	3:02pm tim from champaign (now washington): Long time archive archive listener, first time live listener. Good to be here!
	3:03pm Laura in Peekskill: Also, I fucking love this song.
	3:03pm Ghetto Pastrami: Will Shatter RIP
	3:03pm tim from champaign (now washington): I have no words to describe how wonderful Flipper is.
	3:04pm ultradamno: Starting off on a positive note
	3:05pm Nate K.: Hey Olivia! Are you on the bord?
	3:05pm Nate K.: @Tim, I agree. This album is at the tippy-top.
	3:05pm Laura in Peekskill: It's profound, is what it is.
	3:05pm Nate K.: *board
	3:07pm ultradamno: Audio of them performing this from when I saw them in Cinti www.youtube.com...
	3:08pm tim from champaign (now washington): I read an interview with David Yow about being Flipper's current singer. He said he felt like a silverback gorilla the first time he sang with them. That sounds about right.
	3:09pm Ghetto Pastrami: Saw him in The Jesus Lizard in Chicago many years ago. He is one intense dude onstage.
	3:10pm mariano: Burn Down Wednesday! Howdy Nate, Crew, everyone.
	3:11pm Barney Grubbs: @pollypinocle: I have been trying to sort out the conflicting rhythms in that tune for awhile
	3:12pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Nate, Crew, folks! So great to hear you Nate! Yer making my Wednesday afternoon.
	3:12pm ultradamno: The second time I saw Scratch Acid he reached inside the back of his trousers and pulled out what I hope was chocolate cake batter and splattered it all over. The venue had a large window facing out onto College Ave and kids were watching outside, they started doing little dance moves, he started mimicking them and back and forth for awhile.
	3:14pm ultradamno: You can hear it somewhere on that Jockey Club tape, but at some point some kids call Bruce Lose Sting and he spends awhile muttering 'don't stand...don't stand...don't stand so close to me...what's my other big hit?' So drunk.
	3:17pm brainiac: There are not many who can perform as drunk as Yow. I have it on good authority that he is one stinky little leprechaun.
	3:17pm Ghetto Pastrami: @ultradamno sadly they broke up a few months before I moved to Austin
	3:19pm ultradamno: The first time I saw Scratch Acid I was mistaken for him a number of times that night, I just thought it was because we were wearing similar jackets, but when I first saw Jesus Lizard, I noticed a striking resemblance of him to my dad.
	3:21pm Aric: Has this show always been at this time?
	3:23pm brainiac: We have always been at war with Eastasia.
	3:23pm chris_in_space: I've been listening to Red Lights all week!
	3:24pm Laura in Peekskill: Is that JLP singing?! I guess he hadn't quite perfected his distinctive warble yet.
	3:24pm spodiodi: Aric, "Wed. Sep 23rd, 3pm - 6pm: Nate K fills in for Scott Williams "
	3:24pm tim from champaign (now washington): Cool! I've been wanting to hear Red Lights. It's kinda like a poppier Voidoids.
	3:25pm Laura in Peekskill: Good point, Tim.
	3:25pm Aric: Thank you, spo!
	3:25pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	3:25pm tim from champaign (now washington): @ultradmno - it's probably better that David Yow resembled your dad rather than your mom.
	3:25pm ultradamno: This is so great!
	3:26pm ultradamno: @Tim For everyone involved
	3:27pm Nate K.: @Tim and @Chris_in_space, I dig the Red Lights stuff. I think it shows his love of Blondie and early CBGBs stuff (Voidoids, as Tim pointed out). No mangled blues yet.
	3:28pm Carmichael: Cleaners! Martin Newell is a God!
	3:28pm Laura in Peekskill: For sure, Nate.
	3:31pm efd: WHAT IS HAPPENING?? THE MOON IS SO BRIGHT OUTSIDE!!
	3:31pm ultradamno: One needs dark for a good bonfire
	3:34pm northguineahills: I know Belgium isn’t supposed to exist, but the Belgian language literally doesn’t exist (they speak Flemish and Walloon). Keep kicking ass! It’s weird hearing ya w/ the sun out!
	3:35pm Acid Cazh: Flipper is genuine positivity
	3:35pm ultradamno: But their waffles do, which more than makes up for it.
	3:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): I agree. Flipper's bummer vibe is very life affirming.
	3:35pm Acid Cazh: I mean when they're positive, it's genuine positivity — not ironic
	3:36pm ultradamno: Well, Ha Ha Ha.
	3:37pm ultradamno: Not that they don't get genuinely gushy and wet...
	3:37pm johnzo: heyyelllll yeuuuhh! bonus burn! I thought I got switched over to on demand by accident... what a pleasant surprise!!
	3:37pm Nate K.: @Acid, I agree! But when they're bummed out, they're bummed out. I like the dissonance.
	3:38pm Acid Cazh: Yeah, all I mean is they're sincere — sincerely bummed out, or sincerely full of love
	3:38pm Nate K.: @Ultra, I can be a total dunce regarding who speaks what and where.
