	10:04pm Jeff Conklin: Hey, Scott! Hope youre all well down there...
	10:04pm Gaylord Fields: Jeff, perhaps I should be listening to the next 10-15 minutes of this show in my car for familiarity's sake.
	10:04pm John from Florham park: Hello Jeff and Scott
	10:05pm ParUbi: Hi Jeff, hey everyone
	10:05pm Jeff Conklin: @Gaylord: As I mentioned elsewhere, before I recorded this show I drove around my neighborhood for an hour and twenty minutes to be as realistic as possible.
	10:06pm allanToronto: Popol Vuh. Book of the People. Vox Populi. WFMU
	10:06pm Carmichael: Thus is Dicky Bettsy.
	10:07pm ?: Off to a great start
	10:07pm Fuzzy: Hello all! Thanks to the WFMU Wizards for keeping us all afloat these days!
	10:07pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeff: Haha! Old habits, right, man?
	10:07pm chresti: I love Vox Populi.
	10:08pm Jeff Conklin: I went to Ear Wax Records in Brooklyn on a lovely spring day my first week of living there. I asked about Popol Vuh having just read a mention of them in a music magazine. The guy put that song on and everything changed for the better...
	10:08pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord>Jeff has become one of my favorite gazintas.
	10:08pm Kiefer: Yeeeeeahhhhh
	10:08pm ParUbi: Ear Wax? That sounds familiar...
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: "The guy"
	10:09pm chresti: That's Fabio's place
	10:10pm ParUbi: @chresti-- wasn't sure, but that's it, right?
	10:10pm Jeff Conklin: Fabio wasn't there, It was a guy whose name escapes me and a guy named Jim who is a Seattle guy now and a listener of this show. Full circle!
	10:10pm brendangen: "Fun" fact is that I constantly confuse Popol Vuh and Arvo Part's names and often speak about one when meaning the other.
	10:10pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: I do like being Jeff's lead-in.
	10:10pm chresti: ParUbi, right.
	10:11pm Jeff Conklin: My editing seemed to hold up between first two jams. Hope it keeps up...
	10:12pm Gaylord Fields: @brendangen: And what about Amon Düül (II)?
	10:12pm Chop Scott: Escott! Popol Vuh--interesting start, eh? There is something in that track that mesmerizes me each and every time. The show sounds great Jeff--as ever!
	10:13pm Lara: Aw yeah
	10:13pm TDK60: ..this is a show prerecorded from home?
	10:14pm Jeff Conklin: @TDK60: Yes, I did it yesterday. But I was fully clothed.
	10:14pm Riley: this song reminds me of a shirt i have
	10:14pm gray whale: Thanks Jeff for the quasi-live set! Long live WFMU!
	10:15pm ?: Tuning in from Olympia, thanks for keeping our minds peaced and our heads deep
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: But what about now, Jeff?
	10:15pm Neal Cassady: Joined the stream at the exact right moment :)
	10:15pm Carmichael: Please play more songs from the shirt.
	10:15pm Jeff Conklin: Fully clothed still. Having some ice cream. Can't remember the next song. Excited to find out!
	10:16pm Mike & Dusty: i bet $500 that we’d hear Hello Sunshine tonight but i was the only one there, so i had to scramble to find $500 to pay myself off
	10:16pm Jeff Conklin: Dusty is not a betting gal, hi Mike, hope youre doing well..
	10:16pm Jon: Thanks for recording this show, Jeff. It wouldn’t feel like Sunday night without The Avant Ghetto!
	10:17pm Mike & Dusty: Jeff what are you wearing
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, if you decide to stream live from home, I'm pretty sure that pants interfere with the connection. That's a lesson I learned the hard way.
	10:18pm Jeff Conklin: Jeans, Wet Tuna t-shirt, one of two flannel shirts I own.
	10:18pm Lara: Jeff is this loner folk
	10:19pm Jeff Conklin: @Lara: Ha. Who am I to say but the singer doesn't sound alone....
	10:19pm allanToronto: No man is on Island.
	10:19pm Jon: I believe the term is now “social distancing folk”
	10:20pm wendy del formaggio: Hello, friends.
	10:20pm mb: Confession: Not until I randomly came upon the RCR cover i thought that the figure on the shirt was DJJC.
	10:20pm Scott Williams: Chop Shop in the house! Cheers, Brother.
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	10:21pm Riley: comin arouunnnd
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: I mean this is an obvious Other One rip, am I wrong? Released 1971....
	10:22pm wendy del formaggio: Uncle Michael! Sending love to you. I hope you are faring as well as one can these days.
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: comin' around, y'all
	10:22pm Chop Scott: Cheers Scott--thanks for holding down the fort.
	10:23pm Riley: polyrhythm and all
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: Likewise, Wendy. I'm staying strong. Thank you.
	10:23pm Jon: Brother From Another Other One!
	10:23pm pigpen: this is a blatant ripoff of the other one no doubt
	10:24pm wendy del formaggio: I’m starting to get a little freaked out, but that will pass. It usually does. And if it doesn’t, I picked up some Xanax yesterday.
	10:24pm CraigInMoTown: Two songs in row that I know- crazy!
	10:24pm Carmichael: I would think Kansas is fairly laid back, compared to CA or NY? That’s my guess anyway.
	10:25pm Jeff Conklin: Larry Young on organ btw
	10:25pm TDK60: yeh, thanks there in the booth Scott.
	10:26pm Jeff Conklin: my daughter makes her first radio appearance tonight, by the way
	10:26pm Franco Twinkie: I was asleep but heard these guitars, and I knew something had changed, but...what...was...it?
