	7:07pm Maulydaft: A lurker, I really really love this show!!!
	🇰🇷 7:08pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Stayin’ Alive" by "Machuca Cumbia" Yay cumbia!
	7:08pm Gary: Howdy, Mackeral and Maulydaft!
	7:08pm Maulydaft: ↳ chresti @7:08 It was so good! I don't even like the original! :D
	🇰🇷 7:08pm Alex from Media: Happy 11th! Hope you have a good barrel aged imperial stout going. Tastes like a beer, but drinks like a bottle of whiskey.
	7:09pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:08 I love barrel aged beer, but I've got a 4-pack of Threes Brewing's Vliet by my side here for the evening
	7:10pm Michael 98145: sans problèmes hellos
	🇰🇷 7:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:09 Pilsener is a good choice for people who need to stay awake for three hours.
	7:11pm wimpy: Happy 11 years! Been looking forward to this show all day once I saw it was gonna be an international disco party
	7:11pm Gary: Michael and Wimpy, Howdy!
	7:12pm wimpy: Oh also, I’ve been listening to that farid al atrache album you recommended and the 20 minute oud solo that closes the album is incredible! Thanks for the tip
	7:12pm Gary: ↳ wimpy @7:12 Oh, right! Yeah, it's one of the greatest tracks of all time, imho
	🇰🇷 7:18pm Alex from Media: Question for the whole chat. Are there any alternatives to meta platforms that are better for music sharing? Any that WFMU might endorse?
	🇰🇷 7:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Toey Disco" by "Soonthorn Chairungreuang" ...I ain't dancey, but this is hella kewl...
	7:20pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:18 When you say music sharing do you mean like a music blog situation? Or do you mean more like social media, sharing YouTube videos or sound clips? Or ...
	7:20pm Gary: Howdy, RevRab!
	7:21pm Michael 98145: Happy to be here - usually only via the Archives
	🇰🇷 7:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:20 Social media for now as I'm not going to only do music. I've been pestering my family with you tube music videos, but maybe there's a better way...
	7:22pm wimpy: I’m a big fan of rateyourmusic, although the user base tends to be mostly teenagers
	7:24pm northguineahills: gary! bodegaites!
	7:24pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:22 I do almost nothing on social media but post photos of me spinning LPs and 45s and cassettes: Twitter, Instagram, BlueSky
	7:24pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @7:24 NGH, Howdy!
	🇰🇷 7:25pm Alex from Media: ↳ wimpy @7:22 bookmarked for investigation, thanks
	7:28pm slugluv1313: good evening, Gary! Bodega Cats! and kittens and puppies and coyotes 🐱🐶🐺
	🇰🇷 7:29pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:24 If you look super sexy doing it then that's plenty.
	7:29pm Gary: Slugluv, howdy!
	7:29pm wimpy: The actual main experience of the website, ie rating music and reading reviews is great, and the users make lists that can be great for discovering music. The forums are pretty lame but it’s pretty easy to never step foot in them. The website does have a good amount of blind spots though and I’ve noticed WFMU djs play loads of stuff that’s never been rated on there
	7:30pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Stayin’ Alive" by "Machuca Cumbia" LOVE THIS! gotta check out the b-side too
	7:32pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:29 All you ever see of me is my ancient age-ravaged hands gripping the physical media for dear life
	7:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Like It (Don't Stop)" by "Maxwell Udoh" slight 'sexual healing' quotation
	🇰🇷 7:33pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:32 ooh I hear that now.
	7:33pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:33 Esp. the "wake up wake up wake up get up get up get up" haha
	7:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:33 yes
	🇰🇷 7:34pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:33 What a give away.
	7:36pm mic_a: Hello Gary and Bo Peeps! Happy 11!
	7:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Liza...Liza" by "Elias Rahbani and His Orchestra" nice.... shades of boney m
	7:37pm Gary: Howdy, mic_a!
	7:38pm Michael 98145: No social media since Usenet groups -- so i hang out here ...