	3:38pm Acid Cazh: Probably mushrooms, if I had to guess
	3:38pm Lixiviated Life: I used to work in a combat kitchen
	3:39pm Nate K.: I'm loving the Flipper love today: both Flipper's love and our love of Flipper.
	3:40pm ultradamno: He was not a Teenage Head by then, but damn good.
	3:42pm Andrew_in_WI: Scott's off today? I'm sure he's using his extra time to make sure my swag is sent out
	3:42pm brainiac: I have genuine respect for the Belgian people's capacity for drinking alcohol.
	3:44pm Acid Cazh: So wait, is Burn It Down on Wednesday afternoons now?
	3:45pm Acid Cazh: I'm usually confused as it is... this Burn it Down with a guest host while the sun is out — my brain is scrambled. (In a good way)
	3:45pm Nate K.: @Acid, nope, just filling in.
	3:45pm northguineahills: Brainiac and I agree on yer another principle!
	3:48pm Acid Cazh: So @Nate you're going back to Tuesday nights after this week?
	3:49pm coelacanth∅: Hendrixy
	3:50pm coelacanth∅: ...and freeish
	3:50pm steveo: "it" is smoldering at the moment; good to be listening
	3:51pm Nate K.: @Acid, I'm not on the schedule this time around. But I am doing a different show on the Rock 'n' Soul Radio stream
	3:51pm coelacanth∅: 'shit is hot!
	3:53pm tim from champaign (now washington): There's a lot of Head in this set. Maybe Head will make an appearance!
	3:54pm ultradamno: Psychotic Pineapple's Headcheese, perhaps?
	3:54pm brainiac: Peter Ivers was one way out cat
	3:55pm ultradamno: His birthday was a few days ago. Singing In Heaven twitter.com...
	4:01pm otto: NICE!!!
	4:02pm spodiodi: Stevie Wright knows
	4:02pm tim from champaign (now washington): Stevie Wright is oh so right!
	4:03pm brainiac: Yeah, I'm gonna have to just clicky-star this whole show.
	4:04pm otto: YEAH NATE!
	4:04pm toots: My radio has a lot of static I thought that was Rod Stewart/ The Faces
	4:05pm Nate K.: . . . unless I'm referring to the bad skinheads.
	4:05pm BH: I believe the difference between good and bad skinheads involves what comes out of their mouths when they say stuff?
	4:06pm brainiac: @Nate: How can you type and talk at the same time? You are one talented individual!
	4:06pm spodiodi: "call me a skinhead, i'll call you a pinhead" -- House of Pain
	4:09pm spodiodi: yeah, Roxy Music
	4:09pm spodiodi: er... close enough :^)
	4:09pm Nate K.: @BH, always an easy way to tell.
	4:10pm Asheville Jon: great to hear you back on the air Nate!
	4:10pm Nate K.: @Spodiodi, Everlast got it.
	4:10pm tim from champaign (now washington): I've been listening to this live album recently. Giving 'Hard Rain' the Roxy treatment really makes it a new song.
	4:10pm Nate K.: @Jon, thanks, man!
	4:10pm spodiodi: he's Irish, but he's not a leprechaun, Nate!
	4:11pm northguineahills: When I was a kid in the 90s, there was the racist skinheads, that tried beat me and my friends up (I’m white but many of my friends were mixed raced).And then I met the ska skinheads that gave me a heads up on reggae. Dugs the latter lads. (This was N FL)
	4:11pm Rtintera: God we miss you
	4:12pm spodiodi: the leprechaun in American Gods made me like leprechauns a little more than i had before watching
	4:12pm Stanley: Yay - I was at that Ferry concert!!
	4:13pm spodiodi: wow, cool, Stanley!
	4:14pm karlward: Is this Pearl Jam?
	4:14pm karlward: (asking for a friend)
	4:15pm Nate K.: It is not Pearl Jam.
	4:15pm Stanley: Was in a box with a couple of friends just above the stage. T'was a great night. I even dressed up for the night - dinner jacket and feather boa!
	4:16pm Farley Tardi: lovin this cytonyati!
	4:17pm spodiodi: deluxe, Stanley. the boa sounds just right
	4:19pm Stanley: Thanks, Spodi. Also we smoked Sobranie Russian cigarettes and ordered drinks to our seats!
	4:20pm ultradamno: I posted The Bananamen doing Psychotic Reaction earlier today twitter.com...
	4:21pm Farley Tardi: ummm this is my first time on Burn it down and i am DIGGING. where have i been all your life!?!
	4:24pm spodiodi: Stanley, that sounds kingly
	4:30pm Carmichael: OK, back from my luncheon. Grand talk of Flipper and stinky leprechauns.
	4:30pm SeanG: Hey Nate, did ya ever go to Payne's BBQ when you were in Memphis??
