	9:12pm Libby’s Mom: Hello from the Streets of Baltimore
	9:13pm McGroovey: Now in my brain I'm hearing Motorhead covering As Long as I'm Moving. Did anyone else hear that? Yeah, i don't know. Now Motorhead is covering Streets of Baltimore. I dunno
	9:14pm vj pussycat: i find smoking (or eating) a little weed to be quite complimentary to ira the k's radio programs, especially in the last hour when things tend to get wonky in the best way. i hope that's ok.
	9:14pm DonJuanTijuana: Checking in Ira & Georgia! A little late to the party
	9:16pm Bruce S.: Lets face it it's quite complimentary to WFMU in general
	9:17pm Little Danny: Digging this.
	9:17pm yippie: now baltimore has a free purple bus if you are too tired walkin the streets
	9:18pm mark: Even after years working at Pravda. Never heard that Lesher nugget
	9:18pm Michael Shore: Just as I was thinking "'wonky,' VJP? 'Wonky???'" Bobby Bare vanished from the playlist. And I haven't even smoked anything. So like McG, I dunno.
	9:19pm georgia: i think the lines are open, i recommend calling ira to update the playlist.
	9:20pm Dayffid: Hey Ira and co!
	9:21pm Vince from Pearl: Greetings Ira, Georgia and everyone.My cat woke me up from a nap to tell me it was time for Ira. Let's go Mets!
	9:21pm georgia: Walker is on fire!
	9:22pm Ira: Are you caught up, Georgia? Don't want to give anything away (this week).
	9:22pm Dayffid: Just tuned in in and see I miss streets of Baltimore. Does anyone else feel that that song is like a blueprint for almost every Bruce Springsteen song?
	9:23pm Bruce S.: struck him out
	9:23pm vj pussycat: i'm just gonna go for it. i believe in ira.
	9:23pm Bruce S.: Lol Dayffid
	9:24pm georgia: Oh I love this El Michels Affair, thanks for playing it!
	9:24pm Dayffid: Not bashing by the way love the song and Bruce. Just an observation I was wondering if anyone else shared or disagreed with?
	9:25pm Dayffid: Bruce S - Is that you boss? Haha
	9:26pm Bruce S.: well springsteen did do streets of philadelphia, a homage?
	9:28pm Vince from Pearl: Georgia, 12 k's is indeed on fire!
	9:29pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: wonderful tune
	9:30pm Bruce S.: Big inning in the works
	9:31pm georgia: yes all caught up.
	9:31pm Dayffid: Bruce S - Yeah but also just the narrative format and the general sentiment seems to hold the template for most a lot of his songs.
	9:31pm Bruce S.: I love the xylaphone
	9:32pm E Gregious: If Ira plays the Dickies, Alonso will hit one out.
	9:32pm John L: I was supposed to watch a film at a friend's house. Plans got cancelled. Kinda happy about it since a part of me would rather be here. There's always tomorrow. Great opening set. Maybe I'll light up, too, vj pussycat.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: what a nice bunch of songs that I have mostly never heard before.
	9:34pm Bruce S.: Big inning went kaput
	9:35pm John L: Kat in Chicago, I agree. I just put the Jeff Lescher and Tin Foil in my Bandcamp cart. Special Juneteenth Bandcamp Friday this week, by the way.
	9:36pm Ira: Sorry, Bruce S., it's my fault for not playing the Dickies.
	9:36pm Bruce S.: Dayffid I definitly see what you mean Bruce Kind of captures that vibe in alot of his songs. Man alone in a cold city, working class etc. etc.
	9:37pm leshwatt: :-)~
	9:37pm Mikelark: That Other Houses track was great! Hello from Decatur, GA
	9:38pm vj pussycat: cheers john l. i'm pretty sure i made the right decision. at least so far...
	9:38pm TDK60: Evening Ira, radiofolk.
	9:39pm Dayffid: Bruce S - yeah you put it well
	9:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, Ira and irational listeners.
