WFMU: Bodega Pop with Gary Sullivan: Playlist from August 5, 2020

Listener comments!
	♥ 8/4 4:29am Gary: Are you exasperated by the length and idiocy of the Bodega Pop opening theme? Do you feel safe and comfortable hearing it before each show? Please take our 5-second survey and let us know! www.surveymonkey.com...
	♥ 6:53pm listener james from westwood: Indonesia! This very day I proofread a chapter in a college textbook about ethnomusicology that focused on Bali!
	♥ 6:55pm chresti: Hey Bodega Gary show!
	♥ 6:55pm Gary: Whoa, lucky you, James! Hi Chresti!
	6:55pm LambdaCalculus: Evening, Gary!
	♥ 6:56pm Gary: Welcome, LambdaCalculus!
	6:58pm LambdaCalculus: I took the survey, but I did want to mention that I always look forward to the opening because it's the mood setter!
	♥ 6:59pm Gary: About 77% of survey participants agree with you so far, LC
	7:04pm northguineahills: Any Senyawa tonight!
	♥ 7:05pm listener james from westwood: Counterpoint: Terre T's intro was, or at least felt, 45 minutes long. Yours is like a half a punk song by comparison.
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: NGH!
	7:06pm Dean: I'm agnostic, but it seems to me that one measurable factor independent of listener opinion should carry some weight, namely, how often has the show ended either a little bit overtime or without your being able to play one final track for fear of going overtime? If occasionally, then sure, shorten the theme. If not, what's the harm?
	♥ 7:07pm Gary: Dean! I'm usually short on tracks and have to add one or two in at the last minute
	7:09pm Dean: Well, then, let's have a longer intro theme!
	7:10pm βrian: Golly, This Yanti is nice.
	♥ 7:10pm fred: I usually listen to archives, and I love hearing the intro Also, Senyawa was one of the Sonic Protest shows canceled this year. But I had already seen them twice, and even got to chat with Wukir Suryadi once, at a show where he didn't play. Cool guy
	♥ 7:12pm Gary: βrian and Fred!
	7:13pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and Indos.
	♥ 7:14pm Gary: Carmichael!
	♥ 7:14pm david w: Gary! (I like the intro, but I love all of you!)
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: haha, you're too kind, David!
	♥ 7:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Myself I think the Intro should be played backwards @ the end as an Outro.
	♥ 7:19pm Michael 98145: g'day popsters
	♥ 7:19pm Gary: RevRab and Michael, come on in!
	♥ 7:21pm Michael 98145: nasi goreng time
	♥ 7:22pm Michael 98145: w/ Sambal, of course
	♥ 7:26pm chresti: Indonesian music is already psychedelic to me.
	♥ 7:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's Fine Wine with Downtown Soulville - talks moderate to little amount - wham bam 23 or 24 amazing 45s in an hour. I think that comes from Dance DJ culture. Gaylord Fields who weaves a cinematic tapestry with the occasional bit of edifying or reflective commentary on a track... It's easy to take for granted how distinct DJ styles are one from another. The Drummer Stream generally feels like back rooms with cushier more lived in furniture...
	7:30pm LambdaCalculus: I don't know why for a second, I thought this was Dara Puspita until I flipped back to the playlist to check!
	♥ 7:31pm chresti: Fine Wine has 1 hour, I think that mostly is the reason for the wham bam.
	♥ 7:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so...the Bodega theme establishes the idea of how you acquire musics & your relation to it - & both the diverse street culture quality of it with the 'streets are crazy' part - & then friendliness & humor with the Nellie as contrasting information. This seems canny & effective programming to me...& then we go wherever for hours anyhow.
	♥ 7:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @chresti yeah.
	♥ 7:36pm Gary: Every so often I go down a rabbit hole of Home Improvements for the show, I guess. Spurred on this time by a sound upgrade that I'm not even sure you can hear on your end, since we broadcast out at 128 kpbs
	7:37pm Dean: Do you have a link to this Sound of Sunda? Would love to learn more about it. Do you know this Nimbus record? https://www.discogs.com/Imas-Permas-Asep-Kosasih-Tembang-Sunda-Sundanese-Classical-Songs/release/13893225
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: Dean, it's at: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 7:39pm Gary: I don't believe I know that one, Dean
	♥ 7:40pm chresti: The more laid back aspect might be due to the Drummer and other streams having less legal constraints put on them by the Man. @RevRab.
	♥ 7:41pm chresti: This is super.
	♥ 7:41pm Michael 98145: no sound complaints ever from this node
	♥ 7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Part of it yeah. It's great the streams have their own qualities; the Drummer Stream is not the main stream .02 or -1 ...
	7:43pm Dean: Nimbus has been a treasure trove for classical musics from various parts of the world. That Tembang Sunda record is pretty amazing.
	♥ 7:46pm Gary: I'll have to look out for it
	♥ 7:46pm Michael 98145: Enjoying hearing all this. Yes.
	7:50pm ARB: Bagus Bagus
	♥ 7:52pm Gary: Thank you, thank you, ARB!
	7:52pm tim abdellah: Hi everyone! Damn, I missed "Tonggeret".
	7:53pm Dean: Another great label/series, Smithsonian's Music of Indonesia!
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: Tiiiim!