	4:31pm Nate K.: @SeanG, oh, yeah. I love Payne's
	4:32pm Nate K.: . . . nuclear yellow coleslaw!
	4:33pm SeanG: oh yeah!!
	4:34pm steveo: i.redd.it...
	4:39pm karlward: ANCHOR
	4:39pm ultradamno: D.!
	4:39pm sim: It's like modern Clark-Hutchinson.
	4:40pm Nate K.: This one's for all the corndogs out there today.
	4:40pm Carmichael: Whoa, I just finished reading about the Minutemen in the book This Band Could Be Your Life (or something similar).
	4:40pm Barney Grubbs: aw man this is one of those minutemen songs that gives me happy chills
	4:41pm Carmichael: The next chapter is on Hüsker Dü.
	4:41pm ultradamno: All of Fires does that for me, a perfect record.
	4:42pm ultradamno: And one of my all-time favorite Raymond P pieces on the cover too.
	4:45pm Barney Grubbs: @ultradamno: I came to it through a used tape of My First Bells, so the boundaries between the early eps/albums are kind of fuzzy for me (and are a little warbly because it was a 120 minute tape that had lived a little), but yeah!! on both counts
	4:49pm brainiac: Wow, Carmichael, that sounds like a good read! en.wikipedia.org...
	4:51pm spodiodi: yes, sir!
	4:51pm ami ad: right on!
	4:53pm Carmichael: It was a Xmas gift, brainiac. Great choice, too!
	4:54pm Handy Haversack: Nate! Flameforms! We're down to one computer here, and Kate has had meetings all afternoon. But I have had scratchy north Brooklyn FM radio fanning the flames out here -- sounds great. So psyched to hear you Burning It Down again!
	4:56pm Nate K.: Handy, hey man! Thanks so much for dropping by.
	4:59pm markinbrooklyn: Great show today! Nice hearing you in this time slot...
	5:01pm northguineahills: Thanks for keeping me sane! Digging the zounds!
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for being here, Nate! ultradamno, ami ad, spod, Carm, Stanley, all, hello! Laptop shopping in the gaps in Kate's meeting schedule ...
	5:06pm ultradamno: Hiya Handy!
	5:08pm chris: hi, Nate K and everyone. working, but listening and enjoying! happy new rig shopping, Handy.
	5:09pm spodiodi: yo, Handy! sitting here with 10 (old) machines, wishing i could just walk over and hand you a spare... also have been resisting the urge to ask what's wrong / what your looking for, budget, etc
	5:09pm LesleyK: Nice to randomly tune in and find you DJing Nate! good show!
	5:10pm spodiodi: i guess, best thing to do is wish you well, like chris did!
	5:10pm Jeffrey Davison: Loving the show today, Nate!
	5:11pm Nate K.: Hey, Lesley!
	5:11pm Nate K.: Thanks, Jeffrey!
	5:11pm ami ad: @Handy Haversack:Hello there,welcome back to the big town. There is no good radio reception up where you are?
	5:15pm Handy Haversack: Hey, ami! Reception generally limited to the bathroom boombox, but I can aim that outside. Better on cloudy days, but I have leaned the clothes-hanger antenna against the heat pipe in the bathroom, and it seems to be getting the job done! spod, thanks, friend! I have been seeking some expert advice from locals and think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new (rebuilt) one but also would love to hear what you think. Will hit your e-mail link.
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: Hey, chris! Thanks!
	5:16pm mb: Can't kill Nate K!! Burn it DOWN
	5:19pm ami ad: @Handy:Now,that's dedication. I plugged one of them digital TV antennas to the stereo awhile ago,it works great. Burn it down.
	5:19pm John L: Loved the Simon Finn. Made me think of Peter Laughner a bit.
	5:20pm tim from champaign (now washington): The last David Nance album sounded like they snuck into Crazy Horses barn, smoked their stash and recorded an album. This song sounds like they smoothed on down the road to CSNY's Deja Vu era barn and did the same.
	5:21pm Carmichael: Pretty countrified (thanks Byrds) from the Carole King original.
	5:22pm dale: herro dere. damn - what didn't goffin/king write?
	5:23pm dale: tim from champpaign - they should stop by bradley's barn too.
	5:24pm Hams: good to hear ya, nate.
	5:24pm tim from champaign (now washington): Dale - I don't know Bradley but I trust your judgment!
	5:25pm spodiodi: Handy, ami, i hook the single wire "antenna" to various items around chez spodi... the current configuration for the local Jazz station favors using the heater on the wall :-B
	5:25pm dale: beau brummels 'bradley's barn' is a folk gem tim.
	5:26pm spodiodi: we live on the radio-and-tv-signal-shady side of a hill
	5:26pm tim from champaign (now washington): Oh ho! Good to know, Dale.
	5:27pm Handy Haversack: ami, spod, I have a speaker wire running into the govt.-assisted-purchased digital TV receiver as an antenna. Run to a clothes hanger hanging from the bed post. Works like a charm! And lets me refer to my "government box" whenever broadcast TV is needed.
