	12:01am Matt from Springfield: Julie @midnight, following our own @midnight star! Hi Julie! Welcome back! :D
	12:01am Cliff: Hello again Julie!
	🦇 12:03am Ken From Hyde Park: The Birthday Massacre and today is my birthday. How fitting! Thanks!
	12:04am Matt from Springfield: HBD Ken HP! Another Aries, glad to see! :)
	12:08am Īke: (passes out cold)
	🦇 12:09am Julie: Heya folks! Happy Birthdays and massacres to all who enjoy them.
	🦇 12:10am Julie: someone poke ike
	12:12am Matt from Springfield: New Techno-Dance Olivia!
	🦇 12:17am Julie: Monday night dance party...moment
	12:18am JakeGould: Welcome Back Julie!
	12:18am C.S.: Just when I post flowers as my cover art on Facebook, winter says, "Not so fast." Either that or Julie has conjured up a storm to set the mood for her show.
	12:19am JakeGould: Also, this rebound into winter after one day of spring… I’m not feeling it. Screw this weather.
	12:19am Matt from Springfield: That's surprising, I'm amazed at how different the weather was in DC today compared to up there.
	12:20am P-90: Hi Julie! Tipped us off that you were filling in when you brought Dave cookies... @Ken FHP: Happy Birthday Dude!
	🦇 12:20am Julie: indeed...a cold burst of reality
	12:21am JakeGould: I also had to do jury duty today and the lawyer described the room we were in as windowless and Kafka-esque. So this weather… Screw it…
	12:23am coelacanth: greetings Julie and dark soul seekers
	12:24am coelacanth: i'm sorry everyone. i wished winter wasn't over.
	12:25am JakeGould: @coelacanth: You stink.
	12:25am Matt from Springfield: Montuesday Dance Party!
	🦇 12:26am Julie: coel -- are you sending snow?
	12:27am Cliff: Stop doing the snow dance coelacanth, please
	12:28am coelacanth: we've got several inches here, less than 100 miles north of you Julie. if you want, i'll do some more wishing...
	12:29am JakeGould: @coelacanth: Saturday was so nice. And now you have to mock us with this.
	12:30am Tome: feels just right now ..
	12:32am coelacanth: Jake it was nearly 80° here last week. that's not right either!
	🦇 12:33am Ken From Hyde Park: The good part of the snowy, freezing weather is that is staves off pollen allergies for a week or two.
	12:34am terribilia: that is true
	12:34am coelacanth: i'm actually unhappy about it, for the sake of flowers and fruit. a lot of it's pretty well fucked now.
	12:35am Matt from Springfield: I'm hoping for a warm, temperate spring here. Summer has been starting earlier in June and May, hot and humid. Spring might as well start early too then!
	12:37am Ice in Bklyn: That's poetry coel
	🦇 12:39am Julie: and birds baby birds
	12:39am JakeGould: Yeah. The fauna as well.
	12:40am Tome: .. don't miss the days ,, when like almost every day after ie ... memorial day was over 90 .. in brooklyn ,, honestly ,
	12:41am terribilia: such a good record
	12:43am coelacanth: true as well. i had already put a temporary fence around a bush where i saw a robin making a nest. i don't know if she laid yet.
	12:45am Matt from Springfield: New In Isolation!
	12:46am Danne D: Yay Julie Dark :) That's so nice of you to bring oreos for Dave :)
	🦇 12:46am Julie: well he said he was missing them! You spoiled him.
	12:48am Matt from Springfield: SU-ZI!! \m/
	12:54am Danne D: Have a great show Julie :) Off to sleepy time for me. Have a good night everyone!
	🦇 12:55am Julie: nite Danne!
	12:55am Matt from Springfield: See ya later Danne!
	12:55am Cliff: Goodnight Danne
	12:56am C.S.: Sweet winter dreams.
	1:00am Matt from Springfield: Huh, Vance DeGeneres.
