	3:46pm chresti: ↳ traven @3:44 So they say...
	3:49pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ chresti @3:40 I still live in Chinatown, ground zero for all kinds of fireworks—mostly illegal.
	👻 3:51pm Jason from Houston: ↳ chresti @3:40 Just a few where I am. And then there was the 6 a.m. fireworks last year. LOL My friend lives about three miles away and it's total chaos there.
	3:52pm ?: ↳ slugluv1313 @3:44 @slug ... just one of my fave tunes of all time, otherwise would have missed it.
	3:52pm traven: ↳ chresti @3:46 Last week I heard on the news radio that some poor bastard got his left hand completely blown off, and also lost a fingers of his right hand. And he was in his fifties. Go figure . . .
	3:53pm San Pedro Girl: Micah, you’ve really nailed it, apparently having dug up the most depressing, unheard ballads of that period. We thought times were dark then. Ha!
	3:55pm Kat in the chat: I live about a mile from the site of the Wawa-sponsored July 4th concert (Ne-Yo and Kesha this year) and fireworks. I might drag a camp chair to the vicinity around fireworks time.
	3:55pm ∫ydniuß: A meloncholy 4th to all! lovin it Micah
	3:55pm Kat in the chat: (this is in Philly)
	3:55pm ∫ydniuß: watermeloncholy for everybody
	3:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ traven @3:52 It turns out that lighting explosives for fun can misfire and maim people. Who knew?
	3:59pm dale: ↳ traven @3:52 he'll never masturbate again. which puts him in god's light so it was really a blessing.
	4:01pm pp: precursor to Beta Band vocal stylings.
	4:01pm traven: ↳ San Pedro Girl @3:58 As the old saying goes, one who insists on playing with matches, one will eventually get burned.
	4:02pm chresti: ↳ San Pedro Girl @3:49 Ah yes, lunar new year in San Gabriel is the same
	4:06pm PaulRobeson1924: & she was beside me
	4:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ chresti @4:02 Downer folk fest ’24! The sad songs you never heard because the musicians were too depressed to tour or promote their work.
	4:09pm dale: ↳ Song: "Song for the Only" by "Twilight Nuages" the band was rehearsing procol harum, for sure.
	4:10pm San Pedro Girl: @ Chresti, that was a general comment—not directed at you. ;)
	4:16pm dale: ↳ Song: "Be My Song/Cant Stop Believing" by "Tami Osborne" some big production on this one. dan hill -worthy production.
	4:24pm San Pedro Girl: Three cheers for the red white and blue!! We’re having daytime fireworks here in downtown SF. Woohoo! 🎇
	4:32pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "Song to Barbara" by "Rain" Sounding a bit like a miserable version of Caravan. Loving the show though Micah, great to have you on air today.
	4:32pm james from bayonne: Fantastic set Micah
	4:32pm PaulRobeson1924: What happened to the nice music
	4:32pm chresti: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:10 Got it :)
	4:34pm ?: death to america
	4:34pm PaulRobeson1924: Death Call like a ringing in my ear and you know it’s a shame and a pitty yer raised up in the city and never learned nothin’ bout county ways ooh
	4:35pm Christy D: Amen
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1924: FREEDOM! Liberty! COME AND TAKE IT! “I’m GOING TO STAY HERE AND HAVE A PART OF IT JUST LIKE YOU AND NO FACIST MINDED PERSON IS GOING TO DRIVE ME FROM IT! Is that clear?”
	4:37pm chresti: Any drowning in my beer songs?
	4:37pm Dan S: The only problem with doing such melancholy music for this 4th of July is, what can you do to top it next year? Especially if the Presidential election goes the wrong way, as it's now looking it probably will. Well, let's look at the bright side: Maybe you-know-who, if he's elected, will blow up the world before next July 4th.
	4:37pm PaulRobeson1924: We are the shining city upon the hill. baby? My story is America. COME AND TAKE IT
	4:38pm micah: ↳ Dan S @4:37 exactly. next year ill be forced to play only patriotic anthems. with a gun to my head
	4:38pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Dan S @4:37 There are institutions that can help you, Dan. Mid island Psyc center. Mid Hudson.
	4:39pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:35 I do like that defiant quote from your namesake.
	4:39pm ?: maybe he'll die of natural causes before the election.
	4:40pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:38 I don't feel up to traveling right now.
