	🥀 3:03pm Handy Haversack: Mona, mon amie! Mes amis! What a treat! It has been way too long. I guess K8 and I have been going out on Friday nights again.
	3:04pm Miss G: Aaron in MPLS are you seriosly on the way to the station RIGHT NOW?! So exciting!
	3:04pm Aaron in Minneapolis: I am I can see it now!!!!
	3:04pm Miss G: All day I have had the powerful feeling, like Handy always says, "never turn off the radio!"
	3:05pm βrian: Living the Monastic life, yo.
	3:06pm Miss G: Aaron if they have an extra surgical mask, wear two please! (sorry to be a bummer but I will stop now and dance wildly to what Mona will play!)
	3:06pm efd: Mona!! Nice to hear you at a more favorable (for me at least) listening hour!
	3:06pm Aaron in Minneapolis: If any staff is reading this can u put the ramp up? Or down?
	3:06pm TDK60: Hola Mona.
	3:07pm Mona: hey aaron, i'll let ken know! excited to meet you!
	🥀 3:07pm Handy Haversack: Is Aaron filling in for Mark Hurst? What's going on today? Wild times!
	3:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	3:09pm Miss G: Oh! (rumor mill beginning) if Aaron fills in for Mark Hurst I will stop eating my tiny cup of coffee ice cream and save it for 6 PM! Oh wait! I have ceremonial cacao! That'll do it!
	3:09pm listener james from westwood: Howdy, Olivia and all! Killer opening track!
	🥀 3:10pm Handy Haversack: GIF has synced up perfectly once so far.
	🥀 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mona's Meshuggah Before Monday Midnight! Everybody dance!
	3:11pm Flathead Loves Shovelhead Sally: Hard to believe any version will top AW's original recording. Hello DJ..Mona(?)
	🥀 3:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: It's not so much of a ramp, Aaron, than it is a drawbridge.
	3:12pm Miss G: Are we in a Let's Party Like its 1999 scenario? I've been feelin' that the past days, and am ready. That old man (ie my age) bar next door better watch out.
	3:15pm luka: i always thought this riff needed like 50% more pinch harmonics
	3:15pm Andres: 🤘🔥
	3:15pm listener james from westwood: Well was I wrong! Sorry, Mona, for the misnaming, and hello!
	3:16pm PuraVida: Mona rocking the daylight!
	3:18pm PuraVida: Electric Hellfire Club, pride of Kenosha Wisconsin
	3:21pm McGroovey: Mona 'til dinnertime? I'll buy that!
	3:21pm Phillippe: Yay! A rare opportunity for me to hear Mona live!
	3:22pm Mona: hi friends!! is it only coming out of one channel for you?
	3:23pm Phillippe: yep, only one channel
	3:23pm PuraVida: My left channel is D-E-A-D
	3:23pm Jeff Moore: Right now, I'm hearing just left channel.
	3:23pm luka: yeah, now that you mention it, Mona.
	3:23pm Miss G: Recently Mona played this song from 1983, but I didn't know it, Ivor Cutler and Linda Hirst, "Women Of The World" and I shared it with some friends, some who were at the Women's March, some who work in social justice, and they just loved it! So thank you Mona!
	3:24pm McGroovey: I can only hear the Beautiful South in my left ear. (Autocorrect tried to turn that into "left rear", by the way.)
	🥀 3:24pm Handy Haversack: I'm outside with the Bluetooth speaker. There's a periodic buzz that I'm not sure if it's the speaker suddenly erroring or what? Like at the beginning of the last track and now in this one as well. I don't know if that's helpful!
	3:24pm Mona: thank you for saying miss g - what a perfect group to share with! thanks for confirming folks - will try to fix this asap!
	3:24pm GeorgeHatesFun: Mine wasn’t until this song, but now I’m only hearing it through the left channel.
	🥀 3:24pm Handy Haversack: I'm not sure your autocorrect has your best interests at heart, McGroovey!
	3:25pm Phillippe: no right channel for me. I'm beginning to think my wiring skills aren't what I think they were
	3:25pm Phillippe: Hey Handy! what's up w/ you and K8?
	🥀 3:26pm karlward: No right channel here either (128k MP3 stream)
	3:26pm PuraVida: Working now
	3:26pm luka: talkin comes out of both!
	🥀 3:26pm karlward: Now that Mona is talking the right channel is back
	3:26pm Phillippe: all good here too
	3:27pm McGroovey: Now, Wild Swans in my left ear... But my earbuds have a replaceable cable, and I may have replaced it the wrong way 'round last time, so it could be right-channel-only. And there's a crackle in the/my left ear, which sounds like some kind of digital clipping.
	🥀 3:27pm B R M: love hearing @mona on a Monday!
	🥀 3:27pm Handy Haversack: Todd was saying on Sat. that some channels had been switched around? Phillippe! K8's working and will be very disappointed to have missed Mona! We're hanging in. Her work sched. is starting to ease up some. I'm sitting back here with the sparrows and hoping my workday finishes up in a hurry.
	3:27pm TDK60: Yeah, FMU has a few vinyls back up in there.
	3:27pm Miss G: Zero Prep For the Win!
	3:28pm PuraVida: Zero stress here Mona, I live in Colorado, a legal weed state...
	3:28pm McGroovey: It's in both ears for me now.
	3:29pm Phillippe: @Handy say hello to K8 for us! (The sparrows too)
	3:29pm Andres: Improv show.
	🥀 3:29pm chris in the redwoods: entranced by the bad ass sk8r grrrl in that GIF. also, hellos, Mona and peeps.
	3:29pm Miss G: (being a cheerleader, because, it's true I was a cheerleader. . .my mom had been, and I loved the outfits) but Yes! This is why we donate! WFMU putting out the energies!
	3:30pm G: Mona After Midafternoon.
	🥀 3:30pm Handy Haversack: Sisters! YES! Mona, you're the best!
	3:30pm listener james from westwood: Perfect post–World Goth Day track!
	🥀 3:30pm hollow: Wow- what a great day for radio glisteners...Clay Pigeon was fantastic in the 9-12 spot...and then later in the afternoon, "I Need You Baby" coming out of the radio and it's Mona till 6P?
	3:31pm PuraVida: Glorious WFMU listener 'bonus' day Hollow
	3:32pm Pablexa™: NOICE SOM!!!!
	3:32pm G: Mona Till Techtonic?
	🥀 3:33pm hollow: Glorious PuraVida!
	3:33pm tim from washington: Hello Mona! Hello everybody! Mona - I usual listen on Friday's but rarely comment. I thoroughly enjoy your shows and you have the best transitions in the biz!
	🥀 3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Midday Mona
	🥀 3:34pm Handy Haversack: Phillippe, there were goslings on the creek today, I saw from the bridge. Baby starlings back here being extremely unquiet. The White Wind (cottonwood) has begun to blow from beyond the Wall of Sleep (knot weed). How's the cove and all who dwell there?
	3:35pm Jeff Moore: Hey, Mona! Thanks for being a fill-in hero. Way to roll with the technical punches. The show's already been swell nonetheless! I hope you're feeling combobulated by now as the hassle of getting into the station fades and the weirdness of being there while the big light is still glaring loses its power to distract and the hookup problems get resolved and you ride the wave of live DJ adaptiveness to triumph.
	🥀 3:35pm Ryansterlingvirtue: Mona? Am I dreaming?
	🥀 3:37pm Ryansterlingvirtue: If sisters at 3 pm on a sunny monday isn't a calling card, i don't know what is.
	3:39pm Mona: lol i sent out the bat (mona) signal hey handy, how was the benefit show? still bummed i missed it
	3:40pm doctorjazz: Hi Mona, digging the show!
	🥀 3:41pm Handy Haversack: The music was great, Mona! They raised $1500, too! It was a little stressful for K8, but a great night for the crowd, and several WFMU listeners made it out. They're playing next Wed. at Wonderville, in case you're around. Hope you're feeling better!
	3:43pm McGroovey: I hear a kind of harmonic overtone in my right ear on this Dory Previn song. Not sure if it's at your end, or at my end. It's possible in just having a stroke or some other brain malfunction, though.
	3:43pm McGroovey: *I'm
	🥀 3:43pm Ryansterlingvirtue: PUUUULP
	🥀 3:44pm Handy Haversack: And Francis Begbie is wanted in connection with an armed robbery in Corstorphine. Francis Begbie.
	🥀 3:45pm Ryansterlingvirtue: only slightly better than my other fav B-side, cocaine socialism.
	3:47pm PuraVida: Was just reading up on Dory Previn, what a life...
	3:48pm Andres: Divine Comedy!!
	🥀 3:48pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Pleasant surprises abound today!
	3:49pm Andres: And GIF to boot!
	🥀 3:49pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there!
	3:50pm tim from washington: I like this cover! As much as I love Bowie I'm pretty burnt out on his original of Life on Mars. This version is refreshing to hear.
	3:50pm Miss G: 🌛🌕🌜last night as I went from Astaire Rogers "Roberta" to "Last Night at Marienbad," I did sing this song to myself L ah only Neil Hannon could do this, right?
	3:51pm K8: Hello Mona and Everyone (and yes, um, hi, Handy...). I am killing time in an Irish pub on the Upper East Side before teaching a writing workshop, and it is KILLING me that I don't have headphones, and I don't think this is the kind of place that's gonna take my radio requests. I am just watching the playlist and feeling, you know, the UES bar in the afternoon blues over here...
	3:52pm Miss G: OH no! K8! The power of imagination, your remembering these songs, it is more powerful than even the UES! I taught up there! I know!
	3:52pm Stanley: Handy - should I be frightened?
	3:53pm G: The cover of Cohen that helped make this song kind of a standard.
	🥀 3:53pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey K8! Sorry I couldn't make your last show, per other posts, work is keeping me busier than a one-legged man trying to stamp out a fire in an amno warehouse...and that was BEFORE I took on more job duties. Also Mom. Hope to be able to make a weeknight show soon.
	3:54pm Phillippe: @Handy we have a couple different-sized egrets coming in and out. Osprey are nesting across the cove. We had a pair of geese with a handful of goslings, but the little ones were only around for a day. The pair is still here, but no babies (though it could be a different pair, I didn't check IDs). A couple hawks and herons. Gonna be a big snake year if the amount of sea grass already established is any indicator (and it usually is). Oooh, and a neighbor told me she saw a pair of skates doing a little dance off her pier!
	3:54pm K8: HI MISS G!!! I definitely know Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah and love it...I saw him live once before he passed, it was truly extraordinary.
	3:54pm Phillippe: Hey K8!
	🥀 3:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, K8. Sending music waveforms from my brain to yours.
	3:55pm Jeff Moore: @tim from washington et al: Yeah, a good cover can be a breath of fresh air, even if you love love love the original. Sometimes especially if you love a song but didn't quite ever get around to looking up and reading all the lyrics... So, it's "on America's tortured brow" not "on a merrycast orchard row"? Ohh, that kind of makes a lot more sense.
	3:55pm K8: @Threemoons...no worries!!! There are always more shows...another one next week, June 1st, with Prof.Fuzz 63 and Psych-O-Positive, that you might know from WFMU.
	3:55pm PuraVida: Seal also did a great acoustic version of Life on Mars
	3:56pm K8: Hi Phillippe! Hi Ken!!!
	3:56pm tim from washington: Didn't Leonard Cohen request a moratorium on Hallelujah covers?
	3:56pm The Butterman: Wife is crying. Great job, Mona.
	🥀 3:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Makes me mad there was no one there that night to talk Jeff B. from taking that fateful swim.
	3:56pm G: @tim: They got to be bit much after awhile. Artists often get sick of their biggest successes.
	🥀 3:57pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @K8 Info on C&K site? Thanks!
	3:57pm doctorjazz: Everyone and his cousin songs Hallelujah, it needs some time off (loved it at first). The cantor in synagogue when came up with a version for services...
	3:57pm The Butterman: Now she’s psyched cuz it’s a Smiths song.
