	11:30am WR: writing a hello early because at the moment I'm doing nothing but I'm supposed to be working. At lease I can listen until about 1:30PM, cheers.
	11:38am Charlie: Hi WR, well I'm supposed to be doing nothing!
	11:49am βrian: Ok, pulling up my ottoman and fussing with my listening device. Good morning from the Isthmus.
	11:55am chresti: I'm very very busy standing at the tennis desk. Just fed the ravens their peanuts (threw them onto the roof, I can hear them up there now)
	11:56am chresti: Hi Charley and nothing doings!
	11:57am βrian: I'm imagining a Raven Peanut jar at the booth window.
	11:57am chresti: ↳ chresti @11:55 @Griffith Park
	11:58am chresti: ↳ βrian @11:57 That'd be a good way to scare the hell out of the tennis patrons!
	11:59am Brian in UK: Hello Charlie & n'er do wells.
	12:00pm Stork: I'm here for the puck-drop!! Hiya Chollie-Ollie!! Whaddaya say?!?!
	12:01pm chresti: ↳ chresti @11:56 *Charlie
	12:01pm 1MT: Hi Charlie!

	12:02pm Ryan H: Hello, Charlie!
	👻 12:02pm doctorjazz: Very busy doing work stuff, but have the show on, will comment here and there (sure that's a relief). Hi Charlie!
	12:02pm Charlie: Hi everybody! Getting settled, will check back soon:)
	👻 12:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rest Cure" by "Arthur Brown" Not the sound one associates with Arthur Brown (at least, not THIS one). Ramping up a bit, maybe...
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Busybodies!
	12:06pm spodiodi: good morning, Charlie and do-nothings
	👻 12:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Button Up Your Overcoat" by "Ruth Etting" Sounds like Eddy Lang on guitar here.
	12:09pm Stork: Wow, that was weird - there really was nothing at the start - the stream stopped, then no Charlie - I quit the pop-up and restarted it - now i gotz it!! Hey, alls!!
	12:11pm Charlie: Stork, same thing happened for me! I had to restart the stream to get me. Is this normal?
	12:12pm Charlie: So what's this about ravens playing tennis with peanuts?
	12:13pm Stork: ↳ Charlie @12:11 Never happened quite that way before. Listening for the start - sream stopped, then zilch. Took me a good 8 mins or so to try the restart. It's a puzzlah!
	12:14pm βrian: Cascada?
	👻 12:16pm doctorjazz: No break in the action here.
	12:16pm Charlie: Over the falls in a barrel!
	12:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey all. Just got off another Zoom call. Loving this fill in! Also this BigBlood is getting me psyched for the Monty Hall show!
	12:24pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @12:12 My friends at the tennis courts in Griffith Park! They like me because I give them peanuts. Have not seen them playing tennis yet.
	👻 12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:23 When is that show?
	12:25pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @12:24 🐦‍⬛ gm chresti!\\//
	12:26pm chresti: ↳ spodiodi @12:25 gm spodi!\\//
	12:28pm djnogoodnick: Hi Charlie and Drummer-streamers! Busy doin' nuthin is the theme of my summer!
	12:32pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @12:24 it was nice for you to show kindness by giving peanuts to the unkindness...
	12:33pm Brian in UK: Charlie, got an Omnibus edition of the Ripley stories recently.
	12:33pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Button Up Your Overcoat" by "Ruth Etting" You must leave the bar at 2am and go directly to bed!
	12:33pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:24 Our local corvids find pistachios to be fun entertainment, as well
	12:35pm chresti: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:33 Ooh I'll try those sometime!
	12:37pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:35 they seem to enjoy the rattle
	12:37pm Roberto: Crud, if I'd known Charlie was filling in today I'd have rescheduled my dentist appointment!
	12:38pm Charlie: ↳ Roberto @12:37 Make your dentist play GTDR!
	12:39pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @12:33 Last call!
	12:39pm wendy del formaggio: CHARLIE! I just got home from running errands. Tuned in in time to hear “Irene,” but not Irene. Know what I mean?
	12:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Is That Enough" by "Yo La Tengo" yaye, YLT!
	12:39pm Roberto: Wish I could. Her office music blows chunks! Although it's better than it used to be.
	👻 12:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Roberto @12:37 Hopefully no filling in from the dentist...
	12:43pm luka: hi folks
	12:46pm Charlie: Greetings to each of you individually! Glad you're all here:)
	12:48pm Charlie: Can someone invent a clone to respond to comments while I'm tryna figger out what I'm going to play next?
	12:48pm TDK60: Hola. I love stuff from recorded history. So, spin it..
	12:49pm Ryan H: CharlieGPT
	12:50pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Coconut Grove" by "The Lovin' Spoonful" there is no bad version. this one is nice
	12:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Charlie @12:48 frinkiac.com...
