Listener comments!
	9:05am MD: Good Morning World...!
	9:07am fred: Good morning Marty and listeners. I saw Kuniko Kato play a couple of Reich pieces on marimba two days ago
	9:08am Wild Neil: @Marty et al...PEACE. This Steve Reich is pretty...Avante Garde to be sure...
	9:17am Cheri Pi: I approve
	9:22am Marcel M: Morning. Nice opening! Fitting my mood perfectly.
	9:26am Scraps deSelby: Shuggie!
	9:29am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Marty, and Clan McSorley.
	9:30am Scraps deSelby: love that philly soul
	9:41am judy from croton: this song inspires the most extreme interpretations. absolutely amazing.
	9:42am Scraps deSelby: Bleah. I fell down catastrophically a half hour ago, on my hip. (I'm paralyzed on my right side, so if I start falling, I usually keep falling, with a "shit, I'm falling, can't do anything about it" feeling.) Now I'm lying down for a few hours, wondering if I should go to the hospital. Not a good feeling....
	9:43am Sem Chumbo: Thx for this memory, Marty. Wonderful voice.
	9:43am Scraps deSelby: rip Billy Paul
	9:48am Wild Neil: @Scraps-I think it would be prudent to seek medical attention sooner than later. Call 911 if you have to. Take care of you!
	9:49am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	9:51am Cheri Pi: Agreed @Wild Neil, the music can only take you so far @Scraps, let the ambulance take you the rest of the way. I hope you're ok
	9:52am Wild Neil: @Scraps-yeah, do not wait. You can listen to WFMU on your smartphone if you have one while you wait in the ER....
	9:52am Wild Neil: Or urgent care which is often more expensive but orders of magnitude faster.
	9:56am Marcel M: Zer ferk I was just on here last night seeking medical help.We're fallin' apart here!
	9:56am Wild Neil: @Marty-can you chime in on this Scraps situation? Scraps is hurt, fell down hard...might have a fractured hip?
	9:56am tomasz.: yeah, best to be on the safe side, Scraps
	9:56am tomasz.: speaking of medical emergencies, how's yr hand Marcel?
	9:58am Marcel M: Its good, thanks for checking in Tomasz. I got 5 stitches. Just gotta try to use it lightly for a week or so.
	10:01am tomasz.: damn! glad you decided to go in the end, then
	10:01am tomasz.: Dorothy. lovely
	10:01am Greg from ZONE 5: Wha happen, Marcel? Please tell me it was from shredding your axe too hard…
	10:03am Marcel M: @Tomasz: Yeah I think I made the right call... Wouldn't have closed on its own. @Greg: I wish!!!! Dish washing instrument!!! And now I can't shred for a week..
	10:04am Marcel M: Wow Freudian slip.. you can tell I really want to play my instrument.. haha. Thats INCIDENT*
	10:04am bobdoesthings: I just google image searched "shredding an axe" hoping to find a gif of someone throwing an axe into a woodchipper/hydraulic press or something... nothing but guitars! psshhffftthhh
	10:05am melinda: Glad you got your hand fixed, Marcel. And hi Marty, really enjoying the sounds this morning!
	10:05am Marcel M: Here you go Bob: www.mylespaul.com... ThxMelinda
	10:05am Wild Neil: @Scraps-are you going?
	10:06am bobdoesthings: @marcel - not quite what I wanted.... but thank you, it'll do.
	10:11am Marcel M: @Bob: Yr girl Selda
	10:13am tomasz.: wahhh this is great
	10:14am Marcel M: Its incredible hard to grind or break up weed with this damned thumb.
	10:15am Marcel M: Actually nm I discovered a good method ;-)
	10:16am bobdoesthings: @marcel - indeed! <3 Selda!
	10:19am bobdoesthings: @marcel - this injury of yours could be a golden opportunity to learn how to roll joints with one hand!
	10:23am Sem Chumbo: My Sweet Lord, the experimental side of the quiet Beatle!
	10:24am P-90: @Marcel: try using the bottom of a shot glass in a rocking/grinding motion to gently but firmly break up the buds, then use two fingers to remove the unwanted lumber, seeds (if any), etc.
