	♥ 3:09pm Acid Cazh: This evokes such a great headspace for a Friday afternoon in a corporate office with my earbuds in, none of my colleagues the wiser
	3:09pm ?: Raise your hand if inzanelyrejected Insta Swans memes brought you here
	3:11pm love2laf: ↳ winston legthigh @3:06 Cheers winston legthigh, hope you're having a great Friday. All the comments boards seem smaller without Handy around to jump in.
	3:12pm winston legthigh: ↳ love2laf @3:11 i was thinking the same thing! hope handy is in good spirits.
	♥ 3:13pm Acid Cazh: ↳ @3:09 I quit Instagram several years ago for reasons of stubborn self-perceived moral superiority. Johnny Inzane is the only account I miss, even slightly. Fortunately my wife keeps me updated and sense screenshots from time to time.
	♥ 3:13pm MobiusTurnbuckle: it's been a stressful work day but it's winding down now. glad to end it with some good tunes!
	3:13pm love2laf: ↳ winston legthigh @3:12 And having a great trip, and Friday afternoon, if he's not in good spirits, he's drinking good spirits.
	♥ 3:13pm Orthofrancis: My mind likes that theres a new Swans album, but my ears have never forgiven me for seeing them a few times. Not as loud as MBV thank god
	🥀 ♥ 3:14pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Mona! hi, everyone! hi, new Lana Del Rey! :)
	3:15pm winston legthigh: ↳ love2laf @3:13 :))))))

	🥀 ♥ 3:15pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Vinyl Hero @3:15 out today, Hero!
	3:16pm zak: LDR just keeps getting better and better. This new song is titanic, hallucinatory, beautiful, scary and everything else all at the same time. All hail!
	♥ 3:16pm MobiusTurnbuckle: wow I'm impressed by Lana del Rey this is stellar
	3:16pm Vinyl Hero: ↳ chris in the redwoods @3:15 I have a lot of catching up to do!
	♥ 3:17pm Ike: ↳ Song: "A&W (Clean)" by "Lana Del Rey" This is good! The album name needs a question mark, though.
	♥ 3:19pm luka: what uuuuuuup
	3:20pm love2laf: ↳ zak @3:16 That is the perfect way to describe the mood this song evokes. Chef kiss!
	♥ 3:20pm Acid Cazh: Beatmatching into Teardrop, I'm so here for it.
	♥ 3:20pm luka: thought this might be a fill-in, so i checked the fill-in page and was delighted to see we're gonna get Mona on Wake again soon
	♥ 3:20pm Orthofrancis: Aww this song reminds of when I was living in Princeton. Beautiful little city
	♥ 3:20pm B R M: Liz!
	♥ 3:21pm Ike: Is the style-hopping epic pop suite (?) a thing lately? Metric also did one called “Doomscroller”.
	3:21pm Vinyl Hero: AAAAHHHH...this transition is mind-blowing!
	♥ 3:21pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Teardrop" by "Massive Attack" Soooo good.
	🥀 ♥ 3:21pm chris in the redwoods: A&W into Teardrop... delicious!
	♥ 3:22pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "Teardrop" by "Massive Attack" If memory serves, this was on The Crow Soundtrack.
	♥ 3:22pm RevWaldo: ↳ Song: "Teardrop" by "Massive Attack" The patient needs MORE mouse poop injections!
	3:22pm TVP: This week on House: Dr. House cures the Princeton basketball team of their March Madness.
	3:22pm olivia: ahhh that Lana into teardrop transition was amazzeeee!
	3:22pm K8: Oh, shit, here comes 1998 washing over me! Teardrop! I had this album on repeat that year...HELLO MONA! So excited to just sit and drift on what you're spinning...thank you!
	3:23pm winston legthigh: hello k8!
	♥ 3:23pm Orthofrancis: As a doctor, I liked the show, becuase they got the personalities right. The medicine was a bit sketchy
	♥ 3:24pm Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Teardrop" by "Massive Attack" I saw Massive Attack at the Palladium- the date is blurred. I just remember Horace Andy performing Man Next Door
	3:25pm K8: ↳ winston legthigh @3:23 How you doin Winston?
	3:26pm Danny San: ,,,,good stuff ,,,,
	3:27pm winston legthigh: ↳ K8 @3:25 great! hope you are enjoying your friday. handy is missed on the accu.

	3:32pm K8: ↳ winston legthigh @3:27 Yeah, I miss him too! This is the first time he's been away since the pandemic started...solitude is very intriguing!

