WFMU: Brian Turner: Playlist from February 9, 2016

Listener comments!
	3:05pm Lopez: Mighty Baby sounds like the Grateful Dead and King Crimson fighting for the stage
	♥ 3:20pm Uncle Michael: Raga kazoo?
	3:20pm TDK60: That sounds maybe like a sort of kazoo.
	3:21pm Polyus: I was just about to ask, what is this magical instrument?
	♥ 3:26pm coelacanth: hello Brian and others
	3:36pm JakeGould: Nice “Sonic Youth” cover-ish thing going on here.
	♥ 3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Pagan Easter'. Dammit. Whada great simple name.
	3:37pm singing serpent glen: Chuck D dropped the mic on that one
	♥ 3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ProtoRap? Beat Poets? Sure. but immediate antecedent of 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' was good ol' Chuck Berry's 'Too Much Monkey Business'. & before that?...
	♥ 3:48pm Mike East: Is Pagan Easter just the vernal equinox?
	3:50pm Cliff: Yes, though Germanic pagans and Wiccans call it Ostara
	♥ 3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - all Holidays are thoroughly Pagan & then co-opted. Eostre/Ostara was a Goddess. & even Easter is derived from Moon cycles...
	3:51pm Cliff: See also: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:52pm Cliff: "Ēostre or Ostara (Old English: Ēastre, Northumbrian dialect Ēostre; Old High German: *Ôstara (reconstructed form)) is a Germanic divinity who, by way of the Germanic month bearing her name (Northumbrian: Ēosturmōnaþ; West Saxon: Ēastermōnaþ; Old High German: Ôstarmânoth), is the namesake of the festival of Easter. Ēostre is attested solely by Bede in his 8th-century work The Reckoning of Time, where Bede states that during Ēosturmōnaþ (the equivalent of April), pagan Anglo-Saxons had held feasts in Eostre's honor, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian Paschal month, a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus."
	3:55pm Cliff: RevRabbit: what about President's Day?
	3:58pm MenfussMike: No Bill...No Black
	♥ 3:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Cliff:...Cult of Personality...
	♥ 4:04pm DreamCricket: I AIN'T GUNNA PEE PEE MY BED TONIGHT EITHER!
	4:04pm JakeGould: Note to Self: Don’t pee pee the bed tonight. Done!
	♥ 4:04pm Rich in Washington: WOWSERS!
	4:05pm Brainiac: I can make no promises about tonight.
	♥ 4:05pm Mike East: Oh my, I had forgotten about this...thanks for the reminder...I think
	♥ 4:05pm chris: insert more opiate ads here
	♥ 4:05pm Uncle Michael: I'd rather be dead...
	4:06pm Ham: maybe it'll help if i listen to this before going to bed.
	♥ 4:06pm coelacanth: hahaha! ...should i be this happy every night before bed?
	♥ 4:07pm dale: that was simply awesome.
	4:07pm Dean: This side 1? What's number 2?
	♥ 4:07pm dale: that was simply awesome.
	♥ 4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: www.facebook.com...
	4:07pm Cliff: Haha, I just read about that opiate-induced constipation Super Bowl ad on Liz Berg's comment page (I was offline for a bit)
	4:08pm Cliff: Hahaha Dean
	♥ 4:08pm dale: it's making me wet myself a little with laughter
	♥ 4:08pm coelacanth: Hahaha!Dean!
	♥ 4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...best...station...on...earth...
	4:08pm JakeGould: @RevRabbitNov63: Thanks for the link… Ahh, the music of white people!
	♥ 4:09pm chris: this counts as a public service announcement somehow, i'm sure of it
	4:09pm Cliff: Somebody oughta stick this in the infinite remix thingamajig online
	4:09pm geezerette: From "Once Upon a Mattress".
	♥ 4:09pm coelacanth: haha! dale, that must be Brian's plan!
	♥ 4:10pm Huge: "Extended Version"
	4:10pm Cliff: Infinite Jukebox: labs.echonest.com...
	4:10pm JakeGould: Folks, you that phrase “I peed myself just a little bit…” No more. End that noise. Done! Finish! Nope! Don’t use that anymore.
	4:12pm northguineahills: Cool, more Long Island Electronic Sounds!
	♥ 4:12pm Rich in Washington: Whelp! I just threw up in my mouth a little bit- LOL!
