	♥ 3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! I dunno !
	♥ 3:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Scott Williams @2:24 I dropped the question on David Dichelle's playlist -- his show just ended, but he might know. Big Steeleyer!
	♥ 3:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:04 Good Socratic introduction - greetings, and the only thing I know, is that I don't know! Hullo and self-examining to you as well!

	♥ 3:09pm JG: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:07 I hope we get some ABB here.
	🧩 ♥ 3:10pm The Butterman: Scott, friends… hello.
	3:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Holy whee, haven't spun this Area LP in a dog's age...
	3:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also . hello .

	♥ 3:15pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Gerontocrazia" by "Area" I hope Space Ghost and Zorak can get along. Very Sonny Sharrock
	3:16pm censored space: My new Mustang just showed up w 11s on it. Hmmm
	3:16pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Gerontocrazia" by "Area" Somehow the drummer is keeping up.
	♥ 3:16pm Scott Williams: Welcome pals! I sure hope someone figures out that track, I spent about 2/3 my prep time chasing it down!
	3:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ censored space @3:16 Is that the Nigel Tufnel special edition?
	♥ 3:18pm Bas NL: Hello Scott! Hello all here!
	3:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Alas, I only remember that THERE WAS a track that sampled that Steeleye piece. Very helpful.
	♥ 3:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Scott Williams @3:16 Hey Scott, since you're a fan of Todd, and a real tech wiz (a true star) in the studio, have you ever thought about recording an update to Todd's "Intro"/Sounds of the Studio track? You'd have the most credibility of anyone in radio to make a new version of that!
	♥ 3:20pm Scott Williams: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:19 Only got as far as maybe opening a radio show with it once
	♥ 3:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Scott Williams @3:20 Still, cool idea to consider! (Maybe add some newer digital malfunctions into the mix.)
	3:23pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and intelligentsians. Sad to hear about one of my guitar idols passing, will have to play Dokaka's version of Ramblin' Man in tribute.
	♥ 3:24pm chresti: ↳ Scott Williams @3:16 I hate it when that happens!
	3:25pm Carmichael: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:19 "ya better get your headphones on and cranked up ..."
	♥ 3:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Scott and Brothers & Sisters!
	♥ 3:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Carmichael @3:25 ☺️ Hey Carm! I love the whole of Something/Anything? anyhow - a double album that's always a good use of one's listening time.
	♥ 3:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Scott Williams @3:16 Dave Dichelle says, "I guess I just know the original, but I'd love to hear the sample myself :)" So no help there, but I'll report back to him if we solve the mystery.
	♥ 3:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:26 Brother Ken HP! To all our Brothers & Sisters, in the ABB and out, living and passed...
	♥ 3:27pm steveo: chat gpt says ""False Knight on the Road" by English folk band Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick."
	♥ 3:28pm steveo: ↳ steveo @3:27 i think it's full of shit, though
	♥ 3:30pm Scott Williams: ↳ steveo @3:28 oh it's full o'shit alright
	3:31pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Hey Scott, Scottish folk.
	3:31pm Carmichael: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:27 The more you know about audio engineering and production, the more amazing that LP becomes.
	🧩 ♥ 3:31pm Ike: ↳ steveo @3:28 The Regurgitation Machine does it again! And by "it", I mean spew rubbish.
	♥ 3:32pm Matt from Springfield: Multo bene! Loving this introduzzione con Italia today!

	♥ 3:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Revival" by "Allman Brothers Band" 🕯️ Allman Brothers, always a refreshing sound.
	♥ 3:39pm ∫ydniuß: was hoping for in memory of Elizabeth Reed, but this’ll do 🎸
	3:39pm morphe': ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:36 The Unicorn is [true] the National Animal of Scotland ... long story ..
	3:40pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Hey, Matt. I just affect a little brogue when I talk out loud to myself during these three hours.
	3:41pm Gary: R.I.P. Dickey Betts
	♥ 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ morphe' @3:39 Indeed. The Lion and The Unicorn, fighting for the crown... I'll have to look into the whole story sometime.
	♥ 3:41pm Scott Williams: ↳ ∫ydniuß @3:39 I'm sure it won't be hard to find ER elsewhere
	♥ 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @3:40 Appropriate, for being Scott-adjacent.
	♥ 3:42pm evancuts: I thought my dial accidentally veered over to WFUV. Then I remembered who died. Thanks for playing some AB!!!
	♥ 3:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @3:40 Aye.
	♥ 3:43pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: a song Yo yo yo Mr Scott!!!
	3:44pm censored space: He’s Gone
	3:44pm Carmichael: Blue Sky is prolly my favorite Dickey solo.
	♥ 3:44pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: re: Dickie Betts. Yeah man. He was the guy that laid out beneath Duane or doubled and harmonized his solos. He was an MVP in that band.
	♥ 3:45pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: That is pretty hip that someone sampled that Steeleye Span tune.
	♥ 3:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gerontocrazia" by "Area" Gerontocrazia = "you old crazy" That's even better! I'ma gonna yuse the Eye-talyin verzhin, now.
	♥ 3:50pm dale: afternoon. my ear holes were blessed whilst i threw a pot of soup together. i even cried. might have been cutting the onions.
	3:52pm censored space: Would “guitarmony” be an apt description for the Allmans or Thin Lizzy or both?
