	3:22pm patrick321: Hey Paul and all. Great fcking tune. RIP Tom.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: pglub yeah. rest in peace.
	3:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No REM or Bunnymen as we know them without Television. So many acknowledging the influence now. Who else most notable ? 'MarqueeMoon' the album I have likened to 'Blonde On Blonde' - that level of Alchemy of Poetry, Performance & Sound. Top20 Albums Ever.
	3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abbe from Mars last night emphasizing not just the Gittar - but the Songwriting. Very much On Point.
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: i love it when Patti's audibly pounding on her chest while singing the verse. now she'll really pound it.
	3:25pm PJ: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:23 @Rev. Rabbit: U2
	3:25pm Hoboken Jack: PEEEEEEEEETE!!
	3:25pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "Break It Up" by "Patti Smith" Perfect Patti choon for this set
	3:25pm DJ PB: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:23 A guiding light for many (no pun intended)
	3:26pm DJ PB: ↳ DJ Terre T @3:25 Verlaine co-wrote and plays gtr on it!!
	3:26pm McGroovey: ↳ rx scabin @3:18 Or the vague center of everywhere? It's all a matter of perspective.
	3:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Altogether too many Gittarists I wanna play like dying this month. Hard to convey the effect of this.
	3:27pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Terre, hi McGroove
	3:28pm pgalub: JAAAAACK!
	3:28pm DJ Terre T: ↳ DJ PB @3:26 I know... was just listening to this lp earlier this week sadly ironically
	3:28pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "Breakin' in My Heart" by "Tom Verlaine" The solo on this is one of my faves. :(
	3:29pm Franco Twinkie: THIS is breaking MY heart.
	3:29pm PB (Not the DJ): Let’s not forget that Verlaine put out some very good solo stuff as well.
	3:30pm DJ PB: ↳ DJ Terre T @3:28 I should have known you knew, Terre! Sorry to Ver-splain! (oof)
	3:31pm feinianbastard: Yep-love Verlaine's solo LP "Dreamtime".
	3:32pm morphe': PB in the A !!!
	3:34pm Xangoir: Ghost dog !!
	3:34pm DJ Terre T: ↳ DJ PB @3:30 Its good informational note for this set for everybody
	3:35pm morphe': https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/29/tom-verlaine-television-perfectionist-guitar-genius-always-kept-punk-guessing
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PB (Not the DJ) @3:29 It's true - I worship 'MarqueeMoon' but remain ignorant of most of the rest. Even this Major an Artist is an Obituary Discovery for me ...with all the huge conflicted feelings of that.
	3:36pm K8: Hey DJ PB and everyone! It's been a while since I've been able to check in on a Sunday and I'm so excited! RIP Tom Verlaine...great first set...
	3:37pm Hörer Christoph: I don't know anybody who didn't love Television
	3:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ morphe' @3:35 Thx
	3:39pm HyperDose: K8!!!
	3:39pm K8: ↳ HyperDose @3:39 Happy Sunday, HyperDose! Hope you had a great weekend...
	3:40pm morphe': When I worked at Barnes & Nobles in '79 (annex = 2nd hand and Remainders)Verlaine used to come in early on Sundays to browse - A woman started working and siad she so sought the job and the Sunday shift cause she knew TV came in regularly ... she did not last long...
	3:41pm Mike Sin: I quite enjoyed that first set.
	3:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Kate and HyperD!
	3:41pm K8: ↳ morphe' @3:40 Ah, morphe, you got the best stories..are you back in NYC now?
	3:42pm morphe': ↳ K8 @3:36 Sorry I missed the gig ... running a HomeBound Senior Service over here ... hopefully 4March !!!!
	3:42pm K8: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:41 Hey there, Jack!
	3:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Paul and Bruno brand.
	3:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Hörer Christoph @3:37 my older brother made fun of me for liking television in the late 70s. he liked contemporaries blondie and talking heads... i don't know why, and maybe he'd have changed his tune had he made it into the 90s... but, not everybody.
	3:43pm K8: ↳ morphe' @3:42 No worries, morphe! There are always more shows...the March 4 @ Windjammer has Girls on Grass and Elk City on the bill, too. Should be fantastic...but Handy and I can come visit you before then, too!
	3:44pm DJ PB: Hey everyone! I wish i could respond to all of you but no more 15 minute songs this week! Thanks for checking in though!!
	3:45pm K8: ↳ DJ PB @3:44 You're a star, DJ PB! Do it!
	3:45pm coelacanth∅: K8 i hope you (&/or Handy) make it known if you ever do play up in new paltz. i rarely go to the pub now so i probably won't know otherwise.
