	9:22pm radiofreebronx: SIP Andy. A week of such infinite sadness on all levels.
	9:24pm Keys_Made: <3<3
	9:27pm Mona: ok maybe out of my wheel house, but i saw akhnaten at the met opera this week, and it was BREATHTAKING...it's playing til june 10th!
	9:27pm TDK60: Freeform they say, eh? I dig it.
	9:29pm steveo: don't think I ever heard this one; is it a soundtrack?
	9:30pm steveo: oh it's an opera ., like the DJ just said,oops
	9:31pm Mona: same thing basically :) they're actually screening a doc about it on/at metrograph: nyc.metrograph.com...
	9:31pm wearpants: Mona, If we can get from here to “ArmaLite Rifle" by Gang of Four by the end of the show I will be very impressed
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...people in Glass wheelhouses shouldn't ...um ...I forgot...
	9:32pm steveo: oh cool, well now i want to see the doc :)
	9:33pm radiofreebronx: Love Metrograph
	9:34pm radiofreebronx: This show is giving me "End Times" vibes so far. And appropriately so....
	9:41pm Mona: thank you radiofreebronx...it's been yet another one of those kinds of weeks hasn't it? when will we get to stop saying that? :)
	9:44pm ryansterlingvirtue: Hi Mona! Just checking in. Would you believe I never listened to the rapture cuz everyone said it sucks. I really like this though.
	9:44pm radiofreebronx: It surely has. Way too many of "those kinds of weeks" to the point where it seems every week is "that kind of week". Thank you for providing a respite in the midst of Rome falling.
	9:45pm TonyR: On the "Rapture" tour, S&TB's sold coffee mugs at the merch table. Now THERE was something I could fit into!
	9:46pm Mona: spiritualized open for them on that tour too! that was my first time seeing siouxsie...i was sooo mesmerized
	9:46pm slugluv1313: omg you got to see Akhenaten -- i am so "jealous" Anthony Roth Castanzo is out of this world, & such a sweetheart
	9:46pm Ike: I don't think most of us expected Rome to fall so slowly. It's taking forever!
	9:47pm TonyR: "Rapture" is a fine album. A tad long for vinyl, however.
	9:47pm radiofreebronx: Yes @Ike. Let's wrap this up already.
	9:49pm TonyR: Maybe I'm just getting old, but so many things just seem... broken.
	9:50pm Mona: totally ike and tony...it's exhausting. also slugluv...that was such a bright spot in my week...anthony is INCREDIBLE...i actually cried it was so magical
	9:52pm HyperDose: 💚❤️💙💛💜🧡
	9:52pm radiofreebronx: The fact that we can cry over art shows that all is not lost or broken. Just most...:(
	9:54pm radiofreebronx: Looking At Your Pager.....gonna tell my kids this is Hauntology
	9:54pm slugluv1313: the clips i have seen of Akhnaten (on the Met's website? last time it was there and TOTALLY sold out!) killed me . . . but before i even saw those, one Saturday i was missing my Mom, so i tuned in to WQXR (which she played all the time for as long as i can remember) -- they were doing a live broadcast of Akhnaten -- i was in tears
	9:55pm slugluv1313: *AKHNATEN!!! damned auto-type
	9:56pm Andres: ❤️
	9:56pm northguineahills: Akhnaten was the first Glass opera I picked up 25 years ago when I was in uni....
	9:56pm DanFA: 2 Depeche Mode tracks during one show? Bless you, Mona!
	9:57pm Mona: there's gonna be a lot more dm and siouxsie tonight my friends...celebrating the circle of life...
	9:58pm DanFA: @Mona, praise be!
	9:58pm Andres: All the told you so’s at the end is my fave part. :)
	10:01pm Roberto: I think it's safe to say it's been National Shite Week here in the you ess ayy.
	10:01pm DanFA: Very sad.
	10:02pm slugluv1313: @Mona -- so glad you got to experience that! & totally understand, i would be in tears too 🧡🧡🧡
	10:02pm DanFA: We must protect Siouxsie.
	10:03pm DanFA: In the fantasy Cool World lineup can it be living or dead?
	10:04pm DanFA: @Mona, I'd like to request Sacred by Depeche Mode.
	10:08pm Andres: Dream concert for me involves a time machine and a fountain of youth so I could pogo all day long in the heat of the day. Greatest regret was missing The Ramones when they were in my hometown and I was out of town.
	10:10pm northguineahills: I've already experienced my dream concerts, maybe I experience many more...
	10:11pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday Everyone!
	10:12pm Jocelyn: Hey NGH! How are you? I haven’t seen you in months!