	♥ 7:55pm Michael 98145: My robot sez this translates to 3 mornings or 3 in the morning
	7:57pm TDK60: Hello.
	7:58pm Dean: Storms aren't crazy. People? Perhaps.
	♥ 7:58pm Michael 98145: poor trees
	♥ 7:59pm Michael 98145: everything sounds fine, thank you
	7:59pm northguineahills: I know absolutely nothing about bahasa indonesia.
	8:02pm Dean: Long Bodega Pop Dead Blog? No option to lengthen it. Welcome, folks, to "democracy."
	8:03pm Dean: Last I checked Verdi is world music.
	♥ 8:05pm chresti: Hi ARB, fellow pothead!
	8:07pm ARB: Hi Chresti!
	♥ 8:09pm Michael 98145: Ah! Now we're cookin with gas.
	8:09pm ARB: I'm doing a Maritime Southeast Asia Special for Aloha Fridays on Aug 14th, if you're digging these Indonesian sounds you may like it. Find it here: www.wfmu.org...
	8:12pm TDK60: Guess I don't mind "world music" as you do, Gary. I was in that record store in Portland, forget the name. They were helpful, introduced stuff to me. I think it closed. It was near another good record store, Exiled. Still there, very WFMU-like music.
	♥ 8:13pm chresti: Yay! We'll be there.
	♥ 8:14pm Michael 98145: @TDK60, Music Millennium?
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: Well, when I think of World Music, I think of a particular sort of 1980-90s fusion-y situation? dj /rupture writes about this far more eloquently than I ever could, in his book Uproot
	8:16pm TDK60: Michael, no Music Millennium is a bigger general/rock rekkid store.
	♥ 8:17pm Gary: Sweet, ARB! Looking forward to that! And, TDK, I just saw that you stepped in -- howdy!
	♥ 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also my understanding is one application of the term 'World Music' referred to a specific genre style that was a fusion of international musics with Western pop - of some kind... That intent may actually make more sense for the term (...whatever the result). 'International' is weird if it happens to be your native music - but it makes a little more sense...
	♥ 8:18pm Michael 98145: @TDK60, ah. I think i remember what you mean -- a store i cannot name, either. Long gone.
	♥ 8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah Gary there you are with specifics Thx.
	8:19pm TDK60: I do like some of those '80s fusion-y combos. Ex. Dissidenten half Moroccan/half German players. / Michael it was basically round the corner from Exiled on the south side of Hawthorne.
	♥ 8:20pm chresti: Maybe Tony Coulter knows about it, TDK60.
	8:20pm TDK60: Hi Chresti -possibly.
	♥ 8:21pm Gary: You have a point, RevRab
	♥ 8:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LambdaCalculus Thanks Again for telling me Umababarauma was Jorge Ben the other week! That was gonna drive me mad.
	♥ 8:24pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Gary, I'm home now, and plan to get totally wrecked. It's been a tough day. So before I can not type at all I will tell you this: I just got a new mechanic and he is from Indonesia, he calls me by my proper name and like to talk almost as much as I do. When I got in my truck yesterday afternoon, it took off like a rocket. I said to myself This guy knows his shit! I was so happy I went went straight to the Syrian bakery and bought some spinach pies! Okay, I'm going to get loaded now. Rock on bro!
	♥ 8:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now @ least I imagine better sound of course - but my speakers are enjoying this for certain !
	♥ 8:25pm melinda: Hiya!
	8:25pm Dean: My complaint is precisely with the sloppy but insidious application of a term like "world music" to some vague genre. I marvel, too, that we can't identify the Portland record store, despite the fact that many of us have been to Portland and plumbed its stores, added to which is the fact that internet is the source of all knowledge.
	♥ 8:25pm Michael 98145: Happy trucks make people happy.
	♥ 8:25pm chresti: FantastIQUE!
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Melinda!
	♥ 8:26pm chresti: Ha Michael 98145.
	8:26pm TDK60: Dean, I have it written down somewhere.. / Franco, you talk a lot?
	♥ 8:28pm Michael 98145: This is phenomenal
	♥ 8:28pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, it's a problem according to some people.
	♥ 8:28pm Uncle Michael: hello
	♥ 8:28pm Franco Twinkie: Michael!
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: Well, lookee, it's Franco Twinkie and Uncle Michael!
	♥ 8:29pm chresti: My brother and my son are also talkers.
	♥ 8:30pm Franco Twinkie: I know Michael likes wine in a box, I have always preferred drugs.
	♥ 8:32pm Uncle Michael: I generally prefer 20th and 21st Century Earth music, when it comes to recordings. I can be quite a snob in that way. I tried to get into gas music from Jupiter but it wasn't my cuppa.
	♥ 8:33pm Gary: Anybody who says they like Jupiter gas music is lying
	♥ 8:33pm Michael 98145: i think i have the wine gene, too
	8:34pm Dean: Is the 21st century music thing a response to yet another dumb article in the NYT? I myself prefer 18th and 12th century musics, but they must be of the world.
	♥ 8:34pm chresti: Haha I wonder what Jupiter gas music sounds like
	♥ 8:35pm Uncle Michael: All of the 18th and 12th century recordings I've heard made little impression upon me.
	8:36pm passiflora: hi!
