	3:22pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Sorrow Tears and Blood" by "Fela Kuti" Was just reading us politics stuff and fela comes and I'm thinking ... A background/foreground tune for the next 4 years ...

	3:27pm Donna: Thought this was gonna be MC Solaar's Bouge de la :)
	🥀 3:27pm Ciggy: ↳ Song: "Sorrow Tears and Blood" by "Fela Kuti" Before the internet, I used to get postcards specifically to see Fela Kuti at an open air concert in Brooklyn. I don't know how they got my name and address at the time.
	3:27pm newton: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:25 Oh no! I better go to the market tomorrow. Thanks HH
	🥀 3:27pm captain beef fart: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:16 94', '98, '99 and dang I can't tell if that decade felt any faster than those since.
	3:28pm Malcontent: Mona, today I submitted the manuscript for my third book and it's time to kick back, have a glass of wine and just ... be. And the groove you're spinning is absolutely perfect. Thank you.
	3:29pm javakid: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:25 understood they had the passion and peter had the passion of the christ. covered all the bases.
	🥀 3:33pm captain beef fart: ↳ Malcontent @3:28 have several glasses then be content
	3:33pm northguineahills: hmmm, there's a building on fire across the river about a half-mile downstream in NH. fire dept showed up...
	3:36pm morphe': ↳ Ciggy @3:27 Do you remember the NYC invites in the early 80s [not sure how I got on the list] for early pop up clubs/gigs ... Ya got a wee sponge in the mail and when ya popped it in the water it expanded and had a phone # which gave a time an address for the gig...
	🥀 3:40pm Sean T-Rex: ↳ Song: "Vitamin C" by "Can" HEY YOU!
	3:41pm buzzmansaw: Inherent vice
	3:41pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I thought I read Can were classically trained? I really like Can a LOT.
	3:41pm San Pedro Girl: Hello, Mona, Rob, Nick and everyone.
	3:42pm 80sZuulScully: ↳ Song: "Vitamin C" by "Can" Drums please, wow.
	3:43pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Vitamin C" by "Can" Proto drum 'n bass.
	3:44pm kuriousornj: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:41 keyboardist was Stockhausen's pupil. So, yeah, 'classic'
	🥀 3:45pm Adi From Sheffield: Good evening.
	3:46pm Carmichael: Been listening, but gotta head out into the big bad world. Will keep the tunes going, natch.
	3:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: There is a pharmacueitcal company with a Billion dollar project. I am trying to reach people on LinkedIn who work there to ask them to buy our capital equipment. Francis Bebey sounds a bit like the guy that did Aiko Aiko forgot his name. Doctor John, yeah thats it.
	3:47pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Vitamin C" by "Can" Can't believe it was '72 ... I'd say ESG had heard it ...
	🥀 3:48pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Pick Up" by "DJ Koze" I always think the vocal on this sounds like Roisin Murphy.
	3:50pm Carmichael: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:46 Iko Iko, a great NO song. Just read Aaron Neville's bio Tell It Like It Is, and they used to shoot heroin together for years.
	3:50pm javakid: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:48 Roisin is on other Knock Knock tracks - you may be correct
	3:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:41 yep, irmin schmidt took composition classes at darmstadt from gyorgi ligeti...
	3:50pm morphe': I too must get to the foodstore as I promised my neighbor a dinner ... will catch the rest later in the archive... Thanks Mona and Stereo MCs and all ... Thn
	🥀 3:51pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ javakid @3:50 I mean it sounds slightly pitched down for her but she's not shy doing that either.
	3:52pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Carmichael @3:50 The Dixie Cups had the first radio hit of that song. It's all part of Mardi Gras Indian chanting - spy boys, set your flag on fire, etc.
	3:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I like old country but not George Strait. What song should I hear to change my mind?
	3:55pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Stereo MCs" love to hear these cats still at it
	3:55pm Malcontent: ↳ captain beef fart @3:33 Glug! ;)
	🥀 3:57pm Adi From Sheffield: Saw this lot at Sheffield Octagon...EIGHT MILLION YEARS AGO 😂
	🥀 3:58pm Adi From Sheffield: Casio SK 5. I had one of those.
	3:59pm newton: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:57 the miocene was a great scene
	🥀 4:00pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ newton @3:59 That should be a lyric 😁
	4:01pm morphe': A'dam Rec= StaalPlaat?
	4:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:54 look into tyler childers (ie: a long violent history):. more bluegrass w/ shades of pop, he's from a small town in eastern TN
	4:04pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ northguineahills @4:03 Thanks for that, but I mean what single song of George Strait is as good as , say Merle or Johnny Cash?
	4:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:58 as did i (friend spilled beer on it and fried it)
	4:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:04 none. george strait doesn't suck as 'contemporary' country goes, but i would never listen to him on purpose.
	🥀 4:06pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ northguineahills @4:05 I still have mine somewhere.
	4:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Thank You for Talkin' To Me Africa" by "Sly & the... There is fantastic live Sly & the Family stone footage in the film “Summer of Soul.”
	4:12pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ northguineahills @4:05 I IMMEDIATELY disliked it. Too mawkish and cliched. Contemporary country is the pits. Crappy pop music.
	🥀 4:13pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Mona, monastics, Stereo MCs! Loving the conversation and track selections today. Buried up to my eyeballs trying to finish something so I'll just say hi for now. The groove is going to get me to my finish line I can tell.
