	♥ 9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Too Bored" by "Teenage PhD's" Oh whoops. I tried to clicky-star this song, and I accidentally unclicky-starred it because at some point I already clicky-starred it and now I'm all confusulated.

	♥ 9:18pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 Owada is a Martin Creed band
	♥ 9:18pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 www.stalk.net...
	9:19pm Kat in the chat: Hiya Charlie. You had me at Harmonium :)
	♥ 9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @9:18 oh ok… in quick look internet did not tell me so...
	♥ 9:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @9:18 thx
	♥ 9:22pm Charlie: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:19 :)
	♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I Walk" by "Don Cherry" I love this track. Don Cherry is always full of surprises.
	♥ 9:23pm newton: is that john waters in front row at stereolab?
	♥ 9:23pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:12 a very minimalist band, will share at some point
	♥ 9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ newton @9:23 I don't think so. The moustache is much too big.
	♥ 9:27pm Charlie: ↳ newton @9:23 no moustache!
	♥ 9:28pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:27 Oh, I thought there was none there. Maybe it's just light, while JW's is thin and dark.
	♥ 9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @9:28 Yeah, it could be a shadow. It's hard to tell. But I'm confident that's not John Waters.
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: nice tie-in segue!
	♥ 9:31pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:30 you got the reference!
	♥ 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Im Nin'alu" by "Ofra Haza" i believe this was an fmu hit back when...
	♥ 9:32pm newton: I wonder though, was she ever paid in full?
	♥ 9:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @9:32 sadly, it was not to matter.
	9:33pm Dean: The Yemenite Songs album is from '84, but this tune appeared a few years later in remixed versions after she attracted mainstream attention.
	9:36pm Dean: Asphodel is such a treasure of a label. Yasunao Tone, Xenakis...
	♥ 9:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @9:33 it's on the original u.s. release of that album. my introduction to Ofra Haza (Thanks to trustworthy shanachie records catalogue reviews)
	9:38pm Dean: Very good pun, Infinite Scroll (though the Medievals worked with codices). Today I purchased an LP of works by Francesco Landini performed by Studio Der Frühen Musik, 1973.
	♥ 9:43pm schmutz: it was my bedtime but now im here to stay up and rock n roll
	♥ 9:45pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Rock and Roll" by "Rasputina" This is fun!
	♥ 9:45pm Charlie: hey there Dean, schmutz
	♥ 9:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "You" by "Delta 5" I love this song!
	♥ 9:47pm Charlie: ↳ schmutz @9:43 You can listen in your jammies!
	♥ 9:47pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:46 Wendy! Me too. And I do make homebrew lots of sediment!
	9:48pm Dean: Long ago -- the '80s? -- I attended concerts by Kronos Quartet, who would perform their take on "Purple Haze" and, better, a weird medley of TV show theme songs. This Delta 5 takes me to the range of months when I decided I needed to back off from rock music. I think I even went a whole year not buying records. All of which only goes to show that you're delivering the goods tonight, Charlie.
	♥ 9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:47 Alex!
	9:54pm Dean: The Tiptons recently appeared in an interview on the local college station. Dang, they've been at it for years.
	♥ 9:54pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:54 Didn't know they were still around!
	9:56pm Dean: I first learned of them when I lived near LA. They appeared on KPFK, the regional Pacifica station. Probably the '80s or early '90s.
	♥ 9:56pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "The 8th Day" by "Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone ... Here they're joined by Ne Zhdali, an Estonian band led by guitarist Leonid Soybelman, who also had a group called Kletka Red.
	9:56pm Dean: I saw Kletka Red live at Victo pre-2000.
	♥ 9:58pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:56 they musta kicked some klezmer ass!
	9:59pm Dean: Dig the program that year: https://www.fimav.qc.ca/en/1998 I was impressed, for sure. I bought one of their CDs.
	10:00pm 1MT: Hi Charlie just tuning in sorry I missed the Stereolab beginning!
	♥ 10:00pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:59 Wow, that's a great lineup!
	10:00pm 1MT: hiya Wendy hi everybody!
	10:01pm Dean: Victo is always a great lineup.
