	6:07pm dale: those guys sound ladylike. but you know - musical theater.
	6:07pm Linda Lee: this is a step beyond, Micah. beyond beyond.
	6:08pm Joanne: found the musical on YouTube... looks even weirder than it sounds
	6:08pm Carmichael: These guys are derived from The Shouters, a Chinese counter-revolutionary group from the 80s.
	6:08pm queems: can you imagine having to spend the whole week looking for this stuff
	6:08pm Linda Lee: if tooth extraction was music .. .
	6:09pm Carmichael: A new low. Where do we go from here?
	6:10pm Kat in Chicago: That's one damned perky terrorist organization
	💆 6:10pm chris: welp, i'm terrified. hi, micah and folks.
	6:11pm Joanne: yeah definitely creepy, even creepier now that we know the're terrorists
	6:13pm ultradamno: So don't defend Darwin to these people, got it.
	6:13pm queems: hell yeah alien cult let's do this
	6:15pm Linda Lee: well, this one definitely sounds preferable.
	6:17pm coelacanth∅: so, you don't mean terrorist like the catholic church or the nation of islam,or the united states government, but a different kind of terrorist?
	6:18pm ultradamno: Is this a Smithsonian field recording?
	6:19pm queems: she's still going
	6:20pm Carmichael: "Followers believe that Brasilia is the new spiritual capital of civilisation and that a spaceship from another planet is hovering above the Earth."
	6:20pm Linda Lee: i cannot stop seeing 'valley of the dolls' ..
	6:21pm Carmichael: The comparatively safe and sane world of UFO believers.
	6:22pm Joanne: wow their outfits look like anime cosplay
	6:22pm tim from champaign: Beneath the Valley of The Dawn - where Z-Man is the cult leader.
	6:23pm Carmichael: I wonder if Steph Curry believes in UFOs?
	6:23pm Krys O.: Reminds me of the extra Lenten masses in the Polish Catholic tradition that I went to with my mom as a kid.
	6:24pm queems: hit em with that harmony
	6:26pm Carmichael: Looks like the average age of this cult is about 75.
	6:28pm ultradamno: Well, if you had a working relationship with a spirit, I guess you would write about it.
	6:28pm Linda Lee: i'm sorry, people, but do truly spiritual people really go for the pop star life?
	6:29pm Joanne: pop songs!? can't wait to hear it
	6:30pm ultradamno: First few notes of "And Then He Kissed Me"?
	6:30pm Carmichael: Bon Jovi cult?
	6:30pm coelacanth∅: is this Elvis Costello?
	6:30pm Joanne: well "pop" is supposed to be popular, for mass "consumption", right? So I guess if you wanted to get your cult noticed it makes sense @Linda Lee
	6:30pm queems: @carmichael YES
	6:31pm Andy (DC): Hey this sounds like Elvis Costello!
	6:31pm mrmikestandsir: jon bon meets mr. costello
	6:31pm Linda Lee: walk like a god, talk like a god, you'll be a god my son..
	6:31pm ultradamno: Sooner or later you'll be my elevator? no, man.
	6:31pm Andy (DC): Jinx, coelacanth0!
	6:32pm Carmichael: I wonder if they're a hair/spandex band.
	6:32pm tim from champaign: Man, all I have to say is if Lars' music suckers you in, then you deserve to be suckered.
	6:32pm Linda Lee: but Joanne! a person of spiritual integrity knows he needn't push it.
	6:32pm queems: KEY CHANGE
	💆 6:33pm Folsom: For some reason I am hearing Tom Petty.
	6:33pm Linda Lee: this is stinky.
	6:33pm Carmichael: A leather gloved fist is pumping the air right about now.
	6:33pm ultradamno: He couldn't have switched it escalator at least once?
	6:34pm Linda Lee: Blowing Big Boy's .. Brains?
	6:35pm ultradamno: I never would have thought a cult could rise up around The Vapors, but now it seems possible.
	6:35pm tim from champaign: And I thought evangelicals had shitty music.
	6:35pm Carmichael: There's a picture of him with his #1 fan, Alan Jardine.
	6:35pm Krys O.: Is that really the album title?
	6:35pm mrmikestandsir: backed by missing persons...?
	6:35pm Joanne: @Linda, agreed
	6:35pm Linda Lee: he really couldn't decide which 80's mainstream pop success to rip off most, so he tried 'em all!
	6:36pm ultradamno: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	6:37pm ultradamno: darkmp3.su...
	6:37pm slugluv1313: YIKES!!!!!!!! is Lars in jail for pedophilia yet???? a special place indeed
	6:37pm Carmichael: www.larsmuhl.com...
	6:38pm queems: i like this one
	6:38pm micah: en.wikipedia.org...
	6:38pm Carmichael: Michael Franks cult?
	6:40pm Jeff Moore: No, Mr. Lama, no!
	6:40pm Krys O.: Could be, Carmichael. I think we heard Franks' influence in another show's selection.
