Listener comments!
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon, Kurt and all! Small-m marathon-length shift!
	12:01pm chresti: Morning to the afternoon, Kurt!
	12:02pm P-90: Yo KG!
	12:03pm Doug Schulkind: Round and round and round goes Maestro Minotaur!
	12:06pm Jeff Moore: Happy marathon show, Kurtele.
	12:06pm P-90: It makes me dizzy but in a good way. A kind of playful vertigo, you might say.
	12:09pm chresti: New Negativland!
	12:09pm listener james from westwood: Like the return of a musical comet!
	12:18pm Kurt Gottschalk: hey everyone! thanks for stopping by!
	12:19pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Kurt. The flipside of Sally Go 'Round The Roses, Sing Along With The Jaynettes is real good too! I like to imagine Grace Slick and Tim Buckley both sang along with it and said "Fuck yeah, I'm doing this!" before they played it in public.
	12:19pm chresti: Where have all the pizza huts gone....
	12:21pm Kurt Gottschalk: there's a pizza hut in my hometown that turned into a thai restaurant but it still looks like a pizza hut if that's any consolation.
	12:22pm northguineahills: here but busy w/ family
	12:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: franco, my single has an instrumental mix on the flip. what song's on yours? hey ngh, glad to know you're out there.
	12:23pm chresti: Not a field of dandelions? Or, whatever grew in it's place @Talking Heads
	12:25pm Franco Twinkie: The Tasty Freeze by my mom's house is now a Thai Restaurant. It's not the best, but pretty good.
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: Crazy! I am working on my show for next Friday and just a few minutes ago I was listening to Jeanne Lee's take on Lazy Afternoon.
	12:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: DOUG! i've got jeanne lee in the stack! not sure if i have that one, tho.
	12:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: nope, not on the recent ran black set. ah well.
	12:27pm Franco Twinkie: Kurt, It's the same one. I can see it in my mind's eye! Mustard yellow with brown lettering.
	12:28pm Kurt Gottschalk: hahahahahahha! i love that you imagine grace slick and tim buckley singing along to instru 45s. i didn't quite get it at first. i hope they're using broomstick mic stands in your mind's eye.
	12:28pm Doug Schulkind: Yes, but that recent Ran Blake/Jeanne Lee trove is a joy. Hooray!
	12:32pm Kurt Gottschalk: absolutely. i'll get to it sometime this afternoon.
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: Better hurry. You're running out of time.
	12:33pm Kurt Gottschalk: :D
	12:36pm annie: :)
	12:36pm Bryce: what the
	12:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: this next song is dedicated to all the bryces out there!
	12:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: hi, annie!
	12:38pm Linda Lee: this must be the place! hello!
	12:38pm Bryce: quickly pushes clones into laundry hamper
	12:40pm Kurt Gottschalk: saturday is clone-cleaning day, i see...
	12:47pm Jacinda: I keep my clones in a pristine state, thank you.
	12:48pm Kurt Gottschalk: a clean clone is a happy clone, no?
	12:55pm chresti: I was just about to start a load of clone laundry
	1:02pm Franco Twinkie: Makes a good bed, Kurt. A late night mellow DJ vibe in the morning!(here)
	1:07pm Kurt Gottschalk: franco, i'll flip it for the second half the show
	1:09pm northguineahills: I'm not familiar w/ the Freeman Etudes, and I've studied a lot of Cage, how did I miss it???!!
	1:14pm Kurt Gottschalk: well, there is a lot of it...
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: hi Kurt and all
	1:16pm Kurt Gottschalk: heya coel!
	1:19pm fred: Good afternoon Kurt and all. I'm late, I was listening to an interview of the director of Instants Chavirés (my favorite venue)
	1:22pm Linda Lee: just saw a great little documentary on the collaborative partnershp between Cage & Cunningham, called 'from zero'. recommended.
	1:25pm Kurt Gottschalk: hiya, fred and linda! linda, i don't know that one, will have to look for it.