	9:40pm Bruce S.: Working class heartbreak
	9:40pm John L: vj pussycat, someone just gave me some edibles yesterday, but I'm hesitant to eat them this late since I don't know how potent they are. I'll just smoke for now.
	9:40pm Tommy in Neversink: I was waiting for some Waits
	9:41pm Bruce S.: Ira this is a super awesome set
	9:41pm Dayffid: Agreed! amazing set
	9:42pm leshwatt: Turn up the volume Don’t be caught with your drawers down
	9:42pm Michael Shore: Irational. I'm Irate I didn't think of that.
	9:42pm chresti: Hi Ira and maroons!
	9:43pm Tommy in Neversink: I changed into a nine year old hindu boy but I still had the same wife
	9:46pm Parq: Get away from me, kid, you bother me.
	9:46pm vj pussycat: smart move john l. if you have commitments tomorrow, it's best not to experiment with unknown doses. i often get hungover from good (strong) edibles too. best to be a responsible stoner
	9:48pm Gurldoggie: I like the story - maybe apocryphal? - that Frito Lay ripped off that Tom Waits song, and Waits then successfully sued Frito Lay for gazillions, which was what allowed him to reinvent his style and career.
	9:49pm Bruce S.: Great story, I hope it;s true
	9:50pm Hams: tcm's been knockin' it out of the park.
	9:50pm John L: vj pussycat, once I made Neil Young's recipe for something called honeyslides and I was stoned for 24 hours. Could barely make it through Christmas dinner. Not responsible that day.
	9:52pm Parq: The story is true. casetext.com...
	9:55pm Bruce S.: Thanks Parq thats great
	9:57pm northguineahills: I didn't know Sparks were a U of Maryland crowd (never heard Andover rhymed in song before).
	9:57pm Bruce S.: Seth Lugo
	9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Songs the Lawn Taught Us
	10:00pm Dayffid: Probably my two favorite lawnmower songs right there
	10:00pm Gurldoggie: That’s amazing Parq, thank you! Ask and ye shall receive.
	10:00pm Kat in Chicago: Are there a lot of songs about lawnmowers and lawn mowing? The only other one I can think of is "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe" by Genesis
	10:00pm Dayffid: Can’t think of any others though. 🤔
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: Brief lawnmowing reference in "Pleasant Valley Sunday"
	10:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buckadelic Baroque
	10:02pm mariano: I thought it was R. Lee Ermey at first. Hi Ira, everyone!
	10:02pm Kat in Chicago: This is a good one!
	10:02pm John L: Lawn Darts by Ed's Redeeming Qualities.
	10:02pm Dayffid: I think there was a Richard Thompson album with a picture of a lawn mower on the front but don’t think it actually featured in any song? Maybe it did?
	10:02pm northguineahills: George Jones should have done a lawnmowing song (he got a DUI on a ride-on lawnmower).
	10:02pm Michael Shore: good one Kat, re Genesis. "Lawn Chairs" by Our Daughter's Wedding, anyone? The Move's "I Can Hear the Grass Grow"?
	10:03pm pgalub: Whoa, that fuzz guitar solo was pretty unexpected and awesome! Hey everyone!
	10:03pm Dayffid: Oh just thought - is there a line about perfect lawns in Pleasant Valley Sunday?
	10:03pm Tommy in Neversink: Who's gonna mow your grass ...WOW
	10:04pm leshwatt: Great sets Ira. Never know what’s coming next!
	10:04pm Dayffid: Wait didn’t George Jones sing A Good Year for the roses? - “the lawn could use a little mowing...”
	10:05pm Bruce S.: Beach boys party was one of their best albums
	10:05pm Michael Shore: Louis Jordan. "5 Guys Named Mow."
	10:05pm northguineahills: Damnit, Dayffid, your memory bested mine! Kudos!
	10:07pm Bruce S.: Bo Didley mona
	10:07pm Dayffid: Haha - I think your subconscious was trying to remind you
	10:07pm Michael Shore: Mow betta, Bruce!
	10:09pm Chop Scott: Glad to have you ongoing for the Summer schedule Ira--Cheers!
