	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: C'est vrais, le monde est à nous!
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Alex from Media: Hi Mike and Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm doctorjazz: Hi Mike, Streamers!
	♥ 10:03pm Mike Lupica: YO TEAM.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Mike and Alex and docjazz!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike, it was fabulous seeing you last week, even though we all barged into your mic break. Haha. Holy cow, was it really just a week ago?!?
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Alex from Media: Just parachuted in from another stream. And a Mike Lupica story was told!
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:03 HI Wendy! (It was very hard to type those 2 words, Laila Puppy kept trying to jump on the laptop...)
	♥ 10:05pm Mike Lupica: Haha, likewise! Mothership makes it seems like we've never left. Sorta like the hotel in the Shining, but with a nicer staff.
	♥ 10:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:05 Marty talkin' smack about me again?
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @10:05 Aww, how is Laila doing? Did you know today is National Puppy Day? I bet Laila knows.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Alex from Media: Commie Francis had a German pronunciation story.
	♥ 10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:06 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm Alex from Media: Am I allowed to talk about other streams? Anyway she said to ask about something, but my brain fried out trying to get english and german straight at the same time and by the time I had hit reset the information was wiped.
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 Haha, true! Is there a SnoCat somewhere in the Mothership? I could use it up here right now. Last time I checked, the snow was almost to the top of my car's tires, and my plow guy is out sick this season. So yeah, my house is also like the hotel in the Shining, I guess. Lemme head down to the bar and see what's happening...
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:08 We try to keep it friendly between streams and DJs here, so as long as you're not saying anything mean, I think it's okay.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 They did post pics from the wedding on their FB so I figure things are friendly.
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Alex from Media: @ Mike, did you plan that poesy?
	♥ 10:13pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:12 I am a student of Mr. Magic and I heart radio catchphrases!
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:13 Mr. Magic? Hey you! Heyyy you!
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm doctorjazz: ↳ Alex from Media @10:06 I didn't know-Laila's already keeping secrets from me...(must be getting into adolescence)
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ doctorjazz @10:15 Hey DR J! Forwarding that to Wendy now.
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Alex from Media @10:16 Oops, so hard to type with a puppy trying to help...
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "One Of These Days" by "Pink Floyd" Cranking up the volume now...
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One Of These Days" by "Pink Floyd" Meddle is one of my favorite albums.
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @10:18 <3
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Listener Christine: Oh fun. Sounding good, Mike!
	🥁 ♥ 10:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One Of These Days" by "Pink Floyd" My grandmother once commented this sounded like a tarantella.
	♥ 10:23pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @10:20 Welcome Christine! Thanks for finding your way to the HWM!
	♥ 10:23pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:22 Totally fair.
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Listener Christine: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:23 Thanks! How are things under the twinkling lights of the Starlite Lounge? Evening, all 👋
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Do it Right" by "Homeboy Sandman" OMG, this song's chorus is the story of me dating. Oy gevalt.
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Alex from Media: Hi Listener Christine!
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Christine @10:27 Hello, Listener Christine!
	♥ 10:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @10:27 "Same as it ever was, same as it ever was", as the song goes...
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "I've Got Feelings Too" by "Power Supply" Like the tune, but that tiger gif is making me cross-eyed.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "Black Box Recorder" <Elaine style> Get OUT!
	♥ 10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:36 NEVER LOOK INTO THE EYES OF A TIGER GIF
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Listener Christine: I am getting hypnotized with that .GIF
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "Black Box Recorder" You got any Anika versions of this?
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "That's the Way of the World" by "Charles Stepney" Cool cover!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "That's the Way of the World" by "Charles Stepney" This is awesome. I've never heard of Charles Stepney. Reissue?
	♥ 10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:40 Yep! Chicago producer, worked with lots of amazing folks in the late 60s and 70s.
	10:45pm Dean: I call bullshit. It takes no effort to hate.
	10:47pm Dean: I wish they were obligated to sound like Skyhooks.
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm Alex from Media: On covers of hard to tolerate tunes from that era. There seem to be a lot of MacArthur Park covers. Not sure what's to mine there after Richard Harris.
	🥁 ♥ 10:49pm Listener Christine: Reduce reuse recycle. That's the way to go! ♻️
	🥁 ♥ 10:50pm coelacanth∅: freak.
	10:51pm Dean: Maybe the only Cale recording I enjoy?
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Alex from Media: You got the Phantasm chair.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:50 Hey coelacanth∅! I always have to copy paste your moniker due to the symbol.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm coelacanth∅: a'right -been tuned-in but have to go to work now. Thanks Mike yes kiss sucks. sucked when i was little, kept sucking. music for children -who don't know music.
	♥ 10:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:51 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm coelacanth∅: hey Alex! gotta go! tchau
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Ike: Hello! I just started proofreading a very boring document, so I'm glad this show is on to keep me company.
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Ike!
	♥ 10:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @10:53 Right on, Ike. We'll keep you awake and focused.
	♥ 10:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:55 With my exceptionally scratchy Feelies record.
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Listener Christine: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:56 Is that a letter from a Feelie?
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Slipping into Something" by "The Feelies" A letter from Stan! He's such a sweet man. This is maybe in my Top Three Feelies songs. But I've never heard this version. It sounds slightly different from the one on "Good Earth," but I might just be imagining things.
