WFMU: Play Vertigo with Mayuko: Playlist from December 1, 2018

Listener comments!
	11:18am fred: I usually don't post before the show, but I went to the PhD defense of a friend this week (thesis title "At the margins of noise. A study of noise music and DIY") and I wanted to share the long summary without disrupting the flow of the show: Although noise music has only recently become an object of interest for academic research, it still represents a form of art emblematic of the underground music scene. It is characterized by a radical approach which implies using noise as work material, playing with form and development, and hybridizing its stylistic territories. This approach is reflected by playing practices in which the emphasis is no longer laid on the supremacy of instruments and composition, but rather on playful and makeshift experimentation. Musical quality is not assessed on the artist’s technical skills anymore, while the listening conditions call for a specific implication of both body and environment. The practices of production, organization, and diffusion of music, borrowing from the éthos of DIY, place autonomy, versatility, and amateurism at the heart of this art world. This PhD research, based on musical analyses, press archives, field surveys, topographies, and an ethnographic study of the Parisian scene, proposes an interdisciplinary approach marked by musicology, aesthetics, and social sciences. Its aim is to question the way noise music and its specific social practices challenge the manner in which we conventionally apprehend what we consider as music, and even “good” music, the image of the musician, the artistic intermediaries or the stage, in light of what seems to constitute a new contemporary paradigm of experimentation.
	11:58am Mayuko: Sounds super difficult!!! I'm guessing all these things were spoken like avant-garde poem reading and your friend would knock things off of tables from time to time to add some noises?
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon and happy December, Mayuko, Fred, and all!
	12:02pm Mayuko: FELIZ diciembre, listener james!!!
	12:02pm listener james from westwood: Saturdays are natural for cartoon sounds! Good follow-up to Amanda's kids' show, too!
	12:03pm fred: Good afternoon Mayuko and all @Mayuko: not at all. There were a bunch of noise scene regulars in attendance, which just jelled with what she said about the focus on community in that scene
	12:03pm JakeGould: Hey Mayuko!
	12:05pm Mayuko: @james Oh yeah! I should follow her show with music for all the happy adults with miserable childhood!!!
	12:06pm Mayuko: @fred nice! the noise scene does seem to often have a strong sense of community, and those little communities all over the world are often well-connected with each other internationally. I always liked that about the noise/experimental music.
	12:07pm Mayuko: Hola Jake!!! Cómo estás?
	12:07pm rw: Good morning!
	12:08pm Dropof Goldensun: Greetings Mayuko and Listenerds!
	12:08pm Brian in UK: Hello Mayuko and those without ear defenders. Just swanning around on this damp, dismal day. @fred like the use of the word 'playful'. Essential.
	12:09pm Mayuko: Buenos dias, rw! Got your email, will respond later :)
	12:10pm Mayuko: Hola mi listenerd Dropof!!
	12:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hola, Señörita Mayuko.
	12:13pm Mayuko: @Brian People without ear defenders! That's indeed my listenerds! Thanks for tuning in!
	12:13pm Mayuko: Hola, senor Ken!!
	12:14pm rw: We're commenting en español? I'm having enough trouble with inglés.
	12:14pm Dropof Goldensun: I was unable to listen last week. :(
	12:16pm rw: Upbeat glitch-dance musica is helping though.
	12:16pm Dropof Goldensun: My "studio" is almost back to being set up so hopefully I will begin working on my experimental birthday song soon!
	12:17pm JakeGould: @Mayuko: Mi es frio. Mi es bueno.
	12:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: ¡Olé!
	12:17pm rw: DG, a song for experimental birthdays?
	12:17pm Sem: Hello, Mayuko---I'm waving from a giant swan-shaped pedal boat in the Bay of Fundy today! Hello, Vertigo guys and gals, and all.
	12:17pm fred: @Dropof Goldensun: I hope you'll share it with us
	12:17pm JakeGould: Doing laundry but outside in the sun because I can’t stand these dark days.
	12:17pm Mayuko: @rw Si, inglés es malo.
	12:18pm Dropof Goldensun: If I get it done I will of course share it.
	12:21pm rw: Lavandería.. enseguida vuelvo.