	10:14pm Ira: Thanks, CS! Glad to be back. (And Bruce S., I agree wholeheartedly about Beach Boys' Party.)
	10:17pm Bruce S.: t it in the Books, Mets win a big one
	10:18pm Dayffid: Signing off early. Thanks for the jams!
	10:18pm Rick G: A certain notable band also has what looks like the product of a mower (or is it?!) as an LP gatefold photo…
	10:18pm absmiami: oh dear you played Back it Up and I tuned in late ill take my punishment now
	10:18pm Bruce S.: Take care Dayffid
	10:18pm georgia: that last inning was intense!
	10:19pm Bruce S.: Great play at the plate
	10:20pm vj pussycat: john l- i have def been there on more than one occasion, but i can't recall if neil young was involved
	10:21pm vj pussycat: i heart this set
	10:22pm Little Danny: Love this.
	10:24pm Gaylord Fields: @georgia: The Mets playing good defense is a shock to my system.
	10:24pm chresti: Thanks Parq. I'm still skeptical about the award hastening his reinvention part of the story..
	10:25pm McGroovey: Soupy was hip to where the kids were at. (He had a couple of hip kids himself.)
	10:25pm Bruce S.: Trini Lopez had a great band
	10:25pm Ms.Klara: Awesome! Soupy Sales was my main man when I was a kid!
	10:26pm phat in Lincoln: That bass!
	10:27pm Little Danny: Digging this Trini Lopez medley way more than I thought I would.
	10:27pm julie: The Immune System song ! My new totally obscure ira favorite!
	10:28pm georgia: Gaylord, yep canadian mono mix good!
	10:28pm HyperDose: Not to toot my own horn, but I brewed a pretty righteous batch of tea today
	10:28pm Ira: I know what you mean, Little Danny. When I looked at the lp jacket, I thought it was a straight cover of Cry Like a Baby, and wasn't into the concept of the medley. And then I heard it.
	10:29pm vj pussycat: i love how trini lopez' takes a totally different spin on that tune from say, is it donovan?
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: hello
	10:29pm absmiami: my laptop like mono ..
	10:29pm Ira: Georgia, AND it counts as my required Canadian content!
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: HyperD i'm jealous. i'm out of my main tea
	10:30pm Bruce S.: I think Trin Lopez did alot of great covers
	10:31pm vj pussycat: yea, he did
	10:32pm chresti: That guitar made a meow sound!
	10:32pm TDK60: That it did, chresti.
	10:33pm Kat in Chicago: Papa-oom-meow-meow
	10:33pm chresti: Ha Kat
	10:34pm Kat in Chicago: into Jaap Blonk. amazing
	10:35pm chresti: This goes with the back-up singing on Say You.
	10:36pm Gurldoggie: The drugs are starting to kick in…
	10:36pm Little Danny: Hi chresti, nice!
	10:37pm HyperDose: @coel It was unexpected. Threw out my awful plastic 1 cup coffee maker, so figured I'd make all of the ginger peach tea. Brewed it with marijuana stems (for CBD), added lemon & honey, then chilled it in the freezer. Highly recommend!
	10:37pm McGroovey: @Gurldoggie No, we hear it, too. It's Jaap Blonk.
	10:39pm McGroovey: I thought there was something different about that afternoon tea.
	10:39pm absmiami: do you have this in mono //??
	10:39pm Kat in Chicago: there's a mono stream on the app!
	10:39pm McGroovey: The radio I'm listening on is mono, so everything is in mono for me.
	10:40pm Bruce S.: Hey my radio's in mono too
	10:42pm Bruce S.: Too much interference in stereo but mono comes in great
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: HyperD that sounds really good actually!
	10:44pm Meghanssj: Canadian content leads to Canadian comments. 🇨🇦
	10:45pm garlic lover: I miss Metrograph :,
	10:46pm absmiami: you didnt do sound for the Immunes, did you ??
	10:47pm Bruce S.: Remember Harmon Killabrew?
	10:47pm Ira: absmiami, I did not. Probably why they sounded so good.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: Heard this on Wired Up! a couple weeks back. WFMU, more Mud, more often!
