Listener comments!
	12:05am JakeGould: Happy December!
	12:06am Therese: Happy December, Jake!
	12:06am Ken From Hyde Park: I didn't even know it was Bovember until Sunday afternoon.
	12:06am Mugsy: Good Evening Therese and hello to all on the board.
	12:07am Bad Krampus Zero: Rabbit rabbit! Happy new month, everyone. Let's shake those November 2014 bad news vibes and make December 2014 the best December ever!
	12:09am Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Hey Therese! Hey fellow listeners! Happy December!
	12:09am Matt from Springfield: Rabbit rabbit! Thanks for reminding me, December AWREADY! 1. Therese 2. Hello! 3. Everyone 2. Hello!
	12:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - whut? whut? ...to live in a land where Justice is a game...oh my...oh my...
	12:11am tino: the best...ever
	12:12am Steve-O: Hi there, Therese! Hope you're enjoying the first day of (chronological) winter.....btw, what's your favorite Bob Dylan song? =)
	12:12am JakeGould: Just reading up on the “Oath Keepers” in Ferguson. “I feel a lot better having those guys up on the roof.” GOOD GRIEF! It’s like these people think superheros from a comic book are helping them. www.stltoday.com...
	12:12am Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: Eh, could never happen in real life... RevRabbit RevRabbit! For this month is a new month!
	12:13am JakeGould: A bunch of folks just show up to your town with high powered rifles and now you feel “safer”. What lunacy.
	12:14am Steve-O: @Jake: Aaargh....THOSE guys? They just suck. In fact, I think the SPLC had some things to say about these creeps.....
	12:16am JakeGould: @Steve-O, yup. They kicked them off of their roof patrols. But they didn’t kick them out of town. It’s all so creepy.
	12:16am Matt from Springfield: @Jake: Some people will never learn until they become collateral damage to these pukes, what pukes they are.
	12:18am Steve-O: @Jake: Yeah, but I'm not so sure I can expect any better from the head honchos of the Ferguson P.D. at this point.
	12:21am Matt from Springfield: Say it sister! Brotherhood, not Sufferhood!
	12:21am JakeGould: Yeah, but like I said, “But they didn’t kick them out of town.”
	12:22am Bad Krampus Zero: Ferguson Missouri goddamn.
	12:26am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: You said it -- and it certainly rolls off the tongue better than "(Adjacent to the) Mississippi (River) Goddamn"
	12:31am JakeGould: Not all of the people in Ferguson are bad. The cops and people who support them including the courts that clearly are biased to the police are the issue.
	12:34am Matt from Springfield: And THEN some!
	12:36am Paul: Numero group always puts out great stuff
	12:36am ice in bklyn: 75 or so days til valentines day and I find myself
	12:37am ice in bklyn: So In love with you! Hi Therese.
	12:38am Matt from Springfield: Excellent news for Hatch & Paloma! @Paul: Love love love the Numero Group!
	12:38am Steve-O: @BGZ: Yeah, seconding Matt here. Therese, I feel you. Broke my heart as well; the fact that Darren Wilson got off scot-free.....Damn. Just damn. This SHOULD NOT be a problem in 2014. ='(
	12:39am Steve-O: @ice in bklyn: Therese is awesome indeed. =D
	12:39am Bad Krampus Zero: You can find info about the Syl Johnson documentary here: syljohnsonmovie.com
	12:40am KP: December?
	12:40am Matt from Springfield: And yet...it will probably happen again. Different names, same story...
	12:41am Matt from Springfield: Thanks BGZ! Never heard of Syl myself so this should be enlightening to me.
	12:41am KP: Good evening, Therese
	12:42am Ken From Hyde Park: I thought I invented bacon-flavored ketchup yesterday, but turns out it's already on the market.
	12:42am Matt from Springfield: Evening, KP!
	12:43am Matt from Springfield: @Ken HP: Learn from Bronwyn C, anything bacon is already on the market.
	12:43am Matt from Springfield: "Jerks In Costume" - GNFAB
	12:45am Ken From Hyde Park: @MfS - Yes, and when I find myself at the horse track, I'm putting my money on Cinnamon.
	12:45am JakeGould: Dump out your beers? On your way? I feel that. It’s the odd comfort of knowing it could have been worse if you were not white. I live in Bay Ridge… You know how many times I have seen city workers on the train drinking fem brown paper bags? In suits… Never hassled. Yup. That is the simple sad privilege of being white in America.
	12:46am KP: Hey Matt. Just came back from the Old Dominion myself.
	12:46am JakeGould: I mean, “…drinking from brown paper bags?” Not fem paper bags. Whatever they are.
	12:46am Steve-O: I have to agree with you, Therese. If I may, as F.D.R. said....."We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." Even when things may seem at their darkest, we should never give up. There ARE a lot of good people out there trying to fix our country's problems, whether it be social and/or economic inequality, etc., and I think we WILL ultimately succeed....us, the decent and progressively-minded people of the world.
	12:47am Bad Krampus Zero: Time to play Depeche Mode's "People Are People." :D
	12:48am KP: I have a Syl Johnson t-shirt here somewhere
	12:48am -andrew-: Well said Therese. By they way, hello everybody.
	12:48am Ken From Hyde Park: If we're lucky, the Republican majority in the legislative branch will makes things all right.
	12:48am Matt from Springfield: Important realization of your perspective in relation to others, Therese. Very good thought to share with us. When cops catch (non-violent) people with beers on a train, that should be the way of dealing with it for everyone. The sad fact is certain people will get so harassed over what isn't a big deal.
