	12:18pm Tom from Stirling.: Hi Pseu, what's new?
	12:19pm Bakester: Funny: doesn't sound like Gram Parsons...
	12:20pm McGroovey: I don't remember this Lou Gramm song. I was listening to college radio in 1987, not commercial radio, and Lou Gramm would have been verboten on our college radio station. It's a great song!
	12:21pm Yes: 😎
	12:22pm James in ATL: Aloha Pseu and Hookers! Thank you you this great set of music, Pseu. Much needed today.
	12:22pm KWilde: Good afternoon
	12:25pm James in ATL: Joe Belock played Luanne by Foreigner the other day and it was the first time I had heard it since high school. I was amazed how much I enjoyed it.
	12:27pm Therese: Hello!
	12:29pm Pseu Braun: missed joe's show but u know what they say abt great minds
	12:29pm listener 126464: Hi Pseu, everyone.
	12:32pm herb.nyc: G’day mates. (Am practicing my Australian) Scott W told us that Australian Jonathan richman bklyn shows are canceled, next month. Anyone know about Australia’s the Beths, their 1/22 Webster hall show?
	12:33pm McGroovey: Sometimes, songs that sound crappy now will sound better in hindsight.
	12:33pm eastvanhalen: I'd forgotten about Midnight Blue! Fun surprise.
	12:35pm eastvanhalen: Also nice to actually wake up in time for the theme this week
	12:36pm James in ATL: Best intro of any show on WFMU. Love that song!
	12:39pm bradford: it's possible
	12:39pm eastvanhalen: Pseu's Thing with a Hook: radio that asks you to ponder - are you awful?
	12:42pm unpopularfred: Is rant this about Howard Stern ? I have no idea, he just ticks of the boxes
	12:42pm steveo: yes of course i'm awful;; can't find the dead celebrity twitterer -- anyone?
	12:43pm McGroovey: I'd love to see the Beths, but I'm not rushing to buy tickets for live shows, after having gotten the COVID in December possibly at or going to a Yo La Tengo or Eyelids show, or possibly not not necessarily somehow else. I had a ticket to one of the canceled Jonathan Richman shows. My wife is one of his #1 fans. We still have tickets to the Suzzy & Lucy Roche show in...where? Montclair? We'll see if that comes off as scheduled. Mrs McGroovey is also a #1 Roches fan.
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: NO, unpopularfred
	12:44pm Krys O.: Scratch a narcissist and you might find a battered and insecure ego. That's what they are afraid of showing even to themselves. I follow an account on YouTube of a psychotherapist who offers advice on how to deal with narcissists in various scenarios and the prevailing answer is "walk away." BTW-Ignoring a narcissist is the best weapon.
	12:47pm Krys O.: FYI-Here is the link to said YouTube account. The therapists voice and demeanor is very relaxing. www.youtube.com...
	12:48pm egould310: Multiple guitars!!!
	12:49pm egould310: Just read the Wikipedia entry for Martin Shkreli. He seems like a real piece o’ crap.
	12:49pm Potato Salad: Dr Ramani on youtube is also a great resource for dealing with narcissists
	12:50pm Krys O.: Yes, I like her too, Potato Salad.
	12:51pm People Like Us: the person Pseu is talking about is definitely battered
	12:52pm herb.nyc: The Beths say they are still doing the US/Canada tour but they are going to start a few weeks later and move East coast shows to end of tour. So, Webster Hall show is moved from 1/22 to 2/23. Hopefully by then cases will go down somewhat.
	12:52pm herb.nyc: Mr mcgroovey, get healthy!
	12:54pm Mike Sin: Cranking up this DT's track quite loud -- sounds great!
	12:58pm morphe': KRYsO - "Scratch a narcissist [12:44 above]..." that is a very accurate analysis ... the behavior hides deep, underlying issues but the syndrome simultaneously does not allow them to open up and heal even if in therapy as they cannot expose their vulnerability ... it is a double whammy with no exit except - as the partner -> to exit !!!! That is my Madrid life - trying to care for my child in a minefield ... guiding him as best as I can and myself too to avoid the dangers..
	1:04pm SmokinJ: Very sweet set Pseu! THX...
	1:04pm Glistener MW: !!! Pseu, is this brand new Black Watch? I love it!!! 🖤
	1:06pm Pseu Braun: HI VICKIIIIXOXO
	1:07pm morphe': On a good note - the moon is 3/4s full and the New Moon/Lunar New Year begins 1Feb2022 so we can say Happy New year with reason... and Sping soon comes and [Hopefully} Covid doth fall and LIVE MUSIC (and More) returns to the live front!!! Be safe and well all !!! Thanks for spinning Pseu ... must walkabout and get some food stuffs...
	1:10pm McGroovey: OK. Every week there's something I absolutely have to buy right now, and this Motor!k thing is this week's.
