Listener comments!
	10:00pm Gary: Sam!
	10:02pm Sam Segal: Gary! Wonderful to see you, as always. Hell, maybe even more wonderful than always!
	10:02pm TDK60: Hello, haven't been here in a spell, I think.
	10:03pm chresti: Hi Sam and horse gods!
	10:03pm ParUbi: Hey Sam, horsefolk
	10:04pm northguineahills: Here, strangely w/ an equine, but a mule (who let it inside?)
	10:05pm coelacanth∅: hey Sam, godly and godless stablemates
	10:05pm Sam Segal: TDK, Chresti, ParUbi, NGH! Thanks for stepping into the Horse Zone (or Mule Zone, as the case may be).
	10:05pm Sam Segal: Holy Coel! Welcome!
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: mules are noble creatures
	10:07pm Andrew Waterloo: good evening
	10:08pm Sam Segal: Howdy, Andrew!
	10:08pm coelacanth∅: love this song
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: pretty balerina
	10:15pm ParUbi: There's a spider in my downstairs bathroom, smaller than the head of a match. Tiny. There always seems to be one.
	10:16pm Sam Segal: Got a name for that there spider, ParUbi?
	10:17pm ParUbi: That's a good idea. Not yet. Whatever she eats must be even smaller than her.
	🥁 10:17pm WR: Those first 3 songs put me on edge, Alex Zhang Hungtai & Tseng Kuo Hung are mellowing me out.
	10:17pm ?: An unwarranted act of real-world aggression was commented by myself on this platform 2 weeks ago. This situation was dealt with and I sought the help I needed. Sorry for any anxiety or pressure it caused.
	10:17pm ParUbi: This track is beautiful
	10:18pm chresti: Spider Babies are hatching.
	10:18pm northguineahills: Yep, this is new to me, amazing (now I wish I had some eggs to make huevos rancheros...
	10:18pm Sam Segal: Glad to hear it, WR. We'll be keeping the vibe somewhat mellower for a spell here.
	10:19pm Sam Segal: Glad to have you back, ?! That isn't a question, by the way.
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: she's going to have to think of creative ways to pay her rent, being so small.
	🥁 10:19pm WR: Nice choice for playlist page photo. Reminds me of my youth in semi-rural west Texas.
	10:20pm ParUbi: I think I remember that, ?, and I'm glad you found help. Happy you're here.
	10:20pm TDK60: I'm going to have to think of creative ways of paying rent too.
	10:20pm coelacanth∅: it's okay ?, i hope you're okay.
	10:21pm Chris Farrell: Wild horses seem to roam away. So I sought the comfort of the common peregrine falcon. But as the 7 drunken nights work I was forced to abandon my peregrine falcon due to the nature of humans and falcons stark contrast.
	10:21pm chresti: Is there a moratorium on evictions in NY? TDK60
	10:21pm TDK60: I already told WFMU that my yearly donation is definitely going to be late.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: (you should make a profile though, or sign into it...so posts like that don't seem like trolling. just my opinion though.)
	10:22pm TDK60: Not sure, Chresti..
	10:23pm Sam Segal: I believe Cuomo has called a moratorium on evictions in NY, but what he needs to do is freeze rent, which he has been resistant to thus far.
	10:24pm Sam Segal: @WR, here's the photo caption: "Transmission lines near Salton Sea. Hazy sun is caused by smog from district Los Angeles, May 1972."
	10:24pm Sam Segal: @Chris, you'll get that falcon back someday, I trust.
	10:25pm ParUbi: @chresti-- (10:18)-- I think she may be full grown. She's been there for months.
	10:25pm TDK60: yeh Sam, a rent freeze is due. Renters I know have been talking about it but in an iffy manner.
	10:26pm coelacanth∅: she must be eating someone
	10:27pm ParUbi: Little mites? Dust mites.
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: my landlord is very considerate; but he doesn't have much reserve funds. if he doesn't get the rent, he's in trouble.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: gnats...
