Listener comments!
	9:01am luka: Rolnick Time
	9:02am Passaic River Blues: ROLLIN'
	👻 9:03am Handy Haversack: And we Rolnick on. Morning, JA. Wake up, J'All!
	9:03am The Butterman: The clean version ( not dirty)
	9:04am Mike W.: There’s my sound
	👻 9:04am karlward: Everly Brothers, always with the "your mom" jokes
	9:05am morphe': As always .. I draw the listeners' attention to the "critical review"/description/profile of JA in the Am at the top of the page...
	9:07am Krys O.: Hello. Just heard from my coworker's daughter that someone jumped in front of the PATH train at Hoboken station. Service suspended.
	👻 9:12am Handy Haversack: We have achieved an NRU. Recalibrating all instruments to the new scales. We thank those numbers, real and imaginary, whose services will no longer be needed.
	9:12am ben abs: Been a while since I heard this, sounds better than ever
	9:12am chresti: Got plans too
	9:14am Andy: Uh oh. It's that long winded free jazz stuff...
	9:16am chresti: Good morning, plans to make coffee, I have
	9:16am chresti: And yikes Krys O!
	9:16am clownpewter: When it comes to free jazz, I personally think the shorter the wind the better
	9:17am PuraVida: Good morning JA and everyone. I'm awake, i got the memo...
	9:18am John Allen: the 3rd Shorter brother, Wind
	👻 9:19am karlward: Never short sell free jazz
	👻 9:19am Handy Haversack: It's tantamount to outsider trading.
	9:21am John Allen: Karl 100%
	9:21am northguineahills: so, the free jazz wasn't gratis?
	👻 9:22am karlward: These jokes are for all the licensed free jazz traders out there, wearing those cool jackets on the trading floor, shouting things like BLOW (which means sell) and ITS HOT (buy, obv.), throwing papers up in the air, 1986, Dan Rather covering the whole thing
	9:23am clownpewter: I remember first testing out free jazz on a long car ride with my parents when I was a kid - I was like 20 minutes into Coltrane's Ascension with headphones on when my dad asked me why my face looked so uncomfortable. I have since thankfully come around on free jazz, my parents have not.
	9:24am Yes: mornin
	9:24am John Allen: on the backend, hidden fees, local taxes, jazz will always get paid for
	👻 9:25am karlward: True. But it was sad, that moment when the algorithmic traders took over the free jazz market with their flimsy arguments about "providing liquidity" and "broker's best price obligation."
	9:30am chresti: I like short blasts of wind.
	9:31am northguineahills: what is lost is the scale in which all of this free jazz commodities can be traded. A lower case pentatonic scale, is a great place for to realize their actuals in the short term.
	9:31am Andrew Waterloo: Exciting Times, everyone! I have a notice card from the post man.. very sure it is for my swag.
	9:32am jackjohn: I miss my Casio SK1
	9:32am Spence in Baltimore: As Milton Friedman said, there is no such thing as a free jazz
	👻 9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: Jazz does not want to be constrained. It wants to be free! Good morning!
	9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning ! ...good to hear the gooses & seals are having a happy Xmas...
	9:35am jackjohn: is there any potential here for quantitative easy listening?
	9:36am northguineahills: for the advanced trader, microtonal affixed to macrotonal scalars can be accommodated.
	👻 9:36am karlward: Or my favorite Friedman-on-jazz quote: "I am favor of freeing jazz under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible."
	👻 9:36am karlward: I 100% disagree with Friedman on everything else, but he had a solid take on what to do about the jazz.
	9:36am Passaic River Blues: Time to harvest the untapped dividends of an unreleased Tapscott album recorded in 1969 and set to come out on Mr. Bongo: mrbongo.bandcamp.com...
	9:37am northguineahills: I had a friend at a party try to hook the wrong battery voltage to my SK-1, it made some curious noises before succumbing to the dirge of silence.
	9:38am mb: Hola DJ JA and friends
	9:40am miles of middle texas: Hey y'all. JA , thanks
	9:41am John Allen: one day I'll tell you all about how I sold off Black Unity Trio, Nation Time, Abdul Al-Hannan, and Seikatsu Kōjyō Iinkai to purchase kitchen cabinetry
	9:41am northguineahills: @PRB: You might need Bo Anders Persson et al and ask for an International Harvester for your efforts...
	9:44am northguineahills: @JA: my story is less sexy, i sold off many of those titles you mentioned and more just to pay for living at a hotel last year.
	👻 9:46am karlward: That $1 sale, somebody made out like a bandit
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Not even the live Jeff Beck record???
	9:48am Alvy Singer: My first free jazz album was "Echo" from pianist Dave Burrell. Sunny Murray and Archie Shepp are on this record and it's totally schizophrenic.
	9:48am chresti: Was gonna say, karlward...
	9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Smooove...
	👻 9:49am Handy Haversack: Stop! Hammer time!
	9:49am Passaic River Blues: Someone needs to deliver to Montgomery Street Jan Hammer Group's "Live in New York" RIGHT NOW.
	9:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wouldn't it be funny if we found out that "hammer pants" originated with Jan Hammer? OK, maybe not.
