	1:04pm Mr Fab: Hel-lo, irony-bread - lov-ing this Bill Walk-er mus-ic.
	1:04pm HyperDose: Good day, Taylor! Looking forward to sinking my ears into this sweet bread!
	1:05pm spodiodi: good morning, Taylor! hi, chresti!\\//, Jan, Mr Fab!
	1:05pm Jan Turkenburg: Hi Mr Fab!
	1:05pm Jan Turkenburg: spodiodi!
	1:05pm spodiodi: HyperDose too!
	1:05pm Jan Turkenburg: Hyperdose!
	1:05pm chresti: good morning spodi!\\//
	1:06pm WR: You say lee-ver. I say leh-ver. Let's call the whole thing off.
	1:07pm ironybread: Hi Fab! Hi Hy! Hi spodi! Hi WR!
	1:07pm ironybread: This record came from the bins of Pasadena's own Poobah Records
	1:08pm chresti: Yay Poobah!
	1:09pm chresti: From the dollar box outside?
	1:12pm ironybread: From the "Wha?" box inside. I always go straight to the bins in any store that say "Other" or some similar adjective
	1:12pm spodiodi: WR, care for a Marlboro?
	1:13pm chresti: Misc.
	1:16pm HyperDose: Hey Jan and spodi Hola, chresti
	1:17pm ironybread: Could be Ken Nordine in this Miller High Life ad...?
	1:17pm ironybread: #TheChampagneOfBottleBeer
	1:17pm chresti: HyperD!
	1:18pm WR: So far only the HFC jingle is one I know.
	1:18pm chresti: Chunken velvet beer?
	1:18pm Mr Fab: I used to hit the "easy-listening" section of what was my local used record store in the '80s/early '90s - that's where they dumped the weird old stuff, usually priced for 99 cents: Esquivel, Moogs, cha-cha, whistling records. Not sure how "easy" it was to listen to these, haha - was cool to throw 'em in with the Butthole Surfers, Public Enemy, what ever else I was buying.
	1:19pm ironybread: So it turns out this is a bit too easy to loop as "Taste the flavor of the maaaaaaaaaan"
	1:19pm Mr Fab: that may have been Ken Nordine, but speaking in a more high-pitched voice than usual.
	1:19pm spodiodi: haha
	1:20pm chresti: Ha
	1:20pm WR: Rat Choppettes?
	1:20pm spodiodi: mmmm... pure meat
	1:21pm WR: The singers needed to give more emphasis to the h on Rath.
	1:22pm chresti: Want your meat frozen, breaded, or meat coffee?
	1:22pm spodiodi: i'll take a rat cutlet, please
	1:24pm Sem: Hello, iBread, FPB lovers on the bus, and familiar avatars. And s'podi'!
	1:24pm ironybread: Bassoon burger with mice, side of Chevy coffee
	1:24pm ironybread: Hi Sem!
	1:25pm Mr Fab: this album is GOLDEN, ironybread. And I see you posted it on your blog, score!
	1:25pm WR: Great info on the back cover.
	1:26pm spodiodi: S'em! this is good stuff
	1:26pm HyperDose: I feel like we're on course for show that'll be entirely composed of audio from shareholders meetings and junkyard ambience. Gonna be a doozy.
	1:27pm WR: Wed Howard the narrator?
	1:29pm Zipperhead7: Bill Walker: unrecognized compositional genius. This is U.S. classical music -- tap your toe and sell, sell sell! I was gonna write a book on Top-40, but when I interviewed deejays from the 50s and 60s, they were essentially car salesman who didn't give a damn about the music -- they actually enjoyed being told what to play.
	1:29pm Sem: Settling in for a good listen, s'pod.
	1:29pm HyperDose: Pfizer eggs...do they work? Asking for a friend.
	1:30pm WR: There it was, Web Howard credited himself.
	1:31pm chresti: Ooh sell bread with music sounds good.
	1:32pm Rich in Washington: Hellos!
