WFMU: Irwin Chusid: Playlist from December 14, 2011

Listener comments!
	3:02pm Guess: Pseu is riveted to the stream awaiting your Guetta selection...
	3:02pm Matt from Springfield: Who're those guys?
	3:04pm abby in france: that is a great pic...
	3:04pm Guess: See Pseu's Friday playlist and Irwin's raves thereupon
	3:04pm hamburger: just a couple o' pee pals
	3:05pm Laura L: Looks like Kevin McCarthy in the light suit but it's not, is it, Irwin.
	3:06pm still b/p: Today's show: Treading water, beat synching.
	3:06pm Listening Out There: Whittaker Chambers on the left, maybe?
	3:07pm hamburger: a truly unifying stream
	3:08pm Irwin: Click on for the reveal.
	3:10pm Matt from Springfield: REVEAL! Interesting.
	3:12pm G: I won't spill the surprise, but given the lefty's best-known character... If the photog had asked them to turn around and pose, now THAT would be a REVEAL.
	3:13pm Dead Corporate Eyes: it says those guys are "skylarking". I guess that's what that's called...
	3:13pm das: http://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/david_bowie_pissing_into_a_toaster
	3:16pm G: urbandictionary.com, "skylarking": "to fool around or act strange, also to galavant or to commit tomfoolery or shenanigans. " (w/ the usual web 2.0 dumbass writing slips corrected)
	3:20pm Matt from Springfield: XTC did a great song called "Skylarking"--the tranquil feel of it probably relates to fooling around. Good to know there's no pee connotations to it. There isn't, is there???????
	3:21pm G: urbandictionray alternate skylarking definition: "A sexual act whereby a woman lays down naked on her back and man crouches over her, naked as well, and vomits down into her open mouth. Originated from the common misconception that the cover of seminal English Pastoral-New Wave-Baroque Pop band XTC's classic 1986 album of the same name depicts a pair of lovers engaging in the described act. In reality, they are each just playing the flute."
	3:21pm Matt from Springfield: @das: Wow, Bowie's committing "taboobicide"!
	3:23pm G: Ken'll sic Krampus on him.
	3:24pm Sir Winston: And that, Irwin, is why you will use Firefox regardless.
	3:24pm Dead Corporate Eyes: I'm gonna skylark all over this playlist
	3:24pm Obvious Line: Someone firefuxed up
	3:25pm Sir Winston O'Boogie: Give pees a chance!
	3:26pm das: that explains the decline in popularity of the buick skylark
	3:32pm paula pc: thanks for playing zombie...an old favorite...
	3:33pm das: Still an odd cover: http://www.coveralia.com/caratulas/XTC-Skylarking-%282001%29-Frontal.php
	3:36pm eric: I was totally gonna listen to the Patti Smith version of this later today.
	3:36pm Joe Brooks: Send that yowling chick up to my apartment, stat. She'll do.
	3:36pm Matt from Springfield: At least the piano playing is adequate and technically proficient.
	3:37pm Matt from Springfield: Really the problem is that's a terrible song--I don't know any way to make it amazing (wink,wink, Tullis and Clark remixers!!)
	3:38pm Matt from Springfield: @Joe: The piano player too? Or is "adequate and technically proficient" not kinky enough for ya?
	3:38pm Reality Check: Unless someone rescues you fairly soon, treading water actually PRECEDES sinking.
	3:39pm still b/p: My life's all it up now like the biggest. cheeriest, craziest Christmas light display in the neighborhood.
	3:39pm Joe Brooks: Someone give that guy some pepto-bismol.
	3:39pm Matt from Springfield: Play this at 45! Or 78!!!
	3:40pm still b/p: This sounds like Terry Jones of Monty Python.
	3:40pm Roberto: Oh now I get it, Tray is the dog's name.
	3:41pm Joe Brooks: tray bien, bob
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: Mellotron!
	3:45pm Roberto: Yes initially I thought it had something to do with a surface on which to serve an old dog, or perhaps a surface on which an old dog's secretions are stored.
	3:48pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, those Dutch sure are catching up to Raymond Scott!
	3:48pm Matt from Springfield: @Roberto: A tray made out of an old dog?
	3:48pm Excessive Dog Owner / Excessive Gambler: Walk time! Come Ace, come Deuce, come Trey! Here, Jack! Here, Queen! Here, King!
	3:50pm Roberto: Or perhaps it is the tray itself that is old. These are all valid interpretations.