	👻 9:50am karlward: First free jazz record was probably "Our Lady of Eternal Sunny Delights" by Free Radicals. But that was a gift. First free jazz I bought was probably Sam Rivers "Crystals."
	9:51am Andrew Waterloo: My record collection would feel very validated if I could sell a piece of it for something practical.
	9:51am John Allen: Alvy cant go wrong with a budget actuel starter pack
	9:52am John Allen: andrew feel free to send your don't want list
	9:55am holland oats: ron everett! 🙌
	9:59am northguineahills: I saw Sam Rivers in Orlando (one of the few great artists from Orlando) when I was 18. That show got me out of my indie rock/rave ghetto....
	9:59am Alvy Singer: @John Allen--Yeah, the BYG/Actuel roster is just staggering in it's depth. A pretty good place to start for those looking to enter the free jazz world.
	10:02am Andrew Waterloo: Actuel was a starting point for me.
	10:05am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The first free-ish jazz things I bought were a compilation that had Gato on it and also Corea/Altshul/Holland's A.R.C. Both had me wondering just what the heck was going on. Loved it. Still do!
	👻 10:06am karlward: The Wildflowers compilation is where I really fell into the free jazz pool, luckily there were some skateboarders down there who helped me out
	10:07am steveo: Good morning! Imagine this comment is full of incredibly intellectually stimulating things, mostly about jazz.
	👻 10:07am karlward: If it's not about jazz, it's still about jazz though
	👻 10:08am Handy Haversack: Wow, I really agree with what steveo said!
	10:08am steveo: Right on time for trombone time
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @karlward: Even if it's Britney Spears?
	👻 10:09am karlward: I would buy a Britney x Laraaji record, I would go to their shows, I would get a shitty van with a manual transmission and follow their tour around the country
	👻 10:12am karlward: I do not understand infinity bananas
	👻 10:13am karlward: Like I understand that drumming on some level, but not the conscious mind one
	10:14am steveo: i dunno seems infinitely bananas to me
	10:14am Andres: Good AM, JA and all. My kids eat so many bananas.
	👻 10:14am Jason from Houston: Hello in there, hello.
	10:17am northguineahills: I'm going back to buddy bolden's jass....
	10:18am Andrew Waterloo: Eucalyptus is lead by Brodie West. Recommend checking out his quintet.
	👻 10:22am Jason from Houston: Pre-filled.
	10:22am steveo: why not a jazz catheter? much more discreet
	👻 10:22am karlward: I too love the Minutemen
	👻 10:22am karlward: That was HANDY not me
	👻 10:23am Handy Haversack: You were gonna end up smelling of JAZZ pee sooner or later, karlward.
	10:23am Andres: Wouldn’t an accompanying music stand for coverage be required?
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...to bed musics - we add bedpans...
	👻 10:23am karlward: My vote is still for the JAZZ tarp.
	10:26am morphe': Last time in NYC, May, there was a tremendous traffic jam on Delancy/Essex all over... for the WillyBurg Bridge and FDR and ...Stopped on my bike at a red light and a worker in a worker truck was cool but frustrated... I said "I hope ya have a pee bottle.." He reached down an pulled up a WIDE opening liter sized Gatorade bottle and smiled ..
	10:26am John Allen: nice Karl. when you can't stop the tour bus
	10:27am Passaic River Blues: Oh man, that's terrible! Pretty sure I really got into "Camille" and the rest of this record a few years ago after hearing some Hemphill and Jenkins tracks on this very program.
	10:27am northguineahills: jazz bottle/trucker bottle/pee bottle in the hospital. Same idea. jazz tarp/slayer/gg allin/crash worship tarp, same motivating idea....
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I just like how 'Jazz catheter' scans...
	10:28am northguineahills: I had no idea about abdul wadud.
	10:28am Andrew Waterloo: for some reason I was associated jazz bottle with swear jar.
	10:31am Alvy Singer: Mike Watt wrote a song about his father called Piss Bottle Man. Something his pop kept handy in his vehicle.
	10:32am John Allen: HaHA, NGH I saw GG play in Bethlehem in 92, obvs towards the end and his was full on shit slinging into audience, and someone yelled out TARP
	10:35am morphe': I carry a pee bottle on buses to the Madrid Mountains and elsewhere... learned my lesson in Mexico where I had to use my one toothbrush ziplock bag for the urgency on a long distance/no toilet bus... needless to say, I did not rinse and reuse for the toothbrush
	10:37am Will from MD: Just got out of a Zoom meeting and this track is really helping me re-center after spending time in the endlessly frustrating digital ethereal horror that is Zoom.
	10:40am John Allen: thinking the jazz bottle premium might not be as useful for the ladies, so we'll see if we can sillscreen these to go with the bottle. Karl run the numbers bit.ly...
	10:42am Franco Twinkie: Hi John and leakers. What I do is just just open the passenger side door of my truck and pretend I'm looking for something, then pee in the gutter. Never been called on it.
	10:43am coelacanth∅: g'morning John and all
	10:45am coelacanth∅: hard blues twice in one week on fmu. sounds good to me.
	10:45am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Coel. I'll bet you've pissed in public more than a few times.
