	12:10pm steveo: hi; something is happening on the radiophone

	12:13pm steveo: Röcheln = moaning; could be a bilingual pun?

	12:15pm dancer boy: This makes me want to archive avant- ghetto

	12:19pm fred: I like this (Ernst Jandl). Brings back memories of Kenny G...
	12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Doncha love Deutsch ? Loves Deutsch.
	12:20pm steveo: 'Mona in Italian is a polite form of address originating as "ma donna" – similar to "Ma’am", "Madam", or "my lady" in English. This became "madonna", and its contraction "mona". The title of the painting, though traditionally spelled "Mona" (as used by Vasari), is also commonly spelled in modern Italian as Monna Lisa ("mona" being a vulgarity in some Italian dialects) but this is rare in English.[citation needed]' --wikipedia
	12:20pm BVP: I need subtitles.
	12:21pm peapod ross: I'm scared now.
	12:21pm jaysit: LHOOQ
	12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Papa Duchamp...
	12:22pm Kurt Gottschalk: thx, stevo. bvp: the next track on the cd explains this track. it's also in german. peapod, don't worry, i won't play it.
	12:22pm Marshall Stacks: Love this. It's right up there with Kurt Schwitters.
	12:23pm Kurt Gottschalk: jaysit, spqr (but later).
	12:24pm steveo: Elle a chaud au cul.
	12:24pm Jeff Moore: An die Freunde?
	12:25pm peapod ross: someone get this man his fraoude or whatever.
	12:26pm fred: This reminds me of the time someone in my office asked me to play what I was listening to out loud. It was Kenny G. That never happened again
	12:27pm karen eliot: ahhhhhhhh
	12:28pm peapod ross: @fred ahaha sometimes I accidentally yank the headphones out of the computer and that's always interesting.
	12:29pm jaysit: kenny g the artist or kenny g the wfmu dj?
	12:29pm jaysit: i miss kenny g's show
	12:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @fred: 'Noise' by Jacques Attali : Not the usual treatise on the metaphysics of Music - but Music as Weapon - as Territorial definer of space... Could it be this that brings us together? The Aquarian Age paradox of uniting over the inability to unite...
	12:36pm fred: @RevRab: A friend is writing her PhD thesis on the DIY noise scene. And she got a 3-year scholarship to do it! (The funding is gone by now, but socio-musicology scholarships are rare here, like at most one a year over the whole country)
	12:37pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, she must be a nervous wreck by now.
	12:38pm Planet Tyler: I always play wfmu out loud in my office...but then again it's mostly empty. Super fun when someone comes in though. I never turn it off. Down maybe but no one makes me turn it off.
	12:39pm Kurt Gottschalk: plan ty, thumzup.
	12:42pm fred: @Kurt: She seems to be doing fine, by the standards of thesis-writing graduate students at least (I never did that, but I work at a research institute)
	12:43pm Kurt Gottschalk: good to hear. i find a need a doo-wop break every so often.
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In 'This Is Your Brain On Music' - a takeaway is that a major metric of Music's appeal is the balance of familiarity ('this sound is recognizable as Music') - w/ novelty ('this Music is surprising & intriguing & has my attention'). So - how do you explain us??
	12:55pm fred: @RevRab: I originally misread Marcel's show title as "was that music?". It didn't seem out of place on the station
	12:58pm Kat in Chicago: Haha fred!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Putting it in the past tense...If Music is an attempt to arrange vibration in some kind of harmony - or @ least pattern...what does it all mean, Mr.Natural?? Another takeaway from same book: Music uses more dif parts of the brain than about anything else...that's a big takeaway, seems to me...
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (We have fMRIs now. Pattern is therefore discussed much in the age-old body-brain-mind Consciousness...thang...)
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Feel Roy is under-credited LennonBeatle influence...even his glasses & stance...
	1:10pm northguineahills: I'd try for tix for my wife, but weeknights are tricky for her to make due to an unpredictable work schedule.
	1:11pm Devin B.: @RevRab: That's really interesting - about music engaging more parts of the brain than other stimuli. Seems to explain what we get from it better than the theory about balancing familiarity and novelty.
	1:12pm northguineahills: wow, I missed DJ Wally, I met him on few occasions.
	1:13pm geezerette: Object Collection sounds like the inside of my head these days.
	1:13pm Chris from DC: Yay this!
