	🥁 5:24pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Alex from Media @5:23 Alex! Happy to provide for you!
	🥁 5:24pm vanhooserd: ↳ Song: "My Friend Jack" by "The Smoke" I'm reporting this blatant drug song to the FCC!

	🥁 5:25pm vanhooserd: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:24 I never saw anything with the vaccine. I had to eat those little squares of paper to get that.
	🥁 5:26pm Discotech Underground: Cool, be sure to alert the media about where you heard it so I can get some free publicity from it. Thanks.
	🥁 5:26pm vanhooserd: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:26 That record should have been a big hit in the US!
	🥁 5:27pm Alex from Media: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:26 All you'll get are drum circles outside the mother ship.
	🥁 5:27pm Discotech Underground: ↳ vanhooserd @5:26 It wasn't even released here as a single here, just on the White Whale LP.
	5:29pm Fred R: Howdy Kip and everyone in Discoland!
	🥁 5:29pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Alex from Media @5:27 Have them write "Discotech Underground" on the drumskins, then.

	🥁 5:31pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Save My Soul" by "The Wimple Winch" Wild!
	🥁 5:31pm Alex from Media: Here's a question. During thedrug crackdowns I remember hearing about the artists being targeted by police but I dont remeber hearing about the record labels suffering. Did this happen?
	🥁 5:32pm Alex from Media: ↳ MOM WHIG @5:31 Hey there momma!
	🥁 5:34pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Alex from Media @5:31 I never heard that they did. The publicity probably helped them, maybe.
	5:34pm Dan: Listening to DU for the first time. Great show, love these tunes!
	🥁 5:34pm vanhooserd: ↳ Alex from Media @5:31 I doubt it, though some probably bowed to pressure temporarily.
	🥁 5:35pm Fatherflot: Small Faces = Big Stones
	🥁 5:35pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Dan @5:34 Welcome, Dan, and I appreciate you checking out the program! Hope you enjoy what you hear and come back again!
	🥁 5:35pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Dan @5:34 glad you made it
	🥁 5:35pm Beantown Doug: Darn, got pulled away again.
	🥁 5:36pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:35 Turn the ringer off...you'll be glad you did!
	🥁 5:36pm Beantown Doug: Medical stuff, but the doctor's office is closed now.
	🥁 5:38pm Fatherflot: ↳ Dan @5:34 What a treat for you. Welcome aboard
	🥁 5:42pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Song: "Doctor Please" by "Blue Cheer" Loud at any volume!
	🥁 5:42pm WLSClark: Hi FF, Doug....DAN!!!
	🥁 5:43pm Fatherflot: Blue Cheer still trashing speaker cones after all these years
	🥁 5:43pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:42 This is from an original MONO LP for extra loudness!
	🥁 5:43pm Fatherflot: ↳ WLSClark @5:42 Hey Clark
	🥁 5:44pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Fatherflot @5:43 And eardrums.
	🥁 5:44pm Fatherflot: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:44 What??????
	🥁 5:45pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Fatherflot @5:44 Exactly.
	🥁 5:45pm WLSClark: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:44 and Vincebus Eruptums
	5:46pm Chuck: Sounding righteous, Kip!!!...cheerz all!!...:)
	🥁 5:46pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @5:46 Hey Chuck!
	🥁 5:46pm Fatherflot: I don't wanna cause no fuss Too much the Vinebus
	🥁 5:46pm WLSClark: Hi Chuck, bye all. Gotta get on road. BIG T-Storms predicted tonight here.
	🥁 5:47pm Discotech Underground: ↳ WLSClark @5:46 Later, Clark!
	5:48pm Chuck: ↳ WLSClark @5:46 Ours are supposed to roll in at about 2:00 a.m....:\
	🥁 5:48pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:43 Left-right groove modulation only, for Maximum Loudness!
	🥁 5:49pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:48 Mono for more solidity, depth, body and bottom end.
	🥁 5:49pm Beantown Doug: Someone who was at Phil Spector's murder trial said Phil was handing out BACK TO MONO buttons in court!
	5:52pm don s: CLASSICS, LET'S GO! I received my Tangerine Zoo LP, THANK YOU WFMU!
	🥁 5:52pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:49 I think I have one somewhere. It didn't come from the trial, though. I don't remember where I got it.
	🥁 5:52pm Discotech Underground: ↳ don s @5:52 Awright!! Great to hear, Don!
