Listener comments!
	7:02pm Observations: We are live baby, live!
	7:03pm Listener Gregory: Good evening, all. I'm feeling a little brittle tonight. Maybe we could focus on soft rock hits of the 80s and 90s?
	7:04pm Yvang: Namaste!
	7:05pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:03 🙏🙏🙏🙏
	7:05pm doctorjazz: Hey David and Observers! (LG, been listening to Brooklyn Ryder, really like the CD. Took a bit to get to it).
	7:07pm Listener Gregory: ↳ doctorjazz @7:05 I'm glad. The Ziporyn is particularly good. Not so strong on soft rock hits of the 80s, though.
	7:22pm Observations: 🇪🇬
	7:22pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Aranda" by "Naná Vasconcelos - Nelson Angelo - No... Unfamiliar with this record and only recognize Vasconcelos, but nice!
	7:32pm Observations: ↳ Song: "We Nama" by "Ragnar Johnson & Jessica Mayer" "These previously unreleased recordings were made in 1976 and 1979"
	7:35pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Spirit Time-Exhalation" by "Kresten Osgood / Bob ... www.discogs.com...
	🥁 7:37pm WR: I have made a solemn vow to not buy any new to me discoveries from discog or bandcamp tonight. I may however bookmark them for future consideration.
	7:46pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Spirit Time-Exhalation" by "Kresten Osgood / Bob ... Tisziji!! I love this guy. Great combination of musicians. His recent disks with John Medeski are also good, as Medeski really seemed to grok him to the fullest.
	7:59pm Dean: Muñoz's work with--gasp!--Paul Shaffer is good, too.
	8:00pm zzz: ↳ Song: "Cardova" by "The Meters" just came out to sit on the porch and turned on @observations, greeted by the meters ohhhh yes. greetings peoples ✌️
	8:07pm zzz: ↳ Song: "La Ka Ba'a" by "Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy" this is instant vibe elevation i love it!
	8:09pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "La Ka Ba'a" by "Alogte Oho & His Sounds of Joy" Woo! (You may quote me.)
	8:10pm zzz: ↳ Song: "In What Direction Are You Headed" by "Tyshawn Sorey" funky tyshawn
	8:21pm Listener Gregory: David, if you could play music to wash dishes by for the next 20 min, I'd appreciate it. Thx.
	8:22pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:21 that's the only kind of music I play, so you're golden
	🥁 8:30pm WR: ↳ Song: "Somanti" by "Chouk Bwa & The Ångströmers" drums!
	8:38pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @8:22 Thanks! Dishes are done, so you can switch to the ironing music or lawn-mowing music or whatever the listeners need.
	8:39pm Dean: As opposed to music to wash clothes by, namely, Cajun.
	8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @7:59 It is. I heard them at the 55 Bar (when it existed), and Schaefer had a real McCoy Tyner vibe going on. The two are apparently boyhood friends, which seems very strange. They literally played bar mitzvahs together.
	8:49pm Dean: I didn't know that, @LG, but it's clear from the records that Shaffer admires Muñoz. That's a good thing, by my lights. Shaffer also hangs out at DMG, or so I understand.
	8:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:49 Huh! By the way, I apologize for my incorrect spelling of Shaffer, which really should not be spelled that way, IMHO.
	8:51pm Dean: You say Schaefer, I say Shaffer. Let's call the whole thing offer.
	🥁 8:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "All Across the Nation" by "All Saved Freak Band" Boogie!
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @8:52 WR, I just tried to send you email. You have been warned!
	🥁 9:04pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:58 received
	🥁 9:07pm WR: To be precise, you have heard early Soft Machine, but after 4 I stopped counting.
	9:10pm Observations: India Egypt Sudan Brazil Japan Papua New Guinea Jamaica Ghana Finland Haiti Belgium UK Iran USA Libya Israel Togo New Orleans so far...
	🥁 9:12pm WR: ↳ Observations @9:10 If that is list of today's playlist, need to add New Orleans,
	9:14pm Observations: ↳ WR @9:12 added
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:07 I only have to have heard a scrap of someone's music to proudly proclaim, "Oh yes, I have heard X!" And the less I have heard, the louder my opinions about it.
	9:16pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Bergen Is The Prettiest In Blue" by "Aksel Røed's... Norway
	🥁 9:23pm WR: ↳ Observations @9:16 Have you researched as to how to pronounce "Røed". I know one European DJ that uses Google or some such tool when in doubt. But people's names can be matter of local or family preference. I guess you can try to find a uboob vid where the performer in question says their own name or fellow band member announces their name. For some episodes that can become quite an odyssey to confirm all the names.
	9:27pm Observations: ↳ WR @9:23 didn't have time, but I use Google translate for that sometimes
	9:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:23 I was biting my tongue every time a certain esteemed DJ was saying "Brötzmann" this week. Not that I know exactly how to pronounce it, but I knew that what I was hearing was wrong. Foreign vowels are very hard.
	9:28pm Listener Gregory: Re: that Moriyama cut, it seems that there was a lot of excellent Japanese free jazz played in the last century that I am only hearing in this one. It is too bad that it wasn't played more widely in the US at the time.
	9:32pm Observations: ↳ Song: "La Charanga del Espacio" by "Carlos Pickling" Peru
	9:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:32 If I had a show, I'm pretty sure that at the end I would discover that all the artists lived in or came from New Jersey.
	9:35pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Just Friends" by "Sun Ra and his Arkestra" Saturn
	9:35pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Just Friends" by "Sun Ra and his Arkestra" 🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐
	9:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "II" by "MEV" Hmmm, Symphony No. 107... did they record any other symphonies?
