	12:20pm JosephB: Hello Mayuko and all! Happy Belated, Dropof! Hey rw!
	12:21pm rw: Joe!
	12:22pm rw: I need the lyrics if you expect me to sing along.
	12:23pm Mark R: How thoughtful of Lordi to dig a hole in the yard for me. That'll save me a lot of work.
	♥ 12:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, vertigo gang. I Dug a Hole in the Yard for You certainly sounds ominous.
	12:23pm JosephB: Ahh, Lordi. I'm all in favor of more bands dressing up like monsters.
	♥ 12:25pm Dropof Goldensun: This would make a great wedding song.
	12:25pm Ike: Does Supercar qualify for this? If so, got any Supercar?
	♥ 12:26pm Sem: You know, FfHP, they used to say about family: can't live with them, can't bury them in the backyard...
	♥ 12:26pm Dropof Goldensun: Thanks JosephB
	12:28pm Rickwaukee: This has a catchy melody
	♥ 12:32pm ParUbi: Just tuning in. Hey, Mayuko and everyone
	12:36pm Rickwaukee: Local independent station used to have a Mong music show - they have their traditional that is one thing - but then they have schlock modern stuff that is similar to this croony stuff
	12:39pm P-90: Listening. Enjoying. Hi Mayuko!
	12:40pm JosephB: @rickwaukee 91.7 wmse?
	♥ 12:40pm Dave in Vermont: here
	♥ 12:40pm Dropof Goldensun: I'm still here. Barely. hahaha
	♥ 12:42pm fred: A few months ago I was talking with a friend about similarities between Circle and Boris. Both prolific bands who have explored different genres, sometimes close to the line between earnest and ridiculous, but without any insufferable ironic pose
	12:42pm Rickwaukee: @JosphB that's it yes Was on I think Sundays 7AM
	12:43pm Rickwaukee: I found the traditional stuff to be beautiful and hypnotic
	12:45pm rw: Weirdly, or maybe not so weirdly I'm having trouble distinguishing the Japanese from the Finnish. Is it the cheese or is it something deeper?
	12:46pm JosephB: @rickwaukee I miss that station. I'll check out that show.
	♥ 12:48pm Webhamster Henry: Single Again is very DX7y!
	♥ 12:48pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mayuko and all
	12:48pm Mayuko: @rw I am too!!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:50pm rw: Are the languages THAT similar? It's kind of freaking me out.
	12:50pm Mayuko: No, the language is not similar at all. which is the most confusing thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	12:52pm P-90: @rw: to English-speaking ears the vowel sounds and some of the rhythms of the two languages can sound very similar.
	12:52pm Mayuko: Welcome, ken, Mark R, Ike, coel and henry! & Belated hi to Dave, P-90, and ParUbi!! Joe B! Have you been to karaoke in Japan?
	12:53pm rw: Either way I seem to prefer the pop cheese to the metal cheese. P-90, that's how it's seeming to me. Just totally unexpected!
	♥ 12:53pm ParUbi: The phonemes are similar though, right? So that's why they sound similar...
	12:53pm Mayuko: @P-90 yeah, sounds of the words are very clear in both languages, that's probably what it is?
	♥ 12:53pm coelacanth∅: - and belated Welcome back Mayuko... i checked in last week but, as this week, i am working and not fully here -unfortunately.
	♥ 12:56pm ParUbi: I found a paper about it! pdfs.semanticscholar.org...
	12:56pm JosephB: @Mayuko Yes, many times! And here in LA too! Do you have a favorite song to sing at karaoke? Pixies are usually my go-to, but maybe I should expand my horizons and sing something less cool next time.
	12:57pm JosephB: Maybe I should learn this Unicorn song.
	♥ 12:57pm ParUbi: Ehh... a book
	12:58pm rw: Joe Black
	♥ 12:58pm fred: @ParUbi: more like a PhD thesis?