	3:46pm morphe': R&R Boohshop jobs encounters: Joey = gregarious TV - aloof Johnny R = hostile visage below the fringe ...
	3:47pm hifivicky: hi PB! the TV tribute was great, thank you. also that The Tubs song is splendid and the first entry to my 2023 playlist so thanks for that too
	3:47pm Richy4619: what's up with the pop-up player text? it's not displaying show headlines? before it was mangled garbage text too. something's up
	3:47pm HyperDose: Hey Jack! Last night's chicken parm looked questionable. Glad it worked out in your favor!
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:43 Imagine liking Talking Heads & not Television ? (...to Mainstream types - the Heads are probly their initial comparison to Television - as peabrained as that seems to us...) Conversely, Blondie never quite 'stuck to my ribs' like they have everyone else's ...but maybe they don't have to for me to dig 'em properly ...anyway...
	3:48pm K8: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:45 Hi coela! I so love the area up around New Paltz, so hopefully we'll figure out a way to get up there spring/summer...will definitely let you know!
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: hi Richy i don't use the pop-up player but i just checked it and mine's working okay here
	3:49pm rx scabin: Dinner is prepped, and the Martini has been consumed
	3:49pm Richy4619: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:48 shoot. maybe something's up with my browser? i suddenly can't paste my unicode emoticons the same either. hmph
	3:50pm DJ PB: ↳ hifivicky @3:47 Thanks, vicky!
	3:51pm HyperDose: ↳ K8 @3:39 Thanks, K8. Sounds like you blew the roof off the place. All is well across the river. About to "bathe" the cat with foaming shampoo. Did her nails first as a precaution 😸
	3:51pm DJ PB: ↳ Richy4619 @3:49 I'll be every IT guy in the world and say "Have you tried restarting?"
	3:52pm K8: ↳ HyperDose @3:51 Whoa, HyperDose! Proceed with caution...
	3:53pm coelacanth∅: RR yeah -it's odd to me, but...i hate to say it but it may've had to do with Verlaine's image on the album cover, possibly perceived as somewhat effeminate? ...or maybe he just wanted to hate something i liked! (especially since i liked blondie and talking heads before he did)
	3:54pm coelacanth∅: ('wish i could ask him)
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:53 Ah ...the politics of dancing. Odd but there we are...
	3:55pm rx scabin: This.
	3:56pm hifivicky: yessss! I love the Reds Pinks Purples ❤🩷💜
	3:57pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "I've Got Something On My Mind" by "The Left Banke" Lookit u playin da Left Lanke--nice mix!
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: RR yup. silly sibling rivalry. my younger sister still partakes! me: not guilty.
	3:58pm hifivicky: and perfect segue into the left banke
	3:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Gone For Good" by "The Shins" and nice segue from the left banke
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:58 Brother oldest of five - me universal PosterChild for birth order babies. Yeah ...I know.
	4:00pm Richy4619: ↳ DJ PB @3:51 yes! and i've tried blowing on the keyboard, rubbing my head and belly at once too...
	4:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:00 haha Rabbit i cannot relate! -being the middle child. the eldest was (is) a female, and always been too ridiculous to be looked upon with the regard the first one usually is or should be.
	4:06pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "I Had An Excellent Dream" by "The Dentists" The Dentists were one of my favorites of the '90s. I guess they started in the eighties, but I heard them first in the nineties.
	4:07pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Paul your show is 🔥🔥🔥 today!!
	4:10pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @4:07 agreed!
	4:12pm dave: Hell yeah!!
	4:12pm DJ PB: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @4:07 Thank you, Jeff!!
	4:14pm prof.fuzz: last night at our show, there was this couple who danced to nearly every song. it was energizing. later, after our set, they came over and apologized, "in case they were disruptive." i assured them they were welcome to dance and we enjoyed watching them have fun. they then explained that they had just been yelled at for dancing at a charlie croockett honky tonk show... jeeez. what is this world coming to? get up and dance, dammit!
	4:15pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "The Things That You Do" by "BOB" This is rather early XTC/ Red Noise-ish.
	4:17pm coelacanth∅: prof.fuzz i was once kicked out of b.b.king's in nyc for dancing
	4:17pm McGroovey: ↳ prof.fuzz @4:14 Don't people dance at honky tonks? Seems like dancing would be a part of the deal.
	4:18pm coelacanth∅: (and for the record, in case you've ever seen me dance, it wasn't me dancing, but my girlfriend and another female friend!)
	4:18pm prof.fuzz: @coel: badge of honor! @mcG: exactly! if you can't dance at a honky tonk show, where can you dance???
	4:19pm RobinSays: I'm totally loving the music on your show today Paul. Really great...
