Listener comments!
	3:04pm Listening Out There: "Cat Getting the Heimlich Maneuver"
	3:04pm ian: this is totally an improvement, I can't wait for the archive of that.
	3:04pm laughingacademy: that was the best glitch EVER.
	♥ 3:04pm Michael 98145: funky indeed !
	3:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Irwin! Hi everyone!
	3:05pm V Priceless: greets, Irwin!
	3:05pm ian: that was like a proper industrial beat
	♥ 3:05pm Michael 98145: "purchased" good choice!
	♥ 3:06pm Irwin: Yep, that one I could not go home without: $75.
	3:07pm Santos L Halper: Thanks for all these Dead covers you've been playing. This one is eerily faithful
	3:08pm Carmichael: Irwin, ma bruh-THA!
	♥ 3:09pm BLCKDGRD: Excellent Dead cover!
	3:11pm Laura L: Love Ol' droopy paws with the single (or fused?) back leg(s). Is it signed?
	3:11pm ?: so good
	♥ 3:11pm Uncle Michael: If you haven't seen Stanton Moore play live, please do. He's amazing.
	3:13pm M Lindell: Real Estate ..now THAT caught me off guard. In a good way
	3:14pm MONEYBAG$: Not sugar magnolia, just plain magnolia
	3:15pm Brendan: @Listening Out There , speaking of Heimlich, RIP to Henry (another casualty of 2016. Moreover, heres to all the people who made it to 2017 because of him, including a lady (fellow retirement home resident) upon whom he employed his own maneuver in 2016. Now theres a smooth pickup move.
	3:17pm Mayor Frank: Oh thank you. I was looking for music to salve the balm from CNN. Thank you. This is a nice hot bath.
	3:21pm Wilson K: So easy to take pot shots at The Dead.
	3:21pm MONEYBAG$: I prefer to take the high road
	3:21pm laughingacademy: At this point I'm just glad we didn't add the Mighty Sparrow to the 2016 butcher's bill.
	3:22pm Santos L Halper: They go well with pot shots
	♥ 3:22pm Irwin: That wasn't a pot shot. It was a confession of lack of understanding of their musical appeal, that's all. I'm entitled, no?
	3:22pm Doug Werewolf: Good afternoon - thanks for the great music.
	3:23pm listener Rey: Too bad about the Mighty Sparrow. Maybe a remote interview/taping is in order? You can borrow Clay Pigeon's gear
	3:24pm Wilson K: Well, you caught yourself, and were diplomatic about it. This is not coming from the perspective of a Dead enthusiast—I'm not—but I have observed plenty of Dead dissing on WFMU over the years.
	3:24pm Wilson K: Just saying they're an easy target.
	♥ 3:25pm Irwin: WFMU DJs need something to sneer at. It boosts their sense of self-worth.
	3:25pm Brendan: @Doug did you ever find Lee Ho Fooks?
	3:25pm Mayor Frank: The Dead is Dead. Still...Would be willing to go remote and record Mighty Sparrow for you, with u on the phone, on speaker....
	3:27pm Mayor Frank: And I love the Dead...
	3:28pm Wilson K: Early Dead kills, especially when they're covering those that came before them. Not Fade Away/Going Down the Road Feeling Bad, anyone?
	3:28pm Mayor Frank: In honor of the press conference today, can we please receive from you some pure, absolute, Mexican kick-ass music? Thank you.
	♥ 3:30pm ɨkɛ: I love to sneer at the Dead to boost my self-worth. It's fun, even though I don't think they're all that terrible. They're like a sonic version of a really loose pair of cheap polyester sweatpants.
	3:30pm wild neil: PEACE ALL. Got a job. Assistant lab manager!!!!
	♥ 3:30pm Irwin: Mixing dangerous chemicals, Neilly?
	3:31pm wild neil: the Dead used jazz in their solos. I like The Dead!!!
	3:32pm wild neil: Fire testing lab. Gas burners the size of jack o lanterns!!
	3:34pm Mayor Frank: !!!!
	♥ 3:34pm ⓘⓚⓔ: Congrats, Neil.
	3:35pm Mayor Frank: Anything with Ra in it is all right with me. Worked below Evidence Records in Conshohocken. They used FBI wiretap expert to cull sounds from old Sun Ra albums. True.
	3:45pm listener Rey: Diss-Jockey!
	3:46pm Bronwyn Bishop: Congrats Neil, so happy for you man :D
	3:46pm wild neil: The Dead are like "some kinds" of jazz that are puzzling yet later on prove sublime....I didn't used to get some kinds of jazz...
	3:47pm andrewb: Mel Torme said all he was trying to be was the male Ella.
	3:47pm Alison Porchnik: At least he's one neurosurgeon who doesn't believe the pyramids stored grain.
	3:47pm Parq: Good job, Neil. My best man from when I tied the knot with Mrs. Parq has been in that field for some 40 years.
	3:49pm wild neil: Thanks everbody. Monday i go in to sheetrock my new office...well HELP sheetrock anyway....
	3:50pm Wilson K: But the Dead are not a jazz band or a pair of sweatpants. They're a country and blues rock outfit.
	3:52pm Listening Out There: Wilson: True, but interestingly, Ornette Coleman did have Jerry Garcia play on a track one time...
	♥ 3:53pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Irwin, and the Chusids. This one is fun.
	3:53pm Listening Out There: "Deplorable Chusidians"
	3:55pm Jack: Buddy Miles on drums
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I think I like this Hendrix fella...doesn't sound like he's gonna make a whole career outta one gittar tone - know what I mean??...
	♥ 3:56pm Uncle Michael: A very young Mike Finnegan playing organ on that Hendrix.
	♥ 3:56pm Sem Chumbo: haha, RevRab.
	3:57pm Jack: @Uncle Michael -thank you! I was trying to think of his name. In one of the Hendrix docs he tells how that recording came to be, and it's great.
	♥ 3:58pm Irwin: Jack - you ain't Hoboken Jack, is ya?
	♥ 3:59pm Uncle Michael: Yes, The Serfs were recording down the hall and Jimi asked him if he wanted to jam.
	♥ 3:59pm Uncle Michael: And of course...Tom Wilson was producing the Serfs.
	4:00pm Mott: Still Raining Still Dreamin still soo cool.
	4:00pm wild neil: i worked with a very hardcore Deadhead and he agreed the Dead used Jazz but for sure they were a bluegrass or country band. That used rock guitars and other tools of the trade.
	♥ 4:01pm Uncle Michael: One member of the Dead once described the music as dixieland rock and roll.
	4:01pm Jack: naw Irwin, it's just me, plain old "jack". sorry. I could sign in on my official Jack account, if that helps...
	♥ 4:02pm doctorjazz: FOW, GREAT!
