Listener comments!
	11:53am Gary: How am I supposed to make a bad joke or pun when there are no clues as to what the broadcast is gonna be?
	11:54am Tony Coulter: Hey Gary! It won't be about toads -- that much I can say.
	11:56am Doug Schulkind: Tony Coulter, knee-deep in the hits.
	🥁 11:57am listener james from westwood: Will be turning it up LOUD over the din of the veggie/noodle stir-fry I'm making for lunch!
	11:57am Tony Coulter: Toe-Knee deep, you mean. Heya Doug Doug!
	11:58am Tony Coulter: Heya, James!!
	11:59am indeterminacy: hi Tony! We're supposed to guess what the program is about? Existentialist garage?
	11:59am Carmichael: Good morning Tony and hiss-free peoples.
	12:00pm Tony Coulter: Hey ho, Carmichael!
	12:00pm DCE: I'm IN
	12:01pm pacific standard simon: It's about three hours long.
	12:02pm pacific standard simon: ...and wide as the ocean.
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: On next week's show: my VHS video player cleaning tape.
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, DCE & PS Simon!
	12:03pm DCE: impregnated with copper, huh...
	12:03pm DCE: my baby is oxidizing!
	12:03pm Rich in Washington: Greetings, Tony! 'allo, fellow Couterites!
	12:04pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Rich!
	12:05pm Rich in Washington: Michel Chion is ze same one who did Requiem, non?
	12:06pm Carmichael: I just heard a typo, Tony.
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: The very one.
	12:07pm Tony Coulter: @ Carmichael: Ha!
	12:08pm Tony Coulter: That "The very one" was aimed at Rich, natch.
	12:09pm still b/p: Tony the Typo says, "Theyyyyyy're graet!"
	12:10pm pacific standard simon: I once converted a .wav file of a Selectric typewriter into a .midi file and experimented with different Midi voices -- the best one was the vibraphone.
	12:10pm Tony Coulter: Holy Frosted Flakes, it's still b/p!
	12:15pm Carmichael: Pretty cool, Simon. It's all I can do to get my Typing With Debbie LP into MP3 format.
	12:20pm Gary: I feel like I've been hypnotized listening to this. I hope I'm not doing anything embarrassing while here at work ...
	12:20pm Ike: Sounds great!
	12:20pm Tony Coulter: "That's funny."
	12:22pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Ike!!
	12:24pm Tony Coulter: No toads today, as promised -- but here are some funky frogs.
	12:26pm Carmichael: Oh btw, let it be known that on the Sportsytalk comments board last night, I predicted UConn by 6. I am available for all your prognosticating needs.
	12:29pm still b/p: Price of heating oil in northern New England in thirty days and in six months, please, Carm.
	12:32pm Brian in UK: Hello Tony @ Carmichael What are the odds of the Irish Premier visiting the Queen & the Houses of Parliament TODAY?
	12:33pm Tony Coulter: Why is that "ooh" so Beatles-ish? Can't anybody say "ooh"?
	12:33pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Brian!!
	12:41pm Tony Coulter: For my money (what little of it I have), G.F. Fitz-Gerald belongs up there with Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, Hans Reichel, et al in the pantheon of great experimental guitarists. Particularly given that this track is from '74 or so.
	🥁 12:42pm listener james from westwood: I totally read "funky frogs" as "funky progs." As one does.
	12:43pm Tony Coulter: The funky progs show up next set.
	12:45pm Brian in UK: @Tony an early reference to Fractals as well. (Small six headed creatures)
	12:47pm Tony Coulter: True! That occurred to me as well. By the '90s fractals had become over-referenced, I'd say.
	12:47pm Brian in UK: I had a pair of Fractal trousers in the mid Seventies, felt just like suede, 'til I realised they were inside out.
	12:48pm Tony Coulter: Ha!