	10:57pm Erik abides VT: Mercenaries (Ready for War) by John Cale (7") = holy cow 🐮 - this is a stunner ! And i only vaguely recall it ! If I may ask: what vintage violence was that song recorded ? (Guessing mid to late 70s). Would anybody know of hand if it’s been made available via a 💿 CD reissue bonus track or sumpin edition ?!
	♥ 10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @10:56 Yep! His response to the dorky fanboy letter I sent him in the 80s! It always falls out of this record when I play it, so I decided to just post it on the playlist.
	♥ 10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik abides VT @10:57 Erik, the single is from 1980... not sure if it's on any CD comps, but it is indeed a scorcher!
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Listener Christine: What a great memento.
	🥁 ♥ 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Erik abides VT @10:57 Hey Erik! I have the "Vintage Violence" CD reissue and "Mercenaries" is not a bonus track on it. But, maybe later reissues might include it. I dunno. Discogs will tell you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:02pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Football" by "Youth Lagoon" sneaky lyrics.
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm Ike: For just a second, I thought you guys were talking about gas mask Stan.
	♥ 11:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @11:03 Ha! Fortunately, this is the internet, where Stan's gas mask is legal to talk about. (Even if we weren't.)
	♥ 11:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Nina Olen Palasina" by "Risto" I am and remain a huge fan of songs with little kids all singing in unison. See also: "Big A, Little A" by Crass.
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Doug Schulkind: What's this I hear about a hotwired manatee?
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Borderline" by "Thin Lizzy" THIN LIZZY!!! \m/
	🥁 ♥ 11:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:07 Also, "People Ain't No Good" by The Cramps features children singing in unison.
	♥ 11:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:08 Shhh!!! I thought we agreed not to let the ASPCA know about that!
	11:11pm Erik abides VT: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:01 Oh haha, just my failed attempt at record collector geek humor. Mercenaries = violence, etc (wah-wah). Seems like it would be around the great “animal justice” ep that included his utter epic masterpiece “Hedda Gabler”! (which i believe was added to the “sabotage alive” cd reissue -that I’ve never found)😕. Perhaps they can be found as extras on that island 3Lps on 2CDs edition- I will look Discogs. Thank you for playing it!
	11:17pm Dean: I'm taking my kids, 13 and 18, to a Zeke show in Sacramento in May. One week later they'll play a joint up the street from me in Berkeley, but kids aren't allowed.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm Listener Christine: 💯 🤖 th' Rammellzee
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm Alex from Media: Maybe Terry Jacks could cover Black Sabbath.
	11:27pm Erik abides VT: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:01 Hiya Wendo! 2 strikes I’m almost out. 😏. I’m not yet at my Discogs looking-up computer/music/area. Btw: what amount of snow do you have down your way?! We are literally buried hear! ‘Guts’ (Cale) to be 24” inches, if not 20” inches and thanks that it just stopped snowing. Geeesh - welcome to Spring! Sigh 🤷‍♂️ (when not on laptop, I seem to have a delay with seeing the next comment notes …🙄). -so apologies.
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Erik abides VT @11:27 Hey Erik! We have a metric fuck-ton of snow down here. Earlier in the comments I was requesting a SnoCat. haha. A few hours ago I looked out the window and noticed the snow was up to the top of my car tires. Yeah, springtime in Vermont will do this sorta thing! This snow storm is for everyone who was complaining we had no winter in Vermont. haha I'm thankful I had a PowerWall installed in December. If we lose juice from the snow being so heavy and pulling down lines, I'll still have power. Whew!
	🥁 ♥ 11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Obscene & Pornographic Art" by "Bongwater" It's Bongwater week on The Drummer Stream! I played their cover of "The Porpoise Song" on Monday. The 7" was conveniently placed in The Old Bin at the Mothership.
	♥ 11:35pm Mike Lupica: Bongwater Week > Infrastructure Week
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:35 Totally! Also, more songs should have in the chorus the line, "I ain't wearin' any underwear!" That never fails to crack me up. I might still be 10 years old.
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm Alex from Media: Kids speaking proper English are cute no matter what they say.
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm Listener Christine: Yasssss....Frendz!
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Speaking of being 10 years old and laughing at inappropriate things... that last track made me laugh pretty much the entire way through.
	11:39pm Dean: g-i-r-l fren
	♥ 11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @11:38 LET ME TELL YOU 'BOUT MAH FRENZ
	♥ 11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:38 Same!
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm Listener Christine: Mah frenz < one hand
	♥ 11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @11:39 Hahaha!
	11:40pm Erik abides VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:58 Dang - we keep wanting to add that for our safety. we don’t even have a fireplace or woodstove if our electric⚡️power goes out! Clarification: is a “powerwall” similar to an outdoor backup “genrator”? We rarely lose power hear in “the valley” as they oddly label us. Thank goodness 😅
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "You Are my Destiny" by "Paul Anka" I can never think of this song without thinking about the scene in "Young Frankenstein" where Gene Wilder is having that nightmare and he's rolling around in bed yelling, "Destiny! Destiny! No escaping! That's for me!"
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Ike: ↳ Song: "You Are my Destiny" by "Paul Anka" I'd capitalize "My" here. Oops, I can't stop editing.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:43 hahaha! You beat the voice in the back of my head that ruins everything to the punch.
