	8:01pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Unbreakable Silence" by "Ben Frost/Daníel Bjarnason" new Ben Frost album out this spring
	8:03pm Erik VT: - At one point awhile ago,”The Mirror” was my favorite film. The Tarkovsky audio ambience & soundtracks are so integral and distinctive to the aesthetics of his films.
	8:03pm Androu B.: Ahoy, Devon & Islanders!
	8:05pm Scott_Oz: G'day Devon & Audio Islanders! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🏝️
	8:08pm DjLorraine: Island bound, Island found
	8:08pm Erik VT: Haslinger has a few tasty non-soundtrack albums as well !
	8:08pm HyperDose: ↳ Androu B. @8:03 Mi gente!
	8:08pm Androu B.: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:05 G'day, Scottso! 😎👊🍺🌏🎶🎧🎶
	8:10pm chresti: Hi Devon and islanders!
	8:11pm HyperDose: The music for Dark and What Remains was top tier
	8:11pm DanFA: Oh, Melbourne-raised. Hi Scott.
	8:11pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Androu B. @8:08 G'day Androu! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:13pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DanFA @8:11 G'day Dan! I'm Bendigo raised, just 150km down the road from Melbourne mate. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:14pm DanFA: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:13 Got it. Gotta support your fellow countrymen.
	8:15pm DanFA: The first season of Fortitude is excellent.
	8:15pm P-90: at least that animal got treated for those third degree burns
	8:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 恭喜發財 Gung Hei Fat Choi ! Happy Year of the Wood 🐉Dragon !
	8:17pm ultradamno: Apropos of not much, Mute announced they have a new Mick Harvey album coming in May
	8:18pm Androu B.: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:11 Say, what's that third emoticon you keep posting in your greets supposed to be? It doesn't show up on the chatboard (at my end, at least).
	8:19pm Erik VT: Both Unfortunately and I suppose appropriately(?) films like “Sleeping Beauty” are no longer getting the distribution they once had, due to the changing awareness of old social norms.
	8:19pm ultradamno: ↳ Androu B. @8:18 It's like a hang ten thing, hand with thumb and pinkie out.
	8:20pm Androu B.: ↳ ultradamno @8:19 Ah, gotcha, mate!
	8:20pm Erik VT: Ooops “norms” = more like ‘old social transgressions’.
	8:22pm ultradamno: Well, transgressive but I don't the point of it is sexist or regressive
	8:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Wake Up!" by "Ben Frost" once upon a time, ben frost stayed on my couch for a weekend, and he left me a bunch of cdrs, many of recordings that have yet to be released...
	8:26pm Erik VT: at a local college, there seems to be a trend to be much more careful with programming, as not to upset or offend too many folks. It’s kind of bumming me out.
	8:27pm Chris Hiatt: Good evening, here for the last half.
	8:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Erik VT @8:26 at wfmu, we obviously don't have that problem.... (i'm so offended that we don't)
	8:27pm ultradamno: ↳ Androu B. @8:20 Apparently, it's the 'call me' emoji
	8:28pm ultradamno: ↳ Erik VT @8:26 Have you seen the Brooke Shields documentary? There's an interesting bit where she's talking about Pretty Baby with her daughters...
	8:29pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @8:17 Gotta see if Mona got her hands on an early copy.
	8:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Wake Up!" by "Ben Frost" Very effective Musics ! ...I always blither about Soundtrack Musics having interesting & original palettes - but I do really like the way he's using elements here. It's identifiable as Genre Soundtrack maybe - but seems a creative approach - with not too dense instrumentation yet expressive... I suppose I love Gittars & things too...
	8:32pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Androu B. @8:18 Hang loose mate.
	8:37pm Scott_Oz: ↳ ultradamno @8:27 Or more accurately; “Hang loose,” “Right on,” “Thank you,” “Things are great,” “Take it easy” – in Hawaii, the shaka sign expresses all those friendly messages and more.
	8:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...maybe saying it's 'vertical' is close to saying it's creating textures / atmospheres over 'tunes'...
	8:37pm Erik VT: @ultraD: indeed! - when it finally got a broadcast on ABC(?) network - made sure to DVR it. (After hearing Shields fascinating fresh air w/Terry Gross interview). It was really quite fascinating to watch/hear her POV from hindsight. And yes that ending is quite resonant with so many right now! What I found so particularly perverse abt the docu … turns out the tv ads for the Calvin Klein jeans we ALL had access to where by Far the most exploitive to revisit of all the “provocative” materials. (Pretty Baby 1978 film, is quite the experience to revisit now!)
	8:37pm HyperDose: ↳ northguineahills @8:27 You going to volunteer tomorrow? First time?
