	9:18pm chresti ->SF: We’re in the Blumin sanctuary

	9:20pm JakeGould: Mogen David 20/20
	9:20pm OlympusMons: volcanic fusion´
	9:20pm TDK60: ..yeh, never mind all that calendar stuff, what's /now/ daddio?
	9:20pm George of Troy: Daniel! Happy New Year to ya!
	9:23pm ultradamno: Calendars are where Norman Rockwell pictures go to die.
	9:24pm JakeGould: I remember being so impressed with Normal Rockwell as a kid. Now as an adult? I just see a culture I don’t get.
	9:26pm chresti ->SF: Yeah, forget calendars, it’s the future
	9:26pm Michael 98145: NR was a world the post-war US of A was trying to fabricate.
	🌫 9:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Was it Norman's son or nephew who performed "Somebody's Watching Me"?
	9:27pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks, George! backatcha!
	9:28pm JakeGould: Maybe Rockwell was so freaked out by this old white-guy painter following him around?
	9:28pm ultradamno: This one's terrifying though twitter.com...
	9:29pm ultradamno: Those kids ate that guy, true story.
	9:29pm Robert Tables: Happy new year!
	9:29pm JakeGould: All these WASPy folks with full families and homes and cheeky wholesome nonsense. Blah!
	9:29pm ultradamno: I guess it's just the one...she probably had friends
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: it's okay, they cooked him first.
	9:31pm ultradamno: Another one with a little girl holding something up to a fancy man, was that a theme? twitter.com...
	9:31pm Daniel Blumin: Robert Tables, many thanks and same to yous!!!
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: i always thought norman rockwell paintings sucked; but now they repulse me!
	9:34pm Michael 98145: few things Orcs like more than raw longpig.
	9:35pm TDK60: I'm going out to the deli, anyone want something? ...
	9:36pm chresti ->SF: I always get a queasy feeling, like I’m about to get a tooth pulled, whenever I see N Rockwell calendars
	9:36pm ultradamno: Did he ever paint one where a psychopath started the apocalypse on a whim? Because that would be timely.
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: eggnog. Thanks
	9:37pm Hubig Pie: Goin' to the deli? Some chopped liver and a sliver of apple pie
	9:37pm Michael 98145: wasn't Pastor Pence in those calendars?
	9:37pm ultradamno: Norman Rockwell dentist patient, ready for queasing i.pinimg.com...
	9:38pm mariano: @ultradamno: on the Twitter link I only get a dark rectangle fyi. Or am I having a "whoosh!" moment?
	9:38pm TDK60: Coel: sad to report, all my places are out of eggnog. Be back in ten min with corn chips, yogurt. You all work on that fresh 2020 slang...
	9:38pm JakeGould: I’m first generation American, so it took me a while to realize almost all of my teen social pressures had som WASPy aspect to it. Now paint me a picture of Norman Rockwell vaping on a hoverboard!
	9:39pm coelacanth∅: TDK do they have norman rockwell calendars?
	9:39pm ultradamno: @mariano Maybe try again. They're definitely there.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: never mind just get me a murphy's law calendar.
	🌫 9:40pm chresti: TDK60, some seltzer water, thanks
	9:40pm listener 126464: lurkahing
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: TDK you wanna borrow my shopping cart? well, not really my shopping cart...
	🌫 9:41pm Heavy Chevy: Prayers up for Vaughan Oliver.
	9:42pm JakeGould: Welp! I am genuinely saddened by Vaughn Oliver and Syd Mead passing away the same week.
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: bummer. rest in peace Mr. Oliver.
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: let's look on the bright side though; don imus died!
	9:44pm ultradamno: There is a cure for calendars www.strangewaysradio.com...
	9:45pm JakeGould: I never understood the appeal of Imus.
	9:46pm ultradamno: I'm still a little surprised, considering how many second chances he got, Don Imus hasn't been resurrected and sat back in front of a microphone to go on slowly intoning how little he cares about it.
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: i think it's mostly the same fools who like ronald mcdonald trump. (...like my sweet dear mother)
	9:47pm ultradamno: My whole experience of Imus was that weird period that MSNBC would air him while doing his radio show on tv every morning. That was weird.
	9:47pm Michael 98145: @coel, sorry. may we live long enough to see that clown forgotten by history.
	9:48pm Michael 98145: enjoying this show, btw
	9:48pm ultradamno: ...and he was a barely sentient cadaver in a stupid cowboy hat back then.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: i think his (their) popularity boils down to this: for some folks, a little bigotry goes a long way.
