	12:08pm Sem Chumbo: Good afternoon, Irene. Hello, SIBUK and TFC, KP and Julie. "The lazy calm at the week's start?" Got an idea that might not describe today...
	12:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mercy ! Bringin' it.
	12:12pm MenfussMike: i like this. it haunts me
	12:12pm Caryn: Hello all!
	12:14pm Carmichael: Good morning Woofers and Mooers.
	12:16pm Cecile: hola, all!
	12:17pm josh: Good job
	12:18pm MenfussMike: i am buying me some Bashovia
	12:18pm Cecile: banish the cold while you are at it!
	12:23pm van: Late again. Hi Irene...and...JULIE!
	12:25pm Andrew Waterloo: I am also a member of the no smartphone beside the bed club.
	12:28pm van: I'm a member of no smartphone club, period. I have an ancient LG.
	12:30pm LovecraftDude888: I have a basic LG flip phone myself, still. will upgrade at some point soon. just listen at home on laptop for now.
	12:30pm Cecile: I'm the same as van. I have a current iPod, but a flip phone from 2004.
	12:30pm tim from champaign: hola Cecile! que tal?
	12:31pm van: Just so Cecile! iPod for me for music, wi-fi's, etc.
	12:32pm tim from champaign: I'm a member of the dumbphone club, too. No apps for me, suckas!
	12:33pm Caryn: I will avoid smartphones until it is no longer possible to buy anything else. Have a simple second-hand phone.
	🥁 12:34pm Julie: I used my phone as an alarm so i have to keep it with me.
	12:35pm bipolar guy: Hey! Wow this new FMU app upgrade is really COOL
	12:36pm Cecile: exactly, van. with this set up you can have great iPod games and a manageable phone bill.
	12:39pm Cecile: Another thing an ipod is good for is alarms. I set them constantly thru the day. (Good for ADD people).
	12:39pm ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ: I had cheapo phones until recently--kept diving into bodies of water with a phone in my pocket. I needed something that I perceived as being important. I treat my iphone like it's a faberge egg or something.
	12:41pm LovecraftDude888: I have old phone and classic iPod only..barely using the latter right now since I'm on FMU half the time and not commuting on train no mo'. But I use it here and there. right now I'm Frangry (!) cause bought a Braun M60 shaving device, and it's doing ok but always one spot I can't quite clear on LCD's neck...it's very existential and rightly pissing me off! Time to take walk and get lunch...folks! love y'all And just wanted to say WHOOODA@@ for no app. reason!
	12:41pm Irene Trudel: Hi Everybody! Just finally getting settled in. Glad to have you all here today. Julie and I are hoping to raise some much needed funds for WFMU and hope you'll join us! Just click on the pledge button on top of the playlist page to do your part.
	12:43pm Ike: Use yr cell phone infrequently or moderately? Try prepaid services like Page Plus or Virgin Mobile -- send the $$$ you save to FMU instead! Page Plus can work w/virtually any used Verizon phone (but not iPhones) and uses Verizon's network.
	12:48pm Robert: Word on the Give the Drummer comment column is that Harold Ramis died. Somebody should play some of his National Lampoon Radio Hour stuff.
	12:48pm KP: OMG!
	12:49pm van: wowzers. Nice
	12:49pm KP: No comedians!
	12:49pm van: Yep, RIP Harold Ramis.
	12:50pm Caryn: Nooooo! : www.chicagotribune.com...
	12:51pm KP: You are like a Hurricane, Irene
	12:52pm Cecile: I pledged!
	12:53pm tim from champaign: Electric Eden is an incredibly informative read.
	12:54pm LovecraftDude888: oof Harold Ramis RIP
	12:55pm common: no way, lovecraft! shit.
	12:56pm van: I hate having to go to meetings during this show. But, gotta go for a bit.
	🥁 12:58pm Julie: very sad about Ramis :(
	12:58pm Caryn: And from yesterday: www.nytimes.com... 2014 is not starting out very well.
	1:00pm Cecile: oh, that sucks about Marty Thau.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: efd did a good Thau tribute on his program.
	1:02pm Caryn: And then Terry Adkins died. I suspect at least Kurt is in mourning because of that.
	1:03pm SeanG: Hey Cecile, How is Minneapolis? I'm getting tired of Boston!
	1:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Props to DJ Julie, up way past her normal bed time.
	1:05pm Irene Trudel: Julie and i are offering some great prizes to give away during the show. Right now, Glenn Jones' wonderful "My Garden State" and Don Bikoff's ""Celestial Explosion." If you make a pledge of as little as $15 you're in the running for those prizes. And our Grand Prize for anyone who pledges at the premium level ($75) is Alasdair Roberts & Friends "A Wonder Working Stone" paired with the book "Electric Eden," a history of the British visionary Folk-Rock movement. www.electriceden.net
	1:06pm Cecile: It's still cold and snowy as hell here.
