	12:32pm Gerry from Miami: @chris_in_space. If it makes you feel any better, tomorrow is the only Friday the 13th that will occur in 2021. Some superstitions just seem to persist, no matter their illogic.
	12:33pm Bergey: ah I see, cool connection Krys O
	12:33pm Krys O.: @Bergey: mitch-friedman.bandcamp.com...
	12:34pm lavaux: this is taking me on an odyssey
	12:35pm Andres: Just checked in with the teen beside me. They don’t know who Jason from Friday the 13th is.
	12:35pm Zinn The Mood: Cool stuff. Am listening on an old radio/cassette/cd player (of which only the digital radio works), but with the antennae broken in half making things murky. Started thinking about really cool mid-90’s record by Imperial Drag. Anybody heard that one? Great mix of hard rock with melodic pop sensibilities.
	12:37pm HyperDose: What up Juli & Bergey! 🤩🌻
	12:37pm Juli: Any one else volunteering soon?
	12:38pm Mike Sin: Hi Pseu! Very happy to be listening in "real time" this week!
	12:41pm Ochre Ogre: Jull- Someones gotta do it. I voluteered years ago during the Marathon just before Monty Hall opened. Such a great time, nothing but pure love.
	12:41pm KlausVonB: Hey Pseu!
	12:43pm karlward: Fleet Week?
	12:45pm PMD: I wish I could volunteer!
	12:45pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Pseu and fellow Hookers.
	12:46pm ?: Sweating on a Philli rooftop repairing planks, joy of the sound of your hook, keep sweating…
	12:47pm Ochre Ogre: One of the other volunteers made some of best coffee I ever had.
	12:50pm Ochre Ogre: PMD- Make that yer wish before you blow out the birthday candles.
	12:54pm Pseu Braun: Hello ALL!
	12:54pm morphe': I always thought this (GIRL LIKE YOU) was Nick Cave until about a month ago ???
	12:56pm Fletchernyc: Such a great song! Fake Bowie and all.
	12:56pm KlausVonB: wow, cool flashback. Scotland rocks!
	12:57pm morphe': Zinn - unscrew the broken stem (if possible) and string some electrical wire ( a good length)through the opening. Ya can then move the wire about or tape it to the wall..
	1:01pm Beast of Boonton: Tim Horton Keurig pods
	1:01pm Too Obtuse: If you experience prolonged pupil dialation lasting more than 4 hours, seek medical attention immediately.
	1:02pm Too Obtuse: JK
	1:02pm HyperDose: @Beast of Boonton You're tempting me back into that single-use plastic!🙈
	1:03pm Ochre Ogre: Too Obtuse- Unless you dropped acid.
	1:04pm Krys O.: @Too Obtuse: The drops last longer these days. It used to be finished within 2 hours, but I've had my eyes dilated each year and it lasts 4 more or more.
	1:05pm Beast of Boonton: Seriously, what are the chances of a Keurig pod getting caught in a whale's blow-hole?
	1:05pm Woo: Could happen
	1:06pm jameson 57: Rule #42: never go to the doctor's in August. Except the dentist. That's okay.
	1:06pm eva: horrible! i’m very sensitive to those eye drops. always ask for a fraction of the eye drop dose. it’s now in my records.
	1:07pm PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings Psue & all in WFMU Land!!!! Sounding good! on this Summers day!
	1:08pm PaulRobeson1920: Pseu!!! *
	1:09pm PMD: Good to know all this about eye drops. I have to do it soon... so will ask for less.
	1:09pm jameson 57: $17 for coffee. Let's see 3 cans. 3 into 17, carry the 2... Wow that's some expensive coffee! I got some 8 O'clock coffee for like 2 bucks. And it is delicious.
	1:09pm johnk77: headed to the dentist monday show sounds great
	1:10pm eva: less is best. they just pour that shit right in.
	1:10pm HyperDose: @johnk77 Getting my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday. Should be fun!
	1:11pm Krys O.: I make sure to wear a hat with a brim and sunglasses even on cloudy days when I go to the eye doc. I end up wearing them inside at home until it passes. I have a lot of issues with my vision like optic neuropathy.
