Listener comments!
	👻 3:06pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Happy 90th birthday to Harry Dean Stanton... That's gotta count for something, no?
	3:06pm Cheri Pi: HEY
	👻 3:07pm mrdonutsu: Who you calling a HO?
	3:07pm V Priceless: Hey Fabio!
	3:08pm Polyus: I just heard the old Kendra Smith cover of this for the first time recently, really good.
	3:09pm V Priceless: sure, Rev....Happy Birthday to Harry Dean Stanton, Tin Machine fan!
	3:10pm fred: I like rain. I like snow better though
	3:10pm Bill F.: Happy birthday HDS! https://youtu.be/LtLXIMA69ls?t=1m15s
	3:12pm Teresa T.: Hi Fabio. I love STF. Thurs. is a perfect day on WFMU for me.
	3:13pm Carmichael: Hello, fellow babies.
	3:14pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Fabio, and high strength achievers.
	3:15pm Wild Neil: PEACE Fabio et al....if this is the Free Jazz Can I heard of, I think this song might be a WILD RIDE...or not? A failure?
	3:19pm Wild Neil: Where is Jimi Hendrix in the playlist?
	👻 3:19pm Ken From Hyde Park: Welcome, Jimi "Failure" Hendrix!
	3:20pm Sem Chumbo: hahaKfHP:-D
	3:21pm P-90: Ciao Fabio and Failuristas. Is Harry Dean really 90? Still working too. Bravo!
	3:22pm Dean: So sorry Hendrix didn't live to collaborate with Hans Reichel.
	👻 3:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Also, apparently Obama is doing a town-hall thingie around the corner from the apartment. Missus says the helicopters are up & snipers on the roof across the street. Fun-fun.
	3:30pm βrian: Harry Dean is 90?? Wow. Hard to believe.
	3:33pm βrian: I once worked in a restaurant that played Django Reinhardt over and over. I've never fully recovered.
	👻 3:33pm mrdonutsu: I love hearing the severe weather alerts for the Tri-State Area. Fundamental part of the WFMU online listening experience.
	3:34pm Carmichael: I love Django but, like anything, repetition leads to frustration.
	3:34pm fred: Nothing says down-home friendliness like snipers and helicopters. Why bother?
	3:34pm Cecile: I like the people who take Django's stuff to weird places instead of aping it.
	3:36pm Cecile: I LOVE YOU TOO, FABIO, you jerk.
	3:37pm βrian: Since it's 14 Juillet, I'm going to grab a bottle of Cornas and go sit in the garden.
	3:37pm Wild Neil: I LOVE this time of year. Eating and drinking outside is awesome!
	3:38pm fred: @Cecile: did your husband's folks know any of the people from that box set?
	3:39pm Dean: There was a time in the '90s, perhaps, when it seemed like every trendy restaurant was playing Cesária Évora. Correction: "...every trendy restaurant I managed to visit," which wasn't a whole lot, but still, I can't listen to her records to this day.
	3:40pm Tommy: Best guitar solo in a Stones song ..thanks to Mick Taylor .
	3:40pm Cecile: We didn't even try to show it to them. Their minds were elsewhere, and as of June and my mother in law's stroke, they're not even going to be interested. But my friend who is 32/32 Finnish is thrilled, bought it and has been turning all her friends on to it in Duluth Dale, that's a big reason why I can't listen to Kind of Blue anymore.
	3:40pm nic: yuck
	3:40pm Tommy: Dean...I know , right !
	3:41pm Cecile: I should try showing it to them again though. At least my father in law or my stepmom.
	3:41pm Dean: I don't listen to Kind of Blue, because I think Somethin' Else is better.
	3:43pm βrian: I saw Cesária Évora in Ann Arbor. She smoked onstage during the entire performance. Rather odd.
	3:44pm Dean: That was Nicky Hopkins on the keys, right? In the Stones tune? Anybody have an opinion of this solo album? https://www.discogs.com/Nicky-Hopkins-No-More-Changes/master/721379
	3:45pm fred: I'm sorry to hear she had a stroke. These are tough, you never know how it will turn out
	3:46pm flashbazbo: Perter green?
	3:46pm Chris from DC: Liking this Peter Green a lot.
	3:46pm βrian: Don't think of this: "You're Having My Baby," by Paul Anka ...
	3:46pm Dean: Yeah, you know, from the original Fleertwoord Marc?
