He was a very melodic and beautiful composer and player, very McCoy Tynerish and Bacharachish. Should a had a hit. RIP

	♥ 4:32pm mcgreivey: I just smile and nod and tell her to finish her homework or I'll take au her iPod and make her clean her room eeeeoooo
	♥ 4:33pm mcgreivey: *away
	4:34pm Jeff: "No, you're too weird!"
	4:35pm Jeff: "No, you're not weird enough!"
	4:35pm Jeff: The music is rubber and you're glue...
	4:36pm Dean: Patience. In time, she'll accept it. My 10YO these days expresses concern when weekend mornings I am not listening to WFMU.
	4:36pm Fred: its the uk-ular option Scott
	4:36pm Marc15: Tell the child to "live with it "
	4:36pm JakeGould: Just tell the 10 year old to get you another can of beer.
	4:36pm TDK60: I've heard some weird tunes on WFMU before. It made me feel strange. Then, I read something about such strangeness being a necessary part of art -- that it might help us imagine new things. Maybe.
	🧩 ♥ 4:38pm Fine-aight: "It's good for you. No dessert until you've listened to all your weird!"
	♥ 4:38pm unpopularfred: "you're not weird enough."
	4:38pm Linda Lee: 'what's 'weird' mean?' depending on the answer you know where to go with the conversation.
	♥ 4:38pm mcgreivey: My dad had me mixing drinks for him at 10, so he didn't have to walk into the other room while Duke Ellington was still playing on the gramophone.
	♥ 4:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Whew! I haven't missed the entire show! Hi Scott and all the comments-page pals.
	4:39pm Dean: This is for @mcgreivey: https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Mix-Me-Drink-Use/dp/1932416455
	♥ 4:41pm Bas NL: Wendy!!!!!
	4:41pm Karl Ward: Perform the entire Einstein on the Beach opera with just your mouth. The hours and hours of it.
	4:41pm Jeff: The word weird says more about the person who uses it than about what's nominally being described.
	♥ 4:41pm rsj: i just call them donna trump
	♥ 4:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bas!!! <3
	4:41pm Marc15: Tell the child to go to her room if she does not like music, so she won't have to listen
	♥ 4:42pm mcgreivey: Oh, now she's turned up the iPod to tune me out. I might have to mean dad now.
	♥ 4:42pm rsj: that really offends them
	♥ 4:42pm mcgreivey: *to be mean dad
	4:43pm Linda Lee: she's at that age where she's finally figuring stuff out & what she can't figure out is really offensive! :-)
	4:43pm steve: wow auditions are almost over already
	♥ 4:44pm mcgreivey: ^true And I'm putting off standing up to go to the kitchen to start making dinner. Domestic life.
	4:44pm steve: so what happens in the mornings when they're over? i thought Ken said the decision wouldn't be made til post marathon?
	4:46pm Linda Lee: right Jeff! it's totally subjective! :-D
	4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CLASSICK.
	♥ 4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: From the Norse 'wyrd' : en.wikipedia.org... - in the Runes - it's the blank one.
	4:47pm Fred: this singer sounds like Irwin's friend Amanda...
	4:48pm Anonymous Coward: Fred beat me to it.
	4:49pm JakeGould: To be fair, I won a copy of Kraftwerk's "Computerworld" in a promo contest when I was 14 and it upset me enough to break it in pieces and toss it in the trash.
	4:50pm Linda Lee: see? easily offended at that age :-)
	♥ 4:50pm mcgreivey: Someone should record an album entirely in Old English. That would be weird.
	4:51pm Linda Lee: what's she up to now, mcgreivey?
	♥ 4:51pm mcgreivey: She's not offended; just bemused.
	4:51pm Linda Lee: good girl! :-D
	♥ 4:52pm mcgreivey: She's hard at work. Noise to the grindstone.
	4:53pm Linda Lee: noise to the grindstone? :-D
	4:53pm Dean: Someone has recorded a DVD entirely in Old English. Ben Bagby of Sequentia recites Beowulf: http://bagbybeowulf.com/video/index.html
	♥ 4:53pm mcgreivey: I guess the music's not weird anymore. Dang. Not that I don't like the music, but maybe it bothers me that it's no longer bothering her.