	8:36pm Dean: That's good! An impression would be battery.
	♥ 8:36pm Gary: Passiflora, come on in, we're slagging Jupiter
	♥ 8:37pm chresti: Love this, I have some of the guitar music.
	♥ 8:40pm Uncle Michael: I had higher hopes for my Firesign Theater reference.
	♥ 8:41pm Gary: You have just described every feeling I've ever had after making a Firesign Theater reference, UM -- in my case, usually at work
	♥ 8:42pm Gary: "Yeah, but it's today!"
	♥ 8:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only non-Earth music I'm aware of is Fiorella Terenzi turning astronomical information into music... but even this is processed on Earth by an Italian !
	8:42pm Dean: Everything You Know Is Wrong, UM, is maybe my favorite FT of theirs. I got the allusion.
	♥ 8:43pm Uncle Michael: Gary, you and I are leaders of tomorrow, sadly.
	♥ 8:43pm Uncle Michael: Me and Happy Harry Cox are tight, like that.
	♥ 8:45pm Uncle Michael: Dean, for no particular reason other than a college roommate had a copy. EYKIW is the one I've listened to above all others by at least an order of magnitude.
	8:47pm Dean: Earlier, "Benjamin Franklin, the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States." That one still kills me. I checked out their albums from the public library--remember those?!--, but yeah, EYKIW was due to high school buddies sharing FT records their siblings owned.
	♥ 8:48pm melinda: This would go well with some stop-motion animation.
	♥ 8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SubGenius very much informed by Firesign - who were very much informed by the Goon Show as were The Beatles & Monty Python... Firesign has a Stream I shall find...
	♥ 8:49pm Uncle Michael: I'm not a drinkin' man, on duty. I swear to hell I saw it.
	♥ 8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @melinda: The tradition is shadow puppets. :)
	♥ 8:50pm Gary: I have a soft spot for I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus
	♥ 8:50pm Uncle Michael: Skin smooth like baby's feet. Didn't know what milk was. Took him to the Swiss picnic... I could go on like this till the end of the show.
	8:51pm Dean: Wow! I Have a Soft Spot for I Think We're All Bozos on this Bus was the name of my [ordinal number] band in high school!
	♥ 8:51pm Gary: Please do ... ? Haha, I have forgotten most of it, and it all still cracks me up when I hear it again
	♥ 8:53pm Uncle Michael: "...much faded with time and wormholes, it read; 'here lies a real...square...little...felller...'"
	8:53pm Dean: One of the great things about Firesign has been and always will be that no one person can recite them.
	♥ 8:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Starts up soon as you get there : www.firesigntheatre.com
	♥ 8:53pm Uncle Michael: Right, someone else always cuts in with the next line!
	♥ 8:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BBC has Goon Show up : www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 8:55pm Gary: Antelope Freeway, one half mile ... Antelope Freeway, one quarter mile ... Antelope Freeway, one eighth mile ... Antelope Freeway, one sixteenth mile ... Antelope Freeway, one 32nd mile ... Antelope Freeway, one 64th mile ...
	♥ 8:56pm Uncle Michael: I don't hear much connective tissue between the Firesigns and an other entities...except perhaps from Bob & Ray to the FT guys.
	8:57pm tim abdellah: Ooh - missed the firesign chat! I've been listening to them a lot the last couple weeks (since the 50th anniversary of Dwarf).
	♥ 8:57pm Uncle Michael: I have a Ralph Spollsport Motors license plate frame on my car.
	8:57pm tim abdellah: Phil Proctor sez they were pretty influenced by the Goons.
	♥ 8:58pm Uncle Michael: I don't disbelieve that. I just don't her it. They'd be more like Monty Python.
	8:58pm tim abdellah: or at least HE was
	♥ 8:59pm melinda: A lot going on here.
	♥ 9:00pm Gary: "Uh ... Clem"
	9:01pm tim abdellah: I stumbled across this podcast recently - there are a series of episodes featuring Phil Proctor dubbed "History of Firesign". The interviews are a bit rambling but quite interesting. stolendress.com...
	9:01pm tim abdellah: Apparently if you have an iPhone, you should try asking Siri "This is worker speaking. Hello."
	9:01pm TDK60: ..your next lesson in Turkish..
	♥ 9:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Goons @ their most surreal especially? In the other direction - Rev. Stang of SubGenius even says 'Dear Friend's like all the time - which is directly Firesign... Goon episodes are nearly half an hour - so I found them great for lunch breaks!
	9:03pm Dean: Influence is such a difficult determination. AI imagines it can resolve it. I'm a doubter, in part because I want the analysis of influence to allow me, a third-party intervenor, to imply (suggest, insist) that an early work is part of a later one in some meaningful sense, even if the "data" (jfc, yawn) suggest otherwise.
	♥ 9:06pm Uncle Michael: Your brain may no longer be the boss, Dean. Syrup won't stop 'em. They're in everyone's eggs.
	9:06pm tim abdellah: Grabbed this on Bandcamp recently - 7 hours of live Firesign from '79-'81, including the Fighting Clowns album. There's a great live show from the Roxy that includes a whole Nick Danger episode that I don't think ever appeared (or got recycled) elsewhere. Well worth the $15. firesigntheatre.bandcamp.com...