	4:40pm micah: ↳ @4:39 theres nothing natural about him. He'll "live" forever
	4:40pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Dan S @4:39 Dan. In my view You’re insane. Insane writing about blowing up the world.
	4:41pm Dan S: ↳ @4:39 The one thing that could make me think there is a God and He cares about humanity.
	4:42pm PaulRobeson1924: I’m just playing! You’re Probably OK, Dan. Just stay away from Mr.Ken’s show or yer on the fast track to the asylum
	4:43pm PaulRobeson1924: Mid Hudson. They can help you. They want to help you
	4:43pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:42 I love Ken's show, of course.
	4:45pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:43 Is there really a Cherry Blossom Clinic, like in the song by The Move? That's where I'd like to go. :)
	4:45pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ micah @4:40 Evil does not naturally dwell in the world. In events or in people. Evil is a byproduct of forgetfulness and laziness and so on. When we remember our true aim… we overcome. There is this potential in everyone no matter what
	4:45pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:43 here I put Morisson Hotel on have some green tea
	4:46pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:45 Thank you, so so much. Gosh
	👻 4:48pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Old Men" by "Ragged Robins" Niiiiiiiice one...
	4:49pm Dan S: Micah, these are great, beautiful, sad songs. Depressing even by my standards, though.
	4:50pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:46 you’re very welcome I also brought sparklers and maybe an M80
	4:54pm slugluv1313: ↳ micah @4:40 agreed -- it will get whatever -- preservatives, etc. -- injected to perpetuate its existence (and its cult will continue to see it as "God" . . . geez, talk about "false idols"!!!)
	4:57pm ?: Valse Idle
	4:57pm slugluv1313: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:45 true -- even in humans, infants are born totally innocent, uncorrupted, basically as perfect as other species -- they only learn to be evil from other humans
	4:57pm ∫ydniuß: P403 low idle
	4:58pm asheville jon: Yay, Micah!!
	4:58pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Wellington Tang" by "Ron Moore" ooooo kinda Tim Buckley vibes? really enjoying your show, Micah
	4:59pm katharsis: Climbing, climbing, why all this climbing? Will the sun ever set?
	5:05pm ∫ydniuß: Psychic Faraday Cage 0nly 19.99
	5:13pm EmCee: This show is fantastic. I love all the songs.
	5:24pm dale: is this don mcclean singing to his ex-wife?
	5:25pm officina: Another wonderful show Micah.
	👻 5:26pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" WOWOWOW
	5:26pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Jason from Houston @5:26 nee Smith
	5:27pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" Another one that has a Tim Buckley sound to it. At least the first part of the song. Not so much now. And those lyrics...
	5:27pm Andres: Song and version in one go!
	5:27pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" 🤯
	5:27pm Kat in the chat: We have a winner
	5:28pm asheville jon: Mrs bitch sure took some interesting divergences there
	5:28pm dale: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" the second movement/psych freakout was kinda unnecessary.
	5:30pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "I'm Trying" by "Legend" J Mascis with a time machine
	5:30pm San Pedro Girl: Micah, where do you find these gems?
	5:31pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @5:30 Right?
	5:32pm Andres: ↳ Song: "I'm Trying" by "Legend" Big Star vibe?
	5:32pm sinner: Really interesting show. Thank you. The Crystal Webb track blew me away.
	5:32pm slugluv1313: ↳ dale @5:24 😹😹😹
	5:32pm Dan S: Micah, this has been a brilliantly sad show. I've loved almost all of these songs. However, there is just so much I can take in one sitting, so I may leave a bit early. Perhaps I'll later catch the parts I missed, from the Archive.
	5:34pm chresti: Depresso core
	5:36pm Juli P: Having a really difficult day emotionally
	5:36pm micah: ↳ Juli P @5:36 girl, same.
	5:36pm Kevin-san: John_Belushi_Smashing_Acoustic_Guitar_Against_Wall dot gif
	👻 5:37pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Person" by "Aaron Fleming" Restraining order time...
	5:37pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Person" by "Aaron Fleming" WOW i love how he is "fitting" the lyrics into the music
	5:39pm Juli P: I feel like I need to get it together: Humans should never fall in love: What a dum dum I am On top offing in love w others who love me not The world is dark Trying to stay a light
	5:39pm slugluv1313: ↳ chresti @5:34 hi chresti! right?!? who needs "emo" when you have these joyful ditties!
