	♥ 3:09pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Cal Zone! @3:09 Hey Cal! Fingers crossed for the continuation of the great American Experiment!
	♥ 3:13pm Brian in UK: ↳ Sem @3:09 Hopefully the snail/slug festival is over. Soft fruit to be picked soon. Tatas & beans/peas on the way. Not so lucky with strawberries, think a squirrel has been on manoeuvers.

	3:16pm Stanley: Sem! Brian! Friends of the Feathered Flock
	♥ 3:17pm Sem: ↳ Stanley @3:16 Stanley, back from the Uralasian wilds in one piece. Bravo!
	3:18pm Stanley: @Brian in UK Hi Brian. Not really the night's are definitely getting longer. Bloody cold up here for the time of year
	3:20pm Stanley: @Sem Hi Sem. Yeah back in one piece and smiling. Since then it's been relentless what with trouble at work and fighting back the jungle (I mean garden)
	♥ 3:22pm Sem: ↳ Stanley @3:20 I empathize w/ the tangled garden syndrome. SO I wonder then if a change is as good as a rest...
	♥ 3:23pm Sem: yes! Parliament is in session.
	3:24pm Stanley: @Sem It was an amazing trip. So glad I did it. I managed to 'get away from it all' mentally and physically.
	3:26pm love2laf: ↳ Stanley @3:24 Welcome back Stanley glad you had an amazing trip! Hello Larry this funk is getting me out of my funk. Hello fellow testifiers.
	♥ 3:26pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @3:26 Hey love2laf!
	3:28pm Stanley: @love2laf Hi love2
	3:31pm Stanley: Doing it in 3D!
	♥ 3:32pm Funky16Corners: If you hear any noise, it's just me and the boys...
	3:40pm Tim in TN: Hi Larry and all. I'm shelving records and you have me tempted to get to those Mexican beverages in the frig sooner than plan. Not sure carrying boxes of heavy records and drinking beer is a good combo, but I just might give it a shot. Thank you for another great show! I need to turn my ears to the funk/disco direction more often.
	♥ 3:41pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Tim in TN @3:40 Hi Tim! Take it easy with the heavy work, but keep the cold ones flowing!
	3:45pm Erica: Hi Larry. I managed to get wifi from my brother in law so I can connect at my sister's house.
	♥ 3:45pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:45 Hi Erica!
	3:45pm Erica: I'm still hanging with the family while tuning in for a bit.
	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:45 Cookout? I would kill for a hot dog right now.
	3:47pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:46 More like a cookin.
	♥ 3:48pm Sem: Parliament for life!
	♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:48 Abso-funkin-lutely!
	3:50pm Erica: Anyway happy 4th of July funk fans!
	3:51pm Dean: Where were you, Larry, during the Nathan's thing?! It just occurred to me that for almost 20 years I was Parliamentarian for an association in California. Not once did I proclaim, "Tear the roof off the sucker." However, I frequently reminded the assembled to free their minds, etc.
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:51 You mean this years contest? I didn't see it, though the reigning champ was pushed out because he's endorsing veggie dogs. Also, ALL Parliamentarians should be tearing the roof off whenever possible. And, hello Dean!
	3:53pm Dean: That's right, and you would have no trouble securing a hot dog or two or sixty.
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:53 I would settle for three or four, or a trip to Maui's Dog House in Wildwood, who make a kickass hot dog.
	3:57pm WLSClark: Hi 16th Funky Corner of the world!
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:57 Hey Clark!
	3:57pm Dean: Maui's looks incredible, the kind of place I want to know about when I'm visiting the area. Right now I'm trying to identify similar joints near Monterey, CA. Here in Berkeley we have the enduring Top Dog, perhaps the only restaurant featuring a webpage of ideological affinities: http://www.topdoghotdogs.com/propergander.html
	3:59pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 Larry, what is the significance of your name here?
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:57 I gotta check that out. Maui's makes a killer horseradish mustard and their rolls are locally sourced, franks, too.
	4:01pm WLSClark: Had me a $1.50 good old American hotdog at Costco last night for hot dog eating contest. I won!
