Listener comments!
	♥ 10:45am listener james from westwood: Robo-pigeon looks like something out of Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" video!
	11:45am rbrt: I'm here for the secrets of pigeon dating!
	11:47am Mayuko: @james the same kind of creepiness (though that video is pretty great)!!!
	11:48am Mayuko: @rbrt ... or pigeon's non-dating.
	11:49am rbrt: lol
	11:53am rbrt: I wonder if there is a disproportionate amount of female pigeons to male pigeons, so they can be picky and chase them away...never really thought so much about pigeons before lol
	♥ 11:56am listener james from westwood: I have been test-flying a mix of 70s/80s synthpop up until now but it's almost time for the Vertigo!
	♥ 11:57am listener james from westwood: Tracy Jordan has had deep thoughts about pigeons: www.youtube.com...

	12:12pm rbrt: oh fred I saw a pic of her home! someone said it looks like it was gnereated by AI cad lol

	♥ 12:14pm Dropof Goldensun: @Mayuko - Thanks for your radio waves! :)
	♥ 12:15pm Dropof Goldensun: Even though I'm streaming but you know what I mean.
	12:18pm Mayuko: At least it's radio 'sound' waves!!
	♥ 12:19pm fred: Why would someone build a robot pigeon? These flying rats are plentiful over here, they're welcome to take a few real ones
	12:20pm Mayuko: Are you sure those around you are "real" ones and not robots as well, fred?
	12:23pm rbrt: ohhhh robots among us :o
	12:23pm Mayuko: (this is perfectly dramatic background music while the question above being stated)
	12:23pm rbrt: hahaha yes!
	12:25pm rbrt: robot pigeons watching, listening..gathering data
	♥ 12:25pm fred: I don't really care, as long as my crow friends are there to wake me up. Seriously, I enjoy them waking me up, even when it's a little early. Better than an alarm clock. I'll miss that come winter (or I'll be late at work)
	12:26pm Dave B.: howdy Mayuko and verts
	12:28pm Mayuko: Hey Dave!! How are you and your blue jay neighbor?
	12:28pm Alessandro from Italy: Hi MąýůK0 .... bUț wh@T çøúLð wÉ Ðº wîŤhöÜț YYAAAAªª ¡¡¡
	12:30pm Dave B.: the Bluejaybors are doing well. the distraught mom realized that one chick was not coming home and grieving is done
	♥ 12:31pm fred: Looks that this is going to be a robot dance party. The robots need that, they've been getting cranky since Liz Berg left
	12:31pm rw: Pigeon dating? Oh. Weird. We were just talking about Renaldo and the Loaf yesterday. Hello!!
	12:33pm Dave B.: myself, im in delaware this weekend
	12:33pm JakeGould: Hey Mayuko!
	12:33pm Mayuko: Hey Alessandro, and rw! Thanks for tuning in!!
	12:34pm Mayuko: & Jake!!! Hi!
	12:34pm Mayuko: We cannot discuss critters in NYC without Jake.
	♥ 12:34pm melinda: hi all
	12:35pm Mayuko: Hi melinda!Welcome!
	♥ 12:35pm fred: I really live this Greenmark Steamboat track
	♥ 12:36pm fred: I meant "like"
	12:37pm JakeGould: Yeah. Pigeons are ubiquitous but can be like humanity: Charming and nasty. I’ve seen so many pigeons be legit nasty I now consider sparrows the only kind and decent city bird.
	12:37pm Mayuko: @fred yah! that was some nice find in the new bin at the mothership!
	12:38pm Amelia: Hey guys
	12:39pm JakeGould: I mean look at this mafia like pigeon beat down that I witnessed. https://instagram.com/p/BiiOG2aBIxq/
	12:40pm JakeGould: Then these two are making out or something: https://instagram.com/p/BllU6HXgb4R/
	12:40pm rbrt: jeez Jake! it's rough on the streets
	12:41pm JakeGould: And watch for the utter bully asshole here: https://instagram.com/p/BmEglPghP-Y/
	12:41pm Mayuko: Hey Amelia! Thanks for tuning in!
