	♥ 12:07pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Andrew!
	♥ 12:09pm Tony Coulter: Bastien was supposed to tour the U.S. last fall, but he couldn't get his visa approved in time.
	♥ 12:11pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:09 I guess U.S. officials were afraid he'd take work away from U.S. Pierre Bastiens.
	♥ 12:12pm spodiodi: Greetings, Tony and all!
	♥ 12:12pm Tony Coulter: Greets, spodi!

	♥ 12:23pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ spodiodi @12:12 Hiya, spodi!
	🥁 ♥ 12:24pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @12:09 Perhaps he (accidentally) ticked that box that asks 'Have you ever committed genocide?' Afternoon Tony and assembled Coultards: James, Andrew, Spod, S&M&S.
	♥ 12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @12:24 Greetings, David!

	♥ 12:28pm spodiodi: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:23 Aloha, Andrew! Ahoy, David (in London)
	🥁 ♥ 12:45pm wimpy: ↳ Tony Coulter @8:05 I always enjoy the art you post for these shows quite a bit. Do you have a degree in it? or do you spend a lot of time in museums? or perhaps some other third avenue to building up a knowledge of painters and artists from the 20th century
	♥ 12:48pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @12:45 Hi, wimpy! Well, now that you mention it, I did major in art history in college (a million years ago). But as far as finding images for my playlists, I just root around on-line.
	🥁 ♥ 12:54pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Tung Tze Mao" by "Paolo Tofani" This is lots of mad fun!
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm wimpy: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:48 Interesting, thanks. Paintings and visual art have always intrigued me, but much like poetry, a strong appreciation has kind of eluded me just due to a lack of exposure. When I was 18 however I swiped a textbook about surrealists from a hostel I stayed at and enjoy flipping through it from time to time.
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm wimpy: ↳ David (in London) @12:54 Agreed!
	♥ 12:57pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 12:58pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, pot8o!
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @12:57 Hey pot8o.
	♥ 1:00pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Tung Tze Mao" by "Paolo Tofani" this track was really interesting, like an atonal bill frisell
	🥁 ♥ 1:14pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Nana or a Thing of Uncertain Nonsense" by "Nurse ... I love circusy goofy nonsense like this
	🥁 ♥ 1:17pm wimpy: This is actually really great. pot8o, does nww normally sound like this? Not necessarily the circusy stuff but samples under noise with a sense of humor
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tony
	♥ 1:18pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @1:17 I'd say, yes, this is typical of NWW. Lots of humor; lots of cut-up surrealism.
	♥ 1:19pm Tony Coulter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:18 Greets, coel!
	🥁 ♥ 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "L'argent des Gens" by "Albert Marcœur" Marcoeur did a split tape release with This Heat at one time. Introduced me to him.
	🥁 ♥ 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:18 Yo Coela.
	♥ 1:25pm TDK60: Hey Tony.
	♥ 1:26pm Tony Coulter: ↳ TDK60 @1:25 Hey, hey, hello, TDK60!
	🥁 ♥ 1:32pm David (in London): ↳ TDK60 @1:25 Hey Teeds.

	🥁 ♥ 1:39pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @1:24 Aloha David; TDK
	♥ 1:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: holy heck I am LATE.
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "As If I Cared (1975)" by "The Electric Eels" Hurrah, the eels!
	♥ 1:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: & missed that cut from Elephant Table. That comp seemed to be the icebreaker for so many people... myself included.
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm David (in London): ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @1:40 Afternoon Reverend.
	♥ 1:41pm Tony Coulter: Turnips turn up eventually. (Hiya, Rev.!)
	♥ 1:42pm TDK60: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:39 coela -greetings.
	1:44pm J. Morton: Where is Creamo Coyle?Mr. Spin Age Blaster
	🥁 ♥ 1:44pm wimpy: The electric eels tracks I hear on this show paint a much different picture of the band than the compilations I’ve heard in the past
	🥁 ♥ 1:44pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "As If I Cared (1975)" by "The Electric Eels" I love the fact that Dave E now plays clarinet in his local church band, and they have no idea that has was once in the most punk rock band of all time.
	♥ 1:48pm Tony Coulter: ↳ J. Morton @1:44 Greetings, J. Morton!
	♥ 1:49pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Error System (EFGA)" by "David Cunningham" sounds a lot like the first minute or two of larks tongues in aspic
	♥ 1:49pm Tony Coulter: ↳ pot8o @1:49 Kinda know what you mean!
	♥ 1:57pm newton: you know how I feel about eels, you can't even spell feel without them

