	12:14pm eileen_tooth: 😯
	12:14pm Kat in Chicago: These are great choices Pseu!
	12:14pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ dale @12:12 It's more apparent in the actual film soundtrack as opposed to the commercial recording, which is a different take.

	12:18pm eileen_tooth: I love the Blob song SO much
	12:19pm Frank Verplanck: The NYT obit said "his effervescent compositions defined sophisticated hedonism " and "evoked a sleek era of airy romance ", which sounds right.
	12:19pm Choggie: Is this Issac Hayes??
	12:19pm My New Heart Loves WFMU: Long before Queen layered the vocals there was the Carpenters.
	12:20pm dale: pseu, you've played the photos before. they close their album with 'i just don't know what to do with myself.'

	12:34pm BerkeleyGuy: ↳ tadpoles @12:32 Forever Changes is masterpiece

	12:36pm TerrDE: BG, have you heard the live Paris concert of Forever ?
	12:36pm McGroovey: ↳ tadpoles @12:32 I would say that's not an accident! Bacharach/David songs filled the cultural air then.
	12:37pm unpopularfred: ↳ tadpoles @12:32 Love did "my little red book" on their first album
	12:37pm TerrDE: and better
	12:37pm BerkeleyGuy: ↳ TerrDE @12:36 no. I'm a sucker for live recordings. Gonna have to find it. Thanks
	12:37pm Tamar: Such tasty tribute choices!
	12:37pm V Priceless: Thanks for the tunes, Pseu. Loved Burt. RIP, maestro.....(sigh)...
	12:38pm BerkeleyGuy: ↳ TerrDE @12:37 Agree
	12:38pm Bread and Jam for Frances: my little red book is much sexier as a rock cover. sometimes that’s just the way it is
	12:38pm TerrDE: it doesn't add anything ,but its excellent
	12:39pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "such unlikely lovers" by "elvis costello, burt ba... I really liked this Elvis/Burt record. I have the songbook!
	12:40pm owlex: Jim o’rouke has a great cover of “something big” on eureka
	12:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'HOOK.
	12:41pm Rich in Washington: Dang. I don't have any of the Costello/Bacharach albums. I need to rectify that.
	12:43pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "god give me strength" by "kristen vigard" This song is impeccable.
	12:43pm coco: great tribute Pseu...
	12:43pm ChrisB.: I’m just loving every single one of these selections!
	12:43pm San Pedro Girl: @ BerkelyGuy Wait, "Forever Changes" is NOT required listening?? Well, in my school it is. :)
	12:43pm xindeed: Tiny Tim's "What the World Needs Now"....?
	12:43pm -жеи: Damn, Burt hooked up with Marlene Dietrich! What a historic figure..
	12:44pm Mark from Bloomfield: Incredible job, once again, Pseu! What an assemblage, on very short notice .
	12:44pm Erella: Thank you so much, this is wonderful.
	12:44pm Andres: ↳ Song: "god give me strength" by "kristen vigard" So incredibly beautiful.
	12:45pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ -жеи @12:43 I'm not sure that is an exclusive group.
	12:45pm N'Lo: God, I forgot about this song, and film! And this performance(s)! I’m just tearing up over here.
	12:45pm PJ: This version of God Give Me Strength (from the movie, I guess) is, for me, more beautiful than Costello's. After he took vocal lessons, Elvis tended to oversing a lot of things.
	12:45pm morphe': Just realized the gist of things here ....
	12:46pm HyperDose: ↳ -жеи @12:43 "You could say the music wasn’t my kind of music. It actually sucked! But I liked her." 😂
	12:46pm dans507: Thanks for this set, Pseu!
	12:47pm TerrDE: great set !
	12:47pm eileen_tooth: My wrists are crackily I think I’m falling apart
	12:48pm Webhamster Henry: Trouble was on the Gaylord-batphone immediately and so ... check out next week's show.
	12:48pm morphe': A lifetime of magic moments: Burt Bacharach in pictures https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2023/feb/09/a-lifetime-of-magic-moments-burt-bacharach-in-pictures obit: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/feb/09/burt-bacharach-
	12:48pm ChrisB.: Name me another radio station that will have multiple BB tributes? I’ll wait over here.
	12:49pm sufferwords: Worked all day with Bacharach on a Geiko commercial- one cool motherfucker - funny and deathly hip
	12:49pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Pseu! Several WFMU friends have offered their radio space to me, and I may take one of them up on it. And not for nothing, but your opening set was both joyful and elegiac.
	12:49pm herb.nyc: wait, elvis c has a buncha shows at gramercy theater. starting tonight.
	12:49pm Krys O.: The Manfred Mann version was in the Pussycat film. Great footage of Peter O'Toole dancing to it.
	12:49pm Alessandro_Italy: RIP Burt ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqBBO5qxo6s
	12:49pm dans507: I did see that movie. Many said the main character was based on Carole King.
	12:51pm Krys O.: ↳ dans507 @12:49 Allison Anders did dramatize certain themes from Carole King's life, but it is still fictional.
	12:52pm RevWaldo: Learning just now that Naked Eyes song (Always) Something There To Remind Me was by Burt Bacharach. !!!
	12:53pm listener 126464: Great set, thank you Pseu.
	12:54pm eileen_tooth: Hi pseu 🥰
	12:54pm pp: mensch indeed. "who are these people?" 🤣
	12:54pm eileen_tooth: I need physical media cuz iTunes is always doing away with music I like
	12:55pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Krys O. @12:51 Speaking of: Carol and Burt are both on my Mount Rushmore when it comes to American popular music composers of the 20th century.
	12:55pm Krys O.: ↳ RevWaldo @12:52 Naked Eyes covered it because it was a huge hit by Sandie Shaw in the UK.
