	🥁 10:04pm MOM WHIG: hi chresti
	10:06pm chresti: Hi MOM WHIG!
	🥁 10:07pm Discotech Underground: It's a BEAUTIFUL night in Michigan! I have the windows open and a very nice cool breeze is drifting through the house!
	🥁 10:08pm MOM WHIG: Kip - similar here finally.....sorry A/C is on here - they are working on the service road tonite across from me
	10:08pm HyperDose: And Kip's is open for business again. Hey gang! 😎💨🍺
	🥁 10:08pm Discotech Underground: Hyperdose!
	🥁 10:09pm Discotech Underground: Mom-I am SO tired of air conditioning. I want natural air again!
	🥁 10:11pm MOM WHIG: Hi again hyper Kip - I agree - but sometimes it's still needed.
	🥁 10:13pm Discotech Underground: Mom-Of course, and I'd hate to be completely without it, but it gets old quick. I end up sitting around in sweat pants because it's so frigid.
	10:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! ...so - the one Program on FMU actually called 'Disco' might be the one I'm actually safest from Disco with ?? ...obviously there were Discotechs before 'Disco'...
	🥁 10:15pm Aitch: And there I was in my Sylvester Kaftan
	🥁 10:15pm Discotech Underground: Revolution Rabbit Nov63-This is a "disco"free zone so welcome! You are safe here and among friends.
	10:18pm Kevin in Doomsville: All good here, Kip. Cool temps. Road trip to MI next week ahead of return to campus for fall semester.
	🥁 10:18pm MOM WHIG: hi there RRNov63
	10:19pm chresti: Is there a band called Sledgehammer?
	🥁 10:19pm Discotech Underground: Kevin-Nice! Where in Michigan?
	10:19pm neveract: did you fill-in elsewhere today Kip?
	🥁 10:20pm Discotech Underground: neveract-I did my normal show from 5-7. I filled in on Monday for Global Grease.
	10:20pm Kevin in Doomsville: Just over IN border. Niles, Benton Harbor. Got a cabin in Sawyer for a couple of nights.
	10:21pm neveract: got it.. just wondering if I missed anything. Caught GG fill-in :-)
	🥁 10:21pm Discotech Underground: That's my part of the state. I live about 35 miles away from Niles. Have fun! Lake Michigan rocks...no salt, no sharks!
	10:22pm Kevin in Doomsville: Sweet. Perhaps I'll look you up next time I'm in shark-free waters!
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always wondered what else Focus did besides HocusPocus ! (A great track.)
	🥁 10:23pm Discotech Underground: Kevin-Do it! I'll be gone next week, unfortunately, but if you're around another time...!
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo MumWhig !
	🥁 10:24pm Discotech Underground: Revolution Rabbit Nov63-They did a LOT more great stuff other than just that track.
	10:24pm Kevin in Doomsville: On! Gotta check out Buchanan for obvious reasons ;)
	10:32pm HyperDose: Hey I'm losing my mind ova hea!
	🥁 10:33pm Discotech Underground: Is that a good thing, Hyperdose?
	10:33pm chresti: 7:25 pdt, in San Gabriel,CA, 84◦F⋅⋅
	🥁 10:34pm Discotech Underground: 10:33 in SW Michigan, 65 degrees...not a spec of humidity!
	10:34pm chresti: *except it's 7:34
	🥁 10:35pm MOM WHIG: chresti - sounds nice there Kip - 76 here at 10:34 in DC-VA
	10:36pm chresti: It felt like a hot oven earlier
	🥁 10:38pm MOM WHIG: chresti -= we had the first 3 days here at high 90's & very humid
	🥁 10:38pm Discotech Underground: We went through a very hot and humid spell here recently. It was pretty miserable so the coolness we have now is welcome relief.
	10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never used AC ...It's 10℉ higher in here than I'd wish - but 5℉ less than actually immobilizing for me. & by now - that's a great relief.
	10:43pm drowsy: Doctor downtrip is epic!