	1:33pm ironybread: If any of you listeners are interested in becoming a shareholder of Fuji Puzzle Box, it's easy! Just go outside and stare at the sun for 60 seconds, our drones will come by and photograph you & sample your DNA, from which we will extract the number of your best credit card.
	1:33pm chresti: My dad's first job in California was selling used cars, he'd bring home all kinds of cars
	1:34pm Rich in Washington: 1968 is such a great year for peculiar records.
	1:34pm ironybread: Hi Zip! Iiiiiiinteresting about DJs from the 50s and 60s, secretly I think I suspected that was who they really were all this time
	1:35pm ironybread: Hi Rich! Yes the Industry definitely gave the kids the car keys in 1967-1969
	1:37pm fred: Big party downstairs so I can't hear much of the show (well, mixed with outside music). Right now they're having a fashion show for kids. Many countries represented, which is fun. Ya Rayah now, so I'm guessing Algeria
	1:37pm ironybread: Hiya fred!
	1:37pm Zipperhead7: Never heard a wah-wahed music box before. Yeah, I focused on the Todd Storz and Gordon McLendon stations. They were sales machines. Storz even had guidelines for his ad salesmen -- for example, pants should not extend more than two inches above the ankle.
	1:38pm Mr Fab: makes sense. The DJ's job was to announce, be funny and engaging, prepare comedy bits, sound fx, etc. Which I also like - I like to think that we have plenty of DJs here who combine both the AM and FM approaches.
	1:40pm spodiodi: dave's not here
	1:40pm ironybread: Zip - I discovered the concept of the wah-wah music box in my early teens when I took the music box I'd had since I was six, the one that played a theme from Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet", and washed it. After that, the rotary dial never failed to wah-wah it
	1:40pm fred: @Mr Fab: so Clay Pigeon is a throwback style DJ?
	1:43pm Mr Fab: yes, Fred, I guess he is. Didn't Ken say that he needs to get others to pick his music?
	1:45pm ironybread: Based on how impossible it is for me to program a good show every week with just two hours of decent music, it would be 100% impossible for me to program a three-hour daily show five days a week
	1:46pm fred: @Mr Fab: Then again, Ken did ask help from listener for his infamous Toxic show, so... (that also proved we enjoyed the abuse, I did submit one)
	1:47pm ironybread: Nic Harcourt was accused of being a bit of a milquetoast when he hosted KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic from 1998-2008 but I realize now he was lucky to be able to get just a small portion of the music he actually liked on the show
	1:49pm fred: They just announced a karaoke hour starting in ten minutes. Could be interesting/terrible
	1:54pm Mr Fab: maybe you can record it, fred!
	1:55pm fred: I thought about that, but I don't have the equipment
	2:00pm HyperDose: Amazon can't drop off a shotgun mic via drone?
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: greetings ironybread and puzzlepeople
	2:05pm ironybread: Hi coel!
	2:06pm ironybread: Thanks to Rich for hipping me to this album
	2:06pm fred: @HyperDose: I only use amazon when I get a gift card at work that's only valid there (and then complain about it)
	2:08pm Mr Fab: this is quite "On The Corner," which makes me happy indeed.
	2:08pm spodiodi: greetings, coelacanthØ! good policy, fred
	2:09pm fred: Anyway, the main bass amp is like 2 feet from my window, so a phone would be enough
	2:13pm fred: @spodiodi: I did order a couple of books, but only because my regular bookshop wouldn't order them. I'm afraid Columbia University Press joined their blacklist, I'll try another bookshop before fueling Bezos' rockets
	2:18pm spodiodi: fred, good deal. Bozos' rockets can get stuffed with something else
	2:18pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi!
	2:21pm spodiodi: i have a stack of various gift cards from over the years collecting dust (and i don't even know where they are. that'll show somebody! :-B)
	2:25pm spodiodi: crank that
	2:29pm Zipperhead7: Bonnier truly articulates the source of human angst: "Tell me why?"
	2:31pm Mr Fab: i usually use gift cards...except for The Olive Garden. Anyone want 'em? Take your mom out for microwaved pasta!