	♥ 10:01pm Charlie: ↳ 1MT @10:00 1MT! Hi Mike:)
	♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: 1MT!
	♥ 10:07pm newton: O I love this record
	♥ 10:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "It was up in the mountains (read by Paul from L.A... Giorno Poetry Systems has been in my orbit lately.
	♥ 10:08pm newton: they never came back
	10:11pm Dean: Did Ginsberg dig John Skelton? I want to think so.
	♥ 10:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Complaint of the Skeleton to Time" by "Allen Gins... This is fun.
	10:13pm Kat in the chat: I’ve never heard anyone but me play this version of I’ll Come Running on the radio ❤️
	♥ 10:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I'll Come Running" by "Chica & The Folder" oh was not aware these covers existed outside of carol crows premium
	♥ 10:15pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 I put this on a marathon premium in 2005!
	10:15pm Kat in the chat: I should have gotten that premium. My friend Cinchel didn’t tell me he was on it until well after I’d selected swag!
	♥ 10:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 stupid words…i am tred...
	♥ 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @10:15 oh u huh…nice...
	10:18pm Kat in the chat: I ran across that cover in the course of a deep dive into Monika Enterprise
	♥ 10:18pm Charlie: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:18 Monika is a cool label:)
	10:18pm Kat in the chat: Ah I see what you did there Charlie
	♥ 10:22pm Troy: Great show!
	♥ 10:22pm newton: in '79 and '80 there was a red haired young woman who played violin often on 5th avenue, her name was Gudrun,
	♥ 10:25pm schmutz: wonderful
	♥ 10:26pm Roberto: Charles!!
	♥ 10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Desperately Seeking Susan"! I saw it when it came out, maybe in the theater. Then I watched it a few years ago. Maybe I'll watch it again. It's so good. I also recommend "Smithereens," by the same director, Susan Seidelman. Charlie already knows this movie, but you might not!
	♥ 10:29pm Charlie: Hi Troy! Thanks:) and hi Roberto!
	♥ 10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: eating dinner incrementally….before…potato…now …baby carrots in garlicky yogurt dill sauce… future …chicken...
	♥ 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Candi Staton! (picture cartoon hearts flying up from my eyes)
	♥ 10:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, time for me to get to bed. I gotta be on the radio early in the morning! Thanks, Charlie! We'll talk soon. xo
	♥ 10:31pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:31 'night, Wendy!
	10:32pm Kat in the chat: See you on the radio in the morning, Wendy!
	10:32pm Kat in the chat: I got cartoon hearts for Lorette Velvette
	♥ 10:32pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:29 heehee:)
	♥ 10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Come on Over" by "Lorette Velvette" looks like lorette is the type of girl whon could have been on sun records had she lived temporally differentiated
	♥ 10:33pm newton: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:28 it bothers me that smithereens doesnt go anywhere and the characters dont go anywhere, loses steam, but that then might be part of the scene then. There was a GREAT interview with Susan Seidelman I think last year on TOPT show. very worth checking
	♥ 10:36pm Charlie: ↳ newton @10:33 She's interesting. I know what you mean about Smithereens, but not every movie has to go somewhere. I think it says something about the character. I also recommend her movie Making Mr. Right, which I think is under-known and really terrific.
	♥ 10:36pm WR: Hello Charlie and folks.
	♥ 10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:33 maybe seidelman could be an analogy to jim jarmusch
	♥ 10:38pm Charlie: heya, WR
	♥ 10:38pm Alex from Media: Time to call it a day. Thanks Charlie.
	10:38pm Kat in the chat: Co-signed on Making Mr. Right, I’d forgotten about that one myself
	♥ 10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @10:36 ann magnuson
	♥ 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i love this ramones song...
	♥ 10:40pm Charlie: see ya Alex!
	♥ 10:40pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:38 She's fab in Making Mr Right!
	10:40pm Erik in VT: @charlie: Ball of Fire (1941) that’s the fun movie werein the brilliant wacky drummer Gene Krupa plays a matchbox with 2 matches as drumsticks 🥁= great historic film moment! (& of course a payoff end to that)
	♥ 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i am nice to mommy but i talk to commies
	♥ 10:41pm newton: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 that IS a special moment in film!