	4:12pm boopdoop: i love max ravitz
	4:12pm Cecile: Cliff, those ads were terrible.
	♥ 4:12pm dale: check out the kids dance moves on the pee pee song on youtube.
	4:13pm Cecile: God, the Kelly Family - I remember those late night ads from the 90s.
	4:13pm Brian Turner: Yes, Jon Spencer took everything from that kid.
	4:13pm JakeGould: @RichinWashington: That I’m fine with!
	4:16pm Cliff: Cecile, I know, I watched the Youtube link Liz posted
	4:17pm Cliff: Infinite Pee Pee: labs.echonest.com...
	4:18pm Cliff: That was from the 2-minute Youtube version of the song, it might sound better if someone uses the full-length version
	♥ 4:18pm dale: checking em out now. i actually like 'i'm in love with an alien' goes into some loreena mckennitt territory
	♥ 4:19pm dale: ...and all the young guys look like nelson
	4:19pm Lopez: Miguel is killing it!
	4:28pm Cecile: this rocket mightily. Hey, Brian, Australian TV is making a miniseries about Ian "Molly" Meldrum's life. It looks terrible, but entertaining.
	4:29pm Cecile: Cliff, I'm kind of mad they took one of FoTC's cutest songs and used it as a backdrop for an ad for the man-marmot love association during the Super Bowl.
	4:30pm Cecile: On the plus side, there are a ton of edits of the Super Bowl halftime show without Coldplay.
	♥ 4:33pm DreamCricket: That was rad, I love Split!!!
	4:33pm Cliff: Ceclie, you could also be glad for the royalties FoTC should be getting from it
	♥ 4:33pm DreamCricket: PEE PEE
	4:35pm Honeybear: So -- does song favoriting actually work? Anybody know?
	4:36pm Cecile: I am happy for the royalties. But man-rodent love soundtrack not so much.
	4:36pm Honeybear: I just signed up with the glorious Friendship Society to give it a whirl... but I don't see any links for such a feature -- if in fact it exists
	4:36pm Honeybear: Or is it just vaporware?
	4:36pm Cecile: You click on the star.
	4:37pm Cecile: If you have a past version of IE, it won't let you favorite songs, but later versions and Firefox will.
	4:37pm Honeybear: Ah! which is barely visible (both on this page, and the archived playlist I was just looking at)
	4:38pm Cliff: It works on Safari on OS X too
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth: ...star next to a track...then go to your profile by clicking your avatar or "profile settings" (up top) go to "favorites".
	4:38pm Cecile: that's right, Cliff.
	4:41pm Honeybear: coelacanth - thanks, I just wasn't seeing the stars on the playlist pages (including this one) I was looking at.
	♥ 4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Honeybear: Benefits are: If a song comes up again on another playlist, it will be 'pre-clicky☆ed'. You can click on the ☆ & see who else favorited it, & when & on what Program. You can have your Favorites e-mailed to you. You can Favorite Programs, individual 'Episodes' of a Program, DJs, other civilians like ourselves...& if you send in a boxtop as proof of purchase you get - absolutely nothing whatsoever...Their even more invisible if the background happens to be grey - but once you know they're there, their there, so there there...
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth: yer welcome ...and, Welcome!
	4:43pm hendrix wolfbat: this is my second or third time listening to your show..it's damn awesome...it's taken me so long because i got addicted to the shows of so many WFMU dj's mostly listening from the archives...Evan Fun k Davies, Liz Berg, Gaylord Fields, Chris M, Dave Mandl, Faye, Mary Wing, Peter Nelson, Irene Trudel,...how am i going to save/ keep track of all this amazing music...?!
	4:44pm Cliff: Didn't know we could favorite users too, thx RevRabbit
	4:45pm Mark Bruton: Just a great show. Look forward to listening every week.
	4:45pm Cecile: this is amazing. My favorite Nirvana song and a great cover.
	4:46pm _brendan: Nothing better to listen to when doing library cataloging. So extraordinary!
	4:47pm Honeybear: @Revolution, yeah, that pastel-on-pastel color scheme is kinda tricky on some pages. But it's definitely an awesome feature.
	4:47pm Sue P.: @hendrix wolfbat: don't try to keep track. just let it continuously roll over you.
	♥ 4:48pm DreamCricket: I feel the same way. Sometimes
	♥ 4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Honeybear: & to think they run this thing on a fraction of other station's budgets.