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 I started a funk/soul web zine in 2000 and borrowed the name from a killer 45 by the Highlighters Band. Carried it with me through my blogs, radio shows and live DJing. It comes from the many "corners" dance craze records, four corners, eight corners, getting the corners etc
	4:01pm Dean: Name was a band's name, right? But that doesn't get to significance. For killer horseradish mustard, my two go-to's are Philippe's for French dips near Union Station in LA, and Johnnie's Pastrami on Sepulveda, just north of LAX.
	4:02pm Dean: The name of the song, got it!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:01 www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @4:01 Hiya, Clark!
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and the funk party!
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:06 Hey Theo!
	4:07pm Fred R: Hey Larry and all! Happy 4th!
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:07 Hi Fred!
	4:09pm Erica: Hi Fred.
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm dutchtheo: Connected by Stereo MC's sampled Jimmy "Bo" Horne's Let Me (Let Me Be Your Lover)
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:10 I was about to ask if anyone recognized it!
	4:11pm Fred R: Hi Erica
	4:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 Thanks, I wondered!
	4:15pm WLSClark: Hi Erica, Andrew and all.
	4:17pm Erica: Hi WLS.
	4:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "New Bell" by "Manu Dibango" I thought this was gonna be Hikki-Burr at beginning!
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 That used to be one of my fave funk 45s. I haven't played it in years, for obvious reasons.
	♥ 4:20pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry, y'all
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:20 Hi C!
	4:23pm Stanley: So I'm thinking what's this West African Latin jazz thing going on here? Manu Dibango. Had to be.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Stanley @4:23 Hi Stanley! He was from Cameroon, recorded in France
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but here for the last set! Getting ready for grilling, you know.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:27 Hey Jeff! Get those brats on the grill!
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Jeff Ash: Going with chicken and corn today.
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:28 That sounds good!
	♥ 4:29pm Sem: Funky Corners, indeed.
	4:29pm Erica: Mmmm chicken
	♥ 4:29pm Sem: Mmmmm, funky chicken.
	♥ 4:33pm Rich in Washington: Diggin' thee soundz, Larry!
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:33 Hi Rich!
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: Be sure to tune in tonight at 7PM ET for Rich in Washington! wfmu.org...
	4:39pm Dean: Grilled corn: Not that anybody asked, but I first microwave ears in their husks, remove the husk, then grill with butter. No problem cooking them through, and lots of good grill flavor.
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:39 LOVE grilled corn!
	4:40pm Erica: I like hot corn on the cob with butter but not grilled. Looks burnt.
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Mxter Baba: yahhh, dance party! hey, Larry and folx!
	4:42pm Dean: It looks burnt, Erica, because it is burnt. You don't like burnt corn, and that's fair. The euphemism is "caramelized."
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:42 Hey Baba!
	4:43pm Dean: My suggestion above reduces burning/caramelizing, but not entirely.
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:42 AKA Delicious, with some butter, salt, pepper and just a touch of green Cholula hot sauce
	♥ 4:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:42 My Mxter Baba! Hope you're doing well in the heat!
	4:44pm Erica: Hi Baba. We're having a funkay 4th of July show today.
	4:45pm Dean: My day-to-day hot sauce of choice these days is El Yucateco Caribbean: https://www.amazon.com/El-Yucateco-Caribbean-Habanero-Bottle/dp/B000MSDLH4 I find it at a Hispanic market in Richmond, CA, for around $2.25/bottle.
	4:45pm love2laf: Grilled corn in the husk is also super tasty. Soak the corn in their husks in water for at least 20 minutes, throw them on the grill. Best part is burning your fingers in wild anticipation of scarfing down that corn after adding butter.
	♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:45 Now I want to go get some corn. Maybe tomorrow it'll be corn and tube steaks for dinner.
	4:47pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:42 It ain't caramelized if it's burnt black.
	4:48pm Dean: Somebody isn't grilling corn carefully.
	♥ 4:49pm Sem: Funked within an inch of my life. Thank you, Rev. Larry. Next time.
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:49 My pleasure, Sem!
	4:50pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:48 Lol I'm just saying.