	3:34pm alan the painter: Oh Mona, u R! thank you for gliding through the afternoon, spinning dizzy blonde 'ear...
	♥ 3:36pm nathan: ↳ Song: "Mona" by "Bo Diddley" i could have sworn Gira said their previous album was going to be the last. not complaining...
	♥ 3:36pm nathan: oops... that was obviously meant to be a comment on the Swans track
	3:37pm love2laf: ↳ K8 @3:32 Ugh I remember that first trip Andrew took without me since the pandemic started, it was weird, very weird. This is why I always must have a cat, they get hating change.
	3:39pm K8: ↳ love2laf @3:37 You know, I miss Handy, but sometimes it's good to miss each other, you know? And I've been working so intensely for the past couple months, it's nice to take a breath and commune with myself. And we have THREE cats and a dog, so, I'm not really that alone.
	3:39pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "More to Lose" by "Seona Dancing" I did not know this was Ricky Gervais, what a wild thing to learn this many years later.
	♥ 3:40pm Bobby: Mona show feels good in this time slot
	♥ 3:43pm MobiusTurnbuckle: it's so good at this time I look forward to it weekly
	3:45pm love2laf: ↳ K8 @3:39 Very well said, it is good to miss each other, and get in your private headspace. The pets keep us company, and remind us when it's time to eat.
	3:47pm K8: ↳ love2laf @3:45 Lord, if I'm too late feeding these monsters, they'll start gnawing on my arm!
	3:51pm Robm: ↳ K8 @3:22 Now i am sure there are shows you can binge watch.
	3:52pm K8: ↳ Robm @3:51 Watching "Sort Of" and I'm totally into it!
	3:53pm Robm: ↳ K8 @3:52 Never heard of it, what is it about
	3:53pm ?: I’d never heard that Bowie track! ty Mona
	♥ 3:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mona and dance hall. Let's wrap this week up!
	3:55pm NYsoul living in another place: That Bowie song was sublime. We lost him too soon
	♥ 3:55pm Midge: ↳ Song: "Bible Dreams" by "The Wild Swans" This was on the Just Say Yo Sire comp that was on constant rotation for me. I fucking love that CD
	3:56pm K8: ↳ Robm @3:53 About a young trans woman, 1st generation Pakistani American...her family, her chosen family, her work family (she's a nanny). Digging it...certainly not a story I've seen a TV show about before, which is cool.
	3:56pm K8: ↳ Song: "none the wise" by "Cyote" I am LOVING this Cyote track, Mona!
	🥀 ♥ 3:56pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "none the wise" by "Cyote" more new (to me) wonderfulness!

	4:00pm love2laf: There are many websites out there that will pronounce names for you www.pronouncenames.com is just one of many. I find it super helpful to practice names that would be otherwise impossible to decipher.
	♥ 4:00pm Phillippe: howdy
	♥ 4:01pm T GRavel: Killin' it MOna!! welcome back (kinda) hey e'rybody
	🥀 ♥ 4:01pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Phillippe @4:00 hey, hey!

	4:03pm herb.nyc: Pronunciation? I listened to billy crudup interview on wnyc Fresh Air. He did a vocal prep, said Topeka fast, 4,5x. Then same w Bodega. Then Topeka Bodega combo. Come on, Mona and all, let’s do it now…
	4:03pm Caspar: Hey Mona your my favourite!
	4:04pm Caspar: Love from Wiesbaden Germany
	♥ 4:05pm Phillippe: ↳ Caspar @4:04 hey Caspar!
	4:05pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @4:00 Just bookmarked that thanks The listmind strikes again
	4:05pm Derbs: Good stuff Mona!
	4:06pm K8: ↳ love2laf @4:01 Yeah, I guess it's set in Toronto? And I was wrong...the lead character Sabi identifies as gender-fluid, not as a trans woman. It's a funnysad show, and I love those.
	4:07pm Robm: ↳ herb.nyc @4:03 Is terry gross still doing fresh air?
	4:08pm herb.nyc: ↳ Robm @4:07 Do bees buzz? Yes. (Someone slagged her recently but I really like her)
	4:08pm Vinyl Hero: This is...gold.
	4:10pm love2laf: ↳ K8 @4:06 Sad funny is awesome, that's why I loved "We Are Lady Parts" it was a fantastic show for balancing the difficult with humour.
	4:11pm Robm: ↳ herb.nyc @4:08 Just have not for a while, read that NPR is going to end a couple of podcasts, and why did someone slag her
	♥ 4:13pm steveo: 2 years & 6 minutes 2 yards and 6 miles 2 yams and 6 mashed potatoes
	4:16pm herb.nyc: ↳ Robm @4:11 Person just dumbly casually said “grrr, that Terry gross!” No reason. (Log off, to go shop. Mona and all, do those exercises w/out me. Don’t worry, I’ll catch up)
	4:18pm Robm: ↳ herb.nyc @4:16 Gotcha thanks anyway
	♥ 4:19pm Bobby: Fever Ray yes
	♥ 4:29pm tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Comet" by "Christopher Willits" This is nice! It reminds me of Windy and Carl and Stars of the Lid.
	♥ 4:30pm Richy4619: Space is potent___ ♬。ﾟ

