	3:19pm spodiodi: oh yeah
	🚂 3:20pm Bas NL: Hello David & all!
	3:20pm David Dichelle: Hey there Bas!
	3:20pm Webhamster Henry: I love hearing these without my copies' lo-fi and scratches.
	🚂 3:23pm redkayak: Hello everyone :)
	3:23pm StringOFperils: hi all. sounds pretty sweet up in heeah
	3:24pm David Dichelle: Ahoy there Redkayak and StringOFperils!
	🚂 3:26pm redkayak: @David - Aye aye, captain! Where are we heading for today?
	3:26pm David Dichelle: All points west - and east!
	🚂 3:28pm redkayak: A genuinely spring-like day here in Chicago. Lovely.
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: 'got a brand new 2-dollar bill. take me far from here
	3:30pm David Dichelle: Here too, redkayak, just about summerlike...
	🚂 3:30pm chresti: This is my favorite version of Summertime.
	3:32pm coelacanth∅: -one of mine. also zombies, Sam Cooke...
	3:33pm spodiodi: i love train tracks
	🚂 3:33pm chresti: Yeah, I guess I have other favorites.
	3:36pm fred: @chresti: Don't explain, infidelity is OK (in some matters)
	3:37pm StringOFperils: High infidelity will give you mono.
	3:37pm coelacanth∅: haha "go take a shower"!
	🚂 3:38pm dutchtheo: Happy Billy holiday, David and travelers, missed my favorite singer set, but i will definitely catch up
	🚂 3:39pm dutchtheo: Billie! Autocorrect...
	🚂 3:41pm chresti: Haha StringO.
	🚂 3:42pm chresti: Billie was the first one.
	3:43pm fred: @David: where is that pic from? There must me a story behind this
	3:44pm spodiodi: bonny program here
	3:44pm spodiodi: bonnie too
	3:44pm coelacanth∅: yes that picture. that looks uncomfortable.
	3:45pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Dutchtheo!
	🚂 3:46pm Bas NL: I was just about to ask about the picture as well... what's the story with that?
	3:48pm David Dichelle: That is a wooden sculpture I often pass. I couldn't find a name or artist, I'm afraid.
	3:48pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Spodiodi!
	3:49pm StringOFperils: which part of Germany is that located in ? Maybe I can find out.
	3:51pm David Dichelle: I'm in Leipzig and that is technically in neighboring Markkleeberg at Lake Cospuden. I looked for a plaque but there doesn't seem to be one there.
	3:53pm StringOFperils: thank David. I'll snoop around and see
	3:54pm David Dichelle: Thanks, StringOFperils!
	3:55pm Stanley: Hi David and fellow riders. Tuned in to a grisly piece, this Bonnie Susie Cleland
	3:57pm David Dichelle: Hello Stanley, yes, they can certainly go that way, these old folk songs.
	3:58pm fred: Interesting sculpture, the heads above look modern-fake-norse, the upside down figure is also ambiguous time-wise. Makes me curious
	3:59pm Stanley: Yes, david. There's nothing like a good old serving of ignorant racist cruelty put down in song.
	3:59pm Webhamster Henry: Just a day late for Tartan Day: en.wikipedia.org...
	🚂 4:00pm chresti: Upside-down walking the plank, was my first thought, looking at that sculpture.
	4:01pm fred: I really like the asymmetry of the base
	4:02pm northguineahills: Clutha, not to be confused w/ Cthulhu....
	4:02pm David Dichelle: Yes, it is one of many odd wooden sculpture that went up there around 15 or 20 years ago. It is actually where the lake path leads down to a handful of shops and restaurants.
	4:05pm David Dichelle: Indeed NGH!
	4:10pm northguineahills: I have to admit this is the first British Isles folk song I don't recognize that you've done....
	4:12pm Dean: Listened yesterday to a Custer LaRue record that might have fit well in this set, The True Lover's Fairwell. She performs tunes transplanted to the South.
	4:13pm David Dichelle: Henry, not to mention that yesterday was the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, apparently.
	4:13pm David Dichelle: Dean, it is true that we haven't heard from her in a while on the show.
	4:14pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy David, friends!
	4:14pm David Dichelle: Greetings, Phillippe!
	4:15pm Nick: Guten Abend, David :D
	4:15pm Phillippe Bastille: @David skies don't look gloomy as hell in today's pic. What happened?
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: is the last hour of continental subway floating around in the ether somewhere, waiting to be snatched up and listened to?
	4:26pm David Dichelle: Grüß dich, Nick!
	4:29pm David Dichelle: Coelacanth: Maybe in a parallel universe somewhere...
	4:29pm StringOFperils: no luck on the wooden monument...its mount looks impromptu, so I'm thinking it's impermanent, perhaps non-commisioned post-grad work..looks cobbled together from Norse-derived dragon bits, and an Anthony Gormley-like figure in a different wood. Hard to narrow my search-terms to come up with anything. That part of the world is drowning in public art.
	4:30pm David Dichelle: Thanks for looking, S of P!
