	12:04pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Good afternoon Mary wing🛎️
	🛎 12:04pm Handy Haversack: βrian, Sylvia, Chris, and all yet to alight on the Wing Thing: ring-a-ding-ding! Last few hours of working in Manhattan until January 3. Already looking forward to turning off my (barely functional brain).
	12:04pm Ike: Mmm, cedar.
	12:04pm chresti @🎾: Hey Mary and wingdinders!
	12:05pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: We are very happy your here!
	12:05pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Song: "The Egyptian Second Line" by "Nicholas Payton" Pow!
	12:05pm Mary Wing: Hiya Phillip, Ike, and chresti! Who is liking the new playlist features?
	12:06pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: The steamed chicken patty with steamed red potatoes are almost ready
	12:08pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Song: "The Egyptian Second Line" by "Nicholas Payton" Nice tennis check-in music
	12:09pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Ike @12:04 mmmm cedar
	12:10pm Mary Wing: I'll pass on cedar and head straight for cheddar, heh.
	🛎 12:10pm Handy Haversack: Mary, I can take or leave them. I find I rarely need to make use, that it's usually clear from context.
	12:11pm Ike: ↳ Mary Wing @12:05 Me. The symbols fit in nicely, in my humble opinion, and it's an interesting way to do conversational threads that doesn't disrupt the structure that was already in place.
	🛎 12:12pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:12pm Mary Wing: ↳ Ike @12:11 Plus you don't have to keep typing @Ike @12:11, I guess.
	12:13pm Mary Wing: Hey there Phillippe! Hope your family has a stress-free holiday, to make up for your Thanksgiving!
	12:14pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Mary Wing @12:05 It is useful as long as I click on the correct bubbles
	🛎 12:14pm Hubig Pie: I like this Nicholas Payton. I do not like -38f wind chill outside me door.
	🛎 12:14pm Handy Haversack: Hubig bar the door!
	🛎 12:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Mary Wing @12:05 When someone comments "I like this song," it can be clear which song they meant.
	12:16pm Mary Wing: ↳ chresti @🎾 @12:14 I suppose it is more useful on chattier chat boards; the screen isn't particularly scrolling wildly on these here playlists, heh.
	12:16pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Mary Wing @12:12 yes to less typing for my "pick and peck" method
	12:17pm Mary Wing: Hiya Hubig! Have you dug yourself out of the snow?
	12:17pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Mary Wing @12:16 exactly! Internet just cut out sigh
	🛎 12:19pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 Thanks for the cocktail recipes. This is my first use of the comment balloon. It makes the comment window rather smallish.
	12:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @12:16 i could change that (if i can wake up)
	🛎 12:19pm Bas NL: Hello Mary & happy 100%!
	🛎 12:20pm βrian: The interface seems tetchy. It worked ok yesterday, but now not so much.
	12:20pm Ike: ↳ Mary Wing @12:12 EXACTLY. It's a small thing, but I kind of hated doing that -- but I felt it was essential for readability. No more, yay!
	🛎 12:21pm Hubig Pie: Jah, Mary. Lotsa digging indeed. Now a few days of insanely cold wx.
	12:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @12:20 @Ike@12:20 - but I like redundancy....
	12:22pm Ike: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:19 I believe Kenzo is working on that. It may depend on the length of the name you're replying to (?) or some such. When it hits me, I just type a few words and then continue in the confirmation window, which gives ample room.
	🛎 12:22pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, I made Princess Mary's Pride last night and Dressed Up Like a Dog's Dinner the night before. Glad they are useful!
	12:24pm Mary Wing: Howdy NGH and Bas! I've got mellow sounds for a while, not sure if you can wake up without a cuppa cawfee, heh.
	12:24pm Michael 98145: Happy Solstice Day, Friends
	🛎 12:25pm Phillippe: ↳ Mary Wing @12:13 thanks, but I'm already having my doubts...
	🛎 12:26pm Bas NL: ↳ Mary Wing @12:24 Mellow away! :)
	12:27pm Ike: ↳ northguineahills @12:21 That reminds me of Pat Byrne's old show name, Redundancy Radio with DJ Repeating DJ, or something like that. No wait, that wasn't it... it's been supplanted in the archives by his subsequent name (i.e. his real name) so now I can't find it!
	🛎 12:29pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:22 I have everything but the Dubonnet to make the first. I'll have to employ a shopping cart at the liquor store for the second, but it do look tasty.
	12:29pm Mary Wing: Good morning Michael 98145!
	12:31pm Mary Wing: ↳ Ike @12:27 Pat's show after Redundancy Radio was Prove It All Night!
	🛎 12:32pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, a bottle of Dubonnet is nice to have on hand also for a Vendôme: equal parts gin, Dubonnet, dey vermouth.
	🛎 12:33pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Ike @12:22 Well that is a good idea you have there.
	12:36pm Ike: ↳ Mary Wing @12:31 No, I mean I was trying to remember DJ name during Redundancy Radio, before he was Pat Byrne during Prove It. Redundancy Radio and Prove It have melded together into a single glob in the archives so it's not shown. Redundancy Radio with DJ Rerun Repeat? I don't know, something like that.
	🛎 12:36pm Hubig Pie: Handy, nothing touches my Tanqueray ™ but an ice cube!
	🛎 12:37pm David (in London): More festive than Christmas with Bing, it's Mary Wing. Afternoon groovemongers.
	🛎 12:37pm Handy Haversack: Only his gin dresser knows for sure! Afternoon, David.
	12:38pm Mary Wing: Greetings, David in London! This is as festive as I can manage for the moment!
	12:42pm northguineahills: ↳ David (in London) @12:37 what about (ms) Bing w/ Bing Crosby? /"one bing only, vasili."
