking about with the PTV stuff.
	9:40pm phat in Lincoln: @Andres all of them. Lol.
	9:41pm ShelbyG: @phat: we need to figure this out I LOVE YOU MONA
	9:41pm Andres: phat: Yes! That’s why I can’t figure it!
	9:42pm ShelbyG: phat: we need to talk..
	9:42pm delphine: nowhere girl one of my favorite songs <3
	9:44pm Mona: Ms blue is that you??
	9:44pm Andres: Shelby, sounds so great and happy to hear you’ll be there soon!
	9:44pm listener 126464: Good one
	9:46pm ShelbyG: @phat: how do I connect with you? I'm super curious who our mutual friends are. Did you go to The Boardwalk?
	9:49pm JohnEBGood: Cool and groovy. Rock on!!
	9:49pm Andres: Mona, you should let your computer break more often. Lots of goodness in your vinyl collection!
	9:50pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG I did. I knew a DJ or two there. Although I'm having trouble remembering their names. My Instagram handle: ericaspengren
	9:51pm ShelbyG: @phat: did you know a guy named Paul - he had a boa constrictor or a python...I am trying to remember the woman's name I knew that was sending stuff off to the ToPY. Holy shit. phat. Do you have a sister?
	9:52pm ShelbyG: I don't really do instagram 😬
	9:54pm ShelbyG: Eric: I'm friends with Carla Tisdale. I grew up in Omaha. Graduated 1987 from Millard South.
	9:54pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG I do have an older sister.
	9:55pm ShelbyG: @phat: we totally grew up friends with the same folks..what's your sister's name?
	9:56pm ShelbyG: maiden name was Banta
	9:57pm ShelbyG: I love Gary Numan. Mona, you're killing it tonight. Best show, imho.
	9:58pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG Cynthia. But she didn't live in Lincoln in the 80s. I think I know the Paul you're talking about. And I've known Carl's and her husband for years.
	10:00pm ShelbyG: @phat: let's find a way to take this off the comments board..I have so many questions
	10:01pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG just friended you on Facebook
	10:03pm Sunny: Longtime listeners, first time caller … really great set tonight

	🥀 10:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Squeeze going out to Sheila & little Alvy Singer?

	🥀 10:32pm NickM: I'm conflicted thinking about how Gary Newman and Gary Oldman exists at the same timeline...
	🥀 10:33pm NickM: Sorry, I'm brain dead. Continue without me.
	10:33pm Hubig Pie: ok , I fix it..... I'm an average nobody....get to live the rest of my life like a schnook (cue Sid)
	10:34pm ShelbyG: YES!!!!!!!!!!!! SoM!!!!!!!

	10:37pm luka: my favorite UK snack has to be Monster Munch
	10:38pm Andres: If you drink tea instead of coffee then it’s all good.

	11:05pm listener 126464: Yabby!
	11:05pm ShelbyG: my inner anglophile is very happy, although I think it's not so "inner"
	11:06pm javakid: Luka - Cloudbursting has done that to me too. More recently I heard "Love & Anger" for the first time in many years and it took some strength to not cry.
	11:08pm Andres: While Blur and Oasis were duking it out I was focused on Ride.
	11:10pm ShelbyG: and then there was Sparks
	11:10pm ShelbyG: @Andres: I was more of a Pulp kinda gal
	11:11pm DavidG: I'm new here. SPARKS!
	11:11pm Andres: I had never heard this Sparks album before finding it in a discount bin. Blew my mind when I got it home and played it!
	11:12pm ShelbyG: I do love Damon Albarn. I never really have understood the appeal of Oasis. Shhhhh. I am told, by my hubby, you're not allowed to speak poorly of Oasis in The UK. Whatev's. I think they're average.
	11:13pm ShelbyG: Wecome, DavidG!!
	11:15pm ShelbyG: MONA! UUUUUUGH. I LOVE THIS SONG.
	11:16pm ShelbyG: The Hurting. So. Good.
	11:17pm Andres: Shelby, just make sure Liam isn’t in the room when expressing those opinions and everything should be okay.
	11:17pm @fumanchiuonthis: Best T4F ever !!!
	11:19pm ShelbyG: I was living in Paris for the summer back in 1985 or so when I heard The Hurting for the 1st time. It's been a favorite since then.
	11:22pm DavidG: This is the best radio show I've ever heard! Excellent choices!
	11:24pm HyperDose: Mona, movers, and shakers!
	11:25pm chresti: Hi Mona and mes amis!

