	♥ 7:27pm northguineahills: The US sent 3 USAid employees.
	7:28pm peter: here's a fundraiser that friends of mine have been recommending: https://www.gofundme.com/f/h7fg8y-earthquake-relief-for-myanmar-urgent-support-needed

	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:33pm slugluv1313: ↳ peter @7:28 thank you peter!
	♥ 7:34pm Gary: Pot8o!
	♥ 7:34pm northguineahills: most people from burma, still refer to it as burma, as the SLORC military coup renamed in myanmar when they took over in 1989....
	7:35pm Bryan the Interloper: Direct Relief is an option for donations: www.directrelief.org...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:35pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Ko Seinkar's Maya Forest" by "May Swi" fantastic. Sounds like my fav singer Daw Yi Yi Thant, who did court music mostly, I think
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:36pm Listener Gregory: I haven't listened at all yet, but just warning Gary that I will start listening in a minute, to give him fair warning.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 Also, good evening, all.
	♥ 7:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 you're not supposed to do that. you're supposed to take him by surprise! 😉
	♥ 7:37pm Gary: ↳ Bryan the Interloper @7:35 Bryan! Thank you!
	♥ 7:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ko Seinkar's Maya Forest" by "May Swi" i'm going to ask for 'shrimp baby goat' the next time i'm at a burmese restaurant.
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: Gregory!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:38pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:37 Truth be told, I don't want to know what trouble he's been mixed up in.
	7:39pm peter: google translate is still pretty useless for burmese, haha.. though, as you say, somewhat thought-provoking
	♥ 7:41pm northguineahills: ↳ peter @7:39 it's very less than perfect for spanish, so, extrapolating, most other languages as well....
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:44pm mackeral: elements of the court form here? the plucked harp, which ends up getting imitated by the piano. Note, I'm prone to wild guesses
	7:48pm mic_a: Hello Gary and bopos! Mmmm, cassette goodness.
	♥ 7:48pm Gary: Mic_a!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:48pm Alex from Media: Hey Gary and Bodega shoppers! Been listening with half an ear. Now to sit down and focus.
	♥ 7:49pm Gary: Alex!
	7:49pm peter: ↳ mackeral @7:44 i think you're right! from what i understand, this classical-pop style is commonly known as "mono" (in contrast to the more cosmopolitan pop style, "stereo") and has some influence from the classical mahagita corpus
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:52pm mackeral: ↳ peter @7:49 oh wow, cool. I'd love to have a source for a bunch of mono, then. I find it so calming.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:54pm mackeral: gift link to a 1958 The Atlantic article on Burmese music: www.theatlantic.com...
	♥ 7:55pm Gary: ↳ mackeral @7:54 whoa, thank you, Mackeral!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:57pm Alex from Media: Thanks mackeral and peter. Now combing the internet for info on the Maha Gita. Plus your link. Also found this, seems to be part of an educational series. library.fiveable.me...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:59pm mackeral: ↳ Alex from Media @7:57 oh cool! I'm going to sit with this. A widely available Mahagita record is www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:02pm TDK60: Hello Gary, popsters.
	♥ 8:02pm Gary: TDK!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:04pm chresti: I am listening and watching two baby eagles in their nest while ma and pa eagle are taking care of some pesky ravens or what have you nearby
	♥ 8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: when my family moved to a new house the previous owners left a copy of animal farm which was an early experience of really sinking into a book… shortly after read “burmese days” by orwell….which was a devastating account of how colonization eroded the souls of the colonizers...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:05pm Alex from Media: Maybe shrimp baby goat just means little baby goat?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:06pm Alex from Media: ↳ mackeral @7:59 Thx
	♥ 8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @8:05 or something like this… www.horniman.ac.uk...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:09pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 That's gonna show up in a nightmare tongiht fer sher.
	♥ 8:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @8:09 try not to eat spicy food before bedtime… ; )
	8:12pm Bryan the Interloper: Chresti: webcam, or watching in person?
	♥ 8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Don't Look Back and Keep Loving" by "Nay Nhang Lh... i am hearing abba in this plus something else...
	8:14pm Listener Gregory: This is lively!
	8:16pm mic_a: I'm hearing threads of 1960s LA folk rock in some of these.
	♥ 8:20pm TDK60: I am hearing tape running. All is well. Sorta.
	8:20pm mic_a: And this one's really pushing that button.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ TDK60 @8:20 How can you tell its tape? The quavering?
