Listener comments!
	3:06am P-90: Good morning Bill and all the Buttless Chaps
	3:08am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Bill and good morning. Hey, P-90: these fellows sound quasi-buttless.
	3:09am Andy in Berlin: Good morning everyone!! A cool end of summer day over here. The menu for today is a nice big piece of Turkish honeydew melon. And a croissant. Yum!
	3:10am Fran: Mornin' folks from Rochdale where the weather is more grey and miserable than the Peter Hammill Holiday Camp
	3:11am mauri: hello morning. this song is strange.
	3:14am Fran: Sounds like a good mix of healthy and not there Andy. It will be some form of granola here shortly which is much less exotic but as the weather is the equivalent of burnt toast its a step up....
	3:16am Sem Chumbo: Local blueberries, honey and whipped cream, and strong black French Roast here.
	3:18am Fran: I thought Sheryl Crow was going to start bleating at some point with this one?
	3:18am Bill Mac: Hey all.... @P-90 - A guy can take that comment two ways... it applies to me on both counts - Happy Holiday weekend to all! You're killing me Sem!
	3:20am P-90: Sem is, slowly but surely, talking me into moving to Nova scotia
	3:21am Fran: Good one Sem. Clearly the WFMU midnight snack cafe isn't quite so well stocked.......I think you need to chew an old Styx album if you get hungry......
	3:21am Sem Chumbo: Better get used to a lot of music like this...everywhere. And, how do you look in a kilt? Mandatory, you know.
	3:23am Sem Chumbo: @Fran: surely there is a crust of an old Bread album lying around?
	3:23am Jay/London: good morning all and happy holiday to all of you on the other side of the pond
	3:24am Fran: They were always stale Sem.....
	3:24am david from ks: ,,,,that`s Kool music !! Good stuffDJB
	3:25am megrevs: Hey there. What was the name of that Irish track you just played? It didn't show in the playlist Cheers
	3:25am Fran: The mighty but mad Esquivel...joy!
	3:25am Bill Mac: &P-90 Tell me about it! I was actually looking for healthcare facilities near Halifax that could use my skills. Apparently they don't get sick in NS.
	3:26am Brian in UK: G'day Bill 'n folks. Was playing Esquivel at home only this week in prep for making a mixtape(CD).
	3:26am Bill Mac: Hi megrevs That would be The Somber Goofball by DJ Female Convist Scorpion
	3:27am Fran: We have a Halifax about 15 miles from here - do not move there by mistake........you'll regret it!
	3:29am A Phlebotomist Writes: Those whaling ships do not carry scurvy like they used to Bill so your skills might be less necessary.
	3:29am mauri: I'd like to visit Banff someday... or somewhere nice in Canada.
	3:32am Brian in UK: @mauri fuuny that it is called British Columbia. Over here the label was CBS!!!
	3:33am Bill Mac: @APW - Damn whaling ships with theit health regs... @Mauri-Banff was great last time we were through. First time I ever experienced light at 1030 pm.
	3:34am Fran: Halifax, West Yorkshire it is then Bill where scurvy and ricketts are just for wimps!
	3:35am Sem Chumbo: Scurvy and ricketts: is that like bangers and mash?
	3:36am Bill Mac: mmmmmm.... scurvy
	3:38am Fran: Scurvy and ricketts also sound like bad TV detectives (Crockett and Tubbs with issues), a law firm you wouldn't use or an awful folk duo that make you itch at the very mention of their name...
	3:39am Brian in UK: Was looking in the store cupboard and saw Jumbo Oats, thought he was the fat boy in our class at skool.
	3:39am Guido from Cologne: Good morning Bill and everyone!
	3:40am Stanley: Is it pirate talk time? Great, I'm in.
	3:40am Brian in UK: Scurvy, Ricketts & Colman. Estate Agents.

	3:42am Brian in UK: That and cannulation.
	3:42am andy in berlin: @Bill - here in Berlin we have light at 10:30pm every summer. Then light again at ca 4am.
	3:43am Fran: Ah yes Brian - Lionel Itchy used to work there but he put off a lot of potential customers with the way he said hello apparently and tried to sell too many places where you had to live on the ceiling?
	3:43am Bill Mac: Andy gots a good breakfast combo too...
	3:43am Stanley: Eeeuw! Brian, you and your medical procedures.
	3:44am Fran: We have that too in Rochdale......its called a candle!
	3:44am Brian in UK: That would be Blancmange Buildings.
	3:44am mauri: we get light in summer and darkness in winter. no playing with the switch
	3:45am Fran: Cannulation - was that a Cliff Richard b-side?
	3:46am KP: Cues are important
	3:46am Brian in UK: It really is bonkers, Bill. Little Eva's follow up to The Locomotion.
	3:47am Fran: KP - in pool or in life?
	3:47am Stanley: @ KP - so are peas
	3:47am Brian in UK: I do not want to go near Cliff's B-side.
	3:47am P-90: @Bill: May I ask what your medical specialty(s) is (are)? Nothing better to do? What's better to do on a Saturday at 3am? Woah--- that commute is 90 miles? Jeez...
	3:47am Sem Chumbo: Jazz stew. I am in.
	3:48am Fran: Cliff's B-side - apparently it is wired for sound too!
	3:49am P-90: [Googling Lionel Itchy]
	3:49am Brian in UK: P-90 & return.
	3:49am KP: Esquivel? Christmas already?
	3:50am Guido from Cologne: "Incredible Strange Music" Books
	3:50am Jay/London: at bill I always make room for your show looking forward to it every week ... weekend would not be the same with out it ... "if you have nothing better to do" !!!
	3:51am mauri: yeh thats well pronounced Bill. it's just Jaakko fooling around.
	3:52am Fran: Esquivel will be a part of our drive down to Cornwall - we need 7 hours of music to make that journey bearable! Space Age Batchelor Pad it will be!
	3:53am Fran: The weekend - if it ain't Bill Mac you've just got jigsaws....
	3:54am Jay/London: @Fran is it a holiday or something else ?
	3:54am david from ks: ,,anyone familiar with orgonite? Ive been carrying a cone-shaped piece of orgonite called a holyhand grenade since sunday,, I have to say i`m impressed with the positive feelings and relaxation that seem to be continually emanating from this. nothin else just commenting ,,,,-n that Esquivel too good,,,thanx
	3:55am Brian in UK: Better than bandsaws, very dangerous. david from ks Organite in Orbit?
