	6:14am bibi: thx meghan. worth a cover.
	6:15am Matt from Springfield: Hi Guido! Always "Four Ay Dee" (Four A. D.) but a non-English announcer might have flubbed it.
	6:15am bibi: the bulgarian choir was great. somehow reminded me of the brilliant theme from ghost in the shell.
	6:17am KP: En réalité, since moving to city i have reluctantly become a boring dayside person. It has had traumatic effect on my WFMU experience.

	6:36am coalhard: could you play some Johnny Cash he also stepped into a ring of fire
	6:36am Matt from Springfield: TZAG, RRN63! 5CE was just a rip-off that came after...
	6:37am Guido (Cologne): Facing the Other Way: The Story of 4AD ?
	6:38am Meghan: 4ad.com...
	6:38am Matt from Springfield: Only 600?? Well I guess a Cliff Notes history would be helpful...
	6:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - 4ADs visual sense - coveted promo stuff awlright...
	6:39am fred: @bibi: There's a picture at the top of their bandcamp that still shows the old name: couteautwin.bandcamp.com
	6:43am bibi: @fred, thx first extract sounds real good, but now j'ai faim je file.
	6:46am Guido (Cologne): He is te SON OF IVOR RAYMONDE? !!!

	6:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...people for whom Punk was over by '77 & the albums came out...
	7:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - always interesting to me how Artists perceive their own oeuvre differently from the 'inside' then we do on the 'outside'... ...reminded of Joe Strummer observing that when you have the right chemistry w/ others - that is the rarest & must be treasured, & he regrets that... - This is excellent ! Way to go Meghan ! - Thx.
	7:08am Julie: I want CT lyrics!!
	7:11am glenn: anything for you, julie. www.lyricsfreak.com...
	7:12am Julie: those are probably the "interpretations" he was talking about
	7:18am KP: I'm the same way about box sets. I love them all and open none.
	7:19am KP: Frosty the Snowman?
	7:20am Guido (Cologne): Great interview! ... and exactly Nick the Stripper .. ... bst song from prayers on fire
	7:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - would you agree that Birthday Party is underrated as one of thee great Live bands... / craziest & most intense Live scenes ?...
	7:20am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Yay! You asked my question!
	7:21am glenn: especially bear family box sets. they're so expensive that you want to just frame them and put them on the wall.
	7:21am P-90: "...signed a two-page contract back in '82...." --cringe!
	7:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he's certainly the opposite of a difficult & cranky interview here !...
	7:24am Guido (Cologne): ... if I ever had seen them live I'd possibly agree. It is so embarrassing what i missed!! i was too young
	7:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - I of course only know from Video & some writing...
	7:25am Guido (Cologne): A lo of bands aren't satisfied about what their fans think is their best work.
	7:26am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I wonder how many bands broke up after going into a studio without prep.
	7:26am Guido (Cologne): Video .. good idea! I still try to tell people to consider birthday Party ... not always nick Cave a.t.B.S.
	7:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - on one hand the Artist of course knows better - on the other hand no one has less perspective than the Artist !...
	7:28am KP: That was a great Valentine's Day show
	7:31am Guido (Cologne): Anyone familiar with Matt Johnson's "Burning Blue Soul"? (also 4AD some 1981 or so) I'm not at all in all the other The The, but that one was marvelous! Lotsa tape-looping and stuff ...
	7:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - wasn't Matt in his teens still & did it all on a 4-track in his room or something - ?! Great album.
	7:33am Meghan: funny you mention that..... it's up next....
	7:33am KP: Genius really.
	7:35am Meghan: I'm a huge The The fan.... and I absolutely love that album......
	7:37am Guido (Cologne): Proofs you're really into it Meghan! Some Wire-People were involved I red in Wikipedia.
	7:41am fred: That Matt Johnson track is new to me and clicky-starred
	7:43am KP: Agree, Fred
	7:44am groucho: Sorry I'm late, too busy to read back through the comments, has anyone mentioned 4AD 3D CD by Half Man Half Biscuit? they should have. Hello by the way.
	7:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '81 was pretty early & 'Burning Blue Soul' had real impact: you heard it & replayed it in your mind. Very surprised you don't know it fred - your knowledge generally shames me !
	7:51am KP: The The was Was Not Was?
	7:51am Chris - echolalia radio: Love that Ultra Vivid Scene track. Suburb show. Sweet mix.
	7:51am KP: Hey I dropped mine off in person
	7:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...terrifying to think that there were only 13 years between 'Electric Ladyland' & 'Burning Blue Soul' - but 33 years between 'BBSoul' & now - but it makes sense...
	7:53am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Common Meghan... "not a big fan". Be a bit more harsh. :-)
	7:53am KP: I was surprised to see the pixies listed among the 4AD bands.
