	👻 9:25am Handy Haversack: Don came on when I was in the shower -- but I still felt dirty. Morning, JA, J'All.
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: Handrew! Happy Friday!
	👻 9:26am Handy Haversack: And to you, YB! We're actually heading out of town for the weekend in a couple of hours. I guess I should prep for that.
	9:28am Doug in JC: Good morning Handy! Got an idea for the remix contest that is so terrible that it's worth working on
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: Oh man getting out of town sounds great. We're going to maybe take a day-trip over the weekend and go look at the Mississippi River
	9:29am Mike W: love to hear 3am songs at 9:30am with coffee
	9:29am David (in London): Hey Handy. I wondered what tardiness was afoot in the Haversackery.
	👻 9:30am Threemoons: Morning JA, fellow AMers. TGIF! I could barely make it out of bed today. Forewent a shower for more Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume and some fresh clothes. Almost at the finish line for the week...
	👻 9:31am Handy Haversack: Excellent, Doug! David, I figured why take half a day off when you can take a whole day. And stayed up late just to prove the fact!
	👻 9:31am adampsyche: yes!
	👻 9:32am Threemoons: @Handy I envy your bravery. Can't pull that now on this gig alas.
	9:32am Doug in JC: @Handy Where are you guys headed?
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: Mrs Yeti told me: "Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We're told "no" if we get too close to strangers. And we get really excited about car rides."
	👻 9:32am Threemoons: @Handy where are you off to?
	9:32am egould310: Its back! A version!
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: (not original, it's going around)
	9:33am Phillippe Bastille: Damn, my work is seriously getting in the way of my commenting. All good here, David! Hey Handy, YB, threemoons, Krys, ngh!
	👻 9:33am Handy Haversack: Up to Hudson, NY. Friends of ours ditched Brooklyn for such climes. We compared protocols and decided it was safe as anything else to merge bubbles for the weekend. And they need whisky! This is what happens when you move to the sticks. Yo, Phillippe!
	9:35am David (in London): Mrs Yeti spot on there. I'm out for a turn round the park now and to feed the crows. Back soon.
	👻 9:37am Threemoons: @Handy Enjoy! Hit Basillica Hudson if you can...don't know if they are still doing the markets...
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: Basilica Hudson is wondeful. But closed (temporarily)
	👻 9:38am Handy Haversack: Horizons have contracted to such an extent that I'm all like "but if we go out of town and see good friends, we'll lose our parking spot! And it's right in front of the apartment!" I'm a bad dog. Thanks, Threemoons! Haven't been to Hudson since a wedding in ... 2009? I hope they have restocked the bar since then. We drank ... everything.
	👻 9:39am Threemoons: HH--Wow! Enjoy! It's a lovely little town.
	👻 9:40am YETI BOB: @Handy: It's changed a lot. A new luxury hotel. And there's a cool little brewery down by the Basilica
	👻 9:40am YETI BOB: Hudson Brewing Company, check it out - it's open.
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: Nice! I am sure Iain has found it -- he's one of them cultured Scots. Looking forward to it all. An afternoon on the Taconic is always stimulating!
	👻 9:42am YETI BOB: I have family in Hudson, in non-plague times I go there a few times a year. It's fun to go there from Chicago, I can walk from my house to the Amtrak station, then get off in Hudson and walk to my sister's house.
	9:43am Mike W: the Suicide–Culturcide–Bruce triplet is my first-three-Wire-records of the day
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: The 24-Hour Drone was cancelled, then Christmas was cancelled, so I haven't been there in a while.
	9:44am βrian: @Yeti B: That's one for a list of things seemingly most un-American.
	9:44am bore: never heard this version, so excited
	👻 9:44am joe mulligan: liking the stark Bruce
	9:45am zopa: really enjoying the fabio fly ins!
	9:45am egould310: Damn good show so far, JA.
	9:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bruce's version of that was just mesmerizing at the shows. Ah...shows.
	👻 9:45am joe mulligan: hilarious failure to flipper segue
	👻 9:45am Handy Haversack: Fabilipper!
	👻 9:46am karlward: Ready to fetishize some jazz
	9:46am drowsy: Wow, I would not have self-prescribed flipper but it is just what I needed! Thanks.
	9:47am PaulRobeson1920: Wow hahahahahahahahahaha
	9:47am morphe': "REMEMER THAT GUY JOHN SOMEBODY REMEMBER THAT GUY REMEMBER THAT REMEMBER......"
	9:47am Ike: For a sec there I thought we were going to get a type of Language Removal Services (but with full stalling words) of various FMU DJs starting with Fabio, but then it went in a different direction.
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Fucking televangelists. "Put it on a plate dear. It'll taste better"
	9:47am Krys O.: WFMU is Fetish Radio, fer sure.
	👻 9:48am Tank Top: This is so great
	9:48am anders: the disembodied voice of fabio is being sprinkled through proceedings like hot paprika in a winter goulash
	👻 9:49am Tank Top: My Life in the Bush of Trumps
	9:49am Yes: morning yall
	👻 9:49am Handy Haversack: Good to know we have shoulders in the spirit realm, I guess.
	9:49am Planet Tyler: Pretty scary how much these people want to live in 1000 CE
	9:49am PaulRobeson1920: Oh wow
	9:49am steveo: oh good that grinding noise is just the radio
	9:50am Hubig Pie: Well then, this explains everything
	9:50am Blix: Is this an excerpt from Ariel Pink's sit-down with Tucker Carlson?