	12:52pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Coconut Grove" by "The Lovin' Spoonful" Always nice to hear them
	12:53pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @12:48 I need someone to go check the courts for me so I do not miss your show!
	12:54pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @12:53 if I ever needed a tennis court, i now know how to distract you while i nick one...
	12:54pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @12:53 Chresti, what do you do at the courts?
	12:54pm WR: ↳ Charlie @12:54 Chresti is The Gatekeeper
	12:55pm jaromir: Good afternoon Lewish. Finally made it in for a visit
	12:57pm WR: Thank you Charlie for the tunes, you'll probably be finished doing nothing by the time I'm finished leading my team mates into whatever. Laters all.
	12:57pm schmutz: yay charlie! sneaking in a lil listen between meetings. will catch up in the archive :)
	12:57pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @12:54 I check reservations in and walk around to see who hasn't shown up- a short hike on a trail to the upper courts.
	12:57pm jan: Hi Charlie- great to hear you!
	12:58pm spodiodi: lover that pic, Charlie. thank you for sharing
	12:58pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ doctorjazz @12:24 Apologies, just saw this -- this Friday, sold out!
	12:59pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:57 great exercise. hope you aren't having to deal with pickle ballers.
	1:00pm northguineahills: I heard Ira yesterday say much of the tour had been postponed until 2024 due to Georgia's knee surgery...
	1:01pm TDK60: The photograph of your grandfather looks similar to ones I've seen from the 1960s-to-early '70s.
	👻 1:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:58 Oh well, thanks anyway. Haven't gotten my head around Monty Hall concerts yet...
	1:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Our Prayer" by "Beach Boys" one of my faves..
	1:02pm chresti: www.google.com...
	1:02pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Beach Boy" by "Jimi Tenor" Wholly what? Hi Charlie!
	👻 1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "Frank Sinatra with the Jeff Alexa... There's a cool segue...
	1:03pm chresti: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:59 Not lately
	1:03pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @1:02 Great location
	1:03pm wendy del formaggio: Oh damn. That Beach Boys-to-Frank segue was superb.
	1:04pm Stork: This is a really great trove of Sinatra rarities!
	1:05pm Michael 98145: Nat King Cole
	👻 1:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "Frank Sinatra with the Jeff Alexa... Frankie sounds pretty good (not much of a Sinatra fan in general).
	1:05pm TDK60: Frank, singing 'bout the day he met a proto-hippy happenin' by.
	1:06pm listener james from westwood: This was from back when the animation studios were caricaturing Frankie as basically a coiffed pipe cleaner in a suit.
	1:06pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "The Great Society, with Grace Slick" Grace!
	👻 1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "The Great Society, with Grace Slick" Sounds like a bit of a vocal stretch for Grace (not quite there with intonation...)
	1:07pm frenchee: NATURE BOY is a huge favorite. I love this version by...Grace Slick?
	1:08pm frenchee: ↳ Stork @1:06 oh hai Stork and DoctorJazz. This is a devilment to sing.
	1:08pm wendy del formaggio: There’s a Mickey Katz version of this song, too. “Nature Bocher.”
	1:09pm frenchee: I also like Alex Chilton's version.
	1:09pm Michael 98145: ↳ frenchee @1:07 Yes! Had forgotten that.
	1:09pm still b/p: ↳ listener james from westwood @1:06 And when teenage fans in the theater for his concert would NOT risk losing their seats, reportedly even for urgent restroom need, so...those seats, ohhh, they remember those shows and those girls.
	1:10pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "The Great Society, with Grace Slick" I've never fully warmed to this song, but it continues to keep my interest by the wide variety of artists who've embraced it
	1:10pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Things We Said Today" by "Nancianne & Friends" These segues are a-blowin my mind!
	1:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Swan Lake" by "Fanfare van de Eeuwigdurende Bijst... cool !
	1:13pm still b/p: Worked with someone years ago who used chill electronic mix versions of Nature Boy for the top, bottom and scene-change moments in a production of Macbeth.
	1:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: It's 64F here in Bellows Falls today. So, I'm also thinking about Autumn Leaves.
	1:15pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "Frank Sinatra with the Jeff Alexa... I like Nat King Cole's version
	1:15pm Michael 98145: Well, -this- has been a set & a half
	1:16pm Charlie: I do want to say Hi to Jaromir, making his first appearance on the chat! Thanks for dropping by:)
	👻 1:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Wait" by "The Beatles" I can fill in great vocals here, listen closely all!
	1:18pm jaromir: ↳ Song: "Wait" by "The Beatles" exactly, minus vocals was great
	1:18pm Michael 98145: RIP, William Friedkin
	1:19pm chresti: ↳ still b/p @1:13 Wow.