	5:59pm bigplanetnoise: Howdy Kip - sounding great!
	🥁 6:01pm Discotech Underground: ↳ bigplanetnoise @5:59 Howdy and thanks, Grandbob!
	🥁 6:02pm Alex from Media: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:49 You and Beantown Doug have awakened the noob from his torpor... As a person not in audio, I always feel that mono sounds kind of dull. Does that bottom end you speak of sacrifice high times? @ Beantown Doug, How does left-right groove modulation gain loudness?
	🥁 6:04pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @6:02 that would be "high tones"! not entirely out of my torpor
	🥁 6:06pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Alex from Media @6:02 It depends on the individual recording and the record itself. If it's a dedicated mono mix, you sometimes hear things that are buried or less audible on the stereo version. Some stereo mixes thin the sound out too much and the bottom end gets lost. It's a matter of taste and preference, I guess.
	6:07pm Chuck: In mono getting the correct balance of volume from each instrument and vocals is the key to it???...:)
	🥁 6:09pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Alex from Media @6:02 Tracking is done vertically, in addition to horizontally for stereo. Old mono record players could track only left-right, and could damage stereo discs. Mono records could be tracked with heavier forces, making it possible for even cheap record players to be used. True mono discs could be cut LOUD and with more BASS without fear of mistracking. The most legendary example was the first Led Zeppelin LP. It was cut at the max that stereo cut be done, and complaints about tonearms flying off the grooves resulted in the album being remastered quieter, with less bass. Hence the search for "hot stamper" vinyl.
	6:10pm Chuck: Dig this Rory, btw...:)
	🥁 6:10pm Discotech Underground: Some 60's record producers tried to get too cute with the stereo mixes and they end up sounding watered down and less focused. The first Red Crayola album is like that. The stereo is a mess but the mono is solid as a rock and a much more enjoyable experience.
	🥁 6:12pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:09 Anti-skating is also less of a concern with true mono tracking, because both sides of the groove are the same. "Inner-groove distortion" is a stereo disc effect. Again, it's all about preventing mistracking.
	6:13pm Tom P in Brooklyn: Hi Kip! Glad to be able to catch some of the show today at least!
	🥁 6:14pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Tom P in Brooklyn @6:13 Glad you're here, Tom P in Brooklyn!
	6:14pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Kip
	🥁 6:14pm Discotech Underground: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:14 Coelacanth! Welcome, welcome!
	6:15pm Chuck: I like the Ambient sound of live tracks that are recorded with off the air feeds simultaneously... placement and volume of the live mics is a tricky thing to master...:)
	🥁 6:18pm Beantown Doug: People with Thorens turntables and Shure V15 phono cartridges had no trouble tracking the infamous, original first cut mastering of Led Zeppelin I.
	6:19pm Chuck: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:18 I used to have a Thoren's turntable back in the '70s boy those things are heavy!!!...:)
	6:20pm coelacanth∅: my look at yourself album does not have eyes on it
	🥁 6:21pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Chuck @6:19 My Thorens TD-166 MKII turned 40 this month!
	🥁 6:23pm Alex from Media: Wow, thanks everyone! Left-right seems easy to distinguish. How do you distinguish the vertical when listening? Is it just the "middle" stuff? That seems like something you could just modulate with left-right also.
	6:24pm Chuck: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:21 I forgot what model mine was but it was a belt drive and it finally just gave out...:)
	🥁 6:24pm Discotech Underground: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:20 The copy there is a European version. The US cover was slightly different.
	🥁 6:26pm Discotech Underground: I use the same Technics SL-D1 I bought in 1978 for $88. I have a vintage Shure SC35C cart mounted to it and it sounds amazing. The music you hear on this show comes to you courtesy of that turntable.
	6:28pm Chuck: Fluctuating power surges and such always mess me up with some of the turntables I've had... I have a Hitachi with a photo sensor on it which keeps my speed consistent and I don't have to worry about it no more...:)
	6:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:24 right on. figured something like that
	🥁 6:28pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:26 The SL-D1 is a classic table.
	6:29pm Flash Strap: Hey Kip! Hey everyone
	🥁 6:30pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Alex from Media @6:23 Vertical modulation is the stereo content.
	🥁 6:31pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Flash Strap @6:29 Flash!
	🥁 6:32pm Beantown Doug: The bottom line is that true mono records that were made after the RIAA equalization curve was defined, can be loud with great bass. The spacial effect of stereo is what people respond to as being better than mono. I for one do not care for mono Classical music.
