	♥ 12:06pm spodiodi: this is not a charade
	12:06pm rw: Good morning! Already guiltily dancing along in my head here.
	12:06pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello Mary, David, Lisa, spodiodi, Hopey Sockmonkey!

	♥ 12:10pm spodiodi: 3 for 3, Mary! YES! B^D
	♥ 12:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Mary and left-, right- & middle-wingers.
	12:10pm rw: Oh, man. My next door neighbor in the dorm played the crap out of that Bow Wow Wow record loud enough he would get complaints from kids on three different floors. Playing his favorite tracks several times in a row.
	♥ 12:10pm spodiodi: aloha, Sylvia!
	♥ 12:11pm Stanley: Hi Mary, folks. Sem Sem Sem!
	12:12pm rw: They moved him from the middle of the dorm to the end of the hall to cut down on his sphere of influence!
	♥ 12:12pm Phillippe Bastille: Well, well, well, what have we here? Music? Hotel front desk bell dings? 2 day old leftover sushi? My kinda place!
	12:12pm Mary Wing: Hi there KWilde, Sem, Ken, Stanley and Phillippe! Oh my gosh, Lisa has pledged again! Thanks so much!
	♥ 12:13pm David (in London): I love this Peter Schilling. This and Joachim Witt's Der Goldener Reiter are such top German pop hits. Sem, hello to you! Phillippe, Salut!
	♥ 12:13pm Stanley: Phillippe, I've only one thing to say to you. It's not sushi it's Jiffy Squid
	12:14pm Mary Wing: What's the shelf life of sushi? Two days sounds like it's pushing it...
	♥ 12:15pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey David! Hey Spodiodi, Lisa, Stanley, βrian! And a prophylactic hello to Handy!
	♥ 12:15pm spodiodi: 4 for 4. i'm beside myself
	12:15pm Really Lisa: Mary, you put on a great disco, thank *you!
	♥ 12:15pm Stanley: Hi Mary. I'm only pledging if we have a 'Nostalgia & Tears' moment. So, here's hoping.
	♥ 12:15pm Phillippe Bastille: @Stanley @Mary I figure as long as the fish and rice are different colors I'm good to go...
	♥ 12:15pm David (in London): Oh this is too much! My first band used to cover this (Russian Roulette). I still remember how amazingly chuffed I was when I mastered that ringing riff. Ha ha.
	12:15pm βrian: "Shelf-life of Sushi" Now there's a band name.
	♥ 12:16pm spodiodi: Week old Sashimi <3 yummo
	♥ 12:16pm spodiodi: DiL, nice choice!
	♥ 12:17pm Phillippe Bastille: Let me get this straight: aged beef = good, aged salmon = bad?
	♥ 12:17pm spodiodi: Florida Lee (mzSpodi) is amused by my freaking out over these first 4 songs, Mary. wow. wow.
	12:17pm Roberto: Hay yawl
	12:17pm βrian: Well, there is cured salmon.
	♥ 12:18pm spodiodi: "that sushi needs to rest"
	12:18pm Mary Wing: I don't think there's a 'Nostalgia & Tears' moment in this first hour, Stanley, but maybe later on...? But your nostalgia is way different than mine (or anyone else's, heh) so who knows??
	♥ 12:18pm Sem: Hello, Stanley. Good to see you here, fit and rested.
	12:18pm rw: Mary, you're on a roll. The '80s were definitely your decade.
	12:18pm Mary Wing: Hey hey hey, Roberto!
	12:19pm Roberto: Hey hey Wing and Winglets.
	12:20pm rw: Trying to restrain this goofy grin 100% Whatever is putting on my face this morning.
	♥ 12:21pm Phillippe Bastille: I will say this first set is not something I am entitled to, but it is something I definitely needed! High stress meetings starting at 1:00...
	♥ 12:22pm spodiodi: RIP Eddie
	♥ 12:22pm spodiodi: sit down, Waldo.
	♥ 12:23pm spodiodi: I'm nervous and my socks are too loose
	12:23pm Roberto: Okay yeah so I'll admit it, I was hot for a few teachers way back when.
	12:23pm rw: I don't FEEL tardy.
	♥ 12:23pm spodiodi: rdub!
	12:24pm rw: Hey spod!
	♥ 12:24pm David (in London): Roberto - Likewise. Just as well that Mrs McGuinness never found out what I was thinking in her English literature class...
	12:25pm Roberto: I had no choice. I attended an all-boys' high school.
	♥ 12:26pm spodiodi: 5 for 6 :D w00h00
	12:27pm Roberto: And I didn't drink and I didn't smoke. What dood I do? Not much!
	♥ 12:28pm spodiodi: i've eaten at Sir Ant's table
	12:28pm brainiac: Hi, is this the dance party?
	12:28pm Mary Wing: I spent a shit-ton of money on records and British music magazines, is what I did dood.
	12:29pm brainiac: Of course I missed Bow Wow Wow :(
	12:29pm Roberto: I keep thinking there's a lyric about tofu tofu in there. Which happens to be what I'm having for lunch.
	12:30pm Mary Wing: Hiya brainiac! Plenty more 80s classics comin' through the wires!
	12:31pm βrian: I remember Ms. Zacharewski, I do.
	♥ 12:31pm David (in London): Mary, good on you I say. I did the same (luckily the postage was probably cheaper...) Yo brainiacal one!
	12:32pm Roberto: The daughter of a Supreme Court justice taught at my high school. I won't say which one. I never had her for a class, but if I had...yeah.
	12:32pm rw: Was there an Adam Ant / Bow Wow Wow connection? Definitely a similar sound going on there.
	12:33pm Really Lisa: Saw the Thompson Twins at The Ritz in NYC. Sneaked in w/my sister's ID.. ahh 1982
	12:33pm βrian: @Roberto: SCOTUS?
	♥ 12:33pm Phillippe Bastille: I for one am appreciating the professional DJ-style segues.
	12:33pm Roberto: Yes, that Supreme Court.
	12:33pm Mary Wing: There is, rw, but I don't remember what; something to do with Malcolm McLaren, no doubt.
	12:34pm brainiac: Hey, David in Parens. I'm ready to enjoy some hi-energy transitions by this hot new DJ with you.
	♥ 12:34pm David (in London): rw - Yeah, as I remember they were former Ants and I think McLaren inveigled them away. As was his wont.
	♥ 12:34pm david w: Mary! Hello all!
	12:34pm Mary Wing: HI-N-R-G!
	12:34pm Roberto: Now that I think of it, Elena Kagan's brother taught at my daughter's high school.