	♥ 4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What are the Dead? Jazz prepared the way for Psychedelic Rawk & Gittar Rawk 'cetera in terms of Improvisation. Coltrane to bYRdS directly, f'rinstance. Summa them fellas in Cream knew a little about Jazz - fer 'nother instance...Art School in England - soon as the Draft ended, so on...It characterized Psychedelia - & SanFrancisco particularly that people of different backgrounds tried each other out - Jerry was Bluegrass, Phil Lesh 'Academic' - so forth...Jimi's drummer Mitch Mitchell brought the Jazz to the revolution in Rawk Drumming that Keith Moon had only just made (Ginger Baker inbetween actually) - whilst Jimi was deeply saturated in Blues, Soul & Rawk'n'Roll - & that was one happy musical compatibility - oh yes...Which isn't to say the Dead weren't humbled to be on the bill w/ Miles - they had the sense to be...
	♥ 4:02pm Irwin: No, Jack, it's OK. Just wondering if Hobo J is tuned in this afternoon.
	4:03pm Brendan: I once 'used' jazz. But i didn't inhale.
	4:04pm Alison Porchnik: Irwin, I think HJ is still checking out the new parts.
	4:04pm iacchos: The Dead combined elements of folk, bluegrass, country-western, rock, jazz and avant-guarde. There's lots of mediocre Dead music, but when they were good they were great Same with Ella -- alot is mediocre (some is lousy) but the good stuff is great.
	4:04pm Jack: My last name is Adkins, and there was a Hobo Jack Adkins. He was a coal miner folk singer way back.
	4:06pm Wilson K: The Dead were a touring country rock and blues band. They lasted too long for their whole catalog to hold up. They also lasted long enough to genre bend and "defy categorization." But they are essentially Pigpen covering "Good Morning Little School Girl."
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: The Dead were "jazz" in the sense that free improvisation is jazz. They did indeed assimilate many genres, sometimes in the same tune. They were indeed great sometimes, awful others (took major risks, fell short sometimes as a result. Also as a result of not having great vocalists. Also as a result of heavy drug indulgence).
	4:09pm Wilson K: I defer to the Doctor
	♥ 4:09pm Irwin: AP: Yeah, that's what I figgered, but maybe he's home by now, with or without new parts.
	4:09pm Donathon McCloud: Fandango Spa
	4:09pm Listener Robert: While it is terrible, "Wake and Bake" at least conveys a little joke: saying that WFMU's gone from JM in the AM to MJ in the AM.
	4:10pm berbe: That name wouldn't even work if the entire show was the Dead.
	4:11pm Doug Werewolf: Fandango Spa Mach III
	4:11pm geezerette: I'm high from Lowe!
	4:15pm Brendan: Vive la underground!
	♥ 4:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Congrats on the job situation, wild neil. Burn It Down with Nate K and wild neil.
	♥ 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Experiments often fail - but to never experiment is total failure. That's how the 60s are different from now. True in Jazz w/ Free Jazz as well - but Jazz being the African-American Classical Music - the code obviously is to have some damn chops. & Improvise. - & Swing. Also. Wynton Marsalis - who has been a Straight-Ahead blowhard & stuff - made the point that when we talk of 'Fusion' - Rawk is a branch on the Jazz Tree - historically speaking - so how can it be 'Fusion' w/ itself? I think - people fear Jazz - are intimadated by 'not understanding' it - as if it's a problem in Maths, not Art...but really if you play in a Blues-based form & get really proficient - it's 'Jazz' by default almost...Jazz is too small a word for too much, really - which Coltrane made some comments about in his time...Serious drug use was never an excuse for lack of proficiency in Jazz - & I think that's a Cultural demarcation. Like the Northern Beatles aspiring to Art, & the Middle Class Stones aspiring to Bohemia - the frankly Black & White racial situation in America - Black Artists dressing up - & White middle class kids dressing down...so on so on...I mean - I'm not a Dead Hater - but if King Crimson had played as much as the Dead - it woulda been pretty tight! - but that wasn't the point to Dead culture ( - & a Culture it was!!) ROKY !...may be dressing down today...
	4:17pm Wilson K: Little known fact: The Dead never actually touched hard drugs.
	♥ 4:18pm Irwin: You mean like in the way that cats never actually touch their food?
	♥ 4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My ex-gf went to the same rehab Jerry died in.
	4:20pm flashbazbo: The dead should never have covered Merle haggard. Attics of my life is a good one tho
	♥ 4:21pm Uncle Michael: Everyone should cover Merle Haggard.
	4:22pm geezerette: Good afternoon Irwin and buddies! Congratulations Wild Neil !!! Happy for you !!!
	♥ 4:23pm steveo: I love you Irwin, but it is a sin (A SIN) to play Honey Pie without playing Savoy Truffle afterwards. Thanks for the show today.
	♥ 4:24pm Irwin: I've been exploring TWA under buds at the gym. Great workout music, and so many little details in the arrangements I'd never noticed before. Revisit it.
	4:25pm Jeezy: Haha... I too was awaiting Savoy Truffle...
	4:25pm geezerette: UM, I think Merle has been well and truly...covered...unless combusted. Thank something for records! Am I right?!
	♥ 4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Attics of My Life' is as great an LSD Hymn as there is - by anybody - due regards to 'Step Inside this House' by Roky & Co. The Dead were Muricans. I concluded that 'Folk Music' is anything that - if you stumbled onto strangers on the beach around a fire w/ a guitar - what music would you all know? The Dead were/are exactly that...So - rooted in Murican Music - & transmitting same...
	4:27pm Jack: There is a bootleg "Whitology" 1 & 2. Outakes, alternates, etc. has my favorite version of "Helter Skelter" nice and slow.
	4:28pm Hoboken Jack: Present and accounted for at last! Apologies to other Jacks for any confusion.
	4:28pm Alison Porchnik: Dang you for a good show Irwin. I gots to get back to some critical pre-travel project reading but I can't.. tear...myself...away... Play something that sucks, will ya?
	4:28pm Parq: Wild Neil, I've heard of guest accommodations where you have to make your own bed, but jobs where you have to make your own office are new to me.
	♥ 4:30pm Irwin: Alison - you mean like Ella?
	4:30pm Wilson: Uncle Michael chiming in! Love it.
	4:32pm flashbazbo: There is a demo of honey pie that rocks so hard. He must've been whacking a box or something. Kinfauns demos I thinks
	4:32pm Alison Porchnik: Sure. I don't know. My problem is I can't read and write notes with vocal music on. Too many words to process, I guess. Think I'll just have to ghost the playlist at some point.
	♥ 4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who is the guy going around lecturing on the White Album? Says it's the best-selling album of the 1960s (?!) - & the pastiches of Styles & their Mastery...& I think it's Honesty (individual Writers...& just 1968 in all its' gut-churning inevitability)...People don't feel it's homogenous enuff & that's too challenging - or I think the Mood - or Moods - are a lot to reckon w/...& I think the sound used to be a little murky & ponderous - but that's all different now. I think those are Demos they all got together & did to sketch out the album. They were such writing & arranging Masters - it's always fascinating to hear them routine stuff...They sure worked hard & fast!
	4:35pm flashbazbo: I got one where the single and lp and the label are all the same. Tell ya in a minute.