	12:59pm Dean: Get ready for a resurgence of fractals. The word appears in the lyrics to one of the popular tunes in the movie "Frozen" (alliteration, obviously), which my kids watch and sing incessantly.
	1:00pm Tony Coulter: Hey Dean!
	1:04pm Uncle Michael: What ho!
	1:04pm Chris from DC: Ack, missed Family Fodder.
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Uncle M! Dug your last show, btw -- listened to it last night.
	1:05pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Chris!
	1:06pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Tony. It was pretty decent. I don't know what got into me.
	1:06pm Tony Coulter: Morgan, on now, is Morgan Fisher's early '70s prog band!
	1:08pm Tony Coulter: I must say that Morgan Fisher has worn an unusually diverse array of musical hats over the years.
	1:12pm Rich in Washington: Wow! That's Morgan Fisher? Of The Hybrid Kidz?
	1:13pm Rich in Washington: He's still at it, I guess. His original Miniatures comp is one of my all-time favorite LPs
	1:13pm Tony Coulter: Yep -- same guy!
	1:14pm Rich in Washington: I think I read somewhere that he became a follower of Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh, later known as Osho. Northwest listeners would remember them as the red clad Rajneeshis.
	1:15pm Tony Coulter: He did. And, of course, he was in Mott the Hoople too.
	1:16pm Tony Coulter: Another sinister cult.
	1:16pm Rich in Washington: when he was all younger, dude.
	1:17pm Rich in Washington: at least Mott the Hoople never tried to poison a whole town via salad bars.
	1:20pm Tony Coulter: What IS a "hoople," anyhow?
	1:22pm Rich in Washington: This sounds like an intriguing comp. Regional rock scenes of the 60s/70s were fascinating. Have you seen the doc about Texas rock called Teen A Go Go? Pretty cool.
	1:25pm Tony Coulter: Yeah, that Memphis comp is a good one. Haven't seen that Texas doc yet -- have been meaning to.
	1:28pm Uncle Michael: A Hoople is Mott. Mott is the one true Hoople. They weren't called Mott; a Hoople, after all.
	1:29pm pacific standard simon: A Hoople is a population of Hoops.
	1:29pm DCE: you could probably write a doctoral thesis on that, UM
	🥁 1:34pm listener james from westwood: The term "hoople" was used in "Deadwood" as a term of derision for the rubes that populated the camp. Al Swearengen, frequent fleecer of said rubes, also referred to them individually as "hoopleheads." No new wisdom arose as a result on its real-world origin.
	1:39pm Tony Coulter: Memphis in the house again....
	1:40pm Rich in Washington: According to the Urban Dictionary: "Hoople A useless or self-serving organization. A wasteful business run by incompetents. A public sector organization with no useful purpose other than to generate paperwork, internal reports and provide incomes for its executives."
	1:41pm pacific standard simon: Like the Laps who live in Lapland, the Hoops live in Hoopland (a bit west of the Transvaal, I believe). There, because of an isolation-derived genetic mutation, they are uniquely subject to an infection known as "hooping cough", which is accompanied by a strange upward rippling motion in the torso.
	1:43pm Brian in UK: Just had a classic dog chases cat round the house. @pss The Lapps are good dancers too.
	1:43pm pacific standard simon: Whoops, look at the time -- gotta run!
	1:44pm Tony Coulter: Mott the Whoopsle -- see ya, P.S. Simon!
	1:48pm Carmichael: Oh my gosh, I have the Queen live DVD Queen On Fire. Morgan Fisher plays keys on Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: And now it's Zedd the Moplin.
	1:51pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: I NEED SOME MILK, Hi Tony, Got some Led Zep on wireless tonight - well done.
	1:53pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Cornflake!
	1:53pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: could someone please enlighten me - TOMMY BOLIN - WAS HE A FUSION JAZZ GUITARIST OR AN EARLY ROCK GUITARIST? - IS HE DEAD OR WHAT?
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: Dead as a doornail. Style-wise, a bit of both.
