	9:30pm Handy Haversack: And its moon, Piles, ultradamno.
	9:34pm ultradamno: It won't be his birthday anymore by then...
	9:34pm Joe D.: 100% want to hear Nate K's birthday tribute to Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh
	9:36pm Nate K.: @Joe D., I could do it!
	9:47pm ultradamno: This keeps threatening to turn into Beefheart's Dropout Boogie but never quite zeros in on it.
	9:52pm Aitch: He likes that chord a lot
	9:52pm tom: thought that gr record head was old and interesting, but its new and interesting
	9:53pm ultradamno: You find a chord you like, you stay loyal
	9:58pm Nate K.: @Joe D., not a Malcolm X track precisely, but a shout out to Fred Hampton.
	9:58pm Nate K.: @Tom, I assumed it was a reissue, too.
	9:59pm Steve in Sonoma: Diggin my rock n roll!
	10:00pm Nate K.: @Steve, that's what I try to do.
	10:01pm Joe D.: oh i picked up what you were putting down my man
	10:01pm mariano: You know what Pretty Things I haven't heard yet on FMU recently? Balloon Burning. Or maybe I missed it.
	10:02pm Joe D.: interesting how these English dudes from 1971 had the entire USA figured out for the next 40 years
	10:02pm Scott Williams: Damn all-pro ID there, Nate K!
	10:03pm Pogo78: Hey Nate, great show but I think that was blank space take it or leave it, not planet gong. I love fuck off records. Pleasant surprise hearing that on the mighty WFMU
	10:03pm ultradamno: There's a lot of Balloon Burning search results for last year though.
	10:03pm Joe D.: oooof that station ID. Don't hurt em Nate!!!
	10:04pm ultradamno: Yeah, they got the picture.
	10:05pm mariano: Oh really ultradamno? Well then harumph! ;)
	10:06pm ultradamno: I used to know these guys that would fill balloons with acetylene and drop them on lit cigarettes for the fourth of july. Yeah, I'm classy like that.
	10:08pm ParUbi: Hey guys
	10:09pm ultradamno: We'll be out of here before we know it sounds ominous, Nate.
	10:11pm ParUbi: "We'll all go together when we go"-- Tom Lehrer
	10:13pm ParUbi: Why do I have the feeling that the virus is this century's little appetizer.
	10:14pm Nate K.: @ultra, well, ya know . . .
	10:16pm JakeGould: They are already lighting fireworks for essential workers in deep Brooklyn.
	10:17pm CC: Oh yeah!!!...hi y'all...Nate!!!
	10:19pm ultradamno: So, generally, she's unstoppable.
	10:20pm ultradamno: ROS!!!
	10:23pm slugluv1313: good evening, Nate K. and everyone! @ mariano from-a-few-playlists-ago: yeah, total language geek myself -- looked up Malayalam, i remembered correctly that it was based in India, but did not know it was one of 22 languages there (geez the older i get, the more i realize how astoundingly ignorant i am of other languages) . . . this somehow led to bingeing out on endless versions of "Make Me Smile" -- ??!!
	10:24pm slugluv1313: oooo yes ROS! all from "Don't Think I've Forgotten" are amazing
	10:25pm ultradamno: And all those Cambodia(n) Rocks comps too.
	10:28pm Crystalllllll: This song is goodie
	10:29pm Scott Williams: Holy shit... where's Bob Destiny from??
	10:31pm Scott Williams: Ah, figured it out - the U.S.
	10:31pm Crystalllllll: Hi Scott
	10:31pm ignatatus666: I’m at the Warwick Drive in and get WoofMoo crystal clear This place is packed!!!
	10:31pm Scott Williams: Ohh, hey Crystal!! Didn't know it was you! HHiiii
	10:31pm JakeGould: @ScotW: Here you go! habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com... And this too: www.forcedexposure.com...
	10:32pm mariano: Heya slugluv! Yeah, I love those meandering paths through the web, you never know where your original question will take you. From Malayalam to "Make Me Smile" sounds like a very familiar path.
	10:32pm Scott Williams: I figured it out Jake, thanks
	10:32pm Nate K.: Scott, according to Forced Exposure catalog he's NuYorican, but moved to North Africa to teach. A serious dude.
	10:32pm JakeGould: Curses! Foiled again!
	10:33pm Nate K.: @Jake beat me to it. And...you beat me to it.
	10:33pm JakeGould: “In 1969, Bob went to Algeria to teach music at the Algerian National Theater. He also continued with his singing career while living there. In 1970, he released a couple of 45s featuring "Wang Dang" and "Mahna (Troubles)" on the Freedom Musique label.”
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey ! Peace Love & PowerChords
	10:36pm JakeGould: Everyone beat Nate to it.
	10:38pm slugluv1313: yes incredible stuff, have found some film clips on youtube, but tracking down the entire films has been difficult . . . like here is Sinn Sisamouth and Sieng Dy in Apsara from 1966: youtu.be... (even without subtitles, would love to see the entire movie!)