	♥ 8:23pm TDK60: Evenin' Alex de M. The radio personality running this show told us so, up there at the top.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:25pm Alex from Media: ↳ TDK60 @8:23 Well then, thought I was about to learn real audiophile stuff for a second...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Orange Thread" by "Hk Yao Pyuan" Is this a cover of an English-language song? It sounds very familiar.
	8:27pm pot8o (on public computer): i like how some of the titles make sense, but only some (shame we don't have someone who speaks burmese)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ TDK60 @8:23 You're not supposed to give away the audiophile secrets!
	8:27pm mic_a: This one sure is!
	8:28pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "I've Got It" by "May Hk Lar" are they singing over a karaoke version? not being facetious or something like that, the instrumental sounds slightly off-kilter quality wise, like it doesn't match the acoustics of the vocals
	8:29pm mic_a: When my tinnitus was in its earliest stage, it sounded like subtle tape hiss, and I kinda liked it actually. It was nice to think of the whole world getting filtered through a casstte deck.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:29pm mackeral: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 sounds like what James Baldwin used to say
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:29pm chresti: ↳ Song: "I've Got It" by "May Hk Lar" Hey Mini
	8:29pm Dean: I've been lurking while corresponding with a student about the fascinating topic (really!) of methods for discerning legislative intent. @mackeral: Howdy. @tim abdellah: I wish I'd known you were at Amoeba. Woulda strolled down. I wonder if Toni Basil ever heard this.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:30pm chresti: or Mimi
	♥ 8:30pm Gary: Dean!
	8:31pm mic_a: Dean! A new article on Marx translations: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n06/peter-e.-gordon/hair-splitting
	♥ 8:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Place I found Is My Home" by "Kyaw Thura" i like the cumbia-like distortion...
	♥ 8:33pm TDK60: ↳ Alex from Media @8:25 Audiophile? Me? Nah. Ears are far too hissy
	8:34pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "The Place I found Is My Home" by "Kyaw Thura" oddly haunting
	8:35pm Dean: Fantastic, @mic_a! Thank you. Was reading the Fowkes on the bus home. I have no problem with it as an end-user, but I know approximately fünf words of German, so I can't evaluate its accuracy. I'm eager to compare the new one, though I might not have the wherewithal to plow through the whole thing again. Perhaps this LRB will help.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:35pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @8:29 federal or California? deriving legislative intent, I love it
	8:37pm Dean: Federal. State, as you know, is another level of difficulty. One student had a great question during class that I had to investigate after class.
	8:40pm Dean: Re: audiophile, @TDK60, believe me, everybody is an audiophile. Even those of us still hard of hearing from that Zeke show, Seattle, c.95.
	♥ 8:45pm TDK60: ↳ Dean @8:40 Hi Dean. I try to listen. And 'audiophile' means lover of audio, eh? That's better than audiophobe I suppose. Tho, I have heard audio on occasion that gave me the cheezit willies.
	8:50pm mic_a: Theeere's the folk rock again.
	8:51pm mic_a: Which is fine by me.
	♥ 8:52pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Sweet and Bitter Love" by "Playboy Than Nain" Ah, catch the melody. C'mon class. Multiple choice: __ __ __
	8:52pm Listener Gregory: Come on, people now!
	8:52pm mic_a: Smile on your brother.
	8:56pm mic_a: It does leave me wondering how that particular scene came to have such an apparently large influence?
	♥ 8:56pm TDK60: Get Together - best known by The Youngbloods. Tho, Jefferson Airplane recorded it a bit prior. Written by Chet Powers (Dino Valenti) later of Quicksilver M.S.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:57pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Sweet and Bitter Love" by "Playboy Than Nain" everybody get together
	8:58pm Dean: Lover of sound, I suppose. (And just wow! The word "audio," which strikes me as ancient Latin, emerged in the 20thC, and it relates to sound reproduction gear. I had no idea.) I say everybody is an audiophile, because we're all capable of appreciating, more or less, reproductions of performances in terms of how "natural" (begs the question) they sound. The narrower take on "audiophile" has to do with "fidelity" to the original performance, which is of course irrecoverable. But I know that anybody who bothers to compare, say, this turntable with that one, will discern a difference, or perhaps will not! Doesn't matter.