	2:31pm fred: So far karaoke has been North Africa tunes I don't know. My neighbor is a dabke fan, I might have to go downstairs
	2:31pm ironybread: That sounds like a reasonable action, fred
	2:35pm Mr Fab: wish my local bars offered North African karaoke. I think the closest they come is Dave Matthews Band.
	2:36pm Kat in Chicago: Back from coffee and errands and such, greetings all
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: the thing about scamazon gift cards is that they/it/he already has the money; so by not using them they/he/it just gets MORE money
	2:36pm ironybread: Hi Kat!
	2:36pm HyperDose: Kat with the caffeine jolt! ⚡
	2:37pm spodiodi: hi Kat!
	2:38pm chresti: The bar on this block has what I think is Taiwanese karaoke
	2:40pm HyperDose: Best belated birthday party set ever
	2:41pm ironybread: #EvenIfIHaveToScreamAndShout
	2:41pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah North African karaoke sounds cool. Always happy to hear Prince tho
	2:42pm ironybread: "Live in Syracuse" just dropped as vinyl and a download, haven't listened to it yet
	2:44pm Rich in Washington: For years I've been giving my parents Amazon cards as gifts (as apparently my siblings were also doing) and eventually my mother sheepishly informed me that they didn't know how to redeem them. So one day while visiting I helped them enter what turned out to be several hundred dollars worth of gift card credit. They were soon awash in all kinds of luxurious junk from China, etc.
	2:44pm Mr Fab: rejected Prince song titles: I Would Die 2 S I Would Die 3 T I Would Die 5 V I Would Die 6 W I Would Die 7 X I Would Die 8 Y I Would Die 9 Z
	2:44pm ironybread: I Would Die 4 a Roman Cipher
	2:45pm Zipperhead7: Yep, the whole point to gift cards is that they'll hopefully be lost or forgotten. Or that the chosen gift will cost more than the card (or less, and the merchant keeps the difference). Jesus, I really need to change my attitude today. The cynicism is corroding my soul. Peace, love and soul power, everyone!
	2:46pm ironybread: @Rich - ha, that story is what David O'Doherty would call a "Goooooooooogle"
	2:46pm Kat in Chicago: I never saw Prince live and I deeply regret that.
	2:47pm Rich in Washington: I am a relative latecomer to the majesty of Prince and I regret it.
	2:47pm HyperDose: @Rich That's all I've found Amazon to be. Use them for supplements and toiletries. More for convenience since I don't drive.
	2:49pm Kat in Chicago: At least we have recording like this
	2:49pm Kat in Chicago: *recordings
	2:49pm spodiodi: one of my friends saw him on a tour in philly -- i think in 1984. so jealous (the one where began the show in a bathtub)
	2:49pm Zipperhead7: Kat, he had some of the best shows I've ever seen. i saw him about seven times. Fortunately, there's a wealth of shows on YouTube. Here's a good starting point: www.youtube.com...
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: I bought some groovy party disco lights for my DJ/radio setup from Amazon from a gift card from... <drum roll...> my mom.
	2:50pm spodiodi: ... he couldn't stop talking about it at the time
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: I remember right after Bowie died, I thought 'Prince is it now. He's the last real rock star (and I mean that in a good way) left'. And then he left.
	2:51pm Kat in Chicago: You have a rad setup, I’ve seen the pictures
	2:52pm HyperDose: I think the real hidden gem of the internet is ex-DJ's selling their CD collection for a penny a pop on ebay. Aside from jewel case imperfections (which can be replaced), the booklets and discs are usually mint/near mint. Found some deluxe editions with bonus DVDs that way too.
	2:52pm Rich in Washington: It's gonna get RADDER when I get a new bigger desk and can finally reorganize it for quaint little details such as ERGONOMICs and COMFORT.
	2:53pm spodiodi: did he begin the show or was it for Darling Nikki... i really don't know
	2:54pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh this is good
	2:54pm Zipperhead7: Thanks for the upbeat closing set, Taylor. Feeling much better!!!