	1:57pm DCE: Tommy liked the drugs too much
	1:59pm Brian in UK: .......and the drugs liked Tommy.
	2:00pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: Here is another bit of confusion in my mind Black Oak Arkansas were they a southern bogie band or a late 60s acid rock band?
	2:02pm Carmichael: Southern (from Arkansas) rock band, played boogie and hard rock.
	2:03pm steve: hey Tony, just tuning in. i just a few days ago rediscovered my copy of Matmos The Civil War LP. what a great album, apparently forgot i had it for the past 7+ years.
	2:03pm Tony Coulter: B.O.A. are quite comically over the top -- I shall play them on the show some day.
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Steve-o!
	2:04pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: So is the Musicworks mag like The Wire UK arty farty mag for music anal retentives?
	2:06pm northguineahills: Yeah, Matmos' 'Civil War' is pretty frickin' sweet.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: Sort of Wire-like, yes -- from Canada, though.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: Hey ho, NGH!
	2:10pm Tony Coulter: Pretty sure that Musicworks has been around longer than The Wire -- goes way back.
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: I leave for a moment and all this Vielgestältiglasterhaft goes on...
	2:11pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Pity me for having to type that word.
	2:12pm steve: which track was the "who wants to die i do not" ??
	2:13pm Tony Coulter: Same thing as what's on now -- was the beginning of "Vielgestältiglasterhaft"
	2:14pm Tony Coulter: Thank god for cut-and-paste.
	2:18pm northguineahills: Been here since noon, just busy w/ other things. Today's set is kicking ass, thanks Tony!
	2:18pm Dean: Nothing, except perhaps the two major US audiophile magazines, comes close to The Wire's knack for pretentious baloney. But I'm biased, 'cuz Musicworks favorably reviewed a paper I wrote (not without a hint of pretentious baloney) in its Summer 2005 issue, and lately a buddy of mine has been writing regularly for MW.
	2:19pm Dean: "Thank god for cut-and-paste." Precisely. That's what "Vielgestältiglasterhaft" means!
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, NGH!
	2:21pm Rich in Washington: Whooo!!! I cherish my editions of Songs in the Key of Z, the book and CDs. Irwin's like the Harry Smith of crazy, delusional musicians.
	2:22pm Carmichael: I didn't realize Irwin put out a 2nd volume of Key of Z. Just one more thing to buy.
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: Think it's up to Vol. 4, actually -- I need 3 and 4 myself (being far from FMU's library).
	2:27pm Elvez Hoople: "All the Way To Memphis"
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: I'm talking CD comps, not books.
	2:27pm Rich in Washington: Woah! I had no idea! There's a 3 and 4?! Are they commercially available or are they just made for WFMU's library?
	2:29pm Tony Coulter: They are commercially available -- think they're pretty recent?
	2:29pm Rich in Washington: I've sent Irwin stuff I've found or stuff crazy people have sent me. Especially stuff I don't want to play on the air because it's local and I don't want the people stabbing me outside of the radio station.
	2:31pm Rich in Washington: I do know the original CDs where reissued as one double CD fairly recently. I have it. In fact, when I got it, one of the CDs is misprinted so it looks like I had two disc 1s, when the content is indeed 1 and 2. I had to mark one so I knew which was which
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: OOPS!! my mistake. There are only 2 volumes after all. The others are just reissues w/ different packaging. As you were.
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: Should also mention that Sam Gopal is a person as well as a band -- he's their percussionist.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: I've always been curious about Sam Gopal's music.
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: It's not much like Motorhead.
	2:43pm Future Tense: "The Past Sure is Tense"
	2:44pm Kay: Thanks for the tip about Key of Z. I just had volume 1. I realized my music service had three more volumes available for download, plus some additional tracks for volume 1. Wish I could see the book(s?).