	🌫 9:50pm chresti: And his middle name is Donald-Imus
	9:51pm mariano: Ah, got it now @ultradamno, thanks! This reminds me of a Letterman Top 10 list from the 80s, "Top 10 Least Known Norman Rockwell Paintings" including "A Boy's First Manicure", "The Sweetheart of the Cell Block", and my favorite, "Bad Clams".
	9:52pm JakeGould: In the early 1980s I was into Howard Stern on 66 WABC in NYC. Imus was on too. Utterly nobody I knew in JHS liked Imus. Only one person: A classmate that was a very 1980s proto hipster named Anne. Wore a denim jacket filled with patches. She would yell at us about how she met Don Imus once and then would get all hyper and spastic and then would have to be taken to the school nurse. I miss Anne. I don’t miss Imus.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: good old Anne. she was just confused that's all.
	9:57pm ultradamno: Sounds like the one kid I knew in junior high who loved bagpipe music. Had to love his individual path, but kind of wanted him to keep it to himself.
	9:58pm TDK60: Okay, back from the bodega. This music is /happenin'/ DB.
	10:00pm mariano: I was a kid in junior high who loved bagpipe music! But you bet your ass I kept it to myself, didn't need to give the jocks another reason to fuck with me lol.
	10:06pm Hubig Pie: What bagpipe music ? Marches , reels , strathspeys ? Jigs or piobaireachd ?
	10:07pm ultradamno: Would it be wrong for me to mention my favorite 4AD album cover is Junkyard?
	10:07pm listener 126464: piper down!
	10:08pm melinda: hi everyone! wunderschnapps!
	10:09pm mariano: I was really into Scottish folk music, and my grandfather was a big music nerd like me, so he made me a mixtape, the best part of which was a 1974 Nat'l Geographic album, most of it field rather than studio recording, called The Music of Scotland. Has some great stuff. Not too many bagpipes on that album, however, though Grandpa did put a good bit of that on there as well.
	10:10pm mariano: www.discogs.com...
	10:10pm ultradamno: @Hubig I don't know if he specialized that far. I know there were a lot of albums marketed as "bagpipe music" in his collection. I always just assumed it all was categorized as 'torture tools".
	10:11pm JakeGould: I think the first 4AD cover I ever saw was the Cocteau Twins “Garlands” at Record Runner on Jones Street in the West Village. Wanted to buy it, but it was a pricey import CD. But what a weird, bleak and intriguing cover.
	10:12pm ultradamno: @mariano Yeah, that's the stuff. Lot of covers with gangs of dudes in kilts.
	10:12pm melinda: @mariano that sounds cool. We had some National Geographic albums of mostly field recordings I remember fondly, Ozark music and sea shanties. They put out some good stuff.
	10:12pm chresti ->SF: Cool grandpa, mariano. My grandpa would bring us musical instruments and Navaho rugs
	10:12pm mariano: @ultradamno: you would've hated my cousin's Christmas party then. Her husband's born-and-raised Manhattan Irish, and plays the bagpipe really well, did a medley of Christmas carols. Didn't realize how loud those things are indoors!
	10:13pm mariano: @melinda: Really? That's awesome, didn't know there were others, though of course it makes total sense. Gonna look for those, thanks!
	10:13pm Michael 98145: i was probably the only person in the family who ever cared about music.. and here i am.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: Michael 98145 i just realised i might've misunderstood your comment... and i see that i did! so hear hear - cheers!
	10:13pm listener 126464: Dark Day tip- Robin Crutchfield has a weekly internet radio show at luxuriamusic.com on Mondays
	10:14pm ParUbi: Hello everyone
	10:14pm TDK60: Never heard of those NatGeo samplers..
	10:14pm ultradamno: @Jake That's a good one, Head Over Heels is great too, and graphically a really good example of the 4AD's abstract aesthetic.
	10:15pm JakeGould: That said, I can barely remember any actual Cocteau Twins track names. Even the ones I like! It’s all gobbledygook to me! Maybe that’s a truck name?
	10:15pm Michael 98145: @coel, i still hope he truly will be forgotten by history.
	10:15pm melinda: @TDK60 they had good photos and text, too, as you might imagine. Worth seeking out.
	10:16pm TDK60: Jake its possible the overall Cocteau sound was more intended as the thing that made that work? ...
	10:16pm ultradamno: @ listener 126464 Neat. I'll have to look into that. Zoviet France have a show on Resonance (formerly Basic FM, or maybe the other way around) called A Duck In A Tree. It's available as a podcast. Good stuff.
	10:17pm JakeGould: Yup! Warbling nonsense over nice guitar flanging.
	10:18pm mariano: Here they are, the other Nat Geo albums: www.discogs.com... www.discogs.com...
	10:18pm melinda: In the Nat Geo Ozark album there was a group photo of the musicians and I thought one of them was my grandfather because he wore a similar cowboy hat and glasses, never mind that he was not known to play any instruments and lived in Texas. It's funny how a young child's mind works.
