	3:02pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon, Olivia and all!
	3:02pm Michael 98145: huzza !
	🍝 3:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: STRONG start. Loving it. In a weird headspace today and this sums it up perfectly.
	3:04pm tim from washington: Hiya Olivia and crew!
	3:04pm joe mulligan: last week I was asking how ravioli have triplets, but this past weekend I did eat ravioli babies. I had some delicata squash agnolotti.
	3:05pm Carmichael: Ravioli time! Much better than peanut butter jelly time!
	3:06pm listener james from westwood: Solange! Cannot clicky-star fast enough! That loop alone!
	3:08pm Krys O.: New ravioli to try: burrata, lemon zest & herb plus a roasted chicken, garlic & herb.
	3:08pm Michael 98145: Happy Solstice Eve
	3:09pm Krys O.: Indeed! Happy Solstice around the corner.
	3:11pm Michael 98145: may your bonfires burn bright
	3:13pm tim from washington: Olivia - has anyone sent you their commute audios?
	3:14pm olivia: yeah I've gotten quite a few! I am waiting for more to make something with it. Folks here- if you have any field recordings of you listening to your environment (ideally when walking... maybe biking too...), send it to me! Can be a crappy recording from your smartphone.
	3:15pm captain beef fart: Happy Solstice Eve, indeed. More daylight is always welcome.
	🍝 3:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pictured: Olivia's Christmas tree ornaments, probably: www.arrayofhappiness.com...
	3:17pm Krys O.: I don't think anyone would want to hear my commute. I mutter to myself A LOT as I walk.
	3:17pm olivia: WOA how'd these pictures of my ravioli xmas tree end up online???
	3:17pm captain beef fart: My morning walk is quite quiet. Maybe a distant siren, wind rustled leaves and occasional muttering to myself. Wake and bake in the headphones.
	3:19pm Krys O.: I leave the house at 6am for my commute. There's also a lot of cursing as I yell at car drivers who run red light or nearly run me down.
	3:19pm olivia: haha Krys O!
	3:20pm Tim S: I had a recording on Instagram (a whole mess of geese flying over my house), but I can send an audio file via email if that's better for your project
	3:21pm olivia: yea Tim you should email! olivia@wfmu.org
	3:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh man, that site has pierogi ornaments.
	3:22pm Michael 98145: how cool are those ?!?
	3:22pm Krys O.: Tim, you reminded me of a video on my YouTube channel that might work.
	3:23pm olivia: omg someone sent me a youtube video from the perspective of their helmet as they ride their bike thru manhattan. it was really entrancing!
	3:23pm olivia: the stream went on for an hour and a half. I probably watched it for a half hour
	3:26pm captain beef fart: "use your F ing turn signal..."
	3:27pm Old Dave: Have to say I would not ride a bike through NYC, Philly or any city on the East Coast. Call me a coward.
	3:28pm Michael 98145: I think of that everytime i'm fuming behind a biker here on the left coast
	3:29pm Victor Eremita: @Old Dave I've been biking my kids to school every day in Brooklyn. We're still alive, but I could probably benefit from talking to a therapist.
	🍝 3:29pm karlward: Driving around Jersey it seems to me that drivers here would literally die if they had to use their turn signal
	3:30pm Tim S: I learned how to ride a bike at the ripe old age of 20. A friend coached me on a side street in Bonn. She overhead a mother say to her child, "See, even the big people have trouble."
	3:31pm listener james from westwood: @karlward Recalling a comment by William Burroughs about, IIRC, Tangier and how drivers there seemed to use their horns to echolocate like bats, and thinking, that's Jersey.
	3:31pm tim from washington: @Tim S - Ha! That's a great story. Are you from Bonn?
	3:31pm Krys O.: I just emailed you, Olivia. BTW-I wear a light so I will be seen by car drivers and I am hyper-aware of my surroundings when I'm walking, but people speed and run red lights frequently in my neck of the woods in the Essex County area of NJ.
	3:31pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I do not miss having a commute.
	3:32pm joe mulligan: I always love the sound of a freewheel buzzzzzzzz
	3:32pm Michael 98145: this -is- nice
	3:33pm KittenVillage: This sounds like Land of the Loops, or Volume Allstar
	3:33pm Krys O.: @Woods: Good for you. Mine gives me anxiety especially because I have to transfer buses. Speaking of which, I have to get ready for the commute home. I love listening to WFMU to ease my nerves.
	3:34pm Tim S: @tim from washington no, was just studying there. Took a long trip up and down the Rhine the next day. One of my life's great memories
	3:35pm tim from washington: @Tim S - very cool. I asked because I spent a summer in Bad Godesburg when Bonn was the capital of West Germany.
	3:35pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: My last commute home was at the start of the pandemic, during the fundraiser. It was Fabio's show with Clay sitting in and being an annoyance. It was hilarious. A couple of months later, we moved to Maine.
	3:36pm Old Dave: @Victor I was a serious bicyclist back in the 1970s and again in late 80s. This was before cell phones and texting... Thought it would be better on a motorcycle, which it was compared to sitting in a pickup. Then my last fun thing was a Vespa. It made me feel great getting errands done on fairly little gas, and glorious in good weather the way a bicycle is. I am a good and considerate driver, but too many brushes with the other kind put me back in the pickup for now.