	1:13pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hey McGroovey, Thanks for the update on The Beths Webster Hall show Herb.NYC. That narrows the field for deciding between 3 shows (down to 2 shows) on 1/22. Kim Gordon and others play First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn, and Baby Shakes & Exbats play TV Eye. The Exbats also play TV Eye the night before, so not necessarily a conflict. That's if they don't get cancelled/rescheduled of course. I'll wait until the day of to seek tickets.
	1:14pm Baja Joe: May I say without raising any ire- Jammer!
	1:16pm Pseu Braun: Thanks, Baja Joe!
	1:20pm Stashu: <3 xoxoxo
	1:21pm Bimbus Bambus: No one donks a mic like Pseu!
	1:22pm McGroovey: @Mike did I have knowledge about the Beths show? Did I actually know anything about it? More proof that I've forgotten more than I'll ever know.
	1:22pm Creature Boy: You're money's no good here Psue
	1:23pm Roberto: One time in college I was taking a nap and awoke to the sound of my clock radio (yeah I'm old) blasting Layla by Derek etc. Once I fully awoke, I realized my radio hadn't been playing at all and it was an auditory hallucination.
	1:24pm Bimbus Bambus: if only Eric Clapton were a hallucination
	1:24pm McGroovey: Ack. Do I want to pay postage from Europe for the Motor!k? Is there I US source? I shall Google on...
	1:24pm Spunky Monkey: Pseubyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
	1:24pm Roberto: Bimbus, IKR?
	1:25pm vinylmonkee: Here's the paper regarding CBDA and CBGA: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	1:25pm The Oscar: I read an article once about a phenomenon where people hallucinate the sound of their family members coming home from work or school maybe 30 minutes before they actually arrive. What's really weird is that this phenomenon has been documented almost exclusively in Scandinavian countries, but the documentation there is extensive.
	1:25pm Roberto: Also, condolences on the loss of your TV dad, Bimb.
	1:26pm Creature Boy: I read an article......once..
	1:27pm Rick from SC: I used to work in Linden and can concur on the stench.
	1:27pm Krys O.: I am convinced that the CBD gummies I took helped stave off the after-effects of the Moderna booster last month.
	1:27pm FletcherNYC: Reality Bite?
	1:29pm Glistener MW: This sure sounds like Mothman!
	1:30pm TVP: Wikipedia says yes, Linden's named after the tree.
	1:30pm vinylmonkee: It would be great if my tinnitus was an auditory hallucination
	1:30pm Roberto: Does anyone else here get those momentary hallucinations that there's some kind of giant insect flying around the room when waking up from a deep sleep when the room is dark?
	1:30pm Krys O.: I had a head injury as a kid from a monkey bar thang event in a park. I had a concussion and hallucinated that I watched myself in bed recovering from the concussion. I was about 6 yo or so. Afterward, I would get occasional petit mal seizures that brought on auditory hallucinations. That hasn't happened since I was a pre-teen.
	1:31pm Roberto: Lol at first read, Krys, I thought you said you got a head injury from a monkey.
	1:33pm Helen: I was sitting in my home during the day wide awake and I heard a train rolling by making train horn noises. I live nowhere near train tracks/stations.
	1:33pm McGroovey: I'm constantly imagining that I'm hearing ringing in my ears, but then I realize that I am hearing actual ringing in my ears. If you know what I mean. Too much history of loud music in my life
	1:33pm Mike From Brooklyn: @McGroovey - The Beths show escaped my radar until just recently. The show seems sold out (no tickets are available on AXS.com) but I suspect reasonably priced tickets will be available on StubHub the day of the show, because Covid. Interestingly, the Webster Hall site still lists the show as scheduled for 1/22.
	1:33pm Greg O: Pseu, sounds to me that you might have been briefly taken over by a dog's spirit as it was passing on, and experienced the fright of a dog hearing a loud sound
	1:34pm Greg O: that or else it was indigestion
	1:34pm happymaan: I'm sorry, when is that Allen Toussaint b-day show and on what stream?
	1:35pm happymaan: I need to shower, but then I got a text saying I'm not working tonight...so???
	1:35pm Roberto: Continue wallowing in the stank, happyman.
	1:35pm McGroovey: High Water Marks: Oh, I can't resist pop songs that have this kind of melodic guitar figure thing going on.
	1:36pm Pseu Braun: Friday 1/14 2-4pm on Rock n' Soul radio stream, @happyman
	1:36pm happymaan: There we go @Roberto!
	1:36pm happymaan: Thank you Pseu!
	1:36pm herb.nyc: High Water Marks. I like. I thought it was Pale Lights. (Singer is NYPL guy, super cool)
	1:37pm winston legthigh: hi pseu, hookers.
	1:38pm Roberto: You're saving precious water!
	1:39pm Jack McGuire: 2nd Grade rules.
	1:40pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Pseu and Hookers
	1:42pm McGroovey: High Water Marks: $50ish with shipping for the LP from Norway, no CD available. Ack!
	1:42pm Roberto: Charlotte <3
	1:43pm Mike From Brooklyn: The High Water Marks appear to be from the US and Norway. I wonder if Gary Olson has any connection with them.
