	9:05pm timinoak: MORE PLEASE MORE MORE. Already like I'm going to DL this show and re listen to it and I'm just 3 songs in.
	9:05pm TomDash: evenin', folks! Quick numbers this first set so I'll be a little busy! Summer jams...
	9:08pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Tom, Dashing listeners
	9:12pm timinoak: HELLO NICO. Your dad rocks.
	9:15pm ledzeppelinsucks: That's great
	9:16pm van chinski: This set has been awesome
	9:18pm northguineahills: prof fuzz: luckily o'er here, it's been raining 1"+ /day. usually w/in a span of an hour or two. Keeps the temp down.... (I might lose power, as there's another storm parked above).
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: Nico looks ready "c'mon whatcha got? bring it on!"
	9:20pm chresti: Hi Tom and dashing dotters!
	9:21pm Destroit: Hi chresti and tom and cheers to summer jams!
	9:21pm prof.fuzz: damn, NGH. we could use some of that rain up here.
	9:21pm chresti: Hi Nico and Destroit!
	9:22pm HyperDose: Mister Tom Dash 😍
	9:24pm northguineahills: @prof.fuzz: It's like that July-August, if it doesn't rain, it's 98F/37C or more... (The hottest temp I've seen here is 103F/39C, I don't remember the heat index...)
	9:26pm prof.fuzz: @NGH: where are you?
	9:28pm northguineahills: @Prof fuzz: orlando
	9:28pm luka: my goodness this track
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: 103f isn't hotter than upstate ny sometimes gets
	9:29pm coelacanth∅: i would've guessed orlando to get hotter than that
	9:30pm prof.fuzz: several years ago, we had 99 days in a row of 100+ temps, only to get an afternoon thunderstorm keep the temps sub-100 on day 100, breaking the streak. then we had a couple more weeks or so of 100+. brutal.
	9:32pm prof.fuzz: @NGH: oh, yeah. i remember those afternoon thunderstorms from when we lived in florida when I was a kid. hot day. afternoon downpour. then heated up again until sundown. fun times. i remember the dramatic lightning shows the most. flash boom!
	9:32pm northguineahills: when you have 60% relative humidity, a temp of 103F has a heat index approaching 150F/66C. Usually, when It gets above 100F, the air dries to about 40% relative humidity.
	9:32pm Barefootin’ 🌈along🌈: Everybody’s got the right to live <3 Sounding good Tom Dash Radio!!!
	9:33pm ultradamno: Not silent but definitely not too loud
	9:35pm northguineahills: nighttime storms are the best, it REALLY cools things down (74F/24C)
	9:36pm coelacanth∅: damn, p fuzz. a few years ago up here we had 6 weeks of 95->100ºf . that was extraordinary. but for the past 3-4 years it's been extraordinarily not summer-like. that past 2 years barely ever breaking 90f, which is bullshit. not even getting a summer, as far as i'm concerned.
	9:37pm northguineahills: takes notes where coel lives
	9:37pm luka: brilliant
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: ngh i'm getting the feeling you've forgotten the weather of your former residence! ...60% relative humidity would be welcome here, as opposed to the 80 we typically get
	9:38pm prof.fuzz: that streak was about 10 or 12 years back. then we got a few years with a good amount of rain. now we're a couple of years into hotter than normal weather again. add to that our power grid woes here in howdy arabia, and it's fun times all around.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ...maybe because orlando has much more wind than here?
	9:43pm ultradamno: This Mar-Keys cover is unrecognizable
	9:45pm Stevel: This is a hell of a set! I need to dig deeper into The Scientists.
	9:46pm ultradamno: Their earliest stuff is downright punk-pop
	9:46pm northguineahills: @coel: when the temperature gets above 100F, more then 60% relative becomes indistinguishable in the heat index, (essentially making such a measurement useless). W/o rain, it's usually 60-80% relative humidity, but w/ temps in the mid 90s. We do get sea breeze effect from both the Gulf and Atlantic... (like the current storm, both ocean breezes our clashing).