	1:28pm Linda Lee: youtube meandering :-) some folks here know this, but a lady i cared for was the first treasurer of the ny mycological society when Cage was chair. she had many great stories to tell of their outings. fun times! she saw lots of initial performances of his work in new york. adored him.
	1:28pm fred: I see I missed Wu Man. Punching self innaface in penance
	1:30pm Linda Lee: i also have a parlor chair Cage once used, if i can pry it out of the barn it's sitting in. :-D
	1:30pm Kurt Gottschalk: linda, that's great! i'd love to have heard her tales. fred, you only have to keep punching yourself until the archive is up.
	1:34pm Linda Lee: Kurt, they'd sit in a ditch somewhere near a forest after hunting fungi & talk about how his work was going. my friend remembered John's description of a certain premier in Europe, possibly Paris, where the audience was so upset by the performance they threw garbage at the musicians. John was thrilled by that. they were paying attention!
	1:34pm Franco Twinkie: Linda, In 1984 I saw John Cage and Merce Cunningham together at the Pasadena Civic. John fiddled with a pile of old radios on a table while Merce jumped around and ran back and forth. It was close to my house, so I walked to the show.
	1:35pm Kurt Gottschalk: linda, such a good story
	1:36pm Linda Lee: that's my idea of fun to watch, Franco. it's easy to forget how utterly senseless Cage's work seemed for a long time, to general audiences. a joke punchline. absurdity. fraud. i, personally, love his work & most likely would have loved him just as my friend did. always a twinkle in his eye, she told me.
	1:37pm Linda Lee: the guy everyone wanted to sit with at dinner. :-) just a very generous spirit.
	1:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, all. Good day to Play Kurt-igo.
	1:39pm Kurt Gottschalk: haha, hey k from hp!
	1:40pm Linda Lee: Kurt-igo! :-D
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: hey if this piece is turned up loud, does it qualify as "blasting" it?
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: ("wandering")
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: Good GTDR week for Al Stewart!
	1:43pm fred: There's a Cage quote (among a bunch of others) on a theater where I often go for dance shows: "I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I'm doing"
	1:44pm Linda Lee: fabulous. :-)
	1:45pm P-90: Haven’t heard this Al in a long time. Al presented a whole package: the songwriting, performance, arrangement, production, engineering all fit together.
	1:45pm listener james from westwood: Uh-oh, sax solo, Michael Shelley's gonna start punching a wall.
	1:45pm Linda Lee: fred, i like this one: 'i can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. i'm frightened of the old ones.'
	1:47pm Linda Lee: all that airplay back when, ruined this song for me totally. i'm trying, though.
	1:48pm Doug Schulkind: From Wikipedia: "The song is also of note for having the highest note ever hit on an alto saxophone by Phil Kenzie on a studio recording as a lead into the sax solo as Peter White's acoustic guitar solo was ending."
	1:49pm listener james from westwood: It's stuff in the early/mid '90s that falls into that category of radio overplay for me. I lost a vote at the office to have FMU on, and they switched to the local top 40 channel. I kept tick marks for the # of times I heard dross like Ace of Base and Sheryl Crow. 6 times for some songs in 8 hours! Agonizing.
	1:51pm Linda Lee: i think i'd stopped hearing commercial radio by then. no idea! sorry about the vote, james.
	1:52pm Linda Lee: i think people like the predictability & also the fact that they don't have to pay attentiion to it.
	1:53pm listener james from westwood: It all worked out. Got my own cube vs. a communal office shortly thereafter. The next job was even better b/c I could stream the station to headphones!
	1:54pm listener james from westwood: "I could listen all day to everything I can't remember hearing!"
	1:54pm Kurt Gottschalk: i love not paying attention to things. i can not pay attention to the most demanding or nuanced of art. and i'm ace at not paying attention to news on the radio.
	1:54pm fred: The first time someone in my office asked me to play what I was listening to out loud, it was Kenny G's show. It was also the last time
	1:54pm listener james from westwood: (For the benefit of NYC area folks, it was Z100. Brutal. At least I didn't have to listen to their fucking zoo program during drive time.)