	1:21pm Michael: Morning Charlie!
	1:23pm chresti: 10:23 am
	1:30pm Charlie: ↳ jaromir @1:18 Jaromir, did you get only the instrumental track?
	1:33pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" 👏
	1:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" Love this song. Long time no hear!
	1:33pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @1:17 Did you all not get vocals? That would mean I'm only sending one channel. The stereo on old Beatles records puts the vocals on one channel.
	1:33pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" Aw, yay, TMBG!
	1:33pm jaromir: i heard lyrics towards the very end but mostly just instrumental
	1:34pm Michael 98145: ↳ Charlie @1:33 did not know that
	1:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" reminds me when i was in the uk in '93 w/ the boy scouts, me and a friend who sing this whole album from beginning to end. (i got my eagle scout before my 14th bday in the minimal time allowed, and only participated thereafter in interesting trips, like going to the uk...
	1:35pm Charlie: ↳ jaromir @1:33 Okay, gotta look into that then!
	1:35pm jaromir: i liked it anyhow :)
	1:36pm jaromir: I have to skip to PT, good listenings. I'll keep an eye out in the future
	👻 1:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Quite Rightly So" by "Procol Harum" Love this!
	👻 1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" Stepped away, missed Birdhouse, sad, another fave!
	1:38pm Charlie: "but still in closing let me say..."!
	👻 1:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" That reminds me, John Flansburgh was a guest on the Sheena Stream not long ago-I've been meaning to catch that one in the archives, this is good reminder. wfmu.org...
	1:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" It's hard to choose a favorite Bowie song, because duh, but this one is definitely in the Top 10. Maybe Top 5.
	1:40pm Threemoons: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" BOWIE
	1:41pm Charlie: ↳ Threemoons @1:40 For me too! This might be my fave. And, not to sound too pompous, but one of the great songs of its era!
	1:42pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:40 That was meant to be a reply to Wendy! clicked the wrong word balloon, doh!
	1:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @1:42 10-4, good buddy!
	1:44pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" I flashed on what song this was from the timbre of the very first piano note we heard... but I always lose those music quizzes! (Isn't "timbre" a good word, tho'?)
	👻 1:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" Brad Meldhau did a nice version of this (solo piano) on his last album of Beatles tunes (I know, I know...)
	1:45pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:44 It's what the lumberjacks shout--timbre!
	1:47pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Filthy Bird" by "Robyn Hitchcock" i usually don't care for the artist, but this song sounds good
	1:49pm Webhamster Henry: Sorry I was out, I was busy doing banking.
	1:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" Also: If anyone here hasn't yet watched the British mystery timeslip cop show called "Life on Mars", this is your notification that it's one of the best TV shows ever, and you need to watch it. And the sequel Ashes to Ashes, wherein Mysteries are Solved. Do not bother with the insipid US remake of LOM.
	1:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @1:02 Guess i had forgotten there is a golf course near the Greek Theatre ...
	1:50pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Yes, that is a good show!
	1:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Thanks for the tip -- never saw that
	👻 1:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Charlie @1:33 That came without the vocals (at the end there was some bleeding through of the vocal). I didn't know if somehow you had come up with a music minus one version of Wait. That wide Beatles-stereo panning drives many nuts (and is why many, but not me, prefer mono versions).
	1:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Thank you, Jeff! It's on my list now, with the admonition: Ignore the US remake. (Generally a good policy anyway.)
	👻 1:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Have to put it on my to watch list (in the middle of watching ALL of Dr Who, that could take until the next millenium).
	1:57pm βrian: 12:56 on the isthmus.
	2:02pm rw: Good morning and thank you Charlie for filling in today! Is that a plastic curtain protector? My grandparents had one on their sofa.
	2:02pm rw: Oh. Enjoying the show, and hello radio friends!
	2:02pm Charlie: ↳ rw @2:02 Sure looks like it!
	👻 2:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ rw @2:02 My parents had a sofa that looked a lot like the one in the picture, but it WAS covered in plastic. Don't recall curtain plastic protection, but plastic lined our chairs as well.
	2:04pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @2:03 That was a common practice -- save the sofa for "company"
	2:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Song: "pH Balanced" by "Shudder to Think" Useless pronunciation point -- Hoven Droven is pronounced "huven druven" -- like the hum in Humvee. From a Norwegian friend of mine -- last name is Hovde, pronounced HUV-Dee (rhymes with Dove-dee)
	👻 2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:04 The sofa and chairs outlasted my parents (partly because no one wanted to sit on them, they were so uncomfortable). Nobody wanted them later either, good shape or no.