	10:26pm Bubba: Thank you for playing this bad ass meditation
	10:26pm Scott Williams: @TDK60, I'm happy to be useful. @Jeff, can't wait to hear her radio debut!
	10:27pm TDK60: haven't heard this duo in a spell, wicked holy.
	10:27pm Riley: aww :)
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: Laid back? Maybe. I worry about armed MAGAs when the food runs low.
	10:28pm mb: Thought this was Superfjord for a quick second.
	10:30pm Jeff Conklin: Wherever you are, is there toilet paper?
	10:31pm Riley: indiana here. no.
	10:31pm Scott Williams: There it is!
	10:31pm zzz: totally other 1 in there in that bronco. had to check, wondered if they were a SF band, though i guess by ‘71 others would have been hip to it. british band i guess? maybe at 5/24/70, played other 1 then. hah archive.org... cool track regardless
	10:32pm Jon: I’ve got some t-shirts that have become tank-tops... no, not yet... still have some TP...
	10:32pm pigpen: oh yeaaaah Jerry
	10:32pm Scott Williams: The Dead, not the TP
	10:32pm Franco Twinkie: It's raining here,so we just go outside and point our asses at the sky.
	10:32pm Uncle Michael: This is a gooood one.
	10:33pm Jeff Conklin: Re: Bronco. UK band, I'm sure they heard the second live album?
	10:33pm pigpen: I always thought 1978 close encounters space was their first gig at mcarthur court - well done jeff.
	10:33pm gregorianpants:
	10:34pm McGroovey: This Dark Star is working well for me.
	10:35pm Carmichael: I’ve heard of this band.
	10:35pm heinseng: Thank you!!
	10:36pm Riley: (─‿‿─)
	10:36pm Jeff Conklin: One of my all-time favorite Dark Stars. This whole show is super excellent...
	10:36pm Uncle Michael: This Dark Star is 23:52. Settle in.
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: Not committed to memory....I checked my copy.
	10:38pm ParUbi: Clearly the inspiration for the movie of the same name
	10:40pm Tome: !<>!.....!<>!
	10:40pm cosmic matrix: I knew these noodles sounded familiar. Hey this feels pretty good in Vermont right now! THANKS
	10:42pm Kiefer: Killer soundtrack as I prepare to teach my 7th and 8th graders online for, most likely, the rest of the school year.
	10:43pm ParUbi: Which classes are you teaching, Kiefer?
	10:43pm Jeff Conklin: @kiefer: it’s so nuts to think about that
	10:44pm zpp: roses and skulls for the skeleton crew
	10:44pm chresti: I like long songs.
	10:45pm Carmichael: There is a bakery here called Grateful Bread.
	10:46pm Art in Van: Hey, anyone catch any good live stream concerts this week?
	10:46pm Jeff Conklin: How I listen to FMU (Bluetooth to the HiFi) https://imgur.com/TnsRQXN
	10:47pm TDK60: Jerry's guitar has such great timbres on this.
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: The first time I saw Zabriskie Point, at Baxter Hall on the campus of Cal Tech, outer space was replaced with stealing an airplane in The Mojave Desert as the go to visual in my brain when ever I heard Dark Star.
	10:48pm Carmichael: I watched Stereolab at Primavera 2019 on YouTube. 20 minutes of bliss.
	10:48pm chresti: Franco found a jumbo industrial roll, like the kind they have in gas stations.
	10:49pm Jeff Conklin: Starbirthed did a great set in their living room that I caught. I’ve been advising on a new live streaming concert venture that’ll be announced soon. Lots of Avant Ghetto friendly artists.
	10:49pm Carmichael: HA HA! Can you fit it on the dispenser?
	10:49pm ParUbi: I delivered a 24 roll double pack of TP to Doug Schulkind today
	10:51pm Centripetal Force: certainly glad you figured out how to make this work!
	10:51pm Riley: @Jeff heady rig. need camera folks for the streaming shindig?
	10:51pm RCU-Keith: Goddamn this Dark Star is insanely great. I haven't listened to this one in ages. It's a total joy to hear tonight, thanks, Jeff.
	10:51pm Rambutan: superb Dark Star here. Could go on forever and I wouldn't complain.
	10:52pm Aaron: I love this dark star
	10:52pm cosmic matrix: @carmichael -- def gonna check that out. i saw them in like 1994 or something.
	10:52pm Jeff Conklin: Riley: I think they’re all Set. Locations in Northern California, NY and Philly.
	10:52pm zzz: ^^ ditto. this is so sweet
	10:52pm cosmic matrix: this music is so alive
	10:53pm cosmic matrix: psychedelic sync
	10:53pm Jon: That’s an awesome setup, Jeff. I’m just on my phone listening through the app on my earbuds. WFMU has such a great mobile app, by the way.
	10:53pm Riley: @Jeff oh snap can’t wait to tune in!
	10:53pm chresti: No! It's on a shelf in the bathroom @Carmichael
	10:53pm Jeff Conklin: @jon Yeah the app is amazing.
	10:54pm Carmichael: Should be on an altar, chresti.
	10:54pm opurt: Jeff, can't wait to hear about your streaming concert venture. Thank you so much for the great show tonight.
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: I must clarify, Carmichael, the jumbo roll of TP was in my shop, I just brought it home. But yesterday I found a jumbo roll of paper towels at Mission Hardware. They have boxes of the stuff!