	3:51pm Matt from Springfield: Positivity, hrrrumph!
	3:53pm Cynic: I'm positively negative
	3:53pm Jello Biafra: Shut up. Be happy.
	3:55pm Matt from Springfield: YES, post-modern expropriating of dead people in advertisements!! Along with AM radio mashups, WFMU is becoming not a "non-commercial", but a "post-commercial" station! Ba-da-da-da-da, I'm lovin' it!
	4:03pm Roberto: Next up: Magnetic Fields covers the Stones' "Some Girls"
	4:04pm Matt from Springfield: The Magnetic Fields could cover "Some Girls" on their next album. And the Rolling Stones could record "Crushing Love" for the Some Girls reissue.
	4:04pm Marmalade kitty: whats going down in the photograph?
	4:05pm Matt from Springfield: Crushing Love could then cover "Rolling Stones" on their Magnetic Fields album and<rip of space-time>
	4:05pm Duh: @MK: Neither of them, yet
	4:06pm Marmalade kitty: cheeky shot, whoever took that one!
	4:06pm Matt from Springfield: This Lawrence Welk Uncorked is a great album, liking all the stuff off it so far!
	4:07pm Shaggy: Wasn't me.
	4:07pm Duh: with their pants on, it's not as cheeky as it might be
	4:09pm Duh: @MK: click the pic for detailed info
	4:09pm Matt from Springfield: What's new, Marmalade cat?
	4:11pm Matt from Springfield: In Heaven there is no beer, and so it seems the Sisters of St. Francis are drinking it here!
	4:17pm Carmichael: Checking in, dawgs.
	4:17pm Marmalade kitty: the "caught", guilty look and the how dare you! look. I love the tiled wall hello Matt!
	4:18pm Announcement: Note: Lou Reed will dis-appear on any upcoming program before it actually happens
	4:18pm trrs: How about a decent moments reel.
	4:19pm or: a could be worse reel
	4:19pm trrs: From the "it rarely gets better than this" pile.
	4:20pm Van in Dallas: Been enjoying, gotta run. Thanks Irwin! @Matt from Springfield - how ya doing? That was a nicely solved mystery for us you did over on Julie's show-before-last :)
	4:21pm Parq: Aha, that's Dame Edna! Looks a little like Lee J. Cobb, I think.
	4:21pm trrs: it can always get worse. (Not with this song, though; it's been years since I last heard this on a boxed tape.)
	4:21pm Carmichael: OK, so what's mudlarking??
	4:22pm Don't Ask: If skylarking is done by two guys at a urinal, the mudlarking is...
	4:23pm Listening Out There: Mudlarking = http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mudlarking
	4:25pm Matt from Springfield: @Van: Thanks! I was reading comments before looking at the Archive, and was wondering what that comment meant; then when I heard the Jefferson Airplane song, I suddenly remembered it and put the pieces together!
	4:26pm Matt from Springfield: Go GHP! Always great!
	4:27pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, can't believe they let them sing this one.
	4:28pm Maybe: Every camp counsler was under 25
	4:28pm Blob: Is Worthwhile Occupation a cover? Of what? I loved that!
	4:32pm Maybe: ...someone at the camp wrote it; the lyrics for "Worthwhile Occupation" are not showing up on google, at a quick search...
	4:33pm Blob: Holy cow! Irwin is that an original track?
	4:33pm Irwin: No clue.
	4:34pm Matt from Springfield: Ha ha, Bob's cracking up!
	4:37pm Alternate Title: "Black Hole SelectQuote"
	4:38pm Son: How is this not a cover of Big Bikes, from Wretch by Kyuss?
	4:38pm chris: Best selectquotes yet!
	4:38pm Matt from Springfield: Grungey Tullis & Clark!
	4:40pm Matt from Springfield: Cars 4 Kids - 666 thrown in there too! YES!
	4:42pm wildneil: This clown is ruining a GREAT song! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
	4:42pm Karaoke bartender: Jeez, I hope this guy tips well.
	4:42pm Terese Kelly & Diane Schacht: Chris is pretty good!
	4:43pm hamburger: he's giving it his all people!
	4:43pm Listeners: That's the problem, hamburger
	4:43pm another old man: sing is listenable now
	4:43pm Roberto: Wizz-O OWNS!!
