	7:41pm Krys O.: Hidey-ho, everyone!
	👻 7:42pm MarkTime: Hulloh!
	7:42pm Krys O.: Hey, MarkTime!
	👻 7:44pm MarkTime: Hi! Took extra work, but I'm hearing the stream now. Also working on the next MarkTime zine
	7:47pm Krys O.: DJ Shangri-La's dance party has been a blast.
	👻 7:57pm Austin Rich: Good Hello. I'm feeling the solitude. Bring it on!
	8:00pm Franco Twinkie: For just a moment, I'm going to pretend that woman smoking alone in a restaurant is you Krys - and there's a human head in that covered basket.
	8:02pm Krys O.: Indeed, Franco! Hey, Austin! We're all alone together.
	8:02pm Kat in Chicago: I wear a small heart shaped pin that says "SOLITUDE" on my favorite jacket.
	8:02pm chresti: I used to do that in cafeterias, smoke and drink coffee. Hi Krys!
	👻 8:02pm MarkTime: I'm reminded of my wife Nancy's first solo restaurant meal, which was only this past November during our New Orleans trip
	8:03pm Krys O.: Kat! chresti! xxxooo
	8:04pm Scott67: G'day Krys & Listeners in Solitude! 🍻😎🤙👣🎶📻🌏❤️
	8:04pm Franco Twinkie: I didn't see Chresti for two weeks. I spent a lot of that time asleep.
	8:04pm Krys O.: Scott, welcome!
	8:04pm Kat in Chicago: Her first, Mark? Wow. I used to be self-conscious about eating alone, but now I love it. Hi all y'all
	8:04pm Pauly from Clifton: Hiya, Krys, folks!
	8:05pm Krys O.: I used to go to my favorite Thai restaurant alone until one of the waitresses started saying, "Alone again?" I wanted to answer, "Naturally.", but I don't believe she knew that song.
	👻 8:06pm MarkTime: Kat: Apparently she always went to restaurants with family or friends. I had to go to New Orleans airport to collect my sister, so nancy took advantage with a walk to a brunch spot on Magazine St.
	8:06pm Krys O.: Hi, Pauly!
	8:06pm Feldy: Hi Krys!
	8:06pm Kat in Chicago: Even when you can't get a table and have to sit at the bar, that can be fun
	8:07pm Krys O.: Cheers, Feldy!
	8:07pm HyperDose: Krys O!!!
	8:07pm Aitch: Hey Krys O and crew
	8:08pm Krys O.: HyperDose, Aitch!
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: Photo Finish! Just completed getting my show ready... with just under an hour to spare! That's a little too close for comfort.
	👻 8:08pm MarkTime: Kat: Eating at the bar is a curious experience ... brings together several people who are along (though not lonely)
	8:08pm Krys O.: BTW-the entire ifyoubelievein album by Bryan MacLean is gorgeous, especially his version of Orange Skies.
	8:09pm Krys O.: Austin, that adrenaline sometimes feels good.
	8:09pm Franco Twinkie: I met Bryan Maclean one night in front of the Whisky a Go Go. He was a really nice guy. He talked to me and my girlfriend for a long time.
	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: Perhaps? Too many photo-finishes lately. Sigh. But your show sounds great!
	8:10pm Kat in Chicago: This is lovely
	8:10pm Krys O.: That's sweet, Franco. His little sister, Maria McKee always shared fond remembrances.
	8:12pm Krys O.: Thanks kindly, Austin.
	8:12pm chresti: I spent a good part of my teens in coffee shops and cafeterias.
	8:14pm Krys O.: We would eat at the counter at Woolworth's. There also was an old fashioned ice cream parlor where we'd meet after school. Sitting on those classic spinning stools was a treat.
	👻 8:14pm MarkTime: Today I am mostly listening along while catching up on the backlog of travel reports for my zine series. Eek, I'm only up to the Egypt adventures in March. Wow, good Grace Jones tune!