	12:35pm βrian: Heard of the phrase, In loco parens?
	12:35pm Mary Wing: Howdy, David W.! Keep on raising the musical bar, and raising the bucks!
	♥ 12:36pm Webhamster Henry: This is 100% shamelessly 80s whateverness.
	♥ 12:38pm Handy Haversack: I'm all dressed up, with someplace to go! Hi, Mary, Wingnuts!
	12:38pm Mary Wing: Lisa, I think I might have been at the Thompson Twins gig at The Ritz, too! It's all a blur now, heh.
	♥ 12:38pm David (in London): Mary, re the above, which magazines did you buy?
	12:39pm Mary Wing: Hello Henry and Handy! Shameless is my aim, dancing is my game!
	12:39pm Sylvia (France-NYC): one of my fav Madonna songs!
	12:39pm brainiac: I'm gonna guess Mary Liked Spin more than Rolling Stone.
	♥ 12:40pm Webhamster Henry: WFMU - your Oldies Station!
	🛎 ♥ 12:41pm Ike: Another FMU DJ dragged this one out a few months ago, I think. Or was it you? It was the first time I'd heard this in years or maybe decades. I loved Young MC briefly when I was a kid.
	12:41pm Roberto: Must a Bove!
	12:41pm Mary Wing: Oh jeez, David In London, usually whatever I could get my hands on: NME, Melody Maker, Smash Hits, The Face, Flexipop, are just off the top of my head.
	♥ 12:41pm Andrew_in_WI: It's funny, station manager Ken will inevitably play Wing on his show and it's like a reminder that I need to turn on 100% Whatever
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: Today's theme: 80's dance party?
	12:42pm Really Lisa: Mary, if you can't remember could mean you had a better time :)
	12:43pm Mary Wing: Hi there Ike, Andrew, and Hubig! All 80s for three hours!
	12:43pm Roberto: Wing and Mary Wing are my two favorite Wings!
	♥ 12:44pm David (in London): Mary, great reads all. Ah, Smash Hits, what fun. I still have a few old Melody Makers, NMEs and Sounds kicking around in the loft I think.
	♥ 12:45pm doctorjazz: Hey, got ants in my pants...
	♥ 12:46pm Sem: Ohhh, Steve!
	12:46pm brainiac: I liked CMJ. I think I still have some of those comp CDs that came with them.
	12:47pm Mary Wing: I left all those magazines at my dad's apartment after I moved out, planning to get them at some point, but eventually he threw them out, argh! Along with my small collection of vintage bowling shirts!! Oh the agony!!
	12:49pm Roberto: Oof bad flashback of Patti and Michael Stipe and a bunch of other rockers singing this at some benefit for Kerry in 2004.
	🛎 ♥ 12:50pm Ike: I don't think I was reading music magazines any earlier than 1989 or 1990. I liked Option but that was hard to find. And I think there was one called B-Side, wasn't there? I usually preferred those to the British ones which were sometimes baffling to me, esp. the one that put a lot of classic rock artists on its cover. I was like UGH WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
	♥ 12:50pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Mary... and Whatever-ers!
	12:51pm brainiac: People Have The Power is one of those tunes that still has the power to make me shed a tear in public.
	12:51pm Mary Wing: Let me remind you all that people DO have the power to keep freeform radio going strong--please make a pledge during our October fundraiser!!
	12:52pm Mary Wing: Oooh, is this our first Nostalgia & Tears moment, brainiac?
	♥ 12:52pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I just read the Flexi-pop mention. I still have some of those flexi-discs!
	12:53pm brainiac: Yup blushing
	12:53pm Mary Wing: Me too, Hopey! Maybe I can find them for next year's Singles Going Steady!
	♥ 12:54pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Mary, that would be amazing.
	♥ 12:54pm doctorjazz: Love this Cars!
	12:55pm Mary Wing: Flexidiscs sound so crappy, though--but when has that stopped me before?
	♥ 12:55pm David (in London): Mary, I think I still have some Bauhaus and Soft Cell flexis from Flexipop, too.
	12:56pm rw: Flexidiscs! I was thinking the same thing when Mary mentioned Flexi-pop. Mary, you've got a year.
	♥ 12:57pm Handy Haversack: I went silent -- sorry. I was making a salad, and a hard-boiled egg tried to fly away, which caused all kinds of temporal confusion around these parts, but hoo! The tunes were cooking!
	12:57pm Mary Wing: Hi doctorjazz! The 80s were definitely The Cars' decade!
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: Second time Aerosmith's "DLLaL" has been played on WFMU.
	12:58pm rw: Okay, I need to get my crap together and get out of here. Will be listening off and on. Happy Wednesday everyone! Keep on dancing!
	12:58pm rw: Oh, and voting, and PLEDGING!
	♥ 12:59pm Handy Haversack: Same to you, rw!
	12:59pm Mary Wing: Toodles, rw!
	1:02pm Hubig Pie: Whole lotta conjuring goin on in me noggin
	♥ 1:05pm David (in London): I've raided the 80s cupboard and am now wearing a lot of clothing which does up diagonally. With jacket sleeves rolled up.
	♥ 1:06pm Handy Haversack: /Diagonal Bloomers: Poems/, by Hoyt Schermerhorn.
	1:07pm brainiac: @David: Pop your collar!
	♥ 1:07pm Hopey Sockmonkey: YES. I love this Thomas Dolby single so much.
	1:10pm Really Lisa: Wow!! Taking me backkk!
	♥ 1:11pm Michael 98145: yup
	1:13pm Mary Wing: Good morning, Michael!
	♥ 1:13pm Handy Haversack: YES!
	1:14pm Mary Wing: Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doooooooo
	♥ 1:15pm Michael 98145: dew
	♥ 1:15pm Handy Haversack: I doo too!
	1:16pm brainiac: OK, I'm enjoying this, but you can't make me put up a Patrick Nagel poster. NO, YOU CAN'T!
	♥ 1:16pm David (in London): I am now wearing my crimson Anthony Price suit and hanging off the side of a yacht.
	1:17pm Really Lisa: Ooohhhh!! <3
	♥ 1:17pm Michael 98145: loving this
	1:19pm βrian: @Handy: that reminds me of that crossword clue, a 3-letter word for flightless bird, beginning with "E." (Egg, of course.)
	1:21pm Mary Wing: Not Emu?
	♥ 1:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: These are the tracks that didn't make it to the Friday dance party this summer?
	1:22pm βrian: Well the egg comes before the emu, right?
