	9:23pm Adorno: Like Sister Ray says …!
	9:23pm luka: i love this song. reminds me of sister ray. i mean elephants.
	9:23pm Ted K: vocals nice and clear on this one
	9:24pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Underground" First time I heard it was on a friend's patched together stereo that was on top of his pool table in '73 (I was 15)
	9:24pm Nate K.: ↳ Ted K @9:23 Yes, no question what is being sucked on, that being a ding dong.
	9:25pm David Watts: Ooh this show will pair nicely with a Friday night of cold medicine and marijuana!
	9:25pm Nate K.: ↳ chresti @9:24 That sounds ideal.
	9:25pm mariano: You can say "ding-dong" on the air these days? What is the world coming to?
	9:25pm John L: This is gonna be the perfect soundtrack to me attempting to put together a Bissell Steam Cleaner, while a little stoned! Was anyone else at the Yo La Tengo/Feelies Hanukkah show where they did a full length Sister Ray? One of my all-time concert going highlights. OK, now back to reading these instructions...
	9:26pm chresti: ↳ Nate K. @9:25 Of course we all were snickering..
	9:27pm wenzo: Went to see Lewsberg last week… great show
	9:28pm DC_Listener: I love the Joy Division version but it's even sillier to hear Ian Curtis sing ding-dong. Love this show. Making my pledge now!
	9:28pm drew73: ↳ wenzo @9:27 They're so good... what city?
	9:28pm Nate K.: ↳ DC_Listener @9:28 That will make an appearance!
	9:29pm Andres: Some prefer to suck out the crème but I prefer a bite that takes in the chocolate and cake as well. Delicious.
	9:29pm wenzo: Detroit
	9:29pm DC_Listener: Thank you!!
	9:29pm Nate K.: ↳ drew73 @9:28 Hey, Drew!
	9:29pm Nate K.: ↳ John L @9:25 Ugh, no. Would have dug that, obviously.
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ mariano @9:25 it all depends on context. as long as he's referring to the chocolate cake with a creamy filling, which of course he is, it's okay.
	9:31pm drew73: ↳ Nate K. @9:29 Hey Nate – such an audacious show tonight. Love it!
	9:32pm Andres: Known as King Dons in Canada.
	9:36pm chresti: ↳ Andres @9:29 We would get Suzy Qs
	9:37pm mariano: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:31 Ah, she might well have been sucking on his Hostess Ding Dong, good point. Me and my dirty mind.
	9:37pm DB: Setting the bar really high, really early
	9:38pm gigi_RR: i'm going to stain the carpet in honor of this set
	9:38pm okie tokie: hell yeah nice intro tonight
	9:38pm ultradamno: ↳ chresti @9:36 I would go with Choco-Bliss myself
	9:38pm drew73: you know you shouldn't do that
	9:39pm Tom P: ↳ gigi_RR @9:38 Brilliant!
	9:40pm gigi_RR: if i had a car my license plate would be 2bizysuckinonadingd0ng
	9:40pm Andres: ↳ chresti @9:36 We are denied of Suzy Qs here.
	9:40pm Erin Hellfire: Dreamy.
	9:46pm chresti: A groupie
	9:46pm Erin Hellfire: You should check out Destroy All Monsters. The band, not the movie. I LOVE Godzilla, but I'm talking about the band.
	9:46pm Nate K.: Apologies to all the Dead fans out there. You know I love you.
	9:47pm Nate K.: ↳ Erin Hellfire @9:46 Oh, I'm a fan.
	9:47pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Nate K. @9:47 !!!!!!
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @9:36 don't think i ever heard of suzy qs. definitely never saw one. except a human one.
	9:48pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Nate K. @9:46 Don't apologize Nate! They should of been cooler!
	9:49pm Nate K.: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:48 Ha. Indeed.
	9:49pm ultradamno: Someone needs to put out a lavish coffee table book of Niagara's artwork.
	9:50pm sean: did the Dead ever play sister ray? I bet Jerry would have absolutely killed it.
	9:50pm ultradamno: Also, if you like DAM, check out Beex
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: oh i see. the suzy q was hostess' rip-off of the devil dog (as the ding dong was a rip-off of the ring ding) did that company have any of it's own ideas?
	9:52pm ultradamno: Apparently the Ohio band Sister Ray never released a cover of Sister Ray...
	9:53pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ ultradamno @9:52 That's a shame. A missed opportunity in many ways.
	9:53pm DC_Listener: Anybody remember chocodiles?
	9:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ sean @9:50 In 1970, MGM/VERVE dumped all their Velvet Underground records into the cut out bins of America. I got my copy of White Light/ White Heat at Wallachs Music City for $1.98 in 1971. I was fifteen years old. A couple months later I saw The Grateful Dead. They did a lot of covers, but they DID NOT do Sister Ray.
	9:54pm sean: Dave Cloud did an amazing cover of Sister Ray, but I'm not sure if any recordings exist
	9:54pm mr_donutsu: It’s all fun and games until the call comes from INSIDE LOU’S AMPLIFIER!!!
	9:54pm ultradamno: foursquare.com...
	9:54pm prof.fuzz: twinkies should have been called ding dongs
	9:55pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:54 Ding Dongs are a thing tho
	9:55pm pgalub: Liking this freak out!
	9:56pm ultradamno: Also seems like Pop-O-Pies should have done it.
	9:56pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:54 Then, you also have Ring Dings
	9:56pm darnold_of_the_thames: Seems like Ho-hos are called cupcakes now
	9:57pm ultradamno: Choco-Bliss 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:57pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:55 right. i'm just saying that twinkies should have been called ding dongs, and ding dongs called hockey pucks or something...
	9:58pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ ultradamno @9:57 "A chocolate lovers dream!"
	9:59pm ultradamno: Was there ever a hostess product called Ding-a-Lings?
	9:59pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:57 Then, what should be a Twinkie?
	9:59pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:59 snowballs could have been twinkies?
