	3:10pm Feldy: SºLº!
	🧂 3:10pm chresti: ↳ arb @3:06 Yes! At my son and partner's condo in SF.
	3:10pm arb: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:09 if you listen to national media probably all of them
	3:11pm Feldy: I'll Try-a-Decahedron I'm just that way
	3:11pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:09 None, Everyone here is high as a kite.
	3:12pm 🎠 JLH 🎠: LOVING THE SHOW ARB !!!!!
	3:12pm Carmichael: ↳ arb @3:10 The media latched onto a new phrase: bomb cyclone.
	3:12pm ifny: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:09 Hereby reporting from the shores of the Pacific. You're coming through loud and weird, SNAFU <3
	3:13pm 🎠 JLH 🎠: Very good for this cold creepy windy rainy slate gray day
	🧂 3:13pm JtotheK: seasonal greeting and pleasant tidings, Arb, hi everyone! hope there's room here for me!
	3:14pm arb: JLH helllloooo! 💜
	🧂 3:14pm JtotheK: Arb Book Club: 'Against the Day' (nearing the midpoint! hoping to finish the book by end of January.)
	3:14pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Song: "Stimme" by "F.S.K." This is good like a cup of soup right now.
	3:14pm arb: Hi JtotheK! I hope to read that someday
	3:14pm StringOFperils: Voluntary self-control is fashion and a product of desperation...
	3:15pm arb: ↳ Ridonkulous @3:14 Ridonk, I feel the soup metaphor here, absolutely 🍵
	3:16pm Carmichael: I didn't know Pynchon was still writing. I read V and Gravity's Rainbow for my Masters Thesis.
	3:16pm ifny: This episode is activating my own personal atmospheric river this morn.
	🧂 3:16pm solo mon: im an atmospheric raver
	🧂 3:17pm solo mon: ↳ StringOFperils @3:14 ask laura brannigan about self control
	3:17pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @3:16 Oh, and The Crying of Lot 49.
	3:18pm StringOFperils: ↳ solo mon @3:17 Bran relieves you of self-control
	3:18pm arb: ↳ ifny @3:16 Hi ifny, love to hear that!
	3:18pm ifny: I met an atmospheric reaver once. Tall dark and hand-some. Really knew how to separate the wheat from the chaff.
	3:19pm ifny: I said, look pal, keep your scythe to yourself.
	3:19pm Feldy: THat's So Atmospheric Raven
	3:20pm ifny: ...speaking of farming related injuries...
	3:20pm ifny: It's all fun and games until someone loses a neck.
	3:20pm arb: ↳ ifny @3:20 lol
	3:21pm Ridonkulous: ↳ ifny @3:20 "misplaces" is nicer.
	3:21pm ifny: One of my favourite DJs lost a finger in a combine accident. True story.
	🧂 3:21pm Aitch: Breakfast Arb! What a lovely surprise
	3:22pm arb: I cut my thumb into an "arsenio hall" a few months ago, but it regenerated
	3:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Carmichael @3:17 In GR, what did Katje Borgesius swallowing the turd signify?
	3:22pm arb: Hi Aitch, how ya doing?
	3:22pm Roberto: ↳ ifny @3:21 Are you on the dial? Are you tuned in right? One of our D.J.'s fingers is missing.
	🧂 3:23pm Aitch: ↳ arb @3:22 Just did 8 days in hospital, so a hellofalotbetter
	3:23pm Little Danny: sup
	3:23pm Feldy: I watched a movie last night where a guy cuts his fingers off because his friend won't stop talking to him
	3:24pm ifny: ↳ Roberto @3:22 Oh really! There must be more than one. What do we call a group of DJs missing digits? A plinth?
	3:24pm Little Danny: ↳ Feldy @3:23 pretty reasonable instinct
	3:24pm ifny: ↳ Feldy @3:23 I saw that movie. My colleagues father's birthday movie choice. It was awesome.
	3:25pm Little Danny: ↳ Feldy @3:23 what'd you think of BoI feldy?
	3:25pm Little Danny: have not seen it
	3:26pm Carmichael: ↳ Feldy @3:23 The Banshees of Inisheerin, a great movie.
	3:26pm arb: ↳ Aitch @3:23 sorry to hear, but so happy you are released and feeling better
	3:27pm arb: Hi LD!
	3:27pm Feldy: ↳ Little Danny @3:25 I was fully absorbed in it, really interesting film
	3:27pm Mr. Oxford: Hello everyone!
	3:27pm ifny: ↳ Roberto @3:22 If you liked Banshees, watch Dogtooth, and The Lobster.
	3:27pm arb: Hi Mr Oxford!
	3:27pm Carmichael: ↳ StringOFperils @3:22 My default answer to questions re: Pynchon is "even he doesn't know."
	3:27pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "En el Horno" by "Juan Crek" This is a zany track.
	3:28pm arb: The Lobster is one of my favorites! 🦞
	3:28pm ifny: The Lobster is one of my favourite films. I can't watch Dogtooth a second time, it's too intense, but I still recommend it.
	3:29pm Feldy: ↳ Little Danny @3:25 Very subtle war-tension undercurrents
	🧂 3:29pm Aitch: ↳ arb @3:26 As Dr Frankenstein said in the movie, "Otto, you cannot know death until you have fucked life in the gallbladder"
	3:29pm spodiodi: 👀
	3:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ Carmichael @3:27 I'll buy that.
	3:30pm ifny: I've been watching the Guillermo del Toro curated series Cabinet of Curiosities. Intense and silly in all the right ways.
	3:31pm Carmichael: ↳ ifny @3:28 I read the description and balked. In all fairness, I just came out of an Adam Driver movie that made no sense at all.
	3:32pm Mr. Oxford: What a multilingual set. Feel sad I missed it. But archives shall rescue me!
	3:33pm ifny: @arb Congrats on longer time! And yay!
	3:34pm Ridonkulous: ↳ ifny @3:28 A theater here was showing Gummo, which I haven't seen. My inner '90s person was drawn to it, but the reaction of everyone I know who'd ever seen it made me decide not to.
	3:34pm arb: thanks!
	3:34pm arb: I still haven't seen Trash Humpers which would be a nice companion to this track
	3:35pm ifny: I adored Gummo. Absolutely adored it. But Trash Humpers is loathsome and really best avoided.
	3:35pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Aitch @3:23 Sad to hear that. At least you are out of the hospital! Hope you feel better and recover. I spent some time at the hospital too for a surgery this week. Most important is that our time at hospitals are over and we are out! Time to feel better!
	3:36pm StringOFperils: After Spring Breakers, I don't think I can willingly watch any more Harmony Korine...not so far at least
	🧂 3:36pm Aitch: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:35 And not many things make me feel better than an Arb show.
	3:37pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Aitch @3:36 This is my first time listening to the Arbitrarium show. I'm quite liking it!
	3:37pm ifny: Trash Humpers is just gratuitously bad and I found it unwatchable after what felt like an eternity but was probably only a decade or two into it.
	3:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ ifny @3:37 That sounds about right. If it isn't repulsive, he hasn't done his job
	🧂 3:39pm Aitch: I promise you all I sort my garbage!
