	🥁 9:04pm Yvang: Punk nap for me.
	9:06pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Mike, tardigrades
	🥁 9:07pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Down on Me" by "The Jesus and Mary Chain" Darklands was one of the first CDs I ever bought. It sounded so clean. I still own it and it is skipping forever.
	🥁 9:07pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:04 With that gif, tardi-ness is not appealing.
	9:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:04 Laptop Metal Nap. That is the way.

	🥁 9:12pm Alex from Media: Wendy!
	9:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @9:12 Yay Alex! Your avatar is making my heart happy.
	9:15pm coelacanth∅: back when snoopy was just an innocent puppy enjoying what Life had to offer. before joe cool.
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Me & You Remembering + Windmilling" by "Firehose" My dear friend Listener Ed From New Beige told me this morning that Mike Watt is playing at a venue 30 minutes' drive from my house two days before my birthday. I'M PSYCHED!
	9:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:12 No promises, but there may be opportunities for Peanuts-style dancing in set #2.
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:16 I am always prepared for such events. I was born ready.
	9:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:16 Nice! I've somehow only seen him perform once (with Firehose, at Maxwell's around when this record came out.) He changed a busted bass string in the middle of a song while he continued to play and that was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen up to that point in my life.
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: i never did determine which peanuts character i danced like external-content.duckduckgo.com... maybe violet 9if that's violet)
	9:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:18 I've only seen him once, too, and at Maxwell's with the Missingmen. I was there with Our Donna Gateway to Joy and RSMoore. I have an enormous crush on Watt and after the show they were talking to him and he was standing right next to me and I was too shy to say anything. I am less shy now, but still... blushes
	9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: Meanwhile, this first set is kicking so much ass, Mike Lupica!
	9:22pm Mike Lupica: "WFMU's Donna, Wendy, and R Stevie Moore walk into a bar..." is a great setup for a joke aimed at a vanishingly small slice of the population.
	9:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:22 Well alrighty then!
	🥁 9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: showered... shaved ....precious bodily fluids?...working on that....
	9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:22 I am laughing and also shedding a little tear. And proud to be part of that small slice.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: (the female Donna, or Donna Summer?)
	🥁 9:26pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "I'm Alive" by "Johnny Thunder" This Johnny Thunder I didn't know existed. Oh no! He was still alive three months ago!
	9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:26 Gateway to Joy Donna.
	9:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:26 Did he really just die??!
	🥁 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Legend of a Mind" by "The Moody Blues" ...and timothy leary's dead ...not even the title... would nave made a nice televisionpersonalities cover
	🥁 9:27pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @9:26 He left us september 6th en.wikipedia.org...
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:27 Thank you. didn't mean to butt-in.
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:27 Ack!!!
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:27 Ha! Yes, sounds like a Dan Treacy-ism for sure.
	9:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Legend of a Mind" by "The Moody Blues" HEADPHONES ON FOR THIS PART
	🥁 9:29pm egal: the weather underground freed Leary from prison (for a price).
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:28 You're welcome. It's a public playlist, so it's okay to join in.
	🥁 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Legend of a Mind" by "The Moody Blues" has such spiritualized vibes...
	🥁 9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 i am getting more than what i expect from moody blues
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:30 Donna just did a fill-in recently (which i sadly missed most of) but i'll guess that most current wfmu listeners don't know who Donna Summer was ...the good old days
	9:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:32 I listened to her fill-in. It was so damn good.
	9:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:34 gotta check out the archive
	9:38pm DL in LA: Hi all. Is “moody blues” redundant? Or not, because drugs?
	🥁 9:39pm Alex from Media: Pronunciation check. Wouldnt louse be pronounced as in the singular of Lice? Or is there inside info on pronunciation coming straight from the Louses mouth?
	9:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ DL in LA @9:38 Definitely because drugs.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Me & You Remembering + Windmilling" by "Firehose" i have a few records like that -mostly 90s releases. i think they were of low-quality material and couldn't take being stored in what i know now to be too tightly between other albums.
	9:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:39 I'm just reading off the piece of paper the Starlite Lounge intern handed me, man!
