	3:01pm Jeff Moore: Safety first!
	🎸 ♥ 3:04pm Alison Porchnik: I'm confused. What does the hook have to do with the sledgehammer?
	3:06pm Jeff Moore: Are they all just construction-y industrial-y things?
	🎸 ♥ 3:06pm Alison Porchnik: Translation: “Do not leave anything loose on the scaffold” Ok, I guess the hook isn't relevant here. Total red herring. As it were.

	♥ 3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Stormville Airport is up for sale. Let us hope the flea market will continue. www.poughkeepsiejournal.com... I hope it doesn't become a scrapyard.
	♥ 3:32pm Otis Fodder: Finally. Happy guy here. I rarely get to catch our old pal Irwin's show live. I'm here to listen to the sound of Irwin washing the crusty dishes.
	3:32pm laughingacademy: Ooh, bravo on the pronunciation of "Cthulhu"
	♥ 3:33pm Otis Fodder: Yay, new PLU!
	3:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Laugingacadamy-is it ka-THUL-hu?
	♥ 3:34pm Irwin: Bravo on pronouncing it once without an iota of self-doubt.
	3:38pm dug: ????
	3:39pm zzz: oh my god this shania twain song is incredible
	3:39pm Faith Hill: Whyyyyyyyyyyy?
	3:40pm Faith Hill: Go back to Canada Shania.
	♥ 3:41pm The Oscar: Whenever someone starts the Cthulhu pronunciation debate, I helpfully remind them that it is a nonsense word made up by a crazy person.
	♥ 3:42pm Irwin: Oh, ye Faith of little!
	♥ 3:43pm Otis Fodder: Nooooo, please don't send Shania back to Canada.
	3:43pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Robert Walter reminds me of Frank Zappa in noodling mode. Apparently, it has roots in chthonic which means underground dweller.
	♥ 3:44pm Irwin: The bass reminds me of Richard Sinclair of Caravan and Hatfield & the North.
	3:44pm zzz: new (and old) robert walter always a treat :)
	3:46pm zzz: RW said he was listening to a lot of krautrock while writing/recording
	3:48pm People Like Us: love this Byrds track
	3:49pm Santos L Halper: New Byrds comp? Sounds good...
	♥ 3:49pm Irwin: Chris Hillman's bass makes this track.
	♥ 3:49pm Uncle Michael: I'm catching a remnant of the Byrds on Sunday. Hellow alla youse.
	♥ 3:50pm Irwin: Old Byrds comp
	♥ 3:51pm chresti: Hello!
	♥ 3:53pm The Oscar: It took me two full verses to realize they weren't kidding.
	♥ 3:55pm chresti: like the hammer safety poster
	3:56pm Fredericks: Wanted to sign in so I could click on Tom Abbs & Frequency Response. They are new to me, but right up my alley. What was the name of that European Sun Ra inspired group you were playing a lot of about a year ago, Irwin? I feel certain you can remember. Unfortunately I don't. Don't think I clicked them either.
	♥ 4:02pm The Oscar: Never the twain shallnia.
	♥ 4:05pm Irwin: Fred: band is Heliocentric Counterblast
	4:06pm Fredericks: YES. Thanks!
	4:08pm spodiodi: Lovely
	🎸 ♥ 4:11pm Alison Porchnik: Is this track inspired by the weekend's sojourn to Hartsdale?
	♥ 4:13pm Irwin: Not really, just like the song. But maybe subconsciously ....
	4:16pm Chi Bill: OMG, Hendrix on FMU, and one of my fav's. Thanks!!!
	4:16pm ?: hi listening in philly... watch out for that hammer
	4:16pm jess: excellent Hendryx!
	♥ 4:16pm Irwin: And jazz-rock was born.
	4:20pm Chi Bill: Coworkers probably roll their eyes as i try to emulate the guitar with my mouth.
	4:23pm the illuminated void: I C great tune
	♥ 4:24pm chresti: Great psycho segway! Oh Sees carry the flag.
	4:25pm miles: the OCs? surprised . wouldn't have guessed it was them
	♥ 4:28pm karlward: Mitch Mitchell! Supposedly Hendrix called him "my Elvin Jones."
	4:29pm Santos L Halper: What Irwin said. Jazz-rock forever! And thanks for reminding me of that box set, time to revisit...
	4:30pm Woo: Yesterday I heard Mercy Mercy Mercy by the Buckinghams on the radio. Is that jazz pop? I think so.