	4:19pm JL: [butthead voice]huh huh what the hell is this
	4:20pm RobinSays: I'm totally loving the music on your show today Paul. Really great...
	4:20pm McGroovey: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:17 When was this? Clubs in NYC used to have to have a particular license in order to allow dancing. This one of the reasons the pogo arose. Not sure when that ended? Maybe in the eighties. But it's one reason that NYC clubs can be so cross-armed even today.
	4:21pm dave: Great set!
	4:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: DEVO!
	4:22pm DJ PB: ↳ McGroovey @4:20 Those no dancing laws were definitely still in place in the early 21st century! Clubs and bars were getting fined constantyl!
	4:23pm DJ PB: Thanks dave! Thanks Robin!
	4:23pm hifivicky: haha great dancy devo! my fave will always be "gut feeling" tho
	4:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ McGroovey @4:20 i wonder if nyc has a similar puppetry law???
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Beautiful World" by "Devo" ' DEVO-struction Live 1988 off -the- board concert at legendary City Gardens in NJ ' : wfmu.org...
	4:26pm K8: ↳ prof.fuzz @4:25 Hey prof.fuzz! Dancing puppets are extremely dangerous, especially if they are vengeful owls. I know from experience, as do you.
	4:26pm coelacanth∅: McGroovey it was c.1991. after they got told the first time "no dancing" i asked the bartender who said "insurance reasons".
	4:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ K8 @4:26 they must be regulated!
	4:27pm hifivicky: this Anthony Moore is GREAT
	4:28pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "Cloudbusting" by "Kate Bush" Omg probably one of fave KateB choons of all time ❣️😭❤️
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: Terre T i concur
	4:29pm McGroovey: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:26 Insurance companies can be cruel masters.
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: "you look too small to be a threat to the men in power"
	4:30pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:25 Right on RevoRabbit for the '88 DEVO live set link recently broadcast on RnS stream DropIN!
	4:31pm efd: ↳ Song: "Party Boy" by "The Cosmopolitans" aw nuts, I was working on editing my interview for this week's show and missed the Cosmopolitans!
	4:33pm rx scabin: ↳ McGroovey @4:20 cabaret license
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DJ Terre T @4:30 It's so good ! Devo tight but energetic & sounding like they're having a great time. A genuine treat.
	4:34pm DJ PB: ↳ efd @4:31 To paraphrase Pee Wee Herman, you don't have to hear it... you lived it.
	4:35pm K8: ↳ efd @4:31 The Cosmopolitans sound fantastic, efd! That singer! Damn! And of course the drums...did you ever do any vocals too?
	4:36pm efd: ↳ DJ PB @4:34 ha! True, although that was the great Robert Crenshaw drumming on that particular track!
	4:36pm DJ Terre T: ↳ efd @4:31 Congrats and kudos my DJ brother!
	4:37pm efd: ↳ K8 @4:35 I did backing vocals on a few songs. Most of the recorded drums you hear aren't me, though! Mitch Easter on the single, and the aforementioned Robert Crenshaw on most other tracks on this new collection.
	4:37pm hifivicky: that wax idols song made me do impromptu aerobics in my kitchen, high kicks even
	4:37pm efd: ↳ DJ Terre T @4:36 Thanks! Now I just need to sit back and wait for the checks to arrive!
	4:38pm efd: As I learned in 5th grade, "a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with."
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ K8 @4:35 Saw an efd post on fb of the CosmosComp ...evidently a Theatrical Collective of a band in a way ? A very interesting project to be involved in !
	4:39pm DJ Terre T: L😹L PB
	4:40pm K8: ↳ efd @4:37 Ah, well, we'll have to find a Cosmopolitans record that features you on the drums soon! I'm a big fan of drummers that sing, too. Nothing better...
	4:40pm efd: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:38 I'll let frontwoman Jamie have the last word on the history of the Cosmopolitans: pleasekillme.com...
	4:40pm K8: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:38 Dang, I'll have to check that out...thank you!
	4:40pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Got up a little while ago. Love the 80's going on here....
	4:42pm RobinSays: Audio Prune Juice! Now that's a band name, Paul.
	4:43pm herb.nyc: re prepositions, this will be fun: Ellen Jovin @GrammarTable- If you are (1) free this Wed Feb 1, 5:30pm, (2) in or about to be in NYC, and (3) grammatically geeky or at least curious about the lifestyle, please come to my Yorkville Library talk at 222 E 79th! NYC
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: it's true though. i sold a prized cure record for 80 bucks. the buyer said he had no plans to ever play it. it's going on his wall. what a shame.
