	12:04pm Aric: This is like the steak dinner of intro songs!

	12:28pm steveo: where the hell am i
	12:28pm Krys O.: LOL! Walk-ins.
	12:30pm ww: I can't multitask either. Of course, I am not an outstanding, world-renowned DJ
	12:30pm anon: last night i dreamt that my hair had grown to my ankles! like cousin It or something
	12:31pm Roberto: Noise and news are one and the same.
	12:31pm Jason from Houston: ꒰｡•‿•｡꒱
	12:31pm WoodsOfNH: "Librarians With Hickeys" is the best song title I've seen this year. Maybe ever.
	12:31pm listener: Hello Pseu, long nails checking in from Colonia. Hope you're digging the overcastedness of this particular Thursday.
	12:32pm Woo: Hi to Pseu. I talk like the Bunny.
	12:34pm Pseu Braun: DON'T TURN OFF THE RADIO CUZ BOSTON IT'S DIVINE POP HIDDEN IN A NEST OF PERMED HAIR
	12:34pm McGroovey: 91.1 is all fuzzy-like. I think the sun moved. It happens.
	12:35pm McGroovey: Ah jeez. Now I want to hear more Boston. Shoot me now.
	12:35pm SeanG: hell yeah
	12:36pm Roberto: Come for the lyrics, stay for the instrumental break.
	12:36pm Woo: I kinda love this Boston album. I never put it on myself but am happy when it's on the radio.
	12:36pm Rory: This is the time I usually go for the dark music, but this year I need comfort music constantly. Up yours 2020!
	12:36pm ww: never thought I would see the day....
	12:36pm WoodsOfNH: I have zero guilt for what I like. Listened to this record a TON back in the day.
	12:36pm xtrakrispy: Tom Scholz - a man who has never listened to another band other than his own.
	12:36pm Listener Paul: I think about the band Boston a lot. It's nice to listen to them. I definitely agree with Woo.
	12:37pm Pseu Braun: the guitar duel is so awesome
	12:37pm xtrakrispy: or at least has never been influenced by another band he's heard
	12:37pm ww: Is it gonna get nasty now?
	12:37pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oh man I remember winning this Boston LP on the Seaside Heights boardwalk in the summer of ‘78. Only cost a quarter.
	12:37pm xtrakrispy: Nah! I love me some Boston! It's a thing onto itself.
	12:37pm Roberto: hand claps aw yeah
	12:38pm xtrakrispy: tru dat Pseu
	12:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Friendly hooks from good ol' Boston.
	12:38pm WoodsOfNH: This guitar break toward the end? I had this record and one night I was too lazy to get out of bed to flip the record over. So I sort of hung out of the bed making an attempt....and dropped it on that metal spindle. It gouged right during that break. I anticipated the clicking for _years_ into the CD and beyond era. True story!!!
	12:39pm Rory: I thank South Park for getting me into Boston! Great guitar hooks!
	12:39pm Woo: I have a cat that has been pooping outside the box. Last night she pooped on a 2018 wall calendar I had laying around. Wrong year, I said. Time to go to the vet.
	12:40pm Roberto: Her poop shall not be bound be the limits of time and space.
	12:40pm ratso: The first Boston album is still a great record. It's just a shame the rest of their output was lesser versions of it.
	12:41pm WoodsOfNH: @ratso I thought Don't Look Back had a lot of good moments.
	12:41pm diana: hi years 2016-2020 are all somewhat shit worthy.
	12:41pm ratso: @Woods, yes, but a diminishing return.
	12:42pm Roberto: Diana, it might have something to do with the fecal White House occupant.
	12:43pm Krys O.: Good luck with the kitty, Woo.
	12:43pm Woo: A Man I'll Never Be from Don't Look Back is outstanding. I saw Boston play at the Providence Civic Center for 99 cents, a radio promo when they were first launching. And did they ever lift off.
	12:44pm Chop Scott: The show is sounding great Pseu!
	12:44pm Pseu Braun: Chop Scott miss yr face. xoxo
	12:46pm McGroovey: I've hated every Semisonic song I've ever heard (the radio hits, I suppose), but this is a great song. I hate being proved wrong. I'm going to have change my "Semisonic totally sucks!!" bumper sticker to say "Semisonic somewhat sucks??"
	12:46pm People Like Us: we are decorating the kitchen to your show
	12:47pm Roberto: Maybe they semi-suck.
