	12:55am Mike Sin: hello rw
	12:57am Ken From Hyde Park: I found some visuals for tonight, since rich isn't here. www.fineartamerica.com...
	12:57am rw: Hey Mike Sin. Thanks for filling in again! Optics are Sounding great.
	12:58am rw: Whoa. KFHP comes through once again.
	12:58am Franco Twinkie: RW, I spent two nights at my mom's house until Chresti had two negatives after getting on an aeroplane. She's in the kitchen right now making a bedtime potion, without any cooty bugs.
	1:00am Mike Sin: Good to hear, Franco.
	1:01am rw: Franco, that was nice of your mom to take you in for a few days. Glad everyone is positively negative!
	1:02am coelacanth∅: i second the praise of that picture Franco. aside from the main subject; the photography and attention to details is very impressive
	1:03am Franco Twinkie: My mom has left the room RW. Her house is now my retreat. I'm gonna lay in the dark now. Thanks Mike, I love this magical mix.
	1:04am coelacanth∅: i like that dresser too. it looks like cheap crap! but with some character. it's a shame it was given up on.
	1:05am rw: Ah. Sorry to hear that FT. I know the two of you were close.
	1:06am rw: Goodnight Franco!
	1:06am rw: Howdy coelacanth!
	1:06am Mike Sin: Thanks, Franco.
	1:07am Joe B: great Gene Clark track!
	1:07am Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Sorry for your loss Franco
	1:08am Mike Sin: Hey there coelacanth∅
	1:09am Mike Sin: Joe B -- "White Light" is his best, most cohesive album. Love it!
	1:14am coelacanth∅: 'evening rw!
	1:15am Tome: Great STuFF Mike Sin lovin' it !<>!
	1:17am Joe B: surface noise specials!
	1:17am rw: Love the campfire sounds.
	1:18am rw: D4... can you get that anymore? I have a few drops left from the '80s.
	1:18am coelacanth∅: spin-clean. $125 and i feel like an idiot for not buying it 30 years ago.
	1:21am Whosondephone: Been using dawn and a carbon brush. Been curious myself about a record cleaner.
	1:21am coelacanth∅: i still use the discwasher. the original, not the cheap imitation made after it was bought out. just with distilled water. if i had access to free photoflow i'd put a drop or 2 in it. but the spin clean is excellent.
	1:21am rw: Tell me more coelacanth. Most of my LPs are pretty clean but there are a few could use some work. Or should I just go ahead, order one and find out for myself?
	1:24am rw: I've heard good and bad about photoflo, but I feel like it must be more or less like D4 if diluted properly.
	1:24am coelacanth∅: rw it's basically a bin. put distilled water and a capful of their miracle fluid, the brushes and the rollers and spin the records manually. dry them with lint-free cloths before lining them up in a dish drainer.
	1:24am Mike Sin: Spon-clean, huh? Should take the plunge.
	1:24am Tome: vacuum the record(s) first or you're gonna embed the grit into the grooves with the ie... cleaning brush
	1:27am Tome: this one is really headphone candy now !<>! ooo the flashbacks <>
	1:28am coelacanth∅: rw i've never heard bad things about a drop of photoflo in a cup (or a pint?) of distilled water to recreate D4... but the distilled water does okay. zerostat sometimes makes a huge difference too..but sometimes nearly none.
	1:30am Whosondephone: Spin-clean does look nice! I like simplicity.
	1:32am Mike Sin: Thanks for joining in, Tome.
	1:32am Tome: fur shure thank you for the great sounds , this really making me wind down now crazy week!<>!
	1:32am coelacanth∅: Tome i understand the concept of vacuuming them first but because the cleaning process is wet i think it not much of an issue most of the time, and very impractical for 3-4000 lps and 4-500 45s (and maybe 130 10"ers) i can't afford a fancy automatic record vacuumer, and doing it quickly with a regular vacuum cleaner is way too risky.
	1:34am coelacanth∅: Whosondephone i agree! simple, energy efficient and easy to store.
	1:35am Tome: yea I understan wholeheartedly I'm a thinking now maybe there's some vacuum attachments for records even !<>!
	1:35am Mike Sin: Good convo about record cleaning here!
	1:35am rw: How do you spell that?
