Listener comments!
	12:00am RabidRabbit: Hi, Ira and the Ks :)
	12:01am Artie: A fine sense of time, and yet no timing.
	12:01am DktrFaustus: Ahoy!
	12:01am MONEYBAG$: Hey Iralung
	12:03am coelacanth∅: greetings Ira Anderson and all
	12:03am flashbazbo: Hey Ira! I just unwrapped a new shirt for this show! It should never need to be said, but here we are aren’t we?: I do not stand for luxury items.
	12:03am mariano: Bourrée! Hooray! Hiya Ira, Crew, everyone.
	12:04am Ira: Hi, everyone, thanks for tuning in. Is anyone still "tuning"?
	12:05am Rick G: Maybe Todd can give away Crest of a Knave for next year’s DJ Premium?
	12:05am Mike W: whew, i just made it, i had to oil up my tuning device cause it was having trouble tuning!
	12:05am spodiodi: allo allo, Ira and co
	12:06am coelacanth∅: i partake in frequency modulation often; but not right now
	12:06am Chop Scott: I'm tuned in Ira--Cheers!
	12:07am coelacanth∅: Mike, sometimes you have to stab it with a tuning fork
	12:07am coelacanth∅: hey spodi
	12:08am Nate K: First no-hitter of 2020 tonight. Of course, it’s against the Pirates.
	12:11am Ira: Pay no attention to that baseball card at the top of the playlist! As the Mets are 3 outs away from being shut out in both games of a doubleheader (well, a 1.54-header), I'm calling in rain delay.
	12:12am Dungaroos Kipawah: And some guy on the Marlins just stole second, third and home against the Mets.
	12:12am uuee: Hi Ira and friends. I've a question for you, Ira. Yo La Tengo tee shirts are being advertised on facebook, do the proceeds of the sales go to the band? The shirt features a dinosaur skeleton.
	12:13am Chop Scott: The cymbal flange/panning on this is totally freaking me out right now.
	12:13am Mike W: @coelacanth∅ stabbed it
	12:13am BH: excellent work by the Mets in not making contact with anything since last Thursday
	12:14am Ira: @Uuee: No. (sigh) it's a bootleg.
	12:14am postess: The Pirates had just racked up 37 hits in 3 games against the Brewers and 7 against Shane Bieber before that. I’m letting myself feel good about Giolito’s no-no
	12:14am Ira: @BH: yeah, it's like that joke about showing up at a game in the 4th inning and the score is still 0-0. We haven't missed anything.
	12:15am Chop Scott: @Dungaroos Kipawah: Cheers Brother!
	12:15am BH: Anyways, it seems like the methods used by the leagues are as follows NBA: "Live in this bubble in Florida" MLB: "If anybody tests positive we wait a few days to see if anything is spreading" NFL: "All positive tests are false positives"
	12:16am uuee: Thought as much. Thanks, won't be ordering one then.
	12:16am Mike W: @Ira here in the East Village (still just a few blocks from those old ConEd softball fields) me and the dog are tuned in clearly at 91.9 (better reception than 91.1 these days)
	12:18am mariano: Make sure to report it too, uuee. On another note, could I interest you in a range of genuine YLT merchandise?
	12:18am Ira: My retirement from the game of softball occurred on that very Con Ed field.
	12:19am Ken From Hyde Park: All songs played tonight were up for Grammys in the Heavy Metal category? Cool!
	12:19am postess: It was 6 Pirates hits against Bieber...at least I didn’t call him Justin
	12:20am Jedley: Kids.... if someone with overdose in their name invites you to take a trip.... think thrice
	12:21am Jedley: Top o' the evening all
	12:25am Mike W: @Ira I still have the program and batting-helmet ice-cream bowl from that retirement game.
	12:26am Ira: I appreciate that, Mike, though I remain a little bitter about the whole thing, because the convertible they gave me turned out to be a lemon, and the taxes were insane.