	12:50am Paul: Hey but now you can carry around a bit of a baggie full of pot without being arrested. Summons though. Let's see how that one gets enforced…
	12:51am JakeGould: Therese, you know how you are not supposed to have dogs on the subway unless they are service dogs? Seen tons of them on the train. Big and small. Never a hassle. One day on the L train a kid gets on the train with a big pit bull that was so gentle it was like magic. Just curled up in a ball bothering nobody. Guess what happens? The conductor saw this, calls the platform cop and the kid and the dog are ripped off the train. Happened 1 year ago and still stuns me.
	12:51am northguineahills: July 4th 2013, I was at a rooftop party w/ permission in Bed-Stuy, and the cops came and cuffed me and four other people (all white, even though the makeup of the scores of other guests were all over the rainbow, including my brown Mexi wife), and they ran a background check on us five, and gave us a summons for trespassing. Eventually, the charges were dropped. That said, the cops were polite, and no one was hurt. I talked to a retired cop who was a coworker, and he said it sounded like a reverse stop-and-frisk operation to get the numbers up of people of my demographic. All it did was cost me was 1.5 hours cuffed to a pipe and a few months later, a half day off from work to go to court.
	12:54am KP: Or is it the Cavalier State
	12:55am JakeGould: Matt from Springfield: I feel what you are saying but it’s not exactly equal treatment that is the issue as much as many laws and rules are really ignored if you are white yet “enforced” if you are black. How many kids are arrested in NYC every day for just being kids? How many times have a I passed white kids stoned out of their skulls after school and smelling of weed that it’s clear what is happening. Yet how many non-white kids get hassled for smoking one measly joint on a park bench? The imbalance in the law is not in enforcement as much as how much the rules are “bent” for one group and not for another. I mean if you get technical, jaywalking deserves to be enforced more, right?
	12:57am Sparks: "Everyone's basic humanity" may be wishful thinking. There are definitely individuals who score very low in the humanity meter.
	12:58am Listener Schned: Cher Therese, thanks for the magnificent programming, lo, these many moons, and especially for your comments tonight- fear indeed is the killer, not sure what it takes to give folks courage anymore...
	1:01am Steve-O: Happy first day of (chronological) winter, everybody! =)
	1:01am Julie: wow some serious convo here!
	1:01am Steve-O: @Julie: Yeah. But it's a good conversation to have, I think(IMHO).
	1:02am Jeff I'm Pahoa: Yay Therese!
	1:03am Matt from Springfield: That's true Jake, but that shows just how deep this problem runs. Until this becomes a concern to either the police themselves (not so likely) or the public to agitate against it (likelier, though many don't see a problem with the status quo), how one looks is going to remain a factor in the hammer of justice for some time.
	1:03am JakeGould: Folks, let me explain the imbalance based on a loon in my neighborhood. He is a neighborhood drunk named “Bobo”. He’s white and Irish. He grew up in this neighborhood. Everybody knows who he is. Drunk morning, noon and night. Craps on the streets. Sleeps in the streets. One of those guys who you think, “How does he survive?” Anyway, he’s no longer on the streets because he threatened to behead an Arab woman and attacked her with a garbage can. Sounds good right? He has 34 PRIOR CONVICTIONS for this kind of crap. Was he EVER seriously locked up? Nope. 100% no. Now he’s locked up. But here is the thing: HE IS ALIVE! He was convicted 34 other times and is just a bum… But he finally get’s locked up now. Not shot 18 times by cops. He’s alive and locked up. Which means, if this guy was not white. If this guy was black, the chances of him being locked up or dead are off the charts. www.nydailynews.com...
	1:03am Matt from Springfield: Hi Julie! Join in the "fun"!
	1:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Just 743 more hours of December left.
	1:04am Julie: Pseu!!
	1:05am KP: It was good to see Pseau in the movie
	1:06am Matt from Springfield: "Heart In The Right Place Productions presents..."
	1:07am Julie: Patsy Kensit!
	1:07am JakeGould: In contrast, a somewhat mentally ill guy in Times Square pulls out a knife in the middle of traffic and is shot at three times and locked up. The guy arrested is black. Good grief. www.nytimes.com...
	1:07am JakeGould: Also, I need to change my tone, “Absolute Beginners” is not a good movie but a good soundtrack.
	1:08am Bad Krampus Zero: I was disappointed with it the first time I saw it [around the time it originally came out]. I saw it many years later and liked it more. I think it's a good movie, but you feel like it should be better based on the talent involved.
	1:08am JakeGould: KRAMPUS! Good taste, sir.
	1:09am northguineahills: @Jake: There used to be a Polish guy like the guy you described in my hood, w/o the violence. He would be loud, a bother, but nothing else, and I would find him passed out on the trash bags in front of my building many of times.
	1:10am Bad Krampus Zero: I heart Iris Records!
	1:11am Ice in Brooklyn: Honk
	1:12am JakeGould: NorthGuineaHills: Yup. This guy was truly the neighborhood drunk. And his history is sad. Lived around the corner. Some deaths in his family. The neighborhood tolerated his benign drunkeness. But this time, he went to far.
	1:12am Bad Krampus Zero: Our assignment this week is to create special disco versions of "Far Away Eyes" for Therese.
	1:12am Matt from Springfield: It IS a country song! And whaddaya know, I HAVE that very same EP! Bought around 10 years ago in college, Barry's Music in Radford, VA. Unsealed and old, worn sides. Around $3, if not less -- $15 is such a ripoff!
	1:13am JakeGould: NorthGuineaHills: Greenpoint still has tons of Polish drunks even with the gentrification happening. Stunning actually that is still the case.
