	7:10pm tom tom the pipers son: rosemary meyer, bernadette mayer's sister an interesting artist in her own right, had them confused at first i beleve philip guston did some drawings for bernadette mayer text
	7:10pm tom tom the pipers son: www.swissinstitute.net...
	7:11pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 it's been a while since i've been there...
	7:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 nix on the guston/ bernadette meyer
	7:18pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:17 Guston / Coolidge, yes tho
	7:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @7:11 yeah i haven't been to the 'new' location, but read about this show
	7:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:18 right...
	🇰🇷 7:21pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @7:03 Here, places started closing earlier when the homeless population exploded during the pandemic
	🇰🇷 7:23pm chresti: ↳ chresti @7:21 at least that's my observation..
	🇰🇷 7:29pm WR: Hello Gary and folks.
	7:30pm Gary: WR!
	7:31pm tom tom the pipers son: this headline in times, some sort of freudian slip or they know what they're doing... Jeff Bezos’s Big Rocket Moves Into View and Closer to Launch
	7:32pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:31 Haha, sounds intentional
	🇰🇷 7:36pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:31 is Jeff going to ride his rocket?
	7:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:32 but is it satire or homage
	7:38pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:37 Could just be horny?
	7:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @7:36 if he listens to 'whitey on the moon' he might get the idea
	7:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:38 the editor?
	7:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:38 with these oligarchs' rockets, gives new meaning to the phrase 'money shot'
	7:45pm Listener Gregory: The latest rocket that will attempt a moon landing contains a Jeff Koons artwork. The article didn’t explain why… Is there a buyer up there, or is this just a site for safe disposal?
	7:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:45 they're just behaving like children, putting a toy soldier on a toy boat
	7:50pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:45 Koons' moon-replicas art is likely an attempt to puff up the moon's ego so as to not notice the lunar lander landing on it
	7:51pm Jill B.: Hi Gary, Sorry I'm late to the bodega. I like what's playing right now. Temps here have gotten to the upper 40's and low 50's. Yippee!
	7:51pm Gary: ↳ Jill B. @7:51 Mom! Nice, maybe you can take Tinker out for a nice walk
	🇰🇷 7:51pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:31 the chief executive of Blue Origin's last name is "Limp"
	7:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @7:51 funny...
	7:53pm Gary: ↳ Song: "Wake Up! My Mona 醒來吧!雷夢娜" by "Zhang Di 張帝" I played this one for you kids recently, but couldn't resist a repeat
	7:53pm peter: ↳ Gary @7:53 i thought so haha.. not complaining
	7:57pm tom tom the pipers son: it's not like these oligarchs have actually done their own research for these rockets or anything for that matter, they've used gov't research and have given nothing back
	🇰🇷 8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + hullo +
	🇰🇷 8:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 恭喜發財 Gung Hei Fat Choi ! Happy Year of the Wood 🐉Dragon !
	8:06pm Gary: RevRab!
	8:06pm Listener Gregory: Abdul!! He plays a lot in the superb Julius Hemphill box released last year, reminding me of just how good he was.
	🇰🇷 8:10pm Bobby: Hello Gary and friends
	8:10pm Gary: Bobby!
	8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: volume up...
	8:15pm Carmichael: Heya Gary. Is there such a thing as skronk guitar?
	8:16pm tom tom the pipers son: chadbourne
	8:17pm Dean: Melody's nice, and I can dance to it!
	8:17pm Gary: Charmichael! "Lindsay had a cameo appearance in the Madonna vehicle Desperately Seeking Susan and can be seen playing "skronk" guitar in Downtown 81, a film about the art and music in the East Village featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat and Deborah Harry." trouserpress.com...
	8:18pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:17 Dean!
	8:19pm Carmichael: Ha, I guess so!
	8:21pm tom tom the pipers son: i can dance against it...
	8:22pm Dean: ...or away from it. Hey, I'm trying to vacuum here!
	8:23pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:22 Haha
	8:23pm mackeral: ↳ Gary @8:17 Downtown 81 looks cool...
	8:23pm mackeral: yo Dean!
