	6:28am Meghan: HA! At least you could find it this time!
	6:28am Chuck: Wonder what kind of bitchin' cool harvest festivals they have in Africa?
	6:29am Meghan: hahaha! You said bitchin'! NICE!
	6:29am Chuck: Certainly, this would be the type of music played for them!
	6:31am Andy in Berlin: Good morning everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! Love those posters Meghan. I used to fly Sabena - Berlin to Brussels in a prop plane!
	6:31am Chuck: Yes, "bitchin'" doesn't get used much anymore, does it...
	6:33am Meghan: oh nice Andy! I love these old African posters. Air France has some great 60's travel posters.....
	6:33am Andrew: was just reading this article about radio in Tanzania & they talked to a cucumber farmer. Cucumber Festivals maybe? http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/27/in-tanzania-farmers-reap-the-benefits-of-radio/?hp&rref=opinion&_r=0
	6:34am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Hey everyone!
	6:35am Andrew: hi andy & elwyn ^_^ good music again, meghan ^_^ Alice is good happy fun music
	6:37am Meghan: Elwyn!!!!! Slide that man a tropical fruit cup!
	6:39am Chuck: Something needs to be tropical! Freakin' cold out again. And, as they say in Chicago "The 'hawk' is out!"...
	6:40am davex: Good morning! Is this Sao Tome now?
	6:43am Chuck: Fondue sets for Nabibia!!!
	6:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the journey continues...
	6:48am Guido (Cologne): My Africa-Test results this morning were emarrasingly bad! I will take lessons in geography.
	6:48am davex: Yes, and a fantastic journey at that...
	6:49am Meghan: Awwwww Guido! We are all learning together! I have to look at a map each week, so I got a little better, but that is about it.
	6:51am Chuck: There should be some kind of curve for the test when the countries change...
	6:52am Dave B: Greetings from Annapolis
	6:52am Andrew: hmm, just realised i am eating african related food while i listen to the show ^_^ from south africa though yeh, first time i'd seen south sudan on a map
	6:52am Guido (Cologne): The right poster on the top is marvelous! Is there a higher resulution avauiable?
	6:52am Chuck: Did you join the Navy, DB?
	6:52am Meghan: Speaking of maps.... this one makes me giggle.... www.buzzfeed.com...
	6:53am Dave B: Almost did 30 years ago. Nah my sister relocated here
	6:54am Meghan: Morning Dave! There is a song in this set Dave is gonna love! Guido, I just google Africa posters Air France and I found that....
	6:59am Dave B: The anticipation is building. Happy Chewbacca / Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate
	6:59am Guido (Cologne): Thanks for the tip, Meghan! As for the US-map, I might immeadiately find Texas, Florida, California, Alaska, Washington ... but ask me for NY, NJ, which one is Illinois, which is MS ...
	7:02am Meghan: I love that almost no one has a hard time finding California or Texas!
	7:04am Chuck: The bigger uniquely shaped stated are easier to find...
	7:05am Dave B: The home page of the African map thing had some other good ones. Nailed the manhattan neighborhood map right quick. This track opened like a lost track from "fear of music/remain in light" I like it!
	7:05am Chuck: Oops... states....
	7:05am Guido (Cologne): Recognizable silhouettes. That's it!
	7:06am Dave B: Shit, even Zira nailed the square peg/square hole test in "Escape"
	7:07am Chuck: That's why folks have a harder time with the rectangular shaped states. They all look kind of the same...
	7:08am Guido (Cologne): I remember, it was a fun game asking Amercans to show Berlin during the cold war times. Is it GDR or FRG? Where the hell is the iron curtain?
	7:10am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Meghan and all. Seriously considering changing my name to Semba Ritmado. Loving these sounds.
	7:10am Dave B: So I missed the past few breaks. Do we continue to share our Thursday mornings for another year?
	7:11am davex: @Guido: That divide is still in the minds of many people in Germany, I'm afraid.
	7:11am Meghan: Still in the same slot Dave! Good Morning Sem!
	7:13am Dave B: Now if THIS is the one you were thinking, you are CORRECT!
	7:13am Guido (Cologne): @davex : It is for sure!
	7:14am Meghan: I knew it!
	7:14am doca: Buraka! I was hoping you played them, for some reason I love kuduro. Hi Meghan and all, checking in late today
	7:15am davex: @Guido: On another note, I enjoyed having a listen to your band - good stuff!