	🥁 6:32pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:28 Yep, totally manual, direct drive motor...I have tried other ones but this has been the best one I've ever owned and it's still going along like the day I bought it.
	6:37pm Blissland: howdy
	6:37pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "New Land" by "Zior" Nice mix on this one!!!... kind of reminds me of Blood Rock with a flute???...:)
	🥁 6:37pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Blissland @6:37 Hey there!
	6:38pm Blissland: I'm glad we don't have to worry about any of that now with cd's
	🥁 6:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:30 Ok thanks. I'm gonna have to investigate further. I think I misunderstood some of the conversation. The interwebs is clarifying. I think.
	6:41pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "Look Into The Sun" by "Jethro Tull" Mmmm...luv it!!!...:)
	🥁 6:42pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @6:41 Since we are on the precipice of summer, it seemed appropriate.
	🥁 6:42pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Alex from Media @6:39 It's all been figured out to the limit of what needle-in-groove can do. Finding the right stuff that works well enough at a good price is the challenge.
	🥁 6:42pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:37 Heading out now - AWESOME Tunes today. See you for "Your dinner" in a bit then.
	🥁 6:42pm Discotech Underground: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:42 Yep, see you then for some dinner music, Mom! Thanks for hanging out with us.
	6:43pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Look Into The Sun" by "Jethro Tull" best Tull album.
	🥁 6:43pm Discotech Underground: Stick around once this program wraps up for The Explorer's Room with Flash Strap! wfmu.org...
	🥁 6:45pm Beantown Doug: Tull from 'This Was' to 'Thick as a Brick' is incredible. Not so much for me after that.
	🥁 6:45pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:45 That's about it for me and Tull, also. "Living In The Past" is my normal stopping point. Aqualung just got played too much.
	🥁 6:46pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:45 Yes, yes, and YES.
	6:47pm Chuck: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:45 Minstral in the Gallery and Songs from the Wood are nice...:)
	🥁 6:48pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @6:47 I do enjoy a number of selections from "Songs From The Wood". Velvet Green being one.
	6:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Look Into The Sun" by "Jethro Tull" Tell me someone played this on the recent eclipse day!
	🥁 6:49pm Alex from Media: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:42 At least I'm coming to some understanding of the engineering language you and Kip are using now. The missing piece is how the mechanics of vertical positioning decodes the horizontal information into left-right. I'll find it. You've both been helpful, thanks for taking the time to answer.
	6:49pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Reflection" by "Pentangle" nice
	6:50pm Chuck: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @6:48 That was on a Monday so I bet it was Bob...:)
	6:50pm Tom P in Brooklyn: ↳ Flash Strap @6:49 Very nice! Ethereal, dreamy....
	🥁 6:52pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Tom P in Brooklyn @6:50 I like to change the pace up a bit on the final set sometimes, usually with something more chill like this.
	6:52pm Chuck: Another fantastic show, Kip..thanks man!!!...Cheerz y'all...:)
	🥁 6:53pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @6:52 Thanks, Chuck!
	🥁 6:53pm Alex from Media: Thanks for the show Kip! Thanks again to Beantown Doug too. Learned some interesting stuff today.
	🥁 6:54pm Discotech Underground: THANKS FOR TUNING IN EVERYONE! ALWAYS GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE! I'M OFF NEXT WEEK BUT I'LL BE BACK THE WEEK AFTERWARDS! HAVE A GREAT ONE!
	🥁 6:55pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Alex from Media @6:49 Have fun with it!
	🥁 6:55pm Beantown Doug: Another boffo show, Kip! Thanks!
	6:56pm Chuck: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:54 Looking forward to your Global Grease fill ins as well...:)
	🥁 6:56pm Yvang: Thanks Kip!
	6:57pm Flash Strap: Thanks Kip!
	6:57pm Flash Strap: join me next door: wfmu.org...
	6:57pm Tom P in Brooklyn: Thanks Kip Have fun in Austin!
	🥁 6:58pm Yvang: Have an happy/lucky digging. We'll take advantage of it!
	6:58pm HyperDose: Thanks Kip!
	6:59pm Blissland: nitey nite
	🥁 7:00pm Discotech Underground: Have a great weekend, everyone! See you in two weeks!
	7:28pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kip!

