Listener comments!
	9:55pm Mike Lupica: Greetings, good-hearted weirdos. The Starlite Lounge is OPEN and the air conditioning is dialed to "Arctic".
	🥁 10:00pm Yvang: Made it!
	🥁 10:00pm Alex from Media: Hey Mike, Gimme shelter!
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:00 10 points for being punctual!
	🥁 10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hi mike and listeners...
	🥁 10:01pm Yvang: I'll collect them in my points box.
	10:01pm Mike Lupica: How-DEE!
	🥁 10:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Yo Mike, Yvang, Alex, tom tom, folks!
	🥁 10:02pm Alex from Media: Yo Pauly! Yvang! Tom!
	🥁 10:02pm Yvang: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:02 Hiya Mike, Alex, Tom, Pauly, pitcrew!
	🥁 10:03pm Chop Scott: Hooray--Cheers Mike!
	10:04pm Mike Lupica: Point of convo: That black sweatshirt with the red stripe I'm wearing in the pic with CB was purchased in the early 90s. I still have it and wear it all the time and it's still like new. No holes in the armpits, no undone stitching, no stains, no nothin'. It is the most resilient article of clothing I've ever owned.
	🥁 10:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:04 Such are the little pleasures we miss.
	10:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:04 Around five years ago, I saw some guy wearing the exact same sweatshirt at the pharmacy and it took everything I'm made of to NOT walk up to him and start gushing about it because there's no way it wouldn't have been super weird.
	🥁 10:08pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:04 An anticapitalist sweat shirt, maybe manufactured in USSR?
	🥁 10:08pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Devil Glitch" by "Chris Butler" Is that hunker down for the duration line right for today or what?
	🥁 10:08pm Roberto: Oh man, what a date.
	🥁 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: hi yvang...big day tomorrow....err today...
	10:09pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:08 Seems unlikely for the Gap, but who knows!
	🥁 10:10pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 I have a long sleeve bootleg BB King and Bobby Blue Bland concert T I bought outside of the Warner Theater in DC in the late 90s. Also a pair of cargo shorts I bought in the Willowbrook Mall Macy's also late 90s,
	🥁 10:12pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:09 Oh my god... I have had all week a mix of depression and anxiety...
	10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:12 Feelin' that here too, friend.
	🥁 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:12 yeah...storm cloud on the horizon heading to u.s. my sympathies....
	🥁 10:15pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @10:12 Also I have to take a train a bus and a boat just to go vote to my previous city but I wouldn't miss that even though my vote is just a drop in an ocean of diffuse fascism.
	🥁 10:16pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:14 Yes I saw USA had a bad week too around the supreme court.
	🥁 10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:15 We feel the same dread here for November.
	🥁 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: how did the uk turn things around and put labor in amid this global political climate
	10:17pm Mike Lupica: Channel the dread into anger and register young people to vote. They have the most to lose.
	🥁 10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:16 they are gutting the federal government
	🥁 10:18pm Alex from Media: You mean the ones who give up all rights to their personal information to get coupons?
	🥁 10:19pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:16 Because the UK people had them in power for a while and they so obviously sucked.
	🥁 10:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Second Day of Spring" by "Dom Sensitive" NFN but this song is really growing on me.
	🥁 10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:19 i'm still surprised....
	10:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:19 Whole album is killer! Weird departure from Dom's other band (Dom & the Wizards), who sound like Syd-era Pink Floyd.
	🥁 10:20pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:18 Throwing out the Chevron decision was a poorly rendered opinion. The court is fucking it up for everybody.
	🥁 10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:20 except the very rich....
	🥁 10:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:20 I note that on bandcamp this song is not available yet. You got back channels?
	10:22pm Mike Lupica: Best thing I read all week was something like "6-3 will be this country's epitaph".
	🥁 10:22pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:21 Well stated. They have everything to gain.
	🥁 10:25pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Mike Lupica Go Fuck Yourself" by "Bryce" Ah ah ah! Bryce is a funny guy, you can guess it during his mike breaks.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Mike and all
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: the censorship of the internet will be called "The Internet Patriot Act"
	🥁 10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: there's this idea of technological feudalism, for example we are all serf of amazon. the conservative move in politics is also feudalism, power in the hands of a few, i wonder how technological advances have changed humanity in such a way that it's responsible for this political wave...
	🥁 10:30pm Roberto: The Hotwire Manbaby
	🥁 10:32pm Alex from Media: Here's a question. What is the longest song you can fit on a 7" record?