	🥁 10:43pm Discotech Underground: Drowsy-The whole album is great! I've played other tracks from it on other shows.
	10:45pm Kevin in Doomsville: another gorgeous segue Kip!
	10:46pm drowsy: Wow, I got distinct Death Grips shock when I saw the Bronco album cover. But I don't smell burnt toast or have dizziness, so I'm good.
	10:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just saw a post on fb from a page for someone writing a NickDrake biography - account of the Hendrix poster he had on his dorm door...
	🥁 10:46pm MOM WHIG: Kip nice relaxing tune thanks
	🥁 10:49pm Discotech Underground: Mom-Nick Drake music is very soothing.
	🥁 10:49pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, Kevin!
	10:51pm HyperDose: What I love about Kip's show is that he really helps me "get" artists. Didn't get Hendrix until I heard him in another capacity covering Van Morrison's Gloria. Hazey Jane is the first Nick Drake track I really enjoyed.
	🥁 10:52pm Discotech Underground: Always happy to help bridge the gaps, Hyperdose! Sometimes you just need the right song at the right time for something to make sense.
	🥁 10:53pm Discotech Underground: Honestly, the best Nick Drake primer is the US album with the yellow cover that picks up the best tracks from his first two albums. They did a Record Store Day reprint of it just a couple of years back so it should be available fairly easily.
	10:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Raised on Hendrix. Yeah frustrating people only know a few Hits - but that's how the culture goes. Dealt with that specifically in his short life in fact. NickDrake I actually feared - because I knew he was sublime & most excellent - but he succumbed to his depression. & I can actually drown in such waters. There's only like four albums & the addendums as it turns out anyhow...
	10:58pm northguineahills: not to be confused w/ the Tampa post-rock band of the 90s-00s, Home.
	🥁 10:58pm Discotech Underground: I remember reading a lengthy article about Drake in Spin magazine in the mid 1980's around the time the Fruit Tree box set was released. It was very intriguing but I never got around to actually exploring his music until many years later. I am glad I finally dod.
	🥁 10:59pm Discotech Underground: northguineahills-There was actually a band from Michigan called "Home" as well who did a single called "Time Traveler". I used to work with the drummer.
	10:59pm bigplanetnoise: Kip! You’re a machine!
	🥁 10:59pm Discotech Underground: The Michigan "Home" was from the middle 1970's, a bit after the UK band playing now.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: greetings Kip and subterraneans
	🥁 11:00pm MOM WHIG: Kip - gotta run for tonite. Thanks for this GREAT Fill-In. Always appreciate all you do for us.
	🥁 11:01pm Discotech Underground: Grandbob! I'm running on Mojito power tonight! Thanks, Mom! Have a great night! Hey coelacanth!
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if that was Ian MacDonald's essential essay on Drake 'Exiled From Heaven' : pdfslide.net...
	🥁 11:01pm MOM WHIG: Sorry to run - but have been on FMU since 5pm today. Resting my weary EYES
	🥁 11:02pm Discotech Underground: No worries, sleep well, Mom!
	11:03pm JR HTX: Alright, catching the second half. See ya Mom.
	🥁 11:03pm Discotech Underground: JR! Welcome, welcome!
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Night MumWhig !
	11:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & there's the Drake doc 'A Skin Too Few' : vimeo.com...
	🥁 11:05pm Discotech Underground: Revolution Rabbit-I have that documentary and the "Remembered For A While" book.
	🥁 11:07pm Discotech Underground: The one time I saw Zappa live in concert he did an amazing guitar solo during this song! I remember catching myself staring with my mouth hanging open, I was just that awestruck by it.
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - love to read that ! Wouldn't I ? Oh yeah - the gittar alone. The cynicism can drive me away - then the humor & just plain musicianship being me back. His bands & works were like nothing else, really.
	🥁 11:10pm Discotech Underground: This was also my "gateway" album into the world of Zappa. Supposedly that's Gail Zappa doing the shrieks and groans on this track.