	♥ 2:04pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @2:04 See you, wimpy!
	🥁 ♥ 2:05pm Hunterian: ↳ Song: "Die Lippe" by "Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft" DAF—immer willkommen!
	♥ 2:05pm newton: ↳ David (in London) @2:03 please send the eels!! also there are 2 (!) houses for sale on eel π
	♥ 2:06pm Tony Coulter: Since I was thinking how advanced that Cluster track sounds for 1972, I decided to see what the best-selling album was in Germany that year. Turns out it's Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits.
	♥ 2:07pm newton: if I could sell here I would and live on eel pies
	♥ 2:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Hunterian @2:05 Greets, Hunterian!
	🥁 ♥ 2:08pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:06 i would've guessed abba
	🥁 ♥ 2:08pm David (in London): ↳ newton @2:05 I will.
	🥁 ♥ 2:09pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:08 (or abba was later?)

	♥ 2:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: methinks Abba didn't become a thing until '74 .. weirdly it seems like a whole universe between '72 and '74-'75...
	🥁 ♥ 2:10pm Mxter Baba: Greetings, Tony and WFMU palz!
	♥ 2:11pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Hunterian @2:10 Ha! Now I just need to play the Nice's "America."
	♥ 2:11pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:10 Hey there, Mxter Baba!!

	🥁 ♥ 2:13pm David (in London): ↳ Mxter Baba @2:10 Mx Beekins!
	🥁 ♥ 2:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:11 didn't yes do an overblown version of america too? (or am i thinking of the nice version...) - in any case the original is the only good one, in so very humble my opinion!
	🥁 ♥ 2:14pm Mxter Baba: ↳ David (in London) @2:13 D(iL)kins! Sipping an oolong at the moment, how ‘bout you?
	🥁 ♥ 2:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Meninblack" by "The Stranglers" one of my favorite stranglers songs from easily my favorite stranglers album...with the best stranglers album art

	🥁 ♥ 2:19pm Mxter Baba: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:16 hey coelakins!
	🥁 ♥ 2:20pm David (in London): Effing loving this set, Tone.
	🥁 ♥ 2:20pm Mxter Baba: ↳ David (in London) @2:18 mmm, that sounds like a tasty treat, indeed!
	♥ 2:21pm newton: I remember, it was just Sylvian's birthday, I think stork did a big set

	♥ 2:28pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Communist China" by "Japan" definitely gonna get some strange looks if you ask for this title in the record shop
	♥ 2:30pm newton: ↳ pot8o @2:28 I think its on the Assemblage compilation too if you dont want to ask for Adolescent Sex
	🥁 ♥ 2:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @2:18 i've got a box of walker's shortbread cookies barking at me but can't decide between tea or coffee
	♥ 2:33pm Tony Coulter: Did the band America do a cover of any of the various "Americas" (S & G's, Bernstein's, etc.)? Don't think so, but they should have.
	♥ 2:34pm newton: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:33 America did a pigeon song
	🥁 ♥ 2:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:33 they should've covered "L'america" (the doors)

