	9:38pm sufferwords: 3-D House of Pancakes
	9:38pm Ira: @Jedley: We too never have to wait to vote on Election Day, but we didn't want to wait till next week, even if it meant waiting for a bit. Sure, the show will be extra slapdash as a result . . .
	9:39pm Jedley: Sound choice for sure! Pun not even mildly intended
	9:39pm Joeybug69: Obligatory baseball cliche: this kid Snell is dealing tonight. Loving this rock-steady!

	9:52pm Kevin P: What Dream Syndicate song is that?
	9:53pm Mr. Pumpy: Van Vliet...yeah, baby!
	9:53pm Ira: @Kevin P. : It's my desecration of "Halloween."
	9:54pm TDK60: Wow, haven't heard Big Beans in a spell. Big chunky vitamin of a cut.
	9:54pm Richy4619: Hmph. Thought you were pulling for the Rays, Ira? That's right, Mascara Snake Mr. Pumpy...
	9:54pm ?: You all make feel young(er), positive , and hopeful. As one skunk said to the other...let us spray
	9:55pm Ira: @Richy4619: I didn't say I wasn't pulling for the Rays, I just wanted to make Steve feel like he was in a safe space in case he's listening.
	9:56pm Gary: Thanks Ira and Georgia. Go Rays. My son and I are thinking of baseball players and musicians with same name: Ian Anderson, Brain Wilson, Carlos Santana, Lonnie Smith, Chad Smith, Skip James, Michael Jackson, Joe Jackson, Yay the Captain
	9:56pm Kevin P: Any other Boaty Weekender veterans here? Now it feels like a dream that happened on a different planet. thanks 2020
	9:59pm Ira: @Gary: Terry Adams . . . if you hear dead air anytime soon, it means I'm trying to think of others.
	10:01pm Richy4619: Bellinger with the fly swat at bat lol @@^%

	10:03pm absmiami: Ira [and Georgia] : do you have a favorite Can album ? still searching for that Love 45 - by the way ...
	10:05pm Ira: @absmiami: We were late to Can--those import lp's were so expensive! Consequently, I know their songs better than I know what album they're from.
	10:06pm Gaylord Fields: @Gary: You mean Lonnie Smith, Lonnie Smith, and Lonnie Smith, don't you?
	10:07pm Gary: @Gaylord: Lonnie Liston Smith if that counts. Forgot Chris Taylor
	10:09pm Mr. Pumpy: A Devil's Anything
	10:09pm sufferwords: Floyd
	10:09pm Ira: sorry Gaylord and Gary, I have no Lonnie Liston Smith records cued up.
	10:09pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Gaylord! How do thee, sir?
	10:11pm Gaylord Fields: @Gary: There's also Billy Williams and Don Wilson. @Mr. Pumpy: Hi!
	10:12pm javakid: @Gaylord Bob Stanley of St. Etienne would like in on this as well
	10:13pm absmiami: ah yes import prices! I remember my tortured decision to get Gentle Giant's In a Glass House - it seemed like its cost was obscene! ... record store in my town has all of Can's stuff on the racks gonna dip my toes in the Can waters ...
	10:13pm Gaylord Fields: @javakid @Gary: Good one!
	10:13pm Mister Dobalina: Don't usually tune during this time, but really like what I'm hearing.
	10:14pm Mister Dobalina: *and like...
	10:16pm Ira: @Mister Dobalina: Bob, I'm not taking that personally, that you don't tune in at this time normally because of past experience. In no way did I read your comment that way.
	10:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Gary: One more, then I'm quitting: Steve Howe
	10:20pm Gary: @gaylord: You are amazing! As always
	10:20pm TDK60: Lonnie Liston Smith played softball too?
	10:20pm Gaylord Fields: Aw, Gary, I do okay. Thanks!
	10:22pm Ira: OK, I whiffed on Lonnie Liston Smith, but I'm all over Steve Howe!
	10:22pm Mister Dobalina: @Ira.. I didn't take what you took, as what I meant. But here are a few dineros to the show.
	10:23pm javakid: the Bobby Bittman Show ... with Jackie Rogers Jr. - respect
	10:24pm Ira: @Mr. D: I was joking. Completely.
	10:25pm Mister Dobalina: @iRa...a catalyst...
	10:25pm javakid: @Ira I'll see your Steve Howe and raise you a Bob Welch
	10:27pm absmiami: where did you find .... the Wipers ?? friends of yours ??
	10:28pm Ira: @absmiami: Never met 'em. That whole album is so great.
	10:30pm Ira: Love the eccentrically placed open parentheses on this one.
	10:32pm sufferwords: Dennis Duck
	10:35pm TVP: Surprised nobody's mentioned Kenny Rogers yet.
	10:35pm Kevin P: Saw the Wipers at the Rat (Boston) in 1983. They were excellent live.
	10:36pm Joe B: Jim Morrison www.baseball-reference.com...
	10:36pm Joe B: @TVP - good one!
	10:37pm Joe B: Jack White www.baseball-reference.com...