	1:36am rw: Actually never mind. Sorry.
	1:36am Tome: I admit to being an audio "snob": back in the day,,now ahh, it all sounds good sometime just listening to old radio even that gets hella great reception even , for that alone I'm glad )
	1:37am coelacanth∅: i was just wondering that! basically a really soft, lint-free, chemical-free brush. not sure my vacuum cleaner's strong enough though!
	1:38am coelacanth∅: yeah and i agree with those who don't mind the campfire effect! i guess depending on the music
	1:39am Tome: there was a lotgoing one when d4 was the thing ,, the brush that came with it even from what I recall,, then the "thing": was these record vacuum ,, hella expensive , when a bottle of d4 cost as much then as like 2 records ~~
	1:41am coelacanth∅: i got the discwasher kit (D4) for xmas when i was about 10. i've taken decent care of my records ever since.
	1:42am rw: Okay, I have a question... why is it that I don't remember records ever having surface noise or skipping on the radio back before digital, while my own LPs always had at least a few crackles and pops even when new.
	1:44am rw: Was it just that I wasn't paying close attention? Or was there some technology to reduce that stuff?
	1:45am Mike Sin: Were the old pro stations just keeping a "refreshed" library of periodically new LPs? They didn't have freaky Mike just bringing his records from home each week!
	1:47am Hubig Pie: Surface noise and super soul musics, I've landed at the right place
	1:47am Hubig Pie: And hello
	1:47am Mike Sin: Thanks for being here, Hubig Pie.
	1:47am rw: Hi Hu
	1:47am coelacanth∅: yeah i think commercial stations get replacements whenever they ask for them probably. and the inventory is infinitely smaller.
	1:48am coelacanth∅: hello Mr. Pie
	1:50am rw: 40 or so records in rotation, with one or two added and one or two removed every once in a while.
	1:51am Hubig Pie: Back atcha, C-lo, rw, Mike S.
	1:52am coelacanth∅: if we talk about wabc-am back in the day i think that's pretty accurate!
	1:55am Hubig Pie: Maybe used some reel to reel or had some filters for the unwanted noises?
	1:56am Hubig Pie: Far out
	1:58am Whosondephone: Is that the same talk over music that Fabio uses?
	1:58am wenzo toad (it/it’s): Comment comment
	2:00am rw: Ha! I remember carts from college radio. We didn't have songs on them though, just PSAs.
	2:00am coelacanth∅: Hubig yeah filters, limiters, eq settings... no doubt
	2:01am rw: Loved that Outsiders track!
	2:03am Ken From Hyde Park: When Mike said "cart," I envisioned a device on wheels that held a selection of records. Now I get that it's a cartridge, like an 8-track tape thingie.
	2:05am coelacanth∅: but there's both! fmu show hosts wheel carts up from the record library
	2:06am rw: KFHP, they look very much like 8-track tapes. I don't remember rewinding them either. Maybe they're loops. Been a while.
	2:07am Hubig Pie: Saw that movie long time ago. Think it was mostly about being mod 60's cinema. I should watch it again
	2:07am радомир: BLOW UP is A MASTERPIECE
	2:08am Joe B: booze?
	2:10am coelacanth∅: that outsiders track firmly reminded me of Bowie before
	2:10am Lee C: Hey Mike Sin! What a nice surprise! Just about to have some morning porridge here 😀
	2:11am Whosondephone: I know someone who doesn't like David Bowie.
	2:12am rw: Was talking about early Bowie earlier today. I gave my 20 yr old son my copy of The Man Who Sold the World. Not because I don't still like it, but because I thought he should have it while he's still 20 instead of waiting until I die.
	2:12am Mike Sin: Hi Lee C! Thanks for being here!
	2:12am Mike Sin: Joe B -- Ha! Blues not blooz!
	2:13am Whosondephone: He's also deaf in one ear. And only listens to the blooz.
	2:15am rw: One-eared blooz...
	2:15am coelacanth∅: a popular wfmu show host has disclosed a displeasure with David Bowie. and i'd bet there's more than just he! it happens!
	2:15am Mike Sin: So much Bowie touches my soul.
	2:17am Whosondephone: We want a Liver!
	2:18am rw: Whoa. Been having too much fun here. Haven't got much work done. I suppose that's a good thing!