	10:46am Yes: This is great
	10:46am Passaic River Blues: SO GOOD
	10:46am coelacanth∅: Franco if i didn't get busted it didn't happen
	10:46am Alvy Singer: Abdul Wadud RIP.
	10:47am Franco Twinkie: Sage answer.
	10:48am roni: now that’s jazz! amazing!
	10:49am steveo: are there bass tubas? like an octave or 2 lower?
	10:49am morphe': When I visited Helsinki I was happily surprised when my female friend (and later her female friends) just stepped away, neatr a tree and just dropped the trousers and squatted and peed... My friend whose Granny grew up on the LES said her Granny told her that the girls would step between 2 cars, put one foot up on the bumper of one car and wee. shoes got a bit wet but better she said than the 4 flights and missing yer turn in the jump ropes..
	👻 10:49am karlward: Moog Sub Phatty is what you are looking for steveo
	10:50am John Allen: nice one Franco. Sometimes I just pretend I'm flipping thru the bins
	10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So much tuba bass of late.
	10:51am coelacanth∅: hahaha (JA) !
	10:52am steveo: that looks very cool, kw, but you wouldn't have to train as if for a marathon to play it
	10:53am dougseidel: Such a great Arthur Blythe record.
	10:56am coelacanth∅: that Women Urine Funnel Bottle Outdoor Travel Hiking Car Stand Up Pee for Ladies Portable Handle Woman Daily Urination Funnel Device ...looks like bullshit and there'd be pee everywhere.
	10:56am jt: Loving The Jazz Bottle today, John. You always play the stuff i need to hear, if i didn't know it .
	👻 10:57am Handy Haversack: coela, I don't think they ever explicitly state that there won't be pee everywhere.
	10:59am John Allen: coelacanth∅, but it's 80 cents. if we silkscreen WFMU onto the side, its a win/win from a purely marketing standpoint
	11:00am coelacanth∅: true,Handy. mybad. i'll carry moist towelettes when i travel with ladies.
	11:01am Franco Twinkie: My friends were walking around in Chinatown and one of the women really had to go. She ran into the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant, pulled her pants down and peed on the floor.
	11:02am coelacanth∅: John that's true too. i'd like to have one, and i'll donate more than 80¢ for it
	11:02am John Allen: Oh I've heard that one. It was because she knew she wouldn't be the one to get a violation in the kitchen...
	👻 11:03am karlward: John Allen: I checked with the supplier, the items already have WFMU silkscreened on them, "they came that way from the factory" he said, said he still had to charge us $0.20 extra per but Handy talked him down
	11:04am John Allen: from a giving standpoint, I think the female catheter / jazz bottle couldn't be received with more mixed emotion
	11:04am chresti: Seems like it would be hard to pull off drip free when your wearing tight pants, also it looks like hard plastic that cracks easily? @Women Urine Funnel Bottle Outdoor Travel Hiking Car Stand Up Pee for Ladies
	👻 11:04am Handy Haversack: I was innocently shopping for softball pants in a local sporting-goods emporium, and some useless kid and his useless yuppie dad came in, and the stupid kid dropped trou and peed in the store! It almost reached my browsing area! And the dad just scooped him up and ran! I was shocked to my core. Fortunately, there was a bar next door. karlward, I might have talked him too far down. I'm getting worried.
	11:04am roni: from an environmental perspective- getting some nuts or leaves or junk draw items and writing WFMU -works. btw- sure am enjoying today’s show.
	11:05am jt: Father to a son, " Best thing to have on picnic. "
	11:06am chresti: The cut and run method of potty training @Handy
	11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They say most people's #1 is actually sterile. It's the #2's may have any sort of bacteria or virus or anything in it...
	11:09am chresti: Danny Thomas liked to drink pee.
	👻 11:10am Handy Haversack: I did not know that.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: I pity the poor souls who have to gather up the soiled diapers at the end of the day from the various parking lots around the country.
	11:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ I Toast Ye All with that most splendid of diuretics - the DeathWishCoffeez ~
	11:11am John Allen: some crazy danny thomas stories for sure
	11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...G.G. Allin wrote to Danny from prison about that...
	11:14am Franco Twinkie: I only heard about the Chinese restaurant incident, but this I saw with my own eyes. You might even say I provoked it: A friend and I were camping. We were about to turn it and my friend said she really had to go but didn't want to walk all the way to the restroom. I suggested she just pee into the campfire. She just dropped her pants and stuck her ass into the fire and let it go with a big smile on her face. Boy did it smell!
	11:14am chresti: He kept jars of it in his fridge. You know, one of those crazy celebrity diets or something. I heard it from my ex who delivered dry cleaning for his grandparents in Hollywood, Hancock Park area.
	11:15am roni: pee your in for for a treat
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Supposedly there's some yogic practice you keep drinking it til it comes out clear? I'll remain in the imperfect state re that I guess...
	11:17am coelacanth∅: Madonna espoused the benefits of peeing on your feet.
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...surely I've missed a topic over breakfast...
	11:17am coelacanth∅: i have a book on the subject. some people consider it basically sterilized blood.
	👻 11:18am Jason from Houston: The Station Museum had a Cassils show a few years ago and they collected a whole lot of pee for an installation. 200 gallons. I helped out and kept the bottles in my fridge. stationmuseum.com...