	10:14pm northguineahills: When I was a senior in HS, my good friend had just started uni, and had a dorm room next to the stadium. Well, Depeche Mode played there, and she held her phone off the hook while she went to the show so I could listen to it....
	10:15pm Dean: Over the last two days I played the DM singles from '81 to '98, 3CDs. Was never a big fan back in the day, but I'm saddened by the loss.
	10:15pm HyperDose: This is a sexy show!
	10:16pm radiofreebronx: Stevie B!
	10:16pm Andres: NGH, that’s a good friend!
	10:16pm northguineahills: @Jocelyn: how dee OOOs! I've been mending physically. I get eye surgeries in the next few weeks. I hope to be back to my old healthy self (I'm already exercising again) before the end of summertide... Thanks for asking, how have you've been doing?
	10:17pm alanSixº: Damn mona I’m on my deck with with one of the guys I grew up with and we’re out here bustin moves - seaside heights 88 baby
	10:20pm slugluv1313: hiya NGH! glad to hear that! was wondering about the eye surgeries -- sending positive healing vibes your way

	10:27pm northguineahills: Ladytron! (my first NYC dj years)
	10:27pm DanFA: Seamless transition.
	10:34pm Mona: thank you vanessa!! that's so funny i'm psychically channeling all the heardles
	10:34pm Jocelyn: NGH, sending wellness your way! I always worry when I don’t see you. Everything’s good here
	10:36pm Andres: Pet Shop Boys Best Of gets heavy play off the old iPod in the car.
	10:37pm northguineahills: I usually only can find time for wfmu in the late evenings or early mornings these days.. merci, Jocelyn....
	10:37pm Vanessa bikes: They most listen to your show! Absolutely Fabulous
	10:40pm Andres: This gif is both hilarious and disturbing!
	10:41pm Harry Corvair: This mix? Yes.
	10:43pm DanFA: @Andres, pure nightmare fuel. Their outfits are so, so tight.
	10:44pm DanFA: @Mona, This was my introduction to Depeche Mode. I was in high school and Dream On was in constant radio rotation in my area.
	10:47pm DanFA: Hell yeah
	10:47pm Roberto: Nigel wants to go and see De-pe-shay Mode.
	10:47pm Andres: DanFA: The yellow background burns my eyes. A few changes in the colours and I would jump in to learn the move.
	10:47pm Stevel: Oh my. We may have taken a turn here.
	10:48pm Andres: !!! This would come on in a favourite basement club and the room was destroyed!!! Luckily it was all concrete block.
	10:48pm Ike: Lots o' Ministry on FMU lately, seems like. And nothing wrong with that!
	10:49pm northguineahills: @Andres: My eyes are useless I replied in my mind, "there's yellow in the background?"
	10:49pm JDM: gibbbbby
	10:49pm Harry Corvair: Ring a ding a dinga dong dinga dong ding dong, friends.
	10:49pm Stevel: Sorry I couldn't get out to see Ministry and The Melvins earlier this year.
	10:50pm Stevel: I like that there are two producers of Reverend Horton Heat songs on this track.
	10:51pm Andres: NGH: All the good action was in the foreground anyways.
	10:52pm Roberto: I may have mentioned this before, but Souixsie and Geddy Lee have almost identical vocal registers.
	10:52pm Roberto: Siouxsie
	🥀 10:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: I see Marcel M is back next month, filling in for Herweg. Will be neat to hear a show from him again.
	10:53pm Andres: Roberto: Sounds like potential mashup fodder.
	10:53pm Stevel: The Scream was an early purchase for me, at Wax Trax in Denver. The cover was pretty fucking eerie. I grew into the album
	10:53pm mariano: Hey, Mona, everyone! I count myself among the blessed for having seen Siouxsie once in my life. Please line up to the left for autographs, only one per customer. Seriously though, good to see you're on the summer sched in your customary spot, Mona!
	10:53pm PMD: This has been just what I needed. Thanks!!
	10:54pm northguineahills: First Mudhoney album I got....
	10:54pm Mike Sin: Groovin' like a maniac to Mudhoney in the library!
	10:55pm northguineahills: salutations, mariano!
	10:55pm Stevel: mariano: I'll hold your bag. I saw her in '82-'83. Very happy to do so. I only really picked up on Mudhoney about 10 years ago. Such a fucking great rock and roll band!
	10:57pm Stevel: Mona: Whatever you're doing, keep it up!
	10:57pm mariano: Hey, ngh! Well, you've got me beat by about a decade there, Stevel!