	8:24pm Gary: ↳ mackeral @8:23 Oh my gosh, that is a MUST see, Mackeral
	8:24pm mackeral: ↳ Gary @8:24 on it
	8:25pm mackeral: ↳ mackeral @8:24 I've still got La Haine queued, but I'm stuck in a Zatoichi marathon
	8:26pm Jill B.: Want to know how Mom reacts to this one????
	8:26pm Dean: OED on "skronk": interjection 1897– U.S. Representing any of various loud, harsh sounds. Somewhat rare. 1897 He's all hoarse, and skronk, skronk, like a frawg. New York Observer 29 April 628/1 1985 My car's brakes are going ‘skronk’. Loudly. Aiken (South Carolina) Standard 10 October 5a/1 U.S. English noun 1981– The use of dissonance or inharmonious noise, esp. loud distorted guitar, in certain forms of popular and experimental music. 1981 Christgau calls it ‘skronk’. I have always opted for the more obvious ‘horrible noise’. Village Voice (New York) 30 September 57/1 1995 The improvised elements challenge the hegemony of the strings, the skronk of Cochrane's guitar at times reducing them to helpless glissandi and decaying phrases. A. Jones, Plunderphonics, 'Pataphysics & Pop Mech. 119 1998 In their own words, they are purveyors of ‘free jazz skronk’ which, in layman's terms, can be read as either ‘music at its purest and most primeval’ or ‘arty bollocks played by buffoons’. Melody Maker 28 February 44/4 2007 Their fifth album is shrill, theatrical, and unhinged, sometimes more reminiscent of the deranged skronk of Pussy Galore. Uncut February 71/5
	8:26pm Gary: ↳ Jill B. @8:26 Haha, hands over ears?
	8:27pm Dean: And ngram viewer: https://shorturl.at/gmuZ1
	8:27pm Dean: Mr. mackeral, howdy.
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: Just to be clear, have we entered the low energy portion of the show?
	8:28pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:28 Oh shoot I forgot to let the energy out
	8:29pm Dean: This is Music for Airports played backwards.
	8:30pm Dean: And I admire how they don't stop to tune up.
	8:30pm tom tom the pipers son: if these people didn't have this outlet what would they do with the energy?
	8:31pm Dean: Homework?
	8:32pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "My Friend, Blood Shaking My Heart" by "Masayuki T... hoo boy, that was exhilarating
	8:32pm Dean: My mom listening to New Direction Unit would have shrieked, "Turn that goddamn music up!"
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: They also do a pretty cover of “Close to You” on that record.
	🇰🇷 8:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very interesting. I'd've thot for sure 'skronk' started with sax reed bell honking for sure.
	8:33pm tim abdellah: Checkin' in midway thru the midwinter show - greetings good bodega people
	🇰🇷 8:34pm chresti: ↳ Song: "My Friend, Blood Shaking My Heart" by "Masayuki T... What's the "crullest" month if not april?
	8:34pm mackeral: ↳ tim abdellah @8:33 Tim!
	8:35pm tim abdellah: ↳ mackeral @8:34 Mackeral!!
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: april is the crullest donut
	8:36pm Dean: Dig this: some reissue label recently reissued a Khan Jamal album. Price tag is $45. I contacted a retailer, Stranded Records, to ask if it were a double LP. It is not, and since Stranded doesn't set the price, that was that. I informed a friend, who found an ebay offer for the album that had failed find a buyer, opening bid $14.58. I bid, and won!
	8:36pm tim abdellah: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:36 🤣
	8:37pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @8:36 nice!
	8:37pm Gary: Tim!
	8:38pm Dean: "Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote..."
	8:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:36 winner winner
	🇰🇷 8:38pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:36 Ha!
	8:39pm Dean: Winner, for sure, tom tom the pipers son. My buddy is looking out for me.
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ....;)
	8:41pm Dean: I wish I'd been in that village in '79.
	8:43pm Dean: More on "skronk": "The writer Lester Bangs attributes the term to fellow U.S. music critic Robert Christgau: see quot. 1981 at sense B"
	8:47pm Listener Gregory: I once saw Arto Lindsay show up late onstage for a set w John Zorn. He plugged in his guitar and gave it a harsh strum. Ouch! It was clearly far out of tune. He looked at Zorn and nodded, “Ready to go!” That was my first real experience with skronk guitar. Excellent show.
