	9:08am woj: 3 hours of non-stop dirty, who's with me?
	👻 9:08am Handy Haversack: David, Marley, ami, Heidee, Ken, deborah! What a host of angles assembling on the dawn(ish) heights!
	9:08am Cp304: thats a pella i would have never thought to drop with this.. nice
	9:09am Heidee: Ooo Handy, very poetic. - Howaya these days?
	9:10am Doug in JC: @Handy ohhh it's Friday. long week of bad sleep and 12 hour work days
	9:10am Peter from Dover NJ: Hello David in London, Marley. Grooving while I get ready to arrange live-in care for my folks.
	👻 9:10am YETI BOB: @Handy: Acute? Obtuse?
	9:11am Heidee: I love learning new vocabulary on WFMU chats.
	9:11am ami ad: Heya,YETI BOB,Marley P. Dogg, adampsyche,Ken From Hyde Park,all others out there.
	9:11am David (in London): Yo Peter! Good luck with that pal, hope it goes OK.
	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: @cp304: what's a pella?
	9:12am Jake Man: how can i find that 'dirty' song?
	👻 9:12am Handy Haversack: We're scalene the walls, YB! Oof, Doug, I hear you, man. What times to be alive. Looking out at the gray and thinking of months of doing the same thing ...
	9:12am John Allen: exclusive to this program jake
	👻 9:13am PortsmouthJay: Jake, that's his opener every week! Right, JA?
	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: some weeks when we're extra-lucky we hear "Wake Up Little Suzie" by Neil Rolnick, which drives some of us crazy. "Dirty" is much better opener.
	👻 9:15am PortsmouthJay: Agree, YETI!
	9:15am Doug in JC: @yeti bob I admit, I set an alarm for when to turn the radio back on
	9:15am David (in London): Yeah, my Aggrometer hasn't registered a single NRu for weeks now.
	9:15am Cp304: @yeti bob Acapella version
	9:15am Santos L Halper: Thanks for the Lewin, only heard that one album, Diamond something...
	9:15am Brad in Nanny Gorge: Wow! Never heard that PJL song!
	9:15am John Allen: hey someone just made a pledge to this program, thanks!
	9:15am Peter from Dover NJ: Scalene the walls, LOL!
	9:16am Cp304: anyone having issues posting via FF mobile?
	9:16am luka: this Rolnick slander is outrageous.
	9:16am John Allen: back us up, luka!
	9:17am luka: did i want to tear my ears off my head the first few times i heard it? yes. but let it wash over you. be reborn.
	9:17am ami ad: Yea,I was worried for a while when little suzy was off the air.
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: I truly appreciate Neil Rolnick's artistry but I never want to hear that track again! :)
	9:19am John Allen: yeti, did you get the 12"?
	9:23am Mike W: I am happy to be here as anywhere but here seems nice
	9:26am John Allen: Mike W happy yr here
	👻 9:26am Handy Haversack: One has to get 9:42 with the Rolnick. It puts some Tuesday into Friday, but isn't that JAZZ?
	👻 9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: JA plays LZ!
	9:26am Colleen: Soooo happy to hear this right now....
	9:26am John Allen: handy, that gets you co-host status. get us some $$
	9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Is this from an extended version of Houses of the Holy?
	👻 9:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Correction: JA plays LZ - RP!
	👻 9:27am Handy Haversack: Nice -- now if you could remove LZ vocals and lyrics from my memory entirely, we'd really be cooking with gas!
	9:27am luka: no quarter, no vocals, no service.
	9:27am winston legthigh: this guitar sounds a little different than the house of holy album.
	9:27am luka: or no problem. depending on your perspective.
	9:28am PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings ya’ll! ....No Quarter
	👻 9:29am YETI BOB: LZ - RP = Actually a good band
	9:29am Cp304: im trying to think of the beach boys song ToTom mixed with this..
	9:29am Rich in Bristol: I saw a sign in a shop window last week that said: "No shirt, no trousers, no shoes, no mask – No Service."
	👻 9:30am PKNY: I'm missing JPJ's piano lines on this version of "No Quarter"
	9:32am Mark Hurst: I like this version a lot better.
	👻 9:32am Handy Haversack: Please pledge to keep LZ RP-free forever: pledge.wfmu.org...
	👻 9:33am Handy Haversack: (How'm I doing, JA?) Hey, Mark! dkg came over and hung out in the yard last night. We are all excited for Monday!
	9:34am John Allen: nice Handy, we're just getting started
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So much classic rock snobbery here. I listened to Styx the other day and I LIKED IT!! NYAH!! ;-)
	👻 9:35am karlward: I swear, if I miss another Plant-less Led Zeppelin song, I will go on with my life as if that never happened
	👻 9:35am Handy Haversack: Sure, I would always pick up Styx!
	9:36am Heidee: This is nice. I can hear the falling leaves.
	9:37am David (in London): Woods, I'm with you. Rock on brother!
