	♥ 12:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: "Jet Fighters" on a single! Cool!
	12:14pm Itzall Ablurr: But were the British or just sang like British?!?
	12:14pm Itzall Ablurr: THEY. They Bangles.
	12:14pm northguineahills: Sonic Boom (Spectrum) does a great version of "True Love Will Find You in the End".
	12:15pm KP in DC: Geno! Woo woo!
	♥ 12:16pm ChrisB.: Where's Dave?
	12:24pm clarke: dave's not here, man.
	12:25pm Carmichael: Cheri, what up? Long time, no hear from.
	12:26pm Carmichael: Bangles were Americans who went to London to try and be cool.
	12:27pm Roberto: WFMU is sure as heck trying to spark a Happy Rhodes revival!
	12:27pm Cheri Pi: I continue to live the dream, not on the comments board much anymore but I continue to clicky the stars
	12:27pm Roberto: That's a good thing.
	12:28pm Itzall Ablurr: But Carmichael, in their case it worked. I think they must've been cool before they sailed for the UK.
	♥ 12:32pm Hughie Considine: Oh, wowza. Is this a monster hook? Hooray for the Connells, and hooray for Pseu.
	12:32pm Dan Solo: Yes!! The Connells
	♥ 12:33pm Hughie Considine: They still play occasional shows down in the N.C. region.
	12:34pm Websie: I have located the audio jack on my work computer, so I have rejoined the live Hookoisie.
	12:34pm Dan Solo: I've never met anyone who had a bad time at a Connells show
	♥ 12:36pm Uncle Michael: hello
	♥ 12:37pm Hughie Considine: Nice one, @Websie: Vive la Hookoisie!
	12:40pm clarke: goddammmmmm!!!
	♥ 12:40pm Uncle Michael: "Pseusoisie" isn't bad, either.
	12:41pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: 8:00 in the morning is early for me.
	12:41pm Roberto: My compromise is getting up at a fairly normal time in the morning but then sleeping most of the afternoon.
	12:41pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: As a teenager, my mom would vacuum the house loudly, banging it on the door to get me out of bed.
	12:42pm Roberto: I don't know, my cats can scratch on the door pretty loudly when they want to get in.
	12:42pm Jeff Moore: That's bullshit. Morning people aren't virtuous, they're just obnoxious. Like vegans.
	12:44pm Roberto: Vegans aren't necessarily obnoxious. If you're wondering why they always tell you they're vegan it's because y'all are always trying to shove non-vegan crap in their faces.
	12:44pm clarke: so true!!!
	12:45pm clarke: (not the vegan stuff - what is being said ON THE AIR!)
	12:45pm rw: I can barely remember my kids' names.
	12:45pm Roberto: Ha! I keep calling the kids the cats' names and vice versa.
	♥ 12:46pm Uncle Michael: I've been laboring under the illusion that you liked me, Jeff.
	♥ 12:47pm holland oats: Just ate a beyond burger, checks in on board, oh...
	12:48pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: He was right, Ronnie was not a real man.
	12:48pm JakeGould: @Jeff: So in agreement… I hate hipsters… They are morning creatures… They get up at dawn… They have vegan diets… They have stupid tiny feet… Wait, I meant hamsters… I hate hamsters.
	♥ 12:50pm ChrisB.: Dave, Doug, Ronnie. Must be getting crowded in there.
	12:50pm Davee: HEY RONNIE!
	12:50pm Jeff Moore: @Roberto: actually true, but shades of meaning don't make for a snappy post. I know this from all the people who tune out when I send emails filled with all the detail they actually need to make an informed decision.
	12:50pm Roberto: Word, Jeff!
	12:50pm BonjourHi: Hi mom
	12:51pm Itzall Ablurr: It sounds like a catchphrase from "Hee-Haw", in my opinion.
	♥ 12:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: My uncle, who had an upstairs room, said that Grandma would call to him to wake up and he'd bump his foot on the floor a bit and she'd think he was up and then he'd just stay in bed a while longer.
	12:52pm Itzall Ablurr: See?!?
	12:52pm Davee: Use Orgy instead then
	12:53pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Jamboree makes me think of those animatronic animals performing at Chuck E Cheese.
	12:54pm Davee: Guzzle
	12:54pm Candice Loves Dilly Bars: The word jamboree makes my skin crawl. It reminds me of the Country Bear Jamboree.
