Listener comments!
	6:00pm brainiac: "I Have Nothing To Say" and I'm saying it.
	6:01pm ultradamno: The sun rises over eternity? I'm already mad at this.
	6:02pm ultradamno: Though so far I can imagine it as a Sonic Youth intro interlude.
	6:03pm ultradamno: ...which does make it very 1985.
	6:04pm Handy Haversack: We don't get parts I-V? The Glisteners can take it!
	6:04pm ultradamno: Just doesn't sound like what a movement this into marathons would be into, I'm not getting pumped at all.
	6:05pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Micah and everyone.
	6:05pm loveless: Wow, this is calming and I'm enjoying it much too much. Have I been converted?

	6:07pm mrmikestandsir: oooooooooooh aaaaaaahhhhhhhh
	6:07pm steveo: My lights are on, but I'm not home My mind is not my own
	6:07pm ultradamno: Has the flutist been there the whole time or was he or she tardy?
	6:07pm mariano: Oh, Chinmoy. John McLaughlin and Santana's guru. I remember seeing flyers for him all over NYC back in the 90s.
	6:08pm Handy Haversack: Sri Chimnoy was omnipresent for a while, yeah.
	6:08pm brainiac: Good evening, Starburst.
	6:09pm Devadip: I'm changing my name to Devadip.
	6:09pm ultradamno: About as literal-minded as album covers come www.fondsound.com...
	6:09pm mariano: Far as I know Chinmoy wasn't that bad, certainly no Jim Jones of Bhagwan. He did stuff like pull 18-wheelers with his teeth though, always thought that was a bit curious. Welcome, Devadip Brainiac!
	6:10pm dale: herro. thought that sounded like popul vuh
	6:10pm mariano: *...or Bhagwan
	6:10pm Colleen: God damned neighbors... hahaha
	6:10pm Peter from Dover NJ: Micah, I can't hear the neighbors. But it must be a hella distraction for you.
	6:10pm Devadip: @mariano: you may kiss my robes
	6:10pm Handy Haversack: I dunno, Mariano, a lot of those wheelers were under 18 and could not give legal consent.
	6:10pm ultradamno: Mine are the worst about that, I think they have to smoke weed outside or something... ...and then with the goddamn motorcycle.
	6:12pm Handy Haversack: Today was the first time my neighbors ALSO had music going out back (it's Brooklyn -- we ALL should), and it was super cool Bangladeshi stuff. I was digging it during Michele's set breaks.
	6:13pm mariano: Lol Handy. Those trucks sure looked 18.
	6:14pm Devadip: @Handy: May you not be drawn into stereo wars or thought reform with the neighbors.
	6:14pm Handy Haversack: CONVOY!
	6:14pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Wikipedia claims that Atmananda (a.k.a. Zen Master Rama) was a student of Chinmoy's.
	6:15pm ron-ji: Shen Yummy!
	6:15pm ultradamno: Dancing about communism makes as much sense as architecture.
	6:15pm Handy Haversack: Yes, totally, I remember that.
	6:16pm JakeGould: “Falun Gong” = “Shen Yun” = “Epoch Times”
	6:16pm Kat in Chicago: Oh yeah, I see posters for that Shen Yun thing all over the place every year.
	6:17pm Threemoons: Evening Micah, fellow Mind Controllers...
	6:17pm Devadip: I plan to get Falun down drunk tonight, Danny Boy
	6:18pm ultradamno: My Old Kentucky Home?
	6:18pm prudy: Danny Boy in Mandarin?
	6:18pm Handy Haversack: (Off topic, but does anyone know anything about dried "Costeno" peppers and how hot they are compared to, like, dried ancho peppers?) YES, prudy!
	6:18pm mariano: I was never clear on Falun Dafa, whether a cult or oppressed religious minority, maybe a bit of both? Nice ripoff of "Danny Boy" though: I can just see Albert Finney with his tommy gun!
	6:19pm Jeezuseffinchrist: this is 100% Danny Boy
	6:19pm thesecoronalives: this guy musta heard danny boy in the background somewhere..
	6:20pm mariano: The Albert Finney scene in "Miller's Crossing" I referenced, for later viewing, and to prove I wasn't having a stroke as I finished my last comment: www.youtube.com...
