	9:05am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	9:05am luka: wearing my Jazz shirt while the show is on for the first time. feeling powerful.
	👻 9:06am Handy Haversack: The not-sleeping two-sixths of the household thank you, Marley! Be careful, luka! You might transcend!
	9:06am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Dirty. Hot.
	9:06am Cooh John: Good morning. Waiting for Abba to break out.
	9:06am Krys O.: Greetings! There's a picture on my Instagram of my kitty, Harvey resting on me while I'm wearing the Jazz tee.
	9:08am Heidee: Ea, Blues Mandinga!
	9:09am terminalhipness: Hello Krys. The new white tee? Haven't gotten mine yet...
	9:11am Listener Bop Monroe: oh no he pushed the button...?!!!!
	👻 9:11am adampsyche: wake up little suzie
	9:11am Krys O.: Yup, the white tee.
	9:11am terminalhipness: Cool!
	9:12am DJ Guin: For a second there, I thought I had to Duck & Cover. "Do we really want Old Man Trump's finger on the button?"
	9:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @DJ Guin: For real!
	9:13am DJ Guin: @melinda -- belated 'High' to you
	9:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: I don't want that dude's finger anywhere.
	9:13am Krys O.: Luckily he is a short-fingered vulgarian.
	9:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Let's see...Apocalypse or Prison ...a POTUS is all about decision making...
	9:14am Listener Bop Monroe: as a vulgarian, i resemble that remark!
	9:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): And just when you think that Rudy at the Four Seasons can't be topped, there was yesterday...
	9:15am DJ Guin: Betcha Donnie Boy will try to smuggle the Football out of the WH and deliver to Comrade Putin.
	9:15am ami ad: smoove
	9:15am Listener Bop Monroe: was leaking Cordovan show polish down his ears.
	9:15am Listener Bop Monroe: shoe polish d'oh!
	9:17am DJ Guin: Any word on when Ghouliani will get back to chasing Tweety Bird and disappear from public life?
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: @DJ Guin: Never gonna happen. He's going to have a cerebral hemmorage at one of these press conferences.
	👻 9:22am Handy Haversack: We hadn't gotten to the Kate reads Handy the Gothamist headlines part of the morning yet, so I had no idea what you all were talking about.
	9:23am DJ Guin: @YETI -- it's anyone's guess when Ghouliani or Trumpski will grab a baby and use it as a human shield. Four more years will become wholly possible as a result. The sheer ignorance and blind devotion to these scumbags and fascism astounds me. Okay. Well, not really.
	👻 9:23am YETI BOB: @HH: Don't know if you watch this sort of thing but Stephen Colbert had some great footage last night.
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: @HH: Rudy sweating constantly, ranting incoherently, re-enacting a scene from "My Cousin Vinnie", while his hair dye is dripping down both sides of his face.
	9:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have a question. What are all these "fleet" mentions in social media referring to?
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: @HH: If it were satire, I'd call it heavy-handed, but it was freaking REAL
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: @Woods: A new thing that Twitter introduced, messages that disappear after 24 hours. As someone said "For when you want to say things that are too awful to stick around on Twitter!"
	9:25am DJ Guin: "Fleets work to address this by providing a space where the content disappears after 24 hours, while Fleets also can't be retweeted, liked or even replied to in public - people can only react to your Fleets via DMs. "
	👻 9:26am Handy Haversack: I don't, YB, not really. "Kate Reads the Headlines" is the only news program I can stomach.
	9:26am luka: BOB JAMS
	9:27am DJ Guin: Handy? "Cancer survivor Marcia Cross says she’s ‘big fan of the anus’" - Mrs. Handy
	9:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Ah, I guess like SnapChat. Good. Can be ignored then.
	👻 9:28am Handy Haversack: We're both Mx. Handy over here, DJG! And you can't see Uranus with the naked eye.
	9:29am melinda: It's fun to imagine the movies for these sounds. This is Morricone Island territory but with breakfast instead of dinner.
	👻 9:29am YETI BOB: @HH: You're probably better off that way. I am needing to detox a bit from the amount of news and late-night TV I've been watching.
	👻 9:30am YETI BOB: on a more happy topic: Is it too early to declare Sparkle Division "Album of the year"? Is there another candidate I'm overlooking?
	9:31am John Allen: not too soon, Sparkle Division is a Top 10
	9:33am DJ Guin: Happy Birthday Shout-Out to "Uncle" Joe Biden -- President Elect and Restorer of Decency! He turns 78 years young today! Anyone else playing hooky to go the Inauguration?
	9:33am steveo: hey good morning; my dear spouse is here and I suggested we put on the radio, it's John Allen, I said, and she said oh, sure, I don't mind John Allen. That's high praise! Also she pointed out that I'm wearing your shirt (the black Lambkin one).
	9:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Basinski's Lamentations is up there. Also, I found the Andrienne Lenker Instrumentals to be mucho-de-soothing-o.
	9:34am terminalhipness: @ YETI - Sparkle Division is cool. Luke Stewart "Exposure Quartet" is def top 10 for me.
	9:34am Andres: Morning John and all! I was thinking there was a connection but could not put my finger on Jan Hammer.
	9:35am DJ Guin: @steveo -- are you also wearing J.A's underwear? ;-)
	9:36am steveo: hahaha -- now there's a marathon premium
	9:36am Mark R: I liked Nicholas Jaar's album a lot.
	9:36am Mark R: Jim White and Marisa Anderson
	9:37am Mark R: Okkyung Lee's album was beautiful
	9:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @DJ Guin: Is there really going to be a for-real, people are present inauguration?
	9:37am DJ Guin: Woof-Moo could sell soiled Air Personalities underwear in Japan and fund the station for 10 years
	9:38am terminalhipness: @Woods - Just recently checked out 'Lamentations'. Really growing on me with every listen. Yet another artist I would not know about without JA show!
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: @terminalhipness: I haven't heard that one, adding to the "must check out" list!
