	3:34pm leshwatt: Good stuff, suits this foggy rain.
	3:38pm Roberto: Haha my daughter and I were in the other room just now and thought a bird had flown into the apartment.
	3:39pm leshwatt: 🦜 are loud
	🦇 3:43pm egould: Birds in my speaker. Hi birds. Birds outside my window. Hi birds. And hi to the squirrels too. Oh, and hi to the bunny rabbit I saw before dawn. Though it was dark, I could see your silhouette across the street. He has big floppy ears.
	3:44pm Roberto: ↳ leshwatt @3:39 Yes, hot bird mic.
	🦇 3:45pm Julie: hi Roberto!
	3:46pm leshwatt: Frogs are extremely loud too. Not proportionate to their size!
	3:48pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Mr.Tambora" by "New Fries" This is off the hook!!
	🦇 3:49pm Julie: ↳ leshwatt @3:46 oh yeah I've heard them at night outside when I'm outside the city
	3:51pm Michael 98145: love all the music you find for us
	🦇 3:51pm Julie: thank you Michael!
	3:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Last Day of the Sun" by "Everything By Electricity" Nice Retro sound, and VERY Retro album cover!
	🦇 3:53pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Last Day of the Sun" by "Everything By Electricity" Ooh, this is a lush delight. Did not expect 2021 for the date.
	3:55pm Hunterian: ↳ Song: "Beyond the Rising Sun" by "Marc Bolan" Now that was one shining segue
	3:56pm Curtis: Hey Julie! Great first hour
	🦇 3:56pm Julie: hi Hunterian!
	3:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Beyond the Rising Sun" by "Marc Bolan" Interesting, a minimalist, dervish style of Marc Bolan.
	3:57pm Hunterian: ↳ Julie @3:56 Hi Julie! 👋
	🦇 3:57pm Julie: hi Curtis! Thank you!
	3:57pm leshwatt: All this is quite good. Keep up the good work, Julie!
	🦇 3:57pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:56 yeah that's a collection of demos
	🦇 3:57pm Julie: thank you!
	🦇 3:58pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Some Place Else" by "Saint Etienne" I must be hungry because I think the strips on the album cover look like bacon
	🦇 3:58pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Some Place Else" by "Saint Etienne" ⭐❤🥰
	🦇 3:58pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Some Place Else" by "Saint Etienne" Those look like Truffula Trees from The Lorax on the St. Etienne cover!
	4:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @3:58 That's awfully psychedelic bacon! Better snack on something a bit less Day-Glo soon.
	🦇 4:01pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:00 considering everything is bacon flavored these days psychedelic bacon might be a popular product
	🦇 4:02pm egould: ↳ Song: "Young Ones Everywhere" by "Stephanie" Wow. Interesting find.
	4:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Young Ones Everywhere" by "Stephanie" Ha! Never knew that Princess Steph tried her hand at '80s pop!
	4:03pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @4:01 "Edible" bacon. And maybe psych or paisley colored, as well...
	🦇 4:03pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:03 I just meant the color of it but that would be fun too!
	🦇 4:06pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:02 she sang backup for michael jackson even
	🦇 4:14pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:02 It's pronounced "Muwwwaaah!" As in giving a great big kiss.
	4:14pm Matt from Springfield: If "MØAA" is Scandinavian, it's probably meant to be a type of 'O' vowel. An "empty set" symbol is usually narrower like a 0 with slash through, but with fonts it's harder to tell the difference.
	4:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:14 "Muwwwaaah!" - that's possibly what they meant!
	4:17pm Roberto: The kids are listening to dreck, I tells ya. DRECK!
	4:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Roberto @4:17 Who cares, so long as we have FMU! Great stuff, no matter the time or place or target demo! 😄
	4:18pm Roberto: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:18 DRECK
	🦇 4:19pm Julie: ↳ egould @4:14 OMG why didn't I think of that. it's so obvious
	4:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Flowers Will Never Die (piano demo)" by "Elto... Beautiful, pre-Starred ⭐💖
	🦇 4:20pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Flowers Will Never Die (piano demo)" by "Elto... Another beautiful Elton song I was totally unfamiliar with. Thanks, Julie! Listening intermittantly today.
	🦇 4:21pm Julie: hiya Dan!
	4:28pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Aurora" by "GLASSTREES" Love the album cover
	4:30pm TheDerek: ↳ Roberto @4:18 That's how people say my when they they are drunk
	4:32pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Where Has It Gone The Kitten?" by "Andromeda Comp... Did not expect the song to match that album cover. Rather provocative, excellent song!!
	4:33pm Hunterian: ↳ TheDerek @4:32 This song/album-cover is truly the full package
	🦇 4:38pm Dan S: The last few album covers have been almost as good as the music. :)
	4:38pm TheDerek: Julie, I think the Goosebump fairies have sneaked out of their cage onto the stream here
	4:39pm leshwatt: ↳ Song: "Sanje" by "Pinknruby" By the way which one’s pink?
	🦇 4:40pm Julie: I don't think I said hello Derek/Dreck Hi derek!
	🦇 4:40pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @4:38 is that a good thing?
	🦇 4:40pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Love Song" by "Dionne Warwick" Beautiful cover.
