	♥ 12:04pm common: hey irene!
	12:05pm kat330: H'Irene and hi all Trues to come. Hi, common!
	♥ 12:06pm Webhamster Henry: Not exactly live, not exactly WBAI, but I remember these ridiculous fun shows!
	12:06pm drumsoverbogota: Nice beginning! Good almost noon for everybody!
	12:07pm Parq: Okay, here's a question. If I want to listen to some of Citz K's FMU archives, and I don't want to download Real Audio, is there any other player that will run the RA format? Sorry to get this geeky this early in the proceedings.
	♥ 12:10pm mariano: Hi Irene, everyone -- thanks for the much needed dose of merriment!
	12:11pm Van in DC: This probably wasn't the ideal day to be late, looks like. Oops. But the Cherry Blossoms needed a shoulder to cry on. The weather has them pretty confused.
	12:12pm kat330: Yes, humor is the antidote here for a very rainy day and Monday and just back from the County Clerk's office where nobody -- I mean NO ONE -- had a smile on her face.
	♥ 12:12pm Webhamster Henry: @Parq: you can use VLC .. do "Open Network", paste the link from the archive into the "Network" url
	♥ 12:12pm Irene Trudel: @Parq, use VLC. It works for all of those files, Mac or PC
	♥ 12:13pm Webhamster Henry: VLC can be little choppy though. I used to keep an old version of realplayer around that didn't have so many ads, but I bet it doesn't work anymore.
	12:14pm drumsoverbogota: It's normal for a non-english native speaker not understand a lot of things in this program?
	♥ 12:14pm Brian C.: Approx when did this Citizen K stuff originally air?
	12:14pm kat330: @drums: I'd almost guarantee it.
	♥ 12:15pm Webhamster Henry: Hey, what's playing at the Clutch Cargo Space this week?
	♥ 12:16pm common: hi kat330! all!
	12:17pm Parq: Harry, thanks. I know that files can skip on VLC, but that sounds like a good solution for the occasions when I want to hear a really old FMU archive show.
	♥ 12:17pm Irene Trudel: @ drumsoverbogota, yes. And even some native speakers might not understand the language. We will translate presently.
	♥ 12:19pm Ike: I didn't know that VLC could do that. I used to use Real Alternative with Media Player Classic for old RealAudio files.
	12:19pm Van in DC: I have no idea
	12:21pm Robert: That bit about solid rocketry was true. I'm still trying to get my homemade black powder & whistle rockets to fly consistently rather than either exploding, fizzling, or flying at the audience.
	12:22pm Robert: I have not attempted the wire method of charging as given in that recorded bit.
	12:23pm kat330: I thought Clutch Cargo was THE creepiest cartoon ever. Glad I wasn't really young at its inception.
	12:28pm kat330: Nice band sounds.
	12:29pm drumsoverbogota: Thank you Irene and kat330! ;) I normally understand movies and news channels, but I guess i'm not used to radio yet
	12:30pm Cecile: Love live Citizen Kafka!
	12:31pm still b/p: This'll make you sit up straight.
	12:32pm Cecile: Long live, der.
	♥ 12:35pm Webhamster Henry: Yes, long intros from the Citizen.
	12:36pm Parq: I spent a few years living in Harrisburg in the summer of 1981.
	12:38pm kat330: I dig the ting-a-ling-a-ling sounds.
	♥ 12:40pm Webhamster Henry: I was probably there at 2 Boots, which is now closed.
	12:53pm kat330: Under the cataract and all wet.
	♥ 12:56pm Webhamster Henry: You have to hear these in the context of WBAI's community Bulletin board and promotional carts.
	12:58pm kat330: I'm amazed how much works outside of context.
	12:58pm Cecile: it is quite funny, if you've ever heard a community bulletin board anywhere, Henry. I used to edit those things back in the day for a smalltown NPR station. YOu wouldn't believe what people thought were events.
	♥ 1:00pm Webhamster Henry: Agreed,but at WBAI, the events were things like this: www.echonyc.com...