	9:39am Mark R: OK I'll stop now. Like all years, there are at least 10 or 20 albums that are classics that you'll still be listening to in 20 years. Woods, I'm thinking they're going to do a virtual inauguration. That guarantees you-know-who won't be there. Also, Biden doesn't need big crowds to validate his self-worth, unlike some presidents I know
	9:39am DJ Guin: @Woods - last I read, yes. But getting a hotel room is nigh impossible. Just to be there and show support and laugh at Trumpski's COVIDiots and White Supremacists' would be worth the trip.
	9:39am John Allen: note to self, edible jazz underwear marathon premium
	👻 9:40am YETI BOB: @MarkR: I'll check that out too - I like Marissa Anderson a lot. Honestly I'm probably not even remembering the records that came out in January/February, aka the "Before Times".
	9:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @terminalhipness For me it's been both this station and monthly readings of The Wire. There's SO much great stuff out there! Also a big an of Basinski's Disintegration Tapes.
	9:41am Mark R: Bob, I literally make a list for that very reason (yes, I'm insane.)
	9:42am Andres: Plenum - Are we talking HVAC or general assembly?
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: JA: Intimate Solos.
	9:42am Mark R: OMG Ella's Lost Berlin Tapes! I was just listening to that, it's amazing. OK now I'll really, actually stop.
	9:43am Deborah: It's 9:43!
	9:44am Krys O.: @WoodsONHNM: I made a video for one of Basinski's Disintegrations: youtu.be...
	9:44am TomDash: and now...it's 9:44!
	9:45am steveo: time keeps on slippin sliippin slippin
	👻 9:45am YETI BOB: @KrysO: I'll be watching that after this show!
	9:45am terminalhipness: @Woods - Haven't gotten the Wire lately. I was a big fan of 'Signal to Noise"... Gone now
	9:45am DJ Guin: @Woods - in lieu of In Person attendance, WMFU could setup a Zoom Meeting Watching Party with Blackjack and Hookers and replete with Drinking Games and Bong Hits. Tell Staysh I want partial credit.
	9:45am maestroso: Lamin! I remember his show, it was excellent!
	9:45am TomDash: morning Deborah, and fellow jazz cats. Looks Like I didn't miss Jan yet?
	9:46am Mark R: The Wire's occasional compilations are always great, too!
	9:47am terminalhipness: @YETI - me too! Thanks Krys!
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: That looks super-cool. Will have to check it out after work. And hey, Olsiewicz? That sounds mighty Polish (this comment coming from me, Mr. Saleski). Ha.
	👻 9:50am YETI BOB: Jeff Parker's "Suite for Max Brown" was released on 24 Jan 2020 so that's a candate. Also "Chicago Underground Quartet" was a strong album this year. And maybe this "Exploding Star Orchestra". I'm sure I'm overlooking so many things!
	9:50am DJ Guin: ::yawn:: Time for Timer. I hanker for a hunk of cheese. "Tralfaz. Is that Polish? " "No. It's Spanish for 'Go F#ck yourself."
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That Jeff Parker is great. I love recordings that are hard to categorize.
	9:52am Mark R: I forgot that Jeff Parker album--loved it!
	9:52am DJ Guin: ttyl kids. got some reading to catch up on and a flu shot a bit later today.
	9:54am Mark R: Every January I try to give all my favorite albums of the previous year at least one more spin before I forget how great they are!
	9:56am ami ad: $5 gigs, not $10m deals: the story of US punk label Dischord Records. the guardian.com
	9:59am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I end up using my Bandcamp app to figure out what is recent. Sometimes I'll buy stuff late at night and then the next day scroll through stuff on the server and it's like "Where did this come from??"
	10:01am Mark R: Totally relate, Woods
	👻 10:01am Handy Haversack: Fingers crossed that Bandcamp also starts carrying used books. Since the Ebay revelations, I'm stuck waiting until we're out of town and in places where the real estate "market" will let used bookstores survive.
	10:03am terminalhipness: @YETI Luke Stewart “Exposure QUINTET” (I might as well get it right). So far as I can tell, first time together (on record )for Ken Vandermark and Ernest Dawkins…
	10:05am terminalhipness: @ami - that looks interesting. Thanks.
	10:05am john_NN_nn_n: morning everyone enjoying the show JA
	10:06am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Are things like The Strand and AbeBooks not an option?
	👻 10:06am YETI BOB: @terminal: Cool, thanks. I haven't really been keeping up with Vandermark, but the guy is a titan.
	10:08am terminalhipness: @Handy - Wait, what about eBay?
	10:09am Andres: On the tubes, check out the many Nardwuar interviews with Ian Mackaye. Good history there. Good guarded and playful back and forth.
	10:11am ami ad: Nardwuar,yes.
	10:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: GAH, stupid zoom meeting. Missed th'Cortesyphone. Must now punch self, with all due force, INNAFACE.
	10:14am Krys O.: @WoodsONHNM: Yup, my family is Polish with forays into other Slavic areas waaaaaay back in the day.
	👻 10:14am Handy Haversack: terminalhipness: Ebay execs approved of and directed a strategy of emotional terror against a couple in Massachusetts after they complained about their treatment as sellers. Disgusting stuff, totally typical of Silicon Valley. I know there's no clean consumption under capitalism, but there's dirty and then there's dirty (right, Don?). I'll find the links from Techtonic. Woods, yes ... with a but. They're not good for "hey, one penny plus shipping for some seventies sci-fi I may as well check out because that cover is trippy"!
	👻 10:17am Handy Haversack: terminalhipness: www.theguardian.com... And Mark Hurst's take: creativegood.com...
	👻 10:18am Barney Grubbs: @handy: Not quite the same, but book revue in Huntington has a thing where they’ll pick out 6 books for you for $40: www.bookrevue.com...
	10:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So much of this disgusting business behavior comes down to our religion of quarterly results and maximizing shareholder value.