	🥁 9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: by the standards of chocolate watchbands and strawberry alarm clocks ...moody blues is pretty coherent
	🥁 9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Strong Feelings" by "Dry Cleaning" this is pretty seductive but has me wondering if it's geared toward everyone's inner sex dungeon slave
	🥁 9:45pm egal: moody blues were a rhythm and blues band until denny Laine left. then they moved in the prog direction.
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: moody means easily swinging from one mood to another; blues means sad, or longing; chocolate watchband means a leather watchband of a rich brown hue; strawberry alarmclock means poseur nonsense!
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 I dunno, but I certainly hope we can all agree to let our inner sex dungeon slaves free before this show wraps up at 12.
	9:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 Hahaha!
	🥁 9:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 not to good at reading class stratospheres in brit accents....but i'd say that was an upper class accent in which case it speaks dungeon...
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:46 i'll be at work by midnight. is this going to be another one of those embarrassing episodes?
	9:48pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:48 Wait, there's another kind of episode?
	🥁 9:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:46 yes safe word ...mood blues...
	9:49pm Mike Lupica: I am an embarrassing episode 24/7.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:48 not for me!
	🥁 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 you're making this up !!..... ; )
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:49 haha!
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:50 well, it's true the latter 2 are interpretations!
	🥁 9:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Machete" by "Live Skull" the dude in gif looks quite funny....wonder what show....
	9:52pm chresti: Machete by Live Skull (Dusted) 🔥🔥🔥
	🥁 9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:51 ah you came clean...you didn't have to
	9:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:52 That's David Mitchell -- he's a scream. Gif is probably from his old show "Mitchell and Webb" which is a scream. He's also great on the British TV show "Would I Lie to You"
	9:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:52 YES! That was a big fave years ago, haven't played it in eons. Sounded great to hear again. Also, I think I heard they (somehow) have a new record?
	🥁 9:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:53 i know the name ...did not know what face to attach it to thx
	🥁 9:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "One More Death" by "Goat" budgie vibe...no...?
	🥁 9:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One More Death" by "Goat" Here we go! 🤘🤘🤘
	🥁 9:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:56 i find these psychedelic meltdowns quite affecting
	🥁 9:58pm tom tom the pipers son: simmering now
	🥁 9:58pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:56 Weird thing is they're from Sweden.
	10:00pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Les Crimes" by "Party Dozen" This is fun
	🥁 10:00pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One More Death" by "Goat" Just scanned some vids of GOAT. They've got the mask thing going on like the album cover. Pretty cool looking.
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: Goat is a great example of a band whose popularity I am utterly unable to guesstimate. I've never seen them live, and I imagine that most people would find them very off-putting. But I recently saw a YouTube vid of them playing a festival in Europe in front of like 10,000 people all moshing and chewing drugs and singing along. I know, I know, "Europe", etc. But still...
	🥁 10:00pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Les Crimes" by "Party Dozen" That bass!
	🥁 10:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @9:58 oh...but budgie had to have traveled from wales to sweden...no...?
	10:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Aitch @10:00 Aye! The farty synth checkbox of tonight's show is now complete.
	10:01pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:01 Love some farty synth
	🥁 10:02pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:01 My farty synth weekly dose is why I am here!
	🥁 10:02pm Alex from Media: Yes to farty synths!
	🥁 10:03pm Yvang: Let's make a band! A farty synth one.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: hit it with a hammer
	🥁 10:07pm Chop Scott: Well done Mike!
	10:07pm StringOFperils: Now with 10% MORE lick the contact.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 ILL ADVISED!
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:07 Thank you, I take a lot of pride in my work.
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: i liked that right>left contact thing you just played but it's too short
	🥁 10:12pm Alex from Media: So peanut gallery, what is the best contact cleaning solution? Precious bodily fluids aside.
	10:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:12 Chop Scott, I'll let you take this one.
	🥁 10:14pm Chop Scott: Deoxit D5 spray.
	🥁 10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Chop Scott @10:14 Much appreciated, Thanks!
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: hey, Mike! I use paper maps!