	4:51pm Dean: I mean, same for popcorn, right?
	4:51pm love2laf: Thank you Larry, the funk really did knock my funk on it's ass, and feeling much better now. Happy 4th of July and hope you have success in your quest for corn and hot dogs! Cheers everyone, hope you have a great 4th, and no burnt corn!
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:51 Thanks love2laf! Have a great rest of the 4th!
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Mxter Baba: back atacha l2lkins!
	4:53pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:51 I haven't had popcorn in a long time.
	♥ 4:53pm WR: Hello Larry and folks. Have been enjoying the Funky Fourth throw down while prepping and filing follow up fed tax form. The tunes helped me get through it sanely. Thank You! Heading out now for fried chicken and beer. Cheers.
	♥ 4:54pm doctorjazz: Great dog walking music, thanks Larry!
	4:54pm Dean: Nor I, Erica, but my son makes it (the insta-kind) all the time. Usually, it works out just fine, but mistakes can be unpleasant.
	4:54pm Erica: Awesome show Larry! I will need to find time to catch up on the beginning of the show later. Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate!
	4:54pm Dean: "Walk, walking the dog!"
	4:55pm Dean: Happy Fourth, all, and you know what? Fuck it. Happy Fifth, too!
	4:55pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:54 I hate burnt popcorn but it tastes better than the pre bagged stuff. Nothing beats movie popcorn though.
	♥ 4:56pm doctorjazz: I grill corn on the husks all the time (gas grill). No soaking, no problem, comes out great!
	♥ 4:56pm Yvang: tHIS SHOW WAS FUNKY IN ALL CORNERS! Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:53 Thanks WR!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:54 Thanks Doc!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:54 Thanks Erica!
	4:57pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:55 Thanks Dean!
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:56 Thanks Yvang!
	♥ 4:57pm WR: ↳ Dean @4:55 Right On! Right On! Right On!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Mxter Baba: thanks, Larrykins!
	4:57pm Dean: I haven't had movie popcorn in decades, because I don't go to movies, but even if I did I wouldn't pay for it. I'm telling you, a preliminary microwave of corn on the cob, followed by grilling, is perfect.
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @4:55 yes, happy 5th of july! -when the particular bullshit of the 4th is 1 day behind. when i can go downtown without concern that i'll get into a fight because they all live a lie and i won't indulge them.
	♥ 4:59pm doctorjazz: If its good, sweet in season corn, it's hard to run
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:59 Thanks C!
	♥ 5:00pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful episode! Thanks, larry!

	♥ 3:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @3:45 Cookout? I would kill for a hot dog right now.
	3:47pm Erica: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:46 More like a cookin.
	♥ 3:48pm Sem: Parliament for life!
	♥ 3:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @3:48 Abso-funkin-lutely!
	3:50pm Erica: Anyway happy 4th of July funk fans!
	3:51pm Dean: Where were you, Larry, during the Nathan's thing?! It just occurred to me that for almost 20 years I was Parliamentarian for an association in California. Not once did I proclaim, "Tear the roof off the sucker." However, I frequently reminded the assembled to free their minds, etc.
	♥ 3:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:51 You mean this years contest? I didn't see it, though the reigning champ was pushed out because he's endorsing veggie dogs. Also, ALL Parliamentarians should be tearing the roof off whenever possible. And, hello Dean!
	3:53pm Dean: That's right, and you would have no trouble securing a hot dog or two or sixty.
	♥ 3:54pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:53 I would settle for three or four, or a trip to Maui's Dog House in Wildwood, who make a kickass hot dog.
	3:57pm WLSClark: Hi 16th Funky Corner of the world!
	♥ 3:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:57 Hey Clark!
	3:57pm Dean: Maui's looks incredible, the kind of place I want to know about when I'm visiting the area. Right now I'm trying to identify similar joints near Monterey, CA. Here in Berkeley we have the enduring Top Dog, perhaps the only restaurant featuring a webpage of ideological affinities: http://www.topdoghotdogs.com/propergander.html
	3:59pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @3:57 Larry, what is the significance of your name here?