	2:05pm Charlie: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @2:04 No pronunciation points are useless! Thanks:)
	2:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @2:05 Many wound up on sidewalks. No, not the parents. 😎
	2:10pm rw: After having lived through the Depression you want to make sure that sofa you spent so much $ on outlasts your grandkids' grandkids. Whether they want it or not.
	2:11pm Charlie: It's hard to find a new home for our parents' and grandparents' old furniture.
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Charlie and busybodies!
	2:12pm rw: ↳ Charlie @2:11 You said it. I'm not looking forward to the day my mom passes away. I hope I go first.
	2:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ Charlie @2:11 Habitat for Humanity will sometimes accept them ...
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: ...this is different than my astonished (in memphis) on my chore of enchantment!
	2:12pm rw: Yo coe!
	2:13pm wendy del formaggio: I should have some Giant Sand in my collection. And I don’t. I only have a Howe Gelb solo album which I love.
	2:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "You Are Here in the Sky (remix of The Flamingos "... chazaloo!
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	2:14pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "You Are Here in the Sky (remix of The Flamingos "... nice
	2:14pm wendy del formaggio: A remix by you of one of my favorite songs? Who knew?!
	2:14pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Swan Lake" by "Fanfare van de Eeuwigdurende Bijst... Also: TIL that there exists something called a "fanfare band". How that differs from a regular brass band or a drum & bugle corps remains mysterious.
	2:15pm Charlie: ↳ wendy del formaggio @2:14 I did this one years ago!
	2:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Card Nation" by "Susumu Yokota" I heart all susumy yokota!
	👻 2:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" Remember when this came out, was a big deal, lots of AM radio play.
	2:21pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" I play this on the autoharp sometimes. #okboomer
	2:22pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" Is the instrumentation really this spare, or is it another bit of stereo mishigas?
	2:28pm still b/p: ↳ still b/p @2:22 Confirmed with a listen elsewhere: it was stereo mishigas. Much missing.
	2:30pm Charlie: ↳ still b/p @2:22 Yeah, I gotta figger out what the f is going on with that!
	2:33pm unpopularfred: ↳ still b/p @2:28 glad we figured that out, I'm always nervous that I'm going deaf in my right ear
	2:35pm Erik (VT): Definitely stoked to check out / listen / and learn more about The 3 Clubmen (Andy Partridge, etc). Random XTC related query: only have one Sugarplastics album. In your opinion, Are ALL of em worthy of attention ?
	👻 2:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" Sounded odd on my end as well (not as much as the Beatles song, though)
	2:37pm Charlie: ↳ Erik (VT) @2:35 I am completely ignorant of The Sugarplastic!
	2:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "We'll Meet Again" by "The Byrds" Wore copies of this LP to vinyl dust
	👻 2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We'll Meet Again" by "The Byrds" Missing tracks here as well (you don't need to hear this again, do you).
	2:43pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Chewing Gum Wrapper" by "Jonathan Richman & The M... Jonathan in his "I'll write about what I just stepped in" phase.
	2:43pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:43 "Ode to a piece of trash..."
	2:45pm Charlie: Hey, nothing-doers, stay tuned for Wendy and Wreck Your Own Adventure, up next! Here's the playlist page: wfmu.org...
	👻 2:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Around the World" by "Alex McMurray" I love his How to be a Cannonball album, haven't heard this (He has 24 albums on Bandcamp, I see).
	2:47pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @2:46 Uh oh -- another bandcamp expedition coming ..
	2:48pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Waterfalls (Paul McCartney cover)" by "Cate Le Bon" Cate !
	2:48pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @2:46 Don't know that album, but he is prolific! He used to front a great band called Royal Fingerbowl.
	👻 2:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:47 All 24 albums available as digital downloads, for the low, low price of $57.75, hmmm...
	2:53pm spodiodi: great show. thank you, Charlie!
	2:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Season in the Sun" by "Jeanne Lee & Ran Blake" Is this where we have joy, we have fun?
	👻 2:54pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Season in the Sun" by "Jeanne Lee & Ran Blake" This is cool (been listening to Ran Blake a bit, nice box set of Soul Note/Black Saint recordings).
	2:54pm Michael 98145: Enjoyed this, thank you.
	2:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Charlie! Shameless self-promotion time: go here if you want to listen to Wreck Your Own Adventure. wfmu.org...
	👻 2:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks for the great tunes, Charlie!
	2:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: IVOR CUTLER!!! <3 <3 <3
	2:55pm Erik (VT): - oh ok: re The Sugarplastic are sort of a USA (L.A.) spin on the XTC vibe. 4 albums (plus).
	2:55pm rw: Nice work Charlie. Thank you!
	2:56pm chresti: Thanks Charlie, very pleasant musical accompaniment to go with my morning tasks!