	1:55pm Linda Lee: sweet. here's what i like: my nearest neighbor is using a chainsaw right now & the sound works really well with the muddersten. even tonally!
	1:56pm fred: Someone outside is hammering on metal right now, it doesn't mesh that well
	1:56pm Linda Lee: eek! z100!
	2:02pm geezerette: Good left coast morning, Kurt and maze walkers !
	2:03pm chresti: Round one is done, now to free world minotaurs!
	2:04pm Jeff Moore: You need to give that guy a stern talking-to.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: i couldn't quite imagine Tim Buckley and/or Grace Slick singing just then...
	2:10pm geezerette: Free mini minotaurs ?! Free range?
	2:11pm Kurt Gottschalk: hey geez. and jeff, i will. i will.
	2:11pm Franco Twinkie: Well if you couldn't imagine Grace or Tim singing along how about me screaming at my mother on the phone to take her goddamned medicine, because that exactly what was happening while the reprise of that song was been played!
	2:16pm geezerette: Sewell worthy!
	2:16pm fred: Art Ensemble of Chicago segue? I'm all for it
	2:17pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, we'll get there, but not quite yet
	2:18pm geezerette: Sounds like me when someone quotes the latest tweet.
	2:19pm geezerette: Except this I like.
	2:19pm Kurt Gottschalk: haha geez
	2:20pm fred: @Franco Twinkie: Thanks for the timely reminder that I should take mine
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry Franco. for what it's worth, with the right effects i might've liked that as much as Grace Slick singing along.
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: (i am really sorry though. i remember struggling to get my father to take his meds/supps)
	2:29pm fred: I had a fun misunderstanding with a coworker, disagreeing about what we liked about Braxton. I meant Anthony, he meant Toni, and neither of us had even heard of the other Braxton. It took us close to 10 minutes to figure out something was amiss.
	2:31pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, it's what life is now. My mom is/was really great in all kinds of ways, but at this point she can be totally exasperating. She has always been a pharmaphobe, but all her weirdness is now dialed up to 11.
	2:33pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, that's hilarious. franco, hand in there.
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: hahaha i love when that happens, fred! i don't remember the subject but getting to the point of almost yelling at each-other like WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! then someone's like uh, wait, are you talking about ... ?
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: Franco, you've eluded to it. it's rough but you're strong and she's lucky you are.
	2:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder how many times that's happened where the subject is Kenny G.
	2:42pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: I think the good one even had a release with Jonathan Zorn to foster confusion, but it was probably too confidential to work
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: or Fabio
	2:43pm Kurt Gottschalk: indeed. www.etherbomb.com...
	2:46pm coelacanth∅: haha!
	2:49pm fred: Unfortunately, I've never had a confusion between Keiji Haino and Heino (who I only know from a People Like Us track)
	3:02pm fred: But I do remember overhearing two guys at a concert excited about how Donna Summer would be playing on a small side stage in a festival, with a very affordable ticket price. I asked where it was and checked once I got home, and sure enough, it was Jason Forrest. I regret not telling them, but maybe they had a nice surprise
	3:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, joyful day! It's Swagmas here!
	3:08pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: Merry Swagmas (it was yesterday for me)
	3:08pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, that's awesome
	3:10pm fred: Kurt, this show has been too so far
	3:10pm Kurt Gottschalk: awesome re: donna summer, but swagmas too!
	3:14pm fred: I once saw a show which featured both Jason Forrest and Ergo Phizmiz, most WFMU show so far, it will be tough to top
	3:22pm chresti: I wonder when my swagmire will come...
	3:22pm geezerette: i.pinimg.com... A Charles White drawing.
	3:41pm doctorjazz: Hey! Family wedding in the Berkshires, got here in time for Sonny! Looks like a great playlist (have to catch up with it another time).
	3:43pm geezerette: Enjoy the day, Doc !
	3:45pm Kurt Gottschalk: hey dr j! thanks for checking in!
	3:46pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Geez! Love it up here, hopefully get in a hike tomorrow before heading back to Joisey.