	👻 9:50am karlward: You tell em Flipper
	9:50am drowsy: @steveo I was thinking that drone noise is like a nice marzipan layer on top of this great JM/AM cake.
	9:51am egould310: I had a dream that I went back to the bar I frequented when I lived in Long Beach, CA. They had added a coffee/espresso bar. It was crowded; but now there were kids and families because they could order non-alcohol drinks. It was nice to see the bartender, but too many weird families/kids. I left.
	9:53am drowsy: whoops, JA. awk. JAAM cake.
	9:53am morphe': Jesus Blood Never Fails Me... Never Fails Me.... Jesus' Blood Never Fails Me ... This one thing I know .... [the original not T. Waits..] Not a request just having echoes ....
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: ("never failed me yet", I believe)
	👻 10:04am Handy Haversack: Everyone packs a marine radio when they go to a river town, right? That's just common sense.
	10:07am steveo: makes sense to me, Handy; anybody else got any of that post-chaos withdrawal syndrome? more coffee
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Are we actually post-chaos yet?
	10:08am Jeroen Kuster: nice broadcast. good show.thank you.greetings from Rotterdam
	10:08am steveo: relatively?
	👻 10:08am YETI BOB: @HH I still don't own one! But I haven't been out on the kayak since Sep. I'll pick one up before next season.
	10:09am Woo: We are not post chaos. It's sitting in the corner waiting for the bell to ring.
	👻 10:11am Handy Haversack: They are fun, YB! If, you know, you're a total dork. Which I am. And I have my suspicions about you! Plus, of course, the whole safety thing.
	10:11am steveo: i'll retract the question, your honor
	10:12am steveo: it's nice up here at 10000 feet at least
	👻 10:13am YETI BOB: @HH: Yes, sort of a dork. Definitely a giant radio nerd. You already convinced me to pick up a marine radio, I just haven't done so yet.
	10:15am βrian: @Handy, it's Friday, but is it too early? 64.media.tumblr.com...
	👻 10:16am karlward: HOUSTON in the house
	10:16am TomDash: what?
	10:19am NikiA: thought that it was water, not clapping
	10:21am Pale Son: Did I hear JA say that Jon Hassell passed away from Covid? Is this true?
	👻 10:25am Handy Haversack: I say let your Sydow flag fly, βrian!
	👻 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, JA and jovial attendants.
	👻 10:33am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:36am Mike W: @Pale Son that news stopped me too JA doesn’t traffic in heavy rumors, as far as i know him
	10:38am abutthegreat: fun track this trees thing
	10:39am Phillippe Bastille: Liking this trees
	10:40am morphe': No mention of John Hassell as such: was hospitalized in uly with a broken leg. No visitors due to Covid - got out?? Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/28/jon-hassell-musics-great-globetrotter-be-more-aware-of-the-rest-of-the-world
	10:41am morphe': Handy - meant to write - have a tkt for Mon18 =>15 Feb ...
	10:41am hoeg: i wish i was a fool for Sandy Dennis again...
	👻 10:42am Handy Haversack: Ah, great, morph. Let's try to get together while you're here! The good news is that winter no longer exists, so hanging out outside isn't too bad.
	10:42am metta_x: Earth recordings just rereleased the Trees discography ..3 records, 2 studio and one live material. check it out!https://earthrecordlabel.com/product/trees-trees/
	10:43am Mike W: well that is what i meant by “heavy” OH NO CELIA TREES TOO R.I.P.
	10:43am steveo: RIP Celia
	10:45am Mike W: “this isn’t good...Stay tuned!” oh gosh
	10:45am TomDash: just a heads up that alternative side is suspended on Monday...
	10:50am John Allen: guys, Hassell is alive and spread it near and far. I must have Harold Budd on my mind
	10:50am steveo: can i get the cash value if i don't have a car?
	10:51am Pale Son: Ah, whew! I wondered if that was who you were thinking of. :D
	👻 10:52am YETI BOB: what's that little sound in here that sounds like a cat meowing?
	10:52am John Allen: cat jazz
	👻 10:55am YETI BOB: sounds like Clay Pigeon's "Mannix" sound drop in there too.
	👻 10:55am karlward: Don’t waste your time with jazz that lacks cats, and harpsichords, and samplers.
	10:56am steveo: :)
	10:57am Stillwell Coney Islander: Good morning! My Jazz T shirt arrived the other day.. It's one of my favorites :-))
	10:59am David (in London): Back in the room. Damn, those crows can sure put away a lot of food. Blast, missed the Flipper. Still, this is nice.
	11:00am steveo: what do you feed them? i can't get the crows to notice me. do you also give them shiny things?
	11:01am UncleMarty: Peace John. Parking gods will have their due. Better than a lot.
	11:02am andy the painter: Music for Moving the Car, vol 5
	11:02am David (in London): steveo - Unsalted nuts of various descriptions, though cashews seem to be their favourites. No, they don't need any further prompting or shiny things. As soon as I enter the park now they hop over to the usual feeding spot.
	11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy JA and JAzz bredren!
	11:04am steveo: thanks. i'm trying to get them into our small urban yard; i've never seen them below the rooftops though
	11:05am tim from champaign (now washington): Hahaha! I forgot about this Poison Idea. How in the world did Jerry A and The Champ sit on the same piano bench?
