	5:37pm Webhamster Henry: Young People Of Today have no idea what pre-internet obscurity networking was like!

	5:43pm Webhamster Henry: Zoom Karaoke time for Blind Man's Penis!

	5:59pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): WHHenry! Do tell!!!! Hi,KS, hi folx!
	6:00pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Bless you and hello to Phil. I am passionate about song poems. Are there any more contemporary comps of song poems aside from the MSR, Phils’s comp?
	6:00pm VincentNifigance: Hi @Mx. Baba Bee (e/they)!
	6:01pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): VincentNifigance: hey there! great to see you!
	6:01pm Mr Fab: Do you have the christmas one, Oleh?
	6:02pm VincentNifigance: @Oleh From Pittsburgh: plenty of goodness on the old blog if you don’t already have them: blog.wfmu.org...
	6:03pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Thanks!
	6:04pm Carmichael: If you can find the doc called Off The Charts about Rodd Keith and the others who made this stuff.
	6:05pm Cheree July: Makes sense. Just sing-speak it like Rex Harrison from My Fair Lady.😂
	6:07pm Carmichael: Towshend used the Chamberlain for the intro to Baba O'Riley.
	6:08pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: get technical! nerds rule!
	6:10pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Are there any PhD dissertations on song-poems?
	6:10pm chresti: Hi Kats and Kittens!
	6:10pm VincentNifigance: Bonnie Graham ‘Somebody Else’, please.
	6:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: CHRESTIKINS!
	6:11pm chresti: MX BABA BEEKINS!
	6:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Just gotta mention that I am listening through my Singsation Star Burst All-In-One Bluetooth Karaoke Machine!
	6:12pm VincentNifigance: @Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) @Cheree July did a college project about them!
	6:13pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: wow!
	6:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Oleh, if you’re still here!
	6:13pm Carmichael: vimeo.com...
	6:16pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Around the time of Off The Charts, I was in touch with Randy? Fox who was featured in the film. He sent me a a couple cds of various song poems he had a hand in scoring. Great stuff, included additional stuff by Calgar if I remember correctly. Does anyone know what happened to Calgar?
	6:16pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: that "telegraph" background vocal with the flute was a sweet touch
	6:16pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah! Bottom-of-the-barrel Song Poem outfit Royal Master!
	6:17pm VincentNifigance: Caglar is on Bandcamp. NSFW
	6:18pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @Mr Fab. Yes! The Christmas song collection is great!
	6:19pm esme chicago: We got here too late~! Love this. Is there a way to hear the beginning of the show?
	6:19pm ultradamno: Signed photo of george LIBERACE with his violin www.historyforsale.com...
	6:19pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @VincentNIfigance Thank you!
	6:20pm Webhamster Henry: Does Amanda know about these Animal songs?
	6:20pm VincentNifigance: @Oleh a lot of it is just ambient noise from his apartment with images of women devouring images of small men, be forewarned!
	6:21pm Carmichael: That song about Kung Fu Bicycles and Priscilla Presley was outstanding.
	6:21pm Rich in Washington: This is remarkably awful, even by Song Poem standards.
	6:22pm VincentNifigance: @Rich in Washington: you killed me! I think it’s a keeper.
	6:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I'm so sad Darryl couldn't listen live. He's been carrying the song-poem torch so faithfully!
	6:24pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @VincentNIfigance Oh man, gotta hear it. I trawled his name some years ago and came across some strange wrestling interests of his. I used to work with a psychiatrist who was the spitting image of Calgar. It was difficult to not see him doing Tae Quondo
	6:24pm Carmichael: Gene's claim to fame was as a background singer for Anita Kerr, which he repeated endlessly.
	6:24pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: there's a special glimpse into the human mind only song-poems can reveal
	6:24pm Mr Fab: esme chicago: all WFMU shows are archived a few hours after airing.
	6:26pm VincentNifigance: @Oleh I think I saw that! I’m sure there were even some videos of him being gleefully harrangued by Amazonian women on Godzilla-set landscapes.
