	♥ 12:26pm Yvang: ↳ Charlie @12:23 Inking some comics, trying to avoid the occasional and accidental spilling.
	12:26pm wendy del formaggio: Hello 1MT!
	12:27pm wendy del formaggio: Me? I just got outta the shower. I’m gonna balance my checkbook and make some art. Taking care of basic needs.

	♥ 12:28pm tom tom the pipers son: mimi goese... mimi (gey see)
	♥ 12:29pm adamdoesit: ↳ Charlie @12:23 I'm letting bread dough rise. That's pretty much the definition of busy doing nothing, I think. Maybe take a walk up into town. Later, I'll make soup.
	♥ 12:30pm luka: soundin good, Charlie
	♥ 12:30pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:28 thanks, tom tom!
	♥ 12:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @12:23 i'll be working on a slideshow... reconfiguring old poetry, maybe read a bit in a tug of war with fmu
	12:33pm Michael: Bike ride. Can't take you with tho... I gots to concentrate!

	♥ 12:33pm newton: ↳ Charlie @12:30 Im really diggin the pictures on your public domain review link
	♥ 12:34pm Brian in UK: Nice to 'see' you, Charlie.
	♥ 12:34pm Charlie: hi luka! well, sounds like everyone's got something good going on! Hi Brian!
	♥ 12:34pm Brian in UK: ↳ luka @12:33 Did you see the Plymouth result?
	♥ 12:35pm schmutz: ↳ Song: "Mambo Sun" by "Ezster Balint" ooo what a fun cover! and hiya Charlie and all.
	♥ 12:35pm luka: ↳ Brian in UK @12:34 oh lord no i haven’t looked at scores yet today lol
	♥ 12:35pm Charlie: hey there schmutz!
	♥ 12:35pm Brian in UK: Just finished constructing bunk beds & a truckle bed. Charlie-time.
	♥ 12:35pm newton: ↳ Charlie @12:23 developing some film, then shooting some more
	12:35pm wendy del formaggio: Oh dang. I gotta get this Tzadik Marc Bolan comp. I have the Bacharach one (of course).
	♥ 12:36pm luka: ↳ Brian in UK @12:34 WOW they have been something since Rooney left, but that’s amazing
	♥ 12:37pm luka: and Spurs have already conceded
	♥ 12:38pm Charlie: I've gotta finish reading The Talented Mr. Ripley (for the fourth time) bc I'm leading a book club that's gonna discuss it on Tuesday.
	12:39pm Michael: You could just watch the movie like George Costanza.
	♥ 12:40pm Charlie: ↳ Michael @12:39 Haha! I have seen the movie (didn't like it) and the recent TV adaptation (loved it!)
	12:40pm Stork: Hello all ye that Nothing Do! Ducking in for some special moments with Chollie!
	♥ 12:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Charlie @12:38 I have very mixed feelings about the Ripley character. Highsmith makes him to me a very nasty person but somehow attractive. Says more about me proably.
	♥ 12:43pm Brian in UK: Dennis Hopper was the best Ripley that I have seen.
	♥ 12:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @12:42 that's central to highsmith's POV
	♥ 12:44pm Charlie: Hey Stork!
	♥ 12:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:44 She is a master of that style.
	♥ 12:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @12:43 agree
	♥ 12:46pm adamdoesit: ↳ Stork @12:40 Hey Barkeep! Miss ya, but my liver appreciates the break.
	♥ 12:46pm Michael 98145: Might watch a bit of the Puppy Bowl. Can't get much more 'doing nothing' than sitting in front of a tv.
	12:47pm wendy del formaggio: PUPPY BOWL! If I had tv I’d watch it.
	12:48pm wendy del formaggio: I love this Elton John track a whole bunch.
	♥ 12:48pm Charlie: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:46 Watching other people athleticize is the epitome of nothing-doing-ness
	12:48pm Stork: Elton John slappin!‘
	♥ 12:49pm Michael 98145: ↳ wendy del formaggio @12:47 131 pups this year!
	♥ 12:49pm Michael 98145: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:49 not all at once
	♥ 12:49pm Charlie: I'm watching Bowling for Puppies!
