	9:17pm slugluv1313: good evening, Jesse and everyone! yes, gorgeous sounds
	♥ 9:17pm BLCKDGRD: Normally don't get to listen Monday nights so now I am thanks, shows archived have been great, thank you much
	♥ 9:18pm ashestoashes: Hey peepaw, haven't been to Great Barrington since the pandemic but miss it. Hope the giant shrub letters are doing well and your beautiful Mahaiwe. WFMU in the Berkshires and the Green Mountains and everywhere.
	♥ 9:20pm jj.: sweet, welcome to the live zone @BLCKDGRD! thanks for listening on the archive, too.
	9:21pm sgtpeepaw: Ha! The shrub letters are alive and well. Hoping the arts will once again be performed sometime soon! Hope Vermont is holding up just fine. Been a minute since I've been up there.
	♥ 9:21pm jj.: is somebody still trimming the shrub letters or are they shaggy like everybody else?
	9:23pm sgtpeepaw: You know.. I don't know. As far as legibility goes, "GB" still reads! As for myself, well, that's another story..
	♥ 9:24pm ashestoashes: the trimmers of the shrub letters are essential workers.
	9:25pm sgtpeepaw: when will the letters "WFMU" or "FROW" be grown in giant shrubbery?
	9:25pm Rory: Great track here!
	♥ 9:25pm ashestoashes: Come to think of it, has anyone ever seen the letters being trimmed? Ever?
	9:26pm John Purcell: Jesse, you ever listen to LSD March? Some of this track reminds me of them. You might dig.
	♥ 9:26pm ashestoashes: WFMU Shrubbery. That is brilliant.
	♥ 9:28pm jj.: i think we need shrub to carve before there can be frow or WFMU shrubbery. maybe some day i'll do a series of frow chia-heads as a marathon premium & they can be carved into the letters of your choosing.
	♥ 9:28pm jj.: @John - yeah, i dig LSD March! been a while since i played any on the show. probably won't be tonight, but great call.
	9:28pm sgtpeepaw: chia, the forgotten head species
	9:29pm Chris H: Ayo, sweet jamz
	9:30pm John Purcell: @Jesse
	9:31pm John Purcell: (supposed to be a thumbs up)

	♥ 10:27pm jj.: hey matt! yeah, sahel sounds is the real deal. these "music for saharan whatsapp" EPs are self-combusting, too, deleted from bandcamp after 30 days or something.
	10:35pm Rory: Love that cosmic lap steel sound! Great stuff!
	10:38pm John Purcell: Jesse, what's a good music documentary you've liked lately?
	10:38pm JakeGould: @Rory: How was Memorial Day in the S.F. Bay?
	♥ 10:41pm jj.: @john - tbh, my head hasn't really been in a movie-watching space of late, but i will note that there's lot of music docs available to rent to help support WFMU! wfmu.org...
	10:42pm John Purcell: @Jesse Thanks for the heads-up!