	♥ 12:41pm Dropof Goldensun: Chris and Cosey! I'm showing my age!
	12:42pm Mayuko: So much thuggery in the pigeon society.
	♥ 12:42pm fred: I prefer crows. They're smart. I've had one fly into my bedroom, reacted angrily, since then they stay just outside. One time was enough. It felt less like training than setting boundaries. I wish more humans were that smart
	12:43pm Amelia: birds are so prehistoric
	12:44pm Amelia: like tiny dinosaurs
	12:44pm JakeGould: Sparrows always work together.
	12:44pm rbrt: yes! I really believe they are dinosaurs
	12:45pm JakeGould: But then look at how this dog broke up a potential cat fight. https://twitter.com/bodegacats_/status/1028305141357797376
	12:48pm rbrt: love this citizens of science track
	♥ 12:49pm fred: Now I wish I had footage of crows playing on a slide downstairs. Sadly THE MAN removed the slide, it was OK for crows but dangerous for kids
	12:49pm rw: Wow. Jake, you really are the NYC critter expert! That dog video is pretty great.
	12:50pm rbrt: is Mayuko going to rap?
	♥ 12:50pm listener james from westwood: Aaaahhh, so great to actually hear this Hancock!
	♥ 12:50pm melinda: Rockit, yay
	♥ 12:50pm fred: This brings me back to my childhood
	♥ 12:51pm melinda: Me too.
	12:51pm rw: Yes! I've never heard an FMU rapping mic break.
	12:52pm P-90: Hello DJ Mayuko and Vertigonsters. I'm instantly sure I'm on the Drummer stream at this time on Saturdays, because Mayuko's show never sounds like Michael Shelley's...
	♥ 12:52pm fred: Specifically, begging my mother to buy that record in the aisles of a big mall shop
	♥ 12:53pm listener james from westwood: This is likely the first track on which I heard scratching. Likely, thru its MTV airplay, this was true for much of America.
	12:53pm rbrt: hi p-90
	12:55pm Rickwaukee: The flopping pant legs and shoes in this vid always reminded me of a fever dream I had when I was 5
	♥ 12:55pm fred: (Mayuko was about to use that as bed for her mic break, realized the demographics, walked back to avoid pitchforks)
	12:55pm P-90: I always remember the demented-looking robot duck
	12:56pm rbrt: yeah I've been pretty much walking around with a winter coat on inside lol
	12:57pm Barnaby: Hi Mayuko, sound level is perfect :) as is the show as always
	12:58pm Rickwaukee: All over the Paris of Ohio
	12:58pm rbrt: that's a good point what the hell does a pigeon baby look like!
	12:58pm P-90: Venice Italy a big pigeon town too.
	♥ 12:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mayuko and Mayukolodeons. The primary birds here at my mom's are barn swallows, growing fat on mosquitoes. Also blackbirds and some hawks, ducks & geese, but not a single meadowlark.
	12:59pm Rickwaukee: Oh, they like it from the right pigeon all right
	♥ 12:59pm Dropof Goldensun: Sounds like my high school years.
	♥ 1:01pm listener james from westwood: w00t!!
	♥ 1:02pm listener james from westwood: Only baby squirrels have seen baby pigeons.
	1:07pm P-90: Has everyone seen the lady with the Pigeon Shoes that are getting so much attention? https://nextshark.com/japanese-woman-goes-viral-fantastic-pigeon-shoes/
	1:09pm rbrt: those bully pigeons woudl attack her feet!
	♥ 1:12pm Jeff Golick: Enjoying this very much. Hello, Mayuko and listeners.
	1:14pm Mayuko: ah I see why now you guys were asking if I were going to rap. I changed my mind from mic break to play Rockit there as literally a last second decision, haha. thanks to James!
	1:14pm Amelia: omg pigeons and pianos love it
	♥ 1:14pm Jeff Golick: I've seen a flock of felt pigeons in Brooklyn before. With a felted slice of pizza.
	1:15pm Rickwaukee: Hi, Jeff Golick
	♥ 1:15pm Jeff Golick: Hi, @Rickwaukee!