	♥ 12:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @12:48 i think you're right charlie there is a recoprocal relationship that results in entropy of the mind and body
	♥ 12:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sports ! What is it good for. Absolutely nothin'. Say it again.
	♥ 12:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Charlie @12:48 "bread and circuses"
	12:52pm Stork: Miss y‘all too, adamdoesit! Got the big studio upgrade done this week, with GIGANTIC help from Mr. Jeff Moore, and ready as can be for the marathon.
	♥ 12:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:49 well i guess i'm going a bit further with it
	♥ 12:52pm WR: Hello Charlie and folks. Once I finish with lunch I'm going to indulge in screen time watching formulaic mayhem and violence: Three Stooges vids.
	♥ 12:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ WR @12:52 ha!
	♥ 12:53pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "This Giant Will Kill You" by "Katie the Pest" really nice video for this song: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:54pm Charlie: hi WR, and ha!
	♥ 12:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:49 [cartoon of my face with hearts floating up from my eyes]
	♥ 12:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @12:49 I'd bowl for a puppy.
	♥ 12:55pm doctorjazz: Hi Charlie and Nothin'-Doers!
	♥ 12:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:51 Haha! Word.
	♥ 12:55pm Michael 98145: ↳ Charlie @12:53 Yes. 2005 ...

	12:59pm Dean: wa-HA-ka-TAY-las?
	♥ 12:59pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Charlie and busybodies
	♥ 1:01pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Twoje Imie" by "Dorota Barová" oh yes! scratching that itch I didn't realize was there
	1:02pm Stork: Charlie introduced me to Dorothe Borova back when i first started on the Drummer Stream! What a great album!
	♥ 1:03pm Charlie: Hiya doctorjazz, coela, Peter!
	1:03pm Stork: Dorota Barova, he corrected
	♥ 1:03pm Charlie: ↳ Stork @1:02 Yup, this is one of my fave albums of recent years
	♥ 1:11pm luka: D A N
	♥ 1:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Your Gold Teeth" by "Steely Dan" \m/
	♥ 1:12pm Charlie: This song has the distinction of having been played on the air by Stork, Wendy, and myself!
	♥ 1:13pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Charlie!
	♥ 1:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @1:12 The mark of quality!
	♥ 1:14pm Charlie: Howdy, Henry!
	♥ 1:16pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:14 Three on a match?
	♥ 1:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Sugar" by "April March" ...shades of Stereolab ~ Broadcast...
	♥ 1:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Walking On Thin Ice" by "Yoko Ono" YES!!! Dancing now.
	♥ 1:25pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:23 It's a real slam-dance, pogo number
	♥ 1:25pm Michael 98145: definitely my favorite of hers
	♥ 1:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:25 mine as well (Thanks to John)
	1:28pm Chris S.: Hola, Charlie!
	♥ 1:29pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @1:28 Hola, Chris! How's your day going?
	♥ 1:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi ho! Going to try to see what closet holds my cross country skies and take them out for a stretch. Will bring the stream along.
	1:31pm Stork: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:14 If Becker and Fagan thought I'd play a tune just based on a Cathy Berberian name drop (Your Gold Teeth), they were correct
	♥ 1:31pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Dream On" by "Scala & Kolocny Brothers" Nice : "Scala & Kolacny Brothers is a Belgian women's choir conducted by Stijn Kolacny, and arranged and accompanied by Steven Kolacny on the piano. "
	1:33pm Chris S.: We missed you at breakfast at The Coronet.
	1:34pm spodiodi: Greetings, Charlie and all! Thanks for being here🙂
	♥ 1:34pm coelacanth∅: very bummed i've had to miss the laughing clock every week lately.
	♥ 1:35pm coelacanth∅: hey spodiodi
	♥ 1:36pm luka: K E I T H T U R B O
	1:36pm βrian: Oh, hey. I'm busy now, too!
	1:37pm Dean: I want to recommend a CD I recently acquired, Beyond All Mortal Dreams: American A Capella, which includes three pieces by my friend Frank Ferko, inspired by the work of Hildegard von Bingen. The performances by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, of his pieces and the rest of the contributions are gorgeous.