	6:26pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @Becky Ebenkamp Hi Becky, I am in song poem heaven right now. I’ve loved this genre for a long time.
	6:27pm VincentNifigance: @Mx. baba Bee (e/they) So many ‘Persons Of Interest’!
	6:29pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: My biggest regret in life was not following through on my song-poem masterpiece—sending the same poem to as many companies as possible and putting out an album of the results.
	6:29pm esme chicago: Thanks @Mr Fab! We wanna hear all of this show!
	6:30pm VincentNifigance: @Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) I sent David Fox an email inquiring about 10 years ago. Not affordable.
	6:31pm Carmichael: Is that Del Casher on guitar?
	6:31pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: VincentNifigance: did you ever do one?!?!
	6:31pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: That was his name, David Fox. Is he still in the biz
	6:31pm Mr Fab: wow, Baba Bee, that's a brilliant idea!
	6:33pm VincentNifigance: @Mx, Baba Bee (e/they) it was about $400, I couldn’t do it. He did send some follow ups reducing the price a few times after my silence I think, but still too steep for me.
	6:34pm VincentNifigance: This Is amazing
	6:34pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Mr Fab: thanks! I was mentored by Phil X himself. :-)
	6:34pm Webhamster Henry: I am going to Mt. Kisco.
	6:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: $400 for one song?
	6:35pm Mr Fab: Attention song-poem fans! Darryl plays his "Song-Poem of the Week" on every episode of The World's Worst Records. He even did an all dead-Elvis song-poem special: wfmu.org...
	6:35pm VincentNifigance: I…appreciate your concern…
	6:35pm ultradamno: Hey sexy, what's your zodiac, I'm so concerned This defines mixed messages
	6:35pm Kitten Sparkles: Hi gang! Imtrying to get Phil on the chatroom thing.
	6:35pm VincentNifigance: @Mx, Baba Bee (e/they) Oh, yes….
	6:36pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: VincentNifigance: ok, yeah, that's a bit steep
	6:36pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Get that Milstein on the chat, already! I gotta heckle him!
	6:38pm Carmichael: My God this awful ...
	6:39pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: The song-poem salute!
	👻 6:40pm Aitch: Quite extraordinary
	👻 6:43pm WR: Hello Mx. Baba Bee, and the many attracted to the light bulb of the song poem. Just finished reading the recent Ugly Things article by Phil linked above on his site. Very informative and interesting.
	6:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: WR: howdy! could not resist!!!
	6:44pm Mr Fab: after downloading this track "Gyrate For Physicet Beam Dreams, Kay" way back, I remember looking up the word "Physicet." It apparently does not exist.
	6:45pm ultradamno: Well, OK. They were lawyers, but they had ears, right?
	6:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Never let it be said Milstein doesn't put his heart into it.
	6:51pm Webhamster Henry: Phil X. is the Phil Schaap of Song Poems.
	6:53pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: RIP Phil Schaap
	6:55pm ultradamno: This wasn't a K release in the 80s?
	6:56pm Webhamster Henry: Let's lick this crisis American Style!
	👻 6:58pm Aitch: Torn between Rave-Ons being genius or the worst thing ever heard
	6:58pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: WHHenry: will you please make karaoke tracks for these?!?!?
	7:00pm Nimereht: Oh hi, I finally got on this danged chatroom. Replying to a Q way up there near the start, a lady at Brown U. wrote a thesis a few years back on song-poem music. It was for a class rather than a PhD or master's, but it was involved and interesting and accomplished. Somehow she managed to spin it into a feminist theme. --Phil
	7:00pm Mr Fab: Aitch, again proving the wisdom of Spinal Tap's "It's a fine line between clever and stupid."
	👻 7:01pm Aitch: Words to live by Mr Fab
	7:02pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Nimereht: A PhD can't be far behind!!!
	7:05pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): wow, this could be The Mills Brothers
	7:06pm Mr Fab: this is genuinely good. Could have been a hit on a major label, not just a "hit" on Major Label Records.
