Listener comments!
	6:02am LiXiviated Life: wait
	6:02am LiXiviated Life: never mind
	♥ 6:08am Amanda: Hello everyone! Good snowy morning
	6:10am northguineahills: Gotta love the bulls Art Blakey has running around.....
	6:15am LiXiviated Life: Blending weirdly with the sound of snow plows just below my window
	♥ 6:17am Amanda: @northguineahills, talk about a horn section...
	6:19am Rob from Maryland: Good morning everybody! How is the snow up there?
	♥ 6:19am pgalub: Good morning Amanda, Jim and everyone! Hope it's toasty in the studio.
	6:20am LiXiviated Life: never thought of the circus being cruel though it did all seem sad to me.
	6:21am Rob from Maryland: I don't recall ever going to the circus. Which is probably good, that I never went.
	♥ 6:23am Amanda: The snow is deepening! But yes, studio is very warm, thankfully.
	♥ 6:24am Jim the Poet: This snow isn't ripe yet
	6:25am LiXiviated Life: Does anyone know at what point a snow fall becomes a blizzard? Are there metrics?
	6:26am Rob from Maryland: Stay warm up there! I saw wind chill predictions of -5 to +5. That is cold!
	6:26am LiXiviated Life: Wind speed ? Precip volume?
	6:26am Rob from Maryland: @LiXiviated, yes, there are metrics. Give me a second to get the definition
	6:27am Rob from Maryland: https://abc7ny.com/what-is-a-blizzard-definition-makes-snowstorm-vs/1685858/
	6:28am Rob from Maryland: A blizzard is a snowstorm on steroids. The term blizzard may be tossed around casually, but to officially qualify as a blizzard, a storm has to meet the following three criteria: 1. Sustained wind or frequent gusts of 35mph or greater. 2. Considerable falling and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to under a quarter mile. 3. These conditions have to continue for at least three consecutive hours!
	6:28am LiXiviated Life: Chet Baker
	6:30am LiXiviated Life: @ Rob from Md Thank you
	6:33am Toothgrinder Tom: And there used to be a fourth criteria, it had to be twenty degrees or lower - but that was dropped at some point.
	6:35am LiXiviated Life: I especially appreciate that there are 3 criteria. It’s an elegant simplicity. Everything should have no more than 5 defining criteria.
	6:37am Rob from Maryland: @LiXiviated, your welcome! I agree on simple elegant criteria
	6:37am Rob from Maryland: Here's a song about someone being trapped in a blizzzard: Camera Obscura "The Blizzard", a cover of the Jim Reeves song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEyLj-Gf8Ng
	6:38am LiXiviated Life: Amphibian Noise will be the name of my next Punk/EDM band
	6:38am Rob from Maryland: Um, *you're welcome #NeedCoffee
	6:38am dday: Woof-Mew all you Animaniacs. Just shoveled for an hour in the dark. 10 degrees in Pike County, PA. Better to do it now as temps are only going down & the wind will be kicking up. Be careful out there Easterners..I guess you are going to get hit the hardest. i see my little strays prints all over the snow so she must have a warmer place to be than I am offering. She's eating well as we feed her several times per day and night. Once we get a warm stretch I'll try to capture her.
	6:39am dday: All this "Blizzard" talk makes me want to head out to the Dairy Queen for one. mmmm
	6:41am Rob from Maryland: @dday, I hope you can capture your stray. Here there's maaaaybe 2 inches of snow on the ground, with less on the driveway & car tops. Shoveling (after 9 am of course) should be easy, though quite cold
	6:42am LiXiviated Life: I’m not getting out of bed before the sun.
	6:42am dday: @Rob. Same. We're probably going to be spared the brunt of this storm. I have a good friend in VA Beach. They've got some bad stuff coming at them today
	6:42am Rob from Maryland: I'm in the DC suburbs. Out by Ocean City MD there is already more snow, with even more predicted & they are under a blizzard warning
	6:44am dday: @Lix as a long time commuter (2 hrs min. in the A.M) for 25 years (now retired since 2010) my body clock still wakes me at 4AM to get going, so, I do :)
	6:44am dday: I guess coastal areas are going to get wind & frozen precip.
	6:45am seedfriend: Super windy and fun out there! Good morning
	6:45am Rob from Maryland: @dday, Virginia Beach wasn't under a Blizzard Warning but any snow down there is a Major Event. Our snow in the DC area is pretty much over
	♥ 6:46am Doug in JC: Good morning. I've been an early riser since the pandemic started. I don't know why.. I used to love sleeping until noon
	♥ 6:46am Doug in JC: @dday Remember to let your stray get a little hungry before you put the trap out. You probably know this already :)
	6:47am LiXiviated Life: Buddy is a dogish name while Mittens is cat-centric
	6:47am dday: Anything South of you and driving in bad weather becomes bumper cars. I worked all over the US & witnessed some wild stuff when bad weather hits the SE or SW U.S.