	12:56pm Krys O.: ↳ Gaylord Fields @12:55 It's Carole King's 81st birthday today.
	12:56pm frenchee: GAYLORD weighs in--and GF, you are on MY Mount Rushmore
	12:57pm Elena: Thank you for this set. My favorite is "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head." It was the first English-language song I learned, in middle school in Moscow. Just found a Manic Street Preachers cover of it www.youtube.com...
	12:57pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Krys O. @12:56 Full circle, my friend.
	12:57pm HyperDose: THE Fred and Alan? 😍
	12:57pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ frenchee @12:56 <3
	12:57pm Krys O.: I'm also a fan of Carol Bayer Sager, Burt's 3rd wife. She was a songwriter too and her autobiography They're Playing Our Song.
	12:57pm Magenta: Fred and Alan!!!!
	12:57pm Joe B: greetings Pseu and everyone
	12:58pm PaulRobeson1923: Stopppp
	12:58pm PaulRobeson1923: <3
	12:58pm Magenta: Pseu, maybe Fred and Alan can talk about their favorite Burt Bacharach songs?
	12:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Joe B @12:57 Hey Joe!
	12:58pm Roberto: ↳ Krys O. @12:56 Yeah I guess Carole won't be getting a lot of birthday tributes this year :/
	12:58pm Alan in Marblehead: Disdain - love you, Pseu
	12:58pm Webhamster Henry: Gaylord did a Premium more recently of Bacharach sound-alikes more recently !"Burt Bacharach Spays his Kits"
	12:59pm TerrDE: what's considered Central NJ ?
	12:59pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Magenta @12:58 @ Magenta Great idea!
	12:59pm Krys O.: ↳ Roberto @12:58 Nah, she is a G.O.A.T.
	1:00pm Roberto: ↳ Krys O. @12:59 Yeah just saying her birthday tributes might be a little eclipsed today.
	1:00pm Cairo: SUPERCHARGED recording, TOTALLY uncalled for!
	1:00pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ ChrisB. @12:48 WPKN will probably, since Alec Cumming is the music director and did the liner notes for the 3-CD Bacharach compilation.
	1:01pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "what's new pussycat" by "casino royale" No matter the version, I can't help but sing along!
	1:01pm dave wuz here: doc i can't stop singing what's up pussycat. you have tom jones syndrome is that rare? its not unusual.
	1:01pm McGroovey: ↳ Elena @12:57 B.J. Thomas's was the one that was the huge hit on the USA. Great song. youtu.be...
	1:01pm Bread and Jam for Frances: ↳ Cairo @1:00 lol I want to shower after this 😷
	1:01pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "what's new pussycat" by "casino royale" Of note: the Wendy Carlos version.
	1:02pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Mike Sin @1:01 My husband wants to know if you played Big Big Big's version of DYKTWTSJ? and if not, why not.
	1:03pm unpopularfred: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:01 I'll second that
	1:03pm rw: I didn't know Bacharach wrote What's New Pussycat. I have so much to learn...
	1:03pm Elena: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:58 Cool! I hope all these premiums are stored in WFMU's music library. This one is not even available on Discogs :(
	1:04pm alan the painter: oh my gosh when that came oUt everybodies cheeks would flush when hEaring... thank U Tom Jones
	1:05pm frenchee: I'm picturing a virtual stampede on the WFMU store for Gaylord's 2000 premium.
	1:05pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Elena @1:03 WFMU Premia are super non-commercial!
	1:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "it's alright now" by "nora o'connor" This kind of reminds me of "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?"
	1:06pm Krys O.: ↳ rw @1:03 What didn't he write?! His canon was massive.
	1:06pm Rick A: Hi Pseu and All, What can you say? Thank you, Burt, to say that the guy was a giant in postwar American music is an understatement. Maybe somebody mentioned already, on the unlikely Bacharach cover spectrum: Frankie Goes to Hollywood's version of "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" I listened to far too much of that FGTH record when I was nineteen.
	1:07pm Bread and Jam for Frances: ↳ alan the painter @1:04 not everybody, lots of us got a little queasy
	1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:06 Whoops, not this one. The following song. "I'm Waiting for a Bus"
	1:11pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" Yessss!
	1:12pm Cairo: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" Classic sound!
	1:12pm Elena: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:05 Of course they are!
	1:13pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" A honey river sounds deliciously sticky
	1:13pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" Happy 81st! Still looks 40. Maybe.
	1:14pm eileen_tooth: 🥰
	1:15pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @1:13 She and Bernadette Peters must go to the same dermatologist.
	1:16pm frenchee: ↳ Roberto @1:15 LOL, "dermatologist"
	1:17pm Roberto: ↳ frenchee @1:16 Of course, dermatologist! What else could I be implying? :P
	1:24pm N'Lo: Hey I just passed Bernadette Peters on the street and she looked perfectly great / normal with a naked face!
	1:24pm taryninstereo: Been listening in since the beginning today. Fab show.
	1:24pm Roberto: ↳ N'Lo @1:24 Yeah I know where she lives. Not as creepy as it sounds.
	1:26pm Kamp Climax: Would love to hear John Mulaney's What's New Pussycat bit right about now?
	1:26pm Alan in Marblehead: Did we not hear Arthur's Theme? Sorry - guilty pleasure. That chorus gets me.
	1:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "i don't wanna cry" by "the keys" this sounds something like veronica by elvis costello
	1:28pm Roberto: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:26 The one by Ziggy Marley?
	1:30pm Magenta: ↳ Kamp Climax @1:26 There needs to be one "It's Not Unusual" in the middle to break it up.