	9:07pm Dean: When was my brain ever the boss?
	♥ 9:07pm Franco Twinkie: My good friend and hash connection is/was The Firesign Theater art director. Many funny stories, but not now. Just got a call - have to do a park scout right now. So much for getting high.
	9:07pm Dean: Okay, shorter theme song. QED.
	♥ 9:08pm Uncle Michael: Gary broke the president.
	9:08pm Dean: Buddy of mine ran a record store, a frequent visitor of which was Glen Banks, who has worked with FT quite a bit. Great guy.
	♥ 9:09pm Uncle Michael: I have a story about scoring front row center FT reunion tickets in the early '90s...and the concert got cancelled.
	9:11pm Dean: Franco, re: your hash connection, corned beef or crypto?
	♥ 9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Firesign have made direct reference to the Goons. Unlike Python - Firesign were mainly Audio - & worked Radio before Albums. It'd be hard to imagine they weren't deep into Goons. The Beatles & Python otoh were of course British & grew up with the BBC & The Goons explicitly. In fact it was a selling point to The Beatles that their Producer George Martin had done The Goons' records ! & then their film Director Richard Lester had worked with them as well.
	♥ 9:12pm chresti: It's been years since I listened to FT. Loads and loads of 'em.
	♥ 9:13pm Uncle Michael: Would the members of the FT had much access to the Goon Show broadcasts?
	♥ 9:14pm Uncle Michael: I should share my Blue Moss recipe on Friday. I've been whipping them up all day.
	♥ 9:14pm Franco Twinkie: I will just add this before I go: In 1968 my father had the headphones on, took them off and said "Here, I think you'll like this" and handed them to me. It was the FT on KPFK in Los Angeles. I guess I'm a fan too.
	♥ 9:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The specifics would be good to know. I think there had always been collectors stateside?
	9:18pm tim abdellah: Proctor did say in those interviews that he heard the Goons early, but I don't recall the context, whether it was via records. I'd have to go back and listen again.
	9:18pm tim abdellah: @Franco - awesome!
	9:20pm TDK60: Franco you still there? What is your scout in park chore?
	♥ 9:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary that Gamelan sounded amazing so if better sound is psychosomatic I'm rolling with it...
	♥ 9:24pm doctorjazz: Hi Gary and Popsters!
	♥ 9:24pm Gary: Dr. Jazz!
	♥ 9:26pm Franco Twinkie: I am still here TDK, but getting ready to go. Our friends Rick and Critter want to get together, so I'm going to check out this park near by that has all these goofy cement dinosaurs and sea creatures and see how crowded it gets in the evening.
	9:28pm tim abdellah: Ooh - Nasida Ria! Cool! They have some nice videos too. I played some when I was teaching a class on Music and Islam, back in my academic days/daze.
	9:28pm TDK60: Ah, I see Franco. / So many different styles here, Gary.
	♥ 9:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cement Dinosaurs !
	♥ 9:33pm Gary: I think I found that CD in Amsterdam, Tim -- so wonderful
	9:34pm TDK60: The 3rd track back sounded Arab influenced, maybe.
	♥ 9:35pm Gary: Definitely, TDK -- Yemeni
	♥ 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The two guitar track reminded me of Hamza El Din's oud on the Nile...
	9:41pm tim abdellah: That Nasid style (3rd track) draws consciously from Arab music. "Nashid" in Arabic is a devotional song. The indonesian nasyid style signifies Islamic piety, even if the lyrics are not devotional.
	9:42pm tim abdellah: The gambus style is also very Arab influenced and uses the 'ud - as Gary mentions, an old influence from Yemeni traders/settlers.
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: Yes, thank you, Tim, I was conflating qasidah and gambus
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:48pm Ike: You wouldn't think this would be the best music to accompany a sabich sandwich, but somehow, it is.
	9:49pm tim abdellah: @Ike - LOL @Gary - have you heard the Malaysian Islamic boy bands like Raihan?
	9:50pm tim abdellah: That's probably 15 years ago that that stuff was happening, so I guess they ain't boys any more :D
	9:51pm tim abdellah: Oh dang - their 1st album was from 1996 - they're older than I remember!
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: Stick around after this program for Sam Segal's Thrill-Inducing If You Lose Your Horse: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: Tim, I have not! Need to ... :)
	9:52pm TDK60: Far out.
	9:54pm LambdaCalculus: Yay, Dara Puspita! :D
	9:57pm TDK60: Thanks Gary. Next time..
	♥ 9:57pm Uncle Michael: Thank ya, Gary!
	9:57pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks for the tunes, Gary!
	9:58pm tim abdellah: Great stuff tonite Gary! Nice geeking out on the Firesign with ya UncleMike, RevRab, Dean, Franco, et al. Apologies to the rest for hijacking the conversation :D
	♥ 9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always a pleasure & a privilege Gary.
	♥ 10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary! What TDK and Tim said.
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night, everyone! Thanks for hanging out!
	3:40am Henk Madrotter: Might get my hands on an extremely rare Duo Kribo vinyl version this week :) Only came out on cassette but a limited number came out on vinyl for promotional use, fingers crossed!

Listener comments!