	3:47pm flashbazbo: Perfect model of a Keith Bg Voc too
	3:48pm Cecile: fred, thank you. Actually, I think she could handle a stroke, but she has a lot of pre-existing conditions and it doesn't look so great.
	3:49pm Polyus: I like the cover of that Peter Green LP, even though it's really kind of silly. Maybe that's why.
	3:52pm Wild Neil: I hear Van Halen taps in this...
	3:53pm Goatpuncher: Extremely dark clouds have rolled into downtown Newark. Woo hoo!
	3:54pm fred: @Cecile: Make sure you make the best of it while she's around. I lost my mother recently, there's no second chance
	3:56pm Chris from DC: Mandatory office celebration time...
	3:58pm Wild Neil: @Fred-so sorry for your loss! @Cecile-we live fourteen hour car drive away from my mom so we go down fourth of july and again on labor day (cannot afford to fly...) to see my 89 year old mom who is basically chair bound (although she CAN walk to the bathroom when she HAS TO)......I lost my dad in 2003...it took me two years to get over it....
	👻 4:01pm mrdonutsu: @Cecile 32/32 Finnish ?!?! I'm only 16/32 and that's more than enough for most people... And Duluth, of course...
	👻 4:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sometimes, I like to spend internet time watching the Duluth harbor cams.
	4:09pm Goatpuncher: Raining buckets now. Poor visibility. Glad to be inside.
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Terror-copters overhead again; assuming that means the prez is done. So, creepy skies of a different type down here...
	4:13pm Mark R: That was George Benson actually
	4:13pm Mark R: "The Other Side of Abbey Road"
	4:14pm Mark R: I was looking out my window about 5 minutes ago and watched that storm move right across the Hudson, it was amazing.
	4:14pm Carmichael: Some local DJ here used to call them Fleetfoot Mike. I gather he did not enjoy their re-made selves.
	4:17pm Goatpuncher: Holy shmow, that didn't last long. Rain done; sun coming out.
	4:17pm Wild Neil: FABIO_Thanks for Gabor Szabo...again, the wide wide wide world of Jazz! AMAZING!
	4:18pm Mark R: I've grown to be more tolerant of the later line-up, but the original Fleetwood Mac still destroys me, especially some live shows I've heard. Not just Peter Green, but Jeremy Spencer's slide was amazing, too.
	4:18pm Marcel M: Yo!
	4:19pm Marcel M: Peter Green era is amazing. Like right after the straight up blues stuff, when they starred getting interesting.
	4:20pm Mark R: He had a wicked tone--I'm sure guitar players could explain what guitar he used and what settings and everything, but it had a groovy, liquidy, echoey sound, really beautiful.
	4:23pm Marcel M: Well, he used one of the most legendary guitars ever. It was a 59 Les Paul. In and of itself very valuable. But his has become legendary. Kirk Hammett bought it recently! After Gary Moore had it.
	4:24pm Marcel M: It was out of phase in the middle position, which he used sometimes, and it created a kind of eerie sound. Thats a fairly common trick now, but the word is, that back then, he dropped off the pickup to be repaired, and they put the magnet in the wrong way without realizing it.
	4:25pm Mark R: Wow great Marcel, glad I asked. Whatever it was, it worked, didn't it?
	4:26pm Marcel M: Indeed!
	4:27pm Mark R: Bjorn Fongaard is spooky as shit, I love it! Remember to play this one for us on Halloween, Fabio. You know, instead of "The Monster Mash."
	4:29pm geezerette: Sounds like the Northern Lights look.
	4:30pm nic: great
	4:30pm flashbazbo: Love the bob Welch Danny Kirwan era
	4:30pm Mark R: i know what you mean geezerette
	4:32pm geezerette: Mark R: Thanks. :)
	👻 4:36pm mrdonutsu: That's not the 59 Les Paul Ronnie Montrose bought from J. Geils - and then got stolen - and then may (or may not) have wound up in Gary Moore's hands?
	👻 4:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: DIGGING.
	4:40pm Marcel M: @mrdonutsu: No, not the Montrose Burst. Its called, "greeny."
	4:41pm Marcel M: Here's a photo of it: www.vintageandrare.com...
	4:42pm Marcel M: Peter Green sold it to Gary more for a really low sum. After he kind of lost it he wanted him to have it but Gary felt weird taking it for nothing. Later on, a few guys got Peter a new Burst, and he ended up giving it away to a guy in his elevator building. It was later recovered in a pawn shop.