	👻 11:21am Handy Haversack: Storage is definitely easier in cube form. That's just smart thinking, Jason. Someone tell the makers of Women Urine Funnel Bottle Outdoor Travel Hiking Car Stand Up Pee for Ladies!
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in yer salad with the cantaloupe '...
	11:21am John Allen: i think triple distilled is best
	11:21am coelacanth∅: i have long believed that piss smells much much worse when it's different people's piss mixed together. i have no proof though. ...i did, but it's gone.
	11:22am steveo: idk, 80,000 results for "tomato cantaloupe salad"
	11:24am steveo: why did the tomatoes get married in a church? because they cantaloupe
	11:25am eva: My husband bought me a “ladies pee funnel”. It’s horrible. Peace y’all.
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Any salad ya like with a chilled pee refresher ...this is Music, trust us...
	11:26am chresti: Then there was the goat urine injections craze in the mid 80s(?)..
	11:26am coelacanth∅: i'm thirsty, excuse me
	11:28am John Allen: Eva, to be fair to the concept, if one needs to resort to peeing in a bottle, there'll be risks going in regardless..
	11:28am Avrilinmay: loved that. miss Bethany
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ask your Doctor if Jazz Catheter is right for you...
	👻 11:29am Handy Haversack: Maybe we're looking at this all wrong. Maybe WFMU JAZZ pee goats have been staring us in the face all along.
	11:30am chresti: An empty yogurt tub works, or a wide mouth jar.
	👻 11:30am Handy Haversack: Avrilinmay: Bethany did a fill-in on the Drummer stream this week: wfmu.org...
	11:32am Avrilinmay: Hi handy! No way! completely missed it, shame . and thank you :))
	11:32am eva: True JA. Sadly, I couldn’t even write my name in the snow with it.
	11:33am steveo: also missed, thank you HH
	11:34am John Allen: Eva, the trick is move your shoulders. this also holds true with jazz tuba
	👻 11:35am Handy Haversack: I missed it too! But somehow remembered reminding myself not to miss it, which I guess is next best?
	11:36am coelacanth∅: THIS is jazz!
	11:37am eva: Lol!
	11:38am coelacanth∅: if you can't write your name in the snow there's really no point in pissing at all
	👻 11:38am Handy Haversack: That's why we save it all for winter in these handy WFMU JAZZ Jars!
	11:38am patrick321: Hey John and all
	11:39am coelacanth∅: no way Handy. i got a snow maker
	👻 11:39am Handy Haversack: You're living the dream, coela!
	👻 11:39am adampsyche: SUZIE!!
	👻 11:44am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Elvis, Mike, and Meredith!!
	11:45am Max: I am so tired of hearing about swag I swear if wfmu sells another t-shirt I'll die
	11:45am Franco Twinkie: The topic that never ends!
	11:46am chresti: A funnel with the jazz bottle!
	11:47am John Allen: now now max, it's the only way we can keep this place running. that and free labor
	11:47am Avrilinmay: @handy : it sure is
	👻 11:48am karlward: What if, instead of an actual jar, it's a drawing of the JAZZ jar that we put on a t-shirt? max does this help?
	11:50am Franco Twinkie: I made a shirt with no compensation except knowing that DJ's would wear it.
	11:50am chresti: Max wants more t-shirts
	👻 11:50am karlward: They left three shirts out of my swag delivery
	👻 11:50am karlward: Joe is already on it
	👻 11:51am karlward: v. excited about those three shirts
	👻 11:51am Handy Haversack: I'm just spitballing here, but what if the T-shirt was in the JAZZ jar? And of the JAZZ jar? Fannypack physics have been mostly theoretical, but I think we are approaching a crucial experimental moment here.
	11:52am coelacanth∅: i'd like to see a womens' urinary funnel with a picture on it of a wfmu t-shirt with a picture on it of max using the womens' urinary funnel.
	👻 11:53am karlward: Handy that's all fine and good but what happens when we load the jars into the t-shirt cannon? You are playing with fire. Well, glass shards, but you get the drift.
	11:53am Mister Dobalina: These are the sounds that I could really use right now.
	11:54am eileen_tooth: ⭐️
	11:54am Franco Twinkie: I was going to suggest a WFMU onesie, but then realized most listeners are WAY beyond child bearing age.
	👻 11:54am Handy Haversack: What's the point of having all these T-shirt cannons if we're not going to use them to RAISE A LITTLE HELL?!
	11:54am Krys O.: Outwardly I have been patiently waiting for my swag, but inside I'm fighting my disappointment at the delay. :\|
	👻 11:56am Jason from Houston: [walks back in, looks down and sees open fly]
	12:00pm P-90: Thanks @JA!
	👻 12:00pm Jason from Houston: Fine sounds. Thank you, JA. Cheers to the Jazz Jars.
	12:00pm steveo: thanks JA,
	12:00pm Passaic River Blues: Killer show; thank you, sir!
	12:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ JA ~
	👻 12:00pm Handy Haversack: Many thanks, JA!
	12:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks JA!
	12:01pm chresti: Thanks JA!
	12:01pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks John. Gotta go pee now!