	12:48pm McGroovey: @Roberto that is catchier, yes!
	12:49pm Bill in W.O.: And hear I'd hoped Scholz would screen for Semisonic. Too much to hope.
	12:50pm mb: Pseu, Pseu!
	12:50pm Brian in UK: Hey Pseu, used to work with Tony Conway, Mood Six's leading light man years ago.
	12:52pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu. This Bill Lloyd song reminds me that Foster and Lloyd were really, really good.
	12:52pm McGroovey: Ugh. Curse you, Pseu! Now I have "Closing Time" stuck in my head. I HATE THAT ****ING SONG! Worst song EVVVVER. Ugh. Now I think I'm going to have to get up and turn the radio off and listen to Captain Beefheart. Except that I have a cat on me.
	12:53pm SeanG: wearing my bright yellow Pseu shirt today :-D
	12:53pm Bill in W.O.: Bill Lloyd just keeps making great music. And amen Krys O.
	12:54pm ww: You mean we can just hammer away, Pesuzie? Finally we can let it fly?!
	12:54pm McGroovey: Sorry Pseu. But I do hate that song.
	12:55pm People Like Us: cooee Pseu
	12:55pm ww: And I have not heard the words "Captain Beefheart" in 50 years.....
	12:57pm ww: You are dead in our sights, sister. And you defenseless!
	12:57pm kppk: oooooh hazelnut~ deluxe~
	12:57pm ww: And you have become one of those TV commercials
	12:58pm Bootsie: TBH the only Semisonic song I even know is "Closing Time" — which I like. I'll have to dig deeper.
	12:58pm Travisano66: F.N.T. by Semisonic is my favorite by far. (I only know two songs by them.)
	12:58pm McGroovey: Yes, I am going to check out the rest of the Semisonic catalog now (well, after this show)(being careful to pick around "Closing Time"). That was a great song you played, and it's totally possible that that one horrible song has kept me away from a great catalog.
	12:58pm ww: I love the feeling of strength surging through my veins. Psezabelle without comments!
	12:58pm Travisano66: www.youtube.com...
	12:59pm ottovonbqe: I like closing time.
	12:59pm eastvanhalen: Tim Horton's is a deeply divisive topic for Canadians just saying (hi all!)
	1:00pm Fox: This week, I caught up to the past month of General Hospital returning to the air, and they had their annual Nurses Ball event, but this year they made it a fundraising telethon for essential workers... and it made me sad because the very last social thing I did before the plaguetimes was help out at the WFMU marathon. I miss the station. :( I miss you, Pseu.
	1:00pm ww: I don't know how you got that nice lady with one L to help out....
	1:01pm Bill in W.O.: Not to belabor the point but in the day my Twin Cities friends were always the ones who were most knee-jerk "eww" when I mentioned my Semisonic fandom and it was pretty much entirely due to hearing them "so damn much." I always thought it was pretty ironic, you're supposed to love the local heroes but there you go. And yeah, ignernt unwashed and newbs, at least check out GREAT DIVIDE and work forward if you will.
	1:01pm johnzo: you rawk pseu!!
	1:02pm chris_in_space: @eastvanhalen Did someone say Tim Horton's? I'm still fine with their coffee. It's everything else that gets the thumbs down from me. A coffee shop is no place for chicken strips.
	1:02pm TVP: They're closing down Tim Horton's stores in the state? That's weird, because from what I've heard (a while back, but still), the Tim Horton's by the Somerville Circle is successful enough that the franchisee wants to open a second one in the area.
	1:04pm McGroovey: Actually, it's one particular line in Closing Time that makes me throw up: something like "go back to the places you will be from". Maybe it's because I do like the choruses and the melody, but the verses are sophomoric. That one line worked rhythmically, and maybe rhymed, so he stopped and never went back and made it good.
	1:04pm kppk: I really want another cup of coffee now...and a donut...
	1:04pm Pseu Braun: I'm finally able to comment! I went online and they have clothes at least two locations in Jersey
	1:06pm Roberto: Lol clothesing time
	1:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Chloe Sing Time
	1:07pm eastvanhalen: @chris Yeah I got out of bed just in time for someone to say Tim Horton's! I've...never liked their coffee? But will agree that a coffee shop is no place for chicken strips. Also they're not Canadian any more and they have lately done some awful things to their workers.
	1:12pm diciassette: I had to jump on to clicky-star this. Hello, and go Bangles!