	1:31pm PaulRobeson1923: Ambush Blatt
	1:33pm alan the painter: pretty inspiring PSeu...
	1:35pm BerkeleyGuy: We love your long stories. Pseu
	1:36pm paddy in matawan: So sorry Pseu. I used to shop at The Dirty Shop Rite too. Wonder if it's the same one.
	1:37pm Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Roberto @1:28 Hey! What a wonderful kind of day! I was thinking more about if you get caught between the moon and new york city...
	1:37pm Jack McGuire: My grocery-based anxiety skyrocketed upon realizing that the Tom's River Shop Rite® that I was in was CARPETED. Unsettling.
	1:38pm taryninstereo: Gaylord could come back now to do a tribute show…
	1:39pm Gaylord Fields: Correct, Pseu, that CD is not mine. But I did do a Burt premium back in the WFMU cassette age called "Bacharach in Black" — all soul versions of his songs.
	1:40pm Roberto: You know, one can also be bitter and not alone.
	1:41pm Roberto: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:37 Yep I know I was just bein a wizeazz
	1:41pm Roberto: The Terre T VD shows are the absolute best.
	1:43pm Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Roberto @1:41 :)
	1:43pm Krys O.: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:37 Carpeting in a supermarket? Yikes! How are they going to handle a clean up in aisle 9?
	1:44pm Magenta: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:37 Now that should just be illegal.
	1:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:26 Co-written with Peter Allen, Chris Cross, and Carole Bayer Sager.
	1:45pm efd: Diane's on at 9am Wednesdays on the Rock 'n' Soul stream! One hour only! (for now)
	1:46pm efd: I think she started yesterday!
	1:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:43 the jar of tomato sauce just bounces off of the (shag) carpeting
	1:46pm Ben: ↳ efd @1:45 This is great news!
	1:46pm emilie s: Kamikaze!!!! I have been missing her mic breaks these years.
	1:46pm McGroovey: wfmu.org...
	1:47pm Mike Sin: Re: Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine It debuted on the RnS stream yesterday! See here: wfmu.org...
	1:47pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @1:46 ↑↑↑↑↑↑
	1:47pm Krys O.: I always file before the end of January.
	1:49pm RevWaldo: FreeTaxUSA FTW (not really free but definitely cheaper)
	1:49pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "midnight train to nowhere" by "robyn hitchcock" "nowhere is my jam" - nice
	1:50pm Pseu Braun: ↳ Mike Sin @1:47 HOLY COWS! Thanks @Mike Sin
	1:50pm Phillippe: IRS hint: filing for an extension and then filing your taxes at the last possible date (October 15th normally) will also greatly reduce the likelihood of an audit, as the IRS is already gearing up for the next year's January onslaught
	1:53pm Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Krys O. @1:44 yeah - Won him another Oscar (btw love your show)
	1:55pm Krys O.: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:53 Oh, thank you kindly. That's very nice of you.
	1:57pm winston legthigh: hello pseu and the hooked.
	2:01pm Zinn The Mood: Cool tune, with lots of hallmark power pop. “ 1. Radio Days is a powerpop band from Milan, Italy 2. Radio Days is a Dutch Indie Pop band. They released an EP called B.O.O.M.B.O.X on the 29th of November, 2014.” Well…which is it Pseu? Great show!
	2:03pm HyperDose: Our favorite menschen!
	2:04pm paddy in matawan: hamwood
	2:04pm robyn: wfmu deli cspan
	2:05pm Krys O.: There's a new business in my neighborhood that has 'deli' in the name, but they DON'T SELL COLD CUTS! Incroyable!
	2:06pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Krys O. @1:43 Yeah, nuttytown!
	2:06pm Ciggy: Burt Bacharach - Obituary www.nytimes.com...
	2:06pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Magenta @1:44 You know it. It's an outrage.
	2:08pm dale: now i'd like a half pound of olive loaf.
	2:08pm paddy in matawan: But do they have Lebanon Bologna?
	2:10pm HyperDose: Deli fatigue is a real thing
	2:12pm Krys O.: Popeye's!
	2:12pm paddy in matawan: I still haven't been to Wendy's in my grown up life. I want to try those newish fries.
	2:13pm paddy in matawan: But Chik-Fil-A nuggets are the best chicken item in the fast food world.
	2:15pm Magenta: Chocopies are delicious! I saw some at the bodega near me but didn't buy. Moon Pies are great too but I almost never see them.
	2:16pm Krys O.: ↳ Magenta @2:15 You can make Moon Pies at home: www.allrecipes.com...
	2:17pm Pseu Braun: STRING CHEESE WIT PREGGO SAWCE
	2:18pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Elena @12:57 Thanks for this link, looking forward to hearing it. Loved the Manics “This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours.” Pretty radical band, unafraid of speaking truth to power. Dug your story about it helping you learn in English. Have heard that from many friends from overseas. Song always makes me think of my Mom. Who loved singing it as we drove around in the car as kids.
	2:18pm bradford: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:17 now that's livin'
	2:18pm Listener Robert: Don and I have been living off food bank food for months, and frequently it is expired, yet surprisingly fresh. Years ago eggs used to start floating (gas buildup) well before expiration. Now they're well past expiration yet still good.
	2:18pm Krys O.: Target's Good and Gather line is decent and affordable. I like their marinarararara.
	2:18pm Jack McGuire: I wanna hear Fred say"Eating chicken vindaloo". I'm convinced Joey Ramone is driving a deli slicer in Greater New York.
	2:19pm HyperDose: And I thought I bachelored hard. Teach me your ways, Alan!
	2:19pm dale: and the prego jars are good to reuse for canning.
	2:19pm Lerch: This is a wonderful conversation
	2:19pm Magenta: ↳ Krys O. @2:16 Ooooh I'm not much of a baker but I should try that!