	3:55am Fran: Holiday Jay - a week in a cottage and the South West Coast Path with lots of fresh fish and local beer!
	3:56am Fran: Wasn't orgonite what they were going to use instead of Kryptonite if Rick Wakeman was offered the role of Superman?
	3:57am Jay/London: @ fran sounds great and to weather is looking good for the next week ... we want pictures too :)
	3:58am Brian in UK: Nice one Fran, should be a bit quieter now with skools going back. Less grockles about.
	3:58am Jay/London: @ Fran superman with a beard ?
	3:58am david from ks: ,,,,Good One B in UK !!
	3:59am coalhard: States that legalize pot reporting no problems--pill deaths are down tax revenues are out the roof even domestic disputes are down gee golly
	4:00am Fran: Ah - its week beginning 13th we go Jay/Brian so just hope the weather holds. We've been lucky in previous years. Yes, there will be lots of snaps! Fewer grockles so yes better!
	4:03am Fran: Superman with a beard - could be funny in a Brian Blessed sort of way!. I think the ad for 'wanted, tall man with a cape' needed a bit more explanation to ensure no Wakeman applications!
	4:03am Sem Chumbo: In Canada it is spelled "grackles."
	4:03am KP: So the needle fell or broke off the expensive turntable I never use
	4:04am Fran: Sem, does that mean tourists too?
	4:04am Sem Chumbo: Oh, the needle and the damage done.
	4:04am KP: Because I tried to play a Moody Blues album I picked out of the garbage at fmu
	4:05am Sem Chumbo: Birds of a feather, Fran.
	4:05am Jay/London: oh yes Brian blessed as superman now that would be something else
	4:05am Bill Mac: Brian Blessed - the king in Black Adder, right? What up KP!
	4:06am Jay/London: and he was in Flash the movie Bill
	4:07am Fran: Watched the cheesy Flash Gordon film the other day with him as Voltan - best comedy since Roger Moore as Bond!
	4:07am coalhard: PLEASE HELP LEGALIZE POT where you live I am tired of going to jail every year
	4:09am david from ks: ,,,The Grackles around Brownsville,TX. sound like thunderclap,,,monstrously beautiful !
	4:09am Fran: Black Adder - Deep joy indeed. Don't get me started.....
	4:10am coalhard: a waste of taxpayer dollars my lawyer cost taxpayers 9,000 dollars last year
	4:10am Jay/London: here he is Bill www.youtube.com...
	4:10am KP: Getting ready for party mrs KP is throwing. Work people only. I'm not allowed to speak to them. Only offer cocktails
	4:12am Fran: KP - possibly a good thing you aren't doing a vinyl DJ set for them. Cocktail sticks are no good as an emergency replacement stylus!
	4:12am Guido from Cologne: I will see Swans in Cologne ... along with Pharmacon (often featured on Kaeili's show)
	4:12am P-90: Oh, one of those "work people only" deals...
	4:12am Stanley: When are you coming to Europe, Bill?
	4:13am marmalade kitty: good morning Bill and folk
	4:13am P-90: Hi marmalade
	4:14am KP: Fran, that's a great idea. Yes I am expected to spin some light jazz
	4:14am david from ks: ,,,,hey wasnt Voltan the name of the late Jayne Mansfield`s Son? and Anton LeVey`s Lion?
	4:14am Bill Mac: Kittay!
	4:14am Fran: Why not risk a bit of Esquivel?
	4:14am Jay/London: Morning Marmalade kitty how you doing ?
	4:15am coalhard: and I spent 2 hours in jail-then released cost to tax payers in thousands my cost nothing tended to plants not found in evening
	4:15am Bill Mac: @Stanley - There's been talk round the Mac household, but it's still at least a year away... love to actually...
	4:17am Fran: A MacAttack in Europe....bring it on!
	4:17am Stanley: We'll set up a tour.
	4:17am KP: Believe it or not I just checked iTunes for esquivel Fran
	4:18am Jay/London: @ bill my trip to new York has been put back to next year hope you are not over here when i am over there
	4:18am Stanley: Second thoughts, we'll get a bus!
	4:19am Bill Mac: I can't see us being that in sync Jay :) Let me know when you get here though.
	4:20am david from ks: ,,,,,Organite out ,,,,peace2all
	4:20am coalhard: EVERYBODY SHUT THE HELL UP--WE HAVE A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS SETTLED NOW RIGHT NOW AND NO FURTHER
	4:21am Rectitude: tattoo
	4:21am Jay/London: @ Bill i am thinking maybe July
	4:21am Bill Mac: Later David, don't put that in your mouth
	4:22am Fran: KP - our Vulcan Mind Meld is clearly working!
	4:23am Bill Mac: @Jay Just make sure you stop by 43 Monty one way or the other
	4:23am coalhard: I GIVE UP --LOVE YOU PEOPLE
	4:23am KP: Hello, it's me
	4:23am Fran: Jay - first trip to NY?

	4:24am Stanley: Its cool Coal.
	4:24am Jay/London: @ Fran Yes
	4:24am Sem Chumbo: Like 23-skidoo, Jay.
	4:24am Rectitude: Love ya to coalHARD
	4:25am P-90: That's what my dear Aunt Batty used to say! "Take that orgonite out of your mouth, you don't know where it's BEEN!
	4:26am Sem Chumbo: with head in the fridge MOM: "You want to eat this? I'm just going to throw it out."
	4:27am Fran: A few years since I was there Jay but have been quite a few times. I even managed the WFMU record fair one year! Aiming to go back next year too but its way off being confirmed as it depends on final agreement with my beloved!
	4:27am Jay/London: @ sem Chumbo 23 Skidoo are a British band playing a fusion of industrial, post-punk, alternative dance, rock, and world music. The group was named after an early 20th-century American slang phrase that later made appearances in the works of Aleister Crowley, William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, and filmmaker Julian Bigg
	4:27am coalhard: thanks friends! take care
	4:27am mauri: you two cousins?
	4:28am Sem Chumbo: @Jay: Thanks!
	4:29am Jay/London: @ Fran am looking forward to it was going two years ago but my health was not up for it
	4:31am Sem Chumbo: 43 Montgomery Street is 'FMU's address in Jersey City, I believe.
	4:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm supposed to be sleeping - but sneaking in to say listening anyhow - & I recommend 'Black Adder' - a fine addition to the BritComs...
	4:34am Jay/London: yes Bill I plan to go to 43 Montgomery Street yay !!! :)
	4:34am Fran: You'll love it Jay!
