Listener comments!
	6:03pm Clay Pigeon: Hello in there.
	6:03pm Matt from Springfield: The Sequester Gazetter Episode! Hi Clay!
	6:04pm Carmichael: OK, I made it here for Clay. Thought you were sequestered for a minute.
	6:05pm BadGuyZero: Hello!
	6:05pm Clay Pigeon: Hey Matt, Carm. Badness.
	6:05pm Matt from Springfield: BGZ! Is this a Dusty Show first for you? :) Like the avatar!
	6:06pm Cecile: Hi and bye, Clay!
	6:06pm Sugarfly Waterloo: good evening
	6:06pm BadGuyZero: It's been a while since I dropped by the Dusty Show comments.
	6:07pm Clay Pigeon: Hi and bye. Cecile
	6:07pm Matt from Springfield: Yeah, the sequester's going to affect a lot of people around here; all the possible government furloughs, plus the "furloughs" and hours cut from local business as spending money drops.
	6:07pm Clay Pigeon: Sugarfly ... welcome.
	6:07pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): So, then, I got all the Sea Quest Nation fan club together for nothing tonight? This sucks. The Scheider mask alone cost me half a week's pay.
	6:07pm sFrances from VA: Hey all! Clay,thx for playing Trouble Funk! I'm going to sit back & enjoy the show!
	6:08pm Carmichael: Hey Cecile! Come around more often.
	6:09pm Cecile: I will Carm!
	6:09pm Clay Pigeon: Hi Frances! Pete.
	6:09pm Matt from Springfield: Hey Frances, Pete, Sugarfly, Cecile, Carm!
	6:12pm steve: hey Clay! bummed i keep missing your show because of work, glad to be listening live again. ive been out of the loop since Dirty Clown!
	6:13pm Matt from Springfield: A lot of Federal workers live paycheck to paycheck and have kids to support, so furloughs would hurt a lot of people; yet there's almost a brutal justice towards the people in power with this sequester. This was supposed to be a poison pill that hurts all parties and benefits no one, so Congress would get their shit together. And of course they didn't! They've ALREADY failed, they've failed SEVERAL times in fact, so it's time to face the consequences politically.
	6:14pm glenn: just wondering - how many libertarians would it take before society fell apart because nobody was paying taxes?
	6:14pm anne: good to hear this topic. my job prospects have been most probably wiped out by the sequestration, an application process that has consumed me for the last few months. but cross my fingers and readjust and keep on keepin on.
	6:14pm Nate: Ah yes, Melissa! Thanks for the info. Like this better
	6:14pm Matt from Springfield: Too bad the ordinary people have to suffer through it as well. I can only hope they will channel their anger at the political establishment, hastening the conclusion to this debacle and getting it over with for a generation or forever. Phew! Anyways...early version of "Melissa"! Interesting listen! "Politics divide, music unites!"
	6:14pm glenn: i know that's badly worded, sorry.
	6:17pm Matt from Springfield: Hurry Republican Party! There's still a minority of Americans you haven't left yet! Keep running into batshit territory, faster than the teabaggers can catch up to you!
	6:17pm sweet cheri: hey there clay & everybody else!! what's up??
	6:17pm Sugarfly Waterloo: I enjoyed Paul Bagela's suggestion that if Texas and Kentucky really want to deal with their toxic addictions to government funding they can close the massive military bases that exists there.
	6:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Let me guess, no congresspersons or senators will lose any paychecks?
	6:18pm Matt from Springfield: Westfield New Jersey goes 90s techno! :)
	6:18pm Clay Pigeon: Hey Cheri and Ken!
	6:19pm Matt from Springfield: @Ken: Some have "volunteered" to give up 20% of their pay or donate it in response--zero mechanism for verifying if they comply.
	6:19pm Nate: Is Westfield, NJ a real song? OY VEY! Rock me, Montrose! Love it!
	6:20pm Clay Pigeon: A Pidgemix, Nate.
	6:20pm Nate: Is "Bad Motorscooter" a Montrose tune?
