	3:03pm Carmichael: Hey dere, Koit, common, Donna ...
	♥ 3:04pm DCE: my radio?
	♥ 3:05pm Webhamster Henry: I wonder if singles going steady includes 12" singles? and cassingles?
	3:06pm northguineahills: Man, a classic from 2012, this track has never been played enough!
	3:06pm Carmichael: Someone pass this guy a kutchie on the left hand side.
	3:07pm JakeGould: This Macka B is great.
	3:08pm kirk from beer city usa: good advice!
	3:09pm Cheri Pi: This could be a vintage song if he hadn't said "internet"
	3:10pm northguineahills: ...or laptop, or cd....
	♥ 3:10pm ironybread: That was the best DJ on-air patter ever.
	♥ 3:11pm Sem Chumbo: "He drinks his age in pints." Oh, oh.
	♥ 3:11pm SeanG: Pledge Pledge PLEDGE! or Die!
	3:12pm northguineahills: I never listen to WFMU on Sunday mornings, but for some reason Jeff Sarge was djing in my dream last night.
	3:12pm northguineahills: (sort of soundtracking it, not appearing in person).
	3:12pm Cheri Pi: eggzactly NGH
	♥ 3:12pm Caryn: Hello all!
	♥ 3:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: @ngh - At first glance, I though you wrote "dying," and I was all "What the?"
	3:18pm Kurt Gottschalk: hey everyone! whamster, it's supposed to be all 7"s, and so it shall.
	3:19pm Cecile: hola
	3:21pm Cheri Pi: Fatty Bloodblister!
	3:21pm Dean: Hoping against hope there's a 7" of Heptones' "Book of Rules"...
	3:21pm Cheri Pi: I'm jealous of this 7" Kurt.
	3:22pm Kurt Gottschalk: cheri pi, clear vinyl!
	3:23pm Cheri Pi: No way!!
	3:23pm northguineahills: @Webhamster Henry:WFMU should have a cassingliscious week!
	3:24pm Kurt Gottschalk: absolutely, ngh!
	♥ 3:26pm Webhamster Henry: Maybe if there's another 1 minute marathon!
	3:29pm northguineahills: Good news: The State of New York Dept of Taxing and Finance unfroze my checking account. Bad News: They took all of my money. For my wife's visa requirement, we had to open a joint account, and to prove to the dept of homeland security that we aren't welfare cases, she put $10k of her money in our account. This drew flag w/ the taxing dept, b/c it made it look like I had money when I signed an agreement that I'm unemployed w/ a minimal amount of means to pay my debt. So, I was working w/ a payment plan after I dropped a $1k down payment last July. They initially took $7k from our j oint account, but after proving to them it was her money, they gave it back. Crazy month. Hopefully good news: I nailed a final interview for a job I actually want here in the City w/ only two other candidates.
	3:30pm Kevlicki: I'll have to go back and listen to the Macka B track! One summer I spent many hours listening to a cassette of his, since it was the only one we could play in the car. I remember an amusing song 9 months of Pregnancy and another of his offense towards Hollywood "it makes me mad, when they try to make Rasta look bad", a true earworm
	♥ 3:33pm Stevel: NGH: Ain't love grand? Government, too. Hoping this means you are moving forward with things. Break a leg re. the job interview.
	3:35pm kwhitehead: The Table!? Never heard 'em but am greatly intrigued.
	♥ 3:36pm Caryn: Keeping my fingers crossed, ngh!
	3:38pm northguineahills: danke Stevel & Caryn!
	3:39pm Grok-o-matic: Yes, Joy Division!!!
	3:39pm Cheri Pi: That's crazy NGH! How did you survive w/o $?
	3:40pm northguineahills: The lesson, make sure your job takes out state taxes and make sure when you use an online site to file your taxes, call the respective agencies to make sure they received it (this dates back to 2007-2009. @Cheri Pi: I borrowed from friends, and now I'm liquidating my retirement fund.
	3:42pm Cheri Pi: get that job NGH, I hope you can build up your retirement again, that's no joke.
	3:43pm northguineahills: I was going to take a job outside the City, but I have to stay in the City until my wife's visa goes through, so, this new opportunity couldn't come at a better time.
	3:43pm dug: hellloooooo VICE CITY!