	♥ 3:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @3:50 Scott W and fresh soup! A good afternoon for sure!
	♥ 3:53pm dave miss: ↳ Scott Williams @3:41 Hey Scott! I ordered some more skeleton crest shirts. (Mine got worn too much). Would you like another one?

	♥ 3:59pm tom tom the pipers son: hello scott and people...
	3:59pm Sam Hyde: Times flies
	♥ 4:10pm fred: Hello Scott and listeners
	♥ 4:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:10 i broke down and got a surveillance unit...arriving today...
	4:14pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): All the Nilssons!
	♥ 4:15pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Open Your Window" by "Harry Nilsson" One of my favorite thing about Nilsson is that he's one of pop's great lyricists, yet all of his songs are like 15% nonsense syllables.
	♥ 4:15pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:12 I expect to have to when I have to renew my ID card...
	♥ 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ The Oscar @4:15 Interesting. A great distinctive Singer - who happened to have Smarts like that too...
	4:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: just back from lunch; was th'SPAN mystery solved?
	♥ 4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:16 - &/or Things to Say...

	♥ 4:18pm Scott Williams: ↳ dave miss @3:53 Thanks Dave! Wore mine this week, still in tip top shape!
	♥ 4:18pm Scott Williams: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @4:17 Nope, alas
	♥ 4:19pm Scott Williams: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:17 winky winky Jeffrey
	♥ 4:19pm fred: @Scott: I saw Glorias Navales yesterday, great show. I mention that because you're responsible for 75% of the plays they got on the station (meaning 3)
	♥ 4:22pm alanSixº: hello folks
	♥ 4:25pm Scott Williams: ↳ alanSixº @4:22 Yo Alan!
	♥ 4:26pm Scott Williams: ↳ fred @4:19 clearly I love them and am envious, Fred!
	4:28pm Sam Hyde: Is it 1984 time? Gicky gackers.
	4:28pm Sam Hyde: Heya Alan!
	♥ 4:29pm alanSixº: ↳ Sam Hyde @4:28 hello sam and all - just freezin ova here in the clair and using my tico as a heat engine
	♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Euphoria" by "Neu!" Alt ist immer Neu! !
	♥ 4:32pm The Oscar: I love this bed music because it reminds me of "Multiple SIDosis."
	♥ 4:33pm fred: ↳ Scott Williams @4:26 The drummer had a VU T-shirt, so they clearly claim that influence (I had actually seen them before and forgot, I only remembered when seeing them on stage)
	♥ 4:37pm Matt from Springfield: Counter-scupping techniques clearly need to be developed!!
	♥ 4:38pm Matt from Springfield: Haven't seen it yet, but I've heard of "Chopping Mall" - a cult classic.
	♥ 4:38pm The Oscar: There's never a bad time to watch Chopping Mall. (And the Paul is Bartel-- he and Woronov reprise their roles from Eating Raoul!)
	♥ 4:38pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Damn it I missed the Neu! But it's nice to be out of the cold and back at my desk.
	♥ 4:39pm Matt from Springfield: 1970 Chartsweeps!!
	♥ 4:39pm ∫ydniuß: 72!
	4:39pm x: 71
	♥ 4:39pm Devin B.: '72 for no good reason
	♥ 4:39pm common: 70
	♥ 4:39pm efd: I was sure that someone I went to school with was involved with Chopping Mall (from 1986, btw), but a scan of credits on IMDB did not reveal any recognizable names.
	♥ 4:39pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): 70
	♥ 4:39pm chresti: 70
	🧩 ♥ 4:39pm The Butterman: Damn! Played chartsweep part one -53+ for my student earlier this week. Fun!
	♥ 4:40pm fred: 1971, that should be cringeworthy
	4:40pm Rich from Wading River: 71
	♥ 4:40pm Alvy Singer: 1972. That is when the first NEU album was released.
	4:40pm the palace at 4am: 1970, my birth year
	♥ 4:41pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ the palace at 4am @4:40 me too!
	♥ 4:41pm ∫ydniuß: 👻
	4:41pm Sam Hyde: I have Chuck Negron’s phone number
	♥ 4:41pm Acid Cazh: Shades of TMBG's "Fingertips"
	♥ 4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ fred @4:40 Ha, and THAT's why you want it! 😉 That's why I didn't choose '71, the albums were the best, but the singles/Top 40 were more cringeworthy than '72, and I like '70 Top 40 the best of those choices.
	♥ 4:42pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" I can never hear that Osmonds lick without thinking of "You Can't Judge a Book by its Hair" by the Credibility Gap.
	♥ 4:42pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" Heavy flashbacks to First Grade here!
	♥ 4:43pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:41 i hear the wind blow
	4:43pm wenzo: What kind of broom was used to sweep up these hits… regular household broom, push broom, dry mop?
	♥ 4:43pm chresti: I was 14 in 71
	♥ 4:43pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, Carole King, Temps, Stones, some good choices in here.
	🧩 ♥ 4:43pm Ike: ↳ wenzo @4:43 These are so sharply and pointedly cringe that an industrial vacuum was required.
	♥ 4:43pm bleubombersune: Chanson sur ma drole de vie Veronique Sanson 1972
	4:44pm tedd prudhomme: Scott...please stop playing this.
