	🥀 3:01pm Handy Haversack: Mona. Monadnocks. Saw the cardiologist today, so I think I can let my heart go bumbly-bump.
	3:01pm Jesse Dorris: he-he-hellooooo Mona and listeners!

	3:06pm chris_hues: Hi Mona, always love your show, thanks so much for having dope music taste
	🥀 3:07pm Handy Haversack: Plimsouls!
	3:08pm JeremyB: Handy... my D&D group was one dice roll away from TPK last night... nerd version of excitement... it's been a dull week.
	3:11pm Mona: bonjour friends, happy friday! today is gonna be heavy on the nostalgia and sounds of the west as i pack up my childhood home. thanks so much for joining me! <3
	3:12pm JeremyB: ↳ Mona @3:11 Lots of hugs... Hope you are doing well soon!
	🥀 3:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ JeremyB @3:08 Ha, that's extremely exciting! We basically had a TPK two weeks ago, but it was all undone by a wish, which is VERY not my usual style, but it all kind of came together. A love triangle was to blame, as is often the case, and the maggot-worshiping NPC cleric was able to eliminate his romantic rival, a djinn, by using the wish to get everyone back. They'll miss Awesome Tim the Badass Djinn, but Malerian is much more secure now, and everyone's alive. Of course, now that they are unstuck in Time and Death, certain forces are hoping to recruit them ... Working on that adventure right now as a matter of fact. This is proving useful: www.drivethrurpg.com...

	3:43pm sydnius: ↳ winston legthigh @3:41 howdy winston! 🐈‍⬛
	3:44pm Bryant in TO: ↳ Song: "Hideous Towns" by "The Sundays" Nothing like shimmering jangly chords to bring out the nostalgia
	3:45pm northguineahills: ↳ MTA Luke @3:42 the movie? it makes the day after look like a disney production....
	3:46pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @3:45 ngh how's the shoulder doing today?
	3:46pm BLCKDGRD: Love love love the Field Mice, thanks much!
	3:47pm JeremyB: I had my first coffee in two weeks just before this show started... I am BUZZING AROUND CAN'T SIT STILL
	3:47pm Bryant in TO: ↳ northguineahills @3:45 I don't think a movie changed my life more than that one. Left me shaken for a solid week
	3:47pm moviebuff: mona stays winning
	3:47pm TDK60: Howdy.
	3:48pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Mona @3:11 Hey Mona, I wish you the best with that. Lots of feelings I am sure. Perfect soundtrack
	3:50pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @3:46 oy. better, I'm only taking the muscle relaxants at night, and no longer popping vitamin I like candy. More annoyed by the lack of sensation in my left fingers, but that will slowly return. thanks for asking!
	3:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Bryant in TO @3:47 full disclosure, i didn't see it until 3 years ago. holy sheet, was that grim!
	3:54pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "Sensitive" by "The Field Mice" Thanks for this Mona! I bought that single immediately after hearing John Peel play it on the radio in 1989 (I was a sensitive youth) and then got into the whole Sarah Records thing. Special times. The B-side, "When Morning Comes To Town" is as much of a gem as the A-side.
	🥀 3:54pm B R M: Only bangers today I see... 🙌
	3:54pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @3:50 Glad to hear it's getting better, the numbness is no fun though. Hope it heals fully soon.
	3:55pm Paul Szepesvary: To Mona and all of you dear listeners: "Evergreen", a delightful musical comedy, starring the amazing Jesse Matthews is playing on tv.cuny.edu at 1:50am Saturday morning July 8, 2023 (broadcast television channel 25.3) Enjoy! It's a perfect nightcap after clubbing.
	3:56pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: Hellllooooooo to you too Mona, coming in loud and clear from out west.
	3:56pm MTA Luke: i was regressing in hometown last week
	3:56pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @3:54 i got the interview rescheduled, thankfully to next monday. Now, i've stumbled onto some excellent study material that I hope I can dazzle the interview team...(silver lining?)
	3:58pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @3:56 Excellent, that sounds most fortuitus. Remember to let yourself be confident and relaxed, you have got this. Oh, and pixie!
	3:59pm Bryant in TO: ↳ northguineahills @3:51 Oh yeah. I re-watch it every once in a while and it never fails to shock me how surreal it comes off while approaching it straight, almost like a documentary.
	3:59pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Tower of Song" by "The Jesus & Mary Chain" 🔥🔥🔥
	3:59pm SheWolf: Can't hear Mona very well. Tunes are loud & clear.
	4:00pm JeremyB: ↳ SheWolf @3:59 Soudned fine here but a little bit quiet... we'll get it sorted for next mic break
	4:01pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ SheWolf @3:59 She's not physically at the station today, I think.

	🥀 4:02pm winston legthigh: ↳ northguineahills @3:50 dare i say break a leg?
	4:03pm 80sZuulScully: Loving this playlist a lot, thanks Mona!
	4:04pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Midge @3:04 Probably more comfortable in Reno 😄

	4:05pm JeremyB: ↳ winston legthigh @4:04 These gifs are all MONA
	🥀 4:06pm winston legthigh: ↳ JeremyB @4:05 doh! way to go mona!
	4:06pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:06 Oh come now, we're not monotonous, we're Monaiacs! 😄
	4:06pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "One Day" by "The Church" Digging this deep cut from The Church! :)

	4:08pm love2laf: ↳ Mona @4:02 Muted Mona seems appropriate for the task of emptying your childhood home, the music is fabulous as always!
	4:09pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: Gotta be careful covering The Boss round here….gotta watch your self….but this I am digging.
	4:09pm kc: Downtown boys cover of this is also 🔥
	4:09pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ Marie in Queens @3:37 Ditto
	4:10pm MTA Luke: what a giffffff
	4:10pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Dancing In the Dark" by "Lucy Dacus" Love this cover!!! Thanks for playing!
	4:11pm MTA Luke: ↳ 80sZuulScully @4:10 first time hearing it and its making me sooooo nostalgic
	4:13pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ 80sZuulScully @4:03 Ditto
	4:14pm Robm: ↳ Song: "This Town" by "The Go-Gos" finally a song from the go gos which is a deep cut
	4:15pm northguineahills: ↳ winston legthigh @4:02 w/ me, it might end up being literal... 😛
	4:16pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ MTA Luke @4:11 Was the same for me too :)
	4:17pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @4:15 NGH see your feeling better
	4:19pm joe mulligan: say hi to mom-n-dad Mona, they raised you right! feeling the feels with these tunes also, recognizing about half of them
	4:20pm Alexandra: So good to turn this on and hear a song I absolutely love swooooooning
	🥀 4:20pm winston legthigh: hope you don't mind but i am done working for today. will be listening and not working.
	4:21pm Robm: hey alexandra nice to see you here
	4:21pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Future Politics" by "Austra" Nice!
	4:21pm Alexandra: Hi Robm!!!!
	4:22pm Robm: @L2L just saw about your cat, hope she can get used to it over the weekend?
	4:24pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Future Politics" by "Austra" Dancing away the caffeine jitters to these last few tracks...
	4:24pm JeremyB: And it keeps going!
	4:25pm MTA Luke: fr
	4:25pm jim from wood ridge NJ: Wow song 1 side 1!
	4:25pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @4:22 She just gets totally freaked by strangers thumping around in her house. Plus all the mosquitos that get let in. Hot water heater install took 2 weeks before she stopped meercatting to see if there was a truck coming down the driveway. I keep telling her, you were a feral lost kitten in the woods, and this is what you are now? Hasn't worked yet...
	4:25pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Effigy (I'm Not An)" by "Ministry" I heard all the stories about Al Jourgenson trying to bury this old ministry stuff... but I think its the best stuff he's ever done...
	🥀 4:26pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 right!?
	4:26pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 truth!
	🥀 4:26pm Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Effigy (I'm Not An)" by "Ministry" Al J.'s deep dark secret...🤣
	4:26pm Charlie in Montclair: I'm really enjoying the sounds coming out of Mom's house!
	4:27pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @4:25 don’t blame her at all, after the install on wednesday give her some catnip
	🥀 4:28pm Gregolomania: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 Allegedly, now he wants to re-record it.
	🥀 4:28pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ joe mulligan @4:26 hey, Joe! i owe you an email! on it.