	3:36pm laurapanic: that Attia Taylor song was cool
	3:37pm Mike W: never not a good day when LBGP comes on the radio
	3:37pm theia: great show today
	3:37pm rdb: I AM ENJOYING THESE SONGS
	3:37pm laurapanic: and heck yeh Look Blue, Go Purple are the best. this comp reissue is great. Their original pressings are hell expensive
	3:37pm Tim S: @tim from washington - that's exactly where I was! Except this was back in 2010. Eager to get back over sometime
	3:38pm Carmichael: Is this Marshall Tucker ... ha ha
	3:40pm tim from washington: That's really cool, Tim S!
	3:44pm Mike W: I have those original LBGP EPs...or, well, two of them are F Nun repressings (the gold and red labels)
	3:45pm Toutevoix: sweet raviolivia's voice and set nice
	3:50pm Marie: Hey, just tuning in. Now I wanna listen to the archive. Love the raviolis in the tree! Just took a walk and saw groups of birds hanging in very specific trees, must be something about those trees...
	3:51pm yen: "drivers there seemed to use their horns to echolocate like bats" They definitely do that in Vietnam, everybody is riding on a moped in an open helmet and hearing all the horns is vital to not have a collision. Traffic is all around you but you only have 2 eyes!
	3:55pm JohnEBGood: Merry Christmas Oliva 🙂🧷🥤
	3:56pm Marie: Here's a really great article from the Guardian that discusses some of the major changes western societies have gone through relatively recently--it's really a case for hope: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/20/rightwingers-us-social-change-coming
	3:56pm laurapanic: Mike W they are so good. OG Flying Nun anythings are nice to have
	3:59pm batman: I enjoyed that Carl Stone piece from last week.
	4:00pm Marie: how cool--the volcano and deep water sounds
	4:01pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Marie: Thanks for the article. I just subscribed to that publication after dumping both the time and wapo for their ridiculous both-sides junk.
	4:03pm Marie: Hey Woods, yeah, I really like it and I hear ya' on the "both sides"--this equivalence nonsense is making a lot of mainstream journalism useless and distorting
	4:03pm olivia: Melissa is gonna host radio row this sunday 5-6pm, tune in! also, I really enjoyed the show she did with Adriene on The Blind Tourist this past summer. wfmu.org...
	4:03pm olivia: she talks about recording this and adriene does her mixing magic, too
	4:03pm joe mulligan: cats ears perkin up right now
	4:04pm People Like Us: yes, my cat is not keen
	4:04pm listener james from westwood: Radio Row = so good. As is The Blind Tourist.
	4:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This reminds me of the time a few years ago when their was crazed coyote chatter in our dooryard (that's driveway to you flatlanders) in the middle of the night. In that case tho...it was creepy.
	4:05pm listener james from westwood: Ofra Haza!
	4:06pm joe mulligan: Vicki are you playing in for Ken on this Wednesday's show?
	4:07pm theia: I've got a dvd of this somewhere
	4:07pm People Like Us: yes
	4:07pm TDK60: Hi Olivia. Support groups trying to stop killing of wolves by ranchers, govts. out west.
	4:10pm Michael 98145: loving the show today
	4:10pm tim from washington: I really like this Naya Beat.
	4:11pm Jackie G: Very nice cover of Vangelis/Jon Anderson song
	4:11pm olivia: this album is too good! I should also say that the folks behind Naya Beat were on Rob W's show sometime recently discussing this release and more.
	4:12pm Jackie G: The way she says: Hey! Hey!
	4:13pm Michael 98145: Wow -- need to hear more of this nayabeat.bandcamp.com...
	4:13pm tim from washington: Thanks for the Rob W tip, Olivia!
	4:14pm Marie: love this and the last one and the one before that@)
	4:14pm SeanG: rippin' sax
	4:14pm olivia: RIPPINNN, sean G!
	4:15pm Phillippe: howdy
	4:17pm Jackie G: State of Independence, South Asian style. Wonderful
	4:17pm Phillippe: Really enjoyed the last half hour of the show while navigating traffic
	4:17pm joe mulligan: sounds good Vicki, always love the UK holiday tunes. V/vm Christmas are esp one of my favorites
	🍝 4:18pm karlward: Someone remind me what the rules are regarding wearing sunglasses while playing saxophone. Mainly I'm interested in whether those rules apply to South Asian dance music circa 83-92.
	4:18pm Ike: It’s the holidays once again, so PSA time: watch out for old unwanted super-hard fruitcakes getting thrown out of windows. Nobody wants a demon fruitcake cursing their trash can, so they may defenestrate them instead, creating a major hazard for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. They’re hard enough to smash your car’s engine block. Beware!
	4:22pm TDK60: Ike: Sad. I need merriment.
