	12:11pm luka: hello everyone
	12:11pm ShelbyG: Hey Carm! I’m not in London Town, I’m down in the southwest, Devon. I’m lovin it!
	12:12pm ShelbyG: I hope Bryce is on the mend?
	12:12pm ShelbyG: Devon is heaven.
	12:13pm Astrid: love this!
	12:14pm Andrew_in_WI: Aidan Baker is one half of Nadja
	12:15pm WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @ShelbyG: There's an update at that gofundme link.
	12:15pm ShelbyG: Amazing track.
	12:17pm ShelbyG: Woods: good news 👍🏼
	12:20pm Andrew_in_WI: Kind of a droney set. Bryce would approve
	12:20pm steveo: this good
	12:23pm tim from washington: hello JH! hello HH! hello ShelbyG! hello everybody!
	12:26pm Hubig Pie: Loving this. I should be listening thru headphones in the middle of the night, half asleep for the full effect.
	12:26pm MikeG: I love the sound of Gas in the afternoon
	12:27pm Handy Haversack: tim! I was missing you earlier! I needed a definitive ruling on whether something was chooglin'!
	12:28pm Krys O.: Good afternoon!
	12:29pm tim from washington: Hey Handy! Damn, sorry I wasn't there in your time of need. Here's my chooglin' metric: If the boogie is working overtime it's chooglin'.
	12:30pm steveo: jazz cabbage lol
	12:30pm BerkeleyGuy: Jazz Cabbage, that's a new one.
	12:30pm tim from washington: JH - I thought you were going to say that the jazz cabbage is why you were three weeks late.
	12:32pm tim from washington: Just watch out for the kraut strain. That shit will fuck you up good.
	12:32pm Andrew_in_WI: @tim @Handy blog.wfmu.org...
	12:33pm steveo: fermented jazz cabbage = drinkin' n smokin'?
	12:34pm Niall: Speaking of GAS, I cycled through Königsforst last summer. It wasn't, like, a life-changing thing, but Wolfgang Voigt pilgrimage, woo.
	12:34pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Weed wasted ten years of my life, your milage may vary.
	12:34pm BerkeleyGuy: Pastrami Ruben with a side of jazz cabbage
	12:35pm Niall: Woooof, Sotos. There's a name I didn't expect to see any time soon.
	12:36pm joe mulligan: a bell on the snake would have totally saved that tyke.
	12:36pm tim from washington: Thank you Andrew but I stand by my definition. ;)
	12:38pm sphere: oooh DUB. I came in at the perfect moment.
	🎙 12:39pm Jherweg: Sotos is a controversial figure for sure , but that soundbite was so funny I couldn’t not play it . I think it also shows that those sound collages were made sort of tongue and cheek, but I understand why people get offended .
	12:39pm KenW: Checking in Brother, and fantastic show so far!!!!!
	🎙 12:41pm Jherweg: Hey Ken ! Happy you’re here !
	12:42pm Niall: Jherweg: I think people offended by "Buyer's Market" were likely primed by most everything else the guy did, ha. I had a friend, older than me, worked at Restless Records in Chicago; he said that he was the only guy who would take Sotos' custom; everyone else would just drop what they were doing at the counter and walk away.
	12:42pm Niall: Jherweg: It is objectively hilarious, the clip, in that fecund "wtf is it with America" genre.
	12:43pm Yes: grooving
	12:46pm Niall: Of course, mad people and reptiles aren't exclusive to Amerikay: t.co...
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Just that ours are more heavily armed, Niall.
	1:03pm MD: Yo you are so right brother! Ok here we go peoples… the directors cut or the original movie release???
	1:04pm MD: For me…THE ORIGINAL ALL THE WAY! I’m a sucker for the Sam Spade narrative thing!!!!
	1:04pm MD: Taulk amongst yourselves…
	1:06pm Cold Fish: "That's what my ex-wife called me."
	1:09pm Marcel M: Yo
	🎙 1:10pm Jherweg: Yo Marcel
	1:12pm Niall: @Handy Haversack:Truth!
	1:12pm Hubig Pie: Home alone with the cats Sippin' coffee It's snowing outside This music is perfect for all that
	1:12pm Niall: Oh, I wondered why this sounded like Spacemen 3. Huh, is this originally an old song? Did COIL nick it from them?
	1:13pm cklequ: Well if coming back from my lunch break to a Blurred and Obscured fill in show isn't nice, I don't know what is...