	♥ 1:23pm Michael 98145: woof moo e-moo
	1:23pm Symmetry In Mayhem: Homosapien is a very underrated album
	♥ 1:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Really loved the Homosapien album. I revisited it extensively after the news Pete had died (RIP).
	♥ 1:23pm Handy Haversack: I never considered them flight risks until today, βrian!
	1:24pm Mary Wing: Some of them are, Ken, but then I started down a rabbit hole of other 80s music. Over 35 songs didn't make it on this show, heh!
	♥ 1:26pm David (in London): I'm now wearing lots of thick multi-coloured plastic bangles.
	1:27pm Mary Wing: Hi Symmetry In Mayhem, I agree! Is it because it wasn't post-punk and too synthy or something?
	♥ 1:27pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Don't know this Altered Images track but her voice is instantly recognizable!
	1:28pm Mary Wing: Hi S&M&S! I think I forgot to greet you earlier; I was eating, heh.
	♥ 1:30pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: "I Could Be Happy" and "Birthday" are the ones we remember. The chorus of the former, "get away, far away... how do I escape from you" - great stuff. x
	♥ 1:30pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Ha! Yes, lunch time!
	♥ 1:31pm David (in London): I moved to Manchester in 1988 to go to University. Man, this was but everywhere.
	♥ 1:31pm Handy Haversack: Well, money spent at the charity shops goes for good causes, David.
	♥ 1:33pm doctorjazz: Da Da Ds, another fav!
	1:34pm brainiac: It's only a matter of time before 99 Luftballons are flying again.
	1:34pm Really Lisa: Can Freur's Doot Doot be near? The Doo's the Da's, maybe?
	♥ 1:34pm Sem: Still prefer the version w/ Bryce doing the dadadas.
	1:35pm Mary Wing: Sadly, no Luftbaloons or Doot Doots today; they will have to sit in the queue for Shameless 80s Overindulgence Part 3
	1:37pm brainiac: That's something to look forward to :D
	1:38pm Symmetry In Mayhem: Was not sure what was going through their heads when they wrote this. BOOM BOOM was a great song as well. However if you played both songs side by side, you would have a hard it was the same band
	1:38pm Really Lisa: What brainiac posted ^ !
	1:38pm David in London: Brainiac, relax, you don’t have to hurry hurry super scurry.
	1:39pm brainiac: David Says Relax
	1:40pm ike_p: greetings everyone - great mix of music, love it!
	1:40pm brainiac: Say
	🛎 ♥ 1:41pm Ike: I almost never meet other Ikes. Hi Ike. I'm in southern Brooklyn; you?
	1:43pm ike_p: hi ike! baltimore, originally south jersey and all over in between :)
	♥ 1:43pm Handy Haversack: I am now wearing my DAVID SAYS RELAX T-shirt.
	1:43pm Mary Wing: Hello ike_p, welcome! My show isn't normally full of old music, heh, but today is special!
	1:45pm David in London: Handy, here’s hoping my first three singles go straight to number one! Hello new Ike. (And exisiting Ike, too).
	🛎 ♥ 1:46pm Ike: Cool, I'm originally from (rural) Maryland myself and also I love Baltimore!
	1:46pm ike_p: hi mary, thanks! i found the station in august, and i thought i knew music :) it's taken me awhile to immerse, but i consider it a training montage...i can't listen to everyone yet, but eventually i will :)
	1:48pm Mary Wing: Wow, ike_p, you found WFMU in August?!? How did you find us, on the internet?
	1:48pm ike_p: ike, yeah i have to admit outside my family i've not encountered the name often - do you have a weird sense of humor?
	1:49pm βrian: This was one of my prep songs when I was gearing up to wait a double shift.
	1:49pm ike_p: mary, yeah good old google - i found a baltimore dj i love from the 90's doing a free form show here on college radio and i started seeing what else there was free form, and fmu showd up in pretty big letters :)
	1:52pm brainiac: Hey, ike_p. Welcome to the slippery slope. Always room for one more...
	1:52pm ike_p: hi brainiac, thanks! it's truly great to be here
	1:53pm brainiac: Who laid out these white lines on the table?
	1:53pm Hubig Pie: White Lines blow away
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Rubbing this show on my gums! Hey, ike_p! Welcome! A sip quickly becomes a firehose, and that's just fine!
	1:55pm Hubig Pie: Take them Sugarhill peoples to copyright court
	1:55pm ike_p: handy thanks yeah, just the random player can keep me amused to no end
	♥ 1:56pm Webhamster Henry: Hi ike_p! WFMU runs the four streams of the apocalypse. There are also nearly 20 years of archives, and a few non-streamed podcasts.
	1:56pm David in London: Brainiac, I left some sherbet on the table. You didn’t think it was...
	♥ 1:57pm Stanley: Shit, I missed Gang of Four. I've made a couscous salad, anyway.
	1:57pm ike_p: webmaster henry, as a retired it geek i admire your work - great job to you and your presumed team :)
	♥ 1:59pm Webhamster Henry: I'm just a hamster now - I put together a lot of features of the online WFMU and WFMU app years ago, now there's very little of my work around. Praise Kenzo though!
	2:00pm ike_p: haven't met them yet, but praise kenzo indeed!
	2:00pm brainiac: I dunno how to break this to you, but you missed Clare Grogan too. You'd better break out the sprouts.
	♥ 2:00pm Stanley: David - I wish I still had my pirate trousers.
	2:00pm Mary Wing: Cassette Week info: blog.discogs.com...
	2:00pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy...Guess who's here for 3oaK?
	2:01pm Mary Wing: Hi Kevin! No 3oak, this week, sad-face.
	♥ 2:01pm Stanley: It's ol' Weasel, himself.
	2:01pm Hubig Pie: My cassette deck no worky
	2:03pm David in London: Bring forth the schmaltz!
	2:03pm KevinfromBayRidge: "I Will Survive"! I know it's from 1978.
	2:03pm Hubig Pie: Yacht rock
	2:03pm ike_p: mary, fwiw what drew me to your show's attention was finding the playlist where you ran with 8ish versions of cities in dust
	♥ 2:03pm Webhamster Henry: Hey Bard College...
	♥ 2:04pm Handy Haversack: I have an emergency back-up cassette deck with my emergency back-up VCR at the office, which I am not allowed to go to. Something's gotta give! David, take it from hard-earned experience: schmaltz and vodka is a bad combo.
	2:04pm ike_p: that must've been awesome to put together as well as listen along with
	2:04pm KevinfromBayRidge: @ Hubig. But the best of a meh genre!
	♥ 2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: My niece turns nineteen this Sunday.
