	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Erica!
	10:06pm Erica: Another day pf tornado warnings. Ugh.
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: Same here.
	10:07pm Erica: of tornado warnings. Stupid typo.
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: We had lots of crazy thunder and lightning but thankfully not much wind and no hail that I saw.
	🥁 10:12pm Granny Spicy Tuna: howdy, testifiers! checked with all my pals in the Lawrence, Kansas area and so far everyone got thru that tornado ok.
	10:13pm Erica: Good for you Granny!
	10:13pm Franco Twinkie: Strangely, Jim Doval and The Gauchos also cut some records that could be classified as surf music. there was this weird animosity between surfers in L,A. in the sixties and some Mexican American kids(not me!) it was very real.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Granny!
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: The Premiers were from San Gabriel.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - The Chicano bands were playing ALL KINDS of music. Stay tuned!
	10:15pm doctorjazz: I'm not Testifying unless I get a subpoena, and not even then!
	10:16pm chresti: Dance party records.
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	🥁 10:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna: i have had hypnotherapy, and so my testifying is questionable
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: True that, Larry. But there was also this social aspect that went hand in hand with the music.
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: The cool thing is, many of these groups were integrated, some with Chicano, black and white members all together
	10:19pm Matt from New Orleans: I zoned out doing work and missed the first 15 minutes. Glad to be hear listening to Larry for the 4th time live in the last five days.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt!
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: Arthur Lee wrote some songs for The Pomona Casuals.
	🥁 10:22pm Granny Spicy Tuna: ooh, tech excitement: i just carried my new bluetooth speaker across the hall and into another room, and it's still sounding great!
	10:26pm doctorjazz: What speaker did you get, GST?
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - You are correct!
	10:31pm Franco Twinkie: Regarding The Atlantics - i think they were referencing Atlantic Blvd that skirted East L.A. and ran all the way to the beach and cut through many Mexican American communities.
	10:31pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m a big fan of this Vicky Gomez
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Me too. I was very happy to find a copy of this 45.
	10:32pm Erica: Sounds like Motown
	10:32pm Matt from New Orleans: Is your copy worn down from playing it Larry? It sounds like the grooves are separating.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of her doing this on Shivaree
	10:34pm Erica: Love this song! "Call Me" is so loungy.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: Okay here's a good one - Chris Montez was a surfer!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: I LOVE THIS RECORD!
	10:34pm Matt from New Orleans: Seeing Chris Montez at the stomp was fantastic
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: That must have been cool
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I bet these guys played at The Haunted House.
	10:42pm Erica: Good one Franco! Sounds like pig noises to me.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: They were actually the Sinners, the house band from Hollywood A Go Go. I have no idea if they were contractually prohibited from recording using that name or what, but they sound like they played live a lot, probably at every club in Hollywood
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: I was referring to Tony, Vic and Manuel
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Yes.
	10:44pm Parq: Great typo - Lan of 1,000 Dances. That's what you call the external drive where you keep all your dance music.
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: Ha!
	10:45pm Erica: Haha parq. reminds me of the first iPods from the 2000s.
	10:48pm northguineahills: It's been a Larrypalooza!
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! I'm just about all paloozaed out. I need sleep!
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: LSD!
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: You got it!
	10:51pm Erica: Hang in there Larry.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: so does ? & the mysterians come into focus for this program?
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of Thee Midniters miming this at Angels Stadium on Shebang!
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Thanks!
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: @C - No, this is all Southern California. Question Mark and the boys were from Michigan
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: Get ready, the next song will make your hair stand on end (in a good way).
	10:54pm northguineahills: I told Marcel et al when I got home late last night from trivia, but a women came in that was friends w/ one of my trivia partners looked off. It turns out her ex stalked her there to the bar, so me and her friend shielded her, and I just engaged in friendly conversation and tried not to do anything that could be construed as flirty, as the guy looked like he could destroy me. After she two beers, I saw them off in a car, and hope all went well. I was scared, but played it cool.
	10:54pm Parq: Erica, did you know they're introducing new iPods? The top model will be 256 GB and $400.
	10:54pm doctorjazz: My hair hasn't been there TO stand up in many years.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: oh right Larry. i think my subconscious was melding ? and the mysterians together with the seeds
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Forgive me, I think I already said this once. I watched Thee Midnighters practice one time. It was in a garage a few blocks from my house. I just followed the booming sound. I was ten years old.
	10:55pm northguineahills: her friend was 5'1 (she's a smart cookie), and I'm not the most intimidating species out there)
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - That's rough. It's good that you helped out.
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - I'll say it again, I am very jealous!