	11:05am Hubig Pie: Unsalted pistachios and pine nuts are the crack cocaine of the avian world
	11:05am steveo: i love a pian-uh
	11:07am Jeezuseffinchrist: I thought this was the Coil song Red Queen upon first notes, but I like this too. Nonetheless, can we possibly hear Red Queen maybe??? :D
	11:08am Mike W: JOHN ALLEN LAY OFF THE PUFF we knew about Harold and it is sad
	11:12am John Allen: you all don't mind if I free associate all over the show, right?
	👻 11:12am Handy Haversack: I filled our feeders. The sparrows made their feelings about my dilatory nature quite clear.
	11:12am Mike W: you got a recorder with you?
	11:13am βrian: The crows have been hitting our feeder lately. They don't usually bother.
	11:14am mariano: 'Morning, JA, Crew, everyone. David: In my NYC days, I could never fully suppress my Butthead laugh when I'd see the sign in certain delis that read "Some items may have come in contact with nuts."
	11:15am Faye: this is my kind of piano interlude
	11:17am βrian: Was that printed on the tea bags?
	👻 11:18am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	👻 11:20am Handy Haversack: Mariano, how can you get a pizza with nuttin'?!
	11:20am mb: G'mornin DJ JA and listener commenters
	11:21am MuWfInMass: ponderous piano
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @mariano: At my transfer station there's a spot on the side of the lot for dumping (I think) things like leftovers from an asphalt truck. But the sign says "Hot Loads." The 18 yr old in me laughs every time I go to drop off the trash.
	11:25am WinksFMU: It does sound like the frogs, in spring.
	👻 11:26am YETI BOB: I've often driven by (and once stopped at) the "Bong Recreation Area" in Kenosha WI. Apparently the cops wait there for dumb-asses who break the law by smoking forbidden substances, or just stealing the signs. To make it worse the place is named after "Major Dick Bong"
	11:27am Krys O.: Here's my cat, Harvey resting on my Jazz tee. www.instagram.com...
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: Of course, there's always Big Bone Lick in KY, USA.
	11:29am johnc: Handy, was going to mention big bone lick. I live near there. Have probably driven by the signs 100x and still giggle a little.
	11:31am johnc: Does anyone have any good advice on what to feed a wild rabbit? I've got one living in my backyard and he/she is very personable.
	👻 11:31am YETI BOB: +1 on the Loren and Oren
	👻 11:31am YETI BOB: @johnc: I think they like carrots, according to the many documentaries I watched as a child
	11:32am David (in London): Mariano, that's never not funny.
	👻 11:32am YETI BOB: @KrysO: Nice painting!
	11:33am David (in London): Dick Bong is my new stage name.
	11:33am Mike W: @John it’s a treat pouch
	👻 11:33am YETI BOB: @D(iL): "Remember the name of Major Dick Bong, a true American hero" www.sbnation.com...
	11:33am Mike W: bait bag etc
	11:34am Polyus: Trying to concentrate on a mellow JA set in one ear while in the other a coworker tells me all about how I really should invest in Bitcoin.
	👻 11:34am YETI BOB: @johnc: sorry for the non-serious answer, i'm in a goofy mood. but they do like raw vegetables, lettuce is good
	11:34am Strandlund: Beautiful painting Krys!! I love it.
	👻 11:35am YETI BOB: @Polyus: You know when it's a sign to get out of Bitcoin investing? When it's skyrocketing and your co-workers are telling you to invest in it.
	11:35am johnc: @Yeti Bob, ha thanks. I too have watched those documentaries and they appear to tell the truth. The rabbit has been eating those. I will try lettuce. Thanks for the advice.
	11:36am Strandlund: I'm sure you can buy a "Dick Bong"...I'm not in the market though.
	11:36am mariano: Lol, Handy, MooWuf, Woods, YETI! I worked in a building where on one of the floors there was a company called The Joint Distribution Committee. Always dreamed of working there, though I'd certainly have been done for embezzlement within the first week.
	11:37am David (in London): Bloody Hell Yeti Bob, that's absolutely brilliant. I for one am now a serious fan of Major Dick Bong, and am hereby forming the UK branch of his fan club.
	👻 11:37am Handy Haversack: A woman just saw me loading six bottles of wine and one of Lagavullin in the car and said, "Looks like a fun weekend trip!" I didn't mention the eleven other bottles I had already loaded ...
	11:38am Ike: I've been laughing like Butthead at "Major Dick Bong" since 11:26. Thanks @Yeti Bob.
	11:38am Krys O.: I had a cat that liked to eat lettuce. Here is a list of foods for rabbits: www.saveafluff.co.uk...
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: "Carrots should be limited due to high sugar content" - is that why Bugs was so manic?
	11:40am Polyus: I have crossed the Bong Bridge several times when visiting the Duluth area.
	11:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have a rabbit who used to like to shew on the corners of my LP covers. Naughty little guy.
	11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): I had a dog who loved carrots.
	👻 11:41am YETI BOB: By the way, over the last couple of years we've been seeing a LOT more rabbits in Chicago.
	11:41am johnc: Thank you Krys O!
	11:41am David (in London): I want to contrive a reason to fly into Bong Airport. Hey Tim.
	11:41am chresti: Morning JA in the almost noon time!
	11:41am steveo: 64.media.tumblr.com...
	11:41am Krys O.: I used to think that I saw rabbits near the office here, but it turns out they were hares.
	11:42am mariano: Polyus: It's sadder than that. Bugs, like many entertainers of his generation, had a really bad amphetamine habit. He was in rehab with Johnny Cash and Judy Garland.
	11:43am Krys O.: Hare vs. Rabbit: www.diffen.com...