	🥁 10:33pm Yvang: Speaking of Bryce, he kind of the boss for playing long songs on his show.
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:32 hey jude was at least one of the longest, at over 7 minutes
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:32 Not sure, but I have a Robert Fripp single somewhere that's definitely a contender.
	🥁 10:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 hi coelacanth, since i showed some of my work on sam's show, i've been drawing, a few of the results in my profile, if you feel like it take a look. i'm curious what you think considering you saw my old work.... and everybody else welcome to taker a look if you feel like it...
	🥁 10:35pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:34 Mind blown by the concept of a Fripp single. Like some kind of Motown sound but frippertronic.
	🥁 10:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:34 I owned that at one point.
	🥁 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:35 fripp's league of gentleman was dance music
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:35 Maybe I'll play it on next week's singles show. (That is, if I don't get Covid, in which case I'll probably be in bed being a Hotwire Manbaby). That said, I don't remember the Fripp single being particularly good.
	🥁 10:38pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:32 Someone on reddit says the longest song on a 7 inch is this one. The B side is 10:03 www.discogs.com...
	10:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:38 Oh shit, and that's my favorite Bruce song. Must find a copy!
	🥁 10:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:38 Thanks.
	🥁 10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:38 surprised, would have thought springsteen would have hit that mark in his early epics
	🥁 10:40pm Alex from Media: And the live version too.
	10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:40 I've only seen Bruce live once (The "Magic" tour... I think that was 2008?) and was especially floored when "Incident on 57th Street" landed in the setlist.
	10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "The Battle" by "Medasyn feat Lady Sovereign And S... Changing gears slightly, I haven't heard this Medasyn track since at least 2008 and it's just as smokin' as I remember!
	🥁 10:45pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Battle" by "Medasyn feat Lady Sovereign And S... Nother one sucking me in. There's a vortex in the Starlite lounge. I think the disco ball is spinning too fast.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @10:38 ah, probably several minutes of spoken introduction, or something like that that can be squeezed into tiny tiny grooves
	🥁 10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 does pop music today pretty much sound the same as this? like ot hasn't advanced since '08
	10:48pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 It's absolutely smokin'
	10:48pm Mike Lupica: A friend of mine has made the argument that pop is dead because a 50s pop song is noticeably different from a 60s pop song, which is different from a 70s pop song, the same being true for pop songs from the 80s and the 90s as well. But then in the 2000s, innovation just... stopped. So a 2003 pop song sounds just like one from today.
	🥁 10:48pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Battle" by "Medasyn feat Lady Sovereign And S... where you get this? EVen the You tube video says "test pressing"
	10:48pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Hunterian @10:48 Yeah!
	10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:48 Alex, I never kiss and tell. 😉
	🥁 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: haven't heard budgie in a minute...
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:48 i think for the most part that's true but there are exceptions - which will never be played on commercial radio of course.
	10:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:50 Topical for today.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ...so i knew i was just passing through - on my way to work Thanks Mike! tchau
	10:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:51 Peas out, coelacanth∅!
	🥁 10:52pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Hot as a Docker's Armpit" by "Budgie" inaugural goats of the evening 🤘🤘🤘🤘
	🥁 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! have my a/c onand apt. is still 79 degrees
	🥁 10:53pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:51 tchuss coel.
	🥁 10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: see ya coelacanth
	10:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:52 I have a shitty, $99 window AC unit here in the Starlite Lounge set to 66. I shut it off when I go on mic, and I've broken a sweat by the time I'm breaking a sweat by the time I start the next record.
	10:54pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:48 I think it's genre-dependent. I mean, I don't think, e.g., hip-hop has really evolved much (in a positive direction) since Missy Elliott and MF Doom, but that's probably a bias of my g-g-g-generation…
	10:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:53 Err, ignore the typos in that comment. Got distracted, you know what I mean.
	🥁 10:55pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:54 Looks like that comment skipped on a groove.
	🥁 10:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Hunterian @10:54 That point was made in a recent article about meldoic simplicty thats ocurring, that there are other forms of complexity that are taking it's place. And rap was mentioned as not included in the analysis due to the difficulty of assigning melody or hamrony.
	10:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Hunterian @10:54 That's fair, as least as far as mainstream stuff goes. (And I do love Missy Elliott... probably a hair more tham MF Doom, TBH). But there's a lot of super messed-up underground stuff still happening that I think speaks to the genre's experimental roots.