	🥁 10:25pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry How a Small Group of Indian Movie Stars Burst Out of Miley Cyrus and Gave Showgirl Pathos To Song as Prison Atrocities Come Into the Light on The Under-the-Radar Island That Evokes Bali and Calls to Mind a 1970s Spy Movie
	🥁 10:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 Trippy! Missed the showgirl pathos headline.
	🥁 10:29pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 By shooting an horror bollywood movie in Syria?
	🥁 10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:28 that did pertain to miley cyrus
	🥁 10:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:29 I reckon so.
	🥁 10:32pm Yvang: Belated bottle opener alert.
	🥁 10:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:29 i was thinking it could be made ken burns (blech) style with still images
	🥁 10:33pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:32 Oh, I though I was having waking dreams of beer again.
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:32 😉
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:33 It's a Guinness night here in the Starlite Lounge.
	🥁 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: it's a cacio de pepe with a can of tuna thrown in night in queens
	🥁 10:37pm egal: feels like the cafe wha.
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:36 That's a perfectly good meal for Sunday night.
	10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:37 Smells a bit like it up in here, too.
	🥁 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: a "favorite" ny times word of the moment is "fealty" for full licking the boot flava.... seems the word comes op quite a lot
	🥁 10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:38 thanks mike....i'm having it with some "seltzered" down coke which acts nicely with the peppery-ness
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: it's tea time for this tard. so i can stay 1/2 awake for the next 7 hours.
	10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Concrete Jungle" by "Bob Marley & the Wailers" I find I like the Bob Marley & The Wailers songs I haven't heard a million effin' times. This is nice.
	🥁 10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:44 you have an assam or something like...?
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Concrete Jungle" by "Bob Marley & the Wailers" what a great album. and check out Mr.McIntosh, coolest thing on wheels. rest in peace, all 3.
	10:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:46 The simple rule of thumb is to just avoid "Legend", and pretty much everything else is great.
	10:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 Ah, duly noted. Thanks, Mike!
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 catch a fire through exodus is the sweet spot, in my opinion.
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:46 lyons green box (irish tea) 2 bags
	🥁 10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: my christmas song this year toots and the maytals "christmas feeling" heard on explorers room the other day
	10:50pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:49 Co-signed!
	🥁 10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:49 hmm... seems like that's cutting things close....maybe make largest quantity possible with the two bags...?
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: i'm already tardigrade. Thanks Mike! 'night
	🥁 10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: see ya...
	🥁 10:57pm Alex from Media: Work hard, get ahead Coel!
	10:57pm Mike Lupica: Thanks for hangin' out for a bit!
	10:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Stan Clear & The Closing Doors" Farty synths, part two
	🥁 11:00pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Stan Clear & The Closing Doors" Thought I was getting Fred from Jupiter for a couple notes there.
	11:02pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Stan Clear & The Closing Doors" Wow, loved this Eno cover!
	11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @11:02 mee too.
	11:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @11:02 Taking Tiger Mountain By Farty Synth Stratgies
	11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Lonely Planet Boy" by "The New York Dolls" This song breaks my heart every time I hear it.
	11:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:06 ...and I love it. I bought this LP at the ol' Venus Records on St. Marks when I was 17 or 18. I still remember how happy I was when I found it.
	11:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:06 Can't get over how much of a blueprint for Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arm Around a Memory" it seems to be.
	11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:07 Totally. When I saw the Dolls play down at the South St Seaport in 2005 or whenever, they did both songs as a medley.
	11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 I think I paid $2 for it, too, because at that point nobody cared about vinyl or The Dolls. Woulda been 1992-ish.
	🥁 11:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "乘風 Riding on the Wind" by "英水帝江 Ying Shui Di Jiang" I blissed out to this. Good choice.
	11:14pm Numero 6: Okay, disco nap is over!
	11:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm not being irresponsible. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow until just before 3pm.
	11:17pm Charlie: It's only 9:15 where I am, and I have Mondays off!
	11:18pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Loraine" by "Linton Kwesi Johnson" Mad love for LKJ
	11:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @11:18 Yes! First heard him on college radio in the 80s and was instantly hooked.
	11:19pm GT: Yeah sorry about the drones, I don't live in New Jersey so I thought it would be a good way to pick up the radio signal, but thankfully I found the stream!