	10:55pm MONEYBAG$: just noticed that even in times like these, there are people posting ads on Craigslist looking for singers can who "nail" Phil Collins songs
	10:55pm chresti: That was nice of you, ParUbi.
	10:55pm Kiefer: @ParUbi I teach basic coding (Python) and CAD to 8th graders. And a general tech exploration class to 7th graders (podcasting, video editing, block coding, website design).
	10:55pm ParUbi: There was always enough TP for everyone, but people had to go bananas
	10:56pm steveL: Damn it Jeff! Your voice is your ticket to fame!
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: You just sound like you have a cold, Jeff.
	10:57pm Andy: tuning in from Orlando from the Tonstartssbandht house <3 love you Jeff, everybody be safe, take care of those around ye
	10:57pm reel man: Such a sweet Dark Star! your mic sounds totally fine!
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: Ah, great to hear from you Andy! You guys doing a quarantine album??
	10:58pm chresti: Good idea, Carmichael.
	10:58pm pumpernickel: Philly is present and appreciative for this familiar laidback landing pad during a soak
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: This is my laptop's microphone, ugh.
	10:59pm Lara: It sounds great
	11:00pm Riley: andy you guys rule. wow. bought your latest lp from jeff. hope you’re staying healthy down there
	11:00pm Uncle Michael: You done good, Jeff. I'm going to enjoy the show sans comments now. Good night all.
	11:00pm Jeff Conklin: That first set was all digital, this second set is all freshly ripped vinyl
	11:00pm Kiefer: @jeff conklin The mic is just fine.
	11:00pm cosmic matrix: This is fantastic. Actually your voice sounds better on that mic than many podcasts do! Seriously. Maybe it's because you know how to use it.
	11:01pm Jeff Conklin: I have a newer Mac, i have to say its built in speakers are excellent as far as these things go so I guess the mic isnt horrible.
	11:01pm sinister dexter: greetings from Muskegon Michigan
	11:02pm ParUbi: @sinister-- I've been to Muskegon! The dunes are really cool
	11:03pm chresti: Good night UM.
	11:03pm Jeff Conklin: Night, UM
	11:03pm Hams: thanks for your good work, jeff. always here on sundee nights, pandemic or not.
	11:03pm Jeff Conklin: Beverley Glenn-Copeland on vocals here.
	11:04pm Jeff Conklin: my pleasure, Hams.
	11:04pm ParUbi: Sleep well, UM!
	11:05pm sinister dexter: yes the dunes on the lakeshore here are real special
	11:05pm Jeff Conklin: I forgot to mention it on the air, but my deepest thanks and gratitude to all of you who pledged to FMU during the fundraiser. Really, can't thank you enough. If you're new, and can spare it, it's not too late.
	11:05pm Carmichael: Hey Kiefer, I know a guy who apparently “wrote the book” on Python. Don’t know anything about IT, so it may be bullshit.
	11:05pm Cabbage: Thank you for being here <3
	11:06pm Bob O: Everything sounds really good, Geoff. You are obviously a good DIY self teacher! That was a really sweet, meditative dark star from 1969 in Eugene Oregon… Thanks for that…
	11:06pm Andy: I'm 5 days fresh from nyc so I'm quarantining from Ed for another 10 days :^\| in time we'll finish new music, I think we'll have nothing but time for awhile.
	11:07pm Jeff Conklin: @Andy: Awesome, give my best to Ed please. Love you guys...
	11:07pm oman2112: New to WFMU, really nice music...Thank You!
	11:07pm Jeff Conklin: Welcome, oman2112!
	11:08pm Roach n Lil Nasty: Central Time calling. Ran outta Robitussin, but the jams are still sick. Be well, Jeff!
	11:08pm Bob O: Sorry for misspelling your name, Jeff. that was the auto correct on my phone
	11:10pm Jeff Conklin: All good, Bob, that typo put me into an upper class world I'm wholly unfamilar with...
	11:12pm ParUbi: I lived in Eugene for 5 years or so. I think I saw Ken Kesey's bus
	11:12pm Aitch: Careful with that axe?
	11:15pm Mo Klementine: Damn that was such a great Cockburn earlier! 3 songs ago, it was just a great Cockburn.
	11:15pm Rambutan: Dion! Excellent choice.
	11:16pm Scott Williams: Man, I love this era Dion
	11:16pm Jeff Conklin: Cockburn is so so so incredibly underrated. His newest album is FANTASTIC. Dion, too, is unheralded for this phase of his career. He kills me!
	11:17pm Saul Wright: Saludos Jeff and everybody. From Chile, where, like so many, we’re in for a rough couple months... glad to have music.
	11:17pm joeray: Good Evening, Jeff! I-Phone/Apple microphones are surprisingly good. It's cool that you and other WFMU DJs are doing your shows remotely. Station Manager Ken (during his program) sounded more than a little freaked out about the DJ's ability to continue with their shows during this Pandemic. Thanks for still being on the air if only temporarily displaced.
	11:17pm Carmichael: Last song on the album. Always good luck.
	11:17pm Saul Wright: Def need to check out Cockburn, that song was great.
	11:18pm Jeff Conklin: Was Dion sober at this point? This is a friend of Bill W song title...
	11:18pm Carmichael: It was ‘71, Jeff.
	11:18pm Jeff Conklin: @Saul: You can't go wrong with any Bruce from the 70s...
	11:18pm allanToronto: Dion DiMucci is under-rated...a career overshadowed by his early hits
	11:19pm Jeff Conklin: @joeray: Yeah it wasnt as bad as I thought. Ken's been doing a great job through this crisis. We all wish we could be there..
