WFMU: Pseu's Thing With A Hook: Playlist from March 31, 2022

Listener comments!
	12:02pm prof.fuzz: Ears at attention!
	12:02pm Krys O.: Good afternoon, Pseu & everyone!
	12:03pm MikeG: Hi kids!
	12:04pm MelAllen21: Hey Pseu, I'm with you. Hello everybody!
	12:06pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Pseu and fellow Hookers!
	12:08pm McGroovey: I'm thinking of going for a bike ride. It's not too cold!
	12:09pm Andres: Hi, Pseu! Hey, all!
	12:11pm Ciggy: Testing my brakes and tire pressure before I head out on my bike McGroovey
	12:11pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo, stopping in for two seconds to say Hi to Pseu and my fellow Hookers...
	12:12pm Tom from Stirling.: Hi Pseu. What's new?
	12:15pm Doug in MP: I haven't been on a bike ride in months. Hopefully Saturday...
	12:16pm Tom from Stirling.: If you're on your bike and you ride at night, wear white.
	12:17pm HyperDose: TONE
	12:18pm Bimbus Bambus: the Faith Hill cover we've all been waiting for!
	12:19pm larry of lackawack: when do we hit bottom?
	12:19pm McGroovey: @Ciggy where do you ride? I live in North Bergen, and I ride north. Since this is my first ride if the year, I'll probably ride to Fort Lee (8 miles RT). As I get back in shape, that becomes Englewood Cliffs (14 miles), Alpine (26), State Line (36), Piermont (40, but I have to ride back up that 2-mile hill), etcetera.
	12:19pm luka: this song has always banged and i couldn't think of a better choice to cover it
	12:21pm Pseu Braun: @luka agreed. HELLO HOOKERS!
	12:22pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Ps'up Pseu!
	12:22pm EG_Astro: YESSSSSSSSS
	12:22pm Pseu Braun: @Bimbus it's not Faith Hill, it's Shania Twain
	12:22pm Tom from Stirling.: Running is good but biking is better. Walking doesnt count.
	12:23pm Jack McGuire: I heard the polar opposite of this crackin Alex Lahey cover in the grocery store the other day-a pop country cover of ELO's When I was a Boy. Hey honey, we're out of poop bags.
	12:23pm Pseu Braun: @larry, honey we're always at rock bottom here.
	12:23pm Bimbus Bambus: ...are you trying to gaslight me, Pseu??
	12:24pm Polyus: Well that was one very triumphant guitar solo there.
	12:25pm McGroovey: This Lindsey Lohan thing wwrrocks. Isn't she famous for something else? What do I know? I only listen to WFMU and watch old movies.
	12:25pm Yes: Yo
	12:29pm karlward: I think all Lohan movies qualify as old movies now
	12:30pm HyperDose: I was more of a Lizzie McGuire kid
	12:31pm Pseu Braun: McGroovey, Lindsay Lohan IS in old movies.
	12:34pm Jonah: Doing a partial return to my old office starting next Thursdays so I won’t be able to listen live as much as I could during remote work. It’s been so much fun listening!
	12:36pm luka: i'm afraid it is faith hill though pseu
	12:37pm Bimbus Bambus: Thank you, luka. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
	12:39pm Pseu Braun: I'm afraid not, you guys. Shania Twain.
	12:41pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy to you, Pseu! What was that "chisme" you mentioned in reference to the Velour Acadamy record? That is a slang word that Mexican/Spanish speakers use for "gossip" or "dirt." Hadn't heard it used since I left LA 14 years ago.
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: OK, you guys, I'm afraid it's not Shania Twain.
	12:43pm Jack McGuire: It does appear to be Faith Hill, but of course was written by no less than 3 songwriters.
	12:44pm Krys O.: This Kiss is Faith Hill. en.wikipedia.org...
	12:44pm Krys O.: Shania had a song called When You Kiss Me.
	12:45pm Bimbus Bambus: Damon Albarn, is that you?
	12:46pm Krys O.: Funnily enough, Cilla Black covered This Kiss in 2003.
	12:47pm Dennis Diken: thanks for the spin, Pseu
	12:48pm Alvy Singer: Gone are the days when the NY Post used referred to Lindsay Lohan as the top heavy teen queen or Lilo.