	1:15pm Niall: Oh, that's Dean Wareham, so probably unrelated to COIL. "Teenage Lightning"'s such an evocative phrase.
	1:16pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Hubig.
	1:20pm Bimbus Bambus: Great, now I want a hot dog.
	1:21pm Hubig Pie: It's a hygge moment, Handy
	1:22pm Bernardo: Damn I’m being trolled for missing the Dry Cleaning show the other night 😢 😢
	1:24pm Niall: I'm going to my first show since the pandemic this weekend. I'm excited! The last one was OM in late February 2020 and I walked out after 20 minutes thinking "WTF am I doing here..."
	1:24pm Jason from Houston: Monday here in Houston, Bernardo! Come through!
	1:25pm Bernardo: @Niall congrats I hope it’s magical for you as it was for me. All the bands are back out there on the road! It’s fabulous
	1:26pm Jason from Houston: I missed Rosali in Fort Worth (and Austin) last week because of a work thing and I am trying not to get too busted up about it. It isn't easy.
	1:26pm pp: flocked by seagulls again!
	1:26pm Bernardo: Ahhh @jason from Houston !! I just might have to been awhile since I’ve been there. Either that or I source down to Baltimore tonight
	1:27pm Niall: @Bernardo and these are all local-ish bands. Finally gonna get a notion of what the scene is like in relatively-rural Ireland. I'm "going into town!"
	1:28pm Jason from Houston: The Petro Metro will welcome you back whenever you can make it. For shows, museums, Vietnamese food, whatever you want.
	1:28pm Handy Haversack: Frock-coat time, Niall!
	1:29pm eva: good afternoon. enjoying this very much. happy you’re filling in. anyone know how’s brice is doing?
	1:30pm eva: excuse my typos🙂
	1:30pm Handy Haversack: Ken posted an update last week, eva, but nothing since, that I know of: www.gofundme.com...
	1:34pm eva: poor brice. hope he heals soon. had that one cranked up very loud .
	1:35pm eva: more typos! I’m going away now. peace!
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: Which night were you there, Jonathan? We were there Sunday. That was such a fantastic show. Really transporting. I was hoping that might be the encore, and BAM! There it was!
	1:37pm chris in the redwoods: oh hell yes. also, happy fridays all around. :)
	🎙 1:38pm Jherweg: I was there Sunday (Mother’s Day)!
	1:38pm Niall: Oh, I have some Lingua Ignota tracks; they did a pretty cracking cover of "Katie Cruel," too.
	1:39pm Niall: The Swaggart album's pretty wild.
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Chris! Can't stress enough that anyone who has the chance to see Lingua Ignota should jump at it! Jonathan, did you stick around for the Q&A? I was the one up in the tables area who clapped and shouted when she cited Ghedalia Tazartes and Diamanda as influences.
	1:39pm chris in the redwoods: goosebumps. godammit this is great.
	1:41pm Doobois: Same here, Redwoods. But is her name JOLEEN or JOLENE?
	1:42pm Cosmo in Seattle: I’d like to hear the isolated vocal track. The other stuff is a distraction.
	1:42pm Doobois: Or even JOE LEAN?
	1:43pm Niall: @jherwig This stuff's all well up my street; do you have a regularly-scheduled show here?
	🎙 1:46pm Jherweg: It’s Jolene ! There I fixed it !
	1:48pm Handy Haversack: Niall: www.wfmu.org...
	1:48pm Doobois: Yesh! You are a gentleman, JH!
	🎙 1:48pm Jherweg: @sadly I had to split before the Q and A , because I had to work at the crack of dawn , but I would have asked her if she’s actually a believer or is the theme of these albums purely a conceptual way to express her rage . It’s a good one .. she seems too smart to be a true believer .
	1:49pm Niall: Handy Haversack: aye, I saw - that doesn't look like regularly-scheduled programming, thanks ;)
	🎙 1:49pm Jherweg: *** Handy, sorry .
	🎙 1:52pm Ike: Good to hear ya, JH.
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: Jherweg, from the Q&A, what I gleaned is that she was most certainly raised Catholic and believing, lost that faith, and now is in a sort of less-defined relationship with belief -- using the iconography as an intentional part of the artistic project, no doubt, but with some more or less spiritual elements coming back to her as well. So probably "true believer" doesn't capture it but I don't think "atheist" does either?