	👻 9:39am YETI BOB: @Woods: I like plenty of classic rock, I just have never appreciated Plant's vocal stylings. They could have been such a good band with a different singer.
	9:40am melinda: @Woods hahaha
	👻 9:41am Handy Haversack: Not that I'm a big Tolkien fan, but Plant understood LoTR even less than Peter Jackson did. Did the tintinnabulation of the bells eat JA?
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: The interesting thing is that for the most part I like what Plant has done solo much more, especially in recent years.
	9:42am Ike: You're back now!
	👻 9:42am karlward: This is happening
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: Whew. Thought I was going to have to get in the game there for a minute! Now where's my clipboard?
	9:43am ami ad: JA and the Dropouts. Lower Bed-Stuy? I was told many years ago I live in Prime Bed-Stuy.
	9:44am madison: I was in laaraji’s apartment the other night and he has no comfy chair
	9:45am Gary: good
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Yeah, you can't help what resonates or doesn't. I have friends who are enormous fans of early Genesis and I just never could appreciate Gabriel's vocals. Still don't.
	9:46am Cp304: off to first job (intermittent internet). have a great day all, will be listening
	👻 9:47am YETI BOB: Gareth Williams "Flaming Tunes" was issued on vinyl in 2012, I remember seeing it in the shops and foolishly not picking it up, it now goes for around $100. Excited for the re-re-release.
	9:48am Mark Hurst: @Handy nice to hear! dkg was great. Looking forward to sharing the interview.
	9:48am John Allen: yeah blackest ever did a pressing that sold out fast
	9:49am rsj: how is this so good?
	9:50am David (in London): Charles Bullen's Lifetones side project was well worth forking out for, too, I reckon.
	👻 9:50am wolfingham: incredible selection here
	9:52am Malcolm: anyone catch the nico film? i enjoyed it a lot
	👻 9:53am Handy Haversack: Nico's birthday, no?
	9:53am David (in London): Hey Malcolm.
	9:56am Malcolm: hey david!
	9:56am Malcolm: how do?
	9:57am John Allen: yes happy birthday nico
	9:57am David (in London): I think this track was on the classic Beggars Banquet '£1.99' compilation of 1985. That was such a great album. Malcolm - Time for a Hat Museum practise soon I reckon.
	👻 9:58am YETI BOB: I recognize this tune, isnt't his called "The Orchids"? (Califone did a cover of it)
	9:59am melinda: @Yeti this sounds like a different version of Orchids
	👻 9:59am YETI BOB: different recording, same song
	9:59am melinda: right
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: A very Happy STINKIN BIRTHDAY to NICO!
	10:00am melinda: But Psychic TV did another that I'm more familiar with
	10:00am Malcolm: @david Oh for sure. I'm writing a song about a trilby as we speak
	10:01am Malcolm: @melinda the well-known version is on the dreams less sweet album
	👻 10:02am YETI BOB: califone version is great too
	10:03am Mike W: I’ll never forget spending hundreds of dollars of Kinko’s money in 1990 helping a Mpls label get a two-sided cardstock insert looking right for a Dog Faced Hermans 7 they were doing #nocharge
	10:05am melinda: @Malcolm yeah, that's what I have on cassette.
	10:06am Malcolm: @melinda nice thing to have! I want a physical copy but discog prices are crazy :'(
	10:06am alanr: Wow. how weird in a good way. I was thinking about Amy Denio earlier this week and I do not recall why. I met her in the early 90s in Cleveland when she was performing with the Billy Tipton Saxophone Quartet. Excited to hear her again a zillion years later!
	10:08am David (in London): I haven't heard the Dog Faced Hermans in an age. That was really great. I can hardly believe it's almost 30 years old.
	10:08am melinda: @Malcolm I taped it from my sister's album ages ago and it's in a packing box somewhere so I'm not sure how well it's held up. Hopefully sis has the original, I should ask her.
	10:12am John Allen: alan r, yr in the right place but the wrong time
	10:16am luka: skylines = JAZZ. that's just the way it is.
	10:19am Ike: Wait, so if he doesn't reach his goal, JA is only going to play the early 70s thing, noise with a beat, the sounds of pinches, dub, and the whole folk thing from now on?
	10:20am John Allen: no going back Ike. who knows, sometimes it's just time to move on and start a jazz trio
	👻 10:35am Handy Haversack: Rain means Bagpipe assumes the "should anyone need me, I'll be under the DU-vet" position. Got any wake-the-dog JAZZ up in there, JA?
	10:38am John Allen: you're right handy, it's awfully quiet in the pledge room. please make the pitch
	10:39am βrian: Düvet seems like a likely band name. Metal, naturally.
	10:41am David (in London): βrian - I see Düvet as being at that nexus of heavy Scandinavian rock and psych, a bit like Circle.
	👻 10:43am Handy Haversack: Sauna Metal. People, JA brings many other letters and pretty much all of the notes to us. You can tell your friends you're into black-pumpkin JAZZ and make them jealous. At the $5,000 level, JA will even get in your barn! But all pledges accepted. pledge.wfmu.org...
