	9:08am Stanley: Hey Tom Dachshund and board listeners.
	9:10am karlward: I prefer my psychedelic blues at maximum
	9:10am YETI BOB: this is music i would never pick for the morning. but somehow it's working. that's why you need external influences! thanks tom.
	9:11am Creature Boy: Newspaper taxis
	9:12am YETI BOB: (my volume is NOT at max, karl. it's at about 2/10. too early to crank it!)
	9:12am Brainiac from Neuron 3: Thomas Blanchard Wilson Jr. (March 25, 1931 – September 6, 1978) was an American record producer best known for his work in the 1960s with The Velvet Underground, Nico, Bob Dylan, the Mothers of Invention, Simon & Garfunkel, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Eddie Harris, Eric Burdon and the Animals, the Blues Project, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, and others. Wilson was an important producer (alongside his contemporaries Phil Spector, George Martin, Jimmy Miller, Brian Wilson, Quincy Jones, Tom Dowd, and Teo Macero) of the 1960s. He has been said to have had the skill of "putting the right people together for the right projects".
	9:12am Erin in TO: @Yeti Bob I think that's truly one of the greatest things about WFMU, is how much new stuff it gives me that I'd never think of or know of
	9:13am karlward: YETI BOB: well at least crank the psych dial up to max, come on
	9:14am TomDash: 1st set is all new(ish) releases of Les Rallizes Denudes to start the weekend off right...
	9:15am MikeG: Get that wee pup a sandwich!
	9:15am YETI BOB: I tried to get into this band a few years ago, bought "Heavier than a Death in the Family", didn't like it at all - as I recall it had a lot of painful, screeching guitar feedback - but this is sounding a lot groovier and cooler to me today. I really appreciate it.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: Whoa, lyrics!
	9:16am LastVisibleDog: Just normal radio. Nothing weird going on here.
	9:16am karlward: YETI BOB: have you heard Headroom (Kryssi Battalene's band out of New Haven)?
	9:17am YETI BOB: karlward - now I have, thanks!
	9:17am karlward: YETI BOB: It has that feedback forward mouth feel, but without the screeching aftertaste
	9:17am HyperDose: @MikeG But what kind of sandwich? I know the listeners are really picky about their delis
	9:18am karlward: YETI BOB: First Headroom I heard was "City Lights" with its jaw dropping edge of feedback solo: headroomnhv.bandcamp.com...
	9:19am TomDash: @Yeti Bob - I'll agree they can be kinda hard to get into - loads of lo-fi quality screech out there...this concert from the box set sounds pretty great though! AND there are going to be actually official releases from Takashi Mizutani's archives...first one is slated for April in Asia and October in the US...gonna play first track released in a moment...
	9:19am Stanley: This is dynamite.
	9:20am Ken From Hyde Park: A week to prepare — www.isitbandcampfriday.com
	9:20am YETI BOB: I guess everybody knows this, but this band has an absolutely wild back story. In 67-68 they had ties to the Japanese Red Army, were total political radicals, and the original bassist was part of a group that hijacked a plane and went to North Korea and was never heard from again. That's pretty extreme!
	9:20am LesleyK: Hey Tom, the tunes are waking me up, thanks
	9:21am Creature Boy: Came across this band like 4 yrs ago? Thxfor the reminder
	9:21am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:22am TomDash: new official website and there is a good interview with the producer/archivist somewhere...www.lesrallizesdenudes-official.com
	9:22am luka: awful time for a first-thing in the morning meeting with all these LRD jammers.
	9:23am YETI BOB: original bassist still living in exile in North Korea! en.wikipedia.org...
	9:24am YETI BOB: hey luka, just wanted to tell you we saw Alabaster dePlume the other night, backed by members of Black Monument Ensemble. It was really magical, I want to thank you again for turning me on to this guy
	9:24am luka: @YB oh my
	9:25am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. Gotta "dash"--shower then work...
	9:25am YETI BOB: Some rock-n-rollers blow up toilets in the hotel room, others hijack airplanes
	9:26am TomDash: Yeti Bob - wanted to catch the NY show...in my neighborhood no less...but I missed it..
	9:26am Cat H: This is so good. I'm so annoyed I have to leave the house. Thanks, Tom!!
	9:27am TomDash: just clearing the head here folks! morning Handy, Lesley. luka, Krys, Threemoons (ciao!), Hyperdose, Erin, Ken and all the freak-formers out there!