	4:31pm StringOFperils: my pleasure. it's my thing
	4:32pm David Dichelle: Phillippe: Lots of sunshine here this week, in fact.
	🚂 4:38pm Listening Out There: Sad news: Hal Wilner has passed...the virus. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:40pm StringOFperils: oh, that's to bad. he was a brilliant music producer/cross-pollenator. A lot of musical roads met at that guy
	4:40pm David Dichelle: That is sad news.
	4:40pm StringOFperils: *too
	4:44pm Nick: https://kanu.scdhfk.de/fileadmin/_processed_/9/b/csm_DSC05746_0b4885d7a3.jpg "Drachenbootrennen am Cospudener See" maybe some remains, david?
	🚂 4:47pm Brian in UK: Hello David and train spotters everywhere. First swallows sighted by two friends the last few days.
	4:48pm David Dichelle: There could be a connection, although I always kind of connected all the sculptures with the Expo that was around 2000 or so.
	🚂 4:48pm βrian: Any coconuts?
	4:48pm David Dichelle: 'Evening, Brian - and 'afternoon, βrian!
	🚂 4:50pm Brian in UK: Crack open the rum and sing some Chanteys.
	4:53pm TDK60: Hello, sorry so late.
	4:53pm StringOFperils: like a rusticated version of the figurehead shown on this page > avaldsnes.info...
	4:53pm Dean: Daltrey's gonna show up any second now...
	4:55pm David Dichelle: Welcome TDK60!
	🚂 4:56pm Bas NL: What fantastic tracks all the way David! I'm really enjoying tonight's show!
	4:58pm David Dichelle: Thanks so much, Bas!
	🚂 4:59pm Listening Out There: Seconded! Great stuff, as usual...
	🚂 5:00pm Yvang: I enjoy the mix of traditional and electro acoustic there!
	5:00pm David Dichelle: Then I second those thanks, LOT!
	5:02pm TDK60: I have a question off topic maybe. The other day someone drew a distinction between eclectic radio and free form radio. I thought them the same thing. Can anyone explain the distinction for this clueless cassette guy?
	5:03pm David Dichelle: Yvang, can't agree more!
	5:04pm Dean: When you say "eclectic" I think Santa Monica station KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. It is the apotheosis of pretentious, "Hey, look at me! I'm cool!" programming.
	5:05pm doctorjazz: Like this track a REEL lot!
	5:05pm Dean: Or at least it was decades ago, when I started, then quickly stopped tuning in.
	5:05pm fred: @StringOfperils. I won a drawing contest at age 6 or so with a drawing of such a dragonship. I quit art-making on top right then
	🚂 5:07pm chresti: Freeform radio has the freedom to play something that is not eclectic, perhaps.
	🚂 5:07pm Bas NL: @TDK.. good question..
	5:08pm StringOFperils: @tdk60..I think that was a semantic joke argument. the chief difference is that 'eclectic radio' is an overused and exhausted term used in neo-commercial radio, yeah like KCRW. So it means nothing really. Free-form is a term from the late 60s, meaning yuo can do whatever you want to, to make something new and fresh and different. Chatters were just jerking each others' chains, rattling each others' self-isolation cages
	5:08pm Stanley: Oi Va Voi! It's been ages since I heard Oi Va Voi
	5:09pm fred: @TDK60: Eclectic is diverse, which is good. I think freeform is personal, which can be great or awful, or anywhere in between, for each listener, and that's kind of the point
	🚂 5:09pm Carmichael: Heya David and statue gazers.
	🚂 5:10pm βrian: Yes, sometimes so awful as to be sadistic.
	5:10pm David Dichelle: Hey Carmichael!
	5:12pm StringOFperils: I've never heard 'eclectic radio' play Tuvan throat singers, or Nyabinghi chanting....ya can't sell stuff in between sets of that
	5:12pm Dean: KCRW most definitely did play Tuvan throat singing.
	5:13pm Soul Captain: Put a note asking for an explanation
	🚂 5:14pm Bas NL: Does KCRW do Polka?
	5:14pm StringOFperils: I stand corrected. That station does meet the dictionary definition of eclectic....but it isn't free. It's about money, ultimately
	5:14pm fred: @βrian: Agreed, but some of the most sadistic shows were the most memorable. Then again, I tuned out of others too fast to remember them
	5:15pm Dean: Also, I think that with respect to WFMU "free-form" characterizes the way the entire station operates and programs, whereas with KCRW "eclectic" referred to the programming and brand of one show. The rest of the station was local gov't, NPR and NPR-ish stuff, nothing special.
	🚂 5:15pm Brian in UK: Eclection were a folksy band in the late Sixties over here.
	🚂 5:15pm βrian: Apoplectic Radio is a favorite among American conservatives.
	5:15pm fred: (I miss Kenny G)
	5:15pm StringOFperils: it proliferates terms...language is a trap. "Language is a virus from outer space."__William S. Burroughs
	🚂 5:16pm chresti: I listened to The Reggae Beat in the 80s, on KCRW.