	♥ 1:38pm Charlie: Hi Ken, Spodi! βrian!
	♥ 1:38pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @1:33 Sorry to miss Coronet! and the flea market!
	♥ 1:38pm Alex from Media: Hi Charlie and all, Done with doing something and gonna get busy doing nothing. Dr Octagon a great start!
	♥ 1:39pm Michael 98145: ↳ Dean @1:37 oh! love choral music
	♥ 1:39pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @1:37 Thanks Dean -- I'll look for that
	1:40pm slembrian: Yes! So happy to be catching this live! Have to jump off comments but much love from Samsø 🤍
	♥ 1:41pm Charlie: hi slembrian! and Alex!
	1:41pm βrian: ↳ Dean @1:37 Say, wasn't she the one who castigated a bishop for being insufficiently "juicy?" Ya gotta like that. [I may be mis-remembering.]
	♥ 1:42pm Charlie: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @1:30 Fun to think of the stream going along for x-country skiing! esp as I am here in the deser:)
	♥ 1:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Barbara & Ernie" Autoharp alert! It's very subtle.
	♥ 1:43pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:42 "Vocals, Piano, Electric Piano, Autoharp – Barbara Massey"
	1:44pm Dean: I don't know the story, βrian, but she wasn't the type take sass.
	♥ 1:44pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:42 I knew you'd know that! I was going to alert you, but you beat me to it!
	1:45pm Dean: ^to take sass. I'm a big admirer of the traversal of her musical work by Sequentia and of Peter Dronke's literary treatments of her work.
	♥ 1:45pm Michael 98145: Great show today ✨
	1:46pm spodiodi: Hola, coelacanthØ 🧇
	♥ 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "What Is The Light?" by "The Flaming Lips" One writer called the Lips 'housewife psychedelia'... Know what ? It's nice to hear them...
	♥ 1:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "What Is The Light?" by "The Flaming Lips" Arguably their best recording.
	1:49pm Chris S.: ↳ Brian in UK @1:48 This and Yoshimi are probably my favorites.
	♥ 1:49pm Brian in UK: ↳ Dean @1:37 Was Hildegard's visions merely migraines? Where are the 11,000 virgins?
	1:50pm Dean: I've read speculation about migraines. Anonymous 4 corralled those virgins.
	1:51pm βrian: Ergot ergo visions?
	♥ 1:51pm Charlie: ↳ Brian in UK @1:48 My fave Lips album:)
	♥ 1:51pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Desperado (Sheila Behman, vocal)" by "The Langley... A classic!
	♥ 1:51pm Charlie: Lotsa theories about Hildy! Anonymous 4 did great recordings of her music!
	♥ 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Albert Hofmann @ Sandoz was looking for a headache cure in ergot derivatives - because of its relation to adrenaline & constriction of blood vessels - when he synthesized & discovered LSD.
	♥ 1:54pm Alex from Media: HvB is also credited with being an herbalist and is apocryphally described as the first to record using hops in beer.
	1:54pm Dean: As I recall, Gothic Voices kick-started the Hildegard music craze with Feather On the Breath of God, though there had been earlier efforts by others. Sequentia, however, made her their special achievement. Two, count 'em, two releases of Ordo Virtutum!
	♥ 1:54pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Creep" by "Hildegard von Blingin'" Nice one, Charlie. Nothing less than expected.
	♥ 1:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Creep" by "Hildegard von Blingin'" Hildegard von Blingin' was money on the table. Glad someone took it for a name.
	♥ 1:55pm Michael 98145: Lovely creep
	♥ 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well worth it to hear these lyrics in precise diction & bell-like tones.
	♥ 1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:56 ...the contrast of text & form - angel creeps...
	♥ 1:58pm Brian in UK: My migraines are classified as Scintillating Scotoma. Now that is a cool name. Never have an illness you cannot spell. Please.
	♥ 1:58pm Michael 98145: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 nice song title, however
	♥ 1:59pm Charlie: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 Probably not the kind of scintillation you desire in your life...
	♥ 1:59pm Brian in UK: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:58 Or band name!