	1:16pm Rickwaukee: Cool avi, Jeff
	1:16pm rbrt: pizza pigeon!
	1:16pm JakeGould: @Jeff: That is Mother Pigeon’s work! She is cool and can often be spotted in Union Square or outside the Whitney Museum. www.instagram.com...
	1:17pm JakeGould: And she has a picture of a baby pigeon here. www.instagram.com... When you walk down the street and sometime hear weird squeaking from store awnings? Those are baby pigeons.
	1:18pm JakeGould: She also made a smaller version of her pigeons sitting with a smaller version of her. www.instagram.com...
	♥ 1:18pm Sem: Hello, Mayuko, the vertically fine, the horiztonally challenged, the 4th dimensional overseers to whom all praise must be directed, and all not in any of those sets.
	1:18pm rbrt: baby pigeon!...they're not as weird as I thought they were going to be...just looks like a bird who slept in late
	1:19pm Mayuko: Welcome on board P-90! Glad to hear I'm doing a good job offering an alternative listening option!
	1:19pm Amelia: beautiful instrument
	1:20pm Mayuko: Hey Barnaby! Thanks a lot!!! :)
	♥ 1:20pm Jeff Golick: Ah, very cool, @JakeGould; thanks. I go with everything, @Rickwaukee. I think the first Hannibal Burress bit I ever heard was him talking about kicking pigeons.
	1:21pm Mayuko: Hi Rickwaukee, and Ken!
	1:21pm Peter Aitch: Great show today thank you
	1:22pm JakeGould: And here is one other video I took recently of sparrows taking a sand bath… And then one of them grabs a stray cigarette butt. www.instagram.com...
	1:23pm Rickwaukee: Hi, Mayuko Fujino!
	1:23pm JakeGould: Now that I am logged in, I must say that robot pigeon is really disturbing.
	1:23pm Mayuko: Hi, Jeff Golick!
	1:24pm Mayuko: Glad you're digging em Amelia!!
	1:24pm rw: Checking out of the playlist but will be listening in the other room. Thanks Mayuko! Later kids! Have a great weekend everyone!
	1:27pm Mayuko: Welcome on board, Sem!! Thank you for your kind words, Peter Aitch!!
	1:27pm Mayuko: Great weekend to you too rw, thanks for listening!!
	1:28pm JakeGould: Gotta go outside myself! Will be sure to keep an eye out for city animals doing things as I usually do.
	1:29pm Mayuko: Thought there was flood warning around us, Jake? Is it over? Hope you'll enjoy outside anyways!
	1:30pm rbrt: where do the pigeons go in torrential rains?
	♥ 1:31pm fred: That Sleepy John Estes is a nice change-up
	1:32pm rbrt: I love the title " Broken Hearted Ragged and Dirty too"
	1:33pm Mayuko: @rbrt the perfect description for pigeons.
	1:33pm rbrt: poor pigeons
	♥ 1:35pm Dropof Goldensun: Broken hearted because the lady pigeons aren't impressed!
	1:36pm Rickwaukee: The Pigeon Flies On Saturday, and Sunday it stays in the AC
	♥ 1:36pm fred: Was that a Polish union support release? (asking because of the label name)
	1:39pm Mayuko: @fred Solidarity Solidarnosc? I got it at our library in JC, so I don't have any booklet to check at hand.
	♥ 1:39pm fred: @Dropof Goldensun: There's a pretty good release on Sublime Frequencies called Broken Hearted Dragonflies. It's what the label says, but sounds like good noise music
	1:40pm Mayuko: @dropof exactly.
	1:41pm Mayuko: @Rickwaukee They stay in this horrible full-blast 60F ACs that seems to be everywhere in NYC? They're def tougher than I am!
	♥ 1:43pm listener james from westwood: Stevie!!