	12:42pm doctorjazz: Cool set-Hi Mary and Holiday week 100%ers!
	12:44pm Mary Wing: Hiya doctorjazz! Short week, folloed by a shorter week, woo hoo!
	🛎 12:44pm Handy Haversack: Crazy Ivan, ngh!
	12:45pm Michael 98145: Juana !
	12:47pm chresti: ↳ David (in London) @12:37 Davidkins!
	🛎 12:48pm David (in London): ↳ chresti @12:47 Chrestikins!
	🛎 12:49pm David (in London): And wotcha Handles, ngh, Michael, Hubig, jazzmedic, Phillippe, Basmeester, Ken, S&M&S, et al. Fine groovers, every one.
	12:50pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Did I say happy your here with us Mary Wing🛎️
	12:50pm northguineahills: now i feel old realizing this album came out 22 years ago...
	12:51pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Can’t wait! Can’t wait for this damn holiday to be over.
	12:51pm Michael 98145: i'm old and cold
	12:52pm Michael 98145: bring back the sun
	🛎 12:53pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, David!
	12:53pm Mary Wing: I think Juana is trying to sync with our brain waves, now, hhe.
	12:55pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Today is the “winter equinox” if anyone cares when the earth is completely tilted away from the sun ☀️
	12:55pm northguineahills: no sun down here....
	12:55pm northguineahills: ↳ listener Phillip in the Bronx @12:55 (except for the antipodeans)
	12:55pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: After today the days slowly get longer. Until march 20th
	12:56pm Mary Wing: Seems pretty sunny outside right now.
	12:57pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Yes yes it’s sunny here in the Bronx. But Thursday and Friday hopefully it will be RAIN instead of a BLIZZARD of snow
	🛎 12:58pm chris in the redwoods: love this Juana Molina album. also loving this freshly brewed cup of Gesha from Chiapas, Mexico, roasted by Sightglass in LA.
	1:01pm Dave in Vermont: ding!
	1:02pm northguineahills: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:58 looks at my shirt chiapas you say? well, i'm wearing a shirt for a heroine of chiapas (subcomandante ramona)
	🛎 1:04pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ northguineahills @1:02 nice!:)
	1:05pm northguineahills: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:04 (done as riff off the ramones)
	🛎 1:07pm WR: Hi Mary and folks. Another work day here. Started listing during the Coltrane track. Whole first set looks essential for me to circle back to the archive. So I will be a listener from the future, probably tomorrow morning,
	1:09pm Mary Wing: Hi Dave in Vermont and WR! Ooops, I put the mystery artists already on the playlist, heh.
	1:10pm Mary Wing: ↳ WR @1:07 Glad to hear it, WR! I always want to shout out the future listeners!
	1:15pm Mary Wing: Just bounce, no hands, heh. Great dance instructions!
	🛎 1:16pm Handy Haversack: I think everybody should look at your hands just in case.
	1:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @1:15 so, trad (ie: irish) step-dancing?
	🛎 1:18pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ northguineahills @1:05 of course! damn that's cool.
	1:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:16 "why do they call them fingers?"
	🛎 1:18pm David (in London): The spirit of Judge Dredd moves amongst us.
	1:19pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @1:17 I was thinking more of badgers, heh. www.youtube.com...
	1:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @1:19 Noooooooooooooooooooooo! thanks, it's take another few solar revolutions to get that out of my head again (i've been free of that for quite a while, now).
	1:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @1:19 "mushroom"
	1:22pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @1:20 The badger is never far from my consciousness, along with the Amazing Horse, heh.
	🛎 1:27pm Hubig Pie: They just closed the local ski area cuz the wind chill is -43f 🥶. Okay, no mo wx reports
	🛎 1:28pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Lost Empire Of Tartaria" by "Dennis Young" the Lost Empire of Tartaria was known for their love of raw steak.
	🛎 1:28pm Handy Haversack: Explains why they got lost, Chris!
	🛎 1:29pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:27 jayzus! that's breath crackling cold.
	🛎 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Happy Solstice FMUvianz ! ~ & a Kewl Yule to You & Yours. Wed. Dec. 21st @ 4:49 P.M. Eastern ST is Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, in 2022. Official ~ technical / astronomical Beginning of Winter. Longest night of the year - after this, daylight gets longer for half a year. This is when the ⦿Sun is lowest & furthest South in the sky (Northern Hemisphere) - so note where it rises & sets @ your location. This is also when the ⦿Sun enters ♑︎Capricorn - sign of the SeaGoat - & last of the three practical Earth Element signs - who makes the long final climb out of the depths of the Darkness to the Heights...
	1:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:27 I've been at the top of snowshoe, wv, when the windchill was -50(F/C), but it was at night (they didn't close, but I was basically the only one on the slopes, and nothing kept me warm on the lifts)
	1:33pm Mary Wing: Happy Solstice, RevRab!
	🛎 1:34pm Hubig Pie: ↳ northguineahills @1:31 Chair lift of lost souls. You get on but you never get off....
	1:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:31 due to the precession of the equinoxes, the latitude, "the tropic of cancer" should now be the "tropic of gemini" and the "tropic of capricorn" should be the "tropic of sagitarrius".
	1:35pm Michael 98145: the coldest i've seen is -17F, and that was enough
	🛎 1:37pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:35 Forecast to bottom out here overnight at -29f air temp.
	🛎 1:39pm βrian: I was once living in a cabin with board siding (but no battens) @ -30℉. Feather ticks and a large woodstove kept us going.
	1:39pm northguineahills: yes, Low!