	5:27pm dale: www.youtube.com...
	5:27pm ultradamno: Optic Sink live at Goner www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm spodiodi: the gubmint makes it all possible <3
	5:28pm jeffg: There's an ancient LCD article about improving reception, I can't remember where exactly it was but it still holds up. Basically stretch out the antenna as much as you can and try not plugging in one of the antenna leads (if you're using one of those old-school balanced wire dipoles like I am.) Also, mono's way better for cruddy reception.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Thought this was the Flying Lizards for a minute.
	5:30pm dale: i have a zenith dtv tuner hooked to a 12 inch set in my garage. i get to watch the rifleman out there. sadly it won't work when atsc3 comes around. but stations aren't jumping on the wagon.
	5:30pm brainiac: @jeffg: This one? www.jhhl.net...
	5:30pm Handy Haversack: If I were on my currently dead laptop and had those Firefox bookmarks, I'd share Webhamster Henry's article on maximizing FMU reception.
	5:30pm jeffg: @brainiac yes exactly!
	5:32pm spodiodi: "i hope you had a backup!" --- every person who wants a smack, when one's computer bites the wax tadpole
	5:32pm brainiac: I like the idea of using moist plant material.
	5:33pm ami ad: @spodiodi@Handy:Psshh,nice. need to figure a setup for the bedroom radio,lost the reception there.
	5:33pm ultradamno: Juliette Gréco has died pitchfork.com...
	5:35pm spodiodi: 93 is not bad seems to be the high end of the longer-living branch of mi familia
	5:36pm jeffg: It makes sense. I've pulled in distant TV channels through the magic of steel wool in the past. Oh, adding ferrite beads onto random wires helps out too.
	5:37pm Ike: As I mentioned in other comments recently, the potato thing in that article actually works. I did it with a dipole antenna in a sliced-open spud back in the 90s and it helped. "Try exposing the leads on your antenna and sticking them into a potato, onion, watermelon, or houseplant." (Watermelon? Heavy, man, heavy.)
	5:38pm spodiodi: steel wool! that has to be good. never thought of it... but i have mare a crappy "hd" antenna from an old pie tin (not my idea)
	5:39pm spodiodi: nice, Ike. i'm going to try a yam next time i have the need
	5:39pm spodiodi: out of potatoes (some leprechaun)
	5:40pm ian: great band name, good track
	5:46pm ami ad: the cheap transistor radio i got,receivs wfmu in fort greene,the bathroom occasionally but not in williamsburg.
	5:46pm Carmichael: Heard the synth and thought it might be Flash and the Pan's Media Man. Not disappointed, though ...
	5:46pm courtneynoir: what a delightful end to an un-delightful work day!
	5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Nate. How's the inferno going?
	5:47pm Nate K.: @Courtney, glad I could help a little.
	5:50pm dale: ami ad - is it one of those shower radios?
	5:51pm Nate K.: Thanks, everybody. Had a blast. Catch you next time.
	5:52pm pollypinocle: Thanks for a great show, Nate! So nice to hear you!
	5:52pm Flint_Jack: great show Nat, thanks!
	5:52pm Handy Haversack: So glad to have lit it up and Burned It the hell Down with you, Nate! What a fantastic surprise. Hope to hear you again soon!
	5:52pm ami ad: @dale:Nah,a cheap handheld radio,it rests on top of the toilet. And occasionally I'll take it on a walk.
	5:52pm spodiodi: Thanks, Nate! great to hear you! thanks for the fill-in! best of health to you and all
	5:52pm radioronan: Great to hear you in the afternoon Nate..Thanks skeleton crew!
	5:53pm Carmichael: Thanks, Nate. Definitely on fire today.
	5:53pm mariano: Thank you Nate, just the guest appearance my life needed! Thanks Crew, bye all.
	5:53pm chris: thanks, Nate. great stuff. burnt that mofo.
	5:54pm Andres: Thanks, Nate! Great one start to finish!
	5:54pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Keep it freeform.
	5:54pm brainiac: Terrific show, Nate. Thanks!
	5:54pm listener 126464: Hi Nate, thanks!
	5:55pm mariano: Yay Ken!
	5:55pm ultradamno: Thanks Nate, Ken, Skeletons!
	5:55pm Stanley: Great stuff, Nate. Good to see you again. Take care all. Later.
	5:55pm TomDash: d'oh! I was stuck at work until now! Damn, missed it! Will listen to the archive tout suite. The playlist looks grand of course...see ya on the RnS Stream
	5:56pm Listener Robert: So, last time around for Nietsche for a while, huh?
	6:00pm tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks Nate!

View Nate K.'s profile

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

Upcoming events:

Fri. Dec 6th, 9pm - Midnight: Feeling Figures (More info...)