	7:38pm Gary: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:38 Wise man
	7:38pm mic_a: This week, I have seen people recommend Soundcloud and Mixcloud, but I have no idea if that's right or wrong.
	🇰🇷 7:38pm Alex from Media: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:38 Perhaps the saner path.
	7:40pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @7:38 Soundclound's nice, but not a super social media-type experience. I'm on it but no longer active, but I do definitely still find pretty great music there now and then
	🇰🇷 7:43pm Alex from Media: ↳ mic_a @7:38 I'm also evaluating my life choices in the music streaming service area. Is bandcamp a good music streaming service for assmbling your own playlist AND sorting/searching your music?
	7:43pm mic_a: Mind you, "not a social media type experience" would be a plus to me, but perhaps not for Alex. Oh! This track kills already!
	7:43pm mzmm: hello
	🇰🇷 7:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ mic_a @7:43 Not necessarily a zero sum question. I may select several options for different purposes.
	7:45pm Gary: Howdy, Mzmm!
	7:46pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:43 Bandcamp is pretty terrific. I can't compare it to other streaming services like Spotify etc. b/c I don't have those
	7:47pm Quinn02: Woah, I just played that Liza Liza track in my car about five minutes ago after hearing someone play it on the holiday party
	7:47pm mic_a: I'm not really one to say on Bandcamp as a listening experience. I mainly just listen to 'FMU -- so I don't have to go through the horrifying experience of choosing things for myself!
	7:48pm Gary: Quinn, howdy!
	7:49pm Quinn02: Hello Gary
	7:49pm Michael 98145: IMHO, the Drummer Stream is one of the best listening booths ever
	7:49pm mackeral: I use bandcamp bc my understanding at least is that that's the route that delivers the most dough to the artists. I also use it to follow artists and labels, for new releases. I set up an email filter. You can download FLAC. Artists and labels can allow limited or unlimited free listening on a per-release basis
	7:50pm mackeral: there's not really a "social" aspect to it, which is a plus
	7:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ mackeral @7:49 second that
	7:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Created Disco" by "Calvin Harris" a banger... reminds me of gang gang dance
	7:56pm rw: Good evening!
	7:57pm Gary: RW, howdy!
	7:57pm mic_a: Avoiding choosing for myself -- I should add that that only works if I trust the choosers -- fave 'FMU Djs, yes. Algorithm services -- go burn in AI Hell.
	🇰🇷 7:57pm Alex from Media: ↳ mackeral @7:49 seems to be the music streaming service of choice at FMU for that reason
	🇰🇷 7:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ mic_a @7:57 Spotify is on my very very naughty list.
	8:00pm mackeral: ↳ Alex from Media @7:59 yup
	🇰🇷 8:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Campus Bell Tone 校園的鈴聲" by "Gao Ling Feng 高凌風" Its got the ring my beel thing why not on campus?
	8:05pm Michael 98145: ring my bell
	8:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Campus Bell Tone 校園的鈴聲" by "Gao Ling Feng 高凌風" that was closer to the blood sisters version than the original....
	8:09pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:07 I'm so very glad I found that version because if I played that Blood Sisters version yet again I am afraid someone would have definitely tackled me and shut off my internet access
	8:11pm Michael 98145: Fun show today
	8:18pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Sexy Robot セクシィ・ロボット" by "Hitomi "Penny" Tohyama ... even AI tunes
	🇰🇷 8:20pm Alex from Media: A confession: A lot of times I'll pick up foreign language stuff as funny tongue in cheek music. Only to later realize how great it actually is.
	8:20pm mic_a: Philly soul via Eastern Bloc? Nice.
	8:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sexy Robot セクシィ・ロボット" by "Hitomi "Penny" Tohyama ... i know i've faved sexy robot before, maybe it lacked the hiragana formatting...
	8:26pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:21 Try WFMU's Advanced Search: wfmu.org...
	8:28pm Malcontent: Sounding great tonight Gary, thank you!
	8:29pm Gary: Howdy, Malcontent!