	1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's striking when - like me - you may have heard Thau's name, but were not well-informed - & then see the list of what he was involved in from ? & the Mysterians & Buddha Records thru to the Dolls, Ramones, Suicide - & the impact said individual had on your life & you had no idea; even efd's friend he memorializes periodically likely impacted me too as a program director on WBCN Boston (speaking of Beantown)...
	1:08pm SeanG: ooh I love that weather. It's a cool town right?
	1:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...happen to be home sick today - & knocked out by the beauty & mastery on this program that I usually miss - I don't earn much & have to put a low ceiling on what I can pledge - & split that up into minimum allowable pledges between frustratingly few of my most beloved programs; I wish I could bestow my financial vote & gratitude on all the extraordinary DJs & what their knowledge, taste & diligence bring me !
	1:18pm Irene Trudel: @Revolution Rabbit, I understand your dilemma. Pledge what you can. And everybody remember, you can pay in installments--the money isn't due immediately.
	1:26pm KP: The guitar pick convinced me
	1:26pm Cubicle Carl: Swag for life = WFMU for life.
	1:27pm Caryn: It is a lovely guitar pick. Very chic.
	1:28pm Yair Yona: Irene, what a wonderful music today
	🥁 1:33pm Julie: very quiet in here
	🥁 1:34pm Julie: 1-800-989-9368
	1:40pm Whooda: Watching from the sidelines DJ Julie. Have one ear on Freddie King '73-'74. Thanks for volunteering in land of the walking wakers.
	🥁 1:44pm Julie: Irene, tacos, a phone room full of men, not a bad day. Now if we can just get those pledges coming in again!
	1:44pm Andrew Waterloo: hurray they're testing the first alarms here.
	1:46pm Irene Trudel: Up for your consideration in the next prize drawing--Daniel Bachman's "Jesus I'm a Sinner" and Alexander Turnquist's "Hall way of Mirrors." Pledge at as little as $15 to get in the drawing at wfmu.org or call 1-800-989-9368.
	1:47pm van: I think I heard this track on Jeffrey's show before...wonderful. Really like Bachman.
	1:49pm Sem Chumbo: Appreciating this show very much right now.
	1:49pm Irene Trudel: Daniel is so talented! He's been here a couple of times, and I've seen him live. Extraordinary fingerworks!
	1:49pm kepasweet: beautiful set Irene!
	🥁 1:49pm Julie: so pretty
	1:50pm Whooda: Fantastic guitar I love Leo Kotke and this good too.
	1:50pm Chris from DC: Big fan. Seeing him with Pelt was amazing.
	1:51pm Caryn: Hmm, only put down one prize in my pledge, but I'll gladly take part in any other prize draw I'm eligible for, just FYI.
	1:52pm LovecraftDude888: RR: oof being sick sucks! those things tend to linger, flu or bad cold. /I bought some goodies from FMU last night....trying to do what I can. Joe McGasko took care if it!
	1:53pm LovecraftDude888: I'm still glad I haven't gotten sick this winter yet...knocking on formica
	1:57pm LovecraftDude888: and Whooda I exclaimed WHOODAAA! battle cry earlier in yer honor!
	1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joe McGasko was notably patient getting me squared away last marathon too: if you pledge anything instead of buying stuff - you can get a ♡ & get people off your case a bit for the duration (it's called a Marathon for a reason): I signed up for $10/month automatically - so it's affordable & helpful & goes on....
	2:00pm Whooda: @LCD ? Battle cry? sounds more like me on the toilet with constipation :)
	2:00pm LovecraftDude888: well I intended it as such, hehe./RR: but if you do the $10 a month do you get monthly goodies?
	2:01pm LovecraftDude888: or quarterly?
	2:01pm LovecraftDude888: I think I'm rolling over my Spotify $10 to FMU but waiting for cancellation
	2:02pm Whooda: God is on FMU's side, I donated yesterday and today my PO Box buried me in unexpected bills. I am glad it worked out that way.
	2:03pm Andrew Waterloo: I don't think you get stuff regularly with a Swag for Life. There's just stuff that gets sent out at random.
	2:04pm Andrew Waterloo: You might here this music in a seque on public radio at the most.
	2:04pm LovecraftDude888: ah ok..I see. that's cool. I'll prob. do that cause Spotify isn't even working right for me and no time to fire it up half the time! it's absurd.
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @LDude: I got a DJ Compilation & a shirt - I think - I donated one other time & it's confusing...not really sure how the swag works - altho' T-Shirts & CDRs are up my alley...
	2:07pm LovecraftDude888: I see...ok. Well in meantime ordered goodies on store...
	2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - don't quote me on swag details @ all here !...