	12:22pm JakeGould: El caliente duck de Central Park es muy cute sleeping. https://twitter.com/birdcentralpark/status/1068498701604265986?s=21
	12:24pm JakeGould: ¡Hay no! Watch as el caliente Duck de Central Park is attacked by a mallard hater! https://twitter.com/birdcentralpark/status/1068348443465342976?s=21
	12:24pm Mayuko: @Dropof aw that's wonderful! Listenerd Joe B's tradition of DYI experimental bday songs now taken over!
	12:27pm Brian in UK: Mayuko, one of our daughters wants a copy of Essential Kanji for Christmas.
	12:28pm Mayuko: @Sem Wow, sounds like you're having a great time except just a little cold?!?! Thank you for tuning in!!! I love it when an adult taking a swan boat solo.
	12:29pm Sem: A----dult?
	12:30pm fred: This show has been unexpectedly cheerful so far. Almost making feel nervous and out of place
	12:30pm Dropof Goldensun: I hoping several Listenerds go for it too! Would be fun.
	12:31pm Mayuko: @Jake I thought the duck was doing great and not being bullied by other local ducks. But I guess now that he gets all the attention, of course he'd have some haters too.
	12:32pm Brian in UK: @Sem, Mayuko did not say 'a grown up'!!
	12:32pm rw: Joe's done an experimental birthday song? fred, it's okay.
	12:34pm Joe B: ¡Hola! Beunos días listernerds. Por favor haz muchas canciones de cumpleaños experimentales.
	12:34pm Brian in UK: Mayoko, s'funny I thought the OMitD sounded like Big Audio Dynamite, then Moroder's album has the same title as BAD's greatest hit. Maybe it is not funny.
	12:34pm Sem: Touché, Brian.
	12:35pm rw: Brian, does she watch Japanese cartoons (I forget what the genre is called)? I know of at least a couple kids who learned Japanese that way.
	12:35pm Mayuko: @Brian Maybe I should get that for myself for Christmas too. My kanji ability has become pretty disastrous.
	12:35pm Mayuko: @fred your comment made me literally lol.
	12:36pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Mayuko - I got my poster, thanks a lot!
	12:38pm rw: ¡Jose! ¿Cómo estás?
	12:38pm JakeGould: @Mayuko: Yeah, some of the other ducks have issues. But it wouldn’t be there if it was so bad. Still, there are pics of the duck being aggressive to other, bigger ducks. It’s actually tiny compared to others. https://twitter.com/birdcentralpark/status/1067627933676826625?s=21
	12:40pm Mayuko: Man, you California listenerds can handle Spanish so well of course. The Spanish lessons I've taken have not advanced any more than buncha manzana talks yet!!
	12:40pm Brian in UK: @rw she does admire Studio Ghibli's output.
	12:42pm Mayuko: Hola Henry! I'm assuming I cannot pronounce H of your name today. Enry!
	12:42pm Jose B: @rw Bien, muy bien. @Mayuko Google translate es mi amigo.
	12:42pm Brian in UK: Other daughter is trying to learn Spanish (well South American) via Skype from a Colombian living in Germany. I'm lost.
	12:43pm Mayuko: @Jose B Ah! haha! Bienvenido a mi radio!
	12:44pm rw: Brian, my daughter is a fan of that stuff too. She's got tree spirit stickers on the back window of her car. Hope you guys have a happy Christmas! And I need to check out now. ¡Gracias Mayuko para la musica feliz! ¡Hasta la vista Jose y los listenerds!
	12:45pm ike: Hi!
	12:45pm Webhamster Henry: ¡Yo soy Enrique! Yo tomo frijoles soy. ¡Fuera Yanquis! Yo hablo Español que Miguel Bloombito. twitter.com...
	12:47pm Mayuko: Gracias rw! Hasta la vista!
	12:48pm Mayuko: Hola Ike!!
	12:48pm listener james from westwood: Enjoying the dance party today!!
	12:49pm Mayuko: @james at the end of the day, dance music is the best.
	12:49pm Dropof Goldensun: I just flooded the lab so I'm dancing with my mop!
	12:50pm fred: @Ike: So nice to have you here again, where have you been?
	12:50pm Mayuko: Web hámster Enrique!
	12:50pm paul b: Swan Boats always remind me of a (possibly apocryphal) story George Harrison and Eric Clapton are sitting in the record companies office hashing out the contractually obligated song Badge when Ringo Starr walks in and starts talking about swan boats. Harrison & Clapton look at each other and say: that is going in this song.