	♥ 4:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:43 And "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"! Surprising amount of good '71 album material made it to the Top 40.
	4:44pm wenzo: Lol
	♥ 4:44pm ∫ydniuß: AMOS
	♥ 4:44pm fred: I once collaborated with former WFMU DJ Nat Roe on software that would make a chartsweep-like mix out of a playlist. I think it was posted on Beware of the Blog, the apps probably don't work anymore, but the source code might still be there
	♥ 4:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ bleubombersune @4:43 The original French song "Amoureuse"? That's all I really know from her. But I love that, and Olivia's cover.
	4:45pm tedd prudhomme: please.
	♥ 4:45pm Scott Williams: ↳ efd @4:39 I got everything wrong about Chopping Mall, hahahaaa! 86, Paul Bartel
	4:46pm Sam Hyde: I died in 1973. The year the Exorcist came out
	4:46pm Carmichael: ↳ chresti @4:43 Me too! But I think you already know that ...
	4:46pm tedd prudhomme: I beg you.
	♥ 4:46pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): From Jesus Christ Superstar to Superstar was kind of felicitous.
	♥ 4:46pm bleubombersune: Where's the prog?
	♥ 4:47pm ∫ydniuß: so many gypsies tramps and thieves
	4:47pm Sam Hyde: So I remember some of these tunes
	♥ 4:47pm efd: ↳ tedd prudhomme @4:46 I think your time would have been better spent just turning the volume down for 5 minutes or so.
	4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ Scott Williams @4:45 To be fair, thanks to the horror pun title i totally would have guessed 1983.
	♥ 4:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Burning For You" by "9th Ward Marching Band" And, a great palate cleanser immediately follows! 🙂
	4:48pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Burning For You" by "9th Ward Marching Band" I'm from the Nine I don't mind dyin'
	4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Despite the chartsweep I still maintain that 1971 was the pinnacle of everything.
	♥ 4:48pm fred: I think Temptation Eyes was in there (the only one I recognized, and only because of the Blake Babies cover)
	♥ 4:49pm bleubombersune: So glad I didn't waste a wooden nickel on this music back in the day
	♥ 4:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ fred @4:48 Ah yes, I think I heard the intro to the Grass Roots "Temptation Eyes" in there as well. It was a '71 release.
	🧩 ♥ 4:50pm Ike: Chopping Mall was screen-tested under the title “Killbots” and did poorly, so they wisely changed it to Chopping Mall. It did OK in theaters but found much more success on VHS, obviously.
	4:50pm Monica: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" 1971 Chartsweep! Totally forgot about these (there were other years, yes?). Completely verifies that year, that era as doing THEE MOST!!! Thx for bringin it back, Scott! Who did those anyway?
	♥ 4:50pm fred: ↳ Song: "Itkyokume" by "Nissenenmondai" I haven't seen them in ages! And I miss them very much
	♥ 4:52pm Scott Williams: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @4:47 RTD, see, you get me
	♥ 4:53pm ∫ydniuß: Despite? If you needed woodworking done, there were Carpenters everywhere!
	♥ 4:54pm Scott Williams: ↳ Monica @4:50 Hiya Mo! I slung em together back in 06 when I had too much couch time
	4:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ efd @4:39 similarly: during my year at a military school in PA (1980), supposedly our school was scouted for locations for the film TAPS - they ended up shooting at Valley Forge near philly; but ah, what could have been...
	🧩 ♥ 4:55pm The Butterman: ↳ the palace at 4am @4:40 Ooooooo Giacometti, one of my top fav artists! Nice.
	4:55pm Monica: ↳ Scott Williams @4:54 Effin' awesome. Scott!
	♥ 4:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" Yes. This. Whatever "This" may be.
	♥ 4:57pm fred: The first time I saw Nissenenmondai, friends were opening (a noise band). They were blocked by snow, so my friends had to play for 40 minutes while they usually topped at 20 at most. Nissenenmondai finally got in, did a 15 minute setup/sound check, then delivered a mind-blowing show. I've been a fan ever since (Fan is a great "single" by the way)
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" ...No.
	♥ 4:58pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" that was fantastic
	♥ 4:59pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" Yes
	♥ 5:03pm Todd76Pct: Hey Scott and all, I wonder if the track that samples Steeleye Span's "All Things Are Quite Silent" is by the archivist/ musician Andrew King? Don't have time to search for it rn...
	♥ 5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Wild Love" by "Nōh Mercy" doors eff thuh whirled
	5:04pm jg: DOORS!
	♥ 5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..cause - I'm a DOORSFAN...
	♥ 5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:05 ...& they are born, not made...
	♥ 5:06pm Alvy Singer: Show is sounding great Scott!
	5:09pm nadidadi: killing it
	♥ 5:09pm Jason from Houston: Just when that solo starts to get uncomfortable. Perfect.
	♥ 5:11pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Tinindo Trincado" by "Novos Baianos" Certified banger.
	5:13pm mood4luv: Hello, everyone! Ready to chat and roll!
	🧩 ♥ 5:15pm chris in the redwoods: long live Scott! long live free form! <3
	♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Colours (remodel)" by "No Man" Nice! Like a soft breakbeat version of Donovan's '69 version.
	5:19pm jg: DONAVAN!
	5:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:18 and 1990, hadn't heard this!