	11:20pm Jason Elbogen: Hey Jeff... may I ask which program you used to record this? I just bought a Yeti USB microphone--arrived today--but haven't set it up yet because I'm simultaneously dealing with another work-from-home-issue (I'm a public school teacher and remote learning starts tomorrow).
	11:20pm Jeff Conklin: Ah, forgot I put this on. This is Bobby Vee!
	11:21pm Jeff Conklin: @Jason: I used Audacity. Very simple and intuitive. Let me know how that mic works out!
	11:21pm Carmichael: Bobby friggin Vee? Wow ...
	11:21pm Jeff Conklin: Yup, from his 1972 country rock record, WHICH IS FANTASTIC
	11:22pm Jason Elbogen: Ok, cool, I know audacity pretty well. You just recorded off your soundcard directly I guess? But did you use some kind of mixing program to cue up tracks? Or did you just drag them all in beforehand to make a large file?
	11:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bobby Vee, the guy who put together a show to replace Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, who died in the plane crash en route.
	11:24pm Jeff Conklin: @Jason: For digital tracks I just dump them in Audacity. For the vinyl, I have an external soundcard with a line out from my amplifier to rip the vinyl..
	11:30pm Jason Elbogen: I have a USB turntable that I'll use for non-digital... Thanks for the tips and as keep safe, Jeff.
	11:33pm Alex of Chicago: nice show, jeff
	11:33pm Jeff Conklin: Ah, a return to normalcy with everyone disappearing for the last 30 minutes :)
	11:34pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, Alex!
	11:34pm Riley: we here just vibing
	11:35pm ethan: facts, we just vibing to jesse
	11:36pm Jon: Still here. Best quarantine ever!
	11:36pm RCU-Keith: I still am shocked by how underrated Jesse Colin Young's solo work is. It's so great but nobody talks about it.
	11:37pm Gary: Wow! I haven’t heard Boa Conscrictor... in like 50 years.
	11:37pm Jeff Conklin: All i do is talk about JCY :). Dollar bin masterpieces better than 90 percent of high-dollar private presses
	11:38pm PMD: Tuning in from the desert of CA
	11:38pm ethan: wait, that larry groce?
	11:38pm Bob O: Check out Aussie Guitar Ace Geoff Achison sometime. Lotsa good clips on YouTube. Now that’s a Geoff-worthy name! He’s a shredder!
	11:38pm Jeff Conklin: @Gary: You may be the first person I've ever heard of who knew Boa back then. Wild. You had the LP?
	11:39pm PMD: @Jeff reading the question about recording, did you make one large audacity file? Didn’t see the answer.
	11:41pm Jeff Conklin: @ethan: Jesse Colin Young @PMD: Yes I combined digital tracks, mic breaks, and vinyl rips into one track. FLAC file.
	11:44pm PMD: @Jeff. Wow. Thanks!
	11:49pm pp: That Jesse Colin Young song Together sounded like a more sedate version of Tommy James & Shondells song She, which goes off in a swirling, psychedelic chorus on the word Together.
	11:50pm Riley: tears of grief that this show is drawing to a close. thanks for a wonderful evening of tunes jeff. so glad you’re making it work from where you are
	11:51pm mb: Not fair with this two-fer, Jeffery
	11:51pm Jeff Conklin: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the worst sounding record of the evening...
	11:52pm Gary: @jeff. My good friend had it. I just sent him A pic of the cover and told him you played it. Wonderful show. Thanks so much!
	11:52pm Riley: must be super obscure
	11:54pm Jeff Conklin: @Riley: No, It's just the first copy of Big Pink I ever bought ages ago, never upgraded :/
	11:55pm mb: Big thanks for making it happen tonight Jeff. And massive thanks and praises to Scott Williams and the skeletons. Yet again bolstering us thru another shit storm. Can't stop, won't stop WFMU.
	11:55pm chresti: Thanks Jeff and Scott!
	11:56pm Choggie: Hello to the WFMU Skeleton Crew Manning the board cheers to all Outdoors
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Jeff. I bet you're happy you don't have to drive home just about now.
	11:57pm Andy: beautiful set brother! Ed says Hi, we love you too, and love all yall here too! check in on your friends family communities and give fucking hell to our congress <3 stay very safe, positive, and compassionate
	11:57pm Jeff Conklin: Big ups to Scott! Yes, I'm glad I don't have to drive right now. Stay tuned for my station ID to hear the youngest Conklin...
	11:57pm Bob O: Great show, Jeff! Time just flew! I love your affinity for superb and underrated Singer/Songwriters!, including Dion!!!
	11:58pm Mo Klementine: Thanks so much for you! All this amazing human sound, and so much hope.
	11:58pm opurt: Thank you Jeff. Stay safe!
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jeff. Are you going to go driving now or hit the hay?
	11:59pm Scott Williams: Big ups to you, Jeff! Excellent show this evening, really got me in my feels, thanks for making it fresh.
	11:59pm Jeff Conklin: I guess I'l just go sit in my car for an hour and half to keep things "normal"
	12:01am Jeff Conklin: I went walking along the river in Poughkeepsie today exactly where I saw Richie Havens play years ago. Burning Spear too
	7:42am AndrewC.: Thanks for another great show - always a treat From archive listener Andrew

	10:03pm Jeff Conklin: Evening, all. So nice to be with you. Weird to be home listening!
	10:03pm Scott Williams: Florian Fricke will heal us all!! Thanks for making the show, Jeff.