	10:44am Mike W: notes, stanzas, lacunae
	👻 10:47am karlward: We are all moving the car
	10:47am coelacanth∅: you should start it over
	👻 10:48am Threemoons: Loving this set in rainy Astoria...mellow Friday vibes...
	👻 10:48am adampsyche: that is the most on brand wfmu brb from a dj i've ever heard
	10:48am coelacanth∅: good morning John and all
	10:48am βrian: A fearful curse: "May you think about parking!"
	10:48am luka: thinking about moving the car in solidarity.
	10:49am prudy: Pharoah is such a mystical player to me....
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: @luka: I was thinking that the logo for the Chicago Jazz Festival (sob) had a skyline motif ... it doesn't, but it does have a really nice jazzy script font - check it out jazzinchicago.org...
	10:50am David (in London): Free jazz saxers like hanging around in tunnels. Evan Parker played in the Ouseburn Victoria Tunnel in Newcastle not long ago. Yo Coela.
	10:50am coelacanth∅: you'd think playing this track would be enough to move the car
	👻 10:51am adampsyche: oh the jokes
	10:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That circular stuff at the beginning of this reminded me of Evan Parker.
	10:51am coelacanth∅: 'aftenoon David
	10:51am βrian: Ok, I'm ready for Inside the Taj Mahal, now!
	10:52am David (in London): Woods, yeah, me too. That's what made me think of the tunnel thing.
	10:53am luka: @YB i lived in Chicago all my life up until 2017ish, so that logo is making me emotional. i also recall it having a skyline.
	10:54am Hubig Pie: Pharaoh Sanders outranks Colonel Sanders
	10:55am Malcolm: what about bernie sanders?
	👻 10:55am Handy Haversack: Hey, coela. YB, have you had any interaction with Chicago Ideas Week? A friend of mine ran box office and other logistics for them for years.
	10:55am Joe Mulligan: Cloudy and raining outside but sparkling on the inside
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: Google image search for "Jazz festival logo" is fun. Some common themes: 1) The letters in JAZZ are not aligned, like they are dancing around. 2) The letters in JAZZ are different colors. 3) Script fonts - but not as many as I'd expect. 4) People cannot resist turning the "J" into a saxophone (or turning a sax into a J?). 5) No skylines. Where are all the skylines?
	10:57am Yes: cool sparkle track
	10:59am coelacanth∅: colonel sanders is like the dark-world, anti-Pharoah Sanders, poisoning the planet while Pharoah tries to cleanse the planet
	10:59am David (in London): CYB - Yes, you're right! Except the Marsden Jazz Festival which seems to have a sheep as its logo. The jazziest of all farm animals after all.
	11:00am coelacanth∅: 'morning Handy
	11:00am David (in London): Coela - And George Sanders provides the voice over.
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: This Sparkle Division is the next record I'm buying. Man this is great.
	11:00am John Allen: thanks for being here Handy. follow Handy's prompt folks and please show your support for this show during the silent fundrive/ hellraiser. We are a long way from the goal for this show. Thanks - JA
	👻 11:02am YETI BOB: @HH: Somehow despite living here for 25 years I never came across Ideas Week. Kind of embarrassing! But I'm not a total monster (even if I am a yeti), I go to the Humanities Festival and the Book Fair and other cultural stuff ...
	11:03am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I am now dancing like Lurch.
	11:06am coelacanth∅: David now i have to find a sample of shere khan
	11:11am Hubig Pie: Scat raga
	11:12am Yes: sweet
	11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey JA and JAzzbronis! JAMA not MAGA!
	11:14am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: this reminds me of: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:15am YETI BOB: I have never heard anyone play Alap on traps - amazing.
	11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Holy shit! Carla Bley goes King Crimson.
	👻 11:18am adampsyche: i am going to turn this up and apologize later
	👻 11:19am YETI BOB: This is such an amazing station and an amazing show. I've already pledged this cycle, but I just upped my donation to show some extra appreciation for JA and all this great JAZZ he brings us. Don't make me do it all alone! DONATE! DONATE! DONATE! Donate a little, donate a lot. This station is so worth it.
	👻 11:22am Handy Haversack: Same here, YB! What the hell am I saving it for? Food? PAH!
	11:24am matty from brooklyn: 9 out of 10 Matt's on Brooklyn agree, your show today is killing it today, John!
	11:26am Tom in St. Paul: It's so fresh it's a .WAV, not a particle.
	11:28am matty from brooklyn: 9 of 10 Matt's in Brooklyn agree, today's set is amazing John! Thanks!
	11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): Is t his jazz metal? I was expecting jazz metal to sound terrible.
	11:28am WM: Thanks very much for playing part of Escalator Over The Hill. It's a monumental work that features many of the best players of the era. I especially like the track Businessmen.
	11:28am matty...: not sure why that showed up 2x- sorry!