	♥ 1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 Cause of the Visuals ? Had those a few times. Fascinating & frightening (can I have my sight back, please? I dig Kandinsky but prefer to opt-in)...
	♥ 1:59pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Black Hole Sun" by "Mimi" RIP, Christopher John Cornell
	♥ 2:00pm Brian in UK: ↳ Charlie @1:59 They are relatively not so demanding. Better than pounding headaches.
	♥ 2:00pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Black Hole Sun" by "Mimi" wow.
	♥ 2:01pm newton: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 I call them the spectral cubist caterpillars
	♥ 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Black Hole Sun" by "Mimi" The original was already a Vocal exposition ...but interesting to have ragers slowed down to reflect on the song...
	♥ 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ newton @2:01 Yeah those.
	♥ 2:02pm fred: Hello Charlie and all. Nice covers here (Glen Passaic did a number on the Stork's furniture, maybe it could use more covering, though it's part of the charm)
	2:02pm Dean: RIP, Lata Mangeshkar I'm reminded that I heard Lakshmi Shankar (no relation to Ravi) live in Long Beach, CA, at an India Festival.
	♥ 2:02pm Brian in UK: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:59 Not sure. Stress sometimes. Other times just out of the blue. Do not have much truck with chocolate, cheese etc being the reason.
	2:03pm Dean: I wore my usual jeans and a t-shirt to the festival, which attracted a wide swath of the Indian community in Southern California. The sari-wrapped woman sitting next to me told me, "You're the most comfortably dressed person here."
	♥ 2:03pm Charlie: ↳ fred @2:02 welcome, fred:)
	♥ 2:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ newton @2:01 That is as good as any description.
	♥ 2:04pm fred: ↳ Brian in UK @2:00 I think I'm familiar with the thing, though not the name. Annoying when your job requires reading and writing
	♥ 2:06pm Brian in UK: ↳ fred @2:04 My discombobulation lasts around twenty minutes. Later on I can feel tired then I realise why that is so. Never stopped me working, so I figure that I am lucky getting this variation.
	2:07pm βrian: ↳ Song: "The Crying Game" by "Brenda Lee" To say nothing of the adverbial game.
	♥ 2:07pm Brian in UK: ↳ βrian @2:07 Cryingly?
	2:08pm Dean: The bed music sounds like a Water Lily Acoustics recital of "Rainbow Connection."
	2:09pm βrian: ↳ Brian in UK @2:07 Nay, Brenda-lee.
	♥ 2:09pm Brian in UK: ↳ βrian @2:09 Gotcha.
	♥ 2:14pm fred: ↳ Brian in UK @2:06 Around same here. I try to take a break from staring at a screen when it starts. I remember a bad spell during a college exam, the stress probably didn't help
	2:14pm βrian: This makes my spouse go all verklempt because of S.A. memories.
	2:16pm mzmz: Hi Charlie, haven't caught up your show for a while. It's always refreshing hearing Hirpomi Hosono's WORLD STANDARD BGM piece in the mid-break.
	♥ 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:14 ...one does feel that Screentime is related to them...
	2:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cape Town Fringe Part 1" by "Dollar Brand" I have this on LP! (not 7")
	♥ 2:19pm Charlie: ↳ mzmz @2:16 hi mzmz -- yes, it's an evocative piece...
	2:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:47 i like their pop transition and straight up pop...
	♥ 2:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cape Town Fringe Part 1" by "Dollar Brand" First thing I ever heard of Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim (it was played often on WNEW FM back in the progressive FM days).
	2:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @2:03 have you ever attempted to put on a sari? one needs an instruction manual!
	♥ 2:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:18 ...almost as if the brain is fed up with interpreting pixels as information - & starts reversing the process on a rebound...
	♥ 2:23pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:18 I don't think so, I had them before spending hours staring at screens. I absolutely hate it when it happens at a dance show
	♥ 2:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:23 Yeah - probly just screens are contraindicated when your vision is already like that...
	♥ 2:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by "Marianne Faithfull" This could be Marianne's memorial song.
	♥ 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:23 ...they make me think of, say, things Huxley wrote in 'Heaven & Hell'. Huxley was going blind - so the visual aspect of the psychedelic experience may have had special relevance for him... I wonder what Terence McKenna might've said about them...