	4:23pm SeanG: i've been floating in sensory deprivation tanks to bliss me out and chill me out good stuff
	4:25pm olivia: can the average person do a sensory deprivation tank thing? I always hear about it but assumed it was a rich person thing (I have never researched it)
	4:29pm joe mulligan: that's a great question Olivia! I also wonder if it's ok with people a little more fragile-minded.
	4:29pm SeanG: yeah it can get pricey sometimes like 80 bucks a float but some places have community hours for only 40 bucks a float, that's what i do or you can volunteer at a float place and get free floats stuff like that
	4:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: There's a float place in my town (I live in California so not too surprising) and it's $90 if you're a member but they won't let you in if you color your hair red or blue! so that lets me out. pouting.
	4:32pm listener james from westwood: Here for this Bee Gees mini-set! And hell yess to The Bird and the Bee!
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: hi Olivia and pastaheads
	4:34pm joe mulligan: I also liked Low's version of "I started a joke". Great show today Olivia!
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: ^ "started a joke" the very best bee gees song and i can imagine low doing it
	4:37pm Jackie G: What is the best (most popular) The Bird & The Bee song?
	4:40pm Jackie G: Olivaia: put the sensory tank thing on your Christmas list.
	4:41pm olivia: I have a similar question to joe mulligan: is there a chance for negative thought overload, like overwhelming surreal vibes, claustrophobia...?
	4:42pm olivia: while doing the sensory take thing
	4:43pm Carmichael: I am claustrophobic, so I would totally freak out. I couldn't get an MRI on my shoulder without sedation.
	4:43pm SeanG: this is some FUSION music!
	4:44pm Carmichael: Funky flute!
	4:45pm Marie: Beautiful sky here in NY. Totally tubular tunage, man
	4:45pm tim from washington: karlward @ 4:18 - sorry for the late response. I was doing research. All sources I looked at said sunglasses and saxophones are a career killing combination EXCEPT for South Asian dance musicians circa 83-92 and politicians running for president circa 92.
	4:47pm garlic lover: Tuning in while prepping a lemon ricotta ravioli dinner
	4:49pm Warwick joe: That track bangs
	4:50pm joe mulligan: @karlward & @tim from WA yes look at what it did to Joe Camel, he didn't end up well with the shades and sax. But dad's cousin on the other hand, worked for him!
	4:51pm dreamyandseedy: i love this whole Dawn Richard album!
	4:54pm melinda: hi everyone!
	4:55pm tim from washington: Good point, Joe. Now Spuds McKenzie knew were to draw the line. Shades and a Bo Diiddley guitar. That's hip!
	4:55pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Olivia, Olivians. Sorry we're late. Life. You know.
	4:55pm tim from washington: Hey Melinda! Hay Handy!
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: this reminds me of king crimson
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: ...(that reminded- )
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: - the last song on islands, i think
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: tim! Yo, coela!
	🍝 5:00pm Will the Sound Guy: Hey Olivia and all!!!
	5:00pm slim: Thanks for the tunes
	🍝 5:05pm karlward: When did the rules change about wearing sunglasses while playing saxophone? I remember reading on some WFMU playlist page that saxophonists were legally required to wear sunglasses while playing solos, and I'm pretty sure the songs in question were 80s songs (US, obviously).
	5:07pm Dayffid: Very nice!
	5:08pm Marie: love this
	🍝 5:08pm karlward: OK I looked up the legal precedent, Listener Scott confirmed at up to at least 1980 saxophonists were in fact legally required to wear sunglasses. Link: www.wfmu.org... Excerpt: "Also, I can tell the sax player in the Michael Stanley track was wearing sunglasses because that was the law back then. "
	5:09pm Persimmon: @olivia whats your go to pizza spot?
	5:10pm Carmichael: Boy, this song has some staying power ...
	5:10pm olivia: I dunno @Persimmon. Yesterday we got Bread and Salt and it was very good.
	🍝 5:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: This is brand-new PLU or from early this year? It's pretty swell.
	5:12pm olivia: @Ken from Hyde Park, it came out on CD in 2011 but got reissued earlier this year on vinyl by Discrepant!
	🍝 5:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I see ... thanks!
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: karlward, I'm thinking Lost Highway might have changed the legal and existential landscapes.
	5:17pm quinn: aw. one of my favorites
	5:18pm olivia: <3 same quinn
	🍝 5:21pm karlward: Handy: if you see me wearing sunglasses and playing a scorching late 80s sax solo: 1) don't report me 2) it isn't me 3) go directly to the nearest futures exchange and start shouting "WHAM! BUY! MEN AT WORK! BUY! BUY DAMN YOU BUY!" 4) this conversation didn't happen
	🍝 5:22pm karlward: Think of it as a careless whisper of a conversation (adjusts sunglasses, adjusts reed)
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: Howdy Handy! hi Will!
	5:23pm Carmichael: I believe that RayBans specifically were required.
	5:24pm Handy Haversack: I'm in my house right now, calling me, karlward. I get it. I get it.
	🍝 5:25pm karlward: Handy: that scene, except instead of a phone, the actors are talking into saxophones that they are holding like phones
	5:27pm Handy Haversack: Assuming sunglasses are involved. Also, cheers, Olivians! Forgot to say the drink was mixed and we are desperately trying to segue into the relaxing segment of the day. Lemme just get K8 to stop doomscrolling ...