	♥ 10:43pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 I played that whole scene on my show once years ago!
	♥ 10:43pm Roberto: One classic WFMU DJ subs for another!
	♥ 10:43pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 Also, Hi Erik!
	♥ 10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: i recommend this easy baby carrot recipe…steam carrots in microwave… salt, pepper garlic powder, dill… mix in large tablespoon plus of greek yogurt…basically a tzaziki sauce..
	♥ 10:48pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:47 no one puts baby in the microwave
	♥ 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:48 ha ha! dirty steaming….
	10:50pm Kat in the chat: I was wondering if we’d hear this next!
	♥ 10:50pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Electric Avenue" by "Eddy Grant" Yeah!
	♥ 10:51pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:47 Sounds yummy and easy
	♥ 10:51pm Charlie: I prefer to put a fire under baby
	♥ 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: yea it is 5 minutes
	♥ 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: remember to throw in water
	10:53pm Erik in VT: ↳ Charlie @10:36 Hi Charlie & all the busy nothing doers! - definitely on the same wavelength, as I was gonna recommend the fun (imao) Making Mr Right. I was floored by the entire vibe of that movie when it arrived. Not only great Ann Magnuson playing off of Malkovich (doing peak Malkovich things!) & Glenn Headly etc. I see that one as a loving ode to the master cartoonish director Frank Tashlin - the look of it/cinematography/set design is wonderful. I vaguely recall being peaved that it received a lukewarm reception. 🤷‍♂️
	♥ 10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik in VT @10:53 the 50’s ish look of the film dovetailed with the aesthetic of many downtown nyc performers who channeled the decade of their chidhood...
	♥ 10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 performers of the 80’s
	♥ 10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 like magnuson
	11:00pm Erik in VT: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 Indeed. Use of bright colors & plastics & vinyl, etc etc. the costuming in Making Mr Right is retro new found fun as well!
	♥ 11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik in VT @11:00 yes their aesthetic was about fun...
	♥ 11:02pm newton: we also talked about the Madonna of Israel, as if
	♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: please don't make me think about madonna!
	11:03pm Chris S.: Hola Charlie! I went to bed, had dinner, and now I'm catching the last hour of your show...
	♥ 11:04pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @10:53 Good call re Tashlin! Desperately and Making also have a sweet feminist vibe that I love
	♥ 11:04pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Electric Avenue" by "Eddy Grant" That'll teach me to use the bathroom! Missed this sweet classic
	♥ 11:04pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @11:03 Hi Chris! Glad to see you:)
	11:06pm Erik in VT: I was lucky enough to catch Magnuson performing one of her one woman extravaganza performance art comedy concerts - late 1980s. It was like a playful wacky funnier version of say Karen Finlay (still, both very intense & passionate!) 80s = great time for alive theatre events.
	11:07pm Chris S.: Looks like I missed a great show!
	♥ 11:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik in VT @11:06 i worked in downtown theater but just after….missed a lot… stings
	♥ 11:11pm tom tom the pipers son: @ charlie ...i am a fan of angel olsen too do you know of the live perf of ‘all things cosmic’ on the interthingy
	♥ 11:11pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Boom Boom" by "Trio" Love this
	11:11pm Chris S.: TRIO!!!!!
	♥ 11:11pm tom tom the pipers son: angel was adopted...
	♥ 11:12pm spodiodi: Old HS gf gave me a tape when we started dating after HS - exposing me to Trio for the first time
	♥ 11:12pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @11:06 Would have loved to see one of those shows! I did get to see Spalding Gray a couple times, and Laurie Anderson a couple times.
	11:13pm Erik in VT: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:08 Love that - I’ve read some of your comments regarding worthy experiences during those days. 👏
	♥ 11:13pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:11 tom tom -- no! but I will look for it:)
	♥ 11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik in VT @11:13 yes it was… thx...
	♥ 11:14pm northguineahills: caloscito!
	♥ 11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @11:13 it was at kim’s video…last iteration on first ave.
	♥ 11:16pm newton: 45 years and pres 45 later this song is unfortunately more timely than ever
	11:16pm Erik in VT: ↳ Charlie @11:12 Indeed! - Spaulding too was a master of the one man show! Saw a few as well. Great stuff. Also Eric Bogosian was great! I was also a huge fan of Richard Foreman’s wacked-out brilliant unhinged productions.
