	10:02pm TDK60: Hello, where it's at is here.
	10:02pm Erica: Chicago? Crud yeah!
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Jeff Ash: Greetings, everyone, on this rather nippy Wisconsin evening!
	♥ 10:02pm Funky16Corners: TDK60!
	♥ 10:02pm Funky16Corners: Jeff! The cold is setting in here as well.
	♥ 10:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Weren’t they still technically CTA at this point
	10:03pm Kris Holmes: Freebird!!!!
	10:03pm Erica: Yes but for legal reasons they had to shorten the name Matt.
	10:03pm Erica: Pinball Wizard!
	♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kris!
	10:04pm Erica: Sorry had to do it.
	10:05pm Kris Holmes: The only Chicago era I can stomach, first LP & 45 off it are all I keep filed
	♥ 10:05pm Funky16Corners: There's some great video of them at Tanglewood around this time and they cook.
	♥ 10:07pm Funky16Corners: Also dig the Astrud Gilberto version of this which is sublime.
	10:07pm Kris Holmes: Yeah they shredded live at this era while they were still hungry I’d expect
	10:08pm fleep: A most groovy good evening
	♥ 10:08pm Funky16Corners: The band was surprisingly small, as well. Just a four piece with a three piece horn section.
	♥ 10:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey Fleep!
	♥ 10:09pm ParUbi: This song is so zen
	10:09pm Erica: Flapping your fins to the tune eh Fleep?
	10:09pm TDK60: Donovan! with his flute Harold McNair.
	10:10pm TDK60: [player]
	♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of Donovan playing it with Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66
	10:11pm Doug Schulkind: Impeachify!
	♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	10:12pm Erica: Hahaha Doug. I wouldn't normally bring up politics here but I heard of Trump's impeachment too.
	♥ 10:12pm Funky16Corners: Go ahead and bring it up. Fuck that guy. I sat through a long string of old white guys with southern drawls lying all afternoon and into dinner.
	10:14pm Erica: Oh Larry, I can tell you hated him. You post hateful, yet funny insults to him on Twitter. Too hilarious.
	♥ 10:14pm ParUbi: See, I just can't sit through that-- they make my skin crawl, listening to them
	10:14pm TDK60: In the shifting images, the blue 'Where It's At' pamphlet is a 1960s leftist one possibly associated with SDS. One can see it more up close : digital.library.pitt.edu...
	♥ 10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: No longer Erica
	10:15pm Kris Holmes: El Goodo is one of my fave BS tracks
	10:15pm Erica: As of now Matt, no longer.
	♥ 10:15pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I got exiled from Twitter for my gadly-ery
	♥ 10:15pm Funky16Corners: @Kris - Mine too
	♥ 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Right on Larry, burn the motherfucker to the ground! Now back to your regular programming.
	♥ 10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: I miss seeing Alex. He lived on the next block from my friend. He was a genuinely nice dude.
	♥ 10:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco!
	10:16pm TDK60: Impeachment is the least they can do. That guy should tried at The Hague.
	10:16pm Erica: Well now you never have to worry about that anymore Larry, at least for a while.
	10:17pm rw: Evening! I lost track. Is there a mountain or not?
	♥ 10:17pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	10:19pm TDK60: [be] my aging brain is going..
	♥ 10:19pm Franco Twinkie: I only saw Alex once, when he reconstituted Big Star. But once is better than not at all.
	♥ 10:19pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I like to dream that my last salvo pushed the impeachment over the edge. My work is done.
	10:21pm rw: Oh! I was going to say something about impeachment but talking about Alex Chilton is more fun. I saw him in Huntington beach at that place with the grass on the walls.... Sam's something or other?
	♥ 10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I just meant in a literal neighborly sense Franco but I always enjoyed seeing him play in a backing band at the stomp over the years.
	10:21pm TDK60: ..wow, pulling out some old gems. This song is an Organasm!
	♥ 10:22pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - A burst of pure joy! One of my all time faves!
	10:23pm rw: Safari Sam's!
	♥ 10:24pm Funky16Corners: Go Garth!
	♥ 10:27pm chresti: This album was played often on the family music center by my older brother, in the early seventies-Big Pink.
	10:28pm Erica: What about New Year's Day night? No show?
	♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: hello
	10:30pm Dean: Three Dog Night does a decent take on Chest Fever.
	♥ 10:30pm Funky16Corners: That week I start my new shift, so the 2nd instead of the 1st
	♥ 10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! Dean! Yes they do!
	10:31pm Erica: The Testify! move will mess up my own routine. Luckily there's the archives.
	♥ 10:31pm Funky16Corners: I will miss having you here!
	10:32pm rw: Okay, I wasn't listening closely enough. When is the new Testify!?
	10:32pm TDK60: This F.M. song is almost Savoy Brown-like; close UK blues rock bands they were at the time. Saw them both together at the Fillmore East.
	10:33pm rw: I mean, Where is the new Testify! at?
	♥ 10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: My flute dose of the day!
	♥ 10:33pm coelacanth∅: i knew the 3 dog night version years before i heard the original and always considered it one of the less noteworthy songs on it ain't easy. i wish i'd heard the band's version first. (even though i don't care for the band, in general, and 3 dog night was my favorite band when i was 7-8...after the beatles)
	♥ 10:33pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Thursdays 3PM Eastern to 5PM starting Jan 2
	10:34pm Dean: I saw "Savoy Brown" (scare quotes) in Anaheim c.1979. Might have opened for ELO?
	♥ 10:34pm chresti: That song is my favorite FM song
	♥ 10:35pm Funky16Corners: @Chresti - The whole album is fantastic
	♥ 10:35pm ParUbi: Nice, that time works. Then I can tune over to the Blind Tourist right after
	10:35pm TDK60: ..how 'bout that Chresti?!
	♥ 10:36pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure next time you'll play the 26 (?) minute live version of rattlesnake shake, complete with a lude introduction by Peter Green!