	4:36pm geezerette: Hah! the cat looks like it's completely given up. Great find!
	4:37pm Dean: Are you sure that painting isn't ... old? Looks kinda early American folk-ish: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/0c/2b/56/0c2b56ecdabc0b458fb79953dbb0a303.jpg
	♥ 4:37pm Irwin: Hobo J - How was today's adventure?
	♥ 4:37pm Uncle Michael: It's a shame Rare Earth never recorded a song titled "Rare Earth".
	4:38pm geezerette: Dean, it does...but it could be pretending.
	♥ 4:38pm Irwin: Dean: I believe it's a replica of a vintage work, or perhaps just "in the style of." But what do I know?
	4:39pm geezerette: (heh heh, UM)
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth: true, UM - it would even be pretty good too! greetings Irwin and all
	4:39pm Dean: Is that what folks mean when they refer to pretentious art? Can you see faint numbers below the surface of the paint? That'd be a clue.
	4:40pm geezerette: ceeeeeeel-O! :)
	4:40pm flashbazbo: Just before they put out the white album McCartney had a minute where he thought it was all out of key.
	4:41pm geezerette: ha ha, Dean. :D
	♥ 4:41pm Uncle Michael: My Franz Kline turned out to be paint-by-numbers and worth less than the three bucks I paid for it at the garage sale.
	♥ 4:41pm coelacanth: hey g!
	4:41pm Ahtie Spheahz: Of course it is art. I could look at it for hours and STILL not be able to determine what kind of demented anatomy is at work with the girl OR the little kitty. Her right arm sems to appear from within her torso... or somewhere? Don't know what you payed for this but I doubt if it was enough. Let me know if you care to part with it...
	4:41pm geezerette: pretend-tious.
	♥ 4:42pm Bootsie: That painting is a goddamn treasure.
	♥ 4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Face reminds me of Magritte - while the general style is like that Folk 'Primitivism' that's naturally unself-consciously Surrealism - a little like Rousseau (is that 'Fauvism?) - or Frieda Kahlo. It's great because it's not 'technical' but conveys expression & the form of the cat commendably - & a good composition overall. Yeah Ahtie - the hands are almost Picasso...Abstraction.
	4:43pm Hoboken Jack: Not a red letter day for the Silberts, but I remain unbowed. Go ahead, just try to bow me.
	♥ 4:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...because cats totally do that & it's rarely portrayed...
	4:43pm geezerette: two words, Jim. Shaw. (Rhymes with scrimshaw)
	♥ 4:43pm Irwin: I really do like that painting. The colors are wonderful, and that cat. THAT CAT.
	4:44pm frulia: Imaging the girl from the painting singing! Hahah
	♥ 4:44pm Irwin: What color was the letter, Jack?
	4:44pm Deam: Plant your autograph on the back of the Kline, UM. Value'll skyrocket, relatively speaking.
	♥ 4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: yin/yang face. & Pablo liked to show ladies & their - uh - pussies...
	4:44pm Alison Porchnik: @Jack - It can't be done. You are unbowable.
	4:44pm flashbazbo: Irwin you are a world champ picker. If I found one of your paintings at a yard sale it would make my year
	4:46pm Ahtie Spheahz: Assuming Mr. Chisud would never part with it, I've already boosted the jpg and will have my very own print (archival, of course) produced. I MAY add a beard but otherwise it is perfect.
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth: it reminds me of someone i know. (the girl) if i didn't anyway i couldn't help but like the painting.
	4:48pm geezerette: Irwin,there's a portrait by Goya at the Norton Simon in Pasadena, of a very squat and sour looking Duchess holding a small, bulgy eyed dog in her lap. It has her expression; either one could easily bite you if you got too close. I LOVE that painting!
	♥ 4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @flashbazbo: Love that re SirMacca.
	4:49pm flashbazbo: Please only one guess at a time....ok. It was George Harrison. Dark horse. On dark horse records and 8 track tapes
	4:49pm Old Dave: Your painting is pretty great, Irwin. Thanks for sharing it!
	4:51pm andrewb: Poe for beatnicks!
	4:51pm Deam: Isn't the Norton Simon a gem, geezerette? I used to head out there from east side of LA County on weekends just to view a room or two. My favorite painting might be the Raphael Madonna and Child with Book. Lately, the museum has been in the news, I gather, trying to hang on to two early Renaissance panels sold to Simon by Goebbels.
	♥ 4:51pm Michael 98145: snapping, cool !
	4:51pm berbe: Is it Halloween already?
	4:51pm geezerette: Wish they'd taught it this way in school.
	4:52pm Brendan: Nevermore!
	♥ 4:52pm Michael 98145: i enjoy seeing the Norton Simon every year during the coverage of the Tournament of Roses parade
	4:53pm Frank Zaatar: Sorry, Beatnik Poe can't compete with Glass Prism.
	♥ 4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Edgar Ella Poe.
	4:53pm Dean: Poe for Moderns c.2010 would be more like, "Qouth the Raven, 'Whatever.'"
	4:54pm Dean: [Inc. typo.]
	4:54pm geezerette: Darn it Dean! Selfishly hope they can keep them. Yes, that museum is a gem.
	4:54pm geezerette: ha ha!
	4:55pm Dean: Should clarify, not sold directly by Goebbels, but Simon purchased from collector who, allegedly, acquired from Goebbels.
	4:56pm geezerette: Oh I know. Tough times in the museum world. Not being sarcastic!
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh well - whatever - nevermore... Dave Emory went on about Nazis buying their way outta defeat w/ the stolen Heritage of Western Civilization...
	♥ 4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - it was all deals...
	4:58pm geezerette: Glad Adele is in Lauder collection though.
	♥ 5:00pm Michael 98145: i understand there is an art of deals
	5:02pm geezerette: RevRab,that word is ruined now. It's covered with orange foundation & powder.
	♥ 5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah see it's a tradition.
	♥ 5:02pm coelacanth: i fancy that bed just then
	5:02pm geezerette: Hiya Michael!
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: hola, gz'ette!
	5:04pm Listening Out There: Herbie 2x today. Wowzers...
	♥ 5:05pm Uncle Michael: The temp here has dropped 28 degrees in the last three hours. Yowza.
	♥ 5:06pm Irwin: Remind me -- you in KC, Unca Mike?
	♥ 5:09pm Michael 98145: ( our poor friends had a foot of snow dumped on them in Portland OR)
	♥ 5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NorthNewEngland will let you know when we're impressed. (Harhar.)
	♥ 5:10pm Michael 98145: heh
	♥ 5:11pm Michael 98145: BTW, Neil's new job sounds like fun; i always wanted a flamethrower.
	♥ 5:12pm coelacanth: this track title reminds me of this link listener "ranjit" posted on Bethany's show... twitter.com... - review of Bruckner's 8th symphonie.
	5:14pm DL in LA: Killer Herbie. Thx!
	♥ 5:16pm common: greetings irwin and all
	♥ 5:17pm Uncle Michael: Topeka, Irwin...an hour west.