	4:54pm Linda Lee: brava! progress! :-)
	4:55pm Linda Lee: you're such a dad, man. :-D
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - but we're weird & we're wonderful.
	♥ 4:59pm Michael 98145: [ that would be a Great name for a show : Noise to the Grindstone ]
	4:59pm Linda Lee: we've got electric boots & mohair suits!
	5:00pm Linda Lee: i thought the same thing Michael! exactly! :-D
	♥ 5:00pm mcgreivey: She's laughing at this one (The Viper?). Is that good or bad?
	5:01pm steve: whenever my students say "this is weird/boring/confusing etc" my stock response is "life if weird/boring/confusing etc".
	5:02pm Linda Lee: good one steve. simple & correct.
	5:02pm TDK60: I've also heard some uncanny music on WFMU before. True story.
	♥ 5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Humour is a sign of Intelligence. I was told.
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: ... some of it is even off kilter
	5:03pm steve: works on any young person from pre-K to college!
	♥ 5:06pm mcgreivey: Uncanny? I think she would like Can, actually. Maybe I'll play some for her. After Scott's show is over, bien sûr.
	5:07pm ^^^^^^^^^tttttpppppp^^^^: #%^&&***(()))(&^%$#!!!!
	5:07pm MayorFrank: Hello everyone. Lots of snow in Andover, Mass.
	♥ 5:07pm mcgreivey: ^^^^That's weird.
	5:08pm Linda Lee: what a weird, wonderful time in pop the late 70s ~ early 80s were. what a fine time it was too.
	5:08pm TDK60: It's weirdly snowing in Andover.
	♥ 5:08pm mcgreivey: The snow isn't weird.
	5:09pm Linda Lee: still snowing there MayorFrank? finally done, here in the catskills. a good 2.5 feet on the ground now. knee-high for wee me.
	5:09pm MayorFrank: It's not snowing anymore.
	5:10pm TDK60: And the snow is over in Andover.
	5:10pm Linda Lee: my cats love the Asmus Tietchens track. they're weird.
	5:10pm MayorFrank: We got a good foot. Maine is suffering. Lots of snow there, Portland to Augusta.
	5:12pm Linda Lee: fuel for the flowers .. & a drink for the New York metro area, is our snow. we provide all the water there.
	5:14pm MayorFrank: Linda Lee: YOU DO NOT!
	5:14pm Linda Lee: we do! :-D
	5:15pm djsheilab: I'm sitting in traffic on the west side highway, with a beautiful view of the Hustler Club, and just wanted to say I'm enjoying this atmospheric set.
	5:15pm TDK60: DJ Sheila!
	5:15pm Linda Lee: hey there SheilaB! fancy meeting you here! in your car! :-D
	♥ 5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Economics are important to understand. This is non-commercial, listener supported. The other stuff is from an increasingly top-down Industry. We choose this specifically because it is 'narrowcasting' - & not fed to us w/out consent... Always recommend book 'This is Your Brain On Music' - which posits evidence that the appeal of Music to the Brain depends on a combo & balance of predictability & novelty (which is kinda self-evident & makes sense in hindsight). The next question is why say FMUvians' needles tick so much farther in the direction of Novelty. Our brains likely process (&/or have processed) more Music than average - & / or - faster - & it becomes Predictable to us more readily...
	♥ 5:17pm Bas NL: Happy sounds.. weird, but happy weird..
	5:17pm MayorFrank: It would actually be nice if NYC got it's water from Maine. It could run down pipes, under the LI Sound, over the LIRR tracks (beside them) and rest in Union Pool. (this is a very nice track Scott)
	5:19pm MayorFrank: Props to the DJ Scott Williams.
	5:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: when I grow up, I hope to be happy weird.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: more likely they'd run the system to join up with the existing system underground .. iffen they did run water from Maine. & if we keep seeing low snow totals on New York the way we have been ... they might have to ..