	♥ 10:36pm Franco Twinkie: Stand up was under the Christmas tree 50 years ago! Along with Four Sail by Love, Led Zeppelin 2, and Elephant Mountain by The Young Bloods.
	10:37pm rw: Thanks F16C! That's noon here. I might be catching bits in the car and occasionally from home but won't be able to catch it as regularly as I had at this time slot. Congrats on the new more civilized time, but I'll miss hanging here on Wednesdays!
	♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: and Franco scores!
	♥ 10:38pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Give Santa Claus a great big kiss!
	♥ 10:38pm Funky16Corners: @C - I wish I could play the video of FM playing it on Playboy After Dark!
	♥ 10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Hash pipe is out.
	10:39pm TDK60: Stand Up was a good album Franco. Remember the stand-up cardboard photo?
	10:39pm rw: Franco's memory kicks my memory's ass.
	♥ 10:39pm coelacanth∅: Larry i WILL look for that
	♥ 10:40pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ll stick with Maurice
	10:40pm Erica: I dug this song by the Animals.
	♥ 10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I sat outside with Santa yesterday. I will post a picture for my avatar.
	♥ 10:41pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - The Radiants version is one of my fave soul 45s but I dig the Action, too
	10:41pm Erica: I just realized, next week's Christmas show will be the last thyme (get it?) this show will air on Wednesday nights.
	♥ 10:42pm Funky16Corners: Yup!
	♥ 10:42pm coelacanth∅: i got stand up well-after it's release but it's one of my favorite 'tull albums
	♥ 10:43pm Matt from New Orleans: @Larry Did you hear The Action version first?
	♥ 10:44pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Yes I did, around 1984
	10:44pm TDK60: The Animals were groovy, baby. // Coel: I also like the "Benefit" album by J. Tull.
	10:44pm northguineahills: early gene clark!
	♥ 10:45pm Funky16Corners: NGH!
	♥ 10:46pm Matt from New Orleans: This song reminds me of the Tiny Toons Adventures bit with Plucky www.youtube.com...
	10:47pm Erica: Which one Matt? Going up? I loved that one as a kid.
	10:47pm TDK60: Fairport! Just saw a newish documentary on them recently; from 2017 (50th anniv.) One can find it on YouTube. A Brit TV film I think.
	♥ 10:48pm Matt from New Orleans: Elellator goes up Elellator goes down
	♥ 10:48pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I just watched that last week
	♥ 10:49pm coelacanth∅: TDK for sure...i love all 4 of the first jethro tull albums - and 4 later albums close behind them
	♥ 10:49pm chresti: Haha rw@10:39
	10:49pm Erica: I just found out about the short-lived Plucky Duck show a few days ago.
	♥ 10:49pm doctorjazz: Checking in, tuning in soon.
	10:49pm TDK60: Funky16Corners: It was moving.
	♥ 10:49pm chresti: Secret agent man..
	♥ 10:50pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - Yes it was, especially when they get to the van crash
	♥ 10:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:50pm northguineahills: Davy Graham is a fave of mine of brit (folk) scene....
	♥ 10:51pm Franco Twinkie: This is Virginia. My rockin' Santa Clause in between 1966 and 1972. Then I got a job to support my habit.
	10:51pm northguineahills: @TDK: I watched the doc last weekend, pretty damn awesome!
	10:52pm Erica: Speaking of Tiny Toons, I need to watch that Christmas special with Babs and Cher again.
	♥ 10:52pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - A fave of mine, too. A really unique talent
	10:53pm TDK60: Yes NGH. I'm even more of fan now. I went to their annual fest in Oxfordshire last year, an experience.
	10:54pm Dean: One of those tunes that manages to last. Recorded in Berkeley, perhaps?
	♥ 10:55pm Funky16Corners: Which song Dean?
	10:55pm northguineahills: lucky you, TDK! wait, I missed a discussion on Tiny Toons!!??
	10:56pm TDK60: Cool, Cornershop! Bring back the cool part of the '90s! // Gosh, this is an active comments board tonight, huh?
	♥ 10:57pm Matt from New Orleans: I was unaware that cornershop continued making music over the last 20 years.
	10:57pm northguineahills: could you imagine finding an Asha Bhosle 45???!!! (got plenty of Trojan Recs on 45 , just mentioned as I typed this)
	10:58pm TDK60: ..yeah NGH; I usually can't afford to get out of the country often, so that was a real treat.
	10:59pm northguineahills: weird, I didn't pick up on Cornershop until the early 2000s....
	10:59pm Erica: Never heard of this band until now honestly.
	♥ 11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: They were on MTV for a brief period in the early 90s
	♥ 11:00pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - This is a great album
	11:01pm northguineahills: That Cornershop should be played back to back w/ Macka B's "Never Played a 45" where he disses djs who have never played a 45 ( a good rocksteady/dancehall appropriation of the song)
	♥ 11:02pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Back when MTV used to show music videos?
	11:02pm TDK60: They got some attention on college radio in the '90s. Caught my attention with a cover of Norwegian Wood which fit with their UK-Indian-pop-rock thing.
	♥ 11:03pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - That's on this CD
	11:04pm rw: Who's singing on this track?
	11:04pm Dean: Cornershop's tribute to Asha, but has something gone awry?
	♥ 11:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Indeed Larry. I can’t remember what video it was that I associate with them.
	♥ 11:06pm Matt from New Orleans: It very well might be brimful and my timeline is off. I didn’t watch MTV by 97 so that’s what’s confusing me.
	♥ 11:06pm coelacanth∅: yeah this program includes my introduction to cornershop
	♥ 11:08pm ParUbi: I just discovered Cornershop! Tonight!
	11:09pm TDK60: Richard Thompson plays at the F.C. "Cropredy" fest every two or three years or so and also usually sits in with F.C. He wasn't there in 2018.
	♥ 11:10pm Funky16Corners: I got to see Thompson solo/acoustic a bunch of times, once sharing a bill with Iain Matthews but they didn't play together
	11:11pm Dean: I'm still not clear about that whole Ian versus Iain thing.