	8:49pm mackeral: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 this makes me think of Col. Bruce Hampton, whose instructions for tuning the guitar were to straighten all the tuning pegs so they were all aligned neatly together
	8:51pm Dean: Just noticed the program's theme. Here's Mayer's obit: https://shorturl.at/suOVW
	8:53pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:51 I saw her perform Memory in San Francisco in the 1980s and the first place I lived here in New York was a sublet for a couple of months of her apartment on A & 4th in the Summer of 1997
	8:55pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Side A" by "Roger Dfouni روجيه دفوني" this is wonderful
	8:57pm Dean: That would have been amazing, Gary. For some reason, the obit brings to mind Christian Boltanski. Do you know his work? Not poetry, as far as I know.
	8:58pm Dean: Not poetry, but very much exercises of memory.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: @mackeral, that system would be perfect for me.
	8:59pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:57 Oh, nice -- no, I didn't know about him
	9:01pm Dean: Well, then, here's his NYT obit: https://shorturl.at/aisIK
	9:01pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Samia" by "Malayeen" This is unusual and interesting!
	9:04pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @9:01 I think each track is named after a different dancer and that Samia = Samia Galal, but I'm not 100% sure of that
	9:05pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:01 thank you
	9:05pm Dean: Let's test your hypothesis, Gary. Is one of the tracks titled Fred? Rudolf?
	9:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:57 interesting does she remind you of boltanski or a subject that boltanski would have picked
	9:10pm Dean: Her openness to multiple media, installation, and treatment of memory reminded me, I think. I first learned about Boltanski in the late '80s or thereabouts. I haven't spent much time since then thinking about him, but that experience alone struck me. A book, perhaps an exhibition catalog, that I checked out from UCLA's library when I was there, was fascinating. And then I remember learning that he had died.
	🇰🇷 9:11pm Bobby: ↳ Song: "Samia" by "Malayeen" !!
	9:11pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:05 Will you accept Fifi?
	9:11pm coelacanth∅: good evening Gary!
	9:11pm Gary: Ceolacanth!
	9:12pm Gary: ↳ Gary @9:11 Fifi = Fifi Abdou, I'm thinking
	9:12pm Dean: I can imagine taking those two obituaries and presenting them synoptically, noting their correlations. Gary, I have never rejected Fifi.
	9:13pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:12 No one in their right mind rejects Fifi
	9:13pm Mike W.: present, listening Hey Gary!
	9:13pm Gary: Mike W!
	9:13pm Dean: That narrows the population quite a bit.
	9:15pm Dean: First reading: "Sheherazade (Mouthwash)"
	9:15pm Dean: The Thousand and One Nights of Brushing and Flossing
	9:15pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:15 Farouz sings of the refreshing quality of minty SheherazadeTM
	9:15pm Jill B.: I am signing off. Nighty night.
	9:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:06 i think mayer's trancendentalist viewpoint and just the way she related to life would have been interesting to boltanski asx subject matter how memory relates to transcendentalism or the fleeting yes the expanded field for poetry, i don't really have a grasp on "memory" but i see the corelation to photography readid mayer's obit i thought i would like to have known her, don't quite feel that with boltanski
	9:16pm Gary: Night, Mom!
	9:16pm tom tom the pipers son: nice talking about dead people to this music, not in a morbid sense
	9:17pm Dean: Four out of five dentists recommend Fairuz, especially in 5/4.
	🇰🇷 9:19pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 I forgot how to tune the guitar. I'll tune by earr until a string breaks.
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:16 the music has a longing for what is perhaps unreachable
	9:22pm Listener Gregory: @chresti, I do that until all the strings have broken. Then we are all safe.
	9:24pm tom tom the pipers son: that was regal...
	🇰🇷 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh there's an App to Tune now. Comes with a little stash of dopamine tablets.
	9:26pm Dean: chresti, I'm the same way with pianos.
	🇰🇷 9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:24 ...sublingual. Even self-tuning gittarz - tho haven't seen anything about those for a minute.
	9:29pm Listener Gregory: Jill is going to be sorry she left early!
	9:30pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:29 Haha
	🇰🇷 9:30pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:22 Ha!
	🇰🇷 9:32pm chresti: ↳ Dean @9:26 oh yeah- I'm a pounder!