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: i did recognise that "last night", and now wonder if maybe the scientists' version is the only one i've heard. can't think of any other version
	9:51pm Robm: Nice jams tom
	9:55pm Piper from Toronto: I LIKE THIS
	9:56pm northguineahills: Duncan Park, new to me and digdug!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: ngh it seems to me the past few years we have barely gotten days over 90f. still feels hot - like you say...when the humidity's 80% it's uncomfortable. today was beautiful, maybe 83f, but very humid and it was a pleasure to have a stout in an air-conditioned bar.
	10:00pm David Watts: that was a cool song
	10:02pm TomDash: Duncan Park - South African musician...landed in my inbox this week - very cool stuff - ramblerecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:05pm TomDash: summer stoned set
	10:06pm David Watts: sweet
	10:07pm TomDash: @Stevel - The Scientists are great! Frantic Romantic is one of the great power-pop(ish) punk songs ever...then ai few years later until recent reunion they went full-on swamp rock, noise rock, Cramps etc...totally different sound and both great...
	10:08pm TDK60: Geez, those food prices are high these days. I about had a faint yesterday at the grocery store.
	10:10pm Stevel: TomDash: Stop stalking me (and THANK YOU...Man.) Liking Mr. Nance. Predict a minor WFMU hit of some sort.
	10:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Tom and Dashful listeners.
	10:12pm Stevel: Thanks to all for thoughts on The Scientists. Australia has done wonderful things to rock and roll.
	10:12pm TDK60: The Leaving Trains came thru my town. Then they left.
	10:13pm Stevel: TDK60: Just like them.
	10:14pm TDK60: Stevel= They really did play in my town. later '80s?
	10:16pm Stevel: Nice! Somewhere between REM and Beat Farmers?
	10:19pm pL: Your show is good
	10:20pm TDK60: sounds about right. rootsy post new wave rootsy folkrocky noise?
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: a girlfriend from oz turned me onto the scientists in the 90s; then Sue P, wfmu show host who by my estimation never once played anything i didn't like (see archives) called her show "solid gold hell", after the scientists song ... i'm pro-scientists
	10:26pm Dan from Delco: todd rundgren representing delco
	10:27pm TomDash: hey thanks @pL - glad ya dig! And thanks all for hanging this summer eve...having a blast
	10:29pm ultradamno: Leaving Trains came through my town, and complained and complained and complained, and then they left
	10:29pm chresti: Freaky folky?
	10:29pm Aitch: Keep forgetting you're back on Tom, was off in the streams
	10:30pm ultradamno: Single biggest crybaby I've ever seen fronting a band.
	10:32pm Aitch: saw Scientists support Birthday Party in 1983 I mentioned before I was 18 and it was terrifying
	10:35pm ultradamno: I saw Big Black set off a whole coil of firecrackers at No Bar, which was basically a small basement. That was legit scary...everyone ended up with black snot at the end of the night from the contained gunpowder cloud...
	10:35pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Hiya peoples. Sorry I'm late. TomDash!!!!!! As always, I'm loving the set.
	10:36pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wasn't Black Snot someone's album?
	10:37pm ultradamno: I think there was a band called Black Poop
	10:38pm Old Dave: no comment
	10:39pm Stevel: UD: The shows where I didn't get too close to the stage for photos, because, there were no rules. It was OK having your head on a swivel in the name of rock. Stimulating, even.
	10:42pm Stevel: Was Big Black as anti-social as Flipper? I have a great respect for that stuff.
	10:44pm pL: Flipper had soul
	10:44pm ultradamno: Not really. Fireworks aside. I saw them twice and they never really baited the audience like Flipper did, but the sonics were violent. But Albini seemed to like Muncie and No Bar..
	10:44pm Aitch: and fins
	10:48pm Stevel: Hello Aitch! Just wake up? Wish I'd seen Flipper (I'd see today's version.) Might have been out of my league at the time.
	10:49pm chresti: Black snot brand. Love this!
	10:49pm Stevel: Aitch: Just saw your concert memory. I'll bet!
	10:49pm ultradamno: I got lucky with Flipper, seeing them right before Will died. Same thing with Minutemen...
	10:49pm prof.fuzz: @pL: They sure did. Flipper rules ok!
	10:51pm TomDash: speaking of Flipper, y'all wanna hear from live Grateful Dead???
	10:51pm ultradamno: Flipper flier twitter.com... Some Flipper fliers from shows I wasn't at (though my art is on one of them) twitter.com...