	2:20pm Magenta: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:17 It can only be Polly-O string cheese!
	2:20pm HyperDose: Get 'em in quality control. Nothing gets by these two!
	2:20pm Listener Robert: If you like venison, it's hard to find it on sale -- the economics of non-farmed food like that make it a losing proposition to sell -- but hunters give it away like crazy to butchers who donate it to food pantries, where they keep it frozen.
	2:21pm bradford: holy smokes!
	2:21pm paddy in matawan: ↳ Listener Robert @2:20 I'd like to find venison.
	2:22pm Lerch: Venison's good eating. Watch out for prions, though
	2:22pm Krys O.: I like my tuna salad with olive oil and ACV (apple cider vinegar) instead of mayo.
	2:22pm ?: It’s disturbing that any person would eat like this
	2:23pm Listener Robert: ↳ paddy in matawan @2:21 Look for a food bank/charity near you. Most of them give it away, no questions asked, to those who register to receive it.
	2:23pm Magenta: Fred and Alan should host a cooking show and write a cookbook. I would definitely watch and buy.
	2:23pm paddy in matawan: ↳ Listener Robert @2:23 Interesting. I would feel somewhat guilty about that though. I don't need the help.
	2:24pm Pseu Braun: ↳ HyperDose @2:20 This place could use some quality control!
	2:24pm steveo: ↳ paddy in matawan @2:23 i'm sure they also accept cash donations, so you could help feed people who don't want venison
	2:25pm paddy in matawan: ↳ steveo @2:24 Good idea SteveO
	2:25pm Krys O.: No food shaming, please. Everyone is trying to survive in this world. No condescension.
	2:26pm dale: they don't age so maybe they use the mayonnaise as a moisturizer too.
	2:26pm Listener Robert: ↳ paddy in matawan @2:23 Don't feel that way. This country is full of food looking to be given away. Certain things, like milk, somewhat short, but others they're happy to have someone to take away. Some of these groups are even affiliated with gardeners who have produce to give away, but mostly it's canned and boxed items. Some baked goods, though.
	2:26pm paddy in matawan: mayOIsturizer
	2:27pm Krys O.: Thanks, Fred, Alan, and Pseu!
	2:27pm Roberto: You gotta make it fast, Jimmy.
	2:28pm Krys O.: I have Peacock on my Xbox. Need to check that out.
	2:28pm Pseu Braun: jimmy who?
	2:28pm Magenta: ↳ Krys O. @2:25 I didn't intend to food shame! A lot of what they talked about sounded delicious to me.
	2:28pm wind: What KrysO said:)
	2:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Magenta @2:28 It wasn't you, Magenta. Nope. It was some anonymous trolls.
	2:29pm Lerch: Anyone ever watch that Possum Living documentary?
	2:30pm Susan: Good times with Allan thanks Sue
	2:30pm Jack McGuire: That was great!
	2:30pm dale: missus dale could write in and tell some stories about selling caviar and smoked fish. her boss was in toronto once on a work trip and caled her at 4 am and said he couldn't find his pants. all kinds of wacky customer stories too, high end chefs, doing product demos at dibruno brothers in philly, training wait staff etc.
	2:31pm Roberto: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:28 Dave the Spazz sound bite reference.
	2:32pm Listener Robert: The best free food pickings, however, is what I've been doing close to 30 years: mulberries off trees in their season. People plant mulberries, then find them a nuisance as they shed and stain. They're not the best tasting berries, but they're pretty good. Black caps similarly, slightly later, on creeper vines, but thorny. Often you can find patches of wild raspberries by the road too. Those taste great. About a month later than mulberries. And it gets you out in the fresh air and exercising. And getting ticks.
	2:33pm HyperDose: Another amazing installment. Thank you for bringing these titans of industry and injury into our lives, Pseu!
	2:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Listener Robert @2:32 Yes! We used to pick mulberries off trees as kids. Mom and Dad found wild blueberries in a local park and they dried them out for blueberry tea. Yum. Oh, and one time Dad spotted sorrel. We had Polish sorrel soup (schav). YUMMY!
	2:35pm paddy in matawan: xoxoxo pseu, fred, alan!
	2:35pm winston legthigh: gobba gobba hey!
	2:40pm emilie s: ↳ Listener Robert @2:32 My partner and I can just barely get to the mulberries before the birds. I'm having an argument with our town's recreation director because he wants to get rid of a mulberry tree next to a ball field and assumes everyone is as annoyed by the berry stains and bird crap as he is, and I have to be lone voice saying that I go out of my way on evening walks to get the damn berries!
	2:41pm Listener Robert: ↳ Krys O. @2:35 Lucky you with blueberries. Only place I found any wild was when I was biking in Tibbet's Brook Park in Westchester County, and it was just a couple on one tree.
	2:41pm Krys O.: ↳ Listener Robert @2:41 This was in the 60s and 70s.
	2:42pm winston legthigh: i hear the breeders.
	2:43pm captain beef fart: ↳ winston legthigh @2:42 me too
	2:44pm Lerch: I'm always falling asleep when "better make it fast Jimmy" comes on. But then I'm awake and chuckling
	2:45pm Roberto: ↳ Lerch @2:44 It immediately comes to mind for me whenever someone needs to make something fast.
	2:47pm winston legthigh: nice blast from the past pseu!
	2:47pm Pseu Braun: ↳ Roberto @2:45 what is it from? never heard it
	2:49pm Roberto: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:47 Some radio clip that D the Spazz always plays near the end of his show.
	2:50pm Pseu Braun: i listen to spazz every week don't recall it!
	2:50pm Dennis Diken: hi Pseu and gang - couldn't hang out and chat today but totally dug the show. long live Burt Bacharach!