	5:16pm Dean: Was thinking just a few days ago of Kenny G. The one you're thinking of, fredd. Reggae Beat, hell yes! Steffens, right? He's amazing.
	🚂 5:17pm Carmichael: Speaking of upside-down people, gaze into the blue-green abyss. Can you see them? www.hipgnosiscovers.com...
	5:18pm coelacanth∅: i think eclectic means widely varied in taste &/or execution. freeform applies only to execution and doesn't necessarily mean widely varied but does mean not under a prespecified or imposed upon discipline.
	5:18pm Nick: dave, you know the discussion in germany, the distinction between "Offener Kanal" and "Freies Radio". maybe i don't get it, but that's the first thing in my mind..
	5:18pm TDK60: Thanks for your input, all. I didn't know there is a difference, tend to conflate these. I witnessed free form (or "underground") radio evolve as a teen back in the '60s.
	5:19pm coelacanth∅: (someone probably said something along those lines already. i just came back inside)
	5:19pm Dean: You pretty much captured OED's take, coel.
	5:19pm doctorjazz: There's much overlap, I'm sure, between eclectic and free form. I'd say eclectic can still be programmed; the show is supposed to have a certain content or theme, varied as that may be. Free Form leaves out all to the DJ; they're likely to have some tendencies to certain genres, artists, but they're not told at all what they should be playing. (Some FMU shows are somewhat programmed, like the blues and gospel shows, but even there, the DJ had wide latitude (Matt has a very open sense of what is blues)
	🚂 5:19pm Carmichael: OK, that didn't work. Try this, about halfway down the page (Canada book 4): www.hipgnosiscovers.com...
	🚂 5:19pm chresti: Yes, and Hank Holmes, Dean.
	5:20pm Soul Captain: bit.ly...
	5:20pm TDK60: Chresti, I used to read Reggae & African Beat mag in the 80s.
	5:20pm Soul Captain: Freeform bit.ly...
	5:21pm StringOFperils: these categories are just for the convenience of communicating with one another, but as you can see, they just pile up until you can't get down from the top of the Tower of Babel
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: ("oed"?)
	🚂 5:21pm chresti: I had a couple of those, TDK60.
	5:22pm TDK60: Doc Jazz: Yeh, I dig that blues show of Matt's and how easily wide-ranging it is.
	🚂 5:22pm Bas NL: Music often becomes eclectic 40 years after it became mainstream from being underground.
	🚂 5:22pm βrian: Oxford English Dictionary, of course!
	5:22pm Dean: Oxford English Dictionary
	🚂 5:23pm βrian: "AACR2, " she whispered.
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: ah, okay. i think i'd like one of those
	5:25pm doctorjazz: I've been known to comment on the board of a show I can't listen to. Not sure what that says about me.
	5:25pm Dean: I've been involved with a project, βrian, that has brought to mind AACR2 on occasion. Yeah, OED is hella fun.
	5:26pm coelacanth∅: ...although if i had an oxford english dictionary i'd probably get annoyed even more often than i get now at the obliteration that's well underway of the language.
	5:26pm StringOFperils: this is such a good show. (stating the obvious, I know)
	5:27pm David Dichelle: Thanks, StringOFperils!
	5:28pm David Dichelle: Hello up there (on the comments thread), Soul Captain!
	5:28pm Franco Twinkie: Hmm, Eclectic vs. free form. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I mostly listened to KCRW for the chatter. Their music programming I could only take in small doses. But now, since every one is flipping out all the time, the dj's seem to be less inclined to play the usual well groomed blah. As per our conversation last nigh, Coel, I took Garcia with me on my run to the store awhile ago. Timeless and poignant without been specific.
	5:29pm Dean: One of OED's strengths is its depiction in timelines of examples of usage the evolution of the language, for better or worse. Another is detailed etymology for most entries. The lexicon takes on breadth and depth. In a recent comment on a listserv, βrian, one participant stated, "I've always thought of cataloging as the core of librarianship."
	5:30pm David Dichelle: Nick, I'm not sure if it really translates or if the distinctions are even that clear-cut. For me, freeform has more to do with individual freedom and experimenting, while eclectic just means there is no particular genre. But that's just my sense of it.
	5:31pm David Dichelle: Franco, that is good news about their music, I guess?
	5:32pm TDK60: David, that paragraph seems good for me now. Now, lets' change the topic to clarinets...hee.
	5:32pm StringOFperils: AG--reed
	5:33pm David Dichelle: Good links, by the way, Soul Captain!
	🚂 5:34pm Bas NL: I once read out the dictionary meaning of a word to a six-year old.. She sighed and said: Why do you talk so much?
	5:34pm Dean: Is a basset horn a clarinet?
	🚂 5:34pm βrian: @Dean: I was involved in the Humanities E-Book initiative and we had our own dedicated cataloger. It was a blast to read his disquistions on this or that, and to be exposed to the philosophical context that informed his decisions.
