	9:03pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "First of May" by "Bee Gees" I like the song, but it was never clear to me why it was titled "First of May."
	9:04pm Dan S: Anyway, Happy May Day to all.
	9:06pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Dan S @9:03 Hi. Maybe this has some info — www.oldtimemusic.com...
	9:06pm Rick A: Good Evening Therese and All, We were in England for ten days, so I missed last week's show. I returned to work today, thus a little out of it. I'm happy to be hearing the show again. I'm not sure now long I will last.
	9:06pm katie: So lovely.
	9:07pm Rick A: ↳ Song: "Workers of the World" by "The Reds, Pinks & Purples" The groove on this song is irresistible. It has a Wedding Present vibe. The singer even sounds like David Gedge.
	9:08pm Dan S: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:06 Yes, thanks.
	9:10pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "First of May" by "Bee Gees" Greetings fellow nerds... Here's another First Of May song, but be warned: It's not suitable for terrestrial radio: www.youtube.com...
	9:15pm Karl: Sounding great!
	9:20pm Ochre Ogre: Hi Therese!
	9:21pm swivs: ↳ Song: "Over the Rainbow" by "The Ohio Players" I miss slow dancing. Hi everybody.

	9:35pm spodiodi: greetings, Therese! sounding great and hello to all
	9:37pm Various Julius: ↳ Song: "Follow Your Bliss" by "The B-52's" Awesome about getting #1
	9:37pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Dan S @9:35 Maybe someday I'll have a radio show called Music For Nerds. It will be a nutty mix of Broadway, nerd rock, and a cappella.
	9:37pm spodiodi: i got it in 3 today
	9:37pm Jay: Nice!!
	9:37pm Dan S: OK, Therese, this is from the link provided by Ken From Hyde Park: Could you elaborate on the significance of the title, “First of May”? The title “First of May” represents the start of spring and the hope and optimism it brings. In many cultures, May 1st is celebrated as a day of joy, renewal, and new beginnings. Through this song, the Bee Gees capture the essence of this special day and convey a message of hope and love.
	9:37pm spodiodi: nice one, Therese!
	9:38pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: That's awesome, Therese! I'm still waiting for "WFMU" to be accepted as a word in the Spelling Bee.
	9:39pm ironybread: For real fun, play the Camelot "Finale Ultimo" and segue directly into Negativland's "Guns (Now)". #RunBoy
	9:41pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Song: "Factory" by "Lucinda Williams" Oh, I need this album.
	9:43pm Dan S: ↳ nycmusicnerd @9:37 Sounds like a good music mix to me.
	9:43pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Loving the cuts, especially that Julie Andrews!
	9:47pm Dan S: Signing off now, and to all a good night.
	9:51pm Matt en Queens: Evening all! Great night tonight
	10:02pm Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: NICE!!! My favorite DJ!!! Love your set Therese!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
	10:04pm traven: R.I.P. Richard Tandy, ELO keyboardist.
	10:05pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: All I remember about Foundation is that the Mule is not who you think it is.
	10:09pm MJ: I was LITERALLY just about to ask you to play the original Britpop band, the Auteurs! THANK YOU
	10:09pm Stevel: TV Talk is a regular and welcome feature in my book.
	10:10pm Therese: ↳ MJ @10:09 Wait, whuuuttt?!
	10:11pm MJ: Yes! SO weird. Was thinking about Damon Albarn on the first 2 Britpop bands: "They never made it because the Auteurs weren't good-looking enough, and Suede's songs weren't good enough"
	10:12pm MJ: The British music press always said Luke Haines looked like "a geography [sometimes maths] teacher"
	10:32pm vermont: I have gotten more pleasure listening thru more SUEDE albums in their entirety than BLUR albums. Only know a few Auteur albums : new wave(?) & cowboy(?). Aren’t they abit punchier and edgier than those other Brit pop bands. As time has marched onward, I have dropped my ability to enjoy OASIS anymore.
	10:36pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ... you realize you bought that Stereolab album at a Florida shopping mall in 1995...
	10:36pm DanFA: Therese singing Stevie Nicks songs is the best!
	10:36pm lavrami: Sing It Therese!!!!