	4:15pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:12 That is a broad statement. Sturgil Simpson is woth checking out.
	4:16pm San Pedro Girl: *worth
	4:17pm leshwatt: Good stuff, turn it up. Thank you Stereo MCs
	4:18pm Tara: Digging the show ao much today. Whenever I hear Francis Bebey the whole world stops and I get so pulled in. love him. Today I thought it was Alain Peters for a second. Hope you have a great tour !
	🥀 4:18pm Karl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:54 "Friday Night Fever"
	🥀 4:18pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:12 my youngest son usually has it on in his truck and we hear it when we're out (Central Oregon). i'm sometimes pleasantly surprised. not often. but, it happens. couldn't tell you who the artists are, though.
	🥀 4:19pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sanza Tristesse" by "Francis Bebey" PS -- Mona, since you singled out Bebey I wanted to throw out that his song La Condition Masculine cracks me up. Also My Tropical Flower. Both, I think, are on a comp called African Electronic Music, 1975-1982. At least according to my harddrive.
	4:19pm PaulRobeson1925: Special time
	4:20pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:15 I will thanks. Hes pretty amazing actually Ijust peeked at it. But back to George Strait, is there a good song he does? I listen to local country radio that plays the new hits and don'tlike hardly any of it.
	4:21pm Greg with some Gs: Thank you
	4:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:12 that would be his latest album. his earlier stuff, "long violent history" is more trad bluegrass/country
	4:22pm Matthew: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:20 You should probably check out the "Sinner's Crossroads" show right here on WFMU.
	4:22pm common: mona! all!
	4:23pm Andres: Junk shop breaks! Love it!
	4:23pm Jim the Poet: I'm gonna get myself connected
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:20 try wfmu's own honky tonk radio girl w/ becky: www.wfmu.org...
	4:24pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:20 George is the king of country music. George Jones that is.
	4:24pm Matthew: Francis Bebey was an amazing guitar player. I'm not a fan of country music, but I like John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, & Gillian Welch.
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Matthew @4:22 i would place kevin more under gospel primitive.
	4:24pm San Pedro Girl: Questlove, drummer for The Roots, directed “Summer of Soul,” the film I referred to in my earlier post.
	🥀 4:24pm Adi From Sheffield: Is this Strip Steve playing now?
	4:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:24 Totally ignorant of him, where to start, best two songs?
	4:25pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ northguineahills @4:24 Agree. Hi NGH!
	4:26pm Matthew: ↳ northguineahills @4:24 I stand corrected.
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:25 yo SPG!
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Matthew @4:26 i heart kevin nutt!
	4:27pm northguineahills: ok, gotta run an errand, i'll be back before the end!
	🥀 4:27pm Karl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:24 You don't know George Jones? "White Lightning" (early) and "He Stopped Loving Her Today" (late). Phenomenal singer.
	4:28pm Picante Mint: Ween's 12 Country Golden Hits is some pretty great country imo.
	4:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:24 i concur /but he's 60s-80s era,
	4:30pm steveo: I got to boogie but wanted to say thanks for the incredible show great interview fantastic tunes have a good rest of your show Mona
	4:31pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Stay In The Shade" by "José González" This is lovely. I am getting Nick Drake vibes.
	4:31pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Stay In The Shade" by "José González" man I loved this album. saw him at bowery ballroom the year it came out, 2006?
	🥀 4:31pm Karl: ↳ Karl @4:27 Scratch that. If it's just two songs then I would pick "The Race is On" over "White Lightning."
	4:35pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" Hell yeah!!
	🥀 4:35pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" One of the tightest tracks known to man 😁
	4:36pm Matty from Brooklyn: That was a great tune. Wasn't familiar, very cool.
	4:36pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Karl @4:27 My boss sings Karaoke to He Stopped Loving Here Today! I know that song!
	4:36pm erik: ↳ joe mulligan @4:31 I think I was at that show too, he opened for someone at Bowery Ballroom, and the crowd hushed.
	4:36pm mariano: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" Amazing video by Toni Basil for this song: www.youtube.com...
	🥀 4:36pm Karl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:36 Of current country singers, Dougie Poole is my favorite, by a large margin. I like some George Strait, but man, I heard those songs so so many more times than I needed to hear them in the 80s and 90s. If you start singing "Oceanfront Property" around me, I'm not responsible for what happens after.
	4:37pm Guy in Solihull UK: Stereo Mcs did a killer UK Breezeblock mix a LOOONG time ago - these tunes right up with this 👍
	🥀 4:39pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @4:37 Used to love Breezeblock
	4:39pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:35 I remember this tour. I couldn’t get into the completely sold out show at the Wollman Rink in Central Park. However, my friends and I scored a spot on a little patch of grass just outside the venue. It was really great.
	🥀 4:39pm Karl: Three key periods for George Jones: his early country rock period (my personal favorite), followed by the Tammy Wynette duets period (also great), and then "written-off as No Show Jones" period. That last period has some amazing gems, even up to pretty late in his life. "Choices" was a really great late Jones song. His version of "I Gotta Get Drunk" is one of the best country songs ever recorded, and it didn't even make the top two you asked for.
	🥀 4:41pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:39 Talking Heads only toured the UK once. I've seen all of them separately but sadly never together.
	🥀 4:42pm Karl: Don't take my word for it, Dave the Spazz did an amazing George Jones tribute show with Matt Fiveash and Gaylord: wfmu.org...