	♥ 4:44pm MobiusTurnbuckle: why am I surprised the sparks still make good music I should have known
	♥ 4:44pm efd: ↳ Song: "The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte" by "Sparks" how did I not play this on Wednesday?!
	4:45pm love2laf: ↳ efd @4:44 I wasn't going to say anything, it was a shocking omission.
	♥ 4:46pm efd: ↳ love2laf @4:45 IT WAS! I had it in my list and everything!

	♥ 5:06pm Ryansterlingvirtue: i saw they covered this on spotify but I was scared to listen to it. it's actually decent!
	♥ 5:06pm DanFA: ↳ Mona @5:03 It would have to be a play on Siouxsie Sioux or Robert Smith. Someone like that.
	5:07pm martha: Always appreciate the fmu dj that does a little transition. 😍
	♥ 5:07pm tim from washington: ↳ K8 @5:05 The MonaRail?

	5:17pm K8: ↳ northguineahills @5:16 Well, it seems like I'd have to be asleep for REM dance, so yeah...I might be able to muster that.
	♥ 5:18pm steveo: definitely chair dancing

	5:31pm K8: ↳ D Rok @5:27 At some point in the pandemic when things were more locked down, it snowed a lot. And I was like, if I can't go running, I'm going to lose my mind...and then I started dancing in my kitchen for three hour blocks to Mona's archives. The PANDAMONA-IUM saved my freaking life!
	♥ 5:31pm rx scabin: ↳ K8 @5:29 You can. You will.

	5:35pm K8: ↳ rx scabin @5:31 You too, rx scabin! We can do it! Damn, the love off this board is awesome...no wonder Handy is on here all the time!
	5:36pm K8: ↳ Ciggy @5:34 I wish everyday was Halloween. I really do...except then maybe I wouldn't love Halloween quite as much? Nah, I'd still love it.
	5:38pm northguineahills: ↳ K8 @5:35 still not sure how you got him to agree to your 'just go to wisconsin' disappearer story. genius! (we won't tell the authorities). will miss him jinxing me all the time 😜
	5:39pm Richard from Venezuela: Eluvium is so good.
	5:40pm K8: ↳ northguineahills @5:38 Only non-stop RPGs could keep him off the WFMU comment boards...the missives from WI seem to say he's having a good time. He'll roll back to y'all on Tuesday...I bet he'll sneak in at some point before then, too. He'll get jonesing for WFMU chat...
	5:41pm Wangafuka: goddamn WFMU, these tracks are straight from my favs playlist <3
	🥀 ♥ 5:42pm The Butterman: ↳ K8 @5:29 Same schedule for me. Yes, we will get there!
	5:42pm vrykoluka: Now skating pivot, Mon-Ad-Knock
	5:42pm Wangafuka: max cooper.. what an amazing artist. also love blurred & obscured's Gas track every time he talks
	♥ 5:43pm Ike: ↳ K8 @5:09 The only comments section that's nearly as good as this one is on Gothamist; I even recommended WFMU over Spotify and mostly got good responses, though one person said FMU has "a vague patchouli mango crunch swirl thing going on. I prefer KEXP." Like... what??? I can accept mango crunch swirl, but I object to the patchouli. It's more like durian potato robot maniac crunch swirl on rye with tomatoes and onions, sitting next to marbles in a blender, while angry cyborg Thai eggplants tear down a nearby city.
	5:43pm Wangafuka: would anyone know how to describe the "genre" or style of artists like max cooper, evulium, ...carbon based lifeforms, even boards of canada... four tet gets that wobbly psychedelic feel too
	♥ 5:44pm Destroit: ↳ K8 @5:40 Lol god love Handy and his rpg’s
	5:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @5:43 couldn't put it any better...