	♥ 2:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hurrah!
	🥁 ♥ 2:45pm coelacanth∅: america sang about a highway, a river, a horse, a donkey, a pigeon, the moon, the sun, saturn... maybe they should've sung about something truly american, like money and gluttony. 'maybe covered madonna's material girl.
	2:46pm Dean: Why do all of America's album titles begin with H? Maybe because an H resembles football goal posts, and you can't get anymore American than that.
	🥁 ♥ 2:46pm Julie: this is lovely.
	🥁 ♥ 2:46pm Mxter Baba: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:45 taking it as a personal challenge to try and perform “Material Girl” as done by America

	2:48pm Dean: Evan Parker played a house, Greg Goodman's (also known as Woody Woodman), about six blocks from my house a few years ago. G/Woodman accompanied on piano.
	2:49pm Dean: Then why didn't America take the name U.K.? Did they know that sooner or later another band would take it?
	♥ 2:49pm JB: ↳ Song: "Angel" by "Daona" David in London!
	🥁 ♥ 2:49pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:48 Bless you, Coela.
	🥁 ♥ 2:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:46 i would try my best to listen to that!
	♥ 2:50pm TDK60: Did anybody ever put Allen Ginsberg's America to melody? Maybe he did?
	🥁 ♥ 2:52pm coelacanth∅: they should've called the group "2/3 american" ...catchy.
	2:53pm Dean: No, but if you howl a few bars I can fake it.
	♥ 2:53pm TDK60: ↳ Dean @2:53 Hoo, Dean.

	🥁 ♥ 2:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:52 actually... as i hated the group name "america" right out of the gate, i might've been more receptive to them if they'd called it that. (profoundly terrible names in both cases)

	♥ 2:56pm newton: thanks Tony
	♥ 2:56pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, Tony!

	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm wimpy: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:48 Interesting, thanks. Paintings and visual art have always intrigued me, but much like poetry, a strong appreciation has kind of eluded me just due to a lack of exposure. When I was 18 however I swiped a textbook about surrealists from a hostel I stayed at and enjoy flipping through it from time to time.
	🥁 ♥ 12:56pm wimpy: ↳ David (in London) @12:54 Agreed!
	♥ 12:57pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 12:58pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, pot8o!
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm David (in London): ↳ pot8o @12:57 Hey pot8o.
	♥ 1:00pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Tung Tze Mao" by "Paolo Tofani" this track was really interesting, like an atonal bill frisell
	🥁 ♥ 1:14pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Nana or a Thing of Uncertain Nonsense" by "Nurse ... I love circusy goofy nonsense like this
	🥁 ♥ 1:17pm wimpy: This is actually really great. pot8o, does nww normally sound like this? Not necessarily the circusy stuff but samples under noise with a sense of humor
	🥁 ♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tony
	♥ 1:18pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wimpy @1:17 I'd say, yes, this is typical of NWW. Lots of humor; lots of cut-up surrealism.
	♥ 1:19pm Tony Coulter: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:18 Greets, coel!
	🥁 ♥ 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "L'argent des Gens" by "Albert Marcœur" Marcoeur did a split tape release with This Heat at one time. Introduced me to him.
	🥁 ♥ 1:24pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:18 Yo Coela.

	♥ 1:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: & missed that cut from Elephant Table. That comp seemed to be the icebreaker for so many people... myself included.
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm David (in London): ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @1:40 Afternoon Reverend.
	♥ 1:41pm Tony Coulter: Turnips turn up eventually. (Hiya, Rev.!)
	♥ 1:42pm TDK60: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:39 coela -greetings.
	1:44pm J. Morton: Where is Creamo Coyle?Mr. Spin Age Blaster
	🥁 ♥ 1:44pm wimpy: The electric eels tracks I hear on this show paint a much different picture of the band than the compilations I’ve heard in the past
	🥁 ♥ 1:44pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "As If I Cared (1975)" by "The Electric Eels" I love the fact that Dave E now plays clarinet in his local church band, and they have no idea that has was once in the most punk rock band of all time.
	♥ 1:48pm Tony Coulter: ↳ J. Morton @1:44 Greetings, J. Morton!
	♥ 1:49pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Error System (EFGA)" by "David Cunningham" sounds a lot like the first minute or two of larks tongues in aspic

	♥ 2:05pm newton: ↳ David (in London) @2:03 please send the eels!! also there are 2 (!) houses for sale on eel π
	♥ 2:06pm Tony Coulter: Since I was thinking how advanced that Cluster track sounds for 1972, I decided to see what the best-selling album was in Germany that year. Turns out it's Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits.
	♥ 2:07pm newton: if I could sell here I would and live on eel pies
	♥ 2:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Hunterian @2:05 Greets, Hunterian!