	👻 11:29am Handy Haversack: That's 18 out of 20 Matts in Brooklyn -- even better!
	11:29am John Allen: more than one Matt/ nice thanks
	11:30am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: schluß für heute. have a nice weekend. and listen to dindada from the 80ies… :-)
	11:31am Badbob: Where can i see this jazz shirt i keep hearing about?
	👻 11:32am YETI BOB: @luka: By the way I wanted to thank you for recommending the Alabaster De Plume record, I finally picked up ‘To Cy & Lee ’and just love it, been playing it a lot. @BadBob: Are you that Bad Bob? www.chick.com...
	11:32am John Allen: on the playlist Badbob, first track. Dirty Shirt
	11:34am John from Madison: Morning JA
	11:34am John Allen: hey JM!
	👻 11:40am Handy Haversack: YB, did they find a new dealer? I will click on any Chick Publications link, clearly. I wonder if their webmaster (they have one, right?) will see all the traffic coming from wfmu.org and think "it's finally working!" Black Leaf lives!
	11:42am Krys O.: I watched the 1966 Czech film The Daisies last weekend and the soundtrack made me think of your show, JA. I couldn't find any matches on the WoofMoo search though.
	11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): This is what I wish Peter Gabriel era Genesis sounded like.
	11:43am David (in London): I like the way Bad Bob looks like Jet Black from The Stranglers.
	11:43am Krys O.: Already pre-clicked!
	11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): @Krys O - Daisies is super great!
	11:44am John Allen: same, Tim
	👻 11:44am YETI BOB: @HH: I ordered a box of these Bad Bobs and I used to give them away as party favors. But then the Chick company just kept sending me unsolicited samples, and some of them were really offensive (anti-Semtitic, anti-Islam), I had to make them stop. I've used "Bad Bob" as an on-air DJ name (on pirate radio!)
	11:44am ami ad: @Handy Haversack:I see there are Quarantini t-shirts for sale out there.
	👻 11:45am PortsmouthJay: Shout out to the Downtown Music Gallery. Support 'em if you can!
	11:45am David (in London): Jan Hammer can actually out-dance MC Hammer.
	11:45am John Allen: what Jay says
	11:46am tim from champaign (now washington): Cuz MC Hammer don't have no boogie violin!
	👻 11:46am Handy Haversack: And out-jam Jan and Dean! Nice, ami ad! Though I should probably wait until they're an FMU premium ...
	11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh no! Was Jan inspired by Charlie Daniels on this song?
	👻 11:47am Handy Haversack: YB: Yeah, Chick Publications is a nightmare. But sometimes unintentionally hilarious.
	11:48am David (in London): I think it was more likely Jack Daniel's
	👻 11:48am karlward: That Jan was a barn burner. I hope the barn is OK.
	11:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Full Moon Boogie from the live Jeff Beck record??
	👻 11:48am YETI BOB: @Krys O: I don't know that film, do you recommend it? The only Czech directors I really know are Jan Švankmajer and František Vláčil (Marketa Lazarová!)
	11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): @DiL - ha!
	11:50am David (in London): CYB - 'Valerie and Her Week of Wonders' is another stonewall classic of that era of Czech craziness.
	11:52am Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: Yes, I recommend seeing The Daisies. It's visually stunning. The message can be a bit bludgeon-y, but it's definitely worth seeing. TCM has been featuring films by women directors, BTW. I've DVRd a bunch to watch at my leisure.
	11:52am tim from champaign (now washington): I think JA's thrown down the Jazz Boogie Friday gauntlet. Can Bryce bring his A game?
	👻 11:53am YETI BOB: Thanks for the film recommendations, I'll be sure to Czech those out! (showing myself to the door now...)
	11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): Man, this is getting into chooglin' territory!
	👻 11:54am Handy Haversack: You better believe that's a chooglin'!
	👻 11:54am Handy Haversack: This one is getting strung out! (I'll be with Yeti Bob ...)
	11:55am Hubig Pie: Daily 911, that cello's on fire
	11:55am ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Jazz.
	11:56am Hubig Pie: Dail, dammit
	11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, JA!!!!!!
	11:57am Hubig Pie: Dial, dad-gummit
	11:57am BLT: JA Bless
	11:57am Krys O.: Thanks, JA!
	11:57am David (in London): Thanks JA. Amazing show today.
	👻 11:58am Handy Haversack: Oh no! It's over! Pledge, people! Let's get this barn up! ("'Tis a fine barn, English, but 'tis no swimming pool.") Great show, JA -- thanks! And thanks, Matty Bones!
	12:00pm tim from champaign (now washington): This is the best JAzz show on the WHOLE dial, not just the end of the dial!
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: Thanks JA
	1:10pm terminalhipness: Hey - board is still open? My job violated "no meeting Fridays". Have to catch this in the archives!