	6:21pm Clay Pigeon: I think so, Nate.
	6:21pm Nate: I must have a Pidgemix. I feel a pledge extra coming on. . .
	6:21pm Fredericks: Clayton, I can tell you had some time for editing. Sounds great.
	6:22pm Matt from Springfield: "Blue book"? Oh, Bloomberg! What's your car's Bloomberg value? :)
	6:22pm Matt from Springfield: Woooohoooo! Bloomberg Spanglish!!
	6:22pm Clay Pigeon: Thanks for noticing, Fredericks. From here on out the editing thins as time eroded. Good to hear from you.
	6:23pm Clay Pigeon: haha Matt!
	6:23pm Matt from Springfield: @Nate: That's an idea for Clay's "Bonus CD" he always includes w/ Clay's Classics premiums--next time include a CD of Pidgemixes!
	6:24pm steve: can't believe how self motivated this guy is. i wonder where he'll be in a few years.
	6:24pm Matt from Springfield: Yeah!! You tell 'em, high class powder Whitney!
	6:25pm Carmichael: Yes. Pidgemixes and Bloomberg Spanglish, all mashed up real soft-like.
	6:25pm Fredericks: Hello, fellow Pigeonnaires.
	6:25pm Matt from Springfield: Salt in Fabio's wounds!! :D
	6:26pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Great idea! And of course Pidge's sound FX throughout. H.P. Lovecraft psych band!!
	6:27pm Matt from Springfield: Hey Fredericks! How Pigeonnaire of you.
	6:27pm Nate: @Matt Awesome! I'm getting out the ol' leather taco now. Ready to fill the Paypal. Wait a minute, WFMU take PayPal?
	6:28pm Clay Pigeon: I endorse Pigeonnaires.
	6:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Nate: I believe WFMU does! Check the Pledge! page.
	6:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Clay: Aha! Like a pigeon, flying in the air! It works!
	6:29pm Nate: Ok. Just signed in and saw the banner
	6:31pm Nate: I think I'm going to have to talk to Andrea about building a plug-in, so you can sign into "Friendship Society" via the mobile WFMU App
	6:32pm Carmichael: Do I hear Kenny Rogers singing in this group???
	6:33pm Nate: Ok. I'm going to see if Pigeonnaires is available on Facebook Groups
	6:33pm BadGuyZero: I'll coming up in a couple of weeks to help out during the final week of the marathon. I'm looking forward to it!
	6:33pm Clay Pigeon: Maybe Carm. I hope so.
	6:33pm glenn: jeeeez. i always thought up with people was a buncha earnest right wing doofuses. i didn't know it was a musical.
	6:34pm Clay Pigeon: You'll have fun, Bad Guy.
	6:34pm Matt from Springfield: There's another hidden perk to the sequester's furloughs--Federal workers aren't allowed to strike (which I agree with). Federal workers also aren't allowed to work for free or when there's no money appropriated (harder to understand years ago, e.g. why no free internships, but agree now). The Teabagger Republicans who are wanting this sequester probably don't like anyone striking, particularly Feds. And yet...that's what this winds up being, a labor action! A slowdown and walkoff, FORBIDDEN from working more than 32 hours a week. After being pushed around for so many years, now can be a time of "striking" in protest at Congress, LEGALLY!
	6:34pm Carmichael: I know he was a member of Up With People at one time. He was one of the guys they mocked in A Mighty Wind. Sweaters and smiles.
	6:34pm Clay Pigeon: Huge musical, Glenn. Sponsored by Schick.
	6:35pm High gas prices: Got you down? Thank your friends in DC for the Iranian sanctions and our Saudi pals who claimed they would increase production. World markets react to scarcity. Why love America when America certainly doesn't love you.
	6:36pm Matt from Springfield: A mandatory and not voted on strike, but still powerful, affecting all departments and nearly every worker equally. Once flights are backed up for miles and meat lovers can't get any meat w/o paying $100s on the black market, the anti-government voters may get a lesson in what government does, the hard way.