	🇰🇷 9:35pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Qabl W Ba'l - قبل و بعل" by "Muqata'a" At a lower volume, I hear "polka dots"
	9:36pm Gary: ↳ chresti @9:35 At a certain level it's all polka dots
	9:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Qabl W Ba'l - قبل و بعل" by "Muqata'a" that was groovy
	🇰🇷 9:37pm chresti: ↳ Gary @9:36 Haha!
	9:37pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:36 muqataa.bandcamp.com
	9:37pm Dean: This shit's great. Reminds me of Wolfgang Mitterer's spectacular Radio Fractal.
	9:38pm Listener Gregory: Is Muqata’a sampling Tom Waits???
	9:38pm rw: I’ve only been catching bits and pieces but Bodega Pop Live seems out of control tonight!
	9:39pm Gary: RW!
	🇰🇷 9:39pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:32 not really- I miss having a piano around.
	9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @9:37 thanks, bookmarked for later
	9:39pm rw: I mean more out of control than usual. And is it Live or is it just Pop? I’m confused.
	🇰🇷 9:40pm chresti: rw!
	9:41pm Gary: ↳ rw @9:39 I dropped "live" a couple of years ago because the blog is essential dead so there was no need to distinguish the broadcast from the blog
	9:41pm Dean: Sold out vinyl, a regular occurrence. Pisses me off, because I've been "pro vinyl" for five or six decades. But I eventually came around to the convenience--a word I despise--of digital, i.e., CDs. I imagine Bandcamp bands could make more by offering CD as well. But as folks migrate to "pure" digital stream, I lose out. And so it goes.
	9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Al Watar Al Wiswas - الوتر الوسواس" by "Muqata'a" this is some of my favorite recently heard music
	9:43pm Dean: My rant @9:41 pertains to Muqata'a.
	9:51pm Gary: Tonight on Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse, "Is Fading in the Song of Horses" wfmu.org...
	9:51pm Dean: Anybody know Keith Jarrett's recording of Hartmann/Gurdjieff? I've always been wary of it...
	9:52pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:51 I didn't know he did that!
	🇰🇷 9:52pm Mxter Baba: slipping gently into the stream, hello!
	9:52pm Gary: Mxter Baba!
	9:52pm Dean: Yeah: https://www.discogs.com/master/119160-G-I-Gurdjieff-Keith-Jarrett-Sacred-Hymns
	🇰🇷 9:53pm chresti: ↳ Song: ""The Struggle of the Magicians" (Excerpt No. 1)" ... Mxtr Babakins!
	9:53pm Ike: This is cool.
	9:55pm Gary: Ike!
	9:55pm Listener Gregory: I think I avoided that album as a matter of principle. But I have so many Jarrett records that I can’t remember which ones they are. His recording of the Shostakovich preludes and fugues was brilliant (to my uninformed mind), btw. I say this because if I wait for someone to ask me, it will never be said.
	9:56pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:55 I was a big Keith Jarrett fan in the 1980s and I've always wondered how I would respond to the music now
	🇰🇷 9:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	9:58pm mackeral: bunch of good fun, as usual. Thanks Gary and Bodega friends. nighty night!
	🇰🇷 9:58pm Bobby: Love the show tonight thank you!
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks gary
	🇰🇷 9:59pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	9:59pm rw: Thanks Gary! Hey chresti!
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: Very nice show, Gary. The energy did eventually reduce a bit. Good night to all the Bo-peeps!
	9:59pm tim abdellah: Gnite and thanks Gary!
	9:59pm mackeral: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:55 definitely, the Shostakovich
	🇰🇷 10:00pm Mxter Baba: thanks!
	10:00pm Gary: Night everyone!

	7:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello gary and people...
	🇰🇷 7:02pm chresti: Hi Gary and bodega! May I have a carton of twinkies?
	7:03pm northguineahills: why are the bodegas in my barrio not open 24 hrs? most places close around here around 9 or 10pm. i hold gary personally responsible! 😜
	7:04pm northguineahills: ↳ mackeral @7:01 thanks for your comment on david's show!
	7:04pm peter: Hey Gary, et. al.!
	7:04pm northguineahills: nyege nyege tapes is one of my favorite labels. from club friendly beats, to ambient, rock, and minimalist experimental, it has it all!
	7:05pm Gary: Evening, Mackeral, Gregory, Tomx2, Chresti, NGH, and Peter!