	9:27am luka: @YB my "oh my" was just in response to the plane hijacking, that's really wonderful re: the dePlume gig.
	9:30am YETI BOB: luka: yeah, i managed to untangle the threads. async communcation, man.
	9:31am evancuts: This is soooooo good.
	9:33am Handy Haversack: Well, that was some fire right there!
	9:35am luka: April in Japan, Oct. in U.S. reminds me of when we used to import Sega Saturn games for that reason.
	9:36am Polyus: I'm oddly disappointed their stuff is getting an "official" release, have always enjoyed the mysterious bootlegged aura surrounding that band.
	9:38am morphe': Re: Moriaki Wakabayashi Japanese hijackers go home after 32 years on the run.. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/sep/09/japan.jonathanwatts1
	9:40am YETI BOB: Interesting morphe'. That article (from 2002) says they were "pleading" and "preparing" to go home. But Wikipiedia says he's still there. Maybe it didn't go through?
	9:42am TomDash: @Polyus...I'm psyched just because there MUST be more studio stuff out there and hoping for higher fidelity! It will take time to get this stuff out...and apparently there are loads of unreleased tapes too!!
	9:42am YETI BOB: here's a 2017 interview with him, i'm going to check this out later www.youtube.com...
	9:42am Handy Haversack: Post-Marathon shows are so great. An enormous sigh of relief and happiness in the form of pent-up music!
	9:43am Handy Haversack: TomDash, did you say anything about the Fushitsusha LPs getting a reissue? Any rumor of that out there?
	9:45am TomDash: Handy, no I just mentioned them in passing - rival LRD in the Japanese underground...I know Black Editions has been doing some Keiji Haino stuff - you should drop them a line! Would be great if those first couple PSF releases came out! Best
	9:45am Will: Sample snippet of kitchen conversation from this morning: Lisa: "How is Tom Dash doing today?" Will: He's being a bit difficult." Lisa: "Oh good!"
	9:50am HyperDose: My wrist hurts just hearing that guitar
	9:51am morphe': Yeti - it does seem some were allowed out and others not??? A"bit" of bad planning = not realizing a plane of that size could not do a long haul to Cuba. There was a great Nat'l Lampoon issue of anti-terrorist full page glossy cartoons (late '70s?) one of which was a guy hijacking a bus in the us demanding that the bus go to Cuba....
	9:53am TomDash: Ha - Will - love it
	9:54am morphe': Yeti - I'll check it .. thanks - that was 2017 or posted then...
	9:56am YETI BOB: morphe' interview done in 2017 as far as i can tell. i haven't watched it yet
	9:56am Susan: Good tunes Tom
	10:01am iiibeat: Radial Wind Enmeshed and ensconced in false equivalents . . Wisdom is a vacuum fulfilled by an endless sequence of vacuums fulfilled. A subtle movement by an insect antenna causes an avalanche of mind to cover over my mind. Language dies at the Altar of Intention.
	10:03am morphe': Yeti - just watched a bit in silence with subtitles ... definitely a thoughtful person ... not a spoiler but he credits '60s music with part of his radicalization away from being previously "a model student." Imagine..
	10:03am TomDash: hey thanks Susan...glad ya dig
	10:05am YETI BOB: morphe': I couldn't resist, I'm watching it now (sorry Tom) this is a really good interview, highly recommended. It seems pretty clear that he's still in North Korea. And yeah, it's all the Beatles fault! He grew his hair long in imitation of the mop-tops, then he got hassled by his gym teacher, next thing you know he's a radical, trying to bring about revolution!
	10:07am courtneynoir: Guten Morgen allerseits
	10:08am TomDash: yo courtneynoir...welcome!
	10:12am BVP: I am a sucker for this sound!
	10:16am Nick K: I love your bed music
	10:16am Nick K: What is it
	10:16am Handy Haversack: OK, longshot here, but is anyone else having Gmail break Firefox when you use the Compose window or edit the subject of an e-mail? I think it's an add-on that's interfering here, but I'm not sure which and was hoping someone else had figured this out.
	10:23am Ryansterlingvirtue: @handy can you try to reinstall firefox, or disable all of your addons?