	1:43pm People Like Us: hi Pseu :) xxx
	1:45pm McGroovey: ...But $23 shipped, from megAmazon
	1:45pm Ochre Ogre: Helen- Maybe you live near me, I'm a bit of a RR nerd and occasionally play train videos on Youtube rather loud.
	1:46pm Krys O.: All right! I'm not hearing this Dua Lipa 20x a day here at work anymore. It is nice to hear it now.
	1:46pm Brenna: i love that you're playing pop, Sue
	1:46pm queems: a sample of a sample
	1:48pm winston legthigh: the radiators just happen to be playing tipitinas this weekend while im in nola yay!
	1:51pm latinXcape: Greetings Pseu, all. Here for the delicious vibes. Also, my wife has been known to wake up to seeing spiders and tree people. Hallucination or half sleep-half awake situation? idk
	1:51pm Ochre Ogre: McGroovey- Old saying goes: Left ear ringing someone is speaking badly about you, right ear, someone saying something good about you. Or, too much loud music, just ask some of the members of Sonic Youth.
	1:58pm I k e: My mom is in her 70s and listens to top-40 radio. She likes Dua Lipa. What sample was Dua Lipa sampling there? I can’t quite place that (90s?) pop sample.
	1:58pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Woa...the beginning melody sounds just like this band I used to see at Toads Place several centuries ago. It was The Simms Brothers Band. Weird.
	1:59pm Roberto: "I Could Never Be Your Woman"
	1:59pm Mister Dobalina: This track has been getting a lot of play on FMU & I like that! HiYa, Pseu!
	2:00pm egould310: I like these different dB’s mixes alot. Fresh sounds.
	2:00pm maria: Was that an XTC song?
	2:01pm Bimbus Bambus: @ I k e, it's a sample from a 1930s song. There's a great Song Exploder episode about it!
	2:01pm winston legthigh: the hostest with the mostest.
	2:02pm -жеи: Definitely not wearing any patchouli
	2:02pm Krys O.: White Town sampled Al Bowlly's My Woman in their song I Could Never Be Your Woman. Patchouli is death for asthmatics.
	2:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: totally here for the nasal hallucinations.
	2:02pm GeorgeSimian: Patchouli is the worst! Should be banned.
	2:03pm Krys O.: Whenever you see a skull and crossbones on a bottle in a cartoon it is patchouli.
	2:03pm Greg O: perhaps you are channeling the nasal sensorial powers of a dog...
	2:03pm GeorgeSimian: I don't know how it lingers so long. You can smell it down the block too.
	2:04pm winston legthigh: patchouli is a date killer.
	2:04pm Ochre Ogre: Organic patchouli!!
	2:05pm GeorgeSimian: I'd rather have Covid than smell patchouli
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I thought Ken wore Hai Karate.
	2:05pm happymaan: The multiroom audio on my Alexa's is out of sync so Pseu's voice is oddly echoing throughout the house, it's very disorienting
	2:06pm efd: @Woods it's Canoe, actually.
	2:06pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Watched a lot of Igor Levit over the last couple of years. Truly incredible.
	2:07pm Greg O: I always had the sense that Ken was more of an Old Spice kind of guy
	2:07pm Therese: Just remembered this gem, which was a go to for my 9th grade self: fimgs.net...
	2:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd: Ah, good to know. I'm an Old Spice man myself.
	2:07pm Mister Dobalina: Backdoor Minnie!
	2:07pm -жеи: OMG NOW I KNOW WHERE THE PATCHOULI IS COMING FROM!
	2:08pm People Like Us: where?
	2:08pm listener 126464: Ken stepped in it
	2:08pm -жеи: It's coming from inside the building! From Studio B. That's all I can say
	2:09pm People Like Us: well that doesn't help!
	2:09pm Ochre Ogre: AH HA!
	2:09pm Greg O: saBotage!
	2:09pm winston legthigh: frank zappa is in studio b
	2:10pm -жеи: We have a new patchouli-sporting DJ who was just trained in Studio B this morning
	2:10pm Will the Sound Guy: lol, Ken has the patchouli info!!
	2:10pm People Like Us: you need to put it on the wiki, no patchouli
	2:11pm Listening Out There: HR at FMU needs to enforce the no patchouli policy, I'd say...
	2:11pm People Like Us: i thought pseu was stopping the song to talk about patchouli
	2:11pm Morgan: maybe its patchouli scented coron-off
	2:11pm winston legthigh: patchouli is ruining the smells, now the sounds, its awfulness knows no bounds.
	2:12pm -жеи: I smelled it when I arrived this morning and then i BECAME part of the patchouli, and I forgot about it
	2:12pm Pseu Braun: Ken, you've been infected!
	2:12pm GeorgeSimian: I feel bad for 9th grade @therese
	2:12pm People Like Us: chapooli
	2:13pm Ochre Ogre: Best of luck to the new DJ! I wonder what music format can we expect from a patchouli DJ?