	12:06pm Garth: This song would be perfect background music for getting work done to, if it was just a little less awesome.
	9:50am terminalhipness: Fantastic show! Clicky-starred for future reference. Thanks JA

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from August 18, 2022

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:05am morphe': As always .. I draw the listeners' attention to the "critical review"/description/profile of JA in the Am at the top of the page...
	9:07am Krys O.: Hello. Just heard from my coworker's daughter that someone jumped in front of the PATH train at Hoboken station. Service suspended.
	👻 9:12am Handy Haversack: We have achieved an NRU. Recalibrating all instruments to the new scales. We thank those numbers, real and imaginary, whose services will no longer be needed.
	9:12am ben abs: Been a while since I heard this, sounds better than ever
	9:12am chresti: Got plans too
	9:14am Andy: Uh oh. It's that long winded free jazz stuff...
	9:16am chresti: Good morning, plans to make coffee, I have
	9:16am chresti: And yikes Krys O!
	9:16am clownpewter: When it comes to free jazz, I personally think the shorter the wind the better
	9:17am PuraVida: Good morning JA and everyone. I'm awake, i got the memo...
	9:18am John Allen: the 3rd Shorter brother, Wind
	👻 9:19am karlward: Never short sell free jazz
	👻 9:19am Handy Haversack: It's tantamount to outsider trading.
	9:21am John Allen: Karl 100%
	9:21am northguineahills: so, the free jazz wasn't gratis?
	👻 9:22am karlward: These jokes are for all the licensed free jazz traders out there, wearing those cool jackets on the trading floor, shouting things like BLOW (which means sell) and ITS HOT (buy, obv.), throwing papers up in the air, 1986, Dan Rather covering the whole thing
	9:23am clownpewter: I remember first testing out free jazz on a long car ride with my parents when I was a kid - I was like 20 minutes into Coltrane's Ascension with headphones on when my dad asked me why my face looked so uncomfortable. I have since thankfully come around on free jazz, my parents have not.
	9:24am Yes: mornin
	9:24am John Allen: on the backend, hidden fees, local taxes, jazz will always get paid for
	👻 9:25am karlward: True. But it was sad, that moment when the algorithmic traders took over the free jazz market with their flimsy arguments about "providing liquidity" and "broker's best price obligation."
	9:30am chresti: I like short blasts of wind.
	9:31am northguineahills: what is lost is the scale in which all of this free jazz commodities can be traded. A lower case pentatonic scale, is a great place for to realize their actuals in the short term.
	9:31am Andrew Waterloo: Exciting Times, everyone! I have a notice card from the post man.. very sure it is for my swag.
	9:32am jackjohn: I miss my Casio SK1
	9:32am Spence in Baltimore: As Milton Friedman said, there is no such thing as a free jazz
	👻 9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: Jazz does not want to be constrained. It wants to be free! Good morning!
	9:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Morning ! ...good to hear the gooses & seals are having a happy Xmas...
	9:35am jackjohn: is there any potential here for quantitative easy listening?
	9:36am northguineahills: for the advanced trader, microtonal affixed to macrotonal scalars can be accommodated.
	👻 9:36am karlward: Or my favorite Friedman-on-jazz quote: "I am favor of freeing jazz under any circumstances and for any excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible."
	👻 9:36am karlward: I 100% disagree with Friedman on everything else, but he had a solid take on what to do about the jazz.
	9:36am Passaic River Blues: Time to harvest the untapped dividends of an unreleased Tapscott album recorded in 1969 and set to come out on Mr. Bongo: mrbongo.bandcamp.com...
	9:37am northguineahills: I had a friend at a party try to hook the wrong battery voltage to my SK-1, it made some curious noises before succumbing to the dirge of silence.
	9:38am mb: Hola DJ JA and friends
	9:40am miles of middle texas: Hey y'all. JA , thanks
	9:41am John Allen: one day I'll tell you all about how I sold off Black Unity Trio, Nation Time, Abdul Al-Hannan, and Seikatsu Kōjyō Iinkai to purchase kitchen cabinetry
	9:41am northguineahills: @PRB: You might need Bo Anders Persson et al and ask for an International Harvester for your efforts...
	9:44am northguineahills: @JA: my story is less sexy, i sold off many of those titles you mentioned and more just to pay for living at a hotel last year.
	👻 9:46am karlward: That $1 sale, somebody made out like a bandit
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Not even the live Jeff Beck record???
	9:48am Alvy Singer: My first free jazz album was "Echo" from pianist Dave Burrell. Sunny Murray and Archie Shepp are on this record and it's totally schizophrenic.
	9:48am chresti: Was gonna say, karlward...
	9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Smooove...
	👻 9:49am Handy Haversack: Stop! Hammer time!
	9:49am Passaic River Blues: Someone needs to deliver to Montgomery Street Jan Hammer Group's "Live in New York" RIGHT NOW.
	9:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Wouldn't it be funny if we found out that "hammer pants" originated with Jan Hammer? OK, maybe not.
	👻 9:50am karlward: First free jazz record was probably "Our Lady of Eternal Sunny Delights" by Free Radicals. But that was a gift. First free jazz I bought was probably Sam Rivers "Crystals."