	2:19am Whosondephone: Man... I thought I was being funny, but I'm kind of just being dark.
	2:20am rw: I appreciate humor with a good coating of dark.
	2:20am Mike Sin: rw -- If you're having fun, I'm doing my job!
	2:21am coelacanth∅: wow, speaking of... thinking about how a show host i really like doesn't like Bowie the next place my mind went to is radiohead. very devisive (sp?) it seems
	2:22am Hubig Pie: My fav Bowie is post Thin White Duke tryin to get his head straight in Berlin Bowie
	2:23am Joe B: I got rid of this album years ago for some reason. wish I hadn't!
	2:23am Joe B: they played i think roseland when OK was out, with Teenage fanclub opening
	2:24am Mike Sin: Joe B -- that album by Radiohead has really grown on me. It really got in my head.
	2:26am Whosondephone: It's really a riot. I used to work at this Hi end audio place know as Symposium Acoustics. My boss and I, two audiophiles, were forced to listen to blues and Greatfull Dead you tube rips by this half deaf man all day. He thought he had an undisputable taste in music.
	2:27am Whosondephone: I guess my boss didn't want to offend him because we needed the help.
	2:27am Joe B: @Mike - was lucky to go to a teenage fanclub session taping the next day - at electric lady studios! it was for cmj or something similar. and all of radiohead was right in the front row, totally into it!
	2:28am Mike Sin: Nice one, Whosondephone!
	2:29am Mike Sin: Joe B -- that is fabulous. That must have been great!
	2:29am coelacanth∅: Whosondephone it bothered me since you posted it that there's a song that sounds like "we a liver" but they're singing about living without interference, not about wanting a new organ! i just thought of it, and Mike probably is familiar: "sufferer" by the kingstonians
	2:31am Hubig Pie: Ok, thanks for the tunes and the chat. G'night all
	2:32am Joe B: Lord JOhn! they played my college radio station's fundraiser circa 1987
	2:32am rw: 'Night Hubig
	2:32am Mike Sin: coelacanth∅ -- that one will get a spin on my "ranking Full Stop" show over on the RocknSoul stream!
	2:33am Mike Sin: Take care, Hubig! Thanks!
	2:33am coelacanth∅: g'night Hubig
	2:33am rw: Joe B, they must have played that song.
	2:35am rw: How do you get a dog on a dolphin in the ocean? This song seems to go well with the GIF.
	2:35am Joe B: I can't recall. they were a big local draw for a while though
	2:37am coelacanth∅: these guys wearing their beatles like a scarf
	2:38am coelacanth∅: ( -not an insult. it's really good!)
	2:39am rw: Help! I'm a cop!
	2:39am garlic lover: Loving this track
	2:40am garlic lover: I too am a rock, on some level
	2:40am Mike Sin: Well all right, garlic lover!
	2:42am coelacanth∅: i too am a garlic lover, on some level! - eating raw garlic at this moment
	2:43am wenzo toad (it/it’s): Garlic is great
	2:43am Mike Sin: You don't have to tell me that twice, Wenzo!
	2:46am rw: Digging the swerve toward whatever it is we just swerved toward.
	2:52am Mike Sin: Just swervin' on and off the road, rw!
	2:52am Joe B: thanks Mike been a great show
	2:53am Mike Sin: Joe B -- Can't thank you enough for listening and commenting throughout the show!
	2:54am Whosondephone: Good morning everyone!
	2:56am rw: Morning Whosondephone!
	2:57am rw: Thanks again Mike Sin! Super. 'Night eveyone!
	2:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Mike! 'night y'all
	2:59am Whosondephone: Great show Mike Thanks!
	2:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mike. If there are leftover squirrel carcasses in the studio, I guess you are free to bring them home with you.
	3:01am coelacanth∅: this sound like the wrong speed
	3:09am Mike Sin: Thanks so much everybody -- you folks really made it fun tonight!

	12:47am Mike Sin: The clouds have groovy faces, RichWhig.
	12:48am AkVaxTheLich: DJs like you make me love this station more and more!!!
	12:48am Joe B: caught the moodys a couple times in the 80s - quite good!