	5:45pm Richard from Venezuela: ↳ Ike @5:43 Kexp is too mindie (mainstream indie)
	5:45pm K8: ↳ Ike @5:43 Ike, your description of WFMU is freaking sublime. Someone make a gif of that or something...srsly!!!
	5:46pm eric from lake hiawatha: David Byrne?
	♥ 5:47pm Doug in MP: This is the only show my wife listens to in the living room. Every Friday I stand at the oven and think about where I could run speaker wire so I can hear it better
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... tammy wynette w/ the klf!
	5:47pm Andres: the JAMs
	5:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... ...now, if we could drop in some Timelords....

	5:50pm K8: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... Where is this Mu Mu Land and should I book a ticket?
	♥ 5:51pm D Rok: ↳ Richard from Venezuela @5:45 I agree with that completely. I used to listen to KEXP all the time when I lived in Seattle and didn't know WFMU existed. But KEXP truly pales in comparison. They accept underwriting, and as a result, are very well funded. They feel very Corporate Indie.
	🥀 ♥ 5:51pm The Butterman: Take a moment to just think that in 10 minutes we get Stashu and evenMORE magic radio! Then Billy! Unbelievable!
	5:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @5:43 oh, and the eggplants tearing down a city, that really did happen...
	♥ 5:51pm Doug in MP: ↳ Andres @5:49 She told me I should make dinner in the living room then
	5:51pm Matt the baker: lovey transition… haven’t caught this tune since a while!
	5:51pm eric from lake hiawatha: Bless you Mona!!! Dancing dancing dancing
	♥ 5:51pm rx scabin: I have this. Interesting packaging.
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Doug in MP @5:51 problem solved!! (wait...)
	5:52pm Andres: ↳ Doug in MP @5:51 She’s calling the bluff. Tough negotiator. I like it.
	♥ 5:53pm Mi-rgod: How did I miss that there was another Byrne and Eno album? What was happening to me in 2008?
	♥ 5:53pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... I don't think the Tammy version of this song was on the original issue of The White Room, was it? Or not the U.S. edition anyway. This was a much improved later version of the song. The Tammy version first came out as a single, as I recall, and then was included later in a 2-CD reissue of The White Room plus the CD-single, and probably some other versions...
	♥ 5:53pm rx scabin: ↳ Doug in MP @5:51 Take out.
	♥ 5:53pm Doug in MP: ↳ Andres @5:52 She knows it won't be her in the basement with a drill and wire staples
	♥ 5:54pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Strange Overtones" by "David Byrne & Brian Eno" I came to see what this was. Sounded like Talking Heads mashed with Xiu Xiu!
	5:55pm northguineahills: thhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnsssssssssss, mona 4 making fridays bleed perfectly....
	5:55pm Andres: ↳ Doug in MP @5:53 I feel your pain. My kitchen setup quit so I pump up the phone speaker as loud as it can go.
	5:55pm K8: Oh my goodness, Mona! I'm so happy I got to listen for almost the entire show! THANK YOU! Have a great weekend PANDA-MONA-IUM and all of you dear ones!
	♥ 5:55pm Midge: Thanks Mona! Perfect show for a grey rainy day.
	♥ 5:56pm rx scabin: Mona. Thank you.
	5:56pm love2laf: Thank you Mona and Friday friends, got busy with a call for the last hour, but still loved and enjoyed the music in the background. Happy weekend vibes everyone.
	🥀 ♥ 5:56pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Mona! great time was had! happy weekends, everyone!
	♥ 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona!
	♥ 5:56pm D Rok: Mona, you truly made my Friday bright. Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
	♥ 5:56pm Doug in MP: ↳ Andres @5:55 I use a laptop but the living room gets a terrestrial signal so the sync is unbearable
	♥ 5:57pm Midge: ↳ Andres @5:55 We're all about those portable JBL bluetooth speakers. I get to blast music whilst cooking
	5:57pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Raise your hand if you've read the "Illuminatus!" trilogy, wherein the Justified Ancients of Mu were popularised, though I think its authors, R.A. Wilson and R. Shea, might have invented the group earlier when they were writing pseudonymous letters to "Playboy " when they were editors there.
	♥ 5:57pm Doug in MP: Thank you Mona!
	5:57pm eric from lake hiawatha: Mona Have a swell weekend Thank you
	♥ 5:57pm T GRavel: thanks Mona! loved the shoW!!