	3:39pm arb: I genuinely love the superfluous Australian use of the word 'heap'
	3:40pm arb: ↳ Aitch @3:36 <3
	3:40pm HyperDose: ARB at a new time. This feels illegal!
	3:40pm arb: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:37 Welcome!!
	3:40pm ifny: It's a fine line with Harmony Korinne between garbage passion and passionate garbage. Gummo got it right. Also the short film he did with Die Antwoord 'Umshini Wam' is magical. They are made for each other.
	🧂 3:41pm Aitch: ↳ HyperDose @3:40 7am Saturday in Sydney, heart-starter with extra Arb.
	3:41pm arb: Hi HyperDose!
	3:42pm arb: wow 7am arbitrarium listener I admire your commitment
	3:42pm Gaylord Fields: arb, I have nothing to say except your name, which is arb.
	3:42pm ifny: Umshini Wam is on YT if anyone wants to watch it after the Arbitrarium :) www.youtube.com...
	3:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ ifny @3:40 What's really disturbing is him. And he presents himself as the end-product of something beyond the film that is beyond hideous. It's like having Boyd Rice move into your head to start doing the driving.
	3:44pm ifny: ↳ StringOFperils @3:42 Yeah fair. He's nihilist in the bad sense.
	3:44pm arb: Hello Gaylord! arb is marbles in the mouth
	3:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:42 Hi there Gaylord, Were you able to watch the Dionne Warwick show on CNN?
	3:45pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ arb @3:44 I'm having threaded arb for lunch (and I'm a vegetarian)!
	3:45pm ifny: Speaking of good nihilism, I recommend the book 'Blessed is the Flame'. Hard to find but worth ordering.
	3:46pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:45 I wasn't home at the time, alas.
	3:46pm arb: hi Andrew!
	3:46pm ifny: Owait, it's online 'Blessed is the Flame: An introduction to concentration camp resistance and anarcho-nihilism' -- theanarchistlibrary.org...
	3:47pm arb: How many Canadian provinces are repped in the comments today?
	3:47pm ifny: I don't recognize arbitrary genocidal geographic imaginaries. No offence to arb and arbitraria :)
	3:48pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @3:47 The Arbtic Circle
	3:48pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ arb @3:47 Well, my Canadian girlfriend lives in Saskathetoba.
	🧂 3:48pm JtotheK: ↳ Carmichael @3:17 Carm, a good friend of mine (no longer with us, miss ya Flavor Dave!) introduced me to Pynchon books. I have to finish Against the Day and then have his collection of short stories. Though I hope he publishes some more!
	3:48pm Sem: Nova Scotia representing!
	3:49pm arb: does your girlfriend believe in the arbitrarium?
	3:49pm ifny: But I'm here on the unceded traditional occupied territory of the xʷməθkʷəjˀəm (Musqueam). You can find out whose land you're living on here: native-land.ca
	3:49pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ arb @3:47 I no longer live in Canada nor am I Canadian. But as a one time resident of Alberta, I guess I can represent that Canadian province. Unless of course there is an Albertan here who would naturally be more qualified than me for representing Alberta.
	3:50pm StringOFperils: A place to stand, a place to grow, Ontair-eye-air-aye-air-eye-O...or so 1967 would have it
	🧂 3:50pm JtotheK: ↳ JtotheK @3:48 Gravity Rainbow was what I read first, and that book made me realize how much I enjoyed reading and that I needed to do more of it! It also took me at least 6 months because it was like nothing I'd read before. Mason & Dixon might be my favorite.
	3:50pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @3:48 Did I ever tell you that a few years ago I visited both Afro-Canadian museums in NS?
	3:51pm Sem: Carmichael, went from The Crying of..then to Inherent Vice, whilst reading Gravity, over 40 years.
	3:51pm Sem: You did not, Gaylord. Do tell.
	🧂 3:52pm JtotheK: Oh and Carm, please post the text of your thesis on GR, etc. here to the chat board for us to read!
	3:52pm arb: Vineland is my fave but I have only read 2.2 of his books
	3:52pm ifny: Looks like East Orange is on Munsee Lenape land native-land.ca...
	3:53pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:49 Oh and my profile picture was taken in Alberta. Would that count?
	3:53pm Carmichael: ↳ Sem @3:51 I have only read his earlier stuff, as mentioned above. Looking back, I lost track of the fact that he's still writing. Like Vonnegut, I devoured him at a point in time, then moved on. Or moved somewhere ...
	🧂 3:53pm Aitch: Nice to hear actual aussie accents, we're not all yawling yobs with kangaroos in the streets.
	🧂 3:54pm JtotheK: Hasn't seen the Lobster, but it's in in some "to watch" queue or another. Also hasn't seen Banshees, might be movie to watch this weekend.
	3:54pm HyperDose: ↳ Aitch @3:53 Normie in the streets, kangaroo in the sheets
	3:54pm Sem: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 Yes, same experience with KV. Lasted until Bluebeard, then the magic for me was gone.
	🧂 3:55pm Aitch: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 But you can always go back for a quick Vonnegut.
	3:55pm HyperDose: The Lobster is a good film
	3:55pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there arb!
	3:55pm Kat in Chicago: Omg what a crushingly boring meeting. Restore my will to live plz
	🧂 3:55pm Aitch: ↳ HyperDose @3:55 A very good film, completely bonkers.
	3:55pm arb: would I ever bore you?
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @3:51 One is in Cherry Brook, and the other is in Shelburne. Both were informative and dispelled any thoughts I may have had of Canada being a paradise for Afro-Canadians.
	3:56pm Carmichael: Pynchon is not publicity-oriented, to say the least. When he won a National Book Award, Professor Irwin Corey accepted on his behalf.
	3:56pm Sem: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:50 Been working on a local community mapping project for some years, see here: www.mapannapolis.ca...
	🧂 3:56pm solo mon: ↳ Aitch @3:55 lobster was great but I really loved dogtooth
	3:56pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Kat in Chicago @3:55 Welcome back to the fresh air!
	3:56pm ifny: Nova Scotia is the unceded occupied home of the Mi’kma’ki (pronounced Mig-maw) and the Wabanaki Dawnland Confederacy.
	🧂 3:57pm solo mon: ↳ Kat in Chicago @3:55 Kat i just had a similar experience, crushed by meetings
	3:57pm ifny: ↳ Sem @3:56 That looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Sharing with an Acadian pal now.
	3:57pm Sem: ↳ ifny @3:56 Indeed. A group I contribute to has raised my consciousness about these matter significantly.
	🧂 3:58pm Aitch: ↳ solo mon @3:56 Dogtooth? Must look, ta solo
	3:58pm ifny: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:56 Yes, it's quintessentially Canadian to point fingers at other racist histories while ignoring genocide and racism past and present in so-called Canada.
	3:58pm Kat in Chicago: at least it’s Friday, solo
	3:58pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:57 Greets Sem!
	3:59pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @3:56 This is great, and a perfect extension of my visit to the Black Loyalist Centre.
	🧂 3:59pm Aitch: ↳ solo mon @3:56 Best movie I saw lately was french one Mandibules, about a giant blowfly, that's nuts as well
	🧂 4:00pm WR: a little bit about Francis Dyson wavefarm.org...