	6:20pm thesecoronalives: dammit.
	6:20pm ultradamno: Hey, wine glasses! It's been awhile.
	6:21pm ultradamno: ...or maybe particularly glassy sounding bells. Nice though.
	6:21pm prudy: so what was culty about Falun Dafa? opposition to the chinese gov't seems pretty rational...
	6:23pm mariano: I like this Crystal, but I've always been a sucker for bells, chimes, and glass harps.
	6:23pm ultradamno: How cult like it is I'm not sure, but it is widely defined as a "new religious movement" which would put it within M's scope
	6:23pm Devadip: Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today To get through this thing called ... Tainshu
	6:23pm mariano: Is Tainshu related to Wing? Gaaah! The out-of-control vibrato is causing my windows to rattle!
	6:24pm ron-ji: This one is freeeeee keeeeee
	6:24pm ultradamno: If this wasn't performed with some spectacular costumes then I fail to see the point.
	6:24pm Fuzzy: Mrs. Miller dat you?
	6:24pm (((Murakami Whywolf): Evidently they belief that there is a swastika-shaped energy centre in every human being (not a Nazi thing, the swastika is very Buddhist) and that Asians' energy centres are better than others'. They claim not to be racist, but here's their founder: The races in the world are not allowed to be mixed up. Now, the races are mixed up and it has brought about an extraordinarily serious problem. Once races are mixed up, one does not have a corresponding relationship with the higher levels, and he has lost the root. Mixed races have lost their roots, as if nobody in the paradise will take care of them.
	6:25pm mariano: (((Murakami Whywolf): Eeee-yikes.
	6:26pm Devadip: Sounds pretty Nazi to me.
	6:26pm prudy: thanks Ultra...often I forget the show is about religious movements also...
	6:26pm ultradamno: Certainly as racially purist as you could ask for...
	6:27pm JakeGould: Falun Gong/Dafa = Shen Yun = Epoch Times The way I understand it is they are interested in preserving the non-tainted Chinese culture that used to exist before Communism. Sounds benevolent, but it’s always centered on racial purity as Murakami Whywolf explains. So the pitch is like: “We want to preseve Chinese culture…” And then when you go deeper: “The Communist party has stifled our voice, but we want a pure China… Free of Communist influence and outside influence…” They are basically like “States Rights” loons who still whine about the Confederacy.
	6:28pm Carmichael: Dammit, I missed the first half! Did I miss the Pedophile spotlight?!?
	6:28pm mariano: Of course, to be fair, it wasn't so long ago that many mainstream Christian denominations had the same attitudes. Some still do (looking at you, Southern Baptist Convention) but they've learned to dress up their language.
	6:28pm Devadip: Herlong needs a haircut.
	6:28pm dale: carmichael - yes, but a salute to rape is about to come up.
	6:29pm Carmichael: Brainiac, did you steal Santana's name?
	6:29pm mariano: "Family values" = "We believe people should stick with their own kind."
	6:29pm Carmichael: Good news/bad news, Dale ...
	6:29pm The Butterman: This is fucking terrific!
	6:29pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: If they are willing to get members to sell kidneys to fund their efforts, bet you anything “sex trafficking” is part of the finance portfolio.
	6:29pm Devadip: @Carm: I seen th' light, brother
	6:29pm ultradamno: The ratio of plaintive singing seems high in this ep. Not that I'm esp. missing satanist growling or xtian rapping, mind you
	6:29pm Kat in Chicago: Hoo boy.
	6:29pm Handy Haversack: @Mariano, it's an inescapable mental accompaniment to "Danny Boy" now.
	6:29pm Carmichael: Master of breaking wind.
	6:29pm prudy: Mariano: alot of missionary work was and still is based on ideas of racial superiority...
	6:30pm The Butterman: My middle name is Larry.
	6:30pm dale: englebert humperdinck sounds kinda lo fi.
	6:30pm Peter from Dover NJ: Handy from 6:18. Ancho chiles, 1000-4000 Scovill units. Red costeño peppers, 3500-5000 Scovill; costeño amarillo, 1200-2000 Scovill. Just keep away from those Scotch Bonnet peppers.