	3:58pm K8: @Threemoons...definitely info on our website...it's at Wonderville in Bushwick, music starts at 8...I think we're going on at 9? But I love the other two bands...rare NYC appearance of Prof.Fuzz...they are up from Dallas!
	🥀 3:58pm Handy Haversack: I liked John Cale's version on I'm Your Fan.
	3:58pm doctorjazz: *Cantor even came up...
	3:58pm Miss G: Yes, I feel like an idiot for not going to see Jeff Buckley, glad you did get to K8. Wish I could be there on June 1 (my friends there from Germany.) If I win the Lotto tomorrow then YES! This song, however, makes me think that Mona has the 411 on the monkeypox situation and. . .I'll stop
	3:58pm Matt in NJ: Not a version I’ve heard before. Good stuff.
	4:00pm listener monica: if Dory Previn and Leonard Cohen wrote songs about each other...
	🥀 4:01pm Ryansterlingvirtue: As Camera Obscura says, Turn Dory Previn up to 11, "for the band's ears to bleed"
	4:01pm go.forth.and.thrash____: Leonard Previn was my dentist and attorney in the late eighties.
	4:01pm Michele with One "L": 🖤🖤🖤 Jeff Buckley 🖤🖤🖤
	4:02pm Michele with One "L": Hi Mona! Thanks for the last minute fill-in. Sounds great!
	4:02pm tim from washington: Aaron from Minneapolis?!? Cool. I bet that was a real pleasure meeting him.
	4:02pm McGroovey: There are multiple verses of Hallelujah that are rarely heard. I think I remember hearing or reading an interview with Leonard Cohen or John Cale, talking about Hallelujah. Cale told Cohen he wanted to cover it, asked Cohen for the correct lyrics, and Cohen sent Cale verses that weren't on the original Leonard Cohen album version, and Cale picked his favorites. Cohen apparently started doing it live John Cale's way after that. That's more-or-less the story. I think the Jeff Buckley version also follows the John Cale version (which is on the Cale album Fragments of a Rainy Season).
	4:02pm prof.fuzz: Hey Mona! Handy! K8! McG! Tim!
	4:03pm listener monica: more Bob Neuwirth? I'm driving in Oregon right now and the radio sucks everywhere in the USA except for WFMU.
	4:03pm Various Julius: I love love love this Wire tune
	🥀 4:03pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @K8 Thanks, back to the salt mines for me now....
	4:03pm _Ike_: Sounds great! Got any Curve or Lush?
	4:04pm K8: Hi Prof.Fuzz!
	4:04pm McGroovey: I want to start a Wire cover band. (No one ever wants to join my cover bands.)
	4:04pm tim from washington: The 15th is my kind of feel good song. Hi Prof!
	4:04pm alanSixº: Mooooonaaaa
	4:04pm Jeff Moore: Additional illustrations: Photos of our host from this year's Marathon coverage. www.flickr.com...
	🥀 4:05pm Ryansterlingvirtue: now my thirst is whetted for moz. I would love to hear something off of "Strangeways."
	4:05pm Miss G: Great tune from Wire and great GIF from Priscilla one of my favorite films
	4:05pm DouglasInDallas: Hey WFMU fam.😘💗 Finally chiming in to the party. Nice to hear Mona on a Monday. Loving the set..
	4:05pm K8: @McGroovey...when I used to sing jazz like 80 thousand years ago, we covered Hallelujah, and I found so many lyrics, other verses that Cohen had written that you don't always hear...so good. Miss him so much, too.
	🥀 4:06pm Ryansterlingvirtue: i love seeing all these black hearts on the message board. I feel like we're all vampires that have adopted to the sunlight.
	🥀 4:06pm Handy Haversack: Daywalkers ... now with more Pulp!
	4:07pm Miss G: McGroovey I know there was at least one Wire cover band, they were called Pink Flag and opened for Wire, played the album Pink Flag, then the punters left the show and Wire could come out and play what they wanted. I love that story.
	4:07pm prof.fuzz: howdy douglas! lovely day in richarson. how are things in your corner of the dfw metroplex?
	4:08pm prof.fuzz: @miss g: i heard that story too. love it!
	4:08pm DouglasInDallas: Hey P-fuzz! Nice view of downtown D with cool breeze flowing through the house😍
	🥀 4:09pm Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz! Hey, Douglas! Mona, how about some New Model Army? They rarely get any FMU loving.
	4:09pm Miss G: In "Love and Rockets" the comic, Maggie the Mechanic had so many nicknames, "Perla" was one of them and I adopted it as well.
	🥀 4:11pm Jason from Houston: WHOOOOOOA
	4:11pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yes, Curve.
	4:11pm _Ike_: Wow, thanks!!!!!!
	🥀 4:11pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:11pm McGroovey: Hallelujah is a great song. Since I'm not plugged into pop culture, I didn't know EVERYONE was covering it until I went to a couple open mics, and EVERYONE was covering it, and then I checked on YouTube, and EVERYONE on YouTube was covering it. I only had heard the LC, Cale, and Jeff Buckley versions until then. It was the first song I learned to play on the ukulele, and the only song I can always remember without looking for my song charts (even my own songs). But I'd never play it in front of other people because EVERYONE plays it more-than-enough.
	4:11pm tim from washington: @Miss G - that just reminded me that I am waay behind on the latest Love and Rockets series. I love that comic.
	4:12pm Andres: Miss G: One of my kids has the middle name, Hopey, because of that comic book.
	4:14pm Miss G: tim from washington: well, get movin! Los Bros Hernandez are the best. Andres, no way! I will note that! Hopey was an amazing kind of role model back in the day. I love all those girls from the comic.
	4:14pm McGroovey: @Miss G Yeah, that Pink Flag band is actually a band who makes/made records under another name I can never remember, but they've been played here on WFMU. Someone else will remember.
	4:14pm DouglasInDallas: Mona I was feeling a little Moodswings "Spiritual High" for the set....
	🥀 4:15pm Niall: Hello, friends. Cathal Coughlan of Fatima Mansions and Microdisney is dead, and I am gutted.
	🥀 4:15pm Handy Haversack: I just saw that, Niall!
	4:16pm _Ike_: Woah. I’ve never heard such a good segue out of “Coast Is Clear”.
	4:17pm βrian: Oh my, I just turned on gifs for a moment. What a hella commotion!
	4:17pm Andres: Miss G: Those books are brimming with strong women. A fave ongoing series.
	4:19pm listener james from westwood: Mantronix segue was, to quote Tuco Salamanca, "Tight! tight! tight!"
	4:19pm tim from washington: I'm telling you! Mona does magic transitions. Like "how did that just happen?!?!" transitions.
	4:19pm PuraVida: Mona, thanks for turning me onto Sofia Kourtesis. Playing her Fresia Magdalena EP from 2021. Really good grooves! sofiakourtesis.bandcamp.com...
	4:19pm radioronan: Likewise @niall He was fantastic.Was just listening to the Telefis project the other day.
	4:20pm DouglasInDallas: Swearing it was Mantronix but maybe someone could correct me, but I saw them selling their entire catalog and rights on EBAY for $50K😲
	4:20pm Miss G: I think the greatest tee shirt of all time (not really L) is in stock, so, here goes: www.fantagraphics.com...
	4:21pm Phillippe: How about Ministry's "I Wanted to Tell Her" a little later on?
	4:21pm Andres: Miss G: Agreed! I wish they would also bring back the Ape Shit tees.
	4:22pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I got a ticket for tonight's Yankees game for a grand total of just over $10. I'm going to walk to the stadium too and am leaving at like the top of the hour. As always, I'll really appreciate the company on the portable radio while I'm on the move. I'll be listening!
	4:22pm Miss G: Andres yes! We'll see what we can do
	4:22pm Andres: This Mantronix is killing it!
	4:24pm tim from washington: Oh Handy!!!!
	🥀 4:24pm Handy Haversack: WOW! MOOOOOONNNNNNAAAAA!
	4:24pm radioronan: Nice request @handy!
	4:25pm Andres: Mona loves the listeners!
	4:25pm Íkė: @Rosey, after the game, if you get a chance, please scan the dial for Bronx pirates! More of them are generally on the air after 6-7 p.m. Particularly concerned about ones at 90.9 and 91.3 of course…
	4:25pm prof.fuzz: Make another wish, handy. Today’s your lucky day!
	4:26pm McGroovey: I love a good skip! That was a good skip!
	4:27pm Stevel: Live radio is glorious.
	4:27pm Íkė: In the past I’ve heard Bx pirates at 88.9, 89.3, 94.5, 94.9, and 105.7. There shouldn’t be anything on those frequencies there.
	4:27pm DouglasInDallas: OMG saw New Model Army with Celibate Rifles in like 83-84. Amazeballs...
	🥀 4:28pm Niall: @Mona, if yr taking requests, I'd ask for "Fatima Mansions' "Blues for Ceausescu" or Fields of the Nephilim's "Psychonaut," please...
	4:28pm chresti - in Frisco: Hi Mona !!
	🥀 4:28pm Niall: Nostalgic, now!
	4:29pm ryansterlingvirtue: Yes
	4:29pm go.forth.and.thrash____: Interesting Drug?
	4:30pm Miss G: L Handy just realized the New Model Army song had the drum riff that is part of my "Darling, what is that guitar thingdrum thing* etc That I like?" that used to drive the room crazy but it all worked out. And so thank you to Mona!
	4:30pm DouglasInDallas: @Niall don't you mean Mozz-stalgic? 😛
	🥀 4:30pm Handy Haversack: Douglas, I think I've seen them six or seven times?
	4:30pm K8: Aw, dang, Mona, you played NMA!!!! Handy must be freaking out...you freaking out, baby?
	4:31pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Niall thanks Keep Music Evil
	4:31pm PuraVida: Post Mozz birthday bash (May 22nd)
	4:32pm tim from washington: I think Strangeways is a super good record.
	🥀 4:32pm Handy Haversack: I'm freaking out!
	4:32pm DouglasInDallas: @Handy I think I saw them on a Lords of the New Church once too
	4:32pm DjLorraine: I missed NIN - wah
	🥀 4:34pm bloumejune: Oh yay Bonus Mona! (I kick myself for not going to see Morrissey prepandemic in Queens.)
	🥀 4:35pm karlward: Mona I'm wondering if you know the band Presence, and if WFMU has it in the library, and if maybe you want to play "In Wonder"
	4:35pm Ochre Ogre: Mona- Enjoying your fill in for Olivia!

	4:39pm K8: Wait, Mona, are you taking requests? I can't believe I can't actually listen to this...and I do have to go encourage folx to write creative non-fiction now, soooo...I was sort of here. Mona, your show is so good...even if I'm just looking at the playlist! Have wonderful evenings, y'all...
	4:40pm Krys O.: Hello! Great listening as I walked through semi-rural Western Essex County in NJ. No bears sighted. It's that time of year. Can you play Joan Armatrading's Eating the Bear? If not Where We're You by the Mekons will do. 🐻
	🥀 4:41pm Handy Haversack: Great choice, Niall. Yeah. RIP.
	4:41pm Lawrence: Thank you for the 90s British indie flashback, Mona!
	4:41pm efd: not the last time you'll hear this song on WFMU this week. 😎
	4:42pm Stevel: efd: Are you a man who can read minds?
	4:43pm efd: or I'm just predictable!

	4:45pm Miss G: Oh Krys O recommended the song that we sang when someone came into the bar at Verkhovyna, I was waiting at the bar WHERE WERE YOU
	4:46pm wenzo toad (it/it’s): I thought he was saying “Cal Chuchesta”
	🥀 4:46pm Handy Haversack: Love what you've done with the place, karlward! Miss G! Verkhovyna was the name of the bar I spent 1999-2003 in in the E. Village!
	4:47pm Krys O.: Toss a beanbag, karlward.
	4:48pm Phillippe: @krys O my sister sent me a pic from a campground she was it. It was a bear identification sign that told you how to visually differentiate between a black bear, brown bear, and gummi bear
	4:48pm Miss G: HH NO WAY
	🥀 4:48pm Handy Haversack: We just about lived in it, Miss G!