	10:49pm Michael Shore: Ira: "ZOY-oh ver-SIGH-ez" Mudcat was awesome. Jim Kaat & Tony Oliva on those Twins teams too I think.
	10:55pm Patrick: Loved Mudcat Grant and his book the Black Aces.dont forget harmon Killebrew and Zoilo Versalles Earl Battey.
	10:56pm Ira: Michael Shore, neglected to mention Ray Davies's birthday in just a few days, as pointed out by you (behind the scenes). Oops!
	10:57pm McGroovey: No one can sing? like Peter Stampfel.
	10:57pm Sleve McDichael: Does anyone have any information about "AC&S"? Nothing shows up on google
	10:59pm Michael Shore: Ray Davies AND Augustus Pablo borh born June 21. Both gave us great tunes called "Ape Man"!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: great version! i have a cassette with a few Peter Stampfel songs from Nick Hill's show, back in the day. his version of goldfinger is pretty epic
	11:01pm Ira: Steve McD: A= Alex McManus, C=Tony Crow, S=Matt Swanson, 3 gentlemen who have spent a lot of time in Lambchop, among many other accomplishments.
	11:01pm John L: Today is the birthdays of Harry Nilsson and Noddy Holder.
	11:02pm Oxidized: I have been digging into the Stampfel 20thC set this past week based on the song from it you played last Tuesday, Ira. Some of it is hard going but a lot of it is just heart-rendingly beautiful.
	11:05pm McGroovey: Is this Greg Cartwright singing? I suppose it's not. But it could be,
	11:06pm Bruce S.: I've gotta get this album
	11:07pm Sleve McDichael: Thank you Ira!
	11:08pm John L: McGroovey: Yeah. It sounded like something that could have come off that album the Oblivians did with Quintron.
	11:08pm chresti: Hi Little Danny!
	11:13pm Little Danny: Gorgeous. Never heard of this Anthology, looks necessary.
	11:14pm McGroovey: I'm looking up the You Give Me Reason comp now, myself. I've got several Kent/Ace comps, but not that one.
	11:24pm chresti: Now I'm looking up Skinshape
	11:25pm Bruce S.: This is a very complimentary set if you know what I mean
	11:26pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: hope this riff goes till 9
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Going horizontal in the dark but taking FMU with me. TY DJ Ira !
	11:32pm Bob from poughkeepsie: you need a good out door fm only antenna with a rotor to get wfmu!
	11:32pm vj pussycat: i know what you mean bruce s
	11:35pm Bruce S.: Wow I've got to check out ML Wah
	11:36pm McGroovey: I was tempted by a couple other Ace comps, but I resisted and just got the one with the Rockin' Sidney song.
	11:37pm Bruce S.: Ace is Great!
	11:40pm Bruce S.: Ira this is an amazeing set of music
	11:40pm vj pussycat: truly it is
	11:44pm John L: Bob from Poughkeepsie: I live across the river from you, New Paltz, and it comes in clear. But the Mt. Hope transmitter is only 45 minutes from me. I like that I can listen on terrestrial radio. Terrestrial is a good word. So is cheesecake. Whose hungry?
	11:45pm Little Danny: Deep show tonight Ira. Thanks as always.
	11:46pm Bruce S.: John L why is it mfu in mount hope? do you know?
	11:47pm Gurldoggie: This one really tricked me. I was like “is the radio on the fritz??”
	11:47pm Gurldoggie: I like it!
	11:48pm vj pussycat: these ping pong balls are satisfying
	11:48pm chresti: Yes
	11:49pm Bruce S.: And I've never heard of Mount Hope in any context but WFMU or WMFU asit were
	11:53pm John L: I don't, Bruce. That's a good question, one for Ken. Now I'm kind of curiuos.
	11:54pm Ira: Thanks for listening everyone. See you next week.
	11:54pm McGroovey: I bought a cheap electronic caliper on EBay, and I can't stop measuring stuff. This music reminded me of that. And the fact that I was just measuring something.