	6:30pm ultradamno: OK, how did you and the master of the wind meet? At Poseidon's place?
	6:31pm Carmichael: He looks like Cam on Modern Family.
	6:31pm Devadip: Hey, the birdies were singing just like at the end of Layla.
	6:31pm prudy: Poseidon had the superior pad...
	6:31pm mariano: Not a bad scene to have stuck in one's head, Handy. And Miller's Crossing was all shot in New Orleans, it's a gorgeously-shot film. Prudy: yeah, I hear you, all about "spreading civilization".
	6:32pm ultradamno: Oh, my. He really does have an Eric Stonestreet look about him www.youtube.com...
	6:32pm Handy Haversack: @Peter: Thanks! That helps a lot. @The "Larry" Butterman: really?
	6:33pm ?: please tell me this is from a cassette - god im leaking already
	6:33pm Carmichael: Here's a site that "outs" him: old.freedomofmind.com...
	6:33pm Carmichael: It's probably an 8 track.
	6:33pm ultradamno: Like if Cam had a bitter older brother.
	6:34pm mariano: PeterFDNJ: Scotch bonnets are so good though, there's a Haitian street food place near me that sells an incredible Scotch-bonnet/citrus hot sauce. I'm no burn fetishist, but 2 or 3 drops on some food really has a way of livening up the flavor, no real burn, just a nice tingle.
	6:34pm Devadip: "Ya gots a bad spirit." i.ytimg.com...
	6:35pm Carmichael: And Larry lives in ... <wait for it> ... Minnesota!
	6:35pm ultradamno: Dogs keep their eyes on the prize...snausages.
	6:35pm The Butterman: Fuckin Larry! It’s always Larry. Larry and Heff.
	💆 6:35pm chris: hippy doo-doo rock!
	6:36pm prudy: ok Micah, what do you have on the Farm?
	6:36pm The Butterman: Larry and Jeff I meant. Lots of Jeffs around.
	6:36pm mariano: Carm: Matt and Leah Swogger? Why do so many extreme Christian fundamentalist leaders seem to have been named by Dickens? Oral Roberts, Rex Humbard, Jimmy Swaggart...
	6:36pm ultradamno: There's got to be a walk into traffic cult to help with that.
	6:36pm Handy Haversack: Kate and I have pretty iron stomachs and prewaxed tongues. Torn between chopping the dinner veggies outside in the sunset with Micah and you fine people or inside listening to Kate and her Mpls friends download what's going on on one another ...
	6:37pm Kat in Chicago: Hippie doo-doo rock!
	6:37pm ultradamno: That there's a last name Jeffs really puts it over.
	6:38pm Devadip: Up In Your Thing - yeah, totally monogamously righteous, man.
	6:38pm dale: this is better than most poco. i approve.
	6:38pm Carmichael: The Farm band, man.
	6:38pm ultradamno: When you come up with the idea of titling a song 'Think It Over' and go forward with it, it proves you needed to think it over.
	6:39pm litmus0001: Holy cats!!! I knew a bunch of people from The Farm in Tennessee, when I lived in Nashville in the 90s! One of them.owned a house, and every Weds they'd have a drum circle. It was a blast!
	6:39pm Carmichael: Typical silly 70s cool rock.
	6:39pm Devadip: Did you think it over yet?
	6:40pm ultradamno: The flares these people wore must have been extreme.
	6:40pm (Murakami Whywolf))): In 1981 or so I heard an interview with a few of them on KPFK (the L.A. equivalent of WBAI, but much, much, worse back then). They spent most of their time railing against abortion.
	6:40pm Carmichael: This sounds A LOT like We Are Friends by Feather.
	6:41pm ultradamno: Also, I bet the singer tapped his forehead with his finger while singing to stress your need to think over it.
	6:41pm (((Murakami Whywolf): Damn! They kept on going just when I thought it over.
	6:41pm mariano: litmus0001: Bet Nashville in the 90s was a cool place to be. Never spent much time there, but I've always heard great things about it. Got accepted to Vanderbilt in the late 80s and turned it down for another place, sometimes I wish I'd taken it.
