WFMU: Bodega Pop with Gary Sullivan: Playlist from January 11, 2023

Listener comments!
	♥ 7:01pm Mxter Baba: hi, Gary! hey folx! so excited to hear the program tonight!
	♥ 7:02pm TDK60: Good evening, DJ Gary behind the bodega counter.
	7:03pm listener James from Westwood: Evening, Gary and all!
	♥ 7:04pm Gary: Howdy, Mxter Baba, TDK60, and James!
	♥ 7:05pm adamdoesit: Hi Gary and bodegans. I'm ready to have my mind blown by breathtaking, genre-busting music from the new Japanese underground. Also, a bag of flour tortillas, and a pack of the big Twizzlers. Arigato, habibi.
	7:06pm peter: hey Gary & co.. this should be cool!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:06pm Zipperhead7: Hi Gary and Bodegans! Shit, I just saw that Jeff Beck passed away. When I saw him a few years back, he just kind of fucked around with "tasty licks" all night. But his solo on Yardbirds’ "Shapes of Things" is unparalleled – such an avant-garde imagination (the whole break played on one string!), capped with that final brain-freezing blast of treble. And it’s only 30 seconds long. The audio equivalent of DMT and, imho, the greatest rock guitar solo ever. He seemed to work best within the constraints of the three-minute pop song, which he pushed against with the ferocious energy of a young Pete Townshend. Here's a great show from Fillmore West, 12/7/68. Listen to the one note at 34:49 that slips into screaming feedback. A portal into psychotic delorium! The whole show is worth a listen, even if it’s a cruddy audience recording: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 7:06pm Gary: Adam, Peter, and Zipper! Yeah, very sad news about Jeff Beck
	♥ 7:09pm TDK60: ↳ Zipperhead7 @7:06 Zipperhead7: JEFF BECK IS GONE. Wow. You are correct. 'Shapes of Things' is one of the most important songs of the 20th Century. Other songs with Jeff B. in the YaRdBiRDs are also extremely innovative. And later stuff he did too. One of my favorite lead guitarists.
	7:10pm headcleaner: nĭ hăo indeed - they were quite something, now weren't they
	♥ 7:11pm Gary: Headcleaner!
	7:11pm emily_w: Hey Gary and bodegans! Happy to be listening in after a while away from home/the show
	♥ 7:11pm Gary: Look at that! Emily's back!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:11pm Zipperhead7: I like the idea of a singer named "Phew"
	♥ 7:13pm Gary: ↳ Zipperhead7 @7:11 Do you know about Phew, Zipp?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:15pm WR: Hi Gary and Bodegans.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:15pm Zipperhead7: I don't. But I am definitely Phew-curious
	♥ 7:15pm Gary: WR!
	♥ 7:16pm Gary: ↳ Zipperhead7 @7:15 Phew started off as lead in the punk group Aunt Sally, then embarked on a long solo career that is still ongoing. Her first solo LP was made with members of Can. I saw her play in a church in Brooklyn a year or two pre-Covid, and it was mind-blowing. Electronics
	♥ 7:16pm probablyjohn: so rad, but that high-pitched squeal though
	♥ 7:17pm Gary: Probablyjohn! Yeah, haha
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:17pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Gary @7:16 Oh that is super-cool! Must check out!
	♥ 7:19pm Gary: ↳ Zipperhead7 @7:17 She's one of my favorite artists on the planet
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:19pm doctorjazz: Love this! Hi Gary, folks!
	♥ 7:19pm Gary: The Dr. of Jazz is in!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:21pm WR: ↳ Gary @7:19 And the Jazz element is out.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:34pm doctorjazz: Food's in the oven, can sit for about a half hour...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:35pm WR: Downtown Music Gallery handles sales distribution for Tzadik as well as being a creative music retail store. www.downtownmusicgallery.com
	♥ 7:37pm Gary: ↳ WR @7:35 Well, THAT explains the wall of their CDs, haha
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @7:35 They also do live shows in Doentown NYC (most at the store in Chinatown); last got there pre-pandemic (the week before the lockdown, in fact, Kurt Gottschalk was playing). (They do have an odd way of doing online ordering, though).
	♥ 7:42pm adamdoesit: ↳ WR @7:35 Never been. Another new-to-me place to look forward to visiting.
	♥ 7:43pm TDK60: ↳ adamdoesit @7:42 Likewise.
