Listener comments!
	3:03am P-90: Tra La La La La and Merrie Forbidden Fruit to DJ Julie and whoever else blooms in the Dark Hours
	🦇 3:07am Julie: Happy May p-90!
	3:16am Orvan Taurus: So glad April is OVER. Moo.
	🦇 3:16am Julie: Was April so bad? And Moo back at ya
	3:18am Orvan Taurus: The last several days sure were. A fecal tornado, to be euphemistic.
	3:19am P-90: @ Orvan T.: "Thank God it's May Day"? Wasn't there a song about that? There should be
	🦇 3:21am Julie: wow, that's vivid
	3:25am Orvan Taurus: May will at least start well, with about a week of vacation & Penguicon. The rest, well, my hopes are not my expectations, alas.
	🦇 3:26am Julie: Penguincon?
	3:28am Orvan Taurus: Penguicon, a science fiction & computing (& other nerdy stuff) convention this weekend in the Detroit area.
	🦇 3:29am Julie: ahhh..what does the Pengui stand for?
	3:30am Orvan Taurus: Tux, the Penguin, who is the Linux mascot.
	3:34am P-90: I've never been, but by reputation it's the best-known SF AND computer convention, it's supposed to be a lot of fun.
	3:43am ratbone: why is it that it is better to listen to the actual show than the archives? it may be that we feel we have some tiny connection to the process. this comment thingy notwithstanding. it would be the same without it . when i flap my tiny butterfly wings here on the couch i am contributing to chaos.. yes!
	🦇 3:44am Julie: hehe hi ratbone!
	🦇 3:45am Julie: It IS nice to have the company for me
	3:47am Orvan Taurus: "You are not alone" is very powerful message, even if delivered subtly.
	3:51am BadGuyZero: ¡Hola!
	3:53am ratbone: my buddies and me kickin back, listening to a few sides..
	3:59am jacob: labor day here in paris "fete du travail" and julie your belle voix since 9am this morning along with your prime cuts are significantly awakening! bien a vous.
	🦇 4:03am Julie: morning jacob, ratbone and buddies
	4:04am Rectitude: hI eVeRybOdY
	4:04am P-90: @ jacob: Bonne fete du travail! -- et bienvenue
	🦇 4:05am Julie: morning, rectitude
	4:06am Guido from Cologne: Free games for May! Hear Kristeen Young play! :-) Just in time ... good morning everybody!
	🦇 4:06am Julie: This is the third time I've heard these songs today, in the last 8 hours, and I don't mind :)
	🦇 4:06am Julie: morning Guido!
	🦇 4:15am Julie: So quiet..I hope that's a good sign
	4:17am Rectitude: tHumbs uP .... ... . .
	4:18am Orvan Taurus: Been bit busy baking. Four pans of brownies (one with jalapenos, one with ghost pepper sauce) & then, finally, my way late lunch. But listening all along.
	🦇 4:18am Julie: what's the occasion for four pans of brownies?
	4:20am Orvan Taurus: Pengucon.A couple of the parties I contribute to. One tends to like spicy things. Last few days were cookie days for another group.
	🦇 4:21am Julie: Orvan why the heck did I think you were in Europe
	4:22am Guido from Cologne: Listening. Holiday morning routines. watching Kristieens's photo gallery on FB.
	🦇 4:23am Julie: she is really dynamic on stage, doesn't stay behind the keyboard the whole time
	🦇 4:23am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Listening... while pretending to work until I fulfil my hours... while playing sudoku. :-)
	🦇 4:24am Julie: Elwyn why the name change? Did you lose a bet?
	4:25am Orvan Taurus: Jacob & Guido had you thinking of Europe rather than the Great Plains & Great Lakes, I suppose. Can't blame you.I'd rather think of Cologne & Paris than Detroit, generally.
	🦇 4:25am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): During last year's marathon, I think it was Liz Berg who offered to give people their punk rock names for a pledge of $15. Ha ha ha!
	🦇 4:26am Julie: Ah.. I gave out goth names for pledges this year
	🦇 4:28am Julie: This set is quite short, so stay tuned after the interview for some stuff from her albums :)
	4:29am Guido from Cologne: How many suitcases does Kristeen carry with her on tour? Or does she invent a new stage garment for each particular show?