	1:56pm steveo: why we need clicky-stars for comments ^^^
	🎙 1:59pm osvi: Taking day off means I can listen live. Great sounds, Jonathan Herweg!
	2:02pm Corey: Psychedelic symbiosis
	🎙 2:05pm Ike: @JH: Will you be entering the Thunderdome to battle John Allen, Dave Mandl, Faye, and Frank Perdue for a decent timeslot? They’re all freakin’ great, but I’ll be rooting for you as my #1 choice! (P.S. One of those may not be an actual WFMU DJ. I haven’t gotten much sleep.)
	2:08pm Carmichael: Jaysus, came in off a zoom call and the volume was at 80! WOOO!!!!
	🎙 2:10pm Jherweg: I have entered the fray!
	2:11pm Hams: good afternoon. hey, is there a link to the hoboken cave performance?
	🎙 2:13pm Jherweg: I don’t have a link sorry but it’s being put on by the Hoboken Historical Museum so maybe there is more info on their website ?
	2:16pm Hams: ah, ok. i'll check it out, appreciate it.
	🎙 2:16pm Ike: Just watch out for Faye, she can draw GIFs out of thin air and battle you with hopping cacti or draw a moving hole in the ground that you might fall into.
	2:25pm steveo: did not know about the hoboken cave; wish i could go to that tomorrow; sounds amazing
	2:27pm Jason from Houston: RE: Dry Cleaning
	2:27pm karlward: Orange is a city in France, non?
	2:27pm paddy in matawan: Whenever I encounter that situation I usually add a search term about the topic. "France band"
	2:27pm karlward: Jason from Houston: Although, if you searched for "dry cleaning near me" and the #1 search result was for when Dry Cleaning is playing near you, I would love that.
	2:28pm Jason from Houston: Also: Naked Roommate
	2:28pm djsheilab: Hey Jonathan! I’m stuck in serious Holland Tunnel traffic and may be a few minutes late for my show. Are you okay to go a bit over? My apologies for this! And thank you! Your show has been a balm for my frazzled traffic nerves.
	2:28pm karlward: paddy in matawan: do you mean "Frances, the Band" ? (Paul Hogan's great orchestral pop/rock band)
	🎙 2:29pm Jherweg: Sure no problem !!
	2:29pm Jason from Houston: It didn't happen the other day, karlward. The place where they were supposed to play off of Harrisburg closed in a hurry. People were scrambling to find new venues.
	2:29pm Niall: I like this Faustian plod.
	2:30pm Niall: Faustian bargin'.
	2:30pm Handy Haversack: I think Faustian Plod is touring this summer too. Are they playing Houston?
	2:30pm Hubig Pie: Is this the 30 minute freak out you promised ? Very Bryce-ian
	2:30pm paddy in matawan: You mean Crocodile Dundee?
	2:31pm karlward: paddy in matawan: nope, the other Paul Hogan, the good one
	🎙 2:31pm Jherweg: @sheila B no problem I got you covered !
	2:31pm Carmichael: Hoboken Cave: www.hobokenmuseum.org...
	2:31pm djsheilab: Thank you!
	2:32pm Jason from Houston: You can't make me Google that, Handy. LOL
	2:33pm Jason from Houston: But seriously, I don't know where the Shannon and the Clams show is going to be.
	2:33pm steveo: nice of Sheila to fill in for Bryce's getting stuck in traffic...
	🎙 2:33pm Jherweg: Thanks Carmichael , I had too much going on to get the link.
	2:33pm chresti @sf: Hi jgherwig! Sounds for today! Thanks!
	2:34pm Carmichael: Sure thing.
	2:34pm karlward: Back in my commuting hellscape days there were so many times when I was stuck on the freeway in a bus listening to Sheila B's show. It was one of the only things that made that commuter hell type situation bearable.
	2:36pm Niall: Maybe "France" is actually La Novia and this is really Bryce in disguise.
	2:36pm P-90: This adds a dramatic element of suspense to the (already excellent) show: will DJ Sheila make it to Montgomery St in time to start at her appointed hour?
	🎙 2:37pm Jherweg: Whatever happens it is going to be ok !
	2:38pm Handy Haversack: And what will Jonathan play to keep the Sophisticates dancing?
	2:40pm Hubig Pie: Bryce played a France track - Metzoide. 50 minutes of bludgeoning Twas beautiful
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: I'd love to hear the cave concert, but we have to go to a wedding in Brooklyn tomorrow evening. But I met Bill Brovold last year, and he's a super nice fellow. His partner and K8 work together, and they came to her show up in Accord, NY. I don't think he was expecting to run into someone who knew is work, but WFMU shirt will out!