	10:56pm Erica: Doubt anyone would buy those new iPods now in this age of streaming and vinyl revival.
	🥁 10:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna: doctorjazz: to finally answer 10:26: Bose mini II
	10:57pm northguineahills: I just found a USB mp3 player from god knows when. And then there's the WFMU USB player w/ who knows how much music on it!
	10:57pm rw: I feel like this show was put together with Franco in mind.
	10:57pm Erica: Plus that's too expensive for an mp3 player anyway.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: The Giant Crab appeared earlier in their previous guise as Ernie and the Emperors
	10:58pm Matt from New Orleans: Giant Crab is a new one to me
	10:58pm rw: Hey!!
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: i have 2 cd walkmans. what would i need an ipod for?!
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Both of the Giant Crab albums are excellent
	11:00pm rw: That Thee Midniters track was fucking out of control.
	11:00pm doctorjazz: Seems an iPod is irrelevant these days, unless they went for a higher end sound (there are boutique audiophile music players out there). Otherwise, why not just use your phone for music (as my kids, and most folks out there, do).
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: RW! Yes. A lot of this was the sonic wall paper of my youth. At least one room of the house.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: I have to have my 160GB iPod. I have a back up in case it fails
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Jump Jive and Harmonize is one of the hardest hitting records ever!
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: You all are looking at the new iPod touch from its utility to you personally but there’s lot of other scenarios for it
	11:03pm northguineahills: I have a lot of SoCal 1940s Chicano music, does that count?
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: It does (musically) but not in this context. I'll have to dig out Lalo Guerrero's 'Marihuana' some time
	11:04pm northguineahills: The Pachuco Boogie comp is a good primer.
	11:04pm chresti: 1940s counts
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: well, i have (supposedly anyway) disengaged my phone from the internet. no gobble; no gps... anyway, do i need an endless selection of music wherever i go, when i listen to music constantly at home; and i have music in my head?
	11:04pm doctorjazz: I actually do use portableplayers...i have Neil Young's Pono (which met a sad commercial death), and a Pioneer xdp 300r, both of which are pretty nice sounding (handle high resolution files and all that audiophile geeky stuff.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: I know i'm going to have to find an iPod replacement at some point, because I too need to carry an endless supply of music in my pocket
	11:06pm Matt from New Orleans: I listen to high res audio on my iPhone. You have to do it in a roundabout way but it works.
	11:06pm Erica: I mostly store music on my laptops (I have a spare in case my main one has problems) and multiple 32GB flash drives.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: It was so funny when a lot of vatos went "hippie." We lived next door to some real hard ass drug dealers in the sixties. When they moved in they were total Lincoln Heights cholos, but then acid came in. It was our neighborhood sit com.
	🥁 11:08pm Granny Spicy Tuna: i still have and use my very decrepit old ipod for road trips
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: i think if i continued to bombared my mind with music everywhere i go as i do when i'm home (and sometimes at work and often in the car) i'd drown my own creative mind.
	11:08pm northguineahills: I carry music in my head when on the go, or wfmu on my phone....
	🥁 11:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Franco Twinkie: i would watch that sitcom
	11:09pm doctorjazz: I didn't think the iPhone handled high rez files...you must use a different music playing software on it. I thought it still had a limit on size of files (24/96), but I'm not sure it's easy to tell those from higher bit rate files.
	🥁 11:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna: and Larry, i can't resist, i do get up and dance every so often, this set is sizzzzlin'!
	11:11pm Matt from New Orleans: You are correct it won’t output more than 24/96 using vlc but on the go it’s doubtful you’d be able to notice the down res from 192 kHz if your files are at that rate
	11:11pm northguineahills: hahaha, Larry!
	11:13pm Erica: Y'deebedee That's all folks!
	11:13pm Erica: Sorry. Couldn't resist.
	11:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Also need to use an external DAC to make it work as well. The DAC will need to plug into the lightning port
	11:16pm northguineahills: Franco, you might like my collection of Mexican 78s from 1920s-1950s. I scoured junk stores in Mty and DF for them.
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: for later (Vicky Gomez) www.youtube.com...
	11:18pm Matt from New Orleans: I bought some in ear headphones from a company called 1more that has built in DAC and plugs into the lightning port. They were fairly reasonable for the sound quality. They discontinued the model I purchased. I wasn’t trying to make it more complicated with a DAC dongle and the headphones plugged into that.
	11:18pm doctorjazz: I've hooked my players to external dac/amps (have a set up with an iPad 3), but it's easier to just use the Pono or Pioneer in most instances.