	👻 11:43am YETI BOB: @steveo: We used to have a bong we christened "Elka". After "El Kabong". Ahh, memories. Thanks for posting that. @Krys: Not sure I could tell a rabbit from a hare
	👻 11:44am YETI BOB: @Krys: Our messages crossed on the wire. Where do 'bunnies' fit in the scheme of things?
	👻 11:45am YETI BOB: Ok, a bunny is a rabbit, obviously. I think that's what we have here.
	👻 11:46am YETI BOB: Is it just a Chicago thing or are you East Coasters seeing more urban lagomorphs? (covering my bases)
	👻 11:46am YETI BOB: (or wherever you live, New Orleans and Houston are in the house, I know)
	11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey David!
	11:47am mariano: YETI BOB: I don't know about lagomorphs, but when I lived in Brooklyn I saw far more raccoonomorphs than I'd have expected.
	11:47am David (in London): I'd like to just take this opportunity to remind everyone of the perilous consequences of out of control lagomorph expansion: www.youtube.com...
	11:48am Ike: It's not a perfect book, but there are lots of funny bits in "The Constant Rabbit" by Jasper Fforde addressing things like what happens if rabbits buy a house in your neighborhood and bring their goddamn carrot addictions, compulsive burrowing, and shoplifting of lettuce with them, driving down your property values.
	11:48am steveo: have seen a raccoon walking along the top of the chain link fence in brooklyn
	11:48am steveo: no bunnies though
	👻 11:50am YETI BOB: I think it's the rising temps. Way more rats than there used to be, too. But the bunnies are cuter.
	👻 11:51am Handy Haversack: Rabbit populations go in cycles, swelling until disease (myxomatosis, often) takes them out. So maybe that's what you have locally, YB? Rabbits in NYC ... I have only ever seen a couple in Prospect Park. It's too tough around here for 'em. Raccoons, possum, cats fill the urban furry niches.
	11:51am steveo: is this an all-raccoon band, JA?
	11:52am mariano: I love those old trailers, David. I'll take that style of announcer voice over today's "In a world..." voice any day.
	👻 11:53am Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ 𝓳 𝓪 𝔃 𝔃 ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	11:53am David (in London): Here it's not rabbits, it's ring-necked parakeets. From a small local population in the SW of the city, they've exploded out all over in the past few years. Mariano, I love them too. "It was a time of great..."
	👻 11:53am Handy Haversack: Rats are rate in Greenpoint, at least around here. I was here ten years before the cat neuter-and-release programs decreased the cat population enough that I actually saw a rat. We still have tons of cats around.
	👻 11:53am YETI BOB: @Handy - Interesting - I think you're right about the cycles, it seems to be peaking. And have a great trip this weekend!
	11:54am steveo: i think the rats are mostly just good at hiding, Handy
	11:55am mariano: Rats are so rate...;) (Sorry Handy, been passive-aggressively saving that up ever since the recent gauntlet/gantlet debacle. Fix your wagon but good...)
	11:56am steveo: when people notice them is after they get flushed out by construction
	👻 11:56am Handy Haversack: Rats are *rare^^ Thanks, YB! Booze is all loaded in the car. Just waiting for Kate to finish teaching. They better be, steveo. Some of these feral cats look like they could take down a goat. I say we release hundreds of goats in the neighborhood and see what happens.
	11:56am David (in London): "Rabbits they say, are very scarce these days, My diagnosis? Myxomatosis." Old poem by Spike Milligan. (Who you guys may or may not know).
	👻 11:56am Handy Haversack: Mariano, I don't rare that at all!
	👻 11:56am YETI BOB: Ah, here's an article from the Chicago Reader. And it mentions Night of the Lepus, before saying "Chicago rabbits may not be quite as big, but their numbers have risen dramatically since the 1990s, when Mayor Daley's various greening projects began to invite more woodland creatures into an urban environment. Drawn by the elevated heat level of the city, rabbits began spreading from parks into grassy areas like expressway ramps, and even made their way into the Loop."
	👻 11:57am Handy Haversack: Thanks, JA! Another stellar Friday morning with you! Be well, J'All!
	11:57am Krys O.: I'm aware of Spike Milligan and have a couple of his books, David. I'm a HUGE Goon Show fan. Thanks, JA & everyone!
	11:57am steveo: matthew gee A+, thanks for a wonderful show JA
	👻 11:58am YETI BOB: thanks and peace y'all, great hanging out and digging the tunes and chatting
	11:58am zopa: Well done, JA.
	11:58am David (in London): Wow, 5pm already. Thanks for a great set JA. Happy trails Handy. See you groovers anon. (Krys, that makes me very happy. He is the well-spring of all English comedy).
	👻 11:58am Handy Haversack: Explains all the dryads, too, YB.
	11:59am mariano: Thank you JA, Crew, and Spike Milligan!
	11:59am NikiA: this show was the shit. thank you DJ
	11:59am Mike W: @YETI BOB oh i remember Night of the Lepus. A guy cowering in a barn is rescued by another guy who comforts him by saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay — the rabbit is gone now...”
	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, for the JAzz JAms today, JA.
	12:00pm Krys O.: @David: I had a dream a day or so before Spike died that I saw a headline: Last Goon Standing.
	12:00pm Mike W: heavy rumor rotation
	12:00pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks JA!
	👻 12:00pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ꒱
	12:01pm johnc: Thanks JA
	12:03pm Krys O.: TCM showed Night of the Lepus a couple of months ago. It was hilarious! Hadn't seen it since childhood.