	10:19am terminalhipness: @Handy - thank you for the info.
	👻 10:22am Handy Haversack: Huh! Pretty cool, Barney Grubbs! Woods -- and at some point (well, that point is probably rather easily located in feudalism), the cognitive leap on the part of the owner class that the rest of us are not people: that is what allows the hallowed profits-above-all.
	👻 10:23am PortsmouthJay: Good Morning and happy Friday everyone! 🎶
	10:27am Neptune: This is a good one - what is the genre?
	👻 10:30am karlward: That one Panda Bear show that Mick Jagger attended really made an impact I guess. Love the new Stones sound.
	10:32am John Allen: after 60 years the Stones finally agreed to an outside producer....who came to work in footsie PJs
	👻 10:39am PortsmouthJay: Woods, Handy: I'm curious, I purchase music on Bandcamp each week and then it's uploaded to my Roon server, so I can play it through the stereo system. Is there a better way of organizing, or how do you organize all the digital purchases, or do you? Do you have a system? I feel like the digital only releases I forget about sometimes, whereas the physical media I order is accessible and played more often. Thoughts?
	10:39am Zetti: Cool set. Thanks.
	10:40am morphe': The Rolling Stones ??? original ????
	10:42am Neptune: Really nice set :)
	👻 10:42am YETI BOB: the sun is good.
	👻 10:42am karlward: I would love to hear an actual Panda Bear produced Rolling Stones track. Somehow I doubt that this ever happened.
	👻 10:42am Handy Haversack: PortsmouthJay, I'm probably not a great person to ask since I kind of feel the same. I just DL it all onto the computer into a single folder, and that folder is my VLC Media Library. I listen to it all through VLC. Yo, morph! How goes the reentry?
	10:47am morphe': We must ask Handy if BagPipe eats tomatoes or salso or??? My Beagle Beatlenose ate everything except jello - cat shit, grey soggy pizza crusts from the rain soaked 14th street gutter, veg ... no jello????
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: I've got close to a terabyte of digital music sitting on a RAID array that I basically never play unless I have a reason to search for some very specific song. And a shelf of CDs that also mostly remain unplayed. Only LPs and WFMU get serious attention.
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Bagpipe's willing to try, at least. He even gives pebbles an experimental chew if his path brings him near one on a walk. I hauled a muffin wrapper out of his mouth yesterday, which is much more pleasant than helping it get out the other end.
	👻 10:50am YETI BOB: My digital music library is very well organized though, neste folders for Artist/Album
	👻 10:50am YETI BOB: nested. i spent more time organizing it than i do playing it.
	👻 10:51am Handy Haversack: Yeah, mine is too, to that extent, YB. When extracting Bandcamp ZIP files, it's easy to change the hyphen in the file name into a backslash, which then extracts the album to the artist folder (in Windows).
	10:51am morphe': Handy ... yes .. so happy to be here .. missing Simon but ok on the phone - he is 9 and I bore him anyway!!!!! Saw TDK yesterday fo 1/2 hour ... gave him a TDK 60 from a Madrid dumpster ... waiting for the content analysis .. Maribel wants to meet ye again ... yer side or in GO??? I gave her Kate's CD ... I had it in Madrid....she just took it home... Till soon !!!!
	10:53am terminalhipness: So much more great music than I have actual time to listen to... I am okay with this problem.
	10:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @PortsmouthJay I just have a music folder on my iMac on which I'm running a server. I use an app on my phone to drive the receiver, which is a network-enabled Yamaha. I don't really love scrolling through the folders on my phone but have come to accept it.
	10:55am Ike: Gentlemen, your discussion clarifies why I prefer cats: 1) Less drooling 2) Softer and more fun to pet 3) Purring 4) Won't eat random stuff like muffin wrappers, though admittedly Toasty can smell yogurt from anywhere in the apt. and will try to steal it, but has no interest in other human foods except maybe meat occasionally
	👻 10:55am Handy Haversack: morph, this weekend is kind of screwed, but maybe next? Might be rainy, though.
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: Ike: our little Sonja loves yogurt too. We just let her eat it (plain/unsweetened). Cheese too, but only tiny little bits.
	10:56am tim from champaign (now washington): JAzzman!
	👻 10:57am YETI BOB: and butter ... both cats lick the butter if we don't remember to cover the butter dish
	10:59am morphe': For after the show -------Just received an E missive : Melies' "Voyage a le Lune" Music: by David Short - Billi Brass Quintet
	11:00am tim from champaign (now washington): This is Von LMO?
	👻 11:00am Handy Haversack: Two of our cats will eat any human food they can get at. Nothing gets left out in this apartment. Voltron once broke all of our bowls. And Callipygian is down to maybe three teeth, so there's plenty of drooling, esp. when she shakes her head around because her extreme ear wax bothers her. So ... while there might be a little more dignity on the cat side, nothing is pure. Ripeness is all.
	11:05am TomDash: @tim - that was my thought on first glance too! Like minds. I'm feeling a hammer about to drop though, just saying...
	11:05am Ike: @Handy, those are excellent cat names. Any more?
	11:06am TomDash: thank. god.
	11:06am John Allen: Tom, yr uncanny
	11:07am TomDash: you taught me well...
	11:07am ami ad: smooze
	👻 11:07am Handy Haversack: Hammer Time! Ike, the third cat, Lulu, arrived from the bodega already named, but it suits her.
	👻 11:07am YETI BOB: moderncat.com has a list of People Foods you should NEVER Feed Your Cat, and another list of People Foods You CAN Feed Your Cat. Cheese made it on both lists.
	👻 11:08am YETI BOB: "Cat approved cheese choices include cottage cheese, Swiss, cheddar or gouda."
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My CD collection is a total mess. Because it's well over 5k discs and lives half in corrugated cardboard boxes (ones still in jewel boxes) and half in banker's boxes (transferred to sleeves). I have half a mind to toss the whole lot out.