	11:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ GT @11:19 Your secret is safe with us...
	11:22pm GT: Not sure what to do with all these drones now though, they were pretty expensive. maybe I'll try to sell some of my recordings to Iran?
	11:23pm GT: Though they probably have access to the archive so they probably won't be worth much
	11:24pm Numero 6: ↳ Song: "Hermosa Drive" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez" That tumbleweed rolling around is funny looking.
	11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: Well, I am pretty tired and should make my way to bed. Thanks for the fine, fine tunes, Mike. Good night, everybunny.
	🥁 11:30pm Alex from Media: Nite Wendy.
	11:30pm Mike Lupica: See ya, Wendy!
	🥁 11:31pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:29 See you tomorrow Wendy, on the radio!
	11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @11:31 Yay!
	11:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "From Temptation To You" by "Jeffrey Lee Pierce" A record whose album cover looks exactly the way that song sounds.
	🥁 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:34 when will record covers have animated gifs on them
	🥁 11:37pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Club Roma" by "Johnny Coley" I really like this. Dunno Johnny Coley.
	11:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 What sorcery do you speak!? (Actually, that's an amazing idea which will probably only even happen on Spotify.)
	🥁 11:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 when screens are so malleable they can be printed
	🥁 11:38pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 When tattos will start singing.
	11:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:37 I didn't either until this record, but it's great. "Transcendental poetry meets Southern Nightmare Jazz on the third album by Alabama-based poet & artist"
	🥁 11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:37 an evolution of the lenticular lens
	🥁 11:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 Niche genre that.
	🥁 11:39pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 A blend of Iggy and WS Burroughs in that voice...
	11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:39 All the cool kids are into it.
	🥁 11:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:38 if maya angelou were still alive that would be the title of her next book
	11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @11:39 Yes!
	🥁 11:42pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "If I Were a Carpenter" by "Bob Seger" I'm gonna put this in the "Like in spite of myself" column with the Oasis.
	11:44pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:42 Don't fear the old S.G. records, they are incredibly soulful and often rock like the MC5. I just checked the FMU playlist database and see that I first played that song in September of 2005, then again in June of 2006... and then again tonight.
	11:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 Wow, spectacular typo there. That should be "Bob Seger", not "S.G." -- wherever that came from.
	11:46pm Numero 6: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 The Rolling Stones kinda did that a long time ago.
	11:47pm Mike Lupica: I maintain that divorced from all of the cultural baggage, "Night Moves" is an incredibly sad and beautiful song. I hope this isn't controversial.
	🥁 11:48pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:47 OK Im there on that. The problem isnt that these old tunes are bad, just that they're overplayed. If you let them lie fallow for a while and come back with a fresh ear you hear it again.
	🥁 11:48pm Yvang: ↳ Numero 6 @11:46 Yes the lenticular prints were the animated gifs of the 1970's!
	🥁 11:49pm Roberto: I sleeped too mutch
	11:51pm StringOFperils: Thanks for playing the records, Mike!
	🥁 11:52pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike, have a good one...
	🥁 11:53pm Alex from Media: Thanks Mike, so glad I made it to this last set. Really enjoyed the show.
	🥁 11:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Numero 6 @11:46 a gif would be next level of that
	🥁 11:54pm Chop Scott: Bravo Mike! Thanks as ever...
	🥁 11:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:53 if it becomes possible to print out a screen like a photograph
	🥁 11:55pm Yvang: Thanks Mike for the great spins!
	11:57pm Numero 6: Thanks Mike, BCNU!
	🥁 11:57pm egal: well played.
	11:57pm Charlie: Thanks for the great stuff, Mike!
	🥁 11:58pm Roberto: I did promise I would be late, but this is ridic.
	2:27pm Peteski: Hey Mike, you sound good! what DAY is it? where am I? I can't feel my hands.
	2:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Peteski @2:27 Peteski! Good to know that if I'm still here, YOU'RE STILL HERE. Also, I have no idea what year it is so don't trouble me with your talk of "days".

	9:04pm Mike Lupica: Greetings pitcrew! Great to see everyone so punctual!