	♥ 5:18pm Irwin: I was in KCMO January 2008. Fucking brutal. Being outdoors was torture.
	♥ 5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no obstructions from (literally) Arctic air them square states...
	♥ 5:20pm Uncle Michael: It was 61 this afternoon. It's 31 now. It'll be 16 tonight. Winter Storm Prince is going to pleasure us before it gets to you.
	♥ 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...melt - then freeze over one big sheet of black ice, maybe...careful out there...
	♥ 5:22pm Irwin: I think it's coalescing with Tropical Storm Lemmy, which is atmospherically hazardous.
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: I was too late to suggest W.S. Cantinflas to Ken. Maybe nex time
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: We're getting a day of freezing rain before a day of snow. Perfect, eh?
	♥ 5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - not knowing which simple step may be your death. & in some latitudes they have no notion of this whatsoever.
	5:26pm listener monica: yay shins!
	5:27pm Carmichael: In the Sierra Nevadas, we've had 120 inches of snow in the last 7-10 days. 3 inches of rain in Sacramento yesterday. Guess the drought's over.
	♥ 5:27pm Irwin: Yay NEW Shins. What happened to Broken Bells?
	5:28pm Carmichael: This sounds like the Moody Blues.
	♥ 5:29pm Uncle Michael: Can we use this cover to talk truth about the Doors as was done with the Dead cover?
	♥ 5:30pm Irwin: A Prof. Dum-Dum choice track.
	5:30pm Carmichael: Jim Morrison loved his puffy shirts.
	♥ 5:32pm Uncle Michael: Speaking only for myself, once I outgrew being wowed by the Dionysian malarkey, Jim Morrison only made sense to me when I decided he was kidding...about everything. What a joker!
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Climate change scientists years ago: Fewer but larger storms. But that's all Chinese business PR... Ya mean how Iggy, Alice, Bowie, Ozzy, Ian Curtis, Bunnymen, X, Nick Cave, Mazzy Star &tc. would be impossible w/out the doors? (Harhar.)
	5:33pm Jack: Aside from Morrisons' pomposity and bullshit, the Doors were a pretty good band, wrote some good songs, had good musicianship. Oh, Ray Manzarek was a big asshole, too.
	5:33pm Dean: Was?
	♥ 5:34pm Uncle Michael: "The Mosquito" is my favorite Doors track.
	♥ 5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no a-hole Rawkers...that leaves...um - let's see...
	5:36pm Dean: Franz Liszt.
	5:36pm Old Dave: That leaves Canadians.
	5:36pm Jack: Isn't Manzarek dead? He was the one always promoting Morrison and that Dionysian bullshit. I heard nobody liked him, cos he never shut up. But he would always bring the best drugs.
	♥ 5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Ray was the 'rational' ♒Aquarius apologist.
	5:38pm Dean: Good gosh! Manzarek died almost three years ago! How come I feel like I've heard him promoting one thing or another on the radio sometime during the past couple years?
	♥ 5:39pm Uncle Michael: MMW and the earlier-played Stanton Moore have strong musical bonds.
	5:40pm northguineahills: Billy Martin also did some minimal avant improv stuff w/ DJ Olive they ended at Bonnaroo through Billy's connections. Fun, cheeky stuff!
	♥ 5:41pm Irwin: Billy Martin is a top-tier drummer. Very versatile, too.
	♥ 5:42pm coelacanth: Manzarek seemed like he was nearly as pompous as Morrison - maybe more so. Morrison was just wilder, and an egomaniac. ...but they, the group, was straight up groundbreaking. - and really pretty genius sometimes, despite all the absolute CRAP, like hello i love you and touch me.
	5:44pm flashbazbo: I could listen to the instr break in light my fire forever
	♥ 5:45pm Uncle Michael: To paraphrase Irwin, people I respect like the Doors, but I just don't get them, I guess.
	5:45pm geezerette: "K" was special !
	♥ 5:46pm SeanG: this sounds good
	♥ 5:47pm coelacanth: light my fire is extraordinary, but i probably wont live long enough to ever want to hear it again.
	♥ 5:49pm SeanG: i love break on through and la woman
	5:50pm Mark R: Ori Kaplan is groovy...
	♥ 5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Granted - I wish more Mainstream RawkFans knew about ArthurLee&Love - & a certain other earlier band from Belfast w/ a (koff) drunken Morrison poet & an organ...or even the damned Seeds from L.A. ...
	5:51pm Mark R: I was in my 40s before I discovered "Forever Changes"--played it over and over that summer like a 14 year-old
	5:52pm Mark R: The genius of that album still knocks me out
	♥ 5:52pm SeanG: me too Mark R
	♥ 5:52pm coelacanth: i consider la woman a perfect album, though it's not my favorite doors album. the first one is my fave, though it's far from perfect - just because "the end" is so magnificent, and a few other songs are excellent too. "soft parade" has just one even passable song: "wild child".
	♥ 5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MarkR: The beauty of that is it hadn't been played out for decades already - yet it's in my Top20 Albums of Ever.
	5:53pm flashbazbo: REv Rabbit: Are you a scorpio? I saw Ray and Michael McClure open for Arthur Lee and reconstituted Love. Ray made a comment about wearing your baseball cap backwards being "poseur"
	♥ 5:53pm Uncle Michael: Morton Gould studied his Raymond Scott.
	5:54pm Dean: Great band names popping up here like crazy: Damned Seeds Reconstituted Love
	♥ 5:54pm Irwin: So did Hal Herzon.
	♥ 5:54pm Sem Chumbo: Morrison was a drop-in-any-old-time kinda guy when Joan Didion lived just off Sunset. She said he'd come in to look at himself in her mirrors, amazed that he looked so great after being a flabby schlub his whole childhood. It was speed that did it, she surmised, and she'd know. Her own drug use crops up a lot in a recent biography I read last year. People are strange.
	5:55pm geezerette: Doors music without the personalities & lyrics is pretty good jazz. RevRab, Sky Saxon was punk. Never bothered me that every song was the same. Irwin I LOVE cartoon music !!! Thank you for saving it !!!
	♥ 5:56pm coelacanth: i wish i'd heard forever changes when i was a teenager. my older sister had a scratchy "four sale", which i liked but not enough to make me explore Love right away.
	5:56pm Dean: Doors were a jamb band, right?
	5:56pm AJAY: that Hal Herzon track was just amazing
	♥ 5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @flash: Quite. ...Yay Raymond Scott. & I tot it was about Carl Stalling... 'Forever Changes' is just - Balanced. Despite its' range.
	5:57pm Carmichael: The End was a perfect opening song to Apocalypse Now. And Joan Didion grew up down the street from me, although she's at least a decade older.
	♥ 5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HolySmokes Densmore was a great drummer. & the fortitude to follow Jimbo wherever he stumbled - the band gestalt. That's everything.
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth: Thanks Irwin
	♥ 6:01pm SeanG: thanks for the show Irwin

Listener comments!