	2:05pm spaceman one: I saw Walter Becker at the WFMU Record Fair one year. He had a big old stack of vinyl under his arm.
	2:06pm David in London: I am now wearing a sour expression. (It’s Donald Fagin after all).
	2:06pm brainiac: Well-recorded yacht rock is OK with me. More drug references, please.
	♥ 2:06pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The Cuervo Gold, The fine Columbian . . .
	2:06pm Mary Wing: Ah-ha! So all those archive plays are from YOU, ike_p?? :-) I can see how many times an archive has been clicked on, and that show has a lot more than usual.
	2:06pm Hubig Pie: Sure beats Barge Rock
	♥ 2:07pm Webhamster Henry: Speaking of cassettes, that reminds me to plug Bedroom Cassette Masters like I usually do. bedroomcassettemasters.bandcamp.com
	2:07pm ike_p: oh yeah - i'm probably driving everyone nuts then becuase i scanned every active show's playlist archives to find music i can quickly associate with. even with trying to find one song or artist i recognized there's a lot of shows left behind at the moment...
	2:08pm Mary Wing: Hi there spaceman one! There's one more cringey song in this set, I won't spoil it for you but y'all will cringe for sure.
	2:09pm ike_p: one thing i'll say, sun ra is QUITE popular on this station
	♥ 2:09pm Stanley: ike-p haha
	2:10pm Mary Wing: Sun Ra rules my universe, yep. The playlist search function is also your new friend, if you haven't already met it: wfmu.org...
	2:11pm brainiac: Here's a tip, ike_p. Whenever Sun Ra is mentioned, we all reverentially bow our heads.
	♥ 2:11pm Handy Haversack: Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Svantana ...
	2:11pm ike_p: oh yeah - i've done the playlist search fruitlessly searching for artists i know that haven't played here and the closest i've come outside edm was a typo
	♥ 2:12pm Handy Haversack: So this is the way it is, Mary? David, change clothes.
	2:12pm brainiac: get a job
	2:12pm Mary Wing: Heh, change into what, though?
	2:12pm David in London: Oh good one Mary. I am now wearing espadrilles and a Salmon pink shirt.
	2:13pm ike_p: bows head yeah - i embarked on a jazz jaunt about four years ago and i can't get past that whatever happened in the 60s
	♥ 2:13pm Handy Haversack: Greendale's the place to be ...
	2:13pm Mary Wing: He rhymes "buy a job" with "get a job" sheesh.
	♥ 2:15pm Stanley: Glass of Chianti, David?
	2:16pm Hubig Pie: Yeah, but those descending arpeggios
	♥ 2:16pm Andrew_in_WI: Y'all remember back in '82 when Hornsby played un the dead?
	♥ 2:17pm Stanley: Smooth
	2:17pm brainiac: Like it was yesterday, Andrew. Like it was yesterday.
	2:17pm ike_p: oh ub40, my first non-metal concert :)
	♥ 2:19pm Andrew_in_WI: @brainiac Haha, I was actually born in '82, but I did see Hornsby with the Other Ones in 2002
	2:20pm David in London: Stanley, don’t mind if I do, thanks.
	2:21pm brainiac: Yeah, I wasn't going to correct you, but it was several years later, I think. Anyway, check out how much Hornsby looks like Jimmy Page now: scontent-fml2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...
	2:21pm David in London: I am now wearing white socks, slip-on loafers and have a jumper draped over my shoulders.
	♥ 2:23pm Stanley: This was the quintessence of the eighties back then in London. Want to go up West tonight, David?
	♥ 2:24pm Stanley: You're already dressed for it.
	♥ 2:26pm Sem: Speaking of natty dressers, thank you for my Bryan Ferry fix, Mary.
	2:27pm Hubig Pie: Oh this be courtin' music for me and the wifey
	♥ 2:27pm Andrew_in_WI: Can we get a 3OAK of this song? Bill Murray's version is pretty great
	♥ 2:27pm Handy Haversack: The show will end and David's house will be this shambolic Fashion Week---esque scene of devastation, sticky with spilled cocaine and champagne, the last celebratory streamers drooping to fall across the faces of passed-out boldface names ...
	2:28pm brainiac: It wasn't until Bill Murray sang this in Lost In Translation that I appreciated the deep lyrical content in More Than This.
	2:29pm Mary Wing: Andrew, "More Than This" already got the 3oak treatment, sans Bill Murray: wfmu.org...

	2:35pm David in London: Ah Mary, I suspected you might go Pretty in Pink, but you’ve got Forever Now. Superb. I am now wearing a flowery shirt and smoking too much.
	♥ 2:36pm coelacanth∅: (marimba)

	2:46pm brainiac: Mary, you got crucial.
	2:48pm Mary Wing: I hate this part of the show because I have to make tough decisions on which songs to cram in and which will be sadly left out. So these segues won't be as good as earlier ones, heh.
	2:49pm VespaJack: Great Show. This is all the music that was my soundtrack when I first moved to NYC. Yr da bomb, Mary

	♥ 2:52pm Stanley: I hope the punk documentary soon to be shown on Cinema WFMU is available outside the US. I so want to see it.

	12:12pm Mary Wing: Hi there KWilde, Sem, Ken, Stanley and Phillippe! Oh my gosh, Lisa has pledged again! Thanks so much!
	♥ 12:13pm David (in London): I love this Peter Schilling. This and Joachim Witt's Der Goldener Reiter are such top German pop hits. Sem, hello to you! Phillippe, Salut!
	♥ 12:13pm Stanley: Phillippe, I've only one thing to say to you. It's not sushi it's Jiffy Squid
	12:14pm Mary Wing: What's the shelf life of sushi? Two days sounds like it's pushing it...

	♥ 12:15pm Phillippe Bastille: @Stanley @Mary I figure as long as the fish and rice are different colors I'm good to go...
	♥ 12:15pm David (in London): Oh this is too much! My first band used to cover this (Russian Roulette). I still remember how amazingly chuffed I was when I mastered that ringing riff. Ha ha.
	12:15pm βrian: "Shelf-life of Sushi" Now there's a band name.
	♥ 12:16pm spodiodi: Week old Sashimi <3 yummo
	♥ 12:16pm spodiodi: DiL, nice choice!
	♥ 12:17pm Phillippe Bastille: Let me get this straight: aged beef = good, aged salmon = bad?
	♥ 12:17pm spodiodi: Florida Lee (mzSpodi) is amused by my freaking out over these first 4 songs, Mary. wow. wow.
	12:17pm Roberto: Hay yawl
	12:17pm βrian: Well, there is cured salmon.