	10:36pm Greg: I’m glad we went there, Therese
	10:37pm MJ: The Wonder Years aired from 1988 and 1993 and depicted the years between 1968 and 1973. When I watched the show, it felt like it was set in a time long ago. If a new Wonder Years premiered today, it would cover the years between 2004 and 2009.
	10:37pm nycmusicnerd: Ok Therese, Landslide has to be your next Hoof and Mouth song.
	10:37pm DanFA: ↳ MJ @10:37 Absolutely nothing happened during those years. Would make for a boring show.
	10:38pm MJ: Remember when Jurassic Park, The Lion King, and Forrest Gump came out in theaters? Closer to the moon landing (1969) than to today.
	10:38pm DanFA: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:37 Hell yes!
	10:38pm walkspot: Stay strong Therese!
	10:39pm Greg: Therese rocks, this is known!
	10:39pm DanFA: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:37 Did you know, sir, that Marcie has been claimed as Asian American by Asian American readers?
	10:39pm laurapanic: Hi ,I"d like to say that Bob Barth's One Night Stand is one of the most amazingly curated, prepared and executed shows around. The WORK! The photography that accompanies the playlist! Bob is amazing, I want more peopple to hear his show.
	10:40pm vermont: what years did My So Called Life cover / represent?
	10:41pm MJ: ↳ vermont @10:40 94-95
	10:42pm Kat in the chat: I saw bands at Mercury Lounge thirty years ago too. And I played “French Disko” from Refried Ectoplasm in the basement of Lucky Cheng’s on 1st Avenue, where I was an occasional DJ and coat checker, around the same time. These are good things to be reminded of.
	10:45pm Roberto: I think they meant to say "Why Do We Listen Only to Dead People."
	10:45pm Roberto: Yas Charlie!
	10:45pm Greg: Thanks for the rec Laurapanic
	10:46pm MJ: Charlie Lewis Can't Lose
	10:47pm prof.fuzz: howdy therese!
	10:47pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ DanFA @10:39 No, I didn't. That's interesting.
	10:48pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:39 Bob Barth's One Night Stand is great for people who either love the "variety show" genre from TV (its like a variety show but on radio), enjoy a range of the arts, including theatre, or just love to hear passion and learn new things. His rock show reviews are great. As a broadcaster and writer, he is top notch. And he sings a mean opening track VERY TIME.
	10:48pm laurapanic: ↳ Greg @10:45 no probs, Greg!
	10:48pm DanFA: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:47 The Stuff You Should Know podcast did a 2 parter on Peanuts and an Asian American listener wrote in saying that much.
	10:49pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ MJ @10:37 I remember the creators of the Wonder Years saying they wanted to end the show before it got to the disco era, because of course who would ever want to hear any songs from that period.
	10:50pm DanFA: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @10:49 Must really suck to find out years later that disco and disco-influenced music beat rock music.
	10:51pm Roberto: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @10:49 Wonder Years would now take place in the mid-aughts.
	10:51pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:51 Not so wonder-ful.
	10:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Did WFMU at any time air a disco show?
	10:53pm DanFA: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:52 I think Sound and Safe with Trent might count.
	10:53pm MJ: There's loads of good disco and disco-infuenced music, and loads of really awful rock
	10:55pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:52 Evan Funk Davies does an all disco show once a year.
	10:55pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ Roberto @10:51 Winnie would be a big fan of blog rock.
	10:55pm Kat in the chat: EFD does such a good disco show, but only once a year :(
	10:55pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ laurapanic @10:48 Definitely gonna give Bob's show a roll. Thanks for the tip.
	10:56pm Therese: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:55 Yes, EFD's annual Hot August Night program!
	10:57pm Therese: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @10:55 Bob is a Good Dude. Tell him I sent you.
	10:58pm Kat in the chat: Jinx nycmusicnerd! Also, I knew what that First of May song was before I clicked on it to confirm. Today would have been a good day for that sort of activity.
	10:59pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:55 hiya NYCMN!
	10:59pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:58 A fellow JoCo fan. How about that... Yes, today would have been a good day for it. If only I had someone to join me.
	11:01pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:59 FuZZZZ! Idk about your Brooklyn gig, but the Hoboken gig looks promising.