	7:15am Andrew: this reminds me of bubble bobble ^_^
	7:15am David L.B. is RRN63: ...haha! - 'Middleshire' - how very British ...I wonder how many Californians could find NewHampshire ...I wonder how many states I'd miss - let alone African nations...
	7:16am Guido (Cologne): @davex : Pleasure is on my side. Buraka Som Sistema is cool!
	7:18am Chuck: And just as fucking WRONG as other religions, Meghan...
	7:18am Dave B: Or a coke bottle from a plane - the gods must be crazy
	7:18am Guido (Cologne): Christian Creation strory also drives (partly) from (north) African mythology!
	7:20am Guido (Cologne): Certain misunderstanding from monotheist view: Religion is not about truth!
	7:20am doca: @Guido: Hi, Guido, I'm trying to keep up a one translated lyric per day pace on the blog, it has been fun to do it. Today I'll upload a Raul Seixas translation.
	7:22am Guido (Cologne): @doca : I have to check this! I was about to send you my wish-list. But that would become all too long!
	7:24am David L.B. is RRN63: - the Brits may have a point in their labelling - this guy says the U.S. is basically 11 distinct regions or nations in themselves : www.washingtonpost.com...
	7:24am doca: Hahah send it because after I've translated the Brazil 70 comp I don't know what else I'll translate.
	7:25am Marmalade Kitty: Free Nigeria!
	7:26am Dave B: Hah FMU is in New Netherland
	7:27am Guido (Cologne): Gilberto Gil 2nd & third album. Mutantes frist three albums. caetano Veloso first two albums. ... enaugh? ;-) ... oh good ... my typos! mythology "derives" not "drives"
	7:27am davex: Suffolk is in Yankeedom, though. Interesting choices.
	7:28am David L.B. is RRN63: I subscribe to the Carl Jung / Joseph Campbell Comparative Religion/Mythology point of view. Everyone wants to think their Religion is the One True & historically Factual religion - but the more you look @ them, you see the similarities - & influences they had on each other. Campbell says we are, basically, the Storytelling Monkey - it's what we do - but @ this time of great Change, it will be awhile before we can get a Story together that makes sense for us...
	7:30am davex: Meghan, lest I forget to mention again, great series - looking forward to revisiting it on the archives!
	7:30am Meghan: awwww, thanks davex!
	7:30am Guido (Cologne): @RRn63 I've read J.J.Frazer's Golden Brough, if it tells you something. Maybe a bit dated and much too long. But much more fun to see the Wicker Man movie (which i did quite recently).
	7:31am Andrew: there is definitely different areas of the US, like spanish/mexican, dutch, german, french, english. here it's just all english O_O apart from you know, the natives that were in both before...
	7:32am Guido (Cologne): Let's call it "Meghan's African Theme Park"! ;-) as for my taste, the series could go on and on and on.
	7:33am Marmalade Kitty: & convicts..
	7:37am Dave B: They're in Australia MK
	7:38am Rob W: Good morning dear listeners, good holiday (if it applies) and thanks Meghan for more African musical travels! I know we've moved on now... but hearing Bonga's classic reminded me that Meghan's old Bay State stomping grounds is a hot-spot for Lusophone African music thanks to the large Portuguese-speaking community. A few years back my better half Katie and I saw Bonga, an icon in Angola, perform at Restaurant Cesaria - an excellent Cape Verdean eatery in Dorchester MA. That's our US travel tip for the day...
	7:39am Dave B: I kinda wish archives were downloadable, but that's what audio hijack is for
	7:40am Andrew: well, the convicts were mostly english another great show meghan ^_^
	7:41am Andrew: hyah, i was just thinking that Dave B, how it would be good to listen to these on my mp3 player, the whole show ^_^
	7:42am Meghan: Did you see my car that was stolen and found in Dorchester Rob? ha! If you go back up to MA, go to Lowell, there is a huge Cambodian community there.
	7:43am Rob W: Dave B or Andrew (or anyone else), email me - robw AT wfmu DOT org or via wfmu.org... - if you wish, and I can give you some useful info regarding your musings about the archives.
	7:45am doca: @Guido: Gil and Caetano's albums you're saying those from the sixties when they were at their most tropicália moment?
	7:47am Chuck: HUH? 60s garage from Africa? Really, Meghan?
	7:48am Meghan: Really Chuck..... this band was HUGE in Zambia. There is a box set out there of their stuff, check it out.
	7:49am Andrew: love this one! african garage rock!
	7:50am Chuck: I was just thinking it was something I should direct Primitive George to as well....
