	12:10pm pierre: Bonjour Irene !
	12:10pm kat330: Hi, Irene! Hello fellow listeners! Off the list for quite a bit, but listening quite a bit regardless.
	♥ 12:10pm Sean in Bristol UK: Love the photo, just under four weeks of Summer still to enjoy.
	12:11pm kat330: This Donic Mandala is wonderful. I can sort of hear how it could mashup with Stormy Weather. :)
	12:11pm kat330: [Oooops. Sonic not Donic]
	♥ 12:12pm Sean in Bristol UK: Hey Kat, it's been awhile, how are you, missed your regular comments, hello to Pierre and DCE.
	12:13pm Van in DC: Happy Monday Irene and folks
	♥ 12:13pm common: that beach looks nice!
	12:13pm kat330: Aw, thanks, Sean. I didn't miss yours because often I would read the playlist after the show, or whenever my hands got unbusy enough. :)
	♥ 12:17pm Irene Trudel: Hi everybody! Hope you're all enjoying summery thoughts.
	12:18pm kat330: Is that beach photo a "selfie," Irene?
	♥ 12:18pm Mike East: Its a tragedy that have not set a foot on the sand once yet this summer...still a little time, though...
	12:21pm kat330: We recently returned from the sandy beach of lakes and the lovely canopy of forests, but no ocean, unfortunately. I do like a wave action.
	♥ 12:22pm Mike East: hey, kat330, welcome back to commentland!
	12:24pm kat330: @Mike: Hi, Mike, and thanks! Probably not very regularly—I've gotten very busy of late. So how's little miss Lucie doing?
	♥ 12:24pm DCE: ...Christmas is just four months away...(GULP)
	12:25pm kat330: @DCE: Way to harsh my mellow! ;)
	♥ 12:26pm Mike East: she's GREAT! had about 3 weeks worth of pneumonia last month, but all is clear now.
	12:28pm kat330: Oh, wow ... thank god she's fine now! Is that sort of common in wee ones? [I'm clueless about such things]
	♥ 12:33pm Mike East: yeah, I guess it is...I'm pretty clueless, too :) It did lead to the discovery that she's allergic to ammoxacilin, though. common or not, it was scary as hell...she was running a fever for a week of it...needless to say, we didn't get much sleep.
	12:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Roasting harshmellows. It's what we do.™
	♥ 12:34pm Mike East: hahah! is that your dog? what a great pic!
	12:35pm kat330: @ME: I bet it was, and I bet you didn't ... well, just so very glad you're on the other side of it now. A big warm (HOT here in So IN) hug to her!
	12:35pm Van in DC: I sure hope I'm "Van in Dallas" again by Christmas. What a wonderful present that would be.
	12:36pm kat330: Hahaha, Rev, that's a SOLID (not semi) photo! ;)
	12:38pm kat330: @Van: DC gettin' you down? Climate, as in weather, or climate, as in political?
	12:41pm Van in DC: Hi Kat, I'm a southern boy, from Texas. I prefer the simpler lifestyle there. Not really happy in the DC area for a bazillion reasons.
	♥ 12:41pm common: Finally get to go to the beach this weeked! Yay!
	12:43pm kat330: @Van: Yes, I believe Dubya prefers it for the same reasons. :) Well, I hope you get your wish.
	♥ 12:45pm Sean in Bristol UK: On a non-musical post, I am addicted to "Breaking Bad", yet again my Colonial cousins are spanking bottom when it comes to drama series, thought I would mention this.
	12:46pm kat330: @Sean: Oh, yes, but please end the mentions there!! We buy the DVDs after the season and are up to date, but nothing in the current season. Shhhhhhh....
	12:49pm kat330: Speaking of tall conifers, yikes, the sequoias are threatened in Yosemite the last I heard. Thousands of years old and so spectacular.