	11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): Man, that JAzz guitar smoothed out all the stress knots in my neck. Feelin melllll-o! Thanks, JA! @TomDash - you know it!
	👻 11:09am YETI BOB: (lower lactose content)
	👻 11:10am Handy Haversack: The modern cat embraces the richness of ambiguity, YB. Like Borges. The hound is about to take me on our walk. Hope to make it back before the end, but if not, I'll thank you now, JA, for another great Friday. steveo's partner was right! This show is unmindable! Be well, all. CATch youse soon.
	👻 11:10am YETI BOB: later Handy!
	👻 11:10am PortsmouthJay: @Woods -- I sold a ton to Bullmoose for store credit and then bought some vinyl. It saved me so much space.
	👻 11:11am YETI BOB: @Woods: I got rid of most of CDs ages ago, just kept the really important/irreplaceable ones. And all the WFMU premiums.
	11:11am terminalhipness: @Woods - I no longer feel alone, thank you.
	👻 11:12am YETI BOB: I had a sort of unstable period and was moving a lot, which inspired me to get rid of a lot of things.
	11:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: The count used to be closer to 8k. I "downsized." I may do that again. We shall see ( dang it, Zoom meeting in 3 minutes )
	11:13am terminalhipness: Discovered this Lemon Quartet back in the spring, when I was putting together "mask themed" playlist.
	👻 11:16am YETI BOB: I started seriously asking myself: "Am I ever going to play this again?" and not just "Is this collectible?". It was liberating. And if you get rid of 3/4 of your records (or books) and only keep the top 25%, then you are left with a really top-notch collection ... and some space on your shelf for new records.
	👻 11:17am YETI BOB: Yay, my homie Jeff Parker! Thanks JA!
	11:18am Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: I can relate. My most recent move to a smaller space with fewer closets to squirrel away boxes prompted me to cull many items. I donated quite a bit to WFMU and to the Vietnam Vets.
	👻 11:22am YETI BOB: Jeff Parker might win over Sparkle Division. Tough call, but fortunately nobody is really asking me to pick.
	👻 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: Was it on a Pseu or Fabio chat board yesterday about talking to oneself? A comic strip today must have overhead it. www.shoecomics.com...
	👻 11:23am PortsmouthJay: Yes... culling the herd of many promo CDs and keeping essentials is great, the rest is digital and backed up, with a lot of vinyl but that's also essential these days for room, I went through a period of buying every Thrill Jockey and International Anthem on vinyl.. no room!
	👻 11:24am YETI BOB: @PJ: I was buying every IA release there for a while too. They are just sooo good.
	11:24am terminalhipness: YETI,Kyrs,Woods - Maybe there's hope for me yet. If I have to move all that stuff again, that will probably be the catalyst...
	👻 11:25am PortsmouthJay: @YETI - No doubt! Such a great label. I also wnet back to listen to Isotope recently. Remember that outfit? They opened for Tortoise one summer back in ... 98?
	11:32am morphe': Thanks JA and all .... til... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Krys - did you just have a B-Day ?? I feel, from yer post info stuff/references/knowledge we are in the same age range? I am '61 = born '61 - soon to be 59 and could care less!!!! Although the SS $$$$ at 62 will give me ever more spending power on nothing but food, beer, wine and travel = if travel will be allowed in the future ...
	11:32am Phillippe Bastille: Hey there
	11:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: YAAAASSSSSSSSS......
	11:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: I missed the announce bit: where's this version from? Not the take from Brown Rice...
	11:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Get rid of books?? Here's one (of two) walls in the room I'm working in --> imgur.com...
	11:38am Honeybear: "get rid of books"? - impossible
	11:39am Krys O.: Tomorrow is my birthday, morphe. I will have completed 57 years on this globe. Was born the day before JFK's assassination in 1963.
	11:40am morphe': Woods ... I have a modern Mac but cannot access the images you send?
	11:40am Krys O.: @Honey Bear: I didn't look at dispersing books, videos or music as getting rid of them. I permanently shared them.
	11:41am steveo: happy birthday Krys, if I don't see you tomorrow. that must have been wild for your parents the next day
	11:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @morphe': Hmmm...it's just a link to a post on imgur. Can anybody else see that photo?
	11:41am Krys O.: Nice shelves, Woods!
	11:42am morphe': Krys - I am the 29th ... as I said - yer references fit into my memories - I miss X-Ray Burns so because we were in sink = music, tv stuff, drug experiences...... &c... Happy B-Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Thanks. This room used to be one of the bays of a 3-car garage/barn. We had somebody build out the room and then I installed the shelving. Soooooo many giant lag screws!
	11:42am ami ad: I can see the photo.
	11:42am Krys O.: @Ken from HP: I mentioned talking to myself yesterday on Pseu's comments board.
	11:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Just for fun, here's the other side: imgur.com... The weird thing is that I'm not comfortable calling this our library. It's seems sort of....I dunno...snooty?
	11:45am Krys O.: Thanks, morphe!!! You share a birthday with my brother-in-law. He turns 74. My sibs are in their 60s and 70s. I'm a caboose baby, youngest of five after a gap of seven years. That and having older parents helped give me historical perspective on culture and what not.
	11:47am Krys O.: You can call it 'Fred' if you want to. I labelled boxes 'library' when I moved my collection even though that just meant my living room.
	11:47am TomDash: alrighty, off to work...good one JA and happy bday non-dirty-Don!
	11:48am steveo: i don't know;some of that trumpet screeching in the last piece was absolutely filthy
	👻 11:49am adampsyche: this has been a nice show thank you
	11:50am Krys O.: Thanks, JA and everyone!
	11:50am Honeybear: @Krys - "sharing" - thanks - I'll try to work on that concept
	11:53am Rev. Turnip Druid: aieeeeee!!!!
	11:53am ooooohh: Caught you Spotifyin'

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from November 20, 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.)