	8:14pm Kat in Chicago: I miss Woolworths
	8:15pm Krys O.: Grace Jones can do no wrong.
	👻 8:15pm MarkTime: Krys: I do miss Woolworths. A record store in New Orleans is in a former Woolworths and kept most of the lunch counter area intact
	8:15pm Franco Twinkie: I spent a good part of my teens alone at the library. It was a sanctuary then, but it became a lifelong habit.
	8:17pm Kat in Chicago: I walked past a former Woolworths on Lincoln Avenue this past Sunday. It's lofts/condos now. Boo.
	👻 8:18pm Mr Fab: That's cool, MarkTime - there's a new restaurant/bar in Hollywood that used to be a recording studio, and they kept one room intact.
	8:18pm Krys O.: @Franco, I started going to the library very early. It helped that it was around the corner from our apartment. Later on in high school, my best friend worked in the children's library and I would visit her there. One of my sisters was a teacher and a school librarian. They dedicated a mural at the children's public library to her memory after she passed away.
	👻 8:18pm MarkTime: Kat: the one at Lincoln/Fullerton/Halsted? Is the Seminary restaurant still there or was that condo'd too?
	8:20pm Kat in Chicago: Mark: Actually further up Lincoln. Seminary is long gone. Was a McDonald's for a while, ugh! Not sure about now because I hardly ever find myself in that area anymore.
	8:20pm Krys O.: At least the old Woolworth's in Bloomfield is now a dollar store. The condos and luxury apartments are encroaching though.
	8:21pm Franco Twinkie: That's wonderful Krys, to be remembered in a library mural is beyond special. We should all be so lucky when we trip on to the otherside.
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: This Cecil Gant song is amazing.
	👻 8:22pm MarkTime: Mr. Fab: I just looked up the address on the record label of this song ... wouldn't it be funny if that happened to be the restaurant? Not, but 500 N, Western is now a Buddhist temple
	👻 8:22pm Mr Fab: I like how the label describes him: The G.I. Sing-Sation.
	8:22pm Kat in Chicago: HARVEY
	8:22pm Krys O.: Right, Mr. Fab.
	👻 8:23pm MarkTime: Awww, cool cat
	8:23pm Krys O.: Harvey is kneading my lap as I speak. Ouch!
	8:23pm Feldy: Love this theme, Krys
	8:24pm Krys O.: Thanks, Feldy. It's on my mind as a single person a lot.
	👻 8:25pm Austin Rich: It's interesting how, even as a married person, you can find yourself alone quite often.
	8:26pm W Trenton Vinny: rad mental health PSA, thank you
	8:26pm Krys O.: Oh, I know that feeling too, Austin. I wasn't married, but my ex and I were together for 24 years.
	8:27pm Krys O.: My pleasure, W Trenton Vinny. Hail and hearty hello!
	👻 8:27pm Mr Fab: proto-Tiny Tim!
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: Even while in love, even with the person you adore... you are not with them all the time. Just finding things to do can lead to radio shows.
	👻 8:27pm MarkTime: Pre-Jiminy Cricket
	8:28pm Franco Twinkie: Although Chresti and I endured the pandemic alone together in our house with a yard, having my social life curtailed made be absolutely nuts.
	8:28pm Krys O.: Absolutely. Tiny Tim was an aficionado of such music.
	👻 8:28pm Austin Rich: Tiny Tim was almost a musicologist.
	8:31pm Krys O.: Tiny Tim would have a blast on the Uncle Floyd Show because Floyd and the rest of the cast were also musical experts. I recall Tim sang with Michael Townshend Wright who himself was/is an incredible singer of the old tunes.
	8:31pm Krys O.: I got to know some of the Floyd cast as my ex was a guest on the show about 8 or 9 times.
	8:31pm Kat in Chicago: Ohhh I used to play this 45 over and over. This and "New Life."
	8:32pm Krys O.: Same here, Kat. I still dance to it.