	3:47pm doctorjazz: Just killing a bit of time, then wedding at Shaker Village. Should be interesting...
	3:47pm geezerette: Sounds wonderful, Doc ! Cheers!
	3:48pm doctorjazz: You too Geez! Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
	3:49pm geezerette: Joni Mitchell?! WOW !
	3:50pm geezerette: I am, thanks! :)
	3:51pm doctorjazz: Joni the Jazz Singer!
	3:53pm geezerette: Would have been great to see her live then; must get album.
	4:00pm Kurt Gottschalk: it's a fantastic album, jazz arrangements of some of her known songs as well.
	4:01pm geezerette: We get another hour of the best!
	4:09pm geezerette: doo-wah doo-wah doo-wah doo-wah !
	4:11pm doctorjazz: Think I have the album somewhere at home,but haven't heard it in a long time. I remember the versions of her old songs being very different, with the orchestra and her smoky jazz singer voice, and really good.
	4:13pm doctorjazz: Off to the wedding, thanks for the fine musical interlude, Kurt!
	4:13pm geezerette: Yeah, great band behind her. Knocked me out !
	4:14pm geezerette: Chrissie Hynde, also astounding.
	4:29pm fred: Prince! I was waiting for this moment
	4:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): glad to share this with U all!
	4:31pm Kurt Gottschalk: but of course
	4:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): *2
	4:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: On vacation last month, visited the Minnesota State History Museum in St. Paul. They have an exhibit of First Avenue and some Prince memorabilia on display. Very moving.
	4:36pm Kurt Gottschalk: i need to get there
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite songs of all time (this version only)
	4:38pm fred: Nina!
	4:44pm geezerette: www.ninasimone.com... Simone and Baldwin
	4:50pm V Priceless: Kurt! Hey!
	4:51pm chresti: Thanks Kurt, always a great pleasure! See y'alls later!
	4:54pm northguineahills: Thanks, Kurt!
	4:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: First Avenue runs into next May: www.mnhs.org... You have some time.
	4:55pm geezerette: Thanks, Kurt, lovely show, always.
	4:58pm fred: Thanks Kurt, I really enjoyed hearing your show again (1-4am isn't working for me)
	4:59pm geezerette: Happy weekend; Ken FHP, NGH, Chresti, & all!
	4:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kurt take care

	12:18pm Kurt Gottschalk: hey everyone! thanks for stopping by!
	12:19pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Kurt. The flipside of Sally Go 'Round The Roses, Sing Along With The Jaynettes is real good too! I like to imagine Grace Slick and Tim Buckley both sang along with it and said "Fuck yeah, I'm doing this!" before they played it in public.
	12:19pm chresti: Where have all the pizza huts gone....
	12:21pm Kurt Gottschalk: there's a pizza hut in my hometown that turned into a thai restaurant but it still looks like a pizza hut if that's any consolation.
	12:22pm northguineahills: here but busy w/ family
	12:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: franco, my single has an instrumental mix on the flip. what song's on yours? hey ngh, glad to know you're out there.
	12:23pm chresti: Not a field of dandelions? Or, whatever grew in it's place @Talking Heads
	12:25pm Franco Twinkie: The Tasty Freeze by my mom's house is now a Thai Restaurant. It's not the best, but pretty good.
	12:25pm Doug Schulkind: Crazy! I am working on my show for next Friday and just a few minutes ago I was listening to Jeanne Lee's take on Lazy Afternoon.
	12:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: DOUG! i've got jeanne lee in the stack! not sure if i have that one, tho.
	12:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: nope, not on the recent ran black set. ah well.
	12:27pm Franco Twinkie: Kurt, It's the same one. I can see it in my mind's eye! Mustard yellow with brown lettering.
	12:28pm Kurt Gottschalk: hahahahahahha! i love that you imagine grace slick and tim buckley singing along to instru 45s. i didn't quite get it at first. i hope they're using broomstick mic stands in your mind's eye.
	12:28pm Doug Schulkind: Yes, but that recent Ran Blake/Jeanne Lee trove is a joy. Hooray!