	2:15pm I k e: @Ken, I had a dream that some kind of ultra-toxic super-acidic flying Japanese bugs were eating WFMU’s whole building. So whatever woes you face IRL, such as patchouli, at least acid bugs aren’t eating you.
	2:16pm Krys O.: The station needs a fogger and a few gallons of Benefect thymol disinfectant.
	2:16pm Ochre Ogre: Oh no, Ken has entered the patchouli dimension!
	2:18pm kev: I take my grandkids to shows regularly
	2:19pm happymaan: Whose remix is this?
	2:21pm GeorgeSimian: U2 is the patchouli of music
	2:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: festive personal aromas by Filthy Hippies™
	2:22pm James in Oregon: glad that one's over
	2:23pm winston legthigh: u2 cover surprisingly nice
	2:23pm Pseu Braun: it is a tremendous cover, agreed. If anyone hates just b/c it's "that band" they need to gtfu
	2:25pm bradford: awesome cover of a lesser sabbath song...
	2:26pm winston legthigh: night and day written by cole porter performed by frank sinatra in 1942.
	2:27pm I k e: @happy, I think that is U2’s original (cover) version of that Cole Porter song (from a comp). Hot take: I like U2. Well, up to about “Zooropa” anyway. And that’s a good cover. Definitely better than Frank Sleaze-rat-ra, that smug MFer.
	2:28pm Andres: Hi, Pseu and all! I’ve been enjoying the show at home and now while in line at Tim’s for a medium double double.
	2:29pm I k e: Uh oh, I’ll never be allowed back in Hoboken now.
	2:30pm winston legthigh: if u2 covered send in the clowns now that would be something.
	2:31pm Therese: @GeorgeSimian: you don't know the half of it...
	2:31pm Ochre Ogre: Damn, just what I'd expect from Moon Duo, Beautiful! Love Big Blood's Sabbath cover too.
	2:31pm morphe': KrysO not sure if ya saw my post earlier.. I went for a walk and food shopping .. either way ... be well and safe.. morphe': KRYsO - "Scratch a narcissist [12:44 above]..." that is a very accurate analysis ... the behavior hides deep, underlying issues but the syndrome simultaneously does not allow them to open up and heal even if in therapy as they cannot expose their vulnerability ... it is a double whammy with no exit except - as the partner -> to exit !!!! That is my Madrid life - trying to care for my child in a minefield ... guiding him as best as I can and myself too to avoid the dangers..
	2:33pm Pseu Braun: @Andres -- Jealous although I brought my Tim's in a tall contigo thermal, buddy
	2:34pm Andres: Cheers, Pseu!
	2:35pm winston legthigh: thanks for pointing that out morphe'. the narcissist trolls hate it when they are ignored which is the best medicine.
	2:37pm Son Of Pantz: New Lush?!!
	2:37pm Juli: I wanna play musick wit others: I have to drag my fucking guitarist for the band I am in to come see me it sucks :(:(:(:(:(:( This weekend I hope to play drums while my bf plays Barry Sax Any musicians on the chatboard?
	2:40pm Juli: I am going to buy turntables soon to play alone and I will run my vocals thru a pedal to be more interested in creating by myself: but I need gear for noise and ambient music: we have a small synth I am learning
	2:40pm Juli: Anyone know noise musicians who wanna sell gear? Thanks
	2:43pm Roberto: Well, I just ate shite on two LinkedIn skills assessments. Gonna go walk it off.
	2:43pm morphe': Juli - my mother and father from Ireland= true The only singer in my family was a sewing machine.. We could not carry a tune in a wheelbarrow.. I played Old stoves and old refrigerators with hammers before Tompkins Square Park got shut down 1987?? My children know all kinds of stuff: harmonica, Tin Whistle, Bodhran, plastic sax and trumpet ... some hope in the - skipped a generation theory??
	2:43pm Juli: Patchouli mixed w other scents is nice haha

	2:46pm Roberto: Walk it off in my Garbage Time tee!
	2:46pm Krys O.: Aw...love that Carl & the Passions album.
	2:47pm Ochre Ogre: morphe- Indeed, your narcissist comment gave me thought, if only the main stream non far Reich media completely ignored the former Orange Reptile president.
	2:48pm JohnEBGood: Kool Hooks today Pseu. Thanks 👌
	2:48pm SamTheRam: Carl & The Passions, always a nice touch!
	2:49pm morphe': Juli - old stoves and ovens with hammers count.. Check out Nihilst Spasm Band - Canada and Harry Partch - well known American composer - all his stuff is in dry pack awaiting a group that can do justice to his sound(s) https://www.secondinversion.org/2016/04/21/concert-preview-meet-the-instruments-the-harry-partch-instrumentarium/
	2:50pm Juli: You Anti Hippie Art Snobs hehe I always ignored Trump: never once spoke of him: bc that is how you win: or kill them w kindness and walk away at the same time: Morphe word: I come from a Noise Scene which I am still friends w some of them but fought w some: the Nazi ones esp. but yeah I have seen and heard it literally all haha Love y'all gotta stop talking hehe just got off work and I am in a great mood hehe

	2:54pm Polly.: i used to work with a narcissist, then i decided i wouldnt speak to him at all. it was freaking awesome. it really gives yu back control of the craziness.