	10:20pm ultradamno: I always thought early CTs were going for a delirious Banshees kind of thing, evidently they were also really into the Birthday Party.
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: haha ...my grandpa's famous, see?!
	10:21pm melinda: @coel right!
	10:21pm Daniel Blumin: listener 126464, happy lurkahing and thx fer the tip! Amen, Heavy Heavy! Thanks, Michael 98145 & TDK! JakeG, that's a great cover fer sure! Ditto, ultrad. And a fine tip there, tooo!
	10:21pm Tome: Happy 2020 Daniel and all !!<>! this is almost like Cortez The Killer , but different key I'm guessing like it !<>!
	🌫 10:22pm Heavy Chevy: Lush cover art (spooky and gala) and all the cocteau's esp HoLV and so many more. He captured the micro/macro thing in shimmering detail. RIP
	10:22pm TDK60: I get the title to this album, hehheh.
	10:22pm ultradamno: Music of the Ozarks sounds intriguing, who doesn't love some good musical bow work (or even better non-musical bow)
	10:22pm Daniel Blumin: JakeG, c'mon, can't forget Musette and Drums, now can ye?
	10:22pm Daniel Blumin: Tome! Happy 2020 to you, too!
	10:23pm ultradamno: ...musical bowed saw, that is.
	10:24pm ec: who would have every guessed that this would be the sound of new haven
	10:25pm melinda: @ultra-d there is good jaw harp as well
	10:27pm ParUbi: tonight, i'm using your show as a soundtrack to the Man with X-Ray Eyes
	10:28pm mariano: Speaking of Ozarks, I finally got around to watching most of the Ken Burns country documentary series. Really interesting.
	10:28pm Chop Scott: Cheers Brother Daniel! Listening in the nest tonight.
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: ParUbi, hopefully it'll work out just fine in the end! Hola, ec! Welcome!
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: Hiya, melinda!
	10:30pm ultradamno: Robin Crutchfield - Dark Day Escape Pod www.luxuriamusic.com...
	10:31pm ultradamno: zovietfrance.podbean.com
	10:32pm ParUbi: yay! zoviet france and a duck in a tree! i had a track on the show once!
	10:32pm ec: that Amundsen trip is quite the expedition
	10:32pm JakeGould: “Musette and Drums?” What’s that? A new British cafe or something?
	10:33pm TDK60: Hey it's a Henry K guitar.
	10:33pm mariano: Sea shanty album all on YouTube, if I can risk a wedgie: www.youtube.com...
	10:36pm ultradamno: @ParUbi I may have heard it. At my current rate, I may be all caught up in a year or two.
	10:36pm coelacanth∅: you just wait till lunchtime!
	10:37pm mariano: @coelacanth∅: Eeeeep!
	10:37pm JakeGould: The tracks on “Treasure” are headache inducing because they are just weird names. • Ivo • Lorelei • Beatrix • Persephone • Yoda • Pandora (For Cindy) • Amelia • Aloysius • Putin • Cicely • Otterly • Donimo
	10:38pm ParUbi: It's a good show. I think it was this one-- soundcloud.com...
	10:40pm ultradamno: I think that last one is a Roy Orbison cover, pretty rockin'
	10:40pm JakeGould: And then “Victorialand” is like a joke: • Lazy Calm • Fluffy Tufts • Throughout The Dark Months Of April And May • Baby Yoda • Whales Tails • Oomingmak • Little Spacey • Wet Willie • Feet-Like Fins • How To Bring A Blush To The Snow • The Thinner The Air • Cottontail Sail
	10:41pm listener 126464: yeah Henry K!
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: mariano yeah -lunchtime maaan. play your bagpipes and i'll buy your lunch!
	10:42pm mariano: Whew, really dodged a bullet there!
	10:43pm JakeGould: At least Brian Eno just labels track 1 as “1”
	10:43pm mariano: Found this on Vimeo, Arctic Dreamtime: vimeo.com...
	10:46pm ultradamno: 4 Years ago? Maybe, the older ones I'm working on at this point are from June '15 through early '16. My favorite Cocteau Twins title is Peppermint Pig, that one always makes me cry.
	10:46pm Daniel Blumin: Cheers, El Choppo!
	10:47pm Daniel Blumin: JakeG, it's a Cocteaus trk! One of my faves from the early ears...
	10:48pm Daniel Blumin: Here be that V Oliver interview - abcdefghijklmn-pqrstuvwxyz.com...
	10:50pm melinda: @mariano years ago when the store I work in had only a cassette player for music I played my tape of the sea shanties during cruise ship tourist season, for maximum maritime ambience. I don't know if anyone noticed.