	4:29am Matt from Springfield: Happy May Julie and everybody! Go Kristeeeeeeeeeeen!
	🦇 4:30am Julie: She has great outfits doesn't she! Morning, Matt! You better learn to get up at 4am, i have lots of guests new few weeks!
	4:32am Matt from Springfield: Good color scheme for the band, to include hair color! Morning from: Nick Heartsong, Uther Raven, and Phyllis Killer :) I'll be sure to check out the show earlier--guests are in bloom!
	4:33am Guido from Cologne: German Wikipedia says Lady Gaga stole designs from her.
	🦇 4:33am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I often go to bed at 4 am then have to get to work at 10 am.
	🦇 4:34am Julie: Yeah she had the bubble dress first. Side note, Dave Grohl plays on the new album
	4:35am Matt from Springfield: Cool.
	🦇 4:35am Julie: And Tony Visconti on Bass
	4:36am P-90: Dave Grohl!
	🦇 4:37am Julie: Damn Elwyn you sound as sleep deprived as I am
	4:37am Meghan: Morning! Has that rain stopped?!?!
	🦇 4:37am Julie: Meghan it had stopped when I got through the tunnel. Manhattan was wetter.
	🦇 4:38am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Ever since Dave Grohl played on a Cat Power album, I've come to appreciate his guest appearances as a drummer more than Foo Fighter albums. I need more sleep. I nod off if work gets a bit boring.
	🦇 4:38am Julie: Don't we all?
	4:39am Guido from Cologne: Vinyl has limitations and thus the sound might underg certain heavy treatments during the mastering process.
	4:39am Matt from Springfield: Vinyl is the ultimate physical media--stylus manually reading data, same rough technique for more than a century. Anyone can make a CD--I wonder if I can get a computer with a 16-X vinyl-ROM burner...
	4:39am Matt from Springfield: Tour with MORRISSEY! What did I tell ya, live DEPRESSION CONTEST face-off! :D
	4:40am BadGuyZero: I think I'm going to be out-of-town when the Morrissey/Kristeen extravaganza comes to Dallas. :/
	4:41am P-90: @ DJ Meghan: Good (May Day) Morning! Kristeen has a point about the redundancy of artists crediting themselves as producers on their own records...
	🦇 4:41am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Yes but my supervisor wakes me up with a bicycle horn. I only own one Pixies album in vinyl and it's the latest one. Fugly cover.
	🦇 4:41am Julie: Darnit BGZ..where are you going, maybe they'll be there
	🦇 4:41am Julie: Yes but there are also those folks who assume a man did all the producing.
	4:42am Matt from Springfield: @Guido: Most notably, you can't engineer too deep a bass on records, or else it will jump the stylus off.
	4:42am BadGuyZero: I checked my calendar. I'll be chasing Mogwai around.
	4:43am Orvan Taurus: I have seen an article about 3d printing a record. It sounded sort of like a crude pre-electronic amplifier cylinder when played.
	4:43am Matt from Springfield: And I guess it represents the evolution of a performer, when they can produce their own recordings (and possibly produce for others too).
	4:43am Gizmo "G": Mogwai?
	4:44am Matt from Springfield: @Orvan: I can only assume that 3d fab will improve with time, particularly specialty functions like printing a record (perhaps using a different material than vinyl if it produces a better sound).
	🦇 4:45am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Orvan: Somebody uploaded a 3D printer file for "Blue Monday". It's insanely huge. @Matt: Does that mean if they ever discover "the brown note", they can't put it on vinyl? -(
	4:45am BadGuyZero: www.mogwai.co.uk
	4:46am P-90: @ Julie: You mean if the artist is female, there's a tendency to a sexist assumption that some male probably produced the record for her?
	4:46am BadGuyZero: BLERG! That link didn't post correctly.
	🦇 4:47am Julie: Yes, P-90.
	4:48am Guido from Cologne: The RIAA-curve means HEAVY Equalisation: - bass and heights off while cutting the matrix - the reverse way during every playback with your stylus In this process some heavy distortions might show up (distorted deep bass, distortsted S-consonants or hi-hat) Thus in the preperation such traps have to be smothed out. It's a craft that has to be done attentively. All in all it is heavy sound manipulation, though the averga listener is not aware. All the stuff about vinyl simply sounds "better" or "more natural" really does not make sense from the logical point of view.