	5:58pm Andres: ↳ Doug in MP @5:56 Different devices are out of sync here. :)
	♥ 5:58pm luka: thank u Mona
	5:58pm Andres: ↳ Midge @5:57 It’s in the budget proposal.
	5:59pm Andres: Excellent show, Mona!!
	5:59pm MoonAboveSun: Thanks Mona
	♥ 5:59pm Mona: thanks for hanging buds! see you next week!
	♥ 5:59pm steveo: thank you, Mona!
	6:00pm northguineahills: ↳ (Murakami Whywolf))) @5:57 not cover to cover..., but i know enough to prattle my way through a conversation about it...
	7:28pm Craig Long: great to meet you for dessert at Christeene (my good fortune!). I've hipped the Spaceflight moguls about your savoir-faire, so now you are IN---come back to Austin, and I'll cook beans and cornbread for you and yours. Hallelujah!

	3:09pm ?: Raise your hand if inzanelyrejected Insta Swans memes brought you here
	3:11pm love2laf: ↳ winston legthigh @3:06 Cheers winston legthigh, hope you're having a great Friday. All the comments boards seem smaller without Handy around to jump in.
	3:12pm winston legthigh: ↳ love2laf @3:11 i was thinking the same thing! hope handy is in good spirits.
	♥ 3:13pm Acid Cazh: ↳ @3:09 I quit Instagram several years ago for reasons of stubborn self-perceived moral superiority. Johnny Inzane is the only account I miss, even slightly. Fortunately my wife keeps me updated and sense screenshots from time to time.

	3:16pm Vinyl Hero: ↳ chris in the redwoods @3:15 I have a lot of catching up to do!
	♥ 3:17pm Ike: ↳ Song: "A&W (Clean)" by "Lana Del Rey" This is good! The album name needs a question mark, though.
	♥ 3:19pm luka: what uuuuuuup
	3:20pm love2laf: ↳ zak @3:16 That is the perfect way to describe the mood this song evokes. Chef kiss!
	♥ 3:20pm Acid Cazh: Beatmatching into Teardrop, I'm so here for it.
	♥ 3:20pm luka: thought this might be a fill-in, so i checked the fill-in page and was delighted to see we're gonna get Mona on Wake again soon
	♥ 3:20pm Orthofrancis: Aww this song reminds of when I was living in Princeton. Beautiful little city
	♥ 3:20pm B R M: Liz!
	♥ 3:21pm Ike: Is the style-hopping epic pop suite (?) a thing lately? Metric also did one called “Doomscroller”.
	3:21pm Vinyl Hero: AAAAHHHH...this transition is mind-blowing!
	♥ 3:21pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Teardrop" by "Massive Attack" Soooo good.

	3:22pm TVP: This week on House: Dr. House cures the Princeton basketball team of their March Madness.
	3:22pm olivia: ahhh that Lana into teardrop transition was amazzeeee!
	3:22pm K8: Oh, shit, here comes 1998 washing over me! Teardrop! I had this album on repeat that year...HELLO MONA! So excited to just sit and drift on what you're spinning...thank you!
	3:23pm winston legthigh: hello k8!
	♥ 3:23pm Orthofrancis: As a doctor, I liked the show, becuase they got the personalities right. The medicine was a bit sketchy
	♥ 3:24pm Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Teardrop" by "Massive Attack" I saw Massive Attack at the Palladium- the date is blurred. I just remember Horace Andy performing Man Next Door
	3:25pm K8: ↳ winston legthigh @3:23 How you doin Winston?

	♥ 3:36pm nathan: oops... that was obviously meant to be a comment on the Swans track
	3:37pm love2laf: ↳ K8 @3:32 Ugh I remember that first trip Andrew took without me since the pandemic started, it was weird, very weird. This is why I always must have a cat, they get hating change.
	3:39pm K8: ↳ love2laf @3:37 You know, I miss Handy, but sometimes it's good to miss each other, you know? And I've been working so intensely for the past couple months, it's nice to take a breath and commune with myself. And we have THREE cats and a dog, so, I'm not really that alone.
	3:39pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "More to Lose" by "Seona Dancing" I did not know this was Ricky Gervais, what a wild thing to learn this many years later.
	♥ 3:40pm Bobby: Mona show feels good in this time slot
	♥ 3:43pm MobiusTurnbuckle: it's so good at this time I look forward to it weekly
	3:45pm love2laf: ↳ K8 @3:39 Very well said, it is good to miss each other, and get in your private headspace. The pets keep us company, and remind us when it's time to eat.
	3:47pm K8: ↳ love2laf @3:45 Lord, if I'm too late feeding these monsters, they'll start gnawing on my arm!
	3:51pm Robm: ↳ K8 @3:22 Now i am sure there are shows you can binge watch.