	🍝 5:29pm karlward: You're right, I will have a Boulevardier this evening
	5:31pm Marie: Speaking of the Ocean, I need to take a trip to the beach soon, during the day. Love to do that this time of year.
	🍝 5:32pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Coelacanth, Handy, Ken HP, Karlward, Carmichael, and others
	5:33pm olivia: agreed, Marie!
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Will! How's everything coming along?
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: Just noticed that Blue Gene Tyrrany was from 1978! I would also have believed 2019.
	🍝 5:35pm Will the Sound Guy: running out of time.. more to do in the basement for the office, upstairs for the nursery, and some other stuff... We did get a tree and decorate the house
	🍝 5:36pm Will the Sound Guy: How are the young shredders doing Handy?
	5:37pm Persimmon: I'm looking to buy a deck of eno's oblique cards for a christmas gift. First heard about them on this show! Anyone have a lead on finding it for sale in nyc?
	5:37pm tim from washington: @Marie - Over thanksgiving I was at the Pacific ocean at the base of the Olympic peninsula. We took a night walk on the beach. It was totally dark and sensory disorienting. It was pretty great.
	5:37pm Handy Haversack: They're amazing, Will. Hoping every day to keep them healthy, but right now all is well. They are so great to have around. I mean, the toe biting is less great. But, you know, whole package and all.
	5:38pm olivia: ooh good idea Persimmon! i'm not really sure where you can buy it IRL another card game item I have been thinking about getting is that esther perel game that helps you ask more intimate questions with friends / family. It sounds kinda cheesy but also nice, cuz relating to other people after covid isolation can be hard sometimes
	5:42pm Feldy: Hey Olivia, been listening and working, enjoying the show!
	5:44pm Handy Haversack: Will, right now Goblin is sleeping on the shelf over the radiator and dreaming. His tail and paws are moving in his sleep -- like a dog's. Never seen that before in cats, but both of them do it.
	5:44pm Marie: @Tim--that sounds fantastic! It reminds of a time I took a trip to Alaska with my brothers and a friend and we camped out by the shore and walked along it at night and during the day. I would like to do that again, and maybe I'll go to the ocean as the sun sets so I can experience both
	5:46pm Marie: I can see stars from my apartment at night but not a lot of them (I'm in Queens, on the top floor)
	5:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @olivia: Sorta related - I had a hard time relating to _physical objects_ after covid isolation. I went into a grocery store for the first time in over two years to get my booster and man....so much STUFF in there! For whatever reason, it sort of unnerved me.
	5:46pm Marie: @Handy--maybe they're dreaming of you and K8 @)
	🍝 5:47pm Will the Sound Guy: Handy, sometimes our 4 yr old cat TyTy 🐈 does that too
	5:48pm Krys O.: Thank you for a wonderful show, Olivia!
	5:48pm melinda: cool sounds
	5:48pm tim from washington: @Marie - Oh man! That sounds awesome. I've only been to Alaska once. I love it there. We were staying a few blocks from the water in Anchorage in March. We took a walk at dusk along a pathway. The frozen mud flats were incomprehensible.
	5:49pm greg from montreal: hey all! digging the sounds!
	5:49pm chresti: Hi ravioli!
	🍝 5:49pm Will the Sound Guy: Yes, Thank you Olivia for the tunes this afternoon! hope all is well with all of you!!
	5:50pm Marie: @Tim--sounds cool. The scale of things there is epic.
	🍝 5:50pm karlward: Woods: I was in an elevator recently and I was unnerved, haven't done that in years
	5:51pm herb.nyc: hi all, i very much liked the BEE GEES set earlier. i hafta get me some LOW. thanks for playing. woof!
	5:51pm batman: This song is growing on me
	5:51pm soupfriend: love this
	5:52pm olivia: interview w/ rayna russum (aka black meteor star) thequietus.com...
	5:52pm chris in the redwoods: damn, this Black Meteoric Star cut is a scorcher. thanks for all the great stuff today, Olivia!
	5:53pm chresti: It was nice to wake up to after having an after-work snooze
	5:53pm Marie: Another faboo show, Olivia. Thanks!
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: Right, Chris? And thanks, Olivia! Totally great. Very glad to have caught the last hour. Later on, Olivians!
	5:55pm tim from washington: Thanks, Olivia! Happy end of the year to you!
	5:55pm batman: Is this Bucci?
	🍝 5:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Olivia. Glad you enjoyed the cookies the other day.
	5:57pm chresti: Thanks olivia!
	5:58pm joe mulligan: thanks for the fun show today Olivia!
	5:58pm Marie: funnee
	5:59pm BruceSWNY.: Thanks Olivia- Great Selects- "Dawn" 12" version -Incredible: took me to outerspace-the muti & metaverse, plus all the abstraction in between. Happy Holidays to ALL
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Olivia!
	6:00pm HyperDose: Thanks Olivia!

	3:02pm Krys O.: Hello! I stocked my fridge with ravioli this weekend.