	7:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - I liked RedHousePainters - but I like FolkRawk & have a deffo glum side...
	7:56am fred von helsing: 4bc would be a Christian label so I guess 4ad must be satanic ?
	7:57am Meghan: KP, who did you drop it off with? Chris, so glad you are enjoying the show!
	7:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ADADADAD - that's 4 'ad''s - everything on our label has two chords ...& we all have ADD - & OCD too: everything has to be perfect - but just for minute...
	8:00am Guido (Cologne): I think the Pixies were also not really into the 4AD-artworks, as far it suits the music.
	8:01am Guido (Cologne): Like LedZep were huge Joni Mitchell fans.
	8:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - this is a great example of the inside/outside thing - as the Visual Sense on 4AD was such a big deal !...
	8:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - lotsa Folk & Acoustic in Zep.
	8:05am Guido (Cologne): the Doors opening act for Captain Beefheart or the Turtles.
	8:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...their version of the Pistols in Texas ...I wish I could see Doors & Beefheart !
	8:13am KP: Meghan, there's the rub. it was after 5 pm and i went upstairs and saw like four younger people (not that they are all that way to me) whom i did recognize sitting around the round table in the volunteer. i asked them to drop it off and they seemed actively disinterested. However i did see both Chris and Scot on way out and they might have more info. In any event it would be easy to run off another, which i was going to do anyway, since i saw it as a keeper.
	8:15am Meghan: yeah.... that is sooooo not helpful! They were most likely drunk or on their way to getting drunk. I don't know if I will find it, to be honest.....
	8:17am KP: In retrospect that seems an accurate assessment. i'll start on new one. That one had some character flaws anyway.
	8:18am Guido (Cologne): Youhad to spend nights because of page-loading time ... hehehe ... 20 videos at once or so ...
	8:21am P-90: ........drunk volunteers? I refuse to believe it, it's inconceivable, no way, it'll never happen
	8:25am common: love evey cocteau twins record...ah, youth. morning peoples!
	8:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...prefer it if the 1st isn't the best - exact opposite of the Contempo Corporate attitude...
	8:28am common: YEA! can my band be on your lable, please?
	8:30am P-90: The approach he's describing is the ONLY way, it's always been, you can't have that "stick with me, Kid, Ill make you a star" line of bs
	8:31am Cheri Pi: Here! loving this.
	8:34am Cheri Pi: Meghan, how did your head NOT explode?
	8:35am Meghan: Good question. I was super excited and happy to talk with him. But I just went in ready to go and positive and I think it rubbed off. That and I bought him a coffee.....
	8:37am Cheri Pi: It did, you sounded like a total pro and he seemed very comfortable and chummy.
	8:38am common: that was a great interview! He sounds like a great guy.
	8:40am Dirty Old Man: Interesting interview, especially since I didn't know much about him. You should have pushed him to sign Jeff to one of those half million pound record contracts.
	8:41am Chris - echolalia radio: Great interview!!
	8:42am P-90: @Meghan: Don't you think artists out promo-ing quickly figure out whether you're really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their stuff, and will relax and warm up to you if they find you're for real? I heard this as a perfect example, he was happy to go on in as much depth as you would ask him to because he wasn't with some schmoe going through the motions
	8:43am KP: sent msg to scott asking him to look into it. Otherwise another is NP. Great show, see ya.
	8:43am Guido (Cologne): LUSH!!!!
	8:43am Sem Chumbo: Thanks so much for making it possible for us to spend some time with Mr. Raymonde. Engaging Q and A, Ms. M.
	8:44am fred von helsing: LUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	8:44am Guido (Cologne): some common tastes here
	8:45am P-90: LUSH!
	8:45am Meghan: I don't know.... sometimes talking to a an artist you really like as a fan could scare them. I just think it's about really well thought out questions......
	8:46am common: i won tickets to the 2nd lalapalooza and lush was one of the first bands. i was so excited...but just missed them. bummer.
	8:46am Cheri Pi: LUSH!!!
	8:46am fred von helsing: -L-U-S-H-
	8:47am Julie: <3 LUSH <3
	8:47am Dave B: ughhh/ archives for me
	8:47am fred von helsing: ==== = L = = U = = S = = H = ====
	8:48am Guido (Cologne): Well thought out questions ... right ... you must get your interview partner get to LIKE the interview! Booring fan- or too often repeated question will make your parnter sleepy. WELL DONE!!!
	8:48am Meghan: Wow, are you still on LA time?
	8:49am Dave B: advil pm works wonders
	8:51am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Where have you been all night Evil Brady?
	8:51am bibi: that snare came on time.
	8:51am Dave B: wiped out on the ice two doors from home, crushed my shoulder. self medicated
	8:52am braveness23: B23 here. Man, it looks like I missed a show that was right up my alley... Thank goodness for the archives!