	9:04pm Numero 6: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:02 I didn't know that Joe Frank did an interview on WFMU some years back!
	🥁 9:04pm Yvang: Punk nap for me.
	9:06pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Mike, tardigrades
	🥁 9:07pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Down on Me" by "The Jesus and Mary Chain" Darklands was one of the first CDs I ever bought. It sounded so clean. I still own it and it is skipping forever.
	🥁 9:07pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:04 With that gif, tardi-ness is not appealing.
	9:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:04 Laptop Metal Nap. That is the way.

	9:15pm coelacanth∅: back when snoopy was just an innocent puppy enjoying what Life had to offer. before joe cool.
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Me & You Remembering + Windmilling" by "Firehose" My dear friend Listener Ed From New Beige told me this morning that Mike Watt is playing at a venue 30 minutes' drive from my house two days before my birthday. I'M PSYCHED!
	9:16pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:12 No promises, but there may be opportunities for Peanuts-style dancing in set #2.
	9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:16 I am always prepared for such events. I was born ready.
	9:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:16 Nice! I've somehow only seen him perform once (with Firehose, at Maxwell's around when this record came out.) He changed a busted bass string in the middle of a song while he continued to play and that was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen up to that point in my life.
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: i never did determine which peanuts character i danced like external-content.duckduckgo.com... maybe violet 9if that's violet)
	9:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:18 I've only seen him once, too, and at Maxwell's with the Missingmen. I was there with Our Donna Gateway to Joy and RSMoore. I have an enormous crush on Watt and after the show they were talking to him and he was standing right next to me and I was too shy to say anything. I am less shy now, but still... blushes
	9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: Meanwhile, this first set is kicking so much ass, Mike Lupica!
	9:22pm Mike Lupica: "WFMU's Donna, Wendy, and R Stevie Moore walk into a bar..." is a great setup for a joke aimed at a vanishingly small slice of the population.
	9:22pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:22 Well alrighty then!
	🥁 9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: showered... shaved ....precious bodily fluids?...working on that....
	9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:22 I am laughing and also shedding a little tear. And proud to be part of that small slice.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: (the female Donna, or Donna Summer?)
	🥁 9:26pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "I'm Alive" by "Johnny Thunder" This Johnny Thunder I didn't know existed. Oh no! He was still alive three months ago!
	9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:26 Gateway to Joy Donna.
	9:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:26 Did he really just die??!
	🥁 9:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Legend of a Mind" by "The Moody Blues" ...and timothy leary's dead ...not even the title... would nave made a nice televisionpersonalities cover
	🥁 9:27pm Yvang: ↳ Yvang @9:26 He left us september 6th en.wikipedia.org...
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:27 Thank you. didn't mean to butt-in.
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:27 Ack!!!
	9:28pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:27 Ha! Yes, sounds like a Dan Treacy-ism for sure.
	9:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Legend of a Mind" by "The Moody Blues" HEADPHONES ON FOR THIS PART
	🥁 9:29pm egal: the weather underground freed Leary from prison (for a price).
	9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:28 You're welcome. It's a public playlist, so it's okay to join in.
	🥁 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Legend of a Mind" by "The Moody Blues" has such spiritualized vibes...
	🥁 9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 i am getting more than what i expect from moody blues
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:30 Donna just did a fill-in recently (which i sadly missed most of) but i'll guess that most current wfmu listeners don't know who Donna Summer was ...the good old days
	9:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:32 I listened to her fill-in. It was so damn good.
	9:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:34 gotta check out the archive
	9:38pm DL in LA: Hi all. Is “moody blues” redundant? Or not, because drugs?
	🥁 9:39pm Alex from Media: Pronunciation check. Wouldnt louse be pronounced as in the singular of Lice? Or is there inside info on pronunciation coming straight from the Louses mouth?
	9:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ DL in LA @9:38 Definitely because drugs.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Me & You Remembering + Windmilling" by "Firehose" i have a few records like that -mostly 90s releases. i think they were of low-quality material and couldn't take being stored in what i know now to be too tightly between other albums.
	9:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @9:39 I'm just reading off the piece of paper the Starlite Lounge intern handed me, man!