	12:51pm Van in DC: This is really nice from the Baird Sisters, thank you Irene
	♥ 12:52pm Mike East: @Sean - there is drama in it, but I see it more as a dark comedy. Excellent series either way....I, like kat, must wait for the DVD's. I must say, you are right that the US has been producing some pretty excellent TV content the last few years.
	♥ 12:54pm Mike East: speaking of which, when is HBO gonna come out with an internet subscription format that doesn't require one to have cable?
	♥ 12:55pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Kat, no problem, will be tuning into Netflix later to watch episode 11, Season 5. I think a pilgrimage to Alburquerque may be on the cards when I fly over next April. Yes, Van, lovely tune from The Baird sisters
	12:56pm kat330: Definitely plenty of black comedy throughout. But the acting is what I'm into it for. I was a huge Bryan Cranston fan from the get-go of Malcolm in the Middle.
	1:00pm kat330: @ME: We are cable-less, too, and always have been. Whenever we stay at a hotel w/cable and endless choices, it only clinches it for us to remain that way, too! We do quite well w/ broadcast, bought DVDs (which we often resell at even money) and Roku (for some films, Stewart & Colbert primarily).
	♥ 1:00pm Sean in Bristol UK: Likewise, Malcolm in the Middle is so funny
	1:04pm kat330: @Sean: He is just so talented. You have to be able to delay reward / pleasure to view the way we do, and luckily we are both skilled in doing that. Spoilers are our only undoing. ;)
	1:06pm Van in DC: I love my DirecTV :)
	♥ 1:07pm Andrew Waterloo: Apparently the commercials used to hack the Kids in the Hall up really badly when it played in the US.
	♥ 1:07pm Andrew Waterloo: I just finished watching Doc Martin on Netflix.
	1:08pm kat330: We just finished the second season of "Enlightened" (which goes along with your inspiring music, Irene!) this weekend. It wouldn't be everyone's cuppa, but we really loved it. So nuanced.
	1:08pm Van in DC: I love that NBC is showing every single English Premiere League soccer game this year. I think Chelsea is playing Man U here in a couple hours...might have to sneak out of work...
	1:09pm don: Jim Kweskin Jug Band 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour this week w/ Geoff Muldaur, Maria Muldaur and Bill Keith. Any fans out there? Anyone going to a show?
	1:10pm slugluv1313: was i hearing things, or did you play a piece with gamelan? (did not have your playlist readily available!)
	1:12pm kat330: @don: I'm a BIG fan (have their original vinyl), but a thousand miles from NYC.
	♥ 1:14pm Mike East: I used to tape Kids in the Hall off TV, and cut out the commercials...I'm sure I still have an 8hour VHS tape somewhere. @kat - I've never had cable in my adult life either. We recently stayed in a hotel also, and I couldn't take the commercials, so ended up paying $16 to watch Iron Man 3. It was worth it. Fun for the whole family! (I'm a sucker for super hero movies, and my wife wants to be Tony Stark...my 8 year old was just excited to sit in the big king size bed with us)
	1:14pm don: @kat330--shows are in Albany, NY, MA and RI-going to Albany (from NYC) to see them...
	1:14pm Jay/London: hi irene been here from the start enjoying the show
	1:16pm kat330: Irene, aren't you able to switch to antenna so you can get CBS? We were so worried when the switchover happened several years ago, but (knock on wood) our reception is more reliable than our cabled neighbors.
	1:16pm Van in DC: For any shows that I normally watch, I ALWAYS DVR them and watch on delay, fast forwarding through the commercials.
	1:17pm kat330: Hi, Jay! @don: Ah, well then even more miles distant between me and that set of cities :)
	♥ 1:18pm Tome: Hi Irene HI Kiddles ! yep almost over ,, back to school,, but is a nice August still,, and loving the tunes,, that appears to be a long walk to the ocean there , in that photo indeed,,,
	♥ 1:18pm Mike East: I still get CBS with the antenna, but I can no longer switch to the antenna input because the baby spilled soup on our remote.