	♥ 11:12pm coelacanth∅: i think i stopped watching empty v by around 1985. don't know why it took me so long.
	♥ 11:12pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - He's the only one I've ever seen spell it that way
	♥ 11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: I liked Yo MTV Raps
	♥ 11:13pm Franco Twinkie: I tip my hat to Beck. To me, he represents the twilight charge out the door get my ears scrubbed.
	♥ 11:14pm ParUbi: It was 120 minutes for me, with that Dave guy. That wrapped up in the early nineties i think
	♥ 11:14pm coelacanth∅: when vh1 came along i really like the behind the music shows. that's about it.
	11:15pm Dean: Yeah, but sometimes. As for Beck, I'm not a fan. He's...whatever, bland, phoning it in. But among his first labels was Flipside. There's even a picture of him with his dad at the Masque way the hell back in the day. But I gotta insist, my band's shitty record was the first Flipside record.
	♥ 11:16pm Funky16Corners: I miss 120 Minutes and the IRS Cutting Edge
	♥ 11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Well Dean, You always can be counted on to yank the tablecloth.
	11:18pm TDK60: Franco, who's that with Aoxomoxoa?
	♥ 11:18pm Franco Twinkie: My mom.
	♥ 11:19pm Matt from New Orleans: Beck played at Columbia my freshman year not long after the first semester started. It was an outdoor show and not well attended. The album might not have caught fire yet.
	♥ 11:19pm doctorjazz: Love Richard Thompson, sweet him many times, acoustic, electric, and an all acoustic, all request show at The City Winery (everyone wrote 3 requests on slips of paper. They went into a bowl, and he picked them and played them. He had an assistant with a laptop who pulled up and printed out lyrics. It was great. He almost piglet off Solo guitar version of And Your Bird Can Sing!). Is love to get to the FP fair one year...
	♥ 11:20pm coelacanth∅: heh, i have to agree with Dean about Beck! though i do like some songs -particularly on sea change. ...talented for sure, but calculated, which would explain blandness.
	♥ 11:21pm Funky16Corners: I saw Beck twice, right as Loser was happening and then again when Odelay came out. Both times great.
	11:21pm TDK60: Franco: Ah..
	♥ 11:22pm Matt from New Orleans: The Scientology affiliation killed any minor interest in Beck I had. Now he denies ever having been a Scientologist.
	11:23pm TDK60: Cool old Mott T.H. Back when some rock bands had organists.
	♥ 11:23pm doctorjazz: Another Dylan wannabe.
	♥ 11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Beck is a rocker. Writes like a rocker. Sings like a rocker. Dresses like a rocker. I like rockers.
	♥ 11:24pm Funky16Corners: That first Mott album is amazing. Who else can make Sonny Bono sound like the Velvet Underground?
	♥ 11:25pm doctorjazz: Missed Beck until very recently, got Morning Phase. Definitely not a rocker on that one (but it's nice to fall asleep to)
	11:25pm TDK60: On the 1rst Mott album they had the nerve to open with an /instrumental/ version of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me." How hep is that?!
	♥ 11:26pm Matt from New Orleans: This show is flying by. Just looked up and saw it was 80+ minutes in.
	♥ 11:26pm coelacanth∅: well -i like "loser" a lot; but my favorite Beck song is the darkest, most somber song that i know of his. maybe because it seems more honest. (or, less disgenuine)
	♥ 11:27pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah, Beck grew up in my grandmas neighborhood. Ese is my homie, Y-Que?
	♥ 11:28pm Funky16Corners: When I saw Sir Doug with the Last Texas Blues Band he pulled this one out. Blew my mind.
	11:28pm northguineahills: I step away and miss Beck, consarnit! I read that he recently renounced Scientology....
	♥ 11:29pm Funky16Corners: he didn't renounce it as much as claim he was never in it
	♥ 11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Jorma!
	♥ 11:30pm doctorjazz: Great Airplane!
	11:31pm TDK60: Jorma Kaukonen still at it, with Jack Casady, Franco.
	11:31pm northguineahills: well, Beck was 'born' into Scientology....
	♥ 11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: Just like the Ribisi kids
	11:32pm Dean: He may very well be a rocker, but that's beside the point to me. He's an uninteresting rocker, boring, like, say, Steely Dan. Clever on occasion, but for the most part he brings nothing to the table. He just does his Beck thing, seems mostly not interested in music. For what it's worth, I level the same complaint against Springsteen, Neil Young, and a bazillion other generally respected musicians.
	♥ 11:33pm Funky16Corners: I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you on all of them...
	11:33pm TDK60: Golly Larry: This show is like sittin' round your living room, like in those days and talking about/listening to music.
	♥ 11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ll leave you to Dean, Dean.
	♥ 11:33pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - You nailed it!
	♥ 11:36pm doctorjazz: Rufus is cool... one of the few kids of music stars who is as good or better than his folks.
	♥ 11:36pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Yeah, I dig his old man, but he's SO different
	♥ 11:36pm doctorjazz: I think better...
	♥ 11:37pm Funky16Corners: Rufus also has one of those voices that I could listen to all day long. Just beautiful.
	11:37pm TDK60: ..drinkin' beer, passing the pipe, a communal music thing. The stereo wailing. People sitting in a circle, talking. "Listen to /this/ part! Right HERE!!"
	11:37pm Erica: Not for me sadly. Too soft for my taste.
	♥ 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Well Dean, that's the difference it appears between you and me.
	♥ 11:38pm Funky16Corners: That is EXACTLY the vibe I aspire to. Don't hit it all the time, but when I do...
	11:38pm Dean: I shall continue to Dean. I also happen not to enjoy Rufus's warbling. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy hearing him, as now, because I marvel that his purported singing actually gives people pleasure. What in the hell am I missing?
	♥ 11:38pm doctorjazz: Absolutely...just kills me that this kid of folkies had his rebellion by developing a love for OPERA!
	♥ 11:39pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - Think of it like pot. Something that gives many people sublime pleasure, yet you find anhedonic.