	2:09pm Whooda: @LCD Had to Google to find what Spotify is: "Feb 5, 2013 - I've been using Spotify for more than a year now and it's great, but the more I use it, the more I realize just how much I need to leave. " If its only music, FMU offers so many archives, streams and regular programming. I don't think Spotify will introduce new music before it's heard on FMU. Screw paying for Spotify.
	2:09pm Caryn: @LCD: when you set up a monthly payment, you get swag according to how much the monthly payments come to in a year, so the 10 bucks a month Swag For Life pledge gives you the SFL level t-shirt and everything below that level (a sticker, a goldfinch t-shirt, and one DJ premium).
	2:10pm LovecraftDude888: my friend convinced me to sub. to Spotify a year or two ago and it's ok but not working too well...sluggish..i don't even have time to mess with it much anymore.
	2:10pm LovecraftDude888: Caryn: gotcha...ok.
	2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Caryn - I think they missed me for a shirt actually - but that's for elsewhere...
	2:12pm Mike East: Alls I'm sayin' is I can't wait to get my hands on that flask and rolling papers.
	2:14pm Whooda: @Mike that disrepair kit is a classic for sure.
	2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the papers are likely to become legal to use sooner than the flask in public !...
	2:15pm Caryn: The only swag that doesn't follow the "get this and all the swag below this level" are the DJ premiums. For instance, if you pledge a mouse pledge, you get 7 premiums, but you don't also get the 3 premiums mentioned on the half a mouse level or the one premium mentioned on the 75 buck level. So, you get 7 premiums, not 7+3+1. (Man, I hope this explanation makes sense, LCD & RRN63)
	2:16pm Patrick of Jolon: Makes sense to me, Caryn.
	2:16pm Caryn: I'll happily use the flask in public, since it won't have anything alcoholic in it. I'm foreseeing a flask full of cherry coke or something.
	2:17pm Mike East: I always have a really hard time picking my DJ premiums. Sooo much quality stuff that will never be released anywhere else!
	2:19pm Whooda: @Caryn Don't whip out that flask of cherry coke if your warming your hands around a barrel bon-fire next to hobos, they won't see the humor in that.
	2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It makes sense to your methodical mind Caryn ! - & yeah, Thx. (It's like when I try to explain something astrological to someone & think I'm doing my best - & then they ask me what it means...it's easy to fall back on jargon you are familiar w/) ...I wonder if that's not a European attitude - 'cause in the U.S. it's usually not worth challenging the cops whatever you have in the flask (maybe in N'Orleans it's legal?)...
	2:19pm Andrew Waterloo: @Mike, then it's finding time to listen to them
	2:20pm Whooda: Call me crazy, I'm choosing Dave Emory's "Life's Work" CD premium. YEAH!
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Whooda presents the flipside ...so true MikeE - but by same token hard to go really wrong!...
	🥁 2:20pm Julie: not much time left, pledge now. Get Irene's awesome premium cd
	2:22pm Irene Trudel: Get in the running for Sam Amidon's album "Bright Sunny South" or The Milk Carton Kids' "The Ash and the Clay" for a pledge of as little as $15. But we hope you'll pledge more than that. :)
	2:22pm Mike East: you're crazy, Whooda....but you knew that. :)
	2:22pm herb.nyc: hmmm, i saw SAM AMIDON do a live set at an art gallery (3 yrs ago?). i don't recall him being so guitar-crazy.
	2:23pm Caryn: I know, Mike! I keep making notes on my DJ premium list based on what I've heard of the premiums on the shows. I have marks for "must get", "pretty sure", "on the fence" and "naah". Once I have enough "must gets" for a certain pledge, I can make a pledge. The first pledge is usually easiest. Then, it's two weeks of trying to choose between the remaining possible ones. Aargh!
	2:24pm Whooda: @Mike, yeah, I know that already, I just need the reassurance. One can never tell when they might slip into sanity, and by then it's too late.
	2:25pm Caryn: @RRN63: well, the cops don't really mind drinking in public too much, as long as a person is not under age or rowdy. So it'll be fine over here. I wouldn't try it in the States.
	2:25pm Irene Trudel: Sam Amidon is quite a good guitarist-- and is married to Beth Orton. Love his style!
	2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sanity claws...
	2:27pm herb.nyc: thanks for that "married to beth orton" tidbit, irene, bec i wuv wuv gossip!
	2:27pm Matt from Springfield: Hey Irene and Julie! I'm happy to pledge for Irene -- you should be too!!
	2:28pm Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: Same with my premiums--last year I had 12 premiums competing for 2 "free" slots, this year...it's 14! So I'm listening to what the DJs play from theirs, narrowing down my choices and deciding on my final premium list after the Marathon.