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Erik abides VT @11:40 Erik, I also have no other heat source but my oil furnace (with an electric ignition and blower). We RARELY lose power in the village, but last March when we had that intense storm with sub-zero temps and 45 mph winds, I did lose power for 11 hours and it was VERY rough in this old house on the river. With climate-disaster, we should expect more of the same. Yes, the PowerWall is a storage battery that lives in the basement, between the grid and my breaker-box. It keeps itself charged and automatically switches should the grid go down. Green Mtn Power has a good deal. Costs me $45 per month for 10 years, paid in my electric bill. They paid for the installation.
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:48 How long would it last before running out of power?
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:45 Lines from "Young Frankenstein" often float around in my head. They have so many uses! Here's a fun story. Many years ago at NYC's Film Forum they showed the original "Frankenstein," dir. by James Whale. During the scene where Fritz (that movie's Igor) goes to the lab to get the brain, gets scared, drops the jar, and then goes to pick up the next one, someone in the audience yelled, "ABBY NORMAL!" and every single person in the theater laughed so hard we fell outta our seats. A classic movie-theater moment!
	11:52pm Erik abides VT: @Mike&Wendy! My freakin’ mobile phone keeps mixing up my intended message receiver! Thats twice now (Wendy got Mike’s comment & then Mike got Wendy’s) oh technology😳🫣 you’re failing me!😶‍🌫️🫤
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:52 I work in a lab with a brain bank. (Yes a bank of frozen brains that have been donated to science). Lets just say Young Frankenstein looms large. I also like Insane in the Membrane in the headphones while I dissect them.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:50 It all depends. My doctor said she and her family kept their use low and their battery lasted for days. PowerWall comes with an app where you can track your usage any time (even right now) to see which appliances draw the most power, so you can plan accordingly. The app also tells you when you've gone off-grid, and how much juice you have left. It's pretty damn cool. In my opinion, better than a generator, which is loud and I'd have to handle fuel.
	♥ 11:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:55 You must hate when people make Abbie Normal jokes. (Says guy who was about to make "Abbie Normal" joke.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "You Don't Love Me (No No No)" by "Dawn Penn" I have a stream version of Sister Nancy version, but it cuts out before it end. I like the horns.
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:55 WOW! You have an awesome job! I often sing that song to my dear friend Elaine. "Insane in the Elaine! She's Elaine, got no brain!" It's good she knows I love her. :-D
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 Nice! Love Sister Nancy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:57pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:56 Our favorite joke around the lab. Sorry to disappoint. But if it tickles your funny bone, the assistant pathologist is really named Igor.
	♥ 11:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:57 Ha!
	🥁 ♥ 11:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:57 SHUT UP!!! hahahaha, this totally made my day. Thank you, Alex! So, your job is to dissect human brains? That is so cool.
	12:02am Erik abides VT: ↳ Song: "The Perfect Man" by "Dory Previn" Thanks to yall at WFMU I have become newly introduced to Dory over the last year+. I was stunned to have never been turned onto her albums until now! Her psychotherapy motifs are So up my ally! I just found a decent $5.Lp copy of her 1970 album. (smelled a lil musty - but the content sure ain’t!). I gotta find all of em on CD reissues. As well as those fairly recent cd reissues of vintage Bridgette Fontaine.
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:58 It is part of my job. I use cultured neurons to mimic neurodegenerative disease. If your purify abnormal proteins from brain and add it to the cells you can reproduce aspects of the disease. I then look for molecules which stop the process. TMI link www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	🥁 ♥ 12:04am Listener Christine: I got some schmaltz on my toe. That's what I get for dipping it.
	🥁 ♥ 12:05am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @12:03 That is RAD! I love that you're working on research to stop Alzheimer's et al. You are doing a mitzvah every time you clock in. <3
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am Listener Christine: ↳ Alex from Media @12:03 What cool and important work, Alex.
	12:08am rw: Howdy! Is this seat taken?
	🥁 ♥ 12:08am Alex from Media: Why is it that I picture Dennis Hopper huffing off a gas cylinder in the corner of the Starlight lounge?
	♥ 12:09am Mike Lupica: ↳ rw @12:08 By YOU! Welcome!
	♥ 12:09am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:08 Because this is a classy place, Alex!
	12:10am rw: Thanks! Driving this seat across town. Thanks for the music and company!
	🥁 ♥ 12:11am Alex from Media: ↳ Listener Christine @12:07 Cheers!
	12:11am Erik abides VT: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:48 HolyCow🐮! -that sounds like THE perfect solution for us! I had never heard of that simple sounding system solution. We’ve always balked at the gas powered outdoor generator. (I hear they can fail without quite a bit of maintenance upkeep). So super thank uze! Ps: have GMP as well. Solar panels were prohibitive & etc etc. I agree that we are gonna have more of these dramatic weather events! We already have been for 10 years already!
	♥ 12:11am tom tom the pipers son: hello all...
	🥁 ♥ 12:12am Alex from Media: Hey Tom Tom!
	♥ 12:12am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:11 Welcome Tom!
	🥁 ♥ 12:14am Alex from Media: So I actually came to this show with a question for music industry folks. I came across the term eggpunk earlier today. Following up I came across all of these other classifications, Kittencore even! <snagglepuss voice> Is this a thing?