	1:12pm Woo: Oh oh I love this song so
	1:12pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hi Psue. I like Timmies too, delicious coffee and cinnamon rolls ect. I've only been to the NYC & Montreal Tim's. It's all good. :-))
	1:12pm Krys O.: Another gem with the Bangles tune. Outta the ballpark, Pseu!
	1:15pm eastvanhalen: I've been on a Bangles bender recently, still so good
	1:16pm McGroovey: Bill Lloyd: I do have a Bill Lloyd CD I bought in a dollar bin. It's great. "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants". I bought it because someone I liked (I don't recall who) had covered one of his songs on their album, and it was a great song. I never investigated him further, and never knew he was the Foster & Lloyd Lloyd until now. I'll probably pull it out and listen to it (after the show, and maybe before Beefheart).
	1:18pm Krys O.: I'm getting time confusion here at work typing 2021 on label orders for schools. It seems sooooo far away.
	1:18pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	1:20pm sim: Buying this Samantha Crain.
	1:21pm Pseu Braun: Samantha Crain, love her voice...
	1:25pm Greg: awesome show!
	1:25pm sim: Dang, the vinyl Samantha Crain is SOLD OUT.
	1:27pm ww: Biases? You? "hit the nose on the head"? aargh
	1:28pm Bill in W.O.: @McGroovey IMO Bill LLoyd's never made a bad record ass a solo or duo but Discogs says SET TO POP is going for less than $8 which is ridiculous for a must-own long OOP rekkid and his pre F&L solo FEELING THE ELEPHANT is the same deal, just buy them or whatever hear me now believe me later, etc.
	1:28pm sim: Anyway, DJ Pseu, thank you for the Samantha Crain. That was great!
	1:30pm ww: Finally you speak the truth...re: virtual karaoke. OMG.
	1:31pm ww: "I can't imagine this going well".....no duh.
	1:31pm iiibeat: Pseu The Coyote.
	1:32pm Rory: October Hellraiser! Get your freakcycles ready! Vroom vroom!!!
	1:33pm johnzo: omg totally renting that tonight! yessss
	1:34pm johnzo: I heard 90% of the kids in Agadez play guitar... there's one sad little kid kicking a soccer ball around by himself, the rest are jamming
	1:38pm Hughie Considine: I just tried to look inwardly but all I saw was flannel.
	1:48pm slugluv1313: good afternonn, Pseu! Skeletons! Hookers! ughhhhhh yeah i have ALWAYS despised "Closing Time" too! that song was EVERYWHERE in the 90s, HATED how it remained stuck in your head no matter how hard you tried to get rid of it! THESE dudes though! love their reactions :) youtu.be...
	1:49pm Pseu Braun: That comment is so three sets ago!
	1:49pm slugluv1313: @ Travisano66 -- ooooo i LOVE the album art!
	1:49pm PMD: I am counting on you Pseu to take my mind off of the idiots in my office.
	1:50pm Krys O.: @PMD: I can empathize.
	1:53pm People Like Us: cold as ice cream vanilla sweet
	1:54pm slugluv1313: haha! yup been listening but working, could not catch up until now :)
	1:56pm PNX: This is a perfect song
	1:56pm Pseu Braun: PLU I earlier suggested that you use grass instead of tile for your kitchen flooring
	1:56pm People Like Us: oh I missed that! Must have been carrying things around - yes, that is very practical, thank you
	1:57pm Pseu Braun: No, you didn't miss it... There was a period where I was not able to post earlier.
	1:58pm People Like Us: Peter is not too happy about his painted edges right now
	1:58pm People Like Us: oh so I missed your internal dialogue! I'm sorry about that :)
	1:58pm Pseu Braun: Tell Peter he's not allowed to go to the bathroom until he gets it right
	1:59pm People Like Us: how about you tell him, he would probably fall off the ladder
	1:59pm Pseu Braun: You need to turn your psychic connection to me back on
	1:59pm Another Brooklyn Steve: You are delivering an especially interesting set today. Thanks.
	2:00pm People Like Us: I will have to get onto the boredband company about my psychicness
	2:03pm Peter Horvath: Ahoy from Highland Park, NJ - home of the Band-Aid AND Station Manager Ken!
	2:04pm Tommy in Neversink: Ok dropping in to say hello and BTW you knocked out of the park today.....like every week
	2:04pm Tommy in Neversink: ..knocked it
	2:04pm Peter Kaprelian: peter from kingston new york.WHAT!