	10:41pm Nate K.: No one beats Nate, @Jake. : )
	10:43pm ultradamno: Dengue Fever, who essentially of course started as a tribute band of that kind of thing, made a really wonderful doc of their trip to Cambodia called Sleepwalking Through The Mekong, it doesn't contain any archival stuff, but it's great to see the footage of them interacting with the people and playing the music for them.
	10:44pm slugluv1313: damn that entire Habibi Funk series is incredible!
	10:46pm slugluv1313: @ ultradamno -- have seen Dengue Fever a number of times (one time at Monty Hall, when "Don't Think I've Forgotten" was released -- ahhh the good old days, of seeing live music!) but have yet to see this documentary -- thanks for the reminder! :)
	10:54pm ultradamno: If you play Human Hands next it would be human hand-eye coordination
	10:55pm JakeGould: Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha!
	10:56pm ultradamno: See, that's all I ask for.
	10:58pm slugluv1313: @ mariano -- right? perhaps the rabbit hole of being cooped up in the house too long, hah! and bored with trips to the grocery store! all kidding aside -- T. Rex, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople -- all had success here in the States, i still gotta wonder how/why Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel are still kinda unknown here :(
	10:58pm Nate K.: This is my yearly playing of the prog.
	10:59pm Scott Williams: Playing this Aphrodite's Child song is basically chanting "EFD... EFD.... EFD!!!"
	11:00pm javakid: EFD air drumming somewhere
	11:00pm rw: Hey hey hey.
	11:01pm Nate K.: Ha! I feel like I'm losing some kind of card playing this one, but gaining a new one with Evan. Hahaha.
	11:01pm slugluv1313: The Four Horsemen, one of my favorites from 666 when i was a kid (never had the LP but the local library did!) . . . somehow so totally cool for right now, "prog" or not :)
	11:01pm rw: It's a pretty great song regardless of the cards.
	11:02pm Scott Williams: No lost cards here, Nate - 666 is a killer record!
	11:02pm Nate K.: @rw, of course.
	11:03pm Nate K.: @Scott, indeed.
	11:07pm slugluv1313: Ace of Swords :)
	11:08pm Andrew S: Wire will always remind me of the beginning of the isolation daze. I had tickets to see them right on the cusp of when things locked down. I think they may have played brooklyn a couple of nights before unless that was cancelled as well but it was just as things got very real.
	11:17pm ParUbi: Finally. Dark Day!
	11:18pm ultradamno: Yeah, that man loves Bananarama
	11:19pm Joe B: loving that Stone Crush comp.
	11:20pm ultradamno: He is also elfin twitter.com...
	11:21pm Nate K.: Joe, yeah it's great. A little more "electro" than I usually go with funk and soul, but I'm really into it.
	11:22pm Joe B: Kick are apparently still playing! and "Right Thing" apparently goes for mad money in online auctions, so good thing it is in this reissue!
	11:23pm ultradamno: I have accidentally drawn blood from my person twice in 24 hours, that can't be a great omen.
	11:24pm Nate K.: Wow. I wonder if they tour or if it's just local/regional gigs.
	11:27pm ultradamno: It took me longer than I'm comfortable admitting to realize this is 1970
	11:28pm nodice: eat some molé?
	11:30pm Joe B: Nate, first thing on youtube is Kick in California last November so I guess they did play out of town, back when that thing existed
	11:32pm Sally: Hi all burning it down in style...Great show Nate! I took a long walk today and around 2/3 of the people weren't wearing face masks (I live in California where it's required supposedly). I keep trying to remind myself just to keep my distance. We can't control anyone else's behavior. I hope someday more people will be awakened and more empathetic, though... I have hope. The Aphrodite's Child song I really love from 666 is "Loud, Loud, Loud."
	11:34pm spodiodi: Scott Williams, many thanks!
	11:38pm ultradamno: I don't play much prog but when I do, I drink Dos...etc
	11:40pm SeanG: that set was great Nate!
	11:41pm Nate K.: @SeanG, thanks. I thought it worked.
	11:44pm ultradamno: Yet more new Wire coming soon pinkflag.greedbag.com...
	11:49pm ultradamno: Before I realized Labradford just hadn't started yet, just walking back into the room and referring to the playlist, I thought they might have embarked on a radically different artistic path.
	11:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Nate!
	11:58pm mariano: Thanks Nate and crew, see y'all at Tom's!
	11:58pm Sally: Happy birthday Tom! Thanks Nick and Scott!
	11:59pm ?: Happy Birthday, Tom!
	11:59pm TomDash: aww shucks...see ya in a minute...
	12:00am ?: Just an excellent show, thank you!

