	♥ 3:26pm Webhamster Henry: MORE COWBELL!
	♥ 3:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - doing Gene Clark tune off bYRdS' 1st. <3
	3:27pm listener monica: groovy! and greetings from I-86!
	♥ 3:28pm Tamar: I agree, more cowbell. Not sure if I can make that happen today, though.
	♥ 3:28pm Webhamster Henry: I brought my Agogo out to my "Widow Jane Mine: Widstock" event yesterday.
	♥ 3:40pm doctorjazz: I have that Holsapple/Staley album, but didn't catch that it was a cover. Cool! Thanks RR Nov63!
	3:45pm Last White Rhino: Hi Tamar, enjoying your selections.
	♥ 3:53pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Tamar!
	♥ 3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yeah Doc! bYRdS' debut album in my Top20 Ever oddly enuff...
	♥ 3:57pm chresti: Hello again, safe inside, away from all those loud trucks..
	3:57pm Carmichael: Heya Tamar and crew.
	♥ 3:59pm Stanley: Tamar, friends. So happy to hear music from Sudan
	♥ 4:01pm Rich in Washington: This show is wonderful!
	♥ 4:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always a lovely sojourn Tamar.
	4:09pm greatb: very cool. I just caught some subcontinent vibes from the GTD stream and it dovetailed nicely into this :)
	4:10pm northguineahills: I once got to dj w/ Cheb i Sabbah. nice guy....
	4:13pm Fox: Hello everyone!
	♥ 4:14pm doctorjazz: (Have the Byrds 1st as well, too many records, too little time, as I'm known to repeat ad nauseam..)
	♥ 4:19pm queems: i really liked that transition
	♥ 4:19pm fred: @doctorjazz: I think you said someone else in your household endorses the "too many records" part
	♥ 4:30pm fred: That was a great 75 Dollar Bill track. And I get why they named it after Tetuzi Akiyama, more his "boogie" side maybe
	♥ 4:32pm Phillippe Bastille: Sky's rumblin' here in the Land of Pleasant Living...
	4:37pm Dr. Goot: Eventh indeed!
	♥ 4:39pm doctorjazz: Oh, I don't think there's "too many", just wish I had the time to get to them all, get in good listening time (which is limited by job, family stuff, trying to stay in sort of shape, etc) always have a big "on deck" section. The missus, on the other hand...
	♥ 4:41pm Webhamster Henry: This is the NYS Thruway/ Northway! I know it well.
	4:41pm P-90: Lovin’ it all, DJ Tamar. Thanks for being here today.
	♥ 4:42pm Phillippe Bastille: @doctorjazz @fred My wife is an avid scrapbooker, so there is no attempt to tell me I have too much of anything.
	♥ 4:48pm rsj: great show volume fluctuations intentional, known issue or within our "sound system" here?
	♥ 4:52pm fred: I really thought this was The Liminanas, L'épée is new to me. Nice
	4:55pm olivia: @fred l'epée has the liminanas in it! i'm really into that record :~)
	♥ 4:57pm doctorjazz: Ahh, @PB, my wife is of the, "if you haven't used it in 6 months,throw it out" mindset. I,on the other hand, an a collector, hoarder, hate throwing stuff out, makes for an interesting dynamic. Our 2 daughters split evenly along those lines as well.
	♥ 5:05pm Phillippe Bastille: @doctorjazz My wife did not fall far from the tree in her family. Her parents spent about 20 years building a six bedroom house, one level (3 bedrooms) intended as a rental property for income when they retired. Only problem is momma was a hoarder, and only 2 bedrooms could be slept in by the time she passed. 2 garages, only one of which could hold a single car. 4 dumpsters and about a dozen full size pickup runs to Goodwill to clear it
	♥ 5:14pm doctorjazz: :)
	♥ 5:17pm Phillippe Bastille: Ya know, at just about every point in the day someone is scrolling across the dial and getting their first exposure to FMU...
	♥ 5:17pm blee: Has McGasko done a show with nothing but 3 hours of "Brazil" yet?
	5:18pm Carmichael: @doctor, I'm also a "throw it away" guy. I have a statute of limitations in my house, otherwise I'd be buried alive.
	5:18pm P-90: Maybe don’t give him any ideas...?
	♥ 5:19pm fred: @blee: maybe he saves it for the mandatory reporting week, it might make the paperwork easier to fill (a paradox, I guess)
	♥ 5:20pm doctorjazz: @Fred,Carmichael, Phillippe, my wife likens her fate to Sisyphus, struggling against entropy, and her housemates/life-mate, to preserve order.
	♥ 5:21pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): …enjoying these sounds, and the conversation about STUFF. I tend to "collect" stuff then go through wild purging phases. The problem is, my sweetie will pull all of the books i'm trying to get rid of out of the going away pile. We will be smothered under books someday, and he has no remorse.
