	9:36pm Van in DC: I lack popular culture stuff pretty much so my bad lol
	9:37pm JakeGould: Here in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Sounds like 91.1FM just went off the air.
	9:38pm Snortley: Yep. 91.1 is off the air.
	9:38pm Van in DC: LOVE THE NADLER!

	9:40pm JakeGould: Luckily I live in a society where my phone can stream.
	9:40pm Van in DC: Thank God for internet broadcast
	9:42pm Van in DC: So, Irene, Julie, are you alternating sets? I'm not sure I could tell or not actually. Whoever plays Toyah first would be a dead give away :)
	♥ 9:42pm Matt from Springfield: Letting the Julie out of the bottle! MARATHON!
	9:43pm Van in DC: MATT! yo
	9:43pm Julie: nope all Irene
	♥ 9:44pm Matt from Springfield: I had the pleasure of meeting Marissa last summer at a small show -- hard to believe but Janel is actually even MORE quiet than Marissa is! Hey Van!
	9:47pm Van in DC: First time I've heard Julie LIVE in....wow. A very long time.
	9:48pm Van in DC: Wow! Joe, awesome
	♥ 9:48pm Matt from Springfield: Julie was also co-hosting Frank O'Toole's show yesterday morning...I was listening to that Archive today!
	9:49pm Van in DC: Matt do you ever sleep lol ;)
	9:50pm jon: thanks for texting ken efd
	9:51pm Van in DC: Linda - yes!
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm chris: Hi, Irene and Julie! I just pledged my last pledge of 2015 marathon... did you get it?
	9:54pm Julie: yes Chris
	🥁 ♥ 9:55pm chris: whew, groovy! thanks, Julie!
	♥ 9:57pm Ken: The 91.1 transmitter's down to a power outage. There's several thousand locations without power nearby the 91.1 transmitter in West Orange. NJ. High winds are knocking down power lines tonight. Cant get a generator out there tonight but might be able to get one out there tomorrow if PE&G doesnt fix it overnight.
	♥ 9:58pm Matt from Springfield: High winds? Stay safe everyone, hopefully power and our transmitter will be up again quickly!
	♥ 9:59pm Irene Trudel: Dang! Well is guess everyone's going to have to pledge extra on the Web and from our other transmitter locations in upstate NY.
	10:00pm Van in DC: Just did :)
	10:03pm Van in DC: I do love Linda Perhacs, been waiting....
	♥ 10:03pm Matt from Springfield: Bella Linda...
	10:05pm Van in DC: Amazing how she waited so many decades before doing this. Wow. And still on top of her game.
	10:07pm JakeGould: I was actually joking today about wind being a part of modern forecasts. Now look.
	10:09pm JakeGould: At least it wasn’t a raccoon.
	♥ 10:09pm Irene Trudel: Thanks Chris and Van and Joe and everybody who's pledged so far. I can't keep track of the wonderfulness. But we do need more from you web folks.
	10:11pm Van in DC: Dang. My signal is totally cutting out. Nothing for minutes.
	10:13pm Van in DC: Finally back! Yay!
	10:15pm Van in DC: Garbage can.
	10:15pm Roberto: O hai Julie!
	♥ 10:16pm Matt from Springfield: @Van: Better hurry--the kitchen garbage can is taken but you might still have a shot at the hexagonal one! (I haven't gotten my fixture declared yet, so you'll have to find that out later ;)
	10:17pm Robert: Severe geomagnetic storm under way -- cx to power failure?
	10:17pm Van in DC: I have no idea about this adoption thing anyway lol :) If I get something okay. Already got Bosh though :)
	10:20pm Van in DC: Don Bikoff is awesome. I saw Ryley last week live. Thanks for introducing me to him. GREAT guitarist!! And what a great interview!!!
	10:20pm Van in DC: SVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:21pm Van in DC: I LOVE SVE! She is SUCH a sweetheart!!!!!
	10:22pm Van in DC: Oh my God I have listened to Sharon Van Etten so much these past months. You would not even believe.
	♥ 10:22pm Matt from Springfield: Oh Lord, hope geomagnetic storms aren't a-brewin'...
	10:22pm Van in DC: Ryley!!!!!
	10:26pm Van in DC: I remember Ryley's dad chiming in on the playlist. I hope he's listening.