	1:13am JakeGould: NorthGuineaHills: Greenpoint still has tons of Polish drunks even with the gentrification happening. Stunning actually that is still the case.
	1:14am Steve-O: @Jake: The disparities are indeed bothersome, no matter how you look at it. But, if I must say so, I kinda do have a problem with labelling such as "privilege" of the least affected group, mainly because it often seems to imply (from what I've seen) that this actually literally "benefits" said group as a whole. Although I would think that most here would agree that such is not the case, it does worry me because I've noticed a lot of people have a much harder time accepting the truth of the matter if framed in that way, because it often doesn't come off too well, even with the best intentions in mind. For those of us more active in social justice circles, I've been wondering, at least for the sake of educating the general public, what would work better. What about just plain "systemic disadvantage" would work? It does get straight to the point, without the risk of accidentally confusing and befuddling people. Anyway, just thought I might put that out there.
	1:15am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: Start by dubbing bass over Mick's intro, then add Love Unlimited orchestrations to the singing parts...
	1:17am Ken From Hyde Park: Whatever happened to that affluenza kid? Talk about privileged...hoo boy.
	1:18am northguineahills: @Jake, this was the interstitial region b/tn east Willamsburg and Bushwick. The locals thought he came around there so his neighbors wouldn't see him.
	1:18am Sparks: Miss you is such a great song. Thanks!
	1:19am Therese: You're welcome, Sparks!
	1:20am JakeGould: Who knows why drunks do what they do. I grew up in Brighton Beach and yowza there were a lot of “characters” but nobody was violent really and were mostly tolerated. But that was the 1970s, so hey.
	1:20am Bad Krampus Zero: A couple of weeks ago Ethan Couch [the affluenza kid] was moved from a psychiatric facility to a treatment center. His dad was arrested in August for impersonating a law enforcement officer.
	1:22am Bad Krampus Zero: I hope some of the songs in this set feature laser whips.
	1:23am KP: I think I saw Therese in the movie too
	1:24am JakeGould: Ethan Couch “To the defense, the youth is himself a victim -- of "affluenza," according to one psychologist -- the product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for the boy.” www.cnn.com...
	1:24am JakeGould: And on another note, thank you for the disco, Therese.
	1:28am Paul: Yeah hard to feel sorry for Ethan Couch of course, although it does sound like some shitty problems. Money can't make everything go away
	1:29am Paul: some good 'pew pew peww' sounds in that last one
	1:29am Steve-O: @BGZ: Depeche Mode is awesome. Will have to listen to them sometime. Also. @Matt: " Important realization of your perspective in relation to others, Therese. Very good thought to share with us. When cops catch (non-violent) people with beers on a train, that should be the way of dealing with it for everyone. The sad fact is certain people will get so harassed over what isn't a big deal." Yes, this, and I'm all for ending these societal disparities, in every manner possible. A better world can be attained. It's up to all of us to try to make that happen, in any way we can.
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: Pretty song from The Motels -- their first major hit after so many years of releases.
	1:30am Julie: All Four One is a really good record
	1:31am JakeGould: I’ve actually met a few “affluenza” rich kids and it still amazes me that they actually believe they are above the laws of society. And the MOTELS are great!
	1:32am Matt from Springfield: @Steve-O: Yes! Change the world - starting with yourself!
	1:32am Steve-O: @KP: The WFMU movie? Aw man, I need to go see that! @Jake: Yeah, sadly, "affluenza" is indeed a huge problem. Ethan Couch here in Texas is but ONE example.
	1:33am JakeGould: Folks, I feel my big typing mouth has brought down the convo a bit. So how about this: What is the best dessert we had this weekend?
	1:35am Steve-O: @Jake: Sweet potatoes for me. What about you? =)
	1:36am JakeGould: Me? Very fancy cream puff from a very nice and non-fancy local doughnut place.
	1:38am Bad Krampus Zero: I had some Peanut Chews.
	1:39am northguineahills: My wife made beet/mint ice cream. I was skeptical, but it was good.
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: @Jake: Not bringing it down - on a tangent perhaps, but certainly not down! That said, apple pie. And "fill 'er up" chocolate cupcakes hollowed out with creme icing in the middle and the center cake placed on top! :)
	1:40am Mugsy: Honeycrisp apples and caramel.
	1:40am Therese: Beet/mint ice cream sounds delish! I also had apple pie.
	1:41am JakeGould: I will say that my brief test of my suspected soy intolerance was further verified this weekend. Sorry folks, meat for me. Now I want apple pie. :/
	1:42am Ken From Hyde Park: My daughter's microwave s'mores.
	1:44am Matt from Springfield: @Ken HP: That likewise sounds good! Been a while since I made those..
	1:44am Bad Krampus Zero: That guy's hair is glorious.
	1:45am Bad Krampus Zero: Members of Wham's backing band played on that Space Monkey record.
	1:46am JakeGould: Space Monkey looks like a hairdresser. www.discogs.com...
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: Dave Mandl says it can't be done?!? Oh, now we GOTTA do a disco remix of "Far Away Eyes"!!!
	1:47am Mugsy: These listeners are ON IT!
	1:47am JakeGould: Dessert is good for any time of the year or day.
	1:48am JakeGould: “Space Monkey was not a "group" per se; Goodchild was the only person to appear on every one of On the Beam's tracks. Various session musicians were utilized, including Wham's backup band and members of Bow Wow Wow. Also contributing was keyboard player Adrian Lee, who would later join Mike + the Mechanics.”
	1:49am Matt from Springfield: Lyrics = fine for meditation. Not fine for yoga. (Worst. Yogagiving. Ever.)