	2:44pm still b/p: Hoople-a: In the 70s, mentions of Mott the Hoople kept bringing to mind Major Hoople, whom I was seeing daily. www.bullworks.net... Also, apropos "the one true Hoople," I recall a 70s radio promo for a show or an album that said the band is properly or fashionably referred to as just "the Hoople." Don't know if that was a band idea, a promo writer idea or a record company idea. As of yesterday, I have now seen just one episode of Deadwood, and wouldn't ya know, in that episode Wild Bill got it.
	2:45pm Carmichael: Just read John Martyn's bio; didn't know too much about him. This is his 1st wife, yes?
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Kay!
	2:46pm Tony Coulter: @ Carmichael:I believe so, yes.
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: i.e., don't think it was his sister.
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Thank god I wasn't doing this show on TV. My wife just pointed out that I forgot to comb my hair when I got up this morning. Apparently, I've been sporting a ridiculous cowlick.
	2:49pm Carmichael: I recall that he married a promising folksinger who gave up her career for him. In hindsight, worst move ever.
	2:51pm northguineahills: Thanks Tony. Had fun!
	2:52pm Dean: Ridiculous Cowlick...great name for a band.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the superior cow licking, Tony.
	2:55pm Rich in Washington: I was born with a ridiculous cowlick. My hair is my worst enemy.
	2:56pm Rich in Washington: thanks for a fun show, Tony!
	2:56pm indeterminacy: Thanks for another horizon-smashing selection!
	🥁 2:56pm listener james from westwood: Many many thanks for the fab show!!
	2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody!! See you next time!
	2:57pm Ike: This cow tastes like margarine instead of butter!
	3:06pm Kay: Now my music player has 100 new songs in the Key of Z, yeah!

	1:51pm Tony Coulter: And now it's Zedd the Moplin.
	1:51pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: I NEED SOME MILK, Hi Tony, Got some Led Zep on wireless tonight - well done.
	1:53pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Cornflake!
	1:53pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: could someone please enlighten me - TOMMY BOLIN - WAS HE A FUSION JAZZ GUITARIST OR AN EARLY ROCK GUITARIST? - IS HE DEAD OR WHAT?
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: Dead as a doornail. Style-wise, a bit of both.
	1:57pm DCE: Tommy liked the drugs too much
	1:59pm Brian in UK: .......and the drugs liked Tommy.
	2:00pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: Here is another bit of confusion in my mind Black Oak Arkansas were they a southern bogie band or a late 60s acid rock band?
	2:02pm Carmichael: Southern (from Arkansas) rock band, played boogie and hard rock.
	2:03pm steve: hey Tony, just tuning in. i just a few days ago rediscovered my copy of Matmos The Civil War LP. what a great album, apparently forgot i had it for the past 7+ years.
	2:03pm Tony Coulter: B.O.A. are quite comically over the top -- I shall play them on the show some day.
	2:04pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, Steve-o!
	2:04pm SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE: So is the Musicworks mag like The Wire UK arty farty mag for music anal retentives?
	2:06pm northguineahills: Yeah, Matmos' 'Civil War' is pretty frickin' sweet.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: Sort of Wire-like, yes -- from Canada, though.
	2:06pm Tony Coulter: Hey ho, NGH!
	2:10pm Tony Coulter: Pretty sure that Musicworks has been around longer than The Wire -- goes way back.
	2:10pm Rich in Washington: I leave for a moment and all this Vielgestältiglasterhaft goes on...
	2:11pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Pity me for having to type that word.
	2:12pm steve: which track was the "who wants to die i do not" ??
	2:13pm Tony Coulter: Same thing as what's on now -- was the beginning of "Vielgestältiglasterhaft"
	2:14pm Tony Coulter: Thank god for cut-and-paste.
	2:18pm northguineahills: Been here since noon, just busy w/ other things. Today's set is kicking ass, thanks Tony!
	2:18pm Dean: Nothing, except perhaps the two major US audiophile magazines, comes close to The Wire's knack for pretentious baloney. But I'm biased, 'cuz Musicworks favorably reviewed a paper I wrote (not without a hint of pretentious baloney) in its Summer 2005 issue, and lately a buddy of mine has been writing regularly for MW.