	10:04pm ethan: wow, popol rules
	10:04pm Jeff Conklin: Hey, Scott! Hope youre all well down there...
	10:04pm Gaylord Fields: Jeff, perhaps I should be listening to the next 10-15 minutes of this show in my car for familiarity's sake.
	10:04pm John from Florham park: Hello Jeff and Scott
	10:05pm ParUbi: Hi Jeff, hey everyone
	10:05pm Jeff Conklin: @Gaylord: As I mentioned elsewhere, before I recorded this show I drove around my neighborhood for an hour and twenty minutes to be as realistic as possible.
	10:06pm allanToronto: Popol Vuh. Book of the People. Vox Populi. WFMU
	10:06pm Carmichael: Thus is Dicky Bettsy.
	10:07pm ?: Off to a great start
	10:07pm Fuzzy: Hello all! Thanks to the WFMU Wizards for keeping us all afloat these days!
	10:07pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeff: Haha! Old habits, right, man?
	10:07pm chresti: I love Vox Populi.
	10:08pm Jeff Conklin: I went to Ear Wax Records in Brooklyn on a lovely spring day my first week of living there. I asked about Popol Vuh having just read a mention of them in a music magazine. The guy put that song on and everything changed for the better...
	10:08pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord>Jeff has become one of my favorite gazintas.
	10:08pm Kiefer: Yeeeeeahhhhh
	10:08pm ParUbi: Ear Wax? That sounds familiar...
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: "The guy"
	10:09pm chresti: That's Fabio's place
	10:10pm ParUbi: @chresti-- wasn't sure, but that's it, right?
	10:10pm Jeff Conklin: Fabio wasn't there, It was a guy whose name escapes me and a guy named Jim who is a Seattle guy now and a listener of this show. Full circle!
	10:10pm brendangen: "Fun" fact is that I constantly confuse Popol Vuh and Arvo Part's names and often speak about one when meaning the other.
	10:10pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: I do like being Jeff's lead-in.
	10:10pm chresti: ParUbi, right.
	10:11pm Jeff Conklin: My editing seemed to hold up between first two jams. Hope it keeps up...
	10:12pm Gaylord Fields: @brendangen: And what about Amon Düül (II)?
	10:12pm Chop Scott: Escott! Popol Vuh--interesting start, eh? There is something in that track that mesmerizes me each and every time. The show sounds great Jeff--as ever!
	10:13pm Lara: Aw yeah
	10:13pm TDK60: ..this is a show prerecorded from home?
	10:14pm Jeff Conklin: @TDK60: Yes, I did it yesterday. But I was fully clothed.
	10:14pm Riley: this song reminds me of a shirt i have
	10:14pm gray whale: Thanks Jeff for the quasi-live set! Long live WFMU!
	10:15pm ?: Tuning in from Olympia, thanks for keeping our minds peaced and our heads deep
	10:15pm Uncle Michael: But what about now, Jeff?
	10:15pm Neal Cassady: Joined the stream at the exact right moment :)
	10:15pm Carmichael: Please play more songs from the shirt.
	10:15pm Jeff Conklin: Fully clothed still. Having some ice cream. Can't remember the next song. Excited to find out!
	10:16pm Mike & Dusty: i bet $500 that we’d hear Hello Sunshine tonight but i was the only one there, so i had to scramble to find $500 to pay myself off
	10:16pm Jeff Conklin: Dusty is not a betting gal, hi Mike, hope youre doing well..
	10:16pm Jon: Thanks for recording this show, Jeff. It wouldn’t feel like Sunday night without The Avant Ghetto!
	10:17pm Mike & Dusty: Jeff what are you wearing
	10:18pm Uncle Michael: Jeff, if you decide to stream live from home, I'm pretty sure that pants interfere with the connection. That's a lesson I learned the hard way.
	10:18pm Jeff Conklin: Jeans, Wet Tuna t-shirt, one of two flannel shirts I own.
	10:18pm Lara: Jeff is this loner folk
	10:19pm Jeff Conklin: @Lara: Ha. Who am I to say but the singer doesn't sound alone....
	10:19pm allanToronto: No man is on Island.
	10:19pm Jon: I believe the term is now “social distancing folk”
	10:20pm wendy del formaggio: Hello, friends.
	10:20pm mb: Confession: Not until I randomly came upon the RCR cover i thought that the figure on the shirt was DJJC.
	10:20pm Scott Williams: Chop Shop in the house! Cheers, Brother.
	10:21pm Uncle Michael: Wendy!
	10:21pm Riley: comin arouunnnd
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: I mean this is an obvious Other One rip, am I wrong? Released 1971....
	10:22pm wendy del formaggio: Uncle Michael! Sending love to you. I hope you are faring as well as one can these days.
	10:22pm Uncle Michael: comin' around, y'all
	10:22pm Chop Scott: Cheers Scott--thanks for holding down the fort.
	10:23pm Riley: polyrhythm and all
	10:23pm Uncle Michael: Likewise, Wendy. I'm staying strong. Thank you.
	10:23pm Jon: Brother From Another Other One!
	10:23pm pigpen: this is a blatant ripoff of the other one no doubt
	10:24pm wendy del formaggio: I’m starting to get a little freaked out, but that will pass. It usually does. And if it doesn’t, I picked up some Xanax yesterday.
	10:24pm CraigInMoTown: Two songs in row that I know- crazy!
	10:24pm Carmichael: I would think Kansas is fairly laid back, compared to CA or NY? That’s my guess anyway.
	10:25pm Jeff Conklin: Larry Young on organ btw
	10:25pm TDK60: yeh, thanks there in the booth Scott.