	7:51am Andrew: interesting article about Witch http://www.allmusic.com/album/introduction-mw0002041663
	7:52am David L.B. is RRN63: - yeah! - maybe even like Hasil Adkins' chicken song...
	7:52am Guido (Cologne): @doca: definetely those! they're so fantastic! "Who the hell is Sgt. Pepper", i use to say. Just went through the Veloso-Trilogy yesterday evening. Glberto Gil's secont album is one of those 5-star++ ... best albums ever to be published in the world.
	7:53am doca: @Guido: haha "White Album? You mean the one from Caetano Veloso?"
	7:53am Rob W: Ooh - sorry about the car Meghan! Believe it or not I've never made it to Lowell, though it is indeed Cambodian mecca for the east coast. However - we have been to Revere, MA (closer to Boston) where there is a strip of Cambodian restaurants and shops on Shirley Ave. We've enjoyed eating at Floating Rock restaurant there.
	7:54am doca: The blog has been a way of getting to know better especially Gil and Caetano and the tropicália moment. I always listened to it from my parents, so it has always been something quite domestic and related to some artists which aren't usually considered the big geniuses, like Alceu Valença for instance. It has been cool to regain a taste for Brazilian music
	7:55am Guido (Cologne): "white Album" by Veloso, yes ... Yeah, African garage rock. Great track. Have to like this. which one was it?
	7:55am Marmalade Kitty: Zambian cheeze! :)
	7:57am Guido (Cologne): Of course you have the better insight, doca. My dear Brazilian friend startet to listen to Tropicalia just because of me! (she's more into motors and gardening, not music.)
	7:58am doca: @Guido: yes, she must get same feeling I have of being foreigner to your own tradition.
	7:58am doca: @Guido: but motors?
	7:59am Guido (Cologne): She comes out of a mechanics family. Her brothers and cousins do car-racing.
	8:01am doca: Really? What's her name or family name? I'm very into car racing, though I used to keep track of the Brazilian championships more earlier.
	8:02am doca: I guess it's my most incoherent personality trait, because I don't drive, I don't like cars, nothing in my personal tastes indicates that I would like racing, and still I do. Blame it on a F1 and IndyCar dad
	8:02am Guido (Cologne): @Meghan: Wich one was the "garage"-track. have to "Like" it!
	8:04am davex: Interesting track (Burundi Black)!
	8:04am Meghan: Which one was WITCH! ha!
	8:05am Chuck: You could have turned that into an Abbott and Costello routine, Meghan... hehe...
	8:06am Chuck: Is "We Intend to Cause Havoc!" the comp title?
	8:06am Andrew: love this burundi black song good thing you didn't forget burundi this time ^_^
	8:07am Meghan: That is the one Chuck!
	8:07am Marmalade Kitty: Something about Burundi Black makes me think o Madness..The piano?
	8:08am Guido (Cologne): @doca family name is Ramon. Out of Curitiba-area. Her cousin#s name is Wison Ramon. It's a special kind of racing. Modified cars slipping over wet ground. Don't know what it is called.
	8:09am davex: Interesting wiki on Burundi Black: en.wikipedia.org...
	8:11am Brian in UK: Hello Meghan. Great work on the African theme. Give the Drummers some. Go see them if you ever get the chance.
	8:11am David L.B. is RRN63: - of course - that Burundi sort of double or multiple (?) drum sound was influential on Malcolm McLaren-related artists like BowWowWow & AdamAnt...
	8:11am Guido (Cologne): Thank you Meghan! Great pun fitting my typos.
	8:13am Brian in UK: Stay away from Burundi Steiphenson Black. Real World released a solid album.
	8:13am Andrew: so many good/great F1 drivers from Brazil O_O
	8:15am doca: @Guido: don't know it either, but sounds kinda crazy/wild thing.
	8:16am Dave B: I've been conscripted to help my sister out. Headphones on. Happy thanksgiving everyone
	8:16am doca: @Andrew: yes, it makes me proud in a certain way, and in Indy too, but as other aspects of Brazilian sports, motor racing is also going backwards or almost killed. Anyway, I always end up talking mostly about bad things in Brazil, so I guess I'll shut up about it here eheh
	8:18am David L.B. is RRN63: - driving on wet ground - it'd be good skills for driving in a New England Winter !...
	8:18am Guido (Cologne): @doca it is crazy/wild/dangerous. Her cousin was in hospital several times with serious injuries. Her brother so to say lives in an mechanics workshop. One fridge, one bed, one TV, the rest is car-parts and stuff. Crazy family. Her father was innovator in car-heating.
	8:19am doca: It's Speed Racer's family...