	♥ 5:25pm fred: @doctojazz: What? Do you mean there is no order in your record collection? @Granny Spicy Tuna: My neighbors' kids are fascinated by the piles of books they see from the door (I don't have much furniture, just piles)
	♥ 5:27pm dale: hello. this is like a weird version of birdland done by people living in an institution.
	5:28pm Carmichael: He he Dale ... I was just about to say "outpatient therapy".
	♥ 5:30pm dale: tamar - were you on air in the early 90s? i feel like i was listening to you and heard 'sleepyhead' by ed kuepper and i ran out and bought the cd. it was one of my early fmu 'aha' moments.....
	♥ 5:30pm Phillippe Bastille: Again: "Ya know, at just about every point in the day someone is scrolling across the dial and getting their first exposure to FMU..."
	♥ 5:31pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): @fred: piles is a style! my mama had so many friends with that style, i didn't realize the whole world wasn't like that until i explored the world a little furter…
	♥ 5:32pm Phillippe Bastille: @Granny I probably only need a dozen books or so now, because I can't remember reading anything two years down the road, and I'm an extremely slow reader.
	♥ 5:33pm doctorjazz: @Fred, I went through a phase about 20 years ago where I alphabetized and created a database of all my LPs and CDs set the time (which was about 6,000 units...i had more free time then). Since then,though, I've struggled to keep it that way (and added many more albums), managed to keep it semi organized but much chaos exists in the midst of the original structure.
	♥ 5:33pm chresti: fred, my boyfriend has so many piles of books, records, and artwork, clothes, we have to carve a path to get to the windows and doors. I warn him I'll call the fire marshal if he blocks the escape routes
	♥ 5:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Phillippe Bastille: i have re-read books that i have read several times throughout my life and wondered, did i actually READ this? I've been bragging that this was my favorite novel and it's so unfamiliar?!?!? (same with movies)
	♥ 5:34pm fred: @Granny Spicy Tuna: My favorite bookshop is also big on the pile aesthetics (they do have shelves, but not enough, which makes accommodating more than a few customers in there challenging)
	♥ 5:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): chresti: i am very particular about escape routes! i am a hot mess about everything else
	♥ 5:37pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): fred: which is your favorite bookshop (i'll bet it's one my sweetie loves, too)
	♥ 5:37pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST Yup. I'm in that club
	♥ 5:38pm Tamar: Yes, Dale, did an overnight and then the Joe McGasko Monday morning slot in the late 90s.
	♥ 5:39pm Tamar: Feeling the stuff conversation!
	5:39pm Neptune Beach Florida: I just reread something from my childhood and am glad I did. I missed a bunch of stuff. I tried rereading heart of darkness thinking that grad school and my doctorate would make it easier to follow. It didn’t.
	♥ 5:40pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i could probably just read the same book over and over for the rest of my life and it would always be new to me
	5:40pm Carmichael: This sounds like Shooby Taylor.
	♥ 5:40pm doctorjazz: That Slavic Soul Party track was great...gotta see them one day. do they Still play in Brooklyn every week?
	♥ 5:42pm fred: @Granny Spicy Tuna: Abbey Bookshop in Paris, it's a Canadian bookshop whose owner formerly owned one in Toronto. There are plenty of pics if you google it. This one gives you an idea: www.flickr.com...
	♥ 5:42pm Phillippe Bastille: The worst part is every now and then I find a file on my computer and read it and realize I don't remember writing it...
	♥ 5:45pm Phillippe Bastille: Fred, is that your Flickr feed? Very nice pics, good lookin' people and pets
	♥ 5:46pm fred: No, it's not mine, I just looked up the bookshop and picked the first pic from inside
	♥ 5:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Ah. Well, I'm sure your family is full of good lookin' people and pets as well.
	5:47pm queems: macedonians! i need to learn more about the music of my ancestors
	♥ 5:51pm dale: music of my ancestors is the country cornpone of lonzo and oscar and some guy lombardo.
	♥ 5:51pm fred: @PB: Not remembering files I wrote happens regularly to me. Annoying for a software developer
	5:54pm YETI BOB: Once in a while I hear a track that perfecly encapsulates the WFMU aesthetic. Can't define it, but I know it when I hear it. And this Diagram Brothers track is a perfect example.
	♥ 5:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): @fred: that looks like his kind of bookshope (and mine!) i'll ask him. He spends all of his time in Paris at the bookstores. In Hawaii it was branch libraries!
	5:56pm northguineahills: Thanks, Tamar!
	5:56pm Dr. Goot: Killer closer, great show! Thanks, Tamar.
	♥ 5:56pm Phillippe Bastille: @Fred I know, right? I'm a content developer, and I'll start writing something and go "hmmmm, this sounds kind of familiar..." and realize I'd already written it
	5:56pm Carmichael: Way to rock, Tamar!