	12:55pm clarke: Ivy League origins perhaps??
	12:55pm Davee: Quaff to me means something quite different
	12:56pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: The word for me is panties.
	12:56pm Roberto: The instructors in my martial arts classes always say "belly." I think it's because they teach a lot of little kids' classes too. But yeah, I have a hard time stomaching it LOLz
	12:56pm Davee: Winnie the Pooh?
	♥ 12:56pm Hughie Considine: On the plus side, there's Chris Spedding's "Guitar Jamboree."
	12:56pm Itzall Ablurr: Belly/Poo/"Booty" Jeesus are we THREE?!?
	12:57pm ratso: Grow up, Davee, it's Winnie the Shit.
	♥ 12:57pm ChrisB.: My wife has intense hatred for the word "veggies."
	12:57pm Davee: Hi Ratso!
	12:57pm Roberto: Winnie the Fecal Matter?
	12:58pm BonjourHi: my boo loves to poo
	12:58pm Beast of Boonton: those products should put a film on the top of the water that keeps the stink contained
	12:59pm Davee: Express yourself!
	12:59pm Davee: I stream in the bathroom
	12:59pm CeeDubbles: Christ on a cracker, what happened to Jonesy & X rays' voices?!?
	12:59pm ratso: Hey-oh! But yeah, I gotta say Poo should go. I think that emoji made it as popular as it is.
	12:59pm ?: Another product "poo-pourri".... & it works!
	♥ 1:00pm Stevel: Extrude
	1:00pm Davee: I poo poo the idea
	1:00pm Beast of Boonton: people should leave their poo at home
	1:00pm Davee: Ronnie Hill!
	1:01pm Lixiviated Life: While I would support your right to construct your own vocabulary, I can not endorse the right to censor another. Words should be free, for you and me.
	♥ 1:05pm The Oscar: The two words I can't stand are "gastropub" and "thinkpiece." One is a maddeningly "smart" word for a simple thing, and the other is a needlessly dumbed down word for an equally simple thing.
	1:09pm Sam: Yeah, fish is disgusting
	1:10pm ratso: No, Phish is disgusting.
	1:10pm carrots: felt the same way about Ween... takin a piss... but they are artists... why can't art be infused with humor.. why so uptight?
	1:10pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: What about that Ben & Jerrys ice cream flavor Phish Food?
	1:10pm carrots: keep the phish on ice or it'll start to stink...
	♥ 1:11pm Tommy in Neversink: I don't get the Grateful Dead but I understand the attraction to them..or do I ?
	1:11pm Sam: These two both have such sexy voices!
	1:12pm Itzall Ablurr: "Give a man a phish and after asking you for even more phish he will try to turn you on to ween"
	1:14pm Itzall Ablurr: @Sam, you got that right.
	1:14pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I never got into either Phish or the Grateful Dead. Did see Ween in the 90s at Maxwells. Does that count?
	1:15pm Colin and Dani in Durham, England: Who was the comedian she was on about?
	1:18pm Sam: No imaginary dogs were imagined to be hurt for this story
	1:19pm P-90: Did Dave just get referred to as a "comic"?
	♥ 1:20pm Vanessa bikes: yes, who? I am dying to know. but I don't know why it matters.
	1:21pm Beast of Boonton: Are we missing something?
	1:23pm JakeGould: Dave Hill? Is there drama here?
	1:30pm clarke: well, Lonesome Dave was in the band for a while when they were playing in pubs - but only on one album
	1:31pm P-90: I've been watching John Oliver just to hear the theme music. Mostly.
	♥ 1:32pm Tommy in Neversink: The thing about stand up comedy is ..there are the comedians you are laughing WITH and there are those you are laughing AT and some do a bit of both. Like Seinfeld and Carlin are regular guys who are making observations about society...you're laughing with them . Kennison and Kaufman are outlandish characters, you're laughing at them.
	1:32pm ratso: I liked when a Valley Lodge song popped up on an episode of Schitt’s Creek. Eugene Levy and Dave Hill? Perfect together.
	1:38pm Lixiviated Life: What you're really after is: prosciutto di parma
	♥ 1:39pm Luisa24: It's true, real Italians speak Italian!