	6:37pm Carmichael: Hey, High Gas: Look up Prescott Bush. This crap has been going on for the last 75 years.
	6:37pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Up With People, crazy group, they almost satire themselves! I believe that was the group crazy Interior Secretary James Watt had at the national 4th of July concert, because the Beach Boys were "un-American"(!!!!)
	6:37pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I come from a family full of hard-working public employees. I'm not one, but it bugs me how much this debate characterizes public employees as all wasteful laggarts. Really just not true.
	6:38pm Clay Pigeon: Beano vs. Gas-X.
	6:38pm glenn: or, high gas prices, you could always say that if you embrace capitalism, ya gotta suck up high gas prices. gas in venezuela = 9 cents / litre.
	6:38pm Nate: www.facebook.com... I reserved it for us
	6:39pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Monopolies, cartels, speculators and oligarchs--markets or socialism, whatever you call it, it ain't "free" by any means. The whole energy market is rigged, and not in the regular guy's favor.
	6:40pm steve: "Romney built his business from nothing." come on now, thats just silly.
	6:40pm Matt from Springfield: Ha HA! Thanks Nate! I'm joining up! All you Pigeonnaires should join the appropriate FB group, too :)
	6:40pm Matt from Springfield: @steve: Hey, people will only vote for Romney if they're silly to begin with!
	6:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: I recall Dave Emory on WFMU mentioned Prescott Bush a few times.
	6:42pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Still, we ought to be able to find ways to cut expenses without this kind of both-sides-of-the-aisle jackassery.
	6:42pm Night Al: Worked the 'Pink' concert last night, 'Bon Jovi' tomorrow night... hard work putting on these big concerts.
	6:42pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I miss Dave Emory's voice.
	6:42pm Nate: @Matt I'll shoot you an email after the show. I have a couple questions. . .
	6:43pm Clay Pigeon: this tape turn could be a freakout. not used to deck.
	6:43pm Night Al: If you don't have a senate and house majority, you're a lame duck president.
	6:43pm Matt from Springfield: @Pete: There's the easy way, and the hard way to do it. Seems like the whole of America will have to take the hard way, thanks to Congress.
	6:43pm Matt from Springfield: Go ahead, Nate!
	6:43pm Timbrocks: Joining late... hope you have a great show Clay! I'm going to have to do a replay later to catch the first half.
	6:44pm Clay Pigeon: Hey Timbo!
	6:44pm anne: federal workers are a huge number of people that are commonly referred to as one, within which there is a lot of variation according to agency and departments. for National Park Service workers, to protect the worker, they are not to work for free doing their duties so that the worker is paid for their work and not taken advantage of. that said, there are thousands upon thousands of volunteers who augment the work of the NPS (and other public agencies) because there are less and less permanent NPS paid staff, yet more and more work. visitation to National Parks have increased substantially, facilities age with time and are falling apart, and budgets are reduced each year. the result of this all is "blame the government" if any NPS services fall short. so when we speak of "federal workers", be specific in who/what you're talking about, and back it up with experience or stats. federal workers are us, our relatives, friends and neighbors. just my 2 cents to a previous comment somewhere on the board.
	6:45pm dale: hey clay! late sign in for me - my cat was having a mild seizure and i had to sit and hold her. who know having pets was so hard.
	6:45pm Carmichael: I've been in Government for 25+ years, and I still can't figure out how my budget works, much less the whole system's. Someone who says they can run government because they own a business is a complete jackass.
	6:45pm Special Man: Why don't Clay and Andy Breckman team up for the marathon: Andy's snarky remarks meet Clay Pigeon soft power united through the love of soft 70s rock.
	6:46pm Clay Pigeon: Thank you, Anne.
	6:46pm glenn: what carm said, times 100.
	6:46pm Clay Pigeon: Hey Dale!
	6:47pm Timbrocks: I miss Bill Clinton. That guy knew how to do it.
	6:47pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Not only is profit totally not the point of government, but no one inside or out of government knows how their budgets work anyway! And the budgets we have are always late anyway, after much legislative infighting and dealmaking.
