	♥ 9:19am Marcel M: Hey Sem! Happy Monday
	♥ 9:20am Liz Berg: Did anyone see any good Halloween costumes over the weekend?
	♥ 9:22am Liz Berg: I saw the Ebola virus, an aging boy band star, Snoopy, Big Bird...
	9:22am Kevlicki: I spent my Halloween at home, for the first time it think, ever
	9:23am Kevlicki: I saw some flocks of good face painted day if the dead skeletons
	9:23am Kevlicki: Flicks, not flocks
	♥ 9:24am Liz Berg: Bob Ross, too!
	9:24am sugarwolf: I saw a lot of Elsas and pirates. Also saw a hot dog, a taco, the 11th Doctor, and super cute little penguin.
	9:25am sugarwolf: Oh I saw a Peter Pan, and I think Captain Hook.
	♥ 9:25am Liz Berg: Also, just learned of this "Trunk or Treat" phenomenon, for which I must voice some hearty disapproval.
	9:26am sugarwolf: My local state assemblyman posted a pic online of him participating in Trunk or Treat.
	♥ 9:26am Sem Chumbo: Saw a mother carrying a kid in a snugglie: the snugglie was a fixed up like a movie popcorn box and the kid was wearing a popcorn hat. Hilarious.
	♥ 9:26am Marcel M: I stayed home on Halloween and watched many a Simpson's Halloween special and ate pumpkin pie and candy. It was glorious.
	9:27am Kevlicki: What's trunk or treat?
	9:27am sugarwolf: One of the cutest costumes I have seen was a little girl as Mary Poppins and her parents as chimney sweeps.
	♥ 9:28am common: i saw a little kid dressed up as a mad butcher doctor. it was pretty creepy.
	9:28am sugarwolf: I was a Manic Pixie Dream Crone for Halloween
	♥ 9:29am Liz Berg: Trunk or Treat is when a bunch of people park their cars in a lot, decorate their open trunks, and hand out candy to kids who are dressed up. What's wrong with door-to-door trick-or-treating?! adventuresofadomesticengineer.files.wordpress.com...
	9:32am Kevlicki: Wow is this a practice post foreclosure-housing crisis-recession treating?
	9:34am KP: Liz that sounds suspicious, but it is Halloween
	♥ 9:34am Liz Berg: I blame the tailgaters for Trunk or Treat.
	♥ 9:36am Artie: I spotted an Andorian, and sugar-fixed the hordes of little ones that came by the door. But only after startling them.
	♥ 9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: My daugter & I made a costume that copied one she saw at a party the week before. She fit a cardboard box around her middle with a stuffed jacket and a mask head on her back. So it looked like a ghoul was carrying her dismembered torso. She got lots of compliments from people.
	♥ 9:41am Liz Berg: Love it, Ken!
	9:42am KP: Does anybody know how to change the clock in my car?
	♥ 9:43am Liz Berg: Jedi Mind Trick, KP...
	♥ 9:43am Marcel M: Try holding down some buttons KP. In my old car I can't remember which it was, maybe the volume or something? You pushed and held it down to change it.
	9:44am Kevlicki: Where is this trunk or treat biz happening
	♥ 9:48am Liz Berg: At a suburban strip mall/church parking lot near you! www.nj.com...
	♥ 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park: At least in a well-lit parking lot, there's less chance of getting ambushed by a stray pet bobcat in New Jersey.
	9:54am KP: Liz, it worked!
	♥ 9:55am Liz Berg: Victory!
	10:00am ?: http://cdn.someecards.com/someecards/usercards/073b91a322ea02900a5da4a8daf46c8974.png
	10:02am the Canterbury wood-elf: Mix yer mate with grapefruit juice, makes it a lot more tolerable...
	♥ 10:03am Marcel M: Yes makes no sense, I choose TRUNK, no treat please.
	♥ 10:03am Nate K: My daughter was dressed as a Sriracha bottle. We were all quite pleased with ourselves.
	10:04am Yair Yona: Greetings everyone
	♥ 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Trunk or treat plays into our current short-attention-span society. Kids can finish getting their candy in less than ten minutes.
	10:11am Cecile: hola!!
	10:11am Cecile: nate, that is a genius costume.
	♥ 10:14am Nate K: Cecile, it went over very well.
	10:15am Cecile: excellent. This intro threw me off, thought I was going to hear Shoes.
	10:16am KP: I prefer "Treat or Trunkin'" Either way sounds ominous
	♥ 10:19am mariano: Very nice and trippy, this Hookworms!
	♥ 10:19am common: i agree, that sounds pretty great, nate.
	10:20am Cecile: how about "treat or chunkin'" = you'll smash their pumpkins. Hey, good name for ....nevermind.
	♥ 10:21am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, all!
	♥ 10:26am Nate K: I have never heard the JWCIII before. Brand new?
	♥ 10:27am Artie: Yep, just out on Burger.
	♥ 10:27am Liz Berg: Yep, brand new one!
	10:34am KP: Very awesome
	10:35am Cheri Pi: this Chris Forsyth rules, hey Lizards!
	♥ 10:35am Sem Chumbo: Lovin' all of set 2 this morning, Liz. Seven stars so far.
	10:39am Thierry: Gorgeous streak!
	♥ 10:42am mariano: Wow, interesting to hear how TM's voice has lowered a tiny bit with age. I hadn't heard any of his recent solo stuff, this is great!
	10:43am Will: Hey, two FMU shows in a row play the same exact song -- what are the chances?? Tis a good song too ("Germs Burn").
	♥ 10:44am mariano: Love me some Steve Shelley drumming too!
