	10:08pm tfunk: Nothing wrong with shoegaze
	10:08pm phat: I'm here for it.
	10:08pm spodiodi: hi again, Jeff Conklin gaze away please

	10:11pm Jeff Conklin: fwymusic.bandcamp.com...
	10:12pm MollyRose: i think i may have to it up..

	10:12pm MollyRose: pick***!!
	10:12pm Saul Wright: Gotta mix it up once in a while
	10:13pm Jeff Conklin: True. The all reggae/dub show is closer than ever....
	10:13pm spodiodi: apocopopackackackackackackackackackackackaackackackackack
	10:14pm phat: I've been digging on some dub lately. rarely a mistake. I'm loving this set.
	10:14pm Jeff Conklin: This new Arbouretum is probably the best thing theyve done.
	10:16pm brendangen: Wild start, Jeff. This is is great
	10:16pm Aimee: ^ Into it!
	10:16pm slugluv1313: hiya, Jeff and everyone! in the middle of doing a buncha stuff, but lurking and loving the tunes :)
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: I just realized...Vacant Gardens --> Arbouretum haha
	10:17pm MollyRose: DAMN! The Vacant Gardens LP is sold out on band camp!
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: I saw Pat Metheny at an arbouretum.
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: Yeah the VG vinyl is sold out :/
	10:18pm Joe B: digging this arbouretum track
	10:18pm brendangen: i had a wild experience where Pat Metheny was advertised to me on the MSG boards as i was drinking bud lights waiting for Phish and thinking about how I'd save money and time to see Pat after that
	10:19pm TDK60: flowing along with clean chafed hands...
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Me too, Joe.
	10:20pm slugluv1313: and yeah, early Sonic Youth freaking amazing (think the first time i saw them was in 1983? '85? at a series called "Music for Dozens," Wednesday evenings, i think -- three bands for three dollars at Folk City)
	10:20pm Saul Wright: This rips
	10:20pm Jeff Conklin: Well did you see Pat after that? (Also, Junta and Lawn Boy have heavy Metheny vibes, PH used to cover Phase Dance in the early days)
	10:21pm Vince M: Digging that fuzzy tone
	10:21pm mariano: Ditto on the praise for Arbouretum. Wow!
	10:21pm neck: Newer listener tuning in from MN. This is definitely groovin
	10:21pm Jeff Conklin: Damn a lot of you saw SY in the early days..
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: Hello new and old commenters. I can't keep up
	10:22pm brendangen: Yes, I saw Metheny at Beacon Theater in 2017 after Phish. The influence was clear, but the vibes at MSG were not very clear
	10:22pm CC: Nice guitar!!!
	10:22pm Franco Twinkie: This is mind meltingly good.
	10:22pm TDK60: I saw SY during their Sister tour. My Daydream Nation cassette still works, and my hands are clean.
	10:23pm pantz: Electric bills are next on the agenda. I can't believe the cycling world came to this
	10:24pm pantz: *cyc!ing = fucking.
	10:25pm Aitch: SY finished a festival in Sydney 1993 doing I wanna be your dog, with Iggy singing, along with Nick Cave and most of the Bad Seeds playing. Iggy had his dick out too....now that was an encore
	10:26pm Will G: Vacant Gardens>Arbouretum>Through the Garden Realize its band, band, track name but you looking to get out of the house? :)
	10:26pm CC: yeah... this is what it is!!!
	10:26pm brendangen: remember that SY showin like 2003 at Central Park? That was great
	10:26pm chresti: Love dis.
	10:26pm pp: TV
	10:27pm mb: This is not the WJeffMU im used to on Sundays. I likey. I likey alot.
	10:27pm Jeff Conklin: I want to say its coincidence with the titles but I think it was subconscious
	10:27pm upstate sean: yes
	10:27pm dee cee: great groove going down - keep it up ;)!
	10:27pm upstate sean: killin
	10:29pm ParUbi: Such a good set
	10:29pm kham: Was just listening to this Feelies earlier tonight!