	♥ 9:02pm TDK60: ↳ Dean @8:58 Yeah, I can hear if an LP sounds fresh as the north wind, or instead, it sounds rough as a volcano field, indicating one too many of yesterday's partees.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:02pm Alex from Media: ↳ Dean @8:58 I have always taken it to refer to persons who have a higher ability to discern sound (eg people who can tell digital from analog sound). Like a supertaster. Having some tasting training and seeing the benefits of being cued on learning to perceive I look forward to commentary here. "Did you hear that" sort of comments, trying to increase my sensitivity.
	9:03pm Dean: "Audio" is new, but consider "audience," for which we find in OED this etymological association: Anglo-Norman and Middle French audience (French audience) range or sphere of hearing (second half of the 12th cent. in Old French, earliest in en audience audibly; obsolete after the early 18th cent.), formal interview or hearing (a1280 or earlier; end of the 13th cent. or earlier in specific sense ‘judicial hearing’), attention (1309), opportunity to be heard at a formal interview (1316), lecture (1372 in an apparently isolated attestation), room where formal hearings are held, courtroom (1452; obsolete after the Middle French period)...
	9:05pm Bryan the Interloper: fascinating for us etymology nerds, Dean!
	9:11pm Listener Gregory: Mono refers to one speaker, but stereo actually means, not two, but “solid,” or 3-dimensional. In vision research, “stereo” refers to seeing all three dimensions (and depth in particular). News you can use!
	9:11pm Dean: @Alex from Media: I know of whom you speak, the so-called Golden Ears experts, who ran and continue to run a good scam, leveraging to their advantage the reasonable epistemological uncertainty that is common to human cognition. My crude example: I recently visited a stereo gear supplier in Orange County, CA. Had a great time, bought some killer records. Of particular interest to me, though, was the fact that the store peddles a pair of amplifiers with a $0.3M price tag. Ordinarily, I would want to hear such gear, but in fact I have never been a fan of this particular manufacturer's gear. Thus, if you offered me a free pair of those amplifiers, I might or might not accept them, because frankly, the amps I want run a mere $90K/pair.
	9:12pm mic_a: Crimson & Clover!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:13pm chresti: Listening listener
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:13pm chresti: ↳ mic_a @9:12 Ding ding ding!
	9:14pm mic_a: Which came first? Crimson & Clover or Sweet Jane?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:15pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Boyfriend's Cigarettes" by "May Hk Lar" is this the Miami Vice theme?
	9:17pm Dean: Miami Vice?! I think you mean Mission: Plausible.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:17pm mackeral: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:11 and I've learned that "mono" is the name of a classical-pop hybrid in Burmese music!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:19pm slugluv1313: ↳ mic_a @9:14 hi mic_a! Crimson and Clover is from the 60s, but Boyfriend's Cigarettes sure does sound like both songs! (unless -- Sweet Jane was written earlier but not recorded until later?)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:19pm chresti: Hmmm crimson and clover?
	9:20pm Listener Gregory: @dean, I read recently that Tom Brady wears a $700,000 watch. What??? (Also see our Homeland Security Secy’s gold Rolex.) Amplifiers of that cost are not purchased because of the sound, any more than those watches are bought because of how well they tell time.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:19 My feeling is that the chord progression in Sweet Jane dates to prehistory.
	9:25pm Dean: @LG: Absolutely yes. στερεός = solid. This is marvelous, because over the years I have played records on more or less decent systems and the effect has been stunning. "OMG, Hamza El Din is performing in my fucking living room!" I must disagree about commodities "of that cost." Quite often, but not always, they offer improvement. This works for stereo gear, not so much for clocks, unless like me you calibrate your digital calendar to attoseconds. I need pinpoint precision.
	9:26pm Dean: Also, who is Tom Brady? Football, I think?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:29pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Sorry" by "May Hk Lar" These May Hk Lar tunes are standing out.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:30pm chresti: ↳ Song: "A Fork in the Country Road" by "Thu Maung" I think our neighbour is growing Mua hang
	9:30pm Carmichael: Heya Gary , heya neighborhood.
	♥ 9:30pm Gary: Carmichael!
	9:30pm Listener Gregory: @dean: Just to be pedantic, I didn’t say that more expensive components don’t sound better (they sometimes do), but that those super-priced ones aren’t bought because they sound better. As to Tom Brady, I will not dignify your question with an answer. I am a New Englander.
	9:31pm Listener Gregory: Gary, great show tonight… and I actually mean it this time. However, I have to go now, so you can slack off if you like. Thanks as always!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:34pm pot8o: i can hear you loud and clear!