	10:24am ?: @Nick K It’s Benzoil: https://benzoil.bandcamp.com/
	10:25am HyperDose: I just updated to 98.0.2 and Gmail is working fine with all add-ons enabled
	10:27am mndave: @TomDash and others - any recommendations on starting point[s] for digging into The Ex's back catalog? Familiar with Moa Anbessa and some of the mid-2010s singles, but their sound can't be pinned down to those, obviously
	10:27am Handy Haversack: Yeah, ryansterlingvirtue, it worked fine in Troubleshooting Mode (all add-ons disabled), so that's why I think it's one of them suddenly causing a problem. Since the add-ons are all privacy-focused, it makes sense that Google would get all humpty about one! I may have solved it by turning off a bunch of stuff in the ClearURLs add-ons. I have successfully composed three e-mails, so for now I'm going to take the win. Yaaaaaay, now I can work again. Yaaaaay.
	10:29am TomDash: @mndave - superior viaduct recently reissued a bunch of early stuff you can check out...maybe sample on bandcamp? Then for more recent stuff, there are lots of great live shows on Youtube that are fantastic!
	10:31am mndave: @TomDash - thanks! and yep, I think it was a year or two ago you played a live version of "That's Not A Virus" which hooked me and has a fantastic Youtube video to go with it.
	10:37am minkwest: Hello everyone. Damn, I missed the start with Les Raillizes Denude. Thank goodness for archives. Congratulations on the successful fundraiser!
	10:38am BLCKDGRD: Holcomb's voice reminds me it's been years since I heard a Victoria Williams song
	10:39am blucoffee: Wow a hidden gem that until now i thought i was the only spinner of the tune
	10:39am evancuts: This record was on heavy rotation in my apartment back in the mid 90s.
	10:41am woj: wow haven't thought about robin holcomb in years and now i feel like i'm going to have to listen to all her records this weekend...
	10:43am TomDash: @woj...played her once on my show about a year ago? Same response! She's a treasure that people need to be reminded about!
	10:45am evancuts: Just looked on my CD shelf. Robin Holcomb is in a row next to Barbara Manning, Lisa Germano and Tiny Lights. A genre I've almost forgotten but adored.
	10:46am woj: absolutely! was lucky to see her in 90 or 91 at the original knitting factory. the two things i remember most about that show are 1) she really signs that beautifully for real! and 2) bill frisell has a lot of hair!
	10:50am minkwest: Super sludgey sound.
	10:51am greenlight: sludgy alright, what an interesting sludgy detuned track
	10:52am evancuts: I was at that Knitting Factory show! NYT review: Robin Holcomb's folk music, acoustic and distraught, is for the 21st century. At the Knitting Factory on Thursday night, this Seattle-based singer and pianist performed songs that, whatever their explicit lyric content, seemed to be about loss. Ms. Holcomb sat at a grand piano, her pale hair falling down her back, her hands sewing melodic phrases that were simple and homespun pure. Her voice was so fragile, you feared it might break; her performance had a devastatingly poetic quality, like a tune from a music box, or a moment of silence. Ms. Holcomb's songs are enlarged moments. She repeats images again and again, until a line like "needle full of miracles" escalates to the grand proportion of worldly significance. Her lyrics are thoughts, stark yet vague, that beg to be filled in by the listener. "So Straight and Slow," a song from her 1990 debut album "Robin Holcomb" (Elektra Musician), begins with the words, "A deer struck down by a car brings two cows in trade," then unravels into a mysterious remembrance of a long day's drive. At the Knitting Factory she managed not to be precious by coloring her thoughts with rainy, gray accompaniment. The clarinetist Doug Wieselman played a counter-line that threaded her vocals, and her left hand would suddenly strike a minor chord that upset the delicate melodic balance. Throughout the set, Ms. Holcomb's usually subtle arrangements -- bass, electric and acoustic guitar, brushed drums, saxophone -- would occasionally balloon into full-out adult rock, with screaming guitar leads and busy drum fills. But she was at her best when she was alone. The opening song, which began with the line "I want to tell the story," needed only soft chords played one after another with sonorous regularity; "Deliver Me," an encore, had a plaintive melody as immediately memorable as its reflection that "the light is only perfect for a very short time." Ms. Holcomb eschewed showy techniques and elaborations. Her music expressed a longing for a simplicity of life that is too quickly dissipating.
	10:54am woj: hah amazing! sometimes i wonder if things i thought happened really did or not - glad to have this validated!