	4:00pm ifny: Looks like Canberra is built on land belonging to the Ngunawal native-land.ca... and the Ngambri native-land.ca...
	4:01pm Sem: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:59 A local group of Black Loyalists descendants has organized to create a story map about "...what happened after that." Mapannapolis provides project management, looks for funding, and so on, by way of being useful.
	4:01pm ifny: ↳ Aitch @3:59 Ooh, I'll check it out, thanks. I'm a huge fan of blowflies. They really have it all.
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ ifny @3:58 That was a big theme of my visit to NS, especially from Black Canadians. I'm well aware of Canada's atrocities against First Nations people, but as a Black American I was inundated with lore of Canada as the Promised Land, which seemed too good to be true — because it was.
	4:02pm Sem: Thanks, arb. Gotta hit my local for fun and games. Seeya later.
	4:02pm arb: gotta get past the doorwoman Sem
	🧂 4:03pm WR: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 Similar, Mason Dixon was the last Pynchon I was aware of. Oh, where have I been during the last decade and a half.
	4:03pm arb: anyone here have the winning mega millions ticket for tonight?
	4:03pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @4:01 We were told "And then we made it to Canada, where we lived Happily Ever After — end of story."
	4:03pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:02 That is true. North America gets inundated from several directions
	4:03pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Trains Interlock" by "Quartz Locked" This track is awesome. Already heard three languages, loads of different sound effects and instruments, different sections, rhythms.
	4:04pm arb: Bleeding Edge was so funny but I got really lost and confused in y2k tech jargon
	🧂 4:05pm WR: ↳ WR @4:03 except I now recall hearing about Inherent Vice as a movie but didn't follow up. Time.
	4:05pm arb: oh I forgot Inherent Vice, I've read 3.2 of his then
	4:05pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ StringOFperils @4:03 I come here for the Australian waste disposal lectures, but I stay for the debunking of nationalist propaganda.
	4:05pm Kat in Chicago: Cool track indeed. I feel my joie de vivre returning
	4:06pm ifny: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:02 Yes, it's only very recently that there's been any media attention paid to enslaved people north of the 49th. The project of white supremacy, land expropriation, enslavement and genocide goes deep and wide, as does its denial and in/voluntary amnesia. Solidarity to you and yours! I'm really glad those museums are up and telling important stories.
	4:06pm arb: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:05 Adding this testimony to my press kit <3
	4:06pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:05 I think I'm here for the debunking of pretty much everything. And I come away with a smile, to boot. It's very refreshing.
	4:07pm ifny: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:05 Haha yes classic WFMU board spirals and brilliant exchanges <3
	4:07pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ ifny @4:06 I am so glad these stories are being told. I want to go back to NS and learn even more.
	4:08pm arb: ↳ StringOFperils @4:06 More for my press kit, I'm glowing. Like my power animal the glow worm which is technically a maggot.
	4:09pm ifny: My friend Khari is doing some great music on the subject khariwendellmcclelland.com
	4:09pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ ifny @4:07 Thank Kenzo and his threaded comment feature for making these tangents and digressions fun and followable!
	4:09pm StringOFperils: The story of Africville is a very interesting Canadian story that hasn't really been explored until recent years, at least not in the pallid-complected community
	🧂 4:09pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Rubber Rituals III" by "Anna Gardeck" Love this!
	4:10pm arb: Me too, Chresti! XO
	4:10pm ifny: This whole show is blowing my mind today, thank you so much @arb for creating space and place for us today!
	4:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:09 This is kicking my bum!!
	4:12pm Gaylord Fields: Holy crap! I forgot I have work to do before my workday ends soon! (That is my most ringing endorsement of The Arbitrarium.)
	4:12pm arb: ↳ ifny @4:10 My pleasure!!! XO
	4:12pm ifny: I saw glow-worms in the woods once. To spot them you have to not look at them.
	4:13pm arb: I saw them once deep in the steppe of Tasmania
	4:13pm ifny: Have a great workday Gaylord! Pleasure chatting with you today! Kick the butt out of that work!
	🧂 4:13pm chresti: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:09 Al hail Kenzo!
	4:14pm arb: Thanks for dropping in Gaylord!
	4:14pm ifny: ↳ arb @4:13 A.I. hail Kenzo!
	4:16pm StringOFperils: Good luck, Gaylord. Don't let the Arbitrarium show up on your permanent record.
	4:17pm Little Danny: this is great
	4:18pm arb: hi LD, agreed <3
	4:18pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ arb @4:14 @arb @SOp @ifny: Thanks for the sounds and discourse, respectively, and I'll be back here once I do the bare minimum to stay employed.
	4:19pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:12 There's a black community on Salt Spring Island in BC, too. I don't know their history exactly.
	4:20pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:19 Thanks! Next time I'm in B.C. I will visit. I'm quite interested in the African Diaspora outside the U.S.
	4:21pm StringOFperils: There was an early black community near London, Ontario that was an important terminus of the 'underground railroad. Look up the story of Josiah Henson. His farmstead is still there today.
	4:22pm arb: more aussie accents :)
	🧂 4:22pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Health Benefits Of Drinking Your Menstrual Bl... LOL
	4:22pm Kat in Chicago: Oh my
	4:23pm Ridonkulous: What accent is this exactly?
	4:23pm StringOFperils: A veritable iron mine.
	4:23pm Kat in Chicago: I’m sure this is based on solid medical evidence
	🧂 4:24pm Aitch: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:23 Actual australian accent
	4:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:13 Hiya cresti!
	4:24pm Ridonkulous: She really does make it sound wholesome.
	🧂 4:24pm chresti: I've heard of eating afterbirth but not menstrual blood
	4:24pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ StringOFperils @4:21 I am familiar with Henson and his role. (By the way, my gateway to all things Black Canadian was, of all people, Chicago Cubs pitcher Ferguson Jenkins!)
	🧂 4:24pm chresti: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:24 Hi Andrew!
	4:24pm Kat in Chicago: No longer an option for me :)
	🧂 4:24pm Aitch: Cannibal black-pudding?
	4:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ ifny @4:12 That`s incredible. Have you ever seen fireflys? Thanks.
	4:25pm arb: she had me until smoothie
	4:25pm spodiodi: 🥴
	🧂 4:25pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Health Benefits Of Drinking Your Menstrual Bl... It's good for your beautiful buddy
	4:25pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @4:25 What, why? Wholesome, like I said.
	4:26pm Little Danny: ↳ chresti @4:25 haha
	4:26pm Shineman: WFT
	🧂 4:26pm Aitch: Hope she never meets Gweneth Paltrow, the resulting products would be hideous
	4:26pm arb: ↳ chresti @4:25 ;)
	4:26pm arb: Hi Shineman!
	🧂 4:26pm chresti: ↳ Aitch @4:26 haha
	4:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:24 I'm happy that you know about Mr. Henson's story. It's a harrowing one, and an inspiring one.
	4:27pm Shineman: I turn on the vol. and drinking blood !
	🧂 4:27pm chresti: ↳ Aitch @4:26 Semen facial goop mask
	4:27pm Shineman: Hi
	4:30pm Kat in Chicago: I’m on the app so I can’t clickystar
	🧂 4:30pm chresti: Yeah, don't forget the clicky-stars!