	2:56pm listener 126464: Thank you Pseu.
	2:57pm Juli: You have to learn there is no winning w a sociopath/narcissist: ugh too many of them in the art and music scene which is what I decided to study lmao So now I am stuck w no friends bc I was around sociopaths for twenty years lmao
	2:57pm morphe': KrysO - hope I did not offend??? I was agreeing with you. Sincere.. morphe'
	2:57pm Miss G: Thank you for The Monochrome Set, Pseu!

	12:04pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hello Pseu & fellow listeners.
	12:05pm chris_in_space: Hey all. Stoked for some Hooks.
	12:06pm vinylmonkee: Greetings Pseu and Hookers!
	12:07pm Garth: Greetings from St. Louis!
	12:07pm Tome: HiyA Pseu !<>!
	12:18pm bradford: oh Louis Grammatico, is there anything you can't do right?
	12:18pm steveo: 1987. Wow I wonder when was the last time I heard this
	12:18pm M C: really nice tune
	12:18pm Tom from Stirling.: Hi Pseu, what's new?
	12:19pm Bakester: Funny: doesn't sound like Gram Parsons...
	12:20pm McGroovey: I don't remember this Lou Gramm song. I was listening to college radio in 1987, not commercial radio, and Lou Gramm would have been verboten on our college radio station. It's a great song!
	12:21pm Yes: 😎
	12:22pm James in ATL: Aloha Pseu and Hookers! Thank you you this great set of music, Pseu. Much needed today.
	12:22pm KWilde: Good afternoon
	12:25pm James in ATL: Joe Belock played Luanne by Foreigner the other day and it was the first time I had heard it since high school. I was amazed how much I enjoyed it.
	12:27pm Therese: Hello!
	12:29pm Pseu Braun: missed joe's show but u know what they say abt great minds
	12:29pm listener 126464: Hi Pseu, everyone.
	12:32pm herb.nyc: G’day mates. (Am practicing my Australian) Scott W told us that Australian Jonathan richman bklyn shows are canceled, next month. Anyone know about Australia’s the Beths, their 1/22 Webster hall show?
	12:33pm McGroovey: Sometimes, songs that sound crappy now will sound better in hindsight.
	12:33pm eastvanhalen: I'd forgotten about Midnight Blue! Fun surprise.
	12:35pm eastvanhalen: Also nice to actually wake up in time for the theme this week
	12:36pm James in ATL: Best intro of any show on WFMU. Love that song!
	12:39pm bradford: it's possible
	12:39pm eastvanhalen: Pseu's Thing with a Hook: radio that asks you to ponder - are you awful?
	12:42pm unpopularfred: Is rant this about Howard Stern ? I have no idea, he just ticks of the boxes
	12:42pm steveo: yes of course i'm awful;; can't find the dead celebrity twitterer -- anyone?
	12:43pm McGroovey: I'd love to see the Beths, but I'm not rushing to buy tickets for live shows, after having gotten the COVID in December possibly at or going to a Yo La Tengo or Eyelids show, or possibly not not necessarily somehow else. I had a ticket to one of the canceled Jonathan Richman shows. My wife is one of his #1 fans. We still have tickets to the Suzzy & Lucy Roche show in...where? Montclair? We'll see if that comes off as scheduled. Mrs McGroovey is also a #1 Roches fan.
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: NO, unpopularfred
	12:44pm Krys O.: Scratch a narcissist and you might find a battered and insecure ego. That's what they are afraid of showing even to themselves. I follow an account on YouTube of a psychotherapist who offers advice on how to deal with narcissists in various scenarios and the prevailing answer is "walk away." BTW-Ignoring a narcissist is the best weapon.
	12:47pm Krys O.: FYI-Here is the link to said YouTube account. The therapists voice and demeanor is very relaxing. www.youtube.com...
	12:48pm egould310: Multiple guitars!!!
	12:49pm egould310: Just read the Wikipedia entry for Martin Shkreli. He seems like a real piece o’ crap.
	12:49pm Potato Salad: Dr Ramani on youtube is also a great resource for dealing with narcissists
	12:50pm Krys O.: Yes, I like her too, Potato Salad.
	12:51pm People Like Us: the person Pseu is talking about is definitely battered
	12:52pm herb.nyc: The Beths say they are still doing the US/Canada tour but they are going to start a few weeks later and move East coast shows to end of tour. So, Webster Hall show is moved from 1/22 to 2/23. Hopefully by then cases will go down somewhat.
	12:52pm herb.nyc: Mr mcgroovey, get healthy!
	12:54pm Mike Sin: Cranking up this DT's track quite loud -- sounds great!