	2:19pm Dean: "Thank god for cut-and-paste." Precisely. That's what "Vielgestältiglasterhaft" means!
	2:20pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, NGH!
	2:21pm Rich in Washington: Whooo!!! I cherish my editions of Songs in the Key of Z, the book and CDs. Irwin's like the Harry Smith of crazy, delusional musicians.
	2:22pm Carmichael: I didn't realize Irwin put out a 2nd volume of Key of Z. Just one more thing to buy.
	2:23pm Tony Coulter: Think it's up to Vol. 4, actually -- I need 3 and 4 myself (being far from FMU's library).
	2:27pm Elvez Hoople: "All the Way To Memphis"
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: I'm talking CD comps, not books.
	2:27pm Rich in Washington: Woah! I had no idea! There's a 3 and 4?! Are they commercially available or are they just made for WFMU's library?
	2:29pm Tony Coulter: They are commercially available -- think they're pretty recent?
	2:29pm Rich in Washington: I've sent Irwin stuff I've found or stuff crazy people have sent me. Especially stuff I don't want to play on the air because it's local and I don't want the people stabbing me outside of the radio station.
	2:31pm Rich in Washington: I do know the original CDs where reissued as one double CD fairly recently. I have it. In fact, when I got it, one of the CDs is misprinted so it looks like I had two disc 1s, when the content is indeed 1 and 2. I had to mark one so I knew which was which
	2:34pm Tony Coulter: OOPS!! my mistake. There are only 2 volumes after all. The others are just reissues w/ different packaging. As you were.
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: Should also mention that Sam Gopal is a person as well as a band -- he's their percussionist.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: I've always been curious about Sam Gopal's music.
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: It's not much like Motorhead.
	2:43pm Future Tense: "The Past Sure is Tense"
	2:44pm Kay: Thanks for the tip about Key of Z. I just had volume 1. I realized my music service had three more volumes available for download, plus some additional tracks for volume 1. Wish I could see the book(s?).
	2:44pm still b/p: Hoople-a: In the 70s, mentions of Mott the Hoople kept bringing to mind Major Hoople, whom I was seeing daily. www.bullworks.net... Also, apropos "the one true Hoople," I recall a 70s radio promo for a show or an album that said the band is properly or fashionably referred to as just "the Hoople." Don't know if that was a band idea, a promo writer idea or a record company idea. As of yesterday, I have now seen just one episode of Deadwood, and wouldn't ya know, in that episode Wild Bill got it.
	2:45pm Carmichael: Just read John Martyn's bio; didn't know too much about him. This is his 1st wife, yes?
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Kay!
	2:46pm Tony Coulter: @ Carmichael:I believe so, yes.
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: i.e., don't think it was his sister.
	2:49pm Tony Coulter: Thank god I wasn't doing this show on TV. My wife just pointed out that I forgot to comb my hair when I got up this morning. Apparently, I've been sporting a ridiculous cowlick.
	2:49pm Carmichael: I recall that he married a promising folksinger who gave up her career for him. In hindsight, worst move ever.
	2:51pm northguineahills: Thanks Tony. Had fun!
	2:52pm Dean: Ridiculous Cowlick...great name for a band.
	2:54pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the superior cow licking, Tony.
	2:55pm Rich in Washington: I was born with a ridiculous cowlick. My hair is my worst enemy.
	2:56pm Rich in Washington: thanks for a fun show, Tony!
	2:56pm indeterminacy: Thanks for another horizon-smashing selection!
	🥁 2:56pm listener james from westwood: Many many thanks for the fab show!!
	2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody!! See you next time!
	2:57pm Ike: This cow tastes like margarine instead of butter!
	3:06pm Kay: Now my music player has 100 new songs in the Key of Z, yeah!