	10:58pm Jason from Screwston: Tuned in, locked in. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	10:59pm Andres: Hey, mariano! Siouxsie in NOLA?
	11:01pm Stevel: Well, I've beaten more and more people timewise. Hope to keep it up. WFMU helped me not to give a shit when I find good music. Between Denver and Madison (school) I managed to see a handful of legendary acts in the right venues. Actually saw the Ramones twice, once in each town.
	11:03pm wearpants: Ladytron!
	11:04pm radiofreebronx: Next up C&C Music Factory b/w Mother Love Bone :)
	11:07pm mariano: Andres: No, would that it had been so! Kansas City, actually, as part of the first Lollapalooza. I was also too lazy to go to Bauhaus a couple of years ago, another act it would've been great to see here.
	11:08pm slugluv1313: hiya mariano -- long time no see! (or have i been REALLY m.i.a.?!?) oh gosh yes -- seeing Siouxsie is a total blessing -- saw them in 1980 at NYC's Palladium (now NYU dorms ugh) (i think this may have been their first US tour/date?)
	11:08pm Paulo AD: Morning All :) how are ya
	11:09pm JDM: gouda cheese Paulo
	11:10pm Jason from Screwston: Saw Siouxsie in Dallas, 1995. Flooded my crap car getting to the show. It was worth it. Wild and wonderful.
	11:10pm slugluv1313: The Creatures 🖤🖤🖤
	11:10pm Keys_Made: well heck if nobody else is gonna request MOnitor from juju would be swell. and/or Policy of truth bc im basic?
	11:11pm Keys_Made: something from Blue Sunshine?
	11:11pm Ike: Speaking of the summer schedule, I thought I had a hot hand when I correctly predicted that Mona would move to Fri. 9-12 midnight back in fall 2021, but the odds I drew up this time for the summer weren't nearly as good. I lost an awful lot of imaginary play money! I didn't think there'd be nearly so many new and returning DJs. And J. Herweg is back! Yay!
	11:11pm JDM: found my password!
	11:12pm JDM: thank you for this amazing show. salut to all in chat my 2nd concert, big sis took me to see siouxsie and julian cope!
	11:12pm DanFA: What is this My Favorite gif from?
	11:12pm slugluv1313: @Keys_Made -- omg yes MONITOR! also Icon from Join Hands -- one of my favorites
	11:13pm Boulder Tom: I loved My Favorite. 90’s NYC
	11:14pm Keys_Made: Congrats JDM!
	11:14pm Keys_Made: saluté slugluv <3
	11:14pm Paulo AD: Ah shit, seems kellen is not on the summer schedule :( that's really sad
	11:15pm Keys_Made: gooood graavy thxxxx
	11:16pm Mona: keys made, the basic b in me honors the basic b in you...radiofreebronx, thank you for turning me onto my favorite! danfa: that's a young amanda lepore and other club kids on some talk show...maybe donahue? maury? geraldo? sally jessy rafael?
	11:16pm DanFA: One of the best albums ever.
	11:16pm Andres: Gold!!
	11:16pm Mona: paulo same...but kellen said he didn't want to be on the summer schedule...sad for us, but happy for him to have a break
	11:16pm mariano: Heya, slugs! Good to see you. Been listening as always, but in lurk mode because of work.
	11:17pm Keys_Made: basics STAND UP
	11:17pm Paulo AD: Mona, that's fair enough then. Nice for him to take a break. Have to readjust my ear flaps for the start of the week
	11:17pm northguineahills: I discovered Depeche Mode when a friend got a cassette of theirs the summer after the 4th grade, right before I moved to Japan....
	11:18pm Paulo AD: There is aad bar in Talin, Estonia that's dedicated to Depeche mode
	11:19pm slugluv1313: @Jason from Screwston -- you freaking rule, going to protest that &%# NRA crap
	11:19pm Paulo AD: Also went on the hansa studio tour in Berlin as part of the bowie tour, they mostly talked about Depeche mode haha
	11:20pm Paulo AD: I applied to radio row this week :)
	11:21pm mariano: Ooh, good luck, Paulo!
	11:21pm slugluv1313: hiya Paulo -- freaking awesome!!!
	11:21pm radiofreebronx: @Mona glad you dug My Favorite. Love them!
	11:21pm Ike: Was "Policy of Truth" hinting at "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" types of relationships long before that was a thing that (most) people talked about? Always struck as kinky for a popular early-90s song!
	11:22pm Jason from Screwston: Basic me checking in for Blasphemous Rumors. No pressure. Great songs, Mona. Thank you!
	11:22pm northguineahills: Polish?
	11:23pm slugluv1313: Czech?