	4:28pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @4:27 Umm, not only not food motivated, complete disinterest in catnip, weirdest cat ever, and I've had weirdos. How are you faring today?
	4:28pm Destroit: Aaaannddd its Friday. Hello Mona and all the good ones.
	4:29pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @4:28 pretty good outside on the patio enjoying the fresh air before it starts to rain
	4:29pm luka: just outstanding stuff here today
	4:29pm Mona: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 jeremy i hear they're going to embrace and do a new remastered release! FREAKING OUT
	4:30pm DanFA: Hello Mona.
	4:30pm JeremyB: ↳ Gregolomania @4:28 Really!?!? That could be amazing... as long as he's screaming in a distorted mid 90s industrial fashion. keep it synthy and dancy
	4:30pm JeremyB: ↳ Mona @4:29 Fantastic!
	4:31pm John L: I usually work on Fridays, so I never get to hear the show live. What a treat. Heading out in a few to see Audrey Golden read from her new book "I Thought I Heard You Speak - Women At Factory Records" Sounds like the kind of thing WFMU people would be interested in. It's at Spike's Record Rack in Catskill NY.
	4:31pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @4:28 howdy destroit
	4:31pm Mona: ↳ Gregolomania @4:28 woops reading comprehension low - i wonder how a re-record will sound!
	4:31pm Marie in Queens: I like the pdf pairing for the The Church tune @)
	🥀 4:31pm Gregolomania: ↳ JeremyB @4:30 www.slicingupeyeballs.com...
	4:31pm JeremyB: ↳ Gregolomania @4:31 Thanks!
	4:34pm JeremyB: The "metal-arena" idea does not thrill me with confidnece... I never really got into much of their stuff after Mind is a Terrible thing to taste, a few good songs on Psalm 69... and various remixes and stuff... but just so much metal noise
	🥀 4:34pm winston legthigh: ↳ Gregolomania @4:31 never saw jourgenson smile before.
	🥀 4:35pm Gregolomania: ↳ JeremyB @4:34 Yeah...that could go either way...🤔
	4:35pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Hey Sister" by "Simian Mobile Disco" Never heard this tune before and enjoying it, thank you for playing (and what a band name).
	4:35pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Marie in Queens @4:31 er, I meant gif. I'm dealing with a pdf at work
	4:36pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Hey Sister" by "Simian Mobile Disco" this is pretty sweet
	4:36pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: 🔥 🔥 🔥
	4:36pm Destroit: ↳ Robm @4:31 Hey buddy! 🙂
	4:37pm Robm: ↳ Marie in Queens @4:35 @Marie hat four letter word YUCK
	4:39pm Robm: ↳ Robm @4:37 i meant that
	4:40pm Destroit: I like my Ministry hard, fast, tech noise addled and full on satanic.
	4:41pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @4:40 guess i am going to have to do a deep dive of minstry
	4:41pm joe mulligan: ↳ chris in the redwoods @4:28 no rush! thanks!
	4:41pm wind: Wow Mona!!!!!
	4:41pm JeremyB: ↳ Robm @4:41 Start with Twitch, or Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste
	4:42pm Admire My Chives: ↳ Song: "Solitude (Felsmann & Tiley Reinterpretation)" by ... this is evocative of the Clockwork Orange soundtrack
	4:42pm luka: ↳ Song: "Summertime Clothes (Live)" by "Animal Collective" TUNE
	4:42pm luka: it’s 2009 again in my mind rn
	🥀 4:43pm Gregolomania: ↳ winston legthigh @4:34 Miracles do happen!
	4:43pm Robm: ↳ JeremyB @4:41 thanks jeremy, guess us glisteners look out for each other.
	4:43pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ luka @4:42 Would be going upstairs and getting the headphones for this one if I wasn't cleaning the house
	4:44pm Destroit: ↳ Robm @4:41 Guessing you’ll be a hard “nope” or it will grab you. Not much in between with them. I do have fond memories of their debut synth pop album, but liked the abrasive industrial metal stuff more.
	4:45pm Destroit: Meanwhile, Animal Collective may be the most disorienting band ever. Love it.
	4:45pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @4:44 will look for them at the local library, if not there look on spotify
	4:45pm JeremyB: ↳ Destroit @4:44 I always loved how Mind started out heavy and abrassive like that, but got trippier and dreamlike on the later tracks
	🥀 4:46pm winston legthigh: ↳ Destroit @4:40 hell yeah. saw them at rockville last year. about half way through the set it started raining. al was screaming just one fix. the band, the stage, their instruments, the audience were all dripping wet. it was surreal. then they cut the sound because of lightning and it was over. i wished it could have lasted forever.
	4:46pm ryansterlingvirtue: Hey Mona. Just checking in. Hope all is well. Show is 🔥 as always
	4:47pm Destroit: I was stone sober and had an animal collective song on while driving (forgot which one). Damn near crashed the car as i was in a full blown mental blender
	4:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:41 my freshman year roommate got me into Twitch, my sophomore roommate inroduced me to With Sympaty, and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste floored me when it came out. haven't heard anything beyond that tho
	4:48pm zenrebel: BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE! Yes, perfect time - just lit some incense and sparked up. Happy Friday y’all.
	4:48pm Crosby in KC: Thanks Mona! I've gotta run. Have a great weekend everyone!
	4:48pm JeremyB: ↳ joe mulligan @4:47 I can't remember for sure but I think I heard mind first, then discovered twitch and with sympathy from there...
	4:49pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Song: "Solitude (Felsmann & Tiley Reinterpretation)" by ... fantastic
	4:50pm JeremyB: ↳ joe mulligan @4:47 I think I was a freshman in high school when Mind came out, so that would have been the first... didn't really listen to industrial or synth pop stuff before that... unless DEVO counts
	4:50pm xtrakrispy: ↳ Song: "Bout des doigts" by "The Brian Jonestown Massacre" Is there such a thing as a bad BJM song?
	🥀 4:51pm winston legthigh: gotta run, thanks mona!
	4:51pm JeremyB: ↳ xtrakrispy @4:50 Clay Pigeon would say hell no.
	4:52pm Destroit: ↳ xtrakrispy @4:50 Nope!
	4:53pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Song: "Summertime Clothes (Live)" by "Animal Collective" I meant to say that this was fantastic (but Solitude was too). Really liked this
	4:53pm Vanessa bikes: Happy Friday from the road in Olympia, Washington! I finally got my sister to turn off the cozy mysteries with the premise of “real music” on WFMU. XXXO
	4:53pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:48 they're all so different it's fun to see people's listening trajectory
	4:53pm Destroit: The hallmark of a great band is that they dont have “bad” songs. Maybe average songs, but not bad.
	4:53pm jeanli: sigh, BJM forever
	4:54pm JeremyB: ↳ Vanessa bikes @4:53 Hey babe! Bring me back something?
	4:54pm Chief Guy: Underrated song.
	4:54pm Destroit: ↳ Vanessa bikes @4:53 Get it vanessa haha!
	4:54pm listener monica: nice set.
	4:55pm Chief Guy: Underrated song. Puzzling band name.
	4:55pm Destroit: I’ve never heard of Love Spit Love
	4:55pm Jesse Dorris: Oh wow, totally forgot about this Love Spit Love song, so gorgeous
	4:55pm JeremyB: ↳ joe mulligan @4:53 I kinda love when a band is so different from album to album... TKK is like that for me - they go from disko to garage rock to techno to industrial of the course of their catalogue (not necessarily in that order)
	4:56pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Destroit @4:55 They do a pretty solid cover of How Soon is Now.
	4:56pm Buckaroo: This LSL album was my go-to in '95. Fantastic.
	4:56pm Destroit: Better Mona!
	🥀 4:56pm chris in the redwoods: perfect, Mona and Jeremy!
	4:56pm love2laf: Levels awesome on my end!
	🥀 4:56pm Bobby: ↳ zenrebel @4:48 Hello Mona’s mom’s house!
	4:57pm SheWolf: ↳ JeremyB @4:07 Sounds good. Thanks Mona & co.
	4:57pm DanFA: Hi Mona's Mom and Dad
	4:57pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:55 true dat!
	4:57pm JeremyB: ↳ SheWolf @4:57 :)!