	4:50am Matt from Springfield: Without the H.R. Puffenstuff lyric, this would sound a lot like a Kate song. @Elwyn: Rest assured, whoever discovers the "brown note" is going to send a massive email to play it out of all our computers ;)
	4:51am Matt from Springfield: Oh! "Music for Strippers, Hookers and the Odd On-Looker"..I remember this title, it's one of my faves! :)
	4:59am Rectitude: tHIS IS KINDA "gROWING on me
	🦇 5:01am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): See you all later!
	5:02am P-90: @ Guido: Yes, of course digital and analog records are eq'd differently. But the issue with digital mostly concerns the loss of some kinds of sonic "information" in digital that are retained on vinyl. And sampling rate: Neil Young famously wrote a letter to Guitar Player magazine in may 1993 called "Digital is a Rip-Off" in which he made a strong argument that the industry rushed to "lock-in" the standard rate too quickly, instead of waiting for denser sampling to become practical. He's since participated in the development of an improved digital recording system...
	5:04am P-90: And @ Matt: I just hope that whoever finally delivers that "brown note" washes their hands thoroughly afterward.
	5:07am Matt from Springfield: @P-90: Indeed. I didn't consider how messy research can be...
	🦇 5:13am Julie: as you can see next week's show is gonna be kinda spacey
	5:14am Matt from Springfield: Wow, this is a twisted synth sound! Glad you got them for the show.
	🦇 5:16am Julie: I'll tell you Matt, the bands I had in this weekend, 3 very different acts. Yay for freeform!
	5:17am Rectitude yay: YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY
	5:19am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Wow, did bands get to meet other, or was there no overlap in recording times?
	🦇 5:20am Julie: Nope, friday, saturday, sunday. Someone from the 3rd band was supposed to be at KY's show tonight, but I didn't see her. I'm not insane enough to do two in one day :)
	🦇 5:20am Julie: But I should buy stock in Milanos.
	5:21am BadGuyZero: This Beat Happening cover by Cosmetics is available for free download on their Bandcamp page! cosmeticscosmeticscosmetics.bandcamp.com...
	🦇 5:21am Julie: I really like these guys, I put the record on and I was like WOW
	5:22am BadGuyZero: I bought some Chewy Chips Ahoy that had caramel and pretzel in them. I think there's crack in there too 'cause I'm now a fiend for those cookies.
	5:23am Guido from Cologne: Sampling rates on CDs are relatively low. And those on effect units from 80ies were extremely low. If you do digital multi-track production, this is an issue. Today productions are done with higher sampling rates. I dare to say, you have more signal loss via the signal-noise ratio and the physical limitations of the vinyl (such as extremely low basses and extremely high heights) than with sampling rates limitations of the red book CD standard. ... just came in mind: I heaven't mentioned the dynamics, signal-noise-ratio thing ... which leds to a need for compression ... even on classic music productins. Those good old analog compression machines were extremely expensive and are hard to simulate. They often are preceived as "pleasant", "full" or "warm". I suspect the all-over manipulation (EQing and Compression) pruoduces a certain loss of transparence and an increase of denity in sound, which is preceived "pleasant" . And of course listening to "classic 70ies rock albums" which had been produced for vinyl: when simply put to CD, the result can be shocking. Neil Young said? Well.... he said ... I have been discussing with mastering engineers, who personally are into the craft.
	5:24am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: That's just wrong...but how can it be wrong, when it feels so right??
	5:24am BadGuyZero: I had never heard of Cosmetics prior to Record Store Day. I was looking at leftovers available online and kept seeing their RSD record. So I checked them out and really dig what they're doing.
	🦇 5:25am Julie: What's on their RSD record?
	🦇 5:26am Julie: the 12" surely caught my eye in the new bin
	5:27am BadGuyZero: I think it's alternate and/or demo versions of the songs on that album. I'll see if I can find some info.