	👻 8:32pm Austin Rich: As a younger person, by the time I got to see Depeche Mode, they didn't sound like this anymore. It was a little disheartening; I wasn't the fun synths! Instead they were super-mopey and played guitars. It was still good, but... the keyboards!
	8:32pm Aitch: I got in trouble in high school for liking Speak and Spell. Wasn't very rawk was it?
	👻 8:33pm Mr Fab: Love this period of DM. yeah, they got real mopey. Which somehow translated into superstardom. Kids are funny, eh?
	8:33pm Aitch: Was different when Vince left, lost a lot of pop
	8:33pm Krys O.: No guilt allowed when it comes to music, Aitch. I liked Enjoy the Silence a lot. Martin Gore is a brilliant songwriter.
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: Vince Clarke-era Depeche Mode does NOT get the love it deserves in most quarters.
	👻 8:34pm Austin Rich: It does here!
	8:34pm Krys O.: Andy Fletcher passed away recently. :(
	👻 8:35pm Austin Rich: Depeche Mode was the second (?) or third show I saw by myself. The first I saw by myself was absolutely fIREHOSE / Butthole Surfers.
	8:35pm Krys O.: What a double bill!
	👻 8:36pm Mr Fab: Darryl plays a "Singing Actor of the Week" on his "World's Worst Records" show, but that Karen Black was quite shockingly not bad. Not bad at all.
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: Butthole Surfers were still doing the medical films projected over dancers, a real wild show. Compared to the Robert Palmer show my mom took me too, this was... wild.
	8:37pm Krys O.: I recently re-watched Burnt Offerings and Karen Black was still terrific. It's a brutal film in many ways.
	👻 8:37pm Mr Fab: pretty sure I caught that fIREHOSE / Butthole Surfers tour, Austin. With Frightwig, too? I saw the Butthole Surfers more times than any sane man should.
	8:38pm Feldy: I've always toggled between wanting to be alone and with people. I love me some solitude.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: Can't remember Frightwig, but there might have been different local openers. I only remember asking show fIREHOSE was, and realized I had missed out on a LOT of cool Watt stuff.
	8:39pm Kat in Chicago: I like being with people alone, if that makes sense.
	8:39pm Krys O.: I never saw the Butthole Surfers live, but I did get to meet Kathleen Lynch who was the 'naked dancer.' She is brilliant and a great person.
	8:39pm Franco Twinkie: Five Easy Pieces and Cisco Pike are two of my favorite movies, that coincidentally star Karen Black.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: I find a lot of people really difficult. But certain groups I can get into. And certainly music and radio folks are a little easier to get along with.
	👻 8:40pm Austin Rich: Five Easy Pieces is AMAZING.
	8:40pm Aitch: Working from a home office is the best.
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: I think the Surfers sort of lost their as the years went on. But I contend those early albums are UNBEATABLE, and just really killer modern day psyche.
	8:41pm Krys O.: Come Back to the 5 and Dime, Jimmy Dean needs a rewatch.
	8:41pm Franco Twinkie: I like to roll the dice and just kind of run into people. It works sometimes, but often not.
	8:41pm Aitch: It was tooo sad Krys O. Delusional
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: I realize this is not everyone's problem, but if there's a crowd, I sort of start trying to entertain people with stories and jokes. It's fun... but a real drain. I often don't do crowds unless I'm in the mood. But I do wish I had more friends, locally. Most people I know are all online.
	8:43pm Aitch: Had that horrid vibe like Requium For a Dream
	8:45pm Krys O.: Oh, thanks for the warning, Aitch. I get sensitive to some things on film like dying animals, for example. Can't take it. I feel extremely lucky to know a lot of different cool folks, but I'm comfortable on my own. That might have to do with being a 'caboose baby.' Youngest of five with a great age difference. The closest one in age to me is my brother who is seven years older. I was a latchkey kid too. Got dinner started after school before mom came home from work.
	👻 8:45pm Austin Rich: I listened to a great podcast series about The Rat Pack. "You Must Remember This," hosted by Corina Longworth. I really enjoy her style of storytelling, and the show is great if you love old movies.
