	10:58pm Little Danny: Yeah those cymbal crashes.
	10:58pm Little Danny: Hiya Constantly!
	10:59pm Constantly Choking: Hey Little Danny, hope your night's good!
	11:00pm vj pussycat: bruce s, so much so their thursday overnight shows which play back to back on kpfa happen to be the longest running shows on the station. i think 30+ yrs. wow. they have been known to combine forces on occasion too so it all smears together just fine.
	11:01pm displayedname: herbcraft getting lots of love on wmfu lately. not mad at it
	11:01pm tempohouse: Wow that GENG PTP was low-key genius for real. Thanks!
	11:01pm Bruce S.: Is KPFA a Pacifica station?,just wondering
	11:02pm ShelbyG: Heya pump!
	11:02pm vj pussycat: yep
	11:02pm Constantly Choking: yeah, that Geng track got me, anyone know if the whole record is as good? no singles, only full album on Bandcamp
	11:04pm Bruce S.: It must be great to have a viable Pacifica radio community out there,VJ, enjoy

	11:10pm Constantly Choking: @Pumpy yeah I got a good feeling, might as well grab it
	11:10pm Little Danny: Helluva segue, Ira.
	11:11pm Fragonard: Sun Ra-like
	11:11pm chresti: Hello Ira and company! enjoying very much, thanks!
	11:13pm JT: good groove
	11:14pm vj pussycat: thanks bruce s. i feel super lucky to have connected with these guys because in addition to their kpfa shows, there is another handful of other programming they do throughout the week on radio valencia and their own station, reloadio, so there’s a lot of opportunities to get creative with them and it’s always so much fun
	11:16pm Michael Shore: Fragonard Phil Cohran played trumpet with Ra at the turn of the 1960s
	11:16pm Bruce S.: I know that they are veterens who have been on the scene for a long time, they know what they are doing, I think
	11:18pm Gurldoggie: This is wonderful.
	11:19pm vj pussycat: haha yes, they are consummate cacauphonic professionals
	11:20pm mary: this Tam Noong Euy IS wonderful yes
	11:21pm mary: was an amazing set!!
	11:21pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: "so terrible in the bowl..." ha!
	11:22pm vj pussycat: so, so terrible in the bowl
	11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: @Constantly, the main fella goes by Genghis, or Geng. I went down a rabbit hole and discovered this 'chopped and slowed' tribute to Black Sabbath. It's bonkers. purpletapepedigree.bandcamp.com...
	11:25pm Mary: Sending Luv from Mary, Meg and Charlie up the CA coast. Sounding great, Ira!
	11:25pm Robm: Hello fellow music geeks
	11:25pm vj pussycat: thanks for that link mr p, i am intrigued, saved it for later
	11:25pm Fragonard: @Michael: aha! (and I saw Sun Ra many times when I lived in Chicago…good stuff!)
	11:26pm Mr. Pumpy: Skippy!
	11:27pm Constantly Choking: ah yeah, definitely gonna give that a listen later on @Pumpy there's no way that's bad
	11:28pm Bruce S.: this sounds excellent
	11:28pm Fragonard: Fruit Loops weren’t much better (as you can hear)