	2:56pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Last Song" by "Ivor Cutler Trio" Ivor Cutler is a good ingredient for every show. Fun fact: he was Jewish!
	2:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Charlie—always delightful!
	2:59pm frenchee: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:43 ha ha! he is oh so very slice-of-life
	3:01pm Charlie: Oh! Thanks, all, for joining today:) Much appreciated! See you next time...

Listener comments!
	11:30am WR: writing a hello early because at the moment I'm doing nothing but I'm supposed to be working. At lease I can listen until about 1:30PM, cheers.
	11:38am Charlie: Hi WR, well I'm supposed to be doing nothing!
	11:49am βrian: Ok, pulling up my ottoman and fussing with my listening device. Good morning from the Isthmus.
	11:55am chresti: I'm very very busy standing at the tennis desk. Just fed the ravens their peanuts (threw them onto the roof, I can hear them up there now)
	11:56am chresti: Hi Charley and nothing doings!
	11:57am βrian: I'm imagining a Raven Peanut jar at the booth window.
	11:57am chresti: ↳ chresti @11:55 @Griffith Park
	11:58am chresti: ↳ βrian @11:57 That'd be a good way to scare the hell out of the tennis patrons!
	11:59am Brian in UK: Hello Charlie & n'er do wells.
	12:00pm Stork: I'm here for the puck-drop!! Hiya Chollie-Ollie!! Whaddaya say?!?!
	12:01pm chresti: ↳ chresti @11:56 *Charlie
	12:01pm 1MT: Hi Charlie!

	12:02pm Ryan H: Hello, Charlie!
	👻 12:02pm doctorjazz: Very busy doing work stuff, but have the show on, will comment here and there (sure that's a relief). Hi Charlie!
	12:02pm Charlie: Hi everybody! Getting settled, will check back soon:)
	👻 12:04pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Rest Cure" by "Arthur Brown" Not the sound one associates with Arthur Brown (at least, not THIS one). Ramping up a bit, maybe...
	12:04pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Busybodies!
	12:06pm spodiodi: good morning, Charlie and do-nothings
	👻 12:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Button Up Your Overcoat" by "Ruth Etting" Sounds like Eddy Lang on guitar here.
	12:09pm Stork: Wow, that was weird - there really was nothing at the start - the stream stopped, then no Charlie - I quit the pop-up and restarted it - now i gotz it!! Hey, alls!!
	12:11pm Charlie: Stork, same thing happened for me! I had to restart the stream to get me. Is this normal?
	12:12pm Charlie: So what's this about ravens playing tennis with peanuts?
	12:13pm Stork: ↳ Charlie @12:11 Never happened quite that way before. Listening for the start - sream stopped, then zilch. Took me a good 8 mins or so to try the restart. It's a puzzlah!
	12:14pm βrian: Cascada?
	👻 12:16pm doctorjazz: No break in the action here.
	12:16pm Charlie: Over the falls in a barrel!
	12:23pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey all. Just got off another Zoom call. Loving this fill in! Also this BigBlood is getting me psyched for the Monty Hall show!
	12:24pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @12:12 My friends at the tennis courts in Griffith Park! They like me because I give them peanuts. Have not seen them playing tennis yet.
	👻 12:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:23 When is that show?
	12:25pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @12:24 🐦‍⬛ gm chresti!\\//
	12:26pm chresti: ↳ spodiodi @12:25 gm spodi!\\//
	12:28pm djnogoodnick: Hi Charlie and Drummer-streamers! Busy doin' nuthin is the theme of my summer!
	12:32pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @12:24 it was nice for you to show kindness by giving peanuts to the unkindness...
	12:33pm Brian in UK: Charlie, got an Omnibus edition of the Ripley stories recently.
	12:33pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Button Up Your Overcoat" by "Ruth Etting" You must leave the bar at 2am and go directly to bed!
	12:33pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:24 Our local corvids find pistachios to be fun entertainment, as well
	12:35pm chresti: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:33 Ooh I'll try those sometime!
	12:37pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:35 they seem to enjoy the rattle
	12:37pm Roberto: Crud, if I'd known Charlie was filling in today I'd have rescheduled my dentist appointment!
	12:38pm Charlie: ↳ Roberto @12:37 Make your dentist play GTDR!
	12:39pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @12:33 Last call!
	12:39pm wendy del formaggio: CHARLIE! I just got home from running errands. Tuned in in time to hear “Irene,” but not Irene. Know what I mean?
	12:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Is That Enough" by "Yo La Tengo" yaye, YLT!
	12:39pm Roberto: Wish I could. Her office music blows chunks! Although it's better than it used to be.
	👻 12:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Roberto @12:37 Hopefully no filling in from the dentist...