	♥ 12:59pm ParUbi: Does look like a dissertation, but without the usual introductory spiel
	1:02pm Mayuko: @ParUbi this explains a bit of my confusion. I wonder Toshiko also could explain for me where our love for this particular kind of cheesy melody is coming from!!!
	♥ 1:02pm Dropof Goldensun: Webhamster Henry I just dug out my old DX7 a few weeks ago.
	♥ 1:02pm fred: @ParUbi: The tedious "state of the art" kowtowing to potential jury members is missing as well. So maybe not a dissertation
	♥ 1:04pm Dropof Goldensun: Wow, I thought it was just me with the whole language thing going on.
	1:05pm Mayuko: Sorry, I was busy singing along with サザンオールスターズ.
	1:07pm rw: Next time we need a bouncing ball.
	♥ 1:09pm Dropof Goldensun: OK, now unfortunately I can understand the words to this song.
	1:09pm Mayuko: @JoeB yes, you supposed to be singing no cool stuff at karaoke. I love Unicorn, you should def try! Many good karaoke tunes!
	♥ 1:09pm coelacanth∅: there are bouncing balls here but they squeak and the dogs will intercept them before you finish a verse
	1:09pm rw: Okay, next question, Mayuko, where the heck did you FIND this stuff???
	1:10pm rw: Haha! Hey coelacanth!
	1:10pm northguineahills: Leningrad cowboys!!! ( I love those movies!)
	♥ 1:10pm tmoyo: I remember this Leningrad Cowboys movie! Speaking of karaoke, I also remember being blown away seeing Sheila B singing Akina Nakamori's 少女A with dance moves. 3,4 years back at the live streaming of the marathon finale.
	♥ 1:11pm coelacanth∅: Dropof what are they saying? something as profound as their album title i presume?
	1:11pm northguineahills: (I guess you're still on a Finnish kick..:)
	♥ 1:11pm coelacanth∅: howdy rw!
	1:11pm rw: Alright, one more. The album is called We Cum From Brooklyn?? WTF?
	♥ 1:14pm coelacanth∅: cheese or not i wish i could turn this up here. i'm not home and my levels are barely audible.
	♥ 1:14pm fred: @ngh: I only managed to listen to the first half of the Amirtha Kidambi and Lea Bertucci set on Dan's show, but I loved it (had to stop because screaming kids downstairs interfered with the interview)
	1:15pm redkayak: Happy 2020 all :)
	1:16pm rw: Oh, man, we're veering into some particularly stinky cheese here.
	1:17pm raszzyy (Sweden): Happy Friends with my 'melodramatic tango obsessed neighbours' show!
	♥ 1:17pm chresti: This sounds like "Oh Darling"
	1:18pm Mayuko: @tmoyo Yeah! It's actually the Japanese, Finns, and Sheila B who share this LOVE.
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: yup
	♥ 1:18pm fred: @rw: but probably easy to pull off at a karaoke bar
	1:18pm rw: The Pää Kii, I mean. So far Elephant Kashimashi is pretty great.
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: back atcha redkayak
	1:19pm redkayak: @coelacanth - Ahoy there :)
	1:19pm rw: fred, agreed!!
	♥ 1:19pm coelacanth∅: this would be delicious on a rosemary & cracked pepper triscuit
	1:21pm Rickwaukee: @JosephB if you're still here, Mong Radio is no longer on the schedule :-(
	♥ 1:21pm Dropof Goldensun: I had a repair guy here working on a fridge. He didn't say anything about the music blasting but I'm sure he was wondering.
	♥ 1:21pm coelacanth∅: yeah i really meant that for the track before; this is great and better and better
	♥ 1:23pm coelacanth∅: (while i try to figure out how to stop a clothes washer from walking around the room)
	1:24pm raszzyy (Sweden): They will tango everywhere :D
	♥ 1:25pm chresti: I wouldn't mind some melodramatic tango
	1:25pm JosephB: @rickwaukee that's a shame
	♥ 1:26pm Michael 98145: Good day, Mayuko. Comrades.