	8:52am fred von helsing: oh shit, man
	8:52am Chris - echolalia radio: I agree with @P-90 came through as a fan and very interested. Made for a brilliant interview.
	8:53am Cheri Pi: B23, do yourself a favor man!!!
	8:55am P-90: @Meghan: I see what you mean, one can easily be starstruck & a little tongue-tied, like the old Chris Farley SNL routine, and the artist just withdraws from that. A pretty famous guitarist once said to me that the same thing happened to him a couple of times when he would meet revered older American blues players in London, "one ends up just speaking in breathless generalities." But if a journalist prepares those questions carefully, like you say, that grounds the interview and allows a real exchange. Well done! and tell us a little about his shoes that day
	8:56am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): What's wrong with Lush? Is it because if you pronounce R and Ls the same, it sounds like Rush?
	8:56am braveness23: I've got a massage tomorrow evening. We normally listen to the most recent Trouble archive but I think we will have to listen to this instead!
	8:57am dinatekno: I have been in heaven all morning. You are fantastic! LUSH has been my favorite since my 90's shoegaze days in San Francisco. Lots of E and lots of Lush.
	8:58am P-90: Will there be a show for HATE songs to get equal time? Just askin
	9:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh - Hate is 365... - I don't hate Lush - they had a couple different sounds anyway - Interview was the Kewlest...
	12:21pm van: Nice start, but how could it not be with 4AD in the spotlight :)
	12:34pm van: This Mortal Coil - Have always loved, loved them!
	1:37pm van: Just loving his discussion of Elizabeth Fraser, and how she worked within the structure of the songs and how she jotted her lyrics, etc. Fascinating.
	1:46pm van: Wow. Sounds like Cocteau Twins in general could realistically file several lawsuits seeking compensation due, from their own stuff and from This Mortal Coil's first two albums.
	2:25pm van: * fast forwards past Pixies *
	3:22pm van: Just a fantastic interview. WELL DONE! Simon is so real, honest, fresh, well spoken, insightful. Must. Listen. Again. #Bookmark Thank you so much Meghan!
	12:24pm David McCormack: Cocteau Twins love this band so much, Beatrix this is my favorite song by them http://lyricsmusic.name/cocteau-twins-lyrics/treasure/beatrix.html

	7:53am KP: I was surprised to see the pixies listed among the 4AD bands.
	7:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - I liked RedHousePainters - but I like FolkRawk & have a deffo glum side...
	7:56am fred von helsing: 4bc would be a Christian label so I guess 4ad must be satanic ?
	7:57am Meghan: KP, who did you drop it off with? Chris, so glad you are enjoying the show!
	7:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ADADADAD - that's 4 'ad''s - everything on our label has two chords ...& we all have ADD - & OCD too: everything has to be perfect - but just for minute...
	8:00am Guido (Cologne): I think the Pixies were also not really into the 4AD-artworks, as far it suits the music.
	8:01am Guido (Cologne): Like LedZep were huge Joni Mitchell fans.
	8:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - this is a great example of the inside/outside thing - as the Visual Sense on 4AD was such a big deal !...
	8:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - lotsa Folk & Acoustic in Zep.
	8:05am Guido (Cologne): the Doors opening act for Captain Beefheart or the Turtles.
	8:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...their version of the Pistols in Texas ...I wish I could see Doors & Beefheart !
	8:13am KP: Meghan, there's the rub. it was after 5 pm and i went upstairs and saw like four younger people (not that they are all that way to me) whom i did recognize sitting around the round table in the volunteer. i asked them to drop it off and they seemed actively disinterested. However i did see both Chris and Scot on way out and they might have more info. In any event it would be easy to run off another, which i was going to do anyway, since i saw it as a keeper.
	8:15am Meghan: yeah.... that is sooooo not helpful! They were most likely drunk or on their way to getting drunk. I don't know if I will find it, to be honest.....
	8:17am KP: In retrospect that seems an accurate assessment. i'll start on new one. That one had some character flaws anyway.
	8:18am Guido (Cologne): Youhad to spend nights because of page-loading time ... hehehe ... 20 videos at once or so ...
	8:21am P-90: ........drunk volunteers? I refuse to believe it, it's inconceivable, no way, it'll never happen
	8:25am common: love evey cocteau twins record...ah, youth. morning peoples!
	8:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...prefer it if the 1st isn't the best - exact opposite of the Contempo Corporate attitude...
	8:28am common: YEA! can my band be on your lable, please?
	8:30am P-90: The approach he's describing is the ONLY way, it's always been, you can't have that "stick with me, Kid, Ill make you a star" line of bs
	8:31am Cheri Pi: Here! loving this.