	12:43pm luka: hi folks
	12:46pm Charlie: Greetings to each of you individually! Glad you're all here:)
	12:48pm Charlie: Can someone invent a clone to respond to comments while I'm tryna figger out what I'm going to play next?
	12:48pm TDK60: Hola. I love stuff from recorded history. So, spin it..
	12:49pm Ryan H: CharlieGPT
	12:50pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Coconut Grove" by "The Lovin' Spoonful" there is no bad version. this one is nice
	12:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Charlie @12:48 frinkiac.com...
	12:52pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Coconut Grove" by "The Lovin' Spoonful" Always nice to hear them
	12:53pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @12:48 I need someone to go check the courts for me so I do not miss your show!
	12:54pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @12:53 if I ever needed a tennis court, i now know how to distract you while i nick one...
	12:54pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @12:53 Chresti, what do you do at the courts?
	12:54pm WR: ↳ Charlie @12:54 Chresti is The Gatekeeper
	12:55pm jaromir: Good afternoon Lewish. Finally made it in for a visit
	12:57pm WR: Thank you Charlie for the tunes, you'll probably be finished doing nothing by the time I'm finished leading my team mates into whatever. Laters all.
	12:57pm schmutz: yay charlie! sneaking in a lil listen between meetings. will catch up in the archive :)
	12:57pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @12:54 I check reservations in and walk around to see who hasn't shown up- a short hike on a trail to the upper courts.
	12:57pm jan: Hi Charlie- great to hear you!
	12:58pm spodiodi: lover that pic, Charlie. thank you for sharing
	12:58pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ doctorjazz @12:24 Apologies, just saw this -- this Friday, sold out!
	12:59pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @12:57 great exercise. hope you aren't having to deal with pickle ballers.
	1:00pm northguineahills: I heard Ira yesterday say much of the tour had been postponed until 2024 due to Georgia's knee surgery...
	1:01pm TDK60: The photograph of your grandfather looks similar to ones I've seen from the 1960s-to-early '70s.
	👻 1:01pm doctorjazz: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @12:58 Oh well, thanks anyway. Haven't gotten my head around Monty Hall concerts yet...
	1:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Our Prayer" by "Beach Boys" one of my faves..
	1:02pm chresti: www.google.com...
	1:02pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Beach Boy" by "Jimi Tenor" Wholly what? Hi Charlie!
	👻 1:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "Frank Sinatra with the Jeff Alexa... There's a cool segue...
	1:03pm chresti: ↳ Michael 98145 @12:59 Not lately
	1:03pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @1:02 Great location
	1:03pm wendy del formaggio: Oh damn. That Beach Boys-to-Frank segue was superb.
	1:04pm Stork: This is a really great trove of Sinatra rarities!
	1:05pm Michael 98145: Nat King Cole
	👻 1:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "Frank Sinatra with the Jeff Alexa... Frankie sounds pretty good (not much of a Sinatra fan in general).
	1:05pm TDK60: Frank, singing 'bout the day he met a proto-hippy happenin' by.
	1:06pm listener james from westwood: This was from back when the animation studios were caricaturing Frankie as basically a coiffed pipe cleaner in a suit.
	1:06pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "The Great Society, with Grace Slick" Grace!
	👻 1:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "The Great Society, with Grace Slick" Sounds like a bit of a vocal stretch for Grace (not quite there with intonation...)
	1:07pm frenchee: NATURE BOY is a huge favorite. I love this version by...Grace Slick?
	1:08pm frenchee: ↳ Stork @1:06 oh hai Stork and DoctorJazz. This is a devilment to sing.
	1:08pm wendy del formaggio: There’s a Mickey Katz version of this song, too. “Nature Bocher.”
	1:09pm frenchee: I also like Alex Chilton's version.
	1:09pm Michael 98145: ↳ frenchee @1:07 Yes! Had forgotten that.
	1:09pm still b/p: ↳ listener james from westwood @1:06 And when teenage fans in the theater for his concert would NOT risk losing their seats, reportedly even for urgent restroom need, so...those seats, ohhh, they remember those shows and those girls.
	1:10pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "The Great Society, with Grace Slick" I've never fully warmed to this song, but it continues to keep my interest by the wide variety of artists who've embraced it
	1:10pm Stork: ↳ Song: "Things We Said Today" by "Nancianne & Friends" These segues are a-blowin my mind!
	1:11pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Swan Lake" by "Fanfare van de Eeuwigdurende Bijst... cool !
	1:13pm still b/p: Worked with someone years ago who used chill electronic mix versions of Nature Boy for the top, bottom and scene-change moments in a production of Macbeth.
	1:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: It's 64F here in Bellows Falls today. So, I'm also thinking about Autumn Leaves.