	11:01pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ Song: "Untame the Tiger" by "Mary Timony" Best album of 2024?
	11:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bob Barth has been calling Marty McSorley's dedication line lately. Usually on his way to a show or other shenanigans.
	11:02pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:01 did anyone mention that the hoboken show is FREE???
	11:07pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Song: "Your Favorite Song" by "Caleb Landry Jones" This could be soundtrack for next Bond movie.
	11:07pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:02 Oh shit... now I have to go. 😏
	11:08pm MJ: ↳ Song: "Thing" by "The Glorious Vapors" Buckner vibes
	11:10pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Therese @10:57 Will do.
	11:10pm vermont: ↳ MJ @10:38 …that’s more than a head spinner -yikes.
	11:13pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Song: "Willie" by "Adjustable Mustard" Female Neil Young vibe
	11:15pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Song: "Working Class Hero" by "Cat Power & Iggy Pop" Worked on a Marianne show back in the 80's at The Ritz. She was special.
	11:15pm Harry Corvair: Oh hell yes here for this!’ Working Class Hero by Cat Power & Iggy Pop (The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull)
	11:25pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Song: "Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)" by "The Pixies" Mermaid kisses. They either mean your eternal demise. Or you live to remember them with the fondest of reverence.
	11:27pm vermont: ↳ Song: "Thing" by "The Glorious Vapors" what abt The Vapors (minus the glorious)? One never hears dem one hit wonders anymore. the “hit” aside, kinda dug the entire albums. guess I’m sitting on an island🏝️with this one.
	11:27pm I.M.Pufnstuff: What an amazing set Therese! FIVE STARS!
	11:28pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Did anyone else's stream just die?
	11:29pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @11:28 Yeah mine died on all three streams....oddball
	11:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @11:28 Yep ... VLC kind of restarted the stream on its own.
	11:29pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Yes, stream problems. The Ghost in the Machines.
	11:30pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:29 The popup player, mplayer, Woof Moo have all bit the dust, distressingly
	11:30pm dan in wisconsin: Had VLC go down and then the pop-up was down for 435 seconds.
	11:30pm dan in wisconsin: *35 seconds rather
	11:30pm PMD: Oh I thought it was just me!
	11:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: I can hear you now, Therese. The stream just glitched momentarily.
	11:31pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: I'm listening on an Amazon product and it keeps dropping off.
	11:31pm I.M.Pufnstuff: The wave of mutilation mutilated the ones and zeroes....
	11:32pm vermont: via iPhone, Popped off then rebooted immediately. No issues since.
	11:32pm WoodsOfMaine: I'm on WoofMoo and have had no problems
	11:32pm DanFA: Stream is back
	11:32pm I.M.Pufnstuff: I've got a direct feed off of a fiber optic connection to a dedicated streaming device and it crapped out. But we seem to be back up.
	11:33pm Paulo AD: Morning all. My stream keeps cutting out, just need to stop and start the stream
	11:33pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Of course as I typed this in the stream dropped...urgh....
	11:33pm PMD: out again!
	11:33pm Therese: Thanks for your updates everyone- we've reported the issue and hopefully it will be resolved soon!
	11:35pm vermont: ↳ Song: "OV Stars" by "OV Stars" this literally sounds/feels as if it’s playing at half speed … huh 🤔
	11:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Indigestion from too many sandwiches?
	11:36pm WoodsOfMaine: Maybe Ken has insomnia and is just clicking random buttons for fun and amusement
	11:37pm JoeP: Stream out again, Sunday night it was so bad I gave up for a while...
	11:38pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Pushin' Against a Stone" by "Valerie June" Dang, I love her voice
	11:40pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:36 I blame Andy. Just because.
	11:40pm dan in wisconsin: I'm surprised no one played Mayday by the Lost Patrol today.
	11:41pm Therese: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @11:40 I mean, when in doubt...
	11:41pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @11:40 Hey, why not?!
	11:43pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Let's take it further. For every second the stream is down, Andy should give WFMU $5 of his MONK money. Then no worries about fund raising next year!