	1:02pm Cecile: I"ll have to listen to that when I have a minute.
	1:05pm Cecile: oh dear lord, that was hilarious.
	1:19pm kat330: Mr. Goodman! :)
	1:35pm ?: Wonderful, remember going to see Wretched Refuse, So fun, great show
	1:37pm Jack: That was me, not anonymous on purpose...has anyone noticed the math problems to post have gotten much easier? Do WFMU listeners need remedial problems even when sober? just sayin'
	♥ 1:39pm Irene Trudel: @Jack, we're just trying to see if you're awake! (and a real human)
	♥ 1:41pm Webhamster Henry: The security equation is easy on purpose... always has been AFAIK.
	1:49pm Jack: I remember it still being addition, but you actually had to add! Anyway, digging Statman now, what a monster.
	♥ 1:52pm Andrew Waterloo: Anything but captcha, anything but captcha
	♥ 1:52pm Webhamster Henry: My band has a rule: NO NOODLING.
	♥ 1:53pm Irene Trudel: Unless the noodling has a purpose...
	♥ 1:54pm Webhamster Henry: Well, they eventually get somewhere...
	♥ 1:55pm Webhamster Henry: In this case, toe Flop-eared Mule.
	♥ 1:56pm Webhamster Henry: Andy Statman, National Heritage Fellow: www.nyfolklore.org...
	♥ 1:59pm Irene Trudel: Very cool, Henry! Ed knew about this but hasn't seen the article yet. Thanks for the link!
	2:00pm O Pine: Noodling is freedom. No noodling is indie-fascist.
	♥ 2:15pm Andrew Waterloo: Noodling just has to be done for right reasons.
	2:16pm Kurt Gottschalk: holy mackerel!
	♥ 2:18pm Webhamster Henry: Kafka had a lot of alternate lyrics for this one.
	♥ 2:23pm Gaylord Fields: Kafka's version even tops the Smothers Brothers' two different takes on the Santa Claus mythos: www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com...
	♥ 2:36pm Webhamster Henry: Kafka also did fill-ins as well as his more produced shows, where he could play his "Vox Populi" outsider recordings.
	♥ 2:37pm Matt from Springfield: First time catching the annual Citizen Kafka show live--it's been splendid! Thanks Irene and guests!
	2:43pm Parq: This was a freaking great show. Thanks, Irene, as always, for your labor of love.
	♥ 2:44pm Matt from Springfield: Tanz mit mir, Milchratten!
	♥ 2:44pm Webhamster Henry: "so cheesy , as a cheese should be"
	♥ 2:45pm Webhamster Henry: Some guy shouting "Commie Nudie" was a frequent caller on WBAI call-in shows.
	2:46pm Robert: Holding back the Nothing Song for the end?
	♥ 2:49pm Irene Trudel: @Robert, not gonna play that one today. There's a version in last year's show I believe.
	♥ 2:49pm Webhamster Henry: Aha! Citizen Kafka Band. No theremin break on this one though.
	♥ 2:50pm Matt from Springfield: Lampoon/Fireside/Python/WBAI/WFMU spirited humor! So great!
	♥ 2:53pm Matt from Springfield: Shout out to original Cosmos! :)
	♥ 2:55pm Matt from Springfield: The Whom! LOVE Citizen K's community calendar pieces!! :D
	♥ 2:59pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks as well to "Our youthful Green Card workcrew" who volunteered for us this recent Marathon!
	♥ 3:00pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks! This show was excellent! Happy Shulkoth!!

April 7, 2014: A Celebration of Shulkoth! Communiqués with the dearly depared Citizen Kafka.

photomontage: Marty Cutler

As Edward Haber, one of Citizen Kafka's co-conspirators says, "Based on the lunar calendar, the celebration of Shulcoth has arrived. To determine the actual date, Mr. "Angry" Red Weltz commented thusly: “I've rolled the shards of 3 Boswell Sisters 78s, studied the entrails of a Howdy Doody hand puppet and read the soy sauce smears on a Wo Hop lo mein plate. All the signs say April 7th”. And so it shall be-- another celebration of the dearly departed Citizen Kafka on Irene's show, featuring Edward Haber, Kenny Kosek and Marty Cutler and a cast of???.