	🥀 4:48pm Jason from Houston: Hardest working DJ around. Mona the Hero!
	4:49pm Krys O.: Ha, Philippe! We have black bears near Roseland. They're waking up and they're hungry.

	4:52pm doctorjazz: What Ramona said!
	🥀 4:52pm karlward: We could keep the party going with some "I Before E Except After C" by Yaz
	4:52pm Miss G: Oh man. Early 80s Verkhovyna every night then home to watch Mary Tyler Moore. One night, at another bar, not the Blue & Gold, an old Ukrainian man held my face in his hands and said "Look! She is Eva Perón! She is the Virgin Mary!" and of course, I said "The Virgin Mary would like a Rolling Rock, please."
	🥀 4:53pm karlward: Man do I love that house piano
	🥀 4:53pm Jason from Houston: See you at Numbers, karlward!
	4:54pm Various Julius: Heading to Manchester in a couple days, definitely checking out the British Pop Archive exhibit that just opened.
	4:54pm Krys O.: Crikey! Just saw there was a bear sighting closer to home in Montclair. Usually babies.
	4:54pm Krys O.: Thank you!!!!
	🥀 4:54pm Jason from Houston: Bear songs!!!
	4:55pm PuraVida: Feeding the vibe!
	4:55pm DouglasInDallas: dah Bears...
	🥀 4:55pm Handy Haversack: HA! One of the wonderful bartenders at Verkhovyna once grabbed my sideburns and told me, "You are my little Pushkin!" And pretty much called me that the rest of the time we knew each other. There's at least one WFMU listener and commenter who was a bartender there when we were habituating it. I met two of my best friends at Verkhovyna (or "Bar 81").
	4:55pm Miss G: Various Julius a person I follow on Inst. had a photo of that exhibit in Manchester, Johnny Marr's guitar in a vitrine!
	4:56pm Various Julius: Last time we were over there coincided with the Jam exhibit in Liverpool, which was a big highlight of that trip.
	🥀 4:57pm karlward: Jason from Houston: I am already there, in my mind. I heard De Schmog is playing tonight. I'm the guy in the brown cardigan, shouting along all the lyrics to De Schmog's "I Love Her (You)"
	🥀 4:58pm karlward: New Order sans Hook, right?
	🥀 4:58pm Jason from Houston: Oh gosh, buddy...
	4:59pm DouglasInDallas: Paid $300 for pair of 2nd row zip-tied-together seats for Pet Shop Boys and there was no AC and then they did an ACOUSTIC set 😲😫
	4:59pm tim from washington: New Order sans Hook is No Order in my book.
	4:59pm McGroovey: Ceausescu princess "chow chess Q" (basically)
	5:00pm McGroovey: Ack Princess = pronounced
	5:00pm McGroovey: Ack ack ack
	5:00pm tim from washington: Same artist but different bands doesn't count as playing the same artist twice, I say.
	5:00pm Morphe': Yes !!! Mona At Midday !!! but is 21:36 in Ireland .. when I heard ya at the opening and said fill in .. I knew yer voice but was not sure who ??? Thanks Mona and all !!! Must go deal with arguing cousins about sheep and fences ... Thanks M at M and all till soon ..
	5:01pm βrian: "My litlte Pushkin-Pullyu!"
	🥀 5:01pm karlward: See, again, Mona has all my records
	5:01pm Phillippe: Yay! Thank you!
	5:01pm Mona: i like your logic tim! and thank you mcgroovey i couldn't have gotten that more wrong lol
	5:01pm McGroovey: I love really synthpop-Ministry
	5:01pm HyperDose: Oh Mona, you groove dealer you!
	5:01pm McGroovey: Early
	5:02pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Is there a Ministry other than the band from Chicago? Must be.
	5:03pm MyAcademy: +1 McGroovey. Album art on that first one is :chefkiss too.
	🥀 5:03pm karlward: Peter Hook's essay in Sober 21 is interesting, to say the least, maybe the guy has a reason not to tour with New Order: thecreativeindependent.com...
	5:03pm DouglasInDallas: Caught my mom jazzercizing to Ministry's With Sympathy when folks in Dallas were paying upwards of $100 for it and she said she heard it was good for jazzercizing and got it at KMart for $1.99😂 Ture story.... LOL
	🥀 5:03pm karlward: DouglasInDallas: this is the greatest Ministry video ever
	5:04pm ChukAmok: Uh Oh. Tornado watch in my area (again).
	5:04pm Mona: karlward, my friend elia does that sober 21 site! it's so rad!
	5:04pm nathan: technically, it's good for SYNTHercizing
	5:04pm Jeff Moore: Can we assume that song was referring to Nicolae Ceaușescu (chow-SHESK-oo), the last Romaninan Communist leader, deposed and executed (along with his wife) by firing squad? Or are there other noteworthy Ceausescus?
	🥀 5:04pm karlward: Mona: I read the whole thing, really well done
	5:05pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff: Only his wife, who bit it same time as Nick!
	5:05pm tim from washington: @JetBoy - Haha! Nope. This is Ministry from Chicago with angular haircuts before they became Ministry from Chicago with face tattoos.
	5:05pm Morphe': Niall .. if ya are still there ... going down the Ballyguin Bohreen for a swim.. Have not used the house shower in 20 years??? Soon we meet..
	5:05pm _Ike_: Which new and potentially returning old DJs are everyone's odds-on favorites for the summer schedule?
	5:06pm McGroovey: @JetBoy of Brooklyn It's the same Ministry, yes. The same guys who pummeled you with songs about devil worship and torture in the nineties originally played synth pop in the eighties.
	5:06pm Miss G: Morphe' I thought you'd be in Spain for the summer so happy you are in the homeland! Have a great time
	5:06pm mariano: Delurking to thank you for "Interesting Drug," haven't heard it in years!
	5:06pm DouglasInDallas: @Karlward certainly better than later one with crowd crushing... ugh use to have to deal with them all the time when I worked at Bill's Records... babysitting Al Jourgensen's kid in Chicago when left to score some drugs...
	🥀 5:06pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BTW this set is fucking FIRE.
	5:06pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Tim: OMG! Crazy. Just saw them in NJ, no evidence remains of those early days
	5:07pm βrian: Liz Berg, please. Meghan.
	5:07pm Jeff Moore: I hope Vicki / People Like Us does a summer season!
	5:07pm McGroovey: I love Morrissey's first solo album, but it's the only one I know.
	🥀 5:07pm Handy Haversack: morph, watch out for the cold things that follow you down the bohreen!
	5:07pm Will: I hadn't remembered that Morrissey used to say that there were bad people on the right: ha!
	5:08pm Mona: all the moz solo albums through 'ringleader of the tormentors' are amazing in my opinion
	5:08pm _Ike_: @βrian, LOLwut? I loved Liz's show but the last time I ran into her, she was like "not interested anymore!" which was sad. Though admittedly that was years ago.
	🥀 5:08pm bloumejune: @JetBoy I remember hearing from an interview that Al J. faked an English accent for this first album so he can sound more new wave, just to get his foot in the door of the record business. Once in he was able to do what he really wanted (which was very different to say the least!)
	5:09pm Miss G: HH I love your Pushkin story! Was just sitting here trying to think of a request, but anything I got was either a WFMU fave, or too "on the nose" so. .. just happy to hear the sounds now!
	5:09pm go.forth.and.thrash____: Aye! Thnx Mona! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:10pm _Ike_: AlanSix jokingly said I should do Vegas odds on the new schedule but I'm gonna call his bluff and DO IT!
	5:10pm mariano: Liz Berg's show was always incredible. My original favorite FMU show. I loved the Monday sched when it was Liz from 9-12 then Irene Trudel from 12-3.
	5:11pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Bloumrjune - I’m glad he did. I always knew he was a huge Blackhawks fan but not that Ministry ever made music suitable for jazzercise. Mind blown.
	🥀 5:11pm Handy Haversack: Just straight odds for each DJ on having a show on the summer sched., Ike? Or are there prop bets?
	5:11pm mariano: 80s Al Gore always reminded me of the singer for Spandau. I really wanted him to start his nomination speech by singing "With a thrill in my head, and a pill on my tongue..."
	5:11pm Miss G: Thank you mariano for your memories! I am a newbie and so am always interested/confused by tales of the station
	5:11pm Krys O.: Now we're in MY high school bedroom!
	5:12pm tim from washington: I saw Morrissey in 2015 before he turned into vegan Ted Nugent. It was a great show. Plus he did Suedehead which I'm really glad I got to see.
	5:12pm Kyle C.: Whoa, Mona, such a great show! We're normally putting the kids to sleep when you're on, so I had no idea—but I know now, and I'm adding you to the woefully long list of FMU shows we mustn't miss. Thank you for making Monday Friday! Best, Kyle
	5:13pm mariano: Oh, Miss G, so many amazing archives to explore! What's funny is that I've been listening to FMU for almost 25 years now and I'm a newbie compared to some listeners who've been tuning in since the 70s, even the 60s in a couple of cases iirc.
	5:14pm TDK60: I haven't heard Chant No. 1 in a spell.
	5:14pm Miss G: Yes mariano! So many places I lived in NYC and I could not get WFMU on my/our radio, and mostly knew from record fair. Lots of lore!
	5:14pm mariano: Hey there, Handy! Always looking for a slice of that action, huh?
	🥀 5:14pm bloumejune: @JetBoy Yep, pretty cool!
	5:15pm TDK60: That is correct, mariano.
	🥀 5:16pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Mona, been diggin your fill-in for Olivia!
	5:16pm PuraVida: @Mariano I went to kindergarten through 6th grade with former WFMU DJ William Berger
	5:16pm Krys O.: I probably heard Chant No 1 on efd"s New Afternoon Show first.
	🥀 5:17pm Handy Haversack: I got ... personal problems, Mariano! And maybe Ike needs a collection agent. When I was a little kid, my dad and I would go meet once a week with his bookie's agent to settle up. "Let's go down to the restaurant and meet Dynamite, [Handy]."
	5:17pm efd: :: waving ::
	5:18pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great show Mona thanks!!!!!
	🥀 5:18pm Niall: @Danny in Poughkeepsie: And the same!
	🥀 5:18pm karlward: Love this tempo!
	5:19pm Krys O.: (waves back at efd)
	🥀 5:19pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Quick note before doing more work stuff: @McGroovy FWIW I think that most of Morrisey's solo stuff other than Bona Drag is recursive circle jerk garbage. There, I said it.
	5:19pm Miss G: Oh man I watched "Party Girl" recently and this was not in it, but should have been
	🥀 5:19pm Niall: Go raibh math agat, @Mona. Keep Music Evil (Please)!
	5:20pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Niall Fatima Mansions was one of the best shows I saw at the CMJ shows years back
	5:20pm Krys O.: @PuraVida! Hail fellow friend o' Wm!
	5:20pm Miss G: Dancing at Limelight to songs I "hated" LOL
	🥀 5:21pm Handy Haversack: tim: just wanted to compliment you on "vegan Ted Nugent." Points scored! Though I have heard fewer stories about the Nuge being an abusive monster on tour ...
	5:21pm Krys O.: Party Girl is a fave. I watched it last year and it really was still sweet.
	5:21pm McGroovey: Yeah, I don't really need to seek out the Morrissey stuff I've never heard. There is so much other interesting music to seek out, and so much music I actually have sitting beside my turntable that i haven't listened to because something good is on WFMU right now.
	5:22pm PuraVida: @Krys O I only found out about his passing a few months ago. Was sad to hear about it.
	🥀 5:22pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @McGroovey I know, right? I discover so much new stuff on Bandcamp EVERY DAY due to having WFMU on all day that if I bought everything that I wanted I'd just be signing over my paycheck to them.
	🥀 5:22pm Niall: Jeff Moore: Yes, the one and the same. And perhaps that's why it's not on "Viva Dead Ponies" when you buy it from the iTunes Music Store. No idea what that's about, but it's really "Pack of Lies" and the title track off that album for me, anyway.
	5:23pm Pablexa™: Thought that was Blancmange for a sec
	5:23pm anne: great to hear you, Mona!