	5:22pm ronald clontle: Who wants to be my friend?
	♥ 5:23pm Scott Williams: Thanks MayorFrank! Hey Sheila!
	5:23pm MayorFrank: So Maine does send water to NYC?
	5:25pm Old Dave: Yes, on trucks that say "Poland Springs" on the side.
	♥ 5:25pm Michael 98145: @RRN63, i really don't understand why MOST people want to hear the same music over and over and over and over
	5:26pm Linda Lee: they do send bottles ..
	5:26pm still b/p: Oh, yes, Nestle Poland Spring is ssssssucking the Maine water out of the ground bigly and trucking it down for NY shelves and throats.
	5:26pm MayorFrank: The future? Plastic. @PolandSpring.
	5:27pm Linda Lee: bringing the destruction back home that they've visited on agro communities worldwide for decades.. that seems to be the theme now ..
	♥ 5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Michael98145: Zappa spoke well about different types of relating to Music in Society. To most it's wallpaper - the predictability is the very thing they like, I think. It remains peripheral & doesn't disturb thot. To us - it's more like the Center of the room, & our focus rejects sameness.
	5:30pm Cooh John: Baby Be Mine is a great song for my valentine.
	5:30pm MayorFrank: I love this agro?-Triangle-drop-nineteens vibe. Where the Drop Nineteens from the triangle?
	♥ 5:31pm Michael 98145: ... well put, RRN63
	5:31pm JakeGould: I saw a Nestle truck today that highlighted all the different water they deliver. Also known as our own reservoir water being resold to us! Grrr!
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NestlePrez: 'People do not have a Right to water.'
	5:32pm JakeGould: My N train is making all local stops. What a wonderful treat!
	5:33pm Old Dave: Amen, Rev. Long live WFMU!
	♥ 5:33pm mcgreivey: Skywave: I dug that. Need to track me down a copy.
	♥ 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Flawless set btw. + !
	5:35pm Linda Lee: last gasp capitalism. .. grabbing up resources while it's still relatively easy to do so. convincing the rest of us they're entitled. feh!
	♥ 5:35pm Michael 98145: it's all about the brand
	5:36pm Linda Lee: & the Nestle brand is shit, in my book ..
	♥ 5:37pm Michael 98145: which is why we need to cut corporate taxes so we can all wallow in the wealth (!)
	♥ 5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do away w/ pretense then & just rewrite the Constitution to Worship Capitalism & admit this is what the U.S.A. is about. Start w/ scratching out this embarrassing thing about 'promoting the General Welfare' & work from there...
	5:39pm MayorFrank: Um, can we get back into the muzak?
	5:40pm MayorFrank: Stereolab
	♥ 5:40pm mcgreivey: H to He: one of my favorite revues of all time!
	5:40pm V Priceless: Whoa! Great VDGG track! Yikes! Hey Scott!
	5:40pm Old Dave: Agreed, Linda. They have poisoned our minds. From the poor teacher in rural Philippines who thinks Nestle instant coffee gives her credibility, to the Philadelphia Main Line mom who believes that about her Tory Burch shoes... same shit.
	♥ 5:41pm mcgreivey: *one of my favorite RECORDS of all time
	5:41pm Peanut Gallery: Trust Station Manager Ken and avoid VDGG... Reconsider!
	5:42pm MayorFrank: Nice Main Line reference....#waynian
	5:42pm Linda Lee: it can't work without us, Old Dave ..
	5:42pm Lewis: Hey Scott - I found a Tantra Monsters CD engineered by Scott Williams in the most excellent curated used bin at Strictly Discs in Madison. Are you that Scott Williams or a different one? (I hope it is you and that it is good, because I bought it...)
	♥ 5:42pm mcgreivey: I should really roofpread before eye post.
	♥ 5:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Looking forward to the WFMUWater™ marathon premiums!
	5:44pm MayorFrank: He...
	♥ 5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It has electrolytes.
	5:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: H TO HE! ....favorite VdGG. .........realizing how, out of context, the above makes absolutely no sense.
