Listener comments!
	♥ 8:59am doctorjazz: Good morning Larry! Good morning Testifiers!
	♥ 9:00am doctorjazz: Always up for Brunch.
	♥ 9:00am Funky16Corners: Morning Doc!
	♥ 9:01am fred: Good morning Larry and all
	♥ 9:01am Funky16Corners: Hi Fred!
	9:02am Doug Schulkind: I’ll catch you after yoga, Larry. Good morning!
	♥ 9:02am Funky16Corners: Downward Facing Doug!
	9:03am hyde: hello!
	♥ 9:04am doctorjazz: Sassy does a fine take on Bobby Dylan. (Must be a sign of aging...used to hate these rock covers by jazz artists like Sassy and Ella.)
	♥ 9:04am Funky16Corners: Hyde!
	♥ 9:05am fred: I'm eager to hear this show, it's usually not in my listening hours
	♥ 9:05am Funky16Corners: @Doc - I think they both do them well. I'm always looking for stuff like that. Lots of chaff but some fine wheat as well.
	♥ 9:06am Funky16Corners: @Fred - I'm always willing to temporally relocate to accomodate!
	♥ 9:08am holland oats: uhh should i be googling bob? afraid to read comments
	♥ 9:09am Funky16Corners: Bob's still here. Just enjoying his music.
	♥ 9:10am Funky16Corners: And good morning Holland Oats!
	♥ 9:11am holland oats: phew! wassup lg!
	♥ 9:12am Funky16Corners: All is well!
	9:18am northguineahills: Still in packing/moving hell...
	♥ 9:18am doctorjazz: That's about as far as I followed Dylan as well, know the earlier stuff very well, lost interest later.
	♥ 9:19am Funky16Corners: NGH!
	♥ 9:20am Funky16Corners: I lose Dylan when he went Christian, not because of the religion, but I just didn't find a lot to like in the music. He's Dylan and he's entitled to morph as many times as he wants, but I can't be bothered to follow him. My youngest sister is a hardcore Dylan devotee and digs everything.
	♥ 9:24am doctorjazz: Love this song, think Beck gets the feel without copying the original.
	♥ 9:25am fred: A friend of mine is such a fan she even loves the christmas album. I do like a few songs, but generally despise Dylan's music
	♥ 9:26am Funky16Corners: Is it bad that I had no idea there was a Dylan Christmas album? I find the idea kind of frightening.
	♥ 9:27am doctorjazz: The dreaded Buffy St Marie vibrato! It's contagious!
	♥ 9:28am Funky16Corners: It's a Canadian thing!
	♥ 9:29am doctorjazz: (He does have a great set of pipes, though)
	♥ 9:29am Funky16Corners: I love Tom Northcott. I wish he had recorded more.
	♥ 9:32am doctorjazz: I never thought of that. Joni Mitchell, early on, had some of that vibrato as well (but I always let it pass in her case)
	♥ 9:34am Funky16Corners: I think Joni is overall a more sophisticated singer.
	♥ 9:35am doctorjazz: As she went on, but she was firmly in the folk camp early on.
	♥ 9:35am Funky16Corners: Agreed,
	9:36am northguineahills: My dolly didn't come through, but at least I have a friend to help schlep my vinyl....
	♥ 9:37am Funky16Corners: One of the curses of owning a lot of records is the occasional necessity of having to move them.
	♥ 9:37am Funky16Corners: AKA I feel your pain
	9:37am northguineahills: @Larry: Ken used to torture us w/ the Dylan xmas album regularly, until like 1984, we just accepted it...
	♥ 9:38am fred: There's a composer at work who want to digitally impose a predefined and manipulated vibrato on a live singer's voice. I'm marginally involved (just get it faster) so I don't know how it sounds
	9:38am northguineahills: Dylan has some decent stuff since the 80s, but it's rare and far b/tn IMHO.
	♥ 9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting point t about the Rhythm. So much is made of Dylan's words that his Music might be interesting to go granular on instead...certainly his collaborators... & yes I'm a fan. Although there can never again be anything like the way Dylan & the mid60s crossed Rach other like lightning. Cohen always seems distinctly Not American (he's Canadian) - & not RawkaRolla. Bob idolized Little Richard before Guthrie...Leonard was already a fairly successful Writer before Singing...Sometimes I hear French Chanson & think Cohen's in that world...Lennon was also known for scanning a little weird Rhythmically...when you have words to fit...