	9:43pm Observations: ↳ Song: "II" by "MEV" Alvin Curran, Frederic Rzewski, and Richard Teitelbaum
	🥁 9:46pm WR: Whatever anyone plays on WFMU in the evenings from now until next Wednesday, when I listen, there are periodic cadenzas of fireworks.
	🥁 9:47pm WR: It actually started last Friday.
	9:47pm Observations: 🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇
	9:48pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:43 Italy? (The group, not the individuals.)
	9:49pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 all Americans
	9:50pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 but group founded in Italy
	9:50pm Listener Gregory: For you Rzewski fans, I strongly recommend a recent release by Lisa Moore of his piano music, mostly with words. I blasted it in the car! lisamoore.bandcamp.com...
	9:50pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 to me it's an American band
	9:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:50 Right, and I think the name is an Italian acronym. Somehow it sounds to me more like European avant-garde than American.
	🥁 9:57pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:50 thank, will give a listen,
	9:58pm Listener Gregory: Excellent show, David, albeit admittedly weak on the soft-rock front. But that gives you something to work on in the future. Thanks!
	🥁 10:00pm WR: Thank you! David! The suspense of not knowing will surely pull us back in for next week. Oh, that will be on the 4th. Lots of fireworks will accompany. Thank you!
	10:03pm Observations: bye bye, see you next week

	8:41pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @7:59 It is. I heard them at the 55 Bar (when it existed), and Schaefer had a real McCoy Tyner vibe going on. The two are apparently boyhood friends, which seems very strange. They literally played bar mitzvahs together.
	8:49pm Dean: I didn't know that, @LG, but it's clear from the records that Shaffer admires Muñoz. That's a good thing, by my lights. Shaffer also hangs out at DMG, or so I understand.
	8:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @8:49 Huh! By the way, I apologize for my incorrect spelling of Shaffer, which really should not be spelled that way, IMHO.
	8:51pm Dean: You say Schaefer, I say Shaffer. Let's call the whole thing offer.
	🥁 8:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "All Across the Nation" by "All Saved Freak Band" Boogie!
	8:58pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @8:52 WR, I just tried to send you email. You have been warned!
	🥁 9:04pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:58 received
	🥁 9:07pm WR: To be precise, you have heard early Soft Machine, but after 4 I stopped counting.
	9:10pm Observations: India Egypt Sudan Brazil Japan Papua New Guinea Jamaica Ghana Finland Haiti Belgium UK Iran USA Libya Israel Togo New Orleans so far...
	🥁 9:12pm WR: ↳ Observations @9:10 If that is list of today's playlist, need to add New Orleans,
	9:14pm Observations: ↳ WR @9:12 added
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:07 I only have to have heard a scrap of someone's music to proudly proclaim, "Oh yes, I have heard X!" And the less I have heard, the louder my opinions about it.
	9:16pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Bergen Is The Prettiest In Blue" by "Aksel Røed's... Norway
	🥁 9:23pm WR: ↳ Observations @9:16 Have you researched as to how to pronounce "Røed". I know one European DJ that uses Google or some such tool when in doubt. But people's names can be matter of local or family preference. I guess you can try to find a uboob vid where the performer in question says their own name or fellow band member announces their name. For some episodes that can become quite an odyssey to confirm all the names.
	9:27pm Observations: ↳ WR @9:23 didn't have time, but I use Google translate for that sometimes
	9:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ WR @9:23 I was biting my tongue every time a certain esteemed DJ was saying "Brötzmann" this week. Not that I know exactly how to pronounce it, but I knew that what I was hearing was wrong. Foreign vowels are very hard.
	9:28pm Listener Gregory: Re: that Moriyama cut, it seems that there was a lot of excellent Japanese free jazz played in the last century that I am only hearing in this one. It is too bad that it wasn't played more widely in the US at the time.
	9:32pm Observations: ↳ Song: "La Charanga del Espacio" by "Carlos Pickling" Peru
	9:34pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:32 If I had a show, I'm pretty sure that at the end I would discover that all the artists lived in or came from New Jersey.
	9:35pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Just Friends" by "Sun Ra and his Arkestra" Saturn
	9:35pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Just Friends" by "Sun Ra and his Arkestra" 🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐
	9:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "II" by "MEV" Hmmm, Symphony No. 107... did they record any other symphonies?
	9:43pm Observations: ↳ Song: "II" by "MEV" Alvin Curran, Frederic Rzewski, and Richard Teitelbaum
	🥁 9:46pm WR: Whatever anyone plays on WFMU in the evenings from now until next Wednesday, when I listen, there are periodic cadenzas of fireworks.
	🥁 9:47pm WR: It actually started last Friday.
	9:47pm Observations: 🎆🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇
	9:48pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:43 Italy? (The group, not the individuals.)
	9:49pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 all Americans
	9:50pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 but group founded in Italy
	9:50pm Listener Gregory: For you Rzewski fans, I strongly recommend a recent release by Lisa Moore of his piano music, mostly with words. I blasted it in the car! lisamoore.bandcamp.com...
	9:50pm Observations: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:48 to me it's an American band
	9:51pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Observations @9:50 Right, and I think the name is an Italian acronym. Somehow it sounds to me more like European avant-garde than American.
	🥁 9:57pm WR: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:50 thank, will give a listen,
	9:58pm Listener Gregory: Excellent show, David, albeit admittedly weak on the soft-rock front. But that gives you something to work on in the future. Thanks!
	🥁 10:00pm WR: Thank you! David! The suspense of not knowing will surely pull us back in for next week. Oh, that will be on the 4th. Lots of fireworks will accompany. Thank you!
	10:03pm Observations: bye bye, see you next week
