Listener comments!
	3:02pm Michael 98145: [ now THAT's a strange martyrdom! ]
	👻 3:05pm βrian: Gin, gin. Now I'm thinking of gin.
	👻 3:08pm chris: mean bunny! nice tunes! hey Irwin, and other groovy peoples
	3:08pm Michael 98145: another bad night for the knight -
	3:08pm Brendan: Gin is a kind mistress. Probably even a dominatrix. Other spirits have had me heaving and I stay away. Not so much gin.
	3:08pm Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Irwin, and Chusidians. Didn't I see this killer rabbit on GOT?
	3:09pm Dean: Emailed this to Doug S. and Jeff G. this a.m. Listeners here might enjoy, too. It's the audio archive of predominantly live recordings by Don Ellis, most in Southern California: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Ellis%2C+Don%22
	3:12pm Polyus: Boogarins have a brand new live album out that is pretty good. They take their music much further out than the studio recordings would suggest.
	👻 3:13pm βrian: The scribe has noted in the margins that rabbits have no opposable digits.
	3:14pm Passaic River Blues: @Dean: thanks for that link.
	3:15pm Brendan: @Sem i think that might be the killer rabbit from Monty Python's Holy Grail .
	3:16pm Sem Chumbo: haha@ βrian. @Brenden: I heard all the Pythons were avid illuminated manuscript readers.
	3:17pm Irwin: Not a great drum solo, adequate.
	3:19pm Brendan: Come to think of it I think I id'd that bunny in a lineup. He and that hedgehog Norman did the perp walk
	3:19pm Sem Chumbo: viz: above medium.com...
	👻 3:21pm βrian: That was no hedgehog. That was a whistlepig.
	3:21pm coelacanth∅: βrian, i read somewhere that hare's are having velcro surgically attached to their pads, and then they get help attaching velcro to household items, like swords.
	3:28pm Hoboken Jack: If I could like this show 463 times, I would.
	👻 3:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Fortunately, the year of the rabbit doesn't strike again until 2023. We have some time.
	3:32pm Brendan: No bunnies were actually harmed in the painting. However the human...
	👻 3:33pm βrian: I'm thinking: Lapin à la moutarde.
	👻 3:35pm AnAnonymousParty: Just goes to show you: Beware of rabbits wearing belts.
	3:36pm King Arthur: That's why we relied on the Holy Hand Grenade.
	3:37pm coelacanth∅: ...even if it's only an orange belt.
	3:41pm Hoboken Jack: How I envy the bonus limbs.
	👻 3:42pm Ken From Hyde Park: Notice the eerie, subtle resemblance between the rabbit's face and that of the current sitting US president? The guy is going to go medieval on us real soon.
	👻 3:45pm AnAnonymousParty: Yeah, well it's snowing here.
	3:47pm LaVaLaTweme: ooh I like diz
	3:52pm Irwin: Someone remind me who Brian Brain was. A pseud for someone in PiL?
	3:55pm Irwin: Ah, Martin Atkins, PiL drummer.
	3:55pm Dean: Martin Atkins. Yes, PIL.
	4:04pm Hoboken Jack: Jersey City's own Richie Havens!
	4:05pm Irwin: Did he live in Hoboken for a spell, Jack?
	4:06pm Brian in New Orleans: Richie is my father in law! his daughter Bekah is my wife....
	4:06pm dale: love these music factory clips. irwin - at the top of the page is that the bunny from monty python and the holy grail?
	4:07pm Brian in NEW Orleans: Richie last NJ home was in Jersey City. he had a home here in New Orleans
	4:08pm melinda: This is beautiful.
	4:09pm Dean: How cool it must be having Richie Havens for a FIL!
	4:10pm Dean: Mass in b minor
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: i once parked on the outskirts of hoboken then as we walked toward the heart of it we heard Richie Havens' unmistakable singing. it was a free street concert. that was lucky. he was as good as anything i'd ever heard by him. rest in peace.
	4:10pm Brian in New Orleans: truly a gifted spirit even if u didn't know who he was he had a certain calmness that could fill a room
	4:14pm geezerette: He was some kind of genius.
	4:14pm Listener Robert: This isn't something I do a lot, but at least this time I have a good target to get it out of my system: This particular cut being played in this Music Factory is one of the worst recorded pieces I've heard -- worthy of Atrocious Music.