	2:29pm Danne D: Julie Dark in the Day time?!? :)
	2:29pm Mike East: just called in and spoke to a dude who lives in my town...and knows someone who lives on my street.
	2:30pm Matt from Springfield: It's Daywalker Danne D! :)
	2:31pm Matt from Springfield: "Johnny Stall and the Almost Bathrooms"
	2:32pm Caryn: @Matt: exactly! Sometimes, I can pick up a couple of the also-rans from the prize warehouse the following year, but it's a pain when you have 3 times as many premiums you'd like than you have free slots.
	2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'ahm gonna make yoo a household name Johnny !'...
	2:33pm Caryn: Sheesh, my grammar is slipping. That "than" should be a second "as". Oh well.
	2:34pm Matt from Springfield: 2011 was a bumper crop year for great premiums--I'll be picking those out of the Warehouse for years! (Btw, the WFMU homepage link "Buy crap from our store!" has some of the items from the Warehouse for sale, any time of year. Usually the non-DJ specific items, like the Best of LCD book or the "Locked-Groove" record. But save your Warehouse prizes for the things that can't be purchased).
	2:35pm Mike East: woohoo!!! my first pledge this marathon and I'm a winner!!! Thanks, Irene and Julie!
	2:35pm Matt from Springfield: Is that Mike East? Congrats! :D @Caryn: Put a nickel in the grammar jar...
	2:36pm Caryn: Nice, Mike!
	2:36pm van: Dang it. I've missed so much of this show due to work today. Grrr.
	2:36pm Mike East: That's Matt! I knew it'd be one of us.
	2:37pm van: well hopefully my first pledge of this marathon made its way to you.
	2:37pm Caryn: @Matt: can I put in an IOU? I'm saving my nickels for pledges.
	2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah Caryn - I find in my old age I'm slipping a preposition here or there in my 4th language (...whuuuut??)....
	2:37pm Matt from Springfield: Me too, Mike. Good prizes find their way to good listeners :)
	2:37pm Whooda: Congrats Mike East!
	2:37pm steve: there is some serious gold in the Prize Warehouse. im planning to grab a 2008 Choking on Cufflinks shirt. man, i miss that show.
	2:39pm Caryn: @RRN63: I keep mixing up my Swedish and German. Old age comes to us all.
	🥁 2:40pm Julie: We have a volunteer video chatting with his wife here, come on and keep these guys busy! 1-800-989-9368
	2:41pm Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: Absolutely! Have you seen the 1937 Spencer Tracy film "Captains Courageous"? The elite private-school boy is in a school newspaper club, where one member tells another to put a nickel in the jar, for "using 'like' as a conjunction"! I guess like was something that you like, not compare with something else!
	🥁 2:42pm Julie: I may have to start shaking down the phone staff for their money! Let's get Irene to her goal, guys!
	2:42pm ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ: no similes allowed.
	2:42pm Matt from Springfield: Wooo! Robyn! That was a great episode, and a great live guest for WFMU! Help us keep getting these wonderful live guests, and Archiving their performances!
	2:43pm Caryn: @Matt: yep, that's private schools for you, heh! (Decent movie, too, if not one of Tracy's best.)
	2:44pm Matt from Springfield: I think so too, Caryn, he won an Oscar for that, and it really proves Spencer's legendary status by showing his best acting chops.
	🥁 2:45pm Julie: get in the running for this Julianna cd, you only need to pledge $15 but you need to do it NOW
	2:47pm van: So nice
	2:47pm Caryn: @Matt: yep, it's one of those "the performance is better than the movie" ones.
	2:48pm LovecraftDude888: thanks for Robyn!! gotta run for now guys....back tonite and will attempt $10 a month bit then!
	2:48pm Matt from Springfield: Bright Day of the Soul -- almost of the Heavenly Soul..
	2:49pm van: Weird how the cow isn't bowing or wagging its tail. Supposed to at 50%...kind of like the cow is over at GTDR right now :)
	2:49pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks LovecraftDude, go for it!
	2:50pm Caryn: I wonder if the cow stops after 60 or 70 % and then starts up again at 100 %?
	2:54pm van: Hmm, good question Caryn. Probably a Kenzo question...
	2:54pm Irene Trudel: Yeah, it's strange how the cow isn't bowing, but if we can get 100% maybe both will go? Just a few minutes to find out!
	2:55pm Caryn: I'm just troubled by how the moving cow seems to morph between a cow and a pig...
	2:55pm van: Oooooh. It's a temporary timing thing for cow bow. Looks like just minutes long...the cow already stopped over at GTDR
	2:58pm Stanley: Whoo Hoo!
	2:58pm Mike East: @Caryn - maybe a commentary on our factory farming system...mystery meat
	2:59pm Caryn: @Mike: I personally blame Monsanto and their GM plans.