	11:39pm Blurry: This is pretty sensational. Thank you Mona. Wish it was Mona till Monday cause I could listen to this all weekend!
	11:41pm ShelbyG: @Blurry: agreed
	11:43pm Blurry: Ok that's weird, I was living in Paris in '85 too, I swear. I saw Orchestral Maneouvres In The Dark, ABC, The Dead Boys, it was endless. We used to go to London on the weekends -- best show was Siouxsie and the Banshees
	11:45pm ShelbyG: Blurry: WOW, lucky!! Do you mind me asking how old you were when you were living there?
	11:46pm Andres: Broadcast to Sonic Boom transition. Great!
	11:46pm RevErie: nice show!
	11:48pm Blurry: I was about 19 years old. I went to University there. Fell in love and flunked out. Ended up working at a radio station in Monmarte, and playing drums, which thank goodness i still do
	11:48pm ShelbyG: Mona, this is the best show I've heard in a long time. Filled with so many memories for me! Met an old/new friend in phat in lincoln. Thank you so, so much for your amazing offerings tonight. I really look forward to next week (if you're dj'ing?). You've set the bar SO HIGH.
	11:48pm phat in Lincoln: Jesus, the Sonic Boom is incredible.
	11:49pm Blurry: Totally agree!
	11:49pm ShelbyG: @Blurry: that's a story! I was 17 when I was there. Nothing so interesting as your story, my guess.
	11:50pm phat in Lincoln: Hell of a show tonight.
	11:50pm Andres: Wow! Should’ve kept digging into Big Star.
	11:51pm Blurry: It sounds good typed up, but it was actually the BIG breakup-- classic heartbreak, but you can't beat Paris for being bummed out. But i worked out! I found the real heartbreaker at a deli in Berkeley CA and it's been true love ever since. Man I'm a sap
	11:51pm Eric the Hat: Mona you fucking RULE! Thanks and have a great week
	11:51pm Mona: thank you thank you! i super appreciate the kind words and good vibes tonight <3 the pleasure was mine!

	11:52pm listener 126464: Thank you Mona!

	🥀 11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona. Have a nice Christmas break. 🎄
	11:55pm phat in Lincoln: @Andres you've never heard their 3rd album. Definitely need to listen to that.
	11:59pm Andres: phat: I need to dig through my cds. Might be there.
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Mona!
	12:00am river: deutsch took me by surprise
	12:00am phat in Lincoln: I am reminded that Heroes is probably the single greatest single ever goddamn recorded.
	12:00am Andres: So great tonight, Mona!! Thank you!! Take care, everyone!
	12:01am radioronan: Thanks Mona!