	5:44pm still b/p: Freefreshing!
	5:45pm MayorFrank: @mfwu
	5:45pm Linda Lee: electrolytes! well then! :-D
	♥ 5:46pm Scott Williams: Lewis, alas I am neither that SW, nor the one who put out a record called "Lemme Love You", nor the figure skater that did that super flannel-bedecked routine to "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; I'm also not the Australian business-motivational comedian nor the fisherman.
	♥ 5:46pm mcgreivey: Guitar on Pioneers Over C by Robert Fripp
	♥ 5:46pm Bas NL: I've always wondered.. The electrical sparky machine is called a Van De Graaff generator.
	5:46pm V Priceless: good one, mcg.
	5:46pm Lewis: I understand - I am not the 007 film director either...
	♥ 5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: mcgreivey: I was just gonna say: VdGG: PrettyThings to KingCrimson's Stones? Yeah BasNL - like in Frankenstein.
	5:48pm MayorFrank: I have a story about a friend pulling up to a friend's house and sitting down with a nice chap and it was Daniel Craig and he had no idea.
	♥ 5:54pm mcgreivey: But I think Peter Hamill was still in his Ponderous Pete Sinfieldish WTF-does-that-mean-oh-no-I-hope-he-doesn't-start-talking-about-Hobbits-and-drains prog lyrical phase at this point. Mid-'70s records had more sensible lyrics.
	♥ 5:55pm mcgreivey: *-dragons
	♥ 5:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww, RIP William Onyeabor.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: just a flawless set, Scott!! beautiful. many thanks!
	5:56pm MayorFrank: Can we try any of the @brianjonestownmassacre dub?
	♥ 6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @mcgreivey: Hamill a ♏Scorpio always fond of gnarly intensity & dissonant crescendos &tc. tho'. Not the same but a bit like King Crimson referring to The Devil after all. - ? - Awlready - ?! TY SW !
	♥ 6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	♥ 6:00pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Scott

	3:56pm flashbazbo: Love Dance was written by Joe Bonner, a pianist who was on a number of Pharaoh Sanders LPs and Woody Shaws Love Dance LP which had the original version of it. He died in 2014. He was a very melodic and beautiful composer and player, very McCoy Tynerish and Bacharachish. Should a had a hit. RIP

	4:34pm Jeff: "No, you're too weird!"
	4:35pm Jeff: "No, you're not weird enough!"
	4:35pm Jeff: The music is rubber and you're glue...
	4:36pm Dean: Patience. In time, she'll accept it. My 10YO these days expresses concern when weekend mornings I am not listening to WFMU.
	4:36pm Fred: its the uk-ular option Scott
	4:36pm Marc15: Tell the child to "live with it "
	4:36pm JakeGould: Just tell the 10 year old to get you another can of beer.
	4:36pm TDK60: I've heard some weird tunes on WFMU before. It made me feel strange. Then, I read something about such strangeness being a necessary part of art -- that it might help us imagine new things. Maybe.
	🧩 ♥ 4:38pm Fine-aight: "It's good for you. No dessert until you've listened to all your weird!"
	♥ 4:38pm unpopularfred: "you're not weird enough."
	4:38pm Linda Lee: 'what's 'weird' mean?' depending on the answer you know where to go with the conversation.
	♥ 4:38pm mcgreivey: My dad had me mixing drinks for him at 10, so he didn't have to walk into the other room while Duke Ellington was still playing on the gramophone.
	♥ 4:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Whew! I haven't missed the entire show! Hi Scott and all the comments-page pals.
	4:39pm Dean: This is for @mcgreivey: https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Mix-Me-Drink-Use/dp/1932416455
	♥ 4:41pm Bas NL: Wendy!!!!!
	4:41pm Karl Ward: Perform the entire Einstein on the Beach opera with just your mouth. The hours and hours of it.
	4:41pm Jeff: The word weird says more about the person who uses it than about what's nominally being described.