	4:57pm Chief Guy: LSL was a Richard Butler project post Psychedelic Furs
	4:58pm Destroit: ↳ Buckaroo @4:56 That explains it. 1995 was the apex of my rave days….all non-electronic music just blew by me
	4:58pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Chief Guy @4:57 I had no idea! His voice sounds so different from his Psychadelic Furs era to me, never put the two together.
	4:58pm Destroit: ↳ Chief Guy @4:57 Oh wow! Now i’ll have to check this record out
	4:59pm UFOspecialist: Loving this show today!
	4:59pm Buckaroo: ↳ Destroit @4:58 There are a couple of 'em - all good!
	🥀 4:59pm Bobby: ↳ Bobby @4:56 Sorry was going to comment about how much I love Jonestown but got distracted by Mona’s family
	4:59pm DanFA: Billy Jam is coming to your house, Mona?
	4:59pm gone with the wind: (: Hi Mona :)
	5:00pm Marie in Queens: BILLY!
	5:00pm TVP: Hey, 2 PM toast time!
	5:00pm 80sZuulScully: Cracking playlist today Mona
	5:00pm Mona: ↳ DanFA @4:59 YES! he's traveling a lot this summer doing remotes from all over, and he's making reno a stop! we're going to see billy childish next friday night! he's playing virginia city. all feels too good to be true
	🥀 5:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Seems that next week is PTNOTR in Reno (Brooklyn, NY, this week) - www.wfmu.org...
	5:02pm gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "Solitude (Felsmann & Tiley Reinterpretation)" by ... It feels like this was the most amazing sounds I've ever heard :)
	5:02pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Crying" by "Roy Orbison" I can see where Mona get her taste in music if her folks requested this.
	5:02pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @5:00 Weed and Homeboy Sandman afterparty haha!
	5:02pm gone with the wind: ↳ DanFA @5:02 Love it!!!
	5:03pm Alexandra: I keep missing mona talking while doing stuff around the house. Is she with mom and dad??? 🥲🥲🥲
	5:04pm JeremyB: ↳ Alexandra @5:03 Yep Mr and Mrs Mona are watching her perform live!
	5:04pm Alexandra: Oh i love that so much, thank you Jeremy
	5:05pm Robm: ↳ JeremyB @5:04 tough crowd for mona
	5:05pm gone with the wind: ↳ Mona @3:11 Good luck Mona. I wish you an easy journey with lots of music and laughs.
	5:06pm JeremyB: ↳ Robm @5:05 It would make me so self conscious (spelling?)
	5:06pm Alexandra: 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
	5:06pm listener 126464: Swell show today, Mona. Hope it's a smooth move.
	5:06pm Robm: ↳ Song: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by "Procol Harum" OH HELL YES
	5:07pm listener monica: Withnail & I
	5:07pm DanFA: ↳ listener 126464 @5:06 Is Mona moving?
	5:07pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: How come all these songs are so good Mona??? Tell your family your the best DJ in the world.
	5:07pm Fernando: Another show where it feels like Mona raided my record collection. Killer.
	🥀 5:07pm Bobby: ↳ Alexandra @5:06 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
	🥀 5:07pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by "Procol Harum" Somehow this song never gets old.
	5:07pm gone with the wind: ↳ listener 126464 @5:06 smooth move ...laughed out LOU:D
	5:10pm Marie in Queens: ↳ D Rok @5:07 I agree. Martin Scorcese used it in one of his movies very well; I can't remember which one
	5:10pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" Oh my god - did I listen to this album way to much in High School
	5:10pm Robm: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" oh hell yes
	5:11pm SheWolf: ↳ D Rok @5:07 My dad wants this played at his funeral. The older he gets the sadder it makes me.
	🥀 5:11pm Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" Johnette...💓
	5:11pm Rex P: “JOEY! BABY! 19! 90!” Thanks for the breathtaking college flashback ❤️
	5:11pm Alexandra: SheWolf 💜🥀
	5:11pm Destroit: ↳ JeremyB @5:10 One of my favorite voices of all time. You DO NOT wanna be in a car w me when this song comes on. I’ll sing this shit at 11
	5:11pm SheWolf: Urgh 2 songs in a row that choke me up.
	🥀 5:12pm D Rok: ↳ SheWolf @5:11 Oof. I'm sorry.
	5:12pm Mona: ↳ DanFA @5:07 i'm not personally moving; i moved my dad to memory care last month and now have to clean out his house so we can rent it and pay for said memory care. it's the house i grew up in and also like my dad's whole life to cull through. it feels like a lot, but this has been a fun break
	5:12pm luka: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" no. 1 hit
	5:12pm JeremyB: ↳ Destroit @5:11 Yeah - so good. all of it!
	5:13pm rx scabin: Good evening, Mona and Everyone.
	5:13pm Katharsis: Mona and listeners, out her listening and paperworking. Thanks you
	5:15pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" Great set of songs; glad yr w yr family. In Greg BAD RELIGION Graffin memoir, he writes of a very early recording experience in à studio run by a nice couple. Turns out it was johnette and her man(?).
	5:15pm Alexandra: Wish you and your family soothing thoughts and times Mona 💜
	🥀 5:16pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mona @5:12 all the best to you and the family, Mona! <3
	5:16pm Mona: ↳ Mona @5:12 lol and since i'm telling my life story, my dad's house doesn't have internet so i'm at my mom's house and her and her husband and their dog are staring at me do the show, and it feels so surreal and uncomfortable and chaotic lol
	5:16pm love2laf: ↳ Mona @5:12 It is a lot, and some things I asked myself, can I take a picture of this and let it go be loved by someone else now? Helped keep me from trying to keep a physical piece of everything that had memories attached to it.
	5:17pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @5:12 Hang in there mona. I was there 4 years ago after a stroke wrecked my dad. Movin out of childhood home gave me and moms and everyone all sorts of feels. When in doubt, hug someone. Seriously.
	5:17pm JeremyB: ↳ Mona @5:16 I hear the dog is super judgey about your musical tastes... but we love it! Really good show!
	5:18pm Robm: @Mona sympathy for having to do that with your dad, it has to be rough, BTW epic set you just played
	5:18pm Destroit: My goodness Mona this truly sounds like a top 5 bizarre day in your life. Good lord haha
	5:18pm rx scabin: @Mona You can do it.
	🥀 5:18pm Bobby: We love Mona
	5:18pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Father and Son" by "Cat Stevens" This makes me think of Harold and Maude... that was the movie I watched too many times in the 80s and 90s
	5:19pm herb.nyc: ↳ Mona @5:16 You’ve got the right attitude about all this, Mona. My parents both recently died and we still have the house. Wondering what to do w it, and I go there regularly. - as for the dog staring at you, just give him a chew toy.
	5:19pm Destroit: ↳ JeremyB @5:18 Just watched it again 3 weeks ago!
	🥀 5:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Just to mix it up, play something the dog wants to hear.
	5:20pm DanFA: ↳ Mona @5:16 I'm sorry to hear that Mona. All the best to you and your family. The WFMU community, I know, is here for you. Is there a gofundme we can donate to for medical costs?
	5:20pm Chief Guy: God bless you Mona.
	5:21pm Alexandra: Crying big fat tears and it feels good shoutout to my fellow crybabies out there
	5:21pm JeremyB: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:20 Yeah CAT stevens probably pissed him off
	5:21pm Robm: i hate to be depressed about all this but this is something we are all going to have to deal with ourselves when we get older
	5:22pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Mona @5:12 Best wishes to you and the family, Mona.
	5:22pm Andres: Top shelf CanCon.
	5:22pm Destroit: ↳ Alexandra @5:21 With ya girl! Shed a tear typing my note about my dad
	5:23pm officina: I went through the same thing last year...very difficult. You can do it and good luck. Also, wonderful show as usual.
	5:23pm anne: i totally had this song in my head this morning
	5:23pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @5:21 If you haven't heard of it yet, look up Swedish Death Cleaning, it's a thing people do, to make it easier on loved ones when the time does come.
	5:25pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @5:23 will do L2L and thanks, sorry this whole thing about aging is getting to me
	5:25pm northguineahills: my brothers' purged my parents' house in May. I was frozen out of attending, even though all of my non-vinyl music and equipment is there (i have no idea if it's still there or not). My father will be moving w/ my mother (who's memory care is now beyond his abilities) to place that caters to their needs in the fall. seems to many of wfmuers have been going through this lately..