	4:35am Brian in UK: Just realised Jenny Lewis is playing this week, sold out. Crying into my porridge.
	4:36am Brian in UK: SAw Help Yourself 40 years ago at the Roundhouse.
	4:36am Jay/London: @ Fran I am sure I know a few friends over there in new york and north caroline
	4:37am P-90: Debbie Harry sings an ode to Houdini? I'm there!
	4:37am coalhard: Thanks for the music Bill outstanding show but I have to make like a fetus and head out love ya!!!!
	4:38am Brian in UK: BILL, YOU HAVE MAKE AN OLD MAN HAPPY WITH ACKLES. MY FAVOURITE.
	4:38am Bill Mac: Later on Coal - stay sane!
	4:40am Bill Mac: No kidding Brian - I wasn't sure what to make of him, but this is cool and will definitely compliment the next tune on the docket
	4:40am Fran: Ackles is great indeed - I remember Elton John enthusing over him on one of those Elvis Costello Spectacle interviews - which renewed some respect for Elton in me after his years of Tiara's and Tantrums!
	4:41am Brian in UK: I proposed to my wife to his song, House Above the Strand on his fourth album. Enough information.
	4:42am Bill Mac: Fran Elton doesn't bother me much anymore, but remember when he was kinda cool, for like a minute back in the beginning?
	4:43am Brian in UK: Fran never cared for Elton's music, always loved the fact thet he was a music FAN.
	4:45am Bill Mac: Lovely story Brian - glad I hit the nail on the head
	4:45am P-90: Elton was cool for a couple of years in the early 70s
	4:46am marmalade kitty: Any Roy Harper, Bill?
	4:47am Bill Mac: @Kitty - for you kitty I'll see what I can do. I got another request that might lean up against that rather nicely.
	4:47am Bill Mac: @P-90 Honky Chateau methinks
	4:48am Jay/London: @ P-90 when he played with John Lennon and when he was in the film Tommy he was coolish
	4:48am Fran: Same with me Bill - he had some excellent material early on - turned into a ridiculous circus act and then has redeemed his credibility although I'm passive about his material. But as Brian says he is a real fan and that commands respect. Its odd but there is a clutch of 70s singer songwriters who are dismissed as cheese but if you delve into their (usually earlier) catalogues there is often more than the odd flash of genius which has been overlooked unfairly due to cheese or pop hit moments - classic case is Gilbert O'Sullivan
	4:50am KP: Ok, Esquivel Infinity in Sound Vols 1-2 have been added to party list. Any other random suggestions for this swanky soiree?
	4:50am marmalade kitty: I draw a line at gilbert o'sullivan.. LOL
	4:51am Stanley: Elton Bog cool? Yeah, like 'for a minute' - nice one Bill. For me, he sorted the sheep from the goats back in the day (Ps proud to be a goat!)
	4:51am Fran: KP - Astrud Gilberto, Jobim - brazilian end of light?
	4:51am Guido from Cologne: This is cool! What does entry **** (new/special9 mean?
	4:51am KP: Elton john's early stuff can get epic. Some song about NY?
	4:52am P-90: Those of us old enough to remember those ancient days when Elton was cool also remember that that it was really the duo of Elton and Bernie Taupin that was cool...
	4:52am Brian in UK: The song Talking Old Soldiers on Tumbleweed Connection is dedicated to David (Ackles)
	4:52am Bill Mac: @Guido - must be an extry special recording - wonder how that happened.
	4:53am Fran: Marmalade Kitty - you do need to look beyond the cheese with GO'S - you'll find reissues of his older albums reviewed more fairly based on their merits i.e. if no one told you it was him you would never guess
	4:53am Brian in UK: @P-90 Is there a better song than Lady Samantha?
	4:53am Stanley: @MK - try listening to Uncle Michael's show, where there are no guilty secrets. Makes me face up to my inner Sullivans
	4:54am Brian in UK: Gilbert's last drummer before he sadly died Roly Kerridge also drummed on More Kante's Yeke Yeke.
	4:55am KP: Mona Lisa & Mad Hatters is the one i was thinking of, i think
	4:55am Fran: There should be no guilty secrets around music - remembering that Esquivel was your parents muzak and at 18 you would never admit to liking that but in this revisionist world it is all now super cool and visionary!
	4:56am P-90: "Lady Samantha"1 That's going WAY back. Cool early single, I don't think anyone in America heard it until Elton became well known a few years later.
	4:57am Brian in UK: Still find James Last & Bert Kamfart hard to listen to.
	4:57am KP: Sad thing is Fran, i have some of this stuff but since we moved to apartment and it's all buried, not that wasnt buried when we lived in suburbs
	4:59am Stanley: @ Brian - Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass?
	4:59am Brian in UK: Stanley, at least Herb co-founded A&M with Jerry Moss.
	5:00am KP: Fran im so revisionist i have Space Age Bachelor Music somewhere. i hated it when i bought it but now that im old it seems like good choice for party. But i cant find it in this mess. Also when you have a party you (I) hide everything.
	5:00am P-90: And of course WFMU stalwart Irwin Chusid was instrumental in sparking the Esquivel revival in the 90s.
	5:00am Fran: Shame KP!
	5:01am Fran: I hide things too KP - wise!
	5:01am KP: Draw line @ Herb Alpert
	5:02am Brian in UK: .....and Phil Ochs recorded on A&M.
	5:02am Guido from Cologne: I was so happy in the early 90ies, that finally i was able to confess that I love easy listening.
	5:02am Stanley: Thinking about it, I like all music except the stuff that's played on the radio. What am I saying??
	5:02am KP: Was he P-90? One of the guests got to know Irwin through Irwin's most recent project.
	5:02am marmalade kitty: Gilbert o'sullivan screwed his manager out of millions apparently. It's usually the other way.. well done! :/
	5:03am Fran: Gilbert O' Sullivan and Allen Klein.....never seen together in the same room?
	5:03am Stanley: Herb Alpert and his Marijuana Grass - one for our friend.
	5:03am Rectitude: Kp at the party www.youtube.com...
	5:03am KP: i thought it was Saukerkraut and Other delights. THAT one will be played at party
	5:04am marmalade kitty: aaaaahhhdon't do it
	5:04am Fran: DON'T PLAY A HIT BILL - THAT'S THE GILBERT POINT!!!!
	5:04am KP: A&M signed the Flying Burrito Brothers!