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from October 16, 2020

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

	9:05am Heidee: @deborah @8:30, I just saw your post, thank you for the mental support, back atcha, let's keep going, my dear! I must say, I do get to harvest my fruit, to be fair, mostly with my drama work.
	9:06am David (in London): CYB - Don't crack up / bend your brain / see both sides / throw off your mental chains / ooh ooh ooh. Ami ad! Heidee!
	👻 9:06am Marley P. Dogg: Need those dirty laundry quarters for JA and WFMU party people

	9:08am woj: 3 hours of non-stop dirty, who's with me?
	👻 9:08am Handy Haversack: David, Marley, ami, Heidee, Ken, deborah! What a host of angles assembling on the dawn(ish) heights!
	9:08am Cp304: thats a pella i would have never thought to drop with this.. nice
	9:09am Heidee: Ooo Handy, very poetic. - Howaya these days?
	9:10am Doug in JC: @Handy ohhh it's Friday. long week of bad sleep and 12 hour work days
	9:10am Peter from Dover NJ: Hello David in London, Marley. Grooving while I get ready to arrange live-in care for my folks.
	👻 9:10am YETI BOB: @Handy: Acute? Obtuse?

	9:11am ami ad: Heya,YETI BOB,Marley P. Dogg, adampsyche,Ken From Hyde Park,all others out there.

	👻 9:12am YETI BOB: @cp304: what's a pella?
	9:12am Jake Man: how can i find that 'dirty' song?
	👻 9:12am Handy Haversack: We're scalene the walls, YB! Oof, Doug, I hear you, man. What times to be alive. Looking out at the gray and thinking of months of doing the same thing ...
	9:12am John Allen: exclusive to this program jake
	👻 9:13am PortsmouthJay: Jake, that's his opener every week! Right, JA?
	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: some weeks when we're extra-lucky we hear "Wake Up Little Suzie" by Neil Rolnick, which drives some of us crazy. "Dirty" is much better opener.
	👻 9:15am PortsmouthJay: Agree, YETI!
	9:15am Doug in JC: @yeti bob I admit, I set an alarm for when to turn the radio back on
	9:15am David (in London): Yeah, my Aggrometer hasn't registered a single NRu for weeks now.

	9:15am Peter from Dover NJ: Scalene the walls, LOL!
	9:16am Cp304: anyone having issues posting via FF mobile?
	9:16am luka: this Rolnick slander is outrageous.
	9:16am John Allen: back us up, luka!
	9:17am luka: did i want to tear my ears off my head the first few times i heard it? yes. but let it wash over you. be reborn.
	9:17am ami ad: Yea,I was worried for a while when little suzy was off the air.
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: I truly appreciate Neil Rolnick's artistry but I never want to hear that track again! :)
	9:19am John Allen: yeti, did you get the 12"?
	9:23am Mike W: I am happy to be here as anywhere but here seems nice
	9:26am John Allen: Mike W happy yr here
	👻 9:26am Handy Haversack: One has to get 9:42 with the Rolnick. It puts some Tuesday into Friday, but isn't that JAZZ?
	👻 9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: JA plays LZ!
	9:26am Colleen: Soooo happy to hear this right now....
	9:26am John Allen: handy, that gets you co-host status. get us some $$
	9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Is this from an extended version of Houses of the Holy?
	👻 9:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Correction: JA plays LZ - RP!
	👻 9:27am Handy Haversack: Nice -- now if you could remove LZ vocals and lyrics from my memory entirely, we'd really be cooking with gas!
	9:27am luka: no quarter, no vocals, no service.
	9:27am winston legthigh: this guitar sounds a little different than the house of holy album.
	9:27am luka: or no problem. depending on your perspective.
	9:28am PaulRobeson1920: Warm greetings ya’ll! ....No Quarter
	👻 9:29am YETI BOB: LZ - RP = Actually a good band
	9:29am Cp304: im trying to think of the beach boys song ToTom mixed with this..
	9:29am Rich in Bristol: I saw a sign in a shop window last week that said: "No shirt, no trousers, no shoes, no mask – No Service."
	👻 9:30am PKNY: I'm missing JPJ's piano lines on this version of "No Quarter"
	9:32am Mark Hurst: I like this version a lot better.
	👻 9:32am Handy Haversack: Please pledge to keep LZ RP-free forever: pledge.wfmu.org...
	👻 9:33am Handy Haversack: (How'm I doing, JA?) Hey, Mark! dkg came over and hung out in the yard last night. We are all excited for Monday!
	9:34am John Allen: nice Handy, we're just getting started
	9:34am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So much classic rock snobbery here. I listened to Styx the other day and I LIKED IT!! NYAH!! ;-)
	👻 9:35am karlward: I swear, if I miss another Plant-less Led Zeppelin song, I will go on with my life as if that never happened
	👻 9:35am Handy Haversack: Sure, I would always pick up Styx!
	9:36am Heidee: This is nice. I can hear the falling leaves.
	9:37am David (in London): Woods, I'm with you. Rock on brother!