	1:18pm kat330: @Van: Yep, that's how we roll, too. I'll stack my "skip" skills against anyone. ;)
	1:19pm Eric: what language is this?
	♥ 1:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: Lovely, lovely tune from Uaragniaun, I am clueless to what language they are singing, Portugese?
	1:22pm kat330: It looks written out more Portuguese than it sounded to me. Maybe a dialect of Port.?
	1:23pm Eric: I see they are from Puglia in Italy, but it's not Italian or Portuguese, there are places in Publia where they speak a somewhat archaic form of Greek, it's not far from Greece
	1:24pm kat330: Mmm, I love this early music sound.
	1:25pm Van in DC: This here is fantastic
	1:26pm Jay/London: here we don't have ads on the bbc channels also i use roku box and netfilx so I do not see ads much at all
	♥ 1:28pm Irene Trudel: @Kat, we have a flat screen digital. I haven't had time to see if I can hook and antenna up. (I'm the fixit person in our household.)
	1:29pm kat330: Another great vinyl I own. :)
	1:30pm kat330: @Irene: Well, if you never got a converter box back Ahhhh! :) You sweetheart. :>
	♥ 1:32pm Irene Trudel: A lovely tune performed by our own commenter, Kat330! (Hope I'm not embarrassing you.)
	♥ 1:33pm Sean in Bristol UK: Wow, Kat, absolutely awesome, what a wonderful voice
	1:33pm kat330: A tad. It just took me so by surprise... Thank you, merci, kiitos and grazie, Ms. Irene.
	1:35pm kat330: @Sean: Thank you! It's one of my early and most raw recordings, so it IS a tad embarrassing. My arrangement of that 14th c. piece included a Korg on harpsichord mode and a Finnish harp (kantele) if anyone's interested.
	1:36pm Van in DC: Oh sure. I step out for two minutes to work and go get hot water for my tea and I miss a Kat tune!
	1:37pm kat330: @Van: Besides Soundcloud, it's also avail in .wav at my Bandcamp site.
	♥ 1:38pm Irene Trudel: Kat has a number of nice tunes up there. I'm just beginning to give a listen to 'em.
	♥ 1:38pm Sean in Bristol UK: Great, great set, Irene, the cherry on the icing being a tune from Kat.
	1:39pm kat330: We saw our trusty local bat winging wildly over and around our home the other evening while we were out to view the Space Station crossing overhead. Indiana bats are in trouble, so it's good to see one.
	♥ 1:40pm Mike East: dang, I totally missed Kat...
	1:40pm kat330: [she quickly changed the subject to the Hurley lyrics]
	1:41pm Van in DC: Speaking of spacey stuff, there will be a NASA launch visible (hopefully) from DC area, VA, and most of the East Coast I think, on Sept 6.
	1:43pm Van in DC: Okay, from "much of the northeast" then. dcist.com...
	♥ 1:43pm Mike East: @Irene - flat screen/digital TV will totally work with an antennae. If you live in the city, you shouldn't need anything TOO powerful, either, since you'd be close to the broadcast signal. Trees and mountains mess with my reception in Jersey.
	1:44pm kat330: @Van: That will be super. We vacated in Cocoa Beach last summer, but missed a launch by "just that much" -- "Get Smart" line, yes?
	1:45pm Van in DC: yep, missed it by that much :)
	1:49pm Eric: Uaragniaun: dialetto Barese, the dialect of Bari
	1:50pm kat330: Thanks, Eric!
	♥ 1:51pm Sean in Bristol UK: Filled the gap, likewise, thanks, Eric
	♥ 1:52pm Irene Trudel: @Mike East, I know I should just check out an antenna. I even have a set of "rabbit ears" somewhere. CBS does have a strong over-the air signal in NYC.
	♥ 1:54pm Mike East: Yeah, it comes in clearer than any other channel by me, too....I just gotta get my remote replaced. :)
	2:00pm kat330: I was even happier we had stuck to antenna when Time-Warner bought out the local cable monopoly of Insight recently.