	9:51am Andrew Waterloo: My record collection would feel very validated if I could sell a piece of it for something practical.
	9:51am John Allen: Alvy cant go wrong with a budget actuel starter pack
	9:52am John Allen: andrew feel free to send your don't want list
	9:55am holland oats: ron everett! 🙌
	9:59am northguineahills: I saw Sam Rivers in Orlando (one of the few great artists from Orlando) when I was 18. That show got me out of my indie rock/rave ghetto....
	9:59am Alvy Singer: @John Allen--Yeah, the BYG/Actuel roster is just staggering in it's depth. A pretty good place to start for those looking to enter the free jazz world.
	10:02am Andrew Waterloo: Actuel was a starting point for me.
	10:05am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The first free-ish jazz things I bought were a compilation that had Gato on it and also Corea/Altshul/Holland's A.R.C. Both had me wondering just what the heck was going on. Loved it. Still do!
	👻 10:06am karlward: The Wildflowers compilation is where I really fell into the free jazz pool, luckily there were some skateboarders down there who helped me out
	10:07am steveo: Good morning! Imagine this comment is full of incredibly intellectually stimulating things, mostly about jazz.
	👻 10:07am karlward: If it's not about jazz, it's still about jazz though
	👻 10:08am Handy Haversack: Wow, I really agree with what steveo said!
	10:08am steveo: Right on time for trombone time
	10:08am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @karlward: Even if it's Britney Spears?
	👻 10:09am karlward: I would buy a Britney x Laraaji record, I would go to their shows, I would get a shitty van with a manual transmission and follow their tour around the country
	👻 10:12am karlward: I do not understand infinity bananas
	👻 10:13am karlward: Like I understand that drumming on some level, but not the conscious mind one
	10:14am steveo: i dunno seems infinitely bananas to me
	10:14am Andres: Good AM, JA and all. My kids eat so many bananas.
	👻 10:14am Jason from Houston: Hello in there, hello.
	10:17am northguineahills: I'm going back to buddy bolden's jass....
	10:18am Andrew Waterloo: Eucalyptus is lead by Brodie West. Recommend checking out his quintet.
	👻 10:22am Jason from Houston: Pre-filled.
	10:22am steveo: why not a jazz catheter? much more discreet
	👻 10:22am karlward: I too love the Minutemen
	👻 10:22am karlward: That was HANDY not me
	👻 10:23am Handy Haversack: You were gonna end up smelling of JAZZ pee sooner or later, karlward.
	10:23am Andres: Wouldn’t an accompanying music stand for coverage be required?
	10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...to bed musics - we add bedpans...
	👻 10:23am karlward: My vote is still for the JAZZ tarp.
	10:26am morphe': Last time in NYC, May, there was a tremendous traffic jam on Delancy/Essex all over... for the WillyBurg Bridge and FDR and ...Stopped on my bike at a red light and a worker in a worker truck was cool but frustrated... I said "I hope ya have a pee bottle.." He reached down an pulled up a WIDE opening liter sized Gatorade bottle and smiled ..
	10:26am John Allen: nice Karl. when you can't stop the tour bus
	10:27am Passaic River Blues: Oh man, that's terrible! Pretty sure I really got into "Camille" and the rest of this record a few years ago after hearing some Hemphill and Jenkins tracks on this very program.
	10:27am northguineahills: jazz bottle/trucker bottle/pee bottle in the hospital. Same idea. jazz tarp/slayer/gg allin/crash worship tarp, same motivating idea....
	10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I just like how 'Jazz catheter' scans...
	10:28am northguineahills: I had no idea about abdul wadud.
	10:28am Andrew Waterloo: for some reason I was associated jazz bottle with swear jar.
	10:31am Alvy Singer: Mike Watt wrote a song about his father called Piss Bottle Man. Something his pop kept handy in his vehicle.
	10:32am John Allen: HaHA, NGH I saw GG play in Bethlehem in 92, obvs towards the end and his was full on shit slinging into audience, and someone yelled out TARP
	10:35am morphe': I carry a pee bottle on buses to the Madrid Mountains and elsewhere... learned my lesson in Mexico where I had to use my one toothbrush ziplock bag for the urgency on a long distance/no toilet bus... needless to say, I did not rinse and reuse for the toothbrush
	10:37am Will from MD: Just got out of a Zoom meeting and this track is really helping me re-center after spending time in the endlessly frustrating digital ethereal horror that is Zoom.
	10:40am John Allen: thinking the jazz bottle premium might not be as useful for the ladies, so we'll see if we can sillscreen these to go with the bottle. Karl run the numbers bit.ly...
	10:42am Franco Twinkie: Hi John and leakers. What I do is just just open the passenger side door of my truck and pretend I'm looking for something, then pee in the gutter. Never been called on it.
	10:43am coelacanth∅: g'morning John and all
	10:45am coelacanth∅: hard blues twice in one week on fmu. sounds good to me.
	10:45am Franco Twinkie: Good morning Coel. I'll bet you've pissed in public more than a few times.
	10:46am Yes: This is great
	10:46am Passaic River Blues: SO GOOD
	10:46am coelacanth∅: Franco if i didn't get busted it didn't happen
	10:46am Alvy Singer: Abdul Wadud RIP.