	1:12pm jameson 57: Golden Apples, colorama, and Edwyn Collins sounded so good. Only on FMU.
	1:14pm johnk77: 1 more extraction here then a few cavities filled in 2 weeks;< on the vision tip i find prescription sunglasses a requirement but ymmv
	1:16pm johnk77: partly sunny and hazy w/lots of glare currently in broadcast area
	1:18pm Jason from Houston: A friend had the Optomap imaging thing done (+$40) recently and they didn't have to dilate. Looking into this now because I am in the I will just buy cheap readers on the Internet stage of overdue for an appointment.
	1:19pm Krys O.: @johnk77: I get my glasses through Zenni and order sunglass clips for each pair. I worked for an optician for 20 years and was spoiled having my glasses made for free with Transition lenses. I spend about $50 a pair on Zenni.
	1:19pm jameson 57: Lance sandwich crackers are on sale at Shop-Rite for $1.88. Get those delicious treats now. Before it is too late.
	1:22pm Beast of Boonton: They sell the TH Keurig pods at Shoprite too
	1:24pm Chris: Pseu, my soundtrack for doing window trim work around the house in deadly heat. My cats are basically dead on the floor watching me….drink beer. Just you mentioning dialtated pupils triggers micro flashbacks. Ugh. Be well….Chris in Philly
	1:27pm PaulRobeson1920: wfmu.org... Pupils!!! Flashbacks! Pupils! We all have em, don’t you worry any more
	1:27pm johnk77: local sensor here in south south bronx calculates heat index 104 luckily we have 1 room w/ window air conditioner
	1:28pm jameson 57: Floss your teeth first, then brush. Not the other way around.
	1:29pm Krys O.: This Watchhouse is sublime. Makes me think of John Hartford.
	1:31pm annie: that's the second time i missed the first half of that watchhouse tune. i like it
	1:31pm annie: Krys!!! yes!
	1:34pm eva: trix are for kids!
	1:35pm biomurph: thank you su broan!
	1:36pm biomurph: your playlist is fitting my groove
	1:37pm mb: Hey dere Pseu
	1:37pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all. Wanna go out to the back to harvest some veggies( with requisite skeeter repellent) but your show, along with the heat is keeping me in, Pseu!
	1:39pm Krys O.: My cats invariably go to the hottest room in the apartment, the kitchen and they lay on the tile floor. The noise from the window A/C perturbs them, I guess.
	1:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): We can't talk about Radiohead, what's left??! ;-)
	1:46pm tom tom the pipers son: mitzi gaynor is indeed still alive, she's 89
	1:46pm PaulRobeson1920: LOL! Musssic!!! Is a positive thang!
	1:47pm eva: maybe another snot question.
	1:50pm Krys O.: Yay, Donna Beeeeee~
	1:50pm Jeff Moore: Cold cash! No bra money!
	1:53pm Mister Dobalina: Shoe money?
	1:53pm Mister Dobalina: Pseu's Psass with a Hook is the best habit to get hooked on!
	1:55pm Krys O.: I am compelled to turn up the volume on every L'Rain song! xxxxxxx
	1:55pm annie: having a great time, pseu!
	1:59pm John L: Happy news! Last Weds. Lou Barlow played a great, intimate, outdoor show in a parking lot across form my apartment. If you see him solo come with a request list; he loves taking suggestions.
	2:03pm efd: down with colored vinyl! 👎
	2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi. They should rename the towns Pseu Falls, South Dakota & Pseu City, Iowa.
	2:06pm Pseu Braun: John L you totally posted this last week.
	2:07pm Mike Sin: Up with colored vinyl when you're just throwing LPs on and off the turntable at home with cool lighting! Down with colored vinyl when you're DJing at WFMU and you're playing two-minute songs and you're trying to find the gap groove with seconds before the segue!
	2:08pm John L: Ah! Damn. Forgot. I was on massive painkillers last week, so last week was a blur.
	2:09pm John L: On the upside, I am no longer on painkillers! And that's the last I'll say about illness.
	2:11pm Asheville Jon: sweet to hear some Nesmith!!!
	2:11pm vinylmonkee: Nez!
	2:12pm Krys O.: Team Nez!