	♥ 11:18pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @11:14 (didn't have my glasses on) Carloscito!
	♥ 11:18pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:15 had many a friends work there. got some great deals on vinyl there...
	♥ 11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @11:16 right, maybe change the title to racist pres….
	11:19pm Kat in the chat: Toddling off to bed but will have the stream on for a bit. Thank you Charlie! ´Night, all.
	♥ 11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:18 spent a lot of time at mega kim's
	♥ 11:20pm newton: night Kat
	♥ 11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:19 g’nite kat
	♥ 11:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:19 abrazos!
	♥ 11:20pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 they never opened a Kim's Chi
	♥ 11:21pm Charlie: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:19 Thanks for being here, Kat! good night:)
	♥ 11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @11:20 k-pop...
	♥ 11:21pm northguineahills: i had two double shots of espresso yesterday, wow did that do a job on my gi tract (and make me feel sluggish all day)
	♥ 11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" (looks at the playlist above) when one horsegirl won't do.....😀
	♥ 11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:21 ouch…you do not have a sturdy digestive system do you...
	11:23pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "It was up in the mountains (read by Paul from L.A... - had to chuckle, a retro reminiscing, the 4th side of this Anderson, Burroughs, Giorno 2xLp had a 3 way shared spiral groove that I had never known of prior - could not understand how to get each different one to play on it … thought that was such a freaking cool idea concept! Has it been done before or since?
	♥ 11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" i much prefer horse girl to wetleg and the ilk
	♥ 11:25pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:23 i super sick when i was 15. ever since then, my gi tract has been fragile. it never stopped me from eating what i wanted. (drinking two-three pots of coffee in grad school probably didn't help w/ coffee beverages)
	♥ 11:25pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @11:23 That was a cool idea, but a bitch to try to cue up for radio! De La Soul have a 12" single where one side has two songs on it with concentric grooves like that. Clever, but maddening!
	♥ 11:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Erik in VT @11:23 there's a new flick based on burrough's "queer". daniel craig plays the protagonist. surprisingly good...
	11:26pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "High & Wild" by "Angel Olsen" Angel Olsen is a beauty to behold & listen to. Swoon.
	♥ 11:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Bored" by "Destroy All Monsters" god DAM!!!!
	♥ 11:26pm Charlie: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 I knew of that, missed it when it was in the theater -- would like to see it!
	♥ 11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @11:25 (errr, 2-3 pots of coffee/day in grad school
	11:27pm pp: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 Niagara of DAM, also a babe
	♥ 11:28pm newton: ↳ Erik in VT @11:23 the end of Au pairs playing with a different sex has a out leader that repeats endlessly, not the same as trippple spiral groov
	♥ 11:28pm northguineahills: ↳ pp @11:27 'tis she is!
	♥ 11:28pm northguineahills: ↳ pp @11:27 saw an incarnation of them in 2002, unfortunately, she wasn't part of it....
	♥ 11:30pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Paper Crown" by "Tele Novella" ove the penny on the track lyric and the images and memories it conjured
	♥ 11:31pm spodiodi: Love*
	♥ 11:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Bored" by "Destroy All Monsters" cherry red records not only sponsors (used to own) afc wimbledon, the footie team, but also runs the combined counties football league (divs 9-10 in england)
	♥ 11:32pm Charlie: belated HI to NGH!
	♥ 11:32pm Charlie: and pp:)
	11:33pm Erik in VT: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 Indeed. Dartmouth had a sneek preview screeing of Queer. It’s a doozy. Ex-Mr Bond 007 is great in his total commitment to the character. Some great stylish filmmaking. thought better than solid Italian director Luca G’s ‘challengers’. Bold followup.
	11:36pm Erik in VT: ↳ newton @11:28 Oh yea! Have that. Indeed, no match for a 3-way spiral groove with an entirely different artist depending where one drops the needle down!