	5:04am Guido from Cologne: I loved "manuel and his music from the mauntains", UK-Exotica. I was so proud to own "real adult" LPs !
	5:04am Brian in UK: Spanish Fly was a favourite.
	5:05am Fran: A&M also signed Styx!
	5:05am marmalade kitty: :)
	5:05am KP: it's come lately that woman on cover of Whipped Cream was pregnant, naturally enhanced.
	5:06am Brian in UK: @KP I have NEVER liked the mix on the first Burritos. Could have been so much better. Any thoughts?
	5:07am Bill Mac: @Brian Spanish Flea.... @Fran Styx - auuuugh - uhLaaaadehhh! (that's 'Lady' - pardon my phonetics)
	5:07am KP: Ok fran now checking into Asrtrud. Any recommends? Thanks.
	5:09am Fran: Babe by Styx is possibly the worst Hair Rock Ballad ever!
	5:09am Guido from Cologne: I have a cool version of spanish fly
	5:10am P-90: KP: If you're playing all that stuff you could throw in some Dave Brubeck too
	5:10am Brian in UK: Overtaken by viagra these days.
	5:10am Bill Mac: Should at least keep you from tipping over
	5:11am Fran: The compilation album, This Is Astrud Gilberto is a collection of lovely stuff?
	5:11am Brian in UK: What's happened to Spizz Energi?
	5:11am Fran: Or Athletico Spizz 80 or Spizz Oil??
	5:12am Brian in UK: Was there an Olympic Spizz?
	5:13am Brian in UK: Stanley, have you been eating your greens?
	5:14am Guido from Cologne: Spizz re-emerged in the late 90ies or early 00s. Playing shows as well.
	5:14am KP: Dave Brubeck is a little played out in NY. Also staying away from straight jazz just to infuriate a jazz guy who will be there.
	5:15am Stanley: Eating my greens? I've started to wearing them!
	5:16am Stanley: This show lacks a bit a bit of reggae in my opinion. Bill man - where you gonna run to?
	5:16am Brian in UK: Will you be voting next month?
	5:17am Fran: I'm all out of Spizz with those...
	5:17am Brian in UK: Keith Hudson DUB.
	5:17am Stanley: Of course, man! Where on this planet do people get a chance like this?
	5:18am Guido from Cologne: It took me years to understand that thing about the Spizz-names . Have the Atletico (0 LP but needed the singles.
	5:19am Fran: Some reggae - Prince Gilbert and The Do Wakka Doo Wakka Day Sound System?
	5:20am Fran: Spizz's Where's Captain Kirk was one of my schoolboy classics!
	5:21am Stanley: Prince Gilbert and O-Sullivaaaans
	5:21am Fran: Gilbert - Riddim Go Farward!!!
	5:22am Guido from Cologne: "Captain kirk" is a killer! I once recorded "Soldier" from the radio and loved it so much but never could find it. Nver got the things together. Not before the retrospective comp came out.
	5:23am Fran: Spizz does the occasional tour still I think - pretty certain I saw him listed a while back?
	5:24am Guido from Cologne: @TK Put some Tito Puente. Allways works and is very NY.
	5:24am Brian in UK: Jenny Lewis is doing a second show. Yipeee.
	5:25am Fran: Your luck is in Brian!
	5:25am Sem Chumbo: Hahaha. Gilbert! Music at this morning's market is a Toad the Wet Sproket tribute band. Can't wait. Gotta go and make some more friends of Bill W. now, Bill M. Crushingly good show this morning! See you, and all, next time, insha'allah.
	5:26am marmalade kitty: The off-off beat
	5:26am Stanley: Oh man here e com agen!
	5:26am Fran: Toad The Wet Sprocket - ha! Tygers of Pan Tang next!!!
	5:27am Guido from Cologne: @Bill Your CD-skipping is on the air! hear some Gilbert'o'Sullivan mixed in or is it intentional?
	5:27am Brian in UK: Chin chin, Sem. Havn't got round to playing Rob's premium, will need a bit of a runup. Dumpy's Rusty Nuts anyone?
	5:27am Stanley: A Toad tribute band - ha! Enjoy Sem and see ya next time.
	5:28am Brian in UK: Blew me away when I discovered there was a Rutles tribute band.
	5:28am Fran: Thank you Bill for playing one of my all time heroes the much missed Mr Kevin Coyne
	5:29am Brian in UK: Bill, another hospital work in Mr Coyne.
	5:29am KP: Ok FRan. Astrud and Jobim on board. Have a LOT of french stuff on list so this balances out
	5:29am Fran: I think the Tygers of Pan Tang might pose as their own tribute band in the hope they would get a bigger crowd!
	5:29am Bill Mac: Later Sem!
	5:30am Fran: Excellent KP - cocktail sticks and groovy tracks all ready then!
	5:31am Stanley: @Brian - Anvil! That's what I crave.
	5:32am KP: The North Country Far? UK people dont speak good English like us New Yawkers
	5:32am Brian in UK: Stanley the Blacksmith. Sweat dripping as he forges the metal. Ha.
	5:33am Fran: All those New Wave Of British Heavy Metal Bands who are no more - Samson, Diamond Head, Witchfynde etc - as touted by Kerrappp! magazine...that's what I want!
	5:33am Stanley: Metal on metal, Brian,
	5:34am Brian in UK: More leatherette on polstyrene meself.
	5:34am Stanley: Anyone else see Roy Harper at Knebworth?
	5:34am Fran: Back to Cliff Richard again Brian.......
	5:35am Brian in UK: Bill, I was humming the Last Day of June from this album last week. The day that Ernst Roehm died.
	5:36am Fran: Only seen Harper in the 90's onwards - last years show with strings was sublime stuff!
	5:37am Stanley: Brian - is Watford Gap still there?
	5:37am Brian in UK: A song for each decade of the last century. Surpassing yourself today.
	5:38am Brian in UK: Yes Stanley but it is in Northamptonshire.
	5:38am Bill Mac: I remember some of the tunes on this album very clearly. My friend got a wild hair up his ass for Nostradamus. This was a big deal album back in 73 I think. I was gonna play Love Chronicles. Yeah man, I agree. We got a golden pickle here today.
	5:39am Stanley: Good, I'll make a pilgrimage to there one day.
	5:40am Brian in UK: Got to do it at three in the morning in a rusty Transit.
	5:40am Stanley: A lot on my life was spent hanging there with my thumb out!
	5:41am Stanley: A rusty transit - perfect (whips out destination sign and prays...... please, please)
	5:41am Brian in UK: When do you ever see hitchikers these days?