	10:29pm Sam Segal: @Coel, I think that's why its pivotal that everyone get a bailout right now. Renters and homeowners.
	10:30pm Carmichael: Heya Sam and all from the other epicenter, California.
	10:31pm chresti: I try to leave spiders be, for that reason, so they catch little biting bugs.
	10:31pm Sam Segal: Epicenter dwellers represent! Heya, Carmichael.
	10:32pm TDK60: My landlord is not small and I have little sympathy for them.
	10:32pm Chris Farrell: @coel- I agree it was an act of aggression that a solution exist for (and crosses borders into lives unknown to the person experiencing the crisis). Luckily, I was up playing my bagpipes and re assembled the situation. Along with current chat: there was gnarly case of dust in my old establishment it was never dealt with until I moved out, now I have the occasional flutter of dust almost reminiscently reminding me of the dangers of preemptive nostalgia.
	10:33pm JakeGould: First, hello Sam! And as far as rent goes, I think people in cut-throat cities need to be very careful. One tactic that scummy landlords in gentrifying neighborhoods use is to let people be behind in rent for a few months. Renters feel good, but legally the landlord then has the right to say, “Owes back rent… Kick them to the curb…” It happens a lot more in retail, but it happens. I think everyone needs a genuine bailout now. And $1,200 that will be taxed (!!!) is really pathetic. I mean the money will help. But still…
	10:34pm chresti: That's not a welcome thought, earthquakes.
	10:35pm ParUbi: I was terrified of spiders as a kid, but a flip got switched somewhere along the line. Now I'm a big fan.
	10:37pm Sam Segal: Certainly wouldn't put that kind of behavior past my landlord, Jake. That's good advice. I also think people need to start forming tenants unions as soon as possible so that we have the kind of support networks that make it possible to safely and credibly threaten rent strikes.
	10:37pm Carmichael: Earthquakes. ‘Nuff said.
	10:38pm coelacanth∅: gardening and working outside and in basements etc will change one's tolerance of spiders. but even when i was fairly scared of them i'd make myself save and relocate them.
	🥁 10:39pm WR: G'night all. Falling asleep here.
	10:39pm Sam Segal: Night, WR!
	10:39pm Carmichael: Just now looking at the set list. Thanks for the Left Banke, one of my go to’s.
	🥁 10:41pm WR: PS: thank you Sam for the great tracks. Totally chilled me out after long hectic day.
	10:42pm chresti: At work, there's black widows to watch out for, around the toilets and stuff. Night WR.
	10:42pm Sam Segal: That's what I'm here for, WR!
	10:42pm JakeGould: In general I think people should just support each other even as little as morally nowadays. Don’t have an explicit plan but just be ready to help. My last landlord was very well connected to the local community board and despite being in the place for 12+ years and actually doing light maintenance around the building when they wouldn’t — and always paying rent on time — they treated me like crap when I broke the lease. The thing is they jacked up the rent for the same place by like 40% after I left and knew they would find someone. So they were nasty and mean to just be that way. Ultimate scum. Never trust NYC landlords. My current place is truly rent stabilized and the owners and super is tons better. Neighbors nicer too. But still: Know your rights.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: Chris, i never considered it an act of aggression. those are the person's words. i just thought it was likely trolling. not a regular wfmu person; maybe one of the (few) people who come on using a variety of names, looking for attention or just to ruin others' good time, out of jealousy. if the person had shown a profile or even a name i probably would've lost a lot of sleep over it. because then it's family. ...and maybe it is family.
	10:46pm Sam Segal: Glad you ended up finding a better place, Jake. My unit used to be rent stabilized, but the landlord figured out some loop hole to take it out of stabilization before I moved in. Been in the place for 2.5 years now, and they've only raised the rent $50 since I moved in, but when the next lease starts in August they're jacking it up another $100. Could be worse though.
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: .in any case i realise it was a real call for help and i hope the person stays strong.