	10:54am Alvy Singer: @Tom..Thanks for playing Paul Leary. This record is just nuts. Proves he was the craziest member of Butthole Surfers.
	10:59am HyperDose: Legend has it that Tom Dash found Waldo one time back in the 70's
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Gotta walk the hound around and then go sit in the car until 1. Will be listening from there. Thanks, TomDash! Totally fantastic show! Keep on Dashing, all!
	11:00am ParUbi: Hey everyone
	11:05am MD: -.-./---/-./--./.-./.-/-/...*** .--/..-./--/..-!!!
	11:11am Polyus: Wow I haven't heard Guerilla Toss in a few years, very different sound these days.
	11:11am Chris Hiatt: Typo on the band name.
	11:13am Chris Hiatt: Great band! Cool people. Thanks for playing.
	11:13am TomDash: thanks Chris!
	11:13am Carmichael: Heya Tom and magic dashers. I'ma have a listen ...
	11:19am Warwick joe: Loving the show.
	11:21am Pale Son: This is amazing.
	11:21am morphe': Thanks TD and all .. must do some food shopping ...
	11:22am joe mulligan: @Handy ahh the alternate side shuffle. good luck with the musical chairs!
	11:24am courtneynoir: this is one of those songs where I'll get a text message or something and it'll make me realize I've just been staring at my computer screen since the song started
	11:31am Carmichael: Hey morphe, just saw the movie Belfast last night. Interesting and entertaining.
	11:33am tim from washington: Hey Tom and everybody! I'm happy to be listening to a little earlier than normal for me. What a treat!
	11:33am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: TUXEDO MOON. Always great.
	11:34am tim from washington: Has anyone read Michael Belfer's memoir that Hozac put out? I haven't yet but really need to.
	11:34am coco: yeah!!!
	11:36am dave wuz here: if no tears isnt my favorite song ever it's close
	11:36am courtneynoir: @tim yeah it's a good read
	11:40am Carmichael: Bruce Geduldig died in 2016, did not know. He was a Sacramento lad.
	11:40am dave wuz here: chrisma -black silk stockings- another top ten
	11:41am Doobois: I can't wait to get mine, TD! So much goodness heard so far.
	11:41am egould310: If you keep playing music Tom, I won’t have to get out of bed.
	11:46am TomDash: Hey @Doobois - that's great! Yeah it was a blast putting together - @egould310...you're making me fade faster than I was!
	11:53am rx scabin: Good afternoon. I have been listening and have nothing to say.
	11:55am TomDash: Hey rx - thanks for checking in!
	11:56am TomDash: wrapping up here folks...thanks as always for hanging, had a blast as per usual!!!
	11:57am courtneynoir: Fabulous as always!

That's pretty extreme!
	9:20am LesleyK: Hey Tom, the tunes are waking me up, thanks
	9:21am Creature Boy: Came across this band like 4 yrs ago? Thxfor the reminder
	9:21am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:22am TomDash: new official website and there is a good interview with the producer/archivist somewhere...www.lesrallizesdenudes-official.com
	9:22am luka: awful time for a first-thing in the morning meeting with all these LRD jammers.
	9:23am YETI BOB: original bassist still living in exile in North Korea! en.wikipedia.org...
	9:24am YETI BOB: hey luka, just wanted to tell you we saw Alabaster dePlume the other night, backed by members of Black Monument Ensemble. It was really magical, I want to thank you again for turning me on to this guy
	9:24am luka: @YB oh my
	9:25am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. Gotta "dash"--shower then work...
	9:25am YETI BOB: Some rock-n-rollers blow up toilets in the hotel room, others hijack airplanes
	9:26am TomDash: Yeti Bob - wanted to catch the NY show...in my neighborhood no less...but I missed it..
	9:26am Cat H: This is so good. I'm so annoyed I have to leave the house. Thanks, Tom!!
	9:27am TomDash: just clearing the head here folks! morning Handy, Lesley. luka, Krys, Threemoons (ciao!), Hyperdose, Erin, Ken and all the freak-formers out there!
	9:27am luka: @YB my "oh my" was just in response to the plane hijacking, that's really wonderful re: the dePlume gig.
	9:30am YETI BOB: luka: yeah, i managed to untangle the threads. async communcation, man.
	9:31am evancuts: This is soooooo good.
	9:33am Handy Haversack: Well, that was some fire right there!