	11:28pm Bruce S.: you hit a sweet spot
	11:29pm Fragonard: …a nice, round sound (and around again)
	11:32pm vj pussycat: i found every single cereal i ate as a kid to have the same bait and switch effect as lucky charms, forever tainting my feelings about breakfast cereal in general
	11:33pm Constantly Choking: I feel like corn pops lived up to the hype
	11:33pm Bruce S.: I got into Raisin bran pretty early on and I'm sticking with it now
	11:35pm georgia: Hi mary, meg and charlie!
	11:36pm Bruce S.: I remember when quisp and quake came out I was excited, but it didn't last
	11:39pm Little Danny: 110% distracting, Ira. Brilliant show tonight.
	11:40pm vj pussycat: yea, you are right about corn pops. i just wasn't interested back then. i would think due to the lack of color and those hard-as-a-rock micromarshmellows. i guess raisin bran was my go to but i never really liked it that much. on the occasion i was given a choice, i picked my cereals based on the prizes offered.
	11:44pm Bruce S.: Ira this is sending me into the zone of the holographic lights
	11:45pm Ira: Sugar Pops, Alpha Bits, and that one that Bing Crosby endorsed . . . Sugar Crisp. All met with my approval. Peanut butter Cap'n Crunch . . .
	11:46pm Constantly Choking: man shout out that Dilloway/Dalt record, so good
	11:46pm Constantly Choking: yeah that prize scheme was vicious
	11:47pm Bruce S.: I loved when he said sugar crisps in that Bing crosby voice
	11:47pm Mary: Hi Georgia!!
	11:48pm JT: king vitamin
	11:49pm Meghanssj: The weekly return to awareness of the path of my orbit. ☀️
	11:50pm vj pussycat: yea, the prizes were often of the same bait and switch philosophy as learned with lucky charms
	11:50pm georgia: welcome home Mary, yr pics of Greece are beautiful!
	11:51pm JT: cereal just some weird american sh*t upon retrospection
	11:55pm vj pussycat: what blows my mind is the flavors i've seen in recent years, mostly corporate connected like the regular brands of candy bars and donuts. they should just sell bags of sugar as cereal.
	11:55pm Bruce S.: Wow Midnight At The Oasis already,thanks Ira, still great
	11:56pm vj pussycat: loved this show tonight, ira. idk what happened last week. i still have to listen to the rest of that. bye y'all
	11:56pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: Thanks for the gr8 show all!
	11:57pm georgia: goodnight Rocky!
	11:57pm Bruce S.: Bye VJ have a good one
	11:57pm Constantly Choking: That was a great show, much obliged!
	11:57pm JT: thanks ira
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Ira
	11:58pm vj pussycat: you started it ira. thanks bruce s, you too.
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: i used to love shredded wheat.
	11:59pm McGroovey: Oh, now I want shredded wheat for breakfast, but I only have Cheerios. I like Cheerios--don't get me wrong. But
	12:00am vj pussycat: cheetohs woulda been a good cereal