	♥ 4:49pm coelacanth: wolfbat, it's easy if you create a profile here. one of us. one of us. one of us. one of us. one of us. one of us. .....................
	4:50pm βrian: @Sue P: Exactly. That's why I foist no clicks upon stars. I let them be while the music washes over me.
	♥ 4:52pm coelacanth: i like Sue P's approach too; but i'm not that zen! i want to hold on to it...make sure i'll hear it again.
	4:56pm Lyle: Did I ever tell you about the time Tommy Dorsey and I broke into a trout farm in Minnesota and caught our dinner with some worms and a couple of cane poles?
	4:57pm Cliff: No Lyle.......and I'm starting to doubt the veracity of your stories
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I presume I am still thee Clicky☆Slut. I click everything I like as if it were facebook. Like anyone cared how I rate things. Sometimes I think about only clicking stuff I reeally like so it's of some real utility - but I have this delusion of interaction...
	♥ 4:58pm coelacanth: no, but i read the police blotters.
	4:58pm Cecile: no, lyle! I hope no game wardens spoiled your fun!
	4:59pm tom: great two'fer on the counter intuits. love the last jam especially.
	5:00pm βrian: I only click for the morphine drip.
	5:01pm tom: segue of the year
	5:01pm hendrix wolfbat: coelacanth, done! thanks for the tip! Sue P, yes that way too..music wash....mmm
	5:01pm Cliff: Nothing relevant shows up in the top 10 hits when I google "Tommy Dorsey trout farm Minnesota", therefore it must've never happened, right?
	♥ 5:02pm coelacanth: for me, it's easy to get carried away. even though i try to be discerning, my song list is insurmountable! my intention is for gold stars to bookmark it for later reference, but there's too many.
	♥ 5:03pm coelacanth: nice, wolfbat! that was fast.
	5:03pm Cliff: I know coel, there's too much good tunage played on this station to keep track of
	5:03pm βrian: And when you move, you'll have to pack up all those stars and carry them with you. They're worse than LPs!
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth: hahaha!
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth: (Big Stars)
	♥ 5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it would be interesting if one could Rate things by %age, as I used to do on LaunchCast before it got bought out & 'murdered' : years of Rating simply gone...Is why I shy away now from online music stream services...
	♥ 5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - I like to show approval to the DJ & who knows Artist this way. As - how else?
	5:08pm Lyle: We had just finished a gig in Blue Earth. I suppose it must have been one in the morning. I was 3rd bone with Dorsey's band, and most of them were asleep on the bus. Tommy and I were awake, though, and we were hungry. So we pulled into this trout farm which was, of course, closed at that late hour. Over the fence we went with a couple of the cane poles we always kept in the cargo hold for just such an occasion. We dug up a couple of fat earthworms, which was easy as it had recently rained, and before you know it we each landed a nice trout. We tried to skidaddle out of there but a policeman met us in the parking lot and we thought were going to jail. Luckily, he was a big Tommy Dorsey fan, and after Tommy played a few bars of The Dipsy Doodle and signed an autograph, that policeman let us go on our merry way, trout and all!
	5:08pm Cliff: Hey Lyle, are you gonna tell your story or what? I was just joshing with ya before ;)
	5:09pm Cliff: Oops, posted just a second too late! Sorry Lyle
	5:09pm tomasz.: big tune
	5:10pm Cliff: Hahaha, good one, always worth it to be friends with celebrities!
	♥ 5:11pm coelacanth: okay, now it sounds legit!
	5:12pm Cecile: Ken Freedman did a show of his listeners most favorited songs from the playlists of his shows. It was pretty fun and funny.
	5:13pm Cliff: I'm never quite sure with Lyle, but I choose to have faith in him not BS'ing us too much
	5:14pm Cecile: I'm pretty sure Lyle is completely BSing us, but he's entertaining and I enjoy his stories.
	♥ 5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...fishing w/ a traveling Jazz musician in the day - not an outrageous claim...
	5:14pm Lopez: Cecile: the songs I favorite are so haphazard as I'm sure most peoples are. Some days I'm really feeling an atmospheric soundscape, other times I like a bubble gum pop song, and everything in between. I think I'm gonna have to go back and see what I've clicked over the eyars now
	5:14pm ! I X Key !: !
	5:15pm geezerette: It's a great story.