	5:34pm coelacanth∅: oh man, Dean i really should get one. that sounds great! - and i assume it calls slangs slangs, instead of entering them as if they're real words, letting the children argue that they are real words, because they're in the websters. (or the urban dictionary)
	5:34pm Dean: Hey, Bas NL, at least she didn't call you Merriam Webster.
	5:35pm David Dichelle: Dean, it's a freeform clarinet.
	5:35pm coelacanth∅: Franco i forgot! but i'm taking it out now, and psyched again.
	5:36pm Dean: I played clarinet and bass clarinet, and on occasion, eclectic guitar.
	🚂 5:36pm βrian: @Bas: Our six-year old yesterday asked us, "Why are you not turning that off?" (We were enjoying Radio Ravioli.)
	5:36pm coelacanth∅: (i can't take it on my walk though, since i only have it on vinyl and cassette, and only have a cd walkman)
	🚂 5:37pm Brian in UK: Dean is this what you had in mind? www.pets4homes.co.uk...
	🚂 5:37pm Bas NL: @Dean & @βrian ;)
	5:37pm Franco Twinkie: David,well, it might be me letting my critical guard down, just for the relief when I can't stand the news for another second, I think.
	5:37pm Dean: My cataloging professor, Elaine Svenonius, wrote a very good book on the topic long after I graduated, The Conceptual Foundations of Descriptive Cataloging. I had to acquire my own copy.
	5:38pm Dean: Yes, Brian in UK. The clarinet has a sadder, droopier tone.
	5:38pm TDK60: I played clarinet one year in elementary school band. I was awful and gave up music for years.
	5:38pm StringOFperils: BAS HL. perfect response. kids are right on. Language is symbols that point to actual objects. Never let the language obfuscate or replace the actual thing that it points to; that's like being mesmerized by witchcraft. Just open your eyes and your ears, like a kid. It's rich and it's wonderful to be directly connected to the real world, without the intermediary cage of language.
	🚂 5:39pm Brian in UK: I never got much past bibliography.
	5:40pm Dean: I was awful, too, TDK60, but I stuck with it for three years. Also played tenor saxophone. Followed by anything I could use to generate noise.
	5:40pm TDK60: Interesting that Dorsey & Miller were huge with their clarinets in the '30s-'40s, then clarinet seemed to disappear in jazz.
	5:42pm Dean: Giuffre, Daniels, Peplowski, Lacy...
	🚂 5:42pm Brian in UK: Heard that there is a pink moon tonight, not over here.
	🚂 5:42pm Listening Out There: For clarinetists, I'm a fan of Anat Cohen.... :)
	🚂 5:42pm βrian: If you just ignore someone who speaks to you, is that sufficient social distancing?
	5:43pm StringOFperils: Yeah, I was gonna play Nick Drake's PINK MOON today, after sunset.
	🚂 5:44pm Brian in UK: Liberace on clarinet.
	5:46pm TDK60: I love bassoons.
	🚂 5:46pm βrian: I want a parasol with my Pink Moon: www.diffordsguide.com...
	5:47pm StringOFperils: girl drink drunk
	🚂 5:48pm Brian in UK: Thanks David, stay cool everyone.
	5:49pm David Dichelle: I think we're all out of Bob's Lavender Bitters.
	5:49pm TDK60: ..running outta time to discuss bassoons, some other show. Danke David. Stay safe folks -mentally/spiritually too..
	5:50pm David Dichelle: No lavender bitters, but we may have a moon still to go.
	5:51pm David Dichelle: Thanks Brian and TDK60 - good to mention that mental side of things, hope everyone is coping as well as possible.
	5:53pm Martinibomb: Heya David!
	🚂 5:53pm βrian: Instead, I'm settling for a little red from the Wine Car.
	🚂 5:54pm chresti: Ah, yes.
	5:54pm David Dichelle: Hey there Martinibomb!
	5:54pm spodiodi: thanks for keeping us moving, David! see you next time
	🚂 5:55pm Bas NL: Thanks David! Grrreat show!! And thanks all for commenteering..
	5:55pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Spodiodi!
	5:55pm David Dichelle: And Bas!
	5:56pm Martinibomb: Just looking over your most excellent playlist from today. I'm sad I missed the earlier part of your show now.
	🚂 5:56pm chresti: Teddy Wilson orchestra. Thanks mucho, David!
	🚂 5:56pm chris: thanks, David! great stuff!
	5:57pm doctorjazz: Back to Billie, how could you go wrong (these swing song small band recordings are fabulous). Thanks, David, great show!
	5:59pm Martinibomb: Anytime is a good time for Billie but especially now she's a great voice to hear. Thanks David!
	5:59pm doctorjazz: Is that the Garcia solo album you guys were talking about? Might have a digital copy...
	5:59pm StringOFperils: thx a lot
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: my favorite Billie, by far. 1936
	🚂 6:00pm chresti: I wished on the moon, is good too.
	6:00pm David Dichelle: Thanks so much, everyone!
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: Great program David! Thanks take care

	3:19pm spodiodi: oh yeah
	🚂 3:20pm Bas NL: Hello David & all!