	🛎 1:40pm Hubig Pie: The most downbeat Xmas lp ever (cept for that lively first track)
	🛎 1:40pm Phillippe: Yay, done work for the day! only tomorrow morning meetings and I'm done for the year! Only downside, I'm an hourly contractor, so I'm not making any money the rest of the year... A proper hello to Handy, DiL, NGH, Chris, WR, Hubig, RR63, Michael, DiV, listener Phillip, S&M&S, chresti docjazz, Ike, Bas, Brian, KFHP, sylvia, and anyone I've missed (if that's possible)
	1:41pm Dave in Vermont: ↳ Song: "Long Way Around The Sea" by "Low" so good would love to hear some singing saw at Christmas
	1:42pm northguineahills: ↳ βrian @1:39 me my friends thought it would be a great idea to build a cabin in catskills in Feb 6km from the nearest paved road. So, we went in the middle of a blizzard. after the snow stopped, it got down to -20F. thankfully, one little cabin (built for two) had mostly been built, and had a wood stove. We had 8 guys huddled around that stove for most of that weekend when not hauling lumber..
	🛎 1:42pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Phillippe!
	1:44pm Mary Wing: ↳ Dave in Vermont @1:41 I do have a singing saw album on my damn dead music hard drive, unfortunately.
	🛎 1:44pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Phillippe!
	🛎 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @1:35 Well - there's the Sidereal (by the stars) Zodiac the Scientists generally refer to (such & such a planet is near this star from our view) - & there's the Tropical Zodiac (by the Seasons or the Tropics) which almost all Astrologers refer to (it's Winter Solstice & by gum that's when the ♑︎Capricorn Goat begins his climb out of the dark far as we're concerned...) That is - because the ⊕Earth wobbles a bit, like a top slowing down, the Signs & the Constellations don't match up anymore - & keep changing in alignment. The constellation the ⦿Sun is actually in @ Vernal Equinox, beginning of both Spring & the Zodiac, determines the Age we are in (technically, the Platonic Month in the Great Year) - what this 'Age of ♒︎Aquarius' business you've heard of is all about ...⊕Earth will eventually wobble back to where they line up again after ~25,000 years, if we don't poop too much in our own doggydish & anyone's here to see it...
	🛎 1:46pm Hubig Pie: Happy end of the work year, Phillippe.
	🛎 1:48pm βrian: Three hours until solstice time!
	1:48pm Michael 98145: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:37 cripes !
	🛎 1:49pm Handy Haversack: Roches!
	1:49pm northguineahills: i have heard more holiday tunes on wfmu then out in the wild this season...
	🛎 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @1:49 Allah is Merciful.
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Love the Roches (old groupy), even holiday music (the Grinch in me coming out).
	1:52pm doctorjazz: *groupie...
	🛎 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by "CeeLo Green" I resent the line about garlic ...'heartful of unwashed socks' is pretty good...
	🛎 1:54pm βrian: Oh, what was the garlic line??
	🛎 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ βrian @1:54 'you've got garlic in your soul' ...damn right I do bee-otch.
	🛎 1:56pm βrian: "… and I rub garlic on my soles!"
	2:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:55 drools garleek!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: hello Mary Wing & 100%ers
	🛎 2:05pm Phillippe: Safety Dance time! Hey coel!
	2:07pm Mary Wing: Hiya coelacanth!
	2:08pm northguineahills: not only have I've heard this song, and own this album, but ir has come pre-clickied...
	2:08pm chresti: ↳ Song: "" I missed it
	2:09pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @2:08 snert
	2:10pm Mary Wing: ↳ chresti @2:08 Missed what, chresti?
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: aloha Phillippe!
	2:11pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @2:08 Wow, how did that happen, NGH? :-)
	🛎 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "T. Rex" Bolan another one like Hendrix or PatsyCline who didn't think he'd live much longer & was right.
	🛎 2:12pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: There's a song on the final Joey Ramone album of the same title ("Life's a Gas") which certainly, if not intentionally an homage, owes a debt to this track...
	2:14pm unpopularfred: did that Hal Wilner/TRex album ever get finished/released?
	2:14pm northguineahills: the Tzadik series "great jewish music" has a tribute to marc bolan, and yes, it's a gas...
	2:14pm northguineahills: (tribute album)
	2:14pm Mary Wing: Lucinda for the fucking win, I say.
	🛎 2:15pm Handy Haversack: A fairly noncontroversial position, Mary.
	2:15pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @2:14 I couldn't find that album online, sadly. I saw there was a version on it!
	2:15pm doctorjazz: Lucinda has the best "off" voice EVER!
	🛎 2:15pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mary Wing @2:14 yup.
	2:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @2:10 chresti used the feature that usually links to a song, but she linked to a blank space. she was being subtly clever...
	🛎 2:18pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Lucinda Williams" this is soooo good
	🛎 2:18pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Sunflower Bean" Just picked up their latest record -- nice album
	2:19pm Michael 98145: Didn't realize before now what a great song this is ...
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "" oh i like that! Thanks chresti
	2:20pm Mary Wing: ↳ Phillippe @2:18 Did you get the orange vinyl?
	🛎 2:20pm Handy Haversack: Nice. More people should make non-duets into duets. Speaking of, at Karaoke Katharsis on Saturday, K8 finally found a Lita for her Ozzy and was able to do "Close My Eyes." And there was much rejoicing.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: the whole album's great (even if slider is better!)
	2:22pm rw: I know it really doesn't matter at all, but just wanted to check in to say hello!
	2:22pm Mary Wing: ↳ rw @2:22 Happy holidays to you, rw!
	2:23pm unpopularfred: ↳ unpopularfred @2:14 so I guess it's that AngelHeaded Hipster album
	2:23pm Mary Wing: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:19 I think the bass line really seals the deal for me.