Montreal's Feeling Figures are led by the songwriting duo of Zakary Slax and Kay Moon. The band's second LP, Everything Around You, was recently co-released by K and Perennial, and while it harkens to the sounds of indie rock's golden age, the album and the band aren't that simple to pin down, as Slax and Moon's distinctive songcraft rise above any easy genre signifier. The band dropped by WFMU on their recent East Coast swing, and with a couple of extra Retail Simps in tow (Zak also does time in that band), a good time was had. Tune in Friday, December 6 to check it out.

	3:01pm Krys O.: Greetings!
	3:01pm olivia: hey, nate!
	3:01pm Stevel: Burn, Nate K, Burn!
	3:01pm pollypinocle: Any drummers here wanna explain to me why the beat in that theme seems off?
	3:01pm spodiodi (filthy 3 of 5): woohoo! Nate K! nice to hear ya!
	3:02pm Laura in Peekskill: I agree that we should Burn It Down.
	3:02pm Ghetto Pastrami: Flipper!!!
	3:02pm Stevel: Thank God for Flipper. I needed cheering up.
	3:02pm tim from champaign (now washington): Long time archive archive listener, first time live listener. Good to be here!
	3:03pm Laura in Peekskill: Also, I fucking love this song.
	3:03pm Ghetto Pastrami: Will Shatter RIP
	3:03pm tim from champaign (now washington): I have no words to describe how wonderful Flipper is.
	3:04pm ultradamno: Starting off on a positive note
	3:05pm Nate K.: Hey Olivia! Are you on the bord?
	3:05pm Nate K.: @Tim, I agree. This album is at the tippy-top.
	3:05pm Laura in Peekskill: It's profound, is what it is.
	3:05pm Nate K.: *board
	3:07pm ultradamno: Audio of them performing this from when I saw them in Cinti www.youtube.com...
	3:08pm tim from champaign (now washington): I read an interview with David Yow about being Flipper's current singer. He said he felt like a silverback gorilla the first time he sang with them. That sounds about right.
	3:09pm Ghetto Pastrami: Saw him in The Jesus Lizard in Chicago many years ago. He is one intense dude onstage.
	3:10pm mariano: Burn Down Wednesday! Howdy Nate, Crew, everyone.
	3:11pm Barney Grubbs: @pollypinocle: I have been trying to sort out the conflicting rhythms in that tune for awhile
	3:12pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Nate, Crew, folks! So great to hear you Nate! Yer making my Wednesday afternoon.
	3:12pm ultradamno: The second time I saw Scratch Acid he reached inside the back of his trousers and pulled out what I hope was chocolate cake batter and splattered it all over. The venue had a large window facing out onto College Ave and kids were watching outside, they started doing little dance moves, he started mimicking them and back and forth for awhile.
	3:14pm ultradamno: You can hear it somewhere on that Jockey Club tape, but at some point some kids call Bruce Lose Sting and he spends awhile muttering 'don't stand...don't stand...don't stand so close to me...what's my other big hit?' So drunk.
	3:17pm brainiac: There are not many who can perform as drunk as Yow. I have it on good authority that he is one stinky little leprechaun.
	3:17pm Ghetto Pastrami: @ultradamno sadly they broke up a few months before I moved to Austin
	3:19pm ultradamno: The first time I saw Scratch Acid I was mistaken for him a number of times that night, I just thought it was because we were wearing similar jackets, but when I first saw Jesus Lizard, I noticed a striking resemblance of him to my dad.
	3:21pm Aric: Has this show always been at this time?
	3:23pm brainiac: We have always been at war with Eastasia.
	3:23pm chris_in_space: I've been listening to Red Lights all week!
	3:24pm Laura in Peekskill: Is that JLP singing?! I guess he hadn't quite perfected his distinctive warble yet.
	3:24pm spodiodi: Aric, "Wed. Sep 23rd, 3pm - 6pm: Nate K fills in for Scott Williams "
	3:24pm tim from champaign (now washington): Cool! I've been wanting to hear Red Lights. It's kinda like a poppier Voidoids.
	3:25pm Laura in Peekskill: Good point, Tim.
	3:25pm Aric: Thank you, spo!
	3:25pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	3:25pm tim from champaign (now washington): @ultradmno - it's probably better that David Yow resembled your dad rather than your mom.
	3:25pm ultradamno: This is so great!
	3:26pm ultradamno: @Tim For everyone involved
	3:27pm Nate K.: @Tim and @Chris_in_space, I dig the Red Lights stuff. I think it shows his love of Blondie and early CBGBs stuff (Voidoids, as Tim pointed out). No mangled blues yet.
	3:28pm Carmichael: Cleaners! Martin Newell is a God!
	3:28pm Laura in Peekskill: For sure, Nate.
	3:31pm efd: WHAT IS HAPPENING?? THE MOON IS SO BRIGHT OUTSIDE!!