	6:40pm ultradamno: Why does the Dalai Lama look like the excited one?
	6:40pm Carmichael: This is dentist office music. Or an opener for Kenny G.
	6:40pm slugluv1313: oh gosh he is touring! but only in Denmark, as far as i can tell
	6:40pm dale: i always wanted to put 'mystic' on my resume. i should have for all the good my resume did me.
	6:40pm Jeff Moore: "caused painful kundalini-like experiences"
	6:41pm Linda Lee: that was a pretty guitar line, but that's about it.
	6:41pm Jeff Moore: WTFing F.
	6:41pm Joanne: that album title is so creepy
	6:42pm dale: listen to his early band 'daisy' - pretty good stuff of the era. www.discogs.com...
	6:42pm queems: CAN'T WAIT
	6:43pm ultradamno: You're hitting all the right superlatives.
	💆 6:43pm chris: uh oh
	6:43pm slugluv1313: oooooo The Jonestown Express!
	6:43pm tim from champaign: Oh man, I've heard some of this. Heavy.
	6:43pm ultradamno: Is there a Brian Jonestown Express?
	6:43pm queems: wow this is new levels of fucked up
	6:44pm Joanne: so suspenseful
	6:44pm coelacanth∅: haha it figures the dalai lama would befriend this douche!
	6:45pm tim from champaign: The Jonestown American Experience doc is really worth seeking out if you have not seen it already.
	6:45pm coelacanth∅: (@6.38)
	6:46pm queems: damn she's really right up on that mic
	💆 6:46pm Folsom: wasn't it Flavoraid vs Koolaid?
	6:46pm Carmichael: I was a member of the UN military mission that arrived in Jonestown after the deaths. My wife (girlfriend at the time) worked in California as an unpaid intern to Rep. Leo Ryan. Complete coincidence. Some shit I can never un-remember.
	6:47pm dale: lordy!
	6:47pm dale: my wine glass just shattered
	6:47pm J: This will be much better when Numero remixes and reissues
	6:48pm queems: oh no
	6:48pm Krys O.: Egad, Carmichael!
	6:49pm Linda Lee: i'm sure we can't imagine, really.
	6:49pm Jeff Moore: I keep trying to break myself of using phrases related to "drinking the Kool-Aid" lightly, to show some respect for the victims of that mass murder... but sometimes I fail.
	6:49pm dale: witness to history carmichael. not our best history, but history nevertheless.
	6:49pm Jeff Moore: Holy fuck, @Carmichael.
	6:50pm ultradamno: Instead of "drinking the Kool Aid" the idiom should be "following your cult leader to somewhere impossibly remote"
	6:50pm Linda Lee: how old was this poor girl?
	💆 6:52pm chris: i met Jones' son Steven and his daughters when they came by to visit my neighbor several years ago. the pain and suffering in his face is something i'll never forget.
	6:52pm dale: our extinguished guests?
	6:53pm coelacanth∅: poor girl? what about us listeners?!
	6:53pm melinda: I've always thought the kool-aid metaphor was imprecise, at least the way people tend to use it. Like the imbibing of it is part of an ongoing indoctrination ritual when really it was a one-time death thing.
	6:54pm slugluv1313: goodness, Carmichael -- how awful -- sending you POSITIVE ENERGY
	6:55pm melinda: @Carm holy crap.
	6:55pm Tommy in Neversink: I went to a few Bihai meetings in High Point , NC in the 70s
	6:56pm ultradamno: @Melinda Straight murder. It was drink it or be shot.
	6:56pm Linda Lee: what were they like, Tommy?
	6:56pm Tommy in Neversink: Wasn't exactly the "high point " of my life
	6:56pm LilyAbigale: Nice flute work! Soothing after remembering Jonestown. Thanks.
	6:57pm Rich in Washington: Not to be the pedant, but it should be 'Drank the Flavor Aid', since that's what they really used.
	6:57pm Tommy in Neversink: LL, hard to remember , people were pretty nice and I'd never had Iranian food which was great
	6:58pm Linda Lee: that's not bad!
	6:59pm Jeff Moore: Good point, @melinda. Maybe the spectre of an imprecise metaphor can help me rein myself in where a wish not to trivialize human tragedy hasn't quite done it.
	💆 6:59pm chris: thanks, micah. tough one todoy, but much appreciated.
	6:59pm melinda: @ultradamno exactly. Flavor-aid as loaded gun. Drinking it wasn't necessarily a sign of belief in the cause, some people were forcibly injected with poison as well.
	7:00pm Tommy in Neversink: LL..along those lines: went to the Indian grocery in Middltown today
	7:00pm coelacanth∅: i would've thrown the koolaid in the face (mouth, eyes, nose) of the person with the gun and if i couldn't run away at least i'd be shot and there'd be more immediate proof that it was murder. (...of course if i were weak enough to be there in the first place that might not have happened)