	4:43pm efd: ↳ Song: "Party Boy" by "The Cosmopolitans" I think they just haven't updated their Bandcamp since last year — the vinyl is out!
	4:44pm K8: Hehe those are my words, thanks Paul!
	4:45pm Marc15: I used to love the song “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush; but then I watched “Stranger Things” Season 4 and hearing that song terrifies me
	4:45pm K8: ↳ K8 @4:44 Whoa...you're K8? I'm K8, too! Two K8s! This has happened to me before...we're everywhere!
	4:46pm Marc15: I should mention that I am a Generation Xer
	4:46pm prof.fuzz: ↳ K8 @4:45 we're in K16 land now!
	4:47pm K8: Hi K8! I know a few people with my full name too- wasnt signed in previously.. here we are
	4:50pm Mike: No offence to the present company, but historically, I've had better luck with K9s than K8s.
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not even the only Revolution Rabbit in this world - hence the 'Nov63'. Which - is too long.
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: haha profffuzzz
	4:53pm Mike: My name is so common, I'm basically ungoogleable, which is nice.
	4:54pm K8: ↳ K8 @4:47 K8s for the win!
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...K8.1, K8.2 ...hell my actual name is Dave. Try that for a while.
	4:55pm swivs: Nice one today!
	4:55pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Party Boy" by "The Cosmopolitans" My actually last name is so uncommon (especially in my spelling) that it's always available as a user name.
	4:56pm dave: Thanks!!
	4:56pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "New Band" by "New Buck Biloxi" i wonder if this guy's in a new band...
	4:57pm McGroovey: If you can sleep my last name right, you can probably find everything about me. Fortunately (kinda), most people can't spell it right.
	4:57pm Mike: I grew up in a town of ~18k people and went to to high-school with someone who had the same first and last name (unrelated).
	4:58pm DJ PB: ↳ swivs @4:55 Thanks, Swivy!
	4:58pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @4:57 If you can SPELL my last name right...
	4:58pm Todd76Pct: Thanks for the gray sky bashing show today, RIP, Tom V/Miller!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: when i first got on facadebook but before i got off facadebook someone with my name tried to "friend" me -which i ignored (not by hitting "ignore", bu t by ignoring) but i looked at his account and he had 16 other "friends" with the same name. ...and my brother's name was Mike.
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ McGroovey @4:57 'Sleep my last name' sounds kinda BrothersGrimm tho.
	4:59pm DJ PB: Thanks for listening everyone, named K8 or otherwise! Stay tuned and see you next week!
	4:59pm coelacanth∅: (but my sisters had somewhat less common names. i think that scenario is common.)
	5:00pm radioronan: Thanks Paul Bruno!
	5:00pm rx scabin: Thank you, DJ PB. Fabulous as always.
	5:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks DJ PB
	5:00pm K8: Aw, jeez, it's time! Thanks, Paul! So great to catch the show today...I've been missing it for too long!
	5:00pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "D.I.E. in Indiana" by "Lazy Cowgirls" I had no idea that the Lazy Cowgirls sound like this. I'd always assumed the were a female country/cowfolk/cowpunk band.
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "D.I.E. in Indiana" by "Lazy Cowgirls" This makes me ponder - just reading that article via morphe @ 3:35 - if Tom Verlaine is exalted as being Punk that wasn't 'Punk' - how much about Punk that is 'Punk' derives in turn from RichardHell ?
	5:01pm prof.fuzz: thanks DJ PB!
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it would save time if we could just call you Bruce... ~ TY Always DJ PB ~ Delivering fo sho.
	5:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, DJ PB! Have a great Sunday, all!
	5:03pm DJ Terre T: Great show PB!

	2:59pm prof.fuzz: afternoon, y'all
	3:00pm rx scabin: Hello, DJ PB and Everyone.
	3:03pm Benjamin: Seeing Television perform this at CBGB's in 1976 was the greatest concert experience of my life
	3:07pm bobob plasticland: is this the one Eno did???Tom Verlaine RIP .met him thru Brian Ritchie..me and Tom talked Sun Ra ...a really Really nice guy ....sad 😢😭
	3:09pm Benjamin: most sublime guitar break ever
	3:12pm McGroovey: ↳ bobob plasticland @3:07 I think Eno did early studio recordings. This is from the ROIR live cassette (later a CD).
	3:13pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey DJ PB, gang! RIP Tom Verlaine...Jersey guy done good.
	3:13pm Yes: 😎😎😎
	3:14pm DJ Terre T: Hiya PB- nice one to open with- Rest In Peace Tom Verlaine
	3:16pm rx scabin: I remember trying to get my friends to listen to and like Television, or at least appreciate Television back in "79 Failed, or more like, they failed. No longer friends.