	♥ 9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Holy Smokes Genya...
	♥ 9:41am Funky16Corners: Hey Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - I agree about Cohen falling in with the chanson-influenced crowd. I'm always amazed that a guy who was established as a poet developed into such an amazing songwriter, not just lyrically but melodically as well. Songs of Leonard Cohen is one of my favorite 1960s albums.
	♥ 9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dylan the prolific Gemini - Cohen the consistent Virgo - both Children of Mercury the Communicator... & yet comparing them maybe too facile...
	♥ 9:47am Funky16Corners: Very different, lumped together by time, circumstance and hippies.
	♥ 9:49am doctorjazz: I heard Warnes’ Famous Blue Raincoat many many times, this is new to me.
	♥ 9:51am Funky16Corners: Her early albums (when she was just bulled as Jennifer) are really good. Obscure and hard to find but excellent.
	♥ 9:54am Stanley: Ooooh, this is nice. Hi Mr Funky and the assembled.
	♥ 9:54am Funky16Corners: Hi Stanley!
	♥ 9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah so this is a treat.
	9:59am northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit @9:39: I have no idea what that means...
	♥ 10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dion's lost & found 65 album 'Kickin' Child' was promoted as rewriting FolkRawk history: he was already there but the label did not get it & sat on it! I really want to acquire that! ....Someone copied the Record Club Skip Spence for me!
	♥ 10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ngh: I seem to illicit that response often enuff!...
	♥ 10:07am doctorjazz: Greg Allman did a great These Days. Liked that Rascals, did sound like a garage band.
	♥ 10:08am Funky16Corners: Gregg Allman was pals with Jackson Browne in the very early days when the Hour Glass was hanging out in southern California. Before Jackson started making his own records.
	♥ 10:09am fred: @RevRab: that's part of why you're a treasured part of this community. Nice to see around more often. Are you still library-bound or did you find a job?
	♥ 10:11am Sem: Hello, Larry, those who testify without a witness protection program, and all.
	♥ 10:11am Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	♥ 10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got a job - & I got a tracfone & stolen WiFi in my trap as well as the laptops in Library hours. ....I do have a hypothesis now that Society is insane because of typing on microscopic screens w/ autofill...
	♥ 10:13am Funky16Corners: Fighting with autocorrect has to have an effect on how your bran works.
	♥ 10:14am Funky16Corners: See, I meant to type BRAIN...
	♥ 10:14am fred: Especially with WFMU playlists, these are not autocorrect-friendly
	♥ 10:15am Funky16Corners: This one gets far out. Genuinely psychedelic, which is really odd for a soul jazz session from 1971
	♥ 10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some algorithm on fb reckoned I was from Alabama w/ a grade school education cause of my grammatical / syntactical idiosyncrasies ...perhaps it is not alone.
	♥ 10:21am fred: @RevRab: Not sure what that means, but I hope it gets you some money. You don't have much but amazingly find a way to send some to the station. You are a freeform hero
	10:22am northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit: I know nothing about astrology besides I'm an Aries b/c girls I dated in my youth would ask (I know the constellations). I don't even know attributes an Aries is supposed to have. Even Kurt put me in his Aries FB page. I don't even know what my wife is...
	♥ 10:22am Funky16Corners: I think those algorithms are lazy/poorly constructed. For all the time I spend on social media, all they seem to know is that I'm in my 50s.
	10:23am northguineahills: I once put "autocarrot" in a phone text, and it stuck, so, I still go w/ it and purposely type autocarrot.
	♥ 10:24am coelacanth∅: 'morning Larry and all
	♥ 10:25am Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:25am northguineahills: Google seems to think I'm in my 60s, and besides that, has no idea what to make of my profile based on my searches. I must be doing something right.
	♥ 10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ngh: That's just you Sun Sign anyway. You got the Moon & every damn planet in Signs - in specific configurations to each other. You are the only you.
	♥ 10:25am fred: @ngh: you may want to erase "I don't even know what my wife is" from that database, though
	♥ 10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Look for example @ Cohen's birth chart : www.astro.com...
	♥ 10:28am coelacanth∅: gobble doesn't know much about me except that the first choice for any search i do is music-related.