	10:51pm ultradamno: Any Cocteau Twins past Treasure kind of loses me.
	10:52pm ParUbi: I can look this up, it was around 6/20/2015. I reupped the track around then because of all the excitement.
	10:53pm ultradamno: Except Moon and the Melodies, I guess. Though that's exactly a Cocteau Twins release even though they're all on it.
	10:54pm mariano: @ultradamno: for me it's Blue Bell Knoll or Carolyn's Fingers. But I love all of them. @melina: Hah, that's great! What kind of store was it?
	10:54pm ultradamno: NOT exactly..meant to say
	10:56pm mariano: *@melinda... sorry for the typo!
	10:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello Dan, hello all! I've been in hospital for the better part of a week with me dad who suffered a stroke. What a range of emotions and a cause for exhaustion. I just settled in after the final correspondence for the night...and I get some SWANS! Just what the doctor ordered. Thanks, Dan!
	11:00pm melinda: mariano it's a leather goods store, mostly handbags.
	11:01pm TDK60: Sorry to hear Mr Pumpy, difficult times for you.
	11:02pm JakeGould: @MrPumpy: I literally know that feeling. Spent a lot of time with my mom and dad bedside early in life. Be strong and don’t take care of yourself.
	11:03pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks for the words everyone...and thanks for the shout out, Dan. Much appreciated!
	11:04pm mariano: @Mr. Pumpy: really sorry to hear, been there myself.
	11:06pm ParUbi: Loved Parasite
	11:06pm ultradamno: Peaches are versatile.
	11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: My heart goes out to all of you that know this type of situation. It's horrible.
	11:11pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jake & mariano...It's one those things wherein sleep is the only escape, yet I wake up and soon remember, while still in bed, and quickly get that nauseous feeling. I should say sleep is mostly an escape, but last night I dreamt about being there in the hospital room. Such is life...I guess. Again...these words of support from Dan and some listeners are not taken for granted...and I thank you.
	11:12pm TDK60: good music to watusi out of office to..
	11:12pm chresti ->SF: This is the bomb of a song!
	11:14pm Nicule: Anyone else feeling pretty lost post Phish NY run?
	11:15pm TDK60: Must say night, thanks Daniel and radio-ears.
	11:17pm ParUbi: Goodnight, TDK60!
	11:19pm Nicule: Sorry about your pops, Mr. Pumpy. Hoping hard for both of you.
	11:20pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks fer the new year earses, TDK! Nicule, welcome!
	11:23pm ParUbi: That's a tough one. My own father is getting up there and has already had a few falls.
	11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Nicule. Much appreciated.
	11:23pm mariano: @Mr Pumpy: It's a lot like a physical injury, and it requires rest and downtime to get better. Family and friends were really great with me, always there but always giving me my space as well. Let the people in your life hold you up. Good night, @TDK60.
	11:23pm Nicule: Hello, from the bath.
	11:23pm OIOIO: Mr. Pumpy >love&power
	11:23pm ally: daniel...many of your selections are a great representation of the best this year...a few of my favorites were the 10 cassette anthology...on corrosion...also the eighth tower label collection...witchcraft and black magic in the uk...I look forward to your show each week...thanks
	11:25pm Daniel Blumin: ally! That's lovely to hear! Thank you! Are you listening in the UK?

	11:32pm Billy Jam: finally tuning in + to what a killer track this Bandage is
	11:34pm Daniel Blumin: Glad you dig, Billy Jam! Trying to summon up the tanzen und blitzen!
	11:36pm ultradamno: Oh, honest to god, that's the next one I've got queued up (usually when there's a new one I listen to it end on end with an old one I've got downloaded)! I'll be paying particular attention.
	11:38pm ParUbi: it's "white christmas"-- enjoy!
	11:41pm mariano: @ally: Just checked out that Eighth Tower comp, loved what little bit I heard, looking forward to the rest.
	11:47pm ally: thanks daniel...also really enjoyed loula yorke...ldols...visiting family in the states...but reside in London area...I dislike the cliche brilliant that you hear way too much....your beaming...
	11:51pm moontana: shxcxchcxsh is rather soothing to the c.txhtotllclth
	11:51pm chresti ->SF: Motor fancy pants!
	11:52pm ultradamno: This is making me want to put on Test Dept.
	11:52pm chresti ->SF: I meant dancy (stupid phone)
	11:52pm ParUbi: Shxchxchxsh has became synonymous!
	🌫 11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Daniel. Hang in there, Mr. Pumpy.
	11:55pm ultradamno: Reminds me of Mr. Yuk vibrantvictoria.ca...
	11:55pm moontana: yea, this stuff never gets old. all the glorious sounds trapped out there in grooves on records never to be heard.