	5:26pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @5:25 damn NGH that is really tough, hope you can at least visit them
	5:27pm Alexandra: Hi NGH, I’m sorry 💜
	🥀 5:27pm chris in the redwoods: indeed, ngh. my bro just finished cleaning out mom's place. she was lucky enough to have 24 hr care through a network of amazingly dedicated care givers, until she passed. note to all of us: get rid of all the crap, so the kids don't need to do it! :) <3
	5:28pm Mona: ↳ DanFA @5:20 oh that's so kind but no need - that was an estate sales company calling while i was on air - we're selling everything to pay for care, and then hopefully the monthly rent will then cover the costs. we're good! just so many details my mind is spinning and my breath is short - but all y'all are amazing. fuck threads, god bless the wfmu message board and larger community supporting with good energy beyond these small screens. <3 <3
	🥀 5:28pm Bobby: ↳ northguineahills @5:25 I’m ya brother, brother
	5:28pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @5:25 It's tough to think about, the upside is, you've lived long enough to worry about it. No need to apologise, I really think people are way too weird about it. 1 in 5 people deal with dementia, whether it's themselves or a family member, we should NOT be weird about it. Talk, help, listen. @ngh oh that is hard, I have crappy family members, it's hard and it hurts.
	5:29pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @5:28 You are loved❤️❤️
	🥀 5:29pm PerroCaliente: MONAAAAAA 🥹🥹 YOURE KILLING IT
	5:30pm Robm: @L2L your the best thanks
	5:31pm DanFA: ↳ Mona @5:28 I feel you. Many years ago I had a somewhat similar family issue. If I could get through you can. Also, I think Mark Hurst would second your sentiment on Threads.
	5:31pm Destroit: The emotional riptides of this particular timeslot are staggering
	5:32pm Alexandra: Well said l2l!!!
	5:32pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @5:31 dstroit going to have to listen to the first half again
	5:32pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Snowfall Soon" by "Piano Magic" Okay that picture is giving me all the feels, and I don't know why, but it's making me tear up.
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @5:26 I'm talking to my father again. I had to stop talking to my mother, as she's no longer able to keep the meta-structure of a conversation intact on the phone. I'll see them before I leave FL (i still intend on that being sooner rather than later).
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Snowfall Soon" by "Piano Magic" I 💖 piano magic!
	5:34pm Destroit: Yes, well said indeed l2l. And NGH, tough stuff ….fam drama sucks too. Sending you good wishes….
	5:34pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @5:33 good with your dad not too bad about your mom
	5:35pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @5:28 yeah, my siblings live 20 minutes away. The last i saw them was at my nieces' bday in April...(before that, xmas)
	5:35pm northguineahills: ↳ PerroCaliente @5:29 what PC said...
	5:37pm Destroit: This particular timeslot has had numerous borderline music therapy sessions (going back to Shiela). I mean this in a good way. Like real tears n stuff. Then hilariously, Stashu comes romper stompering in at 6 and i giggle again!
	5:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Alexandra @5:32 alex! casi me olivido de decir hola!
	🥀 5:38pm Bobby: Gun Club forever
	5:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:34 arigato!
	5:39pm love2laf: ↳ Destroit @5:37 Yes, that's the beauty of Friday! It gets even wilder when gentleman Joe does the fill-in for Stashu, and polkas HARD. Here we feel, and at 6 we let go and dance!
	5:39pm listener monica: I clean out houses for a living mostly donating and recycling everything. I rarely use a dumpster. It's a really hard job. This music is so melancholic, like how I feel after one of those gigs.
	5:40pm JeremyB: I have Mona in the main speakers and the stashu pre show out of the cue... this is hilarious!
	5:41pm love2laf: ↳ listener monica @5:39 Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. The many different people who helped us allowed me to hang on by a thread through their compassion and energy.
	5:41pm Destroit: ↳ listener monica @5:39 That has to be strange. I’m looking at buying a house and was just in one where it was pretty obvious a “sudden sale” had to happen. Still sheets on bed, pictures on wall, dishes there…creeped me out
	5:41pm Robm: ↳ listener monica @5:39 i would not want to do that kind of job ever
	5:42pm gone with the wind: ↳ chris in the redwoods @5:27 That is a good note!
	5:44pm Alexandra: That’s awesome that you can donate and recycle everything monica.
	5:45pm Andres: ❤️❤️❤️
	5:45pm MTA Luke: ↳ PerroCaliente @5:29 frrrr
	5:46pm Alexandra: Hi Andres 💜
	5:46pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Let Loving Start was in my head yesterday. What a great song.
	5:46pm Mona: ↳ listener monica @5:39 that is such a tough job for an empath - but also what a beautiful thing to be able to help people when they feel so lost. <3 <3
	5:47pm Picante Mint: I'm sorry to hear about your situation Mona. Thank you for sharing and for yet another fantastic. Take care.
	5:47pm Matthew_London: SUPERTUNES <3
	🥀 5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: My dear mother likes to write letters. I feel bad about throwing them out, but it's not like they contain poetry or tales of historical interest. Just news like how the weather has been and going into town for groceries. I suppose I could scan them into a computer, but to what end?
	5:48pm nick: Thanks Mona, usually I’m forced to wear headphones with WFMU , but with this song on my wife started massaging my calves!
	5:48pm northguineahills: ↳ listener monica @5:39 that's amazing! on the other side of the coin, my brothers paid for two giant long dumpsters. I still wonder if one of the reasons I was frozen out, is that, I would price all of the curios my mother acquired in Japan, thus making the operation longer.
	5:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:47 just do it. for future anthropologists sake if nothing else. I like the idea that data as such exists..
	5:49pm Alexandra: Haha nick love that for u
	5:49pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "Let Loving Start (12" Version)" by "Thompson Twins" Damn, i've not heard this for decades. I quite liked it when it came out, probably would have hated it 20 years ago. Now it sounds good again... some of those 80s productions sound quite unearthly through the haze of the years (rather than tacky, cheap, synthetic, like they did for decades after they were popular). Interesting. I'm enjoying nostalgia Mona, great work!
	5:49pm love2laf: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:47 Just take a picture with your phone, then if ever you really feel a need, it's there.
	5:51pm gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "Let Loving Start (12" Version)" by "Thompson Twins" massage inducing :)
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ gone with the wind @5:51 after that run of comments, you now owe me some tea! 🤪
	5:53pm Destroit: Peak impromptu massage inducing song right tharrrr
	5:53pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @5:49 I actually think the Thompson Twins are underrated as songwriters -- just because they're an 80s synth band doesn't mean that Bailey and Currie don't write killer tunes. Enjoying the nostalgia also.
	5:53pm JohnEBGood: Thanks for the classics. Have a great weekend Mona and WFMU family : )
	5:54pm goes211: Thanks for another fantabulous Friday show, Mona!
	5:54pm Midge: Thank you Mona and hugs to you and everyone else in the chat who needs it.
	5:54pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "My Heart...So Blue" by "Erasure" ...and now I'm feeling with this song that our journey is over and I am bummed. Great, great setlist today, Mona. Inspired, and again my best wishes to you and the family during this time.
	5:54pm love2laf: Thank you Mona, you are amazing to do this show, from your Mom's place live, and in the midst of all that you are doing. I hope you have lots of fun with Billy Jam. Be kind to yourself, and take a moment for yourself, at least twice a day. Thank you Monaiacs, it's been a very lovely Friday chatting with you all, and that's what I appreciates about you.
	5:54pm Mona: thanks for everything today - y'all really warmed my heart <3 <3 <3
	5:55pm gone with the wind: ↳ northguineahills @5:52 deal!
	5:55pm northguineahills: thanks for therapeutic tenors threading the aether, mona! can't thank you enough! Be strong!
	5:55pm listener 126464: Thank you Mona, best wishes to your dad.
	5:55pm Jesse Dorris: Thank you Mona <3
	🥀 5:56pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Mona! this last set killed me, but we still love you. hahaha! take care, everyone!
	5:56pm Destroit: Thanks Mona, thanks commenters!! Love ya’ll 🙂🙂
	🥀 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona. Good luck with the tasks at hand. Be careful if you run into the Washoe County Sheriff's Department. I heard Lt. Dangle and the crew are comically inept.
	5:57pm SheWolf: Such a great set & compassionate, supportive chat section. Even managed to soften a smidge of my 🖤.
	5:57pm joe mulligan: so many emotions today Mona, thanks and best of luck.