	♥ 11:40pm doctorjazz: Don't know, Dean, you seem to go for stuff I've never heard of mostly (and I listen to a lot of oddball stuff)
	11:41pm Dean: I of course think of it like that, except that I entirely accept that pot is a happy hedonic for many, many people. I just happen to think that much of that effect is placebo. Who cares?
	♥ 11:41pm chresti: I used to go to the cafe that Beck's mom owned, in the early nineties
	11:41pm northguineahills: @Larry: speaking of... inhales oh, the Lab! (Peng! is the only album I ever bothered to get autographed)
	11:42pm TDK60: can I touch you NGH?
	♥ 11:42pm Funky16Corners: I remember a period in the 90s when I listened to little else (new) music besides Stereolab and Flying Saucer Attack
	11:44pm northguineahills: (and I rarely partake, maybe once a month)
	11:44pm northguineahills: I have FSA in my car....(going through the Fs)
	11:44pm rw: ngh, are you stoned right now?
	11:45pm Mod Mokka Matti: Hello, timed it just right to hear Mlle. Sadier and Co.
	♥ 11:45pm Franco Twinkie: Three beautiful words - Flying Saucer Attack!
	♥ 11:45pm Funky16Corners: Hey MMM!
	11:46pm northguineahills: @rw: not quite, just buzzed enough (gotta sleep in about an hour)
	11:46pm TDK60: hah, curve ball Larry with the K.C.
	♥ 11:46pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I always keep some hidden in my mitt to throw the batters off
	11:47pm Mod Mokka Matti: Thanks for playing something from Stereolab - big fan going back to the mid 90s here.
	11:47pm rw: I don't know FSAttack. ngh, Nice place to be.
	♥ 11:47pm coelacanth∅: i love Rufus' warbling but it's too mellow for me most of the time. lots of artists fall into that category. total respect though.
	♥ 11:47pm Funky16Corners: @rw - I'll play some in the coming months
	11:47pm Dean: You all are gonna kill me, but I also don't like Belew. He's a meanderer.
	♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: The best part of this particular song is its meandering-ness...
	11:48pm TDK60: Stereolab were one of the bands that helped get into the '90s (as an older rocker) -also Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Bjork, PJ Harvey.
	♥ 11:48pm Franco Twinkie: My good friend Joaquin gifted Chresti and myself some hash he pressed last week. It opens the sky, makes me want to wash dishes, and dance.
	♥ 11:49pm coelacanth∅: crap. i agree with Dean again. what has become of me?
	11:50pm rw: Larry, in case I get distracted thank you for the show this evening! Always a pleasure. As I said, I'm going to miss Wednesday evenings but AM looking forward to Sam's show.
	11:50pm Dean: Should confess that lately I've been spinning wartime Furtwangler Bruckner and shit like that. Well, except for that Copperhead record this evening... Yeah, but Belew doesn't know how to make the best of a meander. (Nor does Fripp.) You can tell he's dying to be a rock 'n' roll star.
	11:50pm TDK60: really beautiful cut.
	♥ 11:51pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Thanks!
	♥ 11:51pm doctorjazz: I'll agree on the meandering as well. Radiohead-there's a band I triedto get into, OK Computer and the one after, but couldn't connect.
	11:51pm Erica: 9 minutes left already?
	♥ 11:51pm coelacanth∅: ...although - as with Beck, my displeasure is not for the same reasons.
	♥ 11:52pm doctorjazz: Liked what Tripp brought to the Roches 1st two albums.
	♥ 11:52pm doctorjazz: Tripp...
	11:52pm rw: Fripp and Eno stuff meandered nicely, I thought.
	♥ 11:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, night all.
	♥ 11:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. So the next Testify is on the 2nd.
	11:53pm Dean: Thank you, coel and doctorjazz. Radiohead is a perfect example of the "Huh?" effect. Somewhere in there is something we can agree exhibits talent? I don't hear it.
	11:53pm TDK60: Thanks Larry. See ya Franco & Chresti..NGH..
	♥ 11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Just when I think you're a complete twat, Dean you say Copperhead. Absolved.
	11:54pm Erica: No the next Testify is the Christmas show Matt. See you all on Christmas Day!
	♥ 11:54pm chresti: See ya TDK60.
	11:54pm Dean: Complete Twat was the name of my first band in high school. And my last.
	11:55pm northguineahills: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 11:56pm Matt from New Orleans: I was at that Beck show at the Roseland Larry.
	♥ 11:56pm doctorjazz: Time to put on Ethan Iverson and head off to sleep (he's really good...)
	♥ 11:56pm coelacanth∅: not with you on that one Dean. radiohead is one of my favorite bands. modern prog with passion and emotion, and immaculate instrumentation and immense imagination. i just wish they'd trade off vocals now & then.
	♥ 11:57pm chresti: Thanks Larry! Good double bill: Complete Twat with The Little Shits
	♥ 11:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry the Troc opened in 1870.
	11:57pm northguineahills: I'm w/ you coel, but it did take a long while (2000) until I got into them...
	♥ 11:58pm Franco Twinkie: As well as been a twat, you're a liar. The Complete Twats were from Texas and later became The Jefferson Airplane.
	11:58pm Dean: Love has pitched his mansion in the place of excrement.

	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Jeff Ash: Greetings, everyone, on this rather nippy Wisconsin evening!
	♥ 10:02pm Funky16Corners: TDK60!
	♥ 10:02pm Funky16Corners: Jeff! The cold is setting in here as well.
	♥ 10:02pm Matt from New Orleans: Weren’t they still technically CTA at this point
	10:03pm Kris Holmes: Freebird!!!!
	10:03pm Erica: Yes but for legal reasons they had to shorten the name Matt.
	10:03pm Erica: Pinball Wizard!
	♥ 10:03pm Funky16Corners: Hey Kris!
	10:04pm Erica: Sorry had to do it.
	10:05pm Kris Holmes: The only Chicago era I can stomach, first LP & 45 off it are all I keep filed
	♥ 10:05pm Funky16Corners: There's some great video of them at Tanglewood around this time and they cook.