	10:38pm Joe B: there was a band called honus wagner
	10:38pm Mr. Pumpy: The name for that is 'nomenclapton'
	10:39pm Ira: @TVP: Too soon.
	10:39pm Gaylord Fields: @absmiami @Joe B: Not quite the same when a band is named after a ballplayer.
	10:40pm absmiami: but its my envelope ...
	10:40pm Joe B: Davy Jones www.baseball-reference.com...
	10:41pm Mister Dobalina: Hey, Joe B...that last show of yours was a real Howdy Doody, some real gems, knocked me off my feet.
	10:41pm Kevin P: pirate, musician and ballplayer - the trifecta
	10:42pm Barney Grubbs: Anybody say Steve Garvey yet?
	10:42pm Joe B: thanks Mr D!
	10:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Barney Grubbs: Good one!!!
	10:43pm Ignore Function: The first version of Hush I heard was Killdozer's.
	10:43pm Flimwood: I like the Mookie Blaylock story.
	10:43pm javakid: for bands named after players I'm partial to the Mendoza Line
	10:43pm Charles K.: Whoa.... is this the original basis of the Deep Purp version?
	10:44pm Joe B: Mariners had a pitcher named Jerry Reed in the 80s
	10:44pm Charles K.: I miss my Killdozer T-Shirt!!
	10:45pm Joeybug69: That was an eye opener! Jeannie C. But not the original.
	10:45pm Joe B: wow fran healy! - (had to google the singer)
	10:46pm Jedley: I worry about coronal mass ejections wiping out the entire cloud (btw, almost 100% chance in our lifetime), but then I see the encyclopedic knowledge in this chatroom and I comfort myself that youall will reconstruct the foundation of musical knowledge and baseball tie-ins
	10:46pm javakid: @Joe - how soon Travis is forgotten but most (but not Gaylord)
	10:47pm absmiami: Bernie Williams ??
	10:47pm Gaylord Fields: @absmiami: Haha!!!
	10:49pm Joe B: i knew the band travis but never knew any of their names
	10:49pm Andres: Bill Lee; singing voice of Disney movies and Captain Von Trapp among others; Spaceman of the Expos.
	10:49pm Matt Fiveash: Mariners Pitcher Jerry Reed was hot when he was hot. Streaky.
	10:50pm Gaylord Fields: The floodgates have opened in my brain: Eddie Fisher www.baseball-reference.com...
	10:51pm Joe B: has former Rockies infielder Ian Stewart been mentioned?
	10:51pm Ignore Function: Speaking of. Killdozer, I have a rented copy of the movie, which I've never seen. Namesake of the band. Maybe I should watch it after this show?
	10:52pm Gaylord Fields: Joe, or Dave Stewart?
	10:52pm John L: There is another musician named Bill Lee, father of Spike and very well regarded bass player.
	10:53pm Matt Fiveash: Bill Lee is also the name of Spike's bassist/composer dad.
	10:53pm Joe B: ha good one Gaylord!
	10:53pm Charkrem: That sounds fascinating!
	10:53pm Matt Fiveash: Oops, John L hit the buzzer first!
	10:56pm Georgia: Thanks for playing this!
	10:57pm Joe B: The Iceman Cometh!
	10:57pm northguineahills: can't get enough Canned Heat!
	10:57pm Ira: @Georgia: Since we're talking over the Comments page, you should come in here and check it out on headphones!
	10:57pm Georgia: I think I’m overtaxed myself too!
	10:57pm Flimwood: George Gervin?
	10:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Flimwood: That's next week's game — Musicians and Basketball Players Who Share Nicknames.
	10:59pm Joe B: There was a Jerry Butler who played for the Vancouver Canucks if we are mixing sports
	10:59pm Joe B: p.s. - I officially have no life
	11:00pm Gaylord Fields: Joe, it's the opposite: You have too much of a sports life.
	11:00pm absmiami: almost forgot Ira - you gotta print some more EP's my record pusher tells me that she couldnt get her hands on one for me ...