	👻 9:39am YETI BOB: @Woods: I like plenty of classic rock, I just have never appreciated Plant's vocal stylings. They could have been such a good band with a different singer.
	9:40am melinda: @Woods hahaha
	👻 9:41am Handy Haversack: Not that I'm a big Tolkien fan, but Plant understood LoTR even less than Peter Jackson did. Did the tintinnabulation of the bells eat JA?
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: The interesting thing is that for the most part I like what Plant has done solo much more, especially in recent years.
	9:42am Ike: You're back now!
	👻 9:42am karlward: This is happening
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: Whew. Thought I was going to have to get in the game there for a minute! Now where's my clipboard?
	9:43am ami ad: JA and the Dropouts. Lower Bed-Stuy? I was told many years ago I live in Prime Bed-Stuy.
	9:44am madison: I was in laaraji’s apartment the other night and he has no comfy chair
	9:45am Gary: good
	9:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Yeah, you can't help what resonates or doesn't. I have friends who are enormous fans of early Genesis and I just never could appreciate Gabriel's vocals. Still don't.
	9:46am Cp304: off to first job (intermittent internet). have a great day all, will be listening
	👻 9:47am YETI BOB: Gareth Williams "Flaming Tunes" was issued on vinyl in 2012, I remember seeing it in the shops and foolishly not picking it up, it now goes for around $100. Excited for the re-re-release.
	9:48am Mark Hurst: @Handy nice to hear! dkg was great. Looking forward to sharing the interview.
	9:48am John Allen: yeah blackest ever did a pressing that sold out fast
	9:49am rsj: how is this so good?
	9:50am David (in London): Charles Bullen's Lifetones side project was well worth forking out for, too, I reckon.
	👻 9:50am wolfingham: incredible selection here
	9:52am Malcolm: anyone catch the nico film? i enjoyed it a lot
	👻 9:53am Handy Haversack: Nico's birthday, no?
	9:53am David (in London): Hey Malcolm.
	9:56am Malcolm: hey david!
	9:56am Malcolm: how do?
	9:57am John Allen: yes happy birthday nico
	9:57am David (in London): I think this track was on the classic Beggars Banquet '£1.99' compilation of 1985. That was such a great album. Malcolm - Time for a Hat Museum practise soon I reckon.
	👻 9:58am YETI BOB: I recognize this tune, isnt't his called "The Orchids"? (Califone did a cover of it)
	9:59am melinda: @Yeti this sounds like a different version of Orchids
	👻 9:59am YETI BOB: different recording, same song
	9:59am melinda: right
	10:00am PaulRobeson1920: A very Happy STINKIN BIRTHDAY to NICO!
	10:00am melinda: But Psychic TV did another that I'm more familiar with
	10:00am Malcolm: @david Oh for sure. I'm writing a song about a trilby as we speak
	10:01am Malcolm: @melinda the well-known version is on the dreams less sweet album
	👻 10:02am YETI BOB: califone version is great too
	10:03am Mike W: I’ll never forget spending hundreds of dollars of Kinko’s money in 1990 helping a Mpls label get a two-sided cardstock insert looking right for a Dog Faced Hermans 7 they were doing #nocharge
	10:05am melinda: @Malcolm yeah, that's what I have on cassette.
	10:06am Malcolm: @melinda nice thing to have! I want a physical copy but discog prices are crazy :'(
	10:06am alanr: Wow. how weird in a good way. I was thinking about Amy Denio earlier this week and I do not recall why. I met her in the early 90s in Cleveland when she was performing with the Billy Tipton Saxophone Quartet. Excited to hear her again a zillion years later!
	10:08am David (in London): I haven't heard the Dog Faced Hermans in an age. That was really great. I can hardly believe it's almost 30 years old.
	10:08am melinda: @Malcolm I taped it from my sister's album ages ago and it's in a packing box somewhere so I'm not sure how well it's held up. Hopefully sis has the original, I should ask her.
	10:12am John Allen: alan r, yr in the right place but the wrong time
	10:16am luka: skylines = JAZZ. that's just the way it is.
	10:19am Ike: Wait, so if he doesn't reach his goal, JA is only going to play the early 70s thing, noise with a beat, the sounds of pinches, dub, and the whole folk thing from now on?
	10:20am John Allen: no going back Ike. who knows, sometimes it's just time to move on and start a jazz trio
	👻 10:35am Handy Haversack: Rain means Bagpipe assumes the "should anyone need me, I'll be under the DU-vet" position. Got any wake-the-dog JAZZ up in there, JA?
	10:38am John Allen: you're right handy, it's awfully quiet in the pledge room. please make the pitch
	10:39am βrian: Düvet seems like a likely band name. Metal, naturally.
	10:41am David (in London): βrian - I see Düvet as being at that nexus of heavy Scandinavian rock and psych, a bit like Circle.