	9:06am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Dirty. Hot.
	9:06am Cooh John: Good morning. Waiting for Abba to break out.

	9:08am Heidee: Ea, Blues Mandinga!
	9:09am terminalhipness: Hello Krys. The new white tee? Haven't gotten mine yet...
	9:11am Listener Bop Monroe: oh no he pushed the button...?!!!!
	👻 9:11am adampsyche: wake up little suzie
	9:11am Krys O.: Yup, the white tee.
	9:11am terminalhipness: Cool!
	9:12am DJ Guin: For a second there, I thought I had to Duck & Cover. "Do we really want Old Man Trump's finger on the button?"
	9:12am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @DJ Guin: For real!
	9:13am DJ Guin: @melinda -- belated 'High' to you
	9:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: I don't want that dude's finger anywhere.
	9:13am Krys O.: Luckily he is a short-fingered vulgarian.
	9:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Let's see...Apocalypse or Prison ...a POTUS is all about decision making...
	9:14am Listener Bop Monroe: as a vulgarian, i resemble that remark!
	9:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): And just when you think that Rudy at the Four Seasons can't be topped, there was yesterday...
	9:15am DJ Guin: Betcha Donnie Boy will try to smuggle the Football out of the WH and deliver to Comrade Putin.
	9:15am ami ad: smoove
	9:15am Listener Bop Monroe: was leaking Cordovan show polish down his ears.
	9:15am Listener Bop Monroe: shoe polish d'oh!
	9:17am DJ Guin: Any word on when Ghouliani will get back to chasing Tweety Bird and disappear from public life?
	👻 9:18am YETI BOB: @DJ Guin: Never gonna happen. He's going to have a cerebral hemmorage at one of these press conferences.
	👻 9:22am Handy Haversack: We hadn't gotten to the Kate reads Handy the Gothamist headlines part of the morning yet, so I had no idea what you all were talking about.
	9:23am DJ Guin: @YETI -- it's anyone's guess when Ghouliani or Trumpski will grab a baby and use it as a human shield. Four more years will become wholly possible as a result. The sheer ignorance and blind devotion to these scumbags and fascism astounds me. Okay. Well, not really.
	👻 9:23am YETI BOB: @HH: Don't know if you watch this sort of thing but Stephen Colbert had some great footage last night.
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: @HH: Rudy sweating constantly, ranting incoherently, re-enacting a scene from "My Cousin Vinnie", while his hair dye is dripping down both sides of his face.
	9:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have a question. What are all these "fleet" mentions in social media referring to?
	👻 9:24am YETI BOB: @HH: If it were satire, I'd call it heavy-handed, but it was freaking REAL
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: @Woods: A new thing that Twitter introduced, messages that disappear after 24 hours. As someone said "For when you want to say things that are too awful to stick around on Twitter!"
	9:25am DJ Guin: "Fleets work to address this by providing a space where the content disappears after 24 hours, while Fleets also can't be retweeted, liked or even replied to in public - people can only react to your Fleets via DMs. "
	👻 9:26am Handy Haversack: I don't, YB, not really. "Kate Reads the Headlines" is the only news program I can stomach.
	9:26am luka: BOB JAMS
	9:27am DJ Guin: Handy? "Cancer survivor Marcia Cross says she’s ‘big fan of the anus’" - Mrs. Handy
	9:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Ah, I guess like SnapChat. Good. Can be ignored then.
	👻 9:28am Handy Haversack: We're both Mx. Handy over here, DJG! And you can't see Uranus with the naked eye.
	9:29am melinda: It's fun to imagine the movies for these sounds. This is Morricone Island territory but with breakfast instead of dinner.
	👻 9:29am YETI BOB: @HH: You're probably better off that way. I am needing to detox a bit from the amount of news and late-night TV I've been watching.
	👻 9:30am YETI BOB: on a more happy topic: Is it too early to declare Sparkle Division "Album of the year"? Is there another candidate I'm overlooking?
	9:31am John Allen: not too soon, Sparkle Division is a Top 10
	9:33am DJ Guin: Happy Birthday Shout-Out to "Uncle" Joe Biden -- President Elect and Restorer of Decency! He turns 78 years young today! Anyone else playing hooky to go the Inauguration?
	9:33am steveo: hey good morning; my dear spouse is here and I suggested we put on the radio, it's John Allen, I said, and she said oh, sure, I don't mind John Allen. That's high praise! Also she pointed out that I'm wearing your shirt (the black Lambkin one).
	9:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Basinski's Lamentations is up there. Also, I found the Andrienne Lenker Instrumentals to be mucho-de-soothing-o.
	9:34am terminalhipness: @ YETI - Sparkle Division is cool. Luke Stewart "Exposure Quartet" is def top 10 for me.
	9:34am Andres: Morning John and all! I was thinking there was a connection but could not put my finger on Jan Hammer.
	9:35am DJ Guin: @steveo -- are you also wearing J.A's underwear? ;-)
	9:36am steveo: hahaha -- now there's a marathon premium
	9:36am Mark R: I liked Nicholas Jaar's album a lot.
	9:36am Mark R: Jim White and Marisa Anderson
	9:37am Mark R: Okkyung Lee's album was beautiful
	9:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @DJ Guin: Is there really going to be a for-real, people are present inauguration?
	9:37am DJ Guin: Woof-Moo could sell soiled Air Personalities underwear in Japan and fund the station for 10 years
	9:38am terminalhipness: @Woods - Just recently checked out 'Lamentations'. Really growing on me with every listen. Yet another artist I would not know about without JA show!
	👻 9:38am YETI BOB: @terminalhipness: I haven't heard that one, adding to the "must check out" list!