	4:44pm Matt from Springfield: @TK&DS: He can play guitar too! Have him join you two as your male vocalist, and he'll play some shredding acoustic solos as well!
	4:44pm conrad: i cant imagine this song without a guy clapping for about 10 seconds during that little part.
	4:50pm Matt from Springfield: Tom, Dick & Harry... Can you believe that on the Classical WETA radio station, an underwriter they always announce is "the law firm of Harness, Dickey & Pierce". I mean do they realize what it sounds like when you read their name aloud?!
	4:51pm Matt from Springfield: Their website is hdp.com--you'd think "HDP" or "HDP Inc" would sound more professional and less like a joke.
	4:51pm Blob: I love this! I love you Irwin!
	4:52pm Dead Corporate Eyes: law firms always have the weirdest names. My guess is that people become lawyers because they're always getting picked on because of their weird names.
	4:55pm Dewey Screwham and Howe: Expect a cease and desist letter messengered in the morning.
	4:57pm G: @Blob: That camp seems to be there still -- Orange County, NY. Google it.
	4:58pm Nasty Brutish & Short LLC: ditto DS&H
	5:00pm Winkebottom Personal Injury: @NB&S THAT IS INFRINGEMENT OF CONCURRENCE NB&S! WE'RE ON YOUR ASSES
	5:00pm Parq: I've met a lawyer named Lawless, and another one named -- I swear -- Greathead.
	5:01pm SelectQuote: We're focusgrouping a new tagline: "We buy spots, you turn down the volume." How about it?
	5:04pm Ike: "It's been discreetly removed from the schedule" -- LOL! Whut happened?! Did somebody do something bad on the air for the lulz? Heh.
	5:04pm Brass Knuckles: That sermon show was some god awful crap.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: I wasn't surprised by the discreet removal, weev probably didn't want to do that a whole season, but Ken helped him do 2 royally-pissing-off broadcasts as a joke on us and the wider radio audience.
	5:06pm Beavis: He said "God awful" heheheh
	5:14pm corduroy moccasins: just noticed weev's posted a rant since being fired on his playlist page: http://bit.ly/sncBWe
	5:15pm G: Yep, his goodbye at the end of his last playlist, from last week
	5:18pm Lizardner Dave: So basically his point was if WFMU had Islam in the AM he'd be fine and Dave Emory would not have lasted. I could see that.
	5:19pm Ike: Hmmm, now I'm curious to hear it. Will check archives. I am surprised that so many people apparently took it seriously though. What, you thought a real Xtian preacher was on FMU?
	5:20pm Sinner's Crossroads: @Ike: Yeah, recockulous.
	5:21pm glenn: why not? irwin's on the air alongside all the commies.
	5:22pm Brass Knuckles: Didn't know there was any controversy other than it made me turn off the radio. The cadence of his voice annoyed me.
	5:22pm Irwin: @Glenn: Durned tootin'! I was one once. Then I kinda sorta growed up.
	5:24pm Common Sense: Some people change their thinking as they gather information and figure things out better, over the years and decades. Some people ossify after their early 20s and never have a single new thought ever again.
	5:26pm glenn: don't get me wrong. i abhor extremists of all stripes, particularly the christian right wing.
	5:29pm Irwin: What about Harry Partch? Can you deal with his extremism?
	5:30pm glenn: meh.
	5:31pm Mr. Lowry: Harry Partch extreme? He was background music to my childhood. Actually, that explains a lot.
	5:33pm Lizardner Dave: I abhor the Islamic right wing more than the Christian right wing but that's mainly because I know people who were killed by Islamic right wingers and I don't know any of the people who were killed by Christian right wingers. YMMV.
	5:35pm glenn: that's a reasonable point of view. but what if you did?
	5:35pm kat330: (Permission to come aboard.) Such a serious discussion as a holiday prelude!
	5:36pm glenn: what does ymmv mean?
	5:36pm kat330: Your mileage may vary.
	5:37pm Common Sense: your mileage may vary. internet lingo since the 90s, if not the 80s
	5:37pm Lizardner Dave: "Your Mileage May Vary". It's an Internet abbreviation thing meaning "You may have had a different experience regarding this issue". All the kids use it, it's more popular than Pokemon.
	5:37pm Common Sense: YMMV, FTW
	5:37pm glenn: first time i've ever seen it.