	12:49am Franco Twinkie: Ken, I dragged that couch under a tree where I now run my consulting business out of the sun's nuclear glare.
	12:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Haha ... Good deal, Franco. Reduce, recycle, reuse and so on.

	12:54am rw: FT!! What up?
	12:54am Richy4619: Francoooo๏⌣๏☺
	12:55am Mike Sin: hello rw
	12:57am Ken From Hyde Park: I found some visuals for tonight, since rich isn't here. www.fineartamerica.com...
	12:57am rw: Hey Mike Sin. Thanks for filling in again! Optics are Sounding great.
	12:58am rw: Whoa. KFHP comes through once again.
	12:58am Franco Twinkie: RW, I spent two nights at my mom's house until Chresti had two negatives after getting on an aeroplane. She's in the kitchen right now making a bedtime potion, without any cooty bugs.
	1:00am Mike Sin: Good to hear, Franco.
	1:01am rw: Franco, that was nice of your mom to take you in for a few days. Glad everyone is positively negative!
	1:02am coelacanth∅: i second the praise of that picture Franco. aside from the main subject; the photography and attention to details is very impressive
	1:03am Franco Twinkie: My mom has left the room RW. Her house is now my retreat. I'm gonna lay in the dark now. Thanks Mike, I love this magical mix.
	1:04am coelacanth∅: i like that dresser too. it looks like cheap crap! but with some character. it's a shame it was given up on.
	1:05am rw: Ah. Sorry to hear that FT. I know the two of you were close.
	1:06am rw: Goodnight Franco!
	1:06am rw: Howdy coelacanth!
	1:06am Mike Sin: Thanks, Franco.
	1:07am Joe B: great Gene Clark track!
	1:07am Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Sorry for your loss Franco
	1:08am Mike Sin: Hey there coelacanth∅
	1:09am Mike Sin: Joe B -- "White Light" is his best, most cohesive album. Love it!
	1:14am coelacanth∅: 'evening rw!
	1:15am Tome: Great STuFF Mike Sin lovin' it !<>!
	1:17am Joe B: surface noise specials!
	1:17am rw: Love the campfire sounds.
	1:18am rw: D4... can you get that anymore? I have a few drops left from the '80s.
	1:18am coelacanth∅: spin-clean. $125 and i feel like an idiot for not buying it 30 years ago.
	1:21am Whosondephone: Been using dawn and a carbon brush. Been curious myself about a record cleaner.
	1:21am coelacanth∅: i still use the discwasher. the original, not the cheap imitation made after it was bought out. just with distilled water. if i had access to free photoflow i'd put a drop or 2 in it. but the spin clean is excellent.
	1:21am rw: Tell me more coelacanth. Most of my LPs are pretty clean but there are a few could use some work. Or should I just go ahead, order one and find out for myself?
	1:24am rw: I've heard good and bad about photoflo, but I feel like it must be more or less like D4 if diluted properly.
	1:24am coelacanth∅: rw it's basically a bin. put distilled water and a capful of their miracle fluid, the brushes and the rollers and spin the records manually. dry them with lint-free cloths before lining them up in a dish drainer.
	1:24am Mike Sin: Spon-clean, huh? Should take the plunge.
	1:24am Tome: vacuum the record(s) first or you're gonna embed the grit into the grooves with the ie... cleaning brush
	1:27am Tome: this one is really headphone candy now !<>! ooo the flashbacks <>
	1:28am coelacanth∅: rw i've never heard bad things about a drop of photoflo in a cup (or a pint?) of distilled water to recreate D4... but the distilled water does okay. zerostat sometimes makes a huge difference too..but sometimes nearly none.
	1:30am Whosondephone: Spin-clean does look nice! I like simplicity.
	1:32am Mike Sin: Thanks for joining in, Tome.
	1:32am Tome: fur shure thank you for the great sounds , this really making me wind down now crazy week!<>!
	1:32am coelacanth∅: Tome i understand the concept of vacuuming them first but because the cleaning process is wet i think it not much of an issue most of the time, and very impractical for 3-4000 lps and 4-500 45s (and maybe 130 10"ers) i can't afford a fancy automatic record vacuumer, and doing it quickly with a regular vacuum cleaner is way too risky.