	4:41pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @4:40 Yeah, but I'm discovering goose bumps I didn't know existed. Going well with my Tea
	4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Love Song" by "Dionne Warwick" Intriguing Dionne catalogue track! An attempt at the singer-songwriter/folk rock sound of the early '70s.
	🦇 4:42pm Julie: afternoon tea, goosebumps and psychedelic bacon
	🦇 4:43pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:42 Dionne contains multitudes
	4:44pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @4:42 Psychedelic bacon? sounds very delicious can I get that at my local butcher?
	4:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Fotzepolitic" by "Cocteau Twins" And this CT title is..."different"! Why they chose this title, there's prob some backstory to it. But here's a cool resource they have for some of their more esoteric terms: cocteautwins.com...
	4:49pm leshwatt: Psychedelic Bacon was a thrash-folk band from Nowhere, Kentucky.
	4:49pm Matt from Springfield: "GOLD DUST (“In the Gold Dust Rush”): n. [Slang] Cocaine." Well, some things are obvious! 😉 Tons of great British slang I never knew of before: BLUEBEARD (“Bluebeard”): n. [Folklore] A fairy-tale character who marries and then murders one wife after another. CALFSKIN-SMACK (“Calfskin-Smack”): n. [English slang] 18th century slang term for “swearing on the Bible,” or “smack the calfskin,” as Bibles were/are often bound in soft leather, or calfskin. FIFTY-FIFTY CLOWN (“Fifty-fifty clown”): n. [English slang] A small-town police officer who works the noon-to-midnight shift.
	🦇 4:49pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "We Despise You" by "Wendy James" Well, they didn't sugarcoat that one.
	4:49pm Curtis: Digging the Wendy James
	4:51pm still b/p: ↳ TheDerek @4:44 You hafta attend an Electric Cured-Strip Acid Test happening.
	🦇 4:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "We Despise You" by "Wendy James" BTW, the album title is a line from a Bob Dylan song, in case anyone doesn't know that.
	4:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ leshwatt @4:49 They came out of the bands Country Ham Mile and Sawmill's Gravy, and later split into the bands Runny Grits and Over Hard.
	4:55pm Matt from Springfield: Randall's solo! 😄
	🦇 4:55pm Dan S: Birdie is going to town! Yes, nice whistling!
	🦇 4:58pm Julie: hi still bp!
	4:59pm Hunterian: ↳ Song: "Ambiance 1" by "Michel Philippot" This is 100% 🔥
	🦇 4:59pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Ambiance 1" by "Michel Philippot" Fantastic this! Do the birds respond to this?
	🦇 5:00pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @4:59 cannibal did NOT like the beginning where it sounds like glass. Beyond that I think they were kind of perplexed and quiet
	5:01pm hunterfelt: Just woke up and getting ready to work (night shifts do have that advantage). The archive will be waiting for me when I get back home around 11:30pm (night shifts have that disadvantage).
	5:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Noche En Espiral" by "Malcorazón" Dream pop en español! Que Los Gemelos Cocteau!
	🦇 5:02pm Julie: ↳ hunterfelt @5:01 where you working these days?
	🦇 5:02pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:00 Ha, ha.. I was sure it must have been confusing to them!
	🦇 5:03pm Julie: they don't like when I play a solid block of shoegaze.. probably just sounds like noise to them
	5:05pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @5:02 Still working this seasonal retail gig at Marshall's. We'll see if it sticks. They've kicked up my hours for December for obvious reasons so we'll see if it sticks.
	5:05pm still b/p: You've probably answered this before -- What do they reliably like to vocalize with?
	🦇 5:06pm Julie: they like whistling. anytime there's whistling in a song or on tv they respond to it
	🦇 5:07pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:03 No concept of shoes. Left to gaze pointlessly.
	🦇 5:11pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:06 Must sound so foreign to them. There once were some marine biologists trying to converse with dolphins. They were dead scared by their attempts and dashed of at high speed.
	🦇 5:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and dark skies.
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @5:11 the dolphins or the marine biologists?
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: hi Ken!
	🦇 5:14pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:12 The dolphins! Though they could told have the dolphins to eat them.. :)
	5:15pm leshwatt: ↳ Bas NL @5:11 If someone could decode “birdspeak” they could publish an avian criticism of WFMU radio. That would be interesting and comical.
	🦇 5:16pm Julie: ↳ leshwatt @5:15 I love the comics that show a person saying "oh listen to that pretty bird song" and the birds are saying vile things
	🦇 5:17pm Julie: what I wonder is how well different species understand each other. I have 3 different kinds of small parrots. Cannibal and Randall imitate each other but I don't know if they understand each other's non mimicking noises
	🦇 5:18pm Julie: and I imagine sparrow and pigeon noises are totally foreign to them
	5:19pm leshwatt: I must be like an English person listening to Russian person speak. Inflection maybe. Inflection not much else.
	🦇 5:22pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:18 Or the bewildered looks dogs throw when talked to by humans. And it often looks like they really try to make sense of it.
	5:24pm northguineahills: jules!
	🦇 5:24pm Julie: NGH!
	🦇 5:28pm egould: Walking down to the grocery store for dinner stuff. Will be listening along the way, but not leaving silly internet comments. Thanks for the excellent music today, Julie. Listen at ya' next week!