	4:42pm Cecile: donutsu, she was born here, but her family lineage is all Finnish.
	4:46pm P=90: No, @mrdonutsu, that's a different "collectible" Les Paul- but mainly because of the history of who it has belonged to, not some unique sonic quality of the instrument. And Peter Green's Les Paul was likewise not such an extraordinary instrument. It was Peter Green's style, bot the guitar. He would have sounded great on any Les Paul, or any guitar he chose.
	4:47pm nic: great
	👻 4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: DIGGING MORE NOW THAN DUG THEN.
	4:48pm Marcel M: I wasn't trying to imply the guitar made Peter magical. Just explaining the out of phase thing. Which back then was not a common trick.
	👻 4:52pm Bas NL: Swarm for Tithonus.. sounded good Fabio. I've seen Ankersmit live only once but a very memorable live act.
	4:52pm fred: Is Fabio doing this on purpose? I think he is. Clicks while people are going on about magnet placement. This isn't coincidence, sheeple!
	👻 4:53pm mrdonutsu: It's very interesting - the relationship between the musician and the instrument - particularly with electric guitars. Its such a dude thing to fetishize the instrument (e.g. Paul Allen) and neglect that it was the musician and not the player who imbued the magic thereinto. But there certainly are uniquely magical combinations. While you can tear apart Jimmy Page for the blatant ripoff he pulled with White Summer / Black Mountain Side, for me there is pure genius in his choosing to then perform it on a $30 Danelectro.
	4:55pm Cecile: conch dunker
	4:56pm V Priceless: Cheney Sucker Blues!
	4:56pm JakeGould: Cork Stuffers Blues?
	4:56pm JakeGould: Clown Stalker Blues?
	4:57pm geezerette: Rooster Chupa Blues. The true Spinal Tap.
	4:58pm Cecile: those are the ones that are warm compared to her later work.
	4:59pm Cecile: I remember seeing an exhibit of early and late work, and saying aloud, what happened in the early 60s? There's such a change in tone at that time.
	4:59pm Cecile: the albert ayler stuff!
	5:00pm Linda Lee: better living through chemistry, imo, Cecile.
	5:00pm Linda Lee: i only miss living in nyc when i hear Fabio.
	5:01pm Cecile: actually, I looked at the brochure, and it was more like getting a divorce and being broke that probably explained the change in tone.
	5:02pm Linda Lee: that could do it too.
	5:02pm Cecile: or that's what I gleaned. chemicals might also be a big part.
	5:02pm Marcel M: Thats Greene AVE Fabio! ;-)
	5:03pm Linda Lee: fact is that amazing new pharmaceuticals were coming into wide distribution at that time. i don't thin we can downplay the impact on the public mind.
	5:04pm P-90: Just to clarify: Green's "Fleetwood Mac" Les Paul came back from a repair job with some small idiosyncrasies that made some slightly different sounds available. But there was really nothing so special about that guitar. Remember, Les Pauls were rare at that time, and English musicians coveted them and were fascinated by every one that came along. There's been this legend that Peter Green sounded so great partly because he used a particular guitar. He actually sounded great because he was a great musician. @Narcel: Also, the same shop that reversed the magnet on that neck pickup also rewound the coils with the "wrong" gauge of wire, which also made it sound just a bit different.
	5:04pm fred: Albert Ayler? That's so out there... I can't explain it to anyone, all I can do is play it and hope something clicks
	5:05pm Goatpuncher: Another thing tonight, at least acc. to the Nonsense NYC list: "Sonic Arts is a presentation of sound works and performances in two to eight channels by established and emerging sound practitioners in New York. Up to eight channels means we have a circle of speakers and the audience will sit in the middle, surrounded by sound. Free." Halyards, 406 3rd Ave. at 6th St., Bklyn
	5:05pm Cecile: I think if you start with albums where he plays spirituals, that's a good way to get into him.
	5:07pm Linda Lee: i have a real weakness for recordings that sound like they're from musty reel-to-reels. probably because i played with musty reel-to-reels as a child.
	5:09pm P-90: @Linda: Musty reel-to-reels sound so warm and organic compared to contemporary digitized stuff.
	5:11pm Linda Lee: agree. but that seems curmudgeonly ..
	5:12pm Linda Lee: really love the new fx that add that authentic-seeming mustiness to digital signals. it's amusing.