	6:47pm Clay Pigeon: Sounds fun, Special. I'm looking forward to hosting with Duane and William Berger. Oh, and Fabio.
	6:47pm cklequ: @Special Man ...I agree. Clay and Andy would be great together.
	6:49pm steve: is the list of dj tag teams up yet?
	6:50pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, Clay and Bill Berger! That should be fun--in fact, you interviewed Wm. Berger already during Sandy, so I KNOW that will be fun!
	6:50pm Clay Pigeon: I may have blurted.
	6:50pm Carmichael: Oh, A Mighty Wind kinda went after the New Christy Minstrels as well. That was a strange time, folk singers from the suburbs singing about picking cotton in the hot sun, spending time in a Mexican prison, and chasing whales in the Atlantic. All they had going for them was sincerity.
	6:51pm Matt from Springfield: @steve: A kind listener has "leaked" the tag teams to the public :) imageshack.us... imageshack.us...
	6:51pm steve: whoa nice work Matt!
	6:51pm BadGuyZero: @steve: Yes. The marathon pairings are up on the marathon page. There's a tab for the list.
	6:52pm BadGuyZero: www.wfmu.org...
	6:52pm Timbrocks: Clay, I really enjoyed your marathon after Sandy. Love to hear you in the studio just spinning whatever you feel like spinning. Good stuff. Are you setting up for another battle with Fabio anytime soon?
	6:53pm Clay Pigeon: I suppose i should wrap it up here. Andy's coming up with Night People. Thanks for listening everyone. Don't forget marathon and FMU in the upcoming 2-weeks. Appreciate your listening. Take care and ... always remember ... CC5 !!!!!!!!!!! 99
	6:53pm Nate: Thanks @Matt and @BadGuyZero! Michele & Frangry with Ken Freedman. . .Any thoughts?
	6:54pm anne: thanks a bunch, Clay!
	6:54pm Clay Pigeon: Power Pop battle with Evan Davies after marathon, on his show. A 3-hour duuuuuuel!
	6:54pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks BGZ, finally the "legit" copy! ;)
	6:54pm Nate: KILLLLLLLLLLERRRRRR!!!!
	6:55pm Clay Pigeon: Facebook. Twitter. Heh.
	6:55pm Nate: On the EFD Pop Battle, I mean. . .
	6:55pm Matt from Springfield: WHOA!! That's AMAZING Clay!! I - must - not - miss - THAT!! :D Thanks for this important and topical show (like always)! Have a great night, Pigeonnaires! Always Remember...to PLEDGE! :)
	6:55pm Timbrocks: Man, this interview is so sad. Feel so bad for this guy. :'(
	6:57pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Anne, are you in the NPS? Part of my public-worker family is.
	6:57pm dale: oh, i love sister steve - wrong tracy nelson?
	6:58pm northguineahills: Good fun, thanks Clay!
	6:58pm Timbrocks: Cheers, Clay. Have a great night.
	6:59pm BadGuyZero: If thrift store clothing can have demons attached to it can flea market records have them too?
	6:59pm anne: @Pete, yeah but on a seasonal basis. which if rumor is correct, all seasonal hiring is nixed due to sequestration. I've been seasonal for 4 seasons, state contractor for 1, full-time volunteer for 1: Hawai'i, NYC, and Indiana. big up to you and your family!
	7:00pm Carmichael: Later, Clay dude.
	7:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice outro song.
	7:01pm Parq: Clay, check out Linda Ronstadt's cover of that Tracy song. (Only with you could I suggest a Linda Ronstadt record on WFMU.)
	7:01pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): NPS is one of my favorite organizations, public or otherwise. Cheers to you.
	7:05pm anne: thanx Pete :) where does your family work?