	5:39pm Juli P: Horribly dark rn.
	5:39pm slugluv1313: ↳ Jason from Houston @5:37 😹😹😹
	5:40pm ∫ydniuß: gotta run lovely somber 4th Micah ty!
	5:40pm micah: ↳ Juli P @5:39 Im so sorry Juli. yes. the world is very dark.
	5:41pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Anthem" by "Lonnie Knight" his heart has blisters?
	5:43pm ?: ↳ chresti @5:41 yes, herpes
	5:44pm slugluv1313: ↳ Juli P @5:39 i am not going to give you phony cheerleader crap like "sending you love and light" -- but i DO want you to feel better! and send "positive energy" your way (corny as that sounds) the world is dark indeed, but the WFMU family/universe is true love
	5:45pm dale: ↳ Song: "Anthem" by "Lonnie Knight" micah, have you ever played meadow, the xian band that laura branigan was in? their album 'the friend ship' has some really great stuff.
	5:45pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "Peace, Bread & Land Band" is this a Music of Mind Control "cross over"?!?
	5:47pm 70MilesOut: ↳ Juli P @5:39 I'm really sorry to hear that, Juli. When I feel like that way, I like to tell myself "This too shall pass." It won't last forever. Hope it turns for you soon.
	5:47pm WallCharger: ↳ dale @5:45 Hahaha! We need to hear this
	5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Juli P @5:39 If mental imagery is helpful, think of WFMU as an expanding light that overcomes the darkness. Repeat or expand if needed.
	5:50pm ?: ↳ slugluv1313 @5:37 My boy squeezle looks just like your kitty
	5:52pm slugluv1313: ↳ @5:50 awwww please cuddle him for me 🐈‍⬛🖤 (that is my Chubby Little BRADY -- i love him and miss him so much)
	5:53pm dale: ↳ WallCharger @5:47 found it at a salvay and was delightfully surprised. www.discogs.com...
	5:54pm katharsis: Thanks all. has been depressively uplifting being with you. looking for my thunder shirt and somewhere to hide before it gets dark. Take care radio friends.

	3:40pm chresti: ↳ Jason from Houston @3:22 Oh yes, in La Puente, where Franco's family home is, last year (illegal) fireworks were being launched over us in the backyard, and in the street all night!
	3:40pm Jeff Moore: This is a lovely and perfect show for today. I hope my saying something positive doesn't burn like acid!
	3:44pm traven: ↳ chresti @3:40 Dear Lady, are fireworks illegal in the Golden State? They are mine. . . . not so you'd notice. .

	3:46pm Kat in the chat: Wait, what’s Annette Peacock doing on this playlist
	3:46pm chresti: ↳ traven @3:44 So they say...
	3:49pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ chresti @3:40 I still live in Chinatown, ground zero for all kinds of fireworks—mostly illegal.
	👻 3:51pm Jason from Houston: ↳ chresti @3:40 Just a few where I am. And then there was the 6 a.m. fireworks last year. LOL My friend lives about three miles away and it's total chaos there.
	3:52pm ?: ↳ slugluv1313 @3:44 @slug ... just one of my fave tunes of all time, otherwise would have missed it.
	3:52pm traven: ↳ chresti @3:46 Last week I heard on the news radio that some poor bastard got his left hand completely blown off, and also lost a fingers of his right hand. And he was in his fifties. Go figure . . .
	3:53pm San Pedro Girl: Micah, you’ve really nailed it, apparently having dug up the most depressing, unheard ballads of that period. We thought times were dark then. Ha!
	3:55pm Kat in the chat: I live about a mile from the site of the Wawa-sponsored July 4th concert (Ne-Yo and Kesha this year) and fireworks. I might drag a camp chair to the vicinity around fireworks time.
	3:55pm ∫ydniuß: A meloncholy 4th to all! lovin it Micah
	3:55pm Kat in the chat: (this is in Philly)
	3:55pm ∫ydniuß: watermeloncholy for everybody
	3:58pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ traven @3:52 It turns out that lighting explosives for fun can misfire and maim people. Who knew?
	3:59pm dale: ↳ traven @3:52 he'll never masturbate again. which puts him in god's light so it was really a blessing.
	4:01pm pp: precursor to Beta Band vocal stylings.
	4:01pm traven: ↳ San Pedro Girl @3:58 As the old saying goes, one who insists on playing with matches, one will eventually get burned.