	♥ 12:18pm spodiodi: "that sushi needs to rest"
	12:18pm Mary Wing: I don't think there's a 'Nostalgia & Tears' moment in this first hour, Stanley, but maybe later on...? But your nostalgia is way different than mine (or anyone else's, heh) so who knows??
	♥ 12:18pm Sem: Hello, Stanley. Good to see you here, fit and rested.
	12:18pm rw: Mary, you're on a roll. The '80s were definitely your decade.
	12:18pm Mary Wing: Hey hey hey, Roberto!
	12:19pm Roberto: Hey hey Wing and Winglets.
	12:20pm rw: Trying to restrain this goofy grin 100% Whatever is putting on my face this morning.
	♥ 12:21pm Phillippe Bastille: I will say this first set is not something I am entitled to, but it is something I definitely needed! High stress meetings starting at 1:00...

	12:23pm rw: I don't FEEL tardy.
	♥ 12:23pm spodiodi: rdub!
	12:24pm rw: Hey spod!
	♥ 12:24pm David (in London): Roberto - Likewise. Just as well that Mrs McGuinness never found out what I was thinking in her English literature class...
	12:25pm Roberto: I had no choice. I attended an all-boys' high school.
	♥ 12:26pm spodiodi: 5 for 6 :D w00h00
	12:27pm Roberto: And I didn't drink and I didn't smoke. What dood I do? Not much!
	♥ 12:28pm spodiodi: i've eaten at Sir Ant's table
	12:28pm brainiac: Hi, is this the dance party?
	12:28pm Mary Wing: I spent a shit-ton of money on records and British music magazines, is what I did dood.
	12:29pm brainiac: Of course I missed Bow Wow Wow :(
	12:29pm Roberto: I keep thinking there's a lyric about tofu tofu in there. Which happens to be what I'm having for lunch.
	12:30pm Mary Wing: Hiya brainiac! Plenty more 80s classics comin' through the wires!
	12:31pm βrian: I remember Ms. Zacharewski, I do.
	♥ 12:31pm David (in London): Mary, good on you I say. I did the same (luckily the postage was probably cheaper...) Yo brainiacal one!
	12:32pm Roberto: The daughter of a Supreme Court justice taught at my high school. I won't say which one. I never had her for a class, but if I had...yeah.
	12:32pm rw: Was there an Adam Ant / Bow Wow Wow connection? Definitely a similar sound going on there.
	12:33pm Really Lisa: Saw the Thompson Twins at The Ritz in NYC. Sneaked in w/my sister's ID.. ahh 1982
	12:33pm βrian: @Roberto: SCOTUS?
	♥ 12:33pm Phillippe Bastille: I for one am appreciating the professional DJ-style segues.
	12:33pm Roberto: Yes, that Supreme Court.
	12:33pm Mary Wing: There is, rw, but I don't remember what; something to do with Malcolm McLaren, no doubt.
	12:34pm brainiac: Hey, David in Parens. I'm ready to enjoy some hi-energy transitions by this hot new DJ with you.
	♥ 12:34pm David (in London): rw - Yeah, as I remember they were former Ants and I think McLaren inveigled them away. As was his wont.
	♥ 12:34pm david w: Mary! Hello all!
	12:34pm Mary Wing: HI-N-R-G!
	12:34pm Roberto: Now that I think of it, Elena Kagan's brother taught at my daughter's high school.
	12:35pm βrian: Heard of the phrase, In loco parens?
	12:35pm Mary Wing: Howdy, David W.! Keep on raising the musical bar, and raising the bucks!
	♥ 12:36pm Webhamster Henry: This is 100% shamelessly 80s whateverness.
	♥ 12:38pm Handy Haversack: I'm all dressed up, with someplace to go! Hi, Mary, Wingnuts!
	12:38pm Mary Wing: Lisa, I think I might have been at the Thompson Twins gig at The Ritz, too! It's all a blur now, heh.
	♥ 12:38pm David (in London): Mary, re the above, which magazines did you buy?
	12:39pm Mary Wing: Hello Henry and Handy! Shameless is my aim, dancing is my game!
	12:39pm Sylvia (France-NYC): one of my fav Madonna songs!
	12:39pm brainiac: I'm gonna guess Mary Liked Spin more than Rolling Stone.
	♥ 12:40pm Webhamster Henry: WFMU - your Oldies Station!
	🛎 ♥ 12:41pm Ike: Another FMU DJ dragged this one out a few months ago, I think. Or was it you? It was the first time I'd heard this in years or maybe decades. I loved Young MC briefly when I was a kid.
	12:41pm Roberto: Must a Bove!
	12:41pm Mary Wing: Oh jeez, David In London, usually whatever I could get my hands on: NME, Melody Maker, Smash Hits, The Face, Flexipop, are just off the top of my head.
	♥ 12:41pm Andrew_in_WI: It's funny, station manager Ken will inevitably play Wing on his show and it's like a reminder that I need to turn on 100% Whatever
	12:41pm Hubig Pie: Today's theme: 80's dance party?
	12:42pm Really Lisa: Mary, if you can't remember could mean you had a better time :)
	12:43pm Mary Wing: Hi there Ike, Andrew, and Hubig! All 80s for three hours!
	12:43pm Roberto: Wing and Mary Wing are my two favorite Wings!
	♥ 12:44pm David (in London): Mary, great reads all. Ah, Smash Hits, what fun. I still have a few old Melody Makers, NMEs and Sounds kicking around in the loft I think.
	♥ 12:45pm doctorjazz: Hey, got ants in my pants...
	♥ 12:46pm Sem: Ohhh, Steve!
	12:46pm brainiac: I liked CMJ. I think I still have some of those comp CDs that came with them.
	12:47pm Mary Wing: I left all those magazines at my dad's apartment after I moved out, planning to get them at some point, but eventually he threw them out, argh! Along with my small collection of vintage bowling shirts!! Oh the agony!!
	12:49pm Roberto: Oof bad flashback of Patti and Michael Stipe and a bunch of other rockers singing this at some benefit for Kerry in 2004.
	🛎 ♥ 12:50pm Ike: I don't think I was reading music magazines any earlier than 1989 or 1990. I liked Option but that was hard to find. And I think there was one called B-Side, wasn't there? I usually preferred those to the British ones which were sometimes baffling to me, esp. the one that put a lot of classic rock artists on its cover. I was like UGH WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
	♥ 12:50pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Mary... and Whatever-ers!
	12:51pm brainiac: People Have The Power is one of those tunes that still has the power to make me shed a tear in public.