	8:20am Andrew: cya next time Dave B, have a good one ^_^
	8:21am Guido (Cologne): ... really! they are! Completely in love with motors!
	8:26am doca: Guido, do you know Itamar Assumpção, Luiz Tatit, Arrigo Barnabé and others, those guys in the so-called "Paulistan vanguard" in the 80's? It's a bunch of guys experimenting in the same way as in tropicália. I was thinking about translating something of it just to call attention to it
	8:29am hamburger: heyo - tuning in late.. guessing the surprise being.. an AFRICAN RUSH COVER BAND!?
	8:30am Dave B: That African metal band?
	8:31am Meghan: ha! Hamburger, if I had found an African RUSH cover band, that would totally have been played! hahaha Dave, I totally forgot about the metal band. I think they were from Angola
	8:32am davex: Interesting traditional track - sounds like a Middle Eastern influence.
	8:32am Guido (Cologne): @doca: maybe it's an idea even to write about the artists and give tips what exactly is worth listening. Not fimilar with any of the names. For sure they deserve attention. Who would expect, Brazil dried out after forst wave of Tropicalists? I have a few insights from DJ-mix-tapes, but these mix-tapes were made for the dancefloor.
	8:35am davex: Surprise? Is it schedule-related?
	8:35am Meghan: nope.....
	8:36am Brian in UK: The Thompson Twins?
	8:36am KP: Did you say you were looking for the Kate Bush of Africa?
	8:36am Dave B: http://noisecreep.com/african-heavy-metal-bands/
	8:39am David L.B. is RRN63: - yeah davex - I woulda guessed Turkish for that one! ...African Metal? Oh man! - That sounds great!
	8:42am doca: @Dave: great articles you posted there. @Guido: Good idea to write about it. Brazil has not dried in the 80's, but unfortunately I'm not much into what's going on right now. But those guys are worth checking out, especially Itamar Assumpção.
	8:42am Marmalade Kitty: Greek-Turkish..
	8:43am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Evil Brady: Skinflint = best band name ever
	8:43am KP: Oh, and good morning again and this time Happy Thanksgiving. I liked your brine pic.
	8:47am Guido (Cologne): @doca : Go where your inspiration drives you! It#s the most effective and most fun! the classic can wait! ;-) @Dave 7 African Metal Bands to Check Out just shared on FB. "We Intend To Cause Havoc! " went to the shopping cart for Christmas. This looks much too epic, this band history. www.amazon.com...
	8:48am doca: @Meghan: you have to do a special show on African metal!
	8:49am Brian in UK: The TT's www.youtube.com...
	8:49am KP: Was it the Rush of Africa?
	8:50am Meghan: Here's some fun viewing....djrioblog.com...
	8:51am KP: Wild turkeys, once eliminated in Massachusetts, are flourishing from Plymouth to Concord and - to the surprise of some wildlife officials - making forays into densely populated suburban and urban areas, including parts of Boston, Cambridge and, most recently, Brookline.
	8:51am doca: A friend of mine in Minas Gerais always complained that the metal band he played (they opened for Bling Guardian in Belo Horizonte) lacked "local colour". Their release used to say the band was created in a freezing night in Governador Valadares (their hometown), but in Valadares is always warm as an oven.
	8:52am Andrew: looking at your blog doca, it's some good work. Will look properly after the show ^_^ Siti binti Saad was a nice song, seems old, 1930? but her voice didn't sound 'old' style
	8:52am doca: thanks, Andrew
	8:55am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Why does this song make me think of an African version of Queen?
	8:55am Dave B: Freddie's dead!
	8:56am Meghan: ummmm, because it IS QUEEN?
	8:56am doca: @Dave: I've laughed loud here
	8:57am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Oh... I didn't actually read the playlist when I typed that.
	8:57am Chuck: Hence the surprise factor...
	8:58am Brian in UK: Oh thank the Lawd for hair dye. Great show Meghan.
	8:58am KP: wow. Have a nice Thanksgiving! It will be our first in NYC. beautiful day for it.
	8:59am doca: Happy thanksgivig to you all!
	8:59am davex: Thanks Meghan - happy holidays everyone in holidayland...
	8:59am Chuck: Time to get food prep going! Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!
	8:59am David L.B. is RRN63: - yes - Freddie Mercury's family had to flee Zanzibar in a political coup - so 'Bohemian Rhapsody' maybe not so 'meaningless'...
	9:00am Charles O: Bill! On the road with the fam listening as promised!