	11:24pm northguineahills: @slugluv: that was my first guess, my I never go w/ my first guess...
	11:25pm Mona: ngh you are correct! 20 points
	11:25pm Jason from Screwston: Haha! Thanks, slugluv1313. I listened to some folks give speeches for a hot second and then just went and yelled at NRA people trying to get back to their cars and like, three dudes eating Chik-fil-a.
	11:25pm Mona: slugluv, your consolation prize is your siouxsie request
	11:26pm slugluv1313: thank you Mona!!! as always, Siouxsie WAY ahead of the times 🖤🖤🖤
	11:26pm Paulo AD: Thanks guys. I've also recorded a demo show as an audition for on of the streams :) your overnight is my day so it should work out haha
	11:26pm northguineahills: now, if I can add my 20 points to Ike's imaginary money, we'd have......????
	11:28pm Paulo AD: NGH in the words of danhausen, lots of human moneys
	11:30pm Jason from Screwston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	11:30pm northguineahills: funny thing, humans and their moneys.....
	11:30pm slugluv1313: sending Siouxsie love to Shelby G. 🖤🐈‍⬛💜🕸️🖤
	11:31pm Jason from Screwston: This song every single time.
	11:32pm Ike: This song sums it all up this week, doesn't it.
	11:32pm Stevel: Ike: You said a mouthful.
	11:32pm DanFA: Blasphemous Rumors Top of the Pops performance: www.youtube.com...
	11:33pm DanFA: @Ike, agreed
	11:33pm DanFA: @Ike, last two weeks/years also
	11:34pm slugluv1313: @Ike, DanFA -- agreed, yes, feels like forever
	11:36pm Boulder Tom: Stripped is a DM song I really love. There’s a new John McGeoch biography out called “The Light Pours out of Me”.
	11:36pm Aitch: teeny techno sounds from when I was still one
	11:37pm mizholden: Sex dwarf?
	11:39pm Derek: Hi Mona, Banshees -Supernatural Thing?
	11:39pm olo J. Milkman: The Lighthouse from siouxsie's collab with Hector Zazou
	11:41pm mizholden: Oh yes!
	11:42pm Jason from Screwston: Ohhhh shoot!!! Get on the floor, people...
	11:45pm radiofreebronx: Just busted out this on vinyl the other day. What a brilliant album.
	11:45pm Aitch: early 80's Sydney written all over this one
	11:47pm mizholden: Thank you!
	11:48pm Harry Corvair: Siouxsie, out there scatting and rapping. Best show, Mona.
	11:49pm radiofreebronx: Excellent set tonight as always @Mona. Thanks for a distraction from reality!!!
	11:49pm Derek: Thanks Mona !
	11:50pm Boulder Tom: Yep
	11:51pm Paulo AD: Right guys, I'm off to get frustrated for two hours :p have a great weekend ahead
	11:51pm TonyR: TY, Mona!!
	11:52pm Ike: More directly kinky than "Policy of Truth". I approve.
	11:52pm Ike: They could change it to "let me hear you make decisions/ without your phone" and it would still rhyme, and be apropos for our era.
	🥀 11:54pm Handy Haversack: Just home in time for the last few minutes. Thanks, Mona! Glad to get this much!
	11:54pm northguineahills: danks sew much mona, I needed this evening. have a fun evening, friends!
	🥀 11:54pm bloumejune: So glad I can join in via app during my drive tonight! I didn't want to miss tonight. I knew it would be a remembrance of Andy Fletcher. Thank you as always and have a good weekend Mona and listeners!
	11:54pm Stevel: For me, Siouxie really seemed to stick to her ethic, oeuvre, or what ever it is when you make the art you want by leveraging popular platforms. Never a clear line, but she seems to remain true to her earliest Bromley Contingent self (at least as much as would make sense.) You rock with requests, Mona!
	11:54pm DanFA: Another great show tonight, Mona.
	🥀 11:55pm Handy Haversack: Oh, damn, you played "Joey"! You have to hear K8's karaoke version!
	🥀 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona. Nice tribute and celebration.
	11:55pm DanFA: Is it basic if it's a great song, though?
	11:56pm Jason from Screwston: Thank you, Mona. You are the best. Cheers, radio buddies. Stay safe and sweeeeeeeeet. ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:56pm Boulder Tom: Thanks Mona. RIP Fletch
	11:57pm Mona: thank you guys for your awesome requests, sorry i didn't get to them all! always the highlight of my week to hang with you all!
	11:59pm river: thanks mona!!
	🥀 11:59pm bloumejune: Sweet ending
	12:00am slugluv1313: awesome show, Mona -- thanks so much for bringing brightness to us all!