	8:38pm ultradamno: ↳ DanFA @8:29 The pre-order mickharvey1.bandcamp.com...
	8:39pm ultradamno: ↳ Erik VT @8:37 Some of CK ads are crazy, it's true.
	8:40pm Erik VT: Definitely have a listen to the latest “fresh air” interview with Molly Ringwald from 2/12/24(?). It’s right along the same parameters as the Brooke Shields vibes. They are both so informed and open minded about all the “complications”.
	8:41pm DanFA: ↳ Erik VT @8:40 I'm gonna listen to it tomorrow.
	8:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sabbath's first Album reportedly out today 54 Years ago. A sort of Birthday of Metal...
	8:42pm DanFA: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:42 Hell yeah!
	8:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This Program so often fascinating for hearing Artists speak of Process.
	8:43pm DanFA: ↳ Erik VT @8:40 Mark Ruffalo was on Fresh Air also today talking about Poor Things.
	8:44pm ultradamno: ↳ Erik VT @8:40 I remember when Bill Maher basically used his show to lecture her that she was an asshole for rethinking what's in those John Hughes movies...it was one of the moments that lead up to me not watching him anymore (that stupid Mao was the last straw)
	8:44pm ultradamno: ↳ DanFA @8:43 Furious jumping!
	8:45pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @8:44 Bill Maher sucks in general.
	8:46pm Erik VT: Love Mark Ruff and that interview was alotta fun 🤩- seems like the kinda guy you’d want at yer dinner party. btw - don’t miss Poor Things in a theatre !🎭
	8:46pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @8:44 Give. Him. The. Oscar.
	8:47pm ultradamno: ↳ DanFA @8:45 Yeah, and he always did, but that's when it finally got to a there's nothing to be gained in his programs that merits suffering him point for me.
	8:48pm DanFA: ↳ Erik VT @8:46 I saw it two weeks ago at my multiplex. So great seeing movie stars (Stone and Ruffalo) embrace playing strange characters that might be unflattering to their public image.
	8:48pm Erik VT: @danFA: indeed !
	8:49pm northguineahills: ↳ HyperDose @8:37 nah, i got to do laundry tomorrow, haven't been able to afford to do so until i get paid tomorrow.
	8:49pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 He's just gotten to being a total curmudgeon and anything that might remotely challenge his worldview or percieved notion is dumb, according to him
	8:52pm ultradamno: I guess some people are taking exception with the scene where the father takes the boys to the brothel...there is an example of something that was once a trope is now a provocation
	8:53pm DanFA: ↳ northguineahills @8:49 "Just got paid today Got me a pocket full of change Said, I just got paid today Got me a pocket full of change If you believe like working hard all day Just step in my shoes and take my pay" - William Gibbons, Texas Poet Laureate.
	8:54pm Erik VT: I haven’t rewatched Last Tango in Paris from start to finish in a long long while - yet did see the last half of it - last month. Yikes , it’s indeed tough sledding at this point. I had really forgotten how artsy and non-linear it plays. It’s way more a dysfunctional macho-fest than I recalled. Time really does evolve & change perspectives. We are a long way from the early 1970s !
	8:56pm HyperDose: ↳ northguineahills @8:49 An early congrats on the paycheck!
	8:56pm northguineahills: i have 40 cents left in my account. hoping my brother can loan me $3 so i can take the train to work tomorrow. I should be paid at 9am, so... just have to wait until then...(first paycheck went to the apt).
	8:56pm ultradamno: Last Tango has the additional baggage of knowing Maria wasn't alerted to the butter scene coming...whatever one think of intimacy coaches, it makes those kind of stunts less likely
	8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: been digging and chat about sheilds and ringwald and the they are smart self aware women
	8:57pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Devon & Ben! 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	8:58pm northguineahills: thanks ben & devon! that was awesome!
	8:59pm ultradamno: Reminds me of this thing I just read about John Cleese and Eric Idle's spat....I am more team Idle than I knew www.avclub.com...
	8:59pm Androu B.: Thanks Devon & Ben Frost! Excellent & interesting interview !
	9:00pm Devon E. Levins: pipa master Min Xiao-Fen joins MI next week
	9:00pm HyperDose: Yeah this was terrific
	9:00pm Devon E. Levins: Thanks as always for tuning in, ALL!
	9:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ DEL ~
	9:00pm steveo: thank you!
	9:00pm Erik VT: Indeed … listen to that fresh air w/ Both shields & ringwald !
	9:04pm Erik VT: Apparently, Ringwald translated Maria S’s cousins memoir on the Bertolucci surprise incident ! - intense ! Changed her career and wellbeing. She as great in the film The Passenger (1975) with Jack Nicholson.
	9:12pm chresti: Thanks!