	11:56pm Bruce S.: Ira tonights show was really outstanding thanks alot

	9:13pm McGroovey: Now in my brain I'm hearing Motorhead covering As Long as I'm Moving. Did anyone else hear that? Yeah, i don't know. Now Motorhead is covering Streets of Baltimore. I dunno
	9:14pm vj pussycat: i find smoking (or eating) a little weed to be quite complimentary to ira the k's radio programs, especially in the last hour when things tend to get wonky in the best way. i hope that's ok.
	9:14pm DonJuanTijuana: Checking in Ira & Georgia! A little late to the party
	9:16pm Bruce S.: Lets face it it's quite complimentary to WFMU in general
	9:17pm Little Danny: Digging this.
	9:17pm yippie: now baltimore has a free purple bus if you are too tired walkin the streets
	9:18pm mark: Even after years working at Pravda. Never heard that Lesher nugget
	9:18pm Michael Shore: Just as I was thinking "'wonky,' VJP? 'Wonky???'" Bobby Bare vanished from the playlist. And I haven't even smoked anything. So like McG, I dunno.
	9:19pm georgia: i think the lines are open, i recommend calling ira to update the playlist.
	9:20pm Dayffid: Hey Ira and co!
	9:21pm Vince from Pearl: Greetings Ira, Georgia and everyone.My cat woke me up from a nap to tell me it was time for Ira. Let's go Mets!
	9:21pm georgia: Walker is on fire!
	9:22pm Ira: Are you caught up, Georgia? Don't want to give anything away (this week).
	9:22pm Dayffid: Just tuned in in and see I miss streets of Baltimore. Does anyone else feel that that song is like a blueprint for almost every Bruce Springsteen song?
	9:23pm Bruce S.: struck him out
	9:23pm vj pussycat: i'm just gonna go for it. i believe in ira.
	9:23pm Bruce S.: Lol Dayffid
	9:24pm georgia: Oh I love this El Michels Affair, thanks for playing it!
	9:24pm Dayffid: Not bashing by the way love the song and Bruce. Just an observation I was wondering if anyone else shared or disagreed with?
	9:25pm Dayffid: Bruce S - Is that you boss? Haha
	9:26pm Bruce S.: well springsteen did do streets of philadelphia, a homage?
	9:28pm Vince from Pearl: Georgia, 12 k's is indeed on fire!
	9:29pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: wonderful tune
	9:30pm Bruce S.: Big inning in the works
	9:31pm georgia: yes all caught up.
	9:31pm Dayffid: Bruce S - Yeah but also just the narrative format and the general sentiment seems to hold the template for most a lot of his songs.
	9:31pm Bruce S.: I love the xylaphone
	9:32pm E Gregious: If Ira plays the Dickies, Alonso will hit one out.
	9:32pm John L: I was supposed to watch a film at a friend's house. Plans got cancelled. Kinda happy about it since a part of me would rather be here. There's always tomorrow. Great opening set. Maybe I'll light up, too, vj pussycat.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: what a nice bunch of songs that I have mostly never heard before.
	9:34pm Bruce S.: Big inning went kaput
	9:35pm John L: Kat in Chicago, I agree. I just put the Jeff Lescher and Tin Foil in my Bandcamp cart. Special Juneteenth Bandcamp Friday this week, by the way.
	9:36pm Ira: Sorry, Bruce S., it's my fault for not playing the Dickies.
	9:36pm Bruce S.: Dayffid I definitly see what you mean Bruce Kind of captures that vibe in alot of his songs. Man alone in a cold city, working class etc. etc.
	9:37pm leshwatt: :-)~
	9:37pm Mikelark: That Other Houses track was great! Hello from Decatur, GA
	9:38pm vj pussycat: cheers john l. i'm pretty sure i made the right decision. at least so far...
	9:38pm TDK60: Evening Ira, radiofolk.
	9:39pm Dayffid: Bruce S - yeah you put it well
	9:39pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good evening, Ira and irational listeners.