	♥ 10:30am coelacanth∅: (but i generally don't use it except more often than not for an image search, since duckduckgo's image search is sadly inferior)
	♥ 10:31am coelacanth∅: by the way are there any homefries?
	♥ 10:32am Funky16Corners: Always, with and without onions (but mostly with)
	10:33am hyde: mmmmm, onions
	♥ 10:35am Funky16Corners: Now I want hash browns...
	♥ 10:36am fred: I'm so boring I don't mind google profiling me. It's useful at times, helping me find shows for bands with google-unfriendly names. Seriously, if I ever type 10 and get a show for the Japanese/Korean band, I'd be so happy. And might retire from the internet while I'm on top
	♥ 10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's the thing. We want it both ways. Problem is the webz are a public utility & the tightest monopolies ever at the same time.
	10:40am northguineahills: @Fred: I know she was born 9/11. When I showed my wife my google profile (I was 39 at the time), she laughed, and thought it accurate [age-wise])
	10:41am northguineahills: ...born on 9/11 (just 19 years before the WTC thingy)
	🥁 ♥ 10:44am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Greetings, Testifiers!
	♥ 10:44am doctorjazz: Pretty Nat. Very much in a Miles vein (but many others were)
	♥ 10:44am Funky16Corners: Granny!
	♥ 10:45am Funky16Corners: @Doc - Joe Zawinul is on this one, so a direct connection of early electric Miles
	♥ 10:46am doctorjazz: I figured the band had to do with it.
	♥ 10:47am Funky16Corners: It also features Idris Muhammad when he was still Leo Morris
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): coelacanth∅: i do have some homefries in the works over here…
	♥ 10:49am fred: @ngh: From all you said about her, I think you deserve each other. And I mean that in a good way
	♥ 11:00am Funky16Corners: BTW both of these Quincy tracks feature Valerie Simpson (as in 'Ashford &') on vocals
	11:01am northguineahills: @fred: She has that fiery Latina temper, and as mentioned before, our personalities are the exact opposite, but near identical interests.
	11:01am northguineahills: Never heard Gula Matari! Very throwback exotica!
	♥ 11:04am Funky16Corners: This period of Quincy's stuff is very cool.
	11:08am Doug Schulkind: Uoward Sounding Larry!
	♥ 11:08am Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! How was yoga?
	♥ 11:09am Funky16Corners: BTW That's Major Holley with the wild bass/vocalization
	♥ 11:09am Sem: Lovin' this set ++++++, Larry.
	♥ 11:10am coelacanth∅: that harmonica in there reminded me of war
	♥ 11:10am Funky16Corners: Thanks Sem!
	♥ 11:10am coelacanth∅: (the band)
	♥ 11:10am Funky16Corners: That was Toots Thielemans on harmonica!
	♥ 11:11am coelacanth∅: yes my compliments to the chef
	♥ 11:12am coelacanth∅: (the cilantro in the eggs is a little weird, but...)
	♥ 11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Drummer Stream Goodness.
	♥ 11:13am Funky16Corners: I am of the 'I love cilantro' portion of society. I think I want to start a serious herb garden next year. We have a big potted basil plant that we've been using in recipes all summer.
	♥ 11:14am Funky16Corners: Songs that have sampled this track: “Big Sur Suite” Beastie Boys’s “Pass the Mic” Black Sheep’s “The Choice is Yours” Casual’s “Me-O-Mi-O” DJ Krush’s “Edge of Blue” Dr. Dre’s “A Nigga Wit a Gun” Dr. Dre’s “High Powered” Gang Starr’s “24-7-365” Insane Clown Posse’s “Never Had it Made” MC Eiht’s “We Come Strapped” Mix Master Mike’s “Gang Tackle” Natas’s “Get My Head Together”
	♥ 11:14am Funky16Corners: Though I swear I have never heard the Insane Clown Posse tune...
	♥ 11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My algo had you as a jugaloo...l
	♥ 11:17am doctorjazz: Knew a teen who loved the Clown Posse...tried to listen to them, didn't like it.
	♥ 11:18am Funky16Corners: It's funny, there's a veterinarian's office right next to the local Dunkin Donuts and there is always a big black pick up truck parked there that is COVERED with Juggalo stickers. I'm assuming that it's an employee as opposed to the vet, but who knows,
	♥ 11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not being treated?