	9:18pm chresti ->SF: We’re in the Blumin sanctuary

	9:20pm JakeGould: Mogen David 20/20
	9:20pm OlympusMons: volcanic fusion´
	9:20pm TDK60: ..yeh, never mind all that calendar stuff, what's /now/ daddio?
	9:20pm George of Troy: Daniel! Happy New Year to ya!
	9:23pm ultradamno: Calendars are where Norman Rockwell pictures go to die.
	9:24pm JakeGould: I remember being so impressed with Normal Rockwell as a kid. Now as an adult? I just see a culture I don’t get.
	9:26pm chresti ->SF: Yeah, forget calendars, it’s the future
	9:26pm Michael 98145: NR was a world the post-war US of A was trying to fabricate.
	🌫 9:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Was it Norman's son or nephew who performed "Somebody's Watching Me"?
	9:27pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks, George! backatcha!
	9:28pm JakeGould: Maybe Rockwell was so freaked out by this old white-guy painter following him around?
	9:28pm ultradamno: This one's terrifying though twitter.com...
	9:29pm ultradamno: Those kids ate that guy, true story.
	9:29pm Robert Tables: Happy new year!
	9:29pm JakeGould: All these WASPy folks with full families and homes and cheeky wholesome nonsense. Blah!
	9:29pm ultradamno: I guess it's just the one...she probably had friends
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: it's okay, they cooked him first.
	9:31pm ultradamno: Another one with a little girl holding something up to a fancy man, was that a theme? twitter.com...
	9:31pm Daniel Blumin: Robert Tables, many thanks and same to yous!!!
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: i always thought norman rockwell paintings sucked; but now they repulse me!
	9:34pm Michael 98145: few things Orcs like more than raw longpig.
	9:35pm TDK60: I'm going out to the deli, anyone want something? ...
	9:36pm chresti ->SF: I always get a queasy feeling, like I’m about to get a tooth pulled, whenever I see N Rockwell calendars
	9:36pm ultradamno: Did he ever paint one where a psychopath started the apocalypse on a whim? Because that would be timely.
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: eggnog. Thanks
	9:37pm Hubig Pie: Goin' to the deli? Some chopped liver and a sliver of apple pie
	9:37pm Michael 98145: wasn't Pastor Pence in those calendars?
	9:37pm ultradamno: Norman Rockwell dentist patient, ready for queasing i.pinimg.com...
	9:38pm mariano: @ultradamno: on the Twitter link I only get a dark rectangle fyi. Or am I having a "whoosh!" moment?
	9:38pm TDK60: Coel: sad to report, all my places are out of eggnog. Be back in ten min with corn chips, yogurt. You all work on that fresh 2020 slang...
	9:38pm JakeGould: I’m first generation American, so it took me a while to realize almost all of my teen social pressures had som WASPy aspect to it. Now paint me a picture of Norman Rockwell vaping on a hoverboard!
	9:39pm coelacanth∅: TDK do they have norman rockwell calendars?
	9:39pm ultradamno: @mariano Maybe try again. They're definitely there.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: never mind just get me a murphy's law calendar.
	🌫 9:40pm chresti: TDK60, some seltzer water, thanks
	9:40pm listener 126464: lurkahing
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: TDK you wanna borrow my shopping cart? well, not really my shopping cart...
	🌫 9:41pm Heavy Chevy: Prayers up for Vaughan Oliver.
	9:42pm JakeGould: Welp! I am genuinely saddened by Vaughn Oliver and Syd Mead passing away the same week.
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: bummer. rest in peace Mr. Oliver.
	9:43pm coelacanth∅: let's look on the bright side though; don imus died!
	9:44pm ultradamno: There is a cure for calendars www.strangewaysradio.com...
	9:45pm JakeGould: I never understood the appeal of Imus.
	9:46pm ultradamno: I'm still a little surprised, considering how many second chances he got, Don Imus hasn't been resurrected and sat back in front of a microphone to go on slowly intoning how little he cares about it.
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: i think it's mostly the same fools who like ronald mcdonald trump. (...like my sweet dear mother)
	9:47pm ultradamno: My whole experience of Imus was that weird period that MSNBC would air him while doing his radio show on tv every morning. That was weird.
	9:47pm Michael 98145: @coel, sorry. may we live long enough to see that clown forgotten by history.
	9:48pm Michael 98145: enjoying this show, btw
	9:48pm ultradamno: ...and he was a barely sentient cadaver in a stupid cowboy hat back then.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: i think his (their) popularity boils down to this: for some folks, a little bigotry goes a long way.