	5:15pm Cliff: Read that at first as "not an outrageous clam"
	♥ 5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...clams are bad notes...
	5:16pm Cliff: Do you think he just makes them up on the spot, or has he been telling them for years and years and knows them by heart?
	5:16pm geezerette: cause it was a trout.
	5:17pm Cecile: Oh, I don't think it matters, Cliff.
	5:18pm ! I X Key !: ! Revolution Rabbit Scary Nine ?
	5:18pm geezerette: I think it's his life.
	♥ 5:19pm coelacanth: i'm going to check the personal on all my Tommy Dorsey records,Lyle!
	5:19pm Cliff: Cecile, I likely have Asperger's syndrome according to my psychologist, so I may be a little more gullible than most
	5:21pm Cliff: (Also a tendency towards TMI, another Asperger's trait)
	5:23pm Cecile: Don't sweat it. Lyle is a great storyteller. I was kind of puzzling it out for a while yesterday, too.
	5:25pm Cliff: Heheh, and he got cranky and accused us all of being a bunch of distracted young'uns too busy playing with our phones. Maybe he's even BS'ing us about how old he is
	♥ 5:27pm coelacanth: the trout story makes him around 90.
	5:28pm Cliff: Hey Lyle, you should sign up for an account here so we can all friend you. Or is that too 21st-century for you?
	5:29pm Cecile: Most 90 year olds are either too busy with life or too busy with yelling over the TV to visit us lot over here.
	♥ 5:29pm DreamCricket: Polska RAWWWK!
	♥ 5:30pm chris: just noticed we lost our hearts... sorry if its already been discussed... close to marathon, then? :-)
	5:31pm Cliff: Hey, did I ever tell you all about the time when me and Teddy Roosevelt were on the campaign trail and we snuck into a farmer's yard to grab some eggs for breakfast?
	5:32pm Cliff: Lyle was with us too, he can fill you in on the details
	5:32pm Cliff: I'm not much of a storyteller myself
	♥ 5:33pm coelacanth: NO! that was MY farm! MY eggs! don't come back you bratty kids!
	5:33pm Lyle: I understand why you would doubt my authenticity. After all, most of the boys I remember from those days have been in the ground for years. Funny that Mr. Turner played the Blondie combo. Someday I'll tell you about the time a pretty young gal named Debby Harry sang with us when I was in Guy Lombardo's band in Hackettstown, NJ. Centenary College, I think that was the gig. Anyway, she was a shy thing, as I recall. She had to be pushed onstage by her beatnik-looking friends. Guy was growing increasingly irritated in those days by his inability to cross-over with the younger set, so he wasn't patient with her. I had to tug his sleeve and wink at him, giving him a "calm down" look. Debby ended up singing a passable version of Sammy Cahn's arrangement of Herman's Hermits, "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter." The crowd loved her. Guy called the gig early and told us to get on the bus. He was silent all the way to Poughkeepsie, but then he lightened up. He was like that. Moody.
	5:35pm Cliff: Hey coelcanth, don't make me have to knock you in the noggin with my walkin' cane!
	♥ 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's a Timelord.
	♥ 5:35pm coelacanth: i was out front at that show, trying to sell eggs.
	5:35pm geezerette: Lyle, you're a writer!
	♥ 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I Want to Believe.
	5:36pm Carmichael: Wow, looks like I missed some stellar banter. And some killer tunes.
	♥ 5:36pm chris: Hearty could probably vouch for Lyle.
	♥ 5:37pm coelacanth: so could the old codger, but he might not want to.
	5:38pm Cliff: Oh yes, I believe every last word that comes out of Hearty White's mouth
	5:38pm Cliff: Carmichael, ask Lyle to tell you a story or two
	♥ 5:39pm coelacanth: are others having sound-fizzling-out issues? on 90.1? on the stream?
	♥ 5:43pm chris: not on the stream, as far as i can tell, coel
	5:43pm Carmichael: Lyle tells better stories than that English roadie in Wayne's World 2.
	5:43pm Cliff: Stream's sounding good for me too
	♥ 5:44pm coelacanth: well, if Lyle is a figment of his (her?) own imagination, he has a home at wfmu. (with the old codger, robert steadfast, professor dum dum, etc...)
	5:45pm tom: any chance of a blast from den mediterande uttern coast?
	♥ 5:46pm coelacanth: Thanks. it was just 90.1. it was really bad all day sunday, but was good all day today until a few minutes ago. i guess it's not fixed.