	12:48pm Avrilinmay: "hope your dreams come true folks" just ♡

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from January 15, 2021

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:28am Doug in JC: Good morning Handy! Got an idea for the remix contest that is so terrible that it's worth working on
	👻 9:28am YETI BOB: Oh man getting out of town sounds great. We're going to maybe take a day-trip over the weekend and go look at the Mississippi River
	9:29am Mike W: love to hear 3am songs at 9:30am with coffee
	9:29am David (in London): Hey Handy. I wondered what tardiness was afoot in the Haversackery.
	👻 9:30am Threemoons: Morning JA, fellow AMers. TGIF! I could barely make it out of bed today. Forewent a shower for more Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab perfume and some fresh clothes. Almost at the finish line for the week...
	👻 9:31am Handy Haversack: Excellent, Doug! David, I figured why take half a day off when you can take a whole day. And stayed up late just to prove the fact!
	👻 9:31am adampsyche: yes!
	👻 9:32am Threemoons: @Handy I envy your bravery. Can't pull that now on this gig alas.
	9:32am Doug in JC: @Handy Where are you guys headed?
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: Mrs Yeti told me: "Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We're told "no" if we get too close to strangers. And we get really excited about car rides."
	👻 9:32am Threemoons: @Handy where are you off to?
	9:32am egould310: Its back! A version!
	👻 9:32am YETI BOB: (not original, it's going around)
	9:33am Phillippe Bastille: Damn, my work is seriously getting in the way of my commenting. All good here, David! Hey Handy, YB, threemoons, Krys, ngh!
	👻 9:33am Handy Haversack: Up to Hudson, NY. Friends of ours ditched Brooklyn for such climes. We compared protocols and decided it was safe as anything else to merge bubbles for the weekend. And they need whisky! This is what happens when you move to the sticks. Yo, Phillippe!
	9:35am David (in London): Mrs Yeti spot on there. I'm out for a turn round the park now and to feed the crows. Back soon.
	👻 9:37am Threemoons: @Handy Enjoy! Hit Basillica Hudson if you can...don't know if they are still doing the markets...
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: Basilica Hudson is wondeful. But closed (temporarily)
	👻 9:38am Handy Haversack: Horizons have contracted to such an extent that I'm all like "but if we go out of town and see good friends, we'll lose our parking spot! And it's right in front of the apartment!" I'm a bad dog. Thanks, Threemoons! Haven't been to Hudson since a wedding in ... 2009? I hope they have restocked the bar since then. We drank ... everything.
	👻 9:39am Threemoons: HH--Wow! Enjoy! It's a lovely little town.
	👻 9:40am YETI BOB: @Handy: It's changed a lot. A new luxury hotel. And there's a cool little brewery down by the Basilica
	👻 9:40am YETI BOB: Hudson Brewing Company, check it out - it's open.
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: Nice! I am sure Iain has found it -- he's one of them cultured Scots. Looking forward to it all. An afternoon on the Taconic is always stimulating!
	👻 9:42am YETI BOB: I have family in Hudson, in non-plague times I go there a few times a year. It's fun to go there from Chicago, I can walk from my house to the Amtrak station, then get off in Hudson and walk to my sister's house.
	9:43am Mike W: the Suicide–Culturcide–Bruce triplet is my first-three-Wire-records of the day
	👻 9:43am YETI BOB: The 24-Hour Drone was cancelled, then Christmas was cancelled, so I haven't been there in a while.
	9:44am βrian: @Yeti B: That's one for a list of things seemingly most un-American.
	9:44am bore: never heard this version, so excited
	👻 9:44am joe mulligan: liking the stark Bruce
	9:45am zopa: really enjoying the fabio fly ins!
	9:45am egould310: Damn good show so far, JA.
	9:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bruce's version of that was just mesmerizing at the shows. Ah...shows.
	👻 9:45am joe mulligan: hilarious failure to flipper segue
	👻 9:45am Handy Haversack: Fabilipper!
	👻 9:46am karlward: Ready to fetishize some jazz
	9:46am drowsy: Wow, I would not have self-prescribed flipper but it is just what I needed! Thanks.
	9:47am PaulRobeson1920: Wow hahahahahahahahahaha
	9:47am morphe': "REMEMER THAT GUY JOHN SOMEBODY REMEMBER THAT GUY REMEMBER THAT REMEMBER......"
	9:47am Ike: For a sec there I thought we were going to get a type of Language Removal Services (but with full stalling words) of various FMU DJs starting with Fabio, but then it went in a different direction.
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Fucking televangelists. "Put it on a plate dear. It'll taste better"
	9:47am Krys O.: WFMU is Fetish Radio, fer sure.
	👻 9:48am Tank Top: This is so great
	9:48am anders: the disembodied voice of fabio is being sprinkled through proceedings like hot paprika in a winter goulash
	👻 9:49am Tank Top: My Life in the Bush of Trumps
	9:49am Yes: morning yall
	👻 9:49am Handy Haversack: Good to know we have shoulders in the spirit realm, I guess.
	9:49am Planet Tyler: Pretty scary how much these people want to live in 1000 CE
	9:49am PaulRobeson1920: Oh wow
	9:49am steveo: oh good that grinding noise is just the radio
	9:50am Hubig Pie: Well then, this explains everything
	9:50am Blix: Is this an excerpt from Ariel Pink's sit-down with Tucker Carlson?
	👻 9:50am karlward: You tell em Flipper
	9:50am drowsy: @steveo I was thinking that drone noise is like a nice marzipan layer on top of this great JM/AM cake.