	2:02pm Eric: you're welcome, I have an interest in Italian "dialects" after having spent a lot of time in Naples and also in Sardinia
	2:03pm Jeff: @Irene: just get an antenna suitable for the HDTV frequencies - the old rabbit ears for the "regular" channels won't be optimal, but if you have an old UHF bowtie antenna, that might work pretty well for HDTV. Or just pick a decent new HDTV antenna up for 20-30 bucks or so.
	2:06pm Jeff: Over-the-air HDTV just seems magical to someone like me used to analog OTA TV, with the usual bits of snow. Digital TV is like: nothing... adjust antenna... nothing... adjust... BAM! Big perfect picture.
	2:07pm Van in DC: Yay! Great set! (again) Cocteau Twins, me loves!
	2:07pm Cheri Pi: hive mind, Irene, I was just thining about them.
	♥ 2:07pm Sean in Bristol UK: The Memery cells are as good as they should be but didn't Julianna Barwick play on your show, Irene?
	♥ 2:09pm 12539: @Sean: yes, and it's in the free music archives.
	♥ 2:17pm Mike East: @Jeff - The picture is great, yes, but I think I'd prefer a continuous fuzzy picture to an intermittent clear one.
	2:18pm Jeff: @Mike: that is indeed the downside.
	♥ 2:19pm Tome: most stations now ( soon to be all I am guessing ) use UHF Frequency cept for in newYorkCity anyway 7 (abc) 11 (pix) and 13 (pbs) is where you need the long extensions of the rabbit ears,, I am ground level in brooklyn but I do have a northers window exposure and , and I get 32 channels ..with a cheap pair of rabbit ears , you have to have a clear "path" to the transmit towers, ie is key . > bit.ly...
	♥ 2:21pm Tome: ..might try this one next > bit.ly...
	2:21pm kat330: It's good CBS comes over antenna really well, because, AFAIK, CBS has no contract with Roku for rebroadcasting. Occasionally our DVR (or the programmer) has messed up getting Letterman or Ferguson, but unlike if that happens on NBC, we can't find it on Roku. CBS, the Tiffany Channel, clearly plays contract hardball.
	♥ 2:22pm Mike East: I ended up getting just the UHF receiver...which is a drag cuz half the reason I got it was to watch PBS, the other half was to watch Jeopardy (ABC). Shoulda done more advance research.
	2:24pm kat330: @Tome: Yep, I was so pleased to find those guides to signals when we first got our HDTV converter box. It helps immensely, esp. in a suburban area.
	2:25pm Liz B.: Jason Sigal is filling in for Scott today.
	2:26pm Jeff: Thanks for the clarification, @Tome. I didn't know any VHF frequencies were still in use for OTA HDTV. But I was mostly theorizing when spouting all that to Irene, because while I've played with HD-through-the-air, my cables remain uncut. Cool home-made antenna project. Totally puts me in mind of stuff Dad would've come out of the basement holding.
	2:26pm the glowing one: @Tome: haha, it says Cost: $10 Build: 2 hours Channels Found: 32 Good Shows: 0
	2:27pm braveness23: B23 here the rentrée from a nap.
	♥ 2:27pm Irene Trudel: @kat, yes, Julianna Barwick did play on my show two summers ago. wfmu.org... She played a few tunes last week for Soundcheck, the program I work on at WNYC. Since she's about to go out on tour I can't have her in now, but we did talk about having her back to do a set sometime in January.
	2:28pm kat330: This reminds of a cool performer on SC: soundcloud.com... All Chris Lane's work reminds me of soundtracks for "Lonesome Dove" or "No Country for Old Men." Nice stuff.
	2:28pm glenn: www.dummies.com...