	10:30pm Julie: the cow is bowing! yay
	10:30pm Van in DC: moooooooooo
	10:30pm Julie: but it is very quiet in here, make those phones ring
	10:33pm Robert: Matt, the Frederickburg K index is only 6, but estimated planet-wide is 8. Whenever I hear songs like this, I always hope they're not autobiographic.
	10:34pm Van in DC: 1. I miss Irene's show in the day time! 2. Julie - if Dark Night of the Soul was at this precise time these past years? I would probably have been fired years ago. Because of not being able to wake up the next day. That's where I'm at now with Irene's show.
	10:34pm Van in DC: SVE!!!!
	10:35pm Van in DC: Tarifa is the best track on Are We There though :)
	♥ 10:36pm Matt from Springfield: Great Sharon Van E track!
	10:36pm Van in DC: I <3 SVE
	10:38pm Van in DC: What amazes me is that nobody at FMU gets Daughter from 4AD, and they are even better than SVE actually. At least, it's in the same kind of thing.
	10:39pm Van in DC: SVE extra, love it, thanks
	10:40pm Robert: Hoping to see an aurora, anyway. I saw one here in the Bronx in the fall of 2003. Too much light pollution to see the colors, but 2 shafts of light extending from north past the zenith.
	10:42pm Van in DC: Michael - I am so jealous. ENJOY!!
	10:43pm JakeGould: I just hope that fig turns people inside out doesn’t come around tonight. I’ve been taking care of myself and being turned inside out would really ruin things.
	♥ 10:44pm Matt from Springfield: Awwww :( I hope Keili makes return appearances!
	10:45pm Robert: That's Ice PACK, if we're referring to Trouble's kid. I made the same mistake for a long time. Kind of the opposite effect, huh, ice pick vs. ice pack!
	♥ 10:46pm Matt from Springfield: This Is The Modern Dinner! Way to go, Trouble!
	10:46pm Van in DC: Julie's show is missed so much. SMKen - bring back Dark Night of the Soul. Please?
	10:49pm Rocco: Circus Maximus - The Wind
	♥ 10:50pm efd: 91.1 is back! (at least for the moment)
	♥ 10:51pm Matt from Springfield: Huzzah huzzah, Erin Go Bragh!
	10:51pm Van in DC: efd majick strkes again :)
	♥ 10:51pm Matt from Springfield: Black Sea Hotel, likewise, ROCKS! :)
	10:51pm Van in DC: I LOVE THIS
	10:52pm Julie: yes! Thanks evan
	10:53pm Ralphine: This sounds like those Le Mystere de Voix Bulgares singers from about 20 years ago.
	10:54pm Van in DC: Oh snap. You are so right Ralphine!
	10:54pm JakeGould: I just checked and 91.1FM is back on the air. Thank you Bob Seger for going “Against the Wind.”
	10:55pm Van in DC: I had one of their albums actually
	10:55pm Ralphine: There was a similar group called Trio Bulgarka, too.
	10:56pm Van in DC: yep
	10:57pm Van in DC: Those groups were about the same time as Master Drummers of Dagbon
	10:59pm Ralphine: Don't know them.
	10:59pm Van in DC: I fully support you guys and local WETA for classical music in DC. Both are fully listener supported.
	♥ 11:00pm Matt from Springfield: Asterisk grant - I believe it's a tiny sliver from the CPB (as a community broadcaster), the Free Music Archive settlement grant, and the Radio Free Culture grant from NEH a while back. But those round to ZERO percent of operational budget! That's all from us! So the DJs can do what they want! And whatever they want, is what I want! :D
	♥ 11:01pm Matt from Springfield: Thank you Van - as my ca$h is tighter now, you're helping out WETA while I prioritize FMU! (Can I also forward their junk mail to you too??...;)
	11:02pm Van in DC: I love you both, Julie, Irene, or at least your musical prefs :)
	11:03pm Van in DC: Matt - I freely give to both. Proudly :)
	♥ 11:05pm Matt from Springfield: Yes thank you, as I like WETA as well :)
	♥ 11:09pm Matt from Springfield: Bonnie Prince Billy - as the commenters like to call it: Pre-Clicked!! (Already Clicky-Starred from Irene's Dec 9 show!)
	11:10pm Julie: it's verrrry quiet in here
	♥ 11:10pm Gaylord Fields: To add insult to injury, when our 91.1 signal got knocked off, that station at 90.7, which I prefer not to name, insinuated itself onto my radio in its stead.