	7:06pm Jeff Golick: Gary! I will be visiting the Bodega next month! Will the sonic residue be cleaned up by then?
	7:07pm mackeral: ↳ northguineahills @7:04 right on
	7:08pm Gary: ↳ Jeff Golick @7:06 Jeff! Yes, and you will be bringing along some jazz that you believe Leos will like
	7:09pm Listener Gregory: Turning the volume up. This is catchy.
	7:10pm tom tom the pipers son: rosemary meyer, bernadette mayer's sister an interesting artist in her own right, had them confused at first i beleve philip guston did some drawings for bernadette mayer text
	7:10pm tom tom the pipers son: www.swissinstitute.net...
	7:11pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 it's been a while since i've been there...
	7:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 nix on the guston/ bernadette meyer
	7:18pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:17 Guston / Coolidge, yes tho
	7:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @7:11 yeah i haven't been to the 'new' location, but read about this show
	7:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:18 right...
	🇰🇷 7:21pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @7:03 Here, places started closing earlier when the homeless population exploded during the pandemic
	🇰🇷 7:23pm chresti: ↳ chresti @7:21 at least that's my observation..
	🇰🇷 7:29pm WR: Hello Gary and folks.
	7:30pm Gary: WR!
	7:31pm tom tom the pipers son: this headline in times, some sort of freudian slip or they know what they're doing... Jeff Bezos’s Big Rocket Moves Into View and Closer to Launch
	7:32pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:31 Haha, sounds intentional
	🇰🇷 7:36pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:31 is Jeff going to ride his rocket?
	7:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:32 but is it satire or homage
	7:38pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:37 Could just be horny?
	7:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @7:36 if he listens to 'whitey on the moon' he might get the idea
	7:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:38 the editor?
	7:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:38 with these oligarchs' rockets, gives new meaning to the phrase 'money shot'
	7:45pm Listener Gregory: The latest rocket that will attempt a moon landing contains a Jeff Koons artwork. The article didn’t explain why… Is there a buyer up there, or is this just a site for safe disposal?
	7:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:45 they're just behaving like children, putting a toy soldier on a toy boat
	7:50pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:45 Koons' moon-replicas art is likely an attempt to puff up the moon's ego so as to not notice the lunar lander landing on it
	7:51pm Jill B.: Hi Gary, Sorry I'm late to the bodega. I like what's playing right now. Temps here have gotten to the upper 40's and low 50's. Yippee!
	7:51pm Gary: ↳ Jill B. @7:51 Mom! Nice, maybe you can take Tinker out for a nice walk
	🇰🇷 7:51pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:31 the chief executive of Blue Origin's last name is "Limp"
	7:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @7:51 funny...
	7:53pm Gary: ↳ Song: "Wake Up! My Mona 醒來吧!雷夢娜" by "Zhang Di 張帝" I played this one for you kids recently, but couldn't resist a repeat
	7:53pm peter: ↳ Gary @7:53 i thought so haha.. not complaining
	7:57pm tom tom the pipers son: it's not like these oligarchs have actually done their own research for these rockets or anything for that matter, they've used gov't research and have given nothing back
	🇰🇷 8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + hullo +
	🇰🇷 8:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 恭喜發財 Gung Hei Fat Choi ! Happy Year of the Wood 🐉Dragon !
	8:06pm Gary: RevRab!
	8:06pm Listener Gregory: Abdul!! He plays a lot in the superb Julius Hemphill box released last year, reminding me of just how good he was.
	🇰🇷 8:10pm Bobby: Hello Gary and friends
	8:10pm Gary: Bobby!
	8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: volume up...
	8:15pm Carmichael: Heya Gary. Is there such a thing as skronk guitar?
	8:16pm tom tom the pipers son: chadbourne
	8:17pm Dean: Melody's nice, and I can dance to it!
	8:17pm Gary: Charmichael! "Lindsay had a cameo appearance in the Madonna vehicle Desperately Seeking Susan and can be seen playing "skronk" guitar in Downtown 81, a film about the art and music in the East Village featuring Jean-Michel Basquiat and Deborah Harry." trouserpress.com...
	8:18pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:17 Dean!
	8:19pm Carmichael: Ha, I guess so!