	5:57pm DanFA: Thank you, Mona. Good luck with the move.
	5:57pm gone with the wind: ↳ love2laf @5:54 hear hear
	5:57pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: That set made me cry
	5:57pm BVP: im at my prom right now, thanks again MONA! ;)
	5:57pm Robm: well said L2L
	5:58pm xindeed: Great set of music! Thank you!!
	5:58pm Andres: Thank you, Mona! Always a wonderful show. Under the circumstances this one is extraordinary. All the best to you and everyone sharing on the comments board.
	5:58pm Marie in Queens: Thanks so much, Mona! My mom had AZ but it never got real bad as she died first (sigh) of a heart attack. It is very hard. I wish you and him and your whole family the very best.
	5:59pm MoonAboveSun: I'm sorry to hear about your father Mona, cry when you need to, laugh when you need to as well. Great live living room show! Wonderful way to start the weekend with. Take Mona and Mona's family. Bye every one
	6:00pm Dano59: so many favorites in that set, from Joey to These Eyes to Life Line to Hold Me Now ... you hold my heart, Mona
	6:00pm Mona: lol my mom was like too many sad songs, play something happy
	🥀 6:00pm chris in the redwoods: the Iz! <3
	6:00pm gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by "Israel Kamakawiwo... All time Fave of mine <3
	6:00pm DanFA: Mona's Mom rocks
	6:00pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @6:00 Haha awesome
	6:00pm love2laf: ↳ Mona @6:00 Oh so on point, I'm going to laugh for a year on that mom comment.
	6:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by "Israel Kamakawiwo... well, now I have to bawl, now 😭
	6:01pm Dano59: ... but this is ultimately a sad, very dark song
	6:01pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by "Israel Kamakawiwo... Mona’s mom knows how to pick the gems as well. :)
	6:01pm DanFA: Time for polka now.

	3:08pm JeremyB: Handy... my D&D group was one dice roll away from TPK last night... nerd version of excitement... it's been a dull week.
	3:11pm Mona: bonjour friends, happy friday! today is gonna be heavy on the nostalgia and sounds of the west as i pack up my childhood home. thanks so much for joining me! <3
	3:12pm JeremyB: ↳ Mona @3:11 Lots of hugs... Hope you are doing well soon!
	🥀 3:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ JeremyB @3:08 Ha, that's extremely exciting! We basically had a TPK two weeks ago, but it was all undone by a wish, which is VERY not my usual style, but it all kind of came together. A love triangle was to blame, as is often the case, and the maggot-worshiping NPC cleric was able to eliminate his romantic rival, a djinn, by using the wish to get everyone back. They'll miss Awesome Tim the Badass Djinn, but Malerian is much more secure now, and everyone's alive. Of course, now that they are unstuck in Time and Death, certain forces are hoping to recruit them ... Working on that adventure right now as a matter of fact. This is proving useful: www.drivethrurpg.com...

	3:47pm TDK60: Howdy.
	3:48pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Mona @3:11 Hey Mona, I wish you the best with that. Lots of feelings I am sure. Perfect soundtrack
	3:50pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @3:46 oy. better, I'm only taking the muscle relaxants at night, and no longer popping vitamin I like candy. More annoyed by the lack of sensation in my left fingers, but that will slowly return. thanks for asking!
	3:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Bryant in TO @3:47 full disclosure, i didn't see it until 3 years ago. holy sheet, was that grim!
	3:54pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "Sensitive" by "The Field Mice" Thanks for this Mona! I bought that single immediately after hearing John Peel play it on the radio in 1989 (I was a sensitive youth) and then got into the whole Sarah Records thing. Special times. The B-side, "When Morning Comes To Town" is as much of a gem as the A-side.
	🥀 3:54pm B R M: Only bangers today I see... 🙌
	3:54pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @3:50 Glad to hear it's getting better, the numbness is no fun though. Hope it heals fully soon.

	3:56pm MTA Luke: i was regressing in hometown last week
	3:56pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @3:54 i got the interview rescheduled, thankfully to next monday. Now, i've stumbled onto some excellent study material that I hope I can dazzle the interview team...(silver lining?)
	3:58pm love2laf: ↳ northguineahills @3:56 Excellent, that sounds most fortuitus. Remember to let yourself be confident and relaxed, you have got this. Oh, and pixie!
	3:59pm Bryant in TO: ↳ northguineahills @3:51 Oh yeah. I re-watch it every once in a while and it never fails to shock me how surreal it comes off while approaching it straight, almost like a documentary.
	3:59pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Tower of Song" by "The Jesus & Mary Chain" 🔥🔥🔥
	3:59pm SheWolf: Can't hear Mona very well. Tunes are loud & clear.
	4:00pm JeremyB: ↳ SheWolf @3:59 Soudned fine here but a little bit quiet... we'll get it sorted for next mic break

	4:13pm Paul Szepesvary: ↳ 80sZuulScully @4:03 Ditto
	4:14pm Robm: ↳ Song: "This Town" by "The Go-Gos" finally a song from the go gos which is a deep cut
	4:15pm northguineahills: ↳ winston legthigh @4:02 w/ me, it might end up being literal... 😛
	4:16pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ MTA Luke @4:11 Was the same for me too :)
	4:17pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @4:15 NGH see your feeling better
	4:19pm joe mulligan: say hi to mom-n-dad Mona, they raised you right! feeling the feels with these tunes also, recognizing about half of them
	4:20pm Alexandra: So good to turn this on and hear a song I absolutely love swooooooning
	🥀 4:20pm winston legthigh: hope you don't mind but i am done working for today. will be listening and not working.
	4:21pm Robm: hey alexandra nice to see you here
	4:21pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Future Politics" by "Austra" Nice!
	4:21pm Alexandra: Hi Robm!!!!
	4:22pm Robm: @L2L just saw about your cat, hope she can get used to it over the weekend?
	4:24pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Future Politics" by "Austra" Dancing away the caffeine jitters to these last few tracks...
	4:24pm JeremyB: And it keeps going!
	4:25pm MTA Luke: fr
	4:25pm jim from wood ridge NJ: Wow song 1 side 1!
	4:25pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @4:22 She just gets totally freaked by strangers thumping around in her house. Plus all the mosquitos that get let in. Hot water heater install took 2 weeks before she stopped meercatting to see if there was a truck coming down the driveway. I keep telling her, you were a feral lost kitten in the woods, and this is what you are now? Hasn't worked yet...
	4:25pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Effigy (I'm Not An)" by "Ministry" I heard all the stories about Al Jourgenson trying to bury this old ministry stuff... but I think its the best stuff he's ever done...
	🥀 4:26pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 right!?
	4:26pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 truth!
	🥀 4:26pm Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Effigy (I'm Not An)" by "Ministry" Al J.'s deep dark secret...🤣
	4:26pm Charlie in Montclair: I'm really enjoying the sounds coming out of Mom's house!
	4:27pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @4:25 don’t blame her at all, after the install on wednesday give her some catnip
	🥀 4:28pm Gregolomania: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 Allegedly, now he wants to re-record it.
	🥀 4:28pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ joe mulligan @4:26 hey, Joe! i owe you an email! on it.
	4:28pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @4:27 Umm, not only not food motivated, complete disinterest in catnip, weirdest cat ever, and I've had weirdos. How are you faring today?
	4:28pm Destroit: Aaaannddd its Friday. Hello Mona and all the good ones.
	4:29pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @4:28 pretty good outside on the patio enjoying the fresh air before it starts to rain
	4:29pm luka: just outstanding stuff here today
	4:29pm Mona: ↳ JeremyB @4:25 jeremy i hear they're going to embrace and do a new remastered release! FREAKING OUT
	4:30pm DanFA: Hello Mona.
	4:30pm JeremyB: ↳ Gregolomania @4:28 Really!?!? That could be amazing... as long as he's screaming in a distorted mid 90s industrial fashion. keep it synthy and dancy
	4:30pm JeremyB: ↳ Mona @4:29 Fantastic!
	4:31pm John L: I usually work on Fridays, so I never get to hear the show live. What a treat. Heading out in a few to see Audrey Golden read from her new book "I Thought I Heard You Speak - Women At Factory Records" Sounds like the kind of thing WFMU people would be interested in. It's at Spike's Record Rack in Catskill NY.