	♥ 5:20pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Colours (remodel)" by "No Man" Is it just me or is this a rather sinister take?
	♥ 5:20pm newton: ↳ chresti @5:20 not just you
	♥ 5:21pm newton: ↳ chresti @5:20 felt like dissociating, trying to hold on to a memory and trying to reassure oneself
	♥ 5:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ chresti @5:20 Everyone will have their own subjective feel about something, but I think this has parallels with Danielle Dax's contemporary version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" - neither sinister nor affirming - just a trancey reimagining (remodeling!) for the era.
	5:22pm Sam Hyde (he/him): Oh yeah
	5:24pm mood4luv: Sounds like this song is taking us on a journey through different interpretations and eras!
	♥ 5:24pm chresti: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:21 That's a nice version! I welcome all sinister versions of happy songs especially!
	🧩 ♥ 5:24pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Anonymous Club" by "Courtney Barnett" Makes me think of this Simpsons moment: static.wikia.nocookie.net...
	🧩 ♥ 5:25pm chris in the redwoods: i wanna marry this set (don’t tell mrs. citr)
	♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Colours (remodel)" by "No Man" Donovan eff thuh whirled
	♥ 5:27pm fred: ↳ chresti @5:24 I would love a sinister version of Shiny Happy People
	🧩 ♥ 5:28pm chris in the redwoods: <seals the deal with Myriam> oh my!
	🧩 ♥ 5:32pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Terre Brûlée" by "Myriam Gendron" only Myriam can make 'scorched earth' sound so beautiful
	♥ 5:33pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:18 Soft Breakfast version!
	5:34pm Dawn Awakening: Beautiful
	♥ 5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @5:33 Smell the toast and jam and coffee!!
	♥ 5:35pm dale: ↳ Song: "Song of the Pearl" by "Arbouretum" i thought that song was much older.
	5:39pm northguineahills: ↳ chris in the redwoods @5:25 can i officiate?
	5:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: Watching a crew remove 120ft tall Black Poplar 60 feet from my window. The chainsaw guy in the tree is super. The crane is big.
	5:39pm mood4luv: I would love a sinister version of Shiny Happy People!
	5:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Human Song" by "Crisis Walk-ins" new to me and digdug!
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ mood4luv @5:39 i want one that would give me immediate diabetes!
	♥ 5:43pm newton: ↳ northguineahills @5:42 I do not want that
	5:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ northguineahills @5:42 Great new concept: disease-bearing music! Each pathology a different genre. Think of the possibilities!
	♥ 5:47pm dale: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @5:39 nothing as empowering and dangerous as a chainsaw.
	♥ 5:47pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:45 I was listening to polyphony and got elephantiasis once.
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:45 i already have!
	5:47pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Human Song" by "Crisis Walk-ins" This only has two notes and I like them both.
	♥ 5:48pm fred: @NGH: I have a Spanish language question: a guy I know records and performs as Oso el Roto, I thought roto meant broken, but a friend from Colombia told me it's more complicated (Oso is from Chilean descent, which seemed to be a factor). Any clue, because it seems touchy?
	5:51pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @5:48 oso is bear, roto, depends on the slang and dialect (spanish is more varied dialectally than english). i always thought of roto as 'not working', and any euphenisms that can be associated w/ it. but i only know mexi spanish from Monterrey.
	♥ 5:51pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ fred @5:48 "The "roto" in Chile is used to refer to a man from the countryside. Humble, uneducated but with a lot of "street-smarts".
	5:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Jona" by "Penny Arcade" reminds me of Air (french band)
	♥ 5:51pm egould: Thank you, Scott. May a friendly squirrel wave at you on your way home this evening.
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @5:51 (also unemployed)
	♥ 5:52pm Scott Williams: ↳ egould @5:51 friendliest thing I've heard today, thanks egould! Gonna pass that along
	5:52pm northguineahills: souper duper danks, scott!
	🧩 ♥ 5:52pm Ike: Thanks, Scott!
	♥ 5:52pm dale: ↳ northguineahills @5:51 VERY moon safari.
	🧩 ♥ 5:53pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ northguineahills @5:39 still in negotiations with my current wife about polygamy, but lets tentatively say, yes!
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ dale @5:52 exactly!
	5:53pm bradford: Thank you, Scott.
	5:53pm morphe': Thanks Scottie !!! Scheduling permitting, I'll be part of the Mothership Enterprise Swag Vol crew... thanks for spinning and all the work...
	♥ 5:53pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott! Great sounds!
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott Williams @5:52 let's hope it's a friendly squirrel, i've observed squirrels, and they are definitely not friendly to each other (all the time)

Listener comments!
	♥ 2:24pm Scott Williams: listeners, I need your help: what's that song I love that samples "All Things Are Quite Silent" by Steeleye Span? Thought it was DJ Female Convict Scorpion, but not finding it
	♥ 3:00pm Handy Haversack: Scott! And Nova Scottians!
	♥ 3:01pm common: Scott! i dunno.
	♥ 3:01pm Acid Cazh: Hello Scott, hello Williamsonians

	♥ 3:02pm bleubombersune: Scott and all Scottolytes good afternoon. RIP Dickey Best
	♥ 3:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Scott Williams @2:24 Afraid I'm not familiar with that one.
	♥ 3:03pm chresti: Hi Scott and scottlanders!