	10:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: My maternal grandmother never drove, so occasionally, my mom would bring Grandma to visit her mother. Great-grandmother would serve Snowballs. They seem to be Twinkies, but with coconut.
	10:00pm ultradamno: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:59 Seems like Twinkies should have been smaller versions of the same thing
	10:00pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:59 You know my next question, lol. What would be Snowballs? Just a sexual act? Lol
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DC_Listener @9:53 i always heard of them but for some reason they weren't around when i was little. always liked the name! and happy when soul coughing referenced it later on
	10:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:00 snowballs came in cooler colors
	10:01pm northguineahills: thankfully, the playlist is being updated!
	10:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:00 yeah, snowballs are full of cream, so the name fits. we'll have to find another snack to take over the twinkie name.
	10:01pm ultradamno: So will we hear all of Sweet Sister Ray tonight? www.discogs.com...
	10:02pm Nate K.: ↳ ultradamno @10:01 That's the plan.
	10:03pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ northguineahills @10:01 Lol Will Nate be able to do Station ID?!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: weren't ho-hos the yodel rip-off, except with a terrible name?!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:57 or "mescaline cakes"
	10:04pm Sean T-Rex: Smooth Nate. A Dead Head would be as smooth
	10:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:03 well, there came our answer!
	10:05pm prof.fuzz: hola NGH!
	10:06pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:05 professor!
	10:06pm Erin Hellfire: Wow. Abel Ferrara was clearly influenced by The Velvet Underground. I had the privilege of seeing him & Joe Delia have a jam session after a double feature of Bad Lieutenant and The Addiction at The Roxy. It was a weird scene, though, because Abel was drunk and invited a girl who was singing in the lounge to join him onstage. She read lyrics from her phone while she sang. It was beyond cringe. Abel was super cool, though...signed my Ms. 45 and Driller Killer blu-rays after the double feature & jam session. The craziest shit was that he took a photo of me & my old man with his cell phone because I was wearing a Ms. 45 shirt and my hubby was wearing a Driller Killer shirt.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: i never had snowballs. doesn't sound like something i'd like.
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 you should try them in hades, you might like your chances w/ them then!
	10:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:03 I ate a lot of Twinkie when I was little. My sister and I would get them from the food bus that came down our street. They were eleven cents. We were outraged when they went up to thirteen cents.
	10:08pm Mr. Corey LLC: The show tonight just hits the spot. It's the right show for right now. It's a window to the "otherness" that makes this music great. This is not escapism, it is something wholly different, accessible only to humans experiencing the human condition. No matter the state of affairs in the world, the ability to exist in this otherness is always present and available. Thank you for providing this proof this evening.
	10:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:07 "I ate a lot of Twinkie when I was little" i have a hard time fathoming this! /s
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @10:07 okay. i was going to go there tonight.
	10:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:07 This should not come as a surprise since that's your last name, sir.
	10:10pm DT: benn listening to fmu for around 40 years. This show is clearly one of the highlights. Nice job Nare.
	10:10pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @9:49 Um I totally have a Niagara coffee table book.
	10:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @10:09 I'm having a lot of trouble typing tonight. I should just go sit down.
	10:11pm StuartR: DJ speaks between Sister Rays
	10:11pm Noel: So, I guess, “Heroin” came after this.
	10:11pm ultradamno: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:10 Who put that out?
	10:12pm Doug in DC: That was a good one.
	10:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:10 still typing better than i!
	10:13pm DT: wow, pardon my spelling.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:07 so, you ate a lot of twinkies, and a lot of franco american canned pasta & "meat".
	10:13pm Nate K.: ↳ Doug in DC @10:12 Doug Yule was just amazing at those Boston shows.
	10:15pm ultradamno: Also she and Pettibon should do a noir graphic novel where the bounce panels back and forth
	10:15pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:11 www.niagaradetroit.com...
	10:16pm chresti: This is nice
	10:17pm Nate K.: ↳ Noel @10:11 I think Heroin is much older than Sister Ray. There is a version from 1965.
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 Just Twinkie's. My mom didn't let us eat crap out of cans - she cooked everyday.
	10:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:15 Thx
	10:19pm Nate K.: When this one kicks off, it sounds like it could be "Rock 'n' Roll."
	10:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:17 canned franco laughter?
	10:20pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:17 Nothing from a can but she let you eat a food that doesn't degrade. Lol
	10:22pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 I wish we could share photos on the board! I used to help run her social media, so she sent me an autographed copy, calling me her Girl Friday. Haha
	10:23pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:20 As soon as we walked out the door we were on our own.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: and besides, twinkies aren't really food.
	10:26pm wenzo: are they genuine food substitute
	10:26pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:23 So, that includes finding your copy of White Light/ White Heat at Wallachs Music City for $1.98?!
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: margarine also shined in the let's see how long it takes to decompose tests. what i read is that after a year or 2, not only did it not degrade but the insects didn't bother with it
	10:26pm wenzo: Food product
	10:27pm ultradamno: Cool new things released today. Martin Rev's collection of cassette work, listened to it this morning, it's awesome martin-rev.bandcamp.com... New Crime & The City Solution is out, haven't listened to the stream of it yet (have a CD coming) but I like what I've heard crimeandthecitysolution.bandcamp.com... and the vinyl of Messer Chups terrific new ep (the digital version has been out for a bit) is shipping ahead of sched. messer-chups.bandcamp.com...
	10:30pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Undeground" Man, I wish I had been at any of these shows!
	10:30pm Adorno: Amazing guitar work!
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:23 i ate twinkies every school day for a year or 2 in jr high. it was really an addiction...no thought necessary, i WOULD get them. my mother wouldn't have been happy about that but what could she do?
	10:31pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:27 I saw Martin Rev play at Seaport Music Festival.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:31 In junior high, my addiction was fruit pies. Big surprise, right?
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:26 I guess. But I did but the banana album when I was with my mom. At Newberrie's!
	10:38pm Erin Hellfire: I'm literally ready to buy everyone Pizza rn because it's a million times better than Twinkies and snow balls and all that junk.