	5:27am Rectitude: Groove
	5:27am Guido from Cologne: ... one last word: I used to hate CDs , simply for the overall cheesy product aesthetics. ... and I'm a confessing Fiona Apple fan. ;-)
	5:28am Matt from Springfield: Is THIS all there is?! :D
	5:29am BadGuyZero: COSMETICS OLYMPIA...PLUS (LP) Record Store Day 2014 Release. Cosmetics bring you lost mixes from the Tuff Trax vault. In April 2011 the band went to Dub Narcotic studio in Olympia, Washington to mix what was supposed to be songs for their first album. At the studio with technician, the band were able to try some weird techniques.
	🦇 5:30am Julie: ah that's what this one is actually
	5:30am Rectitude: this is great
	🦇 5:32am Julie: good thing as it is the "long version"
	5:32am Matt from Springfield: Let's bring out the 'LUDES!
	5:32am BadGuyZero: I subscribed to a bunch of streaming services to listen to Cosmetics. They make more if I listen to them on Spotify versus my buying one of their records. </sarcasm>
	🦇 5:32am Julie: Oh yes of course :)
	5:34am Matt from Springfield: TG!
	5:35am Dave B: I kinda miss 'ludes
	5:36am P-90: @ Julie: You mean bands consume a lot of Milanos?
	🦇 5:37am Julie: I had to find a Sasha song! This seems to be the best thing she's done. @P-90, it's what I always buy among the snacks. They're always a hit.
	5:38am Matt from Springfield: @Dave B: Never experienced them myself. There are forums like BlueLight where the feeling is discussed and the best equivalent drug for that effect.
	5:38am P-90: @Dave B.: 'Ludes definitely had their place in the world...
	5:40am Rectitude saw wolf wall street: SaW it in a movie, that's all i knOW
	5:41am Guido from Cologne: @P-90 Sorry: I didn't treat the neil Young quotation right. Just re -read that. Of course it could have been better if there was more patience from the industry.
	5:42am Dave B: Good morning!
	5:44am Matt from Springfield: Oh yeah: morning Dave!
	5:44am Meghan: stupid phone wouldn't let me comment! That Christina Song sounded like Julie Brown..... and damn it I missed half that Smiths song coming in the building!
	5:46am Matt from Springfield: Ride a white swan! Morning Meghan!
	5:47am Matt from Springfield: Speaking of flying on white swans, I'm flying out today to New Orleans! My cousin lives there now, and I'm going to see him and the Jazz & Heritage Festival. First time there, I'm expecting fun!
	5:51am Meghan: Ohhhhhh LOVE LOVE LOVE New Orleans!
	5:52am Matt from Springfield: I'll toast a drink and po boy/banh mi/muffuletta to you Meghan! ;)
	5:54am Meghan: Make sure you get out to do other things than the usual Bourbon St.(which I only lasted about 5 minutes on....). Three Muses on Frenchmen St is great and so is Cochon.....
	🦇 5:54am Julie: Thanks for listening guys! Zombie Zombie next week! Put on your spacesuits
	5:56am Matt from Springfield: Little Willy!! Thanks for the recs, Meghan! I'm adding that to my existing list of good recs.
	5:56am Guido from Cologne: Thank you for the great show and the wonderful live set Julie! My apologies for overdoing it with the technical details here. I will be a nice guy again next time. ;-)
	5:56am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Julie for a great show! Suiting up and preparing to get Lost In Space next week! Have a great Thursday, everyone!
	5:59am Matt from Springfield: Glockabelle! C'est bon!
	12:15pm Van in DC: Whoa, Kristeen in the house? Fantastic!
	4:18pm Van in DC: Man, just finished the Kristeen sets. I'm SO behind.
	12:30pm Van in DC: There. I did it. I finished this episode finally.

	🦇 4:21am Julie: Orvan why the heck did I think you were in Europe
	4:22am Guido from Cologne: Listening. Holiday morning routines. watching Kristieens's photo gallery on FB.
	🦇 4:23am Julie: she is really dynamic on stage, doesn't stay behind the keyboard the whole time
	🦇 4:23am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Listening... while pretending to work until I fulfil my hours... while playing sudoku. :-)
	🦇 4:24am Julie: Elwyn why the name change? Did you lose a bet?
	4:25am Orvan Taurus: Jacob & Guido had you thinking of Europe rather than the Great Plains & Great Lakes, I suppose. Can't blame you.I'd rather think of Cologne & Paris than Detroit, generally.