	11:01pm Ira: @Joe B.: It's easy, when you're just making it up. I mean, who can forget the utility infielder for the Milwaukee Braves, Ray Manzarek.
	11:01pm Joe B: Pete Townshend, The Splendid Splinter
	11:01pm Richy4619: I still can't believe they pulled Snell. Brian Wilson.
	11:01pm Matt Fiveash: There's Lee May the ballplayer and Lee Maye (aka Arthur Lee Maye) the ballplayer/singer...
	11:01pm Joe B: or former GBV bassis Merv Rettenmund
	11:02pm Gaylord Fields: @Ira: "Ray Manzarek" is a perfect name for a middle infielder! Well chosen!
	11:03pm absmiami: was that Arthur's real last name ?
	11:03pm Ira: @Gaylord: Thanks. It does have that Roy McMillan ring to it.
	11:03pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt Fiveash: Hahaha!!! I think that violates the "Bernie Williams Rule"!
	11:04pm Gaylord Fields: on several technicalities
	11:05pm absmiami: since I came up with the BERNIE Williams rule ... what do I win ?
	11:06pm Gaylord Fields: @absmiami: First prize — a Bernie Williams CD. Second prize — two Bernie Williams CDs. (I love that joke!)
	11:06pm Richy4619: Oops, Gary said it first. Will Smith.
	11:07pm absmiami: signed ?
	11:08pm Matt Fiveash: The Manzarek/Patek double play combo for the Royals was a sight to behold.
	11:08pm Ira: @absmiami: That's it. I'm signing off. The show will never get better than that comment!
	11:09pm Joe B: (frantically searching for a guitarist named Kurt Bevacqua)
	11:12pm Mister Dobalina: Miss those Sunday nite, Matt Fiveash, Union Pool sessions. Am I right, might be wrong...my mind fades me from time to time.
	11:14pm Rick G: @Joe B: I mainly know Bevacqua from a King of the Hill episode, ha.
	11:15pm Matt Fiveash: Mister Dobolina, it was Sunday afternoon. Close enough!
	11:16pm Joe B: Rick - I recommend heading to youtube for the Tom Lasorda rant on Bevacqua!
	11:17pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I'm a relative straggler when it comes to Beatles solo albums. (I've always owned more Yoko albums than John albums, even back when they were on par.) I don't believe I even own that George LP.
	11:17pm javakid: you say bevacqua and I think www.amazon.com...
	11:18pm DktrFaustus: Living in the Material World was one of my first solo Beatles albums, love it!
	11:19pm moaty mogulz: Yeah DC !
	11:19pm Joe B: as Rex would say, Miss O'Dell was the worthy flip to Give Me Love
	11:19pm Rick G: @Joe B: damn! Just played it. Saucy.
	11:19pm Mister Dobalina: Ahhhh....drats...I always get something wrong. Nonetheless, I hold tight to those memories. Good times.
	11:20pm absmiami: holy cow nobody thought of Billy Martin !!
	11:21pm javakid: check the allmusic page for Billy Martin and FMU's own Jess Jarnow wrote the biography
	11:22pm absmiami: cool
	11:23pm Joe B: @Rick - my favorite part is 'I'll send a limousine to make sure a hitter like that is in the lineup!'
	11:24pm Jedley: This is the "easy to find online" section of the program
	11:28pm Kevin P: This track stings the nostrils... in a good way
	11:29pm Gaylord Fields: Thought of one more: Jim Beattie
	11:30pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks to this music by The Great Alexander!
	11:31pm Ira: @Gaylord: aka Doyle.
	11:31pm John L: Jedley, I had to test that one. I found Alexander on Bandcamp. I love a challenge, especially one that doesn't require me to get up from my chair.
	11:32pm drowsy: that Alexander track was nice
	11:32pm Happy Holmes: Wow , good stuff
	11:32pm Kat in Chicago: when you don't have a track title to include in the search, that's pretty impressive, John L.
	11:33pm Ira: @drowsy, this is the set I almost never back announce. The Alexander track is on a great compilation with a great name: Nobody Knows This Is Somewhere. Headroom/Mountain Movers . . .