	5:38pm Mr. Lowry: YMMV: l33t haxor for "yummy'
	5:38pm Matt from Springfield: @LDave: Are you a veteran? Or did you know victims of 9/11? Or both? That's a good point, btw. Fortunately I don't know any victims of either personally, but statistically more people worldwide have been killed by Islamic extremists than by Christian extremists in the last century.
	5:38pm Common Sense: NP gramps, LMFAO
	5:39pm noob: lol :-)
	5:39pm Common Sense: O:-)
	5:40pm glenn: well gee, common sense, aren't you special?
	5:40pm noob: 8-)
	5:41pm Lizardner Dave: I know two 9/11 victims and while I didn't know him personally a close friend of my nephew's was killed in Afghanistan. Interestingly enough his funeral was picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church. I don't know anyone who was killed in Oklahoma City or Norway.
	5:42pm newt: Anis and Anis on Journal Square
	5:43pm Common Sense: Common Sense is not common ( <--- cliche alert )
	5:44pm kat330: What a shocker. (Lou Reed has been postponed until January.)
	5:44pm other david: Ahhhhh Lamin is back?! fistpumps
	5:47pm glenn: it's almost 2012. as far as i am concerned, anybody who is living according to the dictates of a mythical god, as laid out on the pages of the greatest work of fiction the world has ever known, is a deluded retard. that goes for muslims and jews as well.
	5:47pm The Next Supergroup: Terese Kelly Diane Schacht Wizz-O Gail Angelos first release: "We'd Like to Teach the World to Sing"
	5:47pm Matt from Springfield: @LDave: My respects--three people at my high school had close relatives who were on the Pentagon plane or the WTC. The Pentagon plane actually passed over my high school; I didn't hear it in the middle of the 2-story block, but those in trailers and the library heard it.
	5:48pm kat330: Question: What IS the novelty of novelty music, at least long-term?
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: Knock on wood that no one I know or work with in the Army and other services will meet his/her maker. Fortunately Iraq is out of the equation.
	5:50pm DS: Robert Earl Keen "Merry Christmas From The Family" http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=1&ved=0CEYQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DP37xPiRz1sg&ei=ACjpTpuwBITZgQfG3az4CA&usg=AFQjCNE02KGr7c8KWO8lEjufnGbVAjFqhQ&sig2=Az_cgeLScfAsGe9v7nb8hA
	5:50pm The Next Supergroup: OK, with San it's now a quintet
	5:50pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: I heard this on your first NJX@NY$! Love all the NY/NJ voices on that collection!
	5:51pm other david: @The Next Supergroup - no room for Wing or Mrs. Miller?
	5:52pm Jasperodus: Novelty requires lack of short term memory. That's probably why it appeals in my case.
	5:52pm Matt from Springfield: Rainy weekends are nice and cozy to spend with one you love, it's a good topic but it's his (lack of) songwriting skill and thick talk-sing-scat voice that really make this song.
	5:52pm kat330: Lamest Christmas release this year, IMO, is "She & Him"'s ("Shim's). Uninspired and sounds like they knocked if off in a couple of spare hours.
	5:52pm Jasperodus: Appreciating novelty requires problems with short term memory. I think that may be why I like it.
	5:53pm Matt from Springfield: @OD: Wing deserves a higher class of supergroup! :)
	5:53pm Ike: Hallelujah, @Glenn@5:47.
	5:55pm Old Timer's Disease Victim: What was that again, Jasper? Sorry, it slipped my mind.
	5:55pm Matt from Springfield: @OD: Wing could partner with the Alexander Berger(DNA) guy from Canada for example :)
	5:56pm Matt from Springfield: Power children to cap off the day! WAWAWWAWAWAWWAA!!
	5:56pm Show Setup: Amanda Climax Format
	5:58pm other david: @Matt hah nice idea :)
	5:58pm Lurch: YOOOOOOUUUUU SCREEEEECHEDD???
	5:59pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Irwin! Always a fun show over here!
	5:59pm Al from England: ur voice is nice and a little bit (a lot) of harry partch is ALWAYS a great idea. also nice job of cutting off that traffic song at the guitar solo..
	6:00pm kat330: Yay! Any possibility of getting your new compilation with a donation tomorrow (at least an IOU for it)?
	6:01pm Matt from Springfield: @Al: He probably cut it off because he dislikes the DRUM solo! He does that sometimes! :)

	3:48pm Excessive Dog Owner / Excessive Gambler: Walk time! Come Ace, come Deuce, come Trey! Here, Jack! Here, Queen! Here, King!