	10:52pm Stevel: UD: Memorable moments? Your flier archive is the greatest thing I've ever known.
	10:52pm ultradamno: My Flipper shirt twitter.com...
	10:53pm Stevel: That shirt is hilarious! Also true, I'm certain.
	10:54pm ultradamno: Wendy from Manwich and I talked to Will and he admired her jacket, a red white and blue buckskin affair with fringe. She offered to let him try it on and he said that if he did he'd never take it off and then stumbled away. They were all very drunk.
	10:54pm Stevel: Tom Dash: You play whatever the fuck you want. I'm stoned, and can't be thrown by anything.
	10:54pm ultradamno: A tape from that show is on You Tube www.youtube.com...
	10:54pm b0b0b0b: Black Poop??? Smiling Feces sometimes don't tell the Truth
	10:55pm Stevel: UD: Is it awkward that I worship you? I will definitely watch that.
	10:57pm Stevel: Will Shatter sounds like an honest man.
	10:58pm prof.fuzz: Flipper were my absolute favorite band when I was in high school (grad 1983), and remain very high on the list to this day. We've covered three Flipper songs on our last two albums, and played halloween sets of fuzzed-up Flipper tunes the past couple of years. forever a huge flipper fan.
	10:59pm ultradamno: There's a part on the tape you can hear Lose offering the mike to some skater kids who had a habit of just yelling incoherently when offered one by the singer. Lose says "idiot, you don't know the words"
	11:04pm Stevel: Oooooh! Australia represents!
	11:04pm Stevel: I am already spinning in a hippie circle dance.
	11:06pm JimF: Saw them dozens of times, up til Will died. A thread in the basic fabric of my life back then. Coincidinkally was just looking at a recent interview with Ted last night: https://vimeo.com/713866478
	11:06pm HyperDose: Oh yeah, this one's gonna bring all the freaks out
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: You rang?
	11:08pm Aitch: I'd never heard any Flipper until WFMU. Not much West Coast punk made it down here. Not much Dead either which was OK by me...
	11:10pm Will a Sound Guy: Hi TomDash and all!!!
	11:12pm Aitch: Still no comma Will aSG?
	11:13pm TomDash: Hey Will, Aitch, Franco...alll you Dead Heads and Flipper Heads!
	11:14pm Will, a Sound Guy: I have to put it in each show I think?
	11:15pm prof.fuzz: @W,ASG: The judges would have also accepted a question mark...
	11:16pm Jon: Yo nice set
	11:17pm Will, a Sound Guy: I question the levels of the faders often...
	11:17pm Aitch: I can't stand the Dead myself, but in a very roundabout way they brought me to WFMU via Jeff Conklin so I suppose I must thank them in a way. Not in a listening to them way though. I'll need to play some Ween after to counteract the poison.
	11:17pm TroyD8: Love me some China/Rider!
	11:18pm Aitch: AC/DC's Let There Be Rock can also be used to quell deadness, but careful with that, strong mojo
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: i like the 'dead and i like flipper. %-wise i suppose flipper is far "ahead" of the dead though
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: I saw the Dead ONCE. I saw Ween ONCE. No one has ever asked me if I was a Ween head.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: ^ exactly
	11:20pm Aitch: No one plays endless Ween noodling either
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: i saw the b-52s 3 times. i must be a major '52s head.
	11:22pm ben & Reba: Hi from Pittsburgh
	11:23pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): jammerz!
	11:24pm chresti: I have seen neither live so I'm headless
	11:25pm Will, a Sound Guy: i hear ya chresti
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: that must be a relief!
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: that's better, Will. couldn't stop from thinking every time, "Will a sound guy, or won't a sound guy?"!
	11:29pm Franco Twinkie: I actually thrive on the smirking condescension that's aimed at me regarding my assumed uncritical infatuation with The Grateful Dead. But I will say this - for the time and place, they were peerless.
	11:31pm chresti: No smirking here as far as I can tell.
	11:31pm TomDash: Franco - I'm with ya!
	11:31pm Aitch: Trouble for us colonials Franco is they strongly represent a sensibility not shared here. It's very foreign. I don't dispute that that were staggeringly good at what they do, I just don't wan't that.