	11:33pm northguineahills: loverly droney set....
	11:34pm javakid: Dukes of Chutney one of my fav releases this year
	11:34pm drowsy: thank you Ira!
	11:34pm John L: Lately I've just been putting the word "Bandcamp" after every music search I do. The Alexander I found is sold out, though. Now I'll have to search for that comp Ira mentioned.
	11:34pm absmiami: if you could - who would you rather treat to lunch ... Billy Martin [the yankee] ... or Captain beefhart ?
	11:39pm John L: And that comp is on Bandcamp. I'll wait until First Friday. That will be the first Friday after the election. Now I am anxious. Maybe I'll just nap until Weds.
	11:39pm Ira: @absmiami: The bar tab on Billy's going to be eye-popping. Is that a consideration?
	11:41pm Rick G: Beefheart used to live in Trinidad CA, on a bluff over the Pacific. I went to a holiday party hosted by his neighbor (around 1987-88). Modest homes but incredible space to live.
	11:41pm northguineahills: Novaga, new to me and digdug, reminds me of Loren Connors.
	11:45pm absmiami: Novaga ... very nice ...
	11:47pm Jedley: As always, l
	11:48pm Eric the Hat: Beautiful set Ira. Thanks
	11:48pm absmiami: and yes bar tab a consideration thats why I proposed lunch not dinner ..
	11:49pm Nardo: @Ira was hoping you would play soundtrack to Dr. Tongue’s Evil House of Pancakes (in 3D), but this show will do!
	11:49pm Jedley: L❤️ving this gorgeous and ruminative trance-inducing set as always
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Hey! cinchel is a very good friend of mine and I was just thinking the Novaga reminded me of his stuff.
	11:52pm Ira: @Kat: That's great. Never saw that coming!
	11:52pm Kat in Chicago: I just texted him :) he'll flip.
	11:53pm Jedley: Plus he's fixin' to sell some tapes
	11:53pm Richy4619: Trinidad! Now that is rich, Rick! Faustus, Jedley you guys are alright! Dag nab dodgers. and hell Yes to this outro set, Ira. Praise to all moms ♥
	11:53pm northguineahills: I dig it Kat, I clicky-starred it!
	11:54pm northguineahills: danks, Ira!
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Jedley! he has a lot of them :)
	11:54pm Ira: I probably won't get the chance to say so over the air, but this is part of a 103-track (!) compilation available on bandcamp, all proceeds going to BLM, NAACP legal defense fund, and Greater Chicago Food Depository.
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: yay ngh
	11:55pm Jedley: That comp is here jmymusic.bandcamp.com...
	11:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Ira! Happy Halloween! thanks, Skeleton Crew!
	11:57pm Jedley: I literally might be having heart palpitations during your next show Ira..... I am gonna try to come but.... I just don't know :-*
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah that's a really good compilation, I played a few tracks from it on my own show. thanks for linking, Jedley, and thank you Ira for playing my dear friend's track out of the literally 106 tracks on that comp!
	11:58pm DktrFaustus: Diggin the Jeffrey Lewis!
	11:58pm goat bruh: Oooohh some Jeffrey Lewis?
	11:58pm northguineahills: Jeffrey Lewis doing a damn good Woody!
	11:58pm Jedley: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you Ira for bringing it
	11:59pm Stevel: Nice!
	11:59pm Ira: Thanks to everybody out there in radioland: the listeners, the commenters, the skeleton crew, my mom . . . Let's get through next Tuesday night together, OK?
	11:59pm spodiodi: be here with bells on
	11:59pm drowsy: thanks for these hours Ira