	♥ 3:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! I dunno !
	♥ 3:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Scott Williams @2:24 I dropped the question on David Dichelle's playlist -- his show just ended, but he might know. Big Steeleyer!
	♥ 3:06pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:04 Good Socratic introduction - greetings, and the only thing I know, is that I don't know! Hullo and self-examining to you as well!

	♥ 3:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:06 I'd lean Zen - but perhaps both.
	♥ 3:09pm JG: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:07 I hope we get some ABB here.
	🧩 ♥ 3:10pm The Butterman: Scott, friends… hello.
	3:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Holy whee, haven't spun this Area LP in a dog's age...
	3:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also . hello .
	♥ 3:13pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Hi, sorry I'm late. Was giving a quick listen to All Things Are Quite Silent.
	♥ 3:15pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Song: "Gerontocrazia" by "Area" I hope Space Ghost and Zorak can get along. Very Sonny Sharrock
	3:16pm censored space: My new Mustang just showed up w 11s on it. Hmmm
	3:16pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Gerontocrazia" by "Area" Somehow the drummer is keeping up.
	♥ 3:16pm Scott Williams: Welcome pals! I sure hope someone figures out that track, I spent about 2/3 my prep time chasing it down!
	3:18pm Hubig Pie: ↳ censored space @3:16 Is that the Nigel Tufnel special edition?
	♥ 3:18pm Bas NL: Hello Scott! Hello all here!
	3:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Alas, I only remember that THERE WAS a track that sampled that Steeleye piece. Very helpful.
	♥ 3:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Scott Williams @3:16 Hey Scott, since you're a fan of Todd, and a real tech wiz (a true star) in the studio, have you ever thought about recording an update to Todd's "Intro"/Sounds of the Studio track? You'd have the most credibility of anyone in radio to make a new version of that!
	♥ 3:20pm Scott Williams: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:19 Only got as far as maybe opening a radio show with it once
	♥ 3:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Scott Williams @3:20 Still, cool idea to consider! (Maybe add some newer digital malfunctions into the mix.)
	3:23pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and intelligentsians. Sad to hear about one of my guitar idols passing, will have to play Dokaka's version of Ramblin' Man in tribute.
	♥ 3:24pm chresti: ↳ Scott Williams @3:16 I hate it when that happens!
	3:25pm Carmichael: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:19 "ya better get your headphones on and cranked up ..."
	♥ 3:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Scott and Brothers & Sisters!
	♥ 3:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Carmichael @3:25 ☺️ Hey Carm! I love the whole of Something/Anything? anyhow - a double album that's always a good use of one's listening time.
	♥ 3:27pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Scott Williams @3:16 Dave Dichelle says, "I guess I just know the original, but I'd love to hear the sample myself :)" So no help there, but I'll report back to him if we solve the mystery.
	♥ 3:27pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:26 Brother Ken HP! To all our Brothers & Sisters, in the ABB and out, living and passed...
	♥ 3:27pm steveo: chat gpt says ""False Knight on the Road" by English folk band Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick."
	♥ 3:28pm steveo: ↳ steveo @3:27 i think it's full of shit, though
	♥ 3:30pm Scott Williams: ↳ steveo @3:28 oh it's full o'shit alright
	3:31pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Hey Scott, Scottish folk.
	3:31pm Carmichael: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:27 The more you know about audio engineering and production, the more amazing that LP becomes.
	🧩 ♥ 3:31pm Ike: ↳ steveo @3:28 The Regurgitation Machine does it again! And by "it", I mean spew rubbish.
	♥ 3:32pm Matt from Springfield: Multo bene! Loving this introduzzione con Italia today!

	♥ 3:39pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Revival" by "Allman Brothers Band" 🕯️ Allman Brothers, always a refreshing sound.
	♥ 3:39pm ∫ydniuß: was hoping for in memory of Elizabeth Reed, but this’ll do 🎸
	3:39pm morphe': ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:36 The Unicorn is [true] the National Animal of Scotland ... long story ..
	3:40pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Hey, Matt. I just affect a little brogue when I talk out loud to myself during these three hours.
	3:41pm Gary: R.I.P. Dickey Betts
	♥ 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ morphe' @3:39 Indeed. The Lion and The Unicorn, fighting for the crown... I'll have to look into the whole story sometime.
	♥ 3:41pm Scott Williams: ↳ ∫ydniuß @3:39 I'm sure it won't be hard to find ER elsewhere
	♥ 3:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @3:40 Appropriate, for being Scott-adjacent.
	♥ 3:42pm evancuts: I thought my dial accidentally veered over to WFUV. Then I remembered who died. Thanks for playing some AB!!!
	♥ 3:42pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @3:40 Aye.
	♥ 3:43pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: a song Yo yo yo Mr Scott!!!
	3:44pm censored space: He’s Gone
	3:44pm Carmichael: Blue Sky is prolly my favorite Dickey solo.
	♥ 3:44pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: re: Dickie Betts. Yeah man. He was the guy that laid out beneath Duane or doubled and harmonized his solos. He was an MVP in that band.
	♥ 3:45pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: That is pretty hip that someone sampled that Steeleye Span tune.
	♥ 3:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Gerontocrazia" by "Area" Gerontocrazia = "you old crazy" That's even better! I'ma gonna yuse the Eye-talyin verzhin, now.