	5:13pm P-90: "Simulated mustiness"!
	5:14pm geezerette: Ike, "emerging sound practitioners". So funny, "musicians" not sufficient?
	5:14pm Linda Lee: right. :-D
	5:15pm Linda Lee: geezerette, not always the same thing :-)
	5:17pm geezerette: Hey Linda Lee & Cecile. :) I know what you mean but it sounds like a linguistic doily to me.
	5:17pm Marcel M: Just made a double whisky sour. Ahhhh.
	5:18pm Linda Lee: weren't we talking about linguistic doilies last week for Dusty? :-D
	5:18pm Marcel M: ProTools has come a long long way in the last, say, 10 years or so. Its actually pretty hard to tell the difference now-a-days in a lot of cases.
	5:19pm geezerette: Haha,think so. Bound to come up again.
	👻 5:21pm Bas NL: I was thinking of a stage filled with crying babies, when reading 'emerging sound practitioners'...
	5:21pm Linda Lee: not if i keep avoiding political discourse for my birthday month. i feel much better.
	5:21pm geezerette: ( quote cliche alert) A rose is a rose is a rose.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: Marcel ~ any reason to bother with the difference?
	5:22pm coelacanth: Marcel is it happy hour(s) already? ...hi Fabio and comrades in failure
	5:23pm Linda Lee: ciao coelacanth! now where's my kratom?
	5:23pm Marcel M: @Coel: In my apartment it is!
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This set kicks universal mega-ass.
	5:25pm coelacanth: LL i want to try that!
	5:25pm Linda Lee: you should. it's quite amazing.
	5:30pm coelacanth: hmm. i think it's still crappy hour over here. it's stopped raining and lots of work to do outside.
	5:30pm Linda Lee: where are you?
	5:31pm Linda Lee: do you listen via radio waves? :-)
	5:32pm coelacanth: i'm in connecticut. and when i'm up by you i do...is it raining up there?
	5:33pm Linda Lee: finished pouring .. sun is out .. everything glistening. it's lovely.
	5:33pm Linda Lee: still a bit windy. we were looking for potential tornado action. not sure it came to be.
	5:34pm Cecile: Sasha has quite refined aesthetic tastes.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Summah thunder just reached mid-West NewHampshuh...
	5:39pm coelacanth: sun's coming back here and it's beautiful; but i got exhausted working all day in the thick air. for a while it was thundering gently and flickering as i was walking back & forth across a field carrying mulch. i figured i was taking a slight chance. then it started raining and within a few minutes of going inside lightning struck something extremely close - like the house itself. - twice. 'pretty amazing. ...the teenager upstairs screamed!
	5:39pm Linda Lee: wow. high drama!
	5:40pm Linda Lee: must say, one thing kratom can help with is mulching :-D
	5:42pm coelacanth: where to get kratom? (i need help with mulching)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: not sure i can plug a business on the comments board .. :-)
	5:43pm Linda Lee: there's a good supplier in grass valley ca.
	5:44pm Linda Lee: a good vendor is key.
	5:45pm coelacanth: that's okay. i positively know someone who knows. i just need to find out who it is!
	5:46pm Linda Lee: are you on facebook by any chance?
	5:47pm Mister Dobalina: You're playing some really cool sounds, btw.
	5:48pm Owlex: you can get good kratom from www.gardensoftheancients.com they ship to all 50 states and even sell amanitas
	5:49pm Owlex: they're based in texas, i've been going to them for years
	5:49pm Marcel M: Its def ok to link a mulch supplier on the boards haha. Ken wont mind.
	5:50pm Marcel M: There aren't any WFMU brand land landscape supplies... YET...
	5:50pm Linda Lee: owlex, are they selling the dried leaf?
	5:50pm Marcel M: This song is making me maudlin.
	5:51pm Cecile: If Nick Drake was a gamer, the album title would be Five Lives Left.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Read Ian MacDonald's 'Exiled from Heaven' about Nick Drake : docslide.us...
	5:51pm Linda Lee: i'd def go for the leaf as a newbie.
	5:52pm the Canterbury wood-elf: This Nick Drake goes nicely with my Thursday evening melancholy. Thanks Fabio!
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'd like to think Nick Drake would despise games as much as I do.
	5:52pm Julie: Fabio, that Nick Drake really hit the spot.
	5:54pm Mister Dobalina: Will be doing some research on this kratom, thanks guys.