	🥀 5:25pm Niall: Morphe': welcome home! Too much going on with house work and work-work to swim yet, but sooner than later, I hope. It's supposed to be a hot weekend.
	5:26pm Miss G: Krys O when she dances in the library at night! So great! and voguing to ___ (I lost the reference, I had it right here. . .) in any case, I love this film
	5:26pm tim from washington: @Handy - Let me refer you to Steve Miller's oral history on Detroit rock called "Detroit Rock City". I don't think there's anything positive said from Nugent's bandmates - hahaha. A writer for Creem said he could drive the shit out of a stick shift though.
	5:26pm Stanley: Boney!
	5:26pm efd: always love to hear Boney M!
	5:26pm timinoak: Mona!? Mona!? What a nice surprise to hear your show now!
	5:27pm Miss G: When I went to Germany, my friend was astounded that I had never heard of Boney M (nor Robbie Williams)
	🥀 5:27pm karlward: Boney M, gotta bring it to the masses, they don't know
	🥀 5:27pm Handy Haversack: That Sober 21 book is totally fascinating. Been sitting here reading it since karlward linked to it. With a glass of wine, it must be said. The statement from Emily Kempf is great.
	5:29pm PuraVida: Mona, today was so great, thank you so much. No case of the Monday's here...
	5:30pm Mona: thanks for the kind words and good vibes everyone! <3 my favorite monday in a long time!
	5:30pm dday: all that moody 80's sound earlier..play any "Crush" www.youtube.com...
	5:31pm tim from washington: Did Midlake borrow a little from Fleetwood Mac here?
	5:31pm DouglasInDallas: Shopping for Boney M again... Thanks McSorley and Mona... guess I should just buy everything now... oooh Midlake repping the North Texas in the house...
	5:31pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks, Mona, for taking me to that 70s Mediterranean beach bar in my head with Boney M!
	5:31pm luka: “your love/my girls” had me gliding on the post-work run
	🥀 5:32pm Handy Haversack: Douglas, Marty mention makes me want to hear Light Asylum!
	🥀 5:32pm Niall: My grandmother here in Ireland used to tell me that I would run around when I was small, singing "brown girl in the ring." I had no recollection of it and was mortified that I sang some horribly racist song on the regular as a three, four-year-old. Thank god someone played Boney M at a party sometime in my late thirties. Oh, the "Roscoe" song! This is such, such, such a good cut. Is the rest of their stuff this good?
	5:32pm DouglasInDallas: @Tim think you're right...
	5:34pm PuraVida: @Niall midlakeband.bandcamp.com...
	5:34pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: I agree - Roscoe is a great track - anyone have an opinion on the rest of the album?
	5:34pm dale: hey now - enjoying the hits, even the stars on 45 type one. poor raping murderous roscoe 'fatty' arbuckle...so misunderstood.
	5:35pm PuraVida: Jetboy I just sent Niall the Bandcamp link
	5:36pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Saw that Pura - thank you!
	5:36pm Miss G: Don't forget MEKONS
	🥀 5:36pm Handy Haversack: If it's not selfish, Mona, does the library have the Wonderstuff / Never Loved Elvis / "Size of a Cow" on hand?
	5:36pm GG..: request - Rent Boy by HTRK ;)
	5:37pm Miss G: LOL
	5:37pm miles of middle texas: Enjoying the show. ..
	5:37pm GG..: love the surprise afternoon show!
	5:37pm Pablexa™: Well I just LOL'd
	🥀 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the Mona Matinee Monster Madness today. I need to ditch now, though. Take care.
	5:38pm Miss G: OK the other one we'd sing out, it's not so "cool," but factually, it's "I might like you better if we slept together"
	5:38pm dale: oh man, this and torn between lovers had my pubescent mind wondering what was going on between the male and female species.
	🥀 5:38pm Handy Haversack: Ike, is this your request?
	5:38pm Webhamster Henry: You haven't lived until you've heard John Schnall's Midnight Matinee riff on "I've Never Been To Me"
	5:39pm mariano: Polari's a fascinating subject. Its roots go back to 18th-century (or even earlier) Roma and underworld slang. Terms like drag, butch, campy, ogle, and a few others come from Polari. Bona drag = "nice threads."
	5:39pm Webhamster Henry: My then-fiancee almost left me for playing an aircheck of it.
	🥀 5:39pm Niall: Oh wow this... era of songs. Damn, it takes me back to radios in the kitchen, etc.
	5:39pm tim from washington: I'd like to think that Clay Pigeon and Fabio slow dance to this song.
	5:39pm _Ike_: @Handy, LOLOLOLOLOL
	5:39pm dale: how many kings has she been with? larry king? the burger king?
	5:40pm DouglasInDallas: When this Charlene "I've Never Been to Me" came out 1) I thought it was on Free to Be (You and Me) 2) Thought she was saying she'd never seen her knees 😂
	5:40pm Miss G: laughing so hard dale
	🥀 5:40pm Niall: Are these lyrics saying what I'm hearing?
	5:40pm Stanley: King Kong!
	5:40pm The Librarian: Belting this one out. No one appreciates it.
	5:40pm GG..: subtle whoring??
	5:40pm mariano: I've never been to Charlene either.
	🥀 5:41pm bloumejune: @tim Funny
	🥀 5:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Who else has never been to Maine?
	5:41pm _Ike_: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha WHAT A SEGUE
	🥀 5:41pm Niall: @GG.. knows what I'm talking about.
	5:41pm dale: my work here is done then miss g.
	🥀 5:41pm Handy Haversack: Patrons shushing a librarian -- dogs and cats living together! It'll be anarchy!
	🥀 5:41pm Niall: That actually sounded a lot like something off "Music of Mind Control."
	5:41pm McGroovey: My friend just posted a video link to this Charlene song today on Facebook, coincidentally! It's the Her Solid Gold lip-synch performance... youtu.be...
	5:41pm dale: some debby boone would be sweet.
	5:42pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Mona - I told QTR (Quartermusic of Brooklyn) that you played a song of hers on FMU - she was very excited to hear that. Was a few weeks back, just remembered that.
	5:42pm Webhamster Henry: You can ruin/complete your life right here: arch.wfmu.org.s3.amazonaws.com...
	5:43pm GG..: thankyou! Rowland S Howard on guitar for this - my all time fave
	5:43pm facecheekwall: Feeling the oldies/disco direction? If so, then it’s not “too late to turn back now”.
	5:44pm Jeff Moore: If you're still casting about for additional song notions... the discussion of Polari makes me want to hear Bowie's Girl Loves Me again, or... gee, we haven't heard any Cure yet today (and it's always interesting to see what people reach for when they reach for some Cure).
	🥀 5:45pm Handy Haversack: Ooo, good challenge, Jeff Moore!
	5:45pm gauche knee: That Charlene song makes much more sense now vs hearing your friends’ mom sing it zoned after picking us up from elementary school.
	5:46pm Trey: This isn’t how I usually feel on Monday afternoon
	5:46pm DouglasInDallas: OMG @Webmaster Henry now my ADHD is thinking of all the movies done from already recorded songs... 😲
	5:46pm Miss G: AAAHHHHHGGGGGHHHHHHH
	🥀 5:46pm Niall: Now I'm greedy, like "oooh, Flaming Stars, they'd be great after this Mekons song!"
	5:47pm Jeff Moore: @Handy: I wasn't meaning to issue a challenge!
	5:47pm Krys O.: Such fun! Thanks, Mona!
	5:47pm Miss G: "You had yellow hair, do you LOVE ME?!" well I say "dude! please! do not love me only for my yellow hair!!!"
	5:47pm gauche knee: Also, Mona in the midday?! Clay doing double shift? Love it but hope everyone’s alright and not another Covid thing 🤞🏾
	🥀 5:47pm Handy Haversack: I just mean that my brain immediately seized up while trying to reach for four different Cure albums all at the same time -- and I don't have the WFMU library!
	5:48pm listener monica: melons!!!
	5:48pm listener monica: damn autocorrect.
	5:48pm Jeff Moore: @Handy: Understood!
	5:49pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Hey, melons can be great
	5:49pm Miss G: What a great segue, so happy right now. . .
	5:49pm tim from washington: It's not too late! It's not too late!
	🥀 5:49pm Niall: Wooo, what a terrific song to hear.
	5:49pm dale: maybe just an fmu officer off.site
	5:49pm diciassette: ahoy Mona! thanks for the melons!
	5:49pm DouglasInDallas: String sections always make a song better....
	5:49pm Miss G: MELONS
	5:50pm tim from washington: Ooh, excellent GIF from Black Klansman. The dance sequence was my favorite part of that movie.
	5:50pm dale: everyone likes melons. musk, water....
	🥀 5:50pm chris in the redwoods: wow, Mona and commenters. thanks so much for all the great tunes! really had a great time. :) <3
	5:51pm McGroovey: Great show today, Mona. Winging it worked out fine.
	5:51pm DouglasInDallas: Not sure how Mona able to get the gifs to sync like she does but loving it today
	5:51pm dday: It's like a time machine today since Clay's fill in for Joe. I've had The Grassroots "Sooner or Later" stuck in my head all day :)
	5:52pm Jeff Moore: Ha! This is fun!
	🥀 5:52pm Handy Haversack: This was such a great treat -- miss your show, Mona! We'll try to carve out a Friday soon to join you in sync time. Fantastic stuff today! Thanks so much. OH HELL YEAH. My brain definitely reached in this direction! Later on, Monads! Stay singular!
	5:52pm Mona: thanks everyone for your suggestions and nice comments and general awesome juju! <3 i'll be back friday night...til then <3
	5:52pm Miss G: dday I have the Grassroots stuck in my head every day
	5:53pm tim from washington: Thanks, Mona! Super show this afternoon!
	🥀 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Robert Smith stole karlward's cardigan! I ... don't know whom to call.
	5:53pm DouglasInDallas: BTW The Cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is one the best albums to play at 45rpm instead of 33..
	5:53pm dday: Miss G: That's cool. Rob Grill was a talented guy
	5:53pm dday: One of The Cure's best !!!!
	5:53pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Thanks for the great show.
	5:54pm Miss G: and you have to see the Go Gos talk about their "dance" on the Sparks movie. ..
	5:54pm Fishtown Mike: Great fill-in today, Mona! Thanks!
	5:55pm HyperDose: You're pretty rad, Mona ♨️
	5:55pm The Butterman: What a great and fun show, Mona! Thanks.
	5:55pm McGroovey: One of Nash the Slash's records was designed to play at any speed. My turntable only does 33⅓ and 45, sadly.
	5:55pm Miss G: I CAN NOT believe it is 6 o'clock, I will have to get a note from the principal from all the WFMU dj's today. .. Thank You Mona, it was GREAT
	5:55pm dale: robert smith looks like herman munster and phyllis diller had a baby in that gif.
	5:56pm DouglasInDallas: @Miss G that was one of my fave parts of the Sparks movie
	5:56pm radioronan: Thanks for opening the request lines today and filling in, Mona! Cheers y'all!
	5:56pm dday: I ordered a "replacement" CD of The Cures "Disintegration" weeks ago..taking forever to arrive (DHL)
	🥀 5:56pm chris in the redwoods: and the gorgeous segues/transitions don't quit! dang!
	5:56pm Miss G: DouglasInDallas I KNOW
	5:56pm DouglasInDallas: @Dale 😂😂😂
	5:57pm McGroovey: nashtheslash.bandcamp.com...

	6:00pm dale: thanks mona - toes were tapping.
	6:00pm e̶̬̕ik: (Hint hint... the 91.9 part is not really legally necessary. I presume it's just station policy because that's the newest frequency and it needs more promotion. Shhh, you never heard it from me!)
	6:01pm DouglasInDallas: Thanks Mona! 💗💗💗 Afraid to here whats on Techtonic now (as always )
	🥀 6:03pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Great set, thx!!

	3:04pm Aaron in Minneapolis: I am I can see it now!!!!
	3:04pm Miss G: All day I have had the powerful feeling, like Handy always says, "never turn off the radio!"