	1:46pm rbrt: interesting mix of music today! little bit of everything
	♥ 1:48pm coelacanth∅: my pigeon story. i was once sitting on my steps polishing my boots on a summer evening when a mother & 2 children came up my walkway with a pigeon in a box. they claimed they thought i was a doctor, i think. (their english wasn't great) pigeon was holding it's head upside-down. couldn't fly. i fooled around with it a minute but didn't know what to do. so i took it to the raptor trust in millington,nj. not a raptor but i'd been donating to them and thought they'd help. the vet took the bird's head, turned it upright and said there's nothing structurally amiss; the bird probably flew into glass and now saw everything upside-down. i think that pigeon became hawk food after that.
	♥ 1:50pm fred: Woven Hand (a project of David Eugene Edwards) did a soundtrack to a fine dance show by Wim Vandekeybus (I saw him perform live with the company). There's a track called White Bird in there, but it's better with the dance (film version not as good as the live one, but that's what's available) www.youtube.com...
	1:50pm dougseidel: o dear
	♥ 1:50pm listener james from westwood: There's no mistaking a Stephin Merritt joint!
	1:51pm Mayuko: @rbrt my brain is not much organized today x(
	1:51pm Rickwaukee: I think David Letterman started the icebox AC - but he stole it from Elvis - Letterman: quadruple bypass, Elvis: dead at 42
	1:52pm Rickwaukee: Did Stephin Merritt write this?
	♥ 1:53pm melinda: I love Wasps' Nests.@Rickwaukee yes.
	♥ 1:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Mayuko from a wet UK. Very refreshing. Love the other 6ths record. Hyacinths and Thistles. A DJ nightmare (as Stephin planned it ofcourse)
	♥ 1:55pm fred: 100% Pure is from 1995? That sure reminds me of early internet badges then
	1:55pm Mayuko: @coelacanth∅ the pigeon could have sent back to the manufacturer, but maybe its warranty had been already expired. (joking. poor pigeon!)
	1:56pm Mayuko: Hi thanks for listening, dougseidel!
	1:56pm rbrt: @mayuko lol, I didnt want to be the one to make that joke
	♥ 1:57pm fred: @coel: it was just pining for the fjords!
	♥ 1:58pm Dropof Goldensun: Thanks Fred, I'll check it out.
	1:58pm Mayuko: Hi Brian! Brooklyn was more than wet this morning too, it was flooding it seemed.
	♥ 1:58pm Dropof Goldensun: A lot of good stuff today. I'm going to have to go back and give it a listen on the archive.
	♥ 1:59pm Brian in UK: When the White Eagle of the North is overhead. (make sure you have an umbrella to hand) Moody Blues joke? Got no pidgeon jokes.
	♥ 1:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Mayuko!
	2:00pm Paul b: I don't have any pigeon stories. I was once followed by a pelican In Key West for about a mile. I think it thought my camera was a fish. It was not. I might still have a picture of that Pelican somewhere
	♥ 2:00pm Dropof Goldensun: Wait... there's always a lot of good stuff. What I meant was, I haven't been able to listen in front of the computer so I need to go back and piece things together!
	2:00pm rbrt: ok pigeons are ROBOTS if they do not accept a chocolate snack
	♥ 2:00pm Brian in UK: Is Tokyo the most populous city in this world?
	♥ 2:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mayuko. I trust no Clay Pigeons were harmed during today's recording.
	♥ 2:01pm Dropof Goldensun: Real pigeons are now very rare and worth quite a lot of money.
	♥ 2:01pm fred: What? over already? This show isn't long enough. Thanks Mayuko!
	♥ 2:02pm coelacanth∅: maybe the veterinarian knew they are robots and didn't want to disclose that to me at the time.
	♥ 2:03pm coelacanth∅: i like pigeons, as long as i call them doves.
	2:04pm P-90: Thanks Mayuko! Check out the link I posted above to pictures of the lady with the high-fashion pigeon shoes...they're neater and cleaner than "real" pigeons, and the workmanship is very fine...
	♥ 2:04pm Dropof Goldensun: Have a great week Mayuko and everybody!
	♥ 2:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Mayuko!
	2:04pm rbrt: feel better Mayuko!
	2:05pm Rickwaukee: The two-fastest hours of every week. Thanks, Big M Bird! Keep well - in the cold - like an lovely egg.
	♥ 2:05pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Mayuko! take care people, dinosaurs, robots...