	2:43pm paddy in matawan: @karl phew
	2:46pm chris in the redwoods: this rules
	2:51pm Travisano66: help me
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: Word.
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: Or rather: Mot.
	2:52pm P-90: Awesome fill-in! Thanks
	2:52pm steveo: i see there's a part 2...
	2:53pm steveo: Or rather: partie
	🎙 2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jonathan. I hope your shoulder is coming along.
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: In case this ends one day, thanks, Jonathan! Great to hear you today. Stay out of focus, everyone!
	2:57pm steveo: yes, thanks, Jonathan; marvelous show
	2:58pm P-90: whew
	2:58pm Yvang: This France track has some sophisticated boom booms in it!
	2:58pm abbazabba: Thanks, Jonathan! That was fun; except for the Peter Sotos - that was traumatic
	2:58pm chris in the redwoods: thank you kindly, Jherweg!
	2:59pm Yvang: Thanks, Jonathan!
	2:59pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyy... Thank you, Jherweg.
	3:00pm ?: Hey Jonny, Thanks! Jennifer B. here
	4:54am ?: Fantastique! Nicely done
	4:57am J. T. from spain: You mind the mind.... Loving it

I had a friend, older than me, worked at Restless Records in Chicago; he said that he was the only guy who would take Sotos' custom; everyone else would just drop what they were doing at the counter and walk away.
	12:42pm Niall: Jherweg: It is objectively hilarious, the clip, in that fecund "wtf is it with America" genre.
	12:43pm Yes: grooving
	12:46pm Niall: Of course, mad people and reptiles aren't exclusive to Amerikay: t.co...
	12:54pm Handy Haversack: Just that ours are more heavily armed, Niall.
	1:03pm MD: Yo you are so right brother! Ok here we go peoples… the directors cut or the original movie release???
	1:04pm MD: For me…THE ORIGINAL ALL THE WAY! I’m a sucker for the Sam Spade narrative thing!!!!
	1:04pm MD: Taulk amongst yourselves…
	1:06pm Cold Fish: "That's what my ex-wife called me."
	1:09pm Marcel M: Yo
	🎙 1:10pm Jherweg: Yo Marcel
	1:12pm Niall: @Handy Haversack:Truth!
	1:12pm Hubig Pie: Home alone with the cats Sippin' coffee It's snowing outside This music is perfect for all that
	1:12pm Niall: Oh, I wondered why this sounded like Spacemen 3. Huh, is this originally an old song? Did COIL nick it from them?
	1:13pm cklequ: Well if coming back from my lunch break to a Blurred and Obscured fill in show isn't nice, I don't know what is...
	1:15pm Niall: Oh, that's Dean Wareham, so probably unrelated to COIL. "Teenage Lightning"'s such an evocative phrase.
	1:16pm Handy Haversack: Nice, Hubig.
	1:20pm Bimbus Bambus: Great, now I want a hot dog.
	1:21pm Hubig Pie: It's a hygge moment, Handy
	1:22pm Bernardo: Damn I’m being trolled for missing the Dry Cleaning show the other night 😢 😢
	1:24pm Niall: I'm going to my first show since the pandemic this weekend. I'm excited! The last one was OM in late February 2020 and I walked out after 20 minutes thinking "WTF am I doing here..."
	1:24pm Jason from Houston: Monday here in Houston, Bernardo! Come through!
	1:25pm Bernardo: @Niall congrats I hope it’s magical for you as it was for me. All the bands are back out there on the road! It’s fabulous
	1:26pm Jason from Houston: I missed Rosali in Fort Worth (and Austin) last week because of a work thing and I am trying not to get too busted up about it. It isn't easy.
	1:26pm pp: flocked by seagulls again!
	1:26pm Bernardo: Ahhh @jason from Houston !! I just might have to been awhile since I’ve been there. Either that or I source down to Baltimore tonight
	1:27pm Niall: @Bernardo and these are all local-ish bands. Finally gonna get a notion of what the scene is like in relatively-rural Ireland. I'm "going into town!"
	1:28pm Jason from Houston: The Petro Metro will welcome you back whenever you can make it. For shows, museums, Vietnamese food, whatever you want.
	1:28pm Handy Haversack: Frock-coat time, Niall!