	5:48pm Cliff: I truly want to believe that there is a 90-something guy out there who roadied for all kinds of musicians and is a faithful WFMU listener and is also capable of using the internet.
	5:49pm Cliff: No matter how implausible that sounds.
	5:51pm Cliff: He could be like that sci-fi writer who composes limericks for the NYT online comments.
	5:52pm geezerette: I knew a 92 year old jazz musician who was sharp as hell, interested in everything, and had the eyes and laugh of a twenty year old . People like that are pure gold.
	♥ 5:52pm coelacanth: he could conceivably be around 80. Dorsey died in the 50s....but i doubt that orchestra had players of too green an age.
	5:52pm Cliff: Larry Eisenberg, that's his name
	5:55pm Brian Turner: Tickets are going fast (local peeps) if you want to see Faust + Jowe Head at Monty Hall 3/28, presented by this program. Tix are on sale now at www.wfmu.org...
	5:55pm Brian Turner: Thanks for listening everybud.
	5:56pm Cliff: Thanks Brian, great show today! And great kibitzing from everyone else!
	♥ 5:56pm chris: yup, thank you, BT! All!
	♥ 5:56pm coelacanth: true, geezerette. those ARE the gold stars. ...i went to a birthday party of a buddhist monk,who turned 108 on that day. he was sharper than most 65-year-olds- and funny! the only thing failing was his hearing, but even that wasn't too bad.
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth: Thanks Brian! ciao people
	5:59pm Lyle: I enjoy your programming Brian. Some of it is a little raucous for my taste, but I like hearing what the young folks are up to these days. I also enjoy reading the comments of your loyal listeners. Good bye for now. Keep swingin'!
	5:59pm Cliff: It was storytime with Lyle today, Brian
	5:59pm geezerette: Meeting those people is a lucky thing, they show you what's possible and have so much to teach.
	♥ 5:59pm coelacanth: Thanks for stories, Lyle.
	6:03pm SeanG: maybe Lyle is Clay

Brian Turner: Playlist from February 9, 2016

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

	3:52pm Cliff: "Ēostre or Ostara (Old English: Ēastre, Northumbrian dialect Ēostre; Old High German: *Ôstara (reconstructed form)) is a Germanic divinity who, by way of the Germanic month bearing her name (Northumbrian: Ēosturmōnaþ; West Saxon: Ēastermōnaþ; Old High German: Ôstarmânoth), is the namesake of the festival of Easter. Ēostre is attested solely by Bede in his 8th-century work The Reckoning of Time, where Bede states that during Ēosturmōnaþ (the equivalent of April), pagan Anglo-Saxons had held feasts in Eostre's honor, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian Paschal month, a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus."

	♥ 4:12pm dale: check out the kids dance moves on the pee pee song on youtube.

	4:13pm Brian Turner: Yes, Jon Spencer took everything from that kid.
	4:13pm JakeGould: @RichinWashington: That I’m fine with!
	4:16pm Cliff: Cecile, I know, I watched the Youtube link Liz posted

	♥ 4:19pm dale: ...and all the young guys look like nelson
	4:19pm Lopez: Miguel is killing it!
	4:28pm Cecile: this rocket mightily. Hey, Brian, Australian TV is making a miniseries about Ian "Molly" Meldrum's life. It looks terrible, but entertaining.
	4:29pm Cecile: Cliff, I'm kind of mad they took one of FoTC's cutest songs and used it as a backdrop for an ad for the man-marmot love association during the Super Bowl.
	4:30pm Cecile: On the plus side, there are a ton of edits of the Super Bowl halftime show without Coldplay.
	♥ 4:33pm DreamCricket: That was rad, I love Split!!!
	4:33pm Cliff: Ceclie, you could also be glad for the royalties FoTC should be getting from it
	♥ 4:33pm DreamCricket: PEE PEE
	4:35pm Honeybear: So -- does song favoriting actually work? Anybody know?
	4:36pm Cecile: I am happy for the royalties. But man-rodent love soundtrack not so much.
	4:36pm Honeybear: I just signed up with the glorious Friendship Society to give it a whirl... but I don't see any links for such a feature -- if in fact it exists
	4:36pm Honeybear: Or is it just vaporware?
	4:36pm Cecile: You click on the star.