	6:47am dday: @Doug. Yep. Kitty O'Malley has been giving me instruction on capture :)
	6:48am LiXiviated Life: @dday I’ve been considering retirement this year What’s it like?
	6:49am dday: @Rob. That South of you comment was in reply to you :)
	6:50am dday: @Lix honestly it can be very boring. I'm a high energy person so keeping busy is sometimes hard. That plus some physical limitations I deal with.
	6:50am Rob from Maryland: @dday, I know it was! In a town in southern Delaware I once saw a sign warning that (if I remember correctly) a two-hour snowfall was an automatic snow emergency and no parking was allowed after that time
	♥ 6:51am dale: morning. saw a pileated woodpecker yesterday behind my house. well, heard him rapping away first. always a treat.
	♥ 6:54am Doug in JC: @dday Nice, she's an expert @dale Good morning. We saw some last weekend when we went for a hike. They're amazing
	6:57am yippie: Tora Tora Tora
	6:57am dday: Stepping away for some breakfast. Steel cut oats with bananas,strawberries & walnuts & then a piece of the apple crumble coffe cake I made yesterday. Back in a bit:)
	6:58am Rob from Maryland: @ddale, that's always nice to see Pileated Woodpeckers
	6:58am Rob from Maryland: Oops, @dale/Pileated Woodpeckers
	6:59am dday: Maybe Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) this morning ?
	7:00am yippie: kitsutsuki
	7:01am Pick Rickles: There was a cool label called Droll Yankee that released mostly bird songs. Then they stopped making records and focused on bird feeders which makes more sense.
	7:01am northguineahills: Luna!
	♥ 7:02am Amanda: @Pick Rickles lol, that does sound cool!
	7:04am LiXiviated Life: Favorite Luna this tiger Lilly
	7:06am yippie: somebody put a tiger in my tank
	7:09am dday: Buck Owens "I Got A Tiger By The Tail" (not a recommended thing to do).
	♥ 7:09am dale: dday - i made an apple cobbler yesterday. and am having oatmeal with a banana (and a spoonful of peanut butter) too. do you know 'night of the lion' by mark eric amanda? nice slab of 60s pop. jim the poet - do they sell chowder at fenway?
	♥ 7:10am Jim the Poet: They sell chowder everywhere in New England
	7:11am Rob from Maryland: A Wordle poem!!! This is great!
	7:12am Rob from Maryland: I just got today's Wordle, too!!
	7:12am Jackie G: Eenie meanie minie mo catch a Tiger by the toe
	♥ 7:13am Jim the Poet: The Tyger With a Y Tyger Tyger, did I spell it right, Just after midnight in the forests' night; What immortal hand or eye, Could help me win at Wordle? My mother always gets it in 4. Tom at Work gets it in 3 he's so lucky On what wings dare he aspire? He guessed PERKY in two? I have roaring to do? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? SINEW doesn't fit because I already guessed S What dread letters? & what dread vowels? I start with AEGIS which means something I don't know In what furnace was my brain? What the mount? what the hell is a Knoll? I am on my sixth guess I cannot guess AGAIN Apparently you can use letters twice I did not know I feel like this game mocketh me Did he smile to see me struggle? The Tyger hath rent my soul asunder for thee? Tyger Tyger you're not a word that fits, Roaring loudly as my chances are the pits: What immortal hand or eye, Dare I buy another vowel, Vanna White?
	♥ 7:15am Amanda: @dale "Night of the Lion" is very Bad Animals, good call.
	7:16am Jackie G: if he hollars let him go eene meanie minie mo
	♥ 7:17am dale: i haven't looked into the wordle craze yesterday. i'll wait until it's passe like fidget spinners and wine spritzers
	7:19am northguineahills: @dale: It's time I tackle that angry birds hoopla....
	7:20am Toothgrinder Tom: Oh yeah remember fidget spinners, they were supposed to help kids with adhd.
	7:21am Toothgrinder Tom: Night of the Loin (pork loin that is).
	7:22am Jackie G: Today's wordle first word - tiger. What else?
	♥ 7:23am dale: teach me tiger. gr gr gr gr gr grrrrr.
	7:25am dday: @dale good stuff (breakfast & song) That track sounds like it'd fit in any Austin Powers movie. :)
	7:25am Jackie G: Kids get mesmerized with poppers, this kinda new toy. Kids love them.
	7:28am yippie: in Japan the year of the tiger started on January 1 2022
	7:31am Jackie G: Trump played wordle on SNL last week. It was funny
	7:31am LiXiviated Life: Amanda 3 months ago was last year
	7:32am bob dublon Plasticland: @Yall..There is a Atlanta band named Tiger Tiger (a girl band that is an Offshoot of the Subsonics)
	7:32am Toothgrinder Tom: YeH I thought the year of the tiger was already well underway?