	🦇 4:25am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): During last year's marathon, I think it was Liz Berg who offered to give people their punk rock names for a pledge of $15. Ha ha ha!
	🦇 4:26am Julie: Ah.. I gave out goth names for pledges this year
	🦇 4:28am Julie: This set is quite short, so stay tuned after the interview for some stuff from her albums :)
	4:29am Guido from Cologne: How many suitcases does Kristeen carry with her on tour? Or does she invent a new stage garment for each particular show?
	4:29am Matt from Springfield: Happy May Julie and everybody! Go Kristeeeeeeeeeeen!
	🦇 4:30am Julie: She has great outfits doesn't she! Morning, Matt! You better learn to get up at 4am, i have lots of guests new few weeks!
	4:32am Matt from Springfield: Good color scheme for the band, to include hair color! Morning from: Nick Heartsong, Uther Raven, and Phyllis Killer :) I'll be sure to check out the show earlier--guests are in bloom!
	4:33am Guido from Cologne: German Wikipedia says Lady Gaga stole designs from her.
	🦇 4:33am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I often go to bed at 4 am then have to get to work at 10 am.
	🦇 4:34am Julie: Yeah she had the bubble dress first. Side note, Dave Grohl plays on the new album
	4:35am Matt from Springfield: Cool.
	🦇 4:35am Julie: And Tony Visconti on Bass
	4:36am P-90: Dave Grohl!
	🦇 4:37am Julie: Damn Elwyn you sound as sleep deprived as I am
	4:37am Meghan: Morning! Has that rain stopped?!?!
	🦇 4:37am Julie: Meghan it had stopped when I got through the tunnel. Manhattan was wetter.
	🦇 4:38am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Ever since Dave Grohl played on a Cat Power album, I've come to appreciate his guest appearances as a drummer more than Foo Fighter albums. I need more sleep. I nod off if work gets a bit boring.
	🦇 4:38am Julie: Don't we all?
	4:39am Guido from Cologne: Vinyl has limitations and thus the sound might underg certain heavy treatments during the mastering process.
	4:39am Matt from Springfield: Vinyl is the ultimate physical media--stylus manually reading data, same rough technique for more than a century. Anyone can make a CD--I wonder if I can get a computer with a 16-X vinyl-ROM burner...
	4:39am Matt from Springfield: Tour with MORRISSEY! What did I tell ya, live DEPRESSION CONTEST face-off! :D
	4:40am BadGuyZero: I think I'm going to be out-of-town when the Morrissey/Kristeen extravaganza comes to Dallas. :/
	4:41am P-90: @ DJ Meghan: Good (May Day) Morning! Kristeen has a point about the redundancy of artists crediting themselves as producers on their own records...
	🦇 4:41am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Yes but my supervisor wakes me up with a bicycle horn. I only own one Pixies album in vinyl and it's the latest one. Fugly cover.
	🦇 4:41am Julie: Darnit BGZ..where are you going, maybe they'll be there
	🦇 4:41am Julie: Yes but there are also those folks who assume a man did all the producing.
	4:42am Matt from Springfield: @Guido: Most notably, you can't engineer too deep a bass on records, or else it will jump the stylus off.
	4:42am BadGuyZero: I checked my calendar. I'll be chasing Mogwai around.
	4:43am Orvan Taurus: I have seen an article about 3d printing a record. It sounded sort of like a crude pre-electronic amplifier cylinder when played.
	4:43am Matt from Springfield: And I guess it represents the evolution of a performer, when they can produce their own recordings (and possibly produce for others too).
	4:43am Gizmo "G": Mogwai?
	4:44am Matt from Springfield: @Orvan: I can only assume that 3d fab will improve with time, particularly specialty functions like printing a record (perhaps using a different material than vinyl if it produces a better sound).
	🦇 4:45am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): @Orvan: Somebody uploaded a 3D printer file for "Blue Monday". It's insanely huge. @Matt: Does that mean if they ever discover "the brown note", they can't put it on vinyl? -(
	4:45am BadGuyZero: www.mogwai.co.uk
	4:46am P-90: @ Julie: You mean if the artist is female, there's a tendency to a sexist assumption that some male probably produced the record for her?