	10:29pm Scott Williams: Hey Jeff, and listening friends! Great albeit surprising opening set! WFMU loves surprises and frustrated expectations
	10:29pm ParUbi: Still recovering from Nate's ZZ Top, @Scott
	10:29pm phat: damn. feelies
	10:29pm Jeff Conklin: HOW HAS THIS SONG NEVER BEEN PLAYED ON WFMU IN THE LAST 20 YEARS??
	10:30pm TDK60: Is that a fact? huh..
	10:30pm Scott Williams: Jeff, Seriously?!?
	10:30pm CC: we're unhooking from the stereo and just listening by the bedside on the phone speaker now...g'night all!!!
	10:30pm mariano: What, this Feelies song? No way, that's hard to believe.
	10:30pm Joe B: you left out the It's in the song title!
	10:31pm Jeff Conklin: @Scott: Unless I typed it wrong in the playlist search...
	10:31pm Jeff Conklin: @Joe B: AHHHHH
	10:31pm Scott Williams: Ahh, Jeff you gotta search IT'S only life - you'll find 5 plays, including one from yours truly!
	10:31pm John Allen: Jeff, try google
	10:31pm Vince M: The Feelies definitely kinged it
	10:31pm Scott Williams: AND Joe B ^^ , haha
	10:32pm Joe B: well this is fucked up - Scott, you and I both played it on May 2, 2016!
	10:32pm tfunk: I was at the Metheny and Phish shows in summer 2017. They were about two months apart from each other
	10:32pm Jeff Conklin: John Allen's first ever appearance on my chat to throw shade. Typical
	10:32pm rambutan: Feelies--the Bats is a perfect segue! Killer set so far.
	10:33pm John Allen: xo
	10:33pm Jeff Conklin: <3
	10:33pm chresti: Haha
	10:33pm Scott Williams: Oh shit, Joe B! Wow... hopefully we didn't do the same segue. (I occasionally had to look at Liz Berg's playlist from Monday morning before doing a segue - saved my ass once or twice!)
	10:34pm Joe B: hmm, so would It's Only Life count as a title cut for an album called Only Life? #minutiae
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: Get a chat room, you two.
	10:34pm Joe B: yes, great segue to the Bats!
	10:34pm Scott Williams: Joe B, you're edging closer to Gaylord Fields territory there!
	10:35pm Joe B: sounds like a McGasko premium CD idea - near-miss title cuts
	10:35pm Jeff Conklin: Joe B is the only one here who has played The Windbreakers....
	10:35pm glue_horizon: diggin this set!
	10:35pm pgalub: Feelies to Bats to Windbreakers- I'm in heaven!
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: Was just gonna say that I know this band from Joe's show.
	10:36pm Gaylord Fields: I had a Bats song that I took out of tonight's show because it pushed it overtime. Get out of my head, all of you!
	10:36pm chresti: Is it verboten to play the same song on the same day?
	10:36pm Joe B: I have had one Windbreaker on the show (Tim Lee, though would welcome Bobby of course if he were ever around here)
	10:37pm phat: damn
	10:37pm Joe B: chresti apparently not. just thought it was weird that we're both here talking about the song and then that stat was discovered
	10:37pm Jeff Conklin: I just learned about these guys thanks to a tweet. I love this record, been listening all week. Other ones good?
	10:38pm Joe B: Played Windbreakers plenty on my previous stations back in the stone age 20th century
	10:38pm Jeff Conklin: @Gaylord: Next week! they have a lot of great tunes, as you know...
	10:38pm Phillippe Bastille: Is this a cover? I know the song, but don't recognize the band name
	10:38pm sufferwords: did a show in Texas with Gibby and Buttholes and SY- SY were posing NY style- it didn’t play well with any of us players- always held a grudge about that- but that one tune ripped
	10:38pm ParUbi: “When two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention.”
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: The Bats!?! Are those the guys that are causing all the mayhem?
	10:39pm Joe B: I'd say Terminal is the best but as Michael Bolton said in office space, I kinda like 'em all
	10:39pm Gaylord Fields: @chresti: Not at all. As I like to say about WFMU shows, it's not what so much as how. These master programmers can contextualize songs in surprising ways.
	10:39pm Uncle Michael: plate/shrimp
	10:40pm pgalub: @Jeff I really like all I've heard, esp. "At Home With Bobby And Time" and also really like Bobby Sutliff's solo album "Only Ghosts Remain" as well.