	2:59pm Mike East: nice Caryn!!! grand prize winnah!
	2:59pm van: Thanks ladies!
	2:59pm Matt from Springfield: Yeah Stanley! And go Jenna! Thanks Irene, great show today, great show YEAR ROUND! Thanks Julie, all volunteers and pledgers! Keep it up!
	🥁 2:59pm Sean in Bristol UK: Great show Irene
	2:59pm Caryn: Yay! And thanks, Mike!
	3:59pm van: Glad this went to archive so quickly! Been catching up on parts I missed. More to come later :)

Frontman Michael Wells, along with Vocalist /Keyboardist Sylvia Solanis visiting from France, recorded a gorgeous live set for Irene.

	12:33pm Caryn: I will avoid smartphones until it is no longer possible to buy anything else. Have a simple second-hand phone.
	🥁 12:34pm Julie: I used my phone as an alarm so i have to keep it with me.
	12:35pm bipolar guy: Hey! Wow this new FMU app upgrade is really COOL
	12:36pm Cecile: exactly, van. with this set up you can have great iPod games and a manageable phone bill.
	12:39pm Cecile: Another thing an ipod is good for is alarms. I set them constantly thru the day. (Good for ADD people).
	12:39pm ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ: I had cheapo phones until recently--kept diving into bodies of water with a phone in my pocket. I needed something that I perceived as being important. I treat my iphone like it's a faberge egg or something.
	12:41pm LovecraftDude888: I have old phone and classic iPod only..barely using the latter right now since I'm on FMU half the time and not commuting on train no mo'. But I use it here and there. right now I'm Frangry (!) cause bought a Braun M60 shaving device, and it's doing ok but always one spot I can't quite clear on LCD's neck...it's very existential and rightly pissing me off! Time to take walk and get lunch...folks! love y'all And just wanted to say WHOOODA@@ for no app. reason!
	12:41pm Irene Trudel: Hi Everybody! Just finally getting settled in. Glad to have you all here today. Julie and I are hoping to raise some much needed funds for WFMU and hope you'll join us! Just click on the pledge button on top of the playlist page to do your part.
	12:43pm Ike: Use yr cell phone infrequently or moderately? Try prepaid services like Page Plus or Virgin Mobile -- send the $$$ you save to FMU instead! Page Plus can work w/virtually any used Verizon phone (but not iPhones) and uses Verizon's network.
	12:48pm Robert: Word on the Give the Drummer comment column is that Harold Ramis died. Somebody should play some of his National Lampoon Radio Hour stuff.
	12:48pm KP: OMG!
	12:49pm van: wowzers. Nice
	12:49pm KP: No comedians!
	12:49pm van: Yep, RIP Harold Ramis.
	12:50pm Caryn: Nooooo! : www.chicagotribune.com...
	12:51pm KP: You are like a Hurricane, Irene
	12:52pm Cecile: I pledged!
	12:53pm tim from champaign: Electric Eden is an incredibly informative read.
	12:54pm LovecraftDude888: oof Harold Ramis RIP
	12:55pm common: no way, lovecraft! shit.
	12:56pm van: I hate having to go to meetings during this show. But, gotta go for a bit.
	🥁 12:58pm Julie: very sad about Ramis :(
	12:58pm Caryn: And from yesterday: www.nytimes.com... 2014 is not starting out very well.
	1:00pm Cecile: oh, that sucks about Marty Thau.
	1:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: efd did a good Thau tribute on his program.
	1:02pm Caryn: And then Terry Adkins died. I suspect at least Kurt is in mourning because of that.
	1:03pm SeanG: Hey Cecile, How is Minneapolis? I'm getting tired of Boston!
	1:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Props to DJ Julie, up way past her normal bed time.
	1:05pm Irene Trudel: Julie and i are offering some great prizes to give away during the show. Right now, Glenn Jones' wonderful "My Garden State" and Don Bikoff's ""Celestial Explosion." If you make a pledge of as little as $15 you're in the running for those prizes. And our Grand Prize for anyone who pledges at the premium level ($75) is Alasdair Roberts & Friends "A Wonder Working Stone" paired with the book "Electric Eden," a history of the British visionary Folk-Rock movement. www.electriceden.net
	1:06pm Cecile: It's still cold and snowy as hell here.
	1:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's striking when - like me - you may have heard Thau's name, but were not well-informed - & then see the list of what he was involved in from ? & the Mysterians & Buddha Records thru to the Dolls, Ramones, Suicide - & the impact said individual had on your life & you had no idea; even efd's friend he memorializes periodically likely impacted me too as a program director on WBCN Boston (speaking of Beantown)...
	1:08pm SeanG: ooh I love that weather. It's a cool town right?