	4:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks for ANOTHER George, George Jones! Hey, the MC5's are TIGHT, I must get one of their CDs. Can you play Revel in Albuquerque??I'd go see you and take my wife also.
	4:42pm Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:39 Heard some great music on that show. Now I've got WFMU to compensate
	🥀 4:42pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" Remain in Light is a perfect record.
	4:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: STEREO MCs sorry! Wrong band!
	4:43pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Good afternoon, folks!
	4:43pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:41 A couple of years later I was at one of the Forrest Hills shows during the "Stop Making Sense” tour—fantastic!
	4:44pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Karl @4:42 Indeed.
	4:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Karl @4:42 Every song is a banger on that. I was 12 or 14 when I first heard that in my friend's room on his stereo. It was SO STRANGE to me as all I listened to was Led Zeppelin and The Who.
	4:46pm newton: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:39 Here it is! I was at the one the year before that the B52s opened www.youtube.com...
	4:46pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Karl @4:42 Fool's Paradise spins a number of GJ tracks, especially the alcohol fueled ones.
	4:47pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:46 I LOVE that show! Saturdays, right?
	4:47pm javakid: ↳ mariano @4:36 that was excellent. noticed in the credits that someone who worked w/ Toni Basil on this was a guy by the name of Spazz Attack. He and Basil also worked together on the choreography around Bowie's Glass Spider tour.
	4:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ erik @4:36 oh yeah! and then I think it was the math rock guy don caballero who played after?
	4:48pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ newton @4:46 Thanks!
	4:49pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:47 Yes, after Michael Shelley.
	4:49pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks to Stereo MCs for just hanging out and telling us about cool music! Welcome to the USA, I hope you find some cool records to take back with you. I, too relied on going to obscure thrift shops for records. I found one with odd hours in an episcopal church open only tuesdays and thursdays or something and I ended up wtih some bootlegs!
	4:49pm Noir Lover: Other Music?
	4:50pm joe mulligan: ↳ Noir Lover @4:49 Yup, Other Music was the best
	4:51pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:49 Fool’s Paradise is on a bit later in the day, following TOPT’s show.
	4:52pm Matty from Brooklyn: was that the Tower Records?
	🥀 4:52pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:43 Superb tour.
	4:54pm Matty from Brooklyn: Great set, thanks a lot guys! Thames Mona, that was a fun listen!
	4:55pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Matty from Brooklyn @4:52 It was on Broadway, though not a small shop.
	4:56pm San Pedro Girl: Thanks, Mona!
	4:57pm joe mulligan: ↳ Matty from Brooklyn @4:52 Tower Records was catty corner from Other Music. I absolutely love that Tower closed long before Other Music and Other Music lasted longer
	4:58pm Guy in Solihull UK: Enjoyed this v much thanks Mona. Also forgot how good the Stereo's are - great tunes
	4:58pm listener 126464: Good stuff. Thanks much Mona, Rob & Nick.
	4:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ joe mulligan @4:57 I think Tower Records was open 24/7? Only new stuff though. Wish I bought Nevermind first pressing there however, its worth a LOT now.
	4:59pm ben & Reba: Thanks Mona, appreciate your show here in Butler PA
	4:59pm luker duker: Tuned in for this, tysm ☕️
	🥀 4:59pm Bobby: I am ready.
	🥀 5:00pm Adi From Sheffield: I had a rare Stereo MC's mix on a Select magazine cover tape. I wish I could remember what it was. I just remember liking it a lot.
	🥀 5:00pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): so cool, thank you mona
	🥀 5:04pm Adi From Sheffield: I've watched quite a few of Lynch's films but realise I know very little about the man himself
	🥀 5:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Snake Eyes" by "Trouble" "YOU REMIND ME TODAY OF A SMALL MEXICAN CHI-WOW-WOW."
	5:09pm northguineahills: so, walked to NH, a house burned, total loss. not sure if anyone lived there, but considering the housing market around here, i doubt it was vacant, unless it was a second home, but it didn't look like one.
	5:11pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:59 24/7 record shopping seemed normal in the 80s when that Tower Records opened. I used to hit the clubs late and would quite often be carousing in the wee hours. Those were good times!
	5:13pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:11 somewhat related, there was a club/cafe/gallery record store I would dj at until the wee hours. I would often spend most of the money i made djing on records each night there (i was getting free booze, etc as well)
	🥀 5:13pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i'm crying
	5:14pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ northguineahills @5:09 What is the average price of a house in NH there? Its 300k here in Albuquerque.
	5:14pm northguineahills: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @5:13 i'm w/ ya...😂
	5:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:14 not sure, as i'm across the river in VT, but I imagine once you take the zoning differences etc, it's probably about $200k, for large older new england houses.
	5:21pm Lana in Bucks County: Great interview, Super show, beautiful Mona - thank you!
	5:23pm zoezopf: sorry i’m late! joining in from the scottish borders
	5:27pm kuriousornj: thanks Mona, enjoying the music...
	🥀 5:30pm Adi From Sheffield: Staying till the end but coming off the boards to draw. I've had a lousy day so I'm going to take advantage of this set to try and de stress. Thanks Mona 🙏
	🥀 5:31pm Handy Haversack: This set is really doing the work, Mona.
	5:32pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:31 Seriously. If anyone was going to do the ultimate David Lynch tribute show...
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:31 yes, we needs this!
	5:33pm rf: Thanks for the tribute. Stream just went down for me?