	5:34pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Confession" by "The Colourfield" Terry Hall--so he is! Of The Specials and Fun Boy Three, he was the co-writer of "Our Lips Are Sealed". en.wikipedia.org...
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:34 when I heard the fun boy three version I was just blown away. whole different vibe
	5:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Released/Unbound" by "The Judy Blooms" I remember this band, especially with their name! Live on this show over a decade ago! wfmu.org...
	5:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @5:35 Cheri Pi termed that song not a cover, but a "sharesie", since both co-writers released their own versions of it. The Fun Boy Three version "which Jane Wiedlin describes as "great" but also "gloomier" " - maybe because Terry was the one cheating in their relationship, it's heavier from his view.
	5:44pm leshwatt: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:40 Never heard that, crazy. I loved that FBT album prob cause I loved the Specials.
	5:44pm northguineahills: I had to explain allison shaw (the cranes) to my housemate...... jejeje
	🦇 5:45pm Julie: ↳ northguineahills @5:44 vrangvendt scratches that cranes itch nicely
	5:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Released/Unbound" by "The Judy Blooms" i just made a frecklejuice reference today!
	🦇 5:46pm Bas NL: Bush!
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Bas NL @5:46 the british 90s grunge band?
	🦇 5:48pm Julie: I could not name a single Bush song but I know they were big
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Ran Tan Waltz" by "Kate Bush" Kate Goes Cabaret! Along with "Babooshka" this single gets theatrical. Apparently just a B-side, not compiled until the Single File/This Woman's Work sets.
	🦇 5:49pm Bas NL: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 New to me!
	5:49pm avspuk: ↳ Song: "It's Nice To Be Out In The Morning" by "Herman's ... This is such a weird song Its like it can't decide how "contrived" it's wants to be or something
	🦇 5:49pm Julie: hi avspuk!
	5:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Julie @5:48 I don't know the name of songs!
	5:50pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @5:48 "Glycerine" is the only one I can name. Nice live performance from MTV Spring Break, where they play it live in a light rain.
	🦇 5:50pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:49 I believe it is the box set and the single file box. also on the "other sides" disc from the more recent reissues
	🦇 5:50pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:50 ah okay I do know that. Didn't know it was them. Ha.
	5:51pm avspuk: ↳ Song: "Home" by "Pastel Coast" As if New Order were on one of the twee-er labels rather than Factory
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Bas NL @5:49 here's ya go (it came out my senior year of hs) www.youtube.com...
	5:52pm avspuk: ↳ Julie @5:49 👋
	🦇 5:52pm Bas NL: I was just browsing Bandcamp for any Kate Bush releases. This one had me confused for a while: katesbushband.bandcamp.com
	🦇 5:54pm Bas NL: ↳ northguineahills @5:52 Noted!
	5:54pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Hah there's words to this!!? Hi Julie!
	5:54pm leshwatt: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Cool stuff thanks Julie
	🦇 5:54pm Julie: ↳ Alex X X X from Media @5:54 hi Alex! I had the same reaction!!
	🦇 5:54pm Dan S: I'm back after a break. BTW, I just got my Hellraiser swag in the mail, and that includes your "Live, She Cried" 2024 DJ premium, Julie. Now I just have to find the time to listen to it. :)
	🦇 5:55pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Aaaah, always a whistle-along tune, this!
	🦇 5:55pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @5:54 yay!
	5:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Alex X X X from Media @5:54 It's interesting how many lyrics have been added to instrumental songs after the fact! :)
	5:56pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:55 Interesting might not be the word I use. Kind of like painting a face on a lanscape painting.
	5:58pm Asheville Jon: BIRDS!
	6:01pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Puppets" by "Depeche Mode" EARLY, HARSH Depeche sounds! That minimal synth sound at the start of the '80s.
	🦇 6:02pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Looks like the instrumental is from 1966, the version with lyrics 1967 (andy williams)
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: it doesn't always work but I like the lyrics there
	6:03pm spodiodi: hi Julie and all!
	🦇 6:04pm Julie: hi spodi!
	6:04pm Rich in Washington: TMBG!
	6:04pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "(Put Your Hand Inside The) Puppet Head" by "They ... tomb ftw
	6:04pm spodiodi: tmbg that is :)
	6:05pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ Julie @6:02 Thanks!
	6:05pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "(Put Your Hand Inside The) Puppet Head" by "They ... wow, haven't heard this in maybe 20 years or more!
	🦇 6:06pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "(Put Your Hand Inside The) Puppet Head" by "They ... They Might Be Giants are usually good for a laugh. Like this song.
	6:07pm still b/p: Diet-Pepsi used Music to Watch Girls By in some TV ads with, of course, goofy gawk-at-her moments.
	6:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:04 d'oh!, missed it!
	6:09pm Ted: I love this song!
	🦇 6:10pm Julie: hiya Ted!
	6:10pm Asheville Jon: in keeping with this puppet theme, we gonna hear Metallica?
	🦇 6:11pm Dan S: ↳ still b/p @6:07 I think such an ad would be frowned upon today, but WTF do I know?
	🦇 6:12pm Bas NL: Or Sandie Shaw?
	6:13pm Ted: Hey Julie! This preceeding song is just as good!