	4:16pm Listener Robert: To identify it further for those listening on archive, it was the piece just before the MGM Records ad.
	4:17pm dale: great sopwith camel song, who i knew nothing about.
	4:17pm Irwin: The complete program playlist for the Music Factory will be posted after the full 3-hr block is uploaded to the archives.
	4:19pm flashbazbo: This is the song that sounds like trail of dead
	👻 4:20pm Mark the Sardine: Thanks, @Brian in New Orleans... never knew the RH/NOLA connection. I love the city. Geaux Saints
	4:20pm Dean: Wonder what was up with the GWTW s/t. Music performed by an orchestra "from" the movie was released in '61 on MGM, but the actual s/t didn't appear until '67.
	4:21pm Irwin: Sopwith Camel were one-hit wonders, but that one hit became a standard: "Hello, Hello."
	4:21pm Listener Robert: It also had that quality that I couldn't say, "So bad it's good." Badly sung to a bad arrangement of bad music. Not on key, but not Sprechstimme, and not cute like a child or someone trying to sing on key. Too much cymbal in the mix too.
	4:24pm Listener Robert: Whew! I logged in just to get that out. I'm sure I won't have to revisit my "tough critic" persona again for a while...right, Ol' Pal?
	4:25pm dgg: haha what? a hitler the housepainter joke?
	4:26pm Irwin: Wilson quotes Lord Buckley. I'm sure most of his listeners in 1968 had no idea who.
	4:27pm dgg: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:29pm Irwin: They probably thought he meant WFB.
	4:34pm P: Tom Wilson understands what a trade balance and a trade deficit both mean. Wow, some people "working" in our government don't even understand the terms.
	4:34pm Dean: Dr. Demento was playing LB in the mid-'70s. Pretty sure that's where/when I first heard him.
	4:35pm Listener Robert: Thanks, dgg. I don't know what possessed me to look at that Wikipedia entry, because I'd thought all the humor in Lord Buckley was encompassed in his performances, recordings of some of which I'd heard, but I picked up a little tidbit in the article: a clue to what the hand-acted Chez Bippy segments on Soupy Sales's show were named for.
	4:36pm flashbazbo: Is this a song I know?
	4:36pm Mr. Lowry: I have something that adds drums to this. I can't remember what it is!
	4:37pm Irwin: Wilson graduated Harvard cum laude with a degree in Economics (IIRC).
	4:37pm Michael 98145: thanx. i need to re-watch some of those old soupy sales videos
	4:42pm Irwin: Richie had such an authoritative singing voice.
	4:42pm Sem Chumbo: Great to hear Mr. Havens, singular voice.
	4:44pm coelacanth∅: this is extraordinary
	4:45pm Michael 98145: this is such a great time machine ..
	4:45pm Brian in New Orleans: Richie sounds awesome in my truck!
	4:45pm Sem Chumbo: The energy coming from somewhere so deep.
	4:48pm Irwin: I recently upgraded my audio restoration software (moved to iZotope RX5) so future eps of TMF might sound a little cleaner. There's a lot of distortion in the pressings. In many cases I replaced the embedded music tracks with remastered versions.
	4:50pm Michael 98145: [ we thank you ]
	4:51pm Irwin: Harvey Brooks on bass on Handsome Johnny.
	4:51pm geezerette: Singular.
	4:52pm Irwin: This track was co-written by Louis Gossett Jr.
	4:52pm coelacanth∅: your dedication is a service to music Lovers and historians alike.
	4:52pm geezerette: How wonderful! What a combination.
	4:53pm Irwin: The bass is amazing. It IS the arrangement.
	4:53pm geezerette: ...& what coel said.
	4:54pm dgg: wow, beautiful song
	4:56pm Passaic River Blues: @coel: word--truly appreciate the work put in week in/week out to air fascinating programming and unearthing the past.
	4:56pm Irwin: Brooks was a childhood buddy of Al Kooper, played on Koop's Super Session LP, was a member of Electric Flag, did an endless number of session dates.
	4:57pm Michael 98145: WFMU is probably the only station in the Universe playing this right now :)
	4:57pm Dean: Ali Akbar Khan moved his school to Marin a while ago, but a year or two ago a related music instrument shop--walls lined with sitars, etc.--appeared just a couple blocks from the Berkeley campus.
	4:58pm Irwin: Harvey Brooks: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:00pm Michael 98145: whoa, that was something. thank you.