	4:31pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @4:28 howdy destroit
	4:31pm Mona: ↳ Gregolomania @4:28 woops reading comprehension low - i wonder how a re-record will sound!
	4:31pm Marie in Queens: I like the pdf pairing for the The Church tune @)
	🥀 4:31pm Gregolomania: ↳ JeremyB @4:30 www.slicingupeyeballs.com...
	4:31pm JeremyB: ↳ Gregolomania @4:31 Thanks!
	4:34pm JeremyB: The "metal-arena" idea does not thrill me with confidnece... I never really got into much of their stuff after Mind is a Terrible thing to taste, a few good songs on Psalm 69... and various remixes and stuff... but just so much metal noise
	🥀 4:34pm winston legthigh: ↳ Gregolomania @4:31 never saw jourgenson smile before.
	🥀 4:35pm Gregolomania: ↳ JeremyB @4:34 Yeah...that could go either way...🤔
	4:35pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Hey Sister" by "Simian Mobile Disco" Never heard this tune before and enjoying it, thank you for playing (and what a band name).
	4:35pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Marie in Queens @4:31 er, I meant gif. I'm dealing with a pdf at work
	4:36pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Hey Sister" by "Simian Mobile Disco" this is pretty sweet
	4:36pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: 🔥 🔥 🔥
	4:36pm Destroit: ↳ Robm @4:31 Hey buddy! 🙂
	4:37pm Robm: ↳ Marie in Queens @4:35 @Marie hat four letter word YUCK
	4:39pm Robm: ↳ Robm @4:37 i meant that
	4:40pm Destroit: I like my Ministry hard, fast, tech noise addled and full on satanic.
	4:41pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @4:40 guess i am going to have to do a deep dive of minstry
	4:41pm joe mulligan: ↳ chris in the redwoods @4:28 no rush! thanks!
	4:41pm wind: Wow Mona!!!!!
	4:41pm JeremyB: ↳ Robm @4:41 Start with Twitch, or Mind is a Terrible Thing To Taste
	4:42pm Admire My Chives: ↳ Song: "Solitude (Felsmann & Tiley Reinterpretation)" by ... this is evocative of the Clockwork Orange soundtrack
	4:42pm luka: ↳ Song: "Summertime Clothes (Live)" by "Animal Collective" TUNE
	4:42pm luka: it’s 2009 again in my mind rn
	🥀 4:43pm Gregolomania: ↳ winston legthigh @4:34 Miracles do happen!
	4:43pm Robm: ↳ JeremyB @4:41 thanks jeremy, guess us glisteners look out for each other.
	4:43pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ luka @4:42 Would be going upstairs and getting the headphones for this one if I wasn't cleaning the house
	4:44pm Destroit: ↳ Robm @4:41 Guessing you’ll be a hard “nope” or it will grab you. Not much in between with them. I do have fond memories of their debut synth pop album, but liked the abrasive industrial metal stuff more.
	4:45pm Destroit: Meanwhile, Animal Collective may be the most disorienting band ever. Love it.
	4:45pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @4:44 will look for them at the local library, if not there look on spotify
	4:45pm JeremyB: ↳ Destroit @4:44 I always loved how Mind started out heavy and abrassive like that, but got trippier and dreamlike on the later tracks
	🥀 4:46pm winston legthigh: ↳ Destroit @4:40 hell yeah. saw them at rockville last year. about half way through the set it started raining. al was screaming just one fix. the band, the stage, their instruments, the audience were all dripping wet. it was surreal. then they cut the sound because of lightning and it was over. i wished it could have lasted forever.
	4:46pm ryansterlingvirtue: Hey Mona. Just checking in. Hope all is well. Show is 🔥 as always
	4:47pm Destroit: I was stone sober and had an animal collective song on while driving (forgot which one). Damn near crashed the car as i was in a full blown mental blender
	4:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:41 my freshman year roommate got me into Twitch, my sophomore roommate inroduced me to With Sympaty, and The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste floored me when it came out. haven't heard anything beyond that tho
	4:48pm zenrebel: BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE! Yes, perfect time - just lit some incense and sparked up. Happy Friday y’all.
	4:48pm Crosby in KC: Thanks Mona! I've gotta run. Have a great weekend everyone!
	4:48pm JeremyB: ↳ joe mulligan @4:47 I can't remember for sure but I think I heard mind first, then discovered twitch and with sympathy from there...
	4:49pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Song: "Solitude (Felsmann & Tiley Reinterpretation)" by ... fantastic
	4:50pm JeremyB: ↳ joe mulligan @4:47 I think I was a freshman in high school when Mind came out, so that would have been the first... didn't really listen to industrial or synth pop stuff before that... unless DEVO counts
	4:50pm xtrakrispy: ↳ Song: "Bout des doigts" by "The Brian Jonestown Massacre" Is there such a thing as a bad BJM song?
	🥀 4:51pm winston legthigh: gotta run, thanks mona!
	4:51pm JeremyB: ↳ xtrakrispy @4:50 Clay Pigeon would say hell no.
	4:52pm Destroit: ↳ xtrakrispy @4:50 Nope!
	4:53pm Marie in Queens: ↳ Song: "Summertime Clothes (Live)" by "Animal Collective" I meant to say that this was fantastic (but Solitude was too). Really liked this
	4:53pm Vanessa bikes: Happy Friday from the road in Olympia, Washington! I finally got my sister to turn off the cozy mysteries with the premise of “real music” on WFMU. XXXO
	4:53pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:48 they're all so different it's fun to see people's listening trajectory
	4:53pm Destroit: The hallmark of a great band is that they dont have “bad” songs. Maybe average songs, but not bad.
	4:53pm jeanli: sigh, BJM forever
	4:54pm JeremyB: ↳ Vanessa bikes @4:53 Hey babe! Bring me back something?
	4:54pm Chief Guy: Underrated song.
	4:54pm Destroit: ↳ Vanessa bikes @4:53 Get it vanessa haha!
	4:54pm listener monica: nice set.
	4:55pm Chief Guy: Underrated song. Puzzling band name.
	4:55pm Destroit: I’ve never heard of Love Spit Love
	4:55pm Jesse Dorris: Oh wow, totally forgot about this Love Spit Love song, so gorgeous
	4:55pm JeremyB: ↳ joe mulligan @4:53 I kinda love when a band is so different from album to album... TKK is like that for me - they go from disko to garage rock to techno to industrial of the course of their catalogue (not necessarily in that order)
	4:56pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Destroit @4:55 They do a pretty solid cover of How Soon is Now.
	4:56pm Buckaroo: This LSL album was my go-to in '95. Fantastic.
	4:56pm Destroit: Better Mona!
	🥀 4:56pm chris in the redwoods: perfect, Mona and Jeremy!
	4:56pm love2laf: Levels awesome on my end!
	🥀 4:56pm Bobby: ↳ zenrebel @4:48 Hello Mona’s mom’s house!
	4:57pm SheWolf: ↳ JeremyB @4:07 Sounds good. Thanks Mona & co.
	4:57pm DanFA: Hi Mona's Mom and Dad
	4:57pm joe mulligan: ↳ JeremyB @4:55 true dat!
	4:57pm JeremyB: ↳ SheWolf @4:57 :)!
	4:57pm Chief Guy: LSL was a Richard Butler project post Psychedelic Furs
	4:58pm Destroit: ↳ Buckaroo @4:56 That explains it. 1995 was the apex of my rave days….all non-electronic music just blew by me
	4:58pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Chief Guy @4:57 I had no idea! His voice sounds so different from his Psychadelic Furs era to me, never put the two together.
	4:58pm Destroit: ↳ Chief Guy @4:57 Oh wow! Now i’ll have to check this record out
	4:59pm UFOspecialist: Loving this show today!
	4:59pm Buckaroo: ↳ Destroit @4:58 There are a couple of 'em - all good!
	🥀 4:59pm Bobby: ↳ Bobby @4:56 Sorry was going to comment about how much I love Jonestown but got distracted by Mona’s family

	🥀 5:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Seems that next week is PTNOTR in Reno (Brooklyn, NY, this week) - www.wfmu.org...
	5:02pm gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "Solitude (Felsmann & Tiley Reinterpretation)" by ... It feels like this was the most amazing sounds I've ever heard :)
	5:02pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Crying" by "Roy Orbison" I can see where Mona get her taste in music if her folks requested this.