	🥀 9:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mona and Monatrons!
	9:09pm luka: i almost fell over when i found a copy of Script of the Bridge a few years back, even if it is the goofy 8 song version.
	9:10pm Ike: Hi all! @sheila, after the story you told today, any time my cats swat at things I can't see, I'm going to assume they're destroying some minuscule demonic warships that are trying to plug their USB cables into me. Hence, cats are light workers. I have spoken! ;)
	🥀 9:10pm B R M: Hello @Mona & all... back and forth between the browser window and enjoying the show away from this screen, but here with you always! 🖤
	9:12pm mariano: Hey Mona, folks!
	9:13pm Mona: ken, i got the cookies! THANK YOU SO MUCH it really made my day
	9:14pm luka: dang, what kinda cookies?
	9:15pm Sunny: Nice to hear peak Moz
	9:15pm Hubig Pie: Carve my name in your arm with a fountain pen.....
	9:15pm ShelbyG: oooooohhhh, The Smiths always make me happy Up The Runza's!
	9:16pm mariano: Up the Runzas, ShelbyG!
	9:16pm chris_in_space: Hey all! Love the slightly different tone of this version of "Rusholme Ruffians".
	9:17pm ShelbyG: it's been a minute, mariano! How are you?
	🥀 9:17pm karlward: Whatever happened to the bassist from the Smiths?
	9:17pm Andres: Hi, Mona! Hey, all! I caught one of my kids trying to sneak my Meat Is Murder t-shirt!
	🥀 9:18pm karlward: djsheilab: please loan me a cat, I have the rest
	🥀 9:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Haha! Glad the cookies worked out. Thanks to the fast and efficient US postal system!
	9:21pm Mona: andy rourke lives in nyc i think...at least he used to before all this roni business
	9:21pm Ik乇: (All joking aside, I wish I was as brave as Sheila. I am very worried about what darkness I'd find... in there.)
	9:21pm Andres: chris_in_space: I’ll catch that GBV show next time I hope ;)
	9:22pm ShelbyG: any chance for some Japan?
	🥀 9:22pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Mona and all!!!
	9:22pm mariano: Good, thanks, ShelbyG! Really busy with work, so I've been mainly lurking these days. How've you been?
	🥀 9:23pm karlward: First heard this Orange Juice on Surface Noise, I think. Every time I hear Orange Juice I'm always so happy. However I know nothing about them, because every time I think of them I look them up with variations on "Orange Juice band" and "Orange Juice Manchester" and I get nowhere, and wander off.
	9:23pm chad from oregon: Falling & Laughing is always a good time.
	9:24pm chad from oregon: Try Orange Juice Edwyn.
	🥀 9:24pm karlward: Oh I found it, here goes: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:24pm DjLorraine: Shelby!
	9:25pm ShelbyG: Sorta excited, mariano. My husband's had his 6 mos. in the UK making money, so we can submit the spousal visa application. If things go well, I hope to be living in Devon by March. I'm also being encouraged to have a radio show on WGDR, a local community radio station here in VT. I just need a show name. I'm really engaged with my creativity rn. HOLY SHIT, MONA! THANK YOU FOR THE JAPAN!!! I love this band.
	9:25pm Andres: SjelbyG called it!
	9:26pm ShelbyG: damn, I love this band...saw David Sylvian w/Ryuchi Sakamoto in Minneapolish at The Guthrie back in the 80's! thank you thank you
	🥀 9:27pm karlward: Those Scots in Orange Juice have a record called "Texas Fever"? OK, now they are just trolling me, from the past.
	9:28pm mariano: Nice, ShelbyG! Always wanted to visit Devon. Glad to hear things are going well. :)
	9:29pm ShelbyG: thank you, mariano, my friend!
	9:29pm JohnEBGood: Peace. Rock on Mona and WFMU family.
	9:29pm ShelbyG: Devon is ridiculously beautiful..and...it's England ffs
	9:31pm ShelbyG: Hi DjL!
	9:31pm Andres: “Devon is renowned for an assortment of things such as its spectacular coastline, beautiful beaches and of course the Devonshire cream tea, all making it a popular holiday destination.” Sounds okay ;)
	9:32pm JohnEBGood: you good in Texas Mario?
	9:34pm ShelbyG: Andres: I love it there. I have been sorta nomadic for the last 20 yrs. I felt like I was "home" there. My favorite part of Devon is the sea, the Jurassic Coast (found ammonite fossils there 160 million years old), pirate graveyards, hidden pathways. The history, both natural & people, is just magical. And, lots of mushrooms!
	9:35pm ShelbyG: and my husband <3
	9:37pm ShelbyG: I will try not to make this too long. I lived in Lincoln, NE in the late 80's/early 90's. The Psychic TV crowd had quite a following. Thee Temple of Psychic Youth had a handhold. I knew people that sent their pubic hair & menstrual blood to some sort of PTV headquarters. It was so weird!
	9:37pm ShelbyG: DANCEFLOOR
	9:38pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG we almost certainly met.
	9:39pm phat in Lincoln: RIP Steve Bronski
	9:39pm Andres: Digging this Bronski Beat! Making me think of a Dead Or Alive song but can’t place which one.
	9:40pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG and there's almost no chance I didn't know who you're talking about with the PTV stuff.
	9:40pm phat in Lincoln: @Andres all of them. Lol.
	9:41pm ShelbyG: @phat: we need to figure this out I LOVE YOU MONA
	9:41pm Andres: phat: Yes! That’s why I can’t figure it!
	9:42pm ShelbyG: phat: we need to talk..
	9:42pm delphine: nowhere girl one of my favorite songs <3
	9:44pm Mona: Ms blue is that you??
	9:44pm Andres: Shelby, sounds so great and happy to hear you’ll be there soon!
	9:44pm listener 126464: Good one
	9:46pm ShelbyG: @phat: how do I connect with you? I'm super curious who our mutual friends are. Did you go to The Boardwalk?
	9:49pm JohnEBGood: Cool and groovy. Rock on!!
	9:49pm Andres: Mona, you should let your computer break more often. Lots of goodness in your vinyl collection!
	9:50pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG I did. I knew a DJ or two there. Although I'm having trouble remembering their names. My Instagram handle: ericaspengren
	9:51pm ShelbyG: @phat: did you know a guy named Paul - he had a boa constrictor or a python...I am trying to remember the woman's name I knew that was sending stuff off to the ToPY. Holy shit. phat. Do you have a sister?
	9:52pm ShelbyG: I don't really do instagram 😬
	9:54pm ShelbyG: Eric: I'm friends with Carla Tisdale. I grew up in Omaha. Graduated 1987 from Millard South.
	9:54pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG I do have an older sister.
	9:55pm ShelbyG: @phat: we totally grew up friends with the same folks..what's your sister's name?
	9:56pm ShelbyG: maiden name was Banta
	9:57pm ShelbyG: I love Gary Numan. Mona, you're killing it tonight. Best show, imho.
	9:58pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG Cynthia. But she didn't live in Lincoln in the 80s. I think I know the Paul you're talking about. And I've known Carl's and her husband for years.
	10:00pm ShelbyG: @phat: let's find a way to take this off the comments board..I have so many questions
	10:01pm phat in Lincoln: @ShelbyG just friended you on Facebook
	10:03pm Sunny: Longtime listeners, first time caller … really great set tonight