	6:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Bas NL @6:12 NOT THAT one!! 😉 Very Eurovision-winner quality about it! 😆
	6:15pm Alex In Downers Grove: I think Devo has a song called Puppet Boy
	6:15pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ still b/p @6:07 I did like the Coke ad with Starry eyed surprise. Good youthful feel.
	🦇 6:15pm Bas NL: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:14 Don't know how that popped into my brain..
	🦇 6:15pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Puppet Girl" by "Wendy James" Wendy James again, and another good song!
	🦇 6:18pm Dan S: I see the album cover pictures have disappeared from the playlist. Too racy for radio? :-)
	🦇 6:18pm Julie: uh oh
	6:18pm spodiodi: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @6:15 they do. you beat me to suggesting it... was searching the playlist tp make sure it hadn't been played yet
	🦇 6:18pm Julie: Should i have censored the andromeda album?
	6:19pm Asheville Jon: i can still see the album covers
	🦇 6:19pm Julie: I see them too
	🦇 6:20pm Bas NL: Looks fine.
	🦇 6:21pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Julie @6:18 i don't think so, fwiw. :)
	🦇 6:21pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:19 OK, so it's just me. I've tried refreshing the page, to no effect. Maybe I'll close the tab and reopen it.
	6:21pm still b/p: No. No one is harmed and the world will still turn though we have seen the image.
	🦇 6:21pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:21 trying scrolling to the right it's wider spaced than usual because of the bandcamp link
	6:22pm spodiodi: well, i for one just called the popo
	6:24pm Ted: I am slade by this program... I am so glad 1 of my best friends turned me onto WFMU... now I listen to it all the TIME!.. A'int NO LIe!.. it's my new addiction!
	🦇 6:24pm Julie: ↳ Ted @6:24 that's great! whole world of new and unknown music
	6:25pm Ted: Amen to that!
	6:25pm still b/p: ↳ spodiodi @6:22 John Waters speaking about his films being targeted for censorship: "I didn't call the police when Forrest Gump started running."
	🦇 6:26pm chris in the redwoods: welcome to the cult, Ted! hehe. :)
	6:27pm spodiodi: ↳ still b/p @6:25 haha. bless him (not sure i get it though) :)
	6:28pm Danne D: Yay Julie Dark!!!
	6:29pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:28 Hiya Danne!!! 🙂
	6:29pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ Song: "Puppets" by "Lubos Fiser" If you dig this bed music there's a stream Mechanical Music Radio. 24/7 Player pianos, mechanical organs what have you. You wanna talk about cults....
	🦇 6:31pm Julie: ↳ Alex X X X from Media @6:29 oh neat i'll check it out
	6:32pm spodiodi: Greetings, Danne D! ltns
	6:32pm Ted: Thanks, Chris! This program is a ThRiLLll!
	6:35pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "The Puppeteer" by "Leningrad Sandwich" ⭐️
	6:35pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "(And) The Burned Puppet" by "Magic De Spell" well, that shouting at the end was surely unexpected!
	🦇 6:36pm Julie: ↳ Song: "The Puppeteer" by "Leningrad Sandwich" electronic drums?
	🦇 6:38pm Bas NL: Loads of companies started making electronic drums around that time.
	🦇 6:39pm Julie: I really like their sound
	🦇 6:42pm Bas NL: Kraftwerk really pushed the electronic drums in the limelight. They built their drums themself, guided by an electronics magazine.
	6:44pm Rich in Washington: Devo's original drummer - Jim Mothersbaugh - also fashioned an electronic kit using contact mics and some practice pads. I am pretty certain Kraftwerk was on their radar.
	🦇 6:44pm Julie: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:44 ya think? :)
	🦇 6:46pm JReganK: Hey, Julie! Sorry, I'm so late.
	🦇 6:46pm Julie: hiya JRegank!
	🦇 6:46pm Bas NL: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:44 It was an exciting time! i also built percussion kits, but they sounded rather bleep-bloop. Like the TV tennis game.
	🦇 6:48pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:21 I got a phone call that kept me away for a bit. I just tried what you suggested, and it worked. Thanks!
	6:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Bas NL @6:46 I remember getting the PIAI catalog when I was a kid - just lots of weird musical kits and effects that you could buy and build. They also had a kit for making a rudimentary electronic drum kit.
	6:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:50 I meant PAIA and they still exist and you can still buy their kits
	🦇 6:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Julie.
	6:52pm spodiodi: there we go
	6:52pm Rich in Washington: Ha ha! Speak of Devo!
	6:52pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Puppet Boy" by "Devo" ⭐️
	6:54pm Alex X X X from Media: Thanks Julie!
	6:54pm spodiodi: thank you, Julie!!
	6:54pm GT: I'm scared
	6:55pm Matt from Springfield: Great show! THANKS Julie! Have a great night, everyone! Be original, don't puppet! 😉

	6:56pm Asheville Jon: thanks Julie. i guess Metallica will have to be in the next puppet set
	🦇 6:56pm Dan S: Thanks for another great show, Julie! Perhaps I'll catch some of your fill-in next Monday evening. If not, then next Tuesday afternoon, same time, same station.
	🦇 6:56pm JReganK: Thnx, Julie!
	🦇 6:57pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Puppet On A String" by "Sandie Shaw" This IS a great song!
	🦇 6:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Julie!