	12:30am Somm Ben: Ira, any time you want to play more material like Sefan please do so!
	12:32am flashbazbo: Thanks for playing tunes this summer, Ira. You should keep on going. I’ve always been inspired a lot by your musical choices., I hope you never get tennis elbow (Not a class-based ailment btw.) I was supposed to get a lot done this quarantine, but it all went to hell. I feel like a flayed fish. Anyway, if you make it back to Boston, I won’t miss it. Should the future happen, that is.
	12:35am Dungaroos Kipawah: @Hey Hey Chop Scott! And to one and all. The Davis Sisters were like the female Everlys. Femaleverlys?
	12:35am tom: @ira ... that wasn't the uk kaleidoscope, was it the american kaleidoscope, or something other. i liked it
	12:37am Ira: Thanks, Flashbazbo. This show has helped distract me from that niggling question of whether there'll be a future. And hopefully helped distract others.
	12:38am Somm Ben: @Dungaroos : Femhailefferly's
	12:38am Ira: Tom: US Kaleidoscope.
	12:38am Somm Ben: It's a pub I'll open
	12:39am tom: oh... thanks
	12:39am Ira: This is that moment in the show where you'll all be relieved to know it can't go on for any more than 2 hours and 20 minutes.
	12:39am uuee: @mariano. Sure, I'm interested, what's the link?
	12:40am Robin&Frank: Thanks Ira, your show is way more consistently good than Mets ball.
	12:40am ?: that sweet delight song reminds me of the jackie wilson song, your love keeps lifting me
	12:42am Jedley: 2 hour and 20 minutes of t-bones, babies being mine, and good times
	12:42am Ira: Robin&Frank: A backhanded compliment! How appropriate.
	12:43am coelacanth∅: i might have enough babies long before 2 hours, 20 minutes is up though.
	12:43am Ira: Comma.
	12:45am flashbazbo: I just heard 5 versions of something? Weird. Go Nolan Strong
	12:45am spodiodi: so possessive
	12:46am Joe B: Greetings Ira and everyone
	12:47am Robin&Frank: Thanks for this one. RIP Walter.
	12:48am Chop Scott: Cheers Joe B.!
	12:48am coelacanth∅: hey Joe
	12:48am jakepend: 2020 L.A.M.E.
	12:49am spodiodi: a question mark might help hey Joe B!
	12:50am mariano: uuee: All from the trunk of my car actually ;)
	12:50am spodiodi: thanks, Skeleton Crew!
	12:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Time to pay the piper!
	12:58am scobot: Perfect Tull track!
	12:58am mariano: Come on, I am the whistler...
	12:59am glennfromglendale: I have a copy of Stormwatch by Jethro Tull filed right next to Living on The Fault Line by the Doobie brothers. They both occupy the records I don’t know why I have shelf.
	1:00am coelacanth∅: i took a decades-long break from jethro tull, except every easter i listen to the aqualung album in it's entirety. and love every second of it. ... over the past 4-5 years though i've listened to many hours of different -mostly early jethro tull.
	1:01am Rick G: Thanks for the Mirman bit, well played
	1:02am Somm Ben: Lol
	1:02am sufferwords: the bands of my 8-12 -Tull, Yes and then a little later Genesis... the only thing I still adore is Genesis wasn’t that much after that I put down my Allman Brothers and Little Feat... this all might coincide with my exposure to punk and the nail was when KROQ and Rodney peeled my ears open - I can still dig the Allmans and Feat but so much of the stuff I dug as a tot is in retrospect music made focused on a young audience I’m sure the hip older folk back in the day looked at that shit like pap
	1:03am glennfromglendale: Been loving Mirman’s “Daily Covid routine” posts on Instagram
	1:04am sufferwords: dude- I corn dog - my peers and friends
	1:05am coelacanth∅: mariano a store i worked at we discovered someone was opening packages of all kinds of foods and taking a little bite. i figured out who it was and from then on she became known as "the nibbler", sung to the tune of "the whistler"
	1:06am mariano: When I was in England in 2018 I sat in this lovely park on a sunny day and listened to Aqualung for the first time in years, really enjoyed it. Haha coela, that's perfect! Anderson could've parlayed that into a snack jingle.