	12:48pm McGroovey: It's always an an anticipatory cringe when I hear the phrase begin "... between you and ...", followed by a sigh of relief when the next word isn't "... I". (My dad was an English teacher...)
	12:50pm MelAllen21: Graham Parker & the Rumour: Between You and Me
	12:50pm McGroovey: When the preceding line ends with "eye" or "cry" or "lie", I have to turn off the radio on the "and".
	12:50pm Roberto: McGroovey, don't get me started. Or do. People don't generally use logic when speaking or writing.
	12:53pm Pseu Braun: FINE here's a real Shania Twain song
	12:53pm Krys O.: There are soooooo many grammatical errors in pop music that it is insanity to try to correct them.
	12:53pm McGroovey: @Roberto true enough. But if I had to sing "between you and I" a second time, I'd have to change it.
	12:54pm Roberto: Rastafarians are, of course, exempt.
	12:54pm McGroovey: Of course.
	12:55pm Chop Scott: Hello Pseu! Listening comfortably...
	12:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Dang I love this song. Is that Lindley on violin?
	12:56pm Baja Joe: Hello Pseu!
	12:56pm judy from croton: Right on, Pseu
	12:56pm Jack McGuire: Say what you like, this guy wrote "These Days."
	12:59pm Bill in W.O.: Say what you like, this guy wrote "Jet Airliner."
	1:00pm Stevel: Great cover of The Joker. Can't remember any other notable attempts. Great song!
	1:00pm Pseu Braun: Say what you like, this guy wrote This Kiss
	1:02pm Power Papi: Actually, Paul Pena wrote Jet Airliner
	1:02pm McGroovey: Nothing wrong with Jackson Brown--or nothing that was his fault. When he was coming out of every other dorm room stereo (alternating with Billy Joel, Phil Collins, etc) in the eighties, that was irritating. But I don't guess it's Jackson Brown's fault that those irritating Long Island kids loved his records way too much
	1:02pm Jack McGuire: Somebody give me a cheeseburger.
	1:03pm eastvanhalen: That was a most entertaining chat scrollback. Good morning!
	1:04pm morphe': fruit bats the joker that was a nice cover ... thanks Pseu
	1:04pm Andres: "This Kiss" was nominated for two Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song, losing both to "You're Still the One" by Canadian singer Shania Twain. - from da 'pedia
	1:04pm McGroovey: I don't have a job cheeseburger to give you, but I do have fish and meatballs in the freezer.
	1:04pm Bill in W.O.: @PowerPapi I...did not know that. Was making leetle joke, mostly, but I have learned something today.
	1:07pm Bill in W.O.: Ugh, sort of a paper cut on steroids. Ouch.
	1:07pm MelAllen21: @Jack McGuire: Living in the USA. I hear you.
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: @McG: I'm all ears for a song lacking in cheeseburgers but with other fish and flesh in the freezer. Please continue!
	1:10pm McGroovey: I don't know how "job" snuck into my list comment.
	1:10pm McGroovey: *last
	1:11pm prof.fuzz: @McG: No job cheeseburger, but work fish...
	1:11pm McGroovey: A song about flesh in the freezer.... That's an OK idea...
	1:12pm McGroovey: There are probably already too many songs about getting a job, and almost as many about cheeseburgers, but flesh in the freezer is an untapped vein, as far as I know...
	1:15pm Pseu Braun: THANK U ANDRES SHEESH
	1:17pm EG_Astro: Thank you for the excellent covers today Pseu
	1:18pm Jason from Houston: Ohhhhhhhh shoot... ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	1:18pm MelAllen21: Nice segue Pseu!
	1:19pm dale: hey now. my mother HATED karen caarpenter....that breath she took between every line really pissed her off. she loved bobby vinton though...he didn't breathe a lot.
	1:19pm James in ATL: Enjoying all the hooks. Thank you Pseu. What a voice! Karen forever.
	1:20pm prof.fuzz: We need more songs about random stuff in the fridge and/or freezer. We have one on our next album inspired by a jar of olives... But that's only the tip of the grocery list.
	1:21pm Andres: Noticing more Carpenters on the mothership and streams lately. I am appreciative.
	1:23pm MelAllen21: If I Was A Carpenter
	1:24pm eastvanhalen: Ok, who's going to start talking about the subjunctive...
	1:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Hi WFMU World!
	1:25pm McGroovey: Dang. I was going to write a song about olives, but now I can't.