	♥ 11:38pm Charlie: ↳ spodiodi @11:30 Agreed, great imagery in the lyrics of that song
	11:42pm Erik in VT: ↳ Charlie @11:25 Yea. It was definitely trial & error on finding the track one wanted to actually hear. Heh heh 😏. I didn’t know De La Soul had that on a 12”. Thanks for sharing that. Do you recall the title song. (From 1st Lp? era).
	11:43pm Chris S.: Wow
	♥ 11:43pm newton: ↳ Song: "I'll Come Running" by "Palomar" people just cant keep their shoes tied tonight
	♥ 11:44pm newton: well, at least they're not wearing loafers
	♥ 11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: oh yet another eno cover…whooda thunk…not me...
	♥ 11:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I'll Come Running" by "Palomar" new cover for me!
	♥ 11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: it is almost the future for me…i know this because chicken is marinating
	♥ 11:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "What Do You Want From This?" by "Peach Fuzz" should collab w/ the moldies....
	♥ 11:48pm tom tom the pipers son: luv’d ones…channeling shangri la looks
	♥ 11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks! charlie! …always enjoy your shows…!
	♥ 11:51pm Shira: really enjoying this show, thank you!
	♥ 11:52pm northguineahills: this has been awesomenessous charlie! dyankyu!

	♥ 11:52pm tom tom the pipers son: good night newton...
	11:53pm Chris S.: Great show, Charlie! I'm just wondering which song will be my earworm in the morning.
	♥ 11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ngh… movin’ on over to kendra…?
	♥ 11:55pm Charlie: Thanks, Chris! Thanks everyone! One more song, then I'll be checking out. See you next time, whenever that is:)
	11:55pm Chris S.: ↳ Song: "Where You Lead" by "Carole King" ❤️

	♥ 9:27pm Charlie: ↳ newton @9:23 no moustache!
	♥ 9:28pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:27 Oh, I thought there was none there. Maybe it's just light, while JW's is thin and dark.
	♥ 9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @9:28 Yeah, it could be a shadow. It's hard to tell. But I'm confident that's not John Waters.
	♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: nice tie-in segue!
	♥ 9:31pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:30 you got the reference!
	♥ 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Im Nin'alu" by "Ofra Haza" i believe this was an fmu hit back when...
	♥ 9:32pm newton: I wonder though, was she ever paid in full?
	♥ 9:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ newton @9:32 sadly, it was not to matter.
	9:33pm Dean: The Yemenite Songs album is from '84, but this tune appeared a few years later in remixed versions after she attracted mainstream attention.
	9:36pm Dean: Asphodel is such a treasure of a label. Yasunao Tone, Xenakis...
	♥ 9:38pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @9:33 it's on the original u.s. release of that album. my introduction to Ofra Haza (Thanks to trustworthy shanachie records catalogue reviews)
	9:38pm Dean: Very good pun, Infinite Scroll (though the Medievals worked with codices). Today I purchased an LP of works by Francesco Landini performed by Studio Der Frühen Musik, 1973.
	♥ 9:43pm schmutz: it was my bedtime but now im here to stay up and rock n roll

	♥ 9:47pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:46 Wendy! Me too. And I do make homebrew lots of sediment!
	9:48pm Dean: Long ago -- the '80s? -- I attended concerts by Kronos Quartet, who would perform their take on "Purple Haze" and, better, a weird medley of TV show theme songs. This Delta 5 takes me to the range of months when I decided I needed to back off from rock music. I think I even went a whole year not buying records. All of which only goes to show that you're delivering the goods tonight, Charlie.
	♥ 9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:47 Alex!
	9:54pm Dean: The Tiptons recently appeared in an interview on the local college station. Dang, they've been at it for years.
	♥ 9:54pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:54 Didn't know they were still around!
	9:56pm Dean: I first learned of them when I lived near LA. They appeared on KPFK, the regional Pacifica station. Probably the '80s or early '90s.
	♥ 9:56pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "The 8th Day" by "Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone ... Here they're joined by Ne Zhdali, an Estonian band led by guitarist Leonid Soybelman, who also had a group called Kletka Red.
	9:56pm Dean: I saw Kletka Red live at Victo pre-2000.
	♥ 9:58pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:56 they musta kicked some klezmer ass!