	4:46am BadGuyZero: BLERG! That link didn't post correctly.
	🦇 4:47am Julie: Yes, P-90.
	4:48am Guido from Cologne: The RIAA-curve means HEAVY Equalisation: - bass and heights off while cutting the matrix - the reverse way during every playback with your stylus In this process some heavy distortions might show up (distorted deep bass, distortsted S-consonants or hi-hat) Thus in the preperation such traps have to be smothed out. It's a craft that has to be done attentively. All in all it is heavy sound manipulation, though the averga listener is not aware. All the stuff about vinyl simply sounds "better" or "more natural" really does not make sense from the logical point of view.
	4:50am Matt from Springfield: Without the H.R. Puffenstuff lyric, this would sound a lot like a Kate song. @Elwyn: Rest assured, whoever discovers the "brown note" is going to send a massive email to play it out of all our computers ;)
	4:51am Matt from Springfield: Oh! "Music for Strippers, Hookers and the Odd On-Looker"..I remember this title, it's one of my faves! :)
	4:59am Rectitude: tHIS IS KINDA "gROWING on me
	🦇 5:01am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): See you all later!
	5:02am P-90: @ Guido: Yes, of course digital and analog records are eq'd differently. But the issue with digital mostly concerns the loss of some kinds of sonic "information" in digital that are retained on vinyl. And sampling rate: Neil Young famously wrote a letter to Guitar Player magazine in may 1993 called "Digital is a Rip-Off" in which he made a strong argument that the industry rushed to "lock-in" the standard rate too quickly, instead of waiting for denser sampling to become practical. He's since participated in the development of an improved digital recording system...
	5:04am P-90: And @ Matt: I just hope that whoever finally delivers that "brown note" washes their hands thoroughly afterward.
	5:07am Matt from Springfield: @P-90: Indeed. I didn't consider how messy research can be...
	🦇 5:13am Julie: as you can see next week's show is gonna be kinda spacey
	5:14am Matt from Springfield: Wow, this is a twisted synth sound! Glad you got them for the show.
	🦇 5:16am Julie: I'll tell you Matt, the bands I had in this weekend, 3 very different acts. Yay for freeform!
	5:17am Rectitude yay: YaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaY
	5:19am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Wow, did bands get to meet other, or was there no overlap in recording times?
	🦇 5:20am Julie: Nope, friday, saturday, sunday. Someone from the 3rd band was supposed to be at KY's show tonight, but I didn't see her. I'm not insane enough to do two in one day :)
	🦇 5:20am Julie: But I should buy stock in Milanos.
	5:21am BadGuyZero: This Beat Happening cover by Cosmetics is available for free download on their Bandcamp page! cosmeticscosmeticscosmetics.bandcamp.com...
	🦇 5:21am Julie: I really like these guys, I put the record on and I was like WOW
	5:22am BadGuyZero: I bought some Chewy Chips Ahoy that had caramel and pretzel in them. I think there's crack in there too 'cause I'm now a fiend for those cookies.
	5:23am Guido from Cologne: Sampling rates on CDs are relatively low. And those on effect units from 80ies were extremely low. If you do digital multi-track production, this is an issue. Today productions are done with higher sampling rates. I dare to say, you have more signal loss via the signal-noise ratio and the physical limitations of the vinyl (such as extremely low basses and extremely high heights) than with sampling rates limitations of the red book CD standard. ... just came in mind: I heaven't mentioned the dynamics, signal-noise-ratio thing ... which leds to a need for compression ... even on classic music productins. Those good old analog compression machines were extremely expensive and are hard to simulate. They often are preceived as "pleasant", "full" or "warm". I suspect the all-over manipulation (EQing and Compression) pruoduces a certain loss of transparence and an increase of denity in sound, which is preceived "pleasant" . And of course listening to "classic 70ies rock albums" which had been produced for vinyl: when simply put to CD, the result can be shocking. Neil Young said? Well.... he said ... I have been discussing with mastering engineers, who personally are into the craft.
	5:24am Matt from Springfield: @BGZ: That's just wrong...but how can it be wrong, when it feels so right??