	♥ 3:50pm dale: afternoon. my ear holes were blessed whilst i threw a pot of soup together. i even cried. might have been cutting the onions.
	3:52pm censored space: Would “guitarmony” be an apt description for the Allmans or Thin Lizzy or both?
	♥ 3:52pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ dale @3:50 Scott W and fresh soup! A good afternoon for sure!
	♥ 3:53pm dave miss: ↳ Scott Williams @3:41 Hey Scott! I ordered some more skeleton crest shirts. (Mine got worn too much). Would you like another one?

	♥ 4:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:10 i broke down and got a surveillance unit...arriving today...
	4:14pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): All the Nilssons!
	♥ 4:15pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Open Your Window" by "Harry Nilsson" One of my favorite thing about Nilsson is that he's one of pop's great lyricists, yet all of his songs are like 15% nonsense syllables.
	♥ 4:15pm fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:12 I expect to have to when I have to renew my ID card...
	♥ 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ The Oscar @4:15 Interesting. A great distinctive Singer - who happened to have Smarts like that too...

	♥ 4:18pm Scott Williams: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @4:17 Nope, alas
	♥ 4:19pm Scott Williams: ↳ Jeff Moore @4:17 winky winky Jeffrey
	♥ 4:19pm fred: @Scott: I saw Glorias Navales yesterday, great show. I mention that because you're responsible for 75% of the plays they got on the station (meaning 3)
	♥ 4:22pm alanSixº: hello folks
	♥ 4:25pm Scott Williams: ↳ alanSixº @4:22 Yo Alan!
	♥ 4:26pm Scott Williams: ↳ fred @4:19 clearly I love them and am envious, Fred!
	4:28pm Sam Hyde: Is it 1984 time? Gicky gackers.
	4:28pm Sam Hyde: Heya Alan!
	♥ 4:29pm alanSixº: ↳ Sam Hyde @4:28 hello sam and all - just freezin ova here in the clair and using my tico as a heat engine
	♥ 4:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Euphoria" by "Neu!" Alt ist immer Neu! !
	♥ 4:32pm The Oscar: I love this bed music because it reminds me of "Multiple SIDosis."
	♥ 4:33pm fred: ↳ Scott Williams @4:26 The drummer had a VU T-shirt, so they clearly claim that influence (I had actually seen them before and forgot, I only remembered when seeing them on stage)
	♥ 4:37pm Matt from Springfield: Counter-scupping techniques clearly need to be developed!!
	♥ 4:38pm Matt from Springfield: Haven't seen it yet, but I've heard of "Chopping Mall" - a cult classic.
	♥ 4:38pm The Oscar: There's never a bad time to watch Chopping Mall. (And the Paul is Bartel-- he and Woronov reprise their roles from Eating Raoul!)
	♥ 4:38pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Damn it I missed the Neu! But it's nice to be out of the cold and back at my desk.
	♥ 4:39pm Matt from Springfield: 1970 Chartsweeps!!
	♥ 4:39pm ∫ydniuß: 72!
	4:39pm x: 71
	♥ 4:39pm Devin B.: '72 for no good reason
	♥ 4:39pm common: 70
	♥ 4:39pm efd: I was sure that someone I went to school with was involved with Chopping Mall (from 1986, btw), but a scan of credits on IMDB did not reveal any recognizable names.
	♥ 4:39pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): 70
	♥ 4:39pm chresti: 70
	🧩 ♥ 4:39pm The Butterman: Damn! Played chartsweep part one -53+ for my student earlier this week. Fun!
	♥ 4:40pm fred: 1971, that should be cringeworthy
	4:40pm Rich from Wading River: 71
	♥ 4:40pm Alvy Singer: 1972. That is when the first NEU album was released.
	4:40pm the palace at 4am: 1970, my birth year
	♥ 4:41pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ the palace at 4am @4:40 me too!
	♥ 4:41pm ∫ydniuß: 👻
	4:41pm Sam Hyde: I have Chuck Negron’s phone number
	♥ 4:41pm Acid Cazh: Shades of TMBG's "Fingertips"
	♥ 4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ fred @4:40 Ha, and THAT's why you want it! 😉 That's why I didn't choose '71, the albums were the best, but the singles/Top 40 were more cringeworthy than '72, and I like '70 Top 40 the best of those choices.
	♥ 4:42pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" I can never hear that Osmonds lick without thinking of "You Can't Judge a Book by its Hair" by the Credibility Gap.
	♥ 4:42pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" Heavy flashbacks to First Grade here!
	♥ 4:43pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Acid Cazh @4:41 i hear the wind blow
	4:43pm wenzo: What kind of broom was used to sweep up these hits… regular household broom, push broom, dry mop?
	♥ 4:43pm chresti: I was 14 in 71
	♥ 4:43pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, Carole King, Temps, Stones, some good choices in here.
	🧩 ♥ 4:43pm Ike: ↳ wenzo @4:43 These are so sharply and pointedly cringe that an industrial vacuum was required.
	♥ 4:43pm bleubombersune: Chanson sur ma drole de vie Veronique Sanson 1972
	4:44pm tedd prudhomme: Scott...please stop playing this.
	♥ 4:44pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:43 And "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"! Surprising amount of good '71 album material made it to the Top 40.