	♥ 4:31pm Irwin: Mitch Mitchell was influenced by Elvin Jones. Great chops AND showmanship.
	4:31pm Linda Lee: isn't this Pure Mids track lovely! a fine cap to a stressful afternoon. thanks Irwin!
	♥ 4:32pm Irwin: Mercyx3 was a Cannonball Adderley number, but the Bucks kinda rockified it.
	♥ 4:32pm coelacanth∅: Karlward i never heard that. very cool.
	♥ 4:33pm karlward: coelacanth∅: I can't remember the source of that quote but I'll try to dig it up.
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: i've often said that Mitch was Jimi's drummer counterpart. aside from just being an outstanding drummer, i don't think it's possible that a more suitable drummer could've been chosen to compliment Jimi. i think Jimi realised this -if not before, then certainly after his stint with the clumsy, lacking of finesse and intuition and somewhat egocentric Buddy Miles.
	4:39pm andrew: Ooo NRPS
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth∅: ...Mitch understood perfectly what would work best for Jimi's music - possibly better than Jimi did at times.
	♥ 4:40pm coelacanth∅: i forgot about this one. good to hear it
	♥ 4:40pm Franco Twinkie: NR never surpassed this record. Every band has it's moment, I suppose.
	4:41pm Carmichael: This is one of my old NRPS favorites.
	♥ 4:41pm Irwin: Coel: I'm 100% with you on Buddy Miles. Clumsy to the core, played like he was wearing oven mitts.
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth∅: hahaha!
	4:42pm hendrix wolfbat: Seriously great show Irwin! Thanks for the cool tunes:)
	4:43pm Linda Lee: let's not forget the Dirty Mac ~ one-off supergroup featuring John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards & Mitch Mitchell on the 'Rock n Roll Circus' Stones special for British tv! nice solid rhythm work there, where it only had to be nice & solid.
	♥ 4:44pm Franco Twinkie: Mitch managed to play in front of the beat, behind the beat, outside the beat and always find his way back to the beat.
	♥ 4:45pm Irwin: No better demonstrated than on 3rd Stone.
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth∅: yeh Franco. he played texture.
	4:46pm Linda Lee: Miles said that good musicianship was about knowing when not to play, too. have to agree!
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth∅: "admirable restraint"?
	4:46pm Linda Lee: right ~
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: so Linda - i don't know how, but i've yet to hear that rock n roll circus stuff. i should do that before i die.
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm chris: effusive gushing: your show, Irwin. i'm consistently amazed at what you put together for us. you're a treasure of a DJ, sir.
	4:52pm Linda Lee: what happens when there's no restraint: youtu.be...
	4:52pm Linda Lee: coel, the footage was hard to see for a long time. easy now.
	♥ 4:53pm Franco Twinkie: Some people like a tick-tock drumbeat and it rubs them the wrong way to hear poly-rhythms, They mistake it for sloppiness. Asymmetrie in all things, no?
	4:54pm Linda Lee: there's the art. right there.
	4:55pm Linda Lee: knowing what to do.
	♥ 4:56pm coelacanth∅: Linda haha i can't stop laughing!
	4:56pm Linda Lee: downtown nyc late 70s early 80s was a wonderful place to be, despite what you've heard.
	4:57pm Linda Lee: see? :-D
	♥ 4:57pm Irwin: Thank you back there, Chris. Just catching up with the board.
	4:58pm jess: Irwin this is awesome. you're one of the best djs around.
	♥ 5:00pm Franco Twinkie: Okay. I know the Halloween crap is just around the corner...but it's never to early for Roky....The Creature With The Atom Brain!
	♥ 5:01pm Irwin: jess: But what about Shania?
	♥ 5:01pm coelacanth∅: so, regarding Linda @4.46 i was hoping someone would recognise my king crimson reference. (& maybe someone did) but it's this: on a track on "starless and bible black" Bill Bruford got a composition credit for an improvised instrumental piece played live because he knew enough to not touch his kit for the entire track.
	♥ 5:02pm coelacanth∅: (his instrumental credit was called "admirable restraint")
	5:02pm jess: I'll let the Shania slide.
	5:03pm Linda Lee: of course i missed it. thanks for the educatin! :-)
	5:04pm Linda Lee: know the phrase, though
	5:05pm judy from croton: This one has me choked up already. Love a waltz.
	♥ 5:11pm coelacanth∅: LL i'm not in a good position to be an educator! i just like the story. i'm sure it was Robert Fripp's decision. he could've just left Bill's name off; so for people who think poorly of Fripp, personally, at least there's that.