	♥ 10:07pm Funky16Corners: Also dig the Astrud Gilberto version of this which is sublime.
	10:07pm Kris Holmes: Yeah they shredded live at this era while they were still hungry I’d expect
	10:08pm fleep: A most groovy good evening
	♥ 10:08pm Funky16Corners: The band was surprisingly small, as well. Just a four piece with a three piece horn section.
	♥ 10:09pm Funky16Corners: Hey Fleep!
	♥ 10:09pm ParUbi: This song is so zen
	10:09pm Erica: Flapping your fins to the tune eh Fleep?
	10:09pm TDK60: Donovan! with his flute Harold McNair.
	10:10pm TDK60: [player]
	♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: There's a great clip of Donovan playing it with Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66
	10:11pm Doug Schulkind: Impeachify!
	♥ 10:11pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doug!
	10:12pm Erica: Hahaha Doug. I wouldn't normally bring up politics here but I heard of Trump's impeachment too.
	♥ 10:12pm Funky16Corners: Go ahead and bring it up. Fuck that guy. I sat through a long string of old white guys with southern drawls lying all afternoon and into dinner.
	10:14pm Erica: Oh Larry, I can tell you hated him. You post hateful, yet funny insults to him on Twitter. Too hilarious.
	♥ 10:14pm ParUbi: See, I just can't sit through that-- they make my skin crawl, listening to them
	10:14pm TDK60: In the shifting images, the blue 'Where It's At' pamphlet is a 1960s leftist one possibly associated with SDS. One can see it more up close : digital.library.pitt.edu...
	♥ 10:14pm Matt from New Orleans: No longer Erica
	10:15pm Kris Holmes: El Goodo is one of my fave BS tracks
	10:15pm Erica: As of now Matt, no longer.
	♥ 10:15pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I got exiled from Twitter for my gadly-ery
	♥ 10:15pm Funky16Corners: @Kris - Mine too
	♥ 10:16pm Franco Twinkie: Right on Larry, burn the motherfucker to the ground! Now back to your regular programming.
	♥ 10:16pm Matt from New Orleans: I miss seeing Alex. He lived on the next block from my friend. He was a genuinely nice dude.
	♥ 10:16pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco!
	10:16pm TDK60: Impeachment is the least they can do. That guy should tried at The Hague.
	10:16pm Erica: Well now you never have to worry about that anymore Larry, at least for a while.
	10:17pm rw: Evening! I lost track. Is there a mountain or not?
	♥ 10:17pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	10:19pm TDK60: [be] my aging brain is going..
	♥ 10:19pm Franco Twinkie: I only saw Alex once, when he reconstituted Big Star. But once is better than not at all.
	♥ 10:19pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - I like to dream that my last salvo pushed the impeachment over the edge. My work is done.
	10:21pm rw: Oh! I was going to say something about impeachment but talking about Alex Chilton is more fun. I saw him in Huntington beach at that place with the grass on the walls.... Sam's something or other?
	♥ 10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I just meant in a literal neighborly sense Franco but I always enjoyed seeing him play in a backing band at the stomp over the years.
	10:21pm TDK60: ..wow, pulling out some old gems. This song is an Organasm!
	♥ 10:22pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - A burst of pure joy! One of my all time faves!
	10:23pm rw: Safari Sam's!
	♥ 10:24pm Funky16Corners: Go Garth!
	♥ 10:27pm chresti: This album was played often on the family music center by my older brother, in the early seventies-Big Pink.
	10:28pm Erica: What about New Year's Day night? No show?
	♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: hello
	10:30pm Dean: Three Dog Night does a decent take on Chest Fever.
	♥ 10:30pm Funky16Corners: That week I start my new shift, so the 2nd instead of the 1st
	♥ 10:30pm Funky16Corners: Hey C! Dean! Yes they do!
	10:31pm Erica: The Testify! move will mess up my own routine. Luckily there's the archives.
	♥ 10:31pm Funky16Corners: I will miss having you here!
	10:32pm rw: Okay, I wasn't listening closely enough. When is the new Testify!?
	10:32pm TDK60: This F.M. song is almost Savoy Brown-like; close UK blues rock bands they were at the time. Saw them both together at the Fillmore East.
	10:33pm rw: I mean, Where is the new Testify! at?
	♥ 10:33pm Matt from New Orleans: My flute dose of the day!
	♥ 10:33pm coelacanth∅: i knew the 3 dog night version years before i heard the original and always considered it one of the less noteworthy songs on it ain't easy. i wish i'd heard the band's version first. (even though i don't care for the band, in general, and 3 dog night was my favorite band when i was 7-8...after the beatles)
	♥ 10:33pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Thursdays 3PM Eastern to 5PM starting Jan 2
	10:34pm Dean: I saw "Savoy Brown" (scare quotes) in Anaheim c.1979. Might have opened for ELO?
	♥ 10:34pm chresti: That song is my favorite FM song
	♥ 10:35pm Funky16Corners: @Chresti - The whole album is fantastic
	♥ 10:35pm ParUbi: Nice, that time works. Then I can tune over to the Blind Tourist right after
	10:35pm TDK60: ..how 'bout that Chresti?!
	♥ 10:36pm coelacanth∅: i'm sure next time you'll play the 26 (?) minute live version of rattlesnake shake, complete with a lude introduction by Peter Green!
	♥ 10:36pm Franco Twinkie: Stand up was under the Christmas tree 50 years ago! Along with Four Sail by Love, Led Zeppelin 2, and Elephant Mountain by The Young Bloods.
	10:37pm rw: Thanks F16C! That's noon here. I might be catching bits in the car and occasionally from home but won't be able to catch it as regularly as I had at this time slot. Congrats on the new more civilized time, but I'll miss hanging here on Wednesdays!
	♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: and Franco scores!
	♥ 10:38pm Funky16Corners: @Franco - Give Santa Claus a great big kiss!
	♥ 10:38pm Funky16Corners: @C - I wish I could play the video of FM playing it on Playboy After Dark!