	7:08pm Nimereht: I do not feel heckled yet.
	7:09pm esme chicago: This wins the day.
	7:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Nimereht: my apologies! I'm a little out of practice. Lesseee… ya gotta say something for me to heckle first!
	7:13pm Nimereht: So it's my fault I can't get heckled?
	7:14pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: You're out of shape, gramps! You don't know how to get yourself heckled properly anymore!
	7:15pm Jeremy: I'm just the other feckless heckler.
	7:15pm Mr Fab: i was chatting with Mr Milstein about doing a show for us here at Sheena's back when I was founding this here channel a few years ago. The offer is still good, Phil!
	7:15pm Nimereht: I retired two days ago.
	7:15pm Webhamster Henry: @Mx BB It's best if I have good clean backing tracks instead of having to split them with Artificial Intelligence.
	7:16pm Nimereht: I'm on a competing station, so not really available unless I used a fake pseudonym.
	👻 7:16pm Aitch: Toenail / nightingale?
	7:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Nimereht: Well, that's better than the real pseudonyms you usually use!
	7:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Pep Lester, I mean, really!
	7:17pm Nimereht: The X is optional.
	7:18pm Webhamster Henry: I think I need more of a job before I can call myself retired.
	7:19pm Nimereht: www.youtube.com...
	7:21pm Franco Twinkie: It's kind of hard to keep food in my mouth while I'm listening to this.
	7:22pm ultradamno: Well, this is timely
	7:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Fuhrikking Ranco! Just DON'T INHALE.
	7:22pm Nimereht: Why would anyone want to keep food in their mouth?
	7:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: He can't find it, otherwise
	7:22pm Franco Twinkie: Baah baah beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
	7:23pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Say it don't spray it, Twinkie man!
	7:24pm Franco Twinkie: In the store?
	7:24pm Rich in Washington: YEAH!
	7:25pm ultradamno: I feel like I'm still recovering from that 'hot, tight and wet' line a few songs back
	7:25pm chresti: Shaves at the grocery store?
	7:25pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Life goals, chrestikins
	7:26pm Nimereht: Shakes
	7:26pm Franco Twinkie: She better not stick a porter house steak under her dress.
	7:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ultradamno: I was hoping to forget that. But you can't unhear that.
	7:33pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Yeah, you guys are even older than me!
	7:33pm ultradamno: I wanted to be a member of The Rave Ons just from hearing them, but that hitchhiking with bongos image only intensifies the desire.
	7:37pm ultradamno: I don't know if anyone said 'non-binary' in the seventies, but wasn't that what all the hip kids were?
	7:38pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ultradamno: I think in the '70s they called it androgynous. Or Glam.
	7:39pm Nimereht: Computers weren't even binary yet, let alone peoples.
	7:39pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: speaking of which, I just read Genesis P-Orridge's memoir ("NONBINARY") and there was quite a fun adventure with Don Bolles in there!
	7:39pm chresti: Dressed up in bacon?
	7:40pm Nimereht: He's trinary.
	7:40pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: yes
	7:41pm Rich in Washington: I can only imagine, Mx. BB!
	7:41pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Rich in Washington: don't try it at home
	7:43pm ultradamno: Grandmaster LeBlanc and the Perturbed Five
	7:44pm chresti: When was this made? Nice melted 8 track quality
	7:44pm Nimereht: '70s? '80s?
	7:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: This is the first time I've communicated with Milstein in about 20 years. So may I request another "WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME TO QUESTION AUTHORITY?" bumpersticker? Or do I go get one on Etsy now?
	7:45pm Nimereht: Not to put too fine a point on it.
	7:45pm ultradamno: To be picking up on that The Message influence, it would have to be at least 82 or 83
	7:46pm Nimereht: I have more but hasn't the moment passed on that one? Nobody under 40 knows what it's riffing on.
	7:46pm Franco Twinkie: Can you warm up my mac 'n cheese in your oven?