	3:31pm ultradamno: One needs dark for a good bonfire
	3:34pm northguineahills: I know Belgium isn’t supposed to exist, but the Belgian language literally doesn’t exist (they speak Flemish and Walloon). Keep kicking ass! It’s weird hearing ya w/ the sun out!
	3:35pm Acid Cazh: Flipper is genuine positivity
	3:35pm ultradamno: But their waffles do, which more than makes up for it.
	3:35pm tim from champaign (now washington): I agree. Flipper's bummer vibe is very life affirming.
	3:35pm Acid Cazh: I mean when they're positive, it's genuine positivity — not ironic
	3:36pm ultradamno: Well, Ha Ha Ha.
	3:37pm ultradamno: Not that they don't get genuinely gushy and wet...
	3:37pm johnzo: heyyelllll yeuuuhh! bonus burn! I thought I got switched over to on demand by accident... what a pleasant surprise!!
	3:37pm Nate K.: @Acid, I agree! But when they're bummed out, they're bummed out. I like the dissonance.
	3:38pm Acid Cazh: Yeah, all I mean is they're sincere — sincerely bummed out, or sincerely full of love
	3:38pm Nate K.: @Ultra, I can be a total dunce regarding who speaks what and where.
	3:38pm Acid Cazh: Probably mushrooms, if I had to guess
	3:38pm Lixiviated Life: I used to work in a combat kitchen
	3:39pm Nate K.: I'm loving the Flipper love today: both Flipper's love and our love of Flipper.
	3:40pm ultradamno: He was not a Teenage Head by then, but damn good.
	3:42pm Andrew_in_WI: Scott's off today? I'm sure he's using his extra time to make sure my swag is sent out
	3:42pm brainiac: I have genuine respect for the Belgian people's capacity for drinking alcohol.
	3:44pm Acid Cazh: So wait, is Burn It Down on Wednesday afternoons now?
	3:45pm Acid Cazh: I'm usually confused as it is... this Burn it Down with a guest host while the sun is out — my brain is scrambled. (In a good way)
	3:45pm Nate K.: @Acid, nope, just filling in.
	3:45pm northguineahills: Brainiac and I agree on yer another principle!
	3:48pm Acid Cazh: So @Nate you're going back to Tuesday nights after this week?
	3:49pm coelacanth∅: Hendrixy
	3:50pm coelacanth∅: ...and freeish
	3:50pm steveo: "it" is smoldering at the moment; good to be listening
	3:51pm Nate K.: @Acid, I'm not on the schedule this time around. But I am doing a different show on the Rock 'n' Soul Radio stream
	3:51pm coelacanth∅: 'shit is hot!
	3:53pm tim from champaign (now washington): There's a lot of Head in this set. Maybe Head will make an appearance!
	3:54pm ultradamno: Psychotic Pineapple's Headcheese, perhaps?
	3:54pm brainiac: Peter Ivers was one way out cat
	3:55pm ultradamno: His birthday was a few days ago. Singing In Heaven twitter.com...
	4:01pm otto: NICE!!!
	4:02pm spodiodi: Stevie Wright knows
	4:02pm tim from champaign (now washington): Stevie Wright is oh so right!
	4:03pm brainiac: Yeah, I'm gonna have to just clicky-star this whole show.
	4:04pm otto: YEAH NATE!
	4:04pm toots: My radio has a lot of static I thought that was Rod Stewart/ The Faces
	4:05pm Nate K.: . . . unless I'm referring to the bad skinheads.
	4:05pm BH: I believe the difference between good and bad skinheads involves what comes out of their mouths when they say stuff?
	4:06pm brainiac: @Nate: How can you type and talk at the same time? You are one talented individual!
	4:06pm spodiodi: "call me a skinhead, i'll call you a pinhead" -- House of Pain
	4:09pm spodiodi: yeah, Roxy Music
	4:09pm spodiodi: er... close enough :^)
	4:09pm Nate K.: @BH, always an easy way to tell.
	4:10pm Asheville Jon: great to hear you back on the air Nate!
	4:10pm Nate K.: @Spodiodi, Everlast got it.
	4:10pm tim from champaign (now washington): I've been listening to this live album recently. Giving 'Hard Rain' the Roxy treatment really makes it a new song.
	4:10pm Nate K.: @Jon, thanks, man!
	4:10pm spodiodi: he's Irish, but he's not a leprechaun, Nate!
	4:11pm northguineahills: When I was a kid in the 90s, there was the racist skinheads, that tried beat me and my friends up (I’m white but many of my friends were mixed raced).And then I met the ska skinheads that gave me a heads up on reggae. Dugs the latter lads. (This was N FL)
	4:11pm Rtintera: God we miss you
	4:12pm spodiodi: the leprechaun in American Gods made me like leprechauns a little more than i had before watching
	4:12pm Stanley: Yay - I was at that Ferry concert!!
	4:13pm spodiodi: wow, cool, Stanley!
	4:14pm karlward: Is this Pearl Jam?
	4:14pm karlward: (asking for a friend)
	4:15pm Nate K.: It is not Pearl Jam.