	♥ 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh - Kandinsky imagery is endogenous & happens spontaneously sometimes. Is all...
	2:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Book Lovers" by "Broadcast" trish!
	2:30pm Michael: One of my favorites of theirs
	♥ 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:28 - to which that Broadcast track might not be the least likely soundtrack...
	♥ 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" That there is some smart gittar-bass-drums-vocals type Musics.
	♥ 2:36pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:28 I tried to think of a visual artist I'd like as a filter, but none really fit. Mariko Mori and Cindy Sherman would be fun but too elaborate. Yayoi Kusama maybe?
	2:37pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Song To A Seagull" by "Dave Van Ronk" Great track - great pic!
	2:39pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Song To A Seagull" by "Dave Van Ronk" It feels like a whole different song with him singing it!
	♥ 2:41pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:39 Hi Jeff! It does, and Stork -- I love his version:)
	♥ 2:45pm fred: ↳ Song: "Song To A Seagull" by "Dave Van Ronk" There are (flocks of) seagulls in Paris at times, I guess they follow ships and barges that carry food
	♥ 2:47pm luka: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" recent, but new material on the way!
	♥ 2:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:36 ...some nice soft landing but interesting enuff Impressionism ? ...& a friendly female voice alert informing gently that ya better chill & this'll pass...
	2:48pm βrian: ↳ fred @2:45 We have them in Madison. They wander inland from Lake Michigan.
	♥ 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think very rarely they'll follow the river up here in NewHampshuh. If I didn't imagine that ...an brain vision imprint from living in Santa Barbara...
	2:50pm Stork: Charlie you hit another touchdown with your hockey puck today!
	♥ 2:50pm fred: ↳ Song: "Coast" by "Kim Deal" Unique voice, or maybe I'm dating myself
	♥ 2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:50 Distinct voice. Creative arrangement.
	♥ 2:52pm Alex from Media: Thanks Charlie!
	♥ 2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:36 maybe this www.youtube.com...
	2:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Do Declare" by "Epic Soundtracks" epic sndtrks! thanks charlie, i'll still be nothing!
	♥ 2:53pm fred: ↳ Stork @2:50 Is hitting a puck out of the park a good thing? I'm not great at sports, so I wouldn't know
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: Thank you - good job!
	♥ 2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks charlie, i was busy doing something
	♥ 2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:53 ...depends on who you hit & the lawyer they can afford...
	♥ 2:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:53 that's winning the lottery
	2:56pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:53 according to the mythos, hockey was once played w/ a ball, but a canadian team kept on breaking the windows of an ice rink, so the pissed-off owner of the rink came in and cut the round parts off the rubber ball leaving a "puck" (apocryphal story it is)
	♥ 2:56pm Charlie: Hey, y'all, thanks for hangin' out and for your spirited chat!
	♥ 2:56pm tom tom the pipers son: if you get the puck in the basket...mega millions
	♥ 2:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ Charlie @2:56 Charlie, I so enjoy your fill-ins. What a treat.
	♥ 2:56pm fred: ↳ Song: "Do You Love Me Now?" by "The Breeders" Here again... Huge college era crush
	♥ 2:56pm spodiodi: Thanks, Charlie! Loved the show!
	♥ 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Charlie ~ ...now get the puck outta here...
	♥ 2:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Whadda great show! Thanks, Charlie. xo
	2:58pm Michael: Great fun. Thanks much Charlie!
	♥ 2:58pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
	♥ 2:58pm Yvang: Thanks Charlie! That was something!
	♥ 2:59pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Charlie.

	♥ 3:00pm newton: thanks charlie!
	♥ 3:31pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Charlie!
	6:15pm Will: Terrific show. Listening to your archive and wondering if DJs can actually view the comments that are made posthumously. (Oops.) You are the DJ that hipped me to FMU so many years ago. There, I said it again! Will J
	♥ 6:54pm Charlie: Thanks, Will! And, er, let's call it "post-show":)
	7:55pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Burn Down the Mission" by "Elton John" I just noticed that weird lyric: "It's time we put the flame torch to their keep" "Flame torch"? That's... a torch. Is it written like this because Brits use the word torch by itself to mean a flashlight? Okay, back to your day.