	♥ 3:43pm common: wish i had a retirement fund. anyone need an assistant yet?
	3:44pm northguineahills: lutlz, dug.
	3:44pm GeesyCreesy: @dug- Seconding those Vice City flashbacks.
	♥ 3:44pm Caryn: Right now, looking at retirement, I'm gonna be getting about 25 euros a month. Not an ideal situation.
	3:45pm Cecile: that sucks NGH. That's a big reason why I'm slowly transitioning to a different career - good (and hard earned/fought) retirement benefits.
	3:45pm Dorkus Mallorcus: I've heard of lame excuses to not pledge, but this one takes the cake!
	3:48pm Dean: The retirement situation in the US started sucking approximately when defined benefit plans gave way to defined contribution, a.k.a. every man and woman for his/herself. (Set aside the fact that some DB plans are abysmally mismanaged.) Planning for retirement is not easy! http://bipartisanpolicy.org/library/report/retirement-security-personal-savings
	♥ 3:50pm SeanG: YEAH
	3:53pm kirk from beer city usa: keep it up, kurt!
	♥ 3:54pm Sem Chumbo: The 'cocks! What a run of spins. Great!
	3:55pm Dean: Soundtrack to my 'teens, these tunes.
	3:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Retirement is not an option here. I will work, then I will die. Ain't that america.
	3:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: and boo for missing Mr.Foxx up there.
	3:57pm dinatekno: Wow, I am back in HS listening to this set. Flashbacks....fantastic!
	3:59pm northguineahills: Well, I already dipped into my retirement fund before, so, this is the last of it. Is that sun I detect outside? I'm scared, I think that's sunlight.
	4:00pm Dean: "Anarchy in the U.K." was out before Spiral Scratch.
	4:00pm JakeGould: Donna Summer reminds me of Donna Summer Day Camp. AKA: Me going to day camp in the summer & counsellors listening to Donna Summer.
	4:01pm Ray: That was genius set. Do u have all those records in 45s? Man, I freaking envy you.
	4:02pm northguineahills: If I get this job, I will be employed by the City, so I'll have job security. Sick of 6 month subcontracting jobs w/ no benefits.
	4:02pm Dean: And I believe The Damned's "New Rose" preceded "Anarchy."
	4:04pm Cheri Pi: haven't heard this Lene song since the 80's
	4:05pm Kurt Gottschalk: yr right dean, it was the damned.
	4:07pm Dean: I visited London late that year, '76. I'll never forget hearing Blondie's first album at the Virgin Records shop across from Hyde Park Corner and purchasing "Anarchy" from a rack at some drug store.
	4:19pm Ray: KB EXCELLENT
	4:19pm Cecile: so does the incognito wife start breaking plates over her husband's head then? I guess I am not following the story real well here.
	4:19pm Kurt Gottschalk: i was in london when freddie mercury died. overnight everyone was selling freddie posters. JEWELRY STORES were selling freddie posters.
	4:21pm conkrete_dawg: gawd, this is pretenders? i'm getting schooled today...
	♥ 4:23pm Sem Chumbo: There's no quit in this show. The Blockheads! Outstanding show, Kurt. Clicky star for the whole thing. Thanks.
	♥ 4:24pm common: i'm following your lead, sem.
	4:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: thanks guys! i'm having a blast.
	4:26pm Cecile: wow, good tune,but the lyrics, Joe doesn't like anything fun.
	4:28pm Kurt Gottschalk: he at least doesn't like consumerism!
	4:30pm Cecile: he doesn't like anyone who isn't buying Joe Jackson records. hahahahhaa
	4:30pm luca: great mix kurt...ty
	4:30pm Dean: Was sorta hoping for EC's WSFAPL&U. But this'll do, despite my preference for Dave Edmunds' take.
	4:33pm Cecile: hahahaha, ITA Dean.
	4:35pm Cecile: I haz this single and it is awesome
	♥ 4:37pm Caryn: Such a gorgeous song, while managing to be deeply political.
	4:38pm Julie: is this new wave?
	4:39pm Andy in Berlin: I tuned in during Poly Styrene - I have to say you're on a roll...
	4:39pm Julie: aww I missed Kate & Siouxsie
	4:39pm Kurt Gottschalk: julie, i play kate bush every week.