	2:29pm kat330: Irene, it was Sean who asked, but thanks IAE as I had starred her track! :)
	♥ 2:30pm Tome: didnt' attempt that one buiild yet, my RCA for $4.99 probably gets more stationgs,, the low VHF (used to be channels 2-6) no channels anymore in NYC anyway area and yes 7(abc) 11(pix) and 13PBS) still use the HI-Vhf, but with a good UHF "element" might pick up 7,11,13. all the rest includeing 2, 4 , 5 (fox) . 9 and above 13 are UHF
	2:33pm glenn: we didn't get a t.v. until i was 8. with rabbit ears we could get c.b.c. and radio canada (french c.b.c).
	♥ 2:35pm Tome: ..long as my Alexanders 1975 Emerson redio doesn't die and still gets this station I'm happy :)
	2:36pm Van in DC: Wow. Call me crazy but the little of that last track, Seth Austen, I heard really reminded me of, I think Fripp's work with David Sylvian, Gone To Earth, I think.
	♥ 2:38pm Tome: forgive me for the long winded reception discussion Irene , enjoying the tunes so much as well as these last bits of summer, should have just "gotten to the point" and been brief but effective ..
	2:41pm kat330: @Tome: Your name suggests you can't be too brief. ;)
	2:44pm kat330: Ahh, this reminds me of our many failed attempts to make a trip to Hawaii (I've never been / Philo has, all the way from Finland). I'm thinking about next April already. Any advice or little recommendations anyone?
	♥ 2:49pm Sean in Bristol UK: Another terrific set, Irene,
	2:53pm Van in DC: Gotta run, thanks Irene for a great show!
	♥ 2:55pm common: thanks for the nico!
	2:55pm Eric: I'd like to hear a duet with Nico and Schwarzaneger
	♥ 2:56pm 12539: Thanks, Irene.
	2:56pm don: "These days" with a young Jackson Browne playing guitar.
	2:57pm Eric: just kidding of course
	2:57pm kat330: Thanks for the whole three hours, Irene! You've made my day and my week and sealed my resolve to get even busier in the coming days. :) Adieu, all!
	♥ 2:58pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for tuning in everybody! I may take next week off for Labor Day. A little undecided. But I'll catch you all soon!
	♥ 2:58pm Sean in Bristol UK: Irene, fab, fab show, great music and a real blast reading all the comments, have a great week folks.

	♥ 12:55pm Sean in Bristol UK: @Kat, no problem, will be tuning into Netflix later to watch episode 11, Season 5. I think a pilgrimage to Alburquerque may be on the cards when I fly over next April. Yes, Van, lovely tune from The Baird sisters
	12:56pm kat330: Definitely plenty of black comedy throughout. But the acting is what I'm into it for. I was a huge Bryan Cranston fan from the get-go of Malcolm in the Middle.
	1:00pm kat330: @ME: We are cable-less, too, and always have been. Whenever we stay at a hotel w/cable and endless choices, it only clinches it for us to remain that way, too! We do quite well w/ broadcast, bought DVDs (which we often resell at even money) and Roku (for some films, Stewart & Colbert primarily).
	♥ 1:00pm Sean in Bristol UK: Likewise, Malcolm in the Middle is so funny
	1:04pm kat330: @Sean: He is just so talented. You have to be able to delay reward / pleasure to view the way we do, and luckily we are both skilled in doing that. Spoilers are our only undoing. ;)
	1:06pm Van in DC: I love my DirecTV :)
	♥ 1:07pm Andrew Waterloo: Apparently the commercials used to hack the Kids in the Hall up really badly when it played in the US.
	♥ 1:07pm Andrew Waterloo: I just finished watching Doc Martin on Netflix.
	1:08pm kat330: We just finished the second season of "Enlightened" (which goes along with your inspiring music, Irene!) this weekend. It wouldn't be everyone's cuppa, but we really loved it. So nuanced.
	1:08pm Van in DC: I love that NBC is showing every single English Premiere League soccer game this year. I think Chelsea is playing Man U here in a couple hours...might have to sneak out of work...
	1:09pm don: Jim Kweskin Jug Band 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour this week w/ Geoff Muldaur, Maria Muldaur and Bill Keith. Any fans out there? Anyone going to a show?