	♥ 1:33pm Dropof Goldensun: Drunken Japanese people are the worst! haha JUST KIDDING!!!
	♥ 1:33pm Michael 98145: I enjoy hearing your stories.
	1:34pm Rickwaukee: Finns never know who they might have to ask for a ride home through the cold and snow
	1:34pm redkayak: Present ;)
	1:36pm Mayuko: @Dropof haha! I guess repair people are used to hearing all sorts of weird things at people's homes though!
	1:37pm Mayuko: Hi Michael 98145! Thank you!!! Glad you're all still here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:37pm Ivan: I’m here!
	♥ 1:38pm Dropof Goldensun: @Mayuko I never thought about that but you're right. Can you imagine not only what they hear but what they see?
	♥ 1:38pm tmoyo: オフコース。of course this has to be in the list!!!!
	♥ 1:39pm fred: I don't know why, but French repair guys always order me to turn it off. Others sometimes even ask me about the station, I've even asked a few about a band they liked and more often than not found a playlist with it
	♥ 1:39pm tmoyo: singing along
	1:41pm Mayuko: @tmoyo so am i!!! 小田和正 is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 1:41pm tmoyo: right!!!
	1:42pm Mayuko: Hei Ivan!!!!!!!!!!
	1:43pm Mayuko: @fred I hope they're not there now, whichever type they may be.
	1:44pm Mayuko: @Dropof at 1:33 no, really we're bad.
	1:46pm rw: Heading out. Thank you Mayuko for the cheese and conversation! Have a good Saturday everyone!
	1:46pm Mayuko: @rw Wait! Don't leave me alone!!!!!!
	♥ 1:46pm fred: @Mayuko: on a Saturday? No way
	1:46pm Mayuko: @fred phew!
	♥ 1:47pm Michael 98145: Thank you for another enjoyable journey.
	1:47pm rw: Ha! Sorry. I'll be listening in the car!
	♥ 1:47pm Michael 98145: @fred, are the strikes over ... ?
	♥ 1:48pm Sem: Getting a weird kick out of today's show, Mayuko. Along to the bitter end:>)
	♥ 1:48pm fred: @Michael 98145: Nope. If anything they're getting a second wind
	♥ 1:49pm Michael 98145: @fred. sorry.
	♥ 1:50pm Michael 98145: @fred they would REALLY hate US working rules
	1:51pm Mayuko: Don't let these domestic pop music turn you off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay tuned for Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson With his guest Joe Fiedler, here on Give the Drummer Radio! wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:52pm tmoyo: thoroughly enjoyed the show! this sounds a bit like Hideki Saijo
	♥ 1:53pm fred: @Michael: That's why they're striking while they can get away with it (which I support, though don't enjoy). Reports say there are more buses and subways. Yet I haven't seen one bus on my way from work this week within Paris, and had to walk all the way home yesterday. Some "improvement"
	1:53pm northguineahills: The Finns were rather happy when Japan kicked the Russian Empire's arse in 1905....
	♥ 1:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mayuko. Let's hope for another hundred years and beyond.
	1:54pm Mayuko: @ngh oh yeah! there's THAT too!
	1:54pm northguineahills: oh, and superb thanks, Mayuko!
	♥ 1:54pm Sem: fred, hope the boots are holding up w/ all that walking.
	♥ 1:54pm Dropof Goldensun: @Mayuko I've thoroughly enjoyed the show today. You've brought another dimension to being hungover at work!
	♥ 1:55pm chresti: Thanks Mayuko!
	♥ 1:55pm Sem: Thx, Mayuko. Been a riot, see you and all next week.
	♥ 1:55pm WR: Just now tuning in. As a person who know a very small amount of Japanese language and no Finnish I admit that some Finnish songs I think it is Japanese that I don't understand. Noticed it last week during the song by Apulanta.
	♥ 1:55pm fred: @Sem: so far so good, got them fully repaired just before it started. Not much time for reading though
	1:55pm JosephB: All this sentimentality reminds me that I still need to torture myself with 2019's Uta Kohaku Gassen.