	♥ 12:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:12 hi mike hi alex ...i'm very impressed with your work, but i have to ask was there some unpleasant business with animal testing when you were in school, roomed with a biology student i college and it did a job on him psychologically
	🥁 ♥ 12:17am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:15 I've always been troubled by animal testing. Can't do it. I work with cells.
	♥ 12:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:17 ah, good for you...
	♥ 12:17am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:14 I have heard of eggpunk, but I am in the dark as to what it actually means. I have put out a call to someone who does know and they may reply here if they're still awake!
	🥁 ♥ 12:19am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 When I found all of the terms it seemed like it was getting parsed a little too fine. Almost a genre for every band.
	♥ 12:20am tom tom the pipers son: Egg punk. Egg punk is a mostly internet-based genre that started in Northwest Indiana, influenced by Devo and a hatred for the us vs them mentality of the emerging "chain punk" bands. Egg punk is satirical, danceable, energetic, and deeply cynical of the edgy "hardcore and serious" approach to music.
	🥁 ♥ 12:20am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:17 However, I do make mutant cells and I do the "It's alive" rant from the old James Whale Frankenstein every time.
	🥁 ♥ 12:21am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:20 Thanks Tom.
	♥ 12:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:20 ha ha!!!... is that in frankenstein, or bride of, i like bride of more..
	♥ 12:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:20 but what is chain punk, i'm still not sure what egg punk is but the reference to devo is helpful
	12:24am Commie Francis: Ok hi here I am. Egg punk started as an Internet joke, in 2017 someone made a chart that listed various bands on a scale from chain punk (tough aggressive punk) to egg punk (more synthy goofy experimental punk)
	12:25am Commie Francis: Chain punk never took off as an actual subgenre but egg punk did
	🥁 ♥ 12:25am Alex from Media: ↳ Commie Francis @12:24 Hi Commie Francis. It was on your show that this got started.
	♥ 12:26am Mike Lupica: ↳ Commie Francis @12:24 Amazing. The world is so much bigger than I ever thought.
	🥁 ♥ 12:26am Listener Christine: ↳ Commie Francis @12:25 Cheers, thanks Commie!
	12:27am Erik abides VT: Wait ..@Mike: wasn’t there a song squeezing inbetween Squeeze & Ashe Boshle ? (some Asian Calabash / small faces ‘Pussycat’ version thingy?!)
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "A Cosmic Telephone Call" by "Kali Bahlu" What I like most about your show is that "anything that can happen will happen, and all at observable frequencies"
	12:29am Commie Francis: Before egg punk was called egg punk I personally called it lumpy and the dumpers type bands. That was a band from NYC and their associated label is lumpy records. I don't know if that's where egg punk started but that was when I was first aware of it. Some people call similar stuff zolo. You're welcome everyone! Literally pulled over to post this because mike asked. I'll be back later maybe! cf@wprb.com if you have more questions haha
	♥ 12:30am Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik abides VT @12:27 Maybe? That wouldn't be the first time tonight I suspected that something mysteriously evaporated from my playlist, but unfortunately, I have no way of checking/verifying until the archive gets posted. I guess we'll all find out together!
	♥ 12:30am Mike Lupica: ↳ Commie Francis @12:29 COMMIE ALWAYS KNOWS.
	🥁 ♥ 12:31am Wendy del Formaggio: It's time for me to get ready for bed now. Thanks, Mike! Good night, everyone!
	♥ 12:31am Mike Lupica: Bye Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 12:32am Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:31 Catch your show tomorrow Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 12:32am Listener Christine: Goodnight, Wendy 🌛
	🥁 ♥ 12:33am Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @12:32 By tomorrow I mean Monday
	♥ 12:33am tom tom the pipers son: 'nite wendy...
	12:35am Erik abides VT: ↳ Alex from Media @11:57 When you have Igor leading the way - so you say: “was this way” and hunch and limp along !? Heh 😈 heh.
	12:37am Erik abides VT: Argh ! Dang autocorrect ruined it ! “WALK this way” ! 🙄
	🥁 ♥ 12:39am Alex from Media: ↳ Erik abides VT @12:37 I got it and yes we get a lot of mileage out of Young Frankenstein in the lab.
	♥ 12:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:39 is there a female researcher who can do madeline kahn's " oh sweet mystery of life, at last i've found you..."
	🥁 ♥ 12:45am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 Never made that happen. But there was this one time that a female scientist started in like Terry Garr about how we have intellectual discussions. And she didnt know the movie.
	♥ 12:45am Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik abides VT @12:27 I think I just fixed this!
	♥ 12:45am Mike Lupica: I nominate "Feminazgul" as the best band name, ever.
	🥁 ♥ 12:47am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:45 Sounds like a Babylonian king.
	🥁 ♥ 12:47am Listener Christine: You gotta appreciate a good portmanteau.
	♥ 12:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:45 i guess a science lab is a funny place for having life imitate art
	🥁 ♥ 12:48am Alex from Media: ↳ Listener Christine @12:47 Nice catch!. I missed that.
	🥁 ♥ 12:49am Ike: This document just switched from English to Spanish for two paragraphs, so that was friggin' bananas.

	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Mike and Alex and docjazz!
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: Mike, it was fabulous seeing you last week, even though we all barged into your mic break. Haha. Holy cow, was it really just a week ago?!?
