	10:01pm steveL: Nice changeover!
	10:02pm JakeGould: Hey!
	10:04pm Aitch: Tom and then sv, with a Nick the Bard flourish after, what a run.
	10:05pm Uncle Michael: I do not know Circle. This is terrific.
	10:05pm TomDash: Good evening, folks! Thanks for tuning in on my last show on the year! "Psyched" to be filling in for the Avant Ghetto!
	10:06pm TomDash: Uncle Michael - space/prog/motorik band from Finland...amazing stuff
	10:07pm ParUbi: Hi Tom, hey everyone
	10:09pm TDK60: Hello. let the olde year roll..
	10:11pm JakeGould: @Aitch: This is morning for you, right?
	10:14pm Aitch: 2:15 PM Monday. Still burning.
	10:15pm Carmichael: Heya Tom. I guess Circle is not Cyrkle.
	10:15pm JakeGould: Hope you are Australia’s adorable wildlife the best!
	10:16pm TomDash: Hey Carmichael - nope! Circle started in the 90s...mostly instrumental long jams....
	10:18pm Carmichael: Like way opposite.
	10:24pm Mike Wolf: macroblot sunday, dig it
	10:24pm TomDash: Hey Mike - trying to keep the quest going in Jeff's absence!
	10:27pm steveL: Eno May have scored some blow before this gig. I’m okay with that.
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: hey Tom and all
	10:28pm Carmichael: Maybe during
	10:28pm TomDash: Ha steveL - I'm fine with that too..hey coelacantho, welcome...
	10:29pm Sarah: Oh yes, it is Tom Dash, back!✨
	10:30pm choggie: Muzak to heroin by
	10:30pm steveL: Eeeeeeeeeeee!
	10:30pm TDK60: that Eno concert in '74, they had their vitamins.
	10:32pm choggie: Juanita and Juaaaaaaan!
	10:32pm TomDash: Hey Sarah...happy to be filling in, I also have a show on the schedule, Wednesdays 12-3AM (late Tuesdays) - taking off NYE, but I'll be back on Jan. 8th...
	10:36pm Aitch: Strong vitamins indeed. OK if there's no Dead tonight Tom. On a previous planet Jeff had two shows, one entirely Dead based, the other called Just Music - not unlike Marcel's What Was Music, was the one I preferred.
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: i've always thought that Brian Eno was a mostly abstainer of drugs, and that part of the reason he didn't want to tour with roxy music (and beyond) was that he didn't want to treat his body so poorly. maybe i'm mistaken; but then there's no reason to assume coke or any drug at all was necessary to perform in an unusually energetic way.
	10:38pm TomDash: Aitch...I LOVE the Dead (60s and 70s), but I will not be playing any this eve...
	10:39pm choggie: TY Tom Dash for no dead, thank you.
	10:40pm steveL: Fish: Well said. He does look pretty healthy these days.
	10:40pm coelacanth∅: steveL i hope he outlives me
	10:41pm Aitch: I don't hate the Dead by any means, but don't need hours of it. Hell though I'm a Ween fan so what would I know??
	10:42pm JakeGould: Well, Vaughn Oliver (the house design at 4AD) passed away today. Wonder if there are any extended 4AD tracks that would fit in this show.
	10:43pm steveL: Fish: He May be an alien, so that could work out!
	10:43pm Dr. Goot: cdn11.bigcommerce.com...
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: i like more pre-1978 'dead than that i don't like; and, in true non-deadhead fashion very much prefer the studio albums. ...and i like ween
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: steveL shhh...he thinks we don't know
	10:45pm anny: Hi Tom...id like to wish Marianne Faithfull a happy birthday...any way you could pick one of your favs...thanks from London
	10:46pm Dean: Let me promote a label/record store in Portland, Oregon, Beacon Sounds. Some marvelous electronically treated noodling. Was there the day after Christmas. Love the Dead. Ween? Really? People like them? Eno and Pere Ubu I dismiss entirely. To my ear, zero talent.
	10:46pm JakeGould: @coelacanth: Sounds similar to Walter de Maria who was drummer for Lou Reed and John Cale’s pre-Velvet Underground band before he decided to ditch the rock life for art: “I said to myself, do I want to go to rehearsal every day and every night, you know, take all these drugs?” www.independent.co.uk...
	10:47pm TDK60: I like Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Vaughan Williams too.
	10:47pm Dean: On the money, TDK60. QMS and RVW...can't lose!
	10:50pm Jerry: dean...what's your bands name...maybe Zero Effort
	10:52pm Dean: So many bands, so many names.
	10:54pm TDK60: ..great wintery tune; woulda liked to be that bassist, letting go..
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: was that not Cale?
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: ...i think it was Cale, but wikipedia just says "arrangements: John Cale"
	10:58pm steveL: He produced, so, probably yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marble_Index
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: made me get the album out, cd reissue: "Nico: vocals, harmonium; John Cale: electric viola, piano, bass, electric guitar, glockenspiel, bells, mouth organ, bosun's pipe"
	11:13pm TomDash: Yeah coelacantho - Cale stayed close with Nico and arranged most of her solo LPs up until "The End" I believe. Such beautiful music when the 2 of them collaborated
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: Jake it's funny how in that article it says "forsook a career with the velvet underground" - when velvet underground really didn't have much of a career! ...i guess it's easy for people now who only know of the band as "influential" or "ahead of it's time" to neglect that hardly anyone liked VU at the time.
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: i agree Tom...and i really don't like her singing much - but those arrangements; and the haunting quality of her voice was perfect for it (and her lyrics, obviously)
	11:28pm JakeGould: @coelacanth∅: Yeah, the way things are portrayed are always “coulda, shoulda, woulda” because — let’s face it — even the most accurate music and art writing is still gossip. Nobody wants to really read about an artist as much as experience the art. But I do like the choice between doing drugs and never having a decent day-life versus anything else.
	11:33pm Dean: "Nobody wants to really read about an artist as much as experience the art." Beg to disagree. Walter Pater writes about, and I read about, artists. His work is an example of aboutness being an art in and of itself.
	11:35pm JakeGould: Let this mark the first time someone on the Internet has disagreed with someone else.
	11:36pm Dean: I disagree. This is 14,272nd time somebody has disagreed.
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: Dean does that figure include the post in which that figure is stated, or not?
	11:39pm Dean: Fucking indexicals.
	11:45pm TomDash: alright folks, wrapping up here pretty soon...Happy New Year to you all! I will be back on my show (DotDash Radio) Wednesday January 8th (late Tuesday night) 12-3AM. Have a great NYE and see ya on the other side!
	11:50pm Mike Wolf: good one Tom!
	11:50pm TomDash: Thanks Mike!
	11:56pm TomDash: See ya next year, folks! Out...
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: ah, and a moment of the boredoms i missed before.
	11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Tom. Enjoy your New Year festivities!
	11:57pm ignatatus666: Excelllent playlist!!!! I’ll be hitting this archive again tonight! Just made my last 2 hours a breeze in crappy road conditions Happy New Year and Yuletide Blessings
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tom! have a good new year celebration (or whatever) take care y'all
	11:51am Kasey00: I was confused last Wednesday during Circle Time's fill-in because I was confused and thought Circle Time was taking this timeslot tonight on vidmate.bet...