	3:20pm David Dichelle: Hey there Bas!
	3:20pm Webhamster Henry: I love hearing these without my copies' lo-fi and scratches.
	🚂 3:23pm redkayak: Hello everyone :)
	3:23pm StringOFperils: hi all. sounds pretty sweet up in heeah
	3:24pm David Dichelle: Ahoy there Redkayak and StringOFperils!
	🚂 3:26pm redkayak: @David - Aye aye, captain! Where are we heading for today?
	3:26pm David Dichelle: All points west - and east!
	🚂 3:28pm redkayak: A genuinely spring-like day here in Chicago. Lovely.
	3:28pm coelacanth∅: 'got a brand new 2-dollar bill. take me far from here
	3:30pm David Dichelle: Here too, redkayak, just about summerlike...
	🚂 3:30pm chresti: This is my favorite version of Summertime.
	3:32pm coelacanth∅: -one of mine. also zombies, Sam Cooke...
	3:33pm spodiodi: i love train tracks
	🚂 3:33pm chresti: Yeah, I guess I have other favorites.
	3:36pm fred: @chresti: Don't explain, infidelity is OK (in some matters)
	3:37pm StringOFperils: High infidelity will give you mono.
	3:37pm coelacanth∅: haha "go take a shower"!
	🚂 3:38pm dutchtheo: Happy Billy holiday, David and travelers, missed my favorite singer set, but i will definitely catch up
	🚂 3:39pm dutchtheo: Billie! Autocorrect...
	🚂 3:41pm chresti: Haha StringO.
	🚂 3:42pm chresti: Billie was the first one.
	3:43pm fred: @David: where is that pic from? There must me a story behind this
	3:44pm spodiodi: bonny program here
	3:44pm spodiodi: bonnie too
	3:44pm coelacanth∅: yes that picture. that looks uncomfortable.
	3:45pm David Dichelle: Good evening, Dutchtheo!
	🚂 3:46pm Bas NL: I was just about to ask about the picture as well... what's the story with that?
	3:48pm David Dichelle: That is a wooden sculpture I often pass. I couldn't find a name or artist, I'm afraid.
	3:48pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Spodiodi!
	3:49pm StringOFperils: which part of Germany is that located in ? Maybe I can find out.
	3:51pm David Dichelle: I'm in Leipzig and that is technically in neighboring Markkleeberg at Lake Cospuden. I looked for a plaque but there doesn't seem to be one there.
	3:53pm StringOFperils: thank David. I'll snoop around and see
	3:54pm David Dichelle: Thanks, StringOFperils!
	3:55pm Stanley: Hi David and fellow riders. Tuned in to a grisly piece, this Bonnie Susie Cleland
	3:57pm David Dichelle: Hello Stanley, yes, they can certainly go that way, these old folk songs.
	3:58pm fred: Interesting sculpture, the heads above look modern-fake-norse, the upside down figure is also ambiguous time-wise. Makes me curious
	3:59pm Stanley: Yes, david. There's nothing like a good old serving of ignorant racist cruelty put down in song.
	3:59pm Webhamster Henry: Just a day late for Tartan Day: en.wikipedia.org...
	🚂 4:00pm chresti: Upside-down walking the plank, was my first thought, looking at that sculpture.
	4:01pm fred: I really like the asymmetry of the base
	4:02pm northguineahills: Clutha, not to be confused w/ Cthulhu....
	4:02pm David Dichelle: Yes, it is one of many odd wooden sculpture that went up there around 15 or 20 years ago. It is actually where the lake path leads down to a handful of shops and restaurants.
	4:05pm David Dichelle: Indeed NGH!
	4:10pm northguineahills: I have to admit this is the first British Isles folk song I don't recognize that you've done....
	4:12pm Dean: Listened yesterday to a Custer LaRue record that might have fit well in this set, The True Lover's Fairwell. She performs tunes transplanted to the South.
	4:13pm David Dichelle: Henry, not to mention that yesterday was the 700th anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath, apparently.
	4:13pm David Dichelle: Dean, it is true that we haven't heard from her in a while on the show.
	4:14pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy David, friends!
	4:14pm David Dichelle: Greetings, Phillippe!
	4:15pm Nick: Guten Abend, David :D
	4:15pm Phillippe Bastille: @David skies don't look gloomy as hell in today's pic. What happened?
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: is the last hour of continental subway floating around in the ether somewhere, waiting to be snatched up and listened to?
	4:26pm David Dichelle: Grüß dich, Nick!
	4:29pm David Dichelle: Coelacanth: Maybe in a parallel universe somewhere...
	4:29pm StringOFperils: no luck on the wooden monument...its mount looks impromptu, so I'm thinking it's impermanent, perhaps non-commisioned post-grad work..looks cobbled together from Norse-derived dragon bits, and an Anthony Gormley-like figure in a different wood. Hard to narrow my search-terms to come up with anything. That part of the world is drowning in public art.