	9:34pm rw: Gary!!
	9:34pm asheville jon: Yes, can hear you
	9:35pm rw: How’s it going? Your radio show is sounding great! Thank you! Hello everyone.
	9:36pm peter: ↳ mackeral @7:52 hey sorry, back home now after listening along in the car! မိုနို is the burmese spelling for "mono" if you wanna search out youtube playlists or the like.. also i think it's called "mono" because it's the (only) music played on national radio, whereas "stereo" was the underground subversive rock-type stuff you'd have to play on your personal stereo.. i think both terms are a bit dated now, however
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:37pm mackeral: gotta split, but will finish this up from the archive. thanks Gary! later, Dean et al
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: Evening, RW and Asheville Jon!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:38pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "The Little Boy Laughed "Doo Doo Dong"" by "Myint ... very Mahagita
	9:39pm mic_a: Swimming back from the Land of Nod for a moment. It looks like the earliest version of Sweet Jane is 1969 (not released at the time); Crimson & Clover 1968.
	9:40pm mic_a: And now I must say good night. Thanks Gary! Best wishes all.
	♥ 9:41pm Gary: Night, kids who are heading out!
	♥ 9:43pm Gary: For those of you sticking around, Sam Segal will be here in 17 minutes with his always-already timeless program If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: "The Man Sits in a Timelessness with the Horse Under Him in Time" wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:48pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Lost in the Magical Forest" by "Myo Myint Lay" Woa she went under water!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:49pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:48 for a second
	♥ 9:53pm TDK60: Thanks, Gary. Night all.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:53pm Alex from Media: Thanks Gary! Cheers chat!
	9:54pm Dean: This is convenient. NYT today(?) reports on the discovery of a Beatles demo heretofore unknown. "Right away, we’re all kind of looking at each other," Frith said. 'It seems like the Beatles are in the room. That’s how clear it is." And: "'The fidelity is astounding,' Hennessey said." We are all audiophiles.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:55pm chresti: Thannks Gary!
	9:56pm Carmichael: Thanks Gary
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm pot8o: thanks gary! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 9:58pm Gary: Thanks and have a great night, everyone!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:59pm slugluv1313: amazing, as always, Gary -- thanks so much! (going to explore more for Sai Sai Maw -- but when i am not so sleepy! "Infamous Man" is a knockout! 😺😺) good night, everyone!

	7:35pm Bryan the Interloper: Direct Relief is an option for donations: www.directrelief.org...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:35pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Ko Seinkar's Maya Forest" by "May Swi" fantastic. Sounds like my fav singer Daw Yi Yi Thant, who did court music mostly, I think
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:36pm Listener Gregory: I haven't listened at all yet, but just warning Gary that I will start listening in a minute, to give him fair warning.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:36pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 Also, good evening, all.
	♥ 7:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:36 you're not supposed to do that. you're supposed to take him by surprise! 😉
	♥ 7:37pm Gary: ↳ Bryan the Interloper @7:35 Bryan! Thank you!
	♥ 7:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ko Seinkar's Maya Forest" by "May Swi" i'm going to ask for 'shrimp baby goat' the next time i'm at a burmese restaurant.
	♥ 7:38pm Gary: Gregory!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:38pm Listener Gregory: ↳ northguineahills @7:37 Truth be told, I don't want to know what trouble he's been mixed up in.
	7:39pm peter: google translate is still pretty useless for burmese, haha.. though, as you say, somewhat thought-provoking
	♥ 7:41pm northguineahills: ↳ peter @7:39 it's very less than perfect for spanish, so, extrapolating, most other languages as well....
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:44pm mackeral: elements of the court form here? the plucked harp, which ends up getting imitated by the piano. Note, I'm prone to wild guesses
	7:48pm mic_a: Hello Gary and bopos! Mmmm, cassette goodness.
	♥ 7:48pm Gary: Mic_a!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:48pm Alex from Media: Hey Gary and Bodega shoppers! Been listening with half an ear. Now to sit down and focus.
	♥ 7:49pm Gary: Alex!
	7:49pm peter: ↳ mackeral @7:44 i think you're right! from what i understand, this classical-pop style is commonly known as "mono" (in contrast to the more cosmopolitan pop style, "stereo") and has some influence from the classical mahagita corpus
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:52pm mackeral: ↳ peter @7:49 oh wow, cool. I'd love to have a source for a bunch of mono, then. I find it so calming.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:54pm mackeral: gift link to a 1958 The Atlantic article on Burmese music: www.theatlantic.com...