	1:39pm Sam: The whole thing with gabagool and muzzarell is like they're trying to sound American, by dropping the vowel at the end. It's like they're ashamed of being too Itailan. I think that's where it came from originally. Same with calling tomato sauce "gravy".
	♥ 1:39pm Lizardner Dave Somethingorother: Aw, I was hoping to hear the word "like" a few more times.
	♥ 1:39pm rsj: just get speck, it's better
	1:41pm droogie: americanized sicilian dialect. beyond irritating.
	1:41pm JakeGould: I hear pizza in Italy is completely different than the pizza we have in the USA. Wow! What a world!
	1:42pm Jeff Moore: @droogie: You want some manniGOAT?
	1:42pm Beast of Boonton: @Lizardner Dave - Like, who got that started?
	♥ 1:43pm The Oscar: I once had dinner with a friend and her then-boyfriend, and he was trying to pronounce "spinoccoli" with an accent on the third syllable, as if it were a fancy Italian dish and not a stupid portmanteau of spinach and broccoli.
	1:43pm VFranQui: Love this song. Makes me think of The Flaming Lips.
	♥ 1:44pm rsj: annoying is someone responding to "how you doin" with anything other than "how you doin"
	1:51pm clarke: would that it were so simple....
	1:52pm kehlme66: Where is he playing in Columbus?
	1:54pm dez: Hey pseu and dave!!!
	1:55pm JakeGould: @rsj: You can always shrug and say “Ehhhh…”
	1:55pm dez: daytime pedal talk!!!
	1:55pm Brendan: Hey thing with a hookers
	1:56pm clarke: BOOST!
	1:56pm Sam: If someone asks how you doin' you can say "Better than some. Not as bad as others."
	1:57pm Brendan: If you get a hooker with a thing consult your local pimp for a refund , unless of course that’s your thing
	1:57pm Sam: I love things, hooks, and doing it for Pseu
	1:58pm dez: "workin hard?" "hardly workin."
	♥ 1:58pm Hughie Considine: Here's a really annoying term: "baby bump"
	1:59pm Sam: Yes Hughie, that's the most annoying ever!
	1:59pm Sam: I'm also not crazy about "I got your back"
	♥ 2:00pm Hughie Considine: yup, and I hate "my bad" but can't quite stop saying it.
	2:00pm droogie: @jeff moore: just shoot me now.
	2:00pm VFranQui: Kehlme66, The Ace of Cups. 2619 N. High St. Columbus, OH 43202
	2:00pm Brendan: I like the term hook (songwriting) much better than lick (guitar ).
	2:01pm Listening Out There: Add to the cliche' heap: "Here's the thing..."
	2:02pm JakeGould: At work my new thing is if someone asks me “How is XYZ project going…” I just make a thhhppptttt noise and say, “Whatever!”
	♥ 2:03pm Hughie Considine: I despise "sophomore effort." It's used so reflexively for any second record. We don't say "junior" album, or effort. Why is the second one referred to as an effort, but no one says "the band's first effort"?
	2:04pm Brendan: I had a boss that used to object or raise a point in meetings by saying ‘Well my thing is ...’ . I really didn’t want to know about her thing.
	2:06pm Sam: Those are some words of wisdom from Dave. There will always be some little thing that brings you joy, no matter how depressed you are. You have to latch onto that and chase that rainbow wherever it takes you.
	2:06pm VFranQui: "Think outside the box" upsets me.
	♥ 2:06pm Kat in Chicago: This Pseu & Dave conversation is so good.
	2:08pm Sigurður: VFRAN the box...
	2:08pm clarke: enjoying the conversation, i was strumming my guit, and i just now figured out that doug gillard's Thing W/A Hook's intro notes are the same as Badfinger's Baby Blue, played at a different rhythm.
	2:08pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I wish I was sitting in there talking with you guys about (New York accent) DC hardcore.
	2:08pm Brendan: Remember Bullshit Bingo? http://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/meetings.pdf
	♥ 2:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: 50% on the Pledge-o-Matic. Help Pseu hit the target!
	2:10pm Sam: It's like the beatles meets zeppelin meets bob dylan meets shakespeare. If none of them had any talent.
	♥ 2:13pm Krys O.: My BP just rose a thousand points dealing with calls about a football pool that some people in my office participate in that I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH. I am relying on Pseu and Dave's voices to calm me down. It's helping.