	8:21pm tom tom the pipers son: i can dance against it...
	8:22pm Dean: ...or away from it. Hey, I'm trying to vacuum here!
	8:23pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:22 Haha
	8:23pm mackeral: ↳ Gary @8:17 Downtown 81 looks cool...
	8:23pm mackeral: yo Dean!
	8:24pm Gary: ↳ mackeral @8:23 Oh my gosh, that is a MUST see, Mackeral
	8:24pm mackeral: ↳ Gary @8:24 on it
	8:25pm mackeral: ↳ mackeral @8:24 I've still got La Haine queued, but I'm stuck in a Zatoichi marathon
	8:26pm Jill B.: Want to know how Mom reacts to this one????
	8:26pm Dean: OED on "skronk": interjection 1897– U.S. Representing any of various loud, harsh sounds. Somewhat rare. 1897 He's all hoarse, and skronk, skronk, like a frawg. New York Observer 29 April 628/1 1985 My car's brakes are going ‘skronk’. Loudly. Aiken (South Carolina) Standard 10 October 5a/1 U.S. English noun 1981– The use of dissonance or inharmonious noise, esp. loud distorted guitar, in certain forms of popular and experimental music. 1981 Christgau calls it ‘skronk’. I have always opted for the more obvious ‘horrible noise’. Village Voice (New York) 30 September 57/1 1995 The improvised elements challenge the hegemony of the strings, the skronk of Cochrane's guitar at times reducing them to helpless glissandi and decaying phrases. A. Jones, Plunderphonics, 'Pataphysics & Pop Mech. 119 1998 In their own words, they are purveyors of ‘free jazz skronk’ which, in layman's terms, can be read as either ‘music at its purest and most primeval’ or ‘arty bollocks played by buffoons’. Melody Maker 28 February 44/4 2007 Their fifth album is shrill, theatrical, and unhinged, sometimes more reminiscent of the deranged skronk of Pussy Galore. Uncut February 71/5
	8:26pm Gary: ↳ Jill B. @8:26 Haha, hands over ears?
	8:27pm Dean: And ngram viewer: https://shorturl.at/gmuZ1
	8:27pm Dean: Mr. mackeral, howdy.
	8:28pm Listener Gregory: Just to be clear, have we entered the low energy portion of the show?
	8:28pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:28 Oh shoot I forgot to let the energy out
	8:29pm Dean: This is Music for Airports played backwards.
	8:30pm Dean: And I admire how they don't stop to tune up.
	8:30pm tom tom the pipers son: if these people didn't have this outlet what would they do with the energy?
	8:31pm Dean: Homework?
	8:32pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "My Friend, Blood Shaking My Heart" by "Masayuki T... hoo boy, that was exhilarating
	8:32pm Dean: My mom listening to New Direction Unit would have shrieked, "Turn that goddamn music up!"
	8:32pm Listener Gregory: They also do a pretty cover of “Close to You” on that record.
	🇰🇷 8:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very interesting. I'd've thot for sure 'skronk' started with sax reed bell honking for sure.
	8:33pm tim abdellah: Checkin' in midway thru the midwinter show - greetings good bodega people
	🇰🇷 8:34pm chresti: ↳ Song: "My Friend, Blood Shaking My Heart" by "Masayuki T... What's the "crullest" month if not april?
	8:34pm mackeral: ↳ tim abdellah @8:33 Tim!
	8:35pm tim abdellah: ↳ mackeral @8:34 Mackeral!!
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: april is the crullest donut
	8:36pm Dean: Dig this: some reissue label recently reissued a Khan Jamal album. Price tag is $45. I contacted a retailer, Stranded Records, to ask if it were a double LP. It is not, and since Stranded doesn't set the price, that was that. I informed a friend, who found an ebay offer for the album that had failed find a buyer, opening bid $14.58. I bid, and won!
	8:36pm tim abdellah: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:36 🤣
	8:37pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @8:36 nice!
	8:37pm Gary: Tim!
	8:38pm Dean: "Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote..."
	8:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:36 winner winner
	🇰🇷 8:38pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:36 Ha!
	8:39pm Dean: Winner, for sure, tom tom the pipers son. My buddy is looking out for me.
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ....;)
	8:41pm Dean: I wish I'd been in that village in '79.
