Listener comments!
	12:03am Scraps deSelby: H'lo h'lo Jesse, h'lo people
	12:05am Scraps deSelby: I think I have that Muffins track on a Recommended compilation
	12:05am P-90: Yo Frow & Co.
	♥ 12:06am common: ello
	12:06am Pete L: Fantastic
	12:11am Kurt Gottschalk: just tuned in. totally thought that cate le bon track was a kleenex song i'd never heard before.
	12:12am Scraps deSelby: That Kevin Ayers song is funny
	♥ 12:12am common: hey kurt!
	12:12am rw: Howdy.
	12:14am Kurt Gottschalk: hiya common!
	12:14am Danne D: This is so good Jesse. Got a John Cale thing going on :)
	12:15am Scraps deSelby: Okay, this is also funny
	12:16am Scraps deSelby: But different funny [idiom]
	♥ 12:56am coelacanth: greetings
	1:09am Eric Hat: Holy Schnikees. Staying home for this program beats going out to any stuopid bar on this brownish planet! Beautiful!
	♥ 1:34am coelacanth: i kept a notebook of what i liked 'till about 4(?) years ago, when i started listening via computer because my antenna was broken. i've done that since i was about 14 (?) also. (not wfmu, generally.)
	1:46am rw: How big is that notebook, coel?
	♥ 2:04am coelacanth: hey rw! as i remember- 2 spiral-bound notebooks, college ruled, 2 entries/line (100 pages each?...both sides). the older one must've been 3/4 full, and i think i was more like 11-12 when i started it. the first entry was "lothar and the hand people".
	♥ 2:05am coelacanth: did you ever keep one?
	2:10am sinister dexter: loving the sounds! yes!
	2:11am rw: I remember starting a list of band names in Jr. High. It got fairly long but I don't remember how long. I lost interest once I started doing stuff like getting band names from the dividers at the record store. It was more fun when it was all from memory.
	2:12am rw: Coincidentally the first band name was Lothar and the Hand People!
	2:14am rw: Okay. That's a lie. I don't remember the first band name. Maybe Blue Oyster Cult. Or Pink Floyd. Something like that.
	♥ 2:15am coelacanth: hahaha! i was just about to ask if you were shitting me!
	♥ 2:17am coelacanth: ...ironically....after all these decades and thousands of records, i still couldn't tell you what lothar and the hand people sound like!
	2:19am rw: They had a theramin. That's where the Hand People come in. I think they were sort of psych folk pop but I'm not totally sure.
	2:23am rw: Actually, I think maybe Lothar is the name of their theremin.
	♥ 2:23am coelacanth: the purpose of the notebooks was so i could seek out the music eventually...i guess i should find lothar and the hand people music before i die!
	♥ 2:26am coelacanth: yes, lothar was the theramin, according to wikipedia.
	♥ 2:27am coelacanth: i'm moving soon. maybe i'll come across those notebooks. 'should be amusing.
	2:28am rw: My dad had a compilation LP with a Lothar and the Hand People track on it when I was a little kid. I remember being intrigued in part because of their name. I think I've got a CD re-release somewhere too. My memory is that the CD is a little uneven but probably worth checking out.
	2:29am rw: Moving sounds awesome.
	♥ 2:36am coelacanth: yeh, it's kinda weird that i never forgot that band name yet never familiarized myself with their music. none of their song titles are ringing a bell though, and i know i wrote a song down. (because i always did) ...now i really want to find the (earlier) notebook.
	2:41am rw: It's a pretty memorable band name. I wonder if it was on my list in Jr. High. I'll bet it was. Just not likely first. Pretty sure Alice Coltrane was not on my list unfortunately.
	♥ 2:44am coelacanth: ...along with my later notebook, once wfmu started archiving programs, i kept one with whole episodes listed - each of many djs having his/her own page(s)...just in case i one day got a computer!
	2:45am rw: Good luck finding the notebooks! I'm sure it would be fun to revisit! And I'm out. Good night! Thanks Jesse! Have a good week!
	♥ 2:45am coelacanth: good night rw.
	2:45am rw: Ha! Sort of psych folk pop!
	♥ 2:46am coelacanth: haha! there it is! Thanks Jesse!
	♥ 2:48am coelacanth: i like it! i'm sure much of what i wrote down when i was 12 i wouldn't like now; but yeah it is good.
	♥ 2:57am coelacanth: Thanks Jesse. have a great week!