	2:24pm Mary Wing: ↳ unpopularfred @2:23 HIya unpopularfred! I guess it is, not sure.
	🛎 2:24pm Phillippe: ↳ Mary Wing @2:20 I did! THere is a slight manufacturing flaw on the first track that sounds like a scratch, but I'm not sure about returning it. A little annoying, but its not like most of my older vinyl isn't flawed one way of another.
	2:24pm rw: Thanks Mary! And to you too! Wishing you and everyone here all the best in 2023!!
	🛎 2:24pm Phillippe: hey rw!
	2:24pm northguineahills: ↳ rw @2:22 yallos, rw!
	2:25pm rw: Howdy Phillippe! ngh!
	2:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Teenage Fanclub" never heard the teenaged fan club version.
	2:26pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mary Wing @2:24 Heh, I see that it says it is "A Hal Wilner production" right on the cover.
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	2:28pm Michael 98145: Cherie Currie !
	2:29pm rw: Shockabilly. Nice.
	2:30pm rw: yo coe!
	🛎 2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Shockabilly" Could go romantic with it ...or weird & wiggly like this. 'Gas' probly had some literal connotation in 1971 for someone sitting @ the apex of GlitterRawk...
	2:32pm coelacanth∅: they're not all wonderful, but i say there's not a clunker in the bunch
	🛎 2:32pm Handy Haversack: ... and a noble gas at that!
	2:32pm doctorjazz: One of those tunes that's hard to kill...
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: {such and such} "is a gas" goes way back, long before glitterrock
	🛎 2:34pm Phillippe: I was, as always, disappointed there was no Safety Dance, but come to find out it doesn't really matter at all.
	🛎 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:32 ...trick maybe is not being all - 'let's do the T-Rex song now to say we did' - but to actually inhabit it some, it seems...
	🛎 2:35pm Hubig Pie: Those noble gases, always runnin' around with their nose in the air, never interacting with the 'lesser' elements
	2:36pm Michael 98145: - una canción del grupo británico T-Rex, traducida al español y versionada -
	🛎 2:36pm Handy Haversack: Back from when musicians were Eocene herd herbivores and often had to graze on the grass, coela.
	🛎 2:36pm David (in London): ↳ Phillippe @2:34 Don't give in to despair, Phillippe. Bolan couldn't know the future, and I'm sure would have written the lyrics differently if he'd have been aware of how important the issue had become in late '22.
	2:37pm Michael 98145: so Last Century
	🛎 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...being a song about things of a kind & scale it's reasonable to regret - but asserting everything is light enuff to float actually ...& using Cosmic & Romantic imagery to do so ...very much a woozy coming down off psychedelics thing I get from it ...nice work if you can get it maybe.
	2:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:35 I see i need to periodically check in from time to time to make sure you're not boroning everyone...
	2:39pm Jeff Moore: One does wonder about the origin of that particular usage. And one is not alone. Quoth the Grammarphobia blog [1]: It wasn’t until the 20th century that the word “gas” took on the sense of “enjoyment, amusement, fun” in Irish English. The OED’s first citation for the usage is from Dubliners, James Joyce’s 1914 story collection. In “An Encounter,” a story about two boys who skip school, Mahony tells the narrator that he’s brought along a slingshot “to have some gas with the birds.” However, the usage you’re asking about (the use of “it’s a gas” or variants to mean it’s a lot of fun) didn’t show up in print until the mid-20th century, according to written examples in the dictionary. The earliest citation in the OED is from “Sonny’s Blues,” a 1957 short story by James Baldwin in The Partisan Review: “Brand-new pianos certainly were a gas.” Here’s a more recent example from Paul Auster’s 1990 novel The Music of Chance: “ ‘I’m looking forward to it immensely.’ ‘Me too, Bill,’ Pozzi said. ‘It’s going to be a gas.’ ” The OED doesn’t speculate about the origins of this sense of “gas,” but it points the reader to a related slang word, “gasser,” which it says originated as a jazz term. The earliest Oxford citation is from “The Hepsters Dictionary” (1944), a brief glossary by Cab Calloway: “When it comes to dancing, she’s a gasser.” The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang also links this use of “gas” to jazz. It cites several jazz examples, including one from Corner Boy, a 1957 novel by Herbert Simmons, in which a group of teen-agers discuss the jazz singer Nellie Lutcher: “Man, don’t Nellie kill you?” “She’s a gas, man, a natural petrol.” 1. www.grammarphobia.com...
	2:41pm Mary Wing: Hi Jeff! Thanks for the research, pal!
	2:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:39 and jazz/jass was originally a term for flatus, therefore....
	🛎 2:41pm βrian: Not celebratory ether, then?
	2:42pm Jeff Moore: ↳ Mary Wing @2:41 Hey, Mary! I was compelled by my own demons to try to look it up, then thought I might as well share.
	🛎 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:39 The 1960s use of 'gassy' doesn't hit the contempo ear quite right.
	🛎 2:43pm Handy Haversack: This year, class it up: gassé!
	🛎 2:44pm David (in London): gassé ain't passé
	🛎 2:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @2:41 I thot Jass was jizz - much as Rawkin' is Doin' It....
	2:44pm northguineahills: ↳ βrian @2:41 'they're making some jass up in that joint.' soon, it's owned by the musicians and the party-goers....
	2:44pm northguineahills: nick tosches does a better job explaining it then i...

	🛎 12:02pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, S&M&S! How's ten blocks south of here treating you?
	🛎 12:03pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: The heat's on and the coffee is up, so we can't complain, friend. How's 'bout you?
	🛎 12:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Mary and cedar waxwings.