	12:52pm ike: Once or twice, I’ve compared the dubbed version of a Ghibli film to the subtitled version, and found surprisingly I preferred the dubbed version. Normally I prefer subtitles. I don’t know any Japanese obviously, but the dubs of those movies always have great voices and the translations are smoother in English (though maybe not as accurate? IDK).
	12:54pm Brian in UK: @rw best wishes to you too.
	12:56pm listener james from westwood: Yay to happiness in this season and to deriving joy from an orderly closet or any other small bit of order in one's life!
	12:56pm Dropof Goldensun: I have a pen, I have a apple! PPAP! Ha!
	12:57pm fred: The only phrase I remember from my disastrous attempt to learn German is "ich bin ein papagei", which isn't going to be useful, ever
	12:59pm listener james from westwood: I wish I'd kept up my Spanish. It was really coming along in senior year of high school; I could follow lots of my Cuban American friends' parents' rapid-fire conversational lingo, and a lot of the Spanish channels in the NYC area. Then I placed highly enough on the Advanced Placement exam to skip language in college, and over the high school-to-college summer my skills diminished to sub-Sesame Street level.
	12:59pm Dropof Goldensun: youtu.be...
	12:59pm ike: Decades ago, my Spanish classes started with a bizarre-o irregular verb, “gustar” — terrible idea! So then everybody tried to use “me” w/all the verbs instead of “yo”. That guy had no business teaching Spanish.
	1:02pm Webhamster Henry: The Spanish I have is mostly by osmosis. I once had to admonish a bus seat mate once not to be using his cell phone with whatever I could put together out of the words that might have worked!
	1:04pm JakeGould: Ah, eh, ee, oh uh. Arbolito del Peru. Yo me llama, Jack. Comps te llamas tu? Mi favorite jugador de biesball es Fernando Venezuela. That is what I remember from junior high school Spanish class.
	1:06pm Dropof Goldensun: Yes Mayuko, my music studio. I'm still recovering from my move. I'm hoping to have my synths and assorted gadgets all hooked back up in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait!
	1:10pm Mayuko: @paul b Why did Ringo start talking about swan boats? Although I can clearly picture him in a swan boat solo and part of me thinks of course he would talk about swan boats.
	1:13pm Mayuko: @fred Unless something kafkaesque thing happens to you. And if it happens to happen in Germany.
	1:14pm Sem: @fred: of course I would have to go Babelfish and enter "ich bin ein papagei" Frankly, i think you'd be well-served to drop that phrase into your everyday encounters, especially with those who understand German I took German lessons for about a month and wound up w/ a Bavarian accent but no understanding whatever of the language.
	1:15pm Mayuko: @james I'd call it a huge success for myself when I get to Sub-Sesame Street level from this all-manzanas level. It's a bummer that it takes so long to learn a language, and yet you can forget it in a very short time!
	1:16pm JakeGould: Mi nombre es Jack. Mi vivir en la ciudad de Nueva York.
	1:17pm Mayuko: @Ike this Manzanas-app I'm using seems to be doing much better than el gustar hombre!
	1:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Conversely, it's kind of neat to be in Tijuana and the only English to be found is in a liquor store where there's a shelf with a sign reading "¡With the worm!"
	1:22pm fred: It was in a comic book supposed to help students learn German. Thing is the teacher in my first year fell ill a month in and wasn't replaced, then the second year teacher thought we were fourth year students and would only speak German. Seriously, that German disaster is why I had to take a science education, I was just too bad in German to go into humanities, as I wished
	1:28pm Mayuko: @Ken Everything else doesn't really matter but we do need to know and be prepared if there's a worm in our drink!!!!!!
	1:28pm Dropof Goldensun: I took 4 years of Italian in HS and years later when I went to Italy, I knew just enough to make a total fool of myself.
	1:29pm Doug Schulkind: Exposure to a steady stream. I like the sound of that!
	1:33pm david_: I prefer to drop the vowels at the end, Jersey style
	1:34pm Mayuko: @Dropof I've gone through many years of feeling like a complete fool not knowing how to speak in an English-speaking country, I dunno why I'm about to put myself in that position all over again! But I guess it's inevitable when learning a new language... and it's also kind of fun.
	1:35pm Mayuko: Si, Doug!!!!! Hola!!!!!!!