	12:32pm Kurt Gottschalk: absolutely. i'll get to it sometime this afternoon.
	12:32pm Doug Schulkind: Better hurry. You're running out of time.

	12:36pm Bryce: what the
	12:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: this next song is dedicated to all the bryces out there!
	12:38pm Kurt Gottschalk: hi, annie!
	12:38pm Linda Lee: this must be the place! hello!
	12:38pm Bryce: quickly pushes clones into laundry hamper
	12:40pm Kurt Gottschalk: saturday is clone-cleaning day, i see...
	12:47pm Jacinda: I keep my clones in a pristine state, thank you.
	12:48pm Kurt Gottschalk: a clean clone is a happy clone, no?
	12:55pm chresti: I was just about to start a load of clone laundry
	1:02pm Franco Twinkie: Makes a good bed, Kurt. A late night mellow DJ vibe in the morning!(here)
	1:07pm Kurt Gottschalk: franco, i'll flip it for the second half the show
	1:09pm northguineahills: I'm not familiar w/ the Freeman Etudes, and I've studied a lot of Cage, how did I miss it???!!
	1:14pm Kurt Gottschalk: well, there is a lot of it...
	1:15pm coelacanth∅: hi Kurt and all
	1:16pm Kurt Gottschalk: heya coel!
	1:19pm fred: Good afternoon Kurt and all. I'm late, I was listening to an interview of the director of Instants Chavirés (my favorite venue)
	1:22pm Linda Lee: just saw a great little documentary on the collaborative partnershp between Cage & Cunningham, called 'from zero'. recommended.
	1:25pm Kurt Gottschalk: hiya, fred and linda! linda, i don't know that one, will have to look for it.
	1:28pm Linda Lee: youtube meandering :-) some folks here know this, but a lady i cared for was the first treasurer of the ny mycological society when Cage was chair. she had many great stories to tell of their outings. fun times! she saw lots of initial performances of his work in new york. adored him.
	1:28pm fred: I see I missed Wu Man. Punching self innaface in penance
	1:30pm Linda Lee: i also have a parlor chair Cage once used, if i can pry it out of the barn it's sitting in. :-D
	1:30pm Kurt Gottschalk: linda, that's great! i'd love to have heard her tales. fred, you only have to keep punching yourself until the archive is up.
	1:34pm Linda Lee: Kurt, they'd sit in a ditch somewhere near a forest after hunting fungi & talk about how his work was going. my friend remembered John's description of a certain premier in Europe, possibly Paris, where the audience was so upset by the performance they threw garbage at the musicians. John was thrilled by that. they were paying attention!
	1:34pm Franco Twinkie: Linda, In 1984 I saw John Cage and Merce Cunningham together at the Pasadena Civic. John fiddled with a pile of old radios on a table while Merce jumped around and ran back and forth. It was close to my house, so I walked to the show.
	1:35pm Kurt Gottschalk: linda, such a good story
	1:36pm Linda Lee: that's my idea of fun to watch, Franco. it's easy to forget how utterly senseless Cage's work seemed for a long time, to general audiences. a joke punchline. absurdity. fraud. i, personally, love his work & most likely would have loved him just as my friend did. always a twinkle in his eye, she told me.
	1:37pm Linda Lee: the guy everyone wanted to sit with at dinner. :-) just a very generous spirit.
	1:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, all. Good day to Play Kurt-igo.
	1:39pm Kurt Gottschalk: haha, hey k from hp!
	1:40pm Linda Lee: Kurt-igo! :-D
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: hey if this piece is turned up loud, does it qualify as "blasting" it?
	1:42pm coelacanth∅: ("wandering")
	1:42pm listener james from westwood: Good GTDR week for Al Stewart!
	1:43pm fred: There's a Cage quote (among a bunch of others) on a theater where I often go for dance shows: "I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I'm doing"
	1:44pm Linda Lee: fabulous. :-)
	1:45pm P-90: Haven’t heard this Al in a long time. Al presented a whole package: the songwriting, performance, arrangement, production, engineering all fit together.