	11:33pm mb: Hey there TomDash and fam. I too have seen the Dead once and Ween once
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: Aitch, I'm a native Californian. Along with the dismissal/hatred/jealousy there is a lot of misunderstanding of what we are. The Grateful Dead is the apotheosis of that writ large.
	11:39pm TomDash: mb - I have seen The Dead, Ween AND Flipper!
	11:40pm ?: Never seen the dead or ween
	11:40pm McGroovey: I see lots of talk about Flipper, but no evidence that Flipper has actually been played.
	11:41pm Aitch: I read my Wolfe and my Kesey and my Hunter S Franco, so I can try and understand it from that kind of angle, but as I said, foreign to me. That's OK
	11:41pm TomDash: McGroovey - I've played them MANY times...in fact, back-to-back with The Dead! maybe next week? Still trying to figure out how to end this one!
	11:42pm prof.fuzz: @mcG: you just have to BELIEVE that FLIPPER has been played…
	11:42pm McGroovey: Yeah, I didn't mean that to sound rude, but it did. Sorry about that!
	11:43pm Franco Twinkie: If Sex bomb was the only song Flipper ever recorded, they still would get honorable mention for outstanding contribution to the culture at large.
	11:43pm Aitch: Now to have actually been there on the good gear would have been an entirely different matter..
	11:43pm TroyD8: I have seen the Dead, Flipper but sadly not Ween.
	11:43pm McGroovey: I actually have Brainwash running through my head as this bed music plays.
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: but please don't put much merit in that fanboy tom wolfe
	11:44pm Robm: @Mcgroovy look at the advance seach an see how often flipper gets played
	11:44pm McGroovey: I saw Ween once. I don't remember them very well. I remember enjoying them.
	11:46pm Aitch: a Burroughs / Dead collab might be interesting
	11:48pm McGroovey: I just got done watching TV with my wife and I was settling in to listen to the radddio, and I saw that the Dead and Flipper were lighting the comment board on fire, but that only the Dead had been played, which made me scratch me head, so I had to read the whole 2h40m of comments to figure it out.
	11:48pm chresti: A Dead off-shoot played at the Greek many years ago. The next morning their bus was in the parking lot at the tennis courts where I work. I had to remind them that there was no smoking.
	11:50pm Aitch: Flipper? No one you see is smarter than he
	11:51pm McGroovey: My fave Flipper song (and the first one I heard) was Brainwash. I was listening to WRPI (Troy, NY) one day, and and the DJ played a Fripp or maybe Fripp+Eno record and Brainwash simultaneously, and it was perfect. I already had the Fripp record, so I had to go buy the Sex Bomb 7" immediately.
	11:53pm McGroovey: We're taking a long car trip tomorrow, and now I want to add "Listen Now" to our car listening.
	11:53pm Will, a Sound Guy: Thank you TomDash!!!
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Where are you going McGroovey?
	11:54pm sufferwords: tasty licks 801
	11:55pm TomDash: Ok no Flipper - but who knows, maybe I'll start with it next week??????? Tune in to find out - thanks for hanging folks!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: brainwash was the first flipper i heard as well. on wfmu, early 80s. i recorded it onto cassette then, but didn't find out who it was until 1984, when someone else on wfmu (Paul Cavenaugh) played "ever" and i went and bought all the flipper i could find (which wasn't much)
	11:55pm prof.fuzz: Thanks Tom!
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Any playlist can sequence including G.G.Allin, Echo & the Bunnymen & the Dead - & much more - has to have something considerable going on ! ...Tho when the Dead sang like that it sometimes seems they had no monitors... They sure sound pretty on the 'American Beauty' album. Much as they were supposedly not a Studio band whatsoever.
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...&&& - some Can would seal the deal...
	11:57pm Aitch: The breadth of Tom's shows always amazing. Thanks for show TD
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tom!
	11:58pm McGroovey: Wikipedia says that Mick Jones of Foreigner is a current member of 801. That's weird, but it also makes sense, given the early association between King Crimson and Foreigner.
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Tom. You are a mix master extraordinaire.
	11:58pm egould: Thanks, TD!
	11:58pm HyperDose: Thanks Tom!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ TD ~
	11:59pm TomDash: ciao y'all! - til next week!

	9:05pm prof.fuzz: For those keeping score at home, we're down to 102 F at 8:00 PM tonight in Dallas.