	12:40pm Stork: Hello all ye that Nothing Do! Ducking in for some special moments with Chollie!
	♥ 12:42pm Brian in UK: ↳ Charlie @12:38 I have very mixed feelings about the Ripley character. Highsmith makes him to me a very nasty person but somehow attractive. Says more about me proably.
	♥ 12:43pm Brian in UK: Dennis Hopper was the best Ripley that I have seen.
	♥ 12:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @12:42 that's central to highsmith's POV

	12:48pm wendy del formaggio: I love this Elton John track a whole bunch.
	♥ 12:48pm Charlie: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:46 Watching other people athleticize is the epitome of nothing-doing-ness

	1:37pm Dean: I want to recommend a CD I recently acquired, Beyond All Mortal Dreams: American A Capella, which includes three pieces by my friend Frank Ferko, inspired by the work of Hildegard von Bingen. The performances by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge, of his pieces and the rest of the contributions are gorgeous.

	1:46pm spodiodi: Hola, coelacanthØ 🧇
	♥ 1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "What Is The Light?" by "The Flaming Lips" One writer called the Lips 'housewife psychedelia'... Know what ? It's nice to hear them...
	♥ 1:48pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "What Is The Light?" by "The Flaming Lips" Arguably their best recording.
	1:49pm Chris S.: ↳ Brian in UK @1:48 This and Yoshimi are probably my favorites.
	♥ 1:49pm Brian in UK: ↳ Dean @1:37 Was Hildegard's visions merely migraines? Where are the 11,000 virgins?

	1:51pm βrian: Ergot ergo visions?
	♥ 1:51pm Charlie: ↳ Brian in UK @1:48 My fave Lips album:)
	♥ 1:51pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Desperado (Sheila Behman, vocal)" by "The Langley... A classic!
	♥ 1:51pm Charlie: Lotsa theories about Hildy! Anonymous 4 did great recordings of her music!
	♥ 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Albert Hofmann @ Sandoz was looking for a headache cure in ergot derivatives - because of its relation to adrenaline & constriction of blood vessels - when he synthesized & discovered LSD.
	♥ 1:54pm Alex from Media: HvB is also credited with being an herbalist and is apocryphally described as the first to record using hops in beer.
	1:54pm Dean: As I recall, Gothic Voices kick-started the Hildegard music craze with Feather On the Breath of God, though there had been earlier efforts by others. Sequentia, however, made her their special achievement. Two, count 'em, two releases of Ordo Virtutum!
	♥ 1:54pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Creep" by "Hildegard von Blingin'" Nice one, Charlie. Nothing less than expected.
	♥ 1:54pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Creep" by "Hildegard von Blingin'" Hildegard von Blingin' was money on the table. Glad someone took it for a name.
	♥ 1:55pm Michael 98145: Lovely creep
	♥ 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well worth it to hear these lyrics in precise diction & bell-like tones.
	♥ 1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:56 ...the contrast of text & form - angel creeps...
	♥ 1:58pm Brian in UK: My migraines are classified as Scintillating Scotoma. Now that is a cool name. Never have an illness you cannot spell. Please.
	♥ 1:58pm Michael 98145: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 nice song title, however
	♥ 1:59pm Charlie: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 Probably not the kind of scintillation you desire in your life...
	♥ 1:59pm Brian in UK: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:58 Or band name!
	♥ 1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 Cause of the Visuals ? Had those a few times. Fascinating & frightening (can I have my sight back, please? I dig Kandinsky but prefer to opt-in)...
	♥ 1:59pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Black Hole Sun" by "Mimi" RIP, Christopher John Cornell
	♥ 2:00pm Brian in UK: ↳ Charlie @1:59 They are relatively not so demanding. Better than pounding headaches.
	♥ 2:00pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Black Hole Sun" by "Mimi" wow.
	♥ 2:01pm newton: ↳ Brian in UK @1:58 I call them the spectral cubist caterpillars
	♥ 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Black Hole Sun" by "Mimi" The original was already a Vocal exposition ...but interesting to have ragers slowed down to reflect on the song...