Discotech Underground with Kip Brown: Playlist from April 25, 2024

View Discotech Underground's profile

Discotech Underground is actually two...two...two shows in one!

The first half is a "Happy Hour" of sorts (because it's five o'clock somewhere, right?), spinning the kinds of sounds you might have heard at a real, authentic 1960's DISCOTECH as cool cats and swingin' chicks danced the night away in their mod threads and mini skirts to hard-driving sounds under the flashing lights! The only thing missing are the cage dancers...but we're working on it!

The second half is for when you head home after a wild night, and ease in with the heady, trippy, mind-expanding sounds of a groovy free-form UNDERGROUND rock radio station that digs deep into their library and blows your mind all over again!

	🥁 5:25pm vanhooserd: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:24 I never saw anything with the vaccine. I had to eat those little squares of paper to get that.
	🥁 5:26pm Discotech Underground: Cool, be sure to alert the media about where you heard it so I can get some free publicity from it. Thanks.
	🥁 5:26pm vanhooserd: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:26 That record should have been a big hit in the US!
	🥁 5:27pm Alex from Media: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:26 All you'll get are drum circles outside the mother ship.
	🥁 5:27pm Discotech Underground: ↳ vanhooserd @5:26 It wasn't even released here as a single here, just on the White Whale LP.
	5:29pm Fred R: Howdy Kip and everyone in Discoland!
	🥁 5:29pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Alex from Media @5:27 Have them write "Discotech Underground" on the drumskins, then.

	🥁 5:31pm Alex from Media: Here's a question. During thedrug crackdowns I remember hearing about the artists being targeted by police but I dont remeber hearing about the record labels suffering. Did this happen?
	🥁 5:32pm Alex from Media: ↳ MOM WHIG @5:31 Hey there momma!
	🥁 5:34pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Alex from Media @5:31 I never heard that they did. The publicity probably helped them, maybe.
	5:34pm Dan: Listening to DU for the first time. Great show, love these tunes!
	🥁 5:34pm vanhooserd: ↳ Alex from Media @5:31 I doubt it, though some probably bowed to pressure temporarily.
	🥁 5:35pm Fatherflot: Small Faces = Big Stones
	🥁 5:35pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Dan @5:34 Welcome, Dan, and I appreciate you checking out the program! Hope you enjoy what you hear and come back again!
	🥁 5:35pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Dan @5:34 glad you made it
	🥁 5:35pm Beantown Doug: Darn, got pulled away again.
	🥁 5:36pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:35 Turn the ringer off...you'll be glad you did!
	🥁 5:36pm Beantown Doug: Medical stuff, but the doctor's office is closed now.
	🥁 5:38pm Fatherflot: ↳ Dan @5:34 What a treat for you. Welcome aboard
	🥁 5:42pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Song: "Doctor Please" by "Blue Cheer" Loud at any volume!
	🥁 5:42pm WLSClark: Hi FF, Doug....DAN!!!
	🥁 5:43pm Fatherflot: Blue Cheer still trashing speaker cones after all these years
	🥁 5:43pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:42 This is from an original MONO LP for extra loudness!
	🥁 5:43pm Fatherflot: ↳ WLSClark @5:42 Hey Clark
	🥁 5:44pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Fatherflot @5:43 And eardrums.
	🥁 5:44pm Fatherflot: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:44 What??????
	🥁 5:45pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Fatherflot @5:44 Exactly.
	🥁 5:45pm WLSClark: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:44 and Vincebus Eruptums
	5:46pm Chuck: Sounding righteous, Kip!!!...cheerz all!!...:)
	🥁 5:46pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @5:46 Hey Chuck!
	🥁 5:46pm Fatherflot: I don't wanna cause no fuss Too much the Vinebus
	🥁 5:46pm WLSClark: Hi Chuck, bye all. Gotta get on road. BIG T-Storms predicted tonight here.
	🥁 5:47pm Discotech Underground: ↳ WLSClark @5:46 Later, Clark!
	5:48pm Chuck: ↳ WLSClark @5:46 Ours are supposed to roll in at about 2:00 a.m....:\
	🥁 5:48pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:43 Left-right groove modulation only, for Maximum Loudness!
	🥁 5:49pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:48 Mono for more solidity, depth, body and bottom end.
	🥁 5:49pm Beantown Doug: Someone who was at Phil Spector's murder trial said Phil was handing out BACK TO MONO buttons in court!