	3:05pm βrian: Living the Monastic life, yo.
	3:06pm Miss G: Aaron if they have an extra surgical mask, wear two please! (sorry to be a bummer but I will stop now and dance wildly to what Mona will play!)
	3:06pm efd: Mona!! Nice to hear you at a more favorable (for me at least) listening hour!
	3:06pm Aaron in Minneapolis: If any staff is reading this can u put the ramp up? Or down?
	3:06pm TDK60: Hola Mona.
	3:07pm Mona: hey aaron, i'll let ken know! excited to meet you!
	🥀 3:07pm Handy Haversack: Is Aaron filling in for Mark Hurst? What's going on today? Wild times!
	3:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	3:09pm Miss G: Oh! (rumor mill beginning) if Aaron fills in for Mark Hurst I will stop eating my tiny cup of coffee ice cream and save it for 6 PM! Oh wait! I have ceremonial cacao! That'll do it!
	3:09pm listener james from westwood: Howdy, Olivia and all! Killer opening track!
	🥀 3:10pm Handy Haversack: GIF has synced up perfectly once so far.
	🥀 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mona's Meshuggah Before Monday Midnight! Everybody dance!
	3:11pm Flathead Loves Shovelhead Sally: Hard to believe any version will top AW's original recording. Hello DJ..Mona(?)
	🥀 3:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: It's not so much of a ramp, Aaron, than it is a drawbridge.
	3:12pm Miss G: Are we in a Let's Party Like its 1999 scenario? I've been feelin' that the past days, and am ready. That old man (ie my age) bar next door better watch out.
	3:15pm luka: i always thought this riff needed like 50% more pinch harmonics
	3:15pm Andres: 🤘🔥
	3:15pm listener james from westwood: Well was I wrong! Sorry, Mona, for the misnaming, and hello!
	3:16pm PuraVida: Mona rocking the daylight!
	3:18pm PuraVida: Electric Hellfire Club, pride of Kenosha Wisconsin
	3:21pm McGroovey: Mona 'til dinnertime? I'll buy that!
	3:21pm Phillippe: Yay! A rare opportunity for me to hear Mona live!
	3:22pm Mona: hi friends!! is it only coming out of one channel for you?
	3:23pm Phillippe: yep, only one channel
	3:23pm PuraVida: My left channel is D-E-A-D
	3:23pm Jeff Moore: Right now, I'm hearing just left channel.
	3:23pm luka: yeah, now that you mention it, Mona.
	3:23pm Miss G: Recently Mona played this song from 1983, but I didn't know it, Ivor Cutler and Linda Hirst, "Women Of The World" and I shared it with some friends, some who were at the Women's March, some who work in social justice, and they just loved it! So thank you Mona!
	3:24pm McGroovey: I can only hear the Beautiful South in my left ear. (Autocorrect tried to turn that into "left rear", by the way.)
	🥀 3:24pm Handy Haversack: I'm outside with the Bluetooth speaker. There's a periodic buzz that I'm not sure if it's the speaker suddenly erroring or what? Like at the beginning of the last track and now in this one as well. I don't know if that's helpful!
	3:24pm Mona: thank you for saying miss g - what a perfect group to share with! thanks for confirming folks - will try to fix this asap!
	3:24pm GeorgeHatesFun: Mine wasn’t until this song, but now I’m only hearing it through the left channel.
	🥀 3:24pm Handy Haversack: I'm not sure your autocorrect has your best interests at heart, McGroovey!
	3:25pm Phillippe: no right channel for me. I'm beginning to think my wiring skills aren't what I think they were
	3:25pm Phillippe: Hey Handy! what's up w/ you and K8?
	🥀 3:26pm karlward: No right channel here either (128k MP3 stream)
	3:26pm PuraVida: Working now
	3:26pm luka: talkin comes out of both!
	🥀 3:26pm karlward: Now that Mona is talking the right channel is back
	3:26pm Phillippe: all good here too
	3:27pm McGroovey: Now, Wild Swans in my left ear... But my earbuds have a replaceable cable, and I may have replaced it the wrong way 'round last time, so it could be right-channel-only. And there's a crackle in the/my left ear, which sounds like some kind of digital clipping.
	🥀 3:27pm B R M: love hearing @mona on a Monday!
	🥀 3:27pm Handy Haversack: Todd was saying on Sat. that some channels had been switched around? Phillippe! K8's working and will be very disappointed to have missed Mona! We're hanging in. Her work sched. is starting to ease up some. I'm sitting back here with the sparrows and hoping my workday finishes up in a hurry.
	3:27pm TDK60: Yeah, FMU has a few vinyls back up in there.
	3:27pm Miss G: Zero Prep For the Win!
	3:28pm PuraVida: Zero stress here Mona, I live in Colorado, a legal weed state...
	3:28pm McGroovey: It's in both ears for me now.
	3:29pm Phillippe: @Handy say hello to K8 for us! (The sparrows too)
	3:29pm Andres: Improv show.
	🥀 3:29pm chris in the redwoods: entranced by the bad ass sk8r grrrl in that GIF. also, hellos, Mona and peeps.
	3:29pm Miss G: (being a cheerleader, because, it's true I was a cheerleader. . .my mom had been, and I loved the outfits) but Yes! This is why we donate! WFMU putting out the energies!
	3:30pm G: Mona After Midafternoon.
	🥀 3:30pm Handy Haversack: Sisters! YES! Mona, you're the best!
	3:30pm listener james from westwood: Perfect post–World Goth Day track!
	🥀 3:30pm hollow: Wow- what a great day for radio glisteners...Clay Pigeon was fantastic in the 9-12 spot...and then later in the afternoon, "I Need You Baby" coming out of the radio and it's Mona till 6P?
	3:31pm PuraVida: Glorious WFMU listener 'bonus' day Hollow
	3:32pm Pablexa™: NOICE SOM!!!!
	3:32pm G: Mona Till Techtonic?
	🥀 3:33pm hollow: Glorious PuraVida!
	3:33pm tim from washington: Hello Mona! Hello everybody! Mona - I usual listen on Friday's but rarely comment. I thoroughly enjoy your shows and you have the best transitions in the biz!
	🥀 3:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Midday Mona
	🥀 3:34pm Handy Haversack: Phillippe, there were goslings on the creek today, I saw from the bridge. Baby starlings back here being extremely unquiet. The White Wind (cottonwood) has begun to blow from beyond the Wall of Sleep (knot weed). How's the cove and all who dwell there?
	3:35pm Jeff Moore: Hey, Mona! Thanks for being a fill-in hero. Way to roll with the technical punches. The show's already been swell nonetheless! I hope you're feeling combobulated by now as the hassle of getting into the station fades and the weirdness of being there while the big light is still glaring loses its power to distract and the hookup problems get resolved and you ride the wave of live DJ adaptiveness to triumph.
	🥀 3:35pm Ryansterlingvirtue: Mona? Am I dreaming?
	🥀 3:37pm Ryansterlingvirtue: If sisters at 3 pm on a sunny monday isn't a calling card, i don't know what is.
	3:39pm Mona: lol i sent out the bat (mona) signal hey handy, how was the benefit show? still bummed i missed it
	3:40pm doctorjazz: Hi Mona, digging the show!
	🥀 3:41pm Handy Haversack: The music was great, Mona! They raised $1500, too! It was a little stressful for K8, but a great night for the crowd, and several WFMU listeners made it out. They're playing next Wed. at Wonderville, in case you're around. Hope you're feeling better!
	3:43pm McGroovey: I hear a kind of harmonic overtone in my right ear on this Dory Previn song. Not sure if it's at your end, or at my end. It's possible in just having a stroke or some other brain malfunction, though.
	3:43pm McGroovey: *I'm
	🥀 3:43pm Ryansterlingvirtue: PUUUULP
	🥀 3:44pm Handy Haversack: And Francis Begbie is wanted in connection with an armed robbery in Corstorphine. Francis Begbie.
	🥀 3:45pm Ryansterlingvirtue: only slightly better than my other fav B-side, cocaine socialism.
	3:47pm PuraVida: Was just reading up on Dory Previn, what a life...
	3:48pm Andres: Divine Comedy!!
	🥀 3:48pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Pleasant surprises abound today!
	3:49pm Andres: And GIF to boot!
	🥀 3:49pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there!
	3:50pm tim from washington: I like this cover! As much as I love Bowie I'm pretty burnt out on his original of Life on Mars. This version is refreshing to hear.
	3:50pm Miss G: 🌛🌕🌜last night as I went from Astaire Rogers "Roberta" to "Last Night at Marienbad," I did sing this song to myself L ah only Neil Hannon could do this, right?
	3:51pm K8: Hello Mona and Everyone (and yes, um, hi, Handy...). I am killing time in an Irish pub on the Upper East Side before teaching a writing workshop, and it is KILLING me that I don't have headphones, and I don't think this is the kind of place that's gonna take my radio requests. I am just watching the playlist and feeling, you know, the UES bar in the afternoon blues over here...
	3:52pm Miss G: OH no! K8! The power of imagination, your remembering these songs, it is more powerful than even the UES! I taught up there! I know!
	3:52pm Stanley: Handy - should I be frightened?
	3:53pm G: The cover of Cohen that helped make this song kind of a standard.
	🥀 3:53pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey K8! Sorry I couldn't make your last show, per other posts, work is keeping me busier than a one-legged man trying to stamp out a fire in an amno warehouse...and that was BEFORE I took on more job duties. Also Mom. Hope to be able to make a weeknight show soon.
	3:54pm Phillippe: @Handy we have a couple different-sized egrets coming in and out. Osprey are nesting across the cove. We had a pair of geese with a handful of goslings, but the little ones were only around for a day. The pair is still here, but no babies (though it could be a different pair, I didn't check IDs). A couple hawks and herons. Gonna be a big snake year if the amount of sea grass already established is any indicator (and it usually is). Oooh, and a neighbor told me she saw a pair of skates doing a little dance off her pier!
	3:54pm K8: HI MISS G!!! I definitely know Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah and love it...I saw him live once before he passed, it was truly extraordinary.
	3:54pm Phillippe: Hey K8!
	🥀 3:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, K8. Sending music waveforms from my brain to yours.
	3:55pm Jeff Moore: @tim from washington et al: Yeah, a good cover can be a breath of fresh air, even if you love love love the original. Sometimes especially if you love a song but didn't quite ever get around to looking up and reading all the lyrics... So, it's "on America's tortured brow" not "on a merrycast orchard row"? Ohh, that kind of makes a lot more sense.
	3:55pm K8: @Threemoons...no worries!!! There are always more shows...another one next week, June 1st, with Prof.Fuzz 63 and Psych-O-Positive, that you might know from WFMU.
	3:55pm PuraVida: Seal also did a great acoustic version of Life on Mars
	3:56pm K8: Hi Phillippe! Hi Ken!!!
	3:56pm tim from washington: Didn't Leonard Cohen request a moratorium on Hallelujah covers?
	3:56pm The Butterman: Wife is crying. Great job, Mona.
	🥀 3:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Makes me mad there was no one there that night to talk Jeff B. from taking that fateful swim.
	3:56pm G: @tim: They got to be bit much after awhile. Artists often get sick of their biggest successes.
	🥀 3:57pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @K8 Info on C&K site? Thanks!
	3:57pm doctorjazz: Everyone and his cousin songs Hallelujah, it needs some time off (loved it at first). The cantor in synagogue when came up with a version for services...
	3:57pm The Butterman: Now she’s psyched cuz it’s a Smiths song.
	3:58pm K8: @Threemoons...definitely info on our website...it's at Wonderville in Bushwick, music starts at 8...I think we're going on at 9? But I love the other two bands...rare NYC appearance of Prof.Fuzz...they are up from Dallas!
	🥀 3:58pm Handy Haversack: I liked John Cale's version on I'm Your Fan.
	3:58pm doctorjazz: *Cantor even came up...
	3:58pm Miss G: Yes, I feel like an idiot for not going to see Jeff Buckley, glad you did get to K8. Wish I could be there on June 1 (my friends there from Germany.) If I win the Lotto tomorrow then YES! This song, however, makes me think that Mona has the 411 on the monkeypox situation and. . .I'll stop
	3:58pm Matt in NJ: Not a version I’ve heard before. Good stuff.