	5:24am BadGuyZero: I had never heard of Cosmetics prior to Record Store Day. I was looking at leftovers available online and kept seeing their RSD record. So I checked them out and really dig what they're doing.
	🦇 5:25am Julie: What's on their RSD record?
	🦇 5:26am Julie: the 12" surely caught my eye in the new bin
	5:27am BadGuyZero: I think it's alternate and/or demo versions of the songs on that album. I'll see if I can find some info.
	5:27am Rectitude: Groove
	5:27am Guido from Cologne: ... one last word: I used to hate CDs , simply for the overall cheesy product aesthetics. ... and I'm a confessing Fiona Apple fan. ;-)
	5:28am Matt from Springfield: Is THIS all there is?! :D
	5:29am BadGuyZero: COSMETICS OLYMPIA...PLUS (LP) Record Store Day 2014 Release. Cosmetics bring you lost mixes from the Tuff Trax vault. In April 2011 the band went to Dub Narcotic studio in Olympia, Washington to mix what was supposed to be songs for their first album. At the studio with technician, the band were able to try some weird techniques.
	🦇 5:30am Julie: ah that's what this one is actually
	5:30am Rectitude: this is great
	🦇 5:32am Julie: good thing as it is the "long version"
	5:32am Matt from Springfield: Let's bring out the 'LUDES!
	5:32am BadGuyZero: I subscribed to a bunch of streaming services to listen to Cosmetics. They make more if I listen to them on Spotify versus my buying one of their records. </sarcasm>
	🦇 5:32am Julie: Oh yes of course :)
	5:34am Matt from Springfield: TG!
	5:35am Dave B: I kinda miss 'ludes
	5:36am P-90: @ Julie: You mean bands consume a lot of Milanos?
	🦇 5:37am Julie: I had to find a Sasha song! This seems to be the best thing she's done. @P-90, it's what I always buy among the snacks. They're always a hit.
	5:38am Matt from Springfield: @Dave B: Never experienced them myself. There are forums like BlueLight where the feeling is discussed and the best equivalent drug for that effect.
	5:38am P-90: @Dave B.: 'Ludes definitely had their place in the world...
	5:40am Rectitude saw wolf wall street: SaW it in a movie, that's all i knOW
	5:41am Guido from Cologne: @P-90 Sorry: I didn't treat the neil Young quotation right. Just re -read that. Of course it could have been better if there was more patience from the industry.
	5:42am Dave B: Good morning!
	5:44am Matt from Springfield: Oh yeah: morning Dave!
	5:44am Meghan: stupid phone wouldn't let me comment! That Christina Song sounded like Julie Brown..... and damn it I missed half that Smiths song coming in the building!
	5:46am Matt from Springfield: Ride a white swan! Morning Meghan!
	5:47am Matt from Springfield: Speaking of flying on white swans, I'm flying out today to New Orleans! My cousin lives there now, and I'm going to see him and the Jazz & Heritage Festival. First time there, I'm expecting fun!
	5:51am Meghan: Ohhhhhh LOVE LOVE LOVE New Orleans!
	5:52am Matt from Springfield: I'll toast a drink and po boy/banh mi/muffuletta to you Meghan! ;)
	5:54am Meghan: Make sure you get out to do other things than the usual Bourbon St.(which I only lasted about 5 minutes on....). Three Muses on Frenchmen St is great and so is Cochon.....
	🦇 5:54am Julie: Thanks for listening guys! Zombie Zombie next week! Put on your spacesuits
	5:56am Matt from Springfield: Little Willy!! Thanks for the recs, Meghan! I'm adding that to my existing list of good recs.
	5:56am Guido from Cologne: Thank you for the great show and the wonderful live set Julie! My apologies for overdoing it with the technical details here. I will be a nice guy again next time. ;-)
	5:56am Matt from Springfield: Thanks Julie for a great show! Suiting up and preparing to get Lost In Space next week! Have a great Thursday, everyone!
	5:59am Matt from Springfield: Glockabelle! C'est bon!
	12:15pm Van in DC: Whoa, Kristeen in the house? Fantastic!
	4:18pm Van in DC: Man, just finished the Kristeen sets. I'm SO behind.
	12:30pm Van in DC: There. I did it. I finished this episode finally.