	3:04pm Listening Out There: "Cat Getting the Heimlich Maneuver"
	3:04pm ian: this is totally an improvement, I can't wait for the archive of that.
	3:04pm laughingacademy: that was the best glitch EVER.
	♥ 3:04pm Michael 98145: funky indeed !
	3:05pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hi Irwin! Hi everyone!
	3:05pm V Priceless: greets, Irwin!
	3:05pm ian: that was like a proper industrial beat
	♥ 3:05pm Michael 98145: "purchased" good choice!
	♥ 3:06pm Irwin: Yep, that one I could not go home without: $75.
	3:07pm Santos L Halper: Thanks for all these Dead covers you've been playing. This one is eerily faithful
	3:08pm Carmichael: Irwin, ma bruh-THA!
	♥ 3:09pm BLCKDGRD: Excellent Dead cover!
	3:11pm Laura L: Love Ol' droopy paws with the single (or fused?) back leg(s). Is it signed?
	3:11pm ?: so good
	♥ 3:11pm Uncle Michael: If you haven't seen Stanton Moore play live, please do. He's amazing.
	3:13pm M Lindell: Real Estate ..now THAT caught me off guard. In a good way
	3:14pm MONEYBAG$: Not sugar magnolia, just plain magnolia
	3:15pm Brendan: @Listening Out There , speaking of Heimlich, RIP to Henry (another casualty of 2016. Moreover, heres to all the people who made it to 2017 because of him, including a lady (fellow retirement home resident) upon whom he employed his own maneuver in 2016. Now theres a smooth pickup move.
	3:17pm Mayor Frank: Oh thank you. I was looking for music to salve the balm from CNN. Thank you. This is a nice hot bath.
	3:21pm Wilson K: So easy to take pot shots at The Dead.
	3:21pm MONEYBAG$: I prefer to take the high road
	3:21pm laughingacademy: At this point I'm just glad we didn't add the Mighty Sparrow to the 2016 butcher's bill.
	3:22pm Santos L Halper: They go well with pot shots
	♥ 3:22pm Irwin: That wasn't a pot shot. It was a confession of lack of understanding of their musical appeal, that's all. I'm entitled, no?
	3:22pm Doug Werewolf: Good afternoon - thanks for the great music.
	3:23pm listener Rey: Too bad about the Mighty Sparrow. Maybe a remote interview/taping is in order? You can borrow Clay Pigeon's gear
	3:24pm Wilson K: Well, you caught yourself, and were diplomatic about it. This is not coming from the perspective of a Dead enthusiast—I'm not—but I have observed plenty of Dead dissing on WFMU over the years.
	3:24pm Wilson K: Just saying they're an easy target.
	♥ 3:25pm Irwin: WFMU DJs need something to sneer at. It boosts their sense of self-worth.
	3:25pm Brendan: @Doug did you ever find Lee Ho Fooks?
	3:25pm Mayor Frank: The Dead is Dead. Still...Would be willing to go remote and record Mighty Sparrow for you, with u on the phone, on speaker....
	3:27pm Mayor Frank: And I love the Dead...
	3:28pm Wilson K: Early Dead kills, especially when they're covering those that came before them. Not Fade Away/Going Down the Road Feeling Bad, anyone?
	3:28pm Mayor Frank: In honor of the press conference today, can we please receive from you some pure, absolute, Mexican kick-ass music? Thank you.
	♥ 3:30pm ɨkɛ: I love to sneer at the Dead to boost my self-worth. It's fun, even though I don't think they're all that terrible. They're like a sonic version of a really loose pair of cheap polyester sweatpants.
	3:30pm wild neil: PEACE ALL. Got a job. Assistant lab manager!!!!
	♥ 3:30pm Irwin: Mixing dangerous chemicals, Neilly?
	3:31pm wild neil: the Dead used jazz in their solos. I like The Dead!!!
	3:32pm wild neil: Fire testing lab. Gas burners the size of jack o lanterns!!
	3:34pm Mayor Frank: !!!!
	♥ 3:34pm ⓘⓚⓔ: Congrats, Neil.
	3:35pm Mayor Frank: Anything with Ra in it is all right with me. Worked below Evidence Records in Conshohocken. They used FBI wiretap expert to cull sounds from old Sun Ra albums. True.
	3:45pm listener Rey: Diss-Jockey!
	3:46pm Bronwyn Bishop: Congrats Neil, so happy for you man :D
	3:46pm wild neil: The Dead are like "some kinds" of jazz that are puzzling yet later on prove sublime....I didn't used to get some kinds of jazz...
	3:47pm andrewb: Mel Torme said all he was trying to be was the male Ella.
	3:47pm Alison Porchnik: At least he's one neurosurgeon who doesn't believe the pyramids stored grain.
	3:47pm Parq: Good job, Neil. My best man from when I tied the knot with Mrs. Parq has been in that field for some 40 years.
	3:49pm wild neil: Thanks everbody. Monday i go in to sheetrock my new office...well HELP sheetrock anyway....
	3:50pm Wilson K: But the Dead are not a jazz band or a pair of sweatpants. They're a country and blues rock outfit.
	3:52pm Listening Out There: Wilson: True, but interestingly, Ornette Coleman did have Jerry Garcia play on a track one time...
	♥ 3:53pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Irwin, and the Chusids. This one is fun.
	3:53pm Listening Out There: "Deplorable Chusidians"
	3:55pm Jack: Buddy Miles on drums
	♥ 3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I think I like this Hendrix fella...doesn't sound like he's gonna make a whole career outta one gittar tone - know what I mean??...
	♥ 3:56pm Uncle Michael: A very young Mike Finnegan playing organ on that Hendrix.
	♥ 3:56pm Sem Chumbo: haha, RevRab.
	3:57pm Jack: @Uncle Michael -thank you! I was trying to think of his name. In one of the Hendrix docs he tells how that recording came to be, and it's great.
	♥ 3:58pm Irwin: Jack - you ain't Hoboken Jack, is ya?
	♥ 3:59pm Uncle Michael: Yes, The Serfs were recording down the hall and Jimi asked him if he wanted to jam.
	♥ 3:59pm Uncle Michael: And of course...Tom Wilson was producing the Serfs.
	4:00pm Mott: Still Raining Still Dreamin still soo cool.
	4:00pm wild neil: i worked with a very hardcore Deadhead and he agreed the Dead used Jazz but for sure they were a bluegrass or country band. That used rock guitars and other tools of the trade.
	♥ 4:01pm Uncle Michael: One member of the Dead once described the music as dixieland rock and roll.
	4:01pm Jack: naw Irwin, it's just me, plain old "jack". sorry. I could sign in on my official Jack account, if that helps...
	♥ 4:02pm doctorjazz: FOW, GREAT!