	🥁 10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:54 yes, all typos excused for flop sweat tonight...
	🥁 10:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:56 i saw that headline...
	11:00pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:56 Yes, well of course once you start talking "underground" stuff, pretty much every show on this station provides evidence against the notion that pop music broadly construed hasn't evolved much in the past 20 years. I think there's lots of great new music, just not what counts for mainstream pop these days. I think we're basically agreeing…
	🥁 11:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:56 sounds like the more important parts of ourselves, our internal lives, are being dumbed down
	🥁 11:01pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:00 Another weakness of the argument is that pop music today is only one genre whereas the other data were multiple genres grouped as pop at the time. eg philadelphia sound surf motown
	🥁 11:01pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:00 reminds me my beer glass is empty
	11:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Hunterian @11:00 For sure. The stuff my 14 y/o kid likes is much cooler than ... Huey Lewis and the News, or whatever 80s dreck was stinkin' up the airwaves in my teens.
	🥁 11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:01 yes good old democratic am radio
	11:03pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:01 Ab-so-lutely
	🥁 11:05pm Alex from Media: True confessions. I saw Huey Lewis at the Olympic arena in Munich in like '88. not bad live. true of all music.
	11:05pm StringOFperils: I used 'hotter than snot in a skillet' a while back. The receiver was nonplussed.
	🥁 11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike ....or did they say, "dockers...armpits....but dockers are pants?"
	🥁 11:06pm Alex from Media: "Happy as pig in shit" is one of my faves
	11:09pm StringOFperils: Double bummer. Show still sounds impressive.
	🥁 11:09pm tom tom the pipers son: my grandmother used to say "drunk as a fiddler's bitch"
	11:09pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:05 Ha! I don't know that one, but I'm totally stealin' it!
	11:10pm StringOFperils: Please. May it serve you well.
	🥁 11:10pm Alex from Media: another fave "tight as a crab's ass"
	🥁 11:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 thats good! I'll let you know if I get there tonight.
	🥁 11:12pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @11:10 That really good. I need to use that at work. My opening play for Monday's staff meeting. Thanks!
	🥁 11:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:12 My dad used it in reference to cheapness.
	11:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:06 Perhaps the best-ever example of why apostrophes matter.
	🥁 11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:11 a little dorothy parker or bette davis...
	🥁 11:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:15 doppelbock actually
	11:17pm StringOFperils: Ha Ha ha. I like the message on the back of this record: WARNING.This record is very powerful and could give you earhole damage.
	🥁 11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:16 doppelbock? is that what you're drinking.....
	🥁 11:19pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @11:13 Got it...I'm gonna use it in terms of neuroses.
	11:19pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:17 My earholes are totally victim to High Speed and the Afflicted Man!
	🥁 11:20pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 Last bottle of my 2023 batch. Only got third place in a contest but the judges were obviously underqualified.
	🥁 11:20pm Alex from Media: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:19 That works
	🥁 11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:20 oh, home brewed...nice
	🥁 11:27pm Alex from Media: 🤘🤘🤘ca plane pour moi?
	11:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:27 Better, the (extremely dirty) song that inspired it!
	🥁 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: @all...thanks for your silence regarding drawings, i honestly appreciate it...i'm looking at them with clearer eyes now... it was a malformed idea from the start i think...
	🥁 11:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:27 that just makes it funnier
	11:29pm northguineahills: just ingested chili. might fall <carrier lost>
	11:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Jet Boy Jet Girl" by "Elton Motello" Have to hear the rest of this album some day. Oddly....haven't.
	11:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:31 It's great! Super fun party record!
	11:33pm StringOFperils: Well, this song gets better every year, that's all I know.
	11:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:32 my housemate says hi!
	🥁 11:34pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Bryllyant" by "Boytronic" headphone time
	11:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 I've seen this song start fires on a dancefloor.
	11:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 Hi back!
	11:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:36 Elton Motello -- the great equalizer.
	🥁 11:37pm Chop Scott: Always great to hear the Starlite Lounge pumping out strong!
	🥁 11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ahh. i'm nodding off ...good night folks...
	🥁 11:40pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 cheers tom!
	11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:37 WE COMPREHEND YOUR POTATO, SCOTT.
	11:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 See ya Tom!
	🥁 11:42pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 'Night tom! BTW, I liked the art. Needed to tend to the cats tho. Don't wanna get cut in my sleep.