	9:35am luka: April in Japan, Oct. in U.S. reminds me of when we used to import Sega Saturn games for that reason.
	9:36am Polyus: I'm oddly disappointed their stuff is getting an "official" release, have always enjoyed the mysterious bootlegged aura surrounding that band.
	9:38am morphe': Re: Moriaki Wakabayashi Japanese hijackers go home after 32 years on the run.. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/sep/09/japan.jonathanwatts1
	9:40am YETI BOB: Interesting morphe'. That article (from 2002) says they were "pleading" and "preparing" to go home. But Wikipiedia says he's still there. Maybe it didn't go through?
	9:42am TomDash: @Polyus...I'm psyched just because there MUST be more studio stuff out there and hoping for higher fidelity! It will take time to get this stuff out...and apparently there are loads of unreleased tapes too!!
	9:42am YETI BOB: here's a 2017 interview with him, i'm going to check this out later www.youtube.com...
	9:42am Handy Haversack: Post-Marathon shows are so great. An enormous sigh of relief and happiness in the form of pent-up music!
	9:43am Handy Haversack: TomDash, did you say anything about the Fushitsusha LPs getting a reissue? Any rumor of that out there?
	9:45am TomDash: Handy, no I just mentioned them in passing - rival LRD in the Japanese underground...I know Black Editions has been doing some Keiji Haino stuff - you should drop them a line! Would be great if those first couple PSF releases came out! Best
	9:45am Will: Sample snippet of kitchen conversation from this morning: Lisa: "How is Tom Dash doing today?" Will: He's being a bit difficult." Lisa: "Oh good!"
	9:50am HyperDose: My wrist hurts just hearing that guitar
	9:51am morphe': Yeti - it does seem some were allowed out and others not??? A"bit" of bad planning = not realizing a plane of that size could not do a long haul to Cuba. There was a great Nat'l Lampoon issue of anti-terrorist full page glossy cartoons (late '70s?) one of which was a guy hijacking a bus in the us demanding that the bus go to Cuba....
	9:53am TomDash: Ha - Will - love it
	9:54am morphe': Yeti - I'll check it .. thanks - that was 2017 or posted then...
	9:56am YETI BOB: morphe' interview done in 2017 as far as i can tell. i haven't watched it yet
	9:56am Susan: Good tunes Tom
	10:01am iiibeat: Radial Wind Enmeshed and ensconced in false equivalents . . Wisdom is a vacuum fulfilled by an endless sequence of vacuums fulfilled. A subtle movement by an insect antenna causes an avalanche of mind to cover over my mind. Language dies at the Altar of Intention.
	10:03am morphe': Yeti - just watched a bit in silence with subtitles ... definitely a thoughtful person ... not a spoiler but he credits '60s music with part of his radicalization away from being previously "a model student." Imagine..
	10:03am TomDash: hey thanks Susan...glad ya dig
	10:05am YETI BOB: morphe': I couldn't resist, I'm watching it now (sorry Tom) this is a really good interview, highly recommended. It seems pretty clear that he's still in North Korea. And yeah, it's all the Beatles fault! He grew his hair long in imitation of the mop-tops, then he got hassled by his gym teacher, next thing you know he's a radical, trying to bring about revolution!
	10:07am courtneynoir: Guten Morgen allerseits
	10:08am TomDash: yo courtneynoir...welcome!
	10:12am BVP: I am a sucker for this sound!
	10:16am Nick K: I love your bed music
	10:16am Nick K: What is it
	10:16am Handy Haversack: OK, longshot here, but is anyone else having Gmail break Firefox when you use the Compose window or edit the subject of an e-mail? I think it's an add-on that's interfering here, but I'm not sure which and was hoping someone else had figured this out.
	10:23am Ryansterlingvirtue: @handy can you try to reinstall firefox, or disable all of your addons?
	10:24am ?: @Nick K It’s Benzoil: https://benzoil.bandcamp.com/
	10:25am HyperDose: I just updated to 98.0.2 and Gmail is working fine with all add-ons enabled
	10:27am mndave: @TomDash and others - any recommendations on starting point[s] for digging into The Ex's back catalog? Familiar with Moa Anbessa and some of the mid-2010s singles, but their sound can't be pinned down to those, obviously
	10:27am Handy Haversack: Yeah, ryansterlingvirtue, it worked fine in Troubleshooting Mode (all add-ons disabled), so that's why I think it's one of them suddenly causing a problem. Since the add-ons are all privacy-focused, it makes sense that Google would get all humpty about one! I may have solved it by turning off a bunch of stuff in the ClearURLs add-ons. I have successfully composed three e-mails, so for now I'm going to take the win. Yaaaaaay, now I can work again. Yaaaaay.