	3:16pm Hoboken Jack: Wazzup rockers!!
	3:18pm rx scabin: ↳ McGroovey @3:12 Hello from Warsaw, the middle of Nowhere.
	3:19pm pgalub: This case is closed. :(
	3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Prove It" by "Television" Eno Demo : www.youtube.com...
	3:21pm rx scabin: The vocals changed the world.
	3:21pm DJ PB: Sup Jack! Hello Rx! Hiya Terre! Yo Yes! What's happening Pauly! Greetings McGroovey! Good afternoon, prof.fuzz! Howdy Benjamin! Happy new year RR63! Welcome Pete! Hey Bob! Thanks for joinging me today in Radioloand!!
	3:22pm patrick321: Hey Paul and all. Great fcking tune. RIP Tom.
	3:22pm coelacanth∅: pglub yeah. rest in peace.
	3:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No REM or Bunnymen as we know them without Television. So many acknowledging the influence now. Who else most notable ? 'MarqueeMoon' the album I have likened to 'Blonde On Blonde' - that level of Alchemy of Poetry, Performance & Sound. Top20 Albums Ever.
	3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abbe from Mars last night emphasizing not just the Gittar - but the Songwriting. Very much On Point.
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: i love it when Patti's audibly pounding on her chest while singing the verse. now she'll really pound it.
	3:25pm PJ: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:23 @Rev. Rabbit: U2
	3:25pm Hoboken Jack: PEEEEEEEEETE!!
	3:25pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "Break It Up" by "Patti Smith" Perfect Patti choon for this set
	3:25pm DJ PB: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @3:23 A guiding light for many (no pun intended)
	3:26pm DJ PB: ↳ DJ Terre T @3:25 Verlaine co-wrote and plays gtr on it!!
	3:26pm McGroovey: ↳ rx scabin @3:18 Or the vague center of everywhere? It's all a matter of perspective.
	3:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Altogether too many Gittarists I wanna play like dying this month. Hard to convey the effect of this.
	3:27pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Terre, hi McGroove
	3:28pm pgalub: JAAAAACK!
	3:28pm DJ Terre T: ↳ DJ PB @3:26 I know... was just listening to this lp earlier this week sadly ironically
	3:28pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "Breakin' in My Heart" by "Tom Verlaine" The solo on this is one of my faves. :(
	3:29pm Franco Twinkie: THIS is breaking MY heart.
	3:29pm PB (Not the DJ): Let’s not forget that Verlaine put out some very good solo stuff as well.
	3:30pm DJ PB: ↳ DJ Terre T @3:28 I should have known you knew, Terre! Sorry to Ver-splain! (oof)
	3:31pm feinianbastard: Yep-love Verlaine's solo LP "Dreamtime".
	3:32pm morphe': PB in the A !!!
	3:34pm Xangoir: Ghost dog !!
	3:34pm DJ Terre T: ↳ DJ PB @3:30 Its good informational note for this set for everybody
	3:35pm morphe': https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/29/tom-verlaine-television-perfectionist-guitar-genius-always-kept-punk-guessing
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ PB (Not the DJ) @3:29 It's true - I worship 'MarqueeMoon' but remain ignorant of most of the rest. Even this Major an Artist is an Obituary Discovery for me ...with all the huge conflicted feelings of that.
	3:36pm K8: Hey DJ PB and everyone! It's been a while since I've been able to check in on a Sunday and I'm so excited! RIP Tom Verlaine...great first set...
	3:37pm Hörer Christoph: I don't know anybody who didn't love Television
	3:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ morphe' @3:35 Thx
	3:39pm HyperDose: K8!!!
	3:39pm K8: ↳ HyperDose @3:39 Happy Sunday, HyperDose! Hope you had a great weekend...
	3:40pm morphe': When I worked at Barnes & Nobles in '79 (annex = 2nd hand and Remainders)Verlaine used to come in early on Sundays to browse - A woman started working and siad she so sought the job and the Sunday shift cause she knew TV came in regularly ... she did not last long...
	3:41pm Mike Sin: I quite enjoyed that first set.
	3:41pm Hoboken Jack: Hey Kate and HyperD!
	3:41pm K8: ↳ morphe' @3:40 Ah, morphe, you got the best stories..are you back in NYC now?
	3:42pm morphe': ↳ K8 @3:36 Sorry I missed the gig ... running a HomeBound Senior Service over here ... hopefully 4March !!!!
	3:42pm K8: ↳ Hoboken Jack @3:41 Hey there, Jack!
	3:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Paul and Bruno brand.