	1:15pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Nature Boy" by "Frank Sinatra with the Jeff Alexa... I like Nat King Cole's version
	1:15pm Michael 98145: Well, -this- has been a set & a half
	1:16pm Charlie: I do want to say Hi to Jaromir, making his first appearance on the chat! Thanks for dropping by:)
	👻 1:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Wait" by "The Beatles" I can fill in great vocals here, listen closely all!
	1:18pm jaromir: ↳ Song: "Wait" by "The Beatles" exactly, minus vocals was great
	1:18pm Michael 98145: RIP, William Friedkin
	1:19pm chresti: ↳ still b/p @1:13 Wow.
	1:21pm Michael: Morning Charlie!
	1:23pm chresti: 10:23 am
	1:30pm Charlie: ↳ jaromir @1:18 Jaromir, did you get only the instrumental track?
	1:33pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" 👏
	1:33pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" Love this song. Long time no hear!
	1:33pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @1:17 Did you all not get vocals? That would mean I'm only sending one channel. The stereo on old Beatles records puts the vocals on one channel.
	1:33pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" Aw, yay, TMBG!
	1:33pm jaromir: i heard lyrics towards the very end but mostly just instrumental
	1:34pm Michael 98145: ↳ Charlie @1:33 did not know that
	1:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" reminds me when i was in the uk in '93 w/ the boy scouts, me and a friend who sing this whole album from beginning to end. (i got my eagle scout before my 14th bday in the minimal time allowed, and only participated thereafter in interesting trips, like going to the uk...
	1:35pm Charlie: ↳ jaromir @1:33 Okay, gotta look into that then!
	1:35pm jaromir: i liked it anyhow :)
	1:36pm jaromir: I have to skip to PT, good listenings. I'll keep an eye out in the future
	👻 1:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Quite Rightly So" by "Procol Harum" Love this!
	👻 1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" Stepped away, missed Birdhouse, sad, another fave!
	1:38pm Charlie: "but still in closing let me say..."!
	👻 1:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by "They Might Be Giants" That reminds me, John Flansburgh was a guest on the Sheena Stream not long ago-I've been meaning to catch that one in the archives, this is good reminder. wfmu.org...
	1:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" It's hard to choose a favorite Bowie song, because duh, but this one is definitely in the Top 10. Maybe Top 5.
	1:40pm Threemoons: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" BOWIE
	1:41pm Charlie: ↳ Threemoons @1:40 For me too! This might be my fave. And, not to sound too pompous, but one of the great songs of its era!
	1:42pm Charlie: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @1:40 That was meant to be a reply to Wendy! clicked the wrong word balloon, doh!
	1:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Charlie @1:42 10-4, good buddy!
	1:44pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" I flashed on what song this was from the timbre of the very first piano note we heard... but I always lose those music quizzes! (Isn't "timbre" a good word, tho'?)
	👻 1:44pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" Brad Meldhau did a nice version of this (solo piano) on his last album of Beatles tunes (I know, I know...)
	1:45pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:44 It's what the lumberjacks shout--timbre!
	1:47pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Filthy Bird" by "Robyn Hitchcock" i usually don't care for the artist, but this song sounds good
	1:49pm Webhamster Henry: Sorry I was out, I was busy doing banking.
	1:49pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Life on Mars?" by "David Bowie" Also: If anyone here hasn't yet watched the British mystery timeslip cop show called "Life on Mars", this is your notification that it's one of the best TV shows ever, and you need to watch it. And the sequel Ashes to Ashes, wherein Mysteries are Solved. Do not bother with the insipid US remake of LOM.
	1:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ chresti @1:02 Guess i had forgotten there is a golf course near the Greek Theatre ...
	1:50pm Charlie: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Yes, that is a good show!
	1:51pm Michael 98145: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Thanks for the tip -- never saw that
	👻 1:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Charlie @1:33 That came without the vocals (at the end there was some bleeding through of the vocal). I didn't know if somehow you had come up with a music minus one version of Wait. That wide Beatles-stereo panning drives many nuts (and is why many, but not me, prefer mono versions).
	1:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Thank you, Jeff! It's on my list now, with the admonition: Ignore the US remake. (Generally a good policy anyway.)
	👻 1:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Jeff Moore @1:49 Have to put it on my to watch list (in the middle of watching ALL of Dr Who, that could take until the next millenium).
	1:57pm βrian: 12:56 on the isthmus.
	2:02pm rw: Good morning and thank you Charlie for filling in today! Is that a plastic curtain protector? My grandparents had one on their sofa.
	2:02pm rw: Oh. Enjoying the show, and hello radio friends!
	2:02pm Charlie: ↳ rw @2:02 Sure looks like it!