	3:02pm HyperDose: Radio we can taste! 🍝🤩
	3:02pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon, Olivia and all!
	3:02pm Michael 98145: huzza !
	🍝 3:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: STRONG start. Loving it. In a weird headspace today and this sums it up perfectly.
	3:04pm tim from washington: Hiya Olivia and crew!
	3:04pm joe mulligan: last week I was asking how ravioli have triplets, but this past weekend I did eat ravioli babies. I had some delicata squash agnolotti.
	3:05pm Carmichael: Ravioli time! Much better than peanut butter jelly time!
	3:06pm listener james from westwood: Solange! Cannot clicky-star fast enough! That loop alone!
	3:08pm Krys O.: New ravioli to try: burrata, lemon zest & herb plus a roasted chicken, garlic & herb.
	3:08pm Michael 98145: Happy Solstice Eve
	3:09pm Krys O.: Indeed! Happy Solstice around the corner.
	3:11pm Michael 98145: may your bonfires burn bright
	3:13pm tim from washington: Olivia - has anyone sent you their commute audios?
	3:14pm olivia: yeah I've gotten quite a few! I am waiting for more to make something with it. Folks here- if you have any field recordings of you listening to your environment (ideally when walking... maybe biking too...), send it to me! Can be a crappy recording from your smartphone.
	3:15pm captain beef fart: Happy Solstice Eve, indeed. More daylight is always welcome.
	🍝 3:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pictured: Olivia's Christmas tree ornaments, probably: www.arrayofhappiness.com...
	3:17pm Krys O.: I don't think anyone would want to hear my commute. I mutter to myself A LOT as I walk.
	3:17pm olivia: WOA how'd these pictures of my ravioli xmas tree end up online???
	3:17pm captain beef fart: My morning walk is quite quiet. Maybe a distant siren, wind rustled leaves and occasional muttering to myself. Wake and bake in the headphones.
	3:19pm Krys O.: I leave the house at 6am for my commute. There's also a lot of cursing as I yell at car drivers who run red light or nearly run me down.
	3:19pm olivia: haha Krys O!
	3:20pm Tim S: I had a recording on Instagram (a whole mess of geese flying over my house), but I can send an audio file via email if that's better for your project
	3:21pm olivia: yea Tim you should email! olivia@wfmu.org
	3:22pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh man, that site has pierogi ornaments.
	3:22pm Michael 98145: how cool are those ?!?
	3:22pm Krys O.: Tim, you reminded me of a video on my YouTube channel that might work.
	3:23pm olivia: omg someone sent me a youtube video from the perspective of their helmet as they ride their bike thru manhattan. it was really entrancing!
	3:23pm olivia: the stream went on for an hour and a half. I probably watched it for a half hour
	3:26pm captain beef fart: "use your F ing turn signal..."
	3:27pm Old Dave: Have to say I would not ride a bike through NYC, Philly or any city on the East Coast. Call me a coward.
	3:28pm Michael 98145: I think of that everytime i'm fuming behind a biker here on the left coast
	3:29pm Victor Eremita: @Old Dave I've been biking my kids to school every day in Brooklyn. We're still alive, but I could probably benefit from talking to a therapist.
	🍝 3:29pm karlward: Driving around Jersey it seems to me that drivers here would literally die if they had to use their turn signal
	3:30pm Tim S: I learned how to ride a bike at the ripe old age of 20. A friend coached me on a side street in Bonn. She overhead a mother say to her child, "See, even the big people have trouble."
	3:31pm listener james from westwood: @karlward Recalling a comment by William Burroughs about, IIRC, Tangier and how drivers there seemed to use their horns to echolocate like bats, and thinking, that's Jersey.
	3:31pm tim from washington: @Tim S - Ha! That's a great story. Are you from Bonn?
	3:31pm Krys O.: I just emailed you, Olivia. BTW-I wear a light so I will be seen by car drivers and I am hyper-aware of my surroundings when I'm walking, but people speed and run red lights frequently in my neck of the woods in the Essex County area of NJ.
	3:31pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I do not miss having a commute.
	3:32pm joe mulligan: I always love the sound of a freewheel buzzzzzzzz
	3:32pm Michael 98145: this -is- nice
	3:33pm KittenVillage: This sounds like Land of the Loops, or Volume Allstar
	3:33pm Krys O.: @Woods: Good for you. Mine gives me anxiety especially because I have to transfer buses. Speaking of which, I have to get ready for the commute home. I love listening to WFMU to ease my nerves.
	3:34pm Tim S: @tim from washington no, was just studying there. Took a long trip up and down the Rhine the next day. One of my life's great memories
	3:35pm tim from washington: @Tim S - very cool. I asked because I spent a summer in Bad Godesburg when Bonn was the capital of West Germany.
	3:35pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: My last commute home was at the start of the pandemic, during the fundraiser. It was Fabio's show with Clay sitting in and being an annoyance. It was hilarious. A couple of months later, we moved to Maine.