	9:39am Mark R: OK I'll stop now. Like all years, there are at least 10 or 20 albums that are classics that you'll still be listening to in 20 years. Woods, I'm thinking they're going to do a virtual inauguration. That guarantees you-know-who won't be there. Also, Biden doesn't need big crowds to validate his self-worth, unlike some presidents I know
	9:39am DJ Guin: @Woods - last I read, yes. But getting a hotel room is nigh impossible. Just to be there and show support and laugh at Trumpski's COVIDiots and White Supremacists' would be worth the trip.
	9:39am John Allen: note to self, edible jazz underwear marathon premium
	👻 9:40am YETI BOB: @MarkR: I'll check that out too - I like Marissa Anderson a lot. Honestly I'm probably not even remembering the records that came out in January/February, aka the "Before Times".
	9:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @terminalhipness For me it's been both this station and monthly readings of The Wire. There's SO much great stuff out there! Also a big an of Basinski's Disintegration Tapes.
	9:41am Mark R: Bob, I literally make a list for that very reason (yes, I'm insane.)
	9:42am Andres: Plenum - Are we talking HVAC or general assembly?
	👻 9:42am Handy Haversack: JA: Intimate Solos.
	9:42am Mark R: OMG Ella's Lost Berlin Tapes! I was just listening to that, it's amazing. OK now I'll really, actually stop.
	9:43am Deborah: It's 9:43!
	9:44am Krys O.: @WoodsONHNM: I made a video for one of Basinski's Disintegrations: youtu.be...
	9:44am TomDash: and now...it's 9:44!
	9:45am steveo: time keeps on slippin sliippin slippin
	👻 9:45am YETI BOB: @KrysO: I'll be watching that after this show!
	9:45am terminalhipness: @Woods - Haven't gotten the Wire lately. I was a big fan of 'Signal to Noise"... Gone now
	9:45am DJ Guin: @Woods - in lieu of In Person attendance, WMFU could setup a Zoom Meeting Watching Party with Blackjack and Hookers and replete with Drinking Games and Bong Hits. Tell Staysh I want partial credit.
	9:45am maestroso: Lamin! I remember his show, it was excellent!
	9:45am TomDash: morning Deborah, and fellow jazz cats. Looks Like I didn't miss Jan yet?
	9:46am Mark R: The Wire's occasional compilations are always great, too!
	9:47am terminalhipness: @YETI - me too! Thanks Krys!
	9:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: That looks super-cool. Will have to check it out after work. And hey, Olsiewicz? That sounds mighty Polish (this comment coming from me, Mr. Saleski). Ha.
	👻 9:50am YETI BOB: Jeff Parker's "Suite for Max Brown" was released on 24 Jan 2020 so that's a candate. Also "Chicago Underground Quartet" was a strong album this year. And maybe this "Exploding Star Orchestra". I'm sure I'm overlooking so many things!
	9:50am DJ Guin: ::yawn:: Time for Timer. I hanker for a hunk of cheese. "Tralfaz. Is that Polish? " "No. It's Spanish for 'Go F#ck yourself."
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That Jeff Parker is great. I love recordings that are hard to categorize.
	9:52am Mark R: I forgot that Jeff Parker album--loved it!
	9:52am DJ Guin: ttyl kids. got some reading to catch up on and a flu shot a bit later today.
	9:54am Mark R: Every January I try to give all my favorite albums of the previous year at least one more spin before I forget how great they are!
	9:56am ami ad: $5 gigs, not $10m deals: the story of US punk label Dischord Records. the guardian.com
	9:59am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I end up using my Bandcamp app to figure out what is recent. Sometimes I'll buy stuff late at night and then the next day scroll through stuff on the server and it's like "Where did this come from??"
	10:01am Mark R: Totally relate, Woods
	👻 10:01am Handy Haversack: Fingers crossed that Bandcamp also starts carrying used books. Since the Ebay revelations, I'm stuck waiting until we're out of town and in places where the real estate "market" will let used bookstores survive.
	10:03am terminalhipness: @YETI Luke Stewart “Exposure QUINTET” (I might as well get it right). So far as I can tell, first time together (on record )for Ken Vandermark and Ernest Dawkins…
	10:05am terminalhipness: @ami - that looks interesting. Thanks.
	10:05am john_NN_nn_n: morning everyone enjoying the show JA
	10:06am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Are things like The Strand and AbeBooks not an option?
	👻 10:06am YETI BOB: @terminal: Cool, thanks. I haven't really been keeping up with Vandermark, but the guy is a titan.
	10:08am terminalhipness: @Handy - Wait, what about eBay?
	10:09am Andres: On the tubes, check out the many Nardwuar interviews with Ian Mackaye. Good history there. Good guarded and playful back and forth.
	10:11am ami ad: Nardwuar,yes.
	10:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: GAH, stupid zoom meeting. Missed th'Cortesyphone. Must now punch self, with all due force, INNAFACE.
	10:14am Krys O.: @WoodsONHNM: Yup, my family is Polish with forays into other Slavic areas waaaaaay back in the day.
	👻 10:14am Handy Haversack: terminalhipness: Ebay execs approved of and directed a strategy of emotional terror against a couple in Massachusetts after they complained about their treatment as sellers. Disgusting stuff, totally typical of Silicon Valley. I know there's no clean consumption under capitalism, but there's dirty and then there's dirty (right, Don?). I'll find the links from Techtonic. Woods, yes ... with a but. They're not good for "hey, one penny plus shipping for some seventies sci-fi I may as well check out because that cover is trippy"!
	👻 10:17am Handy Haversack: terminalhipness: www.theguardian.com... And Mark Hurst's take: creativegood.com...
	👻 10:18am Barney Grubbs: @handy: Not quite the same, but book revue in Huntington has a thing where they’ll pick out 6 books for you for $40: www.bookrevue.com...
	10:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): So much of this disgusting business behavior comes down to our religion of quarterly results and maximizing shareholder value.
	10:19am terminalhipness: @Handy - thank you for the info.