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: NGH! Totally! I just dug out a box of 78's this morning for later study.
	11:20pm Matt from New Orleans: That requires me to carry an additional device with me. No need to step back in time carrying an iPod and a flip phone everywhere now my pockets.
	11:20pm Matt from New Orleans: Everywhere in my pockets
	11:21pm Carmichael: Whoa, just got here. Man did I miss some killer music.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Carmichael!
	11:23pm Carmichael: Thee Midnighters, the Premiers. SoCal cruisin’ tunes.
	11:24pm doctorjazz: Audeze has an open, in ear electrostatic headphone in an iPhone and non iPhone version. The iPhone version has a built in dac, pretty nice sounding, but really silly looking.
	11:25pm northguineahills: In my experience, the junkier and more clutter to the store, and the older the proprietor, no matter which country, the better find. (see my Cage and Xenakis finds in Bed-Stuy in a 6' pile of vinyl....
	11:29pm rw: We're moving into the Latin sound...
	11:29pm Matt from New Orleans: The 1mores are far more rudimentary than the audeze’s seem to be at least with the cypher cable
	11:29pm Parq: I gotta have my iPod 180G when I'm driving. Can't depend on the vageries of connectivity that streaming takes.
	11:30pm Parq: Like what Granny said.
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: More Grass! Haha!
	11:32pm Matt from New Orleans: I finally found a pic of them doc. Those are ducking ridiculous. No way would I walk around with the wing of tie fighter covering my ear
	11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I guess it’s good autocorrect messed up my profanity. Probably shouldn’t be cursing on here.
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Curse all you like. These are dark times.
	11:33pm Carmichael: I have my iPod with 6k+ songs in my car, set on random. Many many songs from FMU.
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: It's a miracle I don't curse on the air, with my mouth.
	11:35pm Matt from New Orleans: Well you’re on the stream so I’m not sure the fcc regs apply
	11:35pm Erica: Words are words.
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: Yeah but if I start, apres moi le deluge. I have a spectacularly foul mouth, especially when I'm driving. Best I keep it in the car.
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: i drive at least two minimum 1.5 hour trips/week. i have a radio i can get wfmu for the first 10-15 minutes from either end of the journey and a classical station that's good about 65% of the time for another 10 minutes. the rest of the time i sing.
	11:36pm Matt from New Orleans: It is part of a station with an fcc license so that might affect the situation. Whereas a completely digital station streaming over the internet has no fcc concerns whatsoever.
	11:38pm Erica: Wasn't what I meant but okay.
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: it's completely permissible here, but i understand why not to run with it
	11:39pm northguineahills: I listen to WFMU in my car on some days, and I'm 1500 miles away from the nearest antenna...
	11:39pm chresti: I curse when I drive
	11:39pm Carmichael: I love a creative cusser. I’m a foul mouthed bastard, but I try to mix it up.
	11:40pm Matt from New Orleans: It wasn’t in response to you specifically Erica but I don’t disagree with your sentiment. But to many women in the US, the c word is a big no no. In the UK, the c word stigma doesn’t seem to exist.
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: ngh what do you mean? via frequency modulation? is that possible?!
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: I swear so much people think I'm mentally defective.
	11:41pm doctorjazz: Seems the stream DJs have no problem cursing on air, so the chart board should be ok.
	11:41pm Erica: Yeah, I only swear occasionally anymore.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: I'm always yelling stuff like 'MOVE IT GRANDPA!" and then I pull up next to them and I'm like, 'Oh shit, that guy looks like he's my age'. Touche...
	11:42pm Erica: Only when very angry, doing impressions or quoting something, if I have to.
	11:42pm chresti: I modified my cussing after having a baby, when he grew up, I learned the term "cluster fuck" from him.
	11:43pm Carmichael: It means something very different in the UK, like a dizzy idiot. The f word is tolerable in social circles, as is “bloody”. But don’t say “bleedin’ “, as that is intolerable.
	11:43pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a great party the Village Callers are at!
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: i'd sure rather hear/see someone say/type Fuck than some ridiculousness like "effin'" or whatever...when it means fucking so everyone who sees it thinks fucking so what the hell's the point of not saying it? stupid. sorry.
	11:44pm Erica: Yeah I used to swear a lot as a kid (I was bad lol) but out of joking around. But as I got older, it came back to me and I became more afraid to curse.
	11:44pm Matt from New Orleans: NGH I find it incredibly hard to believe that you’re getting a WFMU signal on the panhandle. There’s clearly no line of site as the earth curves between the closest transmitter and Florida.