	🥁 9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: by the standards of chocolate watchbands and strawberry alarm clocks ...moody blues is pretty coherent
	🥁 9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Strong Feelings" by "Dry Cleaning" this is pretty seductive but has me wondering if it's geared toward everyone's inner sex dungeon slave
	🥁 9:45pm egal: moody blues were a rhythm and blues band until denny Laine left. then they moved in the prog direction.
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: moody means easily swinging from one mood to another; blues means sad, or longing; chocolate watchband means a leather watchband of a rich brown hue; strawberry alarmclock means poseur nonsense!
	9:46pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 I dunno, but I certainly hope we can all agree to let our inner sex dungeon slaves free before this show wraps up at 12.
	9:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 Hahaha!
	🥁 9:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:44 not to good at reading class stratospheres in brit accents....but i'd say that was an upper class accent in which case it speaks dungeon...
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:46 i'll be at work by midnight. is this going to be another one of those embarrassing episodes?
	9:48pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:48 Wait, there's another kind of episode?
	🥁 9:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:46 yes safe word ...mood blues...
	9:49pm Mike Lupica: I am an embarrassing episode 24/7.
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:48 not for me!
	🥁 9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 you're making this up !!..... ; )
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:49 haha!
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:50 well, it's true the latter 2 are interpretations!
	🥁 9:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Machete" by "Live Skull" the dude in gif looks quite funny....wonder what show....
	9:52pm chresti: Machete by Live Skull (Dusted) 🔥🔥🔥
	🥁 9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:51 ah you came clean...you didn't have to
	9:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:52 That's David Mitchell -- he's a scream. Gif is probably from his old show "Mitchell and Webb" which is a scream. He's also great on the British TV show "Would I Lie to You"
	9:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @9:52 YES! That was a big fave years ago, haven't played it in eons. Sounded great to hear again. Also, I think I heard they (somehow) have a new record?
	🥁 9:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:53 i know the name ...did not know what face to attach it to thx
	🥁 9:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "One More Death" by "Goat" budgie vibe...no...?
	🥁 9:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One More Death" by "Goat" Here we go! 🤘🤘🤘
	🥁 9:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:56 i find these psychedelic meltdowns quite affecting
	🥁 9:58pm tom tom the pipers son: simmering now
	🥁 9:58pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:56 Weird thing is they're from Sweden.
	10:00pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Les Crimes" by "Party Dozen" This is fun
	🥁 10:00pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One More Death" by "Goat" Just scanned some vids of GOAT. They've got the mask thing going on like the album cover. Pretty cool looking.
	10:00pm Mike Lupica: Goat is a great example of a band whose popularity I am utterly unable to guesstimate. I've never seen them live, and I imagine that most people would find them very off-putting. But I recently saw a YouTube vid of them playing a festival in Europe in front of like 10,000 people all moshing and chewing drugs and singing along. I know, I know, "Europe", etc. But still...
	🥁 10:00pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Les Crimes" by "Party Dozen" That bass!
	🥁 10:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @9:58 oh...but budgie had to have traveled from wales to sweden...no...?
	10:01pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Aitch @10:00 Aye! The farty synth checkbox of tonight's show is now complete.
	10:01pm Aitch: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:01 Love some farty synth
	🥁 10:02pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:01 My farty synth weekly dose is why I am here!
	🥁 10:02pm Alex from Media: Yes to farty synths!
	🥁 10:03pm Yvang: Let's make a band! A farty synth one.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: hit it with a hammer
	🥁 10:07pm Chop Scott: Well done Mike!
	10:07pm StringOFperils: Now with 10% MORE lick the contact.
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 ILL ADVISED!
	10:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:07 Thank you, I take a lot of pride in my work.
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: i liked that right>left contact thing you just played but it's too short
	🥁 10:12pm Alex from Media: So peanut gallery, what is the best contact cleaning solution? Precious bodily fluids aside.
	10:12pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:12 Chop Scott, I'll let you take this one.
	🥁 10:14pm Chop Scott: Deoxit D5 spray.
	🥁 10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Chop Scott @10:14 Much appreciated, Thanks!
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: hey, Mike! I use paper maps!