	10:25am Marcel M: @Bob: Hmm... maybe you solved my new hobby conundrum since I can't play guitar. @P-90: That is ingenious! But I found a way to hold the grinder where it worked. Cheating, I know.
	10:26am Mark R: Very interesting to hear this George Harrison album. I knew OF it for years, but I'd never actually heard it until today. Thanks for playing it--I think it sounds pretty cool.
	10:27am P-90: Oh, you have a grinder. So you can use your palm or whatever to turn the crank...
	10:29am tomasz.: lol that's what i was gonna say @P-90
	10:29am Marcel M: Yes, having a grinder is a new thing for me, not used to having it.
	10:35am JP from KC: Morning, all! I see we've got some interesting discussion going about a favorite topic of mine, and a touch of madness in the speakers from... George Harrison?! What the...?
	10:35am Marcel M: This is interesting: "Synthesist Bernie Krause later pursued legal action against Harrison, claiming that "No Time Or Space" (UK LP side two, US LP side one) was essentially a recording of him demonstrating the Moog III to Harrison (this is detailed in Krause's book Into a Wild Sanctuary). Krause also claimed that the demonstration was recorded and released without his knowledge or consent. Krause's name was originally credited on the front cover under Harrison's cover credit, but it was painted over at Krause's insistence.[1] Despite this, the words "Assisted by Bernie Krause" can still be read from under the silver ink on original LP pressings."
	10:38am Mark R: This would be consistent with George's plagiarizing the melody of "My Sweet Lord" and borrowing James Taylor's lyric "Something in the way she moves." I know there's nothing new under the sun, but jeez.
	10:39am Mark R: i am enjoying the sounds, though. WFMU has warped my listening habits completely.
	10:39am Greg from ZONE 5: @Marcel: Well hopefully you'll get a badass scar out of the deal.
	10:40am medifoo: Dis real
	10:40am dug: nah. stopped my feed till its over
	10:41am Marcel M: @Greg: The nurse assured me there would be a scar.
	10:41am medifoo: Dang yo
	10:44am bobdoesthings: @marcel - we should make up a cool backstory for you to tell people.. "see this 'ere... got this one when I rescued the Mrs from a pack of feral dogs in mehkseee-co"
	10:44am bobdoesthings: okay.. maybe not that..
	10:45am melinda: George Harrison continued to challenge the My Sweet Lord lawsuit verdict even after he lost, too.
	10:45am Marcel M: I think in this context, him released a record of that guy demoing it is kinda cool. @Bob: Haha. We'll think of something.
	10:46am coelacanth: greetings Marty and all
	10:47am coelacanth: Marcel, what'd you do to your thumb?
	10:49am coelacanth: ...also, scrolling up to try to find out i see Scraps fell. i guess she (he?) got help?...i hope...
	10:51am medifoo: Take off your mask
	10:54am Marcel M: Hi Coel, just a dishwashing incident. I'm fine!
	10:55am coelacanth: shit, Billy Paul died? i just dug out "me and mrs. jones" again about a week ago.
	10:56am coelacanth: so Marcel, you will play again.
	10:57am tomasz.: heheh, my old band completely lifted that "we've got options on your time" lyric, speaking of plagiarism
	10:58am Marcel M: Yes! Just a week. No biggie! Being dramatic.
	11:00am coelacanth: tomasz, sounds more like homage to me. (though Lennon got sued over homage...)
	11:03am tomasz.: you are very kind, coel :) we were very fast and loose in that band, we were 18 and just throwing everything at the wall and seeing what stuck. there was at least one sample or lift of some kind in every song
	11:04am JP from KC: Thanks for the awesome set, Marty! I really need it today. The HVAC guys are working in the ceiling above my office, and a vibrating office and the deafening sound of a power saw on metal are SOOOO conducive to concentrating on my work. On the plus side, Being essentially trapped in my office by the ladders in the hallway means I'm much less likely to endure annoying visits from the sales department.
	11:05am coelacanth: it sounds fun; but yeah, that would have to be adjusted if you got famous.
	🥊 11:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Friday, Marty fans!
	11:12am coelacanth: Marcel@ 10:45 -i bought a multitrack recorder through ebay and the seller left 3 barely started bits of songs on it...mostly synthesiser. 1 had some acoustic git on it. i couldn't help myself but to finish them. i added nothing but i manipulated what was there. ..i sent him (her?them?) the 3 tracks but i saved copies for myself too. i'd like to put it out there but i wont.