	1:34am coelacanth∅: Whosondephone i agree! simple, energy efficient and easy to store.
	1:35am Tome: yea I understan wholeheartedly I'm a thinking now maybe there's some vacuum attachments for records even !<>!
	1:35am Mike Sin: Good convo about record cleaning here!
	1:35am rw: How do you spell that?
	1:36am rw: Actually never mind. Sorry.
	1:36am Tome: I admit to being an audio "snob": back in the day,,now ahh, it all sounds good sometime just listening to old radio even that gets hella great reception even , for that alone I'm glad )
	1:37am coelacanth∅: i was just wondering that! basically a really soft, lint-free, chemical-free brush. not sure my vacuum cleaner's strong enough though!
	1:38am coelacanth∅: yeah and i agree with those who don't mind the campfire effect! i guess depending on the music
	1:39am Tome: there was a lotgoing one when d4 was the thing ,, the brush that came with it even from what I recall,, then the "thing": was these record vacuum ,, hella expensive , when a bottle of d4 cost as much then as like 2 records ~~
	1:41am coelacanth∅: i got the discwasher kit (D4) for xmas when i was about 10. i've taken decent care of my records ever since.
	1:42am rw: Okay, I have a question... why is it that I don't remember records ever having surface noise or skipping on the radio back before digital, while my own LPs always had at least a few crackles and pops even when new.
	1:44am rw: Was it just that I wasn't paying close attention? Or was there some technology to reduce that stuff?
	1:45am Mike Sin: Were the old pro stations just keeping a "refreshed" library of periodically new LPs? They didn't have freaky Mike just bringing his records from home each week!
	1:47am Hubig Pie: Surface noise and super soul musics, I've landed at the right place
	1:47am Hubig Pie: And hello
	1:47am Mike Sin: Thanks for being here, Hubig Pie.
	1:47am rw: Hi Hu
	1:47am coelacanth∅: yeah i think commercial stations get replacements whenever they ask for them probably. and the inventory is infinitely smaller.
	1:48am coelacanth∅: hello Mr. Pie
	1:50am rw: 40 or so records in rotation, with one or two added and one or two removed every once in a while.
	1:51am Hubig Pie: Back atcha, C-lo, rw, Mike S.
	1:52am coelacanth∅: if we talk about wabc-am back in the day i think that's pretty accurate!
	1:55am Hubig Pie: Maybe used some reel to reel or had some filters for the unwanted noises?
	1:56am Hubig Pie: Far out
	1:58am Whosondephone: Is that the same talk over music that Fabio uses?
	1:58am wenzo toad (it/it’s): Comment comment
	2:00am rw: Ha! I remember carts from college radio. We didn't have songs on them though, just PSAs.
	2:00am coelacanth∅: Hubig yeah filters, limiters, eq settings... no doubt
	2:01am rw: Loved that Outsiders track!
	2:03am Ken From Hyde Park: When Mike said "cart," I envisioned a device on wheels that held a selection of records. Now I get that it's a cartridge, like an 8-track tape thingie.
	2:05am coelacanth∅: but there's both! fmu show hosts wheel carts up from the record library
	2:06am rw: KFHP, they look very much like 8-track tapes. I don't remember rewinding them either. Maybe they're loops. Been a while.
	2:07am Hubig Pie: Saw that movie long time ago. Think it was mostly about being mod 60's cinema. I should watch it again
	2:07am радомир: BLOW UP is A MASTERPIECE
	2:08am Joe B: booze?
	2:10am coelacanth∅: that outsiders track firmly reminded me of Bowie before
	2:10am Lee C: Hey Mike Sin! What a nice surprise! Just about to have some morning porridge here 😀
	2:11am Whosondephone: I know someone who doesn't like David Bowie.
	2:12am rw: Was talking about early Bowie earlier today. I gave my 20 yr old son my copy of The Man Who Sold the World. Not because I don't still like it, but because I thought he should have it while he's still 20 instead of waiting until I die.
	2:12am Mike Sin: Hi Lee C! Thanks for being here!
	2:12am Mike Sin: Joe B -- Ha! Blues not blooz!
	2:13am Whosondephone: He's also deaf in one ear. And only listens to the blooz.
	2:15am rw: One-eared blooz...