	♥ 8/4 4:29am Gary: Are you exasperated by the length and idiocy of the Bodega Pop opening theme? Do you feel safe and comfortable hearing it before each show? Please take our 5-second survey and let us know! www.surveymonkey.com...
	♥ 6:53pm listener james from westwood: Indonesia! This very day I proofread a chapter in a college textbook about ethnomusicology that focused on Bali!
	♥ 6:55pm chresti: Hey Bodega Gary show!
	♥ 6:55pm Gary: Whoa, lucky you, James! Hi Chresti!
	6:55pm LambdaCalculus: Evening, Gary!
	♥ 6:56pm Gary: Welcome, LambdaCalculus!
	6:58pm LambdaCalculus: I took the survey, but I did want to mention that I always look forward to the opening because it's the mood setter!
	♥ 6:59pm Gary: About 77% of survey participants agree with you so far, LC
	7:04pm northguineahills: Any Senyawa tonight!
	♥ 7:05pm listener james from westwood: Counterpoint: Terre T's intro was, or at least felt, 45 minutes long. Yours is like a half a punk song by comparison.
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: NGH!
	7:06pm Dean: I'm agnostic, but it seems to me that one measurable factor independent of listener opinion should carry some weight, namely, how often has the show ended either a little bit overtime or without your being able to play one final track for fear of going overtime? If occasionally, then sure, shorten the theme. If not, what's the harm?
	♥ 7:07pm Gary: Dean! I'm usually short on tracks and have to add one or two in at the last minute
	7:09pm Dean: Well, then, let's have a longer intro theme!
	7:10pm βrian: Golly, This Yanti is nice.
	♥ 7:10pm fred: I usually listen to archives, and I love hearing the intro Also, Senyawa was one of the Sonic Protest shows canceled this year. But I had already seen them twice, and even got to chat with Wukir Suryadi once, at a show where he didn't play. Cool guy
	♥ 7:12pm Gary: βrian and Fred!
	7:13pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and Indos.
	♥ 7:14pm Gary: Carmichael!
	♥ 7:14pm david w: Gary! (I like the intro, but I love all of you!)
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: haha, you're too kind, David!
	♥ 7:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Myself I think the Intro should be played backwards @ the end as an Outro.
	♥ 7:19pm Michael 98145: g'day popsters
	♥ 7:19pm Gary: RevRab and Michael, come on in!
	♥ 7:21pm Michael 98145: nasi goreng time
	♥ 7:22pm Michael 98145: w/ Sambal, of course
	♥ 7:26pm chresti: Indonesian music is already psychedelic to me.
	♥ 7:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's Fine Wine with Downtown Soulville - talks moderate to little amount - wham bam 23 or 24 amazing 45s in an hour. I think that comes from Dance DJ culture. Gaylord Fields who weaves a cinematic tapestry with the occasional bit of edifying or reflective commentary on a track... It's easy to take for granted how distinct DJ styles are one from another. The Drummer Stream generally feels like back rooms with cushier more lived in furniture...
	7:30pm LambdaCalculus: I don't know why for a second, I thought this was Dara Puspita until I flipped back to the playlist to check!
	♥ 7:31pm chresti: Fine Wine has 1 hour, I think that mostly is the reason for the wham bam.
	♥ 7:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so...the Bodega theme establishes the idea of how you acquire musics & your relation to it - & both the diverse street culture quality of it with the 'streets are crazy' part - & then friendliness & humor with the Nellie as contrasting information. This seems canny & effective programming to me...& then we go wherever for hours anyhow.
	♥ 7:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @chresti yeah.
	♥ 7:36pm Gary: Every so often I go down a rabbit hole of Home Improvements for the show, I guess. Spurred on this time by a sound upgrade that I'm not even sure you can hear on your end, since we broadcast out at 128 kpbs
	7:37pm Dean: Do you have a link to this Sound of Sunda? Would love to learn more about it. Do you know this Nimbus record? https://www.discogs.com/Imas-Permas-Asep-Kosasih-Tembang-Sunda-Sundanese-Classical-Songs/release/13893225
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: Dean, it's at: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 7:39pm Gary: I don't believe I know that one, Dean
	♥ 7:40pm chresti: The more laid back aspect might be due to the Drummer and other streams having less legal constraints put on them by the Man. @RevRab.
	♥ 7:41pm chresti: This is super.
	♥ 7:41pm Michael 98145: no sound complaints ever from this node
	♥ 7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Part of it yeah. It's great the streams have their own qualities; the Drummer Stream is not the main stream .02 or -1 ...
	7:43pm Dean: Nimbus has been a treasure trove for classical musics from various parts of the world. That Tembang Sunda record is pretty amazing.
	♥ 7:46pm Gary: I'll have to look out for it
	♥ 7:46pm Michael 98145: Enjoying hearing all this. Yes.
	7:50pm ARB: Bagus Bagus
	♥ 7:52pm Gary: Thank you, thank you, ARB!
	7:52pm tim abdellah: Hi everyone! Damn, I missed "Tonggeret".
	7:53pm Dean: Another great label/series, Smithsonian's Music of Indonesia!
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: Tiiiim!
	♥ 7:55pm Michael 98145: My robot sez this translates to 3 mornings or 3 in the morning
	7:57pm TDK60: Hello.