	3:36pm Old Dave: @Victor I was a serious bicyclist back in the 1970s and again in late 80s. This was before cell phones and texting... Thought it would be better on a motorcycle, which it was compared to sitting in a pickup. Then my last fun thing was a Vespa. It made me feel great getting errands done on fairly little gas, and glorious in good weather the way a bicycle is. I am a good and considerate driver, but too many brushes with the other kind put me back in the pickup for now.
	3:36pm laurapanic: that Attia Taylor song was cool
	3:37pm Mike W: never not a good day when LBGP comes on the radio
	3:37pm theia: great show today
	3:37pm rdb: I AM ENJOYING THESE SONGS
	3:37pm laurapanic: and heck yeh Look Blue, Go Purple are the best. this comp reissue is great. Their original pressings are hell expensive
	3:37pm Tim S: @tim from washington - that's exactly where I was! Except this was back in 2010. Eager to get back over sometime
	3:38pm Carmichael: Is this Marshall Tucker ... ha ha
	3:40pm tim from washington: That's really cool, Tim S!
	3:44pm Mike W: I have those original LBGP EPs...or, well, two of them are F Nun repressings (the gold and red labels)
	3:45pm Toutevoix: sweet raviolivia's voice and set nice
	3:50pm Marie: Hey, just tuning in. Now I wanna listen to the archive. Love the raviolis in the tree! Just took a walk and saw groups of birds hanging in very specific trees, must be something about those trees...
	3:51pm yen: "drivers there seemed to use their horns to echolocate like bats" They definitely do that in Vietnam, everybody is riding on a moped in an open helmet and hearing all the horns is vital to not have a collision. Traffic is all around you but you only have 2 eyes!
	3:55pm JohnEBGood: Merry Christmas Oliva 🙂🧷🥤
	3:56pm Marie: Here's a really great article from the Guardian that discusses some of the major changes western societies have gone through relatively recently--it's really a case for hope: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/20/rightwingers-us-social-change-coming
	3:56pm laurapanic: Mike W they are so good. OG Flying Nun anythings are nice to have
	3:59pm batman: I enjoyed that Carl Stone piece from last week.
	4:00pm Marie: how cool--the volcano and deep water sounds
	4:01pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Marie: Thanks for the article. I just subscribed to that publication after dumping both the time and wapo for their ridiculous both-sides junk.
	4:03pm Marie: Hey Woods, yeah, I really like it and I hear ya' on the "both sides"--this equivalence nonsense is making a lot of mainstream journalism useless and distorting
	4:03pm olivia: Melissa is gonna host radio row this sunday 5-6pm, tune in! also, I really enjoyed the show she did with Adriene on The Blind Tourist this past summer. wfmu.org...
	4:03pm olivia: she talks about recording this and adriene does her mixing magic, too
	4:03pm joe mulligan: cats ears perkin up right now
	4:04pm People Like Us: yes, my cat is not keen
	4:04pm listener james from westwood: Radio Row = so good. As is The Blind Tourist.
	4:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This reminds me of the time a few years ago when their was crazed coyote chatter in our dooryard (that's driveway to you flatlanders) in the middle of the night. In that case tho...it was creepy.
	4:05pm listener james from westwood: Ofra Haza!
	4:06pm joe mulligan: Vicki are you playing in for Ken on this Wednesday's show?
	4:07pm theia: I've got a dvd of this somewhere
	4:07pm People Like Us: yes
	4:07pm TDK60: Hi Olivia. Support groups trying to stop killing of wolves by ranchers, govts. out west.
	4:10pm Michael 98145: loving the show today
	4:10pm tim from washington: I really like this Naya Beat.
	4:11pm Jackie G: Very nice cover of Vangelis/Jon Anderson song
	4:11pm olivia: this album is too good! I should also say that the folks behind Naya Beat were on Rob W's show sometime recently discussing this release and more.
	4:12pm Jackie G: The way she says: Hey! Hey!
	4:13pm Michael 98145: Wow -- need to hear more of this nayabeat.bandcamp.com...
	4:13pm tim from washington: Thanks for the Rob W tip, Olivia!
	4:14pm Marie: love this and the last one and the one before that@)
	4:14pm SeanG: rippin' sax
	4:14pm olivia: RIPPINNN, sean G!
	4:15pm Phillippe: howdy
	4:17pm Jackie G: State of Independence, South Asian style. Wonderful
	4:17pm Phillippe: Really enjoyed the last half hour of the show while navigating traffic
	4:17pm joe mulligan: sounds good Vicki, always love the UK holiday tunes. V/vm Christmas are esp one of my favorites
	🍝 4:18pm karlward: Someone remind me what the rules are regarding wearing sunglasses while playing saxophone. Mainly I'm interested in whether those rules apply to South Asian dance music circa 83-92.
	4:18pm Ike: It’s the holidays once again, so PSA time: watch out for old unwanted super-hard fruitcakes getting thrown out of windows. Nobody wants a demon fruitcake cursing their trash can, so they may defenestrate them instead, creating a major hazard for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. They’re hard enough to smash your car’s engine block. Beware!
	4:22pm TDK60: Ike: Sad. I need merriment.