	♥ 4:41pm rsj: i just call them donna trump
	♥ 4:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: Bas!!! <3
	4:41pm Marc15: Tell the child to go to her room if she does not like music, so she won't have to listen
	♥ 4:42pm mcgreivey: Oh, now she's turned up the iPod to tune me out. I might have to mean dad now.
	♥ 4:42pm rsj: that really offends them
	♥ 4:42pm mcgreivey: *to be mean dad
	4:43pm Linda Lee: she's at that age where she's finally figuring stuff out & what she can't figure out is really offensive! :-)
	4:43pm steve: wow auditions are almost over already
	♥ 4:44pm mcgreivey: ^true And I'm putting off standing up to go to the kitchen to start making dinner. Domestic life.
	4:44pm steve: so what happens in the mornings when they're over? i thought Ken said the decision wouldn't be made til post marathon?
	4:46pm Linda Lee: right Jeff! it's totally subjective! :-D
	4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CLASSICK.
	♥ 4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: From the Norse 'wyrd' : en.wikipedia.org... - in the Runes - it's the blank one.
	4:47pm Fred: this singer sounds like Irwin's friend Amanda...
	4:48pm Anonymous Coward: Fred beat me to it.
	4:49pm JakeGould: To be fair, I won a copy of Kraftwerk's "Computerworld" in a promo contest when I was 14 and it upset me enough to break it in pieces and toss it in the trash.
	4:50pm Linda Lee: see? easily offended at that age :-)
	♥ 4:50pm mcgreivey: Someone should record an album entirely in Old English. That would be weird.
	4:51pm Linda Lee: what's she up to now, mcgreivey?
	♥ 4:51pm mcgreivey: She's not offended; just bemused.
	4:51pm Linda Lee: good girl! :-D
	♥ 4:52pm mcgreivey: She's hard at work. Noise to the grindstone.
	4:53pm Linda Lee: noise to the grindstone? :-D
	4:53pm Dean: Someone has recorded a DVD entirely in Old English. Ben Bagby of Sequentia recites Beowulf: http://bagbybeowulf.com/video/index.html
	♥ 4:53pm mcgreivey: I guess the music's not weird anymore. Dang. Not that I don't like the music, but maybe it bothers me that it's no longer bothering her.
	4:54pm Linda Lee: brava! progress! :-)
	4:55pm Linda Lee: you're such a dad, man. :-D
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - but we're weird & we're wonderful.
	♥ 4:59pm Michael 98145: [ that would be a Great name for a show : Noise to the Grindstone ]
	4:59pm Linda Lee: we've got electric boots & mohair suits!
	5:00pm Linda Lee: i thought the same thing Michael! exactly! :-D
	♥ 5:00pm mcgreivey: She's laughing at this one (The Viper?). Is that good or bad?
	5:01pm steve: whenever my students say "this is weird/boring/confusing etc" my stock response is "life if weird/boring/confusing etc".
	5:02pm Linda Lee: good one steve. simple & correct.
	5:02pm TDK60: I've also heard some uncanny music on WFMU before. True story.
	♥ 5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Humour is a sign of Intelligence. I was told.
	♥ 5:03pm Michael 98145: ... some of it is even off kilter
	5:03pm steve: works on any young person from pre-K to college!
	♥ 5:06pm mcgreivey: Uncanny? I think she would like Can, actually. Maybe I'll play some for her. After Scott's show is over, bien sûr.
	5:07pm ^^^^^^^^^tttttpppppp^^^^: #%^&&***(()))(&^%$#!!!!
	5:07pm MayorFrank: Hello everyone. Lots of snow in Andover, Mass.
	♥ 5:07pm mcgreivey: ^^^^That's weird.
	5:08pm Linda Lee: what a weird, wonderful time in pop the late 70s ~ early 80s were. what a fine time it was too.
	5:08pm TDK60: It's weirdly snowing in Andover.
	♥ 5:08pm mcgreivey: The snow isn't weird.
	5:09pm Linda Lee: still snowing there MayorFrank? finally done, here in the catskills. a good 2.5 feet on the ground now. knee-high for wee me.