	10:17pm Andres: Thumbs up from all the felines around here!
	🥀 10:17pm Ciggy: Hi Mona. I'm searching for something, but I don't know what it is. Cool Cat was my nickname in the late 60s
	🥀 10:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Squeeze going out to Sheila & little Alvy Singer?
	10:19pm ShelbyG: I could be riiiiiiight.
	10:20pm RevErie: I could be wrong-a
	10:23pm DjLorraine: I saw this song live
	10:24pm headcleaner: So does anyone know what the Bryce story is? Do we still have Bryce? That was quite a lot to wrap my head around, earlier today
	10:25pm Andres: Crowd singalong, DjLorraine?
	10:25pm ShelbyG: hahahahah
	10:25pm Andres: Sounded good at other speed!
	10:28pm Andres: First movie I saw with Gary Oldman.
	🥀 10:28pm NickM: When do I get to feel like Sid Vicious felt?
	10:28pm ShelbyG: How many times did I see Sid & Nancy in the theater..too many times
	10:28pm DjLorraine: Andres yes
	10:28pm ShelbyG: @Andres: me too...I fell in love
	10:29pm Hubig Pie: I'm just an average everyday shnook (something like that)
	10:31pm ShelbyG: this is making me want to hear Siouxsie
	10:31pm Mike tp: vice is nice
	🥀 10:32pm NickM: I'm conflicted thinking about how Gary Newman and Gary Oldman exists at the same timeline...
	🥀 10:33pm NickM: Sorry, I'm brain dead. Continue without me.
	10:33pm Hubig Pie: ok , I fix it..... I'm an average nobody....get to live the rest of my life like a schnook (cue Sid)
	10:34pm ShelbyG: YES!!!!!!!!!!!! SoM!!!!!!!
	10:35pm ShelbyG: My mother-in-law sent me a lil care package from England. How are they not all 300 lbs/ 30 stones or whatever??? Such good snack food!
	10:36pm luka: somethin about egg noodles and ketchup
	10:37pm luka: my favorite UK snack has to be Monster Munch
	10:38pm Andres: If you drink tea instead of coffee then it’s all good.
	10:38pm Eric the Hat: On fire tonight, Mona. Highly appreciated!
	10:38pm Cooh John: Hi ShelbyG.
	10:39pm ShelbyG: I drink both. And both with sugar & cream/milk. Mona is EN FUEGO!

	10:53pm phat in Lincoln: Let's exchange the experience.
	10:55pm luka: i heard “cloudbursting” for the first time/long time a couple weeks back and thought my heart might explode
	10:56pm phat in Lincoln: Been contemplating a Kate Bush cover and I want to do this, but it's been done. Might do Cloudbusting.