	4:23pm SeanG: i've been floating in sensory deprivation tanks to bliss me out and chill me out good stuff
	4:25pm olivia: can the average person do a sensory deprivation tank thing? I always hear about it but assumed it was a rich person thing (I have never researched it)
	4:29pm joe mulligan: that's a great question Olivia! I also wonder if it's ok with people a little more fragile-minded.
	4:29pm SeanG: yeah it can get pricey sometimes like 80 bucks a float but some places have community hours for only 40 bucks a float, that's what i do or you can volunteer at a float place and get free floats stuff like that
	4:30pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: There's a float place in my town (I live in California so not too surprising) and it's $90 if you're a member but they won't let you in if you color your hair red or blue! so that lets me out. pouting.
	4:32pm listener james from westwood: Here for this Bee Gees mini-set! And hell yess to The Bird and the Bee!
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: hi Olivia and pastaheads
	4:34pm joe mulligan: I also liked Low's version of "I started a joke". Great show today Olivia!
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: ^ "started a joke" the very best bee gees song and i can imagine low doing it
	4:37pm Jackie G: What is the best (most popular) The Bird & The Bee song?
	4:40pm Jackie G: Olivaia: put the sensory tank thing on your Christmas list.
	4:41pm olivia: I have a similar question to joe mulligan: is there a chance for negative thought overload, like overwhelming surreal vibes, claustrophobia...?
	4:42pm olivia: while doing the sensory take thing
	4:43pm Carmichael: I am claustrophobic, so I would totally freak out. I couldn't get an MRI on my shoulder without sedation.
	4:43pm SeanG: this is some FUSION music!
	4:44pm Carmichael: Funky flute!
	4:45pm Marie: Beautiful sky here in NY. Totally tubular tunage, man
	4:45pm tim from washington: karlward @ 4:18 - sorry for the late response. I was doing research. All sources I looked at said sunglasses and saxophones are a career killing combination EXCEPT for South Asian dance musicians circa 83-92 and politicians running for president circa 92.
	4:47pm garlic lover: Tuning in while prepping a lemon ricotta ravioli dinner
	4:49pm Warwick joe: That track bangs
	4:50pm joe mulligan: @karlward & @tim from WA yes look at what it did to Joe Camel, he didn't end up well with the shades and sax. But dad's cousin on the other hand, worked for him!
	4:51pm dreamyandseedy: i love this whole Dawn Richard album!
	4:54pm melinda: hi everyone!
	4:55pm tim from washington: Good point, Joe. Now Spuds McKenzie knew were to draw the line. Shades and a Bo Diiddley guitar. That's hip!
	4:55pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Olivia, Olivians. Sorry we're late. Life. You know.
	4:55pm tim from washington: Hey Melinda! Hay Handy!
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: this reminds me of king crimson
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: ...(that reminded- )
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: - the last song on islands, i think
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: tim! Yo, coela!
	🍝 5:00pm Will the Sound Guy: Hey Olivia and all!!!
	5:00pm slim: Thanks for the tunes
	🍝 5:05pm karlward: When did the rules change about wearing sunglasses while playing saxophone? I remember reading on some WFMU playlist page that saxophonists were legally required to wear sunglasses while playing solos, and I'm pretty sure the songs in question were 80s songs (US, obviously).
	5:07pm Dayffid: Very nice!
	5:08pm Marie: love this
	🍝 5:08pm karlward: OK I looked up the legal precedent, Listener Scott confirmed at up to at least 1980 saxophonists were in fact legally required to wear sunglasses. Link: www.wfmu.org... Excerpt: "Also, I can tell the sax player in the Michael Stanley track was wearing sunglasses because that was the law back then. "
	5:09pm Persimmon: @olivia whats your go to pizza spot?
	5:10pm Carmichael: Boy, this song has some staying power ...
	5:10pm olivia: I dunno @Persimmon. Yesterday we got Bread and Salt and it was very good.
	🍝 5:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: This is brand-new PLU or from early this year? It's pretty swell.
	5:12pm olivia: @Ken from Hyde Park, it came out on CD in 2011 but got reissued earlier this year on vinyl by Discrepant!
	🍝 5:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: I see ... thanks!
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: karlward, I'm thinking Lost Highway might have changed the legal and existential landscapes.
	5:17pm quinn: aw. one of my favorites
	5:18pm olivia: <3 same quinn
	🍝 5:21pm karlward: Handy: if you see me wearing sunglasses and playing a scorching late 80s sax solo: 1) don't report me 2) it isn't me 3) go directly to the nearest futures exchange and start shouting "WHAM! BUY! MEN AT WORK! BUY! BUY DAMN YOU BUY!" 4) this conversation didn't happen
	🍝 5:22pm karlward: Think of it as a careless whisper of a conversation (adjusts sunglasses, adjusts reed)
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: Howdy Handy! hi Will!
	5:23pm Carmichael: I believe that RayBans specifically were required.
	5:24pm Handy Haversack: I'm in my house right now, calling me, karlward. I get it. I get it.