	1:26pm Krys O.: @dale: What about Mr. Lonely? That tune is chock full of Bobby Vinton's sobs and heaving.
	1:26pm MelAllen21: @eastvanhalen: Excellent!
	1:26pm McGroovey: I couldn't decide whether the rhyme should be "festive", or "restive". Or maybe "best if", though Stephin Merritt wouldn't approve of the inexact rhyme.
	1:27pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): How about a song about the jar of Castelvetrano olives I bought, not knowing they were not pitted?
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: I wanted to name my daughter "Manzanilla Olive" but my wife and daughter (now 30) vetoed the plan. There are few songs about pickled veggies, McG. Maybe we can do a split single...
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: @Woods of NH: Called "Broken Tooth Blues"
	1:28pm Krys O.: Kalamata would be a nice name.
	1:29pm Jack McGuire: The Revillos have a comp called From the Freezer.
	1:29pm dale: krys o....YESH. i think she gave the polish prince a pass on that one.
	1:29pm Krys O.: Good one, Jack!
	1:30pm McGroovey: .... pickled veggies (something something) wedgies Yeah, that had possibilities.
	1:30pm Jason from Houston: LOL
	1:30pm Jason from Houston: Nice and weird. Top notch.
	1:30pm Krys O.: More Songs About Buildings and Food
	1:31pm McGroovey: has Dam this autocorrect!
	1:31pm Jack McGuire: Thx Krys!
	1:36pm prof.fuzz: stupid autocarrot! FACT: Autocorrect on my phone auto-fills "autoc" as "autocarrot".
	1:39pm Trey: 🎶You make me happy when skies are grey!🎶 And even when they aren’t. Thank you
	1:40pm Gerry from Miami: Call any vegetable, call it by name, and the vegetable will respond to you!! R-U-U-T-A-B-A-A-G-A...........
	1:41pm chris_in_space: Whoa, Mike Lupica back on WFMU? RIGHT ON.
	1:41pm LesleyK: Hey Pseu and everyone!
	1:41pm Jack McGuire: WPRB? Thanks fer sharin'.
	1:42pm MelAllen21: @Gerry from Miami: Hello Frank Zappa!
	1:42pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Death Metal?
	1:45pm Pseu Braun: HEY TREY! Welcome all ...
	1:45pm Bucksomcounty: Hi Pseu! Thanks for all the gooey good banter each week!
	1:46pm Ryansterlingvirtue: this album is fantastic. I recommend everyone pick up the pretty white vinyl tomorrow for BC Friday.
	1:47pm Gerry from Miami: @MelAllen21. I play Frank's music every day. The new 10-disc box set of the 1971 band with Flo and Eddie is pricey, but worth it. And you might get a kick out of a video on YouTube where son Dweezil shows off his very unusual collection of guitars. The spirit of Zappa lives on!
	1:49pm MelAllen21: @Gerry from Miami: He is truly missed. A genius if ever there was one. Take care.
	1:50pm joseloalter: I love your show, Pseu. Thank you!!
	1:56pm McGroovey: Colin Blunstone's voice
	1:56pm MelAllen21: What a voice! The great Colin Blunstone. Thanks Pseu.
	1:58pm McGroovey: I was thinking of buying this Massage record, and then the other day when I was filling my recent purchases in their respective alphabetic locations, I discovered that I already bought it. This is how I end up with two copies of things.
	1:59pm Rich in Washington: This is lovely
	1:59pm Ryansterlingvirtue: @mccgroovey. I like massage too. I might pick that up tomorrow. Thanks for the rec. I only have two copies of one record. Roxy Music Sirens. Purchased 30 years apart lol.
	2:02pm MelAllen21: @McGroovey: You remind me of my brother. May your records never warp!
	2:05pm McGroovey: Sometimes I buy a second copy when I find a better used copy than the one I have, but it's a sign that I must have too many to keep track of when I buy a second new copy without remembering the first.
	2:07pm efd: @McGroovey That issue of buying records I already owned is part of the reason I've started slowly (very slowly!) entering my collection in Discogs, so I can check before I buy.
	2:07pm Ryansterlingvirtue: I shop now with my discogs app out so I can easily check what I have or not. It's embarrassing.
	2:08pm Jack McGuire: Hospitality's Betty Wang is so wonderful. Killer.