	4:40pm Cecile: Julie- the pub rock side of it, sure
	4:40pm Julie: But I missed it today!
	♥ 4:42pm Stevel: Killer show!
	4:42pm dug: yeah! agreed, good set going on here.
	4:43pm Kurt Gottschalk: next week i'll play the kb you told me to, jb
	4:43pm Dean: You know, Hatfield & the North's "Your Majesty Is Like a Cream Donut" appeared on a 7". Just saying.
	4:44pm Kurt Gottschalk: thx stevel, dug and everyone
	4:47pm cee dubbles: Recog'd Henry Coward's voice and guitar from the laundry room - great track! GREAT SHOW! now I'm gonna put on my coolest corduroys, grab a handful of E and head over to the Haçienda
	4:48pm cee dubbles: Julie, Irene played 2 KB tunes inba row Monday
	4:49pm GeesyCreesy: This bed music remains very funny to me.
	4:50pm Julie: I love this song so much..at normal speed
	4:51pm Julie: Ran Tan Waltz is an interesting little tune
	4:55pm Cecile: now Tom is a BBC DJ, married with kids and a strong advocate for bisexual and gay rights.
	4:55pm Dean: Graham Parker hasn't stopped complaining. He appeared in Berkeley for a solo gig a few years ago. Between tunes he ranted about the unfairness of not being more financially successful, but also took to task fans of Squeezing Out Sparks, because it was too successful.
	4:56pm dug: Phil schaap!
	4:57pm Cecile: Dean, it was his best record. There was a reason, great production, and he had to toe the line.
	4:59pm Dean: Cecile, Agreed. I love that record, top to bottom. But he seems to resent that he peaked, in a way, way back then.
	5:00pm northguineahills: My favorite Eugene Chadbourne release was a cassette that came in an used unwashed gym sock.
	5:01pm Cecile: I can understand that, but by now you'd think he'd come to terms with it.
	♥ 5:01pm Guido from Cologne: 1976 !!! www.discogs.com...
	5:02pm Cecile: Yuss. Snakefinger!
	♥ 5:02pm Rick from SC: great tune
	5:02pm kirk from beer city usa: more ralph records! tuxedomoon! mx-80 sound!
	5:02pm kirk from beer city usa: (please)
	♥ 5:03pm Guido from Cologne: mx-80 sound "oh type" would be an idea
	♥ 5:04pm Rick from SC: hey kirk. Where is this "Beer City"
	5:04pm Kurt Gottschalk: i would love to see some more pledges during this show.
	5:04pm Dean: Yeah, maybe venting is his way of coming to terms. There's a record from the Berkeley show: http://www.grahamparker.net/FreightAndSalvage.html Notably, songs from SOS he performed -- "Discovering Japan," "Local Girls" -- do not appear. (But "Passion..." is there.) Also, I see there's a 6-CD box of live stuff with The Rumour! http://www.grahamparker.net/Official_Bootleg_Box.html
	5:05pm kirk from beer city usa: @rick: www.mlive.com...
	♥ 5:06pm Rick from SC: @kirk - good deal. I'm lucky enough to have visited Founders
	5:06pm Cecile: mx-80 someday you'll be king is also a good choice.
	5:09pm kirk from beer city usa: or flipper. or whatever you were gonna play. yes!
	5:10pm Cecile: those flipper singles. Man.
	♥ 5:13pm common: have good weekends everyone! thanks kurt! Beeeeeeersies!
	5:14pm northguineahills: laters common!
	5:15pm Cecile: I haz this one too.
	5:15pm Cecile: the reissue, that is
	5:16pm Dean: This single comes with a unique original pen-on-paper drawing.
	5:17pm Cecile: I think I sold this one for beer money
	♥ 5:17pm Sem Chumbo: See ya, common!
	5:18pm Fredericks: This stuff seems too energetic to be termed nostalgia.
	5:22pm Dean: So is the Donna Summer the only 12" single in the queue today?
	5:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: away for meeting, back in time for god-damned lovely VON LMO... haven't heard this single in ages. Bleshu.
	5:24pm kirk from beer city usa: holy shit, von lmo!
	5:26pm r i s k y: Go Kurt!