	11:42pm Ike: Where can I get Bryce’s Greatest Hits Vol. 1? Tower Records?
	11:44pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @11:42 Limited Edition picture disc, Ike. Try Discogs.😉
	🥁 11:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "13th Looking South" by "Eat Lights, Become Lights" super gif/song match Mike.
	11:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:44 My 3rd bottle of Fin du Monde agrees!
	🥁 11:46pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:45 talked me into it.
	11:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "13th Looking South" by "Eat Lights, Become Lights" reminds me of fuck buttons, but more kosmische!
	11:48pm Mike Lupica: I have somehow never heard Fuckbuttons but I love their name, as long as it is a thinly-veiled reference to broadcast studio "dump" buttons meant to excise naughty words from the FCC-monitored airwaves.
	11:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:48 basically, they were a noise techno group, that also went krautrocky.....
	11:49pm StringOFperils: Sounds like a great name for a flower.
	11:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "13th Looking South" by "Eat Lights, Become Lights" also new to me, and digdug!
	🥁 11:51pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:48 I was listening when you installed and tested such a button on another stream. Kind of a fun episode.
	11:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:51 There's a great episode of Seven Second Delay in which Ken and Andy abuse the fuckbutton. I'm sure that was part of the inspiration.
	🥁 11:54pm Chop Scott: I remember crewing at Primavera for the broadcast with Fuckbuttons...
	11:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:54 Oh how I wish I could've gone with you guys to that. I really picked the wrong year to get laid off!
	🥁 11:59pm Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:57 Ah--but you were there with us for the ATP broadcast at Kutschers!
	12:00am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Sun" by "Hefferman & Park" diggery ensuing!
	12:01am Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @12:00 This is yet another project of Olli Hefferman, aka Ivan the Tolerable, who's put out some of the best records of recent memory.
	12:02am northguineahills: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:01 oh, cool, thanks for the info. Ivan the tolerable is one of the best artist names to come out in the last three years.
	🥁 12:11am Alex from Media: I did see La Jetee in film class. I liked that better.
	12:12am Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @12:02 Agree! And they are maddeningly prolific. Too much to keep up with, and it's all great!
	12:12am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:11 Same.
	12:14am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:12 Though 12 Monkeys is one of my favorite movies which I can watch over and over again.
	🥁 12:25am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "La Jetée" by "Chris Marker" My German is not very complete, which makes the half understood whisperings even more ominous.
	12:25am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:14 Highly recommended: the 12 Monkeys documentary "The Hamster Factor"
	12:26am northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @12:25 don't get me started on my Dutch (too in the middle b/tn German and English)
	🥁 12:27am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:25 book marked for future consumption.
	12:29am Mike Lupica: By the way, this is the worst-ever forward promote for next week's Swingin' Summer Singles Show, which will be all 7" records clocking in at 2-4 minutes/side.
	🥁 12:32am Alex from Media: ↳ northguineahills @12:26 Not a lot of opportunity to practice this side of the pond.
	12:33am northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @12:32 only on film and tv series for me...
	🥁 12:33am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:29 I begin to dread the prospect of Captain and Tenille.
	🥁 12:45am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Clive Buckledown" by "Plasmodium" reminds me of Pulp Weeds II
	12:46am northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @12:45 wait, jarvis cocker did 'weeds'? danks a doodle, mike off to sleep soonish!
	🥁 12:47am Chop Scott: Mike--very best wishes and hope that the current house situation settles, and passes for everyone in your brood.
	🥁 12:50am Alex from Media: ↳ northguineahills @12:46 I reckon so. G'night NGH (and mystery house mate)
	12:50am Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @12:47 Thanks, Scott. Amazing what passes for normal nowadays, but point taken and well-wishes appreciated and reciprocated.
	🥁 12:51am Alex from Media: Thanks Mike you hit it on the head 2nite. Best of health to all in the homestead.
	12:56am StringOFperils: Thanks, Mike!
	🥁 12:56am Yvang: Thanks Mike! Fingers crossed for the covid situation. I always have that concern, I take public transportation.
	12:56am Ike: How could you forget the gorgeous Madeleine Stowe, also known for classing up the truly moronic Unlawful Entry (1992), w/Ray Liotta and Kurt Russell?

Listener comments!
	9:55pm Mike Lupica: Greetings, good-hearted weirdos. The Starlite Lounge is OPEN and the air conditioning is dialed to "Arctic".