	1:45pm listener james from westwood: Uh-oh, sax solo, Michael Shelley's gonna start punching a wall.
	1:45pm Linda Lee: fred, i like this one: 'i can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. i'm frightened of the old ones.'
	1:47pm Linda Lee: all that airplay back when, ruined this song for me totally. i'm trying, though.
	1:48pm Doug Schulkind: From Wikipedia: "The song is also of note for having the highest note ever hit on an alto saxophone by Phil Kenzie on a studio recording as a lead into the sax solo as Peter White's acoustic guitar solo was ending."
	1:49pm listener james from westwood: It's stuff in the early/mid '90s that falls into that category of radio overplay for me. I lost a vote at the office to have FMU on, and they switched to the local top 40 channel. I kept tick marks for the # of times I heard dross like Ace of Base and Sheryl Crow. 6 times for some songs in 8 hours! Agonizing.
	1:51pm Linda Lee: i think i'd stopped hearing commercial radio by then. no idea! sorry about the vote, james.
	1:52pm Linda Lee: i think people like the predictability & also the fact that they don't have to pay attentiion to it.
	1:53pm listener james from westwood: It all worked out. Got my own cube vs. a communal office shortly thereafter. The next job was even better b/c I could stream the station to headphones!
	1:54pm listener james from westwood: "I could listen all day to everything I can't remember hearing!"
	1:54pm Kurt Gottschalk: i love not paying attention to things. i can not pay attention to the most demanding or nuanced of art. and i'm ace at not paying attention to news on the radio.
	1:54pm fred: The first time someone in my office asked me to play what I was listening to out loud, it was Kenny G's show. It was also the last time
	1:54pm listener james from westwood: (For the benefit of NYC area folks, it was Z100. Brutal. At least I didn't have to listen to their fucking zoo program during drive time.)
	1:55pm Linda Lee: sweet. here's what i like: my nearest neighbor is using a chainsaw right now & the sound works really well with the muddersten. even tonally!
	1:56pm fred: Someone outside is hammering on metal right now, it doesn't mesh that well
	1:56pm Linda Lee: eek! z100!
	2:02pm geezerette: Good left coast morning, Kurt and maze walkers !
	2:03pm chresti: Round one is done, now to free world minotaurs!
	2:04pm Jeff Moore: You need to give that guy a stern talking-to.
	2:05pm coelacanth∅: i couldn't quite imagine Tim Buckley and/or Grace Slick singing just then...
	2:10pm geezerette: Free mini minotaurs ?! Free range?
	2:11pm Kurt Gottschalk: hey geez. and jeff, i will. i will.
	2:11pm Franco Twinkie: Well if you couldn't imagine Grace or Tim singing along how about me screaming at my mother on the phone to take her goddamned medicine, because that exactly what was happening while the reprise of that song was been played!
	2:16pm geezerette: Sewell worthy!
	2:16pm fred: Art Ensemble of Chicago segue? I'm all for it
	2:17pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, we'll get there, but not quite yet
	2:18pm geezerette: Sounds like me when someone quotes the latest tweet.
	2:19pm geezerette: Except this I like.
	2:19pm Kurt Gottschalk: haha geez
	2:20pm fred: @Franco Twinkie: Thanks for the timely reminder that I should take mine
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry Franco. for what it's worth, with the right effects i might've liked that as much as Grace Slick singing along.
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: (i am really sorry though. i remember struggling to get my father to take his meds/supps)
	2:29pm fred: I had a fun misunderstanding with a coworker, disagreeing about what we liked about Braxton. I meant Anthony, he meant Toni, and neither of us had even heard of the other Braxton. It took us close to 10 minutes to figure out something was amiss.
	2:31pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, it's what life is now. My mom is/was really great in all kinds of ways, but at this point she can be totally exasperating. She has always been a pharmaphobe, but all her weirdness is now dialed up to 11.
	2:33pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, that's hilarious. franco, hand in there.
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: hahaha i love when that happens, fred! i don't remember the subject but getting to the point of almost yelling at each-other like WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! then someone's like uh, wait, are you talking about ... ?