	6:41pm prudy: against abortion? I wonder if that was a FARM position...
	6:41pm Devadip: No, NOT THE FIDDLE
	6:42pm dale: it's mckendree spring fiddling.
	6:42pm The Butterman: This is just Phish with a fiddle.
	6:42pm mariano: Not exactly my cup of tea, Farm Band, but at least they're playing competently enough.
	6:42pm ultradamno: I bet the fiddler hadn't thought it over. That was not what he showed up to do, nossir.
	6:42pm prudy: getting a bit tedious...
	6:42pm dale: more than you care to know here. savagesaints.blogspot.com...
	6:43pm prudy: Phishn' Fiddle...
	6:43pm Carmichael: Yawn ...
	6:44pm Devadip: God, I can smell the compost heap from here.
	6:44pm Kat in Chicago: Well, they’re certainly giving us plenty of time to think it over...
	6:44pm dale: i dig it. but the drummer just got a new cymbal and had to practice his crashes constantly.
	6:44pm ultradamno: Damn 70s hippies and their faux aged paper and calligraphy.
	6:44pm mariano: "The Farm is an intentional community..." There are unintentional communities?
	6:44pm Carmichael: The guitar player wears his belt sideways cuz ... well, he's a guitar player.
	6:45pm ultradamno: This IS going on for awhile, but I approve of the singer's absence.
	6:45pm Carmichael: They're waaay up in our thing.
	6:45pm The Butterman: Shit, I just made faux aged paper and did lots of calligraphy today, no lie!
	6:45pm JakeGould: @MurakamiWhywolf: “They spent most of their time railing against abortion.” That position coming from a group centered in China is most likely based on the China’s “one-child policy.” Their point of view is most likely “The government cannot tell you what to do with your body! And a woman’s choice is to have a child or be considered impure…” Meaning if the woman doesn’t have a child, it’s because she knows she is not a true member of her race anyway so whatever. Great stuff!
	6:45pm Devadip: It was complicated and required a lot of thinking it over: "The “four marriage system” was viewed as an important social structure in the early days of the commune. Gaskin himself was in a “six marriage” in which there were three women and two other men (the third man deciding not to participate)."
	6:46pm Handy Haversack: This really is doodoo hippie rock.
	6:46pm mariano: Yeah forget what I said about the competent playing; that was before I realized they'd be playing competently for so long.
	6:46pm ultradamno: Are we not of time yet? It seems like we should be out of time after that.
	6:46pm Carmichael: Butterman, you're a filthy hippie, apparently.
	6:46pm TDK60: Hello. I knew several hippie sorts who visited the Farm over years, mainly '70s. They told me it was okay, but they wanted more freedom.
	6:47pm JakeGould: @MurakamiWhywolf: Unless you are talking about other nut jobs played later then whatever…
	6:47pm The Butterman: When did the term “intentional community” replace “cult”?
	6:48pm ultradamno: Is antifa an unintentional community?
	6:48pm The Butterman: Damn, Carmichael! What can I do? Been like this for years.
	6:49pm Carmichael: Cool, disco euro-dance nonsensical lyrics cult.
	6:49pm ultradamno: I've heard good things about healing light lately.
	6:49pm Devadip: Somebody please cut the (power) cord.
	6:50pm Devadip: The future is stupid.
	6:50pm JakeGould: @Ultradamno: So you are saying I need to throw out all of my Himalayan salt chunks?
	6:50pm The Butterman: Music with a good steady beat I can dance to.
	6:51pm mrdonutsu: This makes me miss Unicole.
	6:51pm ultradamno: They could work in tandem. Experiment with refractions who knows what could happen.
	6:51pm mariano: Uh, what the hell is going on here?
	6:51pm Carmichael: Awesome, look at 0:21: www.youtube.com...
	6:52pm (Murakami Whywolf))): JakeGould: —and all: my apologies. I was writing of people from The Farm on KPFA c.1981, Falun Dafa didn't exist back then. It was pretty interesting becaus I'm pretty sure the host of the show was very much for abortion rights. Ah!, that's it: it started to get creepy when they talked about taking-in runaways, and if they were pregnant, trying to persuade them not to abort, listening I had to wonder just how much pressure they were exerting.