	11:45pm northguineahills: what if I'm Irish and I say feck, coel, you feckin' feck! :p (just joshing, and not Irish).
	11:45pm Erica: "Effin" is for people who are too scared say or don't feel like saying the actual F word (at least that's how I see it).
	11:45pm Carmichael: I’m Irish, so cursing is our native language. Ye feck, yah.
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: @11.40 Matt -though it seems most women who cring at "the c word" have no trouble calling a guy a dick
	11:46pm Dean: Just tuning in, and I see there's a thread pertaining to foul language, a topic near and dear to my heart. Very encouraging. I tell my kids my favorite local bus line is the F San Francisco, because, well, "F San Francisco!" They know well what F means. As for euphemisms, I prefer "friggin'" to "effin'." And did you know that "euphemism" is a euphemism for "bullshit"?
	11:46pm doctorjazz: It does seem amazing to get FMU out there, I can barely get it on Staten Island (unless you stream via phone or something along those lines).
	11:46pm northguineahills: @Matt: My car stereo gets WFMU from my phone. I'm technically barely in peninsular FL (thank ye goddesses, I could deal w/ the panhandle).
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: I'm with George Carlin in that 'shit' is just another word for 'stuff'.
	11:48pm Erica: One sentence about one thing leads to a conversation about it Dean. Can't mention what you've had for dinner and we end up talking about food restaurants lol.
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: The best swearing is in Spanish. Check out WPLJ by the Mother of Invention. Roy Estrada and Jimmy Carl Black are beyond hilarious.
	11:49pm Dean: My homies, El Chicano, nice. Dinner, Erica? I had some shit or another.
	11:49pm doctorjazz: This El Chicano track is Hot!
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: Which one, Doc?
	11:50pm northguineahills: When I was in Brooklyn, I couldn't get a WFMU radio signal until I was south and west of Prospect Park. @Franco: Don't get me started, my wife has called me every name in the book, even ones my other Latino friends have never heard...
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: yeah if i'm around children (not all children) or in certain other situations i might say "ficken", because, at least it's a real word.
	11:51pm northguineahills: Although the Scots and Serbs really up there in swearing Olympics....
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: Dean @ 11.49 haha!
	11:51pm northguineahills: in the swearing Olympics...
	11:51pm doctorjazz: Um Mundo, which was on when I posted (notthat it all hasn't been, errr...friggin' hot! )
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: Believe it or not a Buffalo Springfield cover
	11:53pm Erica: And the swearing convo continues through the night...
	11:53pm doctorjazz: Ok, up too late, thanks, Larry, great fun!
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: i didn't know "feck" was an irish thing. tom wolf used that a lot in electric koolaid acid test and i thought what a copout; but then later he used "fucking" too.
	11:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Franco did you go the war, KC sunshine, el Chicano, Tierra show at the Greek last weekend.
	🥁 11:54pm Granny Spicy Tuna: wow, thanks, Larry!
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Stephan Stills lived in central america as a kid. Thus, Uno Mundo.
	11:55pm northguineahills: Gracias, Larry! Buenas Noches, mi amigos!
	11:55pm Erica: Yeah I have to get to bed too. Great show (aside from the swearing talk). Until next time!
	11:55pm Matt from New Orleans: Great show Larry. Thanks for the tunes.
	11:56pm Erica: Burritos Nachos to you too ngh! (That was a joke).
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Mat, no. But I did take a picture of the poster on a phone pole.
	11:56pm Dean: When I worked a record store on Whittier Blvd. east of East L.A. one of Tower of Power's congeros would show up.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Andale, pinche putos!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys! Have a good night/week!
	11:57pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry! Enjoyed it!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! good night everyone
	11:58pm rw: Muchas gracias, F16C! Nice one. ¡Adios amigos!
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Nite rw!
	11:59pm northguineahills: @Erica: snert @Franco: Que chinga tu abuela, pinche!
	12:16am chresti: Thanks Larry!

	10:02pm Funky16Corners: Franco! Fleep!
	10:04pm Erica: I'm back for another night of Testifying.
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Erica!
	10:06pm Erica: Another day pf tornado warnings. Ugh.
	10:07pm Funky16Corners: Same here.
	10:07pm Erica: of tornado warnings. Stupid typo.
	10:12pm Funky16Corners: We had lots of crazy thunder and lightning but thankfully not much wind and no hail that I saw.
	🥁 10:12pm Granny Spicy Tuna: howdy, testifiers! checked with all my pals in the Lawrence, Kansas area and so far everyone got thru that tornado ok.
	10:13pm Erica: Good for you Granny!