	10:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I might segue this whole playlist of songs in 30 seconds just to prove Gaylord's point.
	10:41pm Gary: @brendangen. Sun Ra opened. 4th of July The last time I would see Sun Ra.
	10:41pm Jeff Conklin: I'll be digging in further for sure. 80s jangle is my preferred spring soundtrack
	10:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeff: Oh, it pained me to take out the Bats song I intended to play, but it will be the linchpin of a set next week, I promise. And besides, what you just did with them was masterful!
	10:42pm Joe B: Can't go wrong with any Bobby Sutliff material
	10:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Kenzo: You're on! I'll be listening.
	10:43pm Jeff Conklin: @Kenzo: HAHA
	10:43pm mariano: Joe B @10:39: I'm like you. Personally, I celebrate the man's entire catalog.
	10:44pm Uncle Michael: I'mma let you finish, Jeff. But you've seen the last of my text for the night. Keep the music coming. Night, all.
	10:44pm Joe B: bye UM, stay safe
	10:45pm Jeff Conklin: Peace, UM
	10:45pm chresti: Night UM.
	10:45pm mariano: Take care UM.
	10:45pm Joe B: mariano, yes!
	10:45pm ParUbi: Sleep well, UM
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: Sweet dream Michael.
	10:45pm Jeff Conklin: Tried to work a True West song into this set but didnt work out.
	10:46pm Chop Scott: Great set Jeff--sounding good. Cheers all!!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: True West into Thin White Rope to wreck the house.
	10:48pm strangesongs: killer set tonight
	10:48pm TDK60: Huh Franco saw, T.W.R. in '88? spooky western sound.
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: I want to take a shower but I can't get loose!
	10:49pm Jeff Conklin: So, as I was playing this song yesterday, I texted a friend about it as he worked for Flying Nun when it came out. Just now my dad texts me (hes listening right now) and asks if ive ever from the Flying Nun friend. Whoa
	10:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Love this set, Jeff!
	10:50pm Phillippe Bastille: @Franco you need a stereo on the shower. I have one.
	10:50pm acid casualty: Love everything do far. Havent heard the bats in a minnit.
	10:50pm sboston: The Lung on the Avant Ghetto? What is this? A crossover episode? or am I just dreaming?
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: I think staying at home agrees with you,Jeff.
	10:51pm MollyRose: i'm digging the vibe tonight
	10:51pm Jeff Conklin: 25th anniversary of Alien Lanes. I blew it...
	10:52pm Joe B: wow, flying nun vibes far reaching!
	10:53pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, MollyRose!
	10:53pm Vince M: Jangle. I’m always learning new things in the AV
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: Sometimes I think the '80's were a blot, but then I remember the shows I went to.
	10:54pm TDK60: dig that SST hardcore-mutating-into hippy noise.
	10:57pm mb: Enough of this jangle. Lets get to chooglin'
	10:58pm Chris H: Sonic Youth, Feelies and the Bats in one set? What did I do to deserve this Jeff?
	10:59pm Chris H: And David Kilgour?!?!
	11:00pm brendangen: nothing beats j mascis
	11:02pm WR: Thank you for the Sunday night sounds. I'm fading so saying, I'm out for now.
	11:02pm mariano: This Silverstein is reminding me very much of another song and I can't figure it out. The main part, I mean. Papa M maybe?
	11:02pm herb.nyc: ooh, that Windbreakers brought me back (as I sip my geritol)
	11:03pm blythest: love this set!
	11:03pm sadiwn: Tuning in for second set (was group watching Neil with Jarnow on twitter) and man what a set full of favorites in the first half...
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: Hanging out inside drawing pictures and painting while listing to free form radio. That's how it started for me, and that's how it will probably end as well.
	11:04pm sadiwn: (please note Monday morning coffee archive listener half the time) Thanks as always Jeff!
	11:06pm Saul Wright: Was gonna watch Neil but the page wouldn’t load. I wonder if I’m blocked cause I’m in Chile.
	11:07pm Jeff Conklin: That Neil website is the biggest piece of shit on the internet.
	11:08pm sadiwn: true, we all saw how PONO went...