	4:15pm Stanley: Was in a box with a couple of friends just above the stage. T'was a great night. I even dressed up for the night - dinner jacket and feather boa!
	4:16pm Farley Tardi: lovin this cytonyati!
	4:17pm spodiodi: deluxe, Stanley. the boa sounds just right
	4:19pm Stanley: Thanks, Spodi. Also we smoked Sobranie Russian cigarettes and ordered drinks to our seats!
	4:20pm ultradamno: I posted The Bananamen doing Psychotic Reaction earlier today twitter.com...
	4:21pm Farley Tardi: ummm this is my first time on Burn it down and i am DIGGING. where have i been all your life!?!
	4:24pm spodiodi: Stanley, that sounds kingly
	4:30pm Carmichael: OK, back from my luncheon. Grand talk of Flipper and stinky leprechauns.
	4:30pm SeanG: Hey Nate, did ya ever go to Payne's BBQ when you were in Memphis??
	4:31pm Nate K.: @SeanG, oh, yeah. I love Payne's
	4:32pm Nate K.: . . . nuclear yellow coleslaw!
	4:33pm SeanG: oh yeah!!
	4:34pm steveo: i.redd.it...
	4:39pm karlward: ANCHOR
	4:39pm ultradamno: D.!
	4:39pm sim: It's like modern Clark-Hutchinson.
	4:40pm Nate K.: This one's for all the corndogs out there today.
	4:40pm Carmichael: Whoa, I just finished reading about the Minutemen in the book This Band Could Be Your Life (or something similar).
	4:40pm Barney Grubbs: aw man this is one of those minutemen songs that gives me happy chills
	4:41pm Carmichael: The next chapter is on Hüsker Dü.
	4:41pm ultradamno: All of Fires does that for me, a perfect record.
	4:42pm ultradamno: And one of my all-time favorite Raymond P pieces on the cover too.
	4:45pm Barney Grubbs: @ultradamno: I came to it through a used tape of My First Bells, so the boundaries between the early eps/albums are kind of fuzzy for me (and are a little warbly because it was a 120 minute tape that had lived a little), but yeah!! on both counts
	4:49pm brainiac: Wow, Carmichael, that sounds like a good read! en.wikipedia.org...
	4:51pm spodiodi: yes, sir!
	4:51pm ami ad: right on!
	4:53pm Carmichael: It was a Xmas gift, brainiac. Great choice, too!
	4:54pm Handy Haversack: Nate! Flameforms! We're down to one computer here, and Kate has had meetings all afternoon. But I have had scratchy north Brooklyn FM radio fanning the flames out here -- sounds great. So psyched to hear you Burning It Down again!
	4:56pm Nate K.: Handy, hey man! Thanks so much for dropping by.
	4:59pm markinbrooklyn: Great show today! Nice hearing you in this time slot...
	5:01pm northguineahills: Thanks for keeping me sane! Digging the zounds!
	5:06pm Handy Haversack: Thanks for being here, Nate! ultradamno, ami ad, spod, Carm, Stanley, all, hello! Laptop shopping in the gaps in Kate's meeting schedule ...
	5:06pm ultradamno: Hiya Handy!
	5:08pm chris: hi, Nate K and everyone. working, but listening and enjoying! happy new rig shopping, Handy.
	5:09pm spodiodi: yo, Handy! sitting here with 10 (old) machines, wishing i could just walk over and hand you a spare... also have been resisting the urge to ask what's wrong / what your looking for, budget, etc
	5:09pm LesleyK: Nice to randomly tune in and find you DJing Nate! good show!
	5:10pm spodiodi: i guess, best thing to do is wish you well, like chris did!
	5:10pm Jeffrey Davison: Loving the show today, Nate!
	5:11pm Nate K.: Hey, Lesley!
	5:11pm Nate K.: Thanks, Jeffrey!
	5:11pm ami ad: @Handy Haversack:Hello there,welcome back to the big town. There is no good radio reception up where you are?
	5:15pm Handy Haversack: Hey, ami! Reception generally limited to the bathroom boombox, but I can aim that outside. Better on cloudy days, but I have leaned the clothes-hanger antenna against the heat pipe in the bathroom, and it seems to be getting the job done! spod, thanks, friend! I have been seeking some expert advice from locals and think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new (rebuilt) one but also would love to hear what you think. Will hit your e-mail link.
	5:16pm Handy Haversack: Hey, chris! Thanks!
	5:16pm mb: Can't kill Nate K!! Burn it DOWN
	5:19pm ami ad: @Handy:Now,that's dedication. I plugged one of them digital TV antennas to the stereo awhile ago,it works great. Burn it down.
	5:19pm John L: Loved the Simon Finn. Made me think of Peter Laughner a bit.
	5:20pm tim from champaign (now washington): The last David Nance album sounded like they snuck into Crazy Horses barn, smoked their stash and recorded an album. This song sounds like they smoothed on down the road to CSNY's Deja Vu era barn and did the same.