	♥ 7:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ TDK60 @7:43 Thanks for saying so. I feel way less unhip to be in your company.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:44pm WR: ↳ Song: "Q-Tip" by "Tetsu Inoue" Liking this. Based on the clicky stars it was played on WFMU a couple times in 2013-14.
	♥ 7:45pm Gary: It used to be on Bowery and now it's much further south, in Chinatown
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @7:42 I had wanted to go for a while, but that 1 time, the week before the COVID lockdown in Feb 2020, was the first and last time I got there. Hopefully will again soon...(it's a dangerous place if you're trying to cut down on record purchases, however...)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm Zipperhead7: This will be added to my jew's harp compilation -- a long-standing work in progress
	♥ 7:50pm Gary: ↳ Zipperhead7 @7:49 I want to hear that compilation!
	♥ 7:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @7:49 Yeah, for sure. File under: expensive pleasures.
	7:52pm rw: Good
	7:53pm rw: Afternoon!
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: RW!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:55pm WR: ↳ Song: "Ryufoispjekkossd" by "Haino Keiji & Yoshida Tatsuya" This is a really toe tapper.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:57pm Zipperhead7: ↳ WR @7:55 They sounded very agitated,well beyond the vexations of everyday life.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:00pm WR: ↳ Song: "Angler Fish" by "Ikue Mori" Ikue Mori was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2022.
	♥ 8:00pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Sei Getsu Tan (A Tale of Longing for the Moon)" b... "…a principled thing, meaning I was kind of an asshole about it." Heh.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:00pm Zipperhead7: Anyone who is a member of the Society of Super Awesomeness has my respect!
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: ↳ WR @8:00 Yes, thank you, WR
	8:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening ! This looks freaking great.
	♥ 8:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Eureka" by "Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble" darn, missed otomo!
	♥ 8:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Cable Has No Name" by "Agata" ichiro agata from melt banana?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:05pm WR: Downtown Music Gallery is a bodega for creative music. When I went there (have not been there since a year or two pre-pandemic) I try to be firm about my budget and the clerk was very understanding as I repeatedly recompiled my choices, adding / removing / asking for the updated subtotal / repeat. I think I will go there this Friday, I'm off from work.
	♥ 8:05pm Gary: RevRab and NGH!
	8:06pm headcleaner: My sense is that the golden age of bodegas (in general, not just in relation to music) crested around 2005
	♥ 8:07pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @8:05 "...repeatedly recompiled my choices, adding / removing / asking for the updated subtotal / repeat..." part of the reason my four-hour visits there would turn into six-hour visits...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:12pm WR: ↳ Gary @8:03 You're welcome. You are streaming and announcing, I'm just sitting here at my computer and listening and enjoy looking things up in Wikipedia. The musicians among the 2022 fellowship recipients were Mori, Tomeka Reid, and Marth Gonzalez. Ms Gonzalez is new to me.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:15pm Zipperhead7: ngh! That link you posted on Sara A's show re: Michele Bernstein was fascinating. She would be a great subject for a biogrphy and/or documentary. Here's the link for those who missed it: www.perfectduluthday.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Morning Song" by "Synapse" According to discogs, Aki Onda on electronics and Haco on vocal and "bird flutterings"
	8:18pm headcleaner: It's as if they (bodegas) had a certain aura to them, that is much fainter now (and they have also receded in number). And yet, that aura continues to shine brightly through this show
	♥ 8:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:15 yeah, i really want someone to do something about her life. She was so much more then just Guy Debord's wife (they were the same age), and she was more accomplished before he was known.... btw, if I catch up w/ my studies, i'm going to try to walk to the library saturday to get a library card so i can sign up for a kanopy account.
	♥ 8:23pm Gary: Kanopy!
	♥ 8:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "○" by "Afrirampo" my dear departed friend, dj firehorse once saw afrirampo live, and said, i'm going tour w/ afriampo! That summer (2003), he went w/ them to tour in Japan.
	♥ 8:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Gary @8:23 zipperhead's 'drop city' can be streamed there: www.imdb.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:27pm WR: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:15 AARRRRGGG. Thank you (and NGH) for the link. Another rabbit hole to consume hours of the few I have. Stimulating? Entertaining? Interesting? Yes. Time? I dunno.
	♥ 8:28pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:27 Nice!