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: Van Morrison meets the Georgia pines, meets a ribeye steak.
	♥ 2:15pm doctorjazz: Love Valley Lodge, nice to hear this !
	♥ 2:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Better copyright Death Valley Lodge before the squatters take it.
	♥ 2:16pm Bill in W.O.: Aw, Pseu. Love where you guys are going with this conversation today, you don't hear people actually talk about "that feeling," and it's great.
	♥ 2:17pm Luisa24: I am enjoying the convo too. It's interesting because I have a 18 year old guitarist son (at Berklee in Boston). He comes up with these beautiful guitar riffs that I could listen to over and over and he includes it only once in a song. It drives me crazy, it is such a tease.
	2:17pm melinda: @Hughie baby bump is ick, I agree
	2:23pm Sam: Dave, will you have Pseu as a guest on your show?
	2:26pm Lixiviated Life: "... and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel"
	2:27pm clarke: would that it were so simple...
	♥ 2:31pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the cool show, Pseu.
	2:35pm flashbazbo: Ween aren't a jam band. 1. They're funny.
	♥ 2:37pm Mike Sin: I very much enjoyed that conversation between Dave and Pseu. I'll just add -- I think it's important as folks get older not to turn into an instantly reflexive "judging machine" when it comes to a lot of new music. At this point, I've got a lot of my own hard-wired tastes, but it's better a lot of times to just hear something and say "that's just not for me" than to automatically go into the "that sucks" mode. Sometimes I think a lot folks from my age bracket ("generation x") just can't accept that their "hipness factor" ain't the commodity it once was.
	2:39pm clarke: well, that's kinda the 'point' about getting old, right? the only problem is that most of the 'older' people are correct: their music was a lot better!!
	2:40pm clarke: but, it is heartening to hear that a Gen-X person finds themself 'older', ha ha
	2:42pm clarke: but i hear what Mr. Sin is saying - close-minded-ness is rampant. i do it, i know... i sometimes dive into _____ to see what's out there, and then jump right back into my closed mind.
	2:44pm clarke: i have this thing (w/a hook) that if someone (i know) tells me to listen to something, i will do it, honestly, with an open mind. but, i also feel free to be completely honest when i review it to them, as well.
	2:46pm Sam: It's hard to be open minded about new pop music that's totally corporate, all written by the same two guys in Sweden, designed specifically to get stuck in your head by being annoying and repetitive, instead of beautiful or interesting. They're counting on enough "open minded" people to let it slide, and think it's them who are out of touch, instead of the music being poor quality.
	2:47pm clarke: agreed sam!
	♥ 2:48pm Pseu Braun: What is classic about this thread is that...well, I play A LOT of new music and you all seem to stick around so maybe you like it?
	2:49pm clarke: i know i will get hate for this, but i am also a person who cannot take rap/hiphop seriously in any way.
	2:50pm steveL: Very cool show. Cool conversation. Mike Sin is dead on, per usual.
	2:50pm clarke: it is because you CULL the good stuff - we are not saying there is not good out there, it just takes a lot of digging these days, where back when all you had to do was turn on any radio
	2:53pm mb: Excellent shoe. Great talk! @clarke: ____ ___
	2:54pm ratso: Yes, what Sam said. Corporate pop is (mostly) as flavorful as a Razzzle after it's turned into gum.
	♥ 2:54pm Jim H: First, Pseu plays plenty of stuff I have on my iTunes rotation—or stuff I don't have by folks I know. But second, she also plays tons of cool new stuff. Some I love and want to hear again and some is meh, but hey I've always been that way. Also, big MWAH to Pseu. Did my part!
	2:55pm clarke: THANX SO MUCH!!! when someone re-arranges their day around a radio - they must love it!!
	♥ 2:56pm Jim H: Also, you old fogey Gen Xers ain't seen nothing yet. AI pop is here: www.rawstory.com...
	♥ 2:59pm Jim H: Jefferson Pilot was an old insurance company back in the '60s and '70s. Sponsored a lot of ACC basketball, if that means anything.
	♥ 3:00pm rsj: great show, wish dave laid down some dripping hot licks

	12:52pm Itzall Ablurr: See?!?
	12:52pm Davee: Use Orgy instead then
	12:53pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Jamboree makes me think of those animatronic animals performing at Chuck E Cheese.