	♥ 1:56pm Dropof Goldensun: Have a great week everyone!
	1:56pm northguineahills: and since Finland didn't become independent following the dissolution of the Russian Empire in 1918, it make sense one of its first foreign policy directives would to declare friendship w/ Japan.
	♥ 1:56pm fred: Thanks Mayuko! (again, please consider a noise sequel)
	1:56pm JosephB: These Magokoro Brothers are really hitting a nerve for me
	1:57pm northguineahills: didn't become independent until the dissolution of the Russian Empire.
	♥ 1:58pm Doug Schulkind: Wonderful show as always, Mayuko!!! More wonderfulness is coming up on the Drummer Stream. Three more superfantastic radio programs over the next seven hours: 2-5pm (ET) MUSIC FOR A FREE WORLD Live from Brooklyn, New York with Dave Sewelson Dave's special surprised guest is trombonist Joe Fiedler PLAYLIST: wfmu.org... 5-7pm (ET) SOMEDAY MATINEE Live from Nashville, Tennessee with Gina Bacon Gina's stellar guests will be RB Morris and Bo Ramsey! PLAYLIST: wfmu.org... 7-9pm (ET) FIVE MILES TO MIDNIGHT Live from Melbourne, Australia with The Knave PLAYLIST: wfmu.org... More tremendous sounds from your 24-hour Drummer Stream!
	1:59pm JosephB: Today's show was a journey. Thanks again Mayuko!
	♥ 2:00pm WR: This was quality show, doesn't have to be edgy noise all the time.
	2:01pm Mayuko: @Joe B Kohaku is our Raskasta Joulua!!!!!!!!!!
	2:02pm Mayuko: WR! Thank you!!!
	2:03pm Mayuko: Thanks everyone for listening and commenting! Hope to see you all next week!!!!!
	♥ 2:48pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mayuko
	♥ 1:24am WR: When you played Apulanta I was sure it was Japanese pop punk band. My understanding of Japanese is limited so it was not until I checked the name of the artist and Googled them that I realized they are Fins. Relistening to them closely I still heard great similarity to Japanese. Maybe would not pass any linguistic analysis but to untrained or unsuspecting listener definitely strong similarity.
	♥ 1:33am WR: LOL, just noticed that I made same comment about Apulanta when was listening to last part of show as it was broadcast. Listening now from the beginning and it holds very true. Need to read that essay @ParUbi found.

	♥ 1:02pm fred: @ParUbi: The tedious "state of the art" kowtowing to potential jury members is missing as well. So maybe not a dissertation
	♥ 1:04pm Dropof Goldensun: Wow, I thought it was just me with the whole language thing going on.
	1:05pm Mayuko: Sorry, I was busy singing along with サザンオールスターズ.
	1:07pm rw: Next time we need a bouncing ball.
	♥ 1:09pm Dropof Goldensun: OK, now unfortunately I can understand the words to this song.
	1:09pm Mayuko: @JoeB yes, you supposed to be singing no cool stuff at karaoke. I love Unicorn, you should def try! Many good karaoke tunes!
	♥ 1:09pm coelacanth∅: there are bouncing balls here but they squeak and the dogs will intercept them before you finish a verse
	1:09pm rw: Okay, next question, Mayuko, where the heck did you FIND this stuff???
	1:10pm rw: Haha! Hey coelacanth!
	1:10pm northguineahills: Leningrad cowboys!!! ( I love those movies!)
	♥ 1:10pm tmoyo: I remember this Leningrad Cowboys movie! Speaking of karaoke, I also remember being blown away seeing Sheila B singing Akina Nakamori's 少女A with dance moves. 3,4 years back at the live streaming of the marathon finale.
	♥ 1:11pm coelacanth∅: Dropof what are they saying? something as profound as their album title i presume?
	1:11pm northguineahills: (I guess you're still on a Finnish kick..:)
	♥ 1:11pm coelacanth∅: howdy rw!