	7:58pm Dean: Storms aren't crazy. People? Perhaps.
	♥ 7:58pm Michael 98145: poor trees
	♥ 7:59pm Michael 98145: everything sounds fine, thank you
	7:59pm northguineahills: I know absolutely nothing about bahasa indonesia.
	8:02pm Dean: Long Bodega Pop Dead Blog? No option to lengthen it. Welcome, folks, to "democracy."
	8:03pm Dean: Last I checked Verdi is world music.
	♥ 8:05pm chresti: Hi ARB, fellow pothead!
	8:07pm ARB: Hi Chresti!
	♥ 8:09pm Michael 98145: Ah! Now we're cookin with gas.
	8:09pm ARB: I'm doing a Maritime Southeast Asia Special for Aloha Fridays on Aug 14th, if you're digging these Indonesian sounds you may like it. Find it here: www.wfmu.org...
	8:12pm TDK60: Guess I don't mind "world music" as you do, Gary. I was in that record store in Portland, forget the name. They were helpful, introduced stuff to me. I think it closed. It was near another good record store, Exiled. Still there, very WFMU-like music.
	♥ 8:13pm chresti: Yay! We'll be there.
	♥ 8:14pm Michael 98145: @TDK60, Music Millennium?
	♥ 8:16pm Gary: Well, when I think of World Music, I think of a particular sort of 1980-90s fusion-y situation? dj /rupture writes about this far more eloquently than I ever could, in his book Uproot
	8:16pm TDK60: Michael, no Music Millennium is a bigger general/rock rekkid store.
	♥ 8:17pm Gary: Sweet, ARB! Looking forward to that! And, TDK, I just saw that you stepped in -- howdy!
	♥ 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also my understanding is one application of the term 'World Music' referred to a specific genre style that was a fusion of international musics with Western pop - of some kind... That intent may actually make more sense for the term (...whatever the result). 'International' is weird if it happens to be your native music - but it makes a little more sense...
	♥ 8:18pm Michael 98145: @TDK60, ah. I think i remember what you mean -- a store i cannot name, either. Long gone.
	♥ 8:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah Gary there you are with specifics Thx.
	8:19pm TDK60: I do like some of those '80s fusion-y combos. Ex. Dissidenten half Moroccan/half German players. / Michael it was basically round the corner from Exiled on the south side of Hawthorne.
	♥ 8:20pm chresti: Maybe Tony Coulter knows about it, TDK60.
	8:20pm TDK60: Hi Chresti -possibly.
	♥ 8:21pm Gary: You have a point, RevRab
	♥ 8:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LambdaCalculus Thanks Again for telling me Umababarauma was Jorge Ben the other week! That was gonna drive me mad.
	♥ 8:24pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Gary, I'm home now, and plan to get totally wrecked. It's been a tough day. So before I can not type at all I will tell you this: I just got a new mechanic and he is from Indonesia, he calls me by my proper name and like to talk almost as much as I do. When I got in my truck yesterday afternoon, it took off like a rocket. I said to myself This guy knows his shit! I was so happy I went went straight to the Syrian bakery and bought some spinach pies! Okay, I'm going to get loaded now. Rock on bro!
	♥ 8:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...now @ least I imagine better sound of course - but my speakers are enjoying this for certain !
	♥ 8:25pm melinda: Hiya!
	8:25pm Dean: My complaint is precisely with the sloppy but insidious application of a term like "world music" to some vague genre. I marvel, too, that we can't identify the Portland record store, despite the fact that many of us have been to Portland and plumbed its stores, added to which is the fact that internet is the source of all knowledge.
	♥ 8:25pm Michael 98145: Happy trucks make people happy.
	♥ 8:25pm chresti: FantastIQUE!
	♥ 8:26pm Gary: Melinda!
	♥ 8:26pm chresti: Ha Michael 98145.
	8:26pm TDK60: Dean, I have it written down somewhere.. / Franco, you talk a lot?
	♥ 8:28pm Michael 98145: This is phenomenal
	♥ 8:28pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, it's a problem according to some people.
	♥ 8:28pm Uncle Michael: hello
	♥ 8:28pm Franco Twinkie: Michael!
	♥ 8:29pm Gary: Well, lookee, it's Franco Twinkie and Uncle Michael!
	♥ 8:29pm chresti: My brother and my son are also talkers.
	♥ 8:30pm Franco Twinkie: I know Michael likes wine in a box, I have always preferred drugs.
	♥ 8:32pm Uncle Michael: I generally prefer 20th and 21st Century Earth music, when it comes to recordings. I can be quite a snob in that way. I tried to get into gas music from Jupiter but it wasn't my cuppa.
	♥ 8:33pm Gary: Anybody who says they like Jupiter gas music is lying
	♥ 8:33pm Michael 98145: i think i have the wine gene, too
	8:34pm Dean: Is the 21st century music thing a response to yet another dumb article in the NYT? I myself prefer 18th and 12th century musics, but they must be of the world.
	♥ 8:34pm chresti: Haha I wonder what Jupiter gas music sounds like
	♥ 8:35pm Uncle Michael: All of the 18th and 12th century recordings I've heard made little impression upon me.
	8:36pm passiflora: hi!
	8:36pm Dean: That's good! An impression would be battery.