	9:59pm Dean: Dig the program that year: https://www.fimav.qc.ca/en/1998 I was impressed, for sure. I bought one of their CDs.
	10:00pm 1MT: Hi Charlie just tuning in sorry I missed the Stereolab beginning!
	♥ 10:00pm Charlie: ↳ Dean @9:59 Wow, that's a great lineup!
	10:00pm 1MT: hiya Wendy hi everybody!
	10:01pm Dean: Victo is always a great lineup.
	♥ 10:01pm Charlie: ↳ 1MT @10:00 1MT! Hi Mike:)
	♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: 1MT!
	♥ 10:07pm newton: O I love this record
	♥ 10:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "It was up in the mountains (read by Paul from L.A... Giorno Poetry Systems has been in my orbit lately.
	♥ 10:08pm newton: they never came back
	10:11pm Dean: Did Ginsberg dig John Skelton? I want to think so.
	♥ 10:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Complaint of the Skeleton to Time" by "Allen Gins... This is fun.
	10:13pm Kat in the chat: I’ve never heard anyone but me play this version of I’ll Come Running on the radio ❤️
	♥ 10:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I'll Come Running" by "Chica & The Folder" oh was not aware these covers existed outside of carol crows premium
	♥ 10:15pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 I put this on a marathon premium in 2005!
	10:15pm Kat in the chat: I should have gotten that premium. My friend Cinchel didn’t tell me he was on it until well after I’d selected swag!
	♥ 10:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 stupid words…i am tred...
	♥ 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @10:15 oh u huh…nice...
	10:18pm Kat in the chat: I ran across that cover in the course of a deep dive into Monika Enterprise
	♥ 10:18pm Charlie: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:18 Monika is a cool label:)
	10:18pm Kat in the chat: Ah I see what you did there Charlie
	♥ 10:22pm Troy: Great show!
	♥ 10:22pm newton: in '79 and '80 there was a red haired young woman who played violin often on 5th avenue, her name was Gudrun,
	♥ 10:25pm schmutz: wonderful
	♥ 10:26pm Roberto: Charles!!
	♥ 10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Desperately Seeking Susan"! I saw it when it came out, maybe in the theater. Then I watched it a few years ago. Maybe I'll watch it again. It's so good. I also recommend "Smithereens," by the same director, Susan Seidelman. Charlie already knows this movie, but you might not!
	♥ 10:29pm Charlie: Hi Troy! Thanks:) and hi Roberto!
	♥ 10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: eating dinner incrementally….before…potato…now …baby carrots in garlicky yogurt dill sauce… future …chicken...
	♥ 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Candi Staton! (picture cartoon hearts flying up from my eyes)
	♥ 10:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, time for me to get to bed. I gotta be on the radio early in the morning! Thanks, Charlie! We'll talk soon. xo
	♥ 10:31pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:31 'night, Wendy!
	10:32pm Kat in the chat: See you on the radio in the morning, Wendy!
	10:32pm Kat in the chat: I got cartoon hearts for Lorette Velvette
	♥ 10:32pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:29 heehee:)
	♥ 10:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Come on Over" by "Lorette Velvette" looks like lorette is the type of girl whon could have been on sun records had she lived temporally differentiated
	♥ 10:33pm newton: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:28 it bothers me that smithereens doesnt go anywhere and the characters dont go anywhere, loses steam, but that then might be part of the scene then. There was a GREAT interview with Susan Seidelman I think last year on TOPT show. very worth checking
	♥ 10:36pm Charlie: ↳ newton @10:33 She's interesting. I know what you mean about Smithereens, but not every movie has to go somewhere. I think it says something about the character. I also recommend her movie Making Mr. Right, which I think is under-known and really terrific.
	♥ 10:36pm WR: Hello Charlie and folks.
	♥ 10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:33 maybe seidelman could be an analogy to jim jarmusch
	♥ 10:38pm Charlie: heya, WR
	♥ 10:38pm Alex from Media: Time to call it a day. Thanks Charlie.
	10:38pm Kat in the chat: Co-signed on Making Mr. Right, I’d forgotten about that one myself
	♥ 10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @10:36 ann magnuson
	♥ 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i love this ramones song...
	♥ 10:40pm Charlie: see ya Alex!