	2:08pm Lawrence K: Kinky Afro vibes on Love Burns track
	2:11pm MelAllen21: "Your Power" by Billie Eilish proves the old adage that every performer has at least one good song in them. Well I've been told. Who knew?
	2:14pm Robm: Hello fellow hookers
	2:15pm Jason from Houston: ME: I don't like Tindersticks but all my friends do. ALSO ME: Cool Tindersticks song.
	2:15pm Robin in SF: Hey Pseu! Such lovely Colin Blunstone tunes. They remind me a bit of Matching Mole and Hatfield and the North. Thanks!
	2:17pm Robm: @james I agree with that
	2:17pm McGroovey: @efd yeah, I've thought of doing that, but then I think of all the other projects I haven't accomplished yet (finishing building a bass, grouting the bathtub, organizing the 20 albums of family photos I ended up with after cleaning out my parents' house a couple years ago, building a cat tree my wife asked me to to build umm ten years ago, finding a job, getting out of house to ride my bike and get some exercise like the doctor said to do,...)
	2:19pm MelAllen21: The original Tindersticks lineup was unbelievable in concert. Great musicians and an original sound.
	2:20pm McGroovey: I loved the first Mercury Rev album, listened to it over and over when it was new, but I never heard anything else by them until the other night at WEH. All their songs sound the same, but it is a good song.
	2:20pm Destroit: Mercury Rev is my favorite band.
	2:20pm Jack McGuire: Boces!
	2:21pm MelAllen21: Your self esteem. Yes!.
	2:22pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): THE REV!!!
	2:23pm Alvy Singer: Buffalo's answer to the Flaming Lips.
	2:23pm Hughie Considine: There is no "i" in yerself is steam (except one)
	2:24pm Destroit: The force of Fridman is real
	2:25pm MelAllen21: Flaming Lips ain't got nothing on Mercury Rev.
	2:25pm Roberto: Hey bee! Get back here with my pollen!
	2:28pm McGroovey: @MelAllen21 Well, except that the Flaming Lips guy sings inside a bubble.
	2:29pm Ryansterlingvirtue: love this
	2:30pm Bimbus Bambus: Nailed that transition
	2:31pm MelAllen21: @McGroovey: Exactly.
	2:32pm Lawrence K: Tindersticks were in at ground zero of riot grrrl. If memory serves they were one of the original signers of Huggy Bear's manifesto.
	2:32pm Royvis: Hey Pseu! Great show!!!
	2:33pm MelAllen21: I'll have a little Sasami with my sushi.
	2:36pm Krys O.: Billie Eillish is cool. So is Taylor Swift. Snobbery be damned.
	2:37pm Editor B: I am literally laughing out loud Pseu!
	2:37pm Bimbus Bambus: it's ok to like good music, peeps
	2:37pm paddy in matawan: Haha I want to dislike but she's a good singer.
	2:38pm morphe': Must run ... Thanks Pseu and all !!!!!
	2:39pm Gerry from Miami: I get a strong Aimee Mann vibe from that sesami record. And that's daarn good thing!
	2:41pm Pseu Braun: HEY ROYVIS and those who are hanging til the end
	2:41pm carv: low-key love it
	2:42pm Krys O.: Been enjoying the show as I work. Giving thanks now, Pseu, as I might get pulled away soon.
	2:45pm Polyus: Hmm well I stepped away and missed that Hand Habits track, but I happened to see them just last night, opening for a jaw-dropping good Perfume Genius show. They also played guitar in his backing band.
	2:51pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Too bad about the music snobbery. Billie Eilish' "When We All Fall Asleep..." record is really good.
	2:52pm MelAllen21: This is the best way to spend a Thursday afternoon. God save Pseu Braun!
	2:54pm efd: yesssss HOT EFFING CHOCOLATE!!!
	2:55pm MelAllen21: I believe in miracles!
	2:55pm garlic lover: I too believe in miracles!
	2:55pm Jack McGuire: Great show Pseu!
	2:55pm Hughie Considine: oh boy, this is it right here
	2:56pm Polyus: Wait did Michael lift this chorus for Blame It On The Boogie?
	2:57pm eastvanhalen: Yes, I am living room dancing to this
	2:57pm MelAllen21: Michael was a heavy lifter.
	2:57pm Todd76Pct: Thanks for the sounds, Pseu!