	1:02am matt: This is the second time i've heard about vance degeneres' band in the past few hours
	1:03am Matt from Springfield: @matt: Really?! What're the odds!
	1:03am coelacanth: goodnight Danne
	1:06am Matt from Springfield: Yep, leaving the house and running around will screw up any diet.
	1:06am C.S.: The band Chalk and Numbers have a sweet indie In the Dark tune too,
	1:06am Cliff: I've been told I should try the caveman diet, or at least a low-carb one, to help with my sleep/fatigue issues.....I'm skeptical though
	🦇 1:11am Julie: whoa really? someone else was talking about Vance Degeneres? Weirdness
	1:24am Tome: nice one .. !!
	🦇 1:25am Julie: I do love me some Gabriel
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: Whoa! This is from the Rumours sessions?? I would have thought earlier '73-'75 material from Buck-Nicks or soon after joining FM!
	🦇 1:29am Julie: It says "early demos"
	1:31am Tome: bit.ly... . <<
	1:32am Matt from Springfield: Well, nice demo track! Nice demos and live tracks this block overall! Very "catalogue", very rich choices.
	1:39am C.S.: It's Hammer time. But not in the way most people think.
	1:44am Matt from Springfield: Dulcimer hammers too, perhaps on this track! (Or else harp strings).
	1:45am C.S.: :)
	🦇 1:45am Julie: It is harp
	1:45am C.S.: Reminds me of Jaggery a bit.
	1:46am C.S.: Lots of 2016 on this playlist. Thank you, Julie.
	1:48am JakeGould: I’d like to hammer her dulcimer. rimshot
	1:48am Matt from Springfield: Yes, thanks for all these new finds--as well as this one I've never heard before. Sounds like 80s British rock, love that name as well.
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: @Jake: What you won't do for a quick pluck!
	🦇 1:50am Julie: It's not true there's no good new music!
	1:51am C.S.: You just have to know where to look.
	1:51am JakeGould: There’s tons of good new music out there.
	1:52am Matt from Springfield: This station sure proves that point. And that there's good music from every year as well! Like I've said before: there are no "bad" years for music, though certain years are noticeably "thin" on good music.
	1:53am C.S.: The truth Matt from Springfield.
	🦇 1:53am Julie: hmmm tell me what a thin year is and I'll put a show together around it :D
	1:53am Ice in Brooklyn: I left for awhile How did I get On to the choirs It's Cold Outside It's Cleveland It's stiv bators
	1:55am Tommy Haynes: This show is the most important event of 2016 so far
	1:56am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: 1990! Is one year we've agreed on quite a few playlists! Though I counted at least "one hand's worth" of good releases :) The La's one and only The Church "Gold Afternoon Fix" Guided By Voices Cocteau Twins "Heaven or Las Vegas" His Name Is Alive (both 4AD) Bring in some others and I think you have a deal! :D
	2:02am Matt from Springfield: You'd be surprised if you did a "New Orleans audit" on the show - so much music has come from there ;)
	2:03am Matt from Springfield: Heh! Peter Gabriel w/ his old Genesis costumes, makeup and stage dives--wouldn't surprise me if his earlier art got in the way of recording a live track!
	2:06am Tome: More fool me ,, was Phil singing ...
	2:06am Clay Pigeon: Guns 'N Roses back together after twenty-three years. www.youtube.com...
	2:06am walkspot: Oh yeah!!!!
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: L. Cohen! :)
	🦇 2:09am Julie: Oh you're right, I think it IS Phil.. wow More Fool Me indeed
	2:12am Matt from Springfield: Evidently the film "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" features a cool, artistic use of this song.
	2:12am JakeGould: Lush: Gala (1990) Ride: First 3 EPs (1990) Other stuff as well.
	2:12am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: It's good Genesis when you can't tell if it's Peter or Phil--that was probably their best era, on both sides of the divide.