	10:47pm Sam Segal: You are truly one of the greats, Coel. Same to you, Chris.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: gnight WR
	10:48pm TDK60: Some folks have lost jobs while others still work, some at home; so, split economic situations. But it may get worse overall.
	10:48pm chresti: Family of the Greats
	10:50pm Carmichael: Hate to say it, but in 30 days some people will be SOL financially.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: my only way to pay the next rent is to not pay the taxes i owe. then i will remain without health insurance and should expect no "stimulus" help.
	10:52pm ParUbi: I hope just financially
	10:52pm doctorjazz: Hi, late to the party, here for a bit.
	10:52pm ParUbi: Though not even that, of course
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: greetings doctor
	10:54pm TDK60: ok, going for a short night walk, back soon...
	10:56pm ParUbi: Bringing your boxing-glove and broomstick?
	10:56pm chresti: Have a good walk, wear the monster mask, TDK60
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: know your fake made-up language responses in case someone hits on you
	11:02pm Sam Segal: Doc! You always know when the jazz is near.
	11:03pm chresti: Yer already doing your part by being here/there , providing musical comfort and company, Sam.
	11:03pm doctorjazz: Got a 6th sense.
	11:04pm Chris Farrell: In times of turmoil don’t turn to the tinfoil has been a helping phrase to me. My picture of Alan Watts reminds me this is all one big magical accident. Quick story: I used to have posters all over my wall in my room at the house I grew up in. Some of greats at the time, jay and silent bob Grateful Dead sublime etc. After years of disobeying my parents and chasing something that wasn’t meant to be, I came home to a room with no posters on the walls. Just white walls and no door. Sort of a sign I needed to change. I had been wanting to share pre-COVID. And also ask if anyone has any thoughts about the flaming lips trajectory as a band?
	11:06pm doctorjazz: You tell em, Pharoah!
	11:08pm ParUbi: The Big White Wall has many lessons
	11:08pm Chris Farrell: @coel- fake-language responses, Ha! That is up there with your Truman Show comment. Which I’ve labeled my gold standard.
	11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Chris, Your parents didn't like your taste in wall art or was that just an aspect of something more troubling?
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: Chris Thanks -i don't remember the truman show comment at all though! (although i can guess) and chresti deserves the credit for the made-up fake language idea
	11:14pm Chris Farrell: I think it was a message that “my wall art” was more so me putting stuff on their walls. A symbol that I can’t go and act and do whatever I want without repercussions. I briefly had an atlas up after that and have now just grown to embrace the white walls as a blank canvas. Needless to say when and if I get my own place there will not be a single white wall in the house.
	11:15pm chresti: Did they save them?
	11:16pm Chris Farrell: No not to my knowledge. They could be buried somewhere! Knowing my mom she loves a good hometown mystery.
	11:18pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I guess it was a territorial and control issue. That is to bad.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: i had a highly adorned bedroom as a teenager. ever-increasing and shifting things to see for the amusement of my visitors. now it follows my compositional inclinations. a few photographs i took, a few paintings by someone i know. refrigerator magnets, a monkey hanging from the ceiling...
	11:32pm TDK60: Back from a walk. A few bodegas open, pizza delivery bicyclists; one encounter with a smart phone zombie who got too close. A few walkers but Washington Hts. mainly empty, quiet, eerie, spacious.
	11:34pm Chris Farrell: Yeah, looking back I like to think of it as a good form of downsizing and preparation. The atlas (for the time it was up) served me very well, I would spend minutes at a time getting a feel for the lay of land. My failure to launch has provided me with all the amenities and Absences that I would have expected.
	11:36pm TDK60: my patience for smart phone zombies is wafer thin these days..
	11:36pm Sam Segal: Thanks for the report from outside the wire, TDK. The bodegas in my neighborhood are all open as well. It has certainly been more quiet recently, but there are still a lot of people gathering in the park and hanging out on stoops. I imagine the streets are pretty dead at this hour though.