	10:13pm Franco Twinkie: Strangely, Jim Doval and The Gauchos also cut some records that could be classified as surf music. there was this weird animosity between surfers in L,A. in the sixties and some Mexican American kids(not me!) it was very real.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: Hey Granny!
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: The Premiers were from San Gabriel.
	10:14pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - The Chicano bands were playing ALL KINDS of music. Stay tuned!
	10:15pm doctorjazz: I'm not Testifying unless I get a subpoena, and not even then!
	10:16pm chresti: Dance party records.
	10:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	🥁 10:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna: i have had hypnotherapy, and so my testifying is questionable
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: True that, Larry. But there was also this social aspect that went hand in hand with the music.
	10:18pm Funky16Corners: The cool thing is, many of these groups were integrated, some with Chicano, black and white members all together
	10:19pm Matt from New Orleans: I zoned out doing work and missed the first 15 minutes. Glad to be hear listening to Larry for the 4th time live in the last five days.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: Hey Matt!
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: Arthur Lee wrote some songs for The Pomona Casuals.
	🥁 10:22pm Granny Spicy Tuna: ooh, tech excitement: i just carried my new bluetooth speaker across the hall and into another room, and it's still sounding great!
	10:26pm doctorjazz: What speaker did you get, GST?
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - You are correct!
	10:31pm Franco Twinkie: Regarding The Atlantics - i think they were referencing Atlantic Blvd that skirted East L.A. and ran all the way to the beach and cut through many Mexican American communities.
	10:31pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m a big fan of this Vicky Gomez
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: Me too. I was very happy to find a copy of this 45.
	10:32pm Erica: Sounds like Motown
	10:32pm Matt from New Orleans: Is your copy worn down from playing it Larry? It sounds like the grooves are separating.
	10:32pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of her doing this on Shivaree
	10:34pm Erica: Love this song! "Call Me" is so loungy.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: Okay here's a good one - Chris Montez was a surfer!
	10:34pm Funky16Corners: I LOVE THIS RECORD!
	10:34pm Matt from New Orleans: Seeing Chris Montez at the stomp was fantastic
	10:36pm Funky16Corners: That must have been cool
	10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I bet these guys played at The Haunted House.
	10:42pm Erica: Good one Franco! Sounds like pig noises to me.
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: They were actually the Sinners, the house band from Hollywood A Go Go. I have no idea if they were contractually prohibited from recording using that name or what, but they sound like they played live a lot, probably at every club in Hollywood
	10:43pm Funky16Corners: I was referring to Tony, Vic and Manuel
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: Yes.
	10:44pm Parq: Great typo - Lan of 1,000 Dances. That's what you call the external drive where you keep all your dance music.
	10:45pm Funky16Corners: Ha!
	10:45pm Erica: Haha parq. reminds me of the first iPods from the 2000s.
	10:48pm northguineahills: It's been a Larrypalooza!
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: Hey NGH! I'm just about all paloozaed out. I need sleep!
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: LSD!
	10:50pm Funky16Corners: You got it!
	10:51pm Erica: Hang in there Larry.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: so does ? & the mysterians come into focus for this program?
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of Thee Midniters miming this at Angels Stadium on Shebang!
	10:51pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Thanks!
	10:52pm Funky16Corners: @C - No, this is all Southern California. Question Mark and the boys were from Michigan
	10:53pm Funky16Corners: Get ready, the next song will make your hair stand on end (in a good way).
	10:54pm northguineahills: I told Marcel et al when I got home late last night from trivia, but a women came in that was friends w/ one of my trivia partners looked off. It turns out her ex stalked her there to the bar, so me and her friend shielded her, and I just engaged in friendly conversation and tried not to do anything that could be construed as flirty, as the guy looked like he could destroy me. After she two beers, I saw them off in a car, and hope all went well. I was scared, but played it cool.
	10:54pm Parq: Erica, did you know they're introducing new iPods? The top model will be 256 GB and $400.
	10:54pm doctorjazz: My hair hasn't been there TO stand up in many years.
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: oh right Larry. i think my subconscious was melding ? and the mysterians together with the seeds
	10:55pm Franco Twinkie: Forgive me, I think I already said this once. I watched Thee Midnighters practice one time. It was in a garage a few blocks from my house. I just followed the booming sound. I was ten years old.
	10:55pm northguineahills: her friend was 5'1 (she's a smart cookie), and I'm not the most intimidating species out there)
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - That's rough. It's good that you helped out.
	10:56pm Funky16Corners: @FRanco - I'll say it again, I am very jealous!
	10:56pm Erica: Doubt anyone would buy those new iPods now in this age of streaming and vinyl revival.