	5:11pm Linda Lee: sweet little bell in this piece is like a temple bell during meditation. brings you back to the moment.
	5:12pm Linda Lee: coel, some of my best teachers could never be educators. :-D
	♥ 5:13pm Rich in Washington: That was beautiful.
	♥ 5:13pm coelacanth∅: spoken like a true buddhist
	5:14pm Linda Lee: i'm always learnin stuff on the boards. pretty special crowd we got here.
	5:15pm Fredericks: I thought Wolfgang Tschegg was Lou Reed for a moment.
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Alison Porchnik: This song was definitely written by a man.
	5:17pm Linda Lee: not quite as nasal. that means not at all nasal. :-)
	5:18pm Carmichael: Makin' it up as you go along ...
	5:18pm Roberto: She's pronouncing it "woman's liberation"
	5:18pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: OMG THIS IS AWESOME
	5:18pm Linda Lee: @Allison Porchnik ~ no doubt!
	5:19pm Santos L Halper: Wow.
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm Alison Porchnik: Ah one of my favorites, seconded only by Brian Dewan's cover of it.
	5:19pm Linda Lee: this is sounding a bit like "music of mind control" :-D
	5:20pm Carmichael: Is this the follow-up to Indian Lake?
	♥ 5:20pm coelacanth∅: yup Linda and often we don't know who's older, younger, what they do for money, for fun, what color they are, even male or female; so those of us, which i feel is most of us, that are not especially arrogant, they will get what can be got from the comment board, without prejudice. it's a unique situation, i think.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: yes, absolutely. Mark Hurst shared his opinion that the fmu boards are what social media should be. i'd agree.
	5:22pm Listening Out There: Dana knows...
	5:22pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Love this new Mountain Goats tune about Niagra Falls
	5:24pm Carmichael: My Son the Shill?
	5:24pm Linda Lee: oh my goodness! yesterday we had Al Caiola, today we have Allan Sherman! my childhood raises its crazy head.
	5:24pm Santos L Halper: The Falls tourism bureau really got their money's worth with that one
	5:25pm Laura L: From an industrial musical, no?
	5:25pm LMPnCHI: holy moly that was hilarious, especially the religious admonishments at the end
	♥ 5:25pm Irwin: I think just a song for a convention. It's on the AS boxed set.
	♥ 5:25pm coelacanth∅: oh, my...
	♥ 5:26pm common: Good eve all.
	5:26pm GCK: Just saw the doc "Bathtubs Over Broadway" and would recommend for fans of Scott Cups songs.
	♥ 5:27pm coelacanth∅: scotch tastes older in scott cups. classy too!
	♥ 5:27pm Fuzzy: This is a purdy cool drum piece.
	5:28pm DC: Loved that Allan Sherman
	5:28pm Laura L: GCK, the film is great--and I recommend the book "Everything's Coming Up Profits: The Golden Age of Industrial Musicals" by Steve Young and Sport Murphy....
	5:30pm Listening Out There: Probably needed a paycheck before Camp Granada...
	♥ 5:32pm coelacanth∅: ...sometimes it's difficult to let go of and maybe distracting, the knowledge that a man penned the songs in a female-fronted band. (ie cowboy junkies; shocking blue...)
	5:33pm Linda Lee: i just assume a man penned the song unless i find out otherwise. no reason not to.
	♥ 5:33pm mrdonutsu: Baby Gramps dude is _always_ playing around the corner from me at the Laurelthurst Public House.
	♥ 5:34pm Michael 98145: Baby Gramps' train sets are a sight to behold : www.babygramps.com...
	♥ 5:35pm coelacanth∅: i need to get back to pretending to work. Thanks Irwin! later on y'all
	5:35pm Linda Lee: @Laura L ~ thanks for the recommend! just about time for a little national soul-searching. picking apart mechanisms of our social engineering has to be part of it.
	♥ 5:38pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Quite a perceptive little summery. I will hazard a guess here - most of the people who use the comment board are independently wealthy, and are still on the veranda of their summer home dictating their musing to their chore whore. Or, indigent shut-ins with no money and social life whatsoever.
	5:39pm Linda Lee: some of us just have no television. :-D
	♥ 5:40pm Michael 98145: some of us know a good community when we see it
	5:41pm Linda Lee: .. and our jobs are dull as dirt. duller!
	♥ 5:43pm Franco Twinkie: Mihael, I feel the same way. Economics be damned!