	🥁 ♥ 2:10pm Mxter Baba: Greetings, Tony and WFMU palz!
	♥ 2:11pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Hunterian @2:10 Ha! Now I just need to play the Nice's "America."

	🥁 ♥ 2:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:11 didn't yes do an overblown version of america too? (or am i thinking of the nice version...) - in any case the original is the only good one, in so very humble my opinion!
	🥁 ♥ 2:14pm Mxter Baba: ↳ David (in London) @2:13 D(iL)kins! Sipping an oolong at the moment, how ‘bout you?

	🥁 ♥ 2:19pm Mxter Baba: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:16 hey coelakins!
	🥁 ♥ 2:20pm David (in London): Effing loving this set, Tone.
	🥁 ♥ 2:20pm Mxter Baba: ↳ David (in London) @2:18 mmm, that sounds like a tasty treat, indeed!
	♥ 2:21pm newton: I remember, it was just Sylvian's birthday, I think stork did a big set

	♥ 2:28pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Communist China" by "Japan" definitely gonna get some strange looks if you ask for this title in the record shop
	♥ 2:30pm newton: ↳ pot8o @2:28 I think its on the Assemblage compilation too if you dont want to ask for Adolescent Sex
	🥁 ♥ 2:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @2:18 i've got a box of walker's shortbread cookies barking at me but can't decide between tea or coffee
	♥ 2:33pm Tony Coulter: Did the band America do a cover of any of the various "Americas" (S & G's, Bernstein's, etc.)? Don't think so, but they should have.
	♥ 2:34pm newton: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:33 America did a pigeon song
	🥁 ♥ 2:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:33 they should've covered "L'america" (the doors)

	♥ 2:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hurrah!
	🥁 ♥ 2:45pm coelacanth∅: america sang about a highway, a river, a horse, a donkey, a pigeon, the moon, the sun, saturn... maybe they should've sung about something truly american, like money and gluttony. 'maybe covered madonna's material girl.
	2:46pm Dean: Why do all of America's album titles begin with H? Maybe because an H resembles football goal posts, and you can't get anymore American than that.
	🥁 ♥ 2:46pm Julie: this is lovely.
	🥁 ♥ 2:46pm Mxter Baba: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:45 taking it as a personal challenge to try and perform “Material Girl” as done by America

	2:48pm Dean: Evan Parker played a house, Greg Goodman's (also known as Woody Woodman), about six blocks from my house a few years ago. G/Woodman accompanied on piano.
	2:49pm Dean: Then why didn't America take the name U.K.? Did they know that sooner or later another band would take it?
	♥ 2:49pm JB: ↳ Song: "Angel" by "Daona" David in London!
	🥁 ♥ 2:49pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:48 Bless you, Coela.
	🥁 ♥ 2:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:46 i would try my best to listen to that!
	♥ 2:50pm TDK60: Did anybody ever put Allen Ginsberg's America to melody? Maybe he did?
	🥁 ♥ 2:52pm coelacanth∅: they should've called the group "2/3 american" ...catchy.
	2:53pm Dean: No, but if you howl a few bars I can fake it.
	♥ 2:53pm TDK60: ↳ Dean @2:53 Hoo, Dean.

	🥁 ♥ 2:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:52 actually... as i hated the group name "america" right out of the gate, i might've been more receptive to them if they'd called it that. (profoundly terrible names in both cases)

	♥ 2:56pm newton: thanks Tony
	♥ 2:56pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, Tony!