	2:50pm Roberto: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:50 I guess you never make it to the end lol
	2:52pm listener 126464: Thank you, Pseu, good day everyone!
	2:52pm Jason from Houston: NIIIIIIIICE
	2:53pm winston legthigh: now we're cooking! thanks pseu, laters.
	2:53pm HyperDose: According to David there's a "big show tonight" ...whatever that means 🎸🎹🐒 Hey Dennis! Hope you're enjoying the hiatus. Miss the Den. But I guess that frees up some time for you and Gaylord to hop on a cruise this summer!
	2:53pm radioronan: Thanks Pseu..Great to hear Fred & Alan check in! Cheers y'all!
	2:53pm common: pseu! all
	2:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu!
	2:54pm Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Pseu. Check y'all soon.
	2:54pm steveo: Did not realize Burt wrote Rock Lobster. Thanks for the great show & tribute (yes that's a joke)
	2:54pm Glennz_Cat: Sorry, I'm a little late to the party. Question about the chicken parm recipe...do you pull the Polly-O string cheese apart or slice it?
	2:54pm Jack McGuire: Thankee, Pseu!
	2:55pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "rock lobster (single version)" by "the b-52s" I keep hearing P!atD when I hear that riff. Killer tune
	2:55pm RevWaldo: ↳ Song: "rock lobster (single version)" by "the b-52s" Lying on the floor now, to the dismay of my co-workers.
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: ↳ HyperDose @2:53 thanks, it means a lot HyperDose - I am actually playing a cruise in March! The Den shall reopen down the line!
	2:55pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you Pseu! Best wishes to all.
	2:56pm Jack McGuire: Pass the tanning mayo.
	2:57pm HyperDose: Of course Dennis plays cruise ships. Too cool! Thanks Pseu :)
	2:57pm paddy in matawan: i'll grab the surfboard mayo too!
	2:58pm Gaylord Fields: Pseuttso Muni!
	2:58pm RevWaldo: Thanks Pseu!
	2:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Is that the voice of the Old Codger's wife?
	2:58pm timinoak: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:58 hahaha
	2:59pm Andres: Great tribute, tunes and conversation. Thanks, Pseu!
	2:59pm Roberto: I dare Pseu to talk like this for the duration of her next show.
	2:59pm RevWaldo: ↳ timinoak @2:58 Natasha Lyonne?
	3:00pm Jeff Moore: Little bit o' Natasha Lyonne in there... ...or Bart Curlish the Holistic Assassin.
	3:01pm bradford: Thanks Pseu, Fred & Alan!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: ↳ HyperDose @2:57 the best one was the Malt Shop Cruise, the late great Geator was the host!
	3:05pm mdaronco: Psue's got quite a voice. :)
	3:06pm paddy in matawan: NICE SiNGING!!!!
	7:45pm popsicornia in vancouveronia: @Gaylord Fields You are so missed Gaylord!!

	12:14pm Kat in Chicago: These are great choices Pseu!

	12:41pm Rich in Washington: Dang. I don't have any of the Costello/Bacharach albums. I need to rectify that.

	12:43pm coco: great tribute Pseu...
	12:43pm ChrisB.: I’m just loving every single one of these selections!
	12:43pm San Pedro Girl: @ BerkelyGuy Wait, "Forever Changes" is NOT required listening?? Well, in my school it is. :)

	12:49pm sufferwords: Worked all day with Bacharach on a Geiko commercial- one cool motherfucker - funny and deathly hip
	12:49pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Pseu! Several WFMU friends have offered their radio space to me, and I may take one of them up on it. And not for nothing, but your opening set was both joyful and elegiac.
	12:49pm herb.nyc: wait, elvis c has a buncha shows at gramercy theater. starting tonight.

	12:56pm frenchee: GAYLORD weighs in--and GF, you are on MY Mount Rushmore
	12:57pm Elena: Thank you for this set. My favorite is "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head." It was the first English-language song I learned, in middle school in Moscow. Just found a Manic Street Preachers cover of it www.youtube.com...

	12:59pm Krys O.: ↳ Roberto @12:58 Nah, she is a G.O.A.T.
	1:00pm Roberto: ↳ Krys O. @12:59 Yeah just saying her birthday tributes might be a little eclipsed today.
	1:00pm Cairo: SUPERCHARGED recording, TOTALLY uncalled for!
	1:00pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ ChrisB. @12:48 WPKN will probably, since Alec Cumming is the music director and did the liner notes for the 3-CD Bacharach compilation.
	1:01pm Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "what's new pussycat" by "casino royale" No matter the version, I can't help but sing along!
	1:01pm dave wuz here: doc i can't stop singing what's up pussycat. you have tom jones syndrome is that rare? its not unusual.
	1:01pm McGroovey: ↳ Elena @12:57 B.J. Thomas's was the one that was the huge hit on the USA. Great song. youtu.be...
	1:01pm Bread and Jam for Frances: ↳ Cairo @1:00 lol I want to shower after this 😷
	1:01pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "what's new pussycat" by "casino royale" Of note: the Wendy Carlos version.
	1:02pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Mike Sin @1:01 My husband wants to know if you played Big Big Big's version of DYKTWTSJ? and if not, why not.
	1:03pm unpopularfred: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:01 I'll second that
	1:03pm rw: I didn't know Bacharach wrote What's New Pussycat. I have so much to learn...
	1:03pm Elena: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:58 Cool! I hope all these premiums are stored in WFMU's music library. This one is not even available on Discogs :(
	1:04pm alan the painter: oh my gosh when that came oUt everybodies cheeks would flush when hEaring... thank U Tom Jones
	1:05pm frenchee: I'm picturing a virtual stampede on the WFMU store for Gaylord's 2000 premium.