	1:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whohhh - sleep ? I got FMU to listen to ...suppose I needed it...
	1:07am Chop Scott: Thanks for your programming, so happy to be listening. Cheers to you Ira and the skeletons!
	1:08am flashbazbo: Everybody beats up on prog and folk, singer songwriters, and schmaltz but really that's what makes the world go round.
	1:10am coelacanth∅: aqualung is a perfect album. locomotive breath getting killed on classic rock radio is a sad thing. fortunately i haven't listened to classic rock radio since jethro tull wasn't all considered classic rock.
	1:11am mariano: flashbazbo: At the height of my wannabe punk days when I was 19 I'd guiltily listen to "Songs from the Wood." coela: "Wond'ring Aloud" is such a gorgeous song. I really love Anderson's acoustic playing.
	1:12am John L: Tull was formative in my mid-teens. From there I got into Steeleye Span, then Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Richard and Linda Thompson, Bert Jansch. I don't listen to Tull anymore, but this isolation is making me a bit nostalgic. And Tull were one of my first concerts; 1973 at the Nassau Coliseum. When I do play tull I lean towards Benefit and Stand Up.
	1:12am mariano: Oh, I'm sure at least some of you have seen the Stones' "Rock and Roll Circus," the first act is an up-and-coming Tull with a young Tony Iommi on guitar.
	1:13am coelacanth∅: songs from the wood is also great! hunting girl is just amazing. ...their last good album though, in my opinion.
	1:14am BFrank: Always great to hear Jethro Tull. Saw every tour through Passion Play.
	1:14am coelacanth∅: -and yeah wond'ring aloud...really they were all immaculate musicians.
	1:14am mariano: "Velvet Green" has such good lyrics too: "Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream..."
	1:14am Ken From Hyde Park: I think it was 1986 when I saw Tull in concert. Possibly the Under Wraps tour.
	1:15am Joe B: wfmu virtual movie house: wfmu.org...
	1:15am coelacanth∅: John yes now i lean toward those 2 and this was
	1:15am Chop Scott: Matin Barre often played a Hamer guitar, interesting early choice of options at the time.
	1:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ... ' should the future happen ' ... Saw Tull as part of a package 60s Revival show. They seemed quite a current going concern.
	1:15am PJ: "Never Froget". I'm putting that on a t-shirt with airplanes flying into a giant Kermit.
	1:16am BFrank: It's LIFE is a Long Song
	1:16am Owen: Been getting into Yo La Tengo a lot recently and found out about this show on Twitter. This rocks!
	1:17am Joe B: Hi Owen, if interested, you can find all of Ira's FMU shows here: wfmu.org...
	1:19am coelacanth∅: Chop Scott that sheds light on why the lead guitarist in the punk band i was in had to get a hamer.
	1:19am Ira: BFrank: Oy vey. I knew that! I blame society.
	1:20am Ira: Chop Scott & Coel..., there's a Trini Lopez joke that I'm not going to make, there for the taking.
	1:20am coelacanth∅: blame the reproglicans
	1:21am coelacanth∅: Ira hahaha
	1:21am flashbazbo: What’s the prevailing zeitgeist around greater nyc now? Still Fuck or fight? Sounds wild. As soon as you get off the bus you have to choose and throw down? Nobody just goes out for falafel or has new sandals made anymore? Does anyone read? I don’t want to see NY cede the intellectual edge to Boston. Irwin would be disconsolate. (He still can’t get over finding out that I used to know Barrence.) I hear that in Newark airport you don’t even get to choose. Well, they give you a pencil and a little slip with two boxes on it and all, but you know how that goes: They’ll be fuckin you.