	4:31pm StringOFperils: I find myself bereft of all will and agency, so I can't clicky star anything.
	4:33pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:27 Holy smokes!
	4:33pm ifny mobile: I can clicky-star in the app, though I often have to hit pause and play again for the star function to offer itself.
	4:33pm Kat in Chicago: Waking up with The Arbitrarium would be amazing
	4:33pm Feldy: LOVE the two-hour tour-de-force
	🧂 4:34pm Aitch: My rabbit makes me get up Arb
	4:34pm Shineman: Comes up on mine
	🧂 4:36pm Aitch: ↳ Kat in Chicago @4:33 at time +16 hours down here when the weirder shows are on are often primetime, it's awesome
	4:38pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "The Temple Of Eros" by "Kathy Acker" I don't think I have ever heard Kathy Acker read her writing. Pretty cool track.
	4:39pm arb: I loooooove her scathing voice sooooo much
	4:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:31 This might be the greatest/worst message board ever!
	4:39pm Rich in Washington: DJ problems: trying to put a show playlist together and Discogs is down.
	🧂 4:39pm chresti: arb gets the "I've never heard this before' award!
	4:40pm arb: Hi Rich!
	4:40pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:39 We're working on it. But the soundtrack to the chat is a poke in the brain on a whole other level.
	🧂 4:40pm Aitch: ↳ chresti @4:39 She really does, why I love her so.
	4:41pm Rich in Washington: Hiya, arb! Hi everybody!
	🧂 4:41pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:41 You too Rich!
	4:42pm Kat in Chicago: Rich, does that mean you’re gonna have to draw pictures of all the album covers tonight
	🧂 4:43pm chresti: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:41 Hi Rich!
	4:43pm StringOFperils: She didn't even make any concessions to clarity of what she's saying; it's buried in gunge all the way
	4:44pm Mr. Oxford: Hi Rich!
	🧂 4:44pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:39 Discogs seems ok from here.
	4:44pm Feldy: ↳ Kat in Chicago @4:42 Either that or use an AI bot (no no no)
	4:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:39 You`re right crestikins!
	4:45pm StringOFperils: I think I'll request that this gets played at my funeral.
	🧂 4:45pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Temple Of Eros" by "Kathy Acker" Sounds like she's in a temple
	🧂 4:46pm solo mon: ↳ Kat in Chicago @3:58 yes im relishing in that fact. just got out of another meeting!
	4:46pm Little Danny: stringy who you gettin to do your eulogy
	4:46pm Little Danny: i think i'd do a pretty good job btw
	4:47pm StringOFperils: ↳ Little Danny @4:46 Gonna be a VERY small audience
	4:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @4:41 Hi Aitch! Hope you're feeling better!
	4:47pm Little Danny: being your best friend :)
	4:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mr. Oxford @4:44 Hi Mr. Oxford!
	🧂 4:47pm Aitch: ↳ Little Danny @4:46 and the visuals would be stunning!
	4:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ chresti @4:43 Hiya, chresti!
	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great show! Thanks arb!
	4:48pm Little Danny: thank you aitch so would the jokes!!!
	4:48pm Rich in Washington: This IS awesome! I've been listening since the start, puttering about the house, picking out records, etc.
	4:48pm Ridonkulous: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 This would be nice at a Bar Mitzvah.
	4:49pm ifny: Kathy Acker FTW. Today's show is pure joy for me today. Thank you for all the gifts @arb
	4:49pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @4:47 I'll see if I can line up some dead fish to fill the empty chairs. The position's open if you really want it, LD, but be sure to make it unintelligible, just in case someone shows up
	4:49pm ifny: I also just wanted to say "Kathy Acker FTW".
	4:50pm Little Danny: okay can do stringy see you soon haha!!!
	4:51pm arb: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:48 Thanks Rich!
	4:51pm arb: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks Andrew!
	4:51pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "The Temple Of Eros" by "Kathy Acker" Great show Arb. Thanks for especially playing this track and reminding me of Kathy Acker, a writer whom I still have to read. This kind of reminds me of a William S. Burroughs recording of a short story of his with Kurt Cobain playing guitar in the background. I know Acker was inspired by Burroughs.
	4:51pm arb: ↳ ifny @4:49 Hell yeah! Thank you ifny!
	4:51pm Ridonkulous: "Reading Kathy Acker" by Walter Scott coopercolegallery.com...
	4:52pm arb: ↳ Mr. Oxford @4:51 Yes Mr. Oxford, thanks for dropping in today!!
	4:53pm ifny: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:39 Why would this be the worst chat board ever? I see nothing but gold here. And I'm a goldologist.
	4:54pm ifny: Acker interviewing Burroughs in 1988 allenginsberg.org...
	4:54pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ ifny @4:53 I was being facetious!
	4:55pm StringOFperils: ↳ ifny @4:53 I agree 100%. This is the finest roach powder of dialogue in here. Money back guarantee. You buy in now. We very clean.
	4:55pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ ifny @4:54 Interesting. Thanks for sharing the link!
	4:58pm Carmichael: Back in time to say "thanks Arb". Thanks, Arb.
	4:58pm arb: ↳ Carmichael @4:58 you're welcome carmichael!
	🧂 4:58pm chresti: Thanks president arb!
	4:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks Arb! A high colonic of the mind. Whoooosh.
	4:59pm spodiodi: thanks arb! 🖖
	4:59pm ifny: ↳ Mr. Oxford @4:55 You're welcome :) For the record, I prefer Acker. Not only for her writing, but that she generally didn't murder / cover up murders of comrades/lovers/colleagues.
	5:00pm arb: ↳ chresti @4:58 Welcome Chresti XO
	🧂 5:00pm Aitch: Deeply odd, just the way we like it
	5:00pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you arb!
	5:00pm arb: ↳ StringOFperils @4:59 XO StringOX
	🧂 5:00pm chresti: ↳ Song: "She Brings The Rain" by "Ruth" Nice version!
	5:00pm StringOFperils: Even a CAN cover. Nice.
	5:00pm pot8o: thanks arb! have a great rest of the weekend everyone!
	5:00pm arb: ↳ spodiodi @4:59 <3 Spodi!
	5:00pm Ridonkulous: The show that makes me feel like a Cheshire Cat. Thank you, arb!
	5:01pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ ifny @4:59 Yep, I have to agree Burroughs did horrible things. Not a likeable guy at all.
	5:01pm arb: ↳ Aitch @5:00 <3
	5:01pm arb: ↳ Kat in Chicago @5:00 XO Kat! hope you don't have any more meetings for a while
	5:02pm arb: ↳ pot8o @5:00 thanks pot8o! you too!
	5:02pm Little Danny: thank you arb 🩸🩸
	5:02pm Kat in Chicago: Me too arb
	5:03pm arb: ↳ Ridonkulous @5:00 :)
	🧂 5:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, ARB. Don't slip off the atmospheric riverbank!
	5:03pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @5:03 Exactly like that!
	5:04pm arb: the best thing about being a teen in kansas city in the 90s was the diner where burroughs ate brains and eggs every monday
	5:04pm Rich in Washington: THanks arb!