	11:21am northguineahills: I have never heard an ICP tune...
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth∅: i got a late start on my potted garden. the basil's about 3" tall, the cilantro and dill even shorter. i bought the sage and rosemary, since i've never had great luck growing those from seeds. the parsley is coming along, though it's sorta silly for me to grow parsley as i might easily eat an entire plant in one sitting. same with lettuce, but i'm growing it anyway.
	♥ 11:21am Funky16Corners: @Rev - Considering the frequency, that would be a very sick Juggalo
	♥ 11:23am Funky16Corners: I find the whole Juggalo subculture to be largely harmless and entertaining (from a distance). Theire music is run of the mill hip hop (with weird, Juggalo-specific themes). They even have a couple of ICP movies. Naturally the FBI wants to classify them as a gang (while letting neo-Nazis run free).
	11:26am northguineahills: I didn't plant anything this year (for obvious reasons), but my Carolina Reapers, Poblanos, and eggplants are going strong, but my ghost peppers started dying this week. Oh, well, I'll be out by the end of the month.
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: one thing about the juggalo make-up is that it's usually a lot less creepy than clowns that aren't TRYING to look creepy
	♥ 11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have learned on my new job in a grocery that basil turns black if it's in the cool section.
	♥ 11:29am Funky16Corners: Perhaps someday they will be celebrated for their unique, postmodern take on clowning.
	♥ 11:30am Funky16Corners: @Rev - The smell of fresh-picked basil is really something else. My son will go out and bring in a handful to go in sauce and I have to get a nose-ful before I put it in the pot.
	♥ 11:30am coelacanth∅: if you ever harvest basil for a day your fingers will be nearly black for a few days to follow
	♥ 11:32am Funky16Corners: What causes that?
	11:33am northguineahills: @coel: but smell lovely!
	♥ 11:33am fred: Kinda sad that all I know about them is that X.Ray liked them, but I never checked them out. I'm such a fake
	♥ 11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Remember before the election everyone was seeing threatening clowns in the shadows? There's your power of mass projection...
	♥ 11:34am Funky16Corners: And look what we got...
	♥ 11:34am coelacanth∅: i wonder if X-Ray knew that the clown posse was essentially anti-trump
	♥ 11:35am coelacanth∅: ...or maybe they weren't. maybe they weren't smart enough, like so many americans, to see the shitstorm coming until it was here.
	♥ 11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Unconscious.
	♥ 11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What exactly is a dream? & what exactly is a joke? - Syd Barrett
	♥ 11:40am coelacanth∅: didn't Syd do that song "juggalo aunt"?
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: There's no place like om, Larry.
	11:42am chresti at work: Hello from Griffith park!
	♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <° D <°
	♥ 11:43am Funky16Corners: Hey Chresti!
	♥ 11:45am fred: @Doug: Is there such a thing as pun yoga?
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Punjabi tradition...
	11:48am northguineahills: @Doug: well, om is an onomatopoeia, and you can't spell it w/o om.
	♥ 11:51am doctorjazz: Traffic near the band's end, got into jams, cool album.
	11:52am hyde: cool show. thanks!
	♥ 11:52am Funky16Corners: Thanks Hyde!
	11:53am northguineahills: Danke schoen, Larry!
	♥ 11:54am doctorjazz: Almost over (caught me by surprise), fun show, Larry, thanks!
	♥ 11:55am Funky16Corners: Thanks NGH!
	♥ 11:55am Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening Doc!
	♥ 11:58am Sem: Many thanks, Larry. See you again!
	♥ 11:58am Funky16Corners: Thanks Sem!
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: boy i'm full. Thanks Larry! take care everyone
	♥ 12:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C! I can't believe I didn't turn off my ringer...

	9:38am northguineahills: Dylan has some decent stuff since the 80s, but it's rare and far b/tn IMHO.
	♥ 9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Interesting point t about the Rhythm. So much is made of Dylan's words that his Music might be interesting to go granular on instead...certainly his collaborators... & yes I'm a fan. Although there can never again be anything like the way Dylan & the mid60s crossed Rach other like lightning. Cohen always seems distinctly Not American (he's Canadian) - & not RawkaRolla. Bob idolized Little Richard before Guthrie...Leonard was already a fairly successful Writer before Singing...Sometimes I hear French Chanson & think Cohen's in that world...Lennon was also known for scanning a little weird Rhythmically...when you have words to fit...