	8:33pm tom tom the pipers son: of course charanjit singh...i bow
	8:34pm peter: intrigued by "Campus Bell Tone", I looked up the lyrics. Here's Google Translate's take on them: There are bells ringing in the distance. Ding-dong, ding-dong. They float gently through my lonely heart. They are so familiar and kind. They remind me of my old friends. They have been in my dreams. They are the bells in my childhood school. Who can forget the friendship in school? There are bells ringing in the distance. Ding-dong, ding-dong. They float gently through my lonely heart. They are so familiar and kind. They remind me of my old friends. They have been in my dreams. They are the bells in my childhood school. Who can forget the friendship in school? I still remember the laughter in the bells. I still remember the dreams in school. They are the bells in my childhood school. Who can forget the friendship in school?
	8:34pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:33 Y'all may know this already, but that's him there in the playlist poster right over there to the left of me
	8:35pm tom tom the pipers son: oh never seen an image...!
	8:35pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:34 Peter! Wow, thank you for that. Although now I'm kind of sad because there goes that awesome dissertation on the Cocteau Twins title
	8:36pm northguineahills: ↳ peter @8:34 thanks, peter!
	8:36pm Charles: Groovin'
	🇰🇷 8:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Raga Bhupali" by "Charanjit Singh" sitting up straight now.
	8:36pm Gary: Charles! Howdy!
	8:37pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:35 oh, speaking on Cocteau Twins Chinese connections, have we ever discussed Faye Wong and her interchange with them?
	8:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ peter @8:34 thanks peter...quite wonderful
	8:39pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:37 Gosh, maybe? Maybe not, though. I know of the Cranberries track of course, which might be her most listened-to around these parts
	8:42pm peter: ah yeah! great cover.. but apparently (let's see if i can get this right), she wrote to the band telling them she was a huge fan and would love to collaborate, and so they sent her some unused instrumental tracks to make Cantonese-language songs out of
	8:42pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Check Up Your Head" by "Mukhtar Ramadan Iidi" so cool!
	8:42pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Check Up Your Head" by "Mukhtar Ramadan Iidi" always good advice CUYH
	8:44pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:42 Dang that sounds super-familiar ...
	8:44pm peter: ↳ peter @8:42 and apparently, she even tried to emulate Elizabeth Fraser's vocal style, writing nonsense lyrics that sound like Cantonese
	8:45pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:44 www.discogs.com...
	8:45pm Gary: ^Track 4
	8:50pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:45 分裂 Lyrics By – 林夕* Music By, Arranged By – Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie, Simon Raymonde Producer – Cocteau Twins
	🇰🇷 8:51pm Alex from Media: This set is just nailing it!
	8:51pm peter: ↳ peter @8:50 掃興 Lyrics By – 黃偉文* Music By, Arranged By – Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie, Simon Raymonde Producer – Cocteau Twins
	8:51pm peter: (although apparently i'm mistaken and she didn't write the lyrics herself)
	8:53pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:51 The only vinyl version of that release is going for hundreds of $$$ (tearful icon)
	8:54pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:53 haha not surprising
	8:58pm Michael 98145: ↳ Gary @8:53 probably not available at the local bodega ..
	8:58pm Doug Schulkind: Happy showiversary, Gary!
	8:59pm Gary: Howdy, Doug!
	9:07pm Michael 98145: ( 2014 was 11(!) years ago?? how did that happen?? )
	9:25pm Ike: If You Lose Your Sam Segal Who Turns into a Horse and Runs Away and Then Julie Has to Fill In for Him
	9:26pm Gary: Indeed, Ike. Howdy!
	9:30pm Julie: happy anniversary show, Gary!!
	9:31pm Gary: Julie, howdy, and thank you!
	9:34pm wimpy: I know we’ve largely moved on from the music site and streaming discussion, but I wish there was an mp3 player that I could stick a couple terabytes of music on and could connect to the drummer stream. Id drop Spotify in a heartbeat
	🇰🇷 9:37pm Alex from Media: ↳ wimpy @9:34 I have had similar thoughts. If only the clicky stars fed into a personal playback....