	12:58pm morphe': KRYsO - "Scratch a narcissist [12:44 above]..." that is a very accurate analysis ... the behavior hides deep, underlying issues but the syndrome simultaneously does not allow them to open up and heal even if in therapy as they cannot expose their vulnerability ... it is a double whammy with no exit except - as the partner -> to exit !!!! That is my Madrid life - trying to care for my child in a minefield ... guiding him as best as I can and myself too to avoid the dangers..
	1:04pm SmokinJ: Very sweet set Pseu! THX...
	1:04pm Glistener MW: !!! Pseu, is this brand new Black Watch? I love it!!! 🖤
	1:06pm Pseu Braun: HI VICKIIIIXOXO
	1:07pm morphe': On a good note - the moon is 3/4s full and the New Moon/Lunar New Year begins 1Feb2022 so we can say Happy New year with reason... and Sping soon comes and [Hopefully} Covid doth fall and LIVE MUSIC (and More) returns to the live front!!! Be safe and well all !!! Thanks for spinning Pseu ... must walkabout and get some food stuffs...
	1:10pm McGroovey: OK. Every week there's something I absolutely have to buy right now, and this Motor!k thing is this week's.
	1:13pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hey McGroovey, Thanks for the update on The Beths Webster Hall show Herb.NYC. That narrows the field for deciding between 3 shows (down to 2 shows) on 1/22. Kim Gordon and others play First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn, and Baby Shakes & Exbats play TV Eye. The Exbats also play TV Eye the night before, so not necessarily a conflict. That's if they don't get cancelled/rescheduled of course. I'll wait until the day of to seek tickets.
	1:14pm Baja Joe: May I say without raising any ire- Jammer!
	1:16pm Pseu Braun: Thanks, Baja Joe!
	1:20pm Stashu: <3 xoxoxo
	1:21pm Bimbus Bambus: No one donks a mic like Pseu!
	1:22pm McGroovey: @Mike did I have knowledge about the Beths show? Did I actually know anything about it? More proof that I've forgotten more than I'll ever know.
	1:22pm Creature Boy: You're money's no good here Psue
	1:23pm Roberto: One time in college I was taking a nap and awoke to the sound of my clock radio (yeah I'm old) blasting Layla by Derek etc. Once I fully awoke, I realized my radio hadn't been playing at all and it was an auditory hallucination.
	1:24pm Bimbus Bambus: if only Eric Clapton were a hallucination
	1:24pm McGroovey: Ack. Do I want to pay postage from Europe for the Motor!k? Is there I US source? I shall Google on...
	1:24pm Spunky Monkey: Pseubyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
	1:24pm Roberto: Bimbus, IKR?
	1:25pm vinylmonkee: Here's the paper regarding CBDA and CBGA: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	1:25pm The Oscar: I read an article once about a phenomenon where people hallucinate the sound of their family members coming home from work or school maybe 30 minutes before they actually arrive. What's really weird is that this phenomenon has been documented almost exclusively in Scandinavian countries, but the documentation there is extensive.
	1:25pm Roberto: Also, condolences on the loss of your TV dad, Bimb.
	1:26pm Creature Boy: I read an article......once..
	1:27pm Rick from SC: I used to work in Linden and can concur on the stench.
	1:27pm Krys O.: I am convinced that the CBD gummies I took helped stave off the after-effects of the Moderna booster last month.
	1:27pm FletcherNYC: Reality Bite?
	1:29pm Glistener MW: This sure sounds like Mothman!
	1:30pm TVP: Wikipedia says yes, Linden's named after the tree.
	1:30pm vinylmonkee: It would be great if my tinnitus was an auditory hallucination
	1:30pm Roberto: Does anyone else here get those momentary hallucinations that there's some kind of giant insect flying around the room when waking up from a deep sleep when the room is dark?
	1:30pm Krys O.: I had a head injury as a kid from a monkey bar thang event in a park. I had a concussion and hallucinated that I watched myself in bed recovering from the concussion. I was about 6 yo or so. Afterward, I would get occasional petit mal seizures that brought on auditory hallucinations. That hasn't happened since I was a pre-teen.
	1:31pm Roberto: Lol at first read, Krys, I thought you said you got a head injury from a monkey.
	1:33pm Helen: I was sitting in my home during the day wide awake and I heard a train rolling by making train horn noises. I live nowhere near train tracks/stations.
	1:33pm McGroovey: I'm constantly imagining that I'm hearing ringing in my ears, but then I realize that I am hearing actual ringing in my ears. If you know what I mean. Too much history of loud music in my life
	1:33pm Mike From Brooklyn: @McGroovey - The Beths show escaped my radar until just recently. The show seems sold out (no tickets are available on AXS.com) but I suspect reasonably priced tickets will be available on StubHub the day of the show, because Covid. Interestingly, the Webster Hall site still lists the show as scheduled for 1/22.