	11:09pm sboston: Is this Sky Burrow Tales tune unreleased?
	11:11pm MollyRose: no more Sky Burrow deets?
	11:13pm chresti: Love the Sky Burrow Tales track.
	11:14pm Jeff Conklin: Sorry, was getting ice cream. Full deetz now posted. SBT available here: featheredcoyoterecords.bandcamp.com...
	11:14pm spodiodi: what flavor?
	11:14pm Cavalier Record Store: I half drifted off during that first set, and in my lucid state I for some odd reason had the thought it was 2005 and I was listening to East Village Radio, and it brought back the memories of those days
	11:14pm Jeff Conklin: Mint Cookie Crumble!
	11:15pm spodiodi: enjoying the show
	11:15pm spodiodi: oooooh that sounds Deluxe
	11:15pm Hubig Pie: Spumoni , Spodiodi, what else ?
	11:15pm spodiodi: ha Hubig
	11:15pm Jeff Conklin: @Cavalier: Ha! You listened to us back then??
	11:17pm Jeff Conklin: True story: The reissue of this Franco Falsini used a scan of my copy for the cover as the label didn't have one in decent shape, nor did Falsini!
	11:18pm spodiodi: that's pretty cool. lucky for Franco :)
	11:18pm Joe B: that is cool
	11:18pm TDK60: great altitude now.
	11:20pm sadiwn: That's awesome. Much like that FJ McMahon Academy sold a few weeks back
	11:21pm zogboy: Greetings from Humboldt Jeff. Digging the show thus far...
	11:22pm MollyRose: Mendocino here, @zogboy :-)
	11:23pm mb: Thanks for putting in the 'work' Jeff C and also to Scott for making it happen. Peace peace peeps. Shoutouts to the West Coasters
	11:23pm Jon: Really loving this Spike. Reminds me of Wet Tuna a bit.
	11:25pm Roach n Lil Nasty: Loving both sets. Thanks for helping shake the quarantine blues and keeping your midwestern listeners connected with these jams.
	11:25pm Jeff Conklin: Jon wins the psychic listener of the evening award...
	11:26pm Jon: Haha
	11:26pm Jon: The collective unconscious is coming on strong tonight.
	11:26pm phat: turned some friends onto Wet Tuna on JQBX last week. Went over very well among my music nerdo friends
	11:27pm Cavalier Record Store: Jeff, yeah I streamed that a bunch. I can’t remember her name, but I used to be one of the hundred or so people VICE would send promos to for a couple years and I’d give me feedback to (I can’t remember her name) who had a show on there and she’s always tell me to listen. I also interviewed Veronica for tinymixtapes and had a small part with hooking her up with Peanut Butter Wolf to get the Minimal Wave comps on Stonesthrow.
	11:28pm Phillippe Bastille: 'bout that time for me. Good night, everyone. Thank you Jeff and skeleton. Stay safe everyone.
	11:30pm Jeff Conklin: Right on, Cav! Night, PB

	10:03pm Jeff Conklin: I've spoken about this often, but the sheer exhilaration I felt the first time I heard this has been rivaled by very few life experiences.
	10:03pm Franco Twinkie: Saw their possibly first show in L.A. in 1985.
	10:03pm Chris Wardell: Evening, Jeff. My favorite track off of my favorite SY album

	10:05pm Phillippe Bastille: Hey there mariano
	10:05pm mariano: Hey Phillippe, what's up.
	10:05pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...ditto. I saw him with Kozelek a few times in the past few years. He's just amazing.
	10:06pm ignatatus666: Truly thought it was the wrong station Good morning Sir

	10:06pm Carmichael: Heya Jeff.

	10:07pm Phillippe Bastille: @mariano me, barely
	10:07pm TDK60: Hello DJ Jeff and all ..
	10:08pm ZeeBee: Hey Jeff and listener friends! Checking in from my kitchen in NM, feeling the spring time social distancing memory lane heartache and happy to be listening to these tunes! Hope all are keeping well.
	10:08pm Jeff Conklin: This first hour may throw some people for a loop who dont know me pre-FMU
	10:08pm tfunk: Nothing wrong with shoegaze
	10:08pm phat: I'm here for it.