	10:46pm vj pussycat: bruce s, it was pretty decent, thanks for asking. went to a rose garden, had two yummy meals and did a marathon, almost 10 hour twitch stream which started off with friends of various kpfa and radiovalencia, negativland and subgenius related radio programs from their secret sf mission station and other stuff. i liked it
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: greetings all

	10:58pm Little Danny: Hiya Constantly!
	10:59pm Constantly Choking: Hey Little Danny, hope your night's good!
	11:00pm vj pussycat: bruce s, so much so their thursday overnight shows which play back to back on kpfa happen to be the longest running shows on the station. i think 30+ yrs. wow. they have been known to combine forces on occasion too so it all smears together just fine.
	11:01pm displayedname: herbcraft getting lots of love on wmfu lately. not mad at it
	11:01pm tempohouse: Wow that GENG PTP was low-key genius for real. Thanks!
	11:01pm Bruce S.: Is KPFA a Pacifica station?,just wondering

	11:10pm Little Danny: Helluva segue, Ira.
	11:11pm Fragonard: Sun Ra-like
	11:11pm chresti: Hello Ira and company! enjoying very much, thanks!
	11:13pm JT: good groove
	11:14pm vj pussycat: thanks bruce s. i feel super lucky to have connected with these guys because in addition to their kpfa shows, there is another handful of other programming they do throughout the week on radio valencia and their own station, reloadio, so there’s a lot of opportunities to get creative with them and it’s always so much fun
	11:16pm Michael Shore: Fragonard Phil Cohran played trumpet with Ra at the turn of the 1960s
	11:16pm Bruce S.: I know that they are veterens who have been on the scene for a long time, they know what they are doing, I think
	11:18pm Gurldoggie: This is wonderful.
	11:19pm vj pussycat: haha yes, they are consummate cacauphonic professionals
	11:20pm mary: this Tam Noong Euy IS wonderful yes
	11:21pm mary: was an amazing set!!
	11:21pm Mr & Mrs Bobby Microwave: "so terrible in the bowl..." ha!
	11:22pm vj pussycat: so, so terrible in the bowl
	11:23pm Mr. Pumpy: @Constantly, the main fella goes by Genghis, or Geng. I went down a rabbit hole and discovered this 'chopped and slowed' tribute to Black Sabbath. It's bonkers. purpletapepedigree.bandcamp.com...
	11:25pm Mary: Sending Luv from Mary, Meg and Charlie up the CA coast. Sounding great, Ira!
	11:25pm Robm: Hello fellow music geeks
	11:25pm vj pussycat: thanks for that link mr p, i am intrigued, saved it for later
	11:25pm Fragonard: @Michael: aha! (and I saw Sun Ra many times when I lived in Chicago…good stuff!)
	11:26pm Mr. Pumpy: Skippy!
	11:27pm Constantly Choking: ah yeah, definitely gonna give that a listen later on @Pumpy there's no way that's bad
	11:28pm Bruce S.: this sounds excellent
	11:28pm Fragonard: Fruit Loops weren’t much better (as you can hear)
	11:28pm Bruce S.: you hit a sweet spot
	11:29pm Fragonard: …a nice, round sound (and around again)
	11:32pm vj pussycat: i found every single cereal i ate as a kid to have the same bait and switch effect as lucky charms, forever tainting my feelings about breakfast cereal in general
	11:33pm Constantly Choking: I feel like corn pops lived up to the hype
	11:33pm Bruce S.: I got into Raisin bran pretty early on and I'm sticking with it now
	11:35pm georgia: Hi mary, meg and charlie!
	11:36pm Bruce S.: I remember when quisp and quake came out I was excited, but it didn't last
	11:39pm Little Danny: 110% distracting, Ira. Brilliant show tonight.
	11:40pm vj pussycat: yea, you are right about corn pops. i just wasn't interested back then. i would think due to the lack of color and those hard-as-a-rock micromarshmellows. i guess raisin bran was my go to but i never really liked it that much. on the occasion i was given a choice, i picked my cereals based on the prizes offered.
	11:44pm Bruce S.: Ira this is sending me into the zone of the holographic lights
	11:45pm Ira: Sugar Pops, Alpha Bits, and that one that Bing Crosby endorsed . . . Sugar Crisp. All met with my approval. Peanut butter Cap'n Crunch . . .
	11:46pm Constantly Choking: man shout out that Dilloway/Dalt record, so good
	11:46pm Constantly Choking: yeah that prize scheme was vicious
	11:47pm Bruce S.: I loved when he said sugar crisps in that Bing crosby voice
	11:47pm Mary: Hi Georgia!!
	11:48pm JT: king vitamin
	11:49pm Meghanssj: The weekly return to awareness of the path of my orbit. ☀️
	11:50pm vj pussycat: yea, the prizes were often of the same bait and switch philosophy as learned with lucky charms
	11:50pm georgia: welcome home Mary, yr pics of Greece are beautiful!
	11:51pm JT: cereal just some weird american sh*t upon retrospection
	11:55pm vj pussycat: what blows my mind is the flavors i've seen in recent years, mostly corporate connected like the regular brands of candy bars and donuts. they should just sell bags of sugar as cereal.
	11:55pm Bruce S.: Wow Midnight At The Oasis already,thanks Ira, still great
	11:56pm vj pussycat: loved this show tonight, ira. idk what happened last week. i still have to listen to the rest of that. bye y'all

	11:59pm McGroovey: Oh, now I want shredded wheat for breakfast, but I only have Cheerios. I like Cheerios--don't get me wrong. But
	12:00am vj pussycat: cheetohs woulda been a good cereal