	3:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Hörer Christoph @3:37 my older brother made fun of me for liking television in the late 70s. he liked contemporaries blondie and talking heads... i don't know why, and maybe he'd have changed his tune had he made it into the 90s... but, not everybody.
	3:43pm K8: ↳ morphe' @3:42 No worries, morphe! There are always more shows...the March 4 @ Windjammer has Girls on Grass and Elk City on the bill, too. Should be fantastic...but Handy and I can come visit you before then, too!
	3:44pm DJ PB: Hey everyone! I wish i could respond to all of you but no more 15 minute songs this week! Thanks for checking in though!!
	3:45pm K8: ↳ DJ PB @3:44 You're a star, DJ PB! Do it!
	3:45pm coelacanth∅: K8 i hope you (&/or Handy) make it known if you ever do play up in new paltz. i rarely go to the pub now so i probably won't know otherwise.
	3:46pm morphe': R&R Boohshop jobs encounters: Joey = gregarious TV - aloof Johnny R = hostile visage below the fringe ...
	3:47pm hifivicky: hi PB! the TV tribute was great, thank you. also that The Tubs song is splendid and the first entry to my 2023 playlist so thanks for that too
	3:47pm Richy4619: what's up with the pop-up player text? it's not displaying show headlines? before it was mangled garbage text too. something's up
	3:47pm HyperDose: Hey Jack! Last night's chicken parm looked questionable. Glad it worked out in your favor!
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:43 Imagine liking Talking Heads & not Television ? (...to Mainstream types - the Heads are probly their initial comparison to Television - as peabrained as that seems to us...) Conversely, Blondie never quite 'stuck to my ribs' like they have everyone else's ...but maybe they don't have to for me to dig 'em properly ...anyway...
	3:48pm K8: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:45 Hi coela! I so love the area up around New Paltz, so hopefully we'll figure out a way to get up there spring/summer...will definitely let you know!
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: hi Richy i don't use the pop-up player but i just checked it and mine's working okay here
	3:49pm rx scabin: Dinner is prepped, and the Martini has been consumed
	3:49pm Richy4619: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:48 shoot. maybe something's up with my browser? i suddenly can't paste my unicode emoticons the same either. hmph
	3:50pm DJ PB: ↳ hifivicky @3:47 Thanks, vicky!
	3:51pm HyperDose: ↳ K8 @3:39 Thanks, K8. Sounds like you blew the roof off the place. All is well across the river. About to "bathe" the cat with foaming shampoo. Did her nails first as a precaution 😸
	3:51pm DJ PB: ↳ Richy4619 @3:49 I'll be every IT guy in the world and say "Have you tried restarting?"
	3:52pm K8: ↳ HyperDose @3:51 Whoa, HyperDose! Proceed with caution...
	3:53pm coelacanth∅: RR yeah -it's odd to me, but...i hate to say it but it may've had to do with Verlaine's image on the album cover, possibly perceived as somewhat effeminate? ...or maybe he just wanted to hate something i liked! (especially since i liked blondie and talking heads before he did)
	3:54pm coelacanth∅: ('wish i could ask him)
	3:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:53 Ah ...the politics of dancing. Odd but there we are...
	3:55pm rx scabin: This.
	3:56pm hifivicky: yessss! I love the Reds Pinks Purples ❤🩷💜
	3:57pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "I've Got Something On My Mind" by "The Left Banke" Lookit u playin da Left Lanke--nice mix!
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: RR yup. silly sibling rivalry. my younger sister still partakes! me: not guilty.
	3:58pm hifivicky: and perfect segue into the left banke
	3:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Gone For Good" by "The Shins" and nice segue from the left banke
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ coelacanth∅ @3:58 Brother oldest of five - me universal PosterChild for birth order babies. Yeah ...I know.
	4:00pm Richy4619: ↳ DJ PB @3:51 yes! and i've tried blowing on the keyboard, rubbing my head and belly at once too...
	4:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:00 haha Rabbit i cannot relate! -being the middle child. the eldest was (is) a female, and always been too ridiculous to be looked upon with the regard the first one usually is or should be.
	4:06pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "I Had An Excellent Dream" by "The Dentists" The Dentists were one of my favorites of the '90s. I guess they started in the eighties, but I heard them first in the nineties.
	4:07pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Paul your show is 🔥🔥🔥 today!!
	4:10pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @4:07 agreed!
	4:12pm dave: Hell yeah!!
	4:12pm DJ PB: ↳ Jeff formerly from Rahway @4:07 Thank you, Jeff!!
	4:14pm prof.fuzz: last night at our show, there was this couple who danced to nearly every song. it was energizing. later, after our set, they came over and apologized, "in case they were disruptive." i assured them they were welcome to dance and we enjoyed watching them have fun. they then explained that they had just been yelled at for dancing at a charlie croockett honky tonk show... jeeez. what is this world coming to? get up and dance, dammit!