	8:46pm Franco Twinkie: Tell me about it Austin. I'm very outgoing which makes me suspect to many people. Plus, I'm always the loudest person in any social gathering, so there's that.
	8:47pm Krys O.: Thanks for the tip, Austin. I'm a Rat Pack fan. I could go on about my insecurities with crowds and parties, but let's not go down that road.
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: I was the oldest of 11 between the two marriages, and all of us were born within 6 years of each other. I was the oldest by a long stretch, so I was also the defacto babysitter. I basically raised 10 kids before I even moved out on my own.
	8:49pm Franco Twinkie: Speaking of social gatherings, I'm going to Taco Tuesday at The Lost Parrot in South Pasadena. Even if it turns out to be a wash socially, there's always tacos.
	8:50pm Kat in Chicago: Tacos!
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: <turns head> Tacos? Well, I guess I could try to stop by...
	8:50pm Aitch: Youngest of 5, but 6 up to next one like Krys O. Got to listen to their stuff. You try harder as the young one to keep up, get away with stuff too, no one's looking
	8:50pm Krys O.: Interesting, Austin. My oldest sister just turned 75. She was out of the house by the time I was in kindergarten. My second oldest sister did help to raise me. She always wanted to be a teacher and I was her experiment. The other sibs were teenage hippies who I tagged along with to head shops and such as a tot.
	8:50pm Franco Twinkie: Come Austin!
	8:51pm Kat in Chicago: I'm surrounded by taquerias but I still perk up for tacos
	👻 8:51pm Austin Rich: Tacos are worth is. Pretty much all the time.
	8:51pm Krys O.: It's hard to find good fish tacos near me.
	8:52pm Kat in Chicago: Fish tacos might be my favorite
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: I feel like the search for good food is endless. Sure, I know where to get some okay thai food. But... is there more, other options to be found?
	8:53pm Franco Twinkie: I'm meeting Bruce Litz, who was the art director for The Firesign Theater. Bruce and I are the nutty old men at The Parrot.
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: I love Firesign! That's very cool.
	8:54pm Krys O.: Nice, Franco. I was raised on Firesign Theater records.
	8:54pm Franco Twinkie: Bait Austin, bait.
	👻 8:56pm MarkTime: How did I miss this version before? I usually like Chris Isaac's version, even being a Neil Diamond fan
	8:56pm Franco Twinkie: I love this song.
	8:56pm Pomme d'Or: Great show Krys O Thanks!
	8:56pm Krys O.: Thanks to you all for listening! Take care and see you soon!
	👻 8:57pm Austin Rich: Those Cash covers are almost better than all the originals. (Especially that Nine Inch Nails song. Cash now owns that one.)
	8:57pm Krys O.: Merci, Pomme d'Or!
	8:57pm Kat in Chicago: Such a good show
	8:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Krys. I feel less alone now.
	8:57pm Scott67: Thanks Krys, a perfect Show to follow me outing myself as a introverted & troubled mind in Shangri's Show. Thanks you mate! ✌️😎🤙❤️🌻🌏
	👻 8:58pm MarkTime: Thanks Krys nice show
	8:58pm Krys O.: Love you all!
	8:58pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	8:58pm HyperDose: You rock, Krys!
	👻 9:00pm Mr Fab: Wonderful show, Krys!
	9:01pm HyperDose: Obsessed with that Beach Boys chord progression
	9:02pm Krys O.: This way to Mid-Valley Mutations: wfmu.org...
	👻 7:10pm WR: Loving this episode! Thank you!

	8:31pm Krys O.: Tiny Tim would have a blast on the Uncle Floyd Show because Floyd and the rest of the cast were also musical experts. I recall Tim sang with Michael Townshend Wright who himself was/is an incredible singer of the old tunes.
	8:31pm Krys O.: I got to know some of the Floyd cast as my ex was a guest on the show about 8 or 9 times.