	1:05pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Elena @1:03 WFMU Premia are super non-commercial!
	1:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "it's alright now" by "nora o'connor" This kind of reminds me of "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?"
	1:06pm Krys O.: ↳ rw @1:03 What didn't he write?! His canon was massive.
	1:06pm Rick A: Hi Pseu and All, What can you say? Thank you, Burt, to say that the guy was a giant in postwar American music is an understatement. Maybe somebody mentioned already, on the unlikely Bacharach cover spectrum: Frankie Goes to Hollywood's version of "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" I listened to far too much of that FGTH record when I was nineteen.
	1:07pm Bread and Jam for Frances: ↳ alan the painter @1:04 not everybody, lots of us got a little queasy
	1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:06 Whoops, not this one. The following song. "I'm Waiting for a Bus"
	1:11pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" Yessss!
	1:12pm Cairo: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" Classic sound!
	1:12pm Elena: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:05 Of course they are!
	1:13pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" A honey river sounds deliciously sticky
	1:13pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "way over yonder" by "carole king" Happy 81st! Still looks 40. Maybe.
	1:14pm eileen_tooth: 🥰
	1:15pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @1:13 She and Bernadette Peters must go to the same dermatologist.
	1:16pm frenchee: ↳ Roberto @1:15 LOL, "dermatologist"
	1:17pm Roberto: ↳ frenchee @1:16 Of course, dermatologist! What else could I be implying? :P
	1:24pm N'Lo: Hey I just passed Bernadette Peters on the street and she looked perfectly great / normal with a naked face!
	1:24pm taryninstereo: Been listening in since the beginning today. Fab show.
	1:24pm Roberto: ↳ N'Lo @1:24 Yeah I know where she lives. Not as creepy as it sounds.
	1:26pm Kamp Climax: Would love to hear John Mulaney's What's New Pussycat bit right about now?
	1:26pm Alan in Marblehead: Did we not hear Arthur's Theme? Sorry - guilty pleasure. That chorus gets me.
	1:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "i don't wanna cry" by "the keys" this sounds something like veronica by elvis costello
	1:28pm Roberto: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:26 The one by Ziggy Marley?
	1:30pm Magenta: ↳ Kamp Climax @1:26 There needs to be one "It's Not Unusual" in the middle to break it up.
	1:31pm PaulRobeson1923: Ambush Blatt
	1:33pm alan the painter: pretty inspiring PSeu...
	1:35pm BerkeleyGuy: We love your long stories. Pseu
	1:36pm paddy in matawan: So sorry Pseu. I used to shop at The Dirty Shop Rite too. Wonder if it's the same one.
	1:37pm Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Roberto @1:28 Hey! What a wonderful kind of day! I was thinking more about if you get caught between the moon and new york city...
	1:37pm Jack McGuire: My grocery-based anxiety skyrocketed upon realizing that the Tom's River Shop Rite® that I was in was CARPETED. Unsettling.
	1:38pm taryninstereo: Gaylord could come back now to do a tribute show…
	1:39pm Gaylord Fields: Correct, Pseu, that CD is not mine. But I did do a Burt premium back in the WFMU cassette age called "Bacharach in Black" — all soul versions of his songs.
	1:40pm Roberto: You know, one can also be bitter and not alone.
	1:41pm Roberto: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:37 Yep I know I was just bein a wizeazz
	1:41pm Roberto: The Terre T VD shows are the absolute best.
	1:43pm Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Roberto @1:41 :)
	1:43pm Krys O.: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:37 Carpeting in a supermarket? Yikes! How are they going to handle a clean up in aisle 9?
	1:44pm Magenta: ↳ Jack McGuire @1:37 Now that should just be illegal.
	1:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:26 Co-written with Peter Allen, Chris Cross, and Carole Bayer Sager.
	1:45pm efd: Diane's on at 9am Wednesdays on the Rock 'n' Soul stream! One hour only! (for now)
	1:46pm efd: I think she started yesterday!
	1:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @1:43 the jar of tomato sauce just bounces off of the (shag) carpeting
	1:46pm Ben: ↳ efd @1:45 This is great news!
	1:46pm emilie s: Kamikaze!!!! I have been missing her mic breaks these years.
	1:46pm McGroovey: wfmu.org...
	1:47pm Mike Sin: Re: Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine It debuted on the RnS stream yesterday! See here: wfmu.org...
	1:47pm McGroovey: ↳ efd @1:46 ↑↑↑↑↑↑
	1:47pm Krys O.: I always file before the end of January.
	1:49pm RevWaldo: FreeTaxUSA FTW (not really free but definitely cheaper)
	1:49pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "midnight train to nowhere" by "robyn hitchcock" "nowhere is my jam" - nice
	1:50pm Pseu Braun: ↳ Mike Sin @1:47 HOLY COWS! Thanks @Mike Sin
	1:50pm Phillippe: IRS hint: filing for an extension and then filing your taxes at the last possible date (October 15th normally) will also greatly reduce the likelihood of an audit, as the IRS is already gearing up for the next year's January onslaught
	1:53pm Alan in Marblehead: ↳ Krys O. @1:44 yeah - Won him another Oscar (btw love your show)
	1:55pm Krys O.: ↳ Alan in Marblehead @1:53 Oh, thank you kindly. That's very nice of you.
	1:57pm winston legthigh: hello pseu and the hooked.
	2:01pm Zinn The Mood: Cool tune, with lots of hallmark power pop. “ 1. Radio Days is a powerpop band from Milan, Italy 2. Radio Days is a Dutch Indie Pop band. They released an EP called B.O.O.M.B.O.X on the 29th of November, 2014.” Well…which is it Pseu? Great show!