	3:50pm Roberto: Or perhaps it is the tray itself that is old. These are all valid interpretations.
	3:51pm Matt from Springfield: Positivity, hrrrumph!
	3:53pm Cynic: I'm positively negative
	3:53pm Jello Biafra: Shut up. Be happy.
	3:55pm Matt from Springfield: YES, post-modern expropriating of dead people in advertisements!! Along with AM radio mashups, WFMU is becoming not a "non-commercial", but a "post-commercial" station! Ba-da-da-da-da, I'm lovin' it!
	4:03pm Roberto: Next up: Magnetic Fields covers the Stones' "Some Girls"
	4:04pm Matt from Springfield: The Magnetic Fields could cover "Some Girls" on their next album. And the Rolling Stones could record "Crushing Love" for the Some Girls reissue.
	4:04pm Marmalade kitty: whats going down in the photograph?
	4:05pm Matt from Springfield: Crushing Love could then cover "Rolling Stones" on their Magnetic Fields album and<rip of space-time>
	4:05pm Duh: @MK: Neither of them, yet
	4:06pm Marmalade kitty: cheeky shot, whoever took that one!
	4:06pm Matt from Springfield: This Lawrence Welk Uncorked is a great album, liking all the stuff off it so far!
	4:07pm Shaggy: Wasn't me.
	4:07pm Duh: with their pants on, it's not as cheeky as it might be
	4:09pm Duh: @MK: click the pic for detailed info
	4:09pm Matt from Springfield: What's new, Marmalade cat?
	4:11pm Matt from Springfield: In Heaven there is no beer, and so it seems the Sisters of St. Francis are drinking it here!
	4:17pm Carmichael: Checking in, dawgs.
	4:17pm Marmalade kitty: the "caught", guilty look and the how dare you! look. I love the tiled wall hello Matt!
	4:18pm Announcement: Note: Lou Reed will dis-appear on any upcoming program before it actually happens
	4:18pm trrs: How about a decent moments reel.
	4:19pm or: a could be worse reel
	4:19pm trrs: From the "it rarely gets better than this" pile.
	4:20pm Van in Dallas: Been enjoying, gotta run. Thanks Irwin! @Matt from Springfield - how ya doing? That was a nicely solved mystery for us you did over on Julie's show-before-last :)
	4:21pm Parq: Aha, that's Dame Edna! Looks a little like Lee J. Cobb, I think.
	4:21pm trrs: it can always get worse. (Not with this song, though; it's been years since I last heard this on a boxed tape.)
	4:21pm Carmichael: OK, so what's mudlarking??
	4:22pm Don't Ask: If skylarking is done by two guys at a urinal, the mudlarking is...
	4:23pm Listening Out There: Mudlarking = http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mudlarking
	4:25pm Matt from Springfield: @Van: Thanks! I was reading comments before looking at the Archive, and was wondering what that comment meant; then when I heard the Jefferson Airplane song, I suddenly remembered it and put the pieces together!
	4:26pm Matt from Springfield: Go GHP! Always great!
	4:27pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, can't believe they let them sing this one.
	4:28pm Maybe: Every camp counsler was under 25
	4:28pm Blob: Is Worthwhile Occupation a cover? Of what? I loved that!
	4:32pm Maybe: ...someone at the camp wrote it; the lyrics for "Worthwhile Occupation" are not showing up on google, at a quick search...
	4:33pm Blob: Holy cow! Irwin is that an original track?
	4:33pm Irwin: No clue.
	4:34pm Matt from Springfield: Ha ha, Bob's cracking up!
	4:37pm Alternate Title: "Black Hole SelectQuote"
	4:38pm Son: How is this not a cover of Big Bikes, from Wretch by Kyuss?
	4:38pm chris: Best selectquotes yet!
	4:38pm Matt from Springfield: Grungey Tullis & Clark!
	4:40pm Matt from Springfield: Cars 4 Kids - 666 thrown in there too! YES!
	4:42pm wildneil: This clown is ruining a GREAT song! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
	4:42pm Karaoke bartender: Jeez, I hope this guy tips well.
	4:42pm Terese Kelly & Diane Schacht: Chris is pretty good!
	4:43pm hamburger: he's giving it his all people!
	4:43pm Listeners: That's the problem, hamburger
	4:43pm another old man: sing is listenable now
	4:43pm Roberto: Wizz-O OWNS!!