	♥ 4:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What are the Dead? Jazz prepared the way for Psychedelic Rawk & Gittar Rawk 'cetera in terms of Improvisation. Coltrane to bYRdS directly, f'rinstance. Summa them fellas in Cream knew a little about Jazz - fer 'nother instance...Art School in England - soon as the Draft ended, so on...It characterized Psychedelia - & SanFrancisco particularly that people of different backgrounds tried each other out - Jerry was Bluegrass, Phil Lesh 'Academic' - so forth...Jimi's drummer Mitch Mitchell brought the Jazz to the revolution in Rawk Drumming that Keith Moon had only just made (Ginger Baker inbetween actually) - whilst Jimi was deeply saturated in Blues, Soul & Rawk'n'Roll - & that was one happy musical compatibility - oh yes...Which isn't to say the Dead weren't humbled to be on the bill w/ Miles - they had the sense to be...
	♥ 4:02pm Irwin: No, Jack, it's OK. Just wondering if Hobo J is tuned in this afternoon.
	4:03pm Brendan: I once 'used' jazz. But i didn't inhale.
	4:04pm Alison Porchnik: Irwin, I think HJ is still checking out the new parts.
	4:04pm iacchos: The Dead combined elements of folk, bluegrass, country-western, rock, jazz and avant-guarde. There's lots of mediocre Dead music, but when they were good they were great Same with Ella -- alot is mediocre (some is lousy) but the good stuff is great.
	4:04pm Jack: My last name is Adkins, and there was a Hobo Jack Adkins. He was a coal miner folk singer way back.
	4:06pm Wilson K: The Dead were a touring country rock and blues band. They lasted too long for their whole catalog to hold up. They also lasted long enough to genre bend and "defy categorization." But they are essentially Pigpen covering "Good Morning Little School Girl."
	♥ 4:07pm doctorjazz: The Dead were "jazz" in the sense that free improvisation is jazz. They did indeed assimilate many genres, sometimes in the same tune. They were indeed great sometimes, awful others (took major risks, fell short sometimes as a result. Also as a result of not having great vocalists. Also as a result of heavy drug indulgence).
	4:09pm Wilson K: I defer to the Doctor
	♥ 4:09pm Irwin: AP: Yeah, that's what I figgered, but maybe he's home by now, with or without new parts.
	4:09pm Donathon McCloud: Fandango Spa
	4:09pm Listener Robert: While it is terrible, "Wake and Bake" at least conveys a little joke: saying that WFMU's gone from JM in the AM to MJ in the AM.
	4:10pm berbe: That name wouldn't even work if the entire show was the Dead.
	4:11pm Doug Werewolf: Fandango Spa Mach III
	4:11pm geezerette: I'm high from Lowe!
	4:15pm Brendan: Vive la underground!
	♥ 4:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Congrats on the job situation, wild neil. Burn It Down with Nate K and wild neil.
	♥ 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Experiments often fail - but to never experiment is total failure. That's how the 60s are different from now. True in Jazz w/ Free Jazz as well - but Jazz being the African-American Classical Music - the code obviously is to have some damn chops. & Improvise. - & Swing. Also. Wynton Marsalis - who has been a Straight-Ahead blowhard & stuff - made the point that when we talk of 'Fusion' - Rawk is a branch on the Jazz Tree - historically speaking - so how can it be 'Fusion' w/ itself? I think - people fear Jazz - are intimadated by 'not understanding' it - as if it's a problem in Maths, not Art...but really if you play in a Blues-based form & get really proficient - it's 'Jazz' by default almost...Jazz is too small a word for too much, really - which Coltrane made some comments about in his time...Serious drug use was never an excuse for lack of proficiency in Jazz - & I think that's a Cultural demarcation. Like the Northern Beatles aspiring to Art, & the Middle Class Stones aspiring to Bohemia - the frankly Black & White racial situation in America - Black Artists dressing up - & White middle class kids dressing down...so on so on...I mean - I'm not a Dead Hater - but if King Crimson had played as much as the Dead - it woulda been pretty tight! - but that wasn't the point to Dead culture ( - & a Culture it was!!) ROKY !...may be dressing down today...
	4:17pm Wilson K: Little known fact: The Dead never actually touched hard drugs.
	♥ 4:18pm Irwin: You mean like in the way that cats never actually touch their food?
	♥ 4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My ex-gf went to the same rehab Jerry died in.
	4:20pm flashbazbo: The dead should never have covered Merle haggard. Attics of my life is a good one tho
	♥ 4:21pm Uncle Michael: Everyone should cover Merle Haggard.
	4:22pm geezerette: Good afternoon Irwin and buddies! Congratulations Wild Neil !!! Happy for you !!!
	♥ 4:23pm steveo: I love you Irwin, but it is a sin (A SIN) to play Honey Pie without playing Savoy Truffle afterwards. Thanks for the show today.
	♥ 4:24pm Irwin: I've been exploring TWA under buds at the gym. Great workout music, and so many little details in the arrangements I'd never noticed before. Revisit it.
	4:25pm Jeezy: Haha... I too was awaiting Savoy Truffle...
	4:25pm geezerette: UM, I think Merle has been well and truly...covered...unless combusted. Thank something for records! Am I right?!
	♥ 4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Attics of My Life' is as great an LSD Hymn as there is - by anybody - due regards to 'Step Inside this House' by Roky & Co. The Dead were Muricans. I concluded that 'Folk Music' is anything that - if you stumbled onto strangers on the beach around a fire w/ a guitar - what music would you all know? The Dead were/are exactly that...So - rooted in Murican Music - & transmitting same...
	4:27pm Jack: There is a bootleg "Whitology" 1 & 2. Outakes, alternates, etc. has my favorite version of "Helter Skelter" nice and slow.
	4:28pm Hoboken Jack: Present and accounted for at last! Apologies to other Jacks for any confusion.
	4:28pm Alison Porchnik: Dang you for a good show Irwin. I gots to get back to some critical pre-travel project reading but I can't.. tear...myself...away... Play something that sucks, will ya?
	4:28pm Parq: Wild Neil, I've heard of guest accommodations where you have to make your own bed, but jobs where you have to make your own office are new to me.
	♥ 4:30pm Irwin: Alison - you mean like Ella?
	4:30pm Wilson: Uncle Michael chiming in! Love it.
	4:32pm flashbazbo: There is a demo of honey pie that rocks so hard. He must've been whacking a box or something. Kinfauns demos I thinks
	4:32pm Alison Porchnik: Sure. I don't know. My problem is I can't read and write notes with vocal music on. Too many words to process, I guess. Think I'll just have to ghost the playlist at some point.
	♥ 4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Who is the guy going around lecturing on the White Album? Says it's the best-selling album of the 1960s (?!) - & the pastiches of Styles & their Mastery...& I think it's Honesty (individual Writers...& just 1968 in all its' gut-churning inevitability)...People don't feel it's homogenous enuff & that's too challenging - or I think the Mood - or Moods - are a lot to reckon w/...& I think the sound used to be a little murky & ponderous - but that's all different now. I think those are Demos they all got together & did to sketch out the album. They were such writing & arranging Masters - it's always fascinating to hear them routine stuff...They sure worked hard & fast!
	4:35pm flashbazbo: I got one where the single and lp and the label are all the same. Tell ya in a minute.