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: Franco, you've eluded to it. it's rough but you're strong and she's lucky you are.
	2:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder how many times that's happened where the subject is Kenny G.
	2:42pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: I think the good one even had a release with Jonathan Zorn to foster confusion, but it was probably too confidential to work
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: or Fabio
	2:43pm Kurt Gottschalk: indeed. www.etherbomb.com...
	2:46pm coelacanth∅: haha!
	2:49pm fred: Unfortunately, I've never had a confusion between Keiji Haino and Heino (who I only know from a People Like Us track)
	3:02pm fred: But I do remember overhearing two guys at a concert excited about how Donna Summer would be playing on a small side stage in a festival, with a very affordable ticket price. I asked where it was and checked once I got home, and sure enough, it was Jason Forrest. I regret not telling them, but maybe they had a nice surprise
	3:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, joyful day! It's Swagmas here!
	3:08pm fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: Merry Swagmas (it was yesterday for me)
	3:08pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, that's awesome
	3:10pm fred: Kurt, this show has been too so far
	3:10pm Kurt Gottschalk: awesome re: donna summer, but swagmas too!
	3:14pm fred: I once saw a show which featured both Jason Forrest and Ergo Phizmiz, most WFMU show so far, it will be tough to top
	3:22pm chresti: I wonder when my swagmire will come...
	3:22pm geezerette: i.pinimg.com... A Charles White drawing.
	3:41pm doctorjazz: Hey! Family wedding in the Berkshires, got here in time for Sonny! Looks like a great playlist (have to catch up with it another time).
	3:43pm geezerette: Enjoy the day, Doc !
	3:45pm Kurt Gottschalk: hey dr j! thanks for checking in!
	3:46pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Geez! Love it up here, hopefully get in a hike tomorrow before heading back to Joisey.
	3:47pm doctorjazz: Just killing a bit of time, then wedding at Shaker Village. Should be interesting...

	3:48pm doctorjazz: You too Geez! Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
	3:49pm geezerette: Joni Mitchell?! WOW !
	3:50pm geezerette: I am, thanks! :)
	3:51pm doctorjazz: Joni the Jazz Singer!
	3:53pm geezerette: Would have been great to see her live then; must get album.
	4:00pm Kurt Gottschalk: it's a fantastic album, jazz arrangements of some of her known songs as well.
	4:01pm geezerette: We get another hour of the best!
	4:09pm geezerette: doo-wah doo-wah doo-wah doo-wah !
	4:11pm doctorjazz: Think I have the album somewhere at home,but haven't heard it in a long time. I remember the versions of her old songs being very different, with the orchestra and her smoky jazz singer voice, and really good.
	4:13pm doctorjazz: Off to the wedding, thanks for the fine musical interlude, Kurt!
	4:13pm geezerette: Yeah, great band behind her. Knocked me out !
	4:14pm geezerette: Chrissie Hynde, also astounding.
	4:29pm fred: Prince! I was waiting for this moment
	4:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): glad to share this with U all!
	4:31pm Kurt Gottschalk: but of course
	4:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): *2
	4:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: On vacation last month, visited the Minnesota State History Museum in St. Paul. They have an exhibit of First Avenue and some Prince memorabilia on display. Very moving.
	4:36pm Kurt Gottschalk: i need to get there
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: one of my favorite songs of all time (this version only)
	4:38pm fred: Nina!
	4:44pm geezerette: www.ninasimone.com... Simone and Baldwin
	4:50pm V Priceless: Kurt! Hey!
	4:51pm chresti: Thanks Kurt, always a great pleasure! See y'alls later!
	4:54pm northguineahills: Thanks, Kurt!
	4:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: First Avenue runs into next May: www.mnhs.org... You have some time.
	4:55pm geezerette: Thanks, Kurt, lovely show, always.
	4:58pm fred: Thanks Kurt, I really enjoyed hearing your show again (1-4am isn't working for me)
	4:59pm geezerette: Happy weekend; Ken FHP, NGH, Chresti, & all!