	12:04pm Mary Wing: Hello S&M&S, Handy, chris in the redwoods, and Ken! I am ready to whatever, woot!
	12:04pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Good afternoon Mary wing🛎️
	🛎 12:04pm Handy Haversack: βrian, Sylvia, Chris, and all yet to alight on the Wing Thing: ring-a-ding-ding! Last few hours of working in Manhattan until January 3. Already looking forward to turning off my (barely functional brain).
	12:04pm Ike: Mmm, cedar.
	12:04pm chresti @🎾: Hey Mary and wingdinders!
	12:05pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: We are very happy your here!
	12:05pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Song: "The Egyptian Second Line" by "Nicholas Payton" Pow!
	12:05pm Mary Wing: Hiya Phillip, Ike, and chresti! Who is liking the new playlist features?
	12:06pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: The steamed chicken patty with steamed red potatoes are almost ready
	12:08pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Song: "The Egyptian Second Line" by "Nicholas Payton" Nice tennis check-in music
	12:09pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Ike @12:04 mmmm cedar
	12:10pm Mary Wing: I'll pass on cedar and head straight for cheddar, heh.
	🛎 12:10pm Handy Haversack: Mary, I can take or leave them. I find I rarely need to make use, that it's usually clear from context.
	12:11pm Ike: ↳ Mary Wing @12:05 Me. The symbols fit in nicely, in my humble opinion, and it's an interesting way to do conversational threads that doesn't disrupt the structure that was already in place.
	🛎 12:12pm Phillippe: howdy
	12:12pm Mary Wing: ↳ Ike @12:11 Plus you don't have to keep typing @Ike @12:11, I guess.
	12:13pm Mary Wing: Hey there Phillippe! Hope your family has a stress-free holiday, to make up for your Thanksgiving!
	12:14pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Mary Wing @12:05 It is useful as long as I click on the correct bubbles
	🛎 12:14pm Hubig Pie: I like this Nicholas Payton. I do not like -38f wind chill outside me door.
	🛎 12:14pm Handy Haversack: Hubig bar the door!
	🛎 12:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Mary Wing @12:05 When someone comments "I like this song," it can be clear which song they meant.
	12:16pm Mary Wing: ↳ chresti @🎾 @12:14 I suppose it is more useful on chattier chat boards; the screen isn't particularly scrolling wildly on these here playlists, heh.
	12:16pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Mary Wing @12:12 yes to less typing for my "pick and peck" method
	12:17pm Mary Wing: Hiya Hubig! Have you dug yourself out of the snow?
	12:17pm chresti @🎾: ↳ Mary Wing @12:16 exactly! Internet just cut out sigh
	🛎 12:19pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:14 Thanks for the cocktail recipes. This is my first use of the comment balloon. It makes the comment window rather smallish.
	12:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @12:16 i could change that (if i can wake up)
	🛎 12:19pm Bas NL: Hello Mary & happy 100%!
	🛎 12:20pm βrian: The interface seems tetchy. It worked ok yesterday, but now not so much.
	12:20pm Ike: ↳ Mary Wing @12:12 EXACTLY. It's a small thing, but I kind of hated doing that -- but I felt it was essential for readability. No more, yay!
	🛎 12:21pm Hubig Pie: Jah, Mary. Lotsa digging indeed. Now a few days of insanely cold wx.
	12:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Ike @12:20 @Ike@12:20 - but I like redundancy....
	12:22pm Ike: ↳ Hubig Pie @12:19 I believe Kenzo is working on that. It may depend on the length of the name you're replying to (?) or some such. When it hits me, I just type a few words and then continue in the confirmation window, which gives ample room.
	🛎 12:22pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, I made Princess Mary's Pride last night and Dressed Up Like a Dog's Dinner the night before. Glad they are useful!
	12:24pm Mary Wing: Howdy NGH and Bas! I've got mellow sounds for a while, not sure if you can wake up without a cuppa cawfee, heh.
	12:24pm Michael 98145: Happy Solstice Day, Friends
	🛎 12:25pm Phillippe: ↳ Mary Wing @12:13 thanks, but I'm already having my doubts...
	🛎 12:26pm Bas NL: ↳ Mary Wing @12:24 Mellow away! :)
	12:27pm Ike: ↳ northguineahills @12:21 That reminds me of Pat Byrne's old show name, Redundancy Radio with DJ Repeating DJ, or something like that. No wait, that wasn't it... it's been supplanted in the archives by his subsequent name (i.e. his real name) so now I can't find it!
	🛎 12:29pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Handy Haversack @12:22 I have everything but the Dubonnet to make the first. I'll have to employ a shopping cart at the liquor store for the second, but it do look tasty.
	12:29pm Mary Wing: Good morning Michael 98145!
	12:31pm Mary Wing: ↳ Ike @12:27 Pat's show after Redundancy Radio was Prove It All Night!
	🛎 12:32pm Handy Haversack: Hubig, a bottle of Dubonnet is nice to have on hand also for a Vendôme: equal parts gin, Dubonnet, dey vermouth.
	🛎 12:33pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Ike @12:22 Well that is a good idea you have there.
	12:36pm Ike: ↳ Mary Wing @12:31 No, I mean I was trying to remember DJ name during Redundancy Radio, before he was Pat Byrne during Prove It. Redundancy Radio and Prove It have melded together into a single glob in the archives so it's not shown. Redundancy Radio with DJ Rerun Repeat? I don't know, something like that.
	🛎 12:36pm Hubig Pie: Handy, nothing touches my Tanqueray ™ but an ice cube!
	🛎 12:37pm David (in London): More festive than Christmas with Bing, it's Mary Wing. Afternoon groovemongers.