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: They did do a 25th anniversary "We Are The World" in 2010, as a benefit for Haiti. Also there might have been a recent benefit supergroup lately.
	1:51am Steve-O: @Therese: The apple pie was a close second for me. =)
	1:51am JakeGould: So sick of “Band Aid” and “We Are the World.” To millennials, aren’t those items basically like the Jerry Lewis telethon.
	1:52am Matt from Springfield: Did Therese stumble into a Christian Yoga class? They have those now.
	1:53am Matt from Springfield: @Steve-O: "Everybody's got / Some apple pie / 'cept for BGZ and Jake Gould" ;)
	1:54am Matt from Springfield: "Jablonsky" sounds like a good, solid musician name...
	1:54am Matt from Springfield: Moral: Yoga can be strange.
	1:56am JakeGould: Kitty Kallen? www.ebay.com...
	1:57am Steve-O: @Matt: Dave Mandl is awesome, but I disagree: after all, "Tainted Love" was originally a Northern soul song by Gloria Jones before Soft Cell turned it into an awesome rock tune in 1981.....=) (P.S., thank you Wikipedia! And GTA: San Andreas, for featuring Gloria Jones's original song, which I also liked.)
	1:58am Bad Krampus Zero: I'm trying to think of a concise way of telling a story about Steve Albini's wife and that Band Aid record.
	2:05am Matt from Springfield: Great psych set so far!
	2:09am Bad Krampus Zero: When the Band Aid record came Mrs. Albini's sister noted that she looked just like someone pictured on the record sleeve; it was a member of Bananarama. Mrs. Albini told her sister that during a school trip to London her class had toured the recording studio and she had been invited to sing on the track. For many years after any time the sister heard the Band Aid song she would tell her friends about her sister being on the record. Mrs. Albini eventually fessed up to not being on the Band Aid record .
	2:14am Therese: That is a fantastic story, BKZ.
	2:16am JakeGould: Says something about the staying power of Bananarama as well.
	2:27am Matt from Springfield: Wait, what's happening on the 2014th??!
	2:30am Bad Krampus Zero: Beverly Hills 92014
	2:30am JakeGould: Pilates is nasty. It’s like German apparatus yoga. A Bond villain could be a Pilates expert who then kills on the side.
	2:31am Bad Krampus Zero: "No, Mr. Bond, I want you to stretch."
	2:31am JakeGould: EXACTLY BGZ!
	2:33am Therese: Was Lotte Lenya's character a Pilates instructor?
	2:34am JakeGould: Found this Pilates “Reformer∏ board video with a ridiculous soundtrack. “Mr. Bond, we will reform YOU! BWAHAHAHAH!” www.youtube.com...
	2:35am Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Chesperito, inspiration for Bumblebee Man on The Simpsons.
	2:35am Bad Krampus Zero: ♫♫ Corefinger He's the man, the man with Midas core ♫♫
	2:36am Bad Krampus Zero: BLERG! the man with THE Midas core
	2:38am Matt from Springfield: What a Savage (yet Whimsical) Imagination!
	2:39am Therese: Are we counting "Never Say Never Again" as Bond canon? I will bet a dollar that there's a deleted Pilates scene floating around from that one...
	2:40am Matt from Springfield: Suppressed by the Pilates lobby...
	2:43am JakeGould: “I thought you said pie and lattes. This is highly unusual even for you, Rosa Klebb.”
	2:46am Bad Krampus Zero: I'm not sure about a deleted Pilates scene from "Never Say Never Again," but I'm pretty sure Mickey Rourke made Kim Bassinger do Pilates in a deleted scene from "9 1/2 Weeks."
	2:48am JakeGould: Well, now I have a desiccated Mickey Rouke image in my head, Good night good people!
	2:48am Bad Krampus Zero: Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Mat On" was used in the scene.
	2:50am Mugsy: Therese- love the show, love your message, love 'FMU, nothing but love here baby. Have a nice week.
	2:51am Matt from Springfield: Delta Dawn!
	2:52am blee: @Ken f HP - Damn it all, Chesperito died?!? Now there was a man who knew funny.
	2:53am rw: Hello! Just arrived and scanned the comments. Seems lively. Beet mint ice cream, huh? Thank you Therese for another great radio show!
	2:54am Julie: I think Delta Dawn (tanya's) was the first 45 I ever played. Older sister's, no doubt
	2:56am Therese: I love that song. Any version.
	2:57am Therese: Thank you all for listening and for your comments! I am thankful for every one of you.
	2:57am Steve-O: @blee: Aw man, that stinks. I only got to watch a few of his episodes(one I remember is his take on "Snow White"), but he was genuinely into it. R.I.P. Chesperito. May your memory live on. Well, anyway, good show tonight, Therese! The conversations we had were also interesting.....thanks. And have a wonderful week! =)
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Tanya's was the first, prob still the best version! So kind! Let us give thanks once again to Therese! Of Thee We Pling! ;) Have a good night everyone!
	3:00am blee: Great show Therese. Thank you for doing what you do. And of course, not doing what you don't do.
	3:00am Bad Krampus Zero: Thank you, Therese! Have a great week, everyone. See you back here next time.
	3:01am Steve-O: Brrr.....gonna be chilly here in D/FW tomorrow. Might even hit freezing.....but fitting, I suppose, for the first calendar day of winter. Have a good time, folks. =)
	3:02am Bad Krampus Zero: Barry Manilow on piano; Melissa Manchester on backing vocals.
	3:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Takako Minekawa & Dustin Wong were on Faye's fill-in for EFD last Wednesday.

Listener comments!