	2:05pm Tommy in Neversink: I got to get over to Kingston again for the scones at Mother Nature's Storehouse
	2:06pm Pseu Braun: Hello to two Peters! Hey Tommy,!
	2:06pm Tommy in Neversink: and a few other things
	2:07pm Tommy in Neversink: ...maybe you also knocked out the park...I can neither confirm of deny that
	2:16pm sim: Good little bob-bobbita break in She.
	2:17pm ratso: Ex Tsar guy!
	2:20pm ww: I admit, the gal knows how to rock.
	2:21pm ww: I think that's PigPen, isn't it? Or is that the dust cloud?
	2:21pm ww: Pseu, why do you think we are all here? We're getting help. from YOU.
	2:26pm ww: Joe B is the best....
	2:28pm KWilde: This is such a consistently great show and I'm rarely able to catch it live (always listen to the archive) Edit postponed today! Thx Pseu
	2:28pm WoodsOfNH: Look out, she's gonna play some Misfits!!!
	2:28pm ww: "quote - end quote"! you are killin' me Pseu
	2:29pm Donkey Doo-doo: I didn't know about the Chameleons demo. In my experience their fans are goths and alterna-kids. Maxwell's backroom filled with rowdy UK footballers with a few horrified goths in the corner is a hilarious image to me.
	2:29pm McGroovey: Pseu is also the best. There are too many bests at WFMU. Well, not TOO many. Just just the right many, I guess.
	2:30pm Barney Grubbs: hurray for tony molina
	2:31pm eastvanhalen: I'm on vacation this week and listening from a wee studio in the woods on Denman Island. Awesome as always, Pseu.
	2:33pm ww: McGroovey you are correct, of course.
	2:36pm SledDawg: Tommy in Neversink - just drove through your town on Monday - beauty.
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	2:56pm Rory: What a great show! Thanks, Pseu!
	2:56pm Jason from Houston: This Shadow Show song is great! Looking them up. New to me.
	2:57pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu & everyone! Have a great rest o' September.
	2:57pm People Like Us: thanks Pseu!
	2:57pm Chop Scott: Thanks Pseu! XO
	2:57pm Pseu Braun: THANKS ALL-A YOUSE LISTENERZ!!
	2:58pm Bill in W.O.: Thanks as always, Pseu!
	2:59pm kppk: thanks pseu!
	2:59pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ªʳⁱ૭ªᵗ°♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	3:00pm ww: Quote - end quote, baby!
	3:00pm PMD: Dammit I need more
	3:00pm WoodsOfNH: Despite the lack of Misfits content, great show Pseu! ;-)
	3:00pm eastvanhalen: @woods Furiously painting a leather jacket as I listen
	3:01pm McGroovey: Thanks, Pseu. Now I'm going to go find out what else is good by Semisonic.
	10:19am chickfactor10: Great show, Pseu! I love finding all these gems each week. Take away: Lindsey Mills needs to sing more. I was disappointed to find out she was wasn't the lead singer of Surfer Blood. Her voice is great. XOXO

	12:36pm Listener Paul: I think about the band Boston a lot. It's nice to listen to them. I definitely agree with Woo.
	12:37pm Pseu Braun: the guitar duel is so awesome
	12:37pm xtrakrispy: or at least has never been influenced by another band he's heard
	12:37pm ww: Is it gonna get nasty now?
	12:37pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Oh man I remember winning this Boston LP on the Seaside Heights boardwalk in the summer of ‘78. Only cost a quarter.
	12:37pm xtrakrispy: Nah! I love me some Boston! It's a thing onto itself.
	12:37pm Roberto: hand claps aw yeah
	12:38pm xtrakrispy: tru dat Pseu
	12:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Friendly hooks from good ol' Boston.
	12:38pm WoodsOfNH: This guitar break toward the end? I had this record and one night I was too lazy to get out of bed to flip the record over. So I sort of hung out of the bed making an attempt....and dropped it on that metal spindle. It gouged right during that break. I anticipated the clicking for _years_ into the CD and beyond era. True story!!!
	12:39pm Rory: I thank South Park for getting me into Boston! Great guitar hooks!
	12:39pm Woo: I have a cat that has been pooping outside the box. Last night she pooped on a 2018 wall calendar I had laying around. Wrong year, I said. Time to go to the vet.
	12:40pm Roberto: Her poop shall not be bound be the limits of time and space.