	7:34am HyperDose: There is a special place in heaven for people who build those winter cat shelters
	7:35am Toothgrinder Tom: We are (human) primates.
	7:36am Toothgrinder Tom: We are still evolving.
	♥ 7:37am melinda: Morning friends
	7:38am dday: My Sicilian Great Grandfather had a vestigial tail. Three external flesh covered vertebrae
	♥ 7:39am Amanda: morning @melinda! Good morning all!
	7:40am Toothgrinder Tom: I should follow dday’s example and go out to shovel snow but I can’t tear myself away from the radio.
	7:40am dday: Correction no vertebrae.
	7:41am dday: @Tom..I'd rather do a little shoveling a few times than a lot all at once
	7:45am Jackie G: Always thought Bela was a girl's name. But Bela Lugosi is not a girl. Bela Bartok is also not a girl.
	7:46am marcel: Morning humans and animals
	7:47am Rob from Maryland: I'm gonna shovel starting in about 1 hour and 13 minutes
	7:47am marcel: Oh no looks like I missed a really good poem : ( but still in time for kitty corner at least
	7:48am marcel: Knoll broke my streak too. Still mad
	7:49am Morgan: morning Amanda and Jim and all
	♥ 7:49am Jim the Poet: OH hey
	♥ 7:50am Amanda: Hi marcel! Luckily, if Jim posts the poem text here you don't really miss it :-) Helloooooo to all just joining!
	7:50am Morgan: looking forward to this mouth congress interview on efd
	7:50am Will: There is a terrific song by Built to Spill called "Living Zoo" where the singer laments that "we're like tigers in our cages" which is followed by a tiger roar that fits right into the tune.
	7:53am Rob from Maryland: I got knoll just fine. Some other word broke my streak
	♥ 7:55am Handy Haversack: Morning, Amanda, Jim, and all the early-rising animals out there.
	♥ 7:56am Strandlund: Good Morning Amanda and Jim!! Fed the kitties and I am settling in for the show!
	♥ 7:57am dale: this sounds a bit like roger miller.
	7:57am Morgan: handy hope youre more or less healed after your subway collision
	♥ 7:58am Handy Haversack: We have two kittens fresh from their Alteration here. Can't tell if they miss what was removed, but they definitely miss not wearing cones on their heads. All good, Morgan, thanks! Until the next mishap!
	7:58am Ben: Advance Base has an album called Animal Companionship. The track “Your Dog” would fit here I think.
	♥ 7:59am melinda: Great tune
	8:00am HyperDose: @Handy You have Elizabethan collars on BOTH of them? haha aww
	8:02am Morgan: oh no funnelhead kittens
	8:02am Toothgrinder Tom: 5 inches so far in Central Park.
	8:03am marcel: Purrrrrrrr
	♥ 8:05am Handy Haversack: It's pretty ridiculous, HyperDose. Has anyone else encountered the book The Animals in That Country? Reading it now. The premise is a epidemic virus that enables people to understand animals. And then what happens. I am reading it now. Review: strangehorizons.com... One available in Jersey City, I see! shop.wordbookstores.com...
	8:06am Morgan: that is a sweet story about the fillin switchover but i question all arbiters of what is good in music
	♥ 8:06am Handy Haversack: (Did I mention I'm reading it now? Sheesh.) Also: Next Sat., listener courtneynoir is the host on Drop In on the Rock and Soul stream!
	8:06am HyperDose: We did that with one of our dogs when he broke- wait for it.... a single toe! I'd take him to do his business in the backyard because I didn't want anyone to see 😂
	8:07am Toothgrinder Tom: Has anybody read Gary Shteyngart’s latest novel ‘Our Country Friends’? I’m curious but most of the reviews have been scathing.
	8:08am TDK60: Good morning.
	♥ 8:09am Handy Haversack: Amanda, Jim, if you have any spare Bad Animal pixie dust sitting around that you could send out to Goblin and Bugbear in their recovery from the Most Unkindest Cut of All, I'm sure they'd appreciate it! Morning, TDK60!
	8:09am Toothgrinder Tom: Looks like Long Island’s getting the snow pretty hard.
	8:10am Morgan: especially when those arbiters come from such a homogeneous circle of people
	8:12am marcel: If tortoise is only half as cool as this song…
	♥ 8:13am Jim the Poet: I thought that book was non-fiction
	♥ 8:14am melinda: How adorable, bongos as fox footsteps
	8:14am TDK60: Hi Handy.
	8:14am Toothgrinder Tom: @Jim you mean ‘Our Country Friends’? It’s Shteyngart’s take on the Russian novel but set in pandemic times.
	♥ 8:15am Handy Haversack: Jim, they're evacuating Scituate! Does that mean they're leaving Cohasset to its fate?
	8:15am Ben: That Fox song was really fun. Nice play!
	♥ 8:18am Amanda: Whoa look at all these comments! Thanks for waking up to us!