	5:01pm Michael 98145: Janis!!
	5:02pm rsj: JAM! the best one
	5:02pm Cal Zone!: Thanks for playing these Music Factory shows...they are absolutely wonderful in every way!
	5:03pm Michael 98145: * Camel Sutra *
	5:03pm coelacanth∅: - so Brooks was one of the bassists for that band who's music didn't have a bass guitar in it. ...even a great session bassist couldn't make the soft parade tolerable.
	5:03pm dgg: they're great.
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: nice! Miles!
	5:09pm Irwin: Brooks is on Bitches Brew as well, not sure if he's on this track.
	5:10pm Irwin: Yep, two bassists on Pharaoh's Dance -- Brooks and Dave Holland.
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: yeah i wish i could hear the bass(es) on this. -'listening on a laptop
	5:11pm jkl: irwin chusid is a trump FOLLOWER lol
	5:12pm Jack: Harvey Brooks is on "Two Jews Blues" with Barry Goldberg and Mike Bloomfield. A great blues album.
	5:23pm maestroso: Certainly digging this Miles.
	5:27pm geezerette: Geri Allen!
	5:27pm geezerette: :)
	5:27pm Parq: That long, leisurely Miles groove was a tonic. And this piano piece matches its title perfectly.
	5:33pm coelacanth∅: obviously back in the ussr wins.
	5:33pm Passaic River Blues: Adore this album.
	5:35pm Irwin: Don't think I've heard a Deerhunter track I haven't enjoyed.
	5:35pm common: good evening.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Bitches Brew' started the day after Woodstock. Leisurely in a way, & in another always the subsurface roiling w/ Miles under the surface Cool - which fits the album title - & Woodstock intense in its' way too - full of strungut political frustration (Hendrix's National Anthem) last summer of the 60s, if you actually watch or listen to it. Contrast to the Music Factory around two years earlier.
	5:40pm Passaic River Blues: @Irwin: come to think of it, I guess you're right. Brad Cox!
	5:40pm Irwin: BB, Jack Johnson, In a Silent Way -- love one, love 'em all. Fertile spell for Miles.
	5:41pm Irwin: And a radical break with what he did before (which was marvelous too, but more tied to hard bop).
	5:45pm geezerette: I'm a sucker for his ballads too.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm always on about how the expanded Silent Way box was a revelation for me. 1st - the acoustic to electric transition was not just suddenly BB whomp there it is - & also how it relates to the forming of Ambient w/ Joe Zawinul. Mixing & major Editing were Rawk~Pop - in Jazz you were supposed to just know how to blow & get it - like all those divine BlueNote rekkids...
	5:48pm Parq: If I recall, he got a lot of flack from traditionalists for that new direction. I seem to remember reading a news article about how he was not, for the first time in years, on the roster of what was then still known as the Newport Jazz Fest. Someone was quoted as saying some newspaper-friendly equivalent of "fuck Miles", adding "he's playing rock now!" Oh well.
	5:48pm Irwin: RRN63: Only recently got the expanded. It's a LOT to take in. Amazing how much quality material they decided NOT to release.
	5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in Rawk~Pop it's a lot about Sounds...Listening to Beatle-themed podcasts & they often lament that what Sony Legacy does isn't standard everywhere...
	5:51pm Linda Lee: is there another fmu show where jazz is really featured? i don't think so! (considered while driving in the catskills today)
	5:51pm Michael 98145: ... or featured so well ?
	5:51pm Dean: Jeff Golick's Saturday morning (for my time zone) features a lot of "out" jazz, hence the name Destination: Out.
	5:52pm Irwin: Jazz has a broad def, LL. There are others on FMU who play stuff in the wider category.
	5:52pm Irwin: Just enough time to squeeze in some Hank Mobley.
	5:53pm Linda Lee: how come i miss it alla time? i must take this up with the space/time continuum ....
	5:54pm Linda Lee: i'm thinkin golden age 40s - 70s work under the more conventional defiinition. .. i hear so little!
	5:54pm geezerette: Dean, that's a great show too. Thanks Irwin,always time well spent.
	5:55pm Dean: I'm kinda the same way about classical. Kurt G. plays it now and then...and Irwin via Tom Wilson gave air time to Bach today! Also, Doug Schulkind plays lots of jazz from those decades, but again the tracks tend to be limit-testers.