	7:46pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I live in an area with lots of retirees
	7:46pm Nimereht: Nobody under 70s or 80s.
	7:46pm ultradamno: Later, actally. Miami Vice didn't air until 84
	7:47pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: nothing pleases me more than bumperstickers that no one gets
	7:47pm Nimereht: "Violence Is A Deadly Domestic Sin"
	7:48pm Nimereht: What's got into me? Of course I meant "Deadly Violence Is A Domestic Sin"
	7:49pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Nimereht: I remember when you were rude to the person selling "Mean People Suck" bumperstickers
	7:49pm Nimereht: I have some good, newer B.S.'s with almost-current references.
	7:49pm chresti: T-shirts too, Baba Beekins
	7:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: And the time you called The Apology Line immediately after being rude to someone. I miss The Apology Line.
	7:50pm Rich in Washington: this is epic. epically horrible.
	7:50pm Nimereht: My latest one reads JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE SUCK
	7:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I'll take one!
	7:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: chrestikins: T-shirts get stuck in the wheels
	7:51pm Nimereht: I'll need a mail address.
	7:52pm Nimereht: Winding down this show. I reckon I can start drinkin' now.
	7:52pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: PO BOX 206 Lopez Island (everyone, feel free to send mail art, zines, and almost up-to-date bumperstickers)
	7:52pm Webhamster Henry: I like the Streetcar Cowboy's 4th wall breaking here.
	7:52pm chresti: Haha, that would make a good bumper sticker, Mx Baba
	7:53pm Nimereht: George Lopez has his own island?!
	7:53pm ultradamno: That does let all the non-Roys off the hook
	7:53pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: It smells like Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific with a swirl of Rogaine
	7:53pm DJ Babs: Fantastic show...as always, Don!!!
	7:54pm Franco Twinkie: This oblique and profound all rolled into one extra chewy message.
	7:54pm Nimereht: Is Lopez Island off the coast of Acapulco?
	7:54pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Thanks, Kitten Sparkles, my EMDR therapist pays her rent, thanks to the likes of you
	7:54pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Off the Coast of British Columbia
	7:55pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: but the Kaiser drew the boundary north of us, so were stuck in the USA
	7:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: *we're (I know punctuation matters to you)
	7:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: YAY WEIRDOS! Thanks Don, thanks, Phil. Yes, you ought to make up a fake pseudonym and do a Sheena's show.
	7:57pm Nimereht: Canada U.S.?
	7:57pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: on the US side, but less postage! I'll send you a zine
	7:58pm Franco Twinkie: Infotainment is all the more important now that the news is never funny anymore.
	7:58pm Nimereht: Mr. Fab you're welcome to write me off-list to discuss bootleg underground radio shows under your distortion.
	👻 7:58pm Aitch: I think I need that Music of America LP
	7:58pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: although that's what started all the trouble in the first place…
	7:58pm DJ Babs: Thanks Don!!!
	7:58pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: THE ANTHEM!

	5:37pm sufferwords: Wow Mike Fey reference
	5:37pm Becky Ebenkamp: Shoot, lost my sound.
	5:37pm Webhamster Henry: Young People Of Today have no idea what pre-internet obscurity networking was like!
	5:38pm Becky Ebenkamp: I remember that article!

	6:03pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Thanks!
	6:04pm Carmichael: If you can find the doc called Off The Charts about Rodd Keith and the others who made this stuff.
	6:05pm Cheree July: Makes sense. Just sing-speak it like Rex Harrison from My Fair Lady.😂
	6:07pm Carmichael: Towshend used the Chamberlain for the intro to Baba O'Riley.
	6:08pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: get technical! nerds rule!
	6:10pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Are there any PhD dissertations on song-poems?
	6:10pm chresti: Hi Kats and Kittens!
	6:10pm VincentNifigance: Bonnie Graham ‘Somebody Else’, please.
	6:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: CHRESTIKINS!