	6:58pm Asheville Jon: bye birds!
	6:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Bas NL @6:57 Honestly, it is a good song, from a good singer. But the zany arrangements are all I ever notice!

	🦇 3:43pm egould: Birds in my speaker. Hi birds. Birds outside my window. Hi birds. And hi to the squirrels too. Oh, and hi to the bunny rabbit I saw before dawn. Though it was dark, I could see your silhouette across the street. He has big floppy ears.
	3:44pm Roberto: ↳ leshwatt @3:39 Yes, hot bird mic.
	🦇 3:45pm Julie: hi Roberto!
	3:46pm leshwatt: Frogs are extremely loud too. Not proportionate to their size!
	3:48pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Mr.Tambora" by "New Fries" This is off the hook!!
	🦇 3:49pm Julie: ↳ leshwatt @3:46 oh yeah I've heard them at night outside when I'm outside the city
	3:51pm Michael 98145: love all the music you find for us
	🦇 3:51pm Julie: thank you Michael!
	3:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Last Day of the Sun" by "Everything By Electricity" Nice Retro sound, and VERY Retro album cover!
	🦇 3:53pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Last Day of the Sun" by "Everything By Electricity" Ooh, this is a lush delight. Did not expect 2021 for the date.
	3:55pm Hunterian: ↳ Song: "Beyond the Rising Sun" by "Marc Bolan" Now that was one shining segue
	3:56pm Curtis: Hey Julie! Great first hour
	🦇 3:56pm Julie: hi Hunterian!
	3:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Beyond the Rising Sun" by "Marc Bolan" Interesting, a minimalist, dervish style of Marc Bolan.
	3:57pm Hunterian: ↳ Julie @3:56 Hi Julie! 👋
	🦇 3:57pm Julie: hi Curtis! Thank you!
	3:57pm leshwatt: All this is quite good. Keep up the good work, Julie!
	🦇 3:57pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @3:56 yeah that's a collection of demos
	🦇 3:57pm Julie: thank you!
	🦇 3:58pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Some Place Else" by "Saint Etienne" I must be hungry because I think the strips on the album cover look like bacon
	🦇 3:58pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Some Place Else" by "Saint Etienne" ⭐❤🥰
	🦇 3:58pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Some Place Else" by "Saint Etienne" Those look like Truffula Trees from The Lorax on the St. Etienne cover!
	4:00pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @3:58 That's awfully psychedelic bacon! Better snack on something a bit less Day-Glo soon.
	🦇 4:01pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:00 considering everything is bacon flavored these days psychedelic bacon might be a popular product
	🦇 4:02pm egould: ↳ Song: "Young Ones Everywhere" by "Stephanie" Wow. Interesting find.
	4:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Young Ones Everywhere" by "Stephanie" Ha! Never knew that Princess Steph tried her hand at '80s pop!
	4:03pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @4:01 "Edible" bacon. And maybe psych or paisley colored, as well...
	🦇 4:03pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:03 I just meant the color of it but that would be fun too!
	🦇 4:06pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:02 she sang backup for michael jackson even
	🦇 4:14pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:02 It's pronounced "Muwwwaaah!" As in giving a great big kiss.
	4:14pm Matt from Springfield: If "MØAA" is Scandinavian, it's probably meant to be a type of 'O' vowel. An "empty set" symbol is usually narrower like a 0 with slash through, but with fonts it's harder to tell the difference.
	4:15pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:14 "Muwwwaaah!" - that's possibly what they meant!
	4:17pm Roberto: The kids are listening to dreck, I tells ya. DRECK!
	4:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Roberto @4:17 Who cares, so long as we have FMU! Great stuff, no matter the time or place or target demo! 😄
	4:18pm Roberto: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:18 DRECK
	🦇 4:19pm Julie: ↳ egould @4:14 OMG why didn't I think of that. it's so obvious
	4:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The Flowers Will Never Die (piano demo)" by "Elto... Beautiful, pre-Starred ⭐💖
	🦇 4:20pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Flowers Will Never Die (piano demo)" by "Elto... Another beautiful Elton song I was totally unfamiliar with. Thanks, Julie! Listening intermittantly today.
	🦇 4:21pm Julie: hiya Dan!
	4:28pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Aurora" by "GLASSTREES" Love the album cover
	4:30pm TheDerek: ↳ Roberto @4:18 That's how people say my when they they are drunk
	4:32pm TheDerek: ↳ Song: "Where Has It Gone The Kitten?" by "Andromeda Comp... Did not expect the song to match that album cover. Rather provocative, excellent song!!
	4:33pm Hunterian: ↳ TheDerek @4:32 This song/album-cover is truly the full package
	🦇 4:38pm Dan S: The last few album covers have been almost as good as the music. :)
	4:38pm TheDerek: Julie, I think the Goosebump fairies have sneaked out of their cage onto the stream here
	4:39pm leshwatt: ↳ Song: "Sanje" by "Pinknruby" By the way which one’s pink?
	🦇 4:40pm Julie: I don't think I said hello Derek/Dreck Hi derek!
	🦇 4:40pm Julie: ↳ TheDerek @4:38 is that a good thing?
	🦇 4:40pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Love Song" by "Dionne Warwick" Beautiful cover.