	1:10pm slugluv1313: was i hearing things, or did you play a piece with gamelan? (did not have your playlist readily available!)
	1:12pm kat330: @don: I'm a BIG fan (have their original vinyl), but a thousand miles from NYC.
	♥ 1:14pm Mike East: I used to tape Kids in the Hall off TV, and cut out the commercials...I'm sure I still have an 8hour VHS tape somewhere. @kat - I've never had cable in my adult life either. We recently stayed in a hotel also, and I couldn't take the commercials, so ended up paying $16 to watch Iron Man 3. It was worth it. Fun for the whole family! (I'm a sucker for super hero movies, and my wife wants to be Tony Stark...my 8 year old was just excited to sit in the big king size bed with us)
	1:14pm don: @kat330--shows are in Albany, NY, MA and RI-going to Albany (from NYC) to see them...
	1:14pm Jay/London: hi irene been here from the start enjoying the show
	1:16pm kat330: Irene, aren't you able to switch to antenna so you can get CBS? We were so worried when the switchover happened several years ago, but (knock on wood) our reception is more reliable than our cabled neighbors.
	1:16pm Van in DC: For any shows that I normally watch, I ALWAYS DVR them and watch on delay, fast forwarding through the commercials.
	1:17pm kat330: Hi, Jay! @don: Ah, well then even more miles distant between me and that set of cities :)
	♥ 1:18pm Tome: Hi Irene HI Kiddles ! yep almost over ,, back to school,, but is a nice August still,, and loving the tunes,, that appears to be a long walk to the ocean there , in that photo indeed,,,
	♥ 1:18pm Mike East: I still get CBS with the antenna, but I can no longer switch to the antenna input because the baby spilled soup on our remote.
	1:18pm kat330: @Van: Yep, that's how we roll, too. I'll stack my "skip" skills against anyone. ;)
	1:19pm Eric: what language is this?
	♥ 1:21pm Sean in Bristol UK: Lovely, lovely tune from Uaragniaun, I am clueless to what language they are singing, Portugese?
	1:22pm kat330: It looks written out more Portuguese than it sounded to me. Maybe a dialect of Port.?
	1:23pm Eric: I see they are from Puglia in Italy, but it's not Italian or Portuguese, there are places in Publia where they speak a somewhat archaic form of Greek, it's not far from Greece
	1:24pm kat330: Mmm, I love this early music sound.
	1:25pm Van in DC: This here is fantastic
	1:26pm Jay/London: here we don't have ads on the bbc channels also i use roku box and netfilx so I do not see ads much at all
	♥ 1:28pm Irene Trudel: @Kat, we have a flat screen digital. I haven't had time to see if I can hook and antenna up. (I'm the fixit person in our household.)
	1:29pm kat330: Another great vinyl I own. :)
	1:30pm kat330: @Irene: Well, if you never got a converter box back Ahhhh! :) You sweetheart. :>
	♥ 1:32pm Irene Trudel: A lovely tune performed by our own commenter, Kat330! (Hope I'm not embarrassing you.)
	♥ 1:33pm Sean in Bristol UK: Wow, Kat, absolutely awesome, what a wonderful voice
	1:33pm kat330: A tad. It just took me so by surprise... Thank you, merci, kiitos and grazie, Ms. Irene.
	1:35pm kat330: @Sean: Thank you! It's one of my early and most raw recordings, so it IS a tad embarrassing. My arrangement of that 14th c. piece included a Korg on harpsichord mode and a Finnish harp (kantele) if anyone's interested.
	1:36pm Van in DC: Oh sure. I step out for two minutes to work and go get hot water for my tea and I miss a Kat tune!
	1:37pm kat330: @Van: Besides Soundcloud, it's also avail in .wav at my Bandcamp site.
	♥ 1:38pm Irene Trudel: Kat has a number of nice tunes up there. I'm just beginning to give a listen to 'em.