	11:12am JP from KC: Does the name Seawhores remind anyone else of that "blind man at the fish market" joke from the Afroman album?
	11:13am Marcel M: @Coelacanth: Thats cool! What did the seller say? Did they respond?
	11:15am PKNY: HÏGH ÖN FÏRË!!!!!! \m/
	11:17am Marcel M: Off to work, great show Marty bye all.
	11:17am this guy: Aw yea, I'm gettin s#!t done now. Keep the heat on.
	11:17am coelacanth: he did! he asked if i'm a producer he might've heard of, or something like that! -he was grateful. it seems like he had ideas but was frustrated with the recording process. (that's really a guess though)
	11:17am JP from KC: Don't leave us hanging, Coelacanth!
	11:19am Marcel M: @Coel: Haha, that cute.
	11:19am JP from KC: I'd just be happy to get TO the recording process...
	11:20am coelacanth: shit-head me never answered him...but maybe it's better he never know i'm just nobody.
	11:20am Cheri Pi: Pikee!
	11:21am Devin B.: Joe Preston played on this HoF record - as if they needed to get any heavier.
	11:22am P-90: I guess there's a line here, on one side, I might recognize that George was a James Taylor fan and recycled a lyric of his, or that My Sweet Lord is kinda inspired by He's So Fine. And I like those things too, so it's a little part of digging George that I dig where his influences and inspirations are coming from. But when I hear George's stuff, I don't feel like I'M "hearing" a lazy, unoriginal ripoff of those "influences", I feel like I'm hearing something new. He's copped a vibe from something that was great to begin with and transformed it. But (to single out an example, completely unfairly perhaps) when I hear Mariah Carey's "song" Fantasy, I just hear someone scatting and trilling in the shower over Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love, and I wish I were just listening to their original instead. She hasn't really created anything new, there's a difference there. (Sorry Mariah! Sure, you sing real good...)
	11:24am SueAdynamo: anyone else hearing the spongebob theme in this song?
	11:25am coelacanth: well-put P-90. i agree completely. (except i don't know the Mariah Carey song, but that's a common scenario now.)
	11:25am JP from KC: Totally, Sue!
	11:26am coelacanth: Sue, it's so obvious. i read they settled out of court.
	11:28am ChrisVB: liveforlivemusic.com...
	11:29am ChrisVB: John Medeski Teams With Members Of Bad Brains, Deftones For New Supergroup
	11:29am tomasz.: "But when I hear George's stuff, I don't feel like I'M "hearing" a lazy, unoriginal ripoff of those "influences", I feel like I'm hearing something new." yeah, i feel like an instructive comparison is the way Harrison filtered his influences, versus the way a band like Oasis handled their Beatles influences (uninteresting clones of the most lumpen parts of the Beatles, in general)
	11:32am SeanG: ELP mutha fucka
	11:32am tomasz.: YES Deep Space 9mm!!!
	11:33am coelacanth: tomasz, also well-put!
	11:33am JtotheK: been a while since i've listened to this El-P. cool!
	11:33am tomasz.: when i was over for the marathon someone was telling me about Roosevelt Island, and i told them that i'd heard of it because of this song
	11:34am bobdoesthings: anyone hear some of the new RTJ stuff?
	11:34am SeanG: rather be mouthfucked by nazis unconscious
	11:35am tomasz.: oh this song introduced me to Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer as well. most of what i know about US culture is from rap music
	11:35am bobdoesthings: don't mean to interrupt marty's show.. but check in your spare time - soundcloud.com...
	11:40am coelacanth: i guess this is a silver apples tribute band? ...good though.
	11:41am tomasz.: Shadow x RTJ is VERY exciting to the part of me that still really regrets that the Zach De La Rocha solo album that they were both meant to produce tracks for never came out. proper late '90s nostalgia
	11:41am tomasz.: not to suggest that the track itself is in any way throwback, will have to check it out later
	11:43am P-90: @tomasz: agreed, Oasis/Beatles is a great example of what I was trying to say. You'd hear it and think: OK, I hear what their doing, but what's the point? Where's the real pleasure or reward supposed to be for me as audience, vs. just enjoying the original thing they're quoting?