	5:52pm don s: CLASSICS, LET'S GO! I received my Tangerine Zoo LP, THANK YOU WFMU!
	🥁 5:52pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @5:49 I think I have one somewhere. It didn't come from the trial, though. I don't remember where I got it.
	🥁 5:52pm Discotech Underground: ↳ don s @5:52 Awright!! Great to hear, Don!
	5:59pm bigplanetnoise: Howdy Kip - sounding great!
	🥁 6:01pm Discotech Underground: ↳ bigplanetnoise @5:59 Howdy and thanks, Grandbob!
	🥁 6:02pm Alex from Media: ↳ Discotech Underground @5:49 You and Beantown Doug have awakened the noob from his torpor... As a person not in audio, I always feel that mono sounds kind of dull. Does that bottom end you speak of sacrifice high times? @ Beantown Doug, How does left-right groove modulation gain loudness?
	🥁 6:04pm Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @6:02 that would be "high tones"! not entirely out of my torpor
	🥁 6:06pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Alex from Media @6:02 It depends on the individual recording and the record itself. If it's a dedicated mono mix, you sometimes hear things that are buried or less audible on the stereo version. Some stereo mixes thin the sound out too much and the bottom end gets lost. It's a matter of taste and preference, I guess.
	6:07pm Chuck: In mono getting the correct balance of volume from each instrument and vocals is the key to it???...:)
	🥁 6:09pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Alex from Media @6:02 Tracking is done vertically, in addition to horizontally for stereo. Old mono record players could track only left-right, and could damage stereo discs. Mono records could be tracked with heavier forces, making it possible for even cheap record players to be used. True mono discs could be cut LOUD and with more BASS without fear of mistracking. The most legendary example was the first Led Zeppelin LP. It was cut at the max that stereo cut be done, and complaints about tonearms flying off the grooves resulted in the album being remastered quieter, with less bass. Hence the search for "hot stamper" vinyl.
	6:10pm Chuck: Dig this Rory, btw...:)
	🥁 6:10pm Discotech Underground: Some 60's record producers tried to get too cute with the stereo mixes and they end up sounding watered down and less focused. The first Red Crayola album is like that. The stereo is a mess but the mono is solid as a rock and a much more enjoyable experience.
	🥁 6:12pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:09 Anti-skating is also less of a concern with true mono tracking, because both sides of the groove are the same. "Inner-groove distortion" is a stereo disc effect. Again, it's all about preventing mistracking.
	6:13pm Tom P in Brooklyn: Hi Kip! Glad to be able to catch some of the show today at least!
	🥁 6:14pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Tom P in Brooklyn @6:13 Glad you're here, Tom P in Brooklyn!
	6:14pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Kip
	🥁 6:14pm Discotech Underground: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:14 Coelacanth! Welcome, welcome!
	6:15pm Chuck: I like the Ambient sound of live tracks that are recorded with off the air feeds simultaneously... placement and volume of the live mics is a tricky thing to master...:)
	🥁 6:18pm Beantown Doug: People with Thorens turntables and Shure V15 phono cartridges had no trouble tracking the infamous, original first cut mastering of Led Zeppelin I.
	6:19pm Chuck: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:18 I used to have a Thoren's turntable back in the '70s boy those things are heavy!!!...:)
	6:20pm coelacanth∅: my look at yourself album does not have eyes on it
	🥁 6:21pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Chuck @6:19 My Thorens TD-166 MKII turned 40 this month!
	🥁 6:23pm Alex from Media: Wow, thanks everyone! Left-right seems easy to distinguish. How do you distinguish the vertical when listening? Is it just the "middle" stuff? That seems like something you could just modulate with left-right also.
	6:24pm Chuck: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:21 I forgot what model mine was but it was a belt drive and it finally just gave out...:)
	🥁 6:24pm Discotech Underground: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:20 The copy there is a European version. The US cover was slightly different.
	🥁 6:26pm Discotech Underground: I use the same Technics SL-D1 I bought in 1978 for $88. I have a vintage Shure SC35C cart mounted to it and it sounds amazing. The music you hear on this show comes to you courtesy of that turntable.
	6:28pm Chuck: Fluctuating power surges and such always mess me up with some of the turntables I've had... I have a Hitachi with a photo sensor on it which keeps my speed consistent and I don't have to worry about it no more...:)
	6:28pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:24 right on. figured something like that
	🥁 6:28pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:26 The SL-D1 is a classic table.