	9:51am egould310: I had a dream that I went back to the bar I frequented when I lived in Long Beach, CA. They had added a coffee/espresso bar. It was crowded; but now there were kids and families because they could order non-alcohol drinks. It was nice to see the bartender, but too many weird families/kids. I left.
	9:53am drowsy: whoops, JA. awk. JAAM cake.
	9:53am morphe': Jesus Blood Never Fails Me... Never Fails Me.... Jesus' Blood Never Fails Me ... This one thing I know .... [the original not T. Waits..] Not a request just having echoes ....
	👻 9:55am YETI BOB: ("never failed me yet", I believe)
	👻 10:04am Handy Haversack: Everyone packs a marine radio when they go to a river town, right? That's just common sense.
	10:07am steveo: makes sense to me, Handy; anybody else got any of that post-chaos withdrawal syndrome? more coffee
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Are we actually post-chaos yet?
	10:08am Jeroen Kuster: nice broadcast. good show.thank you.greetings from Rotterdam
	10:08am steveo: relatively?
	👻 10:08am YETI BOB: @HH I still don't own one! But I haven't been out on the kayak since Sep. I'll pick one up before next season.
	10:09am Woo: We are not post chaos. It's sitting in the corner waiting for the bell to ring.
	👻 10:11am Handy Haversack: They are fun, YB! If, you know, you're a total dork. Which I am. And I have my suspicions about you! Plus, of course, the whole safety thing.
	10:11am steveo: i'll retract the question, your honor
	10:12am steveo: it's nice up here at 10000 feet at least
	👻 10:13am YETI BOB: @HH: Yes, sort of a dork. Definitely a giant radio nerd. You already convinced me to pick up a marine radio, I just haven't done so yet.
	10:15am βrian: @Handy, it's Friday, but is it too early? 64.media.tumblr.com...
	👻 10:16am karlward: HOUSTON in the house
	10:16am TomDash: what?
	10:19am NikiA: thought that it was water, not clapping
	10:21am Pale Son: Did I hear JA say that Jon Hassell passed away from Covid? Is this true?
	👻 10:25am Handy Haversack: I say let your Sydow flag fly, βrian!
	👻 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, JA and jovial attendants.
	👻 10:33am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:36am Mike W: @Pale Son that news stopped me too JA doesn’t traffic in heavy rumors, as far as i know him
	10:38am abutthegreat: fun track this trees thing
	10:39am Phillippe Bastille: Liking this trees
	10:40am morphe': No mention of John Hassell as such: was hospitalized in uly with a broken leg. No visitors due to Covid - got out?? Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/28/jon-hassell-musics-great-globetrotter-be-more-aware-of-the-rest-of-the-world
	10:41am morphe': Handy - meant to write - have a tkt for Mon18 =>15 Feb ...
	10:41am hoeg: i wish i was a fool for Sandy Dennis again...
	👻 10:42am Handy Haversack: Ah, great, morph. Let's try to get together while you're here! The good news is that winter no longer exists, so hanging out outside isn't too bad.
	10:42am metta_x: Earth recordings just rereleased the Trees discography ..3 records, 2 studio and one live material. check it out!https://earthrecordlabel.com/product/trees-trees/
	10:43am Mike W: well that is what i meant by “heavy” OH NO CELIA TREES TOO R.I.P.
	10:43am steveo: RIP Celia
	10:45am Mike W: “this isn’t good...Stay tuned!” oh gosh
	10:45am TomDash: just a heads up that alternative side is suspended on Monday...
	10:50am John Allen: guys, Hassell is alive and spread it near and far. I must have Harold Budd on my mind
	10:50am steveo: can i get the cash value if i don't have a car?
	10:51am Pale Son: Ah, whew! I wondered if that was who you were thinking of. :D
	👻 10:52am YETI BOB: what's that little sound in here that sounds like a cat meowing?
	10:52am John Allen: cat jazz
	👻 10:55am YETI BOB: sounds like Clay Pigeon's "Mannix" sound drop in there too.
	👻 10:55am karlward: Don’t waste your time with jazz that lacks cats, and harpsichords, and samplers.
	10:56am steveo: :)
	10:57am Stillwell Coney Islander: Good morning! My Jazz T shirt arrived the other day.. It's one of my favorites :-))
	10:59am David (in London): Back in the room. Damn, those crows can sure put away a lot of food. Blast, missed the Flipper. Still, this is nice.
	11:00am steveo: what do you feed them? i can't get the crows to notice me. do you also give them shiny things?
	11:01am UncleMarty: Peace John. Parking gods will have their due. Better than a lot.
	11:02am andy the painter: Music for Moving the Car, vol 5
	11:02am David (in London): steveo - Unsalted nuts of various descriptions, though cashews seem to be their favourites. No, they don't need any further prompting or shiny things. As soon as I enter the park now they hop over to the usual feeding spot.
	11:03am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy JA and JAzz bredren!
	11:04am steveo: thanks. i'm trying to get them into our small urban yard; i've never seen them below the rooftops though
	11:05am tim from champaign (now washington): Hahaha! I forgot about this Poison Idea. How in the world did Jerry A and The Champ sit on the same piano bench?
	11:05am Hubig Pie: Unsalted pistachios and pine nuts are the crack cocaine of the avian world
	11:05am steveo: i love a pian-uh
	11:07am Jeezuseffinchrist: I thought this was the Coil song Red Queen upon first notes, but I like this too. Nonetheless, can we possibly hear Red Queen maybe??? :D
	11:08am Mike W: JOHN ALLEN LAY OFF THE PUFF we knew about Harold and it is sad
	11:12am John Allen: you all don't mind if I free associate all over the show, right?