	8:18am Morgan: then you get supporter comments like ‘I loved that show. My wife used to fetch me a hot drink and let me listen to it’
	♥ 8:19am Strandlund: My big orange tabby, Calder, every Saturday gets up next to the computer speakers to hear his favorite WFMU show, Bad Animals!! He says, "Hello."
	♥ 8:20am Jim the Poet: SAVE THE SOUTH SHORE
	8:20am marcel: Hi Calder!
	8:21am Toothgrinder Tom: @Amanda ‘Bad Animals’ is required listening because of its unique, relaxing headspace. Keep up the great work!
	♥ 8:22am dale: jim, what are you doing with your sketchbooks? lotta gold in those drawings.
	♥ 8:23am karlward: Hello Freebird
	♥ 8:23am Jim the Poet: STAY TUNED!!!!
	8:24am P-90: Where the avant garde meets the barnyard
	♥ 8:24am Amanda: Yesss keep the great Yelp reviews coming
	♥ 8:25am Amanda: See what I did there
	8:26am Listener Robert: Reminds me of the recordings the Hound has been closing with lately of someone taking the tough-guy approach to teaching his parrot to talk.
	8:27am TDK60: Wow, this Bryne/YLT seems to be climbing the WFMU charts.
	8:30am kitty.omalley: Good morning Amanda and Jim, from me and Thor the Cat! I gave Thor a chance to type his own message, but he ended up shutting the computer down.
	8:30am TDK60: I can almost see the wind as the snow is small and my window faces west. Intense out there, and cold seeping right through the walls.
	♥ 8:31am Strandlund: Jim, your drawings would make great marathon premiums...
	8:32am HyperDose: The bird one just made me think of Dumb & Dumber
	♥ 8:32am ParUbi: This sentient being loved that track
	♥ 8:33am StringOFperils: Your own shadow can be a tough thing to face.
	8:34am Morgan: yeah deBlasio spiked our groundhog :(
	8:34am P-90: Very trendy, “encased in fat” is THE place to be these days
	8:36am marcel: wow storm... super topical kitty!!
	8:37am marcel: ohhhh 🥺 so distinguished
	♥ 8:37am dale: my wife started a new job a few months ago and felt like she had to drive in this morning. only 7 or 8 miles but i wish she had stayed home.
	8:37am Chuck: Storm is a substantial cat.
	♥ 8:38am Handy Haversack: Very pretty cat!
	♥ 8:38am melinda: cute Storm
	♥ 8:38am StringOFperils: Give that guy a home. He has cool guy written all over him.
	8:38am marcel: indeed
	8:38am kitty.omalley: Storm is a classy boy!
	8:39am ChuckAmok: C'mon, Bayonne! Help this guy out.
	8:39am P-90: Wait, did she say Stormy has “smelly white mittens and socks”?!
	♥ 8:39am Strandlund: Storm looks like a heck of a guy!!
	♥ 8:40am Handy Haversack: Hmmm, seems like we know someone in Bayonne ...
	8:40am kitty.omalley: Um, snowy white mittens and socks...
	♥ 8:40am Amanda: Snowy!
	8:41am TDK60: I never saw What's New Pussycat? Did I miss anything?
	♥ 8:41am Webhamster Henry: This show needs to play the theme song from Chi's Sweet Home.
	8:42am kitty.omalley: That movie hasn't aged well, TDK60.
	8:42am HyperDose: SM Ken, Handy's doxxing me! 🙈 Princess Missy would not tolerate another feline presence. At least not meow. I'm head over heels for her lovable, sassy butt!
	♥ 8:43am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that would be my guess, too, TDK60. Though I admire its commitment to egg salad, the world's best salad.
	♥ 8:44am melinda: kitty ska
	8:45am HyperDose: R.I.P. Mighty Mighty Bosstones 🎷🪦
	8:46am P-90: Thanks, “snowy white mittens and socks” is a teensy bit less disturbing
	♥ 8:49am Amanda: Besides being horribly sexist, What's New Pussycat contained too few cats for my liking.
	♥ 8:51am dale: isn't jump jump off debbie's kookoo album about her doggie?
	8:52am kitty.omalley: Storm is a very clean cat, I guarantee!
	♥ 8:53am Handy Haversack: Thanks for braving the weather for all us animals, Jim and Amanda! Great stuff as always. Glad the kittens woke me up. Good luck, Storm! Later on, all! Stay warm and safe.
	♥ 8:54am Jim the Poet: Good luck to us all!
	8:55am TDK60: Yes, thanks Amanda & Jim for going through the storm to keep free-form radio going.
	8:56am Rob from Maryland: Amanda and Jim, I'm glad you braved the weather and made it out to WFMU on time this morning. Stay safe and warm today!
	♥ 8:56am Amanda: Thank you all so so much for listening today! We so appreciate your support every week. Stay fat-encased everyone.