	12:05am JakeGould: Happy December!
	12:06am Therese: Happy December, Jake!
	12:06am Ken From Hyde Park: I didn't even know it was Bovember until Sunday afternoon.
	12:06am Mugsy: Good Evening Therese and hello to all on the board.
	12:07am Bad Krampus Zero: Rabbit rabbit! Happy new month, everyone. Let's shake those November 2014 bad news vibes and make December 2014 the best December ever!
	12:09am Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Hey Therese! Hey fellow listeners! Happy December!
	12:09am Matt from Springfield: Rabbit rabbit! Thanks for reminding me, December AWREADY! 1. Therese 2. Hello! 3. Everyone 2. Hello!
	12:10am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - whut? whut? ...to live in a land where Justice is a game...oh my...oh my...
	12:11am tino: the best...ever
	12:12am Steve-O: Hi there, Therese! Hope you're enjoying the first day of (chronological) winter.....btw, what's your favorite Bob Dylan song? =)
	12:12am JakeGould: Just reading up on the “Oath Keepers” in Ferguson. “I feel a lot better having those guys up on the roof.” GOOD GRIEF! It’s like these people think superheros from a comic book are helping them. www.stltoday.com...
	12:12am Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: Eh, could never happen in real life... RevRabbit RevRabbit! For this month is a new month!
	12:13am JakeGould: A bunch of folks just show up to your town with high powered rifles and now you feel “safer”. What lunacy.
	12:14am Steve-O: @Jake: Aaargh....THOSE guys? They just suck. In fact, I think the SPLC had some things to say about these creeps.....
	12:16am JakeGould: @Steve-O, yup. They kicked them off of their roof patrols. But they didn’t kick them out of town. It’s all so creepy.
	12:16am Matt from Springfield: @Jake: Some people will never learn until they become collateral damage to these pukes, what pukes they are.
	12:18am Steve-O: @Jake: Yeah, but I'm not so sure I can expect any better from the head honchos of the Ferguson P.D. at this point.
	12:21am Matt from Springfield: Say it sister! Brotherhood, not Sufferhood!
	12:21am JakeGould: Yeah, but like I said, “But they didn’t kick them out of town.”
	12:22am Bad Krampus Zero: Ferguson Missouri goddamn.
	12:26am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: You said it -- and it certainly rolls off the tongue better than "(Adjacent to the) Mississippi (River) Goddamn"
	12:31am JakeGould: Not all of the people in Ferguson are bad. The cops and people who support them including the courts that clearly are biased to the police are the issue.
	12:34am Matt from Springfield: And THEN some!
	12:36am Paul: Numero group always puts out great stuff
	12:36am ice in bklyn: 75 or so days til valentines day and I find myself
	12:37am ice in bklyn: So In love with you! Hi Therese.
	12:38am Matt from Springfield: Excellent news for Hatch & Paloma! @Paul: Love love love the Numero Group!
	12:38am Steve-O: @BGZ: Yeah, seconding Matt here. Therese, I feel you. Broke my heart as well; the fact that Darren Wilson got off scot-free.....Damn. Just damn. This SHOULD NOT be a problem in 2014. ='(
	12:39am Steve-O: @ice in bklyn: Therese is awesome indeed. =D
	12:39am Bad Krampus Zero: You can find info about the Syl Johnson documentary here: syljohnsonmovie.com
	12:40am KP: December?
	12:40am Matt from Springfield: And yet...it will probably happen again. Different names, same story...
	12:41am Matt from Springfield: Thanks BGZ! Never heard of Syl myself so this should be enlightening to me.
	12:41am KP: Good evening, Therese
	12:42am Ken From Hyde Park: I thought I invented bacon-flavored ketchup yesterday, but turns out it's already on the market.
	12:42am Matt from Springfield: Evening, KP!
	12:43am Matt from Springfield: @Ken HP: Learn from Bronwyn C, anything bacon is already on the market.
	12:43am Matt from Springfield: "Jerks In Costume" - GNFAB
	12:45am Ken From Hyde Park: @MfS - Yes, and when I find myself at the horse track, I'm putting my money on Cinnamon.
	12:45am JakeGould: Dump out your beers? On your way? I feel that. It’s the odd comfort of knowing it could have been worse if you were not white. I live in Bay Ridge… You know how many times I have seen city workers on the train drinking fem brown paper bags? In suits… Never hassled. Yup. That is the simple sad privilege of being white in America.
	12:46am KP: Hey Matt. Just came back from the Old Dominion myself.
	12:46am JakeGould: I mean, “…drinking from brown paper bags?” Not fem paper bags. Whatever they are.
	12:46am Steve-O: I have to agree with you, Therese. If I may, as F.D.R. said....."We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." Even when things may seem at their darkest, we should never give up. There ARE a lot of good people out there trying to fix our country's problems, whether it be social and/or economic inequality, etc., and I think we WILL ultimately succeed....us, the decent and progressively-minded people of the world.
	12:47am Bad Krampus Zero: Time to play Depeche Mode's "People Are People." :D
	12:48am KP: I have a Syl Johnson t-shirt here somewhere
	12:48am -andrew-: Well said Therese. By they way, hello everybody.
	12:48am Ken From Hyde Park: If we're lucky, the Republican majority in the legislative branch will makes things all right.
	12:48am Matt from Springfield: Important realization of your perspective in relation to others, Therese. Very good thought to share with us. When cops catch (non-violent) people with beers on a train, that should be the way of dealing with it for everyone. The sad fact is certain people will get so harassed over what isn't a big deal.