	12:00am DanFA: @Mona, likewise. You rock!

	9:27pm Mona: ok maybe out of my wheel house, but i saw akhnaten at the met opera this week, and it was BREATHTAKING...it's playing til june 10th!
	9:27pm TDK60: Freeform they say, eh? I dig it.
	9:29pm steveo: don't think I ever heard this one; is it a soundtrack?
	9:30pm steveo: oh it's an opera ., like the DJ just said,oops
	9:31pm Mona: same thing basically :) they're actually screening a doc about it on/at metrograph: nyc.metrograph.com...
	9:31pm wearpants: Mona, If we can get from here to “ArmaLite Rifle" by Gang of Four by the end of the show I will be very impressed
	9:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...people in Glass wheelhouses shouldn't ...um ...I forgot...

	9:33pm radiofreebronx: Love Metrograph
	9:34pm radiofreebronx: This show is giving me "End Times" vibes so far. And appropriately so....
	9:41pm Mona: thank you radiofreebronx...it's been yet another one of those kinds of weeks hasn't it? when will we get to stop saying that? :)
	9:44pm ryansterlingvirtue: Hi Mona! Just checking in. Would you believe I never listened to the rapture cuz everyone said it sucks. I really like this though.
	9:44pm radiofreebronx: It surely has. Way too many of "those kinds of weeks" to the point where it seems every week is "that kind of week". Thank you for providing a respite in the midst of Rome falling.
	9:45pm TonyR: On the "Rapture" tour, S&TB's sold coffee mugs at the merch table. Now THERE was something I could fit into!
	9:46pm Mona: spiritualized open for them on that tour too! that was my first time seeing siouxsie...i was sooo mesmerized
	9:46pm slugluv1313: omg you got to see Akhenaten -- i am so "jealous" Anthony Roth Castanzo is out of this world, & such a sweetheart
	9:46pm Ike: I don't think most of us expected Rome to fall so slowly. It's taking forever!
	9:47pm TonyR: "Rapture" is a fine album. A tad long for vinyl, however.
	9:47pm radiofreebronx: Yes @Ike. Let's wrap this up already.
	9:49pm TonyR: Maybe I'm just getting old, but so many things just seem... broken.
	9:50pm Mona: totally ike and tony...it's exhausting. also slugluv...that was such a bright spot in my week...anthony is INCREDIBLE...i actually cried it was so magical
	9:52pm HyperDose: 💚❤️💙💛💜🧡
	9:52pm radiofreebronx: The fact that we can cry over art shows that all is not lost or broken. Just most...:(
	9:54pm radiofreebronx: Looking At Your Pager.....gonna tell my kids this is Hauntology
	9:54pm slugluv1313: the clips i have seen of Akhnaten (on the Met's website? last time it was there and TOTALLY sold out!) killed me . . . but before i even saw those, one Saturday i was missing my Mom, so i tuned in to WQXR (which she played all the time for as long as i can remember) -- they were doing a live broadcast of Akhnaten -- i was in tears
	9:55pm slugluv1313: *AKHNATEN!!! damned auto-type
	9:56pm Andres: ❤️
	9:56pm northguineahills: Akhnaten was the first Glass opera I picked up 25 years ago when I was in uni....
	9:56pm DanFA: 2 Depeche Mode tracks during one show? Bless you, Mona!
	9:57pm Mona: there's gonna be a lot more dm and siouxsie tonight my friends...celebrating the circle of life...
	9:58pm DanFA: @Mona, praise be!
	9:58pm Andres: All the told you so’s at the end is my fave part. :)
	10:01pm Roberto: I think it's safe to say it's been National Shite Week here in the you ess ayy.
	10:01pm DanFA: Very sad.
	10:02pm slugluv1313: @Mona -- so glad you got to experience that! & totally understand, i would be in tears too 🧡🧡🧡
	10:02pm DanFA: We must protect Siouxsie.
	10:03pm DanFA: In the fantasy Cool World lineup can it be living or dead?
	10:04pm DanFA: @Mona, I'd like to request Sacred by Depeche Mode.
	10:08pm Andres: Dream concert for me involves a time machine and a fountain of youth so I could pogo all day long in the heat of the day. Greatest regret was missing The Ramones when they were in my hometown and I was out of town.
	10:10pm northguineahills: I've already experienced my dream concerts, maybe I experience many more...
	10:11pm Jocelyn: Happy Friday Everyone!
	10:12pm Jocelyn: Hey NGH! How are you? I haven’t seen you in months!