	4:02pm chresti: ↳ San Pedro Girl @3:49 Ah yes, lunar new year in San Gabriel is the same
	4:06pm PaulRobeson1924: & she was beside me
	4:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ chresti @4:02 Downer folk fest ’24! The sad songs you never heard because the musicians were too depressed to tour or promote their work.
	4:09pm dale: ↳ Song: "Song for the Only" by "Twilight Nuages" the band was rehearsing procol harum, for sure.
	4:10pm San Pedro Girl: @ Chresti, that was a general comment—not directed at you. ;)
	4:16pm dale: ↳ Song: "Be My Song/Cant Stop Believing" by "Tami Osborne" some big production on this one. dan hill -worthy production.
	4:24pm San Pedro Girl: Three cheers for the red white and blue!! We’re having daytime fireworks here in downtown SF. Woohoo! 🎇
	4:32pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "Song to Barbara" by "Rain" Sounding a bit like a miserable version of Caravan. Loving the show though Micah, great to have you on air today.
	4:32pm james from bayonne: Fantastic set Micah
	4:32pm PaulRobeson1924: What happened to the nice music
	4:32pm chresti: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:10 Got it :)
	4:34pm ?: death to america
	4:34pm PaulRobeson1924: Death Call like a ringing in my ear and you know it’s a shame and a pitty yer raised up in the city and never learned nothin’ bout county ways ooh
	4:35pm Christy D: Amen
	4:35pm PaulRobeson1924: FREEDOM! Liberty! COME AND TAKE IT! “I’m GOING TO STAY HERE AND HAVE A PART OF IT JUST LIKE YOU AND NO FACIST MINDED PERSON IS GOING TO DRIVE ME FROM IT! Is that clear?”
	4:37pm chresti: Any drowning in my beer songs?
	4:37pm Dan S: The only problem with doing such melancholy music for this 4th of July is, what can you do to top it next year? Especially if the Presidential election goes the wrong way, as it's now looking it probably will. Well, let's look at the bright side: Maybe you-know-who, if he's elected, will blow up the world before next July 4th.
	4:37pm PaulRobeson1924: We are the shining city upon the hill. baby? My story is America. COME AND TAKE IT
	4:38pm micah: ↳ Dan S @4:37 exactly. next year ill be forced to play only patriotic anthems. with a gun to my head
	4:38pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Dan S @4:37 There are institutions that can help you, Dan. Mid island Psyc center. Mid Hudson.
	4:39pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:35 I do like that defiant quote from your namesake.
	4:39pm ?: maybe he'll die of natural causes before the election.
	4:40pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:38 I don't feel up to traveling right now.
	4:40pm micah: ↳ @4:39 theres nothing natural about him. He'll "live" forever
	4:40pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Dan S @4:39 Dan. In my view You’re insane. Insane writing about blowing up the world.
	4:41pm Dan S: ↳ @4:39 The one thing that could make me think there is a God and He cares about humanity.
	4:42pm PaulRobeson1924: I’m just playing! You’re Probably OK, Dan. Just stay away from Mr.Ken’s show or yer on the fast track to the asylum
	4:43pm PaulRobeson1924: Mid Hudson. They can help you. They want to help you
	4:43pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:42 I love Ken's show, of course.
	4:45pm Dan S: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:43 Is there really a Cherry Blossom Clinic, like in the song by The Move? That's where I'd like to go. :)
	4:45pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ micah @4:40 Evil does not naturally dwell in the world. In events or in people. Evil is a byproduct of forgetfulness and laziness and so on. When we remember our true aim… we overcome. There is this potential in everyone no matter what
	4:45pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:43 here I put Morisson Hotel on have some green tea
	4:46pm PaulRobeson1924: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:45 Thank you, so so much. Gosh
	👻 4:48pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Old Men" by "Ragged Robins" Niiiiiiiice one...
	4:49pm Dan S: Micah, these are great, beautiful, sad songs. Depressing even by my standards, though.
	4:50pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:46 you’re very welcome I also brought sparklers and maybe an M80
	4:54pm slugluv1313: ↳ micah @4:40 agreed -- it will get whatever -- preservatives, etc. -- injected to perpetuate its existence (and its cult will continue to see it as "God" . . . geez, talk about "false idols"!!!)