	4:37pm Cecile: If you have a past version of IE, it won't let you favorite songs, but later versions and Firefox will.
	4:37pm Honeybear: Ah! which is barely visible (both on this page, and the archived playlist I was just looking at)
	4:38pm Cliff: It works on Safari on OS X too
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth: ...star next to a track...then go to your profile by clicking your avatar or "profile settings" (up top) go to "favorites".
	4:38pm Cecile: that's right, Cliff.
	4:41pm Honeybear: coelacanth - thanks, I just wasn't seeing the stars on the playlist pages (including this one) I was looking at.
	♥ 4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Honeybear: Benefits are: If a song comes up again on another playlist, it will be 'pre-clicky☆ed'. You can click on the ☆ & see who else favorited it, & when & on what Program. You can have your Favorites e-mailed to you. You can Favorite Programs, individual 'Episodes' of a Program, DJs, other civilians like ourselves...& if you send in a boxtop as proof of purchase you get - absolutely nothing whatsoever...Their even more invisible if the background happens to be grey - but once you know they're there, their there, so there there...
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth: yer welcome ...and, Welcome!
	4:43pm hendrix wolfbat: this is my second or third time listening to your show..it's damn awesome...it's taken me so long because i got addicted to the shows of so many WFMU dj's mostly listening from the archives...Evan Fun k Davies, Liz Berg, Gaylord Fields, Chris M, Dave Mandl, Faye, Mary Wing, Peter Nelson, Irene Trudel,...how am i going to save/ keep track of all this amazing music...?!
	4:44pm Cliff: Didn't know we could favorite users too, thx RevRabbit
	4:45pm Mark Bruton: Just a great show. Look forward to listening every week.
	4:45pm Cecile: this is amazing. My favorite Nirvana song and a great cover.
	4:46pm _brendan: Nothing better to listen to when doing library cataloging. So extraordinary!
	4:47pm Honeybear: @Revolution, yeah, that pastel-on-pastel color scheme is kinda tricky on some pages. But it's definitely an awesome feature.
	4:47pm Sue P.: @hendrix wolfbat: don't try to keep track. just let it continuously roll over you.
	♥ 4:48pm DreamCricket: I feel the same way. Sometimes
	♥ 4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Honeybear: & to think they run this thing on a fraction of other station's budgets.
	♥ 4:49pm coelacanth: wolfbat, it's easy if you create a profile here. one of us. one of us. one of us. one of us. one of us. one of us. .....................
	4:50pm βrian: @Sue P: Exactly. That's why I foist no clicks upon stars. I let them be while the music washes over me.
	♥ 4:52pm coelacanth: i like Sue P's approach too; but i'm not that zen! i want to hold on to it...make sure i'll hear it again.
	4:56pm Lyle: Did I ever tell you about the time Tommy Dorsey and I broke into a trout farm in Minnesota and caught our dinner with some worms and a couple of cane poles?
	4:57pm Cliff: No Lyle.......and I'm starting to doubt the veracity of your stories
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I presume I am still thee Clicky☆Slut. I click everything I like as if it were facebook. Like anyone cared how I rate things. Sometimes I think about only clicking stuff I reeally like so it's of some real utility - but I have this delusion of interaction...
	♥ 4:58pm coelacanth: no, but i read the police blotters.
	4:58pm Cecile: no, lyle! I hope no game wardens spoiled your fun!
	4:59pm tom: great two'fer on the counter intuits. love the last jam especially.
	5:00pm βrian: I only click for the morphine drip.
	5:01pm tom: segue of the year
	5:01pm hendrix wolfbat: coelacanth, done! thanks for the tip! Sue P, yes that way too..music wash....mmm
	5:01pm Cliff: Nothing relevant shows up in the top 10 hits when I google "Tommy Dorsey trout farm Minnesota", therefore it must've never happened, right?
	♥ 5:02pm coelacanth: for me, it's easy to get carried away. even though i try to be discerning, my song list is insurmountable! my intention is for gold stars to bookmark it for later reference, but there's too many.
	♥ 5:03pm coelacanth: nice, wolfbat! that was fast.
	5:03pm Cliff: I know coel, there's too much good tunage played on this station to keep track of
	5:03pm βrian: And when you move, you'll have to pack up all those stars and carry them with you. They're worse than LPs!
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth: hahaha!