	2:55pm Rich in Washington: Crammed Discs is such an awesome label.
	2:56pm Mr Fab: NEW Congotronics?! Yes!
	2:57pm HyperDose: Crammed discs are a side effect from hours of intense crate digging I imagine?
	2:57pm Mr Fab: I saw Konono no1 rock the Santa Monica Pier few years back. So good, i'd be happy with Konono no2 or 3, if such aggregations exist.
	2:58pm spodiodi: i agree with Zipperhead7! -- thanks, Taylor! hope you have a great day, everyone.
	2:58pm Kat in Chicago: My DJ setup is all digital so it fits on half of a desk I made during lockdown out of a sheet of plywood (painted pink and slathered in glitter and Varathane) on hairpin legs. My sewing machine takes up the other half. #hobbies
	2:58pm chresti: Ergomaniac chairs are essential
	2:58pm HyperDose: Back atcha, spodi! Thanks, Taylor! :D
	2:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, ironybread!
	2:59pm Mr Fab: Yep, great set to get me wired up for, well Wired Up! in a couple minutes. Mucho grassy-ass, Taylor!
	2:59pm ironybread: Thanks for listening all. Bop 'til ya stop!
	2:59pm chresti: Thanks ironybread!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: My setup started out as a laptop, one portable CD player, and one automatic turntable and over the ensuing decade and a half grown into the bloated glory it is now.
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Taylor! Groovy show today!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Taylor!
	3:01pm chresti: bloated glory is also essential
	3:02pm coelacanth∅: <sweet album art. looks like my work (but probably better)

	2:13pm fred: @spodiodi: I did order a couple of books, but only because my regular bookshop wouldn't order them. I'm afraid Columbia University Press joined their blacklist, I'll try another bookshop before fueling Bezos' rockets
	2:18pm spodiodi: fred, good deal. Bozos' rockets can get stuffed with something else
	2:18pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi!
	2:21pm spodiodi: i have a stack of various gift cards from over the years collecting dust (and i don't even know where they are. that'll show somebody! :-B)
	2:25pm spodiodi: crank that
	2:29pm Zipperhead7: Bonnier truly articulates the source of human angst: "Tell me why?"
	2:31pm Mr Fab: i usually use gift cards...except for The Olive Garden. Anyone want 'em? Take your mom out for microwaved pasta!
	2:31pm fred: So far karaoke has been North Africa tunes I don't know. My neighbor is a dabke fan, I might have to go downstairs
	2:31pm ironybread: That sounds like a reasonable action, fred
	2:35pm Mr Fab: wish my local bars offered North African karaoke. I think the closest they come is Dave Matthews Band.
	2:36pm Kat in Chicago: Back from coffee and errands and such, greetings all
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: the thing about scamazon gift cards is that they/it/he already has the money; so by not using them they/he/it just gets MORE money
	2:36pm ironybread: Hi Kat!
	2:36pm HyperDose: Kat with the caffeine jolt! ⚡
	2:37pm spodiodi: hi Kat!
	2:38pm chresti: The bar on this block has what I think is Taiwanese karaoke
	2:40pm HyperDose: Best belated birthday party set ever
	2:41pm ironybread: #EvenIfIHaveToScreamAndShout
	2:41pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah North African karaoke sounds cool. Always happy to hear Prince tho
	2:42pm ironybread: "Live in Syracuse" just dropped as vinyl and a download, haven't listened to it yet
	2:44pm Rich in Washington: For years I've been giving my parents Amazon cards as gifts (as apparently my siblings were also doing) and eventually my mother sheepishly informed me that they didn't know how to redeem them. So one day while visiting I helped them enter what turned out to be several hundred dollars worth of gift card credit. They were soon awash in all kinds of luxurious junk from China, etc.