	4:41pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @4:40 Yeah, but I'm discovering goose bumps I didn't know existed. Going well with my Tea
	4:42pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Love Song" by "Dionne Warwick" Intriguing Dionne catalogue track! An attempt at the singer-songwriter/folk rock sound of the early '70s.
	🦇 4:42pm Julie: afternoon tea, goosebumps and psychedelic bacon
	🦇 4:43pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:42 Dionne contains multitudes
	4:44pm TheDerek: ↳ Julie @4:42 Psychedelic bacon? sounds very delicious can I get that at my local butcher?
	4:45pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Fotzepolitic" by "Cocteau Twins" And this CT title is..."different"! Why they chose this title, there's prob some backstory to it. But here's a cool resource they have for some of their more esoteric terms: cocteautwins.com...
	4:49pm leshwatt: Psychedelic Bacon was a thrash-folk band from Nowhere, Kentucky.
	4:49pm Matt from Springfield: "GOLD DUST (“In the Gold Dust Rush”): n. [Slang] Cocaine." Well, some things are obvious! 😉 Tons of great British slang I never knew of before: BLUEBEARD (“Bluebeard”): n. [Folklore] A fairy-tale character who marries and then murders one wife after another. CALFSKIN-SMACK (“Calfskin-Smack”): n. [English slang] 18th century slang term for “swearing on the Bible,” or “smack the calfskin,” as Bibles were/are often bound in soft leather, or calfskin. FIFTY-FIFTY CLOWN (“Fifty-fifty clown”): n. [English slang] A small-town police officer who works the noon-to-midnight shift.
	🦇 4:49pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "We Despise You" by "Wendy James" Well, they didn't sugarcoat that one.
	4:49pm Curtis: Digging the Wendy James
	4:51pm still b/p: ↳ TheDerek @4:44 You hafta attend an Electric Cured-Strip Acid Test happening.
	🦇 4:51pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "We Despise You" by "Wendy James" BTW, the album title is a line from a Bob Dylan song, in case anyone doesn't know that.
	4:54pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ leshwatt @4:49 They came out of the bands Country Ham Mile and Sawmill's Gravy, and later split into the bands Runny Grits and Over Hard.
	4:55pm Matt from Springfield: Randall's solo! 😄
	🦇 4:55pm Dan S: Birdie is going to town! Yes, nice whistling!
	🦇 4:58pm Julie: hi still bp!
	4:59pm Hunterian: ↳ Song: "Ambiance 1" by "Michel Philippot" This is 100% 🔥
	🦇 4:59pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Ambiance 1" by "Michel Philippot" Fantastic this! Do the birds respond to this?
	🦇 5:00pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @4:59 cannibal did NOT like the beginning where it sounds like glass. Beyond that I think they were kind of perplexed and quiet
	5:01pm hunterfelt: Just woke up and getting ready to work (night shifts do have that advantage). The archive will be waiting for me when I get back home around 11:30pm (night shifts have that disadvantage).
	5:02pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Noche En Espiral" by "Malcorazón" Dream pop en español! Que Los Gemelos Cocteau!
	🦇 5:02pm Julie: ↳ hunterfelt @5:01 where you working these days?
	🦇 5:02pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:00 Ha, ha.. I was sure it must have been confusing to them!
	🦇 5:03pm Julie: they don't like when I play a solid block of shoegaze.. probably just sounds like noise to them
	5:05pm hunterfelt: ↳ Julie @5:02 Still working this seasonal retail gig at Marshall's. We'll see if it sticks. They've kicked up my hours for December for obvious reasons so we'll see if it sticks.
	5:05pm still b/p: You've probably answered this before -- What do they reliably like to vocalize with?
	🦇 5:06pm Julie: they like whistling. anytime there's whistling in a song or on tv they respond to it
	🦇 5:07pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:03 No concept of shoes. Left to gaze pointlessly.
	🦇 5:11pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:06 Must sound so foreign to them. There once were some marine biologists trying to converse with dolphins. They were dead scared by their attempts and dashed of at high speed.
	🦇 5:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and dark skies.
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: ↳ Bas NL @5:11 the dolphins or the marine biologists?
	🦇 5:12pm Julie: hi Ken!
	🦇 5:14pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:12 The dolphins! Though they could told have the dolphins to eat them.. :)
	5:15pm leshwatt: ↳ Bas NL @5:11 If someone could decode “birdspeak” they could publish an avian criticism of WFMU radio. That would be interesting and comical.
	🦇 5:16pm Julie: ↳ leshwatt @5:15 I love the comics that show a person saying "oh listen to that pretty bird song" and the birds are saying vile things
	🦇 5:17pm Julie: what I wonder is how well different species understand each other. I have 3 different kinds of small parrots. Cannibal and Randall imitate each other but I don't know if they understand each other's non mimicking noises
	🦇 5:18pm Julie: and I imagine sparrow and pigeon noises are totally foreign to them
	5:19pm leshwatt: I must be like an English person listening to Russian person speak. Inflection maybe. Inflection not much else.
	🦇 5:22pm Bas NL: ↳ Julie @5:18 Or the bewildered looks dogs throw when talked to by humans. And it often looks like they really try to make sense of it.
	5:24pm northguineahills: jules!
	🦇 5:24pm Julie: NGH!