	🇰🇷 9:44pm WR: ↳ Alex from Media @9:37 The WFMU phone apps have features for listening to any program from the archives and you can mark favorites and pre-download for playing. Haven't used the new iphone app but for the android app it works ok, to see the song list you have to have at least some internet connection. But there is no way to make your own playlist. And I don't think WFMU could get away with allowing that.
	9:46pm Ike: ↳ wimpy @9:34 I'm too much of a cheapskate to get unlimited cellular data, so I mostly just download WFMU archives and listen to those on the go instead of streaming Spotify or whatever. And also some downloaded MP3s and such. Hot tip: Save gigantic wads of cash by switching to a dirt-cheap cell provider like MobileX (which is on the Verizon network), Ultra Mobile (on T-Mobile's net), US Mobile, H2O, etc. and maybe pledge the money you've saved to FMU!
	9:47pm Gary: Hey Kids! Stick around after this mess for Julie's Dark Night of the Soul, starting promptly at 10:00 PM EST! Tonight's episode: "Nighttime Magic" wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 9:48pm Alex from Media: Thanks WR and Ike. Will investigate.
	9:48pm Dean: I'll stream, but on my own terms. As of now I don't have the means to grasp my terms. I'm eying a wonderful $20,000 streaming device. Until I work out a way to acquire it, I don't stream, except for very lo-fi WFMU and Naxos Music Library over computer speakers.
	9:49pm Gary: Howdy, Dean!
	9:49pm Julie: ↳ Gary @9:47 thank you Gary! 🖤
	🇰🇷 9:51pm Alex from Media: Thank you for a memorable show Gary, and thanks to all for the chat advice!
	9:51pm Ike: I switched from H2O to the even cheaper MobileX recently and so far it seems like it lets me stream a bit of WFMU live over cellular data every day without charging me! (To be confirmed -- I must investigate further -- it may just be a delay in the data accounting on their app.) And it's only $2.10/GB anyway!
	9:51pm northguineahills: feliz undecimo, gracias gary!
	9:52pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Disko" by "Rok Hotel" it is disko but it is also haunting. very nice
	9:53pm Julie: and whistle register!
	🇰🇷 9:57pm WR: thank you! Gary! Onward...
	9:57pm Malcontent: Seriously Gary... a fantastic show, a fantastic hang... thanks again!
	9:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks gary...
	9:59pm slugluv1313: fantastic, as always, Gary -- thanks so much! Happy Anniversary! wishing you many many more 🐱🐱
	9:59pm Malcontent: And happy anniversary!
	10:00pm Gary: Night, everyone, and thanks!
	🇰🇷 10:24pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	10:38pm Michael 98145: Another great Archive!!

	🇰🇷 7:11pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:09 Pilsener is a good choice for people who need to stay awake for three hours.
	7:11pm wimpy: Happy 11 years! Been looking forward to this show all day once I saw it was gonna be an international disco party
	7:11pm Gary: Michael and Wimpy, Howdy!

	🇰🇷 7:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:20 Social media for now as I'm not going to only do music. I've been pestering my family with you tube music videos, but maybe there's a better way...
	7:22pm wimpy: I’m a big fan of rateyourmusic, although the user base tends to be mostly teenagers
	7:24pm northguineahills: gary! bodegaites!
	7:24pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:22 I do almost nothing on social media but post photos of me spinning LPs and 45s and cassettes: Twitter, Instagram, BlueSky
	7:24pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @7:24 NGH, Howdy!
	🇰🇷 7:25pm Alex from Media: ↳ wimpy @7:22 bookmarked for investigation, thanks
	7:28pm slugluv1313: good evening, Gary! Bodega Cats! and kittens and puppies and coyotes 🐱🐶🐺
	🇰🇷 7:29pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:24 If you look super sexy doing it then that's plenty.
	7:29pm Gary: Slugluv, howdy!