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ rf @5:33 it's back up
	5:33pm Bill K: ↳ rf @5:33 It's back
	5:33pm courtneynoir: My stream keeps cutting out and making me sadder
	🥀 5:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ rf @5:33 Yeah, VLC flipped me to the RnS stream and I had to put it back here.
	5:34pm rf: yep! thx. DL too great for this world, eh?
	🥀 5:34pm Bobby: ↳ courtneynoir @5:33 Same. Stream is sad and trying to hold it together
	5:34pm Howard & the Cats: Streams has been dropping out for me, too. Wonderful show, Mona, as usual xxxooo
	5:34pm clambake: thought it was my stupid sonos thingie.
	5:35pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Thanks Mona, for this beautiful tribute! Will listen to the archive whether or not the live stream survives ;)
	5:35pm lankylad: goosebumps
	🥀 5:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @5:32 I was surprised by how hard losing him hit me -- and seemed to hit so many others. I think for me at least it also partly exemplifies the enshittification of everything, the lack of control we have over it, and how the world as currently constituted is a big fuck-you to people who, you know, care about things. Lynch was killed by a combo of two of the biggest, shittiest forces in capitalism, tobacco and oil, because we can't have nice things, and just in case we fool ourselves for a while in the dark of the theater into believing we can, they will take it away, and we're left here, not seeing. Llorando indeed.
	5:35pm Mennlinn Rebarts: ↳ Song: "Llorabdo (Crying)" by "Rebekah Del Rio" Lllorando coming through though <3
	5:37pm JB: ↳ Song: "Llorabdo (Crying)" by "Rebekah Del Rio" Whoa mama what a set of lungs! Incredible
	5:37pm rf: waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
	🥀 5:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:35 Kind of like when they realize Rebekah Del Rio was lip-synching and suddenly realize that everything is fake, including them. So, yeah, I guess even in the dark we still see feelingly. Thanks, David. For all. And Mona.
	5:38pm Kevin in Champaign: I knew Mona would bring what we needed today.
	5:38pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:35 It's incredibly sad, it's hit me really hard too. Selfish of me, but I was hoping he had (at least) one more film in him. I don't want to think that his universe now has a definite end in time.
	5:39pm arianne: ❤️
	5:40pm Spikey BXL: Gosh Mona 🥹❤️
	5:40pm mariano: ↳ mariano @5:38 A point after which there will be no more creation, I mean. Obviously his work will live on.
	5:40pm northguineahills: ↳ mariano @5:38 didn't he say he was done w/ film after inland empire? /but yeah, i wanted one more as well.
	5:41pm Paul aka Tamale: Excellent interview and another show hit outta the ballpark! Thanks 👍
	5:42pm mariano: ↳ northguineahills @5:40 Maybe so, I hadn't heard that. I mean, the new Twin Peaks is an 18-hour Lynch film, so I shouldn't kvetch too much.
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ mariano @5:42 that's how he envisioned it...
	5:42pm Mennlinn Rebarts: I've re-watched Twin Peaks the return at least once a year. Each time, the surviving cast is smaller :`(
	5:43pm gauche knee: o my goodness 💔 thank you 🌍
	5:43pm Paul aka Tamale: ↳ Liverpool Andrea @3:01 Mona is the best 👌
	🥀 5:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @5:42 He said he was done with film qua film -- the material substance -- as opposed to digital video.
	5:45pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Here is a go fund me for the beloved Carel Struycken, The Fireman lost his home to the wildfires last week. consequence.net...
	5:46pm lukas: Wonderful tribute!
	5:46pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:44 Yeah, he really went gaga for digital, didn't he? You'd think that someone like him, so steeped in the history of film and filmmaking technique, would be the ultimate film purist.
	5:46pm lankylad: Oof. Thank you Mona. ❤️
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In Heaven (The Lady In The Radiator Song)" by "Da... so, this is where latter mercury rev got their sound...

	🥀 5:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @5:46 Well, no clean consumption under capitalism. cup.columbia.edu...

	5:48pm chresti: ↳ Song: "In Heaven (The Lady In The Radiator Song)" by "Da... The striped pillow cover is a nice touch
	5:48pm lukas: One amazing Lynch film is the short on the DVD compilation "Lumiere and Company". What he was able to do with this old camera and super-restrictive rules blows even the other amazing directors on it out of the water.
	5:49pm Kevin in Champaign: When I saw Inland Empire it was in very limited release, only at some downtown theatre there in NYC, and only at one strangely timed showing a day. While watching it, every time there was a clock on the screen...I swear it was the correct time for when and where we were there in EST...
	5:49pm Paul aka Tamale: ↳ Ciggy @3:27 I discovered Fela Kuti when a television station (WNET?) did a profile of him and his songs performed on stage and was instantly mesmerized. His 20 minute songs were entrancing & mesmerizing.
	5:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Kevin in Champaign @5:49 huh, i saw it in nyc...(didn't make that connection)
	🥀 5:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: David Lynch Movie Night at Monty Hall ... what triple feature is playing? 📽️

	5:51pm lukas: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:50 I still have a soft spot for Wild at Heart, saw it way back in college in a big movie theater.
	5:51pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:48 That looks very interesting. Are your editorial fingerprints on it, by chance?
	5:51pm mariano: ↳ chresti @5:50 Hey, chresti!