	11:11pm Julie: shame on it
	♥ 11:12pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for clarifying the grants we get, Matt. Indeed they're a pittance in the whole scheme of funds we actually need to run this place.
	11:12pm Jeff Conklin: That Bonnie track was lovely. Need to hear the rest of that album.
	11:13pm Van in DC: Quiet? Toyah would fix that. (I Explode)
	11:16pm Van in DC: Love is the Law. Just saying. Because...well, Angels & Demons. So there.
	11:16pm Slugsadist: So how much does it cost FMU to add another person to the listening pool?
	11:17pm Slugsadist: ...say if they are using their phone or something. Does it cost extra to push it to another person?
	11:17pm Van in DC: About 26 pixels.
	11:20pm Van in DC: Pushes? OH MY GOD. That is like $27,000!
	11:21pm Van in DC: (minus oh, about $27K) :) )
	11:22pm Van in DC: matt!
	♥ 11:23pm Matt from Springfield: Wooohooo! Another Citizen Kafka special! Thanks Irene!
	11:23pm Dave B. (@BuckyKatt): Great tunes! Glad to hear PSE&G has restored you to the airwaves!
	♥ 11:24pm Matt from Springfield: Virginia is for lovers of Irene! And lovers of lovers of Irene, help her out MORE! :) @Van: Irene definitely deserves a tip o' my hat - or rather a "passing" of my hat around :)
	11:25pm Kevlicki: The chapin sisters also did an every bros album
	11:27pm Van in DC: Wonderful to hear you live again Julie. and Irene - you have always been the best. NEVER go away. Matt - See you around soon again.
	11:29pm Van in DC: yeah and every year I did that I lost for the trip. grrrr
	♥ 11:29pm Caryn: Yeah, mine will be 100 % a soda cozy.
	11:30pm Van in DC: EVERY YEAR I GAVE $3000 minimum and NEVER won Primavera. Sigh. No more.
	11:34pm JakeGould: The transmitter was surplus used by the allies to fight Nazis, right? Or maybe those North Korean commies, right? Give em hell!
	11:36pm Van in DC: Julie - wonderful to hear you again. You are so missed. Irene - wonderful show as always, I'll catch up on what i'm about to miss. Matt - You are the bestest. see you on the playlists or around DC soon my friend. Everyone - Happy Saint Pat's Day, Have a great week!
	♥ 11:37pm Ike: I'm a little late here to the WETA discussion among D.C.ers (I'm originally from Maryland) but I'm sure they do huge amounts of underwriting and probably don't half as much of their budget from listeners as WFMU does. Those classical stations are filthy stinking rich. Not that it's a competition or anything. Ha.
	11:42pm Julie: Beth Sorrentino for miinimum of $20
	11:42pm JakeGould: @Ike: As someone who has worked with places who take funding from many “classical music types” I assure you even if the piece of paper says there are no strings attached… There are strings attached to that kind of cash.
	11:44pm Ralphine: We still get Car Talk reruns on the public radio stations down here because the donors want to hear them.
	11:46pm JakeGould: @Ralphine: I’ve tripped off of the couch, injuring myself running to change the station if I accidentally take a nap, wake up and “Car Talk” is on the air.
	♥ 11:46pm Ike: Exactly, @Jake. Another reason to generously donate to WFMU, a rare example of real independence, never taking money to water down its awesome craziness. @Ralphine, almost all of them still do that!
	11:47pm Julie: we need some action here, jeff & william are getting ready to jump in
	♥ 11:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Are cat bucks legal tender in any state or county?
	11:50pm JakeGould: Catitstan.
	11:50pm Ralphine: Spotify has some Bill Evans compilations from The Keepnews Collection.
	♥ 11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I would have also accepted Purrsia.
	11:54pm Julie: no car talk here..we have sportsy talk
	♥ 11:54pm Matt from Springfield: Purrrfect!
	11:54pm JakeGould: What about Purru? Or Mexicat? Or Catnadia?
	♥ 11:55pm Matt from Springfield: Interesting Beth S. take on "Baby Please Don't Go"!
	11:55pm JakeGould: I meant, Catnada. Don’t have a cow, eh?
	♥ 11:56pm Matt from Springfield: Carrsy Talk, for those who don't drive or aren't interested in cars, but like to hear those who do talk about cars, constantly getting off on tangents and setting up Car & Driver Fantasy Leagues.