	♥ 1:38pm Sean in Bristol UK: Great, great set, Irene, the cherry on the icing being a tune from Kat.
	1:39pm kat330: We saw our trusty local bat winging wildly over and around our home the other evening while we were out to view the Space Station crossing overhead. Indiana bats are in trouble, so it's good to see one.
	♥ 1:40pm Mike East: dang, I totally missed Kat...
	1:40pm kat330: [she quickly changed the subject to the Hurley lyrics]
	1:41pm Van in DC: Speaking of spacey stuff, there will be a NASA launch visible (hopefully) from DC area, VA, and most of the East Coast I think, on Sept 6.
	1:43pm Van in DC: Okay, from "much of the northeast" then. dcist.com...
	♥ 1:43pm Mike East: @Irene - flat screen/digital TV will totally work with an antennae. If you live in the city, you shouldn't need anything TOO powerful, either, since you'd be close to the broadcast signal. Trees and mountains mess with my reception in Jersey.
	1:44pm kat330: @Van: That will be super. We vacated in Cocoa Beach last summer, but missed a launch by "just that much" -- "Get Smart" line, yes?
	1:45pm Van in DC: yep, missed it by that much :)
	1:49pm Eric: Uaragniaun: dialetto Barese, the dialect of Bari
	1:50pm kat330: Thanks, Eric!
	♥ 1:51pm Sean in Bristol UK: Filled the gap, likewise, thanks, Eric
	♥ 1:52pm Irene Trudel: @Mike East, I know I should just check out an antenna. I even have a set of "rabbit ears" somewhere. CBS does have a strong over-the air signal in NYC.
	♥ 1:54pm Mike East: Yeah, it comes in clearer than any other channel by me, too....I just gotta get my remote replaced. :)
	2:00pm kat330: I was even happier we had stuck to antenna when Time-Warner bought out the local cable monopoly of Insight recently.
	2:02pm Eric: you're welcome, I have an interest in Italian "dialects" after having spent a lot of time in Naples and also in Sardinia
	2:03pm Jeff: @Irene: just get an antenna suitable for the HDTV frequencies - the old rabbit ears for the "regular" channels won't be optimal, but if you have an old UHF bowtie antenna, that might work pretty well for HDTV. Or just pick a decent new HDTV antenna up for 20-30 bucks or so.
	2:06pm Jeff: Over-the-air HDTV just seems magical to someone like me used to analog OTA TV, with the usual bits of snow. Digital TV is like: nothing... adjust antenna... nothing... adjust... BAM! Big perfect picture.
	2:07pm Van in DC: Yay! Great set! (again) Cocteau Twins, me loves!
	2:07pm Cheri Pi: hive mind, Irene, I was just thining about them.
	♥ 2:07pm Sean in Bristol UK: The Memery cells are as good as they should be but didn't Julianna Barwick play on your show, Irene?
	♥ 2:09pm 12539: @Sean: yes, and it's in the free music archives.
	♥ 2:17pm Mike East: @Jeff - The picture is great, yes, but I think I'd prefer a continuous fuzzy picture to an intermittent clear one.
	2:18pm Jeff: @Mike: that is indeed the downside.
	♥ 2:19pm Tome: most stations now ( soon to be all I am guessing ) use UHF Frequency cept for in newYorkCity anyway 7 (abc) 11 (pix) and 13 (pbs) is where you need the long extensions of the rabbit ears,, I am ground level in brooklyn but I do have a northers window exposure and , and I get 32 channels ..with a cheap pair of rabbit ears , you have to have a clear "path" to the transmit towers, ie is key . > bit.ly...
	♥ 2:21pm Tome: ..might try this one next > bit.ly...
	2:21pm kat330: It's good CBS comes over antenna really well, because, AFAIK, CBS has no contract with Roku for rebroadcasting. Occasionally our DVR (or the programmer) has messed up getting Letterman or Ferguson, but unlike if that happens on NBC, we can't find it on Roku. CBS, the Tiffany Channel, clearly plays contract hardball.