	2:13am Tome: yep originally on Selling England by the Pound
	2:15am Matt from Springfield: Ah, of course Lush. Thanks Jake! A lot of what I would call good includes a lot of dreampop releases from that year--perhaps Mazzy Star and others might also be from then. (Of course, the challenge w/ 1990 is to not fill the total with '89 or '91 songs, since there were so many good ones for those particular years).
	2:17am JakeGould: @Matt: The challenge for me this year is realizing that I talked to some folks about how great it was to see Lush and Ride live back then... And realizing these folks weren't even born then...
	2:19am Matt from Springfield: @Jake: Yep, the years are really stacking up. I was born then, though not much older.
	2:25am Matt from Springfield: New 2016? I could swear this is a tribute to 80s 4AD! Particularly names like "Mercury's Antennae" and "Ivy Tree Shore" :)
	🦇 2:27am Julie: they've got that ethereal projekt sound, that's been that way since the 80s
	2:30am Matt from Springfield: So it is! I see they have Black Tape, Mira and a bunch of other "darkwave, ambient, and shoegaze". Portland OR, since '83. I'm liking this sound!
	🦇 2:31am Julie: they're in portland now, they were in Brooklyn until a few years ago.
	🦇 2:32am Julie: they being Sam Rosenthal that is.
	2:44am Matt from Springfield: Mehr verruckte Computer-Sangen!
	2:45am Matt from Springfield: Beatles melody lift in a foreign language song! Drink! :)
	🦇 2:46am Julie: this particular song really works in German
	2:47am -> Ming the Merciless <-: Haha, that's maybe because it's German with a French accent! Greetings from Germany
	2:47am Matt from Springfield: En Allemand - Das Beste In Deutsch! France Gall goes from Gaul to Franks for this one... @Julie: I know what you mean. Anything computery/electronic works auf Deutsch, and there's an inherent silly streak in a lot of German pop "schlager" and drinking songs, so this goes well in that language!
	2:48am Matt from Springfield: Guten Morgen Ming!
	🦇 2:48am Julie: morning Ming!
	2:49am -> Ming the Merciless <-: Hello to y'all!
	2:52am Matt from Springfield: Good version of "Psycho Killer" by Lena Hill! Though when it first came up I thought it was saying by Lena Horne--now THAT'S a version I'd like to hear! ;)
	🦇 2:52am Julie: oh yeah that would be interesting eh
	🦇 2:53am Julie: I think I kinda want a whole album of Lena doing The Ramones. She did do an amazing live Life on Mars though
	2:55am Matt from Springfield: I oughta look for other all-female Ramones albums--not just females "redoing" the songs in the same style, but various groups re-imagining the Ramones as they would do it. There's prob some comps out there.
	2:56am Cliff: Awww, it's the end :( Thanks so much Julie!
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: And summer's (spring's? WINTER'S??) lease hath all too short a date! So glad you came in to fill in, Julie! We always enjoy these! :) Have a good night everyone!
	2:56am coelacanth: Thanks Julie 'night people.
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: G'night Cliff, coelacanth, Dark Knights!
	2:59am Matt from Springfield: And thanks much, Julie! ;)
	2:59am Cliff: Good night 3 a.m. listeners :)
	1:05pm Van in DC: Dark of the Night, indeed!
	1:46pm Matt from Springfield: Hey Van! Still on for Daughter @the 9:30 tomorrow? :)
	1:34pm Van in DC: Oh man, that Genesis - Fleetwood Mac - Moody Blues section was just what this afternoon needed. Thanks!
	12:16pm Van in DC: Wow, that Psycho Killer cover... that hit the spot!!
	1:13pm Van in DC: Daughter were amazing by the way. What a tremendous show from Remi, Igor, and most especially the incredible Elena! Really good to see you again Matt from Springfield!