	2:03pm HyperDose: Our favorite menschen!
	2:04pm paddy in matawan: hamwood
	2:04pm robyn: wfmu deli cspan
	2:05pm Krys O.: There's a new business in my neighborhood that has 'deli' in the name, but they DON'T SELL COLD CUTS! Incroyable!
	2:06pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Krys O. @1:43 Yeah, nuttytown!
	2:06pm Ciggy: Burt Bacharach - Obituary www.nytimes.com...
	2:06pm Jack McGuire: ↳ Magenta @1:44 You know it. It's an outrage.
	2:08pm dale: now i'd like a half pound of olive loaf.
	2:08pm paddy in matawan: But do they have Lebanon Bologna?
	2:10pm HyperDose: Deli fatigue is a real thing
	2:12pm Krys O.: Popeye's!
	2:12pm paddy in matawan: I still haven't been to Wendy's in my grown up life. I want to try those newish fries.
	2:13pm paddy in matawan: But Chik-Fil-A nuggets are the best chicken item in the fast food world.
	2:15pm Magenta: Chocopies are delicious! I saw some at the bodega near me but didn't buy. Moon Pies are great too but I almost never see them.
	2:16pm Krys O.: ↳ Magenta @2:15 You can make Moon Pies at home: www.allrecipes.com...
	2:17pm Pseu Braun: STRING CHEESE WIT PREGGO SAWCE
	2:18pm Zinn The Mood: ↳ Elena @12:57 Thanks for this link, looking forward to hearing it. Loved the Manics “This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours.” Pretty radical band, unafraid of speaking truth to power. Dug your story about it helping you learn in English. Have heard that from many friends from overseas. Song always makes me think of my Mom. Who loved singing it as we drove around in the car as kids.
	2:18pm bradford: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:17 now that's livin'
	2:18pm Listener Robert: Don and I have been living off food bank food for months, and frequently it is expired, yet surprisingly fresh. Years ago eggs used to start floating (gas buildup) well before expiration. Now they're well past expiration yet still good.
	2:18pm Krys O.: Target's Good and Gather line is decent and affordable. I like their marinarararara.
	2:18pm Jack McGuire: I wanna hear Fred say"Eating chicken vindaloo". I'm convinced Joey Ramone is driving a deli slicer in Greater New York.
	2:19pm HyperDose: And I thought I bachelored hard. Teach me your ways, Alan!
	2:19pm dale: and the prego jars are good to reuse for canning.
	2:19pm Lerch: This is a wonderful conversation
	2:19pm Magenta: ↳ Krys O. @2:16 Ooooh I'm not much of a baker but I should try that!
	2:20pm Magenta: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:17 It can only be Polly-O string cheese!
	2:20pm HyperDose: Get 'em in quality control. Nothing gets by these two!
	2:20pm Listener Robert: If you like venison, it's hard to find it on sale -- the economics of non-farmed food like that make it a losing proposition to sell -- but hunters give it away like crazy to butchers who donate it to food pantries, where they keep it frozen.
	2:21pm bradford: holy smokes!
	2:21pm paddy in matawan: ↳ Listener Robert @2:20 I'd like to find venison.
	2:22pm Lerch: Venison's good eating. Watch out for prions, though
	2:22pm Krys O.: I like my tuna salad with olive oil and ACV (apple cider vinegar) instead of mayo.
	2:22pm ?: It’s disturbing that any person would eat like this
	2:23pm Listener Robert: ↳ paddy in matawan @2:21 Look for a food bank/charity near you. Most of them give it away, no questions asked, to those who register to receive it.
	2:23pm Magenta: Fred and Alan should host a cooking show and write a cookbook. I would definitely watch and buy.
	2:23pm paddy in matawan: ↳ Listener Robert @2:23 Interesting. I would feel somewhat guilty about that though. I don't need the help.
	2:24pm Pseu Braun: ↳ HyperDose @2:20 This place could use some quality control!
	2:24pm steveo: ↳ paddy in matawan @2:23 i'm sure they also accept cash donations, so you could help feed people who don't want venison
	2:25pm paddy in matawan: ↳ steveo @2:24 Good idea SteveO
	2:25pm Krys O.: No food shaming, please. Everyone is trying to survive in this world. No condescension.
	2:26pm dale: they don't age so maybe they use the mayonnaise as a moisturizer too.
	2:26pm Listener Robert: ↳ paddy in matawan @2:23 Don't feel that way. This country is full of food looking to be given away. Certain things, like milk, somewhat short, but others they're happy to have someone to take away. Some of these groups are even affiliated with gardeners who have produce to give away, but mostly it's canned and boxed items. Some baked goods, though.
	2:26pm paddy in matawan: mayOIsturizer
	2:27pm Krys O.: Thanks, Fred, Alan, and Pseu!
	2:27pm Roberto: You gotta make it fast, Jimmy.
	2:28pm Krys O.: I have Peacock on my Xbox. Need to check that out.
	2:28pm Pseu Braun: jimmy who?
	2:28pm Magenta: ↳ Krys O. @2:25 I didn't intend to food shame! A lot of what they talked about sounded delicious to me.
	2:28pm wind: What KrysO said:)
	2:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Magenta @2:28 It wasn't you, Magenta. Nope. It was some anonymous trolls.
	2:29pm Lerch: Anyone ever watch that Possum Living documentary?
	2:30pm Susan: Good times with Allan thanks Sue
	2:30pm Jack McGuire: That was great!
	2:30pm dale: missus dale could write in and tell some stories about selling caviar and smoked fish. her boss was in toronto once on a work trip and caled her at 4 am and said he couldn't find his pants. all kinds of wacky customer stories too, high end chefs, doing product demos at dibruno brothers in philly, training wait staff etc.