	👻 10:22am Handy Haversack: Huh! Pretty cool, Barney Grubbs! Woods -- and at some point (well, that point is probably rather easily located in feudalism), the cognitive leap on the part of the owner class that the rest of us are not people: that is what allows the hallowed profits-above-all.
	👻 10:23am PortsmouthJay: Good Morning and happy Friday everyone! 🎶
	10:27am Neptune: This is a good one - what is the genre?
	👻 10:30am karlward: That one Panda Bear show that Mick Jagger attended really made an impact I guess. Love the new Stones sound.
	10:32am John Allen: after 60 years the Stones finally agreed to an outside producer....who came to work in footsie PJs
	👻 10:39am PortsmouthJay: Woods, Handy: I'm curious, I purchase music on Bandcamp each week and then it's uploaded to my Roon server, so I can play it through the stereo system. Is there a better way of organizing, or how do you organize all the digital purchases, or do you? Do you have a system? I feel like the digital only releases I forget about sometimes, whereas the physical media I order is accessible and played more often. Thoughts?
	10:39am Zetti: Cool set. Thanks.
	10:40am morphe': The Rolling Stones ??? original ????
	10:42am Neptune: Really nice set :)
	👻 10:42am YETI BOB: the sun is good.
	👻 10:42am karlward: I would love to hear an actual Panda Bear produced Rolling Stones track. Somehow I doubt that this ever happened.
	👻 10:42am Handy Haversack: PortsmouthJay, I'm probably not a great person to ask since I kind of feel the same. I just DL it all onto the computer into a single folder, and that folder is my VLC Media Library. I listen to it all through VLC. Yo, morph! How goes the reentry?
	10:47am morphe': We must ask Handy if BagPipe eats tomatoes or salso or??? My Beagle Beatlenose ate everything except jello - cat shit, grey soggy pizza crusts from the rain soaked 14th street gutter, veg ... no jello????
	👻 10:49am YETI BOB: I've got close to a terabyte of digital music sitting on a RAID array that I basically never play unless I have a reason to search for some very specific song. And a shelf of CDs that also mostly remain unplayed. Only LPs and WFMU get serious attention.
	👻 10:50am Handy Haversack: Bagpipe's willing to try, at least. He even gives pebbles an experimental chew if his path brings him near one on a walk. I hauled a muffin wrapper out of his mouth yesterday, which is much more pleasant than helping it get out the other end.
	👻 10:50am YETI BOB: My digital music library is very well organized though, neste folders for Artist/Album
	👻 10:50am YETI BOB: nested. i spent more time organizing it than i do playing it.
	👻 10:51am Handy Haversack: Yeah, mine is too, to that extent, YB. When extracting Bandcamp ZIP files, it's easy to change the hyphen in the file name into a backslash, which then extracts the album to the artist folder (in Windows).
	10:51am morphe': Handy ... yes .. so happy to be here .. missing Simon but ok on the phone - he is 9 and I bore him anyway!!!!! Saw TDK yesterday fo 1/2 hour ... gave him a TDK 60 from a Madrid dumpster ... waiting for the content analysis .. Maribel wants to meet ye again ... yer side or in GO??? I gave her Kate's CD ... I had it in Madrid....she just took it home... Till soon !!!!
	10:53am terminalhipness: So much more great music than I have actual time to listen to... I am okay with this problem.
	10:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @PortsmouthJay I just have a music folder on my iMac on which I'm running a server. I use an app on my phone to drive the receiver, which is a network-enabled Yamaha. I don't really love scrolling through the folders on my phone but have come to accept it.
	10:55am Ike: Gentlemen, your discussion clarifies why I prefer cats: 1) Less drooling 2) Softer and more fun to pet 3) Purring 4) Won't eat random stuff like muffin wrappers, though admittedly Toasty can smell yogurt from anywhere in the apt. and will try to steal it, but has no interest in other human foods except maybe meat occasionally
	👻 10:55am Handy Haversack: morph, this weekend is kind of screwed, but maybe next? Might be rainy, though.
	👻 10:56am YETI BOB: Ike: our little Sonja loves yogurt too. We just let her eat it (plain/unsweetened). Cheese too, but only tiny little bits.
	10:56am tim from champaign (now washington): JAzzman!
	👻 10:57am YETI BOB: and butter ... both cats lick the butter if we don't remember to cover the butter dish
	10:59am morphe': For after the show -------Just received an E missive : Melies' "Voyage a le Lune" Music: by David Short - Billi Brass Quintet
	11:00am tim from champaign (now washington): This is Von LMO?
	👻 11:00am Handy Haversack: Two of our cats will eat any human food they can get at. Nothing gets left out in this apartment. Voltron once broke all of our bowls. And Callipygian is down to maybe three teeth, so there's plenty of drooling, esp. when she shakes her head around because her extreme ear wax bothers her. So ... while there might be a little more dignity on the cat side, nothing is pure. Ripeness is all.
	11:05am TomDash: @tim - that was my thought on first glance too! Like minds. I'm feeling a hammer about to drop though, just saying...
	11:05am Ike: @Handy, those are excellent cat names. Any more?
	11:06am TomDash: thank. god.
	11:06am John Allen: Tom, yr uncanny
	11:07am TomDash: you taught me well...
	11:07am ami ad: smooze
	👻 11:07am Handy Haversack: Hammer Time! Ike, the third cat, Lulu, arrived from the bodega already named, but it suits her.
	👻 11:07am YETI BOB: moderncat.com has a list of People Foods you should NEVER Feed Your Cat, and another list of People Foods You CAN Feed Your Cat. Cheese made it on both lists.
	👻 11:08am YETI BOB: "Cat approved cheese choices include cottage cheese, Swiss, cheddar or gouda."
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): My CD collection is a total mess. Because it's well over 5k discs and lives half in corrugated cardboard boxes (ones still in jewel boxes) and half in banker's boxes (transferred to sleeves). I have half a mind to toss the whole lot out.
	11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): Man, that JAzz guitar smoothed out all the stress knots in my neck. Feelin melllll-o! Thanks, JA! @TomDash - you know it!