	4:15pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "The Things That You Do" by "BOB" This is rather early XTC/ Red Noise-ish.
	4:17pm coelacanth∅: prof.fuzz i was once kicked out of b.b.king's in nyc for dancing
	4:17pm McGroovey: ↳ prof.fuzz @4:14 Don't people dance at honky tonks? Seems like dancing would be a part of the deal.
	4:18pm coelacanth∅: (and for the record, in case you've ever seen me dance, it wasn't me dancing, but my girlfriend and another female friend!)
	4:18pm prof.fuzz: @coel: badge of honor! @mcG: exactly! if you can't dance at a honky tonk show, where can you dance???
	4:19pm RobinSays: I'm totally loving the music on your show today Paul. Really great...
	4:19pm JL: [butthead voice]huh huh what the hell is this
	4:20pm RobinSays: I'm totally loving the music on your show today Paul. Really great...
	4:20pm McGroovey: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:17 When was this? Clubs in NYC used to have to have a particular license in order to allow dancing. This one of the reasons the pogo arose. Not sure when that ended? Maybe in the eighties. But it's one reason that NYC clubs can be so cross-armed even today.
	4:21pm dave: Great set!
	4:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: DEVO!
	4:22pm DJ PB: ↳ McGroovey @4:20 Those no dancing laws were definitely still in place in the early 21st century! Clubs and bars were getting fined constantyl!
	4:23pm DJ PB: Thanks dave! Thanks Robin!
	4:23pm hifivicky: haha great dancy devo! my fave will always be "gut feeling" tho
	4:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ McGroovey @4:20 i wonder if nyc has a similar puppetry law???
	4:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Beautiful World" by "Devo" ' DEVO-struction Live 1988 off -the- board concert at legendary City Gardens in NJ ' : wfmu.org...
	4:26pm K8: ↳ prof.fuzz @4:25 Hey prof.fuzz! Dancing puppets are extremely dangerous, especially if they are vengeful owls. I know from experience, as do you.
	4:26pm coelacanth∅: McGroovey it was c.1991. after they got told the first time "no dancing" i asked the bartender who said "insurance reasons".
	4:26pm prof.fuzz: ↳ K8 @4:26 they must be regulated!
	4:27pm hifivicky: this Anthony Moore is GREAT
	4:28pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Song: "Cloudbusting" by "Kate Bush" Omg probably one of fave KateB choons of all time ❣️😭❤️
	4:29pm coelacanth∅: Terre T i concur
	4:29pm McGroovey: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:26 Insurance companies can be cruel masters.
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: "you look too small to be a threat to the men in power"
	4:30pm DJ Terre T: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:25 Right on RevoRabbit for the '88 DEVO live set link recently broadcast on RnS stream DropIN!
	4:31pm efd: ↳ Song: "Party Boy" by "The Cosmopolitans" aw nuts, I was working on editing my interview for this week's show and missed the Cosmopolitans!
	4:33pm rx scabin: ↳ McGroovey @4:20 cabaret license
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ DJ Terre T @4:30 It's so good ! Devo tight but energetic & sounding like they're having a great time. A genuine treat.
	4:34pm DJ PB: ↳ efd @4:31 To paraphrase Pee Wee Herman, you don't have to hear it... you lived it.
	4:35pm K8: ↳ efd @4:31 The Cosmopolitans sound fantastic, efd! That singer! Damn! And of course the drums...did you ever do any vocals too?
	4:36pm efd: ↳ DJ PB @4:34 ha! True, although that was the great Robert Crenshaw drumming on that particular track!
	4:36pm DJ Terre T: ↳ efd @4:31 Congrats and kudos my DJ brother!
	4:37pm efd: ↳ K8 @4:35 I did backing vocals on a few songs. Most of the recorded drums you hear aren't me, though! Mitch Easter on the single, and the aforementioned Robert Crenshaw on most other tracks on this new collection.
	4:37pm hifivicky: that wax idols song made me do impromptu aerobics in my kitchen, high kicks even
	4:37pm efd: ↳ DJ Terre T @4:36 Thanks! Now I just need to sit back and wait for the checks to arrive!
	4:38pm efd: As I learned in 5th grade, "a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with."
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ K8 @4:35 Saw an efd post on fb of the CosmosComp ...evidently a Theatrical Collective of a band in a way ? A very interesting project to be involved in !
	4:39pm DJ Terre T: L😹L PB
	4:40pm K8: ↳ efd @4:37 Ah, well, we'll have to find a Cosmopolitans record that features you on the drums soon! I'm a big fan of drummers that sing, too. Nothing better...