	10:47am Franco Twinkie: Sage answer.
	10:48am roni: now that’s jazz! amazing!
	10:49am steveo: are there bass tubas? like an octave or 2 lower?
	10:49am morphe': When I visited Helsinki I was happily surprised when my female friend (and later her female friends) just stepped away, neatr a tree and just dropped the trousers and squatted and peed... My friend whose Granny grew up on the LES said her Granny told her that the girls would step between 2 cars, put one foot up on the bumper of one car and wee. shoes got a bit wet but better she said than the 4 flights and missing yer turn in the jump ropes..
	👻 10:49am karlward: Moog Sub Phatty is what you are looking for steveo
	10:50am John Allen: nice one Franco. Sometimes I just pretend I'm flipping thru the bins
	10:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So much tuba bass of late.
	10:51am coelacanth∅: hahaha (JA) !
	10:52am steveo: that looks very cool, kw, but you wouldn't have to train as if for a marathon to play it
	10:53am dougseidel: Such a great Arthur Blythe record.
	10:56am coelacanth∅: that Women Urine Funnel Bottle Outdoor Travel Hiking Car Stand Up Pee for Ladies Portable Handle Woman Daily Urination Funnel Device ...looks like bullshit and there'd be pee everywhere.
	10:56am jt: Loving The Jazz Bottle today, John. You always play the stuff i need to hear, if i didn't know it .
	👻 10:57am Handy Haversack: coela, I don't think they ever explicitly state that there won't be pee everywhere.
	10:59am John Allen: coelacanth∅, but it's 80 cents. if we silkscreen WFMU onto the side, its a win/win from a purely marketing standpoint
	11:00am coelacanth∅: true,Handy. mybad. i'll carry moist towelettes when i travel with ladies.
	11:01am Franco Twinkie: My friends were walking around in Chinatown and one of the women really had to go. She ran into the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant, pulled her pants down and peed on the floor.
	11:02am coelacanth∅: John that's true too. i'd like to have one, and i'll donate more than 80¢ for it
	11:02am John Allen: Oh I've heard that one. It was because she knew she wouldn't be the one to get a violation in the kitchen...
	👻 11:03am karlward: John Allen: I checked with the supplier, the items already have WFMU silkscreened on them, "they came that way from the factory" he said, said he still had to charge us $0.20 extra per but Handy talked him down
	11:04am John Allen: from a giving standpoint, I think the female catheter / jazz bottle couldn't be received with more mixed emotion
	11:04am chresti: Seems like it would be hard to pull off drip free when your wearing tight pants, also it looks like hard plastic that cracks easily? @Women Urine Funnel Bottle Outdoor Travel Hiking Car Stand Up Pee for Ladies
	👻 11:04am Handy Haversack: I was innocently shopping for softball pants in a local sporting-goods emporium, and some useless kid and his useless yuppie dad came in, and the stupid kid dropped trou and peed in the store! It almost reached my browsing area! And the dad just scooped him up and ran! I was shocked to my core. Fortunately, there was a bar next door. karlward, I might have talked him too far down. I'm getting worried.
	11:04am roni: from an environmental perspective- getting some nuts or leaves or junk draw items and writing WFMU -works. btw- sure am enjoying today’s show.
	11:05am jt: Father to a son, " Best thing to have on picnic. "
	11:06am chresti: The cut and run method of potty training @Handy
	11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They say most people's #1 is actually sterile. It's the #2's may have any sort of bacteria or virus or anything in it...
	11:09am chresti: Danny Thomas liked to drink pee.
	👻 11:10am Handy Haversack: I did not know that.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: I pity the poor souls who have to gather up the soiled diapers at the end of the day from the various parking lots around the country.
	11:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ I Toast Ye All with that most splendid of diuretics - the DeathWishCoffeez ~
	11:11am John Allen: some crazy danny thomas stories for sure
	11:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...G.G. Allin wrote to Danny from prison about that...
	11:14am Franco Twinkie: I only heard about the Chinese restaurant incident, but this I saw with my own eyes. You might even say I provoked it: A friend and I were camping. We were about to turn it and my friend said she really had to go but didn't want to walk all the way to the restroom. I suggested she just pee into the campfire. She just dropped her pants and stuck her ass into the fire and let it go with a big smile on her face. Boy did it smell!
	11:14am chresti: He kept jars of it in his fridge. You know, one of those crazy celebrity diets or something. I heard it from my ex who delivered dry cleaning for his grandparents in Hollywood, Hancock Park area.
	11:15am roni: pee your in for for a treat
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Supposedly there's some yogic practice you keep drinking it til it comes out clear? I'll remain in the imperfect state re that I guess...
	11:17am coelacanth∅: Madonna espoused the benefits of peeing on your feet.
	11:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...surely I've missed a topic over breakfast...
	11:17am coelacanth∅: i have a book on the subject. some people consider it basically sterilized blood.
	👻 11:18am Jason from Houston: The Station Museum had a Cassils show a few years ago and they collected a whole lot of pee for an installation. 200 gallons. I helped out and kept the bottles in my fridge. stationmuseum.com...