	8:57am Cabbage: Gmorning all from Philadelphia 🌴
	8:57am HyperDose: Thank YOU animal lovers :)
	8:57am kitty.omalley: Thank you Amanda and Jim for making it to the station to entertain and enlighten us! The kitties appreciate you, too!

	6:15am LiXiviated Life: Blending weirdly with the sound of snow plows just below my window
	♥ 6:17am Amanda: @northguineahills, talk about a horn section...
	6:19am Rob from Maryland: Good morning everybody! How is the snow up there?
	♥ 6:19am pgalub: Good morning Amanda, Jim and everyone! Hope it's toasty in the studio.
	6:20am LiXiviated Life: never thought of the circus being cruel though it did all seem sad to me.
	6:21am Rob from Maryland: I don't recall ever going to the circus. Which is probably good, that I never went.
	♥ 6:23am Amanda: The snow is deepening! But yes, studio is very warm, thankfully.
	♥ 6:24am Jim the Poet: This snow isn't ripe yet
	6:25am LiXiviated Life: Does anyone know at what point a snow fall becomes a blizzard? Are there metrics?
	6:26am Rob from Maryland: Stay warm up there! I saw wind chill predictions of -5 to +5. That is cold!
	6:26am LiXiviated Life: Wind speed ? Precip volume?
	6:26am Rob from Maryland: @LiXiviated, yes, there are metrics. Give me a second to get the definition
	6:27am Rob from Maryland: https://abc7ny.com/what-is-a-blizzard-definition-makes-snowstorm-vs/1685858/
	6:28am Rob from Maryland: A blizzard is a snowstorm on steroids. The term blizzard may be tossed around casually, but to officially qualify as a blizzard, a storm has to meet the following three criteria: 1. Sustained wind or frequent gusts of 35mph or greater. 2. Considerable falling and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to under a quarter mile. 3. These conditions have to continue for at least three consecutive hours!
	6:28am LiXiviated Life: Chet Baker
	6:30am LiXiviated Life: @ Rob from Md Thank you
	6:33am Toothgrinder Tom: And there used to be a fourth criteria, it had to be twenty degrees or lower - but that was dropped at some point.
	6:35am LiXiviated Life: I especially appreciate that there are 3 criteria. It’s an elegant simplicity. Everything should have no more than 5 defining criteria.
	6:37am Rob from Maryland: @LiXiviated, your welcome! I agree on simple elegant criteria
	6:37am Rob from Maryland: Here's a song about someone being trapped in a blizzzard: Camera Obscura "The Blizzard", a cover of the Jim Reeves song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEyLj-Gf8Ng
	6:38am LiXiviated Life: Amphibian Noise will be the name of my next Punk/EDM band
	6:38am Rob from Maryland: Um, *you're welcome #NeedCoffee
	6:38am dday: Woof-Mew all you Animaniacs. Just shoveled for an hour in the dark. 10 degrees in Pike County, PA. Better to do it now as temps are only going down & the wind will be kicking up. Be careful out there Easterners..I guess you are going to get hit the hardest. i see my little strays prints all over the snow so she must have a warmer place to be than I am offering. She's eating well as we feed her several times per day and night. Once we get a warm stretch I'll try to capture her.
	6:39am dday: All this "Blizzard" talk makes me want to head out to the Dairy Queen for one. mmmm
	6:41am Rob from Maryland: @dday, I hope you can capture your stray. Here there's maaaaybe 2 inches of snow on the ground, with less on the driveway & car tops. Shoveling (after 9 am of course) should be easy, though quite cold
	6:42am LiXiviated Life: I’m not getting out of bed before the sun.
	6:42am dday: @Rob. Same. We're probably going to be spared the brunt of this storm. I have a good friend in VA Beach. They've got some bad stuff coming at them today
	6:42am Rob from Maryland: I'm in the DC suburbs. Out by Ocean City MD there is already more snow, with even more predicted & they are under a blizzard warning
	6:44am dday: @Lix as a long time commuter (2 hrs min. in the A.M) for 25 years (now retired since 2010) my body clock still wakes me at 4AM to get going, so, I do :)
	6:44am dday: I guess coastal areas are going to get wind & frozen precip.
	6:45am seedfriend: Super windy and fun out there! Good morning
	6:45am Rob from Maryland: @dday, Virginia Beach wasn't under a Blizzard Warning but any snow down there is a Major Event. Our snow in the DC area is pretty much over
	♥ 6:46am Doug in JC: Good morning. I've been an early riser since the pandemic started. I don't know why.. I used to love sleeping until noon
	♥ 6:46am Doug in JC: @dday Remember to let your stray get a little hungry before you put the trap out. You probably know this already :)
	6:47am LiXiviated Life: Buddy is a dogish name while Mittens is cat-centric
	6:47am dday: Anything South of you and driving in bad weather becomes bumper cars. I worked all over the US & witnessed some wild stuff when bad weather hits the SE or SW U.S.