View Nate K.'s profile

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

Upcoming events:

Fri. Nov 8th, 9pm - Midnight: The Hard Quartet (More info...)
FOR REAL THIS TIME! With a mind-boggling combination of talent and a rock-and-roll pedigree that will leave your jaw on the floor, the members of the Hard Quartet likely need no introduction. But for the sake of due diligence, the band features Stephen Malkmus (Pavement, etc.), Matt Sweeney (Chavez, etc.), Jim White (The Dirty Three, etc.), and Emmet Kelly (Will Oldham, Ty Segall, etc.). We think that's all the info you need. They deliver a short set for BURN IT DOWN! on Friday, November 8.

May 19, 2020: The New Normal Week 3: "You can send a fool to college, but you can't make him think."

	10:33pm JakeGould: “In 1969, Bob went to Algeria to teach music at the Algerian National Theater. He also continued with his singing career while living there. In 1970, he released a couple of 45s featuring "Wang Dang" and "Mahna (Troubles)" on the Freedom Musique label.”
	10:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey ! Peace Love & PowerChords
	10:36pm JakeGould: Everyone beat Nate to it.
	10:38pm slugluv1313: yes incredible stuff, have found some film clips on youtube, but tracking down the entire films has been difficult . . . like here is Sinn Sisamouth and Sieng Dy in Apsara from 1966: youtu.be... (even without subtitles, would love to see the entire movie!)
	10:41pm Nate K.: No one beats Nate, @Jake. : )
	10:43pm ultradamno: Dengue Fever, who essentially of course started as a tribute band of that kind of thing, made a really wonderful doc of their trip to Cambodia called Sleepwalking Through The Mekong, it doesn't contain any archival stuff, but it's great to see the footage of them interacting with the people and playing the music for them.
	10:44pm slugluv1313: damn that entire Habibi Funk series is incredible!
	10:46pm slugluv1313: @ ultradamno -- have seen Dengue Fever a number of times (one time at Monty Hall, when "Don't Think I've Forgotten" was released -- ahhh the good old days, of seeing live music!) but have yet to see this documentary -- thanks for the reminder! :)
	10:54pm ultradamno: If you play Human Hands next it would be human hand-eye coordination
	10:55pm JakeGould: Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha! Haha!