	🛎 12:37pm Handy Haversack: Only his gin dresser knows for sure! Afternoon, David.
	12:38pm Mary Wing: Greetings, David in London! This is as festive as I can manage for the moment!
	12:42pm northguineahills: ↳ David (in London) @12:37 what about (ms) Bing w/ Bing Crosby? /"one bing only, vasili."
	12:42pm doctorjazz: Cool set-Hi Mary and Holiday week 100%ers!
	12:44pm Mary Wing: Hiya doctorjazz! Short week, folloed by a shorter week, woo hoo!
	🛎 12:44pm Handy Haversack: Crazy Ivan, ngh!
	12:45pm Michael 98145: Juana !
	12:47pm chresti: ↳ David (in London) @12:37 Davidkins!
	🛎 12:48pm David (in London): ↳ chresti @12:47 Chrestikins!
	🛎 12:49pm David (in London): And wotcha Handles, ngh, Michael, Hubig, jazzmedic, Phillippe, Basmeester, Ken, S&M&S, et al. Fine groovers, every one.
	12:50pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Did I say happy your here with us Mary Wing🛎️
	12:50pm northguineahills: now i feel old realizing this album came out 22 years ago...
	12:51pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Can’t wait! Can’t wait for this damn holiday to be over.
	12:51pm Michael 98145: i'm old and cold
	12:52pm Michael 98145: bring back the sun
	🛎 12:53pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, David!
	12:53pm Mary Wing: I think Juana is trying to sync with our brain waves, now, hhe.
	12:55pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Today is the “winter equinox” if anyone cares when the earth is completely tilted away from the sun ☀️
	12:55pm northguineahills: no sun down here....
	12:55pm northguineahills: ↳ listener Phillip in the Bronx @12:55 (except for the antipodeans)
	12:55pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: After today the days slowly get longer. Until march 20th
	12:56pm Mary Wing: Seems pretty sunny outside right now.
	12:57pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Yes yes it’s sunny here in the Bronx. But Thursday and Friday hopefully it will be RAIN instead of a BLIZZARD of snow
	🛎 12:58pm chris in the redwoods: love this Juana Molina album. also loving this freshly brewed cup of Gesha from Chiapas, Mexico, roasted by Sightglass in LA.
	1:01pm Dave in Vermont: ding!
	1:02pm northguineahills: ↳ chris in the redwoods @12:58 looks at my shirt chiapas you say? well, i'm wearing a shirt for a heroine of chiapas (subcomandante ramona)
	🛎 1:04pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ northguineahills @1:02 nice!:)
	1:05pm northguineahills: ↳ chris in the redwoods @1:04 (done as riff off the ramones)
	🛎 1:07pm WR: Hi Mary and folks. Another work day here. Started listing during the Coltrane track. Whole first set looks essential for me to circle back to the archive. So I will be a listener from the future, probably tomorrow morning,
	1:09pm Mary Wing: Hi Dave in Vermont and WR! Ooops, I put the mystery artists already on the playlist, heh.
	1:10pm Mary Wing: ↳ WR @1:07 Glad to hear it, WR! I always want to shout out the future listeners!
	1:15pm Mary Wing: Just bounce, no hands, heh. Great dance instructions!
	🛎 1:16pm Handy Haversack: I think everybody should look at your hands just in case.
	1:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @1:15 so, trad (ie: irish) step-dancing?
	🛎 1:18pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ northguineahills @1:05 of course! damn that's cool.
	1:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @1:16 "why do they call them fingers?"
	🛎 1:18pm David (in London): The spirit of Judge Dredd moves amongst us.
	1:19pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @1:17 I was thinking more of badgers, heh. www.youtube.com...
	1:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @1:19 Noooooooooooooooooooooo! thanks, it's take another few solar revolutions to get that out of my head again (i've been free of that for quite a while, now).
	1:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @1:19 "mushroom"
	1:22pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @1:20 The badger is never far from my consciousness, along with the Amazing Horse, heh.
	🛎 1:27pm Hubig Pie: They just closed the local ski area cuz the wind chill is -43f 🥶. Okay, no mo wx reports

	🛎 1:29pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:27 jayzus! that's breath crackling cold.
	🛎 1:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ Happy Solstice FMUvianz ! ~ & a Kewl Yule to You & Yours. Wed. Dec. 21st @ 4:49 P.M. Eastern ST is Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, in 2022. Official ~ technical / astronomical Beginning of Winter. Longest night of the year - after this, daylight gets longer for half a year. This is when the ⦿Sun is lowest & furthest South in the sky (Northern Hemisphere) - so note where it rises & sets @ your location. This is also when the ⦿Sun enters ♑︎Capricorn - sign of the SeaGoat - & last of the three practical Earth Element signs - who makes the long final climb out of the depths of the Darkness to the Heights...
	1:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:27 I've been at the top of snowshoe, wv, when the windchill was -50(F/C), but it was at night (they didn't close, but I was basically the only one on the slopes, and nothing kept me warm on the lifts)
	1:33pm Mary Wing: Happy Solstice, RevRab!
	🛎 1:34pm Hubig Pie: ↳ northguineahills @1:31 Chair lift of lost souls. You get on but you never get off....
	1:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:31 due to the precession of the equinoxes, the latitude, "the tropic of cancer" should now be the "tropic of gemini" and the "tropic of capricorn" should be the "tropic of sagitarrius".
	1:35pm Michael 98145: the coldest i've seen is -17F, and that was enough
	🛎 1:37pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Michael 98145 @1:35 Forecast to bottom out here overnight at -29f air temp.
	🛎 1:39pm βrian: I was once living in a cabin with board siding (but no battens) @ -30℉. Feather ticks and a large woodstove kept us going.