	1:29pm eva: good afternoon. enjoying this very much. happy you’re filling in. anyone know how’s brice is doing?
	1:30pm eva: excuse my typos🙂
	1:30pm Handy Haversack: Ken posted an update last week, eva, but nothing since, that I know of: www.gofundme.com...
	1:34pm eva: poor brice. hope he heals soon. had that one cranked up very loud .
	1:35pm eva: more typos! I’m going away now. peace!
	1:36pm Handy Haversack: Which night were you there, Jonathan? We were there Sunday. That was such a fantastic show. Really transporting. I was hoping that might be the encore, and BAM! There it was!
	1:37pm chris in the redwoods: oh hell yes. also, happy fridays all around. :)
	🎙 1:38pm Jherweg: I was there Sunday (Mother’s Day)!
	1:38pm Niall: Oh, I have some Lingua Ignota tracks; they did a pretty cracking cover of "Katie Cruel," too.
	1:39pm Niall: The Swaggart album's pretty wild.
	1:39pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Chris! Can't stress enough that anyone who has the chance to see Lingua Ignota should jump at it! Jonathan, did you stick around for the Q&A? I was the one up in the tables area who clapped and shouted when she cited Ghedalia Tazartes and Diamanda as influences.
	1:39pm chris in the redwoods: goosebumps. godammit this is great.
	1:41pm Doobois: Same here, Redwoods. But is her name JOLEEN or JOLENE?
	1:42pm Cosmo in Seattle: I’d like to hear the isolated vocal track. The other stuff is a distraction.
	1:42pm Doobois: Or even JOE LEAN?
	1:43pm Niall: @jherwig This stuff's all well up my street; do you have a regularly-scheduled show here?
	🎙 1:46pm Jherweg: It’s Jolene ! There I fixed it !
	1:48pm Handy Haversack: Niall: www.wfmu.org...
	1:48pm Doobois: Yesh! You are a gentleman, JH!
	🎙 1:48pm Jherweg: @sadly I had to split before the Q and A , because I had to work at the crack of dawn , but I would have asked her if she’s actually a believer or is the theme of these albums purely a conceptual way to express her rage . It’s a good one .. she seems too smart to be a true believer .
	1:49pm Niall: Handy Haversack: aye, I saw - that doesn't look like regularly-scheduled programming, thanks ;)
	🎙 1:49pm Jherweg: *** Handy, sorry .
	🎙 1:52pm Ike: Good to hear ya, JH.
	1:52pm Handy Haversack: Jherweg, from the Q&A, what I gleaned is that she was most certainly raised Catholic and believing, lost that faith, and now is in a sort of less-defined relationship with belief -- using the iconography as an intentional part of the artistic project, no doubt, but with some more or less spiritual elements coming back to her as well. So probably "true believer" doesn't capture it but I don't think "atheist" does either?
	1:56pm steveo: why we need clicky-stars for comments ^^^
	🎙 1:59pm osvi: Taking day off means I can listen live. Great sounds, Jonathan Herweg!
	2:02pm Corey: Psychedelic symbiosis
	🎙 2:05pm Ike: @JH: Will you be entering the Thunderdome to battle John Allen, Dave Mandl, Faye, and Frank Perdue for a decent timeslot? They’re all freakin’ great, but I’ll be rooting for you as my #1 choice! (P.S. One of those may not be an actual WFMU DJ. I haven’t gotten much sleep.)
	2:08pm Carmichael: Jaysus, came in off a zoom call and the volume was at 80! WOOO!!!!
	🎙 2:10pm Jherweg: I have entered the fray!
	2:11pm Hams: good afternoon. hey, is there a link to the hoboken cave performance?
	🎙 2:13pm Jherweg: I don’t have a link sorry but it’s being put on by the Hoboken Historical Museum so maybe there is more info on their website ?
	2:16pm Hams: ah, ok. i'll check it out, appreciate it.
	🎙 2:16pm Ike: Just watch out for Faye, she can draw GIFs out of thin air and battle you with hopping cacti or draw a moving hole in the ground that you might fall into.
	2:25pm steveo: did not know about the hoboken cave; wish i could go to that tomorrow; sounds amazing
	2:27pm Jason from Houston: RE: Dry Cleaning
	2:27pm karlward: Orange is a city in France, non?