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Mahavishnu Orchestra on acid & laughing gas ...no use describing it. There's a good YouTube of a 'Classical guy' watching the Mothers for the first time. Color him impressed...
	🥁 11:12pm Discotech Underground: Revolution Rabbit-Mahavishnu actually did a tour with the 74 band...the one with Ruth, George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock and the Fowler brothers.
	11:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yerknow - Ruth was amazing. That alone...
	🥁 11:13pm Discotech Underground: There are a number of "reaction" videos on You Tube of people hearing Zappa for the first time, often "Inca Roads" is the chosen track.
	11:13pm northguineahills: for some reason, this is putting me in a maggot brain headspace....(it's a good comfy space).
	🥁 11:14pm Discotech Underground: One thing people have said that is distressing about this song is they can't tell if the the screams and groans are of pain or pleasure....
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yup ! It was IncaRoads. ngh - good comparison !
	🥁 11:15pm Discotech Underground: Inca Roads is in my top five all time FZ favorites.
	11:15pm northguineahills: @discotech: potato potahto....
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull - it's about S&M. That's the point. How you feel about that is a legit question... LouReed just exposed those worlds. No judgements - whereas Frank makes fun of everyone it seems...
	🥁 11:16pm Discotech Underground: northguineahills-why not both?
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anytime someone takes on a Beatles & doesn't shame themselves I feel they should get some cred.
	🥁 11:20pm Discotech Underground: I think Catfish Hodge does a good job with this because they don't just copy it verbatim, they actually work with it and make it into something else.
	11:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoyed it.
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Kipster! I saw that Zappa band(Zoot Allures) on New Years Eve 1975. I never saw him again.
	🥁 11:24pm Discotech Underground: Franco! I saw him fall of 1980, first tour with Steve Vai at Notre Dame University, the show where the events that inspired the song "Stevie's Spanking" allegedly took place! I never saw him again after that, much to my regret.
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: People exalt 'Shazam' all the time - I think I need to marinate in it more. Bob Brainen did a Move special recently - great.
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: You might say I was obsessed Kip, I think I saw The Mothers about ten times.
	🥁 11:26pm Discotech Underground: I don't love everything the Move did but I like quite a few of their things.
	11:26pm northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit:....oh, the album! ;p
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: i like the move okay but don't think they were exceptional at all. i like this song a lot.
	🥁 11:30pm Discotech Underground: I am not a big fan of the late 60's music hall revival sound on songs like "Blackberry Way". That sort of loping beat sounds monotonous after a while. I love songs like Fire Brigade, I Can Hear The Grass Grow and Walk Upon The Water, as well as much of "Shazam" and "Do Ya".
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - so many bands that stand out in other ways - TheMove seemed to be trying too hard or something. Bob explained that Management may have been @ fault - trying on too many images. But take that track for instance : fantastic vocal harmonies - great playing - song choice - interesting & well-executed arrangement ...the better stuff has those going on.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wfmu.org...
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Coel. I was thinking of you in a moment of self-persecution yesterday. I was thinking 'Now he knows what a nut I am!' I got over it and did the laundry.
	🥁 11:32pm Discotech Underground: Side two of "Shazam" is pretty great. Side one is a bit uneven for me.
	🥁 11:34pm Discotech Underground: It's not going to do itself, Franco!
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: Kip @1130 yes i think that's about it for me as well, though probably there're exceptions on both sides of that coin
	11:35pm Franco Twinkie: Strangely, wearing clean clothes makes me feel less insane.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: haha Franco! i already knew you were a nut!
	🥁 11:36pm Discotech Underground: Don't suffer from insanity, enjoy every moment of it!
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would not associate the name 'Wishbone Ash' with time signature exploration, somehow. Interesting.
	11:39pm northguineahills: @franco: "clean clothes". nope, not gonna fall for that one again! thanks kip, it's been a nice ride, will be out in 10!