	2:57pm HyperDose: Thank you, Lady Braun of the Hooks!
	2:57pm Robin in SF: @Pseu, I believe you meant a Grammy, not an Oscar that Billie Eiilish won, unless I missed something this week with the slap and all. Hookers, why don't we like it when an artist is commercially successful? It is like a betrayal. Remaining underground is SO much more attractive. Starving artists are so much better. Once popular they have "sold out." It is a curious thing that we are so hard on those who are well received in popular culture.
	2:58pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyy... Thank you, Pseu.
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: These last two records just jumped out of the speakers at me! I knew exactly who was singing immediately. And I have never heard either song before. Some artists are so distinctive, they just can't help being themselves! Del Shannon, erstwhile Wilbury, RIP.
	2:59pm eastvanhalen: Pseu, thanks!
	2:59pm Robin in SF: Thanks Pseu! Great tunes today.
	2:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank U, Pseu
	3:00pm Alvy Singer: Billie Eilish and her brother won an Oscar for Best Original Song.
	3:00pm efd: fun fact: "Blame It On The Boogie" was co-written by Englishman Michael "Mick" Jackson, his brother David — neither of whom are related to The Jacksons — and a third writer, Elmar Krohn.
	3:00pm Bill in W.O.: Thanks, Pseu!

	12:30pm HyperDose: I was more of a Lizzie McGuire kid
	12:31pm Pseu Braun: McGroovey, Lindsay Lohan IS in old movies.
	12:34pm Jonah: Doing a partial return to my old office starting next Thursdays so I won’t be able to listen live as much as I could during remote work. It’s been so much fun listening!
	12:36pm luka: i'm afraid it is faith hill though pseu
	12:37pm Bimbus Bambus: Thank you, luka. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
	12:39pm Pseu Braun: I'm afraid not, you guys. Shania Twain.
	12:41pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy to you, Pseu! What was that "chisme" you mentioned in reference to the Velour Acadamy record? That is a slang word that Mexican/Spanish speakers use for "gossip" or "dirt." Hadn't heard it used since I left LA 14 years ago.
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: OK, you guys, I'm afraid it's not Shania Twain.
	12:43pm Jack McGuire: It does appear to be Faith Hill, but of course was written by no less than 3 songwriters.
	12:44pm Krys O.: This Kiss is Faith Hill. en.wikipedia.org...
	12:44pm Krys O.: Shania had a song called When You Kiss Me.
	12:45pm Bimbus Bambus: Damon Albarn, is that you?
	12:46pm Krys O.: Funnily enough, Cilla Black covered This Kiss in 2003.
	12:47pm Dennis Diken: thanks for the spin, Pseu
	12:48pm Alvy Singer: Gone are the days when the NY Post used referred to Lindsay Lohan as the top heavy teen queen or Lilo.
	12:48pm McGroovey: It's always an an anticipatory cringe when I hear the phrase begin "... between you and ...", followed by a sigh of relief when the next word isn't "... I". (My dad was an English teacher...)
	12:50pm MelAllen21: Graham Parker & the Rumour: Between You and Me
	12:50pm McGroovey: When the preceding line ends with "eye" or "cry" or "lie", I have to turn off the radio on the "and".
	12:50pm Roberto: McGroovey, don't get me started. Or do. People don't generally use logic when speaking or writing.
	12:53pm Pseu Braun: FINE here's a real Shania Twain song
	12:53pm Krys O.: There are soooooo many grammatical errors in pop music that it is insanity to try to correct them.
	12:53pm McGroovey: @Roberto true enough. But if I had to sing "between you and I" a second time, I'd have to change it.
	12:54pm Roberto: Rastafarians are, of course, exempt.
	12:54pm McGroovey: Of course.
	12:55pm Chop Scott: Hello Pseu! Listening comfortably...
	12:55pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Dang I love this song. Is that Lindley on violin?
	12:56pm Baja Joe: Hello Pseu!
	12:56pm judy from croton: Right on, Pseu
	12:56pm Jack McGuire: Say what you like, this guy wrote "These Days."
	12:59pm Bill in W.O.: Say what you like, this guy wrote "Jet Airliner."
	1:00pm Stevel: Great cover of The Joker. Can't remember any other notable attempts. Great song!