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm Alex from Media: Just parachuted in from another stream. And a Mike Lupica story was told!
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:03 HI Wendy! (It was very hard to type those 2 words, Laila Puppy kept trying to jump on the laptop...)
	♥ 10:05pm Mike Lupica: Haha, likewise! Mothership makes it seems like we've never left. Sorta like the hotel in the Shining, but with a nicer staff.
	♥ 10:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:05 Marty talkin' smack about me again?
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @10:05 Aww, how is Laila doing? Did you know today is National Puppy Day? I bet Laila knows.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Alex from Media: Commie Francis had a German pronunciation story.
	♥ 10:06pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:06 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm Alex from Media: Am I allowed to talk about other streams? Anyway she said to ask about something, but my brain fried out trying to get english and german straight at the same time and by the time I had hit reset the information was wiped.
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:05 Haha, true! Is there a SnoCat somewhere in the Mothership? I could use it up here right now. Last time I checked, the snow was almost to the top of my car's tires, and my plow guy is out sick this season. So yeah, my house is also like the hotel in the Shining, I guess. Lemme head down to the bar and see what's happening...
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:08 We try to keep it friendly between streams and DJs here, so as long as you're not saying anything mean, I think it's okay.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 They did post pics from the wedding on their FB so I figure things are friendly.

	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ doctorjazz @10:15 Hey DR J! Forwarding that to Wendy now.
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm doctorjazz: ↳ Alex from Media @10:16 Oops, so hard to type with a puppy trying to help...
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "One Of These Days" by "Pink Floyd" Cranking up the volume now...
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One Of These Days" by "Pink Floyd" Meddle is one of my favorite albums.
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ doctorjazz @10:18 <3
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Listener Christine: Oh fun. Sounding good, Mike!
	🥁 ♥ 10:22pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "One Of These Days" by "Pink Floyd" My grandmother once commented this sounded like a tarantella.
	♥ 10:23pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @10:20 Welcome Christine! Thanks for finding your way to the HWM!
	♥ 10:23pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:22 Totally fair.
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Listener Christine: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:23 Thanks! How are things under the twinkling lights of the Starlite Lounge? Evening, all 👋
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Do it Right" by "Homeboy Sandman" OMG, this song's chorus is the story of me dating. Oy gevalt.
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Alex from Media: Hi Listener Christine!
	🥁 ♥ 10:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Listener Christine @10:27 Hello, Listener Christine!
	♥ 10:29pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @10:27 "Same as it ever was, same as it ever was", as the song goes...
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "I've Got Feelings Too" by "Power Supply" Like the tune, but that tiger gif is making me cross-eyed.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "Black Box Recorder" <Elaine style> Get OUT!
	♥ 10:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:36 NEVER LOOK INTO THE EYES OF A TIGER GIF
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Listener Christine: I am getting hypnotized with that .GIF
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "Black Box Recorder" You got any Anika versions of this?
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "That's the Way of the World" by "Charles Stepney" Cool cover!
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "That's the Way of the World" by "Charles Stepney" This is awesome. I've never heard of Charles Stepney. Reissue?
	♥ 10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:40 Yep! Chicago producer, worked with lots of amazing folks in the late 60s and 70s.
	10:45pm Dean: I call bullshit. It takes no effort to hate.
	10:47pm Dean: I wish they were obligated to sound like Skyhooks.
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm Alex from Media: On covers of hard to tolerate tunes from that era. There seem to be a lot of MacArthur Park covers. Not sure what's to mine there after Richard Harris.
	🥁 ♥ 10:49pm Listener Christine: Reduce reuse recycle. That's the way to go! ♻️
	🥁 ♥ 10:50pm coelacanth∅: freak.
	10:51pm Dean: Maybe the only Cale recording I enjoy?
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Alex from Media: You got the Phantasm chair.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:50 Hey coelacanth∅! I always have to copy paste your moniker due to the symbol.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm coelacanth∅: a'right -been tuned-in but have to go to work now. Thanks Mike yes kiss sucks. sucked when i was little, kept sucking. music for children -who don't know music.
	♥ 10:53pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:51 Hahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm coelacanth∅: hey Alex! gotta go! tchau
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Ike: Hello! I just started proofreading a very boring document, so I'm glad this show is on to keep me company.
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Ike!
	♥ 10:55pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @10:53 Right on, Ike. We'll keep you awake and focused.
	♥ 10:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:55 With my exceptionally scratchy Feelies record.
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Listener Christine: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:56 Is that a letter from a Feelie?
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Slipping into Something" by "The Feelies" A letter from Stan! He's such a sweet man. This is maybe in my Top Three Feelies songs. But I've never heard this version. It sounds slightly different from the one on "Good Earth," but I might just be imagining things.
	10:57pm Erik abides VT: Mercenaries (Ready for War) by John Cale (7") = holy cow 🐮 - this is a stunner ! And i only vaguely recall it ! If I may ask: what vintage violence was that song recorded ? (Guessing mid to late 70s). Would anybody know of hand if it’s been made available via a 💿 CD reissue bonus track or sumpin edition ?!
	♥ 10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @10:56 Yep! His response to the dorky fanboy letter I sent him in the 80s! It always falls out of this record when I play it, so I decided to just post it on the playlist.
	♥ 10:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik abides VT @10:57 Erik, the single is from 1980... not sure if it's on any CD comps, but it is indeed a scorcher!