	2:27pm paddy in matawan: Whenever I encounter that situation I usually add a search term about the topic. "France band"
	2:27pm karlward: Jason from Houston: Although, if you searched for "dry cleaning near me" and the #1 search result was for when Dry Cleaning is playing near you, I would love that.
	2:28pm Jason from Houston: Also: Naked Roommate
	2:28pm djsheilab: Hey Jonathan! I’m stuck in serious Holland Tunnel traffic and may be a few minutes late for my show. Are you okay to go a bit over? My apologies for this! And thank you! Your show has been a balm for my frazzled traffic nerves.
	2:28pm karlward: paddy in matawan: do you mean "Frances, the Band" ? (Paul Hogan's great orchestral pop/rock band)
	🎙 2:29pm Jherweg: Sure no problem !!
	2:29pm Jason from Houston: It didn't happen the other day, karlward. The place where they were supposed to play off of Harrisburg closed in a hurry. People were scrambling to find new venues.
	2:29pm Niall: I like this Faustian plod.
	2:30pm Niall: Faustian bargin'.
	2:30pm Handy Haversack: I think Faustian Plod is touring this summer too. Are they playing Houston?
	2:30pm Hubig Pie: Is this the 30 minute freak out you promised ? Very Bryce-ian
	2:30pm paddy in matawan: You mean Crocodile Dundee?
	2:31pm karlward: paddy in matawan: nope, the other Paul Hogan, the good one
	🎙 2:31pm Jherweg: @sheila B no problem I got you covered !
	2:31pm Carmichael: Hoboken Cave: www.hobokenmuseum.org...
	2:31pm djsheilab: Thank you!
	2:32pm Jason from Houston: You can't make me Google that, Handy. LOL
	2:33pm Jason from Houston: But seriously, I don't know where the Shannon and the Clams show is going to be.
	2:33pm steveo: nice of Sheila to fill in for Bryce's getting stuck in traffic...
	🎙 2:33pm Jherweg: Thanks Carmichael , I had too much going on to get the link.
	2:33pm chresti @sf: Hi jgherwig! Sounds for today! Thanks!
	2:34pm Carmichael: Sure thing.
	2:34pm karlward: Back in my commuting hellscape days there were so many times when I was stuck on the freeway in a bus listening to Sheila B's show. It was one of the only things that made that commuter hell type situation bearable.
	2:36pm Niall: Maybe "France" is actually La Novia and this is really Bryce in disguise.
	2:36pm P-90: This adds a dramatic element of suspense to the (already excellent) show: will DJ Sheila make it to Montgomery St in time to start at her appointed hour?
	🎙 2:37pm Jherweg: Whatever happens it is going to be ok !
	2:38pm Handy Haversack: And what will Jonathan play to keep the Sophisticates dancing?
	2:40pm Hubig Pie: Bryce played a France track - Metzoide. 50 minutes of bludgeoning Twas beautiful
	2:42pm Handy Haversack: I'd love to hear the cave concert, but we have to go to a wedding in Brooklyn tomorrow evening. But I met Bill Brovold last year, and he's a super nice fellow. His partner and K8 work together, and they came to her show up in Accord, NY. I don't think he was expecting to run into someone who knew is work, but WFMU shirt will out!
	2:43pm paddy in matawan: @karl phew
	2:46pm chris in the redwoods: this rules
	2:51pm Travisano66: help me
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: Word.
	2:52pm Handy Haversack: Or rather: Mot.
	2:52pm P-90: Awesome fill-in! Thanks
	2:52pm steveo: i see there's a part 2...
	2:53pm steveo: Or rather: partie
	🎙 2:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Jonathan. I hope your shoulder is coming along.
	2:55pm Handy Haversack: In case this ends one day, thanks, Jonathan! Great to hear you today. Stay out of focus, everyone!
	2:57pm steveo: yes, thanks, Jonathan; marvelous show
	2:58pm P-90: whew
	2:58pm Yvang: This France track has some sophisticated boom booms in it!
	2:58pm abbazabba: Thanks, Jonathan! That was fun; except for the Peter Sotos - that was traumatic
	2:58pm chris in the redwoods: thank you kindly, Jherweg!
	2:59pm Yvang: Thanks, Jonathan!
	2:59pm Jason from Houston: Heyyyy... Thank you, Jherweg.
	3:00pm ?: Hey Jonny, Thanks! Jennifer B. here
	4:54am ?: Fantastique! Nicely done
	4:57am J. T. from spain: You mind the mind.... Loving it