	👻 2:03pm doctorjazz: ↳ rw @2:02 My parents had a sofa that looked a lot like the one in the picture, but it WAS covered in plastic. Don't recall curtain plastic protection, but plastic lined our chairs as well.
	2:04pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @2:03 That was a common practice -- save the sofa for "company"
	2:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Song: "pH Balanced" by "Shudder to Think" Useless pronunciation point -- Hoven Droven is pronounced "huven druven" -- like the hum in Humvee. From a Norwegian friend of mine -- last name is Hovde, pronounced HUV-Dee (rhymes with Dove-dee)
	👻 2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:04 The sofa and chairs outlasted my parents (partly because no one wanted to sit on them, they were so uncomfortable). Nobody wanted them later either, good shape or no.
	2:05pm Charlie: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @2:04 No pronunciation points are useless! Thanks:)
	2:08pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @2:05 Many wound up on sidewalks. No, not the parents. 😎
	2:10pm rw: After having lived through the Depression you want to make sure that sofa you spent so much $ on outlasts your grandkids' grandkids. Whether they want it or not.
	2:11pm Charlie: It's hard to find a new home for our parents' and grandparents' old furniture.
	2:11pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Charlie and busybodies!
	2:12pm rw: ↳ Charlie @2:11 You said it. I'm not looking forward to the day my mom passes away. I hope I go first.
	2:12pm Michael 98145: ↳ Charlie @2:11 Habitat for Humanity will sometimes accept them ...
	2:12pm coelacanth∅: ...this is different than my astonished (in memphis) on my chore of enchantment!
	2:12pm rw: Yo coe!
	2:13pm wendy del formaggio: I should have some Giant Sand in my collection. And I don’t. I only have a Howe Gelb solo album which I love.
	2:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "You Are Here in the Sky (remix of The Flamingos "... chazaloo!
	2:14pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	2:14pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "You Are Here in the Sky (remix of The Flamingos "... nice
	2:14pm wendy del formaggio: A remix by you of one of my favorite songs? Who knew?!
	2:14pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Song: "Swan Lake" by "Fanfare van de Eeuwigdurende Bijst... Also: TIL that there exists something called a "fanfare band". How that differs from a regular brass band or a drum & bugle corps remains mysterious.
	2:15pm Charlie: ↳ wendy del formaggio @2:14 I did this one years ago!
	2:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Card Nation" by "Susumu Yokota" I heart all susumy yokota!
	👻 2:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" Remember when this came out, was a big deal, lots of AM radio play.
	2:21pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" I play this on the autoharp sometimes. #okboomer
	2:22pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" Is the instrumentation really this spare, or is it another bit of stereo mishigas?
	2:28pm still b/p: ↳ still b/p @2:22 Confirmed with a listen elsewhere: it was stereo mishigas. Much missing.
	2:30pm Charlie: ↳ still b/p @2:22 Yeah, I gotta figger out what the f is going on with that!
	2:33pm unpopularfred: ↳ still b/p @2:28 glad we figured that out, I'm always nervous that I'm going deaf in my right ear
	2:35pm Erik (VT): Definitely stoked to check out / listen / and learn more about The 3 Clubmen (Andy Partridge, etc). Random XTC related query: only have one Sugarplastics album. In your opinion, Are ALL of em worthy of attention ?
	👻 2:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Shades of Gray" by "The Monkees" Sounded odd on my end as well (not as much as the Beatles song, though)
	2:37pm Charlie: ↳ Erik (VT) @2:35 I am completely ignorant of The Sugarplastic!
	2:40pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "We'll Meet Again" by "The Byrds" Wore copies of this LP to vinyl dust
	👻 2:41pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "We'll Meet Again" by "The Byrds" Missing tracks here as well (you don't need to hear this again, do you).
	2:43pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Chewing Gum Wrapper" by "Jonathan Richman & The M... Jonathan in his "I'll write about what I just stepped in" phase.
	2:43pm Charlie: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:43 "Ode to a piece of trash..."
	2:45pm Charlie: Hey, nothing-doers, stay tuned for Wendy and Wreck Your Own Adventure, up next! Here's the playlist page: wfmu.org...
	👻 2:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Around the World" by "Alex McMurray" I love his How to be a Cannonball album, haven't heard this (He has 24 albums on Bandcamp, I see).
	2:47pm Michael 98145: ↳ doctorjazz @2:46 Uh oh -- another bandcamp expedition coming ..
	2:48pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Waterfalls (Paul McCartney cover)" by "Cate Le Bon" Cate !
	2:48pm Charlie: ↳ doctorjazz @2:46 Don't know that album, but he is prolific! He used to front a great band called Royal Fingerbowl.
	👻 2:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:47 All 24 albums available as digital downloads, for the low, low price of $57.75, hmmm...