	4:30pm David Dichelle: Thanks for looking, S of P!
	4:31pm StringOFperils: my pleasure. it's my thing
	4:32pm David Dichelle: Phillippe: Lots of sunshine here this week, in fact.
	🚂 4:38pm Listening Out There: Sad news: Hal Wilner has passed...the virus. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:40pm StringOFperils: oh, that's to bad. he was a brilliant music producer/cross-pollenator. A lot of musical roads met at that guy
	4:40pm David Dichelle: That is sad news.
	4:40pm StringOFperils: *too
	4:44pm Nick: https://kanu.scdhfk.de/fileadmin/_processed_/9/b/csm_DSC05746_0b4885d7a3.jpg "Drachenbootrennen am Cospudener See" maybe some remains, david?
	🚂 4:47pm Brian in UK: Hello David and train spotters everywhere. First swallows sighted by two friends the last few days.
	4:48pm David Dichelle: There could be a connection, although I always kind of connected all the sculptures with the Expo that was around 2000 or so.
	🚂 4:48pm βrian: Any coconuts?
	4:48pm David Dichelle: 'Evening, Brian - and 'afternoon, βrian!
	🚂 4:50pm Brian in UK: Crack open the rum and sing some Chanteys.
	4:53pm TDK60: Hello, sorry so late.
	4:53pm StringOFperils: like a rusticated version of the figurehead shown on this page > avaldsnes.info...
	4:53pm Dean: Daltrey's gonna show up any second now...
	4:55pm David Dichelle: Welcome TDK60!
	🚂 4:56pm Bas NL: What fantastic tracks all the way David! I'm really enjoying tonight's show!
	4:58pm David Dichelle: Thanks so much, Bas!
	🚂 4:59pm Listening Out There: Seconded! Great stuff, as usual...
	🚂 5:00pm Yvang: I enjoy the mix of traditional and electro acoustic there!
	5:00pm David Dichelle: Then I second those thanks, LOT!
	5:02pm TDK60: I have a question off topic maybe. The other day someone drew a distinction between eclectic radio and free form radio. I thought them the same thing. Can anyone explain the distinction for this clueless cassette guy?
	5:03pm David Dichelle: Yvang, can't agree more!
	5:04pm Dean: When you say "eclectic" I think Santa Monica station KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. It is the apotheosis of pretentious, "Hey, look at me! I'm cool!" programming.
	5:05pm doctorjazz: Like this track a REEL lot!
	5:05pm Dean: Or at least it was decades ago, when I started, then quickly stopped tuning in.
	5:05pm fred: @StringOfperils. I won a drawing contest at age 6 or so with a drawing of such a dragonship. I quit art-making on top right then
	🚂 5:07pm chresti: Freeform radio has the freedom to play something that is not eclectic, perhaps.
	🚂 5:07pm Bas NL: @TDK.. good question..
	5:08pm StringOFperils: @tdk60..I think that was a semantic joke argument. the chief difference is that 'eclectic radio' is an overused and exhausted term used in neo-commercial radio, yeah like KCRW. So it means nothing really. Free-form is a term from the late 60s, meaning yuo can do whatever you want to, to make something new and fresh and different. Chatters were just jerking each others' chains, rattling each others' self-isolation cages
	5:08pm Stanley: Oi Va Voi! It's been ages since I heard Oi Va Voi
	5:09pm fred: @TDK60: Eclectic is diverse, which is good. I think freeform is personal, which can be great or awful, or anywhere in between, for each listener, and that's kind of the point
	🚂 5:09pm Carmichael: Heya David and statue gazers.
	🚂 5:10pm βrian: Yes, sometimes so awful as to be sadistic.
	5:10pm David Dichelle: Hey Carmichael!
	5:12pm StringOFperils: I've never heard 'eclectic radio' play Tuvan throat singers, or Nyabinghi chanting....ya can't sell stuff in between sets of that
	5:12pm Dean: KCRW most definitely did play Tuvan throat singing.
	5:13pm Soul Captain: Put a note asking for an explanation
	🚂 5:14pm Bas NL: Does KCRW do Polka?
	5:14pm StringOFperils: I stand corrected. That station does meet the dictionary definition of eclectic....but it isn't free. It's about money, ultimately
	5:14pm fred: @βrian: Agreed, but some of the most sadistic shows were the most memorable. Then again, I tuned out of others too fast to remember them
	5:15pm Dean: Also, I think that with respect to WFMU "free-form" characterizes the way the entire station operates and programs, whereas with KCRW "eclectic" referred to the programming and brand of one show. The rest of the station was local gov't, NPR and NPR-ish stuff, nothing special.
	🚂 5:15pm Brian in UK: Eclection were a folksy band in the late Sixties over here.
	🚂 5:15pm βrian: Apoplectic Radio is a favorite among American conservatives.
	5:15pm fred: (I miss Kenny G)
	5:15pm StringOFperils: it proliferates terms...language is a trap. "Language is a virus from outer space."__William S. Burroughs
	🚂 5:16pm chresti: I listened to The Reggae Beat in the 80s, on KCRW.