	5:28pm Kurt Gottschalk: donna summer is a 7" too, i just marked it as a 45 for some reason
	5:29pm Dean: I thought perhaps for two reasons.
	5:29pm Cecile: A 45 is usually a 7" isn't it?
	5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Speaking of Von - that Red Transistor single is definitely one of my two favorite singles of all time. Must go home & hug it in the manner of a creepy hug.
	5:30pm Dean: There are 12" 45s, although I'm at a loss just now to remember which ones are which.
	5:31pm Fredericks: Donna Summer sounds like Jerry Butler.
	5:32pm P-90: Donna Summer has a really lovely tenor voice at 33 rpm. Really.
	5:32pm Dean: So far, then, we've been treated to 24 feet, 6 inches of music, diametrically speaking.
	5:33pm rjk: Re bed music, when did Scott Walker record On the Radio?
	5:35pm Kevlicki: Kurt, I had that patch sewn to a hoodie I wore to school everyday, and eventually ended up on a pair of pants that I think I wore to death. That ran for nearly 4 years, and I still may have it in a box somewhere. The things I didn't let go of...
	5:35pm Dean: Bauhaus' "Third Uncle": 12", 45rpm
	5:39pm P-90: Dean: There's an idea: next year there could be a "Singles-o-meter" feature, a little widget on the playlist pages showing the cumulative linear length of singles played during the week...
	5:41pm Dean: A marvel it would be, especially if it tracked the extent of the spiral scratch (to allude to an earlier playlist item), rather than the disk diameters.
	5:41pm P-90: ...and with a metric conversion for our friends all over the world
	♥ 5:42pm paul b: I did grow up in the Boston Area: Plymouth & Holliston (DC area now). This rambling version of Roadrunner is the just bomb AND IT IS TALKING TO ME!
	5:42pm P-90: Is there a standard "groove length" for discs of different diameters at different speeds?
	5:46pm Dean: I have no basis other than intuition for an opinion, but it seems to me there's probably an average groove length that's good enough for a fair approximation. But differences in mastering and playing time would cause serious deviations. Nels Cline and Mike Watt are in the middle of this mess.
	5:47pm Cecile: I have this single as well.
	5:50pm Cecile: I have this one, too.
	♥ 5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Home from Werk ; Robyn does Syd ! - ✔
	♥ 5:54pm Sem Chumbo: Whew, Kurt. Take the weekend off, I am after this. Later!
	5:54pm Joe McG: Fun show, Kurt! Give me all of these 45s!
	5:55pm Kurt Gottschalk: okay, joe
	5:55pm Joe McG: Thanks!
	5:55pm Kurt Gottschalk: leaving in your mailbox, k? thx
	5:56pm P-90: Most of the listeners right now were born after the last time America was "confident". Mebbe 1948 or so..
	5:56pm northguineahills: Wow, thanks for the tour de force, Kurt, have a great weekend everyone!
	5:57pm Cecile: no, it was from Moby Grape.
	♥ 5:58pm Caryn: Fabulous show, Kurt! Was starred very early on.
	♥ 6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...catching up - too late ...it took forever for the Pistols to get their album out (like the Velvet Underground long before them) ...Jayzus ngh - the Government ! : God & Goddess Bless...
	♥ 6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& TheClash after them...

For my wife's visa requirement, we had to open a joint account, and to prove to the dept of homeland security that we aren't welfare cases, she put $10k of her money in our account. This drew flag w/ the taxing dept, b/c it made it look like I had money when I signed an agreement that I'm unemployed w/ a minimal amount of means to pay my debt. So, I was working w/ a payment plan after I dropped a $1k down payment last July. They initially took $7k from our j oint account, but after proving to them it was her money, they gave it back. Crazy month. Hopefully good news: I nailed a final interview for a job I actually want here in the City w/ only two other candidates.
	3:30pm Kevlicki: I'll have to go back and listen to the Macka B track! One summer I spent many hours listening to a cassette of his, since it was the only one we could play in the car. I remember an amusing song 9 months of Pregnancy and another of his offense towards Hollywood "it makes me mad, when they try to make Rasta look bad", a true earworm
	♥ 3:33pm Stevel: NGH: Ain't love grand? Government, too. Hoping this means you are moving forward with things. Break a leg re. the job interview.