	♥ 5:04pm coelacanth: (Big Stars)
	♥ 5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it would be interesting if one could Rate things by %age, as I used to do on LaunchCast before it got bought out & 'murdered' : years of Rating simply gone...Is why I shy away now from online music stream services...
	♥ 5:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - I like to show approval to the DJ & who knows Artist this way. As - how else?
	5:08pm Lyle: We had just finished a gig in Blue Earth. I suppose it must have been one in the morning. I was 3rd bone with Dorsey's band, and most of them were asleep on the bus. Tommy and I were awake, though, and we were hungry. So we pulled into this trout farm which was, of course, closed at that late hour. Over the fence we went with a couple of the cane poles we always kept in the cargo hold for just such an occasion. We dug up a couple of fat earthworms, which was easy as it had recently rained, and before you know it we each landed a nice trout. We tried to skidaddle out of there but a policeman met us in the parking lot and we thought were going to jail. Luckily, he was a big Tommy Dorsey fan, and after Tommy played a few bars of The Dipsy Doodle and signed an autograph, that policeman let us go on our merry way, trout and all!
	5:08pm Cliff: Hey Lyle, are you gonna tell your story or what? I was just joshing with ya before ;)
	5:09pm Cliff: Oops, posted just a second too late! Sorry Lyle
	5:09pm tomasz.: big tune
	5:10pm Cliff: Hahaha, good one, always worth it to be friends with celebrities!
	♥ 5:11pm coelacanth: okay, now it sounds legit!
	5:12pm Cecile: Ken Freedman did a show of his listeners most favorited songs from the playlists of his shows. It was pretty fun and funny.
	5:13pm Cliff: I'm never quite sure with Lyle, but I choose to have faith in him not BS'ing us too much
	5:14pm Cecile: I'm pretty sure Lyle is completely BSing us, but he's entertaining and I enjoy his stories.
	♥ 5:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...fishing w/ a traveling Jazz musician in the day - not an outrageous claim...
	5:14pm Lopez: Cecile: the songs I favorite are so haphazard as I'm sure most peoples are. Some days I'm really feeling an atmospheric soundscape, other times I like a bubble gum pop song, and everything in between. I think I'm gonna have to go back and see what I've clicked over the eyars now
	5:14pm ! I X Key !: !
	5:15pm geezerette: It's a great story.
	5:15pm Cliff: Read that at first as "not an outrageous clam"
	♥ 5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...clams are bad notes...
	5:16pm Cliff: Do you think he just makes them up on the spot, or has he been telling them for years and years and knows them by heart?
	5:16pm geezerette: cause it was a trout.
	5:17pm Cecile: Oh, I don't think it matters, Cliff.
	5:18pm ! I X Key !: ! Revolution Rabbit Scary Nine ?
	5:18pm geezerette: I think it's his life.
	♥ 5:19pm coelacanth: i'm going to check the personal on all my Tommy Dorsey records,Lyle!
	5:19pm Cliff: Cecile, I likely have Asperger's syndrome according to my psychologist, so I may be a little more gullible than most
	5:21pm Cliff: (Also a tendency towards TMI, another Asperger's trait)
	5:23pm Cecile: Don't sweat it. Lyle is a great storyteller. I was kind of puzzling it out for a while yesterday, too.
	5:25pm Cliff: Heheh, and he got cranky and accused us all of being a bunch of distracted young'uns too busy playing with our phones. Maybe he's even BS'ing us about how old he is
	♥ 5:27pm coelacanth: the trout story makes him around 90.
	5:28pm Cliff: Hey Lyle, you should sign up for an account here so we can all friend you. Or is that too 21st-century for you?
	5:29pm Cecile: Most 90 year olds are either too busy with life or too busy with yelling over the TV to visit us lot over here.
	♥ 5:29pm DreamCricket: Polska RAWWWK!
	♥ 5:30pm chris: just noticed we lost our hearts... sorry if its already been discussed... close to marathon, then? :-)
	5:31pm Cliff: Hey, did I ever tell you all about the time when me and Teddy Roosevelt were on the campaign trail and we snuck into a farmer's yard to grab some eggs for breakfast?
	5:32pm Cliff: Lyle was with us too, he can fill you in on the details
	5:32pm Cliff: I'm not much of a storyteller myself
	♥ 5:33pm coelacanth: NO! that was MY farm! MY eggs! don't come back you bratty kids!