	♥ 10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Hash pipe is out.
	10:39pm TDK60: Stand Up was a good album Franco. Remember the stand-up cardboard photo?
	10:39pm rw: Franco's memory kicks my memory's ass.
	♥ 10:39pm coelacanth∅: Larry i WILL look for that
	♥ 10:40pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ll stick with Maurice
	10:40pm Erica: I dug this song by the Animals.
	♥ 10:40pm Franco Twinkie: I sat outside with Santa yesterday. I will post a picture for my avatar.
	♥ 10:41pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - The Radiants version is one of my fave soul 45s but I dig the Action, too
	10:41pm Erica: I just realized, next week's Christmas show will be the last thyme (get it?) this show will air on Wednesday nights.
	♥ 10:42pm Funky16Corners: Yup!
	♥ 10:42pm coelacanth∅: i got stand up well-after it's release but it's one of my favorite 'tull albums
	♥ 10:43pm Matt from New Orleans: @Larry Did you hear The Action version first?
	♥ 10:44pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Yes I did, around 1984
	10:44pm TDK60: The Animals were groovy, baby. // Coel: I also like the "Benefit" album by J. Tull.
	10:44pm northguineahills: early gene clark!
	♥ 10:45pm Funky16Corners: NGH!
	♥ 10:46pm Matt from New Orleans: This song reminds me of the Tiny Toons Adventures bit with Plucky www.youtube.com...
	10:47pm Erica: Which one Matt? Going up? I loved that one as a kid.
	10:47pm TDK60: Fairport! Just saw a newish documentary on them recently; from 2017 (50th anniv.) One can find it on YouTube. A Brit TV film I think.
	♥ 10:48pm Matt from New Orleans: Elellator goes up Elellator goes down
	♥ 10:48pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I just watched that last week
	♥ 10:49pm coelacanth∅: TDK for sure...i love all 4 of the first jethro tull albums - and 4 later albums close behind them
	♥ 10:49pm chresti: Haha rw@10:39
	10:49pm Erica: I just found out about the short-lived Plucky Duck show a few days ago.
	♥ 10:49pm doctorjazz: Checking in, tuning in soon.
	10:49pm TDK60: Funky16Corners: It was moving.
	♥ 10:49pm chresti: Secret agent man..
	♥ 10:50pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - Yes it was, especially when they get to the van crash
	♥ 10:50pm Funky16Corners: Hey Doc!
	10:50pm northguineahills: Davy Graham is a fave of mine of brit (folk) scene....
	♥ 10:51pm Franco Twinkie: This is Virginia. My rockin' Santa Clause in between 1966 and 1972. Then I got a job to support my habit.
	10:51pm northguineahills: @TDK: I watched the doc last weekend, pretty damn awesome!
	10:52pm Erica: Speaking of Tiny Toons, I need to watch that Christmas special with Babs and Cher again.
	♥ 10:52pm Funky16Corners: @NGH - A fave of mine, too. A really unique talent
	10:53pm TDK60: Yes NGH. I'm even more of fan now. I went to their annual fest in Oxfordshire last year, an experience.
	10:54pm Dean: One of those tunes that manages to last. Recorded in Berkeley, perhaps?
	♥ 10:55pm Funky16Corners: Which song Dean?
	10:55pm northguineahills: lucky you, TDK! wait, I missed a discussion on Tiny Toons!!??
	10:56pm TDK60: Cool, Cornershop! Bring back the cool part of the '90s! // Gosh, this is an active comments board tonight, huh?
	♥ 10:57pm Matt from New Orleans: I was unaware that cornershop continued making music over the last 20 years.
	10:57pm northguineahills: could you imagine finding an Asha Bhosle 45???!!! (got plenty of Trojan Recs on 45 , just mentioned as I typed this)
	10:58pm TDK60: ..yeah NGH; I usually can't afford to get out of the country often, so that was a real treat.
	10:59pm northguineahills: weird, I didn't pick up on Cornershop until the early 2000s....
	10:59pm Erica: Never heard of this band until now honestly.
	♥ 11:00pm Matt from New Orleans: They were on MTV for a brief period in the early 90s
	♥ 11:00pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - This is a great album
	11:01pm northguineahills: That Cornershop should be played back to back w/ Macka B's "Never Played a 45" where he disses djs who have never played a 45 ( a good rocksteady/dancehall appropriation of the song)
	♥ 11:02pm Funky16Corners: @Matt - Back when MTV used to show music videos?
	11:02pm TDK60: They got some attention on college radio in the '90s. Caught my attention with a cover of Norwegian Wood which fit with their UK-Indian-pop-rock thing.
	♥ 11:03pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - That's on this CD
	11:04pm rw: Who's singing on this track?
	11:04pm Dean: Cornershop's tribute to Asha, but has something gone awry?
	♥ 11:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Indeed Larry. I can’t remember what video it was that I associate with them.
	♥ 11:06pm Matt from New Orleans: It very well might be brimful and my timeline is off. I didn’t watch MTV by 97 so that’s what’s confusing me.
	♥ 11:06pm coelacanth∅: yeah this program includes my introduction to cornershop
	♥ 11:08pm ParUbi: I just discovered Cornershop! Tonight!
	11:09pm TDK60: Richard Thompson plays at the F.C. "Cropredy" fest every two or three years or so and also usually sits in with F.C. He wasn't there in 2018.
	♥ 11:10pm Funky16Corners: I got to see Thompson solo/acoustic a bunch of times, once sharing a bill with Iain Matthews but they didn't play together
	11:11pm Dean: I'm still not clear about that whole Ian versus Iain thing.
	♥ 11:12pm coelacanth∅: i think i stopped watching empty v by around 1985. don't know why it took me so long.
	♥ 11:12pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - He's the only one I've ever seen spell it that way
	♥ 11:13pm Matt from New Orleans: I liked Yo MTV Raps
	♥ 11:13pm Franco Twinkie: I tip my hat to Beck. To me, he represents the twilight charge out the door get my ears scrubbed.