	2:12pm annie: a voice i can never tire of, not to mention the songs of this guy
	2:13pm Asheville Jon: i hope my neighbors are enjoying this as much as i am
	2:15pm John L: Speaking of live concerts, I've noticed that the Summerstage concerts are scheduled for 90 minutes, no matter if it's a single act or double bill. Yo La Tengo and Mountain Movers are playing Sept 1, and the time is 7-8:30. This seems shorter than previous years. I'm assuming they want to shorten public exposure. I was wondering if anyone has first hand knowledge of this.
	2:15pm 1ke: Anybody else got one of those weird cats that mainly wants to sit on your lap only when you’re on the terlet!!?! WEIRD CAT, I’m BUSY here!!!!
	2:16pm Gerry from Miami: Michael Nesmith put out a pretty good series of solo albums after the breakup of the Monkees. And Pseu, you are carrying me back to my Top 40 AM radio days with this gem by R. B. Greaves.
	2:18pm Krys O.: For about a month one of the guys in production was listening to a streaming channel that featured Gary Puckett & the Union Gap. Good gawd, that stuff was awful and worthy of a chorus of screaming goats.
	2:18pm Scobot: I actually looked it up. I thought Nesmith sounds exactly like Greaves!
	2:19pm McGroovey: I have a flashlight by turntable so I can shine it obliquely across the surface of the record to see the song breaks.
	2:19pm Gerry from Miami: When I say "gem," I mean musically. The lyric of Mr. Greaves's song is a tad bit out of line in light of current standards.
	2:20pm dale: had to guess who that was and failed. my hunches were divine comedy? nick cave? robert goulet?
	2:22pm Jeezuseffinchrist: PREACH IT
	2:22pm TimSF: Getting here late: HB PMD...mine today too...year of the dawg. Lots of Leos on WFMU. Chris_in_space: HB tomorrow
	2:23pm Fuzzy: ...and J.B scores on the rebound!
	2:23pm Fuzzy: R.B., that is.
	2:24pm Krys O.: HR is for the company's benefit, not the employee's. They filter the cases to see who will sue the company.
	2:24pm dale: only sixteen sweet little sixteen you're sixteen sweet sixteen into the night.
	2:25pm unpopularfred: @dale - I had Scott Walker at first
	2:25pm Bloviating Ignoramus: I'm old enough to remember when HR was called Personnel.
	2:25pm ledzeppelinsucks: HR is to keep the enterprise out of the news and court.
	2:27pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for the Fayelord plugola, Pseu!
	2:28pm Jeff Moore: O yay! Donna is the awesomest.
	2:33pm Patster: A song about ED?
	2:34pm RevWaldo: I'll take songs with obvious innuendo for 500 Alex - though I confess I had this album on repeat back in the day.
	2:38pm Gerry from Miami: When I first heard Alison Moyet on the radio when she was Yaz's vocalist, I thought she was a man. Just a nice female alto is all. I also remember being shocked seeing Tracy Chapman's video of "Fast Cars" for the first time. Another deep-voiced lady fooled me once again!
	2:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hi everybody!Some Brian Jonestown Massacre would be nice....
	2:41pm Krys O.: @Gerry: I've been called 'sir' on the phone occasionally because of my contralto voice.
	2:42pm McGroovey: I loved the Floodlights song, but my ear told me the bass and guitar weren't in tune with each other. I dunno.
	2:42pm Krys O.: Neil Diamond and Peter Murphy are vocal twins.
	2:43pm Faux Jean: Neil!
	2:44pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Neil Diamond is an amazing artist.
	2:44pm TimSF: I always think of Boys Town when I hear this song. Can't remember where it is, but I bought a little keychain at the gift shop.
	2:45pm morphe': Thanks Pseu and all !!!!
	2:46pm Krys O.: Was thinking about Hot August Night just the other day.
	2:49pm Faux Jean: I’m always thinking about Hot August Night.
	2:49pm RevWaldo: @Gerry from Miami - and when Yaz split up and Vince Clarke joined up with Andy Bell, a lotta folks though Andy was a girl, because he sounded at first blush a lot like Alison.