	♥ 5:44pm Smokestack: Yep, I've got this board tucked in the corner of my work computer screen right now. Just another Wednesday...
	♥ 5:44pm dale: that was lovely. no shania twain mind you but nice still.
	5:45pm Linda Lee: given what else we could possibly be doing, loving the community goes without saying.
	♥ 5:45pm queems: oh man i used to listen to this album A LOT
	♥ 5:46pm Franco Twinkie: It gives me pleasure to think that the gainfully employed here are listening on the sly.
	5:48pm GCK: Laura L - after seeing the film and hearing Steve Young talk at the screening I immediately put the book in a cue to order!
	5:49pm Linda Lee: you bet! they out themselves all the time!
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm chris: Franco, when the network cops at work told me not to do non-business stuff like stream music online anymore, i got a smartyphone... FMU forever!
	5:50pm Santos L Halper: This is phenomenal
	5:51pm Carmichael: I listen all day at work.
	♥ 5:51pm Franco Twinkie: Mark E. Smith - He lived in a funhouse mirror and sent us dispatches from there.
	♥ 5:51pm queems: same
	♥ 5:54pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Irwin. You know how to set up a deli platter.
	♥ 5:56pm Michael 98145: thank you again, Irwin
	5:56pm Linda Lee: fabulous show, Irwin! thank you!
	♥ 5:57pm queems: thanks irwin!
	♥ 5:57pm Irwin: I hope the carelessly placed hammer didn't land on anyone's noggin.
	5:58pm Carmichael: I listen sometimes to Peter Noone's show on Sirius XM. Pretty entertaining ...
	♥ 5:58pm dale: i went up to watkins glen via ny rte 79 - there was a mark smith road. thought of the fall.
	♥ 5:59pm dale: has ANYONE ever heard the peter noone album with the tremblers? TO THE YOUTOOBS!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm chris: thanks again, Irwin!
	♥ 6:00pm WillCrete: Its been far to long since I've heard that Tortoise track. Thanks Irwin. Its sonics rapidly/ viscerally took me back to summer of 2004, as my first summer back home in Chicago after starting college.....

	4:30pm Woo: Yesterday I heard Mercy Mercy Mercy by the Buckinghams on the radio. Is that jazz pop? I think so.
	♥ 4:31pm Irwin: Mitch Mitchell was influenced by Elvin Jones. Great chops AND showmanship.
	4:31pm Linda Lee: isn't this Pure Mids track lovely! a fine cap to a stressful afternoon. thanks Irwin!
	♥ 4:32pm Irwin: Mercyx3 was a Cannonball Adderley number, but the Bucks kinda rockified it.
	♥ 4:32pm coelacanth∅: Karlward i never heard that. very cool.
	♥ 4:33pm karlward: coelacanth∅: I can't remember the source of that quote but I'll try to dig it up.
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: i've often said that Mitch was Jimi's drummer counterpart. aside from just being an outstanding drummer, i don't think it's possible that a more suitable drummer could've been chosen to compliment Jimi. i think Jimi realised this -if not before, then certainly after his stint with the clumsy, lacking of finesse and intuition and somewhat egocentric Buddy Miles.
	4:39pm andrew: Ooo NRPS
	♥ 4:39pm coelacanth∅: ...Mitch understood perfectly what would work best for Jimi's music - possibly better than Jimi did at times.
	♥ 4:40pm coelacanth∅: i forgot about this one. good to hear it
	♥ 4:40pm Franco Twinkie: NR never surpassed this record. Every band has it's moment, I suppose.
	4:41pm Carmichael: This is one of my old NRPS favorites.
	♥ 4:41pm Irwin: Coel: I'm 100% with you on Buddy Miles. Clumsy to the core, played like he was wearing oven mitts.
	♥ 4:42pm coelacanth∅: hahaha!
	4:42pm hendrix wolfbat: Seriously great show Irwin! Thanks for the cool tunes:)
	4:43pm Linda Lee: let's not forget the Dirty Mac ~ one-off supergroup featuring John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards & Mitch Mitchell on the 'Rock n Roll Circus' Stones special for British tv! nice solid rhythm work there, where it only had to be nice & solid.
	♥ 4:44pm Franco Twinkie: Mitch managed to play in front of the beat, behind the beat, outside the beat and always find his way back to the beat.
	♥ 4:45pm Irwin: No better demonstrated than on 3rd Stone.
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth∅: yeh Franco. he played texture.
	4:46pm Linda Lee: Miles said that good musicianship was about knowing when not to play, too. have to agree!