	1:33pm Greg O: Pseu, sounds to me that you might have been briefly taken over by a dog's spirit as it was passing on, and experienced the fright of a dog hearing a loud sound
	1:34pm Greg O: that or else it was indigestion
	1:34pm happymaan: I'm sorry, when is that Allen Toussaint b-day show and on what stream?
	1:35pm happymaan: I need to shower, but then I got a text saying I'm not working tonight...so???
	1:35pm Roberto: Continue wallowing in the stank, happyman.
	1:35pm McGroovey: High Water Marks: Oh, I can't resist pop songs that have this kind of melodic guitar figure thing going on.
	1:36pm Pseu Braun: Friday 1/14 2-4pm on Rock n' Soul radio stream, @happyman
	1:36pm happymaan: There we go @Roberto!
	1:36pm happymaan: Thank you Pseu!
	1:36pm herb.nyc: High Water Marks. I like. I thought it was Pale Lights. (Singer is NYPL guy, super cool)
	1:37pm winston legthigh: hi pseu, hookers.
	1:38pm Roberto: You're saving precious water!
	1:39pm Jack McGuire: 2nd Grade rules.
	1:40pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Pseu and Hookers
	1:42pm McGroovey: High Water Marks: $50ish with shipping for the LP from Norway, no CD available. Ack!
	1:42pm Roberto: Charlotte <3
	1:43pm Mike From Brooklyn: The High Water Marks appear to be from the US and Norway. I wonder if Gary Olson has any connection with them.
	1:43pm People Like Us: hi Pseu :) xxx
	1:45pm McGroovey: ...But $23 shipped, from megAmazon
	1:45pm Ochre Ogre: Helen- Maybe you live near me, I'm a bit of a RR nerd and occasionally play train videos on Youtube rather loud.
	1:46pm Krys O.: All right! I'm not hearing this Dua Lipa 20x a day here at work anymore. It is nice to hear it now.
	1:46pm Brenna: i love that you're playing pop, Sue
	1:46pm queems: a sample of a sample
	1:48pm winston legthigh: the radiators just happen to be playing tipitinas this weekend while im in nola yay!
	1:51pm latinXcape: Greetings Pseu, all. Here for the delicious vibes. Also, my wife has been known to wake up to seeing spiders and tree people. Hallucination or half sleep-half awake situation? idk
	1:51pm Ochre Ogre: McGroovey- Old saying goes: Left ear ringing someone is speaking badly about you, right ear, someone saying something good about you. Or, too much loud music, just ask some of the members of Sonic Youth.
	1:58pm I k e: My mom is in her 70s and listens to top-40 radio. She likes Dua Lipa. What sample was Dua Lipa sampling there? I can’t quite place that (90s?) pop sample.
	1:58pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Woa...the beginning melody sounds just like this band I used to see at Toads Place several centuries ago. It was The Simms Brothers Band. Weird.
	1:59pm Roberto: "I Could Never Be Your Woman"
	1:59pm Mister Dobalina: This track has been getting a lot of play on FMU & I like that! HiYa, Pseu!
	2:00pm egould310: I like these different dB’s mixes alot. Fresh sounds.
	2:00pm maria: Was that an XTC song?
	2:01pm Bimbus Bambus: @ I k e, it's a sample from a 1930s song. There's a great Song Exploder episode about it!
	2:01pm winston legthigh: the hostest with the mostest.
	2:02pm -жеи: Definitely not wearing any patchouli
	2:02pm Krys O.: White Town sampled Al Bowlly's My Woman in their song I Could Never Be Your Woman. Patchouli is death for asthmatics.
	2:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: totally here for the nasal hallucinations.
	2:02pm GeorgeSimian: Patchouli is the worst! Should be banned.
	2:03pm Krys O.: Whenever you see a skull and crossbones on a bottle in a cartoon it is patchouli.
	2:03pm Greg O: perhaps you are channeling the nasal sensorial powers of a dog...
	2:03pm GeorgeSimian: I don't know how it lingers so long. You can smell it down the block too.
	2:04pm winston legthigh: patchouli is a date killer.
	2:04pm Ochre Ogre: Organic patchouli!!
	2:05pm GeorgeSimian: I'd rather have Covid than smell patchouli
	2:05pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I thought Ken wore Hai Karate.
	2:05pm happymaan: The multiroom audio on my Alexa's is out of sync so Pseu's voice is oddly echoing throughout the house, it's very disorienting
	2:06pm efd: @Woods it's Canoe, actually.
	2:06pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Watched a lot of Igor Levit over the last couple of years. Truly incredible.
	2:07pm Greg O: I always had the sense that Ken was more of an Old Spice kind of guy
	2:07pm Therese: Just remembered this gem, which was a go to for my 9th grade self: fimgs.net...
	2:07pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @efd: Ah, good to know. I'm an Old Spice man myself.
	2:07pm Mister Dobalina: Backdoor Minnie!
	2:07pm -жеи: OMG NOW I KNOW WHERE THE PATCHOULI IS COMING FROM!
	2:08pm People Like Us: where?