	10:39pm ultradamno: The pies at McDonald's were a terrorist plot to burn the mouths of children
	10:39pm Erin Hellfire: Twinkies are pretty good, though.
	10:39pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:39 🤣
	10:40pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:38 Hahaha Pizza is part of another food group altogether
	10:40pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:39 Dude! Did you hear about the lawsuit a kid's family filed because she was burned my chicken mcnuggets?
	10:41pm chresti: Such polite applause👏🏻
	10:41pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "Doctor Mix & the Remix" Oh yea, digging this
	10:41pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:40 Pizza is one of the most important things in my life. I'm not kidding.
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: My sister and I would break a Twinkie in half, stick in a finger, pull it out covered with goo and say it was our mom washing her hair.
	10:43pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:42 Wtf lmao
	10:43pm chresti: We got into the hostess pies. Every Friday night on tv trays with Star Trek
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:38 i haven't eaten a twinkie since about when you were born!
	10:43pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:41 My friend from college ate so much pizza that the garbage was just pizza boxes. Pizza is life.
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:43 We were young dadaists.
	10:44pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:43 Dude I was born in 81. Lol
	10:45pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:43 I want to meet him...and steal his pizza. 😜
	10:46pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:44 I'm totally into it.
	10:47pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "Doctor Mix & the Remix" Good stuff. Not trying to copy the original. Adding their own twist, in the same spirit
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:44 when i was over my twinkie addiction, ~1977 i never ate another one.
	10:48pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 Huh, Cold Twinkie?
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: time for me to go suck the corportae ding dong. Thanks Nate g'night, ding dongs.
	10:49pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:48 DING!
	10:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: A college buddy came home from the bars one night and stuck a frozen pizza in the oven and then fell asleep. The next morning, the pizza was charred black as coal.
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: I never attempted a homemade pizza until I started living with Chresti. She taught me how, and I ran with the ball... Of dough!
	10:49pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:48 Suck a twinkie! 😉
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:48 off to werk ya go, have fun!
	10:49pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:49 🤣🤣🤣
	10:50pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:49 I've done that but on the grill. When you wake up the next day, you become horrified
	10:51pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:50 ?????
	10:52pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:51 You wake uo with the smell of propane and brunt food.
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:49 I did that with a pot of beans. I put it on the stove and went hiking. When I got home, my roommate was fuming, and the bean pot was on the back stairs. The beans looked like a meteor that hit the Earth!
	10:53pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:52 Pizza on the grill?!
	10:54pm chresti: See you coel (twinges all the way!)
	10:54pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:53 🤣
	10:54pm Sean T-Rex: Nice shout out to the record fair! I ended up $350 poorer but some awesome stuff. Anyone else go and get something cool?
	10:55pm Tom P: Have to head out too. Nate K, thanks for this great SR show. Will def. listen to the rest on archives!
	10:56pm Franco Twinkie: Astral Weeks is a great! In the pantheon of useless music books, it's a shining star.

	10:59pm Nate K.: ↳ Matt @10:57 {chef kiss}
	10:59pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:54 You know what Rex says..."Records before rent". I paid $100 for the record I'm holding in my profile photo. A rare gem! Everyone should watch THE MONSTER CLUB before the best month of the year comes to an end!
	11:00pm drew73: That Astral Weeks book is great – one of my favorite stories was the night James Brown saved Boston from mass rioting by calming people down at his concert the night after MLK was assassinated. Really tense.
	11:00pm chresti: Sweet Sister Ray by The Velvet Undeground- Sweet indeed!
	11:00pm Matt: It’s like the L Ron Hubbard bookstore I walked into once, not knowing any better - it was full of books, but all one book. Of course, this is more enjoyable
	11:03pm Nate K.: ↳ drew73 @11:00 "The Man Who Could Stop a Riot with a Single Uh"
	11:04pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:59 And its Halloween theme. I'll try to check it out.
	11:04pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Matt @11:00 Hahaha
	11:04pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Underground" thank you so much, Nate K.! 🖤🖤🖤 i am still at work -- but when i walked in, this "live at the gymnasium" version was playing -- ah, pure Heaven! (just what i needed -- been a long day) then i hear that you are playing nothing but versions of Sister Ray! one of my favorites too -- do not remember when i first heard White Light/White Heat (was still in high school - mid 1970s) -- but i wish I could have thanked Mr. Reed in person for literally saving my life gotta be heading home soon -- hope to be there before the end of your show -- thank you thank you thank you! 🔪🍆💉😈🖤
	11:06pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @11:04 The wraparound is where it's at! So much fun!
	11:07pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ slugluv1313 @11:04 Alot of emoji gong with that one. Lol
	11:07pm Nate K.: ↳ slugluv1313 @11:04 So glad to hear you're digging it.
	11:07pm David Shortell: When John Cale appeared on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno told him he saw his band at the Boston Tea Party in 1969. John didn't correct him that he'd left VU by then.
	11:08pm Erin Hellfire: My Dad was the announcer for The Chevy Chase Show. Big hit.
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This program is like my entire Ray song d'être.
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: I'm going to turn the desk top over to Chresi. Great, great show Nate!
	11:11pm Nate K.: ↳ David Shortell @11:07 That's still pretty cool. Likely the coolest sentence ever spoken by Jay Leno.
	11:11pm Nate K.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:10 Thanks, Franco!
	11:14pm ultradamno: Now I'm imagining him at the Boston Tea Party trying to talk up girls about vintage cars while the VU is playing
	11:14pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Song: "Sweet Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Undeground" This entire jam will be my new ringtone and I'll pick up when it's done!
	11:15pm Nate K.: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:14 Ha!
	11:16pm ultradamno: I want to make the beginning of The Modern Dance, just that Ravinstine ringing part, my wake up alarm
	11:17pm ultradamno: *Ravenstine, rather
	11:18pm Nate K.: I wonder what Moe was up to on this.