	1:39pm northguineahills: yes, Low!
	🛎 1:40pm Hubig Pie: The most downbeat Xmas lp ever (cept for that lively first track)
	🛎 1:40pm Phillippe: Yay, done work for the day! only tomorrow morning meetings and I'm done for the year! Only downside, I'm an hourly contractor, so I'm not making any money the rest of the year... A proper hello to Handy, DiL, NGH, Chris, WR, Hubig, RR63, Michael, DiV, listener Phillip, S&M&S, chresti docjazz, Ike, Bas, Brian, KFHP, sylvia, and anyone I've missed (if that's possible)
	1:41pm Dave in Vermont: ↳ Song: "Long Way Around The Sea" by "Low" so good would love to hear some singing saw at Christmas
	1:42pm northguineahills: ↳ βrian @1:39 me my friends thought it would be a great idea to build a cabin in catskills in Feb 6km from the nearest paved road. So, we went in the middle of a blizzard. after the snow stopped, it got down to -20F. thankfully, one little cabin (built for two) had mostly been built, and had a wood stove. We had 8 guys huddled around that stove for most of that weekend when not hauling lumber..
	🛎 1:42pm chris in the redwoods: hey, Phillippe!
	1:44pm Mary Wing: ↳ Dave in Vermont @1:41 I do have a singing saw album on my damn dead music hard drive, unfortunately.
	🛎 1:44pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Phillippe!
	🛎 1:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @1:35 Well - there's the Sidereal (by the stars) Zodiac the Scientists generally refer to (such & such a planet is near this star from our view) - & there's the Tropical Zodiac (by the Seasons or the Tropics) which almost all Astrologers refer to (it's Winter Solstice & by gum that's when the ♑︎Capricorn Goat begins his climb out of the dark far as we're concerned...) That is - because the ⊕Earth wobbles a bit, like a top slowing down, the Signs & the Constellations don't match up anymore - & keep changing in alignment. The constellation the ⦿Sun is actually in @ Vernal Equinox, beginning of both Spring & the Zodiac, determines the Age we are in (technically, the Platonic Month in the Great Year) - what this 'Age of ♒︎Aquarius' business you've heard of is all about ...⊕Earth will eventually wobble back to where they line up again after ~25,000 years, if we don't poop too much in our own doggydish & anyone's here to see it...
	🛎 1:46pm Hubig Pie: Happy end of the work year, Phillippe.
	🛎 1:48pm βrian: Three hours until solstice time!
	1:48pm Michael 98145: ↳ Hubig Pie @1:37 cripes !
	🛎 1:49pm Handy Haversack: Roches!
	1:49pm northguineahills: i have heard more holiday tunes on wfmu then out in the wild this season...
	🛎 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ northguineahills @1:49 Allah is Merciful.
	1:51pm doctorjazz: Love the Roches (old groupy), even holiday music (the Grinch in me coming out).
	1:52pm doctorjazz: *groupie...
	🛎 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" by "CeeLo Green" I resent the line about garlic ...'heartful of unwashed socks' is pretty good...
	🛎 1:54pm βrian: Oh, what was the garlic line??
	🛎 1:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ βrian @1:54 'you've got garlic in your soul' ...damn right I do bee-otch.
	🛎 1:56pm βrian: "… and I rub garlic on my soles!"
	2:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:55 drools garleek!
	2:01pm coelacanth∅: hello Mary Wing & 100%ers
	🛎 2:05pm Phillippe: Safety Dance time! Hey coel!
	2:07pm Mary Wing: Hiya coelacanth!
	2:08pm northguineahills: not only have I've heard this song, and own this album, but ir has come pre-clickied...
	2:08pm chresti: ↳ Song: "" I missed it
	2:09pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @2:08 snert
	2:10pm Mary Wing: ↳ chresti @2:08 Missed what, chresti?
	2:10pm coelacanth∅: aloha Phillippe!
	2:11pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @2:08 Wow, how did that happen, NGH? :-)
	🛎 2:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "T. Rex" Bolan another one like Hendrix or PatsyCline who didn't think he'd live much longer & was right.
	🛎 2:12pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: There's a song on the final Joey Ramone album of the same title ("Life's a Gas") which certainly, if not intentionally an homage, owes a debt to this track...
	2:14pm unpopularfred: did that Hal Wilner/TRex album ever get finished/released?
	2:14pm northguineahills: the Tzadik series "great jewish music" has a tribute to marc bolan, and yes, it's a gas...
	2:14pm northguineahills: (tribute album)
	2:14pm Mary Wing: Lucinda for the fucking win, I say.
	🛎 2:15pm Handy Haversack: A fairly noncontroversial position, Mary.
	2:15pm Mary Wing: ↳ northguineahills @2:14 I couldn't find that album online, sadly. I saw there was a version on it!
	2:15pm doctorjazz: Lucinda has the best "off" voice EVER!
	🛎 2:15pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Mary Wing @2:14 yup.
	2:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Mary Wing @2:10 chresti used the feature that usually links to a song, but she linked to a blank space. she was being subtly clever...
	🛎 2:18pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Lucinda Williams" this is soooo good
	🛎 2:18pm Phillippe: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Sunflower Bean" Just picked up their latest record -- nice album
	2:19pm Michael 98145: Didn't realize before now what a great song this is ...
	2:20pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "" oh i like that! Thanks chresti
	2:20pm Mary Wing: ↳ Phillippe @2:18 Did you get the orange vinyl?
	🛎 2:20pm Handy Haversack: Nice. More people should make non-duets into duets. Speaking of, at Karaoke Katharsis on Saturday, K8 finally found a Lita for her Ozzy and was able to do "Close My Eyes." And there was much rejoicing.