	2:08pm listener 126464: Ken stepped in it
	2:08pm -жеи: It's coming from inside the building! From Studio B. That's all I can say
	2:09pm People Like Us: well that doesn't help!
	2:09pm Ochre Ogre: AH HA!
	2:09pm Greg O: saBotage!
	2:09pm winston legthigh: frank zappa is in studio b
	2:10pm -жеи: We have a new patchouli-sporting DJ who was just trained in Studio B this morning
	2:10pm Will the Sound Guy: lol, Ken has the patchouli info!!
	2:10pm People Like Us: you need to put it on the wiki, no patchouli
	2:11pm Listening Out There: HR at FMU needs to enforce the no patchouli policy, I'd say...
	2:11pm People Like Us: i thought pseu was stopping the song to talk about patchouli
	2:11pm Morgan: maybe its patchouli scented coron-off
	2:11pm winston legthigh: patchouli is ruining the smells, now the sounds, its awfulness knows no bounds.
	2:12pm -жеи: I smelled it when I arrived this morning and then i BECAME part of the patchouli, and I forgot about it
	2:12pm Pseu Braun: Ken, you've been infected!
	2:12pm GeorgeSimian: I feel bad for 9th grade @therese
	2:12pm People Like Us: chapooli
	2:13pm Ochre Ogre: Best of luck to the new DJ! I wonder what music format can we expect from a patchouli DJ?
	2:15pm I k e: @Ken, I had a dream that some kind of ultra-toxic super-acidic flying Japanese bugs were eating WFMU’s whole building. So whatever woes you face IRL, such as patchouli, at least acid bugs aren’t eating you.
	2:16pm Krys O.: The station needs a fogger and a few gallons of Benefect thymol disinfectant.
	2:16pm Ochre Ogre: Oh no, Ken has entered the patchouli dimension!
	2:18pm kev: I take my grandkids to shows regularly
	2:19pm happymaan: Whose remix is this?
	2:21pm GeorgeSimian: U2 is the patchouli of music
	2:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: festive personal aromas by Filthy Hippies™
	2:22pm James in Oregon: glad that one's over
	2:23pm winston legthigh: u2 cover surprisingly nice
	2:23pm Pseu Braun: it is a tremendous cover, agreed. If anyone hates just b/c it's "that band" they need to gtfu
	2:25pm bradford: awesome cover of a lesser sabbath song...
	2:26pm winston legthigh: night and day written by cole porter performed by frank sinatra in 1942.
	2:27pm I k e: @happy, I think that is U2’s original (cover) version of that Cole Porter song (from a comp). Hot take: I like U2. Well, up to about “Zooropa” anyway. And that’s a good cover. Definitely better than Frank Sleaze-rat-ra, that smug MFer.
	2:28pm Andres: Hi, Pseu and all! I’ve been enjoying the show at home and now while in line at Tim’s for a medium double double.
	2:29pm I k e: Uh oh, I’ll never be allowed back in Hoboken now.
	2:30pm winston legthigh: if u2 covered send in the clowns now that would be something.
	2:31pm Therese: @GeorgeSimian: you don't know the half of it...
	2:31pm Ochre Ogre: Damn, just what I'd expect from Moon Duo, Beautiful! Love Big Blood's Sabbath cover too.
	2:31pm morphe': KrysO not sure if ya saw my post earlier.. I went for a walk and food shopping .. either way ... be well and safe.. morphe': KRYsO - "Scratch a narcissist [12:44 above]..." that is a very accurate analysis ... the behavior hides deep, underlying issues but the syndrome simultaneously does not allow them to open up and heal even if in therapy as they cannot expose their vulnerability ... it is a double whammy with no exit except - as the partner -> to exit !!!! That is my Madrid life - trying to care for my child in a minefield ... guiding him as best as I can and myself too to avoid the dangers..
	2:33pm Pseu Braun: @Andres -- Jealous although I brought my Tim's in a tall contigo thermal, buddy
	2:34pm Andres: Cheers, Pseu!

	2:40pm Juli: Anyone know noise musicians who wanna sell gear? Thanks
	2:43pm Roberto: Well, I just ate shite on two LinkedIn skills assessments. Gonna go walk it off.

	2:46pm Krys O.: Aw...love that Carl & the Passions album.
	2:47pm Ochre Ogre: morphe- Indeed, your narcissist comment gave me thought, if only the main stream non far Reich media completely ignored the former Orange Reptile president.
	2:48pm JohnEBGood: Kool Hooks today Pseu. Thanks 👌
	2:48pm SamTheRam: Carl & The Passions, always a nice touch!
	2:49pm morphe': Juli - old stoves and ovens with hammers count..

	2:56pm listener 126464: Thank you Pseu.
	2:57pm Juli: You have to learn there is no winning w a sociopath/narcissist: ugh too many of them in the art and music scene which is what I decided to study lmao So now I am stuck w no friends bc I was around sociopaths for twenty years lmao
	2:57pm morphe': KrysO - hope I did not offend??? I was agreeing with you. Sincere.. morphe'