	12:40pm ratso: The first Boston album is still a great record. It's just a shame the rest of their output was lesser versions of it.
	12:41pm WoodsOfNH: @ratso I thought Don't Look Back had a lot of good moments.
	12:41pm diana: hi years 2016-2020 are all somewhat shit worthy.
	12:41pm ratso: @Woods, yes, but a diminishing return.
	12:42pm Roberto: Diana, it might have something to do with the fecal White House occupant.
	12:43pm Krys O.: Good luck with the kitty, Woo.
	12:43pm Woo: A Man I'll Never Be from Don't Look Back is outstanding. I saw Boston play at the Providence Civic Center for 99 cents, a radio promo when they were first launching. And did they ever lift off.
	12:44pm Chop Scott: The show is sounding great Pseu!
	12:44pm Pseu Braun: Chop Scott miss yr face. xoxo
	12:46pm McGroovey: I've hated every Semisonic song I've ever heard (the radio hits, I suppose), but this is a great song. I hate being proved wrong. I'm going to have change my "Semisonic totally sucks!!" bumper sticker to say "Semisonic somewhat sucks??"
	12:46pm People Like Us: we are decorating the kitchen to your show
	12:47pm Roberto: Maybe they semi-suck.
	12:48pm McGroovey: @Roberto that is catchier, yes!
	12:49pm Bill in W.O.: And hear I'd hoped Scholz would screen for Semisonic. Too much to hope.
	12:50pm mb: Pseu, Pseu!
	12:50pm Brian in UK: Hey Pseu, used to work with Tony Conway, Mood Six's leading light man years ago.
	12:52pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu. This Bill Lloyd song reminds me that Foster and Lloyd were really, really good.
	12:52pm McGroovey: Ugh. Curse you, Pseu! Now I have "Closing Time" stuck in my head. I HATE THAT ****ING SONG! Worst song EVVVVER. Ugh. Now I think I'm going to have to get up and turn the radio off and listen to Captain Beefheart. Except that I have a cat on me.
	12:53pm SeanG: wearing my bright yellow Pseu shirt today :-D
	12:53pm Bill in W.O.: Bill Lloyd just keeps making great music. And amen Krys O.
	12:54pm ww: You mean we can just hammer away, Pesuzie? Finally we can let it fly?!
	12:54pm McGroovey: Sorry Pseu. But I do hate that song.
	12:55pm People Like Us: cooee Pseu
	12:55pm ww: And I have not heard the words "Captain Beefheart" in 50 years.....
	12:57pm ww: You are dead in our sights, sister. And you defenseless!
	12:57pm kppk: oooooh hazelnut~ deluxe~
	12:57pm ww: And you have become one of those TV commercials
	12:58pm Bootsie: TBH the only Semisonic song I even know is "Closing Time" — which I like. I'll have to dig deeper.
	12:58pm Travisano66: F.N.T. by Semisonic is my favorite by far. (I only know two songs by them.)
	12:58pm McGroovey: Yes, I am going to check out the rest of the Semisonic catalog now (well, after this show)(being careful to pick around "Closing Time"). That was a great song you played, and it's totally possible that that one horrible song has kept me away from a great catalog.
	12:58pm ww: I love the feeling of strength surging through my veins. Psezabelle without comments!
	12:58pm Travisano66: www.youtube.com...
	12:59pm ottovonbqe: I like closing time.
	12:59pm eastvanhalen: Tim Horton's is a deeply divisive topic for Canadians just saying (hi all!)
	1:00pm Fox: This week, I caught up to the past month of General Hospital returning to the air, and they had their annual Nurses Ball event, but this year they made it a fundraising telethon for essential workers... and it made me sad because the very last social thing I did before the plaguetimes was help out at the WFMU marathon. I miss the station. :( I miss you, Pseu.
	1:00pm ww: I don't know how you got that nice lady with one L to help out....
	1:01pm Bill in W.O.: Not to belabor the point but in the day my Twin Cities friends were always the ones who were most knee-jerk "eww" when I mentioned my Semisonic fandom and it was pretty much entirely due to hearing them "so damn much." I always thought it was pretty ironic, you're supposed to love the local heroes but there you go. And yeah, ignernt unwashed and newbs, at least check out GREAT DIVIDE and work forward if you will.
	1:01pm johnzo: you rawk pseu!!