	7:29pm wimpy: The actual main experience of the website, ie rating music and reading reviews is great, and the users make lists that can be great for discovering music. The forums are pretty lame but it’s pretty easy to never step foot in them. The website does have a good amount of blind spots though and I’ve noticed WFMU djs play loads of stuff that’s never been rated on there
	7:30pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Stayin’ Alive" by "Machuca Cumbia" LOVE THIS! gotta check out the b-side too
	7:32pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:29 All you ever see of me is my ancient age-ravaged hands gripping the physical media for dear life
	7:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Like It (Don't Stop)" by "Maxwell Udoh" slight 'sexual healing' quotation
	🇰🇷 7:33pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:32 ooh I hear that now.
	7:33pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:33 Esp. the "wake up wake up wake up get up get up get up" haha
	7:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Gary @7:33 yes
	🇰🇷 7:34pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @7:33 What a give away.
	7:36pm mic_a: Hello Gary and Bo Peeps! Happy 11!
	7:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Liza...Liza" by "Elias Rahbani and His Orchestra" nice.... shades of boney m
	7:37pm Gary: Howdy, mic_a!
	7:38pm Michael 98145: No social media since Usenet groups -- so i hang out here ...
	7:38pm Gary: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:38 Wise man
	7:38pm mic_a: This week, I have seen people recommend Soundcloud and Mixcloud, but I have no idea if that's right or wrong.
	🇰🇷 7:38pm Alex from Media: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:38 Perhaps the saner path.
	7:40pm Gary: ↳ mic_a @7:38 Soundclound's nice, but not a super social media-type experience. I'm on it but no longer active, but I do definitely still find pretty great music there now and then
	🇰🇷 7:43pm Alex from Media: ↳ mic_a @7:38 I'm also evaluating my life choices in the music streaming service area. Is bandcamp a good music streaming service for assmbling your own playlist AND sorting/searching your music?
	7:43pm mic_a: Mind you, "not a social media type experience" would be a plus to me, but perhaps not for Alex. Oh! This track kills already!
	7:43pm mzmm: hello
	🇰🇷 7:44pm Alex from Media: ↳ mic_a @7:43 Not necessarily a zero sum question. I may select several options for different purposes.
	7:45pm Gary: Howdy, Mzmm!
	7:46pm Gary: ↳ Alex from Media @7:43 Bandcamp is pretty terrific. I can't compare it to other streaming services like Spotify etc. b/c I don't have those
	7:47pm Quinn02: Woah, I just played that Liza Liza track in my car about five minutes ago after hearing someone play it on the holiday party
	7:47pm mic_a: I'm not really one to say on Bandcamp as a listening experience. I mainly just listen to 'FMU -- so I don't have to go through the horrifying experience of choosing things for myself!
	7:48pm Gary: Quinn, howdy!
	7:49pm Quinn02: Hello Gary
	7:49pm Michael 98145: IMHO, the Drummer Stream is one of the best listening booths ever
	7:49pm mackeral: I use bandcamp bc my understanding at least is that that's the route that delivers the most dough to the artists. I also use it to follow artists and labels, for new releases. I set up an email filter. You can download FLAC. Artists and labels can allow limited or unlimited free listening on a per-release basis
	7:50pm mackeral: there's not really a "social" aspect to it, which is a plus
	7:50pm Michael 98145: ↳ mackeral @7:49 second that
	7:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Created Disco" by "Calvin Harris" a banger... reminds me of gang gang dance
	7:56pm rw: Good evening!
	7:57pm Gary: RW, howdy!
	7:57pm mic_a: Avoiding choosing for myself -- I should add that that only works if I trust the choosers -- fave 'FMU Djs, yes. Algorithm services -- go burn in AI Hell.
	🇰🇷 7:57pm Alex from Media: ↳ mackeral @7:49 seems to be the music streaming service of choice at FMU for that reason
	🇰🇷 7:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ mic_a @7:57 Spotify is on my very very naughty list.
	8:00pm mackeral: ↳ Alex from Media @7:59 yup
	🇰🇷 8:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Campus Bell Tone 校園的鈴聲" by "Gao Ling Feng 高凌風" Its got the ring my beel thing why not on campus?
