	5:16pm Cheree July: Was that John Cage or Godzilla roaring?🐲🐉🦖

	5:19pm Kitten Sparkles: Yup. Yay!
	5:29pm lala: hola glitterglambiencians hi kitten fashionably late xox love John Cage 💙🙏🏼
	5:29pm Cheree July: Is this Vincent Price talking?🤔
	5:32pm Mr Fab: Hey yo Kitties n kats! Luuuv "Indeterminacy." I maintain that Laurie Anderson based her career on this album.
	5:33pm Cheree July: Los Angleles?!
	5:34pm Kitten Sparkles: Blasphemy! It is Our Leader, John Cage, Himself!
	5:34pm Kitten Sparkles: Here’s the thing I made that one drop-in from.
	5:41pm lala: I always mention Gertrude Stein and James Joyce at dinner great convo starter.. yes he's our leader makes me wanna get back to work on stuff
	5:42pm lala: hola mt Fab
	5:42pm Cheree July: Weird how John Cage & Vincent Price sounded so alike.
	5:43pm lala: John Cage reconnects neurons n fixes nueroplasticity after covid brain 🧠 fog I forgot now remember
	5:45pm lala: I'm close with DeKoenig so I call him Bill
	♥ 5:46pm ultradamno: People REALLY close to him refer to him as Billy DK
	5:46pm lala: I have Schoenberg's book on theory what a trip egghead hard not to crack
	5:47pm lala: lolol That's hilarious @ultradamno
	♥ 5:47pm ultradamno: I have a new poll: which thing trying to kill Barbara Crampton do you want to fight? twitter.com...
	5:48pm lala: dude that's deep mind mirror dust
	♥ 6:01pm chresti: hi Kitten and children of the Sparkles!
	6:03pm Kitten Sparkles: I forgot how amazing this recording of Variations II is. Until this morning when I listened to it for the first time in a decade or two. It’s just David Tudor playing piano and it kicks more ass than a lot of records that have lots of players and/or intense production.
	6:05pm Kitten Sparkles: John Cage had the cool ideas, but David Tudor made the resulting music engaging and listenable.
	6:07pm Kitten Sparkles: Hi Chresti
	6:09pm Cheree July: This probably shows how much younger I am compared to everyone else in the chat, but I had to Google who Barbara Crampton is.🤔
	♥ 6:10pm chresti: 😸
	♥ 6:13pm ultradamno: Or maybe not a gorehound?
	6:16pm Carmichael: I didn't know who she is, and I'm old ...
	♥ 6:17pm chresti: Is Barbara related to Ralph? oops that would be Kramdon
	♥ 6:17pm ultradamno: So none of you have seen Re-Animator? Chopping Mall? Heathens
	♥ 6:19pm chresti: I was 2 when this came out.
	♥ 6:21pm chresti: *@Williams Mix
	♥ 6:24pm chresti: I am so happy that it's slightly cooler today
	6:25pm Mr Fab: i read - and read about - Cage quite a bit as a youngster, but one of the most amazing things about him was that he didn't own a record player and apparently didn't listen to music. For us vinyl hounds , that's quite a mind-blower.
	6:26pm Kitten Sparkles: I saw ReAnimator. It was pretty cool, despite that it had very little to do with the Lovecraft thing it was ostensibly based on.
	6:27pm Mr Fab: me too, chresti. Probably gonna dance about in the rain tomorrow.
	6:29pm Kitten Sparkles: I loved these Variations IV albums. First Cage records I bought. Indeterminacy I kinda stole from the library.
	♥ 6:29pm ultradamno: It's pretty hot in the day, but cold at night. Like desert weather in the midwest
	6:30pm Kitten Sparkles: You guys know “Rozaer Mix”?
	6:31pm Mr Fab: doesn't ring a bell, but his mixes are the coolest, so lay it on us, brutha.
	6:31pm Kitten Sparkles: It’s kinda the John Cage ‘pop’ hit.
	6:33pm Cheree July: ultradamno, yet, people like me & Kitten in CA are supposed to be dealing with these "rolling blackouts", 🙄but lo & behold, Kitten is still able to do his show.👍
	♥ 6:37pm ultradamno: So does that mean lights go out in a wave across areas? Could be fun to watch from an elevated perspective
	6:39pm Mr Fab: haven't had too many rolling blackouts since I cut back on my cocktail consumption.
	♥ 6:39pm ultradamno: (I've heard the term before, of course, and that's always the image I get in my head)
	♥ 6:40pm ultradamno: Maybe that's what rock music's cousin, roll music (and, of course, hard roll music) is for...