	1:21am Ira: It's great to have Joe B. on the comments page. I can say some words that barely qualify as a non-sequitur, and he makes sense out of them.
	1:24am BH: the occasional airing of some comedy jokes made me realize that I think all of the stand-up comedy tracks on my iPod are from Mitch Hedberg albums
	1:28am Chop Scott: @Ira: If he had only had a hammer to sort out the fret board of that Trini Lopez Gibson issue..
	1:40am nanspired: Such a sweet velvet underground cover.
	1:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Maureen Ann "Moe" Tucker (born August 26, 1944) ' Sun in Virgo, Year of Wood Monkey ... should we have a Tea Party for her b-day? ... Yeah sorry ...
	1:43am coelacanth∅: i don't really know what mixcloud is. i don't care.
	1:43am Joe B: here's gerard on mixcloud. Maybe I am misspelling patrick's last name: www.mixcloud.com...
	1:44am Joe B: (that's actually Gerard with Damian from Fucked Up)
	1:45am Ira: Coel... hide your eyes!
	1:46am spodiodi: must.click.link
	1:47am coelacanth∅: haha...i clicked it, thought maybe i'd learn something but it didn't go anywhere. just acted like it was about to but i don't think it ever would. so i bailed.
	1:48am coelacanth∅: my computer protects me from the latest technology.
	1:50am Joe B: meant to link to one of Gerard's regular mixcloud shows. recommended.
	1:56am Jedley: Oh my! <3 Lois <3
	2:02am Owen: this is so funky
	2:04am Bonezhm: just signed on and caught the tail end of lois. so good
	2:04am coelacanth∅: i sign off now Thanks Ira! Thanks Joe Thanks skeleton crew 'night y'all
	2:05am Ira: Goodnight, Coel. Thanks for joining in.
	2:05am Ken From Hyde Park: @Owen - You may also like the following show. DJ Time Traveler has a very nice program.
	2:06am mariano: 'Night coela.
	2:07am spodiodi: night, coelacanth∅
	2:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Later, c∅.
	2:09am listen machen: Schönen guten morgen aus Germany
	2:09am Ira: Ja.
	2:10am Ira: How do you type the null set sign????
	2:10am tak: beep boop click
	2:10am glennfromglendale: This track just helped me hack multiple mainframes. Probably helped rewatching Hackers the other day
	2:12am Ken From Hyde Park: (copy and paste for me)
	2:13am Jedley: I have $5 on copy-n-paste.
	2:16am Ira: Good luck, Jedley. Rewatching Hackers is the horse to beat in that race.
	2:23am spodiodi: Ira, it’s Unicode 2205... macOS and iOS, hold down the O key
	2:23am KWilde: @Ira: ø - try typing option o
	2:24am spodiodi: Ubuntu ctrl+shift+u+2205
	2:24am spodiodi: Win is I think alt+2205
	2:26am mariano: Barnaby Jones! For the first few years of my TV-viewing life I only ever saw it dubbed in Spanish, was taken aback when I heard Buddy Ebsen's real voice. For "Ø" you can also hold down Alt and type 0216 on the number pad (not the row of numbers on top)
	2:29am Ira: ø
	2:30am BH: Økay
	2:30am spodiodi: Now hold shift, to get the cap
	2:31am RabidRabbit: Well, I learned sØmething today... Cheers!:)
	2:32am Ira: Goodnight coelacanthØ
	2:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buddhists in the Krell Labs (dig it).
	2:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Øutstanding, Ira!
	2:43am mariano: Oh, and for lowercase ø it's Alt 0248.
	2:45am spodiodi: I think there may be a difference between letters and the null set symbol. Both have upper and lower case
	2:46am spodiodi: I’d check but I’m using one thumb atm
	2:47am mariano: Didn't think of that, spodi.
	2:47am Mark G: watching the Giolito no-no, thank you for providing the soundtrack Ira!!