	2:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: When The Jayhawks do Waiting For The Sun, dude sounds like a lady, he sings so very high.
	2:50pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Sounding great at Great Kills beach! Was standing in the water while holding the portable radio and sipping a Brooklyn sour ale. About to go for an actual swim. Thanks for the tunes! I also tried the 91.9 frequency and picked up some doomsday religious stuff.
	2:50pm RevWaldo: ^ to form Erasure
	2:51pm Gerry from Miami: Gotta run, Pseu with a Hook! As always, super show with super tunes.Catch you next week. Stay cool in this summer heat blast furnace.
	2:54pm radioronan: Thanks Pseu!
	2:57pm mb: Thx Pseu !
	2:57pm Tim in the Projectorium: Cool music for a hot afternoon, thanks Pseu!
	2:58pm vinylmonkee: Thanks Pseu!
	2:58pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu!
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: True that, RevWaldo! Andy's voice was a bit higher than Alyson's. But none of them surpassed Jimmy Sommerville with Bronski Beat.
	2:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank you for the real cool music Pseu!!! Thank you!

	12:35pm Zinn The Mood: Cool stuff. Am listening on an old radio/cassette/cd player (of which only the digital radio works), but with the antennae broken in half making things murky. Started thinking about really cool mid-90’s record by Imperial Drag. Anybody heard that one? Great mix of hard rock with melodic pop sensibilities.

	12:57pm morphe': Zinn - unscrew the broken stem (if possible) and string some electrical wire ( a good length)through the opening. Ya can then move the wire about or tape it to the wall..
	1:01pm Beast of Boonton: Tim Horton Keurig pods
	1:01pm Too Obtuse: If you experience prolonged pupil dialation lasting more than 4 hours, seek medical attention immediately.
	1:02pm Too Obtuse: JK
	1:02pm HyperDose: @Beast of Boonton You're tempting me back into that single-use plastic!🙈
	1:03pm Ochre Ogre: Too Obtuse- Unless you dropped acid.
	1:04pm Krys O.: @Too Obtuse: The drops last longer these days. It used to be finished within 2 hours, but I've had my eyes dilated each year and it lasts 4 more or more.
	1:05pm Beast of Boonton: Seriously, what are the chances of a Keurig pod getting caught in a whale's blow-hole?
	1:05pm Woo: Could happen
	1:06pm jameson 57: Rule #42: never go to the doctor's in August. Except the dentist. That's okay.
	1:06pm eva: horrible! i’m very sensitive to those eye drops. always ask for a fraction of the eye drop dose. it’s now in my records.
	1:07pm PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings Psue & all in WFMU Land!!!! Sounding good! on this Summers day!
	1:08pm PaulRobeson1920: Pseu!!! *

	1:10pm eva: less is best. they just pour that shit right in.
	1:10pm HyperDose: @johnk77 Getting my wisdom teeth out on Tuesday. Should be fun!
	1:11pm Krys O.: I make sure to wear a hat with a brim and sunglasses even on cloudy days when I go to the eye doc. I end up wearing them inside at home until it passes. I have a lot of issues with my vision like optic neuropathy.
	1:12pm jameson 57: Golden Apples, colorama, and Edwyn Collins sounded so good. Only on FMU.
	1:14pm johnk77: 1 more extraction here then a few cavities filled in 2 weeks;< on the vision tip i find prescription sunglasses a requirement but ymmv
	1:16pm johnk77: partly sunny and hazy w/lots of glare currently in broadcast area
	1:18pm Jason from Houston: A friend had the Optomap imaging thing done (+$40) recently and they didn't have to dilate. Looking into this now because I am in the I will just buy cheap readers on the Internet stage of overdue for an appointment.
	1:19pm Krys O.: @johnk77: I get my glasses through Zenni and order sunglass clips for each pair. I worked for an optician for 20 years and was spoiled having my glasses made for free with Transition lenses. I spend about $50 a pair on Zenni.
	1:19pm jameson 57: Lance sandwich crackers are on sale at Shop-Rite for $1.88. Get those delicious treats now. Before it is too late.