	12:51pm Mary Wing: Let me remind you all that people DO have the power to keep freeform radio going strong--please make a pledge during our October fundraiser!!
	12:52pm Mary Wing: Oooh, is this our first Nostalgia & Tears moment, brainiac?
	♥ 12:52pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I just read the Flexi-pop mention. I still have some of those flexi-discs!
	12:53pm brainiac: Yup blushing
	12:53pm Mary Wing: Me too, Hopey! Maybe I can find them for next year's Singles Going Steady!
	♥ 12:54pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Mary, that would be amazing.
	♥ 12:54pm doctorjazz: Love this Cars!
	12:55pm Mary Wing: Flexidiscs sound so crappy, though--but when has that stopped me before?
	♥ 12:55pm David (in London): Mary, I think I still have some Bauhaus and Soft Cell flexis from Flexipop, too.
	12:56pm rw: Flexidiscs! I was thinking the same thing when Mary mentioned Flexi-pop. Mary, you've got a year.
	♥ 12:57pm Handy Haversack: I went silent -- sorry. I was making a salad, and a hard-boiled egg tried to fly away, which caused all kinds of temporal confusion around these parts, but hoo! The tunes were cooking!
	12:57pm Mary Wing: Hi doctorjazz! The 80s were definitely The Cars' decade!
	♥ 12:58pm Handy Haversack: Second time Aerosmith's "DLLaL" has been played on WFMU.
	12:58pm rw: Okay, I need to get my crap together and get out of here. Will be listening off and on. Happy Wednesday everyone! Keep on dancing!
	12:58pm rw: Oh, and voting, and PLEDGING!
	♥ 12:59pm Handy Haversack: Same to you, rw!
	12:59pm Mary Wing: Toodles, rw!
	1:02pm Hubig Pie: Whole lotta conjuring goin on in me noggin
	♥ 1:05pm David (in London): I've raided the 80s cupboard and am now wearing a lot of clothing which does up diagonally. With jacket sleeves rolled up.
	♥ 1:06pm Handy Haversack: /Diagonal Bloomers: Poems/, by Hoyt Schermerhorn.
	1:07pm brainiac: @David: Pop your collar!
	♥ 1:07pm Hopey Sockmonkey: YES. I love this Thomas Dolby single so much.
	1:10pm Really Lisa: Wow!! Taking me backkk!
	♥ 1:11pm Michael 98145: yup
	1:13pm Mary Wing: Good morning, Michael!
	♥ 1:13pm Handy Haversack: YES!
	1:14pm Mary Wing: Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doooooooo
	♥ 1:15pm Michael 98145: dew
	♥ 1:15pm Handy Haversack: I doo too!
	1:16pm brainiac: OK, I'm enjoying this, but you can't make me put up a Patrick Nagel poster. NO, YOU CAN'T!
	♥ 1:16pm David (in London): I am now wearing my crimson Anthony Price suit and hanging off the side of a yacht.
	1:17pm Really Lisa: Ooohhhh!! <3
	♥ 1:17pm Michael 98145: loving this
	1:19pm βrian: @Handy: that reminds me of that crossword clue, a 3-letter word for flightless bird, beginning with "E." (Egg, of course.)
	1:21pm Mary Wing: Not Emu?
	♥ 1:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: These are the tracks that didn't make it to the Friday dance party this summer?
	1:22pm βrian: Well the egg comes before the emu, right?
	♥ 1:23pm Michael 98145: woof moo e-moo
	1:23pm Symmetry In Mayhem: Homosapien is a very underrated album
	♥ 1:23pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Really loved the Homosapien album. I revisited it extensively after the news Pete had died (RIP).
	♥ 1:23pm Handy Haversack: I never considered them flight risks until today, βrian!
	1:24pm Mary Wing: Some of them are, Ken, but then I started down a rabbit hole of other 80s music. Over 35 songs didn't make it on this show, heh!
	♥ 1:26pm David (in London): I'm now wearing lots of thick multi-coloured plastic bangles.
	1:27pm Mary Wing: Hi Symmetry In Mayhem, I agree! Is it because it wasn't post-punk and too synthy or something?
	♥ 1:27pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Don't know this Altered Images track but her voice is instantly recognizable!
	1:28pm Mary Wing: Hi S&M&S! I think I forgot to greet you earlier; I was eating, heh.
	♥ 1:30pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: "I Could Be Happy" and "Birthday" are the ones we remember. The chorus of the former, "get away, far away... how do I escape from you" - great stuff. x
	♥ 1:30pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Ha! Yes, lunch time!
	♥ 1:31pm David (in London): I moved to Manchester in 1988 to go to University. Man, this was but everywhere.
	♥ 1:31pm Handy Haversack: Well, money spent at the charity shops goes for good causes, David.
	♥ 1:33pm doctorjazz: Da Da Ds, another fav!
	1:34pm brainiac: It's only a matter of time before 99 Luftballons are flying again.
	1:34pm Really Lisa: Can Freur's Doot Doot be near? The Doo's the Da's, maybe?
	♥ 1:34pm Sem: Still prefer the version w/ Bryce doing the dadadas.
	1:35pm Mary Wing: Sadly, no Luftbaloons or Doot Doots today; they will have to sit in the queue for Shameless 80s Overindulgence Part 3
	1:37pm brainiac: That's something to look forward to :D
	1:38pm Symmetry In Mayhem: Was not sure what was going through their heads when they wrote this. BOOM BOOM was a great song as well. However if you played both songs side by side, you would have a hard it was the same band
	1:38pm Really Lisa: What brainiac posted ^ !
	1:38pm David in London: Brainiac, relax, you don’t have to hurry hurry super scurry.
	1:39pm brainiac: David Says Relax
	1:40pm ike_p: greetings everyone - great mix of music, love it!
	1:40pm brainiac: Say
	🛎 ♥ 1:41pm Ike: I almost never meet other Ikes. Hi Ike. I'm in southern Brooklyn; you?
	1:43pm ike_p: hi ike! baltimore, originally south jersey and all over in between :)
	♥ 1:43pm Handy Haversack: I am now wearing my DAVID SAYS RELAX T-shirt.
	1:43pm Mary Wing: Hello ike_p, welcome! My show isn't normally full of old music, heh, but today is special!
	1:45pm David in London: Handy, here’s hoping my first three singles go straight to number one! Hello new Ike. (And exisiting Ike, too).
	🛎 ♥ 1:46pm Ike: Cool, I'm originally from (rural) Maryland myself and also I love Baltimore!