	2:49am spodiodi: I really liked Høøtcha!
	2:51am Paper Moog: I really don’t mind if I sit this one out
	2:53am Hoboken Jack: Insane that they only give you a 7 minute show. Oh wait, I missed some?? Dang.
	2:54am spodiodi: Thanks, Ira! Cheerio all
	2:55am spodiodi: Seven times what Jim Price gets
	2:56am Ira: @Paper Moog: This dumbass knows how it feels.
	2:56am tom: thanks ira... enjoyed the show
	2:56am spodiodi: Plus Sonic Youths

	12:01am Artie: A fine sense of time, and yet no timing.
	12:01am DktrFaustus: Ahoy!
	12:01am MONEYBAG$: Hey Iralung
	12:03am coelacanth∅: greetings Ira Anderson and all
	12:03am flashbazbo: Hey Ira! I just unwrapped a new shirt for this show! It should never need to be said, but here we are aren’t we?: I do not stand for luxury items.
	12:03am mariano: Bourrée! Hooray! Hiya Ira, Crew, everyone.
	12:04am Ira: Hi, everyone, thanks for tuning in. Is anyone still "tuning"?
	12:05am Rick G: Maybe Todd can give away Crest of a Knave for next year’s DJ Premium?
	12:05am Mike W: whew, i just made it, i had to oil up my tuning device cause it was having trouble tuning!
	12:05am spodiodi: allo allo, Ira and co
	12:06am coelacanth∅: i partake in frequency modulation often; but not right now
	12:06am Chop Scott: I'm tuned in Ira--Cheers!
	12:07am coelacanth∅: Mike, sometimes you have to stab it with a tuning fork
	12:07am coelacanth∅: hey spodi
	12:08am Nate K: First no-hitter of 2020 tonight. Of course, it’s against the Pirates.
	12:11am Ira: Pay no attention to that baseball card at the top of the playlist! As the Mets are 3 outs away from being shut out in both games of a doubleheader (well, a 1.54-header), I'm calling in rain delay.
	12:12am Dungaroos Kipawah: And some guy on the Marlins just stole second, third and home against the Mets.
	12:12am uuee: Hi Ira and friends. I've a question for you, Ira. Yo La Tengo tee shirts are being advertised on facebook, do the proceeds of the sales go to the band? The shirt features a dinosaur skeleton.
	12:13am Chop Scott: The cymbal flange/panning on this is totally freaking me out right now.
	12:13am Mike W: @coelacanth∅ stabbed it
	12:13am BH: excellent work by the Mets in not making contact with anything since last Thursday
	12:14am Ira: @Uuee: No. (sigh) it's a bootleg.
	12:14am postess: The Pirates had just racked up 37 hits in 3 games against the Brewers and 7 against Shane Bieber before that. I’m letting myself feel good about Giolito’s no-no
	12:14am Ira: @BH: yeah, it's like that joke about showing up at a game in the 4th inning and the score is still 0-0. We haven't missed anything.
	12:15am Chop Scott: @Dungaroos Kipawah: Cheers Brother!
	12:15am BH: Anyways, it seems like the methods used by the leagues are as follows NBA: "Live in this bubble in Florida" MLB: "If anybody tests positive we wait a few days to see if anything is spreading" NFL: "All positive tests are false positives"
	12:16am uuee: Thought as much. Thanks, won't be ordering one then.
	12:16am Mike W: @Ira here in the East Village (still just a few blocks from those old ConEd softball fields) me and the dog are tuned in clearly at 91.9 (better reception than 91.1 these days)
	12:18am mariano: Make sure to report it too, uuee. On another note, could I interest you in a range of genuine YLT merchandise?
	12:18am Ira: My retirement from the game of softball occurred on that very Con Ed field.
	12:19am Ken From Hyde Park: All songs played tonight were up for Grammys in the Heavy Metal category? Cool!