	♥ 3:59pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @3:57 I gotta check that out. Maui's makes a killer horseradish mustard and their rolls are locally sourced, franks, too.
	4:01pm WLSClark: Had me a $1.50 good old American hotdog at Costco last night for hot dog eating contest. I won!
	♥ 4:01pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @3:59 I started a funk/soul web zine in 2000 and borrowed the name from a killer 45 by the Highlighters Band. Carried it with me through my blogs, radio shows and live DJing. It comes from the many "corners" dance craze records, four corners, eight corners, getting the corners etc
	4:01pm Dean: Name was a band's name, right? But that doesn't get to significance. For killer horseradish mustard, my two go-to's are Philippe's for French dips near Union Station in LA, and Johnnie's Pastrami on Sepulveda, just north of LAX.
	4:02pm Dean: The name of the song, got it!
	♥ 4:02pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:01 www.discogs.com...
	♥ 4:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ WLSClark @4:01 Hiya, Clark!
	🥁 ♥ 4:06pm dutchtheo: Hey Larry and the funk party!
	♥ 4:06pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:06 Hey Theo!
	4:07pm Fred R: Hey Larry and all! Happy 4th!
	♥ 4:07pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Fred R @4:07 Hi Fred!
	4:09pm Erica: Hi Fred.
	🥁 ♥ 4:10pm dutchtheo: Connected by Stereo MC's sampled Jimmy "Bo" Horne's Let Me (Let Me Be Your Lover)
	♥ 4:10pm Funky16Corners: ↳ dutchtheo @4:10 I was about to ask if anyone recognized it!
	4:11pm Fred R: Hi Erica
	4:14pm WLSClark: ↳ Funky16Corners @4:01 Thanks, I wondered!
	4:15pm WLSClark: Hi Erica, Andrew and all.
	4:17pm Erica: Hi WLS.
	4:18pm WLSClark: ↳ Song: "New Bell" by "Manu Dibango" I thought this was gonna be Hikki-Burr at beginning!
	♥ 4:19pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WLSClark @4:18 That used to be one of my fave funk 45s. I haven't played it in years, for obvious reasons.
	♥ 4:20pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Larry, y'all
	♥ 4:20pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:20 Hi C!
	4:23pm Stanley: So I'm thinking what's this West African Latin jazz thing going on here? Manu Dibango. Had to be.
	♥ 4:24pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Stanley @4:23 Hi Stanley! He was from Cameroon, recorded in France
	🥁 ♥ 4:27pm Jeff Ash: Late to the party, but here for the last set! Getting ready for grilling, you know.
	♥ 4:27pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:27 Hey Jeff! Get those brats on the grill!
	🥁 ♥ 4:28pm Jeff Ash: Going with chicken and corn today.
	♥ 4:28pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Jeff Ash @4:28 That sounds good!
	♥ 4:29pm Sem: Funky Corners, indeed.
	4:29pm Erica: Mmmm chicken
	♥ 4:29pm Sem: Mmmmm, funky chicken.
	♥ 4:33pm Rich in Washington: Diggin' thee soundz, Larry!
	♥ 4:33pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:33 Hi Rich!
	♥ 4:34pm Funky16Corners: Be sure to tune in tonight at 7PM ET for Rich in Washington! wfmu.org...
	4:39pm Dean: Grilled corn: Not that anybody asked, but I first microwave ears in their husks, remove the husk, then grill with butter. No problem cooking them through, and lots of good grill flavor.
	♥ 4:39pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:39 LOVE grilled corn!
	4:40pm Erica: I like hot corn on the cob with butter but not grilled. Looks burnt.
	🥁 ♥ 4:42pm Mxter Baba: yahhh, dance party! hey, Larry and folx!
	4:42pm Dean: It looks burnt, Erica, because it is burnt. You don't like burnt corn, and that's fair. The euphemism is "caramelized."
	♥ 4:42pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:42 Hey Baba!
	4:43pm Dean: My suggestion above reduces burning/caramelizing, but not entirely.
	♥ 4:43pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:42 AKA Delicious, with some butter, salt, pepper and just a touch of green Cholula hot sauce
	♥ 4:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mxter Baba @4:42 My Mxter Baba! Hope you're doing well in the heat!