	4:44pm wenzo: Lol
	♥ 4:44pm ∫ydniuß: AMOS
	♥ 4:44pm fred: I once collaborated with former WFMU DJ Nat Roe on software that would make a chartsweep-like mix out of a playlist. I think it was posted on Beware of the Blog, the apps probably don't work anymore, but the source code might still be there
	♥ 4:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ bleubombersune @4:43 The original French song "Amoureuse"? That's all I really know from her. But I love that, and Olivia's cover.
	4:45pm tedd prudhomme: please.
	♥ 4:45pm Scott Williams: ↳ efd @4:39 I got everything wrong about Chopping Mall, hahahaaa! 86, Paul Bartel
	4:46pm Sam Hyde: I died in 1973. The year the Exorcist came out
	4:46pm Carmichael: ↳ chresti @4:43 Me too! But I think you already know that ...
	4:46pm tedd prudhomme: I beg you.
	♥ 4:46pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): From Jesus Christ Superstar to Superstar was kind of felicitous.
	♥ 4:46pm bleubombersune: Where's the prog?
	♥ 4:47pm ∫ydniuß: so many gypsies tramps and thieves
	4:47pm Sam Hyde: So I remember some of these tunes
	♥ 4:47pm efd: ↳ tedd prudhomme @4:46 I think your time would have been better spent just turning the volume down for 5 minutes or so.
	4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ Scott Williams @4:45 To be fair, thanks to the horror pun title i totally would have guessed 1983.
	♥ 4:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Burning For You" by "9th Ward Marching Band" And, a great palate cleanser immediately follows! 🙂
	4:48pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Burning For You" by "9th Ward Marching Band" I'm from the Nine I don't mind dyin'
	4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Despite the chartsweep I still maintain that 1971 was the pinnacle of everything.
	♥ 4:48pm fred: I think Temptation Eyes was in there (the only one I recognized, and only because of the Blake Babies cover)
	♥ 4:49pm bleubombersune: So glad I didn't waste a wooden nickel on this music back in the day
	♥ 4:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ fred @4:48 Ah yes, I think I heard the intro to the Grass Roots "Temptation Eyes" in there as well. It was a '71 release.
	🧩 ♥ 4:50pm Ike: Chopping Mall was screen-tested under the title “Killbots” and did poorly, so they wisely changed it to Chopping Mall. It did OK in theaters but found much more success on VHS, obviously.
	4:50pm Monica: ↳ Song: "1971 Chartsweep" by "N/a" 1971 Chartsweep! Totally forgot about these (there were other years, yes?). Completely verifies that year, that era as doing THEE MOST!!! Thx for bringin it back, Scott! Who did those anyway?
	♥ 4:50pm fred: ↳ Song: "Itkyokume" by "Nissenenmondai" I haven't seen them in ages! And I miss them very much
	♥ 4:52pm Scott Williams: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @4:47 RTD, see, you get me
	♥ 4:53pm ∫ydniuß: Despite? If you needed woodworking done, there were Carpenters everywhere!
	♥ 4:54pm Scott Williams: ↳ Monica @4:50 Hiya Mo! I slung em together back in 06 when I had too much couch time
	4:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ efd @4:39 similarly: during my year at a military school in PA (1980), supposedly our school was scouted for locations for the film TAPS - they ended up shooting at Valley Forge near philly; but ah, what could have been...
	🧩 ♥ 4:55pm The Butterman: ↳ the palace at 4am @4:40 Ooooooo Giacometti, one of my top fav artists! Nice.
	4:55pm Monica: ↳ Scott Williams @4:54 Effin' awesome. Scott!
	♥ 4:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" Yes. This. Whatever "This" may be.
	♥ 4:57pm fred: The first time I saw Nissenenmondai, friends were opening (a noise band). They were blocked by snow, so my friends had to play for 40 minutes while they usually topped at 20 at most. Nissenenmondai finally got in, did a 15 minute setup/sound check, then delivered a mind-blowing show. I've been a fan ever since (Fan is a great "single" by the way)
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" ...No.
	♥ 4:58pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" that was fantastic
	♥ 4:59pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "D'Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by "British Standard Unit" Yes
	♥ 5:03pm Todd76Pct: Hey Scott and all, I wonder if the track that samples Steeleye Span's "All Things Are Quite Silent" is by the archivist/ musician Andrew King? Don't have time to search for it rn...
	♥ 5:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "My Wild Love" by "Nōh Mercy" doors eff thuh whirled
	5:04pm jg: DOORS!
	♥ 5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ..cause - I'm a DOORSFAN...

	5:09pm nadidadi: killing it
	♥ 5:09pm Jason from Houston: Just when that solo starts to get uncomfortable. Perfect.
	♥ 5:11pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Tinindo Trincado" by "Novos Baianos" Certified banger.
	5:13pm mood4luv: Hello, everyone! Ready to chat and roll!
	🧩 ♥ 5:15pm chris in the redwoods: long live Scott! long live free form! <3
	♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Colours (remodel)" by "No Man" Nice! Like a soft breakbeat version of Donovan's '69 version.
	5:19pm jg: DONAVAN!
	5:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:18 and 1990, hadn't heard this!
	♥ 5:20pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Colours (remodel)" by "No Man" Is it just me or is this a rather sinister take?