	6:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Just gotta mention that I am listening through my Singsation Star Burst All-In-One Bluetooth Karaoke Machine!
	6:12pm VincentNifigance: @Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) @Cheree July did a college project about them!
	6:13pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: wow!
	6:13pm Becky Ebenkamp: Hi, Oleh, if you’re still here!
	6:13pm Carmichael: vimeo.com...
	6:16pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Around the time of Off The Charts, I was in touch with Randy? Fox who was featured in the film. He sent me a a couple cds of various song poems he had a hand in scoring. Great stuff, included additional stuff by Calgar if I remember correctly. Does anyone know what happened to Calgar?
	6:16pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: that "telegraph" background vocal with the flute was a sweet touch
	6:16pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah! Bottom-of-the-barrel Song Poem outfit Royal Master!
	6:17pm VincentNifigance: Caglar is on Bandcamp. NSFW
	6:18pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @Mr Fab. Yes! The Christmas song collection is great!

	6:19pm ultradamno: Signed photo of george LIBERACE with his violin www.historyforsale.com...
	6:19pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @VincentNIfigance Thank you!
	6:20pm Webhamster Henry: Does Amanda know about these Animal songs?
	6:20pm VincentNifigance: @Oleh a lot of it is just ambient noise from his apartment with images of women devouring images of small men, be forewarned!
	6:21pm Carmichael: That song about Kung Fu Bicycles and Priscilla Presley was outstanding.
	6:21pm Rich in Washington: This is remarkably awful, even by Song Poem standards.
	6:22pm VincentNifigance: @Rich in Washington: you killed me! I think it’s a keeper.
	6:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I'm so sad Darryl couldn't listen live. He's been carrying the song-poem torch so faithfully!
	6:24pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @VincentNIfigance Oh man, gotta hear it. I trawled his name some years ago and came across some strange wrestling interests of his. I used to work with a psychiatrist who was the spitting image of Calgar. It was difficult to not see him doing Tae Quondo
	6:24pm Carmichael: Gene's claim to fame was as a background singer for Anita Kerr, which he repeated endlessly.
	6:24pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: there's a special glimpse into the human mind only song-poems can reveal
	6:24pm Mr Fab: esme chicago: all WFMU shows are archived a few hours after airing.
	6:26pm VincentNifigance: @Oleh I think I saw that! I’m sure there were even some videos of him being gleefully harrangued by Amazonian women on Godzilla-set landscapes.
	6:26pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: @Becky Ebenkamp Hi Becky, I am in song poem heaven right now. I’ve loved this genre for a long time.
	6:27pm VincentNifigance: @Mx. baba Bee (e/they) So many ‘Persons Of Interest’!
	6:29pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: My biggest regret in life was not following through on my song-poem masterpiece—sending the same poem to as many companies as possible and putting out an album of the results.
	6:29pm esme chicago: Thanks @Mr Fab! We wanna hear all of this show!
	6:30pm VincentNifigance: @Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) I sent David Fox an email inquiring about 10 years ago. Not affordable.
	6:31pm Carmichael: Is that Del Casher on guitar?
	6:31pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: VincentNifigance: did you ever do one?!?!
	6:31pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: That was his name, David Fox. Is he still in the biz
	6:31pm Mr Fab: wow, Baba Bee, that's a brilliant idea!
	6:33pm VincentNifigance: @Mx, Baba Bee (e/they) it was about $400, I couldn’t do it. He did send some follow ups reducing the price a few times after my silence I think, but still too steep for me.
	6:34pm VincentNifigance: This Is amazing
	6:34pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Mr Fab: thanks! I was mentored by Phil X himself. :-)
	6:34pm Webhamster Henry: I am going to Mt. Kisco.
	6:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: $400 for one song?
	6:35pm Mr Fab: Attention song-poem fans! Darryl plays his "Song-Poem of the Week" on every episode of The World's Worst Records. He even did an all dead-Elvis song-poem special: wfmu.org...