	5:44am marmalade kitty: Thanks Bill.
	5:45am Stanley: Cheap travel killed off a way of life, Brian.
	5:47am Bill Mac: No problem Kitty. A nice request for sure.
	5:47am Fran: and Rutger Hauer Stanley!
	5:47am Brian in UK: People do not have the time to stop. When I was riding my motorbike and had the chain snap, two guys in a car took me to the local bike shop to get a new one and dropped me back. This was in '69, unlikely to happen today.

Listener comments!
	3:06am P-90: Good morning Bill and all the Buttless Chaps
	3:08am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Bill and good morning. Hey, P-90: these fellows sound quasi-buttless.
	3:09am Andy in Berlin: Good morning everyone!! A cool end of summer day over here. The menu for today is a nice big piece of Turkish honeydew melon. And a croissant. Yum!
	3:10am Fran: Mornin' folks from Rochdale where the weather is more grey and miserable than the Peter Hammill Holiday Camp
	3:11am mauri: hello morning. this song is strange.
	3:14am Fran: Sounds like a good mix of healthy and not there Andy. It will be some form of granola here shortly which is much less exotic but as the weather is the equivalent of burnt toast its a step up....
	3:16am Sem Chumbo: Local blueberries, honey and whipped cream, and strong black French Roast here.
	3:18am Fran: I thought Sheryl Crow was going to start bleating at some point with this one?
	3:18am Bill Mac: Hey all.... @P-90 - A guy can take that comment two ways... it applies to me on both counts - Happy Holiday weekend to all! You're killing me Sem!
	3:20am P-90: Sem is, slowly but surely, talking me into moving to Nova scotia
	3:21am Fran: Good one Sem. Clearly the WFMU midnight snack cafe isn't quite so well stocked.......I think you need to chew an old Styx album if you get hungry......
	3:21am Sem Chumbo: Better get used to a lot of music like this...everywhere. And, how do you look in a kilt? Mandatory, you know.
	3:23am Sem Chumbo: @Fran: surely there is a crust of an old Bread album lying around?
	3:23am Jay/London: good morning all and happy holiday to all of you on the other side of the pond
	3:24am Fran: They were always stale Sem.....
	3:24am david from ks: ,,,,that`s Kool music !! Good stuffDJB
	3:25am megrevs: Hey there. What was the name of that Irish track you just played? It didn't show in the playlist Cheers
	3:25am Fran: The mighty but mad Esquivel...joy!
	3:25am Bill Mac: &P-90 Tell me about it! I was actually looking for healthcare facilities near Halifax that could use my skills. Apparently they don't get sick in NS.
	3:26am Brian in UK: G'day Bill 'n folks. Was playing Esquivel at home only this week in prep for making a mixtape(CD).
	3:26am Bill Mac: Hi megrevs That would be The Somber Goofball by DJ Female Convist Scorpion
	3:27am Fran: We have a Halifax about 15 miles from here - do not move there by mistake........you'll regret it!
	3:29am A Phlebotomist Writes: Those whaling ships do not carry scurvy like they used to Bill so your skills might be less necessary.
	3:29am mauri: I'd like to visit Banff someday... or somewhere nice in Canada.
	3:32am Brian in UK: @mauri fuuny that it is called British Columbia. Over here the label was CBS!!!
	3:33am Bill Mac: @APW - Damn whaling ships with theit health regs... @Mauri-Banff was great last time we were through. First time I ever experienced light at 1030 pm.
	3:34am Fran: Halifax, West Yorkshire it is then Bill where scurvy and ricketts are just for wimps!
	3:35am Sem Chumbo: Scurvy and ricketts: is that like bangers and mash?
	3:36am Bill Mac: mmmmmm.... scurvy
	3:38am Fran: Scurvy and ricketts also sound like bad TV detectives (Crockett and Tubbs with issues), a law firm you wouldn't use or an awful folk duo that make you itch at the very mention of their name...
	3:39am Brian in UK: Was looking in the store cupboard and saw Jumbo Oats, thought he was the fat boy in our class at skool.
	3:39am Guido from Cologne: Good morning Bill and everyone!

	3:42am andy in berlin: @Bill - here in Berlin we have light at 10:30pm every summer. Then light again at ca 4am.
	3:43am Fran: Ah yes Brian - Lionel Itchy used to work there but he put off a lot of potential customers with the way he said hello apparently and tried to sell too many places where you had to live on the ceiling?
	3:43am Bill Mac: Andy gots a good breakfast combo too...
	3:43am Stanley: Eeeuw! Brian, you and your medical procedures.
	3:44am Fran: We have that too in Rochdale......its called a candle!
	3:44am Brian in UK: That would be Blancmange Buildings.
	3:44am mauri: we get light in summer and darkness in winter. no playing with the switch
	3:45am Fran: Cannulation - was that a Cliff Richard b-side?
	3:46am KP: Cues are important
	3:46am Brian in UK: It really is bonkers, Bill. Little Eva's follow up to The Locomotion.
	3:47am Fran: KP - in pool or in life?
	3:47am Stanley: @ KP - so are peas
	3:47am Brian in UK: I do not want to go near Cliff's B-side.
	3:47am P-90: @Bill: May I ask what your medical specialty(s) is (are)? Nothing better to do? What's better to do on a Saturday at 3am? Woah--- that commute is 90 miles? Jeez...
	3:47am Sem Chumbo: Jazz stew. I am in.
	3:48am Fran: Cliff's B-side - apparently it is wired for sound too!
	3:49am P-90: [Googling Lionel Itchy]
	3:49am Brian in UK: P-90 & return.
	3:49am KP: Esquivel? Christmas already?
	3:50am Guido from Cologne: "Incredible Strange Music" Books
	3:50am Jay/London: at bill I always make room for your show looking forward to it every week ... weekend would not be the same with out it ... "if you have nothing better to do" !!!
	3:51am mauri: yeh thats well pronounced Bill. it's just Jaakko fooling around.
	3:52am Fran: Esquivel will be a part of our drive down to Cornwall - we need 7 hours of music to make that journey bearable! Space Age Batchelor Pad it will be!
	3:53am Fran: The weekend - if it ain't Bill Mac you've just got jigsaws....
	3:54am Jay/London: @Fran is it a holiday or something else ?
	3:54am david from ks: ,,anyone familiar with orgonite?

	3:55am Brian in UK: Better than bandsaws, very dangerous. david from ks Organite in Orbit?