	8:31pm Kat in Chicago: Ohhh I used to play this 45 over and over. This and "New Life."
	8:32pm Krys O.: Same here, Kat. I still dance to it.
	👻 8:32pm Austin Rich: As a younger person, by the time I got to see Depeche Mode, they didn't sound like this anymore. It was a little disheartening; I wasn't the fun synths! Instead they were super-mopey and played guitars. It was still good, but... the keyboards!
	8:32pm Aitch: I got in trouble in high school for liking Speak and Spell. Wasn't very rawk was it?
	👻 8:33pm Mr Fab: Love this period of DM. yeah, they got real mopey. Which somehow translated into superstardom. Kids are funny, eh?
	8:33pm Aitch: Was different when Vince left, lost a lot of pop
	8:33pm Krys O.: No guilt allowed when it comes to music, Aitch. I liked Enjoy the Silence a lot. Martin Gore is a brilliant songwriter.
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: Vince Clarke-era Depeche Mode does NOT get the love it deserves in most quarters.
	👻 8:34pm Austin Rich: It does here!
	8:34pm Krys O.: Andy Fletcher passed away recently. :(
	👻 8:35pm Austin Rich: Depeche Mode was the second (?) or third show I saw by myself. The first I saw by myself was absolutely fIREHOSE / Butthole Surfers.
	8:35pm Krys O.: What a double bill!
	👻 8:36pm Mr Fab: Darryl plays a "Singing Actor of the Week" on his "World's Worst Records" show, but that Karen Black was quite shockingly not bad. Not bad at all.
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: Butthole Surfers were still doing the medical films projected over dancers, a real wild show. Compared to the Robert Palmer show my mom took me too, this was... wild.
	8:37pm Krys O.: I recently re-watched Burnt Offerings and Karen Black was still terrific. It's a brutal film in many ways.
	👻 8:37pm Mr Fab: pretty sure I caught that fIREHOSE / Butthole Surfers tour, Austin. With Frightwig, too? I saw the Butthole Surfers more times than any sane man should.
	8:38pm Feldy: I've always toggled between wanting to be alone and with people. I love me some solitude.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: Can't remember Frightwig, but there might have been different local openers. I only remember asking show fIREHOSE was, and realized I had missed out on a LOT of cool Watt stuff.
	8:39pm Kat in Chicago: I like being with people alone, if that makes sense.
	8:39pm Krys O.: I never saw the Butthole Surfers live, but I did get to meet Kathleen Lynch who was the 'naked dancer.' She is brilliant and a great person.
	8:39pm Franco Twinkie: Five Easy Pieces and Cisco Pike are two of my favorite movies, that coincidentally star Karen Black.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: I find a lot of people really difficult. But certain groups I can get into. And certainly music and radio folks are a little easier to get along with.
	👻 8:40pm Austin Rich: Five Easy Pieces is AMAZING.
	8:40pm Aitch: Working from a home office is the best.
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: I think the Surfers sort of lost their as the years went on. But I contend those early albums are UNBEATABLE, and just really killer modern day psyche.
	8:41pm Krys O.: Come Back to the 5 and Dime, Jimmy Dean needs a rewatch.
	8:41pm Franco Twinkie: I like to roll the dice and just kind of run into people. It works sometimes, but often not.
	8:41pm Aitch: It was tooo sad Krys O. Delusional
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: I realize this is not everyone's problem, but if there's a crowd, I sort of start trying to entertain people with stories and jokes. It's fun... but a real drain. I often don't do crowds unless I'm in the mood. But I do wish I had more friends, locally. Most people I know are all online.
	8:43pm Aitch: Had that horrid vibe like Requium For a Dream
	8:45pm Krys O.: Oh, thanks for the warning, Aitch. I get sensitive to some things on film like dying animals, for example. Can't take it. I feel extremely lucky to know a lot of different cool folks, but I'm comfortable on my own. That might have to do with being a 'caboose baby.' Youngest of five with a great age difference. The closest one in age to me is my brother who is seven years older. I was a latchkey kid too. Got dinner started after school before mom came home from work.