	♥ 5:20pm newton: ↳ chresti @5:20 not just you
	♥ 5:21pm newton: ↳ chresti @5:20 felt like dissociating, trying to hold on to a memory and trying to reassure oneself
	♥ 5:21pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ chresti @5:20 Everyone will have their own subjective feel about something, but I think this has parallels with Danielle Dax's contemporary version of "Tomorrow Never Knows" - neither sinister nor affirming - just a trancey reimagining (remodeling!) for the era.
	5:22pm Sam Hyde (he/him): Oh yeah
	5:24pm mood4luv: Sounds like this song is taking us on a journey through different interpretations and eras!
	♥ 5:24pm chresti: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:21 That's a nice version! I welcome all sinister versions of happy songs especially!
	🧩 ♥ 5:24pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Anonymous Club" by "Courtney Barnett" Makes me think of this Simpsons moment: static.wikia.nocookie.net...
	🧩 ♥ 5:25pm chris in the redwoods: i wanna marry this set (don’t tell mrs. citr)
	♥ 5:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Colours (remodel)" by "No Man" Donovan eff thuh whirled
	♥ 5:27pm fred: ↳ chresti @5:24 I would love a sinister version of Shiny Happy People
	🧩 ♥ 5:28pm chris in the redwoods: <seals the deal with Myriam> oh my!
	🧩 ♥ 5:32pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "Terre Brûlée" by "Myriam Gendron" only Myriam can make 'scorched earth' sound so beautiful
	♥ 5:33pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:18 Soft Breakfast version!
	5:34pm Dawn Awakening: Beautiful
	♥ 5:35pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @5:33 Smell the toast and jam and coffee!!
	♥ 5:35pm dale: ↳ Song: "Song of the Pearl" by "Arbouretum" i thought that song was much older.
	5:39pm northguineahills: ↳ chris in the redwoods @5:25 can i officiate?
	5:39pm ledzeppelinsucks: Watching a crew remove 120ft tall Black Poplar 60 feet from my window. The chainsaw guy in the tree is super. The crane is big.
	5:39pm mood4luv: I would love a sinister version of Shiny Happy People!
	5:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Human Song" by "Crisis Walk-ins" new to me and digdug!
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ mood4luv @5:39 i want one that would give me immediate diabetes!
	♥ 5:43pm newton: ↳ northguineahills @5:42 I do not want that
	5:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ northguineahills @5:42 Great new concept: disease-bearing music! Each pathology a different genre. Think of the possibilities!
	♥ 5:47pm dale: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @5:39 nothing as empowering and dangerous as a chainsaw.
	♥ 5:47pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:45 I was listening to polyphony and got elephantiasis once.
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:45 i already have!
	5:47pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Human Song" by "Crisis Walk-ins" This only has two notes and I like them both.
	♥ 5:48pm fred: @NGH: I have a Spanish language question: a guy I know records and performs as Oso el Roto, I thought roto meant broken, but a friend from Colombia told me it's more complicated (Oso is from Chilean descent, which seemed to be a factor). Any clue, because it seems touchy?
	5:51pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @5:48 oso is bear, roto, depends on the slang and dialect (spanish is more varied dialectally than english). i always thought of roto as 'not working', and any euphenisms that can be associated w/ it. but i only know mexi spanish from Monterrey.
	♥ 5:51pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ fred @5:48 "The "roto" in Chile is used to refer to a man from the countryside. Humble, uneducated but with a lot of "street-smarts".
	5:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Jona" by "Penny Arcade" reminds me of Air (french band)
	♥ 5:51pm egould: Thank you, Scott. May a friendly squirrel wave at you on your way home this evening.

	5:53pm bradford: Thank you, Scott.

	♥ 5:53pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott! Great sounds!
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott Williams @5:52 let's hope it's a friendly squirrel, i've observed squirrels, and they are definitely not friendly to each other (all the time)
	♥ 5:54pm Matt from Springfield: What a show! What a journey today! Thanks so much Scott! Have a great evening, everyone!
	5:54pm Hubig Pie: The squirrels in our backyard throw things at us and our cats from the trees..
	5:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ northguineahills @5:51 "varied" is an awesome understatement! Having learned a bit of castilian spanish in school did nothing for me in arizona, which is a perfect storm of that, mexican spanish, tohono o'odham, and slang from all these .. fascinating stuff though
	♥ 5:54pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Wow, this all went quick. Did anyone ever figure it out?
	♥ 5:55pm fred: ↳ Edgar from Maine @5:51 Thanks, that might explain things (pejorative for some, a claim of pride for others)
	♥ 5:55pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:54 "coño" .... be careful from country to country.
	♥ 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ever felt tied to the whipping post? Not during this timeslot! Thanks, Scott.
	5:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:54 yeah, i can only understand Mexi, Colombian, Cental American, and Castillian Spanish. Can't understand anything from anywhere else...
	5:56pm Carmichael: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:56 I was thinking of Zappa's version earlier ...
	♥ 5:56pm Edgar from Maine: ↳ fred @5:55 I love this stuff. Thanks for piquing my curiosity as well.
	♥ 5:57pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "2.35 (version 1)" by "Spacemen 3" Taking drugs to take drugs to take drugs to take drugs to drugs to.
	5:57pm Sam Hyde (he/him): King Boom