	3:55am Fran: Holiday Jay - a week in a cottage and the South West Coast Path with lots of fresh fish and local beer!
	3:56am Fran: Wasn't orgonite what they were going to use instead of Kryptonite if Rick Wakeman was offered the role of Superman?
	3:57am Jay/London: @ fran sounds great and to weather is looking good for the next week ... we want pictures too :)
	3:58am Brian in UK: Nice one Fran, should be a bit quieter now with skools going back. Less grockles about.
	3:58am Jay/London: @ Fran superman with a beard ?
	3:58am david from ks: ,,,,Good One B in UK !!
	3:59am coalhard: States that legalize pot reporting no problems--pill deaths are down tax revenues are out the roof even domestic disputes are down gee golly
	4:00am Fran: Ah - its week beginning 13th we go Jay/Brian so just hope the weather holds. We've been lucky in previous years. Yes, there will be lots of snaps! Fewer grockles so yes better!
	4:03am Fran: Superman with a beard - could be funny in a Brian Blessed sort of way!. I think the ad for 'wanted, tall man with a cape' needed a bit more explanation to ensure no Wakeman applications!
	4:03am Sem Chumbo: In Canada it is spelled "grackles."
	4:03am KP: So the needle fell or broke off the expensive turntable I never use
	4:04am Fran: Sem, does that mean tourists too?
	4:04am Sem Chumbo: Oh, the needle and the damage done.
	4:04am KP: Because I tried to play a Moody Blues album I picked out of the garbage at fmu
	4:05am Sem Chumbo: Birds of a feather, Fran.
	4:05am Jay/London: oh yes Brian blessed as superman now that would be something else
	4:05am Bill Mac: Brian Blessed - the king in Black Adder, right? What up KP!
	4:06am Jay/London: and he was in Flash the movie Bill
	4:07am Fran: Watched the cheesy Flash Gordon film the other day with him as Voltan - best comedy since Roger Moore as Bond!
	4:07am coalhard: PLEASE HELP LEGALIZE POT where you live I am tired of going to jail every year
	4:09am david from ks: ,,,The Grackles around Brownsville,TX. sound like thunderclap,,,monstrously beautiful !
	4:09am Fran: Black Adder - Deep joy indeed. Don't get me started.....
	4:10am coalhard: a waste of taxpayer dollars my lawyer cost taxpayers 9,000 dollars last year
	4:10am Jay/London: here he is Bill www.youtube.com...
	4:10am KP: Getting ready for party mrs KP is throwing. Work people only. I'm not allowed to speak to them. Only offer cocktails
	4:12am Fran: KP - possibly a good thing you aren't doing a vinyl DJ set for them. Cocktail sticks are no good as an emergency replacement stylus!
	4:12am Guido from Cologne: I will see Swans in Cologne ... along with Pharmacon (often featured on Kaeili's show)
	4:12am P-90: Oh, one of those "work people only" deals...
	4:12am Stanley: When are you coming to Europe, Bill?
	4:13am marmalade kitty: good morning Bill and folk

	4:15am Bill Mac: @Stanley - There's been talk round the Mac household, but it's still at least a year away... love to actually...
	4:17am Fran: A MacAttack in Europe....bring it on!
	4:17am Stanley: We'll set up a tour.
	4:17am KP: Believe it or not I just checked iTunes for esquivel Fran
	4:18am Jay/London: @ bill my trip to new York has been put back to next year hope you are not over here when i am over there
	4:18am Stanley: Second thoughts, we'll get a bus!
	4:19am Bill Mac: I can't see us being that in sync Jay :) Let me know when you get here though.

	4:24am Sem Chumbo: Like 23-skidoo, Jay.
	4:24am Rectitude: Love ya to coalHARD
	4:25am P-90: That's what my dear Aunt Batty used to say! "Take that orgonite out of your mouth, you don't know where it's BEEN!
	4:26am Sem Chumbo: with head in the fridge MOM: "You want to eat this? I'm just going to throw it out."
	4:27am Fran: A few years since I was there Jay but have been quite a few times. I even managed the WFMU record fair one year! Aiming to go back next year too but its way off being confirmed as it depends on final agreement with my beloved!
	4:27am Jay/London: @ sem Chumbo 23 Skidoo are a British band playing a fusion of industrial, post-punk, alternative dance, rock, and world music. The group was named after an early 20th-century American slang phrase that later made appearances in the works of Aleister Crowley, William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, and filmmaker Julian Bigg
	4:27am coalhard: thanks friends! take care
	4:27am mauri: you two cousins?
	4:28am Sem Chumbo: @Jay: Thanks!
	4:29am Jay/London: @ Fran am looking forward to it was going two years ago but my health was not up for it
	4:31am Sem Chumbo: 43 Montgomery Street is 'FMU's address in Jersey City, I believe.
	4:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm supposed to be sleeping - but sneaking in to say listening anyhow - & I recommend 'Black Adder' - a fine addition to the BritComs...
	4:34am Jay/London: yes Bill I plan to go to 43 Montgomery Street yay !!! :)
	4:34am Fran: You'll love it Jay!
	4:35am Brian in UK: Just realised Jenny Lewis is playing this week, sold out. Crying into my porridge.
	4:36am Brian in UK: SAw Help Yourself 40 years ago at the Roundhouse.
	4:36am Jay/London: @ Fran I am sure I know a few friends over there in new york and north caroline
	4:37am P-90: Debbie Harry sings an ode to Houdini? I'm there!
	4:37am coalhard: Thanks for the music Bill outstanding show but I have to make like a fetus and head out love ya!!!!
	4:38am Brian in UK: BILL, YOU HAVE MAKE AN OLD MAN HAPPY WITH ACKLES. MY FAVOURITE.
	4:38am Bill Mac: Later on Coal - stay sane!
	4:40am Bill Mac: No kidding Brian - I wasn't sure what to make of him, but this is cool and will definitely compliment the next tune on the docket
	4:40am Fran: Ackles is great indeed - I remember Elton John enthusing over him on one of those Elvis Costello Spectacle interviews - which renewed some respect for Elton in me after his years of Tiara's and Tantrums!
	4:41am Brian in UK: I proposed to my wife to his song, House Above the Strand on his fourth album. Enough information.
	4:42am Bill Mac: Fran Elton doesn't bother me much anymore, but remember when he was kinda cool, for like a minute back in the beginning?
	4:43am Brian in UK: Fran never cared for Elton's music, always loved the fact thet he was a music FAN.
