	9:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Fists!
	9:06pm Sid: You don't have to take it.
	9:06pm ultradamno: I would have thought living in a country with a space force would be more futuristic.
	9:07pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Nate K, first time I've been able to tune in since the schedule change. Thanks for being here, keep bringing it.
	9:07pm Nate K.: Hi, gang. You'll have to excuse me as I recover from the beauty that is Elton John, from here on out known as "Matt's favorite blues singer," white or otherwise. Hahaha.
	9:08pm Nate K.: Hiya, Peter. Thanks for dropping by.
	9:10pm JakeGould: To be fair, Elton John is cool… Except for that song.
	9:10pm Sid: Except for his disco album.
	9:11pm TDK60: I turned it on and tuned it in.
	9:11pm mb: Hey all. Howdy DJ Nate K.
	9:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was thinking of that line "rolling like thunder under the covers" during the Pidge / Garbage Time crossover this morning.
	9:12pm slowbear: burnin it in los angeles
	9:13pm dez: well this is a fantastic adventure to find oneself on
	9:13pm Sid: "rolling like thunder under the covers" is a rather artistic description of gastric disturbance.
	9:14pm ultradamno: He was a Rock IT Man...by Shatner's enunciation.
	9:16pm Dr. Goot: That "Dance with the Devil" track shares a riff with this - www.dailymotion.com...
	9:16pm listener 126464: hmmm. Tuff Break Records
	9:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Exactly, Sid. Clay spent twenty minutes talking about butt gasses.
	9:17pm Nate K.: I like a few Elton John albums, just not that song. Nor do I think he's "blues singer." Natch.
	9:19pm ultradamno: I grew up with Crocodile Rock and Saturday Night's Alright...on the radio all the time. No complaints about that at all.
	9:21pm Peter from Dover NJ: @ Nate K and everyone. I respect Elton John, he had many great tunes. But if he sings the blues, there's a pink Maserati in my driveway
	9:21pm Sid: And "The Bitch Is Back."
	9:23pm Sid: "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" is as close to the blues as Elton ever got.
	9:28pm ultradamno: If you were wondering what harmonicas the Stones played twitter.com...
	9:28pm Nate K.: Elton is coming out of this discussion looking pretty good.
	9:29pm twinoak170: Good evening Nate and everyone!
	9:30pm Ken From Hyde Park: That's Sir Elton to you, buddy. :0
	9:30pm tak: chain chain chain
	9:31pm Fuzzy: I guess that's why they call it The Blues.
	9:33pm Sid: There's an undercurrent of snake-charmer going on in this Slum track.
	9:33pm McGreivey: This Trend song popped up elsewhere the other day, and I was initially confused, because the Trend that I know is from Syracuse.
	9:34pm twinoak170: Let’s not forget “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”.
	9:35pm twinoak170: Oh well!
	9:37pm Nate K.: @Twin Oak, that's the song that kicked started the whole thread. I think we can lock it now that it's come full circle.
	9:37pm listener 126464: saw dark thoughts at ap brewery a couple months ago courtesy night birds
	9:39pm listener 126464: they also played monty hall i think
	9:45pm Andal: NC in the house...Used to be sane before the GOP takeover. now a test case for the apocalypse.
	9:49pm ultradamno: Was Real Cool Guy their Two Tub Man?
	9:55pm Jinx: only saw The Chills once, when they opened for Belly. Radiohead also opened for Belly.
	9:55pm Steve in Sonoma: Love the Chills! Great track. I can’t get enough of those flying nun/New Zealand Bands! Thank you Nate! Haven’t heard that one in a while :)
	9:58pm Jinx: They're at the Bell House tonight (?). I'm in Va., outside the Tri-State area. Still time to make it, if you're on Brooklyn!
	10:00pm Steve in Sonoma: No way! That’s awesome. I’m out west but there in spirit.
	10:05pm ultradamno: Hey I like the Foghat send-up on your premium cover.
	10:08pm Nate K.: @Ultra, thanks! I'm glad people are getting it.
	10:23pm JakeGould: Nate! There is a Kickstarter campaign to digitally remove the rat from the end of “The Departed.” https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adamsacks/digitally-erase-the-rat-from-the-end-of-the-depart
	10:29pm ultradamno: If a rat was good enough for The Stranglers, it's good enough for Scorsese!
	10:31pm Nate K.: @Jake, ha! What a time to be alive.
	10:40pm Marc15: If you believe that your Baby just cares for you, I have a bridge to sell you
	10:53pm Ashok: that numbers band track was stellar
	10:58pm Nate K.: @Ashok, glad you liked it.
	11:21pm ultradamno: It will be Poison Ivy's birthday in about 40 minutes.
	11:46pm tak: beautiful
	11:48pm mb: Great segue!
	11:48pm sfsf: Happy birthday Ivy!
	11:48pm ultradamno: Miserlou is so sturdy, it can shine in pretty much any style or experiment.

Fri. Dec 6th, 9pm - Midnight: Feeling Figures (More info...)
Montreal's Feeling Figures are led by the songwriting duo of Zakary Slax and Kay Moon. The band's second LP, Everything Around You, was recently co-released by K and Perennial, and while it harkens to the sounds of indie rock's golden age, the album and the band aren't that simple to pin down, as Slax and Moon's distinctive songcraft rise above any easy genre signifier. The band dropped by WFMU on their recent East Coast swing, and with a couple of extra Retail Simps in tow (Zak also does time in that band), a good time was had. Tune in Friday, December 6 to check it out.
Fri. Dec 27th, 9pm - Midnight: Count It Down: The Burn It Down! Best of 2024 Special (More info...)
Nate the K. looks back on some of his favorite LPs, EPs, singles, reissues, and archival releases from the year that was. Tracks will be played in no particular order, because to paraphrase Michael Shelley and Hot Chocolate, respectively, they're all number one hits and everyone's a winner, baby...that's no lie.