	2:15am coelacanth∅: a popular wfmu show host has disclosed a displeasure with David Bowie. and i'd bet there's more than just he! it happens!
	2:15am Mike Sin: So much Bowie touches my soul.
	2:17am Whosondephone: We want a Liver!
	2:18am rw: Whoa. Been having too much fun here. Haven't got much work done. I suppose that's a good thing!
	2:19am Whosondephone: Man... I thought I was being funny, but I'm kind of just being dark.
	2:20am rw: I appreciate humor with a good coating of dark.
	2:20am Mike Sin: rw -- If you're having fun, I'm doing my job!
	2:21am coelacanth∅: wow, speaking of... thinking about how a show host i really like doesn't like Bowie the next place my mind went to is radiohead. very devisive (sp?) it seems
	2:22am Hubig Pie: My fav Bowie is post Thin White Duke tryin to get his head straight in Berlin Bowie
	2:23am Joe B: I got rid of this album years ago for some reason. wish I hadn't!
	2:23am Joe B: they played i think roseland when OK was out, with Teenage fanclub opening
	2:24am Mike Sin: Joe B -- that album by Radiohead has really grown on me. It really got in my head.
	2:26am Whosondephone: It's really a riot. I used to work at this Hi end audio place know as Symposium Acoustics. My boss and I, two audiophiles, were forced to listen to blues and Greatfull Dead you tube rips by this half deaf man all day. He thought he had an undisputable taste in music.
	2:27am Whosondephone: I guess my boss didn't want to offend him because we needed the help.
	2:27am Joe B: @Mike - was lucky to go to a teenage fanclub session taping the next day - at electric lady studios! it was for cmj or something similar. and all of radiohead was right in the front row, totally into it!
	2:28am Mike Sin: Nice one, Whosondephone!
	2:29am Mike Sin: Joe B -- that is fabulous. That must have been great!
	2:29am coelacanth∅: Whosondephone it bothered me since you posted it that there's a song that sounds like "we a liver" but they're singing about living without interference, not about wanting a new organ! i just thought of it, and Mike probably is familiar: "sufferer" by the kingstonians
	2:31am Hubig Pie: Ok, thanks for the tunes and the chat. G'night all
	2:32am Joe B: Lord JOhn! they played my college radio station's fundraiser circa 1987
	2:32am rw: 'Night Hubig
	2:32am Mike Sin: coelacanth∅ -- that one will get a spin on my "ranking Full Stop" show over on the RocknSoul stream!
	2:33am Mike Sin: Take care, Hubig! Thanks!
	2:33am coelacanth∅: g'night Hubig
	2:33am rw: Joe B, they must have played that song.
	2:35am rw: How do you get a dog on a dolphin in the ocean? This song seems to go well with the GIF.
	2:35am Joe B: I can't recall. they were a big local draw for a while though
	2:37am coelacanth∅: these guys wearing their beatles like a scarf
	2:38am coelacanth∅: ( -not an insult. it's really good!)
	2:39am rw: Help! I'm a cop!
	2:39am garlic lover: Loving this track
	2:40am garlic lover: I too am a rock, on some level
	2:40am Mike Sin: Well all right, garlic lover!
	2:42am coelacanth∅: i too am a garlic lover, on some level! - eating raw garlic at this moment
	2:43am wenzo toad (it/it’s): Garlic is great
	2:43am Mike Sin: You don't have to tell me that twice, Wenzo!
	2:46am rw: Digging the swerve toward whatever it is we just swerved toward.
	2:52am Mike Sin: Just swervin' on and off the road, rw!
	2:52am Joe B: thanks Mike been a great show
	2:53am Mike Sin: Joe B -- Can't thank you enough for listening and commenting throughout the show!
	2:54am Whosondephone: Good morning everyone!
	2:56am rw: Morning Whosondephone!
	2:57am rw: Thanks again Mike Sin! Super. 'Night eveyone!
	2:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Mike! 'night y'all
	2:59am Whosondephone: Great show Mike Thanks!
	2:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mike. If there are leftover squirrel carcasses in the studio, I guess you are free to bring them home with you.
	3:01am coelacanth∅: this sound like the wrong speed
	3:09am Mike Sin: Thanks so much everybody -- you folks really made it fun tonight!