	9:19am Andrew: thanks for another great show Meghan ^_^ (dang browser crashed)

	6:28am Chuck: Wonder what kind of bitchin' cool harvest festivals they have in Africa?
	6:29am Meghan: hahaha! You said bitchin'! NICE!
	6:29am Chuck: Certainly, this would be the type of music played for them!
	6:31am Andy in Berlin: Good morning everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! Love those posters Meghan. I used to fly Sabena - Berlin to Brussels in a prop plane!
	6:31am Chuck: Yes, "bitchin'" doesn't get used much anymore, does it...
	6:33am Meghan: oh nice Andy! I love these old African posters. Air France has some great 60's travel posters.....
	6:33am Andrew: was just reading this article about radio in Tanzania & they talked to a cucumber farmer. Cucumber Festivals maybe? http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/27/in-tanzania-farmers-reap-the-benefits-of-radio/?hp&rref=opinion&_r=0
	6:34am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Hey everyone!
	6:35am Andrew: hi andy & elwyn ^_^ good music again, meghan ^_^ Alice is good happy fun music
	6:37am Meghan: Elwyn!!!!! Slide that man a tropical fruit cup!
	6:39am Chuck: Something needs to be tropical! Freakin' cold out again. And, as they say in Chicago "The 'hawk' is out!"...
	6:40am davex: Good morning! Is this Sao Tome now?
	6:43am Chuck: Fondue sets for Nabibia!!!
	6:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the journey continues...
	6:48am Guido (Cologne): My Africa-Test results this morning were emarrasingly bad! I will take lessons in geography.
	6:48am davex: Yes, and a fantastic journey at that...
	6:49am Meghan: Awwwww Guido! We are all learning together! I have to look at a map each week, so I got a little better, but that is about it.
	6:51am Chuck: There should be some kind of curve for the test when the countries change...
	6:52am Dave B: Greetings from Annapolis
	6:52am Andrew: hmm, just realised i am eating african related food while i listen to the show ^_^ from south africa though yeh, first time i'd seen south sudan on a map
	6:52am Guido (Cologne): The right poster on the top is marvelous! Is there a higher resulution avauiable?
	6:52am Chuck: Did you join the Navy, DB?
	6:52am Meghan: Speaking of maps.... this one makes me giggle.... www.buzzfeed.com...
	6:53am Dave B: Almost did 30 years ago. Nah my sister relocated here
	6:54am Meghan: Morning Dave! There is a song in this set Dave is gonna love! Guido, I just google Africa posters Air France and I found that....
	6:59am Dave B: The anticipation is building. Happy Chewbacca / Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate
	6:59am Guido (Cologne): Thanks for the tip, Meghan! As for the US-map, I might immeadiately find Texas, Florida, California, Alaska, Washington ... but ask me for NY, NJ, which one is Illinois, which is MS ...
	7:02am Meghan: I love that almost no one has a hard time finding California or Texas!
	7:04am Chuck: The bigger uniquely shaped stated are easier to find...
	7:05am Dave B: The home page of the African map thing had some other good ones. Nailed the manhattan neighborhood map right quick. This track opened like a lost track from "fear of music/remain in light" I like it!
	7:05am Chuck: Oops... states....
	7:05am Guido (Cologne): Recognizable silhouettes. That's it!
	7:06am Dave B: Shit, even Zira nailed the square peg/square hole test in "Escape"
	7:07am Chuck: That's why folks have a harder time with the rectangular shaped states. They all look kind of the same...
	7:08am Guido (Cologne): I remember, it was a fun game asking Amercans to show Berlin during the cold war times. Is it GDR or FRG? Where the hell is the iron curtain?
	7:10am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Meghan and all. Seriously considering changing my name to Semba Ritmado. Loving these sounds.
	7:10am Dave B: So I missed the past few breaks. Do we continue to share our Thursday mornings for another year?
	7:11am davex: @Guido: That divide is still in the minds of many people in Germany, I'm afraid.
	7:11am Meghan: Still in the same slot Dave! Good Morning Sem!
	7:13am Dave B: Now if THIS is the one you were thinking, you are CORRECT!
	7:13am Guido (Cologne): @davex : It is for sure!
	7:14am Meghan: I knew it!
	7:14am doca: Buraka! I was hoping you played them, for some reason I love kuduro. Hi Meghan and all, checking in late today
	7:15am davex: @Guido: On another note, I enjoyed having a listen to your band - good stuff!
	7:15am Andrew: this reminds me of bubble bobble ^_^
	7:15am David L.B. is RRN63: ...haha! - 'Middleshire' - how very British ...I wonder how many Californians could find NewHampshire ...I wonder how many states I'd miss - let alone African nations...