	🥁 10:57pm Granny Spicy Tuna: doctorjazz: to finally answer 10:26: Bose mini II
	10:57pm northguineahills: I just found a USB mp3 player from god knows when. And then there's the WFMU USB player w/ who knows how much music on it!
	10:57pm rw: I feel like this show was put together with Franco in mind.
	10:57pm Erica: Plus that's too expensive for an mp3 player anyway.
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	10:58pm Funky16Corners: The Giant Crab appeared earlier in their previous guise as Ernie and the Emperors
	10:58pm Matt from New Orleans: Giant Crab is a new one to me
	10:58pm rw: Hey!!
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: i have 2 cd walkmans. what would i need an ipod for?!
	10:59pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Both of the Giant Crab albums are excellent
	11:00pm rw: That Thee Midniters track was fucking out of control.
	11:00pm doctorjazz: Seems an iPod is irrelevant these days, unless they went for a higher end sound (there are boutique audiophile music players out there). Otherwise, why not just use your phone for music (as my kids, and most folks out there, do).
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: RW! Yes. A lot of this was the sonic wall paper of my youth. At least one room of the house.
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: I have to have my 160GB iPod. I have a back up in case it fails
	11:01pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Jump Jive and Harmonize is one of the hardest hitting records ever!
	11:01pm Matt from New Orleans: You all are looking at the new iPod touch from its utility to you personally but there’s lot of other scenarios for it
	11:03pm northguineahills: I have a lot of SoCal 1940s Chicano music, does that count?
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: It does (musically) but not in this context. I'll have to dig out Lalo Guerrero's 'Marihuana' some time
	11:04pm northguineahills: The Pachuco Boogie comp is a good primer.
	11:04pm chresti: 1940s counts
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: well, i have (supposedly anyway) disengaged my phone from the internet. no gobble; no gps... anyway, do i need an endless selection of music wherever i go, when i listen to music constantly at home; and i have music in my head?
	11:04pm doctorjazz: I actually do use portableplayers...i have Neil Young's Pono (which met a sad commercial death), and a Pioneer xdp 300r, both of which are pretty nice sounding (handle high resolution files and all that audiophile geeky stuff.
	11:05pm Funky16Corners: I know i'm going to have to find an iPod replacement at some point, because I too need to carry an endless supply of music in my pocket
	11:06pm Matt from New Orleans: I listen to high res audio on my iPhone. You have to do it in a roundabout way but it works.
	11:06pm Erica: I mostly store music on my laptops (I have a spare in case my main one has problems) and multiple 32GB flash drives.
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: It was so funny when a lot of vatos went "hippie." We lived next door to some real hard ass drug dealers in the sixties. When they moved in they were total Lincoln Heights cholos, but then acid came in. It was our neighborhood sit com.
	🥁 11:08pm Granny Spicy Tuna: i still have and use my very decrepit old ipod for road trips
	11:08pm coelacanth∅: i think if i continued to bombared my mind with music everywhere i go as i do when i'm home (and sometimes at work and often in the car) i'd drown my own creative mind.
	11:08pm northguineahills: I carry music in my head when on the go, or wfmu on my phone....
	🥁 11:09pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Franco Twinkie: i would watch that sitcom
	11:09pm doctorjazz: I didn't think the iPhone handled high rez files...you must use a different music playing software on it. I thought it still had a limit on size of files (24/96), but I'm not sure it's easy to tell those from higher bit rate files.
	🥁 11:10pm Granny Spicy Tuna: and Larry, i can't resist, i do get up and dance every so often, this set is sizzzzlin'!
	11:11pm Matt from New Orleans: You are correct it won’t output more than 24/96 using vlc but on the go it’s doubtful you’d be able to notice the down res from 192 kHz if your files are at that rate
	11:11pm northguineahills: hahaha, Larry!
	11:13pm Erica: Y'deebedee That's all folks!
	11:13pm Erica: Sorry. Couldn't resist.
	11:14pm Matt from New Orleans: Also need to use an external DAC to make it work as well. The DAC will need to plug into the lightning port
	11:16pm northguineahills: Franco, you might like my collection of Mexican 78s from 1920s-1950s. I scoured junk stores in Mty and DF for them.
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: for later (Vicky Gomez) www.youtube.com...
	11:18pm Matt from New Orleans: I bought some in ear headphones from a company called 1more that has built in DAC and plugs into the lightning port. They were fairly reasonable for the sound quality. They discontinued the model I purchased. I wasn’t trying to make it more complicated with a DAC dongle and the headphones plugged into that.