	12:19am postess: It was 6 Pirates hits against Bieber...at least I didn’t call him Justin
	12:20am Jedley: Kids.... if someone with overdose in their name invites you to take a trip.... think thrice
	12:21am Jedley: Top o' the evening all
	12:25am Mike W: @Ira I still have the program and batting-helmet ice-cream bowl from that retirement game.
	12:26am Ira: I appreciate that, Mike, though I remain a little bitter about the whole thing, because the convertible they gave me turned out to be a lemon, and the taxes were insane.
	12:30am Somm Ben: Ira, any time you want to play more material like Sefan please do so!
	12:32am flashbazbo: Thanks for playing tunes this summer, Ira. You should keep on going. I’ve always been inspired a lot by your musical choices., I hope you never get tennis elbow (Not a class-based ailment btw.) I was supposed to get a lot done this quarantine, but it all went to hell. I feel like a flayed fish. Anyway, if you make it back to Boston, I won’t miss it. Should the future happen, that is.
	12:35am Dungaroos Kipawah: @Hey Hey Chop Scott! And to one and all. The Davis Sisters were like the female Everlys. Femaleverlys?
	12:35am tom: @ira ... that wasn't the uk kaleidoscope, was it the american kaleidoscope, or something other. i liked it
	12:37am Ira: Thanks, Flashbazbo. This show has helped distract me from that niggling question of whether there'll be a future. And hopefully helped distract others.
	12:38am Somm Ben: @Dungaroos : Femhailefferly's
	12:38am Ira: Tom: US Kaleidoscope.
	12:38am Somm Ben: It's a pub I'll open
	12:39am tom: oh... thanks
	12:39am Ira: This is that moment in the show where you'll all be relieved to know it can't go on for any more than 2 hours and 20 minutes.
	12:39am uuee: @mariano. Sure, I'm interested, what's the link?
	12:40am Robin&Frank: Thanks Ira, your show is way more consistently good than Mets ball.
	12:40am ?: that sweet delight song reminds me of the jackie wilson song, your love keeps lifting me
	12:42am Jedley: 2 hour and 20 minutes of t-bones, babies being mine, and good times
	12:42am Ira: Robin&Frank: A backhanded compliment! How appropriate.
	12:43am coelacanth∅: i might have enough babies long before 2 hours, 20 minutes is up though.
	12:43am Ira: Comma.
	12:45am flashbazbo: I just heard 5 versions of something? Weird. Go Nolan Strong
	12:45am spodiodi: so possessive
	12:46am Joe B: Greetings Ira and everyone
	12:47am Robin&Frank: Thanks for this one. RIP Walter.
	12:48am Chop Scott: Cheers Joe B.!
	12:48am coelacanth∅: hey Joe
	12:48am jakepend: 2020 L.A.M.E.
	12:49am spodiodi: a question mark might help hey Joe B!
	12:50am mariano: uuee: All from the trunk of my car actually ;)
	12:50am spodiodi: thanks, Skeleton Crew!
	12:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Time to pay the piper!
	12:58am scobot: Perfect Tull track!
	12:58am mariano: Come on, I am the whistler...
	12:59am glennfromglendale: I have a copy of Stormwatch by Jethro Tull filed right next to Living on The Fault Line by the Doobie brothers. They both occupy the records I don’t know why I have shelf.
	1:00am coelacanth∅: i took a decades-long break from jethro tull, except every easter i listen to the aqualung album in it's entirety. and love every second of it. ... over the past 4-5 years though i've listened to many hours of different -mostly early jethro tull.