	10:29am TomDash: @mndave - superior viaduct recently reissued a bunch of early stuff you can check out...maybe sample on bandcamp? Then for more recent stuff, there are lots of great live shows on Youtube that are fantastic!
	10:31am mndave: @TomDash - thanks! and yep, I think it was a year or two ago you played a live version of "That's Not A Virus" which hooked me and has a fantastic Youtube video to go with it.
	10:37am minkwest: Hello everyone. Damn, I missed the start with Les Raillizes Denude. Thank goodness for archives. Congratulations on the successful fundraiser!
	10:38am BLCKDGRD: Holcomb's voice reminds me it's been years since I heard a Victoria Williams song
	10:39am blucoffee: Wow a hidden gem that until now i thought i was the only spinner of the tune
	10:39am evancuts: This record was on heavy rotation in my apartment back in the mid 90s.
	10:41am woj: wow haven't thought about robin holcomb in years and now i feel like i'm going to have to listen to all her records this weekend...
	10:43am TomDash: @woj...played her once on my show about a year ago? Same response! She's a treasure that people need to be reminded about!
	10:45am evancuts: Just looked on my CD shelf. Robin Holcomb is in a row next to Barbara Manning, Lisa Germano and Tiny Lights. A genre I've almost forgotten but adored.
	10:46am woj: absolutely! was lucky to see her in 90 or 91 at the original knitting factory. the two things i remember most about that show are 1) she really signs that beautifully for real! and 2) bill frisell has a lot of hair!
	10:50am minkwest: Super sludgey sound.
	10:51am greenlight: sludgy alright, what an interesting sludgy detuned track
	10:52am evancuts: I was at that Knitting Factory show! NYT review: Robin Holcomb's folk music, acoustic and distraught, is for the 21st century. At the Knitting Factory on Thursday night, this Seattle-based singer and pianist performed songs that, whatever their explicit lyric content, seemed to be about loss. Ms. Holcomb sat at a grand piano, her pale hair falling down her back, her hands sewing melodic phrases that were simple and homespun pure. Her voice was so fragile, you feared it might break; her performance had a devastatingly poetic quality, like a tune from a music box, or a moment of silence. Ms. Holcomb's songs are enlarged moments. She repeats images again and again, until a line like "needle full of miracles" escalates to the grand proportion of worldly significance. Her lyrics are thoughts, stark yet vague, that beg to be filled in by the listener. "So Straight and Slow," a song from her 1990 debut album "Robin Holcomb" (Elektra Musician), begins with the words, "A deer struck down by a car brings two cows in trade," then unravels into a mysterious remembrance of a long day's drive. At the Knitting Factory she managed not to be precious by coloring her thoughts with rainy, gray accompaniment. The clarinetist Doug Wieselman played a counter-line that threaded her vocals, and her left hand would suddenly strike a minor chord that upset the delicate melodic balance. Throughout the set, Ms. Holcomb's usually subtle arrangements -- bass, electric and acoustic guitar, brushed drums, saxophone -- would occasionally balloon into full-out adult rock, with screaming guitar leads and busy drum fills. But she was at her best when she was alone. The opening song, which began with the line "I want to tell the story," needed only soft chords played one after another with sonorous regularity; "Deliver Me," an encore, had a plaintive melody as immediately memorable as its reflection that "the light is only perfect for a very short time." Ms. Holcomb eschewed showy techniques and elaborations. Her music expressed a longing for a simplicity of life that is too quickly dissipating.
	10:54am woj: hah amazing! sometimes i wonder if things i thought happened really did or not - glad to have this validated!
	10:54am Alvy Singer: @Tom..Thanks for playing Paul Leary. This record is just nuts. Proves he was the craziest member of Butthole Surfers.
	10:59am HyperDose: Legend has it that Tom Dash found Waldo one time back in the 70's
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Gotta walk the hound around and then go sit in the car until 1. Will be listening from there. Thanks, TomDash! Totally fantastic show! Keep on Dashing, all!
	11:00am ParUbi: Hey everyone