	9:38pm Ira: @Jedley: We too never have to wait to vote on Election Day, but we didn't want to wait till next week, even if it meant waiting for a bit. Sure, the show will be extra slapdash as a result . . .
	9:39pm Jedley: Sound choice for sure! Pun not even mildly intended

	9:55pm Ira: @Richy4619: I didn't say I wasn't pulling for the Rays, I just wanted to make Steve feel like he was in a safe space in case he's listening.
	9:56pm Gary: Thanks Ira and Georgia. Go Rays. My son and I are thinking of baseball players and musicians with same name: Ian Anderson, Brain Wilson, Carlos Santana, Lonnie Smith, Chad Smith, Skip James, Michael Jackson, Joe Jackson, Yay the Captain

	10:12pm javakid: @Gaylord Bob Stanley of St. Etienne would like in on this as well
	10:13pm absmiami: ah yes import prices! I remember my tortured decision to get Gentle Giant's In a Glass House - it seemed like its cost was obscene! ... record store in my town has all of Can's stuff on the racks gonna dip my toes in the Can waters ...
	10:13pm Gaylord Fields: @javakid @Gary: Good one!
	10:13pm Mister Dobalina: Don't usually tune during this time, but really like what I'm hearing.
	10:14pm Mister Dobalina: *and like...
	10:16pm Ira: @Mister Dobalina: Bob, I'm not taking that personally, that you don't tune in at this time normally because of past experience. In no way did I read your comment that way.
	10:19pm Gaylord Fields: @Gary: One more, then I'm quitting: Steve Howe
	10:20pm Gary: @gaylord: You are amazing! As always
	10:20pm TDK60: Lonnie Liston Smith played softball too?
	10:20pm Gaylord Fields: Aw, Gary, I do okay. Thanks!
	10:22pm Ira: OK, I whiffed on Lonnie Liston Smith, but I'm all over Steve Howe!
	10:22pm Mister Dobalina: @Ira.. I didn't take what you took, as what I meant. But here are a few dineros to the show.
	10:23pm javakid: the Bobby Bittman Show ... with Jackie Rogers Jr. - respect
	10:24pm Ira: @Mr. D: I was joking. Completely.

	10:44pm Joe B: Mariners had a pitcher named Jerry Reed in the 80s
	10:44pm Charles K.: I miss my Killdozer T-Shirt!!
	10:45pm Joeybug69: That was an eye opener! Jeannie C. But not the original.
	10:45pm Joe B: wow fran healy! - (had to google the singer)
	10:46pm Jedley: I worry about coronal mass ejections wiping out the entire cloud (btw, almost 100% chance in our lifetime), but then I see the encyclopedic knowledge in this chatroom and I comfort myself that youall will reconstruct the foundation of musical knowledge and baseball tie-ins
	10:46pm javakid: @Joe - how soon Travis is forgotten but most (but not Gaylord)

	10:51pm Joe B: has former Rockies infielder Ian Stewart been mentioned?
	10:51pm Ignore Function: Speaking of. Killdozer, I have a rented copy of the movie, which I've never seen. Namesake of the band. Maybe I should watch it after this show?
	10:52pm Gaylord Fields: Joe, or Dave Stewart?
	10:52pm John L: There is another musician named Bill Lee, father of Spike and very well regarded bass player.

	11:00pm absmiami: almost forgot Ira - you gotta print some more EP's my record pusher tells me that she couldnt get her hands on one for me ...
	11:01pm Ira: @Joe B.: It's easy, when you're just making it up. I mean, who can forget the utility infielder for the Milwaukee Braves, Ray Manzarek.

	11:03pm absmiami: was that Arthur's real last name ?
	11:03pm Ira: @Gaylord: Thanks. It does have that Roy McMillan ring to it.
	11:03pm Gaylord Fields: @Matt Fiveash: Hahaha!!! I think that violates the "Bernie Williams Rule"!
	11:04pm Gaylord Fields: on several technicalities
	11:05pm absmiami: since I came up with the BERNIE Williams rule ... what do I win ?