	4:44pm Matt from Springfield: @TK&DS: He can play guitar too! Have him join you two as your male vocalist, and he'll play some shredding acoustic solos as well!
	4:44pm conrad: i cant imagine this song without a guy clapping for about 10 seconds during that little part.
	4:50pm Matt from Springfield: Tom, Dick & Harry... Can you believe that on the Classical WETA radio station, an underwriter they always announce is "the law firm of Harness, Dickey & Pierce". I mean do they realize what it sounds like when you read their name aloud?!
	4:51pm Matt from Springfield: Their website is hdp.com--you'd think "HDP" or "HDP Inc" would sound more professional and less like a joke.
	4:51pm Blob: I love this! I love you Irwin!
	4:52pm Dead Corporate Eyes: law firms always have the weirdest names. My guess is that people become lawyers because they're always getting picked on because of their weird names.
	4:55pm Dewey Screwham and Howe: Expect a cease and desist letter messengered in the morning.
	4:57pm G: @Blob: That camp seems to be there still -- Orange County, NY. Google it.
	4:58pm Nasty Brutish & Short LLC: ditto DS&H
	5:00pm Winkebottom Personal Injury: @NB&S THAT IS INFRINGEMENT OF CONCURRENCE NB&S! WE'RE ON YOUR ASSES
	5:00pm Parq: I've met a lawyer named Lawless, and another one named -- I swear -- Greathead.
	5:01pm SelectQuote: We're focusgrouping a new tagline: "We buy spots, you turn down the volume." How about it?
	5:04pm Ike: "It's been discreetly removed from the schedule" -- LOL! Whut happened?! Did somebody do something bad on the air for the lulz? Heh.
	5:04pm Brass Knuckles: That sermon show was some god awful crap.
	5:06pm Matt from Springfield: I wasn't surprised by the discreet removal, weev probably didn't want to do that a whole season, but Ken helped him do 2 royally-pissing-off broadcasts as a joke on us and the wider radio audience.
	5:06pm Beavis: He said "God awful" heheheh
	5:14pm corduroy moccasins: just noticed weev's posted a rant since being fired on his playlist page: http://bit.ly/sncBWe
	5:15pm G: Yep, his goodbye at the end of his last playlist, from last week
	5:18pm Lizardner Dave: So basically his point was if WFMU had Islam in the AM he'd be fine and Dave Emory would not have lasted. I could see that.
	5:19pm Ike: Hmmm, now I'm curious to hear it. Will check archives. I am surprised that so many people apparently took it seriously though. What, you thought a real Xtian preacher was on FMU?
	5:20pm Sinner's Crossroads: @Ike: Yeah, recockulous.
	5:21pm glenn: why not? irwin's on the air alongside all the commies.
	5:22pm Brass Knuckles: Didn't know there was any controversy other than it made me turn off the radio. The cadence of his voice annoyed me.
	5:22pm Irwin: @Glenn: Durned tootin'! I was one once. Then I kinda sorta growed up.
	5:24pm Common Sense: Some people change their thinking as they gather information and figure things out better, over the years and decades. Some people ossify after their early 20s and never have a single new thought ever again.
	5:26pm glenn: don't get me wrong. i abhor extremists of all stripes, particularly the christian right wing.
	5:29pm Irwin: What about Harry Partch? Can you deal with his extremism?
	5:30pm glenn: meh.
	5:31pm Mr. Lowry: Harry Partch extreme? He was background music to my childhood. Actually, that explains a lot.
	5:33pm Lizardner Dave: I abhor the Islamic right wing more than the Christian right wing but that's mainly because I know people who were killed by Islamic right wingers and I don't know any of the people who were killed by Christian right wingers. YMMV.
	5:35pm glenn: that's a reasonable point of view. but what if you did?
	5:35pm kat330: (Permission to come aboard.) Such a serious discussion as a holiday prelude!
	5:36pm glenn: what does ymmv mean?
	5:36pm kat330: Your mileage may vary.
	5:37pm Common Sense: your mileage may vary. internet lingo since the 90s, if not the 80s
	5:37pm Lizardner Dave: "Your Mileage May Vary". It's an Internet abbreviation thing meaning "You may have had a different experience regarding this issue". All the kids use it, it's more popular than Pokemon.
	5:37pm Common Sense: YMMV, FTW
	5:37pm glenn: first time i've ever seen it.