	👻 11:12am Handy Haversack: I filled our feeders. The sparrows made their feelings about my dilatory nature quite clear.
	11:12am Mike W: you got a recorder with you?
	11:13am βrian: The crows have been hitting our feeder lately. They don't usually bother.
	11:14am mariano: 'Morning, JA, Crew, everyone. David: In my NYC days, I could never fully suppress my Butthead laugh when I'd see the sign in certain delis that read "Some items may have come in contact with nuts."
	11:15am Faye: this is my kind of piano interlude
	11:17am βrian: Was that printed on the tea bags?
	👻 11:18am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	👻 11:20am Handy Haversack: Mariano, how can you get a pizza with nuttin'?!
	11:20am mb: G'mornin DJ JA and listener commenters
	11:21am MuWfInMass: ponderous piano
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @mariano: At my transfer station there's a spot on the side of the lot for dumping (I think) things like leftovers from an asphalt truck. But the sign says "Hot Loads." The 18 yr old in me laughs every time I go to drop off the trash.
	11:25am WinksFMU: It does sound like the frogs, in spring.
	👻 11:26am YETI BOB: I've often driven by (and once stopped at) the "Bong Recreation Area" in Kenosha WI. Apparently the cops wait there for dumb-asses who break the law by smoking forbidden substances, or just stealing the signs. To make it worse the place is named after "Major Dick Bong"
	11:27am Krys O.: Here's my cat, Harvey resting on my Jazz tee. www.instagram.com...
	👻 11:28am Handy Haversack: Of course, there's always Big Bone Lick in KY, USA.
	11:29am johnc: Handy, was going to mention big bone lick. I live near there. Have probably driven by the signs 100x and still giggle a little.
	11:31am johnc: Does anyone have any good advice on what to feed a wild rabbit? I've got one living in my backyard and he/she is very personable.
	👻 11:31am YETI BOB: +1 on the Loren and Oren
	👻 11:31am YETI BOB: @johnc: I think they like carrots, according to the many documentaries I watched as a child
	11:32am David (in London): Mariano, that's never not funny.
	👻 11:32am YETI BOB: @KrysO: Nice painting!
	11:33am David (in London): Dick Bong is my new stage name.
	11:33am Mike W: @John it’s a treat pouch
	👻 11:33am YETI BOB: @D(iL): "Remember the name of Major Dick Bong, a true American hero" www.sbnation.com...
	11:33am Mike W: bait bag etc
	11:34am Polyus: Trying to concentrate on a mellow JA set in one ear while in the other a coworker tells me all about how I really should invest in Bitcoin.
	👻 11:34am YETI BOB: @johnc: sorry for the non-serious answer, i'm in a goofy mood. but they do like raw vegetables, lettuce is good
	11:34am Strandlund: Beautiful painting Krys!! I love it.
	👻 11:35am YETI BOB: @Polyus: You know when it's a sign to get out of Bitcoin investing? When it's skyrocketing and your co-workers are telling you to invest in it.
	11:35am johnc: @Yeti Bob, ha thanks. I too have watched those documentaries and they appear to tell the truth. The rabbit has been eating those. I will try lettuce. Thanks for the advice.
	11:36am Strandlund: I'm sure you can buy a "Dick Bong"...I'm not in the market though.
	11:36am mariano: Lol, Handy, MooWuf, Woods, YETI! I worked in a building where on one of the floors there was a company called The Joint Distribution Committee. Always dreamed of working there, though I'd certainly have been done for embezzlement within the first week.
	11:37am David (in London): Bloody Hell Yeti Bob, that's absolutely brilliant. I for one am now a serious fan of Major Dick Bong, and am hereby forming the UK branch of his fan club.
	👻 11:37am Handy Haversack: A woman just saw me loading six bottles of wine and one of Lagavullin in the car and said, "Looks like a fun weekend trip!" I didn't mention the eleven other bottles I had already loaded ...
	11:38am Ike: I've been laughing like Butthead at "Major Dick Bong" since 11:26. Thanks @Yeti Bob.
	11:38am Krys O.: I had a cat that liked to eat lettuce. Here is a list of foods for rabbits: www.saveafluff.co.uk...
	👻 11:39am YETI BOB: "Carrots should be limited due to high sugar content" - is that why Bugs was so manic?
	11:40am Polyus: I have crossed the Bong Bridge several times when visiting the Duluth area.
	11:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have a rabbit who used to like to shew on the corners of my LP covers. Naughty little guy.
	11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): I had a dog who loved carrots.
	👻 11:41am YETI BOB: By the way, over the last couple of years we've been seeing a LOT more rabbits in Chicago.
	11:41am johnc: Thank you Krys O!
	11:41am David (in London): I want to contrive a reason to fly into Bong Airport. Hey Tim.
	11:41am chresti: Morning JA in the almost noon time!
	11:41am steveo: 64.media.tumblr.com...
	11:41am Krys O.: I used to think that I saw rabbits near the office here, but it turns out they were hares.
	11:42am mariano: Polyus: It's sadder than that. Bugs, like many entertainers of his generation, had a really bad amphetamine habit. He was in rehab with Johnny Cash and Judy Garland.
	11:43am Krys O.: Hare vs. Rabbit: www.diffen.com...