	5:09pm MayorFrank: It's not snowing anymore.
	5:10pm TDK60: And the snow is over in Andover.
	5:10pm Linda Lee: my cats love the Asmus Tietchens track. they're weird.
	5:10pm MayorFrank: We got a good foot. Maine is suffering. Lots of snow there, Portland to Augusta.
	5:12pm Linda Lee: fuel for the flowers .. & a drink for the New York metro area, is our snow. we provide all the water there.
	5:14pm MayorFrank: Linda Lee: YOU DO NOT!
	5:14pm Linda Lee: we do! :-D
	5:15pm djsheilab: I'm sitting in traffic on the west side highway, with a beautiful view of the Hustler Club, and just wanted to say I'm enjoying this atmospheric set.
	5:15pm TDK60: DJ Sheila!
	5:15pm Linda Lee: hey there SheilaB! fancy meeting you here! in your car! :-D
	♥ 5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Economics are important to understand. This is non-commercial, listener supported. The other stuff is from an increasingly top-down Industry. We choose this specifically because it is 'narrowcasting' - & not fed to us w/out consent... Always recommend book 'This is Your Brain On Music' - which posits evidence that the appeal of Music to the Brain depends on a combo & balance of predictability & novelty (which is kinda self-evident & makes sense in hindsight). The next question is why say FMUvians' needles tick so much farther in the direction of Novelty. Our brains likely process (&/or have processed) more Music than average - & / or - faster - & it becomes Predictable to us more readily...
	♥ 5:17pm Bas NL: Happy sounds.. weird, but happy weird..
	5:17pm MayorFrank: It would actually be nice if NYC got it's water from Maine. It could run down pipes, under the LI Sound, over the LIRR tracks (beside them) and rest in Union Pool. (this is a very nice track Scott)
	5:19pm MayorFrank: Props to the DJ Scott Williams.
	5:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: when I grow up, I hope to be happy weird.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: more likely they'd run the system to join up with the existing system underground .. iffen they did run water from Maine. & if we keep seeing low snow totals on New York the way we have been ... they might have to ..
	5:22pm ronald clontle: Who wants to be my friend?
	♥ 5:23pm Scott Williams: Thanks MayorFrank! Hey Sheila!
	5:23pm MayorFrank: So Maine does send water to NYC?
	5:25pm Old Dave: Yes, on trucks that say "Poland Springs" on the side.
	♥ 5:25pm Michael 98145: @RRN63, i really don't understand why MOST people want to hear the same music over and over and over and over
	5:26pm Linda Lee: they do send bottles ..
	5:26pm still b/p: Oh, yes, Nestle Poland Spring is ssssssucking the Maine water out of the ground bigly and trucking it down for NY shelves and throats.
	5:26pm MayorFrank: The future? Plastic. @PolandSpring.
	5:27pm Linda Lee: bringing the destruction back home that they've visited on agro communities worldwide for decades.. that seems to be the theme now ..
	♥ 5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Michael98145: Zappa spoke well about different types of relating to Music in Society. To most it's wallpaper - the predictability is the very thing they like, I think. It remains peripheral & doesn't disturb thot. To us - it's more like the Center of the room, & our focus rejects sameness.
	5:30pm Cooh John: Baby Be Mine is a great song for my valentine.
	5:30pm MayorFrank: I love this agro?-Triangle-drop-nineteens vibe. Where the Drop Nineteens from the triangle?
	♥ 5:31pm Michael 98145: ... well put, RRN63
	5:31pm JakeGould: I saw a Nestle truck today that highlighted all the different water they deliver. Also known as our own reservoir water being resold to us! Grrr!
	♥ 5:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: NestlePrez: 'People do not have a Right to water.'
	5:32pm JakeGould: My N train is making all local stops. What a wonderful treat!
	5:33pm Old Dave: Amen, Rev. Long live WFMU!
	♥ 5:33pm mcgreivey: Skywave: I dug that. Need to track me down a copy.
	♥ 5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Flawless set btw. + !