	12:54pm Davee: Guzzle
	12:54pm Candice Loves Dilly Bars: The word jamboree makes my skin crawl. It reminds me of the Country Bear Jamboree.
	12:55pm clarke: Ivy League origins perhaps??
	12:55pm Davee: Quaff to me means something quite different
	12:56pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: The word for me is panties.
	12:56pm Roberto: The instructors in my martial arts classes always say "belly." I think it's because they teach a lot of little kids' classes too. But yeah, I have a hard time stomaching it LOLz
	12:56pm Davee: Winnie the Pooh?
	♥ 12:56pm Hughie Considine: On the plus side, there's Chris Spedding's "Guitar Jamboree."
	12:56pm Itzall Ablurr: Belly/Poo/"Booty" Jeesus are we THREE?!?
	12:57pm ratso: Grow up, Davee, it's Winnie the Shit.
	♥ 12:57pm ChrisB.: My wife has intense hatred for the word "veggies."
	12:57pm Davee: Hi Ratso!
	12:57pm Roberto: Winnie the Fecal Matter?
	12:58pm BonjourHi: my boo loves to poo
	12:58pm Beast of Boonton: those products should put a film on the top of the water that keeps the stink contained
	12:59pm Davee: Express yourself!
	12:59pm Davee: I stream in the bathroom
	12:59pm CeeDubbles: Christ on a cracker, what happened to Jonesy & X rays' voices?!?
	12:59pm ratso: Hey-oh! But yeah, I gotta say Poo should go. I think that emoji made it as popular as it is.
	12:59pm ?: Another product "poo-pourri".... & it works!
	♥ 1:00pm Stevel: Extrude
	1:00pm Davee: I poo poo the idea
	1:00pm Beast of Boonton: people should leave their poo at home
	1:00pm Davee: Ronnie Hill!
	1:01pm Lixiviated Life: While I would support your right to construct your own vocabulary, I can not endorse the right to censor another. Words should be free, for you and me.
	♥ 1:05pm The Oscar: The two words I can't stand are "gastropub" and "thinkpiece." One is a maddeningly "smart" word for a simple thing, and the other is a needlessly dumbed down word for an equally simple thing.
	1:09pm Sam: Yeah, fish is disgusting
	1:10pm ratso: No, Phish is disgusting.
	1:10pm carrots: felt the same way about Ween... takin a piss... but they are artists... why can't art be infused with humor.. why so uptight?
	1:10pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: What about that Ben & Jerrys ice cream flavor Phish Food?
	1:10pm carrots: keep the phish on ice or it'll start to stink...
	♥ 1:11pm Tommy in Neversink: I don't get the Grateful Dead but I understand the attraction to them..or do I ?
	1:11pm Sam: These two both have such sexy voices!
	1:12pm Itzall Ablurr: "Give a man a phish and after asking you for even more phish he will try to turn you on to ween"
	1:14pm Itzall Ablurr: @Sam, you got that right.
	1:14pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I never got into either Phish or the Grateful Dead. Did see Ween in the 90s at Maxwells. Does that count?
	1:15pm Colin and Dani in Durham, England: Who was the comedian she was on about?
	1:18pm Sam: No imaginary dogs were imagined to be hurt for this story
	1:19pm P-90: Did Dave just get referred to as a "comic"?
	♥ 1:20pm Vanessa bikes: yes, who? I am dying to know. but I don't know why it matters.
	1:21pm Beast of Boonton: Are we missing something?
	1:23pm JakeGould: Dave Hill? Is there drama here?
	1:30pm clarke: well, Lonesome Dave was in the band for a while when they were playing in pubs - but only on one album
	1:31pm P-90: I've been watching John Oliver just to hear the theme music. Mostly.
	♥ 1:32pm Tommy in Neversink: The thing about stand up comedy is ..there are the comedians you are laughing WITH and there are those you are laughing AT and some do a bit of both. Like Seinfeld and Carlin are regular guys who are making observations about society...you're laughing with them . Kennison and Kaufman are outlandish characters, you're laughing at them.
	1:32pm ratso: I liked when a Valley Lodge song popped up on an episode of Schitt’s Creek. Eugene Levy and Dave Hill? Perfect together.
	1:38pm Lixiviated Life: What you're really after is: prosciutto di parma
	♥ 1:39pm Luisa24: It's true, real Italians speak Italian!