	6:47am dday: @Doug. Yep. Kitty O'Malley has been giving me instruction on capture :)
	6:48am LiXiviated Life: @dday I’ve been considering retirement this year What’s it like?
	6:49am dday: @Rob. That South of you comment was in reply to you :)
	6:50am dday: @Lix honestly it can be very boring. I'm a high energy person so keeping busy is sometimes hard. That plus some physical limitations I deal with.
	6:50am Rob from Maryland: @dday, I know it was! In a town in southern Delaware I once saw a sign warning that (if I remember correctly) a two-hour snowfall was an automatic snow emergency and no parking was allowed after that time
	♥ 6:51am dale: morning. saw a pileated woodpecker yesterday behind my house. well, heard him rapping away first. always a treat.
	♥ 6:54am Doug in JC: @dday Nice, she's an expert @dale Good morning. We saw some last weekend when we went for a hike. They're amazing
	6:57am yippie: Tora Tora Tora
	6:57am dday: Stepping away for some breakfast. Steel cut oats with bananas,strawberries & walnuts & then a piece of the apple crumble coffe cake I made yesterday. Back in a bit:)
	6:58am Rob from Maryland: @ddale, that's always nice to see Pileated Woodpeckers
	6:58am Rob from Maryland: Oops, @dale/Pileated Woodpeckers
	6:59am dday: Maybe Eno's Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) this morning ?
	7:00am yippie: kitsutsuki
	7:01am Pick Rickles: There was a cool label called Droll Yankee that released mostly bird songs. Then they stopped making records and focused on bird feeders which makes more sense.
	7:01am northguineahills: Luna!
	♥ 7:02am Amanda: @Pick Rickles lol, that does sound cool!
	7:04am LiXiviated Life: Favorite Luna this tiger Lilly
	7:06am yippie: somebody put a tiger in my tank
	7:09am dday: Buck Owens "I Got A Tiger By The Tail" (not a recommended thing to do).
	♥ 7:09am dale: dday - i made an apple cobbler yesterday. and am having oatmeal with a banana (and a spoonful of peanut butter) too. do you know 'night of the lion' by mark eric amanda? nice slab of 60s pop. jim the poet - do they sell chowder at fenway?
	♥ 7:10am Jim the Poet: They sell chowder everywhere in New England
	7:11am Rob from Maryland: A Wordle poem!!! This is great!
	7:12am Rob from Maryland: I just got today's Wordle, too!!
	7:12am Jackie G: Eenie meanie minie mo catch a Tiger by the toe
	♥ 7:13am Jim the Poet: The Tyger With a Y Tyger Tyger, did I spell it right, Just after midnight in the forests' night; What immortal hand or eye, Could help me win at Wordle? My mother always gets it in 4. Tom at Work gets it in 3 he's so lucky On what wings dare he aspire? He guessed PERKY in two? I have roaring to do? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? SINEW doesn't fit because I already guessed S What dread letters? & what dread vowels? I start with AEGIS which means something I don't know In what furnace was my brain? What the mount? what the hell is a Knoll? I am on my sixth guess I cannot guess AGAIN Apparently you can use letters twice I did not know I feel like this game mocketh me Did he smile to see me struggle? The Tyger hath rent my soul asunder for thee? Tyger Tyger you're not a word that fits, Roaring loudly as my chances are the pits: What immortal hand or eye, Dare I buy another vowel, Vanna White?
	♥ 7:15am Amanda: @dale "Night of the Lion" is very Bad Animals, good call.
	7:16am Jackie G: if he hollars let him go eene meanie minie mo
	♥ 7:17am dale: i haven't looked into the wordle craze yesterday. i'll wait until it's passe like fidget spinners and wine spritzers
	7:19am northguineahills: @dale: It's time I tackle that angry birds hoopla....
	7:20am Toothgrinder Tom: Oh yeah remember fidget spinners, they were supposed to help kids with adhd.
	7:21am Toothgrinder Tom: Night of the Loin (pork loin that is).
	7:22am Jackie G: Today's wordle first word - tiger. What else?
	♥ 7:23am dale: teach me tiger. gr gr gr gr gr grrrrr.
	7:25am dday: @dale good stuff (breakfast & song) That track sounds like it'd fit in any Austin Powers movie. :)
	7:25am Jackie G: Kids get mesmerized with poppers, this kinda new toy. Kids love them.
	7:28am yippie: in Japan the year of the tiger started on January 1 2022
	7:31am Jackie G: Trump played wordle on SNL last week. It was funny
	7:31am LiXiviated Life: Amanda 3 months ago was last year
	7:32am bob dublon Plasticland: @Yall..There is a Atlanta band named Tiger Tiger (a girl band that is an Offshoot of the Subsonics)
	7:32am Toothgrinder Tom: YeH I thought the year of the tiger was already well underway?