	4:36pm geezerette: Hah! the cat looks like it's completely given up. Great find!
	4:37pm Dean: Are you sure that painting isn't ... old? Looks kinda early American folk-ish: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/0c/2b/56/0c2b56ecdabc0b458fb79953dbb0a303.jpg
	♥ 4:37pm Irwin: Hobo J - How was today's adventure?
	♥ 4:37pm Uncle Michael: It's a shame Rare Earth never recorded a song titled "Rare Earth".
	4:38pm geezerette: Dean, it does...but it could be pretending.
	♥ 4:38pm Irwin: Dean: I believe it's a replica of a vintage work, or perhaps just "in the style of." But what do I know?
	4:39pm geezerette: (heh heh, UM)
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth: true, UM - it would even be pretty good too! greetings Irwin and all
	4:39pm Dean: Is that what folks mean when they refer to pretentious art? Can you see faint numbers below the surface of the paint? That'd be a clue.
	4:40pm geezerette: ceeeeeeel-O! :)
	4:40pm flashbazbo: Just before they put out the white album McCartney had a minute where he thought it was all out of key.
	4:41pm geezerette: ha ha, Dean. :D
	♥ 4:41pm Uncle Michael: My Franz Kline turned out to be paint-by-numbers and worth less than the three bucks I paid for it at the garage sale.
	♥ 4:41pm coelacanth: hey g!
	4:41pm Ahtie Spheahz: Of course it is art. I could look at it for hours and STILL not be able to determine what kind of demented anatomy is at work with the girl OR the little kitty. Her right arm sems to appear from within her torso... or somewhere? Don't know what you payed for this but I doubt if it was enough. Let me know if you care to part with it...
	4:41pm geezerette: pretend-tious.
	♥ 4:42pm Bootsie: That painting is a goddamn treasure.
	♥ 4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Face reminds me of Magritte - while the general style is like that Folk 'Primitivism' that's naturally unself-consciously Surrealism - a little like Rousseau (is that 'Fauvism?) - or Frieda Kahlo. It's great because it's not 'technical' but conveys expression & the form of the cat commendably - & a good composition overall. Yeah Ahtie - the hands are almost Picasso...Abstraction.
	4:43pm Hoboken Jack: Not a red letter day for the Silberts, but I remain unbowed. Go ahead, just try to bow me.
	♥ 4:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...because cats totally do that & it's rarely portrayed...
	4:43pm geezerette: two words, Jim. Shaw. (Rhymes with scrimshaw)
	♥ 4:43pm Irwin: I really do like that painting. The colors are wonderful, and that cat. THAT CAT.
	4:44pm frulia: Imaging the girl from the painting singing! Hahah
	♥ 4:44pm Irwin: What color was the letter, Jack?
	4:44pm Deam: Plant your autograph on the back of the Kline, UM. Value'll skyrocket, relatively speaking.
	♥ 4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: yin/yang face. & Pablo liked to show ladies & their - uh - pussies...
	4:44pm Alison Porchnik: @Jack - It can't be done. You are unbowable.
	4:44pm flashbazbo: Irwin you are a world champ picker. If I found one of your paintings at a yard sale it would make my year
	4:46pm Ahtie Spheahz: Assuming Mr. Chisud would never part with it, I've already boosted the jpg and will have my very own print (archival, of course) produced. I MAY add a beard but otherwise it is perfect.
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth: it reminds me of someone i know. (the girl) if i didn't anyway i couldn't help but like the painting.
	4:48pm geezerette: Irwin,there's a portrait by Goya at the Norton Simon in Pasadena, of a very squat and sour looking Duchess holding a small, bulgy eyed dog in her lap. It has her expression; either one could easily bite you if you got too close. I LOVE that painting!
	♥ 4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @flashbazbo: Love that re SirMacca.
	4:49pm flashbazbo: Please only one guess at a time....ok. It was George Harrison. Dark horse. On dark horse records and 8 track tapes
	4:49pm Old Dave: Your painting is pretty great, Irwin. Thanks for sharing it!
	4:51pm andrewb: Poe for beatnicks!
	4:51pm Deam: Isn't the Norton Simon a gem, geezerette? I used to head out there from east side of LA County on weekends just to view a room or two. My favorite painting might be the Raphael Madonna and Child with Book. Lately, the museum has been in the news, I gather, trying to hang on to two early Renaissance panels sold to Simon by Goebbels.
	♥ 4:51pm Michael 98145: snapping, cool !
	4:51pm berbe: Is it Halloween already?
	4:51pm geezerette: Wish they'd taught it this way in school.
	4:52pm Brendan: Nevermore!
	♥ 4:52pm Michael 98145: i enjoy seeing the Norton Simon every year during the coverage of the Tournament of Roses parade
	4:53pm Frank Zaatar: Sorry, Beatnik Poe can't compete with Glass Prism.
	♥ 4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Edgar Ella Poe.
	4:53pm Dean: Poe for Moderns c.2010 would be more like, "Qouth the Raven, 'Whatever.'"
	4:54pm Dean: [Inc. typo.]
	4:54pm geezerette: Darn it Dean! Selfishly hope they can keep them. Yes, that museum is a gem.
	4:54pm geezerette: ha ha!
	4:55pm Dean: Should clarify, not sold directly by Goebbels, but Simon purchased from collector who, allegedly, acquired from Goebbels.
	4:56pm geezerette: Oh I know. Tough times in the museum world. Not being sarcastic!
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh well - whatever - nevermore... Dave Emory went on about Nazis buying their way outta defeat w/ the stolen Heritage of Western Civilization...
	♥ 4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yerknow - it was all deals...
	4:58pm geezerette: Glad Adele is in Lauder collection though.
	♥ 5:00pm Michael 98145: i understand there is an art of deals
	5:02pm geezerette: RevRab,that word is ruined now. It's covered with orange foundation & powder.
	♥ 5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah see it's a tradition.
	♥ 5:02pm coelacanth: i fancy that bed just then
	5:02pm geezerette: Hiya Michael!
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: hola, gz'ette!
	5:04pm Listening Out There: Herbie 2x today. Wowzers...
	♥ 5:05pm Uncle Michael: The temp here has dropped 28 degrees in the last three hours. Yowza.
	♥ 5:06pm Irwin: Remind me -- you in KC, Unca Mike?
	♥ 5:09pm Michael 98145: ( our poor friends had a foot of snow dumped on them in Portland OR)
	♥ 5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NorthNewEngland will let you know when we're impressed. (Harhar.)
	♥ 5:10pm Michael 98145: heh
	♥ 5:11pm Michael 98145: BTW, Neil's new job sounds like fun; i always wanted a flamethrower.
	♥ 5:12pm coelacanth: this track title reminds me of this link listener "ranjit" posted on Bethany's show... twitter.com... - review of Bruckner's 8th symphonie.
	5:14pm DL in LA: Killer Herbie. Thx!
	♥ 5:16pm common: greetings irwin and all
	♥ 5:17pm Uncle Michael: Topeka, Irwin...an hour west.