	12:50am Paul: Hey but now you can carry around a bit of a baggie full of pot without being arrested. Summons though. Let's see how that one gets enforced…
	12:51am JakeGould: Therese, you know how you are not supposed to have dogs on the subway unless they are service dogs? Seen tons of them on the train. Big and small. Never a hassle. One day on the L train a kid gets on the train with a big pit bull that was so gentle it was like magic. Just curled up in a ball bothering nobody. Guess what happens? The conductor saw this, calls the platform cop and the kid and the dog are ripped off the train. Happened 1 year ago and still stuns me.
	12:51am northguineahills: July 4th 2013, I was at a rooftop party w/ permission in Bed-Stuy, and the cops came and cuffed me and four other people (all white, even though the makeup of the scores of other guests were all over the rainbow, including my brown Mexi wife), and they ran a background check on us five, and gave us a summons for trespassing. Eventually, the charges were dropped. That said, the cops were polite, and no one was hurt. I talked to a retired cop who was a coworker, and he said it sounded like a reverse stop-and-frisk operation to get the numbers up of people of my demographic. All it did was cost me was 1.5 hours cuffed to a pipe and a few months later, a half day off from work to go to court.
	12:54am KP: Or is it the Cavalier State
	12:55am JakeGould: Matt from Springfield: I feel what you are saying but it’s not exactly equal treatment that is the issue as much as many laws and rules are really ignored if you are white yet “enforced” if you are black. How many kids are arrested in NYC every day for just being kids? How many times have a I passed white kids stoned out of their skulls after school and smelling of weed that it’s clear what is happening. Yet how many non-white kids get hassled for smoking one measly joint on a park bench? The imbalance in the law is not in enforcement as much as how much the rules are “bent” for one group and not for another. I mean if you get technical, jaywalking deserves to be enforced more, right?
	12:57am Sparks: "Everyone's basic humanity" may be wishful thinking. There are definitely individuals who score very low in the humanity meter.
	12:58am Listener Schned: Cher Therese, thanks for the magnificent programming, lo, these many moons, and especially for your comments tonight- fear indeed is the killer, not sure what it takes to give folks courage anymore...
	1:01am Steve-O: Happy first day of (chronological) winter, everybody! =)
	1:01am Julie: wow some serious convo here!
	1:01am Steve-O: @Julie: Yeah. But it's a good conversation to have, I think(IMHO).
	1:02am Jeff I'm Pahoa: Yay Therese!
	1:03am Matt from Springfield: That's true Jake, but that shows just how deep this problem runs. Until this becomes a concern to either the police themselves (not so likely) or the public to agitate against it (likelier, though many don't see a problem with the status quo), how one looks is going to remain a factor in the hammer of justice for some time.
	1:03am JakeGould: Folks, let me explain the imbalance based on a loon in my neighborhood. He is a neighborhood drunk named “Bobo”. He’s white and Irish. He grew up in this neighborhood. Everybody knows who he is. Drunk morning, noon and night. Craps on the streets. Sleeps in the streets. One of those guys who you think, “How does he survive?” Anyway, he’s no longer on the streets because he threatened to behead an Arab woman and attacked her with a garbage can. Sounds good right? He has 34 PRIOR CONVICTIONS for this kind of crap. Was he EVER seriously locked up? Nope. 100% no. Now he’s locked up. But here is the thing: HE IS ALIVE! He was convicted 34 other times and is just a bum… But he finally get’s locked up now. Not shot 18 times by cops. He’s alive and locked up. Which means, if this guy was not white. If this guy was black, the chances of him being locked up or dead are off the charts. www.nydailynews.com...
	1:03am Matt from Springfield: Hi Julie! Join in the "fun"!
	1:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Just 743 more hours of December left.
	1:04am Julie: Pseu!!
	1:05am KP: It was good to see Pseau in the movie
	1:06am Matt from Springfield: "Heart In The Right Place Productions presents..."
	1:07am Julie: Patsy Kensit!
	1:07am JakeGould: In contrast, a somewhat mentally ill guy in Times Square pulls out a knife in the middle of traffic and is shot at three times and locked up. The guy arrested is black. Good grief. www.nytimes.com...
	1:07am JakeGould: Also, I need to change my tone, “Absolute Beginners” is not a good movie but a good soundtrack.
	1:08am Bad Krampus Zero: I was disappointed with it the first time I saw it [around the time it originally came out]. I saw it many years later and liked it more. I think it's a good movie, but you feel like it should be better based on the talent involved.
	1:08am JakeGould: KRAMPUS! Good taste, sir.
	1:09am northguineahills: @Jake: There used to be a Polish guy like the guy you described in my hood, w/o the violence. He would be loud, a bother, but nothing else, and I would find him passed out on the trash bags in front of my building many of times.
	1:10am Bad Krampus Zero: I heart Iris Records!
	1:11am Ice in Brooklyn: Honk
	1:12am JakeGould: NorthGuineaHills: Yup. This guy was truly the neighborhood drunk. And his history is sad. Lived around the corner. Some deaths in his family. The neighborhood tolerated his benign drunkeness. But this time, he went to far.
	1:12am Bad Krampus Zero: Our assignment this week is to create special disco versions of "Far Away Eyes" for Therese.
	1:12am Matt from Springfield: It IS a country song! And whaddaya know, I HAVE that very same EP! Bought around 10 years ago in college, Barry's Music in Radford, VA. Unsealed and old, worn sides. Around $3, if not less -- $15 is such a ripoff!
	1:13am JakeGould: NorthGuineaHills: Greenpoint still has tons of Polish drunks even with the gentrification happening. Stunning actually that is still the case.