	5:38pm Mr. Lowry: YMMV: l33t haxor for "yummy'
	5:38pm Matt from Springfield: @LDave: Are you a veteran? Or did you know victims of 9/11? Or both? That's a good point, btw. Fortunately I don't know any victims of either personally, but statistically more people worldwide have been killed by Islamic extremists than by Christian extremists in the last century.
	5:38pm Common Sense: NP gramps, LMFAO
	5:39pm noob: lol :-)
	5:39pm Common Sense: O:-)
	5:40pm glenn: well gee, common sense, aren't you special?
	5:40pm noob: 8-)
	5:41pm Lizardner Dave: I know two 9/11 victims and while I didn't know him personally a close friend of my nephew's was killed in Afghanistan. Interestingly enough his funeral was picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church. I don't know anyone who was killed in Oklahoma City or Norway.
	5:42pm newt: Anis and Anis on Journal Square
	5:43pm Common Sense: Common Sense is not common ( <--- cliche alert )
	5:44pm kat330: What a shocker. (Lou Reed has been postponed until January.)
	5:44pm other david: Ahhhhh Lamin is back?! fistpumps
	5:47pm glenn: it's almost 2012. as far as i am concerned, anybody who is living according to the dictates of a mythical god, as laid out on the pages of the greatest work of fiction the world has ever known, is a deluded retard. that goes for muslims and jews as well.
	5:47pm The Next Supergroup: Terese Kelly Diane Schacht Wizz-O Gail Angelos first release: "We'd Like to Teach the World to Sing"
	5:47pm Matt from Springfield: @LDave: My respects--three people at my high school had close relatives who were on the Pentagon plane or the WTC. The Pentagon plane actually passed over my high school; I didn't hear it in the middle of the 2-story block, but those in trailers and the library heard it.
	5:48pm kat330: Question: What IS the novelty of novelty music, at least long-term?
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: Knock on wood that no one I know or work with in the Army and other services will meet his/her maker. Fortunately Iraq is out of the equation.
	5:50pm DS: Robert Earl Keen "Merry Christmas From The Family" http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=1&ved=0CEYQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DP37xPiRz1sg&ei=ACjpTpuwBITZgQfG3az4CA&usg=AFQjCNE02KGr7c8KWO8lEjufnGbVAjFqhQ&sig2=Az_cgeLScfAsGe9v7nb8hA
	5:50pm The Next Supergroup: OK, with San it's now a quintet
	5:50pm Matt from Springfield: @Irwin: I heard this on your first NJX@NY$! Love all the NY/NJ voices on that collection!
	5:51pm other david: @The Next Supergroup - no room for Wing or Mrs. Miller?
	5:52pm Jasperodus: Novelty requires lack of short term memory. That's probably why it appeals in my case.
	5:52pm Matt from Springfield: Rainy weekends are nice and cozy to spend with one you love, it's a good topic but it's his (lack of) songwriting skill and thick talk-sing-scat voice that really make this song.
	5:52pm kat330: Lamest Christmas release this year, IMO, is "She & Him"'s ("Shim's). Uninspired and sounds like they knocked if off in a couple of spare hours.
	5:52pm Jasperodus: Appreciating novelty requires problems with short term memory. I think that may be why I like it.
	5:53pm Matt from Springfield: @OD: Wing deserves a higher class of supergroup! :)
	5:53pm Ike: Hallelujah, @Glenn@5:47.
	5:55pm Old Timer's Disease Victim: What was that again, Jasper? Sorry, it slipped my mind.
	5:55pm Matt from Springfield: @OD: Wing could partner with the Alexander Berger(DNA) guy from Canada for example :)
	5:56pm Matt from Springfield: Power children to cap off the day! WAWAWWAWAWAWWAA!!
	5:56pm Show Setup: Amanda Climax Format
	5:58pm other david: @Matt hah nice idea :)
	5:58pm Lurch: YOOOOOOUUUUU SCREEEEECHEDD???
	5:59pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks Irwin! Always a fun show over here!
	5:59pm Al from England: ur voice is nice and a little bit (a lot) of harry partch is ALWAYS a great idea. also nice job of cutting off that traffic song at the guitar solo..
	6:00pm kat330: Yay! Any possibility of getting your new compilation with a donation tomorrow (at least an IOU for it)?
	6:01pm Matt from Springfield: @Al: He probably cut it off because he dislikes the DRUM solo! He does that sometimes! :)