	🥁 11:39pm Discotech Underground: Wishbone Ash is an interesting and underrated band. Some of the bass parts to some of their songs are a lot of fun to play.
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: i expect this to break into sabre dance any second!
	🥁 11:40pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, northgunieahills, for coming by the show tonight! Always great to see you here!
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Flipside ngh !
	11:45pm StringOFperils: Oh! One of my very favorite lps, Quiet Sun!!!!
	🥁 11:45pm Discotech Underground: Mine, too, SOP!
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: 'never heard this
	🥁 11:46pm Discotech Underground: Phil Manzanera!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: okay that makes sense! ...me never hearing it before makes NO sense!
	11:49pm StringOFperils: Eno! Charles Hayward (from This Heat) too....kind of a Soft Machine connection
	🥁 11:50pm Discotech Underground: SOP-Sort of an outlier in that they just did that one LP before Roxy Music.
	11:52pm northguineahills: this sounds tolkeinesque.....
	11:53pm StringOFperils: Heh, ngh. :) ...and now, back to the shire....
	🥁 11:54pm Discotech Underground: A considerable amount of early 70's British prog was very influenced by Tolkein type writing and imagery.
	11:54pm StringOFperils: But seriously, these guys were amazing...I always mix them up with Caravan
	11:54pm northguineahills: (sometimes i realize what a huge dork i am)
	🥁 11:55pm Discotech Underground: Camel and Caravan are very close together on the shelf, so...!
	11:56pm StringOFperils: I think I'll form a tribute band to both, and call it Caramel
	11:56pm HyperDose: Thank you very much, Kip!
	🥁 11:56pm Discotech Underground: Thanks for listening, Hyperdose!
	11:56pm chresti: Full moon rising!
	11:57pm chresti: Thanks Kip!
	🥁 11:57pm Discotech Underground: Thank you Chresti!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: i mix it up with zebra; and sometimes mandrill
	11:58pm northguineahills: nice one STringOfPerils...
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: SOp haha!
	11:59pm drowsy: Thank you Kip! Take care of your golden voice.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kip! tchau
	11:59pm StringOFperils: Wish I'd arrived earlier for the prog train. Oh well. Thanks!!
	11:59pm JR HTX: Thanks Kip, good night all!
	🥁 11:59pm Discotech Underground: THANK YOU EVERYONE! It was a pleasure having you here and I look forward to next time! Be safe and be well!

Discotech Underground with Kip Brown: Playlist from August 11, 2022

View Discotech Underground's profile

Discotech Underground is actually two...two...two shows in one!

The first half is a "Happy Hour" of sorts (because it's five o'clock somewhere, right?), spinning the kinds of sounds you might have heard at a real, authentic 1960's DISCOTECH as cool cats and swingin' chicks danced the night away in their mod threads and mini skirts to hard-driving sounds under the flashing lights! The only thing missing are the cage dancers...but we're working on it!

The second half is for when you head home after a wild night, and ease in with the heady, trippy, mind-expanding sounds of a groovy free-form UNDERGROUND rock radio station that digs deep into their library and blows your mind all over again!

	10:58pm northguineahills: not to be confused w/ the Tampa post-rock band of the 90s-00s, Home.
	🥁 10:58pm Discotech Underground: I remember reading a lengthy article about Drake in Spin magazine in the mid 1980's around the time the Fruit Tree box set was released. It was very intriguing but I never got around to actually exploring his music until many years later. I am glad I finally dod.
	🥁 10:59pm Discotech Underground: northguineahills-There was actually a band from Michigan called "Home" as well who did a single called "Time Traveler". I used to work with the drummer.
	10:59pm bigplanetnoise: Kip! You’re a machine!
	🥁 10:59pm Discotech Underground: The Michigan "Home" was from the middle 1970's, a bit after the UK band playing now.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: greetings Kip and subterraneans
	🥁 11:00pm MOM WHIG: Kip - gotta run for tonite. Thanks for this GREAT Fill-In. Always appreciate all you do for us.