	♥ 8:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sasatteru (Stabbing)" by "Jon" i haven't heard this album in years! (i have it somewhere)
	♥ 8:31pm TDK60: Pump organ. Fun. I've tried a few of different sizes.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @8:05 Here's the DMG newsletter (it has concerts coming up). I'll be at the Manhattan Winter Jazz Fest (multiple venues) Friday night.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:34pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sasatteru (Stabbing)" by "Jon" web / discog search is no easy for Jon, so sharing www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:36pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @8:34 i was just looking up a 7" for tom roe (wavefarm.org), and it took me remembering the title just to find his release... (so, jon, near impossible)
	♥ 8:37pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:36 Jon: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:39pm doctorjazz: www.downtownmusicgallery.com... (Said I was posting the DMG newsletter, then forgot to post it...)
	♥ 8:41pm northguineahills: ↳ headcleaner @8:06 yeah, 2005 is feels about right. my old bushwick bodega was awesome. according to my former partner, it was there as recently as 2020. when I was in town in 2021, it was gone 😭
	♥ 8:42pm northguineahills: @Gary: in the last set, i've seen all of those musicians live except Jon.
	♥ 8:43pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:42 Sweet!
	♥ 8:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Tenshi No Gijinka 7" by "Keiji Haino 灰野敬二" I once had a hard drive w/ 30+ keiji haino releases. sadly, it died (w/ many more jewels).
	8:46pm Dean: Saw Melt Banana at Al's Bar in LA, a terrific show. Saw Keiji Heino at Victo. Nothing special.
	8:47pm Dean: Kondo also played with Brotzmann's Chicago Tentet at Victo. Spectacular.
	♥ 8:48pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:46 Dean! Jealous, would love to see the -Banana!
	8:48pm rw: Downtown Music Gallery sounds amazing. I’m glad there’s nothing like that around here.
	8:49pm Dean: DMG is amazing, rw. For different reasons, so is Groove Yard up here near me. I affirmatively avoid going there for just this reason.
	8:49pm rw: Melt Banana at Al’s Bar? What year did they close?
	8:49pm Dean: 2002, I believe, the year after I departed Southern California, goddammit.
	8:50pm rw: Def jealous. That sounds amazing too!
	8:53pm Dean: Caught Ruins at Hemlock Tavern in SF with Weasel Walter.
	♥ 8:54pm TDK60: Lots of wild stuff tonight.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:59pm Zipperhead7: ↳ TDK60 @8:54 Yeah, pretty wiggy. When Ms. Zip occasionally complains about WFMU, I just tell her, "Now who else is gonna play these records?" And that seems to make a difference.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:00pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greets all, back from fast grocery shopping, about to put things into cast iron and eat. Enjoying the show.
	♥ 9:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:46 I've see Melt Banana 5 times live (1996-2001). Once, Jello Biafra was in Gainesville to give an academic lecture when Melt Banana was playing at the hardcore hole-in-the-wall club, and jello showed up and then did a few songs w/ them... my favorite MB merch i've seen on sale? MB panties (the american kind)
	♥ 9:05pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:53 Threemoons!
	9:07pm headcleaner: Fine stuff right now, Gary
	♥ 9:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cisko" by "Rovo" a set pf residencies if i remember correctly (back when i lived at Tonic)
	♥ 9:08pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Gary & all
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @9:07 "Residency" was indeed the word I was struggling to twist out of my brain, thank you
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: Ceola-C!
	♥ 9:10pm adamdoesit: Signing off for the evening. Thanks, Gary and bodegans. Hi coel!
	♥ 9:10pm northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @9:00 "...fast grocery shopping..." sounds like you didn't shop for a regimen of non-solid foods :)
	♥ 9:12pm Gary: Night, Adam!
	9:13pm Dean: Rovo's album with Steve Hillage's System 7 is fantastic.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:14pm Zipperhead7: Ah, nothing like a good raveup . . .
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:14pm chresti: Hi Gary bodega!
	♥ 9:15pm coelacanth∅: hi adam! bye adam!
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: The Chresti!
	♥ 9:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sphere Pt. 1" by "Merzbow" masami akita!
	9:30pm headcleaner: If it has a BBL tagged to it then that address must have existed in NYC at some point. That's just basic science
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:32pm doctorjazz: Hardly know any names of these artists, did really enjoy the show! Gotta take off now as well, thanks much!
	♥ 9:33pm Gary: Night, Dr. Jazz!
	♥ 9:33pm northguineahills: it's in st albans (queens)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:36pm Zipperhead7: Thanx, Gary! Gotta head out. Always a treat to wander through the endless bodega of delights
	♥ 9:36pm Gary: Night, Zip!