	1:14pm Passaic River Blues: This sounds not half bad.
	1:14pm fred: @RevRab: fMRI is overhyped. The technology is just too expensive, so studies often involve a dozen people (often grad students) and make sweeping generalizations Also, MES!
	1:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - it's the Latest Thing - but interesting. A MES scan might've been worthwhile...
	1:16pm Devin B.: This is great! Sounds like Jud Jud doing Ketjak.
	1:17pm spodiodi: it's the lyrics
	1:18pm geezerette: Great set. Things really started sliding under Reagan/Thatcher/"Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous".
	1:18pm northguineahills: @Devin: I think that's nearly the point....
	1:19pm Michael 98145: sorry. this is making me smile.
	1:19pm Guido from Cologne: WIRE!
	1:20pm Chris from DC: Also yay for anything from 154.
	1:20pm Michael 98145: yes
	1:20pm Guido from Cologne: one of the best albums ever
	1:21pm Michael 98145: guess i have to invest in the updated Wire collection -
	1:21pm Planet Tyler: This is an awesome show!
	1:22pm Devin B.: Holy crap
	1:22pm Guido from Cologne: a song by This Heat
	1:23pm geezerette: Kurt, brilliant set. :D
	1:24pm Chris from DC: Wow, great cover.
	1:25pm northguineahills: Sleepytime Gorrilla Museum covering This Heat!. I miss Mer, (great cellist)
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: greetings Kurt and all
	1:27pm fred: Straight To Hell!
	1:28pm Zetti: Man, I miss Joe.
	1:28pm Michael 98145: ( we're working on that over here, @fred )
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: Zetti, yeah.
	1:29pm geezerette: We're already in the anteroom.
	1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: His late stuff was kewl.
	1:29pm chris: we seem to be signing up for back stage passes, as well...
	1:29pm JakeGould: We’ll definitely have a second term of hell at this rate in the U.S. And… Hello Kurt!
	1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...can the Clash help they looked so good??...
	1:32pm northguineahills: We're already there.... (hell).
	1:32pm northguineahills: shakes tiny impotent fist at Jake....
	1:35pm fred: "no asylum here" timely lyrics, in many places
	1:38pm Michael 98145: oh, just great. now i have -another- bandcamp site to get lost in ...
	1:38pm Passaic River Blues: @Fred: yeah, varies to the extent, but applicable nearly everywhere.
	1:38pm Michael 98145: kill the great raven
	1:39pm steveo: i bought combat rock from a record club so I knew it was never real punk (ducking)
	1:48pm Michael 98145: heh
	1:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): No wire hangers!
	1:49pm squoon: I've never heard this beach boys tune
	1:51pm geezerette: Kenzo, exactly! heh.
	1:51pm JakeGould: @NGH: He might be incompetent, but he’s now President and probably will be around till 2024. Gimme that kinda incompetence and a paycheck please!
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: AbsurdistSatire = baseline... I do think about being caffeine's bitch - in light of it making an effective pesticide inducing seizures in bugs...
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: steveo but it wasn't real punk.
	1:54pm steveo: i knew it!
	1:54pm fred: I'm close to reaching the point when I have to clicky-star the whole show
	1:55pm geezerette: NGH & Jake, he's a competent dictator. The inside of his cranium is a giant black hole of rage and neediness.
	1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He was born on an Eclipse, in fact. There's more...
	1:57pm coelacanth∅: i had no intention to get combat rock but someone gave it to me for xmas, knowing how much i loved the clash. (exactly what happened with "the wall" a few years earlier) it does have some good tracks though. (like straight to hell)
	1:57pm geezerette: RevRab, really?
	1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh, yes.
	1:58pm Kat in Chicago: Exposure is an album that I was never quite sure that I entirely liked, but I played the hell out of it and it had a huge influence on my future tastes.
	1:58pm geezerette: Incredible. How weirdly poetic.
	1:59pm Fashion Tashjian: I think I'm getting blazed off this.
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: i would've gotten more into exposure if the tracks were arranged differently
	2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As a gittardiddler alone - loves Fripp. @geez: That Eclipse is on the USA's chart's (7/4/1776) horizon - & on & on...he has the fixed star Regulus - star of Kings in Leo - on his Ascendant...w/ his Mars (think - BurntOrange)...Algol - star of dread & beheading top of his chart...everything you'd expect...
