Listener comments!
	♥ 10:00pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s been a ridiculously long day today. I’ll probably pass out shortly unfortunately.
	10:03pm Kris Holmes: Hi Matt, well thanks for being here for however long you can.
	♥ 10:04pm Little Danny: Hey Kris 'n' Matt
	♥ 10:05pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m happy to return to “normal” tomorrow but avoiding the bead debris while riding my bike will be fun until we face a few big storms
	10:05pm Kris Holmes: Hi Dan
	♥ 10:05pm Matt from New Orleans: Hi Danny
	10:06pm Kris Holmes: Oh man, my facebook feed has again blown up with mardi gras pics today
	♥ 10:08pm Matt from New Orleans: I was done by noon but was out doing shenanigans at 5 AM
	♥ 10:17pm WR: Tonight it does feel very much that it is a long way home, wherever that is . . . .
	♥ 10:19pm Little Danny: I sent off my master CD today. You're ahead of me. Now I'm sorting through the ten billion other emails related to the Marathon and trying to figure out what else I've forgotten.
	♥ 10:21pm Matt from New Orleans: I’ve already made my donation just waiting for the marathon to start to do the split so I can be eligible for prizes.
	10:21pm Kris Holmes: Dude, So. MANY. EMAILS :( It's ridiculous.
	♥ 10:24pm Little Danny: I know. I keep wanting to email the list asking for some clarity but realize that would be further compounding the problem.
	10:24pm Kris Holmes: ugh
	♥ 10:25pm Little Danny: Another Motown 45 that's brand new to me. This is great. I like the hint of the coal-miner beat.
	10:26pm Kris Holmes: cheapie, i think this was $1 at the yard sale on saturday
	♥ 10:28pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m assuming you bought the bettye swann to sell
	♥ 10:29pm WR: Yes, the fund raising marathon is like a decathlon or obstacle course. I signed up for monthly donation / swag for life so in theory i have nothing to do, but still trying to figure out best steps to support the hosts of shows I regularly listen to. Cannot imagine all the things you are having to respond to.
	10:29pm Kris Holmes: yeah, actually i need to check if my file copy is worn because this one plays pretty great!
	10:29pm Kris Holmes: this 45 is notorious for wearing out & distorting easily
	♥ 10:30pm Matt from New Orleans: Styrene?
	10:31pm Kris Holmes: yep :( such a great 45 though
	♥ 10:39pm Matt from New Orleans: Digging the Blakey
	10:40pm Kris Holmes: great scrappy sound to it, live, but so live sounding. i feel like i'm at a table in bird land right now through headphones
	10:41pm Kris Holmes: I'm apparently on a LJT Galaxy 45s kick at the moment
	♥ 10:42pm Little Danny: Ha, abrupt breaks between pts. 1 and 2 of certain 45s always kill my DJ game
	10:42pm Kris Holmes: yeah, that one caught me
	♥ 10:44pm Little Danny: Not much time between those solos!
	♥ 10:49pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s that the 45 translates Vieux Carrie literally instead of saying French Quarter
	♥ 10:49pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s funny
	♥ 10:50pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m too tired to fix all my typos/autocorrects
	10:50pm Kris Holmes: translated as "Old Square" on the label lol
	♥ 10:57pm Matt from New Orleans: This could use some Hammond
	♥ 11:03pm Matt from New Orleans: Putting my phone down. Have a great night guys. I’ll listen until I pass out.
	11:03pm Kris Holmes: goodnight Matt
	♥ 11:11pm Little Danny: He DOES sound like Lou Rawls, you're right!
	♥ 11:33pm WR: It seems you are mostly playing recent acquisitions. I'm amazed that you are able to find all these at reasonable prices.
	11:35pm Kris Holmes: yeah, a bunch of stuff that's come in the last couple of weeks, not many of them will find their way into my collection, most will go direct to the sales boxes.
	11:39pm northguineahills: Had interesting day, two parts shite, one part good (fractionally). Haven't had time to hit woofmoo in 32 hours. Kris make it back to 50/50 before sleep hits (assuming sleep happens). Oh, and thanks Kris!
	♥ 11:41pm WR: Damn, NGH, sorry to hear that.
	11:41pm Kris Holmes: Sorry your day wasn't 100% good
	11:45pm northguineahills: 16 mins could get it to 67% good! (still taking the long way home, still figuring where that may be, ahhhh… wfmu!)
	11:48pm northguineahills: oddly enough, I'm waiting for a freelance check from San Antonio, to help pay to the bumper that got knocked off by a hoserino when I was parked on the street.
	11:49pm Kris Holmes: i hope San Antonio comes through
	11:51pm northguineahills: (that waspart of my day, but I had multiple positive job interviews). I was actually digging online to fill my cumbia void a few hours earlier, as my music collection is 3 hours away...
	11:53pm Kris Holmes: fingers crossed on the jobs
	♥ 11:59pm WR: NGH, there will be a major woof moo celebration when you find suitable employment, until then we're here for you in spirit. If that makes sense.
	12:00am northguineahills: true, WR, gracias!
	♥ 12:00am WR: Thank you Kris for this evening's soundtrack.