	2:31pm Roberto: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:28 Dave the Spazz sound bite reference.
	2:32pm Listener Robert: The best free food pickings, however, is what I've been doing close to 30 years: mulberries off trees in their season. People plant mulberries, then find them a nuisance as they shed and stain. They're not the best tasting berries, but they're pretty good. Black caps similarly, slightly later, on creeper vines, but thorny. Often you can find patches of wild raspberries by the road too. Those taste great. About a month later than mulberries. And it gets you out in the fresh air and exercising. And getting ticks.
	2:33pm HyperDose: Another amazing installment. Thank you for bringing these titans of industry and injury into our lives, Pseu!
	2:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Listener Robert @2:32 Yes! We used to pick mulberries off trees as kids. Mom and Dad found wild blueberries in a local park and they dried them out for blueberry tea. Yum. Oh, and one time Dad spotted sorrel. We had Polish sorrel soup (schav). YUMMY!
	2:35pm paddy in matawan: xoxoxo pseu, fred, alan!
	2:35pm winston legthigh: gobba gobba hey!
	2:40pm emilie s: ↳ Listener Robert @2:32 My partner and I can just barely get to the mulberries before the birds. I'm having an argument with our town's recreation director because he wants to get rid of a mulberry tree next to a ball field and assumes everyone is as annoyed by the berry stains and bird crap as he is, and I have to be lone voice saying that I go out of my way on evening walks to get the damn berries!
	2:41pm Listener Robert: ↳ Krys O. @2:35 Lucky you with blueberries. Only place I found any wild was when I was biking in Tibbet's Brook Park in Westchester County, and it was just a couple on one tree.
	2:41pm Krys O.: ↳ Listener Robert @2:41 This was in the 60s and 70s.
	2:42pm winston legthigh: i hear the breeders.
	2:43pm captain beef fart: ↳ winston legthigh @2:42 me too
	2:44pm Lerch: I'm always falling asleep when "better make it fast Jimmy" comes on. But then I'm awake and chuckling
	2:45pm Roberto: ↳ Lerch @2:44 It immediately comes to mind for me whenever someone needs to make something fast.
	2:47pm winston legthigh: nice blast from the past pseu!
	2:47pm Pseu Braun: ↳ Roberto @2:45 what is it from? never heard it
	2:49pm Roberto: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:47 Some radio clip that D the Spazz always plays near the end of his show.
	2:50pm Pseu Braun: i listen to spazz every week don't recall it!
	2:50pm Dennis Diken: hi Pseu and gang - couldn't hang out and chat today but totally dug the show. long live Burt Bacharach!
	2:50pm Roberto: ↳ Pseu Braun @2:50 I guess you never make it to the end lol
	2:52pm listener 126464: Thank you, Pseu, good day everyone!
	2:52pm Jason from Houston: NIIIIIIIICE
	2:53pm winston legthigh: now we're cooking! thanks pseu, laters.
	2:53pm HyperDose: According to David there's a "big show tonight" ...whatever that means 🎸🎹🐒 Hey Dennis! Hope you're enjoying the hiatus. Miss the Den. But I guess that frees up some time for you and Gaylord to hop on a cruise this summer!
	2:53pm radioronan: Thanks Pseu..Great to hear Fred & Alan check in! Cheers y'all!
	2:53pm common: pseu! all
	2:53pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu!
	2:54pm Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Pseu. Check y'all soon.
	2:54pm steveo: Did not realize Burt wrote Rock Lobster. Thanks for the great show & tribute (yes that's a joke)
	2:54pm Glennz_Cat: Sorry, I'm a little late to the party. Question about the chicken parm recipe...do you pull the Polly-O string cheese apart or slice it?
	2:54pm Jack McGuire: Thankee, Pseu!
	2:55pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "rock lobster (single version)" by "the b-52s" I keep hearing P!atD when I hear that riff. Killer tune
	2:55pm RevWaldo: ↳ Song: "rock lobster (single version)" by "the b-52s" Lying on the floor now, to the dismay of my co-workers.
	2:55pm Dennis Diken: ↳ HyperDose @2:53 thanks, it means a lot HyperDose - I am actually playing a cruise in March! The Den shall reopen down the line!
	2:55pm San Pedro Girl: Thank you Pseu! Best wishes to all.
	2:56pm Jack McGuire: Pass the tanning mayo.
	2:57pm HyperDose: Of course Dennis plays cruise ships. Too cool! Thanks Pseu :)
	2:57pm paddy in matawan: i'll grab the surfboard mayo too!
	2:58pm Gaylord Fields: Pseuttso Muni!
	2:58pm RevWaldo: Thanks Pseu!
	2:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Is that the voice of the Old Codger's wife?
	2:58pm timinoak: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @2:58 hahaha
	2:59pm Andres: Great tribute, tunes and conversation. Thanks, Pseu!
	2:59pm Roberto: I dare Pseu to talk like this for the duration of her next show.
	2:59pm RevWaldo: ↳ timinoak @2:58 Natasha Lyonne?
	3:00pm Jeff Moore: Little bit o' Natasha Lyonne in there... ...or Bart Curlish the Holistic Assassin.
	3:01pm bradford: Thanks Pseu, Fred & Alan!
	3:01pm Dennis Diken: ↳ HyperDose @2:57 the best one was the Malt Shop Cruise, the late great Geator was the host!
	3:05pm mdaronco: Psue's got quite a voice. :)
	3:06pm paddy in matawan: NICE SiNGING!!!!
	7:45pm popsicornia in vancouveronia: @Gaylord Fields You are so missed Gaylord!!