	♥ 9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Holy Smokes Genya...
	♥ 9:41am Funky16Corners: Hey Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - I agree about Cohen falling in with the chanson-influenced crowd. I'm always amazed that a guy who was established as a poet developed into such an amazing songwriter, not just lyrically but melodically as well. Songs of Leonard Cohen is one of my favorite 1960s albums.
	♥ 9:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dylan the prolific Gemini - Cohen the consistent Virgo - both Children of Mercury the Communicator... & yet comparing them maybe too facile...
	♥ 9:47am Funky16Corners: Very different, lumped together by time, circumstance and hippies.
	♥ 9:49am doctorjazz: I heard Warnes’ Famous Blue Raincoat many many times, this is new to me.
	♥ 9:51am Funky16Corners: Her early albums (when she was just bulled as Jennifer) are really good. Obscure and hard to find but excellent.
	♥ 9:54am Stanley: Ooooh, this is nice. Hi Mr Funky and the assembled.
	♥ 9:54am Funky16Corners: Hi Stanley!
	♥ 9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah so this is a treat.
	9:59am northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit @9:39: I have no idea what that means...
	♥ 10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dion's lost & found 65 album 'Kickin' Child' was promoted as rewriting FolkRawk history: he was already there but the label did not get it & sat on it! I really want to acquire that! ....Someone copied the Record Club Skip Spence for me!
	♥ 10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ngh: I seem to illicit that response often enuff!...
	♥ 10:07am doctorjazz: Greg Allman did a great These Days. Liked that Rascals, did sound like a garage band.
	♥ 10:08am Funky16Corners: Gregg Allman was pals with Jackson Browne in the very early days when the Hour Glass was hanging out in southern California. Before Jackson started making his own records.
	♥ 10:09am fred: @RevRab: that's part of why you're a treasured part of this community. Nice to see around more often. Are you still library-bound or did you find a job?
	♥ 10:11am Sem: Hello, Larry, those who testify without a witness protection program, and all.
	♥ 10:11am Funky16Corners: Hey Sem!
	♥ 10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I got a job - & I got a tracfone & stolen WiFi in my trap as well as the laptops in Library hours. ....I do have a hypothesis now that Society is insane because of typing on microscopic screens w/ autofill...
	♥ 10:13am Funky16Corners: Fighting with autocorrect has to have an effect on how your bran works.
	♥ 10:14am Funky16Corners: See, I meant to type BRAIN...
	♥ 10:14am fred: Especially with WFMU playlists, these are not autocorrect-friendly
	♥ 10:15am Funky16Corners: This one gets far out. Genuinely psychedelic, which is really odd for a soul jazz session from 1971
	♥ 10:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Some algorithm on fb reckoned I was from Alabama w/ a grade school education cause of my grammatical / syntactical idiosyncrasies ...perhaps it is not alone.
	♥ 10:21am fred: @RevRab: Not sure what that means, but I hope it gets you some money. You don't have much but amazingly find a way to send some to the station. You are a freeform hero
	10:22am northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit: I know nothing about astrology besides I'm an Aries b/c girls I dated in my youth would ask (I know the constellations). I don't even know attributes an Aries is supposed to have. Even Kurt put me in his Aries FB page. I don't even know what my wife is...
	♥ 10:22am Funky16Corners: I think those algorithms are lazy/poorly constructed. For all the time I spend on social media, all they seem to know is that I'm in my 50s.
	10:23am northguineahills: I once put "autocarrot" in a phone text, and it stuck, so, I still go w/ it and purposely type autocarrot.
	♥ 10:24am coelacanth∅: 'morning Larry and all
	♥ 10:25am Funky16Corners: Hey C!
	10:25am northguineahills: Google seems to think I'm in my 60s, and besides that, has no idea what to make of my profile based on my searches. I must be doing something right.
	♥ 10:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ngh: That's just you Sun Sign anyway. You got the Moon & every damn planet in Signs - in specific configurations to each other. You are the only you.