	1:22pm Beast of Boonton: They sell the TH Keurig pods at Shoprite too
	1:24pm Chris: Pseu, my soundtrack for doing window trim work around the house in deadly heat. My cats are basically dead on the floor watching me….drink beer. Just you mentioning dialtated pupils triggers micro flashbacks. Ugh. Be well….Chris in Philly
	1:27pm PaulRobeson1920: wfmu.org... Pupils!!! Flashbacks! Pupils! We all have em, don’t you worry any more
	1:27pm johnk77: local sensor here in south south bronx calculates heat index 104 luckily we have 1 room w/ window air conditioner
	1:28pm jameson 57: Floss your teeth first, then brush. Not the other way around.
	1:29pm Krys O.: This Watchhouse is sublime. Makes me think of John Hartford.
	1:31pm annie: that's the second time i missed the first half of that watchhouse tune. i like it

	1:34pm eva: trix are for kids!

	1:36pm biomurph: your playlist is fitting my groove
	1:37pm mb: Hey dere Pseu
	1:37pm KevinfromBayRidge: Hello all. Wanna go out to the back to harvest some veggies( with requisite skeeter repellent) but your show, along with the heat is keeping me in, Pseu!
	1:39pm Krys O.: My cats invariably go to the hottest room in the apartment, the kitchen and they lay on the tile floor. The noise from the window A/C perturbs them, I guess.
	1:46pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): We can't talk about Radiohead, what's left??! ;-)
	1:46pm tom tom the pipers son: mitzi gaynor is indeed still alive, she's 89
	1:46pm PaulRobeson1920: LOL! Musssic!!! Is a positive thang!
	1:47pm eva: maybe another snot question.
	1:50pm Krys O.: Yay, Donna Beeeeee~
	1:50pm Jeff Moore: Cold cash! No bra money!

	1:53pm Mister Dobalina: Pseu's Psass with a Hook is the best habit to get hooked on!
	1:55pm Krys O.: I am compelled to turn up the volume on every L'Rain song! xxxxxxx
	1:55pm annie: having a great time, pseu!
	1:59pm John L: Happy news! Last Weds. Lou Barlow played a great, intimate, outdoor show in a parking lot across form my apartment. If you see him solo come with a request list; he loves taking suggestions.
	2:03pm efd: down with colored vinyl! 👎
	2:05pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi. They should rename the towns Pseu Falls, South Dakota & Pseu City, Iowa.
	2:06pm Pseu Braun: John L you totally posted this last week.
	2:07pm Mike Sin: Up with colored vinyl when you're just throwing LPs on and off the turntable at home with cool lighting! Down with colored vinyl when you're DJing at WFMU and you're playing two-minute songs and you're trying to find the gap groove with seconds before the segue!
	2:08pm John L: Ah! Damn. Forgot. I was on massive painkillers last week, so last week was a blur.
	2:09pm John L: On the upside, I am no longer on painkillers! And that's the last I'll say about illness.
	2:11pm Asheville Jon: sweet to hear some Nesmith!!!
	2:11pm vinylmonkee: Nez!
	2:12pm Krys O.: Team Nez!
	2:12pm annie: a voice i can never tire of, not to mention the songs of this guy
	2:13pm Asheville Jon: i hope my neighbors are enjoying this as much as i am
	2:15pm John L: Speaking of live concerts, I've noticed that the Summerstage concerts are scheduled for 90 minutes, no matter if it's a single act or double bill. Yo La Tengo and Mountain Movers are playing Sept 1, and the time is 7-8:30. This seems shorter than previous years. I'm assuming they want to shorten public exposure. I was wondering if anyone has first hand knowledge of this.
	2:15pm 1ke: Anybody else got one of those weird cats that mainly wants to sit on your lap only when you’re on the terlet!!?! WEIRD CAT, I’m BUSY here!!!!
	2:16pm Gerry from Miami: Michael Nesmith put out a pretty good series of solo albums after the breakup of the Monkees. And Pseu, you are carrying me back to my Top 40 AM radio days with this gem by R. B. Greaves.
	2:18pm Krys O.: For about a month one of the guys in production was listening to a streaming channel that featured Gary Puckett & the Union Gap. Good gawd, that stuff was awful and worthy of a chorus of screaming goats.