	🌫 9:50pm chresti: And his middle name is Donald-Imus
	9:51pm mariano: Ah, got it now @ultradamno, thanks! This reminds me of a Letterman Top 10 list from the 80s, "Top 10 Least Known Norman Rockwell Paintings" including "A Boy's First Manicure", "The Sweetheart of the Cell Block", and my favorite, "Bad Clams".
	9:52pm JakeGould: In the early 1980s I was into Howard Stern on 66 WABC in NYC. Imus was on too. Utterly nobody I knew in JHS liked Imus. Only one person: A classmate that was a very 1980s proto hipster named Anne. Wore a denim jacket filled with patches. She would yell at us about how she met Don Imus once and then would get all hyper and spastic and then would have to be taken to the school nurse. I miss Anne. I don’t miss Imus.
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: good old Anne. she was just confused that's all.
	9:57pm ultradamno: Sounds like the one kid I knew in junior high who loved bagpipe music. Had to love his individual path, but kind of wanted him to keep it to himself.
	9:58pm TDK60: Okay, back from the bodega. This music is /happenin'/ DB.
	10:00pm mariano: I was a kid in junior high who loved bagpipe music! But you bet your ass I kept it to myself, didn't need to give the jocks another reason to fuck with me lol.
	10:06pm Hubig Pie: What bagpipe music ? Marches , reels , strathspeys ? Jigs or piobaireachd ?
	10:07pm ultradamno: Would it be wrong for me to mention my favorite 4AD album cover is Junkyard?
	10:07pm listener 126464: piper down!
	10:08pm melinda: hi everyone! wunderschnapps!
	10:09pm mariano: I was really into Scottish folk music, and my grandfather was a big music nerd like me, so he made me a mixtape, the best part of which was a 1974 Nat'l Geographic album, most of it field rather than studio recording, called The Music of Scotland. Has some great stuff. Not too many bagpipes on that album, however, though Grandpa did put a good bit of that on there as well.
	10:10pm mariano: www.discogs.com...
	10:10pm ultradamno: @Hubig I don't know if he specialized that far. I know there were a lot of albums marketed as "bagpipe music" in his collection. I always just assumed it all was categorized as 'torture tools".
	10:11pm JakeGould: I think the first 4AD cover I ever saw was the Cocteau Twins “Garlands” at Record Runner on Jones Street in the West Village. Wanted to buy it, but it was a pricey import CD. But what a weird, bleak and intriguing cover.
	10:12pm ultradamno: @mariano Yeah, that's the stuff. Lot of covers with gangs of dudes in kilts.
	10:12pm melinda: @mariano that sounds cool. We had some National Geographic albums of mostly field recordings I remember fondly, Ozark music and sea shanties. They put out some good stuff.
	10:12pm chresti ->SF: Cool grandpa, mariano. My grandpa would bring us musical instruments and Navaho rugs
	10:12pm mariano: @ultradamno: you would've hated my cousin's Christmas party then. Her husband's born-and-raised Manhattan Irish, and plays the bagpipe really well, did a medley of Christmas carols. Didn't realize how loud those things are indoors!
	10:13pm mariano: @melinda: Really? That's awesome, didn't know there were others, though of course it makes total sense. Gonna look for those, thanks!
	10:13pm Michael 98145: i was probably the only person in the family who ever cared about music.. and here i am.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: Michael 98145 i just realised i might've misunderstood your comment... and i see that i did! so hear hear - cheers!
	10:13pm listener 126464: Dark Day tip- Robin Crutchfield has a weekly internet radio show at luxuriamusic.com on Mondays
	10:14pm ParUbi: Hello everyone
	10:14pm TDK60: Never heard of those NatGeo samplers..
	10:14pm ultradamno: @Jake That's a good one, Head Over Heels is great too, and graphically a really good example of the 4AD's abstract aesthetic.
	10:15pm JakeGould: That said, I can barely remember any actual Cocteau Twins track names. Even the ones I like! It’s all gobbledygook to me! Maybe that’s a truck name?
	10:15pm Michael 98145: @coel, i still hope he truly will be forgotten by history.
	10:15pm melinda: @TDK60 they had good photos and text, too, as you might imagine. Worth seeking out.
	10:16pm TDK60: Jake its possible the overall Cocteau sound was more intended as the thing that made that work? ...
	10:16pm ultradamno: @ listener 126464 Neat. I'll have to look into that. Zoviet France have a show on Resonance (formerly Basic FM, or maybe the other way around) called A Duck In A Tree. It's available as a podcast. Good stuff.
	10:17pm JakeGould: Yup! Warbling nonsense over nice guitar flanging.
	10:18pm mariano: Here they are, the other Nat Geo albums: www.discogs.com... www.discogs.com...