	1:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...happen to be home sick today - & knocked out by the beauty & mastery on this program that I usually miss - I don't earn much & have to put a low ceiling on what I can pledge - & split that up into minimum allowable pledges between frustratingly few of my most beloved programs; I wish I could bestow my financial vote & gratitude on all the extraordinary DJs & what their knowledge, taste & diligence bring me !
	1:18pm Irene Trudel: @Revolution Rabbit, I understand your dilemma. Pledge what you can. And everybody remember, you can pay in installments--the money isn't due immediately.
	1:26pm KP: The guitar pick convinced me
	1:26pm Cubicle Carl: Swag for life = WFMU for life.
	1:27pm Caryn: It is a lovely guitar pick. Very chic.
	1:28pm Yair Yona: Irene, what a wonderful music today
	🥁 1:33pm Julie: very quiet in here
	🥁 1:34pm Julie: 1-800-989-9368
	1:40pm Whooda: Watching from the sidelines DJ Julie. Have one ear on Freddie King '73-'74. Thanks for volunteering in land of the walking wakers.
	🥁 1:44pm Julie: Irene, tacos, a phone room full of men, not a bad day. Now if we can just get those pledges coming in again!
	1:44pm Andrew Waterloo: hurray they're testing the first alarms here.
	1:46pm Irene Trudel: Up for your consideration in the next prize drawing--Daniel Bachman's "Jesus I'm a Sinner" and Alexander Turnquist's "Hall way of Mirrors." Pledge at as little as $15 to get in the drawing at wfmu.org or call 1-800-989-9368.
	1:47pm van: I think I heard this track on Jeffrey's show before...wonderful. Really like Bachman.
	1:49pm Sem Chumbo: Appreciating this show very much right now.
	1:49pm Irene Trudel: Daniel is so talented! He's been here a couple of times, and I've seen him live. Extraordinary fingerworks!
	1:49pm kepasweet: beautiful set Irene!
	🥁 1:49pm Julie: so pretty
	1:50pm Whooda: Fantastic guitar I love Leo Kotke and this good too.
	1:50pm Chris from DC: Big fan. Seeing him with Pelt was amazing.
	1:51pm Caryn: Hmm, only put down one prize in my pledge, but I'll gladly take part in any other prize draw I'm eligible for, just FYI.
	1:52pm LovecraftDude888: RR: oof being sick sucks! those things tend to linger, flu or bad cold. /I bought some goodies from FMU last night....trying to do what I can. Joe McGasko took care if it!
	1:53pm LovecraftDude888: I'm still glad I haven't gotten sick this winter yet...knocking on formica
	1:57pm LovecraftDude888: and Whooda I exclaimed WHOODAAA! battle cry earlier in yer honor!
	1:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Joe McGasko was notably patient getting me squared away last marathon too: if you pledge anything instead of buying stuff - you can get a ♡ & get people off your case a bit for the duration (it's called a Marathon for a reason): I signed up for $10/month automatically - so it's affordable & helpful & goes on....
	2:00pm Whooda: @LCD ? Battle cry? sounds more like me on the toilet with constipation :)
	2:00pm LovecraftDude888: well I intended it as such, hehe./RR: but if you do the $10 a month do you get monthly goodies?
	2:01pm LovecraftDude888: or quarterly?
	2:01pm LovecraftDude888: I think I'm rolling over my Spotify $10 to FMU but waiting for cancellation
	2:02pm Whooda: God is on FMU's side, I donated yesterday and today my PO Box buried me in unexpected bills. I am glad it worked out that way.
	2:03pm Andrew Waterloo: I don't think you get stuff regularly with a Swag for Life. There's just stuff that gets sent out at random.
	2:04pm Andrew Waterloo: You might here this music in a seque on public radio at the most.
	2:04pm LovecraftDude888: ah ok..I see. that's cool. I'll prob. do that cause Spotify isn't even working right for me and no time to fire it up half the time! it's absurd.
	2:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @LDude: I got a DJ Compilation & a shirt - I think - I donated one other time & it's confusing...not really sure how the swag works - altho' T-Shirts & CDRs are up my alley...
	2:07pm LovecraftDude888: I see...ok. Well in meantime ordered goodies on store...
	2:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - don't quote me on swag details @ all here !...
	2:09pm Whooda: @LCD Had to Google to find what Spotify is: "Feb 5, 2013 - I've been using Spotify for more than a year now and it's great, but the more I use it, the more I realize just how much I need to leave. " If its only music, FMU offers so many archives, streams and regular programming. I don't think Spotify will introduce new music before it's heard on FMU. Screw paying for Spotify.
	2:09pm Caryn: @LCD: when you set up a monthly payment, you get swag according to how much the monthly payments come to in a year, so the 10 bucks a month Swag For Life pledge gives you the SFL level t-shirt and everything below that level (a sticker, a goldfinch t-shirt, and one DJ premium).