	5:55pm Irwin: 50% of the jazz I feature is from the past 10 or 12 years.
	5:56pm Irwin: Lots of the artists I feature are still active, and some relatively young.
	5:56pm Irwin: Others, DOA.
	5:58pm Michael 98145: @Dean, thank you. i must check this out! wfmu.org...
	5:58pm Linda Lee: am i not listening properly? just looking for the stuff i recognize as 'jazz' (conventional standard instrumentation, 40s - 70s) & not really hearing the rest? could be!
	5:58pm geezerette: FMU has a much wider range of Jazz than LA's Jazz station.
	5:58pm Linda Lee: i must be aging.
	5:59pm Passaic River Blues: Loved TM & George Russell Smalltet today. Thank you, IC!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: :-D becoming not only deaf but curmudgeonly!
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin
	6:00pm geezerette: Linda Lee, it's on the GTD stream.
	6:00pm Linda Lee: thanks!
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There are of course many other stations/streams that have all kinds of Jazz. You need terrestrial radio tho'? 'Destination Out' is Sunday isn't it? 'Surface Noise' will have some - 'Long Rally' a good amount when it's on - Irene will play a bit...
	6:03pm Dean: Yep, RRN63, D:O is on Sundays. Thanks for the correction.
	8:30pm Listener Robert: That bad piece is identified as "Poem By The Sea", and it did not improve on my 2nd listen.

	4:48pm Irwin: I recently upgraded my audio restoration software (moved to iZotope RX5) so future eps of TMF might sound a little cleaner. There's a lot of distortion in the pressings. In many cases I replaced the embedded music tracks with remastered versions.
	4:50pm Michael 98145: [ we thank you ]
	4:51pm Irwin: Harvey Brooks on bass on Handsome Johnny.
	4:51pm geezerette: Singular.
	4:52pm Irwin: This track was co-written by Louis Gossett Jr.
	4:52pm coelacanth∅: your dedication is a service to music Lovers and historians alike.
	4:52pm geezerette: How wonderful! What a combination.
	4:53pm Irwin: The bass is amazing. It IS the arrangement.
	4:53pm geezerette: ...& what coel said.
	4:54pm dgg: wow, beautiful song
	4:56pm Passaic River Blues: @coel: word--truly appreciate the work put in week in/week out to air fascinating programming and unearthing the past.
	4:56pm Irwin: Brooks was a childhood buddy of Al Kooper, played on Koop's Super Session LP, was a member of Electric Flag, did an endless number of session dates.
	4:57pm Michael 98145: WFMU is probably the only station in the Universe playing this right now :)
	4:57pm Dean: Ali Akbar Khan moved his school to Marin a while ago, but a year or two ago a related music instrument shop--walls lined with sitars, etc.--appeared just a couple blocks from the Berkeley campus.
	4:58pm Irwin: Harvey Brooks: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:00pm Michael 98145: whoa, that was something. thank you.
	5:01pm Michael 98145: Janis!!
	5:02pm rsj: JAM! the best one
	5:02pm Cal Zone!: Thanks for playing these Music Factory shows...they are absolutely wonderful in every way!
	5:03pm Michael 98145: * Camel Sutra *
	5:03pm coelacanth∅: - so Brooks was one of the bassists for that band who's music didn't have a bass guitar in it. ...even a great session bassist couldn't make the soft parade tolerable.
	5:03pm dgg: they're great.
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: nice! Miles!
	5:09pm Irwin: Brooks is on Bitches Brew as well, not sure if he's on this track.
	5:10pm Irwin: Yep, two bassists on Pharaoh's Dance -- Brooks and Dave Holland.
	5:11pm coelacanth∅: yeah i wish i could hear the bass(es) on this. -'listening on a laptop
	5:11pm jkl: irwin chusid is a trump FOLLOWER lol
	5:12pm Jack: Harvey Brooks is on "Two Jews Blues" with Barry Goldberg and Mike Bloomfield. A great blues album.
	5:23pm maestroso: Certainly digging this Miles.
	5:27pm geezerette: Geri Allen!
	5:27pm geezerette: :)
	5:27pm Parq: That long, leisurely Miles groove was a tonic. And this piano piece matches its title perfectly.
	5:33pm coelacanth∅: obviously back in the ussr wins.
	5:33pm Passaic River Blues: Adore this album.