	5:16pm Dean: Was thinking just a few days ago of Kenny G. The one you're thinking of, fredd. Reggae Beat, hell yes! Steffens, right? He's amazing.
	🚂 5:17pm Carmichael: Speaking of upside-down people, gaze into the blue-green abyss. Can you see them? www.hipgnosiscovers.com...
	5:18pm coelacanth∅: i think eclectic means widely varied in taste &/or execution. freeform applies only to execution and doesn't necessarily mean widely varied but does mean not under a prespecified or imposed upon discipline.
	5:18pm Nick: dave, you know the discussion in germany, the distinction between "Offener Kanal" and "Freies Radio". maybe i don't get it, but that's the first thing in my mind..
	5:18pm TDK60: Thanks for your input, all. I didn't know there is a difference, tend to conflate these. I witnessed free form (or "underground") radio evolve as a teen back in the '60s.
	5:19pm coelacanth∅: (someone probably said something along those lines already. i just came back inside)
	5:19pm Dean: You pretty much captured OED's take, coel.
	5:19pm doctorjazz: There's much overlap, I'm sure, between eclectic and free form. I'd say eclectic can still be programmed; the show is supposed to have a certain content or theme, varied as that may be. Free Form leaves out all to the DJ; they're likely to have some tendencies to certain genres, artists, but they're not told at all what they should be playing. (Some FMU shows are somewhat programmed, like the blues and gospel shows, but even there, the DJ had wide latitude (Matt has a very open sense of what is blues)
	🚂 5:19pm Carmichael: OK, that didn't work. Try this, about halfway down the page (Canada book 4): www.hipgnosiscovers.com...
	🚂 5:19pm chresti: Yes, and Hank Holmes, Dean.
	5:20pm Soul Captain: bit.ly...
	5:20pm TDK60: Chresti, I used to read Reggae & African Beat mag in the 80s.
	5:20pm Soul Captain: Freeform bit.ly...
	5:21pm StringOFperils: these categories are just for the convenience of communicating with one another, but as you can see, they just pile up until you can't get down from the top of the Tower of Babel
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: ("oed"?)
	🚂 5:21pm chresti: I had a couple of those, TDK60.
	5:22pm TDK60: Doc Jazz: Yeh, I dig that blues show of Matt's and how easily wide-ranging it is.
	🚂 5:22pm Bas NL: Music often becomes eclectic 40 years after it became mainstream from being underground.
	🚂 5:22pm βrian: Oxford English Dictionary, of course!
	5:22pm Dean: Oxford English Dictionary
	🚂 5:23pm βrian: "AACR2, " she whispered.
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: ah, okay. i think i'd like one of those
	5:25pm doctorjazz: I've been known to comment on the board of a show I can't listen to. Not sure what that says about me.
	5:25pm Dean: I've been involved with a project, βrian, that has brought to mind AACR2 on occasion. Yeah, OED is hella fun.
	5:26pm coelacanth∅: ...although if i had an oxford english dictionary i'd probably get annoyed even more often than i get now at the obliteration that's well underway of the language.
	5:26pm StringOFperils: this is such a good show. (stating the obvious, I know)
	5:27pm David Dichelle: Thanks, StringOFperils!
	5:28pm David Dichelle: Hello up there (on the comments thread), Soul Captain!
	5:28pm Franco Twinkie: Hmm, Eclectic vs. free form. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I mostly listened to KCRW for the chatter. Their music programming I could only take in small doses. But now, since every one is flipping out all the time, the dj's seem to be less inclined to play the usual well groomed blah. As per our conversation last nigh, Coel, I took Garcia with me on my run to the store awhile ago. Timeless and poignant without been specific.
	5:29pm Dean: One of OED's strengths is its depiction in timelines of examples of usage the evolution of the language, for better or worse. Another is detailed etymology for most entries. The lexicon takes on breadth and depth. In a recent comment on a listserv, βrian, one participant stated, "I've always thought of cataloging as the core of librarianship."
	5:30pm David Dichelle: Nick, I'm not sure if it really translates or if the distinctions are even that clear-cut. For me, freeform has more to do with individual freedom and experimenting, while eclectic just means there is no particular genre. But that's just my sense of it.
	5:31pm David Dichelle: Franco, that is good news about their music, I guess?
	5:32pm TDK60: David, that paragraph seems good for me now. Now, lets' change the topic to clarinets...hee.
	5:32pm StringOFperils: AG--reed
	5:33pm David Dichelle: Good links, by the way, Soul Captain!
	🚂 5:34pm Bas NL: I once read out the dictionary meaning of a word to a six-year old.. She sighed and said: Why do you talk so much?
	5:34pm Dean: Is a basset horn a clarinet?
	🚂 5:34pm βrian: @Dean: I was involved in the Humanities E-Book initiative and we had our own dedicated cataloger. It was a blast to read his disquistions on this or that, and to be exposed to the philosophical context that informed his decisions.