	10:56pm ultradamno: See, that's all I ask for.
	10:58pm slugluv1313: @ mariano -- right? perhaps the rabbit hole of being cooped up in the house too long, hah! and bored with trips to the grocery store! all kidding aside -- T. Rex, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople -- all had success here in the States, i still gotta wonder how/why Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel are still kinda unknown here :(
	10:58pm Nate K.: This is my yearly playing of the prog.
	10:59pm Scott Williams: Playing this Aphrodite's Child song is basically chanting "EFD... EFD.... EFD!!!"
	11:00pm javakid: EFD air drumming somewhere
	11:00pm rw: Hey hey hey.
	11:01pm Nate K.: Ha! I feel like I'm losing some kind of card playing this one, but gaining a new one with Evan. Hahaha.
	11:01pm slugluv1313: The Four Horsemen, one of my favorites from 666 when i was a kid (never had the LP but the local library did!) . . . somehow so totally cool for right now, "prog" or not :)
	11:01pm rw: It's a pretty great song regardless of the cards.
	11:02pm Scott Williams: No lost cards here, Nate - 666 is a killer record!
	11:02pm Nate K.: @rw, of course.
	11:03pm Nate K.: @Scott, indeed.
	11:07pm slugluv1313: Ace of Swords :)
	11:08pm Andrew S: Wire will always remind me of the beginning of the isolation daze. I had tickets to see them right on the cusp of when things locked down. I think they may have played brooklyn a couple of nights before unless that was cancelled as well but it was just as things got very real.
	11:17pm ParUbi: Finally. Dark Day!
	11:18pm ultradamno: Yeah, that man loves Bananarama
	11:19pm Joe B: loving that Stone Crush comp.
	11:20pm ultradamno: He is also elfin twitter.com...
	11:21pm Nate K.: Joe, yeah it's great. A little more "electro" than I usually go with funk and soul, but I'm really into it.
	11:22pm Joe B: Kick are apparently still playing! and "Right Thing" apparently goes for mad money in online auctions, so good thing it is in this reissue!
	11:23pm ultradamno: I have accidentally drawn blood from my person twice in 24 hours, that can't be a great omen.
	11:24pm Nate K.: Wow. I wonder if they tour or if it's just local/regional gigs.
	11:27pm ultradamno: It took me longer than I'm comfortable admitting to realize this is 1970
	11:28pm nodice: eat some molé?
	11:30pm Joe B: Nate, first thing on youtube is Kick in California last November so I guess they did play out of town, back when that thing existed
	11:32pm Sally: Hi all burning it down in style...Great show Nate! I took a long walk today and around 2/3 of the people weren't wearing face masks (I live in California where it's required supposedly). I keep trying to remind myself just to keep my distance. We can't control anyone else's behavior. I hope someday more people will be awakened and more empathetic, though... I have hope. The Aphrodite's Child song I really love from 666 is "Loud, Loud, Loud."
	11:34pm spodiodi: Scott Williams, many thanks!
	11:38pm ultradamno: I don't play much prog but when I do, I drink Dos...etc
	11:40pm SeanG: that set was great Nate!
	11:41pm Nate K.: @SeanG, thanks. I thought it worked.
	11:44pm ultradamno: Yet more new Wire coming soon pinkflag.greedbag.com...
	11:49pm ultradamno: Before I realized Labradford just hadn't started yet, just walking back into the room and referring to the playlist, I thought they might have embarked on a radically different artistic path.
	11:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Nate!
	11:58pm mariano: Thanks Nate and crew, see y'all at Tom's!
	11:58pm Sally: Happy birthday Tom! Thanks Nick and Scott!
	11:59pm ?: Happy Birthday, Tom!
	11:59pm TomDash: aww shucks...see ya in a minute...
	12:00am ?: Just an excellent show, thank you!