	5:35pm Irwin: Don't think I've heard a Deerhunter track I haven't enjoyed.
	5:35pm common: good evening.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Bitches Brew' started the day after Woodstock. Leisurely in a way, & in another always the subsurface roiling w/ Miles under the surface Cool - which fits the album title - & Woodstock intense in its' way too - full of strungut political frustration (Hendrix's National Anthem) last summer of the 60s, if you actually watch or listen to it. Contrast to the Music Factory around two years earlier.
	5:40pm Passaic River Blues: @Irwin: come to think of it, I guess you're right. Brad Cox!
	5:40pm Irwin: BB, Jack Johnson, In a Silent Way -- love one, love 'em all. Fertile spell for Miles.
	5:41pm Irwin: And a radical break with what he did before (which was marvelous too, but more tied to hard bop).
	5:45pm geezerette: I'm a sucker for his ballads too.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm always on about how the expanded Silent Way box was a revelation for me. 1st - the acoustic to electric transition was not just suddenly BB whomp there it is - & also how it relates to the forming of Ambient w/ Joe Zawinul. Mixing & major Editing were Rawk~Pop - in Jazz you were supposed to just know how to blow & get it - like all those divine BlueNote rekkids...
	5:48pm Parq: If I recall, he got a lot of flack from traditionalists for that new direction. I seem to remember reading a news article about how he was not, for the first time in years, on the roster of what was then still known as the Newport Jazz Fest. Someone was quoted as saying some newspaper-friendly equivalent of "fuck Miles", adding "he's playing rock now!" Oh well.
	5:48pm Irwin: RRN63: Only recently got the expanded. It's a LOT to take in. Amazing how much quality material they decided NOT to release.
	5:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...in Rawk~Pop it's a lot about Sounds...Listening to Beatle-themed podcasts & they often lament that what Sony Legacy does isn't standard everywhere...
	5:51pm Linda Lee: is there another fmu show where jazz is really featured? i don't think so! (considered while driving in the catskills today)
	5:51pm Michael 98145: ... or featured so well ?
	5:51pm Dean: Jeff Golick's Saturday morning (for my time zone) features a lot of "out" jazz, hence the name Destination: Out.
	5:52pm Irwin: Jazz has a broad def, LL. There are others on FMU who play stuff in the wider category.
	5:52pm Irwin: Just enough time to squeeze in some Hank Mobley.
	5:53pm Linda Lee: how come i miss it alla time? i must take this up with the space/time continuum ....
	5:54pm Linda Lee: i'm thinkin golden age 40s - 70s work under the more conventional defiinition. .. i hear so little!
	5:54pm geezerette: Dean, that's a great show too. Thanks Irwin,always time well spent.
	5:55pm Dean: I'm kinda the same way about classical. Kurt G. plays it now and then...and Irwin via Tom Wilson gave air time to Bach today! Also, Doug Schulkind plays lots of jazz from those decades, but again the tracks tend to be limit-testers.
	5:55pm Irwin: 50% of the jazz I feature is from the past 10 or 12 years.
	5:56pm Irwin: Lots of the artists I feature are still active, and some relatively young.
	5:56pm Irwin: Others, DOA.
	5:58pm Michael 98145: @Dean, thank you. i must check this out! wfmu.org...
	5:58pm Linda Lee: am i not listening properly? just looking for the stuff i recognize as 'jazz' (conventional standard instrumentation, 40s - 70s) & not really hearing the rest? could be!
	5:58pm geezerette: FMU has a much wider range of Jazz than LA's Jazz station.
	5:58pm Linda Lee: i must be aging.
	5:59pm Passaic River Blues: Loved TM & George Russell Smalltet today. Thank you, IC!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: :-D becoming not only deaf but curmudgeonly!
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Irwin
	6:00pm geezerette: Linda Lee, it's on the GTD stream.
	6:00pm Linda Lee: thanks!
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There are of course many other stations/streams that have all kinds of Jazz. You need terrestrial radio tho'? 'Destination Out' is Sunday isn't it? 'Surface Noise' will have some - 'Long Rally' a good amount when it's on - Irene will play a bit...
	6:03pm Dean: Yep, RRN63, D:O is on Sundays. Thanks for the correction.
	8:30pm Listener Robert: That bad piece is identified as "Poem By The Sea", and it did not improve on my 2nd listen.