	7:16am Guido (Cologne): @davex : Pleasure is on my side. Buraka Som Sistema is cool!
	7:18am Chuck: And just as fucking WRONG as other religions, Meghan...
	7:18am Dave B: Or a coke bottle from a plane - the gods must be crazy
	7:18am Guido (Cologne): Christian Creation strory also drives (partly) from (north) African mythology!
	7:20am Guido (Cologne): Certain misunderstanding from monotheist view: Religion is not about truth!
	7:20am doca: @Guido: Hi, Guido, I'm trying to keep up a one translated lyric per day pace on the blog, it has been fun to do it. Today I'll upload a Raul Seixas translation.
	7:22am Guido (Cologne): @doca : I have to check this! I was about to send you my wish-list. But that would become all too long!
	7:24am David L.B. is RRN63: - the Brits may have a point in their labelling - this guy says the U.S. is basically 11 distinct regions or nations in themselves : www.washingtonpost.com...
	7:24am doca: Hahah send it because after I've translated the Brazil 70 comp I don't know what else I'll translate.
	7:25am Marmalade Kitty: Free Nigeria!
	7:26am Dave B: Hah FMU is in New Netherland
	7:27am Guido (Cologne): Gilberto Gil 2nd & third album. Mutantes frist three albums. caetano Veloso first two albums. ... enaugh? ;-) ... oh good ... my typos! mythology "derives" not "drives"
	7:27am davex: Suffolk is in Yankeedom, though. Interesting choices.
	7:28am David L.B. is RRN63: I subscribe to the Carl Jung / Joseph Campbell Comparative Religion/Mythology point of view. Everyone wants to think their Religion is the One True & historically Factual religion - but the more you look @ them, you see the similarities - & influences they had on each other. Campbell says we are, basically, the Storytelling Monkey - it's what we do - but @ this time of great Change, it will be awhile before we can get a Story together that makes sense for us...
	7:30am davex: Meghan, lest I forget to mention again, great series - looking forward to revisiting it on the archives!
	7:30am Meghan: awwww, thanks davex!
	7:30am Guido (Cologne): @RRn63 I've read J.J.Frazer's Golden Brough, if it tells you something. Maybe a bit dated and much too long. But much more fun to see the Wicker Man movie (which i did quite recently).
	7:31am Andrew: there is definitely different areas of the US, like spanish/mexican, dutch, german, french, english. here it's just all english O_O apart from you know, the natives that were in both before...
	7:32am Guido (Cologne): Let's call it "Meghan's African Theme Park"! ;-) as for my taste, the series could go on and on and on.
	7:33am Marmalade Kitty: & convicts..
	7:37am Dave B: They're in Australia MK
	7:38am Rob W: Good morning dear listeners, good holiday (if it applies) and thanks Meghan for more African musical travels! I know we've moved on now... but hearing Bonga's classic reminded me that Meghan's old Bay State stomping grounds is a hot-spot for Lusophone African music thanks to the large Portuguese-speaking community. A few years back my better half Katie and I saw Bonga, an icon in Angola, perform at Restaurant Cesaria - an excellent Cape Verdean eatery in Dorchester MA. That's our US travel tip for the day...
	7:39am Dave B: I kinda wish archives were downloadable, but that's what audio hijack is for
	7:40am Andrew: well, the convicts were mostly english another great show meghan ^_^
	7:41am Andrew: hyah, i was just thinking that Dave B, how it would be good to listen to these on my mp3 player, the whole show ^_^
	7:42am Meghan: Did you see my car that was stolen and found in Dorchester Rob? ha! If you go back up to MA, go to Lowell, there is a huge Cambodian community there.
	7:43am Rob W: Dave B or Andrew (or anyone else), email me - robw AT wfmu DOT org or via wfmu.org... - if you wish, and I can give you some useful info regarding your musings about the archives.
	7:45am doca: @Guido: Gil and Caetano's albums you're saying those from the sixties when they were at their most tropicália moment?
	7:47am Chuck: HUH? 60s garage from Africa? Really, Meghan?
	7:48am Meghan: Really Chuck..... this band was HUGE in Zambia. There is a box set out there of their stuff, check it out.
	7:49am Andrew: love this one! african garage rock!
	7:50am Chuck: I was just thinking it was something I should direct Primitive George to as well....
	7:51am Andrew: interesting article about Witch http://www.allmusic.com/album/introduction-mw0002041663
	7:52am David L.B. is RRN63: - yeah! - maybe even like Hasil Adkins' chicken song...