	11:43am SeanG: feeling this
	11:50am coelacanth: i'm digging this too. ..."uninteresting clones of the most lumpen parts" puts it well. oasis seemed to tune in to certain aspects of the beatles, but neglected the dynamics. pretty, but boring.
	11:52am bobdoesthings: great show Marty!! many thanks! enjoy your trip back home!
	11:55am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Marty. R & R in L & A! Lucky you. See you later!
	11:56am coelacanth: whoh. i like this. it reminds me of andean pipe music.
	11:57am coelacanth: Thanks Marty! ciao peeps.
	12:00pm Mark R: My last word on "My Sweet Lord" is he was sued over it and lost. The curious thing is Phil Spector produced both "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine." It never occurred to him that, "Hey, this tune sounds familiar. Where have I heard this before?" But I don't mean to diss George too much. I still love "All Things Must Pass," including "My Sweet Lord," and "The Concert for Bangla Desh" set the template for, and IMHO is still the best, of all the rock superstar charity concerts that followed.
	12:02pm SeanG: All Things Must Pass is my desert island record.
	12:02pm Mark R: This Willie Colon track is a cold-blooded m-f. Way to finish strong, Marty!
	12:03pm coelacanth: Sean, it is an Astounding album!
	12:03pm Mark R: Also George seems like the coolest Beatle to hang out with.
	12:04pm SeanG: true dat coel and mark r. cheers!
	12:04pm coelacanth: and yeah, spector knew. he made the money either way.

	11:00am coelacanth: tomasz, sounds more like homage to me. (though Lennon got sued over homage...)
	11:03am tomasz.: you are very kind, coel :) we were very fast and loose in that band, we were 18 and just throwing everything at the wall and seeing what stuck. there was at least one sample or lift of some kind in every song
	11:04am JP from KC: Thanks for the awesome set, Marty! I really need it today. The HVAC guys are working in the ceiling above my office, and a vibrating office and the deafening sound of a power saw on metal are SOOOO conducive to concentrating on my work. On the plus side, Being essentially trapped in my office by the ladders in the hallway means I'm much less likely to endure annoying visits from the sales department.
	11:05am coelacanth: it sounds fun; but yeah, that would have to be adjusted if you got famous.
	🥊 11:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Friday, Marty fans!
	11:12am coelacanth: Marcel@ 10:45 -i bought a multitrack recorder through ebay and the seller left 3 barely started bits of songs on it...mostly synthesiser. 1 had some acoustic git on it. i couldn't help myself but to finish them. i added nothing but i manipulated what was there. ..i sent him (her?them?) the 3 tracks but i saved copies for myself too. i'd like to put it out there but i wont.
	11:12am JP from KC: Does the name Seawhores remind anyone else of that "blind man at the fish market" joke from the Afroman album?
	11:13am Marcel M: @Coelacanth: Thats cool! What did the seller say? Did they respond?
	11:15am PKNY: HÏGH ÖN FÏRË!!!!!! \m/
	11:17am Marcel M: Off to work, great show Marty bye all.
	11:17am this guy: Aw yea, I'm gettin s#!t done now. Keep the heat on.
	11:17am coelacanth: he did! he asked if i'm a producer he might've heard of, or something like that! -he was grateful. it seems like he had ideas but was frustrated with the recording process. (that's really a guess though)
	11:17am JP from KC: Don't leave us hanging, Coelacanth!
	11:19am Marcel M: @Coel: Haha, that cute.
	11:19am JP from KC: I'd just be happy to get TO the recording process...
	11:20am coelacanth: shit-head me never answered him...but maybe it's better he never know i'm just nobody.
	11:20am Cheri Pi: Pikee!
	11:21am Devin B.: Joe Preston played on this HoF record - as if they needed to get any heavier.