	4:45am Bill Mac: Lovely story Brian - glad I hit the nail on the head
	4:45am P-90: Elton was cool for a couple of years in the early 70s
	4:46am marmalade kitty: Any Roy Harper, Bill?
	4:47am Bill Mac: @Kitty - for you kitty I'll see what I can do. I got another request that might lean up against that rather nicely.
	4:47am Bill Mac: @P-90 Honky Chateau methinks
	4:48am Jay/London: @ P-90 when he played with John Lennon and when he was in the film Tommy he was coolish
	4:48am Fran: Same with me Bill - he had some excellent material early on - turned into a ridiculous circus act and then has redeemed his credibility although I'm passive about his material. But as Brian says he is a real fan and that commands respect. Its odd but there is a clutch of 70s singer songwriters who are dismissed as cheese but if you delve into their (usually earlier) catalogues there is often more than the odd flash of genius which has been overlooked unfairly due to cheese or pop hit moments - classic case is Gilbert O'Sullivan
	4:50am KP: Ok, Esquivel Infinity in Sound Vols 1-2 have been added to party list. Any other random suggestions for this swanky soiree?
	4:50am marmalade kitty: I draw a line at gilbert o'sullivan.. LOL
	4:51am Stanley: Elton Bog cool? Yeah, like 'for a minute' - nice one Bill. For me, he sorted the sheep from the goats back in the day (Ps proud to be a goat!)
	4:51am Fran: KP - Astrud Gilberto, Jobim - brazilian end of light?
	4:51am Guido from Cologne: This is cool! What does entry **** (new/special9 mean?
	4:51am KP: Elton john's early stuff can get epic. Some song about NY?
	4:52am P-90: Those of us old enough to remember those ancient days when Elton was cool also remember that that it was really the duo of Elton and Bernie Taupin that was cool...
	4:52am Brian in UK: The song Talking Old Soldiers on Tumbleweed Connection is dedicated to David (Ackles)
	4:52am Bill Mac: @Guido - must be an extry special recording - wonder how that happened.
	4:53am Fran: Marmalade Kitty - you do need to look beyond the cheese with GO'S - you'll find reissues of his older albums reviewed more fairly based on their merits i.e. if no one told you it was him you would never guess
	4:53am Brian in UK: @P-90 Is there a better song than Lady Samantha?
	4:53am Stanley: @MK - try listening to Uncle Michael's show, where there are no guilty secrets. Makes me face up to my inner Sullivans
	4:54am Brian in UK: Gilbert's last drummer before he sadly died Roly Kerridge also drummed on More Kante's Yeke Yeke.
	4:55am KP: Mona Lisa & Mad Hatters is the one i was thinking of, i think
	4:55am Fran: There should be no guilty secrets around music - remembering that Esquivel was your parents muzak and at 18 you would never admit to liking that but in this revisionist world it is all now super cool and visionary!
	4:56am P-90: "Lady Samantha"1 That's going WAY back. Cool early single, I don't think anyone in America heard it until Elton became well known a few years later.
	4:57am Brian in UK: Still find James Last & Bert Kamfart hard to listen to.
	4:57am KP: Sad thing is Fran, i have some of this stuff but since we moved to apartment and it's all buried, not that wasnt buried when we lived in suburbs
	4:59am Stanley: @ Brian - Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass?
	4:59am Brian in UK: Stanley, at least Herb co-founded A&M with Jerry Moss.
	5:00am KP: Fran im so revisionist i have Space Age Bachelor Music somewhere. i hated it when i bought it but now that im old it seems like good choice for party. But i cant find it in this mess. Also when you have a party you (I) hide everything.
	5:00am P-90: And of course WFMU stalwart Irwin Chusid was instrumental in sparking the Esquivel revival in the 90s.
	5:00am Fran: Shame KP!
	5:01am Fran: I hide things too KP - wise!
	5:01am KP: Draw line @ Herb Alpert
	5:02am Brian in UK: .....and Phil Ochs recorded on A&M.
	5:02am Guido from Cologne: I was so happy in the early 90ies, that finally i was able to confess that I love easy listening.
	5:02am Stanley: Thinking about it, I like all music except the stuff that's played on the radio. What am I saying??
	5:02am KP: Was he P-90? One of the guests got to know Irwin through Irwin's most recent project.
	5:02am marmalade kitty: Gilbert o'sullivan screwed his manager out of millions apparently. It's usually the other way.. well done! :/
	5:03am Fran: Gilbert O' Sullivan and Allen Klein.....never seen together in the same room?
	5:03am Stanley: Herb Alpert and his Marijuana Grass - one for our friend.
	5:03am Rectitude: Kp at the party www.youtube.com...
	5:03am KP: i thought it was Saukerkraut and Other delights. THAT one will be played at party
	5:04am marmalade kitty: aaaaahhhdon't do it
	5:04am Fran: DON'T PLAY A HIT BILL - THAT'S THE GILBERT POINT!!!!
	5:04am KP: A&M signed the Flying Burrito Brothers!
	5:04am Guido from Cologne: I loved "manuel and his music from the mauntains", UK-Exotica. I was so proud to own "real adult" LPs !
	5:04am Brian in UK: Spanish Fly was a favourite.
	5:05am Fran: A&M also signed Styx!
	5:05am marmalade kitty: :)
	5:05am KP: it's come lately that woman on cover of Whipped Cream was pregnant, naturally enhanced.
	5:06am Brian in UK: @KP I have NEVER liked the mix on the first Burritos. Could have been so much better. Any thoughts?
	5:07am Bill Mac: @Brian Spanish Flea.... @Fran Styx - auuuugh - uhLaaaadehhh! (that's 'Lady' - pardon my phonetics)
	5:07am KP: Ok fran now checking into Asrtrud. Any recommends? Thanks.
	5:09am Fran: Babe by Styx is possibly the worst Hair Rock Ballad ever!
	5:09am Guido from Cologne: I have a cool version of spanish fly
	5:10am P-90: KP: If you're playing all that stuff you could throw in some Dave Brubeck too
	5:10am Brian in UK: Overtaken by viagra these days.
	5:10am Bill Mac: Should at least keep you from tipping over
	5:11am Fran: The compilation album, This Is Astrud Gilberto is a collection of lovely stuff?
	5:11am Brian in UK: What's happened to Spizz Energi?
	5:11am Fran: Or Athletico Spizz 80 or Spizz Oil??