	👻 11:21am Handy Haversack: Storage is definitely easier in cube form. That's just smart thinking, Jason. Someone tell the makers of Women Urine Funnel Bottle Outdoor Travel Hiking Car Stand Up Pee for Ladies!
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in yer salad with the cantaloupe '...
	11:21am John Allen: i think triple distilled is best
	11:21am coelacanth∅: i have long believed that piss smells much much worse when it's different people's piss mixed together. i have no proof though. ...i did, but it's gone.
	11:22am steveo: idk, 80,000 results for "tomato cantaloupe salad"
	11:24am steveo: why did the tomatoes get married in a church? because they cantaloupe
	11:25am eva: My husband bought me a “ladies pee funnel”. It’s horrible. Peace y’all.
	11:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Any salad ya like with a chilled pee refresher ...this is Music, trust us...
	11:26am chresti: Then there was the goat urine injections craze in the mid 80s(?)..
	11:26am coelacanth∅: i'm thirsty, excuse me
	11:28am John Allen: Eva, to be fair to the concept, if one needs to resort to peeing in a bottle, there'll be risks going in regardless..
	11:28am Avrilinmay: loved that. miss Bethany
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ask your Doctor if Jazz Catheter is right for you...
	👻 11:29am Handy Haversack: Maybe we're looking at this all wrong. Maybe WFMU JAZZ pee goats have been staring us in the face all along.
	11:30am chresti: An empty yogurt tub works, or a wide mouth jar.
	👻 11:30am Handy Haversack: Avrilinmay: Bethany did a fill-in on the Drummer stream this week: wfmu.org...
	11:32am Avrilinmay: Hi handy! No way! completely missed it, shame . and thank you :))
	11:32am eva: True JA. Sadly, I couldn’t even write my name in the snow with it.
	11:33am steveo: also missed, thank you HH
	11:34am John Allen: Eva, the trick is move your shoulders. this also holds true with jazz tuba
	👻 11:35am Handy Haversack: I missed it too! But somehow remembered reminding myself not to miss it, which I guess is next best?
	11:36am coelacanth∅: THIS is jazz!
	11:37am eva: Lol!
	11:38am coelacanth∅: if you can't write your name in the snow there's really no point in pissing at all
	👻 11:38am Handy Haversack: That's why we save it all for winter in these handy WFMU JAZZ Jars!
	11:38am patrick321: Hey John and all
	11:39am coelacanth∅: no way Handy. i got a snow maker
	👻 11:39am Handy Haversack: You're living the dream, coela!
	👻 11:39am adampsyche: SUZIE!!
	👻 11:44am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Elvis, Mike, and Meredith!!
	11:45am Max: I am so tired of hearing about swag I swear if wfmu sells another t-shirt I'll die
	11:45am Franco Twinkie: The topic that never ends!
	11:46am chresti: A funnel with the jazz bottle!
	11:47am John Allen: now now max, it's the only way we can keep this place running. that and free labor
	11:47am Avrilinmay: @handy : it sure is
	👻 11:48am karlward: What if, instead of an actual jar, it's a drawing of the JAZZ jar that we put on a t-shirt? max does this help?
	11:50am Franco Twinkie: I made a shirt with no compensation except knowing that DJ's would wear it.
	11:50am chresti: Max wants more t-shirts
	👻 11:50am karlward: They left three shirts out of my swag delivery
	👻 11:50am karlward: Joe is already on it
	👻 11:51am karlward: v. excited about those three shirts
	👻 11:51am Handy Haversack: I'm just spitballing here, but what if the T-shirt was in the JAZZ jar? And of the JAZZ jar? Fannypack physics have been mostly theoretical, but I think we are approaching a crucial experimental moment here.
	11:52am coelacanth∅: i'd like to see a womens' urinary funnel with a picture on it of a wfmu t-shirt with a picture on it of max using the womens' urinary funnel.
	👻 11:53am karlward: Handy that's all fine and good but what happens when we load the jars into the t-shirt cannon? You are playing with fire. Well, glass shards, but you get the drift.
	11:53am Mister Dobalina: These are the sounds that I could really use right now.
	11:54am eileen_tooth: ⭐️
	11:54am Franco Twinkie: I was going to suggest a WFMU onesie, but then realized most listeners are WAY beyond child bearing age.
	👻 11:54am Handy Haversack: What's the point of having all these T-shirt cannons if we're not going to use them to RAISE A LITTLE HELL?!
	11:54am Krys O.: Outwardly I have been patiently waiting for my swag, but inside I'm fighting my disappointment at the delay. :\|
	👻 11:56am Jason from Houston: [walks back in, looks down and sees open fly]
	12:00pm P-90: Thanks @JA!
	👻 12:00pm Jason from Houston: Fine sounds. Thank you, JA. Cheers to the Jazz Jars.
	12:00pm steveo: thanks JA,
	12:00pm Passaic River Blues: Killer show; thank you, sir!

	12:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks JA!
	12:01pm chresti: Thanks JA!
	12:01pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks John. Gotta go pee now!
	12:06pm Garth: This song would be perfect background music for getting work done to, if it was just a little less awesome.
	9:50am terminalhipness: Fantastic show! Clicky-starred for future reference. Thanks JA