	11:18pm Sean T-Rex: One of my favorite ring tones was, "KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER FUCKERS!" Made you wanna paryy
	11:21pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 I'm using the Twilight Zone theme now
	11:21pm Mulie: Far suburbs of Pittsburgh Sixteen and a half '72 Buddy's parents' car Schlitz pints and dirt weed Velvets on the 8-track
	11:22pm chresti: ↳ ultradamno @11:21 I'm using a train whistle
	11:23pm ultradamno: ↳ chresti @11:22 I live too close to train tracks for that to work for me
	11:23pm Nate K.: ↳ Mulie @11:21 Which suburb?
	11:24pm Mulie: South Hills, toward Clairton
	11:24pm Nate K.: I'm from the North Hills.
	11:25pm chresti: A raspberry sound might work for a ringtone. Foghorn too
	11:28pm chresti: ↳ Mulie @11:21 Right on!
	11:29pm Greg g: Diggin the show Nate , thank you and Hapoy Friday everyone. There is a song on the Orange LP where Jon Spencer yells “My Father Was Sister Ray!!”. Can’t recall the song title but keep thinking of that…
	11:30pm Nate K.: ↳ Greg g @11:29 Nice. I'll have to track that down.
	11:31pm Quinn02: you can't stop playing Sister Ray yet, it's only 11:30
	11:31pm Nate K.: ↳ Quinn02 @11:31 Oh, I didn't! This is a covert cover.
	11:32pm Sufferwords: of course Jonathon is the one to truly nail it
	11:32pm Matt: Hey, we’re the Replacements
	11:32pm Mulie: Clairton Coke Works was amazing to cruise at night, ten miles of utter industrial apocalypse on the Monongahela River
	11:34pm Jason from Houston: Proper. Good greetings, radio buddies.
	11:34pm Greg g: Yes nice one Nate!! I love Jonathan’s testimonial to the VU in the recent doc. Interesting that a guy who has come to eschew volume loves their live show so much!
	11:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: VU on break between SR sets: www.wfmu.org...
	11:36pm Nate K.: ↳ Greg g @11:34 I think that song puts it so well. Captures exactly what he think about them, but also what makes them great across the board.
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Velvet Underground" by "Jonathan Ricman" I was already in bed when you played Velvet Underground by Johnathan Richman. I just started laughing, because it made me think of the first time Chresti ever came to my house in 1983. I was busy trying to get cozy with her friend in the living room while Chresti was in the bedroom playing records. She dropped the first Modern Lovers record on a pile of cinder blocks the turntable was sitting on. She put a big scratch right thru the middle of Old Word, probably their most Velvets inspired song. Now she's in the kitchen, mixing up the medicine.
	11:45pm Jakester: I hope you play the Ergo Phizmiz version. https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/364920
	11:46pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Sister Rays Says" by "Suicide" Hell Yea!
	11:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:45 Life is a bunch of flat circles, or something.
	11:47pm mr_donutsu: All that ridiculous Grateful Dead talk earlier. Now this is how it’s done!
	11:47pm Nate K.: ↳ Jakester @11:45 Likely not going to get to it tonight.
	11:49pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Nate K. @11:47 Sister Ray .....Part 2?!?! "Coming To A WFMU Show Really Soon!"
	11:50pm chresti: Love the suicide version!
	11:51pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ chresti @11:50 How can you not? It's so good!
	11:51pm JR HTX: Hey Nate, amazing show tonight! so much Sister Rays burnin my ears and mind. Thanks! also, great meeting you at GonerFest.
	11:51pm chresti: Does tiny Tim have a version?
	11:52pm Nate K.: Sorry about that! Human error is a beautiful thing.
	11:52pm Sean T-Rex: Haha Restart the Sister Ray
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Ian Curtis got it going on for sure.
	11:52pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Nate K. @11:52 It's not free-form radio without the human element
	11:52pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "Joy Division" oh hell yeah -- and Suicide too 🖤🖤🖤
	11:53pm Nate K.: ↳ Sean T-Rex @11:52 Ian Curtis saying "ding-dong" is the only way to truly close it out.
	11:53pm Nate K.: Thanks so much for indulging me gang.
	11:54pm Jason from Houston: Thank you, Nate K.
	11:54pm drew73: Great show, Nate
	11:54pm DC_Listener: Thank you!! Great show as always
	11:55pm Pauly from Clifton: Thanks, Nate! A treat. Nicely capped off my evening.
	11:55pm Mulie: ↳ Sean T-Rex @11:52 Tru dat Cheers Nate loved that set
	11:56pm Sean T-Rex: Yea Thanks Nate The K!! Great show! Really enjoyed this one alot! Will probably listen again in archives
	11:56pm Matt: Thanks Nate, was a great show. Joy Division gets it
	11:56pm chresti: Thanks Nate!
	11:57pm prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile: Fab show, nate!
	11:59pm DT: This was both a lot, and not enough
	11:59pm slugluv1313: thank you so much, Nate -- three hours of Sister Ray? so healing and nurturing 🖤🖤🖤
	7:22am DT: What a way to start your show! White Light White Heat. Setting the bar pretty high!
	9:42am Greg from ZONE 5: No idea how you pulled this off, but I'm about to find out.
	6:21pm jdsuntan: I thought from the title we'd hear Prisonshake's "2 Sisters"...."So here's to your sister" --love that Mike Rep version (just dug it out to make dinner by a couple weeks ago).
	6:54pm jdsuntan: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:53 That so funny--I picked my cutout cd version for $5 at a mall record shop around 1991.

Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from October 20, 2023

View Nate K.'s profile

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

Upcoming events:

Fri. Dec 6th, 9pm - Midnight: Feeling Figures (More info...)
Montreal's Feeling Figures are led by the songwriting duo of Zakary Slax and Kay Moon. The band's second LP, Everything Around You, was recently co-released by K and Perennial, and while it harkens to the sounds of indie rock's golden age, the album and the band aren't that simple to pin down, as Slax and Moon's distinctive songcraft rise above any easy genre signifier. The band dropped by WFMU on their recent East Coast swing, and with a couple of extra Retail Simps in tow (Zak also does time in that band), a good time was had. Tune in Friday, December 6 to check it out.