	9:40pm Bruce S.: Working class heartbreak
	9:40pm John L: vj pussycat, someone just gave me some edibles yesterday, but I'm hesitant to eat them this late since I don't know how potent they are. I'll just smoke for now.
	9:40pm Tommy in Neversink: I was waiting for some Waits
	9:41pm Bruce S.: Ira this is a super awesome set
	9:41pm Dayffid: Agreed! amazing set
	9:42pm leshwatt: Turn up the volume Don’t be caught with your drawers down
	9:42pm Michael Shore: Irational. I'm Irate I didn't think of that.
	9:42pm chresti: Hi Ira and maroons!
	9:43pm Tommy in Neversink: I changed into a nine year old hindu boy but I still had the same wife
	9:46pm Parq: Get away from me, kid, you bother me.
	9:46pm vj pussycat: smart move john l. if you have commitments tomorrow, it's best not to experiment with unknown doses. i often get hungover from good (strong) edibles too. best to be a responsible stoner
	9:48pm Gurldoggie: I like the story - maybe apocryphal? - that Frito Lay ripped off that Tom Waits song, and Waits then successfully sued Frito Lay for gazillions, which was what allowed him to reinvent his style and career.
	9:49pm Bruce S.: Great story, I hope it;s true
	9:50pm Hams: tcm's been knockin' it out of the park.
	9:50pm John L: vj pussycat, once I made Neil Young's recipe for something called honeyslides and I was stoned for 24 hours. Could barely make it through Christmas dinner. Not responsible that day.
	9:52pm Parq: The story is true. casetext.com...
	9:55pm Bruce S.: Thanks Parq thats great
	9:57pm northguineahills: I didn't know Sparks were a U of Maryland crowd (never heard Andover rhymed in song before).
	9:57pm Bruce S.: Seth Lugo
	9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Songs the Lawn Taught Us
	10:00pm Dayffid: Probably my two favorite lawnmower songs right there
	10:00pm Gurldoggie: That’s amazing Parq, thank you! Ask and ye shall receive.
	10:00pm Kat in Chicago: Are there a lot of songs about lawnmowers and lawn mowing? The only other one I can think of is "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe" by Genesis
	10:00pm Dayffid: Can’t think of any others though. 🤔
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: Brief lawnmowing reference in "Pleasant Valley Sunday"
	10:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buckadelic Baroque
	10:02pm mariano: I thought it was R. Lee Ermey at first. Hi Ira, everyone!
	10:02pm Kat in Chicago: This is a good one!
	10:02pm John L: Lawn Darts by Ed's Redeeming Qualities.
	10:02pm Dayffid: I think there was a Richard Thompson album with a picture of a lawn mower on the front but don’t think it actually featured in any song? Maybe it did?
	10:02pm northguineahills: George Jones should have done a lawnmowing song (he got a DUI on a ride-on lawnmower).
	10:02pm Michael Shore: good one Kat, re Genesis. "Lawn Chairs" by Our Daughter's Wedding, anyone? The Move's "I Can Hear the Grass Grow"?
	10:03pm pgalub: Whoa, that fuzz guitar solo was pretty unexpected and awesome! Hey everyone!
	10:03pm Dayffid: Oh just thought - is there a line about perfect lawns in Pleasant Valley Sunday?
	10:03pm Tommy in Neversink: Who's gonna mow your grass ...WOW
	10:04pm leshwatt: Great sets Ira. Never know what’s coming next!
	10:04pm Dayffid: Wait didn’t George Jones sing A Good Year for the roses? - “the lawn could use a little mowing...”
	10:05pm Bruce S.: Beach boys party was one of their best albums
	10:05pm Michael Shore: Louis Jordan. "5 Guys Named Mow."
	10:05pm northguineahills: Damnit, Dayffid, your memory bested mine! Kudos!
	10:07pm Bruce S.: Bo Didley mona
	10:07pm Dayffid: Haha - I think your subconscious was trying to remind you
	10:07pm Michael Shore: Mow betta, Bruce!
	10:09pm Chop Scott: Glad to have you ongoing for the Summer schedule Ira--Cheers!