	♥ 9:37pm TDK60: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:14 }Sorry if off topic} Zipperhead7 @ 9:14- Speaking of "raveup." Again, RIP Jeff Beck. I wanted to recommend another Jeff Beck-in-Yardbirds tune that wasn't a hit but an album cut, 'What Do You Want' off the album 'Over, Under, Sideways, Down' from '66. Like 'Shapes of Things' it had a new-for-rock critical socio-political theme (before maybe only heard in folk). And the music arrangement was new, with light-years-ahead innovative guitar by Beck, especially the solo toward the end. I feel safe in saying nothing like that had been heard before.
	♥ 9:44pm TDK60: ..And the music tonight is bustingly good, Gary.
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: 15 minutes from now, join Sam Segal and If You Lose Your Horse for an episode they like to call "In 1959, the "Smiling Horse," as He Was Dubbed, Moved Center Stage" wfmu.org...
	9:55pm rw: Beautiful show tonight. Thank you Gary!!
	9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	♥ 9:57pm TDK60: Excellent presentation, engaging sounds tonight, DJ Gary. 'Suppose I'll be saddlin' up to go over and see what Sam has.
	♥ 9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Surfin' USA" by "Melt-Banana" this live melt banana album is tretastic! arigato gazaimasu, gary!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm WR: Thank you! Gary! Will be re-listening and commenting because I couldn't keep up.
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 12:28am WR: ↳ Song: "Charm Music Box" by "Mori Chieko" It took me until now to track down my photo to confirm it was students of Mori Chieko that I recorded playing her compositions in a street fair in Japan in 2017. phew.

	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:35pm WR: Downtown Music Gallery handles sales distribution for Tzadik as well as being a creative music retail store. www.downtownmusicgallery.com
	♥ 7:37pm Gary: ↳ WR @7:35 Well, THAT explains the wall of their CDs, haha
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @7:35 They also do live shows in Doentown NYC (most at the store in Chinatown); last got there pre-pandemic (the week before the lockdown, in fact, Kurt Gottschalk was playing). (They do have an odd way of doing online ordering, though).
	♥ 7:42pm adamdoesit: ↳ WR @7:35 Never been. Another new-to-me place to look forward to visiting.
	♥ 7:43pm TDK60: ↳ adamdoesit @7:42 Likewise.
	♥ 7:44pm adamdoesit: ↳ TDK60 @7:43 Thanks for saying so. I feel way less unhip to be in your company.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:44pm WR: ↳ Song: "Q-Tip" by "Tetsu Inoue" Liking this. Based on the clicky stars it was played on WFMU a couple times in 2013-14.
	♥ 7:45pm Gary: It used to be on Bowery and now it's much further south, in Chinatown
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm doctorjazz: ↳ adamdoesit @7:42 I had wanted to go for a while, but that 1 time, the week before the COVID lockdown in Feb 2020, was the first and last time I got there. Hopefully will again soon...(it's a dangerous place if you're trying to cut down on record purchases, however...)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:49pm Zipperhead7: This will be added to my jew's harp compilation -- a long-standing work in progress
	♥ 7:50pm Gary: ↳ Zipperhead7 @7:49 I want to hear that compilation!
	♥ 7:51pm adamdoesit: ↳ doctorjazz @7:49 Yeah, for sure. File under: expensive pleasures.
	7:52pm rw: Good
	7:53pm rw: Afternoon!
	♥ 7:53pm Gary: RW!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:55pm WR: ↳ Song: "Ryufoispjekkossd" by "Haino Keiji & Yoshida Tatsuya" This is a really toe tapper.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 7:57pm Zipperhead7: ↳ WR @7:55 They sounded very agitated,well beyond the vexations of everyday life.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:00pm WR: ↳ Song: "Angler Fish" by "Ikue Mori" Ikue Mori was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2022.
	♥ 8:00pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Sei Getsu Tan (A Tale of Longing for the Moon)" b... "…a principled thing, meaning I was kind of an asshole about it." Heh.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:00pm Zipperhead7: Anyone who is a member of the Society of Super Awesomeness has my respect!
	♥ 8:03pm Gary: ↳ WR @8:00 Yes, thank you, WR
	8:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening ! This looks freaking great.
	♥ 8:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Eureka" by "Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble" darn, missed otomo!
	♥ 8:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Cable Has No Name" by "Agata" ichiro agata from melt banana?