	11:18pm doctorjazz: I've hooked my players to external dac/amps (have a set up with an iPad 3), but it's easier to just use the Pono or Pioneer in most instances.
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: NGH! Totally! I just dug out a box of 78's this morning for later study.
	11:20pm Matt from New Orleans: That requires me to carry an additional device with me. No need to step back in time carrying an iPod and a flip phone everywhere now my pockets.
	11:20pm Matt from New Orleans: Everywhere in my pockets
	11:21pm Carmichael: Whoa, just got here. Man did I miss some killer music.
	11:22pm Funky16Corners: Hey Carmichael!
	11:23pm Carmichael: Thee Midnighters, the Premiers. SoCal cruisin’ tunes.
	11:24pm doctorjazz: Audeze has an open, in ear electrostatic headphone in an iPhone and non iPhone version. The iPhone version has a built in dac, pretty nice sounding, but really silly looking.
	11:25pm northguineahills: In my experience, the junkier and more clutter to the store, and the older the proprietor, no matter which country, the better find. (see my Cage and Xenakis finds in Bed-Stuy in a 6' pile of vinyl....
	11:29pm rw: We're moving into the Latin sound...
	11:29pm Matt from New Orleans: The 1mores are far more rudimentary than the audeze’s seem to be at least with the cypher cable
	11:29pm Parq: I gotta have my iPod 180G when I'm driving. Can't depend on the vageries of connectivity that streaming takes.
	11:30pm Parq: Like what Granny said.
	11:31pm Franco Twinkie: More Grass! Haha!
	11:32pm Matt from New Orleans: I finally found a pic of them doc. Those are ducking ridiculous. No way would I walk around with the wing of tie fighter covering my ear
	11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I guess it’s good autocorrect messed up my profanity. Probably shouldn’t be cursing on here.
	11:33pm Funky16Corners: Curse all you like. These are dark times.
	11:33pm Carmichael: I have my iPod with 6k+ songs in my car, set on random. Many many songs from FMU.
	11:34pm Funky16Corners: It's a miracle I don't curse on the air, with my mouth.
	11:35pm Matt from New Orleans: Well you’re on the stream so I’m not sure the fcc regs apply
	11:35pm Erica: Words are words.
	11:36pm Funky16Corners: Yeah but if I start, apres moi le deluge. I have a spectacularly foul mouth, especially when I'm driving. Best I keep it in the car.
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: i drive at least two minimum 1.5 hour trips/week. i have a radio i can get wfmu for the first 10-15 minutes from either end of the journey and a classical station that's good about 65% of the time for another 10 minutes. the rest of the time i sing.
	11:36pm Matt from New Orleans: It is part of a station with an fcc license so that might affect the situation. Whereas a completely digital station streaming over the internet has no fcc concerns whatsoever.
	11:38pm Erica: Wasn't what I meant but okay.
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: it's completely permissible here, but i understand why not to run with it
	11:39pm northguineahills: I listen to WFMU in my car on some days, and I'm 1500 miles away from the nearest antenna...
	11:39pm chresti: I curse when I drive
	11:39pm Carmichael: I love a creative cusser. I’m a foul mouthed bastard, but I try to mix it up.
	11:40pm Matt from New Orleans: It wasn’t in response to you specifically Erica but I don’t disagree with your sentiment. But to many women in the US, the c word is a big no no. In the UK, the c word stigma doesn’t seem to exist.
	11:40pm coelacanth∅: ngh what do you mean? via frequency modulation? is that possible?!
	11:41pm Franco Twinkie: I swear so much people think I'm mentally defective.
	11:41pm doctorjazz: Seems the stream DJs have no problem cursing on air, so the chart board should be ok.
	11:41pm Erica: Yeah, I only swear occasionally anymore.
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: I'm always yelling stuff like 'MOVE IT GRANDPA!" and then I pull up next to them and I'm like, 'Oh shit, that guy looks like he's my age'. Touche...
	11:42pm Erica: Only when very angry, doing impressions or quoting something, if I have to.
	11:42pm chresti: I modified my cussing after having a baby, when he grew up, I learned the term "cluster fuck" from him.
	11:43pm Carmichael: It means something very different in the UK, like a dizzy idiot. The f word is tolerable in social circles, as is “bloody”. But don’t say “bleedin’ “, as that is intolerable.
	11:43pm doctorjazz: Sounds like a great party the Village Callers are at!
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: i'd sure rather hear/see someone say/type Fuck than some ridiculousness like "effin'" or whatever...when it means fucking so everyone who sees it thinks fucking so what the hell's the point of not saying it? stupid. sorry.