	🥁 10:25pm tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry How a Small Group of Indian Movie Stars Burst Out of Miley Cyrus and Gave Showgirl Pathos To Song as Prison Atrocities Come Into the Light on The Under-the-Radar Island That Evokes Bali and Calls to Mind a 1970s Spy Movie
	🥁 10:28pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 Trippy! Missed the showgirl pathos headline.
	🥁 10:29pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:25 By shooting an horror bollywood movie in Syria?
	🥁 10:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:28 that did pertain to miley cyrus
	🥁 10:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:29 I reckon so.
	🥁 10:32pm Yvang: Belated bottle opener alert.
	🥁 10:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @10:29 i was thinking it could be made ken burns (blech) style with still images
	🥁 10:33pm Alex from Media: ↳ Yvang @10:32 Oh, I though I was having waking dreams of beer again.
	10:33pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @10:32 😉
	10:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:33 It's a Guinness night here in the Starlite Lounge.
	🥁 10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: it's a cacio de pepe with a can of tuna thrown in night in queens
	🥁 10:37pm egal: feels like the cafe wha.
	10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:36 That's a perfectly good meal for Sunday night.
	10:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:37 Smells a bit like it up in here, too.
	🥁 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: a "favorite" ny times word of the moment is "fealty" for full licking the boot flava.... seems the word comes op quite a lot
	🥁 10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:38 thanks mike....i'm having it with some "seltzered" down coke which acts nicely with the peppery-ness
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: it's tea time for this tard. so i can stay 1/2 awake for the next 7 hours.
	10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Concrete Jungle" by "Bob Marley & the Wailers" I find I like the Bob Marley & The Wailers songs I haven't heard a million effin' times. This is nice.
	🥁 10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:44 you have an assam or something like...?
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Concrete Jungle" by "Bob Marley & the Wailers" what a great album. and check out Mr.McIntosh, coolest thing on wheels. rest in peace, all 3.
	10:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:46 The simple rule of thumb is to just avoid "Legend", and pretty much everything else is great.
	10:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 Ah, duly noted. Thanks, Mike!
	10:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:47 catch a fire through exodus is the sweet spot, in my opinion.

	10:56pm coelacanth∅: i'm already tardigrade. Thanks Mike! 'night
	🥁 10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: see ya...
	🥁 10:57pm Alex from Media: Work hard, get ahead Coel!
	10:57pm Mike Lupica: Thanks for hangin' out for a bit!
	10:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Stan Clear & The Closing Doors" Farty synths, part two
	🥁 11:00pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Stan Clear & The Closing Doors" Thought I was getting Fred from Jupiter for a couple notes there.
	11:02pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "China My China" by "Stan Clear & The Closing Doors" Wow, loved this Eno cover!
	11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @11:02 mee too.
	11:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @11:02 Taking Tiger Mountain By Farty Synth Stratgies
	11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Lonely Planet Boy" by "The New York Dolls" This song breaks my heart every time I hear it.
	11:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:06 ...and I love it. I bought this LP at the ol' Venus Records on St. Marks when I was 17 or 18. I still remember how happy I was when I found it.
	11:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:06 Can't get over how much of a blueprint for Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arm Around a Memory" it seems to be.
	11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:07 Totally. When I saw the Dolls play down at the South St Seaport in 2005 or whenever, they did both songs as a medley.
	11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 I think I paid $2 for it, too, because at that point nobody cared about vinyl or The Dolls. Woulda been 1992-ish.
	🥁 11:13pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "乘風 Riding on the Wind" by "英水帝江 Ying Shui Di Jiang" I blissed out to this. Good choice.
	11:14pm Numero 6: Okay, disco nap is over!
	11:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm not being irresponsible. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow until just before 3pm.
	11:17pm Charlie: It's only 9:15 where I am, and I have Mondays off!
	11:18pm Charlie: ↳ Song: "Loraine" by "Linton Kwesi Johnson" Mad love for LKJ
	11:18pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Charlie @11:18 Yes! First heard him on college radio in the 80s and was instantly hooked.
	11:19pm GT: Yeah sorry about the drones, I don't live in New Jersey so I thought it would be a good way to pick up the radio signal, but thankfully I found the stream!