	2:04pm steveo: i really loved combat rock no matter what genre it is -- (i thought i saw lauren bacall ,,, in a car jam)
	2:06pm geezerette: RevRab, it's Shakespearean. Or like a dreadful opera. Chilling.
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: i did grow to like combat rock; i just had to skip "the hits" - i still can't stand should i stay or should i go.
	2:07pm P-90: Yo Kurt and krew
	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @geez: If we can call an Illiterate 'Shakespearean' in any reasonable way...It seems Fated, awlright...The USA is having a bit of a phase... Why can't Apple invent a Hit filter ?? If they're so damn rich...
	2:13pm Chris from DC: Oh hey, Jaap Bonk!
	2:14pm fred: @coel: I'm with you about "should I stay or should I go" @steveo: Name-dropping Lauren Bacall was a great move
	2:14pm Chris from DC: Blonk
	2:14pm fred: Th'Jaap!
	2:15pm geezerette: This sounds like the inside of Michael McMillen's "Garage" or Kienholz's "Barney's Beanery". RevRab, it's a nightmare. Fiction and satire are eclipsed.
	2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I used to get sounds like this tuning in 'static' on a multiband radio. If I knew electronics - I could say why...
	2:16pm steveo: i was 12 and musically naive so should i stay was just fine by me
	2:16pm fred: That settles it: Cage to Blonk segue means I have to clicky-star the whole show
	2:17pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred: <3
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Should I Stay' is a pretty great & widely applicable song. Partly why it's flatout overplayed.
	2:21pm fred: There's a Cage quote at the entrance of the theater where I see many dance shows: "I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I'm doing"
	2:22pm geezerette: Cage really cut to the quick.
	2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Friend of Yoko's I understand...
	2:24pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, that's a great quote.
	2:25pm Michael 98145: Taking some of Cage's classes at the Cornish School must've been -quite- the experience.
	2:25pm northguineahills: Kurt is best when I have no fookin' bloody clue what goin on....
	2:25pm geezerette: It is. That's how art gets made, in any form.
	2:25pm northguineahills: I know an Anne Adachi, related (also an experimental musician).
	2:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: ngh, <3
	2:26pm Michael 98145: That quote would make an excellent WFMU billboard.
	2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Play is the thing - by which we capture the Consciousness of the scene...
	2:29pm geezerette: I needed this show today. Thanks,Kurt. RevRab, nice!
	2:30pm Michael 98145: = The word asemic means "having no specific semantic content", or "without the smallest unit of meaning". =
	2:30pm geezerette: Kurt, Schwitters is smiling on you.
	2:30pm V Priceless: gotta boogie. Thanks KG!
	2:31pm Michael 98145: This sounds like twitter.
	2:32pm northguineahills: @Michael: either my inner-dialogues or existence (I really need to get out of existential stage, I'm far beyond a teenager). ;)
	2:32pm geezerette: Howdy, Michael! Hola, Coel! Alll you guys! :)
	2:34pm steveo: inspired segue
	2:34pm fred: That segue was jarring, in a good way
	2:39pm Michael 98145: hey, gz'ette. great show, eh wot?
	2:40pm geezerette: Michael, a timely keeper for sure!
	2:41pm fred: I just realized I haven't been to a single show in July. A month without shows. That hasn't happened in at least a decade. I'm officially old
	2:42pm Kat in Chicago: Have to go to lunch. Great show, Kurt!
	2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I always wanna joke track like that:...'not bad - one more take w/ feeling??'...but I didn't...
	2:47pm geezerette: Soul to drive the demons out. :)
	2:47pm Michael 98145: Spotify ain't ever gonna give you gifts like these.
	2:47pm geezerette: Frank!
	2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for TonyBennett's 92nd haha...
	2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BaroquePop!
	2:49pm Michael 98145: ( rhyming Portland with courtin' :)
	2:49pm geezerette: that voice...undeniable beauty.
	2:51pm geezerette: Kurt, this show is some kind of masterpiece.
	2:52pm Kurt Gottschalk: thanks for the kind words, y'all. i'm having fun up in here.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry g, but i don't like Frank's voice much! i'd rather hear the kingston trio version ...i agree with you about Kurt's show being a masterpiece though!
	2:54pm P-90: Who’s on lead guitar here?