	2:06pm Mayuko: @Paul b haha love that pelican story! Pelican is such a strange bird.
	♥ 2:07pm Brian in UK: During the Second World War, pidgeons played an important part in communications. Homing pidgeons that is.
	2:08pm Mayuko: Thanks again everyone for listening and kind commenting!!!!!! See you next week.
	♥ 2:08pm coelacanth∅: but now they make them as small as stinkbugs. (communications and surveilance devices, that is)
	♥ 4:28am coelacanth∅: i had to hear your program as it was meant to be heard. while you were on i heard most of the music from the kitchen but didn't catch much of your mic breaks. (& didn't really hear some of the quieter music either) Thanks again.
	10:16am Mayuko: Ah! Thanks for re-listening coelacanth∅!

	♥ 12:25pm fred: I don't really care, as long as my crow friends are there to wake me up. Seriously, I enjoy them waking me up, even when it's a little early. Better than an alarm clock. I'll miss that come winter (or I'll be late at work)
	12:26pm Dave B.: howdy Mayuko and verts
	12:28pm Mayuko: Hey Dave!! How are you and your blue jay neighbor?
	12:28pm Alessandro from Italy: Hi MąýůK0 .... bUț wh@T çøúLð wÉ Ðº wîŤhöÜț YYAAAAªª ¡¡¡
	12:30pm Dave B.: the Bluejaybors are doing well. the distraught mom realized that one chick was not coming home and grieving is done
	♥ 12:31pm fred: Looks that this is going to be a robot dance party. The robots need that, they've been getting cranky since Liz Berg left
	12:31pm rw: Pigeon dating? Oh. Weird. We were just talking about Renaldo and the Loaf yesterday. Hello!!
	12:33pm Dave B.: myself, im in delaware this weekend
	12:33pm JakeGould: Hey Mayuko!
	12:33pm Mayuko: Hey Alessandro, and rw! Thanks for tuning in!!
	12:34pm Mayuko: & Jake!!! Hi!
	12:34pm Mayuko: We cannot discuss critters in NYC without Jake.
	♥ 12:34pm melinda: hi all
	12:35pm Mayuko: Hi melinda!Welcome!
	♥ 12:35pm fred: I really live this Greenmark Steamboat track
	♥ 12:36pm fred: I meant "like"
	12:37pm JakeGould: Yeah. Pigeons are ubiquitous but can be like humanity: Charming and nasty. I’ve seen so many pigeons be legit nasty I now consider sparrows the only kind and decent city bird.
	12:37pm Mayuko: @fred yah! that was some nice find in the new bin at the mothership!
	12:38pm Amelia: Hey guys
	12:39pm JakeGould: I mean look at this mafia like pigeon beat down that I witnessed. https://instagram.com/p/BiiOG2aBIxq/
	12:40pm JakeGould: Then these two are making out or something: https://instagram.com/p/BllU6HXgb4R/
	12:40pm rbrt: jeez Jake! it's rough on the streets
	12:41pm JakeGould: And watch for the utter bully asshole here: https://instagram.com/p/BmEglPghP-Y/
	12:41pm Mayuko: Hey Amelia! Thanks for tuning in!
	♥ 12:41pm Dropof Goldensun: Chris and Cosey! I'm showing my age!
	12:42pm Mayuko: So much thuggery in the pigeon society.
	♥ 12:42pm fred: I prefer crows. They're smart. I've had one fly into my bedroom, reacted angrily, since then they stay just outside. One time was enough. It felt less like training than setting boundaries. I wish more humans were that smart
	12:43pm Amelia: birds are so prehistoric
	12:44pm Amelia: like tiny dinosaurs
	12:44pm JakeGould: Sparrows always work together.
	12:44pm rbrt: yes! I really believe they are dinosaurs
	12:45pm JakeGould: But then look at how this dog broke up a potential cat fight. https://twitter.com/bodegacats_/status/1028305141357797376
	12:48pm rbrt: love this citizens of science track
	♥ 12:49pm fred: Now I wish I had footage of crows playing on a slide downstairs. Sadly THE MAN removed the slide, it was OK for crows but dangerous for kids
	12:49pm rw: Wow. Jake, you really are the NYC critter expert! That dog video is pretty great.