	1:37pm Mayuko: Hola, david! How do you do that? Not pronounce vowels?
	1:38pm fred: I would like to learn Arabic and Japanese, but my horrible French accent in English tells me I'm no good at this game
	1:39pm Dropof Goldensun: Yes it is fun! I was pretty good with Italian but if you don't use it, you lose it! I had no one to speak to. I'm Italian but my mom didn't speak it. My dad did but he died during my second year of college and the desire to practice it more didn't come until I was a bit older.
	1:39pm paul b: Mayuko, I can't find this story on the internet at the moment but I think I remember he had just come from a park where they had some. They had them in the pond in Boston Commons too, when I was a kid.
	1:40pm Dropof Goldensun: Honestly, making a fool of myself in a non English speaking country was really no different than me making a fool of myself regularly in this country!
	1:41pm ike: @fred@12:50, where have I been? Well I was in Taiwan for a couple of weeks and that was a blast but other than that I think I’m usually here...? Oh and last week family was visiting. Usually I hit the archives if I miss it live. Still trying to finish listening to the Joe McG guest star show from like a month ago!
	1:42pm Mayuko: @fred I think Japanese doesn't have much of anything complicated to pronounce though!
	1:43pm rbrt: club vertigo today!
	1:44pm fred: @Mayuko: I think it's not a tonal language too, which would help. But the scripts are challenging
	1:47pm ike: I love languages but I often freeze up while speaking English much less trying Russian or Spanish or whatever. Chinese in Taiwan was the worst. I tried to learn a few phrases and could barely even do that. They were especially hard to remember for some reason.
	1:47pm Mayuko: @Dropof Yes, actually, it's easy to forget that there are many things that one wouldn't understand anyway even if it was explained in their mother tongue.
	1:50pm fred: @Ike: Tonal languages are extra hard because there's like an extra dimension we don't have here
	1:50pm Mayuko: @Ike Literally everything I said in my attempts of pronouncing Chinese in Hong Kong never made nowhere. Not even one "excuse me" worked. Chinese too hard!!!
	1:51pm Brian in UK: Good thing that music has a common language.
	1:51pm Mayuko: Hola rbrt! Bienvenido a mi radio!
	1:52pm fred: Brian for the win!
	1:52pm rbrt: Hola Mayuko and amigos? Gracias
	1:53pm ike: Right, but Thai is also tonal and I didn’t have as much trouble learning a few phrases there, or remembering them, but maybe their tones aren’t as heavily implemented. Or maybe they just have so many tourists that they’re more used to visitors massacring their language. That’s probably it.
	1:53pm rbrt: that's all I got lol
	1:54pm rbrt: I can't even count how many times I said i was going to learn spanish and then I stop after like 2 weeks
	1:55pm ike: @Mayuko, oh wow, good to know I’m not the only one!
	1:56pm Webhamster Henry: I'm worst in English speaking countries like Scotland where I try to "fit in".
	1:58pm fred: @Ike: I was told North Viet Nam has an extra tone that doesn't exist in the South, and they use that to assert dominance at times, but mainly to "returning" expats from the US. Language can be a weapon
	1:59pm rbrt: I like that Lena Willikens track
	1:59pm Jose B: Usually when I watch a Japanese movie without subs, I understand parts of it but other parts are foggy. I kind of enjoy that feeling -- it reminds me of watching movies when I was five or six years old. Maybe learning a foreign language is a way of feeling mentally young.
	2:00pm Brian in UK: @Webhamster Henry, try Dilligaf. Roughly translates as I do not give a f...
	2:01pm rbrt: interesting thought Jose!
	2:01pm Dropof Goldensun: Esperanto is the way!
	2:01pm Sem: Been whole floating swan peddle-boat full of fun today, Mayuko. Thank you. There's a good chance I'll be seeing you and all next week, pero tengo dudas.
	2:02pm fred: Thanks Mayuko. For the record the second set didn't trigger any anxiety in me NHK is a very nice guy from all I've heard
	2:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: ¿Dos horas? ¡Adios, Señörita Mayuko!
	2:03pm listener james from westwood: Oooh, gotta get some of those Montreal-style bagels! Have an amazing time up there!
	2:03pm Webhamster Henry: Bye Mayuko! Hear ya next week!