	3:55pm NYsoul living in another place: That Bowie song was sublime. We lost him too soon
	♥ 3:55pm Midge: ↳ Song: "Bible Dreams" by "The Wild Swans" This was on the Just Say Yo Sire comp that was on constant rotation for me. I fucking love that CD
	3:56pm K8: ↳ Robm @3:53 About a young trans woman, 1st generation Pakistani American...her family, her chosen family, her work family (she's a nanny). Digging it...certainly not a story I've seen a TV show about before, which is cool.
	3:56pm K8: ↳ Song: "none the wise" by "Cyote" I am LOVING this Cyote track, Mona!
	🥀 ♥ 3:56pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "none the wise" by "Cyote" more new (to me) wonderfulness!

	4:00pm love2laf: There are many websites out there that will pronounce names for you www.pronouncenames.com is just one of many. I find it super helpful to practice names that would be otherwise impossible to decipher.

	4:03pm herb.nyc: Pronunciation? I listened to billy crudup interview on wnyc Fresh Air. He did a vocal prep, said Topeka fast, 4,5x. Then same w Bodega. Then Topeka Bodega combo. Come on, Mona and all, let’s do it now…
	4:03pm Caspar: Hey Mona your my favourite!
	4:04pm Caspar: Love from Wiesbaden Germany
	♥ 4:05pm Phillippe: ↳ Caspar @4:04 hey Caspar!
	4:05pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @4:00 Just bookmarked that thanks The listmind strikes again
	4:05pm Derbs: Good stuff Mona!
	4:06pm K8: ↳ love2laf @4:01 Yeah, I guess it's set in Toronto? And I was wrong...the lead character Sabi identifies as gender-fluid, not as a trans woman. It's a funnysad show, and I love those.
	4:07pm Robm: ↳ herb.nyc @4:03 Is terry gross still doing fresh air?
	4:08pm herb.nyc: ↳ Robm @4:07 Do bees buzz? Yes. (Someone slagged her recently but I really like her)
	4:08pm Vinyl Hero: This is...gold.
	4:10pm love2laf: ↳ K8 @4:06 Sad funny is awesome, that's why I loved "We Are Lady Parts" it was a fantastic show for balancing the difficult with humour.
	4:11pm Robm: ↳ herb.nyc @4:08 Just have not for a while, read that NPR is going to end a couple of podcasts, and why did someone slag her
	♥ 4:13pm steveo: 2 years & 6 minutes 2 yards and 6 miles 2 yams and 6 mashed potatoes
	4:16pm herb.nyc: ↳ Robm @4:11 Person just dumbly casually said “grrr, that Terry gross!” No reason. (Log off, to go shop. Mona and all, do those exercises w/out me. Don’t worry, I’ll catch up)
	4:18pm Robm: ↳ herb.nyc @4:16 Gotcha thanks anyway
	♥ 4:19pm Bobby: Fever Ray yes
	♥ 4:29pm tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Comet" by "Christopher Willits" This is nice! It reminds me of Windy and Carl and Stars of the Lid.
	♥ 4:30pm Richy4619: Space is potent___ ♬。ﾟ
	4:31pm bernard snowy: This groove is caving in my skull (in an erotic terrorist way)

	4:45pm love2laf: ↳ efd @4:44 I wasn't going to say anything, it was a shocking omission.

	5:17pm K8: ↳ northguineahills @5:16 Well, it seems like I'd have to be asleep for REM dance, so yeah...I might be able to muster that.
	♥ 5:18pm steveo: definitely chair dancing
	5:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:17 it's always perfect when you arrive, but you know you're quite right when it's a super weird time...
	♥ 5:18pm luka: does anyone here like the human league
	♥ 5:18pm Ciggy: "New York, ice cream, TV, travel, good times Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times"
	🥀 ♥ 5:19pm The Butterman: Mona is killin’ it! What a way to bring on the weekend. Yes, this week kicked my ass too, K8. Big time.
	5:20pm Andres: ↳ luka @5:18 I have a Fascination with them.