	12:50pm rbrt: is Mayuko going to rap?
	♥ 12:50pm listener james from westwood: Aaaahhh, so great to actually hear this Hancock!
	♥ 12:50pm melinda: Rockit, yay
	♥ 12:50pm fred: This brings me back to my childhood
	♥ 12:51pm melinda: Me too.
	12:51pm rw: Yes! I've never heard an FMU rapping mic break.
	12:52pm P-90: Hello DJ Mayuko and Vertigonsters. I'm instantly sure I'm on the Drummer stream at this time on Saturdays, because Mayuko's show never sounds like Michael Shelley's...
	♥ 12:52pm fred: Specifically, begging my mother to buy that record in the aisles of a big mall shop
	♥ 12:53pm listener james from westwood: This is likely the first track on which I heard scratching. Likely, thru its MTV airplay, this was true for much of America.
	12:53pm rbrt: hi p-90
	12:55pm Rickwaukee: The flopping pant legs and shoes in this vid always reminded me of a fever dream I had when I was 5
	♥ 12:55pm fred: (Mayuko was about to use that as bed for her mic break, realized the demographics, walked back to avoid pitchforks)
	12:55pm P-90: I always remember the demented-looking robot duck
	12:56pm rbrt: yeah I've been pretty much walking around with a winter coat on inside lol
	12:57pm Barnaby: Hi Mayuko, sound level is perfect :) as is the show as always
	12:58pm Rickwaukee: All over the Paris of Ohio
	12:58pm rbrt: that's a good point what the hell does a pigeon baby look like!
	12:58pm P-90: Venice Italy a big pigeon town too.
	♥ 12:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mayuko and Mayukolodeons. The primary birds here at my mom's are barn swallows, growing fat on mosquitoes. Also blackbirds and some hawks, ducks & geese, but not a single meadowlark.
	12:59pm Rickwaukee: Oh, they like it from the right pigeon all right
	♥ 12:59pm Dropof Goldensun: Sounds like my high school years.
	♥ 1:01pm listener james from westwood: w00t!!
	♥ 1:02pm listener james from westwood: Only baby squirrels have seen baby pigeons.
	1:07pm P-90: Has everyone seen the lady with the Pigeon Shoes that are getting so much attention? https://nextshark.com/japanese-woman-goes-viral-fantastic-pigeon-shoes/
	1:09pm rbrt: those bully pigeons woudl attack her feet!
	♥ 1:12pm Jeff Golick: Enjoying this very much. Hello, Mayuko and listeners.
	1:14pm Mayuko: ah I see why now you guys were asking if I were going to rap. I changed my mind from mic break to play Rockit there as literally a last second decision, haha. thanks to James!
	1:14pm Amelia: omg pigeons and pianos love it
	♥ 1:14pm Jeff Golick: I've seen a flock of felt pigeons in Brooklyn before. With a felted slice of pizza.
	1:15pm Rickwaukee: Hi, Jeff Golick
	♥ 1:15pm Jeff Golick: Hi, @Rickwaukee!
	1:16pm Rickwaukee: Cool avi, Jeff
	1:16pm rbrt: pizza pigeon!
	1:16pm JakeGould: @Jeff: That is Mother Pigeon’s work! She is cool and can often be spotted in Union Square or outside the Whitney Museum. www.instagram.com...
	1:17pm JakeGould: And she has a picture of a baby pigeon here. www.instagram.com... When you walk down the street and sometime hear weird squeaking from store awnings? Those are baby pigeons.
	1:18pm JakeGould: She also made a smaller version of her pigeons sitting with a smaller version of her. www.instagram.com...
	♥ 1:18pm Sem: Hello, Mayuko, the vertically fine, the horiztonally challenged, the 4th dimensional overseers to whom all praise must be directed, and all not in any of those sets.