	9:05pm timinoak: MORE PLEASE MORE MORE. Already like I'm going to DL this show and re listen to it and I'm just 3 songs in.
	9:05pm TomDash: evenin', folks! Quick numbers this first set so I'll be a little busy! Summer jams...
	9:08pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Tom, Dashing listeners
	9:12pm timinoak: HELLO NICO. Your dad rocks.
	9:15pm ledzeppelinsucks: That's great
	9:16pm van chinski: This set has been awesome
	9:18pm northguineahills: prof fuzz: luckily o'er here, it's been raining 1"+ /day. usually w/in a span of an hour or two. Keeps the temp down.... (I might lose power, as there's another storm parked above).
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: Nico looks ready "c'mon whatcha got? bring it on!"
	9:20pm chresti: Hi Tom and dashing dotters!
	9:21pm Destroit: Hi chresti and tom and cheers to summer jams!
	9:21pm prof.fuzz: damn, NGH. we could use some of that rain up here.
	9:21pm chresti: Hi Nico and Destroit!
	9:22pm HyperDose: Mister Tom Dash 😍
	9:24pm northguineahills: @prof.fuzz: It's like that July-August, if it doesn't rain, it's 98F/37C or more... (The hottest temp I've seen here is 103F/39C, I don't remember the heat index...)
	9:26pm prof.fuzz: @NGH: where are you?
	9:28pm northguineahills: @Prof fuzz: orlando
	9:28pm luka: my goodness this track
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: 103f isn't hotter than upstate ny sometimes gets
	9:29pm coelacanth∅: i would've guessed orlando to get hotter than that
	9:30pm prof.fuzz: several years ago, we had 99 days in a row of 100+ temps, only to get an afternoon thunderstorm keep the temps sub-100 on day 100, breaking the streak. then we had a couple more weeks or so of 100+. brutal.
	9:32pm prof.fuzz: @NGH: oh, yeah. i remember those afternoon thunderstorms from when we lived in florida when I was a kid. hot day. afternoon downpour. then heated up again until sundown. fun times. i remember the dramatic lightning shows the most. flash boom!
	9:32pm northguineahills: when you have 60% relative humidity, a temp of 103F has a heat index approaching 150F/66C. Usually, when It gets above 100F, the air dries to about 40% relative humidity.
	9:32pm Barefootin’ 🌈along🌈: Everybody’s got the right to live <3 Sounding good Tom Dash Radio!!!
	9:33pm ultradamno: Not silent but definitely not too loud
	9:35pm northguineahills: nighttime storms are the best, it REALLY cools things down (74F/24C)
	9:36pm coelacanth∅: damn, p fuzz. a few years ago up here we had 6 weeks of 95->100ºf . that was extraordinary. but for the past 3-4 years it's been extraordinarily not summer-like. that past 2 years barely ever breaking 90f, which is bullshit. not even getting a summer, as far as i'm concerned.
	9:37pm northguineahills: takes notes where coel lives
	9:37pm luka: brilliant
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: ngh i'm getting the feeling you've forgotten the weather of your former residence! ...60% relative humidity would be welcome here, as opposed to the 80 we typically get
	9:38pm prof.fuzz: that streak was about 10 or 12 years back. then we got a few years with a good amount of rain. now we're a couple of years into hotter than normal weather again. add to that our power grid woes here in howdy arabia, and it's fun times all around.
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ...maybe because orlando has much more wind than here?
	9:43pm ultradamno: This Mar-Keys cover is unrecognizable
	9:45pm Stevel: This is a hell of a set! I need to dig deeper into The Scientists.
	9:46pm ultradamno: Their earliest stuff is downright punk-pop
	9:46pm northguineahills: @coel: when the temperature gets above 100F, more then 60% relative becomes indistinguishable in the heat index, (essentially making such a measurement useless). W/o rain, it's usually 60-80% relative humidity, but w/ temps in the mid 90s. We do get sea breeze effect from both the Gulf and Atlantic... (like the current storm, both ocean breezes our clashing).