	11:38pm TDK60: Sam, much more dead than usual, even for a Wed. at Eleven pm.
	11:38pm Chris Farrell: Are smart phone zombies people on phones when they walk?
	11:38pm chresti: Maybe have a large flag to wave and blinking lights to ward off phone zombies.
	11:40pm Chris Farrell: Music has been spot on for me tonight. A great set. I missed last week due to lack of being outside and working, days started to blend together.
	11:41pm Sam Segal: Same here on the days starting to blend together, Chris. Glad you're enjoying the sounds.
	11:41pm Carmichael: I gotta dip, as I got slaughtered at work before I even got there. Later gators.
	11:41pm TDK60: Chris F. Yes, they are people who look at their gizmos while walking, who appear to be on a trajectory for yourself.
	11:42pm chresti: Later Carmichael.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: i used to have a large map in my bathroom in my last apartment. one side was "the political world" and the side i faced out was "the real world" -from when national geographic stuck maps in the magazines now and then. i'd spend lots of time just standing there, studying. it also had statistics about flora, fault lines, wind currents etc
	11:43pm Sam Segal: Be well, Carmichael!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: TDK i too, about the phone zombies 'night Carm
	11:47pm coelacanth∅: i have just stopped to wait for the phone zombie to crash into me more than once. i guess i wont be pulling that stunt for a while.
	11:48pm Chris Farrell: Thanks for the heads up TDK, any bits of social cues I can pick up on before going to a big city will be very helpful. Don’t really use my phone much but I have an unhealthy habit of taking it out to feel “busy important” to use my own term to describe how I see my generation (millennial/Gen Z) @coel- that sounds like my kind of studying. I used to have different methods of looking at the map.
	11:50pm Chris Farrell: Boxer- the horse from animal farm. Got it before I had to ask the dot com
	11:51pm TDK60: I had a flashlight with me, should've used it to alert them..
	11:51pm chresti: Haha coel, they bump into you, go tsk, and walk away?
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: As a teenager I was single minded in my need to obliterate blank wall space. Many years have passed. In our house today, each room is a different color. With the exception of a calendar from a Mexican supermarket in the laundry room, there are no pictures on the walls...they are all on the floor.
	11:52pm TDK60: This John Luther Adams is good, soothing at the end of a bleh day.
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: if we collide they usually say i'm sorry then keep on; more often they see me at the very last second, stop, walk around me without saying anything.
	11:55pm TDK60: Thanks Sam. Ridin' back out to the ranch; till then...
	11:55pm Dean: Buddy of mine made a movie featuring John Luther Adams, The Reach of Resonance. Well worth viewing if you have a chance: https://www.steveelkins.net/Publications-and-Exhibitions/The-Reach-Of-Resonance/
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: Franco i never had a concept for my room, as a teen, but i collected more and more interesting (at least whilst tripping or whatever) things that i needed to find space for.
	11:57pm Chris Farrell: Night everyone, to graze and roam. Till the next we stud horse be with two
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: i collected beer and booze paraphernalia, along with everything else.
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Good night Sam and collected humans.
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Sam! take care and good night everyone
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Sam! Goodnight everybody!
	12:03am chresti: A guy my dad met at a bar gave us a stack of 45s that I decorated my room with.

My last landlord was very well connected to the local community board and despite being in the place for 12+ years and actually doing light maintenance around the building when they wouldn’t — and always paying rent on time — they treated me like crap when I broke the lease. The thing is they jacked up the rent for the same place by like 40% after I left and knew they would find someone. So they were nasty and mean to just be that way. Ultimate scum. Never trust NYC landlords. My current place is truly rent stabilized and the owners and super is tons better. Neighbors nicer too. But still: Know your rights.
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: Chris, i never considered it an act of aggression. those are the person's words. i just thought it was likely trolling. not a regular wfmu person; maybe one of the (few) people who come on using a variety of names, looking for attention or just to ruin others' good time, out of jealousy. if the person had shown a profile or even a name i probably would've lost a lot of sleep over it. because then it's family. ...and maybe it is family.