	8:34am Cheri Pi: Meghan, how did your head NOT explode?
	8:35am Meghan: Good question. I was super excited and happy to talk with him. But I just went in ready to go and positive and I think it rubbed off. That and I bought him a coffee.....
	8:37am Cheri Pi: It did, you sounded like a total pro and he seemed very comfortable and chummy.
	8:38am common: that was a great interview! He sounds like a great guy.
	8:40am Dirty Old Man: Interesting interview, especially since I didn't know much about him. You should have pushed him to sign Jeff to one of those half million pound record contracts.
	8:41am Chris - echolalia radio: Great interview!!
	8:42am P-90: @Meghan: Don't you think artists out promo-ing quickly figure out whether you're really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their stuff, and will relax and warm up to you if they find you're for real? I heard this as a perfect example, he was happy to go on in as much depth as you would ask him to because he wasn't with some schmoe going through the motions
	8:43am KP: sent msg to scott asking him to look into it. Otherwise another is NP. Great show, see ya.
	8:43am Guido (Cologne): LUSH!!!!
	8:43am Sem Chumbo: Thanks so much for making it possible for us to spend some time with Mr. Raymonde. Engaging Q and A, Ms. M.
	8:44am fred von helsing: LUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	8:44am Guido (Cologne): some common tastes here
	8:45am P-90: LUSH!
	8:45am Meghan: I don't know.... sometimes talking to a an artist you really like as a fan could scare them. I just think it's about really well thought out questions......
	8:46am common: i won tickets to the 2nd lalapalooza and lush was one of the first bands. i was so excited...but just missed them. bummer.
	8:46am Cheri Pi: LUSH!!!
	8:46am fred von helsing: -L-U-S-H-
	8:47am Julie: <3 LUSH <3
	8:47am Dave B: ughhh/ archives for me
	8:47am fred von helsing: ==== = L = = U = = S = = H = ====
	8:48am Guido (Cologne): Well thought out questions ... right ... you must get your interview partner get to LIKE the interview! Booring fan- or too often repeated question will make your parnter sleepy. WELL DONE!!!
	8:48am Meghan: Wow, are you still on LA time?
	8:49am Dave B: advil pm works wonders
	8:51am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Where have you been all night Evil Brady?
	8:51am bibi: that snare came on time.
	8:51am Dave B: wiped out on the ice two doors from home, crushed my shoulder. self medicated
	8:52am braveness23: B23 here. Man, it looks like I missed a show that was right up my alley... Thank goodness for the archives!
	8:52am fred von helsing: oh shit, man
	8:52am Chris - echolalia radio: I agree with @P-90 came through as a fan and very interested. Made for a brilliant interview.
	8:53am Cheri Pi: B23, do yourself a favor man!!!
	8:55am P-90: @Meghan: I see what you mean, one can easily be starstruck & a little tongue-tied, like the old Chris Farley SNL routine, and the artist just withdraws from that. A pretty famous guitarist once said to me that the same thing happened to him a couple of times when he would meet revered older American blues players in London, "one ends up just speaking in breathless generalities." But if a journalist prepares those questions carefully, like you say, that grounds the interview and allows a real exchange. Well done! and tell us a little about his shoes that day
	8:56am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): What's wrong with Lush? Is it because if you pronounce R and Ls the same, it sounds like Rush?
	8:56am braveness23: I've got a massage tomorrow evening. We normally listen to the most recent Trouble archive but I think we will have to listen to this instead!
	8:57am dinatekno: I have been in heaven all morning. You are fantastic! LUSH has been my favorite since my 90's shoegaze days in San Francisco. Lots of E and lots of Lush.
	8:58am P-90: Will there be a show for HATE songs to get equal time? Just askin
	9:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - oh - Hate is 365... - I don't hate Lush - they had a couple different sounds anyway - Interview was the Kewlest...
	12:21pm van: Nice start, but how could it not be with 4AD in the spotlight :)
	12:34pm van: This Mortal Coil - Have always loved, loved them!
	1:37pm van: Just loving his discussion of Elizabeth Fraser, and how she worked within the structure of the songs and how she jotted her lyrics, etc. Fascinating.
	1:46pm van: Wow. Sounds like Cocteau Twins in general could realistically file several lawsuits seeking compensation due, from their own stuff and from This Mortal Coil's first two albums.
	2:25pm van: * fast forwards past Pixies *
	3:22pm van: Just a fantastic interview. WELL DONE! Simon is so real, honest, fresh, well spoken, insightful. Must. Listen. Again. #Bookmark Thank you so much Meghan!
	12:24pm David McCormack: Cocteau Twins love this band so much, Beatrix this is my favorite song by them http://lyricsmusic.name/cocteau-twins-lyrics/treasure/beatrix.html