	5:35pm Linda Lee: last gasp capitalism. .. grabbing up resources while it's still relatively easy to do so. convincing the rest of us they're entitled. feh!
	♥ 5:35pm Michael 98145: it's all about the brand
	5:36pm Linda Lee: & the Nestle brand is shit, in my book ..
	♥ 5:37pm Michael 98145: which is why we need to cut corporate taxes so we can all wallow in the wealth (!)
	♥ 5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Do away w/ pretense then & just rewrite the Constitution to Worship Capitalism & admit this is what the U.S.A. is about. Start w/ scratching out this embarrassing thing about 'promoting the General Welfare' & work from there...
	5:39pm MayorFrank: Um, can we get back into the muzak?
	5:40pm MayorFrank: Stereolab
	♥ 5:40pm mcgreivey: H to He: one of my favorite revues of all time!
	5:40pm V Priceless: Whoa! Great VDGG track! Yikes! Hey Scott!
	5:40pm Old Dave: Agreed, Linda. They have poisoned our minds. From the poor teacher in rural Philippines who thinks Nestle instant coffee gives her credibility, to the Philadelphia Main Line mom who believes that about her Tory Burch shoes... same shit.
	♥ 5:41pm mcgreivey: *one of my favorite RECORDS of all time
	5:41pm Peanut Gallery: Trust Station Manager Ken and avoid VDGG... Reconsider!
	5:42pm MayorFrank: Nice Main Line reference....#waynian
	5:42pm Linda Lee: it can't work without us, Old Dave ..
	5:42pm Lewis: Hey Scott - I found a Tantra Monsters CD engineered by Scott Williams in the most excellent curated used bin at Strictly Discs in Madison. Are you that Scott Williams or a different one? (I hope it is you and that it is good, because I bought it...)
	♥ 5:42pm mcgreivey: I should really roofpread before eye post.
	♥ 5:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Looking forward to the WFMUWater™ marathon premiums!
	5:44pm MayorFrank: He...
	♥ 5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It has electrolytes.
	5:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: H TO HE! ....favorite VdGG. .........realizing how, out of context, the above makes absolutely no sense.
	5:44pm still b/p: Freefreshing!
	5:45pm MayorFrank: @mfwu
	5:45pm Linda Lee: electrolytes! well then! :-D
	♥ 5:46pm Scott Williams: Lewis, alas I am neither that SW, nor the one who put out a record called "Lemme Love You", nor the figure skater that did that super flannel-bedecked routine to "Smells Like Teen Spirit"; I'm also not the Australian business-motivational comedian nor the fisherman.
	♥ 5:46pm mcgreivey: Guitar on Pioneers Over C by Robert Fripp
	♥ 5:46pm Bas NL: I've always wondered.. The electrical sparky machine is called a Van De Graaff generator.
	5:46pm V Priceless: good one, mcg.
	5:46pm Lewis: I understand - I am not the 007 film director either...
	♥ 5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: mcgreivey: I was just gonna say: VdGG: PrettyThings to KingCrimson's Stones? Yeah BasNL - like in Frankenstein.
	5:48pm MayorFrank: I have a story about a friend pulling up to a friend's house and sitting down with a nice chap and it was Daniel Craig and he had no idea.
	♥ 5:54pm mcgreivey: But I think Peter Hamill was still in his Ponderous Pete Sinfieldish WTF-does-that-mean-oh-no-I-hope-he-doesn't-start-talking-about-Hobbits-and-drains prog lyrical phase at this point. Mid-'70s records had more sensible lyrics.
	♥ 5:55pm mcgreivey: *-dragons
	♥ 5:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww, RIP William Onyeabor.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: just a flawless set, Scott!! beautiful. many thanks!
	5:56pm MayorFrank: Can we try any of the @brianjonestownmassacre dub?
	♥ 6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @mcgreivey: Hamill a ♏Scorpio always fond of gnarly intensity & dissonant crescendos &tc. tho'. Not the same but a bit like King Crimson referring to The Devil after all. - ? - Awlready - ?! TY SW !
	♥ 6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	♥ 6:00pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Scott