	10:46pm Sam Segal: Glad you ended up finding a better place, Jake. My unit used to be rent stabilized, but the landlord figured out some loop hole to take it out of stabilization before I moved in. Been in the place for 2.5 years now, and they've only raised the rent $50 since I moved in, but when the next lease starts in August they're jacking it up another $100. Could be worse though.
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: .in any case i realise it was a real call for help and i hope the person stays strong.
	10:47pm Sam Segal: You are truly one of the greats, Coel. Same to you, Chris.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: gnight WR
	10:48pm TDK60: Some folks have lost jobs while others still work, some at home; so, split economic situations. But it may get worse overall.
	10:48pm chresti: Family of the Greats
	10:50pm Carmichael: Hate to say it, but in 30 days some people will be SOL financially.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: my only way to pay the next rent is to not pay the taxes i owe. then i will remain without health insurance and should expect no "stimulus" help.
	10:52pm ParUbi: I hope just financially
	10:52pm doctorjazz: Hi, late to the party, here for a bit.
	10:52pm ParUbi: Though not even that, of course
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: greetings doctor
	10:54pm TDK60: ok, going for a short night walk, back soon...
	10:56pm ParUbi: Bringing your boxing-glove and broomstick?
	10:56pm chresti: Have a good walk, wear the monster mask, TDK60
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: know your fake made-up language responses in case someone hits on you
	11:02pm Sam Segal: Doc! You always know when the jazz is near.
	11:03pm chresti: Yer already doing your part by being here/there , providing musical comfort and company, Sam.
	11:03pm doctorjazz: Got a 6th sense.
	11:04pm Chris Farrell: In times of turmoil don’t turn to the tinfoil has been a helping phrase to me. My picture of Alan Watts reminds me this is all one big magical accident. Quick story: I used to have posters all over my wall in my room at the house I grew up in. Some of greats at the time, jay and silent bob Grateful Dead sublime etc. After years of disobeying my parents and chasing something that wasn’t meant to be, I came home to a room with no posters on the walls. Just white walls and no door. Sort of a sign I needed to change. I had been wanting to share pre-COVID. And also ask if anyone has any thoughts about the flaming lips trajectory as a band?
	11:06pm doctorjazz: You tell em, Pharoah!
	11:08pm ParUbi: The Big White Wall has many lessons
	11:08pm Chris Farrell: @coel- fake-language responses, Ha! That is up there with your Truman Show comment. Which I’ve labeled my gold standard.
	11:09pm Franco Twinkie: Chris, Your parents didn't like your taste in wall art or was that just an aspect of something more troubling?
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: Chris Thanks -i don't remember the truman show comment at all though! (although i can guess) and chresti deserves the credit for the made-up fake language idea
	11:14pm Chris Farrell: I think it was a message that “my wall art” was more so me putting stuff on their walls. A symbol that I can’t go and act and do whatever I want without repercussions. I briefly had an atlas up after that and have now just grown to embrace the white walls as a blank canvas. Needless to say when and if I get my own place there will not be a single white wall in the house.
	11:15pm chresti: Did they save them?
	11:16pm Chris Farrell: No not to my knowledge. They could be buried somewhere! Knowing my mom she loves a good hometown mystery.
	11:18pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I guess it was a territorial and control issue. That is to bad.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: i had a highly adorned bedroom as a teenager. ever-increasing and shifting things to see for the amusement of my visitors. now it follows my compositional inclinations. a few photographs i took, a few paintings by someone i know. refrigerator magnets, a monkey hanging from the ceiling...
	11:32pm TDK60: Back from a walk. A few bodegas open, pizza delivery bicyclists; one encounter with a smart phone zombie who got too close. A few walkers but Washington Hts. mainly empty, quiet, eerie, spacious.