	2:02am Matt from Springfield: You'd be surprised if you did a "New Orleans audit" on the show - so much music has come from there ;)
	2:03am Matt from Springfield: Heh! Peter Gabriel w/ his old Genesis costumes, makeup and stage dives--wouldn't surprise me if his earlier art got in the way of recording a live track!
	2:06am Tome: More fool me ,, was Phil singing ...
	2:06am Clay Pigeon: Guns 'N Roses back together after twenty-three years. www.youtube.com...
	2:06am walkspot: Oh yeah!!!!
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: L. Cohen! :)
	🦇 2:09am Julie: Oh you're right, I think it IS Phil.. wow More Fool Me indeed
	2:12am Matt from Springfield: Evidently the film "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" features a cool, artistic use of this song.
	2:12am JakeGould: Lush: Gala (1990) Ride: First 3 EPs (1990) Other stuff as well.
	2:12am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: It's good Genesis when you can't tell if it's Peter or Phil--that was probably their best era, on both sides of the divide.
	2:13am Tome: yep originally on Selling England by the Pound
	2:15am Matt from Springfield: Ah, of course Lush. Thanks Jake! A lot of what I would call good includes a lot of dreampop releases from that year--perhaps Mazzy Star and others might also be from then. (Of course, the challenge w/ 1990 is to not fill the total with '89 or '91 songs, since there were so many good ones for those particular years).
	2:17am JakeGould: @Matt: The challenge for me this year is realizing that I talked to some folks about how great it was to see Lush and Ride live back then... And realizing these folks weren't even born then...
	2:19am Matt from Springfield: @Jake: Yep, the years are really stacking up. I was born then, though not much older.
	2:25am Matt from Springfield: New 2016? I could swear this is a tribute to 80s 4AD! Particularly names like "Mercury's Antennae" and "Ivy Tree Shore" :)
	🦇 2:27am Julie: they've got that ethereal projekt sound, that's been that way since the 80s
	2:30am Matt from Springfield: So it is! I see they have Black Tape, Mira and a bunch of other "darkwave, ambient, and shoegaze". Portland OR, since '83. I'm liking this sound!
	🦇 2:31am Julie: they're in portland now, they were in Brooklyn until a few years ago.
	🦇 2:32am Julie: they being Sam Rosenthal that is.
	2:44am Matt from Springfield: Mehr verruckte Computer-Sangen!
	2:45am Matt from Springfield: Beatles melody lift in a foreign language song! Drink! :)
	🦇 2:46am Julie: this particular song really works in German
	2:47am -> Ming the Merciless <-: Haha, that's maybe because it's German with a French accent! Greetings from Germany
	2:47am Matt from Springfield: En Allemand - Das Beste In Deutsch! France Gall goes from Gaul to Franks for this one... @Julie: I know what you mean. Anything computery/electronic works auf Deutsch, and there's an inherent silly streak in a lot of German pop "schlager" and drinking songs, so this goes well in that language!
	2:48am Matt from Springfield: Guten Morgen Ming!
	🦇 2:48am Julie: morning Ming!
	2:49am -> Ming the Merciless <-: Hello to y'all!
	2:52am Matt from Springfield: Good version of "Psycho Killer" by Lena Hill! Though when it first came up I thought it was saying by Lena Horne--now THAT'S a version I'd like to hear! ;)
	🦇 2:52am Julie: oh yeah that would be interesting eh
	🦇 2:53am Julie: I think I kinda want a whole album of Lena doing The Ramones. She did do an amazing live Life on Mars though
	2:55am Matt from Springfield: I oughta look for other all-female Ramones albums--not just females "redoing" the songs in the same style, but various groups re-imagining the Ramones as they would do it. There's prob some comps out there.
	2:56am Cliff: Awww, it's the end :( Thanks so much Julie!
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: And summer's (spring's? WINTER'S??) lease hath all too short a date! So glad you came in to fill in, Julie! We always enjoy these! :) Have a good night everyone!
	2:56am coelacanth: Thanks Julie 'night people.