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: i did recognise that "last night", and now wonder if maybe the scientists' version is the only one i've heard. can't think of any other version
	9:51pm Robm: Nice jams tom
	9:55pm Piper from Toronto: I LIKE THIS
	9:56pm northguineahills: Duncan Park, new to me and digdug!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: ngh it seems to me the past few years we have barely gotten days over 90f. still feels hot - like you say...when the humidity's 80% it's uncomfortable. today was beautiful, maybe 83f, but very humid and it was a pleasure to have a stout in an air-conditioned bar.
	10:00pm David Watts: that was a cool song
	10:02pm TomDash: Duncan Park - South African musician...landed in my inbox this week - very cool stuff - ramblerecords.bandcamp.com...
	10:05pm TomDash: summer stoned set
	10:06pm David Watts: sweet
	10:07pm TomDash: @Stevel - The Scientists are great! Frantic Romantic is one of the great power-pop(ish) punk songs ever...then ai few years later until recent reunion they went full-on swamp rock, noise rock, Cramps etc...totally different sound and both great...
	10:08pm TDK60: Geez, those food prices are high these days. I about had a faint yesterday at the grocery store.
	10:10pm Stevel: TomDash: Stop stalking me (and THANK YOU...Man.) Liking Mr. Nance. Predict a minor WFMU hit of some sort.
	10:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Tom and Dashful listeners.
	10:12pm Stevel: Thanks to all for thoughts on The Scientists. Australia has done wonderful things to rock and roll.
	10:12pm TDK60: The Leaving Trains came thru my town. Then they left.
	10:13pm Stevel: TDK60: Just like them.
	10:14pm TDK60: Stevel= They really did play in my town. later '80s?
	10:16pm Stevel: Nice! Somewhere between REM and Beat Farmers?
	10:19pm pL: Your show is good
	10:20pm TDK60: sounds about right. rootsy post new wave rootsy folkrocky noise?
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: a girlfriend from oz turned me onto the scientists in the 90s; then Sue P, wfmu show host who by my estimation never once played anything i didn't like (see archives) called her show "solid gold hell", after the scientists song ... i'm pro-scientists
	10:26pm Dan from Delco: todd rundgren representing delco
	10:27pm TomDash: hey thanks @pL - glad ya dig! And thanks all for hanging this summer eve...having a blast
	10:29pm ultradamno: Leaving Trains came through my town, and complained and complained and complained, and then they left
	10:29pm chresti: Freaky folky?
	10:29pm Aitch: Keep forgetting you're back on Tom, was off in the streams
	10:30pm ultradamno: Single biggest crybaby I've ever seen fronting a band.
	10:32pm Aitch: saw Scientists support Birthday Party in 1983 I mentioned before I was 18 and it was terrifying
	10:35pm ultradamno: I saw Big Black set off a whole coil of firecrackers at No Bar, which was basically a small basement. That was legit scary...everyone ended up with black snot at the end of the night from the contained gunpowder cloud...
	10:35pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Hiya peoples. Sorry I'm late. TomDash!!!!!! As always, I'm loving the set.
	10:36pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Wasn't Black Snot someone's album?
	10:37pm ultradamno: I think there was a band called Black Poop
	10:38pm Old Dave: no comment
	10:39pm Stevel: UD: The shows where I didn't get too close to the stage for photos, because, there were no rules. It was OK having your head on a swivel in the name of rock. Stimulating, even.
	10:42pm Stevel: Was Big Black as anti-social as Flipper? I have a great respect for that stuff.
	10:44pm pL: Flipper had soul
	10:44pm ultradamno: Not really. Fireworks aside. I saw them twice and they never really baited the audience like Flipper did, but the sonics were violent. But Albini seemed to like Muncie and No Bar..
	10:44pm Aitch: and fins
	10:48pm Stevel: Hello Aitch! Just wake up? Wish I'd seen Flipper (I'd see today's version.) Might have been out of my league at the time.
	10:49pm chresti: Black snot brand. Love this!
	10:49pm Stevel: Aitch: Just saw your concert memory. I'll bet!
	10:49pm ultradamno: I got lucky with Flipper, seeing them right before Will died. Same thing with Minutemen...
	10:49pm prof.fuzz: @pL: They sure did. Flipper rules ok!
	10:51pm TomDash: speaking of Flipper, y'all wanna hear from live Grateful Dead???
	10:51pm ultradamno: Flipper flier twitter.com... Some Flipper fliers from shows I wasn't at (though my art is on one of them) twitter.com...