	3:35pm kwhitehead: The Table!? Never heard 'em but am greatly intrigued.
	♥ 3:36pm Caryn: Keeping my fingers crossed, ngh!
	3:38pm northguineahills: danke Stevel & Caryn!
	3:39pm Grok-o-matic: Yes, Joy Division!!!
	3:39pm Cheri Pi: That's crazy NGH! How did you survive w/o $?
	3:40pm northguineahills: The lesson, make sure your job takes out state taxes and make sure when you use an online site to file your taxes, call the respective agencies to make sure they received it (this dates back to 2007-2009. @Cheri Pi: I borrowed from friends, and now I'm liquidating my retirement fund.
	3:42pm Cheri Pi: get that job NGH, I hope you can build up your retirement again, that's no joke.
	3:43pm northguineahills: I was going to take a job outside the City, but I have to stay in the City until my wife's visa goes through, so, this new opportunity couldn't come at a better time.
	3:43pm dug: hellloooooo VICE CITY!
	♥ 3:43pm common: wish i had a retirement fund. anyone need an assistant yet?
	3:44pm northguineahills: lutlz, dug.
	3:44pm GeesyCreesy: @dug- Seconding those Vice City flashbacks.
	♥ 3:44pm Caryn: Right now, looking at retirement, I'm gonna be getting about 25 euros a month. Not an ideal situation.
	3:45pm Cecile: that sucks NGH. That's a big reason why I'm slowly transitioning to a different career - good (and hard earned/fought) retirement benefits.
	3:45pm Dorkus Mallorcus: I've heard of lame excuses to not pledge, but this one takes the cake!
	3:48pm Dean: The retirement situation in the US started sucking approximately when defined benefit plans gave way to defined contribution, a.k.a. every man and woman for his/herself. (Set aside the fact that some DB plans are abysmally mismanaged.) Planning for retirement is not easy! http://bipartisanpolicy.org/library/report/retirement-security-personal-savings
	♥ 3:50pm SeanG: YEAH
	3:53pm kirk from beer city usa: keep it up, kurt!
	♥ 3:54pm Sem Chumbo: The 'cocks! What a run of spins. Great!
	3:55pm Dean: Soundtrack to my 'teens, these tunes.
	3:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Retirement is not an option here. I will work, then I will die. Ain't that america.
	3:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: and boo for missing Mr.Foxx up there.
	3:57pm dinatekno: Wow, I am back in HS listening to this set. Flashbacks....fantastic!
	3:59pm northguineahills: Well, I already dipped into my retirement fund before, so, this is the last of it. Is that sun I detect outside? I'm scared, I think that's sunlight.
	4:00pm Dean: "Anarchy in the U.K." was out before Spiral Scratch.
	4:00pm JakeGould: Donna Summer reminds me of Donna Summer Day Camp. AKA: Me going to day camp in the summer & counsellors listening to Donna Summer.
	4:01pm Ray: That was genius set. Do u have all those records in 45s? Man, I freaking envy you.
	4:02pm northguineahills: If I get this job, I will be employed by the City, so I'll have job security. Sick of 6 month subcontracting jobs w/ no benefits.
	4:02pm Dean: And I believe The Damned's "New Rose" preceded "Anarchy."
	4:04pm Cheri Pi: haven't heard this Lene song since the 80's
	4:05pm Kurt Gottschalk: yr right dean, it was the damned.
	4:07pm Dean: I visited London late that year, '76. I'll never forget hearing Blondie's first album at the Virgin Records shop across from Hyde Park Corner and purchasing "Anarchy" from a rack at some drug store.
	4:19pm Ray: KB EXCELLENT
	4:19pm Cecile: so does the incognito wife start breaking plates over her husband's head then? I guess I am not following the story real well here.
	4:19pm Kurt Gottschalk: i was in london when freddie mercury died. overnight everyone was selling freddie posters. JEWELRY STORES were selling freddie posters.
	4:21pm conkrete_dawg: gawd, this is pretenders? i'm getting schooled today...
	♥ 4:23pm Sem Chumbo: There's no quit in this show. The Blockheads! Outstanding show, Kurt. Clicky star for the whole thing. Thanks.
	♥ 4:24pm common: i'm following your lead, sem.