	1:39pm Sam: The whole thing with gabagool and muzzarell is like they're trying to sound American, by dropping the vowel at the end. It's like they're ashamed of being too Itailan. I think that's where it came from originally. Same with calling tomato sauce "gravy".
	♥ 1:39pm Lizardner Dave Somethingorother: Aw, I was hoping to hear the word "like" a few more times.
	♥ 1:39pm rsj: just get speck, it's better
	1:41pm droogie: americanized sicilian dialect. beyond irritating.
	1:41pm JakeGould: I hear pizza in Italy is completely different than the pizza we have in the USA. Wow! What a world!
	1:42pm Jeff Moore: @droogie: You want some manniGOAT?
	1:42pm Beast of Boonton: @Lizardner Dave - Like, who got that started?
	♥ 1:43pm The Oscar: I once had dinner with a friend and her then-boyfriend, and he was trying to pronounce "spinoccoli" with an accent on the third syllable, as if it were a fancy Italian dish and not a stupid portmanteau of spinach and broccoli.
	1:43pm VFranQui: Love this song. Makes me think of The Flaming Lips.
	♥ 1:44pm rsj: annoying is someone responding to "how you doin" with anything other than "how you doin"
	1:51pm clarke: would that it were so simple....
	1:52pm kehlme66: Where is he playing in Columbus?
	1:54pm dez: Hey pseu and dave!!!
	1:55pm JakeGould: @rsj: You can always shrug and say “Ehhhh…”
	1:55pm dez: daytime pedal talk!!!
	1:55pm Brendan: Hey thing with a hookers
	1:56pm clarke: BOOST!
	1:56pm Sam: If someone asks how you doin' you can say "Better than some. Not as bad as others."
	1:57pm Brendan: If you get a hooker with a thing consult your local pimp for a refund , unless of course that’s your thing
	1:57pm Sam: I love things, hooks, and doing it for Pseu
	1:58pm dez: "workin hard?" "hardly workin."
	♥ 1:58pm Hughie Considine: Here's a really annoying term: "baby bump"
	1:59pm Sam: Yes Hughie, that's the most annoying ever!
	1:59pm Sam: I'm also not crazy about "I got your back"
	♥ 2:00pm Hughie Considine: yup, and I hate "my bad" but can't quite stop saying it.
	2:00pm droogie: @jeff moore: just shoot me now.
	2:00pm VFranQui: Kehlme66, The Ace of Cups. 2619 N. High St. Columbus, OH 43202
	2:00pm Brendan: I like the term hook (songwriting) much better than lick (guitar ).
	2:01pm Listening Out There: Add to the cliche' heap: "Here's the thing..."
	2:02pm JakeGould: At work my new thing is if someone asks me “How is XYZ project going…” I just make a thhhppptttt noise and say, “Whatever!”
	♥ 2:03pm Hughie Considine: I despise "sophomore effort." It's used so reflexively for any second record. We don't say "junior" album, or effort. Why is the second one referred to as an effort, but no one says "the band's first effort"?
	2:04pm Brendan: I had a boss that used to object or raise a point in meetings by saying ‘Well my thing is ...’ . I really didn’t want to know about her thing.
	2:06pm Sam: Those are some words of wisdom from Dave. There will always be some little thing that brings you joy, no matter how depressed you are. You have to latch onto that and chase that rainbow wherever it takes you.
	2:06pm VFranQui: "Think outside the box" upsets me.
	♥ 2:06pm Kat in Chicago: This Pseu & Dave conversation is so good.
	2:08pm Sigurður: VFRAN the box...
	2:08pm clarke: enjoying the conversation, i was strumming my guit, and i just now figured out that doug gillard's Thing W/A Hook's intro notes are the same as Badfinger's Baby Blue, played at a different rhythm.
	2:08pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I wish I was sitting in there talking with you guys about (New York accent) DC hardcore.
	2:08pm Brendan: Remember Bullshit Bingo? http://newt.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/meetings.pdf
	♥ 2:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: 50% on the Pledge-o-Matic. Help Pseu hit the target!
	2:10pm Sam: It's like the beatles meets zeppelin meets bob dylan meets shakespeare. If none of them had any talent.