	♥ 5:18pm Irwin: I was in KCMO January 2008. Fucking brutal. Being outdoors was torture.
	♥ 5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no obstructions from (literally) Arctic air them square states...
	♥ 5:20pm Uncle Michael: It was 61 this afternoon. It's 31 now. It'll be 16 tonight. Winter Storm Prince is going to pleasure us before it gets to you.
	♥ 5:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...melt - then freeze over one big sheet of black ice, maybe...careful out there...
	♥ 5:22pm Irwin: I think it's coalescing with Tropical Storm Lemmy, which is atmospherically hazardous.
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: I was too late to suggest W.S. Cantinflas to Ken. Maybe nex time
	♥ 5:23pm Uncle Michael: We're getting a day of freezing rain before a day of snow. Perfect, eh?
	♥ 5:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - not knowing which simple step may be your death. & in some latitudes they have no notion of this whatsoever.
	5:26pm listener monica: yay shins!
	5:27pm Carmichael: In the Sierra Nevadas, we've had 120 inches of snow in the last 7-10 days. 3 inches of rain in Sacramento yesterday. Guess the drought's over.
	♥ 5:27pm Irwin: Yay NEW Shins. What happened to Broken Bells?
	5:28pm Carmichael: This sounds like the Moody Blues.
	♥ 5:29pm Uncle Michael: Can we use this cover to talk truth about the Doors as was done with the Dead cover?
	♥ 5:30pm Irwin: A Prof. Dum-Dum choice track.
	5:30pm Carmichael: Jim Morrison loved his puffy shirts.
	♥ 5:32pm Uncle Michael: Speaking only for myself, once I outgrew being wowed by the Dionysian malarkey, Jim Morrison only made sense to me when I decided he was kidding...about everything. What a joker!
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Climate change scientists years ago: Fewer but larger storms. But that's all Chinese business PR... Ya mean how Iggy, Alice, Bowie, Ozzy, Ian Curtis, Bunnymen, X, Nick Cave, Mazzy Star &tc. would be impossible w/out the doors? (Harhar.)
	5:33pm Jack: Aside from Morrisons' pomposity and bullshit, the Doors were a pretty good band, wrote some good songs, had good musicianship. Oh, Ray Manzarek was a big asshole, too.
	5:33pm Dean: Was?
	♥ 5:34pm Uncle Michael: "The Mosquito" is my favorite Doors track.
	♥ 5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...no a-hole Rawkers...that leaves...um - let's see...
	5:36pm Dean: Franz Liszt.
	5:36pm Old Dave: That leaves Canadians.
	5:36pm Jack: Isn't Manzarek dead? He was the one always promoting Morrison and that Dionysian bullshit. I heard nobody liked him, cos he never shut up. But he would always bring the best drugs.
	♥ 5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Ray was the 'rational' ♒Aquarius apologist.
	5:38pm Dean: Good gosh! Manzarek died almost three years ago! How come I feel like I've heard him promoting one thing or another on the radio sometime during the past couple years?
	♥ 5:39pm Uncle Michael: MMW and the earlier-played Stanton Moore have strong musical bonds.
	5:40pm northguineahills: Billy Martin also did some minimal avant improv stuff w/ DJ Olive they ended at Bonnaroo through Billy's connections. Fun, cheeky stuff!
	♥ 5:41pm Irwin: Billy Martin is a top-tier drummer. Very versatile, too.
	♥ 5:42pm coelacanth: Manzarek seemed like he was nearly as pompous as Morrison - maybe more so. Morrison was just wilder, and an egomaniac. ...but they, the group, was straight up groundbreaking. - and really pretty genius sometimes, despite all the absolute CRAP, like hello i love you and touch me.
	5:44pm flashbazbo: I could listen to the instr break in light my fire forever
	♥ 5:45pm Uncle Michael: To paraphrase Irwin, people I respect like the Doors, but I just don't get them, I guess.
	5:45pm geezerette: "K" was special !
	♥ 5:46pm SeanG: this sounds good
	♥ 5:47pm coelacanth: light my fire is extraordinary, but i probably wont live long enough to ever want to hear it again.
	♥ 5:49pm SeanG: i love break on through and la woman
	5:50pm Mark R: Ori Kaplan is groovy...
	♥ 5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Granted - I wish more Mainstream RawkFans knew about ArthurLee&Love - & a certain other earlier band from Belfast w/ a (koff) drunken Morrison poet & an organ...or even the damned Seeds from L.A. ...
	5:51pm Mark R: I was in my 40s before I discovered "Forever Changes"--played it over and over that summer like a 14 year-old
	5:52pm Mark R: The genius of that album still knocks me out
	♥ 5:52pm SeanG: me too Mark R
	♥ 5:52pm coelacanth: i consider la woman a perfect album, though it's not my favorite doors album. the first one is my fave, though it's far from perfect - just because "the end" is so magnificent, and a few other songs are excellent too. "soft parade" has just one even passable song: "wild child".
	♥ 5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MarkR: The beauty of that is it hadn't been played out for decades already - yet it's in my Top20 Albums of Ever.
	5:53pm flashbazbo: REv Rabbit: Are you a scorpio? I saw Ray and Michael McClure open for Arthur Lee and reconstituted Love. Ray made a comment about wearing your baseball cap backwards being "poseur"
	♥ 5:53pm Uncle Michael: Morton Gould studied his Raymond Scott.
	5:54pm Dean: Great band names popping up here like crazy: Damned Seeds Reconstituted Love
	♥ 5:54pm Irwin: So did Hal Herzon.
	♥ 5:54pm Sem Chumbo: Morrison was a drop-in-any-old-time kinda guy when Joan Didion lived just off Sunset. She said he'd come in to look at himself in her mirrors, amazed that he looked so great after being a flabby schlub his whole childhood. It was speed that did it, she surmised, and she'd know. Her own drug use crops up a lot in a recent biography I read last year. People are strange.
	5:55pm geezerette: Doors music without the personalities & lyrics is pretty good jazz. RevRab, Sky Saxon was punk. Never bothered me that every song was the same. Irwin I LOVE cartoon music !!! Thank you for saving it !!!
	♥ 5:56pm coelacanth: i wish i'd heard forever changes when i was a teenager. my older sister had a scratchy "four sale", which i liked but not enough to make me explore Love right away.
	5:56pm Dean: Doors were a jamb band, right?
	5:56pm AJAY: that Hal Herzon track was just amazing
	♥ 5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @flash: Quite. ...Yay Raymond Scott. & I tot it was about Carl Stalling... 'Forever Changes' is just - Balanced. Despite its' range.
	5:57pm Carmichael: The End was a perfect opening song to Apocalypse Now. And Joan Didion grew up down the street from me, although she's at least a decade older.
	♥ 5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HolySmokes Densmore was a great drummer. & the fortitude to follow Jimbo wherever he stumbled - the band gestalt. That's everything.
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth: Thanks Irwin
	♥ 6:01pm SeanG: thanks for the show Irwin