	4:57pm ?: Valse Idle
	4:57pm slugluv1313: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @4:45 true -- even in humans, infants are born totally innocent, uncorrupted, basically as perfect as other species -- they only learn to be evil from other humans
	4:57pm ∫ydniuß: P403 low idle
	4:58pm asheville jon: Yay, Micah!!
	4:58pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Wellington Tang" by "Ron Moore" ooooo kinda Tim Buckley vibes? really enjoying your show, Micah

	5:25pm officina: Another wonderful show Micah.
	👻 5:26pm Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" WOWOWOW
	5:26pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Jason from Houston @5:26 nee Smith
	5:27pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" Another one that has a Tim Buckley sound to it. At least the first part of the song. Not so much now. And those lyrics...
	5:27pm Andres: Song and version in one go!
	5:27pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" 🤯
	5:27pm Kat in the chat: We have a winner
	5:28pm asheville jon: Mrs bitch sure took some interesting divergences there
	5:28pm dale: ↳ Song: "Mrs. Bitch" by "Randy Rice" the second movement/psych freakout was kinda unnecessary.
	5:30pm the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "I'm Trying" by "Legend" J Mascis with a time machine
	5:30pm San Pedro Girl: Micah, where do you find these gems?
	5:31pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @5:30 Right?
	5:32pm Andres: ↳ Song: "I'm Trying" by "Legend" Big Star vibe?
	5:32pm sinner: Really interesting show. Thank you. The Crystal Webb track blew me away.
	5:32pm slugluv1313: ↳ dale @5:24 😹😹😹
	5:32pm Dan S: Micah, this has been a brilliantly sad show. I've loved almost all of these songs. However, there is just so much I can take in one sitting, so I may leave a bit early. Perhaps I'll later catch the parts I missed, from the Archive.
	5:34pm chresti: Depresso core
	5:36pm Juli P: Having a really difficult day emotionally
	5:36pm micah: ↳ Juli P @5:36 girl, same.

	5:37pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Beautiful Person" by "Aaron Fleming" WOW i love how he is "fitting" the lyrics into the music
	5:39pm Juli P: I feel like I need to get it together: Humans should never fall in love: What a dum dum I am On top offing in love w others who love me not The world is dark Trying to stay a light
	5:39pm slugluv1313: ↳ chresti @5:34 hi chresti! right?!? who needs "emo" when you have these joyful ditties!

	5:39pm slugluv1313: ↳ Jason from Houston @5:37 😹😹😹
	5:40pm ∫ydniuß: gotta run lovely somber 4th Micah ty!
	5:40pm micah: ↳ Juli P @5:39 Im so sorry Juli. yes. the world is very dark.
	5:41pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Anthem" by "Lonnie Knight" his heart has blisters?
	5:43pm ?: ↳ chresti @5:41 yes, herpes
	5:44pm slugluv1313: ↳ Juli P @5:39 i am not going to give you phony cheerleader crap like "sending you love and light" -- but i DO want you to feel better! and send "positive energy" your way (corny as that sounds) the world is dark indeed, but the WFMU family/universe is true love
	5:45pm dale: ↳ Song: "Anthem" by "Lonnie Knight" micah, have you ever played meadow, the xian band that laura branigan was in? their album 'the friend ship' has some really great stuff.
	5:45pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Loneliness" by "Peace, Bread & Land Band" is this a Music of Mind Control "cross over"?!?
	5:47pm 70MilesOut: ↳ Juli P @5:39 I'm really sorry to hear that, Juli. When I feel like that way, I like to tell myself "This too shall pass." It won't last forever. Hope it turns for you soon.
	5:47pm WallCharger: ↳ dale @5:45 Hahaha! We need to hear this
	5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Juli P @5:39 If mental imagery is helpful, think of WFMU as an expanding light that overcomes the darkness. Repeat or expand if needed.
	5:50pm ?: ↳ slugluv1313 @5:37 My boy squeezle looks just like your kitty
	5:52pm slugluv1313: ↳ @5:50 awwww please cuddle him for me 🐈‍⬛🖤 (that is my Chubby Little BRADY -- i love him and miss him so much)
	5:53pm dale: ↳ WallCharger @5:47 found it at a salvay and was delightfully surprised. www.discogs.com...
	5:54pm katharsis: Thanks all. has been depressively uplifting being with you. looking for my thunder shirt and somewhere to hide before it gets dark. Take care radio friends.