	10:08pm spodiodi: hi again, Jeff Conklin gaze away please
	10:09pm mariano: Yeah, same here Phillippe - I'm being a total schlub. For altruistic reasons of course.
	10:09pm Vince M: Stoked for the change up
	10:09pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I love loops
	10:09pm Joe B: Hey Jeff
	10:09pm Uncle Michael: I love Froot Loops.
	10:09pm spodiodi: howdy Kenzo
	10:09pm Jeff Conklin: Hey Joe! How you holding up brother?
	10:10pm Vince M: Zoomin
	10:10pm spodiodi: UM get outta my head

	10:10pm Jeff Conklin: This Vacant Gardens LP is STELLAR. Everyone should buy it on Bandcamp...

	10:10pm Tommy in Neversink: I too love this
	10:11pm Aitch: Feeling very Just Music Jeff, nice.
	10:11pm kham: Sunday night at WFMU is always moody broody no matter who is on. Just looked up this disc on bandcamp JEff sounds great.
	10:11pm Glorious Estephonic: loving this
	10:11pm Jeff Conklin: fwymusic.bandcamp.com...
	10:12pm MollyRose: i think i may have to it up..
	10:12pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): apocalypse pop
	10:12pm MollyRose: pick***!!
	10:12pm Saul Wright: Gotta mix it up once in a while
	10:13pm Jeff Conklin: True. The all reggae/dub show is closer than ever....
	10:13pm spodiodi: apocopopackackackackackackackackackackackaackackackackack
	10:14pm phat: I've been digging on some dub lately. rarely a mistake. I'm loving this set.
	10:14pm Jeff Conklin: This new Arbouretum is probably the best thing theyve done.
	10:16pm brendangen: Wild start, Jeff. This is is great
	10:16pm Aimee: ^ Into it!
	10:16pm slugluv1313: hiya, Jeff and everyone! in the middle of doing a buncha stuff, but lurking and loving the tunes :)
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: I just realized...Vacant Gardens --> Arbouretum haha
	10:17pm MollyRose: DAMN! The Vacant Gardens LP is sold out on band camp!
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: I saw Pat Metheny at an arbouretum.
	10:17pm Jeff Conklin: Yeah the VG vinyl is sold out :/
	10:18pm Joe B: digging this arbouretum track
	10:18pm brendangen: i had a wild experience where Pat Metheny was advertised to me on the MSG boards as i was drinking bud lights waiting for Phish and thinking about how I'd save money and time to see Pat after that
	10:19pm TDK60: flowing along with clean chafed hands...
	10:19pm Uncle Michael: Me too, Joe.
	10:20pm slugluv1313: and yeah, early Sonic Youth freaking amazing (think the first time i saw them was in 1983? '85? at a series called "Music for Dozens," Wednesday evenings, i think -- three bands for three dollars at Folk City)
	10:20pm Saul Wright: This rips
	10:20pm Jeff Conklin: Well did you see Pat after that? (Also, Junta and Lawn Boy have heavy Metheny vibes, PH used to cover Phase Dance in the early days)
	10:21pm Vince M: Digging that fuzzy tone
	10:21pm mariano: Ditto on the praise for Arbouretum. Wow!
	10:21pm neck: Newer listener tuning in from MN. This is definitely groovin
	10:21pm Jeff Conklin: Damn a lot of you saw SY in the early days..
	10:22pm Jeff Conklin: Hello new and old commenters. I can't keep up
	10:22pm brendangen: Yes, I saw Metheny at Beacon Theater in 2017 after Phish. The influence was clear, but the vibes at MSG were not very clear
	10:22pm CC: Nice guitar!!!
	10:22pm Franco Twinkie: This is mind meltingly good.
	10:22pm TDK60: I saw SY during their Sister tour. My Daydream Nation cassette still works, and my hands are clean.
	10:23pm pantz: Electric bills are next on the agenda. I can't believe the cycling world came to this
	10:24pm pantz: *cyc!ing = fucking.
	10:25pm Aitch: SY finished a festival in Sydney 1993 doing I wanna be your dog, with Iggy singing, along with Nick Cave and most of the Bad Seeds playing. Iggy had his dick out too....now that was an encore
	10:26pm Will G: Vacant Gardens>Arbouretum>Through the Garden Realize its band, band, track name but you looking to get out of the house? :)
	10:26pm CC: yeah... this is what it is!!!