	11:56pm Andrew: Bill Evans! The model for the main character in the great anime "Kids on the Slope."
	♥ 11:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Catmandu!
	♥ 11:59pm Matt from Springfield: Woohooooooo! Go Andrew in Fairfax! Go Hugh! GoooooooOOOO Pledgers! Keep on helping WFMU! Thanks so much Irene and Julie! Thanks volunteers! Have a good night, everyone!
	♥ 12:00am Matt from Springfield: Ken for the win!
	♥ 3:18am Sean in Bristol UK: I really wanted to submit my second pledge but I slept through my alarm, damn!

	♥ 10:44pm Matt from Springfield: Awwww :( I hope Keili makes return appearances!
	10:45pm Robert: That's Ice PACK, if we're referring to Trouble's kid. I made the same mistake for a long time. Kind of the opposite effect, huh, ice pick vs. ice pack!
	♥ 10:46pm Matt from Springfield: This Is The Modern Dinner! Way to go, Trouble!
	10:46pm Van in DC: Julie's show is missed so much. SMKen - bring back Dark Night of the Soul. Please?
	10:49pm Rocco: Circus Maximus - The Wind
	♥ 10:50pm efd: 91.1 is back! (at least for the moment)
	♥ 10:51pm Matt from Springfield: Huzzah huzzah, Erin Go Bragh!
	10:51pm Van in DC: efd majick strkes again :)
	♥ 10:51pm Matt from Springfield: Black Sea Hotel, likewise, ROCKS! :)
	10:51pm Van in DC: I LOVE THIS
	10:52pm Julie: yes! Thanks evan
	10:53pm Ralphine: This sounds like those Le Mystere de Voix Bulgares singers from about 20 years ago.
	10:54pm Van in DC: Oh snap. You are so right Ralphine!
	10:54pm JakeGould: I just checked and 91.1FM is back on the air. Thank you Bob Seger for going “Against the Wind.”
	10:55pm Van in DC: I had one of their albums actually
	10:55pm Ralphine: There was a similar group called Trio Bulgarka, too.
	10:56pm Van in DC: yep
	10:57pm Van in DC: Those groups were about the same time as Master Drummers of Dagbon
	10:59pm Ralphine: Don't know them.
	10:59pm Van in DC: I fully support you guys and local WETA for classical music in DC. Both are fully listener supported.
	♥ 11:00pm Matt from Springfield: Asterisk grant - I believe it's a tiny sliver from the CPB (as a community broadcaster), the Free Music Archive settlement grant, and the Radio Free Culture grant from NEH a while back. But those round to ZERO percent of operational budget! That's all from us! So the DJs can do what they want! And whatever they want, is what I want! :D
	♥ 11:01pm Matt from Springfield: Thank you Van - as my ca$h is tighter now, you're helping out WETA while I prioritize FMU! (Can I also forward their junk mail to you too??...;)
	11:02pm Van in DC: I love you both, Julie, Irene, or at least your musical prefs :)
	11:03pm Van in DC: Matt - I freely give to both. Proudly :)
	♥ 11:05pm Matt from Springfield: Yes thank you, as I like WETA as well :)
	♥ 11:09pm Matt from Springfield: Bonnie Prince Billy - as the commenters like to call it: Pre-Clicked!! (Already Clicky-Starred from Irene's Dec 9 show!)
	11:10pm Julie: it's verrrry quiet in here
	♥ 11:10pm Gaylord Fields: To add insult to injury, when our 91.1 signal got knocked off, that station at 90.7, which I prefer not to name, insinuated itself onto my radio in its stead.
	11:11pm Julie: shame on it
	♥ 11:12pm Irene Trudel: Thanks for clarifying the grants we get, Matt. Indeed they're a pittance in the whole scheme of funds we actually need to run this place.
	11:12pm Jeff Conklin: That Bonnie track was lovely. Need to hear the rest of that album.
	11:13pm Van in DC: Quiet? Toyah would fix that. (I Explode)
	11:16pm Van in DC: Love is the Law. Just saying. Because...well, Angels & Demons. So there.
	11:16pm Slugsadist: So how much does it cost FMU to add another person to the listening pool?
	11:17pm Slugsadist: ...say if they are using their phone or something. Does it cost extra to push it to another person?