	6:52pm JakeGould: How about a lava lamp with Himalayan salt chunks and a healing light?
	6:52pm mariano: Oh God, she's another Westerner cosplaying as an Indian: www.youtube.com...
	6:52pm Kat in Chicago: Wow, saved the worst for last!
	6:52pm ultradamno: I feel like there was a conversation happening in that the listener isn't invited into.
	6:52pm Carmichael: WTF? Did she just morph into Ally & AJ?
	6:53pm ultradamno: Are there UV lava lamps?
	6:53pm (((Murakami Whywolf): My wife and I are in a '100-marriage' with 98 other people we don't know (and whose identities we don't know) and who aren't participating.
	6:53pm ultradamno: They are absolutely singing with their hands outstretched.
	6:54pm Devadip: Micah, I never want your show to end.
	6:54pm Carmichael: She is waaaay out there: www.youtube.com...
	6:55pm Carmichael: @Murukami, just call it a collective and you're good.
	6:55pm ultradamno: Flower head band and wand, that tracks.
	6:55pm micah: thank you for always shine your light on me, everybody
	6:56pm JakeGould: @MurakamiWhywolf: No problem! All these loons just want to control women’s body’s and are obsessed with some kind of “purity” anyway so it all blurs into each other anyway.
	6:56pm Carmichael: Yeah Micah, get your own stream.
	💆 6:56pm Kevin-san: I love this show!
	6:56pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Carmichael: I'm a Reform Hippie: I don't smoke that much dope and never have, and I bathe frequently. Actually, maybe I'm only Culturally Hippie.
	6:56pm JakeGould: Thanks Micah!
	6:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Micah! Be cool, everyone. And, you know, pissed off.
	6:57pm JakeGould: @Handy: Everyone has a speedball of feels in them nowadays.
	6:57pm mariano: Thank you micah and crew, take care everyone!
	6:57pm (((Murakami Whywolf): Is O-Hulk actually O-Bruce-Banner when he isn't especially angry?
	6:58pm ultradamno: Who wants a sun on earth? Hydrogen bombs aren't enough? Shut these people down!
	6:58pm Devadip: You know what they say: It's better to be pissed off than a victim of alien abduction.
	6:59pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Not to get too political, but it's worth noting that the current President's childhood religion of Positive Thinking is much more like a Newage religion than like Christianity.
	6:59pm ultradamno: You know, I've spent a lot of time on rural back roads. At this point, fuck those snooty aliens.

	6:14pm Devadip: @Handy: May you not be drawn into stereo wars or thought reform with the neighbors.

	6:21pm prudy: so what was culty about Falun Dafa? opposition to the chinese gov't seems pretty rational...
	6:23pm mariano: I like this Crystal, but I've always been a sucker for bells, chimes, and glass harps.
	6:23pm ultradamno: How cult like it is I'm not sure, but it is widely defined as a "new religious movement" which would put it within M's scope

They claim not to be racist, but here's their founder: The races in the world are not allowed to be mixed up. Now, the races are mixed up and it has brought about an extraordinarily serious problem. Once races are mixed up, one does not have a corresponding relationship with the higher levels, and he has lost the root. Mixed races have lost their roots, as if nobody in the paradise will take care of them.
	6:25pm mariano: (((Murakami Whywolf): Eeee-yikes.
	6:26pm Devadip: Sounds pretty Nazi to me.
	6:26pm prudy: thanks Ultra...often I forget the show is about religious movements also...
	6:26pm ultradamno: Certainly as racially purist as you could ask for...
	6:27pm JakeGould: Falun Gong/Dafa = Shen Yun = Epoch Times The way I understand it is they are interested in preserving the non-tainted Chinese culture that used to exist before Communism. Sounds benevolent, but it’s always centered on racial purity as Murakami Whywolf explains. So the pitch is like: “We want to preseve Chinese culture…” And then when you go deeper: “The Communist party has stifled our voice, but we want a pure China… Free of Communist influence and outside influence…” They are basically like “States Rights” loons who still whine about the Confederacy.
	6:28pm Carmichael: Dammit, I missed the first half! Did I miss the Pedophile spotlight?!?