	11:22am P-90: I guess there's a line here, on one side, I might recognize that George was a James Taylor fan and recycled a lyric of his, or that My Sweet Lord is kinda inspired by He's So Fine. And I like those things too, so it's a little part of digging George that I dig where his influences and inspirations are coming from. But when I hear George's stuff, I don't feel like I'M "hearing" a lazy, unoriginal ripoff of those "influences", I feel like I'm hearing something new. He's copped a vibe from something that was great to begin with and transformed it. But (to single out an example, completely unfairly perhaps) when I hear Mariah Carey's "song" Fantasy, I just hear someone scatting and trilling in the shower over Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love, and I wish I were just listening to their original instead. She hasn't really created anything new, there's a difference there. (Sorry Mariah! Sure, you sing real good...)
	11:24am SueAdynamo: anyone else hearing the spongebob theme in this song?
	11:25am coelacanth: well-put P-90. i agree completely. (except i don't know the Mariah Carey song, but that's a common scenario now.)
	11:25am JP from KC: Totally, Sue!
	11:26am coelacanth: Sue, it's so obvious. i read they settled out of court.
	11:28am ChrisVB: liveforlivemusic.com...
	11:29am ChrisVB: John Medeski Teams With Members Of Bad Brains, Deftones For New Supergroup
	11:29am tomasz.: "But when I hear George's stuff, I don't feel like I'M "hearing" a lazy, unoriginal ripoff of those "influences", I feel like I'm hearing something new." yeah, i feel like an instructive comparison is the way Harrison filtered his influences, versus the way a band like Oasis handled their Beatles influences (uninteresting clones of the most lumpen parts of the Beatles, in general)
	11:32am SeanG: ELP mutha fucka
	11:32am tomasz.: YES Deep Space 9mm!!!
	11:33am coelacanth: tomasz, also well-put!
	11:33am JtotheK: been a while since i've listened to this El-P. cool!
	11:33am tomasz.: when i was over for the marathon someone was telling me about Roosevelt Island, and i told them that i'd heard of it because of this song
	11:34am bobdoesthings: anyone hear some of the new RTJ stuff?
	11:34am SeanG: rather be mouthfucked by nazis unconscious
	11:35am tomasz.: oh this song introduced me to Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer as well. most of what i know about US culture is from rap music
	11:35am bobdoesthings: don't mean to interrupt marty's show.. but check in your spare time - soundcloud.com...
	11:40am coelacanth: i guess this is a silver apples tribute band? ...good though.
	11:41am tomasz.: Shadow x RTJ is VERY exciting to the part of me that still really regrets that the Zach De La Rocha solo album that they were both meant to produce tracks for never came out. proper late '90s nostalgia
	11:41am tomasz.: not to suggest that the track itself is in any way throwback, will have to check it out later
	11:43am P-90: @tomasz: agreed, Oasis/Beatles is a great example of what I was trying to say. You'd hear it and think: OK, I hear what their doing, but what's the point? Where's the real pleasure or reward supposed to be for me as audience, vs. just enjoying the original thing they're quoting?
	11:43am SeanG: feeling this
	11:50am coelacanth: i'm digging this too. ..."uninteresting clones of the most lumpen parts" puts it well. oasis seemed to tune in to certain aspects of the beatles, but neglected the dynamics. pretty, but boring.
	11:52am bobdoesthings: great show Marty!! many thanks! enjoy your trip back home!
	11:55am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Marty. R & R in L & A! Lucky you. See you later!
	11:56am coelacanth: whoh. i like this. it reminds me of andean pipe music.
	11:57am coelacanth: Thanks Marty! ciao peeps.
	12:00pm Mark R: My last word on "My Sweet Lord" is he was sued over it and lost. The curious thing is Phil Spector produced both "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine." It never occurred to him that, "Hey, this tune sounds familiar. Where have I heard this before?" But I don't mean to diss George too much. I still love "All Things Must Pass," including "My Sweet Lord," and "The Concert for Bangla Desh" set the template for, and IMHO is still the best, of all the rock superstar charity concerts that followed.
	12:02pm SeanG: All Things Must Pass is my desert island record.
	12:02pm Mark R: This Willie Colon track is a cold-blooded m-f. Way to finish strong, Marty!
	12:03pm coelacanth: Sean, it is an Astounding album!
	12:03pm Mark R: Also George seems like the coolest Beatle to hang out with.
	12:04pm SeanG: true dat coel and mark r. cheers!
	12:04pm coelacanth: and yeah, spector knew. he made the money either way.