	5:21pm Carmichael: Pretty countrified (thanks Byrds) from the Carole King original.
	5:22pm dale: herro dere. damn - what didn't goffin/king write?
	5:23pm dale: tim from champpaign - they should stop by bradley's barn too.
	5:24pm Hams: good to hear ya, nate.
	5:24pm tim from champaign (now washington): Dale - I don't know Bradley but I trust your judgment!
	5:25pm spodiodi: Handy, ami, i hook the single wire "antenna" to various items around chez spodi... the current configuration for the local Jazz station favors using the heater on the wall :-B
	5:25pm dale: beau brummels 'bradley's barn' is a folk gem tim.
	5:26pm spodiodi: we live on the radio-and-tv-signal-shady side of a hill
	5:26pm tim from champaign (now washington): Oh ho! Good to know, Dale.
	5:27pm Handy Haversack: ami, spod, I have a speaker wire running into the govt.-assisted-purchased digital TV receiver as an antenna. Run to a clothes hanger hanging from the bed post. Works like a charm! And lets me refer to my "government box" whenever broadcast TV is needed.
	5:27pm dale: www.youtube.com...
	5:27pm ultradamno: Optic Sink live at Goner www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm spodiodi: the gubmint makes it all possible <3
	5:28pm jeffg: There's an ancient LCD article about improving reception, I can't remember where exactly it was but it still holds up. Basically stretch out the antenna as much as you can and try not plugging in one of the antenna leads (if you're using one of those old-school balanced wire dipoles like I am.) Also, mono's way better for cruddy reception.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Thought this was the Flying Lizards for a minute.
	5:30pm dale: i have a zenith dtv tuner hooked to a 12 inch set in my garage. i get to watch the rifleman out there. sadly it won't work when atsc3 comes around. but stations aren't jumping on the wagon.
	5:30pm brainiac: @jeffg: This one? www.jhhl.net...
	5:30pm Handy Haversack: If I were on my currently dead laptop and had those Firefox bookmarks, I'd share Webhamster Henry's article on maximizing FMU reception.
	5:30pm jeffg: @brainiac yes exactly!
	5:32pm spodiodi: "i hope you had a backup!" --- every person who wants a smack, when one's computer bites the wax tadpole
	5:32pm brainiac: I like the idea of using moist plant material.
	5:33pm ami ad: @spodiodi@Handy:Psshh,nice. need to figure a setup for the bedroom radio,lost the reception there.
	5:33pm ultradamno: Juliette Gréco has died pitchfork.com...
	5:35pm spodiodi: 93 is not bad seems to be the high end of the longer-living branch of mi familia
	5:36pm jeffg: It makes sense. I've pulled in distant TV channels through the magic of steel wool in the past. Oh, adding ferrite beads onto random wires helps out too.
	5:37pm Ike: As I mentioned in other comments recently, the potato thing in that article actually works. I did it with a dipole antenna in a sliced-open spud back in the 90s and it helped. "Try exposing the leads on your antenna and sticking them into a potato, onion, watermelon, or houseplant." (Watermelon? Heavy, man, heavy.)
	5:38pm spodiodi: steel wool! that has to be good. never thought of it... but i have mare a crappy "hd" antenna from an old pie tin (not my idea)
	5:39pm spodiodi: nice, Ike. i'm going to try a yam next time i have the need
	5:39pm spodiodi: out of potatoes (some leprechaun)
	5:40pm ian: great band name, good track
	5:46pm ami ad: the cheap transistor radio i got,receivs wfmu in fort greene,the bathroom occasionally but not in williamsburg.
	5:46pm Carmichael: Heard the synth and thought it might be Flash and the Pan's Media Man. Not disappointed, though ...
	5:46pm courtneynoir: what a delightful end to an un-delightful work day!
	5:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Nate. How's the inferno going?
	5:47pm Nate K.: @Courtney, glad I could help a little.
	5:50pm dale: ami ad - is it one of those shower radios?
	5:51pm Nate K.: Thanks, everybody. Had a blast. Catch you next time.
	5:52pm pollypinocle: Thanks for a great show, Nate! So nice to hear you!
	5:52pm Flint_Jack: great show Nat, thanks!
	5:52pm Handy Haversack: So glad to have lit it up and Burned It the hell Down with you, Nate! What a fantastic surprise. Hope to hear you again soon!
	5:52pm ami ad: @dale:Nah,a cheap handheld radio,it rests on top of the toilet. And occasionally I'll take it on a walk.
	5:52pm spodiodi: Thanks, Nate! great to hear you! thanks for the fill-in! best of health to you and all
	5:52pm radioronan: Great to hear you in the afternoon Nate..Thanks skeleton crew!
	5:53pm Carmichael: Thanks, Nate. Definitely on fire today.

	5:56pm Listener Robert: So, last time around for Nietsche for a while, huh?