	5:51pm common: just watched mulhulland drive. still so creepy and great
	5:52pm chresti: ↳ mariano @5:51 Hi mariano!

	5:54pm Mona: thank you friends, was really nice to heartache with you - thanks to stereo mcs for the gorgeous set over the first two hours. see you next week?? same time same place?
	5:54pm ??: Mystery and detectives and cinema relate one hundred percent to life. Most of us, we don’t know where we were before we were born. We don’t know for sure where we’re going after. We don’t know why we’re here. We don’t know much about anything. We’re floating on a ball in something they call a universe on the edge of a galaxy with about 100 or 200 billion suns… And we are going to football games and watching TV. It’s like pretty crazy. That’s the way it is. — David Lynch (from his Masterclass)
	5:54pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:53 I'll dust off my deerstalker and magnifying glass!
	🥀 5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Mona! ⭐

	3:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: There is a pharmacueitcal company with a Billion dollar project. I am trying to reach people on LinkedIn who work there to ask them to buy our capital equipment. Francis Bebey sounds a bit like the guy that did Aiko Aiko forgot his name. Doctor John, yeah thats it.
	3:47pm morphe': ↳ Song: "Vitamin C" by "Can" Can't believe it was '72 ... I'd say ESG had heard it ...
	🥀 3:48pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Pick Up" by "DJ Koze" I always think the vocal on this sounds like Roisin Murphy.
	3:50pm Carmichael: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:46 Iko Iko, a great NO song. Just read Aaron Neville's bio Tell It Like It Is, and they used to shoot heroin together for years.

	3:52pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Carmichael @3:50 The Dixie Cups had the first radio hit of that song. It's all part of Mardi Gras Indian chanting - spy boys, set your flag on fire, etc.
	3:54pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I like old country but not George Strait. What song should I hear to change my mind?
	3:55pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Interview" by "Stereo MCs" love to hear these cats still at it

	3:59pm newton: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:57 the miocene was a great scene
	🥀 4:00pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ newton @3:59 That should be a lyric 😁
	4:01pm morphe': A'dam Rec= StaalPlaat?
	4:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:54 look into tyler childers (ie: a long violent history):. more bluegrass w/ shades of pop, he's from a small town in eastern TN
	4:04pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ northguineahills @4:03 Thanks for that, but I mean what single song of George Strait is as good as , say Merle or Johnny Cash?
	4:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @3:58 as did i (friend spilled beer on it and fried it)
	4:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:04 none. george strait doesn't suck as 'contemporary' country goes, but i would never listen to him on purpose.
	🥀 4:06pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ northguineahills @4:05 I still have mine somewhere.
	4:08pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Thank You for Talkin' To Me Africa" by "Sly & the... There is fantastic live Sly & the Family stone footage in the film “Summer of Soul.”
	4:12pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ northguineahills @4:05 I IMMEDIATELY disliked it. Too mawkish and cliched. Contemporary country is the pits. Crappy pop music.
	🥀 4:13pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Mona, monastics, Stereo MCs! Loving the conversation and track selections today. Buried up to my eyeballs trying to finish something so I'll just say hi for now. The groove is going to get me to my finish line I can tell.
	4:15pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:12 That is a broad statement. Sturgil Simpson is woth checking out.
	4:16pm San Pedro Girl: *worth
	4:17pm leshwatt: Good stuff, turn it up. Thank you Stereo MCs
	4:18pm Tara: Digging the show ao much today. Whenever I hear Francis Bebey the whole world stops and I get so pulled in. love him. Today I thought it was Alain Peters for a second. Hope you have a great tour !
	🥀 4:18pm Karl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @3:54 "Friday Night Fever"
	🥀 4:18pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:12 my youngest son usually has it on in his truck and we hear it when we're out (Central Oregon). i'm sometimes pleasantly surprised. not often. but, it happens. couldn't tell you who the artists are, though.
	🥀 4:19pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sanza Tristesse" by "Francis Bebey" PS -- Mona, since you singled out Bebey I wanted to throw out that his song La Condition Masculine cracks me up. Also My Tropical Flower. Both, I think, are on a comp called African Electronic Music, 1975-1982. At least according to my harddrive.
	4:19pm PaulRobeson1925: Special time
	4:20pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:15 I will thanks. Hes pretty amazing actually Ijust peeked at it. But back to George Strait, is there a good song he does? I listen to local country radio that plays the new hits and don'tlike hardly any of it.
	4:21pm Greg with some Gs: Thank you
	4:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:12 that would be his latest album. his earlier stuff, "long violent history" is more trad bluegrass/country
	4:22pm Matthew: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:20 You should probably check out the "Sinner's Crossroads" show right here on WFMU.
	4:22pm common: mona! all!
	4:23pm Andres: Junk shop breaks! Love it!
	4:23pm Jim the Poet: I'm gonna get myself connected
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:20 try wfmu's own honky tonk radio girl w/ becky: www.wfmu.org...
	4:24pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:20 George is the king of country music. George Jones that is.
	4:24pm Matthew: Francis Bebey was an amazing guitar player. I'm not a fan of country music, but I like John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, & Gillian Welch.
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Matthew @4:22 i would place kevin more under gospel primitive.
	4:24pm San Pedro Girl: Questlove, drummer for The Roots, directed “Summer of Soul,” the film I referred to in my earlier post.
	🥀 4:24pm Adi From Sheffield: Is this Strip Steve playing now?
	4:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:24 Totally ignorant of him, where to start, best two songs?