	🦇 5:28pm egould: Walking down to the grocery store for dinner stuff. Will be listening along the way, but not leaving silly internet comments. Thanks for the excellent music today, Julie. Listen at ya' next week!
	5:34pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Confession" by "The Colourfield" Terry Hall--so he is! Of The Specials and Fun Boy Three, he was the co-writer of "Our Lips Are Sealed". en.wikipedia.org...
	🦇 5:35pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:34 when I heard the fun boy three version I was just blown away. whole different vibe
	5:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Released/Unbound" by "The Judy Blooms" I remember this band, especially with their name! Live on this show over a decade ago! wfmu.org...
	5:40pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @5:35 Cheri Pi termed that song not a cover, but a "sharesie", since both co-writers released their own versions of it. The Fun Boy Three version "which Jane Wiedlin describes as "great" but also "gloomier" " - maybe because Terry was the one cheating in their relationship, it's heavier from his view.
	5:44pm leshwatt: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:40 Never heard that, crazy. I loved that FBT album prob cause I loved the Specials.
	5:44pm northguineahills: I had to explain allison shaw (the cranes) to my housemate...... jejeje
	🦇 5:45pm Julie: ↳ northguineahills @5:44 vrangvendt scratches that cranes itch nicely
	5:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Released/Unbound" by "The Judy Blooms" i just made a frecklejuice reference today!
	🦇 5:46pm Bas NL: Bush!
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Bas NL @5:46 the british 90s grunge band?
	🦇 5:48pm Julie: I could not name a single Bush song but I know they were big
	5:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Ran Tan Waltz" by "Kate Bush" Kate Goes Cabaret! Along with "Babooshka" this single gets theatrical. Apparently just a B-side, not compiled until the Single File/This Woman's Work sets.
	🦇 5:49pm Bas NL: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 New to me!
	5:49pm avspuk: ↳ Song: "It's Nice To Be Out In The Morning" by "Herman's ... This is such a weird song Its like it can't decide how "contrived" it's wants to be or something
	🦇 5:49pm Julie: hi avspuk!
	5:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Julie @5:48 I don't know the name of songs!
	5:50pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @5:48 "Glycerine" is the only one I can name. Nice live performance from MTV Spring Break, where they play it live in a light rain.
	🦇 5:50pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:49 I believe it is the box set and the single file box. also on the "other sides" disc from the more recent reissues
	🦇 5:50pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:50 ah okay I do know that. Didn't know it was them. Ha.
	5:51pm avspuk: ↳ Song: "Home" by "Pastel Coast" As if New Order were on one of the twee-er labels rather than Factory
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Bas NL @5:49 here's ya go (it came out my senior year of hs) www.youtube.com...
	5:52pm avspuk: ↳ Julie @5:49 👋
	🦇 5:52pm Bas NL: I was just browsing Bandcamp for any Kate Bush releases. This one had me confused for a while: katesbushband.bandcamp.com
	🦇 5:54pm Bas NL: ↳ northguineahills @5:52 Noted!
	5:54pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Hah there's words to this!!? Hi Julie!
	5:54pm leshwatt: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Cool stuff thanks Julie
	🦇 5:54pm Julie: ↳ Alex X X X from Media @5:54 hi Alex! I had the same reaction!!
	🦇 5:54pm Dan S: I'm back after a break. BTW, I just got my Hellraiser swag in the mail, and that includes your "Live, She Cried" 2024 DJ premium, Julie. Now I just have to find the time to listen to it. :)
	🦇 5:55pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Aaaah, always a whistle-along tune, this!
	🦇 5:55pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @5:54 yay!
	5:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Alex X X X from Media @5:54 It's interesting how many lyrics have been added to instrumental songs after the fact! :)
	5:56pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:55 Interesting might not be the word I use. Kind of like painting a face on a lanscape painting.
	5:58pm Asheville Jon: BIRDS!
	6:01pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Puppets" by "Depeche Mode" EARLY, HARSH Depeche sounds! That minimal synth sound at the start of the '80s.
	🦇 6:02pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Music to Watch Girls By" by "Terry Hall" Looks like the instrumental is from 1966, the version with lyrics 1967 (andy williams)
	🦇 6:03pm Julie: it doesn't always work but I like the lyrics there
	6:03pm spodiodi: hi Julie and all!

	6:05pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "(Put Your Hand Inside The) Puppet Head" by "They ... wow, haven't heard this in maybe 20 years or more!
	🦇 6:06pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "(Put Your Hand Inside The) Puppet Head" by "They ... They Might Be Giants are usually good for a laugh. Like this song.
	6:07pm still b/p: Diet-Pepsi used Music to Watch Girls By in some TV ads with, of course, goofy gawk-at-her moments.
	6:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:04 d'oh!, missed it!
	6:09pm Ted: I love this song!
	🦇 6:10pm Julie: hiya Ted!
	6:10pm Asheville Jon: in keeping with this puppet theme, we gonna hear Metallica?
	🦇 6:11pm Dan S: ↳ still b/p @6:07 I think such an ad would be frowned upon today, but WTF do I know?
	🦇 6:12pm Bas NL: Or Sandie Shaw?
	6:13pm Ted: Hey Julie! This preceeding song is just as good!