	6:35pm VincentNifigance: I…appreciate your concern…
	6:35pm ultradamno: Hey sexy, what's your zodiac, I'm so concerned This defines mixed messages
	6:35pm Kitten Sparkles: Hi gang! Imtrying to get Phil on the chatroom thing.
	6:35pm VincentNifigance: @Mx, Baba Bee (e/they) Oh, yes….
	6:36pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: VincentNifigance: ok, yeah, that's a bit steep
	6:36pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Get that Milstein on the chat, already! I gotta heckle him!
	6:38pm Carmichael: My God this awful ...
	6:39pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: The song-poem salute!
	👻 6:40pm Aitch: Quite extraordinary
	👻 6:43pm WR: Hello Mx. Baba Bee, and the many attracted to the light bulb of the song poem. Just finished reading the recent Ugly Things article by Phil linked above on his site. Very informative and interesting.
	6:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: WR: howdy! could not resist!!!
	6:44pm Mr Fab: after downloading this track "Gyrate For Physicet Beam Dreams, Kay" way back, I remember looking up the word "Physicet." It apparently does not exist.
	6:45pm ultradamno: Well, OK. They were lawyers, but they had ears, right?
	6:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Never let it be said Milstein doesn't put his heart into it.
	6:51pm Webhamster Henry: Phil X. is the Phil Schaap of Song Poems.
	6:53pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: RIP Phil Schaap
	6:55pm ultradamno: This wasn't a K release in the 80s?
	6:56pm Webhamster Henry: Let's lick this crisis American Style!
	👻 6:58pm Aitch: Torn between Rave-Ons being genius or the worst thing ever heard
	6:58pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: WHHenry: will you please make karaoke tracks for these?!?!?
	7:00pm Nimereht: Oh hi, I finally got on this danged chatroom. Replying to a Q way up there near the start, a lady at Brown U. wrote a thesis a few years back on song-poem music. It was for a class rather than a PhD or master's, but it was involved and interesting and accomplished. Somehow she managed to spin it into a feminist theme. --Phil
	7:00pm Mr Fab: Aitch, again proving the wisdom of Spinal Tap's "It's a fine line between clever and stupid."
	👻 7:01pm Aitch: Words to live by Mr Fab
	7:02pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Nimereht: A PhD can't be far behind!!!
	7:05pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): wow, this could be The Mills Brothers
	7:06pm Mr Fab: this is genuinely good. Could have been a hit on a major label, not just a "hit" on Major Label Records.
	7:08pm Nimereht: I do not feel heckled yet.
	7:09pm esme chicago: This wins the day.
	7:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Nimereht: my apologies! I'm a little out of practice. Lesseee… ya gotta say something for me to heckle first!
	7:13pm Nimereht: So it's my fault I can't get heckled?
	7:14pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: You're out of shape, gramps! You don't know how to get yourself heckled properly anymore!
	7:15pm Jeremy: I'm just the other feckless heckler.
	7:15pm Mr Fab: i was chatting with Mr Milstein about doing a show for us here at Sheena's back when I was founding this here channel a few years ago. The offer is still good, Phil!
	7:15pm Nimereht: I retired two days ago.
	7:15pm Webhamster Henry: @Mx BB It's best if I have good clean backing tracks instead of having to split them with Artificial Intelligence.
	7:16pm Nimereht: I'm on a competing station, so not really available unless I used a fake pseudonym.
	👻 7:16pm Aitch: Toenail / nightingale?
	7:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Nimereht: Well, that's better than the real pseudonyms you usually use!
	7:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Pep Lester, I mean, really!
	7:17pm Nimereht: The X is optional.
	7:18pm Webhamster Henry: I think I need more of a job before I can call myself retired.
	7:19pm Nimereht: www.youtube.com...
	7:21pm Franco Twinkie: It's kind of hard to keep food in my mouth while I'm listening to this.
	7:22pm ultradamno: Well, this is timely
	7:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Fuhrikking Ranco! Just DON'T INHALE.