	🧂 5:05pm WR: Sigh, feeling rested. Thank you, ARB.
	5:05pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @5:04 Wow! You saw him in action?
	5:06pm ifny: ↳ Mr. Oxford @5:01 Yes, aside from spousal murder, he and Kerouac colluded in a 'gay panic defense' for wealthy socialite Lucien Carr who murdered David Kammerer. Ick.
	5:06pm spodiodi: happy friday the 13th
	5:07pm Ridonkulous: Heeeee Haaaaw!
	5:07pm arb: Thanks everyone!
	5:07pm ifny: Thank you @arb for the listening pleasure and everyone else for the visiting pleasure!
	5:08pm spodiodi: friday the 1<3th*
	5:08pm spodiodi: bonus brood

	3:11pm Feldy: I'll Try-a-Decahedron I'm just that way
	3:11pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:09 None, Everyone here is high as a kite.
	3:12pm 🎠 JLH 🎠: LOVING THE SHOW ARB !!!!!
	3:12pm Carmichael: ↳ arb @3:10 The media latched onto a new phrase: bomb cyclone.
	3:12pm ifny: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:09 Hereby reporting from the shores of the Pacific. You're coming through loud and weird, SNAFU <3
	3:13pm 🎠 JLH 🎠: Very good for this cold creepy windy rainy slate gray day
	🧂 3:13pm JtotheK: seasonal greeting and pleasant tidings, Arb, hi everyone! hope there's room here for me!
	3:14pm arb: JLH helllloooo! 💜
	🧂 3:14pm JtotheK: Arb Book Club: 'Against the Day' (nearing the midpoint! hoping to finish the book by end of January.)
	3:14pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Song: "Stimme" by "F.S.K." This is good like a cup of soup right now.
	3:14pm arb: Hi JtotheK! I hope to read that someday
	3:14pm StringOFperils: Voluntary self-control is fashion and a product of desperation...
	3:15pm arb: ↳ Ridonkulous @3:14 Ridonk, I feel the soup metaphor here, absolutely 🍵
	3:16pm Carmichael: I didn't know Pynchon was still writing. I read V and Gravity's Rainbow for my Masters Thesis.
	3:16pm ifny: This episode is activating my own personal atmospheric river this morn.
	🧂 3:16pm solo mon: im an atmospheric raver
	🧂 3:17pm solo mon: ↳ StringOFperils @3:14 ask laura brannigan about self control
	3:17pm Carmichael: ↳ Carmichael @3:16 Oh, and The Crying of Lot 49.
	3:18pm StringOFperils: ↳ solo mon @3:17 Bran relieves you of self-control
	3:18pm arb: ↳ ifny @3:16 Hi ifny, love to hear that!
	3:18pm ifny: I met an atmospheric reaver once. Tall dark and hand-some. Really knew how to separate the wheat from the chaff.
	3:19pm ifny: I said, look pal, keep your scythe to yourself.
	3:19pm Feldy: THat's So Atmospheric Raven
	3:20pm ifny: ...speaking of farming related injuries...
	3:20pm ifny: It's all fun and games until someone loses a neck.
	3:20pm arb: ↳ ifny @3:20 lol
	3:21pm Ridonkulous: ↳ ifny @3:20 "misplaces" is nicer.
	3:21pm ifny: One of my favourite DJs lost a finger in a combine accident. True story.
	🧂 3:21pm Aitch: Breakfast Arb! What a lovely surprise
	3:22pm arb: I cut my thumb into an "arsenio hall" a few months ago, but it regenerated
	3:22pm StringOFperils: ↳ Carmichael @3:17 In GR, what did Katje Borgesius swallowing the turd signify?
	3:22pm arb: Hi Aitch, how ya doing?
	3:22pm Roberto: ↳ ifny @3:21 Are you on the dial? Are you tuned in right? One of our D.J.'s fingers is missing.
	🧂 3:23pm Aitch: ↳ arb @3:22 Just did 8 days in hospital, so a hellofalotbetter
	3:23pm Little Danny: sup
	3:23pm Feldy: I watched a movie last night where a guy cuts his fingers off because his friend won't stop talking to him
	3:24pm ifny: ↳ Roberto @3:22 Oh really! There must be more than one. What do we call a group of DJs missing digits? A plinth?
	3:24pm Little Danny: ↳ Feldy @3:23 pretty reasonable instinct
	3:24pm ifny: ↳ Feldy @3:23 I saw that movie. My colleagues father's birthday movie choice. It was awesome.
	3:25pm Little Danny: ↳ Feldy @3:23 what'd you think of BoI feldy?
	3:25pm Little Danny: have not seen it
	3:26pm Carmichael: ↳ Feldy @3:23 The Banshees of Inisheerin, a great movie.
	3:26pm arb: ↳ Aitch @3:23 sorry to hear, but so happy you are released and feeling better
	3:27pm arb: Hi LD!
	3:27pm Feldy: ↳ Little Danny @3:25 I was fully absorbed in it, really interesting film
	3:27pm Mr. Oxford: Hello everyone!
	3:27pm ifny: ↳ Roberto @3:22 If you liked Banshees, watch Dogtooth, and The Lobster.
	3:27pm arb: Hi Mr Oxford!
	3:27pm Carmichael: ↳ StringOFperils @3:22 My default answer to questions re: Pynchon is "even he doesn't know."
	3:27pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "En el Horno" by "Juan Crek" This is a zany track.
	3:28pm arb: The Lobster is one of my favorites! 🦞
	3:28pm ifny: The Lobster is one of my favourite films. I can't watch Dogtooth a second time, it's too intense, but I still recommend it.
	3:29pm Feldy: ↳ Little Danny @3:25 Very subtle war-tension undercurrents
	🧂 3:29pm Aitch: ↳ arb @3:26 As Dr Frankenstein said in the movie, "Otto, you cannot know death until you have fucked life in the gallbladder"
	3:29pm spodiodi: 👀
	3:30pm StringOFperils: ↳ Carmichael @3:27 I'll buy that.
	3:30pm ifny: I've been watching the Guillermo del Toro curated series Cabinet of Curiosities. Intense and silly in all the right ways.
	3:31pm Carmichael: ↳ ifny @3:28 I read the description and balked. In all fairness, I just came out of an Adam Driver movie that made no sense at all.
	3:32pm Mr. Oxford: What a multilingual set. Feel sad I missed it. But archives shall rescue me!
	3:33pm ifny: @arb Congrats on longer time! And yay!
	3:34pm Ridonkulous: ↳ ifny @3:28 A theater here was showing Gummo, which I haven't seen. My inner '90s person was drawn to it, but the reaction of everyone I know who'd ever seen it made me decide not to.
	3:34pm arb: thanks!
	3:34pm arb: I still haven't seen Trash Humpers which would be a nice companion to this track
	3:35pm ifny: I adored Gummo. Absolutely adored it. But Trash Humpers is loathsome and really best avoided.
	3:35pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Aitch @3:23 Sad to hear that. At least you are out of the hospital! Hope you feel better and recover. I spent some time at the hospital too for a surgery this week. Most important is that our time at hospitals are over and we are out! Time to feel better!