	11:47pm vermont: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @11:15 Marianne Faithfull fans: take note of a really worthwhile short film viewing that she narrates in her inimitable way! “WILD SUMMON”/(wild salmon)=14min gem of eco-animated uniqueness! I swear the salmon/human hybrid is based on her wonderful visage. It just missed out as one of the 5 Oscar noms for animated shorts, yet I deem it more worthy than most.
	11:53pm vermont: Hah! - on purpose? 😉 I love this long haul experiential station. 🚉
	11:55pm dave: Thanks Therese!
	11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Therese. May you enjoy the upcoming month!
	11:57pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Thanks for the great spicy radio sausage tonight Therese. Blessings.
	11:58pm prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile: What kind of dummy releases a record without indicating the speed somewhere on the label??? <slowly raises hand…> We’re guilty.
	11:59pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Thanks, Therese and all!
	11:59pm vermont: I have an ongoing allergy to crash test dummies & slow energy vocals. I try & try to enjoy 69 Love Songs but struggle to push aside other vocal influences. Yet appreciate his lyrics & music. (btw: no issues at all with anything by Leo Cohen).
	11:59pm dan in wisconsin: Thank you!
	1:07pm Robin: Hearing Everybody Knows, I half-remembered this song with a similar instrumental part. It bothered me all night but came to me right as I fell asleep: Don't Call by Desire: https://youtu.be/dJqhUbHEpGM?si=TEZjUwOyoaPNR2-_Love the show as always!

	10:05pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: All I remember about Foundation is that the Mule is not who you think it is.
	10:09pm MJ: I was LITERALLY just about to ask you to play the original Britpop band, the Auteurs! THANK YOU
	10:09pm Stevel: TV Talk is a regular and welcome feature in my book.
	10:10pm Therese: ↳ MJ @10:09 Wait, whuuuttt?!
	10:11pm MJ: Yes! SO weird. Was thinking about Damon Albarn on the first 2 Britpop bands: "They never made it because the Auteurs weren't good-looking enough, and Suede's songs weren't good enough"
	10:12pm MJ: The British music press always said Luke Haines looked like "a geography [sometimes maths] teacher"
	10:32pm vermont: I have gotten more pleasure listening thru more SUEDE albums in their entirety than BLUR albums. Only know a few Auteur albums : new wave(?) & cowboy(?). Aren’t they abit punchier and edgier than those other Brit pop bands. As time has marched onward, I have dropped my ability to enjoy OASIS anymore.
	10:36pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ... you realize you bought that Stereolab album at a Florida shopping mall in 1995...
	10:36pm DanFA: Therese singing Stevie Nicks songs is the best!
	10:36pm lavrami: Sing It Therese!!!!
	10:36pm Greg: I’m glad we went there, Therese
	10:37pm MJ: The Wonder Years aired from 1988 and 1993 and depicted the years between 1968 and 1973. When I watched the show, it felt like it was set in a time long ago. If a new Wonder Years premiered today, it would cover the years between 2004 and 2009.
	10:37pm nycmusicnerd: Ok Therese, Landslide has to be your next Hoof and Mouth song.
	10:37pm DanFA: ↳ MJ @10:37 Absolutely nothing happened during those years. Would make for a boring show.
	10:38pm MJ: Remember when Jurassic Park, The Lion King, and Forrest Gump came out in theaters? Closer to the moon landing (1969) than to today.
	10:38pm DanFA: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:37 Hell yes!
	10:38pm walkspot: Stay strong Therese!
	10:39pm Greg: Therese rocks, this is known!
	10:39pm DanFA: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:37 Did you know, sir, that Marcie has been claimed as Asian American by Asian American readers?
	10:39pm laurapanic: Hi ,I"d like to say that Bob Barth's One Night Stand is one of the most amazingly curated, prepared and executed shows around. The WORK! The photography that accompanies the playlist! Bob is amazing, I want more peopple to hear his show.
	10:40pm vermont: what years did My So Called Life cover / represent?
	10:41pm MJ: ↳ vermont @10:40 94-95
	10:42pm Kat in the chat: I saw bands at Mercury Lounge thirty years ago too. And I played “French Disko” from Refried Ectoplasm in the basement of Lucky Cheng’s on 1st Avenue, where I was an occasional DJ and coat checker, around the same time. These are good things to be reminded of.