	♥ 11:14pm ParUbi: It was 120 minutes for me, with that Dave guy. That wrapped up in the early nineties i think
	♥ 11:14pm coelacanth∅: when vh1 came along i really like the behind the music shows. that's about it.
	11:15pm Dean: Yeah, but sometimes. As for Beck, I'm not a fan. He's...whatever, bland, phoning it in. But among his first labels was Flipside. There's even a picture of him with his dad at the Masque way the hell back in the day. But I gotta insist, my band's shitty record was the first Flipside record.
	♥ 11:16pm Funky16Corners: I miss 120 Minutes and the IRS Cutting Edge
	♥ 11:17pm Franco Twinkie: Well Dean, You always can be counted on to yank the tablecloth.
	11:18pm TDK60: Franco, who's that with Aoxomoxoa?
	♥ 11:18pm Franco Twinkie: My mom.
	♥ 11:19pm Matt from New Orleans: Beck played at Columbia my freshman year not long after the first semester started. It was an outdoor show and not well attended. The album might not have caught fire yet.
	♥ 11:19pm doctorjazz: Love Richard Thompson, sweet him many times, acoustic, electric, and an all acoustic, all request show at The City Winery (everyone wrote 3 requests on slips of paper. They went into a bowl, and he picked them and played them. He had an assistant with a laptop who pulled up and printed out lyrics. It was great. He almost piglet off Solo guitar version of And Your Bird Can Sing!). Is love to get to the FP fair one year...
	♥ 11:20pm coelacanth∅: heh, i have to agree with Dean about Beck! though i do like some songs -particularly on sea change. ...talented for sure, but calculated, which would explain blandness.
	♥ 11:21pm Funky16Corners: I saw Beck twice, right as Loser was happening and then again when Odelay came out. Both times great.
	11:21pm TDK60: Franco: Ah..
	♥ 11:22pm Matt from New Orleans: The Scientology affiliation killed any minor interest in Beck I had. Now he denies ever having been a Scientologist.
	11:23pm TDK60: Cool old Mott T.H. Back when some rock bands had organists.
	♥ 11:23pm doctorjazz: Another Dylan wannabe.
	♥ 11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Beck is a rocker. Writes like a rocker. Sings like a rocker. Dresses like a rocker. I like rockers.
	♥ 11:24pm Funky16Corners: That first Mott album is amazing. Who else can make Sonny Bono sound like the Velvet Underground?
	♥ 11:25pm doctorjazz: Missed Beck until very recently, got Morning Phase. Definitely not a rocker on that one (but it's nice to fall asleep to)
	11:25pm TDK60: On the 1rst Mott album they had the nerve to open with an /instrumental/ version of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me." How hep is that?!
	♥ 11:26pm Matt from New Orleans: This show is flying by. Just looked up and saw it was 80+ minutes in.
	♥ 11:26pm coelacanth∅: well -i like "loser" a lot; but my favorite Beck song is the darkest, most somber song that i know of his. maybe because it seems more honest. (or, less disgenuine)
	♥ 11:27pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah, Beck grew up in my grandmas neighborhood. Ese is my homie, Y-Que?
	♥ 11:28pm Funky16Corners: When I saw Sir Doug with the Last Texas Blues Band he pulled this one out. Blew my mind.
	11:28pm northguineahills: I step away and miss Beck, consarnit! I read that he recently renounced Scientology....
	♥ 11:29pm Funky16Corners: he didn't renounce it as much as claim he was never in it
	♥ 11:30pm Franco Twinkie: Jorma!
	♥ 11:30pm doctorjazz: Great Airplane!
	11:31pm TDK60: Jorma Kaukonen still at it, with Jack Casady, Franco.
	11:31pm northguineahills: well, Beck was 'born' into Scientology....
	♥ 11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: Just like the Ribisi kids
	11:32pm Dean: He may very well be a rocker, but that's beside the point to me. He's an uninteresting rocker, boring, like, say, Steely Dan. Clever on occasion, but for the most part he brings nothing to the table. He just does his Beck thing, seems mostly not interested in music. For what it's worth, I level the same complaint against Springsteen, Neil Young, and a bazillion other generally respected musicians.
	♥ 11:33pm Funky16Corners: I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you on all of them...
	11:33pm TDK60: Golly Larry: This show is like sittin' round your living room, like in those days and talking about/listening to music.
	♥ 11:33pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ll leave you to Dean, Dean.
	♥ 11:33pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - You nailed it!
	♥ 11:36pm doctorjazz: Rufus is cool... one of the few kids of music stars who is as good or better than his folks.
	♥ 11:36pm Funky16Corners: @Doc - Yeah, I dig his old man, but he's SO different
	♥ 11:36pm doctorjazz: I think better...
	♥ 11:37pm Funky16Corners: Rufus also has one of those voices that I could listen to all day long. Just beautiful.
	11:37pm TDK60: ..drinkin' beer, passing the pipe, a communal music thing. The stereo wailing. People sitting in a circle, talking. "Listen to /this/ part! Right HERE!!"
	11:37pm Erica: Not for me sadly. Too soft for my taste.
	♥ 11:37pm Franco Twinkie: Well Dean, that's the difference it appears between you and me.
	♥ 11:38pm Funky16Corners: That is EXACTLY the vibe I aspire to. Don't hit it all the time, but when I do...
	11:38pm Dean: I shall continue to Dean. I also happen not to enjoy Rufus's warbling. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy hearing him, as now, because I marvel that his purported singing actually gives people pleasure. What in the hell am I missing?
	♥ 11:38pm doctorjazz: Absolutely...just kills me that this kid of folkies had his rebellion by developing a love for OPERA!
	♥ 11:39pm Funky16Corners: @Dean - Think of it like pot. Something that gives many people sublime pleasure, yet you find anhedonic.
	♥ 11:40pm doctorjazz: Don't know, Dean, you seem to go for stuff I've never heard of mostly (and I listen to a lot of oddball stuff)
	11:41pm Dean: I of course think of it like that, except that I entirely accept that pot is a happy hedonic for many, many people. I just happen to think that much of that effect is placebo. Who cares?