Fri. Dec 27th, 9pm - Midnight: Count It Down: The Burn It Down! Best of 2024 Special (More info...)
Nate the K. looks back on some of his favorite LPs, EPs, singles, reissues, and archival releases from the year that was. Tracks will be played in no particular order, because to paraphrase Michael Shelley and Hot Chocolate, respectively, they're all number one hits and everyone's a winner, baby...that's no lie.

	9:23pm Adorno: Like Sister Ray says …!
	9:23pm luka: i love this song. reminds me of sister ray. i mean elephants.
	9:23pm Ted K: vocals nice and clear on this one
	9:24pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Underground" First time I heard it was on a friend's patched together stereo that was on top of his pool table in '73 (I was 15)
	9:24pm Nate K.: ↳ Ted K @9:23 Yes, no question what is being sucked on, that being a ding dong.
	9:25pm David Watts: Ooh this show will pair nicely with a Friday night of cold medicine and marijuana!
	9:25pm Nate K.: ↳ chresti @9:24 That sounds ideal.
	9:25pm mariano: You can say "ding-dong" on the air these days? What is the world coming to?
	9:25pm John L: This is gonna be the perfect soundtrack to me attempting to put together a Bissell Steam Cleaner, while a little stoned! Was anyone else at the Yo La Tengo/Feelies Hanukkah show where they did a full length Sister Ray? One of my all-time concert going highlights. OK, now back to reading these instructions...
	9:26pm chresti: ↳ Nate K. @9:25 Of course we all were snickering..
	9:27pm wenzo: Went to see Lewsberg last week… great show
	9:28pm DC_Listener: I love the Joy Division version but it's even sillier to hear Ian Curtis sing ding-dong. Love this show. Making my pledge now!
	9:28pm drew73: ↳ wenzo @9:27 They're so good... what city?
	9:28pm Nate K.: ↳ DC_Listener @9:28 That will make an appearance!
	9:29pm Andres: Some prefer to suck out the crème but I prefer a bite that takes in the chocolate and cake as well. Delicious.
	9:29pm wenzo: Detroit
	9:29pm DC_Listener: Thank you!!
	9:29pm Nate K.: ↳ drew73 @9:28 Hey, Drew!
	9:29pm Nate K.: ↳ John L @9:25 Ugh, no. Would have dug that, obviously.
	9:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ mariano @9:25 it all depends on context. as long as he's referring to the chocolate cake with a creamy filling, which of course he is, it's okay.
	9:31pm drew73: ↳ Nate K. @9:29 Hey Nate – such an audacious show tonight. Love it!
	9:32pm Andres: Known as King Dons in Canada.
	9:36pm chresti: ↳ Andres @9:29 We would get Suzy Qs
	9:37pm mariano: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:31 Ah, she might well have been sucking on his Hostess Ding Dong, good point. Me and my dirty mind.
	9:37pm DB: Setting the bar really high, really early
	9:38pm gigi_RR: i'm going to stain the carpet in honor of this set
	9:38pm okie tokie: hell yeah nice intro tonight
	9:38pm ultradamno: ↳ chresti @9:36 I would go with Choco-Bliss myself
	9:38pm drew73: you know you shouldn't do that
	9:39pm Tom P: ↳ gigi_RR @9:38 Brilliant!
	9:40pm gigi_RR: if i had a car my license plate would be 2bizysuckinonadingd0ng
	9:40pm Andres: ↳ chresti @9:36 We are denied of Suzy Qs here.
	9:40pm Erin Hellfire: Dreamy.
	9:46pm chresti: A groupie
	9:46pm Erin Hellfire: You should check out Destroy All Monsters. The band, not the movie. I LOVE Godzilla, but I'm talking about the band.
	9:46pm Nate K.: Apologies to all the Dead fans out there. You know I love you.
	9:47pm Nate K.: ↳ Erin Hellfire @9:46 Oh, I'm a fan.
	9:47pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Nate K. @9:47 !!!!!!
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @9:36 don't think i ever heard of suzy qs. definitely never saw one. except a human one.
	9:48pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Nate K. @9:46 Don't apologize Nate! They should of been cooler!
	9:49pm Nate K.: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:48 Ha. Indeed.
	9:49pm ultradamno: Someone needs to put out a lavish coffee table book of Niagara's artwork.
	9:50pm sean: did the Dead ever play sister ray? I bet Jerry would have absolutely killed it.
	9:50pm ultradamno: Also, if you like DAM, check out Beex
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: oh i see. the suzy q was hostess' rip-off of the devil dog (as the ding dong was a rip-off of the ring ding) did that company have any of it's own ideas?
	9:52pm ultradamno: Apparently the Ohio band Sister Ray never released a cover of Sister Ray...
	9:53pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ ultradamno @9:52 That's a shame. A missed opportunity in many ways.
	9:53pm DC_Listener: Anybody remember chocodiles?
	9:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ sean @9:50 In 1970, MGM/VERVE dumped all their Velvet Underground records into the cut out bins of America. I got my copy of White Light/ White Heat at Wallachs Music City for $1.98 in 1971. I was fifteen years old. A couple months later I saw The Grateful Dead. They did a lot of covers, but they DID NOT do Sister Ray.
	9:54pm sean: Dave Cloud did an amazing cover of Sister Ray, but I'm not sure if any recordings exist
	9:54pm mr_donutsu: It’s all fun and games until the call comes from INSIDE LOU’S AMPLIFIER!!!
	9:54pm ultradamno: foursquare.com...
	9:54pm prof.fuzz: twinkies should have been called ding dongs
	9:55pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:54 Ding Dongs are a thing tho
	9:55pm pgalub: Liking this freak out!
	9:56pm ultradamno: Also seems like Pop-O-Pies should have done it.