	11:17pm Van in DC: About 26 pixels.
	11:20pm Van in DC: Pushes? OH MY GOD. That is like $27,000!
	11:21pm Van in DC: (minus oh, about $27K) :) )
	11:22pm Van in DC: matt!
	♥ 11:23pm Matt from Springfield: Wooohooo! Another Citizen Kafka special! Thanks Irene!
	11:23pm Dave B. (@BuckyKatt): Great tunes! Glad to hear PSE&G has restored you to the airwaves!
	♥ 11:24pm Matt from Springfield: Virginia is for lovers of Irene! And lovers of lovers of Irene, help her out MORE! :) @Van: Irene definitely deserves a tip o' my hat - or rather a "passing" of my hat around :)
	11:25pm Kevlicki: The chapin sisters also did an every bros album
	11:27pm Van in DC: Wonderful to hear you live again Julie. and Irene - you have always been the best. NEVER go away. Matt - See you around soon again.
	11:29pm Van in DC: yeah and every year I did that I lost for the trip. grrrr
	♥ 11:29pm Caryn: Yeah, mine will be 100 % a soda cozy.
	11:30pm Van in DC: EVERY YEAR I GAVE $3000 minimum and NEVER won Primavera. Sigh. No more.
	11:34pm JakeGould: The transmitter was surplus used by the allies to fight Nazis, right? Or maybe those North Korean commies, right? Give em hell!
	11:36pm Van in DC: Julie - wonderful to hear you again. You are so missed. Irene - wonderful show as always, I'll catch up on what i'm about to miss. Matt - You are the bestest. see you on the playlists or around DC soon my friend. Everyone - Happy Saint Pat's Day, Have a great week!
	♥ 11:37pm Ike: I'm a little late here to the WETA discussion among D.C.ers (I'm originally from Maryland) but I'm sure they do huge amounts of underwriting and probably don't half as much of their budget from listeners as WFMU does. Those classical stations are filthy stinking rich. Not that it's a competition or anything. Ha.
	11:42pm Julie: Beth Sorrentino for miinimum of $20
	11:42pm JakeGould: @Ike: As someone who has worked with places who take funding from many “classical music types” I assure you even if the piece of paper says there are no strings attached… There are strings attached to that kind of cash.
	11:44pm Ralphine: We still get Car Talk reruns on the public radio stations down here because the donors want to hear them.
	11:46pm JakeGould: @Ralphine: I’ve tripped off of the couch, injuring myself running to change the station if I accidentally take a nap, wake up and “Car Talk” is on the air.
	♥ 11:46pm Ike: Exactly, @Jake. Another reason to generously donate to WFMU, a rare example of real independence, never taking money to water down its awesome craziness. @Ralphine, almost all of them still do that!
	11:47pm Julie: we need some action here, jeff & william are getting ready to jump in
	♥ 11:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Are cat bucks legal tender in any state or county?
	11:50pm JakeGould: Catitstan.
	11:50pm Ralphine: Spotify has some Bill Evans compilations from The Keepnews Collection.
	♥ 11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: I would have also accepted Purrsia.
	11:54pm Julie: no car talk here..we have sportsy talk
	♥ 11:54pm Matt from Springfield: Purrrfect!
	11:54pm JakeGould: What about Purru? Or Mexicat? Or Catnadia?
	♥ 11:55pm Matt from Springfield: Interesting Beth S. take on "Baby Please Don't Go"!
	11:55pm JakeGould: I meant, Catnada. Don’t have a cow, eh?
	♥ 11:56pm Matt from Springfield: Carrsy Talk, for those who don't drive or aren't interested in cars, but like to hear those who do talk about cars, constantly getting off on tangents and setting up Car & Driver Fantasy Leagues.
	11:56pm Andrew: Bill Evans! The model for the main character in the great anime "Kids on the Slope."
	♥ 11:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: Catmandu!
	♥ 11:59pm Matt from Springfield: Woohooooooo! Go Andrew in Fairfax! Go Hugh! GoooooooOOOO Pledgers! Keep on helping WFMU! Thanks so much Irene and Julie! Thanks volunteers! Have a good night, everyone!
	♥ 12:00am Matt from Springfield: Ken for the win!
	♥ 3:18am Sean in Bristol UK: I really wanted to submit my second pledge but I slept through my alarm, damn!