	10:14pm Ira: Thanks, CS! Glad to be back. (And Bruce S., I agree wholeheartedly about Beach Boys' Party.)
	10:17pm Bruce S.: t it in the Books, Mets win a big one
	10:18pm Dayffid: Signing off early. Thanks for the jams!
	10:18pm Rick G: A certain notable band also has what looks like the product of a mower (or is it?!) as an LP gatefold photo…
	10:18pm absmiami: oh dear you played Back it Up and I tuned in late ill take my punishment now
	10:18pm Bruce S.: Take care Dayffid
	10:18pm georgia: that last inning was intense!
	10:19pm Bruce S.: Great play at the plate

	10:21pm vj pussycat: i heart this set
	10:22pm Little Danny: Love this.
	10:24pm Gaylord Fields: @georgia: The Mets playing good defense is a shock to my system.
	10:24pm chresti: Thanks Parq. I'm still skeptical about the award hastening his reinvention part of the story..
	10:25pm McGroovey: Soupy was hip to where the kids were at. (He had a couple of hip kids himself.)
	10:25pm Bruce S.: Trini Lopez had a great band
	10:25pm Ms.Klara: Awesome! Soupy Sales was my main man when I was a kid!
	10:26pm phat in Lincoln: That bass!
	10:27pm Little Danny: Digging this Trini Lopez medley way more than I thought I would.
	10:27pm julie: The Immune System song ! My new totally obscure ira favorite!
	10:28pm georgia: Gaylord, yep canadian mono mix good!
	10:28pm HyperDose: Not to toot my own horn, but I brewed a pretty righteous batch of tea today
	10:28pm Ira: I know what you mean, Little Danny. When I looked at the lp jacket, I thought it was a straight cover of Cry Like a Baby, and wasn't into the concept of the medley. And then I heard it.
	10:29pm vj pussycat: i love how trini lopez' takes a totally different spin on that tune from say, is it donovan?
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: hello
	10:29pm absmiami: my laptop like mono ..
	10:29pm Ira: Georgia, AND it counts as my required Canadian content!
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: HyperD i'm jealous. i'm out of my main tea
	10:30pm Bruce S.: I think Trin Lopez did alot of great covers
	10:31pm vj pussycat: yea, he did
	10:32pm chresti: That guitar made a meow sound!
	10:32pm TDK60: That it did, chresti.
	10:33pm Kat in Chicago: Papa-oom-meow-meow
	10:33pm chresti: Ha Kat
	10:34pm Kat in Chicago: into Jaap Blonk. amazing
	10:35pm chresti: This goes with the back-up singing on Say You.
	10:36pm Gurldoggie: The drugs are starting to kick in…
	10:36pm Little Danny: Hi chresti, nice!
	10:37pm HyperDose: @coel It was unexpected. Threw out my awful plastic 1 cup coffee maker, so figured I'd make all of the ginger peach tea. Brewed it with marijuana stems (for CBD), added lemon & honey, then chilled it in the freezer. Highly recommend!
	10:37pm McGroovey: @Gurldoggie No, we hear it, too. It's Jaap Blonk.
	10:39pm McGroovey: I thought there was something different about that afternoon tea.
	10:39pm absmiami: do you have this in mono //??
	10:39pm Kat in Chicago: there's a mono stream on the app!
	10:39pm McGroovey: The radio I'm listening on is mono, so everything is in mono for me.
	10:40pm Bruce S.: Hey my radio's in mono too
	10:42pm Bruce S.: Too much interference in stereo but mono comes in great
	10:42pm coelacanth∅: HyperD that sounds really good actually!
	10:44pm Meghanssj: Canadian content leads to Canadian comments. 🇨🇦
	10:45pm garlic lover: I miss Metrograph :,
	10:46pm absmiami: you didnt do sound for the Immunes, did you ??
	10:47pm Bruce S.: Remember Harmon Killabrew?
	10:47pm Ira: absmiami, I did not. Probably why they sounded so good.
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: Heard this on Wired Up! a couple weeks back. WFMU, more Mud, more often!