	10:52pm Stevel: UD: Memorable moments? Your flier archive is the greatest thing I've ever known.
	10:52pm ultradamno: My Flipper shirt twitter.com...
	10:53pm Stevel: That shirt is hilarious! Also true, I'm certain.
	10:54pm ultradamno: Wendy from Manwich and I talked to Will and he admired her jacket, a red white and blue buckskin affair with fringe. She offered to let him try it on and he said that if he did he'd never take it off and then stumbled away. They were all very drunk.
	10:54pm Stevel: Tom Dash: You play whatever the fuck you want. I'm stoned, and can't be thrown by anything.
	10:54pm ultradamno: A tape from that show is on You Tube www.youtube.com...
	10:54pm b0b0b0b: Black Poop??? Smiling Feces sometimes don't tell the Truth
	10:55pm Stevel: UD: Is it awkward that I worship you? I will definitely watch that.
	10:57pm Stevel: Will Shatter sounds like an honest man.
	10:58pm prof.fuzz: Flipper were my absolute favorite band when I was in high school (grad 1983), and remain very high on the list to this day. We've covered three Flipper songs on our last two albums, and played halloween sets of fuzzed-up Flipper tunes the past couple of years. forever a huge flipper fan.
	10:59pm ultradamno: There's a part on the tape you can hear Lose offering the mike to some skater kids who had a habit of just yelling incoherently when offered one by the singer. Lose says "idiot, you don't know the words"
	11:04pm Stevel: Oooooh! Australia represents!
	11:04pm Stevel: I am already spinning in a hippie circle dance.
	11:06pm JimF: Saw them dozens of times, up til Will died. A thread in the basic fabric of my life back then. Coincidinkally was just looking at a recent interview with Ted last night: https://vimeo.com/713866478
	11:06pm HyperDose: Oh yeah, this one's gonna bring all the freaks out
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: You rang?
	11:08pm Aitch: I'd never heard any Flipper until WFMU. Not much West Coast punk made it down here. Not much Dead either which was OK by me...
	11:10pm Will a Sound Guy: Hi TomDash and all!!!
	11:12pm Aitch: Still no comma Will aSG?
	11:13pm TomDash: Hey Will, Aitch, Franco...alll you Dead Heads and Flipper Heads!
	11:14pm Will, a Sound Guy: I have to put it in each show I think?
	11:15pm prof.fuzz: @W,ASG: The judges would have also accepted a question mark...
	11:16pm Jon: Yo nice set
	11:17pm Will, a Sound Guy: I question the levels of the faders often...
	11:17pm Aitch: I can't stand the Dead myself, but in a very roundabout way they brought me to WFMU via Jeff Conklin so I suppose I must thank them in a way. Not in a listening to them way though. I'll need to play some Ween after to counteract the poison.
	11:17pm TroyD8: Love me some China/Rider!
	11:18pm Aitch: AC/DC's Let There Be Rock can also be used to quell deadness, but careful with that, strong mojo
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: i like the 'dead and i like flipper. %-wise i suppose flipper is far "ahead" of the dead though
	11:20pm Franco Twinkie: I saw the Dead ONCE. I saw Ween ONCE. No one has ever asked me if I was a Ween head.
	11:20pm coelacanth∅: ^ exactly
	11:20pm Aitch: No one plays endless Ween noodling either
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: i saw the b-52s 3 times. i must be a major '52s head.
	11:22pm ben & Reba: Hi from Pittsburgh
	11:23pm Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): jammerz!
	11:24pm chresti: I have seen neither live so I'm headless
	11:25pm Will, a Sound Guy: i hear ya chresti
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: that must be a relief!
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: that's better, Will. couldn't stop from thinking every time, "Will a sound guy, or won't a sound guy?"!
	11:29pm Franco Twinkie: I actually thrive on the smirking condescension that's aimed at me regarding my assumed uncritical infatuation with The Grateful Dead. But I will say this - for the time and place, they were peerless.
	11:31pm chresti: No smirking here as far as I can tell.
	11:31pm TomDash: Franco - I'm with ya!
	11:31pm Aitch: Trouble for us colonials Franco is they strongly represent a sensibility not shared here. It's very foreign. I don't dispute that that were staggeringly good at what they do, I just don't wan't that.