	10:45am blue: Thurston again!
	10:48am wallpizza: the JWCIII>Chris Forsyth>Thurston Moore was killer.
	10:51am KP: Dreamy Police!
	♥ 10:53am rsj: i like this, it makes me feel cool, even though its in french
	♥ 10:56am common: like that bass line.
	11:00am Thierry: Liz, do you know Anne-James Chaton, a "poète sonore"? One of his projects was a collaboration with Andy Moor, of 'The Ex'.
	♥ 11:02am Liz Berg: Not familiar with Anne-James Chaton, Thierry. Can you recommend something I should check out?
	11:04am Cecile: Pi!
	11:08am DP: UK uses miles not kilometers
	11:10am Cecile: Also, they invented the unit of the mile there.
	11:11am tstamp82: YO! John Wesley Coleman III, he is a friend. Awesome musician and killer dude.
	11:12am Chris from DC: Really excited for that Chrome show.
	11:13am Jason: I'd always thought mile came from mille (sp?), Latin for 1000, and the Romans used it as 1000 paces.
	11:14am Cecile: Oh, probably, you're right. But it's been a unit of measurement in England for a veeeerrry long time.
	♥ 11:15am Liz Berg: Me such a dummy! I thought UK was like the continental euros!
	11:15am Cecile: they use kilos and whatnot for weight.
	11:16am the Canterbury wood-elf: Yeah, weird mix of metric and imperial over here. Food, etc. tends to be labelled in grams/kg but everyone still thinks in pounds and ounces. Road signs are all in miles, but we're supposedly participating in the metric system (most people here only have a vague idea what a kilometre is!).
	♥ 11:18am Artie: Would love to see the US go full metric. Think of it as the upstart punk kid of measurement systems!
	♥ 11:20am mariano: In my experience, Brits, Aussies, and Kiwis are able to do miles and kilometers, pounds and kilograms with equal ease. The Brits have one I'll never understand, though, the stone, or 14 pounds. You'll hear things like he weighs 15 stone, etc.
	11:21am the Canterbury wood-elf: The eccentric antiquarian John Michell staged a series of anti-Metric protests in the 1970s (the premise being that the ancient systems it was to replaced encoded some kind of mystical knowledge). Metrification is arguably part of the overall flattening-out and homogenisation of reality, so I'm starting to see his point. I weigh 8 stone, incidentally.
	♥ 11:22am Artie: @mariano: just think of one stone as 6.35 kilos.
	♥ 11:24am Artie: I weigh in at 2.1 Canterbury wood-elves.
	♥ 11:26am Greg from Bloomfield: My car gets 40 rods to the hog's head, and that's the way I likes it.
	♥ 11:26am Sem Chumbo: Was in school during the metricfication in Canada, so can do metric into Imperial (British) and American measure, the last of these being different in volumetric measure from British, i.e. US gallon is 80% of Imperial, or 4/5th of 4.5 litres. See how easy it is?
	11:28am βrian: My old F-150 threw a rod. I blame it on that 1973 pink Volvo driving alongside.
	11:28am Cecile: THE QUEEN DIVA YOU BETTA BELIEVE IT!YOU ALREADY KNOW!
	♥ 11:29am common: it's always the volvo's fault, brian
	11:31am duke: I use the FFF system of measurement en.wikipedia.org... I weigh about one and a half firkin
	♥ 11:32am Ken From Hyde Park: www.zmescience.com... - Map of countries not officially on the metric system.
	♥ 11:33am Greg from Bloomfield: BLEEP BLORP!!!
	11:34am ?: @Liz: I was lucky to see Anne-James Chaton 's performance with Andy Moor, and wikipedia tells me a recording has been made of this collaboration. His recordings, often published inside books, are hard to find. You might find him in the WFMU discothèque, since I recall hearing him once here. The real great stuff is his "Evènements" (German electronic music record label Raster-Noton)
	♥ 11:34am Sem Chumbo: @KfHP: yup, seen that one before. I wonder if there's a map of places where you CANNOT buy 4 foot by eight foot sheet of plywood? :-D
	11:35am Thierry: ? is me
	11:41am zeer: great show liz - thanks for the solid vibes
	11:43am tom j: I came in late but this set is rocking.
	11:52am david from ks: ,,,do i detect not so much appreciato for Wayne Coyn?,,, and i thought it was somthin I waz missing with the FL music!!
	♥ 11:56am Sem Chumbo: Been a great morning. Thanks, Liz, and see you again next time.
	12:01pm Cecile: denim is probably about the most uncomfortable fabric when it's wet.
	12:01pm Jesse K: great show, thanks Liz!
	♥ 12:01pm Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Liz! Awesome stuff today.

	♥ 11:26am Sem Chumbo: Was in school during the metricfication in Canada, so can do metric into Imperial (British) and American measure, the last of these being different in volumetric measure from British, i.e. US gallon is 80% of Imperial, or 4/5th of 4.5 litres. See how easy it is?
	11:28am βrian: My old F-150 threw a rod. I blame it on that 1973 pink Volvo driving alongside.

	11:34am ?: @Liz: I was lucky to see Anne-James Chaton 's performance with Andy Moor, and wikipedia tells me a recording has been made of this collaboration. His recordings, often published inside books, are hard to find. You might find him in the WFMU discothèque, since I recall hearing him once here. The real great stuff is his "Evènements" (German electronic music record label Raster-Noton)
	♥ 11:34am Sem Chumbo: @KfHP: yup, seen that one before. I wonder if there's a map of places where you CANNOT buy 4 foot by eight foot sheet of plywood? :-D