	2:04pm Dropof Goldensun: Great mix of tunes today! Oh no! It appears I'm on a bi weekly schedule with this show! Have fun in Canada, don't make a fool of yourself! ;) Have a great week everyone!
	2:04pm rbrt: enjoy your trip Mayuko!
	2:04pm Brian in UK: We went to an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam many years ago. I tried my Dutch on the owner. He laughed. It was funny an Italian laughing at an Englishman in a third language.
	2:05pm Jose B: Gracias Mayuko! Hasta la vista!
	2:05pm Brian in UK: Oh, and the Minestrone and Pizza were first class.
	2:06pm fred: New Order!
	2:06pm Brian in UK: Thanks, Mayuko.
	2:06pm Mayuko: @fred re 2nd set I knew you were going to say that! Haha!!
	2:08pm Mayuko: @Dropof I'll try my horrible attempts of greeting in French while I'm there!!
	2:09pm Dropof Goldensun: Sounds like fun!! Can't wait to hear about it!
	2:11pm Mayuko: Gracias everyone for listening! See you next time!!!!!!

	11:58am Mayuko: Sounds super difficult!!! I'm guessing all these things were spoken like avant-garde poem reading and your friend would knock things off of tables from time to time to add some noises?
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon and happy December, Mayuko, Fred, and all!
	12:02pm Mayuko: FELIZ diciembre, listener james!!!
	12:02pm listener james from westwood: Saturdays are natural for cartoon sounds! Good follow-up to Amanda's kids' show, too!
	12:03pm fred: Good afternoon Mayuko and all @Mayuko: not at all. There were a bunch of noise scene regulars in attendance, which just jelled with what she said about the focus on community in that scene
	12:03pm JakeGould: Hey Mayuko!
	12:05pm Mayuko: @james Oh yeah! I should follow her show with music for all the happy adults with miserable childhood!!!
	12:06pm Mayuko: @fred nice! the noise scene does seem to often have a strong sense of community, and those little communities all over the world are often well-connected with each other internationally. I always liked that about the noise/experimental music.
	12:07pm Mayuko: Hola Jake!!! Cómo estás?
	12:07pm rw: Good morning!
	12:08pm Dropof Goldensun: Greetings Mayuko and Listenerds!
	12:08pm Brian in UK: Hello Mayuko and those without ear defenders. Just swanning around on this damp, dismal day. @fred like the use of the word 'playful'. Essential.
	12:09pm Mayuko: Buenos dias, rw! Got your email, will respond later :)
	12:10pm Mayuko: Hola mi listenerd Dropof!!

	12:17pm rw: DG, a song for experimental birthdays?
	12:17pm Sem: Hello, Mayuko---I'm waving from a giant swan-shaped pedal boat in the Bay of Fundy today! Hello, Vertigo guys and gals, and all.
	12:17pm fred: @Dropof Goldensun: I hope you'll share it with us
	12:17pm JakeGould: Doing laundry but outside in the sun because I can’t stand these dark days.
	12:17pm Mayuko: @rw Si, inglés es malo.
	12:18pm Dropof Goldensun: If I get it done I will of course share it.
	12:21pm rw: Lavandería.. enseguida vuelvo.
	12:22pm JakeGould: El caliente duck de Central Park es muy cute sleeping. https://twitter.com/birdcentralpark/status/1068498701604265986?s=21
	12:24pm JakeGould: ¡Hay no! Watch as el caliente Duck de Central Park is attacked by a mallard hater! https://twitter.com/birdcentralpark/status/1068348443465342976?s=21
	12:24pm Mayuko: @Dropof aw that's wonderful! Listenerd Joe B's tradition of DYI experimental bday songs now taken over!
	12:27pm Brian in UK: Mayuko, one of our daughters wants a copy of Essential Kanji for Christmas.
	12:28pm Mayuko: @Sem Wow, sounds like you're having a great time except just a little cold?!?! Thank you for tuning in!!! I love it when an adult taking a swan boat solo.
	12:29pm Sem: A----dult?
	12:30pm fred: This show has been unexpectedly cheerful so far. Almost making feel nervous and out of place
	12:30pm Dropof Goldensun: I hoping several Listenerds go for it too! Would be fun.
	12:31pm Mayuko: @Jake I thought the duck was doing great and not being bullied by other local ducks. But I guess now that he gets all the attention, of course he'd have some haters too.