	1:00pm Pseu Braun: Say what you like, this guy wrote This Kiss
	1:02pm Power Papi: Actually, Paul Pena wrote Jet Airliner
	1:02pm McGroovey: Nothing wrong with Jackson Brown--or nothing that was his fault. When he was coming out of every other dorm room stereo (alternating with Billy Joel, Phil Collins, etc) in the eighties, that was irritating. But I don't guess it's Jackson Brown's fault that those irritating Long Island kids loved his records way too much
	1:02pm Jack McGuire: Somebody give me a cheeseburger.
	1:03pm eastvanhalen: That was a most entertaining chat scrollback. Good morning!
	1:04pm morphe': fruit bats the joker that was a nice cover ... thanks Pseu
	1:04pm Andres: "This Kiss" was nominated for two Grammy Awards for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song, losing both to "You're Still the One" by Canadian singer Shania Twain. - from da 'pedia
	1:04pm McGroovey: I don't have a job cheeseburger to give you, but I do have fish and meatballs in the freezer.
	1:04pm Bill in W.O.: @PowerPapi I...did not know that. Was making leetle joke, mostly, but I have learned something today.
	1:07pm Bill in W.O.: Ugh, sort of a paper cut on steroids. Ouch.
	1:07pm MelAllen21: @Jack McGuire: Living in the USA. I hear you.
	1:09pm prof.fuzz: @McG: I'm all ears for a song lacking in cheeseburgers but with other fish and flesh in the freezer. Please continue!
	1:10pm McGroovey: I don't know how "job" snuck into my list comment.
	1:10pm McGroovey: *last
	1:11pm prof.fuzz: @McG: No job cheeseburger, but work fish...
	1:11pm McGroovey: A song about flesh in the freezer.... That's an OK idea...
	1:12pm McGroovey: There are probably already too many songs about getting a job, and almost as many about cheeseburgers, but flesh in the freezer is an untapped vein, as far as I know...
	1:15pm Pseu Braun: THANK U ANDRES SHEESH
	1:17pm EG_Astro: Thank you for the excellent covers today Pseu
	1:18pm Jason from Houston: Ohhhhhhhh shoot... ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	1:18pm MelAllen21: Nice segue Pseu!
	1:19pm dale: hey now. my mother HATED karen caarpenter....that breath she took between every line really pissed her off. she loved bobby vinton though...he didn't breathe a lot.
	1:19pm James in ATL: Enjoying all the hooks. Thank you Pseu. What a voice! Karen forever.
	1:20pm prof.fuzz: We need more songs about random stuff in the fridge and/or freezer. We have one on our next album inspired by a jar of olives... But that's only the tip of the grocery list.
	1:21pm Andres: Noticing more Carpenters on the mothership and streams lately. I am appreciative.
	1:23pm MelAllen21: If I Was A Carpenter
	1:24pm eastvanhalen: Ok, who's going to start talking about the subjunctive...
	1:25pm PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Hi WFMU World!
	1:25pm McGroovey: Dang. I was going to write a song about olives, but now I can't.
	1:26pm Krys O.: @dale: What about Mr. Lonely? That tune is chock full of Bobby Vinton's sobs and heaving.
	1:26pm MelAllen21: @eastvanhalen: Excellent!
	1:26pm McGroovey: I couldn't decide whether the rhyme should be "festive", or "restive". Or maybe "best if", though Stephin Merritt wouldn't approve of the inexact rhyme.
	1:27pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): How about a song about the jar of Castelvetrano olives I bought, not knowing they were not pitted?
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: I wanted to name my daughter "Manzanilla Olive" but my wife and daughter (now 30) vetoed the plan. There are few songs about pickled veggies, McG. Maybe we can do a split single...
	1:28pm prof.fuzz: @Woods of NH: Called "Broken Tooth Blues"
	1:28pm Krys O.: Kalamata would be a nice name.
	1:29pm Jack McGuire: The Revillos have a comp called From the Freezer.
	1:29pm dale: krys o....YESH. i think she gave the polish prince a pass on that one.
	1:29pm Krys O.: Good one, Jack!
	1:30pm McGroovey: .... pickled veggies (something something) wedgies Yeah, that had possibilities.
	1:30pm Jason from Houston: LOL
	1:30pm Jason from Houston: Nice and weird. Top notch.