	4:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: thanks guys! i'm having a blast.
	4:26pm Cecile: wow, good tune,but the lyrics, Joe doesn't like anything fun.
	4:28pm Kurt Gottschalk: he at least doesn't like consumerism!
	4:30pm Cecile: he doesn't like anyone who isn't buying Joe Jackson records. hahahahhaa
	4:30pm luca: great mix kurt...ty
	4:30pm Dean: Was sorta hoping for EC's WSFAPL&U. But this'll do, despite my preference for Dave Edmunds' take.
	4:33pm Cecile: hahahaha, ITA Dean.
	4:35pm Cecile: I haz this single and it is awesome
	♥ 4:37pm Caryn: Such a gorgeous song, while managing to be deeply political.
	4:38pm Julie: is this new wave?
	4:39pm Andy in Berlin: I tuned in during Poly Styrene - I have to say you're on a roll...
	4:39pm Julie: aww I missed Kate & Siouxsie
	4:39pm Kurt Gottschalk: julie, i play kate bush every week.
	4:40pm Cecile: Julie- the pub rock side of it, sure
	4:40pm Julie: But I missed it today!
	♥ 4:42pm Stevel: Killer show!
	4:42pm dug: yeah! agreed, good set going on here.
	4:43pm Kurt Gottschalk: next week i'll play the kb you told me to, jb
	4:43pm Dean: You know, Hatfield & the North's "Your Majesty Is Like a Cream Donut" appeared on a 7". Just saying.
	4:44pm Kurt Gottschalk: thx stevel, dug and everyone
	4:47pm cee dubbles: Recog'd Henry Coward's voice and guitar from the laundry room - great track! GREAT SHOW! now I'm gonna put on my coolest corduroys, grab a handful of E and head over to the Haçienda
	4:48pm cee dubbles: Julie, Irene played 2 KB tunes inba row Monday
	4:49pm GeesyCreesy: This bed music remains very funny to me.
	4:50pm Julie: I love this song so much..at normal speed
	4:51pm Julie: Ran Tan Waltz is an interesting little tune
	4:55pm Cecile: now Tom is a BBC DJ, married with kids and a strong advocate for bisexual and gay rights.
	4:55pm Dean: Graham Parker hasn't stopped complaining. He appeared in Berkeley for a solo gig a few years ago. Between tunes he ranted about the unfairness of not being more financially successful, but also took to task fans of Squeezing Out Sparks, because it was too successful.
	4:56pm dug: Phil schaap!
	4:57pm Cecile: Dean, it was his best record. There was a reason, great production, and he had to toe the line.
	4:59pm Dean: Cecile, Agreed. I love that record, top to bottom. But he seems to resent that he peaked, in a way, way back then.
	5:00pm northguineahills: My favorite Eugene Chadbourne release was a cassette that came in an used unwashed gym sock.
	5:01pm Cecile: I can understand that, but by now you'd think he'd come to terms with it.
	♥ 5:01pm Guido from Cologne: 1976 !!! www.discogs.com...
	5:02pm Cecile: Yuss. Snakefinger!
	♥ 5:02pm Rick from SC: great tune
	5:02pm kirk from beer city usa: more ralph records! tuxedomoon! mx-80 sound!
	5:02pm kirk from beer city usa: (please)
	♥ 5:03pm Guido from Cologne: mx-80 sound "oh type" would be an idea
	♥ 5:04pm Rick from SC: hey kirk. Where is this "Beer City"
	5:04pm Kurt Gottschalk: i would love to see some more pledges during this show.
	5:04pm Dean: Yeah, maybe venting is his way of coming to terms. There's a record from the Berkeley show: http://www.grahamparker.net/FreightAndSalvage.html Notably, songs from SOS he performed -- "Discovering Japan," "Local Girls" -- do not appear. (But "Passion..." is there.) Also, I see there's a 6-CD box of live stuff with The Rumour! http://www.grahamparker.net/Official_Bootleg_Box.html
	5:05pm kirk from beer city usa: @rick: www.mlive.com...
	♥ 5:06pm Rick from SC: @kirk - good deal. I'm lucky enough to have visited Founders
	5:06pm Cecile: mx-80 someday you'll be king is also a good choice.