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MilesDavis said Frank influenced him as a Musician. In PrePostMod days I hated him as a honky square - would mimic him...& realized - because I really liked him & Crooners. Clear case of came to laugh stayed to pray. Not all his output was his best...
	2:55pm Kurt Gottschalk: p90, earl slick
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: Earl Slick
	2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:56pm chris: thanks much, cap'n Kurt-tastic. super duper fun show.
	2:56pm P-90: Thought so, thanks much Kurt!
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: (the man in black, even on a 100 f degree day)
	2:56pm geezerette: Coel, I respect your contrariness. :) I say that with absolute sincerity, my friend.
	2:57pm Michael 98145: most excellent, thank you again, Kurt G. ★
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: ha Thanks g!
	2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1974 - an interesting transitional place for Boowie.
	2:57pm fred: Thanks Kurt
	2:59pm geezerette: Thanks Kurt.
	2:59pm Mick: This show was so good - thank you Kurt!
	2:59pm Michael 98145: ( spent a romantic afternoon in an Oakland pub years ago, with Frank's xmas collection playing ) (quite nice)
	2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course, Frank layed into Rawkers pretty hard...
	2:59pm steveo: just a wonderful wonderful show - thanks!
	3:00pm Devin B.: Amazing! Thanks Kurt!
	3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not exactly the warm Leo-ness of Tony Bennett...
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kurt!
	3:00pm northguineahills: zanks, Kurt! hearts to you!
	3:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx KG !

	12:55pm fred: @RevRab: I originally misread Marcel's show title as "was that music?". It didn't seem out of place on the station
	12:58pm Kat in Chicago: Haha fred!
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hm. Putting it in the past tense...If Music is an attempt to arrange vibration in some kind of harmony - or @ least pattern...what does it all mean, Mr.Natural?? Another takeaway from same book: Music uses more dif parts of the brain than about anything else...that's a big takeaway, seems to me...
	1:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (We have fMRIs now. Pattern is therefore discussed much in the age-old body-brain-mind Consciousness...thang...)
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Feel Roy is under-credited LennonBeatle influence...even his glasses & stance...
	1:10pm northguineahills: I'd try for tix for my wife, but weeknights are tricky for her to make due to an unpredictable work schedule.
	1:11pm Devin B.: @RevRab: That's really interesting - about music engaging more parts of the brain than other stimuli. Seems to explain what we get from it better than the theory about balancing familiarity and novelty.
	1:12pm northguineahills: wow, I missed DJ Wally, I met him on few occasions.
	1:13pm geezerette: Object Collection sounds like the inside of my head these days.
	1:13pm Chris from DC: Yay this!
	1:14pm Passaic River Blues: This sounds not half bad.
	1:14pm fred: @RevRab: fMRI is overhyped. The technology is just too expensive, so studies often involve a dozen people (often grad students) and make sweeping generalizations Also, MES!
	1:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah - it's the Latest Thing - but interesting. A MES scan might've been worthwhile...
	1:16pm Devin B.: This is great! Sounds like Jud Jud doing Ketjak.
	1:17pm spodiodi: it's the lyrics
	1:18pm geezerette: Great set. Things really started sliding under Reagan/Thatcher/"Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous".
	1:18pm northguineahills: @Devin: I think that's nearly the point....
	1:19pm Michael 98145: sorry. this is making me smile.
	1:19pm Guido from Cologne: WIRE!
	1:20pm Chris from DC: Also yay for anything from 154.
	1:20pm Michael 98145: yes
	1:20pm Guido from Cologne: one of the best albums ever
	1:21pm Michael 98145: guess i have to invest in the updated Wire collection -
	1:21pm Planet Tyler: This is an awesome show!
	1:22pm Devin B.: Holy crap
	1:22pm Guido from Cologne: a song by This Heat
	1:23pm geezerette: Kurt, brilliant set. :D
	1:24pm Chris from DC: Wow, great cover.
	1:25pm northguineahills: Sleepytime Gorrilla Museum covering This Heat!. I miss Mer, (great cellist)
	1:26pm coelacanth∅: greetings Kurt and all
	1:27pm fred: Straight To Hell!
	1:28pm Zetti: Man, I miss Joe.
	1:28pm Michael 98145: ( we're working on that over here, @fred )
	1:28pm coelacanth∅: Zetti, yeah.
	1:29pm geezerette: We're already in the anteroom.