	6:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Bas NL @6:12 NOT THAT one!! 😉 Very Eurovision-winner quality about it! 😆
	6:15pm Alex In Downers Grove: I think Devo has a song called Puppet Boy
	6:15pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ still b/p @6:07 I did like the Coke ad with Starry eyed surprise. Good youthful feel.
	🦇 6:15pm Bas NL: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:14 Don't know how that popped into my brain..
	🦇 6:15pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Puppet Girl" by "Wendy James" Wendy James again, and another good song!
	🦇 6:18pm Dan S: I see the album cover pictures have disappeared from the playlist. Too racy for radio? :-)
	🦇 6:18pm Julie: uh oh
	6:18pm spodiodi: ↳ Alex In Downers Grove @6:15 they do. you beat me to suggesting it... was searching the playlist tp make sure it hadn't been played yet
	🦇 6:18pm Julie: Should i have censored the andromeda album?
	6:19pm Asheville Jon: i can still see the album covers
	🦇 6:19pm Julie: I see them too
	🦇 6:20pm Bas NL: Looks fine.
	🦇 6:21pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Julie @6:18 i don't think so, fwiw. :)
	🦇 6:21pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:19 OK, so it's just me. I've tried refreshing the page, to no effect. Maybe I'll close the tab and reopen it.
	6:21pm still b/p: No. No one is harmed and the world will still turn though we have seen the image.
	🦇 6:21pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @6:21 trying scrolling to the right it's wider spaced than usual because of the bandcamp link
	6:22pm spodiodi: well, i for one just called the popo
	6:24pm Ted: I am slade by this program... I am so glad 1 of my best friends turned me onto WFMU... now I listen to it all the TIME!.. A'int NO LIe!.. it's my new addiction!
	🦇 6:24pm Julie: ↳ Ted @6:24 that's great! whole world of new and unknown music
	6:25pm Ted: Amen to that!
	6:25pm still b/p: ↳ spodiodi @6:22 John Waters speaking about his films being targeted for censorship: "I didn't call the police when Forrest Gump started running."
	🦇 6:26pm chris in the redwoods: welcome to the cult, Ted! hehe. :)
	6:27pm spodiodi: ↳ still b/p @6:25 haha. bless him (not sure i get it though) :)
	6:28pm Danne D: Yay Julie Dark!!!
	6:29pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Danne D @6:28 Hiya Danne!!! 🙂
	6:29pm Alex X X X from Media: ↳ Song: "Puppets" by "Lubos Fiser" If you dig this bed music there's a stream Mechanical Music Radio. 24/7 Player pianos, mechanical organs what have you. You wanna talk about cults....
	🦇 6:31pm Julie: ↳ Alex X X X from Media @6:29 oh neat i'll check it out
	6:32pm spodiodi: Greetings, Danne D! ltns
	6:32pm Ted: Thanks, Chris! This program is a ThRiLLll!
	6:35pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "The Puppeteer" by "Leningrad Sandwich" ⭐️
	6:35pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "(And) The Burned Puppet" by "Magic De Spell" well, that shouting at the end was surely unexpected!
	🦇 6:36pm Julie: ↳ Song: "The Puppeteer" by "Leningrad Sandwich" electronic drums?
	🦇 6:38pm Bas NL: Loads of companies started making electronic drums around that time.
	🦇 6:39pm Julie: I really like their sound
	🦇 6:42pm Bas NL: Kraftwerk really pushed the electronic drums in the limelight. They built their drums themself, guided by an electronics magazine.
	6:44pm Rich in Washington: Devo's original drummer - Jim Mothersbaugh - also fashioned an electronic kit using contact mics and some practice pads. I am pretty certain Kraftwerk was on their radar.
	🦇 6:44pm Julie: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:44 ya think? :)
	🦇 6:46pm JReganK: Hey, Julie! Sorry, I'm so late.
	🦇 6:46pm Julie: hiya JRegank!
	🦇 6:46pm Bas NL: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:44 It was an exciting time! i also built percussion kits, but they sounded rather bleep-bloop. Like the TV tennis game.
	🦇 6:48pm Dan S: ↳ Julie @6:21 I got a phone call that kept me away for a bit. I just tried what you suggested, and it worked. Thanks!
	6:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Bas NL @6:46 I remember getting the PIAI catalog when I was a kid - just lots of weird musical kits and effects that you could buy and build. They also had a kit for making a rudimentary electronic drum kit.
	6:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @6:50 I meant PAIA and they still exist and you can still buy their kits
	🦇 6:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Julie.
	6:52pm spodiodi: there we go
	6:52pm Rich in Washington: Ha ha! Speak of Devo!
	6:52pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Puppet Boy" by "Devo" ⭐️
	6:54pm Alex X X X from Media: Thanks Julie!
	6:54pm spodiodi: thank you, Julie!!

	🦇 6:57pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Puppet On A String" by "Sandie Shaw" This IS a great song!
	🦇 6:57pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Julie!
	6:58pm Asheville Jon: bye birds!
	6:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Bas NL @6:57 Honestly, it is a good song, from a good singer. But the zany arrangements are all I ever notice!
	🦇 6:59pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Julie! take care, all!
	6:59pm Roberto: BAI JOOLZ
	6:59pm still b/p: Sandie's "Puppet" sounds sooo similar to the chorus of "I Love Louisa!"
