	12:28pm MHLee: The homemade soul guys fascinate me as a genre

	12:35pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Welcome 2 The Earth Its Really Massive (Live at W... WELCOME TO THE EARTH IT'S REALLY MASSIIIIIIVE!
	12:36pm Miss Mei: Indecisive little me. I've been replacing songs later on in the playlist with others. I can't get enough!
	12:37pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Welcome 2 The Earth Its Really Massive (Live at W... This song feels like it's been on an hour
	12:37pm shae: oh yeah absolutely
	12:42pm Mr Fab: Live at THE Whiskey a Go Go? Or just A Whiskey a Go Go?
	12:44pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @12:42 THE i think
	12:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Baby's Awake" by "Kim Milai & Ralph Carney" Cool! Big fan of Ralph Carney - Tin Huey, his work with Tom Waits, the B52s, super cool solo albums...
	12:48pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @12:46 I don't know who either of these people are, I found it on the MP3 dot com archive. I did look Kim up and found her leaving a positive review for Songs In The Key of Z Volume 1. She's one of us!
	12:49pm MHLee: This could be Ween
	12:50pm MHLee: @Mr Fab Ralph Carney is iconic.
	12:51pm MHLee: @Miss Mei he also plays the bojack horseman theme
	12:52pm shae: medication
	12:52pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm On Medication" by "John North Wright" I am so fascinated with this guy.
	12:53pm shae: i like the pic of him at some bar
	12:55pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm On Medication" by "John North Wright" as a sickly person on a lot of meds i can relate
	12:55pm shae: this song feels 10 minutes long
	12:55pm Miss Mei: ↳ shae @12:55 it is a long song, 8 minutes, 11 seconds
	12:55pm MHLee: This is a waltz - right?
	12:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ MHLee @12:55 Scientists are still trying to figure that out
	12:58pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm On Medication" by "John North Wright" I think I have to cover this. I'll cut the time down for my cover

	1:03pm MHLee: This is good. People would love it if it was like Robyn Hitchcock

	1:06pm halfwayokay: folks just don't sing about pocket books anymore :(
	1:06pm Miss Mei: ↳ halfwayokay @1:06 or Food Now Now :(
	1:07pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Pocket Book / Food Now Now" by "Frederick Thomas" I think they're going for reggae, but they ended up sounding like early '80s downtown NYC. "No Wave," as they used to say.
	1:08pm Maxmurder327: Loving the goons loving the crew.
	1:08pm MHLee: @Miss Mei Wow, that's a rarity. Tiny did seem to just appear somewhere for a while.
	1:08pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:07 It's the weirdest song about robbery i ever heard.
	1:08pm shae: definite no wave vibes
	1:09pm Miss Mei: ↳ Maxmurder327 @1:08 Max in the house! Looks like I'm gonna have to insert another Comeback King song into the playlist.
	1:09pm MHLee: @Mr Fab that's the vibe I'm getting too

	♥ 1:15pm Herbie: Seasoned Greeterings!
	1:16pm Miss Mei: I'm playing lots of Corey to make up for the fact that I haven't played him enough during the run of this show
	♥ 1:16pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Miss Mei @1:14 in mutual horrified fascination
	1:16pm shae: best song today
	1:17pm Miss Mei: ↳ shae @1:16 It's the most true song ever. So touching and meaningful.

	1:35pm halfwayokay: Make more! We love AOL and AIM!
	1:35pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Gus Honeybun" by "Ponyee" We did a song together that she wrote called "Please Stop Sending Me CDs AOL". Maybe I'll slide it into the playlist. I use my talkbox.
	1:36pm shae: that one was classic
	1:37pm Miss Mei: I am thinking of bringing the talkbox back. It would be good for when I am too weak to sing.
	1:37pm halfwayokay: This one really speaks to me!
	1:37pm shae: i liiked messing around on it

	1:41pm Miss Mei: Making music alone is good, but draining on my body. I love making music with friends. It's good to have more capable like minded people to bounce off of. Plus the audio becomes more meaningful to me since it was a fun activity with a friend
	1:42pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "In My Dreams" by "Rick Stone" This is really hitting the spot in my brain
	1:44pm Mr Fab: I saved all the CD boxes that AOL would mail to us, threw out the insides, and would send people (inc WFMU) CD-Rs of my own music. I would put stickers on the box with my own artwork.
	1:45pm halfwayokay: Jesus Christ!!
	1:46pm Miss Mei: ↳ halfwayokay @1:45 People wonder if I EVER curse. The answer is no, unless I'm covering a song that has cursing.

	1:57pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @1:56 Tiny Tim meets Wesley Willis.
	2:20pm Mr Fab: Unless this show's gone rockabilly, think we lost you for a bit there, Miss Mei.
	2:20pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:20 I lost internet
	2:22pm wenzo: Miss Mei, are you familiar with the oeuvre of Jim E. Brown from Manchester UK? I think he may be of interest to you… that is if he’s not to mainstream…
	2:22pm wenzo: SMK says he’s the new Wesley Willis

	3:00pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:59 I usually feel it's rude to play my own music on my show, but I really wanted to share a few.
	♥ 3:01pm Herbie: ↳ Miss Mei @3:00 I feel ya but ya gotta do it!
	3:03pm Miss Mei: ↳ Herbie @3:01 It must be self esteem. I love when DJs play their own music on their show, but when I do it I worry it comes off bad.
	♥ 5:25pm Herbie: ↳ Miss Mei @3:03 I still feel awkward playing my own stuff but at some point I realized that if I don't, chances are that nobody else will - haha!

	♥ 3:01pm Herbie: ↳ Miss Mei @3:00 I feel ya but ya gotta do it!
	3:03pm Miss Mei: ↳ Herbie @3:01 It must be self esteem. I love when DJs play their own music on their show, but when I do it I worry it comes off bad.
	♥ 5:25pm Herbie: ↳ Miss Mei @3:03 I still feel awkward playing my own stuff but at some point I realized that if I don't, chances are that nobody else will - haha!