	👻 8:45pm Austin Rich: I listened to a great podcast series about The Rat Pack. "You Must Remember This," hosted by Corina Longworth. I really enjoy her style of storytelling, and the show is great if you love old movies.
	8:46pm Franco Twinkie: Tell me about it Austin. I'm very outgoing which makes me suspect to many people. Plus, I'm always the loudest person in any social gathering, so there's that.
	8:47pm Krys O.: Thanks for the tip, Austin. I'm a Rat Pack fan. I could go on about my insecurities with crowds and parties, but let's not go down that road.
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: I was the oldest of 11 between the two marriages, and all of us were born within 6 years of each other. I was the oldest by a long stretch, so I was also the defacto babysitter. I basically raised 10 kids before I even moved out on my own.
	8:49pm Franco Twinkie: Speaking of social gatherings, I'm going to Taco Tuesday at The Lost Parrot in South Pasadena. Even if it turns out to be a wash socially, there's always tacos.
	8:50pm Kat in Chicago: Tacos!
	👻 8:50pm Austin Rich: <turns head> Tacos? Well, I guess I could try to stop by...
	8:50pm Aitch: Youngest of 5, but 6 up to next one like Krys O. Got to listen to their stuff. You try harder as the young one to keep up, get away with stuff too, no one's looking
	8:50pm Krys O.: Interesting, Austin. My oldest sister just turned 75. She was out of the house by the time I was in kindergarten. My second oldest sister did help to raise me. She always wanted to be a teacher and I was her experiment. The other sibs were teenage hippies who I tagged along with to head shops and such as a tot.
	8:50pm Franco Twinkie: Come Austin!
	8:51pm Kat in Chicago: I'm surrounded by taquerias but I still perk up for tacos
	👻 8:51pm Austin Rich: Tacos are worth is. Pretty much all the time.
	8:51pm Krys O.: It's hard to find good fish tacos near me.
	8:52pm Kat in Chicago: Fish tacos might be my favorite
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: I feel like the search for good food is endless. Sure, I know where to get some okay thai food. But... is there more, other options to be found?
	8:53pm Franco Twinkie: I'm meeting Bruce Litz, who was the art director for The Firesign Theater. Bruce and I are the nutty old men at The Parrot.
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: I love Firesign! That's very cool.
	8:54pm Krys O.: Nice, Franco. I was raised on Firesign Theater records.
	8:54pm Franco Twinkie: Bait Austin, bait.
	👻 8:56pm MarkTime: How did I miss this version before? I usually like Chris Isaac's version, even being a Neil Diamond fan
	8:56pm Franco Twinkie: I love this song.
	8:56pm Pomme d'Or: Great show Krys O Thanks!
	8:56pm Krys O.: Thanks to you all for listening! Take care and see you soon!
	👻 8:57pm Austin Rich: Those Cash covers are almost better than all the originals. (Especially that Nine Inch Nails song. Cash now owns that one.)
	8:57pm Krys O.: Merci, Pomme d'Or!
	8:57pm Kat in Chicago: Such a good show
	8:57pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Krys. I feel less alone now.
	8:57pm Scott67: Thanks Krys, a perfect Show to follow me outing myself as a introverted & troubled mind in Shangri's Show. Thanks you mate! ✌️😎🤙❤️🌻🌏
	👻 8:58pm MarkTime: Thanks Krys nice show
	8:58pm Krys O.: Love you all!
	8:58pm chresti: Thanks Krys!
	8:58pm HyperDose: You rock, Krys!
	👻 9:00pm Mr Fab: Wonderful show, Krys!
	9:01pm HyperDose: Obsessed with that Beach Boys chord progression
	9:02pm Krys O.: This way to Mid-Valley Mutations: wfmu.org...
	👻 7:10pm WR: Loving this episode! Thank you!