	🥁 11:01pm Discotech Underground: Grandbob! I'm running on Mojito power tonight! Thanks, Mom! Have a great night! Hey coelacanth!
	11:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if that was Ian MacDonald's essential essay on Drake 'Exiled From Heaven' : pdfslide.net...
	🥁 11:01pm MOM WHIG: Sorry to run - but have been on FMU since 5pm today. Resting my weary EYES
	🥁 11:02pm Discotech Underground: No worries, sleep well, Mom!
	11:03pm JR HTX: Alright, catching the second half. See ya Mom.
	🥁 11:03pm Discotech Underground: JR! Welcome, welcome!
	11:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Night MumWhig !
	11:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & there's the Drake doc 'A Skin Too Few' : vimeo.com...
	🥁 11:05pm Discotech Underground: Revolution Rabbit-I have that documentary and the "Remembered For A While" book.
	🥁 11:07pm Discotech Underground: The one time I saw Zappa live in concert he did an amazing guitar solo during this song! I remember catching myself staring with my mouth hanging open, I was just that awestruck by it.
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - love to read that ! Wouldn't I ? Oh yeah - the gittar alone. The cynicism can drive me away - then the humor & just plain musicianship being me back. His bands & works were like nothing else, really.
	🥁 11:10pm Discotech Underground: This was also my "gateway" album into the world of Zappa. Supposedly that's Gail Zappa doing the shrieks and groans on this track.
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Mahavishnu Orchestra on acid & laughing gas ...no use describing it. There's a good YouTube of a 'Classical guy' watching the Mothers for the first time. Color him impressed...
	🥁 11:12pm Discotech Underground: Revolution Rabbit-Mahavishnu actually did a tour with the 74 band...the one with Ruth, George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock and the Fowler brothers.
	11:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yerknow - Ruth was amazing. That alone...
	🥁 11:13pm Discotech Underground: There are a number of "reaction" videos on You Tube of people hearing Zappa for the first time, often "Inca Roads" is the chosen track.
	11:13pm northguineahills: for some reason, this is putting me in a maggot brain headspace....(it's a good comfy space).
	🥁 11:14pm Discotech Underground: One thing people have said that is distressing about this song is they can't tell if the the screams and groans are of pain or pleasure....
	11:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yup ! It was IncaRoads. ngh - good comparison !
	🥁 11:15pm Discotech Underground: Inca Roads is in my top five all time FZ favorites.
	11:15pm northguineahills: @discotech: potato potahto....
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull - it's about S&M. That's the point. How you feel about that is a legit question... LouReed just exposed those worlds. No judgements - whereas Frank makes fun of everyone it seems...
	🥁 11:16pm Discotech Underground: northguineahills-why not both?
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anytime someone takes on a Beatles & doesn't shame themselves I feel they should get some cred.
	🥁 11:20pm Discotech Underground: I think Catfish Hodge does a good job with this because they don't just copy it verbatim, they actually work with it and make it into something else.
	11:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoyed it.
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: Kipster! I saw that Zappa band(Zoot Allures) on New Years Eve 1975. I never saw him again.
	🥁 11:24pm Discotech Underground: Franco! I saw him fall of 1980, first tour with Steve Vai at Notre Dame University, the show where the events that inspired the song "Stevie's Spanking" allegedly took place! I never saw him again after that, much to my regret.
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: People exalt 'Shazam' all the time - I think I need to marinate in it more. Bob Brainen did a Move special recently - great.
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: You might say I was obsessed Kip, I think I saw The Mothers about ten times.
	🥁 11:26pm Discotech Underground: I don't love everything the Move did but I like quite a few of their things.
	11:26pm northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit:....oh, the album! ;p
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: i like the move okay but don't think they were exceptional at all. i like this song a lot.