	4:44pm Erica: Hi Baba. We're having a funkay 4th of July show today.
	4:45pm Dean: My day-to-day hot sauce of choice these days is El Yucateco Caribbean: https://www.amazon.com/El-Yucateco-Caribbean-Habanero-Bottle/dp/B000MSDLH4 I find it at a Hispanic market in Richmond, CA, for around $2.25/bottle.
	4:45pm love2laf: Grilled corn in the husk is also super tasty. Soak the corn in their husks in water for at least 20 minutes, throw them on the grill. Best part is burning your fingers in wild anticipation of scarfing down that corn after adding butter.
	♥ 4:46pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:45 Now I want to go get some corn. Maybe tomorrow it'll be corn and tube steaks for dinner.
	4:47pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:42 It ain't caramelized if it's burnt black.
	4:48pm Dean: Somebody isn't grilling corn carefully.
	♥ 4:49pm Sem: Funked within an inch of my life. Thank you, Rev. Larry. Next time.
	♥ 4:49pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Sem @4:49 My pleasure, Sem!
	4:50pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:48 Lol I'm just saying.
	4:51pm Dean: I mean, same for popcorn, right?
	4:51pm love2laf: Thank you Larry, the funk really did knock my funk on it's ass, and feeling much better now. Happy 4th of July and hope you have success in your quest for corn and hot dogs! Cheers everyone, hope you have a great 4th, and no burnt corn!
	♥ 4:52pm Funky16Corners: ↳ love2laf @4:51 Thanks love2laf! Have a great rest of the 4th!
	🥁 ♥ 4:52pm Mxter Baba: back atacha l2lkins!
	4:53pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:51 I haven't had popcorn in a long time.
	♥ 4:53pm WR: Hello Larry and folks. Have been enjoying the Funky Fourth throw down while prepping and filing follow up fed tax form. The tunes helped me get through it sanely. Thank You! Heading out now for fried chicken and beer. Cheers.
	♥ 4:54pm doctorjazz: Great dog walking music, thanks Larry!
	4:54pm Dean: Nor I, Erica, but my son makes it (the insta-kind) all the time. Usually, it works out just fine, but mistakes can be unpleasant.
	4:54pm Erica: Awesome show Larry! I will need to find time to catch up on the beginning of the show later. Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate!
	4:54pm Dean: "Walk, walking the dog!"
	4:55pm Dean: Happy Fourth, all, and you know what? Fuck it. Happy Fifth, too!
	4:55pm Erica: ↳ Dean @4:54 I hate burnt popcorn but it tastes better than the pre bagged stuff. Nothing beats movie popcorn though.
	♥ 4:56pm doctorjazz: I grill corn on the husks all the time (gas grill). No soaking, no problem, comes out great!
	♥ 4:56pm Yvang: tHIS SHOW WAS FUNKY IN ALL CORNERS! Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ WR @4:53 Thanks WR!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ doctorjazz @4:54 Thanks Doc!
	♥ 4:56pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Erica @4:54 Thanks Erica!
	4:57pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Dean @4:55 Thanks Dean!
	♥ 4:57pm Funky16Corners: ↳ Yvang @4:56 Thanks Yvang!
	♥ 4:57pm WR: ↳ Dean @4:55 Right On! Right On! Right On!
	🥁 ♥ 4:57pm Mxter Baba: thanks, Larrykins!
	4:57pm Dean: I haven't had movie popcorn in decades, because I don't go to movies, but even if I did I wouldn't pay for it. I'm telling you, a preliminary microwave of corn on the cob, followed by grilling, is perfect.
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @4:55 yes, happy 5th of july! -when the particular bullshit of the 4th is 1 day behind. when i can go downtown without concern that i'll get into a fight because they all live a lie and i won't indulge them.
	♥ 4:59pm doctorjazz: If its good, sweet in season corn, it's hard to run
	♥ 4:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry!
	♥ 5:00pm Funky16Corners: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:59 Thanks C!
	♥ 5:00pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful episode! Thanks, larry!