	4:00pm listener monica: if Dory Previn and Leonard Cohen wrote songs about each other...
	🥀 4:01pm Ryansterlingvirtue: As Camera Obscura says, Turn Dory Previn up to 11, "for the band's ears to bleed"
	4:01pm go.forth.and.thrash____: Leonard Previn was my dentist and attorney in the late eighties.
	4:01pm Michele with One "L": 🖤🖤🖤 Jeff Buckley 🖤🖤🖤
	4:02pm Michele with One "L": Hi Mona! Thanks for the last minute fill-in. Sounds great!
	4:02pm tim from washington: Aaron from Minneapolis?!? Cool. I bet that was a real pleasure meeting him.
	4:02pm McGroovey: There are multiple verses of Hallelujah that are rarely heard. I think I remember hearing or reading an interview with Leonard Cohen or John Cale, talking about Hallelujah. Cale told Cohen he wanted to cover it, asked Cohen for the correct lyrics, and Cohen sent Cale verses that weren't on the original Leonard Cohen album version, and Cale picked his favorites. Cohen apparently started doing it live John Cale's way after that. That's more-or-less the story. I think the Jeff Buckley version also follows the John Cale version (which is on the Cale album Fragments of a Rainy Season).
	4:02pm prof.fuzz: Hey Mona! Handy! K8! McG! Tim!
	4:03pm listener monica: more Bob Neuwirth? I'm driving in Oregon right now and the radio sucks everywhere in the USA except for WFMU.
	4:03pm Various Julius: I love love love this Wire tune
	🥀 4:03pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @K8 Thanks, back to the salt mines for me now....
	4:03pm _Ike_: Sounds great! Got any Curve or Lush?
	4:04pm K8: Hi Prof.Fuzz!
	4:04pm McGroovey: I want to start a Wire cover band. (No one ever wants to join my cover bands.)
	4:04pm tim from washington: The 15th is my kind of feel good song. Hi Prof!
	4:04pm alanSixº: Mooooonaaaa
	4:04pm Jeff Moore: Additional illustrations: Photos of our host from this year's Marathon coverage. www.flickr.com...
	🥀 4:05pm Ryansterlingvirtue: now my thirst is whetted for moz. I would love to hear something off of "Strangeways."
	4:05pm Miss G: Great tune from Wire and great GIF from Priscilla one of my favorite films
	4:05pm DouglasInDallas: Hey WFMU fam.😘💗 Finally chiming in to the party. Nice to hear Mona on a Monday. Loving the set..
	4:05pm K8: @McGroovey...when I used to sing jazz like 80 thousand years ago, we covered Hallelujah, and I found so many lyrics, other verses that Cohen had written that you don't always hear...so good. Miss him so much, too.
	🥀 4:06pm Ryansterlingvirtue: i love seeing all these black hearts on the message board. I feel like we're all vampires that have adopted to the sunlight.
	🥀 4:06pm Handy Haversack: Daywalkers ... now with more Pulp!
	4:07pm Miss G: McGroovey I know there was at least one Wire cover band, they were called Pink Flag and opened for Wire, played the album Pink Flag, then the punters left the show and Wire could come out and play what they wanted. I love that story.
	4:07pm prof.fuzz: howdy douglas! lovely day in richarson. how are things in your corner of the dfw metroplex?
	4:08pm prof.fuzz: @miss g: i heard that story too. love it!
	4:08pm DouglasInDallas: Hey P-fuzz! Nice view of downtown D with cool breeze flowing through the house😍
	🥀 4:09pm Handy Haversack: prof.fuzz! Hey, Douglas! Mona, how about some New Model Army? They rarely get any FMU loving.
	4:09pm Miss G: In "Love and Rockets" the comic, Maggie the Mechanic had so many nicknames, "Perla" was one of them and I adopted it as well.
	🥀 4:11pm Jason from Houston: WHOOOOOOA
	4:11pm listener james from westwood: Oh hell yes, Curve.
	4:11pm _Ike_: Wow, thanks!!!!!!
	🥀 4:11pm Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	4:11pm McGroovey: Hallelujah is a great song. Since I'm not plugged into pop culture, I didn't know EVERYONE was covering it until I went to a couple open mics, and EVERYONE was covering it, and then I checked on YouTube, and EVERYONE on YouTube was covering it. I only had heard the LC, Cale, and Jeff Buckley versions until then. It was the first song I learned to play on the ukulele, and the only song I can always remember without looking for my song charts (even my own songs). But I'd never play it in front of other people because EVERYONE plays it more-than-enough.
	4:11pm tim from washington: @Miss G - that just reminded me that I am waay behind on the latest Love and Rockets series. I love that comic.
	4:12pm Andres: Miss G: One of my kids has the middle name, Hopey, because of that comic book.
	4:14pm Miss G: tim from washington: well, get movin! Los Bros Hernandez are the best. Andres, no way! I will note that! Hopey was an amazing kind of role model back in the day. I love all those girls from the comic.
	4:14pm McGroovey: @Miss G Yeah, that Pink Flag band is actually a band who makes/made records under another name I can never remember, but they've been played here on WFMU. Someone else will remember.
	4:14pm DouglasInDallas: Mona I was feeling a little Moodswings "Spiritual High" for the set....
	🥀 4:15pm Niall: Hello, friends. Cathal Coughlan of Fatima Mansions and Microdisney is dead, and I am gutted.
	🥀 4:15pm Handy Haversack: I just saw that, Niall!
	4:16pm _Ike_: Woah. I’ve never heard such a good segue out of “Coast Is Clear”.
	4:17pm βrian: Oh my, I just turned on gifs for a moment. What a hella commotion!
	4:17pm Andres: Miss G: Those books are brimming with strong women. A fave ongoing series.
	4:19pm listener james from westwood: Mantronix segue was, to quote Tuco Salamanca, "Tight! tight! tight!"
	4:19pm tim from washington: I'm telling you! Mona does magic transitions. Like "how did that just happen?!?!" transitions.
	4:19pm PuraVida: Mona, thanks for turning me onto Sofia Kourtesis. Playing her Fresia Magdalena EP from 2021. Really good grooves! sofiakourtesis.bandcamp.com...
	4:19pm radioronan: Likewise @niall He was fantastic.Was just listening to the Telefis project the other day.
	4:20pm DouglasInDallas: Swearing it was Mantronix but maybe someone could correct me, but I saw them selling their entire catalog and rights on EBAY for $50K😲
	4:20pm Miss G: I think the greatest tee shirt of all time (not really L) is in stock, so, here goes: www.fantagraphics.com...
	4:21pm Phillippe: How about Ministry's "I Wanted to Tell Her" a little later on?
	4:21pm Andres: Miss G: Agreed! I wish they would also bring back the Ape Shit tees.
	4:22pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: I got a ticket for tonight's Yankees game for a grand total of just over $10. I'm going to walk to the stadium too and am leaving at like the top of the hour. As always, I'll really appreciate the company on the portable radio while I'm on the move. I'll be listening!
	4:22pm Miss G: Andres yes! We'll see what we can do
	4:22pm Andres: This Mantronix is killing it!
	4:24pm tim from washington: Oh Handy!!!!
	🥀 4:24pm Handy Haversack: WOW! MOOOOOONNNNNNAAAAA!
	4:24pm radioronan: Nice request @handy!
	4:25pm Andres: Mona loves the listeners!
	4:25pm Íkė: @Rosey, after the game, if you get a chance, please scan the dial for Bronx pirates! More of them are generally on the air after 6-7 p.m. Particularly concerned about ones at 90.9 and 91.3 of course…
	4:25pm prof.fuzz: Make another wish, handy. Today’s your lucky day!
	4:26pm McGroovey: I love a good skip! That was a good skip!
	4:27pm Stevel: Live radio is glorious.
	4:27pm Íkė: In the past I’ve heard Bx pirates at 88.9, 89.3, 94.5, 94.9, and 105.7. There shouldn’t be anything on those frequencies there.
	4:27pm DouglasInDallas: OMG saw New Model Army with Celibate Rifles in like 83-84. Amazeballs...
	🥀 4:28pm Niall: @Mona, if yr taking requests, I'd ask for "Fatima Mansions' "Blues for Ceausescu" or Fields of the Nephilim's "Psychonaut," please...
	4:28pm chresti - in Frisco: Hi Mona !!
	🥀 4:28pm Niall: Nostalgic, now!
	4:29pm ryansterlingvirtue: Yes
	4:29pm go.forth.and.thrash____: Interesting Drug?
	4:30pm Miss G: L Handy just realized the New Model Army song had the drum riff that is part of my "Darling, what is that guitar thingdrum thing* etc That I like?" that used to drive the room crazy but it all worked out. And so thank you to Mona!
	4:30pm DouglasInDallas: @Niall don't you mean Mozz-stalgic? 😛
	🥀 4:30pm Handy Haversack: Douglas, I think I've seen them six or seven times?
	4:30pm K8: Aw, dang, Mona, you played NMA!!!! Handy must be freaking out...you freaking out, baby?
	4:31pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Niall thanks Keep Music Evil
	4:31pm PuraVida: Post Mozz birthday bash (May 22nd)
	4:32pm tim from washington: I think Strangeways is a super good record.
	🥀 4:32pm Handy Haversack: I'm freaking out!
	4:32pm DouglasInDallas: @Handy I think I saw them on a Lords of the New Church once too
	4:32pm DjLorraine: I missed NIN - wah
	🥀 4:34pm bloumejune: Oh yay Bonus Mona! (I kick myself for not going to see Morrissey prepandemic in Queens.)
	🥀 4:35pm karlward: Mona I'm wondering if you know the band Presence, and if WFMU has it in the library, and if maybe you want to play "In Wonder"
	4:35pm Ochre Ogre: Mona- Enjoying your fill in for Olivia!
	4:36pm wenzo toad (it/it’s): 👍
	🥀 4:37pm karlward: (Presence was Lol Tolhurst's first post-Cure band)
	4:39pm radioronan: I'm seconding or thirding a request for Cathal..Microdisney, Fatima, Telefunken, solo..keep music evil..
	4:39pm radioronan: Ask and received!! Thanks Mona..
	4:39pm K8: Wait, Mona, are you taking requests? I can't believe I can't actually listen to this...and I do have to go encourage folx to write creative non-fiction now, soooo...I was sort of here. Mona, your show is so good...even if I'm just looking at the playlist! Have wonderful evenings, y'all...
	4:40pm Krys O.: Hello! Great listening as I walked through semi-rural Western Essex County in NJ. No bears sighted. It's that time of year. Can you play Joan Armatrading's Eating the Bear? If not Where We're You by the Mekons will do. 🐻
	🥀 4:41pm Handy Haversack: Great choice, Niall. Yeah. RIP.
	4:41pm Lawrence: Thank you for the 90s British indie flashback, Mona!
	4:41pm efd: not the last time you'll hear this song on WFMU this week. 😎
	4:42pm Stevel: efd: Are you a man who can read minds?
	4:43pm efd: or I'm just predictable!
	🥀 4:43pm karlward: I could also dig some Electronic (Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr), like "Feel Every Beat"
	4:44pm PuraVida: I am new to this community & today is an amazing show on so many levels
	4:44pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Welcome Purivita!
	4:45pm DouglasInDallas: @PuraVida welcome to the WFMU Fam..
	🥀 4:45pm karlward: Whoa this is happening
	🥀 4:45pm karlward: Welcome to my high school bedroom
	4:45pm luka: total request live!
	4:45pm Miss G: Oh Krys O recommended the song that we sang when someone came into the bar at Verkhovyna, I was waiting at the bar WHERE WERE YOU
	4:46pm wenzo toad (it/it’s): I thought he was saying “Cal Chuchesta”
	🥀 4:46pm Handy Haversack: Love what you've done with the place, karlward! Miss G! Verkhovyna was the name of the bar I spent 1999-2003 in in the E. Village!