	10:45pm Roberto: I think they meant to say "Why Do We Listen Only to Dead People."
	10:45pm Roberto: Yas Charlie!
	10:45pm Greg: Thanks for the rec Laurapanic
	10:46pm MJ: Charlie Lewis Can't Lose
	10:47pm prof.fuzz: howdy therese!
	10:47pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ DanFA @10:39 No, I didn't. That's interesting.
	10:48pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:39 Bob Barth's One Night Stand is great for people who either love the "variety show" genre from TV (its like a variety show but on radio), enjoy a range of the arts, including theatre, or just love to hear passion and learn new things. His rock show reviews are great. As a broadcaster and writer, he is top notch. And he sings a mean opening track VERY TIME.
	10:48pm laurapanic: ↳ Greg @10:45 no probs, Greg!
	10:48pm DanFA: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:47 The Stuff You Should Know podcast did a 2 parter on Peanuts and an Asian American listener wrote in saying that much.
	10:49pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ MJ @10:37 I remember the creators of the Wonder Years saying they wanted to end the show before it got to the disco era, because of course who would ever want to hear any songs from that period.
	10:50pm DanFA: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @10:49 Must really suck to find out years later that disco and disco-influenced music beat rock music.
	10:51pm Roberto: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @10:49 Wonder Years would now take place in the mid-aughts.
	10:51pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:51 Not so wonder-ful.
	10:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: Did WFMU at any time air a disco show?
	10:53pm DanFA: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:52 I think Sound and Safe with Trent might count.
	10:53pm MJ: There's loads of good disco and disco-infuenced music, and loads of really awful rock
	10:55pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:52 Evan Funk Davies does an all disco show once a year.
	10:55pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ Roberto @10:51 Winnie would be a big fan of blog rock.
	10:55pm Kat in the chat: EFD does such a good disco show, but only once a year :(
	10:55pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ laurapanic @10:48 Definitely gonna give Bob's show a roll. Thanks for the tip.
	10:56pm Therese: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:55 Yes, EFD's annual Hot August Night program!
	10:57pm Therese: ↳ Chris in Kensington Bklyn @10:55 Bob is a Good Dude. Tell him I sent you.
	10:58pm Kat in the chat: Jinx nycmusicnerd! Also, I knew what that First of May song was before I clicked on it to confirm. Today would have been a good day for that sort of activity.
	10:59pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @10:55 hiya NYCMN!
	10:59pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:58 A fellow JoCo fan. How about that... Yes, today would have been a good day for it. If only I had someone to join me.
	11:01pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:59 FuZZZZ! Idk about your Brooklyn gig, but the Hoboken gig looks promising.
	11:01pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ Song: "Untame the Tiger" by "Mary Timony" Best album of 2024?
	11:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: Bob Barth has been calling Marty McSorley's dedication line lately. Usually on his way to a show or other shenanigans.
	11:02pm prof.fuzz: ↳ nycmusicnerd @11:01 did anyone mention that the hoboken show is FREE???
	11:07pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Song: "Your Favorite Song" by "Caleb Landry Jones" This could be soundtrack for next Bond movie.
	11:07pm nycmusicnerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:02 Oh shit... now I have to go. 😏
	11:08pm MJ: ↳ Song: "Thing" by "The Glorious Vapors" Buckner vibes
	11:10pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Therese @10:57 Will do.
	11:10pm vermont: ↳ MJ @10:38 …that’s more than a head spinner -yikes.
	11:13pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Song: "Willie" by "Adjustable Mustard" Female Neil Young vibe
	11:15pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ Song: "Working Class Hero" by "Cat Power & Iggy Pop" Worked on a Marianne show back in the 80's at The Ritz. She was special.
	11:15pm Harry Corvair: Oh hell yes here for this!’ Working Class Hero by Cat Power & Iggy Pop (The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull)
	11:25pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Song: "Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)" by "The Pixies" Mermaid kisses. They either mean your eternal demise. Or you live to remember them with the fondest of reverence.
	11:27pm vermont: ↳ Song: "Thing" by "The Glorious Vapors" what abt The Vapors (minus the glorious)? One never hears dem one hit wonders anymore. the “hit” aside, kinda dug the entire albums. guess I’m sitting on an island🏝️with this one.