	11:33pm mb: Hey there TomDash and fam. I too have seen the Dead once and Ween once
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: Aitch, I'm a native Californian. Along with the dismissal/hatred/jealousy there is a lot of misunderstanding of what we are. The Grateful Dead is the apotheosis of that writ large.
	11:39pm TomDash: mb - I have seen The Dead, Ween AND Flipper!
	11:40pm ?: Never seen the dead or ween
	11:40pm McGroovey: I see lots of talk about Flipper, but no evidence that Flipper has actually been played.
	11:41pm Aitch: I read my Wolfe and my Kesey and my Hunter S Franco, so I can try and understand it from that kind of angle, but as I said, foreign to me. That's OK
	11:41pm TomDash: McGroovey - I've played them MANY times...in fact, back-to-back with The Dead! maybe next week? Still trying to figure out how to end this one!
	11:42pm prof.fuzz: @mcG: you just have to BELIEVE that FLIPPER has been played…
	11:42pm McGroovey: Yeah, I didn't mean that to sound rude, but it did. Sorry about that!
	11:43pm Franco Twinkie: If Sex bomb was the only song Flipper ever recorded, they still would get honorable mention for outstanding contribution to the culture at large.
	11:43pm Aitch: Now to have actually been there on the good gear would have been an entirely different matter..
	11:43pm TroyD8: I have seen the Dead, Flipper but sadly not Ween.
	11:43pm McGroovey: I actually have Brainwash running through my head as this bed music plays.
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: but please don't put much merit in that fanboy tom wolfe
	11:44pm Robm: @Mcgroovy look at the advance seach an see how often flipper gets played
	11:44pm McGroovey: I saw Ween once. I don't remember them very well. I remember enjoying them.
	11:46pm Aitch: a Burroughs / Dead collab might be interesting
	11:48pm McGroovey: I just got done watching TV with my wife and I was settling in to listen to the radddio, and I saw that the Dead and Flipper were lighting the comment board on fire, but that only the Dead had been played, which made me scratch me head, so I had to read the whole 2h40m of comments to figure it out.
	11:48pm chresti: A Dead off-shoot played at the Greek many years ago. The next morning their bus was in the parking lot at the tennis courts where I work. I had to remind them that there was no smoking.
	11:50pm Aitch: Flipper? No one you see is smarter than he
	11:51pm McGroovey: My fave Flipper song (and the first one I heard) was Brainwash. I was listening to WRPI (Troy, NY) one day, and and the DJ played a Fripp or maybe Fripp+Eno record and Brainwash simultaneously, and it was perfect. I already had the Fripp record, so I had to go buy the Sex Bomb 7" immediately.
	11:53pm McGroovey: We're taking a long car trip tomorrow, and now I want to add "Listen Now" to our car listening.
	11:53pm Will, a Sound Guy: Thank you TomDash!!!
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Where are you going McGroovey?
	11:54pm sufferwords: tasty licks 801
	11:55pm TomDash: Ok no Flipper - but who knows, maybe I'll start with it next week??????? Tune in to find out - thanks for hanging folks!
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: brainwash was the first flipper i heard as well. on wfmu, early 80s. i recorded it onto cassette then, but didn't find out who it was until 1984, when someone else on wfmu (Paul Cavenaugh) played "ever" and i went and bought all the flipper i could find (which wasn't much)
	11:55pm prof.fuzz: Thanks Tom!
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Any playlist can sequence including G.G.Allin, Echo & the Bunnymen & the Dead - & much more - has to have something considerable going on ! ...Tho when the Dead sang like that it sometimes seems they had no monitors... They sure sound pretty on the 'American Beauty' album. Much as they were supposedly not a Studio band whatsoever.
	11:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...&&& - some Can would seal the deal...
	11:57pm Aitch: The breadth of Tom's shows always amazing. Thanks for show TD
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tom!
	11:58pm McGroovey: Wikipedia says that Mick Jones of Foreigner is a current member of 801. That's weird, but it also makes sense, given the early association between King Crimson and Foreigner.
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Tom. You are a mix master extraordinaire.
	11:58pm egould: Thanks, TD!
	11:58pm HyperDose: Thanks Tom!
	11:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ TD ~
	11:59pm TomDash: ciao y'all! - til next week!