	11:20pm Mike Lupica: ↳ GT @11:19 Your secret is safe with us...
	11:22pm GT: Not sure what to do with all these drones now though, they were pretty expensive. maybe I'll try to sell some of my recordings to Iran?
	11:23pm GT: Though they probably have access to the archive so they probably won't be worth much
	11:24pm Numero 6: ↳ Song: "Hermosa Drive" by "Hermanos Gutiérrez" That tumbleweed rolling around is funny looking.
	11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: Well, I am pretty tired and should make my way to bed. Thanks for the fine, fine tunes, Mike. Good night, everybunny.
	🥁 11:30pm Alex from Media: Nite Wendy.
	11:30pm Mike Lupica: See ya, Wendy!
	🥁 11:31pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:29 See you tomorrow Wendy, on the radio!
	11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @11:31 Yay!
	11:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "From Temptation To You" by "Jeffrey Lee Pierce" A record whose album cover looks exactly the way that song sounds.
	🥁 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:34 when will record covers have animated gifs on them
	🥁 11:37pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Club Roma" by "Johnny Coley" I really like this. Dunno Johnny Coley.
	11:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 What sorcery do you speak!? (Actually, that's an amazing idea which will probably only even happen on Spotify.)
	🥁 11:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 when screens are so malleable they can be printed
	🥁 11:38pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 When tattos will start singing.
	11:38pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:37 I didn't either until this record, but it's great. "Transcendental poetry meets Southern Nightmare Jazz on the third album by Alabama-based poet & artist"
	🥁 11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:37 an evolution of the lenticular lens
	🥁 11:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 Niche genre that.
	🥁 11:39pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:38 A blend of Iggy and WS Burroughs in that voice...
	11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:39 All the cool kids are into it.
	🥁 11:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @11:38 if maya angelou were still alive that would be the title of her next book
	11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @11:39 Yes!
	🥁 11:42pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "If I Were a Carpenter" by "Bob Seger" I'm gonna put this in the "Like in spite of myself" column with the Oasis.
	11:44pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:42 Don't fear the old S.G. records, they are incredibly soulful and often rock like the MC5. I just checked the FMU playlist database and see that I first played that song in September of 2005, then again in June of 2006... and then again tonight.
	11:45pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 Wow, spectacular typo there. That should be "Bob Seger", not "S.G." -- wherever that came from.
	11:46pm Numero 6: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 The Rolling Stones kinda did that a long time ago.
	11:47pm Mike Lupica: I maintain that divorced from all of the cultural baggage, "Night Moves" is an incredibly sad and beautiful song. I hope this isn't controversial.
	🥁 11:48pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:47 OK Im there on that. The problem isnt that these old tunes are bad, just that they're overplayed. If you let them lie fallow for a while and come back with a fresh ear you hear it again.
	🥁 11:48pm Yvang: ↳ Numero 6 @11:46 Yes the lenticular prints were the animated gifs of the 1970's!
	🥁 11:49pm Roberto: I sleeped too mutch
	11:51pm StringOFperils: Thanks for playing the records, Mike!
	🥁 11:52pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks mike, have a good one...
	🥁 11:53pm Alex from Media: Thanks Mike, so glad I made it to this last set. Really enjoyed the show.
	🥁 11:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Numero 6 @11:46 a gif would be next level of that
	🥁 11:54pm Chop Scott: Bravo Mike! Thanks as ever...
	🥁 11:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:53 if it becomes possible to print out a screen like a photograph
	🥁 11:55pm Yvang: Thanks Mike for the great spins!
	11:57pm Numero 6: Thanks Mike, BCNU!
	🥁 11:57pm egal: well played.
	11:57pm Charlie: Thanks for the great stuff, Mike!
	🥁 11:58pm Roberto: I did promise I would be late, but this is ridic.
	2:27pm Peteski: Hey Mike, you sound good! what DAY is it? where am I? I can't feel my hands.
	2:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Peteski @2:27 Peteski! Good to know that if I'm still here, YOU'RE STILL HERE. Also, I have no idea what year it is so don't trouble me with your talk of "days".