	5:54pm Owlex: linda yeah leave and liquid extracts
	5:54pm Cecile: come on, it was a joke.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: be sure your vendor is reputable, Mister D. lots of weird crap out there called 'kratom'.
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Watch 'A Skin Too Few' about Nick Drake: www.youtube.com...
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd like to think Nick Drake would appreciate a joke as much as I do...
	5:57pm Marcel M: Hahaha.. ah man you guys crack me up together!
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...probably not enuff...)
	5:57pm nic: bye
	5:57pm joe mulligan: Fabio and Clay are better than Waldorf and Statler on mushrooms
	5:57pm Julie: i want more german star trek
	5:58pm Carmichael: Better than Ferrante and Teicher on peyote.
	5:58pm melinda: I love Fabio & Clay together.
	5:58pm Cecile: those soaps all made me break out, but every mechanic I knew swore by Lava.
	5:58pm coelacanth: it's beautiful outside now. it's less humid and it's sunny and wet. i don't see any trees down. it might've hit the 8' tall metal bird feeder that i moved to a more open spot earlier.
	5:59pm geezerette: Pumices,pumices.
	5:59pm V Priceless: Hey Focus is on that cruise!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: glad all's well. even if lightning hits 100 yards off, it seems like it hits the house!
	5:59pm Polyus: I used Lava once on an aunt's recommendation, as I had really bad acne at 13. Agonizing experience. Don't wash your face with Lava.
	6:00pm coelacanth: ride captain, ride, Fabio!

	3:20pm Sem Chumbo: hahaKfHP:-D

	3:22pm Dean: So sorry Hendrix didn't live to collaborate with Hans Reichel.
	👻 3:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Also, apparently Obama is doing a town-hall thingie around the corner from the apartment. Missus says the helicopters are up & snipers on the roof across the street. Fun-fun.

	3:40pm nic: yuck
	3:40pm Tommy: Dean...I know , right !
	3:41pm Cecile: I should try showing it to them again though. At least my father in law or my stepmom.
	3:41pm Dean: I don't listen to Kind of Blue, because I think Somethin' Else is better.
	3:43pm βrian: I saw Cesária Évora in Ann Arbor. She smoked onstage during the entire performance. Rather odd.
	3:44pm Dean: That was Nicky Hopkins on the keys, right? In the Stones tune? Anybody have an opinion of this solo album? https://www.discogs.com/Nicky-Hopkins-No-More-Changes/master/721379
	3:45pm fred: I'm sorry to hear she had a stroke. These are tough, you never know how it will turn out
	3:46pm flashbazbo: Perter green?
	3:46pm Chris from DC: Liking this Peter Green a lot.
	3:46pm βrian: Don't think of this: "You're Having My Baby," by Paul Anka ...
	3:46pm Dean: Yeah, you know, from the original Fleertwoord Marc?
	3:47pm flashbazbo: Perfect model of a Keith Bg Voc too
	3:48pm Cecile: fred, thank you. Actually, I think she could handle a stroke, but she has a lot of pre-existing conditions and it doesn't look so great.
	3:49pm Polyus: I like the cover of that Peter Green LP, even though it's really kind of silly. Maybe that's why.
	3:52pm Wild Neil: I hear Van Halen taps in this...
	3:53pm Goatpuncher: Extremely dark clouds have rolled into downtown Newark. Woo hoo!
	3:54pm fred: @Cecile: Make sure you make the best of it while she's around. I lost my mother recently, there's no second chance
	3:56pm Chris from DC: Mandatory office celebration time...
	3:58pm Wild Neil: @Fred-so sorry for your loss! @Cecile-we live fourteen hour car drive away from my mom so we go down fourth of july and again on labor day (cannot afford to fly...) to see my 89 year old mom who is basically chair bound (although she CAN walk to the bathroom when she HAS TO)......I lost my dad in 2003...it took me two years to get over it....
	👻 4:01pm mrdonutsu: @Cecile 32/32 Finnish ?!?! I'm only 16/32 and that's more than enough for most people... And Duluth, of course...
	👻 4:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sometimes, I like to spend internet time watching the Duluth harbor cams.
	4:09pm Goatpuncher: Raining buckets now. Poor visibility. Glad to be inside.
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Terror-copters overhead again; assuming that means the prez is done. So, creepy skies of a different type down here...