	4:25pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ northguineahills @4:24 Agree. Hi NGH!
	4:26pm Matthew: ↳ northguineahills @4:24 I stand corrected.
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:25 yo SPG!
	4:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Matthew @4:26 i heart kevin nutt!
	4:27pm northguineahills: ok, gotta run an errand, i'll be back before the end!
	🥀 4:27pm Karl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:24 You don't know George Jones? "White Lightning" (early) and "He Stopped Loving Her Today" (late). Phenomenal singer.
	4:28pm Picante Mint: Ween's 12 Country Golden Hits is some pretty great country imo.
	4:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:24 i concur /but he's 60s-80s era,
	4:30pm steveo: I got to boogie but wanted to say thanks for the incredible show great interview fantastic tunes have a good rest of your show Mona
	4:31pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Stay In The Shade" by "José González" This is lovely. I am getting Nick Drake vibes.
	4:31pm joe mulligan: ↳ Song: "Stay In The Shade" by "José González" man I loved this album. saw him at bowery ballroom the year it came out, 2006?
	🥀 4:31pm Karl: ↳ Karl @4:27 Scratch that. If it's just two songs then I would pick "The Race is On" over "White Lightning."
	4:35pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" Hell yeah!!
	🥀 4:35pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" One of the tightest tracks known to man 😁
	4:36pm Matty from Brooklyn: That was a great tune. Wasn't familiar, very cool.
	4:36pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Karl @4:27 My boss sings Karaoke to He Stopped Loving Here Today! I know that song!
	4:36pm erik: ↳ joe mulligan @4:31 I think I was at that show too, he opened for someone at Bowery Ballroom, and the crowd hushed.
	4:36pm mariano: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" Amazing video by Toni Basil for this song: www.youtube.com...
	🥀 4:36pm Karl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:36 Of current country singers, Dougie Poole is my favorite, by a large margin. I like some George Strait, but man, I heard those songs so so many more times than I needed to hear them in the 80s and 90s. If you start singing "Oceanfront Property" around me, I'm not responsible for what happens after.
	4:37pm Guy in Solihull UK: Stereo Mcs did a killer UK Breezeblock mix a LOOONG time ago - these tunes right up with this 👍
	🥀 4:39pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @4:37 Used to love Breezeblock
	4:39pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:35 I remember this tour. I couldn’t get into the completely sold out show at the Wollman Rink in Central Park. However, my friends and I scored a spot on a little patch of grass just outside the venue. It was really great.
	🥀 4:39pm Karl: Three key periods for George Jones: his early country rock period (my personal favorite), followed by the Tammy Wynette duets period (also great), and then "written-off as No Show Jones" period. That last period has some amazing gems, even up to pretty late in his life. "Choices" was a really great late Jones song. His version of "I Gotta Get Drunk" is one of the best country songs ever recorded, and it didn't even make the top two you asked for.
	🥀 4:41pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:39 Talking Heads only toured the UK once. I've seen all of them separately but sadly never together.
	🥀 4:42pm Karl: Don't take my word for it, Dave the Spazz did an amazing George Jones tribute show with Matt Fiveash and Gaylord: wfmu.org...
	4:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks for ANOTHER George, George Jones! Hey, the MC5's are TIGHT, I must get one of their CDs. Can you play Revel in Albuquerque??I'd go see you and take my wife also.
	4:42pm Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:39 Heard some great music on that show. Now I've got WFMU to compensate
	🥀 4:42pm Karl: ↳ Song: "Crosseyed and Painless" by "Talking Heads" Remain in Light is a perfect record.
	4:42pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: STEREO MCs sorry! Wrong band!
	4:43pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Good afternoon, folks!
	4:43pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Adi From Sheffield @4:41 A couple of years later I was at one of the Forrest Hills shows during the "Stop Making Sense” tour—fantastic!
	4:44pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Karl @4:42 Indeed.
	4:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Karl @4:42 Every song is a banger on that. I was 12 or 14 when I first heard that in my friend's room on his stereo. It was SO STRANGE to me as all I listened to was Led Zeppelin and The Who.
	4:46pm newton: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:39 Here it is! I was at the one the year before that the B52s opened www.youtube.com...
	4:46pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Karl @4:42 Fool's Paradise spins a number of GJ tracks, especially the alcohol fueled ones.
	4:47pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:46 I LOVE that show! Saturdays, right?
	4:47pm javakid: ↳ mariano @4:36 that was excellent. noticed in the credits that someone who worked w/ Toni Basil on this was a guy by the name of Spazz Attack. He and Basil also worked together on the choreography around Bowie's Glass Spider tour.
	4:47pm joe mulligan: ↳ erik @4:36 oh yeah! and then I think it was the math rock guy don caballero who played after?
	4:48pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ newton @4:46 Thanks!
	4:49pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:47 Yes, after Michael Shelley.
	4:49pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks to Stereo MCs for just hanging out and telling us about cool music! Welcome to the USA, I hope you find some cool records to take back with you. I, too relied on going to obscure thrift shops for records. I found one with odd hours in an episcopal church open only tuesdays and thursdays or something and I ended up wtih some bootlegs!
	4:49pm Noir Lover: Other Music?
	4:50pm joe mulligan: ↳ Noir Lover @4:49 Yup, Other Music was the best
	4:51pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Hubig Pie @4:49 Fool’s Paradise is on a bit later in the day, following TOPT’s show.