	♥ 4:46pm coelacanth∅: "admirable restraint"?
	4:46pm Linda Lee: right ~
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: so Linda - i don't know how, but i've yet to hear that rock n roll circus stuff. i should do that before i die.
	🎸 ♥ 4:50pm chris: effusive gushing: your show, Irwin. i'm consistently amazed at what you put together for us. you're a treasure of a DJ, sir.
	4:52pm Linda Lee: what happens when there's no restraint: youtu.be...
	4:52pm Linda Lee: coel, the footage was hard to see for a long time. easy now.
	♥ 4:53pm Franco Twinkie: Some people like a tick-tock drumbeat and it rubs them the wrong way to hear poly-rhythms, They mistake it for sloppiness. Asymmetrie in all things, no?
	4:54pm Linda Lee: there's the art. right there.
	4:55pm Linda Lee: knowing what to do.
	♥ 4:56pm coelacanth∅: Linda haha i can't stop laughing!
	4:56pm Linda Lee: downtown nyc late 70s early 80s was a wonderful place to be, despite what you've heard.
	4:57pm Linda Lee: see? :-D
	♥ 4:57pm Irwin: Thank you back there, Chris. Just catching up with the board.
	4:58pm jess: Irwin this is awesome. you're one of the best djs around.
	♥ 5:00pm Franco Twinkie: Okay. I know the Halloween crap is just around the corner...but it's never to early for Roky....The Creature With The Atom Brain!
	♥ 5:01pm Irwin: jess: But what about Shania?
	♥ 5:01pm coelacanth∅: so, regarding Linda @4.46 i was hoping someone would recognise my king crimson reference. (& maybe someone did) but it's this: on a track on "starless and bible black" Bill Bruford got a composition credit for an improvised instrumental piece played live because he knew enough to not touch his kit for the entire track.
	♥ 5:02pm coelacanth∅: (his instrumental credit was called "admirable restraint")
	5:02pm jess: I'll let the Shania slide.
	5:03pm Linda Lee: of course i missed it. thanks for the educatin! :-)
	5:04pm Linda Lee: know the phrase, though
	5:05pm judy from croton: This one has me choked up already. Love a waltz.
	♥ 5:11pm coelacanth∅: LL i'm not in a good position to be an educator! i just like the story. i'm sure it was Robert Fripp's decision. he could've just left Bill's name off; so for people who think poorly of Fripp, personally, at least there's that.
	5:11pm Linda Lee: sweet little bell in this piece is like a temple bell during meditation. brings you back to the moment.
	5:12pm Linda Lee: coel, some of my best teachers could never be educators. :-D
	♥ 5:13pm Rich in Washington: That was beautiful.
	♥ 5:13pm coelacanth∅: spoken like a true buddhist
	5:14pm Linda Lee: i'm always learnin stuff on the boards. pretty special crowd we got here.
	5:15pm Fredericks: I thought Wolfgang Tschegg was Lou Reed for a moment.
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Alison Porchnik: This song was definitely written by a man.
	5:17pm Linda Lee: not quite as nasal. that means not at all nasal. :-)
	5:18pm Carmichael: Makin' it up as you go along ...
	5:18pm Roberto: She's pronouncing it "woman's liberation"
	5:18pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: OMG THIS IS AWESOME
	5:18pm Linda Lee: @Allison Porchnik ~ no doubt!
	5:19pm Santos L Halper: Wow.
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm Alison Porchnik: Ah one of my favorites, seconded only by Brian Dewan's cover of it.
	5:19pm Linda Lee: this is sounding a bit like "music of mind control" :-D
	5:20pm Carmichael: Is this the follow-up to Indian Lake?
	♥ 5:20pm coelacanth∅: yup Linda and often we don't know who's older, younger, what they do for money, for fun, what color they are, even male or female; so those of us, which i feel is most of us, that are not especially arrogant, they will get what can be got from the comment board, without prejudice. it's a unique situation, i think.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: yes, absolutely. Mark Hurst shared his opinion that the fmu boards are what social media should be. i'd agree.
	5:22pm Listening Out There: Dana knows...
	5:22pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Love this new Mountain Goats tune about Niagra Falls
	5:24pm Carmichael: My Son the Shill?
	5:24pm Linda Lee: oh my goodness! yesterday we had Al Caiola, today we have Allan Sherman! my childhood raises its crazy head.
	5:24pm Santos L Halper: The Falls tourism bureau really got their money's worth with that one
	5:25pm Laura L: From an industrial musical, no?