	2:10pm LovecraftDude888: my friend convinced me to sub. to Spotify a year or two ago and it's ok but not working too well...sluggish..i don't even have time to mess with it much anymore.
	2:10pm LovecraftDude888: Caryn: gotcha...ok.
	2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Caryn - I think they missed me for a shirt actually - but that's for elsewhere...
	2:12pm Mike East: Alls I'm sayin' is I can't wait to get my hands on that flask and rolling papers.
	2:14pm Whooda: @Mike that disrepair kit is a classic for sure.
	2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the papers are likely to become legal to use sooner than the flask in public !...
	2:15pm Caryn: The only swag that doesn't follow the "get this and all the swag below this level" are the DJ premiums. For instance, if you pledge a mouse pledge, you get 7 premiums, but you don't also get the 3 premiums mentioned on the half a mouse level or the one premium mentioned on the 75 buck level. So, you get 7 premiums, not 7+3+1. (Man, I hope this explanation makes sense, LCD & RRN63)
	2:16pm Patrick of Jolon: Makes sense to me, Caryn.
	2:16pm Caryn: I'll happily use the flask in public, since it won't have anything alcoholic in it. I'm foreseeing a flask full of cherry coke or something.
	2:17pm Mike East: I always have a really hard time picking my DJ premiums. Sooo much quality stuff that will never be released anywhere else!
	2:19pm Whooda: @Caryn Don't whip out that flask of cherry coke if your warming your hands around a barrel bon-fire next to hobos, they won't see the humor in that.
	2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It makes sense to your methodical mind Caryn ! - & yeah, Thx. (It's like when I try to explain something astrological to someone & think I'm doing my best - & then they ask me what it means...it's easy to fall back on jargon you are familiar w/) ...I wonder if that's not a European attitude - 'cause in the U.S. it's usually not worth challenging the cops whatever you have in the flask (maybe in N'Orleans it's legal?)...
	2:19pm Andrew Waterloo: @Mike, then it's finding time to listen to them
	2:20pm Whooda: Call me crazy, I'm choosing Dave Emory's "Life's Work" CD premium. YEAH!
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Whooda presents the flipside ...so true MikeE - but by same token hard to go really wrong!...
	🥁 2:20pm Julie: not much time left, pledge now. Get Irene's awesome premium cd
	2:22pm Irene Trudel: Get in the running for Sam Amidon's album "Bright Sunny South" or The Milk Carton Kids' "The Ash and the Clay" for a pledge of as little as $15. But we hope you'll pledge more than that. :)
	2:22pm Mike East: you're crazy, Whooda....but you knew that. :)
	2:22pm herb.nyc: hmmm, i saw SAM AMIDON do a live set at an art gallery (3 yrs ago?). i don't recall him being so guitar-crazy.
	2:23pm Caryn: I know, Mike! I keep making notes on my DJ premium list based on what I've heard of the premiums on the shows. I have marks for "must get", "pretty sure", "on the fence" and "naah". Once I have enough "must gets" for a certain pledge, I can make a pledge. The first pledge is usually easiest. Then, it's two weeks of trying to choose between the remaining possible ones. Aargh!
	2:24pm Whooda: @Mike, yeah, I know that already, I just need the reassurance. One can never tell when they might slip into sanity, and by then it's too late.
	2:25pm Caryn: @RRN63: well, the cops don't really mind drinking in public too much, as long as a person is not under age or rowdy. So it'll be fine over here. I wouldn't try it in the States.
	2:25pm Irene Trudel: Sam Amidon is quite a good guitarist-- and is married to Beth Orton. Love his style!
	2:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sanity claws...
	2:27pm herb.nyc: thanks for that "married to beth orton" tidbit, irene, bec i wuv wuv gossip!
	2:27pm Matt from Springfield: Hey Irene and Julie! I'm happy to pledge for Irene -- you should be too!!
	2:28pm Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: Same with my premiums--last year I had 12 premiums competing for 2 "free" slots, this year...it's 14! So I'm listening to what the DJs play from theirs, narrowing down my choices and deciding on my final premium list after the Marathon.
	2:29pm Danne D: Julie Dark in the Day time?!? :)
	2:29pm Mike East: just called in and spoke to a dude who lives in my town...and knows someone who lives on my street.
	2:30pm Matt from Springfield: It's Daywalker Danne D! :)
	2:31pm Matt from Springfield: "Johnny Stall and the Almost Bathrooms"
	2:32pm Caryn: @Matt: exactly! Sometimes, I can pick up a couple of the also-rans from the prize warehouse the following year, but it's a pain when you have 3 times as many premiums you'd like than you have free slots.
	2:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'ahm gonna make yoo a household name Johnny !'...