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Listener Christine: What a great memento.
	🥁 ♥ 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Erik abides VT @10:57 Hey Erik! I have the "Vintage Violence" CD reissue and "Mercenaries" is not a bonus track on it. But, maybe later reissues might include it. I dunno. Discogs will tell you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:02pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Football" by "Youth Lagoon" sneaky lyrics.
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm Ike: For just a second, I thought you guys were talking about gas mask Stan.
	♥ 11:04pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Ike @11:03 Ha! Fortunately, this is the internet, where Stan's gas mask is legal to talk about. (Even if we weren't.)
	♥ 11:07pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Nina Olen Palasina" by "Risto" I am and remain a huge fan of songs with little kids all singing in unison. See also: "Big A, Little A" by Crass.
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Doug Schulkind: What's this I hear about a hotwired manatee?
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Borderline" by "Thin Lizzy" THIN LIZZY!!! \m/
	🥁 ♥ 11:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:07 Also, "People Ain't No Good" by The Cramps features children singing in unison.
	♥ 11:10pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Doug Schulkind @11:08 Shhh!!! I thought we agreed not to let the ASPCA know about that!
	11:11pm Erik abides VT: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:01 Oh haha, just my failed attempt at record collector geek humor. Mercenaries = violence, etc (wah-wah). Seems like it would be around the great “animal justice” ep that included his utter epic masterpiece “Hedda Gabler”! (which i believe was added to the “sabotage alive” cd reissue -that I’ve never found)😕. Perhaps they can be found as extras on that island 3Lps on 2CDs edition- I will look Discogs. Thank you for playing it!
	11:17pm Dean: I'm taking my kids, 13 and 18, to a Zeke show in Sacramento in May. One week later they'll play a joint up the street from me in Berkeley, but kids aren't allowed.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm Listener Christine: 💯 🤖 th' Rammellzee
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm Alex from Media: Maybe Terry Jacks could cover Black Sabbath.
	11:27pm Erik abides VT: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:01 Hiya Wendo! 2 strikes I’m almost out. 😏. I’m not yet at my Discogs looking-up computer/music/area. Btw: what amount of snow do you have down your way?! We are literally buried hear! ‘Guts’ (Cale) to be 24” inches, if not 20” inches and thanks that it just stopped snowing. Geeesh - welcome to Spring! Sigh 🤷‍♂️ (when not on laptop, I seem to have a delay with seeing the next comment notes …🙄). -so apologies.
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Erik abides VT @11:27 Hey Erik! We have a metric fuck-ton of snow down here. Earlier in the comments I was requesting a SnoCat. haha. A few hours ago I looked out the window and noticed the snow was up to the top of my car tires. Yeah, springtime in Vermont will do this sorta thing! This snow storm is for everyone who was complaining we had no winter in Vermont. haha I'm thankful I had a PowerWall installed in December. If we lose juice from the snow being so heavy and pulling down lines, I'll still have power. Whew!
	🥁 ♥ 11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Obscene & Pornographic Art" by "Bongwater" It's Bongwater week on The Drummer Stream! I played their cover of "The Porpoise Song" on Monday. The 7" was conveniently placed in The Old Bin at the Mothership.
	♥ 11:35pm Mike Lupica: Bongwater Week > Infrastructure Week
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:35 Totally! Also, more songs should have in the chorus the line, "I ain't wearin' any underwear!" That never fails to crack me up. I might still be 10 years old.
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm Alex from Media: Kids speaking proper English are cute no matter what they say.
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm Listener Christine: Yasssss....Frendz!
	🥁 ♥ 11:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Speaking of being 10 years old and laughing at inappropriate things... that last track made me laugh pretty much the entire way through.
	11:39pm Dean: g-i-r-l fren
	♥ 11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @11:38 LET ME TELL YOU 'BOUT MAH FRENZ
	♥ 11:39pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:38 Same!
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm Listener Christine: Mah frenz < one hand
	♥ 11:40pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @11:39 Hahaha!
	11:40pm Erik abides VT: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:58 Dang - we keep wanting to add that for our safety. we don’t even have a fireplace or woodstove if our electric⚡️power goes out! Clarification: is a “powerwall” similar to an outdoor backup “genrator”? We rarely lose power hear in “the valley” as they oddly label us. Thank goodness 😅
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "You Are my Destiny" by "Paul Anka" I can never think of this song without thinking about the scene in "Young Frankenstein" where Gene Wilder is having that nightmare and he's rolling around in bed yelling, "Destiny! Destiny! No escaping! That's for me!"
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Ike: ↳ Song: "You Are my Destiny" by "Paul Anka" I'd capitalize "My" here. Oops, I can't stop editing.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:43 hahaha! You beat the voice in the back of my head that ruins everything to the punch.
	🥁 ♥ 11:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Erik abides VT @11:40 Erik, I also have no other heat source but my oil furnace (with an electric ignition and blower). We RARELY lose power in the village, but last March when we had that intense storm with sub-zero temps and 45 mph winds, I did lose power for 11 hours and it was VERY rough in this old house on the river. With climate-disaster, we should expect more of the same. Yes, the PowerWall is a storage battery that lives in the basement, between the grid and my breaker-box. It keeps itself charged and automatically switches should the grid go down. Green Mtn Power has a good deal. Costs me $45 per month for 10 years, paid in my electric bill. They paid for the installation.