	1:18pm rbrt: baby pigeon!...they're not as weird as I thought they were going to be...just looks like a bird who slept in late
	1:19pm Mayuko: Welcome on board P-90! Glad to hear I'm doing a good job offering an alternative listening option!
	1:19pm Amelia: beautiful instrument
	1:20pm Mayuko: Hey Barnaby! Thanks a lot!!! :)
	♥ 1:20pm Jeff Golick: Ah, very cool, @JakeGould; thanks. I go with everything, @Rickwaukee. I think the first Hannibal Burress bit I ever heard was him talking about kicking pigeons.
	1:21pm Mayuko: Hi Rickwaukee, and Ken!
	1:21pm Peter Aitch: Great show today thank you
	1:22pm JakeGould: And here is one other video I took recently of sparrows taking a sand bath… And then one of them grabs a stray cigarette butt. www.instagram.com...
	1:23pm Rickwaukee: Hi, Mayuko Fujino!
	1:23pm JakeGould: Now that I am logged in, I must say that robot pigeon is really disturbing.
	1:23pm Mayuko: Hi, Jeff Golick!
	1:24pm Mayuko: Glad you're digging em Amelia!!
	1:24pm rw: Checking out of the playlist but will be listening in the other room. Thanks Mayuko! Later kids! Have a great weekend everyone!
	1:27pm Mayuko: Welcome on board, Sem!! Thank you for your kind words, Peter Aitch!!
	1:27pm Mayuko: Great weekend to you too rw, thanks for listening!!
	1:28pm JakeGould: Gotta go outside myself! Will be sure to keep an eye out for city animals doing things as I usually do.
	1:29pm Mayuko: Thought there was flood warning around us, Jake? Is it over? Hope you'll enjoy outside anyways!
	1:30pm rbrt: where do the pigeons go in torrential rains?
	♥ 1:31pm fred: That Sleepy John Estes is a nice change-up
	1:32pm rbrt: I love the title " Broken Hearted Ragged and Dirty too"
	1:33pm Mayuko: @rbrt the perfect description for pigeons.
	1:33pm rbrt: poor pigeons
	♥ 1:35pm Dropof Goldensun: Broken hearted because the lady pigeons aren't impressed!
	1:36pm Rickwaukee: The Pigeon Flies On Saturday, and Sunday it stays in the AC
	♥ 1:36pm fred: Was that a Polish union support release? (asking because of the label name)
	1:39pm Mayuko: @fred Solidarity Solidarnosc? I got it at our library in JC, so I don't have any booklet to check at hand.
	♥ 1:39pm fred: @Dropof Goldensun: There's a pretty good release on Sublime Frequencies called Broken Hearted Dragonflies. It's what the label says, but sounds like good noise music
	1:40pm Mayuko: @dropof exactly.
	1:41pm Mayuko: @Rickwaukee They stay in this horrible full-blast 60F ACs that seems to be everywhere in NYC? They're def tougher than I am!
	♥ 1:43pm listener james from westwood: Stevie!!
	1:46pm rbrt: interesting mix of music today! little bit of everything
	♥ 1:48pm coelacanth∅: my pigeon story. i was once sitting on my steps polishing my boots on a summer evening when a mother & 2 children came up my walkway with a pigeon in a box. they claimed they thought i was a doctor, i think. (their english wasn't great) pigeon was holding it's head upside-down. couldn't fly. i fooled around with it a minute but didn't know what to do. so i took it to the raptor trust in millington,nj. not a raptor but i'd been donating to them and thought they'd help. the vet took the bird's head, turned it upright and said there's nothing structurally amiss; the bird probably flew into glass and now saw everything upside-down. i think that pigeon became hawk food after that.
	♥ 1:50pm fred: Woven Hand (a project of David Eugene Edwards) did a soundtrack to a fine dance show by Wim Vandekeybus (I saw him perform live with the company). There's a track called White Bird in there, but it's better with the dance (film version not as good as the live one, but that's what's available) www.youtube.com...
	1:50pm dougseidel: o dear
	♥ 1:50pm listener james from westwood: There's no mistaking a Stephin Merritt joint!