	1:30pm Krys O.: More Songs About Buildings and Food
	1:31pm McGroovey: has Dam this autocorrect!
	1:31pm Jack McGuire: Thx Krys!
	1:36pm prof.fuzz: stupid autocarrot! FACT: Autocorrect on my phone auto-fills "autoc" as "autocarrot".
	1:39pm Trey: 🎶You make me happy when skies are grey!🎶 And even when they aren’t. Thank you
	1:40pm Gerry from Miami: Call any vegetable, call it by name, and the vegetable will respond to you!! R-U-U-T-A-B-A-A-G-A...........
	1:41pm chris_in_space: Whoa, Mike Lupica back on WFMU? RIGHT ON.
	1:41pm LesleyK: Hey Pseu and everyone!
	1:41pm Jack McGuire: WPRB? Thanks fer sharin'.
	1:42pm MelAllen21: @Gerry from Miami: Hello Frank Zappa!
	1:42pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Death Metal?
	1:45pm Pseu Braun: HEY TREY! Welcome all ...
	1:45pm Bucksomcounty: Hi Pseu! Thanks for all the gooey good banter each week!
	1:46pm Ryansterlingvirtue: this album is fantastic. I recommend everyone pick up the pretty white vinyl tomorrow for BC Friday.
	1:47pm Gerry from Miami: @MelAllen21. I play Frank's music every day. The new 10-disc box set of the 1971 band with Flo and Eddie is pricey, but worth it. And you might get a kick out of a video on YouTube where son Dweezil shows off his very unusual collection of guitars. The spirit of Zappa lives on!
	1:49pm MelAllen21: @Gerry from Miami: He is truly missed. A genius if ever there was one. Take care.
	1:50pm joseloalter: I love your show, Pseu. Thank you!!
	1:56pm McGroovey: Colin Blunstone's voice
	1:56pm MelAllen21: What a voice! The great Colin Blunstone. Thanks Pseu.
	1:58pm McGroovey: I was thinking of buying this Massage record, and then the other day when I was filling my recent purchases in their respective alphabetic locations, I discovered that I already bought it. This is how I end up with two copies of things.
	1:59pm Rich in Washington: This is lovely
	1:59pm Ryansterlingvirtue: @mccgroovey. I like massage too. I might pick that up tomorrow. Thanks for the rec. I only have two copies of one record. Roxy Music Sirens. Purchased 30 years apart lol.
	2:02pm MelAllen21: @McGroovey: You remind me of my brother. May your records never warp!
	2:05pm McGroovey: Sometimes I buy a second copy when I find a better used copy than the one I have, but it's a sign that I must have too many to keep track of when I buy a second new copy without remembering the first.
	2:07pm efd: @McGroovey That issue of buying records I already owned is part of the reason I've started slowly (very slowly!) entering my collection in Discogs, so I can check before I buy.
	2:07pm Ryansterlingvirtue: I shop now with my discogs app out so I can easily check what I have or not. It's embarrassing.
	2:08pm Jack McGuire: Hospitality's Betty Wang is so wonderful. Killer.
	2:08pm Lawrence K: Kinky Afro vibes on Love Burns track
	2:11pm MelAllen21: "Your Power" by Billie Eilish proves the old adage that every performer has at least one good song in them. Well I've been told. Who knew?
	2:14pm Robm: Hello fellow hookers
	2:15pm Jason from Houston: ME: I don't like Tindersticks but all my friends do. ALSO ME: Cool Tindersticks song.
	2:15pm Robin in SF: Hey Pseu! Such lovely Colin Blunstone tunes. They remind me a bit of Matching Mole and Hatfield and the North. Thanks!
	2:17pm Robm: @james I agree with that
	2:17pm McGroovey: @efd yeah, I've thought of doing that, but then I think of all the other projects I haven't accomplished yet (finishing building a bass, grouting the bathtub, organizing the 20 albums of family photos I ended up with after cleaning out my parents' house a couple years ago, building a cat tree my wife asked me to to build umm ten years ago, finding a job, getting out of house to ride my bike and get some exercise like the doctor said to do,...)
	2:19pm MelAllen21: The original Tindersticks lineup was unbelievable in concert. Great musicians and an original sound.
	2:20pm McGroovey: I loved the first Mercury Rev album, listened to it over and over when it was new, but I never heard anything else by them until the other night at WEH. All their songs sound the same, but it is a good song.