	8:43pm Dean: More on "skronk": "The writer Lester Bangs attributes the term to fellow U.S. music critic Robert Christgau: see quot. 1981 at sense B"
	8:47pm Listener Gregory: I once saw Arto Lindsay show up late onstage for a set w John Zorn. He plugged in his guitar and gave it a harsh strum. Ouch! It was clearly far out of tune. He looked at Zorn and nodded, “Ready to go!” That was my first real experience with skronk guitar. Excellent show.
	8:49pm mackeral: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 this makes me think of Col. Bruce Hampton, whose instructions for tuning the guitar were to straighten all the tuning pegs so they were all aligned neatly together
	8:51pm Dean: Just noticed the program's theme. Here's Mayer's obit: https://shorturl.at/suOVW
	8:53pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:51 I saw her perform Memory in San Francisco in the 1980s and the first place I lived here in New York was a sublet for a couple of months of her apartment on A & 4th in the Summer of 1997
	8:55pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Side A" by "Roger Dfouni روجيه دفوني" this is wonderful
	8:57pm Dean: That would have been amazing, Gary. For some reason, the obit brings to mind Christian Boltanski. Do you know his work? Not poetry, as far as I know.
	8:58pm Dean: Not poetry, but very much exercises of memory.
	8:59pm Listener Gregory: @mackeral, that system would be perfect for me.
	8:59pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:57 Oh, nice -- no, I didn't know about him
	9:01pm Dean: Well, then, here's his NYT obit: https://shorturl.at/aisIK
	9:01pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Samia" by "Malayeen" This is unusual and interesting!
	9:04pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @9:01 I think each track is named after a different dancer and that Samia = Samia Galal, but I'm not 100% sure of that
	9:05pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:01 thank you
	9:05pm Dean: Let's test your hypothesis, Gary. Is one of the tracks titled Fred? Rudolf?
	9:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @8:57 interesting does she remind you of boltanski or a subject that boltanski would have picked
	9:10pm Dean: Her openness to multiple media, installation, and treatment of memory reminded me, I think. I first learned about Boltanski in the late '80s or thereabouts. I haven't spent much time since then thinking about him, but that experience alone struck me. A book, perhaps an exhibition catalog, that I checked out from UCLA's library when I was there, was fascinating. And then I remember learning that he had died.
	🇰🇷 9:11pm Bobby: ↳ Song: "Samia" by "Malayeen" !!
	9:11pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:05 Will you accept Fifi?
	9:11pm coelacanth∅: good evening Gary!
	9:11pm Gary: Ceolacanth!
	9:12pm Gary: ↳ Gary @9:11 Fifi = Fifi Abdou, I'm thinking
	9:12pm Dean: I can imagine taking those two obituaries and presenting them synoptically, noting their correlations. Gary, I have never rejected Fifi.
	9:13pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:12 No one in their right mind rejects Fifi
	9:13pm Mike W.: present, listening Hey Gary!
	9:13pm Gary: Mike W!
	9:13pm Dean: That narrows the population quite a bit.
	9:15pm Dean: First reading: "Sheherazade (Mouthwash)"
	9:15pm Dean: The Thousand and One Nights of Brushing and Flossing
	9:15pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:15 Farouz sings of the refreshing quality of minty SheherazadeTM
	9:15pm Jill B.: I am signing off. Nighty night.
	9:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:06 i think mayer's trancendentalist viewpoint and just the way she related to life would have been interesting to boltanski asx subject matter how memory relates to transcendentalism or the fleeting yes the expanded field for poetry, i don't really have a grasp on "memory" but i see the corelation to photography readid mayer's obit i thought i would like to have known her, don't quite feel that with boltanski
	9:16pm Gary: Night, Mom!
	9:16pm tom tom the pipers son: nice talking about dead people to this music, not in a morbid sense
	9:17pm Dean: Four out of five dentists recommend Fairuz, especially in 5/4.
	🇰🇷 9:19pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:47 I forgot how to tune the guitar. I'll tune by earr until a string breaks.
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:16 the music has a longing for what is perhaps unreachable
	9:22pm Listener Gregory: @chresti, I do that until all the strings have broken. Then we are all safe.
	9:24pm tom tom the pipers son: that was regal...