	7:34am HyperDose: There is a special place in heaven for people who build those winter cat shelters
	7:35am Toothgrinder Tom: We are (human) primates.
	7:36am Toothgrinder Tom: We are still evolving.
	♥ 7:37am melinda: Morning friends
	7:38am dday: My Sicilian Great Grandfather had a vestigial tail. Three external flesh covered vertebrae
	♥ 7:39am Amanda: morning @melinda! Good morning all!
	7:40am Toothgrinder Tom: I should follow dday’s example and go out to shovel snow but I can’t tear myself away from the radio.
	7:40am dday: Correction no vertebrae.
	7:41am dday: @Tom..I'd rather do a little shoveling a few times than a lot all at once
	7:45am Jackie G: Always thought Bela was a girl's name. But Bela Lugosi is not a girl. Bela Bartok is also not a girl.
	7:46am marcel: Morning humans and animals
	7:47am Rob from Maryland: I'm gonna shovel starting in about 1 hour and 13 minutes
	7:47am marcel: Oh no looks like I missed a really good poem : ( but still in time for kitty corner at least
	7:48am marcel: Knoll broke my streak too. Still mad
	7:49am Morgan: morning Amanda and Jim and all
	♥ 7:49am Jim the Poet: OH hey
	♥ 7:50am Amanda: Hi marcel! Luckily, if Jim posts the poem text here you don't really miss it :-) Helloooooo to all just joining!
	7:50am Morgan: looking forward to this mouth congress interview on efd
	7:50am Will: There is a terrific song by Built to Spill called "Living Zoo" where the singer laments that "we're like tigers in our cages" which is followed by a tiger roar that fits right into the tune.
	7:53am Rob from Maryland: I got knoll just fine. Some other word broke my streak
	♥ 7:55am Handy Haversack: Morning, Amanda, Jim, and all the early-rising animals out there.
	♥ 7:56am Strandlund: Good Morning Amanda and Jim!! Fed the kitties and I am settling in for the show!
	♥ 7:57am dale: this sounds a bit like roger miller.
	7:57am Morgan: handy hope youre more or less healed after your subway collision
	♥ 7:58am Handy Haversack: We have two kittens fresh from their Alteration here. Can't tell if they miss what was removed, but they definitely miss not wearing cones on their heads. All good, Morgan, thanks! Until the next mishap!
	7:58am Ben: Advance Base has an album called Animal Companionship. The track “Your Dog” would fit here I think.
	♥ 7:59am melinda: Great tune
	8:00am HyperDose: @Handy You have Elizabethan collars on BOTH of them? haha aww
	8:02am Morgan: oh no funnelhead kittens
	8:02am Toothgrinder Tom: 5 inches so far in Central Park.
	8:03am marcel: Purrrrrrrr
	♥ 8:05am Handy Haversack: It's pretty ridiculous, HyperDose. Has anyone else encountered the book The Animals in That Country? Reading it now. The premise is a epidemic virus that enables people to understand animals. And then what happens. I am reading it now. Review: strangehorizons.com... One available in Jersey City, I see! shop.wordbookstores.com...
	8:06am Morgan: that is a sweet story about the fillin switchover but i question all arbiters of what is good in music
	♥ 8:06am Handy Haversack: (Did I mention I'm reading it now? Sheesh.) Also: Next Sat., listener courtneynoir is the host on Drop In on the Rock and Soul stream!
	8:06am HyperDose: We did that with one of our dogs when he broke- wait for it.... a single toe! I'd take him to do his business in the backyard because I didn't want anyone to see 😂
	8:07am Toothgrinder Tom: Has anybody read Gary Shteyngart’s latest novel ‘Our Country Friends’? I’m curious but most of the reviews have been scathing.
	8:08am TDK60: Good morning.
	♥ 8:09am Handy Haversack: Amanda, Jim, if you have any spare Bad Animal pixie dust sitting around that you could send out to Goblin and Bugbear in their recovery from the Most Unkindest Cut of All, I'm sure they'd appreciate it! Morning, TDK60!
	8:09am Toothgrinder Tom: Looks like Long Island’s getting the snow pretty hard.
	8:10am Morgan: especially when those arbiters come from such a homogeneous circle of people
	8:12am marcel: If tortoise is only half as cool as this song…
	♥ 8:13am Jim the Poet: I thought that book was non-fiction
	♥ 8:14am melinda: How adorable, bongos as fox footsteps
	8:14am TDK60: Hi Handy.
	8:14am Toothgrinder Tom: @Jim you mean ‘Our Country Friends’? It’s Shteyngart’s take on the Russian novel but set in pandemic times.
	♥ 8:15am Handy Haversack: Jim, they're evacuating Scituate! Does that mean they're leaving Cohasset to its fate?
	8:15am Ben: That Fox song was really fun. Nice play!
	♥ 8:18am Amanda: Whoa look at all these comments! Thanks for waking up to us!