	♥ 2:22pm Mike East: I ended up getting just the UHF receiver...which is a drag cuz half the reason I got it was to watch PBS, the other half was to watch Jeopardy (ABC). Shoulda done more advance research.
	2:24pm kat330: @Tome: Yep, I was so pleased to find those guides to signals when we first got our HDTV converter box. It helps immensely, esp. in a suburban area.
	2:25pm Liz B.: Jason Sigal is filling in for Scott today.
	2:26pm Jeff: Thanks for the clarification, @Tome. I didn't know any VHF frequencies were still in use for OTA HDTV. But I was mostly theorizing when spouting all that to Irene, because while I've played with HD-through-the-air, my cables remain uncut. Cool home-made antenna project. Totally puts me in mind of stuff Dad would've come out of the basement holding.
	2:26pm the glowing one: @Tome: haha, it says Cost: $10 Build: 2 hours Channels Found: 32 Good Shows: 0
	2:27pm braveness23: B23 here the rentrée from a nap.
	♥ 2:27pm Irene Trudel: @kat, yes, Julianna Barwick did play on my show two summers ago. wfmu.org... She played a few tunes last week for Soundcheck, the program I work on at WNYC. Since she's about to go out on tour I can't have her in now, but we did talk about having her back to do a set sometime in January.
	2:28pm kat330: This reminds of a cool performer on SC: soundcloud.com... All Chris Lane's work reminds me of soundtracks for "Lonesome Dove" or "No Country for Old Men." Nice stuff.
	2:28pm glenn: www.dummies.com...
	2:29pm kat330: Irene, it was Sean who asked, but thanks IAE as I had starred her track! :)
	♥ 2:30pm Tome: didnt' attempt that one buiild yet, my RCA for $4.99 probably gets more stationgs,, the low VHF (used to be channels 2-6) no channels anymore in NYC anyway area and yes 7(abc) 11(pix) and 13PBS) still use the HI-Vhf, but with a good UHF "element" might pick up 7,11,13. all the rest includeing 2, 4 , 5 (fox) . 9 and above 13 are UHF
	2:33pm glenn: we didn't get a t.v. until i was 8. with rabbit ears we could get c.b.c. and radio canada (french c.b.c).
	♥ 2:35pm Tome: ..long as my Alexanders 1975 Emerson redio doesn't die and still gets this station I'm happy :)
	2:36pm Van in DC: Wow. Call me crazy but the little of that last track, Seth Austen, I heard really reminded me of, I think Fripp's work with David Sylvian, Gone To Earth, I think.
	♥ 2:38pm Tome: forgive me for the long winded reception discussion Irene , enjoying the tunes so much as well as these last bits of summer, should have just "gotten to the point" and been brief but effective ..
	2:41pm kat330: @Tome: Your name suggests you can't be too brief. ;)
	2:44pm kat330: Ahh, this reminds me of our many failed attempts to make a trip to Hawaii (I've never been / Philo has, all the way from Finland). I'm thinking about next April already. Any advice or little recommendations anyone?
	♥ 2:49pm Sean in Bristol UK: Another terrific set, Irene,
	2:53pm Van in DC: Gotta run, thanks Irene for a great show!
	♥ 2:55pm common: thanks for the nico!
	2:55pm Eric: I'd like to hear a duet with Nico and Schwarzaneger
	♥ 2:56pm 12539: Thanks, Irene.
	2:56pm don: "These days" with a young Jackson Browne playing guitar.
	2:57pm Eric: just kidding of course
	2:57pm kat330: Thanks for the whole three hours, Irene! You've made my day and my week and sealed my resolve to get even busier in the coming days. :) Adieu, all!
	♥ 2:58pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for tuning in everybody! I may take next week off for Labor Day. A little undecided. But I'll catch you all soon!
	♥ 2:58pm Sean in Bristol UK: Irene, fab, fab show, great music and a real blast reading all the comments, have a great week folks.