	2:21pm coelacanth∅: the whole album's great (even if slider is better!)
	2:22pm rw: I know it really doesn't matter at all, but just wanted to check in to say hello!
	2:22pm Mary Wing: ↳ rw @2:22 Happy holidays to you, rw!
	2:23pm unpopularfred: ↳ unpopularfred @2:14 so I guess it's that AngelHeaded Hipster album
	2:23pm Mary Wing: ↳ Michael 98145 @2:19 I think the bass line really seals the deal for me.
	2:24pm Mary Wing: ↳ unpopularfred @2:23 HIya unpopularfred! I guess it is, not sure.
	🛎 2:24pm Phillippe: ↳ Mary Wing @2:20 I did! THere is a slight manufacturing flaw on the first track that sounds like a scratch, but I'm not sure about returning it. A little annoying, but its not like most of my older vinyl isn't flawed one way of another.
	2:24pm rw: Thanks Mary! And to you too! Wishing you and everyone here all the best in 2023!!
	🛎 2:24pm Phillippe: hey rw!
	2:24pm northguineahills: ↳ rw @2:22 yallos, rw!
	2:25pm rw: Howdy Phillippe! ngh!
	2:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Teenage Fanclub" never heard the teenaged fan club version.
	2:26pm Mary Wing: ↳ Mary Wing @2:24 Heh, I see that it says it is "A Hal Wilner production" right on the cover.
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	2:28pm Michael 98145: Cherie Currie !
	2:29pm rw: Shockabilly. Nice.
	2:30pm rw: yo coe!
	🛎 2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "Shockabilly" Could go romantic with it ...or weird & wiggly like this. 'Gas' probly had some literal connotation in 1971 for someone sitting @ the apex of GlitterRawk...
	2:32pm coelacanth∅: they're not all wonderful, but i say there's not a clunker in the bunch
	🛎 2:32pm Handy Haversack: ... and a noble gas at that!
	2:32pm doctorjazz: One of those tunes that's hard to kill...
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: {such and such} "is a gas" goes way back, long before glitterrock
	🛎 2:34pm Phillippe: I was, as always, disappointed there was no Safety Dance, but come to find out it doesn't really matter at all.
	🛎 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:32 ...trick maybe is not being all - 'let's do the T-Rex song now to say we did' - but to actually inhabit it some, it seems...
	🛎 2:35pm Hubig Pie: Those noble gases, always runnin' around with their nose in the air, never interacting with the 'lesser' elements
	2:36pm Michael 98145: - una canción del grupo británico T-Rex, traducida al español y versionada -
	🛎 2:36pm Handy Haversack: Back from when musicians were Eocene herd herbivores and often had to graze on the grass, coela.
	🛎 2:36pm David (in London): ↳ Phillippe @2:34 Don't give in to despair, Phillippe. Bolan couldn't know the future, and I'm sure would have written the lyrics differently if he'd have been aware of how important the issue had become in late '22.
	2:37pm Michael 98145: so Last Century
	🛎 2:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...being a song about things of a kind & scale it's reasonable to regret - but asserting everything is light enuff to float actually ...& using Cosmic & Romantic imagery to do so ...very much a woozy coming down off psychedelics thing I get from it ...nice work if you can get it maybe.
	2:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:35 I see i need to periodically check in from time to time to make sure you're not boroning everyone...
	2:39pm Jeff Moore: One does wonder about the origin of that particular usage. And one is not alone. Quoth the Grammarphobia blog [1]: It wasn’t until the 20th century that the word “gas” took on the sense of “enjoyment, amusement, fun” in Irish English. The OED’s first citation for the usage is from Dubliners, James Joyce’s 1914 story collection. In “An Encounter,” a story about two boys who skip school, Mahony tells the narrator that he’s brought along a slingshot “to have some gas with the birds.” However, the usage you’re asking about (the use of “it’s a gas” or variants to mean it’s a lot of fun) didn’t show up in print until the mid-20th century, according to written examples in the dictionary. The earliest citation in the OED is from “Sonny’s Blues,” a 1957 short story by James Baldwin in The Partisan Review: “Brand-new pianos certainly were a gas.” Here’s a more recent example from Paul Auster’s 1990 novel The Music of Chance: “ ‘I’m looking forward to it immensely.’ ‘Me too, Bill,’ Pozzi said. ‘It’s going to be a gas.’ ” The OED doesn’t speculate about the origins of this sense of “gas,” but it points the reader to a related slang word, “gasser,” which it says originated as a jazz term. The earliest Oxford citation is from “The Hepsters Dictionary” (1944), a brief glossary by Cab Calloway: “When it comes to dancing, she’s a gasser.” The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang also links this use of “gas” to jazz. It cites several jazz examples, including one from Corner Boy, a 1957 novel by Herbert Simmons, in which a group of teen-agers discuss the jazz singer Nellie Lutcher: “Man, don’t Nellie kill you?” “She’s a gas, man, a natural petrol.” 1. www.grammarphobia.com...

	🛎 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Jeff Moore @2:39 The 1960s use of 'gassy' doesn't hit the contempo ear quite right.

	2:49pm coelacanth∅: chris YES!
	🛎 2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Life's A Gas" by "T. Rex" ...anyhow - just wondering if Marc intended us to infer huffing Nitrous.
	2:51pm Jeff Moore: ↳ doctorjazz @2:47 If you little reprobates won't absorb these lectures for the sheer love of learning... then yes, anything's eligible to be on the test, and your grade will go down on your Permanent Record!
	2:51pm chresti: Thanks Mary! C y'all soon!