	♥ 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ newton @2:01 Yeah those.
	♥ 2:02pm fred: Hello Charlie and all. Nice covers here (Glen Passaic did a number on the Stork's furniture, maybe it could use more covering, though it's part of the charm)
	2:02pm Dean: RIP, Lata Mangeshkar I'm reminded that I heard Lakshmi Shankar (no relation to Ravi) live in Long Beach, CA, at an India Festival.
	♥ 2:02pm Brian in UK: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:59 Not sure. Stress sometimes. Other times just out of the blue. Do not have much truck with chocolate, cheese etc being the reason.
	2:03pm Dean: I wore my usual jeans and a t-shirt to the festival, which attracted a wide swath of the Indian community in Southern California. The sari-wrapped woman sitting next to me told me, "You're the most comfortably dressed person here."
	♥ 2:03pm Charlie: ↳ fred @2:02 welcome, fred:)
	♥ 2:04pm Brian in UK: ↳ newton @2:01 That is as good as any description.
	♥ 2:04pm fred: ↳ Brian in UK @2:00 I think I'm familiar with the thing, though not the name. Annoying when your job requires reading and writing
	♥ 2:06pm Brian in UK: ↳ fred @2:04 My discombobulation lasts around twenty minutes. Later on I can feel tired then I realise why that is so. Never stopped me working, so I figure that I am lucky getting this variation.
	2:07pm βrian: ↳ Song: "The Crying Game" by "Brenda Lee" To say nothing of the adverbial game.
	♥ 2:07pm Brian in UK: ↳ βrian @2:07 Cryingly?
	2:08pm Dean: The bed music sounds like a Water Lily Acoustics recital of "Rainbow Connection."
	2:09pm βrian: ↳ Brian in UK @2:07 Nay, Brenda-lee.
	♥ 2:09pm Brian in UK: ↳ βrian @2:09 Gotcha.
	♥ 2:14pm fred: ↳ Brian in UK @2:06 Around same here. I try to take a break from staring at a screen when it starts. I remember a bad spell during a college exam, the stress probably didn't help
	2:14pm βrian: This makes my spouse go all verklempt because of S.A. memories.
	2:16pm mzmz: Hi Charlie, haven't caught up your show for a while. It's always refreshing hearing Hirpomi Hosono's WORLD STANDARD BGM piece in the mid-break.
	♥ 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:14 ...one does feel that Screentime is related to them...
	2:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cape Town Fringe Part 1" by "Dollar Brand" I have this on LP! (not 7")
	♥ 2:19pm Charlie: ↳ mzmz @2:16 hi mzmz -- yes, it's an evocative piece...
	2:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:47 i like their pop transition and straight up pop...
	♥ 2:20pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Cape Town Fringe Part 1" by "Dollar Brand" First thing I ever heard of Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim (it was played often on WNEW FM back in the progressive FM days).
	2:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @2:03 have you ever attempted to put on a sari? one needs an instruction manual!
	♥ 2:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:18 ...almost as if the brain is fed up with interpreting pixels as information - & starts reversing the process on a rebound...
	♥ 2:23pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:18 I don't think so, I had them before spending hours staring at screens. I absolutely hate it when it happens at a dance show
	♥ 2:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:23 Yeah - probly just screens are contraindicated when your vision is already like that...
	♥ 2:25pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by "Marianne Faithfull" This could be Marianne's memorial song.
	♥ 2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:23 ...they make me think of, say, things Huxley wrote in 'Heaven & Hell'. Huxley was going blind - so the visual aspect of the psychedelic experience may have had special relevance for him... I wonder what Terence McKenna might've said about them...
	♥ 2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh - Kandinsky imagery is endogenous & happens spontaneously sometimes. Is all...
	2:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Book Lovers" by "Broadcast" trish!
	2:30pm Michael: One of my favorites of theirs
	♥ 2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:28 - to which that Broadcast track might not be the least likely soundtrack...
	♥ 2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" That there is some smart gittar-bass-drums-vocals type Musics.