	♥ 7:55pm Gary: ↳ mackeral @7:54 whoa, thank you, Mackeral!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:57pm Alex from Media: Thanks mackeral and peter. Now combing the internet for info on the Maha Gita. Plus your link. Also found this, seems to be part of an educational series. library.fiveable.me...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:59pm mackeral: ↳ Alex from Media @7:57 oh cool! I'm going to sit with this. A widely available Mahagita record is www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:02pm TDK60: Hello Gary, popsters.
	♥ 8:02pm Gary: TDK!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:04pm chresti: I am listening and watching two baby eagles in their nest while ma and pa eagle are taking care of some pesky ravens or what have you nearby
	♥ 8:04pm tom tom the pipers son: when my family moved to a new house the previous owners left a copy of animal farm which was an early experience of really sinking into a book… shortly after read “burmese days” by orwell….which was a devastating account of how colonization eroded the souls of the colonizers...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:05pm Alex from Media: Maybe shrimp baby goat just means little baby goat?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:06pm Alex from Media: ↳ mackeral @7:59 Thx
	♥ 8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @8:05 or something like this… www.horniman.ac.uk...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:09pm Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 That's gonna show up in a nightmare tongiht fer sher.
	♥ 8:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @8:09 try not to eat spicy food before bedtime… ; )
	8:12pm Bryan the Interloper: Chresti: webcam, or watching in person?
	♥ 8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Don't Look Back and Keep Loving" by "Nay Nhang Lh... i am hearing abba in this plus something else...
	8:14pm Listener Gregory: This is lively!
	8:16pm mic_a: I'm hearing threads of 1960s LA folk rock in some of these.
	♥ 8:20pm TDK60: I am hearing tape running. All is well. Sorta.
	8:20pm mic_a: And this one's really pushing that button.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ TDK60 @8:20 How can you tell its tape? The quavering?
	♥ 8:23pm TDK60: Evenin' Alex de M. The radio personality running this show told us so, up there at the top.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:25pm Alex from Media: ↳ TDK60 @8:23 Well then, thought I was about to learn real audiophile stuff for a second...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:26pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Orange Thread" by "Hk Yao Pyuan" Is this a cover of an English-language song? It sounds very familiar.
	8:27pm pot8o (on public computer): i like how some of the titles make sense, but only some (shame we don't have someone who speaks burmese)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ TDK60 @8:23 You're not supposed to give away the audiophile secrets!
	8:27pm mic_a: This one sure is!
	8:28pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "I've Got It" by "May Hk Lar" are they singing over a karaoke version? not being facetious or something like that, the instrumental sounds slightly off-kilter quality wise, like it doesn't match the acoustics of the vocals
	8:29pm mic_a: When my tinnitus was in its earliest stage, it sounded like subtle tape hiss, and I kinda liked it actually. It was nice to think of the whole world getting filtered through a casstte deck.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:29pm mackeral: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 sounds like what James Baldwin used to say
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:29pm chresti: ↳ Song: "I've Got It" by "May Hk Lar" Hey Mini
	8:29pm Dean: I've been lurking while corresponding with a student about the fascinating topic (really!) of methods for discerning legislative intent. @mackeral: Howdy. @tim abdellah: I wish I'd known you were at Amoeba. Woulda strolled down. I wonder if Toni Basil ever heard this.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:30pm chresti: or Mimi
	♥ 8:30pm Gary: Dean!
	8:31pm mic_a: Dean! A new article on Marx translations: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n06/peter-e.-gordon/hair-splitting
	♥ 8:32pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Place I found Is My Home" by "Kyaw Thura" i like the cumbia-like distortion...
	♥ 8:33pm TDK60: ↳ Alex from Media @8:25 Audiophile? Me? Nah. Ears are far too hissy
	8:34pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "The Place I found Is My Home" by "Kyaw Thura" oddly haunting
	8:35pm Dean: Fantastic, @mic_a! Thank you. Was reading the Fowkes on the bus home. I have no problem with it as an end-user, but I know approximately fünf words of German, so I can't evaluate its accuracy. I'm eager to compare the new one, though I might not have the wherewithal to plow through the whole thing again. Perhaps this LRB will help.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:35pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @8:29 federal or California? deriving legislative intent, I love it
	8:37pm Dean: Federal. State, as you know, is another level of difficulty. One student had a great question during class that I had to investigate after class.