	12:32pm Brian in UK: @Sem, Mayuko did not say 'a grown up'!!
	12:32pm rw: Joe's done an experimental birthday song? fred, it's okay.
	12:34pm Joe B: ¡Hola! Beunos días listernerds. Por favor haz muchas canciones de cumpleaños experimentales.
	12:34pm Brian in UK: Mayoko, s'funny I thought the OMitD sounded like Big Audio Dynamite, then Moroder's album has the same title as BAD's greatest hit. Maybe it is not funny.
	12:34pm Sem: Touché, Brian.
	12:35pm rw: Brian, does she watch Japanese cartoons (I forget what the genre is called)? I know of at least a couple kids who learned Japanese that way.
	12:35pm Mayuko: @Brian Maybe I should get that for myself for Christmas too. My kanji ability has become pretty disastrous.
	12:35pm Mayuko: @fred your comment made me literally lol.
	12:36pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Mayuko - I got my poster, thanks a lot!
	12:38pm rw: ¡Jose! ¿Cómo estás?
	12:38pm JakeGould: @Mayuko: Yeah, some of the other ducks have issues. But it wouldn’t be there if it was so bad. Still, there are pics of the duck being aggressive to other, bigger ducks. It’s actually tiny compared to others. https://twitter.com/birdcentralpark/status/1067627933676826625?s=21
	12:40pm Mayuko: Man, you California listenerds can handle Spanish so well of course. The Spanish lessons I've taken have not advanced any more than buncha manzana talks yet!!
	12:40pm Brian in UK: @rw she does admire Studio Ghibli's output.
	12:42pm Mayuko: Hola Henry! I'm assuming I cannot pronounce H of your name today. Enry!
	12:42pm Jose B: @rw Bien, muy bien. @Mayuko Google translate es mi amigo.
	12:42pm Brian in UK: Other daughter is trying to learn Spanish (well South American) via Skype from a Colombian living in Germany. I'm lost.
	12:43pm Mayuko: @Jose B Ah! haha! Bienvenido a mi radio!
	12:44pm rw: Brian, my daughter is a fan of that stuff too. She's got tree spirit stickers on the back window of her car. Hope you guys have a happy Christmas! And I need to check out now. ¡Gracias Mayuko para la musica feliz! ¡Hasta la vista Jose y los listenerds!
	12:45pm ike: Hi!
	12:45pm Webhamster Henry: ¡Yo soy Enrique! Yo tomo frijoles soy. ¡Fuera Yanquis! Yo hablo Español que Miguel Bloombito. twitter.com...
	12:47pm Mayuko: Gracias rw! Hasta la vista!
	12:48pm Mayuko: Hola Ike!!
	12:48pm listener james from westwood: Enjoying the dance party today!!
	12:49pm Mayuko: @james at the end of the day, dance music is the best.
	12:49pm Dropof Goldensun: I just flooded the lab so I'm dancing with my mop!
	12:50pm fred: @Ike: So nice to have you here again, where have you been?
	12:50pm Mayuko: Web hámster Enrique!
	12:50pm paul b: Swan Boats always remind me of a (possibly apocryphal) story George Harrison and Eric Clapton are sitting in the record companies office hashing out the contractually obligated song Badge when Ringo Starr walks in and starts talking about swan boats. Harrison & Clapton look at each other and say: that is going in this song.
	12:52pm ike: Once or twice, I’ve compared the dubbed version of a Ghibli film to the subtitled version, and found surprisingly I preferred the dubbed version. Normally I prefer subtitles. I don’t know any Japanese obviously, but the dubs of those movies always have great voices and the translations are smoother in English (though maybe not as accurate? IDK).
	12:54pm Brian in UK: @rw best wishes to you too.
	12:56pm listener james from westwood: Yay to happiness in this season and to deriving joy from an orderly closet or any other small bit of order in one's life!
	12:56pm Dropof Goldensun: I have a pen, I have a apple! PPAP! Ha!
	12:57pm fred: The only phrase I remember from my disastrous attempt to learn German is "ich bin ein papagei", which isn't going to be useful, ever
	12:59pm listener james from westwood: I wish I'd kept up my Spanish. It was really coming along in senior year of high school; I could follow lots of my Cuban American friends' parents' rapid-fire conversational lingo, and a lot of the Spanish channels in the NYC area. Then I placed highly enough on the Advanced Placement exam to skip language in college, and over the high school-to-college summer my skills diminished to sub-Sesame Street level.