	11:27pm I.M.Pufnstuff: What an amazing set Therese! FIVE STARS!
	11:28pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Did anyone else's stream just die?
	11:29pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @11:28 Yeah mine died on all three streams....oddball
	11:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Bob in DC and/or Virginia @11:28 Yep ... VLC kind of restarted the stream on its own.
	11:29pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Yes, stream problems. The Ghost in the Machines.
	11:30pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:29 The popup player, mplayer, Woof Moo have all bit the dust, distressingly
	11:30pm dan in wisconsin: Had VLC go down and then the pop-up was down for 435 seconds.
	11:30pm dan in wisconsin: *35 seconds rather
	11:30pm PMD: Oh I thought it was just me!
	11:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: I can hear you now, Therese. The stream just glitched momentarily.
	11:31pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: I'm listening on an Amazon product and it keeps dropping off.
	11:31pm I.M.Pufnstuff: The wave of mutilation mutilated the ones and zeroes....
	11:32pm vermont: via iPhone, Popped off then rebooted immediately. No issues since.
	11:32pm WoodsOfMaine: I'm on WoofMoo and have had no problems
	11:32pm DanFA: Stream is back
	11:32pm I.M.Pufnstuff: I've got a direct feed off of a fiber optic connection to a dedicated streaming device and it crapped out. But we seem to be back up.
	11:33pm Paulo AD: Morning all. My stream keeps cutting out, just need to stop and start the stream
	11:33pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Of course as I typed this in the stream dropped...urgh....
	11:33pm PMD: out again!
	11:33pm Therese: Thanks for your updates everyone- we've reported the issue and hopefully it will be resolved soon!
	11:35pm vermont: ↳ Song: "OV Stars" by "OV Stars" this literally sounds/feels as if it’s playing at half speed … huh 🤔
	11:35pm Ken From Hyde Park: Indigestion from too many sandwiches?
	11:36pm WoodsOfMaine: Maybe Ken has insomnia and is just clicking random buttons for fun and amusement
	11:37pm JoeP: Stream out again, Sunday night it was so bad I gave up for a while...
	11:38pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Pushin' Against a Stone" by "Valerie June" Dang, I love her voice
	11:40pm I.M.Pufnstuff: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:36 I blame Andy. Just because.
	11:40pm dan in wisconsin: I'm surprised no one played Mayday by the Lost Patrol today.
	11:41pm Therese: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @11:40 I mean, when in doubt...
	11:41pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @11:40 Hey, why not?!
	11:43pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Let's take it further. For every second the stream is down, Andy should give WFMU $5 of his MONK money. Then no worries about fund raising next year!
	11:47pm vermont: ↳ I.M.Pufnstuff @11:15 Marianne Faithfull fans: take note of a really worthwhile short film viewing that she narrates in her inimitable way! “WILD SUMMON”/(wild salmon)=14min gem of eco-animated uniqueness! I swear the salmon/human hybrid is based on her wonderful visage. It just missed out as one of the 5 Oscar noms for animated shorts, yet I deem it more worthy than most.
	11:53pm vermont: Hah! - on purpose? 😉 I love this long haul experiential station. 🚉
	11:55pm dave: Thanks Therese!
	11:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Therese. May you enjoy the upcoming month!
	11:57pm I.M.Pufnstuff: Thanks for the great spicy radio sausage tonight Therese. Blessings.
	11:58pm prof.fuzz in the fuZZZmobile: What kind of dummy releases a record without indicating the speed somewhere on the label??? <slowly raises hand…> We’re guilty.
	11:59pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Thanks, Therese and all!
	11:59pm vermont: I have an ongoing allergy to crash test dummies & slow energy vocals. I try & try to enjoy 69 Love Songs but struggle to push aside other vocal influences. Yet appreciate his lyrics & music. (btw: no issues at all with anything by Leo Cohen).
	11:59pm dan in wisconsin: Thank you!
	1:07pm Robin: Hearing Everybody Knows, I half-remembered this song with a similar instrumental part. It bothered me all night but came to me right as I fell asleep: Don't Call by Desire: https://youtu.be/dJqhUbHEpGM?si=TEZjUwOyoaPNR2-_Love the show as always!