	10:26pm Jeff Conklin: my daughter makes her first radio appearance tonight, by the way
	10:26pm Franco Twinkie: I was asleep but heard these guitars, and I knew something had changed, but...what...was...it?
	10:26pm Bubba: Thank you for playing this bad ass meditation
	10:26pm Scott Williams: @TDK60, I'm happy to be useful. @Jeff, can't wait to hear her radio debut!
	10:27pm TDK60: haven't heard this duo in a spell, wicked holy.
	10:27pm Riley: aww :)
	10:27pm Uncle Michael: Laid back? Maybe. I worry about armed MAGAs when the food runs low.
	10:28pm mb: Thought this was Superfjord for a quick second.
	10:30pm Jeff Conklin: Wherever you are, is there toilet paper?
	10:31pm Riley: indiana here. no.
	10:31pm Scott Williams: There it is!
	10:31pm zzz: totally other 1 in there in that bronco. had to check, wondered if they were a SF band, though i guess by ‘71 others would have been hip to it. british band i guess? maybe at 5/24/70, played other 1 then. hah archive.org... cool track regardless
	10:32pm Jon: I’ve got some t-shirts that have become tank-tops... no, not yet... still have some TP...
	10:32pm pigpen: oh yeaaaah Jerry
	10:32pm Scott Williams: The Dead, not the TP
	10:32pm Franco Twinkie: It's raining here,so we just go outside and point our asses at the sky.
	10:32pm Uncle Michael: This is a gooood one.
	10:33pm Jeff Conklin: Re: Bronco. UK band, I'm sure they heard the second live album?
	10:33pm pigpen: I always thought 1978 close encounters space was their first gig at mcarthur court - well done jeff.
	10:33pm gregorianpants:
	10:34pm McGroovey: This Dark Star is working well for me.
	10:35pm Carmichael: I’ve heard of this band.
	10:35pm heinseng: Thank you!!
	10:36pm Riley: (─‿‿─)
	10:36pm Jeff Conklin: One of my all-time favorite Dark Stars. This whole show is super excellent...
	10:36pm Uncle Michael: This Dark Star is 23:52. Settle in.
	10:37pm Uncle Michael: Not committed to memory....I checked my copy.
	10:38pm ParUbi: Clearly the inspiration for the movie of the same name
	10:40pm Tome: !<>!.....!<>!
	10:40pm cosmic matrix: I knew these noodles sounded familiar. Hey this feels pretty good in Vermont right now! THANKS
	10:42pm Kiefer: Killer soundtrack as I prepare to teach my 7th and 8th graders online for, most likely, the rest of the school year.
	10:43pm ParUbi: Which classes are you teaching, Kiefer?
	10:43pm Jeff Conklin: @kiefer: it’s so nuts to think about that
	10:44pm zpp: roses and skulls for the skeleton crew
	10:44pm chresti: I like long songs.
	10:45pm Carmichael: There is a bakery here called Grateful Bread.
	10:46pm Art in Van: Hey, anyone catch any good live stream concerts this week?
	10:46pm Jeff Conklin: How I listen to FMU (Bluetooth to the HiFi) https://imgur.com/TnsRQXN
	10:47pm TDK60: Jerry's guitar has such great timbres on this.
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: The first time I saw Zabriskie Point, at Baxter Hall on the campus of Cal Tech, outer space was replaced with stealing an airplane in The Mojave Desert as the go to visual in my brain when ever I heard Dark Star.
	10:48pm Carmichael: I watched Stereolab at Primavera 2019 on YouTube. 20 minutes of bliss.
	10:48pm chresti: Franco found a jumbo industrial roll, like the kind they have in gas stations.
	10:49pm Jeff Conklin: Starbirthed did a great set in their living room that I caught. I’ve been advising on a new live streaming concert venture that’ll be announced soon. Lots of Avant Ghetto friendly artists.
	10:49pm Carmichael: HA HA! Can you fit it on the dispenser?
	10:49pm ParUbi: I delivered a 24 roll double pack of TP to Doug Schulkind today
	10:51pm Centripetal Force: certainly glad you figured out how to make this work!
	10:51pm Riley: @Jeff heady rig. need camera folks for the streaming shindig?
	10:51pm RCU-Keith: Goddamn this Dark Star is insanely great. I haven't listened to this one in ages. It's a total joy to hear tonight, thanks, Jeff.
	10:51pm Rambutan: superb Dark Star here. Could go on forever and I wouldn't complain.
	10:52pm Aaron: I love this dark star
	10:52pm cosmic matrix: @carmichael -- def gonna check that out. i saw them in like 1994 or something.
	10:52pm Jeff Conklin: Riley: I think they’re all Set. Locations in Northern California, NY and Philly.
	10:52pm zzz: ^^ ditto. this is so sweet
	10:52pm cosmic matrix: this music is so alive
	10:53pm cosmic matrix: psychedelic sync
	10:53pm Jon: That’s an awesome setup, Jeff. I’m just on my phone listening through the app on my earbuds. WFMU has such a great mobile app, by the way.
	10:53pm Riley: @Jeff oh snap can’t wait to tune in!
	10:53pm chresti: No! It's on a shelf in the bathroom @Carmichael
	10:53pm Jeff Conklin: @jon Yeah the app is amazing.
	10:54pm Carmichael: Should be on an altar, chresti.
	10:54pm opurt: Jeff, can't wait to hear about your streaming concert venture. Thank you so much for the great show tonight.