	10:26pm brendangen: remember that SY showin like 2003 at Central Park? That was great
	10:26pm chresti: Love dis.
	10:26pm pp: TV
	10:27pm mb: This is not the WJeffMU im used to on Sundays. I likey. I likey alot.
	10:27pm Jeff Conklin: I want to say its coincidence with the titles but I think it was subconscious
	10:27pm upstate sean: yes
	10:27pm dee cee: great groove going down - keep it up ;)!
	10:27pm upstate sean: killin
	10:29pm ParUbi: Such a good set
	10:29pm kham: Was just listening to this Feelies earlier tonight!
	10:29pm Scott Williams: Hey Jeff, and listening friends! Great albeit surprising opening set! WFMU loves surprises and frustrated expectations
	10:29pm ParUbi: Still recovering from Nate's ZZ Top, @Scott
	10:29pm phat: damn. feelies
	10:29pm Jeff Conklin: HOW HAS THIS SONG NEVER BEEN PLAYED ON WFMU IN THE LAST 20 YEARS??
	10:30pm TDK60: Is that a fact? huh..
	10:30pm Scott Williams: Jeff, Seriously?!?
	10:30pm CC: we're unhooking from the stereo and just listening by the bedside on the phone speaker now...g'night all!!!
	10:30pm mariano: What, this Feelies song? No way, that's hard to believe.
	10:30pm Joe B: you left out the It's in the song title!
	10:31pm Jeff Conklin: @Scott: Unless I typed it wrong in the playlist search...
	10:31pm Jeff Conklin: @Joe B: AHHHHH
	10:31pm Scott Williams: Ahh, Jeff you gotta search IT'S only life - you'll find 5 plays, including one from yours truly!
	10:31pm John Allen: Jeff, try google
	10:31pm Vince M: The Feelies definitely kinged it
	10:31pm Scott Williams: AND Joe B ^^ , haha
	10:32pm Joe B: well this is fucked up - Scott, you and I both played it on May 2, 2016!
	10:32pm tfunk: I was at the Metheny and Phish shows in summer 2017. They were about two months apart from each other
	10:32pm Jeff Conklin: John Allen's first ever appearance on my chat to throw shade. Typical
	10:32pm rambutan: Feelies--the Bats is a perfect segue! Killer set so far.
	10:33pm John Allen: xo
	10:33pm Jeff Conklin: <3
	10:33pm chresti: Haha
	10:33pm Scott Williams: Oh shit, Joe B! Wow... hopefully we didn't do the same segue. (I occasionally had to look at Liz Berg's playlist from Monday morning before doing a segue - saved my ass once or twice!)
	10:34pm Joe B: hmm, so would It's Only Life count as a title cut for an album called Only Life? #minutiae
	10:34pm Uncle Michael: Get a chat room, you two.
	10:34pm Joe B: yes, great segue to the Bats!
	10:34pm Scott Williams: Joe B, you're edging closer to Gaylord Fields territory there!
	10:35pm Joe B: sounds like a McGasko premium CD idea - near-miss title cuts
	10:35pm Jeff Conklin: Joe B is the only one here who has played The Windbreakers....
	10:35pm glue_horizon: diggin this set!
	10:35pm pgalub: Feelies to Bats to Windbreakers- I'm in heaven!
	10:35pm Uncle Michael: Was just gonna say that I know this band from Joe's show.
	10:36pm Gaylord Fields: I had a Bats song that I took out of tonight's show because it pushed it overtime. Get out of my head, all of you!
	10:36pm chresti: Is it verboten to play the same song on the same day?
	10:36pm Joe B: I have had one Windbreaker on the show (Tim Lee, though would welcome Bobby of course if he were ever around here)
	10:37pm phat: damn
	10:37pm Joe B: chresti apparently not. just thought it was weird that we're both here talking about the song and then that stat was discovered
	10:37pm Jeff Conklin: I just learned about these guys thanks to a tweet. I love this record, been listening all week. Other ones good?