	8:05pm Michael 98145: ring my bell
	8:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Campus Bell Tone 校園的鈴聲" by "Gao Ling Feng 高凌風" that was closer to the blood sisters version than the original....
	8:09pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:07 I'm so very glad I found that version because if I played that Blood Sisters version yet again I am afraid someone would have definitely tackled me and shut off my internet access
	8:11pm Michael 98145: Fun show today
	8:18pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Sexy Robot セクシィ・ロボット" by "Hitomi "Penny" Tohyama ... even AI tunes
	🇰🇷 8:20pm Alex from Media: A confession: A lot of times I'll pick up foreign language stuff as funny tongue in cheek music. Only to later realize how great it actually is.
	8:20pm mic_a: Philly soul via Eastern Bloc? Nice.
	8:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sexy Robot セクシィ・ロボット" by "Hitomi "Penny" Tohyama ... i know i've faved sexy robot before, maybe it lacked the hiragana formatting...
	8:26pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:21 Try WFMU's Advanced Search: wfmu.org...
	8:28pm Malcontent: Sounding great tonight Gary, thank you!
	8:29pm Gary: Howdy, Malcontent!
	8:33pm tom tom the pipers son: of course charanjit singh...i bow
	8:34pm peter: intrigued by "Campus Bell Tone", I looked up the lyrics. Here's Google Translate's take on them: There are bells ringing in the distance. Ding-dong, ding-dong. They float gently through my lonely heart. They are so familiar and kind. They remind me of my old friends. They have been in my dreams. They are the bells in my childhood school. Who can forget the friendship in school? There are bells ringing in the distance. Ding-dong, ding-dong. They float gently through my lonely heart. They are so familiar and kind. They remind me of my old friends. They have been in my dreams. They are the bells in my childhood school. Who can forget the friendship in school? I still remember the laughter in the bells. I still remember the dreams in school. They are the bells in my childhood school. Who can forget the friendship in school?
	8:34pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:33 Y'all may know this already, but that's him there in the playlist poster right over there to the left of me
	8:35pm tom tom the pipers son: oh never seen an image...!
	8:35pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:34 Peter! Wow, thank you for that. Although now I'm kind of sad because there goes that awesome dissertation on the Cocteau Twins title
	8:36pm northguineahills: ↳ peter @8:34 thanks, peter!
	8:36pm Charles: Groovin'
	🇰🇷 8:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Raga Bhupali" by "Charanjit Singh" sitting up straight now.
	8:36pm Gary: Charles! Howdy!
	8:37pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:35 oh, speaking on Cocteau Twins Chinese connections, have we ever discussed Faye Wong and her interchange with them?
	8:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ peter @8:34 thanks peter...quite wonderful
	8:39pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:37 Gosh, maybe? Maybe not, though. I know of the Cranberries track of course, which might be her most listened-to around these parts
	8:42pm peter: ah yeah! great cover.. but apparently (let's see if i can get this right), she wrote to the band telling them she was a huge fan and would love to collaborate, and so they sent her some unused instrumental tracks to make Cantonese-language songs out of
	8:42pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Check Up Your Head" by "Mukhtar Ramadan Iidi" so cool!
	8:42pm Michael 98145: ↳ Song: "Check Up Your Head" by "Mukhtar Ramadan Iidi" always good advice CUYH
	8:44pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:42 Dang that sounds super-familiar ...
	8:44pm peter: ↳ peter @8:42 and apparently, she even tried to emulate Elizabeth Fraser's vocal style, writing nonsense lyrics that sound like Cantonese
	8:45pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:44 www.discogs.com...
	8:45pm Gary: ^Track 4
	8:50pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:45 分裂 Lyrics By – 林夕* Music By, Arranged By – Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie, Simon Raymonde Producer – Cocteau Twins
	🇰🇷 8:51pm Alex from Media: This set is just nailing it!