	10:14pm northguineahills: When I was a senior in HS, my good friend had just started uni, and had a dorm room next to the stadium. Well, Depeche Mode played there, and she held her phone off the hook while she went to the show so I could listen to it....
	10:15pm Dean: Over the last two days I played the DM singles from '81 to '98, 3CDs. Was never a big fan back in the day, but I'm saddened by the loss.
	10:15pm HyperDose: This is a sexy show!
	10:16pm radiofreebronx: Stevie B!
	10:16pm Andres: NGH, that’s a good friend!
	10:16pm northguineahills: @Jocelyn: how dee OOOs! I've been mending physically. I get eye surgeries in the next few weeks. I hope to be back to my old healthy self (I'm already exercising again) before the end of summertide... Thanks for asking, how have you've been doing?
	10:17pm alanSixº: Damn mona I’m on my deck with with one of the guys I grew up with and we’re out here bustin moves - seaside heights 88 baby
	10:20pm slugluv1313: hiya NGH! glad to hear that! was wondering about the eye surgeries -- sending positive healing vibes your way

	10:27pm DanFA: Seamless transition.
	10:34pm Mona: thank you vanessa!! that's so funny i'm psychically channeling all the heardles
	10:34pm Jocelyn: NGH, sending wellness your way! I always worry when I don’t see you. Everything’s good here
	10:36pm Andres: Pet Shop Boys Best Of gets heavy play off the old iPod in the car.
	10:37pm northguineahills: I usually only can find time for wfmu in the late evenings or early mornings these days.. merci, Jocelyn....
	10:37pm Vanessa bikes: They most listen to your show! Absolutely Fabulous
	10:40pm Andres: This gif is both hilarious and disturbing!
	10:41pm Harry Corvair: This mix? Yes.
	10:43pm DanFA: @Andres, pure nightmare fuel. Their outfits are so, so tight.
	10:44pm DanFA: @Mona, This was my introduction to Depeche Mode. I was in high school and Dream On was in constant radio rotation in my area.
	10:47pm DanFA: Hell yeah
	10:47pm Roberto: Nigel wants to go and see De-pe-shay Mode.
	10:47pm Andres: DanFA: The yellow background burns my eyes. A few changes in the colours and I would jump in to learn the move.
	10:47pm Stevel: Oh my. We may have taken a turn here.
	10:48pm Andres: !!! This would come on in a favourite basement club and the room was destroyed!!! Luckily it was all concrete block.
	10:48pm Ike: Lots o' Ministry on FMU lately, seems like. And nothing wrong with that!
	10:49pm northguineahills: @Andres: My eyes are useless I replied in my mind, "there's yellow in the background?"
	10:49pm JDM: gibbbbby
	10:49pm Harry Corvair: Ring a ding a dinga dong dinga dong ding dong, friends.
	10:49pm Stevel: Sorry I couldn't get out to see Ministry and The Melvins earlier this year.
	10:50pm Stevel: I like that there are two producers of Reverend Horton Heat songs on this track.
	10:51pm Andres: NGH: All the good action was in the foreground anyways.
	10:52pm Roberto: I may have mentioned this before, but Souixsie and Geddy Lee have almost identical vocal registers.
	10:52pm Roberto: Siouxsie
	🥀 10:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: I see Marcel M is back next month, filling in for Herweg. Will be neat to hear a show from him again.
	10:53pm Andres: Roberto: Sounds like potential mashup fodder.
	10:53pm Stevel: The Scream was an early purchase for me, at Wax Trax in Denver. The cover was pretty fucking eerie. I grew into the album
	10:53pm mariano: Hey, Mona, everyone! I count myself among the blessed for having seen Siouxsie once in my life. Please line up to the left for autographs, only one per customer. Seriously though, good to see you're on the summer sched in your customary spot, Mona!
	10:53pm PMD: This has been just what I needed. Thanks!!
	10:54pm northguineahills: First Mudhoney album I got....
	10:54pm Mike Sin: Groovin' like a maniac to Mudhoney in the library!
	10:55pm northguineahills: salutations, mariano!
	10:55pm Stevel: mariano: I'll hold your bag. I saw her in '82-'83. Very happy to do so. I only really picked up on Mudhoney about 10 years ago. Such a fucking great rock and roll band!
	10:57pm Stevel: Mona: Whatever you're doing, keep it up!
	10:57pm mariano: Hey, ngh! Well, you've got me beat by about a decade there, Stevel!
	10:58pm Jason from Screwston: Tuned in, locked in. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	10:59pm Andres: Hey, mariano! Siouxsie in NOLA?