	4:47pm Krys O.: Toss a beanbag, karlward.
	4:48pm Phillippe: @krys O my sister sent me a pic from a campground she was it. It was a bear identification sign that told you how to visually differentiate between a black bear, brown bear, and gummi bear
	4:48pm Miss G: HH NO WAY
	🥀 4:48pm Handy Haversack: We just about lived in it, Miss G!
	🥀 4:48pm Jason from Houston: Hardest working DJ around. Mona the Hero!
	4:49pm Krys O.: Ha, Philippe! We have black bears near Roseland. They're waking up and they're hungry.
	🥀 4:49pm karlward: See this is why I'm sure Mona actually has all my records
	4:50pm Various Julius: Quick turnarounds with the requests
	4:50pm go.forth.and.thrash____: Bona Drag - Interesting Drug
	🥀 4:50pm Jason from Houston: Dang. So wild to hear this again...
	4:51pm PuraVida: We have bears out here in Boulder, wake up some mornings & a lot of garbage cans in the alley look like bowling pins...
	4:51pm Baja Joe: Ok, you just made a fan for life playing Electronic. Thank you!
	4:51pm go.forth.and.thrash____: There is a bear in BJ's truck.
	4:51pm Ramona: Great show Mona! I'm going to have to try to tune in to your regular time slot.
	4:52pm DouglasInDallas: Where's my Cat in Hat hat and JNCO jeans when I need them...
	4:52pm doctorjazz: What Ramona said!
	🥀 4:52pm karlward: We could keep the party going with some "I Before E Except After C" by Yaz
	4:52pm Miss G: Oh man. Early 80s Verkhovyna every night then home to watch Mary Tyler Moore. One night, at another bar, not the Blue & Gold, an old Ukrainian man held my face in his hands and said "Look! She is Eva Perón! She is the Virgin Mary!" and of course, I said "The Virgin Mary would like a Rolling Rock, please."
	🥀 4:53pm karlward: Man do I love that house piano
	🥀 4:53pm Jason from Houston: See you at Numbers, karlward!
	4:54pm Various Julius: Heading to Manchester in a couple days, definitely checking out the British Pop Archive exhibit that just opened.
	4:54pm Krys O.: Crikey! Just saw there was a bear sighting closer to home in Montclair. Usually babies.
	4:54pm Krys O.: Thank you!!!!
	🥀 4:54pm Jason from Houston: Bear songs!!!
	4:55pm PuraVida: Feeding the vibe!
	4:55pm DouglasInDallas: dah Bears...
	🥀 4:55pm Handy Haversack: HA! One of the wonderful bartenders at Verkhovyna once grabbed my sideburns and told me, "You are my little Pushkin!" And pretty much called me that the rest of the time we knew each other. There's at least one WFMU listener and commenter who was a bartender there when we were habituating it. I met two of my best friends at Verkhovyna (or "Bar 81").
	4:55pm Miss G: Various Julius a person I follow on Inst. had a photo of that exhibit in Manchester, Johnny Marr's guitar in a vitrine!
	4:56pm Various Julius: Last time we were over there coincided with the Jam exhibit in Liverpool, which was a big highlight of that trip.
	🥀 4:57pm karlward: Jason from Houston: I am already there, in my mind. I heard De Schmog is playing tonight. I'm the guy in the brown cardigan, shouting along all the lyrics to De Schmog's "I Love Her (You)"
	🥀 4:58pm karlward: New Order sans Hook, right?
	🥀 4:58pm Jason from Houston: Oh gosh, buddy...
	4:59pm DouglasInDallas: Paid $300 for pair of 2nd row zip-tied-together seats for Pet Shop Boys and there was no AC and then they did an ACOUSTIC set 😲😫
	4:59pm tim from washington: New Order sans Hook is No Order in my book.
	4:59pm McGroovey: Ceausescu princess "chow chess Q" (basically)
	5:00pm McGroovey: Ack Princess = pronounced
	5:00pm McGroovey: Ack ack ack
	5:00pm tim from washington: Same artist but different bands doesn't count as playing the same artist twice, I say.
	5:00pm Morphe': Yes !!! Mona At Midday !!! but is 21:36 in Ireland .. when I heard ya at the opening and said fill in .. I knew yer voice but was not sure who ??? Thanks Mona and all !!! Must go deal with arguing cousins about sheep and fences ... Thanks M at M and all till soon ..
	5:01pm βrian: "My litlte Pushkin-Pullyu!"
	🥀 5:01pm karlward: See, again, Mona has all my records
	5:01pm Phillippe: Yay! Thank you!
	5:01pm Mona: i like your logic tim! and thank you mcgroovey i couldn't have gotten that more wrong lol
	5:01pm McGroovey: I love really synthpop-Ministry
	5:01pm HyperDose: Oh Mona, you groove dealer you!
	5:01pm McGroovey: Early
	5:02pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Is there a Ministry other than the band from Chicago? Must be.
	5:03pm MyAcademy: +1 McGroovey. Album art on that first one is :chefkiss too.
	🥀 5:03pm karlward: Peter Hook's essay in Sober 21 is interesting, to say the least, maybe the guy has a reason not to tour with New Order: thecreativeindependent.com...
	5:03pm DouglasInDallas: Caught my mom jazzercizing to Ministry's With Sympathy when folks in Dallas were paying upwards of $100 for it and she said she heard it was good for jazzercizing and got it at KMart for $1.99😂 Ture story.... LOL
	🥀 5:03pm karlward: DouglasInDallas: this is the greatest Ministry video ever
	5:04pm ChukAmok: Uh Oh. Tornado watch in my area (again).
	5:04pm Mona: karlward, my friend elia does that sober 21 site! it's so rad!
	5:04pm nathan: technically, it's good for SYNTHercizing
	5:04pm Jeff Moore: Can we assume that song was referring to Nicolae Ceaușescu (chow-SHESK-oo), the last Romaninan Communist leader, deposed and executed (along with his wife) by firing squad? Or are there other noteworthy Ceausescus?
	🥀 5:04pm karlward: Mona: I read the whole thing, really well done
	5:05pm listener james from westwood: @Jeff: Only his wife, who bit it same time as Nick!
	5:05pm tim from washington: @JetBoy - Haha! Nope. This is Ministry from Chicago with angular haircuts before they became Ministry from Chicago with face tattoos.
	5:05pm Morphe': Niall .. if ya are still there ... going down the Ballyguin Bohreen for a swim.. Have not used the house shower in 20 years??? Soon we meet..
	5:05pm _Ike_: Which new and potentially returning old DJs are everyone's odds-on favorites for the summer schedule?
	5:06pm McGroovey: @JetBoy of Brooklyn It's the same Ministry, yes. The same guys who pummeled you with songs about devil worship and torture in the nineties originally played synth pop in the eighties.
	5:06pm Miss G: Morphe' I thought you'd be in Spain for the summer so happy you are in the homeland! Have a great time
	5:06pm mariano: Delurking to thank you for "Interesting Drug," haven't heard it in years!
	5:06pm DouglasInDallas: @Karlward certainly better than later one with crowd crushing... ugh use to have to deal with them all the time when I worked at Bill's Records... babysitting Al Jourgensen's kid in Chicago when left to score some drugs...
	🥀 5:06pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BTW this set is fucking FIRE.
	5:06pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Tim: OMG! Crazy. Just saw them in NJ, no evidence remains of those early days
	5:07pm βrian: Liz Berg, please. Meghan.
	5:07pm Jeff Moore: I hope Vicki / People Like Us does a summer season!
	5:07pm McGroovey: I love Morrissey's first solo album, but it's the only one I know.
	🥀 5:07pm Handy Haversack: morph, watch out for the cold things that follow you down the bohreen!
	5:07pm Will: I hadn't remembered that Morrissey used to say that there were bad people on the right: ha!
	5:08pm Mona: all the moz solo albums through 'ringleader of the tormentors' are amazing in my opinion
	5:08pm _Ike_: @βrian, LOLwut? I loved Liz's show but the last time I ran into her, she was like "not interested anymore!" which was sad. Though admittedly that was years ago.
	🥀 5:08pm bloumejune: @JetBoy I remember hearing from an interview that Al J. faked an English accent for this first album so he can sound more new wave, just to get his foot in the door of the record business. Once in he was able to do what he really wanted (which was very different to say the least!)
	5:09pm Miss G: HH I love your Pushkin story! Was just sitting here trying to think of a request, but anything I got was either a WFMU fave, or too "on the nose" so. .. just happy to hear the sounds now!
	5:09pm go.forth.and.thrash____: Aye! Thnx Mona! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:10pm _Ike_: AlanSix jokingly said I should do Vegas odds on the new schedule but I'm gonna call his bluff and DO IT!
	5:10pm mariano: Liz Berg's show was always incredible. My original favorite FMU show. I loved the Monday sched when it was Liz from 9-12 then Irene Trudel from 12-3.
	5:11pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Bloumrjune - I’m glad he did. I always knew he was a huge Blackhawks fan but not that Ministry ever made music suitable for jazzercise. Mind blown.
	🥀 5:11pm Handy Haversack: Just straight odds for each DJ on having a show on the summer sched., Ike? Or are there prop bets?
	5:11pm mariano: 80s Al Gore always reminded me of the singer for Spandau. I really wanted him to start his nomination speech by singing "With a thrill in my head, and a pill on my tongue..."
	5:11pm Miss G: Thank you mariano for your memories! I am a newbie and so am always interested/confused by tales of the station
	5:11pm Krys O.: Now we're in MY high school bedroom!
	5:12pm tim from washington: I saw Morrissey in 2015 before he turned into vegan Ted Nugent. It was a great show. Plus he did Suedehead which I'm really glad I got to see.
	5:12pm Kyle C.: Whoa, Mona, such a great show! We're normally putting the kids to sleep when you're on, so I had no idea—but I know now, and I'm adding you to the woefully long list of FMU shows we mustn't miss. Thank you for making Monday Friday! Best, Kyle
	5:13pm mariano: Oh, Miss G, so many amazing archives to explore! What's funny is that I've been listening to FMU for almost 25 years now and I'm a newbie compared to some listeners who've been tuning in since the 70s, even the 60s in a couple of cases iirc.
	5:14pm TDK60: I haven't heard Chant No. 1 in a spell.
	5:14pm Miss G: Yes mariano! So many places I lived in NYC and I could not get WFMU on my/our radio, and mostly knew from record fair. Lots of lore!
	5:14pm mariano: Hey there, Handy! Always looking for a slice of that action, huh?
	🥀 5:14pm bloumejune: @JetBoy Yep, pretty cool!
	5:15pm TDK60: That is correct, mariano.
	🥀 5:16pm Will the Sound Guy: Hi Mona, been diggin your fill-in for Olivia!
	5:16pm PuraVida: @Mariano I went to kindergarten through 6th grade with former WFMU DJ William Berger
	5:16pm Krys O.: I probably heard Chant No 1 on efd"s New Afternoon Show first.
	🥀 5:17pm Handy Haversack: I got ... personal problems, Mariano! And maybe Ike needs a collection agent. When I was a little kid, my dad and I would go meet once a week with his bookie's agent to settle up. "Let's go down to the restaurant and meet Dynamite, [Handy]."
	5:17pm efd: :: waving ::
	5:18pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Great show Mona thanks!!!!!
	🥀 5:18pm Niall: @Danny in Poughkeepsie: And the same!
	🥀 5:18pm karlward: Love this tempo!
	5:19pm Krys O.: (waves back at efd)
	🥀 5:19pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Quick note before doing more work stuff: @McGroovy FWIW I think that most of Morrisey's solo stuff other than Bona Drag is recursive circle jerk garbage. There, I said it.
	5:19pm Miss G: Oh man I watched "Party Girl" recently and this was not in it, but should have been
	🥀 5:19pm Niall: Go raibh math agat, @Mona. Keep Music Evil (Please)!
	5:20pm Danny in Poughkeepsie: Niall Fatima Mansions was one of the best shows I saw at the CMJ shows years back
	5:20pm Krys O.: @PuraVida! Hail fellow friend o' Wm!