	1:11pm rw: Alright, one more. The album is called We Cum From Brooklyn?? WTF?
	♥ 1:14pm coelacanth∅: cheese or not i wish i could turn this up here. i'm not home and my levels are barely audible.
	♥ 1:14pm fred: @ngh: I only managed to listen to the first half of the Amirtha Kidambi and Lea Bertucci set on Dan's show, but I loved it (had to stop because screaming kids downstairs interfered with the interview)
	1:15pm redkayak: Happy 2020 all :)
	1:16pm rw: Oh, man, we're veering into some particularly stinky cheese here.
	1:17pm raszzyy (Sweden): Happy Friends with my 'melodramatic tango obsessed neighbours' show!
	♥ 1:17pm chresti: This sounds like "Oh Darling"
	1:18pm Mayuko: @tmoyo Yeah! It's actually the Japanese, Finns, and Sheila B who share this LOVE.
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: yup
	♥ 1:18pm fred: @rw: but probably easy to pull off at a karaoke bar
	1:18pm rw: The Pää Kii, I mean. So far Elephant Kashimashi is pretty great.
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: back atcha redkayak
	1:19pm redkayak: @coelacanth - Ahoy there :)
	1:19pm rw: fred, agreed!!
	♥ 1:19pm coelacanth∅: this would be delicious on a rosemary & cracked pepper triscuit
	1:21pm Rickwaukee: @JosephB if you're still here, Mong Radio is no longer on the schedule :-(
	♥ 1:21pm Dropof Goldensun: I had a repair guy here working on a fridge. He didn't say anything about the music blasting but I'm sure he was wondering.
	♥ 1:21pm coelacanth∅: yeah i really meant that for the track before; this is great and better and better
	♥ 1:23pm coelacanth∅: (while i try to figure out how to stop a clothes washer from walking around the room)
	1:24pm raszzyy (Sweden): They will tango everywhere :D
	♥ 1:25pm chresti: I wouldn't mind some melodramatic tango
	1:25pm JosephB: @rickwaukee that's a shame
	♥ 1:26pm Michael 98145: Good day, Mayuko. Comrades.
	♥ 1:33pm Dropof Goldensun: Drunken Japanese people are the worst! haha JUST KIDDING!!!
	♥ 1:33pm Michael 98145: I enjoy hearing your stories.
	1:34pm Rickwaukee: Finns never know who they might have to ask for a ride home through the cold and snow
	1:34pm redkayak: Present ;)
	1:36pm Mayuko: @Dropof haha! I guess repair people are used to hearing all sorts of weird things at people's homes though!
	1:37pm Mayuko: Hi Michael 98145! Thank you!!! Glad you're all still here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	1:37pm Ivan: I’m here!
	♥ 1:38pm Dropof Goldensun: @Mayuko I never thought about that but you're right. Can you imagine not only what they hear but what they see?
	♥ 1:38pm tmoyo: オフコース。of course this has to be in the list!!!!
	♥ 1:39pm fred: I don't know why, but French repair guys always order me to turn it off. Others sometimes even ask me about the station, I've even asked a few about a band they liked and more often than not found a playlist with it
	♥ 1:39pm tmoyo: singing along
	1:41pm Mayuko: @tmoyo so am i!!! 小田和正 is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 1:41pm tmoyo: right!!!
	1:42pm Mayuko: Hei Ivan!!!!!!!!!!
	1:43pm Mayuko: @fred I hope they're not there now, whichever type they may be.
	1:44pm Mayuko: @Dropof at 1:33 no, really we're bad.
	1:46pm rw: Heading out. Thank you Mayuko for the cheese and conversation! Have a good Saturday everyone!
	1:46pm Mayuko: @rw Wait! Don't leave me alone!!!!!!
	♥ 1:46pm fred: @Mayuko: on a Saturday? No way
	1:46pm Mayuko: @fred phew!
	♥ 1:47pm Michael 98145: Thank you for another enjoyable journey.