	9:56pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:54 Then, you also have Ring Dings
	9:56pm darnold_of_the_thames: Seems like Ho-hos are called cupcakes now
	9:57pm ultradamno: Choco-Bliss 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:57pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:55 right. i'm just saying that twinkies should have been called ding dongs, and ding dongs called hockey pucks or something...
	9:58pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ ultradamno @9:57 "A chocolate lovers dream!"
	9:59pm ultradamno: Was there ever a hostess product called Ding-a-Lings?
	9:59pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:57 Then, what should be a Twinkie?
	9:59pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:59 snowballs could have been twinkies?
	10:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: My maternal grandmother never drove, so occasionally, my mom would bring Grandma to visit her mother. Great-grandmother would serve Snowballs. They seem to be Twinkies, but with coconut.
	10:00pm ultradamno: ↳ Sean T-Rex @9:59 Seems like Twinkies should have been smaller versions of the same thing
	10:00pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:59 You know my next question, lol. What would be Snowballs? Just a sexual act? Lol
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: ↳ DC_Listener @9:53 i always heard of them but for some reason they weren't around when i was little. always liked the name! and happy when soul coughing referenced it later on
	10:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:00 snowballs came in cooler colors
	10:01pm northguineahills: thankfully, the playlist is being updated!
	10:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:00 yeah, snowballs are full of cream, so the name fits. we'll have to find another snack to take over the twinkie name.
	10:01pm ultradamno: So will we hear all of Sweet Sister Ray tonight? www.discogs.com...
	10:02pm Nate K.: ↳ ultradamno @10:01 That's the plan.
	10:03pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ northguineahills @10:01 Lol Will Nate be able to do Station ID?!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: weren't ho-hos the yodel rip-off, except with a terrible name?!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:57 or "mescaline cakes"
	10:04pm Sean T-Rex: Smooth Nate. A Dead Head would be as smooth
	10:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:03 well, there came our answer!
	10:05pm prof.fuzz: hola NGH!
	10:06pm northguineahills: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:05 professor!
	10:06pm Erin Hellfire: Wow. Abel Ferrara was clearly influenced by The Velvet Underground. I had the privilege of seeing him & Joe Delia have a jam session after a double feature of Bad Lieutenant and The Addiction at The Roxy. It was a weird scene, though, because Abel was drunk and invited a girl who was singing in the lounge to join him onstage. She read lyrics from her phone while she sang. It was beyond cringe. Abel was super cool, though...signed my Ms. 45 and Driller Killer blu-rays after the double feature & jam session. The craziest shit was that he took a photo of me & my old man with his cell phone because I was wearing a Ms. 45 shirt and my hubby was wearing a Driller Killer shirt.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: i never had snowballs. doesn't sound like something i'd like.
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 you should try them in hades, you might like your chances w/ them then!
	10:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:03 I ate a lot of Twinkie when I was little. My sister and I would get them from the food bus that came down our street. They were eleven cents. We were outraged when they went up to thirteen cents.
	10:08pm Mr. Corey LLC: The show tonight just hits the spot. It's the right show for right now. It's a window to the "otherness" that makes this music great. This is not escapism, it is something wholly different, accessible only to humans experiencing the human condition. No matter the state of affairs in the world, the ability to exist in this otherness is always present and available. Thank you for providing this proof this evening.
	10:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:07 "I ate a lot of Twinkie when I was little" i have a hard time fathoming this! /s
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @10:07 okay. i was going to go there tonight.
	10:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:07 This should not come as a surprise since that's your last name, sir.
	10:10pm DT: benn listening to fmu for around 40 years. This show is clearly one of the highlights. Nice job Nare.
	10:10pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @9:49 Um I totally have a Niagara coffee table book.
	10:10pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @10:09 I'm having a lot of trouble typing tonight. I should just go sit down.
	10:11pm StuartR: DJ speaks between Sister Rays
	10:11pm Noel: So, I guess, “Heroin” came after this.
	10:11pm ultradamno: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:10 Who put that out?
	10:12pm Doug in DC: That was a good one.
	10:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:10 still typing better than i!
	10:13pm DT: wow, pardon my spelling.
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:07 so, you ate a lot of twinkies, and a lot of franco american canned pasta & "meat".
	10:13pm Nate K.: ↳ Doug in DC @10:12 Doug Yule was just amazing at those Boston shows.
	10:15pm ultradamno: Also she and Pettibon should do a noir graphic novel where the bounce panels back and forth
	10:15pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:11 www.niagaradetroit.com...
	10:16pm chresti: This is nice
	10:17pm Nate K.: ↳ Noel @10:11 I think Heroin is much older than Sister Ray. There is a version from 1965.
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:13 Just Twinkie's. My mom didn't let us eat crap out of cans - she cooked everyday.
	10:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:15 Thx
	10:19pm Nate K.: When this one kicks off, it sounds like it could be "Rock 'n' Roll."
	10:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:17 canned franco laughter?
	10:20pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:17 Nothing from a can but she let you eat a food that doesn't degrade. Lol
	10:22pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 I wish we could share photos on the board! I used to help run her social media, so she sent me an autographed copy, calling me her Girl Friday. Haha
	10:23pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:20 As soon as we walked out the door we were on our own.
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: and besides, twinkies aren't really food.
	10:26pm wenzo: are they genuine food substitute
	10:26pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:23 So, that includes finding your copy of White Light/ White Heat at Wallachs Music City for $1.98?!
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: margarine also shined in the let's see how long it takes to decompose tests. what i read is that after a year or 2, not only did it not degrade but the insects didn't bother with it
	10:26pm wenzo: Food product
	10:27pm ultradamno: Cool new things released today. Martin Rev's collection of cassette work, listened to it this morning, it's awesome martin-rev.bandcamp.com... New Crime & The City Solution is out, haven't listened to the stream of it yet (have a CD coming) but I like what I've heard crimeandthecitysolution.bandcamp.com... and the vinyl of Messer Chups terrific new ep (the digital version has been out for a bit) is shipping ahead of sched. messer-chups.bandcamp.com...