	3:36pm StringOFperils: After Spring Breakers, I don't think I can willingly watch any more Harmony Korine...not so far at least
	🧂 3:36pm Aitch: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:35 And not many things make me feel better than an Arb show.
	3:37pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Aitch @3:36 This is my first time listening to the Arbitrarium show. I'm quite liking it!
	3:37pm ifny: Trash Humpers is just gratuitously bad and I found it unwatchable after what felt like an eternity but was probably only a decade or two into it.
	3:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ ifny @3:37 That sounds about right. If it isn't repulsive, he hasn't done his job
	🧂 3:39pm Aitch: I promise you all I sort my garbage!
	3:39pm arb: I genuinely love the superfluous Australian use of the word 'heap'
	3:40pm arb: ↳ Aitch @3:36 <3
	3:40pm HyperDose: ARB at a new time. This feels illegal!
	3:40pm arb: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:37 Welcome!!
	3:40pm ifny: It's a fine line with Harmony Korinne between garbage passion and passionate garbage. Gummo got it right. Also the short film he did with Die Antwoord 'Umshini Wam' is magical. They are made for each other.
	🧂 3:41pm Aitch: ↳ HyperDose @3:40 7am Saturday in Sydney, heart-starter with extra Arb.
	3:41pm arb: Hi HyperDose!
	3:42pm arb: wow 7am arbitrarium listener I admire your commitment
	3:42pm Gaylord Fields: arb, I have nothing to say except your name, which is arb.
	3:42pm ifny: Umshini Wam is on YT if anyone wants to watch it after the Arbitrarium :) www.youtube.com...
	3:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ ifny @3:40 What's really disturbing is him. And he presents himself as the end-product of something beyond the film that is beyond hideous. It's like having Boyd Rice move into your head to start doing the driving.
	3:44pm ifny: ↳ StringOFperils @3:42 Yeah fair. He's nihilist in the bad sense.
	3:44pm arb: Hello Gaylord! arb is marbles in the mouth
	3:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:42 Hi there Gaylord, Were you able to watch the Dionne Warwick show on CNN?
	3:45pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ arb @3:44 I'm having threaded arb for lunch (and I'm a vegetarian)!
	3:45pm ifny: Speaking of good nihilism, I recommend the book 'Blessed is the Flame'. Hard to find but worth ordering.
	3:46pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @3:45 I wasn't home at the time, alas.
	3:46pm arb: hi Andrew!
	3:46pm ifny: Owait, it's online 'Blessed is the Flame: An introduction to concentration camp resistance and anarcho-nihilism' -- theanarchistlibrary.org...
	3:47pm arb: How many Canadian provinces are repped in the comments today?
	3:47pm ifny: I don't recognize arbitrary genocidal geographic imaginaries. No offence to arb and arbitraria :)
	3:48pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @3:47 The Arbtic Circle
	3:48pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ arb @3:47 Well, my Canadian girlfriend lives in Saskathetoba.
	🧂 3:48pm JtotheK: ↳ Carmichael @3:17 Carm, a good friend of mine (no longer with us, miss ya Flavor Dave!) introduced me to Pynchon books. I have to finish Against the Day and then have his collection of short stories. Though I hope he publishes some more!
	3:48pm Sem: Nova Scotia representing!
	3:49pm arb: does your girlfriend believe in the arbitrarium?
	3:49pm ifny: But I'm here on the unceded traditional occupied territory of the xʷməθkʷəjˀəm (Musqueam). You can find out whose land you're living on here: native-land.ca
	3:49pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ arb @3:47 I no longer live in Canada nor am I Canadian. But as a one time resident of Alberta, I guess I can represent that Canadian province. Unless of course there is an Albertan here who would naturally be more qualified than me for representing Alberta.
	3:50pm StringOFperils: A place to stand, a place to grow, Ontair-eye-air-aye-air-eye-O...or so 1967 would have it
	🧂 3:50pm JtotheK: ↳ JtotheK @3:48 Gravity Rainbow was what I read first, and that book made me realize how much I enjoyed reading and that I needed to do more of it! It also took me at least 6 months because it was like nothing I'd read before. Mason & Dixon might be my favorite.
	3:50pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @3:48 Did I ever tell you that a few years ago I visited both Afro-Canadian museums in NS?
	3:51pm Sem: Carmichael, went from The Crying of..then to Inherent Vice, whilst reading Gravity, over 40 years.
	3:51pm Sem: You did not, Gaylord. Do tell.
	🧂 3:52pm JtotheK: Oh and Carm, please post the text of your thesis on GR, etc. here to the chat board for us to read!
	3:52pm arb: Vineland is my fave but I have only read 2.2 of his books
	3:52pm ifny: Looks like East Orange is on Munsee Lenape land native-land.ca...
	3:53pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Mr. Oxford @3:49 Oh and my profile picture was taken in Alberta. Would that count?
	3:53pm Carmichael: ↳ Sem @3:51 I have only read his earlier stuff, as mentioned above. Looking back, I lost track of the fact that he's still writing. Like Vonnegut, I devoured him at a point in time, then moved on. Or moved somewhere ...
	🧂 3:53pm Aitch: Nice to hear actual aussie accents, we're not all yawling yobs with kangaroos in the streets.
	🧂 3:54pm JtotheK: Hasn't seen the Lobster, but it's in in some "to watch" queue or another. Also hasn't seen Banshees, might be movie to watch this weekend.
	3:54pm HyperDose: ↳ Aitch @3:53 Normie in the streets, kangaroo in the sheets
	3:54pm Sem: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 Yes, same experience with KV. Lasted until Bluebeard, then the magic for me was gone.
	🧂 3:55pm Aitch: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 But you can always go back for a quick Vonnegut.
	3:55pm HyperDose: The Lobster is a good film
	3:55pm Andrew in Toronto: Hi there arb!
	3:55pm Kat in Chicago: Omg what a crushingly boring meeting. Restore my will to live plz
	🧂 3:55pm Aitch: ↳ HyperDose @3:55 A very good film, completely bonkers.
	3:55pm arb: would I ever bore you?
	3:56pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @3:51 One is in Cherry Brook, and the other is in Shelburne. Both were informative and dispelled any thoughts I may have had of Canada being a paradise for Afro-Canadians.
	3:56pm Carmichael: Pynchon is not publicity-oriented, to say the least. When he won a National Book Award, Professor Irwin Corey accepted on his behalf.
	3:56pm Sem: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:50 Been working on a local community mapping project for some years, see here: www.mapannapolis.ca...
	🧂 3:56pm solo mon: ↳ Aitch @3:55 lobster was great but I really loved dogtooth
	3:56pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Kat in Chicago @3:55 Welcome back to the fresh air!
	3:56pm ifny: Nova Scotia is the unceded occupied home of the Mi’kma’ki (pronounced Mig-maw) and the Wabanaki Dawnland Confederacy.
	🧂 3:57pm solo mon: ↳ Kat in Chicago @3:55 Kat i just had a similar experience, crushed by meetings
	3:57pm ifny: ↳ Sem @3:56 That looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Sharing with an Acadian pal now.
	3:57pm Sem: ↳ ifny @3:56 Indeed. A group I contribute to has raised my consciousness about these matter significantly.