	6:28pm mariano: Of course, to be fair, it wasn't so long ago that many mainstream Christian denominations had the same attitudes. Some still do (looking at you, Southern Baptist Convention) but they've learned to dress up their language.
	6:28pm Devadip: Herlong needs a haircut.
	6:28pm dale: carmichael - yes, but a salute to rape is about to come up.
	6:29pm Carmichael: Brainiac, did you steal Santana's name?
	6:29pm mariano: "Family values" = "We believe people should stick with their own kind."
	6:29pm Carmichael: Good news/bad news, Dale ...
	6:29pm The Butterman: This is fucking terrific!
	6:29pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: If they are willing to get members to sell kidneys to fund their efforts, bet you anything “sex trafficking” is part of the finance portfolio.
	6:29pm Devadip: @Carm: I seen th' light, brother
	6:29pm ultradamno: The ratio of plaintive singing seems high in this ep. Not that I'm esp. missing satanist growling or xtian rapping, mind you
	6:29pm Kat in Chicago: Hoo boy.
	6:29pm Handy Haversack: @Mariano, it's an inescapable mental accompaniment to "Danny Boy" now.
	6:29pm Carmichael: Master of breaking wind.
	6:29pm prudy: Mariano: alot of missionary work was and still is based on ideas of racial superiority...
	6:30pm The Butterman: My middle name is Larry.
	6:30pm dale: englebert humperdinck sounds kinda lo fi.
	6:30pm Peter from Dover NJ: Handy from 6:18. Ancho chiles, 1000-4000 Scovill units. Red costeño peppers, 3500-5000 Scovill; costeño amarillo, 1200-2000 Scovill. Just keep away from those Scotch Bonnet peppers.
	6:30pm ultradamno: OK, how did you and the master of the wind meet? At Poseidon's place?
	6:31pm Carmichael: He looks like Cam on Modern Family.
	6:31pm Devadip: Hey, the birdies were singing just like at the end of Layla.
	6:31pm prudy: Poseidon had the superior pad...
	6:31pm mariano: Not a bad scene to have stuck in one's head, Handy. And Miller's Crossing was all shot in New Orleans, it's a gorgeously-shot film. Prudy: yeah, I hear you, all about "spreading civilization".
	6:32pm ultradamno: Oh, my. He really does have an Eric Stonestreet look about him www.youtube.com...
	6:32pm Handy Haversack: @Peter: Thanks! That helps a lot. @The "Larry" Butterman: really?
	6:33pm ?: please tell me this is from a cassette - god im leaking already
	6:33pm Carmichael: Here's a site that "outs" him: old.freedomofmind.com...
	6:33pm Carmichael: It's probably an 8 track.
	6:33pm ultradamno: Like if Cam had a bitter older brother.
	6:34pm mariano: PeterFDNJ: Scotch bonnets are so good though, there's a Haitian street food place near me that sells an incredible Scotch-bonnet/citrus hot sauce. I'm no burn fetishist, but 2 or 3 drops on some food really has a way of livening up the flavor, no real burn, just a nice tingle.
	6:34pm Devadip: "Ya gots a bad spirit." i.ytimg.com...
	6:35pm Carmichael: And Larry lives in ... <wait for it> ... Minnesota!
	6:35pm ultradamno: Dogs keep their eyes on the prize...snausages.
	6:35pm The Butterman: Fuckin Larry! It’s always Larry. Larry and Heff.
	💆 6:35pm chris: hippy doo-doo rock!
	6:36pm prudy: ok Micah, what do you have on the Farm?
	6:36pm The Butterman: Larry and Jeff I meant. Lots of Jeffs around.
	6:36pm mariano: Carm: Matt and Leah Swogger? Why do so many extreme Christian fundamentalist leaders seem to have been named by Dickens? Oral Roberts, Rex Humbard, Jimmy Swaggart...
	6:36pm ultradamno: There's got to be a walk into traffic cult to help with that.
	6:36pm Handy Haversack: Kate and I have pretty iron stomachs and prewaxed tongues. Torn between chopping the dinner veggies outside in the sunset with Micah and you fine people or inside listening to Kate and her Mpls friends download what's going on on one another ...