	🥁 11:30pm Discotech Underground: I am not a big fan of the late 60's music hall revival sound on songs like "Blackberry Way". That sort of loping beat sounds monotonous after a while. I love songs like Fire Brigade, I Can Hear The Grass Grow and Walk Upon The Water, as well as much of "Shazam" and "Do Ya".
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - so many bands that stand out in other ways - TheMove seemed to be trying too hard or something. Bob explained that Management may have been @ fault - trying on too many images. But take that track for instance : fantastic vocal harmonies - great playing - song choice - interesting & well-executed arrangement ...the better stuff has those going on.
	11:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wfmu.org...
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Coel. I was thinking of you in a moment of self-persecution yesterday. I was thinking 'Now he knows what a nut I am!' I got over it and did the laundry.
	🥁 11:32pm Discotech Underground: Side two of "Shazam" is pretty great. Side one is a bit uneven for me.
	🥁 11:34pm Discotech Underground: It's not going to do itself, Franco!
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: Kip @1130 yes i think that's about it for me as well, though probably there're exceptions on both sides of that coin
	11:35pm Franco Twinkie: Strangely, wearing clean clothes makes me feel less insane.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: haha Franco! i already knew you were a nut!
	🥁 11:36pm Discotech Underground: Don't suffer from insanity, enjoy every moment of it!
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would not associate the name 'Wishbone Ash' with time signature exploration, somehow. Interesting.
	11:39pm northguineahills: @franco: "clean clothes". nope, not gonna fall for that one again! thanks kip, it's been a nice ride, will be out in 10!
	🥁 11:39pm Discotech Underground: Wishbone Ash is an interesting and underrated band. Some of the bass parts to some of their songs are a lot of fun to play.
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: i expect this to break into sabre dance any second!
	🥁 11:40pm Discotech Underground: Thanks, northgunieahills, for coming by the show tonight! Always great to see you here!
	11:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Flipside ngh !
	11:45pm StringOFperils: Oh! One of my very favorite lps, Quiet Sun!!!!
	🥁 11:45pm Discotech Underground: Mine, too, SOP!
	11:45pm coelacanth∅: 'never heard this
	🥁 11:46pm Discotech Underground: Phil Manzanera!
	11:48pm coelacanth∅: okay that makes sense! ...me never hearing it before makes NO sense!
	11:49pm StringOFperils: Eno! Charles Hayward (from This Heat) too....kind of a Soft Machine connection
	🥁 11:50pm Discotech Underground: SOP-Sort of an outlier in that they just did that one LP before Roxy Music.
	11:52pm northguineahills: this sounds tolkeinesque.....
	11:53pm StringOFperils: Heh, ngh. :) ...and now, back to the shire....
	🥁 11:54pm Discotech Underground: A considerable amount of early 70's British prog was very influenced by Tolkein type writing and imagery.
	11:54pm StringOFperils: But seriously, these guys were amazing...I always mix them up with Caravan
	11:54pm northguineahills: (sometimes i realize what a huge dork i am)
	🥁 11:55pm Discotech Underground: Camel and Caravan are very close together on the shelf, so...!
	11:56pm StringOFperils: I think I'll form a tribute band to both, and call it Caramel
	11:56pm HyperDose: Thank you very much, Kip!
	🥁 11:56pm Discotech Underground: Thanks for listening, Hyperdose!
	11:56pm chresti: Full moon rising!
	11:57pm chresti: Thanks Kip!
	🥁 11:57pm Discotech Underground: Thank you Chresti!
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: i mix it up with zebra; and sometimes mandrill
	11:58pm northguineahills: nice one STringOfPerils...
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: SOp haha!
	11:59pm drowsy: Thank you Kip! Take care of your golden voice.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kip! tchau
	11:59pm StringOFperils: Wish I'd arrived earlier for the prog train. Oh well. Thanks!!
	11:59pm JR HTX: Thanks Kip, good night all!
	🥁 11:59pm Discotech Underground: THANK YOU EVERYONE! It was a pleasure having you here and I look forward to next time! Be safe and be well!