	2:33pm Caryn: Sheesh, my grammar is slipping. That "than" should be a second "as". Oh well.
	2:34pm Matt from Springfield: 2011 was a bumper crop year for great premiums--I'll be picking those out of the Warehouse for years! (Btw, the WFMU homepage link "Buy crap from our store!" has some of the items from the Warehouse for sale, any time of year. Usually the non-DJ specific items, like the Best of LCD book or the "Locked-Groove" record. But save your Warehouse prizes for the things that can't be purchased).
	2:35pm Mike East: woohoo!!! my first pledge this marathon and I'm a winner!!! Thanks, Irene and Julie!
	2:35pm Matt from Springfield: Is that Mike East? Congrats! :D @Caryn: Put a nickel in the grammar jar...
	2:36pm Caryn: Nice, Mike!
	2:36pm van: Dang it. I've missed so much of this show due to work today. Grrr.
	2:36pm Mike East: That's Matt! I knew it'd be one of us.
	2:37pm van: well hopefully my first pledge of this marathon made its way to you.
	2:37pm Caryn: @Matt: can I put in an IOU? I'm saving my nickels for pledges.
	2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah Caryn - I find in my old age I'm slipping a preposition here or there in my 4th language (...whuuuut??)....
	2:37pm Matt from Springfield: Me too, Mike. Good prizes find their way to good listeners :)
	2:37pm Whooda: Congrats Mike East!
	2:37pm steve: there is some serious gold in the Prize Warehouse. im planning to grab a 2008 Choking on Cufflinks shirt. man, i miss that show.
	2:39pm Caryn: @RRN63: I keep mixing up my Swedish and German. Old age comes to us all.
	🥁 2:40pm Julie: We have a volunteer video chatting with his wife here, come on and keep these guys busy! 1-800-989-9368
	2:41pm Matt from Springfield: @Caryn: Absolutely! Have you seen the 1937 Spencer Tracy film "Captains Courageous"? The elite private-school boy is in a school newspaper club, where one member tells another to put a nickel in the jar, for "using 'like' as a conjunction"! I guess like was something that you like, not compare with something else!
	🥁 2:42pm Julie: I may have to start shaking down the phone staff for their money! Let's get Irene to her goal, guys!
	2:42pm ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ: no similes allowed.
	2:42pm Matt from Springfield: Wooo! Robyn! That was a great episode, and a great live guest for WFMU! Help us keep getting these wonderful live guests, and Archiving their performances!
	2:43pm Caryn: @Matt: yep, that's private schools for you, heh! (Decent movie, too, if not one of Tracy's best.)
	2:44pm Matt from Springfield: I think so too, Caryn, he won an Oscar for that, and it really proves Spencer's legendary status by showing his best acting chops.
	🥁 2:45pm Julie: get in the running for this Julianna cd, you only need to pledge $15 but you need to do it NOW
	2:47pm van: So nice
	2:47pm Caryn: @Matt: yep, it's one of those "the performance is better than the movie" ones.
	2:48pm LovecraftDude888: thanks for Robyn!! gotta run for now guys....back tonite and will attempt $10 a month bit then!
	2:48pm Matt from Springfield: Bright Day of the Soul -- almost of the Heavenly Soul..
	2:49pm van: Weird how the cow isn't bowing or wagging its tail. Supposed to at 50%...kind of like the cow is over at GTDR right now :)
	2:49pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks LovecraftDude, go for it!
	2:50pm Caryn: I wonder if the cow stops after 60 or 70 % and then starts up again at 100 %?
	2:54pm van: Hmm, good question Caryn. Probably a Kenzo question...
	2:54pm Irene Trudel: Yeah, it's strange how the cow isn't bowing, but if we can get 100% maybe both will go? Just a few minutes to find out!
	2:55pm Caryn: I'm just troubled by how the moving cow seems to morph between a cow and a pig...
	2:55pm van: Oooooh. It's a temporary timing thing for cow bow. Looks like just minutes long...the cow already stopped over at GTDR
	2:58pm Stanley: Whoo Hoo!
	2:58pm Mike East: @Caryn - maybe a commentary on our factory farming system...mystery meat
	2:59pm Caryn: @Mike: I personally blame Monsanto and their GM plans.
	2:59pm Mike East: nice Caryn!!! grand prize winnah!
	2:59pm van: Thanks ladies!
	2:59pm Matt from Springfield: Yeah Stanley! And go Jenna! Thanks Irene, great show today, great show YEAR ROUND! Thanks Julie, all volunteers and pledgers! Keep it up!
	🥁 2:59pm Sean in Bristol UK: Great show Irene
	2:59pm Caryn: Yay! And thanks, Mike!
	3:59pm van: Glad this went to archive so quickly! Been catching up on parts I missed. More to come later :)