	12:59pm Dropof Goldensun: youtu.be...
	12:59pm ike: Decades ago, my Spanish classes started with a bizarre-o irregular verb, “gustar” — terrible idea! So then everybody tried to use “me” w/all the verbs instead of “yo”. That guy had no business teaching Spanish.
	1:02pm Webhamster Henry: The Spanish I have is mostly by osmosis. I once had to admonish a bus seat mate once not to be using his cell phone with whatever I could put together out of the words that might have worked!
	1:04pm JakeGould: Ah, eh, ee, oh uh. Arbolito del Peru. Yo me llama, Jack. Comps te llamas tu? Mi favorite jugador de biesball es Fernando Venezuela. That is what I remember from junior high school Spanish class.
	1:06pm Dropof Goldensun: Yes Mayuko, my music studio. I'm still recovering from my move. I'm hoping to have my synths and assorted gadgets all hooked back up in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait!
	1:10pm Mayuko: @paul b Why did Ringo start talking about swan boats? Although I can clearly picture him in a swan boat solo and part of me thinks of course he would talk about swan boats.
	1:13pm Mayuko: @fred Unless something kafkaesque thing happens to you. And if it happens to happen in Germany.
	1:14pm Sem: @fred: of course I would have to go Babelfish and enter "ich bin ein papagei" Frankly, i think you'd be well-served to drop that phrase into your everyday encounters, especially with those who understand German I took German lessons for about a month and wound up w/ a Bavarian accent but no understanding whatever of the language.
	1:15pm Mayuko: @james I'd call it a huge success for myself when I get to Sub-Sesame Street level from this all-manzanas level. It's a bummer that it takes so long to learn a language, and yet you can forget it in a very short time!
	1:16pm JakeGould: Mi nombre es Jack. Mi vivir en la ciudad de Nueva York.
	1:17pm Mayuko: @Ike this Manzanas-app I'm using seems to be doing much better than el gustar hombre!
	1:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: Conversely, it's kind of neat to be in Tijuana and the only English to be found is in a liquor store where there's a shelf with a sign reading "¡With the worm!"
	1:22pm fred: It was in a comic book supposed to help students learn German. Thing is the teacher in my first year fell ill a month in and wasn't replaced, then the second year teacher thought we were fourth year students and would only speak German. Seriously, that German disaster is why I had to take a science education, I was just too bad in German to go into humanities, as I wished
	1:28pm Mayuko: @Ken Everything else doesn't really matter but we do need to know and be prepared if there's a worm in our drink!!!!!!
	1:28pm Dropof Goldensun: I took 4 years of Italian in HS and years later when I went to Italy, I knew just enough to make a total fool of myself.
	1:29pm Doug Schulkind: Exposure to a steady stream. I like the sound of that!
	1:33pm david_: I prefer to drop the vowels at the end, Jersey style
	1:34pm Mayuko: @Dropof I've gone through many years of feeling like a complete fool not knowing how to speak in an English-speaking country, I dunno why I'm about to put myself in that position all over again! But I guess it's inevitable when learning a new language... and it's also kind of fun.
	1:35pm Mayuko: Si, Doug!!!!! Hola!!!!!!!
	1:37pm Mayuko: Hola, david! How do you do that? Not pronounce vowels?
	1:38pm fred: I would like to learn Arabic and Japanese, but my horrible French accent in English tells me I'm no good at this game
	1:39pm Dropof Goldensun: Yes it is fun! I was pretty good with Italian but if you don't use it, you lose it! I had no one to speak to. I'm Italian but my mom didn't speak it. My dad did but he died during my second year of college and the desire to practice it more didn't come until I was a bit older.
	1:39pm paul b: Mayuko, I can't find this story on the internet at the moment but I think I remember he had just come from a park where they had some. They had them in the pond in Boston Commons too, when I was a kid.
	1:40pm Dropof Goldensun: Honestly, making a fool of myself in a non English speaking country was really no different than me making a fool of myself regularly in this country!
	1:41pm ike: @fred@12:50, where have I been? Well I was in Taiwan for a couple of weeks and that was a blast but other than that I think I’m usually here...? Oh and last week family was visiting. Usually I hit the archives if I miss it live. Still trying to finish listening to the Joe McG guest star show from like a month ago!