	8:40pm Dean: Re: audiophile, @TDK60, believe me, everybody is an audiophile. Even those of us still hard of hearing from that Zeke show, Seattle, c.95.
	♥ 8:45pm TDK60: ↳ Dean @8:40 Hi Dean. I try to listen. And 'audiophile' means lover of audio, eh? That's better than audiophobe I suppose. Tho, I have heard audio on occasion that gave me the cheezit willies.
	8:50pm mic_a: Theeere's the folk rock again.
	8:51pm mic_a: Which is fine by me.
	♥ 8:52pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Sweet and Bitter Love" by "Playboy Than Nain" Ah, catch the melody. C'mon class. Multiple choice: __ __ __
	8:52pm Listener Gregory: Come on, people now!
	8:52pm mic_a: Smile on your brother.
	8:56pm mic_a: It does leave me wondering how that particular scene came to have such an apparently large influence?
	♥ 8:56pm TDK60: Get Together - best known by The Youngbloods. Tho, Jefferson Airplane recorded it a bit prior. Written by Chet Powers (Dino Valenti) later of Quicksilver M.S.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:57pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Sweet and Bitter Love" by "Playboy Than Nain" everybody get together
	8:58pm Dean: Lover of sound, I suppose. (And just wow! The word "audio," which strikes me as ancient Latin, emerged in the 20thC, and it relates to sound reproduction gear. I had no idea.) I say everybody is an audiophile, because we're all capable of appreciating, more or less, reproductions of performances in terms of how "natural" (begs the question) they sound. The narrower take on "audiophile" has to do with "fidelity" to the original performance, which is of course irrecoverable. But I know that anybody who bothers to compare, say, this turntable with that one, will discern a difference, or perhaps will not! Doesn't matter.
	♥ 9:02pm TDK60: ↳ Dean @8:58 Yeah, I can hear if an LP sounds fresh as the north wind, or instead, it sounds rough as a volcano field, indicating one too many of yesterday's partees.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:02pm Alex from Media: ↳ Dean @8:58 I have always taken it to refer to persons who have a higher ability to discern sound (eg people who can tell digital from analog sound). Like a supertaster. Having some tasting training and seeing the benefits of being cued on learning to perceive I look forward to commentary here. "Did you hear that" sort of comments, trying to increase my sensitivity.
	9:03pm Dean: "Audio" is new, but consider "audience," for which we find in OED this etymological association: Anglo-Norman and Middle French audience (French audience) range or sphere of hearing (second half of the 12th cent. in Old French, earliest in en audience audibly; obsolete after the early 18th cent.), formal interview or hearing (a1280 or earlier; end of the 13th cent. or earlier in specific sense ‘judicial hearing’), attention (1309), opportunity to be heard at a formal interview (1316), lecture (1372 in an apparently isolated attestation), room where formal hearings are held, courtroom (1452; obsolete after the Middle French period)...
	9:05pm Bryan the Interloper: fascinating for us etymology nerds, Dean!
	9:11pm Listener Gregory: Mono refers to one speaker, but stereo actually means, not two, but “solid,” or 3-dimensional. In vision research, “stereo” refers to seeing all three dimensions (and depth in particular). News you can use!
	9:11pm Dean: @Alex from Media: I know of whom you speak, the so-called Golden Ears experts, who ran and continue to run a good scam, leveraging to their advantage the reasonable epistemological uncertainty that is common to human cognition. My crude example: I recently visited a stereo gear supplier in Orange County, CA. Had a great time, bought some killer records. Of particular interest to me, though, was the fact that the store peddles a pair of amplifiers with a $0.3M price tag. Ordinarily, I would want to hear such gear, but in fact I have never been a fan of this particular manufacturer's gear. Thus, if you offered me a free pair of those amplifiers, I might or might not accept them, because frankly, the amps I want run a mere $90K/pair.
	9:12pm mic_a: Crimson & Clover!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:13pm chresti: Listening listener
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:13pm chresti: ↳ mic_a @9:12 Ding ding ding!
	9:14pm mic_a: Which came first? Crimson & Clover or Sweet Jane?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:15pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Boyfriend's Cigarettes" by "May Hk Lar" is this the Miami Vice theme?