	1:46pm ike_p: hi mary, thanks! i found the station in august, and i thought i knew music :) it's taken me awhile to immerse, but i consider it a training montage...i can't listen to everyone yet, but eventually i will :)
	1:48pm Mary Wing: Wow, ike_p, you found WFMU in August?!? How did you find us, on the internet?
	1:48pm ike_p: ike, yeah i have to admit outside my family i've not encountered the name often - do you have a weird sense of humor?
	1:49pm βrian: This was one of my prep songs when I was gearing up to wait a double shift.
	1:49pm ike_p: mary, yeah good old google - i found a baltimore dj i love from the 90's doing a free form show here on college radio and i started seeing what else there was free form, and fmu showd up in pretty big letters :)
	1:52pm brainiac: Hey, ike_p. Welcome to the slippery slope. Always room for one more...
	1:52pm ike_p: hi brainiac, thanks! it's truly great to be here
	1:53pm brainiac: Who laid out these white lines on the table?
	1:53pm Hubig Pie: White Lines blow away
	♥ 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Rubbing this show on my gums! Hey, ike_p! Welcome! A sip quickly becomes a firehose, and that's just fine!
	1:55pm Hubig Pie: Take them Sugarhill peoples to copyright court
	1:55pm ike_p: handy thanks yeah, just the random player can keep me amused to no end
	♥ 1:56pm Webhamster Henry: Hi ike_p! WFMU runs the four streams of the apocalypse. There are also nearly 20 years of archives, and a few non-streamed podcasts.
	1:56pm David in London: Brainiac, I left some sherbet on the table. You didn’t think it was...
	♥ 1:57pm Stanley: Shit, I missed Gang of Four. I've made a couscous salad, anyway.
	1:57pm ike_p: webmaster henry, as a retired it geek i admire your work - great job to you and your presumed team :)
	♥ 1:59pm Webhamster Henry: I'm just a hamster now - I put together a lot of features of the online WFMU and WFMU app years ago, now there's very little of my work around. Praise Kenzo though!
	2:00pm ike_p: haven't met them yet, but praise kenzo indeed!
	2:00pm brainiac: I dunno how to break this to you, but you missed Clare Grogan too. You'd better break out the sprouts.
	♥ 2:00pm Stanley: David - I wish I still had my pirate trousers.
	2:00pm Mary Wing: Cassette Week info: blog.discogs.com...
	2:00pm KevinfromBayRidge: Howdy...Guess who's here for 3oaK?
	2:01pm Mary Wing: Hi Kevin! No 3oak, this week, sad-face.
	♥ 2:01pm Stanley: It's ol' Weasel, himself.
	2:01pm Hubig Pie: My cassette deck no worky
	2:03pm David in London: Bring forth the schmaltz!
	2:03pm KevinfromBayRidge: "I Will Survive"! I know it's from 1978.
	2:03pm Hubig Pie: Yacht rock
	2:03pm ike_p: mary, fwiw what drew me to your show's attention was finding the playlist where you ran with 8ish versions of cities in dust
	♥ 2:03pm Webhamster Henry: Hey Bard College...
	♥ 2:04pm Handy Haversack: I have an emergency back-up cassette deck with my emergency back-up VCR at the office, which I am not allowed to go to. Something's gotta give! David, take it from hard-earned experience: schmaltz and vodka is a bad combo.
	2:04pm ike_p: that must've been awesome to put together as well as listen along with
	2:04pm KevinfromBayRidge: @ Hubig. But the best of a meh genre!
	♥ 2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: My niece turns nineteen this Sunday.
	2:05pm spaceman one: I saw Walter Becker at the WFMU Record Fair one year. He had a big old stack of vinyl under his arm.
	2:06pm David in London: I am now wearing a sour expression. (It’s Donald Fagin after all).
	2:06pm brainiac: Well-recorded yacht rock is OK with me. More drug references, please.
	♥ 2:06pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The Cuervo Gold, The fine Columbian . . .
	2:06pm Mary Wing: Ah-ha! So all those archive plays are from YOU, ike_p?? :-) I can see how many times an archive has been clicked on, and that show has a lot more than usual.
	2:06pm Hubig Pie: Sure beats Barge Rock
	♥ 2:07pm Webhamster Henry: Speaking of cassettes, that reminds me to plug Bedroom Cassette Masters like I usually do. bedroomcassettemasters.bandcamp.com
	2:07pm ike_p: oh yeah - i'm probably driving everyone nuts then becuase i scanned every active show's playlist archives to find music i can quickly associate with. even with trying to find one song or artist i recognized there's a lot of shows left behind at the moment...
	2:08pm Mary Wing: Hi there spaceman one! There's one more cringey song in this set, I won't spoil it for you but y'all will cringe for sure.
	2:09pm ike_p: one thing i'll say, sun ra is QUITE popular on this station
	♥ 2:09pm Stanley: ike-p haha
	2:10pm Mary Wing: Sun Ra rules my universe, yep. The playlist search function is also your new friend, if you haven't already met it: wfmu.org...
	2:11pm brainiac: Here's a tip, ike_p. Whenever Sun Ra is mentioned, we all reverentially bow our heads.
	♥ 2:11pm Handy Haversack: Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Svantana ...
	2:11pm ike_p: oh yeah - i've done the playlist search fruitlessly searching for artists i know that haven't played here and the closest i've come outside edm was a typo
	♥ 2:12pm Handy Haversack: So this is the way it is, Mary? David, change clothes.
	2:12pm brainiac: get a job
	2:12pm Mary Wing: Heh, change into what, though?
	2:12pm David in London: Oh good one Mary. I am now wearing espadrilles and a Salmon pink shirt.
	2:13pm ike_p: bows head yeah - i embarked on a jazz jaunt about four years ago and i can't get past that whatever happened in the 60s
	♥ 2:13pm Handy Haversack: Greendale's the place to be ...
	2:13pm Mary Wing: He rhymes "buy a job" with "get a job" sheesh.
	♥ 2:15pm Stanley: Glass of Chianti, David?
	2:16pm Hubig Pie: Yeah, but those descending arpeggios
	♥ 2:16pm Andrew_in_WI: Y'all remember back in '82 when Hornsby played un the dead?
	♥ 2:17pm Stanley: Smooth
	2:17pm brainiac: Like it was yesterday, Andrew. Like it was yesterday.
	2:17pm ike_p: oh ub40, my first non-metal concert :)
	♥ 2:19pm Andrew_in_WI: @brainiac Haha, I was actually born in '82, but I did see Hornsby with the Other Ones in 2002
	2:20pm David in London: Stanley, don’t mind if I do, thanks.