	11:01pm Stevel: Well, I've beaten more and more people timewise. Hope to keep it up. WFMU helped me not to give a shit when I find good music. Between Denver and Madison (school) I managed to see a handful of legendary acts in the right venues. Actually saw the Ramones twice, once in each town.
	11:03pm wearpants: Ladytron!
	11:04pm radiofreebronx: Next up C&C Music Factory b/w Mother Love Bone :)
	11:07pm mariano: Andres: No, would that it had been so! Kansas City, actually, as part of the first Lollapalooza. I was also too lazy to go to Bauhaus a couple of years ago, another act it would've been great to see here.
	11:08pm slugluv1313: hiya mariano -- long time no see! (or have i been REALLY m.i.a.?!?) oh gosh yes -- seeing Siouxsie is a total blessing -- saw them in 1980 at NYC's Palladium (now NYU dorms ugh) (i think this may have been their first US tour/date?)
	11:08pm Paulo AD: Morning All :) how are ya
	11:09pm JDM: gouda cheese Paulo
	11:10pm Jason from Screwston: Saw Siouxsie in Dallas, 1995. Flooded my crap car getting to the show. It was worth it. Wild and wonderful.
	11:10pm slugluv1313: The Creatures 🖤🖤🖤
	11:10pm Keys_Made: well heck if nobody else is gonna request MOnitor from juju would be swell. and/or Policy of truth bc im basic?
	11:11pm Keys_Made: something from Blue Sunshine?
	11:11pm Ike: Speaking of the summer schedule, I thought I had a hot hand when I correctly predicted that Mona would move to Fri. 9-12 midnight back in fall 2021, but the odds I drew up this time for the summer weren't nearly as good. I lost an awful lot of imaginary play money! I didn't think there'd be nearly so many new and returning DJs. And J. Herweg is back! Yay!
	11:11pm JDM: found my password!
	11:12pm JDM: thank you for this amazing show. salut to all in chat my 2nd concert, big sis took me to see siouxsie and julian cope!
	11:12pm DanFA: What is this My Favorite gif from?
	11:12pm slugluv1313: @Keys_Made -- omg yes MONITOR! also Icon from Join Hands -- one of my favorites
	11:13pm Boulder Tom: I loved My Favorite. 90’s NYC
	11:14pm Keys_Made: Congrats JDM!
	11:14pm Keys_Made: saluté slugluv <3
	11:14pm Paulo AD: Ah shit, seems kellen is not on the summer schedule :( that's really sad
	11:15pm Keys_Made: gooood graavy thxxxx
	11:16pm Mona: keys made, the basic b in me honors the basic b in you...radiofreebronx, thank you for turning me onto my favorite! danfa: that's a young amanda lepore and other club kids on some talk show...maybe donahue? maury? geraldo? sally jessy rafael?
	11:16pm DanFA: One of the best albums ever.
	11:16pm Andres: Gold!!
	11:16pm Mona: paulo same...but kellen said he didn't want to be on the summer schedule...sad for us, but happy for him to have a break
	11:16pm mariano: Heya, slugs! Good to see you. Been listening as always, but in lurk mode because of work.
	11:17pm Keys_Made: basics STAND UP
	11:17pm Paulo AD: Mona, that's fair enough then. Nice for him to take a break. Have to readjust my ear flaps for the start of the week
	11:17pm northguineahills: I discovered Depeche Mode when a friend got a cassette of theirs the summer after the 4th grade, right before I moved to Japan....
	11:18pm Paulo AD: There is aad bar in Talin, Estonia that's dedicated to Depeche mode
	11:19pm slugluv1313: @Jason from Screwston -- you freaking rule, going to protest that &%# NRA crap
	11:19pm Paulo AD: Also went on the hansa studio tour in Berlin as part of the bowie tour, they mostly talked about Depeche mode haha
	11:20pm Paulo AD: I applied to radio row this week :)
	11:21pm mariano: Ooh, good luck, Paulo!
	11:21pm slugluv1313: hiya Paulo -- freaking awesome!!!
	11:21pm radiofreebronx: @Mona glad you dug My Favorite. Love them!
	11:21pm Ike: Was "Policy of Truth" hinting at "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" types of relationships long before that was a thing that (most) people talked about? Always struck as kinky for a popular early-90s song!
	11:22pm Jason from Screwston: Basic me checking in for Blasphemous Rumors. No pressure. Great songs, Mona. Thank you!
	11:22pm northguineahills: Polish?
	11:23pm slugluv1313: Czech?
	11:24pm northguineahills: @slugluv: that was my first guess, my I never go w/ my first guess...