	♥ 5:57pm Phillippe Bastille: Great show Tamar. Don't be a stranger!
	♥ 5:57pm chresti: Thanks Tamar!
	♥ 5:58pm ultradamno: Buzz them cocks!
	♥ 5:58pm doctorjazz: Punk lives! Thanks Tamar!
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: U R XLNT!
	6:00pm Will: Tamar you must tell us when you'll be on the air! Missed the whole dang show!

	♥ 5:33pm doctorjazz: @Fred, I went through a phase about 20 years ago where I alphabetized and created a database of all my LPs and CDs set the time (which was about 6,000 units...i had more free time then). Since then,though, I've struggled to keep it that way (and added many more albums), managed to keep it semi organized but much chaos exists in the midst of the original structure.
	♥ 5:33pm chresti: fred, my boyfriend has so many piles of books, records, and artwork, clothes, we have to carve a path to get to the windows and doors. I warn him I'll call the fire marshal if he blocks the escape routes
	♥ 5:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): Phillippe Bastille: i have re-read books that i have read several times throughout my life and wondered, did i actually READ this? I've been bragging that this was my favorite novel and it's so unfamiliar?!?!? (same with movies)
	♥ 5:34pm fred: @Granny Spicy Tuna: My favorite bookshop is also big on the pile aesthetics (they do have shelves, but not enough, which makes accommodating more than a few customers in there challenging)
	♥ 5:36pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): chresti: i am very particular about escape routes! i am a hot mess about everything else
	♥ 5:37pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): fred: which is your favorite bookshop (i'll bet it's one my sweetie loves, too)
	♥ 5:37pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST Yup. I'm in that club
	♥ 5:38pm Tamar: Yes, Dale, did an overnight and then the Joe McGasko Monday morning slot in the late 90s.
	♥ 5:39pm Tamar: Feeling the stuff conversation!
	5:39pm Neptune Beach Florida: I just reread something from my childhood and am glad I did. I missed a bunch of stuff. I tried rereading heart of darkness thinking that grad school and my doctorate would make it easier to follow. It didn’t.
	♥ 5:40pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): i could probably just read the same book over and over for the rest of my life and it would always be new to me
	5:40pm Carmichael: This sounds like Shooby Taylor.
	♥ 5:40pm doctorjazz: That Slavic Soul Party track was great...gotta see them one day. do they Still play in Brooklyn every week?
	♥ 5:42pm fred: @Granny Spicy Tuna: Abbey Bookshop in Paris, it's a Canadian bookshop whose owner formerly owned one in Toronto. There are plenty of pics if you google it. This one gives you an idea: www.flickr.com...
	♥ 5:42pm Phillippe Bastille: The worst part is every now and then I find a file on my computer and read it and realize I don't remember writing it...
	♥ 5:45pm Phillippe Bastille: Fred, is that your Flickr feed? Very nice pics, good lookin' people and pets
	♥ 5:46pm fred: No, it's not mine, I just looked up the bookshop and picked the first pic from inside
	♥ 5:47pm Phillippe Bastille: Ah. Well, I'm sure your family is full of good lookin' people and pets as well.
	5:47pm queems: macedonians! i need to learn more about the music of my ancestors
	♥ 5:51pm dale: music of my ancestors is the country cornpone of lonzo and oscar and some guy lombardo.
	♥ 5:51pm fred: @PB: Not remembering files I wrote happens regularly to me. Annoying for a software developer
	5:54pm YETI BOB: Once in a while I hear a track that perfecly encapsulates the WFMU aesthetic. Can't define it, but I know it when I hear it. And this Diagram Brothers track is a perfect example.
	♥ 5:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): @fred: that looks like his kind of bookshope (and mine!) i'll ask him. He spends all of his time in Paris at the bookstores. In Hawaii it was branch libraries!
	5:56pm northguineahills: Thanks, Tamar!
	5:56pm Dr. Goot: Killer closer, great show! Thanks, Tamar.
	♥ 5:56pm Phillippe Bastille: @Fred I know, right? I'm a content developer, and I'll start writing something and go "hmmmm, this sounds kind of familiar..." and realize I'd already written it
	5:56pm Carmichael: Way to rock, Tamar!
	♥ 5:57pm Phillippe Bastille: Great show Tamar. Don't be a stranger!
	♥ 5:57pm chresti: Thanks Tamar!
	♥ 5:58pm ultradamno: Buzz them cocks!
	♥ 5:58pm doctorjazz: Punk lives! Thanks Tamar!
	♥ 5:59pm Ken From Hyde Park: U R XLNT!
	6:00pm Will: Tamar you must tell us when you'll be on the air! Missed the whole dang show!