	🇰🇷 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh there's an App to Tune now. Comes with a little stash of dopamine tablets.
	9:26pm Dean: chresti, I'm the same way with pianos.
	🇰🇷 9:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:24 ...sublingual. Even self-tuning gittarz - tho haven't seen anything about those for a minute.
	9:29pm Listener Gregory: Jill is going to be sorry she left early!
	9:30pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:29 Haha
	🇰🇷 9:30pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:22 Ha!
	🇰🇷 9:32pm chresti: ↳ Dean @9:26 oh yeah- I'm a pounder!
	🇰🇷 9:35pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Qabl W Ba'l - قبل و بعل" by "Muqata'a" At a lower volume, I hear "polka dots"
	9:36pm Gary: ↳ chresti @9:35 At a certain level it's all polka dots
	9:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Qabl W Ba'l - قبل و بعل" by "Muqata'a" that was groovy
	🇰🇷 9:37pm chresti: ↳ Gary @9:36 Haha!
	9:37pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:36 muqataa.bandcamp.com
	9:37pm Dean: This shit's great. Reminds me of Wolfgang Mitterer's spectacular Radio Fractal.
	9:38pm Listener Gregory: Is Muqata’a sampling Tom Waits???
	9:38pm rw: I’ve only been catching bits and pieces but Bodega Pop Live seems out of control tonight!
	9:39pm Gary: RW!
	🇰🇷 9:39pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:32 not really- I miss having a piano around.
	9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @9:37 thanks, bookmarked for later
	9:39pm rw: I mean more out of control than usual. And is it Live or is it just Pop? I’m confused.
	🇰🇷 9:40pm chresti: rw!
	9:41pm Gary: ↳ rw @9:39 I dropped "live" a couple of years ago because the blog is essential dead so there was no need to distinguish the broadcast from the blog
	9:41pm Dean: Sold out vinyl, a regular occurrence. Pisses me off, because I've been "pro vinyl" for five or six decades. But I eventually came around to the convenience--a word I despise--of digital, i.e., CDs. I imagine Bandcamp bands could make more by offering CD as well. But as folks migrate to "pure" digital stream, I lose out. And so it goes.
	9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Al Watar Al Wiswas - الوتر الوسواس" by "Muqata'a" this is some of my favorite recently heard music
	9:43pm Dean: My rant @9:41 pertains to Muqata'a.
	9:51pm Gary: Tonight on Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse, "Is Fading in the Song of Horses" wfmu.org...
	9:51pm Dean: Anybody know Keith Jarrett's recording of Hartmann/Gurdjieff? I've always been wary of it...
	9:52pm Gary: ↳ Dean @9:51 I didn't know he did that!
	🇰🇷 9:52pm Mxter Baba: slipping gently into the stream, hello!
	9:52pm Gary: Mxter Baba!
	9:52pm Dean: Yeah: https://www.discogs.com/master/119160-G-I-Gurdjieff-Keith-Jarrett-Sacred-Hymns
	🇰🇷 9:53pm chresti: ↳ Song: ""The Struggle of the Magicians" (Excerpt No. 1)" ... Mxtr Babakins!
	9:53pm Ike: This is cool.
	9:55pm Gary: Ike!
	9:55pm Listener Gregory: I think I avoided that album as a matter of principle. But I have so many Jarrett records that I can’t remember which ones they are. His recording of the Shostakovich preludes and fugues was brilliant (to my uninformed mind), btw. I say this because if I wait for someone to ask me, it will never be said.
	9:56pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:55 I was a big Keith Jarrett fan in the 1980s and I've always wondered how I would respond to the music now
	🇰🇷 9:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	9:58pm mackeral: bunch of good fun, as usual. Thanks Gary and Bodega friends. nighty night!
	🇰🇷 9:58pm Bobby: Love the show tonight thank you!
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks gary
	🇰🇷 9:59pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	9:59pm rw: Thanks Gary! Hey chresti!
	9:59pm Listener Gregory: Very nice show, Gary. The energy did eventually reduce a bit. Good night to all the Bo-peeps!
	9:59pm tim abdellah: Gnite and thanks Gary!
	9:59pm mackeral: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:55 definitely, the Shostakovich
	🇰🇷 10:00pm Mxter Baba: thanks!
	10:00pm Gary: Night everyone!