	11:44pm Erica: Yeah I used to swear a lot as a kid (I was bad lol) but out of joking around. But as I got older, it came back to me and I became more afraid to curse.
	11:44pm Matt from New Orleans: NGH I find it incredibly hard to believe that you’re getting a WFMU signal on the panhandle. There’s clearly no line of site as the earth curves between the closest transmitter and Florida.
	11:45pm northguineahills: what if I'm Irish and I say feck, coel, you feckin' feck! :p (just joshing, and not Irish).
	11:45pm Erica: "Effin" is for people who are too scared say or don't feel like saying the actual F word (at least that's how I see it).
	11:45pm Carmichael: I’m Irish, so cursing is our native language. Ye feck, yah.
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: @11.40 Matt -though it seems most women who cring at "the c word" have no trouble calling a guy a dick
	11:46pm Dean: Just tuning in, and I see there's a thread pertaining to foul language, a topic near and dear to my heart. Very encouraging. I tell my kids my favorite local bus line is the F San Francisco, because, well, "F San Francisco!" They know well what F means. As for euphemisms, I prefer "friggin'" to "effin'." And did you know that "euphemism" is a euphemism for "bullshit"?
	11:46pm doctorjazz: It does seem amazing to get FMU out there, I can barely get it on Staten Island (unless you stream via phone or something along those lines).
	11:46pm northguineahills: @Matt: My car stereo gets WFMU from my phone. I'm technically barely in peninsular FL (thank ye goddesses, I could deal w/ the panhandle).
	11:47pm Funky16Corners: I'm with George Carlin in that 'shit' is just another word for 'stuff'.
	11:48pm Erica: One sentence about one thing leads to a conversation about it Dean. Can't mention what you've had for dinner and we end up talking about food restaurants lol.
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: The best swearing is in Spanish. Check out WPLJ by the Mother of Invention. Roy Estrada and Jimmy Carl Black are beyond hilarious.
	11:49pm Dean: My homies, El Chicano, nice. Dinner, Erica? I had some shit or another.
	11:49pm doctorjazz: This El Chicano track is Hot!
	11:50pm Funky16Corners: Which one, Doc?
	11:50pm northguineahills: When I was in Brooklyn, I couldn't get a WFMU radio signal until I was south and west of Prospect Park. @Franco: Don't get me started, my wife has called me every name in the book, even ones my other Latino friends have never heard...
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: yeah if i'm around children (not all children) or in certain other situations i might say "ficken", because, at least it's a real word.
	11:51pm northguineahills: Although the Scots and Serbs really up there in swearing Olympics....
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: Dean @ 11.49 haha!
	11:51pm northguineahills: in the swearing Olympics...
	11:51pm doctorjazz: Um Mundo, which was on when I posted (notthat it all hasn't been, errr...friggin' hot! )
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: Believe it or not a Buffalo Springfield cover
	11:53pm Erica: And the swearing convo continues through the night...
	11:53pm doctorjazz: Ok, up too late, thanks, Larry, great fun!
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: i didn't know "feck" was an irish thing. tom wolf used that a lot in electric koolaid acid test and i thought what a copout; but then later he used "fucking" too.
	11:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Franco did you go the war, KC sunshine, el Chicano, Tierra show at the Greek last weekend.
	🥁 11:54pm Granny Spicy Tuna: wow, thanks, Larry!
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Stephan Stills lived in central america as a kid. Thus, Uno Mundo.
	11:55pm northguineahills: Gracias, Larry! Buenas Noches, mi amigos!
	11:55pm Erica: Yeah I have to get to bed too. Great show (aside from the swearing talk). Until next time!
	11:55pm Matt from New Orleans: Great show Larry. Thanks for the tunes.
	11:56pm Erica: Burritos Nachos to you too ngh! (That was a joke).
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Mat, no. But I did take a picture of the poster on a phone pole.
	11:56pm Dean: When I worked a record store on Whittier Blvd. east of East L.A. one of Tower of Power's congeros would show up.
	11:57pm Franco Twinkie: Andale, pinche putos!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks guys! Have a good night/week!
	11:57pm Jeff Ash: Thanks, Larry! Enjoyed it!
	11:57pm Funky16Corners: Thanks Jeff!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry! good night everyone
	11:58pm rw: Muchas gracias, F16C! Nice one. ¡Adios amigos!
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Nite C!
	11:58pm Funky16Corners: Nite rw!
	11:59pm northguineahills: @Erica: snert @Franco: Que chinga tu abuela, pinche!
	12:16am chresti: Thanks Larry!