	1:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: His late stuff was kewl.
	1:29pm chris: we seem to be signing up for back stage passes, as well...
	1:29pm JakeGould: We’ll definitely have a second term of hell at this rate in the U.S. And… Hello Kurt!
	1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...can the Clash help they looked so good??...
	1:32pm northguineahills: We're already there.... (hell).
	1:32pm northguineahills: shakes tiny impotent fist at Jake....
	1:35pm fred: "no asylum here" timely lyrics, in many places
	1:38pm Michael 98145: oh, just great. now i have -another- bandcamp site to get lost in ...
	1:38pm Passaic River Blues: @Fred: yeah, varies to the extent, but applicable nearly everywhere.
	1:38pm Michael 98145: kill the great raven
	1:39pm steveo: i bought combat rock from a record club so I knew it was never real punk (ducking)
	1:48pm Michael 98145: heh
	1:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): No wire hangers!
	1:49pm squoon: I've never heard this beach boys tune
	1:51pm geezerette: Kenzo, exactly! heh.
	1:51pm JakeGould: @NGH: He might be incompetent, but he’s now President and probably will be around till 2024. Gimme that kinda incompetence and a paycheck please!
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: AbsurdistSatire = baseline... I do think about being caffeine's bitch - in light of it making an effective pesticide inducing seizures in bugs...
	1:54pm coelacanth∅: steveo but it wasn't real punk.
	1:54pm steveo: i knew it!
	1:54pm fred: I'm close to reaching the point when I have to clicky-star the whole show
	1:55pm geezerette: NGH & Jake, he's a competent dictator. The inside of his cranium is a giant black hole of rage and neediness.
	1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He was born on an Eclipse, in fact. There's more...
	1:57pm coelacanth∅: i had no intention to get combat rock but someone gave it to me for xmas, knowing how much i loved the clash. (exactly what happened with "the wall" a few years earlier) it does have some good tracks though. (like straight to hell)
	1:57pm geezerette: RevRab, really?
	1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh, yes.
	1:58pm Kat in Chicago: Exposure is an album that I was never quite sure that I entirely liked, but I played the hell out of it and it had a huge influence on my future tastes.
	1:58pm geezerette: Incredible. How weirdly poetic.
	1:59pm Fashion Tashjian: I think I'm getting blazed off this.
	2:02pm coelacanth∅: i would've gotten more into exposure if the tracks were arranged differently
	2:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: As a gittardiddler alone - loves Fripp. @geez: That Eclipse is on the USA's chart's (7/4/1776) horizon - & on & on...he has the fixed star Regulus - star of Kings in Leo - on his Ascendant...w/ his Mars (think - BurntOrange)...Algol - star of dread & beheading top of his chart...everything you'd expect...
	2:04pm steveo: i really loved combat rock no matter what genre it is -- (i thought i saw lauren bacall ,,, in a car jam)
	2:06pm geezerette: RevRab, it's Shakespearean. Or like a dreadful opera. Chilling.
	2:06pm coelacanth∅: i did grow to like combat rock; i just had to skip "the hits" - i still can't stand should i stay or should i go.
	2:07pm P-90: Yo Kurt and krew
	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @geez: If we can call an Illiterate 'Shakespearean' in any reasonable way...It seems Fated, awlright...The USA is having a bit of a phase... Why can't Apple invent a Hit filter ?? If they're so damn rich...
	2:13pm Chris from DC: Oh hey, Jaap Bonk!
	2:14pm fred: @coel: I'm with you about "should I stay or should I go" @steveo: Name-dropping Lauren Bacall was a great move
	2:14pm Chris from DC: Blonk
	2:14pm fred: Th'Jaap!
	2:15pm geezerette: This sounds like the inside of Michael McMillen's "Garage" or Kienholz's "Barney's Beanery". RevRab, it's a nightmare. Fiction and satire are eclipsed.
	2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I used to get sounds like this tuning in 'static' on a multiband radio. If I knew electronics - I could say why...
	2:16pm steveo: i was 12 and musically naive so should i stay was just fine by me
	2:16pm fred: That settles it: Cage to Blonk segue means I have to clicky-star the whole show
	2:17pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred: <3
	2:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Should I Stay' is a pretty great & widely applicable song. Partly why it's flatout overplayed.