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: I must clarify, Carmichael, the jumbo roll of TP was in my shop, I just brought it home. But yesterday I found a jumbo roll of paper towels at Mission Hardware. They have boxes of the stuff!
	10:55pm MONEYBAG$: just noticed that even in times like these, there are people posting ads on Craigslist looking for singers can who "nail" Phil Collins songs
	10:55pm chresti: That was nice of you, ParUbi.
	10:55pm Kiefer: @ParUbi I teach basic coding (Python) and CAD to 8th graders. And a general tech exploration class to 7th graders (podcasting, video editing, block coding, website design).
	10:55pm ParUbi: There was always enough TP for everyone, but people had to go bananas
	10:56pm steveL: Damn it Jeff! Your voice is your ticket to fame!
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: You just sound like you have a cold, Jeff.
	10:57pm Andy: tuning in from Orlando from the Tonstartssbandht house <3 love you Jeff, everybody be safe, take care of those around ye
	10:57pm reel man: Such a sweet Dark Star! your mic sounds totally fine!
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: Ah, great to hear from you Andy! You guys doing a quarantine album??
	10:58pm chresti: Good idea, Carmichael.
	10:58pm pumpernickel: Philly is present and appreciative for this familiar laidback landing pad during a soak
	10:58pm Jeff Conklin: This is my laptop's microphone, ugh.
	10:59pm Lara: It sounds great
	11:00pm Riley: andy you guys rule. wow. bought your latest lp from jeff. hope you’re staying healthy down there
	11:00pm Uncle Michael: You done good, Jeff. I'm going to enjoy the show sans comments now. Good night all.
	11:00pm Jeff Conklin: That first set was all digital, this second set is all freshly ripped vinyl
	11:00pm Kiefer: @jeff conklin The mic is just fine.
	11:00pm cosmic matrix: This is fantastic. Actually your voice sounds better on that mic than many podcasts do! Seriously. Maybe it's because you know how to use it.
	11:01pm Jeff Conklin: I have a newer Mac, i have to say its built in speakers are excellent as far as these things go so I guess the mic isnt horrible.
	11:01pm sinister dexter: greetings from Muskegon Michigan
	11:02pm ParUbi: @sinister-- I've been to Muskegon! The dunes are really cool
	11:03pm chresti: Good night UM.
	11:03pm Jeff Conklin: Night, UM
	11:03pm Hams: thanks for your good work, jeff. always here on sundee nights, pandemic or not.
	11:03pm Jeff Conklin: Beverley Glenn-Copeland on vocals here.
	11:04pm Jeff Conklin: my pleasure, Hams.
	11:04pm ParUbi: Sleep well, UM!
	11:05pm sinister dexter: yes the dunes on the lakeshore here are real special
	11:05pm Jeff Conklin: I forgot to mention it on the air, but my deepest thanks and gratitude to all of you who pledged to FMU during the fundraiser. Really, can't thank you enough. If you're new, and can spare it, it's not too late.
	11:05pm Carmichael: Hey Kiefer, I know a guy who apparently “wrote the book” on Python. Don’t know anything about IT, so it may be bullshit.
	11:05pm Cabbage: Thank you for being here <3
	11:06pm Bob O: Everything sounds really good, Geoff. You are obviously a good DIY self teacher! That was a really sweet, meditative dark star from 1969 in Eugene Oregon… Thanks for that…
	11:06pm Andy: I'm 5 days fresh from nyc so I'm quarantining from Ed for another 10 days :^\| in time we'll finish new music, I think we'll have nothing but time for awhile.
	11:07pm Jeff Conklin: @Andy: Awesome, give my best to Ed please. Love you guys...
	11:07pm oman2112: New to WFMU, really nice music...Thank You!
	11:07pm Jeff Conklin: Welcome, oman2112!
	11:08pm Roach n Lil Nasty: Central Time calling. Ran outta Robitussin, but the jams are still sick. Be well, Jeff!
	11:08pm Bob O: Sorry for misspelling your name, Jeff. that was the auto correct on my phone
	11:10pm Jeff Conklin: All good, Bob, that typo put me into an upper class world I'm wholly unfamilar with...
	11:12pm ParUbi: I lived in Eugene for 5 years or so. I think I saw Ken Kesey's bus
	11:12pm Aitch: Careful with that axe?
	11:15pm Mo Klementine: Damn that was such a great Cockburn earlier! 3 songs ago, it was just a great Cockburn.
	11:15pm Rambutan: Dion! Excellent choice.
	11:16pm Scott Williams: Man, I love this era Dion
	11:16pm Jeff Conklin: Cockburn is so so so incredibly underrated. His newest album is FANTASTIC. Dion, too, is unheralded for this phase of his career. He kills me!
	11:17pm Saul Wright: Saludos Jeff and everybody. From Chile, where, like so many, we’re in for a rough couple months... glad to have music.
	11:17pm joeray: Good Evening, Jeff! I-Phone/Apple microphones are surprisingly good. It's cool that you and other WFMU DJs are doing your shows remotely. Station Manager Ken (during his program) sounded more than a little freaked out about the DJ's ability to continue with their shows during this Pandemic. Thanks for still being on the air if only temporarily displaced.
	11:17pm Carmichael: Last song on the album. Always good luck.
	11:17pm Saul Wright: Def need to check out Cockburn, that song was great.
	11:18pm Jeff Conklin: Was Dion sober at this point? This is a friend of Bill W song title...
	11:18pm Carmichael: It was ‘71, Jeff.
	11:18pm Jeff Conklin: @Saul: You can't go wrong with any Bruce from the 70s...