	1:02pm chris_in_space: @eastvanhalen Did someone say Tim Horton's? I'm still fine with their coffee. It's everything else that gets the thumbs down from me. A coffee shop is no place for chicken strips.
	1:02pm TVP: They're closing down Tim Horton's stores in the state? That's weird, because from what I've heard (a while back, but still), the Tim Horton's by the Somerville Circle is successful enough that the franchisee wants to open a second one in the area.
	1:04pm McGroovey: Actually, it's one particular line in Closing Time that makes me throw up: something like "go back to the places you will be from". Maybe it's because I do like the choruses and the melody, but the verses are sophomoric. That one line worked rhythmically, and maybe rhymed, so he stopped and never went back and made it good.
	1:04pm kppk: I really want another cup of coffee now...and a donut...
	1:04pm Pseu Braun: I'm finally able to comment! I went online and they have clothes at least two locations in Jersey
	1:06pm Roberto: Lol clothesing time
	1:07pm Ken From Hyde Park: Chloe Sing Time
	1:07pm eastvanhalen: @chris Yeah I got out of bed just in time for someone to say Tim Horton's! I've...never liked their coffee? But will agree that a coffee shop is no place for chicken strips. Also they're not Canadian any more and they have lately done some awful things to their workers.
	1:12pm diciassette: I had to jump on to clicky-star this. Hello, and go Bangles!
	1:12pm Woo: Oh oh I love this song so
	1:12pm Stillwell Coney Islander: Hi Psue. I like Timmies too, delicious coffee and cinnamon rolls ect. I've only been to the NYC & Montreal Tim's. It's all good. :-))
	1:12pm Krys O.: Another gem with the Bangles tune. Outta the ballpark, Pseu!
	1:15pm eastvanhalen: I've been on a Bangles bender recently, still so good
	1:16pm McGroovey: Bill Lloyd: I do have a Bill Lloyd CD I bought in a dollar bin. It's great. "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants". I bought it because someone I liked (I don't recall who) had covered one of his songs on their album, and it was a great song. I never investigated him further, and never knew he was the Foster & Lloyd Lloyd until now. I'll probably pull it out and listen to it (after the show, and maybe before Beefheart).
	1:18pm Krys O.: I'm getting time confusion here at work typing 2021 on label orders for schools. It seems sooooo far away.
	1:18pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	1:20pm sim: Buying this Samantha Crain.
	1:21pm Pseu Braun: Samantha Crain, love her voice...
	1:25pm Greg: awesome show!
	1:25pm sim: Dang, the vinyl Samantha Crain is SOLD OUT.
	1:27pm ww: Biases? You? "hit the nose on the head"? aargh
	1:28pm Bill in W.O.: @McGroovey IMO Bill LLoyd's never made a bad record ass a solo or duo but Discogs says SET TO POP is going for less than $8 which is ridiculous for a must-own long OOP rekkid and his pre F&L solo FEELING THE ELEPHANT is the same deal, just buy them or whatever hear me now believe me later, etc.
	1:28pm sim: Anyway, DJ Pseu, thank you for the Samantha Crain. That was great!
	1:30pm ww: Finally you speak the truth...re: virtual karaoke. OMG.
	1:31pm ww: "I can't imagine this going well".....no duh.
	1:31pm iiibeat: Pseu The Coyote.
	1:32pm Rory: October Hellraiser! Get your freakcycles ready! Vroom vroom!!!
	1:33pm johnzo: omg totally renting that tonight! yessss
	1:34pm johnzo: I heard 90% of the kids in Agadez play guitar... there's one sad little kid kicking a soccer ball around by himself, the rest are jamming
	1:38pm Hughie Considine: I just tried to look inwardly but all I saw was flannel.
	1:48pm slugluv1313: good afternonn, Pseu! Skeletons! Hookers! ughhhhhh yeah i have ALWAYS despised "Closing Time" too! that song was EVERYWHERE in the 90s, HATED how it remained stuck in your head no matter how hard you tried to get rid of it! THESE dudes though! love their reactions :) youtu.be...
	1:49pm Pseu Braun: That comment is so three sets ago!
	1:49pm slugluv1313: @ Travisano66 -- ooooo i LOVE the album art!
	1:49pm PMD: I am counting on you Pseu to take my mind off of the idiots in my office.
	1:50pm Krys O.: @PMD: I can empathize.