	5:25pm LMPnCHI: holy moly that was hilarious, especially the religious admonishments at the end
	♥ 5:25pm Irwin: I think just a song for a convention. It's on the AS boxed set.
	♥ 5:25pm coelacanth∅: oh, my...
	♥ 5:26pm common: Good eve all.
	5:26pm GCK: Just saw the doc "Bathtubs Over Broadway" and would recommend for fans of Scott Cups songs.
	♥ 5:27pm coelacanth∅: scotch tastes older in scott cups. classy too!
	♥ 5:27pm Fuzzy: This is a purdy cool drum piece.
	5:28pm DC: Loved that Allan Sherman
	5:28pm Laura L: GCK, the film is great--and I recommend the book "Everything's Coming Up Profits: The Golden Age of Industrial Musicals" by Steve Young and Sport Murphy....
	5:30pm Listening Out There: Probably needed a paycheck before Camp Granada...
	♥ 5:32pm coelacanth∅: ...sometimes it's difficult to let go of and maybe distracting, the knowledge that a man penned the songs in a female-fronted band. (ie cowboy junkies; shocking blue...)
	5:33pm Linda Lee: i just assume a man penned the song unless i find out otherwise. no reason not to.
	♥ 5:33pm mrdonutsu: Baby Gramps dude is _always_ playing around the corner from me at the Laurelthurst Public House.
	♥ 5:34pm Michael 98145: Baby Gramps' train sets are a sight to behold : www.babygramps.com...
	♥ 5:35pm coelacanth∅: i need to get back to pretending to work. Thanks Irwin! later on y'all
	5:35pm Linda Lee: @Laura L ~ thanks for the recommend! just about time for a little national soul-searching. picking apart mechanisms of our social engineering has to be part of it.
	♥ 5:38pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, Quite a perceptive little summery. I will hazard a guess here - most of the people who use the comment board are independently wealthy, and are still on the veranda of their summer home dictating their musing to their chore whore. Or, indigent shut-ins with no money and social life whatsoever.
	5:39pm Linda Lee: some of us just have no television. :-D
	♥ 5:40pm Michael 98145: some of us know a good community when we see it
	5:41pm Linda Lee: .. and our jobs are dull as dirt. duller!
	♥ 5:43pm Franco Twinkie: Mihael, I feel the same way. Economics be damned!
	♥ 5:44pm Smokestack: Yep, I've got this board tucked in the corner of my work computer screen right now. Just another Wednesday...
	♥ 5:44pm dale: that was lovely. no shania twain mind you but nice still.
	5:45pm Linda Lee: given what else we could possibly be doing, loving the community goes without saying.
	♥ 5:45pm queems: oh man i used to listen to this album A LOT
	♥ 5:46pm Franco Twinkie: It gives me pleasure to think that the gainfully employed here are listening on the sly.
	5:48pm GCK: Laura L - after seeing the film and hearing Steve Young talk at the screening I immediately put the book in a cue to order!
	5:49pm Linda Lee: you bet! they out themselves all the time!
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm chris: Franco, when the network cops at work told me not to do non-business stuff like stream music online anymore, i got a smartyphone... FMU forever!
	5:50pm Santos L Halper: This is phenomenal
	5:51pm Carmichael: I listen all day at work.
	♥ 5:51pm Franco Twinkie: Mark E. Smith - He lived in a funhouse mirror and sent us dispatches from there.
	♥ 5:51pm queems: same
	♥ 5:54pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Irwin. You know how to set up a deli platter.
	♥ 5:56pm Michael 98145: thank you again, Irwin
	5:56pm Linda Lee: fabulous show, Irwin! thank you!
	♥ 5:57pm queems: thanks irwin!
	♥ 5:57pm Irwin: I hope the carelessly placed hammer didn't land on anyone's noggin.
	5:58pm Carmichael: I listen sometimes to Peter Noone's show on Sirius XM. Pretty entertaining ...
	♥ 5:58pm dale: i went up to watkins glen via ny rte 79 - there was a mark smith road. thought of the fall.
	♥ 5:59pm dale: has ANYONE ever heard the peter noone album with the tremblers? TO THE YOUTOOBS!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm chris: thanks again, Irwin!
	♥ 6:00pm WillCrete: Its been far to long since I've heard that Tortoise track. Thanks Irwin. Its sonics rapidly/ viscerally took me back to summer of 2004, as my first summer back home in Chicago after starting college.....