	4:13pm Mark R: That was George Benson actually
	4:13pm Mark R: "The Other Side of Abbey Road"
	4:14pm Mark R: I was looking out my window about 5 minutes ago and watched that storm move right across the Hudson, it was amazing.
	4:14pm Carmichael: Some local DJ here used to call them Fleetfoot Mike. I gather he did not enjoy their re-made selves.
	4:17pm Goatpuncher: Holy shmow, that didn't last long. Rain done; sun coming out.
	4:17pm Wild Neil: FABIO_Thanks for Gabor Szabo...again, the wide wide wide world of Jazz! AMAZING!
	4:18pm Mark R: I've grown to be more tolerant of the later line-up, but the original Fleetwood Mac still destroys me, especially some live shows I've heard. Not just Peter Green, but Jeremy Spencer's slide was amazing, too.
	4:18pm Marcel M: Yo!
	4:19pm Marcel M: Peter Green era is amazing. Like right after the straight up blues stuff, when they starred getting interesting.
	4:20pm Mark R: He had a wicked tone--I'm sure guitar players could explain what guitar he used and what settings and everything, but it had a groovy, liquidy, echoey sound, really beautiful.
	4:23pm Marcel M: Well, he used one of the most legendary guitars ever. It was a 59 Les Paul. In and of itself very valuable. But his has become legendary. Kirk Hammett bought it recently! After Gary Moore had it.
	4:24pm Marcel M: It was out of phase in the middle position, which he used sometimes, and it created a kind of eerie sound. Thats a fairly common trick now, but the word is, that back then, he dropped off the pickup to be repaired, and they put the magnet in the wrong way without realizing it.
	4:25pm Mark R: Wow great Marcel, glad I asked. Whatever it was, it worked, didn't it?
	4:26pm Marcel M: Indeed!
	4:27pm Mark R: Bjorn Fongaard is spooky as shit, I love it! Remember to play this one for us on Halloween, Fabio. You know, instead of "The Monster Mash."
	4:29pm geezerette: Sounds like the Northern Lights look.
	4:30pm nic: great
	4:30pm flashbazbo: Love the bob Welch Danny Kirwan era
	4:30pm Mark R: i know what you mean geezerette
	4:32pm geezerette: Mark R: Thanks. :)
	👻 4:36pm mrdonutsu: That's not the 59 Les Paul Ronnie Montrose bought from J. Geils - and then got stolen - and then may (or may not) have wound up in Gary Moore's hands?
	👻 4:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: DIGGING.
	4:40pm Marcel M: @mrdonutsu: No, not the Montrose Burst. Its called, "greeny."
	4:41pm Marcel M: Here's a photo of it: www.vintageandrare.com...
	4:42pm Marcel M: Peter Green sold it to Gary more for a really low sum. After he kind of lost it he wanted him to have it but Gary felt weird taking it for nothing. Later on, a few guys got Peter a new Burst, and he ended up giving it away to a guy in his elevator building. It was later recovered in a pawn shop.
	4:42pm Cecile: donutsu, she was born here, but her family lineage is all Finnish.
	4:46pm P=90: No, @mrdonutsu, that's a different "collectible" Les Paul- but mainly because of the history of who it has belonged to, not some unique sonic quality of the instrument. And Peter Green's Les Paul was likewise not such an extraordinary instrument. It was Peter Green's style, bot the guitar. He would have sounded great on any Les Paul, or any guitar he chose.
	4:47pm nic: great
	👻 4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: DIGGING MORE NOW THAN DUG THEN.
	4:48pm Marcel M: I wasn't trying to imply the guitar made Peter magical. Just explaining the out of phase thing. Which back then was not a common trick.
	👻 4:52pm Bas NL: Swarm for Tithonus.. sounded good Fabio. I've seen Ankersmit live only once but a very memorable live act.
	4:52pm fred: Is Fabio doing this on purpose? I think he is. Clicks while people are going on about magnet placement. This isn't coincidence, sheeple!
	👻 4:53pm mrdonutsu: It's very interesting - the relationship between the musician and the instrument - particularly with electric guitars. Its such a dude thing to fetishize the instrument (e.g. Paul Allen) and neglect that it was the musician and not the player who imbued the magic thereinto. But there certainly are uniquely magical combinations. While you can tear apart Jimmy Page for the blatant ripoff he pulled with White Summer / Black Mountain Side, for me there is pure genius in his choosing to then perform it on a $30 Danelectro.