	1:13am JakeGould: NorthGuineaHills: Greenpoint still has tons of Polish drunks even with the gentrification happening. Stunning actually that is still the case.
	1:14am Steve-O: @Jake: The disparities are indeed bothersome, no matter how you look at it. But, if I must say so, I kinda do have a problem with labelling such as "privilege" of the least affected group, mainly because it often seems to imply (from what I've seen) that this actually literally "benefits" said group as a whole. Although I would think that most here would agree that such is not the case, it does worry me because I've noticed a lot of people have a much harder time accepting the truth of the matter if framed in that way, because it often doesn't come off too well, even with the best intentions in mind. For those of us more active in social justice circles, I've been wondering, at least for the sake of educating the general public, what would work better. What about just plain "systemic disadvantage" would work? It does get straight to the point, without the risk of accidentally confusing and befuddling people. Anyway, just thought I might put that out there.
	1:15am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: Start by dubbing bass over Mick's intro, then add Love Unlimited orchestrations to the singing parts...
	1:17am Ken From Hyde Park: Whatever happened to that affluenza kid? Talk about privileged...hoo boy.
	1:18am northguineahills: @Jake, this was the interstitial region b/tn east Willamsburg and Bushwick. The locals thought he came around there so his neighbors wouldn't see him.
	1:18am Sparks: Miss you is such a great song. Thanks!
	1:19am Therese: You're welcome, Sparks!
	1:20am JakeGould: Who knows why drunks do what they do. I grew up in Brighton Beach and yowza there were a lot of “characters” but nobody was violent really and were mostly tolerated. But that was the 1970s, so hey.
	1:20am Bad Krampus Zero: A couple of weeks ago Ethan Couch [the affluenza kid] was moved from a psychiatric facility to a treatment center. His dad was arrested in August for impersonating a law enforcement officer.
	1:22am Bad Krampus Zero: I hope some of the songs in this set feature laser whips.
	1:23am KP: I think I saw Therese in the movie too
	1:24am JakeGould: Ethan Couch “To the defense, the youth is himself a victim -- of "affluenza," according to one psychologist -- the product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for the boy.” www.cnn.com...
	1:24am JakeGould: And on another note, thank you for the disco, Therese.
	1:28am Paul: Yeah hard to feel sorry for Ethan Couch of course, although it does sound like some shitty problems. Money can't make everything go away
	1:29am Paul: some good 'pew pew peww' sounds in that last one
	1:29am Steve-O: @BGZ: Depeche Mode is awesome. Will have to listen to them sometime. Also. @Matt: " Important realization of your perspective in relation to others, Therese. Very good thought to share with us. When cops catch (non-violent) people with beers on a train, that should be the way of dealing with it for everyone. The sad fact is certain people will get so harassed over what isn't a big deal." Yes, this, and I'm all for ending these societal disparities, in every manner possible. A better world can be attained. It's up to all of us to try to make that happen, in any way we can.
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: Pretty song from The Motels -- their first major hit after so many years of releases.
	1:30am Julie: All Four One is a really good record
	1:31am JakeGould: I’ve actually met a few “affluenza” rich kids and it still amazes me that they actually believe they are above the laws of society. And the MOTELS are great!
	1:32am Matt from Springfield: @Steve-O: Yes! Change the world - starting with yourself!
	1:32am Steve-O: @KP: The WFMU movie? Aw man, I need to go see that! @Jake: Yeah, sadly, "affluenza" is indeed a huge problem. Ethan Couch here in Texas is but ONE example.
	1:33am JakeGould: Folks, I feel my big typing mouth has brought down the convo a bit. So how about this: What is the best dessert we had this weekend?
	1:35am Steve-O: @Jake: Sweet potatoes for me. What about you? =)
	1:36am JakeGould: Me? Very fancy cream puff from a very nice and non-fancy local doughnut place.
	1:38am Bad Krampus Zero: I had some Peanut Chews.
	1:39am northguineahills: My wife made beet/mint ice cream. I was skeptical, but it was good.
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: @Jake: Not bringing it down - on a tangent perhaps, but certainly not down! That said, apple pie. And "fill 'er up" chocolate cupcakes hollowed out with creme icing in the middle and the center cake placed on top! :)
	1:40am Mugsy: Honeycrisp apples and caramel.
	1:40am Therese: Beet/mint ice cream sounds delish! I also had apple pie.
	1:41am JakeGould: I will say that my brief test of my suspected soy intolerance was further verified this weekend. Sorry folks, meat for me. Now I want apple pie. :/
	1:42am Ken From Hyde Park: My daughter's microwave s'mores.
	1:44am Matt from Springfield: @Ken HP: That likewise sounds good! Been a while since I made those..
	1:44am Bad Krampus Zero: That guy's hair is glorious.
	1:45am Bad Krampus Zero: Members of Wham's backing band played on that Space Monkey record.
	1:46am JakeGould: Space Monkey looks like a hairdresser. www.discogs.com...
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: Dave Mandl says it can't be done?!? Oh, now we GOTTA do a disco remix of "Far Away Eyes"!!!
	1:47am Mugsy: These listeners are ON IT!
	1:47am JakeGould: Dessert is good for any time of the year or day.
	1:48am JakeGould: “Space Monkey was not a "group" per se; Goodchild was the only person to appear on every one of On the Beam's tracks. Various session musicians were utilized, including Wham's backup band and members of Bow Wow Wow. Also contributing was keyboard player Adrian Lee, who would later join Mike + the Mechanics.”
	1:49am Matt from Springfield: Lyrics = fine for meditation. Not fine for yoga. (Worst. Yogagiving. Ever.)