	5:20pm Miss G: Dancing at Limelight to songs I "hated" LOL
	🥀 5:21pm Handy Haversack: tim: just wanted to compliment you on "vegan Ted Nugent." Points scored! Though I have heard fewer stories about the Nuge being an abusive monster on tour ...
	5:21pm Krys O.: Party Girl is a fave. I watched it last year and it really was still sweet.
	5:21pm McGroovey: Yeah, I don't really need to seek out the Morrissey stuff I've never heard. There is so much other interesting music to seek out, and so much music I actually have sitting beside my turntable that i haven't listened to because something good is on WFMU right now.
	5:22pm PuraVida: @Krys O I only found out about his passing a few months ago. Was sad to hear about it.
	🥀 5:22pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @McGroovey I know, right? I discover so much new stuff on Bandcamp EVERY DAY due to having WFMU on all day that if I bought everything that I wanted I'd just be signing over my paycheck to them.
	🥀 5:22pm Niall: Jeff Moore: Yes, the one and the same. And perhaps that's why it's not on "Viva Dead Ponies" when you buy it from the iTunes Music Store. No idea what that's about, but it's really "Pack of Lies" and the title track off that album for me, anyway.
	5:23pm Pablexa™: Thought that was Blancmange for a sec
	5:23pm anne: great to hear you, Mona!
	🥀 5:25pm Niall: Morphe': welcome home! Too much going on with house work and work-work to swim yet, but sooner than later, I hope. It's supposed to be a hot weekend.
	5:26pm Miss G: Krys O when she dances in the library at night! So great! and voguing to ___ (I lost the reference, I had it right here. . .) in any case, I love this film
	5:26pm tim from washington: @Handy - Let me refer you to Steve Miller's oral history on Detroit rock called "Detroit Rock City". I don't think there's anything positive said from Nugent's bandmates - hahaha. A writer for Creem said he could drive the shit out of a stick shift though.
	5:26pm Stanley: Boney!
	5:26pm efd: always love to hear Boney M!
	5:26pm timinoak: Mona!? Mona!? What a nice surprise to hear your show now!
	5:27pm Miss G: When I went to Germany, my friend was astounded that I had never heard of Boney M (nor Robbie Williams)
	🥀 5:27pm karlward: Boney M, gotta bring it to the masses, they don't know
	🥀 5:27pm Handy Haversack: That Sober 21 book is totally fascinating. Been sitting here reading it since karlward linked to it. With a glass of wine, it must be said. The statement from Emily Kempf is great.
	5:29pm PuraVida: Mona, today was so great, thank you so much. No case of the Monday's here...
	5:30pm Mona: thanks for the kind words and good vibes everyone! <3 my favorite monday in a long time!
	5:30pm dday: all that moody 80's sound earlier..play any "Crush" www.youtube.com...
	5:31pm tim from washington: Did Midlake borrow a little from Fleetwood Mac here?
	5:31pm DouglasInDallas: Shopping for Boney M again... Thanks McSorley and Mona... guess I should just buy everything now... oooh Midlake repping the North Texas in the house...
	5:31pm Frank Zaatar: Thanks, Mona, for taking me to that 70s Mediterranean beach bar in my head with Boney M!
	5:31pm luka: “your love/my girls” had me gliding on the post-work run
	🥀 5:32pm Handy Haversack: Douglas, Marty mention makes me want to hear Light Asylum!
	🥀 5:32pm Niall: My grandmother here in Ireland used to tell me that I would run around when I was small, singing "brown girl in the ring." I had no recollection of it and was mortified that I sang some horribly racist song on the regular as a three, four-year-old. Thank god someone played Boney M at a party sometime in my late thirties. Oh, the "Roscoe" song! This is such, such, such a good cut. Is the rest of their stuff this good?
	5:32pm DouglasInDallas: @Tim think you're right...
	5:34pm PuraVida: @Niall midlakeband.bandcamp.com...
	5:34pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: I agree - Roscoe is a great track - anyone have an opinion on the rest of the album?
	5:34pm dale: hey now - enjoying the hits, even the stars on 45 type one. poor raping murderous roscoe 'fatty' arbuckle...so misunderstood.
	5:35pm PuraVida: Jetboy I just sent Niall the Bandcamp link
	5:36pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Saw that Pura - thank you!
	5:36pm Miss G: Don't forget MEKONS
	🥀 5:36pm Handy Haversack: If it's not selfish, Mona, does the library have the Wonderstuff / Never Loved Elvis / "Size of a Cow" on hand?
	5:36pm GG..: request - Rent Boy by HTRK ;)
	5:37pm Miss G: LOL
	5:37pm miles of middle texas: Enjoying the show. ..
	5:37pm GG..: love the surprise afternoon show!
	5:37pm Pablexa™: Well I just LOL'd
	🥀 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the Mona Matinee Monster Madness today. I need to ditch now, though. Take care.
	5:38pm Miss G: OK the other one we'd sing out, it's not so "cool," but factually, it's "I might like you better if we slept together"
	5:38pm dale: oh man, this and torn between lovers had my pubescent mind wondering what was going on between the male and female species.
	🥀 5:38pm Handy Haversack: Ike, is this your request?
	5:38pm Webhamster Henry: You haven't lived until you've heard John Schnall's Midnight Matinee riff on "I've Never Been To Me"
	5:39pm mariano: Polari's a fascinating subject. Its roots go back to 18th-century (or even earlier) Roma and underworld slang. Terms like drag, butch, campy, ogle, and a few others come from Polari. Bona drag = "nice threads."
	5:39pm Webhamster Henry: My then-fiancee almost left me for playing an aircheck of it.
	🥀 5:39pm Niall: Oh wow this... era of songs. Damn, it takes me back to radios in the kitchen, etc.
	5:39pm tim from washington: I'd like to think that Clay Pigeon and Fabio slow dance to this song.
	5:39pm _Ike_: @Handy, LOLOLOLOLOL
	5:39pm dale: how many kings has she been with? larry king? the burger king?
	5:40pm DouglasInDallas: When this Charlene "I've Never Been to Me" came out 1) I thought it was on Free to Be (You and Me) 2) Thought she was saying she'd never seen her knees 😂
	5:40pm Miss G: laughing so hard dale
	🥀 5:40pm Niall: Are these lyrics saying what I'm hearing?
	5:40pm Stanley: King Kong!
	5:40pm The Librarian: Belting this one out. No one appreciates it.
	5:40pm GG..: subtle whoring??
	5:40pm mariano: I've never been to Charlene either.
	🥀 5:41pm bloumejune: @tim Funny
	🥀 5:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Who else has never been to Maine?
	5:41pm _Ike_: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha WHAT A SEGUE
	🥀 5:41pm Niall: @GG.. knows what I'm talking about.
	5:41pm dale: my work here is done then miss g.
	🥀 5:41pm Handy Haversack: Patrons shushing a librarian -- dogs and cats living together! It'll be anarchy!
	🥀 5:41pm Niall: That actually sounded a lot like something off "Music of Mind Control."
	5:41pm McGroovey: My friend just posted a video link to this Charlene song today on Facebook, coincidentally! It's the Her Solid Gold lip-synch performance... youtu.be...
	5:41pm dale: some debby boone would be sweet.
	5:42pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: @Mona - I told QTR (Quartermusic of Brooklyn) that you played a song of hers on FMU - she was very excited to hear that. Was a few weeks back, just remembered that.
	5:42pm Webhamster Henry: You can ruin/complete your life right here: arch.wfmu.org.s3.amazonaws.com...
	5:43pm GG..: thankyou! Rowland S Howard on guitar for this - my all time fave
	5:43pm facecheekwall: Feeling the oldies/disco direction? If so, then it’s not “too late to turn back now”.
	5:44pm Jeff Moore: If you're still casting about for additional song notions... the discussion of Polari makes me want to hear Bowie's Girl Loves Me again, or... gee, we haven't heard any Cure yet today (and it's always interesting to see what people reach for when they reach for some Cure).
	🥀 5:45pm Handy Haversack: Ooo, good challenge, Jeff Moore!
	5:45pm gauche knee: That Charlene song makes much more sense now vs hearing your friends’ mom sing it zoned after picking us up from elementary school.
	5:46pm Trey: This isn’t how I usually feel on Monday afternoon
	5:46pm DouglasInDallas: OMG @Webmaster Henry now my ADHD is thinking of all the movies done from already recorded songs... 😲
	5:46pm Miss G: AAAHHHHHGGGGGHHHHHHH
	🥀 5:46pm Niall: Now I'm greedy, like "oooh, Flaming Stars, they'd be great after this Mekons song!"
	5:47pm Jeff Moore: @Handy: I wasn't meaning to issue a challenge!
	5:47pm Krys O.: Such fun! Thanks, Mona!
	5:47pm Miss G: "You had yellow hair, do you LOVE ME?!" well I say "dude! please! do not love me only for my yellow hair!!!"
	5:47pm gauche knee: Also, Mona in the midday?! Clay doing double shift? Love it but hope everyone’s alright and not another Covid thing 🤞🏾
	🥀 5:47pm Handy Haversack: I just mean that my brain immediately seized up while trying to reach for four different Cure albums all at the same time -- and I don't have the WFMU library!
	5:48pm listener monica: melons!!!
	5:48pm listener monica: damn autocorrect.
	5:48pm Jeff Moore: @Handy: Understood!
	5:49pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Hey, melons can be great
	5:49pm Miss G: What a great segue, so happy right now. . .
	5:49pm tim from washington: It's not too late! It's not too late!
	🥀 5:49pm Niall: Wooo, what a terrific song to hear.
	5:49pm dale: maybe just an fmu officer off.site
	5:49pm diciassette: ahoy Mona! thanks for the melons!
	5:49pm DouglasInDallas: String sections always make a song better....
	5:49pm Miss G: MELONS
	5:50pm tim from washington: Ooh, excellent GIF from Black Klansman. The dance sequence was my favorite part of that movie.
	5:50pm dale: everyone likes melons. musk, water....
	🥀 5:50pm chris in the redwoods: wow, Mona and commenters. thanks so much for all the great tunes! really had a great time. :) <3
	5:51pm McGroovey: Great show today, Mona. Winging it worked out fine.
	5:51pm DouglasInDallas: Not sure how Mona able to get the gifs to sync like she does but loving it today
	5:51pm dday: It's like a time machine today since Clay's fill in for Joe. I've had The Grassroots "Sooner or Later" stuck in my head all day :)
	5:52pm Jeff Moore: Ha! This is fun!
	🥀 5:52pm Handy Haversack: This was such a great treat -- miss your show, Mona! We'll try to carve out a Friday soon to join you in sync time. Fantastic stuff today! Thanks so much. OH HELL YEAH. My brain definitely reached in this direction! Later on, Monads! Stay singular!
	5:52pm Mona: thanks everyone for your suggestions and nice comments and general awesome juju! <3 i'll be back friday night...til then <3
	5:52pm Miss G: dday I have the Grassroots stuck in my head every day
	5:53pm tim from washington: Thanks, Mona! Super show this afternoon!
	🥀 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Robert Smith stole karlward's cardigan! I ... don't know whom to call.
	5:53pm DouglasInDallas: BTW The Cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is one the best albums to play at 45rpm instead of 33..
	5:53pm dday: Miss G: That's cool. Rob Grill was a talented guy
	5:53pm dday: One of The Cure's best !!!!
	5:53pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Thanks for the great show.
	5:54pm Miss G: and you have to see the Go Gos talk about their "dance" on the Sparks movie. ..
	5:54pm Fishtown Mike: Great fill-in today, Mona! Thanks!
	5:55pm HyperDose: You're pretty rad, Mona ♨️
	5:55pm The Butterman: What a great and fun show, Mona! Thanks.
	5:55pm McGroovey: One of Nash the Slash's records was designed to play at any speed. My turntable only does 33⅓ and 45, sadly.
	5:55pm Miss G: I CAN NOT believe it is 6 o'clock, I will have to get a note from the principal from all the WFMU dj's today. .. Thank You Mona, it was GREAT