	1:53pm People Like Us: cold as ice cream vanilla sweet
	1:54pm slugluv1313: haha! yup been listening but working, could not catch up until now :)
	1:56pm PNX: This is a perfect song
	1:56pm Pseu Braun: PLU I earlier suggested that you use grass instead of tile for your kitchen flooring
	1:56pm People Like Us: oh I missed that! Must have been carrying things around - yes, that is very practical, thank you
	1:57pm Pseu Braun: No, you didn't miss it... There was a period where I was not able to post earlier.
	1:58pm People Like Us: Peter is not too happy about his painted edges right now
	1:58pm People Like Us: oh so I missed your internal dialogue! I'm sorry about that :)
	1:58pm Pseu Braun: Tell Peter he's not allowed to go to the bathroom until he gets it right
	1:59pm People Like Us: how about you tell him, he would probably fall off the ladder
	1:59pm Pseu Braun: You need to turn your psychic connection to me back on
	1:59pm Another Brooklyn Steve: You are delivering an especially interesting set today. Thanks.
	2:00pm People Like Us: I will have to get onto the boredband company about my psychicness
	2:03pm Peter Horvath: Ahoy from Highland Park, NJ - home of the Band-Aid AND Station Manager Ken!
	2:04pm Tommy in Neversink: Ok dropping in to say hello and BTW you knocked out of the park today.....like every week
	2:04pm Tommy in Neversink: ..knocked it
	2:04pm Peter Kaprelian: peter from kingston new york.WHAT!
	2:05pm Tommy in Neversink: I got to get over to Kingston again for the scones at Mother Nature's Storehouse
	2:06pm Pseu Braun: Hello to two Peters! Hey Tommy,!
	2:06pm Tommy in Neversink: and a few other things
	2:07pm Tommy in Neversink: ...maybe you also knocked out the park...I can neither confirm of deny that
	2:16pm sim: Good little bob-bobbita break in She.
	2:17pm ratso: Ex Tsar guy!
	2:20pm ww: I admit, the gal knows how to rock.
	2:21pm ww: I think that's PigPen, isn't it? Or is that the dust cloud?
	2:21pm ww: Pseu, why do you think we are all here? We're getting help. from YOU.
	2:26pm ww: Joe B is the best....
	2:28pm KWilde: This is such a consistently great show and I'm rarely able to catch it live (always listen to the archive) Edit postponed today! Thx Pseu
	2:28pm WoodsOfNH: Look out, she's gonna play some Misfits!!!
	2:28pm ww: "quote - end quote"! you are killin' me Pseu
	2:29pm Donkey Doo-doo: I didn't know about the Chameleons demo. In my experience their fans are goths and alterna-kids. Maxwell's backroom filled with rowdy UK footballers with a few horrified goths in the corner is a hilarious image to me.
	2:29pm McGroovey: Pseu is also the best. There are too many bests at WFMU. Well, not TOO many. Just just the right many, I guess.
	2:30pm Barney Grubbs: hurray for tony molina
	2:31pm eastvanhalen: I'm on vacation this week and listening from a wee studio in the woods on Denman Island. Awesome as always, Pseu.
	2:33pm ww: McGroovey you are correct, of course.
	2:36pm SledDawg: Tommy in Neversink - just drove through your town on Monday - beauty.
	2:55pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	2:56pm Rory: What a great show! Thanks, Pseu!
	2:56pm Jason from Houston: This Shadow Show song is great! Looking them up. New to me.
	2:57pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu & everyone! Have a great rest o' September.
	2:57pm People Like Us: thanks Pseu!
	2:57pm Chop Scott: Thanks Pseu! XO
	2:57pm Pseu Braun: THANKS ALL-A YOUSE LISTENERZ!!
	2:58pm Bill in W.O.: Thanks as always, Pseu!
	2:59pm kppk: thanks pseu!
	2:59pm Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ªʳⁱ૭ªᵗ°♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	3:00pm ww: Quote - end quote, baby!
	3:00pm PMD: Dammit I need more
	3:00pm WoodsOfNH: Despite the lack of Misfits content, great show Pseu! ;-)
	3:00pm eastvanhalen: @woods Furiously painting a leather jacket as I listen
	3:01pm McGroovey: Thanks, Pseu. Now I'm going to go find out what else is good by Semisonic.
	10:19am chickfactor10: Great show, Pseu! I love finding all these gems each week. Take away: Lindsey Mills needs to sing more. I was disappointed to find out she was wasn't the lead singer of Surfer Blood. Her voice is great. XOXO