	4:55pm Cecile: conch dunker
	4:56pm V Priceless: Cheney Sucker Blues!
	4:56pm JakeGould: Cork Stuffers Blues?
	4:56pm JakeGould: Clown Stalker Blues?
	4:57pm geezerette: Rooster Chupa Blues. The true Spinal Tap.
	4:58pm Cecile: those are the ones that are warm compared to her later work.
	4:59pm Cecile: I remember seeing an exhibit of early and late work, and saying aloud, what happened in the early 60s? There's such a change in tone at that time.
	4:59pm Cecile: the albert ayler stuff!
	5:00pm Linda Lee: better living through chemistry, imo, Cecile.
	5:00pm Linda Lee: i only miss living in nyc when i hear Fabio.
	5:01pm Cecile: actually, I looked at the brochure, and it was more like getting a divorce and being broke that probably explained the change in tone.
	5:02pm Linda Lee: that could do it too.
	5:02pm Cecile: or that's what I gleaned. chemicals might also be a big part.
	5:02pm Marcel M: Thats Greene AVE Fabio! ;-)
	5:03pm Linda Lee: fact is that amazing new pharmaceuticals were coming into wide distribution at that time. i don't thin we can downplay the impact on the public mind.
	5:04pm P-90: Just to clarify: Green's "Fleetwood Mac" Les Paul came back from a repair job with some small idiosyncrasies that made some slightly different sounds available. But there was really nothing so special about that guitar. Remember, Les Pauls were rare at that time, and English musicians coveted them and were fascinated by every one that came along. There's been this legend that Peter Green sounded so great partly because he used a particular guitar. He actually sounded great because he was a great musician. @Narcel: Also, the same shop that reversed the magnet on that neck pickup also rewound the coils with the "wrong" gauge of wire, which also made it sound just a bit different.
	5:04pm fred: Albert Ayler? That's so out there... I can't explain it to anyone, all I can do is play it and hope something clicks
	5:05pm Goatpuncher: Another thing tonight, at least acc. to the Nonsense NYC list: "Sonic Arts is a presentation of sound works and performances in two to eight channels by established and emerging sound practitioners in New York. Up to eight channels means we have a circle of speakers and the audience will sit in the middle, surrounded by sound. Free." Halyards, 406 3rd Ave. at 6th St., Bklyn
	5:05pm Cecile: I think if you start with albums where he plays spirituals, that's a good way to get into him.
	5:07pm Linda Lee: i have a real weakness for recordings that sound like they're from musty reel-to-reels. probably because i played with musty reel-to-reels as a child.
	5:09pm P-90: @Linda: Musty reel-to-reels sound so warm and organic compared to contemporary digitized stuff.
	5:11pm Linda Lee: agree. but that seems curmudgeonly ..
	5:12pm Linda Lee: really love the new fx that add that authentic-seeming mustiness to digital signals. it's amusing.
	5:13pm P-90: "Simulated mustiness"!
	5:14pm geezerette: Ike, "emerging sound practitioners". So funny, "musicians" not sufficient?
	5:14pm Linda Lee: right. :-D
	5:15pm Linda Lee: geezerette, not always the same thing :-)
	5:17pm geezerette: Hey Linda Lee & Cecile. :) I know what you mean but it sounds like a linguistic doily to me.
	5:17pm Marcel M: Just made a double whisky sour. Ahhhh.
	5:18pm Linda Lee: weren't we talking about linguistic doilies last week for Dusty? :-D
	5:18pm Marcel M: ProTools has come a long long way in the last, say, 10 years or so. Its actually pretty hard to tell the difference now-a-days in a lot of cases.
	5:19pm geezerette: Haha,think so. Bound to come up again.
	👻 5:21pm Bas NL: I was thinking of a stage filled with crying babies, when reading 'emerging sound practitioners'...
	5:21pm Linda Lee: not if i keep avoiding political discourse for my birthday month. i feel much better.
	5:21pm geezerette: ( quote cliche alert) A rose is a rose is a rose.
	5:22pm Linda Lee: Marcel ~ any reason to bother with the difference?
	5:22pm coelacanth: Marcel is it happy hour(s) already? ...hi Fabio and comrades in failure
	5:23pm Linda Lee: ciao coelacanth! now where's my kratom?
	5:23pm Marcel M: @Coel: In my apartment it is!
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This set kicks universal mega-ass.
	5:25pm coelacanth: LL i want to try that!