	11:06pm Richy4619: Oops, Gary said it first. Will Smith.
	11:07pm absmiami: signed ?
	11:08pm Matt Fiveash: The Manzarek/Patek double play combo for the Royals was a sight to behold.
	11:08pm Ira: @absmiami: That's it. I'm signing off. The show will never get better than that comment!
	11:09pm Joe B: (frantically searching for a guitarist named Kurt Bevacqua)
	11:12pm Mister Dobalina: Miss those Sunday nite, Matt Fiveash, Union Pool sessions. Am I right, might be wrong...my mind fades me from time to time.
	11:14pm Rick G: @Joe B: I mainly know Bevacqua from a King of the Hill episode, ha.
	11:15pm Matt Fiveash: Mister Dobolina, it was Sunday afternoon. Close enough!
	11:16pm Joe B: Rick - I recommend heading to youtube for the Tom Lasorda rant on Bevacqua!
	11:17pm Gaylord Fields: Ira, I'm a relative straggler when it comes to Beatles solo albums. (I've always owned more Yoko albums than John albums, even back when they were on par.) I don't believe I even own that George LP.
	11:17pm javakid: you say bevacqua and I think www.amazon.com...
	11:18pm DktrFaustus: Living in the Material World was one of my first solo Beatles albums, love it!
	11:19pm moaty mogulz: Yeah DC !
	11:19pm Joe B: as Rex would say, Miss O'Dell was the worthy flip to Give Me Love
	11:19pm Rick G: @Joe B: damn! Just played it. Saucy.
	11:19pm Mister Dobalina: Ahhhh....drats...I always get something wrong. Nonetheless, I hold tight to those memories. Good times.
	11:20pm absmiami: holy cow nobody thought of Billy Martin !!
	11:21pm javakid: check the allmusic page for Billy Martin and FMU's own Jess Jarnow wrote the biography
	11:22pm absmiami: cool
	11:23pm Joe B: @Rick - my favorite part is 'I'll send a limousine to make sure a hitter like that is in the lineup!'
	11:24pm Jedley: This is the "easy to find online" section of the program
	11:28pm Kevin P: This track stings the nostrils... in a good way
	11:29pm Gaylord Fields: Thought of one more: Jim Beattie
	11:30pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks to this music by The Great Alexander!
	11:31pm Ira: @Gaylord: aka Doyle.
	11:31pm John L: Jedley, I had to test that one. I found Alexander on Bandcamp. I love a challenge, especially one that doesn't require me to get up from my chair.
	11:32pm drowsy: that Alexander track was nice
	11:32pm Happy Holmes: Wow , good stuff
	11:32pm Kat in Chicago: when you don't have a track title to include in the search, that's pretty impressive, John L.
	11:33pm Ira: @drowsy, this is the set I almost never back announce. The Alexander track is on a great compilation with a great name: Nobody Knows This Is Somewhere. Headroom/Mountain Movers . . .
	11:33pm northguineahills: loverly droney set....
	11:34pm javakid: Dukes of Chutney one of my fav releases this year
	11:34pm drowsy: thank you Ira!
	11:34pm John L: Lately I've just been putting the word "Bandcamp" after every music search I do. The Alexander I found is sold out, though. Now I'll have to search for that comp Ira mentioned.
	11:34pm absmiami: if you could - who would you rather treat to lunch ... Billy Martin [the yankee] ... or Captain beefhart ?
	11:39pm John L: And that comp is on Bandcamp. I'll wait until First Friday. That will be the first Friday after the election. Now I am anxious. Maybe I'll just nap until Weds.
	11:39pm Ira: @absmiami: The bar tab on Billy's going to be eye-popping. Is that a consideration?
	11:41pm Rick G: Beefheart used to live in Trinidad CA, on a bluff over the Pacific. I went to a holiday party hosted by his neighbor (around 1987-88). Modest homes but incredible space to live.
	11:41pm northguineahills: Novaga, new to me and digdug, reminds me of Loren Connors.
	11:45pm absmiami: Novaga ... very nice ...
	11:47pm Jedley: As always, l
	11:48pm Eric the Hat: Beautiful set Ira. Thanks
	11:48pm absmiami: and yes bar tab a consideration thats why I proposed lunch not dinner ..
	11:49pm Nardo: @Ira was hoping you would play soundtrack to Dr. Tongue’s Evil House of Pancakes (in 3D), but this show will do!
	11:49pm Jedley: L❤️ving this gorgeous and ruminative trance-inducing set as always
	11:50pm Kat in Chicago: Hey! cinchel is a very good friend of mine and I was just thinking the Novaga reminded me of his stuff.
	11:52pm Ira: @Kat: That's great. Never saw that coming!
	11:52pm Kat in Chicago: I just texted him :) he'll flip.
	11:53pm Jedley: Plus he's fixin' to sell some tapes
	11:53pm Richy4619: Trinidad! Now that is rich, Rick! Faustus, Jedley you guys are alright! Dag nab dodgers. and hell Yes to this outro set, Ira. Praise to all moms ♥
	11:53pm northguineahills: I dig it Kat, I clicky-starred it!
	11:54pm northguineahills: danks, Ira!
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Jedley! he has a lot of them :)
	11:54pm Ira: I probably won't get the chance to say so over the air, but this is part of a 103-track (!) compilation available on bandcamp, all proceeds going to BLM, NAACP legal defense fund, and Greater Chicago Food Depository.
	11:54pm Kat in Chicago: yay ngh
	11:55pm Jedley: That comp is here jmymusic.bandcamp.com...
	11:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Ira! Happy Halloween! thanks, Skeleton Crew!
	11:57pm Jedley: I literally might be having heart palpitations during your next show Ira..... I am gonna try to come but.... I just don't know :-*
	11:58pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah that's a really good compilation, I played a few tracks from it on my own show. thanks for linking, Jedley, and thank you Ira for playing my dear friend's track out of the literally 106 tracks on that comp!