	5:09pm kirk from beer city usa: or flipper. or whatever you were gonna play. yes!
	5:10pm Cecile: those flipper singles. Man.
	♥ 5:13pm common: have good weekends everyone! thanks kurt! Beeeeeeersies!
	5:14pm northguineahills: laters common!
	5:15pm Cecile: I haz this one too.
	5:15pm Cecile: the reissue, that is
	5:16pm Dean: This single comes with a unique original pen-on-paper drawing.
	5:17pm Cecile: I think I sold this one for beer money
	♥ 5:17pm Sem Chumbo: See ya, common!
	5:18pm Fredericks: This stuff seems too energetic to be termed nostalgia.
	5:22pm Dean: So is the Donna Summer the only 12" single in the queue today?
	5:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: away for meeting, back in time for god-damned lovely VON LMO... haven't heard this single in ages. Bleshu.
	5:24pm kirk from beer city usa: holy shit, von lmo!
	5:26pm r i s k y: Go Kurt!
	5:28pm Kurt Gottschalk: donna summer is a 7" too, i just marked it as a 45 for some reason
	5:29pm Dean: I thought perhaps for two reasons.
	5:29pm Cecile: A 45 is usually a 7" isn't it?
	5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Speaking of Von - that Red Transistor single is definitely one of my two favorite singles of all time. Must go home & hug it in the manner of a creepy hug.
	5:30pm Dean: There are 12" 45s, although I'm at a loss just now to remember which ones are which.
	5:31pm Fredericks: Donna Summer sounds like Jerry Butler.
	5:32pm P-90: Donna Summer has a really lovely tenor voice at 33 rpm. Really.
	5:32pm Dean: So far, then, we've been treated to 24 feet, 6 inches of music, diametrically speaking.
	5:33pm rjk: Re bed music, when did Scott Walker record On the Radio?
	5:35pm Kevlicki: Kurt, I had that patch sewn to a hoodie I wore to school everyday, and eventually ended up on a pair of pants that I think I wore to death. That ran for nearly 4 years, and I still may have it in a box somewhere. The things I didn't let go of...
	5:35pm Dean: Bauhaus' "Third Uncle": 12", 45rpm
	5:39pm P-90: Dean: There's an idea: next year there could be a "Singles-o-meter" feature, a little widget on the playlist pages showing the cumulative linear length of singles played during the week...
	5:41pm Dean: A marvel it would be, especially if it tracked the extent of the spiral scratch (to allude to an earlier playlist item), rather than the disk diameters.
	5:41pm P-90: ...and with a metric conversion for our friends all over the world
	♥ 5:42pm paul b: I did grow up in the Boston Area: Plymouth & Holliston (DC area now). This rambling version of Roadrunner is the just bomb AND IT IS TALKING TO ME!
	5:42pm P-90: Is there a standard "groove length" for discs of different diameters at different speeds?
	5:46pm Dean: I have no basis other than intuition for an opinion, but it seems to me there's probably an average groove length that's good enough for a fair approximation. But differences in mastering and playing time would cause serious deviations. Nels Cline and Mike Watt are in the middle of this mess.
	5:47pm Cecile: I have this single as well.
	5:50pm Cecile: I have this one, too.
	♥ 5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Home from Werk ; Robyn does Syd ! - ✔
	♥ 5:54pm Sem Chumbo: Whew, Kurt. Take the weekend off, I am after this. Later!
	5:54pm Joe McG: Fun show, Kurt! Give me all of these 45s!
	5:55pm Kurt Gottschalk: okay, joe
	5:55pm Joe McG: Thanks!
	5:55pm Kurt Gottschalk: leaving in your mailbox, k? thx
	5:56pm P-90: Most of the listeners right now were born after the last time America was "confident". Mebbe 1948 or so..
	5:56pm northguineahills: Wow, thanks for the tour de force, Kurt, have a great weekend everyone!
	5:57pm Cecile: no, it was from Moby Grape.
	♥ 5:58pm Caryn: Fabulous show, Kurt! Was starred very early on.
	♥ 6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...catching up - too late ...it took forever for the Pistols to get their album out (like the Velvet Underground long before them) ...Jayzus ngh - the Government ! : God & Goddess Bless...
	♥ 6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& TheClash after them...