	🍝 5:25pm karlward: Handy: that scene, except instead of a phone, the actors are talking into saxophones that they are holding like phones
	5:27pm Handy Haversack: Assuming sunglasses are involved. Also, cheers, Olivians! Forgot to say the drink was mixed and we are desperately trying to segue into the relaxing segment of the day. Lemme just get K8 to stop doomscrolling ...
	🍝 5:29pm karlward: You're right, I will have a Boulevardier this evening
	5:31pm Marie: Speaking of the Ocean, I need to take a trip to the beach soon, during the day. Love to do that this time of year.
	🍝 5:32pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Coelacanth, Handy, Ken HP, Karlward, Carmichael, and others
	5:33pm olivia: agreed, Marie!
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Will! How's everything coming along?
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: Just noticed that Blue Gene Tyrrany was from 1978! I would also have believed 2019.
	🍝 5:35pm Will the Sound Guy: running out of time.. more to do in the basement for the office, upstairs for the nursery, and some other stuff... We did get a tree and decorate the house
	🍝 5:36pm Will the Sound Guy: How are the young shredders doing Handy?
	5:37pm Persimmon: I'm looking to buy a deck of eno's oblique cards for a christmas gift. First heard about them on this show! Anyone have a lead on finding it for sale in nyc?
	5:37pm tim from washington: @Marie - Over thanksgiving I was at the Pacific ocean at the base of the Olympic peninsula. We took a night walk on the beach. It was totally dark and sensory disorienting. It was pretty great.
	5:37pm Handy Haversack: They're amazing, Will. Hoping every day to keep them healthy, but right now all is well. They are so great to have around. I mean, the toe biting is less great. But, you know, whole package and all.
	5:38pm olivia: ooh good idea Persimmon! i'm not really sure where you can buy it IRL another card game item I have been thinking about getting is that esther perel game that helps you ask more intimate questions with friends / family. It sounds kinda cheesy but also nice, cuz relating to other people after covid isolation can be hard sometimes
	5:42pm Feldy: Hey Olivia, been listening and working, enjoying the show!
	5:44pm Handy Haversack: Will, right now Goblin is sleeping on the shelf over the radiator and dreaming. His tail and paws are moving in his sleep -- like a dog's. Never seen that before in cats, but both of them do it.
	5:44pm Marie: @Tim--that sounds fantastic! It reminds of a time I took a trip to Alaska with my brothers and a friend and we camped out by the shore and walked along it at night and during the day. I would like to do that again, and maybe I'll go to the ocean as the sun sets so I can experience both
	5:46pm Marie: I can see stars from my apartment at night but not a lot of them (I'm in Queens, on the top floor)
	5:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @olivia: Sorta related - I had a hard time relating to _physical objects_ after covid isolation. I went into a grocery store for the first time in over two years to get my booster and man....so much STUFF in there! For whatever reason, it sort of unnerved me.
	5:46pm Marie: @Handy--maybe they're dreaming of you and K8 @)
	🍝 5:47pm Will the Sound Guy: Handy, sometimes our 4 yr old cat TyTy 🐈 does that too
	5:48pm Krys O.: Thank you for a wonderful show, Olivia!
	5:48pm melinda: cool sounds
	5:48pm tim from washington: @Marie - Oh man! That sounds awesome. I've only been to Alaska once. I love it there. We were staying a few blocks from the water in Anchorage in March. We took a walk at dusk along a pathway. The frozen mud flats were incomprehensible.
	5:49pm greg from montreal: hey all! digging the sounds!
	5:49pm chresti: Hi ravioli!
	🍝 5:49pm Will the Sound Guy: Yes, Thank you Olivia for the tunes this afternoon! hope all is well with all of you!!
	5:50pm Marie: @Tim--sounds cool. The scale of things there is epic.
	🍝 5:50pm karlward: Woods: I was in an elevator recently and I was unnerved, haven't done that in years
	5:51pm herb.nyc: hi all, i very much liked the BEE GEES set earlier. i hafta get me some LOW. thanks for playing. woof!
	5:51pm batman: This song is growing on me
	5:51pm soupfriend: love this
	5:52pm olivia: interview w/ rayna russum (aka black meteor star) thequietus.com...
	5:52pm chris in the redwoods: damn, this Black Meteoric Star cut is a scorcher. thanks for all the great stuff today, Olivia!
	5:53pm chresti: It was nice to wake up to after having an after-work snooze
	5:53pm Marie: Another faboo show, Olivia. Thanks!
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: Right, Chris? And thanks, Olivia! Totally great. Very glad to have caught the last hour. Later on, Olivians!
	5:55pm tim from washington: Thanks, Olivia! Happy end of the year to you!
	5:55pm batman: Is this Bucci?
	🍝 5:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Olivia. Glad you enjoyed the cookies the other day.
	5:57pm chresti: Thanks olivia!
	5:58pm joe mulligan: thanks for the fun show today Olivia!
	5:58pm Marie: funnee
	5:59pm BruceSWNY.: Thanks Olivia- Great Selects- "Dawn" 12" version -Incredible: took me to outerspace-the muti & metaverse, plus all the abstraction in between. Happy Holidays to ALL