	👻 10:43am Handy Haversack: Sauna Metal. People, JA brings many other letters and pretty much all of the notes to us. You can tell your friends you're into black-pumpkin JAZZ and make them jealous. At the $5,000 level, JA will even get in your barn! But all pledges accepted. pledge.wfmu.org...
	10:44am Mike W: notes, stanzas, lacunae
	👻 10:47am karlward: We are all moving the car
	10:47am coelacanth∅: you should start it over
	👻 10:48am Threemoons: Loving this set in rainy Astoria...mellow Friday vibes...
	👻 10:48am adampsyche: that is the most on brand wfmu brb from a dj i've ever heard
	10:48am coelacanth∅: good morning John and all
	10:48am βrian: A fearful curse: "May you think about parking!"
	10:48am luka: thinking about moving the car in solidarity.
	10:49am prudy: Pharoah is such a mystical player to me....
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: @luka: I was thinking that the logo for the Chicago Jazz Festival (sob) had a skyline motif ... it doesn't, but it does have a really nice jazzy script font - check it out jazzinchicago.org...
	10:50am David (in London): Free jazz saxers like hanging around in tunnels. Evan Parker played in the Ouseburn Victoria Tunnel in Newcastle not long ago. Yo Coela.
	10:50am coelacanth∅: you'd think playing this track would be enough to move the car
	👻 10:51am adampsyche: oh the jokes
	10:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That circular stuff at the beginning of this reminded me of Evan Parker.
	10:51am coelacanth∅: 'aftenoon David
	10:51am βrian: Ok, I'm ready for Inside the Taj Mahal, now!
	10:52am David (in London): Woods, yeah, me too. That's what made me think of the tunnel thing.
	10:53am luka: @YB i lived in Chicago all my life up until 2017ish, so that logo is making me emotional. i also recall it having a skyline.
	10:54am Hubig Pie: Pharaoh Sanders outranks Colonel Sanders
	10:55am Malcolm: what about bernie sanders?
	👻 10:55am Handy Haversack: Hey, coela. YB, have you had any interaction with Chicago Ideas Week? A friend of mine ran box office and other logistics for them for years.
	10:55am Joe Mulligan: Cloudy and raining outside but sparkling on the inside
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: Google image search for "Jazz festival logo" is fun. Some common themes: 1) The letters in JAZZ are not aligned, like they are dancing around. 2) The letters in JAZZ are different colors. 3) Script fonts - but not as many as I'd expect. 4) People cannot resist turning the "J" into a saxophone (or turning a sax into a J?). 5) No skylines. Where are all the skylines?
	10:57am Yes: cool sparkle track
	10:59am coelacanth∅: colonel sanders is like the dark-world, anti-Pharoah Sanders, poisoning the planet while Pharoah tries to cleanse the planet
	10:59am David (in London): CYB - Yes, you're right! Except the Marsden Jazz Festival which seems to have a sheep as its logo. The jazziest of all farm animals after all.
	11:00am coelacanth∅: 'morning Handy
	11:00am David (in London): Coela - And George Sanders provides the voice over.
	👻 11:00am YETI BOB: This Sparkle Division is the next record I'm buying. Man this is great.
	11:00am John Allen: thanks for being here Handy. follow Handy's prompt folks and please show your support for this show during the silent fundrive/ hellraiser. We are a long way from the goal for this show. Thanks - JA
	👻 11:02am YETI BOB: @HH: Somehow despite living here for 25 years I never came across Ideas Week. Kind of embarrassing! But I'm not a total monster (even if I am a yeti), I go to the Humanities Festival and the Book Fair and other cultural stuff ...
	11:03am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I am now dancing like Lurch.
	11:06am coelacanth∅: David now i have to find a sample of shere khan
	11:11am Hubig Pie: Scat raga
	11:12am Yes: sweet
	11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey JA and JAzzbronis! JAMA not MAGA!
	11:14am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: this reminds me of: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:15am YETI BOB: I have never heard anyone play Alap on traps - amazing.
	11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): Holy shit! Carla Bley goes King Crimson.
	👻 11:18am adampsyche: i am going to turn this up and apologize later
	👻 11:19am YETI BOB: This is such an amazing station and an amazing show. I've already pledged this cycle, but I just upped my donation to show some extra appreciation for JA and all this great JAZZ he brings us. Don't make me do it all alone! DONATE! DONATE! DONATE! Donate a little, donate a lot. This station is so worth it.
	👻 11:22am Handy Haversack: Same here, YB! What the hell am I saving it for? Food? PAH!
	11:24am matty from brooklyn: 9 out of 10 Matt's on Brooklyn agree, your show today is killing it today, John!
	11:26am Tom in St. Paul: It's so fresh it's a .WAV, not a particle.
	11:28am matty from brooklyn: 9 of 10 Matt's in Brooklyn agree, today's set is amazing John! Thanks!
	11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): Is t his jazz metal? I was expecting jazz metal to sound terrible.
	11:28am WM: Thanks very much for playing part of Escalator Over The Hill. It's a monumental work that features many of the best players of the era. I especially like the track Businessmen.