	7:52am Guido (Cologne): @doca: definetely those! they're so fantastic! "Who the hell is Sgt. Pepper", i use to say. Just went through the Veloso-Trilogy yesterday evening. Glberto Gil's secont album is one of those 5-star++ ... best albums ever to be published in the world.
	7:53am doca: @Guido: haha "White Album? You mean the one from Caetano Veloso?"
	7:53am Rob W: Ooh - sorry about the car Meghan! Believe it or not I've never made it to Lowell, though it is indeed Cambodian mecca for the east coast. However - we have been to Revere, MA (closer to Boston) where there is a strip of Cambodian restaurants and shops on Shirley Ave. We've enjoyed eating at Floating Rock restaurant there.
	7:54am doca: The blog has been a way of getting to know better especially Gil and Caetano and the tropicália moment. I always listened to it from my parents, so it has always been something quite domestic and related to some artists which aren't usually considered the big geniuses, like Alceu Valença for instance. It has been cool to regain a taste for Brazilian music
	7:55am Guido (Cologne): "white Album" by Veloso, yes ... Yeah, African garage rock. Great track. Have to like this. which one was it?
	7:55am Marmalade Kitty: Zambian cheeze! :)
	7:57am Guido (Cologne): Of course you have the better insight, doca. My dear Brazilian friend startet to listen to Tropicalia just because of me! (she's more into motors and gardening, not music.)
	7:58am doca: @Guido: yes, she must get same feeling I have of being foreigner to your own tradition.
	7:58am doca: @Guido: but motors?
	7:59am Guido (Cologne): She comes out of a mechanics family. Her brothers and cousins do car-racing.
	8:01am doca: Really? What's her name or family name? I'm very into car racing, though I used to keep track of the Brazilian championships more earlier.
	8:02am doca: I guess it's my most incoherent personality trait, because I don't drive, I don't like cars, nothing in my personal tastes indicates that I would like racing, and still I do. Blame it on a F1 and IndyCar dad
	8:02am Guido (Cologne): @Meghan: Wich one was the "garage"-track. have to "Like" it!
	8:04am davex: Interesting track (Burundi Black)!
	8:04am Meghan: Which one was WITCH! ha!
	8:05am Chuck: You could have turned that into an Abbott and Costello routine, Meghan... hehe...
	8:06am Chuck: Is "We Intend to Cause Havoc!" the comp title?
	8:06am Andrew: love this burundi black song good thing you didn't forget burundi this time ^_^
	8:07am Meghan: That is the one Chuck!
	8:07am Marmalade Kitty: Something about Burundi Black makes me think o Madness..The piano?
	8:08am Guido (Cologne): @doca family name is Ramon. Out of Curitiba-area. Her cousin#s name is Wison Ramon. It's a special kind of racing. Modified cars slipping over wet ground. Don't know what it is called.
	8:09am davex: Interesting wiki on Burundi Black: en.wikipedia.org...
	8:11am Brian in UK: Hello Meghan. Great work on the African theme. Give the Drummers some. Go see them if you ever get the chance.
	8:11am David L.B. is RRN63: - of course - that Burundi sort of double or multiple (?) drum sound was influential on Malcolm McLaren-related artists like BowWowWow & AdamAnt...
	8:11am Guido (Cologne): Thank you Meghan! Great pun fitting my typos.
	8:13am Brian in UK: Stay away from Burundi Steiphenson Black. Real World released a solid album.
	8:13am Andrew: so many good/great F1 drivers from Brazil O_O
	8:15am doca: @Guido: don't know it either, but sounds kinda crazy/wild thing.
	8:16am Dave B: I've been conscripted to help my sister out. Headphones on. Happy thanksgiving everyone
	8:16am doca: @Andrew: yes, it makes me proud in a certain way, and in Indy too, but as other aspects of Brazilian sports, motor racing is also going backwards or almost killed. Anyway, I always end up talking mostly about bad things in Brazil, so I guess I'll shut up about it here eheh
	8:18am David L.B. is RRN63: - driving on wet ground - it'd be good skills for driving in a New England Winter !...
	8:18am Guido (Cologne): @doca it is crazy/wild/dangerous. Her cousin was in hospital several times with serious injuries. Her brother so to say lives in an mechanics workshop. One fridge, one bed, one TV, the rest is car-parts and stuff. Crazy family. Her father was innovator in car-heating.
	8:19am doca: It's Speed Racer's family...