	♥ 10:40pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:38 She's fab in Making Mr Right!
	10:40pm Erik in VT: @charlie: Ball of Fire (1941) that’s the fun movie werein the brilliant wacky drummer Gene Krupa plays a matchbox with 2 matches as drumsticks 🥁= great historic film moment! (& of course a payoff end to that)
	♥ 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i am nice to mommy but i talk to commies
	♥ 10:41pm newton: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 that IS a special moment in film!
	♥ 10:43pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 I played that whole scene on my show once years ago!
	♥ 10:43pm Roberto: One classic WFMU DJ subs for another!
	♥ 10:43pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @10:40 Also, Hi Erik!
	♥ 10:47pm tom tom the pipers son: i recommend this easy baby carrot recipe…steam carrots in microwave… salt, pepper garlic powder, dill… mix in large tablespoon plus of greek yogurt…basically a tzaziki sauce..
	♥ 10:48pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:47 no one puts baby in the microwave
	♥ 10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:48 ha ha! dirty steaming….
	10:50pm Kat in the chat: I was wondering if we’d hear this next!
	♥ 10:50pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Electric Avenue" by "Eddy Grant" Yeah!
	♥ 10:51pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:47 Sounds yummy and easy
	♥ 10:51pm Charlie: I prefer to put a fire under baby
	♥ 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: yea it is 5 minutes
	♥ 10:52pm tom tom the pipers son: remember to throw in water
	10:53pm Erik in VT: ↳ Charlie @10:36 Hi Charlie & all the busy nothing doers! - definitely on the same wavelength, as I was gonna recommend the fun (imao) Making Mr Right. I was floored by the entire vibe of that movie when it arrived. Not only great Ann Magnuson playing off of Malkovich (doing peak Malkovich things!) & Glenn Headly etc. I see that one as a loving ode to the master cartoonish director Frank Tashlin - the look of it/cinematography/set design is wonderful. I vaguely recall being peaved that it received a lukewarm reception. 🤷‍♂️
	♥ 10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik in VT @10:53 the 50’s ish look of the film dovetailed with the aesthetic of many downtown nyc performers who channeled the decade of their chidhood...
	♥ 10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 performers of the 80’s
	♥ 10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 like magnuson
	11:00pm Erik in VT: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 Indeed. Use of bright colors & plastics & vinyl, etc etc. the costuming in Making Mr Right is retro new found fun as well!
	♥ 11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik in VT @11:00 yes their aesthetic was about fun...
	♥ 11:02pm newton: we also talked about the Madonna of Israel, as if
	♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: please don't make me think about madonna!
	11:03pm Chris S.: Hola Charlie! I went to bed, had dinner, and now I'm catching the last hour of your show...
	♥ 11:04pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @10:53 Good call re Tashlin! Desperately and Making also have a sweet feminist vibe that I love
	♥ 11:04pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Electric Avenue" by "Eddy Grant" That'll teach me to use the bathroom! Missed this sweet classic
	♥ 11:04pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @11:03 Hi Chris! Glad to see you:)
	11:06pm Erik in VT: I was lucky enough to catch Magnuson performing one of her one woman extravaganza performance art comedy concerts - late 1980s. It was like a playful wacky funnier version of say Karen Finlay (still, both very intense & passionate!) 80s = great time for alive theatre events.

	♥ 11:16pm newton: 45 years and pres 45 later this song is unfortunately more timely than ever
	11:16pm Erik in VT: ↳ Charlie @11:12 Indeed! - Spaulding too was a master of the one man show! Saw a few as well. Great stuff. Also Eric Bogosian was great! I was also a huge fan of Richard Foreman’s wacked-out brilliant unhinged productions.
	♥ 11:18pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @11:14 (didn't have my glasses on) Carloscito!
	♥ 11:18pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:15 had many a friends work there. got some great deals on vinyl there...
	♥ 11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @11:16 right, maybe change the title to racist pres….
	11:19pm Kat in the chat: Toddling off to bed but will have the stream on for a bit. Thank you Charlie! ´Night, all.
	♥ 11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:18 spent a lot of time at mega kim's

	♥ 11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @11:20 k-pop...