	2:21pm fred: There's a Cage quote at the entrance of the theater where I see many dance shows: "I am trying to be unfamiliar with what I'm doing"
	2:22pm geezerette: Cage really cut to the quick.
	2:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Friend of Yoko's I understand...
	2:24pm Kurt Gottschalk: fred, that's a great quote.
	2:25pm Michael 98145: Taking some of Cage's classes at the Cornish School must've been -quite- the experience.
	2:25pm northguineahills: Kurt is best when I have no fookin' bloody clue what goin on....
	2:25pm geezerette: It is. That's how art gets made, in any form.
	2:25pm northguineahills: I know an Anne Adachi, related (also an experimental musician).
	2:26pm Kurt Gottschalk: ngh, <3
	2:26pm Michael 98145: That quote would make an excellent WFMU billboard.
	2:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Play is the thing - by which we capture the Consciousness of the scene...
	2:29pm geezerette: I needed this show today. Thanks,Kurt. RevRab, nice!
	2:30pm Michael 98145: = The word asemic means "having no specific semantic content", or "without the smallest unit of meaning". =
	2:30pm geezerette: Kurt, Schwitters is smiling on you.
	2:30pm V Priceless: gotta boogie. Thanks KG!
	2:31pm Michael 98145: This sounds like twitter.
	2:32pm northguineahills: @Michael: either my inner-dialogues or existence (I really need to get out of existential stage, I'm far beyond a teenager). ;)
	2:32pm geezerette: Howdy, Michael! Hola, Coel! Alll you guys! :)
	2:34pm steveo: inspired segue
	2:34pm fred: That segue was jarring, in a good way
	2:39pm Michael 98145: hey, gz'ette. great show, eh wot?
	2:40pm geezerette: Michael, a timely keeper for sure!
	2:41pm fred: I just realized I haven't been to a single show in July. A month without shows. That hasn't happened in at least a decade. I'm officially old
	2:42pm Kat in Chicago: Have to go to lunch. Great show, Kurt!
	2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I always wanna joke track like that:...'not bad - one more take w/ feeling??'...but I didn't...
	2:47pm geezerette: Soul to drive the demons out. :)
	2:47pm Michael 98145: Spotify ain't ever gonna give you gifts like these.
	2:47pm geezerette: Frank!
	2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for TonyBennett's 92nd haha...
	2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: BaroquePop!
	2:49pm Michael 98145: ( rhyming Portland with courtin' :)
	2:49pm geezerette: that voice...undeniable beauty.
	2:51pm geezerette: Kurt, this show is some kind of masterpiece.
	2:52pm Kurt Gottschalk: thanks for the kind words, y'all. i'm having fun up in here.
	2:52pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry g, but i don't like Frank's voice much! i'd rather hear the kingston trio version ...i agree with you about Kurt's show being a masterpiece though!
	2:54pm P-90: Who’s on lead guitar here?
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MilesDavis said Frank influenced him as a Musician. In PrePostMod days I hated him as a honky square - would mimic him...& realized - because I really liked him & Crooners. Clear case of came to laugh stayed to pray. Not all his output was his best...
	2:55pm Kurt Gottschalk: p90, earl slick
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: Earl Slick
	2:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:56pm chris: thanks much, cap'n Kurt-tastic. super duper fun show.
	2:56pm P-90: Thought so, thanks much Kurt!
	2:56pm coelacanth∅: (the man in black, even on a 100 f degree day)
	2:56pm geezerette: Coel, I respect your contrariness. :) I say that with absolute sincerity, my friend.
	2:57pm Michael 98145: most excellent, thank you again, Kurt G. ★
	2:57pm coelacanth∅: ha Thanks g!
	2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1974 - an interesting transitional place for Boowie.
	2:57pm fred: Thanks Kurt
	2:59pm geezerette: Thanks Kurt.
	2:59pm Mick: This show was so good - thank you Kurt!
	2:59pm Michael 98145: ( spent a romantic afternoon in an Oakland pub years ago, with Frank's xmas collection playing ) (quite nice)
	2:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...course, Frank layed into Rawkers pretty hard...
	2:59pm steveo: just a wonderful wonderful show - thanks!
	3:00pm Devin B.: Amazing! Thanks Kurt!
	3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not exactly the warm Leo-ness of Tony Bennett...
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Kurt!
	3:00pm northguineahills: zanks, Kurt! hearts to you!
	3:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx KG !