	8:20am Andrew: cya next time Dave B, have a good one ^_^
	8:21am Guido (Cologne): ... really! they are! Completely in love with motors!
	8:26am doca: Guido, do you know Itamar Assumpção, Luiz Tatit, Arrigo Barnabé and others, those guys in the so-called "Paulistan vanguard" in the 80's? It's a bunch of guys experimenting in the same way as in tropicália. I was thinking about translating something of it just to call attention to it
	8:29am hamburger: heyo - tuning in late.. guessing the surprise being.. an AFRICAN RUSH COVER BAND!?
	8:30am Dave B: That African metal band?
	8:31am Meghan: ha! Hamburger, if I had found an African RUSH cover band, that would totally have been played! hahaha Dave, I totally forgot about the metal band. I think they were from Angola
	8:32am davex: Interesting traditional track - sounds like a Middle Eastern influence.
	8:32am Guido (Cologne): @doca: maybe it's an idea even to write about the artists and give tips what exactly is worth listening. Not fimilar with any of the names. For sure they deserve attention. Who would expect, Brazil dried out after forst wave of Tropicalists? I have a few insights from DJ-mix-tapes, but these mix-tapes were made for the dancefloor.
	8:35am davex: Surprise? Is it schedule-related?
	8:35am Meghan: nope.....
	8:36am Brian in UK: The Thompson Twins?
	8:36am KP: Did you say you were looking for the Kate Bush of Africa?
	8:36am Dave B: http://noisecreep.com/african-heavy-metal-bands/
	8:39am David L.B. is RRN63: - yeah davex - I woulda guessed Turkish for that one! ...African Metal? Oh man! - That sounds great!
	8:42am doca: @Dave: great articles you posted there. @Guido: Good idea to write about it. Brazil has not dried in the 80's, but unfortunately I'm not much into what's going on right now. But those guys are worth checking out, especially Itamar Assumpção.
	8:42am Marmalade Kitty: Greek-Turkish..
	8:43am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Evil Brady: Skinflint = best band name ever
	8:43am KP: Oh, and good morning again and this time Happy Thanksgiving. I liked your brine pic.
	8:47am Guido (Cologne): @doca : Go where your inspiration drives you! It#s the most effective and most fun! the classic can wait! ;-) @Dave 7 African Metal Bands to Check Out just shared on FB. "We Intend To Cause Havoc! " went to the shopping cart for Christmas. This looks much too epic, this band history. www.amazon.com...
	8:48am doca: @Meghan: you have to do a special show on African metal!
	8:49am Brian in UK: The TT's www.youtube.com...
	8:49am KP: Was it the Rush of Africa?
	8:50am Meghan: Here's some fun viewing....djrioblog.com...
	8:51am KP: Wild turkeys, once eliminated in Massachusetts, are flourishing from Plymouth to Concord and - to the surprise of some wildlife officials - making forays into densely populated suburban and urban areas, including parts of Boston, Cambridge and, most recently, Brookline.
	8:51am doca: A friend of mine in Minas Gerais always complained that the metal band he played (they opened for Bling Guardian in Belo Horizonte) lacked "local colour". Their release used to say the band was created in a freezing night in Governador Valadares (their hometown), but in Valadares is always warm as an oven.
	8:52am Andrew: looking at your blog doca, it's some good work. Will look properly after the show ^_^ Siti binti Saad was a nice song, seems old, 1930? but her voice didn't sound 'old' style
	8:52am doca: thanks, Andrew
	8:55am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Why does this song make me think of an African version of Queen?
	8:55am Dave B: Freddie's dead!
	8:56am Meghan: ummmm, because it IS QUEEN?
	8:56am doca: @Dave: I've laughed loud here
	8:57am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Oh... I didn't actually read the playlist when I typed that.
	8:57am Chuck: Hence the surprise factor...
	8:58am Brian in UK: Oh thank the Lawd for hair dye. Great show Meghan.
	8:58am KP: wow. Have a nice Thanksgiving! It will be our first in NYC. beautiful day for it.
	8:59am doca: Happy thanksgivig to you all!
	8:59am davex: Thanks Meghan - happy holidays everyone in holidayland...
	8:59am Chuck: Time to get food prep going! Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!
	8:59am David L.B. is RRN63: - yes - Freddie Mercury's family had to flee Zanzibar in a political coup - so 'Bohemian Rhapsody' maybe not so 'meaningless'...
	9:00am Charles O: Bill! On the road with the fam listening as promised!
	9:19am Andrew: thanks for another great show Meghan ^_^ (dang browser crashed)