	9:17pm Dean: Miami Vice?! I think you mean Mission: Plausible.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:17pm mackeral: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:11 and I've learned that "mono" is the name of a classical-pop hybrid in Burmese music!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:19pm slugluv1313: ↳ mic_a @9:14 hi mic_a! Crimson and Clover is from the 60s, but Boyfriend's Cigarettes sure does sound like both songs! (unless -- Sweet Jane was written earlier but not recorded until later?)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:19pm chresti: Hmmm crimson and clover?
	9:20pm Listener Gregory: @dean, I read recently that Tom Brady wears a $700,000 watch. What??? (Also see our Homeland Security Secy’s gold Rolex.) Amplifiers of that cost are not purchased because of the sound, any more than those watches are bought because of how well they tell time.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:19 My feeling is that the chord progression in Sweet Jane dates to prehistory.
	9:25pm Dean: @LG: Absolutely yes. στερεός = solid. This is marvelous, because over the years I have played records on more or less decent systems and the effect has been stunning. "OMG, Hamza El Din is performing in my fucking living room!" I must disagree about commodities "of that cost." Quite often, but not always, they offer improvement. This works for stereo gear, not so much for clocks, unless like me you calibrate your digital calendar to attoseconds. I need pinpoint precision.
	9:26pm Dean: Also, who is Tom Brady? Football, I think?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:29pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Sorry" by "May Hk Lar" These May Hk Lar tunes are standing out.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:30pm chresti: ↳ Song: "A Fork in the Country Road" by "Thu Maung" I think our neighbour is growing Mua hang
	9:30pm Carmichael: Heya Gary , heya neighborhood.
	♥ 9:30pm Gary: Carmichael!
	9:30pm Listener Gregory: @dean: Just to be pedantic, I didn’t say that more expensive components don’t sound better (they sometimes do), but that those super-priced ones aren’t bought because they sound better. As to Tom Brady, I will not dignify your question with an answer. I am a New Englander.
	9:31pm Listener Gregory: Gary, great show tonight… and I actually mean it this time. However, I have to go now, so you can slack off if you like. Thanks as always!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:34pm pot8o: i can hear you loud and clear!
	9:34pm rw: Gary!!
	9:34pm asheville jon: Yes, can hear you
	9:35pm rw: How’s it going? Your radio show is sounding great! Thank you! Hello everyone.
	9:36pm peter: ↳ mackeral @7:52 hey sorry, back home now after listening along in the car! မိုနို is the burmese spelling for "mono" if you wanna search out youtube playlists or the like.. also i think it's called "mono" because it's the (only) music played on national radio, whereas "stereo" was the underground subversive rock-type stuff you'd have to play on your personal stereo.. i think both terms are a bit dated now, however
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:37pm mackeral: gotta split, but will finish this up from the archive. thanks Gary! later, Dean et al
	♥ 9:37pm Gary: Evening, RW and Asheville Jon!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:38pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "The Little Boy Laughed "Doo Doo Dong"" by "Myint ... very Mahagita
	9:39pm mic_a: Swimming back from the Land of Nod for a moment. It looks like the earliest version of Sweet Jane is 1969 (not released at the time); Crimson & Clover 1968.
	9:40pm mic_a: And now I must say good night. Thanks Gary! Best wishes all.
	♥ 9:41pm Gary: Night, kids who are heading out!
	♥ 9:43pm Gary: For those of you sticking around, Sam Segal will be here in 17 minutes with his always-already timeless program If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's episode: "The Man Sits in a Timelessness with the Horse Under Him in Time" wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:48pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Lost in the Magical Forest" by "Myo Myint Lay" Woa she went under water!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:49pm chresti: ↳ chresti @9:48 for a second
	♥ 9:53pm TDK60: Thanks, Gary. Night all.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:53pm Alex from Media: Thanks Gary! Cheers chat!
	9:54pm Dean: This is convenient. NYT today(?) reports on the discovery of a Beatles demo heretofore unknown. "Right away, we’re all kind of looking at each other," Frith said. 'It seems like the Beatles are in the room. That’s how clear it is." And: "'The fidelity is astounding,' Hennessey said." We are all audiophiles.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:55pm chresti: Thannks Gary!
	9:56pm Carmichael: Thanks Gary
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm pot8o: thanks gary! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 9:58pm Gary: Thanks and have a great night, everyone!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:59pm slugluv1313: amazing, as always, Gary -- thanks so much! (going to explore more for Sai Sai Maw -- but when i am not so sleepy! "Infamous Man" is a knockout! 😺😺) good night, everyone!