	♥ 10:25am fred: @ngh: you may want to erase "I don't even know what my wife is" from that database, though
	♥ 10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Look for example @ Cohen's birth chart : www.astro.com...
	♥ 10:28am coelacanth∅: gobble doesn't know much about me except that the first choice for any search i do is music-related.
	♥ 10:30am coelacanth∅: (but i generally don't use it except more often than not for an image search, since duckduckgo's image search is sadly inferior)
	♥ 10:31am coelacanth∅: by the way are there any homefries?
	♥ 10:32am Funky16Corners: Always, with and without onions (but mostly with)
	10:33am hyde: mmmmm, onions
	♥ 10:35am Funky16Corners: Now I want hash browns...
	♥ 10:36am fred: I'm so boring I don't mind google profiling me. It's useful at times, helping me find shows for bands with google-unfriendly names. Seriously, if I ever type 10 and get a show for the Japanese/Korean band, I'd be so happy. And might retire from the internet while I'm on top
	♥ 10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's the thing. We want it both ways. Problem is the webz are a public utility & the tightest monopolies ever at the same time.
	10:40am northguineahills: @Fred: I know she was born 9/11. When I showed my wife my google profile (I was 39 at the time), she laughed, and thought it accurate [age-wise])
	10:41am northguineahills: ...born on 9/11 (just 19 years before the WTC thingy)
	🥁 ♥ 10:44am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Greetings, Testifiers!
	♥ 10:44am doctorjazz: Pretty Nat. Very much in a Miles vein (but many others were)
	♥ 10:44am Funky16Corners: Granny!
	♥ 10:45am Funky16Corners: @Doc - Joe Zawinul is on this one, so a direct connection of early electric Miles
	♥ 10:46am doctorjazz: I figured the band had to do with it.
	♥ 10:47am Funky16Corners: It also features Idris Muhammad when he was still Leo Morris
	🥁 ♥ 10:48am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): coelacanth∅: i do have some homefries in the works over here…
	♥ 10:49am fred: @ngh: From all you said about her, I think you deserve each other. And I mean that in a good way
	♥ 11:00am Funky16Corners: BTW both of these Quincy tracks feature Valerie Simpson (as in 'Ashford &') on vocals
	11:01am northguineahills: @fred: She has that fiery Latina temper, and as mentioned before, our personalities are the exact opposite, but near identical interests.
	11:01am northguineahills: Never heard Gula Matari! Very throwback exotica!
	♥ 11:04am Funky16Corners: This period of Quincy's stuff is very cool.
	11:08am Doug Schulkind: Uoward Sounding Larry!
	♥ 11:08am Funky16Corners: Hey Doug! How was yoga?
	♥ 11:09am Funky16Corners: BTW That's Major Holley with the wild bass/vocalization
	♥ 11:09am Sem: Lovin' this set ++++++, Larry.
	♥ 11:10am coelacanth∅: that harmonica in there reminded me of war
	♥ 11:10am Funky16Corners: Thanks Sem!
	♥ 11:10am coelacanth∅: (the band)
	♥ 11:10am Funky16Corners: That was Toots Thielemans on harmonica!
	♥ 11:11am coelacanth∅: yes my compliments to the chef
	♥ 11:12am coelacanth∅: (the cilantro in the eggs is a little weird, but...)
	♥ 11:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Drummer Stream Goodness.
	♥ 11:13am Funky16Corners: I am of the 'I love cilantro' portion of society. I think I want to start a serious herb garden next year. We have a big potted basil plant that we've been using in recipes all summer.
	♥ 11:14am Funky16Corners: Songs that have sampled this track: “Big Sur Suite” Beastie Boys’s “Pass the Mic” Black Sheep’s “The Choice is Yours” Casual’s “Me-O-Mi-O” DJ Krush’s “Edge of Blue” Dr. Dre’s “A Nigga Wit a Gun” Dr. Dre’s “High Powered” Gang Starr’s “24-7-365” Insane Clown Posse’s “Never Had it Made” MC Eiht’s “We Come Strapped” Mix Master Mike’s “Gang Tackle” Natas’s “Get My Head Together”
	♥ 11:14am Funky16Corners: Though I swear I have never heard the Insane Clown Posse tune...
	♥ 11:16am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My algo had you as a jugaloo...l
	♥ 11:17am doctorjazz: Knew a teen who loved the Clown Posse...tried to listen to them, didn't like it.