	2:20pm Destroit: Mercury Rev is my favorite band.
	2:20pm Jack McGuire: Boces!
	2:21pm MelAllen21: Your self esteem. Yes!.
	2:22pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): THE REV!!!
	2:23pm Alvy Singer: Buffalo's answer to the Flaming Lips.
	2:23pm Hughie Considine: There is no "i" in yerself is steam (except one)
	2:24pm Destroit: The force of Fridman is real
	2:25pm MelAllen21: Flaming Lips ain't got nothing on Mercury Rev.
	2:25pm Roberto: Hey bee! Get back here with my pollen!
	2:28pm McGroovey: @MelAllen21 Well, except that the Flaming Lips guy sings inside a bubble.
	2:29pm Ryansterlingvirtue: love this
	2:30pm Bimbus Bambus: Nailed that transition
	2:31pm MelAllen21: @McGroovey: Exactly.
	2:32pm Lawrence K: Tindersticks were in at ground zero of riot grrrl. If memory serves they were one of the original signers of Huggy Bear's manifesto.
	2:32pm Royvis: Hey Pseu! Great show!!!
	2:33pm MelAllen21: I'll have a little Sasami with my sushi.
	2:36pm Krys O.: Billie Eillish is cool. So is Taylor Swift. Snobbery be damned.
	2:37pm Editor B: I am literally laughing out loud Pseu!
	2:37pm Bimbus Bambus: it's ok to like good music, peeps
	2:37pm paddy in matawan: Haha I want to dislike but she's a good singer.
	2:38pm morphe': Must run ... Thanks Pseu and all !!!!!
	2:39pm Gerry from Miami: I get a strong Aimee Mann vibe from that sesami record. And that's daarn good thing!
	2:41pm Pseu Braun: HEY ROYVIS and those who are hanging til the end
	2:41pm carv: low-key love it
	2:42pm Krys O.: Been enjoying the show as I work. Giving thanks now, Pseu, as I might get pulled away soon.
	2:45pm Polyus: Hmm well I stepped away and missed that Hand Habits track, but I happened to see them just last night, opening for a jaw-dropping good Perfume Genius show. They also played guitar in his backing band.
	2:51pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Too bad about the music snobbery. Billie Eilish' "When We All Fall Asleep..." record is really good.
	2:52pm MelAllen21: This is the best way to spend a Thursday afternoon. God save Pseu Braun!
	2:54pm efd: yesssss HOT EFFING CHOCOLATE!!!
	2:55pm MelAllen21: I believe in miracles!
	2:55pm garlic lover: I too believe in miracles!
	2:55pm Jack McGuire: Great show Pseu!
	2:55pm Hughie Considine: oh boy, this is it right here
	2:56pm Polyus: Wait did Michael lift this chorus for Blame It On The Boogie?
	2:57pm eastvanhalen: Yes, I am living room dancing to this
	2:57pm MelAllen21: Michael was a heavy lifter.
	2:57pm Todd76Pct: Thanks for the sounds, Pseu!
	2:57pm HyperDose: Thank you, Lady Braun of the Hooks!
	2:57pm Robin in SF: @Pseu, I believe you meant a Grammy, not an Oscar that Billie Eiilish won, unless I missed something this week with the slap and all. Hookers, why don't we like it when an artist is commercially successful? It is like a betrayal. Remaining underground is SO much more attractive. Starving artists are so much better. Once popular they have "sold out." It is a curious thing that we are so hard on those who are well received in popular culture.
	2:58pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyy... Thank you, Pseu.
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: These last two records just jumped out of the speakers at me! I knew exactly who was singing immediately. And I have never heard either song before. Some artists are so distinctive, they just can't help being themselves! Del Shannon, erstwhile Wilbury, RIP.
	2:59pm eastvanhalen: Pseu, thanks!
	2:59pm Robin in SF: Thanks Pseu! Great tunes today.
	2:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank U, Pseu
	3:00pm Alvy Singer: Billie Eilish and her brother won an Oscar for Best Original Song.
	3:00pm efd: fun fact: "Blame It On The Boogie" was co-written by Englishman Michael "Mick" Jackson, his brother David — neither of whom are related to The Jacksons — and a third writer, Elmar Krohn.
	3:00pm Bill in W.O.: Thanks, Pseu!