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:05pm WR: Downtown Music Gallery is a bodega for creative music. When I went there (have not been there since a year or two pre-pandemic) I try to be firm about my budget and the clerk was very understanding as I repeatedly recompiled my choices, adding / removing / asking for the updated subtotal / repeat. I think I will go there this Friday, I'm off from work.
	♥ 8:05pm Gary: RevRab and NGH!
	8:06pm headcleaner: My sense is that the golden age of bodegas (in general, not just in relation to music) crested around 2005
	♥ 8:07pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @8:05 "...repeatedly recompiled my choices, adding / removing / asking for the updated subtotal / repeat..." part of the reason my four-hour visits there would turn into six-hour visits...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:12pm WR: ↳ Gary @8:03 You're welcome. You are streaming and announcing, I'm just sitting here at my computer and listening and enjoy looking things up in Wikipedia. The musicians among the 2022 fellowship recipients were Mori, Tomeka Reid, and Marth Gonzalez. Ms Gonzalez is new to me.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:15pm Zipperhead7: ngh! That link you posted on Sara A's show re: Michele Bernstein was fascinating. She would be a great subject for a biogrphy and/or documentary. Here's the link for those who missed it: www.perfectduluthday.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Morning Song" by "Synapse" According to discogs, Aki Onda on electronics and Haco on vocal and "bird flutterings"
	8:18pm headcleaner: It's as if they (bodegas) had a certain aura to them, that is much fainter now (and they have also receded in number). And yet, that aura continues to shine brightly through this show
	♥ 8:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:15 yeah, i really want someone to do something about her life. She was so much more then just Guy Debord's wife (they were the same age), and she was more accomplished before he was known.... btw, if I catch up w/ my studies, i'm going to try to walk to the library saturday to get a library card so i can sign up for a kanopy account.
	♥ 8:23pm Gary: Kanopy!
	♥ 8:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "○" by "Afrirampo" my dear departed friend, dj firehorse once saw afrirampo live, and said, i'm going tour w/ afriampo! That summer (2003), he went w/ them to tour in Japan.
	♥ 8:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Gary @8:23 zipperhead's 'drop city' can be streamed there: www.imdb.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:27pm WR: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:15 AARRRRGGG. Thank you (and NGH) for the link. Another rabbit hole to consume hours of the few I have. Stimulating? Entertaining? Interesting? Yes. Time? I dunno.
	♥ 8:28pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:27 Nice!
	♥ 8:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sasatteru (Stabbing)" by "Jon" i haven't heard this album in years! (i have it somewhere)
	♥ 8:31pm TDK60: Pump organ. Fun. I've tried a few of different sizes.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:32pm doctorjazz: ↳ WR @8:05 Here's the DMG newsletter (it has concerts coming up). I'll be at the Manhattan Winter Jazz Fest (multiple venues) Friday night.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:34pm WR: ↳ Song: "Sasatteru (Stabbing)" by "Jon" web / discog search is no easy for Jon, so sharing www.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:36pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @8:34 i was just looking up a 7" for tom roe (wavefarm.org), and it took me remembering the title just to find his release... (so, jon, near impossible)
	♥ 8:37pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:36 Jon: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:39pm doctorjazz: www.downtownmusicgallery.com... (Said I was posting the DMG newsletter, then forgot to post it...)
	♥ 8:41pm northguineahills: ↳ headcleaner @8:06 yeah, 2005 is feels about right. my old bushwick bodega was awesome. according to my former partner, it was there as recently as 2020. when I was in town in 2021, it was gone 😭
	♥ 8:42pm northguineahills: @Gary: in the last set, i've seen all of those musicians live except Jon.
	♥ 8:43pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @8:42 Sweet!
	♥ 8:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Tenshi No Gijinka 7" by "Keiji Haino 灰野敬二" I once had a hard drive w/ 30+ keiji haino releases. sadly, it died (w/ many more jewels).
	8:46pm Dean: Saw Melt Banana at Al's Bar in LA, a terrific show. Saw Keiji Heino at Victo. Nothing special.
	8:47pm Dean: Kondo also played with Brotzmann's Chicago Tentet at Victo. Spectacular.
	♥ 8:48pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:46 Dean! Jealous, would love to see the -Banana!
	8:48pm rw: Downtown Music Gallery sounds amazing. I’m glad there’s nothing like that around here.
	8:49pm Dean: DMG is amazing, rw. For different reasons, so is Groove Yard up here near me. I affirmatively avoid going there for just this reason.
	8:49pm rw: Melt Banana at Al’s Bar? What year did they close?