	10:38pm Joe B: Played Windbreakers plenty on my previous stations back in the stone age 20th century
	10:38pm Jeff Conklin: @Gaylord: Next week! they have a lot of great tunes, as you know...
	10:38pm Phillippe Bastille: Is this a cover? I know the song, but don't recognize the band name
	10:38pm sufferwords: did a show in Texas with Gibby and Buttholes and SY- SY were posing NY style- it didn’t play well with any of us players- always held a grudge about that- but that one tune ripped
	10:38pm ParUbi: “When two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention.”
	10:39pm Franco Twinkie: The Bats!?! Are those the guys that are causing all the mayhem?
	10:39pm Joe B: I'd say Terminal is the best but as Michael Bolton said in office space, I kinda like 'em all
	10:39pm Gaylord Fields: @chresti: Not at all. As I like to say about WFMU shows, it's not what so much as how. These master programmers can contextualize songs in surprising ways.
	10:39pm Uncle Michael: plate/shrimp
	10:40pm pgalub: @Jeff I really like all I've heard, esp. "At Home With Bobby And Time" and also really like Bobby Sutliff's solo album "Only Ghosts Remain" as well.
	10:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): I might segue this whole playlist of songs in 30 seconds just to prove Gaylord's point.
	10:41pm Gary: @brendangen. Sun Ra opened. 4th of July The last time I would see Sun Ra.
	10:41pm Jeff Conklin: I'll be digging in further for sure. 80s jangle is my preferred spring soundtrack
	10:41pm Gaylord Fields: @Jeff: Oh, it pained me to take out the Bats song I intended to play, but it will be the linchpin of a set next week, I promise. And besides, what you just did with them was masterful!
	10:42pm Joe B: Can't go wrong with any Bobby Sutliff material
	10:42pm Gaylord Fields: @Kenzo: You're on! I'll be listening.
	10:43pm Jeff Conklin: @Kenzo: HAHA
	10:43pm mariano: Joe B @10:39: I'm like you. Personally, I celebrate the man's entire catalog.
	10:44pm Uncle Michael: I'mma let you finish, Jeff. But you've seen the last of my text for the night. Keep the music coming. Night, all.
	10:44pm Joe B: bye UM, stay safe
	10:45pm Jeff Conklin: Peace, UM
	10:45pm chresti: Night UM.
	10:45pm mariano: Take care UM.
	10:45pm Joe B: mariano, yes!
	10:45pm ParUbi: Sleep well, UM
	10:45pm Franco Twinkie: Sweet dream Michael.
	10:45pm Jeff Conklin: Tried to work a True West song into this set but didnt work out.
	10:46pm Chop Scott: Great set Jeff--sounding good. Cheers all!!
	10:47pm Franco Twinkie: True West into Thin White Rope to wreck the house.
	10:48pm strangesongs: killer set tonight
	10:48pm TDK60: Huh Franco saw, T.W.R. in '88? spooky western sound.
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: I want to take a shower but I can't get loose!
	10:49pm Jeff Conklin: So, as I was playing this song yesterday, I texted a friend about it as he worked for Flying Nun when it came out. Just now my dad texts me (hes listening right now) and asks if ive ever from the Flying Nun friend. Whoa
	10:49pm Phillippe Bastille: Love this set, Jeff!
	10:50pm Phillippe Bastille: @Franco you need a stereo on the shower. I have one.
	10:50pm acid casualty: Love everything do far. Havent heard the bats in a minnit.
	10:50pm sboston: The Lung on the Avant Ghetto? What is this? A crossover episode? or am I just dreaming?
	10:50pm Franco Twinkie: I think staying at home agrees with you,Jeff.
	10:51pm MollyRose: i'm digging the vibe tonight
	10:51pm Jeff Conklin: 25th anniversary of Alien Lanes. I blew it...
	10:52pm Joe B: wow, flying nun vibes far reaching!
	10:53pm Jeff Conklin: Thanks, MollyRose!
	10:53pm Vince M: Jangle. I’m always learning new things in the AV
	10:53pm Franco Twinkie: Sometimes I think the '80's were a blot, but then I remember the shows I went to.
	10:54pm TDK60: dig that SST hardcore-mutating-into hippy noise.