	6:37pm Kat in Chicago: Hippie doo-doo rock!
	6:37pm ultradamno: That there's a last name Jeffs really puts it over.
	6:38pm Devadip: Up In Your Thing - yeah, totally monogamously righteous, man.
	6:38pm dale: this is better than most poco. i approve.
	6:38pm Carmichael: The Farm band, man.
	6:38pm ultradamno: When you come up with the idea of titling a song 'Think It Over' and go forward with it, it proves you needed to think it over.
	6:39pm litmus0001: Holy cats!!! I knew a bunch of people from The Farm in Tennessee, when I lived in Nashville in the 90s! One of them.owned a house, and every Weds they'd have a drum circle. It was a blast!
	6:39pm Carmichael: Typical silly 70s cool rock.
	6:39pm Devadip: Did you think it over yet?
	6:40pm ultradamno: The flares these people wore must have been extreme.
	6:40pm (Murakami Whywolf))): In 1981 or so I heard an interview with a few of them on KPFK (the L.A. equivalent of WBAI, but much, much, worse back then). They spent most of their time railing against abortion.
	6:40pm Carmichael: This sounds A LOT like We Are Friends by Feather.
	6:41pm ultradamno: Also, I bet the singer tapped his forehead with his finger while singing to stress your need to think over it.
	6:41pm (((Murakami Whywolf): Damn! They kept on going just when I thought it over.
	6:41pm mariano: litmus0001: Bet Nashville in the 90s was a cool place to be. Never spent much time there, but I've always heard great things about it. Got accepted to Vanderbilt in the late 80s and turned it down for another place, sometimes I wish I'd taken it.
	6:41pm prudy: against abortion? I wonder if that was a FARM position...
	6:41pm Devadip: No, NOT THE FIDDLE
	6:42pm dale: it's mckendree spring fiddling.
	6:42pm The Butterman: This is just Phish with a fiddle.
	6:42pm mariano: Not exactly my cup of tea, Farm Band, but at least they're playing competently enough.
	6:42pm ultradamno: I bet the fiddler hadn't thought it over. That was not what he showed up to do, nossir.
	6:42pm prudy: getting a bit tedious...
	6:42pm dale: more than you care to know here. savagesaints.blogspot.com...
	6:43pm prudy: Phishn' Fiddle...
	6:43pm Carmichael: Yawn ...
	6:44pm Devadip: God, I can smell the compost heap from here.
	6:44pm Kat in Chicago: Well, they’re certainly giving us plenty of time to think it over...
	6:44pm dale: i dig it. but the drummer just got a new cymbal and had to practice his crashes constantly.
	6:44pm ultradamno: Damn 70s hippies and their faux aged paper and calligraphy.
	6:44pm mariano: "The Farm is an intentional community..." There are unintentional communities?
	6:44pm Carmichael: The guitar player wears his belt sideways cuz ... well, he's a guitar player.
	6:45pm ultradamno: This IS going on for awhile, but I approve of the singer's absence.
	6:45pm Carmichael: They're waaay up in our thing.
	6:45pm The Butterman: Shit, I just made faux aged paper and did lots of calligraphy today, no lie!
	6:45pm JakeGould: @MurakamiWhywolf: “They spent most of their time railing against abortion.” That position coming from a group centered in China is most likely based on the China’s “one-child policy.” Their point of view is most likely “The government cannot tell you what to do with your body! And a woman’s choice is to have a child or be considered impure…” Meaning if the woman doesn’t have a child, it’s because she knows she is not a true member of her race anyway so whatever. Great stuff!
	6:45pm Devadip: It was complicated and required a lot of thinking it over: "The “four marriage system” was viewed as an important social structure in the early days of the commune. Gaskin himself was in a “six marriage” in which there were three women and two other men (the third man deciding not to participate)."
	6:46pm Handy Haversack: This really is doodoo hippie rock.
	6:46pm mariano: Yeah forget what I said about the competent playing; that was before I realized they'd be playing competently for so long.
	6:46pm ultradamno: Are we not of time yet? It seems like we should be out of time after that.
	6:46pm Carmichael: Butterman, you're a filthy hippie, apparently.