	1:42pm Mayuko: @fred I think Japanese doesn't have much of anything complicated to pronounce though!
	1:43pm rbrt: club vertigo today!
	1:44pm fred: @Mayuko: I think it's not a tonal language too, which would help. But the scripts are challenging
	1:47pm ike: I love languages but I often freeze up while speaking English much less trying Russian or Spanish or whatever. Chinese in Taiwan was the worst. I tried to learn a few phrases and could barely even do that. They were especially hard to remember for some reason.
	1:47pm Mayuko: @Dropof Yes, actually, it's easy to forget that there are many things that one wouldn't understand anyway even if it was explained in their mother tongue.
	1:50pm fred: @Ike: Tonal languages are extra hard because there's like an extra dimension we don't have here
	1:50pm Mayuko: @Ike Literally everything I said in my attempts of pronouncing Chinese in Hong Kong never made nowhere. Not even one "excuse me" worked. Chinese too hard!!!
	1:51pm Brian in UK: Good thing that music has a common language.
	1:51pm Mayuko: Hola rbrt! Bienvenido a mi radio!
	1:52pm fred: Brian for the win!
	1:52pm rbrt: Hola Mayuko and amigos? Gracias
	1:53pm ike: Right, but Thai is also tonal and I didn’t have as much trouble learning a few phrases there, or remembering them, but maybe their tones aren’t as heavily implemented. Or maybe they just have so many tourists that they’re more used to visitors massacring their language. That’s probably it.
	1:53pm rbrt: that's all I got lol
	1:54pm rbrt: I can't even count how many times I said i was going to learn spanish and then I stop after like 2 weeks
	1:55pm ike: @Mayuko, oh wow, good to know I’m not the only one!
	1:56pm Webhamster Henry: I'm worst in English speaking countries like Scotland where I try to "fit in".
	1:58pm fred: @Ike: I was told North Viet Nam has an extra tone that doesn't exist in the South, and they use that to assert dominance at times, but mainly to "returning" expats from the US. Language can be a weapon
	1:59pm rbrt: I like that Lena Willikens track
	1:59pm Jose B: Usually when I watch a Japanese movie without subs, I understand parts of it but other parts are foggy. I kind of enjoy that feeling -- it reminds me of watching movies when I was five or six years old. Maybe learning a foreign language is a way of feeling mentally young.
	2:00pm Brian in UK: @Webhamster Henry, try Dilligaf. Roughly translates as I do not give a f...
	2:01pm rbrt: interesting thought Jose!
	2:01pm Dropof Goldensun: Esperanto is the way!
	2:01pm Sem: Been whole floating swan peddle-boat full of fun today, Mayuko. Thank you. There's a good chance I'll be seeing you and all next week, pero tengo dudas.
	2:02pm fred: Thanks Mayuko. For the record the second set didn't trigger any anxiety in me NHK is a very nice guy from all I've heard
	2:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: ¿Dos horas? ¡Adios, Señörita Mayuko!
	2:03pm listener james from westwood: Oooh, gotta get some of those Montreal-style bagels! Have an amazing time up there!
	2:03pm Webhamster Henry: Bye Mayuko! Hear ya next week!
	2:04pm Dropof Goldensun: Great mix of tunes today! Oh no! It appears I'm on a bi weekly schedule with this show! Have fun in Canada, don't make a fool of yourself! ;) Have a great week everyone!
	2:04pm rbrt: enjoy your trip Mayuko!
	2:04pm Brian in UK: We went to an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam many years ago. I tried my Dutch on the owner. He laughed. It was funny an Italian laughing at an Englishman in a third language.
	2:05pm Jose B: Gracias Mayuko! Hasta la vista!
	2:05pm Brian in UK: Oh, and the Minestrone and Pizza were first class.
	2:06pm fred: New Order!
	2:06pm Brian in UK: Thanks, Mayuko.
	2:06pm Mayuko: @fred re 2nd set I knew you were going to say that! Haha!!
	2:08pm Mayuko: @Dropof I'll try my horrible attempts of greeting in French while I'm there!!
	2:09pm Dropof Goldensun: Sounds like fun!! Can't wait to hear about it!
	2:11pm Mayuko: Gracias everyone for listening! See you next time!!!!!!