	11:28am matty...: not sure why that showed up 2x- sorry!
	👻 11:29am Handy Haversack: That's 18 out of 20 Matts in Brooklyn -- even better!
	11:29am John Allen: more than one Matt/ nice thanks
	11:30am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: schluß für heute. have a nice weekend. and listen to dindada from the 80ies… :-)
	11:31am Badbob: Where can i see this jazz shirt i keep hearing about?
	👻 11:32am YETI BOB: @luka: By the way I wanted to thank you for recommending the Alabaster De Plume record, I finally picked up ‘To Cy & Lee ’and just love it, been playing it a lot. @BadBob: Are you that Bad Bob? www.chick.com...
	11:32am John Allen: on the playlist Badbob, first track. Dirty Shirt
	11:34am John from Madison: Morning JA
	11:34am John Allen: hey JM!
	👻 11:40am Handy Haversack: YB, did they find a new dealer? I will click on any Chick Publications link, clearly. I wonder if their webmaster (they have one, right?) will see all the traffic coming from wfmu.org and think "it's finally working!" Black Leaf lives!
	11:42am Krys O.: I watched the 1966 Czech film The Daisies last weekend and the soundtrack made me think of your show, JA. I couldn't find any matches on the WoofMoo search though.
	11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): This is what I wish Peter Gabriel era Genesis sounded like.
	11:43am David (in London): I like the way Bad Bob looks like Jet Black from The Stranglers.
	11:43am Krys O.: Already pre-clicked!
	11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): @Krys O - Daisies is super great!
	11:44am John Allen: same, Tim
	👻 11:44am YETI BOB: @HH: I ordered a box of these Bad Bobs and I used to give them away as party favors. But then the Chick company just kept sending me unsolicited samples, and some of them were really offensive (anti-Semtitic, anti-Islam), I had to make them stop. I've used "Bad Bob" as an on-air DJ name (on pirate radio!)
	11:44am ami ad: @Handy Haversack:I see there are Quarantini t-shirts for sale out there.
	👻 11:45am PortsmouthJay: Shout out to the Downtown Music Gallery. Support 'em if you can!
	11:45am David (in London): Jan Hammer can actually out-dance MC Hammer.
	11:45am John Allen: what Jay says
	11:46am tim from champaign (now washington): Cuz MC Hammer don't have no boogie violin!
	👻 11:46am Handy Haversack: And out-jam Jan and Dean! Nice, ami ad! Though I should probably wait until they're an FMU premium ...
	11:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh no! Was Jan inspired by Charlie Daniels on this song?
	👻 11:47am Handy Haversack: YB: Yeah, Chick Publications is a nightmare. But sometimes unintentionally hilarious.
	11:48am David (in London): I think it was more likely Jack Daniel's
	👻 11:48am karlward: That Jan was a barn burner. I hope the barn is OK.
	11:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Full Moon Boogie from the live Jeff Beck record??
	👻 11:48am YETI BOB: @Krys O: I don't know that film, do you recommend it? The only Czech directors I really know are Jan Švankmajer and František Vláčil (Marketa Lazarová!)
	11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): @DiL - ha!
	11:50am David (in London): CYB - 'Valerie and Her Week of Wonders' is another stonewall classic of that era of Czech craziness.
	11:52am Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: Yes, I recommend seeing The Daisies. It's visually stunning. The message can be a bit bludgeon-y, but it's definitely worth seeing. TCM has been featuring films by women directors, BTW. I've DVRd a bunch to watch at my leisure.
	11:52am tim from champaign (now washington): I think JA's thrown down the Jazz Boogie Friday gauntlet. Can Bryce bring his A game?
	👻 11:53am YETI BOB: Thanks for the film recommendations, I'll be sure to Czech those out! (showing myself to the door now...)
	11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): Man, this is getting into chooglin' territory!
	👻 11:54am Handy Haversack: You better believe that's a chooglin'!
	👻 11:54am Handy Haversack: This one is getting strung out! (I'll be with Yeti Bob ...)
	11:55am Hubig Pie: Daily 911, that cello's on fire
	11:55am ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Jazz.
	11:56am Hubig Pie: Dail, dammit
	11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, JA!!!!!!
	11:57am Hubig Pie: Dial, dad-gummit
	11:57am BLT: JA Bless
	11:57am Krys O.: Thanks, JA!
	11:57am David (in London): Thanks JA. Amazing show today.
	👻 11:58am Handy Haversack: Oh no! It's over! Pledge, people! Let's get this barn up! ("'Tis a fine barn, English, but 'tis no swimming pool.") Great show, JA -- thanks! And thanks, Matty Bones!
	12:00pm tim from champaign (now washington): This is the best JAzz show on the WHOLE dial, not just the end of the dial!
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: Thanks JA
	1:10pm terminalhipness: Hey - board is still open? My job violated "no meeting Fridays". Have to catch this in the archives!