	11:05pm listener 126464: Yabby!
	11:05pm ShelbyG: my inner anglophile is very happy, although I think it's not so "inner"
	11:06pm javakid: Luka - Cloudbursting has done that to me too. More recently I heard "Love & Anger" for the first time in many years and it took some strength to not cry.
	11:08pm Andres: While Blur and Oasis were duking it out I was focused on Ride.
	11:10pm ShelbyG: and then there was Sparks
	11:10pm ShelbyG: @Andres: I was more of a Pulp kinda gal
	11:11pm DavidG: I'm new here. SPARKS!
	11:11pm Andres: I had never heard this Sparks album before finding it in a discount bin. Blew my mind when I got it home and played it!
	11:12pm ShelbyG: I do love Damon Albarn. I never really have understood the appeal of Oasis. Shhhhh. I am told, by my hubby, you're not allowed to speak poorly of Oasis in The UK. Whatev's. I think they're average.
	11:13pm ShelbyG: Wecome, DavidG!!
	11:15pm ShelbyG: MONA! UUUUUUGH. I LOVE THIS SONG.
	11:16pm ShelbyG: The Hurting. So. Good.
	11:17pm Andres: Shelby, just make sure Liam isn’t in the room when expressing those opinions and everything should be okay.
	11:17pm @fumanchiuonthis: Best T4F ever !!!
	11:19pm ShelbyG: I was living in Paris for the summer back in 1985 or so when I heard The Hurting for the 1st time. It's been a favorite since then.
	11:22pm DavidG: This is the best radio show I've ever heard! Excellent choices!
	11:24pm HyperDose: Mona, movers, and shakers!
	11:25pm chresti: Hi Mona and mes amis!

	11:39pm ShelbyG: @eep: explain please..this show is nostalgia filled giddiness/gold
	11:39pm Blurry: This is pretty sensational. Thank you Mona. Wish it was Mona till Monday cause I could listen to this all weekend!
	11:41pm ShelbyG: @Blurry: agreed
	11:43pm Blurry: Ok that's weird, I was living in Paris in '85 too, I swear. I saw Orchestral Maneouvres In The Dark, ABC, The Dead Boys, it was endless. We used to go to London on the weekends -- best show was Siouxsie and the Banshees
	11:45pm ShelbyG: Blurry: WOW, lucky!! Do you mind me asking how old you were when you were living there?
	11:46pm Andres: Broadcast to Sonic Boom transition. Great!
	11:46pm RevErie: nice show!
	11:48pm Blurry: I was about 19 years old. I went to University there. Fell in love and flunked out. Ended up working at a radio station in Monmarte, and playing drums, which thank goodness i still do
	11:48pm ShelbyG: Mona, this is the best show I've heard in a long time. Filled with so many memories for me! Met an old/new friend in phat in lincoln. Thank you so, so much for your amazing offerings tonight. I really look forward to next week (if you're dj'ing?). You've set the bar SO HIGH.
	11:48pm phat in Lincoln: Jesus, the Sonic Boom is incredible.
	11:49pm Blurry: Totally agree!
	11:49pm ShelbyG: @Blurry: that's a story! I was 17 when I was there. Nothing so interesting as your story, my guess.
	11:50pm phat in Lincoln: Hell of a show tonight.
	11:50pm Andres: Wow! Should’ve kept digging into Big Star.
	11:51pm Blurry: It sounds good typed up, but it was actually the BIG breakup-- classic heartbreak, but you can't beat Paris for being bummed out. But i worked out! I found the real heartbreaker at a deli in Berkeley CA and it's been true love ever since. Man I'm a sap
	11:51pm Eric the Hat: Mona you fucking RULE! Thanks and have a great week
	11:51pm Mona: thank you thank you! i super appreciate the kind words and good vibes tonight <3 the pleasure was mine!

	🥀 11:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona. Have a nice Christmas break. 🎄
	11:55pm phat in Lincoln: @Andres you've never heard their 3rd album. Definitely need to listen to that.
	11:59pm Andres: phat: I need to dig through my cds. Might be there.
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Mona!
	12:00am river: deutsch took me by surprise
	12:00am phat in Lincoln: I am reminded that Heroes is probably the single greatest single ever goddamn recorded.
	12:00am Andres: So great tonight, Mona!! Thank you!! Take care, everyone!