	2:18pm Scobot: I actually looked it up. I thought Nesmith sounds exactly like Greaves!
	2:19pm McGroovey: I have a flashlight by turntable so I can shine it obliquely across the surface of the record to see the song breaks.
	2:19pm Gerry from Miami: When I say "gem," I mean musically. The lyric of Mr. Greaves's song is a tad bit out of line in light of current standards.
	2:20pm dale: had to guess who that was and failed. my hunches were divine comedy? nick cave? robert goulet?
	2:22pm Jeezuseffinchrist: PREACH IT
	2:22pm TimSF: Getting here late: HB PMD...mine today too...year of the dawg. Lots of Leos on WFMU. Chris_in_space: HB tomorrow
	2:23pm Fuzzy: ...and J.B scores on the rebound!
	2:23pm Fuzzy: R.B., that is.
	2:24pm Krys O.: HR is for the company's benefit, not the employee's. They filter the cases to see who will sue the company.
	2:24pm dale: only sixteen sweet little sixteen you're sixteen sweet sixteen into the night.
	2:25pm unpopularfred: @dale - I had Scott Walker at first
	2:25pm Bloviating Ignoramus: I'm old enough to remember when HR was called Personnel.
	2:25pm ledzeppelinsucks: HR is to keep the enterprise out of the news and court.
	2:27pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks for the Fayelord plugola, Pseu!
	2:28pm Jeff Moore: O yay! Donna is the awesomest.
	2:33pm Patster: A song about ED?
	2:34pm RevWaldo: I'll take songs with obvious innuendo for 500 Alex - though I confess I had this album on repeat back in the day.
	2:38pm Gerry from Miami: When I first heard Alison Moyet on the radio when she was Yaz's vocalist, I thought she was a man. Just a nice female alto is all. I also remember being shocked seeing Tracy Chapman's video of "Fast Cars" for the first time. Another deep-voiced lady fooled me once again!
	2:39pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hi everybody!Some Brian Jonestown Massacre would be nice....
	2:41pm Krys O.: @Gerry: I've been called 'sir' on the phone occasionally because of my contralto voice.
	2:42pm McGroovey: I loved the Floodlights song, but my ear told me the bass and guitar weren't in tune with each other. I dunno.
	2:42pm Krys O.: Neil Diamond and Peter Murphy are vocal twins.
	2:43pm Faux Jean: Neil!
	2:44pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Neil Diamond is an amazing artist.
	2:44pm TimSF: I always think of Boys Town when I hear this song. Can't remember where it is, but I bought a little keychain at the gift shop.
	2:45pm morphe': Thanks Pseu and all !!!!
	2:46pm Krys O.: Was thinking about Hot August Night just the other day.
	2:49pm Faux Jean: I’m always thinking about Hot August Night.
	2:49pm RevWaldo: @Gerry from Miami - and when Yaz split up and Vince Clarke joined up with Andy Bell, a lotta folks though Andy was a girl, because he sounded at first blush a lot like Alison.
	2:50pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: When The Jayhawks do Waiting For The Sun, dude sounds like a lady, he sings so very high.
	2:50pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Sounding great at Great Kills beach! Was standing in the water while holding the portable radio and sipping a Brooklyn sour ale. About to go for an actual swim. Thanks for the tunes! I also tried the 91.9 frequency and picked up some doomsday religious stuff.
	2:50pm RevWaldo: ^ to form Erasure
	2:51pm Gerry from Miami: Gotta run, Pseu with a Hook! As always, super show with super tunes.Catch you next week. Stay cool in this summer heat blast furnace.
	2:54pm radioronan: Thanks Pseu!
	2:57pm mb: Thx Pseu !
	2:57pm Tim in the Projectorium: Cool music for a hot afternoon, thanks Pseu!
	2:58pm vinylmonkee: Thanks Pseu!
	2:58pm Krys O.: Thanks, Pseu!
	2:58pm Gerry from Miami: True that, RevWaldo! Andy's voice was a bit higher than Alyson's. But none of them surpassed Jimmy Sommerville with Bronski Beat.
	2:59pm PaulRobeson1920: Thank you for the real cool music Pseu!!! Thank you!