	5:02pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @5:00 Weed and Homeboy Sandman afterparty haha!
	5:02pm gone with the wind: ↳ DanFA @5:02 Love it!!!
	5:03pm Alexandra: I keep missing mona talking while doing stuff around the house. Is she with mom and dad??? 🥲🥲🥲
	5:04pm JeremyB: ↳ Alexandra @5:03 Yep Mr and Mrs Mona are watching her perform live!
	5:04pm Alexandra: Oh i love that so much, thank you Jeremy
	5:05pm Robm: ↳ JeremyB @5:04 tough crowd for mona

	5:07pm DanFA: ↳ listener 126464 @5:06 Is Mona moving?
	5:07pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: How come all these songs are so good Mona??? Tell your family your the best DJ in the world.
	5:07pm Fernando: Another show where it feels like Mona raided my record collection. Killer.
	🥀 5:07pm Bobby: ↳ Alexandra @5:06 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
	🥀 5:07pm D Rok: ↳ Song: "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" by "Procol Harum" Somehow this song never gets old.
	5:07pm gone with the wind: ↳ listener 126464 @5:06 smooth move ...laughed out LOU:D
	5:10pm Marie in Queens: ↳ D Rok @5:07 I agree. Martin Scorcese used it in one of his movies very well; I can't remember which one
	5:10pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" Oh my god - did I listen to this album way to much in High School
	5:10pm Robm: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" oh hell yes
	5:11pm SheWolf: ↳ D Rok @5:07 My dad wants this played at his funeral. The older he gets the sadder it makes me.
	🥀 5:11pm Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" Johnette...💓
	5:11pm Rex P: “JOEY! BABY! 19! 90!” Thanks for the breathtaking college flashback ❤️

	5:11pm SheWolf: Urgh 2 songs in a row that choke me up.
	🥀 5:12pm D Rok: ↳ SheWolf @5:11 Oof. I'm sorry.
	5:12pm Mona: ↳ DanFA @5:07 i'm not personally moving; i moved my dad to memory care last month and now have to clean out his house so we can rent it and pay for said memory care. it's the house i grew up in and also like my dad's whole life to cull through. it feels like a lot, but this has been a fun break
	5:12pm luka: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" no. 1 hit
	5:12pm JeremyB: ↳ Destroit @5:11 Yeah - so good. all of it!
	5:13pm rx scabin: Good evening, Mona and Everyone.
	5:13pm Katharsis: Mona and listeners, out her listening and paperworking. Thanks you
	5:15pm herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Joey" by "Concrete Blonde" Great set of songs; glad yr w yr family. In Greg BAD RELIGION Graffin memoir, he writes of a very early recording experience in à studio run by a nice couple. Turns out it was johnette and her man(?).
	5:15pm Alexandra: Wish you and your family soothing thoughts and times Mona 💜
	🥀 5:16pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mona @5:12 all the best to you and the family, Mona! <3
	5:16pm Mona: ↳ Mona @5:12 lol and since i'm telling my life story, my dad's house doesn't have internet so i'm at my mom's house and her and her husband and their dog are staring at me do the show, and it feels so surreal and uncomfortable and chaotic lol
	5:16pm love2laf: ↳ Mona @5:12 It is a lot, and some things I asked myself, can I take a picture of this and let it go be loved by someone else now? Helped keep me from trying to keep a physical piece of everything that had memories attached to it.
	5:17pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @5:12 Hang in there mona. I was there 4 years ago after a stroke wrecked my dad. Movin out of childhood home gave me and moms and everyone all sorts of feels. When in doubt, hug someone. Seriously.
	5:17pm JeremyB: ↳ Mona @5:16 I hear the dog is super judgey about your musical tastes... but we love it! Really good show!
	5:18pm Robm: @Mona sympathy for having to do that with your dad, it has to be rough, BTW epic set you just played
	5:18pm Destroit: My goodness Mona this truly sounds like a top 5 bizarre day in your life. Good lord haha
	5:18pm rx scabin: @Mona You can do it.
	🥀 5:18pm Bobby: We love Mona
	5:18pm JeremyB: ↳ Song: "Father and Son" by "Cat Stevens" This makes me think of Harold and Maude... that was the movie I watched too many times in the 80s and 90s
	5:19pm herb.nyc: ↳ Mona @5:16 You’ve got the right attitude about all this, Mona. My parents both recently died and we still have the house. Wondering what to do w it, and I go there regularly. - as for the dog staring at you, just give him a chew toy.
	5:19pm Destroit: ↳ JeremyB @5:18 Just watched it again 3 weeks ago!
	🥀 5:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Just to mix it up, play something the dog wants to hear.
	5:20pm DanFA: ↳ Mona @5:16 I'm sorry to hear that Mona. All the best to you and your family. The WFMU community, I know, is here for you. Is there a gofundme we can donate to for medical costs?
	5:20pm Chief Guy: God bless you Mona.
	5:21pm Alexandra: Crying big fat tears and it feels good shoutout to my fellow crybabies out there
	5:21pm JeremyB: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:20 Yeah CAT stevens probably pissed him off
	5:21pm Robm: i hate to be depressed about all this but this is something we are all going to have to deal with ourselves when we get older
	5:22pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Mona @5:12 Best wishes to you and the family, Mona.
	5:22pm Andres: Top shelf CanCon.
	5:22pm Destroit: ↳ Alexandra @5:21 With ya girl! Shed a tear typing my note about my dad
	5:23pm officina: I went through the same thing last year...very difficult. You can do it and good luck. Also, wonderful show as usual.
	5:23pm anne: i totally had this song in my head this morning
	5:23pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @5:21 If you haven't heard of it yet, look up Swedish Death Cleaning, it's a thing people do, to make it easier on loved ones when the time does come.
	5:25pm Robm: ↳ love2laf @5:23 will do L2L and thanks, sorry this whole thing about aging is getting to me
	5:25pm northguineahills: my brothers' purged my parents' house in May. I was frozen out of attending, even though all of my non-vinyl music and equipment is there (i have no idea if it's still there or not). My father will be moving w/ my mother (who's memory care is now beyond his abilities) to place that caters to their needs in the fall. seems to many of wfmuers have been going through this lately..
	5:26pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @5:25 damn NGH that is really tough, hope you can at least visit them
	5:27pm Alexandra: Hi NGH, I’m sorry 💜
	🥀 5:27pm chris in the redwoods: indeed, ngh. my bro just finished cleaning out mom's place. she was lucky enough to have 24 hr care through a network of amazingly dedicated care givers, until she passed. note to all of us: get rid of all the crap, so the kids don't need to do it! :) <3
	5:28pm Mona: ↳ DanFA @5:20 oh that's so kind but no need - that was an estate sales company calling while i was on air - we're selling everything to pay for care, and then hopefully the monthly rent will then cover the costs. we're good! just so many details my mind is spinning and my breath is short - but all y'all are amazing. fuck threads, god bless the wfmu message board and larger community supporting with good energy beyond these small screens. <3 <3
	🥀 5:28pm Bobby: ↳ northguineahills @5:25 I’m ya brother, brother
	5:28pm love2laf: ↳ Robm @5:25 It's tough to think about, the upside is, you've lived long enough to worry about it. No need to apologise, I really think people are way too weird about it. 1 in 5 people deal with dementia, whether it's themselves or a family member, we should NOT be weird about it. Talk, help, listen. @ngh oh that is hard, I have crappy family members, it's hard and it hurts.
	5:29pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @5:28 You are loved❤️❤️
	🥀 5:29pm PerroCaliente: MONAAAAAA 🥹🥹 YOURE KILLING IT
	5:30pm Robm: @L2L your the best thanks
	5:31pm DanFA: ↳ Mona @5:28 I feel you. Many years ago I had a somewhat similar family issue. If I could get through you can. Also, I think Mark Hurst would second your sentiment on Threads.
	5:31pm Destroit: The emotional riptides of this particular timeslot are staggering
	5:32pm Alexandra: Well said l2l!!!
	5:32pm Robm: ↳ Destroit @5:31 dstroit going to have to listen to the first half again
	5:32pm love2laf: ↳ Song: "Snowfall Soon" by "Piano Magic" Okay that picture is giving me all the feels, and I don't know why, but it's making me tear up.