	10:30pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Undeground" Man, I wish I had been at any of these shows!
	10:30pm Adorno: Amazing guitar work!
	10:31pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:23 i ate twinkies every school day for a year or 2 in jr high. it was really an addiction...no thought necessary, i WOULD get them. my mother wouldn't have been happy about that but what could she do?
	10:31pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:27 I saw Martin Rev play at Seaport Music Festival.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:31 In junior high, my addiction was fruit pies. Big surprise, right?
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:26 I guess. But I did but the banana album when I was with my mom. At Newberrie's!
	10:38pm Erin Hellfire: I'm literally ready to buy everyone Pizza rn because it's a million times better than Twinkies and snow balls and all that junk.
	10:39pm ultradamno: The pies at McDonald's were a terrorist plot to burn the mouths of children
	10:39pm Erin Hellfire: Twinkies are pretty good, though.
	10:39pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:39 🤣
	10:40pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:38 Hahaha Pizza is part of another food group altogether
	10:40pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ ultradamno @10:39 Dude! Did you hear about the lawsuit a kid's family filed because she was burned my chicken mcnuggets?
	10:41pm chresti: Such polite applause👏🏻
	10:41pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "Doctor Mix & the Remix" Oh yea, digging this
	10:41pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:40 Pizza is one of the most important things in my life. I'm not kidding.
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: My sister and I would break a Twinkie in half, stick in a finger, pull it out covered with goo and say it was our mom washing her hair.
	10:43pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:42 Wtf lmao
	10:43pm chresti: We got into the hostess pies. Every Friday night on tv trays with Star Trek
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:38 i haven't eaten a twinkie since about when you were born!
	10:43pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:41 My friend from college ate so much pizza that the garbage was just pizza boxes. Pizza is life.
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:43 We were young dadaists.
	10:44pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:43 Dude I was born in 81. Lol
	10:45pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:43 I want to meet him...and steal his pizza. 😜
	10:46pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:44 I'm totally into it.
	10:47pm Tom P: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "Doctor Mix & the Remix" Good stuff. Not trying to copy the original. Adding their own twist, in the same spirit
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:44 when i was over my twinkie addiction, ~1977 i never ate another one.

	10:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: A college buddy came home from the bars one night and stuck a frozen pizza in the oven and then fell asleep. The next morning, the pizza was charred black as coal.
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: I never attempted a homemade pizza until I started living with Chresti. She taught me how, and I ran with the ball... Of dough!

	10:51pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:50 ?????
	10:52pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:51 You wake uo with the smell of propane and brunt food.
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:49 I did that with a pot of beans. I put it on the stove and went hiking. When I got home, my roommate was fuming, and the bean pot was on the back stairs. The beans looked like a meteor that hit the Earth!
	10:53pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:52 Pizza on the grill?!
	10:54pm chresti: See you coel (twinges all the way!)
	10:54pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:53 🤣
	10:54pm Sean T-Rex: Nice shout out to the record fair! I ended up $350 poorer but some awesome stuff. Anyone else go and get something cool?
	10:55pm Tom P: Have to head out too. Nate K, thanks for this great SR show. Will def. listen to the rest on archives!
	10:56pm Franco Twinkie: Astral Weeks is a great! In the pantheon of useless music books, it's a shining star.
	10:56pm chresti: *twinkies evil spellcheck
	10:56pm Sean T-Rex: The unknown Always good with me
	10:56pm Nate K.: ↳ Tom P @10:55 Thanks, Tom!

	10:59pm Nate K.: ↳ Matt @10:57 {chef kiss}
	10:59pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @10:54 You know what Rex says..."Records before rent". I paid $100 for the record I'm holding in my profile photo. A rare gem! Everyone should watch THE MONSTER CLUB before the best month of the year comes to an end!
	11:00pm drew73: That Astral Weeks book is great – one of my favorite stories was the night James Brown saved Boston from mass rioting by calming people down at his concert the night after MLK was assassinated. Really tense.
	11:00pm chresti: Sweet Sister Ray by The Velvet Undeground- Sweet indeed!
	11:00pm Matt: It’s like the L Ron Hubbard bookstore I walked into once, not knowing any better - it was full of books, but all one book. Of course, this is more enjoyable
	11:03pm Nate K.: ↳ drew73 @11:00 "The Man Who Could Stop a Riot with a Single Uh"
	11:04pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Erin Hellfire @10:59 And its Halloween theme. I'll try to check it out.
	11:04pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Matt @11:00 Hahaha
	11:04pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Underground" thank you so much, Nate K.! 🖤🖤🖤 i am still at work -- but when i walked in, this "live at the gymnasium" version was playing -- ah, pure Heaven! (just what i needed -- been a long day) then i hear that you are playing nothing but versions of Sister Ray! one of my favorites too -- do not remember when i first heard White Light/White Heat (was still in high school - mid 1970s) -- but i wish I could have thanked Mr. Reed in person for literally saving my life gotta be heading home soon -- hope to be there before the end of your show -- thank you thank you thank you! 🔪🍆💉😈🖤
	11:06pm Erin Hellfire: ↳ Sean T-Rex @11:04 The wraparound is where it's at! So much fun!
	11:07pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ slugluv1313 @11:04 Alot of emoji gong with that one. Lol
	11:07pm Nate K.: ↳ slugluv1313 @11:04 So glad to hear you're digging it.
	11:07pm David Shortell: When John Cale appeared on the Tonight Show, Jay Leno told him he saw his band at the Boston Tea Party in 1969. John didn't correct him that he'd left VU by then.
	11:08pm Erin Hellfire: My Dad was the announcer for The Chevy Chase Show. Big hit.
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This program is like my entire Ray song d'être.
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: I'm going to turn the desk top over to Chresi. Great, great show Nate!
	11:11pm Nate K.: ↳ David Shortell @11:07 That's still pretty cool. Likely the coolest sentence ever spoken by Jay Leno.