	1:01am Rick G: Thanks for the Mirman bit, well played
	1:02am Somm Ben: Lol
	1:02am sufferwords: the bands of my 8-12 -Tull, Yes and then a little later Genesis... the only thing I still adore is Genesis wasn’t that much after that I put down my Allman Brothers and Little Feat... this all might coincide with my exposure to punk and the nail was when KROQ and Rodney peeled my ears open - I can still dig the Allmans and Feat but so much of the stuff I dug as a tot is in retrospect music made focused on a young audience I’m sure the hip older folk back in the day looked at that shit like pap
	1:03am glennfromglendale: Been loving Mirman’s “Daily Covid routine” posts on Instagram
	1:04am sufferwords: dude- I corn dog - my peers and friends
	1:05am coelacanth∅: mariano a store i worked at we discovered someone was opening packages of all kinds of foods and taking a little bite. i figured out who it was and from then on she became known as "the nibbler", sung to the tune of "the whistler"
	1:06am mariano: When I was in England in 2018 I sat in this lovely park on a sunny day and listened to Aqualung for the first time in years, really enjoyed it. Haha coela, that's perfect! Anderson could've parlayed that into a snack jingle.
	1:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whohhh - sleep ? I got FMU to listen to ...suppose I needed it...
	1:07am Chop Scott: Thanks for your programming, so happy to be listening. Cheers to you Ira and the skeletons!
	1:08am flashbazbo: Everybody beats up on prog and folk, singer songwriters, and schmaltz but really that's what makes the world go round.
	1:10am coelacanth∅: aqualung is a perfect album. locomotive breath getting killed on classic rock radio is a sad thing. fortunately i haven't listened to classic rock radio since jethro tull wasn't all considered classic rock.
	1:11am mariano: flashbazbo: At the height of my wannabe punk days when I was 19 I'd guiltily listen to "Songs from the Wood." coela: "Wond'ring Aloud" is such a gorgeous song. I really love Anderson's acoustic playing.
	1:12am John L: Tull was formative in my mid-teens. From there I got into Steeleye Span, then Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Richard and Linda Thompson, Bert Jansch. I don't listen to Tull anymore, but this isolation is making me a bit nostalgic. And Tull were one of my first concerts; 1973 at the Nassau Coliseum. When I do play tull I lean towards Benefit and Stand Up.
	1:12am mariano: Oh, I'm sure at least some of you have seen the Stones' "Rock and Roll Circus," the first act is an up-and-coming Tull with a young Tony Iommi on guitar.
	1:13am coelacanth∅: songs from the wood is also great! hunting girl is just amazing. ...their last good album though, in my opinion.
	1:14am BFrank: Always great to hear Jethro Tull. Saw every tour through Passion Play.
	1:14am coelacanth∅: -and yeah wond'ring aloud...really they were all immaculate musicians.
	1:14am mariano: "Velvet Green" has such good lyrics too: "Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream..."
	1:14am Ken From Hyde Park: I think it was 1986 when I saw Tull in concert. Possibly the Under Wraps tour.
	1:15am Joe B: wfmu virtual movie house: wfmu.org...
	1:15am coelacanth∅: John yes now i lean toward those 2 and this was
	1:15am Chop Scott: Matin Barre often played a Hamer guitar, interesting early choice of options at the time.
	1:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ... ' should the future happen ' ... Saw Tull as part of a package 60s Revival show. They seemed quite a current going concern.
	1:15am PJ: "Never Froget". I'm putting that on a t-shirt with airplanes flying into a giant Kermit.
	1:16am BFrank: It's LIFE is a Long Song
	1:16am Owen: Been getting into Yo La Tengo a lot recently and found out about this show on Twitter. This rocks!
	1:17am Joe B: Hi Owen, if interested, you can find all of Ira's FMU shows here: wfmu.org...
	1:19am coelacanth∅: Chop Scott that sheds light on why the lead guitarist in the punk band i was in had to get a hamer.
	1:19am Ira: BFrank: Oy vey. I knew that! I blame society.
	1:20am Ira: Chop Scott & Coel..., there's a Trini Lopez joke that I'm not going to make, there for the taking.