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:48 How long would it last before running out of power?
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:45 Lines from "Young Frankenstein" often float around in my head. They have so many uses! Here's a fun story. Many years ago at NYC's Film Forum they showed the original "Frankenstein," dir. by James Whale. During the scene where Fritz (that movie's Igor) goes to the lab to get the brain, gets scared, drops the jar, and then goes to pick up the next one, someone in the audience yelled, "ABBY NORMAL!" and every single person in the theater laughed so hard we fell outta our seats. A classic movie-theater moment!
	11:52pm Erik abides VT: @Mike&Wendy! My freakin’ mobile phone keeps mixing up my intended message receiver! Thats twice now (Wendy got Mike’s comment & then Mike got Wendy’s) oh technology😳🫣 you’re failing me!😶‍🌫️🫤
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:52 I work in a lab with a brain bank. (Yes a bank of frozen brains that have been donated to science). Lets just say Young Frankenstein looms large. I also like Insane in the Membrane in the headphones while I dissect them.
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:50 It all depends. My doctor said she and her family kept their use low and their battery lasted for days. PowerWall comes with an app where you can track your usage any time (even right now) to see which appliances draw the most power, so you can plan accordingly. The app also tells you when you've gone off-grid, and how much juice you have left. It's pretty damn cool. In my opinion, better than a generator, which is loud and I'd have to handle fuel.
	♥ 11:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:55 You must hate when people make Abbie Normal jokes. (Says guy who was about to make "Abbie Normal" joke.)
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "You Don't Love Me (No No No)" by "Dawn Penn" I have a stream version of Sister Nancy version, but it cuts out before it end. I like the horns.
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:55 WOW! You have an awesome job! I often sing that song to my dear friend Elaine. "Insane in the Elaine! She's Elaine, got no brain!" It's good she knows I love her. :-D
	♥ 11:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 Nice! Love Sister Nancy.
	🥁 ♥ 11:57pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:56 Our favorite joke around the lab. Sorry to disappoint. But if it tickles your funny bone, the assistant pathologist is really named Igor.
	♥ 11:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @11:57 Ha!
	🥁 ♥ 11:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:57 SHUT UP!!! hahahaha, this totally made my day. Thank you, Alex! So, your job is to dissect human brains? That is so cool.
	12:02am Erik abides VT: ↳ Song: "The Perfect Man" by "Dory Previn" Thanks to yall at WFMU I have become newly introduced to Dory over the last year+. I was stunned to have never been turned onto her albums until now! Her psychotherapy motifs are So up my ally! I just found a decent $5.Lp copy of her 1970 album. (smelled a lil musty - but the content sure ain’t!). I gotta find all of em on CD reissues. As well as those fairly recent cd reissues of vintage Bridgette Fontaine.
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:58 It is part of my job. I use cultured neurons to mimic neurodegenerative disease. If your purify abnormal proteins from brain and add it to the cells you can reproduce aspects of the disease. I then look for molecules which stop the process. TMI link www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	🥁 ♥ 12:04am Listener Christine: I got some schmaltz on my toe. That's what I get for dipping it.
	🥁 ♥ 12:05am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @12:03 That is RAD! I love that you're working on research to stop Alzheimer's et al. You are doing a mitzvah every time you clock in. <3
	🥁 ♥ 12:07am Listener Christine: ↳ Alex from Media @12:03 What cool and important work, Alex.
	12:08am rw: Howdy! Is this seat taken?
	🥁 ♥ 12:08am Alex from Media: Why is it that I picture Dennis Hopper huffing off a gas cylinder in the corner of the Starlight lounge?
	♥ 12:09am Mike Lupica: ↳ rw @12:08 By YOU! Welcome!
	♥ 12:09am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:08 Because this is a classy place, Alex!
	12:10am rw: Thanks! Driving this seat across town. Thanks for the music and company!
	🥁 ♥ 12:11am Alex from Media: ↳ Listener Christine @12:07 Cheers!
	12:11am Erik abides VT: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:48 HolyCow🐮! -that sounds like THE perfect solution for us! I had never heard of that simple sounding system solution. We’ve always balked at the gas powered outdoor generator. (I hear they can fail without quite a bit of maintenance upkeep). So super thank uze! Ps: have GMP as well. Solar panels were prohibitive & etc etc. I agree that we are gonna have more of these dramatic weather events! We already have been for 10 years already!
	♥ 12:11am tom tom the pipers son: hello all...
	🥁 ♥ 12:12am Alex from Media: Hey Tom Tom!
	♥ 12:12am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:11 Welcome Tom!
	🥁 ♥ 12:14am Alex from Media: So I actually came to this show with a question for music industry folks. I came across the term eggpunk earlier today. Following up I came across all of these other classifications, Kittencore even! <snagglepuss voice> Is this a thing?
	♥ 12:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:12 hi mike hi alex ...i'm very impressed with your work, but i have to ask was there some unpleasant business with animal testing when you were in school, roomed with a biology student i college and it did a job on him psychologically
	🥁 ♥ 12:17am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:15 I've always been troubled by animal testing. Can't do it. I work with cells.
	♥ 12:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:17 ah, good for you...
	♥ 12:17am Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @12:14 I have heard of eggpunk, but I am in the dark as to what it actually means. I have put out a call to someone who does know and they may reply here if they're still awake!