	1:47pm rw: Ha! Sorry. I'll be listening in the car!
	♥ 1:47pm Michael 98145: @fred, are the strikes over ... ?
	♥ 1:48pm Sem: Getting a weird kick out of today's show, Mayuko. Along to the bitter end:>)
	♥ 1:48pm fred: @Michael 98145: Nope. If anything they're getting a second wind
	♥ 1:49pm Michael 98145: @fred. sorry.
	♥ 1:50pm Michael 98145: @fred they would REALLY hate US working rules
	1:51pm Mayuko: Don't let these domestic pop music turn you off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stay tuned for Music For a Free World with Dave Sewelson With his guest Joe Fiedler, here on Give the Drummer Radio! wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:52pm tmoyo: thoroughly enjoyed the show! this sounds a bit like Hideki Saijo
	♥ 1:53pm fred: @Michael: That's why they're striking while they can get away with it (which I support, though don't enjoy). Reports say there are more buses and subways. Yet I haven't seen one bus on my way from work this week within Paris, and had to walk all the way home yesterday. Some "improvement"
	1:53pm northguineahills: The Finns were rather happy when Japan kicked the Russian Empire's arse in 1905....
	♥ 1:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mayuko. Let's hope for another hundred years and beyond.
	1:54pm Mayuko: @ngh oh yeah! there's THAT too!
	1:54pm northguineahills: oh, and superb thanks, Mayuko!
	♥ 1:54pm Sem: fred, hope the boots are holding up w/ all that walking.
	♥ 1:54pm Dropof Goldensun: @Mayuko I've thoroughly enjoyed the show today. You've brought another dimension to being hungover at work!
	♥ 1:55pm chresti: Thanks Mayuko!
	♥ 1:55pm Sem: Thx, Mayuko. Been a riot, see you and all next week.
	♥ 1:55pm WR: Just now tuning in. As a person who know a very small amount of Japanese language and no Finnish I admit that some Finnish songs I think it is Japanese that I don't understand. Noticed it last week during the song by Apulanta.
	♥ 1:55pm fred: @Sem: so far so good, got them fully repaired just before it started. Not much time for reading though
	1:55pm JosephB: All this sentimentality reminds me that I still need to torture myself with 2019's Uta Kohaku Gassen.
	♥ 1:56pm Dropof Goldensun: Have a great week everyone!
	1:56pm northguineahills: and since Finland didn't become independent following the dissolution of the Russian Empire in 1918, it make sense one of its first foreign policy directives would to declare friendship w/ Japan.
	♥ 1:56pm fred: Thanks Mayuko! (again, please consider a noise sequel)
	1:56pm JosephB: These Magokoro Brothers are really hitting a nerve for me
	1:57pm northguineahills: didn't become independent until the dissolution of the Russian Empire.
	♥ 1:58pm Doug Schulkind: Wonderful show as always, Mayuko!!! More wonderfulness is coming up on the Drummer Stream.

	1:59pm JosephB: Today's show was a journey. Thanks again Mayuko!
	♥ 2:00pm WR: This was quality show, doesn't have to be edgy noise all the time.
	2:01pm Mayuko: @Joe B Kohaku is our Raskasta Joulua!!!!!!!!!!
	2:02pm Mayuko: WR! Thank you!!!
	2:03pm Mayuko: Thanks everyone for listening and commenting! Hope to see you all next week!!!!!
	♥ 2:48pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Mayuko
	♥ 1:24am WR: When you played Apulanta I was sure it was Japanese pop punk band. My understanding of Japanese is limited so it was not until I checked the name of the artist and Googled them that I realized they are Fins. Relistening to them closely I still heard great similarity to Japanese. Maybe would not pass any linguistic analysis but to untrained or unsuspecting listener definitely strong similarity.
	♥ 1:33am WR: LOL, just noticed that I made same comment about Apulanta when was listening to last part of show as it was broadcast. Listening now from the beginning and it holds very true. Need to read that essay @ParUbi found.