	4:52pm Matty from Brooklyn: was that the Tower Records?
	🥀 4:52pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ San Pedro Girl @4:43 Superb tour.
	4:54pm Matty from Brooklyn: Great set, thanks a lot guys! Thames Mona, that was a fun listen!
	4:55pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Matty from Brooklyn @4:52 It was on Broadway, though not a small shop.
	4:56pm San Pedro Girl: Thanks, Mona!
	4:57pm joe mulligan: ↳ Matty from Brooklyn @4:52 Tower Records was catty corner from Other Music. I absolutely love that Tower closed long before Other Music and Other Music lasted longer
	4:58pm Guy in Solihull UK: Enjoyed this v much thanks Mona. Also forgot how good the Stereo's are - great tunes
	4:58pm listener 126464: Good stuff. Thanks much Mona, Rob & Nick.
	4:59pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ joe mulligan @4:57 I think Tower Records was open 24/7? Only new stuff though. Wish I bought Nevermind first pressing there however, its worth a LOT now.
	4:59pm ben & Reba: Thanks Mona, appreciate your show here in Butler PA
	4:59pm luker duker: Tuned in for this, tysm ☕️
	🥀 4:59pm Bobby: I am ready.
	🥀 5:00pm Adi From Sheffield: I had a rare Stereo MC's mix on a Select magazine cover tape. I wish I could remember what it was. I just remember liking it a lot.
	🥀 5:00pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): so cool, thank you mona
	🥀 5:04pm Adi From Sheffield: I've watched quite a few of Lynch's films but realise I know very little about the man himself
	🥀 5:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Snake Eyes" by "Trouble" "YOU REMIND ME TODAY OF A SMALL MEXICAN CHI-WOW-WOW."
	5:09pm northguineahills: so, walked to NH, a house burned, total loss. not sure if anyone lived there, but considering the housing market around here, i doubt it was vacant, unless it was a second home, but it didn't look like one.
	5:11pm San Pedro Girl: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @4:59 24/7 record shopping seemed normal in the 80s when that Tower Records opened. I used to hit the clubs late and would quite often be carousing in the wee hours. Those were good times!
	5:13pm northguineahills: ↳ San Pedro Girl @5:11 somewhat related, there was a club/cafe/gallery record store I would dj at until the wee hours. I would often spend most of the money i made djing on records each night there (i was getting free booze, etc as well)
	🥀 5:13pm bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i'm crying
	5:14pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ northguineahills @5:09 What is the average price of a house in NH there? Its 300k here in Albuquerque.
	5:14pm northguineahills: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @5:13 i'm w/ ya...😂
	5:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:14 not sure, as i'm across the river in VT, but I imagine once you take the zoning differences etc, it's probably about $200k, for large older new england houses.
	5:21pm Lana in Bucks County: Great interview, Super show, beautiful Mona - thank you!
	5:23pm zoezopf: sorry i’m late! joining in from the scottish borders
	5:27pm kuriousornj: thanks Mona, enjoying the music...
	🥀 5:30pm Adi From Sheffield: Staying till the end but coming off the boards to draw. I've had a lousy day so I'm going to take advantage of this set to try and de stress. Thanks Mona 🙏
	🥀 5:31pm Handy Haversack: This set is really doing the work, Mona.
	5:32pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:31 Seriously. If anyone was going to do the ultimate David Lynch tribute show...
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:31 yes, we needs this!
	5:33pm rf: Thanks for the tribute. Stream just went down for me?
	5:33pm northguineahills: ↳ rf @5:33 it's back up
	5:33pm Bill K: ↳ rf @5:33 It's back
	5:33pm courtneynoir: My stream keeps cutting out and making me sadder
	🥀 5:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ rf @5:33 Yeah, VLC flipped me to the RnS stream and I had to put it back here.
	5:34pm rf: yep! thx. DL too great for this world, eh?
	🥀 5:34pm Bobby: ↳ courtneynoir @5:33 Same. Stream is sad and trying to hold it together
	5:34pm Howard & the Cats: Streams has been dropping out for me, too. Wonderful show, Mona, as usual xxxooo
	5:34pm clambake: thought it was my stupid sonos thingie.
	5:35pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Thanks Mona, for this beautiful tribute! Will listen to the archive whether or not the live stream survives ;)
	5:35pm lankylad: goosebumps
	🥀 5:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @5:32 I was surprised by how hard losing him hit me -- and seemed to hit so many others. I think for me at least it also partly exemplifies the enshittification of everything, the lack of control we have over it, and how the world as currently constituted is a big fuck-you to people who, you know, care about things. Lynch was killed by a combo of two of the biggest, shittiest forces in capitalism, tobacco and oil, because we can't have nice things, and just in case we fool ourselves for a while in the dark of the theater into believing we can, they will take it away, and we're left here, not seeing. Llorando indeed.
	5:35pm Mennlinn Rebarts: ↳ Song: "Llorabdo (Crying)" by "Rebekah Del Rio" Lllorando coming through though <3
	5:37pm JB: ↳ Song: "Llorabdo (Crying)" by "Rebekah Del Rio" Whoa mama what a set of lungs! Incredible
	5:37pm rf: waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
	🥀 5:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:35 Kind of like when they realize Rebekah Del Rio was lip-synching and suddenly realize that everything is fake, including them. So, yeah, I guess even in the dark we still see feelingly. Thanks, David. For all. And Mona.