	8:51pm peter: ↳ peter @8:50 掃興 Lyrics By – 黃偉文* Music By, Arranged By – Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie, Simon Raymonde Producer – Cocteau Twins
	8:51pm peter: (although apparently i'm mistaken and she didn't write the lyrics herself)
	8:53pm Gary: ↳ peter @8:51 The only vinyl version of that release is going for hundreds of $$$ (tearful icon)
	8:54pm peter: ↳ Gary @8:53 haha not surprising
	8:58pm Michael 98145: ↳ Gary @8:53 probably not available at the local bodega ..
	8:58pm Doug Schulkind: Happy showiversary, Gary!
	8:59pm Gary: Howdy, Doug!
	9:07pm Michael 98145: ( 2014 was 11(!) years ago?? how did that happen?? )
	9:25pm Ike: If You Lose Your Sam Segal Who Turns into a Horse and Runs Away and Then Julie Has to Fill In for Him
	9:26pm Gary: Indeed, Ike. Howdy!
	9:30pm Julie: happy anniversary show, Gary!!
	9:31pm Gary: Julie, howdy, and thank you!
	9:34pm wimpy: I know we’ve largely moved on from the music site and streaming discussion, but I wish there was an mp3 player that I could stick a couple terabytes of music on and could connect to the drummer stream. Id drop Spotify in a heartbeat
	🇰🇷 9:37pm Alex from Media: ↳ wimpy @9:34 I have had similar thoughts. If only the clicky stars fed into a personal playback....
	🇰🇷 9:44pm WR: ↳ Alex from Media @9:37 The WFMU phone apps have features for listening to any program from the archives and you can mark favorites and pre-download for playing. Haven't used the new iphone app but for the android app it works ok, to see the song list you have to have at least some internet connection. But there is no way to make your own playlist. And I don't think WFMU could get away with allowing that.
	9:46pm Ike: ↳ wimpy @9:34 I'm too much of a cheapskate to get unlimited cellular data, so I mostly just download WFMU archives and listen to those on the go instead of streaming Spotify or whatever. And also some downloaded MP3s and such. Hot tip: Save gigantic wads of cash by switching to a dirt-cheap cell provider like MobileX (which is on the Verizon network), Ultra Mobile (on T-Mobile's net), US Mobile, H2O, etc. and maybe pledge the money you've saved to FMU!
	9:47pm Gary: Hey Kids! Stick around after this mess for Julie's Dark Night of the Soul, starting promptly at 10:00 PM EST! Tonight's episode: "Nighttime Magic" wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 9:48pm Alex from Media: Thanks WR and Ike. Will investigate.
	9:48pm Dean: I'll stream, but on my own terms. As of now I don't have the means to grasp my terms. I'm eying a wonderful $20,000 streaming device. Until I work out a way to acquire it, I don't stream, except for very lo-fi WFMU and Naxos Music Library over computer speakers.
	9:49pm Gary: Howdy, Dean!
	9:49pm Julie: ↳ Gary @9:47 thank you Gary! 🖤
	🇰🇷 9:51pm Alex from Media: Thank you for a memorable show Gary, and thanks to all for the chat advice!
	9:51pm Ike: I switched from H2O to the even cheaper MobileX recently and so far it seems like it lets me stream a bit of WFMU live over cellular data every day without charging me! (To be confirmed -- I must investigate further -- it may just be a delay in the data accounting on their app.) And it's only $2.10/GB anyway!
	9:51pm northguineahills: feliz undecimo, gracias gary!
	9:52pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Disko" by "Rok Hotel" it is disko but it is also haunting. very nice
	9:53pm Julie: and whistle register!
	🇰🇷 9:57pm WR: thank you! Gary! Onward...
	9:57pm Malcontent: Seriously Gary... a fantastic show, a fantastic hang... thanks again!
	9:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks gary...
	9:59pm slugluv1313: fantastic, as always, Gary -- thanks so much! Happy Anniversary! wishing you many many more 🐱🐱
	9:59pm Malcontent: And happy anniversary!
	10:00pm Gary: Night, everyone, and thanks!
	🇰🇷 10:24pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	10:38pm Michael 98145: Another great Archive!!