	🥁 ♥ 12:19am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:17 When I found all of the terms it seemed like it was getting parsed a little too fine. Almost a genre for every band.
	♥ 12:20am tom tom the pipers son: Egg punk. Egg punk is a mostly internet-based genre that started in Northwest Indiana, influenced by Devo and a hatred for the us vs them mentality of the emerging "chain punk" bands. Egg punk is satirical, danceable, energetic, and deeply cynical of the edgy "hardcore and serious" approach to music.
	🥁 ♥ 12:20am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:17 However, I do make mutant cells and I do the "It's alive" rant from the old James Whale Frankenstein every time.
	🥁 ♥ 12:21am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:20 Thanks Tom.
	♥ 12:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:20 ha ha!!!... is that in frankenstein, or bride of, i like bride of more..
	♥ 12:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:20 but what is chain punk, i'm still not sure what egg punk is but the reference to devo is helpful
	12:24am Commie Francis: Ok hi here I am. Egg punk started as an Internet joke, in 2017 someone made a chart that listed various bands on a scale from chain punk (tough aggressive punk) to egg punk (more synthy goofy experimental punk)
	12:25am Commie Francis: Chain punk never took off as an actual subgenre but egg punk did
	🥁 ♥ 12:25am Alex from Media: ↳ Commie Francis @12:24 Hi Commie Francis. It was on your show that this got started.
	♥ 12:26am Mike Lupica: ↳ Commie Francis @12:24 Amazing. The world is so much bigger than I ever thought.
	🥁 ♥ 12:26am Listener Christine: ↳ Commie Francis @12:25 Cheers, thanks Commie!
	12:27am Erik abides VT: Wait ..@Mike: wasn’t there a song squeezing inbetween Squeeze & Ashe Boshle ? (some Asian Calabash / small faces ‘Pussycat’ version thingy?!)
	🥁 ♥ 12:29am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "A Cosmic Telephone Call" by "Kali Bahlu" What I like most about your show is that "anything that can happen will happen, and all at observable frequencies"
	12:29am Commie Francis: Before egg punk was called egg punk I personally called it lumpy and the dumpers type bands. That was a band from NYC and their associated label is lumpy records. I don't know if that's where egg punk started but that was when I was first aware of it. Some people call similar stuff zolo. You're welcome everyone! Literally pulled over to post this because mike asked. I'll be back later maybe! cf@wprb.com if you have more questions haha
	♥ 12:30am Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik abides VT @12:27 Maybe? That wouldn't be the first time tonight I suspected that something mysteriously evaporated from my playlist, but unfortunately, I have no way of checking/verifying until the archive gets posted. I guess we'll all find out together!
	♥ 12:30am Mike Lupica: ↳ Commie Francis @12:29 COMMIE ALWAYS KNOWS.
	🥁 ♥ 12:31am Wendy del Formaggio: It's time for me to get ready for bed now. Thanks, Mike! Good night, everyone!
	♥ 12:31am Mike Lupica: Bye Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 12:32am Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:31 Catch your show tomorrow Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 12:32am Listener Christine: Goodnight, Wendy 🌛
	🥁 ♥ 12:33am Alex from Media: ↳ Alex from Media @12:32 By tomorrow I mean Monday
	♥ 12:33am tom tom the pipers son: 'nite wendy...
	12:35am Erik abides VT: ↳ Alex from Media @11:57 When you have Igor leading the way - so you say: “was this way” and hunch and limp along !? Heh 😈 heh.
	12:37am Erik abides VT: Argh ! Dang autocorrect ruined it ! “WALK this way” ! 🙄
	🥁 ♥ 12:39am Alex from Media: ↳ Erik abides VT @12:37 I got it and yes we get a lot of mileage out of Young Frankenstein in the lab.
	♥ 12:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:39 is there a female researcher who can do madeline kahn's " oh sweet mystery of life, at last i've found you..."
	🥁 ♥ 12:45am Alex from Media: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:42 Never made that happen. But there was this one time that a female scientist started in like Terry Garr about how we have intellectual discussions. And she didnt know the movie.
	♥ 12:45am Mike Lupica: ↳ Erik abides VT @12:27 I think I just fixed this!
	♥ 12:45am Mike Lupica: I nominate "Feminazgul" as the best band name, ever.
	🥁 ♥ 12:47am Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:45 Sounds like a Babylonian king.
	🥁 ♥ 12:47am Listener Christine: You gotta appreciate a good portmanteau.
	♥ 12:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @12:45 i guess a science lab is a funny place for having life imitate art
	🥁 ♥ 12:48am Alex from Media: ↳ Listener Christine @12:47 Nice catch!. I missed that.
	🥁 ♥ 12:49am Ike: This document just switched from English to Spanish for two paragraphs, so that was friggin' bananas.
	♥ 12:49am Mike Lupica: ↳ Listener Christine @12:47 This is definitely the only plave on the internet where this sentence appears. Applause.
	♥ 12:50am Mike Lupica: *place
	♥ 12:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Les Pensées" by "Meril Wubslin" is this a reissue? the artwork looks very 70's...
	♥ 12:51am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @12:51 Nope! Brand new release!
	🥁 ♥ 12:52am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Canto De Ossanha" by "Agustín Pereyra Lucena" nice