	♥ 11:41pm chresti: I used to go to the cafe that Beck's mom owned, in the early nineties
	11:41pm northguineahills: @Larry: speaking of... inhales oh, the Lab! (Peng! is the only album I ever bothered to get autographed)
	11:42pm TDK60: can I touch you NGH?
	♥ 11:42pm Funky16Corners: I remember a period in the 90s when I listened to little else (new) music besides Stereolab and Flying Saucer Attack
	11:44pm northguineahills: (and I rarely partake, maybe once a month)
	11:44pm northguineahills: I have FSA in my car....(going through the Fs)
	11:44pm rw: ngh, are you stoned right now?
	11:45pm Mod Mokka Matti: Hello, timed it just right to hear Mlle. Sadier and Co.
	♥ 11:45pm Franco Twinkie: Three beautiful words - Flying Saucer Attack!
	♥ 11:45pm Funky16Corners: Hey MMM!
	11:46pm northguineahills: @rw: not quite, just buzzed enough (gotta sleep in about an hour)
	11:46pm TDK60: hah, curve ball Larry with the K.C.
	♥ 11:46pm Funky16Corners: @TDK60 - I always keep some hidden in my mitt to throw the batters off
	11:47pm Mod Mokka Matti: Thanks for playing something from Stereolab - big fan going back to the mid 90s here.
	11:47pm rw: I don't know FSAttack. ngh, Nice place to be.
	♥ 11:47pm coelacanth∅: i love Rufus' warbling but it's too mellow for me most of the time. lots of artists fall into that category. total respect though.
	♥ 11:47pm Funky16Corners: @rw - I'll play some in the coming months
	11:47pm Dean: You all are gonna kill me, but I also don't like Belew. He's a meanderer.
	♥ 11:48pm Funky16Corners: The best part of this particular song is its meandering-ness...
	11:48pm TDK60: Stereolab were one of the bands that helped get into the '90s (as an older rocker) -also Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Bjork, PJ Harvey.
	♥ 11:48pm Franco Twinkie: My good friend Joaquin gifted Chresti and myself some hash he pressed last week. It opens the sky, makes me want to wash dishes, and dance.
	♥ 11:49pm coelacanth∅: crap. i agree with Dean again. what has become of me?
	11:50pm rw: Larry, in case I get distracted thank you for the show this evening! Always a pleasure. As I said, I'm going to miss Wednesday evenings but AM looking forward to Sam's show.
	11:50pm Dean: Should confess that lately I've been spinning wartime Furtwangler Bruckner and shit like that. Well, except for that Copperhead record this evening... Yeah, but Belew doesn't know how to make the best of a meander. (Nor does Fripp.) You can tell he's dying to be a rock 'n' roll star.
	11:50pm TDK60: really beautiful cut.
	♥ 11:51pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Thanks!
	♥ 11:51pm doctorjazz: I'll agree on the meandering as well. Radiohead-there's a band I triedto get into, OK Computer and the one after, but couldn't connect.
	11:51pm Erica: 9 minutes left already?
	♥ 11:51pm coelacanth∅: ...although - as with Beck, my displeasure is not for the same reasons.
	♥ 11:52pm doctorjazz: Liked what Tripp brought to the Roches 1st two albums.
	♥ 11:52pm doctorjazz: Tripp...
	11:52pm rw: Fripp and Eno stuff meandered nicely, I thought.
	♥ 11:52pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Larry, night all.
	♥ 11:53pm Matt from New Orleans: Thanks Larry. So the next Testify is on the 2nd.
	11:53pm Dean: Thank you, coel and doctorjazz. Radiohead is a perfect example of the "Huh?" effect. Somewhere in there is something we can agree exhibits talent? I don't hear it.
	11:53pm TDK60: Thanks Larry. See ya Franco & Chresti..NGH..
	♥ 11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Just when I think you're a complete twat, Dean you say Copperhead. Absolved.
	11:54pm Erica: No the next Testify is the Christmas show Matt. See you all on Christmas Day!
	♥ 11:54pm chresti: See ya TDK60.
	11:54pm Dean: Complete Twat was the name of my first band in high school. And my last.
	11:55pm northguineahills: Thanks, Larry!
	♥ 11:56pm Matt from New Orleans: I was at that Beck show at the Roseland Larry.
	♥ 11:56pm doctorjazz: Time to put on Ethan Iverson and head off to sleep (he's really good...)
	♥ 11:56pm coelacanth∅: not with you on that one Dean. radiohead is one of my favorite bands. modern prog with passion and emotion, and immaculate instrumentation and immense imagination. i just wish they'd trade off vocals now & then.
	♥ 11:57pm chresti: Thanks Larry! Good double bill: Complete Twat with The Little Shits
	♥ 11:57pm Matt from New Orleans: Larry the Troc opened in 1870.
	11:57pm northguineahills: I'm w/ you coel, but it did take a long while (2000) until I got into them...
	♥ 11:58pm Franco Twinkie: As well as been a twat, you're a liar. The Complete Twats were from Texas and later became The Jefferson Airplane.
	11:58pm Dean: Love has pitched his mansion in the place of excrement.
	♥ 11:58pm coelacanth∅: ngh me too. kid a was my breakthrough.
	11:58pm Mod Mokka Matti: Thank you, Mr. Grogan. Hopefully I'll time my dog walk better next time so I can catch more of the show...looking forward to some goodies then!
	11:58pm Erica: See ya Larry! Enjoy your Christmakkauh!
	♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks everyone!
	♥ 11:59pm coelacanth∅: lovely program Larry Thanks!
	♥ 11:59pm Franco Twinkie: Party on you fuckers!
	11:59pm rw: THXF16C!! Good night everyone!
	♥ 11:59pm Funky16Corners: Thanks C!
	♥ 12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite all!
	♥ 12:00am coelacanth∅: g'night everyone. - wait, could i just hit that pipe before heading out?