	5:33pm Lyle: I understand why you would doubt my authenticity. After all, most of the boys I remember from those days have been in the ground for years. Funny that Mr. Turner played the Blondie combo. Someday I'll tell you about the time a pretty young gal named Debby Harry sang with us when I was in Guy Lombardo's band in Hackettstown, NJ. Centenary College, I think that was the gig. Anyway, she was a shy thing, as I recall. She had to be pushed onstage by her beatnik-looking friends. Guy was growing increasingly irritated in those days by his inability to cross-over with the younger set, so he wasn't patient with her. I had to tug his sleeve and wink at him, giving him a "calm down" look. Debby ended up singing a passable version of Sammy Cahn's arrangement of Herman's Hermits, "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter." The crowd loved her. Guy called the gig early and told us to get on the bus. He was silent all the way to Poughkeepsie, but then he lightened up. He was like that. Moody.
	5:35pm Cliff: Hey coelcanth, don't make me have to knock you in the noggin with my walkin' cane!
	♥ 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's a Timelord.
	♥ 5:35pm coelacanth: i was out front at that show, trying to sell eggs.
	5:35pm geezerette: Lyle, you're a writer!
	♥ 5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I Want to Believe.
	5:36pm Carmichael: Wow, looks like I missed some stellar banter. And some killer tunes.
	♥ 5:36pm chris: Hearty could probably vouch for Lyle.
	♥ 5:37pm coelacanth: so could the old codger, but he might not want to.
	5:38pm Cliff: Oh yes, I believe every last word that comes out of Hearty White's mouth
	5:38pm Cliff: Carmichael, ask Lyle to tell you a story or two
	♥ 5:39pm coelacanth: are others having sound-fizzling-out issues? on 90.1? on the stream?
	♥ 5:43pm chris: not on the stream, as far as i can tell, coel
	5:43pm Carmichael: Lyle tells better stories than that English roadie in Wayne's World 2.
	5:43pm Cliff: Stream's sounding good for me too
	♥ 5:44pm coelacanth: well, if Lyle is a figment of his (her?) own imagination, he has a home at wfmu. (with the old codger, robert steadfast, professor dum dum, etc...)
	5:45pm tom: any chance of a blast from den mediterande uttern coast?
	♥ 5:46pm coelacanth: Thanks. it was just 90.1. it was really bad all day sunday, but was good all day today until a few minutes ago. i guess it's not fixed.
	5:48pm Cliff: I truly want to believe that there is a 90-something guy out there who roadied for all kinds of musicians and is a faithful WFMU listener and is also capable of using the internet.
	5:49pm Cliff: No matter how implausible that sounds.
	5:51pm Cliff: He could be like that sci-fi writer who composes limericks for the NYT online comments.
	5:52pm geezerette: I knew a 92 year old jazz musician who was sharp as hell, interested in everything, and had the eyes and laugh of a twenty year old . People like that are pure gold.
	♥ 5:52pm coelacanth: he could conceivably be around 80. Dorsey died in the 50s....but i doubt that orchestra had players of too green an age.
	5:52pm Cliff: Larry Eisenberg, that's his name
	5:55pm Brian Turner: Tickets are going fast (local peeps) if you want to see Faust + Jowe Head at Monty Hall 3/28, presented by this program. Tix are on sale now at www.wfmu.org...
	5:55pm Brian Turner: Thanks for listening everybud.
	5:56pm Cliff: Thanks Brian, great show today! And great kibitzing from everyone else!
	♥ 5:56pm chris: yup, thank you, BT! All!
	♥ 5:56pm coelacanth: true, geezerette. those ARE the gold stars. ...i went to a birthday party of a buddhist monk,who turned 108 on that day. he was sharper than most 65-year-olds- and funny! the only thing failing was his hearing, but even that wasn't too bad.
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth: Thanks Brian! ciao people
	5:59pm Lyle: I enjoy your programming Brian. Some of it is a little raucous for my taste, but I like hearing what the young folks are up to these days. I also enjoy reading the comments of your loyal listeners. Good bye for now. Keep swingin'!
	5:59pm Cliff: It was storytime with Lyle today, Brian
	5:59pm geezerette: Meeting those people is a lucky thing, they show you what's possible and have so much to teach.
	♥ 5:59pm coelacanth: Thanks for stories, Lyle.
	6:03pm SeanG: maybe Lyle is Clay