	6:45pm lala: No rolling blackout here for now in SF Bsy Area but it hot cooling but still hot..other day 110 w only portable ac was like an impromptu swear lodge i tripped balls when it cooled down mildy psychedelic effect
	6:48pm lala: David Tudor 🤍🤍🤍 love the simple piano less is more indeed
	6:50pm lala: thia show is amazing as temp drops
	♥ 6:52pm ultradamno: Shit...I need to hook up two more speakers
	♥ 6:55pm chresti: Flex alert means the brakes will be applied to the power in about 10 minutes- lights dim and fans slow down, Knock on wood there hasn't been any outtages yet
	♥ 6:57pm chresti: *and what lala said
	6:58pm ?: Actually I was thinking of a different Cage piece as the “Pop” hit. And now I forget what it was. Had prepared piano and radio and maybe TV on it. Thought it was on Music Before Revolution- maybe it is. I’ll look for it when this jam w Lou Reed and John CAGE (not CALE this time ends.
	♥ 7:00pm chresti: ha ultra @6:40
	7:02pm Kitten Sparkles: Always guessed these two things would either work really well together or Totally cancel each other out.
	♥ 7:03pm ultradamno: I think it's working
	7:04pm lala: mectoo
	7:04pm Mr Fab: a pre-VU Cale actually did play with Cage. Just a one letter difference in their names. i wonder if they called each other "L" and "G."
	7:06pm Dean: Cage's finest? Could be Freeman Etudes.
	♥ 7:07pm ultradamno: When they were of Warlocks or Falling Spikes or something?
	♥ 7:10pm ultradamno: of Warlocks sounds like a 4AD wannabe band...
	7:10pm Mr Fab: i actually meant to see Lou perform "Metal Machine Music" live. hardly an album I've listened to very often, but the idea that some nut (a German guy, I think?) actually notated the entire thing and turned it into a concert piece was just so insane I figured i should go anyway. But I missed it, and Lou died not long after. A shame, but my eardrums are probably thankful
	7:12pm Kitten Sparkles: This is the “Pop” hit.
	7:13pm Dean: That same guy, Mr. Fab, must be the guy who scored Xenakis' Persepolis.
	7:14pm lala: o shiii jk its 104 right now maybe im still trippin or morohing into a heat creature just basically layin round like a kitten
	♥ 7:20pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Sparklers!!! Happy Thursday!!
	7:20pm Dean: Reinhold Friedl and Zeitkratzer
	7:22pm Mr Fab: weird, that voice just mentioned King Charles II. And today we got the news that King Charles III will soon be assuming the throne. Coincidence?!?
	7:23pm Mr Fab: Yep, Dean, looks like it's been bandcamp-isized: zeitkratzer.bandcamp.com...
	7:25pm Dean: Thanks, Mr. Fab! Gonna have to queue it for lullaby time. I love the Xenakis record. Also a great "real" performance of the piece on Asphodel with an accompanying disc of remixes.
	♥ 7:36pm ultradamno: If he declares himself King Charli XCX he might get inadvertent online traffic
	♥ 7:39pm ultradamno: Li'l Markee Cartman
	♥ 7:49pm ultradamno: ...err, Markie. I always want to give him the two e's for some reason
	7:52pm Dean: "I have a banana on my shoulder about not being psychoanalyzed."
	7:54pm lala: mushrooms n other medicinal planrs just decriminalized in San Francisco
	♥ 7:58pm DJ Babs: Thank you for a great show K-Spark! Super enjoyed the Cage vibes...
	7:59pm lala: ty guys for good vibes rhx kitten for this glambient epic john csge happening 💛💛💛
	8:00pm Mr Fab: Fantastic! I realize i have been too Cage-free in my life lately.
	8:01pm lala: were in the hundreds w jc
	8:01pm lala: yess mw too mr fab!!
	8:05pm Kitten Sparkles: Sorry I was kinda busy with managing the Glambience for the last hour or sno. Thanks for Glistening, bros and broettes!
	8:07pm Kitten Sparkles: Cage Free! Ha! Mr Fab is obviously a GENIUS! Wish I woulda thought of (or stolen) that line for this show!
	♥ 8:09pm WR: Hi. Archive listening because when this was streamed live I was in a car and the driver was WTF anything but this. Such horrible sound. I'll save my obscure John Cage none anecdote for 111. Cheers and thank you!