	♥ 2:36pm fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:28 I tried to think of a visual artist I'd like as a filter, but none really fit. Mariko Mori and Cindy Sherman would be fun but too elaborate. Yayoi Kusama maybe?
	2:37pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Song To A Seagull" by "Dave Van Ronk" Great track - great pic!
	2:39pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Song To A Seagull" by "Dave Van Ronk" It feels like a whole different song with him singing it!
	♥ 2:41pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:39 Hi Jeff! It does, and Stork -- I love his version:)
	♥ 2:45pm fred: ↳ Song: "Song To A Seagull" by "Dave Van Ronk" There are (flocks of) seagulls in Paris at times, I guess they follow ships and barges that carry food
	♥ 2:47pm luka: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" recent, but new material on the way!
	♥ 2:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:36 ...some nice soft landing but interesting enuff Impressionism ? ...& a friendly female voice alert informing gently that ya better chill & this'll pass...
	2:48pm βrian: ↳ fred @2:45 We have them in Madison. They wander inland from Lake Michigan.
	♥ 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think very rarely they'll follow the river up here in NewHampshuh. If I didn't imagine that ...an brain vision imprint from living in Santa Barbara...
	2:50pm Stork: Charlie you hit another touchdown with your hockey puck today!
	♥ 2:50pm fred: ↳ Song: "Coast" by "Kim Deal" Unique voice, or maybe I'm dating myself
	♥ 2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:50 Distinct voice. Creative arrangement.
	♥ 2:52pm Alex from Media: Thanks Charlie!
	♥ 2:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:36 maybe this www.youtube.com...
	2:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Do Declare" by "Epic Soundtracks" epic sndtrks! thanks charlie, i'll still be nothing!
	♥ 2:53pm fred: ↳ Stork @2:50 Is hitting a puck out of the park a good thing? I'm not great at sports, so I wouldn't know
	♥ 2:54pm Michael 98145: Thank you - good job!
	♥ 2:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks charlie, i was busy doing something
	♥ 2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ fred @2:53 ...depends on who you hit & the lawyer they can afford...
	♥ 2:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @2:53 that's winning the lottery
	2:56pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @2:53 according to the mythos, hockey was once played w/ a ball, but a canadian team kept on breaking the windows of an ice rink, so the pissed-off owner of the rink came in and cut the round parts off the rubber ball leaving a "puck" (apocryphal story it is)
	♥ 2:56pm Charlie: Hey, y'all, thanks for hangin' out and for your spirited chat!
	♥ 2:56pm tom tom the pipers son: if you get the puck in the basket...mega millions
	♥ 2:56pm adamdoesit: ↳ Charlie @2:56 Charlie, I so enjoy your fill-ins. What a treat.
	♥ 2:56pm fred: ↳ Song: "Do You Love Me Now?" by "The Breeders" Here again... Huge college era crush
	♥ 2:56pm spodiodi: Thanks, Charlie! Loved the show!
	♥ 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Charlie ~ ...now get the puck outta here...
	♥ 2:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: Whadda great show! Thanks, Charlie. xo
	2:58pm Michael: Great fun. Thanks much Charlie!
	♥ 2:58pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
	♥ 2:58pm Yvang: Thanks Charlie! That was something!
	♥ 2:59pm Brian in UK: Nice one, Charlie.
	2:59pm Stork: Thanks yet again, Chollie!!! Wunnerful!
	♥ 2:59pm schmutz: Thanks for delivering the dopamine Charlie ❤️💗❤️
	♥ 3:00pm chresti: Thanks Charlie!
	♥ 3:00pm newton: thanks charlie!
	♥ 3:31pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Charlie!
	6:15pm Will: Terrific show. Listening to your archive and wondering if DJs can actually view the comments that are made posthumously. (Oops.) You are the DJ that hipped me to FMU so many years ago. There, I said it again! Will J
	♥ 6:54pm Charlie: Thanks, Will! And, er, let's call it "post-show":)
	7:55pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Burn Down the Mission" by "Elton John" I just noticed that weird lyric: "It's time we put the flame torch to their keep" "Flame torch"? That's... a torch. Is it written like this because Brits use the word torch by itself to mean a flashlight? Okay, back to your day.