	8:49pm Dean: 2002, I believe, the year after I departed Southern California, goddammit.
	8:50pm rw: Def jealous. That sounds amazing too!
	8:53pm Dean: Caught Ruins at Hemlock Tavern in SF with Weasel Walter.
	♥ 8:54pm TDK60: Lots of wild stuff tonight.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 8:59pm Zipperhead7: ↳ TDK60 @8:54 Yeah, pretty wiggy. When Ms. Zip occasionally complains about WFMU, I just tell her, "Now who else is gonna play these records?" And that seems to make a difference.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:00pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greets all, back from fast grocery shopping, about to put things into cast iron and eat. Enjoying the show.
	♥ 9:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:46 I've see Melt Banana 5 times live (1996-2001). Once, Jello Biafra was in Gainesville to give an academic lecture when Melt Banana was playing at the hardcore hole-in-the-wall club, and jello showed up and then did a few songs w/ them... my favorite MB merch i've seen on sale? MB panties (the american kind)
	♥ 9:05pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:53 Threemoons!
	9:07pm headcleaner: Fine stuff right now, Gary
	♥ 9:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cisko" by "Rovo" a set pf residencies if i remember correctly (back when i lived at Tonic)
	♥ 9:08pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Gary & all
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: ↳ northguineahills @9:07 "Residency" was indeed the word I was struggling to twist out of my brain, thank you
	♥ 9:08pm Gary: Ceola-C!
	♥ 9:10pm adamdoesit: Signing off for the evening. Thanks, Gary and bodegans. Hi coel!
	♥ 9:10pm northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @9:00 "...fast grocery shopping..." sounds like you didn't shop for a regimen of non-solid foods :)
	♥ 9:12pm Gary: Night, Adam!
	9:13pm Dean: Rovo's album with Steve Hillage's System 7 is fantastic.
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:14pm Zipperhead7: Ah, nothing like a good raveup . . .
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:14pm chresti: Hi Gary bodega!
	♥ 9:15pm coelacanth∅: hi adam! bye adam!
	♥ 9:18pm Gary: The Chresti!
	♥ 9:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Sphere Pt. 1" by "Merzbow" masami akita!
	9:30pm headcleaner: If it has a BBL tagged to it then that address must have existed in NYC at some point. That's just basic science
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:32pm doctorjazz: Hardly know any names of these artists, did really enjoy the show! Gotta take off now as well, thanks much!
	♥ 9:33pm Gary: Night, Dr. Jazz!
	♥ 9:33pm northguineahills: it's in st albans (queens)
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:36pm Zipperhead7: Thanx, Gary! Gotta head out. Always a treat to wander through the endless bodega of delights
	♥ 9:36pm Gary: Night, Zip!
	♥ 9:37pm TDK60: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:14 }Sorry if off topic} Zipperhead7 @ 9:14- Speaking of "raveup." Again, RIP Jeff Beck. I wanted to recommend another Jeff Beck-in-Yardbirds tune that wasn't a hit but an album cut, 'What Do You Want' off the album 'Over, Under, Sideways, Down' from '66. Like 'Shapes of Things' it had a new-for-rock critical socio-political theme (before maybe only heard in folk). And the music arrangement was new, with light-years-ahead innovative guitar by Beck, especially the solo toward the end. I feel safe in saying nothing like that had been heard before.
	♥ 9:44pm TDK60: ..And the music tonight is bustingly good, Gary.
	♥ 9:45pm Gary: 15 minutes from now, join Sam Segal and If You Lose Your Horse for an episode they like to call "In 1959, the "Smiling Horse," as He Was Dubbed, Moved Center Stage" wfmu.org...
	9:55pm rw: Beautiful show tonight. Thank you Gary!!
	9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	♥ 9:57pm TDK60: Excellent presentation, engaging sounds tonight, DJ Gary. 'Suppose I'll be saddlin' up to go over and see what Sam has.
	♥ 9:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Surfin' USA" by "Melt-Banana" this live melt banana album is tretastic! arigato gazaimasu, gary!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 9:58pm WR: Thank you! Gary! Will be re-listening and commenting because I couldn't keep up.
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary!
	♥ 10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!
	🇰🇷 ♥ 12:28am WR: ↳ Song: "Charm Music Box" by "Mori Chieko" It took me until now to track down my photo to confirm it was students of Mori Chieko that I recorded playing her compositions in a street fair in Japan in 2017. phew.