	👻 11:43am YETI BOB: @steveo: We used to have a bong we christened "Elka". After "El Kabong". Ahh, memories. Thanks for posting that. @Krys: Not sure I could tell a rabbit from a hare
	👻 11:44am YETI BOB: @Krys: Our messages crossed on the wire. Where do 'bunnies' fit in the scheme of things?
	👻 11:45am YETI BOB: Ok, a bunny is a rabbit, obviously. I think that's what we have here.
	👻 11:46am YETI BOB: Is it just a Chicago thing or are you East Coasters seeing more urban lagomorphs? (covering my bases)
	👻 11:46am YETI BOB: (or wherever you live, New Orleans and Houston are in the house, I know)
	11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey David!
	11:47am mariano: YETI BOB: I don't know about lagomorphs, but when I lived in Brooklyn I saw far more raccoonomorphs than I'd have expected.
	11:47am David (in London): I'd like to just take this opportunity to remind everyone of the perilous consequences of out of control lagomorph expansion: www.youtube.com...
	11:48am Ike: It's not a perfect book, but there are lots of funny bits in "The Constant Rabbit" by Jasper Fforde addressing things like what happens if rabbits buy a house in your neighborhood and bring their goddamn carrot addictions, compulsive burrowing, and shoplifting of lettuce with them, driving down your property values.
	11:48am steveo: have seen a raccoon walking along the top of the chain link fence in brooklyn
	11:48am steveo: no bunnies though
	👻 11:50am YETI BOB: I think it's the rising temps. Way more rats than there used to be, too. But the bunnies are cuter.
	👻 11:51am Handy Haversack: Rabbit populations go in cycles, swelling until disease (myxomatosis, often) takes them out. So maybe that's what you have locally, YB? Rabbits in NYC ... I have only ever seen a couple in Prospect Park. It's too tough around here for 'em. Raccoons, possum, cats fill the urban furry niches.
	11:51am steveo: is this an all-raccoon band, JA?
	11:52am mariano: I love those old trailers, David. I'll take that style of announcer voice over today's "In a world..." voice any day.
	👻 11:53am Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ 𝓳 𝓪 𝔃 𝔃 ♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	11:53am David (in London): Here it's not rabbits, it's ring-necked parakeets. From a small local population in the SW of the city, they've exploded out all over in the past few years. Mariano, I love them too. "It was a time of great..."
	👻 11:53am Handy Haversack: Rats are rate in Greenpoint, at least around here. I was here ten years before the cat neuter-and-release programs decreased the cat population enough that I actually saw a rat. We still have tons of cats around.
	👻 11:53am YETI BOB: @Handy - Interesting - I think you're right about the cycles, it seems to be peaking. And have a great trip this weekend!
	11:54am steveo: i think the rats are mostly just good at hiding, Handy
	11:55am mariano: Rats are so rate...;) (Sorry Handy, been passive-aggressively saving that up ever since the recent gauntlet/gantlet debacle. Fix your wagon but good...)
	11:56am steveo: when people notice them is after they get flushed out by construction
	👻 11:56am Handy Haversack: Rats are *rare^^ Thanks, YB! Booze is all loaded in the car. Just waiting for Kate to finish teaching. They better be, steveo. Some of these feral cats look like they could take down a goat. I say we release hundreds of goats in the neighborhood and see what happens.
	11:56am David (in London): "Rabbits they say, are very scarce these days, My diagnosis? Myxomatosis." Old poem by Spike Milligan. (Who you guys may or may not know).
	👻 11:56am Handy Haversack: Mariano, I don't rare that at all!
	👻 11:56am YETI BOB: Ah, here's an article from the Chicago Reader. And it mentions Night of the Lepus, before saying "Chicago rabbits may not be quite as big, but their numbers have risen dramatically since the 1990s, when Mayor Daley's various greening projects began to invite more woodland creatures into an urban environment. Drawn by the elevated heat level of the city, rabbits began spreading from parks into grassy areas like expressway ramps, and even made their way into the Loop."
	👻 11:57am Handy Haversack: Thanks, JA! Another stellar Friday morning with you! Be well, J'All!
	11:57am Krys O.: I'm aware of Spike Milligan and have a couple of his books, David. I'm a HUGE Goon Show fan. Thanks, JA & everyone!
	11:57am steveo: matthew gee A+, thanks for a wonderful show JA
	👻 11:58am YETI BOB: thanks and peace y'all, great hanging out and digging the tunes and chatting
	11:58am zopa: Well done, JA.
	11:58am David (in London): Wow, 5pm already. Thanks for a great set JA. Happy trails Handy. See you groovers anon. (Krys, that makes me very happy. He is the well-spring of all English comedy).
	👻 11:58am Handy Haversack: Explains all the dryads, too, YB.
	11:59am mariano: Thank you JA, Crew, and Spike Milligan!
	11:59am NikiA: this show was the shit. thank you DJ
	11:59am Mike W: @YETI BOB oh i remember Night of the Lepus. A guy cowering in a barn is rescued by another guy who comforts him by saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay — the rabbit is gone now...”
	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, for the JAzz JAms today, JA.
	12:00pm Krys O.: @David: I had a dream a day or so before Spike died that I saw a headline: Last Goon Standing.
	12:00pm Mike W: heavy rumor rotation
	12:00pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks JA!
	👻 12:00pm Jason from Houston: ꒰ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ꒱
	12:01pm johnc: Thanks JA
	12:03pm Krys O.: TCM showed Night of the Lepus a couple of months ago. It was hilarious! Hadn't seen it since childhood.
	12:48pm Avrilinmay: "hope your dreams come true folks" just ♡