Thanks for listenning to this episode of The Dusty Show! Sorry I am a little late in getting this playlist done. As I type this, we are in the midst of Marathon and things are understandably hectic. Perhaps you have noticed that in recent weeks I have bounced back and forth a lot between live shows, stories, and taped issue-oriented shows. I was reviewing the archives prior to Marathon and trying to get a feel for the arc of the past year. Admittedly, I have struggled to find my footing a bit recently. I'll be glad when Marathon is over and some time and normalcy return. I also miss filling in on the three-hour shows. I have so much vinyl stockpiled! I have always felt that mine is not a music show and I get a bit of crap for the music on Dusty, yet, sometimes you guys make me feel like you really enjoy it! We'll see where things go. I am on Twitter, Soundcloud and Facebook now. Look me up. Join the Pigeonnaires! Until next time, take care ... PLEASE PLEDGE!!!! and ... always remember Clay - NYC 2225899

	6:17pm sweet cheri: hey there clay & everybody else!! what's up??
	6:17pm Sugarfly Waterloo: I enjoyed Paul Bagela's suggestion that if Texas and Kentucky really want to deal with their toxic addictions to government funding they can close the massive military bases that exists there.
	6:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Let me guess, no congresspersons or senators will lose any paychecks?
	6:18pm Matt from Springfield: Westfield New Jersey goes 90s techno! :)
	6:18pm Clay Pigeon: Hey Cheri and Ken!
	6:19pm Matt from Springfield: @Ken: Some have "volunteered" to give up 20% of their pay or donate it in response--zero mechanism for verifying if they comply.
	6:19pm Nate: Is Westfield, NJ a real song? OY VEY! Rock me, Montrose! Love it!
	6:20pm Clay Pigeon: A Pidgemix, Nate.

	6:26pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Great idea! And of course Pidge's sound FX throughout. H.P. Lovecraft psych band!!
	6:27pm Matt from Springfield: Hey Fredericks! How Pigeonnaire of you.
	6:27pm Nate: @Matt Awesome! I'm getting out the ol' leather taco now. Ready to fill the Paypal. Wait a minute, WFMU take PayPal?
	6:28pm Clay Pigeon: I endorse Pigeonnaires.
	6:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Nate: I believe WFMU does! Check the Pledge! page.
	6:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Clay: Aha! Like a pigeon, flying in the air! It works!
	6:29pm Nate: Ok. Just signed in and saw the banner
	6:31pm Nate: I think I'm going to have to talk to Andrea about building a plug-in, so you can sign into "Friendship Society" via the mobile WFMU App
	6:32pm Carmichael: Do I hear Kenny Rogers singing in this group???
	6:33pm Nate: Ok. I'm going to see if Pigeonnaires is available on Facebook Groups
	6:33pm BadGuyZero: I'll coming up in a couple of weeks to help out during the final week of the marathon. I'm looking forward to it!
	6:33pm Clay Pigeon: Maybe Carm. I hope so.
	6:33pm glenn: jeeeez. i always thought up with people was a buncha earnest right wing doofuses. i didn't know it was a musical.
	6:34pm Clay Pigeon: You'll have fun, Bad Guy.
	6:34pm Matt from Springfield: There's another hidden perk to the sequester's furloughs--Federal workers aren't allowed to strike (which I agree with). Federal workers also aren't allowed to work for free or when there's no money appropriated (harder to understand years ago, e.g. why no free internships, but agree now). The Teabagger Republicans who are wanting this sequester probably don't like anyone striking, particularly Feds. And yet...that's what this winds up being, a labor action! A slowdown and walkoff, FORBIDDEN from working more than 32 hours a week. After being pushed around for so many years, now can be a time of "striking" in protest at Congress, LEGALLY!
	6:34pm Carmichael: I know he was a member of Up With People at one time. He was one of the guys they mocked in A Mighty Wind. Sweaters and smiles.
	6:34pm Clay Pigeon: Huge musical, Glenn. Sponsored by Schick.
	6:35pm High gas prices: Got you down? Thank your friends in DC for the Iranian sanctions and our Saudi pals who claimed they would increase production. World markets react to scarcity. Why love America when America certainly doesn't love you.