	11:25pm Mona: ngh you are correct! 20 points
	11:25pm Jason from Screwston: Haha! Thanks, slugluv1313. I listened to some folks give speeches for a hot second and then just went and yelled at NRA people trying to get back to their cars and like, three dudes eating Chik-fil-a.
	11:25pm Mona: slugluv, your consolation prize is your siouxsie request
	11:26pm slugluv1313: thank you Mona!!! as always, Siouxsie WAY ahead of the times 🖤🖤🖤
	11:26pm Paulo AD: Thanks guys. I've also recorded a demo show as an audition for on of the streams :) your overnight is my day so it should work out haha
	11:26pm northguineahills: now, if I can add my 20 points to Ike's imaginary money, we'd have......????
	11:28pm Paulo AD: NGH in the words of danhausen, lots of human moneys
	11:30pm Jason from Screwston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	11:30pm northguineahills: funny thing, humans and their moneys.....
	11:30pm slugluv1313: sending Siouxsie love to Shelby G. 🖤🐈‍⬛💜🕸️🖤
	11:31pm Jason from Screwston: This song every single time.
	11:32pm Ike: This song sums it all up this week, doesn't it.
	11:32pm Stevel: Ike: You said a mouthful.
	11:32pm DanFA: Blasphemous Rumors Top of the Pops performance: www.youtube.com...
	11:33pm DanFA: @Ike, agreed
	11:33pm DanFA: @Ike, last two weeks/years also
	11:34pm slugluv1313: @Ike, DanFA -- agreed, yes, feels like forever
	11:36pm Boulder Tom: Stripped is a DM song I really love. There’s a new John McGeoch biography out called “The Light Pours out of Me”.
	11:36pm Aitch: teeny techno sounds from when I was still one
	11:37pm mizholden: Sex dwarf?
	11:39pm Derek: Hi Mona, Banshees -Supernatural Thing?
	11:39pm olo J. Milkman: The Lighthouse from siouxsie's collab with Hector Zazou
	11:41pm mizholden: Oh yes!
	11:42pm Jason from Screwston: Ohhhh shoot!!! Get on the floor, people...
	11:45pm radiofreebronx: Just busted out this on vinyl the other day. What a brilliant album.
	11:45pm Aitch: early 80's Sydney written all over this one
	11:47pm mizholden: Thank you!
	11:48pm Harry Corvair: Siouxsie, out there scatting and rapping. Best show, Mona.
	11:49pm radiofreebronx: Excellent set tonight as always @Mona. Thanks for a distraction from reality!!!
	11:49pm Derek: Thanks Mona !
	11:50pm Boulder Tom: Yep
	11:51pm Paulo AD: Right guys, I'm off to get frustrated for two hours :p have a great weekend ahead
	11:51pm TonyR: TY, Mona!!
	11:52pm Ike: More directly kinky than "Policy of Truth". I approve.
	11:52pm Ike: They could change it to "let me hear you make decisions/ without your phone" and it would still rhyme, and be apropos for our era.
	🥀 11:54pm Handy Haversack: Just home in time for the last few minutes. Thanks, Mona! Glad to get this much!
	11:54pm northguineahills: danks sew much mona, I needed this evening. have a fun evening, friends!
	🥀 11:54pm bloumejune: So glad I can join in via app during my drive tonight! I didn't want to miss tonight. I knew it would be a remembrance of Andy Fletcher. Thank you as always and have a good weekend Mona and listeners!
	11:54pm Stevel: For me, Siouxie really seemed to stick to her ethic, oeuvre, or what ever it is when you make the art you want by leveraging popular platforms. Never a clear line, but she seems to remain true to her earliest Bromley Contingent self (at least as much as would make sense.) You rock with requests, Mona!
	11:54pm DanFA: Another great show tonight, Mona.
	🥀 11:55pm Handy Haversack: Oh, damn, you played "Joey"! You have to hear K8's karaoke version!
	🥀 11:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Mona. Nice tribute and celebration.
	11:55pm DanFA: Is it basic if it's a great song, though?
	11:56pm Jason from Screwston: Thank you, Mona. You are the best. Cheers, radio buddies. Stay safe and sweeeeeeeeet. ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:56pm Boulder Tom: Thanks Mona. RIP Fletch
	11:57pm Mona: thank you guys for your awesome requests, sorry i didn't get to them all! always the highlight of my week to hang with you all!
	11:59pm river: thanks mona!!
	🥀 11:59pm bloumejune: Sweet ending
	12:00am slugluv1313: awesome show, Mona -- thanks so much for bringing brightness to us all!
	12:00am DanFA: @Mona, likewise. You rock!