	♥ 5:31pm Destroit: Crossing Guard rules
	5:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:28 oh, yums, a truffle nom! merci!
	5:31pm K8: ↳ D Rok @5:27 At some point in the pandemic when things were more locked down, it snowed a lot. And I was like, if I can't go running, I'm going to lose my mind...and then I started dancing in my kitchen for three hour blocks to Mona's archives. The PANDAMONA-IUM saved my freaking life!
	♥ 5:31pm rx scabin: ↳ K8 @5:29 You can. You will.
	♥ 5:31pm PMD: :Hey! Happy to be here
	🥀 ♥ 5:32pm Baja Joe: Gotta' hit the road and do some mobile listening
	5:32pm K8: ↳ Doug in MP @5:30 Hey Doug! Thank you! We all can! We can do! Dance, babies, dance!
	5:32pm northguineahills: we need a model/acrtiz crossover w/ actress doing the model and crossover...
	♥ 5:34pm Ciggy: ↳ K8 @5:31 My gateway to Mona was the Every Day Is Halloween show - COVID October 2020
	5:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Ryansterlingvirtue @5:05 i'm w/ ryan, Mona is perfect as is to add gravitas to derby rink...
	♥ 5:35pm rx scabin: My Heavens. This song.
	5:35pm K8: ↳ rx scabin @5:31 You too, rx scabin! We can do it! Damn, the love off this board is awesome...no wonder Handy is on here all the time!
	5:36pm K8: ↳ Ciggy @5:34 I wish everyday was Halloween. I really do...except then maybe I wouldn't love Halloween quite as much? Nah, I'd still love it.
	5:38pm northguineahills: ↳ K8 @5:35 still not sure how you got him to agree to your 'just go to wisconsin' disappearer story. genius! (we won't tell the authorities). will miss him jinxing me all the time 😜
	5:39pm Richard from Venezuela: Eluvium is so good.
	5:40pm K8: ↳ northguineahills @5:38 Only non-stop RPGs could keep him off the WFMU comment boards...the missives from WI seem to say he's having a good time. He'll roll back to y'all on Tuesday...I bet he'll sneak in at some point before then, too. He'll get jonesing for WFMU chat...
	5:41pm Wangafuka: goddamn WFMU, these tracks are straight from my favs playlist <3
	🥀 ♥ 5:42pm The Butterman: ↳ K8 @5:29 Same schedule for me. Yes, we will get there!
	5:42pm vrykoluka: Now skating pivot, Mon-Ad-Knock
	5:42pm Wangafuka: max cooper.. what an amazing artist. also love blurred & obscured's Gas track every time he talks
	♥ 5:43pm Ike: ↳ K8 @5:09 The only comments section that's nearly as good as this one is on Gothamist; I even recommended WFMU over Spotify and mostly got good responses, though one person said FMU has "a vague patchouli mango crunch swirl thing going on. I prefer KEXP." Like... what??? I can accept mango crunch swirl, but I object to the patchouli. It's more like durian potato robot maniac crunch swirl on rye with tomatoes and onions, sitting next to marbles in a blender, while angry cyborg Thai eggplants tear down a nearby city.
	5:43pm Wangafuka: would anyone know how to describe the "genre" or style of artists like max cooper, evulium, ...carbon based lifeforms, even boards of canada... four tet gets that wobbly psychedelic feel too
	♥ 5:44pm Destroit: ↳ K8 @5:40 Lol god love Handy and his rpg’s
	5:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @5:43 couldn't put it any better...
	♥ 5:45pm PMD: This is such a great early afternoon Friday California time show.
	5:45pm Andres: ↳ Ike @5:43 Sounds good and delicious.
	5:45pm Richard from Venezuela: ↳ Ike @5:43 Kexp is too mindie (mainstream indie)
	5:45pm K8: ↳ Ike @5:43 Ike, your description of WFMU is freaking sublime. Someone make a gif of that or something...srsly!!!
	5:46pm eric from lake hiawatha: David Byrne?
	♥ 5:47pm Doug in MP: This is the only show my wife listens to in the living room. Every Friday I stand at the oven and think about where I could run speaker wire so I can hear it better
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... tammy wynette w/ the klf!
	5:47pm Andres: the JAMs
	5:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... ...now, if we could drop in some Timelords....
	5:49pm Andres: ↳ Doug in MP @5:47 The person making dinner should get the good speakers.
	5:49pm (Another) Patrick from Hoboken: The Ancients of MuMu!
	5:49pm dave: Damn!!!!!
	5:49pm PaulRocco: Killing it, Mona! Love!!!!
	5:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... i had this on cassingle!
	5:50pm K8: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... Where is this Mu Mu Land and should I book a ticket?