	🥁 10:00pm Yvang: Made it!
	🥁 10:00pm Alex from Media: Hey Mike, Gimme shelter!
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:00 10 points for being punctual!
	🥁 10:01pm tom tom the pipers son: hi mike and listeners...
	🥁 10:01pm Yvang: I'll collect them in my points box.
	10:01pm Mike Lupica: How-DEE!
	🥁 10:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Yo Mike, Yvang, Alex, tom tom, folks!
	🥁 10:02pm Alex from Media: Yo Pauly! Yvang! Tom!
	🥁 10:02pm Yvang: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:02 Hiya Mike, Alex, Tom, Pauly, pitcrew!
	🥁 10:03pm Chop Scott: Hooray--Cheers Mike!
	10:04pm Mike Lupica: Point of convo: That black sweatshirt with the red stripe I'm wearing in the pic with CB was purchased in the early 90s. I still have it and wear it all the time and it's still like new. No holes in the armpits, no undone stitching, no stains, no nothin'. It is the most resilient article of clothing I've ever owned.
	🥁 10:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:04 Such are the little pleasures we miss.
	10:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:04 Around five years ago, I saw some guy wearing the exact same sweatshirt at the pharmacy and it took everything I'm made of to NOT walk up to him and start gushing about it because there's no way it wouldn't have been super weird.
	🥁 10:08pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:04 An anticapitalist sweat shirt, maybe manufactured in USSR?
	🥁 10:08pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Devil Glitch" by "Chris Butler" Is that hunker down for the duration line right for today or what?
	🥁 10:08pm Roberto: Oh man, what a date.
	🥁 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: hi yvang...big day tomorrow....err today...
	10:09pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:08 Seems unlikely for the Gap, but who knows!
	🥁 10:10pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 I have a long sleeve bootleg BB King and Bobby Blue Bland concert T I bought outside of the Warner Theater in DC in the late 90s. Also a pair of cargo shorts I bought in the Willowbrook Mall Macy's also late 90s,
	🥁 10:12pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:09 Oh my god... I have had all week a mix of depression and anxiety...
	10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:12 Feelin' that here too, friend.
	🥁 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:12 yeah...storm cloud on the horizon heading to u.s. my sympathies....
	🥁 10:15pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @10:12 Also I have to take a train a bus and a boat just to go vote to my previous city but I wouldn't miss that even though my vote is just a drop in an ocean of diffuse fascism.
	🥁 10:16pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:14 Yes I saw USA had a bad week too around the supreme court.
	🥁 10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:15 We feel the same dread here for November.
	🥁 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: how did the uk turn things around and put labor in amid this global political climate
	10:17pm Mike Lupica: Channel the dread into anger and register young people to vote. They have the most to lose.
	🥁 10:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:16 they are gutting the federal government
	🥁 10:18pm Alex from Media: You mean the ones who give up all rights to their personal information to get coupons?
	🥁 10:19pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:16 Because the UK people had them in power for a while and they so obviously sucked.
	🥁 10:19pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Second Day of Spring" by "Dom Sensitive" NFN but this song is really growing on me.
	🥁 10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:19 i'm still surprised....
	10:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:19 Whole album is killer! Weird departure from Dom's other band (Dom & the Wizards), who sound like Syd-era Pink Floyd.
	🥁 10:20pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:18 Throwing out the Chevron decision was a poorly rendered opinion. The court is fucking it up for everybody.
	🥁 10:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:20 except the very rich....
	🥁 10:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:20 I note that on bandcamp this song is not available yet. You got back channels?
	10:22pm Mike Lupica: Best thing I read all week was something like "6-3 will be this country's epitaph".
	🥁 10:22pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:21 Well stated. They have everything to gain.
	🥁 10:25pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Mike Lupica Go Fuck Yourself" by "Bryce" Ah ah ah! Bryce is a funny guy, you can guess it during his mike breaks.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Mike and all
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: the censorship of the internet will be called "The Internet Patriot Act"
	🥁 10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: there's this idea of technological feudalism, for example we are all serf of amazon. the conservative move in politics is also feudalism, power in the hands of a few, i wonder how technological advances have changed humanity in such a way that it's responsible for this political wave...
	🥁 10:30pm Roberto: The Hotwire Manbaby
	🥁 10:32pm Alex from Media: Here's a question. What is the longest song you can fit on a 7" record?