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @5:26 I'm talking to my father again. I had to stop talking to my mother, as she's no longer able to keep the meta-structure of a conversation intact on the phone. I'll see them before I leave FL (i still intend on that being sooner rather than later).
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Snowfall Soon" by "Piano Magic" I 💖 piano magic!
	5:34pm Destroit: Yes, well said indeed l2l. And NGH, tough stuff ….fam drama sucks too. Sending you good wishes….
	5:34pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @5:33 good with your dad not too bad about your mom
	5:35pm northguineahills: ↳ love2laf @5:28 yeah, my siblings live 20 minutes away. The last i saw them was at my nieces' bday in April...(before that, xmas)
	5:35pm northguineahills: ↳ PerroCaliente @5:29 what PC said...
	5:37pm Destroit: This particular timeslot has had numerous borderline music therapy sessions (going back to Shiela). I mean this in a good way. Like real tears n stuff. Then hilariously, Stashu comes romper stompering in at 6 and i giggle again!
	5:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Alexandra @5:32 alex! casi me olivido de decir hola!
	🥀 5:38pm Bobby: Gun Club forever
	5:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:34 arigato!
	5:39pm love2laf: ↳ Destroit @5:37 Yes, that's the beauty of Friday! It gets even wilder when gentleman Joe does the fill-in for Stashu, and polkas HARD. Here we feel, and at 6 we let go and dance!
	5:39pm listener monica: I clean out houses for a living mostly donating and recycling everything. I rarely use a dumpster. It's a really hard job. This music is so melancholic, like how I feel after one of those gigs.
	5:40pm JeremyB: I have Mona in the main speakers and the stashu pre show out of the cue... this is hilarious!
	5:41pm love2laf: ↳ listener monica @5:39 Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. The many different people who helped us allowed me to hang on by a thread through their compassion and energy.
	5:41pm Destroit: ↳ listener monica @5:39 That has to be strange. I’m looking at buying a house and was just in one where it was pretty obvious a “sudden sale” had to happen. Still sheets on bed, pictures on wall, dishes there…creeped me out
	5:41pm Robm: ↳ listener monica @5:39 i would not want to do that kind of job ever
	5:42pm gone with the wind: ↳ chris in the redwoods @5:27 That is a good note!
	5:44pm Alexandra: That’s awesome that you can donate and recycle everything monica.
	5:45pm Andres: ❤️❤️❤️
	5:45pm MTA Luke: ↳ PerroCaliente @5:29 frrrr
	5:46pm Alexandra: Hi Andres 💜
	5:46pm (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Let Loving Start was in my head yesterday. What a great song.
	5:46pm Mona: ↳ listener monica @5:39 that is such a tough job for an empath - but also what a beautiful thing to be able to help people when they feel so lost. <3 <3
	5:47pm Picante Mint: I'm sorry to hear about your situation Mona. Thank you for sharing and for yet another fantastic. Take care.
	5:47pm Matthew_London: SUPERTUNES <3
	🥀 5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: My dear mother likes to write letters. I feel bad about throwing them out, but it's not like they contain poetry or tales of historical interest. Just news like how the weather has been and going into town for groceries. I suppose I could scan them into a computer, but to what end?
	5:48pm nick: Thanks Mona, usually I’m forced to wear headphones with WFMU , but with this song on my wife started massaging my calves!
	5:48pm northguineahills: ↳ listener monica @5:39 that's amazing! on the other side of the coin, my brothers paid for two giant long dumpsters. I still wonder if one of the reasons I was frozen out, is that, I would price all of the curios my mother acquired in Japan, thus making the operation longer.
	5:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:47 just do it. for future anthropologists sake if nothing else. I like the idea that data as such exists..
	5:49pm Alexandra: Haha nick love that for u
	5:49pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "Let Loving Start (12" Version)" by "Thompson Twins" Damn, i've not heard this for decades. I quite liked it when it came out, probably would have hated it 20 years ago. Now it sounds good again... some of those 80s productions sound quite unearthly through the haze of the years (rather than tacky, cheap, synthetic, like they did for decades after they were popular). Interesting. I'm enjoying nostalgia Mona, great work!
	5:49pm love2laf: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:47 Just take a picture with your phone, then if ever you really feel a need, it's there.
	5:51pm gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "Let Loving Start (12" Version)" by "Thompson Twins" massage inducing :)
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ gone with the wind @5:51 after that run of comments, you now owe me some tea! 🤪
	5:53pm Destroit: Peak impromptu massage inducing song right tharrrr
	5:53pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @5:49 I actually think the Thompson Twins are underrated as songwriters -- just because they're an 80s synth band doesn't mean that Bailey and Currie don't write killer tunes. Enjoying the nostalgia also.
	5:53pm JohnEBGood: Thanks for the classics. Have a great weekend Mona and WFMU family : )
	5:54pm goes211: Thanks for another fantabulous Friday show, Mona!
	5:54pm Midge: Thank you Mona and hugs to you and everyone else in the chat who needs it.
	5:54pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "My Heart...So Blue" by "Erasure" ...and now I'm feeling with this song that our journey is over and I am bummed. Great, great setlist today, Mona. Inspired, and again my best wishes to you and the family during this time.
	5:54pm love2laf: Thank you Mona, you are amazing to do this show, from your Mom's place live, and in the midst of all that you are doing. I hope you have lots of fun with Billy Jam. Be kind to yourself, and take a moment for yourself, at least twice a day. Thank you Monaiacs, it's been a very lovely Friday chatting with you all, and that's what I appreciates about you.
	5:54pm Mona: thanks for everything today - y'all really warmed my heart <3 <3 <3
	5:55pm gone with the wind: ↳ northguineahills @5:52 deal!
	5:55pm northguineahills: thanks for therapeutic tenors threading the aether, mona! can't thank you enough! Be strong!
	5:55pm listener 126464: Thank you Mona, best wishes to your dad.
	5:55pm Jesse Dorris: Thank you Mona <3
	🥀 5:56pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Mona! this last set killed me, but we still love you. hahaha! take care, everyone!
	5:56pm Destroit: Thanks Mona, thanks commenters!! Love ya’ll 🙂🙂
	🥀 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona. Good luck with the tasks at hand. Be careful if you run into the Washoe County Sheriff's Department. I heard Lt. Dangle and the crew are comically inept.
	5:57pm SheWolf: Such a great set & compassionate, supportive chat section. Even managed to soften a smidge of my 🖤.
	5:57pm joe mulligan: so many emotions today Mona, thanks and best of luck.
	5:57pm DanFA: Thank you, Mona. Good luck with the move.
	5:57pm gone with the wind: ↳ love2laf @5:54 hear hear
	5:57pm honest Bernardo from Argentina: That set made me cry
	5:57pm BVP: im at my prom right now, thanks again MONA! ;)
	5:57pm Robm: well said L2L
	5:58pm xindeed: Great set of music! Thank you!!
	5:58pm Andres: Thank you, Mona! Always a wonderful show. Under the circumstances this one is extraordinary. All the best to you and everyone sharing on the comments board.
	5:58pm Marie in Queens: Thanks so much, Mona! My mom had AZ but it never got real bad as she died first (sigh) of a heart attack. It is very hard. I wish you and him and your whole family the very best.
	5:59pm MoonAboveSun: I'm sorry to hear about your father Mona, cry when you need to, laugh when you need to as well. Great live living room show! Wonderful way to start the weekend with. Take Mona and Mona's family. Bye every one
	6:00pm Dano59: so many favorites in that set, from Joey to These Eyes to Life Line to Hold Me Now ... you hold my heart, Mona
	6:00pm Mona: lol my mom was like too many sad songs, play something happy
	🥀 6:00pm chris in the redwoods: the Iz! <3
	6:00pm gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by "Israel Kamakawiwo... All time Fave of mine <3
	6:00pm DanFA: Mona's Mom rocks
	6:00pm Destroit: ↳ Mona @6:00 Haha awesome
	6:00pm love2laf: ↳ Mona @6:00 Oh so on point, I'm going to laugh for a year on that mom comment.
	6:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by "Israel Kamakawiwo... well, now I have to bawl, now 😭
	6:01pm Dano59: ... but this is ultimately a sad, very dark song
	6:01pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by "Israel Kamakawiwo... Mona’s mom knows how to pick the gems as well. :)
	6:01pm DanFA: Time for polka now.