	10:18pm melinda: In the Nat Geo Ozark album there was a group photo of the musicians and I thought one of them was my grandfather because he wore a similar cowboy hat and glasses, never mind that he was not known to play any instruments and lived in Texas. It's funny how a young child's mind works.
	10:20pm ultradamno: I always thought early CTs were going for a delirious Banshees kind of thing, evidently they were also really into the Birthday Party.
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: haha ...my grandpa's famous, see?!
	10:21pm melinda: @coel right!
	10:21pm Daniel Blumin: listener 126464, happy lurkahing and thx fer the tip! Amen, Heavy Heavy! Thanks, Michael 98145 & TDK! JakeG, that's a great cover fer sure! Ditto, ultrad. And a fine tip there, tooo!
	10:21pm Tome: Happy 2020 Daniel and all !!<>! this is almost like Cortez The Killer , but different key I'm guessing like it !<>!
	🌫 10:22pm Heavy Chevy: Lush cover art (spooky and gala) and all the cocteau's esp HoLV and so many more. He captured the micro/macro thing in shimmering detail. RIP
	10:22pm TDK60: I get the title to this album, hehheh.
	10:22pm ultradamno: Music of the Ozarks sounds intriguing, who doesn't love some good musical bow work (or even better non-musical bow)
	10:22pm Daniel Blumin: JakeG, c'mon, can't forget Musette and Drums, now can ye?
	10:22pm Daniel Blumin: Tome! Happy 2020 to you, too!
	10:23pm ultradamno: ...musical bowed saw, that is.
	10:24pm ec: who would have every guessed that this would be the sound of new haven
	10:25pm melinda: @ultra-d there is good jaw harp as well
	10:27pm ParUbi: tonight, i'm using your show as a soundtrack to the Man with X-Ray Eyes
	10:28pm mariano: Speaking of Ozarks, I finally got around to watching most of the Ken Burns country documentary series. Really interesting.
	10:28pm Chop Scott: Cheers Brother Daniel! Listening in the nest tonight.
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: ParUbi, hopefully it'll work out just fine in the end! Hola, ec! Welcome!
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: Hiya, melinda!
	10:30pm ultradamno: Robin Crutchfield - Dark Day Escape Pod www.luxuriamusic.com...
	10:31pm ultradamno: zovietfrance.podbean.com
	10:32pm ParUbi: yay! zoviet france and a duck in a tree! i had a track on the show once!
	10:32pm ec: that Amundsen trip is quite the expedition
	10:32pm JakeGould: “Musette and Drums?” What’s that? A new British cafe or something?
	10:33pm TDK60: Hey it's a Henry K guitar.
	10:33pm mariano: Sea shanty album all on YouTube, if I can risk a wedgie: www.youtube.com...
	10:36pm ultradamno: @ParUbi I may have heard it. At my current rate, I may be all caught up in a year or two.
	10:36pm coelacanth∅: you just wait till lunchtime!
	10:37pm mariano: @coelacanth∅: Eeeeep!
	10:37pm JakeGould: The tracks on “Treasure” are headache inducing because they are just weird names. • Ivo • Lorelei • Beatrix • Persephone • Yoda • Pandora (For Cindy) • Amelia • Aloysius • Putin • Cicely • Otterly • Donimo
	10:38pm ParUbi: It's a good show. I think it was this one-- soundcloud.com...
	10:40pm ultradamno: I think that last one is a Roy Orbison cover, pretty rockin'
	10:40pm JakeGould: And then “Victorialand” is like a joke: • Lazy Calm • Fluffy Tufts • Throughout The Dark Months Of April And May • Baby Yoda • Whales Tails • Oomingmak • Little Spacey • Wet Willie • Feet-Like Fins • How To Bring A Blush To The Snow • The Thinner The Air • Cottontail Sail
	10:41pm listener 126464: yeah Henry K!
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: mariano yeah -lunchtime maaan. play your bagpipes and i'll buy your lunch!
	10:42pm mariano: Whew, really dodged a bullet there!
	10:43pm JakeGould: At least Brian Eno just labels track 1 as “1”
	10:43pm mariano: Found this on Vimeo, Arctic Dreamtime: vimeo.com...
	10:46pm ultradamno: 4 Years ago? Maybe, the older ones I'm working on at this point are from June '15 through early '16. My favorite Cocteau Twins title is Peppermint Pig, that one always makes me cry.
	10:46pm Daniel Blumin: Cheers, El Choppo!
	10:47pm Daniel Blumin: JakeG, it's a Cocteaus trk! One of my faves from the early ears...
	10:48pm Daniel Blumin: Here be that V Oliver interview - abcdefghijklmn-pqrstuvwxyz.com...