	🧂 3:58pm Aitch: ↳ solo mon @3:56 Dogtooth? Must look, ta solo
	3:58pm ifny: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:56 Yes, it's quintessentially Canadian to point fingers at other racist histories while ignoring genocide and racism past and present in so-called Canada.
	3:58pm Kat in Chicago: at least it’s Friday, solo
	3:58pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @3:57 Greets Sem!
	3:59pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @3:56 This is great, and a perfect extension of my visit to the Black Loyalist Centre.
	🧂 3:59pm Aitch: ↳ solo mon @3:56 Best movie I saw lately was french one Mandibules, about a giant blowfly, that's nuts as well
	🧂 4:00pm WR: a little bit about Francis Dyson wavefarm.org...
	4:00pm ifny: Looks like Canberra is built on land belonging to the Ngunawal native-land.ca... and the Ngambri native-land.ca...
	4:01pm Sem: ↳ Gaylord Fields @3:59 A local group of Black Loyalists descendants has organized to create a story map about "...what happened after that." Mapannapolis provides project management, looks for funding, and so on, by way of being useful.
	4:01pm ifny: ↳ Aitch @3:59 Ooh, I'll check it out, thanks. I'm a huge fan of blowflies. They really have it all.
	4:02pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ ifny @3:58 That was a big theme of my visit to NS, especially from Black Canadians. I'm well aware of Canada's atrocities against First Nations people, but as a Black American I was inundated with lore of Canada as the Promised Land, which seemed too good to be true — because it was.
	4:02pm Sem: Thanks, arb. Gotta hit my local for fun and games. Seeya later.
	4:02pm arb: gotta get past the doorwoman Sem
	🧂 4:03pm WR: ↳ Carmichael @3:53 Similar, Mason Dixon was the last Pynchon I was aware of. Oh, where have I been during the last decade and a half.
	4:03pm arb: anyone here have the winning mega millions ticket for tonight?
	4:03pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Sem @4:01 We were told "And then we made it to Canada, where we lived Happily Ever After — end of story."
	4:03pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:02 That is true. North America gets inundated from several directions
	4:03pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Trains Interlock" by "Quartz Locked" This track is awesome. Already heard three languages, loads of different sound effects and instruments, different sections, rhythms.
	4:04pm arb: Bleeding Edge was so funny but I got really lost and confused in y2k tech jargon
	🧂 4:05pm WR: ↳ WR @4:03 except I now recall hearing about Inherent Vice as a movie but didn't follow up. Time.
	4:05pm arb: oh I forgot Inherent Vice, I've read 3.2 of his then
	4:05pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ StringOFperils @4:03 I come here for the Australian waste disposal lectures, but I stay for the debunking of nationalist propaganda.
	4:05pm Kat in Chicago: Cool track indeed. I feel my joie de vivre returning
	4:06pm ifny: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:02 Yes, it's only very recently that there's been any media attention paid to enslaved people north of the 49th. The project of white supremacy, land expropriation, enslavement and genocide goes deep and wide, as does its denial and in/voluntary amnesia. Solidarity to you and yours! I'm really glad those museums are up and telling important stories.
	4:06pm arb: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:05 Adding this testimony to my press kit <3
	4:06pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:05 I think I'm here for the debunking of pretty much everything. And I come away with a smile, to boot. It's very refreshing.
	4:07pm ifny: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:05 Haha yes classic WFMU board spirals and brilliant exchanges <3
	4:07pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ ifny @4:06 I am so glad these stories are being told. I want to go back to NS and learn even more.
	4:08pm arb: ↳ StringOFperils @4:06 More for my press kit, I'm glowing. Like my power animal the glow worm which is technically a maggot.
	4:09pm ifny: My friend Khari is doing some great music on the subject khariwendellmcclelland.com
	4:09pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ ifny @4:07 Thank Kenzo and his threaded comment feature for making these tangents and digressions fun and followable!
	4:09pm StringOFperils: The story of Africville is a very interesting Canadian story that hasn't really been explored until recent years, at least not in the pallid-complected community
	🧂 4:09pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Rubber Rituals III" by "Anna Gardeck" Love this!
	4:10pm arb: Me too, Chresti! XO
	4:10pm ifny: This whole show is blowing my mind today, thank you so much @arb for creating space and place for us today!
	4:11pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:09 This is kicking my bum!!
	4:12pm Gaylord Fields: Holy crap! I forgot I have work to do before my workday ends soon! (That is my most ringing endorsement of The Arbitrarium.)
	4:12pm arb: ↳ ifny @4:10 My pleasure!!! XO
	4:12pm ifny: I saw glow-worms in the woods once. To spot them you have to not look at them.
	4:13pm arb: I saw them once deep in the steppe of Tasmania
	4:13pm ifny: Have a great workday Gaylord! Pleasure chatting with you today! Kick the butt out of that work!
	🧂 4:13pm chresti: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:09 Al hail Kenzo!
	4:14pm arb: Thanks for dropping in Gaylord!
	4:14pm ifny: ↳ arb @4:13 A.I. hail Kenzo!
	4:16pm StringOFperils: Good luck, Gaylord. Don't let the Arbitrarium show up on your permanent record.
	4:17pm Little Danny: this is great
	4:18pm arb: hi LD, agreed <3
	4:18pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ arb @4:14 @arb @SOp @ifny: Thanks for the sounds and discourse, respectively, and I'll be back here once I do the bare minimum to stay employed.
	4:19pm Ridonkulous: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:12 There's a black community on Salt Spring Island in BC, too. I don't know their history exactly.
	4:20pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:19 Thanks! Next time I'm in B.C. I will visit. I'm quite interested in the African Diaspora outside the U.S.
	4:21pm StringOFperils: There was an early black community near London, Ontario that was an important terminus of the 'underground railroad. Look up the story of Josiah Henson. His farmstead is still there today.
	4:22pm arb: more aussie accents :)
	🧂 4:22pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Health Benefits Of Drinking Your Menstrual Bl... LOL
	4:22pm Kat in Chicago: Oh my
	4:23pm Ridonkulous: What accent is this exactly?
	4:23pm StringOFperils: A veritable iron mine.
	4:23pm Kat in Chicago: I’m sure this is based on solid medical evidence
	🧂 4:24pm Aitch: ↳ Ridonkulous @4:23 Actual australian accent
	4:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:13 Hiya cresti!
	4:24pm Ridonkulous: She really does make it sound wholesome.
	🧂 4:24pm chresti: I've heard of eating afterbirth but not menstrual blood
	4:24pm Gaylord Fields: ↳ StringOFperils @4:21 I am familiar with Henson and his role. (By the way, my gateway to all things Black Canadian was, of all people, Chicago Cubs pitcher Ferguson Jenkins!)
	🧂 4:24pm chresti: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:24 Hi Andrew!
	4:24pm Kat in Chicago: No longer an option for me :)
	🧂 4:24pm Aitch: Cannibal black-pudding?
	4:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ ifny @4:12 That`s incredible. Have you ever seen fireflys? Thanks.
	4:25pm arb: she had me until smoothie
	4:25pm spodiodi: 🥴
	🧂 4:25pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Health Benefits Of Drinking Your Menstrual Bl... It's good for your beautiful buddy
	4:25pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @4:25 What, why? Wholesome, like I said.