	6:29pm Flash Strap: Hey Kip! Hey everyone
	🥁 6:30pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Alex from Media @6:23 Vertical modulation is the stereo content.
	🥁 6:31pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Flash Strap @6:29 Flash!
	🥁 6:32pm Beantown Doug: The bottom line is that true mono records that were made after the RIAA equalization curve was defined, can be loud with great bass. The spacial effect of stereo is what people respond to as being better than mono. I for one do not care for mono Classical music.
	🥁 6:32pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:28 Yep, totally manual, direct drive motor...I have tried other ones but this has been the best one I've ever owned and it's still going along like the day I bought it.
	6:37pm Blissland: howdy
	6:37pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "New Land" by "Zior" Nice mix on this one!!!... kind of reminds me of Blood Rock with a flute???...:)
	🥁 6:37pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Blissland @6:37 Hey there!
	6:38pm Blissland: I'm glad we don't have to worry about any of that now with cd's
	🥁 6:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:30 Ok thanks. I'm gonna have to investigate further. I think I misunderstood some of the conversation. The interwebs is clarifying. I think.
	6:41pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "Look Into The Sun" by "Jethro Tull" Mmmm...luv it!!!...:)
	🥁 6:42pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @6:41 Since we are on the precipice of summer, it seemed appropriate.
	🥁 6:42pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Alex from Media @6:39 It's all been figured out to the limit of what needle-in-groove can do. Finding the right stuff that works well enough at a good price is the challenge.
	🥁 6:42pm MOM WHIG: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:37 Heading out now - AWESOME Tunes today. See you for "Your dinner" in a bit then.
	🥁 6:42pm Discotech Underground: ↳ MOM WHIG @6:42 Yep, see you then for some dinner music, Mom! Thanks for hanging out with us.
	6:43pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Look Into The Sun" by "Jethro Tull" best Tull album.
	🥁 6:43pm Discotech Underground: Stick around once this program wraps up for The Explorer's Room with Flash Strap! wfmu.org...
	🥁 6:45pm Beantown Doug: Tull from 'This Was' to 'Thick as a Brick' is incredible. Not so much for me after that.
	🥁 6:45pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:45 That's about it for me and Tull, also. "Living In The Past" is my normal stopping point. Aqualung just got played too much.
	🥁 6:46pm Beantown Doug: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:45 Yes, yes, and YES.
	6:47pm Chuck: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:45 Minstral in the Gallery and Songs from the Wood are nice...:)
	🥁 6:48pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @6:47 I do enjoy a number of selections from "Songs From The Wood". Velvet Green being one.
	6:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "Look Into The Sun" by "Jethro Tull" Tell me someone played this on the recent eclipse day!
	🥁 6:49pm Alex from Media: ↳ Beantown Doug @6:42 At least I'm coming to some understanding of the engineering language you and Kip are using now. The missing piece is how the mechanics of vertical positioning decodes the horizontal information into left-right. I'll find it. You've both been helpful, thanks for taking the time to answer.
	6:49pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Reflection" by "Pentangle" nice
	6:50pm Chuck: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @6:48 That was on a Monday so I bet it was Bob...:)
	6:50pm Tom P in Brooklyn: ↳ Flash Strap @6:49 Very nice! Ethereal, dreamy....
	🥁 6:52pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Tom P in Brooklyn @6:50 I like to change the pace up a bit on the final set sometimes, usually with something more chill like this.
	6:52pm Chuck: Another fantastic show, Kip..thanks man!!!...Cheerz y'all...:)
	🥁 6:53pm Discotech Underground: ↳ Chuck @6:52 Thanks, Chuck!
	🥁 6:53pm Alex from Media: Thanks for the show Kip! Thanks again to Beantown Doug too. Learned some interesting stuff today.
	🥁 6:54pm Discotech Underground: THANKS FOR TUNING IN EVERYONE! ALWAYS GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE! I'M OFF NEXT WEEK BUT I'LL BE BACK THE WEEK AFTERWARDS! HAVE A GREAT ONE!

	🥁 6:55pm Beantown Doug: Another boffo show, Kip! Thanks!
	6:56pm Chuck: ↳ Discotech Underground @6:54 Looking forward to your Global Grease fill ins as well...:)
	🥁 6:56pm Yvang: Thanks Kip!
	6:57pm Flash Strap: Thanks Kip!
	6:57pm Flash Strap: join me next door: wfmu.org...