	👻 11:09am YETI BOB: (lower lactose content)
	👻 11:10am Handy Haversack: The modern cat embraces the richness of ambiguity, YB. Like Borges. The hound is about to take me on our walk. Hope to make it back before the end, but if not, I'll thank you now, JA, for another great Friday. steveo's partner was right! This show is unmindable! Be well, all. CATch youse soon.
	👻 11:10am YETI BOB: later Handy!
	👻 11:10am PortsmouthJay: @Woods -- I sold a ton to Bullmoose for store credit and then bought some vinyl. It saved me so much space.
	👻 11:11am YETI BOB: @Woods: I got rid of most of CDs ages ago, just kept the really important/irreplaceable ones. And all the WFMU premiums.
	11:11am terminalhipness: @Woods - I no longer feel alone, thank you.
	👻 11:12am YETI BOB: I had a sort of unstable period and was moving a lot, which inspired me to get rid of a lot of things.
	11:13am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: The count used to be closer to 8k. I "downsized." I may do that again. We shall see ( dang it, Zoom meeting in 3 minutes )
	11:13am terminalhipness: Discovered this Lemon Quartet back in the spring, when I was putting together "mask themed" playlist.
	👻 11:16am YETI BOB: I started seriously asking myself: "Am I ever going to play this again?" and not just "Is this collectible?". It was liberating. And if you get rid of 3/4 of your records (or books) and only keep the top 25%, then you are left with a really top-notch collection ... and some space on your shelf for new records.
	👻 11:17am YETI BOB: Yay, my homie Jeff Parker! Thanks JA!
	11:18am Krys O.: @Yeti Bob: I can relate. My most recent move to a smaller space with fewer closets to squirrel away boxes prompted me to cull many items. I donated quite a bit to WFMU and to the Vietnam Vets.
	👻 11:22am YETI BOB: Jeff Parker might win over Sparkle Division. Tough call, but fortunately nobody is really asking me to pick.
	👻 11:23am Ken From Hyde Park: Was it on a Pseu or Fabio chat board yesterday about talking to oneself? A comic strip today must have overhead it. www.shoecomics.com...
	👻 11:23am PortsmouthJay: Yes... culling the herd of many promo CDs and keeping essentials is great, the rest is digital and backed up, with a lot of vinyl but that's also essential these days for room, I went through a period of buying every Thrill Jockey and International Anthem on vinyl.. no room!
	👻 11:24am YETI BOB: @PJ: I was buying every IA release there for a while too. They are just sooo good.
	11:24am terminalhipness: YETI,Kyrs,Woods - Maybe there's hope for me yet. If I have to move all that stuff again, that will probably be the catalyst...
	👻 11:25am PortsmouthJay: @YETI - No doubt! Such a great label. I also wnet back to listen to Isotope recently. Remember that outfit? They opened for Tortoise one summer back in ... 98?
	11:32am morphe': Thanks JA and all .... til... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Krys - did you just have a B-Day ?? I feel, from yer post info stuff/references/knowledge we are in the same age range? I am '61 = born '61 - soon to be 59 and could care less!!!! Although the SS $$$$ at 62 will give me ever more spending power on nothing but food, beer, wine and travel = if travel will be allowed in the future ...
	11:32am Phillippe Bastille: Hey there
	11:33am Rev. Turnip Druid: YAAAASSSSSSSSS......
	11:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: I missed the announce bit: where's this version from? Not the take from Brown Rice...
	11:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Get rid of books?? Here's one (of two) walls in the room I'm working in --> imgur.com...
	11:38am Honeybear: "get rid of books"? - impossible
	11:39am Krys O.: Tomorrow is my birthday, morphe. I will have completed 57 years on this globe. Was born the day before JFK's assassination in 1963.
	11:40am morphe': Woods ... I have a modern Mac but cannot access the images you send?
	11:40am Krys O.: @Honey Bear: I didn't look at dispersing books, videos or music as getting rid of them. I permanently shared them.
	11:41am steveo: happy birthday Krys, if I don't see you tomorrow. that must have been wild for your parents the next day
	11:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @morphe': Hmmm...it's just a link to a post on imgur. Can anybody else see that photo?
	11:41am Krys O.: Nice shelves, Woods!
	11:42am morphe': Krys - I am the 29th ... as I said - yer references fit into my memories - I miss X-Ray Burns so because we were in sink = music, tv stuff, drug experiences...... &c... Happy B-Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Krys O: Thanks. This room used to be one of the bays of a 3-car garage/barn. We had somebody build out the room and then I installed the shelving. Soooooo many giant lag screws!
	11:42am ami ad: I can see the photo.
	11:42am Krys O.: @Ken from HP: I mentioned talking to myself yesterday on Pseu's comments board.
	11:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Just for fun, here's the other side: imgur.com... The weird thing is that I'm not comfortable calling this our library. It's seems sort of....I dunno...snooty?
	11:45am Krys O.: Thanks, morphe!!! You share a birthday with my brother-in-law. He turns 74. My sibs are in their 60s and 70s. I'm a caboose baby, youngest of five after a gap of seven years. That and having older parents helped give me historical perspective on culture and what not.
	11:47am Krys O.: You can call it 'Fred' if you want to. I labelled boxes 'library' when I moved my collection even though that just meant my living room.
	11:47am TomDash: alrighty, off to work...good one JA and happy bday non-dirty-Don!
	11:48am steveo: i don't know;some of that trumpet screeching in the last piece was absolutely filthy
	👻 11:49am adampsyche: this has been a nice show thank you
	11:50am Krys O.: Thanks, JA and everyone!
	11:50am Honeybear: @Krys - "sharing" - thanks - I'll try to work on that concept
	11:53am Rev. Turnip Druid: aieeeeee!!!!

	11:54am steveo: lol i thought the signal dropped and was pulling in long island or something