	4:40pm efd: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:38 I'll let frontwoman Jamie have the last word on the history of the Cosmopolitans: pleasekillme.com...
	4:40pm K8: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:38 Dang, I'll have to check that out...thank you!
	4:40pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Got up a little while ago. Love the 80's going on here....
	4:42pm RobinSays: Audio Prune Juice! Now that's a band name, Paul.
	4:43pm herb.nyc: re prepositions, this will be fun: Ellen Jovin @GrammarTable- If you are (1) free this Wed Feb 1, 5:30pm, (2) in or about to be in NYC, and (3) grammatically geeky or at least curious about the lifestyle, please come to my Yorkville Library talk at 222 E 79th! NYC
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: it's true though. i sold a prized cure record for 80 bucks. the buyer said he had no plans to ever play it. it's going on his wall. what a shame.
	4:43pm efd: ↳ Song: "Party Boy" by "The Cosmopolitans" I think they just haven't updated their Bandcamp since last year — the vinyl is out!
	4:44pm K8: Hehe those are my words, thanks Paul!
	4:45pm Marc15: I used to love the song “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush; but then I watched “Stranger Things” Season 4 and hearing that song terrifies me
	4:45pm K8: ↳ K8 @4:44 Whoa...you're K8? I'm K8, too! Two K8s! This has happened to me before...we're everywhere!
	4:46pm Marc15: I should mention that I am a Generation Xer
	4:46pm prof.fuzz: ↳ K8 @4:45 we're in K16 land now!
	4:47pm K8: Hi K8! I know a few people with my full name too- wasnt signed in previously.. here we are
	4:50pm Mike: No offence to the present company, but historically, I've had better luck with K9s than K8s.
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not even the only Revolution Rabbit in this world - hence the 'Nov63'. Which - is too long.
	4:53pm coelacanth∅: haha profffuzzz
	4:53pm Mike: My name is so common, I'm basically ungoogleable, which is nice.
	4:54pm K8: ↳ K8 @4:47 K8s for the win!
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...K8.1, K8.2 ...hell my actual name is Dave. Try that for a while.
	4:55pm swivs: Nice one today!
	4:55pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Party Boy" by "The Cosmopolitans" My actually last name is so uncommon (especially in my spelling) that it's always available as a user name.
	4:56pm dave: Thanks!!
	4:56pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "New Band" by "New Buck Biloxi" i wonder if this guy's in a new band...
	4:57pm McGroovey: If you can sleep my last name right, you can probably find everything about me. Fortunately (kinda), most people can't spell it right.
	4:57pm Mike: I grew up in a town of ~18k people and went to to high-school with someone who had the same first and last name (unrelated).
	4:58pm DJ PB: ↳ swivs @4:55 Thanks, Swivy!
	4:58pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @4:57 If you can SPELL my last name right...
	4:58pm Todd76Pct: Thanks for the gray sky bashing show today, RIP, Tom V/Miller!
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: when i first got on facadebook but before i got off facadebook someone with my name tried to "friend" me -which i ignored (not by hitting "ignore", bu t by ignoring) but i looked at his account and he had 16 other "friends" with the same name. ...and my brother's name was Mike.
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ McGroovey @4:57 'Sleep my last name' sounds kinda BrothersGrimm tho.
	4:59pm DJ PB: Thanks for listening everyone, named K8 or otherwise! Stay tuned and see you next week!
	4:59pm coelacanth∅: (but my sisters had somewhat less common names. i think that scenario is common.)
	5:00pm radioronan: Thanks Paul Bruno!
	5:00pm rx scabin: Thank you, DJ PB. Fabulous as always.
	5:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks DJ PB
	5:00pm K8: Aw, jeez, it's time! Thanks, Paul! So great to catch the show today...I've been missing it for too long!
	5:00pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "D.I.E. in Indiana" by "Lazy Cowgirls" I had no idea that the Lazy Cowgirls sound like this. I'd always assumed the were a female country/cowfolk/cowpunk band.
	5:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "D.I.E. in Indiana" by "Lazy Cowgirls" This makes me ponder - just reading that article via morphe @ 3:35 - if Tom Verlaine is exalted as being Punk that wasn't 'Punk' - how much about Punk that is 'Punk' derives in turn from RichardHell ?
	5:01pm prof.fuzz: thanks DJ PB!
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it would save time if we could just call you Bruce... ~ TY Always DJ PB ~ Delivering fo sho.
	5:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, DJ PB! Have a great Sunday, all!
	5:03pm DJ Terre T: Great show PB!