	10:57pm mb: Enough of this jangle. Lets get to chooglin'
	10:58pm Chris H: Sonic Youth, Feelies and the Bats in one set? What did I do to deserve this Jeff?
	10:59pm Chris H: And David Kilgour?!?!
	11:00pm brendangen: nothing beats j mascis
	11:02pm WR: Thank you for the Sunday night sounds. I'm fading so saying, I'm out for now.
	11:02pm mariano: This Silverstein is reminding me very much of another song and I can't figure it out. The main part, I mean. Papa M maybe?
	11:02pm herb.nyc: ooh, that Windbreakers brought me back (as I sip my geritol)
	11:03pm blythest: love this set!
	11:03pm sadiwn: Tuning in for second set (was group watching Neil with Jarnow on twitter) and man what a set full of favorites in the first half...
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: Hanging out inside drawing pictures and painting while listing to free form radio. That's how it started for me, and that's how it will probably end as well.
	11:04pm sadiwn: (please note Monday morning coffee archive listener half the time) Thanks as always Jeff!
	11:06pm Saul Wright: Was gonna watch Neil but the page wouldn’t load. I wonder if I’m blocked cause I’m in Chile.
	11:07pm Jeff Conklin: That Neil website is the biggest piece of shit on the internet.
	11:08pm sadiwn: true, we all saw how PONO went...
	11:09pm sboston: Is this Sky Burrow Tales tune unreleased?
	11:11pm MollyRose: no more Sky Burrow deets?
	11:13pm chresti: Love the Sky Burrow Tales track.
	11:14pm Jeff Conklin: Sorry, was getting ice cream. Full deetz now posted. SBT available here: featheredcoyoterecords.bandcamp.com...
	11:14pm spodiodi: what flavor?
	11:14pm Cavalier Record Store: I half drifted off during that first set, and in my lucid state I for some odd reason had the thought it was 2005 and I was listening to East Village Radio, and it brought back the memories of those days
	11:14pm Jeff Conklin: Mint Cookie Crumble!
	11:15pm spodiodi: enjoying the show
	11:15pm spodiodi: oooooh that sounds Deluxe
	11:15pm Hubig Pie: Spumoni , Spodiodi, what else ?
	11:15pm spodiodi: ha Hubig
	11:15pm Jeff Conklin: @Cavalier: Ha! You listened to us back then??
	11:17pm Jeff Conklin: True story: The reissue of this Franco Falsini used a scan of my copy for the cover as the label didn't have one in decent shape, nor did Falsini!
	11:18pm spodiodi: that's pretty cool. lucky for Franco :)
	11:18pm Joe B: that is cool
	11:18pm TDK60: great altitude now.
	11:20pm sadiwn: That's awesome. Much like that FJ McMahon Academy sold a few weeks back
	11:21pm zogboy: Greetings from Humboldt Jeff. Digging the show thus far...
	11:22pm MollyRose: Mendocino here, @zogboy :-)
	11:23pm mb: Thanks for putting in the 'work' Jeff C and also to Scott for making it happen. Peace peace peeps. Shoutouts to the West Coasters
	11:23pm Jon: Really loving this Spike. Reminds me of Wet Tuna a bit.
	11:25pm Roach n Lil Nasty: Loving both sets. Thanks for helping shake the quarantine blues and keeping your midwestern listeners connected with these jams.
	11:25pm Jeff Conklin: Jon wins the psychic listener of the evening award...
	11:26pm Jon: Haha
	11:26pm Jon: The collective unconscious is coming on strong tonight.
	11:26pm phat: turned some friends onto Wet Tuna on JQBX last week. Went over very well among my music nerdo friends
	11:27pm Cavalier Record Store: Jeff, yeah I streamed that a bunch. I can’t remember her name, but I used to be one of the hundred or so people VICE would send promos to for a couple years and I’d give me feedback to (I can’t remember her name) who had a show on there and she’s always tell me to listen. I also interviewed Veronica for tinymixtapes and had a small part with hooking her up with Peanut Butter Wolf to get the Minimal Wave comps on Stonesthrow.
	11:28pm Phillippe Bastille: 'bout that time for me. Good night, everyone. Thank you Jeff and skeleton. Stay safe everyone.