	♥ 8:36pm Gary: Passiflora, come on in, we're slagging Jupiter
	♥ 8:37pm chresti: Love this, I have some of the guitar music.
	♥ 8:40pm Uncle Michael: I had higher hopes for my Firesign Theater reference.
	♥ 8:41pm Gary: You have just described every feeling I've ever had after making a Firesign Theater reference, UM -- in my case, usually at work
	♥ 8:42pm Gary: "Yeah, but it's today!"
	♥ 8:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only non-Earth music I'm aware of is Fiorella Terenzi turning astronomical information into music... but even this is processed on Earth by an Italian !
	8:42pm Dean: Everything You Know Is Wrong, UM, is maybe my favorite FT of theirs. I got the allusion.
	♥ 8:43pm Uncle Michael: Gary, you and I are leaders of tomorrow, sadly.
	♥ 8:43pm Uncle Michael: Me and Happy Harry Cox are tight, like that.
	♥ 8:45pm Uncle Michael: Dean, for no particular reason other than a college roommate had a copy. EYKIW is the one I've listened to above all others by at least an order of magnitude.
	8:47pm Dean: Earlier, "Benjamin Franklin, the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States." That one still kills me. I checked out their albums from the public library--remember those?!--, but yeah, EYKIW was due to high school buddies sharing FT records their siblings owned.
	♥ 8:48pm melinda: This would go well with some stop-motion animation.
	♥ 8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: SubGenius very much informed by Firesign - who were very much informed by the Goon Show as were The Beatles & Monty Python... Firesign has a Stream I shall find...
	♥ 8:49pm Uncle Michael: I'm not a drinkin' man, on duty. I swear to hell I saw it.
	♥ 8:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @melinda: The tradition is shadow puppets. :)
	♥ 8:50pm Gary: I have a soft spot for I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus
	♥ 8:50pm Uncle Michael: Skin smooth like baby's feet. Didn't know what milk was. Took him to the Swiss picnic... I could go on like this till the end of the show.
	8:51pm Dean: Wow! I Have a Soft Spot for I Think We're All Bozos on this Bus was the name of my [ordinal number] band in high school!
	♥ 8:51pm Gary: Please do ... ? Haha, I have forgotten most of it, and it all still cracks me up when I hear it again
	♥ 8:53pm Uncle Michael: "...much faded with time and wormholes, it read; 'here lies a real...square...little...felller...'"
	8:53pm Dean: One of the great things about Firesign has been and always will be that no one person can recite them.
	♥ 8:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Starts up soon as you get there : www.firesigntheatre.com
	♥ 8:53pm Uncle Michael: Right, someone else always cuts in with the next line!
	♥ 8:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BBC has Goon Show up : www.bbc.co.uk...
	♥ 8:55pm Gary: Antelope Freeway, one half mile ... Antelope Freeway, one quarter mile ... Antelope Freeway, one eighth mile ... Antelope Freeway, one sixteenth mile ... Antelope Freeway, one 32nd mile ... Antelope Freeway, one 64th mile ...
	♥ 8:56pm Uncle Michael: I don't hear much connective tissue between the Firesigns and an other entities...except perhaps from Bob & Ray to the FT guys.
	8:57pm tim abdellah: Ooh - missed the firesign chat! I've been listening to them a lot the last couple weeks (since the 50th anniversary of Dwarf).
	♥ 8:57pm Uncle Michael: I have a Ralph Spollsport Motors license plate frame on my car.
	8:57pm tim abdellah: Phil Proctor sez they were pretty influenced by the Goons.
	♥ 8:58pm Uncle Michael: I don't disbelieve that. I just don't her it. They'd be more like Monty Python.
	8:58pm tim abdellah: or at least HE was
	♥ 8:59pm melinda: A lot going on here.
	♥ 9:00pm Gary: "Uh ... Clem"
	9:01pm tim abdellah: I stumbled across this podcast recently - there are a series of episodes featuring Phil Proctor dubbed "History of Firesign". The interviews are a bit rambling but quite interesting. stolendress.com...
	9:01pm tim abdellah: Apparently if you have an iPhone, you should try asking Siri "This is worker speaking. Hello."
	9:01pm TDK60: ..your next lesson in Turkish..
	♥ 9:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Goons @ their most surreal especially? In the other direction - Rev. Stang of SubGenius even says 'Dear Friend's like all the time - which is directly Firesign... Goon episodes are nearly half an hour - so I found them great for lunch breaks!
	9:03pm Dean: Influence is such a difficult determination. AI imagines it can resolve it. I'm a doubter, in part because I want the analysis of influence to allow me, a third-party intervenor, to imply (suggest, insist) that an early work is part of a later one in some meaningful sense, even if the "data" (jfc, yawn) suggest otherwise.
	♥ 9:06pm Uncle Michael: Your brain may no longer be the boss, Dean. Syrup won't stop 'em. They're in everyone's eggs.
	9:06pm tim abdellah: Grabbed this on Bandcamp recently - 7 hours of live Firesign from '79-'81, including the Fighting Clowns album. There's a great live show from the Roxy that includes a whole Nick Danger episode that I don't think ever appeared (or got recycled) elsewhere. Well worth the $15. firesigntheatre.bandcamp.com...
	9:07pm Dean: When was my brain ever the boss?