	10:50pm melinda: @mariano years ago when the store I work in had only a cassette player for music I played my tape of the sea shanties during cruise ship tourist season, for maximum maritime ambience. I don't know if anyone noticed.
	10:51pm ultradamno: Any Cocteau Twins past Treasure kind of loses me.
	10:52pm ParUbi: I can look this up, it was around 6/20/2015. I reupped the track around then because of all the excitement.
	10:53pm ultradamno: Except Moon and the Melodies, I guess. Though that's exactly a Cocteau Twins release even though they're all on it.
	10:54pm mariano: @ultradamno: for me it's Blue Bell Knoll or Carolyn's Fingers. But I love all of them. @melina: Hah, that's great! What kind of store was it?
	10:54pm ultradamno: NOT exactly..meant to say
	10:56pm mariano: *@melinda... sorry for the typo!
	10:59pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello Dan, hello all! I've been in hospital for the better part of a week with me dad who suffered a stroke. What a range of emotions and a cause for exhaustion. I just settled in after the final correspondence for the night...and I get some SWANS! Just what the doctor ordered. Thanks, Dan!
	11:00pm melinda: mariano it's a leather goods store, mostly handbags.
	11:01pm TDK60: Sorry to hear Mr Pumpy, difficult times for you.
	11:02pm JakeGould: @MrPumpy: I literally know that feeling. Spent a lot of time with my mom and dad bedside early in life. Be strong and don’t take care of yourself.
	11:03pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks for the words everyone...and thanks for the shout out, Dan. Much appreciated!
	11:04pm mariano: @Mr. Pumpy: really sorry to hear, been there myself.
	11:06pm ParUbi: Loved Parasite
	11:06pm ultradamno: Peaches are versatile.
	11:07pm Mr. Pumpy: My heart goes out to all of you that know this type of situation. It's horrible.
	11:11pm Mr. Pumpy: @Jake & mariano...It's one those things wherein sleep is the only escape, yet I wake up and soon remember, while still in bed, and quickly get that nauseous feeling. I should say sleep is mostly an escape, but last night I dreamt about being there in the hospital room. Such is life...I guess. Again...these words of support from Dan and some listeners are not taken for granted...and I thank you.
	11:12pm TDK60: good music to watusi out of office to..
	11:12pm chresti ->SF: This is the bomb of a song!
	11:14pm Nicule: Anyone else feeling pretty lost post Phish NY run?
	11:15pm TDK60: Must say night, thanks Daniel and radio-ears.
	11:17pm ParUbi: Goodnight, TDK60!
	11:19pm Nicule: Sorry about your pops, Mr. Pumpy. Hoping hard for both of you.
	11:20pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks fer the new year earses, TDK! Nicule, welcome!
	11:23pm ParUbi: That's a tough one. My own father is getting up there and has already had a few falls.
	11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Nicule. Much appreciated.
	11:23pm mariano: @Mr Pumpy: It's a lot like a physical injury, and it requires rest and downtime to get better. Family and friends were really great with me, always there but always giving me my space as well. Let the people in your life hold you up. Good night, @TDK60.
	11:23pm Nicule: Hello, from the bath.
	11:23pm OIOIO: Mr. Pumpy >love&power
	11:23pm ally: daniel...many of your selections are a great representation of the best this year...a few of my favorites were the 10 cassette anthology...on corrosion...also the eighth tower label collection...witchcraft and black magic in the uk...I look forward to your show each week...thanks

	11:34pm Daniel Blumin: Glad you dig, Billy Jam! Trying to summon up the tanzen und blitzen!
	11:36pm ultradamno: Oh, honest to god, that's the next one I've got queued up (usually when there's a new one I listen to it end on end with an old one I've got downloaded)! I'll be paying particular attention.
	11:38pm ParUbi: it's "white christmas"-- enjoy!
	11:41pm mariano: @ally: Just checked out that Eighth Tower comp, loved what little bit I heard, looking forward to the rest.
	11:47pm ally: thanks daniel...also really enjoyed loula yorke...ldols...visiting family in the states...but reside in London area...I dislike the cliche brilliant that you hear way too much....your beaming...
	11:51pm moontana: shxcxchcxsh is rather soothing to the c.txhtotllclth
	11:51pm chresti ->SF: Motor fancy pants!
	11:52pm ultradamno: This is making me want to put on Test Dept.
	11:52pm chresti ->SF: I meant dancy (stupid phone)
	11:52pm ParUbi: Shxchxchxsh has became synonymous!
	🌫 11:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Daniel. Hang in there, Mr. Pumpy.
	11:55pm ultradamno: Reminds me of Mr. Yuk vibrantvictoria.ca...
	11:55pm moontana: yea, this stuff never gets old. all the glorious sounds trapped out there in grooves on records never to be heard.