	2:44pm Mr Fab: rejected Prince song titles: I Would Die 2 S I Would Die 3 T I Would Die 5 V I Would Die 6 W I Would Die 7 X I Would Die 8 Y I Would Die 9 Z
	2:44pm ironybread: I Would Die 4 a Roman Cipher
	2:45pm Zipperhead7: Yep, the whole point to gift cards is that they'll hopefully be lost or forgotten. Or that the chosen gift will cost more than the card (or less, and the merchant keeps the difference). Jesus, I really need to change my attitude today. The cynicism is corroding my soul. Peace, love and soul power, everyone!
	2:46pm ironybread: @Rich - ha, that story is what David O'Doherty would call a "Goooooooooogle"
	2:46pm Kat in Chicago: I never saw Prince live and I deeply regret that.
	2:47pm Rich in Washington: I am a relative latecomer to the majesty of Prince and I regret it.
	2:47pm HyperDose: @Rich That's all I've found Amazon to be. Use them for supplements and toiletries. More for convenience since I don't drive.
	2:49pm Kat in Chicago: At least we have recording like this
	2:49pm Kat in Chicago: *recordings
	2:49pm spodiodi: one of my friends saw him on a tour in philly -- i think in 1984. so jealous (the one where began the show in a bathtub)
	2:49pm Zipperhead7: Kat, he had some of the best shows I've ever seen. i saw him about seven times. Fortunately, there's a wealth of shows on YouTube. Here's a good starting point: www.youtube.com...
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: I bought some groovy party disco lights for my DJ/radio setup from Amazon from a gift card from... <drum roll...> my mom.
	2:50pm spodiodi: ... he couldn't stop talking about it at the time
	2:51pm Rich in Washington: I remember right after Bowie died, I thought 'Prince is it now. He's the last real rock star (and I mean that in a good way) left'. And then he left.
	2:51pm Kat in Chicago: You have a rad setup, I’ve seen the pictures
	2:52pm HyperDose: I think the real hidden gem of the internet is ex-DJ's selling their CD collection for a penny a pop on ebay. Aside from jewel case imperfections (which can be replaced), the booklets and discs are usually mint/near mint. Found some deluxe editions with bonus DVDs that way too.
	2:52pm Rich in Washington: It's gonna get RADDER when I get a new bigger desk and can finally reorganize it for quaint little details such as ERGONOMICs and COMFORT.
	2:53pm spodiodi: did he begin the show or was it for Darling Nikki... i really don't know
	2:54pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh this is good
	2:54pm Zipperhead7: Thanks for the upbeat closing set, Taylor. Feeling much better!!!
	2:55pm Rich in Washington: Crammed Discs is such an awesome label.
	2:56pm Mr Fab: NEW Congotronics?! Yes!
	2:57pm HyperDose: Crammed discs are a side effect from hours of intense crate digging I imagine?
	2:57pm Mr Fab: I saw Konono no1 rock the Santa Monica Pier few years back. So good, i'd be happy with Konono no2 or 3, if such aggregations exist.
	2:58pm spodiodi: i agree with Zipperhead7! -- thanks, Taylor! hope you have a great day, everyone.
	2:58pm Kat in Chicago: My DJ setup is all digital so it fits on half of a desk I made during lockdown out of a sheet of plywood (painted pink and slathered in glitter and Varathane) on hairpin legs. My sewing machine takes up the other half. #hobbies
	2:58pm chresti: Ergomaniac chairs are essential
	2:58pm HyperDose: Back atcha, spodi! Thanks, Taylor! :D
	2:58pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks, ironybread!
	2:59pm Mr Fab: Yep, great set to get me wired up for, well Wired Up! in a couple minutes. Mucho grassy-ass, Taylor!
	2:59pm ironybread: Thanks for listening all. Bop 'til ya stop!
	2:59pm chresti: Thanks ironybread!
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: My setup started out as a laptop, one portable CD player, and one automatic turntable and over the ensuing decade and a half grown into the bloated glory it is now.
	3:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Taylor! Groovy show today!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Taylor!
	3:01pm chresti: bloated glory is also essential
	3:02pm coelacanth∅: <sweet album art. looks like my work (but probably better)