	🥁 10:33pm Yvang: Speaking of Bryce, he kind of the boss for playing long songs on his show.
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @10:32 hey jude was at least one of the longest, at over 7 minutes
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:32 Not sure, but I have a Robert Fripp single somewhere that's definitely a contender.
	🥁 10:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 hi coelacanth, since i showed some of my work on sam's show, i've been drawing, a few of the results in my profile, if you feel like it take a look. i'm curious what you think considering you saw my old work.... and everybody else welcome to taker a look if you feel like it...
	🥁 10:35pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:34 Mind blown by the concept of a Fripp single. Like some kind of Motown sound but frippertronic.
	🥁 10:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:34 I owned that at one point.
	🥁 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:35 fripp's league of gentleman was dance music
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:35 Maybe I'll play it on next week's singles show. (That is, if I don't get Covid, in which case I'll probably be in bed being a Hotwire Manbaby). That said, I don't remember the Fripp single being particularly good.
	🥁 10:38pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:32 Someone on reddit says the longest song on a 7 inch is this one. The B side is 10:03 www.discogs.com...
	10:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:38 Oh shit, and that's my favorite Bruce song. Must find a copy!
	🥁 10:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:38 Thanks.
	🥁 10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:38 surprised, would have thought springsteen would have hit that mark in his early epics
	🥁 10:40pm Alex from Media: And the live version too.
	10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:40 I've only seen Bruce live once (The "Magic" tour... I think that was 2008?) and was especially floored when "Incident on 57th Street" landed in the setlist.
	10:43pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "The Battle" by "Medasyn feat Lady Sovereign And S... Changing gears slightly, I haven't heard this Medasyn track since at least 2008 and it's just as smokin' as I remember!
	🥁 10:45pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Battle" by "Medasyn feat Lady Sovereign And S... Nother one sucking me in. There's a vortex in the Starlite lounge. I think the disco ball is spinning too fast.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Yvang @10:38 ah, probably several minutes of spoken introduction, or something like that that can be squeezed into tiny tiny grooves
	🥁 10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 does pop music today pretty much sound the same as this? like ot hasn't advanced since '08
	10:48pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:43 It's absolutely smokin'
	10:48pm Mike Lupica: A friend of mine has made the argument that pop is dead because a 50s pop song is noticeably different from a 60s pop song, which is different from a 70s pop song, the same being true for pop songs from the 80s and the 90s as well. But then in the 2000s, innovation just... stopped. So a 2003 pop song sounds just like one from today.
	🥁 10:48pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "The Battle" by "Medasyn feat Lady Sovereign And S... where you get this? EVen the You tube video says "test pressing"
	10:48pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Hunterian @10:48 Yeah!
	10:49pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:48 Alex, I never kiss and tell. 😉
	🥁 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: haven't heard budgie in a minute...
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:48 i think for the most part that's true but there are exceptions - which will never be played on commercial radio of course.
	10:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:50 Topical for today.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ...so i knew i was just passing through - on my way to work Thanks Mike! tchau
	10:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:51 Peas out, coelacanth∅!
	🥁 10:52pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Hot as a Docker's Armpit" by "Budgie" inaugural goats of the evening 🤘🤘🤘🤘
	🥁 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! have my a/c onand apt. is still 79 degrees
	🥁 10:53pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:51 tchuss coel.
	🥁 10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: see ya coelacanth
	10:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:52 I have a shitty, $99 window AC unit here in the Starlite Lounge set to 66. I shut it off when I go on mic, and I've broken a sweat by the time I'm breaking a sweat by the time I start the next record.
	10:54pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:48 I think it's genre-dependent. I mean, I don't think, e.g., hip-hop has really evolved much (in a positive direction) since Missy Elliott and MF Doom, but that's probably a bias of my g-g-g-generation…
	10:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:53 Err, ignore the typos in that comment. Got distracted, you know what I mean.
	🥁 10:55pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:54 Looks like that comment skipped on a groove.
	🥁 10:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Hunterian @10:54 That point was made in a recent article about meldoic simplicty thats ocurring, that there are other forms of complexity that are taking it's place. And rap was mentioned as not included in the analysis due to the difficulty of assigning melody or hamrony.
	10:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Hunterian @10:54 That's fair, as least as far as mainstream stuff goes. (And I do love Missy Elliott... probably a hair more tham MF Doom, TBH). But there's a lot of super messed-up underground stuff still happening that I think speaks to the genre's experimental roots.