	6:36pm Matt from Springfield: A mandatory and not voted on strike, but still powerful, affecting all departments and nearly every worker equally. Once flights are backed up for miles and meat lovers can't get any meat w/o paying $100s on the black market, the anti-government voters may get a lesson in what government does, the hard way.
	6:37pm Carmichael: Hey, High Gas: Look up Prescott Bush. This crap has been going on for the last 75 years.
	6:37pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Up With People, crazy group, they almost satire themselves! I believe that was the group crazy Interior Secretary James Watt had at the national 4th of July concert, because the Beach Boys were "un-American"(!!!!)
	6:37pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I come from a family full of hard-working public employees. I'm not one, but it bugs me how much this debate characterizes public employees as all wasteful laggarts. Really just not true.
	6:38pm Clay Pigeon: Beano vs. Gas-X.
	6:38pm glenn: or, high gas prices, you could always say that if you embrace capitalism, ya gotta suck up high gas prices. gas in venezuela = 9 cents / litre.
	6:38pm Nate: www.facebook.com... I reserved it for us
	6:39pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Monopolies, cartels, speculators and oligarchs--markets or socialism, whatever you call it, it ain't "free" by any means. The whole energy market is rigged, and not in the regular guy's favor.
	6:40pm steve: "Romney built his business from nothing." come on now, thats just silly.
	6:40pm Matt from Springfield: Ha HA! Thanks Nate! I'm joining up! All you Pigeonnaires should join the appropriate FB group, too :)
	6:40pm Matt from Springfield: @steve: Hey, people will only vote for Romney if they're silly to begin with!
	6:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: I recall Dave Emory on WFMU mentioned Prescott Bush a few times.
	6:42pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Still, we ought to be able to find ways to cut expenses without this kind of both-sides-of-the-aisle jackassery.
	6:42pm Night Al: Worked the 'Pink' concert last night, 'Bon Jovi' tomorrow night... hard work putting on these big concerts.
	6:42pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): I miss Dave Emory's voice.
	6:42pm Nate: @Matt I'll shoot you an email after the show. I have a couple questions. . .
	6:43pm Clay Pigeon: this tape turn could be a freakout. not used to deck.
	6:43pm Night Al: If you don't have a senate and house majority, you're a lame duck president.
	6:43pm Matt from Springfield: @Pete: There's the easy way, and the hard way to do it. Seems like the whole of America will have to take the hard way, thanks to Congress.
	6:43pm Matt from Springfield: Go ahead, Nate!
	6:43pm Timbrocks: Joining late... hope you have a great show Clay! I'm going to have to do a replay later to catch the first half.
	6:44pm Clay Pigeon: Hey Timbo!
	6:44pm anne: federal workers are a huge number of people that are commonly referred to as one, within which there is a lot of variation according to agency and departments. for National Park Service workers, to protect the worker, they are not to work for free doing their duties so that the worker is paid for their work and not taken advantage of. that said, there are thousands upon thousands of volunteers who augment the work of the NPS (and other public agencies) because there are less and less permanent NPS paid staff, yet more and more work. visitation to National Parks have increased substantially, facilities age with time and are falling apart, and budgets are reduced each year. the result of this all is "blame the government" if any NPS services fall short. so when we speak of "federal workers", be specific in who/what you're talking about, and back it up with experience or stats. federal workers are us, our relatives, friends and neighbors. just my 2 cents to a previous comment somewhere on the board.
	6:45pm dale: hey clay! late sign in for me - my cat was having a mild seizure and i had to sit and hold her. who know having pets was so hard.
	6:45pm Carmichael: I've been in Government for 25+ years, and I still can't figure out how my budget works, much less the whole system's. Someone who says they can run government because they own a business is a complete jackass.
	6:45pm Special Man: Why don't Clay and Andy Breckman team up for the marathon: Andy's snarky remarks meet Clay Pigeon soft power united through the love of soft 70s rock.
	6:46pm Clay Pigeon: Thank you, Anne.
	6:46pm glenn: what carm said, times 100.
	6:46pm Clay Pigeon: Hey Dale!