	1:51pm Mayuko: @rbrt my brain is not much organized today x(
	1:51pm Rickwaukee: I think David Letterman started the icebox AC - but he stole it from Elvis - Letterman: quadruple bypass, Elvis: dead at 42
	1:52pm Rickwaukee: Did Stephin Merritt write this?
	♥ 1:53pm melinda: I love Wasps' Nests.@Rickwaukee yes.
	♥ 1:53pm Brian in UK: Hello Mayuko from a wet UK. Very refreshing. Love the other 6ths record. Hyacinths and Thistles. A DJ nightmare (as Stephin planned it ofcourse)
	♥ 1:55pm fred: 100% Pure is from 1995? That sure reminds me of early internet badges then
	1:55pm Mayuko: @coelacanth∅ the pigeon could have sent back to the manufacturer, but maybe its warranty had been already expired. (joking. poor pigeon!)
	1:56pm Mayuko: Hi thanks for listening, dougseidel!
	1:56pm rbrt: @mayuko lol, I didnt want to be the one to make that joke
	♥ 1:57pm fred: @coel: it was just pining for the fjords!
	♥ 1:58pm Dropof Goldensun: Thanks Fred, I'll check it out.
	1:58pm Mayuko: Hi Brian! Brooklyn was more than wet this morning too, it was flooding it seemed.
	♥ 1:58pm Dropof Goldensun: A lot of good stuff today. I'm going to have to go back and give it a listen on the archive.
	♥ 1:59pm Brian in UK: When the White Eagle of the North is overhead. (make sure you have an umbrella to hand) Moody Blues joke? Got no pidgeon jokes.
	♥ 1:59pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Mayuko!
	2:00pm Paul b: I don't have any pigeon stories. I was once followed by a pelican In Key West for about a mile. I think it thought my camera was a fish. It was not. I might still have a picture of that Pelican somewhere
	♥ 2:00pm Dropof Goldensun: Wait... there's always a lot of good stuff. What I meant was, I haven't been able to listen in front of the computer so I need to go back and piece things together!
	2:00pm rbrt: ok pigeons are ROBOTS if they do not accept a chocolate snack
	♥ 2:00pm Brian in UK: Is Tokyo the most populous city in this world?
	♥ 2:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mayuko. I trust no Clay Pigeons were harmed during today's recording.
	♥ 2:01pm Dropof Goldensun: Real pigeons are now very rare and worth quite a lot of money.
	♥ 2:01pm fred: What? over already? This show isn't long enough. Thanks Mayuko!
	♥ 2:02pm coelacanth∅: maybe the veterinarian knew they are robots and didn't want to disclose that to me at the time.
	♥ 2:03pm coelacanth∅: i like pigeons, as long as i call them doves.
	2:04pm P-90: Thanks Mayuko! Check out the link I posted above to pictures of the lady with the high-fashion pigeon shoes...they're neater and cleaner than "real" pigeons, and the workmanship is very fine...
	♥ 2:04pm Dropof Goldensun: Have a great week Mayuko and everybody!
	♥ 2:04pm Jeff Golick: Thanks, @Mayuko!
	2:04pm rbrt: feel better Mayuko!
	2:05pm Rickwaukee: The two-fastest hours of every week. Thanks, Big M Bird! Keep well - in the cold - like an lovely egg.
	♥ 2:05pm coelacanth∅: Thank you Mayuko! take care people, dinosaurs, robots...
	2:06pm Mayuko: @Paul b haha love that pelican story! Pelican is such a strange bird.
	♥ 2:07pm Brian in UK: During the Second World War, pidgeons played an important part in communications. Homing pidgeons that is.
	2:08pm Mayuko: Thanks again everyone for listening and kind commenting!!!!!! See you next week.
	♥ 2:08pm coelacanth∅: but now they make them as small as stinkbugs. (communications and surveilance devices, that is)
	♥ 4:28am coelacanth∅: i had to hear your program as it was meant to be heard. while you were on i heard most of the music from the kitchen but didn't catch much of your mic breaks. (& didn't really hear some of the quieter music either) Thanks again.
	10:16am Mayuko: Ah! Thanks for re-listening coelacanth∅!