	♥ 11:18am Funky16Corners: It's funny, there's a veterinarian's office right next to the local Dunkin Donuts and there is always a big black pick up truck parked there that is COVERED with Juggalo stickers. I'm assuming that it's an employee as opposed to the vet, but who knows,
	♥ 11:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not being treated?
	11:21am northguineahills: I have never heard an ICP tune...
	♥ 11:21am coelacanth∅: i got a late start on my potted garden. the basil's about 3" tall, the cilantro and dill even shorter. i bought the sage and rosemary, since i've never had great luck growing those from seeds. the parsley is coming along, though it's sorta silly for me to grow parsley as i might easily eat an entire plant in one sitting. same with lettuce, but i'm growing it anyway.
	♥ 11:21am Funky16Corners: @Rev - Considering the frequency, that would be a very sick Juggalo
	♥ 11:23am Funky16Corners: I find the whole Juggalo subculture to be largely harmless and entertaining (from a distance). Theire music is run of the mill hip hop (with weird, Juggalo-specific themes). They even have a couple of ICP movies. Naturally the FBI wants to classify them as a gang (while letting neo-Nazis run free).
	11:26am northguineahills: I didn't plant anything this year (for obvious reasons), but my Carolina Reapers, Poblanos, and eggplants are going strong, but my ghost peppers started dying this week. Oh, well, I'll be out by the end of the month.
	♥ 11:28am coelacanth∅: one thing about the juggalo make-up is that it's usually a lot less creepy than clowns that aren't TRYING to look creepy
	♥ 11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I have learned on my new job in a grocery that basil turns black if it's in the cool section.
	♥ 11:29am Funky16Corners: Perhaps someday they will be celebrated for their unique, postmodern take on clowning.
	♥ 11:30am Funky16Corners: @Rev - The smell of fresh-picked basil is really something else. My son will go out and bring in a handful to go in sauce and I have to get a nose-ful before I put it in the pot.
	♥ 11:30am coelacanth∅: if you ever harvest basil for a day your fingers will be nearly black for a few days to follow
	♥ 11:32am Funky16Corners: What causes that?
	11:33am northguineahills: @coel: but smell lovely!
	♥ 11:33am fred: Kinda sad that all I know about them is that X.Ray liked them, but I never checked them out. I'm such a fake
	♥ 11:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Remember before the election everyone was seeing threatening clowns in the shadows? There's your power of mass projection...
	♥ 11:34am Funky16Corners: And look what we got...
	♥ 11:34am coelacanth∅: i wonder if X-Ray knew that the clown posse was essentially anti-trump
	♥ 11:35am coelacanth∅: ...or maybe they weren't. maybe they weren't smart enough, like so many americans, to see the shitstorm coming until it was here.
	♥ 11:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Unconscious.
	♥ 11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What exactly is a dream? & what exactly is a joke? - Syd Barrett
	♥ 11:40am coelacanth∅: didn't Syd do that song "juggalo aunt"?
	♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind: There's no place like om, Larry.
	11:42am chresti at work: Hello from Griffith park!
	♥ 11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <° D <°
	♥ 11:43am Funky16Corners: Hey Chresti!
	♥ 11:45am fred: @Doug: Is there such a thing as pun yoga?
	♥ 11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Punjabi tradition...
	11:48am northguineahills: @Doug: well, om is an onomatopoeia, and you can't spell it w/o om.
	♥ 11:51am doctorjazz: Traffic near the band's end, got into jams, cool album.
	11:52am hyde: cool show. thanks!
	♥ 11:52am Funky16Corners: Thanks Hyde!
	11:53am northguineahills: Danke schoen, Larry!
	♥ 11:54am doctorjazz: Almost over (caught me by surprise), fun show, Larry, thanks!
	♥ 11:55am Funky16Corners: Thanks NGH!
	♥ 11:55am Funky16Corners: Thanks for listening Doc!
	♥ 11:58am Sem: Many thanks, Larry. See you again!
	♥ 11:58am Funky16Corners: Thanks Sem!
	♥ 11:59am coelacanth∅: boy i'm full. Thanks Larry! take care everyone
	♥ 12:00pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C! I can't believe I didn't turn off my ringer...