	11:11pm Nate K.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:10 Thanks, Franco!
	11:14pm ultradamno: Now I'm imagining him at the Boston Tea Party trying to talk up girls about vintage cars while the VU is playing
	11:14pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Song: "Sweet Sister Ray" by "The Velvet Undeground" This entire jam will be my new ringtone and I'll pick up when it's done!
	11:15pm Nate K.: ↳ AMYGDALA @11:14 Ha!
	11:16pm ultradamno: I want to make the beginning of The Modern Dance, just that Ravinstine ringing part, my wake up alarm
	11:17pm ultradamno: *Ravenstine, rather
	11:18pm Nate K.: I wonder what Moe was up to on this.
	11:18pm Sean T-Rex: One of my favorite ring tones was, "KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHER FUCKERS!" Made you wanna paryy
	11:21pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 I'm using the Twilight Zone theme now
	11:21pm Mulie: Far suburbs of Pittsburgh Sixteen and a half '72 Buddy's parents' car Schlitz pints and dirt weed Velvets on the 8-track
	11:22pm chresti: ↳ ultradamno @11:21 I'm using a train whistle
	11:23pm ultradamno: ↳ chresti @11:22 I live too close to train tracks for that to work for me
	11:23pm Nate K.: ↳ Mulie @11:21 Which suburb?
	11:24pm Mulie: South Hills, toward Clairton
	11:24pm Nate K.: I'm from the North Hills.
	11:25pm chresti: A raspberry sound might work for a ringtone. Foghorn too
	11:28pm chresti: ↳ Mulie @11:21 Right on!
	11:29pm Greg g: Diggin the show Nate , thank you and Hapoy Friday everyone. There is a song on the Orange LP where Jon Spencer yells “My Father Was Sister Ray!!”. Can’t recall the song title but keep thinking of that…
	11:30pm Nate K.: ↳ Greg g @11:29 Nice. I'll have to track that down.
	11:31pm Quinn02: you can't stop playing Sister Ray yet, it's only 11:30
	11:31pm Nate K.: ↳ Quinn02 @11:31 Oh, I didn't! This is a covert cover.
	11:32pm Sufferwords: of course Jonathon is the one to truly nail it
	11:32pm Matt: Hey, we’re the Replacements
	11:32pm Mulie: Clairton Coke Works was amazing to cruise at night, ten miles of utter industrial apocalypse on the Monongahela River
	11:34pm Jason from Houston: Proper. Good greetings, radio buddies.
	11:34pm Greg g: Yes nice one Nate!! I love Jonathan’s testimonial to the VU in the recent doc. Interesting that a guy who has come to eschew volume loves their live show so much!
	11:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: VU on break between SR sets: www.wfmu.org...
	11:36pm Nate K.: ↳ Greg g @11:34 I think that song puts it so well. Captures exactly what he think about them, but also what makes them great across the board.
	11:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Velvet Underground" by "Jonathan Ricman" I was already in bed when you played Velvet Underground by Johnathan Richman. I just started laughing, because it made me think of the first time Chresti ever came to my house in 1983. I was busy trying to get cozy with her friend in the living room while Chresti was in the bedroom playing records. She dropped the first Modern Lovers record on a pile of cinder blocks the turntable was sitting on. She put a big scratch right thru the middle of Old Word, probably their most Velvets inspired song. Now she's in the kitchen, mixing up the medicine.
	11:45pm Jakester: I hope you play the Ergo Phizmiz version. https://secondhandsongs.com/performance/364920
	11:46pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Sister Rays Says" by "Suicide" Hell Yea!
	11:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:45 Life is a bunch of flat circles, or something.
	11:47pm mr_donutsu: All that ridiculous Grateful Dead talk earlier. Now this is how it’s done!
	11:47pm Nate K.: ↳ Jakester @11:45 Likely not going to get to it tonight.
	11:49pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Nate K. @11:47 Sister Ray .....Part 2?!?! "Coming To A WFMU Show Really Soon!"
	11:50pm chresti: Love the suicide version!
	11:51pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ chresti @11:50 How can you not? It's so good!
	11:51pm JR HTX: Hey Nate, amazing show tonight! so much Sister Rays burnin my ears and mind. Thanks! also, great meeting you at GonerFest.
	11:51pm chresti: Does tiny Tim have a version?
	11:52pm Nate K.: Sorry about that! Human error is a beautiful thing.
	11:52pm Sean T-Rex: Haha Restart the Sister Ray
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: Ian Curtis got it going on for sure.
	11:52pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Nate K. @11:52 It's not free-form radio without the human element
	11:52pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Sister Ray" by "Joy Division" oh hell yeah -- and Suicide too 🖤🖤🖤
	11:53pm Nate K.: ↳ Sean T-Rex @11:52 Ian Curtis saying "ding-dong" is the only way to truly close it out.
	11:53pm Nate K.: Thanks so much for indulging me gang.
	11:54pm Jason from Houston: Thank you, Nate K.
	11:54pm drew73: Great show, Nate

	11:56pm Sean T-Rex: Yea Thanks Nate The K!! Great show! Really enjoyed this one alot! Will probably listen again in archives
	11:56pm Matt: Thanks Nate, was a great show. Joy Division gets it
	11:56pm chresti: Thanks Nate!
	11:57pm prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile: Fab show, nate!
	11:59pm DT: This was both a lot, and not enough
	11:59pm slugluv1313: thank you so much, Nate -- three hours of Sister Ray? so healing and nurturing 🖤🖤🖤
	7:22am DT: What a way to start your show! White Light White Heat. Setting the bar pretty high!
	9:42am Greg from ZONE 5: No idea how you pulled this off, but I'm about to find out.
	6:21pm jdsuntan: I thought from the title we'd hear Prisonshake's "2 Sisters"...."So here's to your sister" --love that Mike Rep version (just dug it out to make dinner by a couple weeks ago).
	6:54pm jdsuntan: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:53 That so funny--I picked my cutout cd version for $5 at a mall record shop around 1991.