	5:34pm coelacanth∅: oh man, Dean i really should get one. that sounds great! - and i assume it calls slangs slangs, instead of entering them as if they're real words, letting the children argue that they are real words, because they're in the websters. (or the urban dictionary)
	5:34pm Dean: Hey, Bas NL, at least she didn't call you Merriam Webster.
	5:35pm David Dichelle: Dean, it's a freeform clarinet.
	5:35pm coelacanth∅: Franco i forgot! but i'm taking it out now, and psyched again.
	5:36pm Dean: I played clarinet and bass clarinet, and on occasion, eclectic guitar.
	🚂 5:36pm βrian: @Bas: Our six-year old yesterday asked us, "Why are you not turning that off?" (We were enjoying Radio Ravioli.)
	5:36pm coelacanth∅: (i can't take it on my walk though, since i only have it on vinyl and cassette, and only have a cd walkman)
	🚂 5:37pm Brian in UK: Dean is this what you had in mind? www.pets4homes.co.uk...
	🚂 5:37pm Bas NL: @Dean & @βrian ;)
	5:37pm Franco Twinkie: David,well, it might be me letting my critical guard down, just for the relief when I can't stand the news for another second, I think.
	5:37pm Dean: My cataloging professor, Elaine Svenonius, wrote a very good book on the topic long after I graduated, The Conceptual Foundations of Descriptive Cataloging. I had to acquire my own copy.
	5:38pm Dean: Yes, Brian in UK. The clarinet has a sadder, droopier tone.
	5:38pm TDK60: I played clarinet one year in elementary school band. I was awful and gave up music for years.
	5:38pm StringOFperils: BAS HL. perfect response. kids are right on. Language is symbols that point to actual objects. Never let the language obfuscate or replace the actual thing that it points to; that's like being mesmerized by witchcraft. Just open your eyes and your ears, like a kid. It's rich and it's wonderful to be directly connected to the real world, without the intermediary cage of language.
	🚂 5:39pm Brian in UK: I never got much past bibliography.
	5:40pm Dean: I was awful, too, TDK60, but I stuck with it for three years. Also played tenor saxophone. Followed by anything I could use to generate noise.
	5:40pm TDK60: Interesting that Dorsey & Miller were huge with their clarinets in the '30s-'40s, then clarinet seemed to disappear in jazz.
	5:42pm Dean: Giuffre, Daniels, Peplowski, Lacy...
	🚂 5:42pm Brian in UK: Heard that there is a pink moon tonight, not over here.
	🚂 5:42pm Listening Out There: For clarinetists, I'm a fan of Anat Cohen.... :)
	🚂 5:42pm βrian: If you just ignore someone who speaks to you, is that sufficient social distancing?
	5:43pm StringOFperils: Yeah, I was gonna play Nick Drake's PINK MOON today, after sunset.
	🚂 5:44pm Brian in UK: Liberace on clarinet.
	5:46pm TDK60: I love bassoons.
	🚂 5:46pm βrian: I want a parasol with my Pink Moon: www.diffordsguide.com...
	5:47pm StringOFperils: girl drink drunk
	🚂 5:48pm Brian in UK: Thanks David, stay cool everyone.
	5:49pm David Dichelle: I think we're all out of Bob's Lavender Bitters.
	5:49pm TDK60: ..running outta time to discuss bassoons, some other show. Danke David. Stay safe folks -mentally/spiritually too..
	5:50pm David Dichelle: No lavender bitters, but we may have a moon still to go.
	5:51pm David Dichelle: Thanks Brian and TDK60 - good to mention that mental side of things, hope everyone is coping as well as possible.
	5:53pm Martinibomb: Heya David!
	🚂 5:53pm βrian: Instead, I'm settling for a little red from the Wine Car.
	🚂 5:54pm chresti: Ah, yes.
	5:54pm David Dichelle: Hey there Martinibomb!
	5:54pm spodiodi: thanks for keeping us moving, David! see you next time
	🚂 5:55pm Bas NL: Thanks David! Grrreat show!! And thanks all for commenteering..
	5:55pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Spodiodi!
	5:55pm David Dichelle: And Bas!
	5:56pm Martinibomb: Just looking over your most excellent playlist from today. I'm sad I missed the earlier part of your show now.
	🚂 5:56pm chresti: Teddy Wilson orchestra. Thanks mucho, David!
	🚂 5:56pm chris: thanks, David! great stuff!
	5:57pm doctorjazz: Back to Billie, how could you go wrong (these swing song small band recordings are fabulous). Thanks, David, great show!
	5:59pm Martinibomb: Anytime is a good time for Billie but especially now she's a great voice to hear. Thanks David!
	5:59pm doctorjazz: Is that the Garcia solo album you guys were talking about? Might have a digital copy...
	5:59pm StringOFperils: thx a lot
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: my favorite Billie, by far. 1936
	🚂 6:00pm chresti: I wished on the moon, is good too.
	6:00pm David Dichelle: Thanks so much, everyone!
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: Great program David! Thanks take care