	🥁 10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:54 yes, all typos excused for flop sweat tonight...
	🥁 10:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:56 i saw that headline...
	11:00pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:56 Yes, well of course once you start talking "underground" stuff, pretty much every show on this station provides evidence against the notion that pop music broadly construed hasn't evolved much in the past 20 years. I think there's lots of great new music, just not what counts for mainstream pop these days. I think we're basically agreeing…
	🥁 11:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:56 sounds like the more important parts of ourselves, our internal lives, are being dumbed down
	🥁 11:01pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:00 Another weakness of the argument is that pop music today is only one genre whereas the other data were multiple genres grouped as pop at the time. eg philadelphia sound surf motown
	🥁 11:01pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:00 reminds me my beer glass is empty
	11:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Hunterian @11:00 For sure. The stuff my 14 y/o kid likes is much cooler than ... Huey Lewis and the News, or whatever 80s dreck was stinkin' up the airwaves in my teens.
	🥁 11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:01 yes good old democratic am radio
	11:03pm Hunterian: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:01 Ab-so-lutely
	🥁 11:05pm Alex from Media: True confessions. I saw Huey Lewis at the Olympic arena in Munich in like '88. not bad live. true of all music.
	11:05pm StringOFperils: I used 'hotter than snot in a skillet' a while back. The receiver was nonplussed.
	🥁 11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: @ mike ....or did they say, "dockers...armpits....but dockers are pants?"
	🥁 11:06pm Alex from Media: "Happy as pig in shit" is one of my faves
	11:09pm StringOFperils: Double bummer. Show still sounds impressive.
	🥁 11:09pm tom tom the pipers son: my grandmother used to say "drunk as a fiddler's bitch"
	11:09pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:05 Ha! I don't know that one, but I'm totally stealin' it!
	11:10pm StringOFperils: Please. May it serve you well.
	🥁 11:10pm Alex from Media: another fave "tight as a crab's ass"
	🥁 11:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 thats good! I'll let you know if I get there tonight.
	🥁 11:12pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @11:10 That really good. I need to use that at work. My opening play for Monday's staff meeting. Thanks!
	🥁 11:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:12 My dad used it in reference to cheapness.
	11:15pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:06 Perhaps the best-ever example of why apostrophes matter.
	🥁 11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:11 a little dorothy parker or bette davis...
	🥁 11:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:15 doppelbock actually
	11:17pm StringOFperils: Ha Ha ha. I like the message on the back of this record: WARNING.This record is very powerful and could give you earhole damage.
	🥁 11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:16 doppelbock? is that what you're drinking.....
	🥁 11:19pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Alex from Media @11:13 Got it...I'm gonna use it in terms of neuroses.
	11:19pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:17 My earholes are totally victim to High Speed and the Afflicted Man!
	🥁 11:20pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 Last bottle of my 2023 batch. Only got third place in a contest but the judges were obviously underqualified.
	🥁 11:20pm Alex from Media: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @11:19 That works
	🥁 11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @11:20 oh, home brewed...nice
	🥁 11:27pm Alex from Media: 🤘🤘🤘ca plane pour moi?
	11:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:27 Better, the (extremely dirty) song that inspired it!
	🥁 11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: @all...thanks for your silence regarding drawings, i honestly appreciate it...i'm looking at them with clearer eyes now... it was a malformed idea from the start i think...
	🥁 11:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:27 that just makes it funnier
	11:29pm northguineahills: just ingested chili. might fall <carrier lost>
	11:31pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Jet Boy Jet Girl" by "Elton Motello" Have to hear the rest of this album some day. Oddly....haven't.
	11:32pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @11:31 It's great! Super fun party record!
	11:33pm StringOFperils: Well, this song gets better every year, that's all I know.
	11:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:32 my housemate says hi!
	🥁 11:34pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Bryllyant" by "Boytronic" headphone time
	11:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 I've seen this song start fires on a dancefloor.
	11:36pm Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 Hi back!
	11:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:36 Elton Motello -- the great equalizer.
	🥁 11:37pm Chop Scott: Always great to hear the Starlite Lounge pumping out strong!
	🥁 11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ahh. i'm nodding off ...good night folks...
	🥁 11:40pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 cheers tom!
	11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:37 WE COMPREHEND YOUR POTATO, SCOTT.
	11:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 See ya Tom!