	11:18pm allanToronto: Dion DiMucci is under-rated...a career overshadowed by his early hits
	11:19pm Jeff Conklin: @joeray: Yeah it wasnt as bad as I thought. Ken's been doing a great job through this crisis. We all wish we could be there..
	11:20pm Jason Elbogen: Hey Jeff... may I ask which program you used to record this? I just bought a Yeti USB microphone--arrived today--but haven't set it up yet because I'm simultaneously dealing with another work-from-home-issue (I'm a public school teacher and remote learning starts tomorrow).
	11:20pm Jeff Conklin: Ah, forgot I put this on. This is Bobby Vee!
	11:21pm Jeff Conklin: @Jason: I used Audacity. Very simple and intuitive. Let me know how that mic works out!
	11:21pm Carmichael: Bobby friggin Vee? Wow ...
	11:21pm Jeff Conklin: Yup, from his 1972 country rock record, WHICH IS FANTASTIC
	11:22pm Jason Elbogen: Ok, cool, I know audacity pretty well. You just recorded off your soundcard directly I guess? But did you use some kind of mixing program to cue up tracks? Or did you just drag them all in beforehand to make a large file?
	11:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bobby Vee, the guy who put together a show to replace Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper, who died in the plane crash en route.
	11:24pm Jeff Conklin: @Jason: For digital tracks I just dump them in Audacity. For the vinyl, I have an external soundcard with a line out from my amplifier to rip the vinyl..
	11:30pm Jason Elbogen: I have a USB turntable that I'll use for non-digital... Thanks for the tips and as keep safe, Jeff.
	11:33pm Alex of Chicago: nice show, jeff
	11:33pm Jeff Conklin: Ah, a return to normalcy with everyone disappearing for the last 30 minutes :)
	11:34pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, Alex!
	11:34pm Riley: we here just vibing
	11:35pm ethan: facts, we just vibing to jesse
	11:36pm Jon: Still here. Best quarantine ever!
	11:36pm RCU-Keith: I still am shocked by how underrated Jesse Colin Young's solo work is. It's so great but nobody talks about it.
	11:37pm Gary: Wow! I haven’t heard Boa Conscrictor... in like 50 years.
	11:37pm Jeff Conklin: All i do is talk about JCY :). Dollar bin masterpieces better than 90 percent of high-dollar private presses
	11:38pm PMD: Tuning in from the desert of CA
	11:38pm ethan: wait, that larry groce?
	11:38pm Bob O: Check out Aussie Guitar Ace Geoff Achison sometime. Lotsa good clips on YouTube. Now that’s a Geoff-worthy name! He’s a shredder!
	11:38pm Jeff Conklin: @Gary: You may be the first person I've ever heard of who knew Boa back then. Wild. You had the LP?
	11:39pm PMD: @Jeff reading the question about recording, did you make one large audacity file? Didn’t see the answer.
	11:41pm Jeff Conklin: @ethan: Jesse Colin Young @PMD: Yes I combined digital tracks, mic breaks, and vinyl rips into one track. FLAC file.
	11:44pm PMD: @Jeff. Wow. Thanks!
	11:49pm pp: That Jesse Colin Young song Together sounded like a more sedate version of Tommy James & Shondells song She, which goes off in a swirling, psychedelic chorus on the word Together.
	11:50pm Riley: tears of grief that this show is drawing to a close. thanks for a wonderful evening of tunes jeff. so glad you’re making it work from where you are
	11:51pm mb: Not fair with this two-fer, Jeffery
	11:51pm Jeff Conklin: Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the worst sounding record of the evening...
	11:52pm Gary: @jeff. My good friend had it. I just sent him A pic of the cover and told him you played it. Wonderful show. Thanks so much!
	11:52pm Riley: must be super obscure
	11:54pm Jeff Conklin: @Riley: No, It's just the first copy of Big Pink I ever bought ages ago, never upgraded :/
	11:55pm mb: Big thanks for making it happen tonight Jeff. And massive thanks and praises to Scott Williams and the skeletons. Yet again bolstering us thru another shit storm. Can't stop, won't stop WFMU.
	11:55pm chresti: Thanks Jeff and Scott!
	11:56pm Choggie: Hello to the WFMU Skeleton Crew Manning the board cheers to all Outdoors
	11:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Jeff. I bet you're happy you don't have to drive home just about now.
	11:57pm Andy: beautiful set brother! Ed says Hi, we love you too, and love all yall here too! check in on your friends family communities and give fucking hell to our congress <3 stay very safe, positive, and compassionate
	11:57pm Jeff Conklin: Big ups to Scott! Yes, I'm glad I don't have to drive right now. Stay tuned for my station ID to hear the youngest Conklin...
	11:57pm Bob O: Great show, Jeff! Time just flew! I love your affinity for superb and underrated Singer/Songwriters!, including Dion!!!
	11:58pm Mo Klementine: Thanks so much for you! All this amazing human sound, and so much hope.
	11:58pm opurt: Thank you Jeff. Stay safe!
	11:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jeff. Are you going to go driving now or hit the hay?
	11:59pm Scott Williams: Big ups to you, Jeff! Excellent show this evening, really got me in my feels, thanks for making it fresh.
	11:59pm Jeff Conklin: I guess I'l just go sit in my car for an hour and half to keep things "normal"
	12:01am Jeff Conklin: I went walking along the river in Poughkeepsie today exactly where I saw Richie Havens play years ago. Burning Spear too
	7:42am AndrewC.: Thanks for another great show - always a treat From archive listener Andrew