	5:38pm Kevin in Champaign: I knew Mona would bring what we needed today.
	5:38pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:35 It's incredibly sad, it's hit me really hard too. Selfish of me, but I was hoping he had (at least) one more film in him. I don't want to think that his universe now has a definite end in time.
	5:39pm arianne: ❤️
	5:40pm Spikey BXL: Gosh Mona 🥹❤️
	5:40pm mariano: ↳ mariano @5:38 A point after which there will be no more creation, I mean. Obviously his work will live on.
	5:40pm northguineahills: ↳ mariano @5:38 didn't he say he was done w/ film after inland empire? /but yeah, i wanted one more as well.
	5:41pm Paul aka Tamale: Excellent interview and another show hit outta the ballpark! Thanks 👍
	5:42pm mariano: ↳ northguineahills @5:40 Maybe so, I hadn't heard that. I mean, the new Twin Peaks is an 18-hour Lynch film, so I shouldn't kvetch too much.
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ mariano @5:42 that's how he envisioned it...
	5:42pm Mennlinn Rebarts: I've re-watched Twin Peaks the return at least once a year. Each time, the surviving cast is smaller :`(
	5:43pm gauche knee: o my goodness 💔 thank you 🌍
	5:43pm Paul aka Tamale: ↳ Liverpool Andrea @3:01 Mona is the best 👌
	🥀 5:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @5:42 He said he was done with film qua film -- the material substance -- as opposed to digital video.
	5:45pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Here is a go fund me for the beloved Carel Struycken, The Fireman lost his home to the wildfires last week. consequence.net...
	5:46pm lukas: Wonderful tribute!
	5:46pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:44 Yeah, he really went gaga for digital, didn't he? You'd think that someone like him, so steeped in the history of film and filmmaking technique, would be the ultimate film purist.
	5:46pm lankylad: Oof. Thank you Mona. ❤️
	5:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In Heaven (The Lady In The Radiator Song)" by "Da... so, this is where latter mercury rev got their sound...
	5:47pm chresti: Gahh that baby!
	🥀 5:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @5:46 Well, no clean consumption under capitalism. cup.columbia.edu...
	5:48pm courtneynoir: ↳ northguineahills @5:47 🤣
	5:48pm chresti: ↳ Song: "In Heaven (The Lady In The Radiator Song)" by "Da... The striped pillow cover is a nice touch
	5:48pm lukas: One amazing Lynch film is the short on the DVD compilation "Lumiere and Company". What he was able to do with this old camera and super-restrictive rules blows even the other amazing directors on it out of the water.
	5:49pm Kevin in Champaign: When I saw Inland Empire it was in very limited release, only at some downtown theatre there in NYC, and only at one strangely timed showing a day. While watching it, every time there was a clock on the screen...I swear it was the correct time for when and where we were there in EST...
	5:49pm Paul aka Tamale: ↳ Ciggy @3:27 I discovered Fela Kuti when a television station (WNET?) did a profile of him and his songs performed on stage and was instantly mesmerized. His 20 minute songs were entrancing & mesmerizing.
	5:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Kevin in Champaign @5:49 huh, i saw it in nyc...(didn't make that connection)
	🥀 5:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: David Lynch Movie Night at Monty Hall ... what triple feature is playing? 📽️
	5:50pm chresti: Hi Mona and mes amis! Nice David Lynch tribute!
	5:51pm lukas: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @5:50 I still have a soft spot for Wild at Heart, saw it way back in college in a big movie theater.
	5:51pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:48 That looks very interesting. Are your editorial fingerprints on it, by chance?
	5:51pm mariano: ↳ chresti @5:50 Hey, chresti!
	5:51pm common: just watched mulhulland drive. still so creepy and great
	5:52pm chresti: ↳ mariano @5:51 Hi mariano!
	5:52pm northguineahills: man, b/tn stereo mcs and the david tribute, it's been a tour de force, thanks a bundle, mona!
	🥀 5:52pm Bobby: Thanks Mona you’re the DJ for us
	🥀 5:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ mariano @5:51 Oh, a few.
	🥀 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Mona, this was needed. And how. You're still the champ, and there's no contest. Many, many thanks!
	5:54pm Mona: thank you friends, was really nice to heartache with you - thanks to stereo mcs for the gorgeous set over the first two hours. see you next week?? same time same place?
	5:54pm ??: Mystery and detectives and cinema relate one hundred percent to life. Most of us, we don’t know where we were before we were born. We don’t know for sure where we’re going after. We don’t know why we’re here. We don’t know much about anything. We’re floating on a ball in something they call a universe on the edge of a galaxy with about 100 or 200 billion suns… And we are going to football games and watching TV. It’s like pretty crazy. That’s the way it is. — David Lynch (from his Masterclass)
	5:54pm mariano: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:53 I'll dust off my deerstalker and magnifying glass!
	🥀 5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Mona! ⭐
	5:55pm Spikey BXL: You just pushed me over the edge, getting a Belgian artists' limited Eraserhead comic poster for my office space at home. Thanks Mona
	5:55pm mariano: Thank you so much, Mona. Knocked it out of the park. What a wonderful tribute to David Lynch.
	🥀 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Before it's too late: free Leonard Peltier!
	5:56pm word: 🖤
	5:57pm Andres: Thanks, Mona. Great show. Wonderful tribute. Working on expanding that consciousness.
	🥀 5:57pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Mona! happy weekend, all!