	5:12am Brian in UK: Was there an Olympic Spizz?
	5:13am Brian in UK: Stanley, have you been eating your greens?
	5:14am Guido from Cologne: Spizz re-emerged in the late 90ies or early 00s. Playing shows as well.
	5:14am KP: Dave Brubeck is a little played out in NY. Also staying away from straight jazz just to infuriate a jazz guy who will be there.
	5:15am Stanley: Eating my greens? I've started to wearing them!
	5:16am Stanley: This show lacks a bit a bit of reggae in my opinion. Bill man - where you gonna run to?
	5:16am Brian in UK: Will you be voting next month?
	5:17am Fran: I'm all out of Spizz with those...
	5:17am Brian in UK: Keith Hudson DUB.
	5:17am Stanley: Of course, man! Where on this planet do people get a chance like this?
	5:18am Guido from Cologne: It took me years to understand that thing about the Spizz-names . Have the Atletico (0 LP but needed the singles.
	5:19am Fran: Some reggae - Prince Gilbert and The Do Wakka Doo Wakka Day Sound System?
	5:20am Fran: Spizz's Where's Captain Kirk was one of my schoolboy classics!
	5:21am Stanley: Prince Gilbert and O-Sullivaaaans
	5:21am Fran: Gilbert - Riddim Go Farward!!!
	5:22am Guido from Cologne: "Captain kirk" is a killer! I once recorded "Soldier" from the radio and loved it so much but never could find it. Nver got the things together. Not before the retrospective comp came out.
	5:23am Fran: Spizz does the occasional tour still I think - pretty certain I saw him listed a while back?
	5:24am Guido from Cologne: @TK Put some Tito Puente. Allways works and is very NY.
	5:24am Brian in UK: Jenny Lewis is doing a second show. Yipeee.
	5:25am Fran: Your luck is in Brian!
	5:25am Sem Chumbo: Hahaha. Gilbert! Music at this morning's market is a Toad the Wet Sproket tribute band. Can't wait. Gotta go and make some more friends of Bill W. now, Bill M. Crushingly good show this morning! See you, and all, next time, insha'allah.
	5:26am marmalade kitty: The off-off beat
	5:26am Stanley: Oh man here e com agen!
	5:26am Fran: Toad The Wet Sprocket - ha! Tygers of Pan Tang next!!!
	5:27am Guido from Cologne: @Bill Your CD-skipping is on the air! hear some Gilbert'o'Sullivan mixed in or is it intentional?
	5:27am Brian in UK: Chin chin, Sem. Havn't got round to playing Rob's premium, will need a bit of a runup. Dumpy's Rusty Nuts anyone?
	5:27am Stanley: A Toad tribute band - ha! Enjoy Sem and see ya next time.
	5:28am Brian in UK: Blew me away when I discovered there was a Rutles tribute band.
	5:28am Fran: Thank you Bill for playing one of my all time heroes the much missed Mr Kevin Coyne
	5:29am Brian in UK: Bill, another hospital work in Mr Coyne.
	5:29am KP: Ok FRan. Astrud and Jobim on board. Have a LOT of french stuff on list so this balances out
	5:29am Fran: I think the Tygers of Pan Tang might pose as their own tribute band in the hope they would get a bigger crowd!
	5:29am Bill Mac: Later Sem!
	5:30am Fran: Excellent KP - cocktail sticks and groovy tracks all ready then!
	5:31am Stanley: @Brian - Anvil! That's what I crave.
	5:32am KP: The North Country Far? UK people dont speak good English like us New Yawkers
	5:32am Brian in UK: Stanley the Blacksmith. Sweat dripping as he forges the metal. Ha.
	5:33am Fran: All those New Wave Of British Heavy Metal Bands who are no more - Samson, Diamond Head, Witchfynde etc - as touted by Kerrappp! magazine...that's what I want!
	5:33am Stanley: Metal on metal, Brian,
	5:34am Brian in UK: More leatherette on polstyrene meself.
	5:34am Stanley: Anyone else see Roy Harper at Knebworth?
	5:34am Fran: Back to Cliff Richard again Brian.......
	5:35am Brian in UK: Bill, I was humming the Last Day of June from this album last week. The day that Ernst Roehm died.
	5:36am Fran: Only seen Harper in the 90's onwards - last years show with strings was sublime stuff!
	5:37am Stanley: Brian - is Watford Gap still there?
	5:37am Brian in UK: A song for each decade of the last century. Surpassing yourself today.
	5:38am Brian in UK: Yes Stanley but it is in Northamptonshire.
	5:38am Bill Mac: I remember some of the tunes on this album very clearly. My friend got a wild hair up his ass for Nostradamus. This was a big deal album back in 73 I think. I was gonna play Love Chronicles. Yeah man, I agree. We got a golden pickle here today.
	5:39am Stanley: Good, I'll make a pilgrimage to there one day.
	5:40am Brian in UK: Got to do it at three in the morning in a rusty Transit.
	5:40am Stanley: A lot on my life was spent hanging there with my thumb out!
	5:41am Stanley: A rusty transit - perfect (whips out destination sign and prays...... please, please)
	5:41am Brian in UK: When do you ever see hitchikers these days?
	5:44am marmalade kitty: Thanks Bill.
	5:45am Stanley: Cheap travel killed off a way of life, Brian.
	5:47am Bill Mac: No problem Kitty. A nice request for sure.
	5:47am Fran: and Rutger Hauer Stanley!
	5:47am Brian in UK: People do not have the time to stop. When I was riding my motorbike and had the chain snap, two guys in a car took me to the local bike shop to get a new one and dropped me back. This was in '69, unlikely to happen today.
	5:48am KP: Got 25 hours of music(?) for playlist, including some inspired by Bill and commentators here tonight! Thanks. And see youse!
	5:48am Fran: Enjoy and endure KP
	5:49am Brian in UK: Cheers KP. Fabulous show, Bill. Same time next week?

	5:50am Jay/London: thanks bill hope to see you in New York
	5:51am Stanley: @Fran - ha ha. I remember reading a book about aliens picking up hitchers and fattening them up in underground byres to be eaten like cattle. Forgot the title.
	5:52am Bill Mac: Hopefully it'll be soon Jay!
	5:52am Stanley: Bert!!!
	5:53am Jay/London: indeed July me thinks Bill

	5:55am Fran: Brian - the new Peel Acres?
	5:55am Bill Mac: I wonder how that's done... I know it's doable... if that's the case, you kin do the spinning.