	1:20am coelacanth∅: blame the reproglicans
	1:21am coelacanth∅: Ira hahaha
	1:21am flashbazbo: What’s the prevailing zeitgeist around greater nyc now? Still Fuck or fight? Sounds wild. As soon as you get off the bus you have to choose and throw down? Nobody just goes out for falafel or has new sandals made anymore? Does anyone read? I don’t want to see NY cede the intellectual edge to Boston. Irwin would be disconsolate. (He still can’t get over finding out that I used to know Barrence.) I hear that in Newark airport you don’t even get to choose. Well, they give you a pencil and a little slip with two boxes on it and all, but you know how that goes: They’ll be fuckin you.
	1:21am Ira: It's great to have Joe B. on the comments page. I can say some words that barely qualify as a non-sequitur, and he makes sense out of them.
	1:24am BH: the occasional airing of some comedy jokes made me realize that I think all of the stand-up comedy tracks on my iPod are from Mitch Hedberg albums
	1:28am Chop Scott: @Ira: If he had only had a hammer to sort out the fret board of that Trini Lopez Gibson issue..
	1:40am nanspired: Such a sweet velvet underground cover.
	1:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Maureen Ann "Moe" Tucker (born August 26, 1944) ' Sun in Virgo, Year of Wood Monkey ... should we have a Tea Party for her b-day? ... Yeah sorry ...
	1:43am coelacanth∅: i don't really know what mixcloud is. i don't care.
	1:43am Joe B: here's gerard on mixcloud. Maybe I am misspelling patrick's last name: www.mixcloud.com...
	1:44am Joe B: (that's actually Gerard with Damian from Fucked Up)
	1:45am Ira: Coel... hide your eyes!
	1:46am spodiodi: must.click.link
	1:47am coelacanth∅: haha...i clicked it, thought maybe i'd learn something but it didn't go anywhere. just acted like it was about to but i don't think it ever would. so i bailed.
	1:48am coelacanth∅: my computer protects me from the latest technology.
	1:50am Joe B: meant to link to one of Gerard's regular mixcloud shows. recommended.

	2:10am Ira: How do you type the null set sign????
	2:10am tak: beep boop click
	2:10am glennfromglendale: This track just helped me hack multiple mainframes. Probably helped rewatching Hackers the other day
	2:12am Ken From Hyde Park: (copy and paste for me)
	2:13am Jedley: I have $5 on copy-n-paste.
	2:16am Ira: Good luck, Jedley. Rewatching Hackers is the horse to beat in that race.
	2:23am spodiodi: Ira, it’s Unicode 2205... macOS and iOS, hold down the O key
	2:23am KWilde: @Ira: ø - try typing option o
	2:24am spodiodi: Ubuntu ctrl+shift+u+2205
	2:24am spodiodi: Win is I think alt+2205
	2:26am mariano: Barnaby Jones! For the first few years of my TV-viewing life I only ever saw it dubbed in Spanish, was taken aback when I heard Buddy Ebsen's real voice. For "Ø" you can also hold down Alt and type 0216 on the number pad (not the row of numbers on top)
	2:29am Ira: ø
	2:30am BH: Økay
	2:30am spodiodi: Now hold shift, to get the cap

	2:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buddhists in the Krell Labs (dig it).
	2:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Øutstanding, Ira!
	2:43am mariano: Oh, and for lowercase ø it's Alt 0248.
	2:45am spodiodi: I think there may be a difference between letters and the null set symbol. Both have upper and lower case
	2:46am spodiodi: I’d check but I’m using one thumb atm
	2:47am mariano: Didn't think of that, spodi.
	2:47am Mark G: watching the Giolito no-no, thank you for providing the soundtrack Ira!!
	2:49am spodiodi: I really liked Høøtcha!
	2:51am Paper Moog: I really don’t mind if I sit this one out
	2:53am Hoboken Jack: Insane that they only give you a 7 minute show. Oh wait, I missed some?? Dang.
	2:54am spodiodi: Thanks, Ira! Cheerio all