	8:18am Morgan: then you get supporter comments like ‘I loved that show. My wife used to fetch me a hot drink and let me listen to it’
	♥ 8:19am Strandlund: My big orange tabby, Calder, every Saturday gets up next to the computer speakers to hear his favorite WFMU show, Bad Animals!! He says, "Hello."
	♥ 8:20am Jim the Poet: SAVE THE SOUTH SHORE
	8:20am marcel: Hi Calder!
	8:21am Toothgrinder Tom: @Amanda ‘Bad Animals’ is required listening because of its unique, relaxing headspace. Keep up the great work!
	♥ 8:22am dale: jim, what are you doing with your sketchbooks? lotta gold in those drawings.
	♥ 8:23am karlward: Hello Freebird
	♥ 8:23am Jim the Poet: STAY TUNED!!!!
	8:24am P-90: Where the avant garde meets the barnyard
	♥ 8:24am Amanda: Yesss keep the great Yelp reviews coming
	♥ 8:25am Amanda: See what I did there
	8:26am Listener Robert: Reminds me of the recordings the Hound has been closing with lately of someone taking the tough-guy approach to teaching his parrot to talk.
	8:27am TDK60: Wow, this Bryne/YLT seems to be climbing the WFMU charts.
	8:30am kitty.omalley: Good morning Amanda and Jim, from me and Thor the Cat! I gave Thor a chance to type his own message, but he ended up shutting the computer down.
	8:30am TDK60: I can almost see the wind as the snow is small and my window faces west. Intense out there, and cold seeping right through the walls.
	♥ 8:31am Strandlund: Jim, your drawings would make great marathon premiums...
	8:32am HyperDose: The bird one just made me think of Dumb & Dumber
	♥ 8:32am ParUbi: This sentient being loved that track
	♥ 8:33am StringOFperils: Your own shadow can be a tough thing to face.
	8:34am Morgan: yeah deBlasio spiked our groundhog :(
	8:34am P-90: Very trendy, “encased in fat” is THE place to be these days
	8:36am marcel: wow storm... super topical kitty!!
	8:37am marcel: ohhhh 🥺 so distinguished
	♥ 8:37am dale: my wife started a new job a few months ago and felt like she had to drive in this morning. only 7 or 8 miles but i wish she had stayed home.
	8:37am Chuck: Storm is a substantial cat.
	♥ 8:38am Handy Haversack: Very pretty cat!
	♥ 8:38am melinda: cute Storm
	♥ 8:38am StringOFperils: Give that guy a home. He has cool guy written all over him.
	8:38am marcel: indeed
	8:38am kitty.omalley: Storm is a classy boy!
	8:39am ChuckAmok: C'mon, Bayonne! Help this guy out.
	8:39am P-90: Wait, did she say Stormy has “smelly white mittens and socks”?!
	♥ 8:39am Strandlund: Storm looks like a heck of a guy!!
	♥ 8:40am Handy Haversack: Hmmm, seems like we know someone in Bayonne ...
	8:40am kitty.omalley: Um, snowy white mittens and socks...
	♥ 8:40am Amanda: Snowy!
	8:41am TDK60: I never saw What's New Pussycat? Did I miss anything?
	♥ 8:41am Webhamster Henry: This show needs to play the theme song from Chi's Sweet Home.
	8:42am kitty.omalley: That movie hasn't aged well, TDK60.
	8:42am HyperDose: SM Ken, Handy's doxxing me! 🙈 Princess Missy would not tolerate another feline presence. At least not meow. I'm head over heels for her lovable, sassy butt!
	♥ 8:43am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that would be my guess, too, TDK60. Though I admire its commitment to egg salad, the world's best salad.
	♥ 8:44am melinda: kitty ska
	8:45am HyperDose: R.I.P. Mighty Mighty Bosstones 🎷🪦
	8:46am P-90: Thanks, “snowy white mittens and socks” is a teensy bit less disturbing
	♥ 8:49am Amanda: Besides being horribly sexist, What's New Pussycat contained too few cats for my liking.
	♥ 8:51am dale: isn't jump jump off debbie's kookoo album about her doggie?
	8:52am kitty.omalley: Storm is a very clean cat, I guarantee!
	♥ 8:53am Handy Haversack: Thanks for braving the weather for all us animals, Jim and Amanda! Great stuff as always. Glad the kittens woke me up. Good luck, Storm! Later on, all! Stay warm and safe.
	♥ 8:54am Jim the Poet: Good luck to us all!
	8:55am TDK60: Yes, thanks Amanda & Jim for going through the storm to keep free-form radio going.
	8:56am Rob from Maryland: Amanda and Jim, I'm glad you braved the weather and made it out to WFMU on time this morning. Stay safe and warm today!
	♥ 8:56am Amanda: Thank you all so so much for listening today! We so appreciate your support every week. Stay fat-encased everyone.