	♥ 9:07pm Franco Twinkie: My good friend and hash connection is/was The Firesign Theater art director. Many funny stories, but not now. Just got a call - have to do a park scout right now. So much for getting high.
	9:07pm Dean: Okay, shorter theme song. QED.
	♥ 9:08pm Uncle Michael: Gary broke the president.
	9:08pm Dean: Buddy of mine ran a record store, a frequent visitor of which was Glen Banks, who has worked with FT quite a bit. Great guy.
	♥ 9:09pm Uncle Michael: I have a story about scoring front row center FT reunion tickets in the early '90s...and the concert got cancelled.
	9:11pm Dean: Franco, re: your hash connection, corned beef or crypto?
	♥ 9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Firesign have made direct reference to the Goons. Unlike Python - Firesign were mainly Audio - & worked Radio before Albums. It'd be hard to imagine they weren't deep into Goons. The Beatles & Python otoh were of course British & grew up with the BBC & The Goons explicitly. In fact it was a selling point to The Beatles that their Producer George Martin had done The Goons' records ! & then their film Director Richard Lester had worked with them as well.
	♥ 9:12pm chresti: It's been years since I listened to FT. Loads and loads of 'em.
	♥ 9:13pm Uncle Michael: Would the members of the FT had much access to the Goon Show broadcasts?
	♥ 9:14pm Uncle Michael: I should share my Blue Moss recipe on Friday. I've been whipping them up all day.
	♥ 9:14pm Franco Twinkie: I will just add this before I go: In 1968 my father had the headphones on, took them off and said "Here, I think you'll like this" and handed them to me. It was the FT on KPFK in Los Angeles. I guess I'm a fan too.
	♥ 9:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The specifics would be good to know. I think there had always been collectors stateside?
	9:18pm tim abdellah: Proctor did say in those interviews that he heard the Goons early, but I don't recall the context, whether it was via records. I'd have to go back and listen again.
	9:18pm tim abdellah: @Franco - awesome!
	9:20pm TDK60: Franco you still there? What is your scout in park chore?
	♥ 9:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gary that Gamelan sounded amazing so if better sound is psychosomatic I'm rolling with it...
	♥ 9:24pm doctorjazz: Hi Gary and Popsters!
	♥ 9:24pm Gary: Dr. Jazz!
	♥ 9:26pm Franco Twinkie: I am still here TDK, but getting ready to go. Our friends Rick and Critter want to get together, so I'm going to check out this park near by that has all these goofy cement dinosaurs and sea creatures and see how crowded it gets in the evening.
	9:28pm tim abdellah: Ooh - Nasida Ria! Cool! They have some nice videos too. I played some when I was teaching a class on Music and Islam, back in my academic days/daze.
	9:28pm TDK60: Ah, I see Franco. / So many different styles here, Gary.
	♥ 9:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cement Dinosaurs !
	♥ 9:33pm Gary: I think I found that CD in Amsterdam, Tim -- so wonderful
	9:34pm TDK60: The 3rd track back sounded Arab influenced, maybe.
	♥ 9:35pm Gary: Definitely, TDK -- Yemeni
	♥ 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The two guitar track reminded me of Hamza El Din's oud on the Nile...
	9:41pm tim abdellah: That Nasid style (3rd track) draws consciously from Arab music. "Nashid" in Arabic is a devotional song. The indonesian nasyid style signifies Islamic piety, even if the lyrics are not devotional.
	9:42pm tim abdellah: The gambus style is also very Arab influenced and uses the 'ud - as Gary mentions, an old influence from Yemeni traders/settlers.
	♥ 9:44pm Gary: Yes, thank you, Tim, I was conflating qasidah and gambus
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:48pm Ike: You wouldn't think this would be the best music to accompany a sabich sandwich, but somehow, it is.
	9:49pm tim abdellah: @Ike - LOL @Gary - have you heard the Malaysian Islamic boy bands like Raihan?
	9:50pm tim abdellah: That's probably 15 years ago that that stuff was happening, so I guess they ain't boys any more :D
	9:51pm tim abdellah: Oh dang - their 1st album was from 1996 - they're older than I remember!
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: Stick around after this program for Sam Segal's Thrill-Inducing If You Lose Your Horse: wfmu.org...
	♥ 9:52pm Gary: Tim, I have not! Need to ... :)
	9:52pm TDK60: Far out.
	9:54pm LambdaCalculus: Yay, Dara Puspita! :D
	9:57pm TDK60: Thanks Gary. Next time..
	♥ 9:57pm Uncle Michael: Thank ya, Gary!
	9:57pm LambdaCalculus: Thanks for the tunes, Gary!
	9:58pm tim abdellah: Great stuff tonite Gary! Nice geeking out on the Firesign with ya UncleMike, RevRab, Dean, Franco, et al. Apologies to the rest for hijacking the conversation :D
	♥ 9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always a pleasure & a privilege Gary.
	♥ 10:00pm chresti: Thanks Gary! What TDK and Tim said.
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night, everyone! Thanks for hanging out!
	3:40am Henk Madrotter: Might get my hands on an extremely rare Duo Kribo vinyl version this week :) Only came out on cassette but a limited number came out on vinyl for promotional use, fingers crossed!