	4:26pm Little Danny: ↳ chresti @4:25 haha
	4:26pm Shineman: WFT
	🧂 4:26pm Aitch: Hope she never meets Gweneth Paltrow, the resulting products would be hideous
	4:26pm arb: ↳ chresti @4:25 ;)
	4:26pm arb: Hi Shineman!
	🧂 4:26pm chresti: ↳ Aitch @4:26 haha
	4:26pm StringOFperils: ↳ Gaylord Fields @4:24 I'm happy that you know about Mr. Henson's story. It's a harrowing one, and an inspiring one.
	4:27pm Shineman: I turn on the vol. and drinking blood !
	🧂 4:27pm chresti: ↳ Aitch @4:26 Semen facial goop mask
	4:27pm Shineman: Hi
	4:30pm Kat in Chicago: I’m on the app so I can’t clickystar
	🧂 4:30pm chresti: Yeah, don't forget the clicky-stars!
	4:31pm StringOFperils: I find myself bereft of all will and agency, so I can't clicky star anything.
	4:33pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:27 Holy smokes!
	4:33pm ifny mobile: I can clicky-star in the app, though I often have to hit pause and play again for the star function to offer itself.
	4:33pm Kat in Chicago: Waking up with The Arbitrarium would be amazing
	4:33pm Feldy: LOVE the two-hour tour-de-force
	🧂 4:34pm Aitch: My rabbit makes me get up Arb
	4:34pm Shineman: Comes up on mine
	🧂 4:36pm Aitch: ↳ Kat in Chicago @4:33 at time +16 hours down here when the weirder shows are on are often primetime, it's awesome
	4:38pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "The Temple Of Eros" by "Kathy Acker" I don't think I have ever heard Kathy Acker read her writing. Pretty cool track.
	4:39pm arb: I loooooove her scathing voice sooooo much
	4:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ StringOFperils @4:31 This might be the greatest/worst message board ever!
	4:39pm Rich in Washington: DJ problems: trying to put a show playlist together and Discogs is down.
	🧂 4:39pm chresti: arb gets the "I've never heard this before' award!
	4:40pm arb: Hi Rich!
	4:40pm StringOFperils: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:39 We're working on it. But the soundtrack to the chat is a poke in the brain on a whole other level.
	🧂 4:40pm Aitch: ↳ chresti @4:39 She really does, why I love her so.
	4:41pm Rich in Washington: Hiya, arb! Hi everybody!
	🧂 4:41pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:41 You too Rich!
	4:42pm Kat in Chicago: Rich, does that mean you’re gonna have to draw pictures of all the album covers tonight
	🧂 4:43pm chresti: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:41 Hi Rich!
	4:43pm StringOFperils: She didn't even make any concessions to clarity of what she's saying; it's buried in gunge all the way
	4:44pm Mr. Oxford: Hi Rich!
	🧂 4:44pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:39 Discogs seems ok from here.
	4:44pm Feldy: ↳ Kat in Chicago @4:42 Either that or use an AI bot (no no no)
	4:45pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @4:39 You`re right crestikins!
	4:45pm StringOFperils: I think I'll request that this gets played at my funeral.
	🧂 4:45pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Temple Of Eros" by "Kathy Acker" Sounds like she's in a temple
	🧂 4:46pm solo mon: ↳ Kat in Chicago @3:58 yes im relishing in that fact. just got out of another meeting!

	4:47pm Andrew in Toronto: What a great show! Thanks arb!
	4:48pm Little Danny: thank you aitch so would the jokes!!!
	4:48pm Rich in Washington: This IS awesome! I've been listening since the start, puttering about the house, picking out records, etc.
	4:48pm Ridonkulous: ↳ StringOFperils @4:45 This would be nice at a Bar Mitzvah.
	4:49pm ifny: Kathy Acker FTW. Today's show is pure joy for me today. Thank you for all the gifts @arb
	4:49pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @4:47 I'll see if I can line up some dead fish to fill the empty chairs. The position's open if you really want it, LD, but be sure to make it unintelligible, just in case someone shows up
	4:49pm ifny: I also just wanted to say "Kathy Acker FTW".
	4:50pm Little Danny: okay can do stringy see you soon haha!!!
	4:51pm arb: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:48 Thanks Rich!
	4:51pm arb: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:47 Thanks Andrew!
	4:51pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "The Temple Of Eros" by "Kathy Acker" Great show Arb. Thanks for especially playing this track and reminding me of Kathy Acker, a writer whom I still have to read. This kind of reminds me of a William S. Burroughs recording of a short story of his with Kurt Cobain playing guitar in the background. I know Acker was inspired by Burroughs.
	4:51pm arb: ↳ ifny @4:49 Hell yeah! Thank you ifny!
	4:51pm Ridonkulous: "Reading Kathy Acker" by Walter Scott coopercolegallery.com...
	4:52pm arb: ↳ Mr. Oxford @4:51 Yes Mr. Oxford, thanks for dropping in today!!
	4:53pm ifny: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @4:39 Why would this be the worst chat board ever? I see nothing but gold here. And I'm a goldologist.
	4:54pm ifny: Acker interviewing Burroughs in 1988 allenginsberg.org...
	4:54pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ ifny @4:53 I was being facetious!
	4:55pm StringOFperils: ↳ ifny @4:53 I agree 100%. This is the finest roach powder of dialogue in here. Money back guarantee. You buy in now. We very clean.
	4:55pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ ifny @4:54 Interesting. Thanks for sharing the link!

	🧂 4:58pm chresti: Thanks president arb!
	4:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks Arb! A high colonic of the mind. Whoooosh.
	4:59pm spodiodi: thanks arb! 🖖
	4:59pm ifny: ↳ Mr. Oxford @4:55 You're welcome :) For the record, I prefer Acker. Not only for her writing, but that she generally didn't murder / cover up murders of comrades/lovers/colleagues.
	5:00pm arb: ↳ chresti @4:58 Welcome Chresti XO
	🧂 5:00pm Aitch: Deeply odd, just the way we like it

	5:00pm arb: ↳ spodiodi @4:59 <3 Spodi!
	5:00pm Ridonkulous: The show that makes me feel like a Cheshire Cat. Thank you, arb!
	5:01pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ ifny @4:59 Yep, I have to agree Burroughs did horrible things. Not a likeable guy at all.
	5:01pm arb: ↳ Aitch @5:00 <3
	5:01pm arb: ↳ Kat in Chicago @5:00 XO Kat! hope you don't have any more meetings for a while

	🧂 5:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, ARB. Don't slip off the atmospheric riverbank!
	5:03pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @5:03 Exactly like that!
	5:04pm arb: the best thing about being a teen in kansas city in the 90s was the diner where burroughs ate brains and eggs every monday
	5:04pm Rich in Washington: THanks arb!
	🧂 5:05pm WR: Sigh, feeling rested. Thank you, ARB.
	5:05pm Ridonkulous: ↳ arb @5:04 Wow! You saw him in action?

	5:06pm spodiodi: happy friday the 13th
	5:07pm Ridonkulous: Heeeee Haaaaw!