	11:34pm Chris Farrell: Yeah, looking back I like to think of it as a good form of downsizing and preparation. The atlas (for the time it was up) served me very well, I would spend minutes at a time getting a feel for the lay of land. My failure to launch has provided me with all the amenities and Absences that I would have expected.
	11:36pm TDK60: my patience for smart phone zombies is wafer thin these days..
	11:36pm Sam Segal: Thanks for the report from outside the wire, TDK. The bodegas in my neighborhood are all open as well. It has certainly been more quiet recently, but there are still a lot of people gathering in the park and hanging out on stoops. I imagine the streets are pretty dead at this hour though.
	11:38pm TDK60: Sam, much more dead than usual, even for a Wed. at Eleven pm.
	11:38pm Chris Farrell: Are smart phone zombies people on phones when they walk?
	11:38pm chresti: Maybe have a large flag to wave and blinking lights to ward off phone zombies.
	11:40pm Chris Farrell: Music has been spot on for me tonight. A great set. I missed last week due to lack of being outside and working, days started to blend together.
	11:41pm Sam Segal: Same here on the days starting to blend together, Chris. Glad you're enjoying the sounds.
	11:41pm Carmichael: I gotta dip, as I got slaughtered at work before I even got there. Later gators.
	11:41pm TDK60: Chris F. Yes, they are people who look at their gizmos while walking, who appear to be on a trajectory for yourself.
	11:42pm chresti: Later Carmichael.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: i used to have a large map in my bathroom in my last apartment. one side was "the political world" and the side i faced out was "the real world" -from when national geographic stuck maps in the magazines now and then. i'd spend lots of time just standing there, studying. it also had statistics about flora, fault lines, wind currents etc
	11:43pm Sam Segal: Be well, Carmichael!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: TDK i too, about the phone zombies 'night Carm
	11:47pm coelacanth∅: i have just stopped to wait for the phone zombie to crash into me more than once. i guess i wont be pulling that stunt for a while.
	11:48pm Chris Farrell: Thanks for the heads up TDK, any bits of social cues I can pick up on before going to a big city will be very helpful. Don’t really use my phone much but I have an unhealthy habit of taking it out to feel “busy important” to use my own term to describe how I see my generation (millennial/Gen Z) @coel- that sounds like my kind of studying. I used to have different methods of looking at the map.
	11:50pm Chris Farrell: Boxer- the horse from animal farm. Got it before I had to ask the dot com
	11:51pm TDK60: I had a flashlight with me, should've used it to alert them..
	11:51pm chresti: Haha coel, they bump into you, go tsk, and walk away?
	11:52pm Franco Twinkie: As a teenager I was single minded in my need to obliterate blank wall space. Many years have passed. In our house today, each room is a different color. With the exception of a calendar from a Mexican supermarket in the laundry room, there are no pictures on the walls...they are all on the floor.
	11:52pm TDK60: This John Luther Adams is good, soothing at the end of a bleh day.
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: if we collide they usually say i'm sorry then keep on; more often they see me at the very last second, stop, walk around me without saying anything.
	11:55pm TDK60: Thanks Sam. Ridin' back out to the ranch; till then...
	11:55pm Dean: Buddy of mine made a movie featuring John Luther Adams, The Reach of Resonance. Well worth viewing if you have a chance: https://www.steveelkins.net/Publications-and-Exhibitions/The-Reach-Of-Resonance/
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: Franco i never had a concept for my room, as a teen, but i collected more and more interesting (at least whilst tripping or whatever) things that i needed to find space for.
	11:57pm Chris Farrell: Night everyone, to graze and roam. Till the next we stud horse be with two
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: i collected beer and booze paraphernalia, along with everything else.
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Good night Sam and collected humans.
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Sam! take care and good night everyone
	11:59pm chresti: Thanks Sam! Goodnight everybody!
	12:03am chresti: A guy my dad met at a bar gave us a stack of 45s that I decorated my room with.