	🥁 11:42pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 'Night tom! BTW, I liked the art. Needed to tend to the cats tho. Don't wanna get cut in my sleep.
	11:42pm Ike: Where can I get Bryce’s Greatest Hits Vol. 1? Tower Records?
	11:44pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @11:42 Limited Edition picture disc, Ike. Try Discogs.😉
	🥁 11:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "13th Looking South" by "Eat Lights, Become Lights" super gif/song match Mike.
	11:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:44 My 3rd bottle of Fin du Monde agrees!
	🥁 11:46pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:45 talked me into it.
	11:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "13th Looking South" by "Eat Lights, Become Lights" reminds me of fuck buttons, but more kosmische!
	11:48pm Mike Lupica: I have somehow never heard Fuckbuttons but I love their name, as long as it is a thinly-veiled reference to broadcast studio "dump" buttons meant to excise naughty words from the FCC-monitored airwaves.
	11:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:48 basically, they were a noise techno group, that also went krautrocky.....
	11:49pm StringOFperils: Sounds like a great name for a flower.
	11:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "13th Looking South" by "Eat Lights, Become Lights" also new to me, and digdug!
	🥁 11:51pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:48 I was listening when you installed and tested such a button on another stream. Kind of a fun episode.
	11:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:51 There's a great episode of Seven Second Delay in which Ken and Andy abuse the fuckbutton. I'm sure that was part of the inspiration.
	🥁 11:54pm Chop Scott: I remember crewing at Primavera for the broadcast with Fuckbuttons...
	11:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:54 Oh how I wish I could've gone with you guys to that. I really picked the wrong year to get laid off!
	🥁 11:59pm Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:57 Ah--but you were there with us for the ATP broadcast at Kutschers!
	12:00am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Sun" by "Hefferman & Park" diggery ensuing!
	12:01am Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @12:00 This is yet another project of Olli Hefferman, aka Ivan the Tolerable, who's put out some of the best records of recent memory.
	12:02am northguineahills: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:01 oh, cool, thanks for the info. Ivan the tolerable is one of the best artist names to come out in the last three years.
	🥁 12:11am Alex from Media: I did see La Jetee in film class. I liked that better.
	12:12am Mike Lupica: ↳ northguineahills @12:02 Agree! And they are maddeningly prolific. Too much to keep up with, and it's all great!
	12:12am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:11 Same.
	12:14am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:12 Though 12 Monkeys is one of my favorite movies which I can watch over and over again.
	🥁 12:25am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "La Jetée" by "Chris Marker" My German is not very complete, which makes the half understood whisperings even more ominous.
	12:25am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:14 Highly recommended: the 12 Monkeys documentary "The Hamster Factor"
	12:26am northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @12:25 don't get me started on my Dutch (too in the middle b/tn German and English)
	🥁 12:27am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:25 book marked for future consumption.
	12:29am Mike Lupica: By the way, this is the worst-ever forward promote for next week's Swingin' Summer Singles Show, which will be all 7" records clocking in at 2-4 minutes/side.
	🥁 12:32am Alex from Media: ↳ northguineahills @12:26 Not a lot of opportunity to practice this side of the pond.
	12:33am northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @12:32 only on film and tv series for me...
	🥁 12:33am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:29 I begin to dread the prospect of Captain and Tenille.
	🥁 12:45am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Clive Buckledown" by "Plasmodium" reminds me of Pulp Weeds II
	12:46am northguineahills: ↳ Alex from Media @12:45 wait, jarvis cocker did 'weeds'? danks a doodle, mike off to sleep soonish!
	🥁 12:47am Chop Scott: Mike--very best wishes and hope that the current house situation settles, and passes for everyone in your brood.
	🥁 12:50am Alex from Media: ↳ northguineahills @12:46 I reckon so. G'night NGH (and mystery house mate)
	12:50am Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @12:47 Thanks, Scott. Amazing what passes for normal nowadays, but point taken and well-wishes appreciated and reciprocated.
	🥁 12:51am Alex from Media: Thanks Mike you hit it on the head 2nite. Best of health to all in the homestead.
	12:56am StringOFperils: Thanks, Mike!
	🥁 12:56am Yvang: Thanks Mike! Fingers crossed for the covid situation. I always have that concern, I take public transportation.
	12:56am Ike: How could you forget the gorgeous Madeleine Stowe, also known for classing up the truly moronic Unlawful Entry (1992), w/Ray Liotta and Kurt Russell?