	6:46pm TDK60: Hello. I knew several hippie sorts who visited the Farm over years, mainly '70s. They told me it was okay, but they wanted more freedom.
	6:47pm JakeGould: @MurakamiWhywolf: Unless you are talking about other nut jobs played later then whatever…
	6:47pm The Butterman: When did the term “intentional community” replace “cult”?
	6:48pm ultradamno: Is antifa an unintentional community?
	6:48pm The Butterman: Damn, Carmichael! What can I do? Been like this for years.
	6:49pm Carmichael: Cool, disco euro-dance nonsensical lyrics cult.
	6:49pm ultradamno: I've heard good things about healing light lately.
	6:49pm Devadip: Somebody please cut the (power) cord.
	6:50pm Devadip: The future is stupid.
	6:50pm JakeGould: @Ultradamno: So you are saying I need to throw out all of my Himalayan salt chunks?
	6:50pm The Butterman: Music with a good steady beat I can dance to.
	6:51pm mrdonutsu: This makes me miss Unicole.
	6:51pm ultradamno: They could work in tandem. Experiment with refractions who knows what could happen.
	6:51pm mariano: Uh, what the hell is going on here?
	6:51pm Carmichael: Awesome, look at 0:21: www.youtube.com...
	6:52pm (Murakami Whywolf))): JakeGould: —and all: my apologies. I was writing of people from The Farm on KPFA c.1981, Falun Dafa didn't exist back then. It was pretty interesting becaus I'm pretty sure the host of the show was very much for abortion rights. Ah!, that's it: it started to get creepy when they talked about taking-in runaways, and if they were pregnant, trying to persuade them not to abort, listening I had to wonder just how much pressure they were exerting.
	6:52pm JakeGould: How about a lava lamp with Himalayan salt chunks and a healing light?
	6:52pm mariano: Oh God, she's another Westerner cosplaying as an Indian: www.youtube.com...
	6:52pm Kat in Chicago: Wow, saved the worst for last!
	6:52pm ultradamno: I feel like there was a conversation happening in that the listener isn't invited into.
	6:52pm Carmichael: WTF? Did she just morph into Ally & AJ?
	6:53pm ultradamno: Are there UV lava lamps?
	6:53pm (((Murakami Whywolf): My wife and I are in a '100-marriage' with 98 other people we don't know (and whose identities we don't know) and who aren't participating.
	6:53pm ultradamno: They are absolutely singing with their hands outstretched.
	6:54pm Devadip: Micah, I never want your show to end.
	6:54pm Carmichael: She is waaaay out there: www.youtube.com...
	6:55pm Carmichael: @Murukami, just call it a collective and you're good.
	6:55pm ultradamno: Flower head band and wand, that tracks.
	6:55pm micah: thank you for always shine your light on me, everybody
	6:56pm JakeGould: @MurakamiWhywolf: No problem! All these loons just want to control women’s body’s and are obsessed with some kind of “purity” anyway so it all blurs into each other anyway.
	6:56pm Carmichael: Yeah Micah, get your own stream.
	💆 6:56pm Kevin-san: I love this show!
	6:56pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Carmichael: I'm a Reform Hippie: I don't smoke that much dope and never have, and I bathe frequently. Actually, maybe I'm only Culturally Hippie.
	6:56pm JakeGould: Thanks Micah!
	6:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Micah! Be cool, everyone. And, you know, pissed off.
	6:57pm JakeGould: @Handy: Everyone has a speedball of feels in them nowadays.
	6:57pm mariano: Thank you micah and crew, take care everyone!
	6:57pm (((Murakami Whywolf): Is O-Hulk actually O-Bruce-Banner when he isn't especially angry?
	6:58pm ultradamno: Who wants a sun on earth? Hydrogen bombs aren't enough? Shut these people down!
	6:58pm Devadip: You know what they say: It's better to be pissed off than a victim of alien abduction.
	6:59pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Not to get too political, but it's worth noting that the current President's childhood religion of Positive Thinking is much more like a Newage religion than like Christianity.
	6:59pm ultradamno: You know, I've spent a lot of time on rural back roads. At this point, fuck those snooty aliens.