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: They did do a 25th anniversary "We Are The World" in 2010, as a benefit for Haiti. Also there might have been a recent benefit supergroup lately.
	1:51am Steve-O: @Therese: The apple pie was a close second for me. =)
	1:51am JakeGould: So sick of “Band Aid” and “We Are the World.” To millennials, aren’t those items basically like the Jerry Lewis telethon.
	1:52am Matt from Springfield: Did Therese stumble into a Christian Yoga class? They have those now.
	1:53am Matt from Springfield: @Steve-O: "Everybody's got / Some apple pie / 'cept for BGZ and Jake Gould" ;)
	1:54am Matt from Springfield: "Jablonsky" sounds like a good, solid musician name...
	1:54am Matt from Springfield: Moral: Yoga can be strange.
	1:56am JakeGould: Kitty Kallen? www.ebay.com...
	1:57am Steve-O: @Matt: Dave Mandl is awesome, but I disagree: after all, "Tainted Love" was originally a Northern soul song by Gloria Jones before Soft Cell turned it into an awesome rock tune in 1981.....=) (P.S., thank you Wikipedia! And GTA: San Andreas, for featuring Gloria Jones's original song, which I also liked.)
	1:58am Bad Krampus Zero: I'm trying to think of a concise way of telling a story about Steve Albini's wife and that Band Aid record.
	2:05am Matt from Springfield: Great psych set so far!
	2:09am Bad Krampus Zero: When the Band Aid record came Mrs. Albini's sister noted that she looked just like someone pictured on the record sleeve; it was a member of Bananarama. Mrs. Albini told her sister that during a school trip to London her class had toured the recording studio and she had been invited to sing on the track. For many years after any time the sister heard the Band Aid song she would tell her friends about her sister being on the record. Mrs. Albini eventually fessed up to not being on the Band Aid record .
	2:14am Therese: That is a fantastic story, BKZ.
	2:16am JakeGould: Says something about the staying power of Bananarama as well.
	2:27am Matt from Springfield: Wait, what's happening on the 2014th??!
	2:30am Bad Krampus Zero: Beverly Hills 92014
	2:30am JakeGould: Pilates is nasty. It’s like German apparatus yoga. A Bond villain could be a Pilates expert who then kills on the side.
	2:31am Bad Krampus Zero: "No, Mr. Bond, I want you to stretch."
	2:31am JakeGould: EXACTLY BGZ!
	2:33am Therese: Was Lotte Lenya's character a Pilates instructor?
	2:34am JakeGould: Found this Pilates “Reformer∏ board video with a ridiculous soundtrack. “Mr. Bond, we will reform YOU! BWAHAHAHAH!” www.youtube.com...
	2:35am Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Chesperito, inspiration for Bumblebee Man on The Simpsons.
	2:35am Bad Krampus Zero: ♫♫ Corefinger He's the man, the man with Midas core ♫♫
	2:36am Bad Krampus Zero: BLERG! the man with THE Midas core
	2:38am Matt from Springfield: What a Savage (yet Whimsical) Imagination!
	2:39am Therese: Are we counting "Never Say Never Again" as Bond canon? I will bet a dollar that there's a deleted Pilates scene floating around from that one...
	2:40am Matt from Springfield: Suppressed by the Pilates lobby...
	2:43am JakeGould: “I thought you said pie and lattes. This is highly unusual even for you, Rosa Klebb.”
	2:46am Bad Krampus Zero: I'm not sure about a deleted Pilates scene from "Never Say Never Again," but I'm pretty sure Mickey Rourke made Kim Bassinger do Pilates in a deleted scene from "9 1/2 Weeks."
	2:48am JakeGould: Well, now I have a desiccated Mickey Rouke image in my head, Good night good people!
	2:48am Bad Krampus Zero: Joe Cocker's "You Can Leave Your Mat On" was used in the scene.
	2:50am Mugsy: Therese- love the show, love your message, love 'FMU, nothing but love here baby. Have a nice week.
	2:51am Matt from Springfield: Delta Dawn!
	2:52am blee: @Ken f HP - Damn it all, Chesperito died?!? Now there was a man who knew funny.
	2:53am rw: Hello! Just arrived and scanned the comments. Seems lively. Beet mint ice cream, huh? Thank you Therese for another great radio show!
	2:54am Julie: I think Delta Dawn (tanya's) was the first 45 I ever played. Older sister's, no doubt
	2:56am Therese: I love that song. Any version.
	2:57am Therese: Thank you all for listening and for your comments! I am thankful for every one of you.
	2:57am Steve-O: @blee: Aw man, that stinks. I only got to watch a few of his episodes(one I remember is his take on "Snow White"), but he was genuinely into it. R.I.P. Chesperito. May your memory live on. Well, anyway, good show tonight, Therese! The conversations we had were also interesting.....thanks. And have a wonderful week! =)
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Tanya's was the first, prob still the best version! So kind! Let us give thanks once again to Therese! Of Thee We Pling! ;) Have a good night everyone!
	3:00am blee: Great show Therese. Thank you for doing what you do. And of course, not doing what you don't do.
	3:00am Bad Krampus Zero: Thank you, Therese! Have a great week, everyone. See you back here next time.
	3:01am Steve-O: Brrr.....gonna be chilly here in D/FW tomorrow. Might even hit freezing.....but fitting, I suppose, for the first calendar day of winter. Have a good time, folks. =)
	3:02am Bad Krampus Zero: Barry Manilow on piano; Melissa Manchester on backing vocals.
	3:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Takako Minekawa & Dustin Wong were on Faye's fill-in for EFD last Wednesday.