	♥ 11:21pm northguineahills: i had two double shots of espresso yesterday, wow did that do a job on my gi tract (and make me feel sluggish all day)
	♥ 11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" (looks at the playlist above) when one horsegirl won't do.....😀
	♥ 11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:21 ouch…you do not have a sturdy digestive system do you...
	11:23pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "It was up in the mountains (read by Paul from L.A... - had to chuckle, a retro reminiscing, the 4th side of this Anderson, Burroughs, Giorno 2xLp had a 3 way shared spiral groove that I had never known of prior - could not understand how to get each different one to play on it … thought that was such a freaking cool idea concept! Has it been done before or since?
	♥ 11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Anti-Glory" by "Horsegirl" i much prefer horse girl to wetleg and the ilk
	♥ 11:25pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:23 i super sick when i was 15. ever since then, my gi tract has been fragile. it never stopped me from eating what i wanted. (drinking two-three pots of coffee in grad school probably didn't help w/ coffee beverages)
	♥ 11:25pm Charlie: ↳ Erik in VT @11:23 That was a cool idea, but a bitch to try to cue up for radio! De La Soul have a 12" single where one side has two songs on it with concentric grooves like that. Clever, but maddening!
	♥ 11:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Erik in VT @11:23 there's a new flick based on burrough's "queer". daniel craig plays the protagonist. surprisingly good...
	11:26pm Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "High & Wild" by "Angel Olsen" Angel Olsen is a beauty to behold & listen to. Swoon.
	♥ 11:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Bored" by "Destroy All Monsters" god DAM!!!!
	♥ 11:26pm Charlie: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 I knew of that, missed it when it was in the theater -- would like to see it!
	♥ 11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @11:25 (errr, 2-3 pots of coffee/day in grad school
	11:27pm pp: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 Niagara of DAM, also a babe
	♥ 11:28pm newton: ↳ Erik in VT @11:23 the end of Au pairs playing with a different sex has a out leader that repeats endlessly, not the same as trippple spiral groov
	♥ 11:28pm northguineahills: ↳ pp @11:27 'tis she is!
	♥ 11:28pm northguineahills: ↳ pp @11:27 saw an incarnation of them in 2002, unfortunately, she wasn't part of it....
	♥ 11:30pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Paper Crown" by "Tele Novella" ove the penny on the track lyric and the images and memories it conjured
	♥ 11:31pm spodiodi: Love*
	♥ 11:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Bored" by "Destroy All Monsters" cherry red records not only sponsors (used to own) afc wimbledon, the footie team, but also runs the combined counties football league (divs 9-10 in england)
	♥ 11:32pm Charlie: belated HI to NGH!
	♥ 11:32pm Charlie: and pp:)
	11:33pm Erik in VT: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 Indeed. Dartmouth had a sneek preview screeing of Queer. It’s a doozy. Ex-Mr Bond 007 is great in his total commitment to the character. Some great stylish filmmaking. thought better than solid Italian director Luca G’s ‘challengers’. Bold followup.
	11:36pm Erik in VT: ↳ newton @11:28 Oh yea! Have that. Indeed, no match for a 3-way spiral groove with an entirely different artist depending where one drops the needle down!
	♥ 11:38pm Charlie: ↳ spodiodi @11:30 Agreed, great imagery in the lyrics of that song
	11:42pm Erik in VT: ↳ Charlie @11:25 Yea. It was definitely trial & error on finding the track one wanted to actually hear. Heh heh 😏. I didn’t know De La Soul had that on a 12”. Thanks for sharing that. Do you recall the title song. (From 1st Lp? era).
	11:43pm Chris S.: Wow
	♥ 11:43pm newton: ↳ Song: "I'll Come Running" by "Palomar" people just cant keep their shoes tied tonight
	♥ 11:44pm newton: well, at least they're not wearing loafers
	♥ 11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: oh yet another eno cover…whooda thunk…not me...
	♥ 11:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I'll Come Running" by "Palomar" new cover for me!
	♥ 11:46pm tom tom the pipers son: it is almost the future for me…i know this because chicken is marinating
	♥ 11:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "What Do You Want From This?" by "Peach Fuzz" should collab w/ the moldies....