	♥ 2:13pm Krys O.: My BP just rose a thousand points dealing with calls about a football pool that some people in my office participate in that I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH. I am relying on Pseu and Dave's voices to calm me down. It's helping.
	♥ 2:13pm Uncle Michael: Van Morrison meets the Georgia pines, meets a ribeye steak.
	♥ 2:15pm doctorjazz: Love Valley Lodge, nice to hear this !
	♥ 2:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Better copyright Death Valley Lodge before the squatters take it.
	♥ 2:16pm Bill in W.O.: Aw, Pseu. Love where you guys are going with this conversation today, you don't hear people actually talk about "that feeling," and it's great.
	♥ 2:17pm Luisa24: I am enjoying the convo too. It's interesting because I have a 18 year old guitarist son (at Berklee in Boston). He comes up with these beautiful guitar riffs that I could listen to over and over and he includes it only once in a song. It drives me crazy, it is such a tease.
	2:17pm melinda: @Hughie baby bump is ick, I agree
	2:23pm Sam: Dave, will you have Pseu as a guest on your show?
	2:26pm Lixiviated Life: "... and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel"
	2:27pm clarke: would that it were so simple...
	♥ 2:31pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the cool show, Pseu.
	2:35pm flashbazbo: Ween aren't a jam band. 1. They're funny.
	♥ 2:37pm Mike Sin: I very much enjoyed that conversation between Dave and Pseu. I'll just add -- I think it's important as folks get older not to turn into an instantly reflexive "judging machine" when it comes to a lot of new music. At this point, I've got a lot of my own hard-wired tastes, but it's better a lot of times to just hear something and say "that's just not for me" than to automatically go into the "that sucks" mode. Sometimes I think a lot folks from my age bracket ("generation x") just can't accept that their "hipness factor" ain't the commodity it once was.
	2:39pm clarke: well, that's kinda the 'point' about getting old, right? the only problem is that most of the 'older' people are correct: their music was a lot better!!
	2:40pm clarke: but, it is heartening to hear that a Gen-X person finds themself 'older', ha ha
	2:42pm clarke: but i hear what Mr. Sin is saying - close-minded-ness is rampant. i do it, i know... i sometimes dive into _____ to see what's out there, and then jump right back into my closed mind.
	2:44pm clarke: i have this thing (w/a hook) that if someone (i know) tells me to listen to something, i will do it, honestly, with an open mind. but, i also feel free to be completely honest when i review it to them, as well.
	2:46pm Sam: It's hard to be open minded about new pop music that's totally corporate, all written by the same two guys in Sweden, designed specifically to get stuck in your head by being annoying and repetitive, instead of beautiful or interesting. They're counting on enough "open minded" people to let it slide, and think it's them who are out of touch, instead of the music being poor quality.
	2:47pm clarke: agreed sam!
	♥ 2:48pm Pseu Braun: What is classic about this thread is that...well, I play A LOT of new music and you all seem to stick around so maybe you like it?
	2:49pm clarke: i know i will get hate for this, but i am also a person who cannot take rap/hiphop seriously in any way.
	2:50pm steveL: Very cool show. Cool conversation. Mike Sin is dead on, per usual.
	2:50pm clarke: it is because you CULL the good stuff - we are not saying there is not good out there, it just takes a lot of digging these days, where back when all you had to do was turn on any radio
	2:53pm mb: Excellent shoe. Great talk! @clarke: ____ ___
	2:54pm ratso: Yes, what Sam said. Corporate pop is (mostly) as flavorful as a Razzzle after it's turned into gum.
	♥ 2:54pm Jim H: First, Pseu plays plenty of stuff I have on my iTunes rotation—or stuff I don't have by folks I know. But second, she also plays tons of cool new stuff. Some I love and want to hear again and some is meh, but hey I've always been that way. Also, big MWAH to Pseu. Did my part!
	2:55pm clarke: THANX SO MUCH!!! when someone re-arranges their day around a radio - they must love it!!
	♥ 2:56pm Jim H: Also, you old fogey Gen Xers ain't seen nothing yet. AI pop is here: www.rawstory.com...
	♥ 2:59pm Jim H: Jefferson Pilot was an old insurance company back in the '60s and '70s. Sponsored a lot of ACC basketball, if that means anything.
	♥ 3:00pm rsj: great show, wish dave laid down some dripping hot licks