	♥ 5:51pm D Rok: ↳ Richard from Venezuela @5:45 I agree with that completely. I used to listen to KEXP all the time when I lived in Seattle and didn't know WFMU existed. But KEXP truly pales in comparison. They accept underwriting, and as a result, are very well funded. They feel very Corporate Indie.
	🥀 ♥ 5:51pm The Butterman: Take a moment to just think that in 10 minutes we get Stashu and evenMORE magic radio! Then Billy! Unbelievable!
	5:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @5:43 oh, and the eggplants tearing down a city, that really did happen...
	♥ 5:51pm Doug in MP: ↳ Andres @5:49 She told me I should make dinner in the living room then
	5:51pm Matt the baker: lovey transition… haven’t caught this tune since a while!
	5:51pm eric from lake hiawatha: Bless you Mona!!! Dancing dancing dancing
	♥ 5:51pm rx scabin: I have this. Interesting packaging.
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Doug in MP @5:51 problem solved!! (wait...)
	5:52pm Andres: ↳ Doug in MP @5:51 She’s calling the bluff. Tough negotiator. I like it.
	♥ 5:53pm Mi-rgod: How did I miss that there was another Byrne and Eno album? What was happening to me in 2008?
	♥ 5:53pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Justified & Ancient (All Bound For Mu Mu Land)" b... I don't think the Tammy version of this song was on the original issue of The White Room, was it? Or not the U.S. edition anyway. This was a much improved later version of the song. The Tammy version first came out as a single, as I recall, and then was included later in a 2-CD reissue of The White Room plus the CD-single, and probably some other versions...
	♥ 5:53pm rx scabin: ↳ Doug in MP @5:51 Take out.
	♥ 5:53pm Doug in MP: ↳ Andres @5:52 She knows it won't be her in the basement with a drill and wire staples
	♥ 5:54pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Strange Overtones" by "David Byrne & Brian Eno" I came to see what this was. Sounded like Talking Heads mashed with Xiu Xiu!
	5:55pm northguineahills: thhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnsssssssssss, mona 4 making fridays bleed perfectly....
	5:55pm Andres: ↳ Doug in MP @5:53 I feel your pain. My kitchen setup quit so I pump up the phone speaker as loud as it can go.
	5:55pm K8: Oh my goodness, Mona! I'm so happy I got to listen for almost the entire show! THANK YOU! Have a great weekend PANDA-MONA-IUM and all of you dear ones!
	♥ 5:55pm Midge: Thanks Mona! Perfect show for a grey rainy day.
	♥ 5:56pm rx scabin: Mona. Thank you.
	5:56pm love2laf: Thank you Mona and Friday friends, got busy with a call for the last hour, but still loved and enjoyed the music in the background. Happy weekend vibes everyone.
	🥀 ♥ 5:56pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Mona! great time was had! happy weekends, everyone!
	♥ 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona!
	♥ 5:56pm D Rok: Mona, you truly made my Friday bright. Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
	♥ 5:56pm Doug in MP: ↳ Andres @5:55 I use a laptop but the living room gets a terrestrial signal so the sync is unbearable
	♥ 5:57pm Midge: ↳ Andres @5:55 We're all about those portable JBL bluetooth speakers. I get to blast music whilst cooking
	5:57pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Raise your hand if you've read the "Illuminatus!" trilogy, wherein the Justified Ancients of Mu were popularised, though I think its authors, R.A. Wilson and R. Shea, might have invented the group earlier when they were writing pseudonymous letters to "Playboy " when they were editors there.
	♥ 5:57pm Doug in MP: Thank you Mona!
	5:57pm eric from lake hiawatha: Mona Have a swell weekend Thank you
	♥ 5:57pm T GRavel: thanks Mona! loved the shoW!!

	5:59pm Andres: Excellent show, Mona!!
	5:59pm MoonAboveSun: Thanks Mona
	♥ 5:59pm Mona: thanks for hanging buds! see you next week!
	♥ 5:59pm steveo: thank you, Mona!
	6:00pm northguineahills: ↳ (Murakami Whywolf))) @5:57 not cover to cover..., but i know enough to prattle my way through a conversation about it...
	7:28pm Craig Long: great to meet you for dessert at Christeene (my good fortune!). I've hipped the Spaceflight moguls about your savoir-faire, so now you are IN---come back to Austin, and I'll cook beans and cornbread for you and yours. Hallelujah!