	5:25pm Linda Lee: you should. it's quite amazing.
	5:30pm coelacanth: hmm. i think it's still crappy hour over here. it's stopped raining and lots of work to do outside.
	5:30pm Linda Lee: where are you?
	5:31pm Linda Lee: do you listen via radio waves? :-)
	5:32pm coelacanth: i'm in connecticut. and when i'm up by you i do...is it raining up there?
	5:33pm Linda Lee: finished pouring .. sun is out .. everything glistening. it's lovely.
	5:33pm Linda Lee: still a bit windy. we were looking for potential tornado action. not sure it came to be.
	5:34pm Cecile: Sasha has quite refined aesthetic tastes.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Summah thunder just reached mid-West NewHampshuh...
	5:39pm coelacanth: sun's coming back here and it's beautiful; but i got exhausted working all day in the thick air. for a while it was thundering gently and flickering as i was walking back & forth across a field carrying mulch. i figured i was taking a slight chance. then it started raining and within a few minutes of going inside lightning struck something extremely close - like the house itself. - twice. 'pretty amazing. ...the teenager upstairs screamed!
	5:39pm Linda Lee: wow. high drama!
	5:40pm Linda Lee: must say, one thing kratom can help with is mulching :-D
	5:42pm coelacanth: where to get kratom? (i need help with mulching)
	5:42pm Linda Lee: not sure i can plug a business on the comments board .. :-)
	5:43pm Linda Lee: there's a good supplier in grass valley ca.
	5:44pm Linda Lee: a good vendor is key.
	5:45pm coelacanth: that's okay. i positively know someone who knows. i just need to find out who it is!
	5:46pm Linda Lee: are you on facebook by any chance?
	5:47pm Mister Dobalina: You're playing some really cool sounds, btw.
	5:48pm Owlex: you can get good kratom from www.gardensoftheancients.com they ship to all 50 states and even sell amanitas
	5:49pm Owlex: they're based in texas, i've been going to them for years
	5:49pm Marcel M: Its def ok to link a mulch supplier on the boards haha. Ken wont mind.
	5:50pm Marcel M: There aren't any WFMU brand land landscape supplies... YET...
	5:50pm Linda Lee: owlex, are they selling the dried leaf?
	5:50pm Marcel M: This song is making me maudlin.
	5:51pm Cecile: If Nick Drake was a gamer, the album title would be Five Lives Left.
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Read Ian MacDonald's 'Exiled from Heaven' about Nick Drake : docslide.us...
	5:51pm Linda Lee: i'd def go for the leaf as a newbie.
	5:52pm the Canterbury wood-elf: This Nick Drake goes nicely with my Thursday evening melancholy. Thanks Fabio!
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'd like to think Nick Drake would despise games as much as I do.
	5:52pm Julie: Fabio, that Nick Drake really hit the spot.
	5:54pm Mister Dobalina: Will be doing some research on this kratom, thanks guys.
	5:54pm Owlex: linda yeah leave and liquid extracts
	5:54pm Cecile: come on, it was a joke.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: be sure your vendor is reputable, Mister D. lots of weird crap out there called 'kratom'.
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Watch 'A Skin Too Few' about Nick Drake: www.youtube.com...
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd like to think Nick Drake would appreciate a joke as much as I do...
	5:57pm Marcel M: Hahaha.. ah man you guys crack me up together!
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...probably not enuff...)
	5:57pm nic: bye
	5:57pm joe mulligan: Fabio and Clay are better than Waldorf and Statler on mushrooms
	5:57pm Julie: i want more german star trek
	5:58pm Carmichael: Better than Ferrante and Teicher on peyote.
	5:58pm melinda: I love Fabio & Clay together.
	5:58pm Cecile: those soaps all made me break out, but every mechanic I knew swore by Lava.
	5:58pm coelacanth: it's beautiful outside now. it's less humid and it's sunny and wet. i don't see any trees down. it might've hit the 8' tall metal bird feeder that i moved to a more open spot earlier.
	5:59pm geezerette: Pumices,pumices.
	5:59pm V Priceless: Hey Focus is on that cruise!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: glad all's well. even if lightning hits 100 yards off, it seems like it hits the house!
	5:59pm Polyus: I used Lava once on an aunt's recommendation, as I had really bad acne at 13. Agonizing experience. Don't wash your face with Lava.
	6:00pm coelacanth: ride captain, ride, Fabio!