	10:49pm Michael Shore: Ira: "ZOY-oh ver-SIGH-ez" Mudcat was awesome. Jim Kaat & Tony Oliva on those Twins teams too I think.
	10:55pm Patrick: Loved Mudcat Grant and his book the Black Aces.dont forget harmon Killebrew and Zoilo Versalles Earl Battey.
	10:56pm Ira: Michael Shore, neglected to mention Ray Davies's birthday in just a few days, as pointed out by you (behind the scenes). Oops!
	10:57pm McGroovey: No one can sing? like Peter Stampfel.
	10:57pm Sleve McDichael: Does anyone have any information about "AC&S"? Nothing shows up on google
	10:59pm Michael Shore: Ray Davies AND Augustus Pablo borh born June 21. Both gave us great tunes called "Ape Man"!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: great version! i have a cassette with a few Peter Stampfel songs from Nick Hill's show, back in the day. his version of goldfinger is pretty epic
	11:01pm Ira: Steve McD: A= Alex McManus, C=Tony Crow, S=Matt Swanson, 3 gentlemen who have spent a lot of time in Lambchop, among many other accomplishments.
	11:01pm John L: Today is the birthdays of Harry Nilsson and Noddy Holder.
	11:02pm Oxidized: I have been digging into the Stampfel 20thC set this past week based on the song from it you played last Tuesday, Ira. Some of it is hard going but a lot of it is just heart-rendingly beautiful.
	11:05pm McGroovey: Is this Greg Cartwright singing? I suppose it's not. But it could be,
	11:06pm Bruce S.: I've gotta get this album
	11:07pm Sleve McDichael: Thank you Ira!
	11:08pm John L: McGroovey: Yeah. It sounded like something that could have come off that album the Oblivians did with Quintron.
	11:08pm chresti: Hi Little Danny!
	11:13pm Little Danny: Gorgeous. Never heard of this Anthology, looks necessary.
	11:14pm McGroovey: I'm looking up the You Give Me Reason comp now, myself. I've got several Kent/Ace comps, but not that one.
	11:24pm chresti: Now I'm looking up Skinshape
	11:25pm Bruce S.: This is a very complimentary set if you know what I mean
	11:26pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: hope this riff goes till 9
	11:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Going horizontal in the dark but taking FMU with me. TY DJ Ira !
	11:32pm Bob from poughkeepsie: you need a good out door fm only antenna with a rotor to get wfmu!
	11:32pm vj pussycat: i know what you mean bruce s
	11:35pm Bruce S.: Wow I've got to check out ML Wah
	11:36pm McGroovey: I was tempted by a couple other Ace comps, but I resisted and just got the one with the Rockin' Sidney song.
	11:37pm Bruce S.: Ace is Great!
	11:40pm Bruce S.: Ira this is an amazeing set of music
	11:40pm vj pussycat: truly it is
	11:44pm John L: Bob from Poughkeepsie: I live across the river from you, New Paltz, and it comes in clear. But the Mt. Hope transmitter is only 45 minutes from me. I like that I can listen on terrestrial radio. Terrestrial is a good word. So is cheesecake. Whose hungry?
	11:45pm Little Danny: Deep show tonight Ira. Thanks as always.
	11:46pm Bruce S.: John L why is it mfu in mount hope? do you know?
	11:47pm Gurldoggie: This one really tricked me. I was like “is the radio on the fritz??”
	11:47pm Gurldoggie: I like it!
	11:48pm vj pussycat: these ping pong balls are satisfying
	11:48pm chresti: Yes
	11:49pm Bruce S.: And I've never heard of Mount Hope in any context but WFMU or WMFU asit were
	11:53pm John L: I don't, Bruce. That's a good question, one for Ken. Now I'm kind of curiuos.
	11:54pm Ira: Thanks for listening everyone. See you next week.
	11:54pm McGroovey: I bought a cheap electronic caliper on EBay, and I can't stop measuring stuff. This music reminded me of that. And the fact that I was just measuring something.
	11:56pm Bruce S.: Ira tonights show was really outstanding thanks alot