	2:21pm brainiac: Yeah, I wasn't going to correct you, but it was several years later, I think. Anyway, check out how much Hornsby looks like Jimmy Page now: scontent-fml2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...
	2:21pm David in London: I am now wearing white socks, slip-on loafers and have a jumper draped over my shoulders.
	♥ 2:23pm Stanley: This was the quintessence of the eighties back then in London. Want to go up West tonight, David?
	♥ 2:24pm Stanley: You're already dressed for it.
	♥ 2:26pm Sem: Speaking of natty dressers, thank you for my Bryan Ferry fix, Mary.
	2:27pm Hubig Pie: Oh this be courtin' music for me and the wifey
	♥ 2:27pm Andrew_in_WI: Can we get a 3OAK of this song? Bill Murray's version is pretty great
	♥ 2:27pm Handy Haversack: The show will end and David's house will be this shambolic Fashion Week---esque scene of devastation, sticky with spilled cocaine and champagne, the last celebratory streamers drooping to fall across the faces of passed-out boldface names ...
	2:28pm brainiac: It wasn't until Bill Murray sang this in Lost In Translation that I appreciated the deep lyrical content in More Than This.
	2:29pm Mary Wing: Andrew, "More Than This" already got the 3oak treatment, sans Bill Murray: wfmu.org...
	2:29pm brainiac: Oops, I spilled my campaign on the cocaine again.
	♥ 2:31pm Handy Haversack: Bush Tetras spoiler alert! This Cure album is so great.
	2:31pm David in London: Handy, have you peaked on the webcam? I now have enormous back-combed hair and lots of eyeliner on.
	♥ 2:31pm coelacanth∅: hi Mary and 100%ers
	2:31pm brainiac: hic
	2:32pm Mary Wing: Hi there, coelacanth!
	♥ 2:33pm 83%er∅: no 3ok today?
	♥ 2:33pm Sem: David, you are ready for prime time.
	2:33pm Hubig Pie: I loved that Fire in Cairo 3OAK
	2:34pm Mary Wing: No 3oak this week or next week, sorry!
	♥ 2:34pm Handy Haversack: There will be sax.
	2:34pm brainiac: I'm not brunk, I'm just duzzed. Who hid my keys, dammit?
	♥ 2:34pm Stanley: The Furs. Now ya talkin'
	♥ 2:35pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, yeah, me too -- so good.
	♥ 2:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The addition of Todd Rundgren on vibes really makes this song.
	2:35pm David in London: Ah Mary, I suspected you might go Pretty in Pink, but you’ve got Forever Now. Superb. I am now wearing a flowery shirt and smoking too much.
	♥ 2:36pm coelacanth∅: (marimba)
	2:37pm Mary Wing: I hope ike_p is still around for the next track...
	2:37pm ike_p: where would i go? :)
	♥ 2:37pm Stanley: David - I can picture you, round the flat, with one of those enormous ash trays you get in the pub.
	2:38pm ike_p: nice - i'm smoking a clove no less
	2:39pm Mary Wing: David combed his hair down too quickly, now he has to tease it up again.
	♥ 2:40pm Handy Haversack: It's a rollercoaster -- but worth it for Siouxsie!
	♥ 2:40pm Stanley: I meant what you you used to get in the pub.
	2:40pm David in London: Damn it Mary, I won’t even get my high lace-ups boots and leather skirt done up by the time this finishes.
	2:41pm Mary Wing: It's the 12" version, you got time and I think it will work for the next song as well, heh.
	♥ 2:42pm Andrew_in_WI: I still have a thing for goth girls thanks to Siouxsie
	2:43pm brainiac: lets get to rammin'
	2:44pm Mary Wing: She set an impossibly high standard for goth girls, yep.
	♥ 2:44pm Handy Haversack: Strut, David!
	2:44pm David in London: I’m now doing the splits before I take the guitar solo.
	2:46pm brainiac: Mary, you got crucial.
	2:48pm Mary Wing: I hate this part of the show because I have to make tough decisions on which songs to cram in and which will be sadly left out. So these segues won't be as good as earlier ones, heh.
	2:49pm VespaJack: Great Show. This is all the music that was my soundtrack when I first moved to NYC. Yr da bomb, Mary
	♥ 2:49pm Michael 98145: Voodoo!
	2:50pm Mary Wing: Thanks, VespaJack! It was my soundtrack as well, and I already lived here!
	2:50pm KevinfromBayRidge: Anudda great 'un, Mary!
	♥ 2:50pm Webhamster Henry: Mexican Radio was a nice restaurant in Hudson that shut down when ICE was ramping up.
	2:51pm KevinfromBayRidge: Henry, Radio Mexico, by the Bklyn Bridge?
	♥ 2:52pm Handy Haversack: My god, this album was thirty-five years ago!?
	2:52pm David in London: Phew, I can get out of all that Siouxsie gear now. I’m now wearing a pork pie hat and Wayfarer shades. And drinking a lot of whiskey.
	♥ 2:52pm Stanley: I hope the punk documentary soon to be shown on Cinema WFMU is available outside the US. I so want to see it.
	♥ 2:52pm Handy Haversack: Get all liquored up on that roadhouse corn, David!
	♥ 2:53pm Sem: Nice, love Tom in the afternoon. Multiple dings!
	♥ 2:54pm Handy Haversack: Hell YEAH!
	♥ 2:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks and whatever, Mary. Have a nice week.
	🛎 ♥ 2:55pm Ike: One of my faves. Gosh, could this still be relevant today?
	2:56pm Mary Wing: Stick around for DJ Black Helmet, playlist is here: wfmu.org...
	2:57pm Really Lisa: Thank you, Mary! Been loads of fun listening.
	2:57pm brainiac: Wotta great show, Mary. Thanks awfully.
	2:58pm David in London: Mary, this was so fun it almost made 2020 worthwhile. Thanks an absolute million. Later Groovers.
	♥ 2:58pm Stanley: Thanks Mary for another interesting show. Take care and bye for now everyone (slips through curtain)
	♥ 2:58pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Mary! I will be overindulged whenever you want to do it again! Great ride today! Be well, all you Wingnuts!
	2:59pm ike_p: great show Mary, and thanks everyone for helping me feel welcome - peace
	2:59pm Mary Wing: Aw, no Nostalgia & Tears pledge, I have failed you, Stanley.
	2:59pm βrian: Bah, Mary!
	♥ 2:59pm Stanley: Still got next week, mary
	3:00pm Mary Wing: Thanks for listening today, see you next week for the scratchy little records show!