	6:47pm Timbrocks: I miss Bill Clinton. That guy knew how to do it.
	6:47pm Matt from Springfield: @Carm: Not only is profit totally not the point of government, but no one inside or out of government knows how their budgets work anyway! And the budgets we have are always late anyway, after much legislative infighting and dealmaking.
	6:47pm Clay Pigeon: Sounds fun, Special. I'm looking forward to hosting with Duane and William Berger. Oh, and Fabio.
	6:47pm cklequ: @Special Man ...I agree. Clay and Andy would be great together.
	6:49pm steve: is the list of dj tag teams up yet?
	6:50pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, Clay and Bill Berger! That should be fun--in fact, you interviewed Wm. Berger already during Sandy, so I KNOW that will be fun!
	6:50pm Clay Pigeon: I may have blurted.
	6:50pm Carmichael: Oh, A Mighty Wind kinda went after the New Christy Minstrels as well. That was a strange time, folk singers from the suburbs singing about picking cotton in the hot sun, spending time in a Mexican prison, and chasing whales in the Atlantic. All they had going for them was sincerity.
	6:51pm Matt from Springfield: @steve: A kind listener has "leaked" the tag teams to the public :) imageshack.us... imageshack.us...
	6:51pm steve: whoa nice work Matt!
	6:51pm BadGuyZero: @steve: Yes. The marathon pairings are up on the marathon page. There's a tab for the list.
	6:52pm BadGuyZero: www.wfmu.org...
	6:52pm Timbrocks: Clay, I really enjoyed your marathon after Sandy. Love to hear you in the studio just spinning whatever you feel like spinning. Good stuff. Are you setting up for another battle with Fabio anytime soon?
	6:53pm Clay Pigeon: I suppose i should wrap it up here. Andy's coming up with Night People. Thanks for listening everyone. Don't forget marathon and FMU in the upcoming 2-weeks. Appreciate your listening. Take care and ... always remember ... CC5 !!!!!!!!!!! 99
	6:53pm Nate: Thanks @Matt and @BadGuyZero! Michele & Frangry with Ken Freedman. . .Any thoughts?
	6:54pm anne: thanks a bunch, Clay!
	6:54pm Clay Pigeon: Power Pop battle with Evan Davies after marathon, on his show. A 3-hour duuuuuuel!
	6:54pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks BGZ, finally the "legit" copy! ;)
	6:54pm Nate: KILLLLLLLLLLERRRRRR!!!!
	6:55pm Clay Pigeon: Facebook. Twitter. Heh.
	6:55pm Nate: On the EFD Pop Battle, I mean. . .
	6:55pm Matt from Springfield: WHOA!! That's AMAZING Clay!! I - must - not - miss - THAT!! :D Thanks for this important and topical show (like always)! Have a great night, Pigeonnaires! Always Remember...to PLEDGE! :)
	6:55pm Timbrocks: Man, this interview is so sad. Feel so bad for this guy. :'(
	6:57pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): Anne, are you in the NPS? Part of my public-worker family is.
	6:57pm dale: oh, i love sister steve - wrong tracy nelson?
	6:58pm northguineahills: Good fun, thanks Clay!
	6:58pm Timbrocks: Cheers, Clay. Have a great night.
	6:59pm BadGuyZero: If thrift store clothing can have demons attached to it can flea market records have them too?
	6:59pm anne: @Pete, yeah but on a seasonal basis. which if rumor is correct, all seasonal hiring is nixed due to sequestration. I've been seasonal for 4 seasons, state contractor for 1, full-time volunteer for 1: Hawai'i, NYC, and Indiana. big up to you and your family!
	7:00pm Carmichael: Later, Clay dude.
	7:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice outro song.
	7:01pm Parq: Clay, check out Linda Ronstadt's cover of that Tracy song. (Only with you could I suggest a Linda Ronstadt record on WFMU.)
	7:01pm Pete from Boston (and NJ): NPS is one of my favorite organizations, public or otherwise. Cheers to you.
	7:05pm anne: thanx Pete :) where does your family work?