	7:22pm Nimereht: Why would anyone want to keep food in their mouth?
	7:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: He can't find it, otherwise
	7:22pm Franco Twinkie: Baah baah beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
	7:23pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Say it don't spray it, Twinkie man!
	7:24pm Franco Twinkie: In the store?
	7:24pm Rich in Washington: YEAH!
	7:25pm ultradamno: I feel like I'm still recovering from that 'hot, tight and wet' line a few songs back
	7:25pm chresti: Shaves at the grocery store?
	7:25pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Life goals, chrestikins
	7:26pm Nimereht: Shakes
	7:26pm Franco Twinkie: She better not stick a porter house steak under her dress.
	7:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ultradamno: I was hoping to forget that. But you can't unhear that.
	7:33pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Yeah, you guys are even older than me!
	7:33pm ultradamno: I wanted to be a member of The Rave Ons just from hearing them, but that hitchhiking with bongos image only intensifies the desire.
	7:37pm ultradamno: I don't know if anyone said 'non-binary' in the seventies, but wasn't that what all the hip kids were?
	7:38pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: ultradamno: I think in the '70s they called it androgynous. Or Glam.
	7:39pm Nimereht: Computers weren't even binary yet, let alone peoples.
	7:39pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: speaking of which, I just read Genesis P-Orridge's memoir ("NONBINARY") and there was quite a fun adventure with Don Bolles in there!
	7:39pm chresti: Dressed up in bacon?
	7:40pm Nimereht: He's trinary.
	7:40pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: yes
	7:41pm Rich in Washington: I can only imagine, Mx. BB!
	7:41pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Rich in Washington: don't try it at home
	7:43pm ultradamno: Grandmaster LeBlanc and the Perturbed Five
	7:44pm chresti: When was this made? Nice melted 8 track quality
	7:44pm Nimereht: '70s? '80s?
	7:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: This is the first time I've communicated with Milstein in about 20 years. So may I request another "WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME TO QUESTION AUTHORITY?" bumpersticker? Or do I go get one on Etsy now?
	7:45pm Nimereht: Not to put too fine a point on it.
	7:45pm ultradamno: To be picking up on that The Message influence, it would have to be at least 82 or 83
	7:46pm Nimereht: I have more but hasn't the moment passed on that one? Nobody under 40 knows what it's riffing on.
	7:46pm Franco Twinkie: Can you warm up my mac 'n cheese in your oven?
	7:46pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I live in an area with lots of retirees
	7:46pm Nimereht: Nobody under 70s or 80s.
	7:46pm ultradamno: Later, actally. Miami Vice didn't air until 84

	7:48pm Nimereht: What's got into me? Of course I meant "Deadly Violence Is A Domestic Sin"
	7:49pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: Nimereht: I remember when you were rude to the person selling "Mean People Suck" bumperstickers
	7:49pm Nimereht: I have some good, newer B.S.'s with almost-current references.
	7:49pm chresti: T-shirts too, Baba Beekins
	7:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: And the time you called The Apology Line immediately after being rude to someone. I miss The Apology Line.
	7:50pm Rich in Washington: this is epic. epically horrible.
	7:50pm Nimereht: My latest one reads JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE SUCK
	7:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: I'll take one!
	7:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: chrestikins: T-shirts get stuck in the wheels
	7:51pm Nimereht: I'll need a mail address.

	7:52pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: PO BOX 206 Lopez Island (everyone, feel free to send mail art, zines, and almost up-to-date bumperstickers)
	7:52pm Webhamster Henry: I like the Streetcar Cowboy's 4th wall breaking here.
	7:52pm chresti: Haha, that would make a good bumper sticker, Mx Baba
	7:53pm Nimereht: George Lopez has his own island?!
	7:53pm ultradamno: That does let all the non-Roys off the hook
	7:53pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they) ⚧: It smells like Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific with a swirl of Rogaine
	7:53pm DJ Babs: Fantastic show...as always, Don!!!
